A Bank at TownvllIe.
[Andersoa Mail, November 1871

[Andersoa Mail, November 1871
A bank is to be organized at
Townville, this county. 1t will have
capital of $4,000, and w. G. King,
who was formerly in business in An
derson as member of the firm of
King & Martin, will likely be the
cashier. Townville is in Fork town
ship, some ten miles from railroad,
but it is located in one of the best
and most prosperous farming Sec
tions of the county. Some time
ago Mr.. King conceived the idea
that bank would do we'll at Town
vile, and he began talking the mat
ter among his neighbors. The idea
took with them, and few days ago
Mr.. King began soliciting subscrip-
tions. He has met with very graft
flying success, and it is said now that
the new bank is practically a GER
tainty. Application will be made
within few days to the Secretary of
State for commission, and the
bank will probably be in op ration
early within the new year. Mr.. King
is successful young business man,
and there is no doubt that the bank
will do well under his management.
1t is said that the other officers have
not yet been selected. The bank at
Townville will be the fifth to be or
ganized in Anderson county during
this year.

Judge BIeckIey Severely Burned.

The following from the Atlanta
Constitution will be read with inter-
est by Judge Bleckley's relatives and
friends
Former Chief Justice Logan f..
Bleckley, of the Supreme Court, is
suffering severely as the result of
burns on the face and other parts of
the body received a few nights ago
at his home on Center street in
rather peculiar manner. Judge
Bleckley had a candle sitting near
the bed when the wind from an open
window carried the mosquito net
over the flame and it flashed up.
Judge Bleckley was was pretty badly
scorched, particularly on the right
side of his face, and his left hand,
and while he will recover within a
few days, he still suffers rather Sc.
verely from the effect of the unusual
accident. His many friends will be
glad to learn that the accident was
no more serious"

Our Mountain Parsonage Once More.

The friends who have so kindly
helped me with this much needed
work will be glad to know that every
dollar of the 5000 | proposed to
raise has been secured. At the re-
Cent Home Mission meeting in Oar
lissshon the ladies kindly gave me a

halla Circuit will come up to Con-

Plan to Hold Cotton.

New Orleans, November 1S.-Fol-
lowing the arrival of President Har-
vie Jordan, the Southern Cotton AS
sociation claims to have perfected
plans for the taking off the.market
of three million bales of cotton by
means of asseries of pledges which
the farmers will sign themselves,
stating their name and address and
the amount of cotton they will thus
hold.
The cotton held will not be sold
for less than fifteen cents pound.
A representative of the associa-
tion is to be sent into every one of
the S17 cotton production counties
of the cotton belt at once. When
the pledges are signed they will be
sent to the central office of the asso-
citation in Atlanta.
President Jordan says that half
of the crop has already been sold at
an average of ten cents and the
spinners must have all the remain
der.
He believes that fifteen cents for
the remainder is fair price and it
will only average the spinners 12a
cents, while they have based all
their calculations on fourteen cent
cotton.

Bushels OF Grain Rotting.

London, November 1S.-Ship owners
here are greatly alarmed over the situa-
tion in Southern Russia, where rioting
has been in progress for two weeks.
The entire winter trade of the Black sea
region has been disorganized as a result
of troubles, especially at Odessa. Mil
lions of bushels of grain lie rotting al
points inland with absolutely no oppor-
tunity of getting it to seaports. AS a
consequence of the poor outlook in that
section many ship owners are preparing
to send their vessels, which usually en-
ployed in the Mediterranean and Black
sea trade, TO America to take ADVANTAGE
of the heavy grain harvest in that
country.

Topeka, Kansas, November 49,
Governor Hoch has received letter
from James Weir Graydon, of London,
who fought on the Union side in the
civil war, which contains the suggestion
to build 1900 foot monument in the
geographical center Of the United States,
in commemoration of President Roose-
volts success in bringing about peace
between Russia and Japan. Governor
Hoch has discussed the matter with
several friends and it is expected that
soon the matter will be taken up by %
committee, with view of bringing tho
plan before the people of the United
States in some suitable form.

Tax on the Dogs.

Within the next two weeks Comp
troller General Jones will figure out
the amount of dog tax received by
the county treasurers and notify the
county superintendents of education
and the State Superintendent of Edu-
cation exactly how much to each
county. The law States that this
money must be distributed as other
school money, and it is presumed
that this means that each county re-
ceives its own share, and it is not
distributed according to enrolment
as is the dispensary money.
The Comptroller General is not yet
prepared to make an estimate on the
amount received, but the State Su-
perintendent of Education thinks
that it will run at least $4,000 this
year. Mr.. Martin states that the
school trustees in the country dis
tricts have been watching the returns
and have forced large number of
dog owners to make returns for their
canine pets. On the other hand the
Comptroller General has been deluged
with letters protesting against the
payment of the tax and there is a
promise of nice row between the
county auditors, the school trustees
and the owners of the dogs who do
not like the tax.
The money received from this
source, while greatly needed for new
buildings and other necessities, will
be but drop in the bucket TO the
amount lost by the voting out of the
dispensaries. Already nearly $4,000
has been lost from this source, as the
tax put on the dry counties by the
Brice act goes for the support of the
constabulary and not for the school
fund. This is the proposition that is
worrying the school officials and will
be seriously discussed at the session
of the Legislature.-Columbia Re-
cord, November 16.
The dog tax collected in Oconee
county up to November Is amounted
to $105.50.

