Murray, member of the Slate Board of' Education, left for Columbia yes terday to attend the meeting of the Board, which convenes,to-day. Our Grange readers will find their depart? ment interesting and instructive this week, and we are requested to call their special attention .teethe official letters published in it, ... ? ? . The music on the public square last Fri? day afternoon by the Anderson Palmetto Band was most excellent, and was highly appreciated by our citizens. It is one of the best Bands in the State. Appointments of the Y. M. C. A. for next Sunday: To conduct the afternoon meeting, W M Wilcox; Poor House Committee, A. 1\ Hubbard, J. A. Daniels; Jail Committee, "Dr." R. T. Dirver, John M. Hubbard. The first base ball match of the season wre fought at Pendleton last Saturday be? tween the Palmetto Club of Anderson and the Buckeye Clab of Pendleton. The score stood 31 to IS, in favor of the Palmettoes. We regret that the Hon. John Wilson, the chairman of the delegation in the House ? of Representatives from this County, is dangerously ill. We trust, however, that the crisis has passed, and that he will speedily recover. 'The picnic at Bel ton on next Saturday, under the auspices of Williamston Division, Sons of Temperance, will doubtless b: a pleasant occasion. An address on the sub? ject of temperance will be delivered by Rev. W. H. Strickland. There will be a Sunday school mass meet? ing at Whitrfield on next Sunday at 10 o'clock a. m. The Beaverdam, Cedar Grove, Hopewell, Union Grove and Dor? chester Sunday schools are specially invi? ted. Speakers have been invited to address the meeting. - The Palmetto Riflemen will have a dress parade on the public square next Friday afternoon. They*, have recently received from Messrs. Clarence A. Hart & Co., Phil? adelphia, a beautiful flag, made to order, and"which will be used for the first time in their dress parade Friday. Dr. J. ?. Ducket: and family will remove this week from Anderson to their old home in Newberry County. We are glad to learn, however, that their removal from our midst is only temporary, as they contemplate re? turning about the first of January next. ? The Doctor baa made many friends during his residence here. Dr. S. M. Orr, a graduate of the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, offers his professional services in this issue of the Intelligences to the people of Anderson and surrounding country. Dr. Orr posses? ses many noble qualities of both head and heart, and we bespeak for him a liberal practice in his chosen profession. Prof. W. L. Johnson, representative of | Chas. M. StiefFs piano manufactory, Balti? more, was in Anderson th s week looking after the interest of his business. Mr. J. D. Maxwell is agent at this place. This piano received the only American metal forpianos at the Paris Exhibition in 1878, and the highest prize at Philadelphia in 1879. We are requested by Prof. J. G. Douthit,' President of the Anderson County Singing Convention, to announce that this Conven? tion will hold its fourth semi-annual ses? sion with Sandy Springs Church on the second Saturday and Sunday in May. A large attendance and very interesting exer? cises are expected. Every person is invited to attend the Convention. So far Anderson has done nothing for the Walterboro sufferers. Nearly every town in the State has contributed liberally u > w&rds helping them, and we sincerely trust our town authorities will at once take steps towards raising funds for their aid. 8ince the above paragraph was pnt in type, and as we go to press, efforts arc being made by onr Intendant to secure contributions to help the sufferers in Waltoboro. He thinks he will secure at least $50. We had the pleasure of a call on last Saturday from Col. Earlia L. Jennings, who was in Anderson representing the Augusta Chronicle nnd Constitutionalist. Col. Jen? nings is a very pleasant gentleman, who makes many friends wherever he goes, and we were glad to learn that he had succeeded in obtaining a good number of subscribers at this place to the very excellent journal he represents. Indeed, we can truly say that the Chronicle end Constitutionalist is one of the most progressive, enterprising, read? able and reliable papers in the whole coun? try. It and its accomplished agent have our best wishes for prosperity. A jail deliver}' was attempted on last Thursday morning. While a man was cleaning out the prisoners' rooms, Mr. John McConnell, a son of Sheriff McConnell, was at the upper door, the lower entrance being open. Joe Arnold, a colored man charged with participation in the Franklin murder