There are numbers of well-to-do and a few wealthy men in the Btate, but they are a minority of the whole people. Of thc 725,000 white people, at least 300,000 are poor. About 125,000 are wage earners and tenants and the. 150,000 who live in their own homes are, for the most part, poor. The public debt of South Carolina, however, has been reduced to about $6,000,000. That is not a large debt. With a few years of prosperity the state would be in financial condition io go forward. It would be possible to improve our school and college sys tem rapidly, so that we might hope to get away from our unenviable place as the next to thc most illiterate state1 of the forty-eight. It would be pos sible to build better, roads, to spend money for tho intelligent protection of the public health-gradually to move up abreast of tho more fortunate commonwealths. One of the great ad vantages that we should have, in fu ture, is freedom from a heavy public debt If We conclude, however, to Issue bonds and with them to buy cotton worth seven cents or less in the open market, we take thc risk of increasing the state debt to $25,000,000 or $30. 000,000. We are minded, by the way, of a small group of men who own Bharas in cotton mills, worth intrin sically one hundred cents or more on the dollar, and they wish tho state, while issuing bonds, would give them thirty per cont more than market j value for their shares. Really, they have lost millions of dollars in these shares, but li the state would become a bidder for them, perhaps their mar ket price would rapidly rise. Of course South Carolina's purchase of cotton might "bull" cotton prices. In case.the cotton should not be sal able at ten cents a pound, tha people would be saddled with ? great debt. Public debts are seldom paid. A mort gage on a state is only foreclosed by ' an army wltb big guns. Public debts, when they mature, are refunded-that | is, the bonds are renewed. Who be lieves that a new ten million or twenty .milinn dollar bond issue would be paid in ten, in twenty, or in forty years? To what example of tho pay! of the principal of such a debt can one point? Of courae we can borrow money, from ourselves, by issuing bonds for cotton, to recoup the losses on cotton In 1014-and wo can repeat the pro cess in 1915, if we choose. For the time, we sLiiU'^, Ipr doing so, be a great deal happier. We should simply spend the proceeds of a mortgage that our children and ' children's children would stagger under. The question is, would the Issue of the bonds and pur chase .of the cotton at ten cents a pound make the cotton worth ten cents a pound?-The State. HAPPINE8S.

That the rftne?s did apoear is certulnly a fact is Mr. Broadwell is ready to testify, fbe people prosecuting the negro lappcncd to bo Russian-Jews and vhen Mrs. ll. Brodie took tho stand LS thc principal witness for the pro lecut'c.p ttic magistrate threw up lila tandi*, und yelled for water. Thc vornan could not speak a single word if English and hftr mixture o' R?3 lian and Yiddish was something hoi - iblo to hear. Magistrate Broadwell lardly knew whether to ?ilnk Bhe vas nilling facts about the case or ?pressing her opinion of his dignity ind the manner tn which he conduct id court. Oie or two of the attor ?oys in toro-, ed in the case, proud ol heir linguistic ability, attempted te lolve a part of what the witness was isylng, but proceeding with express rain rapidity, and talking with her land:', and eyes as much as she did ter. mouth, no ?two men could have ?nderstood what she was trying to tay. In desperation Magistrate Broad* veil sent for B. Hillman, who under itands the language and with his dd Ute court was-oblo to get to the ?ottom ot the affair. It seems that he negro woman. Amelia Jackson, ls an ployed on thc plantation of the brodie's and she decided a few days go that she could borrow the Brodie ?mle and have sorqe fire wood haul itt up to her houso.
