BRITISH PosToFFIcE SAVINGS.

~ NE OF the features OF the operation OF postal
[ savings banks in Great Britain brought out by
~ the discussion OF the subject due to the recent
laying OF the foundatonstone OF the great edfce IN
West Kensignton is the effect which the opportunity
for saving has in promoting thrift among all classes OF
people That has BEEN in fact the most notable result
OF such banks in the United Kingdom, and the evil
dence of it is striking.
According to the statements given by the Post
master General the Duke OF Norfolk in his address
the ceremony the growth OF the institution has been
remarkable. At the end OF the first ten years there
were L 500 600 depositors with balance OF fIoooo,
600 to their credit At the end of twenty years the
figures had doubled and now, after thiryseven years.
there were nearly 100000 depositors with balance
OF tI23 100000. The number of offices at which de-
posts could be made withdrawn upward OF
I2ooo AS an illustration of the strong hold which
the institution had gained upon the population the
Duke said, one out of every five persons in the
United Kingdom is depostor 1t had been cal
cuated that about four-fifths OF the depostorS be-
longed to the working classes.
Such a tremendous increase of business done by the
postal bank would seem to imply loss Of business
TO private bankers, TO trustee savings banks
There has, however, been little such loss. The
London Mail, in commenting the subject, says:
This increase of postoce business appears to repre-
sent in large measure at least real development OF
h1bits OF thrift among the people, and not
transfer of accounts from agency of deposit to
another. Some of the older trustee savings banks
have been closed, it true, but those which survive
are sounder than they ever were, and the total
deposited in trustee banks exceeds by several millions
the amount which they held when the postofice sys-
TEN was established in 1851
A further evidence that the postal banks do not
seriously cripple interfere with private banks is
found in the fact that in Scotland where there are
large facilities given for popular thrift there is but
depositor in the postal bank out OF every four
teen persons in the population while in England and
Wales where the facilities for saving through pri
vate banks less than in Scotland there is one de-
positor for every FIVE inhabitants
Considered from every point Of view the postal
savings banks appear to fill an actual need of peo-
pie Where there IS opportunity to save habits Of
thrift will grow: but where no such opportunities
are provided there will always be waste and wanr
A long fight will be required to bring about the es-
tabishment OF such banks here and yet in no coun-
try on the globe they more needed We have
wide areas OF territory where there are no savings
banks at all and where likely to be founded
by private parties In such districts the temptations
30 the wage-earner to spend his wages many but
the opportunities for saving few. The admins
tration which establishes postal banks will confer all
immense benefit upon millions OF people

to Robbins has beon accepted and will be
ready for passenger service in November.
Freight trains arc being regularly run
over tho Southorn's new extension to
Sumtor. Passenger schedules have been

The controlling interest in tho Carolina
and Northwestern Railway Company has
passed into tho hands of Northern syn
dictate, and tho announcement is made
that the road is to be extended.
Tho grading on the Savannah extern
sion of the Carolina Midland extension
of tho Southern has been completed, with
the exception of ono stretch through q

Tho Seabord Air Limo is doing aotivo

line into this State.
The surveys of tho Seabord Air Limo
from Columbia to Augusta and from Au-
gusta to Charleston have boon completed,
and the contracts for the lines are, it is
said, to be awarded this year.
These statements givo a succinct sum-
mary of what is gonr on just now in tho
railroad development of the State. It
does not involve any of the very many
rumors that are going tho rounds about
consultations or leases and tho like, but
summarizes the wonderful development
of the last fow months in railroad build
ing in this State.
Millions of dollars worth of property
will be permanently invested in the State,
new territory is being opened and South
Carolina is most likely at tho head of the
column in railroad development.
Ono cause of this development is that
thoro has not recently been any hostile
railroad legislation, and it would be d
splendid idea not to scare away the rail-
roads, which pay such largo proportion
Of taxes, and lend SO much to public con-
vicnco.

A Great Change.

During the fiscal year ending June
30, 1890, the United States imported
manufactures to the value of $780,
651,94O and exported manufactures
to the amount of $151, ,102,376.
During the fiscal year ending June
30, 1899, our imports of manufac-
lures were valued at 1850, 9,57O,293
and our exports of manufactures at
S338,G67,794.
Ten years ago VIC imported more
than twice as much manufac-
turcd goods as we exported, the bal
ance against us being $2O5,5o4,564.
The balance in our favor for the last
fiscal year was $79,097, sol, a change
in our favor in ten years of over
$284, 100000.
Such showing was never made
before by any other nation. In ten
years we have reduced our imports
of manufactures more than $97, ,O0O,-
600, while we have increased onr
exports of manufactures more than
1887, 100000.
We are now producing far more
manufactured goods than the 49,

and are competing successfully with

to an increasing extent.
