McGill, lo Hartwell Sun.j Last week Ibu writor spent most hap pily iu tho County of Oconoo, South Car olina. Wo wero tho guest during our stay of tho families of Hon. M. B. Dendy, Richland, Mr. D. A. Perritt, Seneca, and Mr. .Jaayer Doyle, Bounty Land, whose hospitality was lavishly bestowed and heartily enjoyed. Through tho kindness of Mr. Doylo wo visited Walhalla and Fort Hill. It had been ?17 years sinco wo wero in Walhalla, and of course wo wero prepared to seo many changes. Walhalla is a beautiful town with overy evidence of thrift aud prosperity. Of courso wo visited tho old Koowoo Courier ollico. Tho Courier is not only ono of tho oldest newspapers in South Carolina, but ranks nniong the very best, lt has a "big four" in the persons of Messrs. Smith, .laynos, Sholor aud Stcek. Tho Courier ofiico is a lnrgo two story brick building-tho most con venient and admirably arranged of any in our knowledgo and tho best equipped. No paper nnywhero is moro neatly printed nor moro tasteful in its make-up. They ?lo a largo amount of job work. Mr. Smith, tho Senior member of tho firm, worked on tho first newspaper over published in Hartwell-The Mes senger-and listened very pationtly and attentively to us as we descanted upon thu growth and beauty of Hartwell uudor tho genial rays of latter-day "Sun" shine. Fort Hill was a revelation to us. Hero it is that Clemson Collego is located, and hero the old homo of South Carolina's groatest statesman now stands, jimt as it was when John C. Calhoun daily crossed its threshold. It was a grand home in that day, but presents an insignificant appearance beside the splendid brick collego, four-story dormit y, numerous halls, and modern residences. Our stay was short and wo havo only time to barely mention some of tho many inter esting things hero that attracted our at tention. This is an agricultural, techno logical and .military as well as literary school, mid is well equipped and we think one of tho most beautiful and picturesque spots that could well be imagined. We wore kindly allowed to visit tho dining room and kitchen by tho chief cook, Mr. Sohalattor, at tho dor mitory, and the Bavory odor of tho huge vessels of steaming food was very tantal izing 88 well ns appetizing. Just as a pointer wo will state that the coffee pot fias. a capacity of 7"> gallons! Visited tho steam laundry, where they wash and "do up" tho clothing of over DOO alu donts. They have a lingo dairy, a cheese factory,! all kinds of manufacturing, a laboratory, ehiekon pens, etc., and many other industries that wo did not have timo to inspect. A lino farm, orchards, vegetables and ilower gardens and green house which we found to bo vory at tractive and well worth visiting. Hut when you go you should stay a couple of days if you wish to tako in everything. Mr. Burns Gillison, who is well known in Hartwell, has charge of tho horticul tural department, and to him wo aro in debted for courtesies. On tho return to Soneoa wo took in tho "Old Steno Church," a truly historical sanctuary, which was erected by Presby terians in tho year 1707. It appears to have lapsed into disuse, but is in a fairly good stato of preservation, and would answer tho purposes for which it was built, with some necessary repairs. Tho cemetery at this place, around which has been recently built a substantial granito wall, is perhaps tho largest we nave seen in tho country. It is throo miles from Old Pendleton, a glimpBO of which wo cnught across tho valleys en route, lt was thoro wo spent our last school days and 'twas there that Cousin Jim was born-two of the many notable events for which historic Old Pondloton is remarkable. Many prominent poople in tho history of South Carolina aro buried at Old Stono Church, among them General Androw Pickons, whoso gravo is marked by a plain marblo slab. For him Pickons county was namod. Saw tho tombstone of B, B. Monson, who was tho grand father of our esteemed eiti/.on, E. B. Bonson. Thoro aro some boautiful nion uments in this homo of tho dond and many very old and dolap'.datcd. It was boro that Bynum was buried, who was killed in a duel by the late Hon. Bon. F. Porry moro than sixty yoara ago on tho island at Hatton's Ford oft the Tugnloo river, ten milos from Hartwell. Tho leg end goos that tho two gre i pino polos used in carrying tho coffin wore driven in tho ground at the hoad and foot of tho gravo, and that thoy took root and grew up to be large trees. Tho placo bo twoon two pine stumps was pointed out to us as tho resting place of tho ill-fated duolist. Mr. John ll, Pickett, an ex ceedingly entertaining and courteous gentleman, with whom wo rode from tho Old Steno Church to Seneca, gavo it to us as tho opinion of some "no that thero woro two small pino bushoa grow ing in that vicinity whon Byuum was consignod to his gravo. .Seneca is quito a business town and is growing right along. Among its promi nent business mon is Mr. Ja*. H. Adams, whom all of our people know. Ho has recently movod into a lovoly borne, "niokory Crest," located upon a con spicuous eminence that commanda a fino viow in overy diroction, including tho busy little oily and tho towering Blue Uidgo mountains. To him and our old school-follow, John Andorson, wo aro In debted for many courtesies. Everybody appreciates tho abrupt end ing of a dry sormon and a dull newspa per artiolo. Solah!
