C., July 22?It has just been announced by the War Department at Washington that a special detachment of United States Regular troops, together with machine gun equipment, will be sent to Anderson for the encampment of state troops, which opens in this city Wednesday, July 23, and extends on for eight days. Since this announcement : has been made, it is believed that thousands of people will take advan- 1 tage of the low rates offered and come to Anderson, for the purpose of 1 observing the rr\aneouvers of the I state troops, the expert work of the j United States regulars and the spec- ( ial work which will be done by the 1 United States specially equipped machine gun oufit. It has not yet been definitely determined just which day will be des- , ignated as Governor's Day by the Military authorities, though it is stated that a Regimental Dress parade will be held on that day, and reviewed by the Governor, Gen, Moore, Governmental officials and various state dignitaries. The railroads of the state have an- 1 nounced especially low rates to Anderson account the encampment, while the Greenville, Spartanburg & Anderson electric interurban railway 1 has given especially attractive rates. J This will be the first opportunity , people of the Upper South have had ; to see a joint movement of state and i federal troops, together with machine 1 gun equipment, and it is believed that no one will miss an opportunity \ to view the same. 1 P.

INVENTED THE TYPEWRITER First Machine for Writing Work of John Pratt, of Alabama, Who Moved There From Union District, S. C. Birmingham Ledger. To John Jonathan Pratt, of Center, Cherokee county, Alabama, who de? veloped the writer's cramp, the United States owes the invention of the typewriter. His remains now rest near his log house on the CenterLeesburg road practically unknown by the passerby. Claude M. Hall, of Birmingham, has lately inaugurated a campaign to revive interest in the memory of the inventor and hopes the result will be the rearing of a monument over the lonely grave of the genius. His plan involves small subscriptions by users of the typewriter throughout Ala bama and even the nation. It. B. Smyer, of Birmingham, married Mr. Pratt's niece. The story of Mr. Pratt's struggles to have his invention made into a practical instrument and his final success, of which others came near to absolutely depriving him, is told in the following article penned by Editor Shropshire, of the Coosa River News, published at Center, Ala. It reads as follows: Shetch of His Life. There are two or three other claimants for the distinction of inventing the typewriter, but the honor belongs to a Center man by name of John Jonathan Pratt, who died in Chattanooga, Tenn., on Saturday, June *4, 1905. He was 74 years of age at the tim eof his death. By birth he was ?. uuui.1. vaivfiiniitii* in; came 10 center in 1850 from Union District, S. C. He resided in Center until fifteen years before his death, moving to Brooklyn, N. Y., about 1890. Two years before his death Mr. Pratt moved to Chattanooga. This preliminary information was elicited by the following personal inquiry: "Birmingham, Ala., October 5, 1912. "Mr. T. H. Shroushire, Center, Ala. Dear Tol: I certainly would be glad if you will print in the News a history of the John Pratt typewriter. I hav? a lot of friends in Birmingham who would be glail to read it. I claim he^was the original invanUw wfilers?that is, the first one in existance. Am I rioht? Ro. member having read it in the News at one time, but have forgotten whether he was the original inventor or not. , Claude M. Hall. "Boyle's Store." On December 19, 1857, Mr Pratt was appointed register in chancery of Cherokee county and held the job until February 22, 1864. He had been working on a machine before this, but while register, he took writer's cramp and declared that he would invent a typewriter to save such suffering. He fixed a machine that worked earlier, but did not bej gin the active sales of the invention until 1867, in London, England. Visited England. He borrowed $10,000 from an aunt ?Miss Elizabeth Herndon, who resided in South Carolina?in 1866, or 1867, to finance the operations and perfect patents both here and in the states of Europe. However, he made his first trip to London early in the civil war and on this very particular work. While in England his machine excited a great deal of comment in London naners and t.heir rioeprintinn attracted the attention of Messrs. Scholes and Glaudden, of Milwaukee, who straightway "invented" the world-wide Remington machine. Before taking leave for Europe, in 1866 he entered into a contract with some parties in. Memphis, Tenn., to perfect patents at Washington, and to manufacture his machine. They violated the contract and upon his return from abroad he met Mr. Hammond, a wealthy merchant of New York, who agreed to defeat the Memphis men, which he did, under consideration of Pratt's allowing him (Hammond) to manufacture the typewriter under the name of Hammnnrf. Retained oh Salary. Mr. Hammond then kept Pratt in his employ until death at $2,500 per annum and also gave him 50 cents royalty on all machines sold. Both the Remington and Hammond typewriter, therefore originated in Mr. Pratt's brain back in the fifties. The grave of the inventor lies two hundred yards of his old log residence, where he made his first models, and within fifty yards of the Center- Leesburg road. Strange enough to relate hundreds of people, both domestic and visitors, pass by the distinguished grave and pay no attention. "Such is fame." At a joint meeting of the stockholders of the three hotels at Wrightaville Beach, N. C., the closing for the season was considered, on account of a diminished patronage which is attributed to the laws prohibiting the sale of beer at the resort. And, too, where doubts of us exists, one little thoughtful thing will dispel it all. QUININE AND IRON-THE MOST EFFECTUAL GENERAL TONIC Grove's Tasteless chill Tonic Combines both in Tasteless form.
