i^ocal News. WEDNESDAY'. JULY 10. 1901. Assessment of Property. Tho Board ot* Assessors for Anderson County has completed ita labors and wo are enabled by the courtesy of that etlicient and painstaking officer, County Auditor Holomau, to present the full ligures to our readers for perusal and comparison with the l'HX) report. It will bo seen that values have increased all along thc line and, basing thc valua tion of cotton and oil mills on the 1000 valuation, the net increase is $035,574. It might also be a matter of interest to note the increasing business devolving upon our County officer*. Take for example the work of the Auditor in compiling the 11)01 returns, which hus taken almost the entire timo of three clerks since January 1st. TIUB repre sents 15,000 returns made out b> the Auditor, a two volume auditor's item ized duplicate and a treasurer's dupli cate-in all about 2,000 page? of closely written statistics. It is doubtful if any of our sister Counties can show the progress and t he clerical efficiency and neatness so systematically observ ed by our public servants at the Court House.

Mu. EDITOII: Doubtless many of your readers who admiro Richard Car vel will enjoy reading tho following with regard to its brilliant author, Winston Churchill. In our City Li brary may also be found "Tho Cele brity" from the same pen, and among the books just ordered wo have anoth er, "The Crisis" : . The opportunities for a youug man to rise, by virtue of his own qualities, with little or no outside help, are so numer?os in the United States that it is sometimes assumed that similar con ditions do not exist anywhere, else. Perhaps they do not to tbe same ex tent, yet wherever there are froe insti tutions and a parliamentary form of government, there is room in the pub lic life for youug men of energy and real ability. In the recent debate in the British House of Commons upon the army bill, thc speech which attracted the most notice, m and out of Parliament, was made by a young man of twenty-six. It may be said that, as the son of bis father, Lord Randolph Churchill-who was an exceptionally brilliant man Mr. Winston Churchill had an advan tage which a young man of less con spicuous parentage would not have en joyed. Nevertheless it was not as tho son of his father, but as a young mau who who had developed vigorous powers of his own as a writer and war correspon dent, who had kept his head in South Africa where so many other ambitions mon, young and ola, had lost theirs, that Mr. Churchill won'his election to the House of Commons, and an atten tive hearing when he rose to make his lirst speech. Ho spoke with such force and f rcahness, and with such courage -for he criticised boldly a cherished measure of his own party-that ho won applause even from Mmse who differed from him. Here is on inst* ace of a reputation in th* making. Mr. Churchill has only to go on os he has begun, to gather strength and ripeness with experience, and to keep himself from being spoil -ed, ana his career is secure. On account of the enlarged capacity ol the Flour Mill at Anderson the farmert -can get their grist the same day the? bring the wheat, which will be a greal saving of time. 3-1 8TBAYED OR STOLEN-One browr horro Muir-, ?bout 7 years old, weight .about OOO, about 15 hands high.

Church, South, met in the local Methodist Church last week, beginning with n sermon Tues duy evening and ending Sunday even ing by the Bishop, Kev. Mr. Duncan.

A striking illustration of tho fatal nature of consumption when introduc ed among negroes is seen in the sad case of a negro named Bob Mars, who lives on Mr. B. C. Kay's place. He baa a large family, mostly small, and - lives in a small, crowded house. Tho i first child to develop tho dread dis ; ease died not over a year ago and sine: ' then five have died in clop o succession. , Under such miserablo sanitary candi t tions it is almost impossible to prevent I the spread of the disease, and this is net the only instance of the wiping out of almost an entire family to happen 9 near here in recent years.

Death has again sent his angel into our midst and taken fvoin us one of our fairest buds in the person of little Albert, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Mor gan, who, for some time, has boen sick with typhoid fever. On Sunday morn ing his little spirit took its flight where there is no moro sickness, sorrow, pain or death. He was only nineteen months and six day? of age, tho joy of his pa rents and a favorite with evory one. It is indeed a mystery why such pure buds are plucked from us, but wu must humbly submit to tho will of Him who doeth all things well. Little Albert was far too pure for this sin-cuiscd world so God took him to himself be fore bis feet had been pierced by the cruel thorns of life. The remains were interred in the Union graveyard at 10 o'clock Monday morning. Rev. J.H. Herron conducted the services. The bereaved parents have the sympa thy of the entire community.
