CITIZENS SAVINGS BANK.

We direct attention to the card
of the Attorncysan Solicitors OF
this institution giving notice that
under their advice the bank has
gone into voluntary bankruptcy,
and that with proper management
of the assets, the intcreste or de-
positors and creditors will be fully
protected. The bank will soon
make a statement of its affairs, and
submit proposition to guard It's
crditors from loss. In the mean
time they are earnestly advised not
to dispose of their claims, but tc
cooperate with<the officers CT the
Bank in relieving it from embar
rassment. This is the part of true
wisdom, and we feel assured will
be adopted by all the creditors o.
the bank. We have seen a private
letter from Columbia addressed tc
Capt. Z. L. Parker. the Cashier, II
which satisfactory reasons are Civ
Ell for this action, and a hopefu
view taken of the situation.

Too MUcH CoTroN.-The. Farm
ers and Patrons of Husbandry il,
session at Atlanta have resolved tc
plant only one-third of the next
years crop in cotton. If this could
only be acted upon throughout the
entire South it would bring about
great results. Even with one-hali
or two-thirds of the present crop,
and an increase in The provision
crop, we would have a correspond
ing increase of income, and de-
crease of Indebtedness. But
whilst all admit the justice of the
policy, we are apprehensive, to use
the language of the Chronicle and
Sentinel, that while Joues "'may re-
duce his cotton acreage and raise
his own hog and homiay, Smith
will go the whole hog in cotton, be-
cause he thinks there will be a
short crop, and in that event will
yield him twenty-five cents per
pound, while he can buy Western
corn at 81 bushel and bacon at 7
cents a pound.

THE CITIZENS SAVINGS
BANK OF SOUTH CAROLINA
has to-day gone into voluntary bank
ruptcy; under our advice. This ad-
vice has been given as tho most et.
fcctual means of protecting the inter
csts of its dcpositors and other credit
ors who can thus, and thus only,
have the management and control OF
it's asscts-instead of their being
placed in the hands of receiver, in
whose selection they have no choice
The Officers of the Bank will, at an
early day, publish statement, giving
full information Of its affairs.
We would warn depositors and
creditors not to iarter their claims to
spectators and other interested par
ties, as we arc informed there exists
a most dangerous combination, whose
object it to obtainsa controlling in
terest, to the destruction Of the
Bank, and the detriment Of deposit
ors.
we would further ADVISE the dcpOS-
itors and creditors to retain their
claims until the publication above re-
ferred to has been made, which in our
opinion, will justify the wisdom and
policy Of the course adopted in their
interest, and will suggest plan,
which, if heartily co:operated in by
depositors and creditors will save
them from loss.

THE CIRCUS AT HODGES. - TO

THE CIRCUS AT HODGES. - 1o-
gcther with a large party from Alb
bcville, we aided in swelling one OF
the biggest crowds which we have
ever seen assembled, at the circus
exhibition at Hodges on Wednes-
day.last. The crowd we have heard
variously estimated at from three
to five thousand persons, and they
packed every available seat in the
large double tents. They came
from remote sections of the Coun-
ty, and even from beyond the Salu-
da in Laurens. For some reason
the performances seemed to lack
their usual variety and interest," and
the crowd was disappointed. The
animal show perhaps came up to
expectation, but the other perform
ances lacked spirit and variety.
There was some good riding, good
tumbling and good music, but they
all fell short of public expectation,
