AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.


The great question o; the da! is, how to re-
store the material and Industrial resources of
the South Paramount even to the question
Of labor, is that Of money to employ and pay
for labor. The people of the South have but
little leftbut their real estate. Their great
want Is for money to make that real estate
productive. The entire amount Of c~ircula-
ton to be issued under the National Curren-
cy Act has been absorbed at the North and
Northwest. Even when Congress does tardi-
ly make provision for the establishment OF
more National Banks in the South, they can
afford very partial if any %reliefto the plant
ting and land owning interest. They will not
loan on real estate security at all, aud that
interest has no other security to offer. They
can only lend for short time, so, 60 or 80 days
at farthest, and such loans are unavailable to
planters and farmers, whose returns come in
more slowly from year to year. Planters and
land owners cannot raise money, either Mt
home or at the North, to cultivate their lands,
or 90 into any new business, without submit
ing to most u~surious and ~ruinous conditions,
or selling out at an immense sacrifice.
To obviate these financial difficulties Of
their " situation, " the Legislature Of Ten
nessee in February last, chartered an Indus
trial Agency, with very valuable franchises,
which under proper administration, cannot
but prove very profitable to the stockholders,
and very efficient in restoring the prosperity
and promoting the development of the i'm
mense resources Of the South.
The company has been organized in New
York City, and is now taking measures to ss-
tablish branches and agencies at all impor-
tant points in the Southern States.
The main feature of their organization is to
associate, on terms mutually beneficial, Eu-
ropean and Northern cash capitalists with
Southern planters and landowners, who are
invited TO take stock, and participate in the
control and profits of the company.
The company propose to permit Southern
land owners to take stock in the branches, to
be established in their respective neighbor-
hoods, and elect their own officers agents, and
subject to the control Of a Board consistingo
one member from each State, to be elected by
a majority Of stockholders in such State.
The land owners subscription may be paidi
in bonds, ofWbich 2 liz per cent. Of the prin-
eipal shall be payable semi-annually, with
eper cent. interest per annum, secured by
deed Of trust on real estate. In making loans
and advances, preference will be always Civ
en- share boldsrSi'On pledge Of their share and
growing crops. Share Aoiisr' are Enabled 10
borroE, in easA, on long time, at tx per cent per
annun, one AaJ he amount Of their Iu5seribsd
srocE. The company have also life and pro-
perry insurance powers and other valuable
privileges and franchises.
