The recent Grand Army re-nnlon at ^Iibuisville, Ky., and the mingling of Blue fand Gray veterans at X'hickamauea has given rise to a sentiment of reciprocity at tho North, Now that the G. A.

This means that capital that has long been idle is seeking invest? ment. Stable tariff conditions f and a sound condition of the national finances once more have caused confidence to re tarn, and it has come to stay. This ? means better business, better wages, and better times for alL The meeting of the Co nnty Supervls ; CS, and others interested in goods roads, in Columbia recently was one of the most important meetings which has been ( . .heid in the Statein years, and is bound , to be fruitful of good results. A report ^?'.was adopted recommending several im " portant amendments to the County, gov : emment jBW, and it was decided to meet ? ^ annually to influence' lejrtslation for the bstierment of the public roads. - ? Go v. E vans has appointed Dr. Sarah / Campbell Allen, ayoung lsdy from Char ? deston,. who has earned a reputation as a physician, having held a- position in f Johns ^Jc^kins' Hospital since she graduated from the Nevr York Medical College for women two years ago, to suc C3ed Sr. Kirby, in the State Lunatic i g Asylum. That is one of the places where a woman's services are needed, and Dr. ;, Baboock expresses himself as delighted I ?:? with the appointment. Not caring, we don't know anything about the alleged quarrel between Sena? tors. Tillman and Irby, but"this we do ??know: if Tillman does not go back on Jrby it will be about the first time that he baajBtood to a friend. Tillman desert? ed his brother George. He abandoned Capt. Shell. He threw McLaurin over? board. He "bounced" Hugh Farley.. - He enticed EUerbe to run for Governor and then practically appointed John Gary . Evans to the office. He gave poor old Col. Tindal the cold shoulder. He stood by while an anti beat.the faithful Brea zeale for Judge. He treated Dr. Samps Pope, the best friend and hardest fighter he ever had, so badly that he kicked out of "party" traces. If lillman does not drop Senator Irby now, he will drop him sooner or later?when in the meantime Senator Irby has banished Tillman to a land of political rest.- Laurens Adver? tiser. ,-' Th^Mininff and Scientific Press thus sums up the uses to which electricity is applied. It enters into the preparation . of what we eat, drink and wear, and thei e arsmany articles of utility now produced by its aid. The residents of many cities in the United States have their houses protected, lighted and heated by elec? tricity. They go to their places of busi? ness in cars rnn by electricity, the eleva? tor by which they reach their office in high buildings, or the machinery in their fictdry, is run by electricity. The. bell which summons them to church is rung by electricity and the church organ Is played by electricity. Electricity brings the news to them from all parts of the earth; stamps then: letters, automatically sounds the alarm in case of fire, rings the door bell, cooks the food, and fans them while eating it When they go to the dsntist,their teeth are drilled and filed by electricity, and miniature electric lamps are now constructed for the use of doc .. tors in diagnosing diseases. The patient swallows alighted lamp, which illumi? nates his person so as to enable the pby ' sician to make a correct diagnosis. The barber cuts or singes the hair by means of electricity, the streets are lighted and the farm cultivated by it. By means of j It we can talk with onr friends 500 or 1,000 miles away and hear their voices as distinctly as though they were in the same room. The telephone is perhaps in more general use in this country than electric lighting. Even in small towns telephones form a part of the furniture of many private houses, and are used to transmit orders to the butcher, baker, etc. There are now some 85 electric rail? ways in the United States and 0,000 miles of track employing 23,000 cars. With the aid of electricity natural forces which have heretofore run to waste are being turned to the service of mankind. The American River has already been made to furnish motor power by which Sacra? mento is lighted, and by which its street ears and factories are run, and new pro? jects are in progress all over the State. ??One day a beautiful girl looked out of her window, and saw her rude brother on the pavement, walking about on his hands with his feet in the air. "Tom," she said reprovingly, "don't Tom, I wouldn't