A WORTHY COUPLE
In *rv>*her column we* are carrying j
sr. account of a family reunion at the;
home of that sUffbng cai?ie, Mr. and
Mr* J K Catkin, of the Flat Rock
My*t.or. of '-hi.* county, on the occn?

It is amazing, with the few advantag- :
eo they fcad, that they could have :
done so- much. Through it al! they <
have found time to take a lively in-;
terov,*. ,n affairs and have kept intelligently
ahreaat of the times.
The a- h/evernefitrt of the-** splendid
people should put to shame those who
;n these times would lose hope. This

the people. There is not a single
argument that we can think of in .
favor of keeping place* of business
open until twelve o'clock on Saturday ,
nights. f>n the other hand, there are [
a multitude of reaaoiv* why those who j
gain their livelihood 'by working inj
.stores and shops should be allowed |
to begin their weekly rest at an ^
earlier hour. When one has worked

f<>rc he can go to rest, it is hard to j
get up, get ready and go to church r
<>n Sunday morning; and to our mind
it is a mighty hard employer who,
for the sake of a few extra pennies
he thinks he will get, will keep those
who work for him tied to his store
to such an hour, when by so doing
he in vades his employe*'s <tay of rest (
arid diminishes the church attendance
in this city. Camden rightfully |
boasts good churches, at any one of
which one may go on a Sunday morn- i
ing ami listen to delightful music and
an excellent ami well-propared sermon
delivered by an able preacher;
but those who have to earn their
bread by working in stores may be
excused if they do not feel like getting
up and going to church on Sunday
morning when they are not allowed
to seek their rest until one or
two o'clock on Sunday morning
A petition ra being circulated among
tho bUHrmoss people for the
closing of the places of businesn as
above indicated. This petition, with
the na mes of the signers, will he

Short Discussion
On Deflation
John I>evm*, of Ntnr York City,
a lawyer, who ha# been evening to
(m mder. f>*r a numbtrr of years, has
written the follower* timely article
on the subject <*f "*InflstK#n," which
will no dodbt be read with great interest
:
Every depression has its root in
one thing -<kebC
Every (hpresnon is due in it# e#- i
seme to one thing?the pressure of j
the creditor on the debtor, and the
ne* p- eidsng stream of liquidation j
."&u-ed thereby i
A Jepr?r< s.on ^ really terminated'
by or.e thing--the transfer of?The '
pr >p? rty of vne debtor .nt?# the handr- ,
of the creditor.
Wr.t r. the property of the debtor j
ha- Ix-en transferred to the creditor,
the dt ot j.t cancetied, credit is onca'
rnor*- revived and the depression itlifted.
}
(trodit is revived when, arwj only (
when. tn? old debt i# cancelled, be-1
au-e in nature of thing* credit will!
not be extended for the barfw# pur
jK>se ??f paying old debts, nrlerein
lies the fallacy of credit inflation. Socalled
Credit inflation is not inflation
a', all. Inflation is something which
ra^es prices, and anything that does
not raise prices is not inflation. Socalled
crod;t inflation merely contains
potentialities of inflation which, however.
wiii become actuated, only when
pa->t debt has become liquidated; and
as it functions only after the debt |
Las beer. discharged, it will not be j
available to raise prices until prices '
have .1.ready ri*er. as a result of the
re--al;or? of the liquidation nect-.s-sary ,
pay old debts.
If * iedit . > made ava.lable for the;
pu.po-e pay .ng old debts, thereby;

