This negro Prioleau has been
contestiug congressional cleo.
tions for many years with a view
of getting his hands upon the
$4,000 allowed contestants. but
Notwithstanding his contesting
habit we think the Congress will
ignore his claim and send him
back home to Eutawville with
out the money. The Congress
should enact q law for such cases
as this, so that whenever it is
shown a contest is without foun-
dation other than to make claim
for the contest fee, the penalty
should be Imprisonment at hard
labor; were this done Prioleau's
contesting habit would be cured.

conditions in this State, IN order
that our readers may see what
others think:
"The farmers did not expect
to give their cotton for bonds
for investment. There would be
no sense in swapping a 5 per
cent note for 5 per cent bond
on an investment basis. Every
farmer as soon as be got his
bond, would have turned the
bond into money and used the
money with which to pay his
debts. If the bonds had been
queered by litigation to an ex-
tent that would reduce their
market value to a point that
would not admit of an exchange
for cotton at it's market value,
the farmer would not swap his
cotton for bonds. If the farmer
had already swapped his cotton
for bonds, and the bonds de-
clined in value afterward, there
would be nothing to prevent the
farmer from giving up his bonds
and taking back his note and
advanced interest. The State
would not object. It was not
trying to make any money. The
interest on the bond would have
Cancelled heinterest on the note,
and there would be no expense
except warehouse charges and
that expense would have to be
incurred, bonds or no bonds if
the cottou is to be made per-
fectly safe. The only possible
risk or charge that could have
come to the taxpayers would be
the responsibility for the differ
ence the ordinary market price
of cotton and 8 cents, the net
amount taken up by the farmer.
AS soon as cottou should ad-
vance to s cents the response
bility of the general taxpayer
would cease, and every point of
advance beyond 8 cents, would
be that much profit for the farm
er."

According to this friend, it was
not because there was any doubt
about the practicability OF the
plan or of any risk or anything
of that kind. No, not a bit Of
that. It was just plain, every
day selfshness. Two Spartan
burg bankers went before the
committee in advocacy of the
bond bill, but they wanted to
make the committee provide that
the banks should be made the
fiscal agents of the state in the
distribution of the fund. and the
understanding was that if that
proposition was agreed to every
thing would go swimingly. But
members of the committee OBJ
iected to the arrangement on the
ground that this would give the
preference to the customers Of
the banks, while the fellow who
had no bank account and who
did not stand in with the man
agement would not get any

c. c. PARLIN HERE

G. G. Parlin was in the city yester-
day and gave an address before the
high school, He told of the great OPP
portunities for the young people of
the day, saying that although there
were plenty of men 20 fill the ulim-
portant positions, it was especially diff
ficult to procure men of great efficien-
cy and alertness of mind for those at
the top of the ladder. Mr.. Parlin
gave number of examples and then
went on to say that in sales work,
in which he has been engaged the
past year investigating the same,
there was no need for smoking or even
accepting drink. He counselled
against both of these. Drinking would
most probably affect the manager
opinion of his employee, he said
though smoking would not be so seri-
Gus. His address was greatly ap-
preciated as are all of his talks. Mr..
Parlin spends day or SO with
his mother, Mrs. H. B. Parlin, every
few months and when here usually
pays visit to the high school over
which he was it's able principal for
So many years. He departed for his
home in Boston last evening.

time, but sufficient will be secured
to handle all coming and increasing
orders. The STOCK will come from the
quarries of Red Granite, Wis, and
from the town of Stettin, in this
county, the latter being equal to the
celebrated "Parcher Granite in the
