BETWEEN THE GULINAS
Commissioner Congratulated
on Road Between Columbia
and Lake Toxaway-
Dispatch to The Journal.)
COLUMBIA, S. C., Aug. 11.—Commis
sioner of Agriculture E. J. Watson has
been overwhelmed with letters since
announcing his purpose of putting’that
part of the highway from Columbia to
Lake Toxaway, N. C., which lies in this
state, in prime condition. Mr.-Watson
will make a preliminary run over the
proposed route on August 12 and 13 .to
take the readings and gather the other
information necessary to getting out
the guide books for travelers. Steel
markers will be placed along the route.
Meetings will be held in South Caro
lina at Anderson, Townville, Walhalla
and Seneca. At the state line the North
Carolina people will meet Mr. Wat
son and he will proceed through Cash
iers Valley to Lake Toxaway and prob
ably on to the Highlands. Very little
of the proposed route, less than ten
miles in Oconee county, remain to be
worked. The route will be from Colum
bia to Greenville via Laurens, then
through Anderson and Walhalla across
into North Carolina and on to Lake
Toxaway. Former Judge W. C. Benei
writes Mr. Watson from Cashiers Val
ley urging that point to be placed on
the proposed highway. R. R. Tolbert
writes from the same point that White
Side Cave, Caslin Valley and Farfield
Inn in the mountains of North Carolina
are all good summer resorts and he is
satisfied they will assist if the road
comes by them. Mr. Tolbert says the
road from Cashiers Valley to Lake
Toxaway is fairly good and he is satis
fied the people are perfectly willing to
help in improving it.

