Philadelphia few days ago. 1t is to th'
effect that persons meeting on the high
way must each keep to the right. Thit
rule is modified in the case of footmar
or horseman, who cannot compel team
ster who has a heavy load to turn out O
the beaten track, or even light wagor
with heavy draught. IF horseman o.
Light vehicle can pass with safety on th'
left of a: heavily laden team it is theil
duty to give way and leave the choice t
the more unwieldy vehicle.
While Henry schramm, of Charlotte
N, c.. was sitting in a Richmond ane
Danyille car at Atlanta some days ago
lust as the train was moving out, pant
ing stranger dropped into the seat besid
him. ,'Good Lord ~ said he, "I've for
gotten my ticket, and have nothing will

susceptible North Carolinian did SO

The Anderson Building and Loan AS.
sociation has now been in operation
nearly two years. About twenty-five
thousand dollars of the capital stock has
been paid in, and after all expenses the
Association has assets amounting to
about forty-twol thousand dollars. twill
thus be seen that SO far the management
has been most successful. The earnings
up to this time have been about sixty per
cent upon the stock paid in, and the As
sociation has six more years in which to
operate. It is not probable that it will
require more thar four. years longer to
wind up by the Limitation which requires
it to close whenever the profits reach one
hundred per cent upon the stock sub
scribed. The profits at two years will
reach twenty per cent when only one
fourth Of the capital has been paid in.
The profits by discounts aud interest
together will increase hereafter, and by
this means the Association is expected to
be brought to an earlier close than was at
first expected.
The Norman Percheron Horse Compa-
ny are doing valuable work for this
and the surrounding Counties. They
have several very handsome horses.
which attract the interest of our people
wherever they are seen. They are the
finest draft and farm animals in the
world. They are easily kept, and do the
heaviest work with ease. After seeing
them our people are invariably impressed
with theidea that the stock of this coun-
try oughtto be larger and stronger to do
the most efficient work, and they can
adopt no more successful plan for accom-
plishing this purpose than by raising
Percheron colts. These colts
grow up for use fully one or two years
sooner than the ordinary stock, and are,
for their purposes, much moro useful.
From seventy-fve to one hundred thou
sand dollars is sent out of Anderson
County every year for horses and mules,
which ought to be raised at home. Upon
q farm with proper pasturage, the
expense of raising horse or mule colt
would not be near as much rs the animal
when grown would cost. Anderson
County could save fully fifty thousand
dollars every year by raising horse and
mule colts. The attention of our people
has been turned largely in that direction
for the past year or two, and. the results
that there are now more colts in tho
County than ever before. 1t is a step in
The right direction, and should be perse:
vered in. There is money in it.
On last Thursday, the 9th inst, col
bred woman named Fanny Ligon was
by the groans of man to a
creek. on Mr.. w. A. Meals plantation,
near where she was washing, and upon
going thither found an immigrant from
Poland, named John Bargial, lying in
she creek resting upon his elbow, and
from his mouth. She immedi-
ately made the facts known, and Mr..
Bargial was carried to his brothers house,
where it was ascertained that he was shot
through the stomach. DR.. Ducket was
sent for, but could do moth.
ing to save the wounded man, as his inju-
ries were beyond the possibilities Of
human skill. The wounded man at first
lid not seem to know that he was shot,
and. afterwards told his brother that he
shot himself on purpose to end his life, as
be- had been sick for q long time. and did
not expect ever to get well. Afterwards
ais mind seemed clearer, and he told sew
sral persons that he was walking out with
his pistol and started a covey of par
tridges, and tried to shoot them, but his
pistol failing to fire he was examining it,
and accidently discharged it with the
fatal result stated. There were no tracks
other than his own about the creek, and his
pistol was found about one hundred yards
off. There were no signs of struggle,
or evidence OF any foul play. On Friday
morning he died, and Coroner Nance
held an inquest that afternoon, at which
The jury adopted the version of an acci.
dental shooting, and rendered verdict
