She was struck on the back, and the current separated and passed down both hind legs, as there was a small streak of singed hair down both legs. Her udder was also burned. Mr. Russell says he was iu his dining room, and the shock was so great that a portion of the plastering on the walls of that room was knocked oil". A Good Meeting. Bei/ton, S. C, Aug. 7, 1890. Mb. Editor : A series of meetings of more than a week's duration at Dorches? ter Church closed last Sunday evening, the 3rd inst. Rev. Geo. M. Rogers, the Sastor, was assisted by Rev. Robert mith (recently from Gainesville, Ga.,) who preached alternately for a few days and nights, when the former had to leave to fill an appointment in another one of his Churches, leaving the meeting in the hands of Bro. Smith, who carried it on with the same earnestness that it com? menced with. Worn, but not complaiu ing, he preached day and night, with such power that Church members were made to stop, think and ask, am I a Christian ? The back-slider was made to repent and come back to the Church and confess his faults- Old men, with stubborn wills were made to bow the knee, and ask, what must I do to be saved ? Yes, we had a glorious meeting, and the Church much revived with an addition of eight to their number. At the close of the service Bro. Smith was the recipient of a valuable purse, presented to him by the Church and congregation as a token of thoir appreciation for his services, and the love they entertain for him as a ser? vant of God. Wo would be glad that Georgia would sparo us a low more such ministers oa Bro. Smith and Bro. Hawkins. Yours, Ac, A. R. C. A New City C'ouneel. ' The Democratic primary election for the nomination of a Mayor and six Aldermen for the city of Anderson took place lust Thiirsday. There was very little interest manifested in the election and consequent? ly a small voto was polled. There were two tickets in the.held for Aldermen, but there was no opposition to Mr. Tolly as a candidate for Mayor, and out of the 241 votes polled he received 237. The follow? ing gentlemen were nominated for Alder? men: Dr. A. C. Strickland, Maj. P. K. McCully, Messrs. J. R. Vandiver, A. G. Means and C. C. Langston. The election was held Mondaj', and the aboye tfntlcmen were elected without opposition. Mayor To;ly and the new Aldermen were sworn into office Tuesday morning, and at once look charge of the affairs of Mio city. The Mayor announced the Chairmen of the several Committees, as follows: Sanitary, Dr. A. C. Strickland; Cemetery, C. C. Langston ; Finance, J. R. Vandiver; Fire Department, A. G. Means: Streets, B. F. Moss; Water Works and Electric Liglrts, P. K. McCully; Ordinan? ces, J. R. Vaudiver. Three Aldermen constitute each of these committees, and they will be announced at the next meet? ing of tho Council, which will be held this (Thursday) evening, when the elec? tion of Clerk and Treasurer and policemen will bo held. There are quite a number of applicants for these positions. Mayor Tolly has served the city before in the same capacity, and his administra? tions were wise and conservative. He has a good Council to back him, and we believe they will continue to advance the interests of our growing city with all the energy possible, and administer its affairs wisely, economically and carefully. Tbe retiring Mayor and Aldermen have discharged their duties faithfully, and have done much to keep Anderson on the upward march. To their successors they turn over about $2900. Good Hope church Centennial. It was our good fortune to be numbered among the 1500 persons who attended the Ceuteunial -celebration of Good Hope Prosby terian Church in Corner Township, last Saturday. This sacred spot, in the years long passed, was well-known throughout upper Carolina, for it was there the Presbyterians would assem? ble in their annual camp meetings, and many an happy hour has been spent there! Of conrse, in the large crowd present there were but few who could remember those happy days, but many of tho large assem? bly had often heard their parents and grand parents speak of those days, and ever since it was first determined to cele? brate the Centennial anniversary they had looked forward to the occasion with the mcst pleasant anticipations. The day was a mo3t beautiful one, and at an early hour the crowd began to assem? ble at the Chuicb, which stands on a pret? ty knoll surrounded almost by native for? ests. On the South side is the cemetery, in which sleeps some of tbe first settlers of that section, - The Church building is a substantial structure, painted white, and seating nearly 800 people. Ry 11 o'clock every seat was occupied, and about one-half of those present had to remain outside. The choir was composed of about thirty persons, and was led by Prof. M. L. Willis, with Miss Lena Johnson at the organ. It was com? posed of some of the best voices in that section, and the singing throughout was most excellent. The services opened by the choir singing tho Doxology, followed with prayer by Rev. Calvin Pressley. The choir sang a beautiful anthem, and then the pastor of the Church, Rev. R. C. Ligon, delivered the address of welcome, which was brief, but very appropriate. He referred to the many changes that had taken place during the past century, and said we now pause to give thanks