During the past few weeks Rocky
Ford has been q paradise for one class OF
travellers. We refer 10 those transient
visitors who arrive in town on the blind
baggage, in coal cars or riding ON the
rods under passenger coaches. These
guests have had genuine picnic. The
Santa Fe side tracks have contained
many box cars in which were straw for
bedding watermelons, making ideal sleep.
ing quarters for the peripatetic gentry
and !nxuries galore were at their COM
mand. The culls Of the watermelon
shipments were handed out freely, and
at Swink's warehouse, and elsewhere
where cantaloupes are packed, all the
cantaloupes they could eat were to be
had for the asking. In tho enjoyment Of
these iuxurlee they Ind regular Brown

OF the tramp be proud when such royal
treatment is accorded him.
"A business man remarked recently,
on his return from Europe, that the

there is in the remark may be demon.

that the Venezuela question has assumed

worse; and diplomatic tangle; any petty
broil in Crete or in the Soudan, makes q
crisis on exchanges. And broadly
throughout the great commercial nations
insignificant events may bring on an at
tack of nerves, and bring disaster to

House" in time Of dual the Legislature
and was locked up with it for four
days and nights. AS chairman of the
ways and means committee he rendered
valued service 10 the State, when the
Radicals were doing all in their power
to bankrupt the entire State, and
those who remember those stirring
times know what he actually performed
in this line. He remained in the
Legislature until 1880, and since that
time has taken no active part in State
politics. In 1887 he was appointed a
member of Gov. Hamplon's staff, with
the rank of Colonel OF cavalry.
Since 1882 he has devoted himself
to the practice of law, and is now at
the head of the firm of Simpson &
Hood, who are enj"ying very large
share of the legal 5usinessin Anderson
and other counties. He is the local
counsel for the Southern Railway and
the Blue Ridge Il. R. When in the.
Legislature Col. Simpson began an
active fight to get a college established
for the poor boys of The State. He
labored indu-triously for the accom-
pIishment of this purpose, and his.
efforts in this direction proved success
full. He was the confidential attorney
for Thos. &. Clemson, founder of
Clemson College, and sop-iu-law of
John G. Calhoun. After the death Of
Mr.. Clemson, he was made executor
of his estate, and was the defendant in
the celebrated case of Lee VS.. Simpson,
which involved the entire Clemson
property.
When the Board ofTrustees Of the
College was organized he was elected
President and still holds that position.
He took a personal interest in the es-
tablish huept of the College, and did
much to make it such a success.
Col. Simpson is member of the
Methodist Church, and has taken 80
degrees in Masonry. His home is in
Pendleton, but he comes to Anderson
every day to attend to the duties Of
his law office. He owns considerable
real estate around Pendleton.

ideal teacher, and the cause Of educa,

the field of teaching. He has been
farmer all his life, and for four years
was engaged in merchandising at
Townville. -. =
In 1892 he was elected Auditor OF
Anderson county over two competl-
tors by handsome majority, and two 70
years later was reelected by still
larger majority over two other com
petitors. {,
This year, 1896, he was reelected
County Auditor, this time without
opposition, receiving the largest vote
ever given candidate for office in the
history Of the county. 1t is no dis
paragement of his predecessors II the
office, or. of those who shall succeed
him. to say that Anderson county will
never have more thoroughly com
petent or efficient Auditor than is the
present incumbent. This is credit
alike to Mr.. Boleman and to the peo-
ple whom he serves. Mr.. Boleman
is Presbyterian, having united with
the church at Townville in 1884.

Mr.. William P. Snelgrove, the ef:
fcient and popular Supervisor OF
Anderson county, was born at Edge
field, February 2lst, 1855, but that
same year his father moved to Pickens
county, short distance from the An
derson line, where he lived until 1864,
when he moved to Anderson county.
Mr.. Snelgrove spent all Of his lite on
tho farm, with the exception OF the
time when he was attending the
schools of his day. He grew up to
love farm work and was one OF the
most successful farms in this county:
He understoods that business and
knew how to conduct farm on pay
ing basis. His father before him
was pratical and successful farmer,
and was one of Anderson leading
citizens.
Mr.. Snelgrove continued at that
avocation until 1892, when he was
elected County Commissioner OF An
derson, serving two years in that
Office. When the office of Supervisor
was established he was unanimously
elected and still holds that position
with dignity and credit. When he
went into Office it was new and un-
tried experiment and he had to battle
with many difficulties, but he master
ed every detail, and has gained vast
deal of experience since he took hold
of the reins as Supervisor:
The first thing that Mr.. Snelgrorc
did when he had learned the ropes
was to begin to put the roads in a
splendid condition, SO that'they would
be an honor to Anderson county. In
this he has succeeded remarkably
well, as every one accustomed to
travelling through the county can at
test. He has worked marvels in this
line, and deserves every bit OF the
credit which he has won. lie is
practical man, with splendid judg-
ment and knowledge, with fine execu-
tive ability.
Mr.. Snelgrove has attended all Of
the road conventions and takes a deep
interest in everything that pertains to
work on the roads. At the road con-
gress in Columbia last winter he was
appointed on committee to con-
fer with committee from the
General Assembly looking to the
further development Of the road law
system.
Mr.. Snelgrove has labo-ed faithful
ly to give the people of Anderson
first class roads in every respect and
in this he has done his duties in every
particular. His work is known and
appreciated and he is deservedly pop
ular among a large circle of friends
and acquaintauces.

until the death Of the latter in 1860.
Col. Brown then came to Anderson
and formed Il co-partnership with Col.
4 P. Todd. and in October, 1868,
with Judge j. P. Reed, one of the
most successful lawyers of that day
and time. This firm lasted until 1874,
and Col. Brown was without Il part
ner until 1881, when he went in with
Hon. J. l.. Tribble. Subsequently

for several years, but now Col. Brown
