Honea Path Chronicle: 'W. C. Bran yon lost his dwelling and barn by fire last Friday at noon. The fiamos had gained good headway before they were discovered and as a brisk wind was blowing it we?s impossible to save the buildings. By hard work thn contents of the dwelling were saved. Mr. Branyon bad jastle:t the hous3 only a thort while before the fire was d'scovered, andas he had bcon heating soi^e water it is supposed that the fire originated from a spark from the fire place. The property was valued at about ?2,000 and was iusured for ?1,300. County Auditor Boleman has about completed his work of aggregating the taxable property of the County and arrang the books for the tax collector.

The goods were sold to China in competition with the mills of the world. That so large nn order should havo been secured by South Carolina mills is con clusive proof that the South can compote with the world with a fair field. And wbile meeting and matching all competi tion, the Southern mills are making money." Mrs- Jane Osborne, widow of the lato . M.

Anderson, S. C , July 13, 1&97. ?Mr. Editor: Wbile improvement e 'emu to bo the order of the day in Anderson, 1 desiro to call attention to a matter that ban been neglected at least one yoar too long. Tbo city has an elegant and attractive Graded School building, which is in strik. ing contrast to tho grounds on which it in located. Lot the washes be stopped, tho grounds be graded, tho dead oaks remover., and a number of young trees planted dur ing tbe next season, and in the course off, few years, the lot now so suggestive neglect, will boas beautiful as the build Irg itself. Progress, Lieut. Yau iver's Watch. lu a few days our townsmen. Messrs. W. A. and J. R. Vandivor, will be in pos session of the watch that belonged to their father, who gave his life in defense of the Confederacy. Last Monday Mr. J. K. Vandiver received the following letter, which we havo asked tho privilege of pub lishing, and which, wo know, will be read with interest by all of the IntixliGencer readers : FniLAPKLriiiA, 1 , .Inly 7, 1897. J. R. Vandivek, Esq , Anderson, t?. C. Dear Sir : The watch in my possession, no doubt, was the one belonging to your father. It has nover been out of my oharge since the nicht it fell into my pos session, except when undergoing repairs. It is justas I got it except the case wore out where it caught on the spring snap to hold it down, a piece of brass was set in. When I took it from his'pocket it was still running. There was a piece broken from the hour hand and I had them replaced with new ones. I carried it while in tho army and for someten or twelve years thereafter without any needed repairs, in all I carried it about twenty years. I am very sorry to iuform you that one of the cases is partly broken at the hinge, by one of my babies while sitting on my lap. He grasped it as any child would and wrench od it from my grasp. There was a leather guard and steel key attached to it but they bave both been mislaid. I don't think be bad been dead more tban about thirty minute? when I came across the body, and he lay some distance in advance of his comrades, probably ten or fifteen yards. He must have been a brave eoldier else he would not have been bo far ahead of the others. I was ti-e first one to ven ture out in front of the lines after the bat tle, my object being to see if they bad fell back or was going to make another attack. I think they left all their dead and seri ously wounded on tho fiold when they f 11 back. His body lay near the railroad bank. II?3 sword I took, which was a straight one. uot unlike those carried by doctors. I gave it to a comrade who was detailed with the wagon train, and I never knew what became of it afterwards. There was aleo a daguerreotyp, the likeness of a lady in his pocket, which I took to be his wife from a letter found on him, which stated that he had been sick but was much bettsr now. It also stated that he could get his discharge but the South was on the point of gaining their independence and would not accept of it. There was also a document on his person promoting him to Adjutant or acting as such. I was very young at the time, but took more notice of this paper than any of the others, from the fact that we were always anxious to know who the officers were, but being thoughtless and careless as one of my years mostly are under such circumsten ces. they got lo6t. There was also eighty dollars in Confederate money on bis body. Tho Union troops had arrived the after noou bofore the attack from the army of the Potomac, and next morning moved to Raccoon Mountain, which leaves me in doubt as to who buried tbo dead, but I think a detail from the Union troops was sent out for that purpose. I would also state, as does the Intelli gencer, that it took place between the hours of eleven and two on a bright moon light night. I bavo always hoped to be able at some time to find Borne near and dear relative to whom I could return it, and my hopes are at last realized by very unexpectedly find ing his wife and ?on. I will mail a paper with this letter which will show you that this was not my first attempt to find his friends. I will also stato that I did not got out of the unpleasantness clear and e'ean, as I left my right arm with your folks clear from the shoulder at Pine Knob, Georgia, June l th, 186-1. I enlisted as a private eoldier ia the 29th Pennsylvania Volunteers, July 13th, 1861, and re-enlisted December, 1863. Please inform me in your next com munication which would be the best way to forward the watcb, and if there is any furthor information you desire let me know and I will cheerfully give it. Very resoectfully yours, John L Graham, {left handed signature,) 1301 Castle Avenue, Philadelphia, Pa. Mr. Graham may rest assured that bis kind actis most highly appreciated, not only by the Messrs. "Vandiver, but by all of their friends, and especially the eurviv ingcomrades of their brave father.
