We refer to this subjec, agaiu, be.
cause we think that no,o is the impor.
tant time to agitate this question in the
public mind, as we'll rs to place our.
selves right with our friend of the
Journal. We do not wish bank at
the erpense Of Camden, and if any such
Inference is dcducable from our hasty
article upon this subject, week or two
ago, we would disclaim any such in.
tention. But we have hoard it s,id
that the Branch Bank must be and will
be removed mos0 from Camden, where
it has been kept up for some years

and deserving President, and not Mt the
best advantage to- the State. Under
these circumstances we would present
(as we think) the strong cluims of Sum.
tcrvillc to it's location in this place
lie 10 tv be irs..u,eu We want it to be
removed here. And in support of cur
claims we would repeat that there are
&c ba:k:cg facilities l.: Sumter, Oar.
lington, Marion or williamsburg,
while ut the same time Sumterville
presents free and easy access TO all
ofthese Districts. We think too hat
one bank will now be enough for the
business Of Camden surrounded rs she
is by other banks and that she should
DC satisfied with onc-especially since
she has been SO long favored with two.
We would have our friend Of the Jour.
nal recollect that the good OLD rule {" to
do to others as we would that they
should d" to US" works both ways in
this instance. The Branch Bank is
public property and belongs as much
to any other District ms to Kershaw.
AMI as ker>haw has been enjoying it's
facilities for now these many years it
is but right and fair that some of the
other own rs Of the property should
now have their turn. The journal
asks = which is best to remove the
Bank to Sumtcrville, out of the way
OF Lancaster and Fairfield and Ker.
shaw too, or let it remain where it is
to the further accommodation of Ian
caster, Fairfield and kershaw 2" We
answer that Fairfield has n Bank Of its
own and i'll future may need but little
aid from either of the Banks at Cam
den, and now has direct communion.
ton with the Banks ut Columbia-that
kcrshaw, if the Branch Bank is rcmoy-
cd will still have Bank remaining and
Mt the same time have an immediate
and direct communication with the
Branch Bank if established in this
place and also with those in Columbia.
and that Lancaster will still have one
Bank at Camden to apply to and may
very easily reach the one at Fairfield.
Now when You place in the opposite
scale the fact which We have already
repeated, viz: that there is no Bank in
either Sumter, Darlington, Marion or
Williamsburg, we ask if there can be
doubt as to what is bcst-what is
)aircst and what will be most aduanta.
