Mr. II. Lawrence Smith, who escapetl
from Jail here few weeks ago, came up on
Inst Tuesday and delivered himself to Sheriff
mcdonnell to serve out the balance of his
term. Te seemed In good spirits and say;
that he only wanted to spend while with
his mother, and lie now wants to finish ont
MS sentence to be free man once more.
This is the last of the prisoners who escaped
and hence the only result of the Jail delivery
has been to have the building thoroughly
repaired, so us to prevent any recurrence of
the escape in future.
Mr.. II. Il. FAINT. the Agent of the Southern
Express Company at this place, informs us
that this Company has reduced the rate of
charges for shipping fruits from here to
Columbia and Charleston. All persons
wishing to ship fruit to either of these
markets would do we'll to call for further
particulars as to the manner of hacking
price, &C., upon Mr.. II. B. Font, the cour-
teous agent at the Greenville e. Columbia
Railroad depot. This action Of the Compa-
ny is considcrate and is intended to encour-
age the production Of fruits in this section
We hope it will result in assisting to accom-
plish the intended end.
The finest peaches we have seen this sea-
son were brought us by Mr. A. A. Dean ON
last Tuesday. They were of the largest and
most luscious variety Of the Chinese Cling,
and Mr.. Dean will please accept our thanks
for the liberal supply, which was rare
treat. From the specimens we have seen
this summer we are confident that Ander-
son County is capable of becoming one of
the most prosperous fruit-growing sections
in the world, and We are highly gratified to
know that its resources in this respect arc
being utilized. Every farmer should en-
deavor to cultivate his orchard, and if men
would engage in it upon large enough
scale to ship fruits to the cities, much
money could be made from it. any man
who can raise such peaches as Mr.. Deans
can always find q ready sale for them in
market
Capt. 5. NJ. Pegg, who has been over vari-
ous portions of Anderson County in the
interest Of his new County map furnishes
us with the following information relative
to the temperature Of water in Anderson
County: Mr.. William Shearer, in Sayan-
nah township, has the we'll Of coolest wuter
in the County, having temperature of 56S
degrees, Farenheit, and Mess-s. j. F. Wilson
and r. S. Hill have the next coldest wells,
each registering 81 degrees. Mr. J. Willett
Provost has the spring of coolest water i'm
the County, which is 503 degrees. The
WILLIAMSON Mineral Spring has tempera-
ture of GO degrees, and Keys Spring of COL
degrees. Other wells and springs have very
nearly the same temperature, and the water
of Anderson County is equal to any in the
State, and we do not believe it would be
much Of an exaggeration to cay that it is
equal to any in the world
We would call attention of the afflicted to
the advertisement of the Atlanta Surgical
Institute, which appears in another column,
announcing that DR.. j. w. GItriey, the sur
geon in charge, will visit Anderson on the