Roosevelt on Insurance.

A Washington dispatch says that
the message which President Roose-
velt will send to Congress has been
completed and the proofs are now in
the Presidents hands for final re-
vision. The message is a little
longer than the annual message of
last year and greater variety of
subjects will be urged upon the at
tention of Congress. The principal
feature will be the discussion of the
railway rate question, but strong rec
concentrations in regard to Federal
control of life insurance companies
will also be made.
Mr.. Roosevelt has discussed the
insurance question several times with
Senator Dryden, of New Jersey, and
others who are conversant with the
subject, and it is expected that the
part of the message dealing with this
matter will be somewhat more ex-
tended than it was last year.

Legend of HeIfenStein

In former times there ,ruAed at Oh
mutt. in Moravia. a duke who allowed
himself when In anger to, do many
cruel things. One day Bruno, his fax
coner. came trembling before his mas
ter and announced to him trHt the finest
Of the falcons was dead. When the
duke heard this he flew into4a passion
and commanded his servants to. chas4
tise the man severely. Bruno. however.
succeeded in escaping the intended
punishment and hid himself in the
thick forest which extends from Oh
mutt to the oder valley. There he
lived by hunting and occupdedahmself
with charcoal burning.
1t happened one day thatlas EBrunoi
armed with bow and arrow andlbattlel
ak, was going through the forest he
suddenly heard the we'll known hunting
cry Of the duke He quickly hid him4
self behind an oak tree in order that
/ his master should not discover him. and
/ he saw 70 his horror that his masten
was pursued by n wild bison. Thd
duke would have lost his life II Brnnot
with his battleax, hadh not couragcous-
: ly attacked the furious animal and. giv-
en- 1t mortal wound. Deeply touched.
the duke thanked the deliverer of bis
life for his proved fidelity and bada
him ask any favor he pleased
Bruno did so. He asked to be all
lowed TO possess as much land as he
could encircle with the skin OF the dead
bison. smilingly the duke promised I'd
grant the request.
The falconer began to cut the skin
into small strips, and with them encir-
cled the whole hill upon which heihad
saved the princes life. The duke was
highly pleased with this proof OF Bris-
nos cleverness as well as courage,
made him a knight and put him In
a position Of honor at his court. Bruno
became dearer to his master every day
and rendered him many and great serv-
ices. In later times he built a castle
on the hill. which. in memory OF the
dukes dellverance. he called fHelfen-

Candle Plants.

Plants at the Cape Of Good Hope are
often rare and curious. There is one,
stunted and thorny, which. lighted at
the end when green, burns slowly and
steadily like wax candle. That is
why It is called the candle bush. On
the slopes Of some Of the hills grow
trees named euphorbia. They may
reach a height Of forty feet and stand
up stif and straight as II made OF met
al. Their branches are as severely
formal as the arms Of a. candelabra,
and the tree has on that account been
likened to the Jewish candlestick
carved on the famous arch Of Titus In
Rome, which pictures have made IA
miliar to every one. Travellers say that
they look quite uncanny when they ride
through a grove OF them at dusk.

A Little Old Story

There were once a little old man and
a little old woman. and they lived In
little old house on a little old farm.
They had a little old COW and little
old horse and little old dog and lit
tie old cat.
One day the little old man dug him a
load Of potatoes and started Off to the
little old town to sell them. The little
old woman took a little old bucket and
went out TO the little old barn to milk
the little old cow. But no sooner had
she begun her milking than the little old
COW picked up her little old feet and
kicked the little old woman over. She
was so badly hurt that she could not
get up, so she lay on the ground calling
TO the little old dog. ''rlpsy, Tlpsyl Oh,
Tipsyg'
The little old dog came and walked
around the little old woman and knew
not what TO do BY and by she began
saying: "Go for your master, Tipsyl
Go foRyour master. Tipsyw The little
old dog, who was sitting looking at her
with his little old tongue hanging out
OF his little old mouth, trotted or down
the road TO the little old town.
He found the little old man in a store.
where he had Just sold his potatoes and
was putting his little old pocketbooz in
his little old pocket
"Why, bless me, here's Tipsyw the
little old man cried when he saw the
little old dog.
Tipsy took the little old mans coat
edge between his teeth and pulled at it
"Tlpsy, Tlpsyl Is there anything wrong
at homer the little old man asked
him, and when the little old dog kept
on pulling the little old man ran oui
to the little old hitchlng rail, united the
little old horse, jumped In his little old
wagon and whipped up the little old
horse TO as fast a trot as he could
travel.
When he finally got to his little OLD
house he saw no little old woman any
where about, so he quickly drove bach
to the little old barn, and there sh'
lay. still groaning. on the ground.
The little old man picked up the littl'
old woman In his arms and carried he
into the little old house and laid her OF
the little old lounge Then they sent fo
the little old doctor. and he came In hi
little old buggy with his little old IN
gray horse and gave the little old wo
man a little old pill, so that she wa
soon well again.
But they all knew that II II had no
been for the little old dog the little ok
woman might never have got well, 81
they gave him the best there was in tn
house 70 eat But they sold that nttl
old COW TO the little old dairyman VIII
