THURSDAY, APRIL 1.1909.
Where Was the Bank Examiner?
Tbe fact that a shortage existed
in a bank in this county when the
State bank examiner had checked
K
up the affairs of the said iusti>
tutiou and failed to detect the
discrepancy, naturally suggests the
inquiry, Is the office of State bank
examiner a farce? This is a high
salaried office, supposed to be
filled by a competent man. Yet
we have right at our doors a
striking iustance of failure to protect
an institution under its su
pervision, and the promise of protection
in 6uch cases as this was
the excuse for the creation of the
office. Is it the fault of the man
or the system? This is a pertinent
question just now and we
wonld like to hear the bank examiner'S
explanation as to how he
checked up the affairs of the
i
Bank of Lake City and prouounced
them in a satisfactory condition,
when subsequent developments
bare shown that the bank was
short some thousands through a
defaulting clerk.
The Bank of Lake City is fortunate
in having back of it men
who will protect the interests of
their depositors and we have ab/solnte
confidence in their assurance
that the bank will continue doing
v?* '***' ' ?
business without loss to any one.

vbaak examiner for overlooking what
he is paid to find out.
[ - * tn mid ocean, en route to Africa^
jungles in search of "b i g
game," the Ex-President still seeks
the lime iight? being evidently
aided and abetted by his ubiquitous
ft press agent. The latest thriller in
the spectacular career of the
Strenuous One is an alleged attempt
to kill him. The "attempt"
rV appears mainly to have been wild
talk and the bloody (?) assassin a
: crazy Dago. The report of the
affair by the New York World's
1 correspondent states that "the incident
was known only to Mr
Roosevelt and a few passengers."
And the reporter, of course.
In his letter, published this
h Week touching up the State railB
road commission, our Harpers corR
respondent seems to be under the
I impression that the State pays
1/ the salary of these officials. Such,
B however, i3 not the case, as the
Br members of the commission a.e
elected by the Legislature and
the matter of compensation pass
ed up to the railroads that these
officials are supposed to regulate.
_ ... .
Ih? salary, we believe, is ?1,CJIH)
a year for each member and
some perquisites. Our Harpers
correspondent may take the view
that the commissioners are "tamed"
on the principle, "whose
bread I eat, his song I siDg,"
an expression that harks back
to the good old days of dispensary
graft.
The Bank of Lake City sets a
commendable example to the other
V
II
business interests of the county in
offering prizes for the three best
acres of corn produced in Williamsburg
county. With this substantial
encouragement, added to
the prizes offered by the State department
of agriculture, the farmers
of Williamsburg should enter
the competition with spirit and a
determination to win. Every farmer
in Williamsburg now has the
opportunity to win two prizes on
the same acre, one from the Bank
nf T^ik-e Cite and another from
the State.
Referring to the inquiry of our
correspondent from Monzou last
week, Senator Bass iuforms us
that uuder the present fish law
the "close season" is from sunset
Thursday until sunrise Monday,
and not from Saturday, 10 o'clock
p m, until Tuesday, after sunrise,
which our correspondent says
the game warden told him was
the prohibited interval.

Salters Depot, March 29:?Thursday
morning, between 3 and
o'clock, the wind that had beeu increasing
fer the last 24 hours assumed
a cyclonic nature and while
the rain fell in torrents the wind
twisted off large trees, blew down

etc, including the large two-story
blacksmith and carriage shops of Mr
W T Britton near town. This was
a severe loss, as several nice buggies,
etc,were destroyed. The worst of the
storm was done in an area about a
mile wide.
All the farmers in this section are
about ready to plant. Very little
corn has been planted as yet, but
farms are better prepared than ever
before and with a good crop year old
Williamsburg will make a bumper
yield.
Our old friend, Mr L B Datcher
of Chicago, after being away about
twelve months, is back again looking
after his large interests here. His
fuller's earth plant is a big success.
Mr J H L (/handler is spending a
few days in Sumter.
Miss Thompson of Leland,
III, is here on a visit to her brother,
Mr L T Thompson.
Mr H 0 Odom has rented the
farm of the late W Salters and will
planjt 80 acres of corn. Mr Odom is
one of the best farmers in the State
and it is supposed with good seasons
that he will average CO to 75 bushels
of corn per acre. A R M.

often; he had pains in the head

only the bristles in this solution, as
the water will loosen the glue off

CYCLONE STRIKES GIEELYYILLE.
Towo Hall aod Brick Works Destroyed
?Damage Will Exceed $10,000.
Greelyville, March 25:?The town
of Greelyville was struck by a cyclone
this morning at 4:15 o'clock.
The damage will probably exceed
$10,000. The Town Hall, the negro
Baptist and Methodist churches,
the negro Odd Fellows' hall, and the
Greelyville Brick Works were torn
to splinters; There were several
small negro cabins blown away or
set off the blocks, and chimneys
were blown down from several
houses, but there were fortunately
no lives lost. The path of the cyclone
as it came through the woods
was not over 50 feet wide, and in
the path there was not a tree left
standing.?News and Courier.
Here is a good one we heard
the other day: "The light of my
life has gone out," the heartbroken
young husband wrote on
his "dear departed's'' tombstone.
When he married again
the village wit thus amended
the epitaph: "But I have struck
another match."

Editor County Record:?
I am uow supplied with blanks
and instructions for making application
under the Garris act forbid to
weak schools. This act provides that
an amount double that raised by 'he
patrons by subscription or special
levy, will be appropriated by the
State to such schools as are not able
to run as long as 100 days from the
regular school fund, the amount ap
propriated by the State not to exceed
$100.
As I understand the law such
schools as levied a special tax for
for the present year can qualify
without raising a further amount,
ptovided the regular school fund is
not sufficient to pay teachers' salaries
, for 5 months. By the regular
school fund is meant the poll tax,
dog tax and constitutional tax, and
possibly the dispensary money.
It Beems to me that all our schools
that now levy a special tax should
1 profit by thia law. I hop^*Njll be
an incentive of other .v^""
1 a tax, that they may ^ ? by thi?
aid next year. f
