Squire Fewell offers a good suggestion to the citizens of our live city in reference to bnilding a large wheat mill here. As he says, it would not require much capi? tal, and no doubt it could be made a pay? ing investment. Married, on Sunday, October 7, 1894, 8t the residence of Mr. J. H. McLeon, near Aehville, N. C, by Rev. Mr. Hunnicutt, Mr. R. L. McLeon, of North Carolina, and Miss Johnnie J. Keaton, daughter of Mrs. Emily Keaton, of Anderson County, S. C. Mr. J.

Gossett & .'Brown, the live ehoe dealers, are going to give away $50 in gold to their patrons. They have a new advertisement, which will explain particulars.

As long au a pound of cotton would buy a pound of bacon there was a slight excuse for planting cotton so extensively; but now when it takes two pounds of ootton to boy one of bacon, it does seem that more attention ought to be bestowed on corn and hog producing.

C, in a few days, in which one of Hart well's universally popular young men and one of Hart county's most prom? ising young planters will wed two of the Palmetto State's charming daughters sisters. Georgia seems to get tho best of South Carolina every time." The Atlanta Constitution of last Monday says: "Colonel Sylvester Bleckley and wife, of Anderson, S. C, are at the Mark ham house. Colonel Bleckley Is the brother of Chief Justice Bleckley and is one of the wealthiest and best citizens of South Carolina. Mrs. Bleckley, who is a near relative of the late ex-Governor Ham? mond, of South Carolina, is one of the grandest women in the south." Tho Marion Star, of the 10th inst., Bays: "It is a little strange that cotton buyers in the upper part of the State, particularly in Anderson, should pay bo much more for cotton than those in this seotion of tbe State, Surely, the dfference in staple can't make' such a difference in the prices paid in tho two sections!" Anderson is a live town, brother, and has a live set of cotton buyers and merchants. They not only pay big prices for cotton, but sell goods cheaper than they can be bonght in any city. Now that the 8npreme Conrt has again passed upon the Dispensary law, we give the same advice that we did when the Court made its former decision, that is obey the law. We want peace in South Carolina, and hope the people will not patronize either dispensaries or "blind tigers." The Act of 1893 ia now the law, and it makes no difference how obnoxious it is, all law-abiding people should obey it The Atlanta Journal, of the 10th inst., says: "Dr. George T. Brown has been called to Belton, Sooth Carolina, on a sad mission, the illness of relatives. He re? ceived a telegram a few days ago summon? ing him to the bedside of his little son and of his brother, both of whom are suffering with typhoid fever. Dr. Brown has many friends who are hoping for the best and trusting that he may find both son and brother better when be reaches them." Easley Democrat says: "Miss Leola Rus? sell, who has been spending the summer with relatives and friends in South Caro? lina, is visiting the editor of the Democrat this week. Next week she will visit rela? tives in Dalonega, Georgia, and on the 24th inst. expects to bid adieu to this portion of the country and return to her home near Paris, Texas. Her grandfather, Major Thomas H. Russell, will accompany her He expects to spend the winter in Texas." Walter L. Main's big circus and menag? erie is heading this way and will soon ap? pear in Anderson, the route agent having visited the city last Friday. A report has gone out that the circus will not exhibit In the city, as the city charter required a license of not less than $500. The city charter at onetime required a license of not less than $300, but that was eliminated when the charter was last amended, and all license fees are in the discretion of the Mayoi and his Cabinet. Rev. S. L. Wilson, of Abbeville County, Sreached in the Presbyterian Church last unday morniDg and evening, and bis sermons were both interesting and in? structive. After the morning service a meeting of the congregation was held to elect a pastor. Out of a voting member? ship of nearly 400 members, 138 members participated In the election, of which Rev. W. T. Mathews, of Greenwood, received , 103, and which was subsequently increased to 115. Mr. Mathews will therefore be called. About half past 7 o'clock Monday even- | ing Dr. A. C. Strickland came near having a serious fire at his residence on Depot Street. A lamp had been lighted and placed on the mantle piece. In a short I time afterwards the burner had melted off j and the oil ignited, causing an explosion. The lamp fell to the floor and a small can of gasoline caught fire, which created a considerable blaze. At this juncture the fire alarm sounded and the firemen re? sponded promptly, but before tbey reached the house the names had been extinguish? ed. The damage waB slight. We are indebted to onr young friend, E. R. Cox, formerly of Belton, but now a popuiiar merchant of Darlington, S. G, for a handsome and unique paper weight souvenir. The weight is made of heavy glass aud contains a fine picture of the Prize Squad of the Darlington Gnard, the whole surmounted by a fine miniature picture of Miss