Despite the fact that Columbia is now passing through a crisis the likej of which it has never witnessed before, new enter prises are springing up here and there and our peopte are gradu ally taking toj them. The Victory Savings Bank and The Industrial Building and Loan Association are enjoying a season of prosperity. And they are filling a dijre need among our people. The thirdj cf importance is another insurance company now in process of brganizution which it is hoped will spread through out the entire! state. The promoters of this are Mr. I. J. Joseph, Lawyer N. J.jFrederiek, Mr. G. L. Floyd, Mr. G. Lee Ratliff, and others. We are looking forward for as great success in this organization in the two proceeding it. Our people need more employment ajnd they can only get it through our own enter prises. Lets jpull and stop knocking. NEGROES, THE OBJECT OF PREY. From thej earliest days of slavery to the present the Negro race has beenjthe object of prey for other people,-the root doc tor, fortune taller and all other class of beats on the face of the And even at tjhis late day a supposed medicine concern in Atlanta advertises forj agents to sell medicine to "colored people". It re quires no experience." The following want ad. appeared in last Sunday's Statje: "Agents-j-Sell medicine to colored people. It requires no experience. ?Vrite to day for full particulars. Four Seasons Medicine Company, Atlanta, Ga." The Indicator would admonish its readers to stop buying this "cure all kindj of diseases medicine." We understand that there are certain doctors ( ?) in Columbia right now representing an Atlanta firm jselling medicine that cures every mentionable ail ment. Theyj are here making a house to house canvass selling seen these doctors ( ?) but we have heard much of their house to house canvass and carrying big rolls of greenback collected J through this jscheme. We are at a loss to understand how it is that regular practicing physicians can afford to suspend the prac tice of medicine to sell a patent medicine.. They go through a form of examination with those of varied ailments and sell the self same patent meicine for the thousand and one diseases. Some how, vire are not so wise as to believe in these transient physicians ( ?) and would advise our people to go slow in buying their medicine-the , self-same medicine that they sell every patient. Th?se might be representatives of the Atlanta firm which carried the above ad in The State last Sunday. We would advise our readers to use our own physicians-Co lumbia has tjhem and to spare. Now is ?the time for us to show to these spontaneous Medi cine companies and their representatives that it takes more than experience lio sell us medicine or a general mixture of the most common ingredients that cure nothing. Let a ?regular practicing physician prescribe for your ails and close ycjur door in the faces of those who "need no experience to sell you"!. LET THE CARS RUST OUT. j ____________ Thanks tb something or son body for tihe complete stam still of street cars and the pr vailing hopeless conditions thi now enshroud their early mov The Indicator is praying f< no injury to anyone or eorpor; tion but earnestly prays for a agreement- to be reached thi will take the under-foiks ini consideration as weil as tl higher-up$. According to printed repor of the Street Car Company ti cars havellong since been oper, ted at anj expense to the Con pany. T|iat being true, the now is a| most opportune tin for the jCompany to sell O? whole "lock stock and barrel to a con?ern or concerns th; can oper?te the cars for the co] venience! of the public for little les? fare.

' i Every conductor that worked this line declared that it was the best paying line of the system, and yet, without any considera tion because the patrons were Negroes, the tracts were moved. Naturally they expected the j Negroes to walk three more j blocks to catch the same car I without a break or complaint j but it is a fact that the majority oi these people walked the re mainder of the blocks while oft time? the empty "cars would pass them by. Now that the; I cars are at a complete stand still, these people are rejoicing; and hoping that unless better consideration be given themi that they will rust out rather than wear out. She Finished Her Course. The passing away of the editor's wife Thursday night, February 23rd, has made mor? evident than ever before thb fact that a truer woman nevejr lived, and that a better woman must yet be born. As her husband, the thirteen years of our happy union, we knew her greatness. But so unassuming was she and so little ambition did she possess to forge her way to the front ranks for popularity / in high positions and the social world, that we did not once think that, that host of friends who so willing ly and anxiously attended bei during 1er illness and thronged the Ichirch beyond seating ca pacity to pay her their lasl tribute of respect, bringing a veritable mound of the mosi beautiful , lovely and costly floral tributes, saw in her as we did, such beautiful traits and noble character. She simply lived the Ufe and went about doing good. And in this way sh 3 touched the lives of hundreds and unconsciously impressed them as she did us of her greatness and worth. Those j who knew her loved her,-tiley ' couldn't do other wise. Those who did not love her die n't know the charac ter-thats all. White we feel that our loss is ineparable, we still have an un faltering trust in Him who came t> heal the broken heart ed and to .proclaim liberty to the weary captives. Her pass ings away was not by mistake; for Go i is too wise to make mistakes. She had simply finished her course; for thf, way st e went about her affairs in her last days now come to us as an evidence that she was finishing up her work before He took unto Himself one of His most precious jewels.
