WHAT I SAW IN THE~UP-~
COUNTBY.
.If there's a hole ia a' jour coats,
I rede ye tent it."
Aa enforced sojourn of six weeks in
what is known to es as the ep-country,
bas renewed my acquaintance with
soaae conditions of life, and enabled )
ate to form that of others, a description j
of all of which may be of interest to
tbe readers of this journal.
Greenville where I stopped two
weeks, is the riebest city of the pied?
mont region. It rs the herne cf many
mea of large wealth, but unfortunately,
there appears to exist among them a
spirit similar to that which is slowly
petrify ing Charleston. Rather than
got oat and nish forward or into exis?
tence enterprises which would advance
tbe interests of the community and
themselves especially, they prefer to ac
eept savings' bank or other small returns
for their funds. New York has reached
the point where she can very weli afford
ft Murray Hill aristocracy, but when
towns like Greenville iusist upon a sim?
ilar indulgence, particularly in this
State, which has abundant room for the
iWceessfnl employment of all its owe
Waides any reasonable amount of other
people's capital, a Sourishing crop of
moss invaiiably appropriates the waste
places which thoald be cultivated in the
sore remunerative one of pluck and
energy. The city government of Green?
ville has eviaently been bad for seme
years, as shown by the woeful condition
of the streets, the openly expressed dis?
satisfaction of the people, and, by way
of example, the fact that the city has
. jost been swindled to the extent of
about $25,000 in the matter of electric
fights. As we of Sumter are to make
a asilar experiment, it ?3 to be hoped
^fiorexperience will be different, and I
nave eegfefenec enough in those in
charge of the business, to~feel confident
that it will. Greenville is just com?
pleting her new graded* school system,
which promises to be a model. Money
baa not been spared to make the accom?
modations such as the needs of the city
demand. I am inclined to think that
the average intelligence of Greenville
is greater than that of any other com?
munity in the State. The city has long
enjoyed exceptional educational facili?
ties, and results have created a hunger
for knowledge which can be appeased
only by keeping these facilities abreast:
of the times. I spent a day very
pleasantry at the new Hotel Altamont,
which crowns the summit of Paris j
Mountain. The house was cot then
complete hut has since opened with the
most encouraging prospects. The loca?
tion ts a natural resort for such as need
reet and recreation, and will most cer?
tainly attract as many as can be accom?
modated. Flanked by such tremen?
dously energetic towo3 as Anderson and
Spartan burg, Greenville must reach
down low and catoh a better hold or she
will at an early day develop that vlf ?mum j
morievs of respectability-an inclina-,
lion to boast of former greatness. She
must build the C. K. & \V. railroad or
become an insulted way station of the
Bichmond & Danville.
For sene years past, grape culture j
bas attracted much attention from tho
mor? advanced agricultural thinkers of !
?rreenvTe and Oconee counties. The
climate and soil appear to be thorough- :
ty adapted to the growth of the vino, j
and tho time is not far distant ?hen
most other crops must give place to
il tn that section. Ten years ago, ?ine
jards wore unknown, now thousands of
gallons of wine are annually shipped
from Greenville, and in the summer '
season, no table is too poor to afford an |
abondance of grapes. The industry is j
still in its infancy though macy carloads ;
.f grapes are shipped Nur th and South, j
Thus far it has been impossible to divest
grape growers of the idea that sugar is j
necessary to make good wine, but they j
will undoubtedly discover that they j
most look to claret wines alone fer their ;
mose j.
The grape industry ha2 advance d fur?
ther in the neighborhood of \V'a:haI!u. !
khan elsewhere in the State. Mr. i
Wieeking cf that place ships large !
quantities of fruit to Birmingham and !
on the day of my departure I saw Mr. j
Wanner loading a consignment (to j
Charleston I think.) This town for- j
merly eoatroiied a large mountain trade j
and was a shipping point for cattle, but^
toe extension of the Western North !
