THE OLD STORY.
Spring, spring, the budding O. the year
Dear 10 the young and the old

His warehouse fronts dusty street
within the city's crowded heart.
Alas, the price Of every beat,
Here, foremost In exchange and mart
He sits alone, silent man.
Unloved: all fear his vigil keen.
His thought, the ledgcr's pnge 20 scan,
And spy near desk and door unseen.
And yet whene 'er the breath Of spring
Steals shyly In upon the breeze
His voice takes on n kindlier ring.
His crusty mien a touch Of ease.
The flower girl ventures through the place
Though he refuses To buy her wares:
The boys perceive an hour Of grace
And softly whistle on the stairs.
For half unwittingly he dreams:
A fancy, born mid orchards bloom,
Floats back upon the sunlight's CLEANS
And haunts the dingy. cobwebbed room
Il clings; he fain would drive away
The pleading wrath Of boyish years
Il fits; forlorn. he bids II stay,
This foolish thing Of smiles and tears!

There seems to be a new fashion OF
marrying in this section. Rev. a. T.
Dunlap met a couple in the road, tied the
knot then and there. and they went on
their way rejoicing.
We heard prominent gentleman re-
mark net long ago. that since the talk of
war, there was more sick and old men
than he had heard of for long time.

Resolred, That we, the Pfohibitionists
of Anderson County, in order to place
upon record our protest OF all legalized
forms of sale of spirituous liquors, hereby
.declars it is not our purpose to entagonizs
the Democratic party, but we purpose t.
act within the lines of the Democratic
sparty, and we call upon all Democrats
who are, in sympathy with this movement
TO vote in the Democratic primary for men
who have the moral courage to insist
upon the prohibition Of the manufacture
and sale of spurious liquors in our State.

Every body in this section seems cheer
full and happy.
We have had number Of cases OF
pneumonia, but only one death has oc-
Cured. All Of Mr.. Wiliamson's family
were afflicted with it, and one of his
daughters died Saturday. None of the
family were able to attend the funeral,
which took place Sunday. large con-
gregation was present. Rev. MIR. Stone
preached an excellent sermon. Mr.. Stone
is an eloquent, practical preacher, and is
highly esteemed by the Ashury congre-
CATION.
We hope soon to have comfortable
parsonage for the preacher near Asbury.
The wheat and oats look fine, and all
of Us have fine gardens.
There is considerable war talk in this
section. pathize with the Cubane,
but hope Gtod will settle the trouble with
out war.

Denver Items.

Aside from war talk, there is nothing
worthy OF note except it is the goings and
comings of some of our folks.
Mr. Albert Farmer and wife visited the
parents (Mr. w. S. Elrod) of the latter last
Saturday and Sunday.
Mr.. James Pruitt, father of our Mr..
Walter Pruitt OF Annie, S. c., was visit
ing his son at Mr.. T. R. Simpsons.
We are pleased to chronicle another quiet
home wedding at the residence of the
brides father, Mr.. Eugene Walker, of
lola, s. c., to Miss Hattie, daughter of
Mr.. r. M. Morris. The beautiful, SOL
emn, impressive ceremony was performed
by Rev. NJ MCGEE. Mr. Walker is
fortunate In securing for his life's COM
panion, one so beautiful and worthy as
Miss Hattie, and we part with her from
Oar immediate community with regret,
and commend her to those with whom
she may make her future home as one of
the purest. best ladies whom it has been
our pleasure to know.
We are very much troubled sbout the
prospect of war, not that fear of having to
put ourselves up as targets for Spanish
bullets, but mainly on account of the
demoralizing effect, war with Spain would
have on trade, especially On the export
and import trade. In the event that We
become in war with Spain, doubtless
she will put privateers on the seas to prey
on American commerce, consequently we
fear that those of us who indulge in coffee
will have to resort to rye, wheat, sweet
potatoes dried, okra and other substitutes
that we remember having used during
sour" war, or else pay fancy price for the
"real." And what about cotton? Will
not the expectation of cotton to Europe, as
well as cotton fabrics manufactured in the
South, be in measure stopped? We
cannot see any other result. Everybody
knows that only about one-third of the
sumed here. Stop the expectation and we
will have In the neighborhood of seven
millions surplus, aud virtually without a
market for that amount, and We think
that it requires very little foresight to
forecaste. the probable price next fall if
there is market at all for it. And it is
well-known that always during war time
everything to eat advances. And if so.
the man who has corn. meat, &c, to sell
will carry the money, and those who have
cotton will get to keep it. So we think.
But may be Spain will accede and that will
please "INcoa.

