appear in our next.-We are satisfied that
there is still great deal of ignorance as 10
the true strength of ths Temperance cause
in South Carolina, and that our numbers
have been greatly underrated. Societies
exist which have never been represented
in our Conventions, and from whom no
Statistical information has yet been obtain

send delegates, and those that cannot, will
send a correct statement Of their numbers,

The collection of all debts contracted since
the beginning Of The year. For this pur-
pose we nave opened new set of books.
with The view Of closiug every accoun, in
the old SET, either by profit and loss or by
actual payment in an amicable or legal
manner. We earnestly call on all those
indebted to us 10 come forward and settle ;
they will but perform an act of justice to
us, while they will also infinitely obligc us.
BY performing such an act of simple JUS
lice, they will enable US to free ourselves
from all embarrassmenls, and above all,
remove from our mind thoughts and per.
pIexities which deprive Us Of the faculty of
concentrating our mental exertions 10 the
editorial department Of the paper. To
approximate our rules as much as we think
proper at,lhis time TO the cash system, we
have established those thar follow, which
will be rigidly enforced hereafter.

taken up for investigation aud discussion.
All the attention and talents That both edi-
tors may possess, will he devoted 10 the
examination Of the great topics which will

volve on the present editor and Robert NJ.
