"Some of us felt at one time that there was a spontaneous moral crusade for prohibition, and that the majority of our people were behind it. We, therefore, supported the movement, and, although we did not believe in the principle, we were willing to give up the use of wines and liquors in the interest of tho common good, and because of what wo believed to -be the will of tho majroity, "Now what a revelation is made to us! Circumstances have made us suspicious for u long tim<^, but we were not quite prepared lot the statement of Mr. Wayne Wheeler that thirtyfive millions of dollars were spent to put the thing over, and that since the law went into effect as much us two and a half millions per year have been spent by one organization in trying to make people think that the law was a good tiling. * "This money was not spent on education. We remember how quietly it was done, with very little discussion eral public. This is why some of us jn the Legislature or among the genthought that the movement was spontaneous. "Our memory is also to the effect that there was no general canvass for this vast sum of money, as has been the case in other great drives. "It is now reasonably .obvious that the gossip which we have been hearing for the past six years to the effect that a comparatively few persons, principally so-called 'Captains of Industry,' furnished this money on grounds of expediency, is true. "Instead of a great moral uprising, it now appears pretty clearly that these men wanted to get more work out of their employes by trying to prevent them from having alcoholic drink, while they themselves could have their own private stocks. "They took thirty-five millions or more, earned in large part by the laboring man, and 'put it over' not only on hint,' but on the rest of us 'Kasy Mark*.'" Georgia Banker Suicides' ? Atlanta, July 16.?J. R. Smith, president of the Atlanta Real Estate Board and director of the Bankers Trust Company, for which a receivership was designated in Federal District Court yesterday, shot hmiself at his home in Morningside, a subdivision here early today. Mr. Smith was reported dead when found. The body was found by a servant, attracted to the scene by the sound of the shot. The door of Mr. Smith's room Was locked ai^d the servant broke it down with an axe. His daughter, Mrs. Julia Lipsey, was among the first to reach the body. Mr. Smith was dead when found, the entire load of a srfotgun having entered his abdomen. Belief was expressed that he fired the shot with his toe. Several letters were found beside the body. They were turned over to the coroner, who announced an inquest probably would be held later in the day. Mr. Smith was a former member of the realty firm of J. R. Smith nnd \V. S. Rankin company. Lately he had been connected with the Sylvan Hills and Morningside development projects. In addition to having been a director of the Bankers' Trust company, he also was a director of the Farmers and Traders bank ot Atlanta which closed early this week.

Atlanta, July 15.?Forty-eight Georgia banks anil the Bankers' Trust company of Atlanta, operating company for 12t> banks in the state have . h.sed their doors since Monday morning, the state department of banks ..nnounced tonight. Total capitalization of the banks was ovey $1,000,000 and total resources more than $10, ldp.120. Numerous hanks were capitalized as low as $15,000 and ranged upward to S500,000 for the Georgia State bank. Liabilities ranged from $JS,275.58 upward to $4,471 The dosing largely was attributed to tho appointment of a receiver for the Bankers' Trust company. By a tempo; ar;. injunction officers of the company were restrained from altering in any way tho status of the 120 hanks in the chain. ,,,r * i u ii ! i " 7 Columbia Baalu. ? Information cotplng to the Yorkville Enquiror, and coming straight from bankers who know what they are talking about, is that there la s| most unsatisfactory, a shameful hanking situation^'in the capital city! of Columbia. From authentic infer-1 mation it appears that the banking business there is a "dog-eat-dog" | sort of a game?a cut-throat proce-1 dure, if you will. It i? really serious and shameful from all information available. A former Columbia'banker who got out of the business there ami got out largely because i.e was disgusted with the business as carried on, is authority I f?r the statement that all of the Imnks there?that is, the remaining banks aro constantly lighting each other and have come to the place where some of them are. willing ami do resort to almost any means to put their fellow bankers out of business or to seriously cripple them. A bank director is authority for the | statement that no bank under the sun could prosper under the difficulties I and handicaps that confronted the Columbia banking institution which closed its doors last Saturday^ tarrying along its two branches in Aiken and