Don't Hoard Your Money.
There is a disposition among
eome persons unversed in business
procedure and not familiar
with present conditions, to criticize
Southern bankers for not
making freer advances to farmers
on th?ir cotton. The fact that
baoks, from New York to San
Francisco and from Chicago to
New Orleans, have had to issue
clearing bouse certificates is sufficient
explanation w by banks,
neither in the South nor el6e*
where, have been lending no mon?y.
Conditions from this time forward
will improve steadilj, but
the farmeis themeselves can help
N
effectively. There is too much
currency in stockings and pocketbooks.
The banks need that
money to lend individuals that
need it The farmer that sells
two bales o? cotton and carries
home forty dollars to lock up is,
in effect, prevenfcng the bank in
his court house town from making
an advance of $40 to some
other farmer who has cotton in
the local warehouse. And he is
forcing the bank in his conrt
house town to press some other
farmer for the payment of his
note. That pressure forces the
debtor to sell his cotton at a
sacrifice. If every dollar was in
the banks, where it is far safer
than in stockings, cupboards or
pocket-books, the banks would be
better able to extend accommodation
to all that wish advances
on their cotton, and better able
to extend the time of payment
to borrowers whose cotton is
tbei r secu ri ty. ? The State.

In another column will be
noted an offer of twenty-five dollars
reward by the town of
Kingstree for the arrest with
proof to convict of the party or
parties who on last Monday night
destroyed seventeen street lamps.;
This act of vandalism is witnout
excuse and it is to be koped
that the guilty person or persons
will be found out and dealt wjth
according to the gravity of the
offence. The seventeen lamps
destroyed cost the town sixtyeight
dollars, we understand, and
the tax-payers, already over-burdened,
have to go down info their
pockets to buv more lamps. Such
doings must be considered "fun",
by the malefactors, but when it
comes to wanton destruction of
property the element of fun is:
eliminated from the equation and
what is left looks like malicious
mischief.
