On last Saturday five hundred and "ninety-six bales of cotton were sold on .the streets of Anderson. Of this number ' -flvo hundred and ninety-five bales were new cotton. The prices paid varied as to different grades, but the cotton mado a splendid average and usually sold at about 8J cents. | Some was sold at 8i. Nearly 825,000 must have changed ^ hands by the sale of this cotton. Every? body, was in good spirits, and many a ' heart beat merrily to the jingle .of the 5 dollar in the pocket, i Let it be remembered that the Saturday previous was a red letter day, too, in the handling of cotton in this market. For these two Saturdays there was a differ .. ence of only one bale in the number sold 's and prices were about the same. For the two days, then, one thousand one hun? dred and ninety-one bales woro sold. ? That means that not far from ?50,000 ?were put into circulation in these two days on our streets. That's surely a re? cord to be proud of. We risk nothing in ^saying that Anderson city is the largest -/.cotton market in the up-country, and that she pays higher prices for cotton than any other city in the State, Charleston only excepted. The number of buyers in this market is large, and most of the cotton bought is shipped direct to manufacturers. We can now recall the following buyers, and out of this number the seller can hardly fail /io get for his cotton all it is worth: : E. W. Brown & Sons. Brown Bros. Bleekley <fc Fretwell. Kay& Baker. McColly & Catbcart. J. P. Sullivan. J. Feaster Brown. . J. S. Fowler. James Burgess. ?Jj?. E. Watkins, (for Piedmont mills.) McBrayer. (for Walker, Fleming] & "-?Sloan, Spartanburg.) Thompson Breazeale, (for R.. T. Few ell.) Better men for cotton weighers than L. P. Smith and W. T. W. Harrison could "not have been selected. They may be depended on to do the square thing at all times, and take pleasure in being accom? modating to all who have business with .them. ~~ : The combination of circumstances that 5 is necessary to make a good cotton mar? ket may be found here, viz., the highest ; prevailing prices, a large number of buy? ers whps^ interest it is to*ee that no cot .ton oeUs for less than it is worth, accom ;;modatinfS weighers and a brisk demand ?for cotton. Another prime consideration ?is that;this city offers f?r sale everything, r^we suppose, a person would want to buy, so that it is not only a good market to sell in, hut is also a capital place for trading .of all kinds. ? The moral is : Sell and buy in Ander? son. . The following table shows the receipts of cotton at this place for the weeks end? ing September 26, and October 3, of this year, and for the corresponding weeks of Jlastyjar*together with the total receipts np to October 3,1891 and October 4, 1890]: /Number of bales for week ending * September 26', 1891. 1571 ^Number of bales for week ending "October 3,1891.;... 1752 Nuniber of bales previously receiv? ed. 682 Total numbor of bales received to October 3,1891..:. 4005 Nuniber of bales lor week ending , September 27,1890.... 719 umber of bales for week ending Octobers 1890..... 1163 umber of bales previously receiv 1 number of bales received to October 4,1890. ..'. 4008 WEBUE'S HISTOBV OF S. C. Wo havo received and read a "History of South Carolina" compiled and arrang? ed by John Langdon Weber, School Commissioner of Charleston County. It a neat little volume containing 201 pages and is divided into 50 chapters. It la intended for use among primary pu? pils. Necessarily, the history of our State ginnst be greatly condensed to bo ombrac . ediaso small a volume. But there-are ,... a number of subjects that are passed with ^.Scarcely a notice that deserved it more tbaajsome that receive considerable at? tention. Only a' out fourteen pages are c?&' devoted to the part performed by South Carolina's patriotic citizens and gallant '?' soldiers in the war between the States, .while over twice that space is given to the . Revolutionary War. No mention is made of "Our Women in the War," who surely deserve a chapter for tbe trying part they heroically bore. The History seems to bo fairly well "? " adapted to primary pupils until it com ;: mences the reconstruction period. From -. . that to the end of the work, which gives the result of last year's elections, we think a teacher would find it an undesir? able text book. For instance, the names of all U. S. Senators and Congressmen, and in some cases the defeated candidates 'for Congress, are given with a precision that would lead one to believe that every Congressman and every defeated candi? date had shone as stars equal cO the illus \ trious Calhoun in South Carolina's histo * ry. What sane teachor would want pu? pils to memorize tho names of all tho I : Congressmen that have represented South Carolina since she became a State ? And of what historical importance is it to know *i. the names qf men who have tried to bc |K come Congressmen, Governor, Judges, % and havo failed ? If that is the price v to be paid for getting one's name in his? tory it is easily paid, for It is not hard to become a defeated candidate for any of? fice. While th e history is a very readable book from first to last, and highly interesting as a whole, a serious objection to it is that it recites much that does not rise to tho dignity and importance of history, and which, therefore, no teacher would caro to have pupils to learn as a part of tho " History of tho Palmetto State. ? THE EXPENSE OF GOVERNMENT. Some very interesting statistics in regard to tho government's account with the people aro published by Edward At? kinson in tho current issue of tho Forum. The total amount of tho normal cost of the government proper of tho United States for tho fiscal year ending June 30, 1889, was 8146,478,144. These expenses in? cluded the entire cost of the civil sorvico and of the military establishment, includ? ing fortifications and river and harbor improvements, and of tho navy, includ? ing appropriations for tho construction of new vessels. This entire amount, how jLpver, great though it is, is covered by the i"' dutles>3[bJch were paid on liquors and I tobacco. The amount of this revenue was 148,883,788 I It will be seen, therefore, that wero it j not for tho war and its accompanying I train of burdens, the entire expenses of our government could be met by the taxes on liquor aud tobacco alone. Tho tables indicate that sinco 1S71 tho revenue from this sourco has increased more in proportion than the increaso of population. Tho other items of expense and revenue for tho year ending June 30,1889, will al? so bo of interest. The expenses are: Indian account. ?G,802,207 Interest on public debt. 41.001,484 Arrears of pensions settled.... 21,442,341) Current of annual pensions...

