in amending the law, still we are or the
opinion that the amendment is uncon-
stitutioual in several particulars, nota-
bly, upon the ground that it is local or
special legislation of the most tagrant
kind, it applying only 10 Clarendon
aud to no other County in the State.
AS you we'll know our Constitution pro-
hibits any such legislation, so If there
is any violation of law, who is the
guilty one?
Such being our view we courteously
notified the State Bank Examiner that
We did not propose TO publish our
statements in but one paper, unit! our
Courts made US do so, when we wouio
yield with as good grace as possible.
To be perfectly frank with you. we
further notified him that we did not
think the issue would be raised by you,
and that we much preferred the rails
ing of the issue be left to you as the
only interested person.
In conclusion let us say we are IN
the Banking business and noS tue
newspaper business, and that toe
proper place TO carry any grievanc': OF
YOURS against US is TO the Courts AND
not in your paper. That there is Moth
Jog To get excited or wrought up about

There has been considerable COM

ing several minutes at this picture; the

sport is rising from its winter hidings.
the sight OF fine fish pole equipped

The magistrates in Clarendon desire
to enforce the liquor law, but they are
getting confused since the opinion OF
The attorney general which practically
says an officer cannot seize liquor from
the possession unless the same is for
unlawful use. That the officers caunot
require transportation companies TO ex-
pose their books to show who and when
persons receive liquor. The supreme
court ought to settle this question now.
so the officers will not be in douet as to
their duties. Governor Manning is try
ing TO enforce the law. bu. II the attor-
ney general is right, and his opioi"u Is
an official guide uu,i. .; court passes on
it, we cannot see how it is possible for
the police and Other officers to know
where they are at. We do rot endorse
prohibition, but we want law enforced
because it is law, and when the State
through its legislature has made law
forbidding certain acts. regardless OF
our individual feeling or opinion, we
always try to aid in the enforcement
of the legislative declaration.

National City Bank
Promotes War Credit

Philadelphia, Sept. 9.-Reliable in
formation to-day was that the Nation
al City Bank of New York. the largest
in the country, has within few days
privately submitted to certain iinan-
cial institutions a proposition for $780,
600. 900 in America credits to be used
in covering payments due this country
on the hugely expanding volume of ex-
port trade. Charles V. Rick, vice
president of the bank, came TO Phlla-
delphia in person to present the plan
TO a selected few.
The proposition is for an issue Of Sc
cured notes. Behind them would be
put collateral made up one-third OF
American securities, one-third British
and French obligations, probably Of
government issue, and one-third South
American securities.
Over the telephone an officer of the
National City Bank said that the mat
ter would likely be held as il is until
there has been discussion Of the prob
lem with the Anglo-French commission
which is due TO reach New York to-
morrow.
II is believed the proposed loan GER
tiGcates are intended to be bought by
banks and other financial institutions.
The National City Bank clearly has It
in mind TO put the credit in form TO
UNFOLD and extend our commerce with
South American countries, in two OF
which il has opened branches, as well
as 10 provide credits against which
Great Britain and France cen draw TO
pay for war supplies.
