And so it would, for if we could only
see ourselves as others see us, we might
leave undone great many things that we

on last Saturday, our objective point being
near Central. We took in that tlourishiDg
little town on our trip. To say that Cen
tral is q hourishing little town. is putting
it very mildly, when we take Into consider
alton the vim and push OF the inbabitants
of that place. I don't see why Central
should not be one Of the leading cities OF
the Piedmont bel; in this State, il natural
advantages in beauty of location count Tor
ANYTHING. With a few more such enter
prisipg citizens as they now have to help
Them, Central would soon make its mark
in this State as one of the leading CONNER
cial, as we'll as educational centers. They
have now high school which is second to
none in the State. We had the pleasure
of meeting Mr. Daniel, of Laurens. who 10
the principal, who said that he had Ito
pupils enrolled for the present session,
which I think is very good school for
town of 1896 Inhabitants, according to the
last census, but should think they have
500 now. But contrary to the teachings
ofGovernor Tillman, the town and country
people are in harmony with each other,
especially on the subject of superior edu.
cation for their children, for that is what
they are getting under the management OF
Professor Daniel and their we'll selected
board of trustees. Professor Daniel is also
one of the editors and proprietors OF peat
and well.gotten-up little newspaper, called
The Central 7yro, which means Novice
just initiated. Inc Central
people are Justly proud of their town, their
school, and their neWsy little newspaper
Fine crops was the general talk OF every
one we met. We spent Saturday night

from Central and runs Deef market IN

tees of the High School at Central. Mr..
Baleptine is an Anderson county 5oy-so
ara several others in and around Central,
and reckon that accounts in q part for
our pride in her progress. Ifhaving every
thing that is good to eat in abundance, with
eyerY convenience in and around house
that is needed, is any indication ofa person

county with whom we had the pleasure OF
visiting, are doing we'll. Pckens county

We had light frost here on Saturday
morning, but I don't hear of any damage
being done by the frcst. I would advise
all TO pull the late fodder as soon as 1t WILL
barely do, for frost might come upon US
unawares. 1t is good time to SOW few
oats now, and later on sow wheat. we
ought to raise ali the wheat we need for
home consumption, but I don't think IT
will pay to raise wheat here Tor Market,
but we can raise enough for home con-
sumption, as we can get as good iour now
from our home raised wheat as We can buy
at the stores. Messrs. Nesbitt, Trowbridge
e. Co., Of Piedmont, have lately put up
first-class roller mill at Cedar Falls, IN
Greenyille county, where we can exchange
our wheat for as high grade -four as We
can buy. This is one of the besS things
for the farmers that we have had In some
time-it is the " farmers movement" IN
the right direction. II looks like some OF
our own county citizens could do likewise.
Greenville County has two such mills, with
a prospect of another one. Such mill at
Anderson would be good Investment for
the city, as we'll as the surrounding coun-
try. Think of it. some of you monled
men-"gold bugs" 1t will only cost from
five to six or seven thousand dollars. 10
this and keep the money at home tnat goes
abroad to buy the fifty thousand barrels OF
-four that it would take to do US If we only
consumed barrel Of flour to each lnhaDl'
tant.
J. o. Haynes has moved Mr.. Donny's
iewelry store down and across Main street
in Piedmont and it now stands Opposite
F. E. McKinzie, Sons & Co. Soon there
will be erected by the side of Mr.. Donny's
store larger and more commodious build
ing for the Doctors Richardson to occupy
for their increasing business In drugs, etc.
Jas. B. Marshall & Co. will occupy the
room now occupied by the Messrs. J. NJ.
and N. T. Richardson. So 1t will be seen
that our own home town is making some
progress as we'll as other and smaller towns
are. This shows what a little energy with
little capital will do.
Today (Mopday) has been steady rainy
day-just enough to keep the cotton and
peas too wet to pick. Crops are generally
good in this aeoiion, but cotton pickers are
scarce and hard to get.
