George A. Wagener and family, of Charleston, arrived in Anderson last week, and will spend several months with Mr. J. C. Keys. Reports of the condition of the corn and cotton crops throughout the County are encouraging. They are clear of grass, and are growing off rapidly. The attendance on Court has been pretty good, considering the time of year. But our farmers are out of the grass and can afford to take a day's rest,' The Anderson Baptist Church in confer? ence or, Sunday morning last voted its Pastor a vacation of a month or si:: weeks, to be taken during the summer. The Keowee Oourirr is much encouraged over the prospects 0/ the up-country, and thinks there is a bright future ahead of us. Read in another column what it has to say. The Palmetto Band, with a number of our citizens, were out serenading on Mon? day night. Among the number called on were Judge Aldrich and Solicitor Cothran. The through day trains from Ch irleston to the np-country seem to give very general satisfaction. The schedule is favorably spoken of in every quarter of the up-conn try. Mr. George Stewart, an aged and highly respected citizen of this County, died at his residence in the Corner township, on last Tuesday morning, after an illness of several days. Mr. H. 0. Herrick threshed a five-acre field of oats on Tuesday which yielded one hundred and ninety-five bushels; and that, too, after several head of stock had l?een fed from it for three weeks. Messrs.

It is conducted in the interest of the new Church, and the patronage of the town is solicited. Another lot of sewing machines just re? ceived by C. A. Beed, Agent, with new at? tachments and improvements. He is pre? pared to offer great inducements on his popular machines. * The wheat threshers have gone to work i n earnest, and are pushing their business with about as much energy as any set of men we evar saw. Nearly all of the thresh? ers in the County are propelled by steam, and one-tenth is the toll collected. ? The special meetings in the Baptist Church continue with increasing interest. Rev. C. H. Strickland, pastor of the Curtis Baptist Church in Augusta, Ga., and a brother of Rev. W. H. Strickland, has been assisting in. the meeting since Thursday morning last The Union Meeting of the 2nd District, Saluda Association, will convene with the Baptist Church at Belton on the second Friday in Jane. Introductory sermon will be preached by Rev. W. H. King, Doctrinal sermon by Rev. M. McGee and the Mission? ary sermon by R. W. Burts. Several patches of wheat in Anderson have been threshed during the past week, some of which made very fine yields, among them are the following: Dr. S. M. Holland's, U acres, 55 bushels; Mr. E. W. By rum's, U acrcf, 60} bushels; Mrs. V. Burress', 1J acres, 34 bushels; Mr. P. Spellman's, 11 acres, 631 bushels. Joe Arnold, the colored man that had been confined in jail at this place for sev? eral months past charged with having been connected with the murder of the Frank? lins, near Ninety-Six, some time ago, was tried in Abbeville last week and acquitted. He was defended by H. G. Scudday, Esq., of Anderson. We were favored with a call on Tuesday last from Col. Earlie L. Jennings, who is spending several days in Anderson in the interest of the Augusta. Chronicle and Consti? tutionalist, one of the best dailies in the South. To those wishing a good daily or weekly paper wo commend the sterling journal represented by Col. Jennings. The commencement exercises of Furman University begins on 8unday evening next, 15th inst, and will continue through the four days /ollowing, closing with a recep? tion by the alumni and students on Thurs? day evening. The programme is a good one, and those of our readers who contem? plate attending the exercises can count on a good time. As will be seen by reference to the proc? lamation of Governor Simpson in another column, a reward of $150 is offered by the State for the apprehension and delivery in any jail of this State of W. A. Ferguson, the murderer of Matt Hatten. Our readers will remember that the crime was commit? ted about a month or six weeks ago in the Corner township of this County, and up to this time very little effort has been made to secure bis arrest. We are pained to record the death of Miss Mary Antoinette Welborn, which occurred at the residence of her father, Mr. L. H. Welborn, of Garvin township, on Sunday afte.aoon, 8t'.i inst., after a painful illness of fifteen weeks, in the nineteenth year of her age. She was a consistent member of the Baptist Church, an accomplished and intelligent young lady and a valued mem bei of society. Her remains were interred in the graveyard at Lebanon Church on Tuesday