The cotton is not touched by hand at all.
It is carried from the wagon into the press,
and there baled by-machinery. The sam.
pie made is very good, indeed. It is very
much freed from dirt and stain, and the
owner of the cotton certainly gets all the
lint there is on his seed. Too little atten-

of cotton during the last twenty five years.

The weather has been very wet and win

thunder that hear I judge there will be
more falling weather. The campmeeting
and little rain combined, has given the

The person who said that everything
was quiet during campmeeting is, I am
sorry to say, very badly mistaken.
Everything was making noise. The

A Good Suggestion.

EDITORS INTELL1aENcER: For several
years we have wished and hoped to see
organized in Anderson County "Ladies'
Memorial Association" having as an OBJ
iect at present the care of the neglected
graves Of the Southern Soldiers found in
our cemeteries, and in the future 10 erect
monument to their memory. Some of
the graves have been entirely obliterated,
and others are in very unsightly condi.
ton. This is peculiarly woman's work,
SO we suggest to the good women Of our
at least an effort to undertake this work.
1t is surprising to find Anderson so indif.
ferent on this point Other Counties, far
inferior to ours financially, have erected
monuments some Of which are very
handsome, commenorating alike the
valor of the dead and gratitude Of the liy
ing. Among the thousands who fought
and died defending our Southland, none
were braver or more patriotic than those
who went from Anderson County. These
gave their all-life itself-and surely we
should, in some lasting way, show our
appreciation of the sacrifice by erecting
either on our Public Square or quiet
Brookside Cemetery, a fitting monument
to their memory.
We do not think the sterner sex of our
County would refuse to help in this work,
those Survivors who shared all
the hardships Of that "Cruel War; Let
the mothers, wives and daughters begin
work, and we believe their efforts will be
successful.
Personally we feel the deepest interest
in this work? We have watched the sue.
cess of Memorial Associations in other
Counties, and longed to see such an effort
in our own. From childhood the "Lost
Cause has been dear to US. Among our
earliest memories are stories of camp.life,
weary marches and imprisonment told
by six uncles, who followed Lee and jack
son, and who were to our childish imagi.
nation, greater heroes than the knights
of olden time. Five of these have ''passed
over the river" and the sweetest thought
that comes to as as we stand beside their
graves, is that they were true Southern
Soldiers.
We know there must be others who are
equally interested in the subject, and we
have only written this to solicit their CO.
operation. Let a day be appointed for all
who feel sufficiently interested to meet
together and organize; the rest of the
work will be made plain to US. This is
manifestly our duty; should we neglect it,
the children of to-day will, in few years,
be ready to claim it as a privilege. We can
speak with absolute certainty on this
point; we have under our daily influence
one hundred and fifteen children, every
one of whom will be found enthusiastic
on the subject ola mortal to our South
ern Soldiers"

Gently that he had quite mania in that

decorations Of the recent Centennial of
Good Hope Church, and while talking to
another party, John, overheard the mem

once, without much inquiry, satisfied
himself that a wedding was on hand, aud
proceeded at once to don his best bibb and

something like this, '"iaE mi di do" His

setting the Church in order for the next
Sundays service.

The Pearson Meeting.

Mr.. Pearson, the Evangelist, arrived in
Anderson last Friday, and went to Hotel
.Chiquola, where he has since been. He
began his meeting last Sunday, preaching
the first sermon at eleven o'clock, from the
text: "And the word of the Lord came
unto Jonah the second time, saying arise,
60 unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach
unto it the preaching that 1 bid thee."-
Jonah, 3 Oh, 1 and verses. His discussion
on this occasion was in answer to these
three questions, "Why am here? What
am to preach? and how am I to preach
it? He said am here to preach. T am
here to preach the suord of God. I am here
to preach the word plainly, simply and di-
rectly
Sunday night his text was, "Be not de-
ceived, God is not Knocked. Whatsoever a
man soweth, that shall he also reap" This
text was treated under three heads, man
must reap. The reaping shall be Of the
same kind as the sowing. The reaping
shall be in excess of the sowing. He said
oats" but you must reap them, and the
reaping shall be of the same kind as the
sowing and in excess Of the sowing.
:, At eleven o'clock Monday the subject of
the Bible Reading was "How to use the
Scriptures" Illustrating that judgment
and discretion should be used in applying
or using Scripture. The same does not S nit
every case.
Monday night the Evangelist took for his
subject, "'Faith and Works." and clearly
showed that we are justified in the sight Of
God by faith, and in the sight of men by
works. That justifying faith and works
are inseparable companions.
Tuesday at II a. m. the subject of the
Bible Reading was Working for God"
drawing clearly q distinction between
doing Church work and working for God.
That night the Evangelist took for his
subject, Regeneration. He showed clearly
from the word Of God. that this is peculiar
ly and exclusively the work of God, for.
God alone can create, and regeneration is
making new creation of the soul.
Yesterday morning at eleven o'clock.
there was an interesting Bible Reading,
and last night sermon on the soul.
To say that these meetings are intensely
interesting is but to express the truth mild
ly. All who attended arefull of the meet
ings, and the prospects are very promising.
