The pic mic at Cooley's Bridge last Sat-
urday attracted large crowd. Interesting
speeches were delivered by John. G. Ca.
pers, of Greenville, and School Commits
sioner Wardlaw, of this County. In many
respects the day was most enjoyable one.
! Several young men, however, imbibed too
| freely in whiskey, and as result difficult
| ty followed, of which the GreenYille Neaps,
| Of Sunday, gives the following particulars !:
| "The enjoyable pic mic given at Cooley's
Bridge yesterday was disturbed by two
| fights of serious nature. Several young
men with too much whiskey aboard got In
an ugly humor, and in the afternoon Lem
| Stancell and Pink Jordan became involved
in fight on the Anderson side of the river.
Jordan cut long cash across Stancells
breast with razor, making an ugly
wound Notwithstanding his wound,
Stancell threw Jordan to the ground and
was vigorously pummelling him when the
| com batants were separated. A short while
later Jordan crossed to the Greenville side
of the river and got into fight with James
Smith, friend Of Stancell. Smith, it is
said used pair of knucks effectively on
Jordan, and the latter was carried off to
have his wounds dressed. He was badly
disfgured. The fights were the only dis
orderly incidents of the day, and were
greatly regretted, as the people living in
that section have always enjoyed good or.
der at their gatherings"
Arrangements have been agreed on for
the National Bank of Anderson to transfer
its banking house, entire equipment, good
will, &C., on the 1st of next September to
the Bank Of Anderson as its successor, so
that no interruption whatever in the bu.
siness will occur. The Board of Directors
OF the new organization will have linn
! tied amount of stock to dispose Of, and
| persons desiring it can leave applications
at the National Bank and obtain further
| in form alton in regard to it. Payments, it
| Is believed, will not be called for before
| August, and installments will probably
extend over a period from that time until
about 1st January, 1892. A meeting OF
the new Board of Directors was held on
Wednesday, 2Sth ult, at which all Of the
nine members were present, and the or.
ganization completed by the unanimous
election of J. a. Brock president, Syl-
yester Bleckley, Vice. President, B. Frank
Mauldin, Cashier, J. w. Bruce, Assistant
Cashier, and Joseph N. Brown, Attorney.
With its proposed capital stock of$2CO, 900,
and the large volume of valuable business
with which the new Bank will start, no
one, of course, will doubt its success. The
new Bank will substantially be under the
management of the old officers of the Ma
tional Bank, which, of itself, will be of
considerable advantage. The National
Bank of Anderson to-day stands seventh
in the four hundred National Banks of the

ure to its good management.
Anderson's fire department is credit to
| the CITY, and responds to alarms with
an alacrity that is astonishing The boys
we're out practicing one night last week,
| made some good runs, and threw water
with very little delay. Now for sugges.
ton: Anderson's companies are inferior TO
none in the State. They are handsome
set of fellows, and exhibit some fine speci.
| mems of manhood. The efficiency Of the
| fire department is matter OF vital i'm
portance to citys welfare and growth.
| In the next few months three important
| Associations, one in June and two in
July, with representatives from every
section of the State, will be held in this
place. BY these people every enterprise
and institution In Anderson will be dis

here these representative men and women
of the State will form their estimate of
our population, of our citizenship, and of

in contact; of our factories, banks, places
of business and hotels; OF our railroad
facilities and local transportation of our
! enterprise, energy and hospitality, of city

department. If they are pleased, their
| favorable impressions will be retailed to q
thousand interested ears, and their Ideas
Of the place will be the ideas Of the hun.

boys' of the tire companies get themselves
into good practice and give some exhibi-
tions of skill and runs similar to those
made few years since in New berry and
Charlotte, where they won such we'll
merited applause? Such entertainment
will be enjoyed and appreciated, and will
advertise Anderson extensively. Gentle.