in Abbeville County, broke by young Mr. McConnell and effected his es? cape from the jail enclosure. Another prisoner started out, but the young man closed the door and stopped him. Vigorous pursuit was made after Arnold, who had fled in the direction of Generostee swamps, and after a short and exciting chase Mr. Joseph R. Fant, our efficient Chief of Po? lice, overhauled the fugitive, who was re? turned to his former quarters, where ho will be more rigorously confined until time for his trial. This affair tends to strengthen the already extensive belief that he is guilty of the offence which is charged against him. A difficulty occurred between two colored men at Belton on lout Sunday, which, bad it not been for a hard head, might have furnished us a murder case for the next Court. We have not been able to learn the facts as to the cause of the altercation, but understand that the difficulty was com? menced on Saturday, when there was a show of knives. They were prevented from coming together at that time, however, but from subsequent developments it seems they were not satisfied, and sought the first opportunity of adjusting matters on their own terms. They met on Sunday, and after exchanging a few blows one of them drew a pistol and shot the other directly in the forehead, the ball ranging upward atid simply cutting the skin back to the crown of his head. It is fortunate for both parties that he was ahnt in the head, for had it been elsewhere it would doubtless have been fatal. A thick skull in some ease> is to be desired. C. A. Reed, Agent, continues to do a large hat trade. He keeps a large and well assor? ted stock, and his prices are lower than any retail prices anywhere. * Deaths. We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Jane Russell, wife of Mr. W. W. Russell, which occurred at the residence of her hus? band near Sandy Springs in this County on last Monday morning, after an illness of several weeks. Mrs. Russell was the daughter of Mr. John B. Sitton, of Pendlc tou, aud a most jxcellent and amiable lady, in the midst of a responsible and useful life, which has-been terminated by an un? timely death, which desolates a happy home, and leaves a fond husband and seven little children to mourn the irreparable loss they have sustained. Mrs. Russell was a member of the Pendleton Presbyterian Church, and as such was a pure and con? sistent Christian, possessed of those virtues which not only adorn the wife, the mother and the member of society, but also befits their possessor for the higher and better sphere of action beyond this world. Death is always sad. It continually bathes its tracks in the tears of desolate friends, and creates an aching void in the hearts of stricken loved ones. If, however, it is possible to make comparisons of its mourn? ful work, the saddest death is that which removes from a family of little Ones the tender love and anxious care of a Christian mother. The stricken family has the most sincere sympathy of the entire community in their sore bereavement. It becomes our sad duty this week to place on record the death of a promising young man of Anderson, and one who had just fairly entered upon the journey of life. On last Monday morning about C o'clock Mr. John G. Murrah breathed his last, in the 24th year of his age, after a long and tedious illness of consumption. He was a son of Mr. E. F. Murrah, of our town, and had been unable to engage in any active business for more than a year past, and for several months had been confined to the house. He was a young man of many noble traits of character, and possessed in on eminent degree the friendship and confi? dence of all who knew him. -He was of a quiet and retired disposition, and mingled little with even those of his own age. He was moral, temperate and upright in every respect, and was possessed of a warm heart, generous impulses and friendly, nature. His remains were interred in the Presby? terian cemetery, after solemn and impress ivb funeral services by Dr. Frierson, on Tuesday afternoon, in the presence of many sorrowing relatives and friends. T. M. C. A. Beading Room. The Young Men's Christian Association are discussing the propriety of establishing a Reading Room in Anderson for the use of the public, and a meeting to take final action upon the subject is to be held in Temperance Hall on next Tuesday night at 8 o'clock, which all of the citizens of An? derson are invited to attend. The end in view Is certainly c very important and de? sirable one, if our people will but think of it. If successfully opened it would afford access to the