A NOVEL FEATURE.
Ne Collateral Required From the
Banks For the $SO,OOO,OOO 1t Is
Proposed to Deposit.
Wall Street Journal.

Wall Street Journal.
If the secretary of the treasury
places $50, 900, 900 gold in the federal
reserve banks of Richmond, Atlanta
and Dallas for the purpose of facili-
tating the carrying of cotton, the op-
Grafton will present one novel feature
in treasury operation. Heretofore when
the treasury deposited funds in the ma
tional banks for crop moving purposes,
the latter were required to put up col
lateral, in the shape of bonds, although
two years ago proportion of COM
merciaI paper was accepted In the
present case no collateral is required
against deposit of government funds
in the reserve banks.
1t must not be thought that this
$3O,000,000 deposit will be the extent
Of the benefit accruing to the cotton
community from the operation. It
forms basis for considerable larger
amount of credit.
On the basis Of a 35 per cent re-
serve which the federal reserve banks
have to hold against all deposits, this
means additional credit to She extent
OF &55,70o, 600. But th: sum may again
be used. as the basis of additional
credit among the member banks, so it
is impossible to state just what the
aggregate credit structure built upon
the original gold deposit with the fed
eral reserve banks might amount to.
The extent OF the relief, however, will,
in She opinion Of bankers, be ample to
meet any difficulties that!may arise on
account of the war.

To the Editor:
May 1 ask seven questions for the
consideration of the voters in your
county?
Why is the Flying Squadron in South
Carolina?
Why are paid speakers Of the Anti
Saloon league from Indiana and Ohio
imported into this State for the pur-
pose of trying to dictate their ideas
of the best form Of government for
South Carolina and South Carolinians
Why are ex-gorernors and reputed
leaders of Indiana and Ohio attempt
ing to thrust upon our State system
of government which they have never
been able to pass in their own COM
monWealths?
Why have not these alleged leaders
of public opinion in Indiana and Ohio
first cleaned up their own States and
placed their own houses in order?"
Why are these paid speakers plead
ing for Statewide prohibition in South
Carolina, while their own States enjoy
the Democratic privileges Of local op-
ton?
Why do not these paid outsiders
practice in their own home States what
they are now preaching as the only
safe policy for South Carolina to
adopt?
Did Indiana or Ohio speakers ever
come to our assistance during the dark
days of 1868 to 1876, or were We left
during that most critical period to
work out our own salvation?
These are some question which re-
spectfully ask of all true South Caro-
linians. Answers on both sides will
be grateful received and keenly ap-
preciated not only by myself, but by
many other Democrats who believe
that South Carolina is easily able and
competent to settle her own affairs
without outside interference.

The name John is one of our best,
also one of our Oldest. It is found
in nearly all languages, and no matter
how disguised, from Juan to Johannes,
it is almost certain to be Identified.
The Johns have a magnificent family
tree. 1t is instructive to trace the
genealogy. There was an apostle
named John, and also John the Bap-
tist. There have beeno22 popes and
one anti-pope by the name of John.
Three kings of Aragon and CASTLE, one
at least of Bohemia, numbers Of Port
ugal, France and England have borne
the name of John. There was John
Sobieski, the greatest of the Poles"
There was John, surnamed Lakeland
who was forced to sign the Magma
Charta There was John the Good.
Running down the famous list we find
also John the Fortunate, John the per-
feet, John the Fearless, John the Con-
slant. Was there ever an iignobls
John?
Then there was Jack of the Beaa
Stalk fame; also Little John, who was
not lite, bat who, on the contrary,
was tall and strong and who was one
of the most impudent followers OF
Robin Hood. If old King SoAn-agnEs
England the Magma ChartS Soha
Hancock helped to give US our Dec
laration Of independence. If John OF
Poland distinguished himself on OLD
battle fields, Sir John French bears up
the name today. II the hist historical a9d
symbolical Johns seem. too n9En lsE esoaQHs.
we might add JeAn Rock Roekefeller fFl anld
John Condor. And how about John
Doe?

l read in some paper the other day
that the people of Concord, y. c., had
gotten up petition to request that the
Leo Frank pictures about which |
wrote in one. of my article that saw
advertised in the Columbia papers, and
that | heard was ad ertised in Spar
tanburg, should not be put on in that
town. We'll, l want to commend the
good people of Concord even if they
never hear of my commentator. 1t
shows that at least in some communi-
ties there is still left some of the right
spirit. Moving pictures are great ed
ucators, and if the right kind are put
on the board they educate in the right
direction, and, on the contrary, if the
right kind are not put on the board
they educate in the wrong direction.
That's the whole story. Here is what
tIlS CudI IOIIS OUSCl ECL w ocls
about the Frank pictures and the ac-
ton of the Civic league of Concord:
The Frank Pictures.
There was no legal objection to
showing the Leo Frank pictures in q
moving picture show. The effect was
simply to pander to the morbid spirit
of the public, but the moral tendency
upon the juvenile mind was in dis
tinctly bad direction The Civic league
of Concord will get the appreciation of
the thinking public in its successful
protest against the production of the
Frank pictures in that town. This ac-
ton showed a due sense of regard for
the social reputation of the people Of
Concord and it was a fine exhibition
of keen discernment of the proprie-
ties.