in the presence of a large and sor? rowing congregation of relatives and friends. Judge Aldrich, of Barnwell, who is at present holding the June term of the Cir? cuit Court for Anderson County, is the only one of the old Judges of South Carolina who has been honored by a re-election to the judiciary by the Democratic party under the new Constitution. He has, by his course upon the Bench, fitly linked the old to the new, and in the discharge of his duties, both before and since reconstruc? tion, has elicited the approval and applause of tho people of South Carolina. His man? ly and dignified protest against the military usurpation which swept away the old judi? ciary was his last act under the former sys? tem, and has gone into history as an inde? pendent and eloquent speech, illustrative of the Carolina judiciary. Upon his second accession to tht Bench, one of his first ju? dicial actions was the trial of the great Bond case, in which he and Judge Thomson had the independence to oppose the pay? ment of the fraudulent bonds which were sought to be imposed as an additional bur? den upon our people, and the ability to sustain their position by a clear and able exposition of the law applicable thereto. This is Judge Aldrich's first visit to Ander? son, and by his dignity, courtesy and abili? ty he has made a very favorable impression, both upon the bar and upon our people. We have made inquiry during the past week or ten days of farmers from nearly every section of the County as to the prob? able yield of the wheat crop, which is now ripe and is being harvested and threshed, and we are gratified to state that it is the universal opinion that there has not been a finer crop of this most important cereal grown in this County for several years past, and unless some mishap should occur with? in a few days it will all be saved. The wheat crop is one of the most valuable, not only to the farmer, but to our whole people, and l: is to be hoped that the fine yield this year will render it unnecessary for us to draw on the surplus of the Northwest for our supplies of floor next winter and spring. It is a great blessing to be able to feed our? selves. The oat crop is reported to be tol? erably good- Owing to the hard winter on the fall crop and the dry spring on the spring crop, it will not yield as bountifully as the wheat. However, an average crop will be made, and that is saying a good deal for Anderson County, for our farmers for the past few years have been paying more attention to this crop than formerly. Al? though in many fields it stands thinly on the ground, and the stalk is low, the heads are large and well filled. We learn from a private letter that a col? ored man about 23 years of age, who claims to have come from this County, and who says his name is Henry Thomas, was arres? ted at Beed Creek in Hart County, Georgia, on Monday last on suspicion of having committed robbery, as he had in his posses? sion several new pistols and a quantity of clothing that had never been worn. He resisted the constabled when arrested, and quite a difficulty ensued, in which the prisoner received several painful wounds at the hands of a little boy who was called to the assistance of the constable. Thomas boasted that he could live without working, and had raised several rows in the commu? nity. He is now in jail at Hartwell, and persons desiring farther particulars can ob? tain them by communicating with Mr. S. C. Fisher, Reed Creek, Hart Connty, Ga. There aie a number of colored men about Anderson who are too trifling and lazy to earn their living by honest labor, and as a consequence resort to all manner of tricks to keep themselves in bread, among which is gambling. It has been known for some time that this practice was followed by some of them, and on last Saturday evening Mr. Joseph R. Fant, our efficient Chief of Police, succeeded in catching np with five fellows, who had secluded themselves in a vacant house near the jail, where they were carry? ing on their mischievous work. They were arrested and on Tuesday evening brought before the Council, who sent the case np to the Circuit Court, where it is hoped they will have fell justice meted oat to them. Circuit Court. The June term of the Court of General Sessions and Common Pleas for Anderson County convened on Monday last, Judge A. P.