THURSDAY, AUGUST 22 t 1929. Every time we ffo tt> tfie beach we ^become more firmly convinced that men and women were NOT made In the Creator’s own image. w Because the president of a Brook lyn (N. Y.) bank had a carbuncle on Ida reek, the depositors started a “run” that did not stop until $2,000,- 000 had been withdrawn. And those are the guys that think “hicks” and “hick towns” are excruciatingly funny! The State points out the risk that automobile owners take when they in cite others or have others invite them- aelves for a ride. In case of an acci dent the owner is liable to a suit for damages on the part of his guest, which, says The State, is very much like a guest suing his host if the house burns down and the guest’s eye brows are sirged or his pajamas lost in the Are, or a member of the fair sex brings suit against her hostesr, if the salad made her sick. Perhaps it would be a good idea for car owners to require fellow passengers to sign an agree ment releasing them from any liabili ty in case of accidents. Pree Air Southern Banks and Wall Street. The Calhoun Times is considera bly exorciaed over the alleged practice of many Southern banks of lending morey in New York, where the stock •peculators have been paying a higher rate of interest than is obtainable locally. The Times charges that the attitude of the bankers has be^n that “local industries and business may go to the dogs for capital so long as the stock gambler can pay higher rates of interest.” Editor Cohn then quotes at length an article by a barker, J. R. GrseHdw. wfaicfc appeared |n the “United States Banker,” in support of hia contention. * The People-Sertinel does not know, of course, how grreral may be the practice that The Times complains of, but, as usual, thcic are two sides to the picture. WV do not believe that any banker worthy of the name will deliberately allow “local industries and business to go to the dogs” merely for the sake of getting a higher rate of interest elsewhere. To do so would be a very short-sighted policy indeed and would ultimately kill the goose that lays the golden egg, for after all the deposits of a community rep resent the money that a bank has to lend in addition to its capital stock, ard the former usually greatly ex ceed the latter. But here’s the other side of the picture: The local banker knows (or should know) local conditions inti mately. He knows when an applicant for a loan is a good risk and whether or not the bank is reasonably sure of getting back itg money. A bank is not a philanthropic institution ar.d no loan should be made to boost local industries unless it is backed by sound collateral. We have no doubt but that ary bank in ary town in South Carolina could lend every penny it has locally, but there is a serious question as to whether or not that would be a sound banking policy. When a bar.k has loaned locally all that it can, safely, then what? Surely The Times would not have it risk the depositors’ money on unsafe loare! Having taken care of legitimate local borrowers who cai.' furnish sound col lateral, isn’t it good business judg- mei.t to make loans/ to Wall Street when backed by sound collateral ? A s a matter of fact, isn’t it much better than to make unsound local loars ? PR*. Often heais complaints from would-be borrowers that this bark or that bank is “tight”—that a fellow can't get any “accommodation” there. Remember the howls that went up over the State a few years ago when one bank after another failed too many UNSAFE LOCAL had beer, made? Just put pipe ard smoke it: When certain class of borrow- iplaining about the lack of imodation” to be had at k>cal it is a pretty safe and sane that the collateral offered to the loan has been weighed in MPHi,—** • ad for Legal Advertisements j variety Notice to Debtors and Creditors Notice is hereby given to all persons holding claims against the estate of R.

Those who have had some experience with both kirds know. No, Brother Coh>., when a bank has taken care of all reasonable local loans, it cannot be charged with sacri ficing the interests of the community if it sees fit to lend money ir. New York or Hoboken. If the bankers profit by the lesson of the past few years, “safety first” will be their motto. In Other Sanctums A (tealure for the South Carolina Pre«H Aiwociation. If anywhere in the State ia yet to be found a Washington hand-press, the Press association might indulge a suitable and gracious gesture by pro- curirg its presentation to the Charles ton museum, for preservation in (ts collection of South Carolina culture specimens. Should the particular press there installed have special as sociations with jourralism in the State, so much the better. The last such press The State re calls t oting in current use for getting out a newspaper wa 8 utilized by the late Capt. John W. Holmes in the publication of Tlie Barr well People. Godfrey M. Hannan, who founded the Lexington Dispatch, and cor.timies fnore or less “in harness” with its suc cessor the Dispatch News, printed his paper on such a press during its first 13 years. Doubtless there are among the senior prirters in the State others who in their time have “pulled” a Washington. The Publishers’ Auxili ary is compiling a roster, country wide, of surviving “G. Wash Pullers” and sofar has registered 238 names. In prirciple and appearance the Washington press, introduced in 1829, did not greatly differ from that upon which Benjamin Franklir.i worked in London ir.i 1725 and which may be seen in the Patent Office in Wash ington. Jt had a stout wrought-iron frame; the power was applied by a lever through a toggle-joint; the “form” of type reposed on a bed which ran back and forth or. rails, being ac tuated by a hand-crank; and a sturdy, active operator, with a helper, could print 300 to 350 sheets, ‘on one side, in an hour, though 2,000 impressions in a working day was perhaps nearer the average. If a member of the Press association knows of a G. Washington press that might be eligible as a museum piece, a note to Secretary Harold C. Booker ii. Columbia 1 would perhaps initiate the gesture here suggested.—The State. er’s devil” at the age of 13. He served on occasions a trick at the lever of the old Washington hand press. It was, he says, hard back breaking work. The use of the Wash ington press was discontinued during the last few months of Major Holmes’ life, because the veteran negro press man had died and a competent suc cessor was rot available. Therefore The People was printed on the cylinder press of The Barnwell Sentinel until Mr. Davies bought the paper from the estate of Major Holmes ard in stalled a drum cylinder press. What became of the old Washirg-| ton hand press, which had been first utilised by the oM Charleston Mer cury, Mr. Davies explains by saying that he traded it in as part payjnent or the cylinder press, ard he under stood it waa to be rebuilt into a proof p/eas. He retaina the inking device, being a wooden cylinder, covered with lead and mounted in an iron frame. This particular press, by reason of its associational interest, would be, if obtainable, particularly eligible as the type of exhibit The State ventured to propose.—The State. Sanders—Harley. Olar, August 19.—Of cordial irter- est to a host of friends throughout the State is the ai nouncement of the marriage of Miss Lyra Sanders, of Barrwell, to Wilbur Harley, of near Olar. The ceremony was performed by the Hon. Johr K. Snelling on Satur day, August 10th, in the preserce of only a few close friends and relatives. Mrs. Harley has many friends in Barnwell, where she spert most of her life, whose best wishes follow her. Notice is hereby given that all per sons holding claims against the estate of E. W.