BY the way, here is another little
paragraph that l read somewhere a
little while ago, and as my sermon is
to be made up of short sermons by
others, 1 am going to pass this one Oil
to you With brief comment:
Every community is cursed by a
class of people who make it their bus
mess tc attend to eTerybody's business
but their own. Such people are the
meanest specimens of depraved hu-
manity which an all-wise Providence
permits to exist On this green EARTH y
An all-wise Providence permits such
people to live longer as rule than
those who attend to their own busi-
ness, and eor a wise and merciful pur-
pcse. One IS He wants to give them
time to lock after their own little af-
fairs. and to hsve opportunity to put
their house in order for the final day
when they Will have to give an ac-
count. @, les. We have them here. |
have heard CT them. They frequently
attend to my BUSINESS and it gives me
time for recreation. I love them and
| pity thea. They are sort of good
ratured, good forncthing kind of hu-
man beings, and I reckon must be here
for a purpose, because the all-wise
Creator does not do anything without
a purpose, and some time somewhere
it may be revealed for what purpose
tLey were c.eatet, and permitted to
live so ..one.

ENGINEER SCALES DETAILED
BY Federal Government to Make Sur
very, of Appalachian Highway
Expected to Arrive Soon.

The editor of The Herald and News
has received the following telegram
from Col. Watson in regard to the en-
gineer to go over the Appalachian
highway. We called Col. Watson on
Tuesday on phone and asked him to
advise US when the engineer could be
expected, and told him it was import
ant to the successful work on this road
that the engineer get here before the
18th, as all arrangements had been
made to begin work on that day, and
if the engineer failed to appear accord
ing to agreement it might have the eff
feet of chilling the enthusiasm.

And is our intelligence end our will

live with an ache and die with grunt?
Every trouble inflicted upon US is
for our own ultimate good, and they
are infnitesimal when compared with
the joys of a bright mind, clear con-
science and a determination to reap
to the fullest of life's blessings.
If the road is dark to some, it is
because they do not use the brains

It's Up to Us.

Ia paragraph is fitting around in the
press to the effect that "the future may
be bright for some, but the road will
always be dark for Others"
OF course some pessimist wrote it,
for pessimists always mill around in
the shadows.
AS a matter of hard fact, this world
is always just about what we choose
to make it.
If we pull long face and go out
hunting for troubles, We will find them
in punches.
If We saddle ourselves with a case
of the blues in the morning and hang
onto it with death grip all day, and
take it to bed with US at night, we
probably find life's pathway shrouded
in gloom.
But it will be gloom of our OWL
making, and we will be getting only
that which we sought.
But how different is the other side
God inhicts us with certain trou-
bles, but He also gives US brains, and
determination, and will power with
which to rise above the petty perpex-
tiles and tribulations of life.
The bright side of existence is all
around us-in front of us-e7erywhere
We turn-constantly knocking for ad-
mission.
It is ours for the taking.

TWO CENT FIGURES
Railroads Hit Two Ways by Re-

Have to Handle More Business
With Less Revenue.

Chicago, Ill, July S.-What rail-
ways of the southwest have sustained
in financial losses in passenger traf-
fic, due to reductions of fares to two
cents a mile in 1907, was submitted
in evidence before the interstate com
merce commission today by H. II
Butler, assistant general passenger
agent of the Missouri Pacific railway
Mr. Butler testified on behalf of
the forty-six western railroads in their
petition for approval of higher pas
senger fares. His testimony had par
ticular reference to conditions in the
southwest.
Comparing 1907, the last year un-
der three cent fares with 1914, the
last under the two cent fare he said,
the Missouri Pacific suffered a de-
crease in passenger revenue of 2S
per cent in the same time the num-
Der of passengers increased 81 per
cent.
The comparison is striking proof
of how the Missouri Pacific was hand
ling more business for less money, al
though expenses due to wage in
creases, etc, have mounted more than
a pace with the growth in business"

Many Miraculous Escapes From

Seven Known Killed; Others
Missing; Towns Wrecked.

st. Louis, July S.-A small funnel
shaped cloud with a whirling tail,
which hovered over eastern Missouri
yesterday afternoon, broke about 4
o'clock and let loose a tornado which
in hundred mile leaps swept over
parts of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and
into Ohio, leaving death and devasta-
ton in its wake.
Early today the list of known dead
in Missouri included three women,
three children and a man. The in
jured numbered several score and
three persons were missing and the
damage to property and crops was
estimated at between 100000 and
S1,OOO,O00.
Almost miraculous were the escapes
from death of many persons. In
deed one of the most rema rka bile
features of the tornado was the small
ratlo OF the number of deaths to the
nature of the property damage.
