| machines, pianos, organs, buggies, car
riages, etc., and we must confess that we
were agreeably surprised to know what
an immense business he is doing. Mr..
Reed occupies 1850 square feet OF space,
and each department is kept full of the
goods he handles. We venture the asser-
! ton that there is not another business
house in the State engaged in his line of
trade that can show as largo stock of
machines, vehicles, pianos and organs as
| Mr.. Reed. He buys direct from the man
ufacturer, and consequently is able to
meet any competition in prices and terms.
| It is worth any PERSONS time to visit his
establishment. Mr.. Reed left yesterday
! for the Northwest for the purpose Of
adding to his stock, and when he returns
he will be better prepared than over before
to meet the demands of his trade. which
is increasing every day.
Mountain Creek takes the cake. The
best order and most attentive gathering
vet was held there last week. Patience,
patience-a most wonderful manifestation
Of patience. Twelve speeches, all listened
to with interested attention. Every can.
didate was given an opportunity to put
himself before the people, and even some
who were not candidates. The following
gentlemen spoke: J. Perry Glenn, G.
Wardlaw, D. II. Russell, j. B. Patrick,
r. P. Cinkscales, j. W. BoWden, ]. w.
Ashley, Silas N. Pearman, o. B. Murray,
A. G. Latimer, J. B. Watson and E. B.
Murray in reply. A splendid dinner was
served to the satisfaction of all. Hon. ).
Bolton Watson announced that he Was not
candidate. In his speech at Clinkscales'
Mill he said if he should become q candi-

appreciate the support Of that vicinity.
The writer, with friendly motive to keep

enter the race, mentioned him as candi-

our attempted kindness into cut at him,
and not as favor intended. Such is life.
A representative Of the INTELLIGENCER
spent an evening last week at Pelzer, and
by the Kindness of DR.. Truman Crymes,
attended the meeting of the Pelzer Ly-
ceum, at which Rev. D. w. Hiott deliy-
cred 9 most interesting and able address.
The Pelzer Manufacturing Company have
erected beautiful and conveniently ar
ranged building at cost Of about 81, 300,
and provided it with about 1000 volumes
of choice literature, and about $100 worth
annually of the best periodicals, TO which
all the people can be admitted by becom.
ing mem bers and paying ten cents a
month. This is rare opportunity, and
should be taken advantage of by all who
love knowledge, refinement and socia-
bility. We most heartily commend it to
the favorable regard of the people Of Pei
ger. There are now about 300 members.
The evening we spent there will long be
remembered as bright period in the past.
We venture the assertion that there is not
factory town in the South where the
good Of the people is more carefully
looked after than at the Pelzer mills.
While We were there Mutual Aid Asso-
citation was organized, in which the peo-
pie are taking lively interest. They
have an Alliance, Sunday Schools, and a
model Church building. Pelzer also has
| good school building, in which the. edu-
cational interest OF the town is carefully,
ably and vigilantly guarded by Miss Lou
Carpenter, assisted by Miss Hard. Hur-
| rah for Pelzer.
