All who have ever attended one of these occasions in this locality will he sure to attend if pos sible, for they are invariably very pleasant, indeed. Tho rain storm which visited the Wes ? ?rn 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 ws bava beau' was ?aa washing away of the dam of Mr. J. W. Provost's upper mill and the flooding of tho mill it self. Mr. Pr?vost Ia busily eugaged repair ing, and will have it In running order this week.

The creek waa vary nigh, and flowing with and a little daughter of Mr. St .'other Kay fell la the stream, and being unable to swim, would have drowned but for tba heroism of little Charley Pru vost, who plunged frito the turbid torrent and rescued her. It was a brave act, and does great credit to hts mora! courage aa weil as to his prowess aa u swimmer, of which a mau 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, informa us that ha has tbs wagon-boxes upon which the tim bara and materials for constructing thia fort wera hauled. They ere" very large, being six to seven lochee tn diameter, and have beam In this County for many years past. Mr. James Todd, of Revolutionary time?, left them to his son James Todd, who loft them to bia son Oater Todd, who gave them to a memtxnr of Mr. Browne's family. Mr. Brown expresses his willingness to gi va one of them to the people of Ninety Six. if they wish it TE&RIB?J5 BAU. STORK. Ou Ia?t Sunday our County waa visited by thc severest stonu of rain and bail thai has ever been witnessed in thia section, und its ?neets coming after the season for crop j rVntlng hos entirely passed will be im measurably hurtfnt. The storm passed over Anderson in four aectlons, the first : and last being rain principally, while tho ! second and third contained the destructivo bail. The storm began ci about hal'-pist twelve, with an interval of about half to three-quarters of an hour between tho first three showers, and an hour and a half be tween the two last. It was, however, vir tually one storm, aa tho successive storm clouds tracked substantially tho same j course,1 each appearing to intensify ' the calamity and destruction inflicted by the ono preceding. The storm had its origin west of the Georgia i-'ne. crossing the Tugulo Uiver near Jarrett's bridge, and sweeping down to thc fork of the two rivera at An derson ville, it came from almost a westerly direction over Anderson Court House, and on across the Saluda River, in Belton town ship, as far East as we have been able to bear of. Tho destructiou and ruin wrought by it cannot be adequately described, neither can it be imagined by those who have not wit nessed a similar catastrophe. Field? ?ere changed in a few moments from tho beauty and luxuriance with which the summer crops clotho them to the barrenness of win ter, or they were shattered and rivon by the missies which fell from the skies until they were but a wreck to testify the ruiu 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 destrryed would be im possible. Quite a nun. ocr of sections claim to have been the most heavily damaged, and it is hard to decido between them, but as fur os 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 neighbors on to Mr. Shelton's place. Mr. Howell, upon Mr. Prevcst's Davis place, and many others had their crops beaton into atoms and much of them washed away. No hillside ditches could retain tho flood, and the damage to lands is as great as that to crops. The in juries from these storms will amount to many thousand 'jailers, and will nearly ruin many very worthy men. CISCUI? COURT. The June tenn of the Circuit Court for this County began on last Mon lay, Judge Kershaw presiding, and Solicit ,r Cothran being at his post. The Judgc, lu charging the Grand Jury said : It is rondo tho duty of the Court before charging you upon special mattera to g. *c instmctlon upon tho 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 fuming our laws after the revolution. You should be drawn Crom 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 he promoted. It is a matter of congratulation that the criminal calendar of your County ls so light. It has been rare to find this for tho lost ten years. While there axe not many cases, there aro two of a most unfortunate character, lt is much to be regretted that the usual aversion tc the taking of human life which prevails in all civilized countries bas been blunted somewhat by the effects of the late war. Men became accustomed to scenes of bloodshed and violence then, aud Lave ?oi cn.?.clj golden over it. Since then there has beeu another trouble of a social nature which is still more calculated to disturb the moral serenity of our people. Bat it too has past, and here, where 1 see tho prosperity which salutes tho 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 .sirrving cf concealed weapons, suv thus having tho implements of death always at hand. No man onght to curry a weapon except when threatened by some special danger, and then he should use only in self-defense. It is a reprehensible custom. The peace and order of the community would bo benefitted by o general disarming. Where men haye tims to think before act ing, bloodshed will be lesa frequent. . There is another practice which, com bined with the preceding, is often tho cause of bloodshed. ? refer to the uso of intoxi cating liquors. I have not seen anything here to. indicate any necessity fortoiludlng to this subject, hut from a vaned 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. Ten will ob^r vc your c?tu tc fully and fairly administer your office. The prooiedings before you are entirely secret. This is to enable you to act without favor or fear. Secret proceedings in Court are ab horrent to justice, but it fi necessary to jus tice to protect the weak against the strong that the proceedings of a jury when it re tires should bo secret. Each member should feel that his action upon a y*ry can never bs 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 low punishing rape and arson with death, and burglary lu the dwel ling with imprisonment for lifo. Also, of ?he law to protect insect?voroua birds, and tho act to prevent cruelty to animals b beating or unmerciful driving, which i finn tenable with a fine of $15 or fifteen days' mprisonruent. Also, tho act against steal ing live stock, which ia punishable by im prisonment from one tb ten years. The Judge next instructed them os to tho man ner of their findings. Ho directed them to examino tho various public offices bf the County and report. This inquiry should bo fair and just. Tho public officer should not be mode a target for prejudice or malice. If he discharges his duties faithfully, ho deserves tho 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 clancy, of tue public service. He con tin ned : I especially congratulate your people upon thc adoption of tho new fence law. lt shows an enlightened and progressive pub lic sentiment. ?<y this act I think you have vindicated your claim to the high and en lightened position you occupy In tho 8tale You are far ahead of others In this respect, and no doubt the enhancement of tho value j of your lands and tho other ocnofits this] law wlit conier on you will prove that yon " havo conferred a valuable blessing upon posterity as well as upon yourselves.

