NOTES FROM ABBEvILLE COURT HOUSE

Your correspondent was awav from
Abbeville on business last week ano
his communication for the AdOerteSer
reached it's destination too late for pub
lication through mistake.
General Greedy is not the proper
man to be at the head of the weather
bureau. He cannot manage the rains
worth O cent. The proper man IN the
position would have kept back some
of the recent rain for dry time next
summer. Greely might do very well
for the Arctic regions. ,.
Messrs. w. C.. MCGOWAN and Ellls
G. Graydon were in Greenville last
week attending Court.
The Court House looks very much
improved since the front has been
completed.
There is difference of opinion be,
tween the Auditor and the National
Bank here, as to how much taxes the
bank here should pay. Mr.. Jones Is
of the opinion that the bank mas not
made proper return OF its taxable
property. The matter has been re-
ferred to the Comptroller-General::
Should Mr.. Jones' position be sustained
the State will be the gamer to very
large amount. This matter Is very III
teresting to the taxpayers. ~
The experimental bridge over Little
