LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The local stock market stili continues to

and in consequence the trading at today's
meeting Of the exchange did not show any
Improvement In the volume of the business
done. There was not much Of significance
In the changes made In the quotations, az
there was but little disposition to trade. and
the figures remained about the same as
those Of yesterday.
The examination which has been made to
ascertain the value of the assets Of the
Bank Of Washington and Of the Central
Bank, with the view of carrying out the
plan OF merger which has been announced
to the stockholders of the Bank Of Wash

~ been issued. has resulted. II IL stated, in
finding that the book value OF the Bank OF
washington stock Is about $500 per share
and that Of the Central Bank 800 per
share.
In order to equalize these values It IL
proposed to pay to the stockholders Of tho
Bank OF Washington q cash dividend OF
about $40 per share. Owing to the fact
that the amount Of business done by the
Central Bank is twice that Of the Bank of
washington, 1t liz not proposed at this
time to increase the capital stock. but 1t
will be 100000. which ia, the combined
stock Of the two institutions as they are
now separately conducted.

posed to be familiar with the situation that
after the two banks are united the COM

agement, will make 1t possible to pay a

creased from $4,000 to 81 100000.

$3.50, 900 Appropriated for Teachers.

The Legislature of Tennessee has
just passed a bill giving to the Pea
body College for Teachers, at Nash
vile, the sum of two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. Appropria-
tions from other sources, notably one
from the Peabody Education Fund
of one million dollars, which had
been made, but depended upon the
appropriation just passed by the
State of Tennessee, make the total
already given more than a million
seven hundred thousand dollars
which will come to the college this
year. Assurances of other dona-
tions had been given, to be made as
soon as the college is permanently
and adequately endowed, which is
now practically accomplished. The
college will have handsome build
ings, new departments, additional
professors and promises to be one of
the greatest teachers colleges of the
country.

to be a thing pitied by your folks,

The people of Westminster are

of the Southern as affecting that
point, and after hearing the evidence
it is easy to see that the complaint is
a just one.
As the schedule now stands, w est
minister has only one northbound
passenger train in twenty.four hours,
none of the other passenger trains on
the main line stopping there for pas
sengers bound for local points. West

Importance and such treatment as it
is now receiving from the Southern

tion.
Westminster is entitled to better
passenger service and The News is of
the opinion that the grievance will
be remedied as soon as it is pre-
sented in it's true light to the Off
cials of the Southern. The service
which they are now getting is worse
than what they had dozen years
ago, and Westminster is on the main
line, too.-Greenville News.

Representative Staples, of Atchi.
son county, has offered resolution
in the Missouri Assembly setting
forth in detail the good qualities of
the Missouri mule, providing that
the State coat of arms be revived
and suggesting that instead of the
two bears now shown on the emblem
two Missouri mules be substituted.
Mr.. Staples points out that in the
past ten years the mule has won re-
nown on many battlefields and that
the animal has fully earned the dis
tinction proposed.

The State Senate on the 7th in.

record againat the State dispensary
by vote of 81 to 16, striking out
the enacting words of Senator Ray
sor's "puriication" bill. This vote
was surprise even to the local op-

expected to show majority of more

than bare majority of 1. The die

the way of explaining this vote by

Benyerdam Association which has

While visiting the president of this

interesting information about their
talent money. In the early part OF
1905 each member was given 26
cents during the year. One % cents
had been used 30 wisely that it had
increased to $500. Seventy dollars
had been sent into the treasurer.
This is to be divided and given to
she foreign, home and State mission
boards. They will also send a Christ

Andersen DIsirIe. Ml.slonary Institute.
The Anderson District Missionary

The Anderson District Missionary
Institute was held at the district
parsonage in Anderson February 8,
1907, Rev. j. s. Beasley, the presid-
ing elder, in the chair After devo-
tional exercises the president made
some Introductory remarks as to the
aim and purpose of the meeting.
Informal remarks were heard from
Walhalla, West End, Orrville, Will.
liamston and Bolton, ST. Johns,
Seneca and Pelzer.
The preachers from these charges
are confident of success in raising
the assessments in full this year on
the district.
Rev. H. B. Browne, presiding elder
of the Columbia district, aud one of
the conference missionary secreta-
ries, was called upon and made many
suggestions as to the spirit and me-
thod of handling the missionary en-
terprises. The assessments are TIE
minimum of achievement in the
work. AS an indication of growth
in llberality it was pointed out that
the Sumter district paid in 1905 as
much as the entire South Carolina
conference paid thirty years ago.
Some motions were made and car.
ried as follows: That the claims for
domestic missions be raised by March
! and the foreign by May 1. It was
decided also to conduct missionary
institutes over ths district during
the spring and fall months.
1t was resolved that the preachers
meeting of the Anderson district re-
quest the following laymen to make
missionary addresses at the discretion
of the presiding elder: r. T. Jaynes,
ID. w. Daniel, w. S. Morrison, Geo.
E. Prince, w. r. Osborne, A. G..
Latimer and Geo. w. Sullivan.
Every pastor present felt that this
year will be the best and that Ander-
son district will take its place at the
front in spiritual and benevolent en-
terprise. Much good was done and
the companionship of the brethren
was most delightful.
After the business of the institute
was transacted the members enjoyed
a wholesome and elegant dinner pre-
pared by Mrs. Beasley,-Anderson

Tillman does not rack up to the White

Well, Brother Latimer, the spbtreas-

as voting to sustain the dismissal of the
