C., has been designated as a business- zone except the blocks near and on the side of the Columbia hospital. The time is not long, as we see things, before the blocks on Harden street from . Richland to Five Points, except those, aforesaid, will be crowded with grocery stores, drug stores, liquor stores, dry goods and haberdashers,. Tiot dog stands, moving picture houses, and grills. It's coming to that. White people of business fore sight and a little capital are beginning to develop this new business section oT Columbia. NegriFpeople are not concerned. No effort is being made to own more business houses on this newly created business zone in the shadow of Allen university and Benedict college with a stable population in the Allen-Benedict Terrace as ready buyers of shoes, clothing, green groceries, staple goods, etc. .. 'Mi street has been developed by the white man's brain and capital "race-loving" Negroes will be preaching 'hatred against a race who had business sense; and foresight to seize opportunities to develop business at the proper time.
