The Fair Play (Oconee County) cor respondent of the Keowec Courier says: "One of tho most remarkable men in Oconee County is Uncle John Hendrix. He says he is in his ninety first year. He is a native of Spartan burg County and moved to this County about sixty years ago, where he hus made his home. Uncle John is about six feet tall, carries himseli perfectly erect and can do as much work in a day asan ordinary laborer.

The Anderson Phosphate and Oil Company has been organized in this city with n capital of $000,000,which may bo increased to $800,000, and the Secre tary of State has been applied to for a charter.

The purpose of the Company is to manufacture and sell fertilizers and cotton seed products, and will be a strong competitor of tho fertilizer trust. This will be the largest manu facturing plant ever attempted in An derson, but wiU, we predict, prove a big success under the skillful manage ment and experience of Mr. Brown.
