TEE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL. MATTERS. BRIEF MENTION. Every section of the County has had good rains during the past week. Several of the Belton ladies came to An? derson on Tuesday to do their shopping. Dr. A. P. Johnstone has been confined to his bed for several days by the disability of a limb. Judge Reed, accompanied by his estima? ble wife, has gone to Charleston for medical treatment. The regular monthly service of New Pros? pect Church has been changed from the first to the second Sunday. If you want a straw hat cheap, call on C A. Reed, Agent. He still has a good assort? ment of felt and stiff hats also. * Mr. Julius A. Daniels is in Washington looking after the patenting of a very valua? ble invention recently made by him. The corner stone recently laid in the new Presbyterian Church was presented to the building committee by Mr. John Kaufman. It cost $25. Considerable amount of hail, we are in? formed, fell at Belton on Friday afternoon. The damage to the gardens and crops was very slight, however. S Mr. D. S. Maxwell is improving his resi? dence on Main Street by the addition of a front piazza, which will contribute to its appearance and comfort. Attention is called to the change in the advertisement of Messrs. McCnlly &. Taylor in this issue. They want all parties who have not settled for guano to call and do so immediately. The temperance workers in this County are making strenuous efforts to revive ail the dormant Divisions within its limits, as well as to establish new ones in every sec? tion where there is none. Appointments of the Y. M. C. A. for next Sunday: To conduct the afternoon meeting, G. F. Tolly; Poor House Committee, John H. Clarke, H. G.Scndday; Jail Committee, Jobn W. Todd, W. D. Marony. We had the pleasure of meeting Hon. John Wilson in Anderson on Wetlnesday morning," and are much gratified to report that he has entirely recovered from his re? cent illness and is rapidly regaining his usual strength. We return onr thanks to Mrs. James W. Poore, of Belton, for a delicious treat of May cherries last week. They were very fine, and all the more appreciated becanse they are the only ones we have seen during the present season. Rev. L. M. Aver, of Murfreesboro, Tenn., formerly pastor of'the Baptist Church at this place, is in our midst visiting relatives and friends. He preached an excellent ser mo l in the Baptist Church on Sunday last 1*1 a large congregation. Another lot of sewing machines just re? ceived by C. A. Reed, Agent, with new at? tachments and improvements. He is pre? pared to offer great inducements on his popular machines. ? On and after Monday next the stores will close in the afternoon at 6 o'clock, Saturday excepted. This arrangement will continue during the dull season, and persons having business with our merchants should re member to attend to it before the hour des? ignated. We were shown on Monday last by Capt. J. Pink Reed pen drawings of his great grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Halbert, made, it is supposed, about seventy-five or eighty years ago. The drawings are still distinct, and give a general outline of their features. They have been dead about sixty years. The Palmetto Riflemen are very lavish in their praises of the manner in which the Richland Volunteers received and treated them on their recent trip to Columbia On Tuesday morning they were presented with a beautiful wreath of flowers and ever? greens by Mrs. John T. Sloan, of tvhich they are quite proud. Ninety-Six Guardian: The Anderson band played several beautiful airs at this place on their return from Columbia. We are not a "betting man," nor are we prac? ticed in the divine art of music, but we would be willing to stake a small sum, at least, and have it proven, that the Anderson band is the best in the up-count-y. Anderson Division, Sons of Temperance, will celebrate its twelfth anniversary, which comes on Thursday, 29th instant, by a pub? lic meeting in the Court House on the even? ing of that day, at which addresses will be made by Rev.'W. H. Strickland and probj ably others. The meeting will doubtless be a pleasant one, and it is hoped our citi? zens will turn out. The Dime Reading at the residence of Rev. Mr. Strickland on Tuesday evening was quite a pleasant occasion. About fifty or sixty persons were present. The Evans Comet Band discoursed sweet music, solos and quartctts were sung und selections were read by two ladies and two gentlemen. All were pleased, and the meeting dispersed as the town clock struck ten. We would call attention to the cotton gin sharpener which is advertised by Mr. B. F. Wilson. It is a most excellent invention, and will do the very best kind of work. Mr. Wilson is a thorough mechanic, and persons cannot make better arrangements than to secure him to sharpen their gins. Send your orders to him or to Mr. F. G. Massey ot Anderson C. H., S. C. Resolutions were adopted by the Baptist S today school on Sunday morning