A farmer who takes away all he possi-
bly, can from his land each year, and does
not return anything in the way Of per-
manent fertilizer, is bound to come to
poverty. Yet there are farmers In this
County who are pursuing this plan every
year.

The two Mormon Elders, of whom we
made mention in these columns last
week, spent the night of the 8th inst. in
Broadway Township, near Bolton. On
the day following they visited number
of the houses in that section, scattering
their tracts and papers as usual. The
good citizens Of that neighborhood de-
cided that they did not need any, of the
Mormon doctrines, and late that after
noon number OF them awaited on the
missionaries and told them so. After
talking with them the citizens decided to
carry them to Belton, which they did.
at Bolton meeting of the leading citi-
zens was held, and the Elders were
brought before them. They were then
told that Anderson County was nota very
healthy place for Mormon missionaries,
and that if they would promise to leave
and never come back again
into the County, they would be allowed
to depart in peace. This the Mormons
prom ised faithfully to do. They were
kindly cared for during the night, and
next morning took up their tramp, say
ing they were going to Spartanburg,
where they claim, they have one or two
churches. The Elders were badly fright
ened, and it is not likely that our people
will soon be visited again by any OF that
faith.
