Loryea Drug Store. -There is considerable substantial talk now for the organization of a new bank. which we hope, if it results in the es tablishment of one, will make it less ex pensive for people to do business with such an institution. The rate of inter est is plenty high, and it eats like a cancerous sore, but when added to that, are the expenses paid to the bank's attorney, the borrowing busi ness is burdensome. The people need competition in the banking business as well as in any other line, and if the new bank will compete and _lessen charges for obtaining money, it will be a benefit to the community other svise not. Then there is another way -to look for benefit from competing 'anks; in this town some of the officers .of the bank are also interested in other business, and there is a feelng on the outside, that these oicers have an advantage of business information they do not like for com ~petiors in the bank-a decided advan -tage. It is a common practice in the business world to apply to local banks for the financial standing of men, and business men are jealous of their rate ing, they would rather not have their financial rating fixed by men who are in the same business as themselves. Therefore if a new bank is established its officers ought not to be engaged in business in conipetition with the bank's patrons, and it will, in time, share the increased banking business that com peting banks will create. The Sheriff sales last Monday were largely attended and the bidding was quite spirited. The tract containing 95 acres, sold ander foreclosure proceedings at the suit of S. M. Nessen against Elizabeth Mack and others, was knocked off to S. 'M. Nexsen for $380. Same plaintiff against Hannah Re -vine and others, tract con taining 42 acres, was sold to S. M. Nexsen for .8100. In the case of Marion Moise, plain tiff, against Catherine B. DuBose and -others, foreclosure: sold to Lee & Moise for $25. The case of Mamie J. Graham and others, against Nettie Bruuson and others, partition proceedings; tract c land in Santee swamp. containing 2,62'3 :acres, was started off at 8200. and the bidding grew spirited; a hundlred dol lars was bid like it was so many cents. and finally Maj. A. Levi became the purchaser for $2,650. For delinquent taxes four lots in Ful ton township were sold to A. Levi, at torney, for $15.25. and in St. James township a tract of land, sold as the property of Midldleton & Ravenel, cou taining 64M acres, was sold to W. C. Dui R~ant for $285.05. When this piece of property was offered M. C. Galluchat, Esq., gave notice that the property be longed to E. R. Galluchat and is in her oossession, the taxes were being paid by her. and that whatever claim Mid dleton -& Ravenel had was for a debt, and the same has been paid. This had the effect of making some who would have bid stop for fear of a lawsuit. When the SheritT had concluded his official sales he offered, for the execu tor of the estate of A. Jackson Tindal, 11 acres of land, which was bought by - B H. Han for $360.25. Emancipation Celebration. The colored people from far and near "dressed in their best Sunday clothes" were here last Thursday to celebrate -cipation Day," and for the large de up of all sorts., from the - --d to the exalted preach er. it was a behaved gathering. There was not least sign of intox ication. none o -antics of the swag gering bully handy razor, 'cothLing and no . the occa sion. unless possibly small sized malediction at e de-del-dum brass band, from the sout a east corner of the Lord-only-knows where. This aggregation and combi '?ation of discordant sounds was ever present and doing full time whenever an intermission on the stand would show itself. The band was the only alarming feature of what was a very creditable conduct of such a joyous oc casion. The negro, through a prociamation from President Abraham Lincoln was liberated from bondage thirty nine years ago. and it was in commemora tion of this great, and joyous-to them, event that they congregated together to pour out from their souls their ap preciation for becoming free American citizens. Had these people celebrated -this event at the bung-hole of a whis key barrel, and made themselves dan gerously obnoxious to their former masters, it would have been not sur prisin', even though senseless. but in stead of wasting their appreciation in debauchery. they made the day one of profit as well as pleasure. by carrying out in magnificent detail a well ar ranged program. R. A. Stewart. Esq., as chairman of the reception committee. was master of ceremonies and after the large pro cession had marched around town. un der the severe strains from the band, and the direction of Marshals J. D. Washington, Hansom Hampton, C. P. Ragin. J. C. Cooper, Ira Levine, Robt. Guess, Tucker .Iellett, July Stukes, the immense crowd, fully one thousand assembled in front of the court house where chairman Stewart delivered a speech explaining the object of the gathering. The first number on the program was a song by the assemblage followed by a very fervent and eloquent prayer by Rev. J. W. Easley pastor of the Bap tist church and as soon as the preacher said Amen, the band broke -in and made the welkin ring with a tune which should be convicted for disor derly conduct. Samuel Hampton of Rimini read the emancipation proclamation, followed by more disorder from the band. Miss Lucille stewart read an essay in a manner deserving very high praise. Her enunciation and gestures were perfect. and demonstrated a high order of eloqution: this was also fol lowed by the band, but fortunatelv the music was not suticient to effect Miss Stewart's effort. Then was introduced - English from Charleston. who was introduced as "a man with the money." This speaker made no pretenses towards ora tory, but he made a very good speech: gave wholesome advice, freed entirely from anything which would excite race prejudice, urged upon his hearers to pay their debts and "stay at home." The speaker went on and urged his people to be thrifty and honest: their advancement depended on their indi vidual efforts and not upon Congress or the politicians. He said "I do not care hat Congress does,by attending strict ly to my own business, treating with justice those with whom I do business, and by paying my debts, and not wast ing my earnings: I am a free and inde pendent American citizen, respected by my neighbors in spite of Congress." The whole line of his remarks indi cated a conservative spirit, a man with good, practical sense. and a man who has been successful in life. English's speech was followed by the irrepressi ble, changing its tune only in regard to length, to give time for a collection to be taken up by the purchasing of bal lads to help pay expenses. In a speech embellished with many rhetorical figures. Chairman Stewart introduced the orator of the day Hon. S. E. Smith, a government employee in the Charleston custom house. This speaker bega:a by apologizing for speaking plain, that he did not come to hurl boquets, but to tell plain truths, and to hew to the line, regardless of where the chips would fall. He evi dently had not prepared his oration, as it was not throughly knitted together, but from the position taken by him he made a good speech. At times we we thought we could detect signs of race prejudice, but in a moment it would be driven away by a kindly ref erence to the white of the South. Smith is evidently a student of poli tics and argues more from the stand point of the politician than from the student's view search of a solution of the race prfoblem in the South. He urged his hearers to stand up for their rights and strongly intimated the day is not far off before their right of bal lot would be returned to them. He was opposed to the deportation of the negro and spoke of the advancement made by. his race, and lhe deprecated the unwise. as he termed it, statesmanship of pres ent political leaders. The speaker at times would wax warm in eloquence. and evidently had given the political condition of 'his race a great deal of stud. He did not seem kindly disposed towards substituting foreign emigration for negro labor, and his argument on line was teeming with logic. The ceremonies closed with singing a ballad, led by RI. A. White, and the benediction by Rev. R. H. Perrin. A Scientific Discovery. Kodol doe~s for the stomach that which it is unable to do for itself, even when but slightly disordered or overloaded.