tender? ing thanks to the fair association for the use of their grounds and building for their pic? nic on Saturday, to the Evans Cornet Band, for furnishing music for the occasion, to Mr. F. M. Murphy for conveying the band to the fair grounds and return, and to the various committees of arrangements. Rev. J. L. Martin, pastor of the Presby? terian Church at Abbeville, spent several days in Anderson during the past week, embracing Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and preached four or five excellent sermons in Dr. Frierson's Church. He possesses rare gifts as a minister, and his sermons made deep impressions on those who heard them. Three add^jjous were made to the Church on Sunday. We learn that Mr. A. T. Bennett died at his home in Fayctte County, Texas, in the seventy-third year of his age. on the nth of this month, after a long and painful illness, which he bore with Christian fortitude. He was an excellent gentleman, and was highly esteemed. Having originally been a citizen of this County, he has many friends here who will hear with regret that the long and honorable life of their friend has termi? nated. The more scientific medicine frees itself from the false theories of the past, the brighter appear the virtue* of Dr. Harter's Liver Pills and Dr. Harter*? Fever and Ague Specific. The Hopcwell Division, Sons of Temper? ance, which has been reoiganized, was put in working order on lost Saturday by the installation of its officers by Grand Worthy Patriarch G. F. Tolly. After the installa? tion, addresses were made by Messrs. G. F. Tolly and E. B. Murray upon the subject of temperance. Twenty-fire members were present, and vigorous efforts to increase the number were resolved upon. Saturday, the 31st instant, at 4 o'clock p. m., was agreed upon as the time for the next meeting of the Division. A Division of the Sons of Temperance was organized at Mountain Creek Church on last Satuiday afternoon by Deputy Grand Worthy Patriarch R. R. Todd and Deputy Grand Conductor H. G. Scudday. The following are the officers elected: W. G. Watson, W. P.; J. L. 0. Shaw, W. A.; Miss Maggie Dannelly, R. S.; Miss Mattie Burriss, A. R. S.; J. L Glenn, F. S.; N. C. Burriss, T.; Wm. Keat, Chap.; R. H. Bur? riss, Con.; R. C. Cunningham, A. C.; Miss C. E. Glenn, LS.; W. S. Shaw, P. W. P. A public meeting will be held at the same place on next Saturday afternoon, when several addresses on the subject of temper? ance will be made. We regret to announce the death of Mr. Amos Acker, which occurred at the resi? dence of his son, Capt. R. V. Acker, of Williamston, in this County, on last Satur? day morning, at the advanced age of about eighty-seven years. Mr. Acker was a na? tive of Anderson County, and has spent his life in the pursuit of agriculture in our midst. He was a useful and respected citi? zen, and belonged to one of the most exten? sive and influential families of the County. He raised seven children, a portion of whom live in our midst as respected citizens, and others have sought homes and succeeded in the West. Mr. Acker was upright in his life, and leaves behind him many friends and relatives who regret his death. The picnic of the Baptist Sunday school on last Saturday was a pleasant occasion. In consequence of a heavy rain early in the moming it was thought best not to have it at Silver Brook, as first intended, and ap? plication was made for the use of the fair grounds, which were kindly tendered.? About eleven o'clock a large number of children, with a dozen or two of older peo? ple, assembled at that place, and soon the surroundings resounded with merry, happy voices, every one seeming to enter into the pleasures of th? day with more than usual interest. The dinner, which was spread about 3 o'clock, was one of the finest we ever saw at a ;>icuic, and was, of course, much enjoyed by all present. The Evans Cornet Band was present, and added much to the pleasures of the day by discoursing sweet music. The party dispersed about 5 o'clock._ Misrepresenting Ladies. The Abbeville Medium some weeks ago took grave offense at a paragraph in the In? telligences, about the town of Abbeville, and although we did not see that the con? struction of our contemporary was neces? sary, as it was a possible construction, we felt called upon to make a proper explana? tion or apology, which the Medium passed over in silence. We did not think then that our contemporary, who manifested such a refined sense of propriety on that occasion, would ever be guilty of the perpe? tration of a similar grossness, but his issue lost week bos convinced us that our esti? mate of his consistency was very much higher than the true state of the case war? rants us to longer entertain. Under the head of "The Crusade" the Medium says : It 1> 'aid that the ladles of Anderson and Wll llanuion ore planning a regular crusade against the whiskey shops at Belton, and the bar-keepers are becoming somewhat exercised over tho "im? pending crisis," and