^Aldrich of the Second Circuit presiding. The commission of the Judge was read in open Court and spread upon the minutes, after which the Grand Jury was called and charged as follows by his Honor: Gestlemes of the Graxd Jury: It is very pleasant to meet you under present circumstances, and to observe the evident signs of prosperity and thrift that greet the eye all alone the lines of roads leading here. A great and oppressive load that for eight long, weary years crushed our spirits, par? alyzed our energies and almost drove us to despair has been lifted, and we breathe freely again, with renewed manhood, strong in hope, and with the resolute purpose to re? store the old State to her ancient character and dignity. And yet, there is a feeling of sadness softening and subduing these exultant an? ticipations. The hearty, the cordial grasp of your beloved Whitner, so eminontly worthy of your highest respect and esteem, is not here to greet me as in the good old days when South Carolina was the synonym of patriotic virtue, generous hospitality and high honor. How rapidly are these types of the old gentility passing away! But a few remain; here and there we see one lingering on the verge of time, waiting pa? tiently and with dignity the summons that will call him to join the companions who strove with him to build up this South Carolina civilization. I need not urge you, gentlemen, to teach your children to emulate these examples. I see all around me, every where I go, how these lessons have been inculcated. Fortu? nately for us, the children of these men were old enough to be proud of the performance of their fathers and strong enough to main? tain the family reputation. These sons ore the working men of to-day and, in emula? ting the example of their ancestors, will plant in the hearts of their children the seeds of virtue and honor, to preserve through all time the ancient reputation of their State. Our young men and young women are not ashamed to work. Virtu? ous labor dignifies the occupation. It is this that made our State great in the past; it is this that will keep her great in the fu? ture. "While congratnlating you, gentlemen, on this agreeable change of affairs, permit me to warn you not to catch too eagerly the spirit of progress now agitating the world, and attempt to go too fast. Live economi? cally: be always "a span within your in? come and you will always be able to defy the Sheriff or an adverse season. Make your own bread and meat, have enough in your bam and smoke house to carry you through the current year, and let the cotton crop be a surplus. In my experience the corn planters generally had money to lend, while the cotton planters who went on the theory that the acres in corn produce as much in cotton as would buy twice the amount of provisions they would need were ever borrowing, worked lean farm an? imals and many of them came to the Sher? iff's block. As Governor Vance truly said at the last State fair, you will never prosper as long as you keep your corn cribs and smokehouses in the West. God has given us a splendid country?salubrious climate, generous soil, magnificent water power, with the staple growing at the door. What more do we want? With energy, will and persistent labor, South Carolina can, in a few years, look back on this nightmare from which we are awakening, and rejoice in her renewed and increased prosperity. But to do this we must be just?scrupu? lously, eminently just. You must see that the laws are faithfully, firmly aud imparti? ally administered. In that box you know no man, whether he be high or low, rich or poor, white or black; they are all citizens of the State and alike amenable to tho law. See that you make no distinction! When we came home in 18G5 our State presented the very picture of desolation. Homestead, barns, machinery, fences, all devoured by the llanies. Horses, mules, stock of every description driven off. No money to purchase even the necessaries of life, famine stared us in the face and black despair settled on the heart. I declare to you, gentlemen, when I look back and think of those dark days, I am lost in won? der and astonishment. The question con? stantly recurs, How did we ln-e? Thank God! the noble women who foiled so cour? ageously through the war to support the army in the field had not lost their faith and courage, their constancy; their heroic example stimulated us to action. Soon the fields were enclosed and the old war-horse was turning up the furrows to plant a crop to keep the wolf, famine, from the door. God answered their pure, earnest prayers and blessed our efforts. By 1808 we had commenced again to live and prosper.? Then came what was worse than war and conflagration. The alien and servile rule from which we have lately delivered our? selves. Let us not dwell on the humiliation, the mortification of these eight years of* misery, fraud and plunder; but draw from that period of degradation this lesson: If in those eight years of misrule and frightful exaction, we