On yester day a squad of hands began putting up telephone poles for a line from Mr. Taylor Petty’s to Pacolet. When the circuit is finished it will give ua direct communication with Gaffney, as a line from Gaffney reaches Mr. Petty’s near Corinth. Our people have been most liberal in placing the phones in their homes and by their energy and push, our rural telephone is an assured success. It is thought by September 1st the line will be fin ished. When this line is finished It will help your correspondent in gather ing up the news for The Ledger. Rev. J. W.

The recent statement that William Reiman, a jeweler, has had plans drawn for a revolving bouse at Bay- side, N. Y., caused much Interest In Chatham, N. J., because tbe late George Brace of Meyersville, near Chatham, invented a house of the re volving kind a long time ago. Wesley Bond of Chatham, one of the carpen ters employed on Its construction, said the other day: “Tbe house was swung ou s turn table, and the table was turned from the dining room. Brace was ingenious, and he combined the dining room tahh* with the wheel to turn tbe bouse around, so that be could use the wheel for a table at meal hours and for a wheel when he wanted to turn tbe house around. His idea was to face the front {>orcb and sleeping rooms to ward tbe breeze in summer and away from the winds in winter. “It waa a great success as far as that feature went, but Brace found it inconvenient. He would come borne somewhat overwrought at times, and Mrs. Brace when she heard him com ing would turn the bouse around. The rest of the night h£ would spend chas ing the front stoop. Finally he sent for me, and we plugged up the turn table. The bouse burned down s little while after that, and when Brace bu'R a new one there wasn’t any tr- npon the ways whereby the public welfare may be promoted through practical legislation. Born in Columbia, educated in the schools of Charleston and at the Uni versity of Virginia, Mr. Rhett began the practice of the law in Charleston. He met with success from the first. Particularly attentive to commercial law, ha soon became interested in business enterprise and development. The rehabilitation of an impaired bank having come into his field off effort, he devoted himself to tbe task with marked ability and eminent success, and from this essay he was led into banking as a profession. He became the head of one of the strongest banks in the state, and he has, for more than ten years, directed Its affairs not only profitably to the Institution but in the largest measure to the benefit of his community and of the entire state. Elected an alderman of the dty of Charles ton, he soon became rec ognized as an exponent of business methods in government and an advo cate of commercial development. He was called to the mayoralty practi cally by tbe unanimous voice of the business men of Charleston and, at foe conclusion of his four-year term, was re-elected without opposition. He has devoted himself to the promotion of better relations between the peo- i pie of Charleston and their neighbors In all parts of South Carolina, and < has endeavored In every way to make mutual the advantages and the re sources of the great port and the great i Interior region of the state.
