AFFAIRS IN CHARLESTON.
We take the following from the Charleston pa
pers of Thursday and Friday:
THE STATE BONDS
Elsewhere will be found an advertisement of the
Bank of the State of South Carolina, for a loan
amounting to S675 900, bearing an interest of
per cent. per annum. The bonds will be issued in
sums OF $50, 500 and $500, and arrangements have
been made with the Clerks Of Courts in the several
Districts that citizens in all parts of the State NAV
participate in its benefits.
To those who desire to invest small sums at a
ar and uniform rate of interest, and with the best
possible seCurity-that of the State itseif-this is
an excellent opportunity. Apart however, from
the peculiar advantages of such an Investment, the
desire to assist our beloved State in this her time
OF trial, should, and We know will, prompt our
citizens to come up and make liberal purchases of
the stock.-NercaIy.