most interesting literature of the day, which would place valuable infor? mation in the reach of very many who have not now the means to supply them? selves with books and periodicals. It would give to all a very great and instruc? tive variety of reading for a comparatively small amount of money. It would afford the young men of the town a resort, where they would find charming literature and good company, and thus induce many of them to forsake associations which are un? profitable, to say the least of them. They would thus frequent a place the influences from which would be refining and improv? ing. Not only this, but the boys who are approaching the age of manhood would find in it amusements more profitable than playing marbles or other occupations of a more questionable character, in which their parents in many instances have no idea their sons are participants. In fact, we think such a reading room, well supplied with choice literature, would be a great ad? vantage to the younger people of the town, as well as to such of the older citizens as may have time or inclination to avail them? selves of the opportunities it will present. We hope," therefore, that the older citizens and business men will take an interest in this enterprise, and assist its accomplish? ment by their advice and by liberal contri? butions to it. It will both gratify and im? prove their sons, their clerks and them? selves if tbey wish. It will give travelers and visitors in our midst an agreeable place to spend a few leisure hours. It will be an improvement to the town, supplying a great need, the benefits to result from which will many times repay all the contributions that may be made, and that too in a great variety of ways. Household and Farmer's Cyclopedia. This is an excellent book of one hundred thousand facts for the people by Daniel R. Shafer, A. M., a writer of experience and ability. It is profusely illustrated, and contains very valuable matter upon all practical questions. In its live stock de? partment, the diseases and remedies of horses, cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, bees, &c, are well treated. In the farm, the pro? duction of crops, the management of the diary and curing and storing recehe that attention which their importance demands. The garden and the orchard are also duly considered. It contains business forms useful to farmers and all others who have contracts, notes, receipts or other legal papers to draw up. The laws of health are also treated, together with many other sub? jects. It is sold by subscription only, and is represented here by Mr. D. Crosby, who will take pleasure in receiving subscriptions and furnishing the book. Its price is very moderate, and all who wish to do so can procure it. Pendleton. Pendleton contributed sonic seventeen dollars to the Waltcrboro' sufferers.Our worthy fellow-towns.aanr J. D. Smith, Esq., came very near having a serious acci? dent a few days ago. In crossing a fence he slipped, fell and broke the end of his collar-bone.Several Pendletonians took advantage of the excursion to Charleston to see the Charleston fair-flowers.Pendle? ton is having an attack of debating fever, and one Is agreeably surprised, on attending the meetings of the society, to hear our young orators ventilate both sides of the questions under discussion. Their im? provement in the short time they have been organized is remarkable, and promises in the near future to afford instruction as well as amusement to our quiet little Burg. The meetings are presided over by Mr. Mc Caulay, the teacher at the academy. And our "blushing buds of eloquence" submit their arguments to his able criticism, as well as that of the young ladies, who never fail to grace the public meetings with ihcir presence. Exe. Railroad Meeting. Ma. Editor : There will be a meeting of the corporators of the Savannah Volley Railroad at Lowudesville on the 7th of May next, and we desire to call attention to the importance of this meeting. Then it is expected to fix the amount of the subscrip? tion of each township, the time of voting on the question of subscription apd to arrange for presenting the matter before the people. It 1s desirable that even- corporator will be present to contribute his aid and in? fluence to an auspicious inauguration of this great enterprise. If our people desire a Railroad, now is the time to let it be known. Railroad. Anderson. S. C, April 30, 1879. Y. M. C. A. Stato Convention. The fourth annual State Convention of the Young Men's Christian Associations of Souti: Carolina met in Anderson April 24. A devotional