Ihe Stockholders Of the Graniteylle
Mehuiacturng Company held their annual
meeting last week and reelected the samo
oihcers. This Company has paid during
the past year dividend Of twenty one per
cent, which shows the profit well man.
aged factory can make in South Carolina.
In the face OF this kind of testimony An.
derson should not longer hesitate to invest
the requisite capital to secure factory. I,
VIII surely pay good dividend TO the
Stockholders, and will greatly improve our
city and surrounding territory.
we are gratified ~ learn that our esteem
ed friend, j. II. McGill, of the Hartwell
Sun, who has been confined to his room for
ABOUT month, suffering intensely from
decayed tooth. is improving rapidly. The
georgia Press could not well afford To let
cGill shuttle off his mortal COLI at pres
ent, especially for the sake of All old tooth.
we are not ID. ID. s., nor all NJ. d.. but
would suggest to Nc. to purchase a few
ounces of dynamite and have all of his de-
cayed teeth filled with it, so that if they
ever give him any more trouble he can puy
Nihilist on them.
| Mr.. Thos. H. Palmer, of Fork township,
a good soldier Of the late war, exhibited to
us last week pocket book which he had
carried through the whole of the struggle
| The pocket.book contained his parole and
some Confederate money. Our little suuib
| OF two or three weeks ago about preserving
| such relics has called attention to the sub
Ject, and good many Of our readers have
looked them up and put them away for safe
keeping. Mr.. Palmer has also frying
par which he brought home with
him, which reminds him very forcibly
of hard times.

have the sincere sympathy Of many adnli-
rers of the deceased.

q q m bnf So inf tod
in. We should, if possible. secure the ses-

show the proper spirit and use little en-
ergy we are confident We can secure the ses-
sion of the Institute.
The seini-annual meeting Of the Ander.
son County Singing Convention met with
Shiloh Church on last Saturday and Sun

The incorrect statement that the validity
of the Act chartering the Savannah Valley
Railroad is to be tested under the pending
Injunction case has been very widely and
persistently circulated, through misun-
derstanding no donbt, of the issues involv-
ed. The validity of the charter has already
been adudicated by Judge Hudson in
previous case. The present suit cannot
possibly affect anything except the unpaid
taxes. which amount in all to about six
thousand dollars, the greater part of which
Is due in Abbeville County, owing to
deficiency In the assessment. The plain.
tiffs in this action only represent about
seven hundred and fifty dollars. If they
succeed, not q dollar Of taxes already paid
will be invalidated, and the charter of the
oor,,any xv;ll In M yr ice be interfered with.