do that, Tom?indeed I would not" "Yon wouldn't ?" replied the rude hoy looking np and speaking with mark? ed and mslioions emphasis, "Yon wouldn't? By Jacks you couldn't I" Atlanta and her Great Show. Atlanta, October 13.?If there is any one trait that distinguishes Atlanta it is her boldness In undertaking what other cities of her size and facilities would hesi? tate to attempt Generally her enter? prises are oonpled with the advertising feature. Just now the nation's eye is riveted on Atlanta's Cotton States and International Exposition. It seemed to be almost an audacious advertising step to undertake such a scheme just on the heels of the greatest of expositions at Chicago, with five-cent cotton, with a howl about impending ruin nnless there there was free coinage of silver and sun? dry other clouds overhanging: the busi? ness world, yet with all this Atlanta undertook the big show, and has even sur? prised herself at the success of the enter? prise. The Exposition grew until it became a really gigantio affair, and the people are now realizing that Atlanta, with the world's backing, has done a great work. The South generally has Been, and will be, the beneficiary of the Cotton Exposition, while Atlanta will re? ceive the first and promptest returns for ""nerve" it has shown. There is no dis Ing the fact that the Exposition will ecognlzed as a Southern Exposition, that it will result in very much more liry about the South and its pessibill -fbr, to begin with, the very best im islons of the Southland are created by sit to the Exposition, lere is no State more interested in the ess and make-up of the Exposition l South Carolina. The interests of rgia and the Palmetto State are, and 9 always been, kindred, and many )linians will go to the Exposition to what has been done to display the th's advantages as well as to have a sant time, and many more will want now something about the Exposition, re going to Atlanta.- The New$ and rier, whloh has from the inception ofv Exposition emphasized to the people Carolina the importance of the event the necessity of having *. creditable representative display there, has had ?urtesles of the Exposition extended ae of its representatives, tat before leaving Columbia a lady id inquired:. "Dp/let a. poor woman w whether the Exposition is worth g to-aee.'* is a. pleasure as well, as.a. duty. Jto a id to" advise her to^tothe j&xpos* , - Bich;or pxwjvif s>\nersoh has any y money go to the ^Bxpbsitioni .Gk>. I DeJUay;inay involve the expenditure he needed money' on some far less itable frolic It will be a very long r before any one in this section will i the opportunity of going to any ex tlon or exposition that will compare the Atlanta show. It is no newspa alk to say that the Exposition is very h there creditable arid complete and factory and up to-date than'anything leklnd, with the exception of .'the Id's Fair, which cosfi its million*; and the United States treasury behind It very much larger extent than the uta Exposition. There is ho fake or i about this Exposition. The build that are shown in all of the litho s and advertising matter appear not on paper, but exist in reality on the tlful Exposition grounds. This is a where seeing is Believing, and it is y safe to venture that everyone who to Atlanta has a good word for the 38ltion, nnless he may have had some chlarly unlucky incident. Now it be put down as an undeniable fact whoever misses visiting the Exposi neglectsan opportunity that 1b, not y to occur again in a lifetime. Go to ata! ' aenyou get to Atlanta, two elements bwood down on yon; the hotel Kiper" and the out rate ticket agent. ? are thicker then hops and far more v than a dozen glasses of beer would 3 a visitor, ?st. Don't stop at the corner for a of beer; hold on to your ticket and i go to a hotel and. register. If you ; go to a hotel first inquire of the : whether he will accommodate yon e European plan, that Is in plain a you pay for what yo u get. If there European plan move on, unless yon to subsidize the proprietor. The plan ia to rent a room at a private j. there are hundreds of suob places lanta. Booms for lodging can be t from fifty cents to a dollar a room, ghf, for each person. Some of these 9 charge $150 each, for lodging and :fast There, is no need of register-' t a hotel and paying fordinner and sr, when the chances are that the aitlon or some other attraction will ?your attention. By simply en g lodging yon can oat where and you please. Many of the hotels lodgers at reasonable