A dastardly attempt was made laet
week to wreck the Orangeburg Nat*
ioal Bank by n cowardly sneak who
sent anonymous. letters through tho
mails to depositors of the institution,
telling them that the bank was broke
and the president and his “fayorites”
were protecting themselves and
quietly planning to close. It is a
serious thing to circuinte rumors
questioning the solvency 6f a bank,
but it is doubly serious to nee the
United States mails for that purpose.
A reward of $1,000 has been offered
for the apprehension of the anony

that he will be brought to speedy
justice. Even if he is not, he will
live in daily dreid of arrest and he

the shadow of that dre^l.

Poor man!

the land, and its influence has spread
beyond religious borders, embracing
many pther activities. Conspicuous
among-them art our school*. While
the churches leave our own door

front yards of the heathen, our schools

and often of no earthly us$, while
the- rising generation w taught prac

this old State “of ours bristles with'
most creditable historic episodes, and
even our county is full of interesting

TO MARRY RALPH INCE
AMIABLE ANIMADERSIONS
By U. Jay.
Our old Roman friend, Seneca, was
a wise guy and knew how to get the
juke out of the orange without mess
ing himself up. He used to write
x about the pleasures of poverty on
tables of gold.
It seems impossible to separate
human vanity from human action. ,
This egoism thing is often a thrifty
plant, growing in many instances to
, such proportions as to crowd out prac
tically all the btherr plants in the
mental garden. I have seen conspic
uous cases of the kind where a man
imagines himself to be a dominating
figure in his coirummity, club or as
sembly, when he is nothing' but a
domineering bully.
A large number of girls, if not
meet of them, want to enjoy the
pleasures of sin, but without respon-

These totals were so, widely
variance with the / exceptions
traders and so much lower than
the average - of the private bureaus
that had issued reports in advance
of the government that they created
a profound sensation and for a time
no little skepticism.
The effect was immediate r.nd dras
tic. October selling at 23.00 jumped
to 24.00 immediately after trading
Was resumed, then to 24.50 and final
ly to 24.65, 5 gain in a few miutes of
155‘ point* or a little more than $7 a
bale. \
While there was a recession of
about 40 points from the highest
reached before the termination of
trading on Thursday due to profit
taking the market advanced to a
new high level at 24.64 on Friday
and advanced, again on Saturday to
24.80, closing at prectically the high-,
est level reached since the publica
tion of the report. The contimratioh
of the drought ir. the West has served
to confirm the government’s figures
and unless'copious Vahts soon fall in
Texas and Oklahoma and other por
tions of the belt, prices are likely to
advance further. 'Good rains in the
near future would probably cause a
sharp reaction from recent levels.
The Honor Roll of Souih Carolina
contains, the names of approximately
3,000 Veterans, and 5,Q00 Widows.
Of thi^ number there are about 1,000
Veterans who are members of Organ
ized Camps, who pay dues to the
Division and Headquarters at New
Orleans, La.
At least there are 2,000 Veterans
who do not contribute to the Divi
sion, at the same time they enjoy all
the benefits made possible by the
efforts of those whq do contribute
through the- Camps.
Two-thirds of the Veterans in the
State are doing nothjng towards keep
ing the order alive, while the remain
ing one-third are doing all the work
When you leave a repair job with us,
you can count on it being done with an ex
actness that will prove most satisfying.
Every operation in the completion of the
work is measured with the utmost care.

The Divisie^ needs your assistance,
and the following suggestion is offer
ed to relieve the situation:
Let the Commander of ea-h Camp
get from the Judge of Probate of the
County in which the local Camp is
situated a Roll of the Veterans in’the
County, check this roll with your
Camp list, and make it a point to -see
every Veteran who is not a member
of a Carrip and urge him to enroll his
name. The expense will not exceed
FIFTY CENTS per member, per
year. T R Y _T HIS PLAN,
and it will work out satis-
’faetorily, Increase your Camp mem
bership, and build it up to a stronger
organization.. . *
The Committee appointed by the
^pivision will continue to appeal to the
Legislature from time to time, and
a$k for additional appropriations for
the Honor Roll.
The Adjutant General will render
any assistance possible, and the Judge
of Probate will also assist you in
carrying, out the plan’ suggested.—
