The standard expressed in Hie follow? ing lines is the gauge by which all things intended for good Bhould be measured. It is not how much is done, but how is it done: - "One of the best things in the Gospel of Jesns is the stress it lavs on small things. It ascribes morn valuo to quality than quantity. It teaches that God does not ask how much we do, but how we do it." We invite a careful perusal of the new advertisment of McCully, Catbcart & Co.

If every man in Anderson County were to follow his example, it would tend to les? sen the cry of hard times. The Grand Lodge of the Knights of Honor convenes in Anderson this morn? ing. About eighty delegates are expected to be present A banquet will be given the visitors to-night by the Anderson Lodge at the University, and the young people of the city will have a dance at the same time and place. The members of the Anderson Lodge are requested to call on Mr. J. D. Maxwell for tickets of ad? mission to the banquet, and all the young people are invited to attend the dance The April number of the Cotton Plant is before us, and we find it full of valua? ble and interesting reading 'matter. The Cotton Plant is now published ;at Green? ville, and is the only agricultural jonrnal in the State. It has a number of well known agricultural writers as contribu? tors to its pages. It is an eight-page paper, and the subscription price is only sixty cents a year. Every farmer in the State should be a subscriber to it. Try it one year, and you will find that it is worth double the price. The advertisement of the New York Cash Store, which appears in this issue of the Intelligences, gives prices and de? scription of goods which must command the patronage of the people of Anderson and surrounding counties. Mr. Arnstein's offer of railroad tickets to persons within certain territory who purchase twenty-five dollars worth of goods, extends his area of trade .from the mountains to Augusta. Those who fail to come to Anderson and visit his immense establishment, will miss the opportunity of the season in the mat? ter of purchasing all kinds of dry groods. Anderson is, beyond doubt, now the best dry goods market in the upper portion of South Carolina. On last Friday evening a little negro boy was shot and killed on Mr. Holland Poore's plantation, about two miles north? east of Belton. Coroner Nance held an inquest over the body on Saturday morn? ing. The evidence before the j ury showed that the deceased and another negro boy (each of whom were eight years of age) were in a cabin together. A loaded gun had been left lying across a bed. and one of the boys climbed upon the bed to look for a piece of chalk, and while thus en? gaged the gun was fired, the whole load entering the other boy's right breast, kill? ing him instantly. This is, in substance, the boy's story of the shooting. He de? nied handling the gun, but the opinion is that he was playing with it, when it was accidentally discharged. The boy being too young to know the nature of an oath, the jury of inquest returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death by a gun j shot wound, inflicted by parties unknown y>lhem. Mr. M. B. Williams, the State Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association of Georgia, visited Anderson on lust Mon? day evening and conducted a meeting for the Anderson Association in the Presby? terian Church, which attracted a good au? dience of ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Wil? liams called upon the delegates to the State Convention in Newberry to giye an account of their impressions as to the work of the Convention, and Messrs. C. S. Sullivan, L. P. Smith, E. L. Clark, Ar *thur Arnold and C. C. Langs ton respond? ed in interesting talks to the meeting. Hon. H. G-. Scudd ay, State Secretary, gave an instructive account of the growth of the work in this State, after which Mr. Williams made an eloquent and strong plea for the work of the Association, and took up a collection amounting to about $150.00 for the renting and furnishing of a room for the Association in Anderson. The canvass for subscriptions will be con? tinued, and it is confidently expected to raise a sufficient sum to comfortably fur? nish and equip a room for the Association. On last Saturday afternoon Mr. F. M. Butler created quite a sensation on the Public Square by bringing his little dog on the streets without a muzzle with a pistol in his hand and defying any person to shoot the dog. He carried the. dog by Chief of Police Fant and invited him to shoot it. Mr. Fant asked Mr. Butler if he did not intend to get a muzzle, to which he replied: "No; shoot him if you want to." Mr. Fant again suggested that he had better get a muzzle or keep the dog off the streets, which Mr. Butler also de? clined, and persisted in the Invitation to ?hoot the dog if Mr. Fant wanted to do so. Mr. Fant thereupon told Mr. Butler that if Ms dog stayed on the street until he got his gun he would shoot it, as directed by.the City Ordinance, and went for his gun. As nsual at