Only a few bales of cotton brought to Ith Is market during this season haye been covered in cotton bagging. The farmer *s hers reminded that it is to his interest "to put nine yards oi the heaviest bagging he can gat on each bale. He gets more , than double what he gives for his bagging, therefore he should use all he can. He should cover Ais cotton entirely with the heaviest bagging. ?Now is the time to prepare your early barley patches, to sow clover and' the dif? ferent grasses.

He has many friends in Anderson who are glad to see him on the streets again. The organization of Chiqnola Lodge, K of P., as given in this paper some time ago, was perfected last Monday night, and the Lodge duly organized and the officers in? stalled. There were visitors here from Darlington, Ninety Six, Greenville, Cen? tral and other places, to be present at the institution of the Chiqnola Lodge. The following are the officers: Senior Past Chancellor, P. K. McCally; Junior Past Chancellor,"Geo, E. Prince; Chancellor Commander, J. L. Tribble;' Vice-chancel? lor Commander, M. P.

Mr. Hamlin is one of the best teachers in the county. He has been en? gaged as the teacher at Lebanon next year. About one o'clock a sumptuous dinuer wa3 served, after which an address was de? livered by C. Wardlaw on "Duty." At the conclusion of his speech he was pre? sented with four beautiful boqnets from .the ladies. Mr. Hamlin closed the occasion with a valedictory address to the school. The people of Hopewell are determined to .keep up a good school, und will not be downed by difficulties. The first entertainment iu the Opera Honse for this season took place last Tues? day night. It was "Hoyt's Three Fast Men." Those who attended were certainly given repeated opportunity for laughter, which was freely and heartily enjoyed. ? The Opera House Company have arranged, and are making arrangements for a pretty full share of the entertainments of this fall and winter.. .They have gone to theex Sanse of fitting op an Opera House in rst class order with all the most modern and .convenient and comfortable arrange? ments, and will no doubt have a successful season. Those in charge will endeavor to engage none except first class companies, and will thereby endeavor to give our peo? ple such entertainments as they can enjoy. * A large crowd attended the campmeeting at Sandy Springs last Sunday despite the inclement weather. Good order was pre served. ? Rev. W. D. Kirkland, editor of the Southern Christian Advocate, preached the eleven o'clock strmon, which was very much enjoyed by those who heard it. However, there is said to have been a great' deal of misbehavior on Saturday night, and at the factory, not far from the camp ground, a difficulty is reported to have oc? curred between two young mou from near Slabtown, by the name ofFrasier, and one Mr. Simpson, in which all three were pretty badly used up. It is said thatone was shot," one cat and' the third 50t bis head crushed with a rock. The particulars are hard to get and consequently we are unable to give the cause or even the result of the trouble very acourately. Mr. George A. Wakefield, a young man who resides with his ancle, Mr James A. Wakefield, at Antreville, met with a terri? ble accident.od Wednesday, 17th inst. He was raking: seed away from a gin, when by some means his arm was caught by the saws and literally torn to shreds, aud also badly orush cd. Medical aid was soon at hand, and it was found that amputation was necessary, and his arm was amputated near the shoulder. Dr. Hill, of Abbeville, assisted by Dr. J. Anderson, performed the operation, and at last accounts he was get? ting along as well as could be expected ander the circumstances. The young man stood the operation heroically. We hope he will soon be well again, as he is an in? dustrious young gentleman, and stands high in his community. Mr. Wister W. Cooley, who lives near Williamston, was the victim on last San day of a most painful and almost fatal accident. While on the way to the Camp meeting he Etoppei to water his horse, and owing to f.n over cheek rein he took the bridle off so the horse conld drink. The horse became frightened, started to ran, and-in his efforts to hold the horse Mr. Cooley fell and was tramped on by the horse, one foot striking the young man ? on the Bide of the head aud face. Mr. Cooley was unconscious aud thought to be. killed, for some time, but he has regained his consciousness, and at last accounts was doing well. Dr. John Dackworth attended him. It is said that the print of the horses foot is as plain and distinct on the side of Mr. Cooler's head and face us if it were a track in the sand. The Patrick Military Institute began its session of 1890-91 last week, with a larger attendance than ever before at the - opening of a session. The roll of Cadets has been growing larger and larger every year, and from time to time the boarding house, has had to be enlarged, and now they are fall, with the prospect of a con? siderable increase yet. This demonstrates that "nothing succeeds like success." Col. Patrick has made a success of the Institute here, and as a consequence it is constantly becoming more and more suc? cessful and popular. The roll is com? posed of students from almost every' County in the State, and from several other States. We are always glad to be able to say such things of our schools, for