The Richmond & Danvilla Rail Road has put in a side track at the site selected for the depot for tbe Clemson College, and the place is now a flag station. It will soon be made a regular station and tbe rail road company will build a small but comforta? ble depot and establish a telegraph office and other, conveniences. A good sized town is expected to develop at the station, but it has not yet been given a name, The site is a good one, and the depot is located ?only" a mile from the college.* Lieutenant John A. Towers. 1st Artil? lery, TJ. S. A., has been appointed Com? mandant of the Citadel Academy in Char? leston, by the Board of Visitors said institu? tion Upon this appointment application .will be.made to the War Department for ^detail'tothisposition.. This appointment lasts' for three years.. In the appointment Cof-TJeut.. Towers to this place a worthy cbrripliment'has bf-en conferred on a wor? thy, object. At- tbe time of his appoint? ment the Lieutenant was at. his post of duty in New York. He is the son of our townsman, Mr. A. B: Towers. ? Mr. W. B.King, the big man of our police force, who Is six feet six and one half inches high, was in attendance one night on the holiness meeting held in the grove a mile below town. Rev. Mr. Cowan asked everybody to get down off the benches. One man, Mr. King, seemed to refuse. - After several, appeals Mr. Cowan 'walked , around to Mr.King,.and just as he was about to again-ask him to get down off the bench, he discovered that Mr. King waa standing flat-footed on the ground, whereupon he turned, and smil? ing, went back to his place at the altar. We clip the following from the Milledge ville5 Chronicle, of the 13th inst: An ac? complished and pleasant gentleman paid us a visit on Wednesday, which was ex? ceptionally, agreeable. Capt Minor is well known here. He is a graduate of our college i with, the' highest honors in the class. He is now- living at Anderson, S. C.,. and. doing a fine business .there, with every pr?3"peot .of success..' The. city of Anderson should be proud, yen. very Sroud to claim B?ch citizens as 0?i?u 0. S. linor. He is. making things hum with his dime store, and tbe people stand and wonder how he sells goods for that price." /In the arrangement or location of electric lights and hydrants care should be taken to give every citizen his rights, and leave none to complain of taxation without par? ticipation in Che benefits. And at the be? ginning ia the best time to settle these matters. The question is not .whether it pays the city or not, but-whetber the citi? zen is entitled to the benefits of tb.ese pub lib works or not. We make these sugges? tions not-as complaints but as purely sug? gestions. In the language of Joshua W. Ashley let us have "equal rights to all and special privileges to none." If a citi? zen Is taxed to build them that citizen has .a right to the benefits resulting from them. It has often been asked how much water will .the Stand Pipe contain. We have in- ? veatlgated, and find that it will contain 190^843 gallons. To do this requires 9,423 cubic yards contents. . It; is 000 feet high, 000 feet in diameter at the base and 000 feet at tbe top.1 It contains -120 sheets of iron, put together by' 17;6S2 rivets. This structure was begun and completed within six weeks. In addition to tbe height above given, it is located on one of tbe highest points in the city, and is guaran? teed to furnish sufficient force to throw a stream of water ninety feet without the assistance of- an engine. With hydrants so arranged as to be accessible to all parts of the city, we may hope for less trouble in the future from fire.. The County Republican ^Convention met on last Friday in the Court House A full delegation was present from every Township except Brnsiiy Creek, Broadway and Honea Path. . There was only one white delegate in. the Convention?Col. .Cocbran. He opposed nominations for Congressman in Tbird District or State of? ficers, saying that it would only result in race antagonism, in which the negro would be the sufferer, and'that a bettor feeling existed between the races at this time than at any period since tbe war. The Conven? tion took a different view and elected del? egates to a Congressional Convention. When a resolution was offered endorsing W. W. Rassell for tbe nomination, it was voted down, although it Is claimed that some of the delegates elected favored Rus? sell. W.A.Clark was recommended for County Chairman for the next two years. Delegates to tho State? Convention, which met in Columbia on yesterday, were elec .ted as follows: W; A. Clark, Henry Ken-, nody, Lawrence Jones, M. H. Gassaway. The Convention was not in favor of nom? inating a btato ticket. Rev. R. G ? Pearson, the evangelist, will be in