meeting was held Thursday evening in the Association Room, at G o'clock, led by Mr. Cree, of New York, at which all the delegates were present. The subject of the meeting was prayer for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The welcome meeting was held in the Methodist Church at 8 o'clock, a large audience being present. After the opening devotional exercises, an address of welcome, in behalf of the An? derson Association, was delivered by Mr. L. P. Smith. He said: If my own heart is a true index to the feelings of our Associa? tion, you are truly welcome. We welcome you as members of a common brotherhood, and as workers in the same cause. We are all trying to reach out after young men. As the sentiment with which we would greet you, let us all sing "Blest be the tie that binds," and, as wo sing, let us pray that, while bound by kindred ties, we may be united in common love to our Heavenly Father. Mr. G. F. Tolly followed in behalf of the town, and said: I know you to be true, earnest and faithful Christian workers, and as such I welcome you to our town. I re? member the former State Conventions and the work that was done at tbem, and I tender the delegates to this Convention, in behalf of our citizens, a warm and cordial welcome. We appreciate the catholic spirit of the Association; the broad and noble platform on which you stand, and the pious zeal of your active workers. You come freighted with valuable information, which we want to get, and we trust the meeting may be blessed to you as well as to us. Mr. E. B. Murray spoke, representing the press. He said that he had been as? signed the pleasant duty of welcoming the Association on the part of the Press, he sup? posed because the highest and noblest aims of the press of the country are to elevate and moralize mankind, and therefore it was recognized as in sympathy with the exalted purposes of the Young Men's Christian As? sociation. He said that all Christians, yes all well-wishers of humanity, welcome this Convention, and appreciate the noble work in which it is engaged. He trusted the meeting would be pleasant, and that with each revolving year it would crow more in? teresting and more useful to mankind. Rev. Dr. Fricrson, of the Presbyterian Church, a representative of the Churches, said: We greet you as workers in the same cause, as fellow-soldiers fighting against evil, against intemperance and profanity, against greed and coldness, against crime and sin; as those working to build up the kingdom of God. Diversified work de? velops diversified forces. All evil that in? fects the world has one common animus, polarizes against one object?against Jesus Christ. Our enemy is strongly intrenched, ably handled, and we of the ministry re? joice to welcome any new forces coming to Otir?Jj.clp. Remember, a thousand theo? logical eyes are watching your work, too keenly perhaps. Possibly their criticisms have been too outspoken, but it warns you to be careful. Be true to your Churches, in ranks, and the ministry will recognize you as fellow-workers. Rev. Mr. Carlisle, of the Methodist Church, said: I greet you as pastor of the Methodist Church, as a minister, but, above all, as a Christian. The earnest wish of my heart is that you may be successful in your noble work. We all recognize the Church as first?it is divine in its founding and mission?but we recognize and wel? come you as the handmaid of the Church, paving the way for it. To the work of your organizations largely belongs the credit for the oneness of spirit that marks the Church of the present day, and when a new genera? tion, trained in the Associations, come to be the Church, we shall see that bond of union more strongly marked. Rev. W. H. Strickland, of the Baptist Church, said: As a pastor I am glad you have come, and I wish you a hearty God? speed in your noble work. May you be blessed in coming and we in receiving you. May the Church be quickcn?d and the com? munity aroused. When Paul, on his way to Rome, came to theThree Taverns, friends met him and they thanked God and took courage. So we trust your coming may cheer and encourage us. He closed with an exhortation to the delegates to be active in Cjristian effort in the homes as well as in the meetings. In response on the part of the Conven? tion, Mr. L. N. Zealy, of Columbia, said: The warmth of your welcome dees not sur? prise me. I expected it. I have one regret ?one who used to be with us in the work is not here to-night. I refer to Bro. H. F. Chrietzberg. Let us pray for those who have so kindly opened their homes to us that God may bless them. Wo have