XKKD OF GREATER CIRC.TLA TiON IS UKCOGMZKI). Banks of CThsrlrstQU ami Columbia are Requested to Issue Clearing House Certificates Which Will be as Good as Gold. Columbia, Nov. 7.?About 30 mem? bers of the South Carolina Bankers' association, including Mr. W. D. Mor? gan of Georgetown, the president, met in Columbia yesterday. These gentle? men represented the "finances" of practically every banking town in the State. They adopted a resolution that is a compliment to the banking institutions of Columbia and Charles? ton. It Is more. If the request of the State's bankers is complied with there will be an immediate easement of stringency and the banks will be able to give much more assistance to the cotton growers. It was decided to ask the associa? tion of banks In the two cities named to issue clearing house certificates to take the place, locally, of the other forms of cash that have been drawn to the great centers and are being held there. If this is done there will be experienced the practical effect of having banks of issue, with elasticity of issue. The following resolution was unan? imously adopted: "Whereaa, the financial disturbances In New York have resulted In a scarcity cf actual currency, so much needed at this time to move the cot? ton crop of the South, while our bank? ing institutions are in the best con? dition they have ever been; and, "Whereas, this scarcity of actual currency Is also depressing the prices of our products and causing them to bo sacrificed; and, ''Whereaa, some measures for sub? stituting a circulating medium In place of this currency is of extreme importance for the protection of ths values of our products; "Now, therefore, we, the said meet? ing of bankers of South Carolina, do hereby resolve "1. That the clearing house aaso -lattions of Charleston and Columbia be requested to issued clearing house certificates for the general relief of , Mich condition In this State as is above described; "2. And that all banks In the State be requested to urge the use of such certificates in lieu of currency until conditions again become normal." If the banks of Columbia and Charleston ismie certificates in re *pons> to this re iuest those certifi? cate? will be acceptable as money by banks all ovsr South Carolina, and will be therefore as j^ooO as gold for any use In this State. , SUMTER HORSES GET MONEY. -j Messrs.

FIREMEN'S FUND ENJOINED. DECLARED LN CONSTITUTIONAL BY SUPREME COURT. Pensions Can Only be Given by Gen? eral Assembly to Soldiers or Naval Men Declares the Court?Important Decision. ?A tickling cough, from any cause, Is quickly stopped by Dr. Shoop's Oough Cure.

A committee of citizens of Chester county will memorialize the next legis? lature to establish a Confederate home for aged veterans. The supreme court yesterday de? clared unconstitutional the firemen's pension act passed in 1906. This is the end of a long, hard fight conduct? ed between the fire Insurance com? panies and the South Carolina Fre men's Relief association as to the le? gality of a tax on the gross premiums in certain cities and towns for the relief of Injured firemen or for death benefits to the widows or orphans of firemen killed while on duty or retired by age. The let was first passed by the gen? eral assembly about three years ago, incorporating the South Carolina Fire men's Relief association and directing that in each city and town where there was an organized fire depart? ment, a tax of 32 on each $100 in pre? miums be levied for this fund. The act was afterward? amended so as to limit this tax to towns and cities where at least $1,000 of fire apparatus was owned. It was estimated that this would raise about $5,000 a year for the association. The insurance companies at one* took the matter into the courts anq temporary injunction was issued until the case could be heard. The decision yesterday perpetually enjoin? ed the comptroller general from col? lecting this money on the ground that the tax was special legislation and therefore unconstitutional. It is also held that no public purpose waa sus? tained, as taxation waa defined. He Fought at Gettysburg. ?David Parker, of Fayette, N.
