FRED DOMINICK MAKES GOOD.

Anderson Tribune.
On April ?, 1918 page 1925 Of the
Congressional Record, Congressman
Kitchin, Chairman of the Ways anc
Means Committee and the Floor Lead
er of the Democratic party in Con-
gress said:
"Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous con-
sent to reconsider the bill H. R. H.
123, that passed the House on Sat
urday, and to return to that stage III
the procedure of it's passage in the
House Immediately before I made
the motion for the previous question
u make this reuqest for the pur-
pose OF Offering an amendment to
Section 5 of the bill. This section
embraces a provision with respect to
the determination of the value of the
shares of stock of national banks,
State banks, trust companies, and
other banking institutions for the pur-
pose Of State taxation. The commit
tee Of the whole and the House on
Saturday voted against the motion OF
the gentleman from South Carolina
(Mr. Dominick) to strike out section
3 under the firm impression and be-
lief that it exempted from State tax
alton only an amount of value Of the
shares Of stock of the bank equal to
the same proportion Of the value of
the shares as the par amount of any
bonds or other interest bearing OBJ

ed with the gentleman from South
Carolina on his motion to strike out
the section if I had believed it was
fairly reasonable to construe it in
the way in which the gentleman from
South Carolin and other gentlemen
construed it. l assured the House
that that amendment would not bear
that construction and i am certain

In our last issue we made brief an
nouncement that state constaOles
Williams and Samuels in company
with our local officers had raided the
Clyde Steamship Cherokee upon her
arrival in port last Friday morning
and seized quantity of beer and Ii
quor which was found On board the
ship. Inasmuch as the liquor was
claimed by the ship as part of her
stores and for other good and suni-
cieat reasons the liquor was not at
once removed from the ship but put
under lock by the officers and they re-
ported their actions in the matter to
Chief State Constable T. Smyrl at
Columbia, and asked for further in
.struc1ions. Officers Smyrl Immediately
obtained legal advice as to his author

the city. On Saturday Mr.. Smyrl
with the Other officers went on board
the ship and made an inventory Of ali
OF the liquor and beer and then re-
moved it from the ship to the county
Jail. The officers then had warrants
issued against Capt. Frank Mckinnen,
skipper of the ship, T. +. Leach, the
steward, and one against the ship it.

officers was furnished, while certi-
fed check in the sum of $1,000 for the

posted with the magistrate.
Opinion seems to be divided as to
the authority of the officers in seizinc

claiming that the ship had United
States revenue license to sell whiskeS

It was violation to bring whiskey

The widest blooms" in America new
er exceeded that which occurred in
Paris during the early part of the
eighteenth century. 1t was when Laws
mississippi Scheme" reached the
crest in It's meteoric course
In two or three years the manufac-
lures of Paris increased feur-fold. The
population was added to by hundred
thousands. The vast numbers of peo-
pie who came to Paris were forced to
live in garrets, kitchens and stables.
This amazing activity was caused by
anticipations that huge profits would
be derived from trade with the Louisi-
ana province. At the beginning of the
reign of Louis XIV France was in seri-
Gus financial straits owing to the wars
of Louis XIV. Law was a Scottish
financier who submitted to the French
government a tempting plan for reduc-
ing the national debt by systematic
cultivation of commercial relations
with the French territory in North
America.
With the protection of the govern
ment he organized, in 1717, the Com
pagnie d'Occident capitalized at 1O0,-
100000 livres. His company was in
vested with the privilege of trading ex-
clusively with the Province of Louisi-
ana for twenty-five years. The inf1u-
ence of the Compagnie d'Occident over
Louisiana was made so great that it
amounted practically to new govern
ment. In 171S the name Of the COM
pany was changed to the Banque Roy
ale, with the king himself, guaran-
teeing the notes that were issued. In
1719 the company obtained a monopoly
Of trade with the East Indies, China
and the South Seas and was named
the Compagnie des Indies.
BY this time so successful was Law
in arOuSing popular interest that when
$4,000 new shares were offered 100000
applications were made for them. Then
the boom above described reached it's
elimination.
The entire scheme was doomed to
failure. Actual operations had hardly
been started when the government
greatly increased its paper money cir
culation on the strength of this pros
perity. People began to realize that
they were riding on the crest Of q
bubble. The end came swiftly and al
though Law endeavOred to remedy mat
tiers by drastic measures he was forced

"Your scheme is preposrerous in the
extreme. 1t is of so extravagant a
character as to be positively absurd.
Then look at the reckleSSness of your
proceedings! You are proposing to
cut up our estates in all directions for
the purpose of making an unnecessary
road. Do you think for one moment
of the destruction of property in it?'
Such was the comment of one Sir
Ashley Cooper, great Englishman,
on the first railroad that Stephenson
proposed in England!
Other comments of the time are also
interesting. For example, Mr.. Berk-

Messengers of Death.