* j
Carolina road has turnod much of lids .
trade in another direction. The future ;
of the place depends upon the wine and j
?tock industries. Numbers of high j
grade horses and Sne mules are raised j
aouaali}, and at a stock show in Pen
dfetoo some day3 since, no less than ?
sixty mule colts were shown in one lot. j
A wine and distilling company has just j
commenced business in Walhalla, and i
some idea of its Srst seasons werk ruay j
be obtained from t?e tact that it has
made 1,000 galions of blackberry bran- ?
dy alone.
Walhalla is a very prosperous tow:;
which annually furnishes lar^e o nan ci?
ties of produce for the consumption of
other places moro advantageously lo?
caled from a commercial point of view, j
It is, also, a summer resort for bau
dreds frmu the coast region, and ranks !
among the pleasantest u?d healthiest of '.
such re ?M? ti?.
The grain and fruit crops of this sec?
tion are the largest for many years, but
thc season was too late for cotton.
Chcohee Valley, in tho western part of
Oconee county is the pn ttiest country
? ever saw. Extensive ?e?d3 of corn
bear evidence t:- the thrift of thc people,
while the circling Mountains furnish a
background of varying and endless beau?
ty to a picture which, has few equals in
America. From this place I visited the
exotto town of Highlands. N. C , cross?
ing in a journey of '22 miles, portions
of three States, and traversing a road
which nothing but the energy and per?
severance of a yankee could have con?
structed. The town is situated at an
altitude of about 4,000 feet and posses?
ses a climate unrivalled for its dryness
and evenness. The inhabitants are
principally settlers from the Northern
States. Thc only communication with
the outside world is by stage "lines to
Walhalla and Seneca-. Thc temperature
is too low for the successful cultivation
of anything but grass, clover and vege?
tables, but these grew to perfection.
Blackberries are perfectly green in
August and English peas have just be?
come large enough for table uso. Many
boarding houses arc filled with guests
during the summer, among which I can
not do less than mention specially that
of Mr. Smith, of Pennsylvania, where
I received unstinted hospitality. Mr.
W. F. B. llaynsworth was with me
there and will join me in my remem?
brance of our kind host and hostess.
Highlands is certainly a model resort
ior those aSictcd with pulmonary trou- j
bles, and all seeking great altitude and
freedom from dust, dampness and heat.
The uniform kindness and polite?
ness of ail tho up-country people will
attract attention from the most care?
less, and one cannot leave them with
ausht but pleasant recollections of these
and kindred virtues.
in my wanderings, I found no place j
where life can be spent more pleasantly
and happily than in Sumter County ;
nor did I note anywhere a more encour?
aging prospect than now greets the pro?
ducing cliss in our County.
THE GALLANT SHEHMAK.
We supposed that after the exit of
Lynch and the coihpse of the Boston
Syndicate, the Columbia Record had
j resumed the garb of decency, but the
following has a tendency to shake our !
preconceived opinion :
A notable innovation on time honored cus- j
toms will be made at the annual banquet cf
the Army of tee Tennessee in Cincinnati.
Ladies r.re incited to the banquet, and will
sit in their places among the brave array vet- ;
erans. At the head of the table will preside
j that gay old boy, Gen. Sherman, whose gal
j lan try in peace has been, in a different way
j no lees renowned tana it vras ia war. The
! old general likes the Innovation.
Bow the people of Columbia can read
complimentary pleasantries in their
city papers concerning the man who
burnt their city, stole their property,
abused their wives and children and
then attempted to lie himself clear of J
his villany, is beyond our eomprchen- j
sion. It is pure hypocrccy for any citi- j
2en of this State to affect the slightest
allowance fer W. T. Sherman. South ;
Carolina can accept all other results of j
the war except this Send of ?re and J
starvation. !