such times, a large crowd gathered to see the row, which did not come off. Mr. Bntler, seeing that his pistol in hand wonld not protect his dog, discreetly retired to Mr. Ernest Fant's billiard room, from which the dog was carried in a man's arms to his wagon and disappeared from the streets. The city authorities should put a atop to such per? formances as this upon the public streets. Open defiance of a City Ordinance should be punished or the Ordinance repealed. We presume Mr. Butler will be fined for bringing his dog on the street in defiance of the provisions of the Ordinance. Cross Boada ltemi. The farmers in this section have the greater portion of their crops planted. Corn is peeping up and will soon be ready for the first working. Wheat is looking well and promises an average yield. Mr. D. G. Bampy has the finest we have seen in this section. Fine stands of oats have* been obtained, but they are retarded in their growth on account of dry weather. Mr. J. C. Hamlin is giving his entire attention to his farm this year, and oan be seen almost every day busily engaged at work upon the same. He has some fine looking oats, and a model farm. Last Monday was an extremely windy day, making work in the open fields very disagreeable. Fire broke out on the farm of Mr. J. A. Emerson, and it required the united efforts of his neighbors to save his build? ings and outhouses from the greedy flames. The fire originated upon an ad? joining farm, and it seems that persons Bhould be held responsible for the careless handling of such a dangerous element on such days. Mr. E. C. Pruitt is building a noat and roomy storeroom at this place, and will soon commence the erection of a resi? dence which he will occupy as soon as it is completed. Mr. G. W. Long will also build several stores and dwellings to rent. Mr. Wm. Jones is building a two story residence on his farm near this place. When he finishes the same and moves in, he will be well situated to spend the bal? ance of his days in ease and comfort. Mr. J. J. Dodd, contractor and builder, is new located at this place with his ma? chinery, and is turning out some beauti? ful work. Mr. D. W. Bryan has been very ill from the effects of measles. His many friends wish him a speedy recovery. Mr. Lent Hall, an aged and highly respected citizen of our neighborhood, who has been afflicted for several years past, is now very low, and his chance for recoverydoubtful. Rev.W. H. King occupied the pulpit at this place last Sunday, and preached an interesting and instructive sermon. The whole congregation seemed to be very much edified by the many truths pre? sented in his short discourse and hope he may be permitted to meet with them again at this place in the service of the Master. Omega. Eureka Items. Eureka made one step forward on last Friday night. The young people have been talking for some time of organizing a reading club, but it only amounted to talk. But on the above named night they met at Col. L. E. Campbell's not to talk, but to act. And after some business-like conversation, they proceeded to organize the club by electing Mr. L. T. Shirley, President, Mr. H. M. Geer, Vice Presi? dent, and Miss Zella Campbell, Secretary. We heartily approve of the organization. As a rule our people do not read enough. There will be a social pic nie at W. A. Geer's Spring on Saturday, the 7th of May. The public are generally and cor? dially invited. This is an annual occa? sion, and is always highly enjoyed by those present. Mr. H. M, Geer does everything in his power to make those present happy. ? The Shite Convention of Die Y. M. C. -\. The Tenth Annual Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association of South Carolina convened in Newberry on last Thursday night, 14th inst. About twenty local Associations were represent? ed in the meeting, bringing together about ninety-threo delegates, and making the largest Convention ever assembled in the State. Newborry threw open her homes to the delegates, who werejmet at the depot upon their arrival by a committee and escorted to their respective quarters. The Ander? son delegation were assigned as follows: Mr. Scudday with Mr. Gilder; Messrs. Dunlap and Sullivan with Mr. J. F. Todd ; Mr. Clarke with Mr. Leavell; Mr. Ar? nold with Mrs. Fant; Mr. Smith and the writer with Mr. T. V. Wicker. Our host, who is one of Newberry's best and most substantial citizens, did everything in his power to make our stay pleasant, and he succeeded well, for we were never treated in a more hospitable manner. The other delegates also speak in high terms of their hosts. The Convention held its sessions in the Baptist Church, which had been kindly tendered for its use. On Thursday even? ing a welcome meeting was bold, at which Hon. G. B. Cromer, Mayor of Newberry, welcomed the delegates on the part of the citizens, Rev. C. P. Scott on the part of the Churches, Mr. G. S. Mower on the part of the Newberry Association, and Mr. S. T. Riser on the part of the College Association. Mr. Scudday responded on the part of the