In u statement publishod by the NewfTund Courior u few tlnya a^o, it was shown that 011 the 1st day of last July tboro was wore than $J(.),OUO,000 un deposit in the 13(5 banks incorporated in South Carolina. Q lib is a striking exhibit of tho resources ami tiuaucial condition of the State. Tho State also gathers some very i interesting data from the baukers ot ! tho state showing thu condition ol finanCea on Nov. 1. Tho following letter appeared in tho State from Pickens: "Pickous, Nov. 1. vienticiuen; in reply to yours oi1 I9tb, am glad to say tliut this scctiuu of tho county is in a prosperous condition?farmers making good crops, cotton, corn and bay. Cotton i? j turning out ?\ell, and id being rapidly gathered and sold and debts liquidated. Cotton samples above the average, and corn was never butter. Finest crops of bay ever produced in this section (peaviue and grass). irrices suusiueiory on a:i iarui products. Some complaints (if "low water.'' \ Some wells have failed that never failed before. "Dry and dusty" is the cry. liesuectfully, W. T. McFall, Pres. Bank ot Pickens. Try and look pleasant, even if you did lose. % The President of the United Stales has set nsiclo Thursday, November 24th, fin a day for general Thankagivjog lor Americans at home and abroad. There are always election exports that can tell you just how every candidate will run uud how every Statu will go. They always manage to wait until complete election returns are in and then with a sarcastic wmile say, ''I told you so." One of Hoyfc Hayes' leudiu^ attorneys in Oconee says that Hayes will oat bis Thanksgiving dinner at home. Judging from tho talk of some of the Oconeo people, Hayes may have to ^ oat his Thanksgiving turkey ou the run and without dressing. The most successful effort at aerial navigation yet mado came off in St. Louis one day the pust week. The air ship wont to a height of 4000 fee! and turned and came back and set. tied within 100 foet of the starting point. But for an eight mile wind that was blowing, it is claimed that tho air ship would have settled on tho very platform from which it arose. lhp South Carolina btato Association of Itural Carriers was organized, about nix mouth3 ag > and Ims been acceptcd as a member of the National Association. The next State meet ing will bo hold in Columbia on No vembor 24 Every rural carrier in the State is urged to bo present at this meeting. Every ell'urt will be mode ut the next session of Congress to havo the pay of carriers increased. For <tr\cticulai'H, address J>.vniel C. Hayden, State President, Orangeburg, S. C. Ex-Mayor McCuc, of Charlotlusvillo, Vft , who was charged with the killing of It in wife, hn? boon convictcd and sentenced to ho hanged. About I the next important (juostion tlmt ariaes in connection with the case in the disposition of $83,000 life insurance of tho murderer. If u portion of this insurance could only bo collected And placed in tho hands of a bovy of smart lawyers thero should bo no occasion for McCue's having in hnmn." Thf) directors of tho StJito Fair will likoly ask tho str.to legislature at its next Bession for 000. Tho claim will bo based npon tlio fact that the State Fair is intended to benefit the farming olass of tho pto|>lo of the State, and as there whs a surplus of $40 ,000 left over at CleniHon from tlx fertilizer tax last year, that the direc tors should ho allowed to draw upon that fund. If tho .State Fair i? run in tho intoront of tho farmers, then tho $30,000 should be allowed from the fertilizer tax that now goea to I dem son, for the farmors of the State! MitattaJU I 7 Presidential Election. I PickonH hud xo**M??iit election mcwr j Horviuo liiht ni^'M C ituicction was . j nindu with The CJruuisvilU* Nmv?ll oQice, through tho Postal rolegrnph Co., and dispatches euuie every 1" or 15 minutes. Pickens Drug Co. was hendquurtors, and quite u crowd assembled to to hoar the news. The first messnge caiuo about. 7:30 u'id rend, "Baltimore, Parker, 4,9G4, lioosovolt, 4,410" Ton minutes Inter a bulletin camo from Greater New Vorlc, "Parker,! 78,000; Roosevelt, 71,000." It look-! ed as if theee wero merely straws,): fallowing which way tho wind was' blowing, and tho crowd begun to j liven up, uud quite n number felt; satisfied that Parker was "it" all tlio time, and ho expressed themselves. I Of course the eyes of all were! turned to New York. Soon a mes-jj sage came, reading soni'thing like| this: "Roosevelt leads hy 228,000; | the election of Higgins, Republican, j conceded." Immediately interest in the Prosi- j* dential el< clioti began to wane, ami the crowd hc-gun to clamor for "Walker-Speegle" news from Greenville, which was never received, though numerous efforts were nmde to obtain it. "Parker carries solid Sooth. 1f> ulectornl votes; -Roosevelt roc . ts 254 electoral votes." It jvist takes 239 votes to fleet, so this last message sent the crowd home to "Iioosv'" dreams, but they didn't dream nliout "niggors." Of coui'BO it is posbiblo that com plote returns may change Home of the states, but it seems to be a settle! fact that Roosevelt is elected.
