Kelly of King* tree had no \ interest In the Wsdcsboro-Fior? ertCe train, but he was permitted to give reasons why another train should be run from Lanes to Florence. Thin he did in a very earnest and forceful way. He showed that for 30 years Klngstree. Lake City and other places between Lanes and Florence had been able to get to Columbia only by gotrg around by Florence; that the cttiaens i f that section could go to Florence or Georgetown In the morn? ing, but not In the afternoon. They practically had only one train a day each way. They had endured this condition for a long time uncomplain? ingly .but now that the towns along the line were both populous and wealthy they felt that such condi? tions were unendursble. Mr. Chapman of McColl told of his flourishing section and of the very In? convenient and Insufficient schedules which were forcing business men there to do business with Baltimore and Northern cltlea rather than with etiles In their own State. It was more convenient to go to Baltimore than to Columbia or Charleston and the mall connections were better. The railroad comml.?sh>n took thc? matter under advisement ami will an? nounce their decision lat*r. This Is the third hearing on the matter, the first being In Columbia and the sec? ond at Sumter about two weeks ago. ?The State.

'Bo Just f SUM' CLEARING HOUSE CERTIFICATES SUMTER ADOPTS PLAN AGREED ON BY STATE BANKERS. Clearing Rouse Certificates. Issued . .Through Charleston and Columbia Clearing House Association Will Be Put In Circulation By Local Banks ?Banks Have Their Normal Sup ply of Currency, But Will Issue The banks of this city are in excel? lent condition, and have not yet felt the evil effects resulting from the panic In New York. All of the banks have on hand the normal amount of curency, and. having repaid the New York banks the money borrowed dur? ing the summer, would be in a posi? tion, under normal conditions, to han? dle the business of this city arid coun? ty with the utmost ease. But, owing to the abnormal conditions created in New York by the panic and the mone? t?r v stringency that has resulted therefrom, the banks of the entire country are finding it a matter of the greatest difficulty to maintain a sup? ply of currency sufficient to transact their ordinary business. The refusal off the New York banks to supply currency, either through Inability or unwillingness to do so, is rapidly de? pleting the supply of currency in the South, and, unless steps are immedi? ately taken to provide a circulating medium for local use and to check the constant drain that Is1 gradually concentrating all the currency of the country In the New York hanks, the business of the South will, in & very Abort time, be at n standstill. Already the banks In some sections of this State are feeling the pinch and ire finding It almost impossible to handle, their business with the small amount* of currency they have on hand Practically all of these banks ?have large cash balances on deposit In the banks of Xc<w . York and in other financial centers, but cannot jbtsln curency from them. The situ? ation is rapidly growing more acute, [and the bankers of the State, fore? seeing the troubles ahead of' them, 4uaet in Co^mluje. lait week and per? fected arrangements for the issue of ''lenrlng House certificates through the Clearing House Association of "harleston and Columbia, the certifi? cate - to be guaranteed by the deposit of gilt edge securities, such as State bonds and United States bonds. City of Charleston bonds, etc. These Clear? ing House certificates will be Issued through thf local hanks throughout th* Stat?> and will circulate as cur? rency, relieving the pressure for ac? tual momy. Wiiile the banks of Sumter uro not yet In a position \vh?n the need for (71 -arlng House certificates Is urgent. It has beefl decided by the bankers and business nien that it will be the Wisest and safest policy to put the certificates Into circulation immedi? ately and stop at once the depletion of their supply of currency. To put the plan Into operation at once and to guarantee the co-operation of the %u*dness men. bankers and oth? rs the following papers were circulated fcr signatures today: Whereas, the Clearing House Asso? ciations of Charleston and Columbia have ^Issued Clearing House certifi? cates, In order to supply the demand for money; And. whereas, there Is a need for money In Sumter to enable our peo? ple to hold cotton and market same at proper times; Therefore, we, the merchants of Sumter. request the four banks of the city of Sumter to accept such Clearing House certificates on deposit and In payment of debts, and we pledge ourselves to take Clearing House certificates In payment for goods, and for debts.

