a Live Town.

Mr.. S. n. Carpenter, editor Of the FL
berton, Ga, Gazettc, in speaking of his re-
cent visit to Anderson, says:
"Wo spent Saturday last in the city Of
Anderson, S. c., and was forcibly i'm.
pressed with the business enterprise Of
the place. It is emphatically live town,
end evory one you see appears to be as
busy a. bee. The place has improved
wonderfully, and resembles its former
sci but very little. We were surprised at
tho prices the merchants were paying for
cotton. a farmer showed us bill where
he had sold 4G bales of cotton one day last
week, of different grades, to Messrs. Nc
Gully, Cathcart & Co. at st cents all round.
4 prominent merchant informed us that
he had just paid 9.55 for lot Of ten bales
of fancy cotton. all cash, and thatanother
gentleman had purchased the same mum.
ber OF bales, at the same price, on Satur-
day-all cash. The average price for cot
ton on Saturday last was about cents.
They buy on grade, and when man has
good bale Of cotton, he gets fancy
price for it.
"Why is it that Elberton cannot afford
to pay as much for cotton as the City Of
Anderson, when we get lower rate of
freights here than they do there? There
is mystery about this we cannot under
stand"
