V ' ft MM I < irn m JhHMMMMMBMMMMW?? THE BUSY SEASON. Activity in Bunking1 ami Financial Circle*. The banks .it Abbeville arc sharing |q the general prosperity of the country,ana the tieposit. hih! the business of the banks are most satisiactorv. The Impetus to the business of the country has given new life and actlvi. ty In banking circles, and at the annual meet lnjrs of these institutions which was held IaBl week, the officers made Interesting stateM ments, and at the election of Directors quit* a number of changes were made, because oi suit'or transfer of stocks, and the banks now K have separate directors, except In the case o A U \1nreo whnlsnn hnlh hnanls Thf I feeling between the banks is cordial, and the separation, or the election of different direc tors was the result of changes in the holdings of stock, which had been bought or sold. The Farmers Bank elected the following directors: W. H. Parker, A. \V. Smith, \V. C. McGowan, J. R. Blake. H. P. McGee, P. B, Speed, R. M. Haddon, Dr. F. E. Harrison, A. B. Morse. These directors elected Hon. \V\ H, Parker, President, and Mr. A. W. Smith, Vice-President. The Farmers Bank is on a boom, and has a much larger deposit than ever before in its history. Starting a few years ago under the ; ; Presidency of Mr. Parker, with less than S10,;v v . 000, and no deposits, t he capital stock has increased until the whole limit, S75.000, has been taken, and none of the authorized stock remains unsold. As is evidenced by the steady Increase of deposits it has grown in public favor until now its deposits have increased to ?80,000. With a paid up capital, economical management, and good business methods it has been enabled to pay a semi-annual dividend of four per cent., or eight per cent, per annum. The stock 36 no longe- hawked about the street and sold below ppr. There are ready buyers at par for all that is offered, and the officers of the bank have every reason for congratulation at their great success. Mr. Julius H. DuPre is cashier, assisted by Mr. Calvert Thomson, and their politeness and agreeable way of doing business have contributed to the prosperity of the bank. The National Bank stockholders elected directors as follows: J. Alien Smith, Ll W. White, W. Joel Smith. B. S. Barnwell, J. U. Edwards, J. C. Klugb, A. B. Morse. At a meeting of these directors Mr. J. Allen Smith was elected President, and Mr. B. S.Barnwell, Vice-President. The National Bank has ever been conservative and solid. It piles up a good reserve fond every year, ana in the past has paid to the shareholders three per cent, twice a year. At the recent meeting expenses were reduced, and it was resolved to pay hereafter at least eight per cent, per annum on the stock, besides laying by something as a reserve fund. The bank has a firm hold on the public confidence, and their customers are legion. Mr. Barnwel) is the cashier, with efficient assistants. Capt. Lyles and Lewis Perrln, wbo are always at the post of duty, ready and anxious to serve all who call. KINDNESS TO HORSES. - A Good Man In Merciful to His Beast. And so we write of Messrs. A. M. Hill & Sons. In cold wet weather they cover their dray horses with oil cloths to protect them ~>I" onmf nr cleat.. Onfl dflV lafit Week -we were at their stable, and they were putting on their two-horse team rubbers tbat cost six dollars. This act was prompted from two causes. It was mercy to tbe animals, and it was of financial advantage for the owners to protect their horses from tbe Inclement weather. The Messrs. Hill have so protected their animals for years, and although we have not ' heretofore made notice of their act, yet wbeuever we see the animals thus protected we feel like answering "I thank you." Tbe Messrs. Hill are up on all tbe horse matters, except in the use of the check rein. They still check their horses, but we think they will quit this form of cruelty. When men protect their animals from the weather, they will also protect them from the tortures of the check. There is not a more needless form of punishment than tbat which is inflicted by tbe elevation of tbe horses head from unnatural position. Besides the tortures thus inflicted tbe strength and power of tbe animal is lessened by checking -the bead out of its natural position. Tbe head really exercises no direct power in moving a vehicle, but no horse can exercise its lull power with its bead strained in an unnatural position. The check ought to be abolished. Its use is often wanton cruelty. Then let Mr. Hammond, who