Mr.. Lee G. IIolleman, the state

cd to learn in The State yesterday of
the action Of the South Carolina
bankers' recommending the issue Of
clearing house certificates by Colum-
bia and Charleston.
81 believe that il will give Us the
circulating medium we need just
now,' he said, "and therefore will
relieve the situation entirely. | have
no hcsltancy in saying that the banks
of this state are in splendid condition
and there is not the slightest danger
OF any trouble. The guarantee Of
the credit Of the Charleston and CO.
lnmbia banks would be behind such

that IS needed to make the paper
just rs valuable as government mon-
cy.
''Tlie banks in other sections have
been taking the currency away and in
order TO move the cotton aid in fact
to secure enough for the ordinary
everyday business it may become
necessary to make currency more
elastic. Therefore, [ am very much
pleased with the action Of the bank

Charleston banking Institutions can
see their way clear to comply.

Augusta chronicle.
That anything unusual or out of
tho ordinary would occur in connec-
tion with the balloon ascension at the
fair grounds yesterday was not known
to the fair management, the ncwspa-
pers or any Of the public. But it was
unusual and decidedly out OF the Or
dinary. In fact, there were but two
people in all Augusta VINO knew of
any idea Of a change in the balloon
program, up to within very few
minutes before the time scheduled
for the ascension, then third party
was taken into confidence by Mr..
Broadwick, the balloonist, when he
told the chairman, Of the amusement
committee Of the fair grounds, and
that made confidential.
The regular announcement, as per
the contract with tho fair people was
that Mr.. Broadwick would make the
ascent and dead parachute drop Of
500 feet before the big umbrella af-
fair opened after leaving the balloon
That's what thousands Of people ex-
peoted to see as part Of the after
noon program, and what many Of
them went to the fair grounds OK
pressly to see. Had there been any
intimation Of what was to take place
there would have been more people,
beyond doubt, but the treat came
in the surprise.
The balloon and trapezc were pre-
pared as usual for and by Mr.. Broad
wick and Absolutely nothing indicated
that he would not go up. But, within
less than five minutes, in fact hardly
more than two minutes, before tinc
big bag assembled, and only after ev-
erything was complete aid ready, a
young Augustan, who had never be-
fore had more to do with balloon
than watch the bag go into the air
or interview the balloon man, peeled
off his coat and vest, took seat on
the trapeze, the guy ropes were re-
leased and the big air machine noun

B. Seabrook, a member Of the Au-
gusta Chronicle staff.
There were some hundreds Of peo-

personally, and who were surprised

their surprise than that Of his asso-
ciates III The Chroniclc Office, who

additional stories were put on the

Yesterdays market action in New
York had stronger tone than pre-
vailed on Saturday and was not a bad
beginning for the week. Copper re-
covered to 13 cents and silver took
advance of about cents from SO.
If the strength of the metal gains
during the week, or even holds it's
avn, there will be better times for
the stocks. The latter yesterday
about held even. The coppers bene-
fitted little from the better position
of the metal. The recovery of the
latter would seem to destroy the re-
port which was current of an or
ganized drive expected to crowd the
metal down to the neighborhood of
10 cents. That figure would of course
enable consumers to clean up mil
lions in profits and would be a very
desirable way for them to clean up
the copper surplus in advance of the
high prices which their attitude is
forcing around for the early part of
the year. Yesterdays closing quota
