We judge from the interview,
which is given out from Grcenville by
Senator Latimer, that he has heard
the rumbling noise from the people
on the subject Of immigration. Whcth-
er or not that has had anything to do
with the position, which Mr.. Latimcr
takcs-and We do not for n moment
pretend to say that it has--wc believe
that his position is the correct one
and Is practically the same position,
which has been taken by The Herald
ana News for the last several years,
particularly since the establishment
OF our department of immigration in
TINS state. II is the only sane and
reasonable position to take.

1t would seem from the reports,
which we read in the daily papers
yesterday that Saluda iNs been at
work and has not been doing much
talking lately in regard to the build
ing Of Il railroad into and through this
most fertile section Of South Carolina.
According to these reports the organ
lzation has been completed and work
was commenced yesterday morning at
Greenwood, and it is proposed to
build the road into Saluda and it is
claimed that the road will be in oper-
alton within eighteen months. The
distance, it is stated. is twcnty-ninc
miles. This road will go through one
Of The most fertile sections Of South
Carolina and Il section that is in "r.a!
need Of railroad facilities. We are
glad that the people Of Salda are at
last TO have railroad entering the
county seat.
This, nowcv2r, should not interiors
in the least with the bnildin" Of the
trolley, which we have been talking
about, from Edgcficd via Saluda to
Ncwbcrry. In fact, it should be adj
dltional incentive in the building of
this trolley line.
We should think il was about time
that Chairman Nicholson was calling
his committees together to hear the re-
ports, which they were instructed to
make after having secured the nee
eSsary information.

PUT TO THE TEST

IN the lace of the minimum price
fixed by the farmers in their cony,n-
tons as the Southern Cotton asoria

ION at Fifteen cents. and in the fnco
OF the further fact that the mills are
making profit OUT of thirteen to
hit2cn cents cotton at the present
pncc or cotton goods, and with the
still additional Fact that the prospcct
Tor this crop is that il will be below
the consumption, the price Of cotton
continues to go down. There can be
but one explanation Of this, as we see
IT. and that is, that the money DOW
er in the money center of New York,
through the spectators, Is putting
the farmers and their organizations
TO the test.
The demand and supply has absol-
utely nothing to do with the down.
ward tendency Of the cotton market:
the price Of cotton goods has nthiws
TO do with il; the fight is on between
the spectators in this great staple
OF the southern farmer and the south
ern farmer himself. The question at
issue IS SGuarcly up to the cotton
grower. If he stands the test. he has
the victory won for years to come =:

As we see il, il is the duty of all
the citizens Of the south, including
the merchants and bankers, to stand
sDuarcly up to The southern cottor
grower and help him to meet this tcsl
and win the victory. IF they will dc
so, and the farmers will stand by the
resolutions. which have been adopted
by their organizations, they can con
troll the situation. but, just as Surel,
as the farmers continue to markc
their cotton at the present price, jus
so surely they admit defeat in thi
great contest. We have been of tn,
opinion that it was 4 mistake to pu
the minimum price at fifteen cents
and we still believe it was mistak
and that it would have been grca
deal better to have made the minimum
thirteen cents, as agreed upon by TIL
organization Of the Southern Cotto,
association in this state, but through
their representatives all of the cot
ton growing states having fixed tn
minimum at fifteen cents, they SHOULD
stand to the rack and meet this tcs
of the spectators.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Aug. 2o.--Csonsiderations of a political character governed today's stock market almost to the exclusion of all other things.
 Secretary Tafts speech which Wall Street chose to regard as the keynote Of the next national campaign and President Rooseveit's Provlncetown address were practically the sole topics of the discussion in financial and speculative circles. There was natural ly much conflict of opinion as to the signif- icance of these important utterances. The situation was further complicated by the Presidents supplementary remarks in which he made direct reference to existing finan- cial conditions and declared with much emphasis that for the remainder of his tenure of office the governmental policy with regard to the prosecution of offending trusts and corporations would be unchang- ed. Business local exchanges was halt ing and uncertain and again in moderate volume. The undertone was uncertain but the fact that the market became dull on all marked recessiops was regarded as favor able sign.
 London seemed disturbed at the tone of Secretary Taft's speech and our securities were lower in that market Aside from slight shading in foreign exchange there was nothipg new in the gold exports situation and the feeling with regard to shipments was less apprehensive. The weakest issues in the local market were the traction shares,
  particular movement. In fact Brooklyn Rapid Transit sold at the lowest price in some years and the Interboropgh Metropoii- tan stocks also went to new low levels. Concerning the latter it was a matter of board room gossip that the dividend on Old Metropolitan shares would probably be sus- pended with a reduction in the dividend rate of some of the stocks in the subsidiary companies. In fact it has become settled conviction that nothing short of complete reorganization can restore confidence to this group of securities.
 There was a revival of the recent reports that application for a receivershiD is im- pending but that no action will be taken un- til the public service commission has fin ished it's inquiry. American Tobacco com mon. which Is supposed to be controlled in, large part by the Interborough-Metropolit interests. broke 20 points on the curb during the early session on what appeared to be enforced liquidation. The general list made further recovery in the last hour. the highest prices of the day being then attain ed.
 Final prices were somewhat shaded. but tha closing was moderately active and firm. The bond market was irregular. Total sales par value s1.230.0 900. United States threes and the registered fours declined X. and coupon fours < per cent.
