to handle the sinking fund for the bond issue, and
that this Financial Agent shall receive all sums of
money going to the particular fund, invest it in
good interest bearing securities, keep the same so
invested, be responsible for the management Of
the fund under the law applicable to other trus-
tees, and that it be paid the remuneration allowed
to other trustees for the handling of such funds.
l. such a law may be passed the authorities that
be will be more than gratified at the results
achieved we believe if such law is not passed,
the public may expect to suffer. The fact that one
administration of the affairs of municipality is
careful to take care of these funds and place them
where they may not be expended will not amount
to much if the next administration may take these
funds from the safe place in which they have been
placed and expend them for anything suggesting
itself to the latter body desirable if not advs
able.
Unless some such provision is made for caring
for the funds thus raisedy guaranteeing that they
will be forthcoming to pay the debts for which they
are raised by taxes levied against the people, we ad
wise the people in Abbevile, and in Abbeville Coun
ty, and elsewhere, to be slow in voting bond issues
in the future. Pay day is to come. If there
is anything which makes day certain it is to fix
that day as the maturity day of note or bond The
wise man prepares against the day of trouble.

A Popular Move.

The return of the roads to their owners is popu-
lar move with the general public although there
are many factions opposed to such move for at
least two years. Among these are the American
Federation of Labor, some organization of the far
mers and the railroad brotherhoods. But the busi-
ness men and the great majority of the farmers are
in favor of the naturalization of the rail-
roads than they are for the Plumb plan.-Wahsing-

Back to a Peace Basis.

Restoring the railroads to their owners will be
another tremendous step in getting back on peace
basis and will be sure to have stabilizng effect on
national industry and business in general. 1t may
require some years of hard work to bring the rail
roads up to their pre-war efficiency when they were
conceded to be the best in the world but American
brains and energy are equal to the tak.-Birming-

The Logical Way.

Of course the logical and only way to deal with
the roads is to turn them back quickly as posi-
ble surrounding them with legislation that will
prevent the abuses which the past disclosed on both
sides. The roads must not be subject to attacks by
Legislatures that will rob them of sufficient revenue
to maintain them. On the other hand, they must
rot be permitted to fall into practices which have
