GAN Honor to Whom Honor is Due. f"

Mr. Editor: In your paper of June
attn noticed an article on "What An
derson has accomplished in the last
twelve years." The writer said in his
article that in 1880 Mr.. j. A. Brock or
ganized the Anderson Cotton Mills. and
to him more honor is due for the pros
porous advancement of Anderson than
any other man. "All honor to whom
honor is dne'-hat would beg leave
to correct an error the writer has fallen
INTO when he states that J. A. Brock
organized tho "Andcrson Cotton
Mills
In 1880 Messrs. Sylvester Blcckley
and j. j. Fretwell went to work with
energy and zeal to awake the people up
to the Importance of cotton mill in
their midst, and with much perscver-
ance and insistency they solicited CO.
operation among the town people to
have a large barbecue, (Which was held
i'll Bleckley's large brick ware housc)
to bring the people together and get
them interested i'll this great enter
prise, and on this occasion they raised
sufficient amount, (mostly from the
farmers) as the town people looked
upon it as an experimental scheme and
would not materializc, rs several at
tempts had been made before and
failed, unti! the firm Of Sylvester
Bleckley Co. took the matter up, and
on this one day OF the barbecue raised
the amount and pushed their project
through.
Mr.. Bleckley was solicited to become
the president Of his undertaking, as he
was the largest stockholder in the
mill, but declined on account of his
large mercantile business claiming his
undivided attention and also on &c.
count of his declining health. He sug.
gested his friend. MIR. Brock. for the
presidency, thereby interesting him il

In Memoriam.

William B. Smith was born in An
derson County, s. c., August 4, 1914.
When small boy his parents moved
into the Brushy Creek section, not far
from Shiloh Church, and it was there
that he grew to young manhood. He
did not oDjoy educational advantages
equal to those of to-day, but he did not
neglect such as were offered him. He
was scarcely grown when the civil war
broke out. When South Carolina call
ed upon her sons to defend home and
native land, he responded to tho call
of duty. He was faithful Confeder-
ate soldier, and served his country
dutifully through that trying struggle.
AT the close of the war he returned
home and, with his characteristic en-
crgy, went to work again. He was
possessed of q strong constitution and
good business judgment, and these
natural gifts served him we'll in his eff
forts. By industry and economy he
succeeded in acquiring good farm
and comfortable home. He endeav-
ored to provide we'll for his family, and
to give to his children better advanta-
ges than had been given to him.
On February 1, 1866, he married Miss
Anna Cartee, who for thirty-s years
was his true and devoted helpmeet.
She still survives him, together with
nine children.
Mr.. Smith was man Of strong re-
ligious convictions. The aim and ef-
fort of his life seemed to be to dis
charge bis duty towards Gcd and man.
For many years he had been member
of Trinity NJ. E. Church, South. He
was regular in attendance at Church
and Sunday School, and was ever
ready and willing to undertake any
work that he was able to perform. He
sought to live the religion which he
professed, both in his home and among
his neighbOrs. Ho seemed to try hon
estly to know what his duty was, and
to do what he understood to be the
right. He believed in experimental re-
ligion, and delighted in talking of his
Christian experience. In his last sick-
ness he spoke freely and confidently of
his trust in our Saviour. end of the
Fathers goodness toward him. He
seemed to realize that his end was near
and often expressed his readiness to de-
part.
For several months before his death
he had been in failing health. At times
he was hopeful Of recovery, but his de-
cline was steady all the while. During
the last week OF life his strength failed
rapidly, Kind hands minietered to
him, and loved ones anxi0usly watch
ed over him till the end came. He
passed away on May 10, 1902, in the
fifty. eighth year of his age. The fu-
neral services were held in Trinity
Church, and were conducted by his
pastor. the writer. His body rests in
the churchyard till the resurrection
morning. "Apd whosoever liveth and
believeth in Me shall never die"

er was the question OF his destlna'
ton settled than he began to pre-
figure the place and it's probable
lacks and havings. This process
brought him by easy gradations to
pleasant idealizings of Miss Farm
ham, who was, thus far, the only
thing tangible connected with the
destination dream. Whereupon her
personality laid hold upon him and
the idealizings became purely lit
erary.
Spy Jove! but she is magnificent
ly strong type" he unused, lying fiat
on his back and staring absently at
the fittering shadows among the
deck beams overhead. "Her face is
as readable as only the face OF
woman instinctively good and pure
in heart can be. Any man who can
put her between the covers of a
book may put anything else he
pleases in it and snap his fingers at
the world. If I am going to live
in the same town with her l ought
to lot her down in words before l

preston"
He considered it for moment,
and then got up and went in quest of
a pencil and scrap of paper. The
DOING night clerk gave him both,
with sleepy malediction thrown in;
and he went back to his engine-room
and scrubbed his word-picture by
the light of the swinging lantern,
thus:

He read it over thoughtfully when
it was finished, changing word here
and a phrase there with a crafts
mans fidelity to the exactnesses.
Then he shook his head regretfully
and tore the scrap of paper into tiny
squares, scattering them upon the
brown Hood surglng past the engine
room gangway.

