In The Police Court.

The following cases were tried by
Recorder Lee Friday:
b. II. House, public drunkenness
and cursing, $40 on each charge
Geo. Stewart, petit larceny, $50 or
80 days. Stewart was charged with
taking cigars from Mr.. r. p. Brad
wells store. He denied the charge
and his employer and Mr.. Bradwell
both stated that hitherto he had been
found to be perfectly honest. Stew
art stated that he had purchased the
cigars the night before from some
negro down on Manning Avenue.
The Recorder stated that he could
not take this statement as true when
the cigars which had been stolen
from Mr.. Bradwell were found in
Stewards trunk, and he accordingly
found Stewart guilty and imposed the
fine upon him.
Sam Richardson, for dscharging
firearms in the city limits, was fined
$50 OF 80 days. Sam claimed that
he had not discharged the pistol, but
that someone else had fired 1t at him.
1t seems from the testimony that
Sam had gotten in trouble by prom
ising to marry one lady who had
found him going out riding with an
other "colored lady," The shooting
occurred several days ago, but Sam
was only arrested Thursday when
he was passing through town on MS
way from Wedgefeld.

Pinewood, Nov. 10.-This town was
saddened this morning when 1t was
announced that Bob Griffin had died
at 4:3O this morning. The deceased
was the youngest son Of Mr.. Ben
Griffin, who in the past six years has
lost his wife, three daughters and
Bob.
The young man was above the
average in character and was a de-
vout Christian and a member of the
Baptist church. He had visited sew
eral resorts in New York State, also
Atlanta and Asheville. in hope of re-
gaining his health, but to no avail.
The sympathy Of the entire town
and community is extended to the
only two surviving members of the
family. Mr.. Griffin and his son.

shop. except to make their Govern
ments the vehicles through which, by
unity Of action, they may have some
voice in fixing their share Of the
fruits Of their own toll. 1t is mis-
fortune, Governor, even If people
were able to hold their cotton, for
them to be forced to do so, unless
adequate provision be made to bor-
row money. To tie up one hundred
bales Of cotton means that much
money retired from circulation. A
warehouse certificate is now merely
an asset in certain localities or chan
nels Of trade.
IF the name Of the State of
Louisiana makes her certificates good
in all the money marts Of the world,
why should not the name Of South
Carolina be equally good? Why can
not you do for our State what Gov
ernor Jared Y. Sanders has done for
Louisiana? Why could not the mag
nificient harbor and terminal facil-
tiles of Charleston be utilized for
this State, as those Of New Orleans
are for Louisiana, Mississippi and
Eastern Texas? The harbor of Char
lesion is a splendid asset; it belongs
to South Carolina. Why not use it?
"As to the cost Of holding an eX-
ira session, l am deeply gratified TO
learn OF the patriotic spirit which
prompted the Senator from Newberry
to refuse pay for services at an extra
session. / am not willing, however,
TO admit that the Senator from New
berry had a monopoly Of the patriot
ism of South Carolina, and, if call
ed on, l believe the entire General
Assembly would serve in this emer-
gency free Of cost.
1.-THE Act of 1908, page 1,O79, pro-
v.des pay for the regular session.
Therefore, we may infer that the
Legislature expected that members
called in extra session would serve
from patriotic reasons, or that no
Governor would ever be so progress
sive as TO call an extra session for
any purpose other than to elect
some man to office, as was the case in
the extra session to which you re-
ferred.
With assurances Of my highest re-
spect, l am yours very truly,

PRESIDENT FINLEY DISCUSSES
BANKS.
Currency Legislation Should BE
Framed TO Meet Sectional Require
ments.
For the Committee

Washington, Nov. S.-Speaking to-
day Of the present discussion Of cur
rencv legislation, President Finley. Of
the Southern Railway Company said:
"The banks Of the Southern States
compare very favorably as TO sound
ness and ability of management with
those of any other part Of the coun-
try. This was demonstrated in the
panic Of 1907 and the subsequent
business depression.
I'm the South, as in the West. a
much larger supply of currency is
needed during the crop-moying per-
iod than at any other time in the
year. The effec. IF the present bank
ing system is that, during the crop
moving season and IS a result Of this
larger demand for cash, interests
rate tend to advance and credit IS
curtailed. Notwithstanding the fact
that farmers Of the South are bring
ing to market hundreds OF millions
of dollars worth Of cotton and other
products on the basis Of which credit
should expand rather than contract
Speaking generally, therefore,
any plan Of currency legislation
should not only he such as will stand
the strain Of conditions tending to
create panics. but should also be so
framed as to meet peculiar sectional
requirements This does not
mean that legislation should
be sectional. for any plan that will
enable the banks Of the south, or
Of any other locality. to meet their
sectional demands for cash and to
expand their credit within safe limits
will be beneficial to the entire coun-
try.
1T is. | believe, to the interest OF
the entire country as well as of the
South. that the banking resources of
each locality should be made avail
able for commercial transactions III
that locality, as far as this can be
done consistently with safety and
sound banking. In its own opera
tions the Southern Railway Company
aims to aid in the carrying out OF
this policy. SO far as it can consist
emily do SO. ii allows the money il
receives in payment for freight and
passenger transportation to remain
in the localities in which it is col
lected. in the shape Of deposits in
local banks. to be drawn upon from
time as occasion may require in pay
ment Of wages and other Obligations.
