Tuesday of last week at Abbeville, before Judge J. C. Klugb, argu ments were made in the matter of application for receivership for the Oconee Knitting Mills, of which U. T. Jnynes was president and Jas. M. Moss secretary and treasurer. Some two months ago tho mills were re organized, their operation" having proved, during thc several years of their existence, a constant and heavy drain upon the pockets of those who furnished thc money on which to operate. The reorganization was completed, and about two months ago, under the name of the lletrlck Hosiery Mills, the new business was launched, and lt is hoped that, un der the management of men thor oughly conversant with the details of the hosiery manufacturing business. Ibo mills may yet be placed on a linn basis. Suit was Med about weeks ago in a case entitled Lee G. Hoi le m?n et al., plaintiffs, against Oconee Knitting Mill et al., defendants, ask ing that the mill be (dosed and sold. Thc order ol' Judge Klugh. after tho hearing at Abbeville, was that a bond of $10,000 be furnished or that C. U. I). Burns be appointed receiver for the mills. The order or the Court seems to be entirely satisfac tory to all parties. In compliance with the order lt. T. Jaynes, as president of tho Oconee Mill, furnished the required $10.000 bond, and the mills are operating without interruption. .lust what matters are at issue in the case we are unable to state. The giving of bond, however, will keep the mill running until the litigation in the case is ended, Hms 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 j the closing ol' the mills. All matters at issue will doubtless he settled through the Courts by Hit4 suit. Hy reason of the order issued nt Abbeville all creditors are requir ed to establish their claims and stockholders tim date, rank and amount of their stock on or before Thursday. October 28th, The mills are operating full time and the matters and contentions of all parties to the suit stand in statu quo pending further action by the Courts. The Road to Success has many obstructions, but none so desperate as poor health. Success to day demands health, but Klectric Hit ters ls the greatest health builder the world bas ever known, lt compels perfect action of stomach, liver, kid neys, bowels, purifies and enriches the blood, and tones and invigorates the whole system.

Public Meeting Held Yesterday Will Dring Good Results. Pursuant to notice, a goodly num ber of the people of Oconee met in the Court 1 louse on Tuesday last to consider the movement for the Im provement of the public roads. Capt. J. J. Balenger was chair man Of the melding. 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 tax-payer 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 lng to ?i change in the number of County Com missioners. The law already authorizes that the roads be measured, that the same be posted, and that finger boards b used to direct travelers. That each township be authorized tt> vote bonds for road improvement. There was no disposition to tax vehicles. The discussion on the report was lengthy and interesting. R. A. Thompson. d. H.

SINGLETON DEAD. l*i 'OH|M rims juid Rospoetcd Farmer i Pnased Away After Brief Illness. Last Thursday morning the citi zens of Walhalla and vicinity were i shocked by the news that James T. Singleton, a prosperous and highly respecied citizen und farmer, who re- i sided near Walhalla, had died at 12 o'clock Wednesday night. The cause of his death was pneumonia, and he i had been sick only five days. Very few, except his close neighbors, knew of his Illness, and consequently the ; news of his death came as a shock to those who had known and re spect*! him foi years. James Thaunan Singleton was born January 3ist. 1852, in Picketts county, at the old Singleton home stead, Daeusville township, his par ents being the late Thomas and 1 Nancy Singleton. In 187 1 he was happily married to Mrs. Malissa Looper, also of Pickens county, who, with two children, survives him. Thc I t i-lld ron are John L. Singleton and l Mri. Robert E. Lee, both of whom nj.,ide near Walhalla. He is also I survived by three brothers, John C. Singleton, of Forsyth county. Geor- I gin; Miles Singleton, of l'ickens I county, and W. 0. Singleton, of Wal- 1 halla. There are hosts of friends of ' the deceased in Oconee, Flehens, An- i derson and Greenville counties who < will learn of his death with deep sor. I row. i On Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock < funeral services were conducted nt ' Rocky Knoll Raptlst church by his i pastor. Rev. L. M. Lyda, alter which I the remains were lowered to their last resting place in tho cemetery near the church. In 'he presence of a ! larne concourse of sorrowing re la- i lives and friends. Mr. Singleton's re- ' mains were the Hist to be buried in thefftocky Knoll cemetery. Only a few weeks ago X r. Single- ; loi attended the reunion of his fam ily at the old homestead, and he was 1 instrumental in bringing about thc reunion. Ile seemed conscious even then that if the few remaining mem bers ol' the once large family were over to meet together an early as sembling was necessary. To that end he bent all his energy, and two weeks after the gathering he was called to his reward. Mr. Singleton joined the Baptist church in 1865 and was a consistent member ol' the Kock: Knoll church at the time of Ids death. Ile was a good citizen, honest and upright in all his dealings with Ids fellowmen, and will be missed by a wide circle of friends, and deeply mourned by his immediate family and numerous other relatives. To the bereaved ones goes out the sympathy of many. INSPECTION THROWS OCT MANV Re|>orts HltVc Keen Recently Receiv ed hy Commissioner Watson. (Columbia State.)
