The preparations for the Ball and Ban
quet at the Hotel Chiquola on the night
of the 3lst inst. are being pushed with all
the energy possible, and the occasion
promises to be most enjoyable one. We
learn that the Committee of Arrangements
have decided that no gentleman shall
receive ticket of admission until he has
first paid his subscription of $500 to the
Finance Committee. Of course this does
not include visitors from distance. The
Hotel will be crowded on this occasion,
and there will be no room for children,
therefore do not carry them there, as they
will not be admitted.
Col. Cecil Gabbitt, General Manager oi
the Central system, and Superintendent
Curran of the P. r. & W. G. r. R., spent
last Tuesday in Anderson, and while here
had a conference with a number of our
citizens in reference to putting on regu-
lar passenger train Oh the S. Y. r. R.
This was Col. Gabbitt's first visit to An
derson. He expressed himself as being
agreeably surprised to see such live,
progressive city, and said we were right
in demanding passenger train on the
road, and that he would use his efforts to
/. get it placed there. We hope to see the
train running in few days.
Mr.. Geo. T. Bryan, who has been the
soliciting agent for the P. R. & W. G. r.
R. for the past year or two, has been pro-
NOTED to position in the General Freight
Agents office in Augusta, and will make
that city his home. He is succeeded by
Mr.. Albert W. Anderson, who has been
the Company's agent at Laurens. Both
these gentlemen were in the city last
week, and we had the pleasure of meet
ing Mr.. Anderson, who is courteous
clever gentleman, and who will make 6
worthy successor of Nj. Bryan. The lat

day evening, about 7.30 o'clock. The fire
was in the Anderson Oil Mill, and hat
caught on the second floor. The fremer

short time the flames were under control
It was stubborn fight at one time th'
flames were shooting through the win
dows, aud it was thought the building
would be consumed. The cause Of th'
fire is unknown. The damage has beer
assessed at 1928, which was covered in
surance. The Mill will be running agair
in a few days.
