number of items over the veto,
there were only four which pass

proved South Caroline pays upward
of $4,000 each year interest, for bor-
rowing money to pay appropriations,
you should make the levy sufhclent to
meet them. Furthermore, South Caro-

is appropriated to run her govern
ment Now, gentlemen, behold our
condition.; in debt, heavily already,
borrowing and paying large interest,
still making appropriations to do
what we are not compelled to do and
borrowing money and paying interest
to meet the deficiency. This would be
disastrous immediately to private in
dustries and must be sooner or later
to our grand old Palmetto State.
In Case of Panic!
'Suppose, gentlemen, that We were
to strike a panic like we had in 1907,
and could not borrow this money,
what a pitiful condition our proud
mother would be in, unable to meet
her obligations and unable to borrow
sufficient to meet them. Humiliation
would follow and disaster would be
the result. You may say that the
panic is not coming. None OF US
thought so in 1907. The gambling and
speculation which is now going on in
this country, with a eew men con-
trolling the entire money interests,
NAV throw it upon US at any moment.
The wise man guards against such
conting gencies. Shall we be wise, or
shall We be like the foolish Virgins,
with our lamps not trimmed and
burning? See the amounts OF your
appropriations for 1911; compare with
that rhe fact that your revenue for
this year from indirect sources estl-

know from his long experience in that
