On January 10 the Bank of Williamsburg held its first annnal meetr ing, theie being present a large majority of the stock-holders. The report of the year's business was most encouraging, showing a healthy and prosperous condition of affairs in every detail. The net earnings of the bank amounted to perct. of the 1 capital stock, and when it is cousid: ered that the capital stock is more than that of the second largest in the 1 showing made by this bank is 1 certainly one to be proud of.

It was decided to pay a dividend of six per cent of the earnings and pass the balance to surplus. The board of directors was un-( animously re-elected, with the addi-1 5 tion of Mr Epps, the popular 5 and efficient cashier.

i Persian Justice. Professor Williams Jackson tells in his "Persia Past and Present" some stories illustrating character in the land of Omar Khayyam. One is of a man who, suffering from in-, flamed eyes, went to a hoase doctor for treatment. The veterinary gave him some of the salve that he used on animals, and the man lost his eyesight. He then brought suit in court to recover damages.

The judge, after weighing the evidence i in the case, handed down his decii aion as follows: "There are no dam ages to be recovered. The man would never have gone to a veterinary if he had not been an ass!" MARTIN ANSEL IS NOW CHIEF EXECUTIVE.

Columbia, January tin Ansel was today inaugu- rated Governor of the South' Carolina in the hall of the House of Representatives, in the presj ence of the Senate and the House ar.d a large gathering of spectators, many ladies being among them. At uoon the Senate, headed by Lieutenant Governor Sloan, filed into the hall of the House and the Lieutenant Governor ascended the rostrum, where he was received by Speaker Whaley, who delivered to him the gavel. The lieutenant presi! ded over the inauguration ceremonies. A few minutes afterward, Governor elect Ansel, escorted by Governor Hey ward, entered the hall and proceeded to th rostrum, the whole gathering standing as he marched through the aisle.

The assembly being called to order, the oath of office was administered to Mr i Ansel. I The Governor then delivered his inaugural address, which was fodlowed with the closest attention and keen interest, especially his recommendations I concerning the dispensary. At the conclusion of the ad- dress the other State officers 1 were sworn in, including Ad- jutant General Boyd, who came down from Greenville last night He was supported to the Speaker's stand. He has surprised 3 everybody by his appearance, as the stroke of paralysis he suffered two weeks ago was feared by many to threaten his life. The lieutenant governor was sworn in after the other officers 1 and in the Senate chamber in- stead of the House of Representatives, at the conclusion of the joint session.

Governor Heyward sat on the right of Governor Ansel during I the delivery of the inaugural address and walked with him from the hall afterwards to the gov- ernor's office where he delivered i over the affairs of State to his successor. i A cold taken at this time of the year is generally hard to get rid of but it will not be able to withstand Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar.
