with a double column advertisement, in
which he makes some interesting state?
ments. He is pushing his business with
commendable zeal and energy, and we hope

We are requested by the Town authori?
ties to call attention to the owners of stock,
hogs, &a, that it is unlawful for them to
run at large upon our streets, and that the
law will be enforced. AU persons had,
therefore, better see to it that their property

ter effecting the County, to which it is de?
sired to call the attention of the members,
can be handed to any of them or presented
at that time.
At a meeting of the citizens of Anderson
on last Saturday the following gentlemen
were elected to represent the town of An?
derson's subscription to the Savannah Val?
ley Railroad in the meeting to be held at
Lowndesville on the 12th of November
next, viz: Messrs. W. W. Humphreys, E.
M. Rucker, B. F. Whitner, A. T. Broyles

The four Moores who are charged with
the murder of Alex. Bryce, jr., near Wal?
halla in August, and whose trial was post?
poned until the next term of the Walhalla
Court, were brought to this place on Satur?
day for safe keeping, as the jail at Walhalla

Anderson County.
Mais Street, Greenville. S. C?The
Greenville Agricultural and Mechanical
Association, at their annual Fair last week,
awarded the premium on Saddlery, Harness
and Leather to Vardry McBee, as Colum?
bia, Abbeville, Anderson and Greenville

