Some ladies are beginning to complain
of the kissing business now practiced be?
tween members of their sex. It is de?
clared that the practice of one woman
saluting another with a kiss whenever
she meets her after an absence is becom?
ing too common, and that the .'osculatory
welcome should be limited to ladies who
are very dear friends?and to gentlemen
too when properly authorized. Many
ladies who do not like to seem rude are
compelled to kiss other ladies of their ac
quaiotance when they meet them be?
cause it seems expected, and to refuse to
return the salutation would bo embar?
rassing.
Last Saturday mornling Mr. J. Belton
Watson, who resides about five mileu
North of Anderson, bad his barn, stables
and corn crib destroyed by fire. Over
5000 bandies of fodder, about 400 bushels
of oats and about 30 bushels of corn were
also consumed, aggregating a loss of
about six hundred dollars. The fire was
accidental, having been caused by Mr.
Watson's little son, who, while playing
near a straw pile, popped a match with
his knife, igniting the utraw, from which
the fire spread. The wind was blowing
considerably at the time, endangering bis
dwelling bouse and other buildings,
whioh were near the barn.
The following curious puzzle is said to
beat the celebrated "13 14 15," and is well
worth investigating : Take a strip of pa?
per or eardhoard thirteen inches long and
five wide, thus giving a surface of sixty
five inches. Now cut this strip diagon?
ally as true as you can, giving two pieces
in the shape of a triangle, and measure
exactly five inches from the end of each
strip and cut in two pieces; take these
strips and pat them into the shape of an
exact square, and it will appear to be
just eight inches each way, or sixty-four
square inches, a loss of one square inch
of superficial measurement with no di?
minution of surface. The question is,
what becomes of that inch ?

It is a little wonderful bow a fellow's
girl will* run from bim if he calls upon
.her rather unexpectedly and finds ber
rigged up in a "Mother Hub-bard." A
certain young man called upon his girl
the other aiternoon and found her sitting
in the hallway in one of these dresses,
but when she got a glimpse of bim she
ran, knocking over a sewing-machine, a
table and four or five chairs that happen?
ed to be between her and her room. Of
course, he didn't tell her he saw all of
this, but when she came into the parlor
limping, he asked what was the matter,
and she replied that her little brother bad
tried to make sausage-meat out of her
toes with his hatchet. He accepted the
statement as true, and said no more about
it.
The present outlook lor the farmers is
not at all encouraging. In some sections 1
the drouth has cut off the cotton crop at
least one-third, while in other sections it
is worse. Peas, potatoes and late corn
are also cut off a great deal. We have
hefcrd i'everal farmers from various se?
tions of the County Bay, however, that
they have not suffered from the drouth,
and that they will make the best crop
tbey have made in several years. These
are comparatively few, though. The ma?
jority of the farmers owe their entire cot?
ton crop, not having been able to pay out
last Fall on account of the short crop,
and unless the price of cotton remains up
they will not be able to meet their obli?
gations this Fall. The past Summer has
been a hard one with overybody, and we
believe our people have been more eco?
nomical on that account, therefore the
amount of their Indebtedness for this
year's supplies is not as much as it would
have been under other circumstances.
There are a great many farmers who do
not think their crop will be as good as
last year, and all of them are gloomy as
to the outlook. Another hard year is
ahead of us, and we should prepare for
it by a large sowing of oats, wheat and
barley. From all reports we are of the
opinion that the crop of the County will
be about three-fourths of an average crop.
Arranging for the Meeting.
The City Executive Committee of the
City Clubs have appointed the following
Committees to prepare seats, arrange the
stand, provide for the speakers, and look
after the Democratic mass meeting which
is to come off in Anderson on Friday,
the 26th inst:

phreys, D. S. Taylor, D. S. Maxwell, J. N.
Brown, J. E. Breazeale.

