THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS C1TY.-As
we have before stated, Columbia is now
IN the line of decided improvement.
Badly used by Gen. Sherman and his
army, tho ty-Phtenix-like-is rising
"E'en in her ashes live her wontcd fires. I"
Now, "to make haste slowly" is gene
rally good motto; but we wish to sec
this city ''make haste" fast and sure.
Now let us ask what does the city of Co.
lumbia need for it's rapid development.
We need industry, energy and enterprise
among our people. 1t is true, that num-
bers from abroad of good. substantial,
intelligent men are needed, and we invite
them hither. Tt is true. that capital from
abroad is needed here, and we ask it to
come and get good investment. But
moro important than this foreign aid, it
is essential that we make the most of our
local resources. Those who help them
selves, the gods will help, and we cannot
more effectually bring capital and num-
bers to Columbia, than by showing to
tho world that we ourselves are laying
our shoulders to the wheel, and that we
ourselves, by our works, are showing our
faith in the enterprises to which we in
vite others. "Who would be free, them
selves must strike the blow" Who would
develop Columbia, themselves must 90
to work, and then we may expect rein
forcements to pour in. A victorious army
is the one that gets help and allies. A
city prospering by virtue of the labors
and enterprise of its own citizens, that is
the city that will get accessions from
abroad. This is human nature. This is
national progress. If we have labor here,
let our own capital employit. If we have
capital here, let our own labor receive it's
benefits. The circle, then, of our acti-
witty, beginning at home and among our
selves, will gradually grow wider and
wider, until it embraces the whole of
growing community. In the second place,
as to the kind of development that we
need, we think that the conclusion is OBJ
vious. OF educational facilities we per-
hnps have enough; of merchants and
clerks we have enough; of merchandise
from the North we have enough. But
we need an ampler, far ampler, deve-
lopment in the direction of tho mechani-
cal and manufacturing interests The
agricultural implements that we need
ought all to be made at home; the car
riage, wagon and buggy materials that
we require ought to be provided at home;
the buckets, the pals and the tubs that
we use ought to be made in South Caro-
lima, and SO with many articles too nu-
merons to mention. Now, we aro not
ignorant of the rule, that just so long rs
the above articles can be made better and
cheaper elsewhere, they will be bought
