Graniteville Doings.

Ed. Registcr-Well. it is now in or,
der, after a yeas suspense, to correct
| ly state that a renewal of the lease OF
the Graniteville quarries has been Civ
en- the Syenite Granite company for a
term of ten years. When the news was
| dispatched here Saturday about
o'clock p. NJ. confirming the report,
it spread like wild fire, and in few
minutes every one you would meet,
would say, well, 1.-The company's got the
| lease;' guns were fired, and lots of
powder went up in smoke in divers
other way. Yells were given, hats
thrown in the air, and a greater amount
Of enthusiasm was manifested than the
result of the Minneapolis convention,
for, with us, the matter is of far more
Importance. In consequence Of the
good news that was heralded over he
town on that evening, on the event of
the company being awarded the lease.
our brass band that was re-Organized
last week under the dictatorship of
VIM. Dunstan, turned out and serenad-
ed Mr.. +. NJ. Smith, on his arrival
home from the city. After a few
choice serenades were discOursed, the
boys were called in for IL few moments
indulgence in fine drinks and choice
Havana cigars, after which they pro-
ceeded to the cOmpany's store where
few more selections We're disposed of to
the happy exultatiOn of the attaches of
that department. The band, though
like the s. e.. Co.. has been lying
dormant for the past eight or ten
mon yhs was not up to the mark as re-
CARDS what would be termed in the es-
timation of musical cOnnOisseur first
class music, but, now that they are full
" organized and mean business, aud
bright future to look forward to, it
will only be question of few eve
nings' practice to regain their former
standing. The company will proceed
at once To shaping matters preparatory
to doing extensive business, and, as
their facilities are all that are required
to do an extensive business in the gran
tie line, it is needless to say that the
sound of the hammer and chisel will
soon be heard making the usual old
time din, and already some ten or twelve
men have been put to work.