if you want bill heads, letter heads, envel?
opes, give us a trial, and keep the money at
home. Lawyers' briefs printed iH good
style as cheap as they can be had in Colum?
bia or Charleston.
We regret to announce the death of Miss
Sallie Simpson, which occurred at the resi?
dence of her father, Mr. John M. Simpson,
at Toccoa, Go., on Wednesday, 15tb inst.,
after an iiiner? of several weeks. Her re?
mains were brought to this place on Friday
morning last, and conveyed to Robert's
Church, where they were consigned to their
final resting place. Mr. Simpson was form?
erly a citizen of this County, and has many
friends and relatives in our midst who deep?
ly sympathize with him in this bereave?
ment.
The greatest cotton-picking of which we
have heard this season was on the planta?
tion of Mr. J. P, McGee, of Hall township,
in this County. On last Thursday Mr. M.
Vance McGee picked in one day five hun?
dred and twenty-five pounds of cotton,
which makes him the champion cotton
picker of the County, and indeed, so far as
we have noticed, of the whole State. On
the same day a colored man named Howard
Kay picked 425 pounds, which was also an
extra day's work in cotton-picking.
The Fifth Avenuo Opora Company, of
New York, have agreed, in response to a re?
quest from Hon. B. F. Crayton, to render
several of their choice rrfusical selections at
the Fair Grounds this morning about 11
o'clock. This Company has elicited the
most enthusiastic praises from the press
wherever they have performed, and con?
senting to contribute to the success of our
County Fair shows that they are generous
aud public spirited. All within reach of
the Fair Grounds should attend to-day, for
the selections which this quartette are to
sing will be more than worth the gate
money.
Mrs. Sallie Sloan, wife of Dr. R. G. Sloan,
and eldest daughter of Rev. F. G. Carpenter,
died at the residence of her husband in
Williamston on last Tuesday, after a long
and painfnl illness from consumption.?
Mrs, Sloan was a very excellent lady, and
was much beloved by those with whom she
came iu contact. As a member of society
she was pleasant aud sociable, as a Chris?
tian she was pure and simple, and as a wife
she was devoted and loving. The news of
her death reaches us just as the paper is
about going to press, and we are sure its
announcement will be read with regret by
her very many relatives and friends in this
County, whose sorrow and sympathy will
be mingled with the grief of tb? immediate
family in their great loss and sore bereave?
ment.
The Fifth Avenue New York Opera Com?
pany arrived in Anderson on the 22nd inst.,
and are advertised to render, on Wednes?
day the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd inst.,
in. Temperance Hall, the new and very
Eopular Opera, "H. M. 8. Pinafore," which
as been all of the rage with theatre goers
in Europe and America for the last twelve
months. It is one of the most successful
comic operas that has ever been produced,
and is such a performance as to entertain
all without giving offense to any. The
Company which is now ? playing it in An?
derson is pronounced by competent critics
to be one of the best companies that has ever
visited this section of the State, and all who
wish to be revived by a hearty laugh should
not miss the opportunity of attending these
plays. Tick ;ts for sale at the Post Office.
In consequence of the unfavorable weath?
er, no meeting of the citizens of Varennes
township was held on last Saturday to elect
delegates to represent the subscription of
that township to the Savannah Valley Rail?
road, and we are requested to announce that
a meeting for that purpose will be held at
Flat Rock on Saturday, the first day of No?
vember, at 3 o'clock-p. m. Five delegates
are to be elected, and as it is a matter of very
great importance we hope every citizen of
the township will be present, even if he has
to make a sacrifice to do so. The money
has been voted, the township will be taxed,
and its citizens should turn out and select
good men to represent them in the organi?
zation of the Company, and to assist in be?
ginning this enterprise in the speediest and
at the same time the most judicious and
economical manner possible.
Mrs. James T. McCorkle, nee Miss Mamie
A. Smith, eldest daughter of Mr. W. G.
Smith, of Sandy Springs, died at the resi?
dence of her husband in Central on last
Friday evening after a short illness. Mrs.
McCorkle possessed manv noble qualities
for which she was beloved and admired by
her many friends and acquaintances, who
join with her family in mourning her early
death. She had been married but a short
time, and life's morning seemed bright and
joyous to her and hers. The end, however,
was nearer than any human eye could see,
and in a very few days the bloom of health
faded into the pallor of death. The change,
though sudden, did not find her unprepared
for death, and her friends rejoice in the as?
surance that the change for her is a glorious
one.
Mr. Joseph Lee, eldest son of Mai, T. B.
Lee, of this County, came near drowning
on last Saturday morning, in trying to cross
Hurricane Creek, on the Pendleton road,
six miles from this place. Mr. Lee drove
into the stream without 'anticipating any
danger. The little stream, which is not six
inches deep nor more than three feet wide
in ordinary times, was swollen to a perfect
torrent by the preceding heavy rain, and
washed his horse and buggy down and him
with it. Mr. Lee lost consciousness in the
struggle and went under. When his con?
sciousness returned he found himself upon
a drift some distance below the ford, where
the force of the stream carried him, and to
which fortunate circumstance he owes his
life. The buggy was also lodged in a turn
of the creek below, and the horse had man?
aged to extricate himself from the buggy
and was safe also. We are glad to learn
that Mr. Lee has entirely recovered from
the effects of the accident, and that the dam?
age was therefore comparatively small.
This case is one of the most fortunate mis?
fortunes that can be fouud anywhere.
The State Fair promises to be a grand
success this year, and we hope Anderson
County will again be largely represented in
its various departments. It is important to
every interest of our people that the State
Fair be well sustained, as it is an institution
from which great good will emanate. The
fare on the various railroads in the State
has been greatly reduced, so that everybody
who desires to go can do so at a compara?
tively trifling cost. The fare on the Green?
ville & Columbia Railroad will be two cents
a mile, which will make the cost of trans?
portation from Anderson only $5.04, while
all articles intended for exhibition will be
charged for at regular rates on being shipped
to Columbia, but upon being returned to
the points from which they were originally
sent the amounts charged will be remitted,
which is equivalent to free transportation.
We sincerely trust the people of this County
will sustain their past record for enterprise,
thrift and public spirit by an extensive ex?
hibition of the products of their various
industries.
The County Fair.
The Anderson County Farmers' and Me?
chanics' Fair Association opened on yester?
day, and despite the very unfavorable
weather, about seven hundred entries were
made in the various departments, and all
that is needing to make it a grand success is
clear weather. The exhibition will be a
very creditable one, and all who can do so
should attend to help make it a success.
The several races announced will take place
to-day and to-morrow.

