When the amendment passed the
Senate it provided a limit of six
years for ratification There was a
belief among the anti. probitionists
that it never could receive the ap.
proval of three fourths of the States
in that time. And the friends of the
amendment in the House, in order
to give more time for ratification,
added another year-a very un-
necessary precaution, for instead OF
seven years, the amendment is like
ly to be ratified in about two years
from the date of submission.

Carlysle Myrick Dies in France.

The announcement of the death
in France of Corporal H Carlysle
Myrick, member of the engineers
corps, came as grieyous shock to
the young mans host of friends
here.
Carlysle. as he was familiarly
known here, came to Kingstree with
his uncle, G A Milhous. about eight
years ago. When his uncle left
Kingstree to locate elsewhere. the
young man remained, and being an
honorable, Industrious lad he was
given employment by Mr. W E Jen-
kinson, as clerk in his dry goods
store. Here he remained till a call
was issued for volunteers when he
enlisted and was later sent to the
Mexican border, where he remained
until his company was mustered out
of the service. He returned here
and took his old position in the Jen-
kinson dry goods store and remain
ed there until he was called again
into the service of the government
upon the declaration of war against
Germany. The young man has a
host of friends here who read of
his death in the dispatch from Gen.
eral Pershing's headquarters in
France yesterday morning with deep
regret.

REV. E. A. MCDOWELL,
The New Pastor of Kingstree Baptist
Church--Has Done Good Work.

The Rev E A Mcdowell, late of
Fairfax, arrived in Kingstree with
his family Friday. after being some
what delayed on account of the
poor transportation service that is
now being experienced by all who
travel.
MIR Mcdowell was here several
weeks ago and preached to the Bap-
tist congregation. Those who heard
and met him were favorably i'm
pressed with him both as a man and
as minister of the gospel. Later
he was offered the pastorate of the
church here and accepted, he having
previously rendered his resignation
as pastor of a church at Fairfax to
take effect on January l. this year.
This man of God and his good
wife comes to the local Baptist
church and to the people of Kings
tree with high endorsement. We
are glad to have them and assure
them that they will not find, any,
where, a better place to live or a
finer people to be among than right
here in Kingstree.
Mrs Mcdowell is a lady of culture,
possessed with most pleasing per-
sonality, and is a recognized worker
in the great field of religious en-
deavor.
MIR Mcdowell comes of fine old
South Carolina family; he was edu-
Gated at Furman University and the
Southern Baptist Theological semi
nary. Has held several important
pastorates in the State, among the
last being at Nixety-Six and Fairfax.
Referring to his resignation at
Fairfax the State newspaper under
date of September "a contained the
following notice of his work there:
The Rev E A Mcdowell, pastor
of the Fairfax Baptist church, ten
dered his resignation last Sunday
morning TO take effect January l,
1918. Mr. Mcdowell has under con-
sideration other fields. but has not
yet decided where he will make his
future home. During the three
years of his pastorate here the Bap-
tist cause has had a phenomenal
growth. From a constituency of
less than 100. having twice month
preaching, the church has developed
into a more efficient body, support
ing a pastor for all Of his time, own
ing free of debt a splendid church
plant. contributing Systematically to
all benevolences and having added
more than 100 to the membership.
Mr. Mcdowell has made a num-
ber of strong friends in Fairfax and
the surrounding country who will
regret his removal.

In all the years that interviewed since
the mortgage was first used in ancient
Babylon, practically but one change
has been made in mortgage financing.
That change was made by Prussian!
Frederick the Great, who founded
-Prussian mflitarism, gave the first
mortgage bond its start. While the
world holds much against this man for
sowing the seeds of the present world
conflict, we must give him credit for
his aStutenesS In recognizing the adj
vantages of first mortgage bonds Here
is how it happened:
In 1769, Frederick, after his seven
year war with Hungary, France, Rus
STA and Saxony, found himself and his
country in financial embarrassment
Indeed, previous to the war, the fnan-
cfal system had proven inadequate for
even ordinary needs, and the strain
caused by the seven years of fighting
made the situation extremely serious.
German agricultural conditions in par
ticular were deplorable. insufficient
funds and outrageous interest rates on
the part of money lenders greatly ham,
pered the proper filling of the soil.
Frederick realized that the future of
Germany was at stake and that fur
Their progress with existing conditions
was impossible.
In the necessity, a Berlin merchant
by the name of Buhring conceived the
idea of mortgaging the agricultural do
main. Mortgages, of course, were
nothing new, having been originated
by the Babylonians more than two
thousand years previous But mort
gage financing to this extent had never
before been practicable, because Of
the impossibility of finding investors
able or willing to absorb mortgages of
such gigantic size. Buhring said, 'Why
not divide the mortgages into frac-
tional parts, and call these parts
bonds? Then, If the bonds are issued
In comparatively small denominations,
large numbers of investors will parti
cipate, and in addition, the bonds
themselves can be used in payment of
debts during the emergency, in lieu of
cash."

Government Loan
Without Interest
Issued in Venice, 116O; Origin
OF "Bank," Checks
By S. W. STRAUS
Pruminent New York and Chicago BsnkeE)

Copyright. 1917. Western Newspaper Union)
The subscribers to one of the first
government bond issues ever put out
were not so fortunate as Liberty bond
investors. Notwithstanding the fact
that bonds were new and probably un-
tried at that time, the loan bore no in
tereSt. The success with which the
loan met under these conditions should
be an inspiration to US in our present
war financing.
1t happened in Venice, in 116O. The
Doge Mchieli found himself that year
in acute financial embarrassment. 1t
was necessary to raise a large gum of
money Immediately, and the state hit
upon the plan of borrowing in its name
from a number of prosperous Venetian
merchants One hundred and fifty
thousand marks of silver was the
amount of the loan and the Doge Mich
feli himself was one of the subScrib-
ers- The loan was secured by mort
gage on the Rialto and all the reven-
ues arising from it. During its life
eleven years, the loan bore no interest
In 1173 the public treasury was again
nearly empty, it having been found
that the revenues derived from the
first loan were not sufficient. Accord
fngly, the Doge Ziani f1oated loan
amounting to one per cent of the val
uation of the aggregate property in ev-
cry household. This paid interest at
4 per cent, payable half yearly, as in
most of our modern bond issues. 1t
was to be repaid ip--nore prosperous
times
There was no paper or other mate
rial available for distributing evidences
of the Indebtedness. So the state en-
tered the records into books and three
commissioners were appointed to levy
and collect the loan. They were called
Public Chamherlains and the bureau
where the business was transacted,
The Chamber OF Imposts. The citi-
Gems soon began to sell the credits
among one another. This was done In
the Chamber of Imposts, where the
that the trading was the beginning OF
the modern stock exchange. AT any
rate, 400 years later the Chamber of
Imposts became the Bank of Venice,
which is generally supposed to be the
first modern bank
Another interesting public loan, even
earlier. was proposed by Xenophon, in
Athens. His plan was to establish
joint stock bank to which all Athenian
people were invited to subscribe The
proceeds were to be expended in Inn
proving the ports OF Athens. erecting
halls. warehouses. docks. exchanges.
market houses, etc.
