A colored prisoner, named Jim Barr, died in the County Jail last Thursday morning. He was committed to Jail last Spring from Brushy Creek township, charged with the crime of arson, and would have been tried at the Fall term of Court. At the time of his incarceration he was unable to walk, having been par? tially paralyzed a short time before. One day last Jane while attempting to walk across his cell floor he fell and broke his leg. Since that time he has received close medical attention, bot he gradually grew worse until death relieved him of his sufferings. There is this difference between those two temporal blessings, health and mon? ey : Money is the most envied, but the least enjoyed; health is the most enjoyed, j but the least enjoyed ; and this superiori? ty of the latter is still more obvious when we reflect .that the poorest man would not part with health for money, but that the richest would glfldly part with all his money for health. By reference to a change in the adver? tisement of the Anderson Military School, it will be seen that the Principals have secured the services of Prof. Emanuel Wahl, Ph.

He is entirely a different look? ing man to what many persons had imag? ined him to be. He has an open, frank, yet decisive, countenance, and is alto? gether a good-looking man. He is slowly recuperating his health, though he still uses one crutch, which is occasioned by a wound in the leg. His voice is weak, and he is troubled with a cough. At the picnic at Neal's Creek Church last Tuesday Mr. W. P. Holland met with a most painful accident. In the afternoon, after the speaking was con? cluded, the young men present got up a social game ofhaserball. Mr. Holland was one cpfcfie players, and in running from one^base to another be came in con tacprtith a companion, which threw him ?t?the ground with such force as to break his right leg between the knee and ankle. There were two physicians on the ground at the time, and they did everything pos? sible for the unfortunate'young man. The County campaign meetings yet to be held for the candidates before the Pri? mary Election are as follows: Honea Path, Friday, 15th inst., at 11.30 a.m.; Wm.

Several burglaries have been committed recently in Hopewell townships. On Wednesday, the 6th inst. Mr. Baylis Smith's residence was entered. His bu? reau was broken open and some clothing and a small tin box stolen. On the night of that day some one entered Mr. John Harper's residence. The thief struck a match, which aroused some of the occu? pants, who frightened him off before he could secure anything. On Thursday, 7th inst, Mr. John/Hopkins' residence, in the same neighborhood, was entered and six dollars stolen. It is evident that all three of these burglaries were com? mitted by the same person or persons. The people in that section should be on the lookout, and give the thief or thieves a shot-gun reception. We are pained to record the death of I Miss Mattie J. McGoe, which occurred at the residence of her father, Col. Jesse P. McGee, in Hall township, on Friday, 8th inst., after a protracted illness from con? sumption, from which she was confined to j her room for the past "utr or five months. She was a most estimable young lady, I and was greatly admired and beloved by all who knew her. As a member of the First Creek Baptist Church she was a de I voted and pious Christian. During her 'lingering illness she was patient and I cheerful, evtacing a perfect resignation to the decree of Heaven. Her remains were interred in the cemetery adjoining the Church of which she was a member on last Saturday, after appropriate servi? ces conducted by Rev. J. S. Murray. A large number of the relatives and friends of the deceased were present to pay the last of earth's tribute to the departed one. Little Tommy was entertaining one of his sister's admirers in the parlor, the other evening, until she appeared. "Don't you come to see my sister ?" he inquired. "Yes, Tommy, that's what I come for." "You like her immensely, don't you?" "Of course, I admire her very much. Don't you think she is very nice?" "Well, I have to, 'cause she's my sister; but she thumps me pretty hard some? times. But let's see you open your mouth once. Now shut it tight till I count ten. There?I knowed you could do it." "Why, Tommy, who said I couldn't?" "Oh, nobody but sister." "Whatdid she say?" "Well, she said you hadn't sense enough to keep your mouth shut, and I bet two big apples you had; and you have, haven't you? And you'll make her stump up the apples, won't you?*' The young man did not wait to see whether she would "stump up" or not. The Municipal Election. Very little interest was manifested in the Municipal election last Monday. This can be easily accounted for from the fact that the primary election had sottled the result of the election in advance. Out of nearly 500 voters, only 289 registered for this election?201 whites and 88 colored. Of the number registered, only 178 per? sons voted, 40 of them being colored. The regular Democratic ticket was almost unanimously elected, there being but eighteen scattering ballots. The follow? ing shows the vote of each of the nomi? nees: For Mayob : G. F. Tolly. 177 For Aldermen : Foster Fant. 176 J. S. Fowler. 173 F. M. Murphy.169 B. F. Mauldin. 168 J. L. Farmer. 167 J. M.

