Anderson Thompson, and during Cns wcol< ii has boon ibo sonne of pleasure to us lo hear aol a few of Oconee's citizens speak in high commendation of tho spirit shown by Mr. I (amillon. Il is a source of regret thal Col. Thompson has not boen at Ids ellice on the Court House Square to re ceive tho congratulations and good wishes of bis friends. Knowing bim as wo do, however, we do not hesi tate lo say for bim (bal be appre ciates fully the bind feeling that ex ists in the hearts of Oconeeans and South Carolinians for bini. Wo have often noted Hie smile of apprecia tion and pleasure that lights his countenance at a kind reference to or a good wish for him. Possibly no niau in South Carolina rei elves ' more Bitch sentiments, written and spoken, than does tho venerable Col. Thompson and certainly no Olio moro richly deserves them. We print below a kind word sent to us from a good friend at Seneca: Seneca, Mar? ii 7. -Md I tor Keowee Courier: Allow me lo subscribo my name to tho eulogy on Col. lt. A. Thompson, by Mr. Hamilton, with a hearty "amen." lie was a bosom friend of my fainer and uncle. Wm.

Nol tl few ba\<' learned this, and it is due to this fact thal numerous requests have been inado of Judge Mepimingcr to speak to tho public Ol' Oconeo upon timely subjects, and he has consented lo do so. Arrangements baie been made, for tho use of the Oourl Mouse to morrow (Thursday) oveiliug, when ai s.l"> o'clock, .Iudge Memminger will deliver au address, His sup. jcet will bo a broad one. "Retro spect ol' tho progress of (ho country, and tho Importance of administra tion ol' and adherence lo law as es sential to tho preservation, peace! and prosperity of tho people."

IL ls Intimated that tho lire was of incendiary origin, the paper having made many ene mies by tho stand lt has taken look ing to tho enforcement of law and order in Its com nun 1 ty.

The track ls being put in good condition, and If tho weat ho r is favorable a big crowd will attend and lend encouragement to the young athletos. Several couples from tho dancing set attended tho leap year dance In Walhalla last Friday night. Mrs. Martini Ramsay happened to a painful and serious accident last week hy falling on tho hack steps of her residence and crushing her knee. She was alone at the Hmo of the ac cident, and was not able to move until help arrived several hours af terwards. She was removed to the residence of her son, who lived near, and received a physician's attention. Her friends hope to hoar of her steady improvement, and complete restoration lo health. Majoi ti. F. Sloan suffered a fall last Friday nigh! in .coin;; up the stair steps in bis residence here. While he was rendered very uncom fortable by the fall, his condition was not at any lime serious, and we hope .0011 to see him in the full enjoy ment of his usual good health. Mrs. W. S. Hunter and Miss Car rie Hunter spent several days In At lant;1, last week. The Once-a-Wook Club held a very delightful meeting with M r.s. Luke Vernor last Thursday. Tho meeting was lo have boen held with Mrs. .1. T. Ilolleinan, but on account of her absence from homo Mrs. Vernor ask ed for t he meeting. Miss Sue Gigntlliat was at home to a schu l number of her friends last Thursday evening, and tho occasion proved a delightful one Indeod. ' (lames were played, and at tho close a tempt lng and attractive luncheon was served. : Miss Helen Brackett, of Clemson, will visit Miss Verna Striming on Thursday. The Gossipers have been reorgan ized with Mrs. (?. W. Hallenger as president and Miss Mary dalia Reid as secretary. Tills generally means I wedding bells, which bil of informa tion is given merely to prepare tho friends of the Gossipers for the in evitable, which generally means a succession of showers. Practically no gardening has been done in Seneca on account of contin ued rains. Mrs .1. F.. Runion spent Monday shopping in Greenville.

The choral class of the Seneca High School ls doing good work practicing under the (dib ?(Mit leadership ol' Miss Latia Ballenger. The class will ap , ear again al the next public meeting of the literary society, which event will be keenly anticipated by their friends. Practice? oil the operetta "Pnsqul to," which will be given hy local tal ent for the bcnedl of the band, ls going on satisfactorily, and will be the occasion of a real treat for Sen eca people, who will bc glad of an op portunity to contribute to a benefit for so popular an institution. In the intrusi?n ol' a third and out side party upon ibo family tilt be tween Richland, Bounty Hand and Seneca correspondents to Tb.. Cou rier, WC are reminded of nu occasion when a man and bis wile were hav ing a bunt and a neighbor interfered. Result: Thc man and wife turned in and gave Ibo neighbor what he de served, ?i sound thrashing. Now we are willing to quarrel as mindi as wc please among ourselves, but outsiders must ho hands-off or brook serious consequences! If Richland's fertile soil produces garden sage, broomsnge i ' i and tho kind of sage that goes in sausage, why not a Harton sage? There's no "dog-in-the-manger" self ishness about this correspondent from Seneca. If Seneca cannot fur nish a sage, we are willing that Oco noe do. even if tho honor be claimed h.v a Richland suburbanite. Bul for downright genius that nnoymous skit from Richland takes tho cake! The preliminary debate between six young ladies of tho high school drew a packed house last Friday night. The subject." Resolved. That the United Stales should have woman suffrage." was splendidly contested, and the replies were particularly good. Tho judges, who were Revs. Greer of Westminster, Kirkpatrick of Seneca, and Prof. Calhoun of Clemson, gave Ibo question to the af firmative', and decided OU Misses Ijiev. H ra nt. Louise Lawrence and Maka Harper as Ibo three best debaters, and Ikey will con tesl for the Dovlo medal al the (dose of school. The preliminary debate for the boys will be held soon, when three ot thom will also be selected for tho final debate. The music program for Friday even ing was excellent. Including several numbers given by tho band. Rev. Mr. Greer rendered the judges' de lusion, which was done in a very hap py manner. Repels Attack of Death.
