Mr. John Catlett, of this city, who served his country in the war with Mex? ico, showed us a Testament the other day which he carried with him through that war. Each member of his Company was presented with a Testament on the eve of their departure for the war. It has been kept very nicely, and is highly prized by Mr. Catlett. We started out to collect a few bills the other day. We had not gone far before we met a man with his nose in bis hand. We asked him what was the matter. He replied that he had been ont dunning. We didn't go any farther, but retraced our steps at lightning speed to our quar? ters. We publish this as a warning to those who may have bills to collect. Maj. Geo. W. Maret, of Fork township, showed ns. an old document the other day. It was a grant from the govern? ment for three hundred acres of land, dated April 4, 1775, and printed on parch? ment. The grant was made in pursu? ance of an Act of the General Assembly for the purpose of securing and granting land to officers or soldiers of the Revolu? tionary war. Mr. Maret now owns and resides on a portion of the original tract. Mr. Fielding Haynie came near being drowned while crossing the ford at Leak & Jones' mill, in Yarennes township, on Tuesday afternoon of last week. The stream was not very wide, and he thought he could cross without any trou? ble. He hadn't gone halfway through the creek when the buggy turned over on top of him. The water was so swift that the horse could not swim out, and all three were carried down stieam. Mr. Haynie was carried about two hundred yards, when he caught hold of a tree and '' saved himself from a watery grave. The horse got loose from the buggy and came out safe. Tue; buggy was completely wrecked.. 1 We have been informed by a first-class miller of thin County that in all probabil? ity there would be a large quantity of j damaged wheat in consequence of the continued wet weather. Even after it is I threshed there will be great danger of loss I in being put up too damp. He suggests that a small quantity of lime be sprinkled through the wheat as it is being put up permanently. He says several of his cus? tomers have tried it with beneficial re? sults for some years. In going through the smutter before being made into flour it is entirely cleaned from the wheat,, j leaving it sound and dry. Lime is cheap, and we think the above worthy of a trial, especially this year. The rains continue, and from the pres 1 ent indications there iu no telling when ? we will have fair weather. The farmers ' are terribly behind with their work, the \ majority of them not having plowed a ' furrow in three weeks; The cotton that was free from grass when the rains set in is looking well, though it will not remain so long. 0n_ some farms the grass has taken such a hold that it will be aim oat impossible to entirely rid the crops of it. Over one-half of the grain crop is still In the fields, and some are of the opinion that the greater portion of that is ruined. Others are more hopeful, and think that where it has been properly shocked the damage will not be so great as is believed, even if the rains continue for a week longer. The damage resulting from the rains cannot be estimated. Sixteen bridges have been reported to the County Commissioners as having ? been badly damaged or washed away. None of the bridges, however, are very large or costly, the most expensive one washed away costing only about $180.00. It will cost the County one or two thousand dollars to replace,them and repair the damages. From present prospects it looks like the crop of bottom corn upon our larger I streams will be a total failure in this County, owing to the recent freshets. We suppose, under the most favorable cir? cumstances, it will probably be the mid? dle of this month before the low-lands will be dry enough to re-plant, especially ' on our larger streams, making it too late to mature before frost, unless the Fall be very late. Under these circumstances what is the best thing for oar farmers to do ? In our opinion, and while we do not wish to appear as knowing more about their business than they do them? selves, the only way out of the difficulty is to plant, as soon as the land becomes dry enough, a crop of the early Dent corn, which matures in about six weeks. Not only can the bottom lands be planted with this corn, but the lands recently in wheat and oats, if properly manured and worked, is almost certain to make a crop. Messrs. Bleckloy, Brown <fc Fretwell, and perhaps other merchants, have ordered a lot of the above corn, and if the farmers think it worthy of trial they can supply themselves by making' their orders at once. In company with friend L. P. Smith, we attended the Union Meeting of Bethel Association at Andersonvillelast Sunday.. Owing to the cloudy morning the crowd in attendance was not as large as it would have been had the weather bean fair. However, the church was crowded, and everybody