Columbia, Special?About 30 mem bers of the South Carolina Bankers' association, including Mr. W. I}. Mor v' gan of Georgetown, the president, met in Columbia last week, tfbese gontlemon represented the "finances" of practically every banking town in the State. ? They adopted a resolu tion that is a compliment to the banking institutions of Columbia end Charleston. It is more.* If the re" euest of the State's bankers is com plied vrith^tiwfre will be an immediate easement of stringency and the banks r will be able to give much more assis tance to the cotton growers. It was decided to ask the assoeia ' tion of banks in the two Cities nam- > ed to issue clearing houso certificates 4 to take the place, locally, of the .other forms of 'tash that have been drawn to the groat^entres and are being held thero. If this is done there will be experienced the practical effect of ?c having banks of issue, with elasticity .of issue. The fallowing resolutions was un animously adopted: * "Whereas, the fianancial distur bances in New York have resulted in a scarcity of actual currency, so much ' needed at this time to move-the cot ton ? crop of the South, while our banking institutions are in the best condition they^Jiave ever been; and, ?"Wwrcas, this scarcity of actual currency is also depressing the price of otgr<Woducts and causing them to be sacrificed; and v , # "'Whereas, some measures *?f sub stituting a circnlntins' medium in place of this currency Is of-extreme. Importance for. the protection of the values of onr pVoducts; ' j "Now, thcrforej me, the said meet ing of bankers of South Carolina, do hereby resolve: v A v /lI. That the clearing house associ ations of Charleston and Columbia be requested to issue clearing house -cer tificates for the general relief of suclii ? condition in this State as is above de % scribed; . ?+.?*"* "2. And thnfr'all banks in the Stato be requested Mo^ufge the use qf srtch certificates irfi lieu,, of currency until condition* julu*#, become normal -' If the bJKks -of Columbia' and" ?' * Charleston issue * certificates . in re-., sponse to this requ^t those certifl" cates will be acceptable as money by banks" all over SontbsjCarotina, and Will bo therefore- aft gooiflm^ld for . any use in this State.

A committee of railroad mew, rep reaontfng the big grain ro'rtds, re* turned from a mission to Washing ton. 'rhey appealed to the Intorsta'te Commerce Commission for authority to give graltk shipments the right of way over other freight. The Com mission refused to authorise this violation of the law, but the railroad men are said to have received tho ' intimation somewhere In Washington that *hey might hurry (he grain along without fear of serious objec tion from th#40ovominent. Railroad men declare there is enough grain at Buffalo to save tho slt'iatlon If it can only be forwarded to Now York and loaded on steamers, huropo is anxious to buy, and, onco tho grain Is loaded, the bankers can draw ugulrist it. It Is understood here that Southern Railroads will rush cotton shipments to Mobile, Savannah, New Orleans and Galveston on their own response bllity.