Mr. Editob: Thesecond annual meet? ing of the Gist Rifles Survivors' Associa? tion was hold at Williamston on Tues? day, August 5th, -with 1st Vice-President J. M. Glenn presiding. There were forty of the members present. In the election of officers for the ensu? ing year, the following selection was made : President, Lieut. A. J. Stringer; 1st Vice-President, Lieut. N. O. Farmer ; 2nd Vice-President, J. M. Glenn; 3rd Vice-President, R. V. Acker; 4th Vice President, S. R. Davenport; Secretary and Treasurer, J. L. Mauldin. A number of letters, received by the Secretary from some of the absent mem? bers expressing regrets at being unable to attend the meeting and good wishes to all, were read, and it was evident that all were pleased to hear from those they could not meet. It was ascertained that there are now living of the Company 118 members, and the whereabouts of all except 22 are known. The meeting was adjourned to meet at Williamston on first Tuesday In August, 1885. Dinner was announced after adjourn? ment, and all repaired to the Spring grove to partake of the bountiful fare. The "boys" knew what to do with it, though it was not like the camp fare they were accustomed to twenty years ago. A most pleasant day was spent in talk? ing over incidents of camp life long for? gotten. But everything comes to an end, so it was with the veterans; the declining sun warned them it was time to break up, and with many a hearty "good bye" "and hope' to see you next year," the meeting was over. M. To the Voters of Anderson County. For reasons not fully existing when I accepted the nomination, I feel it my duty to withdraw from the canvass for a seat in the House of Representatives. To my many friends I regret to make this an? nouncement, and hope at some future time to serve them, should a majority of my fellow-citizens desire it. In accepting the nomination I desired only to represent such interests as I had in common with my countrymen. These interests em? brace the taxation of properfv and the education of our children. It takes more than half our State taxes to pay the in? terest on our public debt. To reduce this interest is of paramount importance in order to reduce taxes. To this end it will require wholesome legislation in the administration of the government. This would give confidence to capitalists, and enable us to reduce the interest on the debt from six lo, perhaps, four per cent, a saving of one-third of the taxes for this object. A large portion of this debt ma tines in 1888, and the remainder in 1893, and to replace this debt at a low rate of interest should engage our Legislature in shaping legislation. Any increase of the public debt, or weakening the resources of the State, would defeat, in a measure, the desired object. This will have to be met at the next session of the General Assembly. Spartanburg, and seven other Counties, have involved themselves largely in bonded debts to build railroads, and now desire the State to come to their aid to relieve them from their embarrassments. The movement is being led in Spartan? burg, and whon once begun will be taken up by all. Once establish the precedent of the State assuming, either directly or indi? rectly, the burden of these debts, impos? ed as they are by the reckless voting of taxes for railroad purposes, we may never hope to reduce the present rate of ! interest; and the present rate of taxation. A Constitutional Amendment is now on the way to prevent the Counties from creating any debt exceeding eight per cent of its taxable property. If it is wrong to exceed eight per cent, it is wrong to exceed five. This proposition for the State to assume the County debts, and all kindred measures, should be met by the Legislature with firmness, so as to plant the credit of the State on a foot? ing with that of our sister State of Geor? gia, and place our debt at four percent, as Georgia has. Then, and not before, may we begin to look for relief from high taxes, wftich is demanded from all quar? ters of the State. The State having already taken its stand on education, she will not likely take any step backward. I thought that we might well have dispensed with the Citadel Academy, leaving those who were not satisfied with higher education at tho University to pay t*"nr