BIG GERMAN LOAN
AMOUNT IS $100,000, SAYS A
CHURCH PAPER.
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.
If some people would take the trouble
to conceal what they think they
would he more popular.

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.

We further recommend that each j !
and every township commissioner in
the future make an itemized state-:
ment of his accounts presented to the j (
supervisor.
We further recommend that rubber J
matting be laid on the stairway of the
court house, larger cuspidors and
benches in the upper lobby for the '<
grand jury witnesses, and three electric
fans be placed in the court room. <
At our February session, we rec- '*
ommended that seats be placed in the <
upper lobby for the grand jury wit- s
nesses and it has not yet been done. '
These seats would make the witnesses '
more accessible to the grand jury
and thereby save time. We now ask <
your Honor to sign an order reguir- 1
ing the proper officers to have these <
seats placed, as requested. <
We thank the solicitor for his aid
and help to this body. We thank 1
your nonor lor the courtesies shown 1
us and respectfully ask that you (lis- '
charge us from further attendance i
upon this term of court. <
Respectfully submitted,

. SENATOR CARLISLE RECEIVES
1 LETTER OF INDORSEMENT.
a
3 Senator Howard B. 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.