I Classy $25 Suit Made to Order
(By RALPH SMITH.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—The fruits
of the recent European Investigation of
rural credits by an American com
mission were noted today in the senate
when Senateor Fletcher, of Florida, in
troduced a comprehensive bill to pro
vide for the establishment, operation,
management and control of a national
rural banking system. Senator Fletcher,
who was chairman of the commission
that made the European investigation,
addressed the senate in explanation ol
the bill, which it is believed may have
a material bearing on the pending cur
rency legislation.
The Fletcher bill formulates a plan
for a complete system of rural banks
to be organized under a federal charter
especially designed to meet the financial
requirements of the farmer. The bill
divorces farm credits from commercial
and industrial credits. It recognizes
the need, first, of a credit arrange
ment whereby the farmer can acquire
lands and a home, and sufficient capital
for the permanent improvement of his
farm.
SPECIAL FACILITIES.
The need of special facilities to en
able the farmer to secure temporary
banking accomodation, annually, is rec
ognized and amply provided for in the
measure. A provision to encourage the
farmers to apply business methods to
their industries, thereby enabling them
to render comprehensive statements to
the banks, is contained in the bill.
As a means of supplying the means
which the bill recognizes as important
to the ‘farmers, provision is made for
the establishment of three separate
classes of institutions, as follows:
Local national rural banks, with min
imum capital of $2,000,000, confined in
their operation to small districts, send
owned and operated by local farmers.
State national rural banks, whose
stock is to be owned and controlled by
the local banks of the state, and whose,
net earnings shall be used to create a
surplus and pay dividends to the local
banks as its stockholders.
And the national rural bank, station
ed at Washington, whose stock shall
be owned by the local national and.
state national banks.
NATIONAL BANK CONTROL.
The national rural bank of the
United States shall be controlled by
nine directors, five being selected by
the stockholders to serve eight years,
and four being selected by the presi
dent of the United States, subject to
senate confirmation to serve during
good behavior. The net earnings of the
national rural bank of the United
States shall be used to pay a fixed
dividend to the local and state national
rural banks which own its stock, and
to create a surplus.
A distinguishing feature of the whole
rural credit system is tne extraordinary
power given to each and all national
banks in the system to use their credic,
as well as their cash assets, to aid in
meeting the demands of the farmers.
The bill recognizes land as the only
or the most, available asset which the
farmers have, and provides a plan
whereby the farmers may obtain capital
by offering as security long term mort
gage bonds, repayable in small annual
payments, so that the bond can be paid,
off out of profits derived from the im
provements made to the farm with the
money obtained on the loan.
The bill provides for the guarantee by
local national rural banks of long-term
bonds, or notes, secured by liens on farm
lands at not exceeding 60 per cent of
the taxable value of the land. After
being so guaranted, the bond can be
guaranteed also by the national rural
bank, having a much larger capital and
surplus, and then, in turn, guaranteed
also by the national rural bank of the
United States, with a capital and sur
plus excedlng $100,000,000.
The measure contemplates that the lo
cal national rural banks will serve to
collect together the neighborhood funds
in the shape of deposits, and make them
available to be loaned to meet tempo
rary or annually recurring banking re
quirements of the same farming com
munity.
As a new contribution to the discus
sion of the currency question, Senator
Fletcher’s speech in explanation of his
bill attracted close attention in the sen
ate. He claimed that the measure has
the merit of proposing something defi
nite and expressed a hope that it will
invite free discussion, to be followed by
action at this session of congress along
with the administration currency bill.
COMMERCIAL BANK UNSUITED.
“I feel quite convinced that we can
not expect a system of commercial bank
ing to meet the needs of the farmers,”
said Senator Fletcher. “It is recognized
all over the world that no commercial
banks can, with safety, be allowed to
execute a fair contract of guarantee,
can not afford to grant the payment of
long-term bonds. Its assets must be
quick convertible, and must become due
and payable within a short period. By
consensus of opinion, it is generally rec
ognized that It is unwise for commer
cial banks to lend money for a longer
period than four months.
“As the farmers’ capital requirements
must be met by long term loans ob
tained from the investment public, as
the guarantee of these long terms by
some financial institution is necessary
to their sale, as a commercial bank
cannot safely execute a contract of guar
antee, it is obvious that commercial
banks cannot meet the farmers’ capi
tal requirements.
“As commercial banks cannot safe
ly grant temporary credit for longer
than four months, and as the farmers’
requirements are for temporary accom
modations for a longer period, (or until
the crop comes in) it is equally obvious
that commercial banks are not suited
to supply the annual recurring bank
ing needs of the farmers.
"The pending federal reserve bill is
generally referred to by the public as
a ‘currency reform measure/
"As a matter of fact, it is more than
this. It is in fact a .bill for the re
form of the currency and for the re
form of the existing commercial bank-
[ ing system. But the bills refer only
to commercial banking and not to rural
banking, as heretofore indicated.
"As a currency bill I favor the federal
reserve act," said Senator Fletcher. "As
a reform of commercial banking I favor
It. I am prepared to say that in the
effort to meet the needs of the farm
ers, it has gone further than any. com
mercial banking act has ever gone be
fore. My contention is that the farm
ers’ needs cannot be dealt with and
should not be dealt with in a commer
cial banking bill."
SON OF H. M. STANLEY IS
KILLED BY LIGHTNING
Fifteen-Year-Old John Stanley
Struck While Returning
From Rabbit Hunt
DUBLIN, Ga., Aug. 11.—John Stanley,
the fifteen-year-old son of Commissioner
of Labor H. M. Stanley, was killed in
stantly Thursday afternoon by light
ning. He had been rabbit hunting with
several young ooys, and, seeing a cloud,
was hurrying home when he was struck.
He was alone and nothing was known
of the tragedy until a negro cook noti
fied one of the neighbors that a dead
man was in a street near by. Several
hurried to the scene and found the body
still warm, although it had been ex
posed an hour.
The body was carried to the home of
Mr. William Pritchett and every effort
made to restore life. On the right side
of the head was a burn where the light
ning entered, passing through the body
and tearing one shoe to pieces.
John Stanley, in company with his
elder brother Harry, has been visiting
his aunt, Mrs. W. A. Pritchett, for the
past few weeks. Dublin was his home
until Mr. Stanley was elected commis
sioner of labor. Since then they have
made their home in Decatur, Ga.

