Russia Aroused By Our Growth
 In Export Trade

ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 1O.-The Russian export chamber has been devoting many of it's semi-weekly meetings to various aspects of trade relations with America. which con tinue to interest Russian industrial and commercial circles. The blow dealt to an expanding trade in which the United States had risen to sec ond place in imports, is reflected in reports to America decreased by D. 000,0O0 troubles or over $l,000.000. The new American tariff is expected to recoup for Russia some of this loss by increased trade in certain articles. such as eggs and wool.
 One the organs of the Russian Ministry of Finance dwells upon the Panama Canals menace to the Russian merchants predominance in Mong--
 tia. Mongolian wool and hides even now largely go to San Francisco by way of Tiens-Tsin. To save this raw material for Russian industries, the ministerial organ advocates that feeders" should be built to the Trans-Siberian Railway. traverslng M,. ngolia to it's main centres. such as Urga, Kobdo and Ulyasutai On the other hand. Russians view favor. ably the development of Siberian anu Manchurian timber exports to meri' ca: hopes also are entertained that Eurcpe may become large consum' CT of Siberian fish. via the Panama Canal. The freight rates via the Suez Canal are prohibitive.. and the Jap anese profits by buying the whole catch at hdiculously low prices.

The board of the faculty of the normal have been bothered fer years with just such cir oumstances and while right steps have been taken from time to time in an attempt to break up the practice 1t has amounted to naught.

The passing of the century mark came wits the recent launching of the Brit.

 The building of l0i dreadnoughts in eigh. years means that an average of m.re than one of these mammoth ships month has been launched. The largest contribution was maie in 1911. when eleven ships cf the dread. nought type were put afloat. includ. ing the four contingent ships of he British program of i909-i0. and the two Dominion battle-cruisers. built by Australia and New Zealand.

THE RURAL POLICE.

We haven't been able to learn yet
what disposition the county delegation
intends to make Of the present very
much disorganizcd and, in some sec
tions, useless rural police systom. To
say the least the system as now con-
sttuted is very unsatisfactory. Some
Of the officers are doing their duty
and some OF them are doing mighty
near nothing, according to all reports.
Unless some more practical plan can
be put into operation, where every
police officer paid by the county will
be forced to earn his salary. then the
whole system should be abolished. Wo
arc quite sure. however, that some
changes could be made in the system
which would produce better results
than those being obtain now.
Some complaint has been made
against ab0llshing the system. For
instance, yesterday we heard gen
willie, where Policeman Lowe and Sui
livan have done good work, say that
it would be great blow to that sec
ton Of the county if the rural police
were done away with. He stated that
the continuation Of the system or
something similar to it Is very ncceS
sary in that section for the prcscrva-
ton OF order.
Our understandings OF the weakness
in the present system lies IN the fact
that the sheriff, who is supposed to
direct the operations Of the policemen,
has no power to enforce his instruc
tionS. largely because the appoint
mcnt Of them lies with the governor.
1t seems as if the only satisfactory
solution of tho situation, other than
doing away with the entire rural po
lice system, would be to change the
Law SO as to allow the sheriff to name
them or provide for their election by
the people In either case they would
then be held responsible for any laXity
in the discharge of their duty by those
who are directly Interested and III Il
position to Judge.
Although there is considerable dis
satisfaction with the present system,
We believe that the people Of the
county would be glad to see the rural
police idea given another trial with
some changes in the law tending to
enforce attention to duty on the part
Of the policemen

WHALEY INVESTIGATION.
Majority Report Read in House. Com
mittec Practically Unanimous for

Washington Jan 2G-Latc this af-

took up the case Of Congressman
Whalcy as reported from Elections
Committee No. |, but the time Of ad-
journmcnt arrived before much more
than a third Of the three hours allOt-
ted for the presentation and discus
sion OF the reports had been consumed.
The case will have the right Of way
tomorrow, when the House rc-asscm-
bles, and will be the first business TAX
en- up. There is little doubt that the
overwhelming majority report Of the
committee in favor Of Mr.. Whaley will
be sustained when the vote is taken.
There we're only about sixty or sew
enty members in their seats this af-
tcrnoon during the proceedings, the
Democrats being somewhat in the ma
jority Chairman Post read the ma
jorty report, and had only a little
more than finished it whcl the ad-
journmcnt hour arrived. While he
was reading there were occasional
laughter at the quotations from the
record of the committee hearings and
the afIdavits, and at the close Mr..
Post was applaudcd by most Of the
Democrats present, and by some OF
the Republicans.

Protection for the Poor Man.

Says the Laurcns Advertiser:
we believe that n majority Of the
voters OF South Carolina desire pri
mary reform of some kind though We
do not believe that any considerable
number Of them will entertain tho
idea OF depriving any portion OF the
white electorate Of their rights in the
government"
The only ones to entertain such an
idea are those who oppose such rca-
sonable restrictions upon voting as
will reduce the danger Of irregularities
and render diucult the perpctuation OF
fraud.
Every time a ballot is cast illegally
some citizen is deprived OF his rights
in the government"
The Advertiser speaks truly when it
says the white people Of South Caro-
lima are opposed to putting the State
government into the hands OF the
property owning classes or the cdu-
Gated classes.
Nobody is urging the enactment OF
legislation which would have this Of
feet
All that is sought is the enactment
Of law which will ensure to every
white man in South Carolina 81 years
Of age or over the privilege Of voting
once and once only.
10 oppose the reasonable safeguards
necessary to accomplish this result is
honesty and tends especially to cut off
from the poor man all hope Of political
advGncemcEt.- News and Courier.

