and watch how not only the stores, the
railroads, banks and every other kind
of business will flourish.
Yes l have watched the progress Of
the debate on this bill with tremendous
nterst; but with faint hope
When Senator Arthur Banks got be-
hind it, knew it had a powerful friend.
Maybe, raAder, you don't know this
Senator Banks; but I know him. He
is a rare, rare, jewel, and there are but
few of his kind. He is worth a quarter
million dollars; but reader, don't be-
come incredulous! He made it himself,
honestly and honorably by the hardest
kind of licks. In all his life he never
soiled his hands with a usurious penny,
and in all South Carolina there is not
a man who has deeper or more abid-
ing love for his State or his fellow man.
1 once read of Senator Banks being
quoted as saying to friend on the
steps Of the State house: "The poor
man does not stand any more chance
here than yellow dog" l had no per-
sonal acquaintance with the senator
then, and as such words are so often
used by demagogues, did not know;
but since then l have seen more of him,
and I have come to know that when
Senator Banks gets behind any kind Of
measure, the bone and slnew and the
real hopes of South Carolina are being
represented.
WE'LL Senator Banks was behind this
measure, and for time it looked as If
t wer going through. The element that
is interested in keeping the poor man
down to his humble work of dltchlng
and the like became truly alarmed. 1t
looked like the rural credits bill was
going through.
But after all, the expected happened.
The senate was really not in favor Of
this thing, any more than it was IN favor
of the warehouse law; but 1t did not
dare kill it openly.
Not long ago I printed an editorial
in which l described newspaper condl-
tions in Lancaster county. There is not
a county in the State in which the farm
ers have suffered more than those OF
Lancaster. They began shortly after
the war raising crops on the rulnlous
lien system, and they kept it up until
dozen of more business men, OF Lam
caster were the holders of nine-tenths OF
the wealth of the county, and a more
truly selfish and narrow crowd I know
nothing about. I told how this crowd
even bought up the newspapers so as
to control the very sources OF 1ntelll-
sence upon which the farmers were de-
pendent for information as to what is
going on in the outside world.
The only dodge by which the rural
credits bill was to be gotten rid of was
by the old commission" dodge like this:
"Wcll, gentlemen. this is tremendously
important 5ill calculated to be of great
service to the State: but we must be
exceedingly careful rot to make any
m: stake, and in oder to be sure that
we got it right, 1 move that we post
poae the wt.oie II irg until next session,
ans appoint commission to study it
in the meantime"

RURAL CREDIT LEGISLATION
STORY OF AN IMPORTANT BILL
THAT WAS LAID on THE SHELF
BY WAY OF COMMISSION ROUTE
Anderson Farmers Tribune

Anderson Farmers Tribune.
Senator Sherard's rural credits bill
has been killed, and 1 am sorry because
it was a good bill, in the interest of the
people, and in the interst of general
prosperity. I hold no brief from Sen
ator Sherard to eulogize this bill, or to
conorrend &li1n for his splendid efforts
IN behalf of it; but I will not allow
Senator Sherard or any other man, even
Governor Manning. to go further in try
ing to promote the real welfare of the
people than l am willing to go. Sen
ator Sherard has made good fight, and
/ take pleasure in conceding the fact.
This rural credits proposition is the
last word in constructive legislation, SO
far as the needs of this country are con-
cerned and every liberal, broadminded,
true hearted man in South Carolina who
will take the trouble to study it, will
give it his support. There can be no
opposition TO it except in the narrow,
selfish interst of skinfints who have
never realized an income except from
the sweat and blood of honest, earnest
and unsuspecting productive labor, and
whose narrow perspective will not en-
able them to see that there is any other
way of getting an income.
No, am not bitter, 1 am not narrow,
and in this l ain not unfairly one-sided.
1t IS true that there are two sides to
every question; but as to this rural
credits question, there is only ore right
side, and that is the side am on.
There are protesting conservatives,
who say that this proposition is radi-
cal, wild and chimerical. OF course
that is not argument and am not
thinking OF trying to answer it with
argument. will answer it in kind by
saving pshaw rats !-rotl I am al
most indignant enough to say damned
lie!"
! In the supreme court room in the
capital one night few weeke ago, l
heard John L. McLaurin make the most
earnest, reasonable and logical spec.
7 ever listened to. Among other things
he said that only 13 per cent OF the
farms of Great Britain were owned by
men who worked them while s. per
cent of the farmers of France and 90
per cent of the farmers of Germany
owned their own farms. That, ne SAID
was the principal reason of the military
strength of Germany compared With
France, and the military strength OF
France as compared with Great Britain.
Brave, intelligent people who own the
soil, love it, and thrice strengthened on
their arms to fight for it. Both Ger
many and France, France following al
ter Germany, have brought about TIM
tremendous proportion of independent
ownership of farms through their sys-
TENS of rural credits Great Britain, re-
living upon navies bought with concen-
trated wealth, and holding in contempt

feeds the idle mouths of the arlstocratlc

classes, has done nothing to uplift and
improve the condition Of her farmers.
That was only a part of what Mr..
McLaurin said In painting his pic
ture he brought in wealth of detailed
facts and figures that held his hearers
spell-bound, and I was in that class. He
carried me into realms where had
Neevr strayed before, and showed me
old truths in a new light AS l was COM
ing to myself 1 felt the same sensation
as when coming out from under the
convincing power of Cyclone Mack,
and as I looked about 1 saw scores Of
others as intent and motionless as if
in a trance. Evidently hey had been
my fellow travellers to the shrine Of
truth, and had not yet found themselves
on their return.
The opposition to rural credits comes
from men who think that the only way
of getting rich is by lending money at
usurious rates of interest and certain
class of little bankers who fear that
rural credits would make money so
cheap that their slaves would quit work
ing and they themselves would have to
do their own grubbing.
I might nave thought that once, but
listen at McLaurin:
':Why, gentlemen, 1 am land poor!
True, 1 paid big price for my land,
and l hold it now at a high valuation,
just like my neighbors around me; but
suppose you would require me to make
the legal rate of interest on whole in
vestment by farming it, how would ]
do it? I cannot do it, nor can any other
large land owner in South Carolina do
it. Why not sell it then? it may be
asked. Who is going to buy it? Who
is able to buy it? There are plenty of
men without either capital or credit who
would like to buy it; but If l cannot
handle suchoa' proposition in way that
will pay interest, how can they handle 1t
so as to pay both principal and inter
est?"
These questions, of course, answer
themselves; but give us a rural credit
system-a system under which funds
may be provided by means Of State
bonds. Put it in the way OF a small
farmer with a little capital to buy
small piece OF land of value proportion
ed to his earning capacity. Let the
man have low rate of interest and
privilege of paying certain fixed pro-
portion of the principal each year for
twenty of thirty years. Let his land be
security for the bonds issued against it,
and there be proper provision for get
ting the payments and see what will hap
pen.
Why, under a system like this, Nc
Laurin's big plantation will be cut up
among hundred small owners, in the
aggregate value of all of those holding
will be increased to twice what McLau-
rim would take for the whole thing
in cash today. Not only would it be
so with McLaurin but it would be so
here in Anderson county and through
out the State.
That is what rural credit means, and
give us small farmers owning their
own farms, instead of hopeless, dis
couraged tenants-hundreds of them
