Mr. Joseph Ksys brought samples of his cotton crop to -.his office on Tuesday to s^ow the result of tits hail.' Every bud aud leaf was knocked off, and if it had been * picked with the ?and it could not have been more effectually done. Mr. Keys had a V iry fine crop before the storm, but it is c imaged immensely, if not ruined, by the hail. We have been requested to announce that a general picnic will be given at Ebenezer, in Martin township, on the 22d of June i: ist. The public generally and the ladies especially are invited to attend. All who have ever attended one of these occasions Li this locality Trill be sure to attend if pos? sible, for they are invariably very pleasant, indtxd. The rain storm which visited the Wes? tern portion of Anderson County during the first of last week raised the waters of' several streams very much, and did con? siderable mischief. The worst damage of which we have heard was the washing away of the dam of Mr. J. W. Prevost's upper mill and the flooding of the mill it? self. Mr. Pre vast is busily engaged repair? ing, and will have it in running order this week. The many relatives and friends of Mr. Franklin Bnrriss, of California, formerly of this County, will regret to learn of his daath, which occurred in his adopted State oa the 20th of May lasc^from the falling of a bridge. Mr. Bnrriss left this County -sibout twenty-five years ago, and finit settled in Texas, but subsequently moved to Cali? fornia. He was 51 years old, and was a brother of Mr. Newton Burriss, of this County. The drug stores of Anderson will, after next Monday and until further notice, close up at 6 o'clock in the afternoon as the other stores do. Parsons will find it to their con? venience to remember this. Of course they will accommoiiate their patrons at any hour when there 1) an emergency fcr medicine, bat in that event those desiring it will be put to the trouble of looking up the drug? gists, as their stores will be dosed. Tha-hail storm of last Sunday did great damage to the gardens in Anderson, and broke out a quantity of glass. In Mr. D. S. Maxwell's green house 160 glass were broken, and in the Baptist Church 110, be? sides many in the Court House, on Granite Sow and other houses. The hail stones w ere very large. We saw one after the Storni of irregular shape which measured 6f inches around, and quantities that meas? ured 1} inches. Mr. H. B. Fant, the efficient Agent of the Southern Express Company at this place, informs us that special rates have been made for the shipment cf: fruits in bulk to Charleston and other cities. From Ander-1 son to Charleston the rate is only 90 cents on the hundred pounds. Our fruit growers might find it profitable to arrange lor ship ping some of their crop this year, and any person desiring information as to the mode ' .of packing, &c, can obtain it -by inquiring of Mr. Fant at the depot. The Cantata of "The Haymakers" will be given at Masonic Hall on Thursday and Friday evenings, (20th and 21st instant) Admission, fifty cents; children under twelve, twenty-five cents. Doors opened at 7i o'clock; performances begin 81 o'clock. Both evenings the performances will be alike. "The Haymakers" is founded upon the incidents connected with the hay field and hay-making season. The performers will be in picturesque peasant costume. The Cantata concludes with the grand har? vest borne chorus. Tickets can be procured at the door. After the bail and rain on last Sunday, tho children of Mr. J. W. Prevost and some of his tenants were playing around the creek upon which bis upper mill is located. The creek was very high, and flowing with considerable rapidity over its shoally bed, and a little daughter of Mr. Strother Kay fell in the stream, and being nnable to swim, would have drowned but for the heroism of little Charley Prevost, who plunged into the turbid torrent and rescued her. It was a brave act, and does great credit to his moral courage as well as to his prowess as a swimmer, of which a man ? might well be proud. Apropos to the celebration which is to take place at the Old Star Fort, near Ninety Six next week, Mr. Samuel Browne, of Broadaway township, informs us that he has the wagon-boxes upon which the tim? bers and materials for constructing this fort were hauled. Thsy are very large, being tlx to seven inches in diameter, and have been in this County for many years past. Mr. James Todd, of Revolutionary times, Jeft them to his son James Todd, who left than to his son Cater Todd, who gave them to a nvoaber of Mr. Browne's family. Mr. Browr. expresses his willingness to give one of them to the people of Ninety Six, if " they wish it. TEH2I3LE 3IAH. STORM. On last Sunday our County was visited by the severest storm of rain and hail that has ever been witnessed in this section, and its effects coming after the season for crop planting has entirely passed will be im? measurably hurtful. The storm passed over Anderson in four sections, the first and last being rain principally, while the second and third contained the destructive bail. The storm began at about half-past twelve, with an interval of about half to three-quarters of an hour between