Amazing Progress of the County
Shown by the Multiplication Of
Banks. ~

Saluda, January 2.-Perhaps there
Is no surer index to the prosperity
of q given section of South Carolina
than the multiplication of banks
within that section, especially when
such multiplication Of banks carries
with ii a tremendous increase OF
banking capital and corresponding
increase In deposits.
= If one VIII take Saluda as a cen
tral peint and draw circle about 1t
with radius Of 25 miles, and make
a comparison in the number Of banks
and banking capital and deposits
within this area, as compared with
two decades ago, the results will be
little less than startling.
Until 1888 there was but one bank
in all this area, the old National
of Newberry, founded in 1871.
Twenty-one years ago, within the
area indicated, the total number OF
banks was one, the total capital was
100000, and the total deposits OF
that one bank was less than $2o0,OoO'
To-day within this area; there are
twenty-five banks, including the old
National of Newberry, as follows
At Greenwood, three; at Newberry,
four;~ Ninety Six, two; ChappeAs,
one; Prosperity, two; Leesville, two;
Batesburg, two; Ridge Spring, one;
Johnston, one; Trenton, one; Edge
field, two; Saluda, one. The total
capital of these twenty-five banks
aggregates upwards Of one and a
quarter millions. Of dollars. The sur
plus foots over half million dol
lars, and the total deposits are more
than three and oneIhalf millions.
In this same area two decades ago
there was not a single cotton mill OF
oil mill. To-day there are a hall
dozen OF the best cotton mills IN the
State and two others building.
There are at least eight oil mills
The aggregate capital Of these III
dustries is over three millions OF

ELECTIONS BY LEGISLATURE.
Several Vacancies on the Circuit
Bench Fall Due NoW.-The In
snrance Commissioner.
Columbia State.

The general assembly at the COM
ing session will have number Of
vacancies to fill by election. These
elections are usually held about the
middle of the session, after the first
scramble over old and new bills has
subsidized, but according to state
ments made by certain members a
resolution will be introduced early
in the present session for an elee-
ton not later than a week after the
body is called to order. The mam-
bers feel that with elections, and
election promises off their hands
they can transact business quicker
and there will be less interruption BY
the friends Of those seeking Office.
An examination Of the book con-
tanning commissioned officers kept
by the Secretary of State shows that
many of those named for trustees. Of
State colleges have failed to secure
their commissions in the past sever
al years. This, applied to every col
lege under State, control and nat
uraNy the legislative committee ap-
pointed to investigate vacancies to
be filed had rather difficult time IN
securing data for report back to
the senate and house.
There are no vacancies to be filled
on the supreme court bench, but sew
eral judges are to be elected for the
circuits. Those whose terms expire
are: c.. G. Dantzler, First circuit; !;
Robert Aldrioh, elected to succeed
James Aldrioh, resigned, Second cir
cult; R. C. Watts, Fourth circuit;
Geo. W.. Gage, Sixth circuit; J. G..
Nugh, Eighth circuit. l.... 4
The general assembly wall also
elect an insurance commissioner. +.
H. McMaster Of this city was cleo
ted when this office was created two
years ago, and his record IS such that
it is doubtful if he will have any OPP
position.
Those whose terms expire as pen
itentiary directors are: v. II. Glenn,
who succeeded B. F. Thomas, resign
ed, and D. B. Perurifoy, whose COM
mission expires on March IL. K
It is hardly probable that Miss
Lavinia H. LaBorde, Of Columbia,
will have any opposition as State IL
brarian, she having filled that posi-
ton satisfactorily for several terms.

in the various colleges, but those
whose Terms expire will not be known
until the legislative committee makes

NEGRO ENUMERATORS
l. TO COUNT NEGROES.
Director .Durand Instructs that
Blacks be Employed to Gather
Information About their Race.

Washington, Jan. 3:-Declarlngg
that the coming census would show a
negro population of more than 3
100000, and the desirabihty OF hay
ing negro enumerators to count the
negro population in those sections OF
the South where the negro popula-
tion is two-ffffths or more, for the
reason that negro enumerators can
obtain more accurate lnformaaon
from their own race than white
enumerators, thus requiring both
negro and white enuneTators IN
many Southern districts, Census Dl-
rector Durand to-day issued general
instructions to supervisors.
'Negroes doubtless can obtain
the information required from their
own race more accurately than white
enumerators,'' says DR.. Durand.
"The white men of the South them
selves recognize the deslrabllity OF
employing negroes to do work OF
this character among their own race.

