essary. Suffice to say, however, that the
plans for the disposal of lots and stock, as
offered by the Company, is the most lib
eral that could be offered, taking into con-
sideration that two very important lines
of Railroad, a splendid farming country,
and the finest water power in the South,
the building and locating of various enter
prises, all of which is the nucleus upon
which the basis of the town is predicated.
That the future Of the enterprise is ex-
its prospects will doubt for moment,
because in this day of rapid town build
ing and the experience of men skilled in
that art, it requires but short time to
reach high results. TO read the accounts
of new cities springing up all over the
South, is like reading fairy tales; but,
nevertheless, they are all true, and what
has taken place in one section of the South
will be repeated here where the conditions
are highly. favorable.
To some who are not familiar with the
phenomenal growth and sudden transfer
nations taking place all over the new
South, it would be very difficult to con-
vey an idea of the possi bilities of this, the
greatest country on earth, but our people
are awakening from long slept dream,
and moving forward with determination
to build up and develop, fully realizing
the possibilities of country so great in
her natural resources. Every one knows

Mr.. J. J. Brewer, who lives in the
Northeast corner Of the County, near the
Greenville line, was in the city Monday
and called to renew his subscription to
the INTELLIaENoER for another year. Mr..
Brewer said he had almost come to the
conclusion to stop his subscription to the
INTELL1aENcER, as he never had time to
read it, but before he left home his little
daughter, Miss Emma, told him not to do
1t. She said she would pay five dollars
year for the INTELLIdENCER rather than
do without it. Miss Emma is certainly a
young lady of fine judgment and we
hope she will live long and happy life,
and the INTELLIGENcER an ever welcome
visitor to her home.

The Charleston World, of last Saturday,
says: 1.-THE Masonic Grand Lodge, of the
jurisdiction of South Carolina, will con.
vene at Anderson on December 10. It
may be remembered that at the last ses-
sion in Charleston efforts were made by
the low country delegates to have the
meeting here, but the Anderson people,
who have erected masonic temple, de.
sired the meeting in their town, and
finally got it. This will be the first meet
ing Of the Grand Lodge outside of Charles
ton since the erection of the masonic tenn.
pile here, and, so some of the Masons say,
it will probably be the last for very long
time" Our people will give the Masons
cordial welcome. Grand Master Diver
says he expects to SEQ more than three
hundred delegates present at this session
of the Grand Lodge.

This is the best finished residence in the

These illustrations are enough to SHOW

These illustrations are enough to show
that the modern magician follows closely
in the footsteps Of the ancient exhibitors
OF automata, and that in all cases the
effects are due more or less to trickery,
No matter how intricate the machinery
used. the secret Of their working is very
simple, and the human brain and hand
really produce the effects. Yet, while
during many years mechanical figures
have amused millions, the secrets of
their construction have been 80 jealously
guarded that no public explanations Of
them have been heretofore made.
Nearly every modern prestidigitateur
now adds an exhibition of the Hindoo-
stani black art to his programme. They
also use mechanical devices, as well a.
appearing and disappearing figures.
These latter illusions are caused simply
by deftly removing black coverings from
the objects that appear 80 mysteriously
in the uncertain light or replacing them
TO cause the disappearance.
Ancient magicians were credited with
supernatural power. Modern exhibitors
of the black art have made no such
claims, and in view Of the simplicity of
many Of their tricks it is wonderful that
the public has been SO long mystified and
the secrets so well kept. JEROME
