Mr.. EDITORIALS our invitation fail /
toset in motion the object we had in
view by tho srticle in the HERALD of the
1C.h e. e. ] d ssTo all whom It NAV Con-
Germ, , we b g little indulgence. that we
may trcsspa on both you and your
readers again. Being persuaded that tie
thing needed is tn ,ully arocse those
competent to do the subj oct justice, to &C
ton, that the people may learn their in
telest, justifics Us, lin our opinion, at
least) in making a further attempt.
How many citizens may we ask that
were not she ok d with modification of
their pride whom they learned from the
cersus taker few weeks since, the num-
Der of inhabitants in the City of Colums
bia? They will excuse Us for not repeat:
ing here the exact number, rs we TOO,
have pride which we regard as some
thing worth preserving. Let us repeat,
that we have all the necessary elements
around MS which, If made proper use OF,
will to those of us who may i've to see
the next regular census taken in 1859,
feel inclined to believe that dignitary,
(the census taker.) We, like our neigh
bors, are disposed to bolster up our pride
by CRYING aloud, "Oh, that Is q mistake,
it wasn't taken i.ght!' We hope not.
It{seems our p lple are alive to one en-.
/ srprise at least, and that is good sign;
that enterprise is on the subject of Banks.
It would seem, II we undel stand the
matter core ctly, that some of the best
effort to persuade others rom organizing
the 8. cOnd Bank, believing that it we3
best to have but one in little city like
orIs, but others didn't see IL. We are
sure when you make plain showing of
10, Is, or COZ 81 cent, per annum to such
of our cit ems as we are acquainted with,
that there is no use tiy. ing o keep them
out of Banks, Manufactures, or any
otherhon- businc :. They have b an
made to see he profit in Banks, and
thrs their action. Now we feel sure that
whenever they will begin to ref, ct and
and learn by obse. walton,
as they are hound > do, that there is
10, Is yes 20 per cent. in this or that en-
1 tell you they will go in. And
by way ofi'lrstration we will mention
the report Of one Of the Augusta (Ga.)
Cotton Fact lries, which ": organized in
1850, with capital of g. &c 0. In 1868
they had a capital of $6CO, C 20, ms lie ION
their 60: nins, T. 1869 they declar !
four qus er Y dividends of 3 rer cent.
each. making 70 per cent, b Ide, lay
ing aside per cent. into striking ind.
VIZ can't we do just rs we'll? 1ney
WORK white lab " }, and we have plen- |
ty of it all around Ia; the % to who are
worthv and ready TO work, if we, who |
are abe will only give them something |
TO do. Is it not our duty } do it? Ant
Just here MIR. EDITOR, may We not :ik,
would it not be 70 the inter t of both of |
our Banl,s, for Columbia to b ,me a |
town, and if answer in
the aaiI native, and it is not inconsistent |
with their Charter, it would rebound
TO their honor and or, lit ID be the pic :. |
neei /; in some enterprise of the kind. |
For fear of becoming a bore, and to be |
sure of leav ng the subject unex hausted
or those who may " :sh to do the mat
Ter justice. -pecia',ya that is my aim |
10 get oilers 10 move 1 this impo. tant !