As if to disprove all intisiaifoa that ]
Shermsn is worthy the treatment of a j
gentleman, the following appears in
yesterday's papers :
ST LOUIS, August 25.-A dispatch from
Augusta, Ga., sa) s :
The ouesticn, why did net Gen. Sherman
coree to Augusta instead of going to Savan?
nah when he made his march through Geor?
gia, has been so often asked aud commented
on, and without a satisfactory solution, that
Mr. P. A Stovail. editor o'f the Chronicle,
wrote to Gen. Sherman on the subject, and
I now prints the General's reply, ?3 follows :
My Dear Sir : I am just back f.-ju a visit
! to my daughter, who resides at Rosemont,
near Philadelphia, and Sad your !?:ier of tlie
I8:b. The '-March to the Ssa" from Atlanta
WHS resoi "ed on r.f:*-r Hood had got well on
bis way to Nashville. I then detached to
Gea. Tnomas a force sufficient to whip Hoed,
which he, in December, ISG4, verr hand?
somely and cocclueive'y did. Still I had left
a very respectable army, and resolved to join
Grant at Richmond. The distance was one
thousand miles, and prudence dictated a base
at Savannah cr Port Royal.
Our enemy had garrisons at Macon r.ad
Augusta. I figured on r.oth rnd passed be?
tween to Savannah. Thea rting north
war;:, the saine problem pres? nted itself at
Augusta and Charleston. : figured on both;
but passed between. \ did not want to drive
out Karrisons ahead of meat thc crossings of

etc. The mon:*-::: I passed Col um: ia the
factories, powder mills :.r.d chi stuft a -cumu?

j captured it with all its stores, fur which I had
i no use. 1 used Augusta twdce c3 a butfer.
It? <rar:is>lri was jas: where i: helped me.
It th? people of Augusta think I slighted
j them in thc winters of 1864 CS, by reason

j mistaken : cr it they lui uk I made a mistake j
; in strategy, let them s*y so, and with the

GLENS SPRINGS, Aug. 26, 18S9.
Pack your trunks, ye pale dyspeptics ; hurry
to these healing springs;
Com?, ye niling, for its waters, are a cure for
many things.
Herc no vapore have we, vapors neither inner
or external,
But society ?nd writer, climate, everything
supernal.
Crowds of gaesUr, np in the hudreds, please
our hosts and ni! our halls,
But too crowded are they never to meet all
demands ami ca!?3.
We've amusements, walking, reading, flirt?
ing, crokinole, ten pins,
While each evening lo the dancers, call per?
suasive vidins.
Oh ! that German where beaus to tie on their
aprons hasted.
And in twisting, fumbling, twitching, half
thc precious moments wasted,
Many a gay aud sprightly dancer, on that
sleek and waxen iloor,
Game to grief just like the gatleys wrecked on
Actinia's "fatal shore."
Trooping off to ten pin alley, go the young
?biks, bright and glad.
In their midst the gallant Captain, who can't
play unless he's "mad."
We've a brave and dauntless warrior, not
afra: I cf daring deed,
With a lady's slipper killed he "fierce and
dreadful centipede."
Recitations have ive, one of Charleston's elo?
quent divines,
Gave Macaulay's lay magnifique, beautiful
and stirring hues.
One could ahnosL see advancing, the white
piume cf brave Navarre,
A3 it iee the van at Ivry, gleaming like a
guiding star.
Then in sweetly mingled voices, clear as toces
of silver bell,
Came the note3 cf "Tired," followed by the
jolly "Tars Farewell."
And here I'll wreathe a garland for Newber
ry's fav'rite sen,
Silver-tongued and courteous has he many a
fadeiess laurel won,
Then came Castles in the Air, by no meaDS
. least upon our roil,
And then "Jane Courtcney" on our cars ia
sweetest accents stole.
And last, but certainly not least, we've a
good samaritan,
Only ours is a lady, while the ancient was a
mau.
For 'morg the sick and troubled she more
than acts her part,
And the Golden Rul?is written in big letters
on her heart.

?GIS.VN SraisGS, Aug. 26. 1839.