Anderson on Friday, the 26th inst., and will begin religious services on Sun? day following, the"4th Sunday of Septem? ber. ' The Building Committee have de? cided, after mature deliberation, to .occupy the Baptist Church, the largest in the city, which has been offered for the use of the union' meetings of the community, and which will accommodate in its audi? torium and new annex 1200 people or more. It is proposed^ to occupy these large apartments with closely adjusted seats ana chairs. - A Committee of gentle? men slqgers have been appointed to collect a large union choir of not less than fifty singers, ladies and gentlemen, who will at once.organize and practice from time to time,- preparatory to Mr. Pearson's coming, the hymns and tones of the "Gos Sel Songs," Nos. 1, 2, 3' and 4 combined, [any of those are already in possession of the Churches of the city, but five hun? dred copies of tho same without notes, in cheap form, have been ordered for tbe use of the people. Tbe preparatory union prayer meetings] advised by Mr. Pearson lor all such occasions, commenced on Tuesday evening at the Methodist Church, and will be held in tbe Presbyterian Church on Thursday night, and in tbe Baptist Church annex on Friday night of this week. These will be resumed on -Monday night following and held con? tinuously at night until Mr. Pearson opens the evangelistic services on Sunday, the 28th. These services will be entirely a union of .all denominations, free to all, and all persons, members of the Church or not, have an equal right in them, and are. cordially invited to attend. Mr. -Pearson's preaching has hitherto been accompanied with remarkable effect in Greenville, Charlotte, Rook Hill, Sals bury, Charleston and other places. Let us-welcome his visit to Anderson by our deep interest and faithful attendance. Death of W. H. D. Gaillard. - In the death of W. H.D. Gaillard, Esq., which occurred at - the residence df his daughter, Mrs. J. J. 8itton, in the town of Pendleton, on Thursday afternoon, the 11th inst., after an illness of a few days, the Community has lost one of its most vener? able and respected citizens. Mr. Gaillard was born in the city of Charleston on the 10th day of September, 1821, and was there? fore entering his eightieth year. Here moved to-this county as a young man, and - married Miss Sallie Sloan, a daughter of the late Benjamin F. Sloan, of Pendleton, and has since resided at Pendleton, where for many years he has been one of her most prominent and influential citizens. As a member of the Pendleton Farmers' Society, he took an earnest part in the pro? ceedings of this organization, and was for years its presiding officer. He wa a prom nent member of the Masonic fraternity, and .was a constant representative from his lodge in the Grand Lodge of the State. As one of the vestrymen of St. Paul's Episcopal Cbnrcb, he was' one of the most devoted and earnest of its members, and was repeatedly a delegate to the Conven? tions of the Diocese. He was for many years a magistrate and trial justice, and made a model officer, displaying always fine judgment and meting out exact jus? tice unt? he resigned the office, and de? clined a re-appointment. Mr. Gaillard, as a yonng man, was iden? tified with the efforts to build the Blue Rid go Railroad, and this circumstance was, ? perhaps, the leading cause which brought him to Anderson County. He occupied various positions in the devel? opment of the enterprise, and was, at the beginning of the war, made Superinten? dent of the road, a position which he held up to the time that tbe road went into bankruptcy, as the result of the disasters of the war. Mr. Gaillard possessed a most remarkable memory, which for detail and accuracy is seldom equalled. He was a gentleman of the old school?true and admirable in all of the relations of life. His remains were interred in St. Paul's Cemetery, in Pendleton, on last Friday afternoon, and a large concourse of those who knew and esteemed him in life, gath? ered, to attest their respect for his memory. Second Agricultural Engines For Sale. The Sullivan Hardware Company have on hand several second hand engines, thoroughly overhauled and in first class fix?fully warranted?which they will sell at much under their real value. See this Company.'a advertisement elsewhere in this paper in regard to Smith Gins, Cotton Presses, Saw Mills, &c. They are headquarters.' Jumbo on tho Present Situation. Mr. Editor : Jumbo again seats him? self t? drop yoh and your many readers a few lines, to let you know that everything in and around our growing city is quiet, calm and serene. Cotton and corn crops are good, and the farmers are busy pre? paring to take care of the fleecy staple. Politics has cooled down, and "Peter's