Mr. Kenneth J Inker, Mayor of th oily of Greenwood, was in Kdgofloh on last'Saturday. He was asked wlia Qroenwood would do to build a trolle; line from Augusta, via EdgoHeld t< Greenwood, lie .states that KdgoHeh can rely on Greenwood to do her par and that if we will go ahead and d< ours, we need feel no fears about tlia ? e:id of the line. He. is very much in teresfed in tin* line as are the peoph of Greenwood. Like us, he believes that the line can lit; built, and thai the time lias come to act, August# and Greenwood will batik our efforts and that ought to make tin* road n eortainly. After the matter is put in vhape here, a committee will visit Groenwood and Mr. linker assures us that it will be well received. The above is from tho Kdgofleld Nows. It would seem that our cotemporary is determined to have this road the KtlgeflehMJroenwood road, We are going to build the road to NWborry and will bo delighted to have a branch lino to Greenwood. There is no reason why wo should not build to Greenwood and there should be no objection 0:1 the part' ol Kdgetield to going to both places. Prof. I'. T. Brodic, the head of the mathematics and civil engineering departmcut of (!|emson college died Sunday afternoon. I'rof. Itrodic had been in bad health for some time hut an attack of eerebal mini ileitis hastened the end. I'rof. Brodic was a man of high character and esteemed by the whole corps; and faculty of Clomsou college and all who knew him. The front of the store at 41 Baltimore'' corner on College and Main ttireels has been torn down and with if has also jrone the dog with 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. <'hrisliun Appeal. Immigration is one of the most important political issues now before the southern people. We say political issues because it is a quest ion which enters into politics and must lie handled in a political way. Hut it is far more than a political question it affects out industrial, social and moral condit ions. We have heretofore discussed this question from an industrial standpoint ami expressed our unqualified disapproval of the methods now being employed to rush immigrants into the sontli. Our reasons were stated at that time. But there are two other phases of the matter which deserve and demand the uios| careful consideration the social and the moral. The southern peoph1 are a homogeneous 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 facj that our people have not inter married to any great extent with other races and nations we have maintained our identity as ;i distinctively southern people. In doinjr this we have scl(guarded 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. IMliinately they will intermarry with our people and corrupt our blood and disintegrate our society. This must be the final results 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 commit led to certain great moral principles and obedience to them has-, proved a great blessing to our people and stale. We have been able Jo maintain these principles because we are a homogeneous people, We have our differences on mitioi qnestoins but upon these yreat print*i pies we stand agreed. Our peoph think alike and act together, Oui political unity has protected our social and moral interests. Among these great moral questions we mention our public school system temperance, divorce and the obsor vance of the Sabbath. On these que-", lions the immigrants who come to t^i country do not agree with us; i;' t' o acquire the right of suffrage, whirl ? and throw liie.-e qiteMinns int'i polities and subvert our peace an.I de moralize inn' social an< 1 moral conditions. We will have a repetition here of the many disturbances which nro now almost daily occurring i:i tho noi'th to tho great demoralization s of .society and tho injury of tho nountry. Such a stale of things would ho tho greatest calamity that could hou fall us as a people. .1 Are we prepared to open our courts t to divorce? Are wo willing to ehango y our froo school system out of defi orenee to their faith? Do wo wish to 1 see our Sahhath desecrated? Do we t want lo turn hack the great proliihi) lion wavo which is sweeping over tho L south? If not we must slop any ef fort' to bring and settle these people 3 anion# us. * We do not need immigrants. Our L eounlry enjoys a remarkable decree i of prosperity. Our farmers are in < splendid condition; our manufactories i are prospering; our population is i rapidly increasing hy natural growth; j, tiiere is very little vacant oi idlo land j in tlie .-.{tin and in a f"'.\ years this will lie taken up hy ,1 ? "ncre-ise ol our people. Why then introduce an unnecessary and disturbing (dement . among us? No real good ca.i conio from such a scheme and we hopo to , see tho effort effectually buried at , tho next election hy placing in >t!ico men whose coji ictions nr.1 p . . ivo and who will h,iiIy hlocl; .inv i'l'ort ! to fasten such a calamity upon our i people a id stale. In immigration we sei a positive menace !? our polilic-ti unity, our , social purity and our m?vil progress. CAROLINA BANKERS MEET. Recognize tho Need for Greater Cir- ( culating Medium?{Clearing Houso Certificates. The Sla'to, 7th. Ahont .'to memhers of the South Carolina Hankers' association, in- | eluding Mr. W. I). Morgan of (Jeorge- | town, the president, met in Colum- j hia yesterday. These gentlemen rep- i resented the "finances" of practical- , ly every hanking town in the state. . They adopted a resolution that is a j compliment lo the hanking institu- ( lions of Coluiuhia and Charleston. It. . is more. If the re<|uest of the slate's , hankers is complied with there will . he an immediate easement of siring- , I ency and the hanks will he able to ? give muidi more assistance to the cot- , I ton growers. 11 was decided to ask the associa- j lion of banks in the two cities named , lo issue clearing house certificates to : take the place, locally, of the other forms of cash that have been drawn i lo the great centers and are being .held there. If this is done there will | : be experienced and practical olVect of having banks of issue, with elasticity of issue. The foil owner resolution was unauiI niously adopted: I "Whereas, the financial disturb- . a ices in New York have resulted in a j scarcity of actual currency, so much needed at this time lo move the colIon crop of the south, while our bank- . ing institutions are in the best con- v < 1 it ion they have ever been; and, "Whereas, this scarcity of actual currency is also depressing the prices of our products and causing them to < be sacrificed; and, > "Whereas, some measures for sub v slitu'ling a circulating medium in | place of ihis currency i> of extreme ( importance for the protection of the i values of our products; "Now, therefore, we, Ihe said meeting of hankers of Soulli Carolina, do hereby resolve: j "I. That the clearing house associ- i alious of Charleston and Columbia be ( requested to issue clearing house cor- j lillicates lor Ihe general relief of | such condition in this slate as is above described; I "'J. Ami that all banks in the slate be requested lo urge the use of such ( cerlilicales in lieu of currency u.itiI conditions again become normal." If Ihe banks of Columbia and , Charleston issue cerlilicales in response t?i this request those cerlilicales ] will be acceptable as money by banks all over South Carolina, and will be ' I therefore as good as gold for any use < I i'i this state. i - - ?-?
