l1artwell (Ga.) SuA: Some years before
the war, petition was laid before the South
Carolina Legislature for some purpose A
member from 'Sparklingburg Decstrict' OPP
posed the petition, and said that petitions
didn't amount to anything, that anybody

Messrs. Taylor & Cox, Of Belton, have
recently invented very valuable fire ex-
tinguisher. The extinguisher is so con-
structed that it can be attached to an engine
in gin house or any manufacturing cstab-
lishment, and when q fire breaks ont the
steam and hot water is utilized in extin-
gushing it. The machine has been tested,
and proven beyond doubt that it is sue
cess. The inventors will exhibit the ex-
tinguisher in the warehouse Of Messrs.
Bleckley, Brown & Fretwcll, in this city,
on the 18th inst, and everybody is cordial
ly invited to witness its operation.

Anderson was visited on last Monday by
| a novel show, composed of two men, two
women, three children, two bears and
monkey. They were travelling iii a two
wheeled cart, drawn by pony and two
donkeys, and were the roughest, dirtiest-

lied country. The bears were well trained,
and were followed over the city by large
crowd, who seemed much amused at their
antics. Nickels and dimes were freely
given to the showmen, who claimed to be
Turks. Such people should not be encour-
aged, for they are nothing more than tramps
miserable existence by exhibiting their
bears. They should not be allowed to enter
the streets of any town or city. We had
seen notices of this crowd in number Of
our State exchanges, and had hoped that
we would escape visit from them.
| On last Sunday morning Mrs. John Is.

She went out on the back piazza of her res

broken, though she was considerably