TRADING STAMPS.

1he sumter Waterman and South
ron. Of January 81, contained a warn
ing to Sumter merchants against the
trading stamp evil 1t appears as if
an effort was being made by a trading
stamp concern to gain foothold in
that city. The advice Of The Watch
man and Sputhron is good for Othor
merchants besides those at Sumter, so
The Advertiser publishes it i'm part for
the benefit of local dealers:
If only one or two merchants could
mOnopolize the privilege of giving
trading stamps and premiums in Sum
ter they might obtain an advantage
over the other merchants and thereby
increase their trade They cannot do
this however They may have the eX-
elusive right to give certain kinds Of
trading stamps, or the exclusive right
to give away cortan kinds Of prcmi-
nms, but their competitors will not
sit idly by and permit the trading
stamp merchants to capture their
trade by this mctllod and one and all
will begin giving trading stamps and
premiums and thorc will be race to
SEQ WHO can give the most stamps and
the best q,rcMiumS. The trading
stamp companies will reap a rich har-
vest and the merchants will have ia
work h;b.dar and practice greater econ
omics to pay the tax.
Look 1T it in any ligh, ono may
the trading STAMP game is moor bust
ness and IS a Drctnncc ut giving away
something Tor nothing. The only safe
and SOUND business policy is TO sell
the best merchandise obtainablc at a
legitimate profit and TIE proDle who
buy will find out the place that gives
the best bargain for a dollar"

We're given more liberty of time and
action to think and put into cxacu-

Such an important officer as is the
county supervisor has not the time,
or rather should not be REQUIRED, to
give his attention to so many minor
matters which could be attended to by
men with less responsibility on their
shoulders. OF course privision for

NARROWLY ESCAPED INJURY.
Automobile Party Make Lucky Escape

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Davis, Of
Princeton, and Mr. and Mrs. Thad
Crawford narrowly escaped injury last
Wednesday afternoon, when Mr.. Da-
Wis automobile overturned at Barks-
dales branch, between this city and
Fountain Inn. In some way the car
ran off the bridge and landed in the
water below, throwing all of the oc-
cupants out and pinning Mr.. Davis be-
meath the steering wheel. Fortunate
ly, however, the car settled in such n
position as to protect him from scri-
GUS injury and all escaped unhurt, eX-
copt for bruises and scratches. The
car topplcd over into the water and
all Of the party received a drcnching.
After the party had sufficiently re-
covered from the shock and surprise,
the car was pulled out Of the stream
and driven to Laurens without as
sistance. From here the party con-
tinued to Princeton.

The Rate OF Interest,

With unvarying regularity the Qucs-
ton OF reducing the maximum rate OF
interest bobs up at this season OF the
year. Nobody likes to pay interest, but
as We have to do it, we would prefer
to have the rate as low as possible
But the rate must be high enough to
tempt money out Of its hiding places,
else We shall have no money at all.
There is the problcm-to have the
maximum legal rate low enough not to
be burdcnsome and yet high enough to
make the lender content. 1t is the
natural inclination Of people with
money to lend to put it out at home.
They know conditions thcrc-the val
lie Of the security, the moral charac-
ter of the borrowcr-and they can keep
an eye on both. That Is why men pre-
fer to lend money at home for less
than they could get away from home.
If the banking institutions in South
Carolina possessed sufficient money OF
their own to meet the reasonable needs
ers might safely combine and reduce
the rates from eight to seven or six
per cent. But they lack a great deal
Of having enough money for that pur-
pose. We are in the midst of period
Of great development, and vast quan-
titles of money are necessary If it is
to continue unrctardcd. Can we get
that money elsewhere at a lower rate
Of interest If we can, the rate should
be reduced; but If we cannot 1t had
best be left where it Is, for the devel-
opmcnt Of our resources at this time is
worth great deal moro than eight
per cent to Southern Christian
Advocate.

a special meeting OF the State Board
Of Education was held in Columbia,
December %, for the purpose Of select
ing successors to Messrs W. r. Brad

signed as county supcrintcndents OF
Abbeville and Laurens counties, re-
spoctivcly. Mr.. j. nj. Lawson was
elected county superintendent of Alb

graduate of the University Of South
Carolina, and prominent young at
torncy. was elected to a similar post
in Laurens.
Mr. Bradley has accepted the posi-
ton OF Deputy Collector OF Internal
Revenue, under Hon. ID. G. Hayward.
Mr.. Pitts resignation was prompted
by a desire to devote his entire time
to promising insurance business.
1t is especially significant to note
that the resignation of both Messrs.
Bradley and Pitts is directly attribut-
able to the small salaries paid them
as county superintendent. The in
tccnal revenue department and the in
surance business have each secured a
good man at the expense Of the state
educational system. The loss of these
men should convince the people Of
