carried before the efore- mentioned Trial
Justice. who fined him Ave dollars, but.
the costs of the court were nine dollars
more-uaking fourteen dollars in all.
The charge was that the boy had been
knocked down. Mr.. Dursnd, the agent,
was desirous Of bringing in witnesses to
prove that the boy was not touched, but
his request was not complied. with.
This may be justice. but he cannot see
it in that light.
THE COLUMBIA BANKS. The financial
panic has affected the Colunbia banks
but little; there having been no actual
run. The Central, for instance, yester.
day paid out only $500 more than their
deposits for that day; the Carolina
makes about the same report. At this
rate, it would take something like ten
years for them TO "play OUT" President
Solomon, of the South Carolina Bank
and Trust Company. paid checks zand
received deposits as usual, and declares
his ability to meet all demands. 'Messrs.
Edwin J. Scott & Son ''pprsued the
even tenor Of their way" All the off;
cials of these institutions declare that it
w9s one of the most quiet days OF the
season. at a meeting of the Presidents
of the National Banks. held yesterday, .
it was decided to follow the course
adopted by banks in some of the larger
cities-to pay checks Of 500 and less in
currency; for larger amounts, certified
checks, receivable in exchange between
themselves. This course is commended
by tue business portion OF the commu-
nifty. -
