STABBING AFFRAY.
On last Saturday night a stabbing affray
occurred near the residence of Mr. R. L.
Campbell, in which a man named George
Morgan was dangerously, if not fatally,
stabbed. The wounded man, Milton
Gambrell, K. L. Campbell and perhaps
some others were at Mr. Campbell's
honte, and there was no unkind feeling
whatever manifested during the evening.
At about ten o'clock Messrs. Morgan and
Gambrell left the house. Some distance
from the house Mr. James Erskine sa w
two men. on the road engaged in a diffi?
culty in which one seemed to be stabbing
the other, as he saw the glittering of
steel in the moon light He with others
went tc; the place and found Morgan upc n
the ground stabbed in the throat and
temple. The next day a knife with blood
upon itjwas found in-the field on the side
of the road where the difficulty occurred,
and the wounded man charges that Mil ?
ton Gambrell did the stabbing. It is but
just to Mr. Gambrell to state that he
denies all knowledge of the affair. At
last accounts the wounded man was alive ,
though it was not expected that he could
recover.
CAROLINA COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE.
The socond term of the scholastic yea;:
in this institution begins on Monday
next, 17th inst. President Ligon will
v continue to occupy the responsible posi?
tion for which bis attainments and expe?
rience so eminently qualify him, and his
assistants this year will add fresh reputa?
tion to. the institution over which he pre?
sides! Upon the reorganization of the
faculty, we are pleased to announce the
fact that Mrs. C. R. Murray has become
connected with the Institute, and its
friends and patrons will congratulate
themselves that her services have been
secured. Her experience and qual?
ifications as a teacher are too well known
in this community to need any comment.
Mrs. Margaret Van Wyck has also re?
sumed her place as an instructor in the
Institute; Mrs. Bo rstel will preside again
over the music department, and Prof.
Laughlin will give his entire time and
attention in the literary department.
This makes the faculty larger and more
complete than in any previous year, and
it only-remains for the friend* of educa?
tion in our midst to discharge their duty,
in order to sustain the efforts of Prof.
Ligon towards elevating and advancing
the standard and prospects of the Insti
. tute. \
DEATH OF MB. JOSEPH PllEVC ST.
We are pained to announce the death
of Mr. Joseph Prevost, which occurred
quite suddenly on last Sabbath night
from neuralgia .of the heart. Ha bad
been in his usual health until within a
few days of his death, though he was not
confined to his bed nor threatened with
any serious sickness until after he retired
on the night of his death. Mr. Prevost
was an influential and highly respected
citizen of our town, and one of the most
systematic and successful planters of our
County. He was one of the few persons
in our midst who have united the theo?
retical and practical in agriculture with
marked success. He was in his seven?
tieth year, having attained the age of
sixty-nine on the 3rd day of October
last
.Mr. Prevost was a native of Charleston
and resided in that city up to the year
1862, at which time he was driven from
the home of his nativity by the misfor?
tunes of the Confederate arms, by which
large numbers of the Charlestonians
were compelled to leave their homes to
seek refuge in the interior of our State
from the invading forces of tlu> North,
which threatened destruction to their
city. Mr. Prevost settled iu Anderson
County at that time, and remained a citi?
zen in our midst up to the time of his
death. He was a kind-hearted and pub?
lic-spirited gentleman, who had made
many friends in his new home.
His remains were interred in the Pres-,
bytorian Church yard on last Monday
afternoon, tho funoral ceremony being
conducted by Rev. H. T. Gregory, of tho
Episcopal Church.
A NEW YEAR FESTIVAL.
On Saturday, the 1st inst, which was
New Year's Day, Mr. B. F. Crayton,
with the kindness and consideration for
which he is noted, gave a holiday festival
to the German families upon his planta?
tion. All the German immigrants in the
County were invited, and quite a num?
ber of them were present. They seemed
to enjoy themselves exceedingly much,
and spent the greater portion of the day,
from the morning up to 12 o'clock at
night, in dancing. It is quite entertain?
ing to see ti e pleasure this amusement
iffords them. They dance only round
dances and all, from the oldest to very
-mall children, enter into this amuse?
ment with smiling faces and inexhausti?
ble energy. They really love it, and
display a powerful endurance of violent
exercise which is far above that of Amer?
icans. Mr. Crayton did everything in
his power to afford them pleasure and
amusement Tho furnishing of an abun?
dance of lager beer was highly apprecia?
ted, and served to enliven them during
the whole entertainment Probably a
hundred and fifty or more of our citizens
from different parts of the County were
present during the day, and very few
escaped being compelled to try the dance
for a few moments, at leost There woro
about forty immigrants upon Mr. Cray
ton's place and some thirty-five from j
other plantations in the County, making
about seventy-five in all. Everything
passed off pleasantly, and the best of
order and kind feeling prevailed through
tho entire day.
