Neither are we familiar with the details of the duties of a state or national bank rtcaminer. Hut, as we undostand it, u state bank examiner's business is to keep in close touch with the Btate'bankp under his supervision at all times and when he sees that they are in a 'tyvakened condition with little or no chance of their growing stronger he should shut them up before everything is gone. During the administration of Mr. Bradley as state bank exumincr more than forty banks In this state have gone to the wall. The latest one to go is the American Bunk and Trust Co, of.Columbia, which failed to open last Saturday. Mr. Bradley lives>in Columbiu andis or should be in close touch with ? the affairs of that institution. If he didn't know for some time past that this institution was in a weak condition, and was daily growing weaker, why didn't he know, it? Was it not his business to know? The senate of South Carolina refused to investigate this Mr. Bradley's doings at its last session. The solemn senators, or rather a majority of them, said it would hurt the banks to investigate Mr. Bradley. The Enquirer doesn't want to be unjust or unfair to Mr. Bradley or to anybody else. But frankly, it seems to us that the state bank examiner is not on the job. And furthermore, it seems to us that ?t is the duty of somebody to put somebody on that joh who will look , ~? after the interests <of the widows And the orphans and other 'folks who have a few dollars on deposit in the , banks.?Yorkville Enquirer. Ought To Be In Heaven. I (Greenville News.) If there is one place on earth where extravagant language is permissible it is in the accounts of weddings. But The News agrees with the American Mercury tbat in the following description the society editor of the Charlottesville (Ky.) Chronicle ~ has run considerably wild; "The bride is a woman of wondrous fascination and a remarkable attractiveness, for with manner as enchanting as the wan of a siren and a disposition as sweet as the odor of flowers, and spirit as joyous as the enroling of birds and mind as brilliant as those glittering tresses that adorn the brow of Winter and with heart asvpure as dewdrops trembling in a coronet of violets, she will make the home of her husband a paradise of enchantment like the lovely home of her girlhood, where the heaventoned harp of marriage, with its chords of love and devotion ami fond endearments sent forth the sweetest strains of felicity that ever thriled the senses with rhythmic pulsing of ecstatic rapture." And to think that all of that married a mere man! If he was not suffering an inferiority complex prior to the ticing of the knot, he has one now. It is enough for tin- society eds to go into gentle description of the bride with such adjectives as "pretty" and "attractive" and snubbed the bridegroom with scant mention that he "is connected with" so and so. But to put a bridegroom under the handicap of living with a woman who, if the society editor is right, ought to "V- be in heaven, instead of on this planet. is cruelty that should come within jurisdiction of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals." The Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic railroad was sold at auction under foreclosure proceedings in Atlanta, (la., Wednesday to a reorganization committee for the bond holders for $-1,500,000. " ' y -1 . THIS WEEK By Arthur Brisbane wmmmmmrnmmmmmmkmmmmm Mr. Brisbane's editorials are pubUhIm-'I cxpr^aionfl of opinions of the world's ftghest-saf|pried editor and The Chronicle does not necessarily endorse ail of 'his views and conclusions. A dozen king penguin# way be seen *tatiding up struight in New Yyrk'* Zoological garden. First to come hero alive from their tcold home in the Antarctic, it is doubtful that they will survive the hot summer. Pay them a visit-if you*can. They stand three feet high, looking very solemn. And their breeding habits make you thoughtful. Tho hen penguin lays only one white egg. "If she laid it on the ground in hpr home climate it would freeze In half a minute. She puts her.feet together, the egg on top of her feet, lets down over it a roll of feather covered fat from her stomach, and the heat of the fat keeps the egg and her feet warm. When she can't stand it any longer, the father penguin sidles up and the egg is swiftly switched to his feet and he lowers a roll of fat. The Reverend Dr. Slaten expects the human race to change greatly in sixty years. "Our grandchildren will make nature their teacher, rather than theology or philosophy." He also says our grandchildren will believe in internationalism, which will replace the patriotism of today. Things don't happen so rapidly. Patriotism, which