4 GOOG THING.

A banker recently suggested to
the Ledger the possibilities attend
ing the growth of Gafney if the
property holders of this twon should
form a building and loan association
which would lend money at per
cent There are hundreds Of men
living in Ganney who, if they could
borrow as much as $4,000 or more
a. 6 per cent. wosld ter down their
present home and build finer dwell
ings. We believe half million dol
lars a year would be invested IN
building up Gaffney in this way
alone if a man could get money at
6 per cent. The excessive rate OF
interest allowed by law in this
State. together with the trimmings
tackled On by the money lenders
make investments in real estate al
most proaibitive. One cannot af-
ford to borrow money because it
takes all he can make, and some
times more, to pay the interest,
therefore the borrower not only runs
all the risk but does all the work
and all the profits go to the lender
Gaffney Ledger.
The editor of The Herald and News
has been talking with a banker in New
berry along the same line, The matter
has been under consideration for some
time. This banker promises to take
the lead in the organization of purely
building and loan association in New
berry. One that Will lend money 10
those wao desire to own their own
BONES in preference to any other party
and that will lend it at he rate not ex-
ceeding 6 per cent.
The purpose Of such an institution
would be to encourage home owning.
If some industrious young man, who
is honest, desires a home Of his own,
it should be the purpose Of such an
institution to buy it outright for him
and encourage him to pay for it at
a low rate Of inerest with the money
that he would otherwise pay in rent.
In connection with it, as human life is
always uncertain, he might take out
life insurance policy so that in the
event of his death his family would
have a home unencumbered. Such a
building and loan should be perpetual
and permit anyone to take out stock
at any time. With the right man be-
bind it such an institution would do
great deal to build up the community
and at the same time assist deserving
men with small means to become home
owners. We hope to see the organiza-
ton started in Newberry at once.

Lincoln went from it's Red Room to his assassination at Ford theatre; Garfield was carried un- conscious to it's shelter where he lin gered in pain from the assasstn's bull let many weeks before he died. The greatest statesmen of the world have assembled here to discuss the desti- nies of governments and nations dts magnificent ballroom has been the scene of functions whose splendor has rivaled those of the most sumptuous of Oriental courts.

One hundred years ago today the President palace at Washington, was g11tted by fire, and from this event it became universally known as the White House. 1t was at the time Of the War of 1872. In the flick ering light of burning Washington the scarlet-coated figures of the incendia,- rfes, the soldiers of the British King, were to be seen rioting in the streets of the city they had captured after President Madison and his cabinet and most of the citizens had fled at their approach. In the general flight, Dolly Madison. the Presidents wife, fingered long enough to cut George Washing ton's portrait from it's frame and car ry it off to safety. It is related that the Presidents dinner was still steam ing on the table when the British called. In the light cast by the burn ing Capitol, the Treasury building, the Arsenal and 1000 volumes contained in the Congressional Library, the troopers rushed to the palace" Some seized flaming brands from a burning saloon and thrust them into the dra- peries Of the Presidents house. Mir TOTS, furniture and bric-a-brac were smashed, while the flames burned un- til they had gutted the interior and scorched the exterior. WheP thet pal ace was repaired the fire marks were. obliterated on the outside with white paint. This it is said, is the way in which the building became known as
 he White House.

WHY POPE PLUS WAS LOVED

It is very frequently the case, when man climbs from lowly origin to some position of high, authority and dignity, that he forgets the steps by for the poor and struggling. He as sumes that because he was able to rise, others are at fault if they do not also succeed, forgetting that most people have not the endowments of power and force which permitted him to climb.
 The sorrow manifested at the death of Pope Plus x is not limitedSto those of his own religious faith. Anyone who will scan the history of his life can see here the record of a sing ularly fine character. Born in a family of eight children, who were raised on a wage of $1.75 a week, he knew all the grind of poverty His life in the splendor of the Vatican was made simple and informal, so far as he could escape from the machin- cry of 9. great position, as it had been in the hills of Treviso.
 Any great church acquires it's mag nificence. Perhaps it needs it, for the assertion of it's dignity and inn portance. But too often these ex- terior trappings tend to remove the ] ministers of the gospel from the sim pie people of. every day life. It was the distinction of Plus. that up tc the limit of his ability, and so lone as he could. he answered personally all letters and appeals for help, and made it a point to see whoever wish
 ed to see him.

As special counsel in the tobacco trust case he differed from Attorney General Wickersham as to McReynolds contended in the tobacco trust case and has since applied the same thory as attorney general that in any dissolution proceeding the con stituent parts of the trust should be disposed of independent sharehold- CTS.

MAYOR WILSON AS
 OTHERS SEE HIM
(New Haven Union)

(New Haven -Union)
 The Hartford Courant picked the same flaw in the address of Mayor Wilson to his Republican brethren in Bridgeport that was alluded to by The Union. namely. that Mayor Will son should not have put all the re- sponsibility for state expenditures on the Democrats. Hear the Courant: Frankly, we cannot agree altogether with the mayor in his opinion that all the extravagance of recent years agement.'
 But Mayor Wilson. wild undoubt- edly in his anxiety to have guberna- torial lightning land somewhere near his rod. was not sparing or choice in his outburst of hypocriticaI denun- citation of alleged state expenditure extravagance, and saddling upon Gov. Baldwin and the Democrats of the |Connecticut General Assemblies of re- cent years the entire responsibility therefor.
 And to the right of him. while he was thus foolishly. arrogant1y TO- financing on state expenditures. as we'll as to the left of him and all about him, were seated Republicans who assisted vigt.ously in endorsing all the legislation that necessitated these expenditures
 Bridgeport's mayor. so keenIy ap prehensive in impartial1y cr1ticising those who may have aided in bur dening the state with debt, might have selected a few names of the distinguished Republicans who were listening to him then. and tell them in plain language that they were equally guilty of alleged mismanage- ment of state finances.
 But that would have been party treason. and the mayor could not in- duIge in such oratoricaI pastirne with the gubernatoriaI prize dangling in front of him. It wouldn't do to speak the truth like man and say to his Republican audience that the Republican party was not altogether free from criticism on this score. Such a declaration, while in the di- rect line of truth, would have of tended his Republican friends whose votes may land him at the. head of the state ticket.
 And Mayos Wilson. under the in- spir1ng direction of the Hon. John T. King. will do his best to secure the gubernatoria1 nomination. The leaders are today trying to fix 1 it for him. innocent as they prefer to be of any desire to influence or manipulate that nomination. Does any one entertain the thought for moment that Chairman Rora- lback. Johp King. Col, Robert o. Eaton and leaders of their keen per ceptibility will permit that guberna- torial nomination to go bell-ringing around the states seeking some poor lonely. deserted patch in the political woods of Connecticut where the hum ble citizen can fasten to it?
