If you squander a* quarter each day of your life, though it may seem remarkably queer, if you put it away in. tho bank you wdlild kave $91.25 in a year. But a quarter a day is not half what you waste if you count your occasional sprees; waste will well, pay for your board and your clothes, and tho-rest you can save if you please. So shut off your treating, and walk when you can, and give up the excitement you've craved, and you'll bo quite sur? prised at the end of the year at tho tidy amount you have'saved."?Exchange. Chief of Police Fant and Policemen Cuminicgs and Blaekmau had a long, lively race last Monday in attempting to arrest a negro named Doc. Jones, who, it is believed, is an escaped convict from one of the phosphate mines in the lower ! part of the State. The officers had been j on the look-out for the negro for some time, and ou Monday they learned that he was concealing himself in a house iu the city. When the negro saw the officers approaching the house, be started ou a run at a two-forty pace. The officers fol? lowed him, and soon discovered that he was a fleet-footed darkey. They contin? ued in pursuit and finally captured him I in. the swamp near the Railroad trestle across Rocky River, The prisoner was brought into the city and lodged in jail. Jones is coal black, with a long, deep scar on the right side of his face, and is nearly six feet high. He was arrested here two years ago for having committed some offence in either Pickens or Ocouee Coun? ties, and was sent to the Penitentiary from one of these Counties. The author? ities have been notified of his arrest. Mr. William M. Archer, one of Ander? son's most venerable citizens, died at his residence in this city, on last Sunday af? ternoon, in the seventy-fourth year of his age, alter an illness from a complica? tion of diseases which prostrated him for the past three months. Mr. Archer was well known throughout our County, and honored by all who knew him for his strict integrity, his'sound judgment, and his unswerving adherence to the path of duty iu all the walks of lire. Mr. Archer was, .before the war, Shoriff of Anderson County, but being ineligible for a second term under the law, ran only one timo for the office.

His remains wero Interred in the Presbyterian cemetery on last Monday afternoon, Rev. D. E. Frier son, D. D., conducting the funeral servi? ces, which were attended by a large con? course of the friends and acquaintances of the deceased.

Di., and organized by electing Mr. G. F. Tolly President, and John B. Breazeale, Esq., Secretary of the Conven? tion. A large majority of the stock of the Company was represented, and the meeting proceeded with the consideration of the business of the Convention. Pres? ident Humphreys submitted his report, which gives the status of the Company, as follows: To the Stockholders of the Savannah Valley Railroad Company: Gentlemkn : Much has been donosiuce your last Convention that is matter for congratulation. Indeed, the last twelve months have been the most eventful in the history of our enterprise, and while there were days of despondency and gloom,- the year, upon tho whole, has boon attended with the most gratifying results, and we meet to-day with the well-a3sured hope that tho near future will witness the full fruition of our efforts in tho com pio tiou of our r?ad^ Twelve months ago, uot more thau half of your road-bed was graded, aud the work of grading had just been renewed after a suspension'of sixteen months, and was being carried on with-, money bor? rowed upon tho hypothecation of the first batch of_Andorson City bonds of $25,000. The Townships.in Abbovillo had made a generous subscription of $20,000 addi? tional, but it could not be collected until Fall, while this amount with tho Ander? son City bonds, was wholly inadequate to complete the work of grading. The Townships in Anderson to whom we looked to supplement uur resources, after diligent efforts en the part of members of,your Board aud other friends of the enterprise, declined to make any further subscription. Aud at this very time a suit instituted by certain delinquent tax? payers denying tho validity of the rail? road tax, was pending before the State Supreme Court, upon whose final result it is scarcely too.much to say, depended the collection of so much of the Abbe villo tax as might remain unpaid at tho time of its decision. But the darkest hour is just before the dawn, and to dis? pel this gloom, tho taxpayers of the Ab? beville Townships promptly came for? ward in the Fall and paid the first instal? ment or their taxes, $10,000 duo lust year, and Mr. C. H. McJJormick, of Chicago, paid in his handsome subscription of $3,000. The citizens of Anderson City, realizing tbe necessity of further aid to save the road, generously made ah additioual sub? scription of 825,000 iu bonds, making with her former subscription in bonds and the $12,000 in taxes, u sum total of $62,000. The necessary legislation was promptly procured to validate this additional sub? scription and consolidate the new with the former issue of bonds. The bonds were .speedily issued and