The carpenters of the city anticipate an
other building boom during the coining
?pring and Summer. If Anderson contin
ues to build up during the next two years
like she baa done in the past two, sho" will
not only be a city in name, but in reality.
There is plenty of room for buildings, and
a demand for them, too. As soon as a new
house is completed, thc owner readily lindi
an occupant for it. Every citizen who has
a few dollars to invest, should purchase
building lots and immediately improve
them. Let every ono endeavor to make
Anderson what sho ought to be, and in
tends being-the leading city of . upper
South Carolina.
There is a young lady in Anderson Coun
ty who can do almost anything she turns
her hand to. Her father takes considerable
interest in bee culture, and has <piite a
number of bee hives. Some time since the
bet"? made a new swann, ami there was not
a vacant hive to put them in, and no one
on the place at that time to make one.
Being very desirous of securing the bees,
the young ladyjsct to work to make a hive.
Gathering up a few plank, a saw and a
hammer, she soon made a very neat and
substantial hive and placed the bees in it.
Young man, if you can get such a girl as
that for a wife, yon will never starve to

The following, which we clip from an ex
change, may bu of interest to inveterate
smokers : "An English workingman, just
past the middle age, found that his pipe,
which for many years had been a great
comfort to him, was beginning to seriously
affect his nerves. Before giving it up, how
ever, he determined to find out if there was
no way by which be might continue to
smoke without feeling its effects to an in
jurious extent. He accordingly wrote to a
medical journal, and was recommended to
rill the bowl of the pipe one-third full of
table-salt, and press tho tobacco hard down
upon it, as in ordinary smoking. The re
sult was very satisfactory. During tho
process of smoking the salt solidifies, while
remaining porous, and when the hardened
lump is removed at thc end of thc day's
smoking, it is found to have absorbed so
much of thc oil of tobacco as to bc 'deeply
colored. The salt should be renewed
daily." m_
A Dlstreaiilug Accident.
On Friday afternoon, 12th inst., ono or
thc saddest and most distressing accidents
occurred ot Belton which lt has ever been
our duty to chronicle. Ernest and Fred.
McGee, sons of Mr. G. W. McGee, aged re
spectively about 13 and ll years, were play
ing with cmpiy guns in their father's store,
snapping them at each other, when Ernest
reached up on a desk in the absence of his
older brother, who bad gone out to the
depot, and, taking down a Remington rifle
which was loaded, fired at Fred., the ball
entering the back of his head and coming
out at the forehead. The little boy was
stricken senseless by tho wound, and died
in about one hour. Ernest hail no concep
tion that the gun was loaded, and was ut
terly astonished at tho sad calamity which
had befallen him, no less than little Fred.
They were both bright and interesting boys
and were constantly together. Theenthe
community sympathize most deeply with
the bereaved ones in the grief in which this
accident has overwhelmed them.

