We referred in our last issue TO

considers equal to the good old times
of years ago in Greenville. There IS
this difference, however: then neces-
sity compelled borrowers to beg for
foreign capital, and at highest rates
of interest, whereas, in every instance
last week it was surplus local capital
begging investments, at lowest rates
of interest.
