Jas. M. White. of Keid's, spent last week with kinsmen ami friends iu aud arouad this plao-\ Mru. New ton Acker, of Ureenville, for the pant lew day*, has been with the lamily of Mr. K. W. Collier aud other friends. Mr. and Mrs. N. A. P. 1'eau, or Ureeuwoou, came up Monday, and until Saturday were with the family of Mr. H. A. Tennentand other relatives in our town. Mrs. Sarah Black, of Greenwood, came up last Monday and spent the week with kinsfolk here, Mrs. J. R. Blake, Jr.. of Abbeville, who has spent sometime at Asheville.N. C., on her return from that healthglving resort, slopped here for a day and night, tbea on to Latimer to spend a day or two with her mother, Mrs. Amanda Johnsou, Mrs. G. T. Harmon and Miss Maggie Har mon.of Greenville, came down Wednesday to spend a while with the family of the sonin-law of tbe first named. Rev. Peter Stokes. Miss Carrie Dantzler, of Orangeburg, and Miss Pearl Johnson, of Rldgeway, reached here the day after those mentioned above, and have since beeu stopping at tbe same place. Mr. Temple Llgon, of Anderdon, has also been for several days with bis kinsfolk, at the same home. It is no longer a much mooted question as to who "struck" Patterson. II the last week's issues of the papers ot the state are preserved, future generations will have a record for reference, as to tbat matter. The membership in part of the Baptist and Presbyterian Churches, met Friday upon their respective church grounds, and did some neoessary cleaning up. The last named cleaned |oif nicely their cemetery grounds. In travelling over the country it is a matter of great surprise to see, the neglected condition of these sacred spots. There are no doubt very few, if any, members of any of tbe oburcbes, so sordid in their feeling, so lost to ail sense of xbe eternal fitness of things, as not to want their houses of worship, well arranged comfortable and attractive, and yet, there are very many, wbo are sefcrnlugiy wnony inuurereui ?? ?? now mo silent houses of thtir loved ones look. This ought oot to be ho. Mr. Clement, Allen, of Washington, D. C., reached here Friday even lug to spend a month's vacation given him by the authorities at the Capital and as he comes to a mnoh cooler place than Is his home, be will doubtless have a more pleasaut time than to have remained where be was. Mrs. Martha Watson, of Anderson, has been with the family of her son-in-law, Mr. B. Berry Allen, for the past week. Miss Eula May Kay, started several days ago for Hendersonvilie. N C. She will remain there during the greater part, ir not all, of the heated term. Mr. Ernest Allen, Miss Meta and Miss Vera Allen, and Master Theron Allen, started for a mountain trip Wednesday. They went by the dirt road in a two horse wagon, being well provided wltb an abundance of the good things of life to secure their comfort and happiness. They will meet friends in Anderson County who will join them, and together they expect a joyful time. Magistrate J. G. Huckabee attended the singing convention at Sbllob Saturday. He reports quite a large attteudauce, aud that everything passed off pleasantly and profitably. and a few of our citizens attended the .State campaign meeting at Abbeville, on the same day, and they make a good report of the same. Prof. G. M. Moore, late of the Graded school at Anderson, C. H. came Saturday and has since been shaking hands with his many friends here. He has perfected arrangements to 6pend the next two years In Germany, that he may be equipped for his life work. On Wednesday last there was a reunion ol tbe 14th, Regiment of S. C. V. at Carswell in Anderson, Co. This writer in company witb Magistrate J. E. Huckabee attended it. By 10 oi 11 A. M., a very large crowd of women and children were in attendance. All or nearly of the people within a surrounding area of six or eight miles, were there. Then there had come many, from a distance of fifteen or twenty miles. A prominent figure and one who received much attention was the aged Mr. Martin Hall who lives quite near. He is 86 years of age, is an invalid, and was rolled to the grounds In bis wheeled chair by a committee of the old 14th. Several years ago be donated two acres of iand, to the survivors of above named regiment, to be used by them in holding such annual reunions, and when those to whom it was specially donated are all gone, then it reverts to the sons of those who once belonged to that regiment, upon which to bold they- reunions. The stand is a fixture remaining from year to year. Col. E. M. Rucker, of Anderson, and Col. J. H. Tillman, of Edgefield, entertained the crowd till 12 M. Then an Intermission of one and one half hours were given, that the crowd might, if it could, eat the great quantity of good things to leat, provided by tbe good ladles present. Every body so far as beard from was bountifully supplied. Tben Col. Sloan, of Columbia. Mr. J. A. Mooney, of Greenville, and Mr. J. E. Boggs appeared befr\wci tho rtrAm/l Thoon loot a ro nunHlrtotoc fr\r solicitor next two above candidates for Lieutenant Governor, aud first Legislature. Then came Col. Hoyt, candidate for Governor. AH of these speakers left politics out of their speeches entirely and to bear them no one would have supposed for a moment that they were perhaps itching to branch out along thai line, but they each uttered sentiments and iiruuKhi out ideas mort titling the occasion. Ab the Katlieriiii; took place several miles beyond the Andersou line, aw as several candidates, were there from tblH county, it might be concluded that they are expansionists. As the crowd was so very large, and might be supposed to be unweldly, and incontrolable, yet there was not the slightest act of disorder, either seen by or reported to this writer. Everything passed ori quietly and creditably to all present. Troupe. ROCKY RIVER. ? ? Campaign Meeting?Mad Dok Ncnre? Missooary and l'orlo Ktcan Boy? Personal aud Other IteniM. Lowndesville, Aug. 20,11KX?. mil j* jvcyn, ox uuruugiua, whs who