I The wool factory and saw mill of Mr..
e. p. Earle, at Andersonville, were de
stroyed by fire Tuesday morning about 6
o'clock. The fire was not discovered until
! the buildings were nearly consumed, and as
there had been no FIRE about the factory or
mill, which are very near together, and as
fresh tracks were seen about the place, there
can be no doubt the burning was the work
of an incendiary. The loss is estimated at
about $500. No insurance.

We print elsewhere letter to the Charles
ton Ne,ps and Courier written from William
ston, proposing the formation OF q new
county of portions of Anderson and Green
vile. The proposition is so ridiculous that
we cannot help thinking the article was
written by some one extremely anxious to
see something from his pen in print or who
campaign that would as surely as the sun
shines end in the defeat of the new county
idea. We shall await further developments,
which will be given to our readers as they
appear.

/. tendent Of Education, paid our town brief
visit on last Tuesday. While here he visi-

government and exercises. Mr.. Thompson
has managed the educational interests of the
State to the satisfaction of the people, and
to his prudent and cautions recommends

tration of the means at his command is due
the increased efficiency of the public schools
over that of his predecessors.
