modelling their present church edilice or
erecting new building The Church, in
its conference on last Sunday, appointed n
committee to inquire into the cost. rcport n
plan and raise the money necessary to carry

The State Board of Agriculture propose
to establish three experimental farms in
the state, one in the up-country, one in the
low-country and one in the middle coun-
try, for the purpose Of making experiments
i'll farming. Col. Butler, Commissioner of
Agriculture, Is now prospecting for loca-
ton. Anderson County would be very
propitious place for the establishment of
the up country farm. We extend the Com
missioner an invitation to visit Anderson
County.
II seems that some of our people are not
aware that il is against ;ne Ordinance Of
the city to shoot of any firearm within the
incorporated limits. One Of our citizens
has recently been annoyed frequently by
persons shooting recklessly about his prem.
lses. Very often the shot would rattle
against his house, frightening the occupants
no little. This reckless shooting may Sc
riousIy injure some person one Of these
days, and we trust that the police will en-
deavor to put stop to it.

We desire to call the attention Of the
County Commissioners to that famous Old
mud hole near the residence Of the late Mr..
Wilcox, Oh the Generals road. A gentle.
man, who has travelled this road for NUM-
Der of years, remarked to us on last Tues
day that this mud hole is in n worse condi-
ton than he has known it for years. We
doubt if there is o worse place in the Coun-
ty. Every few days somebody's vehicle is
badly damaged there. This is one of the
most extensively travelled roads leading into
tho city, and our Commissioners should do
something Immediately towards improving
the condition of this mud hole.

A gentleman remarked to us the other
