other day ifit were true that he was
bothered by office.seekers. The willy
Pennsylvania said; "The halfconcern-
ing them has never been told. Why
they actually commenced coming to my
house before breakfast and kept it up in
steady stream until midnight. They
did not seem to realize that they we're
possibly ipjuring their own chances by
this. Indeed. I believe that many Of
them are insane on the question of get.
ting an Office, and do not realize what
they are doing. On account Of being
chairman of the national committee I
was bothered more in this way than any
of the other Senators. had people
come to me whom I had never seen or
heard Of before and never expect to see
again. The large number Of them were
not representative members of the party,
but rather the scum. There were more
Office seekers this time than ever before,
for all the men who were put out four
years ago wanted their old Offices back,
and then there were dozens of new appli-
cants for each Office. Fortunately, they
were all fairly well supplied with funds
and did not have to fall back on the
congressman like the Democrats did four
years ago, when many Of the Representa-
tiyes were expected to board anumber of
their constituents"

The Old Entaw Flag. ).

The Washington Light Infantry OF
Charleston, S. G., the oldest military BODY
in the United States, has received special
hohors from President Harrison in being
selected to act as his personal body
guard, after his landing from the United
States man-of-war Dispatch, to the corner
of Nassau ard wall streets, where the for
nal Centennial exercises will be held.
The Southern soldiers will carry small
blue flag, trimmed with vanished gold
fringe, bearing the motto, "Valor and
Virtue" The fling is the Oldest existing re-.
yolutionary cavalr.- emblem in existence,
and has been carried in all the wars that
have occurred since the United States
became independent.

men. Gen. Morgan, Of the Continental
Army, 1000 strong, hurried to meet him.
Col. William Washington, cousin of
Gen. George Washington, was then in
Charleston with his troop Of eighty men.
On receiving word from Gen. Morgan he
lost no time in preparing to march with
his men. Leaving Charleston he passed
his mothers house. She stopped him and
presented the troop with the flag, which
she had made from her silk dress.

set out for the scene of action at Hanna's
Cowpens, and as they neared the place
the sound of battle grew louder and loud.
or. Very Soon they came upon the Con,
tinental troops, Who were retreating
before Tarleton. Col. Washington, with
his men, pushed to the front and met
Tarleton's troops in wild charge. The
little blue flag was continually in the
front. The Continentals reformed and
followed up the advantage gained by the
arrival of Col. Washington and his men,
and eventually won the battle.
During the late war the light infantry
were in the Confederate ranks, and
although many attempts we're made to
capture the flag, they proved unavailing.
Major Douglass Walker, who served with
the Washington Light Infantry during
the late war, has lately become a resident
of Brooklyn. He will take part in the
parade, by request of Major Bryan, Mayor
of Charleston, S. O., and Major r. G.
Gilchrist, the commander of the troop.
Their headquarters will be st the Put

Honea Path Items.

Married, in Honea Path, on last We'd
nesday night, by Rev. D. W. Hiott, Mr..
w. T. sprousc and Miss M. A. Bratcher,
all Of Abbeyille County.
Revs. A. G. Stepp. of Princeton, and
r. D. Hawkins, of Little River, were in
town last week.
Mr.. Arthur Glenn and his sister, of Pei
zer, are visiting their uncle, Rev. NJ. MCGEE.
Miss Anna L. Dargan made short visit
to her home in Greenville last week.
MIR. John D. Bagwell, of Flowery
Branch, Ga, was in town last week.
Last Friday party of citizens went fish
ing on Broadmouth. We had delightful
time. and good many fish were caught.
As We had vessels to cook in, and some
cooks to do the cooking, in due time the
announcement was made dinners ready"
and it did not take much begging to get the
people around the table. We had Parson
to ask a,blessing, and a Doctor to get the
fish bones out of throats, should any get
in. The young people coupled off to fish,
&c. T believe there was some fishing done
on dry land.
Why can't all places be sociable-like
ours-and just be like one family and have
things in common 1t is so much pleasure.
Prof. W went with some friends on
Broadmouth last Saturday. I don't know
whether the Professor caught anything or
not, but he certainly must think there are
some good fish there, for be goes in that
direction right often. IrecSon he goes fish
ing.
Last Wednesday night we had Bible
reading on Temperance, conducted by Mr..
M. I. Brock. Several short and pointed
spa eches were made in connection with the
reading. Our people are getting in earnest
on the Temperance question. It does seem
like all dry towns ought to be dry.
Messrs. L. A q T. H. Brock have been
furnishing our people with some very fine
beef: They have 1t shipped from the West
on ice.
Mr. E. 81. Prather, of Due West, accom-
panied by Mr.. Kennedy, passed through
our town last Saturday on their way to
Mr.. but had better not tell, for I

cess to you, friend Prather.
Mr.. T. a. Brock is having bis place very
much improved. The roof of his house
has just been painted, and beautiful
picket fence put up. My advice to our
bachelors is to look how nice and home.
Like everything looks at Mr.. Toms, and
then follow his example. How nice ito
have home, and then some one to make
home pleasant. Ireckon the Irishman was
right when he said it was SC pleasant to be
alone, epeeituy "when yer sweet heart is
wild ye." He certainly voiced the senti-
ment of some of our young men.

SMALL INDUSTRIES.

