Last Saturday was Il busy day, ami
ali over the city could be seen those
harbingers of good times coming-the
mountainecr and his wagon loaded with
cabbagcs and apples.

Ovcrman VanWyck, James Sullivan,
,Jr.. David Taylor, John Maxwell and

The many friends OF Mr.. Lawrence

of good treatment in his adopted home.

Lightning struck the residence of
Mr.. Oliver Bolt on Thursday last, but
fortunately no one was hurt. Consid-
cradle damage was done to the roofing.
At the same time Mr.. w. II. FriersOn
and Policeman Jimmie O'Donncll were
severely shocked by % bolt striking a
tree near them. on Jail street.
Mrs. II. d. Gardner and Miss Lillian
Murrah, who have taken quite IN eX-
tended and pleasant summer excursion
to points of interest in Massachusetts,
| New York, Pennsylvania and among
| the mountains Of western Virginia, re-
turned last Thursday. They also Wis
| tied the Northern markets to buy MIL
lincry.
During the thunderstorm OF last Fri
day evening Gus. Clements and one OF
his sons were struck by lightning and
| instantly killed. Another son was so
badly shocked that it is impossible for
him to recover. They were tenants on
the Wright place, near Honea Path,
and had taken refuge from the storm
| in cotton house, which was destroyed
by fire, caused by the lightning.
Surely there is no other city in the
South that has such q hcalthful climate
as Anderson. During the Summer
there have been only two cases OF fever
| in this city of more than 5000 inhabl-
tants. and both OF the cases have re-
| covered. Moreover, there was compar-
atiyely no other sicllpcss in the city.
Therefore, we have wonderful health
resort, and Skillful physicians to cure
whatever lnaladics Il person may have.
Here's our hand to Chief Dillingham;
and his able aides for long-nccdcd re-
forms along the line OF keeping side
walks clear and allowing the passen-
gers to alight from tic incoming trains
without having t. brush away Il dozen
or more nagging hackmcn. 1t is posi-
lively pleasure to walk around the
square now, even OH Saturday evenings,
and even IL lady can make her way
from the train at the dcp0ttO the wait
ing room.
Ii you want to hold your cotton for
higher prices, the fair and equitable
plan is to store it in some warehouse,
borrow the money Oh it and pay your
accounts, liens and notes. Then your
creditor cannot force you to sell your
crop at q figure unsatisfactory to your
self. Besides, it will be you, and not
your creditor, assuming the expense
and risk ofholding. This is the knock
down argument advanced by Mcssrs.
Dean & Ratlittc in their notice this
week, which see all who owe them on
any account.
After a careful examination of the
papers of each contestant for the benc-
licfary cadctship to the Citadel, the

alternate. Mr.. Giles is the fourth per-
son of the class of ten which finished
| the ninth grade ut the Graded School
| in 1898 to win Il scholarship by COM
| pctitiyc examination. This is very
significant OF the thorough work done
bv this school, and especially signlti-
cant of the careful training given by
