spoke as follows:
You are to be congratulated, my fellow.
citizens, of Anderson. upon the completion
of the s. v. 4. Ran enterprise begun
more than thirty years ago, and l feel as
sured that all who are here to-day heartily
unite with you in the spirit which prompts
you to this celebration. The Importance
and utility of railroads, with you, has long
ago ceased to be question for too day, or at
least in the near future railroads are to q
community what highways were in the
olden times. A city without proper rail-
road facilities is behind the times, and is
indeed q laggard in the race for civilization
and advancement. The completion of the
S. V. R. R. not only secures To you another
outlet to the commercial world, but it
demonstrates the fact that the citizens of
Anderson arc determined to be abreast with
tho progress of the times, and are possessed
of such business tact, energy, and persever.
ance as to guarantee that whatever else is
to be done to make the city of Anderson
the equal of any other city in South Caro-
lima, will be reformed without the shadow
of doubt. In the adjustment and location
of other roads now in contemplation, An
derson should feel the liveliest interest.
These roads, when once located, are fixed
forever, and if by chance or Indifference
the city of Anderson should be passed by,
or side-tracked, as it were, it would be
calamity to the whole County, as we'll as to
the city Of Anderson. The benefits to be
derived from the railroads already complet-
ed, and those in contemplation, are not
confined to the city of Anderson alone, but
are participated in by every citizen of
Anderson County, and it will not be amiss
on this day of rejoicing to call your atten-
ton to this important matter which for
the common good l wish every citizen in
the County realized. Every section Of the
County, no doubt, desires railroad facilities,
but we of Anderson County can not have
but one railroad center. Anderson occu.
pies that position to-day, and the interest
of all will be best advanced by helping to
complete the work which has been SO
auspiciously begun. And now, fellow.citi-
zens, if properly understood, there is NJ,
conflict of interest between the citizens Of
the County and the city of Anderson.
Their interests are one and INSOFAR: bic.

and ]. G. Cunningham; Finance-C. F.
Jones, J. L. McGee and T. F. Hill. All
the old city officers were reelected. The
old Council go out of office with fine
record. When they took charge of the
government, the city was about $500 in
debt. They have paid this off, have can
celed $1,000 of the city bonds, and have
turned. over to their successors about
$1,sOO. They also repaired the steamer,
purchased the hand engine and otherwise
improved the Fire Department.. At the
same time the streets have been kept in
good order. This is splendid showing,
and if the new Council will only do as
well they need never fear Of hearing any
complaint.
Z Mr.. Frank M. Norris died at the resi-
depce Of Mr.. s. T. Craig, in this city, last
Tuesday morning at 2 o'clock, in the 35th
year of his age. Mr. Norris was the
youngest son of the late A. o. Norris,
ESQ.,, and was well-known throughout
the County. For the past three years he
has been the chief clerk in the Office OF
the Clerk of Court, and by his uniform
kindness and courtesy to the general pub
lie, he made many friends, all of whom
will regret to hear of his death. Four
years ago he had severe attack of fever,
and at the same time lost his wife, who
had the same disease. Since that time
Mr.. Norris has been in feeble hcalth, be-
ing afflicted with that terrible disease,
diabetes. He was never confined to his
bed at any length of time, and was able
to attend to his duties up to the close of
last Saturday. On Sunday morning a
change came over him, and he gradually
grew worse until he passed away. Mr..
Norris leaves four little children and
many relatives to mourn his death. His
remains were inferred by the side Of his
wife, IN the cemetery at Flat Rock Church,
in varennes Township, on Tuesday after
noon, Rev. T. c. Ligon conducting the
funeral services, in the presence of large
concourse of friends and relatives.