means holding together and keeping what your ancestors have accomplished, will be necessary for many generations. As for making nature your teacher, "Without the help of theology or philosophy, nature can teach little lUnless the light of philosophy helps you to understand and the light of inspiration makes it worth while. Primitive men had nature for teacher, and she only taught them to murder j'.each other, and invent superstitions J to justify it. ^ ' , . ' j Uncle Sam is certainly a' rich old gentleman. His receipts yesterday j amounted to more than five hundred I million dollars, just a small part of j his income. In Tom Reed's day, ' people called it dreadful for one Conj gress to spend a billion. Half of a j Congress could spend that now in half a year, and ask. for more. No wonder Wall Street and the big men |?re happy. The real money and real | values are here. Senator Reed, of Missouri, eartiest and energetic, attacks the bill to ex! tend Federal maternity aid to the [Mates for anotljpr year. Mr. Reed I objects to what he calls "a bunch of unmarried women going about the 'country trying to tell real mothers how to raise their babies." The good Senator calls it "interference with American motherhood." j If Senator Reed went to a well j managed lying-in hospital he would i find many unmarried women, trained i nurses, helping mothers to have their j babies.- And he wouldn't find the I mothers dying like flies, as they do I throughout the country, tens of | thousands of mothers dying in childbirth every year, because they lack knowledge and intelligent care, j Merely having a baby doesn't make j a mother know how to take care of j a baby. ! j This government spends millions teaching farmers to take care of j new-born pigs, calves and other aniI'lnals. It ought to spend a little I money also to help human mothers with their children. And when Senaj tor Reed thinks it over ho will agree with that. Financial newspapers worry about .any effoit to help the farmers, fearit may be a "tax on food." That is convincing, when your i sympathies happen to be on that side, i What about heavy duties, taxes that one hundred and fifteen millions of | people pay, to protect a few dozen or | hundred of manufacturers I> it all j l ight to tax all the people to protect j the "right sort of people," but all wrong to tax anybody to protect thirty-five million people working on ' the farms ?

CHANCE FOR FIVE Mr. Anil Think* Five Gubernatorial C andidate* Might mu Well Quit (By John K, Aull in The Yorkvillc Enquirer) Columbia, June 28.?The two campaign partita, one of them including the camlidateti for the United States senate, and the other including the candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, and commissioner- of agriculture, have been pursuing the even tenor of their way in different sections of the atate during the past week, which is the ftecond week uf their itinerary. So far as the campaign for the United States senate is concerned) there have been no new developments. Mr, Brown, of Barnwell, has put both his opponents on the defensive. Senator Smith? who is now rounding out his eighteenth year as a senator from South Carolina, and former Senator Dial, who served one term in the senate, only to be defeated by Senator Blease for a second term, are both making fine campaigns. They are both seasoned stump speakers. They have been having aU they could do, however, to take car? of themselves against the attacks which Mr. Brown, speaker of the South Carolina house of representatives, has launched against them at every meeting. Mr. Brown has laid down a perfect barrage of questions, which the gentlemen who are in the race against him have sought quarter to answer. It is a pretty three-cornered race, in which the people of the. state are taking a vital interest. Senator Smith. has friends throughout South Carolina who are going to stick to him. Former Senator Dial, as a result of the campaign two years ago, is gonig to have support which he has never had in any previous race which he has made. Mr. Brown is gaining friends on every stump. The race, as a result of last week's activities is about where, it started at the opening of the campaign. Every voter in the state has his own guess coming to him as to who will be the winner. In the race for governor, it might as well be noted at this time that there are four candidates who have eliminated themselves from the race. Mr. John T. Duncan of Columbia has made several campaigns, and when he filed his pledge this summer nobody expected that he would be elected. Mr. John J. McMahan, state insurance commissioner, is making some very fine speeches, but they are not