Kingstree Defeats Andrews 3 to 2

Kingstree defeated Andrews here
Friday afternoon in game OF base
ball, the score being three to two.
Both teams played a good game. The
features of the game were. the pitch
ing of Daniels for Kingstree and the
catching of Mcdowell. Andrews had
a good pithcher, but he could not keep
his opponents under control as the
Kingstree lad did. The game was
close throughout, Kingstree scoring
once in the first inning, while An
drews scored twice in the sixth. In
the last half of the ninth Burgess
gor a rwo-bagger; Daniels brought
him in, while Nesmith brought Dan
iels in, giving Kingstree three and
Andrews two.

Last Friday morning Mr.. l. H.

Last Friday morning Mr.. l. Il.
Cromer, Jr., of The Record was sum-
moned to his home in Clinton on &C
count of the serious illness Of his
sister, Miss Helen. Upon his arrival
home Saturday morning he found that
his sister had died about 2 p. m. Fri
day. About two months ago the
young lady suffered an attack OF in
fiuenza; complications later developed
from which, with her already weak
ened condition, she could not recover.
Miss Cromer was 19 years OF age.
Almost, if not quite an thousand
baby chicks have arrived from dis
tant points at the Kingstree postof-
fee within the past week or ten days.
These "biddies" represent a number OF
the various popular breeds and strains
and, remarkable as it may seem to
old timers, it is a fact that scarce
ly one per cent. has shown up dead
on arrival. In many instances they
came in 100 per cent. alive. Just
stop and consider for moment what
a great age we are living in. Only
a few years ago who would have
thought of getting baby chicks by
mail from ST. Louis or Chicago?
But. that's nothing. Some of US get

WORLDS GREAT DEBT TO OIL
As ;uuminant, Fuel and Lubricant, is
ls Indispensable to the Prog

II Is GO wears since the first oil wen

augurating the era of oil. The discoV-
erv was at once recognized as possess

been but a slight appreciation OF the
mammoth proportions to which the III
dustry was destined to grow. Hailed
as an illuminant supplanting cahuies
and whale oil, the business mas
widened beyond any possible dreams
of those who were active in the early
days of oil. The center of the industry
has long since departed from the place
of it's origin. The southwest ana the
Pacific coast, almost unknown LANDS I'D

duce thousands of barrels to the orig
inal oil regions one. Oil is still used
as an illuminant on millions of farms
and in isolated places all over the
world, but that is no longer the chier
product of crude. Gasoline, at hrst
troublesome by-product, is now the
main result sought. The millions OF
motor-driven vehicles that have come
into existence In the past score or
years would not have been possible
had we not had this desirable product
to provide an explosive TO drive them.
Vast quantities of the crude product
are used to drive locomotives and
ships. The war might not have been
won had not the allies had access to
the fields of Mexico and the United
States. And not only. as; fuel does the
greasy product enter into the WORLDS
commerce, but as lubricant 1T lessons

to be reached in utilizing the waste

further subdivisions may yet increase
the number. The story of oil Is ro-
nance that equals the tale of steel,

OWEN PROPOSES
TO LIMIT INTEREST
MEASURE PROHIBITS THE cuaoo
ING OF MORE THAN SIX
PER CENT FOR
LOANS BY FEDERAL BANKS
purpose Is to Stop Violent and Arb,
trary Fluctuations of Interest
in Leading Cities on
Call Loans"

Washington.-Dec that high IN.
terest rates on call money do no,
check speculation but depress market
conditions, Senator Owen of Oklahoma
introduced bill to prohibit federal re-.
serve banks from charging more than
6 per cent interest ON collateral call or
30-day loans.
In statement accompanying his
bill, Mr.. Owen, former chairman OF
the Senate banking committee, to
which the bill was referred, said he
hoped it would stabilize commercial
interest rates.
"The purpose is to stop violent and
arbitrary fluctuations of interest rates
by banks III leading cities on call
loans" said Senator Owen. There is
no sound reason in these excessive
call loan rates which are alleged to
be justified by the desire to check
speculation. The high rates do not
stop speculation, but promote small
er market and create situation that
permits insiders to sell short at a
profit.
"fhe call loan rates running from
4 per cent to 80 per cent have the eff
feet of injuriously affecting the COM
mercial and ordinary banking rates
and imposes an unfair tax on manu-
facturers, merchants and consumers,
and interferes with the stability Of
the business world.
Banks desiring to check specula-
ton can withhold loans on invest
ment securities and expand loans on
productive enterprises They can
raise the margin requirements and
check speculation without interfering
with the normal business rata
Banks ought to be content with
fair rate and avoid usury. They
should respect the spirit of the stat
utes. which put limit of six per cent
as fair basis.
"The national banks earned at far
rates a billion dollars last year. and
the public is entitled to a fair rate
OF interest.
