Read their advertisement. j The Southern Farmer gives the follow? ing good advice: "When cotton is so low it is well for the farmer to remember that if be wishes to get the highest prices pos sible he should gather it carefully, and not send it to the gin filled with trash, damp or dirt. Too much care cannot be taken In packing and handling. American cot? ton does not stand high so far as tbe shape in which it is marketed is concerned.'

Capt. E. A. Smythe, President of the Pelzer Manufacturing Company, who has been living in Greenville, has moved to Pelzer for the present. The removal is made necessary by the work now being done in building the third mill at Pelzer, tbe completion of which will make the mills the greatest in tbe South, and rank them far up among the greatest in the world. The building work requires con? stant and immediate attention and super? vision.

The Colonel re? ceived them with his usnal courteous hos? pitality and showed them his fine horses, Jersey cattle, pointer dogs and setters and his game chickens.

The Lowndesville correspondent of the Press and Banner says: ulhere is a lady living near Barnes' Station who has made a quilt which contains 2,000 pieces. Tbis, when finished, will, no doubt, afford tbe maker much pleasure to show to her visitors as an evidence of her taste and in? genuity in the arrangement of so many pieces and economy in tbe saving of scrap?, and then it will be handed down to and preserved by her descendants as a highly prized heirloom."

Pent/leton, S. 0., Oct. 8, 1894. Editors Intelligencer: Forty years is a good long period in one's life, and yet it has been just that long since I, a young man, Bwuug loose from kindred and tbe friends of my youth in the Fork of An? derson County and took up my abode in Alabama, then regarded as pretty far "out West." Scarcely was I Bottled in my new home when the tccsin of war was sounded and I responded to the call to arms, and for four years followed the fortunes of the Southern Confederacy, doing duty in the cavalry service in Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee. Kentucky, Georgia, South Car? olina and North Carolina, until with the remnant of my oommand I was captured at the close of the war near Se!ma, Ala? bama. Once during the war I passed within twenty miles of my old home, crossing the Savannah at Harper's Ferry, but the exactions of military duty forbade my visiting my mother and sisters at the old homestead. I came back here recently to visit rela? tives and friends and the scenes of my boyhood and the changes that meet my eyes are both striking and sad. I find what, of course, in a general way I expect? ed to see that Anderson County has made great strides in all matters of material de? velopment. Tbis is attested by vastly improved farming methods, by the build? ing up of her waste places, necesssitated by a largely increased population; by comely farm houses on every side, the in? evitable result of well-kept farms and by the steady and therefore permanent growth of her towns and villages. Inno place is this fact of material evolution more conspicuously illustrated than in the changes wrought in the old County town, which four decades ago a primitive village, so to speak, of a few hundred people, is now a buBy, bustling city of five thousand population. Space forbids more than a passing allusion to Anderson's advanced and advancing position as a manufactur? ing County, to her superior educational facilities and to the exalted Christian spirit that seems to pervade every phase of ber busy life. All tbis is gratifying, not only to those who live within her bor? ders and are, therefore, part and parcel of it, hot also to those who, erstwhile citi? zens, have returned after a long stretch of years to be greeted with these evidences of ber beauty and her thrift. Father Time has been busy with my old home neighborhood, the Fork. What with cutting down the original forest perhaps wanton?and ridding the land? scapes of the unsightly growth of old field pine, with tbe substitution of at? tractive /arm houses for the old ones, and with tbe displacement of all tbe old Churches by larger and better buildings, the aspect is radically changed. In all this, change is not more apparent than among the people. I find but two men, Jonathan Pickerel], Esq., at 96 and Capt. Dickson at 80, who had reached mature manhood when I went away. Tbe others whom I hastily recall t Henry White, William Palmer, John Bruce, Thomas Bruce, Moses Reed, Turner Osborne, John Coates, Abram Meredith, Abraham Coffin, William King, Anderson King, William Wright, Richardson Tribble, Salathial Brad berry, Thomas Wells, Al? len Bailey, Andy Graham, Jordan Burns, Samuel Brown, John Grubbs, David Sim? mons, James Fant and the Cromers, Eli? jah, Jacob and Lewis, are all gone?all dead. Some days ago in company with my brother, James A. Gantt, of Townville, I went to visit my birth place and the scenes of my boybood, on Little River, in Abbe? ville and the lower edge of Anderson. On land now owned by Mr. Bowen, in Abbe? ville, I found the grave of my great-grand? father, Addison Gantt, who came thevs from North Carolina, and who died in 1807. A singular request that he be buried at the edge of his yard was complied with, and his wife, a Miss Wood, was laid be? side him. Those are the only graves there, and aV traces of the old house are gone. Near by is the old Duncan graveyard, where my grand-father, Frederick Qantl, who died In 1814, is burled. My grand? mother, too, is buried there. In 1S31 my father moved to Crayton ville and remained there thirteen years, removing in 1841 to the Fork, where he died in 1857, at fifty years of age. The only means by which we were enabled