Fiftieth Marriage Anniversary.

Mr.. EDITOR: Last Thursday morning
as the sun rose and bid fair to be as o
beautiful Spring day, we hitched "Mal-
COM to the buggy, and, In compliance to
q request from Mr.. Hugh Rush and his
wife, we drove over to join them in cele.
brating their fiftieth marriage anniversary.
When we arrived ne found children and
grandchildren, nearly all ages and sizes.
There were seventeen in all. After greet
ing and congratulating them, we were in
vited to seat by leYge fire, (such as is
only known in the country and we were
lust getting interested in conversation with
children and grandchildren, when some
one announced dinner, and, Mr.. Editor,
have never been so rapt up in converse.
ton (that is when was welU as not to
hear when dinner was announced. We
walked in the dining room, and to our
surprise, the table presented the same
appearance, as we imagine it did, just fifty
years ago. AS Mr.. Rush led his bride of
fifty years to the table, and seated her at
the head of the table, and as we could See
the love of fifty years ago re- kindled, we
could not help wishing that our last days
might be as theirs. After helping orr.
and, Mr.. Editor, as the old darkey says,
'every ting dat was good" until we were
somewhat in pain, we could hardly keep
from wishing we had more capacity.
We then returned again 10 the sitting
room, and the feast was equally as great.
As we sat and listened to the man, who is
now nearly seventy.six years old, tell some
of the incidents of his youth, and though,
says he, Il have no treasure here, have
up yonde. hope the world can not de-
stroy !" and as he would quote passage
after passage of Scripture, and say this or
that is copsoling passage, and that all he
cared to live for was to please Him who
had followed him all along through life
with so many blessings and mercies.
Prayer was then proposed and We We Q
led in prayer by Rev. s. T. Blackman,
Mr.. Rush's pastor. We could not help
thinking and wondering II all the family
would ever meet again. Flow sad, but If
they never meet again on earth, may they
all meet where parting Is no more.
We were sorry that ths time for us to
leave was announced, but we came away
feeling we had very PLEASANTLY spent the
day, and resolved by the example We had
seen to try TO live better in the future than
we have in the past. VISITOR.

a Helping Word.
p1rn,roNr 8 a March II 1899

PIEDMONT, s. c., March II, 1889.
Mr. Editor: I am glad to see the interest
your citizens are taking In getting up q
Cotton Factory, and other Industries at
Anderson. No community can prosper
without diversified industries, and the
sooner we diversity our industries tho
better for us. Take, for instance, this sec.
tion of country around Piedmont and
Pelzer for an illustration, and you willsee
what a benefit there Is in having con-
sumers and producers right together.
Everything grown on the farm, the gar
dens and the orchard meets with a ready
sale for cash the year round. There will
be, when the two factories are completed
and put in full operation, no less than six
thousand people at the two places II not
more. The farmers within radius Of five
or six miles of the two places ought to feed
these people and themselves, too. and can
do it when they learn how to farm and di-
Yersify their crops.
Piedmont alone pays out about from
fifty to seventy-fve thousand dollars to
their operatives, and perhaps more, every
year. at least twenty hye.thousand Of
this sum ought to stay within five miles OF
Piedmont. It seems to me that with that
sum of money scattered over an area Of
Lo4 OAl1O5 Al sdAotaCsCAJ O<oAdoAv0 Va WAAes
they get for their cotton crop, the farmers
ought to prosper; and they do prosper,
those I mean who take advantage Of this
great benefit laid before their doors.
If Anderson would build, say three
hundred Thousand dollar mill-and !
don't see why they shouldn't-you could
nearly double your population, and that,
too, with an industrious, working people.
You could advance your prosperity ten.
fold. The operatives would have to be fed
by the farmers in the vicinity OF your
city, thereby making them more prosper
GUS and cash customers to your merchants,
and also the added population, too, would
come In to buy from your merchants. with
their money earned in the mill. Thus.
you see, instead of going on In the old slip
shod, credit business, you might establish
a good cash, money making business, to
say nothing of the income to be derived
from the money invested in the Cotton
Mill.
Ijnst give you these my views on the
importance Of having diversified indus
try in every community, hoping 1t might
induce some more Of your citizens to put
their shoulder to the wheel and help you
build the factory. It will be q paying in.
Yestment, ifproperly managed, In great
many ways to your whole country around.
Don't stop until you build the factory and
then build more. Respectfully,
q

OUR CITY.

fThe following poem was written by one Of An
dersons brightest and most amiable young ladies,
and, as is caption indicates, iH dedicated to our
growing city.-ED.]
All homer be given our beautiful city,
Fast rising in fortune and fame.
Let the lore Of the poet quick put into story
Her heroes her virtues, her name.
AS the sheen that is flashed from the gem newly
polished,
She will dazzle mankind far and near,
Then haste Let the minstrel break forth into
singing
Her praises, 10 all Of US dear.
From the centre Of trade to the suburban limits,
Life and motion have walked with start,
And our people that dreamed ln the past are as
sembled
To bid former things swift depart;
To toss to the wind all their selfish desires,
With vim that has never been told;
To bind all their time and their talents together
Then add something weighty-hssir gold.
Tho charm that has fallen 80 noIselessly o'er US,
Has claimed every heart for Its own.
Like q magnetic current, 1t swept DER the city,
Then left as for climes all unknown.
Yet, It touched-as BY hre-the mass Of our people,
And they feel something new In their breasts,
A longing desire to be something robler
A wakning of feelings repressed.
Ere many more sums shall have crossed the hor-
izon,
Will we listen with hearts beating high,
To the sweet words Of praise that fly over the
distance,
Swift and soft as the winds summon Sigh.
Even now. as we speak-nov the great motive
power
Is doing Its utmost, Its best.
Then hastel Let the good work go on,
With an energy and With a zest.
HuIrah for our city Our beautiful city
gem meath the blue Southern sky,
And three cheers for her knights!
Yea, and also her daughters, God bless them and
keep them for aye.
We will yet live to domei and spires rise alof
See our city Q wonder, power.
Then away with the wrong Up and on with the
right,
Let us live in the swift passing hour.
