The old gentleman owned 270 aorea of land, two negroes and a lot of pereooal property.

Boone, who is at the head of the proposed railroad from Tennessee via the Rabun Gap to Anderson : " The question naturally arises, cau Col. Boone accom? plish all he proposes? Those who know him answer, Jf properly supported, yet), emphatically yes, his past achievement a say yes. Those that know him beat, know that he has not a superior in conducting large enterprises successfully, in which Is involved the expenditure of vast sums of money. His success in controlling largs sums of money in building railroads and other publioimprovements is phenomlnal. The citizens of East Tennessee, as well as those along the line to Port Royal, need have no fears, if supported, but that Col. Boone will carry the proposed enterprise through to success. All hall to our Cham? ber of Commerce, noting the fact that the busy scenes of the past are abont to be re enacted, and their prompt action indicates to the people that they do not propose the Marble City shall be left out."

Well, Mr. Editor, everything is so muddy np here we can't travel around far enough to find any important news. Notwith? standing all this, things and people are on a boom. But little effort is being made toward the laying in of guano, but home fertilizers are seen at most every farm, and the place to find farmers these muddy, rainy days is in the field* and lo's, making and sav? ing tbe good old time manure. Cotton will not be King np here, but all contem? plate planting a few seed, more or less. And by tbe way, we have seeu some few wearing tbe good old home-made jeans, all striped up in the gayest of colors, which is very odd. but there being much luting good in same shows one Item of economy. We are under the impression that times will be much better in tbe near futnre, for sorely tbe South will go up after the mov? ing of Northern machinery, and the man nfactoring of our own production, and middlemen's profit, and will enable more of tbe idle class of people to get work at a fair price. We find a great number of people have gone into tbe plan of ordering their goods, supplies, etc., from tbe manufacturers and save a large per cent. We are trying to devise some plan of get? ting the newspaper borrowers to pay for ?heir reading. We can't Ret tbem to sob scribe, and we are not able to pay for the subscription for all those that borrow. 80, Mr. Editor, what are we to do? and brother correspondents let u? bave your ??pinion, for all know tbe necessity of tak log the dear old Intelligencer The sobool at tbi? place, under tbe man? agement of Miss Magneite Holland, is in a flourishing condition.

Our young friend, Charles, goes np the road so often that some began to fear a runaway was In soak, and therefrom a certain young man asked the cause of his frequent visits. Tbe reply was that he bad lost a silk handkerchief, and was pre rambuting around, and near a oertain residence, in search of same, but judging from their actions both have lost some thing, and can't tell what that something is. We are sympathizing with C, bnt be doesn't realize tbe necessity of sympathy, so we are smiling at tbelr " success " Mrs. E J Cleveland and master Claude, of N?wry, paid relatives a pleasant call here Saturday and Sunday.

The community has lost a good woman, tbe Church a good member and worker, and her children a kind and devoted mother.

The advertisement of the Greenville Fer? tilizer Company appears in The Intelli gencer to-day, more in tbe form of a statement .of the kinds and qualities of goodn manufactured than as a string of assertions of tbe great value of tbe goods The company presents tbe official analysis made by tbe chemist of Clemson College, from samples drawn at different places from goods sold by the company. This analysis shows that the quality of the goods ia greatly superior to the guarantee given This desirable result is obtained by the use of the best ingredients in compounding tbe fertilizers, the company bolding to the original plan of having but one stand? ard and that the best'. Tbe sales of tbis company are large, which is natural, because the prices are very low and it ia the determination of tbe management to give the best goods at rea sonable coat to tbe consumer. It ia agrati fioatkiD to the officers of the company to know that their efforts are appreciated. Thouuands of letters have been received from those who have used the Greenville fertili sers, and there is but one opinion expressed and that of commendation. Probably another reason why the goods of thin company have such a hold, outside of tbelr marits, is the fact that the company deals liberally with its patrons. Liberal dealing and goods of tbe highest grade will always command public patron age and tbe Greenville Fertilizer Company ask patronage on these grounds. ?