Bcnnettsville. His story is that it has been the custom for some other competitors to hold the checks of this bank in clearance for a day or two, I let th^m pyramid and then go to the J defunct bank and demand cash for the lot. If that is the c&Be and the story rings true, it would appear to The Yorkville Enquirer it is time fori criminal prosecution against some-1 body. There are good people in Columbia?people, honest and true and I above board, who love their God and 1 who have been trained to play fair with their fellows. The majority of them .are that kind. On the other hand, there are some of the meanest, I most contemptible business pups in the state resident of that town. We should know! We could say more; but we won't just now. We are aware of the fact that there is a statute on the books which Would penalize any person or 1 persons who would make false statements or spread false rumors about oanks?state banks in particular. That does not frighten u^. If anybody cares to take exception to this I editorial and cares to conduct a prosecution, it will be welcomed by The 1 Yorkville Enquirer. We repeat there should be a thorough investigation of the state bank- J ing business in' South Carolina?not pnly in Columbia, but over% the state. 1 It should be done at once. And that I thorough investigation and examina-1 tion should be conducted by expert ac-1 countants and examiners who have no pecuniary interest in those banks. It should be conducted by men who have no bum notes in "busted" banks which are not secured by collateral worth several tunes the amounts of those notes. When will our' people wake up. to what is going on politically in South Carolina ? " We wonder rfThere is a single candate among the nine running for governor in South Carolina who has the courage and the nerve to discuss this subject and to advocate a thorough banking house cleaning such as The Enquirer and the great majority of the people of South Carolina want to see and which should begin right now. ?Yorkville Enquirer. Diversification Delivers the Dough. Does farm diversification pay? I). B. Anderson, farmer of Reidvilie, Spartanburg county, says that it does and it is hard to dispute him when he flashes a book full of facts and figures, covering a three-year period, into one's face. "It takes about four sources of farm income to insure success, year in and year out," declared Mr. Anderson, | when <liscu--dng diversification hefore the annua! conference of the Kxtensnion Service in Rock Hill recently. "A thorough investigation made in Georgia lor several years indicated that three main money crops were haruly enough to overcome seasonal fluctuations. The same figures showed that farmers with five or six big enterprises had too many irons in the tire to do any one thoroughly." In the | face of the facts like these, and posted as was Mr. Anderson, no farmer should make a mistake. Three years ago this farmer started out with three cows. Today he has eight. He sells sweet cream in Spartanburg and feeds skim milk to the calves, pigs and chickens. The cows returned profits during the three years of $977, $019 and $550 respectively, not considering calves and manure produced. During three years, two brood sows produced pigs that sold for an average of $531 a year. This year a peach orchard is coming into hearing, with a promise of 1200 to 1500 bushels of Elbertas. Mrs. Anderson who bosses the chicken flock of about 100 hens, has averaged slightly less than $500 a year. The fust year the hens brought a gross income of $593.38, while the expenses amounted to $117. The second year saw gross returns increase to $098, with expenses, $194. The third year boosted income to $2,055, while cost of production amounted to $1,499. Cow-hog-peach-hen diversification is a money-getter and I). B. Anderson has proven that. A Cincinnati man has sued the local street car company for $5,000. alleging he was bitten by a sp>dcr while riding on one of the trolleys. i Says Negro*-* Beaten to iDeatn. Albermarle, N. C., July 14.?The first witness in the trial of N. C. Cranford, former convict boss, charged with the murder of two negro convicts, testified here today that Cranford beat the negroes until they were unconscious and that they died without regaining consciousness. S. P. Thompson, the witness, a f' ?m6r convict, stated furthermore when he left the chain gang Cranford "advised" him to tell nothing. The witness said the two negroes, James Terry and James Howell, claimed they were sick and they were given medicine and forced to go into the hot sun to work. They said they wanted to stay in the shade, whereupon Cranford rushed toward them saying tihat he would'give them shade, Thompson testified. Then, the witness said, Cranford began beating the negroes and continued until they were unconscious. Electric motors in the United States are doing work equivalent to that of 170,000,000 men.
