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.

OBITUARY.
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!