the first three showers, and an hour and a half be? tween the two last It was, however, vir? tually one storm, as the successive storm clouds tracked substantially the same course, each appearing to intensify the calamity and destruction inflicted by the one preceding. The storm had its origin west of the Georgia line, crossing the Tugalo Eiver near Jarrett's bridge, and sweeping down to the fork of the two rivers at An? derson ville, it came from almost a westerly direction over Anderson Court House, and on across the Saluda River, in Bel ton town? ship, as far East as we have been able to bear of. The. destruction and ruin wrought by it cannot be adequately described, neither can it be imagined by those who have aot wit? nessed a similar catastrophe. Fields were changed in a few moments from the beauty and luxuriance with which the summer crops clothe them to the barrenness of win? ter, or they were shattered and riven by the missies which fell from the skies until they were bat a wreck to testify the ruin which had been wrought. To enumerate the per? sons who were injured would require more space than our whole paper affords. To mention even those whose crops appear to have been totally destroyed would be im? possible. Quite a number of sections claim to have been the most heavily damaged, and it is hard to decide between them, but as far as we can judge from accounts and observation, the section from two to five miles West of this place suffered heaviest, embracing the farms of Messrs. Keys, Mc Cully, Provost and their neighbor.} on to Mr. Skelton'a place. Mr. Howell, upon Mr. Provost's Davis place, and many others had their crops beaten into atoms and much of them washed away. - No hillside ditches could retain the flood, and the damage to lands is as great as that to crops. The in? juries from these storms will amount to many thousand dollars, and will nearly ruin many very worthy men. CIRCUIT COURT. ? The June term of the Circuit Court for this County began on last Monday, Judge Kerahaw presiding, and Solicitor Ccthran being at his post The Judge, in charging the Grand Jury said: It is made the duty of the Court before charging you upon special matters to give instruction upon the general subject of your office for your guidance in the proper dis? charge of your duty. You represent an in? stitution taken from our English ancestry, and are one of the safeguards of liberty. Our ancestors took care to maintain this institution. in forming our laws after the revolution. You should be drawn from different sections of the County to enable you to confer, together and receive informa? tion from all parts of the County, as to the manner in which your public officers per? form their duty, that the police and good order of the County may be promoted. It is a matter of congratulation that the criminal calendar of your County is so light It has been rare to find this for the last ten years. While there are not many cases, there are two of a most unfortunate character. It is much to be regretted that the usual aversion to the taking of human life which prevails in all civilized countries has been blunted somewhat by the effects of the late war. Men became accustomed to scenes of bloodshed and violence then, and have not entirely gotten over it. Since then there has been another trouble of a social nature which in still more calculated to disturb the moral serenity of our people. Bat it too has past, and here, where I see ?the prosperity which salutes the stranger and the happiness which beams from your countenances, it is time to return to the old virtues. One cause of bloodshed now is the carryiag of concealed weapons, and thus having the implements of death always at hand. No man ought to carry a weaoon except when threatened by some special danger, and then he should use it only in self-defense. It is a reprehensible custom. The peace and order of the community would be benefitted by a general disarming. When men haye tun 3 to think before act? ing, bloodshed will be less frequent .. There is another practice which, com? bined with the preceding, is often the cause of bloodshed. 1 refer to the use of intoxi? cating liquors. I have not seen anything here to. indicate any necess ity forfelluding to this subject, but from a varied experience I deem it proper to take this occasion to recommend total abstinence from intoxi? cating liquors. Mr. Foreman and gentlemen, I presume you have already been well instructed as to your duty. You will observe your oath to fully and fairly administer your office. The proceedings before you are entirely secret. This is to enable you. to act without favor or fear. Secret proceedings in Court ore ab? horrent to justice, but it is necessary to jus? tice to protect the weak against the strong that the proceedings of a jury when it re? tires should be secret. Each member should feel that his action upon a jury can never be called into question. To pry into these matters, or to disclose them, would be pun? ishable as a contempt of Court The Judge then spoke of the law punishing rape and arson with death, and burglary in the dwel? ling with imprisonment for