There scorns to be much per
turbation in the lame dallies
over what Bryan will do in re-
irard to the next administration,
and whether or not he will accept
a place in the next Cabinet.
There is no occasion for alarm.
Wo notice that Bryan ever has
the happy faculty of doing the
right thing ut the right time,
and it will bo so regarding his
future course.
Alumni Meeting
In the name of the state of
South Carolina. Governor Blease
served notice to the Governors'
conference that lynchers of ne
gro assailants of white women
in his state would go unpunisu-
ed.
Governor Blease warmly de
fended his use of pardoning
power as well as declaring that
in 22 months he had pardoned
or paroled approximately 400
persons and that he hopeu trie
number at tho end of the second
term would be 800.
"I have said all over South
Carolina and I say it again now,"
ho declared, "that I will never
order out the militia .loot
down their neighl" and pro
tect a black brute who commits
tho nameless crime against a
white woman.
Therefore, in South Carolina.
let it be understood that when
a negro assaults a white woman,
all that is needed is that they
get tho right man and they who
get him will neither need nor
receive a trial."
Get Out
Of The Rut
The men who stand at the top of
their line of business today, stand
there because they had the courage
to climb.
If you are a man of indecision a
hesitator, you will never make a
success. That's sure.
The very first step toward success
is to realize the importance of sav
ing money. The next is a deter
mination to save it. Money is
what makes it possible for courage
to succeed.
If you haven't the money don't be
discouraged. Start right now and
open a Savings Account at this
bank. A dollar is all yoti need,
and, by adding to, it regularly you
will soon have a good substantial
batik account and be well started
on the road to success.