Annie Williamson, the sponsor of ihe Guards. Mr. Cox is a mem? ber of this squad, which has won five first [>rizes in Company drills at various places n the State. The squad is a fine looking body of young gentlemen. The "Fancy Tea" given last night by the Young Ladiea* Aid Society, of the Presby? terian Church, was a big success, and every person who patronized the ladies enjoyed the occassion. A pretty easel picture, which had been donated to the Society by several young gentlemen, with the request that it be presented to the young lady who would receive the greatest number of votes, at 5 cents a vote, was one of the interesting features of the evening. There were nearly 140 votes cast during the evening, and Miss Maggie Fretwell, having received the highest number of votes, was presented the picture. Mm. Ann Bonbam, .widow of the late ex-Governor Bonbam, and mother of our townsman, General M. L. Bonbam, died in Columbia last Thursday afternoon. Her death was not unexpected, as she had been in faili jg health for some time. Mrs. Bonham was a daughter of Nathan L. Griffin, of Edgefield, one of the most Srominent lawyers of the State in his day. be was the mother of fourteen children, eight of whom are living. She was a most excellent Christian woman, and bad long been a faitbfnl member of the Baptist Church. We join the many friends of General Bonbam in tendering him our sympathy in his sore bereavement. On Tuesday evening, 9:h inst. at 8 o'clock, a very pretty wedding occurred in the Baptist Church, at Belton, S. C, the con? tracting parties being Miss Stella Mitchell and Mr. Ernest Geer. Rev. Dr. Charles Manly performed the ceremony. The at? tendants were Miss Corrie Poore and Mr. Benjamin Geer, Miss Rosa Poore and Dr. Bo wen, Miss Mallie Geer and Mr. Walter Cox. After the ceremony the wedding party repaired to the home of the groom, where a reception wao tendered the happy conple. The bilde is one of Belton's most excellent yonng ladies, and is a favorite wherever she is known. Mr. Geer is a popular and worthy young man, and is fortunate in his selection of a wifa. May happiness and profptrlty attend the couple throughout life. To morrow night Governor Bob Taylor will deliver his lecture, "Visions and Dream?," in the Opera House. The press every where Is unanimous in its praise of this, his latest effort, and competent critics consider it the best of all his subjects. Did you ever hear Governor Taylor deliver one of bis lecture*? The audience seems to be transfixed by the eloquent passages, beautiful word paintings and thrilling pathos which flows so evenly from the mouth of Governor Taylor, and when he winds up the lecture the audiences seem loth to leave the theater, for the gifted Bpeaker has transported his hearers to another world so complete is his power to Bmuse and to interest. Tickets are now on sale at Russell & Breazeale's. Mrs. Mary Williams, a native of Pickens County, but who has been living in this city for some time with her son, Mr. J. M Williams, died last Sunday, aged about 70 years. On Monday her remains were in? terred in Silver Brook cemetery, after ap? propriate funeral services in the Methodist Church, conducted by Rev. G. P. Watson, assisted by Rev. H. S. Abbott. During the early summer Mrs. Williams was sick with fever, but she had recovered and was able to walk about the bouse, but she never regained her usual health, and grad? ually weakened until death claimed her as its victim. She bad long been an exemp? lary member of the Methodist Church. She realized her condition and was con scions to the last moment. Just before she drew her last breath, she uttered these words, "Glory to Jesus." Mr. WilllaniB is the only survigning member of her family. Mrs. Harriett Williams Horton, wife of Mr. John C. Horton, of Pendleton Town? ship, died on Friday, 12th inst., in the sixty-seventh year of her age, after a pro? tracted illness of several months from the effects of the grip. She bore her afilictions with Christian fortitude and patience, rest ing her hope in the love of Christ. Her connection as a consistent member of the Baptiat Church existed for twenty five years. Mrs. Horton was a daughter of the late Manning Vandiver, who removed from this County to Fayette, Ala., before the war. She was the object of a devoted family's affections, who deeply mourn the loss of one who was bo loving, kind and tender, and always ready to speak a kind, encouraging word to those around her. She had a large circle of friends and rela? tives, all of whom will long cherish her memory. This loving wife and devoted mother leaves an aged husband and five sons to mourn her death, but in their bereavement tbey have the consolation of knowing that she i3 now at rest with that Saviour whom she loved to serve in this world of trial and trouble. On last Satur? day her remains were interred at tbe old Vandiver graveyard, near Neal's Creek Church, after appropriate services conduct? ed by Rev. P. J. M. Osborne. ^Lebanon Items. We have some boss cotton pickers around here. Dr. J. G. Duckworth is preparing to have water forced to his house from a small branch. Mr. Lern Welborn has the largest hog we have seen thi6 year.

