A LEGITIMATE
LOAN SOCIETY
THE PRoVIDENT LOAN SOCIETY
OF PENSACOLA WILL NOT
CHARGE ExoRRITANT RATES

A legitimate loan society, and one
which will not violate any laws of
the state by charging exorbitant rates
of interest, has been launched in Pen
sacola in the Provident Loan Society,
which has executive offices in the
American National Bank building. The
society will, on the other hand, assist
poor families who need money, and
will allow them to have it on security
at a low rate of interest.
The head offices of the company are
in New York and the company was
organized and has as directors such
men as ]. PierpOnt Morgan, Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Thos. F. Ryan, Ex-Mayol
Set Low and others.
The company declares that no in
weston in it's stock need feel that he
is realizing profits as a result of i'm
proper business methods, as the b1si.
ness of the society is conducted or
banking principles, in q dignified ant
conservative manner, and no unfair
advantage is taken Of the borrower IL
any way. The company further states
that the loan business has beer
brought into notoriety not from the
mere fact of borrowing, but because
Of the unusual rates of interes

this business has largely fallen.

Although they are working on the

Repeated attempts have been made
recently to burn this house, as many
as three attempts having been made
one night about a month ago and
since that time other attempts have
been made.

TO INVESTIGATE DIsPENSARY.
Joint Committee Will Investigate Dis
y pensary-HOuse Members Are
Named.

The following are the two commit
tees:
Senate-Sullivan, Carlisle and Cliff

House-Cary, ". L. Daniel and J.
J. Evans.
Following the passage over the veto
of the governor, a few days ago, OF
the dispensary investigation act,
Speaker Mendel L. Smith Friday nam
ed the members On the joint investi-
eating committee, as provided for in
the act. The house members of the
committee are: Messrs. F. M. Cary
Oconee; W. L. Daniel, of Saluda, and
J. J. Evans, of Marlboro. The sena-
tors who are to serve On the commit
tee were named last year by Mr.. Chas
A. Smith, lieutenant governor. They
are Messrs. G. W. Sullivan, of Ander-
son; H. B. Carlisle, of Spartanburg
and John H. Clifton, of Sumter.
The investigating act was passed by
the general assembly last year, fol-
lowing a message from the governor
in which he asked that such. an inVes-
tigation be made. The act provided
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1912-01-23

for an investigation Of the former dis
pensary winding-up commission, sue
ceeded last year by commission ap-
pointed by Governor Blease, and of
the acts and doings of the governor,
the attorney general and others con-
nected with the old dispensary COM
mission and the winding-up of the al
fairs of that institution.
No steps have yet been taken look
ing toward the conduct of the inves-
tigation. The senate committee has
been waiting upon tie announcement
of the members from the house and
were not in position today to .Iake
public statement as to Waat inmt-
diate steps would be taken. It is
thought, however, that the two COM
mittees will get together il the very
near future, organize and take such
steps as are necessary toward begin
ming the investigation. The committee
is clothed by the act with iuIl power
to require the production of papers
and the attendance Of Witnesses, and
that the investigation will be thor
Duh is not doubted.
One Of he objecfS OF the invesTiga-
ton, it is understood, from discussion
of the measure on the floor of both
houses, is to find whether or not there
is any ground for the intimatlons
made by Governor Blease as to dis
honest conduct on the part of the for
mer members of the winding-up COM
mission, and to report in full their
findings as to whether those gentle
men have been guilty Of misconduct.
The members of the commission are
DR.. W. J. Murray, chairman, and
Messrs. Avery Patton, of GreenVille;
J. s. Brice, of Chester; John McSWeen,
of Florence, and A. N. Wood, o. Chero-
kee.

SENATOR APPELT ON THE LEGIS-
LATURE.