Last night burglars broke into Mr. W. C.
McCarley s store, and carried oir a few arti?
cles of trifling value. They also tore off
tho bottom of a patent money-drawer in
qHest of the "one thing needful," but find?
ing no money therein, they apparently gave
up the search, for in an upper till was some
$25.00 within easy reach, and which was
left untouched.The same night an at?
tempt was made to force an entrance into
Messrs. Fanner <fe Bro.'s store, but for some
unknown reason the rogues desisted. A
heavy rain was falling the entire night, and
it is evident they availed themselves of that
circumstance in order more successfully to
accomplish their designs.Tho merchants
of the place have offered a reward of fifty
dollars for the apprehension of the theives.

Fair Flay.
Mr. Editoh: Thinking that pcrhai?
some of your readers would like to know
what we are doing in our little "burg," I
will let; them hear from us through your
paper.
The people herc:are*?howing;unusual in?
terest in a projected railroad from here to
Westminister or Seneca City, though the
former place seems to be preferred on ac?
count of the little grading that will have to
be done. This section of Oconoe and the
Fork of Anderson County need an outlet
badly. The whole community seems to he
greatly interested in the matter, and they
should he, too, for we have a fine farming
country, besides the best water power in the
State, not only on this side but on tho
Georgia side of Tugaloo River also. For
the people to remain idle and not build a
railroad from here to some point will be
like cutting their own throats. I think,
though, that they are fullv aroused to the
importance of such a step, for they seem de?
termined to build the road, cost what it
may. They see, too, how a railroad to this
point will enhance the value of their lands,
and enable them also to buy goods and pro?
visions cheap at homo. It is vory incon?
venient to haul cotton ten or twelve mile3.
The road will be built, and that, too, at no
distant day. It is proposed to raise the
money for the road by subscription. The
shares are put at twenty dollars each, so
that they will be in reach of every one. It
is estimated that it will take twenty thou?
sand dollars to grade the road and put down
cross ties, tbongh there are persons who
have offered to take the contract for much
less. Between one hundred and seventy
five and two hundred shares hare been
already taken up, and there are daily appli?
cations for shares. All persons that have
subscribed so far say that, if necessary, they
will double the number of shares already
taken by them. Mr. D. H. Glenn has
taken fifty shares alone, and says that be?
fore the road shall fall through he will take
one hundred more. Thero are several
others who propose to give largely to the
road. This much has been done by Fair
Play and the surrounding country, and it is
thought that Westminister, if the road is
run to that point, will subscribe liberally.
South Union and Oakway will do their
duty beyond a doubt, besides we will re?
ceive aid from the Georgia side of Tugaloo.
When enough money has been subscribed
to grade the road and put down the ties, it
has been proposed to turn it over to some
corporation to put down the iron and fur?
nish the rolling stock. Col. R. E. Mason
will be sent to Atlanta this week to confer
with the authorities of the Air Line Rail?
road for that purpose. A meeting will soon
be called to put the whole matter in a more
business-like shape, and to determine
whether the road will be run to Westmin?
ister or Seneca City. A. charter will be ap?
plied for at the earliest day possible. It is
not proposed to make this the terminus of
the road, but to extend it to Andersonville,
at the junction of the Seneca and Tugaloo
Rivers, in your County. The people of the
whole Fork seem to be interested in this
road, and it is expected that they will sub?
scribe liberally. Mr. G. W. Mar et seems to
be exerting himself very much in this en?
terprise, and no doubt he will do good work
in its behalf. We have the proper soil and
a healthy climate, and only need a railroad
and emigrants to make this the best form?
ing section of South Carolina.
I understand that our sister town, Town
ville, is trying to get up a railroad. I wish
her all the success possible, but this section
will hardly support two roods, and I fear
that she is too far distanced to do any thing
in the matter.
It is estimated that the cotton crop will
not make more than a half yield as com?
pared with last year, though there are great
many August and early September boRs
that will mature, if frost does not put in too
early an appearance, and thus swell the
yield a little.
The corn crop on bottom lands is very
good, and will make a yield fully up to last
year's, but the upland corn is very poor,
and will bring the average down pretty low.
There seemB to be a tendency to sow large
small grain crops. By this means the for?
mers will be able to get through another
year more easily, as tho small grain will
take the place of corn.
Mr. W. J. Hix has a very fine pea crop.
He has ten acres of the finest ever grown in
this section, that is, it; is so reported by old
farmers.
Col. W. W. Holland is doing good work
at his gin, and is consequently kept busy.
Mr. G. M. R. Bollman has had a fine
school in the Fork. Reports give him the
name of being a fine instructor, and I wish
him success in his profession.
The "fence question" is being ngitated
here. There is a good deal of talk about it,
but very little action so far. There, was a
meeting at Seneca City to discuss the subject
on Saturday, October 11th, but I have heard
nothing from it. While the law will not
suit the mountain portion of Oconeo, I be?
lieve that it would be a good thing for this
section of the county. I guess that steps
will soon be taken to test the matter in the
townships below the Air Lino Railroad. I
do not see why the people hesitate, when
they seo it working so well in other coun?
ties. C.

