of Oconeo County. He had previously
lived at Clayton, and returned there in
the year 1874, where he has since resided
with his family until the time Of his
death. DR.. Bell graduated at the Medical
College in Philadelphia, and probably no
one stood higher as physician and sur.
geon than he did in Western North Caro-
lima, North Georgia and upper South
Carolina. He was exceedingly active as
man of business and in his profession
until some thirteen years ago, when bis
health suddenly gave way, since which
time hc has been a confirmed invalid in
deed he was bed-ridden for eleven years

BILE traits OF character, was strong Ma

Death of Mrs. Z. II. ,yhItncr.

The many readers Of the INTELLIGEN-
GER will learn OF the death Of Mrs. f II
Whtner with sincere regret. Mrs. Eliza
beth Hampton Whitner, was known and
identified with the citizens of Anderson
by long residence in our midst, where
as the accomplished and estimable wife of
the late Judge ]. N. Whitner, she was
for many years one of the leaders of
society.
Mrs. Whitner was born i'll Greenville in
August, 1910, and was the eldst child and
only daughter of Mr.. James Harrison,
She was married at Andersonville, S. c.,
in 1928, to which place her father had re-.
moved several years preceding. Her
husband took up his residence at Andcr-
son>C. II, when the old Pendleton District
was divided and this town was first cstab-
lished. Here they resided until the death
of her husband in 1864, raising q family
of eight children. Since his death she
has resided with her two youngest daugh-
ters, for awhile on the family plantation
in Florida, for few years i'll Greenville,
, and for the last five or six years with her
youngest daughter, Mrs. Eubank, at the
Warm Springs, in Virginia. She died at
Richmond, Va, on the evening of the 9th

A Growing Enterprise.

The Carriage, Buggy and Wagon Man
ufactory of Reed & Stephens in this city
is an institution which deserves the pa
tronage of the people Of our County. 1t
is an enterprise which gives employment
to thirteen men, most of whom are ex-
perienced and highly skilled work,nen.
A comparison of their work with the
work Of other standard manufactures
will show that for durability and finish
we need not go away from home to get
first. class vehicles. This factory has
capacity OF from two to three buggies per
week and four wagons, with facilities for
expansion when the demand increases.
Their factory now consists of a wood
work room 24x50 feet, varnish and
paint room 24x50 feet, blacksmith room
24x5O feet, rough finish room 24x50. q
temporary repository for carriages and
buggies 22XG0 feet, and Il temporary re-
pository for wagons 3Ox40 feet, and nu-
merous sheds for the storage of timber,
iron, &c. They buy the best of timber,
getting most of it from the mountains of
North Carolina They use nothing but
the best Of material, making every
vehicle strong and durable. They put up
different grades of finish to suit the tastes
and means Of customers. They are now
putting up steel axle buggies with auto
matte shaft holders which are finished in
different Styles and may be had at prices
proportionate to the finish. In wagons
they are using solid collar Sweed Iron
axle of their own get up, which is most
excellent and strong. They use coal for
fuel and have large trade in coal over
the county. When our readers wish to
buy a wagon, buggy, or carriage, we
would urge them to examine the work
done at this factory and get prices before
purchasing. BY so doing we believe they
can buy better article and keep our
money at home. We should patronize
home industry and thus promote the
general growth and prosperity Of our
country.

Messrs. Garrison & Duckworth, who
recently purchased the right to sell Whit
lock & Etheridgc's improved plows in
Oconee and Pickens Counties, have mado
a partial canvass Of the latter County,
and have been very successful in intro.
ducing the plow. They say they have no
trouble in selling the plow, as farmer,
when he sees it, knows it is the very thing
he should have on his farm, and pur
chascs it at once. Messrs. Garrison and
Duckworth, who are among our most re-
liable citizens, will make thorough can
yass of their territory, and the farmers Of
those two Counties will have an opportu-
nifty of seeing the plow. Messrs Whit
lock & Etheridgc have other territori, 8
to sell, and if any person wants a paying
job lie should apply to them.

Important Changes Mt pelzer
The Greenville Ne,vs says !:

The Greenville Neus says:
"Contracts have been given out for the
brick for very considerable addition to
the Pezer mill at Pelzer. Contracts have
also been awarded for the erection OF
thirty dwelling houses in the town for
the accommodation of the operatives who
will be required by the increase in the
mills capacity. The addition to be made
will add about 5000 bales to the annual
consumption of the mill and require the
increase Of the force by about 100, involv-
ing the addition of about 800 to the pepu.
lation of The town, which has already
about 1,5OO people. So by next fall there
will be community of 1900 or more
souls with a factory, bank, one of the
finest churches in the State, telephone
system and all the modern improvements
except theatres and bar rooms where
there was an old field and woodland loss
than five years ago.

Mr.. Marion Gassaway, of Martin Town
ship, who is student in the Anderson
Military Institute, has given us samples
of some excellent leaf tobacco raised by
himself last year. He worked and at
tended to the crop OH Saturdays, the only
day which he had at home, as he was at-
tending school here during the week, and
made fifty pounds of tobacco off of q
small patch. He can sell the tobacco
readily at thirty cents per pound, as it is
nicely cured. We would like for Mr.
Gassaway to write full account Of his
tobacco crop, giving us his views on how
to plant the seed, the kind of seed, the
method and amount of labor to cultivate
and the gathering and curing of {. {; crop
for our farmers column this month.

fashioned shooting matches have been

ments. They have taken the place of
base ball for time at least, The new de-

inson. near the Anderson line, and match
es have been made for nearly every Sat
urday since. A piece of white paper
stuck on plank serves for mark. Tue
distance is fifty yards and rifles, pistols,
shotguns, parlor rifles or any other kind
of gun may be used. Turkeys, chickens
and guineas are the principal prizes shot
for at so much shot. Ten shots are al.
lowed for turkey at ten cents shot.
Five shots, at five cents each, for chick

shots at five cents are allowed"

most thoroughly and expeditiously. BY
means of it the labor of churning is re-
duced until it is a matter of little trouble
