Was Brother Bradley Asleep?
The Yorkville Enquirer does npt
protend to know a great deal about
the banking business. 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."

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 ? No!

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.

| 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
