proving the present one, and the matter
took definite shape last Sunday morning

The Greenville News, of Tuesday, says:
."Piedmont is agitated by sensation.
The story comes from there that the ex-
istence of organized band of robbers with
field of operations in this County, Ander-
son and Pickens has been discovered.
The grounds for the belief are briefly
these: One day last week letter was de-
livered by mistake to man living near
Piedmont. He opened it and found it to
he an appointment for rendezvous OF
gang of robbers who were to rob the house
Of an old man living two miles from Pied
mont Sunday night. With this clue
party Of men went from Piedmont sun
day night and hid in the house to be at
tackled During the night they heard
voices and suspicious sounds, but the pre-
mature movement of one of the party
drove them away. That same night a
horse was stolen on the Augusta road six
miles from Piedmont"
The business of Anderson is steadily
growing, and our city is entering, we be-
lieye, upon wider trade and more pros-
porous : business era than it has ever
known. To-day our merchants and cotton
buyers are paying more for cotton than
any market in the State. Our trade is ex-
tending over surrounding Counties, be-
cause the enterprise of our business men
Is such that they are outstripping any
1neighboring competition. Ifyou, reader,
have any doubts as to the advantages OF
Anderson as a market, come and examine
for yourselves, and you will be convinced.
Anderson is one of the youngest cities IN
the State, but it is destined to lead in the
Commerce of the up.country. Low prices
for goods and supplies, combined with
high prices for cotton and other country
produce, make Anderson an admirable
market, and it is being talked of in many
sections of the State. Anderson is bound
to grow.