Lfe. Also, of the law to protect insectivorous birds, and the act to prevent cruelty to animals by beating or unmerciful driving, which is punishable with a fine of $15 or fifteen days' imprisonment Also, the act against steal? ing live stock, which is punishable by im? prisonment from one to ten years. The Judge next instructed them as. to the man? ner of their findings. He directed them to examine the various Sublic offices of the County and report, his inquiry should b; fair and just The public officer should not be made a target for prejudice or malice. If he discharges his duties faithfully, he deserves the high? est honor and thanks of the people. You will report only such officers as are false to their trusts, in order to promote the effi? ciency of the public service. He contin? ued : I especially congratulate your people upon the adoption of the new fence law. It shows an enlightened and progressive pub? lic senciinent. By this act I think you have vindicated your claim to the high and en? lightened position you occupy in the State. You are far ahead of others in this respect, and no doubt the enhancement of the value of your lands and the other benefits this law will confer on you will prove that you have conferred a valuable blessing upon posterity as well as upon yourselves. The only case tried' was the State vs. Franklin Garrison, colored, for killing Robert Green, colored, in a quarrel about a pot near Williamston. A jury, of which Mr. John M. Glenn was foreman, was em? panelled, and after an able defense of the prisoner by Messrs. McGowan, Moore A Allen, the speech of Solicitor Cothran and the charge of the Judge, the jury retired, and in about thirty minutes returnee a ver? dict of guilty of manslaughter, with a re commendation to mercy. The prisoner was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. After the transaction of civil business the Court adjourned on Wednesday morning. The people of Anderson and the members of the bar are delighted with Judge Ker? shaw as a Judge and as a pure and refined gentleman. He is an ornament to tho re? organized Bench of the8tate.

On last Monday night the Anderson Pal raetto Band, together with a number of the citizens of the town and surrounding coun? try, repaired to the Waver)}' House for the purpose of serenading Judge Kcrshaw and Solicitor Cothran. After some excellent music from the Band Judge Kerahaw was loudly called for, and was introduced by Dr. R. F. Divver as one of Carolina's no? blest and purest sons, and an honest Judge. Judge Kershaw then responded in nub stance as follows: Fellow- Citizens and Gentlemen of the Bund: While I appreciate most highly this kind and beautiful compliment which you pay me, and while no one has a higher love of music, or enjoys listening to its strains be? neath the silver light of yonder moon as they come to the ear upon the breezes fresh from your mountain clime, and as I realize with gratitude the kind ardor w hich prompts you in this demonstration, I must confess that I am embarrassed in making my ac? knowledgments to you. But when I accep? ted the office of Judge, which your repre? sentatives bestowed upon me, I decided to accept as my mentors the Whitners, O'Neals, Warcllaws, Harpers and others, who adorned the Bench, and did not seek applause by public speaking. ? On this subject I am re? minded of the maxim of Lord Coke, who said a much-speaking Judge is an ill-tuned cymbal. I am an old man now, but I can yet appreciate the beauties of the quartette moonlight, music, love and flowers, and while 1 enjoy the others to-night, 1 will leave the other, love, to you young men. After more music, Col. Cothran was cull? ed for, and was introduced by Dr. Divver I as the coming man of upper South Caro? lina. Col. Cothran said: My friends, I am here; and I have never seen the summer moon and stars shine brighter, I have -never heard the music sound sweeter, Mrs. Cochran's fried chicken has never tasted better, and I have never seen the Democracy in better heart. The party is at work, and there is a prospect of better times. But wkar is the enemy ? We are ready to meet him. In February last I supposed we would have had our war paint on and the campaign have been open? ed before this, but everything is calm and serene. We are having it all our own way, but remember to keep your powder dry. The enemy may organize in an hour, aud we will need the effort of 1876 again. I have no idea of losing what we have gain? ed. It cost too much labor, time, enthusi? asm and human courage. The colored peo? ple are satisfied. Peace and low prices pre? vail, and all South Carolina ought to be Democratic. II a man, black or white, can't approve the Democratic good.govern ment, he ought to have the remedy of a sick child. The mother hates to give it bad medicine, but if necessary she gives it. So we mean to give the colored peoplo Denioc I racy. We prefer them to take it, but if they won't do it any other way, we will ti ve it to them like a dose of oil. It must e taken, if we have to drench it down them. There are no issues before us now, but be ready. We must be like. the doctor who went to see a case