ON THE QUESTION.
Editor
Io your issue of Tuesday, you
say that the of
on Saturday was construed
by some one to upon the
present bank in Greenville- I as-
sure those who thus construed
the article, that nothing was more
foreign to and purpose
of the writer.
The present bank has done a
great towards aiding the bus
prosperity in the county,
but business proportions are fast
growing. The tobacco market
did a prosper the
town and community with one
warehouse The and
the people urged the
building of more warehouses, and
what is the result It is too ob-
to be discussed-
Every business is more pros
where there is
No one will dispute the
that without convenient fa-
for money upon
easy terms, when necessary, bus-
enterprises of any kind are
slow to spring up or to prosper
quickly.
I am sure the owners of the
present bank do not to sup-
ply the needs of the business in-
of the community. The
people know better. At any rate,
with two or more banking
in the town would
be a spirited activity that would
inspire sleeping industries, that
would now life to the town
and development beyond the ex
of the most sanguine.
Our natural resources are
nominal, and only require active
money power, with careful
judgment, and the present
bank would be one of the
of the many developing en-
that would follow. It is
and coming
if our own people do not avail
themselves of the opportunity,
strangers will.
Money has its power in every
department of life, and the
who comes in the field and uses
his money in business matters in
a business manner, will find
awaiting him.
No competition, but little
thrift or enterprise is the result-
The only purpose that has in
arguing this matter is the general

Laundries on Board the
Transatlantic Steamers.
There are no laundries
ship; they take up too much room.
So the chief steward lays in thou-
sands of pillow-slips, sheets and
towels.
These come on board, says the
Record, up in
a dozen each, and are stored
in the linen locker, a cubbyhole of a
place on the main deck. The
pipes from the engine room
through it and keep it hot.
There is no danger of linen get-
ting mildewed there. The
which has been used is thrown into
another room, provided with the
atmosphere, and is so kept
thoroughly dry.
Where there are clean napkins
every day frequent changes of state-
room linen and an everlasting re-
of towel racks, the de-
upon the locker are very ex-
tensive.
A liner like the New York puts to
sea with about nine thousand
serviettes, ten thousand towels, six
or seven thousand sheets, eight
thousand pillow-slips and about one
thousand tablecloths. Most of these
find their way to the soiled linen
locker in the course of the voyage.
When the vessel arrives they are
tarted off to a laundry.