Judgo Witherspoon recently said, in speaking of the recom? mendation of the Grand Jury as to the building of a new Court House for this County, that the reputation Anderson County bore abroad for progress and en? terprise seemed to be well sustained, ex? cept as to her Court House", which was not in keeping with the dignity and pro gressiveness of the spirit that pervades the whole County. How far short of comfort and convenience tho present building falls, every juror, every witness, every Court official, every visitor, that goes there on business or from curiosity can testify. Grand Juries havo not failed to recognize the urgent need for this im? provement, and have time and again re? commended that tho County build a new Court Housei The court room is too small to accommodate the crowd that frequently goes there. Tho offices of tho County officials are scarcely adequate for the transaction of the business of each office, or for the preservation of the County's record. Tho Treasurer, School Commissioner and County Commission? ers aro entirely crowded out of the Court House, and the County has to pay rent for offices for them in various parts of the city. The County needs a modern and convenient house for the transaction of her business, aud it would be a genuine reform movement to build a house that would bo comfortable and convenient and adequate for the purposes for which it was intended. Mr. Simpson Says tin Alliance Is Steadily Increasing. Topeka, Kan,, Oct. 2.?Jerry Simpson says that the Alliance vote among the far? mers in Kansas is increasing, but slowly, since last year. Tho principal gains have been in the cities and towns where the citizens' alliance has* been at work this year. He estimates the increase at 20 per cent, over last year. Speaking of the negroes in the south he said: "They aro flocking to us in the South. .1 believe' that this movement is the solu? tion of tie race probloin. It divides the colored as well as tho white vote of the South. If it does nothing else it will do that much good at least. Tho old fight ! between the blacks and whites will be broken ; the blacks will take issue with each other in politics the same as the whites. That's what they ought to do. | The linos are closer drawn in the south than here. Everything divides on the sub-treaaury scheme. It is either endors? ed or opposed by every man in the south.' "How many members has tho alliance iu the United States?" "In thirty eight State? aud territories we havo 4,000,000 members." "And do you expect to have a uational ticket in '92. Who will head it ?" "O, Lord, I don't know. Some farmer now unheard of may spring up and Srove himself the right man for tho place, ust at present the only men in sight are Weaver and Folk." Grover and the Baby. New York, October 3.?A daughter was born to Mrs. Grover Cleveland shortly after midnight. Tho mother and daugh? ter are doing well. The important news did not become known down town until nearly noon. Then it spread witb the utmost rapidity, both.in the city and to other parts of tho country. Luring the afternoon many flowers were sent into Mrs. Cleveland and both father and mother received hearty congratulations. Then messengor boys began to move up the avenue with telegraphic messages from all parts of the country. Ex-President Cleveland was evidently a pleased man when seen about the recent addition to his household. Ho received the press representatives in the drawing room, aud anticipating the ques? tion that wou Id be asked him, said: "Yes, it is true. My wife was safely delivered of a littlo girl this morning at six minutes past midnight and both mother and child aro doing splendidly. Mrs. Cleveland has rested quietly all day. The child is strong and healthy and at its birth weighed eight pounds." The ex-President js quoted as saying: "I don't want to brag any, but this'baby now is as stout and as good as most babies are when they are tbreo or four days old." Bitten by a Kitten. ! Camjen, N. J., October 1.?Mrs. Goo. I C. Biglor, wife of a well-known organist, and former compositor on a Philadelphia morning paper, came near dying from lockjaw, caused by the bite of a cat. She is not yet entirely out of danger and has suffered untold agony. Mrs. Bigler was playing with a small kitten on August 12, and one of ita tiny teeth was fastened in tho forefinger of her right hand. As the wound was but a small one and healed very rapidly Mrs. Bigier thought uoth jug about it, but went on with her householddutics. In about four