Historic Building.

The historic old building of colonial
architecture stands in beautlful
grove of trees. This building was in
progress for the courthouse when the
old Pendleton district was divided into
Anderson and Pickens in 1926. 1t was
said, to have only been built to the
window sills when this was done, so
the Pendleton Farmers society com
pleted the building in 1928, and in 1913
the columns were added and the roof
extended over the columns.
Probably the only sun dial of its
kind has found it's home near the old
building, it stands at the front OF the
hall, and is in perfect harmony with
the surroundings, telling Of colonial
days so eloquently that faint shadows
of courtly gentlemen and beautiful Ia
dies seem to hover near. This sundial
was presented by Col. Frank X. Huger
to the Pendleton Farmers society. on
another mount is q small brass cannon
this called the donkey cannon
from an episode which occurred in the
days of '76. A party of young boys
mounted the cannon wheels, hitched
three donkeys, tandem, and drove to
Anderson to celebrate the Hampton
campaign, and they fired the cannon all
during that day and part of the night.
These boys were captained by Cordes
Gaillard, and he was commissioned
afterward by the governor of South
Carolina, and is the youngest captain
of artillery in the history of the state,
for at u years Of age hc was Captain
of the Donkey Artillery"
Back of the old building there is an
other quaint little building-just seems
to be one large room over another,
with small diamond -paned windows at
each end. This structure is so entire
ly original that it attracts attention at
once. This is now the public library,
which is officercd and managed by one
generous, intelligent woman, Miss Sara
McCrady Trescot. She has succeeded.
in preserving many of the historic vol
umes which belonged to the aristocrat-
ic families of old Pendleton, many Of
these families coming to Pendlcton
when they refugeed from Charleston
during the war, and owning magnifi-
cent private libraries This little build
ing at one time was the Jail, but Pen
dleton is such a contented town, and
the people are so much of one family,
that for years there was not a single
prisoner, so the Jail was converted into
library. What wonderful thing
this would be if all iails could be con-
verted into libraries.
The Pendleton Farmers society not
only made history, but they have pre-
served it, for they have published a
complete history of the society since
the organization, gathered from their
minutes, and it is most readable and
interesting volume. 1t is dedicated "to
the memory of South Carolina's great
est statesman, John Caldwell Calhoun
"a progressive farmer, eminent law
yer and patriotic citizen. To his mem
DRY, which South Carolina, with tens
Of thousands of patriots beyond hei
limits will ever cherish, this volume is
respectfully dedicated"

Fears Possible Initiation.

Generally speaking, the Treasury has
been floating a constantly decreasing
total volume of securities and it's bor-
rowings have accordingly not taken new
money or absorbed funds that would
otherwise go nlto business. If the Gov
ernment, on the other hand, were in
creasing the public debt, quite different
problems would arise. Treasury Offer
ngs would then take up new money
nd there would be danger of imitation,
of higher rates for money and of strain
on the new investment markets, with
onsequent prejudice to the Govern
aents own inevitable refunding opera
tions and to business and industry gen.
orally. The whole character of the
operations would be altered.
THE estimates which have been
given as to the prospects for the fiscal
years 1922 and 1928, and the program
which has been outlined for the refund
ing of the short dated debt do not mako
allowance for any extraordinary expcndi-
lures within the next few years for
soldiers bonus Or so-called adjusted
compensation for veterans of the world
war; The figures show that there will
be no available surplus, but. more
probably a deficit. mad that with the
enormous refunding operationss which
the Treasury has to conduct it would
be dangerous in the extereme to at
tempt to finance the expenditures in
volved in the bonus through new bor-
rowings The position of the Treasury
remains unchanged, but If there is to
be a soldiers bonus, it is clear that it
must be provided for through taxation,
and through taxation in addition to the
taxes imposed by existing law.

in this connection. however, not to over
sook one special characteristic Of the
reasury's public debt operations since
ugust 81. 1919, when the gross debt
reached its peak, namely, that the oper-
atoms since that date have been accom-
panied by gradual but steady debt re-