they add a great deal to the genuine growth of a city. We have often said that there is no better place to educate your boys, and we say that now is the best time to start them. Here they will re? ceive a thorough training, both intellectual and disciplinary. Let them come. ' "Mr. J. T. Burgess, of Fork Township, took bis cotton to a town on the Air Line Railroad, and was offered only 9 cents. Ho refused to sell, and brought it to An? derson and received 93. If be bad brought it here the day before he would have got 9.55. Anderson is the place to sell your cotton, Mr. Burgess says, and he is right" We find the above item in the Anderson Intelligencer, and we pre? sume the reporter got his information from Mr. Burgess himself. Now let us look a little farther. A few days ago Mr. Joe Burgess, living near Townville, brought two bales of cotton here and hauled it back saying he would take it to Anderson and do better than he was of? fered here. Mr. J. C. Cary made the last bid on his cotton, and he informs us that be offered Mr. Burgess 9 5-16 for one bale, and 9$ for the other, and anybody can easily see that it averages more than 93. Is it the same case ? It looks like it, but oh, how different it looks when you get the facts. In naming good cotton mar? kets Seneca can't be left out. Get as right, brother.?Seneca Free Press. Some people have just enough religion to make them miserable. If they had none, they would be able to enjoy the world; bat thoy have too much religion to be able to enjoy the world, and yet not enough to enjoy the world to come. 0 you poor betweenities?you that hang like Mahomet's coffin, between earth and heaven?you that are like bats, neither birds nor beats?yon that are like a flying fish, that tries to live in the air arid water, too, and finds enemies in both elements? you that are neither this, nor that, nor the other, strangers in God's country, and yet not able to make yourselves at home with the devil?I do pity you. Oh, that I could give you a tug to get you to this side of the border-land! My Master bids me compel you to come-in ; bat what can I do except repeat the message of the text, "My son, give me thine heart." Do not be shilly-shallying any longer. Let your heart go one way or the other. If the devil be worth loving, give him your heart, and serve him; but if Christ be worth loving, give him your heart, and have done with hesitation. Turn over to Jesns once for all. Oh, may his Spirit turn you, and you shall be turned, and his name shall have the praise l?Spurgeon Notice 4o Sun-Trustee Stockholders. All the Sub-Trustees of the different Alliances in the County, will please meet in the Court House at Anderson on the first Friday in October, at 10 o'clock, a. m. Be prompt, business of importance demands our attention. John M, Glenn, ^ County Trustee. As Others See TJs. The following is taken from the Hartwell Sun, one of the livest and best weekly pa-, pers published in Georgia. It is edited by John McGill, Esq., formerly of this place. The people of Hart County are indebted to him much more than they may suppose for the progress and prosperity of their community, and if they fail to give him tbat liberal support and encouragement he deserves, they thereby work against their own-interests. If be should leave them it . would be hard to get another such editor: "On last Saturday afternoon the "we" man of the Sun paid a Visit to the city of Anderson for the ?rst time in eight years, returning Monday afternoon. To say that we were amazed at the growth and pro fress of the city would be putting it mildly, t eclipsed our brightest anticipations. The streets were filled .with a hustling crowd and every individual seemed to have resolved himself into a hustler; and as there were 300 bales of cotton sold there Saturday it was not to be wondered at. All of the stores were crowded with eager cus? tomers and the army of clerks were kept in a trot. It was hard to realize that this noisy city with its many magnificent new buildings, constructed after the most artis? tic modern architecture, and with its smart business air, was once the sleepy old town of our boy hood days. Ours was purely a business trip, and it is not our purpose to write up the town at this time. However we will mention the fact tbat this, the most progressive young city of the State, has a steam rotten factory in full blast, with 300 opera: ives, and that their goods rank A 1; an iron foundry; ice factory; water works, elictrio lights; shoe factory, &c., &c ; and to cap it all, the most'superb hotel in the State, the "Chiquola," eqnal to the Kimboll of Atlanta, in everything except dimension. It is an ornament to t?e city and a monument to its enterprising, public-spirited originators. Another new enterprise now about to get under way is a newspaper under the auspices of the County Alliance, to be called "The People's Advocate," a name broad and comprehen? sive enough to embrace every class and calling. Anderson has already two well conducted newspapers, the Intelligen? cer and the Journal and the resources and advantages of the city and surrounding country will not lack for efficient and wide? spread advertising. Our stay was rendered extremely pleasant by the cordial greeting and. open-handed hospitality of many of our old friends. Hurrah for Anderson !? may she go on prospering and to prosper. Belton Items.

