Corner Creeks Latest Shiftings.

During the past week our farmers have
been busy with their farm work, such as
pulling fodder and working with their
sorghum cane and other work which is
very important. But at this writing we
are having some very inclement weather,
which prevents our working. Cotton is
opening, and as soon as the weather
clears up cotton pickers will be ready for
work.
A delightful lawn party was given at
the home of Mrs. Sallie Pearman last
Friday night and most enjoyable time
was had by the many who were present.
The health of our people, we are glad to
note, is very good, as there is only one
case of sickness, and that is Mrs. Mary
Bigby, and her recovery is very doubt
full.
A certain young man from over about
Mt. Bethel was in our midst Su nday
afternoon looking for his girl who has
been visiting here; but, alas, she had
returned, SO he only stayed few mo-
ments. "Did you ever get left. G-?"
Mr.. ]. N. Shirley, one Of Corner Creeks
industrious and progressive farmers, is
erecting large ten-stall barn, which will
add much to his premises. Every farmer
should have good barn to store away
his roughness in, such as Mr.. Shirley
will have when completed.
Melvin j. Ashley has just completed
neat and commodious Clubhouse in which
which he will place two gins. He will
alec place suction for the convenience of
his customer
Before these items are in print the pri-
mary election will have been held and the
tale told-some glad and some sad. Yes,
we viii. feel sorry, indeed, for those de-
feated ones; but we can't cry for laughing,
as the voters put the men of their choice
in Office and "what's what"
Messrs. o. Z. and J. B. Gassaway are
very busy mashing up the sorghum cane
of this section into some as fine syrup as
can be produced from the cane.
Miss Orabelle Stone, very pretty and
lovely young lady of Crayton, visited
relatives in our midst last week.
Mr.. Will. Burton and wife, of Bethel
section, visited Mr. and Mrs. L. A. shir-
ley Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Mcconnell, of Eagle
Grove, Co., spent few days here last
week with the latter's parents.
| Miss Leila Gassaway, accompanied by
her brother Sam, visited relatives in
Laurens County last Saturday and Sum
day.
Mr l.. A. Morris, was the first one ofour
farmers to get out bale Of new cotton.
He sold his first at Honea Path last Fri
day
William n Davis has proud step and
happy smile nowadays-cause, another
boy at his house.
Messrs. J. M. Hanks and J. A. Darby
have purchased new buggies recently.
The McAdams school, which has been
successfully taught for the past two
months, closes next Friday. Sept. 9Th.

Mr.. EDITOR: When the article "Prohi-
bition VS.. Dispensary," printed in this is
sue, was written for publication tbere
had been no election, but since that tune
the combined vote for the Dispensary
and High License candidates makes it
perfectly plain to my mind that the peo-
pie want liquor sold, ope way or the
other. If that is the voice Of the people,
then I bow to the will of the majority,

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. Z, 1898.
Black Diamond.

Mr.. EDITOR: The only apology have
for writing in the interest of the Black
Diamond Railroad again is the interest
I feel in the work and its Importance to
this section of South Carolina, and the
benefits that will accrue to our people.
The building of this road means the cir
iculstion of at least four millions ofdol-
lars of foreign capital in its cons truction.
Is not this q consideration in itself to JUS
tify the people in taking hold of the
enterprise? 1t is proposed there will6e
2s4 miles Of track in this State. At $4,000
per mile four millions Of dollars in rail-
road property will be added to our taxa
bic values and that would be, at least,
s.. 500 annually in county and State taxes
for Anderson; and yet there are people
who seem to be opposed to the road.
Again: Statistics show that there are
S2s,476 men employed by railroads in
this country and their wages and salaries
aggregate $4e5, ,6O1, ,5sl. or nearly $50 for
each man engaged. This money is all
put into circulation in the sections
through which these roads run. believe
+ am safe in saying the Black Diamond
road would give employ yment annually to
800 men in South Carolina at sn average
price of $500 each which would put into
circulation s4OO, 900 annually
If the city of Anderson consumed only
!; the amount of coal now used, more
thar IS 900 per annum will be saved in
freights alone to our people on this one
item, il the road is built. And yet some
of our people prefer to pay the present
rates to existing lines that take all our
money to build up other places, to our
prejudice.
lam not expecting much help in this
enterprise from old men, because their
work is practically ended, and SO far as
their individual intsrests are concerned
it WIN not benefit them a great deal. Men
who have reached q certain stage in life
become so conservative they take no
{ stock in schemes that require time for
development. But the young men-men
Of action, men of business ] do expect to
give me their united support Whatever
benefits that are to accrue from the COM
pletfon OF tkis road will be- In their inn

her prestige as g cotton market and 9
trade cenfre in the Piedmont bait she
! must have better railroad facilities. Her
merchants win have to quitswapping dol-
lars In order to meet prices at more
favored points on our present railroad
connections. The time is near at hand
when better railroad facilities and rates
win be absolutely necessary, or many OF
our young men win have to seek other
places for business.
The future of Anderson County and
the City Of: Anderson does not rest in the
h,.nds OF the old men. but in the hands OF
the young men. If they are faithful to
their opportunity in the great tidal wave
of prosperity and commercial activity
now gathering, there is no fear Of the re-
suit; but If they sit idly by until this
wave sweeps over the coontry, they will
be only like the fool who vainly locks
his stable door after his horse is stolen.

After each name was read the long roll

pretty service and song deposited flowers

Rock of Ages" Maj. Jones spoke with
much feeling of his old colonel during the
war. Samuel ]. Lewis. whom he described
as a typical American soldier and ci1izen

which the colored bugler, Henry Tonney,
sounded taps and lights out for the dead