wife's mother" Is now convalescing, and Jumbo thinks with good care and nurs? ing the old lady will soon be up on her feet again. ButPoteris now down him? self with that fatal disease?political lep rory?caught it from his wife's mother. Ob, my country, who can deliver us from County caucuses and four or five men who are trying to manage and run the po? litical affairB of the County. You know, Mr. Editor, that Jumbo and Josh Ashley declared themselves candidates fer' the Legislature, but the little County caucus said that Jumbo was too large, and would be too expensive to the State to pay freight on him to Columbia and back home. There was 1443 men in the County that said Mr. Ashley was a suitable man to represent Anderson County in the Leg? islature. Jumbo says that be is not at all uneasy that he will come in all right in tbe general election, when all the big offices and men has to be voted for. Yon,, know, Mr. Editor, that the good book says that the first shall be last and the last first, and that many are called but mighty few are chosen. So you see that Jumbo is sure to be elected, because he has tbe Bible to sustain him in his belief. Three cheers for Jumbo, and down with the rings, cliques, trusts, mo? nopolies and the little County caucuses. Now, Mr. Editor, I would like to know just how this disease?political leprosy affects a man. Does it affect a man's brain, or his legs, or is it- something like the seven-years' itch ? T do believe that Jumbo has strong symptoms of the dis? ease, for ever since the primaries he seems .somewhat depressed and has sorter of a down-troden' look?he looks just like he had lost a friend and is all out of joint, while' there are others that have been down with leprosy who seem to be all smiles and grins, and are now sanctified until another election comes around, and they are turned out, and some one elected in their place, then they lose their sanc tification and will, become as dead men. Oh, my.oountry, my bleeding .country, who can deliver us! from snakes, Green backers and every-poisonous reptile that crawls upon the fece of the earth. How often we would have, gathered you all under the farmers' \\ ings, but ye would not. '' Your devoted friend until death, Jombo. Lebanon Items. The farmers are busily engaged with "General Whitefield" these beautiful sun? ny days, and some of them are needing re-inforcements very badly. The health of our community is not very good at present, and not much pros? pect of getting any better. Typhoid fever mostly. Mrs. Nimrod Smith has, during this year, sold 165 dozen of eggs and bad as many as she could use besides. I think it would be a good thing for every farmer to have a large poultry yard. The farmers plant too much cotton for the force which they have. I think it would be a good idea for the farmer to plant less cotton and attend to it better. I am euie it would save lots of hard labor, and then it would make just as much as if you had a .large crop and not able to gather it.' .Suppose the farmers try this plan next year and see how it works. A certain young man has purchased a buggy recently, and I wouldn't be much surprised if some of tbe girls get to take a ride in it pretty soon. Mr. M. C. Smith had tbe misfortune to lose two very fine cows a few days ago. The disease is not known. A horse of Mr. William Elrod's ran away a few days ago, tearing a wagon up pretty badly which was hitched to him. Happily there was not any one in the wagon. "Billy V bell is in good ringing order, and bis hands are called out at due time. 1 believe it would pay some of'the far? mers of this section to go to raising hay, judging by the tall grass that is in some of their cotton patches. At tbe meeting of the patrons at this place, a few days ago, Prof. Hamlin waR elected our "next teacher. We hope he will till the bill. . Preparations are being made for attend? ing the campmeeting' at Sandy Springs, whioh begins next Thursday. We hope everything will go off pleasant, for this is no place for riots, nohow. May a great good be accomplished by the good work, which is expected to be carried on. Your humble servant, Sine Die. Belton Itoms. Cotton is coming in in considerable quantities and business is beginning to re? vive. Mr. W. J. Moorhead has returned from an extended bnsineBs trip to New York. Mrs. A. C. Latimer returned to- day .from a ten-day's visit to relatives in Greenville and Spartanhurg. The young people of the town last Fri? day night participated in a very enjoyable "sociable" at the residence of Mr. & Mrs. A. B. Campbell. . Prof. W. E. Breazeale is visiting rela? tives near Anderson. He will go to Fur man University to take charge of the chair of Mathematics, a position to which the best wisdom ofthat institution's