S i h 1; '' * i" *t' d'?x p.v*<-rn of a
depres- >-?Ti ami depressions in the
past have bet-n terminated by the apphcat.on
of this formula ?the trans-,
fer of the property of the debtor ir.toj
the hand* o" the creditor, the conse- j
quent abolition of the debt and the
-*ub.sr-quent revival of credit, which is j
"the life-blood of commerce."
Tt is my belief that this depression
cannot be solved by the application
of this orthodox formula for one very
.simple reason. Never in the history
of civilization have there been so
many people entangled in the mesh of
debt and oppressed and crushed
thereby. Never in history have there
been so many debtors. ?
It might 1h? possible to ruthlessly
enforce- a complete liquidation of
debt, restore credit, and thereby end ;
a depression, when the number of
debtors is proportionally small, but1
when the proportion of debtors is
very large, this very large number J
of debtors will not accept this solu-,
lion of the-problem by the transfer j
of their property,"
It may be objected that the mere j
question of numbers cannot affect the .
essential nature of the problem. But j
considerations of number, time nnd ,
space affect all human relations. An
mora rase or decrease in the number
of people involved changes the nature
of every human problem. A .strong
bank can survive a run from a number
of depositors; but let the number
of depositors who demand their money
at the same time be large enough
and any bank will fail. ATI human
institutions are "of the willow, rg0?
of the oak."
When a groat majority of the population
is mvolved in a morass of
debt Which can only be discharged by
the transfer of their property the |
problem has emerged from the stra- j
turn of human life and affairs which
is regulated by the laws and custom?
if commerce, to a stratum of human;
life, where the basic interests of huma
nit y itself are invoKed. regulated j
>,v the fundamental principles of;
e<i.;.*'. and i.isl. e. The problem has
wur.- 'he < ? -.nojpir con,
i . . , ftr,. i.ut weighed by the
i r.c, i?- ;,nr;\ It is ne of those
\v. h. fts Burke has -.-aid
\1 >v wa'ves ' s ruie-i :r. order
. r. -u'T".s principles."
S-, w- corvlud? that t'h - depr?-? n.
w."h??ut precedent in the number
of r.umar. bongs involved throughout
'>,< world, cannot and will n"t be
- .ived by the application of the orthodox
formula.
\\"'ru? then can be done? If the
: prea->...r. must be terminated oth<^
wise than by the transfer of the property
of the debtor to the creditor,
and if credit carmot begin to flow until
the debt is extinguished, then the
debt must bo paid. But the debt
uu^' Is* rea!!y paid *o that credit
can he released; it will not do to rob
Peter to pay Phoi; it w.Sl not do .0
rotierv? any ainglo claas or even mar.y
, ;a,,f d.r< from the. burden
of their debt by ir.rrcadrg the debt
(,f 1 h?* r--?t ?f tn?* :Oov.;r..t y; .1 w ill
not do to help the farmer by adding
to the cost of living of all *ho re*- <-f
the people.
Now in order to enable the debtor
at the present time to pay his debt
the price of the commodities and ?ervices
which are the only things* he
can tender in payment thereof, must
be raised to such an extenfcr th*t it
will become possible for him to liquidate
his debt. This can be done by
lowering: the value of the common denominator
of all debt,?money, and
it can be done in no other way. This
is also the only way in which the
noxious by-products of this pressure
of the creditor on the debtor, which
we call a depression, can be removed.
Of these by-products today hoarding
is the most conspicuous example.,
At the present time, money is
very much more valuable than things. I
As long as money is more valuable
than things, money will be hoarded.
The only way to bring money out of
hoarding and into functioning is to j
make things more valuable than money,?and
this, I repeat, can only be
done by a measure which wiil raise
the entire plateau of prices by diminishing
the value of their common
denominator?-money. There is only
one way of accomplishing tftas?by
controlled currency inflation.
tt is my profound belief that the
speedy adoption of this rruaaswre, inevitable
in the long run, will result
in the saving of countless human
lives, of biltiona of dollars in values;
and in the early restoration-wpf tranquility
at a time when chaps ,-js invminemt,
ami disintegrating force* ar*
shaking the bases of civilization.

CAMDEN'S LOSSES
1%# dturcb ha* always suffered

the whole church; hot the churvh
moved on. Every paetof-knows what
u mear* to loae members who sre
true and loyal?men and women who
stand by the ideals of Meth dam, j
But it seem* that our church at Cam-,
k-n hat suffered ?:?:ne irreparable,
losses during this year?no: half

of a congregation to so be affl .ted. i
it ha* been rny iad duty t .. bury

Brothers C. W Kvana, Boykin Rr.ame*

about 11 o'clock, and at
11:30 "fell on sleep," without a mur- ,
rnur or struggle.
Brother Burns will not only be j
missed in the church, bat all Cam-i

loss. Then, since 11*30 our church
has lost two other stalwart mer., who
were indeed faithful pillars, a.-* I arn

Baseball players, known to be superstitious.

things with their accustomed skill.
Base hits become infrequent; they

The Same Old (lame.
Last year, after a long siege, the
lower house of the Legislature pass- (
ed an apprupriation bill. The Senate
then took it, piddled on it indefinitely
and raised it several million dollar
? When brought back to the house
a portion of the members were busted,
some at heart sympathetic with
the raise, others willing, but weakkneed,
and all ready to go home, spccombed
as usual to senate dictation
and voted concurrence in the hairy
m??r.ster. This year the same old gag
.n evidence. When not discussing
beer or some other tomfoolery ,, for
rrar.y weeks, the senate has been in
a -1..W confinement and^nally deliv,
,, i -~r .f ' f another "water-head '
<i weighted down wil'n an appro-j
. .. _,,n ,f 1 1-2 million above that of'
the lower houM-. The game is to |
starve out again the economists and
then push through the located appropriation.
Our readers will remember
that we predicted this resuit when
the old standpat, fossilized senate
lenders were left ini the saddle.
To give the public a notion of the
dumb business methods employed
Just a few lines will prove it. There
ia first ark expensive and useless budget
committee. No attention is paid
to it. It is only a fifth wheel in order
to supply some fat and easy crumbs.
Next comes the ways and means committee
which goes over identically
the same ground for a month or
more. The serrate then takes charge,
ami picks the olid goose for another
six weeks.
What a good business man would
d<>, is get* them together from the
first, unravel the situation, place the
| two bills promptly, though not si?I
multaneously, pass it in short order,
| go home, and hear a good word front
their constituents for the first time
in many years.?CaLhoun Times.