weeks, however, symp toms_pf blood poisoning set in und Mrs. Bigler'si finger and hand became swollen aud inflamed. She consulted Dr. T. G. Robinson, and was at first uuablo to ac? count for tho trouble. Then she happen? ed to thiuk of tho cat bite, and when she suggc-sed that as a cause, Dr. Bobin? son vys alarmed and ordered Mrs. Big? lor homo aud began assidious efforts to arrest tho disease, which had already as? sumed a threatening aspect. Mrs. Bigler's hand aud arte swelled rapidly, in spito of tho vigorous efforts of her physician. Tho inflammation was great aud tho pain excruciating. Bho was unable to sleop, but lay tossing on hov bed crying out in agony hour afu-r hour. Twice tho dread symptoms of lockjaw appeared. There was a stiffening of tho glands oi* tho neck, a partial locking of tlio jaws aud tho sutiferer's friends were fear? ful that death would ensue. Her physi? cian stayed tho progress of this malady and tho unfortunate woman's lite was saved. Twelve Acres to the Mule. Union, S. C, Oct. 3.?A meeting c* the j farmers of Fish Dam township was heid j last Saturday at Carlisle. A good num ber of farmers were present, both white \ and black. Tho object of tho raoetiug was a general discussion of tho ''ten-acres- j in-cotton plan." Tho meeting was a f good ono and full of interest. J. O. Rico was elected chairman and a spirited dis? cussion for and asainst the ton-acre plan onsued. It was very apparent that every one was in favcr of decreasing tho acre? age in cotton and increasing that of grain. The only point of discussion was tho number of acres that it would bo bost to cultivate. Twelve acres was finally agreed on; every member pledging 'himself not to plant over that amount, in cotton, to tho plow, next year.?Correspondence Greenville News. A Clcmson for Alabama. V.tJiMlNfiiTAM, ALA., October 1.?Tlio ?will of tbo Hon. Merit Street, a prominent and wealthy citizen of Clay County, has boon probated. In it ho provides for founding an industrial school for boys and girls, setting asido for that purpose lour hundred and twenty acres of land in Clay County, v/ith money to erect tho necessary buildings. Ho also provides an endow? ment fund to pay teachers, and provides that all pupils shall work so many hours per day. All tho proceeds of tho farm and work? shops are to go to tho endowment fund. It is tho most important bequest ever made to tho cause of education by a pri? vate individual in Alabama. Mr. Street boro tho general reputation of being a close, hard man in money matters, and his bequest comes in the nature of a grat? ifying surprise. Sam Jones .Summoned before a (iraud Jury. A dispatch from Homo, < ;.a., September 20th, says: ''Two subpoenas calling upon tho liov. .louos and Sam Small to appear before tho grand jury now in session for Fl(>yd County were issued to-day or yes? terday. Judgo Maddox in his charge suggested that any ono who knew so mi ch as Sam Jones might impart his knowledge to the jury. Tho jury took him at his word and tho two Sams must appear. That tho source of Mr. Jones' information may not bo wanting several of tho leading members of tho Methodist Church from whom it is supposed the evangelist obtained it aro also subprenrod to appear. It will bo a lively time. Those whoso wa}'s aro dark and whoso deeds aro evil may well tromblo at tho prospect. If all the charges brought by Sam Jones during his last stay in Home aro true then Floyd County must rent houses for crim? inals. Whether Sam Jones knows or guesses at what he says, is what tho jury intends to find out." He Talked Too Much. A certain well-known physician of tho South sido, says the St. Louis Republic, was the victim of his own "previousucss" tho other day. Ho had successfully treat? ed a wealthy lady's daughter for diphthe? ria, and che lady was extremoly grateful for it. When tho child was thoroughly well mother and daughter appoarcd at the physician's office Tho little girl shyly handed the physician a neat Tittle knit purse, while tbo lady went on to say, "For having saved my child, doctor, I want to present you with this purse." "J3ut," said tho physician, after an em barassing pause, "I havo sent you a bill for ?300.'' Tho lady flushed, then said quietly, "Let mo havo tho purse, please." Sho took two $100 bills out of it and re? turned it to him with the remark : "There aro ?300 in there now, so your bill is paid," and left the room. Now tho doctor is cursing his clumsy tongue for tho bad break U made. That little speech cost him just $200. All Sorts of Paragraphs. ?