Preached at Trinity Church, Charles? ton, Ry Dr. J. W. Daniel, of Sum? ter. From the News and Courier. A large congregation attended ser? vice at Trinity M. E. Church yester? day morning. The Rev. Dr. J. W. Daniel delivered a very interesting sermon, his text being 1 Cor. 7: 14; and was in substance as follows: It is observable that Paul regards the offspring of Christian parents as having considerable advantage from a moral point of view over the chil? dren of men and women who are not Christians. He Is speaking in this place of divorce, one of the evils which today threatens the sancitlty of American home life, and admonishes the believers in the Church at Corinth that an unbelieveing, or heathen, hus? band or wife is no ground for the severance of the marriage contract, and incidentally remarks that the "unbelieving husband Is sanctified by the believing wife and vice versa* Therefore he argues the offspring of parents, where only one Is a genuine Christian, is holy. The assertion of the apostle relative to the offspring of truly Christian pa? rents is not remarkable consdiered from a rational point of view. It is a mistake to suppose or assert that God made everything Just as It exists. On the contrary God made everything which comes within the realm of human usage susceptible of improvement. To illustrate, God made the rose, but not the rose with which we are most familiar. Man took the rase which God made and developed from it the rose which adorns our gardens. Py culture man hfts put into the ordinary wild rose rmueh that it did not possess.in its original state. G<>d created the*wild dog which man domesticated, and de? veloped into a hundred species, very different not only from -the original creation but different in size, traits and many particulars Irom *aeh oth <*r; God created the apple?thr ordi? nary wild crab of the forest, but man talcing it as a basis develops from it the apple as we have it. Tf the positive .'.ss< rtion, therefore, of the apostle that th*'* offspring <>f Christian parents arc Inherently dif? ferent from a moral point of view from those of Godless parents, it should be an incentive to th.?se who profess to be followers of Christ to enter into the closest relationship With God and cherish daily s the loftiest Ideals which God has set be? fore us. In these times when divorce is made easy, let every true man and woman seek to blot out this shame, which threaten! to engulf all that is dear to the pure and righteous citi? zen of our common country. ENTERTAINMENT CALLED OFF. (Tural School Entertainment Changed to Another Bate* for Various Rea? sons. The entertainment for the benefit of the "Rural* School," which was to have been at the residence of Mrs. E. J. Dunn, in Lee county, Friday even? ing. Nov. 22, is called off because of the hot supper given at the same place on Friady, the 15th, and be? cause of the races and so on in Sum? ter the following week. We wish to say to our friends, please don't forget that this entertainment is still to. be given, and while we are planning to cl >ar a good many dollars, we are also planning to give every? body, young and old, a royal good time. LIVER WHOLE LIFE AT HOME. Aged Woman Never Saw a Train, Yet Lived Only Ten Miles Away. Franklin, Ky., Nov. 11.?Mrs. Mary Morris died at Arthur, Edmonson county, a few days ago. aged 84 years. She had lived on the same farm f?r> years and had not been off the place but three times. She lived within 10 miles of the railroad and never saw a train. Her farm is half a mile from Green river, yet she never saw the river but once. She spun and wove her own clothes and raised B large family. Her lack of curiosity to see the world was amaslng to her family, who came and went at their will. A negro was held up in Canvlen on Saturday night by two white men and robbed of something over $f>. id Truth's." THE TKU 3 1907. Sew 8. MARTIN FOB SENATOR. SUPERINTENDENT of EDUCA? TION MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT. Would Enter Race for United States Senate Against A. C. Latinicr Next Summer?His Platform is Rather Vigorous. ^Columbia, Nov. 11.?Hon. O. B. Martin, the State superintendent of education, today announced himself a candidate for the United States sen? ate. He will run against Senator A. C. Latimer in the campaign next sum? mer. Mr. Martin's formal announcement, which was handed 'the Record this morning, is as follows: "Years ago in making up an old field school, it waB customary to ask each patron. 'How many scholars will you subscribe?' I am ready now to subscribe one full 'scholar' in the race for the United States senate dur? ing the coming campaign. 'Having reached such a decision, af? ter careful consideration and advice, I do not need to keep an ear to the ground nor to take to the tall tim? ber to await developments. I adopted the policy long ago of speaking freely and frankly upon such matters. I believe the average healthy citizen would prefer a public servant should make a mistake occasionally rather than to purusue a clandestine policy of mawkish do-nothing-ism. | N^'It is clear to me that I could be of service in the senate. My experi? ence as a school otficer can be turned to good account. There are ^everal bills pending in congress now looking to the aid and encouragement of ag? ricultural and industrial education. ! have a. speaking acquaintance with every State school system in th_* United States. I also know some ed? ucational leaders and promoter;; in all parts of our codntry. Tnls knoweldege could easily be extend'*d to countries abroad. It would b? a pleosur?? to place my services at the disposal of school officers to assist in the further development of our schools. "I do not like to make campaign promises, but 1 believe that 1 Ttfouid do so much work in this line alone that it certainly would not be neces Utry for the people in our neighbor? ing States to ask, 'who is the other senator from South Carolina?' "Furthermore. I have# been a stu? dent of government and gowrnment al affairs since I was old enough t rtad the county papers. I am not unmindful of South Carolina's great, part in the history <>f our country. "Nearly sixteen years ago, when I had hut recently passed my majority, i att< nded a political pow-wow in ray home county of Picket's and heard our present junior senator make some promises in his first race for con. gress. He was elected. for nearly half of a generation I have beer, watching his record. I believe the people are about prepared to write, at least under the sjnatoral part thereof. 