From thc Itariurii Sun.
We do not profess to b?' recklessly bravo,
nor yet so very cowardly. We "went
through'' the major part of the war-have
beard the cannon's roar, the shell's shrill
shriek, the swish of ?rape and cannister,
and the whistle of the minnie ball; have
boen wounded ; made prisoner of war. but
yet we were never so badly, so hopelessly
scared in our life ss we were at our native
town just at the close of the war. Hut we
will tell yon bow it was.
Just before the collapse of the Confedera
cy we were fortunato enough to bo one of
tho very few to receive a "furlough of in
! diligence," which we don't mind telling
you was awarded us for "gallant and merl
I lorious conduct Vi arni which we s|>eiit at
our home at Anderson, 8. C. When our
furlough expired we started back to our
regiment, tho i'd . C. little?, with Lee's
army. When we got to Newberry we
h umed the sud new? that Lee and Johnston
had Loth surrendered, and so there was
nothing left tis* I tu to return home.
As the people of Anderson and Hartwell
have good reason to remember, a horde of
robbers under command of a Col. Brown,
disregarding the fact thal peace bad been
proclaimed, raided through this section of
Carolina mid Georgia, and tinder guise of
authority plundered our homes-not even
sparing the negro cabins-and killing in
cold blood some of our best citizens. Hut
we will not dwell on tho vandalism of that
horde of cut-throats, but will proceed to
teil you bow we "got scared."
Brown's regiment camped in a dense
thicket on the Greenville road, about a
mile fruin the courthouse at Anderson.
We resided, not fur (rom the camp, on tho
Pendleton road. Just here it is important
to Mate that the Yankees bait taken every
thing in the shaiie of firearms from the peo
ple, and either appropriated them to their
own use or broke them so they could not
be used.
On the night the Yankees departed they
left at their camp many good horses and
mules which were only fugged out, and
which had been replaced by tho horses of
our people. After they had all gone, as wo
thought, we went up to the camp and se
cured a first-rate horse, which wo took
home and hitched in the yard. We then
concluded to return to get" a sack of corn
and u saddle which wo saw they hail loft,
hut had not thought to put on 'our horse.
As we said before the thicket was dense,
and the camp-tire had communicated itself
to a bed ol'leaven and was burning brightly.
We were standing by the fire alone, and a
person buck in the woods could see us as
plain us day, while we could see nothing
out in thc Kgyptaiti darkuess. We were
busily engaged in picking up the articles
which might pi ore of use. w hen we wero
startled by the sharp "click-click" of a
rille and u bonne, ungrv voice:
"What in th? h- Il ure vou doing
there?"
As soon us we ?leard the clicking of the
gun we knew thut one or more Yankees
were still in the woods, and would have
very little scruples in sending us to tho
ca rup-tires beyond. The cold chills played
up and down our spinal column, and bur
hair raised our hat au inch above our head
at thc horrible thought of being thus igno
miniously shot down without it chance ol
defending ourself. Therefore we answered
in our most |X)lite and suave manner :
"Nothing, sir; just picking up some lit
tle things left by the troops."
"Theh-ll you are! Don't you know
that is tigainst orders?"
"No, sir," we replied humbly.
"Drop them 'little things !'- now, d-n
you, git !"
We started off in un opposite direction
with alacrity, but heforo we had gono two
steps he yelled :
"Halt! About face!-come here, slr 1" .
We obeyed with great reluctance, seeing
there was no possible chanco to escape.
But we bad only gune u few steps when ho
commanded :
.Halt!"
Wo stopped instantly.
'Mark time !"
We realized that the Yankee was drunk,
but instinctively began to mark in com
mon time, when beyalled in a threatening
voice :
..Murk time double quick, you d-n
rebel !"
We began the double quick step, but re
alizing the extremely ludicrous feat the
drunken Yuukoe was forcing us to perform,
were on the point of making a bold dash
for the friendly darkness of the forest, re
gardless of consequences, when thc Yan
kee burst out into an uncontrollable peal
of laughter, fell down on the ground, and
rolled over and over in a paroxysm of
mirth until he came in full sight, when we
discovered that tho Yankee was no other
than ono of our old schoolmates, "Bub"
McCully !
lt is hardly possible to give an adequate
idea of how mud we were ; but after awhile
tito ridiculousness of the figure we cut
dawned upon us, und we joined Bub's up
roarous merriment.
Bub had gone up to the camp upon a like
errand as ourself, and bad picked up an old
rille with the barrel bent double, bul tho
lock in nindi t/wt, and observing us in the
bright glare of the burning leaves, and
knowing we could not see him, determined
to perpetrate the huge joke on us.
My, hut we were seured ! Napoleon was
right when ho suit!, every man bas his hour
ot fear.
We implored Bul) not to tell on us, and
bo faithfully promised not to do so; but
thc joke was too good to keep, and for fear
bc would betray us we went down town
early the next morning and told the joke
ourself.

Woman-Her Health and Lifo
Depend more on the regularity of her
menstrual functions than on any or all cau
ses combined. An actual or a living denth
is the inevitable result of derangement of a
function which makes woman what she is
