TOWN AND COUNTY NEWS. T. D. KENNEDY, Local Editor. g PERSONAL. "We had the pleasure on Wednesday last of a call from Mr. D. A. P. Jordan, representative of the flourishing hardware establishment of William Bryce & Co., New York. He is a na? tive of Abbeville, and a thorough business man. Mr. T. F. Wesson, agent of the extensive grocery house of Moore, Jenkins & Co., New York, was also in town, advancing the inter? est of his house by procuring orders. SOCIETY ELECTION. At the last regular meeting of the Polytech? nic Society, held in their hall, on Wednosday evening, the 7th inst., the following officers were chosen to serve for the ensuing, quarter: John E. Breazoale, President. James L. Trible, Vice President. W. W. Keys, Secretary and Treasurer. This Society is now in a most prosperous condition, and is likely to receive many acces? sions to its ranks ere long. STABBING AFFRA Y. We learn that a stabbing affray of a serious nature occurred near the plantation of Mr. Stephen McCully, two or three miles west of this place, at about 9 o'clock on Tuesday night last, in which a Mr. John McGaha was severely cut in the bowels by a Mr. Howell. Both par? ties are young men, and had been to town Tuesday evening on apparently friendly terms. After indulging pretty freely in drink, they started for home.about 8 o'olock p. m., and had arrived in the vicinity of the above named place, when a difficulty arose. But few words passed, when Howell drew his knife and stabbed McGaha in the bowels just below the sternum, or breast bone, inflicting a dangerous wound of about three inches in length. Mc? Gaha was taken to the residence of Mr. J. S. McCully, and medical assistance summoned. Drs, Broyles, Scudday and Symmes went out about one o'clock on Wednesday morning, and with difficulty succeeded in sewing up the wound. Congestion of the bowels had set in before they arrived, and it is said that the young man McGaha is in a very critical condi? tion. SONS OF TEMPERANCE. On Saturday last a public installation of the officers elect of Broadaway Division, No. 77, Sons of Temperance, took place in Neal's Creek Church. The installation ceremonies were con? ducted in an imposing manner by Mr. John J. Baker, of Anderson Division, who acted as Deputy Grand Worthy Patriarch. After the officers were duly installed, addresses were then delivered by E. B. Murray, Esq., and Rev. W. H. King. Both of these gentlemen advocated the cause of temperance in eloquent terms, setting forth the many blessings and vast amount of good to be derived from strict fidelity to the rules of the order. Quite a num? ber of members from other Divisions were present, and the day passed off agreeably. On the same day the officers elect of Prospect Division, Sons of Temperance, were installed in New Prospect Church by Mr. G. F. Tolly, of Anderson Division, acting as Deputy G. W. P. Addresses were delivered on the occasion by Messrs. G. F. Tolly, James M. Sullivan and W. W. Keys, all of which were complimentary to the prosperity of the Division, and eloquent in behalf of the cause of temperance. A good? ly number of both sexes were present, and the affair was much enjoyed. BRIEF MENTION. Cotton remains steady at fifteen cents for mid? dlings. Very little offering. Tuesday last was a regular March day, and overcoats were in demand. The ladies have come out in the latest spring styles, and look charming. The clover patches around town are the most luxuriant that we have ever seen for the time of year, .and promise abundant yields. The many friends of the Rev. Robert King wilLbe glad to learn that he is improving, and will soon be restored to his fornier strength. We are requested by the Worthy Patriarch of Anderson -Division, No. 1, to state that there will be na meeting of that body on this (Thurs? day) evening. The Division will meet as usual on next Thursday evening. A protracted meeting in the Baptist Church has been in-progfess since Sunday last, with increasing interest. Rev. O. F. Gregory, of Charleston, has been preaching every night with unusual earnestness and power. We are glad to see that good, substantial work has been done on the street going in the direction of the Presbyterian Church. The sidewalk opposite the Ladies' Store has been raised, and isiiow in an excellent condition. One of the Town Marshals informs us that there is pne place in town where the civil rights law is strictly observe^, and no objections made; where the lion and the lamb can lay down together undisturbed in their repose. The.name of that place is the "Calaboose." Again have we been visited by copious show? ers, which have rendered the side-walks and roads in bad condition, and retarded the pro? gress of our farming community. Saturday and Sunday last were wet, sloppy, disagreea? ble days, and quite a storm passed over the town on Saturday night, which brought visionH of cyclones, tornadoes, etc., to our minds. We are sorry to