Tlio eleventh connus of tho United
States will bo taken din ing tho month of
Juno. Tho census enumerators will be
gin thei'work on Monday, Juno 2, and
will visit every house and ask question:;
concerning every person and every family
in tho Uniteti States. The questions
that will ho asked call for Hie naine of
every person residing in the United
States on .lune I, with their sex and age,
and whether white, Mack, mulatto,
quadroom, octoroon, or Chinese, .Japan
ese, or Indian. Inquiry will he made
also of evory poi son as to whether they
010 single, married, widowed, or divorced,
and, if married, whether married during
tho census year. The plaee of birth of
each person, and the place of birth of
the father and mother of each person,
will also be called for, as well as a slalo
ment as to the profession, traile, or occu
pation followed and tho number of
months uncinplovcd dining the census
year. For all persons 10 years of age or
ovor a return mm' be inaile by the enu
merator as to the number able to reati
and write, ami also the number who can
speak English. For those who cannot
speak English the particular language or
dialect spoken by the..! will bo ascer
tained. For children of school age,
also, tho number of months they attended
school will bo recorded by the census
enumerators. In the cuso of mothers an
inquiry will he inaile as to the number of
children they have bail, ami (ho number
of these children living tit the present
time. This inquiry is to be made of all
women who are or have been married, in
cluding all who are willows or have been
divorced. Foreign born males of adult,
agi?, that is, twenty-one years of age or
over, will be asked as to the number of
years they have been in the ( ini teil
States, and whether they arti nal io al i/.ed
or have taken out naturalization papers.
Of the beati of each family visited the
question will be asked as (o the number
of poisons in (he family, and whether
his home is owned or hired; also, if
owned, whether tllO home is free from
mortgage incuinhiance. If tho head of
the family is a fanner, similar inquiries
will be made concerning tho ownership
of the farm.
in addition to (hose questions, all of
which arc made mi the population sched
ule, the law under which the census is
taken makes provision fur special in
quiries concerning such of (he popula
tion as may be menially or physically
defective in any respect, that is, insane,
feeble-minded, deaf, blind or crippled,
or who may be temporarily disabled by
sickness, disease, or accident at the time
of tho enumerator's visit. Certain spe
cial inquiries w ill also ho made concern
ing inmates of prisons and reformatories
ami of charitable and benevolent institu
tions, besides this, a statement will be
called for concerning all persons who
have died during the census year, giving
their name, age, sex, occupation, and
cause of death.
This oflioinl conni of the people comes
but once in ten years, and every family
and every person should consider it to
be their duty to answer the questions of
the census enumerators willingly and
promptly, so thai d?duite and accurate
information may he gained concerning
the 0T>,?0O,(M)O people living within the
bounds of this grout country.
Many of the questions are decidedly
importinoti! and I lie government would
have great trouble in enforc.it g ils pen
alty of twenty dollar.-; lor each refusal to
answer; hulas the resid?s of the fads
asked for w ill ho of the greatest value in
tlie compilation of importan! statistics,
it will, perhaps, he as well to answer all
the questions as carefully as possible.
Ten years ago the census of this coun
ty was well nigh perfect, and it was
doubtless the same throughout the Stale.
Jt. is important that the statistics he cor
root in order thai they may he reliable
and useful. We believe that the enu
merators for Oconee county are compe
tent for the work committed to Ihem,
ami wo have t lie promise of the enumera
tion being well and correctly made.

We copy the following article from the
Greenville ?Vi ?'* :
"F.. 11. h*uHedge, Superintendent of
the United Slates Comi House and l'osi
Ollice in process of erection in ibis . ?ty, I
has been removed and William Ferry, I
of Feuilleton, has heeu appointed to the
pinco. The change goes into el?cci to
day, which happens lo he on Sunday, and
(lie act mil transfer of the oltlco will be
otTcoted to-morrow, Tho announcement
will be received with regret here, Mr.
Kullcdgc's appoinlnient having been re
cogni'/ed by ovorybodj as an appropriate
anil worthy one ami a recognition of
merit. The cliatlge is said to he the
Work of W. W. Kussel), the new up
point?e being from near Mr. Kussel I s
home, and il has Hie appearance of being
a particularly glaring Install?e of the
subjection of merit to party service as
qualification forolllco, under the present
Republican admin'isli'iiUim, There are
IIO charges against Mr. lint ledge, hut lie
lea Democrat hue ami tried, ami that
was enough, it would appear. His re
moval is the morca surprise because Io
was originally unpointed by the present
Secretary of the I reasury, Wimlom. A?
forwards, when a general removal of alisi
of SU poi intende ills of buildings on which
no work was going on Included Mr. Kill
letlge, the Secretary, w hen his attention
was called to the ease, re appointed Mr.
Kutledge. The new appointee. Win.
Ferry, isa brother of .las. Kerry, of ibis
city. He is a spinner by trade
ami many years ago started Hu- Feuille
ton Cotton Factory, of which he made a
failure. He is not an architect, it is
stateti by those who know, and has no
professional qualifications for the posi
lion of supervising architect of a govern
meni building. Mr. Kerry is, however,
a "dyed in the wool" Kepublicail, and it
is supposed thai his exp?rience as a mill
man is taken as an earnest of his ability
to supervise Ilio government work."
We coi reel .some of tllO OITOIS ill this
article. Mr. Ferry instead of being
from Feuilleton, is a resident ol W alhalla
ami has been for several years, and was
at one time postmaster hen- umici the
Arthur administration.
Again, Mr. Ferry has not been all the
(imo a "dyed in Hit- wool" Republican,
his name being on the roll of member
ship of the Walhalla Democratic Club,
ami at the last election he was a candi
date for Coi oner of OCOIICC County its a
Democrat, and ran subject to tho action
of the Democratic party in the primary
election. In Slate matters, pro bo))0 imit
ino, Mr. Ferry has of Inte learned to
nOilialc wild good Democrats.
Woir Sinke Alliance No. 44?.
Pursuant to call of tho President,
regular meeting of this Alliance was hold
on Saturday, tho 2-lth instant, on which
occasion there was largo attendance.
This Allianco has a membership of over
sixty strong, among whom aro included
tho most progressive and iniluential farm
ers in the community. Much good han
already been dono the farming interests
of this section of Oconco county, by the
adoption into general practice of greater
economy in living, and the awakened in
terest tudic&tod by the better preparatine
and cultivation of the soil, and the intro
duction of improved methods, A.c., all of
which aio chiefly attributable to the pre
sence of this Order in our midst. There
was much discussion at this meeting over
the lirst resolution set forth in the Con
stitution of the Stale Alliance as to what
was the proper construction of tlio same
in referoneo to polities in the Alliance.
The resolution reads: "To labor for the
education of tho aglioulturnl classes in
tho science of economical government, in
a strictly non-partisan spirit." This was
dually construed to mean that it should
not only bo the duty to understand what
constituted an economical State and
Federal (Joverninent, hut that it was also
the high prerogative of each Alliance
man to labor ami work all legitimate
means to secure its enjoyments. Accord
ingly the following preamble and resolu

