The increase in the business 6i Anderson tins year over that of any previous year in the bistory of tbe town is plainly percepti? ble to even the most casual observer, and is . most gratifying to all interested in our pro 51 gross end advancement. This increase in business is due mainly to two causes, to ;< wit: The high prices paid by our merchants 5 for cotton and other country produce, thus inducing the farmers to bring their stuffs here for sale, and the very low figure at which goods of every kind, and especially . those most needed by the country people, arc sold. Up to within two years ago we. had been discriminated against by the rail? roads to such fin extent that it was impos? sible for us to compete with other towns in the matter of prices for goods, and conse? quently onr business men labored under v?uy great-disadvantages, which served to destroy their energies and retard materially the progress and development of no^ only their business but that of all others as well. ' Since, however, we have been put on an . eqnal footing in this respect with other " places, the many natural advantages of our town as a market, combined with the enter? prise and public spiritedness of our busi? ness men generally, has drawn many hither who never traded bere before, and brought bttck to us the trade of hundreds who had ceased to patronize Anderson for the reason that they could do better elsewhere. Our business this year as compared with that of former years is very much improved, and vre have every reason to believe that as the advantages of our place as a business mart j arc more widely known tins improvement will be still greater. The whole number of bales of cotton sold at this place for the cotton year ending 21st August last amount? ed to between 15,000 and 10,000, aud this ?y<!ar wc have no doubt the number will reach 10,000 or 20,000. Up to the present time we are several hundred bales ahead of last year, with every indication that each succeeding week will add to this majority. There are many causes for congratulation upon this progress, which should and doubtless will, stimulate every one with a spark of enterprise or public spirit to still greater efforts to build up onr town. No ore shonld relax his energies now. Do all that is possible to extend the fume of An . derson, and thus contribute to her pros? perity. ; There is no town in South Carolina where higher prices are paid for cotton or where goods are .sold at lower prices, and there is no reasou why any fanner in this County should haul a pound of cotton to any otber market. Our merchants appre ' date fully the demands of tbe times, and they will be the last ones to disregard these demands. This, we think, every one can ; xest assured of. BRIEF MENTION. '? Small change is exceedingly scarce. Abbeville now has a graded school. "Mr. Trowbridge has established a good business here as a broker. Our merchants pay within half a cent of Charleston prices for cotton. Mr. J. P. Seed left Anderson on Tuesday ?for the University of "Virginia. Through night express trains have been, g.; pnt on tbe Greenville* Columbia Rail Toad. Hot. Roderick Henderson will preach in the Presbyterian Church on next Sunday morning. After the third election, the Democratic \ ticket of Abbeville Connty has been com ?oleted. Messrs. L. P. Smith and A. S. Stephens are having new residences erected on their respective lots. The festival of the ladies of the Baptist Church, in progress as we go to press, gives promise of great success. The game law expired by its own limita? tion on the 15th instant, and sportsmen can nov kill turkeys, partridges, etc. Last Saturday and Tuesday were the big? gest cotton days of the season so far. On the first 836 were sold and on the. last 333. The clerks in Camden have time to go ?squirrel hunting. The clerks in Anderson have no time now for anything but busi? ness. "We would direct attention to the card in this issue of Messrs. N. K. & J. P. Sullivan, and those interested would do well to heed their warning. Mr. John W. Kay, formerly of this Coun? ty bot now residing near Greenrille, had his right hand and arm terribly torn in his gin tJie other day. The members of Roberts' Church and congregation are respectfully requested to bo in "attendance at the Church on the first Sabbath in October next. The Sonth Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanics will open on the 5th of October, and we hope will be largely attend? ed by the young men of the State. Married, on Tuesday, 21st inst., by Rev. J. R. Karle, at the vesidence of Mr. N. O. Farmer, Mr. Win. P. Snelgrove and Miss Annie C. Kiljiore. all of Anderson County. The 4th Quarterly Meeting of the Metho? dist Church at this place will be held on Saturday and Sunday next. Rev. 8. B. Jones. i>. D., willjpreach Sunday morning .and night. While John King, the kenper of the cle rphants of John Robinson's Circus, was un? loading his animals in Cbarlotto, N. C. on .Monday night be has killed by "Chief," the flargest elephant of the lot. James Kennedy, E. M. Barnwell and Win. Perry, the latter colored, of this County, have been drawn to serve as petit jarors at the United States District Court ' to cotweue in Columbia on the 4th Monday ,in November next. Gen. W. W. Humphreys has received an Invitation from tbe committee of arrange? ments of tbe King's Mountain Centennial rfor himself, his staff and the entire Eleventh "Brigade to attend the celebration there on /.5th to the Sth of October. A difficulty occurred in Abbeville on last Monday between Mr. P. l. Guffin and Mr. McClang over a game of billiards, which terminated in the latter shooting and kill? ing the former. We have not been able to obtain the particulars of the altercation. I The Anderson County Bible Society will hold its 