This is utterly astonishing an 1 ?> ?yond

SOUTH CAROLINA FOREVER
There seems to bo do abatomcn
in tho extraordinary rush in estab

Carolina. So much has been dom
in that line, so much capital lia
been invested in various sections o
the State, and so much has been sua
about it by all the papers of tin
State during tho few mouths of thi
year that it has attracted the alteu
tion of tho whole couutry and now yoi

Capitalists have an eye to business
