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000 had been withdrawn.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 ?

Notice to Debtors and Creditors.
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.

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.
