ing one of the finest water powers in
the state. After this splendid property
had been created, certain individuals
got hold Of it by means Of that have
never been made clear and eventually
the proceeds were used to start bank,
and later on to establish and maintain
a newspaper to defend an ownership
that has always been more or less
doubtful. There was some politics in
connection with the matter and also
some financing; but there was good
deal of the "chimericar' leading up to
the present status.
So far as the establishment of a state
central bank is concerned, 1t is not so
much a question of the practicability
of the step as it's desirability. The
practicability of it is beyond question.
1t would have been easy before the
erection Of the regional reserve sys-
tenn; but with that system established.
il is only a question of the desire or
the people. Suppose, for instance, the
state should vote $15,000,000 Of per
cent bonds, with the understanding
that $1,000, 900 are to be used to refund
the bonds now coming due, and the bal
ance to be used as security for 2 per
cent money to be obtained through a
national bank especially chartered for
the purpose, or through some bank al
ready in existence? Surely our con-
temporary will be able to see in this
suggestion the means whereby money
can be loaned on state warehouse GER
tificates at or 5 per cent, and how
these certificates can be used for get
ting additional per cent money. This
is only an outline Of one Of the ways
whereby state central bank could be
established, and if we cared to, it would
not be very much trouble to go further
and show the Record some plausible
conditions under which all or nearly
all Of the banks now in the state would
be glad to have little stock.
After all, it is not the state central
bank that we went. What we would
much rather have would be the state
warehouse system established in all the
cotton states, and laws passed for the
regulation Of the acreage. Give us
these two measures and the money
question will pretty soon solve itself.

WITHIN THE TOWN

ALL the Yorkvile cotton mills rar
full time last week and will do so thi:
week.
- Philanthropic lodge No. 80, A. F
NJ, held it's first communication last
night after a recess Of three months.
Yesterday was salesday for Octo-
Der. Quite a large number of farm
ers were in Yorkville. There were
few horsetraders and some trading
but not a great deal.
In spite of the rain and the muddy
roads, the Yorkville Cotton Oil Co.,
ginned twenty bales Of cotton Satur-
day. Hardly any of it was sold, how
ever.
-Rev. ]. w. Ham preached at the

The state convention Of the Unit
ed Daughters of the Confederacy Will
meet in Yorkville, in December and
members of the local chapter are
busily engaged in preparations for
the conventions reception. Many OF
the chapters in the state have already
selected their delegates and alter
mates.
The buy-a- bale movement appears
to have come to a standstill in York
vile. Several Yorkville business
houses have received instructions
from wholesale dealers in the north
to buy one or more bales of distressed
cotton at ten cents, but very fe local
people are volunteering to buy a bale
at ten cents a pound.

CUTTING EXPENSES.

Because Of slack business and little
promise Of improvement in the imme-
diate future, the management OF the
Southern railway is doing all in its
power to reduce operating expenses
without undue curtailment Of the SER
vice it is giving it's patrons.
Telegraph operators and clerks in the
various offices and departments are be-
ing laid off at all points where their
service can be dispensed with, until a
return of better times.
Quite a number Of passenger trains
have been discontinued and Of course
this is due to lack Of business Among
the passenger trains discontinued are
the following: Second sections of
trains 9 and 10, between Asheville and
Columbia; Nos. and between Spar
tanburg and Columbia; second sections
of Nos 81 and 3S, between Washington
and Atlanta, and trains and 8, be-
tween Charleston and Augusta.
Nos. 81 and 3S are the pride of the
Southern's management. For years
they have been especially popular with
travellers north and south, and passen-
ger traffic on these trains has always
been heavy. A year or more ago, be-
cause Of the heavy trains necessary to
accommodate the travelling public, the
railway put on two additional trains,
one each way running them as second
sections Of Nos 81 and 3S. These trains
carried the mail and express cars, and
occasionally an extra Pullman. But
now these extra trains are taken off,
People are not travelling much now
The traffic of commercial travellers has
been reduced possibly two-thirds from

COMPARISON WITH OTHERS

County Superintendent Of Education
Carroll has secured from the state su-
perintendent of education, an alb
stract of the annual reports of the
superintendent in counties adjoining
York A comparison Of these reports
from Lancaster, Chester and Chero-
kee with York is very interesting, and
shows that York county leads in most
instances.
The average length Of the school
term in Chester county is 157 days,
as against 1877 in York; 11S in Ian
caster and 105 in Cherokee. The ne
gro schools in Chester county average
II days, in York 73, Lancaster 54 and
Cherokee II.
Eight school districts in Chester
county voted special taxes during the
year ending June 80; only one in
Cherokee, % in York and Is in Lam
caster Chester has 80 school dis
tricts, York 81, Cherokee 35 and Lam
caster 81. Of this number 49 carry

Lancaster 55, York 73, and Chester
So. Twenty eight Of York's white
schools employ more than one teacher;
IA Of Chester's, 10 Of Lancasters, and
19 of Cherokees.
Chester county leads in the amount
Of money expended for each white pu-
pil last year, with s1S.52, as against
$16.66 in York, $9.65 in Cherokee and
$9.S7 per pupil in Lancaster. Chero.
kee spent more money per pupil for
the education of negroes than did any
of the other counties in this group
$2.sS, against $1.23 in Chester; the
same amount in York and $1.OS In
Lancaster.
York county erected more school
buildings last year than did any of
the four counties. Nine were erect
ed in York and they are valued at
$2O,1O0. Chester built seven school
houses, valued at $5,125; Lancaster
erected one, valued at $1,O75, and
Cherokee built two, valued at $3.50.
A recapitulation shows that York
leads in most instances.

what 1t Is ordinarily at this season.
The wholesale houses are cutting ex-
penses too, and this accounts for the
few drummers on the road at this time.
The Southern Is running fewer Pull
man cars than formerly and this makes
another saving.
Generally speaking, the freight bus
mess Of the Southern Is holding up re-
markably, consisting mostly Of the or
binary commercial traffic. Very little
cotton Is moving over the system as
yet. A year ago up to September 80,
there had been shipped from Kershaw
1,500 bales. UP to the same date this
year, the cotton shipments had totaled
bare fifty bales. Few, If any Of the
stations show up any better in the cot
ton traffic.
One item Of passenger business that
amounts to considerable in the aggre-
gate, but which Is now almost a negli-
gible quantity, is the hauling Of the
negroes. When times are flush the ne
groes are doing lots Of travelling, even
the flag stations furnishing their quota,
especially on Saturdays and Sundays.
This business, IL is said, has dwindled
to perhaps a fourth Of it's former vol
ume, and so it goes. AS the individual
feels the press Of tight money, so do the
railroads in multiplied form.