to God for his many bless? ings during that time. Tho founders of this Church bad long since gone to their eternal bomes, but many of their descen? dant "a t re present to day, and it gave him great pleasure to greet them and their friends and to extend all a cordial welcome. The 84th Psalm was read by Rev. D. W. Humphreys, and the congregation sang a hymn. Tbon came the Centennial ser? mon, which was preached by Rev. J. L. McLiu. of Chester-, who was born and reared in tho Corner Township, and who is one of tho three ministers given to the service of the Lord by Good Hope Church. Mr. McLiu announced as his text a part of tbe 18th verse of the lGth Chapter of Matthew: "Upon this rock I will build my Church; and the gates of bell shall not prevail against it." He said this passage of Scripture was somewhat famous, and as the words were addressed to Peter the Romanists claim that their's is the ouly true Church. He proved the fallacy of such a claim by referring to nu morous portions of the Bible, all of which be briefly commented upon, making a very interesting introduction to his ser? mon. He then argued that the words of the text presented two features of the foundation of the Church: its divinity and security. He defined the visible and invisible Church. He said tbe visible Church was on a substantial foundation, Jesus Christ, and could not be destroyed. Tbe Church was secure because it is sus? tained by divine power. He spoke of the opposition, persecution, etc., of tbe Church, but she had withstood all, and alluded to how she had been protected under the old and the new dispensations. He closed with some appropriate remarks to the members of Good Hope Church, and urged them to enter tbe service of God with renewed zeal, energy and love. It was a most interesting discourse throughout. The historical sketch of the Church was read by Rev. R. H. Reid, of Spartanburg. Mr. Reid waB born and reared near the Church, and, by way of an introduction, said be had never ceasod to love tho old place and its surroundings, and would always feol an interest in her welfare. He said that in 1783 a party of Scotch Irish people settled un Generostee Creek, and in less than six years they had an or? ganized Church and a house of worship. Thore was no record as to who organized the Church, but it was probably done by Rev. Robert McLin, of Abbeville. The first pastor was Rev. John Simpson, of whom he gave an interesting sketch. He then named the other ministers who had served the Church, and gave a brief biog? raphy of each. He also named the first elders, among whom were Isaac Steele, John Young, Nathan Lurks and Wm. Beaty. The first house of worship, which was built of logs, stood two miles West of the present site for two years. The pres? ent building was dedicated in 185G. The first Campmeeting was held in 1822, and continued annunlly until 1831, when the meetings were discontinued. Mr. Reid also gave an interesting biography of Rev. David Humphreys, who served the Church for more than forty years. This sketch throughout was exceedingly inter? esting. At the conclusion of Mr. Reid's sketch, an intermission of one hour was granted, during which dinner was enjoyed. The afternoon servico opened with a very sweet anthem by the choir, followed with prayer by Rev. H. McLees. Rev. D. W. Humphreys, of Florida, then ad? dressed tbe crowd. He said be thanked God for being able to be present and par? ticipate in the exercises. He alluded to the pleasant memories of the past, and of the many absent ones who have moved to other States and of the many loved ones who have been laid awajr in tbe tomb. Ho spoke of the faith of our fathers, and the many ways we have all departed from that faith. He spoke of the desecration of the Sabbath, of the unscriptural means of raising money in the Church, and of the' singing and music in many of the large city churches. Mr. Humphreys was fol? lowed by Rev. D. E. Frierson, D. D., who deliyered a short but interesting address, which concluded the service of the day. On Sunday another large crowd was present. The morning sermon was preached by Rev- R. H. Reid, after which the Sacrament of the Lord's Snppor wa3 administered. In the afternoon Kev. J. H. McLin preached. We learn that the congregations of Rob? erta and Good Hope Churches will proba? bly unite and have the Ceutonuial ser? mons and historical sketches of both Churches published in pamphlet form. We think this a good idea, for tho pum- j phlets would be read with interest by j many who aro not members of either Church. A Correction. . Townvillu, S. C, Aug. 0,1890. Mb. Editor: In your editorial notice of my address of welcome at the Robert's Centennial, you quote me wrongfully in giving the ages of certain members of the Church. These were my words: "To give an apt illustration of the age of this Church there are amongst the members some quite aged persons, to wit: Miss Jane McLees, born in 1805, at time of her birth Roberts was 15 years old, Bro. James McLees, born in 1808, at time of his birth Roberts was 18 years old," &c. From tho above you will see I only gave the year of their birth, and not their ages atoll. Will thank you to publish this note, which will be a sufficient correc? tion. Very truly yours, T. O. Lioox. Notice. Wo arc agents for the Hall Cotton Gin Company.

