Too Eaqer For Work.

DR.. John S. Buist, the southern sur
geon, said In one of his surgical lee
lures at state college:
ut is always in rather bad taste for
a physician to boast Of being busy.
Physicians, undertakers and gravedig-
gers only cause discomfort when they
alude to good times and prosperity.
There was an old man applied to the
minister of the little village Of Paint
Rock for the post Of gravedlgger. His
references were good, and the minister
agreed to assign him to the church
yard. He was to be paid so much a
grave. The gravedigger haggled over
the price, finally accepting it.
"'But will l get steady work" he
demanded.
"'Steady work. said the minister.
Lands sake, man. with steady work
you'd bury all Paint Rock In week. "

Maunets For lroncIads,

The German naval authorities have
under consideration an invention for
the protection Of German coast har-
bors and seaports. Stations would
have to be erected along the coasts
and at the mouths of rivers which
would be equipped with the strongest
electric magnets that can be manufac-
tured When in action these would
exercise such a powerful attractive
force that they would comnel iron
clads to dcviatc from their course.

One of the company was given the
Washington room, and Hoyt received
q poor room on the top floor, the pro-
prietor not knowing who be was.
When he came downstairs later the
gentleman who had got the good room
said, "Mr. Hoyt. they have given me
the room that they used to give George
Washington when he came here"
"Well," said Hoyt, "the one they
have given me must be the one they
gave Benedict Arnold when he came"

BUSINESS MEMS MEETING.
Committee Appointed to Secure Data
in Regard to Municipal Lights.

AT tho last meeting of the, Busi-
ness Mems League several matters
were taken up and disposed of, but
the main question was that of dis
cussion in regard to an electric light
ing plant to be owned and operated
by and for the town. A committee
of three--R. T. Jaynes, Esq, j. w.
Shelor, ESQ. and George Seaborn.----
was appointed to secure data as to
services of an electrical engineer, es-
Inmates as to size and cost of plant.
ETC., and instructed to report back
10 the league as early as possible.
the committee announced that it
hoped to be able to report prelimi-
nary matters within two weeks.
BY rising vote the ladies of the
Civic Imp mprovement Association were
rendered the hearty thanks Of the
Business Mems League and the citi-
zens OF Walhalla for their valued as
sistance and hearty cooperation in
arranging for and carrying out the
picnic on August IA at the educa-
tonal rally. superintendent Hughs
reported that he had been greatly
gratlfied by the apparent stimulus
given to the weak rural schools as a
result OF the educational rally. There
nave been several schools that have
complied with the requirements that
enable them to secure aid from the
State for their schools. In some
cases this work has been ACCOMPLISH
ed by schools that had previously an
nounced their inability to raise the
money necessary to secure the State
aid.
An invitation was extended on be-
half Of the Business Mems League
TO the district meeting OF the In

FOR IMPROVING ROADS.
Public Meeting Held Yesterday viii
Bring Good Results.

Pursuant to notice, goodly num-
Der of the people Of Oconee met in
the Court House on Tuesday last to
consider the movement for the i'm
provement of the public roads.
Capt. J. j. Balenger was chair
man Of the meeting.
The report of the committee was
read and considered. The capitation
tax Of two dollars, or four days
work on the. roads, was agreed to.
This tax is to be expended in the
townships where the taxpayer re-
sides.
The plan for working the roads
for six or twelve days was not ad-
opted.
The plan that all bridges on large
streams be made of iron or steel was
adopted.
There was no action taken look
ing to 81 change in the number of
County Commissioners.
The law already authorizes that
the roads be measured, that the same
be posted, and that finger boards b.
used to direct travellers.
That each township be authorized
to vote bonds for road Improvement.
There was no disposition to tax
vehicles.
The discussion on the report was
lengthy and interesting.

NATTER OF THE O. *. MILLS.
$4,000 Bond Furnished and Mills
Continue to Operate Full Time.

Tuesday of last week at Abbeville,
before Judge j. c.. Klugh, argu-
ments were made in the matter Of
application for rcceivership for the
Oconee Knitting Mills, of which r.
L. Jaynes was president and Jas. Nj.
Moss secretary and treasurer. Some
two months ago the mills were re-
organized, their operation having
proved, during the several years of
their existence, a constant and heavy
drain upon the pockets of those who
lurnlShed the money on which to
operate. The reorganization was
completed, and about two months
ago, under the name Of the Hetrick
Hosiery Mills, the new business was
launched, and it is hoped that, un-
der the management of men thor
oughly conversant with the details of
the hosiery manufacturing business,
the mills may vet be placed on a
firm basis.
Suit was filed about two weeks
ago in case entitled Lee G. Holle-
man ct al, plaintiffs, against Oconee
Knitting Mill ct al, defendants. ask
ing that the mill be closed and sold.
The order of Judge Klugh. after the
hearing at Abbeville, was that a
bond of $4,000 be furnished or that
Z. K. ID. Burns be appointed receiver
for the mills. The order of the
Court seems to be entirely satisfac-
tory to all parties.
In compliance with the order r. n.
Jaynes, as president of the Oconee
Mill, furnished the required $4,000
bond, and the mills are operating
without interruption.
Just what matters are at issue in
the case we are unable to state. The
giving of bond, however, will keen
the mill running until the litigation
IN the case is ended, thus prevent
ing injury to the property by en-
forced idleneSS of machinery and the
loss OF operatives, who would have
been thrown out Of employment by
the closing of the pills.
All matters at issue will doubtless
be settled through the Courts by the
suit. BY reason of the order issued
al, Abbeville all creditors are requir-
ed to establish their claims and
stockholders the date, rank and
amount of their stock on or before
Thursday, October 28th.
The mills are operating full time
and the matters and contentious of
all parties to the suit stand in statu
quo pending further action by the
Courts.