announce the death of Mrs. Mary McCown, mother-in-law of our worthy townsman, Mr. Wm. McGukin, which sad event occurred at her residence, six miles south of this place, on Friday last from pneu? monia. Tne deceased was a most estimable lady, and during the long period of her life was ever a devoted and consistent Christian. She was in the 78th year of her age. We were shown on Tuesday last, Alfred Roden's Improved Cultivator, manufactured at Oxford, Ala. This Cultivator is different from any that we have ever seen. It has two beams to which can be attached different kinds of plows, and these can be regulated by iron braces, which connect the beams together, so as to suit the nature of the ground. One plow opens the furrow, while the other covers, thus doing the work of two single plows. Mr. R. G. Roberts, the agent, was in town, and sold to Mr. W. J. Hix the rights for the Coun? ties of Anderson and Oconee. Mr. C. A. Reed, the proprietor of the "Empo? rium of Fashion," situated in tho Wavorly building, has just received a largo and well selected Btock of ladies' dress goods, hats shoes, ribbons, etc., fresh from the fashionablo emporiums of the North, which he proposes to sell at the lowest figures. This extensive es? tablishment is under the superintendence of Mrs. J. B. McGee and Mrs. Sloan, both of whom are experienced in the business, and will take great pleasure in attending to tho wants of the ladies. Connected with the "Em rium" is the dress-making and millinery de? partment, where dresses of the most improved styles are made, and hats trimmed to suit the seasons. ATTEMPTED ESCAPE AND DEATH. On Tuesday, the 6th inst., as Charles Mur? ray, one of the prisoners convicted of grand larceny during the recent term of tho Court at this place, was on his way to the Penitentiary, in charge of Deputy Sheriff James H. McCon nell and Constable Alexander Campbell, ho j attempted to escape by jumping through the ; window of the car in which he was confined, when the train was near Littleton, and was in? stantly killed. This happened after dark, tho train being delayed on account of an accident which occurred near Greenwood. Murray was handcuffed to James Walker, ono of the pris? oners, and had a double chain locked around bis ankles. Soon after it became dark, ho asked Mr. McConnell to bring him a drink of water, and he immediately went to tho rear of the car to get the water, when Murray, taking advantage of his absence, (the window being up,) leaped up, and throwing his feet against Walker, forced his head and body through the window, breaking tho handcuffs and disloca? ting his shoulder by the violence of tho effort. He then fell head foremost to the ground be? neath, causing, as was afterwards supposed, instantaneous death. Mr. McConnell, hearing the noise caused by Murray getting through the window, called to Mr. Campbell to look to the prisoners, and came up immediately him? self, only to find that Murray had escaped. He then informed Mr. Breazeale, the conduc? tor, who kindly stopped the train, (which was running at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour,) and ran back to where Murray was sup? posed to have jumped off. Lights were pro cured, and every effort made to recapture Murray, (for he was supposed to be alive,) but with no effect. The officers then went on to Columbia and delivered the other three pris? oners, and came up the railroad on Wednesday mo rning to Littleton, where they ascertained that Murray had been found lying dead at tho bottom of a small trestle, a few miles further up. They then procured a hand-car, and with the assistance of the railroad hands, brought his body to Littleton, and when the train came along in the evening, from thence to Columbia. On Thursday morning an inquest was held over the remains of the unfortunate deceased by Coroner Coleman, and the verdict of the jury was "that the deceased, Charles Murray, came to his death by his own act, by jumping from the train on Tuesday evening, the 6th of April." After the iuquest, the body was con? veyed to the Penitentiary and turned over to the proper authorities. The Penitentiary offi? cials recognized Murray as being in their cus? tody before, under tho name of Charley White, and said that while there he worked at the har? ness trade. It is said that Charles Murray was only assumed, his right name being Daniel Reardy. He was originally from Mobile, Alabama, and was a painter by trade. Wo learn that his father, a Mr. P. T. Reardy, now lives in the city of Mobile, and is an honest and highly respectable man. Mr. Breazeale, the conductor on the above occasion, deserves much credit for the kindness and courtesy shown to Messrs. McConnell and Campbell in having the train put back, and in rendering other assistance to secure the prisoner. ANDERSON THEATRICAL COMPANY. According to announcement, this company performed in Masonic Hall on Thursday and Friday nights last, the