Frequently inquiries are made at this office by visitois from other cities concerning the number and capitali zation of the textils industries of the city and county. There aro so many mills and HO many changes in tho way of additions to the capital stock have taken plac? that the home people often ure unable to supply the information. The following nummary gives the names of the mills in the county with their capitalization: Anderson Cotton Mills. $000,000 Brogon Cotton Mills. 000,000 Conneross Yaru Mill. ?O.OOO Corona Knitting Mill. 23,000 Cox Manufacturing Company '-?00,000 Cluck Cotton Mills. 500,000 Orr Cotton Mills. MOO.OOO Riverside Afanufacturing Co.. KW,000 Townsend Twine Mill. 2i),000 Toxaway Manufacturing Co.. 200,000 Total.$.'i. 100,000 The above list includes the mills that belong to the city of Anderson. Those at other points in tho couuty are: Helton Cotton Milla. $700,000 Ch i quoin Mills, Honea Path.. 400,000 Pelzer Manufacturing Co. 1,000.000 Pendleton Cotton Mills. 100,000 Piedmont Manufacturing Co.. 800,000 Williamston Cotton Mills.... ?00,000 Total.$3,300,000 The total amount of capital invested in cotton mills in Anderson County is $0,400,000, and this vast property is re turned for tuxation on the basis of 00 per cent of its actual valuation. The total amount of taxable property in the county, ns shown by the abstracts recently made out by Auditor Holcman, is $11,002,005. The foregoing statistics show what a large per centage of the county's wealth is represenced by tho making of cotton into cloth. A commission has been secured from the Secretary of State for a new mill at 'va, with a capitalization of $200, 000, but the com puny has not yet been foi io a I ly organized. * When all these mills are running with a full quota 'ot operatives, it is estimuted that more than 9,000 em ployes are required. The consumption of raw cotton amounts to moro than l?O.OOO bules, or approximately three times the number of bales produced in the county. Our Prosper ity and the Price of Anderson Dirt. It is really surprising even to an An derson mun the way land is Bulling in the city, und in the county, too. Building lots sell for twice the same they would have brought five or six yearn ago and in some instances bring more than double the price. But then if yen are on the go and soe the tre mendous lot of new houses being built you would not wonder long why it is land is advancing BO rapidly. A storeroom was bought on tho square nhnnt Ht,?? ruara ann fn*> Ctii (\nt\ a*\A ******* ---- - - J ~ - ? w ??0?* ? ^ - WV *-?..? ?. V ?. the happy purchaser bas refused $7,000. That is only ono case; there are many other instances. The Intelligencer tries to mention a few of the homes and difieren! enterprises being built every week. bur. it ia almost impossible to mention t-ierj all. With the completion of the Blue Ridge Railway, the building ot the in ter-urban Railway and the many other tremendous enterprises in soak which are sn*-e to materialize within a very short time, Anderson is certain to be come one of the big cities of the South. Anderson hs? the county and the people to make her great and there is no way co keep her down. There is general harmony among us all-the mill preBidont and the mill band, the planter and tho wage hand, the coun try man and the town mun-nnd who could wonder why we are prospering BO well nnd becoming BO great in the eyes of the world. - ' i ? ? m* - Marriages.