A Card From Sheriff Green.

MIR. EDITOR: 1 have been asked the
question several times, how much it cost
Anderson County to arrest Chris Harris.
For the information of some people who
think that had good time running all
over the North and seeing the sights OF
the world at the peoples expense, | will
lust say that up to date Anderson Coun-
ty has paid me enc dollar and sixty
Cents! 1 am the little fellow who has
paid for that music, and have no re-
crets about it OF course, [ have no
money to throw away, for the Sherif's
office IN this County don't pay near
what some people think it does. L have
only done what believed to be my duty
as SIN officer, and shall always try to do
the same, or get out of the way and let a
man in that can. have over two hum
dred dollars and lot of lost sleep and
and hard work in Harris, and no hope of
any ever being paid back to me, unless
our Commissioners get real good spell
on them and open their hearts some day
and hand me acheck for it, which think
doubtful. Respectfully,
NELSON +. GREEN,
Sheriff Anderson County.

The farmers are still hauling out and
putting in guano, and it seems as if they
are bent on planting more cotton than
ever this year. despite the low price.
The grain crop is looking promising
now, and ifit continues on there will be q
great deal of both oats and wheat made.
Rapid strides are now being taken to

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 1898.
Opening Day.

It has become the custom in our enter
prising business city for those stores
which carry large lines of ladies' spring
wear to exhibit, on a fxed day. in early
spring, the many beautiful and wonder
full articles belonging to this particular
branch of merchandise. and so fully es
tahlished is this custom that the people
expect it, and the merchants, looking up
on it as business necessity, and, per-
haps, one of the best means OF advertls-
ing, vie with each other in the beauty
and magnialcence of display. Nor is
their expense, energy and taste unre-
waried. Fair purchasers from all over
the county flock to the county metropo-
lis on '.opening Day." and feminine
grace and beauty throng these enterpris-
ing business houses the live-long day.
Last Thursday was "Opening Day"
and eclipsed all previous "Opening
Days. in magnifcence of display and the
number of fair visitors, Anderson had
the appearance of grand gala day. The
centers of attraction were the stores of G.
T.. Jones s. Co.. j. H. We'll G Co., and
Brown, Osborne & Co.
Ths display of G. F. Jones d; Co.. par
ticularly their millinery department.,
cannot be described by cold type and by
a man who knows not the names of the
wonderfully beautiful articles he beheld.
There were hats and bonnets ofall shapes
and lovely plumes and ribbons OF all
colors. In short, it was like entering
magnificent botanical garden the sur
roundings ofwhich were draped with the
richest, most beautiful and exquisitely
woven cloth.
The display of Brown, Osborne q Co.
was simply grand. Here no better taste
could have been displayed nor better
appreciation shown of the varied wants
sof tho gentler sex. The shelves of this
mammoth store is filed with lovely
fabrics of mills from all over the earth,
while their millinery department bears
evidence OF the most exquisite taste and
&carefnl selection.
j. II. WeiE & Co. is new firm in our
city, successors to R g. Hill, or the ALI
,ance Store, hut they are from the great
metropolis Of America, New York. and
their display evidenced the fact that
they are thoroughly posted in minutest
details in selecting and handling ladies'
spring weas. No dress fabrics better
suited to tho wants of our fair ladies
could have been displayed. Every
shace known to art can be found there,
while stylish hats and honnets with
tkei: accompanying trimmings and
plurnes, ribbons, flowers and grasses
were displayed in endless profusion.
Sweet music was rendered throughout
the day at all three OF the establishments,
aud the charming visitors seemed to en-
! joy tho occasion.
