THURSDAY, OCT. 22, ??91 TERMS: DUE YEAR.$1 50 SIX MONTHS. 75 Hi A FAITHFUL GRAND JURY, Court convenes nest week and tho term of tho present Grand Jury will expire. These gentlemen havo looked- after the interests of tho County closely and have "earned tho thanks of tho people. They made some valuable recommendations in their last report, which, if acted upou, will prove of lasting good to tho County. They heartily endorsed the establish? ment of the Industrial School for girls at this place, saying: uWe would urge our Senator and Representatives in the Leg? islature to procure the passage of a bill authorizing a subscription in County and City bonds in amount sufficient to secure the location of said Institution in Ander? son." ? They emphasized the urgent need of the County for a now and better Court House and for a safer jail. They declared their purpose to have 'enforced the law prohibiting screens in barrooms, thus upholding the majesty of the law. They had a committeo of their number j appointed to examine the public offices, which was assisted by an expert, and their report will be read next week. They made some good suggestions as to the public roads and other matters. . The Grand Jurors have comprehended fully the duties devolving npon them and ?have dealt with them in a broad, manly und business-like way. We donbt not that they will re-affirm their position in .reference to these matters, and add such other recommendations as in their wis? dom may seem proper. We repeat that the Grand Jury have earned the thanks of the people for their 'fidelity in tbe discharge of their duties. THK STOCK SHOW AT FENDLETON. The Stock Shows of Pendleton have long been famous, and it was with pleasure that many heard that they had neon revived and were to be continued annually in the future, altera suspension of two or three years. In 1888 the Stock jShow; and Fair were excellent, and at ti acted a great deal of attention. Since then the shows have not been repeated - tuntil last week, and we h? ->e that they will r.ot be allowed to lapse again even for a.single year. ':. On last Thursday morning, in company with a friend and behind a good trotter, we set ont for Pendleton to see the sights ^at the Stock Show. There wa3 a goodly .number of Andersonians on the roai bound for the same destination, and the g colored band from this place, which went ?,to' furnish musio during the day, favored g some of the residents along the road with some of their best pieces. No one can travel the road from here to Pendleton without feeling that he is pass? ing through a prosperous [country. In x every direction we saw splendid fields of cotton and magnificent stretches of corn on the bottoms. Along the road may be seen pastures thickly swarded with Ber? muda grass (one of the best pasture -grasses grown and v?ell adapted to our soil and climate) on which fat cattle are grazing. The proportion of land devoted To cotton will hardly fail to attract the attention of the traveller, for the area planted in corn and other crops is insig . nificant, as compared to the cotton area. Many of the fields wore white with tha fleecy looks and pickers were busy gath? ering in the precious staple. We judge that from two-thirds to three-fourths cf the crop has beon harvested, and the > three or four gins we saw along the route seemed to be doing a good business. There are a number of handsome and ?^comfortable homes through this section, and with scarcely an exception beautiful hothouse flowers were tastily arranged around the~door-sr.eps and in the piazzas, _ while- the yards contained beautiful : flowers of differont varieties. Gardens, orchards and grape arbors surrounded the dwellings, and with the great cotton and corn fields as a buck-ground, tho conclusion seemed natural that these good people dwelt in a land that "flowed with milk and honey." We stopped at Pendleton Factory for s. few minutes and found everybody at work. The factory is situated on a bold little stream, 3 miles from Pendleton. Quite a striking picture is presented to tho.eye at this place?the factory with its. busy spindles, the mill and gin with their rambling rocks and humming saws, the quiet country store and the neat, white cottages of-the operatives, while the murmuring stream that turns the wheels furnishes a striking contrast to the roar ' of blazing furnaces and clouds of dirty smoke from burning coal that is lound at many of our factories. The scene is pic? turesque and one that the mind and eye delight to dwell upon. The home of Mr. Sitton, manager of \ the factory, is in a beautiful grove a little i farther up the read. We were told that *the factory is prospering under his mau . _ - agemont. About thirty bales of cotton is . consumed per day. We have a little digressed from our subject?tho Stock Show?but there are so many beautiful and interesting scenes and objects along this road that we thought some mention of them might be not uninteresting to our readers, especial? ly to those who, like tho writer, love the broad fields and beautiful forests of the country and the gentle brooks that peacefully "go on forever." On reaching the historical town of Pen? dleton we found the streets thronged with people, who were quietly making their way to the place of exhibit. This was on - Maj. A. T. Smythe's farm, and was about a mile west of Pendleton. "Vc joined the ? procession and soon reached tho place. A large crowd had assembled to seo the , stock and races, and before the day was over we suppose that about 1500 people? ^'jmeh, women and children, white and black?visited tho grounds. Tho situation was favorable for such an exhibition. The race course, which was about three ' eighths of a mile long, was in a nice meadow, enclosed on three sides by hills, where were trees enough to furnish am? ple shade for man and beast. From these elevations thousands of people might eas? ily have witnessed tho oxhibition of tho stock on tho track. The number of exhibits was not as irge as formerly, but tho various lopartments contained somo choice spec? imens, all of which attracted a full sharo >f attention and praise, though of course 'tho display of stock on the trade was the loading feature of the day. There were some splendid specimens of cotton and corn, and two immense wagon loads of choice hay on exhibition. Some of the oars of corn measured 15 inches. No wonder such sleek stock and fat cottlc and hogs may bo found in a cetrfitry where such corn and hay is grown. We have some specimens of the corn in our office, and not many people ever saw larger eara. Admirable order was observed, and the sight-soers spent the day in examining l?exhibits and watching the contests on rthe track and in pleasant conversation in groups scattered about at good points of observation, though here and there were pairs who sought quiet places to tell and | hear that old, old story. Col.' D. K. Norris and Messrs. O. A. I Bowen and B. Harris superintended tho I show and proved thomsolves skillful In such an undertaking. Blue and red ribbons (indicating first and second distinctions respectively) were awarded by tbe Judges in the several departments to tbe best and second best exhibits:, and below may be found a list of such awards: HOUSES AND MULES.

