His death occurred at his home in tho Five Forks section last Saturday afternoon, aged 80 years.1 Several years ago Mr. Martin waa thrown from his buggy by his horse running away, and received a painful wound in his head. From tliis wound he never fully recovered, and for several months he has been quite* feeble, gradually growing weaker until death came to his relief. His wife pre ceded him to the grave about three years ago., l?o children were born to -, them, but an adopted son, Mr. Joseph . Martin, survives. Mr. Martin was ii ..most estimable citizen and had the confidence and good will of a wide circle of friends. He had long been a devoted member of the Primitive Bap ^.' tist denomination.

He was an employee for a year in one of the stores in thiscity some years ago, but for the past ten iC.;years he has had charge of Mr. Gt E.

Cotton is about one-fourth of a ciop and corn about one half." There has not been a good rain here since the 15th of May. Hot, dry and dusty weather is the or der of the day. * The County chain gang is doing some good and lasting work on the roads near this placj. As long as new mill buildiug is in or der we think that Piedmont should have another. Will not: some good, re sponsible man take the matter in "hand and work up another? "We should also have an ice factory and a roller flour mill. We venture the assertion that we have the quietest and most orderly fac tory town in the State: Sometimes a fellow gets on a little too much "chem ically pure*'rat juice and gets a little disorderly, but his work is mostly on the outer edge of town, for he has a dread of the turbid Saluda. There has been quite a lively time about town during the past two months, but the country "kids" have at hist be gun picking the fleecy staple.

In last week's issue we noticed that "Inc?gnita" wanted to know whether green sorghum cane was good as forage or not. We can answer from experi ence. If it is fed in a proper manner there is not a particle of danger in it. Sorghum forage should not bc fed to stock until it is thoroughly headed, and then alwaysfedin small quantities when beginning to feed on it. Man has been termed thc worship ping animal, but he is just as truly a grumbling animal. Only a few daj'8 ago we heard the people grumbling so highly of dry weather that a book agent would have ried from thc coun try in disgust. And already some have been grumbling of wet weather. So, Mr. Editor, you need not grow weary when complaints of evcrykind of misfortune reach you. for, generally, such complaints only betray a weak backbone.

What a wonderfully delicate piece of mechanism is the human eye, how inti - nicely varying in its manifold expressions of love, bate, courage, jealousy, grief and a thousand other impulses of the human heart. What a world of beauty, what an immensity of knowledge isopened up un to us by the beautiful and accurate pic tures conveyed to the brain by this most delicate organ and yet how we neglect and abuse it. how thoughtlessly we over work its slender muscles, its delicate nerves and tender tissues, and what H price we often pa}' for our negligence. When the sight begins to tail or some congenital defect exists in the eye which render.3 the vision imperfect, we seek the the aid of glasses in order to overcome the ditfieulty. The question naturally arise? 'vi).u^ shall we produce the glasses which will exactly overcome or neutralize our visual error. Before answering this tuestion kindly allow mn Lo ask another.
