PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT NEWBERRY, S. C. T%e Fost-Office Savings Banks of England. r. Gregory, in the Independent.] I England claims the honor of the in vention of Penny Postage and of the _ Postoffice Savings Bank, two of the greatest boons that modern govern nentshave bestowed upon their peo pies. The cheap postage system has iade its way to all civilized lands, acilitatir the intercourse, and min istering immeasurably to the business, . itelligence and happiness of the people and helping on civilization itself. 4< The Postal Savings Bank, also if not~ os equally the friend of the people, has " spread from Great Britain to the Aus tralian States, Canada, France, Italy, Austria, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Cape Colony, New Zealand and Japan; and every year fresh delegations from . other countries visit the central Savings 'Bank of London to investigate and learn how to introduce the system. The Post-office Reports of 1884 and 1887 mention that applications for informa tion were received those years from the United States. Everywhere they are said to be working with a success that proves how close they are to the peo -ple's wants. The French Minister of Posts and Telegraphs says they have I : succeeded beyond expectation in France, and reports that "at the close I of 1885 (the fourth year) there were in w that country 692,582 depositors with a balance to their credit of 154,155,572 - francs," or nearly 30,000,000 dollars. The superiority of the system over that of the common savings banks nas now been thoroughly demonstiated, and its immense value to the peopie, as well as its popularity wherever established, 'must sooner or later lead to its intro duction in all civilized countries. It was started in Great Britain amidjf the competition of a multitude of pri- r vate savings banks, Znd of friendly, utual benefit and trade societies which served as savings banks in some degree for their- members; but on De cember 31st, 1886, at the end of twenty ..five yeas from its start, the number of accounts of depositors remaining open was 3,73l,421, and the amount to their c credit was 50,874,338 pounds sterling, while the value of the Government se - curities held by the bank was ?52,054, 052, showing a surplus of profits of over 8,000,000 which goes to the payment of the national debt. Chancing to be domiciled with an old and prominent officer of the Cen tral Bank, I have found opportunity to learn something of the operation and C progress of these banks in England, and 2of their general effects upon the people and their economies. Some of this in-I formation will be acceptable to many readers who are interested in the great I social problems of the times. The chief advantages of the Postalr -Savings Bank over common savings a nstitutions are: (1) The greater facili ties for depositing and withdrawing I ,funds, the depositor in Great Britain a being able to make his deposits at any ' one of the 8,500 post-offices having savings offices attached and towithdraw his money at any other where he may chance to be. (2) The facilities provided ( for the deposit of very small sums.t Printed slips are to be had at any post- s office on which the depositor can stick t postage stamps till he gets a shilling's t worth, the smallest sum for which an acount will be opened. This helps even the poorest, and mere children to C save their pennies and become depos- I itors. (3) The absolute security of the I deposits; the Government itself being responsible for their safe keeping and C for the interest on them. This crowning e advantage is so great as to oversbiadow l all arguments and claims which can be a made for the private banks. The pri- I vate savings institutiois have been C able, however, .till lately to compete t with the Post-office by investing theirt funds in Government stock and claim- E ing thus to give public security to their( depositors; and by offering a higher 1 rate of interest than the 2.) per cent. paid on deposits in the Post-office Bank. s Since the recent act of Parliament re duing the interest on the national f debt to 2.1 per cent., the private banks are no longer able to overbid the Postal Banks, and their gradual absorption by I the Post-office, which has been going on for years, has been much accelerated.1 My official friend tells me that four I -private savings banks have turned over their business to the Post-office withina the last fortnight, and he counts that the 400 still remaining will be taken in t during the next ten years. The perfect security of deposits is not only attracting private depositors, but friendly and benevolent societies and1 Trades Unions are asking to be allowed 1 to deposit their funds: and more than1 two thousand such societies gained1 such permission in 1886, the last year reported. The Penny Banks, which are doing such good work in the schools in teaching children economy and the habit of saving, are also allowed to make deposits; and out of 419 applica tions received in the eighteen months before the closing of the last published report no less than 202 were by School Penny Banks. The value of these banks, thus aided and stimulated, is expressed by the manager of a mission shool, who, writing for a further sup of deposit books, said: "The people find more than ever the value of the Penny Bank; it has turned our school from a ragged one into a respectableI Besides this work of saving the peo pie's pittances, the Post-office Savings Band has assumed several other func tions in aid oi its depositors. As no one is allowed to deposit more than ?30 ($145.50) in one year, nor to have more than ?200 ($970) on deposit drawing interest at one time, the bank acts as agent for its depositors to invest their savings for them in Government stock, investing not less than ?10 at a tinme nor more than ?300 for one person. The last report shows 35,305 investment ac ounts, the total amount of money in-] vested being ?845,606 sterling. >It also issues annuities or insures the lives of its depositors when desired. T he annuities are restricted to the ex-] +mme f?and ?100 and the life in urance cannot be for less than 45 nor sou nore than ?100. As these policies are C ecured by the Government, there can Cla )e no losses by the failures of insurance C omnpanies. 