That was a regular love feast th
ex-governor had when he spoke a
the negro college opening the othe
day in Columbia. The ex-governoi
says a newspaper account of th
speech, "boasted of having voted t
Pgive Geo. W. Murray the seat in cor
gress over Gen. E. W. Moise.
f - "But," says the Sumter Watchma:
, and Southron, he "neglected to stat
that he also when governor issued
pardon to Murray, who was a fugitiv
|fc from justice under sentence to th
penitentiary for forgery, the crim
p having been committed by Murra
H for the purpose of defrauding an
fc- other negro who had purchased
|r tract of lgfld from him."

I might be stated that Darlington is 1c
KI& cated in a low and flat country, an
has as'many ditches and ponds a
Bamberg has. Here is how it cam
about that the town has no mosqui

patch from Darlington:

IESp*:- ' The facts about Mr. McLaurir
* ?
State warehouse commissioner, bein
"persuaded" to withdraw his threal
- ened resignation and remain as con
missioner are beginning to come on
Mr. D. McQueen, of Bennettsvilh
was one of those present at the meel
ing of the executive committee. A]
ter the holding of this meeting Mi
McLaurin announced that he ha
been persuaded to remain as con
missioner. Other than Mr. McQueer
who s?iys that he advised Mr. McLai;
rin at the meeting to resign at onc<
there were present Mr. McLauri
himself, John K. Aull, Mr. McLau
inn"s private secretary (obviously h
:: V had no voice in the meeting); W. A
i' " Stuckey, and G. A. Guignard, wh
was proxy for Senator Banks. Lea\
ing out Mr. McQueen, who did nc
|p assist in persuading McLaurin to sta
on; Mr. McLaurin, who would not b
supposed" to persuade himself to re
main; and Mr. Aull, who had n
| voice in the meeting, we find onl
two remaining, Mr. Stuckey and Mi
\ Guignard, and the latter is not
member of the executive committee
' being present only in the capacity o
a proxy. Narrowed down to its las
% i analysis, we find that Mr. W. A
Stuckey must have been the persuad
ing power that saved the State b
keeping Mr. McLaurin on the jot

association which was called to mee
in Columbia on the evening of Sep
tember 26th to consider the resigna
tion of Senator John L. McLaurin a
warehouse commissioner. Soni
members of this committee were no
present. The only persons presen
were Senator McLaurin, John K. Aull
W. A. Stuckey, G. A. Guignard (wh<
was proxy for Senator J. A. Banks)
and myself. In the committee I en
dorsed Senator McLaurin's work a
warehouse commissioner, but open
iy, in the committee, denounced hi
recent political activities and sait
that he had endangered the ware
house system by drifting it into .poll
tics. I also stated that I believed i
would be for the best interest of tin
warehouse system for him to resigi
at an early date. In this day of bit
ter factionalism, when the people o
s the State are almost eq,ually dividec
into opposing factions, it is a fata
fc* '
'
feeI;
mistake for the head of the State j
I warehouse system to endanger the ,
system by launching into factional :
= politics.
I make this statement so that my ;
q friends may understand clearlv where
a | I stood, and not for the purpose of
_ making any apologies for endorsing
o- John L. McLaurin as warehouse j
t commissioner. It is my opinion that, !
k 'with the little cooperation received!
a from the State government and othery
wise, that he has made good with the j
1 warehouse system, and as long as he !
e will attend to that exclusively, leav- ;
. ing out political activities and fights.
it is my belief that he will make ;
; good.

t, BANKS IN FINE SHAPE.
J1 Consolidated Statement Given Out by
[_ State Bank Examiner.
y
s The condition of the 317 State
d banks and branches jn South Caro-I
^ lina at close of business on Septem- j
x ber 12 indicated a decided increase
5. in business over that of one year ago. j
Loans show an increase of over four
milliop dollars, while the banks have
[. borrowed two and a half million dolg
lars less than in 1915. Cash reserve
also shows an increase of over four
6 million dollars. The biggest ine
crease, however, is in deposits, which
show a total increase of eleven mil["
lion dollars over last year, or a gain
r of over 30 per cent. Despite the fact
n that the total capital of State banks
e in South Carolina has decreased in
" the past few years, due to some banks
- nationalizing, total deposits are highj
er than they have ever been at this
- season of^tl^ year.
