4 Last week the directors of the National
Bank at Abbeville declared dividend OF five
per cent. on the stock-reserving large fund
O! accumulated profits still on hand.
| The annual meeting of the stockholders o.
the Bank took place yesterday in the office o!
the President. Nearly all the stock was repre-
sented, and, upon hearing the reports Of the
officers and discussing the business OF the
bank. entire satisfaction was expressed with
both the conduct {. INC officers and the result
of the years wolk.
1t Is stated that not one dollar has been lost
| by the bank, and that no note is now out
standing whose security is deemed ut all
doubtful.
A resolution was adopted authorizing the
directors to increase the capital stock to S75,-
OOO. The increase OF the capital stock, toseth-
err with the growing confidence of deposit tors
in every section o: the country, will enable
the officers t. Cni;lrge the usefulness of the
bank, and will make it possible for the stock
holders 10 realize still better returns for their
investment.
The bank, so far, has proved of so much
benefit to the town. that many of our citizens
wonder why it was not established earlier
Besides accommodating business firms in
the towns Of the county, the farmers are be-
ginning to borrow money at Il reasonable rate
of interest rather than to buy needed articles
on q credit at high prices.
Let no purchaser forget that money can he
had at the bank much cheaper than credit
can usually be had Of others. Better give the
same security at the bank, take the money,
and go into the market to buy where the most
favorable bargains may be had.

Our Increasing Wealth.

The Ne,rs and Courier has recently publish
ed some statistics which look well, and which
must give readers abroada pleasant picture OF
our condition, while furnishing new proof ol
the enterprise Of our metropolitan neighbor.
1t may be true that the people of the State,
as whole are getting rich, but, kind reader
what matters that to You, if you sit idle, or
loiter away your time and make no profit
during the passing years"
The newspapers talk much Of factories, rail-
roads, and other enterprises in which the
reh are engaged, while the individual pros

The time may come when the Gcorgia, Car

so, the assessed value Of tho property In the
State will be a million or more dollars.
The Cumberland Gap road would also add Il
million dollars.
The proposed Cnakcr road may pass by wal
halla. through Anderson, Abbeville ana oth-
er counties to the coast, and add another MIL
lion dollars to the taxable property OF the
State.
The Atlantic, Greenvile and Western Road
would add million dollars.
added to our wealth, of what benefit will they
be to tho individual. unless he sells something
to the roads or works for them?
Only those citizens who expect situations
rs contractors or employees in some way can
receive any direct benefit from them.
On the other hand, many of the towns and
townships along the lines Of these roads will
be heavily burdened with taxes.
These taxes will fall upon the individual cit
| izen. and from which. there is no escape for
any man.
The system of allowing the impecunlouS
citizen under any and every prcteXt to vote
away the property Of MS more thrifty neigh
boz for his own benefit, or for the aggrandisr-
ment Of others, is so universally popular that
nine times out of ten the majority of the
voters arc willing to lay violent hands on the
property Of the minority.
| The lazy, trifling, impecunious citizen in
many towns can and do levy taxes on his in
dustrious and economical neighbor to educate
his own children.
In nearly every town or county Of the State
! the leaders in some grand scheme have called
on that class Of citizens TO vote away our
money to chartered corporations and have
fastened upon the people bonded indebted
ness which this generation Will never sec
paid.
Our forefathers were wise enough to provide
against the joining of Church and State, but
the possibility Of joining School and state
never occurred to their mind.
| The Joining of School and State is copied
from those despotic countries, the home OF
communism.
The appropriation Of the citizens money t"
| educate the children of his neighbor is con-
trary to the spirit of our government, and
with the success which has attended this rob-
berry of the taxpayer, 1t is not unreasonable
| to expect other and further robbery Of the in
dustrious citizen.

Back from Tallapoosa, Georgia.

Mr.. NJ. A. Cason, formerly Of this county
but now Of the ''City Of the Golden River.
called at our office yesterday, and gave an in
teresting account Of tbsfew city Of which the
Net0 York HeralI so lately gave such {
gloomy, account.
Fs says there is no doubt that there is iror
= ore in abundance in the vicinity. Gold ha:
been found in quantities assaying from S25 tc
$500 ton.
No machinery has yet been put up for work
Ing either the iron or gold mines, but it is
thought that such machinery will soon be
put up.
A location has been selected for a boiler fac.
tory.
The new railroad, he thinks, will not come
to the town, though many persons in Talla
poosa are confident that it will 20 that way.
The town is gradually growing. l2O houses
have been commenced or finished.
Mechanics are constantly at work at prices
ranging from sl5O to $3.50 day.
There are now on the ground plenty Of me
chanics. Sometimes twenty come in a day,
and he wouldn't advise others to 60 to that
place with view to getting big wages.
With few exceptions, work Of every kind
has been at standstill since the holidays
Some parties are we'll pleased, while many
are displeased, from the fact that they expect
too much, and expect 1t in too short a time.
AS he was leaving the town to come home
Mr. Cason met Mr.. Hugh Wilson, senior, on
the road to the depot He asked him to "tell
the good people of Abbeville to keep away
from this Internal place" From this compli-
mentary remark Of his newly adopted home
IL is presumed that he is not exceedingly we'll
pleased with the "City Of the Golden River,
though we have nothing else than this
slight expression upon which to base an opin'
ion as to what he may think Of the place.
Mr.. Cason says he himself is not "sick, > and
expresses satisfaction with his move. He
says he can sell out his purchases at profit
Of fifty per cent. Good enough. We'd sell.
He thinks that the company who control
the property have made some mistakes, one ol
which was in putting the management OF
their lands into the hands of one firm. He
believes that every man should have had an
equal chance with every other man.
We have read the NeW York HeraldS report
Of the town;
We have, so to speak, seen the balloon as
cension, and have been shown an account of
the splendors of the place as furnished by the
Tallapoosa newspaper;
We have now seen Mr.. Cason. and talked
with him. face to face;
And we do not want to move to Tallapoosa,
Georgia.

Skipping an Issue.
Monthly Unioi

A number of country publishers make 1t
q rule to skip weeks publication at the
Christmas holiday season. This is a serious
mistake In judgment, because the small saw
ing effected is more than wiped out by the
loss of advertising at this the busiest season
in the year. The holiday trade is at Its
height during Christmas week, and storckccp-
ers want to make the most OF the time By
placing their announcement before the pub
lie. Therefore the publisher who temporari-
ly suspends loses many dollar bs his short.
sighted policy. On the other hand his COM
petitors who keep open shop the year year
business sagacity. Neither do subscribers
relish the idea of losing n weeks news. and
publishers who fail to appear regularly incur
the risk of permanently losing some of their
readers through the cnterprc Of their rivals.
Papers used cnntisously througout the year
are liable to gain the community,s goodwill
at the expense of those publishers whose
erroneous views of economy impcl them to
drop an Issue at every opportunity.
Instead Of skipping number at this busy
season, country publishers would serve their
own interests much better by increasing the
facilities afforded 10 advertisers. Publishers
who give the business community the oppor-
tunity to proclaim Its wares are the ones who
make the most money.
