There is at this time more
currency in the country than at
any time in its previous history.
There have teen issued through
the treasury department since
August 4 more than $500, O,O0O,-
600 Of additional national bank
currency, which. together with
the relaxation in business,
should create an abundance of
loanable funds. This depart
ment will withdraw govern
ment deposits from banks found
to be boarding money and
charging excessive rates of
interest and will redeposit them
with banks whose funds are
being loaned at reasonable rates
to meet the legitimate demands
of business and for moving the
crops.
This department. would like
very much to have your coopera-
tion in its efforts to remedy these
unsatisfactory conditions andre
spectfully asks if it would not
be possible for you to secure
from all state banks and trust
companies in your state state
ments which will show their
cash reserves as of a recent date,
the rates of interest which they
are charging on existing loans
and the rates which they are
demanding for new accomoda-
tions, and give this department
the benefit of the information
disclosed by these reports.
It's confidently believed that
if all banks can be persuaded to
use their resources intelligently
and CONSIDERABLY and at reason
able rates Of interest to meet the
legitimate demands in their re-
spective communities, the whole
situation can be greatly relieved
and business restored to a salts
factory if not an entirely normal
basis. Kindly answer -

A gentleman in the truest sense
of the term, a lawyer of marked

and brilliant conversationalist,
he madefriends amongall classes
and enjoyed the good will and
friendship of all who knew him.

The week following the Sec
ond Sunday in September [ held
my meeting at Mt. Pisgah, in
Anderson county. Two young
men living in the community,
now students in Furman uni
versity, viz: Rev. Andrew Pick
ems and Rev. Walter Coker, rem
dered valuable service in the
meeting, as did Rev. W. J. Bolt,
Of Greer. Mostof the preaching
was done by Rev. j. F. Vines,
D.. D.. of Anderson. It would
take some one with better de-
scriptive power than I have to
describe the preaching and the
meeting.
We erected a large tent near
the church to accommodate the
thousands who came to hear the
Word of God as delivered by His
servant. DIR. Vines is a power
erful platform speaker, a preach
er of wonderful force and power.
His arguments were convincing,
at times unanswerable, and so
the sinners surrendered to King
Emmanuel. DR.. Vines is without
doubt one of the greatest revi
valists to be found anywhere in
in our country. The sweet Cos
pei singer of Pickens, Prof. r. NJ.
Bolding, conducted the singing.
He was ably assisted by others
too numerous to mention. At
times the singing was thrilling.
Forty-ive were added to the
membership, thirty-four by hap
tism.
This was perhaps the greatest
meeting eyer held in this section
of the country, and we hope to
see and to feel the good effects
of the meeting for years to come
by bringing about a better COM
munity spirit, a closer fellowship
among all Christians, better
church attendance, better Sun
day schools, better prayer-meet-
ings, in fact, better conditions
in every way.

Freeman of this city. MT. Freeman is republican candidate for the nom- nation. We hope he receives it, as a man more capable, and for that req son more deserving, than any other whose name is likely to be suggested for the honor. If technical skill in legal craftsmanship, wide based knowl- edge of law and politics, thoroughly democratic sympathies, excellence in debate, popularity, conscientiousness and demonstrated integrity in a young man fit him for usefulness in congress Richard P. Freeman is wonderfully we'll equipped to represent this district with prestige equal to its importance in wealth and population.-New Lon don Telegraph