are beginning to devise ways and means by which to circumvent the purposes of their foes. The bar-rooms at Belton are not worse than other such places all over the countrr, and there is no reason why they should be mode an example of more than other liquor dens; but a start has to be mode somewhere, and Belton is as good a place to begin reform as we know of. From there, of course, the crusaders wIU "cany the war into Africa" and go straight to Greenville. They will find plenty of work all through that section of the State. The women can cure the great crime of intemperance if they will go to work at it right, bat much cannot be made By charging the bar? rooms In perxon. In this way tbey lose their wo? manly dignity, and meet a devil that cannot be cast out by any number of Sunday school hymns and machine poetry. The place to begin the eure is In the family circle and at the social gathering. Will the Medium do us the favor to give its authority for this statement by telling where and by whom such a ridiculous and utterly groundless statement about the ladies of Anderson and Williamston has been made ? Our contemporary in publish? ing such on artie'e has laid himself open to very severe criticism, for to misrepresent and in print slur the ladies of two refined and intelligent communities is neither gal? lant nor is it witty, and our contemporary is in poor business when he so far forgets the proprieties of journalism as to engage in such scribbling. We are sure our friends of the Medium wrote the paragraph quoted in? considerately, and therefore shull not con? demn it in the measure we would do if it were deliberately written with the inten? tion of conveying the insult into which ninety-nine out of every kundred readers would construe it. The Medium must know the people of Anderson and Williamston well enough to know that the ladies of these towns would be so far from pursuing the course he imputes to tbem as the ladies of the refined town of Abbeville or any other community in the South, and should therefore make proper amends for the thoughtless article of last week by retract ng it._ A Freak of Electricity. A severe thunder storm passed over An? derson on last Saturday morning, during which several strokes of lightning came to the ground within the limits of the town. None of them, however, did any damage except one, which struek the residence of Mr. Julius Poppe, in the southern portion of the town. The house is protected by two well insulated hollow copper lightning rods, and upon one of the points of these rods the stroke descended. The point of the rod was sufficiently melted to droop over, and the charge evidently being great? er than the capacity of the conductor, divid? ed, a portion going down the rod and the remainder playing off and following the wet roof to the boxing of the rear room on the north, were it entered, puncturing a hole in the brick wall sufficient for a man to put his finger in. It thence passed along the ceiling to the partition of the front room, where it again pierced a hole and pursued the ceiling to the front wall, which a portion of it also pierced in turn, and es? caped into the air, or ran down the wall to the ground. Another portion passed through the entry walls into the parlor on the South, where it sought out the gilt picture frames rod melted the gilt in streaks. Mr. and Mrs. Poppe were in the room where the light? ning entered, but were not shocked nor hurt in any way except being deafened for I a time by the concussion. This occurrence has produced a great deal of interesting dis? cussion, as the course of the electric fluid is very difficult to account for. The opinion, however, js very generally entertained that, hollow copper lightning rods are not suffi? cient conductors for large strokes of elec? tricity, and that the house which has them is in all probability more endangered than protected by them, for they attract the dis? charge and are not able to carry it off when it l?i received. Periodic or Intermittent Fevers and Fe? ver and Ague, together with other miasmatic diseases, all have a common Malarial ori? gin No part of the Mississippi Valley is entirely free from them, yet they may he either ptevented or cured by the use of Dr. Harter's Fever and Ague Specific an I Liver Pills Homicide. On Wednesday, the 14th inst., n young man by the name of William Ferguson shot and killed a colored woman by the name of Matt or Betsy Hatton, in the Cross Roads settlement, under the most unjusti? fiable circumstances, so far as they appear at present. It seems from the testimony taken at the inquest, that the woman had circulated certain charges against Ferguson and another man, which Ferguson tried to make her retract. This she refused to do, whereupon he shot her with a gun loaded with buckshot, killing her instantly in the fi*ld where she was at work. The occur? rence is much regretted by all of the citizens of the community, and the officers of the law are using every