BANK OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
The dispatches received in our city announcing The
suspension Of this institution have been confirmed.
In the whole array Of banks none were supposed to
be upon a frmer footing than the 'Bank Of the
State If South Carolina" Il is State institution,
and we understand that the State is liable for its
issues Ifso, the only real loss will result from the
temporary depreciation Of It's paper, as At must
eventually pay out.
The Bank Of South Carolina has been considered
one of the souudest and safest institutions in the
country, having passed successfully through the
troubles of 1897. A large party, however, have
long commended that it should be wound up. II is
likely that they will now get their wishes
"The Bank o. the State Of South Carolina" the
State institution which has suspended, Must not be
COMPOUNDED with &c The State Bank Of South Carroll
ma" private corporation, which, as fer as we
know, is still going ahead.

The Chinese Sugar Cane.

We are pleased to observe that this plant
has attracted the attention OF some OF our
best farmers, in the Northern us well as South.
ern States, and that the results Of their ex-
perimenis have in almost every instance,
been of the most satisfactory character In
our own state, our valued correspondent, |. b.
CARRIER, Of Columbia, has grown it very sue
cessluly lie says of it:
apparently it is Of the same family Of
plants as the Dhouri corn, chocolate corn and
the broom corn. 1t will grow on any soil /;
and in any climate where the broom natures.
This will come to full perfection, is us easily
cultivated as other corn, and 1t is believed by
those in the South who have given attention
to the plant, that it will in time supercede
the cane, even in louisiana 1t will be laI ge-
ly planted in the South next season.
The only impedment in the way OF every
farmer making his own sweetening, is. Difficult
" Of crushing or grinding the stalks, for
wlrh purpose heavy iron rollers, or some
powerful yet compact machinery will be re-
quisle to opropery.mascerate the canes so as
to press out the juice. After the juice is eI-
tracted from the canes, it will not require AS
much time in boiling down to proper con-
sistence for syrup or moasses, as it does TO
boil applebutter The syrup is superior TO
the best molasses as you can Judge by the
sample left with you though this was first
experiment, and as practice makes perfect

purposes where pure sacharine is needed

eau be effected by continuation of the evap-
Grating process, ana by using usual reagents
to Dreripitate aud granuate the syrup.
As forage plant it will, believe, become
of great value 10y sowing the seed broad cast,
cutting and drying the fodder. &c. owing to
the large quantity Of sacharine matter con-
tanned in the stems, stock Of all kinds will
thrive and iatten on il TO greater advantage
than on any other food.
The Western Farm Journal states that
the Chinese sugar cane has been used this
season for fattenng cattle in Warren County,
Ohio. The cattle appeared 10 be very fond
of il, and are said to have gained well, though
il may be mentioned that they were fed with
peck OF meal each, per day in addition TO
the sugar mllet."
The same paper states that Gov. Hammond
of South Carolina, in letter to Mr.. Bachan-

ADVERTISING ONES BUSINESS We have
just laid down copy OF the London Times
with the feeling which that journal always
awakens in us-astonishment at, and admira-
ton OF, the prodgious extent to which Eng
lishmen, in the pursuit Of wealth, advertise
their business. The Wanted editorial ability
OF the Times is, in our opinion, more than
matched, upon more than one American news
paper. But its advertising supplement- and
It's own solid columns OF infinitely varied an
nouncements, are wonder as unequalled in
cue Journalism. as it is characteristic Of the
most systematic and successful property ac-
qnires on the face Of the earth. Whatever
the English have got TO sell they advertise
The solid columns of the London Times are a
reher'ion of the industry Of a large part Of
the British people.

This is matter in which we do not pro-

cannot conceive of any harm which the dis
Greet administration of belladonna, under