CHAPTER V. CONTINUED.

mated stateroom he so far forgot
himself as to read the card tackled
upon it: charlotte Farnham, Wa
haska, Minnesota"
THANK YOU" said musical voice

put it inside?"
Griswold turned as one smitten,
and was not without embarrassment
at having been caught reading the
tag. But when he saw the owner Of
the voice, CONSERVATION slew shame
and he was prompted to make wild
dash for liberty. For Miss Farnham
was no other than the young wom-
an to whom he had given place at
the teller's window in the Bayou
bank.
She saw his confusion, OWNED the
first cause of it and smiled. Then
he met her gaze fairly and became
sane again when he made sure that
she did not recognize him-became
sane, and snatched off his cap ano
dragged the trunk into the state
room; after which he went to his
place with great thankfuiness
throbbing in his heart and an in
choate resolve shaping itself in his
brain.
Late that night, when the Belle
Julie was well on her way to the
northward, he flung himself down
upon the freight on the engine-room
guard to snatch little rest between
landings, and the resolve became
sufficiently cosmic to formulate itself
in words.
"I'll call it an oracle,"h said.

CHAPTER VII.

In yielding to the impulse of the
moment which prompted him to Dor
row the identity of John Gavitt, Girls
void was not without some forecast
ings of the event. He knew that tho
river steamers were manned by pick
up crews assembled at the last mo-
ment, and reasoned that the officers
of the Belle Julie" would not yet
have had time to individualize the
members of the crew.
But apart from this, he was not
unwilling to add another chapter to
his experience among the toilers; and
as to this, he Immediately found him
self in fair way to acquire the Gov
eted need of It. From the hour of
his enlistment, it was heaped upon
him unstintingly. Without having
specialized himself in any way to the
bullying chief mate, he fancied he
was made to bear the brunt OF the
mans wrath. Curses, tongue-lash-
ings without mercy; contumely and
abuse, with now and then at the
night landings, when no passengers
were looking on, blows.
All these buffetings, or at least
his share Of them, Griswold endured
as became a man who had volun-
tarily put himself in the way of such
things. And. fortunately. he was not
hopelessly unequal to the physical
trial. Physically, as intellectually,
the material in him was of the fine
grained sort in which quality counts
for more than quantity None the
less, the first night with its uncount-
ed plantation landings, tried him
sorely, and he was thankful When
the second day brought fewer stop
ping-places and more time for rest.

rals that he bad been sent aft To

readjust the tackle of the suspended
yawl. He had come upon Miss Farm
ham and her aunt Unexpectedly. and
so was of his guard: and he made
sure the young woman had recog-
nized him. If so. what would she
do? He recalled his written sum-
mary of her character. and decided
that she would be sexless and just
before she would be womanly and
merciful. At least he hoped she
would. Ideals are much too pre-
cious TO be shattered by mere con-
siderations of personal safety.
But while he theOrized upon the
probabilities, he was fully alive to
the necessity for prompt action. IL
Miss Farnham had discovered him,
she would doubtless lose no time in
giving the alarm. She might even
now be in conference with the cap
tain, he thought.
At this he had his first shock of
genuine terror. Up to that moment
he had suffered none of the pains of
the hunted fugitive; but now he
knew that he had fairly entered the
gates of the outlaws inferno; that
he should never again know what IT
was to be wholly free from the ter
ror of the arrow that fiieth by day.
The force of the Scriptural smile
came to him with startling emphasis,
bringing on a return of the prickling
paralysis of fear; but he shook 1T
OF and ran aft to rummage under
the cargo for his precious bundle.
For the whistle was sounding for
landing, and it was high time that
he was afoot and fleeing. But when
his hand reached the place where the
bundle should have been, the blood
surged to his brain and set up
clamorous DINING in his ears. The
niche under the coffee sacks was
empty.

Charlotte Farnham's friends were
wont to say of her that she was as
sensible as she was beautiful. She
was, as Griswold had guessed, of New

migrated for the health of the wife,
but the migration had been post
poned too long. The mother died in
