the good reputation he had always
borne.
Mr.. Frierson's remarks were hearth
ly applauded. At the conclusion of
his speech he retired from the meet
ing.
It was then moved and carried that
the Chair SappoInt committee of
ten, and that this committee appoint

the committee be instructed to en-
ploy an expert accountant to assist
them in their work.
j. II. Courtney moved in lien that
the committee be not INSTRUCTED"
but empowered" to employ an eX-
pert, if they deemed it necessary.
w. ]. WhitthOrne then moved the
following as a substitute for the above
resolutions.
Be it resolved, That this committee
be instructed to as soon as practica-
BILE, proceed in accordance with the
previous request of Mr.. Lucius Frier-
son to investigate the condition of the
Columbia Banking Co., and the
causes leading hereto, the assets and
liabilities OF said bank, and to en-
plOy, if they deem necessary, an eX-
pert to aid them in such investigation.
And be it further resolved, that they
be requested to act promptly and
publish in our county papers the re-
suit of their investigation as soon as
it is completed, and such information
as may be deemed of benefit to de-
pOsitOrs, as they progress.
Mr.. Whitthorne's motion prevailed
p. H. Southall, Esq, moved that
Mr.. Frierson be requested by this
meeting of the banks creditors to file
at once an inventory ana Schedule oil
the assets and liabilities of the said
bank. The motion was carried.
Mr.. Southall then moved that the
Examining Committee proceed at
once to examine the books and assets
and liabilities of the bank, and make
report to the creditors through the
county papers this week. Several of
the committee and others not on the
committee objected to this on the
ground that the committee could not
make proper examination of the
books in so short a time; that go
hurried a report might be incorrect
and misleading; the affairs of the
bank might be reported in a worse or
better condition than they really
were. After argument Mr.. South
all withdrew his motion.
Mr.. Lander moved that the COM
mittee, who had been empowered to
employ an expert accountant, ba
further empowered to pay for his
services out of the funds of the bank.
This motion carried, and then on
motion of Mr.. A. S. James, the meet
ing adjourned, subject to the call of
the Examining Committee.

Thanksgiving aud ArbOr Day at Mt.
Pleasant.

MT. PLEASANT, Nov. 1910 the
readers of the HERALD, who teel an
interest in education, it will be graft
fving to know of the marked success
of Howard Institute. Although a
new institution of learning, under the
management of its able principal,
Prof. J. A. Bostick, it has already
become the pride of this people, and
we'll may those generous, public
spirited men, who by their time and
labor and money erected the hand
some building, feel that their work
has prOspered.
Thanksgiving was of course oo-
served at the Institute, and after the
homage payed to "King Turkey" in
the various homes, came the feast for
the mind. Hon. l.. p. Padgett, of
Columbia, had been invited to lee
ture to the school, and for an hour a
large and appreciative audience list
ened to the splendid effort of Maury's
distinguished orator.
Friday, to a stranger not knowing
WHY, the large six acre campus would
have presented a spectacle chaotic
IL was the celebration of Arbor Day
by pupils, teachers, patrons, and
friends, who had assembled with
picks, shoveIs and axes to plant trees.
Each department of the school had
been allotted ground, by which a large
square in front of the building fell to
Howard Literary Society, which is
composed of thirty young men. In a
few hours the entire campus was
dotted with trees, to stand as living
monuments of the interest and love
all those who participated have in
Howard Institute.

INC Record Smnshlng COntlnues.

They are still breaking records in
California, with all ages, from yearl-
ings up. A special from there, dated
last Saturday, says:-FrOu Frou, the
wonderful little yearling sydney hlly
owned by Valensin Stock Farm, tied
Belle Birds worlds record a week
ago yesterday On Tuesday last San
ders drove her in 2:26, beating the
record, but he was satisfied she could
do better, and yesterday he drove her
a square mile In 2:25H, beating his
worlds re ,ord three-fouTths of a sec
ond and leading Belle Bird a full sec
ODD. She was little lively in scor-
ing, but when Sanders was given the
word she went away In good shape,
Incl easing her speed as she settled
down, and went to the quarter in 8716
seconds. Sanders let her out a bit
then and she trutted the second
quarter in 3534 seconds, going the half
in I:13L. The third quarter was q
little slower, in 81 seconds, but sbe
came home at a terrible clip for
yearling, trotting the second half In
10 and going the last quarter in the
35-second clip that she has gone in all
her fast miles. When she went un-
der the wire strong and game in
2:254, great cheers went up for the
little WoTld-beating filly.
OldT LIleD hION0 u W. DOaNAD g1t
trotting mare Vic H., against her
record of 2:l3R, and lowered her
record to 2:l3L. She was sent again
and went to the half in the same time,
:O7, but broke on the finish, going
under the wire on a run. The tim.,
was 2:l3, but was not made official
because of the running.
Monbars, the famous Eastern 2
year-old colt by Eagle Bird, wa
driven by Starr against his record
2:1S, and reduced his mark to 2:1618.
His quarters were 80, use, l:42zJ
l2:I615. 1t was a pretty mile and the
announcement of the time was re-
ceived with applause. Starr did not
expect to reduce the record much, but
said the owner, Dan Leather, of Lex
! ington, would be pleased TO lower the
mark half second. The colt Will go
again next Tuesday.
An hour after his first attempt,
Starr came out with the little stallion
Direct for another race against his
:O6 mark. The driver went out to
90 faster to the half mile and paced
the fret quarter in 31L, the second
, quarter in 313I seconds, going the
| half mile I'm ! :03. He paced the sec
ond half In the same time, going To
the third quarter in 3254 and finishing
the quarter in BIZ seconds. Many
watches showed 2:O516 and 2:0554, but
the official timers made the record
2:06, equalling the worlds record
made by Direct in the East. Presi-
dent Shippe announced that no other
horse ever made two such miles in q
day and that Direct never before
equalled it. Mr.. salisbury said he
would start the horse again next
Tuesday and keep him at 1t until he
beats 2:06.