We Lave been here now a little more than a
wee!:, drinking the wonderful water and en?
joying the delightful society fer which Glenn
Springs has iong been noted. Everybody
here seems inclined to be sociable, people get
acquainted easily, and if one does not know
anybody or docs not feel like talking, he can
always find something to amuse, interest and
instruct. The large parlor is seldom deserted
escept at the fashionable hours of visiting the
spring or attending the ball room, and those
who take delight in gazing upon the charms
of beauty or listening to music can be enter?
tained there'by the hour. Those who seek the
pleasure of converse will always find in the
haiis or pir.zzas cr at the springs, groups of
talkers where he can either join in or quietly
listen, yon will find sometimes, a group of
the iegal fraternity in one place, where bit3 of
taw information can be picked up ; in another
placea let of farmers ate talking crop and
Alliauce; another group may be discussing
the news of the day, others telling jokes or
war reminiscences, and so on. You can
easily saunter around and select your topic
and find a seat. One of the topics when I
first arrived, but which has now been drop?
ped, was Cel. Dargan's .Mt. Clio Speech.
Some of the lawyers seemed struck by the
assertion that first grade intellect is no longer
needed for that pri.-fcsiion. Yesterday being
Sunday we had subjects of more or less serious
and intellectual scope. One groop in winch
1 chanced, discussed the ten lost tribes of
Israel, rnnning afterwards into Egyptian and
Bible history, Lew Wallace, author of Ben
Har, and lacraham, author cf the Prince of
the House or David, being the writers, prin?
cipally, referred to. I listened for H. Rider
.laggards' Cieopr.tra to be mentioned ; bat it i
was not. Another party, of which an oldi
Charleston pilot and cx-bloekade-rurmerj
seemed leader, discussed science and sense,/
Charleston bari cr. the jetties and their failure/
so far to acc.unpiiih any good, furnished the
text. / 1
There wns preaching nt the Episeop:!
Church here in thc morning, but the weathi r
being bad net many went out. We ha? e
two ministers in the Hotel, Rev. J. S. Cozbjy
from Newberry, and a young minister Rei
Stcedman. Eter. -Mr. Cosby preached
ni^ht in the hotel parlor.
The crowd 'nore is not quite as large
when we came, a good many having gone off,'
and the new arrivals for several days have
been light.
?have heard of one cr two remarkable cures
made by t!;e water here this season. A lady
from Coi!e:on ?eft here a few days ajro who
was seat herc by her physicians. _ She was
taken oat of bed and brought here, and kept
lier bed for a week pfter .trrivir.^-, bu: im-)
proved rapidly, and at the end cf that time/
got up. Shr was soon able to walk to tho
springs three times a day, and at the end ct
three weeks h fi quite well, lier sickness wai
a liver trouble. V
Tiie shipment of water has grown to be a>
large business, and almost every day since 1
have been here I have seen a four h ,c wagon
go off heavily loaded wi:h boxes of water,
h goes North as wei! as to all parts cf the
. Svath.
The Messrs. Simpson ar*; very attentive tc
ike wants of their guests, am! have added a
number of improvements to the buildings and
grounds since ? was hero last. The hotel is
well kept and thc fare good.
I had the pleasure of meeting hero a few
day3 ago Col. Rice, State Superintendent of
Education. He v, as in the neighborhood for
the purpose cf making an addrass at a meet?
ing, and, it being convenient, he spent a day
or.two here. He is very earnest in his work,
and eav3 the people throughout the State are
deeply interested in the matter of education.
He linds the people always ^mentir? ?stem.s
to his addresses, and he remarked upon the
rapid increase in the number of applicants
for beneficiary scholarships For instance he
has held :!::ee yearly examinations for the
Na-hville Normal Scholarships. There were
respectively seven, fifteen, and forty-five, for
the different years. He promised to let me
know in time before his next visit to Sumter
in ord< r that due r.??;ice v. ill ce ?iven.
While ir: the line of public oiheers I wi!!
mention that dipt. Edmead Bacon, of this
county is a candidate for Comptroller General.
Capt. Bacon is e?r!y ip the field, and wi!!

The New Privateer.
