The Dispatch is glad to- learn that
the boat line between Columbia and
Georgetown is to be continued. We
have always had confidence in the
business men of Columbia, who are
!, ever ready to lend assistance to any
enterprise that will advance the pro-
gress of their city. But, unfortunate
II, Columbia, like other cities, has
many drones, and they will not give
proper support to an undertaking un-
less they can see where they are to be
doubly benefited. But these men,
we are glad to say, are greatly in the
minority and cannot hold back the
leaders-the men who take a pride
and interest in everything that will
advance Columbia and the whole of
Sonth Carolina.

Pie is the pabulum OF the Puri-

The march OF time, the changing