uella Brown, Miss Annie Bleckley,

Wilhite, Foster Fant.
We hope every lady and gentleman in
the County who can attend will be pres?
ent on that occasion. It is the only meet?
ing appointed for the County,. and all of
our people can afford to give up one day
to bear the issues of the present canvass
discussed. It will also be the first time
in four years that Senator Hampton has
been with us. Let us all join to make it
a great day worthy of the Anderson De?
mocracy.
The Savannah Valley Bailroad.
The vote in the different Townships of
this County, on the question of subscrib?
ing $15,000 additional to the Savannah
Valley Railroad, last Saturday resulted in
an overwhelming defeat?in fact, a com?
plete stampede of the friends of the sub?
scription. The following is tbe vote upon
the question by townships:
Broadway?For subscription, 4; against
subscription, 224.
Savannah?For subscription, 3 ; against
subscription, 166.
Varennes?For subscription, 48; ngainst
subscription, 182.
Centreville? For subscription,^; against
subscription, 200.
Corner?For subscription, 38; against
subscription, 99.
Hall?For subscription, 47; against sub?
scription, 129.
Total for subscription, 163; against sub?
scription, 1,000
Several things conspired to produce this
result.
First, and we believe foremost of all,
was tbe belief that tbe road will be built
any way, as the City of Anderson can?
not afford to let tbe enterprise die. This
was used freely in all tbe Townships,
and doubtless had a strong influence in
inducing people to vote against tbe sub?
scription. Tbey believed they would get
the road without voting any taxation.
Second, and nearly or quite as strong a
factor in producing tbe result, was the
very short crop of the present year. Our
farmers are very blue as to the prospects
of the coming year, from the fact that
they are in debt for last year, and are
making a very short crop this year.
Hence, many friends of tbe road voted
against tbe tax, for they felt that in the
present stringent condition of money
matters they could not afford to take fif?
teen thousand dollars out of the Town?
ships named.
In tbe third place, the friends of the
road became discouraged, and numbers
of them did not go out to vote ; and last,
but not least, was tbe fact that a very large
number of voters were opposed to the
subscription under any circumstances.
We regret the roe alt of tbe election, and
think our friends in tbe Townships nam?
ed have missed an opportunity to make a
certainty of a valuable public improve?
ment ; but tbey have decided it by a very
nearly unanimous vote, in some instances,
and it is no use to grieve over spilt milk.
We trust some means may yet be devised
to complete the road. What the means
are to be, we are not now prepared to
say, but too much work has been done to
be lost, and though tbe work may be de?
layed, we must not look upon the road
as a failure. It must and will be built.
Townvillo Correspondence.
A most distressing accident occurred
last Wednesday, the 10th, at 4 o'clck p.
m., on Maj. D. L. Cox's place, which re?
sulted in the death of Mr. T. J. Brown?
ing's 16-year-old son George.
The young man was driving a load of
fodder drawn by two mules from the
field to the bouse. On the way a part of
tbe load slid forward, carrying the young
man with it. He caught upon the dou?
ble-tree. This frightened the team, which
began to run at full speed. A hundred
yards from tbe point of starting the team
ran against a partly decayed stump about
two and a half feet high aud some ten
inches through. Between this stump
and the wagon bed the young man was
caught and crushed. The concussion was
so great as to force the stump asunder,
and tbe team dashing on tbe young man
dropped to tho ground limp and dying.
His father, who was tieing fodder close
by, got to the scene in a moment and
raising his poor boy's bead tenderly
heard him utter a faint, piteous call for
his mother. Ho expired in a lew minutes,
his head resting on bis father's arm, the
iuternal hemorrhage oozing the while
from his nose and mouth. The wounds
consisted of a severe bruise on the side of
tbe face, the literal crushing of the left
side, and the fracture of tbe left arm
above and below the elbow. The spinal
column was also injured.
The young man was a consistent mem?
ber of tbe Church, and was Mr. Brown
lug's only son. The bereaved mother is
an invalid and blind, so that the shock
falls upon her with great heaviness.
Mr. John G. Cox was seated on tbe rear
part of the load when the mules began to
ran, and after tbe young man, who was
driving, bad fallen off, he jumped to ;the
ground, receiving a rather severe sprain
of the knee. *

Pendleton, S. C. Sept. 15th, 1884.
Mr. Editor: We have just closed a se?
ries of meetings that have been in pro?
gress for ten days, under the direction of
Rev. J. DeWitt Burkhead, of Texas, who
is spending a vacation of several months
in this State among friends.
This vacation, though intended for rest,
up to this time has been, and if accepted,
would bo incessant work for more than
one and one-half years, he having appli?
cations to cover that time now, and these
applications extend from California to
Maine.
His time is wholly occupied in preach?
ing the Gospel; and when I say the Gos?
pel, I mean it in the strictest sense of tbe
word. For sound reason and logic, this
good man of God, in my judgment, has
few equals, and no superiors in the Unit?
ed States.
His interpretations of the Biblo and its
teachings are simple and yet sublime,
and seldom fails to carry conviction to
the heart of his hearers. His teachings,
In some respects, are directly opposed to
the ideas advanced by many preachers of
all denominations, but be invariably
proves his assertions by undeniable
Biblical facts; sometime making state?
ments, which, though startling at first,
yet become self-evident truths after his
explanation. His preaching is different,
probably, from that of any other, and
when be appeals to man's intelligence to
see tbe beauties of religion, bow much
easier it seems to serve our Lord and
Saviour after we have taken in the truths
promulgated and expounded by this emi?
nent man of God.
Of all Evangelists he is the one calcula?
ted to advance Christ's Kingdom here on
earth. It is evident that such work is
very much needed here in our country ;
therefore, would it not be wise for our
Synod, soon to meet, to employ Mr.
Burkhead for twelve months at least?
The funds necessary to secure bis ser?
vices need not prove any barrier, for if
secured, rest assured that he will bring
tenfold more into the treasury than it
will cost to obtain his aid in tbe advance?
ment of the Church of Christ.

An Editor's Experience.
After trying numerous remedies for
Rheumatism, but without permanent ielief,
I was advised to use S. S. 8., which had
given permanent relief to others suffering
from rheumatism. After taking half a
dozen bottles I found that the disease was
entirely driven out of my system, and a
permanent cure secured. This was over
a year ago, and since then, even during
our most severe weather, with sudden
changes, I have never suffered a return
of the old attacks which disabled me from
editorial work.
It is very seldom, indeed, that I recom?
mend anything to the public in this man?
ner, but I feel it due to your valuable
preparation, that has given mo such long
desired and much needed relief, to state
these facts thus publicly. I am suro that
but for your Specific, I should have L?een
laid aside from journalistic work, as the
severest attack was in my right arm and
band.

WAGONS, WAGONS, WAGONS I
WE have Just received a Car-load of the Celebrated TENNESSEE WAGOSN,
and having succeeded in getting a special low freight on same, we propose
to cut prices accordingly.
We now have on nand twenty one-horse Wagons, with double bodies and .spring
seats; also thirty assorted 5 and two-horse Wagons, both Thimble Skeins and Iron
Axles, and we will be sure to please you in price as well as quality.
One of our li-inch iron axle Tennessee Wagons, having a guaranteed capacity of
4,000 pounds, was used in hauling from the Depot here the new Vault for the National
Bank of Anderson. Ono of the iron pieces hauled upon it weighed 7.600 pounds, and
the skids upon which it rented are supposed to have weighed about 400 pounds, making
in all 8,000 pounds or more held np by this wagon, which proves that they are even
better than they are claimed to be. We publish the names of persons who are rising

a Wagon let us know it at once, so that we can keep them ordered ahead, and enable us