placed upon tlie market, an^dT-were: promptly disposed of at their pa'r'value, a very nattering sale. With the proceeds, the debt incurred last year to carry on the work of grading was liquidated, and a sufficient surplus remains, we hope, with the second instal? ment of the Abbeville taxes to completo and pay for tbe entire grading under our contract. With this increase of funds tho force on the road was increased by seventy addi? tional convicts, making tho present force 124 hands; and to day there ic-mains to bo graded but about eight miles, in a single gap, just south of Lowndesville, and all ot which will be completed within the next three months To increase our good fortune tho Su? preme Court has, within tho past two weeks, rendered a favorable decision in our suir, thereby making certain the col? lection of ilk; delinquent taxes in Ander? son, and removing all doubtof tho collec? tion of the second instalment of tbe Ab? beville tax duo this Full; and to e.rown the whole your Hoard of Diiectors have within the last two weeks entered into a moat laVM.niblu contract with Mr. W. G. Kaotil, of Savannah, 1'resident of the Central System ?f Georgia, to iron and equip our road. This contract will be submitted for your information, aud I doubt not will command your approval. Its salient points are, that for a named amount of xtock and bonds of the road, Mr. Raoul agrees to iron the rood with new, heavy ateel rails, und to equip it at a first-class ro.id ; und whiUt as a matter of prudence mid precaution against un? foreseen contingencies he reserved three years in which to lay-tho traek, &c.;, he gave the positive assurance that ho would commence track-laying not later than tho lst-of July, and expects to bo across Lit? tle River by tho 1st of Septem bor, when he will be able to put bis organized force now upon the G., L. &S. R. It. upon out road, and will thence push it to comple? tion as rapidly as circumstances will per? mit. Wo see no reason why the trains should not be running through to Ander? son in twelve months, and such is our belief. We feel, therefore, that tho Board can with propriety congratulate you upon the bright prospect of a speedy completion of your road ; and we have only to express the hope that, having heretofore fully au? thorized the Board of Directors to do all that tbey have doue and engaged to do in their contract with Mr. Raoul, that you now promptly and cheerfully approve their action and con linn the contract made by them. There is no reasonable alterna? tive, in their judgment, for you. to consid? er or discuss. The reports of tho Treasurer of receipts and disbursements for tbe past twelve, months, and of tbe assots of the Com? pany for future operations, and of the Chief Engineer showing the progress and condition of tho work, are herewith sub? mitted for your consideration. W. W. Humphreys, President. This report, together with tho contract made with Mr. Raoul, was referred to a Committee consisting of Messrs. E. B. Murray, J. VV. Marshall, B. B. Allen, J. W. Nonis and S. C. Riley, who reported as follows: To the President and Stockholders of the Sa? vannah Valley Railroad : The Committee appointed to consider the report of the President, and also the contract entered into by the S. V. R. R. and W. G. Raoul, beg leave respootfully to report that they recommend that the report of tho Presi dent be adopted, and that the Convention congratulate the President and Directors upon their successful conduct of the af? fairs of the Company, and the Committee further recommend, the adoption of the accompanying resolutions, confirming tho contract with \V. G. Raoul. All of which is respectfully submitted, E. B. Muitray, Chm'n. The folluwing is tho resolution pro? posed : "Having heard read the contract enter? ed into by and between the President and Directors of the S. V, R. R. Co. and Mr. \V. G. Raoul for the completion of the S V. R. R., and believing said contract to b? for tbe best interests of said Company, and in conformity with the authority heretofore bestowed in tho Board of Di? rectors, Resolved. By tho stockholders of the Sa? vannah Valley Railroad Company, in Convention assembled, that the said con? tract be and is hereby fully approved, rat? ified and confirmed: and that the Prosi , dent and Board of Directors are fully authorized and ompowered to do*and per? form all things necessary and proper to be done in carrying out said contract on their part, including the issue aud delive? ry ot bonds,, secured by mortgage and stock, ?s provided for iu said contract." After a full verbal statement as to the effeot of the contract with Mr. Raoul, the report of the Committee and the append? ed resolutions were unanimously adopted. : The. report of Col,, C. S. Dwight, Chiof j Eugiueer, was read and reeeived as in for I mation. The report of Mr. W. S. Ligon, Treas? urer, was submitted and referred to a Committco consisting of Messrs. T. A. Sherard, J. A. Mosoly and J. B. Ramoy, whose report was adopted as follows : We have examined tue within report and vouchers and lind them correct. Tiios. A. Shkbard, Chairman of Com.

