What Orargeburg Needs.

Orangeburg has an ambition to
become a great trade center and grow
and expand into city of no mean
proportions, but she has no special
/ advantages to accomplish except be-
/ ing surrounded by thousands of good
ami prosperous farmers. Under such
| conditions what is most needed is
the Inauguration of some enterprises
on the part of our local capitalists
besides banks. They should capi-
talize some small cotton factories
and see that they are successfully
managed. If one or two such fac
tories were inaugurated, and we
could prove to the world that they
are successful, then outside enter
prises would be sure to come and
enjoy our prosperity along with
ourselves.
Just like fellow who finds a
favorite fishing hole and catches
fish, and all the other fishermen
who see that he is catching will
drop their hooks right by the side
Of the lucky fisherman. The bust
ness men of Orangeburg should stop
talking and hoping for others to do
something for the town. They should
get together themselves and prove
to the world that they have money
making town. No outsider will
want to fish in our swimming hole
until we prove that they can catch
nsh.
What Orangeburg needs is one or
two more cotton factories. IN order
for our little city to grow We must
have more factories, SO as to induce
more peopla to make their home
here. People will so where they can
find work. The question Of secur-
ing factories and other sources Of
employment must be agitated and in
ducements held out to either the
citizens or outsiders to invest, or at
least investigate the possibilities
of successfully operating plants here.
The movement now being agitated
to build another cotton factory here
should be successfully carried out.
An aggressive business policy on
the part Of our business men. reach
ing out for everything within reach,
encouraging all would-be corners,
expending money when a two-fold
return is reasonably certain, it would
seem is one of the ways to best
build up our little city. A town
is what its people make it. 1t may
slowly grow by the little accretions
that accidentally fall within it's in
fluence, or it can be pushed into Wig
orous and rapid growth by the ag-
gressive activity of its business ele-
ment. The destiny Of Orangeburg
is in the hands of her business men.
Shall she grow, or shall she lay be-
hind? Let them answer.

If I ONLY Had Capital.

FIVE little girls and eight boys, all

The school is a stones throw from

last week among the children in lower
Jersey City schools that threats had
been made TO blow up the schools with
dynamite. The children OF St An

nervous about it, and when the bombs
went OFF suddenly they ran shrieking
from their recitation rooms into the
halls and down the stairways. There
are two street doorways. but one Of
them was closed At the closed en-