of cramp colic. The man's wife asked if he could cure it. He replied that he did not know about that, but he could hold him at what he was. So we must hold the State at what it is. It 1 cost too much to get her here. We have not had the government long enough. We must not only hold it, but we must make it better. The party then repaired to the residence of Maj. John B. Moore to serenad: Gen McGowan. In response to the calls for Gen. Mc Cowan, Maj. John B. Moore appeared, and expressed gratification at the compliment tendered to Gen. McGowan, and said that two years ago we achieved a glorious vic? tory ; that it was now our duty to maintain it, and that it gave him pleasure to intre? duce to the audience a man who did as much to achieve the victory of 1876 as any other man in South Carolina, Gen. Samuel McGowan. After prolonged applause, Gen. McGowan responded by thanking them for the com? pliment paid him, and said that he always looked forward to a pleasant time in An? derson whenever he came, because our peo? ple invariably receive him with courtesy and kindness and hospitality. He said he ?did not know what to speak about at this time. Everything is quiet in politics. There are no special issues before us. The campaign has not opened yet, but we are mustering our strength for the coming bat? tle. We are clearing the quarter-deck to be ready for action. You opened the canvass on the first day of September last time. It will probably begin a month sooner this time, as our State Convention meets on the first day of August to nominate a State ticket. We do not know yet what issues we will have to meet, but in Abbeville we are acting on the motto of the rifleman who advised another whose gun missed fire to i pick his flint and try it again. We are j picking our flints to try it again, and ex? pect to improve on what we did before. | We remember that in 1876, when we were | struggling to free ourselves, how the men of Anderson poured down into Abbeville to assist in arousing enthusiasm r.nd courage. We were weak then, and needed assistance, but we are not so now. We are able to take care of ourselves without further assistance now. In fact, I think the opposition have about given up the fight in Abbeville this year, and that we will have no conflict, so if you need it, we will roll back to the | mountains the wave of assistance and in? fluence which you poured down on us two J years ago. Your County took the lead two years ago, and we are looking to you now so that when you do move we shall come to your assistance to make the triumph greater than it was before. When the proper time comes for your primary elec? tion, go out and nominate your best and most suitable men for office, especially the Legislature, without reference to whether they want it or not. Do not be governed by who is most anxious or who has elec? tion eerd most. Select them because they are the proper men. Not because they want to serve, but because you want them to serve. Not because you wish to honor them, but because you wish to take care of yourselves. When you have done this, re? main true to your party. Be united, and we will have secured our deliverance for all time to come. We must hold what we 1 have gained, or all of our past labor and en-; thusiosm has been in vain. We cannot afford to divide now, for to do so is to lose oar splendid victory. It cost too much of labor, of courage, of patriotism and of splendid effort to give it up. We will never do it. The developments of rascality, fraud aud theft which lias bcea shown up upon the Radicals in this State, together with the crimes which are now being devel? oped on them in the United States, will bury their patty so low and cover in the grave so sacurely that line and pluuibct can never ascertain its depth. SEVERE STORM. Last Sunday was indeed a day of destruc? tion and ruin to many persons in Ander? son County. In addition to the terrible hail-storm, of whicli an account appears elsewhere, there was a fearful storm of j wind and lightning in the lower portion t?f j this County, which passed over about five o'clock in the afternoon, tearing down trees, fences, and in some cases out-houses. The severity of the storm reached its highest about Mr. Geo. Stevenson's, in Savannah Township, and swept eastward through Hall and Martin townships, leveling the largest trees of the forest as well as fences, and deluging the country with a tremen? dous rain. On Mr. Stevenson's place two* trees were struck four times by lightning, and in addition to many trees his cotton house W?S blown down. The storm left ruin in its track, which was a mile wide and miles in length. The creeks were vory high, and the crops in bottom lan ds were completely washed away, while the hill? sides wcro cut to pieces by the torrents which flowed over them. Hail accompa? nied this storm also, and it, together with the rain and wind, ruined the wheat and oat crop which was not harvested, while the corn and cotton crops in some localities were almost ruined. An estimate of the damage cannot be made, though it is known to be immense._ Ladies who vnluo their complexion, should avoid all face powders.