E, II, Vickerv, Hartwoll, Ga. j The Land of {he sky and Beyond, Tbe Forum for January, under tbe title of " Tbe Land of tbe Sky and Beyond," contains an elaborate and copiously Illus? trated article from tbe pen of Mr. Frank Preabrey, describing a recent trip over tbe lines of tbe Southern Railway, w hieb is a mine of minute information for Southern travelers, ~'viog a sketch of every place of resort, to\ i, city and of all the leading bnttls ABbeville, which is aptly termed " The Land of the Sky," is fully and graph? ically described, as are the resorts of Florida. It may surprise many readers to learu from Mr. Presbrey's article that the South now poeBoases a great railroad sys? tem owned by one corporation, of which Mr. Samuel Spencer is president, embrac? ing about 30 different roads, with 4 3S0 miles of track, with a single management, under the name of The Southern Rail? way," and reaching every part of the South and Southwest. Among the roads embrac? ed in this great system are the Richmond and Danville, and the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia. Mr. Preabrey has done full justice to a very difficult task, and bis article is not only readable from the fact that it possesses literary and descriptive merit of a high order, but because of the full information it givea of great valne to those who con? template a trip to the South of either health, pleasure or business. The Southern Railway has had Mr. Presbrey's interesting article neatly bound in pumphlet form aud a copy can be bad by inclosing n 5-cent stamp to W. A. Turk, General Passenger Aeent, Washington, D. C?The Republic (Washington, D. <?.,) January 12, lt93. ? Yesterday afternoon the police "did np" one of tbe boldest and most unique tigers that has ever been run hi the State since the advent of tbe dispensary law. It was located in the store of W. J. Swy gert, on Main street, just above Wright's Hotel. The place was searched by Ser? geant Morehead with Officers Waters and Tbackham. Tbe first shelf as one enters tbe store was loaded with cigar boxes, supposed to contain cigars, as they were displayed in tbe most prominent place in the store, being visible from the street. When tbe officers began to take the boxes down, however, they found that each box contained a pint or half pint bottle of whiskey in a flask. When a man wanted whiskey be was given a cigar box. The officers seized nineteen half pints and six pints of rye whiskey and twelve half pint packages of corn. Mr. Swygert was sum? moned to appear before the Mayor to? day.? Columbia Slate, Jan. 1. ? Speaking of lawyers and jurors, a case out of tbe ordinary occurred in the early legal experience of Judge Buxton, of North Carolina. When he as a young lawyer made his first appearance at tbe bar, the solicitor, as is customary in that State, asked him to take charge of a case for him. The young lawyer did his best, and the jury found the defendant, who was charged with some petty, misde? meanor, guilty. Soon after one of tbe jurors, coming round tbe bar, tapped him on the shoulder. "Buxton," said be, "tbe jury did not think that man was guilty, but we did not like to discourage a young lawyer." ? The moat remarkable instance of rapid growth is said to be recorded by the French Academy in 1729. It was a boy six years of age, 5 feet 6 inohes in height. At the age of five his voice changed, at six his beard bad grown, and he ap? peared a man of thirty. He possessed f;reat physical strength, and could easily lft to his shoulders and carry bags of grain weighing two hundred pounds. His decline was as rapid as his growth. At eight his hair and beard were gray; at ten be tottered in his walk, his teeth fell out, and his hands became palsied; at twelve he died with every outward sign of extreme old age. ? Prof Kennedy, of Due West, Abbe? ville County, writes as follows to the Editor of The News and Courier: "Allow me to congratulate you on your editorials on 'Hog and Hominy.' The longer you play on this string the better for our peo? ple. This is striking at the root of the matter. Give us corn aid meat in abun? dance, then let the price of cotton take care of itself. The very effort to raise our own supplies will do more toward raising the price of cotton than all the resolutions of tbe farmers, or financial schemes hatched at Washington or else? where." ?

Key, statistical sec? retary, reports for 1894 that the Baptists of South Carolina bave 420 ordained min? isters, 864 churches,- increase, by baptism 3,787, by letters 2,725; by restoration 466; decrease, by letter 2,805, by exoluslon 1,165, by death 718; total membership 85,941.

Tbe champion cotton raser east of the Mississippi river is said to be Mr. Beauregard Wilson, who lives near Yazoo City, Miss. He worked nine mules tbe past year and made three hundred bales of cotton, an average of thirty-three and one-third bales to the mule. After dis? posing of his crop at an average of 5 cents a pound and paying bis expenses bis net profit amounted to |3 950. ? Mayor Chaffee, of Alken, has issued a circular to the mayors of the various towns in the Stale, suggesting that all the city councils appropriate from $200 to ?700 to carry the dispensary law before the supreme court of the United States. ? Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is known by its works.
