 Some people cannot reconcile the enormous earnings of the Southern Pa ci1c system with the needs of the com pany for fresh capital. It Is argued that the company placed Itself on rec ord as having financed its needs when it put its stock on a per cent. basis Consequently the demand for 50,00O0 new money Is not understood. It is not generally recognized that the company is spending millions in its extensions into the Puget sound region and into Mexico and Nevada
 If any factor contributed to the after noon setback more than anything else it was probably recovery of 3-4 to 7-S | cent a bushel in wheat, This caused some selling of the grangers, which are the natural leaders at a time when so much depends on the weather. A sea- son of drought or damage from insects, | an dother causes, cause many of the pools in stocks to suspend operations entirely, if, in fact, they do not turn sellers. With an absence of outside support there is no pretext for putting up stocks. Adviees from the southwest were reasonably reassuring, but did not create orders for stocks.
 The Boston copper market Is nearly as stagnant as ttrat here. Speculation is checked by the universal lack of 1 confidence rather than by suspicious that the copper metal market Is too high and is likely to react suddenly. The banks have made brokers liqui- date their loans 50 per cent. One house with $23,000OOO loans before the panic now has S1O,0oO,OOO
 Perhaps for the purpose of stimulat- ing activity a rumor was circulated in the afternon that there had been an earthquake in New Orleans, The story had no effect on Southern railway stocks and the desire for increased ac- tivity was not realized. Nobody be- lieved the story. In fact, about all of the rumors that were circulated in Wall street yesterday fell on deaf ears.
 In spite of the large additions to cap- ital, the boating supply of New York Central appears to be less now than ever. Trading in the stock Is small. Less than 15,00O shares have been dealt in this week The transactions run about 10 per cent. of those in Pennsyl- vania As a 6 per cent. standard stock, selling under 12O and yielding little better than 5 per cent, 1t is fair in- vestment proposition. The company gained six hundred new stockholders last month.

Best Evidence Of Prosperity.

Twenty years ago there were less than l0O
students In the leading male colleges Of this
State. Clemson College was then not In ex-
tstence. During the past year these same col.
leges had an attendance Of something like
had 600 students on her roll. Nor is this all.
Fully 200 students were turne away from
Clemson for lack OF accommodations.
What Is the meaning OF this Increased In
terest in higher education !? Is 1t simply an.
other evidence of prosperity or is 1t an educa'
tional awakening? The large attendance al
Clemson can be explained in part. 1t simply
fulflls q purpose that was long ignored by
our people, and the popularity OF the institu'
ton Is the best evidence OF the importance Of
that purpose. Before the advantages OF a sci
looked with dismay upon those literary insti'
buttons which grind out preachers and PROBES
sional men and plowed on. Clemson has pu,
1t within his power 10 train both the head
and the hand. But the interest in education
has increased everywhere in the State fully
one hundred per cent. This is no where more
apparent han In our common schools where
we nave much larger terms and fully double
the enrolment OF twenty years ago.
Let the good work 60 On. An educated PEG.
pie will be an independent people and
thrifty people. DIR. Carlisle of Wotford Col
lege once said that an educated man could dc
anything better than an uneducated man
that he could even hunt rabbits BETTER
This may not be true as applied 10 individ-
uals, but 1t Is true as applied to communities

Farmers Are Not GETTING Enouh 70.
Their Products.

When farmers can afford to pay as
high wages for field hands as such la
borers are getting in town, and farm.
ers' families eau afford to dress as We'll
as other folks and enjoy the good
things generally that people ip other
callings are doing, then the farmers
are getting enough for their products.
But until that time comes farmers
are not on equal terms with other oc-
equations. -.
OF course good management In sell.
ing farm products and taking care OF
the money after it is made, has as
much to do with how the farmer gets
the benefit of his labor as making good
crops and getting good prices.
Here is where such thriftless farmers
gallo by joining a good Farmers'U Union.
He then can get the benefit of the lex-
perience of the best men in the couns
try, and learn their method of busi-
ness, and get as much for his products
and buy bis supplies as cheap as any
body In the whole country. One reck-
less man who struck the glutted mar
ket on cabbage in a little town ruined
prices for everybody Ivy selling out at
half price before he would carry his
stuff back home and feed it to his
stock. This n reckless man set ruiz
nous prices on all his neighbors' truck
for the lack of information.

Greater Prosperity.

Dr.. ]. 8. Moffatt, president Of Ersklne Col
lege, was in town one day last week. He In
spires one with the belief that the Associate
Reformed church and the Colleges at Due.
West are taking on new life. He expects
an increased number OF students at the col.
leges, and we believe he will not be digap'
pointed, The Synod did the right thing In
electipg him president of Erskine, but the
authorities have not yet fully done the righ'
thing for him and the professors In Erskine.
They we're given a little raise In salary, when
the pay should have been doubled. The
president and the professors deserve more
pay, and the pride, II not the vanity. Of the
church, should see to 1t that Ersk Ines profes.
sors and president receive from 5000 to
$500.
The money which the church now sends 10
Mexico should be paid to men In Erskine, to
pastors, to the college endowmen.s, and to
other good purposes.

Whereas, there is a move on foot in
this state and throughout the Sonthito
fill our Southland with foreign immi-
grants, and whereas, we look upon the
movement as being highly detrimen-
tai to farming inteaests Of this coun-
try, inasmuch a it promises nothing
to anyone except the extreme large
land owners, and the speculative cor
%porations. And whereas, we see that
it cheapens farm labor and increases
production and lowers prices for farm
products. Therefore be 1t resolved,
That we must alphabetically con.
denim the movement, and ask repre-
sentatives in the general assembly to
use all means in their power to defeat
any measure leading to the immigra-