Convention. The Church was crowded to its utmost capacity, and the addresses were full of cheering words of welcome. The business sessions of the Convention opened on Friday morning at 9 o'clock, with Mr. H. G. Scudday, the 1st Vice President in the chair. A permanent or? ganization was perfected by electing the following officers: President, Prof. D. B. Johnson, of Columbia; 1st Vice-presi? dent, ?. K. Marshall, of Charleston; 2nd Vice-PreBident, A. H. Kohn, of Prosperi? ty ; Secretaries, L. W. Jones, of Newber? ry, and C. C. Langston; Press Correspon? dent, W. G. Harvey, jr., of Charleston. The various committees were then ap? pointed, and the Convention went to work in earnest, the delegates seeming determ? ined to make good use of every minute. A very interesting programme had been arranged by the State Executive Commit? tee, the topics for discussion embracing every feature of the legitimate work of the Associations. Our limited space pre? vents us from even attempting to give a synopsis of the business transacted or naming the numerous topics that were so ably discussed. As we listened to what was being done in other portions of the State for the improvement and welfare of f-oung men, we felt that Anderson was a ong ways in the rear. But we are glad to state that this will not be the case in the future, if the efforts that some of our young men are making now are properly encouraged by the good people of An? derson. The business of the Convention was dispatched with promptness, and the ut? most harmony prevailed throughout. The body was composed of earnest, intel? ligent young men, all of whom seemed determined to gain as much information as possible as to the best way in which to get young men interested in religious work and to bring them into the Church. The report of the State Secretary, Mr. Scudday, was very encouraging, indeed, and the future work of the Association in South Carolina has a very promising out? look. During ino- coming year the Secre? tary will as enabled to give a considers* ble portion* of his time to the work. Each session of the Convention was opened with devotional exercises, con? ducted by various delegates. There was a good attendance of the' people of the city at each session, and especially at night. The singing during the meeting was led by a portion of the Charleston Associa? tion choir, assisted by a quartette from the Columbia Association. The business was interspersed with selections from Gospel Hymns, and the singing was one of the most pleasant features of the meet? ing. The following Executive Committee was elected to serve the ensuing year. This Committee has general charge of the work in the State: D. B. Johnson. L. B. Haynes, T. S. Bryan, Jasper Miller, A, M. Boozer, J, H. Woodward, of Colum? bia ; E. K. Marsball, Jas. Dillingbam, A. F. Jamison, J. B. Adger, jr., of Charles? ton; W. H. Day, Florence; C. C. Langs ton. Anderson; A. H, Kohn, Prosperity; H. T. Purdy, Camden; George S. Mower, Newberry; J.B. Black, Bamberg. The Committee met and re-elected Mr. H. G. Scudday State Secretary. The presence of Mr. M. B. Williams, the State Secretary of the Y. M. 0. A. of Georgia, added much to the interest of the Convention. Mr. Williams has been en? gaged in Association work for a number of years, and is thoroughly posted in all its details. He made several very inter? esting addresses during the Convention, and every delegate, no doubt, gained much valuable information from him. The business of the Convention was concluded on Saturday night. On Sunday morning at an early hour a consecration meeting was held, and in the afternoon at 5 o'clock a meeting for men only was held in the Opera House, which was crowded with an interested audience. This meeting was conducted by Mr. M. B. Williams, who not only succeeded in converting a number of young men, but also succeeded in getting subscriptions to the amount of $1,500 for the purpose of erecting a Y. M. C. A. building in Newberry, Meetings were also held at the same hour at other places for boys and for women, both of which were largely attended. The farewell meeting was held on Sunday night, and thus closed one of the most interesting Conventions it was ever our pleasure to attend. We cannot close this article without saying something about the progressive town of Newberry, which is, as is well known, situated in a most fertile section of the State. The town is laid off very irregularly, and the streets are very nar? row, yet there is something peculiarly at? tractive about the place. The citzens are justly proud of the place, and are pos? sessed of a good deal of energy and pro gresslveness. The large steam cotton fac? tory which stands in the town, and which was built by home capital, attest to this fact. The business portion of the town is very compact. Newberry is one of the best markets in that section of the State, and controls a large trade. She has two excellent newspapers. Her people are very sociable, and no town in the State has prettier young ladies. Our visit was so