It was tanght by Prof. R. Poore, and Miss Em? ma Meridy, of Pelzor was the organist. Mr. Moore, of Georgia, has been visiting in-tbis section and singing with the class. I don't know whether there wore any "matrimonial matches" made up during the singing, but if there were not, there must bo somebody disappointed. Mr. H. Mahaflby has sold several bush ols of corn this summer, and has. still more for sale. He always makes his own supplies. We have a little friend who goes to the river a fishing very often, but I think ho fishes mostly on dry land. Politics is on the mend. Candidates may just come on. We seem to have can? didates for different objects, some for State offices, some for County offices and some for tho money, but the moat of them seem to be candidates for matri? mony?that seems to be the ring of Cedar Grove. The protracted meeting at Dorchester has closed. It was conducted by Rev. G. M. Rogers, assisted by Rev. R. H. Smith. Eight joined the Church. The protracted meeting at Beaverdam was one of great interest. It was con? ducted by the Pastor, assisted by Rev. Mr. Sanders. The protracted meeting commenced here the 7th inst. The Pastor was assisted by Rev. R. H. Smith. Rev. Franklin Garrett, of Laurens County, is visiting relatives near here. " Baldhead. Craytonvllle Items. Our pastor is ably assisted in the pro? tracted meeting, which commenced last Sunday at Mt. Bethel, by Revs. Allen, Hawkins and Gassaway, A great deal of interest is being manifested, and we trust that a vast amount of good may be ac? complished thereby. We have an abundance of rain now. When it first commenced we wero afraid it would quit too soon, but now we are afraid it will not quit soon enough. It is natural for the farmers to feel uneasy, but the farmers seem to have more doubts and fears than every other class together. We were without rain five weeks. Early corn and cotton are injured considerably, but prospects for an'average yield are very good yet. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Clinkscales, of Brad? ley, S. C, who spent several days visiting relatives in this community, have return? ed home. Mr. and Mrs. Will Bruce, of Townville, have been visiting in this community. Mr. Newton Mitchell, of Seneca, S. C, is in this section for the purpose of securing a portion of this valuable land. We hope he will succeed and locate among us. Our community is always ready to give place to such a family as Mr. Mitchell. The patrons of Bethany School have se? cured Mr. Lewis McHaffy, of Boleman, S. C, to teach a ton-months-school. He opens with a large roll, and the patrons are pleased with the outset. We expect some weddings in Mohawk during the approaching season, but we want to keep every thing a profund secret Cne of our popular young bachelors is erecting a nice residence, and we have every reason?but, hush! this is one of those profounders. Cbate. Five Fork's Items. Mr. James Wilson, having become reli? giously insane, was conveyed to the Luna? tic Aslyum Monday. It is the moat sor? rowful event that has occurred in our section for many years. The general boalth of tho Kingdom is good. Crops are looking fine, rain in abundance and the outlook is really flat? tering. Visiting is the order of the day, and everybody and his family is visiting somebody else and family. The young folks are having an enjoyable time. Some ten or a dozen of them visited the Man? sion this afternoon. Come again, young folks, a big welcome awaits your every visit. Mrs. Matilda Harris, from the Belton section, is visiting her friends and relations in the Kingdom. She is at present the gue3tofO. W.Casey. Mrs. Harris has passed her three-score-and-ten mile stone in life, still she is the picture of health, sound both in body and mind, and in quite cheerful spirits. May her useful life be prolonged many years hence. Miss Corrie Harris and Miss Delia Cobb have spent several days in our midst the past week. I think one of these young ladies has made a decided impression on one of our young bachelors, and he will never sew on another button or try his hand on chicken and dumpling any more. Our young friend Ben. Smith, who, it seems, had made preparations for a trip to Texas, has suddenly abandoned the idea. Just on the eve of starting he went to bid his "best gal" good by and to obtain that sweetest of all promisos. But, alas! she declined to make it until he returned, whereupon Ben. unpacked and says he will have the promise before he goes, or he will never see Texas. Cheer up, Ben., it is only a scheme of the young lady to prevent you from going altogether. Shanks. Holland's Store Items. The Association at Cross Roads last week was largely attended and most har? monious thronghout. The introductory sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Haw? kins, a young minister of much promise. The good people of the Church and sur? rounding country certainly deserve credit for the manner in which they entertained the delegates and visitors present. The Candidates were out in full force and, we think, put in pretty good time. We notice the Convention ou the 4th ult. endorsed D. K. Norris for Congress. While we haven't anything to say detri? mental to Col. Norris, we would be glad to see the Democrats of Anderson County cast their votes for Hon. E. B. Murray. Mr. Murray's record stands untarnished, his ability is unquestioued, aud it is our opinion'that the person that falls to sup? port him is standing iu his own light. The rains have been bountiful in this section for the past week. Crops of all kinds are doing well. The potato crop promises to bo exceptionally fine. Some