THE BLAcksBURG CONNECTION

The Blacksburg connection-or rath-

Col. r. w. Hunt, division passenger

that the people up this way need give
themselves no further concern on the
subject-that the matter of adjustment
will be taken up at once.

YORKVILLE, s. c.;
FRIDAY, JUNE q, 1907.

THE Columbia State of Thursday OF
last week. made a somewhat unusuai
departure in newspaper enterprise IN
this state by issuing an export edi-
ton devoted especially to Charles
ton. The edition consisted of forty
eight pages, filled with interesting in
formation about the numerous advan-
tages and industries of Charleston, and
a large amount of special advertising
matter that made the paper all the
more valuable to it's readers as well as
to the Charleston people. We have
been unable to discover in the edition
a great deal that has not from time to
time been covered by the News and
Courier and the Post, but the novelty
of such a presentation as the State
makes, adds particular value to the
very comprehensive showing. That
this enterprise will prove of beneh'
both to Charleston and The State, we
have no doubt.

Still better it Is practicable to leave
Yorkville in the morning, spend the

and come back by Gastonia the same

The Enquirer has received a note

lows: Have just seen Mr.. Hearn, su-
perintendent, and he will arrange to
make the connection that Yorkville de-
sires at Blacksburg. The change will

he needs for present purposes, and at
other times to be confronted with OPP
portunities for profit, and have no
cash with which to take advantage OF
those opportunities.
Here is the fundamental principle
of modern banking I'm a nutshell. The
man who expects to ask the assistance
of the banks in the shape of future
loans should prepare the way by open
ing a deposit account and allowing the
bank to take care of his surplus. In
this way he establishes the necessary
business acquaintance. Then later on
when he has used his cash and needs
more, it takes very little talk or nego-
tiation to prepare the way for loan
from the bank.
The banks of this locality are as a
rule, very liberal. They will take de-
posits in very small amounts, keep
your accounts straight and hold them
selves in readiness to let you know
where you stand. Where you nave
money that you do not expect to need
for three or four months, the banks
will pay you fair rate of interest
on it.
The fact that so many people or TINS
county are now depositing so much OF
their surplus cash in the banks where
it is available for the use of those who'
though possessed of collateral are
without the all important cash. In
this way the resources of whole COM
munities are always at the disposal Oh
the people who are qualified to use
them to the best advantage Of them
selves and the communities generally
and the danger of disaster is actually
less than if each individual should
pursue the policy of holding on to MS
own boarding.
There is no estimating the value OF
first-class banks to any community
and York county is peculiarly blessed
IN that its banks are second to those
of no other county in the south.

in the following important circular let
ter which he sent out today to the col
onels commanding the three Infantry
regiments, making up the South Caro-
lima brigade: This year Is one or
the most critical periods in the history
Of the South Carolina militia and es-
pecially under the Dick law, and 1t Is
necessary that we make the best possi-
BILE showing at the national encamp-
ment this year. You Will, therefore,
inform the different company COM
manders, of your regiment that the
company falling below rs per cent Of
their enlisted strength will be muster
ed out and that no officer, field or staff,
will be excused for attendance upon
these encampments, except for such
cause as would be received by the war
department as a plausible excuse" Re-
ports have been reaching Columbia the
past several days that the First regi-
ment would likely not go to James,

Value of Our Banks.

One of the greatest factors in build
ing up and conserving the prosperity
of any community is first-class banks,
and in this particular York county is
peculiarly favored, especially during
the past half dozen years.
The function of the properly con-
Quoted bank is to receive and take
care of the surplus funds of those who
are favored with surplus funds, and
to lend money to those who though
having ample security in the way of
property, or responsible friends so sit
uated, but who are without ready
cash.
Every business man, and in fact
every man of affairs knows what it is
to have at times all the ready money
