A glance over the live hank state ments published in this issue will show thal the banking houses repre sented by tho statements have a com bined deposit business of $805, .VII 12, while tho combined capital, assets and deposits foot up tho neat total of $ 1,270,338.63. A rout inned observation of these bank statements will convince any one that tho confidence in our bank ing institutions is growing, and also thal the realization of the banks' use fulness in the community is becoming more general. Tho gradual trend ls for increase of Ibo individual de posits In the banks and also an in creare In the number of depositors. And t ls a healthy sign. Tho banks reflect, to a large extent, 'the pros perity of the country. We Uko to see these great institutions of the county grow in financial strength, and we hope to seo tho time when every farmer in Oconee wiH have his surplus funds deposited in one of these banka. The old-time practice of hiding money about the house is dangerous and very inconvenient. If you are not a depositor in one of these five institutions go to the near est one and have a talk with the gentlemen in charge. There are hun dreds of advantages of the bank de jrosit over the hiding 'practice. Yesterday morning (April 15th) citizens of Walhalla awoke to view the Hine llidge range of mountains capped and covered with a good snow. Only the first range of moun tains presented the beautiful dew blue for which these oU' hills are famous, those further awa> present ing a glistening white background, the whole combining to make a mout beautiful picture. "The Commonwealth" is the name of a new weekly paper established at Florence. The editor and publisher is Rev. I,. I). Bass, who was at one time a prominent minister in the lower part of the State. After an ab sence of i number of years from the State he has returned to cast his lot with our people. We welcome the return of the reverend gentleman and the advent of "The Commonwealth." Those two California highwaymen who gol a combined sentence of 2 1 years for robbing a man and stealing from him r,o cents certainly wt. a lot for their money. But, then, it was all their poor vii tim had. If the unfortunate had carried with him $21.000 and the robbers had gotten that, maybe their sentence would have been 60 days. Things have gol to be equalized somehow, you know. On Tuesday ol* last week The Co lumbia Record issued ono of the handsomest special editions ever put ont by a newspaper in South Caro lina, lt portrayed admirably the advantages offered by the city of Co lumbia and the State at large. The Record may justly congratulate Itself upon having accomplished a journal istic feat In which any live, wide awake newspaper might take meat pride. A Richland county jury recently awarded the plaintiff in a snit against Tho Slate (newspaper) damages in the sum of $20.(ino for alleged in jury through certain publications in regard to a local election. Last week this verdict was reduced by Circuit Judge lo $:..oou. We have been un able to discover any ground for tho bringing of tho suit, much less for tho awarding of d images. There is too great n tendency these days to hind and gag tho press. We have never had t'ne pleasure of meeting Dr. S. C. Mitchell, president of South Carolina University, who is to leave this State to take up tho presidency of the .Medical College of Virginia. And yet wo feel that we know lum. for a man who does things and accomplishes great, ends is known far beyond tho circle of his acquaintances; and Dr. Mitchell has done much and accomplished much. iNot only will ibo University of South Carolina sustain great loss in his removal to another institution of barning, but South Carolina will lose heavily In his removal from the State. We view his resignation as a distinct misfortune to South Caro lina. Widow of Bishop Haygood Dead. Decatur. Ca., April 14.-Mrs. Mary Yarborough Haygood, aged 74, wid ow of the late IMshop Attlcus 0.
