If that was a "dry" moon we saw on Sunday evening it must have overflowed on Tuesday. There was as heavy rain Tuesday as has fallen here in a lnn.tr timp Politics ie sure enough picking up! as the Greenwood Journal remarked some time ago. The National Loan and Exchange 'bank of Greenwood has loaned the county of Greenwood $80,000 at the low ra-te of 2.45 per cent. That possi- j bly is the lowest rate any county nas j i ^borrowed money. The poor fellow who has to borrow in small quantities is the one who has ;o pay the piper. It1 has always been thus. Two repiesentatives in congress | have announced that they will not "be ! candidates or reelection because they do not agree with *he policy of the president. We suspi ct the main reason is that they are not is accord wirh til** vifws nf thfir r-rvristitiipnts Mr. Page of North Carolina says that so far as he sees now he would not have any opposition, but as his views are not in accord with the president nor apparently in accord with his conf ^ V\ V> o o /I /jrt i /-J I /\ <SMXLUCXll? lie uas UttlUCU IV IViHiC. The insurance companies are withdrawing from the State and some of the newspapers and others seem j alarmed. There is nothing to be alarmed about. The agents at Anderson give as a reason for wanting the ffnvprnor to call an extra session o>? the legislature and have the law rejpealed, the fact that it has taken their means of earning a livelihood. It is hoped they may be able to find some w;u5 viov. iv/ uv. It has come to a pretty state of affairs if a monopoly that has been fixing its own rates and driving out competition can dictate to a sovereign | State. As we understand it there are a number of good and strong companies that were not in the trust that are willing to carry insurance in South Carolina. 1." the governor should call tfie legislature m extra session, v* uxvu | ihe is not likely to do, it is not at all iprobable that the members would admit that they could be dictated to in any such manner and made to reverse their former action in passing the law. | The Beaufcrt Gazette the other day carried a legal sale of land in one case covering 16 columns That was ? J i."U ~ ^ a pretty good pick up auu u me newspapers of Newberry could get a few one-column ads of legal sa-es they would .:eel pretty good over it. T.he Greenville News stated the i ether dav that the revenue officers had j ! raided twenty-one stills in one day and Jj i I arrested three distillers. Or rather we J believe the statement was that this was the result of the work during thej inon;h of February. We are surprised! that there are so many distilleries in Greenville at this time. In an election on prohibition in Vermont the other day the State went overwhelmingly for local option, every county save one giving a majority for local option. The Greenville News says, 'As soon as possible the governor should call the legislature together ag*in and re- ! poal the unwise and uncalled for Southeastern Tariff insurance law." We thought the legislature had done * * ? * - J ? A t tnai jou aireaay. as we uiiuersuiuu the situation the legislature has put the Southeastern out of business in this State. We don't know much about the insurance law. or the act driving the Southeastern ou^ of the State, and, therefore, we are entiely competent to write about it, but it seems to us if the Southeastern Tariff association can dictate to ^outh Carolina In the matter of insurance and arbitrarily fix rates the sooner we know it the better. If there is no other way to get insurance then we better organize a company among ourselves. But there need be no 'I'ear. There will be good companies a plenty to handle the in ? ? ? ^ i v* C1 f ft ^ A surance t>x ims oia?. We see it stated in some of the papers that gasoline will probably go to fifty cents a gallon. The Columbia correspondent of The News and Courier says that there is widespread demand throughout the State that the Sts:.e campaign be done away with. There is no such demand in this neck of the woods that we have heard of. The boys like to take a look at .hose who are aspiring tor orrice and then it gives us a chance to take a peep at our governor and the otlu-r State officials who never come around exopt when they are seeking votes. Let the candidates ace the boys and let the boys 'look at them and hear what they have to say. It breaks tne monotony or uie ciu.i summer mwnus. We notice from the papers that the legislature undertook to raise the salary of the county superintendent of education oX Greenwood county from $900 to $1,000 and when the bill came out and was signed by the governor it has been found that the salary was reduced .irom $900 to $100. In other words reduced $800. We notfce that several of the insurance companies are ^oing to remain in South Carolina and are willing to it> business with our people. A WORD TO CANDIDATES. The Herald and News had thought that the price . or cards for candidates should be a little more than it was in the past. In fact, most of the papers I?A I We own the Paramount have the EXCLUSIVE in Newberry.

Entirely too chcap. but it may be an inducement to increase the number and we will be able to make up in volume of business what we lose in price.

Some one J i | will be ready at once to say that it j would not be safe, bu< why not. We liuve the business ability and the 1 means if we should cooperate to carry !' ; all the insurance we need and keep the profits at home. A sane and safe company writing insurance on a business basis could have it underwrit;en by larger and stronger companies and ! the insurance would be just as good i | as that we have now. It Has Deen done in some counties of this State and the farmers' organization in this county is as good as any insurance that is written. Solicitor Cooper has dispelled all doubt about what he is going io do and announces that he is a candidate j .:or governor. There are a great many ' people in South aCrolina who honestly believe that if iM:r.
