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. STANDING SOUTHERN SOUTH ATLANTIC Clubs. VV L. Pet. Clubs. W. L. Pet.

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. Brandon for Governor (Special Dispatch to The Journal.

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.

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.

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.