rates, but the gements have first to be made. Here it may be mentioned that h?he' reputable hotels show any evidences mglng. They charge from $2 up i, acme $1 for a .room, others ?2 for n and one meal and upwards, but are nice private families* just as us to provide a room. ? i well to start out early for the Ex on?say 8 o'clock Atlanta time, i would be 9 o'clock over in South Ina. Before going breakfast may i at any restaurant at from 25 cents > the pleasure of the customer, is a cafe on Peach tree street that a substantial breakfast for a quarter. ienu reads like this: Steak, hash, al, large hominy, biscuits, bread, coffee, mashed potatoes and rice, ut the best, quickest and easiest d get ont to the Exposition grounds the special trains of the Southern ay that leave the station next to the lam House and adjoining the union i, where you arrive in Atlanta, every minutes. These trains make the i seven minutes, and land the pas b at a good starting point at the lilion grounds. The fare on this j tach way is ten cents?the same as e street cars. One or two trips, take a little longer, may be taken ! j of the herdics, whloh are omnibus ;ements. The trip on one of these 38 takes you up Peaohtree street to :position, and in that way affords a e w and a pleasant ride through the mne of Atlanta. The straight fare le herdics is only five cents. If yon > be fashionable there is a tally-ho, starts from the Kimball, and which a more, sts fifty cents to enter the Exposi ounds, and after you have entered, ary much a matter of choice as to the inspection begins. Perhaps.lt i be' as well to make a circuit of the; id get a general idea of the grounds.' airway in front of the fine arts ig is an excellent point from which a birds-eye view of the grounds, t posit ion people are certainly to be complimented on the success with they have designed and executed rk. The picture is a pretty and ive one. It is designed on a liberal ind there is no evidence of orowd 'he lake,. the terraces, the stone mis, the statuary, the grass plots, Idgesand the general and special igs all go to make up a splendid . The general view is Itself oharm t that is hardly what one goes to .for. anxious inquiry is, How much' cost to see the Exposition ? Again, i matter of style. Some folks like ?*/ {iui, on 'style, especially when they get away from home, and those people can put on all the "extras',' they want and spend a month's wa;,98 in a day, bukfor those who are in earnest about the mat? ter and only want to spend what is likely tobe necessary it will be interestlngHo ? show what is a reasonable ? expense ac? count, one that can and has'been carried out time and again: Lodging.;..;...:-....v. 75 ? Breakfast.?. 25 Car fare to and from. 20 Dinner. 50 Supper. 50 Admission. .50 Sundries. 50 Midway. 50 Total.S3.70 Multiply this by the number of days you expect to be in Atlanta and you have a good idea of your expense account. Now there are a great many other ways of spending money st the Exposition, but it is not necessary to the proper see? ing oi what is to be seen at the Exposition. If you want to take home with you a basket full of souvenirs the vendors will satisfy you, and sell you anything from a cotton boll up to a $500 piece of furni? ture or statuary, This is, of course, mot included in the estimated expense account that is given. The purpose has been to show how to see the Exposition at a rea? sonable price, with entire satisfaction. There is no use to try to make a thor? ough inspection of the buildings in a day's time, it cannot be done with aay satisfaction. Three days Is a minimum limit for anyone wishing to see the Expo? sition with any satisfaction. When din? ner time comes there are many restau? rants and cafes scattered around at which you can satisfy your appetite, but it costs money.. The restaurants give you fair warning as to what you nave to pay. For Instance, one cafe will charge you fifty cents for an oyster fry (a dozen,) another will charge sixty and another seventy cents for the same thing. One place may have a little longer aprons for the waiters, but the oysters are just about the same. The best thing is to avoid cafes with fancy names, but to take in something like the Creole Kitchen, which is quite high enough for any one. It is best to order dishes and not take the straight dinner that one of the concerns offer. In the case of ordering by the oard you know what yon are getting and pay for what arrives and not what may be "just out." You can get cheaper