me family of Mi. K. W. Harper for several days last, week. t Mr. Will Moore, who is in business in Athens, tia., and who bad spent sometime with kinsfolk In Greenwood, came up last Saturday was a week ago and spent a few days with the family of Dr. J. B. Moseley. Mr. J. E. Boggs, of Oconee, Biopped over here Monday on his way to the county campaign meeting, which took place at McCormlck the next day. There was a little mad dog scare here yesterday week ago. The night before some of our canine owners bad the peace oC their pets disturbed by a tight with some visiting dog, it could not be determined in the dark what sort or size. The next morning the same dog it was supposed returned, and as it showed symptoms of beim; tuad, it was killed. Mr. D. M. Lipscomb, of Ninety-Six, came up Monday and staved until Friday with his friend, Mr. It. H. Moseley. Miss Ludie Hill, of Greenwood, spent a part of last week with Miss Nellie Moseley and other friends. Mrs. Tom Hill, of Anderson, came down Tuesday, and for a few days was with relatives here. Mr. Whit Fortson, ol Klborton, Ua., came over Thursday. aDd remaiued lor several days with the lamily of Dr. A. J. Speer. Miss Mary Johnson, of Anderson, has been with relatives bere for tbe past week. Mr. Alex Glbert, of Granlteville, Secretary of tbe cotton mill, came up Thursday to enjoy a few days rest from bis labors. His fatally are spending the summer here, and lie will be with them for a few days Mr. G. W. Speer, of Monterey, made this year 71% bushels of oat* on one acre ol laud and liis brother. Dr. A. J. Speer made only twelve dozen of oats on five acres of good bottom land, tiulte a difference In yield. Miss Lillian McDavld was expected here Tuesday last, but failed to reach nere. As is known to tbe readers of the PresaandBanner, stie has been serving as a Missionary in Forto iilco for sometime. Not mauy days "ago she returned to tbe United States, bringing 'With lier a Porto Klcau boy about twelve years of age, who came to this country to be educated, and as the first step along that line, will soon enter the Preparatory School at Due West. Our Baptist friends have repainted their church here on the outside, and will very soon pumi lion nit' iiisiue. Od Friday last the county campaign meeting for this place came oil. It was conducted In due form and with proper decorum. The candidates declared It to be the bent attended of any one that has yet been held. A great many ol our good ladles from lar aud near lent to their presence thereby adding very much to the pleasures of the occasion. Dinner baskets and trunks were much in evidence, and they were well laden with viands which were very appetizing about 1 p. m., aud they well supplied a felt-want about that time. There was eoougb aud to spare after all were satisfied. Chairman I. H. McCalla introduced at Ida. m., as first speaker, Hon. A. C. Latimer, then came his opponent Dr. Wyclie, these two are candidates for Congress. Next came Capt. J. A. Mooney, of Greeuvllle, candidate for .Solicitor of this circuit. Each of the above made a good speech, one that was attentively listened to. Then came the candidates for the Legislature. Each one of them utilized the opportunity to present in the best light, their fitness lor the posltiou desired. Then Hon. W. N. Graydon, our present Senator who was present, was called on, and in his usual fluent, happy style, entertained the crowd for a short while. Then our ! present Sheriff", Alaj. K. W. It. Nance, was I called lorward nnd gave a few minutes talk along such lines as suited htm best. At the' proper time the trunks and baskets were opeucd, and theircontents were used as far as were needed In supplying the wants of the' inner man. The Ladies of the Methodist] Church utilized the occasion by having tables ! Kpreud conveniently near, upuu which were | spread solids, meats and bread, semi-solids, ice cream aDd cake, Ice lemonade and water. ] For these was charged a price to raise lands i for the benefit of their church. The amount so gathered in was about S40 which will aid I the ladles considerably in carrying out their i purposes. This comlUK together of the Lowndesville people enabled them to see, una snake by tbe; band, all of tbe candidates for tbe couuly I oflioes and also brought together several of t tbe old time Lowndesville boys, viz., Uapt. .las. i\I. White, of Reida. Messrs. Alex Gibert, of Graniteville, B. A DavJs, of Starr, G. W. Speer, of Monterey, and others whom we were glad to see again In our midst. Our municipal affairs seem to have gotten into a considerable tangle. Just alter the late election for council, It was discovered that It had been Illegally done. In that those who in thit election had voted, were not registered for this special election, and the matter was referred to the Govornor who perhaps not being fully apprised of all the faots in the case, ordered an election for the 23d, inst. Since then the matter being laid before tbe Attorney General, he decided that there bad not been a legal election here for couucll sluce 1S95. and as the law required a council to act till their successors were elected and qualified, tbe council that was elpcted then, muRt hold over till a new couucil is e ected In February next. So the matter will rest till then., Miss Ida and Miss Lois Watson, of Anderson. came down Thursday, and will remain sometime, with the family of their brotherin-law, Mr. B. Boliu Allen. Yesterday morning two negroes Miles and Parker, living on Mr. E. W. liarner's place, on Savannah Klver, got into a difficulty, and Miles struck l'acker with a mattock, and cut Into blm, then got his gun and shot him, shot one of bis eyes out, so that Parker is pretty badly used up, seriously hurt. Dr. T. O. Kirk pairiCK was cnucu iu auu iicaiou mo unor. The matter was compromised by Parker, the wounded man telilQfc Miles the wounder, if he would wait on him, and pay his doctors bill, that he would Dot prosecute bim. It is|very dry atid verv hot.
