Mr. Kenneth Jaker, Mayor of the aity of Greenwood, was in Edgefield on last Saturday. He was asked what Greenwood would do to build a trolley line from Augusta, via Edgefield to Greenwood. He states that Edgefield can rely on Greenwood to do her part and that if we will go ahead and do ours, we need feel no fears about that * end of the line. He is very much in terested in the line as are the people of Greenwood. Like us, he believes that the line can be built, and that the time has come to act, Augusta and Greenwood will back our dfforts and that ought to make the road a eertainly. After the matter is put in -shape here, a committee will visit > Greeirwood and Mr. Baker assures us -&at it will be well received. iThe above is from the Edgeffeld News. It would seem that our co temporary is determined to have this road the Edgefleld-Greenwood road. We are going to build the road to Newberry and will be delighted to have a braneh line to Greenwoo. There is no reason why we should not build to Greenwood and there should be no objection on the part of Edgefield to going to both places. Prof. P. T. Brodie, the head of the mathematics and civil engineering department of Olemson college died Sunday afternoon. Prof. Brodie had been in bad health for some time but an attack of cerebal miningis has tened the end. Prof. Brodie was a man of high character and esteemed by the whole corps and faculty of Clemson college and all who knew him. The front of the store at "Balti more'' corner on College and Main streets has been torn down and with it has also gone the dog w1th the basket in his mouth. The Herald and News would be glad to have some one white the story of this dog. Immigration a Menace. Christian Appeal. Immigration is one of the most im portant political issues now before the southern people. We say political issues beause it is a question which enters into politics and must be hand led in a political way. But it is far more than a political question-it af - fects our industrial, social and moral conditions. We have heretofore discussed this question from an industrial stand point and expressed our unqualified disapproval of the methods now be ing employed t~o rush immigrants into the gouth. Our reasons were stated at that time. But there are two oth er phases of the matter which deserve and demand the most careful consid eration-the social and the moral. The southern people are a homogen eous people. The highest and purest type of the Anglo-~Saxon race is found in the south. Our blood is purer than that of any other people in America. This is due to the fact that our peo ple have not inter-married to any] great extent with other races and na tions-we have maintained our iden ~tity as a distinctively southern peo pie. In doing this we have selfguard *ed many other vital matters and shut] out many disturbing questions. Our - social -interests and our future require that this condition be maintained. We .cannot do this if we flood, the south with a horde of immigrants of every race and nation. Ultimately they will intermarry with our people and cor rupt our blood and disintegrate our1 society.' This must be the final re suits if present methods prevail and it would prove disastrous to society and injurious to the country. The moral phase of this question is equally important. The southern people are committed to certain great .moral principles and obedience to them has proved a great blessing to our people and state. We have been able to maintain these principles be cause we are a homogenemis people. We have our differences on minor questoins but upon these great lirinci pies we stand agreed. Our people think alike and act together. Our political unity has protected our so cial and moral interests. Among these great moral questions we mention our public school system, temperance. divorce and the obser vance of the Sabbath. On these mie tions the immiv:rants who com'e a . country do not agree with us * t tics :111d Subvert our peace aid de moralize our social and moral condi -tions. We will have a repetition here of the many disturbances which are now almost daily occurring in the noith to the great demoralization of society and the injury o.* the coun try. Such a state of things would be the greatest calamity that could be fall us as a people. Are we prepared to open our courts to divorce? Are wo willing to change our free school system out of def erence to their faith? Do we wish to see our Sabbath desecrated ? Do we want to turn back the great prohibi tion wave which is sweeping over the south? If not we must stop any ef fort to bring and settle these people among us. We do not need immigrants. Our country enjoys a remarkable degree of prosperity. Our farmers are in splendid condition; our manufactories are prospering; our population is ra#idly increasing by natural growth; there is very little vacant or idle land in the .state qnd in a few, years this will be taken up by .L. 'neresse ot our people. Why then introduce an annecessary and disturbing element among us? No real good cam come from such a scheme and we hopd to ee the effort effectually buried af the next election by placing in offliee men whose convictions ar2 p.-.itive mnd who will legally block any ef fort to fasten such a calamity upon our people airl state. In immigration we see. a positive menace -i our politici unity, our ocial purity and our m ril progress. CABOLINA BANKERS MEET. Recognize the Need for Greater Cir cula,ting Medium-4learing House Certificates. he State, 7th. About 30 members of the South arolina Bankers' association, in ,uding Mr. W. D. Morgan of George 'own, the president, met in Colum Jia yesterday. These gentlemen rep resented the ''finances'' of practical Ly every banking town in the state. hey adopted a resolution that is a 3mpliment to the banking institu-' ions of Columbia and Charleston. It is more. If the request of the state's bankers is complied with there will be an immediate easement of string sny and, the banks will be able to give much more assistance to the cot bo growers. It was decided to ask the associa bion of banks in the two cities named to issue clearing house certificates to bake the place, locally, o' the other forms of cash that have been drawn to the great centers and are being aeld there. If this is done there will ,e experienced and practical effect of aaving banks of issue, with elasticity >f issue. The following resolution was unani ously adopted:. . ''Whereas, the financial disturb inces in New York have resulted in a carity of actual currency, so much 1eeded at this time to move the cot :'on crop of the south, while our bank ng institutions are in the best con lition they have ever been; and, ''Whereas, this scareity of actual mrrency is also depressing the prices >f our products and causing them to >e sacrificed; and, ''Whereas, some measures for sub tituting a circulating medium in lace of this currency is of extreme mportance for the protection of the alues of our products; ''Now,- therefore, we, the said meet ng of 'bankers of South Carolina, do ~ereby resolve: ''1. That tihe clearing house associ tios of Charleston and Columbia be equested to issue clearing house cer ;ificates for the general relief of neh condition in this state as is thove described; ''2. And that all banks in the state e requested to urge the use of such ~erificates in lieu of currency until ~onditions again become normal.'' If the banks of Columbia and Tharleston issue certificates in res onse to this riquest those certificates vill be acceptable as money by banks ill over South Carolina, and will be herefore as good as gold for any use n this state.