'Mono, mene, teko! upharsin." He seems disposed to base his pres? ent campaign upon futures. The i eo ple prefer spots. He announces a platform opposed to injurious Immi? gration. All possible and probable candidates have been, are now. and will hereafter be opposed to the same ?hing. It is not enough to have a merely negative platform, i have thought all along that if the frugal and thrifty formers and laborers ol Minnesota, Wisconsin. Michigan and the Dakotas knew that they could se? cure land as rich as the prairies, for one-fourth of what they could get for their own land, that they would come here instead of going to Canada. Many of these people came from Northern Europe less than ten years ago. They know our language and customs. If we had secured 500 of these people, they would make a drawing neucleus for the best Euro? pean Immigration. They would also make 500 first class interpreters. 1 do not see how immigrants can be handled without numerous interpre? ters. I believe the Homewood colony in Horry county and the Lake Charles settlement In Louisiana point the way to the ultimate solution of the immi? gration problem. "But the question to be settled in the senatorial campaign Is whether the present junior senator will give up his bifurcated residence In Mexico and Washington and immigrate to his vast estates In the grand old coun? ty of Anderson. "Another campaign slogan which is still in the promissory state is 'Good Roads,' but the junior senator alone paved the good road with topper and flecked with milestones of minted gold. "Another futurity Is 'Drainage,' but the question naturally arises whether it Is drainage of the swamps or drain? age of the treasury. I t?n. E SOUTHRON, Established June, ISM jries?Vol. XXVII. So 16 "Of course, I am aware of the fact that the present governor has man', farted symptoms of senatorial aspira? tion. I do not know whether he will run or not, but if so, then I shall have better opoprtunity to present cogent reasoning, face to face, than I had when he was considering ap? pointments vital of ihe department of education. Having injected poll tics into the educational department, he ought not to be surprised to meet the head of that department In poli? tics. If he decides to enter the race for the United States senate. I shall meet him at Phillippi."?Columbia Record. TEDDY AND TAFT DESPISED. Georgia Republicans, Says Rlodgett, Are Universally Opposed to These Men. Atlanta, Ga., Nov . 11.?Chairman T. M. Blodgett, of the Republican State League, today gave out a letter he has written to First Assistant Post? master General Frank H. Hitchcock, asking the latter to meet him in a joint debate in Macon, November 20, when he will demonstrate to Mr. Hitchcock, according to the letter, "no men in America are so univer? sally despised by the Republicans of Georgia as are Roosevelt and Taft." Mr. Hitchcock, it is said, will be In Macon on the date mentioned to ad? dress the Georgia postmasters, who will meet to complete their organiza ; tion and Chairman Elodgett has taken j advantage of the opportunity to chal? lenge the Assistant Postmaster Gee eral to a joint debate on political is? sues before a mass-meeting of Repub? licans which he has called for that time. ' The Republican State Lea^ua op? poses the administration of President Roosevelt and will support Forakcr, of Ohio, for the next Republican presidential nominee. TREASURY FUNDS FOR WEST. Cortclyou Wants Some of tl?c Money For the Western Banks. Washington, Nov. 8.?National hanks In New York city which have been aided with deposits of treasury funds ure now allied to place-some of i this money in the banks of the Wrest. L aving the White House at the close of the Cabinet meeting today. Secre- ' tary Cortclyou said he had already communicated this desire to some banks in New York, and would sug t * 'i gett such action on the part of others row holding large deposits. During thi. critical period of fwo weeks ago the tr< asury department made heavy deposits in New York. Secretary Cortetyou now' thinks it is time for these banks to let go some of j this Vr.oney in order that it may be I used for the aid of financial instutl | tion? in other parts of the United I .States. ^ kJj NEW DIPTHERIA CURE. v _ i German Professor Claims to Cure Most Dangerous Cases. < Munich. Nov. 11.?Prof. Ruuolpfl Entmerieh, Professor of Hygiene in the University of Munich, declares that he has (Jsc^.ere^ a cure for diphtheria, wh ir ..^ effective in evert the most dangerous cases. This remj edy is called "pyocyanaec" and is produced from the as .lation of the pyocyfvra?u? bac;lli developed in liquid cu!tu~c<. This matter is blown into th rath nt's thro. t. and completely ..? stroys all the diphtheria bacilli. Brains and money build up a bus ness, but part of these factors must be judiciously used in advertising to make a business a real success. There is more Catarrh tn thi S SCO* tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be in? curable. For a great many years, doc? tors pronounced it a local disease ind prescribed local remedies, and by eonstar tly falling to cure with local treatment prononuced it incurable, science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment* Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F.
