At t'.ie luncheon ycaterday. Mr. A. Vt^Snell, the president of the Recro arles association, urged the people if south Carolina to stand by Colunv da In the effort of the Capital City 0 Bocure a federal regional hank for hut city. We differ from Mr. Sncll n this. If Columbia has made a definite ap ical to this section of the State, we -.nve failed to see it. lr Columbia 1 lanes to get the sympathy of the late, her Chamber, of bommeree sec otary might have attended a meet* ng of State-wide Importance which as held in Anderson yesterday. And ( Columbia had made nn appeal for issl?t?n?e In tbli matter, would it have, been In good fatth,' or .'or the >urpose cf advertising? We believe that the bankers of Co umb'la themselves will admit that hoir opportunity 1? slight Indeed, ' 'hen why waste oa sympathy offofjts Mat might avail something else .hero? We would Indeed be proud if olumbia or Cl-.arb ston, -could get one if these places, but the fact o<" tho natter is that South Carolina just . i this time Is not In a position to . ommand it. Then why should we not direct our Mention to helping those who have itelpod us in the past? Richmond as been a great friend to the PieS ujont fection of Sonth Carolina and vo would bo ungrateful Indeed If we Md not take her part against Atlanta iVhlch has never done anything ex tent absorb the rest of the State of Georgia, without giving muri, aid or Miconragement to industrial or com uercla! enterprise' In other sections.

This means the active co- j operation of more than two score of mission boards, representing more than communions, in the interest of < the entire missionary work of the churches. The proportions and spirit of tliis campaign have never before ecu witnessed on this continent. The Laymen's m'islonary movement lies been asked to organize and direct the field work of the campaign. It is proposed to hold two-day confer ences in as many towns and cities of 5,000 and more people as possible. These conferences arc tq be conducted by teams of specialists, thus assuring to each conference center as strong a message and as helpful suggestions as possible. Each team will consist of from four to six mon, und will be assigned to a definite territory, with the exception fs3 VjfflfL.ort the expectation that the conference work win h<? accomplished between September In of this year and Febru ary 15, 1914.
