quite grasp the pickle we got into. We
will try and give description of ''our
darling" Yes, she is daisy, but we love
her all the same. She is very tall, and
has red hair, blue eyes, freckled face, and
great big wart on the end Of her Roman
nose the size of 32.caliber bullet. Two
of her front teeth are missing, and she is
lame in one leg, and her voice sounds
like "gourd fiddle" But with all these
defects, she has the mildest temper and
the sweetest disposition Of any girl we
have ever met. We didn't want to be
bored by that lightning rod man. So we
thought we would skip and not be forced to
',do him up" Many thanks for your
kindness In asking the question:
We have just returned from Mr.. Cowan's

itative mood, and our thoughts haye been

A Reply to Rev. o. T.. Martin.
ANDERSON, s. c., Sept. 3, 1894.

ANOcRootN3 Ne Os3 OoP" ~ @ooA'
Editors Anderson Intclligcncer-DEAR
s1Rs: AS the Rev. o. L. Martins article
in your last issue seemed intended to dis.
parage the former City Council of Ander-
son by having The people to believe we
were nothing more nor less than lawle's
set of cut.throats, thieves and blackguarda,
elected and kept in office by such, l hav,
ing been one of that body feel compelled
to come forward in vindication of myself.
Just here I am glad to say that when
was put on the Council l was solicited
and run by the best people of Anderson,
and received the support of every class,
for which am yet thankful and at that
time, before the conception of the Dispen-
sary law, the whiskey business Of the city
was run under the license system, and
there was no issue made on that line
whatever; therefore no cause for "blind
tiger nominations. And yet it appears
that Mr.. Martins article would have the
people to believe that our nomination and
election was begotten, conceived, born
and reared In a "blind tiger" when there
was no such thing existing here at that
time. Now, with all due respect for the
position that Mr.. Martin holds, if he, or
any one else, preaumes to say that l, or the
majority of that Council, ever permitted

by either my or their knowledge and con-
sent, it is positively and cnlhdticaNy
false and without foundation, and de.
mand his proof. Neither have I ever
been in favor of "blind tigers" bar-rooms
or whiskey in any form, further than for
medicinal purposes alone, and have ever
voted to suppress it when ever 1 had a
chance to do so, nor do advocate any
other form of law. breaking.
If Mr.. Martin knows what he is writing
about he should confne his remarks more
closely to facts aud draw less on his preju.
dices and imagination. On the other hand
IL he did not be should have said moth
ing and let everything remain quiet and
at peace, as has been the case during his
absence. His article shows to the observ-
ant mind how little he knows about pre-
vious affairs Of the municipality in which
be lives.
Now, in conclusion, let me say how
much more good he might haze done had
he only given his influence to spiritual
instead of secular affairs. May I yet live
to see him one of an honorable body of
City Councilmen presiding over dry
to,c,,, is my wish. will then sympathize
with, not censure, him.
Respectfully,

The election passed off quietly In this
section. The defeated candidates OF this
Township are not grieving over their de-
feat any more than was expected. They
were ali good men, and would have filled
the positions for which they were defeated
with satisfaction to their constituency and
honor to themselves. But they were de.
feated. "And remember told you So"
Gentlemen, the next time take the posi-
tions offered you, for if you don't you will
not get any. A few more much elections

Happenings in and around Piedmont.

Last Sunday was great day with the
Presby byterians of Piedmo ont, it being the
day appointed for the dedication of their
new Church. They have labored diligent-
ly and faithfully for the last twelve
months, and now their labors are crowned
with success beyond their most sanguine
expectations. Like everything else we
undertake, if we have the assistance Of
the good ladies with US, it is not hard to
succeed in all our undertakings, and this
they had, and without which their efforts
would have been in vain. Little did We
think, the first time we visited Piedmont
twenty years ago-when they were just
starting the organized mill-when oil
seemed to be wilderness, that so soon as
this that Piedmont would have popula-
ton of over three thousand people, with
three magnificent Churches built by the
three principal denominations Of the town,
besides the one erected by the Company
in 1870. Yet it is so. I think Col Ham
NETT had all this picture out on his own
mind when he first conceived the idea of
building O Cotton Mill at this place. In
fact, I know he did, for he has talked 1t
to me frequently that Piedmont was not
done, and that the people of this County
would be astonished If they only knew
what Piedmont would be in few years.
He certainly had gigantic mind, and
was able to see farther in the future than
the most of US. This Church building has
cost something near four thousand dol
lars of which the Piedmont Company has
contributed five hundred dollars in cash,
besides allowing them the use of their car
penter shops aud machinery, the same as
they did with the Baptist and Methodist
Churches. The Rev. DR.. Wilson, of Alb
beville, preached the dedication sermon
from S7th Psalm, End verse. The Rev.
Mr.. Hinderlight is conducting a protracted
meeting in the Church this week, All are
cordially invited to attend services at and

Rev. S. J. Cowan has been conducting
meeting in his tent near Piedmont tor

Corn crops are good, but 1 am of the
opinion that the most of the people are
going to be disappointed in cotton. They
will get done picking before they get more
than half what they are expecting.

It has been some time, Mr.. Editor,
since our section has been represented in
the INTELL1aENcER. I have been too
busy attending protracted and political
meetings to write. The meetings at this
place were of much interest.
There are several meetings-which use
to call courting-going on in this section,
and I think the preachers services will
soon be called for. Go ahead, boys, for
the girls like such meetings.
Crops are doing very well.
We have a candidate from this section
who is in the second primary for the Leg
islature. There have been some false
statements circulated about him, and they
no doubt injured him in the first primary.
One of the false reports was that he had
broke up the Alliance here, of which he is
President. There is not one word of truth
in it. If any one will attend our next
meeting they will see him presiding. He
is a true Reiormer and Allianceman, and
our Alliance brought him out as candi-
date. He is no fence rider, as has been
reported. We allude to Mr.. J. j. Cope.
