The InteHigcncer says: "The movement
for the establishment OF cotton factory at
Anderson has at last taken shape, and VIC
have no doubt that within thirty days the
capital stock, which it is proposed to place
at minimum of one huodrcd thousand
dollars, will have been subscribed and the
company be ready to organize and begin tn,

summer is over. Col. j. N. Brown is in
charge of the subscription list, which wild

ability ensures the easy raising of the sum
necessary to begin work. This is the most
important enterprise that could possibly be
undertaken in Anderson, and will return
moro benefits to the city and surrounding
country than our people can at first imagine.
1t will increase our population, will increase
the size of our city, and will add greatly to

INDoCTRINATE Your SCHoLARs.-Some
say Oh we want practical religion we
want to teach the children to Come to Jesus, u
Of course we all need more OF Christ but too
often that phrase is made the emptiest catch
word of excuse for inculcating mere senti-
mentality and vapid emotion. Men are invited
to "Come to Jesus" without any definite con-
ception of what it means, You must take that
word and fill it up with the doctrinal state
ments of Scripture, to know who Christ is,
and why we must come, and how he alone can
save us. We must carry the history OF Christ
back to the eternity past, and forward to the
eternity to come. We must not teach gos-
pei without law, OF a law without gospel.

A SOCIOLOGY ON CORNs.-CornS are OF two
vegetable and animal. Vegetable corn
grows on rows and animal corn grows on toes.
There are several kinds of corn: There is the
unicorn, the capricorn, pop corn, corn dodgers,
field corn and the corn which is the corn your
feet feel most. 1t is said, I believe, that 60
pliers like corn, but persons having corns do
not like to Ego fur if they can help it.
Corns have kernels and some colonies have
corns. Vegetable corn grows on the ears, but
animal corn grows on the feet at the other end
of the body Another kind of corn is the
acorn this grows on oaks but there is no hoax
about the corn. The acorn is corn with an
indefinite article added. Try it and see.
Many man when he has corn wishes 1t was
an acorn.
Folks that have corns sometimes send for u
doctor, and if the doctor himself is corned he
probably won't do as well as if he isn't. The
doctor says that corns are produced by tight
boots and shoes, which is probably the reason
why when manis tight they say he is corned.
If farmer manages well, he can get a good
deal Of corn on an acre, but I know farmer
who has one corn that makes the biggest acher
on his farm. The bigger crop of vegetable
corn man raises the better he likes it; but
the bigger crop of animal cOrnhe raises the bet
ter he does not like it, Another kind of corn
is the corn dodger. The way it is made is
very SIMPLE and it. is as follows-that is If
you want to know: You 60 along the street
and meet man who you know has corn,
and rough character then you step on the
toe that has the corn on it, and see If you
don't have occasion to dodge. In that way
you will find out what a corn dodger is

A Holy LIFE.-A holy life is made up of a
number of small things. Little words, not
eloquent speeches or sermons little deeds, not
miracles or battles, nor one great heroic act of
mighty martyrdom, make up the true Chris
tian life. The little, constant sunbeam, not
the lightning the waters of Sloan "that 60
softlyo in the meek mission of refreshment,
not the "waters of the river great and many,'
rushing down torrents, noise, and in force,
are the true symbols of a holy life. The
avoidance of little evils, little sins, little in
consistencies, little weaknesses, little follles,
indiscretions, and imprudences, little foibles,
little indulgences, and of the flesh; the avoid
ance of such little things as these goes far to
make up at least, the negative beauty OF a
holy life

A SUBTLE PoIsoN.-Sir Robert Christison
once testified in murder-by poison case that
he knew of substance so deadly that the mi
nutest quantity of it would infallbly prove
fatal, and yet it was so subtle that the most
careful examination would fail to detect its
presence in any of the tissues. He was about
to name the substance when the presiding
Judge begged him to keep so important Sc
cret to himself, lest it should be successfully
used for criminal purposes. Sir Robert told,
in after years, that for a long time following
the giving of that testimony he was daily i'll
receipt Of letters begging that the writer's
might be told the secret.