faculty recontly invited him. The stockholders of the proposed Alli? ance Store held a meeting Saturday after? noon, but- postponed action one week. About one half the desired capital stock of the enterprise has been subscribed. Work.on the Oil Mill is progressing fa? vorably, the outer walls of the new build? ing being now almost completed. The incoming staple will soon tax the mill's ginning capacity to its utmost limit The Belton Academy will open its an? nual session next Monday. The new Principal, Rev. J. I. Smith, is an educator of ability and experience; and, backed by the earnest support of its directors, the BChool will present during the coming year advantages of an exceptional nature. Mrs. Geo. T. Brown, of San Luis Potosi, Mexico, formerly of this place, arrived here this afternoon on a visit to Mrs. A. L. Brown and other relatives, who with many friends will be glad to meet Mrs. Brown after her prolonged absence. Her hus? band, Mr. Ueo. T. Brown, who was recent? ly here on a visit, is connected with the Mexican National Railway. J. Houea Path Items. Mrs. Smith and family, of Greenville, are visiting Mrs. Deale. Mrs. J. 0. Milford has been quite siok but is about well again. Mr. J. E. Harper, a former student of the Honea Path High School, has been visiting his old friends and schoolmates at this place. He will enter Furman Uni? versity this fall. Rev. R. W. Burts baptized twenty-two converts at Broadmouth last Wednesday. The meeting at Broadmouth was one of the best that has been had there in years. Prof. H. H. Watkins, who has been at? tending the summer course of lectures on law in the University of Virginia, has re? turned home to rest a few days before the opening of Furman University. The Baptist Church at this place is try? ing to arrange for pleaching twice a month next year. A committee was appointed to confer with any neighboring church with a view of settling-a pastor. A protracted meeting was held at the Methodist church last week. Owing to the busy season the meeting was not as well attended as desired. The Presbyterians have organized a Sun? day School at their church. So we have three Sunday schools now, Methodist, Presbyterian and Baptist. ? Honea Path High School opened on the the 1st inst., with about one hundred pu? pils, which number has been considerably increased since that time. New boarders arrive every week and the prospects of the school are very flattering indeed. Mr. J. T. West, of Greenville, was the only one of the boys of this school who entered the contest for a Citadel cadotship. He secured the appointment over four other contest? ants. The merchants here are preparing for an unusually large trade this'fall. P. AnUersonvllIe Items. Cotton picking is the order of the day. Everything that can pick is in the field from early morn to dusky eve. Fodder is about all housed, but it is not by any means first-class forage, as the weather has been unfavorable. Deputy-Sheriff Green visited this section a few days ago, but he did not have the pleasure and company of a prisoner. Come again, friend Green ; perhaps you will have better "luck." Mr. J.-T). Stonecypher had the misfor? tune to lose a fine mule colt recently by death. It is the second one Mr. S. has lost in the last two years. Such calamities fall heavy on a man. Mrs. Mary E. Sloan, of Columbia, is visi ting h er sis tcr at this pi ace. Hop s s h e will have a pleasant stay. Some of our citizens have got the "go west fever." We hope if they do -^go they will not regret it, although we are inclined to believe they will. We understand that Mr. Wm. Feltman, of Georgia, has bought land and will set? tle among us. We extend to friend Wm. the right hand of citizen fellowship. Also "Jako" has bought land in this vicinity, and from all appearances will ask some man for bis daughter before long. That's right, Jake. The Shady Grove school picniced last Friday, the Gtb. As we had no "stool," we can't say much about it, but suppose it was a success, as Miss S. J. McClain knows how to make a success of any thing she undertakes. She will resume her school again about Nov. 1st. Mrs. Mary Reed, the oldest and most highly ropected lady of this vicinity, is quite sick. We hope for her a speedy re? covery, and that the end of her usefulness is far distant, and that sho may be spared to her loved ones many years yet. Miss Fannie Earle is on the sick list. We hope, however, that she. may recover soon. B. J. Notes From Townvllle. Mrs. Jeanette Holland, of Anderson, relict of the late Dr. "W. T. Holland, vis? ited friends here last week. Miss Julia Dean has been employed to teach again at Smith Chapel. This will make her third year there, and this fact is complimentary to her. The Baptist cemetery at this placo was