GOOD LEGISLATION
AND APPOINTMENT

The creation of the office of In
spector of Weights and Measures,
and the selection Of Mr. H. A. Aber-
crombie as the man for the position,
by the Council at their meeting last
Tuesday night, are two actions of
that honored body The Times heart
lily endorses.
We dare say, that it means more
to the individual citizen and family i'll
dollars and cents than any measure
we nowcall to mind, for it guaran-
tees to each, the full value of their
dollars purchase, whether weighed
or measured. We may be little
strong, but we believe it will save
large family, in a years time, from
short weights, enough to pay their
taxes.
The erection of a city scale will
bring in a small revenue. to the city
as they expect to charge small fee
for what is weighed on it,
Again, the placing of Mr.. Aber
crombie in this position will meet
unanimous approval He is a man
of the highest sense of honor and
one who would never place the seal
of the city upon any measure or
scale that was not entitled to it. The
city has never had an officer who was
more willing to sacrifice his own life
for its honor or for the lives of its
citizenship, than Mr.. Henry Aber-
crombie Wherever duty called he
went and as an officer, to save other
lives, in the Walnut street shooting
he came near losing his own life
; when he lost his leg by bullet from
the deadly pistol in the hands of a
murderous negro. Let our citizens
approve this act by their thanks in
person. to the officials when they
meet them on the street.

Tomorrow the river will begin to

tanned to keep watch until the big

1t is said by those who have
watched the river for many years,
that the first rise is always the high

lier than those in the past,if this be
true, the high water fight has been
won and our planters can now turn

ADVERTISE
YOUR GOODS

Next week The Times hopes to
see its advertisers back in their old
places in the paper. 1t is true, we
can't blame them for taking out ads
in times Of high water or epidemics,
when trade is dead, but this is now
over and the people, as well as the
paper, expect to see them.
We dare say, there is no business
of city that suffers more in proper
ton in bad times than a newspaper,
for it's expenses are fixed expenses
and it is hard to reduce the cost OF
issue, especially in these times when
every kind of paper is advancing.
The town or city without news

give it a liberal support to keep it
live and growing. So Mr.. Merchant,
have your ads ready next week when
we call for them.

MAKES A FINE SHOWING
Union Savings & Deposit Bank, of
Jackson Earned 40 Per Cent.


The annual meeting of the stock
holders and directors of the Union
Savings & Deposit Bank was held
last evening and a magnificent show
ing made.
A summary of the business of the
past year showed that on S25,ooo
capital stock the bank places twelve
per cent to undivided profits and
pays an eight per cent dividend to
stockholders, equivalent to earnings
of twenty per cent.
The Union Savings & Deposit
Bank was organized for business on
the 1st of April, 1905. and during tbs
interveng period it has earned on a
SIS, 900 capital stock, the net sum of
$5,Ioz. There is not young bank
ing institution in the State that can
claim better showing.
Some changes were made in the
list of officers, Mr.. J. B. Stirling, a
prominent member of the Jackson
bar, being elected to presidency, a
position for which he is splendidly
equipped. Mr.. 0. ]. Waite was
named as vice president and Mr.. r.
F. Young as secretary and treasurer.
The board of directors is composed
of the following: J. B. Stirling, S. S.
Carter, John L. Gaddis, John Hart,
w. Q. Cole, Isidore Dreyfus, R. L.
Saunders, w. R. Wright, w. Baker,
Sivley. F. E. Gunter and o. J. Waite.
The Times, together with his many
friends, are proud to read of the
honor conferred on their former
townsman, Mr. J. B. Stirling, by the
stockholders and directors of the
Union Savings & Deposit Bank OF
Jackson, in their honoring him with
the presidency of the successful in
stitution.
Mr.. Stirling, under the able in
struction of Mr.. ames Robertshaw,
president of the Citizens Bank of
this city and who is recognized as
one of the best bankers of the State
today, received his first lessons in
the banking business as an employee
of the old Bank of Greenville and his
rapid rise and success, both as law
yer and banker, is a qualification to
his many friends here

The firm and immovab1e stand
taken by Councilman Vincent for the
creation of the office of city inspector
of weights and measures at the City
Council meeting last Tuesday night,
commends him to the citizens as a
representative who is watching and
contending for their interests. An
other good move made by this able
Councilmen was his exposure, some
time back, of the taking of the city's
water by the railroad company with
out their paying for it. Today rev.
enue from this source of nearly SIS
a month is paid into the city's treas
