Bonds as Security?Imperial Government Can Buy Munitions of War or Musical Instruments. German-Americans in the United States have subscribed to a loan of $100,000,000 for the imperial German government, according to an announcement which will appear today in The American Lutheran Survey of Columbia. That such a loan has been raised, principally in the West and Middle West, is contained in a Washington letter to The Survey from Frederick A. Johnson, its correspondent. The Survey article says in part: "The German loan was not put through in New York city, although the agents who negotiated it are Wall street men, Messrs. Zimmerman and Forshay. "They worked in the West, and were assured of the cooperation of the large banking concerns of Chicago, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Denver, Milwaukee. St. Paul and other business tnd banking centres. The brokers for the (ler'iian government put down a plain business proposition from the outset. "They -aid that they wanted to tret -id riber< for a $100,000,000 loan. As security they would give bonds paying 5 per cent interest, said interest o b< payable January and July 1 of each year. "The bonds are all printed and ready for delivery October 15, whereas the Knjjlish-French commission haggled ahout the inter st, and the discount, until finally they became desperate, and practically allowed the American bankers to dictate their own terms. "On the other hand, the Zimmerman n and Forshay brokers offered to the Western bankers a bond for $210 payable in 1,000 (human marks, which would make a mark equal 81 cents. The actual value of a German mark is, or was at the breaking out of the war !?0 cents. These German bonds are payable on or before 1921, whereas the I'ritish-French loan was to run a quarter of a century. "There are no restrictions whatever placed on the German loans. The government can buy ammunitions and implements of war, wheat, corn, automobiles or musical instruments." The State. Lots of people actually believe that their troubles are interesting to others.

AL5 I I CRAM) JURY'S PRESENTMENT. To His Honor, Judge John S. Wilson, Presiding Court of General Sessions, Fall Term, 1915. We, the grand jury, beg to report that we have passed upon all bills handed to us, and have made our returns upon the same. Our committee has inspected the various county offices and found that each and every officer is keeping a neat record and we believe they are performing their duties in an efficient manner. We recommend that the Sinkinir Fund Commission in the fu ture make their published reports of condition in a more detailed form so as to be more easily understood by the publie. We found that, the court house premises are in a bad condition and we recommend that the grounds he cleaned at once and be kept clean. Our committee to investigate the county dispensaries found everything in good shape. Our commitee to inspect the chainI gang report that it was found to be in good condition; the convicts are well cared for and the camps are in good condition. The same committee visited the jail and report that it iin need of the following items and repairs, namely: Four (1) radiators, twenty-four (21) blankets and one toilet; the upper floor should be of concrete and the interior walls should be whitewashed. We recommend tin same. j Our committee on the poor house i report that the inmates are properly j cured for and the premises and farm I Mi e 111 good snap<-. I Here arc sore I" to 'JO acres of waste land and \v | think this should ho utilized to produce more supplies for the inmates and '-haingang. We recommend that I the chaingang lahor lie used to pre- j pan- this land during the winter sea-j -on instead of hiring outside help I and th -rohy enable the county to produce a greater anrmnt of supplier for the ehaingang without extra expense. This would still leave a few acres for pasturage. We further recommend that the poor house teams he used for hauling lumber and other| material for the county when they are not needed on the farm. We heartily endorse Mr. M. M. Wilhurn, th*? present superintendent. We further recommend that the magistrate's hooks he turned over to the supervisor once every three months and checked up. We have found that some of these hooks are not being kept properly and we recomend that the supervisor when checking up the hooks instruct the magistrates as to the proper manner in which to keep their records. We fitj*l that some magistrates have susnended fines and it is our understanding 'hat this is not in accordance with the law. dr Jf BE Boo; ':%fK SO BOO CO!

Carlisle has re' reived from Judge Samuel D. Weak} ley, ex-chief justice of the supreme ' court in Alabama, letters indicating " that the distinguished justice agrees 5 that the gallon-a-month law operating in South Carolina is constiutional. Accompanying the letters Judge Weakley sent newspaper clippings and printed opinions of the Kentcky cases and others which were cited in reading an opinion in the case. Alabama has a law similar to the one operating in South Carolina which the supreme court of that State has held as constitutional. Some days ago the Journal secured from Senator Carlisle an opinion as to the ronstituf ionnlifv ?f tho Wi VHC mUIUIla-month law, of this State, which was widely reprinted by other papers. In that opinion Senator Carlisle held that the law was constitutional, thus disagreeing with Judge Gary who filed an opinion that the law was unconstitutional. Senator Carlisle has received several other letters of concurrence to his opinion. TIm Quinine That Doee Not Affect The Head Because of tta tonic and laxative effect.
