He recently went from Abbeville, S. C, to Mississippi on account of his de? clining health. He was about 40 years old, and was considered one of the finest preachers in the S. C. Conference. His many friends here regret to hear of his death. Oar young friend, Ham. Webb, who has just opened a stock of confectioneries, fancy groceries, etc., in the Masonic build? ing, has presented us with samples of his leading cigar, "Little Ham," which is a favorite with every one who has tried them.

Several gentlemen are talking very strongly of organizing a stock company for the purpose of building a commodi? ous hotel in this city. A good idea. If there is any thing that Ander son needs badly, it is a comfortable hotel building. If somo prominent man would take the matter in hand, vre believe he could soon organize a company with sufficient capi? tal to erect a suitable building. Let us wake up from our lethargy and display a little more enterprise and progressive ness. Such things build up a place. An? derson is growing steadily, the Savannah Valley Railroad will bo completed in an? other year, and to meet the demands of the increasing travel, we must and will have a big hotel. Who will take the lead in this enterprise? This Fall would be the most favorable time for organizing the company. A Train Wreol.ec;. The up-passenger train was wrecked at a point about five miles .below this city, I near Broadaway trestle, last Friday night, j It was the day set apart for the grand I Summer excursion from the low-country to the mountains, and there were between two and three hundred passengers aboard. On account of the heavy load the train bad gotten an hoar or two behind time. The greater portion of the track be? tween Belton and Broadaway trestle is of the old flange iron laid upon stringerB. Engineer Carter was in charge of the train, which was composed of six cars, and, knowing that he was off of tbe schedule, moved along very cautiously over this portion of tbe Road, running, I he thinks, at tbe rate of about fifteen | miles an hoar. He felt his engine strike j what, he believed to be a "snake-head," a term applied to a loose joint. The engine and mail car passed over safely, but when tbe smoking car struck it the crash came, and in a twinkling of an eye the smoking car together with the foar pas? senger cars were wrecked. The South side of tbe track for the whole length of j tbe wrecked cars was torn almost com? pletely away. One pair of trucks of each I car, at one or the other end, were dis? placed and that end thrown to the ground. Tbe cars were thrown almost across the ' track, in a zigzag sihape, though remain? ing intact and not turning over. The I passengers were considerably shaken up, but, strange to say, hot a single ono was hurt. As soon as Conductor Smith found that no one was injured, he dipatched the en? gine and mail car to this city, where he obtained four box cars and returned to tbe wreck. The news soon spread over the city, and quite a crowd gathered at the depot, all eager to learn the particulars of the wreck, as several of our citizens were ex? pecting friends on the train. We returned wich the train to the scene. I Arriving there we found the passengers setting around camp fires, patiently wait? ing, and doubtless feeling thankful that they had made such a narrow escape. Their countenances, however, indicated plainly tbat they would not venture soon on another excursion. As we viewed tbe wreck we were more than puzzled that no one waa injured. Indeed, it seemed as if Providence bad taken special care of tbem. It was simply remarkable thatno one was hurt. We doubt if the like has ever occurred befcre. The passengers and baggage were soon transferred, and the train on its way again, arriving bore between 12 and 1 o'clock. Conductor Smith, who, by the way, is one of the best officers in the employ of tho Company, was cool and self-possessed, and was untiring in his efforts to make the passengers comfortable. The construction train was ordered to tbe scene immediately tbat night, and by J dark Saturday afternoon the wreck had been sufficiently cleared to allow the reg? ular train to pass. It Ls said by tho?e who know tbat this is tbe third accident which has occurred near this same place within tbe past sev? eral years. To go there and look at that old flange iron one would be surprised that ihere are not more trains wrecked. The Company should take all this old flange iron up and replace it with more modern rails as soon as possible. The City Council. Thi new City Council was sworn in last Friday and immediately took the reins of the city government in hand. The old Council left the treasury empty. With this fact in view, the new Council determined; in order to keep out of debt as much as possible, to cut down ex? penses. Accordingly, tbe rirst step in this direction was a reduction of the salaries of the various officers in their employ, amounting in tbe aggregate to $550.00 a year. The following officerp were then elected: Clerk and Treasurer?W. S. Brown. Chief of Police?Joseph R. Fant. 1st Assistant Policeman?R. F. Mc Kinney. 2nd Assistant Policeman and Engineer of Fire Department?C. C Cummings. 3rd Assistant Policeman and Street Overseer?P. A. Spellmau. These gentlemen were in the employ of the old Council, and their retention by the new Council shows that they are effi? cient, reliable and trustworthy officers. Mayor Tolly then announced the fol? lowing standing committees: On Streets?J. M. Payne, J. L. Farmer and F. M. Murphy. Ways and Means?B. F. Mauldin, J. S. Fowler and J. L. Farmer. Health?Foster Fant, B. F. Mauldin and F. M, Murphy. Fire Department?J. S. Fowler, Foster Fant and J. M. Payne. The new Council will necessarily be re? stricted in their public work until after the next taxes have been collected, but no public enterprise in which the city is interested will be permitted to lag. To the Voters of Anderson County. We have read with regret the card of Col. J. N. Brown, in which he says he in no longer a candidate for a seat in our State Legislature. In our judgment, the people could send no man in this County to the Legis? lature who could do more good for the whole people than Col. Brown. We con? sider him an honest and able Christian gentleman, and one who understands the condition and needs of our County and State, and one who has the ability to rep? resent bis fellow-citizens well in every particular. He can do as much or more to correct tbe evils now existing in our laws, and to help make better and more wholesome ones to meet the wans of the people, as any man that can be elected. We are all vitally interested in having men elected to the next Legislature who are good financiers, so as to be able to make tbe best arrangements about tbe future settlement of our State debt, with? out greatly increasing our already high taxes. Also men who will guard, against excessive appropriations for the State House, Canals and other thing j which will come before them. We know of no man in the Cou nty who could and would meet these demands, and fight for low taxes with greater abil? ity and foresight than Col. J. N. Brown. If you want low taxes send some men to tbe Legislature who are large tar pay? ers themselves, for it is human nature for them to advocate and fight for lo w taxes with more vigor than the men who pay little or none. For these, and many other reasons, it is to be hoped, and tbe voters of Anderson County are earnestly solicited, to support and elect Col. Brown, notwithstanding his withdrawal. We feel satisfied that if be is called by the people, he will ably serve them. Let it be said, in fact, that this time tbe office has sought the man and not tbe man the office. Maky Members of Belton Club. To The Public. Haviag heard that Mr. J. R. Fant was the author of the charges alluded to in my card published in last week's Intel? ligencer, I am now satisfied from state? ments made to me by Mr. Fant tbat he did not originato or circulate them, and it affords me pleasure to thus publicly exonerate bim from all blame. James H. McConnell. A Card. On Tuesday last at 9 o'clock p. m. I was served by a U. S. Marshal with a sub? poena writ to appear forthwith before the United States Court, now in session at Greenville, S. C, to testify in a certain whiskey case, now pending in the said Court against parties from Brushy Creek township, and to bring with me certain records from the Clerk's office to be used as evidence before the Court. The order is peremptory, and I must go, but I sin? cerely trust that my friends who have so 1 generously supported mo in the past will not let my interests in the present elec I tion suffer during my unavoidable ab? sence.

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 bas been in several years. I believe Brewer's Lung Restorer Bavcd . r lifo. Benj. F. Hebndon, 37 Yatesville, Ga.