pleasant that we will avail onrself of the first opportunity to go back again. Denver Items. In accordance with suggestion from your correspondent from Eureka I will state that prohibition is all right about here. Quite a majority, from all that can be gathered on the subject, are highly in favor of it. A prominent colored man near here, who is a land holder, has signed the petition for the election, and Bays be is going to work for and vote for prohibition. Prohibition is only a ques? tion of timo- The poet has it: "There's a time that is coming at last, 0. hasten the long-looked for day. When the rum fiend no shackles can cast, For all Christians will vote as they pray. "And the prison shall close every door, The poor houses tenantless stand, When the dram-shop shall darken no more The dear homes of our beautiful land. "When the Church and the State shall arise In the strength of their virtue and might, And Improve every moment that flies, In daring to vote for the right." Give us your hand, "Eureka," and let's have the prohibition bill just as it is, head, hoofs, hair, hide, all. The farmers are beginning to want rain to eome to hasten corn and cotton in com? ing up. Several of the most energetic and suc? cessful farmers about here are contesting for the premiums offered on cotton by the Geo. W. Scott Gosmypius Phospho Company, of Atlanta. If thorough pre Saration and liberal manuring are any in ication of a large yield, somebody will have to move lively or Denver will "get the cake." Late Friday evening, 15th inst., a wagon passed here with a coffin in it, Baid to con? tain the body of Andy Hillhouse, colored, who was reported to have been shot by some parties who attempted his arrest recently. The parties in charge of the wagon, upon being questioned, denied that he bad been shot at all, ana claimed he died from pneumonia and consumption. There are so many conflicting statements about it that it is hard to arrive at the facts in the case. The health of the community is good, the measles having missed this immedi? ate neighborhood. Miss Carrie Watklns' school at this place has been furnished new and comfor? table seats. Jay. To the Ladles. We invite you all to inspect our stock of Spring Goods. We have everything new and pretty. No matter what prices others give yon, see us before you buy. Respectfully, C F. Jonss & Co. 100 Men's and Boys' Hats thrown on our middle counters. Get one while they are cheap. C. F. Jones A Co. a Tito Shockley Apple. One day last week our good friend, Mr. S. Bleckley, presented us with a half dozen Shockley apples of his own raising, for which we return thanks. Mr. Bleck? ley seldom tills, wc believe, of keeping this apple all through the wintor and spring, which goes to prove that this variety is the best for this climate. What ho has done others can do, with proper care. Mr. Bleckley says : It is not for the purpose of getting my name in the paper that I hand you, on the 15th of April, these one-half dozen home raLicd Shockley apples, but it is that my fellow-citizens may know the name of the apple and see what our people in Ander? son County might do, if we would only try. S. Bleckley. Need of a Public Cemetery. Mr. Editok: Your Local Editor has repeatedly called attention in his columns, to the need of a public cemetery for the city of Anderson. There are now but two burying places in the city, the Presbyterian and the Bap? tist cemeteries, and both of the congrega? tions of the Presbyterian and Baptist Churches, I have been informed, have passed resolutions forbidding any to bury in said cemeteries, except families of members of the churches, or those who have grounds therein. This was a neces? sity, in order to reserve the grounds for the dead among the membership of the said churches. So it can be easily seen that a large part of our population will need some place to bury their dead, and consequently the necessity that some step be taken to procure grounds for a public cemetery. And besides this, a cemetery outside of the limiUi of the city would be better, in a sanitary view. It is time that some action should be taken looking to the accomplishment of this end. Who will move in the matter? B. Hopewell Items. Cotton planting is the order of the day. The bulk of the crop has been planted some forward patches coming up. Some up-land corn is ready to work, and the people are turning their attention to bottom lands. Mr. E. M. Duckworth has the finest field of wheat that we have seen. We have an interesting Sabbath School at Hopewell. Mr. W^ G. W. White has been confined to his bed with measles, but we are glad to know that be is improving, and hope he will be able to be with us soon. Mr. T?ren Newell is one of our stirring young farmers, and we are glad to say he is on the right side on the prohibition ques? tion. Prohibition is slowly but surely gaining ground in our section, and by next August a majority of our people, it is hoped, will be in favor of this wise aud all important measure. It has been ascertained by your correspondent