THE HUMAN EYE.

What wonderfully delicate piece of
mechanism is the human eye, how inf
nitely varying in it's manifold expressions
of love, hate, courage, jealousy, grief and
thousand other impulses Of the human
heart. What world of beauty, what an
immensity Of knowledge is opened up un-
to US by the beautiful and accurate pic
lures conveyed to the brain by this most
delicate organ and yet how we neglect
and abuse it. how thoughtlessly we over
work its slender muscles, its delicate
nerves and tender tissues. and what
price we often pay for our negligence.
When the sight begins to fail or some
congenital defect exists in the eye which
renders the vision imperfect, we seek the
the aid of glasses in order to overcome the
difficulty. The question naturally arises
where shall we produce the glasses whicl:
.s.i exactly overcome or neutralizs our
visual error. Before answering this
question kindly allow me to ask another.
Ii you had fine watch out Of order
would you take it to a blacksmith for the
needed repairs? If by accident your arm
became broken, would you take 1t to D
carpenter to have it done up in splinss'
a leading authority in opbthalmic science
says: We cannot too severely deprecato
the habit OF procuring GLASSES from ped
dlers. venders and novices. who have no
knowledge Whatever OF optics Many
eyes are injured and some permanently
ruined BY this haphazard practice.

EDITORS INTELLICENCEH: AS we sell

1t nothing amiss to give You few dots.

changed our place of abode. So it will

Piedmont Locals"
The crops through this section are
said to be the sorricst that has been
made in number of years. Cotton is
about one-fourth of a clop and corn
about one half There has not been q
good rain here since the 18th of May.
Hot, dry and dusty weather is the Or
der of the day.
The County chain gang is doing some
good and lasting work on the roads
near this place.
AS long as new mill building is i'll or
der we think that Piedmont should
have another. Will not some good, re-
sponsible man take the matter in hand
and work up another? We should also
have an ice factory and a roller -four
mill.
We venture the assertion that we
have the quietest and most orderly fac
tory town in the State. Sometimes a
fellow gets on little too much "chem
ically pure rat juice and gets little
disorderly, but his work is mostly on
the outer edge of town, for he has Il
dread of the turbid Salutla.
There has been quite Il lively time
about town during thcpastt two months,
but the country wlidsp have at last be-
gun picking the tieecy staple.
We noticed quite a number of Pei
zeritcs in town last Sunday.
Miss Corric Mitchell, of Trinity, is in
town visiting friends and relatives.
MIR. Robert Massey, of SiX-and
Twenty, has moved into town.
Messrs. Will Pickens and Will Stone
visited here Sunday. Some attraction
for the 1887 gents.
Mr.. James Massey visited the Five
Forks section Sunday.
Mrs. Charles Vandiver, of William
ston, and daughter, Miss Eva, visited
Mrs. George King last week.
The young folks have come in with
their "bows," so we will close till an
other time.
Best wishes for the lNTELLie;EN,'EE.

Deaths.

Mr.. Thomas Martin, another one OF
Anderson County's oldest native citi-
zens, mas passed into eternity. His
death occurred at bis home in the Five
Forks section last Saturday afternoon,
aged so years. Several years ago Mr.
Martin was thrown from his buggy by
his horse running away, and received
painful wound in his head. From this
wound he never fully recovered, and
.sfor several months he has been quite
feeble, gradually growing weaker until
death came to his relief. His wife pre-
eeded him to the grave about three
years ago. No children were born to
them, but an adopted son, Mr. Joseph
Martin, survives. Mr. Martin was a
most estinlable citizen and had the.
confidence and good will Of a wide
circle Of friends. He had long beena
devoted member of the Primitive Bap
tist denomination. His remains were
buried in the family burying ground
on. Sunday, Rev. Mr.. Adams officiating
at his funeral.
IS Mr.. William E. FAINT died at his
hoccc. at Townville on last Thursday,
August 81, after an illness of but five
days of fever Hewas the tiird son OF

thirty second year of hisage. On Sep
tember 25, 1892, he married Miss Theo-
dora, a daughter of Mr.. J. c. Speares,'
Of Townville, who, with three children,
survive him. He was an employee for
a year in one of the stores in this city
some years ago, but for the past ten
years he has had charge Of DIR. 6. +.
Smiths store at Townyille, and ran the
business with marked success. He had
the confidence Of the trading public,
and, indeed, Of all classes, in a very
high degree, and will be much missed.
Some twelve years ago he united with
| the Townville Baptist Church, and
grew steadily in the Christian graces
and in tile esteem Of his brethren, and
had been fur some time church clerk
and Sunday School Superintendent.
The remains were escorted to the
Church ON Friday afternoon by the
Masonic fraternity, and after an appro-
pirate discourse by the pastor, Rev. D.
Weston Hiott, in the presence OF an
unusually large gathering, were inter-
red ID the Baptist cemetery at Town

ritual Of the Order.

In last weeks Issue we noticed that
"Incognita" wanted to know whether
green sorghum cane was good as forage
Oh not. We can answer from expert
ence. If it is fed in Il proper manner
there is not Il particle OF danger in it.
Sorghum forage should not be fed to
stock until it is thoroughly headed, and
thenalways fedin smallquantities when
beginning to feed on it.
