Columbia State, has attracted our attention, and we re publish it here for the benefit of our people: "That small enterprises not only help to build up a town, but pay rioh dividends to their promoters, is amply proved by tho successful career of the Batesburg Concrete Stone Contracting Company. Thin compauy was organised live months ago for the purposo of manufacturing building matorial of saud and cement, aud uotwithstauding tho fact that the weather conditions have been very unfa vorable for such work, it has mot with almost marvelous success. At a mooting of the board of directors hold on Monday a dividend of 40 per ceut. was declarod ?? a result of the drat flvo months' work." Tho establishment of small enterprises in our midBt is what we have preached for years, but so far our appeals have not brought the result we have desired. There have beeu some enterprises started and built up, but tho minor oues- - .hose that require a capital of only a few thou sand dollars-tho really small industries that can bo so readily started, and with honest men at thoir heads, can be made I to briug tho stockholders a fair dividend [ on their mon jy-aro iguorod. What we want is sumo oue to take tho j lead-some oue williug to give good, honest service to tho work and seo that tho promoting is properly done, that | funds aro economically dispensed, and somo one who can command the conti ?.lenee of those w ho aro expected to con tribute to tho capital of a concern. 1 .ct ns consider these thiugs, and re member that what others have done we can do if wo will but try. What business man will start tho ball rolliug for a now .enterpriso? I<et some ono start the movo xnont. _ A GUARANTEED CURE FOR PILES Itching, Bliud, Bleeding, Protruding Piles.