The Ceiling TumbIed.

Several wears ago McEwen & Dale
had the ceiling of their store ceiled
and papered. The ceiling had pre-
viously been plsstered, aud in put
ting on the ceiling the plastering was
allowed to remain. Last Monday
night about 10 o'clock, while some of
the clerks was resting from their
davis labor, they heard a noise over
head and were somewhat dunn
fuddledn to find the ceiling, in one
unbroken big sheet coming down up
on them. They crawled under the
counters, hid in the goods boxes and
disposed OF themselves with more
celebrity than dignity. to wait until
self. When they timidly peeped
from under their hiding places they
discovered that the ceiling bad rested
on the top of the shelves, and though
the interior of the store was some
what disfigured, the actual damage
was not as great as it appeared. Work
men were busy all the next day, and
bv Wednesday the house was ready
for business again.
We would give more of the details,
but Mr.. McEwen requested us to say
that he took special pleasure in ex-
planning the circumstance. That II
there was anything he did enjoy, it
was to tell the same story over aud
over again. We might remark that
this was the case with most old men
but let that pass. The first leisure
hour you have call upon Mr.. Nc
EW en- and he will explain in detail
the accident to you. He has referred
to his books and gotten all the neces-
sary data and information. He can
tell you when and why the ceiling
was put there, by whom, the sizes of
the nails used, the cause of the falling
and what would have prevented it..
He not only has the information at
hand, but he has the time and incli-
nation to crate on the subject. In
fact he is so enthused, he will very
probably engage a hall and give a
public discourse upon "What l Know
About Ceilings; on Hindsight VS.
Foresight"

Meeting of Columbia Banking Com
DanV Creditors.

Tn response to call from Lucius
Frierson, Assignee, published in the
HERALD last week, a large number OF
the depOsitOIs and creditors and their
representatives, met in the circuit
Court room last Monday. Mr.. Joseph
fowler was called to the chair and
Mr.. f. d. Lander made Secretary:
In taking the Chair MIR. fowler SAID
that he thought it proper to state at
this time, that OIL the Monday after
the failure of the bank, when Mr..
Frierson was approached to know IL
he would accept the Trusteeship, he
repIied that he would upon two con-
ditions. The first wes that it should
be rendered him by the almost unani-
nous voice of the creditors. The
second was that committee should
be appointed by the creditors and
from the creditors, to examine the
books; saying he wanted this done
for the protection of the creditors and
for his own protection. This meeting
now, Mr.. fowler said, is a business
meeting called for that purpose.
When the organization had been
completed Mr.. Frierson came into

MISS rs1MBLE's GERMAN.

Thanksgiving night Miss jamie
Trimble entertained quite q number
of her friends. The entertainment
besides being the first Of the season
was as recherche an affair as ever
took place in our city. The house
was beautifully decorated-the forest
and hot-house yielding their album
dance for the occasion. In every
available work and corner rare potted
plants and evergreens shone forth In
all their luXuriance. The sweet per-
funle Of violets was waited through
every apartment, and chrysanthe-
NUNS of every hue greeted the eye In
all directions. From the chandeliers
gay festoons of mistletoe warned the
unwary to beware.
The supper was all that mortal APP
petite could crave and served in that
elegant& yle that has marked similar
occasions in this well-known hospl-
table mansion.
The german favors were many and
unique, the souvenier cups and sau-
GERS being especially admired.
The beautiful figures of the german
were admirably led by Mr.. r. l.. Nc
Kinney and Miss Buena Allyn, the
Columbia String Band furnishing the
music.
The brilliantly lighted rooms and
the beautiful scene they presented
together with the beauty of the ladies
which was never more noticeable than
on this occasion, made the tout en-
semble a picture that will long re-
main on memOry's canvass.
