But there is advantage in the exchange plan in more than one way. For illustration, a person owes the bank $250,000. The bank holds his note for the same. He is unable at this time to pay the same and desires to pay it off at so much per pjonth. In order to gain the time necessary to payment without embarrassment to himself, he may, if he so desires, arrange with a friend or acquaintance to buy the note or exchange a dyosit for the same. In this case the bank a • . . . . would transfer the pete.to such a party. Either cash or deposits will be ac cepted for asset?, and a deposit as signment on any branch in the chain is good on any other branch.

Deposits now become negotiable, and through the use of regular as- ■signment forms which have been pre- pared and which will be furnished by the bank in any quantity desired, the depositor is enabled to make such use o< his money as he may desire. In this issue of The People-Sentinel appears a composite advertisement of a number of Barnwell merchants who will accept assigned deposits in ex change for merchandise or in pay ment of accounts, and other merchants ’-will probably join in the plan as has been inaugurated. The advantage of the use of assign ments is self-apparent. The merchant may himself owe the bank. His cus tomer owes him. The customer may assign any part of his deposit to the merchant, receiving therefor either nterchandie or credit on a debt, for instance. His deposit in the closed Ibank.thus becomes immediately avail- zibla to him to eupply himself with the necessities of life or to pay off his obligations. The merchant who nccepts the assignment in the course <of trade is likewise enabled to apply thef game on his indebtedness to the rtfabft.mfcrdiapt jJaeSuMi Williston, March 19.—Miss Mar garet Thompson, of New Brookland, was the week-end guest of her mother, Mrs. Susan Thompson.

ADVERTISE in The People-Sentinel Art Work Made Whole After Five Centuries Nearly five hundred years ago an artist, whose name is now unknown, painted a wonderful picture of the Annunciation. It was a large work and contained so much detail that shortly after It was finished it was cut up Into four separate pieces, each of which formed a beautiful picture. If you visit the exhibition* of French pictures at Burlington house, London, you may see the four portions of the picture reunited for the second time in five centuries. For years It was not known what had happened to three of the fopr pieces. One was in the Lohvre in Paris, but where wore the others? Eventually it was found that the* sec ond was in Amsterdam, the third? in Brussels, amj the fourth in a private collection in tills country. Photo graphs of the four parts were placed together, and these showed that they undoubtedly form one picture. * The first occasion since the artist painted It when the picture was seen as a whole was two years ago, when the parts were joined together at an ex hibition in Paris. _ _ _ . - • Other great pictures have been cut up In the same way, hut in nearly ev ery case the severed parts have even tually come into the same hands and have been permanently joined togeth er ngain.—‘London Tlt-BIts. Exercise of the Veto Traced to Roman Law t * # The use of the veto power by an ex ecutive of a state has un origin which has been traced back as far us the old Roman state, when the tribunes, by using tbe word “interdico,” wiiicb means “I Interdict," halted the legis lative sets of the senate. As far back us 1(H2 the veto (tower wag recognized in Poland by law, any member of the imperial diet being able to block legislation by proclaiming tbe Polish w«*rds which mean in substance *T do m>t allow.” The king of England has'tbe power of veto, but it Is a (tower to wtii -h re course has not been taken for gener ations. tbe lust instance on record be ing in 17t)7. The Constitution of this country also provides for the veto, hut the Presi dent’s (tower to veto Is limited In that It can.- lie overridden. Tlie veto by President JA-'kHon of the hill to re charter the bank of the Cnited State* Is one of the first on record. Claim# Long in Dispute French spoliation claims were de mands upon the United States govern ment by American merchants for losses of ships and cargoes between 17U3 and 1800 at the hands of the French, whose chief excuse for the depredations mas that the United State# had violate?! Its pledges to France under the treaty of 1778. By the treaty of September .TO. 1H00, and hy the convention of April .'10, ISOS, ('ranee released the United States from certain treaty obligations, and In retunL.wu* released ^rem paying the merchants’ claims. Between 1S00 and 1885 about fifty bills to reimburse the claimants or their dos?'cndants came before congress. Appropriations were twice vi>ted, but were vetoe?!. In 18S."» retires* was obtained wlieu the ad judication of tbe claims was given to the courts of claims, and decisions were reached awarding some $-1,800,• 000 to the petitioners. Wonderful Cheddar Cave# The caves of Cheddar and Wookey Hole are beautiful beyond words. Be neath the nigged slopes of Mendip, In a vast network of subterranean pass ages, may be seen stalactites and stalagmites of wondrous shape and color; translucent pools, crystal clear and cold, curtains of dazzling white ness, hanging folds of coral-pink—all hidden there in the Ice-cold depths, now lighted by electric light! The drive to the caves through Cheddar gorge is a remarkable experience. At the bottom of the steep road, in the little white village of Cheddar, a rush ing stream comes bubbling from the very heart of Mendip. At Wookey Hole, too, there are some wonderful caves. The story goes that the cives were once Inhabited by a witch who was turned into stone by “an ancient clerk of Glaston."—London Times. Sanctuary for Birds In the very densest part of Liver pool’s industrial life is a patch of green round, hy the cathedral. Here have been placed bird tables, baths, nesting-boxes, and shelters; and here, amid smoke and noise, hundreds of birds come every year to build their nests and rear their young. All the common birds. In addition to tits, great white-throats, yellow-hammers, and chiff-chaffs, have been noted, by the city naturalists, and Archdeacon Howson thinks it is tbe only sanctuary of Its kind In a great city.—London Mail. /CHEVROLET! r - You get the best Ci i CHEVROLET SERVICE from your Chevrolet dealer at the A for quality work Your Chevrolet dealer is in a better position than anyone else to give you quality work at lowest prices.

All that we ask is that you give us a chance to meet this competition before placing your orders elsewhere. Quite often buyers of printing are misled into thinking that our - l ^ prices are much higher than those of out of town concerns when in fact they are as cheap or cheaper. For instance, a customer was quoted a price on 2,000 billheads. He then asked us for a quotation on 1,000. Gur price was based on Hammer mill Bond paper in sin gle thousand lots, whereas the out of town concern quoted a price on a cheaper grade paper in lots of 2,000, plus postage to Barnwell. Naturally, our price for 1,000 billheads on a better grade of paper • ■» was higher, but we could have printed 2,000 on the cheaper grade at the price quoted by the out of town concern. - . . ’ . * - • - Remember that there are just as many different grades of paper and printing as there are grades of cotton and that the quantity « A ordered also governs the price. So don’t be misled when you are given a quotation that seems much lower than ours. And don’t expect us to print orders for 1,000 at the same rate per 1,000 based on quotations of 2,000 or more. And also remember that it pays to keep your dollars at home ^otherwise your home printer will not have any money to spend with you.^ MWnWWilltiinili'Miil II BARNWELL, X' SOUTH CAROLINA ?L. . / .V. .S. .S. vvvwww - * ‘X- t
