PLANTERS BANK OF FAIRFIELD:-The notice
of the Commissioners appointed to take Stock
in this institution, which appears in another col
umn informs rs that the Capital Stock of this
Bank not having been taken, the books will be
re-opened on the first Monday in May next, In
the town of Winnsboro, ana will remain open
until the first Monday in August next, unless the
entire CAPITAL shall be subscribed before that
time. st'f-
= 1t is evident that an opportunity of this kind
isgenerally seized upon by capitalists for safe
and profitable investments, and we can only ac-
count for the indisposition manifested on this
occasion to take stock, to the fact, which has
come to our knowledge, that few prominent
men, some either through malice IA deep seated
hatred to the people of Fairfeld,) disappcint-
ment at not having been prime actors in this
important undertaking or desire to compel
those persons residing in this District, (who some
times find it necessary to apply at other coun-
ters for accommodation,) to pay tribute to exist
ing institutions.
Slanderous, and very ungenerous reports were
propagated by certain men, in other Districts,
against the people of Fairfield, with the design
of defeating the provisions of the Bank Bill
However, when the Capitalists Of Charleston
and the other Districts where these reports were
industriously circulated, are put in possession of
the facts connected with this dsgraceful transac-
ton, we apprehend that these plotters and sche-
mers will find themselves defeated and finally
caught in their own meshes.
The people of Fairfield need Bank. and we
trust there are to be found sufficient number of
Capitalists in the State to assist in its establish
ment notwithstanding the strong efforts which
have been made successfully with some we re-
gret to learn) to use them in order to accomplish
selfish schemes WinnSdoro Register.