Kershaw, Presiding Judge of the 8th Judicial Circuit, at Anderson C. //"., ? C.: The Grand Jury of Anderson County re? spectfully present That they have examined the various County offices, and find them woll kept. By a comnuitttc of their number they have visited the Poor House, and find that the paupers are well cared for, but that the houses are not as comfortable as they should be, some of ihem t-eing so open that it would be impossible to keep them warm in celd weather. They cilled the attention of the County Commissioners to this fact at the lost Court, and recommended that the houses be made more comfortable," but it has not yet been done. The Grand Jury recommend that it be done before winter, and some more comportable houses be erected. We find that the repairs that we recom? mended to be made on the Jail has been made, which mako the Jail now, we think, secure. We think it a matter of congratulation to the people of the Count}- that there are only two prisoners now confined in our County Jail. The alterations end repairs recommended by us to be made on the Court House have not yet been made, neithenhas the old Ex? ecution Book in the Sheriff's office been rebound and indexed as recommended by us, nor the Book Cose purchased for the said SherifTs office. We find that the Roads and Bridges in the County are in tolerably good condition, but recommend that they be put in good condition before the first of September next. It affords us pletdure to report that the change in the fence law is giving general satisfaction. We lave been unable to learn of any depredations on crops by stook, or any law suits arising from the change, and we confidently believe that the prediction of your Honor, that it will prove a blessing to the community, will be verified. Respectfully submitted, B. D. DEAN, Foreman. TEMPERANCE P?CNIC AT CAE8WELL INSTITUTE. Mb. Editor : It was' our privilege on last Saturday, together with several others from Anderson, to attend and participate in a very pleasant picnic at Can well Institute, in the vicinity of Storeville postoffice. It was not so much the pleasures of a picnic as it was the interest we felt in the cause of temperance, however, that took us hither. We had been invited by Mr. G. F. Tolly, the acting G. W. P., to attend and assist in the institution of a Division of Sons of Temperanc 3 at that place on the I afternoon of the day mentioned, which was gladly accepted. Owing to the showers and the threatening attitude of the clouds in the morning, we did not reach the Insti? tute until about 12 o'clock, where we found a small party of young men, who seemed to bo patiently awaiting the arrival of the fair sex, without whose presence and encourage? ment all things of the kind must of necessi? ty be failures. After a while the young ladies began to arrive, and soon their bewitching smiles, merry laughter and bright and happy coun? tenances gave the place a much more cheer? ful and pleasant appearance. It made us think of days gone by; and, indeed, we almost forgot for tbs time being that our time hod passed. Bow happy should the young men (or old.) be who choose from among the handsome, intelligent and ac? complished daughter! of Storeville! Dinner was announced in due time, and suffice it to say that the reputation of this hospitable community was well sustained in this feature, of ths day, and Anderson was well represented, at least as well as four of us could do it. About three o'clock a meeting was organ? ized, with Col. W. E. Walters as chairman, to organize and institute a Division of Sons of Temperance. Before the institution took place, however, Mr. ??olly and Col. Walters made stirring and eloquent speeches in be? half of the cause, which elicited the earnest attention and consideration of all present. They were followed by Messrs. P. K. Mc Cully, L. P. Smith and W. W. Keys in a few remarks by each, after which Mr. Tolly, assisted by Mr. Smith, instituted a Division of forty-two persons, about equally divided between the sexes. The following officers were elected: W. E. Walters, W. P.; D. M. Ramsey, W. A.; J. C. Milford, R. S.; Miss Alice Jackson, A. R. S.; M. L. Cars well, F. S.; G. T. T?te, Treas.; Dr. G. Thomson, Con.; Miss Rosa Milford, A. C; M. W. Spoon, Chap.; E. W. Milford, I. 8.; James Jackson, 0. S.; Miss Hattie Swilling, P. W. P, The officers were duly installed, and the Division named Excelsior. . This concluded the nervices of institution, and after giving such necessary instruction and information as was deemed proper, the Division adjourned, and we were soon on our way homeward, having spent a most pleasant and profitable day. The Division starts out under the most favorable auspices of any ever established in the County. We wish it a prosperous career. K. SCHOOL EXHIBITION. We had the pleasure of witnessing the exhibition of Slabtown High School on Friday evening, 7th inst. It consisted of orations, dialogues, charades and minstrels. The occasion was both interesting and edi? fying. Although the evening was threaten? ing, and even showery, still a large audience of patrons and friends assembled to enjoy the exarcises. The speeches, by the young men, as well as by the boys, were delivered in an earnest and forcible manner. The charades were wisely selected and gracefully and skillfully acted. The last were the minstrels, and being acted in a very natural manner, created much laughter. We would not attempt a detailed account for fear we might fail to do justice, but suffice it to say that the exhibition pessed off creditable to all. Mr. J. C. Watkins, the principal of this school, is undoubtedly a man of indomita? ble energy, and is well versed in the duties of the school room, judging from the profi? ciency made and the- complete success of the entire exercises. Those people should highly appreciate his labors among them, and by united efforts in the cause of educa? tion, they may revivify and reinstate that standard of and love for knowledge at old Slabtown which they once experienced and of which they were once proud.

