The firm then went under the name

years.
Mr.. NJ. VI. Hunter has served Tor i
number of terms as Intendant of thu
town Of Pendleton, and gave universal
satisfaction. He has worked for the
upbuilding of the town, and has taker'
a great interest in the schools at tha,
place. He is one Of the most sub.
stantial business men in the :own,
and is also president of the Pepdleton

are no sources by which the germs OF

Mr.. Henry P. Sitton, dealer in fur
niturc at Pendlcton, has only been a.
that place for short while, but he
has built up a large trade, which
brings him in good returns. Mr.. Sit
ton has lived in and near Pendleton
all his life, though he has only been
in his present business since 1892.
Mr.. Sitton was born at PendletoA
in May, 1851. He is son of the late
John B. Sitton, a prominent and in
fuential business man, who left cor
siderable property at the time of his
death. He attended the old schools
at Pendleton, which at that time were
superior to any in the State, as the
very best teachers were employed.
Here henry Sitton spent his early
life, and when he became a young
man his father sent him to Atlanta to
attend business college, from which
he graduated with distinction, and
showed that he was thoroughly fitted
for the duties Of life.
From Atlanta he returned to Pen
dleton, and was connected with the
Pendleton Manufacturing Company,
when that mill was run by the bond
holders, for two years. When the
property was bought by his brother,
Mr.. 4. j. Sitton, Mr.. Sitton contln.
ued to work there for fifteen years.
After the death of his father, Mr.. Sit,
ton removed his family to Pendleton
and took charge Of his affairs. He
was appointed one of the executors =;

up the large estate OF his father, Joh2
B. Sitton.
Mr.. S;1ton's time is all taken III
now with his large business in Per-

BANK OF PENDLETON.

It is not vain assertion, when it is
said, that perhaps no bank in South
Carolina does more business for the
size of it's capital stock than the Bank
of Pendlcton. Since its organization
some years ago the volume Of business
has been gradually increasing. The
success Of this, however, is due to the
men who have managed the business
end of the bank affairs.
Mr.. J. J. Sitton, the efficient and
courteous cashier, has made remark
able success of every business with
which he has been connected. He
was born at Pcndleton, in 1854. All
Of his life has been spent in that
place, and he has done considerable
towards building up the town His
father, Mr.. j. B. Sitton, was a very
prominent business man, and the son
inherited the traits Of his father. He
attended the schools at Pendleton,
and when he was young man he en-.
tered his father business and showed
remarkable aptitude in. this undertak-
ing. Mr.. Sitton remained in the fur
niturc business until his father
death, but he had other enterprises on
foot all that time, which brought in
good returns. He has served for a:
number of terms as the Intendent OF
the town, and he has always worked
for the upbuilding Of the place which
was his home. During his terms Of
office the condition of the town was
on splendid footing, and he was
urged to serve on several other occa-
sions, but this he declined to do on
account of business interests.
When the Bank Of Pendleton was
organized, in 1889, Mr.. Sitton was
unanimously elected the cashier, and
has held that position ever since. He
has given perfect satisfaction, and as
long as he has been in Office there has
not come complaint Of any error OF
the affairs of the institution.
The bank was organized under a
State charter, with capital stock OF
SIS, 900, but in very short while it
was increased to 100000. Mr.. N. N.
Hunter was elected president, though
all the work was thrown on the
shoulders of the cashier. During the
year about $4,000 Of business is
transacted, and the line Of deposits is
equal to the capital stock, This
shows that the bank is very popular,
and besides that the people have con-
6dence in its management. Recently
large bank building has been erect
ed, and will show to advantage with
any similar institution in the State.
1t is provided with Gre-proof vaults
and time locks; perfectly secure
against fire and robbery.
The Bank of Pendleton stands high
in financial circles, and the men who
conduct the business affairs are known
to BE- perfectly reliable. Without a
bank, pcndleton would be far behind hi
the times. but this one fills the bil!ln
every respect.

The case was before the court Of CON.

The case is that of John L. johnson
vs.. Thomas Il. Crossan. This is known
as the State Line case, because it in
wolves the question OF the cunstitu-
tionality OF tho work done by tho State
Line Commission by which the limo
between this State and Pennsylvania is
called in question.
John L. johnson, the plaintiff, has
always believed himself to be a c;tiZen
OF Delaware, and has voted there. The
commission TO ascertain the line con-
sisted Of three gentlemen appointed
| from Pennsylvania and three from
Delaware. 1t is said that this com
mission did not contine itself to the
redetermining and permanent marking

the course 80 as to give to the State OF
Delaware point of land extending
southwark between the States of Della
ware and Maryland and awarding

a collector of taxes in tho township Of

proceeded to seize property of johnson,
and he, feeling himself wronged,
brought this suit, asking that an in

Of the taxes. Various points were
raised. Among others. 1t is alleged OF