cleared off last week, and it is doubtful if as neat a piece of work of the kind could be found in the County. Mrs. J. C. Gantt is suffering from a tedi? ous spelll of fever, but her condition is slightly Improved. Mr. W. E. Stevenson, one of the Fork's most enterprising young farmers, is now engaged in the manufacture of brick near Broyles. Mr. J. E. Wilhelm, of the firm of Wil? helm & Preston, Managers of the Central Publishing House, Atlanta, was here, last week on business. Easter Edwards, a faithful colored ser? vant woman of this place, died last week after a lingering illness. She was a superior cook, and several years ago she served several of the prominent families in Anderson in that capacity. She was also a competent aick nurse, and wherever she went she did much to relievo sufifer iug. She was about 40 years of age, and as a slave wa3 the property of Meredith Brock, now deceased. ' Capt. B, F. Dick8on. aged 76, paid a visit last week'to his consiu, Mr. Bratton Dick son, who resides in Franklin County, Ga. The latter, who has passed his 80th year, was for a long time a resident of this County, where he was widely and favor? ably known. Capt. Dickson found him critically ill, and it is probable that by this time he has passed away. * Craytonville Items. The prolonged wet weather has caused the cotton to be injured in low places. Not a great deal been gathered yet. Some are not through with fodder, and the weather is so unfavorable that they are prone to let it remain on the stalk. We don't usually make two good crops in a single year, but if we desire, we may gather two this year. Our old poor fields are producing grass like bottom land. So rich and productive does our land appear, that fifteen, eighteen, and even twenty dollars per acre, has been offered and refused. It does seem to us that it did take the people a long time to find where the best place is. Some of our neighbors are selling tbeir cotton at Pelzer. Will the Anderson merchants allow us to say that Pelzer beats them on cotton? If so, then why so? Don't I wish I was a cotton buyer. Mr. J. W. Banister claims tbe finest turnips in Mohawk. The yoong and genial widowers of this section seem to be the -only ones who deserve compliments, at least no one else gets any. Are they not to be envied? Yes there is news in the air; news of wed? dings, bright weddings. Some, who have never married any at all, aro going to marry. Isn't that news about new things! Those who humble themselves will most assnredly be exalted. Is there one to deny this?.

Editoe: We attended the closing exercises of the Oakland High School, near Antreville, on the 12th inst., and as there was no one present known to be a reporter of the Intelligencer, and feeling assured that the work done in this school during the present year deserves public notice and praise, we attempt to write you some of the things we saw and heard on that occa? sion. Early in the morning the pupils, patrons and friends began to come together, and by 10 o'clock an immense audience had assem? bled, alL expecting to be highly entertained, and they were not disappointed. At the hour mentioned, Prof. W. L. Brown, the efficient principal, appeared upon the large and very beautifully decorated stage and in a few appropriate words welcomed the peo Ele and expressed hla appreciation of their indness in coming out in such large num? bers to witness the performance of the day. The entire school was then brought forward to greet us with a happy welcome 3ong and grand, indeed, it was, to see fifty or more bright eyed-girls and boys march out with the exactness of a well trained mili? tary company, and to arrange themselves on the stage and opening their mouths send forth their merry song, while such a smile emanated from their faces as told that their hearts were in happy unison. Next was introduced some reading classes, all of which did well, but we feel that es? pecial mention should be made of the third reader class which read with ease and accu? racy for some time. We were informed that some members of the class had never attended school until this year, and at the beginning of the term did not know the alphabet. We were surprised at the prog? ress they had made in only eight months. A geography class was introduced which was the best of all. In it we recognized the faces of some who had been in the third reader class, who had learned the alphabet this year, Theu came classes in history, Latin, etc., ail of which showed forth the careful training they had received as well as the superiority of their own minds- We were also treated to an address by Rev. R D. Hawkins, which was eminently appro? priate to the occasion and well received, particularly by the little folks to whom it was especially