The Commissioners after counting I'll
uota snhmitted the following report:

We certify that the following named gen. :
tlemen have been elected President and
Directors for one year, and until a new
election in the said company, to wit: Pres
ident-Hiram Hutchinson. Directors
Gen. J. w. Harrison, William B. Dorm,
DR.. Nicholas Meriwether, Daniel Brown,
Col. James Tompkins, D. NJ. Rodgers,
Robert Jennings, John Speer, j: w. Stokes,
Charles Hammond, J. ]. Blackwood, Josiah
Sibley.
After resolutions thanking everybody,
as usual, the Convention adjourned. Mr..
Hutchison afterwards took trip to
Europe, and nothing beyond surveying
the road was ever done by them. The
money paid in by the stockholders was
lost by the war, and the enterprise went
the way of the average railroad-on paper.
In 1856 the people Of Greenwood start
ed the Greenwood g. Augusta Railroad,
which they completed rapidly, and from
McCormicks (Dorn's Mine. as it was then
termed) occupied substantially the origi-
nal route, except that instead of crossing
the river al Hamburg, they crossed about
eighteen miles above Augusta. The late
COL james M. Latimer, of Lowndesville,
reviewed the agitation of the Anderson
end of the line, and by his personal influ-
ence and energy induced others to take
hold of the mater and help the work for
ward. The Editor of the INTELL1GENcER
well remembers meeting him for the first
time in August, 1877, while attending a
meeting of the Saluda Association at
Honea Path, and, after full conference,
agreeing to write up his views in the IN
TELL1cENcER and help him to create an
interest in the enterprise. A short time
afterwards he came to Anderson and meta
number Of our citizens in the OH ee Of
Messrs. Murray & Murray, at which time
1t was agreed to begin an active agitation
of the enterprise.
A mass moeting was called at Lowndes-
vile, of which Col Latimer was made
chairman, and committee to draft and

to do.
The crowd of visitors in the city during
the day has been variously estimated at
from two to three thousand.
THE BANQUET
was held in the University chapel in the
evening. TIE committee had honored us
with ticket of admission, and carly in
the evening VIC turned our steps in that
direction. We reached the building be-
fore the guests had assembled, and on be-
ing ushered inside we found number Of
our most energetic and noble ladies busy
at work arranging for the feast. AS we
viewed the neatly arranged tables and
decorations, we thought, what would man
do without fair woman? Nothing can be
made success without her assistance,
and she is ever ready to lend helping
hand to any enterprise. When the ladies
completed their work they retired. The
guests soon began to arrive, and by 0.45
o'clock all were seated around the heavily
ladened tables. There were about 800
persons present. The entertainment was
opened by q brief prayer from Mayor
Tolly, after which President Humphreys,
who was presiding, bade the crowd to at
tack whot they saw before them. There
was an bundance of fruits, eatables (deli-
cacies and substantially and drinkables,
and everything was served with ease and
dispatch by attentive walters.
The following were the regular toasts OF
the evening:

SOUTHERN DAIRyINc.


1t has been an opinion widely held. and a
very natural one, that daiying would soon
assume considerable prominence among the
industries of the South, since stock raising
advances from beef growing to dairying as a
county grows older and more thicklv settled.
The growth of Southern dairving was rcn-
dered more probable by the fact that the
South Is well adapted to this industry. Beef
animals will endure a more rigorous climate
than dairy animals, and be profitable. Mich
cows are sensitive to cold, and severe weather
hBs marked effect upon the flow of milk.
Also, dairying requires more green food than
beef growing. Beef animals should have
green food. and yet beefis well made ON dry
food, and fat beef is best made largely on
grain with hay. On the other hand the
grains are nOt good food for dairy cattle.
Nothing produces milk like grceu food, and
the highly successful dairyman must be pre-
pared to feed green food ut all seasons Of the
wear. The climate of the South would make
it comparatively easy to provide this, and mt
a comparatively-small cost. Hence, ii has
been thought that dairying would pr~vc
more profitable in the South than in the
North. Because ofthis the Southern people
have been urged to takeup dairing; and the
inquiries they make concerning methods and
dairy cattle are evidence that they are dis
posed TO listen to the recommendations
made to them. But the developments made
in the manufacture andsale ofo!eomargarinc
make it questionable if it would be wise
policy for any section to 20 largely into
dairying, 1t is never wise to bind ourselves
to facts no matter how disagreeablc they
may be. Though the manufacture of bogus
butter ought not to be, this does not in tho
least lessen its manufacture and sale, and in
quantities that are already enormously large.
| II is all well enough to discuss ways and
means for stopping the manufacture of
bogus butteI but while this discussion Is
going on We can not wisely ignore the fact
that this manufacture is greatly lowering
] the price of and demand for real butter.
The manufacturers of daily supplies report
their lrade very dull, and assign as reason
the low price of dairy products. And unless
the manufacture of bogus butter is stopped,
and it will require very stringent law
backed by strong public sentiment to stop
It. while those already engaged in dairying
may aad il better to continue in this industry
thnn to drop it, people should adopt de-
cidedly conservative policy apput going into
it; and before large expenditure for daiFy
supplies and cattle can be recommended, the
course of .oleomargarine and the attitude Of
the public towards Its manufacture and sale
must be further developed.-Texas Farm and
Ranch.