If you will do that, I will answer your charge of deroliction. J. G. CLTSK.SCALES. Mr.. Editor : I see an inquiry through the Intelligencer by "Who" asking if wo elected a School Commissioner. I answer frum tho extreme uppor portion of the County that we did. Although ho has not visited our schools in School Dis? trict No. 2, we accept his apology for not doing so. The Teachers*' Column, which is worth more than the subscription price of yonr invaluable pupor, Vac Intelli- . cjencer. has gone into every school in tho uppor portion Of tho County, and has done more toward stimulating the minds of tho people on tho subject of education than all School Commissioners have dono since tho office was created. Trustee. The District Conference. Mr. Editor: The District Conference fur Greenville District, which includes fifteen pastoral charges in four Counties, met at Piedmont on Thursday, 7th inst., and closed the business of a pleasant ses? sion on Saturday. Rev. T. G. Herbert, the Presiding Elder of this District, was President, and conducted the business with much ease and despatch. The at tendaucewas large, 58 delegates and min? isters beiug present the first morning, while a large number of visitors were present at each session. Col. H. P. Hauimett, President of the Piedmont Manufacturing Compauy, made a speech of welcome, and invited ub in a cordial manner to the hospitalities of this flourishing town of 1,500 inhabitants. And we were well entertained, indeed, and all the visitors have pleasant memo? ries of the few days stay with the kind families of Piedmont. I ought to have Raid that Geo. E. Prince was chosen Secretary, and found that lie had his hands full to keep up with fifteen Methodist preachers, and some others who had some talking ability. There was preaching twice each day and Revs. W. S. Martin, W. H. Kirtaon, W. D. Kirkland, P. E. of Cokesbury Dis? trict, and others preached sermons which gave food for thought, and. no doubt did much good. The spiritual interest of tho Church was carefully looked into, and while it was fonnd that the membership do not live up to a high spiritual standard in every respect, nor show the large lib? erality that they ought: yet are there many devoted men and women in the Church, striving to live for God and Heaven, and willing to labor and contri? bute money for Zion s welfare. How in? spiring are such meetings. While there are found many things to be deplored, 3'et is each one present impressed with the fact that he is not atone in trying to live right, and that many, very many, others aro studying how best to put the wrong right, and aro willing to spend and bo spent in furthering the Interests of tho Master's Kingdom. All this, and more, was realized In our late District Confer? ence, and no doubt the good results will extend aud remain for days to come. Dr. Jas. 11. Carlisle, President of Wof ford College, was present for one day, and although in very loeble health, spoke in an impressive and instructive manner from the subject, "The Church and her appliances intended to bless and holp the common man." The following persons wero elected to the next Annual Conference to be held in Columbia in Docombor: Col. H. P. Ham? me?, Rev. \V. A. Hodges, Col. John G Clinkscales and Geo. E. Prince, Esq. Seneca City was chosen as the next placo of meeting. Tho above are somo of the particulars of the most pleasant, and I believe, to me at least, the mo -' profitable District Con? ference I have so -ht attended. ' Yours truly, Jas. W. W?lling?. Information Wantod. Towkville, S. C, May Hi, 18S5. Messr.". Editors: It is known that for years this community in common with others lias boon troubled with the traffic in illicit whiskey. Until reccutly no de? termined effort has boon made to suppress it. In January last Mr. J. W. Bailey, of this place, at the instance of some of the citizen?, accepted appointment as United States Deputy Marshal with the under? standing that his operations were to be confined mainly to this immediate sec? tion. Up to this time he has made sev? eral arrests of persons, whites and blacks, who have been selling whiskey unlaw? fully. There are other offenders in sight, but it is rumored very generally that Mr. Bailey intends to or has already resigned. It is conceded that ho is "the right man in the right place," and as there is a general sentiment in favor of tho suppression of the traffic there is considerable surprise at his resignation or its contemplation. Will ho give the public his reasons therefor? 9 Uuion IUoetlng.