were able to bear up and pre? serve our manhood and our property, what may we not do under a benign and just governmentT Think of this, gentlemen, and I am sure yon will agree with me that there is a future for South Carolina to rival if not surpass her past. On this occasion I deem it necessary to call attention to the oath you have taken, not because of any information that there is cause to do so in this County, but because the provisions of the oath have not been observed in some sections of the State, so far as it relates to secrecy. It has happened that it gets out how the Jury stood and what was said and done in the Grand Jury room, which defeats the object of the law. It often occurs that some influential man in a community violates the law, and yet from his power and position no one is willing to incur bis enmity by prosecuting him. It then becomes the duty of the Grand Jury to present the case, but if it is liable to be told who presents the case, no one may be found who is willing to report the violation of the law for fear that such action would produce a breach between them. It is therefore of the greatest importance that the whole of the proceedings in your room shall be kept entirely secret from all persons who are not on your panel, not only during the term of the Court, but ever afterwards. Great injustice has heretofore been done in the Courts of this State in consequence of incompetent juries, which have been large? ly made up of improper persons. The law of this State provides that our juries shall be composed of men of good character, in? telligence and free from legal exceptions. Instead of this, I have seen the most igno? rant and incompetent juries trying the most important cases. In one instance I remember to have seen a case involving the hand-writing of a will in an estate worth a large sum, and on that jury sat eleven igno? rant colored men, who could neither read nor write, and one white man. Under the law there should be none but the best men summoned on our juries, and the board of jury commissioners should not put any man's name on the list unless they know him to be a man of good character, intelligent and free from legal exceptions. I am high? ly gratified to see a marked improvement in this respect all over the State. It is always a pleasure to mo to see colored men who are suitable and capable of rendering jury service, and wherever there are those of this race who possess these qualifications they shonld be placed on the jury lists as an en? couragement and reward for their attain? ments and character. You have all of the County officers under your supervision, and can send for them and inspect their books and the manner in which their duties are performed. You should look over these officers, from the highest to the lowest. See that your roads, condition. Look into the manner in wliich yoar free schools are conducted, and into the expenditure of your finances. These are important matters, and deserve your proper consideration. I congratulate you upon the beautiful and prosperous appearance of your County. It is pleasant to note the evidences of your success and industry. I attribute much of it to the adoption of the change in your mode of fencing commonly called the stock law. Mr. Calhoun demonstrated fifty years ago that our fences were an increasing ex? pense, the cost of which would educate our children and keep up our stock. Thus, after fifty years, we nave been driven by necessity to do what it would have been expedient for us to have done at that time. The Petit Juries were then organized with Mr. S. M. Crayton foreman of Jury No. 1, and Capt. J. J. Mattison foreman of Jury No. 2. Solicitor Cothran was present, and gave out several bills of indictment. The first case tried was that of the State vs. James Kinnman, colored, for assault and battery with intent to kill. The Solic? itor represented the State and H. Gaines Scudday, Esq., the defendant. Verdict, gnilty. The next case was that of the State vs. Thomas Seizemore for assault with intent to kill. The Solicitor represented the State and H. Gaines Scudday, Esq., the defen? dant. Verdict, guilty. bridges and public building! The next case was that of the State vs. Pickens Rutledge and Gilbert Rutlcdge, colored, for grand larceny The State was represented by the Solicitor and the defen? dants by Messrs. Orr & Tribble and T..D. Kennedy, Esq. The jury brought in a ver? dict of not guilty, as they found the prop? erty taken to be worth less than twenty dollars. The next case tried was the State vs. Dock Sloan, Anthony McCorbin, Oliver Caldwcll, Thomas Garrett, Hiram Thomson, D. New? ell, John Black, Neal