of the political nature which appeals to the people. Former Senator George K. Laney of Chesterfield, took part several years ago in a second race between Senator Blease and Governor McLeod, from which race Senator Laney had been eliminated, and the people of South Carolina seem not to have approved of his attitude in a second race in which he was not a participant. Senator D. A. G. Ouzts, of Greenwood, is making an active campaign, but a trip all over South Carolina develops to the mind of this correspondent that Senator Ouzts is out of the running. This leaves actively in the race five candidates: Major John G. Richards, of Liberty Hill, and a member of the railroad commission of South Carolina; Lieut. Governor E. B. Jackson, of Wagoner, Aiken county; Mr. Carroll D. Nance, chairman of the ways and means committee of the house of representatives; Solicitor Ira C. Blackwood, of Spartanburg, and Representative and former Attorney General Thomas H. Peeples of Columbia. The campaign so far has been conducted upon a ?hig'n plane. The candidates have been discussing issues, as indicated in this correspondence, and have not been indulging in per-1 sonalities. The race between Senator T. B. Butler and Representative James O. Sheppard for lieutenant governor continues to progress as it started? each of these gentlemen presenting his own claims to the people of the state; and the race for commissioner of agriculture, in which Commissioner J. W. Shcaly is opposed by Representative R. 11. Mc Adams, of Abbeville county, nnd- Representative B. J. Penrman of Anderson county, is going along the same. There has been a story persistently circulated around Columbia and else" where in the state to the effect that there is a political alliance between Mr. Carroll D. Xanco of Laurens, candidate for governor and Mr. Edgar A. Brown, of Barnwell county, candidate for United States senate. Mr. Nance asked this writer to deny any ' report that lie was in any alliance with any other candidate for any office. As n matter of fact, nobody I -who has watched the progress of the campaigns now going on in South Carolina gives any credtnce to any ?I such report.

M I I ^ | Calgary's 1926 Stampede to Be a Record Breaker | Calgary's greatest kick during the year is the far renowned "Stampede." The five 4ftya from July 6 to July 10. 1926. will be filled with as many thrills as a whole year's oroncho busting movies. While pictures tell part of the story, to see the real thing is by far the better part. To stare1 ? ,vat anr intrepid. cowboy trying to milk a wild cew:'\<j gasp when they part company with great speed: to hurrah when the wild re.ring and bucking broncho is finally trotted .: ' Jr.':-- ' ' round the ring by a stunningly hatufoome stalwart sweeping off his sombrero with a magnificent gesture to the fair ladies in the gallery, is to experience the thrill 'of a life time. Iienry Ford is rt sponsible for the latest ir,novation for the 1926 Stampede. S"incp he began his campaign to revive the old-time dances, the musical art of fiddling has sprung to the fore. Guy Weadick. the "guy" who started the "Stampede" idea years ago. has announced three large cash nurses to be ot?:red to the hree Aunt ftwmR* ?r OUMbf' ^ boat old-time fiddlers who compete in Calgary during the "Stampede" week. Hon. George H. Webster, the cowboy mayor of Calgary, has ul ready received severaF entries. If they continue to corns during ; the months that remain until July rolls round, there will be as many fiddlers as there will be cowboys and Indians. Perhaps the wild steers will be broken to the tune of "Turkey in the Straw," and the lariats- will swing in the old fashioned onetwo-three waits time! Many and varied in weight and size are the trophies offered dur? ? ing t|?e "Stampede." Chuck wagon races, tent racing, riding wild steers and wild bulls bareback. Calf roping, and automobile races, are the events which each 'year never seem to lose any of their spills or thrills. Each year there are added features which bring novelty to a week always full of fun and adventure,?tne last great west's ' greatest season! Tne Prince of Wales is a regular patron of the C alga r y "Stampede." being a rancher, of Alberta, and the Prince n.ay be present .when the next "Stampede" starts Political Announcements FOR CONGRESS I hereby announce myself as a candidate in the Democratic Primaries of South Carolina, for the nomination for Representative of the Fifth Congressional District for the 70th Congress, and I take this opportunity to thank the people of the District for their loyal support in the past and to say that I shall endeavor to de" serve their support and confidence in the future, ?