addressed. In the afternoon we listened to a large number of rich, rare, and racy speeches by the pupils. They, as well as the songs rendored at .intervals, evinced the careful training they had received from Miss Alma Wickliffe, of Elberton, Ga., who had for some time been in charge of the department of elocution and music- We learned that Miss Wickliffe had been sick lor several days just before the exhibition, and was hardly able to attend the public exercise, but there was no noticeable deficiency in her work. The entire programme was splendid. At night the following pro? gramme was rendered before an audience even much larger than that which had at? tended during the day: Song?Moon on the Lake, by twelve girls. Comic Speech Joe's Cotton- Speech?Curse of Regulus, by Mr Ernest Wakefield. Instrumental Music by Miss Wickliffe. Recitation? The Raven, by Miss Cora Crowther. This very difficult piece was rendered beautiful? ly. Song?Annie Roony, by four little girls. A drama?No Cure No Pay?by seven girls. The audience wa9 so well pleased with this and their cheors were so great that we, being seated rather far back, failed to hear every word, but it was very fine throughout. There was not a poor character in the play and every one was well performed. Song?Jack and Jill, by a dozen girls. It brought forth continued cheers. A Case in Coiirt?A Ready Made Suit, by twenty boys. A song?A Lullaby ?by Miss Eva Wakefield- This was the crowning effort of the day and was much appreciated. At the end of the performance, Mr. A. M. Erwin appeared on the stage and read some resolutions that had been unanimously adopted at a recent meeting of the patrons of the school, in which they expressed, in strong terms, their apprecia tion of Prof. Brown ao a teacher c-f ability and indomitable energy, and thanked him for the very excellent manner in which he has conducted the school. Prof. Brown followed this with a few words of thanks and then the audience was dismissed. All went to their homes feeling that they had been well entertained. We have produced this programme, in part, from memory, and in point of order it may not be correct, but in the main it is as rendered. We felt that the public should know of this school, and hence we have tried to write it up as well as we were able and time and space would permit. We feel, however, that this article does not treat-thc subject as nobly as it deserves. The best of order was had during the entire time. Prof. Brown will probably teach there next year, and should he give another exhibition we hope to have the pleasure of attending. A. CALHOUN FALLS CITY. Editor Intelligencer : Some three weeks ago I stated in an interview pub? lished in your paper that I would, from time to time, furnish such information as the public may desire to know regarding the movemeuta of the Western Carolina Land and Improvement Company in the development of the new town (at the crossing of the Georgia, Carolina & Northern and Port Royal <fc Western Car? olina Railroads in Abbeville County, near the Savannah River) the name of which is, and hereafter to be known as Calhoun Falls, South Carolina Permit me to inform y?u, and the pub? lic in general, that during the past three weeks no time has been lost in pushing all preliminary work to a point where permanent developments will commence very soon. The survey on the river is very near completed with very satisfactory results, the Engineer Corps surveying and platting the town are hard at work, and when completed will be in keeping, if not eclipse, any modern town lately started. It is contemplated to utilize the water power by placing a largo electrical plant at or near the river, and furnish power to any and all enterprises'that will be located in the town at a very moderate cost, so as to enable manufacturers of all articles to compete with those who claim to have su? perior advantages in the way of cheap coal. To argue that for convenience, relia? bility and cheapness, water-power is the most economic, would only be a waste of time, and I will here quote the opinion of the highest authority in the land on such subjects. In an interview published in the Manufacturer's Record in March last, Mr. Thomas A. Edison, in speaking of the numerous water-powers of the Piedmont section and their great value as factors in industrial development, said that a strong, unfailing water-power within a few miles of a town, is the most economic agency for generating electric power, and for illumination of any now known, hence it is very clear, and every? one familiar with the property will read? ily admit that nowhere in the South is a spot to be found that can offer stronger inducements to manufacturers than will present themselves at Calhoun Falls, and