meals outside of the Exposition grounds, but all things considered k is no doubt as well to remain in the groondB all day. In the evening is a good time to "take in" the Midway and of course the fire? works only take place at ni^ht.?Xcn-s and Conner. The Murder of Moseley. Greenwood, Oct. 13.?State Constable J. j. Moseley was brutally murdered this morning at 1:15 o'clock. He was at the Georgia, Carolina and Northern de? pot, where a large lot of liquor was ex? pected on the night trains.' He asked a trial justice for aid and had the constable of that officer acoompany him. While transferring packages, after he had Beized them, a negro grabbed a jug and ran. The express drayman fired two Bnoti) and Moseley fired two shots at the man. A negro behind Moseley shot at him at close range, killing him instantly. The post mortem by Dr. Neel and others showed that the ball passed through the brain, lodging "against bassillor puliver Of the accentical bone," causing instanta? neous death. A jury was drawn about an hour af? ter the tragedy and have been in session all day, adjourning tonight to meet, to? morrow morning. Fonr negroes are heavily guarded to-night and other ar? rests may be made tomorrow. Our streets have been thronged all day by people waiting for the coroner jury's verdict, and Borne talk of lynching has been indulged in, but wiser council will no doubt prevail, as the men who are on guard will no doubt do their duty. ThiB is to many minds a clear case of a prearranged assassination, and the good people of Greenwood are much Incensed, and are doing everything in their power to bring the culprits to justice. While Mr. Moseley has unnecessarily exposed himself on frequent occasions, there is no excuse to otter on behalf of the "dark devils" who perpetrated this dastardly crime. Mr. Moseley's life was threatened more than once, and notwith? standing the overtures of friends and relatives, he has persistently laid himself liable to such fatalities as overtook him this morning. We can only attribute, "however, this unfortunate affair to such iniquitous laws as exist, and the citizens of Greenwood are now determined that there shall be no recurrence of acts of which she will be ashamed. Dr. Moseley, a brother of the dead con? stable, is here and says he has often- im? portuned his brother to be very careful in the matter of exeroising the functions of bis office. Mr. Moseley, it is said, has captured more liquor than any other constable on the force, and has enjoyed the confidence of his superiors in the dispensary office. .1 Sheriff Nance, a brother-in-law of the dead man, arrived early this morning, and said he would leave everything in the hands of the citizens of Greenwood. Moseley went to Ninety-Six yesterday and made some seizures there, arriving here late at night and going to his death. ' According to Mrs. Moseley's wishes the body will be buried here to morrow, instead of at Lowndesville, the old home. A wife and two children survive him. He was insured for $1,0C0 in the Order of the Golden Chain. Later?Governor Evans has ordered the militia to be ready at call of the mayor to protect the prisoners.?Special to Col. Stale. . Irby Denounces Tillman. Columbia, October 9.?United States Senator Lrby is out in a long interview to-night, which will perpetuate, no doubt, the breach between himself and Senator Tillman, his erstwhile bosom friend and co-laborer in South Caroli? na's political world. Speaking of Tin? man's suffrage plan, Irby says: "Hook upon that report as a political monstrosity?one of the most dangerous schemes ever concocted in the brain of man?and when the Convention recon? venes I shall fight it and vote against it if I have not another member upon the floor at my baok. Why, the more I study that report the stronger my opposition and the greater the danger I see in it." He proceeds to analyze it and Bays that vthey should at once "arouse the white voters of our State as to the danger that threatens both the poor and illiterate white' man, as also the political supre? macy of the Anglo-Saxon race in our State." After analyzing the several sec? tions, he says: "Why, no brave and prood-Bpirited white man in the. old Palmetto State would accept suffrage under any euch conditions and would sooner lOSe his right to vote and be shoved off in the same bout with the sea island negro. He would then, indeed, be a Political exile in the State of his birth, nt the honest name that he will bequeath to his children and-his children's