present seemed interested in the services. In the forenoon Rev. R. H. Griffith, Corresponding Secretary of the State Mission Board, and Mr. L. P. Smith made excellent addresses in behalf of the I Sunday School work. They were listen? ed to very attentively, and apparently made a good impression on their hearers. ! Immediately after the morning exercises were concluded, Dr. Griffi th preached an interesting sermon from t'ae text, "What do ye more than others?" When the meeting adjourned we repaired to the elegant and hospitable home of Mr. E. P. Earle, where we dined. We regretted very much to find Mr. Earle sick, he having been confined to his bed for the past two weeks. He is improving bIow ly, and we hope he will soon be restored to his usual health. Mr. Earle has one of the most charming homes to be found anywhere, and this, together with the kindness and hospitality of his house? hold, makes one's stay there very pleas? ant. We returned home late in the after? noon, feeling well repaid for our trip. Belton Items. Belton hopes the Congressional Nomi? nating Convention, soon to meet, will so act wisely in its selection of a candidate from this District as to afford it (Belton) the pleasure of joining in the grand cho? rus, "Hurrah for Murray!" Miss Leila Poore, the accomplished daughter of our townsman, Capt. James W. Poore, has just returned from the Greenville Female College, where she has been in attendance. Two charming young ladies, Misses Lanra Culp, of Chester, and Lillian Mc Gee, of GreenviUe, are visiting Miss Nora Brown, daughter of Dr. W. C. Brown. Our town has a manufacturing interest of which it may justly feel proud. The corporation to which reference is had is what is well and widely known as The Taylor <fc Cox Steam Fire Extinguisher Co. The Company is kept quite busy in shipping Gin Whets and Fire Extin Snishers. To give an idea of what won rous proportions their business is as? suming, they are now ordering piping alone in car-load lots. k. A Good Time. Mr. Editor : Allow me, before taking leave of South Carolina, to express through your paper the appreciation of my visit to Anderson. It is almost three years since I had been among you, and though absent from you I had not forgotten you. Five years of j my life was spent most pleasantly in An? derson, and returning last week hut ro [vived-my old love and fanned into a I flame. I congratulate the good people of An? derson upon the solid, substantial strides tbey are making in internal improve? ments. It seemed to me that I counted one hundred new houses or more, built up in the last three years, and from what II saw and heard, doubtless the next three years will number even more. Your educational institutions are flour? ishing also. This is even greater cause for joy than the other, for unless the mind be cultivated and expanded, money and its concomitants are a mixed blessing, if a blessing at all. I see no reason why you should not have two hundred young men in the Military School, and two hun? dred young ladies, in the Female Semi? nary, and. doubtless you will ere long. Anderson County being one of the very best Counties in the State, why should not her schools vie with the best? I trust you may pat the S. V. Railroad through soon. 1 have a small amount in? vested in that enterprise, and I don't want it buried. My heart was touched by the universal kindness and unstinted hospitality ex? tended to me while in your city. I was ; welcomed by all, white and black, as a son coming home from a long visit. Scores of doors were opened to me, the majority of which I could not enter for want of time. I only wish I had had op? portunity to visit every one of them. If any one has had more generous hospital? ity shown him, since the days of Gideon and his Kid, than was shown to this un? worthy scribe, I know not of it. I was amazed to see how some of the young people have grown in the last three years. When I left them they were little boys and girls?now graceful, bewitching young maidens, and grown-up men, with tender down above the sub-nasal cavity. What a fine-looking set of fellows were j those Anderson Military Academy men, as they gave us the plume drill I I enjoyed meeting with the saints in the Baptist Church and S. S., and their bright, interested attention helped me no little in preaching to them morning and night. The praises of their pastor I heard on every hand. Certainly he has a strong hold on his people, and deserves to have. But I must close this letter. I didn't intend to say so much. Said a gentleman to his wife once, "My dear, you are very demonstrative." "Yes," was the reply, "for I have a great deal to demonstrate." So, Mr. Editor, I have a great deal to de? monstrate when I speak of my visit. Where all were so kind it were invidious to men? tion names, and so I will gratefully ac? knowledge kindnesses irom one and all. Wm. Henry Strickland. Cooper-Limestone Institute, June 25,1884.
