AN INTERESTING OXiD PAPER. Copy of Courier Pated April 3, 1001. Receipt Dated AprU 20th, 1820. W. H. Simmons, of Rural Route No. 3, Westminster, handed us re cently two very interesting papers ono a receipt given his father, Chas. Simmons, in 1829, showing that "his noto for nine dollars and seventy cents sottled his account in full for 1828." The-papcr reads as follows: ".Rec'd April 20th, 1829, of Chas. Simmons, Jun., his note for nine dollars and soventy-ilvo cents, which settles his account for 1828. "S. 13. Lewers." Mr. Simmons is not sure nt what place this receipt was given, but thinks lt probable that Mr. Lowers was in business at Laurens. It was found among old popers belonging to his father while looking over tho packago recently. Among othor pa pers was also a copy of The Cou rier, dated April 3d, 1901, and it is quite interesting to look over it. We note in thc nows matters recorded tn that Issue The account of tho capture of Ag uinaldo, who was then giving the United States no small amount of trouble tn the Philippine Islands. There is also a very interesting article under the caption, "Is the British Empire Doomed?" This is a consideration of Britain's problems in regard to Ireland, written by Mi chael Davitt. A letter by W. A. Dickson, from the Anderson Mall, is also published, giving an account of "the honored dead at the Old Stone Church." "Southern Mills Hard Hit" is the heading of an article which shows that "troubles In China are depress ing the Southern cotton trade." lt is also noted that tho hotels at Toxaway are being improved'and the lakes stocked with Ash. Unrest in Russia ls recorded, with a number of attempts.on the life of the Czar. A blizzard in Texas ls noted, at tention being called especially to a four-inch snow at Quanah and a thermometer registry of 25 degroes at Texline on April 25th. John Hay, then U. S. Secretary of State, had just "issued a warrant for $100,000, for which tho United States received from Spain final ces sion of 'any and all islands of Phil ippine archipelago outside the line described in Art. 3 of tne treaty of pcaco with Spain'." Also among the nows of that limo was tho story or: tlio substitution of | u package of hrowu paper for $5,000 in currency that was shipped by ex press from the Bank of Columbia, S. C., to the Bank of Commerce, New York. Tho story closes with tho sig nificant statement: "Tho work is represented to have been clever and tile package hore no evidence of hav ing been tampered with. There is no indication that the Columbia bank is In any way connected with the substitution." The Oconeo Farmers' Alliance was called to meet April 13. A. H. Elli son was president and J. E. Pickett, secretary. IFrom the Belmont notes we take the following Item: "A. J. Hunter has sold his farm to Ed Callas and will cross the Rocky Mountains to Washington the last of the month." (Fall River, Mass., roported tem porary closing of cotton mills on account of stagnant texeilo condi tions. The return of John F. Craig to business circles of Walhalla was an nounced, he having severed his busi ness connections in Seneca, where he had been in business with his bro ther, C. L. Craig. The election and ordination of C. R. D. Burns, N. L. Fant and J. E. Crosby as deacons In the Walhalla Baptist church ls among the local church notes. Rev. D. W.