The petitions asking for an election on the question of "dispensary" or "no dispensary" have ali been sent in to the central prohibition committee. They have beuu freely signed by the voters of the county, the signatures amounting tc the gratifying total of 2,689. The evidences of corruption and rottenness brought out by the investi gation committee in Spartan burg are doing much to strengthen the prohibi tion cause in tho county. Many citi zen?, who have been undecided through lack ol'information or through strong advocacy of the dispensary law, are now ready to give their support and votes to have the dispensary re moved. A committee will check up the regis tration books of tho county to ascer tain the true number of registered voters. The task will bo a hard and tedious one, since there aro about 14, 000 names en the books. It ia estima ted that the registered voters of the county will not exceed 4,500. The county supervisor has not yet been asked to order an election for any particular date, but it is probable that it will be set on the same day that the general election is held to ratify the choice of the nominee selected in the Democratic primary. This will be about the middle of September. The Fire Department and the Officers in Command. At the meeting of the delegates of fire companies held last night at de partment headquarters, Mr. Clarence Smith was elected Chief of the Fire Department, Mr. W. P. Nicholson was elected Assistant Chief and Mr. Mc David Horton Department Secretary and Treasurer. The Fire Department is in excellent shape and is giving a regular paid tire department service. Tho city sometime ago had part of the second story of the City Hall cut up and converted into sleeping quar ters for tiiemen, and this gives a dozen men ready for service at any hour of the night. Brass rods will be placed in position so the men can slide down to the different tire apparatuses from their beds, thereby giving quicker ser vice. The Pioneer Hose Wagon Compauy is under Capt. John Gaillard And the driver is Mr. Isom Kay, who stays on duty nigh': aud day, ever ready to pull the lines over Mack and John-the noble pair of horses who have been do ing nome service for several years and who are just us good today as the first day the tire gong sounded behind them The Hook &. Ladder Fire Company ie under Capt. Victor B. Cheshire. This company was originally an indepen dent company and was organized some twenty-five yearaftgoby seven young men and were known aa "tbe little seven." The seven was composed ol William Wilson. Dick Seligman, F. A. Spellman, A. W. Todd. G. M. Tolly, John Arnold and A. C. Pinkind. The next man to join was G. F. Bigby, who has served aa Chief so many yean; with cicdit to himc-'f tied the depart ment, and the only one of the original organizers who is still a member of the company. The big heavy truck is now drawn by a magniiicent pair of horses-Frank and Dick-and the driver. Mr. Wiley Driskell, has had a great deal of ox Eerience in handling horses and has hit orees well trained. The big gray, Frank, is admired by everybody who sees him, and has been doing tire ser vice for six years. Earle Greene and Ernest Brown have just been added to the sleeping force at the ball. The Rough and Ready Fire Company is under the Captaincy of John Kicks, with Peter Lee as the di i ver of Black Patti, the big black mare which draw? the hoBO cart. The Roughs give good service and do not mind going int? dangerous places wben necenaity de mands. The City Council has just do nated $000 with which to purchase s new hose wagon for the company. The one now in use by this company was the first horse hose cart used by the department and was bought about twenty years ago. Each Fire Company bns twenty-five members and thia gives the city sev enty-five men in all. Chief Smith states that he will ai once inaugurate several changes needed in. the fire department and give Biiict rules as tc the management of the different fire teams. This tine been greatly Deeded and the new set of rules to bu issued by the new duel will be welcomed by the fire drivers as well UH by all the tirem?n. Those who know the new chief best state that he will put new life into the department. Chief Smith will probably order an annual inspection for the 25th of Au gust;. It bas been several years since un inspection has been held and one now would not be ont of place, and il would draw a large crowd to the city. Reunion of Orr's Regiment. The annual reunion of Orr's Regi ment was held at Honea Path last week, beginning on Tuesday night and continuing through Wednesday.

Russell, two young 10-year old printers who have been with the Daily Mail for some time, left Ander son Sunday morning on tho eleven o'clock train. They told some of their young friends before leaving that they intended to go to the Panama Canal. Young Russell has a brother, W. E. Russell, who is in the Government service at Panama. TheBO young boys are very bright and cracking good printers, and their friends are confi dent that they will take care of them selves, it they remain in the United j States it will be an easy matter for ; them to secure all the work they want in printing offices. But it will not be ! surprising at all if we receive news that they are bound for Panama on one of Uncle Sam's war ships. The parents of the young boys have done a great deal of telegraphing, try ing to catch them, but so far have not been able to locate them. The Anderson-Ensley Trolley Line.
