A BAD PRECEDEET.

State Bank Examiner B. J,
Rhame is sending out a Bill that
he is asking the members OF the
general assembly to vote for,
which makes very little change
in the present law, except to
take the appointment out OF She
hands of the governor. The
Bank Examiner had some trou-
BILE shortly after the bank failure
at Lexington, the governor
sought to fire Mr.. Rhame, but
the matter was taken into the
courts and so far nothing has
been done. Mr.. Rhame's term
will soon expire and the present
governor, if the law remains as
it is, will have the naming OF
his successor, we presume it is a
proposition understood, if the
governor has the appointment
of an Examiner, the present
incumbent will not be named,
therefore the legislature is ask
ed to make a law to fit the case
and keep Mr.. Rhame in his job.
We have no reason to oppose

lEe,s1Ar1oH DOES NOT GEL MONEY.

According to some of the
newspapers the currency Act
recently adopted will make it
easier for the farmers to get
fnancia, aid to carry on their
business needs. 1t is our opin
ion the currency Act will not do
all that is claimed for it, those
farmers in position to borrow
money have been able, and will
continue to be able to secure
loans as if there had been no
currency legislation. What
money borrowers want is to find
some way of being able to borrow
at q less cost. Any business
man, whether he be a farmer or
a merchant, can get all the
money he needs from his local
bank if he has the necessary
security, but he must pay for it
at the usual rate, or in other
words. the market price for
money in his locality-this price
varies according to conditions,
but in this State eight per cent
discount is the rule and practice.
and with the new currency Act
in operation it will not likely be
any less. Much of this currency
and farmers credits legislation,
TO our mind is political claptrap,
held out 10 the masses to make
them feel like the negroes IN the
days when the forty acre and a
mule was promised them; they
got the forty acres and the mule
alright enough whenever they
demonstrated their ability to
pay, just so with the present
day legislation, whenever the
farmer or the other business
men demonstrate their ability to
pay, money will be forthcoming.

THE LAW IS GOOD ENOUGH.

The State of Monday in it's
leading editorial, urges the reto-
nation of our primary system,
but it does not give any intima-
ton how it is to be done without
disfranchising a large proper
ton of the white vote. We hard
ly think there are any who OBJ
ject to having the rules OF the
party changed to prevent frauds,
all want the honest expression
of the white vc.ors, but there is
serious objection to hampering
these voters with tantilizlng con-
ditious which IN effect, will dis
courage many from going to the
polls. So far as the use Of mon
ev is concerned, we cannot con-
celve of any law that can be en-
acted which can be stronger
than the present law upon our
statute books; it is in violation
of law now to buy votes, and a
purchasable voter can ply his
trade with a registration certih-
cate as we'll as without one.
1t is our Judgment we have
enough law, what is needed
most is to enforce the law exist
ing, and too. we do think the
legislature should undertake to
make rules to govern political
party, this should be left entire.
ly with the party convention;
that there is looseness and lax
ity in our party rules IS true,
this can be remedied. without
burdening the statute books
with laws that will not be en-
forced.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1914-01-07

seems to us to be establishing .
bad precedent to make a law for
the special benefit OF an indi-
vidual who desires 10 swing on
to q position that he knows he
cannot get under existing Law,
if that is done, there will be re-
quests OF q similar nature for all
offices where the Executive has
the appointment Of. To change
q law there should be a better
reason advanced than the mere
personal side of it.
Mr.. Rhame may or may not
make a good Examiner, We do
not know, and Gov. Blease may
or may not have been to severe on
him when the Lexington bank
failure occurred, but thosep people
who had their money entrusted
to that bank, evidently endorsed
the governors position. and
they certainly felt as if there
was dereliction Of duty
on the part of some Official which
caused them to lose their hard
earnings, and, as it was the duty
of the Bank Examiner to know
the condition OF that bank, steps
should have been taken to warn
the public of the danger.
II the law relating to the
banks OF shis State Was good
enough for 50 many years, the
same Law under which Mr..
Rhame received his commission,
ought to be good now, anless con-
ditions have arisen which make
it necessary to amend the law
for the better security OF deposit
tors, but to change the law
merely to deprive the sppoint.
ing power OF it's present priv.
lege, is not proper legislation in
our opinion, especially: as she
law requires the officer appoint
ed to be recommended by the
State Banking Association.

tors 1t is bad enough, and harmful
but not near so harmful as when a
representative Of the government
makes these harangues; the
sooner the government puts its
seal of disapproval upon the ex-
travagant mouthings Of these
impractical theorist-employees,
the better it will be for both, the
working man and those who pro-
vide honest labor. The govern.
ment noticed aud call down .
bunch of wine-filled officers who
sang an objectioual song at the
Carabus dinner; it can with bet
ter grace and with more good to
result, call down other employ
ees OF the service, by giving them
to understand it is their duty to
prevent rather than to incite
labor troubles.
A large per cent Of she dis.
content and labor troubles this
country is frequently cursed
with, arises out of the speeches
made by those who reach con-
clusions without proper investl-
CATION into the facts. This should
not be in this day when every
man chooses his employment un.
der such arrangements as he
voluntarily makes. he cannot
be forced to work, but when be
does work, his hours Of labor
are fixed by law, and, be really
has better protection from impo'
sition than his employee.

jRLlshED EVERY WEDNESDAY
A MIscHlEvous DOCTRINE.

Among the causes Tor conten-
ton and dissatisfaction between
labor and capital-employee and
employers, are the utterances OF
men who hold government posi-
tions and imagine they must at
tract attention to hold to their
jobs. These people are usually
men who have never had any
practical knowledge Of business
and, if not on mischief bent, the
effect of their murmurings is al
most as bad as that of the an
archist, who incites his hearers
to riot. The most dangerous
kind of a fanatic is the dreamer
who feels he has a mission to
revolutionize for the good OF
humanity, such an one, is more
dangerous than the known asl-
tator Of the professional type--the
former is honest but misguided,
while the latter is not honest
and commentaries his profess
loa. making the cost go to those
he processes to advocate, as we'll
as those he is prosecuting. But
when a man goes forth with the
sanction of the government
preaching doctrines of discon-
tent, his utterances are calcula-
ted to be productive of great
harm, because, it is to be pre-
sumed the government would not
send men out who stir up strife,
but that it will extend its pro-
tecting care around all OF its
citizens of whatever degree or
Calling.
DR.. B. W. Manley, man Of
Southern birth, now in the gov
ernment service: is reported in
newspapers as saying that "men
working in many mills and fac
: tories twelve hours a day are in
worse slavery than were the ne
groes of the South in the days of
slavery" for a Southern.born
man to utter such a statement is
inconceivable, even though he
is employed by the government

AS the time approaches for
the convening of the legislature,
suggestions are made for the
reformation OF the primary sys-
TEN, but none Of the suggestions
we have seen, seem to get at the
kernal of the trouble. All that
is needed, is to require the voter
to cast his vote in the township
in which he resides. Any law
which forces a man to exhibit
his registration certificate in a
primary can only bring about
the disfranchisemenf OF many
voters, and when this is accom-
plished party solidity l3nenaced.
