To Bust the Trust"

The dealers anC. loan agents are 60
ing to try and bust the trust
Russell Tracy, one of the heaviest
patronizers of the abstracters in The
county, yesterday announced his de-
cision to install at his loan Office a COM
rlete and reliable abstract Office, which
will be presided over by an expert alb
Stracter.
The supplies for the proposed new
office have been ordered by telegraph,
and will be rushed here at once. Mr..
Tracy will maintain the prices for abb
stracting maintained by the other abb
stracters in the county under The new
agreement, but he will allow all real
estate men doing a regular business
with him a discount of 25 per cent on
Hills paid on or before the 10th of each
month after the delivery of the work.
otheHs May Follow.
1t is rumored that two other local in
situations will follow Mr. Tracy's ex-
ample. The realty men declare they
will patroniZe the new offices. No COM
plant is made by the realty men
against the general run of the new
prices for abstracts. The trouble
hinge on the matter of treating GUS
| toners who have from one to five ab-
straets day made out by the abstract
ers in the same manner in which a Gus
toner is treated who has perhaps ar
abstract month fixed up.
Il believe man in my position ol
any legitimate real estate man in Salt
Lake has a right to a bigger discount
on abstract bills than has the individ-
ual who doesn't have an abstract made
out once month or once a year, fol
that matter" declared Mr.. Tracy yes
terday, in discussing the institution OF
his new office.
Il will give the dealers a IS per cent
discount, and I'll give the discount tc
any other business man who can SHOW
me that his business with my proposed
abstract office is large enough to war
rant it. / have thirty or forty abstracts
a month made out myself, and 1 dom,
propose to be treated with reference to
| discounts as the man who has one alb
strdct in all that time"
The announcement of Mr. Tracy's
intention to go into the abstractine
business was the principal subject dis
cussed by the real estate men of the
city at their weekly luncheon at the
Commercial club yesterday, and they
will unquestionably support the new
office.

Not Finished.

II we are to judge from the great work tina,
has been don during The past year in build
ing up such towns as Anderson. Greepville
and Spartanburg, these OWNS must be nn-
ished, and but little remains 70 be don In
these great, busy centres except keeping up
the gates and keeping ropes on the well
whirls. At Anderson. especially. all the
ground seems to be occupied, and there Is no
room for 9th r houses.
Not 80 IN Abbeyille. We did not finish the
town last year. There is still here much va
can't ground to be occupied. Vacant lots may
be bought by the acre. n corner lots by the
score are to be had on the most reasonable
terms and at the buyers price. Because
OF the prohitive prices labor n lots, the I'm
ished towns offer little inducements, while
Abbeville offers all that energy and capital
could be desired. We have 80 many valuable
places for building houses, and the demand
for houses is so great that Abbeville is now
perhaps the most attractive Of places for all
that goes to make prosperity. Did you say
that We are sleeping? II 80. all the better for
you, II you are wide awake an lave the

Glen had been left an orphan when
she was three years old. Her brother
Ralph, a bright boy five years older.
had been adopted by an old friend Of
his fathers, DR.. Lowery, a prominent
physician in New Orleans.
Ralph and Glen spent their child.

west, but when Ralph was Is his
guardian took him to Europe to be
educated as a physician
His Uncle Henry soon after left
the farm and moved to Washington.
Glen had fitted herself for a music
teacher, and now held the position of
vocal teacher in Chicago seminary