P. Divver as one ot Carolina's no blast and purist sons, and an honut Judge. Judge Kershaw then responded in sub stance as follows : Fellow-CUiaens and Gentlemen of the Band: While 1 appreciate most highly thia 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 aa they cunio to the ear upon tho breezes fresh from your mountain dime, cod as I realise with gratitude tho kind ardor which prompts you Tn this d?monstration. I must oo afeas that 1 am embarrassed iii making my ac knowledgments to yon. But when I accep ted tho otllce of Judge, which your repre sentatives bestowed upon mu, I decided to accept as my meutora the Whitncrr, O' Neala, Wardlaws, Harpers and ethers, who adorned tho Beuch, and did uot seek applause by public speaking. ! On this subject I am re minded of the maxim of Lora Coke, who said a much-speaking Judge is an ill-tunod cymbal. I oui au ola mau now, but I can yet appreciate the beauties of tho quartette moonlight, music, luve and howers, and while I enjoy the others to-night, 1 will leave the oilier, love, to you young men. After more music, Col. Coloran waa call-, ed for, and was introduced by Dr. Divver as tho coming man of upper South Caro lina. Col. Cothran said : My friends, I am here ; and 1 have never i seen tuc BU Cu rn r? moon auu atan?

In February lost 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 wo will need the effort of 1876 again. I I bave no idea nf loalnsr what we havn imln. ! ed. It cost too much" labor, time. enUtuai ! asm and human courage. The colored peo j plo are satislied.

Tiie mother hates to give it bad medicine, but if necessary abo gives it. So wo mean to give the colored people Democ racy. We prefer them to take it, but if they won't do it any other way, we will' give it to thom like a dose of oil. It must bc taken, if we have to drench it down them. There are no issues before us now, but be ready. We must be Uko tho doctor who went to ceo a eade of cramp colic. The man's wife asked if he could cure it.

Wc have not had thc government long enough. We must not only hold it, but we must make it better. The porty theu repaired to tho residence of Maj. John B. Moore to serenade Gen. McGowan. In rr.inonv.n Ui the calls for Gen. Mc Gowan, Maj. John B. Moore appeared, and j expressed gratiilcation at the compliment j tendered to Gen.

