object they have in view richly merits.
If you love u girl, young man, don't be
always looking at her like sheep dying
intestate. Walk up to her, Just as if you
had paid your washerwoman for the last
quarter, stare her in the face like sheet
iron darkey, and calmly propose to starve
her to death on six dollars week. Ten
chances to one she'll agree, and make you
spend your months board for a ring.
Don't be bashful.
AS the Christmas holidays draw nearer,
everybody is studying how much money
he or she can afford to spend for Christ
mas goods. While you are thus studying
take our advise and visit A. P. Johnston's
store and inspect his stock of toys, con-
fectioneries, fancy goods, &c. Santa
Claus has made his headquarters there,
and, with a small sum of money, you
will have no trouble in getting what you
want. Watch for DR.. Johnston's new ad-
vertisement next week.
Mr.. M. B. Arnstein, the affable proprie-
tor of the New York Cash Store, with his
usual progressiveness, has made great
reduction in prices of his goods, so as to
enable his legion of, customers to select
useful Christmas presents from his large
and beautiful stock. This act will no
doubt be appreciated by his customers:
He never lets his shelves get empty, and
you can always get what you want there.
Read his advertisement, and then give
him call early and often.
{ Mr.. J. C. Hamlin killed three hogs late
ly which netted ], ,O84 pounds, the oldest
one being fourteen months old and weigh
ing 43O pounds net. From the three he
made forty gallons Of lard. Mr.. w. T..
Dean killed three which netted 1883
pounds, the largest one weighing Alb.
Mr.. B. d. Martin killed one weighing sos
pounds. All of these were County raised
hogs, aud show that our people can raise
their own meat if they will. There is no
necessity to have our meat houses i'll the
West.
In cases of diphtheria, says an ex-
change, there are some remedies of simple
which can be used by every
body, and where the disease is suspected
some of these medicines should be ap-
Piled. The disease ottens grows very
rapidly, and if simple remedy is ap-
piled while physician is being sent for
good results may be obtained. Gargles of
chlorate of potassium or of alcohol. A
medicine that is used by physicians is the
tincture of chloride OF iron, which can be
had at any drug store. The dose for an
adult is fifteen drops every half hour
until the patient perspires, when the dan
ger is over. The medicine should be
kept in the house for use in sudden cases.
Mr.M. J. O'Neal, who resides near Pen
dleton, in this County, had the misfor..
tune to have his barn and stables burned
last Sunday, about IL O'Clock. In the
stables were two mules and milk COW.
which were also consumed. One of the
mules belonged to Mr.. ]. S. Fowler and
the other TO Mr.. J. c. brennan, both of
this city. A lot of corn, fodder, &c, was
also consumed with the barn. 1t is not
known how the FIRE originated. A few
days prior to this, Mr.. O'Neal had two
bales of cotton destroyed by fire while
hauling them from the gin. 1t is sup
posed that before leaving the gin spark
from the engine lodged in the cotton.
The cotton was not discovered on fire
until he had gone mile or more from
the gin, when it was too late to save it.
These losses. fall quite heavy on Mr..
O'Neal, who is worthy, industrious
young man.
The election upon the question of
license or no license in the City of Ander-
son, on last Thursday, resulted in a victory
for the advocates of license by majority
of twenty-five votes. The full registra-
ton was 4l0, of which only 374 voted. as
follows: For license 1913; against license
l76. The election was hotly contested,
but passed off without serious distur
bance. The license men had their voters
better in hand than the dry men, and
polled very nearly their full strength,
while the dry men lost both in the regis
ration and in the election poll. The ma.
ority of the colored vote was cast in
Favor of license, though through the in
luence of Rev. B. F. Witherspoon and
Rev. l.. T. Smith, of the Methodist and
Baptist Churches respectively, about forty
out Of 159 registered colored voters voted
against license. This left the white vote,
as near as can be ascertained, about so
for license to 136 against it. The election
fixes license for two years longer, unless
the legislature gives us the right to vote
lpon the subject in the County. Petitions
with over 1000 signatures OF substantial
citizens have been forwarded to the legis-
ature asking the right to hold County
election, and we have no doubt the right
will be granted. It will be done unless
BUR repres entatives refuse to give the
people the right to decide the matter for
and We have no idea that they
will take any such unreasonable position.
The question of building commodious
hotel in Anderson is being agitated by
quite number of our citizens at present.
We think it is timely and appropriate.
for if there ever was q place that needed
large hotel, that place is Anderson. In
deed, during any public occasion our
for entertaining visitors are in
adequate. Every Summer there are per-
sons who would come to Anderson to
spend month or two could they get ac-
The building of large
botel, therefore, is matter that every
citizen is interested in, and we believe,
were the proper efforts made. it would be
only short time before such q building
would be erected in our midst. Several
plans have been suggested as to the best
mode of starting this enterprise. We
think the best plan that has been suggest
ed is to call meeting of our citizens and
organize a joint stock company, electing
men OF integrity and thorough business
qualifications as its officers, then placing
.he shares at one hundred dollars each,
which would enable each and every citi-
zen, who feels any pride in seeing Ander-
son built up, to become stockholder.
By following this plan, we think enough
money could be easily raised to erect a
building that would compare 1avoraoly
with any hotel in the State. Several of
our public spirited citizens, who ownral-
liable lots near the Court House Square,
have expressed willingness to put in
their lots at a reasonable price and take
their value in stock. We have conversed
with quite number of our citizens upon
this subject, and everyone is i'm favor of
the enterprise. ALI that is needed is for
some live man to take the lead. Who
will do it? Anderson needs the hotel
and must have it.
