that they have all been put in good con-
clifton. Among them are the eight old
battle-scarred monitorS-the Nahant
Jason, Satskill, Lehigh, Montauk, Can
onicus, Mahopca and Manhattan. The
engines and boilers on every one of the
iron ''cheesebox rats have been placed
in such condition, according to work
men about the yard, that they could be
steamed up today, If necessary. Each
monitor is armed with two 10-inch muz-
zle-loading guns, still good for service,
although modern S-inch rifles could be
mounted in their places IN the turrets
within a few days. The monitors are
practically ready for coast and hdrbor
service at a few days notice.
In addition, the dynamite cruiser We
suvfus and the modern double-turreted
monitor MiantonomOh are now in as
good condition, if not better, than thsy
We're when taken out of commission last
year. League Island could turn out a
feet Of fron-clads adequate for coast
defense quicker than a cruiser could
cross the Atlantic.
STUDIED THE WAR ENGINES.
The dispatch boat Dolphin arrived at
League Island before 9 o'clock in the
morning and was received with q salute
OF fifteen guns. Accompanying Assist
ant Secretary McAdoo were mis- wife and
Lieutenant 4 H. Niblack They were
received by Commandment Howell and
the staff officers at the yard The
eight iron monitors lying in the back
channel were each carefully inspected
by the assistant secretary He paid
particular attention to the machinery
and turrets, ana expresses surprise that
the Nahant and Jason, which have been
lying at League Island for several yeare.
were in such good condition
The secretary also took a look at the
back channel, as work on ii had been
tagging. The party also inspected the
receiving ship Richmond, which will
soon have enlarged berth accommoda-
tons; and then they went out TO the
battleship Massachusetts in a steam
launch. 1t was late in the afternoon
when the party finished the inspection
and reboarded the Dolphin. The dis
patch boat steamed up the river and
anchored off Green street for the night.
The assistant secretary will inspect
the monitor Ajax and other government
property in possession of the Camden
naval reserves this morning. The Dol
phfn viii go from Philadelphia TO New
York, and after inspecting the Atlantic
coast stations and the site OF the naval
reserve encampment at GARDENERS Point
Mr.. McAdoo will go TO Detroit TO wit

val militia ON board the United States
steamship Michigan He will then pro-
coed to Chicago to inspect the naval

not only does the immediate vicinity

along the line of the Saluda, a name
pregnant with energy and important
possibilities, there exist in the Town

In the matter of fraternal societies,
the town has prosperous Masonic and
Knights of Pythias Lodges, which
meet regularly and are well attended,
each organization having member
ship of about twenty-five persons.
The Master of the former is Col. l..

There is also a Camp Of United
Confederate Veterans, with mem
bership of about thirty-ive, of which
Captain James W. Poore is Comman-
der.
The social life of the town is Of a
higher order than is to be found in the
average town of its size. y majority
of the inhabitants were among the
earlier settlers of the town, or are de-
scendcd from families whose history
is we'll known in connection with the
past development of the surrounding
section of country. There is plenty
of room and cordial invitation for
all wcll-meaning strangers, and some
have found pleasant homes in the
community, but there have been re-
markably few inharmonious and dis

body Of the LEGAL citizenship, and Il
most sympathetic and friendly cast
is lent to the social atmosphere.

Mr.. \. R. Campbell, of the firm Of
+. W. Campbell & Company, of Bel
ton, was born February 26, 1888, near
Calhoun, and spent his boyhood days
around Bolton, attending the schools
of that day. At the age of fifteen,
however, he entered store as clerk,
and som after went into business on
his own account in 1893. Since that
time he has been actively engaged in
business, pursuits, but part of the
time he spent in farming: and in this
branch of work he is very successful.
No man has taken deeper interest
in the welfare and prosperity of the
town of Bolton than Mr.. Cambbell,
and he has always responded literally
when called on to help his town. In
fact. it might be mentioned that the
whole Campbell family has been
noted for this trait of character, and
it has been one of the means of max
ing them so popular with their fellow
citizens. They have always seen
their way clear to bel p in this dircc-
ton, and it ultimately ended in their
being materially helped themselves.

