r_ For the Anderson Intelligencer. Our Williamston Correspondence. | Me, Editor : According to promise in a previous article, as the times are dull and trade almost at a standstill, I again take up my pen to give you and your readers a few more jottings and items in regard to the still flourishing little town of Williamston, not? withstanding the scarcity of money, dullness of trade, etc., although, on account of the den? sity of the air and the almost intolerable prev? alence of an innumerable swarm of gnats with which our town is infested at this time, I am thinking that it will prove to be a very difficult task, without a fellow had one or two extra hands with which to guard his eyes, mouth and nose from those troublesome little foes. I suppose Williamston can truly boast of as nice, white and cleanly streets and side walks as any little town of the same renown. Our streets scarcely ever get muddy, even after a heavy rain, being so thickly covered with sand. The dust, however, is "some" at times, when the wind blows like it has recently. We have three neat churches?Methodist, Presbyterian and Baptist?in each of which we have preaching alternately, so that the same congregations can attend all of them and worship the same Lord together under our own vines and fig trees, none daring to molest us or make us afraid, and which we commonly do in peace and harmony with each other. And this is just the way that I love to see people meet together to woiship, without any regard to the different names by which they may be called. I think it is just as it was intended by our common Lord for us to do. What signify onr differences of opinion in regard to minor things, when we are all agreed as to the funda? mental doctrines and plan of salvation by our blessed Eedeemer? We should all worship together whenever it may be convenient to do so, notwithstanding we may be traveling differ? ent roads, which are all good, and doubtless will all ultimately lead to the same haven of rest, provided we travel faithfully to the end of our pilgrimage here on earth. The Methodist Church is supplied by the pastoral labors of Rev. S. A. Weber, faithfully twice in each month?on the first and third I Sabbaths respectively. Mr. Weber is a gifted and an accomplished orator, than whom, per? haps, few better can be found. The Presbyte? rian Church is supplied regularly once a month, on every second Sabbath, by our venerable father and brother, Rev. J. L. Kennedy, who has been preaching for us faithfully for the last fifteen years. He is so well known, that I forbear to say any thing of his qualifications. The Baptist Church is in charge of Rev. W. C. Dicken, of Greenville, S. C, by whom they are supplied regularly once in each month? every fourth Sabbath. Mr. Dicken is quite a zealous and devoted minister, and in his preaching brings up many strong arguments of warning and encouragement to his bearers, telling them plainly their doom if they refuse to heed and obey the invitations of the Gospel. There is a Sabbath School in connection I with each one of the above churches, under j the supervision and control of the officers of j those churches, and all apparently working well. Onr colored friends also have two j churches within the incorporation, and have preaching regularly. We have five orthodox j ministers of the gospel in onr town, three Methodists, one Baptist and one Presbyterian, I all of whom hold forth the word of life to a dying world. We have a female college, a male school and one or two others, all of which are presided over by good and competent teachers in every department. The College and Male Academy have vacation at this time, and will not be resumed again until the first of August. We have mechanics of almost every descrip- j tion in our town, viz: blacksmiths, house car- I penters, carriage makers, cabinet makers, chair makers, jewelers, brick and rock masons, plas? terers, painters, shoe makers, tanners, tinners, etc. There are six or seven blacksmith shops within the incorporation and as many smiths; j one corn mill and tannery, owned by Mr. J. E. Pickle, one of our first and oldest settlers. I ' I one boot aud shoe shop, by Mr. J. A. Suratt ; one milliner and mantua-maker shop, by Mrs. Stevens and Mrs. Hawley; one carriage, smith and wood shop, by J. J. Acker & Co.; two i jewelry shops, and one bar-room. One of our jewelers, Mr. J. F. Campbell, has recently died, leaving a wife and two small children. His remains were interred in the Williamston Cemetery by the Fraternity of A. F. M., with their usual solemn and imposing ceremonies. The other jeweler, Mr. E. J. Piuson, Esq., keeps a smith and jewelry shop, where he is prepared for repairing guns, watches, clocks, etc., etc. He is also an acting Trial Justice for Anderson County. There are four regular bred M. D's. in our town, Messrs. Epting, Brown, Moore and Jones, though the two latter are not practicing regularly. We have one first-class hotel, kept by our enterprising townsman, Mr. S. D. Deal, whose table I am told is always loaded with the best viands that the country or market affords, and no doubt on reasonable terms for the times. Persons visiting this place for their health or pleasure would do well to bear this in mind, and give friend Deal a call, as he is always kind and obliging to all, both great and small. There are also some other boarding houses which may be found, either East or West, when you cpme to town, that might, perhaps, some suit best,' and when you might be accom? modated with good and wholesome fare, and on terms both easy and fair. I must not neglect, in justice to the ladies of Williamston, to say that some of them have very beautiful flower yards laid off with some degree of taste and neatness, which cannot fail to attract the attention of even strangers in passing by, as they have often been heard to make remarks of admiration when unconscious of being overheard by the inmates. Ladies, you know, are generally fond admirers of flowers, aud therefore they should not be blamed for indulging their taste in the culti? vation of their favorite and highly-prized flowers, or in any thing that affords them pleasure or happiness; although sometimes it may be at the expense and toil of the opposite sex, who, perhaps, are not so fond of flowers as they otherwise would be. Men generally dislike the laboring part?the briars are so apt to prick their hands. In the town of Williamston we have some neat and tasty cottages, situated mostly, though not entirely, on Main tstreet, at such intervals as to make them private and yet public at the same time. As I have already stated, our rcsi dences and business houses are mostly situated on Maiu street, yet they are not so exclusively so as to make our town like that of Walhalla, comparable to a long black snake, for we have some very beautiful and fine residences which are not on Main street; if they were, perhaps they would be more conspicuous and give to the casual passer-by, a better opinion of our little village. In the centre of our town, enclosed by a neat and substantial plank fence, and surrounded by a variety of dense and beautiful shade trees, forming a most delightful grove, which securely shelters and protects you from the scorching rays of the summer's sun, there is an excellent spring of mineral water spouting out of a granite rock prepared for that particular pur? pose, where the invalid or pleasure seeker may slake his thirst, read the news or converse on the wonderful works of nature and art com? bined, which contribute not a little to the pleasure, happiness and prosperity of the citi? zens of Williamston. One other item and I desist for the present ; it is this: I think we can claim to have more widow-ladies in our midst than any other town of the same population. I know not their number within the incorporation, but immedi? ately on and near Main street we have not less than one dozen alone in the town of WILLIAMSTON. ? Broad River is being stocked with young shad, under the direction of Prof. Baird, United States Fish Commissioner. Eighty thousand were placed in that stream on Saturday last. Notice. the subscriber will make application to tho Board of County Commissioners for permis? sion to change the Double Branch Road, by shortening it 1350 feet above where it now en? ters General's Road, and cutting a Road to General's Road 990 feet long.
