to this appeal the remittances should
aggregate an amount sufficient to
take care Of the states obligations un-
til December /, when another remit
tance will be due. There is not suffi-

Believed in the Bond Issue.
That bond issue proposition was
the most sensible thing that has orig
mated in the general assembly for
years." said a prominent business man
of the western part Of the county to a
of The Enquirer rev
days ago. 1T was perfectly safe, en-
lirely practical and no chance to lose,"
he said. "Of course the bonds would
have been worth 100 cents on the dol
lar, why not? Is the credit Of the en-
tire state Of South Carolina, backed
by the cotton crop as collateral good
for $24,000,000? II not we had better
quit. What the farmer needs now Is
cheaper money on long time loan. The
system of borrowing money from the
banks, discounted at ninety days, is
not going to answer. After farmer
has renewed a note a time or two, and
paid a new discount each time, he be-
gins to get tired and will turn loose
his cotton. II he could arrange to
borrow the money for year 1t would
have been different. l notice that
Great Britain has arranged to carry
the Egyptian crop just as the hackers
Of this bond issue proposition wanted
to carry the South Carolina crop, ana

Great Britain Of doing any fool things
