AT Q special meeting of the Citv
Council last Friday q petition. signal
Dy majority OF the freeholders OF the
Guy. was presented asking that an
eloctlon be ordered on the Guestion nf
issuing bonds for the purpose of sstab-
usnln& a sewerage system in Ander-
son. The Council granted the request
u Inc petitioners and fixed Friday,
tion: 1t is estimated that the cost of
guGtlng IN the sewerage will be about
$4,000. At present the proposed ava
tenn IS the general topic of cOnyersa-
ton among the citizens of Anderson,
and considerable opposition is beinn
developed against it. Some of this on.
position, we believe, is caused by few
exaggerated reports in circulation as
to the cost. ETC., and general misun-
derstanding as to the facts and details
In connection with the system. The
authorities should, before the dav OF
election, acquaint the people with ali
the information possible in referen ZEE
to the question.
1t ls our sad duty this week to chron-
icle the death of another one of Ander-
son COunty's Oldest and most upright
citizens, Kelsie C: Mccoy, who died at
his home in Broadway Township last
wednesday afternoon. He had been
IN feeble health fer about six months,
his farm until few hours preceding
his DEATH. when he was stricken down
with paralysis. which ushered him into
eternity. Mr.. Mccoy lacked q few
days OF being 80 years of age. and was
born, reared and always resided on the
same ferm where he died. The house
which his parents first erected on the
Plantation more than one hundred
years ago is still standing. When
South Carolina called for volunteers
in the civil war he was emong the frat
TO respond, and enrolled as a private
