federal land banks and 1t would be
serious fow to the system to drive
either type Of these land banks out of

are demanded also by the borrowing
public.
when the original act was passing
through its various stages In congress,
we fully investigated the viewpoint of
the investors. We found that many
who are interested in farm mortgages

land banks because they would repre-

"It was clear to us that there were
two classes of farmers to serve, those
who wanted to form associations, and
those who wanted to go 1t alone
"The two classes of farmers and the
two classes of investors and, therefore

ment of agriculture, all looked toward
more food for our great urban centers
which, If 1t would not mean lower
prices, would at least mean that prices
would not go so high as otherwise
would be the case.

war, the two types of banks (the joint

by the new government or may be dis

EDITORIAL

In the note which President WI
son recently addressed to the Allies
insisting on the Turks being ousted
from Europe, he expressed a senti-
ment which we feel sure is almost
unanimous throughout America. The
bloody Turk by his unspeakable cru
elites and butcheries and continuous
incapacity TO maintain a descent
clean government has forfeited any
right to hold territory on Christian
shores and should be relegated to
the Asiatlc strongholds from whence
he came, and it will be a crying
shame in time to come. il this wars
settlement fails to secure that enc
so long demanded by the best inter'
ests of Western civilization.

WRECK AT
GREEN SWAMP
Through Freight Derailed and
Ten Cars Destroyed
NO ONE HURT
All Traffic Held. Up For Many
Hours

One of the worst wrecks in many
years occurred at Green Swamp, on
the outskirts of Sumter, on the main
line of the A. G. L. railroad, at 3:00
o'clock Friday morning. The through
freight, number 220, from Columbia
to Florence, was derailed at the switch
at the fertilizer factory and ten cars
were piled up on each other and COM
pletely demolished. Seven of the cars
contained coal while three were full
of merchandise. The coal was spread
all over the tracks and the track it,
self torn up for e. considerable dis
tance. The wreckjng train was sum-
moned from Florence and the men are
hard at work removing the coal and
repairing the track. They expect to
have it repaired sufficiently TO g.
o'clock so the Columbia train can go
through. Passengers are being trans.
ferred today ON all trains except 50.
from Charleston to Greenvihe. This is
being held in Sumter and will receive
passengers from 81 and will then be
detOured over the Southern. No one
was injured in the wreck and the cause
of the accident is still unkpowa. II
was thought at first thatfa s9reed
switch caused the damage .hut a INA
spection showed that the switch was
in good order. 1t is expected that
when some of the debris is cleared
away the cause will be discoved ~
