It Is earnestly desired that every member who can do so he present on that occa? sion, and bring with them any information in their possession that may assist in completing the rolls of the companies, that a full history of the Regiment may be obtained, from the day of its organization to its surrender. Round trip tickets for one fare will be issued by the G. <fe C. R. R. to all who desire to attend. Let me urge it upon the members of the Regiment that they lay aside their respective callings for a day and attend this our first re? union. _ GEO. McD. MILLER, Late Colonel of Regiment. ?S" It is Tbtjly Wonderful, the variety and ingenuity of the conveniencies for the desk and office?Pens of varied patterns, Inkstands poasesssing numberless advantages, Letter Files, each one the best, Envelopes of size and qualities infiuite. It is' almost Dewildering to enter the large Broad Street Store of Walker, Evans & Cogswell, in Charleston, and see the number of these attractions. Here you find the largest Stationery Stock south of Balti more, and you only have two troubles?first, j sufficient cash; and second, the difficulty in | deciding among the many things offered, each equally suitable to your wants.

TOWERS A BROYLES, Mo. 4 Grauilo Row, Anderson. From the Nciv York Daily Neios. "The faet, we believe, is indisputable that, so far as the Sewing Machine is concerned, Americans can put in the best claim to having been its inventors, and not to having been its inventors merely, but to having been mainly instru? mental in affording to the world at large the incalculable benefits resulting from this great desideratum of the age. "Few inventions, more than that of the Sewing Machine, have produced a livelier interest in the public mind. What wonder, therefore, thai its advent among a people so prover? bially pro;:-: to exorcise r i.eir inventive faculties should have awake .cd a spirit of competition in the same line of discov? ery? What wonder that a mushroom growth of Sowing Machines should, in consequence (and in no protracted space of time), have been the result? We have neither the leisure nor the space just now, however, to justify the attempt on our part to give anything like a complete history of what may be designated the strife for pre-eminence among Sewing Machine Manufacturers in ibis city during (we will say) the last twenty years. Lot us commence, therefore, with the year 1871. In that year no less than twenty-five different Sewing Machine Companies (each intent upon producing in the public mind an exalted idea of its own Machine) were in most active competition ; and each, as a mat? ter of course, willing to base its claims to pre-eminence upon the amount of sales to be elt'eoted by it during the year. In other words, the sales of any particular Machine were considered the true index of its popularity. Well, in the above year, 1S71, THE SINGER MANUFACTU? RING COMPANY sold 281,2G0 Machines, being just 1,89G more than were sold by its two prin? cipal competitors during said year. "During tho year 1872, the Singer Manufacturing Company effected sales to the amount of 219,758 Machines, outnumbering those of its principal competitor during said period 45,670. "In 1873 the sales of the Singer Manufacturing Company reached 232,444, being 113,254 more than were sold during the said year by its highest competitor, and as many as were sold by all its other competitors combined." "And here it is worthy of remark that, while the sales of the principal companies this*year (1873) fell very considerably short of their sales in 1872, those of the Singer Manufac. Co. were largely increased. Well, conformably with their settled practice, the practice, we mean of in? creasing their sales each succeeding year, the SINGER MANUFACTURING COMPANY, last year, (1874) brought their sales lip to the astonishing figuro of 211,679, BEATING THEIR MOST FORMIDABLE COMPETITOR 14S,S42, Rut the sales of that competitor show a falling off in 1S74, as compared with 1873, of over 2(5,000 Machines ! where (as already stated) the sales of the Singer Company show an increase year by year, and the sales of the other Companies, for several years at least, show a decrease. *We are governed in our statements by reliable "Statistics of Sales" made to the owners of the princi? pal patents by those licensed under them. And in this place let us repeat that we hold to the rule that the comparative sales of a Machine constitute a good criterion ol its merits, and more especially so when the rule in question has been thoroughly tested through a series of years."

THE undersigned has purchased the right of ROD EN'S IMPROVED CULTIVATOR for Anderson and Oconee Counties, and invites the attention of farmers to this unrivalled im? plement, which has been thoroughly tested by many parties in this section, and given entire satisfaction. Farm rights are sold at Five Dol? lars, and can be procured of any of the agents named below, or from the undersigned. Town? ship rights can be obtained also. Attention is directed to the annexed certificates. W. J. HIX, Fair Play, S. C. CERTIFICATES. Pendleton, May 25, 1875. To the Farmers of Anderxon and Oconee Counties: Believing by the use of improved labor-saving machines the interest of farmers can best be advanced, I herewith take pleasure in recommending the Roden Improved Culti? vator, owned by Mr. W. J. Hix, as an imple? ment worthy of their consideration. I havo seen it work, and have worked it myself, and I have.no hesitation in saying that it surpasses anj'thing of the kind I have ever used. As a cultivator of corn and cotton it cannot be equalled. It is just what the farmers need. Ono hand and horse can do the work of two hands and horses. Respectfully, RICHARD W. SIMPSON. Anderson, May 26,1875. W. j. Hix, Esq.?Dear Sir: We have beeu using one of your Roden's Improved Cultiva? tors, and are well pleased with its performance. We used it in bedding land for cotton, making the prettiest beds we ever saw for four feet rows in two rounds, or four furrows. We used two Twisters in bedding, and found the draft light for one horse. We also used it for cover? ing corn with two small Bull-Tongues or Go? phers, which done the work beautifully, leav? ing a pretty, narrow ridge for the corn to come ?up on. Have not as yet used it in the cultiva? tion of crops, but are' confident it will give en? tire satisfaction. Our Germans, who are noted for fine plowing, are highly pleased with it af? ter using it. Yours, with respect, B. F. CRAYTON & SONS. Mountain Ckeek, May 31, 1875. This is to certify that I have used RodenHi Improved Cultivator, and am well pleased with its performance. In the first plowing of corn, I used the bull tonguo on the front and the twister in the rear, and it did the work beau? tifully, excelling anything I have ever tried. In the second plowing, used two round shov? els, and was equally pleased. A medium sized mule drew the plow with perfect ease. I be? lieve that its facility in working cotton will prove equally satisfactory. W. G. WATSON. AGENTS. Anderson?Reed & Stephens, B. F. Crayton <fe Sons, and W. B. Watson & Co. Belton?George W. Cox.