This is the way our citizens should
treat their immigrant laborers if they
wish to make them happy, contented
and prosperous. Mr. Crayton's success
in the use of immigrant labor is due to
the tact with which he manages them,
and tho consideration he always mani?
fests in their behalf. They are all devo?
ted to him and their labor is satisfactory
and remunerative. Other persons by a
similar course towards them can be
equally as successful. They appreciate
kindness and persons who treat tbem
well soon gain their confidence and good
will. We are glad to know that persons
who have secured immigrants through
Mr. Crayton are well pleased with them,
and we would urge our people to do all
that is in their power to assist in build?
ing up our country by bringing out di?
rect from Germany, whenever thoy can
afford to do so, immigrants in as large
numbers as may be needed.
DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION.
The citizens of the following townships
meet at the times stated below to organ?
ize Democratic Clubs:
Sandy Springs precinct meets on Satur?
day, tho 15th inst.; Garvin Township at
Bishop's Branch, Fork Township at N.
0. Farmer's Store, on Saturday, the 22nd
instant; Broadaway Township at Neal's
Creek Church, Varennes Township at
Flat Rock Church, Dark Corner Town?
ship at Sherard's Store, Pendleton Town?
ship at Pendleton, Rock Mills Township
at Williford'8 Store, on Saturday, the
29th instant.
We hope the meetings will be well at?
tended, and that the other townships will
send notice of their timo of meeting at
once. Let all organize, and each Club j
elect two delegates to meet in County
Convention whenever called.
BRIEF MENTION.
If you have a favor to ask of an editor,
don't forget to shut the door after you
when entering his office
Have any of tho ladies recollected that
this is leap year ? Several timid youths
in this vicinity are anxious to know.
It is stated by weather observers that
the lato spell of spring-like weather is
similar to that usually experienced every
seventeen years, and that the same char?
acter of weather prevailed in 1859.
The Piedmont Factory will be in oper?
ation two weeks hence, and it is proposed
to have a grand pic nie in honor of the
event. Col. Hammett has pushed thiB
great enterprise amid many difficulties
in the financial world, and deserves im?
mense credit for his able management.
Charles Sullivan, the man who mur?
dered J. Newton Cox at Greenville in
October last, was arrested in Spartanburg
on last Saturday by Capt. Alley, who
conveyed his prisoner to the Greenville
I jail. Sullivan is a desperate character,
and was engaged in stealing a horse when
he was arrested.
On Saturday afternoon Mr. Calhoun
Clinkscales met with an unfortunate ac?
cident by which he lost his life. While
driving in his buggy on his way home
from Belton, he lost his hat and in an
effort to catch it, fell out of the buggy in
such a way as to pull his horse back so
as to step on his stomach, thereby inflict?
ing a wound from which he died at about
10 o'clock on Saturday night at the resi?
dence of his father, Mr. Reuben Clink
scales.
In the most primitive days it was re?
cognized as a truth that in order to do
business a merchant must be known.
Tho first efforts consisted in selecting a
store in a public thoroughfare and put?
ting up an attractive sign. These metn
ods were effective only iu attracting
the attention of passers-by. With the
growth of journalism a merchant was for
the first time enabled to address an au?
dience not only in his own vicinity, but
at all points from which trade could be
attracted ; so that a card in a newspaper
became the most effectivo salesman, who
i said precisely the right thing in the best
manner, and whose activity could not be
measured. A card in the newspaper of
to-day is a missionary a year hence.
Alabama Gold Life Insubance Com?
pany.?The advertisement of this insur?
ance company appears in our columns,
and we desire to direct tho attention of
persons contemplating life insurance to
its advantages and business. The offi?
cers of the company are warmly com?
mended for>heir sagacity, prudence and
skill in tho management of its affairs,
and to-day its business reaches from the
Potomac to tho Rio Grande, while the
stock is above par, the dividends hand?
some and satisfactory to the stockholders,
and the payment of claims always prompt
-standing the crucial test by singular
fairuess iu the adjustment of its losses.
Since the company was inaugurated in
1869, there has been paid out $400,000 in
death claims, and its policies now num?
ber nearly six thousand, while its cash
capital amounts to ?800,000. The con?
tract for life insurance is one of the most
sacred that can be made between man
and man, as it deals with the most holy
affections and sympathies of the human
heart. It is a bargain to be fulfilled in
houor, after the principal contractor has
gone out of life. Hence, in choosing tho
company in which to repose this solemn
trust, one cannot bo too careful to exer
ciso prudence and judgment in making
the selection, so as to make certain that
its mauagement will protect his interests.