lands and the most substantial class
of farmers OF any community of SINH
lar size in the State. Scarcely any
section of the county will furnish so
convincing proof III support of this
assertion as that territory lying con-
tiguous to this town, for probably no
where in the State can there be found
more intelligent and substantial
farming element than that which here
abouts exists. The soil is capable of
yielding large returns upon invested
labor, and the neat dwellings,. we'll
cultivated farms and general air of
prosperity which pervades the COM
munity is an indication that these
benefits are wisely and largely being
taken advantage Of. If details were
gone into there would be revealed the
names Of not a few farmers who lend
money and hold stock in many of the
banking and manufacturing concerns
of Anderson and elsewhere.
The present government of the
town is in the hands of young men of
energy and business ability. The In
tendent is r. \. Lewis, the wardens
w. A. Clement, j. T. Rice, D. y.
Geer and \. R. Campbell, The last
named is also Clerk and Treasurer of
the town, which position he has held
for several years. All these officers
are men of practical experience and
well able to satisfactorily direct the
affairs of the community. 4. r. Toll
lison is the town marshall and over
seer of the street force.
The leading manufacturing enter
prise of the town is the Belton Cotton
Seed Oil Mill and Ginnery, which is
owned and operated by MesSrS. +. B.
and J. II. Rice. This establishment
is equipped with the most suitable
and approved machinery for its pur-
poses. The ginncry has a capacity of
twenty bales Il day. The oil plant is
capable of working up twenty tons of
seed per day, or two thousand tons
per season, with an average produc
ton of IS 900 to so, 600 gallons of oil,
and 800 tons of meal. The mill is
provided with electric lights, and en-
ploys ten to twelve men. In addition
to the ginnery and oil mill is thor
oughly furnished machine shop for
turning out Spokcs, drills, etc. Ihis
feature of the business is conducted
by McSsrs. Il. W. Taylor and +. NJ.
Taylor. both of whom are thorough
machinistS. and the former Of whom
has invented some successful and i'm
portant articles Of wide mechanical
utility. The cntirc plant represents
an investment OF about $23 900.
The mercantile establishments of
the town are reliable and firmly cStab
lishc,l. and are in the main controlled
bv energetic men and conducted or

ciplcs. They are for their support
and prosperity naturally dependent
upon the agricultural interests which
surround them. but their methods Ct

The only impediment to an early
realization of advantages from these
sources Of development is the appa
rent absence of a leader to direct local
energy and capital into these chan
nels, and to present to the outside
world the facts, which are, of them
selves, aoundaptly able, when shown
forth, to compel a recognition of their
value and Importance. Such man,
however, exists, and under the press
ure which the impetus of modern ad-
vancement is bringing to bear upon all
communities which possess enterprise
and resources, his early advent may,
with reasonable certainty, be expected.

annually. not including the cotton
trade, which is handled through local
firms, amounts, at modest estimate,
to between $3.50, 900 and 100000.
The fact that Belton is one of the
best cotton markets in this section is
shown by the fact that the receipts
have doubled within the last five
years, and that twice as many pro-
ducers of cotton as are in the territory
naturally tributary to the town make
this their selling market. The size
of the annual receipts, the proximity
of the town to large manufacturing
centers and the extra quality of the
staple produced in this section, rem
der the markets desirable one to
control, and as a result of the compe-
tition of the buyers of the Pelzer and
Piedmont Companies and other deal
crs. sellers seldom fail to receive the
best prices that the market can put
forth. The books of Maj. G. w.
Cox, the veteran public wcigher.
show that for the season Of lS94-95
6,325 bales OF cotton were marketed
here, aud 5000 for the season Of
1886, this trade alone circulating

s20@,O0 per annum. Few towns, it
may be here called to mind. can show