been blessed in previous Conventions. Let us pray for a blessing here. Let us pray for the presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit, and our Convention will be a bless? ing to us and our work. Mr. Cree, of New York, said, in response, that the criticism, while sonic of it may have been unjust, had been beneficial. That the Associations had made mistakes, but they were learning wisdom, and the ro Bult was they were stronger now through? out the South?standing better with pastors and business communities than ever before. He spoke of the need for personal effort, and closed by saying that we were here not simply as representatives of the Associa? tions, but as cmbassadors for Christ, to do what we can, and, above all, as "the sons of God," and we should bear weil the dig? nity of our position, and our lives should be such as become the members of the family to which we belonged. The meeting was a very pleasant one, and delegate and people wero deeply interested in it. FIRST DAY?FRIDAY. The morning session opened at 9 o'clock, with devotional exercises conducted by Mr. E. W. Watkins, of Charleston, after which Mr. G. F. Tolly, Vice President of the last Convention, took the Chair, and called the Convention to order. The committee on enrolling delegates reported thirty-three delegates from eleven Associations, and quite a number of corresponding members, making some forty delegates in attendance. A committee on organization was then appointed, and after deliberation reported the following officers, who were, on mo? tion, unanimously elected: President?G. F. Tolly, Anderson. Vice Presidents?L. X. Zealy, Columbia; A. C. Jones, Newberry; Geo. M. Cordes, Sumter. Recording Secretary ? G. 11. Cbisolm, Charleston. Corresponding Serretarg?E. W. Watkins, Charleston. Interesting reports were then made from the following Associations: Anderson, by L. P. Smith ; Charleston, by G. H. Chisolm ; Columbia, by W. E. A very ; Due West, by R. M. Stevenson; Greenville, by A. P. Abell. The various committees were then an? nounced by the President, after which the topic, "What is the legitimate work of our Associations?" was opened by Rev. R. C. Oliver, of Spartanburg. He said that the work of the Y. M. C. A. had been misun? derstood, and of those who ought to be its friends some were its opponents. Its workers may have been as "harmless as doves," but they had not always been as "wise as serpents." "We should not touch the ordinances of the Church; should not send out evangelists, but should engage in positive work for young men; should try to bring them to our Associations, to oar Churches and to Christ. In doing this we do much incidental work, and accomplish much good. But don't let us put the inci? dental work forward as the primary work of the Association. We can work in our jails, poor houses, colleges and destitute places. In this we develop wcrkers, and help the Churches." Mr. Watkins and others followed, mak? ing an interesting discussion of the ques? tion. In the afternoon the Convention opened with an interesting Bible Reading by Mr. F. S. Dibble, of Orangeburg, on "The Promise of God," at the conclusion of which the Convention was called to order by the President, when the Executive Com? mittee's report was read. It referred to the State work in past years, and recommended that more definite Association work should be done; that Mr. E. W. Watkins should bo employed as State Secretary, referring to his qualification for the position as exem? plified in his work in Charleston, and that the sum of $300 be raised for carrying on the State work. The following Suite Executive Committee was then chosen: T. W. Stanland, Charleston;' Rev. 0. C. Brown, G. M. Cordes, Sumter; F. F. Whil den, G. W. Mclver, Charleston; Rev. R. C. Oliver, Spartanburg; A. C. Jones, Newber ry; L. P. Smith, Anderson; J. A. Elkins, Columbia; W. A. Todd, Due West. - Mr. E. W. Watkins, of Charleston, was then choson State Secretary, and Mr. A. T. Smythe, of Charleston, Corresponding Member International Committee. The topic, "What can Associations do in small towns?" was then opened by Mr. R. Y. Leavell, of Ncwberry, who gave a good report of what a small Association was doing. He was followed by others, each of whom made practical and valuable sugges? tions on the point under consideration. "Association work in Colleges," was then opened by Mr. E. W. Haddon, of Duo West, who ably presented the importance of the work, and what might be done. He was followed by Mr. J. W. Shelor, of Wal? halla,, and others, making an interesting discussion. The Convention then