-
There is no denying the fact that man.
ufacturing enterprises will tend more to
build up town and increase its popula-
tion than anything else, and in majority
of instances, small enterprises pay o better
profit on the capital invested than large
factories. Anderson is now at.
tracing attention from every section OF
the country, and With little effort there
are numerous small enterprises that ne
might establish here. We have all the
advantages Of situation and railroad COZ.
nection to encourage the establishment
and successful conduct of any manufactu.
ring enterprises. AS hint on this point
ne publish the following relative to the
profit of those mentioned, which are but
few among the many enterprises that
the city could support, and support hand
somely:
a few years ago a shoe factory WAS
started in Gainesville, Ga, with a capital
of less than $4,000. It gave employment
to about twenty hands, and turned out
about one hundred aud fifty pairs ofshces
a day. The proprietors made money
and in a short time there we're number
of capitalists who we're anxious to join
them and enlarge the factory. This WAS
done, and to-day the factory is turning
out six OF seven hundred pairs Of shoes
day. The shoes are very popular, and
are sold in nearly every town and city in
the South. The enterprise pays semi
annual dividend of from Is to 20 per
cent.
A match factory at the same place,
With all $4,000 Investment, furnishes
work for focty hands, and pays splendid
interest. a barrel hoop factory there is
also doing well.
A man st Budford, Ga, who cannot
walk, ard is terribly deformed, has made
s25,OOO in the past ten years by manufac.
turing saddle trees and shipping them to
Northern markets. He has now opened
up now enterprise, and is shipping
handles for buggy and wagon whips to
the North in immense quantities.
"a factory at Henderaonville, Ga, sells
not less chan $4,000 worth of spokes and
H. o.
handles annually.
The chair factory at Marietta, Ga, is
known all over the Southern States, and
has made it's originators rich men.
A paper factory, at the same place, has
never known day of depression, and its
products are sold all over the South.

Mr.. Charlie Carter, who is attending
school at Dalton, Ga, spent week at

vest arrives.
Death has again entered this section, and
removed one of our best citizens in the
person of Mr.. Thomas b. Anderson.
which occurred on last Wednesday night,
the 18th inst, in his Goth year. His health
had not been good for some years, but
nothing serious was apprehended by his
family end friends until recently, when it
was known his heart was affected. Mr..
Andersen was a ruling elder in Roberts
Church for number of years, and was
always held in the highest esteem by all
who knew him as straightforward, chris.
tian gentleman. He will be sadly missed,
but we believe it can be said of him that
he had chosen that good part that could
not be taken away from him. Our sympa-
thies go out with the bereaved family in
their bereavement. The remains were in
tered in the Roberts cemetery the follow
ing day.
Rev. W. A. Hodges has recently been
quite i'll, but we are glad to say he is at
present thought to be improving. We
hope he will be restored to his wonted
health.
The fishing season is again upon us, and
every fellow who can shoulder cane and
spare the time ''is giving them trial !"
and no matter how truthful you may be
counted in general matters, it is expected
that little prevarication will be INDUCED
in, Notwithstanding you may be man of
the cloth. We think Bill Arp struck it
square when he said fellow always feels
better on his way to the river than when
returning. We think so. BURKE

A Plea for Irrigation.

10 tie Editor Of the NeWs and Courier: {:
I notice with interest the laudable efforts
of the Neags and Courier to encourage the
agriculture of South Carolina. Diversi-
fed crops, with hog and hominy, tobacco,
ramie and the like, are all presented to
the farmer in earnest and sensible arti.
cies. But there is one thing yet which has
moi been brought into sufficient promi.
nence, and now, while big prizes are Of
fered for big crops, l think it good time
to agitate the subject and ask the help of
the News and Courier in bringing it before
the public. / refer to irrigation. This
is what has brought California out, and
it will do the same thing for South Caro-.
lima.
While many farmers are anxious to try
it, they are not sufficiently acquainted
with the system. The plans, the cost, the
whole business are generally unknown to
them. The State farms SHOULD give us an
object lesson, if even upon small scale,
but let it be practical and complete. Let
bulletins be issued and distributed among
the farmers,giving plans specifications aud
pictures for the irrigation, say of one acre
of branch bottom or upland, in cheap,
simple, yet practical manner. The rich
red soil of this Piedmont country gets
quite thirsty at times, and if irrigation
pays 80 we'll elsewhere ne would like to
SEQ it tried here. FARMER.

at The Baptist Church here on last Sun
day morning Rev. D. w. Hiott took for his
text, "Cry aloud and spare not, aud, if he
has any fear of popular feeling, he seemed
to throw it all aside, and carried out the
iDjunetions of his text He spoke of the
inordinate desire for money as the great
evil of the day, entering into every profess
sion, and influencing the lives of men for
evil. The pulpit, he said, is not entirely
free from its pernicious influence. Some
times even preachers, fearing that they
may lose paying position, allow evils to
remain unrebuked in their churches, and
bring evils upon them as Achan's sin did
upon the children of Israel. No church
can hope to prosper when pastor and
church screen evils that they know to
exist.
School teachers sometimes, in order not
to lose patronage, shrink from wholesome
enforcement of discipline. People will
sometimes buy goods and not pay for
them. Merchants, who profess to be Chris
tians, will sometimes sell goods on Sunday.
