In the Court of Common Pleas for Newberry County, Judge Hudson, on Wednesday of last week, decided in the case of the Bank of Newberry that the Comptroller General in ordering the auditor to increase the re turns of the hanks acted with out the authority of law, and his act is therefore illegal and nugatory.

How to dress with the greatest taste is a problem which has interested the world since the time when man (and woman, too. for that matterl was limited, in making a se lection, to the choice of forest leaves.
