other, knocking the riders and both horses

toms were more favorable.

The Board of Directors of the Anderson
Cotton Mills has closed contract with the
Messrs: Watson & Cecil, Of Lexington, N.
c., for the manufacture of the brick and
the erection of the factory buildings.
Mr.. Ladsham, mill engineer Of Spartan
burg, is now making Typographical sketch
Of the grounds. The contractors expect to
begin work next week, and they intend to
pnsh the enterprise along as rapidly as
possible. There are few of the subscri-
bers who have not yet paid up the first
installment Of their subscription, and 1t is
hoped they will do so at once. Every
subscriber should pay up promptly as the
money is called for, SO that the Directors
will have no trouble whatever in pushing
the work to completion. Pay up, and, If
possible, take another share or two, and
urge your friends to do the same. The
mill is now an assured fact, and every
citizen Of Anderson Is interested in its
completion.
The Walhalla Courier speaks thus Of the
popular conductor on the Blue Ridge
Railroad: "Our ever faithful and popular
conductor, Captain Billy Smith, of tho
Blue Ridge Railroad, deserves and should
receive the "cake." For the past two
weeks he hes been busily engaged, after
be gets off railroad duty, in planting gar
den seeds, do., by moonlight, at his home
in West Union, working to late hour at
night. He has his garden filed with the
lSohoicest fruits of many varieties, and ex-
poets at the proper time to regale his
palate with fruits that are beautiful to
talook at and palatable to the taste. Cap
tain Smith is patriotic man, and bis pa
triotisn shines forth refulgently as you
behold him by the light of the pale moon
industriously digging the ground and:
dropping the little seed, which shall
spring up and bear an abundant harvest.
May the good Captain have plenty of fine
| vegetables and fruits this summer
The Anderson correspondent of the
Columbia Register falls into error in his
statement in recent issue of that paper
/ that to Col.sJ. q. Clinkscales is due the
credit of the fact that the teachers Of this
County are being paid the cash at the end
of each month. The truth about it is that
Mr.. D.. II. Russell, the present School
Commissioner, applied to the Legislature
at its recent session for permission to bor-
rowthe money to pay the cash, and an
Act was passed to that effect. There are
eighteen School Districts in the County,
and four of them had worked themselves
up to cash basis, and the other fourteen
were year behind as the others had been,
80 that to the Trustees of the four Districts
is due the credit OF their sound financial
condition, and the present School Com
missioner is entitled to the credit Of what
ever has been done for the other fourteen.
Col. Clinkscales was undoubtedly a very
fine School Commissioner, but he would
be far from wearing honors belonging to
others. "Honor to whom honor, is due."-
The new advertisement Of Jones, seybt
& Co. will no doubt attract the attention
OF every reader Of the INTELL1aENcER, and
it should be read carefully, for it contains
some valuable information to those who
expect to buy any Spring or Summer
goods. This firm, which Is composed Of
live, progressive young men, has deter
mined to increase its list Of customers, il
low prices and honest goods will do it,
and they have purchased much larger
stock than Is usually handled outside Of
very large cities. Their goods are arriv-'
ing every day, and their store now has the
appearance of veritable dry goods pal
AGO. Their stock embraces everything in
the general dry goods line, in addition to
al large stock Of gents furnishing goods

perienced milliner of Baltimore. These
gentlemen are anxious to sell their goods,
and they cordially invite the public to.

Mr. J..C. Keys has done very sub
stantial piece Of work on the public road
just this side OF the bridge that spans
Generostee Creek, near Mr.. j. N. By
runs brici yard. For number Of years
past this portion Of the road, for about
fifty yards, has been very bad, and during
the winter season would be almost i'm
passable. The road hands would work
on it every year, but no permanent i'm
provement could be made. Mr.. Keys,
who is practical man in every sense Of
the word, assured the commissioners that
he could make that portion of the road as
good as any other, and they authorized
him to go ahead and do it. Mr.. Keys at
once went to work. and after building q
good, substantial rock WALL two or three
feet high, he hauled two hundred wagon
loads of rock and filed in between the
walls, and then covered it over with sand.
Those who have seen the work say 1t is a
permanent improvement and will last for
| years. The work cost about seventy dol
lars, but it is money wisely spent. There
are other "mud holes" in various portions
of the County that should be treated the
