Wednesday, January 3, 1906.
The legislature will convene
next Tuesday. The people aie
probably more interested in
knowing what the 1 iwmakers are
going to do with il'e liquor broblem
than in any other one question
that may come up. Wheth
cr the dispensary system will be
killed outright, a general prohibition
bill passed or the plan ol
local option adopted remains to
be seen.
The only copy of the Anderson
Daily Mail that we ever
saw is now before us. It is a
copy of last Saturday's issue,
and its contents are indeed a
revelation to us. We had no
idea that Anderson is a city of
such magnitude as the Mail represents
it to be. The Mai
gives an intensely interesting
history of Anders n's nro\vt:<
the past year, which shows
marvelous development alonir
all lines. In a later issue of The
News we sliall iej reduce some
of the Mail's facts and li^ures

January 1st, by Prosperous
Corporations to Their Num
erous Stockholders.
Lancaster, in common with
the balance oi the South, en
joyed an era of unexampled
pro-p* rity the p ist year. Good
crops and goo i prices have
placed farmers, merchants,
manufacturers, banker* an I, in
fact, ?11 classes in better shipe
than they h ?ve ever been be
foio.
This general prosperity was
rellecied Aloud ?\, the first da\
of the i ew year, in the handsome
div dends paid stockholders
by several of l.ancas ei's Hour
Lshiug corporations, as follows :
The U<tton Mills, Laucas
ter's mammoth industrial en
terprise, with a c?pi till stock of
one million dollars, and operating
74,184 spindles and 1,548
looms, paid it> usual semi- .nnual
dividend of 31 per cent.,
on both common and piefeired
stock. As is well known the
Lancaster nulls pay dividends
twice a year wiih the regulari'y
ol clock-work, never having
failed lo do so tven in tlio hard
3st ol years on the cotton mill
industry. The uniform and con
dnued success o' these mills is
