Ak fA, bb ~'A th bore hter,,,ed aut 19, 0h we4 to Sdrw a d *ater. There Was a 6 dfo to the to n U.w0adly rote A tle'was reaching to seze tho .udket tie entire top of the aw&y and fell in young lady with It. h waa-forty-fivo feet in depth, with five feet of water. At the time of the accident )r. Cham4n was sitting out on his 8" reading. He "dw his ughter start to the well with a bucket, and when he heard the noise caused by giving away of the well-house knew that somet had ha pened. One cann6the faCe'sfeellngs when .he reathed the scene of tl,e accident and glancing down tito the depths saw his daugh ter's perilloqs position. At'first he did not know whether she was killed or not by the fall. He asked her if she was much hurt. The answer came back that she did not think she was. harmed much. The rope, windlas and bucket were left intact, and Mr. Chapman next inquired if she felt able to be dr iwn up, or must some one go down for her. The brave young lady told her father to hurry up and carefully lower nid bucket and she unaided. This was lanting her feet in nd holding on to the ttie was safely lan ded on terra firma. She was shivering with cold, having been completely immersed in the icey water, but with this exception not the slightest harmed-the water having broken the force of the box on which she was carried down. Had the well been dry, she would have been seriously injured if not killed. After changing her clothes and lying down a short time Miss Mattie resumed her domestic du ties, as if she had not so recently taken that frightful parachute leap into the well and an immer sion in that chilling water. But Miss Mattie Chapman is a fair sample of our brave Southern girls, and especially those who live under the shadoy of the Blue Ridge in this Piedmont re gion, and which produces the finest women on earth.

The writer a few days since, spent a most 4lightful afternoon with Mr. Welborn, who has re cently buit a beautiful residence on his farm In the suburbs of Pickens, just beyond the cotton mill. -It is an fdoal location, and when the grounds are Improved it will be one of. the prettiest homes in-our Piedmont section. Water is carried into the house and lot from an ice-cold spring, by gravitation. Mr. Welborn telli us his father was the first farmer to use guano in Pickens county. It was put up in barrels and hauled from Anderson on a wagon. He put this fertilizer on a ten-acre field, from which he gathered nine bales of cotton, and which was considered a re imarkable yield in those days. The Farmers' Union in Pickens will erect a cotton warehouse near the mill, and have taken and option on the water from a spring on Mr. Welborn's land, from which water can be carried into the building, affording pro tection against fire..

Tho Atlanta Constitution said: -"The Traitor is better than The Clansman. As a dramatic story it is far more effective and everybody wants to see it. The play was an Instantaneous suiccess." The3 Atlanta Georgia-. said: "It receiv.. ed such a reception as is rarely giveni a stage production. The play' is full of ac tion and hence is intensely interesting, holding the attention of the audience and arousing them to outbursts of en thuslasm." The Ne-v Orleand papers are equally as enthusiastic. The Pilcayune said: 'It is a white man's story, painted in bold colors and with a fearless hand. It should meet with success in every section of the country." TFhe State said that It was a "howling success" and it is just the thing a great majority of the people want.