effort to ascertain the whereabouts of Ferguson, who immediately fled the country, and secure his arrest. Governor Simpson has been written to by the proper authorities, and will no doubt offer a suitable reward for the capture of the accused. Such occurrences as this one are very much to be deplored, and are for? tunately rare in South Carolina. We have net heard Ferguson's side of the case, and therefore forbear further comment until the judicial investigation is had, for any judg? ment formed on ex parte testimony is liable to do injustice to the party accused. Shall We Have a Rending; Room ? Mr. Editor: This question has received the prayerful attention of our Y. M. 0. Association. Recognizing as they do the highly social nature of young men-, they propose to establish a place where young men can spend their leisure hours and evenings in reading religious and secular newspapers, good books and periodicals, and enjoy them. Rooms where young men will be welcomed with kind words and Christian greetings, surrounded with genial, wholesome influence, and a lively, social Christian atmosphere, where they can enjoy literary culture, either as a means of im? provement or recreation?in a word, to create a resort, where the young men will be safe from the snares, temptation and contamination of the world, that drag tbem down to death, and jeopardize the best in? terests of their immortal souls. To accom? plish this requires money, at least $100 a year is necessary for the maintenance of the rooms, rent, lights and a supply of reading matter. ? The Association appeals to the citizens to assist them. Shall they ask in vain ? Does it require any argument to show that it will be money well invest? ed? What parent or what merchant would not be delighted if they were to visit these rooms and find their sons or clerks spend? ing their leisure hours among the healthful surroundings of a Y. M. C. A. Reading Room. Let our people think over this mat? ter, and when the committee of the Asso? ciation call on them, subscribe liberally, and, after the rooms are opened, supple? ment their gifts by the cheering influence of their personal presence occasionally. T. Townvlllc. Rev. J. C. Russell, pastor of the Metho? dist Churches in the Fork, is quite sick. The growing wheat throughout the town? ship is very promising, but the oat crop, particularly the spring sowing, is indiffer? ent.Mr. J. A. Gaines is preparing to con? struct in town a building for threshing and ginning purposes, the machinery for which will be propelled by steam.The heavy rains of last week caused o temporary sus? pension of farm work, but this week the farmers are unusually active, the predica? ment of "getting in the grass" being immi? nent.A party of Shallow Ford young ladies and gentlemen went on a fishing ex? cursion recently, but the gallant youths severally neglected to supply the indispen? sable element of "bait," and the result was no fish. The only conclusion that can be deduced from this remissness is that the young men were intent upon fishing for hearts, a line of business in which, by the way, the Townville boys can surpass them. Hawk eye. Mr. Editor : It was the privilege of the writer to attend the "May Festival" at Pleasant Hill Academy on Friday, the 9th this month. Quite a number of the pat? rons and friends of the school assembled at an early hour to complete the arrangements for the day. These being finished, the ex? ercises were opened with prayer by a min? ister who was present, at the close of which the scholars united in singing "Beautiful Land." A neat arbor had been erected immedi? ately in front of and adjoining the school house. The boys and girls read composi? tions that would have done credit to far older heads, both in the reading and matter of them. The boys, large and small, de? livered speeches very well indeed. Some amusing dialogues were acted. One speci? ally deserves mention: that of the school master going to sleep and the scholars put? ting snuff up his nose, then scarcely being able to hear his geography class for sneez? ing, and ending in a general row with the children. The last was crowning the Queen. Be? neath an arch and over a path of flowers Miss Nora Dean was escorted to the throne and crowned Queen of May. The pupils and all present were then invited to as fine a dinner as any one could wish. After feasting to their hearts' content, they had ?wo addresses from friends present. Miss Maggie Dannelly deserves, and rc ce"ve3, great credit as the teacher of this school. The manner in which each pupil acted his or her part reflected very favora? bly on her toil and perseverance, and the way in which the parents backed up her efforts shows that they appreciate her. With the determination, at all hazards, to employ teachers of good, moral character, and an open Bible in all our schools, we will make grand strides towards the pros? perity of our country and the final redemp? tion of the world. Visitor. Singing Convention.
