Frederick E.'.Bach, special agent of the postoffiee department, spent several days here last week investigating the roads, the postofflces, ihe star routes and the population ia this vicinity with the view of makiog a test of the Winusboro postoffiee for thc= rural free delivery service. Mr. Bsch was assisted in his invesiiguiions by Postmaster Preston Rion and Mr. David E. McDowell. Tin result of his investigation is ihat the special agent has made a report, favorably recommending the establishment of one route, to be served daily, exceptCrin/?ATrfi Q rt/1 nth**** llrtlli'lflVfl- With AUg UUUUOJO MUU VkUVl I|V?*V.WJ VJ David E. McDowell as rural carrier. The rural carrier give3 bond with two sureties for $4,500 and receives $400 a year for his services. The route as proposed at tnis place by special agent Bach is as follows: It will leave the postoffice at 7.30 a m. and go south by way of the Fairfinkl Cotton Miils, and leaving I he ma;!: there for the mill and its com inanity, will continue southward on the Co lambia road 1 mi;e; thence west II mile to Robertson's corner; south 1& j miles to W. R. Doty & Oo.'s Weston i place; thence southeast to DJlenfty't corner; northeast half mile to Steadman's; south half mile to Mrs. R. D. Bolick's; west by way ofRioupostofflce to the Wiansboro Granite Company's office; returning about 1} miles take the soathbound road at the Rev. Mr Mahon's place; 6oathwest passing M. W. Doty's farms about 3 miles to the D. G. Raff corner; northwest aboat 4 miles on the Coinmhia and f^hftsfer road to the Glenn Bridge road, near R. Y. Lemmon's place; northeast about half mile; thence east half mile so as to take in Yarborongh's mill; north hfelf mile by way of Brown's mill to the Glenn Bridge road; northeast on that road about five miles to the postoffice in this town. Total distance 23.miles; area covered 28 square miles; farms 103; families more than 200; population over 1,0C0. As a consequence of this service, Rion postoffice will probably be discrjtinned. Its business depends almost wholly upon the "Winnsboro Granite Company and their mail wili j all Jje carried from Winnsboro.

The star route from Jenning's postoffice, which now comes to Rockton by way of Horeb and Ition will be changed to as to omitRion. It will be shortened from 124 miles to 9 miles.

One of the most interesting old colonial houses in these parts is the residence of Mr. Thos. Anderson on Little Rivar. Mr. Anderson's family is the fourth generation to ocoapy lbis handsome old place which was settled over a hundred and ten vears aso. The commodious dwelling, built of brick and stock, is in a fine state of preser- j vation, the plastering with handsome ceiling decorations has scarcely a crack, except that caused by the earthquake .in 1886, and everywhere there are evidences of wealth with refinement and eapicity to enjoy it by those who have lived there. From a small court in the rear of the dwelling the ground slopes away precipitously to a creek. Built on the side of this slope is the garden in thre3 terraces, the walls of which are ten or twelves feet high, made of granite and beautifully draped with festoons of Eoglish ivy and trumpot vines. Oa thw upper terrace shrubbery and flowers are growing, the two lower being used for vegetables. These terraces represent the work of three genesati^s;- Mr. Anderson's great grand father having built the first; his grandfather the second, and his father the third. A fourth terrace has been made by the present occupant on the othe- side of the hlli, thus perpetuating th* work of his ancestors. A saciion of the wall of the first terrace is formed by a hoge granite boulder, the flit top of which is level with the (op of the wall. On this boulder, which forms the floor, stand* the smoke-house, built of hewn logs by the great grandfather over a century ago.. This smoke-house is used by Mr. Anderson to-day and the logs are as sound as when pat in the ?.^it_ wans. During the Revolutionary war Tarleton camped on the plantation and tbe great grandfather used to slip home at night to visit-his family, being very nearly captured on several occasions by the treachery of his fory neighbors. Iu 1863 a part of Shermaa'd army, detained by the rise in the river, camped near the hcnse, and Mr. Anderson, like his great grandfather, a rebel, who was at home on a short furlough, from his hiding place saw his barn and stables and gm-house set on fire, and also saw the Yankee soldiers crowding iit and ouk of (he house where his unprotected mother was. He was afterwards discovered auti captured.

Breakfasting at 6.45 o'clock Friday morning, the girls were prepared to make an early start. At 7.30 the whistle ot the engine was heard and those who were going on the trip, as well as tho?C ^ho were to remain at home, were assembled at the college gates as the iOD? line of cars pulled op. Soon there was a rnsh; each girl seemed to try to be the first passenger on beard: each seemed eager to "get ahead" of the other.

Mrs. O'Briiu deserves much praise for the manner in which the got up ! this delicious lunch. A. committee of ! teachers and girls kindly saw that every one was well served. An appaieuti'y inexhaustible supply of lemonade served to quench the tnirst, and more than supplied the place of a spring or well.
