Leiper, of Chester, Pa., has leased the Leiper-Davis quarries, in this consty. Arriving at Alston quite recently with a carload of ma chinery he has commenced the opening of the Holley deposit and has already made shipments of this unusually fine granite to Philadelphia and other paints in Peansylvania. Mr. Leiper is a quarryman of lifelong experience, representing the third generation of his family who have operated the cele brated L?ipar quarries at Chester, Pa. H tvin' bad his attention directed to the Leiper-Davis quarries he explored them lait year, carrying h,)me with him two c;r!oads of sample3. Wtile the other deposits proved to be of fine granite the specimens from the Holley and Martin ledges were foand to e of ertra fiue quality-the Helley granite being prononaced the fnest in texture and c )lor for monumental work ever offered in the Northern markets-supe rior to the celebrated Westerly stone of Massachusetts. A striking characteristic of the noted grnuite fields of Fairfl;ld County is that tha quality of stone improves in a westerly direction until the Holley ledge is reached where the grade shades off to the banks of B:oad River, the Holley forming the apex of the angle of quality. Plenty of capital is behind Mr. Leiper and the prediction is confi dently made it there is no disapp oint ment in the stone as the . ledge is opened, that the commercial centre of the granite business will shift from the rock-bound fields of Massachu setts to the red hi!ls of old Fairfield. Mr. Leiper has with him Mr. Phi'.ip Oglesby, of the firm of Rawtons & OgIenby, who conduct a large stone business in Chester, Pa , ant Mr. John Daroty, qiarryman, wh- has bsen "plugging" the rocks of Pennsylvania far twentey-eears. .itr. O4,esby is 'iting up hispolishing machinery and will cut, polish and engrave the hand some stone at the quarries. - Besides being an experienced quar ryman, Mr. Leiper is fond of the "Horse, the Hound and the Horn," and at leisure time will awaken the old *hills of Little River with the "mnusie of the chase." We extend to these gentlemen a ie'arty welcnme to Fairfield, wishing them, in their enterprise, a fall meas ure of success. THE opening up of the Leiper-Davis quarries will furnish much needed employment to local labor; already a number of hauls are gettite work there.. THE -OLD ANDERSON PLACE. One o'f the most interesting o'd colo nial houses in these parts is the resi dence of Mr. Thos. Anderson oni Lit tie Rivar. Mr. Anderson's family is the fourth. generation to ecoupy this handsome old place which was settled over a hundred and ten y ears ago. The commodious dwelling, built of brick and stock, is in a fine sta "f preser vation, the plastering wi a un 'some ~ ceiling decorations has en reely a: crack, except that caused by the carth quake in 1886, and everywhere there are evidenees of wealth with refine ment and espicity to eDjoy it by those who have lived there. From a small -c'urt in the rear of the dwelling the ground slopes away precipitonsly to a creek. Built on the side of this slope is the garden in thre3 terraces, the walls of which are ten or t welves feet - high, made of granite and beautifully draped writh festootns of English ivy and trumpet vines. On the upper terrace shrubbery and flowers are growing, the two lower being used for vegetables. These terraces represent the work of three genesatious; Mr. Anderson's great grandfather having built the~ first; his grandfather the second, and his father the third. A fourth terrace has been made by the present occupant on the other side of the bill, tons perpetuating the wot k of his ancestors. A section of the wall of the first terrace is formed by a h,ge granite boulder, the fuat top of which is level with the top of the wall. On this boulder, which forms the fl->or, stands the smoke-house, built of hewn logs by ths great grandfather over a century ago. This smoke-house is used by Mr. Anderson to-day and the legs are as sound as when put in the walls. * During the Revolutionary war Tarleton campb4lon the plantation and the great grandfather used to - p home at night to visit his family, .eing very nep.rly captured on Eeveral~occa sions. by the treachery of his tory fieighbors. In 1863 a part of Sher . *an's army, detained by the rise in the river, camped near the house, and M. Anderson, Hlke his great g.rand-' on gin where the lint was2taken from the saws-an invention [which has affected civilization, perhaps as much as any otberr. There are many other things o in terest about this old homestead, ong others can b3 mertioned a - nding clock one hundred and s' y years old which still ticks the t' e awa. While recently enjo ng the hospi tality of the "fourt neration'' your correspondent's interest lingered around thess old, things wishing that they could speak to us of "ye olden lime." / D.

