We clip the following from the Milledge.
Vile Chronicle, of the 18th inst: An ac-
complished; and pleasant gentleman paid
us a visit on Wednesday, which was ex.
.ceptionally agreeable. Capt. Minor is well
known here. He Is a graduate OF our
college with: the highest honors IN the
class. He is}now. living, at Anderson, g..
c.. and doing q fine business there, with
every prospect OF success, The city of
Anderson should be proud, yea. very
proud to claim such citizens as Cnp.. 9. s.
Minor. He is making things hum With
his dime store, and the people stand and
wonder how he sells goods for that price"
In the arrangement or location of electric
lights and hydrants care should be taken
to give every citizen his rights, and leave
none to complain Of taxation without par
.ticipation in the benefits. And at the be-
ginning is the best time to settle these
matters. The question is not whether it
pays the city or not, butwhetber the citi-
zen IS entitled to the benefits of these pub
}lic works or not. We make these sugges-
tions not.as complaints but as purely sug-
gestions. In the language of Joshua w
and special privileges to none" If a citi-
zen is taxed to build them that citizen has
alright to the benefits resulting from them.
ut has often been asked how much water:
viii, the Stand Pipe contain. We have in,
.vestigated, and find that Sit will contain.
;190. .s43 gallons. 70 do this requires 9,423
cubic yards contents. It is 900 feet high,
600 feet in diameter at1the base and 600
feet at the top; 1t contains 12O sheets of
iron, put together by 1862 riyets. This
structure was begun and completed within
six weeks. In addition to the height
above given, it is located on one of the
highest points in the city, aud is guaran :,
teed to furnish sufficient force to throw
stream of water ninety feet without the
assistance Of an engine. With hydrants
so arranged as to be accessibie.to all parts
of the city, we may hope for less trouble in
the future from 6re.
The County Republican Convention
met on last Friday in the Court House "A
full delegation was present from every
Township except Brushy Creek, Broadway
and Honea Path. There was only one
white delegate in, the Convention-Col
Cochran. He opposed nominations for
Congressman in Third District or State of.
fcers, saying that 1t would only result in
race antagonism, in which the negro would
be the sufferer, and that g better feeling
existed between the races at this time than.
at any period since the war. The Conyeu-
ton took different view and elected del
egates to Congressional Convention.

WV. Russell for the nomination, it was
voted down, although it Is claimed that