This guarantee is abundantly afforded by
tho Alabama Gold Lifo, and to the people
of Anderson this company has been fa?
vorably' introduced by Gen. Stephen D.
Lee, who is so well known amongst them
for exalted character and business quali?
fications. A local Board of Directors
was organized last summer, and Capt.
A. Waties is the authorized agent of the
company. He is engaged in canvassing
tho country at this time, and will take
pleasure in oxplaining the condition,
prospects and reliability of the company
to any desiring insurance.

? A. H. Stephens continues in a very
feeble state from disease in one of bis
lungs. Though he eats and sleeps well
he does not regain his strength. It is
feared he will not be able to take his seat
in Congress during the present session.
? Judge James Johnson, who will be
remembered as the Provisional Governor
of Georgia under President Johnson, has
announced himself as an independent
candidate for Governor on the platform
of principles embodied in Grant's Des
Moines speech and message to Congress.
? Congress proposes to reduce the
army to a force of only 15,000 men, thus
saving to the government annually 83,
300.00O. This immense sum of money
has, up to the present time, been spent
every year in upholding the carpet bag
governments at the South, and tbe coun?
try is becoming anxious to "unloa d."
? It is learned that tbe late VicB Presi?
dent Wilson bad concluded his volumi?
nous work on the rise and fall of the
slave power with the exception o f three
or four chapters. The material for these
was left in the hands of the Rev. Samuel
Hunt, of Natick, Mass., Mr. Wilson's
private secretary, who will complete the
work.
? Edgefield Advertiser r In view of
the rascality developed by low men in
high places, let the honest voters of the
country everywhere resolve to knock
down and stamp tho very first fellow
that asks for an office). A stern policy
like this might purify the political at?
mosphere, and give us such a govern?
ment as was contemplated by Washing?
ton and bis compatriots.
? Edgefiold Advertiser: The spring?
like weather is a never-ending topic of
wonder, and of conversation. So long
has it lasted in Edgefield, that our hills,
valleys and fields are literally covered
with green grass. On Monday last, tho
heat of the suh was actually sickoning.
As we stood on the Court House steps
taking notes of the land sales, we were
actually struck with a strong desire to

Whereas, it hath pleased Almighty God,
in His inscrutable Providence and infinite
mercy, to remove from this earthly taberna?
cle our esteemed and worthy Companion,
Rev. James M. Landress; who gave in his
life a bright example of all those virtues
inculcated by Masonry, which have existed
from time immemorial with all good men,
and are as expansive aus the blue arch of
Heaven ; and whereas, while recognizing
the hand of the Supreme Architect of the
Universe, who doeth all things well, we
deem it proper, in fraternal regard to our
deceased Companion, to give some testimo?
nial of the esteem in which he was held by
this Chapter. Be it therefore
Resolved, That in the death of Rev. James
M. Landress we have sustained the loss of
a faithful and zealous Companion?one who
never failed, amidst the cares of earth, to
give indubitable evidence of his unwavering
devotion to the best mtereets of our mystic
circle, and his consistent life has made an
indelible impression upon our hearts?the
temple of brotherly affection.
Resolved, That the family of our deceased
Companion are assured of our .sympathies
in this sore affliction, and earnest prayer for
the protection and guidance of Him who
has promised to shield the widow and pro?
tect the orphan.
Resolved, That a blank page in our Record
Book be dedicated to the memory of Com?
panion Landress, together with his name,
age and date of death inscribed thereon.
Resolved, That the Secretary is hereby in?

IT IS AN ESTABLISHED FACT THAT
FURNITURE CAN BE BOUGHT CHEAPER
AT MY FURNITURE WARE-ROOMS, ANDERSON, S. C,
THAN at any other Retail Establishment. This is now acknowledged by all who
have seen my Goods and heard my prices. With unsurpassed' facilities, and
the motto of
LIVE AND LET LIVE,
I am a beliover in tbo principle that quick sales and small profits are best for buyer
and seller, and am enaoled practically to carry out this boliof, as my Goods are
bought only of the Manufactories, with the advantages of shipping in a knock?
down state, by which the lowest freight rates are secured, whoroby I can promise
to sell as CHEAP AS THE CHEAPEST, and guarantee any article of Furniture
as low as it can be laid down from any City in the United States. I have now on
hand the largest and best selected stock of
Pundture, Mattresses, Window Shades, Picture Frames,
Ac, ever kept in a country Town or City, and it will givo mo pleasure to havo the
