A special dispatch from Columbia to

came to light here today. Last Friday
handsome girl twenty years of age arrived
in the city on the Greenville train and
stopped at boarding house. Saturday
evening she staggered into store and
was was soon in q deep stupor. Physicians
attended her and every attention was
shown her, but she could not talk sensi-
condition. When she
rallied she would not tell anything of her
self except to say that she came from Lau.
rens near where she had taught school.
She also said she came from Newberry,
and that her father, who died In 1884,
lived at Pendleton. She thought she had
come to Greenville. She was examined
by q comm ission this afternoon and COM
mitted to the asylum. The physicians

The Easley Democrat, of last week, says:
1--WE published last week, taken from the
Abbeville Medium, an article wherein the
editor stated that it had never been found
out who cast one Of the two votes that was
given to Edward F. Stokes when he ran
for Congress in 1868, as straighout DEM
ocrat. Last week We did not know our
self who it was that honored Stokes with
one of his two votes, but since then we
have got it from friend living in the 5a-
luda section Of this Township, in whose
NJ. MI joel @I Ellis Ellison, Who is now dead. and
who lived all his life Just over the County
line, In Brushy Greek Township, in An
derson County, but who at the time of the
election lived in Pickens County, was the
gentleman who honored Stokes with his
franchise. Our friend tells us that Ellison
allowed him his ticket, and that he
watched him fold it up and 60 to the box
and deposit it; that he said at the time
that he did not expect that Stokes would
be elected, but he thought he was honest
in his convictions, and he would vote for
him."
Last Friday aIt6rnOOn We enjoyed Qe'
Nghtful ride oyer good portion of the
city with our clever friend, Judge Cox,
and we were agreeably surprised to see so
much Improvement going on. In nearly
every section new houses are going up,
new fences are being built, and Che paint
ers brush is making old houses look like
new. Among other places visited was the
Anderson Tannery, new enterprise
which has recently been built in the ex-
treme northeastern portion of the city by
Mr.. Kssper Schrimp, first-class tanner
who has recently come to Anderson from
Ohio. Mr.. Schrimp met us and very
kindly escorted us through his establish
ment, and explained to as the n,odus oper-
andi Of tanning leather. he has erected
substantial building and has everything
very conveniently arranged, and being
supplied with all of the latest tools used in
his business, is now turning out some
very fine leather, which he finds ready
market for. Mr.. Schrimp is an energetic,
hard.working, deserving man, and We
predict big success for his tannery. The
establishment of this enterprise opens up
q home market for hides and bark, and as
1t takes diversified industries to build up
place, it gives us pleasure to speak of this
tannery. We have room for all such en-
terprises.
