Millions for the Farmers.

John Shelton Williams, comp
troller of the currency, at Wash
ington. has estimated that about
$500. 900. 900 in national banks
throughout the United States is
now available for farm mortgage
loans under the provisions of the
Federal Reserve Act. making it
possible for national banking as
sociations to lend money on i'm
proved farm lands.
Scores of inquiries have been
sent the treasury department
concerning this provision, and
there does not seem to be a gen.
eral understanding that the farm
loan clause of the act is now in
force, making it possible for ma
tional banks to make farm loans
before the formal organization
of the Federal reserve board.
The estimate of Comptroller
Williams is based on reports
showing the capital stock and
surplus of the national banks to
be 81, TIT, 900, 600. Twenty-Five
per cent. of this amount, $444, :
600, 900; is available for farm
loans. Furthermore, the Fed
eral reserve act provides that
national banks may grant farm
loans up to 3S 1-3 per cent. of
their time deposits

Compare Rolls With Poll List.

1t has been suggested to the
proper authorities that they go
over the club roll books and COM
pare the names enrolled to those
intending to vote with the poll
tax list and all those found not
to be paying poll tax be reported
to the sheriff. and he issue tax
executions for every one. 1t is
understood that. this will be done
before election and no doubt will
result in a good many paying
poll tax who would otherwise be
overlooked.

NO ENCAMPMENT IN SIGHT
FOR STATE MILlTlAMEN

After all. it seems now that
the South Carolina militia will
not be permitted to take part in
the camp manoeuvres to be held
at Augusta, Ga, this summer.
A press dispatch Saturday from
Washington said that the invita-
tion extended by the War De-
partment to Governor Blease of
South Carolina to have the or
ganized militia of that State par
ticipate in the manoeuvres to be
held in Augusta next month. had
been withdrawn because of the
failure of the South Carolina
militia to meet the requirements
of the Dick militia law as con-
strued by the law officers of the
department.
The attention of Gov. Blease
some months ago was called by
the war department to the short
comings of the South Carolina
militia in the mstter of missing
equipment and shortage of men
in the various grades. The re-
suit was some spirited cores
pondence between the Governor
and the Secretary of War. Final
ly Governor Blease undertook to
meet the requirements of the de-
partment.
Trouble later arose between
the Governor and the Secretary
of War over the location of the
proposed joint encampment on
the Isle of Palms, South Caro-
lima. Secretary Garrison finally
pre-emptorily transferred this
camp to Augusta, Ga. Since
then reports from the inspection
officers of the War Department
have disclosed the fact that the
South Carolina militia still is de-
ficient in the various matters
complained of originally and Sec
retary Garrison therefore has
felt obliged to withdraw the De.
partment's invitation to partici-
pate in the manoeuvre camp to
be held in Augusta.
So far South Carolina is the
only Southern State winch will
be excluded from the manoeu-
vres on this account.

Mr.. W. F. Stevenson, Candidate
For Congress.
(Political Advertisement !

Political ADVERTISEMENT
Will he be a man of influence
if elected?
We can only Judge of the
future by the past. He has
been classed by the people not
favorable to him as the most
influential man in the House at
Columbia. Will he not measure
up to that in Washington?
The Yorkville Enquirer, the
strongest paper ia its section,
published in his opponents home
town. said of him in February,
1912:
Il was impressed with the
veneration and confidence
with which the members
looked up to this Mr.. Steven
son. | gathered that when
man had a bill that he
wanted to get through he
applied to Stevenson and ii
Stevenson promised mis- help
it was alright. "
So he seems to be a practical
man who can deal with his fellow
members so as to inspire them
win confidence and accomplish
his purposes. He is sometimes
modest and on the occasion Of
the above editorial he modestly
disclaimed such wide influence
and thought it was a reflection
on the House to attribute such
power to one man. One of the
daily newspapers editorially re-
marked as to this episode:
Mr.. Stevenson's position
in the House of Representa-
tives is no more and no less
than will be that of every
man of conspicuous native
ability fortified by education
and industry. He is a leader
because he leads. Without
setting him up as the fore
most man of all the world
or of the South Carolina
General Assembly for that
matter. it is the simple truth
that he has few equals in
that body and if he is big
force in South Carolina legis-
lation, the explanation is
that the momentum of
brains and training counts.
Any man of w. F. Steven
sons equipment would have
recognition in any legisla-
tive body be it the Congress
of the United States or any
other assemblage in which
he may be placed. "
Why not give him the chance
to become such leader in Con-
gress? Alabama has first had
the leadership, North Carolina
is now taking it in the House
and already has it in the Senate.
Why can't the State of Calhoun,
Hayne and McDuffie have it?
Give him a trial.
Watch the Stevenson column.

Murder and Suicide.

Ernest Sheely, a negro living
on the plantation of Mr.. J. A.
Barber. in Catawba township.
Killed his wife last Wednesday
night, set his house on fire and
blew out his own brains with q
shotgun. That was the appear
ance of things when the manager
OF the farm was attracted to the
place by the burning building.
Both bodies were lying where
they had fallen, and there was
no evidence to Indicate any
other theory than the one stated
the two had ouarreled bitterly
during Wednesday morning. and
1t is thought that the killing was
the outcome of that quarrel.

Must Pay Up by Tuesday.

All fees due on the Federal
income tax must be paid by
those falling under the provision
of the law on or before next
Tuesday. June 80.
No extension of time is al
lowed on sending in the tax
itself, as was the case with
respect to the returns. Those
who fail to remit by June 80 will
have notices sent to them re-
minding them of the amount of
the remittance which they will
have to make. this allowing them
10 days longer. At the eXpira-
ton of that time. if the remit
tance has not been received, a
fine of five per cent of the
amount of the entire tax will be
levied. For each month after
the time the tax is overdue, an
additional fine of one per cent
for each month will be charged.
The income tax is a new
method adopted by the Federal
Government for raising revenue,
though the corporation tax is an
old requirement on the part of
concerns doing business in the
country. Both must be paid
this year, however, and all must
be in the hands of the collectors
by June 80. or the fine will be
imposed.

Reason McLaurin Quit?

1t is well known that there
has been 4 break between Sena-
tor McLaurin and Gov. Blease.
McLaurin hoped to get the leader
ship Of the Blease forces in the
State, and had the promise Of
the endorsement of the Blease
leaders, but he discovered that
he was not being given a square
deal; that Blease was en-
couraging the other candidates
for governor the same way. On
account of this duplicity, Senator
McLaurin is reported to have
invited Gov. Blease to go to the
same place that Mr.. Coleman
did. Pee Dee Daily.

Several weeks remain in which
you may enroll as a member of a
Democratic club. The books of
enrolment will not close until
the last Tuesday in July. But
despite the fact that you have
plenty Of time, it is a wise thing
to enroll now. To put it off
from time to time may result in
your failure to enroll, and there
fore your loss of the privilege of
casting a ballot in the primary.
You must go personally to the
place of enrolment and put your
