To the Public.

have recently sold out everything to
Messrs. G. F. Jones & Co., except my
stock of groceries, and exchanged Store
rooms with them. occupy now the
wooden building that they formerly had.
I did this not with q view Of diminishing
my business, but increasing 1t. 1t is my
intention to have ON hand at all times of
the year full stock of heapy Groceries. I
expect to give my whole attention to this
business-but in large quantities and be
prepared TO meet any competition. I will
make my prices the same to every one,
ranging only according to quantities
bought. IT is my purpose to have a price
a. low as the lowest, and if any outs should
be made, will simply reduce my regular
price to the same. I have had an expert
ence of twelve years in this business. and
think by giving my entire attention to this
one line of trade, can make it to the inter-
est of every one to call and see ma. Any
errors on my part will, as in the past, be
promptly corrected. Ihave small stock
of goods on hand at present, hut in a few
days will astonish the natives. My busi-
ness in tho future will be mostly for the
cash.
Remember my place of business, and be
sure to call when in the city. Thanking
you for your past patronage, and soliciting
continuance of the same
lam yours truly

points, being perfectly free from NONSENSE

mon in this day. He was followed by
Rev. ]. R. Earle with short and timely
talk, clinching what Mr.. Stevens had said
in forcible, convincing style. Would
that we could hear such sermons oftener.
We are glad to see the candidates coming

The wheat crop has been harvested. It
was badly injured by rust, though where
it was very early it is an average crop.
Oats are very good, rather above an aver
age. Cotton Is. doing finely; in most in.
stances it is in good condition. It is not
as large as some previous years at this time,
but the stands are excellent, which coca q
long way in making crop. Corn is grow.

Farmers and "General Green" have
been closely engaged in life and death
struggle for the past week or two, and it
looked for awhile like General Green"
would come out victorious, but weeks
sunshine has greatly helped to get him
down. A great many cotton fields pre-
sent the appearance of having been seeded
to grass instead of planted in cotton.
Wheat has about all been harvested, and
is generally represented as being light.
James Hamilton (colored) cut one hun
dred and six dozen of large bundles one
day last week for Mr.. s. l.. Eskew.
Mr.. T. @. Mcdowell has SO far recovered
as to be able to resume work.
At last accounts Mr.. T. L. Reid was
thought to be in dying con dition. This
will be sad news for his many friends, to
whom he has become endeared by his
many acts of kindness.
Mrs. w. D. Garrison is quite sick, also.
Mr.. Eugene Burriss requests notice
given that there will be pic mic at Jolly's
Mineral Spring Friday before the fourth
Sunday in this month. Several base ball
mines are expected to be there, and some
lively playing is anticipated.
The new schedule, by which the down
passenger train passes here nearly an hour
earlier than formerly, went into effect
Monday morning, causing several pas
sengers to "get left" One of them, a
former representative of Anderson County
in the State Legislature, thought he could
catch up with the train after it had passed
him about half mile from the station.
He came down the track at double quick
time, sight race, but finally accepted the
situation and slackened his pace. We
admired his pluck in running, but "darn:
ed'' his judgment. Another one was an
old crippled Confederate soldier, living
four miles above Pendleton, who got left,
and. passed here foot back" on his way
to Anderson. He said be reckoned he
would get there time enough to come
back. JAY.

. Some interesting figures in regard

Some interesting figures in regard
to salaries have been elected In suit
now in progress in Brooklyn against a
baking powder company. It was shown
that the president OF the company draws
a salary of $4,000 year, the vice presi-
dent $4,000 and the treasurer $4,000.
The president Of paint and varnish
company who was introduced as an e1.
pert in regard to salaries, stated that the
superintendent of his company received
$50, 900 year, whilst the yearly business
did not exceed $3,000,000. Another
witness stated that in companies with
which he was acquainted the chief execu.
tive officers received from $4,000 to
$4,000 year, whilst the representative
of O kerosene oil company said that he
knew one officer of a large corporation
who received salary of $4,000 year.
and two others who received 5000
each. These figures are enormous, and
we're unknown until the days of trusts
and combinations. The explanation is
furnished in the testimony of one of the
witnesses, who said that the business of
the company with which he is connected
had been increased until the profits had
reached $50 per cent on the original cap
ital stock.
"The name bandanna," said book.

wearing them on their heads.

is now only Sheriff, but higher Office
awaits him in the near future. After all
the speeches were through Col. Maxwell

E. A. Bell advertises store-room to
rent.
Gen. Jas. w. Harrison, formerly a cit
izen of Anderson, but for the past few
years resident of Walhalla, died at bis
home in the latter place on Sunday night
from paralysis His remains were
brought to this city on Tuesday morning
and inferred in the Presbyterian ceme-
terry, Rev. J. E. Fogarty, of Walhalla,
and Rev. D. e. Frierson, of this city
conducting the funeral services. Gen.
Harrison, until his removal to Walhalla,
had been resident of Anderson all his
life, and prior to the war was one of our
most foremost and progressive citizens.
Owing to the crowded condition of our
columns and the Firemen's Tournament
being in progress, we are unable to write
such a notice of the deceased as lie de-
serves in this issue, but next week we will
give sketch Of his life.
A change in the schedule of the C. & 9.
Railroad was made last Monday. The
train from Walhalla arrives here at S55 a.
m., one hour earlier than formerly. Pas
sengers going in the direction of Colum-
bia have to stop over at Belton about two
hours. This change, we understand, is
made in order to make connection with
the west bound train at Seneca every
morning, and, we are informed, will ac-
commodate about three passengers week,
while it will inconvenience more than
twice that number of passengers every
day going in the direction of Columbia.
If the authorities intend to keep this
schedule in operation, they should by all
means change the schedule of the train
that leaves Greenville every morning, so
as to make connection with the train
from Walhalla at Belton. If they don't
do this they will bear from the travelling
public.
TWAS our pleasure to attend the exer-
cises of the Children's Day at Hopewell
Church last Sunday night. The regular
programme as sent out by the American
Baptist Publication Society was carried
out most successfully. The music was
really cheering and inspiring, as was also
the address of welcome, but nothing
could surpass the speech of Master Foster
Martin. at the conclusion of the reading
of the annual letter by Miss Martin, G..
Wardlaw, Esq, made short address On
the purpose of the "Children's Day." The
dialogues were we'll enacted, each boy do
ing his part we'll. A collection was taken,
but we did not learn what amount was
raised. However. Judging from appear
ances, it was quite good collection. AS
has been said, it was quite success, and
one that reflects credit on the Superinten'
dent of the Hopewell Sunday School, Mr..
VIM. Brown and the Assistant Mr.. ]. A.
Welborn, as we'll as Mr.. Hamblen, who
had the training of the children. The
officers and teachers of the Hopewell Sun
day School are doing good work. They
have flourishing Sunday School, num-
bering nearly a hundred pupils. The
house was crowded, and some Lad to
stand about the doors, as there was not
room enough in the Church. 1t is, in
deed, real treat to visit so hospitable
and prosperous community.
