W.W.BALL| Proprietor. IiAUBEMS, 8. C?. Aug. 22, 1898. Concerning Stock. In these days when the dollar is skittish and prone to seek the cool sequestered nooks of bank and safe deposit vaults, we the people are impressed with what a dear de. llghtful thing iscredir. In somo respects it is surpassed in personal appearance by cash, of the hot and spot varieties, but the fact lingers that for a boon companion to chum with In* season and out, at home and abroad, credit is altogether agreeable. Credit does not inhabit the South ern States in flocks. It is a rare bird. It settles hero and once in a while, there, but as a general thing its dwells in Nothern latitudes. There is no reason in the nature of things why credit should not bo found In large quantities In those parts but the explanation of its absence Is plain. Gredit docs not thrive whore there is'ot plenty of collateral and that's what's the matter with the Hannah's in Dixie, Theso capitalistic chappies in the North despise to lend mony on land and they don't do it. It takes time to sell land, it is troublesome to dispose of, it can't be handled last. It is too unwieldy a lever to attempt to raise money with ex cept with "great deliberation.'' Land ownership has been a curious, and perplexing thing since Adam's title to that handsome place of real estato betwixt the Tigris and Eu phrates became clouded. There fore your yankeo Croesus eschews mortgnges If there is a certificate of stock waiting to be pledged. When he wants money ho wants it quick and that is why he seldom lends it unless on some security that is available as an asset at a. moment's notice. Southorn people should accumu late "collateral." Farmers ought to make it a point to take stock in manufacturing enterprises. Thoy should buy shares in banks too but more banks aro not so badly needed as aro more factories. If the man who succeeds in paying for a two horso farm would then buy a few hundred dollars worth of good fac tory stuck before trying to purchase all the land adjoining his place ho would be gloriously independent. When the pinch came, ho would step up to the cashier, turn over his securities, get the desired ac commodation and escape the hu miliation of having a dozen friends decline to endorse his note. Our people are rich in land. The Advertiser believes that the time is coming when land will pass by assignment just as does building and loan or railroad or other stock and that titles will be universally cleared. To effect such a reform in the laws will require the tearing away ot the prejudice of a hundred generations but it is coming for the reason that there is nothing grounded in common sense to prevent it.. But it is a weary way off. For the present, stocks must remain the basis of credit and every man should have a supply. In periods of financial depression they aro the life preservers of bus iness. The idea of hardworking farmers buying .stocks may be laughed at but it is not ridiculous. Hundreds of farmers do save money and make Investments but the notion among them is that there is noth ing to buy except land. If that no tion could bo rooted out, It would bo easier to build cottton mills, our industries would bo diversified and the country's wealth would bo multiplied. A close calculation shows the numbor of officials under the Dis pensary law to be five hundred at an average t>. nual salary of $500. A neat little army of Knights of the Carolina Oocktail! A neat little sum of a quarter of a million J "Make me clerk of the Irons, let me survey the meltings, lot me live upon the fruits of other men's industry, and fatten upon the plunder of tho public." The lust session of our legisla ture of thirty days was not a good session for creating offices; this fall it may last sixty days?one thous and places can be added; and we have thou twenty-five hundred Stato and county officials; multiply this by twenty, which Is an easy sum, and every mother's son of us has an office Let tho financial crisis roll; who's afraid? Augusta has sent a magnificent train to Chicago with dodgers enough to pave the city, bunting by the million yards, and bands upon bands of music, and Governor Till muri aboard, alt to advertise her autumuul show. Uraphl ''Georgy" knows how to value our Governor. While the Virginia Democratic convention was in session it was circulated that Gray Gables had a new master and jubilant congratu lations were sent. It was all a hoax, and Kr?nkln was out yacht ing. Hut O'Ferrall was nominated for Governor, all the same. Oov. Tillmao as tho tall to the I Augusta Kite at Chicago had a re ception and made a speech. He assumed the roll ot seer and prophesied that Chicago would be the biggest town on earth. He spoke of having* to travel a thous and miles to "get thar" and ex pressed some surprise at the big ness of this country, He apologized for South Carolina not being rep resented, but the apology Is not given. If he had read from "Shell's Manifesto" written by himself all would have been plain. The News and Courier takes solace over some half dozeu Caro linians, who are doing great honor to thin Slate as gato keepers and the like and drawing big salaries at Chicago, contributing by their talents to tho success of that show. The State needs no exhib ition of her resources other than these Incomparable representa tives. Still strangers might say of the State, as was said of Mrs. John nie Gilpin: "Though on pleasure bout, 8he lias a thrifty mind." * Mr. T. Cartlege, a Columbia "Dis penser" and member of Marion Street Methodist church was ex pelled on Sunday last under tho law of tho church forbidding tho manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage. The vote of the members was unanimous. Other dispensors In the State, in cluding State Dispenser "Traxler," are likely to encounter trouble With thoir churches. It is curious to read tho Press dispatches on the siiver-on-the tongue oratory at Washington. There has been nothing like It since Demosthenes twitted Philip of Macedon. Argument, learning, logic, wit, humor, fancy, Imagi nation, buncombe, humbug. ? The Senate halted In its great de bate to pass a bill to pay mileage to (he present session. But, did the Senators pay their score like honest gentlemen, or dead beat their way liko arrant tramps? See? Tho indications are that Congress will arrive at a compromise of the financial problems that will restore confidence and give relief from the present strain, "If 'twere done, when 'twere done, then 'twere well 'twere doue quickly." Qov. Tiilman has applied to tho Commissioner of Patents at Wash ington to have the Great Seal of South Carolina as a trado mark for his whiakoy monopoly. "Free trade and no monopoly" is true Democracy. ' Who are freeholders is giving trouble. A poor fellow liviug in a rented house, according to the Tiilman Legislature, is disfran chised ou the liquor question. Did tho 'Iti8tocratic Ringsters do this thing? Subsidiary coin gives entire sat isfaction here just now. Let Con gress settle the currency of the future.. Southern banks are sound and it is said will bo able to furnish cur rency to raovo the coming cotton crop. Senator Irby's friends advise him not to answer Jim Tiilman. It was the same with Job. Virginia has her hoax as well as Georgia. Double trouble?offices won't go round; cash is short. . There is more catarrh In this sec tion of the country than all other diseases put together, und until the laat few years was supposed to be incurable. For a groat many years doctors pronounced it a local dis ease, and prescribed local remedies and by constantly falling to cure pronounced it incurable. Sclenco has proven catarrh to bo a consti tutional disease, and therefore re quires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by P. J. Choney&Co., Toledo, Ohio, Is the only constitntional euro on tho market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea spoonful. It acts directly on tho blood and mucous surfaces of the system. Thoy offer ono hundrod dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address P. J.

Senner, United States Commissioner of Immigra tion, has prepared an article on "Tho Issue of tho German Election" for the August number ol tho North American Review.

They aro taught iudustrious habits. They aro sent out equipped for life's buttle and able to care for themselves. To provide them with food and raiment and to give them all this instruction costs money; an ave rage of $90 per annum covers everything. The wholo support of tho institution comes from tho gifts of the charitable. Charleston peo ple havo done much and will do more for this orphanage. A num ber of Charleston orphans aro among its inmates. It is a good work. It deserves the considera tion of the benevolent.?News and Coutler.