Cowan, Charles Brownlee, Andrew Caldwell and Allen Devlin for riot and assault and battery. Col. Cothran represented the State, and H. Gaines Scudday, Esq., the prisoners. After the testimony was taken, the Solicitor stated that he would not ask a conviction of Hi? ram Thompson, D. Newell, John Black, Neal Cowan, Charlie Brownlee and Andrew Caldwell, and they were acquitted. Oliver Caldwell, Anthony McCorbin and Thomas Garrett were convicted. Dock Sloan and Al? len Devlin were not on trial. This case was for an outrageous beating of Allen Richardson a colored Democrat in Martin townslup some two months ago. The next case tried was that of the State vs. Henry Davis for rape. The State was represented by the Solicitor and the .prison? er bv H. Gaines Scudday, Esq. Verdict guil? ty. The next case tried was the State vs. Per? ry Keys, for desturbing a religious meeting. The Solicitor represented the State, John E. Breazeale, Esq., tho Defendant. Verdict not guilty. Tho jury will be discharged to-day and the Court will conclude its business to-mor? row. Judge Aldrich has disposed of tha term rapidly, and has throughout maintain? ed an even temper and dignified demeanor which has rendered the term pleasant to all who have been present at tho sessions of the Court. Honca Path. "My patience!" exclaimed the postmaster here the other Thursday morning upon taking up the mail-bag at the "down train." "What makes such a difference in tho weight of this pouch ?" "Oh," said a by? stander, "Don't you know this is the morn? ing for the Andeeson Intellicexceh !" Yes, indeed, that accounts for it. Now, I wish to say to all your readers, and especially to this large number at the Honea Path office, that this little place is not behind in many particulars. Wo want them to know that Mr. D. S. McCullough did thresh one hundred and thirty-five bushels of oats from tho one and one-sixth acres of ground of which we wroto in last week's issue of your paper. That Mr. G. M. Grecr don't boast that he has a larger fist than any one else, but that he does have watermelons already as large as his fist. And in fishing parties, the States can't boast of a more enjoyable day than last Thursday was to the participants of the one engaged in near here by Prafcssor II. G. Heed's school, and a number of both old and young people from this and other communities. There was present a minis? ter and his wife who, though advanced in years, had never been at a fishing party before; and the Preacher was so delighted as to express regret that he had ncvercn joyed other similar assemblages. The im? mediate result of the party was the taking of over 5U0 of the "finny" tribe, partaking of what all conceded to be the most elegant dinner any of them have ever indulged in, and having spent a day long to be remem? bered. Tho future will, perhaps, develop the part which Hymen is to play as another result of this gathering. Ttp.o. Anderson Market Reports.

Departed this life, in the full communion of the Presbyterian Church, JANIE M., the beloved wife of Walker W. Russell, of Pendleton, S. C, and the tender, loving mother of six little children who can never know what thev have lost. Of very supe? rior mental endowments, she had also the highest gifts of character?gentleness allied to firmness; patience, joined with energy and force, unselfishness, constancy, and unswerving truth. Clear in her perceptions, ready in the acquisition of knowledge and having a sound judgment, yet was her or? nament that meek and quiet spirit which in the sight of God is of great price, and which, for a husband and a family, makes a real and true home. Her last illness was of the most intense and protracted sufferings, borne with un? complaining cheerfulness and fortitude. She obtained her release Monday, April 28, 1879, at the ago of thirty-three, and after a married life of thirteen years. She is not dead, because Christ has abol? ished death for all His people, but she sleeps in Jesus. Her emancipated spirit we cannot doubt is with her Lord. Her body, still united to Christ rests in her grave in the old Stone Church yard until the resur? rection morning, when it shall bo quickened through the Spirit who dwells in us. When in answer to her question the phy? sician told her she was dying, all her re? maining strength was summoned to be spent in an hour of counsels, exhortations, and prayers for the dear ones surrounding her bed. It was a melting and yet a tri? umphant scene Not a minute did she sur? vive her last words: "It is hard to die, but sweet to die in Jesus." And so she depart? ed to be with Christ, which is far better! J. B. A. Greenville and Columbia Railroad. CHANGE OF SCHEDULE.