Hon. Lewis Appel, who is State SEN
ator from Clarendon county, and also
editor of the Manning Times, sends
the following comments to his paper
touching matters of interest. There is
much truth in what Senator Appel
says. The legislature is against GOV.
Blease and the impression We gained
while in Columbia last week was that
many of the members were taking
positions against measures on account
of their opposition to the governor
rather than considering the measures
on their merits.
We agree with Senator Appelt on
the libel bill. We do not think this
bill should become law and neither 90
we think that Gov. Blease should have
used the language that he did in his
veto message.
The house passed the bill distribut-
ing the dispensary fund over the veto.
This veto was sustained by the State
board Of education, men who are not
in politics and who say that it is a
onglomeratiou which no intelligent
man can straighten out or know what
IS really the intention Of the act.
AS to Tom Fielder we never Gid be-
lieve he had any testimony or it
would have been forthcoming long
age, and if be had any damaging tes-
tinony against Gov. Blease he acted
in bad faith in not giving it to the in
vestigating committee when he was
paid to bring the grafters to justice.
Of course he can get off lot Of bill
irgsgate and abuse of Gov. Blease and
any c.he~ citizen he may desire to in
jure, and there are a lot of newspapers
in South Carolina that would take de-
light in publishing anything damaging
to some people, whether there was any
truth it in or not. Fielder seems to

DRAG THE ROADS.
it to them

This is a mighty fine time to test
out the split log drag. There is scarce
ly public road in Newberry county
that is in good condition at this time
after the long wet and snow spell. If
the roads are dragged as soon as con-
ditions will permit and then dragged
again as soon as they pack a little
more it will prove conclusivelv wheth-
er the drag is worth while. 1t will
take much less time to drag the roads
than it will take to travel over them
in their present condition. In other
words we mean that it will be great
saving of time and money to the far
mer to drag the road even at his own
expense rather than to try to travel
over the road in their present condi-
tion. We hope the farmers throughout
county will give the split log drag i
thorough test at this time. It has been
several years since we have had the
roads in their present condition.
We would be glad to hear from Mr.
J. W. Scott as to the condition the
road he has been dragging since it
was put in good condition. Mr.. G. H.
Shannon promised Us some time ago
to try the cpli: log drag on the ROAD
around by his beautiful country home.

results Of the drag on this road also,

We hope that the teachers and trus-
tees who were at the teachers meeting
on Saturday will talk about what Miss
Russell said and let the others who
were not present get some idea of the
work and that as result every school
district will organize school improve
ment association and get together to
improve the condition Of the school in
the district. 1t would take but very
little effort and very little money and
every school in the county could be
greatly improved and after it is done
all interested would wonder why it
was not done long ago.
At the next meeting in February We
are going to have the subject of school
Improvement as the main subject for
discussion and we hope to see all the
teachers present and many more of
the trustees. It will take a. pull all
together and a strong pull, but We can
make the schools of NeWberry county
the best in the State. Why not do it?
We have the money and we believe
we have the county pride and then it
would be of such lasting benefit to
the children of the county, and we owe
it to them.

pOLITENESS IN OUR SCHOOLS.

The city of Cleveland has taken a
leaf from the academic notebook OF
Chicago and has elected woman su-
perintendent of schools. Miss Har-
riet Keeler, the new superintendent,
is a woman of high literary attainment
and for SO years has been associated
with school work; she must know
something about education. Miss Keel
er has hobby that she wishes to see
tried out in the school and it will in
terest the people of the whole coun-
try-it is that politeness should be
taught in every grade.
Miss Keeler is in favor of devoting
a short time in each grade to prac-
tical illustration of politeness in
everyday life. This idea is so natur-
al and yet so new that its very men
ton wins favor. Some pupils may
have home advantages that make the
teaching Of politeness unnecessary,
but the great bulk Of our school chill
dren could profit by such a course.
Examples Of correct conduct on the
street, in travelling and In being
thoughtful and censiderate Of other
PEOPLES feelings, will be important
aids to character building, and the in
fuence through life should make this
work of ours little more sunny
Boston Globe.
We talk about corn clubs and toma-
to clubs and all sorts of practical
things for our schools, and they
are all right in their place, and
should have a place in our
schools, but just as important
if not a little more so, is this thing
of which Miss Peeler is an advocate,
and it is a capital idea to have it
taught in the schools. It should be
part of the curriculum. It this thing
of politeness were properly inculcated
and instilled in the youth in school, as
is said, this world would be a great
deal more sunny than it is, and you
know that the parents of this day have
not time to teach their children even
a very little at home. It must all be
done at the school. 1t IS unfortunate
that it is so, but it is. And it is un-
fortunately true that great many OF
the young and old of this day have
not a proper conception of the true
meaning of courtesy and po}iteness.
