Culmbia, July 14.?The State of.
South Carolina has borrowed $350,000
at 3 1-2 per cent, through its financial

"with a request to procure the gover- j
nor's signature, and to place toe ;

Eight Notes.
In all eight notes have been signed

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 ,

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?

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."

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

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.

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

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
