Cl;nkscales' Mills, on Hencoop Creek, ir
Martin Township, deserves passing notice
The machinery is of the latest improvement
and cannot be excelled in this section OF the
country. The wheat and grist mills are pro
PEELED by ar eighteen inch turbine wheel
The -four and meal are of superior quality
and we think the neighborhood is quite for
i tunate in this respect The miller, W. T
Taylor, has been engaged for twelve or four
\ teen years, and bears the reputation of
Estrictly honest and capable man among the
numerous customers.
o Captain Capers Shelton, colored comman-
der-in-chief of the MALTA company Of
Rock Mills township, has announced that
| he is Trial Justice for this County under
Governor Chamberlain's appointment, and
that he is in weekly correspondence with
his ex excellency. We advise this Captain
tocontent himself with his military renown'
as it will be dangerous to attempt the exer-
else of civic functions under an appointment
| of Chamberlain. Ifhedisregasds our friend
ly warning it will simply impose job on
Judge. Choke at his next judicial visit to
Anderson
An old bachelor of Anderson says he in
tends to offer himself rs . prize, to be COM
peted for at the next Annual County Fair, to
the young lady, under or above the age OF
eighteen, who can cook the best dinner In
the shortest space of time, and that several
have already expressed their intention to
compete for the prize. This WILL save the
Fair Association the usua! expense OF the
stove offered. on such occasions, and Will
rid Anderson of another bachelor. That's
right, George if you can't fool them one
way do it another, and hold them to their
promise.
sherard's Store, in the Dark Corner, is
one of the oldest institutions Of Anderson
County. For more than three quarters of
century, mercantile establishment bearing
this name has been conducted in this locali-
ty, and it has always been noted for liberali-
ty and fair dealing. Three generations of
the sherartls have kept up this store almost
without interruption, and the present pro-
prietor, Mr.. Thomas A. Sherard, can hope
fully expect to transmit the establishment
to the fourth generation, represented by a
young scion of the house bearing his name
and lineage.
The bull-dozing and eccentric young men
who conduct the Abbeville Medium, un.
mindful of the old adase that truth is
mighty and will prevail" recently attempt
ed to show that the senior editor of the TX.
7sL11aENcEa was responsible for the low
price uf cotton! We have not sod pound
of cotton this season. and IN truth have not
ginned any of our crop yet, as we are wait
ing for rise in the Abbeville market, where
we propose to offer the greater part of the
crop before great while. In fact, our cot
ton was planted expressly for that market,
and was never intended for home consump-
tion.
The Carswell Institute is rapidly develop
ing the resources of that neighborhood, and
in short time We may expect considera-
'ble town around it. Mr.i e. D. Pr,iiett hos
lately erected clearinghouse, where
pupils are accommodated with good board
at cheap rates. = Mr.. Samuel A. Dean built a
cottage there last year, and DR.. Milford is
now building house for Mr.. Ramsey OF
Greenville County, who is educating his
children at the Institute. Rev. W. E. Wal
ters, one of the principals, has just COM
pleted neat residence and the other prin-
cipal Rev. K. R. Carswell, has lately made
great improvements upon his residence.
Hollands Store, near the Savannah River,
is owned by Mr.. A. M; Holland, who re-
moved from Anderson twenty years ago this
spring, and has kept up store there ever
since, unless there mas hiatus during the
war He is monarch of all he surveys"
and owns quite a number Of cottages, which
are occupied by tenants. Besides, he has
saw mill and grist mill, which are run by
one of Tozer's AgraGltural Engines, and he
gins cotton during the season by the same
power. Mr.. Holland says that he has never
experienced loss by stealing during twenty
years, and leaves his iron and nails outside
the store, where they remain unmolested all
the time, This is saying good deal for the
honesty Of that community.
BlackwooGs Magazine for February, repub-
lished by the Leonard Scott Publishing Co.,
Il Barclay Street. New York, has long ar
ticle on the Situation in America" which
is perhaps as correct as the accounts written
BY foreigners of the political complications
in other countries generally are. The paper
on Philanthropy in War" is written by
soldier and philanthropist, who was active
in relieving those who suffered during the
Franco-German war. He explains the re-
lief systems adopted by various countries,
and discusses the question as to the legiti-
mate nature of this kind of neutral help.
The article entitled New Books notices
several recently published biographies, the
first in order, and the most interesting Of
which, is the Life of a Scotch Naturalist"
by Samuel Smiles. The sketch of his life
and character here given is we'll worth read
ing. 1T is the story of a poor shoemaker,
who is famous natural philosopher with
out ceasing tozmake shoes, or attaining in
his old age to any seat more easy than that
of the familiar bench" Part TX. of the
"Woman Eater" leaves US in doubt whether
few more chapters will finish the story, or
whether, like the brook, it will go on for
ever. A new serial. Pauline" is COM
menced in this number. The heroine ap-
pests to be person Of a determined, not to
say obstinate character, and the indications
are that she will meet with series of inter-
esting adventures. The periodicals reprint
ed by the Leonard Scott Publishing Co. al
Barclay Street, N. Y are as follows: The
Londo,, Quarterly Edinburgh, Westminster
and British Quarterly Revie.ns, and Black
