1,ntered at the Io tI ce e -o berry. S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, November 12, 1907. "THE STEANGER.." The Edgefield Chronicle speaks as follows concerning Mr. Caldwell's novel: "A very promi;ent newspa per man of Atlanta, writing to us, says this of our gifted and honored friend of Newberry. And. his high estimate of Maj. Caldwell's beauti ful book conineides perfectly with our own: 'Do you know a Mr. F. J. Cald well in South Carolina? I can't re tnember his home place. He wrote a fine book. called "The Stranger." I reviewed it. It is the best story on Reeonstruction times I've ever read. If you ever see Mr. Caldwell, tell him he ought to edvertise that book more thlan he has done up to this time. The truth is you South Carolina men of the old school don't know how to make money. You are above making mnoney. " This is but 'a deserved compliment to a most delightfully written story. It is a good story of reconstruction and every child in the southland as well as every grown up person should read it. It is true that we South Carolina people do not know how to make money. This is not so bad on ar raignment but we do 'not appreciate the history we have made and there can be no question we have made and are making it and we are too modest in recording it and preserving it and very frequently our own people do not give that en couragement to' those who give of their talent and time to recording and preserving it. "The ,Stranger" should have a large sale. It is a beautifully writ ten story and is based on historic facts of the eventful periods of our history. The Greenwood Banks have decid ed to issue certificates of credit and the banks of Columbia have already issued $240,000. This should ease up the situation and for local punposes~ these certiueates are just as good as any other currency. In Columbia several of the -mer chants advertise that they will allow a preimum for any one trading' at their stores and paying in certificates. Summer Bros. Co., of Newberry, also give notice, that they wvill give a pre imum for t his certificate currency. This shows the confidence our busi ness men have in this class of cur O rency. It is perfectly safe and sound and just as good as government notes. PUT YOUR MONEY IN~ BANKXS. 6 We publish in another column an article from Mr. D. A. Tompkins on the financial question. He speaks of the present situation 'and the neces sity of an elastic currency.' There is one point inl his article to .whichi we desire to draw especial at * tention.' We had intended .. speak of it before reading his article and are glad Lo find our idea on this phase of the situation sustained by so able * authority. We quote this paragraph: "High-price cotton and good wages -miake a good condition. In times like these when times are good but only ready cash is short everybody ought to put money 'in the -banks to keep the good prices up. Taking money out of circulation tends to decrease prices and wvages and whoever does it is con tributing to break down the good pri ees for farm products and gpod wages. ''It's a little like the ship-wreck ed mariner who saw water every * where and not one drop to drink.'' Everybody is rich, the country is prosperous, more so than in its his tory and yet there is almost a panic * because nobody has any money. There is no currenev. In a time like this every one who has any money instead of drawing it from the banks and putting it in his pockets. or in strong boxes should put it in the banks. By so doing it would be kept in circulation and hellp to do - the business of the country and be perfectly safe for the owner of the cOin. Si000 balcs of c'ttonl old since thle seatso..)1)upe. ThisF* rei.rIet at least a half-million dollars. The asum of $500.000) paid out in this community in two months to the farmers for an article of produce should make the money market easy with us. We have no doubt you would be' suirprised to k:Vo thle amou 'lnt of this half mil lativn by beiig leld ill sluzll stnis I ?rom circulaLiun were deposited ii the banks. The -banks in this count; are strong adA able to meet all thei obligations but what is ueeded is cur rency to help move lu coLton or t< advance to tiose wno are noiding ali wno. owe something on tue. cotton.the are holding.

Senator Latimer's position on th< imumigration question is impregnable .e says he is heartily in tavor of de si.rale inuuwrants coming to Souti Carolina but is unalterably oppose( to a flood of undesirables tein brought in. No one dare say mori or less than this.--Sumter Item. It has been a little amusing to sei the big amount of interviews an< discussions and newspaper editorial on the position of Senator Latimer Does any body favor undesirable im migrants coming to South Carolina If he does he has not expressed him self. Would anybody oppose desir able immigrantst The question migh arise on the definition of "desir..ble' and there is room for difference o: opinion on. this definition. Since- the last decision of the im migration bureau of the Federal gov ernment we cannot spend our mone: in paying passage and sending agent: into Europe to induce immigrauts We can show to the world our won derful natural resources and inviL all good people to come and be hom< ownlrs and good citizens. This agitation, however, has beei a great thing for Senator Latimei and his position is as the Item say impregnable and has the endorsemen of a large majority of the people o. this state which is the vital poin just now in this controversy. We hope every cotton grower wil read the editorial from Saturday Ev ening P'ast as quoted in the Farmer Union column today and ask himsel what he thinks of the sentiment ther expressed. *That is about the way the souttherr cott.on planter has permitted himsel to be .treated for many years and i: he will continue to be a slave he de serves nothing better. He has it in his power to be the most independent cit izen of the republic if he but will Cotton runs into money very fast says the Post, and the country mus depend upon it largely to turn thi tide this way. -"'That, in view. o: such need,'' says the post, "plan ters should hold cotton for merel; personal gain is truly resprehensi ble.'' Tha't is refreshirng for its gal] The southern farmer must sacrifice his personal interests for the good o: the country and the pockets of th< gamblers. 1Then the Post says, the "hank generally will keep them (the cotto2 planters) in the pat hof duty by re fusing to 'extend loans on stored cot ton.'' Then a gentleman from Pennsyl vania is going to introduce in con ress a bill "forbidding planters t< withhold a singletbale that was read: for export.'' 'This must be a- joke The farmers who grow cottoi should take heed and by growing what they need on the farm be it position to hold at their good p'leas ure. ITCH IN THE SKIN, NOT IN TB] BLOOD.
