A Credit Guide.

Attention is directed to the ad.
ver,isement in this issue of the
Merchants Credit Company. For
more than a week a representative
of this company has been ir Edge
field arranging with the leading
merchants to issue credit guide
The names of all persons who have
accounts with Edgefeld merchants
will be published in a book, and
their standing with reference to
reliability, promptuess in payment,
and how many accounts they owe,
will be given opposite their names.
The honest man gains rather than
loses, by having wider publicity
given to the fact that be is honest
and prompt in meeting his obliga-
tions. 1t is the dishonest man who
will suffer and who should suffer
before he deliberately defrauds
other men who are considerate
enough to extend him credit.
Through this guide the merchants
who are subscribers will know
practically how much every person
owes and too just how prompt he is
in paying accounts at stores. The
plan is a good one. Nobody suffers
but the dishonest man and he should
be exposed. The individual who
will deliberately make accounts at
stores knowing at the time that be
does not intend to pay for the
goods is stealing from the merchant.
1t would not be worse if he went
behind the counter and stole the
goods while the merchants back
was turned. Wonder how many
individuals will be black listed"
as result of the issuing of the
credit guide?

Lawyers and Blind Tigers.

In writing of the blind tiger stu
alton in Spartanburg The Journal
of that city does not mince words.
We are especially interested in the
following:
How is it here in Spartsnhurg?
Public sentiment is not strong
enough to make blind tigers pay
the fines or go to the chaingang.
Here in this city blind tiger may
be as guilty az he can be and it is
certain that ne will continue the
work. There are lawyers, who, by
appeal or otherwise, will have the
sentence held up and the blind tig-
er will give bond aud resume busi-
ness in twenty-four hours. The
lawyer who perverts Justice when
he knows his client is guilty of SELL
ing liquor and who knows that he
will continue the business, is as bad
as the blind tiger.
We certainly agree with The
Journal as to the guilt of the law
yer, who, knowing that blind tig-
er is guilty, peryerts justice to ge.
the tiger freed. We believe that he
is the guiltier of the two, and he is
certainly as low down and deserves
to be olassed with the iawless and
disreputable. We believe that tie
time is coming when it will be i'm
possible to find lawyer who will
take blind tiger case. Very few
of them will do it now, and as a
rule the ones who do have not very
enviable reputation. = Greenwood

A Decision of u. S. Supreme
Court Concerning Overdrafts.

The following is decision that has
been handed down by the United States
supreme court concerning the over
checking of an account with bank:
"a usage to allow customers to over
draw and have their checks and notes
charged up without present funds in
the bank, stripped of all technical dis
guise, the usage and practice, attempt
ed to be sanctioned, is a usage and
practice to missapply the funds of the
bank; and to connive at the withdrawal
of same, without any security. in fa-
vor of certain privileged persons. Such
usage and practice is surely mani
fest departure from the duty, both of
the directors and cashier, and cannot
receive any countenance in a court of
Justice. 1t could not be supported by
any vote of the directors, however for
NAL; and therefore, whenever done by
the cashier, is at his own peril and upon
the responsibility of himself and his
sureties. Itis anything but well and
truly executing his duties as cashier. ;"

Have Returned to China.

After being in the home land for
nearly two years, Rev. and Mrs.
E. L. Snuggs left Monday morning
to resume their missionary work in
Canton, China. Saturday afternoon
from fve-thirty to eight O'Clock the
mem bers of the Baptist church ten
dered them farewell reception.
DR.. NJ. d. Jefries was master of
ceremonies. Appropriate remarks
were made by Rev. Z. q. Bailey,
Rev. J. R. Walker, Rev. ?. r.
Blalock and J. L. Minis, and to
these words of good cheer, encour-
agement and affectionate farewell
Rev. Mr.. Snuggs replied feellngly.
He was 80 completely overcome
with gratitude for the many kind
nesses bestowed upon them by the
people of Edgefeld and 80 greatly
depressed by the thought of soon
parting with their dear children
that it was difficult for him to
speak. More than a score of let
ters containing farewell greetings
from Edgefeld friends were pre-
sented to them with the reque.t
that they be not opened until they
have boarded the ship in New York
harbor. Other letters will be writ
ten before their sailing day ar
rives. The reception was largel yat
tended and was exceedingly pleasant
in spite of the sadness incident to
the going away Of these dear
friends. Delicious punch, ice cream
and cake were served.
Before sailing from New York
some time in May, Rev. and Mrs.
Snuggs will fill several engage
ments in this state and in Ken
lucky, and will spend few
with Mrs. Snuggs' sister in Michi-
gan. They will visit a brother of
MIR. Snuggs on arriving in London.
Their three children, Harold,
Faith and Roland, have been left in
America to be educated. They are
attending the S. G. G. /. at present,
and will probably attend school i'll
Greenwood under the supervision OF
Col. Bailey next year. Rev. and
Mrs. Snuggs have the prayers and
good wishes of hundreds of friends
in Edgeheld and throughout South
Carolina.

Coughs and Consumption.

Coughs and cold when neglected,
always lead to serious trouble of the
lungs. The wisest thing to do when
you have cold that troubles you
is to get bottle of DR.. Kings New

will disappear. o H Brown, Of
