rison, daughter of Capt. Charles Garrison,
OF Greenville County, and soon afterwards
removed to Greenville County, within q
mile Of his fathers residence in this County.
and has remained at the same place ever

1886, and has been an influential and useful
servant Of the Gospel. He was q meek,
amiable and intelligent gentleman of great
charity and benevolence towards the needy,

brothefly kindness towards all denomina-
tions, and was therefore justly popular and
beloved by all with whom he came in con-
tact. His family have the sincerest SYM

Nh. EprToR: You suggested o collection
in egerv chnreh for the yellow fever sufferers,
and this, I believe, has been acted ON in
aome congregations. But there ars two
objections to this plan no that the
Churches have many other collections, and
the other that many benevolent persons
would not bo reached In this w.y. .tseoms to
me Anderson County, as such, ahould move
in this matter. 1t 10 the abode Of health
and comparative prosperity. It owes some
acknowledgment OF special character for
the goodness OF God in this respect. There
ought to be committee in every township
Of Anderson County to solicit benefaetions
from every family. earnestly hope that
Che Mayor or Intendant Of your County
seat will appoint Q central COMMITTEES, anu
let that committee appoint subcommittee
in evsry township; or let the Intendant
himself directly make seappointments-
any way Ia !. win set the streams OF County

THE HRw COLLEGE At wAIaArrA, 9. Q

AR. EDITOR: Col. Keith said in his lecture
at the commencement in Walhalla that that
town had had the benefits of education for
ten years from the Eewberry College, and
that the town had been Transformed by it.
/ do not doubt the truth of his remark. On
the contrary, believe that the vi nle OF this
Piedmont region must feel ~ - the
benefits of the establishment OF a .lege at
WalhallR. Many youth win receive O
liberal education at that institution who
could never have gone to moro distant
schools. These upper counties OF South
Carolina ows it TO themselves and their
children to support and ondow the new
Walhalia College. OBsERvRR.

The assertioii being made by certain par
ties that the McSInith Music House Ia
nothing but sub-agents is huge mistake.
We are wholesale dealers, and are protected
by the factories we represent, and sell at
retail factory prices. We ara no little sub.
agent representing another little sub-agent,
but direct factory dealers, end tho assertion
that we sold Waters Piano or Organ is
simply false. We never sold one. 6nt we
caT buy from the factor that makes such as
are called the Waters instrument for those
who want such instruments, and We must
have every dollar cash. for they are subject

sell If you can, but remember our instru-
