institution six years ago and its proprie-
tor. The location is central and beauti-
tul, and the number of matriculates The
past season 1873. 1t is non-sectarian IN
character, the crops of instructors num-
bering ten, being about evenly divided be-
tween the evangelical denominations.
The curriculum covers a scientific course
unusually high. Still another male school
is about to go into operation by Prof.
Lyon, who has a good reputation as a
capable teacher. besides which there are
several private schools OF less note.
A PLEASANT DRIVE.
Accompanied by Gen. w. W. Hum
phreys and John E. Peoples, Esq, who is
one OF the most progressive merchants in
the town, the writer rode all over the city,
viewing it's many elegant private resi-
dences, public institutions and churches &.
and the improvements going on at the
! terminus of the Savannah Valley railroad.
! On every side there were unmistakable
evidences of the thrift and enterprise OF
| the inhabitants, in the neat homes en-
powered in vines and flowers, and with
large vegetable gardens attached, show
ing that their owners were substantial
| property holders.
GEN. w. W. HUMPHREYS
is one OF the salient characters of Ander-
son city and county. He distinguished
! himself greatly in the late war, rising
| from the rank of Lieutenant to Major,
and receiving a grievous wound in battle.
He has filed with honor many positions
of trust in his county, among those Of
Commissioner In Equity, Probate Judge,
Mayor and editor of the Intelligencer, and
is now the popular President OF the Sa-
vannah Valley railroad. His title was de-
rived from an appointment as Major Gen.
! eral Of Militia In 1880.
| President Humphreys reports the new
railroad as running regularly on daily
schedule, and making prompt connec-
tions. It's passenger and freight business
too Is steadily increasing, and through its
i{agenoy a new era of prosperity Is about to
1ldawn upon this whole region of country.
Since pencilng the above the writer has
i passed, over the entire length or the road
! { SO miles) from Anderson to Mccormick,
and can truthfuIly affirm that a smoother
and better constructed new railway can
lsn6t be found within the limits OF the
Union. There are no rough places and
seldom even the slightest jestle is per-
IIceptible on the entire route. The people,
too, are enthusiastic over their new outlet
TO the sea, aud with properly arranged
tariff of freights and mutual concessions
there is nothing to prevent an immense
trade bet ween Anderson and her nearest
land most eligible seaport, Savannah.