interesting drama of "Ten Nights in a Bar Room," a mixture of the tragic and the comic. The spacious hall was well filled both nights with appreciative au? diences, who expressed themselves highly pleased with the play, which was rendered in a style superior even to that of the celobrated Wildman Troupe. Tho different characters .'ere admirably represented, and the serious parts of the play, which included tho various bar room scenes?the death-of the drunkard's child, the untimely deaths of tho fast young man and of tho bar-keeper, brought tears to the eyes of many of those present, who saw for the first time tho scenes incident to such places, and tho demoralizing influence which follows. The comic, which was represented in the character of Sample Swichel, and which came in at intervals between the tragic, was splendid, convulsing the audience with laugh? ter. The "Harmonia Club" were present, and furnished tho music for the occasion, which was rendered in a style equal to the orchestras of first-class troupes. Tnesong, "Father, dear father, come homo," was sung in touching, plaintive tones by little Annie Bleckley, who impersonated the drunkard's child. This was certainly one of the best performed dramatical entertainments we ever witnessed, and evinces the fact that the "Anderson Theatrical Com? pany" possesses talent of the first order. TO WN TAXES. We are indebted to Mr. James H. Bewley, the worthy and efficient Clerk of Council, for the following statement of Town taxes collect? ed under the old and new systems of 1874 and 1875: Amount of taxes collected on real estate, incomos and sales for tho year 1874, $2288 85 Am't. taxes collected for tho year 1875, according to tho ad valorem or new system,.$2168 20 Difference, - $120 65 There were some few delinquents for 1874. Under the old system taxes were levied on real ostate 30 cents on tho hundred, and on income? and sales 20 cents on the hundred, thus making a certain portion of the citizens pay the bulk of the taxes; but now, according to the now sys? tem of the present 3'ear, an ad valorem tax is levied and collected on real and personal prop? erty only, requiring each one to pay taxes ac? cording to the value of their property. Tho old system was special and burdensome to tho mercantile interests chiefly, and wo are glad to know that a better system has been enacted, which will give justice to all tax-payers. There still remains about eighty-three delinquents on the books for the present year. A SEVERE ACCIDENT. We are sorry to learn that Mr. Marion Kay, who lives about ten miles southeast of this place, met with a severe accident by being thrown from a wagon on Tuesday last Ho was coining to town in Mr. Alowine's wagon, accompanied by Mr. A. E. Reid, and had got? ten as far as Col. J. W. Norris', when tho horses became frightened at some cows in tho road, turned round and ran away. Mr. Reid jumped off on ono sido of the wagon without, receiving any injury, while Mr. Kay, who at? tempted to jump off on tho other side, was thrown violently to the ground by the sudden turn of tho horses, breaking his loft arm and right shoulder and othorwiso injuring him. He was conveyed to tho residence of Col. Nor? ris, where medical assistance was soon ob? tained, and the arm and shoulder sot. The i runaway horses were halted a short distance from the sceno of tho accident. Mr. Kay is a highly respectable citizen, and wo hopo that he may soon get well. A gentleman drove a sorrowful-looking horse into town last Saturday, and, stopping in front of the National Bank, ho requested a small boy to hold him a moment. "Hold 'im!" ex-, claimed the boy. "Just lean him against the j lamppost; that'll bold "im." ' HOME ENTERPRISE. We had the pleasure on Monday last of vis? iting the extensive carriage manufactory of Messrs. Reed it Stephens, on Main Street, and ?were shown through the various departments, in which we saw evidences of industry, enter? prise and skill in the manufacture of carriages, buggies and wagons, equal in point of work? manship ix> those of Northern cities. Since these gentlemen have come into possession, the premises have undergone many improvements, which add to the looks of the place, and to its business facilities. Besides the addition of an? other story to the main building, they have erected a handsome paling fence on ono side, and they anticipate building a large brick blacksmith shop at an early day. On the first! floor of the main building are the makers' and trimmers' departments, and up-stairs the fin? ishing department, where work of tho finest order, in the shape of'open and top bug-! gies. are on exhibition. Quite a number of | the best mechanics arc constantly employed, and all orders given the proprietors will bo promptly executed. They are also prepared to ropair all carriages, buggies, wagons, etc., that may be brought to them, and solicit the pat? ronage of their friends and the public.