32d annual meeting in the Metho? dist Church next Sunday night, October 3d. Th3 sermon before the Society will be p^eadicd by Rev. Saml. B. Jones, D. D , of Pendleton. It is desirable that the meeting bo well attended. Mr. G. F. Tolly still enjoys the reputation of being the most enterprising furniture cLt.ler in the np-country. His stock is Icr^er now than ever before, and he is making every effort possible to please his customers. He has no competition, but he sells his goods at bottom figures for all of that. The ladies of the Presbyterian Church at Pendleton gave a festival in that town on las; Friday, commencing at 3 o'clock p. in. and continuing into the night, at which they made about $80 above all expenses. The whole affair was admirably arranged, and was a most pleasant occasion for all who attended. Messrs J. R. Fant & Co. arc recognized by all as the roost extensive tobacco and fish dealers in town. They now have on hand over 1500 packages of fish and several thou? sand pounds of tobacco, besides a large and well assorted stock of general merchandise. ?Pant and Cummings are enterprising gen? tlemen, and will do what :"s right by their customers. Messrs. A. B. Towers & Co. have estab? lished an enviable reputation as a mercan? tile firm by fair dealing with their customers and by keeping only firstrclar?s goods for sale. Mr. Towers? the senior of the firm, has always m?de it a point in purchasing hin stocks to buy only such goods as be knew were reliable, and therefore their patrons can always depend on the articles purchased of them being bat they are rep resanted. ? ?' The enterprising establishment of Messrs. Bleckley. Brown & Co. has enjoyed a larger patrona'ge this y< :ir than ever befhris in ts history, whicli is evidence enough of tlie success with which the energetic efforts of the proprietors has been crowned. On last ? Saturday their cash sales and collections amounted to over seventeen hundred dol? lars, exclusive of collections on guano ac? counts, which was probably the biggest day's werk ever done by any firm in Ander? son. In every respect this firm is thorough? ly reliable. Mr. F. T. Wilhile returned on last Satur? day after a pleasant three weeks' visit to relatives in Georgia. He had the pleasure while over there of hearing a joint discus sion between" the two rival candidates for Congress?Hon. Emory Speer, Independent, and Hon. H. P. Bell, Democrat?which, for bitterness and personality, excelled any? thing he ever witnessed. Mr. Sneer is quite a young man, and very youthful in appear? ance, but as a speaker, Mr. Wilhite says he has never heard his equal. He completely demolished his antagonist, and will in all probability bo re-eleeted to Congress in No? vember. Mr. M. A. Cobb's gin house and three bales of cotton were consumed by fire on las Thursday night. The burning was the work of an incendiary, and on Wednesday morning Albert Ellis was arrested, and af? ter a preliminary examination sent up by Trial Justice J. C. Whitefield for trial by the Circuit Court. It guilty, he should be most severely punished. The crime of arson is one of the gravest, and no penalty is too severe for it. The punishment of a few of those guilty of this offence would be decid? edly healthy for the country. Arrangements for the sale of tickets to the King's Mountain Centennial celebra? tion, which takes p'nee October 5th to 8th, are complete, and tickets will be offered by all roads South on October 1st. good from ten to thirty days, according to the distance from King's Mountain, at 1? cents per mile. Special trains will leave Charlotte and Greenville, S. C, every morning for King's Mountain, returning "at night. The plat? form at which visitors will get off is 228 miles from Atlanta, 39 miles from Charlotte, and five miles from the battle ground.? Ample conveyances will he provided. Ev? ery indication now points to & large and successful celebration. As no District Association convened to embrace last Sunday, Rev. Mr. Strickland, Agent for Baptist State Missions, went with Rev. W. H. King, the pastor to TJuion Church, near Lowndesvillc, where be took a collection for his cause amounting to $45.70 cash. He reports favorably in many respects for that Church and people. A live Sunday School meets "in the church winter and summer, a Woman's Mission Society is in operation, and the outlook forprogress and development is very bright. The con? gregation is one of the largest, if not the largest, in Anderson County, and the pastor and his corps of deacons are doing a good work for that community. Mr. Strick? land's visit was the first ever made the Union people by any agent for missions or education, but we opine it will not be the last. Extracts from an Interesting Letter to the "Religious Herald" from an Andersonlan. The Religions Herald, published at Rich? mond, Ya., last week contained an inter? esting letter written from this place over the signature of "Argus," (Rev. W. H. Strickland,) from which we make the sub? joined extracts: In Anderson we are getting on very well. BKO. T. P. DELL, OCR l'ASTOR, is giving general satisfaction, and winning golden opinions from every one. lie preacbes good ser? mons, is a pleasant conversationalist, loves pastoral visiting, and is already pronounced "a capital fel? low." He goes ont into the country and assists the country pastors in their meetings, and the people are generally charmed with hid easy, familiar way of moving among them. Our educational interests have a re-enforcement in GEK. AYER'S SCHOOL FOR SIRLS. The General is erecting a substan tial school build? ing on bis own lot, and proposes to push the school as his own private enterprise. lie is assisted by Miss Bagby, from Virginia, who comes very highly recommended. His friends wish him abundant