Mr. Joe Doutbet is having a dwelling house built in this neighborhood, and we are glad to know that he is going to move among us.

If you want some fine Photos give him a call, and don't wait until the last. 17-4 Squire Fewell's tetter. When we see and bear what our criticis? ing friends write and say about us, it brings to mind these lines of Burns: "o, wad some power the glftle gie us, To sec our;els as others sees us! It wad froe uionie a blunder freous," etc. And so it would, for if we could only see ourselves as others see us, we might leave undone a great many things that we do, and do some other things that we do not do, and, on tbe other side of tbe ques? tion, if our critics could see as we do it might be that they would not criticise us so freely. Mr. " Pedro," (I don't know whether he is Dossa Pedro. Emperor of Brazil, or not) thinks this scribe is very proud of being called a "great adviser." So he is. I am proud of any big name my friends give me. dome lellow called me an "old moss-back anti," and that was all correct, for I have been anti to all such tomfoolery as Till manism tbat we have had for the last few years?long enough for the moss to grow on a turtle's back, and I reckon tbat is what is meant by tbe appellation. I don't know who Mr. "Pedro" is, but I suppose be is a defeated sore-head, or close a-kin to one who was defeated in the late primary? may be he will voto and go with us "old moss-backs" next time. We made a very pleasant visit to Pickens on last Saturday, our objective point being near Central. We took in tbat nourishing little town on our trip. To Bay tbat Cen? tral is a nourishing little town, is putting it very mildly, when we take Into consider? ation the vim and push of tbe inhabitants of that place. I don't see why Central should not be one of the leading cities of the Piedmont belt in this State, if natural advantages in beauty of location count for anything. With a few more such enter? prising citizens as they now have to help them, Central would soon make its mark in this State as one of tbe leading commer? cial, as well as educational centers. They have now a high school which is second to none in the State. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Daniel, of Laurens, who is the principal, who said that he had 170 pupils enrolled for the present session, which I think is a very good school for a town of 396 inhabitants, according to tbe last census, but I should think they have 5C0 now. But contrary to the teachings of Governor Tillman, tbe town and country people are in harmony with each other, especially on tbe subject of a superior edu? cation for their children, for tbat is what tbey are getting under the management of Professor Daniel and their well selected board of trustees. Professor Daniel is also one of tbe editors and proprietors of a neat and well-gotten-up little newspaper, called The Central Tyro, which means a Novice? a beg'nner?one just initiated. Tbe Central people are justly proud of their town, their school, and their newsy little newspaper. Fine crops was the general talk of every one we met. We spent Saturday night with Mr. J. H. Balentine, who lives a mile from Central and runs a beef market in to we r he is also one of the board of true tees of the High School at Central. Mr. I Baleotine is an Anderson county boy?bo | ar? several others in and around Centra], and I reckon that accounts in a part for our pride in her progress. If having every? thing that is good to eat in abundance, with every convenience in and around a house that is needed, is any indication of a person doing well, then those people of Pickens county with whom we had thep!ersure of visiting, are doing well. Pickens county is without a doubt one among tbe best connties in the State. Of course Ander? son county is at the bead of the list. . We had a light frost here on Saturday morning, but I don't bear of any damage being done by tbe frost. I would advise all to pull tbe late fodder as soon as it will barely do, for frost might come upon ue unawares. It is a good time to sow a few oats now, and later on sow wheat. We ought to raise ali the wheat we need for home consumption, but I don't think it will pay to raise wheat here for market, but we can raise enough for home con? sumption, as we can get as good flour now from onr home raised wheat as we can buy at tbe stores. Messrs. Nesbitt, Trow bridge & Co., of Piedmont, have lately put up a first-class roller mill at Cedar Falls, iu Greenville county, where we can exohange our wheat for aa high grade flour as we can buy. This is one of tbe best things for tbe farmers tbat we have had in some time?it is the "farmers' movement" In the right direction. It looks like some oi our own county citizens could do likewise. Greenville County has two sush mills, with a prospect of another one. Such a mill at Anderson would be a good investment for the city, as well as the surrounding coun? try. Think of it, some of you monied men?"gold bugs." It will only cost from five to six or seven thousand dollars. Do this and keep tbe money at home tbat goes abroad to buy the fifty thousand barrels of flour that it would take to do us if we only consumed a barrel of flour to each inhabi? tant. J. 0. Haynea has moved Mr. Donny's jewelry store down and across Main street in Piedmont and it now stands opposite F. E. McKinzie, Sons & Co. Soon there will be erected by the side of Mr. Donny's store a larger and more commodious build? ing for the Doctors Richardson to occupy for tbeir increasing business in drugs, etc. Jas. B. Marshall & Co. will occupy the room now occupied by the Messrs. J. M. and N. T. Bichardson. So it will be seen that our own home town is making some progress as well as other and smaller towns are. This shows what a little energy with a little capital will do. Today (Monday) has been a steady rainy day?just enough to keep the cotton and peas too wet to pick. Crops are generally good in this seotion, bat cotton pickers are scarce and hard to get. Squire Fewell. October 8,1894. Towuvllle Locals. We have beautiful weather for gathering cotton. Cotton is no higher in Townville than it is in Anderson this time. A little negro child on J. B. Burgess' place 'was shot last Saturday night by a five-year old negro boy, and will probably die. A pistol was left on the bed and the boy while playing with it, shot the child in tbe head. Miss Mattie McCarley has opened a ladies' store in Townville.

