If we may oe excused tor onerin^ a sug^estlon, we would propose that the town put a chain and dipper at the different wells. Even If new ones should he needed once a month the Investment would be a good one. To have a hog run up to the water bucket and stick his snout three lnoher the water Is not pleasant to contemplate. But If their Is no dipper, we feel half Inclined to excuse the liog. The Bent of Ready Made (' thing. White Brothers offer ready-made clothing in perfection.

' l COUNTY GUDGEONS INVITED TO BUILD UP THE BUSINESS AND TRADE OF THE CITY OF COLUMBIA. The FarmerH nnil Mechanic*' Ranklux. Mercantile and Manufnctnr| Idb Company of Columbia, S. lu Aimw and ObJpcU an Explained by Mr. P. H. Haltlwanger?It will Help the City. ! Columbia Register. An has been previously unnounced in The Rkoister. the books of subscription to the Farmers und Mechanics' Hanklng.Mercantlle and Manufacturing Company, or toiumom have been opened at the more of Mr P. H. Haltlwanger, and a meeting of the stockholders is to be held at the Agricultural Hall on Wednesday, the 15th instant, for the purpose of organization. In an Interview with Mr. Haltlwanger yesterday he stated to a Register reporter that a tnajorlty?of the stock had been already subscribed for,and that the enterprise was bound to succeed. He added that the Idea which seemed to prevail In some quarters that this movement and others of a kindred nature would be an Injurious concentration of the business of the Farmers within a contracted sphere was a false a id misleading one. It would of course unite farming capital, but that had becom? a necessity, as the farmers now saw that they lmd been i-i ?In the nnst bv not UlRklllg n glcoi. luimiinv - ? , employing their surplus capital all the year round. He related Instances going to show where farmers of means could not get necessary accommodations from the banks, because of the lact that all available funds were already loaned out to help mercantile enterprises, and says that the proposed company has tor its primary object the granting of greater facilities to help on the crop production of the country and also to develop manufactures?and especially to that class of manufactures connected with the agricultural Industry: such, for Instance, as canning factories and factories (or the manufacture of agrlcultual Impilments. Speaking of the canning Industry Mr. Haltlwatiger said that there was no estimating the money lost to us by the waste of fruit and vegetables In good fruit and vegetable years, and when tit is waste was stopped It would not only help the farmers, but would help tbe city, and so far from this company In any way retarding Its . *- t* ?M rnannu r\f hnlnln? it I gruwtu n. ttuuiu uc me iiiwuuo v. ?0 _? by the establishment of those industries which would glte full employment to labor and pnt more money In circulation. "This utilization of the Idle capital in the hands ol farmers, which was much more in the aggre gaLe than could be well estimated, would be, Id my estimation." said Mr. Haltiwanger, "a most important tactor in the development o> both city and country." "One hundred dollarsin one farmer's bands ain't much, but if be puts it in with a thousand other farmers who have the same sum lying idle, there is a capital of $100,000 at once. "Our company," said Mr. Haltiwanger, "will do this. We will have money that the farmers can use as they want and in as small sums as they want. The stockholder who wan ts to borrow money can do so on his slock. He need not sell hls cotton when he does not want to. If he needs say $100 to run his crop be will not be obliged to make a note for the whole S100 to run until Pall, aud * ~ * i-*??... "-tii l-'oii Kot ho nnn irp| j urawiuif njkcrrni.uiii.il tun, v?.~v 0 his S100 In small sums just as be wants it, { and in tbls way will save bimself heavy in terest." Mr. Haitiwanger paid that there were times In Columbia as elsewhere when the banks were not able to make loans on cotton, and i tbls sometimes forced the larmers to sell when It was uot to their interest to do so, and and Ibat tbls showed the necessity for the concentration of forming capital, but that apart irom thai, the most Important feature of this movement was the fact that if it proved a success as he felt sure that it would, it would put into circulation and beneficial use, thousands of dollars now lying idle in the hands of farmers. It would develop the saving spirit, but not the saving spirit of the mi ser who bides away his money, and would encourage many unconsidered means of money making witbln the reach of the far.ners, and of which they were strangely oblivious. .Such for instance as the sale ot skins and furs, which was a most profitable one, as the fur ana skius of smaller animals were worth more than the meat. Butter, eggs and poultry, garden products, honey. In fact everything in and about the farm would receive more attention and yield more money when tbe farmers associated themselves together to push their production and sale and then use the money so derived, to deveiope new industries which would add to the gen eral prosperity of the people. "If tt can oe shown me" said Mr. Haitiwanger 1n conclusion "that this contemplated enterprise Is of detriment to the public I will not embark In lt.lor I atn not that kind of a man."