chil? dren i would not be .filed among the' archives of South Carolina as are the names of pardoned convicts. Let this law pass, giving educated and property owning negroes the right to vote, but denying the poor, unlettered white man that high privilege, and you will see our ballot-boxes saturated with blood. In two years time you can't educate every white youth in Sonth Carolina both to read and write, for the impoverished con? dition of thousands of poor White farmers and laborers will not permit them to Bpare the time of their sons to go to school. And, then, what is the result? Their ballot Is taken from them and they will have no more voice in the govern? ment of this State than the mule that they plough or dumb cattle that tread our highways. They must stand off and look on while the educated or property owning negroes, living in our towns and cities, are helping to rule and govern our State and are making laws for those poor white men to live under." Again, he says: "I denounce that re? port of the right of suffrage committee, and of which Senator Tillman is chair? man, as monstrous and for onr Refor? mers in the Convention to pass any such law would be the basest treachery and the deepest-dyed ingratitude." Again he say s: "I have unsheathed my sword and thrown away the Bcabboard. I am in battle to the end. No poor and uneducated white man will lose his vote if I have the power to prevent lt. I shall denounce this outrage upon the floor of the Convention, and shall denounce it upon the stand before the people. We can preserve white supremacy in South Carolina without either disfranchising or humiliating a single white voter." Speaking of the possibility of a fight for jus seat in the Senate Irby says: "I understand that a secret caucus has already been held, and a slate ticket form? ed in Columbia. But I do nut care the Bnap cf my finger for the machinations of the politicians. I have anobored my faith and hope in the people, and when I get the people on my side I can buy up all the politicians I want at 5 cents a piece. Next year ws must go before the Seople, and they will deoide who they es ire to represent them in the Senate.'' . All this is going, to make the Conven? tion's sessions lively when that body re? assembles. Fatal Dispensary Jag. Union, October 12.?A very sad acci? dent occurred one mile and a quarter ?above Union yesterday. Mr. John Koon'a team ran. away with the wagon and killed Mr. Koon and seriously injur? ed Mrs. Frank Ivey, who was in the wagon with him. It seems that Mr. Koon and Mr. and Mrs. Ivey brought cotton to town. After selling it they bought some goods and, after Koon and Ivey had filled themselves up with whis? key, they started home on the wagon. When about a mile from town Koon dropped a bottle of whiskey in the road and broke it. The whiskey was for another person. Mr. Koon sent Mr. Ivey back to town to get a bottle to re? place it. Koon then took the lines and drove on, telling Ivey he could catch up. About half a mile further on the team ran away and Air. Koon fell forward. His legs were caught in the wagon hounds, and his head hung down behind one of the horses' feet. The horse kicked him in the face and shoulders as he ran. Mrs. Ivey attempted to get to the lines, but fell out of the wagon. About one hundred yards from where Mrs. Ivey fell out Koon was jolted loose from the wagon. People soon gathered around. Mr. Koon lived only a few minutes after falling loose from the wagon. Mrs. Ivey sustained internal injuries, the extent of which has not been learned. She was sent home. She made a statement this morning about as above. The coroner's jury returned a veroict of accidental death as regards John Koon, according to the above facts.?New* and Courier. ? A young and accomplished Chicago lady recently eloped, and a younger Bister was questioned by her angry father, whom he suspected of knowing more about the matter than she was willing to admit.. "Were you aware that your sis? ter was going to elope?" inquired the old man. "No, father; she never told me anything about it." "Did you suspect anything?" "Nothing whatever," replied the girl. "Did she make any preparation for the escapade?" "Not that I knew anything about." "Did you not see her make any arrangement forgoing away?" "None, except to wash her feet." Moseloy Notts. It is slill dry and dusty and the cotton has nearly all opened. The prayer-meetlne at the Baptist Church will meet every Sunday at 3 p. m. instead of Saturday night, as hereto? fore.

