Perhaps not many people have observed
the fact that Anderson is filled up with
young business men. Iudeed, we doubt
If there is city or town in the State in
which such large percentage OF the busl-
ness is done by young men. Our leading
merchants, cotton buyers and progressive
men generally are in almost every case
men not vet past the meridian of life, and
many of them still under thirty. This, no
doubt, is the secret of our wonderful pro-
gres and spirit of go aheadativeness
which characterizes Anderson. Keep the
ball going, boys, ne will get there Eli!
Mr. r. Smith, who moved from this
County to Pickens County, Ala, three
years ago, in sending his. subscription to
the INrELLIdENoER, writes us as follows:
II am we'll pleased with my adopted
home, and am now gathering line crop.
Land is very cheap here--from one to Six
dollars an acre-and those of lny friends
in old Anderson County who do not own
land would do we'll to come out here We
have good health, good water and plenty
of lumber. a South Carolinian, however,
will never lose his love for his old mother
State, no matter where he may cast his
fortune"
Mr.. W.J. Ballard, of Piercetown, called
in to see us last Saturday and paid for his
INTELLIaEECER, and in a conversation
told us he had in his possession powder
horn which was used By his grandfath

it very highly as relic. Mr. Ballard is
native of Transylvania County, N. c.,
having moved to Anderson County about
seyen years ago. He is a hard-working,
upright man, and is a successful farmer.
He raises his own supplies and makes cot.
ton surplus, consequently he Is out OF
debt and has sufficient provisions on
hand to make another crop.
Last Friday night Policeman McKin-

carving concealed weapon. The officer
secured the pistol, and started to the sta

cut the officer with pocket knife. Mr..
Mckinney leveled his pistol on him and
told him to drop the knife, which he did
at once. he was then locked up, and on
Saturday morning Mayor Tribble sem
fenced him to pay fine Of $1,000, or work
thirty DAYS on the streets. He is now at
work on the streets, with a ball and chain