Tbe races gave rise to considerable ex? citement, and tbe successful contestants were greeted with lusty shouts by the spectators. As a rule, the driving was good and tho reins were bandied skillful? ly. No serious accidents happened, though two negro riders were thrown in the running race that completed the pro? gram of tbe day. Neither seemed much hurt, though the escape of one, who was thrown headlong over his horse's head, was marvelous. i A short intermission was given at about 1:30 o'clock for dinner aud we join? ed kind friends around a bountiful spread, after which the races were resum? ed and continued until about 5 o'clock. The people then scattered to their homes, and the general verdict was that the show had been a success, and that tbe day had been a pleasant one. The Pendleton section is famous, too, for its fair ladies and handsome men, and it was our good fortune to meet many of them while there. We willingly bear testimony to the truthfulness of the many complimentary remarks we have heard about them. A few words about the Pendleton Far? mers' Society, which manages tbe Stock Shows, will prove interesting. Tbe Socie? ty was organized in 1815, and tbe Consti-' tution declares, "The objects of the Socie? ty shall be the promotion and improve? ment of agricultural and rural affairs. Their attention shall be confined to these objects." The officers of the Society at its formation were: President, J. C. Griffin ; Vice-President, Josias D. Gail* liard; Secretary, Robert Anderson; Corresponding Secretary, Joseph Van Sbanklin. The Society met monthly and some of its members read essays on sub? jects bearing on tbe objects of the Society. We were shown a valuable pamphlet, printed in 1820, containing the Constitu? tion and Bye-Laws of the Society and containing also a number of essays on agricultural topics. The pamphlet is the property of Dr. P. H. E. Sloan, and is highly prized by him. Very soon after its formation tbe Society originated the Stock Shows and they have been contin? ued up to tbe present time. The officers of the Society at present aro as follows: President, Col. D. k. Norris; Secretary and Treasury, Mr. Geo. E. Taylor; Corresponding Secretary, Mr. 0. A. Bowen. The following consti? tute the Executive'Committee: m. m. Hunter, J. C. Stribling, H. S. Trescott, J. D. Smith and J. J. Sitton. Tbos. G. Clemson was a member of this Society, and in 18G6 a committee, of which be was Chairman, issued a circular ask? ing "for aid to found an institution for the diffusion of scientific knowledge." Thus it will be seen that for many years Mr. Clcmsou had cherished the bopo of having an Agricultural College founded in South Carolina, a hope which is now on the ove of fulfillment. Our thanks are due and hereby tender? ed the officers of the Society for their kindness in assisting the writer to pro ouro such facts as he needed on which to bti30 this report. J. K. H. Tho Commission which was appointed to examine sites and receive bids for tho location of the Industrial School for Wo? men has decided, says tho State, to make no recommendation of any place, but will make a full report to tbe Legislature of all information they have gathered in refer mco to the various localities, and will leave it to that body to name the piacc. That is as it should be. Our rep? resentatives will have an opportunity to put in some effective work for Anderson when the time comes to decide upon tbe location. The prize is a valuable one, and no efforts should be spared to secure it. It is thought that the following in? dustries will be suggested for tbe School: Stenography, typewriting, telegraphy, dressmaking, millinery, industrial draw? ing, including designing, architectural drawing, cooking, printing, housekeep? ing, etc. Of course there will be a literary department in tbe School. ? Taking tho whole land surface of the globo into consideration, there is, on an average, 224 half acres to each peiBon, Gen. W. II. F. Leo, second son of Gen. Robert E. Lee, died at bis homo "Ravens? worth," Fairfax County, Va., on last Thursday evening, aged 54 years. He was buried on Saturday in the prosenco of several hundred peoplo, many of whom were from the South and various portions of Virginia. Gen. Lee was a gallant sol? dier, and since the war has been farming. Ho represented his District in Congress a number of times. Governor Hill, of New York, is in At? lanta this week. He will deliver the ora? tion at the unveiling of the Grady monu? ment on Wednesday at noon. The Gov? ernor is greatly admired down here lor his staunch Democracy, but since th e re? cant happy event in Grover's family, the ex-President is just three ti. -es as popu? lar here as his old friend, Governor Hill. The Governor should get married, or he will stand no chance for the Presidency against Grover, wife and baby. The Methodists have had somo ri?ht stormy scones at the Ecumenical Coun? cil, and some of the