Mr. Tom McKinney left last evening for Anderson, don't know when he'll return. S. A. Morgan is doing a good business ginning. Evidently he is giving satis? faction to his customers. He has ginned a few bales from Georgia. The following conversation was heard between two young men of this place recently: "Say, what's sweeter than honey?" "Oh my best girl, of course." "But the Bible says there is nothing sweeter than honey." "Admitted, but my girl is not near as old as the Bible, don't U. C." Everybody is getting ready to go to the Bbow next Thursday. Rev. Emory Goss has been elected to serve the Baptist Church next year. The health of our community is very good at present. Married, on 13th inst.. at the resi? dence of Mr. Hugh J. McKinney, Mr. J. C. Dickson and Miss R. C. Kflgus, both of Anderson, Mr. R. P. Martin, N. P., officiating. Evidently "Reyward," of Lowndes? ville, has exhausted himself with Shakes? peare or else he is beginning to realize that learning and ignorance are not con? genial, <fcc., and is now devoting himself to Edop's fables and seems to be very much Impressed with the frog fable, and thinks that it suits our case. Anothar evidence of the "penny wise and pound foolish" that was hinted in our last. We don't expect to engage in any dirty spata with "Pedro" and care to say anything more, but this "youth to fortune and to fame unknown" would do well to get some of his adolescent friends to give him some instructions in English grammar. The great trouble with our neighbor is that Be is becoming immensely inflated with the gaseous idea of his own impor? tance, and we would call h's attention to the fate of the foolish frog and remind him that if he is not very careful he, too, will share it before long?puff himself until he bursts. That was a big gun to shoot at small game. Perhaps "Rey? ward" can get some idea of our suffering when we tell him that we feel like Baalam did when he was rebuked by an ass, but let me suggest that nothing is so becom? ing to a donkey as staying in his place and keeping his mouth shut and we will go "fishing for whales, and will have no time or inclination to fool with tadpoles, wiggletails and minnows." If in the future we happen to need small bait for larger fish we may possibly drop a pin hook in his mudpuddle. Pedro. Lowndesville News. Mr. G. W. Speer went to Anderson last Wednesday. Mr. G. L.

If any poison is swallowed, drink instantly a half glass of cold water, with a heaping teaspoonful of common salt and ground mustard stirred into it. This vomits as soon as it reaches the stomach. But, for fear some of the poison may re? main, swallow the white of one or two eggs, or drink a cup of strong coffee? these two being antidotes for a greater number of poisons than any other dozen of articles known, with the advantage of their usually being on hand; if not a pint of sweet oil, lamp oil, drippings, melted butter or lard, are good substitutes, especially if they vomit quickly. A Policeman's Recklessness. Atlanta, Ga., October 0.?W. M. Hudson, a policeman, fired at a negro thief to-night and shot two men who were on their way home from their day's work. One of the victims, Jas. Decatur, a negro shoemaker, is dead. J. M. Deal, a white tailor, is at the Grady Hospital in a dangerous condition. The bullet struck him first in the face, passed around his head snd entered Decatur's temple. Hudson had chased the thief a block. At Mitchell and Forsyth streets the thief was gaining. The width of one street separated the pursuer and pursued. Hudson, fearing the negro would escape and seeing that be would not drop his plunder, raised his pistol and fired. It was just getting dark. Hudson states that he did not see anyone within range except the thief. The policeman did not see Decatur and Deal fall, but continued the chase and ran up on the two men lying within a few feet of each other. He came first upon Deal and then Deca? tur. The latter died at 10 o'clock to-night. Deal's chances to recover are poor. Wm. Trice, the thief, wad arrested by a private citizen who was unarmed. Trice had stolen some cash and balls from a pool room. Young Lady Killed. Montgomery, Ala., October 10.?Miss Mattie Murdock, an estimable and weal? thy lady living at Mount Meigs, in this county, was crushed to death under the wheels of a locomotive at the depot near her home this morning, She was pre? paring to leave for Atlanta to see the ex? position. She expected to take the morn? ing train from here and was at the depot to meet it. By the new schedule, this train does not stop at Mount Meigs. It is supposed that she was not aware of this. At any rate, the train passed the station running forty miles an hour and Miss Murdock, who was standing on or near the track, was struck and thrown In front of the tender. She was, of course, instantly killed. She had a purse in her band containing $300 and the money was distributed along the track for 100 yards. Miss Murdock was thirty-eight years old and was greatly loved in this olty and county, where she has a large family connection. The Southern Railway Co.'s Exposition Work. Manufacturers' Record, Sept 27,1895. Atlanta, Ga., September 20. Editor Manufacturers' Record: The Southern Railway has erected, doubtless, the most classical building on the expo? sition grounds. It is a most beautiful and symmetrical production throughout, and in its pure white daintiness resem? bles a gem of most brilliant appearance and chaste design. Its gilded dome is surmounted by a heroic size female figure representing modern railway progress. Its Interior contains a