Miss Bessie Adams, eldest daughter OF
Mr.. Alex. Adams, died at her home,
after a short illness with fever, on last
Thursday morning. She was about Is
years of age and was promising young
girl. Her remains were inferred at Good
Hope cemetery on Friday. The bereaved
parents have the sympathy OF the COM
munity in their sorrow.
Mr.. John T. McCown is sick with
fever.
Mrs. Susan McLees is also quite i'll
with fever.
Picking cotton is the order now. 1t is
being gathered as fast as possible. The
crops in this section is not as good as
promised month ago.
Mr.. Baylis Cooley, as usual, is pushing
his business with success. lie is having,
we learn, from five to seven thousand
pounds of cotton picked daily. Since his
crop was laid by he has worked out O
road and opened a ferry, via the Parks
place, to Hartwell, Ga. He has new
flat and wire rope, and is prepared to
accommodate the travelling public. He
has also erected quite a number of sub
stantial Improvements, among them q
large commodious set Of stables acd barn,
in which he has stored over fifteen thOus
and bundles of fodder.
We had the pleasure few days ago of
dining with our venerable friend, Mr..
George L. Stevenson. He takes the same
characteristic pride of past years in dis
pensing his hospitality. He is 7S years
old, but has the vigor of much younger
man. He works with his own hands his
garden and small crop besides, and
nothing pleases him better than to show
his friends around the premises. His
daughter, Miss Martha, is the only child
with him now, and with three orphan
grandchildren, attends to the domestic
affairs of the house. Miss Martha in
formed us that they had not purchased
single pound Of meat the present year,
and told us how she preserves it from
worms and other pest. hesim ply packs
it down in fodder. We partook Of some
of it and can testify that it was the incest
ham that we have tasted in many day.
We also visited G. L. Stevenson, Jr.,
and was treated to some splendid music
instrumental and vOcal-by their little
daughter, Miss Fannie. Mr.. Stevenson
showed us small patch of land-not
more than three-fourths of an acre
which he had in sorghum forage. He
had cut two large two-horse loads from
the land, besides feeding mule since his
crop was laid by, and at present there is
splendid cutting on it. Stock seem to
like it better than most other green food,
and there appears to be more nutriment
in it, as the condition of his stock indi
Gates.
Mrs. Sue Holland has recently had the
roof of her house replaced with new
one, and we learn will soon make other
Improvements by having the painters
brush applied.
Miss Lucy, daughter of Mr.. Thos. B.
Earle, got severely burned some weeks
ago by accidently upseting pot Of hot
tea. She was quite severely scalded, but
we are glad to note that she is out of
danger and will soon we well.

A Venerable Editors Visit to Anderson
1!ountJ.

Col. r. A. Thompson, the venerable ed
itor of the Kcovce Courier Walhalla, was
delegate to the recent session Of Presby-
terry, which was held at Good Hope
Church, in this County. and in writing up
his trip he speaks as follows of two of An
derson County's best and most prosperous
citizens:
During our recent visit to Presbytery
we met number of old soldiers, MEM
bers of the Second Regiment of Rifles.
Doc. Jones, fifteen year old volunteer,
survived the conflict, was married, and
boys and three girls. Doc. is still young
man, and is prospering on the worldly
side of life. Everybody wishes him we'll.
The largest farmer in Anderson proba-
bly, Mr.. Preston B. Allen, resides at Starr,
on the Savannah Valley Railroad, nine
miles South of Anderson. Mr.. Allen is a
native of Abbeville, and is thirty-seven
years old. He commenced farming in
Anderson in 1881, but did not make
enough cotton that year to pay for the
guano used in the cultivation Of the crop.
But be was more fortunate In 1882. He
commenced the purchase of land IN that
year and made fairly good crop. Grad
ually his purchase Of lands has increased
to 5000 acres, valued at $50, 900, and his
crops year by year have been on the in
crease. His cotton crop one year am CUNT
ed to more than 500 large bales. His
cotton crop of last year sold for more than
$4,000 and be lost about s. 500 by holding
part OF his crop until the price went to its
lowest. Mr.. Allen also cultivates corn
and oats largely and successfully.
Mr.. Aliens mode of farming is by rent
ing. He works forty-fvo mules, and
from these be gets half the crop, and one.
third where the renter furnishes bis own
stock. He has both white and black ten.
ants.
We had the pleasure of riding over Mr..
Aliens eleven hundred acre farm, near
where he lives. As general thing the
cotton is unusually fine. In June last a
cyclone swept over this place, demolish-
ing thirty buildings. Some of the cotton
was nearly destroyed. It was planted
over on the 18th OF June. The cotton is
now opening and with late fall will
make good crop.
MIR. Allen uses large quantities of fertil-
izers. He composts his stable manure and
cotton seed, and also uses about three
hundred pounds of guano to the acre. He
plows his cotton eight times on an average
during the season. This is q very meagre
description of the largest farming opera
tons in our section.
Mr.. Aliens success stamps him as one
of the best farmers in the country. He
lacks only $500 of being square with the
world, and lost that amount by "holding"
of his crop last year. He is gentleman
of great energy and 'lnflagging industry.
His success proves that most abundantly.
He is generous to fault and stands by his
friends in every emergency. We wish
him great success in the future.

stricken and in a few hours breathed his
last without having regained conscious

and in his childhood came to America
with his parents, who settled in Abbeville
County. In his young manhood he came
to Anderson County, where he has resided
ever since, having lived in the neighbor.

CITY TAXPAYERS.

If the people of Corvallis who are opposed
to the purchase of the old water works de-
sire to prevent said purchase they can do
so if number of tax payers of the town as
sociate themselves together and join In a
suit to prevent the councllmen from consum-
mating the sams and paying out the city S
money therefor.
The legality of the city purchasing said
works has been carefully looked into and
found. beyond any question, that the char
ter of the city does not authorize the coun-
Gil to purchase water plant Of that kind.
The charter of the city very wisely describes
es what kind of water works the city is au-
thorized to purchase which shows plainly
that this old water works is not the kind
authorized, and it is qxite possible that II
eouncilmen press forward and make an un-
authorized expenditure Of the city's money
for this water plant, that they may be per
sonally liable to the city for the money thus
wrongfulIy expended There is no question
of the tax payers being able to prevent the
old works from being purchased if they
have the snap to do so. The writer is viii
ling tc join with other tax payers to bring
the suit, if Others wish to join in doing so.
We have no objection to the owners of the
water works selling them for twice as much
a, offered to the city if they can, but l have
serious objections as a tax payer of buying
and having to help pay for them. As quite
number of people from tiae to time have
asked me earnestly what could be done to
prevent said transaction, take this method
of informing Them III. S. WooDcoCK.

of his whereabouts to California and Ore.