success in his laudable work. Anderson people are not indifferent to the wants ot our "school of the prophets." DE. WHARTOX spent last Sunday and Monday here, and carries off in cash $100, and bonds $1,200, and could he have stayed longer he would have obtained more. Our place, remarkable for its health, has had for two months past an UNUSUAL MORTALITY. While I was pastor for three and one-half years. I had but three or four funerals. Bro. Bell has bad as many in two months. We have had no epidemic, but our bells have tolled often and sadly of late. TWO SERIOUB LOSSES. Captain Joseph Y. Fretwcll, one of our oldest and most, valued citizens, died, at his home near here, a few days ago, most quietly and peacefully, without suffering of account. He was nearly four? score, and yet he was hale and hearty to the last week of his life. He was a Christian, I believe, although he had not united with any church, and I look forward to meeting him in the better world. I was bis pastor, his family were Bap? tists, and I often visited him at his quiet country home, taking my little children with me. He loved children passionately; said: "I am never so happy as when I have my arms full of them, and my heart full of them, too." Often placing bis hands on the head of my little daughters, he would say, fervently: "God bless you, and shield you, and save you, my daughters." He had ar abiding trust in Jesus, and lived an exemplary life. A large an afflicted community of friends mourn his loss. His children and grandchildren rank among our very best people showing that they have had good training. My last visit to his house was the fast week in June. He welcomed me, as usual, and said: "I do so much appreciate this visit, sir. I was afraid you wouldn't have time to come and see an old man again." Bidding me good-bye as I went away, tic said: "I know you will succeed in your new work, but I am sorry you gave up your church." Our other foss was that of Judge .1. P. Iteed, who. for many years, was one of the most substantial supports to our Baptist church, and the most public spirited citizen in our village. He had been a public man all his life, serving his country and State, and to his efforts are mainly due many good works and monuments of progress in upper South Carolina. His illness was fungaud painful, but he exhibited great character under bis sufferings, and bas gone to "wbcre the weary are at rest." His nature was noble and generous, and bis heart was tender ami sympathetic as a woman's. He possessed that admirable quality of true manhood that enables one to say, "I was wrong, I ask your pardon," and lie was a shining illustration of it; had he julged a servant unjustly or h.istily, he was as prompt to seel: out that ser? vant and make due amends. Tor j. go-jd while I wpj his pastor, loved aud appreciated, and it was so r laiulyto bo seen in his long sickness that the lood Jrather w?s mellowing the apple before It was to fall. He was specially fond of God's word and prayer, and often, when I visited him, he would remind me almost as soon as I sat down, that I must read God's word and make prayer before I retired. His ideal of a Christian man, minister, editor and argumentarian, was found in Dr. Jeter. He was constantly uttering his praises. Often has he said to me: "Bro.S., Dr. Jeter is the greatest man the Baptists have produced;" aud when he died, ho said: "Tliere is no one to take bis place". A short time before his departure, I visited him; he could speak but little; ''My only hope for sal? vation is in my Heavenly Father, through his Son Jesus Christ, and I don't believe he will fail me. He never has." And as he said of Jeter, so may be said of him. There is no one. to fill his place in the enterprise and public spirit of our town. A large, honorable and respectable family mourn his loss, and to them and the friends of Captain Frctwell we tender our sincere sympathies. Thus together have passed away two ot* the oldest senti? nels on the out-posts of mortality in Andetson. A Suggestion. Mb. Editor. : We wish to speak with the readers of your paper about Anderson and her interests. We are of the opinion that the time has arrived to build a large factory in the town of Anderson. We believe that our people have the spare means to enter into such an enterprise, and if correct in this the only remaining question is, Will it pay ? We think it will, if properly man? aged. There can be no doubt about it. We are in the centre of the finest cotton belt in the State?cotton sufficient sold in our market annually to supply a first-class cot? ton factory. This is certainly a very deci? ded advantage over many mills that succeed and declare large dividends to their stockhol? ders annually. We take it that a good per centum could and would be realized on the investment, therefore no objection can be urged to the enterprise on this considera? tion. . Is the foregoing all the consideration? We think not. It would niHkc Anderson j a better market for the planter; it would double the population of our town; it j would increase the price of real estate both in the town and surrounding country; the mercantile business would be greatly in? creased; the business of mechanics-car? penters, masons, painters, and all?would be greatly enhanced, and from these sources many other advantages would naturally arise, such as additional contributions to our schools and churches. These consider? ations alone, disconnected from the percen? tage on the investment, would compensate the stockholders, but when we get the per? centage and the other advantages attending the enterprise, why not enter into it? We write with the hope of getting our people to think on this matter, discuss this matter, perfect this matter and build the factory. John B. Moore.
