Ernest was directly in front of the gun and re? ceived its contents, which was a rifle-ball of 38-calibre, causing instant death." Coroner Nance went down to Honea Path and held an inquest on Saturday morning. After hearing, the evidence, which was in accordance with the above facta, the jury returned , a verdict of acci? dental shooting. BRIEF MENTION. People continue to grumble about hard times.

Try it and see. We invite the careful attention of our readers to the advertisement of Messrs. Orr & Sloan in this issue. In their ad? vertisement will be found a number of letters, which represent certain words. The first person who sends a correct list of the words to the Local Editor of the Intelligencer will be given a handsome library lamp. It is worth the trouble to work it out, and we hope some of our readers will do so.

Roberts, an enterprising young farmer of Centreville township, brought us some samples of very fine cotton last Monday. He secured a few of the seed at the Atlanta Exposition, and has improved them considerably. The bolls are very large, the lint from forty of them, in a seasonable year, weighing a pound. The lint is also very fine. Mr. Roberts says it will yield more to the acre, mature earlier, and is easier picked than any cotton he has ever seen grown in this country. He has a lot of the seed for sale. See advertisement elsewhere.

These lines are operated at the Western Union Telegraph office in this city." An article published in the Scientific American says Mr. Edward Atkinson, well known as the New Englander who is deeply interesting himself in everything relative to cotton, has lately announced the discovery of a new and important ele? ment of value in the cotton crop. He states that for each bale o cotton there are 1,500 pounds of stems, which are very rich in phosphate of lime and potash. When ground and mixed with cotton seed meal (which is too rich for use in fodder in large quantities), the stem mixture makes a superior cattle food, rich in all the elements needed for the production of milk, meat and bone; - It is believed that this utilization of the cotton stems, hither? to a nuisance, will prove to cotton growers a new source of wealth, and in many parts greatly facilitate the raising of stock, by furnishing a substitute for grain. The other day we were escorted through the hardware store of Messrs. Sullivan & Bro. .and given a bird's eye view of their immense stock.. To say we were surprised, would be expressing it mildly, for we never dreamed that such a stock of hard-, ware, cutlery, tools, builder's materials, scales, guns, shot, agricultural imple? ments, &c, could be found this Bide of Charleston. The young gentlemen com? posing this firm are full of pluck, energy and progressiven ess, and have built up a business equal to that of any similar es? tablishment in the State. They buy in large lots direct from the manufacturer, which enables them to sell their goods at prices that defy competition. It is worth any one's time to visit their store and look at their goods. Just before leaving we were told to select a pocket knife, with their compliments ; we did so,'but it was a hard task, for their stock of cutlery is so large, that a person could spend a day in look? ing over it. A Card. Andebson, S. C, Oct. 14,1884. Mb. Editor: Will you please state through your papor that we, the trustees of the M. E. Church, have not antborized any one (except our pastor,) to collect money for our new Church building; and any one else who says that they were or are appointed is an impostor, and by so doing lay themselves liable to be prosecu? ted. This we are forced to say because we have heard that some one has received money from the citizens of this city that we have never received for our Church building. The pastor bas appointed six missionary collectors, who are authorized to collect money for that cause, and none other. They have little books in. which is found their credentials properly signed by the pastor. The citizens have our thanks for what they have done, and we hope they will aid us again when our author? ized collector calls. Yours Respectfully, B. F. Withsespoon, Sec. Board of Trustees M. E. Church. THE NEW PALACE ST0EE. We were shown the other day through one of the handsomest stores, filled com? pletely with a very fine stock, that we had evervi8ited. The goods are displayed ar? tistically, the quantity was bewildering, and to judge by the many people who were trading at the time, and who were certainly pleased, the prices must have been very attractive. Such a store is u credit ana honor to our growing city. The young and obliging proprietor. Mr. M. B. Arnstein, is making the New York Cash Store the best place for our people to trade at Ho showed us a handsome stock of Dress Goods at 15c, and some beauties at 20c.

He showed us some fur-trimmed Circulars, Dolmans, Jerseys, Jacket, and Newmarkets, which he assu? red us were all the style for Ladies' wear. He showed us some pretty Carpets, some fine Shoes and an elegant stock of Cloth? ing for Boys and Men. We were very much pleased, and advise all to call there. Malarial Poison. Having spent much of my time for the past three years in and near Albany, Ga., i had gradually absorbed malaria into my system, and my general health was com? pletely broken down; this poison culmi? nated last November in a coniestive chill, and I was confined to the bed and house .for five months; was treated by the best physicians, by all the approved- methods with nj benefit; my health was awfully broken down ; my skin almost as yellow as a pumpkin : a thick heavy coat on my tongue; no appetite; and in a miserable fix generally. I was induced in April last to take Swift's Specific, and the hrst few doses convinced me that it was what I needed. I continued until I had taken several bottles, and am a well man, tbo poison bas all been driven out of my sys? tem by Swift's Specific, and I have gained thirty pounds in weight. C. M. CLARK, Agt. Southern Life Ins. Co., Atlanta, Ga. 7 FLAUT QUESTIONS. Mythical ideas are fanning the public brow, with the breath of prejudice, ignor? ance or humbuggery. Have you the re? motest idea that your scrofula was created by the use of potash and mercury? No matter what the cause, 13. B. B. is the peer of all other remedies. Do you presume that your troublesome catarrh is the re? sult of mineral poisoning? B. B. B. is the quickest remedy. Are your chronic ulcers and boils and sores the result of potash and mercury? Medical gentlemen will not tell you so, but B. B. B. is the only sovereign remedy. Were your ter? rible kidney troubles created by mineral Eoisoning? Not a bit of it, but B. B. B. as proven to be a reliable remedy. Are your skin diseases, your eczema, dry tet? ter, etc., the effect of too much potash and mercury?
