ASK MONEY TO MOVE CROPS. Spartanburg Banks Expect Usual Demand. Spartanburg, July 17.?In reply to . certain questions submitted to them f by Secretary McAdoo of the federal treasury department, in reference to the government's loan or si.ouu.uuu to be used this fall in moving the crops of the South and West, head officials of the national banks of this city concur that the usual strong demand for money at the crop movement season will be experienced this year and they placed a bid for $250,^ 000 of the loan fund if the treasury deemed it advisable. ^ It will be recalled that Spartan? burg's allotment of the $1,000,000 loan fund last season wos $250,000. This assistance relieved a tense condition. The bankers of the city suggested to Mr. McAdoo that the money for ^ cities of the State. They suggested with the banks of the five larger icties of the State. They suggested that Columbia and Charleston each be given $400,000 or $500,000, and to Spartanburg, Greenville and Anderson $250,000 each. The following were the questions L submitted by Secretary McAdoo and the answers as expressed by one of the banks of the city: "1. Will there be any unusual dey mand for money in your section in the fall? % "Answer. There will be the usual increased demand due to financing F the crop movement, but we expect no i unusual demand as compared with F t the same season of previous years. [ "2. Could the banks of your seeto tion take care of the increased de T**onH their own resources and f with th% assistance of their banking connections. "Answer. The banks with their resources and with the assistance of banking connections could probably 1 care for the demand, but assistance from the government would relieve the usual heavy demands made on outside banks. "3. Would a deposit of money in your section be beneficial, and, if so, how much should be deposited in this State and how distributed? "Answer. The money for South Carolina should be deposited in the five larger centers, namely, Charleston, Columbia, Spartanburg, Greenvile and Anderson. The first two cities might be granted $400,000 to J $500,000 and to each of the others $250,000." * ^ ^ THE QUIET HOUR. * ?? What to Read?Keep This in Your Bible.

During a political campaign a candidate for the legislature was driving r through the country seeking votes among the farmers when he met a * young man in farmer's garb walking by the roadside. Having in his mind a prospective vote, he stopped his horse and, saluting the farmer in a familiar manner, inquired: "Are you paying any attention to politics nowadays?" The young man stopped, looked at him suspiciously and drawled out: "'No, stranger; that don't happen to be my gal's name, but if it was I would not think it was any of your business." This ended the interview as well as v the process.?National Monthly. ^I LAWYER ASKED TO EXPLAIN. J. A. Willis, of Barnwell, Ordered to Show Cause. Columbia, July 19.?J. A.

Sumter, July 16.?A most unusual unique coincidence here yesterday evening was the departure on the same train of five newly married couples for their honeymoon trips Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Moses, who were married in Manning, made the trip to Sumter in a car and left for a six weeks' trip West. Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Rose left for a trip to points North immediately after their marriage here and Dr. and Mrs. Warren Burgess, who were married in Georgetown, changed trains for a trip to the mountains of Western North Carolina. These upon their return will make their home here. Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Tavel, who were also married here, left for Tallulah Falls, Ga., and will make their future home at Atlanta. The other couple came from Bishopville by car and took the train for a trip to the mountains of North Carolina. MORE CHILDREN IX MILLS. Inspectors Give Statistics on Cotton Mill Help. Columbia, July 17.?The following report, with statistics, was to-day given out by the State department of agriculture, commerce and industries: . The State factory inspectors have completed the first regular rounds of inspection of all of the cotton mills in the State, and have compiled from their report cards the following interesting information: A glance at the report shows the conditions at the mills at the actual date of inspection, these inspections being made between the months of February and July. The report shows a decrease of 872 white males, while there has been an increase of 23 white females, 376 negro males and 46 negro females. Though there has been an increase of 163,108 spindles and 1,830 looms it is noted that there has been a decrease in the total number of operatives of 427. These figures would indicate that the mills are installing modern labor-saving machinery, and that there is a further tendency to change from coarse to fine goods. With this increase in spindles there has been a gradual increase in children between the ages of 14 and 16 years, an increase of 51 white boys and 104 white girls, and an increase of 17 negro boys and 10 negro girls. Between the ages of 12 and 14 years we find an increase of 136 white boys and 56 white girls, with an increase of 6 negro boys and 6 negro girls. The inspectors, although they have had to make several prosecutions for the violation of the child labor law, report a spirit of good co-operation between the mill managers and themselves. The general sanitary conditions have been improved, and a number of mills are starting new welfare work. Recovers Old King. Washington, July IS.?.Mrs. Rosa Kenney Winston, of Windsor, X. C., has just received from Secretary Daniels a ring which her father lost on the historic ship Constellation at the close of the War Between the Sections. Mr6.

The Jaffa-Jerusalem railway, last year, carried nearly two hundred thousand passengers and nearly fifty thousand tons of freight. CRITICIZED THE GOVERNOR.