Government faces a heavy shrinkage in
receipts, and internal reven1e collections
in particular are subject to great uncer-
tainty. AS matter of fact, in view OF
the depression in business there is great
.oubt whether the estimates OF receipts
which appear in the budget can be real

rather more than kept pace with the
shrinkage in expenditures. 1t is clear
that under these conditions there Is no
room for new or extraordinary expendi-
lures, and that If new items should be
added which are not included in the bud

Appeals for Minority.
Senator Simmons declared that the
funding bill was not a partisan measure
and he regretted that the majority party
had Ignored every suggestion made by
the minority members OF the Senate
Finance Committee when the bill finally
was agreed ppon."
"To show how far the majority MEM
bers of the committee have disregarded
the wishes of the minority members"
said Senator Simmons, Senator Nc
Cumber and i drafted a proviso setting
forth that there should be no extension
OF time for the payment of the bonds
beyond twenty-five years. the rate OF
interest should be five per cent. payable
semi-annually. and there should be NO
cancellation OF any OF the debts or sub
stitution of the bonds of one nation for
those of another
Now that. proviso met with the APP
proval of the minority members OF the
committee, and we were glad to agree
with the majority members who were
anxious to have bill framed which
would be satisfactory to both sides.

was the last heard of the compromise
measure. Apparently the Secretary of
the Treasury brought great pressure to
bear upon the committee, and all of the
provisionc we agreed upon were stricken
out and a new measure framed, which
is now before u.s.
Senator Simmons took the position
that the measure as it now stands con-
fers upon the Secretary of the Treasury
and the four other members of tn COM
mission, unlimited power as to rate
making and extension of payments. and
to cancel any debts they may see fit.
While there is some provision in the bill
the latter possibility, Sen
ator Simmons said he offered an amend
ment specifying there should be no can
celia ton of any part of the debt, but 1t
was rejected.
Mr.. simmons created mild sensation
by declaring that in his judgment
Frace is able to pay the interest due
this country on her debt "as she is the
most prosperous country now in Eu-
rope" He pointed out that into that
country was poured all the money used
by the allies for the prosecution of the
war.
To-day France is the only nation in
Europe" he added, where there is no
unemployment and where the factories
are running full time. France is so
prosperous she can maintain a huge
army and plan a broad naval program"

ut is difficult to estimate how much
additional taxation would be necessary,
for the last bonus bill considered was
S sos, reported by the Committee on
FINANCE OF the Senate on June 20, 1921.
From the report of the committee and
the estimates of the Government actuary
1t would appear that the total cost of
the bonus under this bill would be
about $3.50, OQ--o00. OF which at least
$S50,0O0,000 would fall in the first two
years of its operation with varying
amounts over intervening years, and
an ultimate payment in the twentieth
year of over $2.114, ,000,0OO
THE minin:um cost would apparently
be about $1,560,0oo. 900 in case sub
stantially all the veterans should take
the cash plan and the maximum cost
about S5,250.000.000 in case substan-

zone of the chief factors in the grad
ual return to normal conditions through
cut the country has been the marked re-
duction in Federal expenditures which
has already occurred. and this has in
turn permitted the tightening OF the bur-
den Of taxation. What has been accom-
plished along these lines within less than
year, through the cooperation of the
Congress and the Executive, makes a
concrete record of achievement in
economy which is worthy of our highest
efforts to maintain. The economies
effected, moreover, have been made
without stinting in any way the relief OF
disabled veterans OF the late war, for
the figures show that the Federal Gov
ernment spent for this purpose in the
fiscal year 1921 about $3.50, 100000 and
will spend for the same purpose in the
fiscal year 1922, and again in the fiscal
year 1928, about $3.50. .000,009 a year. or
more than will be spent for any other
one purpose except interest on the pub

ticularly the conduct of refunding oper-
