bers boarded the train when it slow

ence from the domination Of Cole l..
Blease."
The candidate said that at Wal
terboro the governor had declared
himself in favor of impartiality.
"Yet," continued the candidate,

READY TO HELP.
McAdoo Asks Banks Whether They
Want Help for Crop Funds.

Secretary McAdoo mailed letter
Monday to each of the national banks
in the United States asking whether
they believe it will be advisable for
the treasury department to lend a
hand again this year in the move
ment of crops by distributing addi-
tional government deposits.
The secretary asked for an opinion
as to what cities in each State may
be used to the best advantage as cen
ters from which the national banks
may place the money among their
country correspondents and as to the
sort of collateral the bankers regard
as best for the security of govern
ment funds.
while it is expected that the fed
eral reserve banks will begin busi-
ness in time to assist in moving the
crops this fan," the letter concluded,
"the treasury department will never
theless be disposed to help business
to the full extent of its powers
through the proper use of govern
ment funds, if it becomes apparent
that such help is needed in any sec
ton of the country."
Last year Secretary McAdoo de-
posted more than SO. 100000 with
national banks for crop movements
and every cent of the money was
paid back nth interest before April
OF this year.

BABY SLAIN BY BOY.
Lancaster Negro Kills Infant With a
Stick.

News reached Lancaster Tuesday
of the killing Of a negro child by a
small boy in one of the rural districts
of the county Saturday. The child's
mother, it seems, had asked little
negro boy years of age to look after
and amuse her baby while she went
on some errand or to do some work
somewhere short distance from the
house.
The boy replied that he wouldn't
mind the baby but would kill it if
left with him. Thinking that the
youthful picaninny might carry out
his threat of killing her baby if left
to his keeping, the mother locked the
child in room until she could get
back, as she thought. But she had
not been gone long ere she was called
back to view the remains Of her dead
baby, for the little boy, who had been
requested to attend the child during
the mothers absence, had climbed in
at the window, it is said, and with a
stick had beaten the baby to death.