A GREAT REUNION. No. 4 !r. Editor: On our return from old Fort Johnson and surroundings, as re lated in my last, one of our ladies being tired and somewhat sickened by the ride on the water, concluded she would not risk another trip at once, and so returned to our home to rest; the others of our party decided on a trip to Fort Sumter. I soon found at the wharf a neat and trim little naptha boat, called the E. H. Jackion, on which we took swift and pleasant pas sage. As we neared the old fort we found another larger boat-the Planter I think-at the landing; so our captain steamed out beyond and up the chan nel some distance until the other vessel moved cut of the way, when we turned and ran back and were soon lashed to the pier. Here a new diffi colty, unforsee. by the passengers, presented itself, for our little craft was so lo .th%t to reach the landing on the wharf our gang plank had to be laid at an angle of about forty-five degrees as it seemed to me, and then the lightness of our vessel, lashed as it was by the advancing and receding waves, made it so unsteady that I was.ac'ually apprehensive of danger, ecpecially to our feminine genders; but with t wo men at the foot on the boat and two on the wharf to hold the plank s'eady, and plenty of willing hand4 to aid, the landing wa; SOOn saccessfully accomplished, indeed 1 believe our women showed less fear than we of the sterr.er sex, for they clicmed like they were used to it. Once on top I realizsd a sensation never be fo,re felt, for although I had often passed near Fort Sumter, both in time of war and peace, I bad never set foot on the inside, and-in fagt can hardly be said to have been inside yet, but on top, for it is not now what it once was; teno, the brick walls that were so bat'ered and kno :ked down by artillery daring- the war have been rebuilt, so that the exterior looks somen hat familiar, but the port holes, which once bristled with big war dogs, ready to belch forth fire and iron upon the approach of a hostile ship are now all filled in with brick, and inside the walls have been filled in almost to the top. I don't know what is the plan contemplated for its completion, but at present there ace no parapet guns. Indeed there is only one gun mounted, and that is far back from the south eastern wall, and is so arranged as to command the channel and indeed can be turned west, south or east as oc easion may require. It is a monster of a gun, a short description of which I made note of as given by one of the garrison, to wit: a 12-inch breech loading rifle, 38 feet long, projectile weighing one thousand pounds and requires a charge of four hundred and eighty pounds of powder, can shoot 15 miles, average range 12 miles. The diameter at the breech is I think about four feet, and at the muzzle mu.st be about twelve inches. I was told by the eams soldier who detailed these facts to me that by the use of modern range finding and sighting aparatus, an objset the size of the lighthouse on Morris Island for in stance, which is some five or six miles away perhaps, could be hit almost every time, and notwithstanding the immense weight of the gun, I forget how many ton's, a child's or lady's tiny ,band can easily change its po sition so as to bring it to bear on any object within its radius, indeed our woman tested it. There are prepara tions being made for mounting another of these monsters. I don't know how many more are to be in position when the fort is completed. But the sound of the whistle ad monishes us that our boat is ready to leave, and without seeing half the points of interest, I who have con sumed the tiene examining the big gun and asking questions, must hurry away. Our women took in more, and when again safely on board could tell, me of their visit down to the water's edge on the west side and of the shells they gathered, and of their going down into the msgazine, &c., &c., but as is often the case with them, they were so long getting back that I feared the captain would pull of and leave them, but his patience was eqnal to the emergency, and so after awhile they wore all safely lowered into the boat and we steamed back to the wa-f.