all will agree with me, when stating that Calhoun Falls is destined to become a large and prosperous industrial and com? mercial center in the near future- We are living in a more advanced age; the art of town building has become a science of late years, and the reason why the new towns are eclipsing the old, arise from a variety of causes. In the first place rail Toads have entirely changed previously established conditions; the old time vil? lages and country townB, with here and there an exception, were located without reference either to industrial or commer? cial growth. The new towns are being located with reference to- their fitness for accommodating manufacturing plants, for sustaining trade and for home sites. The result is that topographical fitness is a great faotor in the selection of town sites nowadays, whereas, formerly towns grew by accident, and usually at points Feast suitable for centers of population. But the main point in favor of the new towns, next to railroad facilities, prox? imity to raw material, topography and cheap power, lies in the power of concen? trated endeavor In the old towns there are cliques and factions, feuds, rivalries and jealousies. A. B. has outlying land at one end of the town, and CD. has an adjacent farm at the other end. C. D. opposes every im? provement scheme that may eventuate in the enhancement of the value of the' property of A. B., and vice versa. In the new towns, however, there are no such rivalries. As a rule a large acreage is purchased by a Company, due atten? tion is paid to healthfulness, to drain? age, to attractions of environment, to sites for -industries, to areas for business purposes, to convenient places to build houses, in short every feature tending towards rapid growth and development Is carefully considered by the manage? ment. The Company owning all the land in sight is in a position not only to donate free sites to manufacturers, but to take stock in new enterprises. The new South, or more properly speaking the awakened South, is being built up by the enterprise of her own people and level-headed inves? tors from other sections of the Union. More or less European capital is being put into Southern lands, mines, mills and factories, but Europe's real part in the South's development has yet to be played. Well-informed foreigners are already pretty familiar with the South's merits as a field for investment and enterprise, but when this eection comes to be as well advertised as the West has been, Europe's millions will need no urging to seek new homes in this, the most favored region of the new world. While the South has scarcely been properly advertised in Eu? rope, yet what was done by the Depart? ment of Agriculture in this State and by others, in the shape of attractive exhibits at the recent World's Fair in Paris, has aroused a spirit of inquiry and investiga? tion among the better classes of foreign artisan's and the well to do farmers, and has already brought oyer their represen? tatives to examine the country and to find suitable locations for bodies of colonists. What has been undertaken and success? fully accomplished in other sections of the South will also be carried out here, and I can see no reason why Calhoun Palls should not become a city with a population of at least-ten thousand people in five years hence. To somo of your readers this may appear very extravagant, especially to those who are not familiar with the progress of the new South, but let all doubting Thomases examine and inquire into the phenomenal growth oi some of the new towns started within the past twelve months, such as Middlesbor rough, Kentucky; Fort Payne, New England City, Piedmont, Alabama; Johnson City, Cardiff, Harrison, Eimball, Tennessee; Buena Vista, Salem, Glascow, Basic City, Clifton, Forge, Virginia; where in some of the above named towns building lots have advanced from $10 to $400 per front foot, where in ninety days' time time dissidents of 90 per cent, have actually been paid on Land Com? pany's stocks. All this may sound fabu? lous, but nevertheless every word of it is true and can be verified. The Western Carolina Land and Improvement Com? pany is in position now to carry out their undertaking, and I have no hesitancy in saying that with the association of such gentlemen as the Hon. Pat. and John C. Calhoun, who are now interested in the Compauy, and several other New York capitalists who are to become interested later, success is sure to follow the under? taking, and that before many months a city will spring into existence that will astonish the most sanguine believers in the enterprise. Trusting that you will pardon me for attempting to monopolize your columns, I am yours, Very respectfully, 0. G eisberg. Attention.
