f|REMEN'S FUND ENJO|NED.
DECLARED UNCONSTTTJTJONA
BY SUPREME COURT.
icnsiohs Can Only be Given by Gen.
eral Assembly to Soldiers or Naval
Men Declares the COurt-Imnortan
Decision.

Inc supreme court yesterday de-
clared unconstitutional the firemen.s
pension act passed in 1905. This is
tne END OF long. hard fight conduct
ed between the fire insurance COM
panies and the South Carolina Fre-
mems Relief association as to the le-
gality Of 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.
me act was first passed by the gen.
eral assembly about three years ago.
Incorporating the South Carolina Fire
mems Relief association and directing
that IN each city and town where
there was an organized fire depart
ment, tax Of 81 on each 800 in pre-
mfums be levied for this fund. The
act was afterwards amended so as to
limit this tax to towns and cities
where at least $1,000 of fire apparatus
was owned. 1t was estimated that this
would raise about $1,000 a year for
the association.
The insurance companies at once
took the matter into the courts and
a 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. 1t is also
held that no public purpose was sus-
tanned, as taxation was defined.

STATE BANKERS MEETING.
NEED OF GREATER CIRCULA.
TlON is RECOGNIZED.
Banks Of Charleston and Columbia
arc Requested to Issue Clearing
House Certificates Which Will be as
Good as Gold.

Columbia, Nov about 80 mem
bers Of the South Carolina Bankers
association, including Mr.. w. D. Nor
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. 1t is more. II the request of
the States 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.
1t was decided to ask the associa-
ton 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. II this is done there will
be experienced the practical effect Of
having banks OF issue, with elasticity
Of issue.
The following resolution was unan-
,mously adopted:
Whereas. the financial disturbances
In New York have resulted in q
scarcity Of 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 tc
be sacrificed; and.
whereas. some measures for sub
stitutinr circulating medium In
place Of this currency is of extreme
Importance for the protection Of the
values Of our products;
"Now, therefore, we, the said meet
ing OF bankers Of South Carolina, do
hereby resolve
81. That the clearing house asso.
Citations OF Charleston and Columbia
be requested to issued clearing house
certificates for the general relief OF
such condition In this State as Is above
described:
-. 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"
II the banks OF Columbia and
Charleston issue certificates In re-
,ponse 70 this request those certifl-
Gates will be acceptable as money by
banks all over South Carolina. and
will be therefore az good as gold for
any use in this State.
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1907-11-13

The banking institutions Of Colum-
bia and Charleston have agreed to
issue clearing house certificates to
relieve the financial situation in this
state. The Columbia banks will issue
S240, 900 in local currency which will
considerably relieve the situation In
that section.
