That the result of the ballot at the (
election held Tuesday on the quest'cn F
of issuing bonds for waterworks 1
ai d sewerage was so overwhelmingly F
in favor of the bond issue is certain- 11
ly very gratifying to the little handfull
of citizens who made such a stren- b
nous fight to get the matter before the 0
people. That water and sewers for h
Cheraw were chief among the neces- n
sary improvements for the contin- *
ued growth and prosperity of the city F
was the honest opinion of the little
band and their belief that a thorough s
discussion would convince every citizen
of the town of the fact has been r
thoroughly vindicated. c
The three gentlemen elected as com- B
missloners or puonc worns are sue- ?
cessful, practical business men and
under their management every interest
of the city will be safeguarded *
and we predict that when completed b
Cheraw w?11 have as complete and v
as ideal a system of waterworks and F
sewerage as can be found in the coun- u
^*^Try. W'ork on the plan!t will no s
doubt be commenced as soon as ar- u
- rangements can* be made to place the e
bonds and competent engineers and a
contractors be found and satisfactory *
contracts ar-anged. d
We see an article in & New York
newspaper which claims that a farmer
in that state has electricity to "burn
on his place. In fact he has his pig :
sty lighted from the juice from Ni- I
agara or some other falls. The
article is very interesting and in some
nartionlnrs thp writpr no douht has
? ? i
his facts straight. But we are infclined
to believe that he is Mistaken
when he says that "The pioneer *
work in converting water power into c
electrical power and transmitting it,
was done at Niagara Falls; and it is ^
in that section of the country that j
the benefits of water power have been \
most evident." If we are not mistaken
the pioneer work of conveying
or transmitting electric power to a 1
O
distance was undertaken right here .
in South Carolina. The first mill
with electrical driven machinery in
which the electricity was produced 1
from water power, is the Columbia 1
Mills company of Columbia. It is 1
true that the developemcnt at Niagara
falls is incomparably greater
than that anywhere else in the world,
but as the old South Carolina road
from Charleston to Augusta was the'
pioneer commercial railway in the'
world, so is the Columbia .Mills fovj
the manufacture of duck, cloth the
pioneer mill operated by electricity J
transmitted from a distance.
THE ItANK EXAMINER SMTATION
The governor has done exactly
what he said lie would do in the mat-;
ter of the closing of the Lexington J
Savings bank. He has fired Hank
Examiner Rhame. or rather, thinks
he has.
AVhen the state bank examiner or-1
dered the Lexington Savings bank,
operated by Mr. Roof, closed?or a
few days later?Governor Illease said
if Mr. Rhame didn't make a report
on his action suitable to the governor.
he would fire Mr. Rhame.
Mr. Rhame's report has been made
I
3 the governor, and the latter evilently
doesn't find it to his liking,
ince he has issued an order firing i
be bank examiner out of office. Im-L
lediately thereafter came a brief j
tatement from Mr. Rhame, in which (
c. not only snaps his finger at the ,
;overnor, figuratively, but declares
ie will hold onto the office until renoved
by the court, and charged the .
;overnor with falsehood. Here's what ,
dr. Rhame said of the governor's ,
rder of removal shortly after the or- ,
ler had been issued.
"The governor's act in attempting
o remove me from my office is purely
irbifrary, and his statement that the ,
ondition of the bank was not cor- .
ecfiy published is false.
"I shall disregard his order and
'hall hold the office until ordered by (
he courts resign it." (
The general understanding about
he situation is that the case will bej
aken to the supreme court for final
ettlement and that Hon. \V. F. Sterenson
has been employed to take
lare of the interest of State Bank
ixarainer Rhame.
Serious doubt has been expressed
>y eminent legal minds of the power
if the governor to remove the state
iank examiner frolm 'office on the
jrounds as set up, It may be that he
:ould have suspended him, but his
lower of removal is seriously quesioned,
if, indeed, the power of suslension
really rests with the goverlor.
As it appears to us Mr. Rhame
ias made a very clear showing in his
wn defence. It seems to us that
e has purged himself of the charges
aade by the governor to the effect
hat he was indifferent and incomletent.
According to Mr. Rhame, he himelf
it was who put this bank out of
usiness. In other words, if he had
lot acted, the bank would probably be
onducting business today. Mr.
Lhame states very carefully his reaon
for acting with deliberation.
It requires a very little thing someimes
to cause *a "run" on a bank I
hat is entirely solvent, and by not
aving enough ready cash in the
aults to satisfy the depositors apdying
in such unusual number and
inder such abnormal conditions?Jt|fl
trongest institution might go dowff^
nder the strain. Therefore it is j
asily seen that a bank is like a wornn
with respect to the manner in
'hich its reputation must be han
led. (

jefore the legislative committee to give
testimony as to the charges prefered
ind tell, generally, what they know
of the affairs of the old State dispensary.
As was to be expected, nothing
new has been developed from the
witnesses with reference to the dispensary.
Much of the testimony Is
a resume of the record as a result of cj
the several investigations. C1
Among the witnesses appearing ^
were members of the Ansel commissi
sion,* members of the Biease com- .
lc
mission, members of the boards of
control of the State dispensary, Attor- ^
L?ey Gene ral Lyon, attorneys and accountants
and officials connected with
the wiuding up of the dispensary. ^
Most Serious Charge.
One of the most serious charges to
be prefered by the governor was
that James S. Farnum, of Charleston,
had paid more than $5,000 for his
.... . ,. ... y<
immunity alter pieaaing guiuy.
Members of the committee heard
that the charge of Farnum had paid e'
550,000 was contained in an editorial ^
appearing in the Fairfield News of
Ridgeway. Senator W. J. Johnson of ^
Fairfield county, who at one time
owned some stock in the paper, was ^
summoned. He was asked concerning J<
the editorial, rfe did not remember S(
anything definite with reference to the n'
fiditorialdabouttheG eshrdulpupupupu ei
editorial. He thought hat he 'had ai
3eard the rumor to the effect that 01
Farnum had paid $50,000 and that he
alight have read the staement in a
newspaper. He denied that he knew ni
of any money being paid by Farnum 111
or any other State official to the attor- (*'
ley general. H. D. Ran tin, who was [c
editor of the News at the time of the
appearance of the editorial charged
iirectly that Senator Johnson had informed
him that Farnum paid $50,000
'or immunity and that it was upon the
statement by Senator Johnson that he
ivrote the editorial. Senator Johnson F<
tvill very probably be recalled by the
committee to testify as to the statenent
by Mr. Rantin. Mr. Rantin may w
also be recalled.

The members of the Blease commis- P1
sion charged that the contract with
the Atlanta firm was unreasonable \
