A JOKE.
President W. P. G. Harding, of
the Federal Reserve Board, is out J1
with a statement criticising thep
banks of the country for not making '
loans to farmers in order to assist -
them in marketing their products, or 1
in holding them until a fair market '
may be found. '
This sounds to us like a joke. No- 1
body better than President Harding 1
" of the Federal Reserve Board knows s
who is responsible for the present *
conditions.' His acts since the repub- (
lican party went into power in re- 1
laxing to some extent the iron-bound
rules of extending help to country
banks has shown where the trouble
lay. Criticism by high officials in the '
Wilson administration ' of his acts
and proceedings in forcing the coun
try to "deflate" leads to ^he conclu- c
fc?/l 'Mr. Wilson been a well 1
man in the latter days of his admin- ?
is tration, Mr. Harding would have 1
been halted in his efforts to pauper
ize the farming interests of the coun
try. . <
Wte believe that bankers the coun- 1
try over, if they would tell the truth, i
would test'fy that conditions under 1
Mr. Harding's board are intolerable. 1
It 4s stated that the much heralded >
help, which was to come from the
War Finance Board cannot be had <
even now by the banks because af
ter an application, with all the red 1
tape of a treaty of foreign alliance, <
has been approved by the local com
mittee, and then approved in Wash-'
ington, it is sent to the Federal Ke
serve Board for approval or action,
and it Bleeps. Bankers complain that
all kinds of "'i' dottings and "t" .
crossings are demanded, which were
never before demanded of them by
banks with which they dealt before
the creation of the Federal Reserve
Board.
Mr. W. P. G. Harding is entitled to j
the credit of visiting upon the farm- j
ing interests of this country one of
the worst panics in the history of
the country and his modesty shall not 1
' be the occasion of giving credit for
it to others, nor his false assertions
either.

SUPREME COURT CASES
\(
Hamp William* Mutt Serve Sentence V
of Court.
Hamp Williams, who was tried in
Abbeville county and convicted of
manslaughter, must serve his sen- on
tence, according to an opinion hand- th
ed down, by the Supreme Court Wed- in
nesday in which the verdict of the A1
circuit c<yirt was affirmed. Williams sh
shot a man July 26, .1920 and the man mi
was carried to the Anderson county te:
hospital where he appeared to re- he
cover and was then discharged. He an
returned to Donalds and later con- te;
tracted pneumonia, dying September ye
12, 1920. Whether or not the wounds
inflicted by Williams caused his death
sras the main question before the
ower court. The presiding judge re
fused a motion for a directed verdict
n behalf of the defendant and an
ippeal was taken.
Joseph Johnson, who was convicted
Df larceny in Abbeville, was ordered
freed by the court in an opinion in
cue. Johnson was alleged to have
stolen a hog, but no evidence of any
consequence was presented against
iim and counsel moved for a direct
id verdict of not guilty. This was de
lied by the presiding judge and an
ippeal was taken. The supreme court
laid the verdict of not guilty should
lave been directed and ordered the
:ase back to Abbeville for a directed
ferdict in behalf of the defendant.

people know of worse places to