to lecate the site of the old home at Cray ton - ville, now a cultivated field, was the dis? covery of the old well. The first school I attended was at Mount Bethel in 1838. Rev. Wilson Ashley, teacher. In 1839 we were put in school at the Big Rock at Craytonville, having for schoolmates the children of Christie Orr?Harvey, Law? rence and Jehu. In after years Harvey and Jehu went to Mississippi. Harvey became a prominent physician and has been dead some years. Jehu is still liv? ing at Columbus, Miss. Like his brother, Lawrence, he became a lawyer of distinc? tion, and for a long time was a Judge of recognized ability. On this trip I took occasion to visit the grave of my uncle, Hezekiab Wakefield, who has a son, Jas. M. Wakefield, an honored citizen of Columbus, Miss. Our wanderings brought us Into the homes of P. B. Griffin, Cenie Robinson, Emily Robinson, a daughter of the late Rev. George Bigby, and Hugh Robinson, whose hospitality abounded and with whom we spent happy moments of social inter? course. We Bpent a night with Mr. George Long, the friend and army com? rade of my brother, and found him full of j chut and business. Saturday. 29ih Sep? tember, we passed on to the Union Meet? ing at Cross Roads, to which my brother was a delegate. We were assigned to the home of Mr. Elias John Earle, who, with his interesting family, made our stay very pleasant, indeed. I have written more than I Intended when I set out, and I could say even more, but I desist. Very respectfully, Wm, M. Gantt. From Arkansas. Locksdukgh, Abk., Sept. 27,1894. Editors Intelligencer: It has been about a month since I, with my family, left Anderson, but it seems a longer time than that. We enjoyed the views from Mobile to New Orleans very much, in? deed. In New Orleans we spent one day, during which we visited the markets, St. John's Cathedral, the statutes of Henry Clay, R. E. Lee and Mother Margaret, the Charity Hospital, the Orphan Asylum, founded by "Mother Margaret," the parks and other places of interest. Daring our entire trip we were accom? panied by or preceded by rain, and con? sequently were not troubled with dust. Our arrival at this place was not delayed by any failure to make the regular connec? tions. We stopped an afternoon and night In Tezarkana, where we did some shopping and met !>?. John Brown, spe? cialist, son of Dr. E. M. Brown. He is a very promising young doctor. Crops along the way were not as good as in Anderson Connty, as we saw them from the train. We were the guests of Mr. A. C. Wardlaw for several days after our ar? rival. Finally we secured a very com? fortable cottage, and are conveniently and comfortably located. We have a well of good water. The people of Locksburgb are the moat hospitable people I ever met. Since onr arrival we have been supplied with vegetables, each as cabbage, beans, sweet and Irish potatoes, &o., as much as we could use, Locksburgh's boast is of good morals and religion, and she has a right to boast of these. The crops in this County are good. Corn will sell at thirty and forty cents per bushel, pork at five cents per pound net, beef at four and five cents per pound. Here the Democrats are Democrats, and the Populists are Populists, and go under their own name. But the Populists have no chance of success. The people know that Democracy is their only hope, and have sense enough not to censure a party until it has a fair chance. I heard a joint Twelve-Horse farm to Sent Iwill rent my entire Farm another year to one or more good men who have stock of their own. It is in Wilkes Coun? ty, Georgia, and 13 miles of Elberton, Ga., and is the best improved place in the Coun? ty. Write to BEN. A. NEAL, Elberton, Ga. Oct 10, 1k94 IP 3 discussion between the Populists and Democrats here, and it was so like a discussion in South Carolina between the Tillmanites and the Democrats (Conserva? tives). I, and not only I, but all the South Carolinians here, are delighted to see tbe Democrats trying to divorce them? selves from the Populists In the dear old Palmetto State. This should have been done at the beginning. Tbe Democrats of Arkansas will greatly rejoice to see South Carolina again in the hands of tbe Demo? crats in fact as well as in name. Here the Populist is regarded as more danger? ous to the Democracy than tbe Republi? cans, but with almost no chance of suc? cess. It really makes one politically sick to bear tbe Democrats of other States laughing at the Democracy of South Caro? lina. Every lover" of South Carolina should join in tbe efforts to overthrow Populism in the State, and to down Till mun?tbe worst enemy 8outh Carolina ever had. I hope she will never raise another such?boo shall I call him? Is he worthy to be called a son of South Car? olina? Every white man should desire tbe unity of the people on the Democratic platform. The outside world now regards South Carolina as out of tbe Democratic ranks. 1 have not changed my former impres? sion of this country. It is easier to make a living here, and the prospect for seeing one's children settled in homes of their own is brighter here than in the Eastern States. Land is very cheap and fertile. We need the fence law and hope to have it in a few years at, farthest. One who can reaoh here with $1000 caa get a good home and supply himself with a full set of farm? ing implements and stock. The working man gets more for his labor here tbaa in the older settlements. Oar school opened with over 200 pupils, and has a bright future for good. It is thoroughly graded. Mr. T. C. Watt got right badly hurt by his mules running away with him this woek. His injuries are dangerous. C. W. "When Baby was sick, -we gave her Castoria. "When sho was a Child, sho cried for Castoria.