We do hot know yet what issues we will have to meet, but in Abbeville we are acting on tbs motto of the rifleman who advised another whose gun missed fire to pick his flint and try it again. We are picking our flints to try it ?gain, and ex pect to improve on what we did before. Wo remember that in 1876, when we were iitrngglinx to free ourselves, how the men of Anderson poured ? jwn into Abbeville to assist in arousing enthusiasm and courage. We were weak tuen, and needed assistance, but we are not so now. W e are able to take care of ourselves without further assistance now. In fact, I think the opposition have about given up tho 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 ou us two years ago. Your County took the kead two years ago, and we are looking to yon 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 timo comea for your primary elec tion, go out and nominate your' best and most suitable men for otllce, especially the Legislature, without reference to whether they want it or not. Do not be governed by who is most anxious or who nos elec tion ee rd most. Select them because they are the proper men. Not because they want to servo, but because you want them to serve. Not because you wish to honor them, but because yon wish to take care of yourselves. ' When yon have done thia, ro main truo to your party. Be united, and we will have secured our deliverance for all time to como. We must hold what we hove gained, or all Of n?r past lober and en thusiasm has been in vain. We cannot afford to divide now, for to do so ia to lose our splendid victory. It cost too much of labor, of coonga, of patriotism and of splendid effort to give it up. We will never do it. Tho developments of rascality, fraud and theft which has been, shown up upon tho RadicsiB in this Stale, 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 securely that line and plnmbct can ncvor ascertain its depth. 8KVKB2 STORK. Last Sunday was indeed a day of destruc tion and ruin to many persons in Ander son County. In addition to the terrible | haii-storm, nf which . an account appears elsewhere, there waa a fearful storm of wind and lightning in the lower portion sf ibis Cona ty, which passed over about five o'clock in the afternoon, tearing down trees, fences, and In some cases out-houscs. The severity of the storm reached its highest about Mr. Geo.. Stevenson's, ia Savannah Township, and swept eastward through Hall and Martin townships, leveling the j largest trees of tho forest as well as fences, and deluging the country with a tremen dous rain. On Mr. Stevenson's place two1] trees were struck four times by lightning, and in addition to many trees his cotton, house, was blown down. The storm left ' ruin In ita track*, which was a mile wide \ am4, miles in length. The creeks were very hljrh. and th? rmrai In bottom' ?Sn!?3 TTS?**! completely washed away, whilt tho iiill sidca were cut to pieces by the torrents which flowed over them, Hall accompa nied tlib atorm also, and lt, together with tho rain and wind, rained the wheat and oat crop which was not harvested, while the corn and cotton crops in some localities were almost rained.

The Urand Juiy recommend that it be done before winter, and some inore comportable houses be erected. We find that the repairs that wa recoin mended to be made on the Jail has been made, which make the Jail now, we think, secure. We think it a matter of congratulation to the peoplo of the County that there are only two prisoners now confined in our County Jail.

EDITOR : It was our privilege on last Saturday, together with several others from Anderson, to attend and participate in a very pleasant picnic at Carswcll Institute, in the vicinity of Storevillo postoffice. It was not ao 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 Temperance at that place on the 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 tbs Insti tute until about 12 o'clock, whero we found a small party of young men, who seemed to bo patiently awaiting the arrival of the fair sex, without whore presence and encourage ment all things of the kind must of necessi ty bo failures. After a while tho young ladles began to arrive, and soon their bewitching smiles, merry laughter and bright and happy coun tenances gave the place a much moro cheer I .ful and pleasant appearance. It made us think of day: gone by; and, indeed, we almost forgot for the time being that our time hod passed. How happy should the young men (or old) bo who choose from nmone the handsom* intelligent and sc* corapllshed daughters of Storevillo! Dinner was announce** in due time, and suffice lt to say that tb veputation of this hospitable community was well sustained l in this feature, of the day, an^ Anderson [ waa well represented, at least as well as four of us could do it. Absout 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. Tolly and Col. Waitera 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. 8ml . and W. W. Key? in a few remarks by each, after which Mr. Tolly, assisted by Mr. Smith, instituted a Division cr forty-two persons, about equally1 divided between the sexes. Tho follow?;? officer? were elected : W. E. Walters, W, P. ; D. M. Bauisey, W. A. ; J. C. Milford, R. 8. : MS?, j Alica Jackson, A. R. S. ; M. L. Carawell, j F. S. ; G. T. Tate, Treas. ; Dr. G.

Tho officers were duly installed, and the Division named Excelsior. . Tills concluded the services of institution, and after giving such necessary Instruction and information as waa 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 undar the moat favorable auspices of any ever established in tho County. We wish it a prosperous career. K. SCHOOL SXRXSXTIGS. We had tho pleasure of witnessing the exhibition of S lah town High School on Friday evening, 7th inst. It consisted, of orations, dialogues, charades and minstrels. The occasion waa both interesting and edi* fylng. Although the evening was threaten ing, and even showery, still a largo audience of patrons and friends assembled io enjoy the exorcises. The speeches, by tho young ' men, sa well as by the hoys, were delivered In an earnest and forcible manner.. The charades were wisely selected and gracefully and'skillfully acted. The last wore the minstrels, and being acted in a Very natural manner, created much laughter. We would not attempt a detailed account for fear we m If ht teil tn di? Ji??Urs?. hr.t suffit*.