The recitations of the children were perfect, and the collect? ion amounted to something over $20 00. The Baptist Church at this place has called Rev. J. F. Singleton to preach for them another year. Our good friend Mrs. H. T. Brown, is still in very feeble health. She ia about 85 years old and has always been a great stay in her Church, ^ Old Rosin De Bow. October 9, im. Alice Items.

H. R. BARMORE, Ex'r. Oct17,1894 17 5 A Dream of the Ages 2 The recent and sudden growth of the Jewish population in Palestine is bailed in many quarters as the beginning of the realization of the dream of centuries, the first practical step toward the restoration of the Jews to their ancient lands. The movement has undoubtedly assumed sur? prising strength. It 1b estimated that in the past seven years over 1,000,000 Jews have entered Palestine from other countries, and the uumber is increasing at a rapid rate yearly. The idea of a reconquest of Pal? estine and the re-establishment of a Jew? ish Kingdom in Jerusalem has been held to by the race through long centuries of persecution. It was promised by their prophets, and, like other prophecies, it lends to its own fulfilment. The social and political treatment to which the race has been subjected has doubtless fixed it only more firmly in their belief, and spurred the hope into action at the first opportunity. ? Sentiment is a powerful factor in Hie, yet it is not probable that the movement now in progress is going to result in the settlement of the bulk of the Jewish race on the soil of their forefathers. The hundred thousand Jews may multiply to a million by immigration, and Jewish wealth and enterprise may break down the barriers raised by a jealous and des? potic Government, overcome the difficul? ties set by nature, and make Palestine and Syria a strong Jewish community. But there are something over 7,000,000 Jews in the world. There are nearly 500,000 in the United States. In most of the civilized lands they hold wealth and power, and in many they are assimilated in thought and custom to the people among whom they live. It is not to be supposed that the race instinct will be strong enough to call the Jews from the comfort they enjoy in America and England, for instance, to take their place in the regeneration of Palestine. The Jew who is despised and mobbed and robbed in Russia and Aus? tria, and other lands where prejudice rules, may long to get back to the home of his fathers, and will go there when the means are provided. But it is not to be expected that the men who. join the colonization Bcheme from America and Western Europe will form more than a small body of enthusi? asts. The Kinship of Christians* New Haven, Oct. 14.?Prof. W. C. Robinson of the Yale law school, and Justice Simeon E. Baldwin of the Con? necticut Supreme Court, to-night in the United Church (Congregational) discuss? ed "the mutual relations of the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches." The church was crowded. The professor's argument was altogether on the same lines as his paper read before the Uni ver? g?llst convention at Saratoga a few weeks ago and covered the topic from the Ro? man Catbolio standpoint. Justice Bald? win, in replying, dwelt briefly upon the point on which the churches differed from the time of Henry VIII to thfl present day. In dosing Justice Baldwin said: "Our enemies are its enemies. The great danger to Republican govern? ment in America comes from two sour? ces?the spread of anarchy and the incor? poration into our society of masses of foreigners unfamiliar with our institu? tions and ignorant of the necessary limits of liberty. Against both these forces the Roman Catholics are our best allies. It ia full time for all Christian men to pull together in warfare with the bad of the world. Our differences are as nothing compared to the points on which we agree and it will be the fault of the American Protestant if he does not welcome and solicit the support of Catholic ohurches on every question of ethics and morality." ?