Dkah Cm kiki: : We had some
days ago a pretty severe hail storm
and it was thought to be very dama- ' :
ging to crops, but a lew days after- ?'
ward one could scarcely detect iho 1
injury. '.
We are having too much rain for;
wheat. ,
Cotton and corn are looking very I
well.
Mr. S. X. Hughs is lionie fin* a
few days on a visit.
Brick, nails, Ac., lor Mr. K. I'.
Verner's new resilience arc coining
in and we hear the house is to go up
rapidly.
We have just returned from I'eu
dlelon, S. ('., where we, in company
with our family, have been spending
several days very pleasantly, visiting
relatives and friends. We inaile
our headquarters with Mr. II. I*. Sit -
ton, who now owns what was former
ly known as the Cornish place, the
same having once belonged to Mrs.
.lohn C Calhouii. I les id es the in
describable pleasure of beino with
our relatives, whom we allow our
selves the privilege of visiting onlv
once every few years, (berti was an
additional pleasure in the fact thai
We OCCUpictl the VO'i/ /lOWH once
occupied by the wife of our noted
statesman, .lohn C. Calhouii. We
congratulato Mr. Sillon on his suc
cess in securing this beautiful place,
which has been very much neglected
for several years. The buildings are
all somewhat dilapidated and the
once beautiful lawn had grown to be
a perfect wilderness, but knowing
Mr. Sillon to be a man of superior
laste as regards beauty, convenience
and durability, we expect w hen we
visit him again to lind him in pos
session of home surpassed by no
other in Pondleton.
Wo are under many obligations to
our friends in I'cndloton for their
kind invitations to he with them ami
WC are sorry we could not accept
them all.
I'endlelon is now on a genuine
boom, owing to the commencement
of work at the Agricultural College,
the successful operation of a bank,
the canning factory soon to be rt fitly
for business, ami ilio citizens are now
trying to get up subscribed cepilal
for the purpose of starling up a
newspaper. We also hoard some
tnlk of an oil mill which wo think
will ho tho next enterprise to bo ad
ded to tho list.
l'endleton can boast of as many
good business men as can be found
anywhere, and we aro glad, but not
surprised to know that this town,
wherein dwell so many who are near
and dear to us, is coming forward
with her share of permanent im
provements.
We noticed several barroom signs
hanging about tho streets, but du
ring our visit we ??mv no one who ftp
poured to be under the intluence of
whiskey, and wo hope tho patronage
of these infamous holes will grow
smaller and smaller until those wdio
keep them will be compelled to en
gage in some more respectable means
of earning a livelihood.
We extended our visit to Antun,
whoro we spoilt about seven years of
our life very pleasantly in the ser
vice of the l'endleton Manufacturing
Co. We found Col. . J. Sitton,
President, still in charge of tho fac
tory, and notwithstanding the fact
that he has added a great many im
provements in shape of new ma
chinery, large brick warehouses, &c,
since this was our home, everything
looks rinite natural and when there
we feel very much at home. Col.
Sitton Informed us that he has or
ders ahead for all the goods he can
make for several months, and indeed
we believe his goods aro always sold
boforo they an; made.
While at l'endleton we, in com
pany with a number of friends, also
visited l'Ori 11 ill, where still remain
a groat many relies of the honored
John 0. Calhoun. We supposi! your
readers are moro familiar with the
history ' ' Fort Mill than ourselves
and for this reason wo will not at
tempt to describe wdiat we saw.
However, wo Matter ourselves that
wo saw one thing which has been
placed on exhibition but a short
while, and that was a circular made
of otter skins sewed together like a
crazy quilt for the outside and lined
with coarse worsted and bound with
ribbon, which was once worn by
John ('. Clllhoun. We would advise
all our friends lo go to l'Ori Hill and
see the ohi place in its originality
and we feel sure they will not regret
their visit. Some convicts have al
ready arrived and are at work and
the old home will not look natura!

The Clciiison College.
The Hoard of Trustees of the
ClomsOII Agricultural College met at
Pendleton Tuesday evening and held
a long session which continued
through Wednesday. The Green
ville members of the Hoard returned
yesterday, and from them it was
learned that the session was a busy
and interesting one, resulting in the
disposition of a quantity of matters
of detail connected with the begin
ning of work on the college. All
the members of the Hoard were pre
sent except Col. I?. W. lOdwards.
Arrangements were made for
working the force of t wenty convicts
received at Port Hill a fow days
ago from the State Penitentiary.
Tin? convicts will be used in felling
timber, preparing the ground for the
buildings and doing other prelimi
nary work on the Port Hill estate.
They will bo worked under the direc
tion of the lO.xocutivo Committee,
Jas. Hall being the overseer in charge
of the gang.
A contract was awarded to Pool
& Company, of Newborry, for three
millions of brick to be manufactured
Oil the place and delivered at as
early a date as possible. Tbe con
tractors have their machinery all
ready and will begin work at once.
Tbe contract for sawing tho lum
ber to bo secured on the plantation
was awarded to Grillili & Company,
of P.asley, Piekcns county.
Po uce & Morgan, of Atlanta, wero
selected as architects for the new
buildings. The plans submitted to
the linn were examined in detail by
the Hoard and found to be satisfac
tory save in the matter of cost.
They were referred to tho designers
to see if the same results reached by
tin* plans submitted could not be
achieved at a less cost.
Steps were taken looking to the
location of ? station for the college
on the Air Line Hailroad. The sta
tion will be a distance of abolita
mile and a half from tbe college,
though its exact location was not
settled upon.
A landscape gardener from At

and submitted plans and a proposi
tion for laying off and einbolishing
the college grounds, lie estimated
that about 51(1 acres of space would
be required to properly dispose the
various college buildings. The plans
were taken under consideration.
It is expected that tho lirst work
will be done on the lOxperimeutal
Station and Laboratory buildings,
the intention being to have the sta

Have You Scon It ?
Seen what? The Now Davis ! It is
universally conceded to bo tllO finest
finished, best made, and handsomest sow
ing machine in the market. It is as much
superior to tho old-fashioned BOW tilg
machine, for doing all manner of work,
as tho telephone is in advance of tho ohi
tin speaking-tubo.
All declare it to be a model of beauty
and workmanship. The New High-Arm
Davis Sowing Machine embodies all the
latest improvements known to the trade.
