RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHECK.
Judge Foreman Rules That "o
Deseret Bank Will Repay
Forged Paper.

i A decision was rendered late yesterday
afternoon by Judge Foreman in the case
of A. G.. Brixen vs. The Deseret National
Bank, by which the bank is held liable
for the forgery of G. j. Smith, the real
estate absconder, or rather the amount
involved in the forgery. 1t will be re-
membered that Smith forged the sigma
ture OF Mr.. w. A. Dunbar to a mortgage,
upon which he secured from A. G. Brixen
a loan of $500. Brixen made his check
out PAYABLE to w. A. Dunbar for the
amount less the interest for six months,
and Smith cashed it at Walker Bros
bank by forging again the signature
of Dunbar on the endorsement. Tie
check in due time was presented at the
Deseret National Bank, paid and charged
up to Mr.. Brixen and there the matter
rested for nearly year, when the gentle
men, learning OF the forgery returned the
check to the bank and demanded that
the amount be placed back to his credit.
This the bank refused to do, and the
present law suit was the result.
Judge Foreman, in his ruling, holds
that the bank and not the individual is
responsible for the matter of whom a
check is paid to, it being the duty of the
bank to see that the check is paid to the
party named in the order, or to
such person as is properly identified as /.
having received the endorsement, and !
he endorsement must also be established |
IS authoritative and genuine.

Senator Jones, of Florida, is believed
to be insane in his infatuated pursuit of
the hand and fortune of Detroit widow.
He is utterly neglectful of his Senatorial
duties, but as the Senatorship is worth
only $1,000 a year, while the widow is
worth 81 ,000,0 900, it must be confessed
that there is method in his madness.

son has never before asked for a position on
the State ticket, and we think it only rea-
sonable that she should now have rccogni-
tion. Hon. j. N. Lipscomb, of Newberry,
honored the Convention with his presence.
and was invited to a seat upon the floor.
He was invited to address the Convention
after it had transacted its business and
responded ina few remarks, thanking the
Convention for the compliment paid him,
and saying that he could testify to all that
had been said in reference to Hon. r. W.
Simpson. He said he did not expect an
endorsement from Anderson County, but
hoped that, if the delegation to the Con.
gressional Convention should be forced to
withdraw Mr.. Simpsons name, he would
not he forgotten, if his name was still
before that Convention. His remarks were
well received and literally applauded.
From the tenor of the Convention, it is
safe to say that Anderson County will do
her full share of the work in the approach
ing campaign.

The County Democracy

The County Democratic Convention con-
vened in the Court House last Monday ac-
cording to previous announcement. We
deem it unnecessary to give report OF the
Convention, as the Secretaries have fur
nished US with an official copy of the pro-
ceedings The body was very harmonious
throughout, and dispatched its business
with rapidity. The proceedings were re-.
markably free from speech-making. We
presume the candidates deemed it best to
save their wind for the stump in the Coun-
ty canvass. Col. E. B. Murray, who has
80 faithfully managed the interests of the
party in this County for the past eight
years, was unanimously reelected County
Chairman, thus paying him deserving
compliment for his worth and zeal as a
party manager. The action of the Con-
vention in endorsing Hon. r.. w. Simpson
as suitable candidate to represent the
Third Congressional District in the Ma
tional Congress was deserving and fitting
tribute to one of Anderson's most noble
SONS. II elected, he will ably represent
the District. In recommending the name

By soaking them over night, you can eat
fresh green beans all the winter through.
Some think they are oven better than
they are in the summer. Tt is always best
to put up such things as late in the fall as
your fruits and vegetables will allow.
We are happy to SEQ our young friend,
Willie Sullivan, who was so seriously
afflicted few weeks since, restored to his
natural self once more. Willie was a
dilligent student in the Williamson
school, and we hope to welcome him back
into our midst.

lily, also went to meet their numerous

week. Hope they will have pleasant
trip.

There have been three deaths in the vii
lsge during the last week, children of ]. r.
Hughey, Thomas Clark and J. P. Kerns,
from the effects of measles and cholera

as being dangerously i'll, but we hope the
hand of death will be stayed, and that they
will be blessed with speedy recovery.
Capt. Smythe has greatly improved the
appearance of his handsome residence, by
having it nicely painted. Great taste was
manifested in selecting the color, as it makes
beautiful contrast with the green foliage
and surrounding scenery. Mr.. Smythe's
family are on visit to relatives living near
Pendleton. We wish them much pleasure
and hope they will return to their beautiful
home feeling delighted with their trip.
Mr.. G.. s. Coffin has resigned the position

honors with becoming dignity.
Mr.. Gayden has finished the contract OF
raising the dam on the Greenville side of
the river, and 1 think we might say, with
out fear of contradiction, that we have the
finest dam and best improved water power
in the State. In its construction, as well as
in every other enterprise which this Com
pany has undertaken, they have spared
neither pains nor money to make it suc-
cess. 1t seems to us that there is water
sufficient pouring over the dam to-day, un-
utilized and unneeded, to turn much more
machinery than is now in operation, and
instead of the 900 looms now in motion,
1900 might be at work, praising with their
music the ingenuity Of man. In all proba-
bility this would have been done had not

enacted the law of taxation against Manu-