MEMORY OF SAM JONES
HONORED AT TABERNACLE
CARTERSYILLE, Ga., Aug. 11.-—One
of the greatest days ever known at the
Sam Jones tabernacle was celebrated
today when the first annual memorial
service for Sam Jones, founder of the
tabernacle, was held under the direc
tion of "Bob” Jones, who was chosen to
succeed him as manager of the annual
tabernacle meeting. More than 10,000
people from all sections of the south,
including many ministers, were present,
and the tabernacle could not seat half
the crowd which thronged to the me
morial service.
"Bob” Jones extolled Sam Jones’
courage and his ability as a reformer.
He declared that Sam Jones had waked
the south from a lethargy in religion
and had done away with the formality
which had begun to 'bind the church
members in narrow ways. He declar
ed that Sanv Jones was the pioneer pro
hibitionist of the south.
“Gypsy” Smith spoke of Sam Jones
as a preacher, telling of the wonderful
results the evangelist obtained.
Rev. Mr Callahan, of the Hadley
mission of New York; Rev. Dr. Kendall,
of Gainesville, and many other minis
ters and laymen also spoke.
In the afternoon a special service was
held for negroes, at which both “Gypsy”
Smith and “Bob” Jones spoke. At
night, at the conclusion of the regular
evening service, more than 1$0 conver
sions were recorded among the white
people.

Grim Tragedy Befalls
Merry Dancing Party
When Motor Boat Sinks
^ EAST FREETOWN, Mass., Aug. 11.—
Six women and a man were drowned
and three other persons were saved
when a motor boat sank in Long Pond
tonight. The dead are George Wright
and Miss Haven, of Brockton; Miss Hat
tie Hamilton, Launton; Miss Annie
Sweeney, Miss Sadie McCabe, Miss Ma
bel Brown and Mrs. Emma Doyle, all
of New Bedford.
Mrs. Henry W. Raymond and Luther
M. Dayton, of New Bedford, and R.
James Stevens, Launton, were rescued

at the pond and who, responding to
cries for help, was able to pick up four
persons in his motorboat. One of the
four, Miss McCabe, failed to revive.
The party was bound for* a dance at
Lakeside park. Soon after leaving
shore the boat sprang a leak. Some re

THREETeATHS IN KANSAS
RESULT FROM HEAT WAVE
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 11.—Relief from
the temperatures of 100 degrees and
higher that have prevailed over Kan
sas and in most parts of Missouri and
Oklahoma the last ten days, was prom
ised by the local weather forecaster to
night. He said thundershowers were
probable and his prediction applied es
pecially to Kansas, which has been in
the grip of a drouth, since early in
June. j
Today’s weather reports were another
round of high temperatures. In Kan-
} 3 the mercury again climbed above
the century mark. Thermometers in
some parts of the state registered as
high as 108.
Three deaths due to heat were re
ported in Kansas today. Few prostra
tions occurred because farmers and
other outside workers have suspended
operations. Farmers are doing the work
that is absolutely necessary, such as
providing feed and water for livestock
and digging cisterns and pipe lines to
conserve the water on hand.
Poultny raisers have suffered severe
ly from the drouth on account of the
shortage of feed and water. Chickens
are being rushed to market and sold at
a sacrifice. One firm at Leavenworth
sold 30,000 pounds of poultry this week
and will make another similar shipment
in a few days. Dealers say the country
districts will sell practically all their
poultry within the next week if present
conditions continue.
At Leavenworth a temperature of 108
was reached today. Practically all
streams in Leavenworth county are dry
and threshing operations have been
abandoned on account of the water
shortage.