1 The extent of the Pcst-office Savings lin1 3ank business may be judged by the, E act stated by the Postmaster-General or 1 hat one in eight of the entire popula- F ion of England and Vales were de- cou >ositors during the year IS6. In the Cor ittle village of Horley, in Surrey, G vhere this is written, the depositors Gec iumber 457, or nearly one-fourth of the G vhole population. The facts reported the rom the Postal Savings Banks of the 'rance, Austria and Italy, are equally Gre mphatic as proof of the popularity and 1] tility of the system. The nu'mber of ton, lepositors and the amount of the de- I] osits in all the countries in which the frie ystem has been introduced are steadily i ,nd rapidly increasing, the facility of I naking deposits and the absolute se- nia urity felt by the depositors serving as I owerful incitements to the spirit of L aving. Sa These facts, intereing r.s they are in Le hemselves, picturing to us the patient iMa oil and the often heroic self-denial of X niions of the thoughtful poor seeking Ma o lay up something against the sure ' oming day of need, would nevertheless Du: ose their profoundest significance if 3 aken apart from the industrial and opi ocial conditions which have rendered pos iabits of economy and saving doubly C mportant to the laboring classes. wai dodern industrialism has made the the >eriods of non-employment frequent dia and certain. The enoimous productive C >ower of men massed in armies of la- Pri >or, furnished with machinery which setl nakes one man equal to ten (often a I iundred), with the division of labor to s arried to its utmost, has rendered the sea >eriodic glut of goods and failure of noi vork inevitable. and the idle times I nore frequent and protracted. The of t utile attempts of manufacturers to ace >vercome the effects of this overdoing ( )y cheapening goods through reduc- the ions of wages, and the frequently vain inl: fforts of the men to recoil from the s ulf by "striking" to force wages up ter, gain-the burning contentions of I apital and Labor out of which revo- fro, utionary Socialism has taken its rise- Ep iavemade only more apparent the in- uni lispensable need of "savings for the ' ainy day." Whatever other remedies of ] ociety may ultimately find for the j niseries and perils of its most numer- of us class from the overwork of to-day ,nd the enforced idleness of to-morrow, t is clear that at present the hope of he poor must rest either on begging or >n saving; on the charity which t reakens and degrades, or on the pru- m lence which elevates and strengthens. Sta .nd hence the Postal Savings Bank, a dOL avings bank convenient to all and se- the ure beyond question, instead of being, det s it might once have been considered, doubtful stretch of governmental ower, ought to be counted as part of eHe ovenmental duty--a maueowieRe ~ubic precaution and of national se urity. If the "Red Terror," which nany predict and all thoughtful men me: nore or less fear, is to be lessened or on avoided, the millions must be saved is I rom the starvation which makes the ;entlest men savage, and forces theA nost peaceful into revolution. It is obvious that the great and now ecessary work of stimulating and pro- cou ecting the people's savings cannot be mi one by egrporations. If they would ate hey cannot give the depositors absolute ei ecurity for their savings, and cannot ~ heefone inspire the confidence which 'r be Postal Savings Bank so fully gives. dn his then is one of those great public saii works which only the Government can I an do, and which a Government of the ease eople, by the people and for the peo- tion le" may wisely undertake..a These banks are not a panacea. No a ne claims that they will cure all social teed vils; tho in stimulating the sense of 2 >rudence and the desire for gain as well s by awakening the feelings of pro rietorship and independence, they heck extravagance and diminish in- sees emperance. The Bank Account starts [e he feeling of personal dignity, and Co :ives the man a stronger interest in the It is lovernment to which he has intrusted .1 us money. But while thus benefiting ers nany, the institution, it is true, injures Am ome by over-stimulating the love of :ain, and making them misers. My riend tells me of cases of persons who T iave large sums in the savings bank and Bru ho still resort to begging or the work- a' touse rather than touch their savings.PI n one case a man and his wife wvent r nto the workhouse for the winter, and L ived at the expense of the rate payers, hile the man had ?190 and his wife 180 in the Post-office Savings Bank. hen the Relieving Officer has reason o suspect such frauds he has the right m o ask information of the bank authori- el is, and if the parties have money on ve ikposit, to demand of the bank the pay- n nent of their board bills. Exept when a] us asked for by public authority for b he purposes of justice, every deposi-d or's account is kept secret, to save the oor and inexperienced from imnpor- g unity and fraud. e Barring these cases of miserly abuse, B here can be no doubt that the entire nluence of the Postal Savings Bank isa ;hol.esonme and good. The four mil- c< ions of people in the British Isles who P 2ow hold accounts in the Post-Office h< avngs Bank are not only happier in he sense of security against want, and lai urer for the self-denial they are led to >ractice, but they are in general better itizens because of their pecuniary in erest in the peace and safety of their :ointry.

F~or sale by Cotield & rhe Reason Why yer's Pills are so popular is, that hile always reliable as a cathartic edicine, they never leave any ill rets. This is because they are purely tgetable, and entirely free from calo el or any other dangerous drug. In I cases, therefore, whether the~ patient old or young, they may be confi mntly administered. In the Southern and Western States, here derangements of the liver are so tneral, Ayer's Pills have proved an in timable blessing. D. W. Baine, New erne, N.

I took them gularly for a few months, and my ealth was completely restored." Throughout New England, next to ng diseases, Stomach and Bowel mplaints are the most prevalent.
