Straps and facts.

While on a drunken spree in Bos-
ton on Sunday night of last week
John sullivan of No. . Lawrance court,
wandered aboard the British steamship
Austriana and fell asleep. When he
awoke next morning he was out of
sight of land and was regarded as
stowaway and put to work scrubbing
the deck The AuStriana arrived in
Savannah last sunday night after a
stormy trip. and sullivan, whose first
experience on the sea was trying one,
was turned over to the immigrant IN
spector. After some difficulty he es-
tablished the fact he was the victim
of circumstance and was discharged.
But he is broke and will have to wait
for aid from home. The last Sullivan
remembered before he walked up at
sea was meeting a sailor on the street
in Boston, who was drunker than ne
was. He volunteered to take the sailor
home and landed on the steamer, where
he fell asleep unnoticed in the rush OF
getting away. The Austriana was IN
the storm.
New York, October 21: The sug-
ar market has continued its down.
ward course during the past week.
recording new low levels for both raw
and refined. Practical stagnatlon III
business has been the result so far as
the movement of granulated is con-
cerned, for distribution instead of be-
ing stimulated by cutting. held oil the
more. 1t was argued by brokers that
so long as the margin between raWS
and refined was over 50 points, the
country would not come in. lndepen-
dents here led the way in cutting
prices this week until AS cents net
was reached by one refiner with every
indication that the others would soon
follow. While the prime object OF
the reduction in prices was TO attract
business. the decline was also in SYM
pathy with the weakness in raWs,
which sold down to 3.S5c. The reac-
ton in raw sugar is only in keeping
with the cables from Europe, where
the beet crop is estimated at 1,IOO,-
900 tons, or about 100000 more than
last year. The hurricane in Cuba did
little damage to the cane, ana the
prospects favor another big yield on
the island next year-l,SOO '0Oo tons
The domestic beet crop will be large
but the prices received promise to
be materially less than last year.

A tentative system of collecting
credit information for the benent OF
national bank examiners with the COM
pillation and checking up OF the COM
mitmentS of large local and EXTENDED
borrowers, has been formulated by
committee of the examiners VINO nave
been meeting at the treasury depart
ment in Washington. Every examiner
hereafter will keep for his own use
complete file of all large and extended
borrowers in his district from whlch
lists will be sent to the treasury de-
partment for summarizing. The ma
chinery available by the comptroller OF
the currency will be put TO work 10
gather such credit information as can
be obtained from national banks and
from state banks and trust companies
located in states where there is already
cooperation between the Federal and
state banking officials as in New York
The examiners will not divulge the
name of the bank where line of cred
il is found of an extended borrower,
their special reports giving the total
only of the loans listed. These lists
are entirely confidential. 1t is not con-
templated that any comprehensive
plan that will guarantee the assem-
bling of complete credit information
covering commitments in all the banks
in the United States is practical at this

relationship between the banks and
the borrower to be interfered with. 1t
is expected thai the knowledge that
100 or more men are keeping a con-
stant check on the borrowings will
make it extremely hazardous for the
dishonest individual, firm or corpora
ton to get money from the national
banks.
- Columbia, October %: There
will be some three cOrnered politics
in South Carolina in the next general
election which is to be held on No
vember s. There will be three par
ties 70 go to the polls, Democrats
Republicans and Socialists. The lat
est political announcement is 10 the
effect that Charles W. Thompson of
Reevesville will be a candidate for
governor on the Socialist ticket to op-
pose c. l.. Blease the nominee of the
Democratic party. So far the Repub-
licanS have not expressed an inten-
tion of putting a governor in the
field The Socialists will also put out
candidates for congress in several dis
tricts of the state. Should the Social
lists put out a candidate for congress
from the seventh congressional dis
trict ii would mean that there would
be four candidates aspiring for the
already named u negro by the name
of Richardson from this district. 1t
is likely that the white Republicans
will put out a candidate. This will
mean that \. F. Lever, Democratic
nominee will likely have opposition
from three parties. counting the two
wings of the Republican party. The
tickets for the general election are
being sent out to the various counties
Of the state. On Wednesday of this
week the white Republicans have
been called TO meet in all of the coun-
ties of the state to elect delegates to
the state convention which has been
called by Capt. John G. Capers for
Thursday. The state convention for
the white Republicans Will be held in
this city.
