THE FARMERS BANK.
Many Subscribers to the Capital
Stock on the Insta1lment Plan are
Seeking to Unload.

AS has been the case for the last year or two
at this season of the year, there is some talk
about the value of stock in the Farmers
Bank.
While the stock holders are satisfied, and
but little OF their holdings have changed
hands, yet the subscribers TO the capital stock
payable in installments, are seeking to trans.
fer their contracts.
In answer to recent advertisement OF q
buyer, who wants two shares, many offers TO
transfer obligations TO take stock have been
made.
AS many of the people at the village bough:
these contracts last Fall, there are not now so
many buyers, and those who buy now are
looking for contracts which can be bought at
discount.
The sellers are Of various kinds. Some ask
premium, large per cent, are holding for
par value OF the money which they have
paid in.
The lowest figure at which stock has been
sold, so far as we have heard has been S36.50
for a share on which two insta llments had
been paid. For other shares S37 so has been
asked. S35 has been offered for shares on
which two installments had been paid, but
this last offer was refused. Implicit faith
may be put IN the real value Of the stock.
The discount occurs only from two rea-
sons:
lst. Because of the inability OF many sub
scribers to the capital stock to carry out their
contract without loss to themselves.
2nd. Because of the scarcity of money, and
the large amount Of shares which are offered.
While the installtnent plan is most favorable
to many yet 1t Is true that men worth cap
ital as a rule, do not like the instaliment
plan, and prefer to buy paid-up stock.

WHISKEY AT ABBEVILLE.
DR.. p. B. Carwile FavOrs the Division
of the License Fees Between Town
and Comfy.

Hon. P. B. Carwile passed through the vii
lage last Monday on his way to Columbia. In
an interview with him he said that he was a
prohibitionist in principle, but If that meas
uIe could not be carried he proposed to make
an effort to put three-fourths OF the town IL
cense fees into the County Treasury. This
we hope that he will succeed in his effort.
That is better than high license High license
has no good effect whatever. But If we are TO
Of Abbeyille should reap the profit at the ex-
pense Of the county II d sufficient amount
Of the license fees are put into the hands OF
the County Treasurer. the profits arising from
the business Of destroying our citizens would
be divided.
The putting up Of 5000 as a conscience
soother will always be effective on a village
like this, but IL we do not get more than our

acceptably served this people in public office,

Board of County Commissioners last Friday.
preparatory to taking his final leave of US for
his new home at Clemson College.
For twenty years Mr.. DuPre has been an ef-
flcient and an acceptable officer IN this coun-

which heretofore were discharged by Mr.. Du-
Pre-. and we have no doubt that bis accuracy,
his ability, and his application TO business
will be appreciated by the people.

RnYius at Forced Sale.

Let buyers at official sales be on their
guard. 1t often occurs that there is a Pitfall
for unwary buyers at official sales. There
fore, let persons who contemplate buying
property at official sales, consult with their
lawyer. 1t is much better to consult lawyer
before buying than it is to be party TO
legal contest over the ownership Of property.
The man who buys unadvisedly may regret
the act.

The Cotton Crop.

AS far as can be assertained from talking to
the farmers it appears that the cotton crop
has been pretty we'll delivered. Though 1t
fine weather and the receipts to date are un.
usually large, yet the yield has not been very
great. We have heard of number of men
who last year made from six to eight bales to
the mule who have not made half so much
this season. We could name an excellent
farmer In Edgefleld county who made twelve
bales 10 the mule last year who only got
three this. But the price goes steadily down
all the same.
