BANKS CAN St l?l'LY NEEDS. William* hays They arc Able to Meet All Reasonable Requirements. Washington. Aug. 8.?J. 8. Wil? liams, comptroller of the currency, in a statement tonight declared the fin? ancial situation of the country Is good and announced that national banks now are In position to meet all rea? sonable requirements: "I see no reason." said Mr. Wil? liams, 'why there should be any sus? pension'of currency payments any? where In this country, and If this de? partment hears of any national bank, rrtuning to honor legitimate demands' of Its customers or correspondents for currency such delinquent bank will be promptly Investigated." m Williams said shipments of ad? ditional currency up to the close of todas s business ha* amounted to1 I ?00.000.

At the lowest estimate it eeet ?ne cent per speech, and several th ...nand were probably sent out. Thut coat $30 postage, and additional foi i lerk hire, probably bringing the total to nearly $40. I'.t the past few days his adherents tti * hla county had the club rolls cop h i from the certified list In the clerk of <>urt's office and paid some of the workers one cent a word for copying the names. 4,676 names would cost tn und figures $46. and then they had a typewritten copy with two car? bon* made, raising the cost to at Irast $60 to get tho list of voters In thf county. < Mie list we* probably sent to Co lum'da, from which place a letter or eon ?? campaign circular will be sent in and which will cost $90 at tho rate of two cents per stamp, not ting anything for lal>or, station? ery or printing.

EUROPE'S GR FAT WAR. ? ??viel Starr Jordan In Iiis Recent Rook Folios Out Rangers to Peace In Internatioual Alliance. (From the Philadelphia Public Ledg? er.) The causes that might lead to a great European war are graphically pointed out in "War and Waste,' the recently published book from the pen of Dr. David Starr Jordan, Ameri? ca's distinguished peace advocutc. Dr. Jordan says: "What shall we say of the Great War of Europe ever threatening, even impending, and which never comes? We shall say that It will nover come. Humanly speaking, it Is Impossible. "Not In the physical sense, of course, for with weak, reckless and godless men nothing evil Is Impossible. It may be, of course, that some half erased archduke or somo harassed minister of state shall, half knowing, give the signal for Europe's confla? gration. In fact, the agreed sign il has been given more than once within the last fow months. The tinder is woll dried and laid In such a way as to make the worst of this catas? trophe. "Rehlnd the sturdy forms of the Bulgarian farmers lurks the sinister figure of Russian intrigue. Russia and Austria, careless of their neigh? bors, cureless of obligations, find in this their opportunity. And the na? tions of Europe in their degree are bound to one or the other of these malcontents. Neither Russia nor Aus? tria can be trusted to keep the peace even in her own interest, for both, through debt abroad and discontent at home, are In a condition of pcrpeutal crisis." I The armed forces of Europe In the event of a general war are thus tab? ulated by Prof. Charles Riebet, ot tho University of Paris: Austria.2,000,000 England.1.500,000 France.3,400,000 Germany. 3,600,000 Italy.-2.800,000 Roumanla. 300,000 Russia.7.000,000 Total.21,2<\),000 If these nations?supposed to be diplomatically concerned in the ques? tion of whether tho obscure Albanian petl of Durazzo shoula fall, to Servla or to Austria, neither of the two hav? ing the slightest claim to it?should; rush into the flKht, the expense would run at 150,000.000 a day, a sum to be greatly increased with the sure rise of prices. j "To all this," says Dr. Jordan, "we may add the horrors of the air, the cost of aeroplanes and of burning' cities which this monstrous abomi? nation of murder may render inhu-' manly possible. The nation which V'ses Instruments like these against ai sister nutlon can boast no advance over the red Indian and his scalping knife." HEARD IX SUMTER, How Bad Backs Have Been Made Strong?Kidney Ills Corrected. All over Sumter you hear It. Doan's Kidney Plhj are keeping up the good' work. Sumter people are telling about It?telling of bad backs made sound . again. You can believe the testimony' of your own townspeople. They tell iti for the benefit of you who are suffer- I lug.