This immediato vicinity escaped the hail, though the rain storm was furious. W. A. Dickson. TEACHEEB' CONVENTION. Mn.

The Liver is the imperial organ of the whole human system, as it controls the life, health and happiness of man. When it is disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of ailments are the natural result. The diges? tion of food, the movements of the heart and blood, the action of the brain and nerv? ous system, are all immediately connected with the workings of the Liver. It has been successfully proved that Green's August Flower is unequalled in curing all persons afflicted with Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint, and all the numerous symptoms that result from an unhealthy condition of the Liver and Stomach. Sample bottles to try, 10 cents. Positively sold in all towns on the Western Continent. Three doses will prove that it is just what you want. IF The Woman who rejoices in salad and ice cream, bot cakes and warm pie; IF The Student who eats hastily and sits down at once to active mental labor; IF The Business Man who bolts his food in eager haste and hurries to his counting room ; IF The Hard Drinker could look at the deli? cate glands, swollen and festered with dis? ease, that cause the throbbing brain ; IF The Lawyer, the Minister, the Merchant, and all who lead sedentary lives and are subject to Dyspepsia or Indigeston, Consti? pation and Headache; IF These only knew what Merrell's H epe* tine for the Liver will do for their relief, and how quickly it cures?there would be much less suffering than at present.

THE SINGER SEWING MACHINES ARE the Best, Simplest and most Dura? ble in use. It has been greatly im? proved in the last few months, although the old was very good. There are over six hun? dred of them in daily use in this County, giving perfect satisfaction. You may buy a Machine, "so-called," for less money, but if you want to be satisfied aftergmu purchase, always get the best. This Tompany sell more than all the rest pnt together, and there are about fifty different Machines on the market. The Singer was the first to reduce the price, and of course the minors had to follow, and they had to come a little below the Singer, or else they would have to abandon business, for I know from experi? ence that parties say if you will take for the Singer what I can get another at, I will take the Singer all the time. What do they mean by that ? Cash prices, $35, $40 and $45, owing to style and finish, but the Machines are the same throughout in the nice adjustment of their parts, &c. The best criterion that I can give you as to my opinion of the different machines, is my connection with this famous Machine for nine years in succession. Machines sold on easy terms. Machines of all makes. repaired at short notice, and prices moderate. Needles, Oil and parts al? ways on hand. Come and see me before you buy. Up-stairs, over Barr & Fant's Store. JOHN H. CLARKE, ?

IT8 introduction and world-renowned reputation was the death blow to high priced machines. There are no second? hand White Machines in the market. This is a very important matter, as it is a well known and undisputed fact that many of the so-called first-class machines which are offered so cheap nowadays are those that have been repossessed (that is, taken back from customers after use) and rebuilt and put upon the market as new. The White is the peer of aw.v Sewing Ma? chine now upon the market. It is much larger than the family machines of the Singer, Howe and Weed make. It costs more to manufacture than cither of the aforesaid machines. Its construction is simple, positive and durable. Its. work? manship is unsurpassed. $3r Do not buy any other before trying the White. Prices and terms made sntis factory. For sale by BED WINE & nOBSEY.