adjourned to the Baptist Church?it being the regular after? noon for prayer meeting in that Church? where Mr. Creegavean interesting and in? structive Bible Reading. In the evening a large audience was in attendance, and after devotional exercises Mr. Cree, Traveling Secretary of the Inter? national Committee, made an interesting statement concerning the international work and the work of the World's Conven? tion at Geneva. The number of Associa? tions in this country, he stated, was almost 1000, with a membership of nearly 100,000, owning 5G buildings worth over two mil? lion dollars, and that 125 Secretaries are employed, giving all their time to the work. He spoke ol the railroad work, the college work, the German work and other branches of Association effort, giving a more extend? ed idea of the work and its importance than most of the delegates had entertained. Mr. L. N. Zealy then opened the topic. "The use of the Bible in Association work,-' and a most practical and profitable discus? sion of the topic followed, lasting until the session closed. SECOND DAY?SATURDAY. The morning session opened with thirty minutes devotional exercises, after which reports were made from the Associations at the following placts: Newbcrry, R. Y. Leavell; Spartanburg, R. C. Oliver; Ninety Six, C. P. Roberts; Sumter, G. M. Cordes; Walhalla, J. W. Shelor; Orangeburg, F.S. Dibble. Orangeburg was unanimously selected as the next place of meeting for the State Con? vention. The topic, "Our secular work," was then opened by Mr. E. W. Watkins, of Charles? ton, who recommended social receptions, lectures, classes, &c. "If we supply what young men want they will soon come for what we have." "The best methods of Association work" was opened by Mr. James Russell, of Co? lumbia, and way ably discussed by Revs. Strickland and Oliver and others. The subscriptions to the State work was plcasantiy conducted by Mr. Cree, who asked $200 from the Convention, and in a few minutes the Treasurer was in posses? sion of cash and personal pledges to over that amount, and before the Convention closed it amounted to some $250. At the afternoon session the committee on resolutions reported the following: Resolved, That the thanks of this Conven? tion are due, and are hereby respectfully tendered? L To the Pastors of the Baptist, Presby? terian and Methodist Churches, and to the Press, for their hearty welcome and promise of sympathy and co-operation. 2. To the railroads for reduced rates; to the Methodist and Baptist Churches for the use of their buildings; to the International Committee for sending our dear brother, T. K. Cree, to our assistance, and to him for the valuable aid rendered in the conduct of the Convention. 3. To Miss Bcttic Hubbard for presiding at the organ and conducting the music in our devotional exercises. 4. To the citizens of Anderson who have so generously and hospitably entertained us. 5. That we earnestly recommend that each Association in the State send a delegate to the International Convention at Baltimore. G. That we urge Associations and Chris? tian workers to aid brother E. W. Watkins. our State Secretary, in strengthening and building up Associations throughout the State: 7. That this Convention endorse and re commeud the Watchman, edited by W. W. Vnnarsdale, Chicago, as an agency helpful in our work, and request each Association, delegate and worker to subscribe for it, and aid in extending its circulation. 8. That the Executive Committee he au? thorized to publish the minutes of the Con? vention, provided a sufficient number of copies arc subscribed for to pay the expense of publication, such expenses to be defrayed by either subscription or advertisement. These resolutions were unanimously adopted. The topic, "Personal work for young men," was then opened by Rev. R. C. Oliver. "Our Duty to the Temperance cause" by H. G. Scudday. "How to reach the youth with our Association work" by A. P. Abell. Each topic was fully discussed by the Convention. In the evening a Praise Meeting, conduc? ted by Mr. G. F. Tolly, was held, followed by a Gospel Meeting, conducted by Rev. Mr. Oliver. A very large audience was present. THIRD DAY?SUNDAY. A Consecration Meeting was held at Temperance Hall at 8 o'clock. The room was well filled, and the meeting was a most impressive one. At 4 o'clock a meeting for young men only was held at the same place, which was conducted by Mr. Watkins.

There was a good attendance, and the meeting was conducted by Mr. Cree. The Farewell Meeting was held in the Baptist Church at 8 o'clock p. m. in the presence of a very large audience.