Annual Political Meeting at Tlrznli Marred by Accidental Dentil. Yorkville, August 7.?The annual picnic at Tirzah, six miles east of Yorkville, was held today in connec? tion with the county campaign. The crowd was estimated at about throe thousand, une of tho largest that has assembled at this point during the 1 past several years. There were about i I thirty offices to be filled and there were sixty odd candidates, in j eluding twelve for the legislature I All the candidates for the legislature who were present made speeches to . day, as well as those seeking other i offices who cared to do so. By sou jcial invitation the Hon. H. F. Stev I euson, candidate for the seat of con? gress now occupied by Congressman Finley, made a speech, which was Well' received by the large crowd. Mr. Finley is still in Washington, being detained there by business. A sad and deplorable feature of the occasion was the accidental death t of Miss Bessie Hawkins, the cljn teen-year-old daughter of Bans Haw? kins, a propsperous farmer of this section. A pair of spirited young mules, driven by a brother of Miss Hawkins were attached to a phaeton, in which she, together with several younger brothers and sisters, were going to the picnic, and when almost in sight of the picnic grounds a mo? torcycle, ridden by John Cameron, a young white man, passed the team at a rapid rute, frightening it, causing It to shy. The young lady either jumped or was thrown to the ground, falling on her head and fracturing her skull, dying shortly afterwards. An Inquest was held and Cameron' was held responsible for the victim's death, and was ordered by the cor? oner to be committed to jail, but hasj been released on f?OO bond. None; of the other occupants of the vehicle were injured. Two Weeks' News from Itocky Muff. Rocky Bluff, Aug. C.?The long drought has been broken at last. We have been having light rains for over a week now, but in some places it came too late to do cotton or old corn any good. Some farmers say that both cotton and corn are cut off a fourth and in some places a third. With the low price of cotton and the price of everything we have to buy so high the farmers are getting blue. There were a few who planted to-> bacco in place of cotton and thcyj have nothing much to worry about. j Among thoso who attended the i meeting at Plsgah two weeks ago were Mr. W. F. Baker and family,, Mrs. Florence Crclghton, Miss Kate1 MeLeod, Messrs. John McLeod, Clin? ton Jones, M. E. Capell, C. L. Baker i and Eugene Josey. All of them re? ported a line meeting.

BANKERS HOLD MEETING. Want to Get Cheaper Money to Loan to Farmers on Crops. At a meeting yesterday afternoon at which all of the banks in the city wero represented, it was decided to send a delegation from Sumter to Washington to see Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller Williams with a view towards getting money in Sumter to aid the farmers to hold or move their crops, as necessity demands. The banks of Sumter are all in a flourishing condition and have done and are doing a good business this year, the present step being taken in the interests of the farmers. The committee appointed to go to ! Washington to confer with the secre ! tary and comptroller of treasury con ! sists of Messrs. Nelll O'Donncll, ; res ? Idcnt of the F:rst National *ank; I Gco. L. Kicker, cashier of the Cit> 1 National bank, and Bernard Manning, ! cashier of the Bank of Sumter. Be j sides these Mr. C. G. Rowland will make the trip to Washington. I Last year the government lent out I sums of money to various banks j throughout the south and west for the purpose of aiding the farmers in ' moving their crops. Sumter was not among those cities which got some of I I this money and efforts here to secure some of the funds from other banks in the State in order to lend it to the i farmers were unsuccessful, for it ' could not be obtained at a rate of In? terest so that it could be handled by [the local banks. The committee of bankers from here will set this mat? ter before the secretary of the treas? urer and will endeavor to secure mon? ey from the government at the same rate of Interest it is being loaned to other banks, two per cent. The com? mittee will leave Tuesday. MOWS FROM EGYPT/ Drought Broken at Lust?Social Ac? tivities.