own tuition at King's Mountain Military, or such other like schools as they desired. The stability of our government, the preser? vation of our institutions, and the hap? piness of our people depending upon the intelligence of its citizens, it seems to me but right that those of its citizens who are rich in this world's goods, should contribute of their means to educate the children of the State, as a small return for the rights of personal security, perso? nal liberty, and private property guaran? teed to them by the laws. My views on this subject having been expressed in private, I am requested to furnish them for publication, which I do with diffi? dence, as I seldom impose my views on I the public by expressing them in print. They are submitted now only becauso of my withdrawal from the canvass, and the request of those who have the right to ask it. "With this apology Isubmit them. Joseph N. Brown. [Adu.'tuement.] A Card. To the Citizens of Anderson County: It has been reported by some malicious person that my administration of the County Jail has not been correct, in that prisoners have not been properly fed, and that prisoners have been hired to the city council of An? derson and thus double fees collected. Both of these statements are entirely without a shadow of truth to sustain them, and I am confident that the people of Anderson County know them to be maliciously false. If any proof of this is needed, I think the following affidavit of Mrs. Margaret R. Harris, a respectable white lady, effectually disposes of the first falsehood : State op South Cabolika, 1 County of Anderson, j Personally appeared before me J. E. Breazeale, a Trial Justice in and for the County and State aforesaid, Margaret R. Harris, who being duly sworn, deposes and says that she was the cook at the County Jail during the year 1882, except the month of August when she was absent, and that it was during said time while she was cooking that one James Patterson was a prisoner, and he with all the other pris? oners received the same kind of breads and meats used by Sheriff McConnell and his family, and to her own knowledge the pris? oners were well fed and cared for. MARGARET R. HARRIS. Sworn to before me August 13th, 18S4. J. E. Brea/.eale, Trial Justice A. C. And the following statement of the Mayor and Chairman of the Street Com? mittee of the City of Anderson likewise shows the second charge to be utterly false: Anderson, S. C, Aug. 13,1884. J. 77. McCohncll, Sheriff Anderson County, S. C.?-Deab Sin: In reply to your enquiry I would say thai I have no knowledge of yonr hiring the City Council any prisoners, or any other hands, to work on the streets, or for any other purpose, during my ad? ministration as Mayor, which has been for the past two years; and if it had have been done I certainly would have known it, as I approved the pay-rolls and countersigned all checks drawn on City funds. Your-, respectfully, D. S. MAXWELL' Mayor City of Anderson. A. S. STEPHENS, Chru'n. Street Committee. Having thus been able to clearly meet these charges I am content to accept the judgment of my fellow-citizens upon them. JAMES H. McCONNELL, Sheriff Anderson County. A Card. Mr. Editor: I find that for personal reasons I shall not be able to make the race for County Commissioner. You will, therefore, please withdraw my name from the list of candidates. In withdraw? ing I thank my friends for their warm interest in my behalf. Respectfully, Alfred Campbell. Grange Meeting.

Another Rescue from Death.?In 1881 while sewing on a machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in her side, which was soon followed by hemorrhages from her lungs, severe cough, fever, and she could neither eat or sleep, and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton. Her stomach refused to retain any food, and the physician thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. At a final consultation of two physicians her case was pronounced hopeless. I tried Brewer's Lung Restorer by advice of one of the physicians, and she began to improve after the third dose. She continued the medicine, and is now in ex? cellent health, and is better than she has been in several years. I believe Brewer's Lung Restorer saved her lifo. Benj. F. Herndon, 37 Yatesville, Ga.
