Ivy M. Mauldin for
State Bank Examiner

The State of Pickens was still more
prominently placed on the map last week
when Governor Blease appointed Ivy NJ
Mauldin, cashier of the Plckens BANK
as state bank examiner.
Mr.. Mauldin was appointed Tor term
of four wears and succeeds B. }. Rhame,
who was appointed by Governor Ansel
in January of 1910 to fill out the unex-
pired term of Giles L. Wilson, who was
named as a national examiner. 1t IS
expected that the appointment will take
effect some time in April.
This is one of the best appointments
the governor has made, as Mr.: Mauldln
is not only eminently qualified Tor this
responsible position, butts popular al al
over the state. He will continue TO
make his home in Pickens.
Ivy M. Maafdin was born IN Plckens
county December II, 1875. He was a
member of the first graduating class at
Clemson college, standing high IN a
large class, and is now trustee OF that
institution. He studied law under the
late Col. C. L. Hollingsworth and was
admitted to the bar in 1896. Practlced1
law alone in. Pickens for some time, and
later with his brother, T. j. Mauldin;;
He volunteered his services to his
country during the Spanish.Amerlcan
war, and was made captain of company
81, !" I'd S. C. regiment, which went to
Cuba.
In 1902 he was married to Miss Vera
Eaton, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. L. K.
Eaton, of Central, and one bright daugh-
ter has come to bless their home: /.
Mr.. Mauldin was elected cashier OF
the Pickens Bank in 1904, succeeding
Mr.. j. McD. Bruce, who was elected
president, and has been cashier OF this
bank bank since that time.
His appointment as state bank exam
iner has delighted the people of this
county, not only out of county pride,
but because they know he is worthy;
James H. Craig, Of Anderson, has
been appointed assistant state bank ex-
aminer.

'ssS.lalMTTTEE WILL COUNT VOTES
WHEN CONTEST CLOSES MARCH q

not he transferred under any
circumstances or consideration
! whatever: Ifa contestant quits,
the votes obtained will merely
, remain in that contestants
name and the quitter will sim
plyllose all the time and trouble
expended and probably one OF
the three prizes, for no one con-
testant can have any definite
idea as to whether the chance OF
winning islarge.or small. There
fore, if a contestant quits, it is
apt to be the wron2 thing to 90.
IF entering the contest in the
first place was the right thing,
then quitting it any time is the
wrong thing.
In respect to that phase Of the
matter. the following lines from
the New York Sun are appro-
priately quoted:
The man who once most wisely SAID ,,
seBe sure you're right, then 60 ahead,
Might have added, this, to-wit: :,
te.Be sure you re wrong before you quit. ,
This is fine advice to a quitter
in any game, but especially so
to a person in this contest. :.
Figuratively speaking, jam it
in your pipe and smoke it.
Splendid New Feature
The Sentinel is beginning a
metropolitan feature this week
with the publication of the first
chapters of a great novel by
George Barr, McCutcheon, en-.
titled 'rheHollow of'Her Hand:
F this story were purchased in
book form. being a modern novel
OF class and dissin ction. it would
cost more than the price OF a
years subscription to The Sen
tinel. A subscriber to The Sen
tinel. therefore, is getting more
than his moneys worth in this
story alone, not to mention the
privilege of reading The Senti-
mel for year, so that the pub
lisner is now offering for one
dollar twice more than ever OF,
fered. .TheSentinel now has by
far the largest number of sub
scribers of any paper in the
county, and it's prosperity is en-
ablin5 the publisher to offer
special features Of unusual merit
and interest.
Contestants should call atten-
ton to this serial story when
talking to prospective subscrib-
ers, as it is a: most attractive
feature. The story is thrilling
from the very beginning. When
the first drapectic scene has
passed there follows a charming
loYe romance that grips the
heart-stnngs.
Anothe,: incentive for imme-
diate activity is that the nu nber
of votes given during the last
period Of the contest next week
will be smaller than the number
offered this week. The present
is therefore the profitable time
for active work.

Robbed Store, Shot.

Awhile man giving his name as Grady
Scruggs, of Bozeman, Mont, was shot
last Wednesday night after he had bro
ken into the store of W. R. Price, ten
miles above Pickens, and was attempt
ing to get away with some handker-
chiefs, tobacco and money he had taken
from the store. He was not seriously
hurt and is now in the Pickens county
Jail. He confessed and implicated three
other white men in the robbery, but all
of his story is not believed.
Sheriff Roark made little investiga-
ton of his own and found he had given
a wrong name, his real name being Fred
Benson, and he has been living arounc
Brevard, N. c., for some time.