how to Get
Rid of Eczema
If you bruise your hand, you will no
tice that a scab forms, and when it
falls off, new skin has formed. Did
salve do it? No! Skin is the same as
muscle, bone, sinew, ligament. All are
made from the blood, from the ma
terials that your stomach and intes
tines convert from food into what we
call blood. And this blood circulates
in the myriad of tiny blood vessels in
the skin. Start from your stomach,
where blood materials begin, and it
I won’t be long before you are free of
eczema. Use S. S. S. for a short time,
and not only will eczema disappear,
but the entire blood will be renewed.
There is one ingredient in S. S. S.
which serves the active purpose of
stimulating each cellular part of the
body to the healthy, judicious selection
of its own essential nutriment. That
is why it regenerates the blood supply;
why it has such a tremendous influence
in overcoming eczema, rash, pimples,
and all skin afflictions.
Get a bottle of S. S. S. at any drug
store, and you will not only feel bright
and energetic, but you will be the pic
ture of new life. S. S. S. is prepared
only in the laboratory of The Swift
Specific Co., 189 Swift Bldg., Atlanta,
Ga. Beware of any attempt to sell you
something "just as good.”
Death of Alabamian May
Cause Tariff Bill to Fail
of Passage
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—Senator Jo
seph Forney Johnston, of Birmingham,
Ala., died at his apartments here this
morning shortly before 9 o’clock.
Senator Johnston had been in poor
health and had not attended sessions
of the senate for a week. He had been
confined to his apartment most of the
time, but his trouble was not diagnosed
as pnuemonia until a few days ago. Al-
thought the senator’s son, Forney John
ston, had been summoned from Birming
ham, it is believed last night that the
senator was not in any immediate dan
ger.
Senator Johnston was born in North
Carolina in 1843. He quit school to join
the Confederate army as a private in
March, 1861. He served with distinction
throughout the war and was promoted
to the rank of captain. He was wounded
four times.
Immediately after the war he prac
ticed law for seventeen years and was a
banker for ten years.
In 1896 he was elected gqyernor of
Alabama and was re-elected in 1898. He
never sought or held any other office
than governor and ssnator.

PROBERS WILL ASK
Chairman Framley and Coun
selor of Investigating Com
mittee Say That Is Only
Course for Them
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—While Gover
nor Sulzer remains silent, the legislative
committee, which concluded its hear
ings here yesterday, began today draft
ing a report which it will submit to the
legislature on Monday with reference
to testimony adduced showing that the
governor had speculated in the New
York stock market, using campaign
funds which he failed to include in his
sworn statement as required by law.
In the opinion of Chairman Frawley,
of the committee, and of Eugene Lam-
brichards, counsel, no other course than
to recommend impeachment proceedings
is open to investigators.
Never in the history of New York
state has a governor been impeached.
Should such a fate await Mr. Sulzer
he would be put on trial before the
senate and the state court of appeals
sitting jointly. The court is now in
recess and will not convene until Sep
tember 29.
MILITANTS HORSEWHIP
O’NEAL FAVORS SPECIAL
SENATORIAL ELECTION
Alabama Governor Believes He
Has the Authority to
Call One
(By Associated Press.)
MONTGOMERY, Aug. 11.—Gover
nor O’Neal declared today that he is
still of the opinion that he is authorized
by law to call a special election to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of '
Senator Joseph F. Johnston.
"The authority for the election ex
ists in an Alabama statute which says
lhat vacancies in office created by death
shall be filled by special election,” said
Governor O’Neal. "I could issue a
proclamation Monday fof a special elec
tion and have a senator elected by Sep
tember 15, the date on which I under
stand the tariff bill will come up for
passage. A Democratic primary would
be useless in case I order an election.
There is no danger of a Republican be- v
ing elected. Their vote is inapprecia
ble.”
Governor O’Neal will leave tonight for
Birmingham to attend the funeral of
Senator Johnston. He will probably
reach no definite conclusion until he has
conferred with the members of the Ala
bama delegation attending the funeral.
