ALL BANKS AGREE TO CLOSE
But Stores Are Rather Slow About
Reaching the Same Conclusion.
"And With One Accord They Be-

Prospects are not extra bright for
a general observance Of Monday next
as a holiday in Columbia. The banks
will close and some of the stores have
indicated an intention to close a part
Of the day at least, but so far it has
been impossible to get a general
agreement from all to close ard in
view Of the fact that some of their
competitors viii not close at all it is
not improbable that there will he lit.
tie observance of the holiday here.
A representative Of The Herald
took a petition around yesterday, or
rather he started to take it around
but the work became so discouraging
that he soon gave up the task in de-
spair. This petition was to close all
or part Of the day. The banks read
lily agreed to close all of the day and
several of the merchants were ready
to agree to close pari OF the Gay.
However. others batly refused to sign
ct all, while others signed upon the
agreement that certain OF their COM
petitors would do likewise. Still
there were others who signed sat did

OLDESTP PERSON IN THE
STATE IS DEAD m
old MAURY COUNTY
VIOLET HARRISON WAS NEARLY
A HUNDRED AND TWENTY
FIVE YEARS OLD.
bonn BEFORE WAR OF 1872
Was Owned by Ira Hardison, Who
Moved to This State From North
Carolina Nearly Seventy Years Ago.
Lived on Same Place Ever Since.

Probably the oldest person in the
State died yesterday at Rock Springs,
and was buried in the negro grave
yard near that place. Her name was
Violet Hardison, an aged negress, who
according to authentic figures, must
have been nearing the century and a
quarter mark. That she was near
125 years old IL proven by the fact
that she was able to remember dis
tinctly events that occurred during
the administration Of George Wash
ington as President of the United
States.
She was born in North Carolina, and
removed to this State with her own
er, Ira Hardison, nearly 70 years ago.
Her parents were negroes who had
come direct from Africa into slavery
in this country. When the old ne
gress was only little child, she was
bought by Mr.. Hardison, who paid the
sum of 5000 for her. Several years
later he bought her husband, under
the hammer on the public square of
Columbia. For the negro he paid
$1,000, when he was in the prime OF
life. After the Civ,l war, when the
slaves were all set free, the old ne
gress and her husband continued to
live with Mr.. Hardison, still consid-
ering him their master, and never
thought Of receiving wages for their
work. At the time Of her death she
was still living on the farm owned by |
Mr.. Hardiscn before the Civil war.
She lived with her grandson, himself |
nearly fifty years old. Death was
caused by old age.
The old woman had a vast store OF
,ales of times "befo' de war;" which
she never lost an opportunity OF re-
ating to any one who desired to lis
en- to them. 1t was commonly be-
ieved among the negroes who lived
n that country that she was possess
ID of supernatural powers, especially
icing versed in fortune telling.

Mail Establishment.

The postomce and the express office
are being rushed to their full capac.
ity these days. with the anticipation
OF an even greater business through
the remainder Of the week. IN the
opinion of the heads of these Offices
the greatest volume Of business will
be done Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day.
The express company has put on
three extra clerks for the holiday
rush. but on account of a perverse
ruling of the postoflce department at
Washington, the mail clerks are not
allowed any extra help. However, the
regular clerks are doing extra work
every day to keep up with the rush.
The amount Of business done this
year in the postoffice is not as heavy
as that during the same period os
1908, but is about the same as that
during the week before Christmas OF
1909. There are two clerks in the reg
istry department, who are kept az
busy as bees dispatching the pack

mail. In the mailing depart
ment two more clerks are necessary

mess in this department compares
'avorably with that of several years
past.
At the express Office the business
lone is about the same as that for
he same period during the years OF
909 and 1908. Thursday, Friday and
are looked forward to by the
clerks as being the busiest three days
# the entire year.
There will be plenty of Santa

riends and relatives in other parts
4 the country. The things that are
DING through the postofice and ever
he express cars include everything

lift that can be thought of by loving

The main volume of business In the
egistered mail department is appar-
ntly jewelry, rings, buttons, pins
atches and everything else.
After Sunday has passed into his
Try, the clerks can take life easier