makes and sella more harness than anybody, leave ott the check. If he will let the check be an extra piece, which he will supply only on demand of cruel owners, be would do a kindness to man's gentlest, truest and most faltbful servant. Tbe horse, we believe, is the only domestic animal on which we knowingly and needlessly Inflict punishment. Again, every horse that is driven along our hlgbways should have tbe opportunity to at nnopu at roam ftf vatpp. As no man wants to get oat iu tbe mad to let the check down, li often occurs that horses are Dot only punished by tbe check, but are denied tbe privilege of satisfying tbelr thirst. In connection with this, we would suggest to road overseers, and County Commissioners, the propriety of making fords, instead of bridges, for little streams. We never cross a bridge over a little stream that we do not regret tbat our horse has not an opportunity to drink. Fords can usually be mnde for much less cost tban a bridge, and when a ford is well fixed it will last well-nigh forever. But bridges are dangerous and must be constantly repaired or rebuilt. Let us then have fords across little streams. If necessary, fill In tbe ford with rocks, and do an act of kindness for every thirsty horse tbat passes tbat way. Let bridges across little streams, and check reins for horses, be a thing of the past. WATER AND LIGHT. Probable Com!?Some Snggestlons to the People or Abbeville. The Remark is beard on our streets every day, "We ought to have water works" and "we hope to have water works soon," but unless we go to work right away and start the ball rolling and keep it moving we will never have water works. In order to bring the matter before the public I will ask you, Mr. Editor, to publish the following plan which I believe to be the most feasible "plan I see for raising the money to establish a first-class water and electric light system. This plan has the sanction of the best water and light experts ip the country. My idea is that we should not consider steam as the motive power at all, but transmit electricity from shoals Ave or six miles distant. The city of Anderson brings her power six miles and Elberton five miles. Electric power Is cheaper than steam and is permanent. I believe that the only way we can raise the money for a first-class plant Is to figure, say on a $40,000 plant, and the money to oe raised in the following manner: Form a private company and get subscriptions to the amount of S15.000, and Issue bonds for S25.00C, to bear 6 percent. Interest and bfeendoraed(not i6fcued) by the city of Abbeville. Let the bonds run for twenty years and provide for a sinking fund of S650 per year, which will pay them ott lu that time, if compounded at six per cent.,and this can be done by providing that the sinking fund be invested In the purchase of the bonds. I>t the city pay the interest and sinking fund out of the rentals she will owe for water aud lights. There should be a twenty year contract with the city for at least, fifty hydrants and fifty arc lights of 1200 candle power each, at a rental of 800 each for the hydrants and lights. It would figure out about as follows : Capital stock paid in 815,000 00 0 per cent, bonds endorsed by the city twenty years 25,000 00 Total invested $40,000 00 INCOME. Rental of -50 hydrants from city at $50 each .. $2,590 Oo Rental of 50 arc lights at $50eacn from city 2,500 00 Rentals for private water rents 1,800 00 Rentals from private lights 1,200 00 Total Income SS.000 00 OPERATING EXPENSES. Salaries of superintendent, dynamo men, machinists and line men $2,620 00 Lamps, carbons, oil, waste, etc 380 00 Interest on bonds 1,500 00 Sinking fund 050 00 Total.. $5,150 00 Total income as shown 18,000 00 XUlill un .MM tJfliJV w Net revenue S2.850 00 Thus we would have an Income of 82,850 on an investment of 815,000 besides paying into the sinking fund each year S650. This is a rough estimate and may be a little high. After getting the system well started one good man at 81,000 or 81,200 could look after the whole thing. i. It is possible that a good system of water and lights could be put in for 835,000. I will state that these estimates were made by a successful, practical Urm of electrical engineers at my request. By having a flrsujlass system of lights, besides having a well lighted town, we would be protected to a great degree from sneakthieves and night-prowlers and a line water system would lower th9 rate of Insurance, protect us from fire and give us indispensable conveniences.
