Any man who uses Il fertilizer made
for corn OF tobacco in the cultivation
Of cotton is in his OWL light. SO is the
man who uses q cotton fertilizer in the
cultivation Of wheat. So argue Messrs.
Dean g. Ratliffe in their new. special
adv. They claim to have a fertilizer
especially made for wheat culture, and
adapted to the needs of Anderson
County soil. Read what they say, if
you're o farmer.
At the next meeting of the Anderson
Bachelors Club charges will be pre-
ferred against several of the members
and they will probably be expelled
the Club. They are contemplating
matrimony, it is reported, which is q
violation of the first section of the by
laws. Among the accused are Presi-
dent F. T. White and Vice-President
G. w. Evans, who deny the charge. 1t
will be an interesting trial when the
Club meets, and some of the members
are in favor Of inviting the young la
dies to attend the meeting and using q
few of them rs witnesses in the trial.
Our tabulated statement last week Of
the primary election for Supervisor
was about correct. The four boxes that
had not been heard from when the IN
TELLIGENCER went to press finally
came in but did not change the result.
The total vote was, Vandiver 1893,
Bolt 1888, giving the former majority
Of 55. Both gentlemen have just cause
to be proud of their vote. Gov. Nc
Sweeney was Immediately notified of
the result and has issued q commission
to Maj. Vandiver, who will assume the
duties of the office rs soon as his bond
is approved.
Rev. @. J. Copeland has returned
from very pleasant trip to Northfeld,
Mass, where he has been attending
the Ministers Conference, under Rev.
Dwight L. Moody. He visited also q
number of points of scenic interest. In
conversation with him, he said that
New England thinks more kindly of
the South than formerly, and realizes
that this section is rapidly becoming
the commercial centre of the country.
They place us on notice, however, that
unless We are watchful their capital
will control our resources in the end.
Could we see ourselves as others see us,
it would from monicd serfdom free us.
Mr.. w. B. King, Anderson's giant
policeman, more familiarly known to
everybody in this section as big
King,'' attracts the attention of every
visitor to the city. Many parents in
the city frequently, in getting after
heirchildrcn for their mischicvousacts,
threaten to report them to big King"
and, of course, some of the little folks
are afraid of him. A few Sundays ago
in Sunday shool a teacher was asking
the little fellows in his class some Ques
tions, one OF which was "who was the
strongest manr One little fellow
quickly replied, big King" The
teacher, it is said, attracted the atten
tion of the whole school by his hearty,
loud laugh, and had to lay down his
catcchism.
The Columbia correspondent of the
.Ncrs and Courier, under date OF the
1st lnst., says: "In the Donald's Town
ship case, where a portion Of that
Township wanted to go to Anderson
County, OF, at least, so voted, the State
Board of Canvassers to-day decided
that the election Was held according to
law, and that the result was in favor OF
the territory going to oAnderson County.
1t is announced that an appeal will be
taken to the Supreme Court OF the
State. The main question seems to be
whether IN election could be held at a
precinct indicated by the Governor,
when there was no precinct for the
election in the territory which had been
established by the Act providing pre-
cincts for the various counties"
Editor Jaynes, Of the kcowec Courier,
has recently been on a trip to the noun
tains. Speaking of his stay at High
lands, n. c., he says: "Our host on this
occasion was Mr.. David Norton, who
has relatives in Walhalla and many
friends in Oconee. Here we had the
pleasure Of meeting Capt. John W.
Daniels, who was the honored and eff
cient Clerk CT Court of Anderson for
twenty years. On Sunday birthday
dinner was spread in honor Of his six
ty-sixth birthday andNlr. Norton's Six
ty-1ifth. This is the eighth time they
have thus celebrated their birthdays.
On the present occasion it happened
that the birthdays of two OF the guests
were also celebrated, viz: Mrs. A. NJ.
Brinsmade, of Great Darlington, Mass,
widow Of prominent Presbyterian
minister. who had attained her seven
tieth birthday, and Miss Elsie Thomp-
son, of Charleston, S. g., whose birth
day we felt q delicacy in inquiring, not
withstanding her extreme youth"