of our people are topping their cotton. It's a mooted question whether it pays or not, depending entirely on the weather that follows. Dr. R. G. Witherspoon received a tele? gram a few days ago from his father's family in Florida, conveying the news of the illness of hia mother. He at once boarded the traiu, but before reaching his father's home the sad intelligence came that she was dead. Tho Doctor has many friends in this community who deeply sympathize with his family in their be? reavement. Roy. W. H. King preached a good ser? mon at Shiloh last Friday night. The meeting still continues, conducted by the pastor and Rev. E. R. Goss, of Elbert County, Ga. The congregations are at? tentive, and seem to be interested. We trust that a revival of genuine religion will be the result. Miss Nettie Shearer, of Rock Mills, vis? ited relatives in this vicinity. Miss Decca Buchanan, a charming young lady of Fairfield, S. C, is visiting Miss Dec! Earle. We hope her visit may be a pleasant one. Your printer made us make several mis? takes in our last little batch of items. However, we don't consider it a hanging crime. We will try to write plainer in fcbe future, so as not to give you trouble. The health of our community is very good at present. Burke. Rock Mills Itoms. We have had for some time past a shower of rain and a shower of sunshine, and the crops are at their very best. We have suffered very little in this section for rain, and if the seasons continue favorably we will make and exceeding good harvest. The cotton has an abundance of grown bolls on it. When the rain came it did not shed any. Corn is doing well and fod? der pulling is in order. We heard a gentleman say the other day that he saw several open bolls of cotton on Mr. C. H. Skelton's lartn. Messrs. Earle and Cooley have some of the finest crops in this section. We have not had the pleasure of seeing their crops, but we were told by one who has inspected it. They have eighty-five acres of corn and eleven acres of cotton in the bottoms on the Savannah River that is just excel? lent, and whoever beats them will take the cake. Their upland is also good, consider? ing their five weeks drouth. Prof. Watkins, of Honea Path, came through here last week looking after the interest of his school. Mr. L. C. Brauyon, a young gentleman of the Honea Path section, was with us at the Centennial and spent last week with one of his schoolmates, Mr. J. L. Jones. He returned home last Friday, accompa? nied by J. L. Jones. Rev. A. C. Walker, of North Greenville Circuit, is in this community, spending some of his labors here. He says that he has traveled over a large portion ,of the up country, aud nowhere has he seen as good crops as we have- We simply "take the cake." A basket campraeeting is being con? ducted at Providence. The pastor is as? sisted by Rev. Charles Smith, of Anderson, A. C. Walker, of North Greenville, and J. N. Wright, of West Anderson. Quite a large crowd attended on Sunday. A goodly number of ladies and gentle? men went to the Association at Starr. They express themselves much pleased with the occasion. Several also went to tho Centennial at Good Hope on Saturday. The kerosene oil can continues to do its deadly work. An accidental burning on Tuesday, tbe 5th, caused the death of a 'colored child named Mary Parks. It hap? pened somewhat in this way: The father and mother of the child wont to preaching on Tuesday evening and left three little children at home. The oldest was eleven years- When dark came on tbe child made an attempt to kindle a fire to make a light. She put some kindling over some coals that lay in the fire place, then got the kerosene can and began to pour the oil on. One of the other children said some? thing to her and she looked around to see what was the matter, and while she was standing thus the fire blazed up and run? ning back to the can caused an explosion. The child's clothes were burned off of her. She ran and got in a tub of water, then to bed, and the skin stuck to the cover, leav? ing large, raw places. On Wednesday the child talked as if nothing was the matter. She seemed to be unconscious of what she said. She died Wednesday evening. On Sunday, two days before, a visitor was there and kindled a fire that way, and hence the child trying to imitate caused its death. This should teach others to use the kerosene can more carefully, and es? pecially when in the presence of children, for you may be teaching them a lessen which may 3ome day cost them their life.

He is a lively boy, and his friends always appreciate his visits.. All young ladies who desire to attend the school will find a quiet repose with Mrs. Watkins who will see after their interest with a motherly affection. Is there any reason for people to argue on^the streets the same thing from day to day, from week to week, the same old thing with no new points to bring out, probably letting theit mothers, sisters or wives cut Btovewood, draw water, or tie cows, or even feed horses ? We await an answer. Buggies, wagons and carts continue to roll out. New goods are arriving every day. We are expecting a large trade this fall. Some time ago we received an order from the Supervisor of Registration of Abbeville County to present to tbe Super? visor of Anderson for a registration certifi? cate. This we forwarded to Anderson with a self addressed stamped envelop, but can get no explanation in no way, shape or form. We nave had people to in? quire personally why we cannot get it, with still no explanation. We would like for some one to tell why we are not entitled to register. Church Dedication. Piedmont, S.