There are about 200 separate and
distinct kinds of shells fired from Ger
man guns, and each and every one Of
them has been given at least one nick
name by the Tommies, according to
London Tit-Bits. Some of them have
been given several.
The biggest kind of high explosive,
shells, for instance, are known in
differently as DIRTY Dicks" Jack
Johnsons," Goal Boxes" Flower
Potts." "Crumps," "Black Peters" or
"Whistling Willies."
The smaller kind are "Black Ma
rias" or "Woolly Bears" according to
whether the smoke they emit when
bursting is black, or white with yell
lOwish tinge.
High explosive shrapnel and trench
mortar shells are respectively ''whizz-
bangs" and 'pip-squeaks," from their
habit of giving only those warnings Of
their approach. "Archibalds" are anti
aircraft shells. Ordinary shrapnel
projectiles are Little WiIlies."

hered to the old plan of stagecoach.
This occurred during the beginning
of what economists have called the
industrial revolution" At that time
there followed In rapid succession the
invention of many machines, such as
the steam engine, cotton gin, spinning
jenny, and the like. This revolution"
ushered in the highly developed and
organized world we live in today. 1t
enabled Stephenson to bring the first
locomotive to workable stage in 1880.
1t also led to the construction of the
first steamboat in 1907 by Fulton.
These two factors in modern trans
portation have done much for the
world. They have developed contin-
nents, brought the products of distant
lands to your table, knit together ma
tons through exchange with one an
other, and equalized the distribution of
food. This latter is perhaps one of the
most important bOons it has conferred
upon mankind. The fearful famines"
of the past, where millions of people
have persisted through failure of crops
in one district, could have been relieved
if adequate transportation agencies
were in existence and ready to eQ'la-
lie the extremes of plenty and want
maintaining throughout the world.
But the modern transportation sys-
tenn that has relieved famines in In
dia, China, Ireland, and more recently
Belgium, would not be possible If the
millions of dollars required for its
financing were not available. And so
almost simultaneous with the indus
trial revolution people began to save
and invest money. Savings banks were
established and banks multiplied. 1t
is an astonishing fact that previous to
this period and since the time of Rome
the accumulation of capital by indi-
viduals was practically unknown.
Now capital is largely obtained by
Offering bonds for the investment of
the funds of many people. Your city
erects schoolhouses and bridges; your
county builds roads; the country as
whole carries on its share In the pres
ent war-all through bonds.
Just as the funds Of thousands of
investors have made possible the re-
building of American cities, so has
the same principle made possible the
progress and wonders of the twentieth
century.

to fee from Paris and died practically
penniless in a foreign city.
At the same time a similar project
was coming to its end in England. The
South Sea company. formed for the pur-
pose of trading in the South Seas, end
ed with crash when most of the d.
rectorS sold out when the value of their
shares had been stimulated to reach
1000.
These early attempts at large scale
business organization ushered in the
modern type of corporation. brief
sketch of how our present complex
business organization evolved should
be interesting to the readers OF this
series, for the greater proportion OF
banking is inseparably linked with
business. Many of the investment
bonds on the market today are obli-
cations of corporations.
The corporation, In its essential prin-
ciples, has been traced back as far as
ancient Babylon. 1t grew out of the
activities of families in commercial
ventures. A family Of fishermen would
be as one in the ownership of boats,
equipment and in their operation.
Their trust in one another led natural
ly to the recognition Of each member
as an agent of the firm, whose acts
bound the others, and to the unlimited
liability of each for payment Of obli-
gations-features of the partnership
The corporation came into existence
as an improvement over the partner
ship in handling large projects and in
is asserted by Blackstone that the cor
poration as we see it today descended
directly from the practice of Roman
business men. The Roman corpora
tons were known as colleges" They
enabled aristocratic Romans to engage
in vulgar trade secretly.
In medieval times the corporation
form of organization was used chiefly
with municipalities and ecclesiastical
bodies. Guilds and municipalities were
often chartered by the crown because
they could exercise the power which
the king himself was unable to WELD.
The American trust" is not strictly
American. The idea of trusts origi-
mated in the middle ages through the
desire of the church to get around the
statutes of ''mortmain." These laws
were not favorable to those who had
estates willed to them In perpetuity.
The scheme adopted was to have prop
erty decided to a third party, who would
administer it for the benefit of the
church. This is similar to the modern
trust organization, where stock of va
rious corporations is held In trust by
a holding company. Probably the pop
ular idea that trusts are illegal origi-
mated in this first evasion of the law.
The trade union has apparently al
ways existed. The Romans had them.
In medieval times they were called
guilds and crafts. JOurneymen often
formed associations for protection. The
purpose they gave was religious wor-
ship, but that was only cover for
what we would now call trade unions.
They conducted strikes and obtained
increases In wages.

Strictly According to Law.

Mr.. j. J. Hissey, in his book, 1.-THE
Road to the Inn," tells the following
story:
A parson was quietly seated in his
study when one of his male parish
toner's was shown in to him, carrying
a baby.
"Parson," he says, "as the law tells
must give you one-tenth Of all l pro-
duce, here's my tenth child" and with
out another word the man placed the
baby on the astonished parsons knee
and departed.
