most substantial and prosperous business
men, spent Monday in the ity, and we
were delighted to have cali from him.
| lie has a host of friends and old war
comrades in Andersen, and his visits here

| them.
Rev. S. l.. Morris has resigned his
charge ut Johnston and other churches
in Edgciicld. lIo has been called to the
Second Presbyterian Church at Macon,
Ca, and will probably accept the call.
The church in Carolina can i'll afford to
loose the valuable services of this able
C!:r;;:t:"n gentleman.
Comptroller General John S. Werner
spent last Monday in Walhalla on legal
business. The duties of his Office called
him away on Tuesday morning in order
to get his annual report ready for the
Legislature. On account of his absence
il great number of civil cases were con-
tinucd, and consequently much less bust
ness was done than was expected when
court convened.

! ton. Mr.. Ward is said to he Il thorough
~ competent man. The whole force OH

needed.

moved here :"f He purpose Of sciluilig
his children to school. We gladly wei
come the Doctor and his family to our

When one does not agree with you in
your great wisdom, on in your little pref
udirrS, pcculiaritics and raScalitics, the
best thing to do is to call him ''Crlnk"
I nat settles the matter. The man who is
! independent i'm opinion and not SubScr-
Went to rlipucS, corporations, sccts and
d"2,mas is Il crank, and it is well to pub
! liSh this fact to the world. You may
have noticed that the beer guzzlcr, the
lihrrtinr, the gambler, the man who spec
,llatrS ON the labor of the struggling
=
ing The poor and dependent in their pov-
crty, arc never called cranks.
! The Atlanta Constellation SAYS that Mr..
J. L. O. King, of Fair Play, S. c., was in
that city recently arranging for the manu-
tarturc of Il plow stock which he calls
the Grady Alliance plow stock. lie
claims that it is the best stock yet put
upon the market, showing some decided
~ new and interesting features. His, he
claims, will not choke, and he gains one
/ hundred per cent in lever power. \ com
| bination can be set in in half minute
for any other stock, and by Il special con-
! trivancc all caps and heads of bolts will
sink int" the wood and fixes them SO that
they will not lnSt or twist off. The IIai-
man pl"w factory will manufacture the
new plnw stocks.