that a larger proportion of young men are in favor of this measure than of the old of our section. How a man who is a member of the Church, a great worker in the Sunday School and has a family, can oppose prohibition is strange to us who favor this measure. Hope, Flat Sock Items. Capt. J. A. Gray, who has been con? fined to his room the greater part of the winter, is now able to walk over his farm. Mr. J. R. Armstrong is a model garden? er, and has the finest garden in this com? munity. Mr. Henderson Cooper's two children died from the effect of measles. On Monday morning we had a shower of rain which was accompanied with heavy wind, which continued the remain? der of the day, blowing down some fruit trees and fencing. The majority of the farmers are through planting cotton, and are waiting the ap? pearance of Gen. Green, when the long and toilsome battle will begin. Mr. J. W. Wright and wife, of Augusta, Ga., are in our midst visiting the former's parents and relativen. He sees many things that brighten his memory of child? hood days when at school, where he played leap-frog, town ball, <fec. Those were lively days, but, alas! they are gone. Never did a more generous and true heart beat within the breast of man than in Johnnie's. The school at this place is in a good working condition, all owing to the com? petency of the teacher, Mr. Todd is the right man in the right place. He is gain? ing the affection of both pupil aud patron. The sohools of this township will close the last day of this month. Quite a large congregation assembled at this place last second Sabbath. The Sun? day School was organized and Rev. H. M. Allen was elected Superintendent. He made a few approprate remarks, and ad? journed to meet next fourth Sabbath morning at half past 0 o'clock. The pas? tor then preached quite an interesting sermon on prohibition?said he had been requested to do so, and now he had ar? rived at that point, and as he began to fire off, the shot fell too thick and heavy for some of the anties. They could not stand, they retired. Flat. Lebanon Items. The most pleasant of all seasons has come again, and the vegetation is putting on its royal robe, which makes all nature to aeem more pleasant and cheerful. The tired and weary ones can now, at their leisure, Bit and gaze upon the beauties of natuie, and rest their weary minds and tired hands from the toils of life; praising God for the changes of nature, which are so conducive to the promotion of man's happiness in this life. The small grain crop is beginning to make the fields look green and promising. A few patches of wheat are looking very fine; being high enough to hide a rabbit. The oat crop is tolerably good, the spring sowing being a little better than the fall sowing, as a gen? eral thing. The farmers have been busy planting their cotton crop, but are now about done. Some, however, are just beginning. The dry weather of the past few weeks has enabled them to keep up with their work. While none are behind in their work at present, we fear some will get behind pretty soon; for the grass and weeds are coming on, and the corn will Boon be ready lor work. But the farmers around Lebanon are industrious and energetic; and we have no fears that they will get so deep in the grass but that they will be able to get out by the middle of summer. We understand that there are some arrangements being made to complete the new school house which has been begun at this place. We hope that talking about it will not be all that is done; for it has been standing uncovered long enough, we think. It ought to be finished by the first of June anyhow, so that Mr. Holland could have the use of it in giving his ex? hibition. It ought to be remembered that the patrons of the school agreed to finish the house for Mr. Holland's use during the present year. The school, though it is pretty full yet, is not bo full as it has been. All the teachers of this (Garvin) town? ship, that we have heard say anything about it, moan to attend the Teacher's Institute at Williamston this summer. We hope their anticipations may be realized, and that they may be greatly profited by their attendance. The Lebanon Sabbath School has recent? ly purchased a library containing sixty volumes. Those children that are hungry for literature will not now be compelled to overload their tender minds with worthless literature. Last year the school purchased a seventy-eight dollar Mason and Hamlin Organ, and it now enjoys the privilege of giving for mis? sions. About fifteen dollars nave been collected during the present year for mis? sionary purposes, besides all that raised for purchasing the library and other lit? erature for the school. Two or three prayer meetings are held in the neighborhood every week; one at the Church on Wednesday night, and one or two at ueighbors' houses sometime during the week. These meetings are always very well attended, which shows the earnestness manifested in tho work. On Sunday, the 17th Inst., the angel of death visited the family of Mr. Joe.
