SCION the wise ana Crpsus the hHnR.
There lived in Athens some six hundred
FEARS before the birth of Christ a very wise
md generous man named Scion. He was
4 rich merchant as well rs n great scholar,
and on account of his wisdom Is consid-
cred as being the most noted of the Seven
Wise Men of Greece. Scion proposed good,
wholesome laws, which his countrymen
gladly accepted, and under which Athens
enjoyed a period of peace and prosperity.
There lived in Lydia, "a country in Asia
Minor, a very rich king named Crpsus,
who invited Scion to visit him. When So
Ion had beheld all the beauty and splendor
Of the palace he was asked by Croesus IL
ever he had known n happier man han he.
The answer was, Yes, an honest man,
who had good children, and died bravely
in battle for his country" The king was
disappointed, and asked If he knew any
other man more happy than he. Scion
answered that he had known two loving
brothers who were kind to their mother,
and had died a tranquil death while pro-
viding for her. Crusus was much dis
pleased, and asked why he should not be
considered happy. To which Scion replied
that no mans life could be judged whether
it be happy or not until the end of it.
Crusus was afterward conquered by
Cyrus, king of Persia, and sentenced to be
burned to death. When on the funeral
pyre he cried out in agony, go Solonl O
Solonl' King Cyrus asked why he called
on Scion, and when Crusus had related
what Scion had said Cyrus freed Crusus
and honored him rs long rs he lived. Thus
Scion was the means of saving one kings
life and of instructing another. -School

The most expensive Of trunks, portman
teaus, etc, are soon rendered unsightly by
the repeated FASTING on of labels. All this
may be avoided, it appears, by the use of
an English invention, which consists of a
base of tough flexible board on which are
placed, one on top of the other, twelve
parchment paper labels, the whole being
securely fastened together with metal
clips, and an eyelet to carry the string for
attachment to luggage. The frequent at
tachment of fresh labels is thus avoided,
rs the old or directed surfaces have simply
to be torn off as used, and a fresh one is
always ready for redirection until the

EDITORS INTELL1GENcER: Will you
please allow me small space in your
paper for The purpose Of asking our Coun.
ty Commissioners if certain rumors are
true about the Fork Country not paying
any ferryage when they come over to An.
derson? Now, Mr.. Editor, this is the
flying runlor all through our County, that
the County Commissioners order the fer
ryman at Sloan's Ferry to keep an account
Of the number of people who live in the
Fork who come over to Anderson and
return, and make his monthly report
against the County, and they approve it
and order it paid by the County. Now,
Mr.. Editor, if this be 80, we want to know
why it is so, and why the Commissioners
will show so much partiality to the Fork
people who do not ask it of them? Has
there been a special tax levied for that
purpose2 If so, then the Commissioners
have right to do so But if there has
been no special tax levied for that pur-
pose, then they have,I think a right to
pay the ferryage OF any one who may wish
to visit the Fork country, both going and
coming. Will the Commissioners please
clear away the mist from the eyes of the
people upon this matter and oblige voter
Of Anderson County? HUMP.

Mr.. Steele McLees was drowned in N.
G. Burriss' mill pond on last Saturday
afternoon, the 21st inst. The particulars
are about as follows: He and his cousin,
Mr.. James Cochran, were bathing in said
pond, some hundred yards or more above
the dam, and were called by Mr.. Burriss
to assist in putting some plank on the
race. They Immediately started down the
stream, Mr.. Cochran in the lead. Mr..
Cochran stopped at the head of the race,
and warned the young man not to wade
but swim to him, as there was a plank eff
at the bottom of the dam, which formed
kind of suck hole, and which was very
dangerous, rendered much more so by the
creek being up. Mr.. McLees persisted in
wadine and was drowned in this crack,
with the result stated. Mr. Cochran did
everything in his power to save the young
man, but in vain. He was drowned
about o. clock and was taken out about
six, the creek being so high rendered it
almost impossible to get at the body. The
affair is sad, indeed, and is made doubly
so from the fact that he was just entering
manhood, about Is years Of age, and bet
ter young man could not bo found. His
father died when he vas quite young,
which throwed the responsibility of tax.
ing care of widowed mother on his
shoulders. From his childhood to his
grave be has been faithful son. Being
of good disposition, he made friends of
nearly everv one he met, and the
announcement OF his death spread gloom
over the entire community. His grief
stricken mother has the sympathy of this
whole section in her bereavement The
remains were buried at Roberts on Sun
day afternoon.
Rev. J. Walter Dickson preached an

congregation was large and attentive.
