Columbia Correspondence: "Governor
Blease has not pardoned or
paroled a convict to-day."
"Is it abusing Governor Blease
to say that since he has assumed
the office less than three years ago
he has pardoned or paroled,
which is the same thing, nine
hundred and twelve criminals,
aboout seven hundred of whom
were negroes?' '?Orangeburg Times
and Democrat.
We should say not. Au can
traire. we believe that Governor
Blease and his "friends" are immensely
proud of the Governor's
pardon record.
Many of our county friends have
been affected, more or less, by the
failure of W Gordon McCabe &
Company, the Charleston cotton
factors, who were adjudged bankrupt
last week. The latest reports
are that the bankrupt firm will
pay their creditors dollar for dollar,
and for the sake of all parties
concerned we sincerely hope
that this may be the outcome of
the matter.
Considerable excitement wa9 occasioned
Saturday at the Charleston
Hotel of Charleston by the
disappearance 01 a pacKage saiu 10
contain $4,100 in real money. A
former employee of the hotel is said
to have paid up $1,475, the key to
the safety box having been in his
eare. The affair smacks of mystery,
possibly growing out of race
track conditions that obtain at
present in the metropolis of our
State. _____________

THE HOLIDAY SEASON
; AT JOHNSONVILLE.
RURAL SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
ASSOCIATION ENTERTAINMENT-!
HOME COMING COLLEGIANS.
Johnsonville, January 7:?"What
, is the matter with the Yule-tide?"
as we so often read, does not appeal
to us at Johnsonville, where peace
and plenty,good order and happiness
1 prevail.
Our festivities began Friday evenj
ing when the Rural School Improve1
ment association, of this district,
entertained its friends.
Thp eaoacitv of the "Possum
Fork" school-house was taxed to
hold patrons and friends who gathered
to enjoy a series of drills,
tableaus, a lecture and a hot supper
of barbecue and turkey, followed
by a cake contest.
At 7:30, mistaking the evening
for Hallowe'en, twelve large bats
with transparent wings came fluttering
in, flew around the stage and
took their places, to the strains of a
bat march for the bat drill.
Santa Claus succeeded in redeeming
the evening when he blinded the
------ _
bats with flash lights and tripped in
himself, with a big "gobbler" on
his back, head down and feet around
neck, sent to Rev Mr Ingraham by
the 60 "Possum Fork" pupils.
Next?"Eclipse of the Sun" (son)
was followed by a most heavenly
scene?in which Miss Hudgins of
Baltimore posed for "Rock of Ages."
As a quartette of voices sang sweetly
that grand old hymn, flash lights
revealed the lovely form, robed in
soft white, with eyes heavenward,
embanked with rocks and mosses.
Rev Mr Ingraham was introduced
as speaker of the evening and beinv
well "wound ud" bv this time.
he made us a good speech in spite
of the fact that he kept his eye on
that gobbler.
This was all good, but,best of all,
when receipts were counted, we
had $80.00.
We have raised for library $40.00,
$75.00 for a nice organ,$30.00 for a
set of Johnson's improved rotary
maps, and a sufficient fund to run
school three months longer,with two
teachers on $50 and $35 salaries,
and pot a dollar came from the rich
man's purse.
Mr Editor, "no funds" is a poor
excuse for a teacher. There are a
thousand and one ways a teacher by
being tactful can supplement funds
and increase the school term. We
want working teachers, and compulsory
education. Approximately
1,900 more negroes in schools in
South Carolina than whites means
something.

\V M BG. A A NK'S ANND ALMEETING
Report of Cashier Shows Profitable
Year's Business.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Bank of Williamsburg
took place at the bank building
Saturday, January 10, at 3 j
o'clock p.m.,a majority of the share
holders being represented.
The report of the cashier at the
close of business Wednesday, Janua- j
ry 7, 1914, showed: Capital stock,
$92,400; undivided profits, $3,063.-;
41; deposits, $235,031.23; loans and
discounts,$207,085.67; cash on hand,
and in banks, $110,358.19.
Ir addition to the above showing i
a stock dividend of fifty per cent
was paid to each shareholder.
The past year's business was in
every respect satisfactory and the
bank enters upon a larger career of
usefulness with every confidence of
greater success and prosperity than
it has ever before enjoyed.
It was moved and ordered that
the amount remaining after paying
50 per cent dividend?something
over $3,000?be passed to surplus!
or undivided profits.
In view of the fact that the capital
of the bank has been increased
two directors were added to the
board, Messrs W V Strong and J M
Cook, making the entire list of directors
as follows: Messrs C W Stoll,
E C Epps, J F McFaddin, W I Nexsen,
F Rhem, P G Gourdin, W V
Strong and J M Cook.
The following resolutions were introduced
and unanimously carried:
Whereas, at a meeting of the
stockholders of the Bank of Williamsburg,
held on the 21st day of
November, 191H, the capital stock
was authorized to be increased to
$100,000, which in due form has
been accomplished,and that that the
question of converting the bank into
that of a National bank was deferred
for consideration by the stockholders
until their annual meeting; and,
Whereas,in the meantime the Currency
bill, known as the Federal Reserve
act, has become a law and by I
its provisions State banks with sufficient
capital are permitted to be-1
come members of the Federal Re- j
serve organization with practically'
the same privileges as National
banks,
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
directors of this bank are hereby!
authorized and directed to take such
steps as may be necessary to permit 1
this bank to become a member of I
the Federal Reserve bank,as soon as
the one for this district shall have j
been organized and its district des-1
ignated.
Resolved, further, that should the,
directors by a majority vote decide
that the interest of this bank could
be further advanced by nationalizing,
they are are hereby authorized j
and empowered to take such steps
1 as may be necessary to convert the :
j bank into a National bank at any;
! time during the year 1914.
j Immediately after the adjourn-1
ment of the stockholders' meeting
: the directors met and re-elected the 1
' same officers and attaches,as follows: j
C W Stoll, president; F Rhem, vice I
president; E C Epps, cashier: C W
lioswell .assistant cashier; Miss Eu- i

Mr R B Lyons Dead.
; I
Died, at the home of his brother-,
in-law, Mr Theodore J Simmons, in
Charleston, Saturday evening, January
3, 1914, Mr R B Lyons, aged
about 81 years.
Among those who attended the
funer-1, which took place in Charleston
Monday, were: Messrs Fred
Lesesne and Frank P Burgess of
this place.
The deceased was for a number
of years the proprietor of the Central
Hotel, and was well known and
highly regarded by the trayeling
public. He was ever, thoughtful of
the welfare of his guests, and the j
soul of honor; up to a few weeks \
ago, and until his health became im- !
paired, he. although not of robust
health, had the active management
of his hostelry, and with the help of
his excellent wife,they provided well
for their guests. Mr Lyons, realiz- j
ing his enfeebled condition, decided I
to retire from the hotel business,
and he purchased a home in this
town, where he and his wife would
live privately. The purchased property
was occupied by a tenant, and
while waiting for it to be vacated,
they visited relatives in Kingstree
and Charleston; while in the latter
city, Mr Lyons became ill, from
which he passed away. The deceased
was a Confederate soldier,a hightoned
and dutiful citizen. He had
many sincere friends in this town,
and, although he lived to a ripe old
age, his removal from this midst is
deplored.?Manning Times.
Mr Lyons was a brother-in-law of
Mrs M F Heller of Kingstree and
for several vears conducted a hotel
here. Hi3 friends here regret to
hear of his demise.
