Distinguished Arrival.

The train on the Grcenyille Railroad yes
tcrday brought down Prof L. S. g. Lowe, the
celebrated ,cronant, with his balloon He at
tractcd much attention, and his account of
his rapid trip from Cincinnati was scarcely be-
licved, until he showed papers from that city
of the goth inst
We had the pleasure of long converse
ton with Prof H., whom VIC found to be
highly Intelligent gentleman, anda very pleas
| ant companion. From him we obtained ma
ny items of interest concerning his voyage,
which wc would be glad to publish at length,
but the crowded state of our columns prevents
He left Cincinnati on Saturday morning, at
4 o'clock, passed up the valley of tho Ohio
river to Virginia, with the intention of land
ing near Petersburg, but after crossing the
Allcgbanics. a current bore him South be-
twccn this range and the Bluo Ridge A lit
tie before ! O'clock, he came down near the
line between North and South Carolina; but
linding himself at too great distance from
any railroad, he asccndcd again, and next
came down ut Pea leidge, in Union District,
mt O'clock p. M, having thus travelled, by
the course hc pursued. about l,2O0 miles in
nine hours. This, We think, is the fastest
time yet made.
From Pea Ride, Prof. Lowe was conveyed
to Uniouville, where he remained until yes
terdny morning, when he came down to this.
city with the Intention of going on immcd.
atcly to Washington, but on learning that
there WAS duubt of getting through, he chan
gcd his route, aud will leave tlismorning for
Louisville, KY, where he has located his res.
ideuct, via Augusta and Nashville.
The balloon has a diameter of 42 feet, is
A yards in circumference, SO feet from top to
valve, and will hold 700 feet of gas
The result of this experiments, trip goes
to confirm the belief of Prof l.. in the entire
practicability of Carrying out his great enter
prise, to which lie has devoted so much time
and money, that of crossing the Atlantic in
balloon. Th:a he,will probably attempt dur.
ing tho coming summer.
Prof. Lowe kepta journalof incidents du-
ring his entire trip, and has promised us de.
tailed account of tho same as soon as practi-,
cable after his arriyaat louisville. which w-ss NC

BANK OF STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA

ShAHLESIOS unty 10, 1901.
IINllE LEGISLATURE having. ut it's last
Il session, authorized the issue of Bonds to
the amount of SG75,000, bearing an interest of
Z per cent, for the purpose of providing the
funds required to sustain the State in the act of
resuuing her rights of Sovereignty. this Bank
is now prepared to dispose of the Bonds They
are issued in sums of $50, 500. and $3.50. An
opportunity is thus afforded eve"y citizen to
make secure and profitable investment, while
contributing aid to the cause in which the State
is engaged. With the view of enabling citizens
in any part of the State to share IN the loan
the Clerks of the Courts of the several Districts
ieve been requested to open Books of Subscrp-
ton for the Stock. Suitable arrangements will
be made for furnishing bonds on the receipt OF
the money at an carly day after each subscrp-
ton has been made. Engagements for the
purchase of Bonds may be made at the Bank
or mt any of its branches. 1t is probable that
mt the next session of the Legislature those
parties who desire it may have have their Bonds
converted into Stock.

but it is known that they are concealed by the

the river. They still occupy tue tort but APP
parently not in any great force, although a
very heavy body lies directly in their rear.
About midnight there was continued firing
at the mouth ut the Munocacy. 1t was the
shelling OF a rebel camp by our batteries. The