Hampstead Heath, ENGLAND.
May 10, 1910.

hae TO- A"ANs
Dear friends:
/ left off last week at our arrival
In London We spent the rest CT
the day looking a, rooms. The noise
and smoky air made us decide 10 20
farther from the center. As the city
is as long as from Berea TO Richmond,
we could go out a long way and still
be In the city. About four miles from
the center (Charing Cross) is a wild
stretch OF country OF some seven hun
dred acres, called Hampstead Heath.
When the city of London grew out 10
Hampstead and took in that town,
Il left this wild heath for park. L.
Il different from most parks, while
there are good walks made in all
directions. the fields are left in their
natural sta and nobody is compell-
cd 20 keep off the grass" We fin
ally chose some rooms very near the
edge OF this heath The street we
live on is more quiet than our street
in Berea. In uhe yard behind the hous
are several shade trees and some large
fruit trees In blossom.
People here take boarders in way
that is new to Americans. You rent
a sitting room and the bedrooms you
want. The amount you pay for rent
includes the care OF the rooms and
the cCCRing Of meals. Then you order
whasever food you wish and II Is cook
ed and broughu TO the sitting room
which serves for a dining room es
well. In this way We pay for just what
we order, and we can have our meals
in a private instead of a public room.
We are the only boarders in this
house, so We have the use of the
second floor all to ourselves. and the
pc ople do everything for our COM
fort.
As there are TWO dogs, two canary
birds, two parrots, a piano and a ba-
by in the house, there seemed fair
prospect for variety of music, but
| must say, the baby rarely cries, the
tdldIlto htNti SihSt anu NhS NCeS
never bark.
In two minutes, we can reach the
leath. where We can take long walks
in the fresh air, and climb hills where
we will be on a level with the dome
OF S.. Paups cathedral. When We wish
TO go into the city, we have quite a
choice of routes, by way of which we
reach Charing Cross four miles away
In half hour. Sometimes we take the
tube" which is an electric railway
one hundred and fifty feet under
ground. Sometimes We go part way
by train and part way by horse omni-
bus. Sometimes we go on the top f
a moor bus, which gives us a good
chance 10 see all we pass
One day last week, when Edith,
Cleveland an | were riding out from
the city on the top of motor bus,
gentleman who sat near us asked,
You are Americans" Then he told
us he was an American and that his

dispatches from Washington tell of the great hope
which the Insurgents because Roosevelt has
for conference after he back to America They
counting good chickens il they hatched and claim
that Roosevelt will be with them, thru thick and thin.
This might be nice As general thing sympathy
Insurgents believe working
the whole country than the Stand pae do But

ought well enough know that he will do that
may easily be guesses

will know about it at
In the meanwhile wish to utter just word Of warning
think that Roosevelt will take either side the present
controversy Maybe he will but there several things
slider.
First Roosevelt will join the Stand patters They
against his policies have been against his policies and will be
against his policies They hate him personally and is oolbnss
believe that he will with his enemies against the who
standing the whole for the things he believes
Second Roosevelt will be Insurgent He all
things practical and the Insurgents have often this winter
advantages which they might gained for them
selves and the by insisting too much He believes
them like LaFoete far in their demands and he stands for
the corporations we'll the people, while of the
believe that the corporations fair Finally
works inside the party his whole proves
and he will not do anything that will make a break
What will do do know but bet is that he

Both Sides Watching Roosevelt
insurgents Most Hopeful Just
Now--R Railroad Bill Goes on its
Troubled Way Gold Brick Pre-
scented to Mr.. Taft on His Tariff
Commission Plan.
Washington, d. c.

May 2S, 1910
Il would be very funny, If 1t were
not so sad, to see the way in which
the Reactionaries and Stand-pa1 ers
are hoping against hope that Roose-
welt will not doom them TO slaughter.
For years they fought him tooth
and nail Whenever there was a
chance 10 hit him, they hit. His APP
peals to their loyalty to the parry
were met by laughter. his warnings of
the danger they were running were
scorned. His only method of working
with them was by the use of the
big stick.
And now there could be no hing
sweeter 20 him. If he were revenge
full, than the way in which they are
looking toward him for help. The
storm is beating all around them and
almost daily some survivor of the
old guard is washed away. either
10 be drowned, or appear as a res
cued insurgent. The wrath of the
people is gathering, and these same
Congressman who reviled and con-
demned Roosevelt, are now trying
10 persuade themselves that he viii
save them VIII he?
There was a new plan cooked up
this week, which they hoped was 60
ing to commit Roosevelt TO an indorse
ment of the Administration. They
were going to get up big dinner
in New York-Taft would be there,
and they would ask Teddy 20 speak.
| Under the influence OF the occasion
he was expected to say something
nice that could be taken as a tho-o
Endorsement of Taft, and which Il
was hoped, would include Cannon Al
drich & Co. Really, the Stand-pat-
tiers cannot see how Roosevelt can
be against them. II would hurt the
party they say Taft has done his
best, there is an election coming on,
and SO forth Surely Teddy will help. -
And, just az the c. & A. crowd had
talked themselves into this pleasant
frame of mind, the storm broke.
First, It was announced that Roose-
welt would not be at that dinner.
Then it was announced thai he would
be a. a dinner to be given by Golfers
Weekly. which has led the fight for
the Insurgents. IL is recalled that
he was present at such a dinner just
before he left for Africa, and that
almost every other man there has
been helping the Insurgents along.
And then finally it was learned that
Hamilton Fish, New York insurgent
and long time friend of Roosevelt,
had got a letter asking him to- come
to New York for a conference, and
containing these words:-"You know
now / feel about these things, but
J cannot write of them here"
Now, even If this is all true. it Is
sdll guess work as 20 just what Roose-
welt will do. But the guessing is very
good, and everybody is taking at
least one guess. Most guesses are
that Roosevelt will insurge along with
his friends. Even the C. & A. bunch
are looking if a bank had failed.
However he will be here in three
weeks now, and we will all know.
In the matter of actual legislation
the insurgents have both won and
