Mr.. BOYD advocated the passage OF the bill.
He said the petitioners were men OF high respect
ability,7o discerrment, and knew what they were
petitioning for. Every public man at Wentworth
every business man at the county seat was IN
favor of the Bank, and of its location at LAWSON
ville AT Jacksonville, and in its vicinity, direc-
tory, as good as can be had any where else in the
State could be had.
Rockingham had within its bounds, some nine
or ten Tobacco Factories, and the actual wants of
these people demanded bank-there were, on the
memorial, five ex-msmbers of the Legislature, ask

it. Rockingham had become manufacturing
Countryside purchased great deal of tobacco, as
we'll as raised it. After manufacturing, they are
forced to send their tobacco of-emEloy young
men to superntend its sae-they bring back
checks-the bank at Salem refuses to cash their
checks, and the Tobacco seller seeks a market for
his check over in Virginia
Mr.. Boyd continued: give bank-afford us
this accommodation, and Rockingham would in
crease her business-and would give employment
to the poor of the county, and afford employment
for the small negroes, who can do nothing else
He said, the Danvie Bank had agents now in
Rockingham, and adjoining counties, getting up
information, for the express purpose of increasing
the capital of their bank-showing, clearly, that
bank capital is needed in his section of country.
Mr.. Boyd said, if this accommodation is given
to Rockingham, she, Rockingham, would become
an important Gust mer to the G. ntr,d Railroad,
now in course of construction. He hoped the bill
would pass-it could do no injury to any one, but
would aid the people in whose midst it is proposed
to be located.
Mr.. Ellington opposed the passage of the bill
he was opposed to the establishment of so many
new banks.

length-showing the necessity for the bank-the
industry of these people-the prosperity of the
county-the necessity Of dealing with Virginia, in
banking matters-and urging the passage of the |
bill.
