Opposed to Bonds.We talked with a number of rep¬

resentative citizens who were intown Monday, and without a singleexception they expressed themselvesas being opposed to the issuing ofthe proposed cotton bonds at thistime, as they would be of practical¬ly no benefit to those who needaid. We are confident that two-thirds of the people of this countyare opposed to the bonds being is¬sued.

about 12 miles southeast of Edge-field lost his residence by fire lastWednesday morning. The roofcaught lrom the chimney aboutseven o'clock in the morning.

Some time next year MissPrescott will complete her courseand will go out into the world wellequipped upon her mission of alle¬viating the suffering of humanity.What nobler life-work could onechoose?

Distinguished Guest of Honor.The Methodist church on Tues»

day afternoon was the scene of an

unusual and beautiful occasion. At3 o'clock a most impressive servicebegan, with Mrs. T. H. Rainsford,president of the local mission so¬

ciety ii. charge, who most gracious-ly welcomed the representatives ofall the mission societies in our town,a» this reception for Miss Mary Cul¬ler White of Soo Chow, China, formany years known and loved inEdafield.

Miss White was called upon toconduct the devotions, after which,Mrs. R. A. Marsh was called uponto speak words, of greeting fromthe Episcopal church. This shedid most appropriately, and toldsome of the purposes of theil workin South Carolina, as well as abroad.

MTS. M. P. Wells of the Presby¬terian church spoke especiallyof the unity of the churchin foreign fields, and of the ad visa-bility and growth of unity in thework of missions. Her talk was

very much appreciated by the audi¬ence.

Mrs. J. L. Mims greeted MissWhite in the name of the BaptistMission society.

Miss White made a most thrill¬ing address on "China Old andNew." She placed on the black¬board in opposite columns the con¬

trast in China in 1904 and 14. Someof the roost striking contrasts were

in reference to foot binding, theprohibition of opium, the wonder¬ful modern educational fiystem, as

contrasted with the fossil system,the breaking down of idolatry andthe working up of the Chinesechurch. To listen to tb is conse¬crated eye witness to the conditionsshe depicted, was to rise from thelevel of earth and get a glimpseinto a sphere of faith beyond thepen of ordinary mortals. MissWhite will speak to everybody bothmen and women on Thursday eve¬

ning in the Methodist church.At the close of this address, a

social half-hour was spent together,and sandwiches and cocoa servedby the ladies of the Methodist!church.

Opposed Bond Issue in Senate.Acting with characteristic wis¬

dom and conservatism, Senator B ENicholson opposed the bond issueas it was adopted by the house andfinally passed by the senate. In an

interview he gave his reasons forvoting against the measure, whichare as follows:"When I voted for the passage of

the bill to submit to the qualifiedelectors of the State the question ofissuing bonds for the purpose of re¬

lieving the cotton situation I did so

for the reason that I was in hopesthat this plan might furnish the ba¬sis of relief to the people of our

State in the the time of their direnecessity. I had not had time toconsider the matter carefully andat first blush it seemed to affordthe only possible plan that could doanything to relieve the situation. 1protested against the 6enale adiingon the bill in haste and stated thaiwhile I voted for tho bill for thereason that I did not wish to beput in the position of opposing theonly plan that I thought might dosomething to afford relief, I did sowith the distinct understandingthat when the whole matter hadbeen thrashed out and the free con¬

ference report submitted that Iwould vote against the free con¬

ference report unless I then felt satisfied that the bill as finally present¬ed should pass. I have given thematter ray most careful considera¬tion and have reached the conclu¬sion that the bill will not afford re¬

lief to the farmers who need it mostuntil too late to do them any goodand that it will lay a heavy burdenof taxation upon all the people andthe benefit* derived from the bondissue will be confined to compara¬tively few of the citizens of theState and will not include the smallfarmers and those most in need ofimmediate assistance. I also voteagainst the bill for the reason that Ido not think there is sufficient timebefore the election to give the peo¬ple sufficient notice of the terras ofthe bill and that they will not havean opportunity to give expressionto their mature judgment on a mat¬ter of such vital importance andfar-reaching results. I do not thinkthe bill as amended by the house'should pass and that it will impairthe credit of the State and imposea burden of taxation on the peoplewithout affording the relief de¬sired."

An Irreparable Blunder.It will be an irreparable blander

if Congress adjorams without doingsomething to insure adequate cur¬

rency for lending farmers to holdcotton until conditions become nor¬

mal. This is an emergency condition and emergency conditions re

quire emergency measures.

When the Salem, Massachusetts,fire occurred did not Congress makeau outright gift of 82,000,000 toits people? When the war came on

did not congress levy extra taxes inorder to keep $75,000,000 in thenational banks and did not LeaderUnderwood declare the govern¬ment should have gone "to the res¬

cue of these institutions whose sol¬vency was jeopardized not by anyfault of their own, but by condi¬tions coming from the war zone ofEurope"?

Is it not equally trae that the sol¬vency of the suuthern farmers isnow "jeopardized not by any faultof their own?" And while they askno gift from congress, they do askthat congress help them to helpthemselves. They do ask that Con¬gress provide sufficient currency at

reasonable interest so they may | /borrow and carry the crop at theirown risk and their own expense un¬

til conditions become normal again.President Wilson should not for¬

get bis own testimony against the"Money Trust." of New York andshould not forget that small south¬ern banks cinnot take care of theirordinary obligations and carry thisenormous burden of financing thecotton crop.

President Wilson and secretary | JMcAdoo are great men, but con¬

gress is responsible, not to them,but to the people. It should never

adjourn without providing, not a

gift, but sufficient currency, whichsecretary declared would be avail-1 \able for carrying the crop tillreasonable market can be foundbut which present banking conditions do not provide.-ProgressiveFarmer.