ing birds or their eggs TO the
neighbors. If one farmer makes 4
new departure in keeping fowls
his, neighbors generally follow his
example, and in most cases they
will purchase breeding stock from
HIM. Eggs OF light Brahma hens
obtained very early IN the season
will produce chickens that will lay
eggs during the next winter. Few
farmers who have kept superior
fowls few years are dissatisfied
with the result or are willing after
wards to raise common barnyard

THE HENS FOR. FARMER.

II a farmer keeps hens chiefly
for the purpose of supplying his
own table with meat and eggs. he
will do well to raise birds that be-
long TO one Of thcilarge breeds.
The choice Will lie between the
Brahmas, the Cochins, and the
Plymouth Rocks. There are no
objections to any of these breeds.
The light Brahmas have been most
favorably known for over thirty
years, and for general merit they
are not surpassed by any otthe
newer breeds. The light Brahma
fowl meets every requirement of
the farmer. 1t is very handsome
bird, and is an ornament to, the
premises. Itis a contented, nome
loving bird, not inclined to wander
about and get into mischief. 1t is
a large bird, and furnishes = fine
roast. fits flesh is not quite rs
tender or delicious as that of ONE
of the French fowls, it is at least
very good. A Brahma fowl is
easily dressed, and when plucked
presents a fine appearance. The
eggs of the Brahma are large and
we'll formed Though they bring
no more in the market than small
eggs, they are of much greater
value, rs their size and weight in
dicate. Brahma hens Of suitable
age, if they have warm quarters
will lay during the entire winter,
They are patient sitters and good
mothers. They are not as greatly.
addicted TO scratching and making
havoc in the garden as fowls be-
longing to the smaller and more
active breeds. Beng heavy. they
never attempt TO make long flights.
They can, if it is desired, be kept
in an ordinary farm.yard without
making any additions to the fence.
They do not suffer when kept In
partial confinement. They will
thrive, gain in weight, and produce
eggs when kept In d yard or build
ing, provided they arc supplied
with suitable food, water, and ma
terials for forming the shells OF
eggs.
If Brabma fowls are not the
favorites of breeders, the rause
may be found in the circumstance
that they are no longer novelties.
Breeders, like Durserymen, prefer
to raise and sell new things. They
can obtain higher prices for them,
as they are desired by amateurs,
while they have little competition.
Light Brahma fowls are now well
distributed throughout the conn
try. Birds of pure strains or their
eggs can be obtained at compare
lively low prices. 1t is to the adj
vantage OF farmers who have
nothing but mongrels on their
places to obtain Il supply of them.
Many farmers think that they can
not afford to keep animals of pure
blood. Ihey acknowledge their
value, but they have not
the money TO purchase them. /
Very few farmers are so short of
means that they can not raise
money TO pay for sitting of eggs. |
1t takes several years to raise a
flock of improved sheep or q herd I
of pedigree cattle. But a flock of
fowls of pure blood can be secured |
in one year at the expense ofa few
dollars. These fowls will be con-
iuctive to pleasure as well as
profit. 1t will cost no more to
zeep them than an equal number
# common fowls, whose flesh and
gigs are generally inferior. The
