PIECE OF WORK
Fred Foster, the Young Florist, Coming
to- the Front-A word of Praise.


Those people that have cause for
travelling over the road that tine Hy-
draulic pumping station Is located ON,
often wondered why such an attractive
building should be surrounded by such
unmyitmg grounds. These thoughts,
OF course, passed through the minds OF
the travellers previous TO about two
weeks ago, and ut the present time the
same travellers now stop at the station,
admire tine beautiful grounds and
speak of the wonderful changes that
have recently taken place.
Fred Foster, the rising young florist,
il North DNlsIOn-st., was gwen the
contract for laying out, improving and
beautifylng the grounds, and that hc
accomplished the work satisfactorily to
all parties concerned there is no qucs-
ton. Mr.. Foster was assisted in the
work by twelve men and two teams,
occupying nearly two week, time.
over thirteen thousand loads of earth
were used IN lcyehng and nearly two
thousand square yards of grass I'm sod
ding. The grounds have been land out
attractIvely and gravel sidewalks are in
abundance. An elevated walk has
been land to the well, sOdded on both
sides. Beds of flowers are seen in front
OF the station, one of gernaniumes and
the other of tropical plants. Four
spruce trees were planted and in the
center of the grounds a basin,
ten feet IN diameter was dug. An I'M
itation of huge cally lily planti, in
the center, from which a spray plays.
4 handsome trellace work extends
over the entrance of the station, and
many other attractive features, too
numerous To- mention, are tObe noticed.
Other improvements are TO be made,
and when completed, the grounds will
be thc handsomest IN front of amy
pubic building IN the city. Mr. Foster

"In Charlotte, y. c., two mills are
now in operation, both of which were

Of one of them being at the rate of fifty
cents per week each, and the other
twenty-five cents. At Rock Hill, S.
C., and at severol other points in the
Piedmont region, mills are now being
constructed on the above plan.
1.-THE assessments continue of course
until the entire one hundred dollars
per share is paid in full. The plan
serves not only the purpose of being a

about tour years is required to pay the
stock in full, and twenty-five cents
about double that time.

Rio JASEIRo, March 23.-Dr. Rain
and his assistant, DR. Goodness, arrived
in Rio on Sunday last and have done
their work so we'll and rapidly that
within a week the mortality of the city
dropped from one hundred to forty, the
latter little more than one-fourth the
number on the Sth. And from all the
places affected with yellow fever except
Santos, wherein, although much re-
duced, the mortality is still excessive,
tidings have been received indicative
Of the immediate disappearance Of the
epidemic.
Relieved, therefore, from the strain of
their numerous calls, the Rio medicos
have taken to bitter quarrel not only
as to the causes of the extraordinary
mortality earlier in the month, but also
as to the nomenclature Of the epidemic,
as though it. mattered anything to the
victims what Latin or Greek neologism
killed them. The MAORI, y of the medi-
cos appear, however, inclined to the
opinion that the deadly ''pernicious
attack" was merely yellow fever, rem

A Big Business in Oconee Lumber.
. LKeowee Courier.

keOWee Courier.
We understand that the Seneca
Lumber Company are preparing to do
a big business in putting on the mar
ket large quantities of ash, poplar,
white pine, and other kinds of lumber
cut from trees growing on the head
waters of Seneca River. 1t is said that
they have logs enough cut now to make
over 100000 feet, and are only waiting
for a rise of the water to float them
down to their large boom and mill
near the railroad bridge over Seneca
River at Ravenel's. This company
have spent thousands of dollars in
building and equipping their boom and
mill, and their output of lumber, when
they get fairly at work, will be the
largest perhaps ever made. in the Pied
mont section. The work being done
by them is doubtless some of the fruits
of properly advertising Oconee's timber
resources at the first New Orleans Ex-
position few years ago. To Oconee
belongs the honor of having the finest
and largest collection, comprising over
one hundred varieties, of any county
in the State, and South Carolina had
the finest exhibit of timber at this ex-
position. The large and extensive ex-
hibit from Oconee, we would say, was
due to the efforts Of Mr.. G. Wanner
more than any other citizen, who con-
triquted about three months of his
time to procure the specimens. The
knowledge of our immense timber re-
sources gained by the outside world at
the New Orleans Exposition was
doubtless instrumental in the estab-
lishment of the Seneca Lumber Com
pany, and many are the fruits which
the future has in store for cur people in
the proper development of the lumber
interests OF our county.

George Washinston's Schooldays.
[Harper's Young People.]

To school at Wakefield came the boy
George Washington in the autumn of
1743. Tradition has handed down the
names of few only of the pupils of
Mr.. Williams. Richard Henry Lee,
who was afterward sent to the great
Wakefield Academy in Yorkshire, and
who came back to he immortal as one
of the signers of the Declaration of In
dependence; William Fitzhugh, with
whom it is said Washington often quar-
relied in his youth, as he did afterward
during the military movements against
the French about Braddock's time;
Lawrence Washington and Robert
Washington, distant cousins of George,
from Chotank-were among his school
mates. But the school comprised
many more, and the boy Washington
has left US with his own hand, if not
portraits, shadow pictures, the old
fashioned "profile" rather than the
modern photograph.
These pen-pictures may be seen be-
tween the lines in Washington's rules
of conduct which he drew up while at
Mr.. Williams school. They have sell
dom been conned over, most of them
never published, and this description
of rude boys at school which we copy
from bis school-boy book is now first
given, nearly century and half after
it was written. Washington is pictur-
ing the boy whose manners he should
avoid, and the roughness of some of
the boys in those days could not be
more strikingly portrayed. He writes:
