i i fc- I. * na re le, and any times of strin bauk, provided administered and has No dominating force, the: combination of larger in money centers, can manu facture a panic in resentment for supposed hostile legislation, as has been charged in times past, and ev ery section of the country and all classes of business can come in for equal opportunities under the new currency law. The new currency law breaks the shackles forged by Wall street and puts the commodity producer at least on an equal footing with the stock gambler. Even in the midst ol panic or threatened panic it was commonly known that there was no scarcity of mon?y? But when larger bank* withheld their loans from smaller banks, and cried panic, local banki became panicy fend withheld their loans from the public. Even tin New York Sun, the uncompromising champion of capital and corporate power, says'"the new financial sys tem will be conducive to prosperity. Suffice it to say the Democratic party reaping where the Republican part* had sown, has furnished the coun try with a measure of banking and currency which is much more than the half loaf which is better than no bread." Because the possibility of panic almost entirely removed, and money will be accessible%at all times to all classes of business, people need not, i conclude that the "forty acres aud a mule" myth has been enacted into real existence. Under the new law, it will be perhaps a little easier t< obtain money for legitimate busines.* ?t. ?nv time t.hsin under the old I banking system, but the same old re quirement of adequate collateral will ' be made. This is a proper detail ol business in all its phases; only it is adhered to more strictly in hanking. The main advantage accruing to the 1 public is, that under the present law, the August grade is materially re duced. Collateral will look as good to the banker in August as in No vember. It is true the banker will have to prepare in the fall to meet his own obligations as of old, but he dg^^^^^'"sqb?eze by his. bank ^of" deposit, and the sSftHtsrfTmakes bankable paper, acceptable at the re gional banks, much collateral not j heretofore useful as collateral. Only success for the principles of ' the new banking law is prophesied, and it would seem that the tariff ha* as bright a future. Calamity howl ers were ready to charge a depression that is really world wide to the tar ifl?hen it was discovered, that for the first six months of the operation of the new tariff law, imports were actually less in value than for the same six mouths of last year. . RICHARD SMART DEAD remains of Rev. Richard D. , D. D. were brought to Green, esterday for burial. Many nd relatives of the deceased tto witness the last fun eraTrites and^Jo honor to the memory or a great man. Dr. Smart was a native of South Carolina, and in the earlier days of his ministry he served as pastor oi various Methodist churches in Abbe ville and Greenwood counties, there {by identifying himself in an intimate personal way with people of the two counties.

Intensely patriotic at w all times, it was like Dr. Smart to all 'when he econciliation mity, the ease quality of brain of human kind can bring friendship out rd, and does it for love of ind, carries its blessings, with if fere, and pleads as no other human virture can plead at the gates of the eternal' city.

It is a rare enough thing nowadays to And a play which has received the univer sal endarsement of dramatic critics every where. It is unpresodented to hfar of a play that has received not only the en dorsement of the men whose business it is to consider a play from a technical view point, but from the prominent laymen wha judge a play only by the personal appeal which it makes to them. It is therefore of increased interest to learn that we are soon to see "Within the Law" a play by Bayard Velller, which has been commend ed publicly by such eminent tMnkers as Wood row Wilson, Theodore Boc /eit, Dr. C. H. Parkhurst, the Bishop of Wyoming, Mrs. 0. H. P. Belmont, Mrs. Harriot Stan ton Blatch, and which has just concluded a run of more than a year at the El tinge Theatre, New York City. Manager Cheat, ham has secured this remarkable play which deals with present-day conditiont in this populace and which will be seen ?? the Grand Opera House, Tuesday, Jan. 18. Within the Law. Efat^fiBweatman, representing "With in the'Law," which will be the attraction it the Grand Opera House Tuesday, Jan. 18, is in the city making arrangements foi lis attraction. Mr. Sweatmun assures th< theatre-goers of Abbeville that "Within nhe Law" is one of the very best playt r.hat is now touring tho country. It played >verone year at th? Eltinge Theatre in New York City. Mr. Sweatman also 6tatei that Manageer Cheatham had great diffi culty in securing this stellar attraction, and it was only after guaranteeing t.1 e Compahy a certain 6utu that it was able to raake its appearance in Abbeville. * "Within the Law" ascends far above tl e plane of the drama that merely interests and thril,s. Its directness, simplicity and :X)wer are irresistible. Its moral is powei - 'ul and touches a responsive and sympa hord in the heart of all human. :Mr. Cheatham guarantees that the New York Company and entire production, headed t?y that splendid actress Clara Joel, will be teen here on Jan. 13, and in order to over come the amount that Manager Cheatham ias guaranteed, it behooves the patrons of -he Grand to patronize this organization, so that others of like nature can follow. VESSELS THROUGH CANAL Ships Can Pass In Seventy Days, Say Offlcia**_^ w W^^?T^*^^nuary 3.?The Panama Canal will be In condition to pass vessels all th way across the Isthmus within the next seventy days, it was learned today, un less unexpected obstacles are encountered. This is the judgement of a high canal offi cial, who declines to fix the date more definitely. The only remaining: obstacles to prove n the passage of vessels now are the JSucar cha slide,which blocks the cut at Culebra andother small slides in the same lo cality. Dredging: is progressing satisfac torily at these slides. In view of uncertain conditions surroun ding the work it has deemed impolitic to attempt to fix a definite date for the open ing. Even after the passage is possible sev eral months must be spent in training the operating force before the waterway is opened to commerce. ? / Too Good to Lose.
