OPPOSES s,lN PER tENr BILL.

Andrew Hrardrn. one OF the best
.'nOwn farmers OF OrOurr. was il
Wa'Illlla the latter part Of last week
vi. l'rardrm has been very riOSrl !
hnd quite prominently associated
TN political matters in OcOmCc Tor
many years, and he still takes great
n"al OF interest in matters concern
l"g county and state affairs.
Speaking OF the bill recently intro
Nnc"d in the General Assembly OF
this state, by which ii Is sought to
lcducc the legal rate OF interest TO
six per cent. Mr.. Hcardcn stated that
h" is opposed to such n measure at
This time, and he gives as his reason
'nr his opposition the brlicf that il
"nch law is passed. ii will at once
operate to make money very hard to
get by the poor man and the farmer
because the banks, he thinks. will
seek other and more profitable invest
mcnt for their funds. lie thinks that
the day OF six per cent money is not
tar Off by reason Of the inauguration
Of the Federal Land Bank system,
Int until the operation Of this sys-
tenn shall become sufficiently general
10 meet the needs Of the country,
he believes an arbitrary reduction Of
the legal interest rate will work a
hardship to the very class Of people
to whom benefit Is sought to be
brought.
We are in no position to give an
Intclli"cnt expression OF opinion on
the subject. but it seems to us that
there is room for serious consdcra
tion OF the position Mr.. Brardcn
takes. Certainly. a six nrr cent in
'"rcSt rate would work greatly to the
"'vantagc of the whole state if
money could still hc available for the
needs Of agriculture and general bust
ness interests at that rate. The low
crlnE or interest rates. If not attend
ed with restriction OF funds avail
able to those who borrow for business
purposes. would prove the greatest
boon to industry all over our State
that could possibly be given And
we believe the banks OF the state
would make moro money in the loan
channel at sin per cent than they do
now. the increase coming through
the rharncl OF increased business by
reason OF the lowrrin% OF the inter
est rate. Seven and eight per cen;
money in certain lines OF industry
ana business is simply prohihi'iyc.

WAR CLOUDS LOWERING.

Within the past few days the war
clouds have lowered over our country
until to-day We stand in the position
Of nation waiting and Watching for
the breaking OF the storm. though
hoping and trusting that the calam-
itv Will pass over. War, however
brief ii may be. however trivial its
CNt"nd may prove. is nothing short
OF calamity. As nation we have
sought to avoid it. Our President
and the Congress OF the nation have
gone farther even than some OF the
people OF the country have approved
of in their efforts to avert war. There
is a particularly gratifying sen
timcnt all over the country that in
the severance OF diplomatic relations
with Germany, President Wilson has
but adopted the only course LEFT open
to a self-rcspccting nation. And this
opinion is held not alone by our own
people. Mr. Won Bcrnstorff. the rep
rcscntative Of the German govern
mcnt in our country. stated openly
that he saw no other course open to
the United states in the present
crisis.

taken as the last resort in following
a path which led through the devious
by-ways Of "a world afire," there is
hope In the unanimity of the people
OF our country in standing back of
the President and Congress. What
ever our leanings In the matter Of the
European conflict, we are now face to
face with the call Of "Americans for
America" Duty Is the one word
that must and will be paramount in
the present crisis, and there is no
mistaking the tone and tenor Of the
people Of our country. AS our fore
fathers rushed to the fray in the
years gone by to oppose British OPP
preston on our side of the water, so
may the present generation be relied
upon to rally TO the standard OF the
Stars and Stripes to defend, if neceS-
sary, the rights Of the people Of the
United States to traverse the waters
Of the earth without fear OF being
ruthlcssly plunged to their deaths by
any governmental power.
We do not believe the United
States will be largely involved in this
world conflict. Come what may, let
there be nothing to dim the splcndor
Of the one great word "DUTY" that
has ever been the ,2atchword OF our
people.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY MATTEItS.
Prohibition Measures in Scnntc-
Mucl, Additional Money Called For.

Columbia, Feb 6.--fiditOr KCOWcc
Courier: On Monday night, January
23lh. the Senate met and began the
business Of the body in real earnest,
and HE result waS that il soon clear
cd its calendar OF all bills ready for
action. all Of them being OF a purely
local nature. The only measure that
called Tor any kind OF discussion was
Il hill To make ii Il miSdrmcanUr for
one to enter Il hospital and accept its
service with intent to Icirard. This
measure WAS meant to put hospitals
IN the same footing with hotels and
boarding houses. The bill was pass
cd with some minor amendments.
On TucS lay. after the third read
Ing bills, the Senate took up 4 rcsOlu-
'inn to refer to Il vote OF the people
'or decision tn" question of woman
suffrage. The discussion took up the
whole day and then went over for
lurthcr hearing. The resolution was
dci";. cd, although it commanded the
vote of maiority OF the Senate. but
TO submit the question would require
Il two-thirds vote.
After having cast some II ballots
the General Assembly finally elected
Il Mr.. Smith. Of Orangeburg, as
On Tuesday afternoon the Com
Mittcc on Banking and Insurance was
occupied all the afternoon in hear
ing argument on the insurance uues-
ton. and it is now understood that
Dill will be reported to the General
Assembly that will be satisfactory to
all concerned. This matter is one OF
the most important questions which
the Senate has before it, Complaints
come from all over the State Of the
lack OF good insurance.
Thc senate has now before it a bill
creating state Highway Commits
sion. and companion measure which
will place Il State license on all auto
mobiles. This measure is now under
discussion and will be taken up on
Tuesday night.
The prohibition measures are set
down for consideration this week.
There arc two bills pending in the
Senate on this question, one that is
called the "bonc dry" measure. and
the other will. under very stringent
regulations. permit a quart to be
shipped in during a month. Which
one Of these measures will be finally
adopted is very doubtful.
Then will come up the appropria-
llon Dili. ana mere we expect much
sparrinG. The appropriations asked
for this time aggregate more than
$500. .nNn more than ever asked for
before. Most OF these expensive
measures have the influence OF
the Governor behind them. TO raise
the money to meet these demands
nearly every measure imaginable is
being advocated to raise the assess
mcnt OF property. | cannot say now
Just what is going to be the result OF
| all this Schcnling. ! do know that
! there are some members in the Sen
ate who will never give our assent to
