Dava'ble January 15, 1915. With Che incoming State taxes as security the State of South Carolina has "been compelled for almost forty years to float a loan to meet running expenses for six months of the year. <The legislative assemblies of 1910, 1911, 1912 and 1913, in an item of the general appropriation bill, have authorized the State borrowing board, composed of as above stated, to negotiate this loan. Friction between the gover\ nor and the other two members of the board, has made it an impossibility to float the loan as provided, without a hitch in the negotiations. In , 1913 the governor vetoed the item and asked that he should not be appointed a member of the board. The item , was passed over his veto and the , ? - J ' I'U /s ?/. o nro /%_ money was stcureu. mcic "a.? tically the same procedure in 1912. (JOY. BLEASE SAYS TROOPS CAN PASS ? Tells Gov.

Legislative Material. News and Courier. Here is an editorial from the Abbeville Medium which ought to strike home in Charleston: 'In Xewtoerry the present members of the legislature have all announced for ie-election. Xewtoerry has one of t':e strongest delegates of any coun iv in uie oiaie. il caciviscs iuuic influence in legislation than that of Spartanburg, though Spartanburg has three times as many members of the house as Newberry. It is more powerful than the Charleston delegation, t'hough Charleston has four time as many representatives as Newberry. "There's a reason. "Newberry's delegation consists of Geo. S. Mower, Arthur Kibler and C. T. Wyche. These are veteran, legislators of marked ability. "iVVhen the counties of tho State send such men to Columbia to represent them in the legislature, and keep them there for long years, the county will be well serve^and the State will profit. "Abbeville county has men who are the equal in ability -of any. We trust they will offer for the legislature, thus giving the people tne opportunity to vote for them. "There is at this time only one candidate for the. house in Abbeville county. He is of the type of which we speak, Abbeville will honor itself in electing him." The Medium is mistaken as to its figures. Charleston having only nine seats in the house of representatives, or three times the number to which .Newberry is entitled; but is it wrong as to its deductions? The next meeting of the general assembly will almost certainly be one of extraordinary activity. Is the metropolis of the State content to go without leardership at a time when'leadership of the right sort could achieve much both for the. city and State? iThe legislative lists are still open in i.. mi ?.in uuai lesiuu cuuiiLj. liiey wui ue uycii until noon of the day preceding the day on which the first county campaign meeting is held. The rules of the partv, as adopted at the recent May convention in 'Columbia, say so in so many words. But it is evident that the community will wait in vain for men of the type which is wanted to come forward and volunteer their services. The onlv wav to ^et sunh men is to impress them. What is the matter with the men of affairs in Charleston that t'nev are so/indifferent to what is at stake in. this matter?

Arthur Kibler, Pres. Co. S. S. Convention. ' Editor .Villi's Swan Song.'' Abbeville Press and Banner. Good news comes from all over tne Third Congressional district as to the Hon. Fred. H. Dominick. Information now is that he will have a safe majority in every county except possibly Abbeville and in that county the race will be close. The voters of the district could scarcely do better than send him to congress. We were in Greenwood the other day and everything looks mighty fine up there. The same news comes from Anderson, Pickens, and Oconee. Of course, [ he would not think of carrying tue j home county of Mr. Aiken, but he is g:ing to make it mighty interesting I up there for the gentleman.?-New- [ berry Herald and News. There is an old legand that the J swan, ordinarily a mere gabbler, like other water fowl, in the throes of death, sings his own funeral hymn. How swan-like, and how i.iymn-like ' the quoted lines from Tue Herald and ! News, whose editor ever has been, ' and even now is in the same boat with Mr. Dominick, while the said ' boat is drawing nearer and nearer ; the rapids. Tne said b~at has had pretty j heavy jolts before, '.or instance wuen 1 the Hon. Frederick Dominick was I overwhelmingly defeated for the legislature t/'.:e last time he offered; ween I this same Editor Aull last election was defeated for school commissioner by a vote of something like two to or.e and when the Hon. Frederick a few months ago received seventeen ! i I votes in his he me club out of the hun- j dred more voting for 'egates to I the State convention. Coining uown to tae facts, is Editor | Auil sin^ng or whistljng? Whistling, J I trow. The little boa; surely must be approaching a graveyard. And Editor Aull really does think j Wyatt Aiken may carry Abbeville, or ' perhaps Mi is was just thrown in to ] keep from breaking the congressman's j oil ir? nnp cmash. Col. Aull has | I .I'vUi ?, au Hi vw _ _ always been thoughtful of other peo- | pie's feelings, and njindful of their ! kindnesses, and doubtless this little j outburst of generosity sprung from , these known characteristics. Of course Colonel Aull believes that ! Hon. Fred. Dominick will carry every county in the district. Did I say all? J Well, all save Abbeville, so gracious-' Iv excepted by the Colonel. And why ! is it so certain that he believes it?} Way, because the Colonel s-lemnlyj says so in the cblumns o.' his paper, ! and- the Colonel would not solemnly j say anythin^ favorable to himself or j his political friends in the columns o: j his paper he did not believe to be true, j It is even n ised about that Col. Aull is to take a little trip tarough the ; I district in behalf of Mr. Dominick, | but let 210 man infer from this that Col. Anil wouid be partial to Mr. Domi inick in t-e columns of his paper.' Perish the thought! Now coming back to Col. Aull's and Hon. Fred. D.minick's home county. Of course the Colonel is a g:od church I member as is this editor, and good t-j. v.. 4- f k ic church mertfuers cani uei, j?ul editor has a friend who will e^en brave the vengeance of the State constables for whom the Charleston race track gamblers seem to stand in such dread to bet a g:od round sum that 'Mr. Aiken will get more votes in' Newberry county than will Mr. Dominick. The Colonel's claim t-sat ivir. i_/ouunick will carry every county in the Third district, always saving Abbeville, is like the claim of the little fisherman, \vv.o said when ne got the fish he was then trying to catch and five more he would have six. The people know that Mr. Aiken has been constantly at his pust in. Washington attending to their business, taking the high ground that the man in National politics should not interfere in factional figvits in the State. They know that no man in congress ever rendered more honest or more 'faithful service to his party and to the people of his State, and the people are just, whatever may be said of the politicians wtho would warp their judgment. Much as Mr. Dominck would like to do it, Tie is without excuse to cry even as did Brutus: "Help me Cassius or I sink." I In Uemoriam Mrs. J. D. Sheely. The ihome of Mr. John D. Sheely was saddened on the night of June 9, when the heavenly Father looked down from heaven and called wife and mother, the one that is so sadly miss 1 f 1 1 _ 1 ea in a ramny, ana wuose piace never can be.filled. She was a dear kind lady to all that she knew. Her desire was to please every one and especially to those who were with her all the time. The beautiful words that ner pastor and Rev., John J. Long spoke at ner fuueral show the high psteem in which she was held and now to the dear family, Weep not, for your loss is her gain, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea witfn the spirit that they may rest from their labors and their works do "follow them. We who knew her best loved her most. A Friend. Card of Thanks. ./ I can not begin to express my appreciation of the kindness shown us by our neighbors, friends and kindred during the last illness of my husband. I wish especially to thank the Woodmen of the World for their assistance and sympathy. We know that we can never repay this debt of gratitude to oiu friends but we can hope that wfhen sorrow and death come into their hopes that God will put it into the hearts of their neighbors and friends to do unto them as f iney nave uuue umu us.
