MIR. A. P. Williams, of Pendleton Town.
shin. few days ago killed 13-months'
old pie of his own raising that netted him
478 bounds of meat. Who can beat this ?
Mr.. Williams is one of our best farmers.
He produces all of his meat, corn and
other provisions at home, and makes cot
ion surplus crop. He never gives lien
or mortgage, pays cash for everything ne
buys, and, as consequence, is tree OF
debt. His example is worthy OF Imitation.

ouesting Hon. w. D. Mavfeld, who has
been elected as State Superintendent of

the retiring School Commissioner of An
derson County, as Chief Clerk in his
Office, and there is strong probability
that the appointment will be made. Mr..
Russell will make a very efficient Chief
Clerk for the Superintendent OF Educa-
tion.'

A large crowd of people were attracted
to the city on Salesday, though, owing TO
the low price of cotton, business was not
as good as usual on salesday.. The horse
swappers were numerous, and much trad.
ing was done among them The Master
sold six or seven tracts of land, and all OF
it brought good prices. The estate OF J. B.
Orr was divided into three tracts. Tract
No. /. containing Sc acres, was sold for
$1,000; tract No. 2, containing 68 acres,
$1,000; and tract No. 4, containing As acres.
$500. In the case Of Chapman vs.. Wiles.
a tract of 130 acres was sold for 81 800. In
the case Of Snipes v 8, Hale, tract con-
tanning 60 acres sold for $685. The 6.
acres in the case of Jones vs. Jones sold
for $500. A lot in Belton containing one.
half of acre, iu the case of Sutherland vs.
Young, was bid off at $3.50. These prices
seem to indicate that there is no scarcity
of money in this section.
The Greenyille News, of last Saturday,
says: "There is considerable talk by peo-
ple living in the neighborhood of Fort
Hill of petiLioping the Legislature to es-
tablish 8 new County to be known as CAL
houn, of which the town Of Fort Hill, q
mile from the Clemson College, shall be
the County seat. Fc-t Hill is Is miles
from the County seats of Pickens, Ander-
son and Oconee, and it is proposed to
form the new County out OF portions 0!
these Counties. making it Is miles square
It is understood that the Clemson College
authorities are in favor OF the scheme.
and if the matter is brought before the
Legislature will urge its passage. The
town of Fort Hill is on the Richmond q
Dauville Railroad, and students and
others going to Clemson will get off the
trains at that point. The Government has
established a post Office there, and Mrs
Mary E. Carey has been appointed post
mistress. There is every prospect thai
Fort Hill will develop. into a prosperous
town."
The next attraction in Anderson will be

comes very well recommended to Mana