bureau of infor? mation under the auspices of the passen? ger department, and a similar bureau un? der the auspices of the land and immi? gration department, and also contains an exhibit of rare and costly selection of the finest gems of the Sonth. The building is set forth as an example of the best production of the architeot, Mr. Bradford L. Gilbert, and it was con? structed under the supervision of the management of the Southern Railway Co. Even more than the Pennsylvania Railroad was to the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia, and the Illinois Central Railroad was to the World's Fair, the Southern Railway is to the Cotton States and International Exposition at Atlanta. This great system reaohes Atlanta from all four points of the campass, stretching out its immense arms to the Potomac at Washington, and the Ohio gateways at Cincinnati, Louisville, St. Louis, Mem? phis. Yicksbnrg and New Orleans, and reaching down into the interior of Florida and penetrating as a network the entire Southern States, it brings directly into the gates of Atlanta trade and travel from all quarters of the globe. The Southern Railway being the only line of transportation entering the expo? sition grounds, it has undertaken to proudly assert its recognition of this great responsibility, and has provided the most ample and accommodating terminal facilities, both at Lloyd Street Station, adjoining the Markham House, and im? mediately opposite the Union Depot in this city, and also at the grounds of the Exposition itself. The Southern Railway has arranged a system of quick train service between the city and the grounds such as the South has never before witnessed. These trains are arranged so as to be run within three minutes of each other, and afford a total carrying capacity of 20,000 an hour in each direction, or a total movement in one hour of 40;000 people, should neces? sities require. ' Vice President Baldwin has imbued his entire staff .of subordinates with a spirit of energy and enterprise in this undertaking that is bound to make it the most successful of the kind ever known. The passenger department of the South? ern Railway has issued extensive and beautiful advertising matter of original and effective sort, and has participated very largely in the effort so successfully resulting in arranging the lowest rates upon the mostliberal basis for the Atlanta Exposition ever afforded any exposition of this kind in the world. The freight department has lent sim? ilar aid and enterprise in providing for the movement of the exhibits, and indeed the watchword thronghout the entire Southern Railway system seems to be "the Atlanta Exposition must be an over? whelming success." The transportation department of the Southern Railway is doubtless as well officered as any railway in the United States. Most ample and extensive train service has been arranged by the trans? portation department to bring everybody from everywhere to Atlanta on this great occasion. I. W. Avbry. ? At the beginning of the month < f August Patsey Casey, son of John Casey, of Bridgeport, Conn., was exaotly five feet high and weighed 120 pounds. There came an unusually hot spell and Patsey began to grow. In a few weeks his father was compelled to buy a larger bedstead for him. It was followed shortly after? wards by another and still larger one. The boy outgrew his clothes as fast ?a they could be made for him. His shoe bill assumed enormous proportions, and a hat lasted him only ten days. His fa? ther became alarmed and called in the doctors. They were much interested in the case, and pronounced it absolutely unique, but could do nothing for him; and Patsey is still growing. His present stature is six feet two inches, and he weighs 168 pounds. That is to say, he has gained fourteen inches in height and forty-eight pounds in weight in two months, and the end is not jet. Marvellous Results. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun derman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are per? mitted to make this extract: l,I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the results were almost marvellous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist Church at Rives Junction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe. Terri? ble paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption, and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. King's New Discovery ; it was quick in its work: and highly satisfactory in results." Trial bot? tles free at Hill Bros. Drug Store. Regu? lar size 50c- and % 1.00.

The Biggest Shipment of CROCKERY Ever made to Anderson, and perhaps the largest to any point in the State. The following explains itself. Don't read it, if you are not interested in your County and your Town, and the people whom you call neighbors: SEPTEMBER 18, 1895*. . C. S. MINOR & CO. GENTLEMEN: I have the pleasure of stating that we have received at this depot, marked to your address, one and one-third Car Loads of Crockery, all shipped from same place at one time. The one-third Car Load had to be shipped in separate Car, as it all could not be put in one Car. To the best of my knowledge, this is two and a half or three times larger than any previous single shipment of Crockery to this point. I understand that you have another shipment now on the way. I congratulate you and this community. You will accommodate us by removing these Goods sts early as you can make room for them, as we hardly have sufficient space for storing so large a lot of this ware in our depot for any length of time.
