A new bale of cotton was brought to Bel
ton on Saturday last by L. E. Campbell,
and was sold to a R. Campbell & Co. for
13s cents. The premium was hat and a
pair of shoes.
The first bale of cotton was received at
Honea Path on last Saturday morning. 1t
was brought by Dir. Joel Kay, who sold 1t
to Messrs. VIM. Lee & Co. for seventeen and
a quarter cents. The bale weighed AIS
pounds.
Mr.. J.. II. Clarke, the successful agent OF
the Singer Sewing Machine Company, has
for the last two weeks averaged more than
sale of one machine per day, and has just
received twenty new ones, which he offers
to those not already supplied.
The principal firms of the mercantile COM
munity of our town are now represented in
the city of New York by one or more men,
bers, who have gone there for the purpose
of selecting a stock of Fall and Winter goods.
Trade promises to be good during the COM
ing season.
The card of Messrs. Arnstein & Rose an
nounces new firm in the mercantile busi-
ness of Anderson. They are energetic and
enterprising gentlemen, and with the facili-
ties for business which they possess will
doubtless render their store popular estab-
lishment with the trading public.
The past two weeks have been favorable
for saving fodder, and much work has been
done in that direction. The corn crop is
favorably spoken of, but the indications as
to the yield of cotton in this County are un-
favorable, being estimated at from half to
three-fourths of an ordinary crop.
The Town Council have summoned Mr.. j.
B. MCGEE to answer the charge of weighing
a bale of cotton contrary to the provisions
of the recent Ordinance on that subject.
The case is set for trial on Monday next, and
will probably be made test of the validity
of the abominable Ordinance upon which
we have been forced to comment so much
recently.
Tbs first bale of new cotton was brought
to Anderson on last Saturday morning to
Messrs. Bleckley, Brown & Co., fer ship
ment, by Mr.. R. A. King, of the Fork
township, who has, for number of years
back, with the exception of last year. sold
the first bale of the season at this place.
Messrs. Bleckley, Brown & Co. paid Mr..
King a premium of five dollars in gold for
bringing in the first bale.
We would again state to the public that
all notices from Administrators and Execu-
tors must be paid for in advance of their inser-
tion in this paper. We cannot deviate from
this rule, and hope no one will ask us to do
80. Any person who looks over our books
under the credit system will fully under
stand the reason which compels uniform
enforcement of the cash rule in regard to
these advertisements.
The crowd in town on Monday, which
was saleday, was large for this season of the
year, though very little business was done.
The sales were unimportant, but land sold
very well-an. ordinary house with twelve
and three-faurths acres Of land in the town
of Williamson, was sold at sheriff's sale for
one thousand and seventy-five dollars.
Nothing Of note occurred during the day !;
however, things were rather lively in conse-
quence of the influence manifested by John
Barleycorn in the afternoon
Az alarm of fire on Tuesday morning, be-
tween ten and eleven o'clock, created quite a
sensation in town, and rallied our citizens in
large numbers to the assistance Of Messrs.
Orsborne & McCu1ly- whose steam mill and
tannery was discovered to be on fire. The
shingle roof Of the main building was caught
in two places, and it is supposed that sparks
from the smoke stack ignited the shingles,
which were so very dry as to burn rapidly.
The prompt exertions Of several persons
speedily extinguished the flames, and in
q few minutes all danger was over, much to
the qualification of the owners and their
numerous friends.
One of the finest fields Of cotton we ever
beheld is at Mr.. Malcolm Erwin's, on the sa-
luda River 1t is on high ridge, within a
few hundred yards of the river, and few
years ago the land was grown up in old field
pines. The growth of this cotton is quite
remarkable, and of course is due to careful
and intelligent culture, with liberal supply
of manure Several persons who are capable
ofjudging estimate the yield at twelve hun
dred pounds of lint cotton to the acre. We
would be pleased to give an account of the
preparation and cultivation, together with
the actual yield when ascertained, and trust
that Mr.. Erwin will find it convenient to
furnish our readers with statement at the
proper time.
