people of South - DINA and 1 again
consecrate myself with all the energy

To my friends, to the men and wo-
men all over South Carolina, extend
my profound gratitude and thanks.
Without regard to personal preference

The First Money.
Richard I. Manning.

Money is mentioned as medium Of
exchange in Genesis. chapter %, and
is supposed to refer to time as far
back as 1900 B. C. The coinage OF
money is ascribed to the Lydians. a
people Of Asia Minor. 1t is. Of course.
quite impossible to fix any definite
date for the first coinage. Long before
any one thought to coin money it was
made out of any durable substance
that came to hand. such as leather
iron, tin. bronze and even the hard
bark of the trees and stones Of the
fields. The Hollander. so late as the
middle Of the sixteenth century. made
money of pasteboard. In fact. pretty
nearly everything in the shade of last
ing material has at one time OF an.
other been used as the medium of trade
known as money.

Oriqinal Sea Serpents.

The National museum at Washington
contains a notable display Of the bones
of several species of extinct mammals
which if seen alive in the ocean would
be called huge sea sorpents. They
were carnivorous. and their long. slen-
der jaws were armed with formidable
teeth. Although few remaining indi-
viduals of the group may have given
actual basis for the sea serpent stories,
these extinct animals were not reptiles.
but mammals which. like the whale
and seal and otter, had happened to
evolve in an aquatic environment

OLD FREIGHT CARS.
What They Endure Before They Are
Sent to the Scrap Pile.

An average freight car costs about
$3.50. but the refrigerator and SpeciaI
cars built for CARRYING reriShable
goods may cost tv-o ol three times
that amount. The average freight car
weighs about 2S.000 pounds and has a
carrying capacity OF 63.0u0 pounds OF
freight
There has never been a time when
the companies had enough freight cars.
to meet the heavy demands Of trade
in seasons of unusual pres Gritty, and.
though thousands of new cars are
built every year. car ta:!ineS occur
every time the seasons crops are
ready to be moved The number Of
freight cars that are scrapped each
year almost keeps pace with the mum
Der of new ones built.
The scrapping Of a freight car IS one
of the fine arts Of efficient railroading.
A car may go to the repair shop half a
dozen times before it IS ready for the
scrap pile. Not until the trucks are
practically worn out so they cannot be
renewed has the railway wanderer
passed beyond its life Of usefulness.
Even then every part Of the ironwork
is recovered. and such parts that are
still useful go into other cars, before
they are finally scrapped.

Il ls Called the Most Romantic High
way In the World.
Every one who has seen it will agree
with the New York Sun that the Grand
Trunk road of India is by all means
the most romantic highway in the
world. That paper says Of it:
A stately avenue Of three roads in
one-the center of hard metal. the
roads on each side ankle deep in sill
yery dust-fringed by double rows OF
trees. it runs for 1.400 miles through
the vast northern plain that skirts the
Himalayas. from Calcutta to far Pesha-
war, which keeps sentinel at the gate
Of AfghaniStan.
From horizon to horizon it stretches
like a broad white ribbon. as straight
as if traced by a gigantic ruler, AND
dotted along the entire length are nun

and goats. and its central well of spar
king water.
For 5000 years the Himalayas have
looked down on this road and have
seen it as they see it today. 1t has
seen hundred generations Of men
come and 20. score of dynasties rise
and fall. And yet today it is to the
eve exactly the same as in the long
gone time when Nineveh was proud

Tne price of cotton. We are in the

To the People OF South Carolina:

To the People OF South Carolina:
Our victory is a victory for the
constitution and for law and order
At such a time a sense of profound
gratitude to Almighty God fills our
hearts. The principles that were at
stake in this election stirred our peo-
pie to their foundation. Without con-
sideration of personal preference, the
law abiding men and women of South
Carolina rallied to the cause, in the
face of lead which was tremendous,
and fought for the principles they
knew were right and the homes they
love. The result is victory OF the
people in support Of the constitution
and in the enforcement Of law. It
once more proves that when the peo'
pie of South Carolina are brought
face to face with a crisis which they
see and understand and which in
7clyes the fundamentals of our liber-
ty, they choose the right course and
stand true to South Carolina.

and strife are allayed and as citizens
of one State and as brethren in
common cause, we must unite in the

sums. so tremendous that the mind
can hardly take it in, we're not paid IN
money, but in the way of a credit in
the purchase of supplies in this corn-
trv. The trade balances are no LONGER
settled in gold, but in credits based on
products. If this be true, then the
United States has made herself party
to the European imitation caused by
the war.
There is a time coming, a long
wavs off, when, just as has occurred
after every war in history, there will
be an effort to reduce an inflated cur
rency, and prices of products will go
down lower and lower until the bot
tom is reach ID. But until that time
comes the trend of prices for prod
ucts is upward, because products will
grow dearer as money and credit gro"
eheaper. The general public has y
dim idea Of this technical situation. NO
cotton mill will contract for future
delivery on a basis under 16 cents.
Twenty cents a pound for cotton if the
present crop we're 100000 oales'
would be no more, with the money
situation az 7 have stated, than 10
cents in 1913.
with demand for 1880 900 bales
OF American cotton, and crop which
T do not believe will turn out over H.
900 900 bales, with Europe bare OF
stocks of raw cotton, and its goods
practically consumed, where should
cotton legitimately go when peace
comes? OF one thing 1 am sure; IN
hation of money, easy credit, and the
spirit of feverish speculation will put
cotton as much too high as it has
been too low. Wiping all this out, 1t Is
easy to demonstrate that cotton, COM
pared with everything else, is worth
25 cents a pound today. Here is what
our people should do: Let the .specu-
lators sell the paper cotton. The more
they sell, the higher it will go, when
they run to cover.
"Let the farmer sell as slowly as
nossible, and when the mills demand
the actual cotton on these paper con-
tracts a man can get almost anything
he chooses or asks for spot cotton.
This is the way to recoup the losses OF
the past few years. If we would hold
cotton off the market 10 days it would
eo above 20 cents. Then it would be
lust as easy for it to range from ~
cents upward as from Is cents down.
for nobody will sell cotton under ID
cents, under present conditions, ex-
cont from ignorance. When the Oc-
tober report shows that the crop is
practically gathered, and the snorts
start to cover, there is bound to be ::
stampede. When this is over, the
world must face the inexorable logic
that the price of cotton must go up to
a point where the consumption will
be curtailed. Let any man ask him
Golf the question Where is such a
noint. when war imitation makes mon
ev and credit cheaper and ever cheap
er."