members have shown hut I'ttle regard for parliamontary rules. There have been many excellent papers read by the members of tho Council and the discussions have been interesting. Quite a number of distinguished gentle? men have visited tho Conference, ono of whom was President Harrison, who made a speech that was frequently ap? plauded and elicited a good deal of laugh? ter. SpartAnbnrg's Factories. Spartanburg, S. C, October 1(5.? Spartanburg County leads the world, that is, the Southern world. The follow? ing are the figures of cotton spindles now in actual operation, or for tho placing of which the plant has begun. Clifton, 50, 000; Pacolet, now working, 26,400, build? ing, 34,600, total, 61,000; Enoree, 25.000 ; Spartan Mills, 30,000; D. E. Converse Co. addition to old mill, 5,000, total, 15,000; Whitney, 10,000; Fairmount, 5,000; Fin ferville, 5,000; Pelham, 5,000; Cowpeas, ,000; Arlington, 1,500; Valley Falls, 500; J. H. Cash, 15,000; grand total, 204,500. Estimating the consumption at about one-half bale to the spindle, the home consumption is about 100,000 bales. This is about two and one-half times tho pro? duction of the County. This means near? ly 56,000,000 in cotton mills in Spartan? burg County. Eight or ten years ago the difference between the Spartanburg and Charleston market was from 75 to 100 points. Now cotton brings as much on the streets of this city as it does on the coast. This is due directly to the local demand from tho mills. Not Cheaper Money, Bnt Better Men. An old woman I once knew in the Ten? nessee mountains expressed a great eco? nomic truth in these words: "Poor folks has poor ways." Too otten it is the poor? ness of their own ways, not the aggression of wealthy neighbors, which has plunged these folks into poverty. If a man spends a day in the harvest time in efforts to send a fool to the Legislature, or a knave to Congress, nhoula he complain if the laws the fools and knaves make add to his own taxes ? Who but he is to blame if the laws ostensibly made in his interest sim Sly shift the burden from one of bisshoul ers to the other ? If he stand all day in the public square spellbound by a tramp with an accordion, or, still worse, if he lounge about on the sawdust floor of a saloon, talking the vile stuff we agree to call "potitics," never reading a book, never thinking a thought above the level oil the sawdust floor, need he be surprised if his opinions do not meet with respect? It Is not cheaper money the farmer needs, but dearer men?men whose time 1b money and whose labor is worth the labor of other men; men who know how to do the best things in the best way, and can thereby do their part in alle viating industrial depression.? President D- S. Jordan, in the Forum. The Crash Was Awful. Fort Watne, Indiana, October 14.? A dispatch from Auburn reports an acci? dent to the B. 6c O. fast express, east bound, near Hicksville, Ohio. When the express was at a point not far from the station, where it is not scheduled to stop, in rounding a sharp curve on an embank ? ment twenty feet high, tho four rear cars, two sleepers, a passenger coach and Vice President King's private car, left the track and rolled down the embankment, turn? ing over twice in their descent to the bot? tom. The train was running at a speed of fifty miles an hour and the crash was aw? ful. Iu a moment tho air was hideous with the groans and shrieks of the injured passengers. Assistance came from the town almost immediately, and the work of rescue was begun. Two persons were killed, three wore seriously injured and several others were slightly injured in the wreck. ? Two sailing ships recently lay in the Mersey that had left Liverpool on the same day last year, and after voyages of thirty thousand miles for each returned to port at Liverpool almost side by side. They left on October 4 for Astoria, Or, and arrived there on March 1 or 2. having been in company with each other for a large portion of the voyage. They were in sight for forty days. Both captains had their wives on board, and during the forty days of proximity one of tho cap? tains and his wife enjoyed a Sunday din? ner on the other vessel, the compliment being returned on the following Sunday by the other captain. Both vessels left Astoria on April 8, hut this time one sail? ed for Dunkirk and the other for Havre. They loft these ports at nearly the same time, and entered the Mersey within hailing distance after a voyage of three hundred and forty-two days. ? Some mighty big nuggets of gold have been found in California receuty. One that weighs 203J ounces and is worth about $3,600 was found in the Ruby drift mine, above Forest City, Sierra county. It is eight inches in length by five in width, and varies in thickness from two to three inches. It is scalloped in places and has a beautiful bronze color. It Is the largest of the nuggets that has been found in recent years._ Notice of Annual Meeting.
