their quota by sending to this Office.
We are informed by citizens and physi-
clans OF Pendleton that the statement that
diphthe-ia was prevailing in that town is
mistake and that there has been none of it
in that vicinity.
Owing to rains which fell recently, q great
deal of fodder has been injured in different
sections of the County, and it is thought
the supply from the present crop will be
much smaller than it was last year.
Ifyou fail to see Ryans' you will miss
treat.
Cotton Is opening RAPIDLY. and our farm
ers are busiIy engaged il gathering 1t. The
yield this year, it is thought, will be about
that of an average year. Quite q number
of new bales have been brought to this
market.
We are glad to learn that Col. T. ]. Pick
ems is rapidly improving, and hopes soon to
be able to again be at his post in the Audi
tors office. In his absence the duties of the
Office are efficiently discharged by Mr.. ].
Miles Pickens and Mr.. Ernest Brown, who
have attended to it since last June.
Mr.. ]. C. Keys sent rs some specimens Of
his sweet potato crop, which are very fine
indeed. Mr.. Keys is always very successful
In the cultivation of this crop, and from
the specimens of tho yam and Spanish
varieties which he sent Us We have no
doub. that his crop this year is fully up to
his usual standard Of success.
That large number Of hats received by
C. A. Reed, Agent, recently, has already
\ been greatly reduced He has to-day re-
ceiyed another large lot. His store is GER
salnly headquarters for all the late styles Of
Mems and Boys Hats. His very low prices
account for his largo sales. 81
Messrs. Egon & Hill brought to our Office
Inst week very large and highly fruited
stalk of cotton, which was raised on Mr..
Nicholas Callaham's place, by the use of
Soluble Pacific Guano, for which they are
the agents in Anderson. It is the largest
and best fruited stalk Of cotton We have
seen this season.
Como to Masonic Hall and have good
laugh. l
We viii be pleased to see our subscribers
whom they sell their cotton, inssmuch as it

carried large number of subscribers who
are in arrears through the hard times Of the

The hop Of the Palmetto Rifemen at the
Hampton Park on last Friday evening was
a very pleasant affair, and brought out
good attendance of the beauty and elite of
the town. The evening was spent in dane.
Z Ing and conversation. Those present en-
ioyed themselves very much, and will be
glad to see On early repetition Of the enter
eainment.
Every church in Anderson. County ought
to take up collections and forward to the
yellow fever sufferers as soon as possible.
Even If the amount is small it will help
out, and an aggregation Of small sums will
raise good amount to assist in slleviating
the want and suffering Of our brethren of
the Mississippi Valley, who are afflicted
with the most terrible scourse that can
oyeftake mankind.
We hare been requested to give notice
that there will be ''Dime Reading" at

programme will be quite interesting, con-
s;stipg of music and reading. The public
are invited, and it is hoped that the attend

which we should gladly contribute.

We are requested to announce that Rev.
w. Il. Strickland will preach in the Gsptist
Church on next Sunday night upon the
subject of Temperance, in compliance with
q request from Anderson Division, Sons of