PRIVATEER, SUMTER CO., August 23.-In a
field un the Atlantic Const Line extension,
the-vil?ageof Privateer is being built. It is
about two miles from old Piivateer, by which
the stage coachrs used io run about a half a
century ago. Tue ''village" cow consists of
only four houses, ono ot which is the resi?
dence of the section rm-.ster's family. The
situation is a pretty one and somewhat roll?
ing. The railroad authorities seem lukewarm
about putting a depot there, but it would be
to their iuti-rcst to do so. It is a good
healthy place for a Iowa ; a good deal of
freight wouid be received there, and a depot
there would be a great convenience to thc
largest guano user? in the township. A depot
would pay well at Privateer.
Gaieties at Eose Hiil.
The most prominent social e^ent cf the sea?
son thus far was the hist bail given at Hose
Hill, on the 22d in3t. by the young men of
this neighborhood. The least I can say for
it is that it bears favorable comparison with
any similar occassion that has preceded it.
It was given in the great hall at Rose Util,
which was specially prepared and adorned
for thc occasion. Beautiful women and chiv?
alrous men, representatives of the best sochd
element of this county , thronged the salon,
and .were received and entertained in a style
which wealth atone cannot accomplish uuhss
supplemented by brains, tact and breeding.
The ladies vied with each, other even more
than usual in thc bewitching beauty and ele?
gance of their costumes, among the more
noticeable heinz those of Miss Smith, from
Georgetown, Miss Bennet from Charleston,
Miss Douglass from Columbia and Miss Moses
from Washington. Thc grounds were illum?
inated with chinese lanterns of various shades
and Simon's band furnished the music. The
committee were : W. E. Dick, Jr., D. M.
Rothschild, S. M. Colclough.

The Favorite
Medicino for Throat and Lang Diffi?
culties has long been, and still is, Ayers
Cherry Pectoral. It euros Croup,
Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, and
Asthma; soothes irritation of thc
Larynx and Fauces; strengthens the
Vocal Organs; allays soreness of tho
Lungs; prevents Consumption, and,
even in advanced stages o' that disease,
relieves Coughing and induces Sleep.
There is no other preparation for dis?
eases of tho throat and lungs to bc com?
pared with this remedy.
"My wife had a distressing cough.,
with pains in the side and breast. Wo
tried various medicines, but nono did
her any good until I got a bottle of
Ay er's Cherry Pectoral, which has cured
lier. A neighbor, Mrs. Glenn, had thc
measles, and tho cough was relieved by
tho use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I
have no hesitation in recommending this
Cough I?Iedic!rce
TO everyone afflicted."-Roh ort Horton,
Foreman Headlight, Morrillion, Ark.
"I havo been afflicted with asthma
for forty years. East spring I was taken
with a violent cough, which threatened
to terminate my days. Every ono pro?
nounced mo in consumption. I deter?
mined to try Ayer's C norry Pectoral.
Its effects wcro magical. I was immedi?
ately relieved and continued to improve
until entirely recovered."-Joel Bollard,
Guilford, Conn,
" Six months ago I had a severo hem
trrhago of tho lungs, brought on by an
Incessant cough which deprived mo of
sleep and rest. I tried various remo
?dies, but obtained no relief until I ho?
rgan to take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. A
few bottles of this medicino cured mo."
Mrs. E. Coburn, 19 Second st., Lowell,
Mass.
"For children afflicted with colds,
toughs, sore throat, or croup, I do not
know of any remedy which will givo
moro speedy relief than Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. I have found it, also, invalu?
able in cases cf "Whooping Cough." -

The attention of Mill Owners, House Builders and Real
Estate Owners is called to the economy and advisability of
usine; Fire Brick. Furnaces built of them are seldom out of
repair and when once a fire-place is built with Fire Brick, the
trouble, annoyance and expense of repairing it (which usually
occurs about once a season) ceases entirely.
I handle Fire Brick by the car load, and am therefore en?
abled to oiler them at prices as cheap as they can be bought in
small quantities anywhere. When in want of them 1 hope to
supply you.
