| the directors OF the Orr Cotton Mills
we are pleased to note the name of Mr.
Calhoun Harris as book-keepcr. This
is quite nice and deserved compli-
mcnt to thoroughly competent and
worthy young gentleman, and we con-
gratulate alike the mill and Mr.. Harris
upon the happy selection.
Rain is very much needed every
where in this County, not only to cool
the hot atmosphere, but to revive the
growing crops. Everything is needing
rain. Corn and cotton are both suffer
ing, and if it does not come soon the
corn crop will be injured badly. The
rainfall in this County since the 18th of
April has been very light.
That man Minor, of the 10 cent Store,
is up to another one of his freaks. He
is now in the North visiting some of
the largest domestic factories and
attending to his direct importations Of
fine China and fancy holiday goods.
We have no doubt that Mr.. Minor will
scoop in large supply OF bargains for
his big new store before his return.
Our Mr.. Langston, accompanied by
his neice, Miss Norma Garrette, is
spending this week at the Harris Lithia
Springs attending the annual session
of the South Carolina Press Associa-
ton, of which he is Secretary. He de-
serves little rest and recreation, and
the entire INTELLIGENCER force wishes
him a pleasant sojourn at the Springs.

Mr.. r. NJ. Wheeler and wife returned
Wednesday from most pleasant visit
to friends and relatives in Anderson, S.
c. Mr.. Wheeler was greatly pleased
with what he saw in Anderson, both in
town and county. He saw the famous
electric plant on Seneca River which
supplies Anderson with light and sew
eral factories with power. The gener-
ating plant is ten miles from the city.

1t has gotten to be quite serious
matter and one that demands some
official attention hereckless, thought
less manner of handling fire arms in
the city. Especially is this true of
those who know best the real danger
of such carelessNcss from repeated dis
charges Of weapons, supposedly un-
loaded. 1t would be very poor joke
if some one should lose his life by such
rattle brain foolishness.
Monday night an alteration occurred
between Governor Tribble and Miss
Ola Wright, both of the colored per-
suasion, in which the feminine portion
of the association came into forcible
contact with brickbat in the region
Of the forehead. The point of attack
being six measured feet from the vital
portion of the body no serious damage
was done. Grecn-eyed jealousy was
the casus that bellied the trouble, if
VIC may rely on current, yet too often
erring, testimony. However, Mayor
Hood has kindly consented to arbitrate
the difference and fix the necessary
forfeit, upon the convenience of the
second best party mentioned. All ru-
mors will then be set at rest under
judicial investigation and all the facts
be known. Let us possess our souls in
patience and await the sitting OF the
investigating tribunal.
