Charleston Sun. The present call of the com ptro^^v of I he currency for a statement from thv-uatlonal banks, revives the question often mooted, but never settled, the State's supervision ol her own banks. The national bank system is safe lor depositors and stockholders, the suite system Is sate Just so long: as the management of the hank is good, but the opportunity for covertni: defects In the management orz? Inn mnnv unit too pnod not to bu some times taken advantage of to tide over a tight place. For Instance, a State bank may carry perfectly worthless paper from year to year, [ showing up In its assets and proving the bank statement of healthy condition, while as a matter of lact it Is not so, amt there Is no way to contradict It unless the d>ectors make a personal and careful investigation, nnd they are not the ones to declare their own bank In unsafe condition, while the national bank is i subject at all times without notice to inspetv I Hon hy the agents of the government. The State for the protection of Us credit and the safely of its people should have, and should have had for years, a system of bank examistation similar to that of national banks. ???? ? AilvcrliKinx and Money. A trade Journal published at. New York has : nnrlfrtflUfn to discover the effect- of theflnan clal troubles upou advertising. NlneadverUsers whose names are known from one end ;of the country to the other were Interviewed, and of the number only one has decreased his space. Flve of them have gone on expending kite usual amount, while three of the largest j firms are making contracts for greater outlays than ever before. To the small advertiser, ! who hns not studied the sub)e?;t, and who I rises no time in cutting off his advertising at I the first nil favorable sign, this Is a revelation. 'The big fellows with the Derve to use their j best judgment lake advantage of the tempo. ! rary lull to place themselves more firmly in control ot the market, and so reap rich har1 verts.

This has been the dullest Christmas socially speaking, that Abbeville has wen for years. The hard times has been one c.iuse of this, but several deaths lately In our little city have cast a shadow of gloom over many families, and Christmas has been a time of sorrow and mourning,whereas usually only happiness and merriment has made the h i iiJay season on ly loo short.