In, response to the invitation of Miss Georgia McDavid, there was last Thursday evening an exceedingly pleasant social gathering at the residence of Mr. G. W. McDavid. The Belton Academy opened its fall ses? sion. Monday wilh a good attendance, which will doubtless be soon materially enlarged under Principal Smith's adminis? tration. J. Honea Path Items.

The Reading Circle was re-organized last Friday night. A Chautaaqua Literary Society also will be organized next Monday nigEt. Last Friday afternoon some negroes coming up the Railroad went into the house of Mr. Abner Mattison, who lives near this place, and the family not being at home, took some clothing. As soon as it was discovered the goods had been taken, Mr. Mattison telegraphed to Bel? ton to have the negroes arrested. Tbey were brought back to Honea Path, and on Saturday a preliminary trial was hold. Two were released, and one was sent to Aodersou.to be tried before the next Cir? cuit Court. P. Walker-McElmoyle School. Last Thursday evening, September 10th, we had the pleasure of witnessing the closing exeroises of the summer'session of Walker-McElmoyle school. At 2 o'clock, the hour appointed, the house was filled to -overflowing with the friends and patrons of the school. The exercises were commenced with song and prayer. Then followed an essay, songs, recitations and speeches. Everything moved liked clock work. The children and young peo? ple seemed thoroughly to understand their respective pieces, and when tbey were called for by the Chairman, Master George Blassingame, tbey ascended the rostrum, and, without any prompting, spoke, sang, or recited as though, to them, it were a thing of daily occurrence. It was really refreshing to see the heartiness with which the children engaged in the exercises. Even the little children re? cited their gems and Bang, apparently, without the least embarrassment. There was nothing light or trifling about the whole affair. Care and taste was dis? played in all the selections, and many of the pieces would have done credit to much older pupils. The instrumental music was furnished by Prof. Reeves, who haa been teaching music in the school,'and to whom much of the success of the evening was due. The annual address was delivered by Hon. Charles H. Carpenter, of Pickens. His pleasing and instructive speech was well received by all. The closing scene, though common in some respects, was rather unusual. It was the marriage of Mr. J. R. Newton of Anderson, to the assistant teacher, Miss Lucy Ellis of Pickens. The wedding had been planned as a surprise to the school, but some how the affair leaked out, so when the time came for the bridal party to enter every one was in eager ex? pectation. The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. T. C. O'Dell. This ended a very enjoyable entertain? ment at Walker-McElmoyle. The only drawback to the pleasures of the evening was the oppressive heat which, of course, no one could help. The exercises cer? tainly reflect credit on the teachers, and should be gratifying to the patrons of the school. This community has long been in need of a good and permanent school. This need is now being realized. The Trustees of the Walker-McElmoyle prop? erty have been fortunate in securing the services of Miss Olivia Newton, whose reputation as a teacher is well known to the readers of the Intelligencer. She has gone to work, and is laboring with marked success to build up the school. Daring the last term she had sixty pupils, and the number will, doubtless, be greatly increased by the noxt session. Our people are slow to take hold of a good thing, but they are beginning to appre? ciate the efforts of Miss Newton. They have only to unite in supporting their teacher with their sympathy and patron? age, and tbey will have one of the best schools, of the kind, in the country. All Earents cannot send their children off to oardiog schools, but all who live in reach of Walker-McElmoyle can give their children a good training, and when they entrust them to Miss Newton they may rest assured that they are under the care of a competent, Christian teacher, who will use every means of training them for the duties and responsibilities of life.

Mr. C T. J. Giles, who, for six weeks has been down with fever, is making sure though slow progress toward recovery. Princeton Items. Cotton! cotton! I cotton !!! The fields are just full of it, and yet some think that the crop will be rather short this year. Everything is getting quiet now, since politics have cooled off, and the carapmeet mg at Sandy Springs has closed. By the way, two of our young men, on their way to the campmeeting lastSunday morning, lost a silk umbrella between Pelzer and Beaverdam Church, and that was not the worst of it; they were so bewildered about it that they just drove on, after it began to rain, with a good blanket and oil-cloth in the foot of the buggy, and didn't know it. Won't the finder be kind enough to remove that bewilderment by leaving the umbrella with the Postmaster at Pelzer, or, if not convenient, by dropping the Postmaster a card stating where it can be found. You will be suitably rewarded. Our young friend, W. H. Welborn, who went to Dallas, Texas, a short time ago, writes that he is very well pleased with Dallas, and thinks he will Btay on another year, if not longer. It seems that the greatest curiosity that he has found in Texas, is their hauling off candle flies and insects of all kinds, by the two horse loads, every morning, from the electric lights. Andrew.
