•ent these words, “What hath God
wrought,” from one point to another
over a thin strand of wire through
the medium cf an electro-magnet.
The experiment was acclaimed
throughout the civilized world for
the miracle that it was.
Saturday night millions of people
sat by another miracle of science—
the radio—and heard a description cf
how “the Century of Progress Expo-
aition” at Chicago was literally
“hitched to a star’’ and its feeble
light rays, greatly amplified, used to
throw an electric switch that lighted
the exposition buildings and the vast
grounds. *
- Astronomers tell us that Arcturus
is a bright orange star that glows in
the summer sky in the constellation
of Bootes. In size it dwarfs our own
■un by 25 times. It ia called a neigh
bor of the sun, for hardly 100 stars
are closer, but even so it is 225 mil
lion million miles distant. That is 40
“light years.” Light travels at the
rate cf 186,000 miles a second, so that
if we had a machine that could trave
with the speed of light it would take
us 40 years to reach Arcturus. Such
fpeed anti distances are incompre
hensiblc to the human lay mind.
Saturday night at four great obser
vatcrie*—Harvard, Allegheny, Ur
bania ami Yerkea—telescopes were
focused on the p»n prick of light. At
a given signal from Chicago the
speck of light was allowed to fall on

Barnwell, R. F. D., May 29.—John
A. Mon is died at his home near
Barnwell at four o’clock Wednesday
morning, following an attack of heart
trouble. Although he had been in de
clining health for several months, the
news of his death was a great shock
to his wide circle of friends.
“Cousin John,” as he was affec
tionately called by everybody, ‘was
bocn November 11th, 1876, and was
one of Barnwell County’s best loved
men and farmers. He was a very re
markable man in many respects and
numbered his friends among those
in every walk of life. He was a loyal
member of the Friendship Baptist
Church, in which he held the position
of Clerk. He was cf a charitable dis
position and never turned a deaf ear
to appeals to aid a worthy person or
cause. In short, he embodied the
! true ihairacterisics of a ChrLtian and
his absence will be felt keenly in the
church, the heme and the community.
His body was laid to rest Wednes
day afternoon at five o’clock, the
funeral service* being conducted by
his pastor, the Rev. D. W. Heckle.
Mr. Morris is survived by his
widow; seven son?, J. B., B. F., L. B.,

Japanese or Siam currency or gold.

P. A. PRICE, Manager.
while some bankers had been incompe
tent or dishonest, this was not true in
the vast majority of our banks. A sit
uation should exist in which there is
not even a small miTjority of bankers
open to question.’^There should be no
room for dishonesty or incompetency
to exercise any influence in banking
anywhere.
“White bad faith and bad manage
ment enter the human factor in all
types of business, their effects in bank
ing should be surrounded by such spe
cial safeguards as to render them no
longer a factor in bank failures. The
resi>onsibUity for bringing this ahbut,
however, cannot rest upon the bankers
alone, for the. means to accomplish it
are not wholly in their hands. There
are other essential elements.
“One is the efficiency of government
supervision. Since we rely so greatly
upon supervision, it may, unless it is of
the highest order in safeguarding the
public interest, create a sense of false
security. Supervision should render
bad banking impossible, but it has
failed to do so. There was super
vision by presumably the highest type
of bank supervisors in every one of the
instances of questionable banking that
has shocked the attention of the coun
try during the past three years. There
fore a thorough strengthening of super
vision is clearly called for If the people
are to rely on it to the fullest extent
for the protection of their Interests.
Th* Public’s Part
“Another essential factor In main-
tsintng good hanks involves the part
played by the public in banking. There
is certainly a responsibility on the peo
ple themselves to support that type of
banker whose rigid adherence to sound
principles tntkes a sound bank, rather
than to give their patronage to the easy
golaj banker who may he easier to do
business with, but whose methods cre
ate s weak hank. •
"Bank customers are charged with a
great responsibility in'protecting tha
safety of their batiks in reepect to their
utilization of the assets of the banks as
borrowers. Banks have failed because

hanker. A bank is only as sound as its
community, and this applies also to tha
wnn | N4 n* < hale to r* ,u-
tlon to the economic condition of the
nation as a whole.
**A bank is truly a semi-public insti
tution. hut in a reciprocal sense—it has
its obligations to the public, but so has
the public equal obligation*! to the
bank. No one who has not sounb bank
ing principles at heart has any business
In a bank whether as a banker or aa
a customer.
"The banker is a semi-public servant.
He is charged with the heaviest of re
sponsibilities and obligations that occur
in our economic life. But he can meet
these fully only through the coopera
tion of good laws, good public officials
who are empowered to exercise au
thority over his bank, and good busi
ness methods on the part of business
men generally who utilize his bank.
Only through such cooperation by all
elements in our nation's community Ufa
can we be aseured of a failure-proof
banking structure.
“The Administration at Washington
has taken hold of this problem with a
Arm grasp of essehlTals and is exefell
ing splendid leadership toward the de
sired end. The strangest feature of the
government program will be found in
recognizing the joint responsibility of
the public, of business and of govern
ment officials together with the bankers
themselves in creating the kind of
banking the nation should have.’’

made during the six weeks the cows