Tho Milledgville Union and Recorder of
yesterday publishes a brief account of a
deplorable, statoof affairs in tho county
of Baldwin?in th&t section lying east of
the Oconeo River. It appears that this
particular section has for some timo been
tho abode of a gang of men for whom all
law-abididg citizens entertain tho gravest
fears, and justly, for tho klan do not hes?
itate to kill whon it suits their purposo to
kill, and burn when it comes in their
way to burn. Many dark and bloody
deeds have been committed by this band,
whoso retreats are said to be sccuro in
tho fastness of dense swamps which
fringe tho Oconee and its tributaries.
Tho latest outrages by those despera?
does, whilo they do not surpass others of
thosamo character, are thrilling in tho
extromo. From our contomeporary we
gather that Cicero Gordon, a nogro, is
their last victim; and it appears that ho
was put out of the way to suit a purpose,
and that purposo was to get rid of his
evidence against them, he having boon
summoned before a court of justice as a
witness. Suffice it that Gordon was re?
turning to his homo from Milledgeville,
when he was waylaid in a dark ravine,
his body riddled with bullet?, and his
corpse left on the road where it fell. Pro?
ceeding then to the plantation of a well
to-do citizen. Dr. J. A. P. Robson?
whereon Gordon was a tenant, the out?
laws deliberately firod his promises, de?
stroying his pin-house with all its con?
tents, hiH cotton houses with his un
ginned cotton, his thresher, screw and
other property, keeping the doctor and
his laborers at bay with arms and firing
at them repeatedly, whilo tho llamcs were
licking up the results of his industry
and hard labor for years.
Wo do not oxaggorato when we stato
that all tho good citizens in that soctiou
of tho county aro terrorized with silence,
and whilo it is supposed they know tho
names of tho brigands, they aro fearful
of violence to thoir own homes, families
and persons should they give aid or in?
formation to officers who have for somo
timo been attempting their arrest.
We learn additional that this section of
tho country is rapidly depopulating; col?
ored laborers are fleeing across tho river
to the city side, leaving tho crop to rot in
tho fields", while tho whites aro hold in a
stato of continuous alarm, fearing to
leave thoir property and unable to sell at
any price, albeit their smiling valleys
and picturesquo hills aro as productivo
as any in tho Stato. Wo trust tho Gov?
ernor will uso all duo diligence, and
moro actively in tho direction of appre?
hending theso daring violators of tho
poaco of tho State. Tho local papers at
Sparta and Sandorsvillo, as well as at
Milledgovillo, havo sounded tho alarm,
and if necessary it will behoovo his Ex
celloncy to raise an ami}' that tho good
may bo protectod and theso bloody out?
rages puuished.?Atlanta Constitution, 10:ft
