In the last issue of the INTELL1GENcER
we noticed that O writer replying to us for

and attempts to correct them. In the hr:t
misstatement he says: "Swamp Fox mel
Their wrote nor even suggested one line or
word of Ellis reply to a rap given him In
the INTSLL1aENCER Of q week before"
We never Infatuated that Swamp Fox'
had anything whatever to do with the re
ply, because he is hardly able to manage
his own affairs, but any one with common
sense can see that "Ellis'' is not the writer.
In the second lnisstatement he says HE
went over to one Of his close neighbors
(who had Just returned from a visit to the
young LADY, to find out if she was com
ing" That is positively untrue. and will
refer "Ellis'' to- the INTELLIaENcER OF the
22nd ult. for proof of the above assertion
In the third misstatemenG be says. THAT
no such a thing 40 ELLIS being at work
had ever bsen known before" We are
glad to congratulate the writer on calling
our attention TO the matter, ss we do re-
member seeing him-haviDg on his collar,
cravat and cufs-driving a horse hitched
70 q plow up the street lastsummer. Guess
he was going to the parsonage. In conclu-
sion be says that bis reply had been called
forth more in defense of the young lady
than himself, but We fail to see any de.
Tense whatever for the young lady, (the
most beautiful and accomplished among
bis acquaintances,) and very little for him.
Hereafter we will not notice any reply
from "Ellis," and if he attempts to do 30
will take it for granted that 1t will be on
account Of ignorance.

A Sunday School has been organized at

Superintendent. This is a step In the right
direction.
Many of our farmers are up with their
work.
There was q most enjoyable picnic at
Liberty Springs last Saturday: The pa.
irons of the school speak in the highest
terms of Miss Moore's work.
Mr.. W. Rogers was circulating In these

ing an ear Of corn in your pocket to toll
Hrs. O's shote home with you SO you
could drive it back again. The Captain
says If you monkey around you'll get his
eddie busted over your head.
Last Saturday we decided to take "trip.
| SO in the afternoon we pulled out from
| Bolton and made a bee line for our best
| girls. When w0 arrived we found her at
| home with one of her small brothers.
| The rest Of the family had gone to the
| picnic. So you see we werein the clover.
| We found her in the kitchen with her
| sleeves rolled up and q white spot on her
nose like she had been trying to root the
bottom out of the flour barrel. She greet
ed us cordially, and some of hat same
white stuff was transferred to our sum
burned nasal organ. Then she spread a
delicious feast before us and we certainly
| did Justice to her dainties. After we had
satisted our appetite, she got a volume or
Sweet Auburn and carried US down
to the spring to soothe and comfort our
troubled spirit. Our mind wandered
back to the spring in North Georgia
where we have often sat listening to the
musical voice of one who was all the
world to us. And we could not restrain
the tears that stole down our tanned fea-
lures. 1t was like some fairy dream to
sit and listen to her as she read about
1.-THE Deserted Village" She glanced up
and said, "Sam, what is the matter with
you?" and then we told her "our little
tale of VICE." and she talked to US 80 gent
" and kindly that we are made stronger
and are prepared to resist the many temp
tations that surround US. We believe
the girls could accomplish much for the
cause of Christ If they would only let Us
bad fellows know that they are q friend to
us and get US in q corner once in a while
and lecture us. We have a spot in ouI
heart dedicated to that little fairy, and
we shall always love her and remember
her kind words wherever we may be.
We returned by Union Grove and found
a large crowd al Sunday School. We are
80 glad that 1t has revived, for now the
boys can have some place to 60 to tha'
will keep them out Of mischief.
The preaching day at Beaverdam has
been changed from the second Saturday
and Sunday to the third Saturday ano
Sunday. Remember this and govern
yourself accordingly.
We think there ought to be a Sunday
School at T%ucksrville. Won't some one
take this matter in hand and go to work
and get up a school? We hope to see
tiourishing school at this place ere long

Tn Favor OF q Poultry Show.

ME-. EDITOR: I agree perfectly with
your suggestion to have q poultry SHOW IN
Anderson this autumn. BY all means let
us have one. Our neighboring counties OF
abbeyille and Greenville hold them.
Don't let III be behind. Fancy poultry
breeding has reached large proportions IN
the South, in the last 4 or 5 years, and Is
increasing rapidly. We have competed
with Northern exhibitors and have carried
off a generous share of the blue and RED
ribbons. We have as good stock In South
Carolina as there is in the world. and some
of the finest of this fine stock Is In Ander-
son and adjoining counties. MI. E: O.
Conner, of Cokesbury. is a notable breeder,
having carried off first on L%angshsn Cock
erel at the Boston poultry show last win
ter. South Carolina has taken first prize
at several Southern poultry elbows. There
is some fine stock In Anderson County,
that we are sure would be a revelation to
the Ian people of the county. Why not
have a column In the IN~TELL1aENoER de-
voted to poultry culture?

AS to Pensions.

AS has already been stated the increase
of the amount appropriated for pensions
from $50, 900 to $lOo, 900 has caused many
thousands of people to make applications
and hundreds of them are bound to be
disappointed. There are hardly enough
application blanks to supply the demand.
The Comptroller General estimates that
there will be at least 1000 applications,
whereas, under the old law, there were
only about 1000 who received pensions.
Instead of being increased, there is every
probability that the number of penAion-
ers will be decreased While the law
doubled the appropriation, it divided
pensioners and amounts they Were TO re-
ceiye in certain classes, which, II paid,
would soon dispose Of the the appropria'
ton entirely even in one class. The law
also provides that where a man has d net
income of 500 yearly from any source be
shall not have a pension, but there are 9
great many who have that income ano
more yearly, who are making applica.
tons. None such will receive pensions
but there seems to be a general idea thal
| almost every Confederate soldier car
| come in, while, as q matter OF fact, the
number of pensioners will be increased
very little, If at all. II it is increased Ger.
tainly pensioners will not get what il
provided for in tho Act, because tht
| board ia allowed to scale 1t down which
| will have to be done ii there Is much o.
an increase in the numbers. -C0tun1bit
