We made a very glaring mistake bist
week in calling attention to Mr. L. H.
Seel's advertisement. We stated that be
bad secured the agency for the sale of the
"Common Sense- Well Lifter," when it
should have read "Common Sense Water
Lifter." . A "well lifter'? wculd certainly
be a curiosity.

Wo would direct the attention of our
i readers to the advertisement of Messrs.

agents in this city for the sale of tho cele?

desire to purchase a buggy or phaeton
should see this firm before purchasing.
Their prices are very low.
Rev. J. W. Daniel, who assisted Rev.
J. W. W?lling in the series of meetings
in the Methodist Church last week, has
won the esteem and admiration of every
one who had the pleasure of hearing him.
Mr. Daniel is an earnest, forcible speaker,
and his sermons were eloquent and full of
beautiful thoughts. He is certainly a
young man of fine talent, and is destined
to rank among the most popular and
prominent ministers of his denomination.
The' change in tbe advertisement of
Messrs. McCuily, Cathcart & Co. was
handed in too late for insertion this week,
but it will appear next woek. They de?
sire tba public not to forget that they aro
still agents for the celebrated Daniel
Pratt Gin, Feeder and Condenser, which
they.will sell at a very a low price and on
reasonable terms. ; This gin nover fails to
give satisfaction, and if any of our read?
ers oontemplate buying a gin, we would
ad vi so them to con for with Messrs. Mc?
Cuily, Cathcart & Co.
- Maj. Ellas McGee brought us a number
W of cotton blooms on last Friday, running
back for several days. Tho first bloom
appeared on Monday, 22ud of Juno. All
of thorn were taken from fields upou
which the Generostee fortilizor, manufac?
tured in Anderson, was used. Maj.
McGee says that he used several kinds of
fertilizer, but that no blooms have ap?
peared on any other cotton than that un?
der which ho nsed tho Generostee. This
shows that the Anderson manufacturers
make the bost of fertilizers.
Hon. H". M. Prince, of Pelzor, sends us
the following note, which explains itself:
"In your report of our talk on crops, you
make me say my Dent corn was in full
tassel, when it should read in full silk, in
order to give a just idea of its advanced
condition, as all farmers know that sev?
eral days elapso after tasseling before silk?
ing. I now am able to say that it is in tbe
'roasting car' stage, with from two to five
silks to the stalk. Fodder will have to be
stripped by the 15th of July. Since har?
vesting I have planted five acres of good
stubble land in tho white Dent. Rain is
still abundant; too much for cotton, as it
tends to weed rather than fruit under
such rapid growth. If agreeable I will
give the results of my experiments with
early and late planting of tho Dent corn
to your readers. I have induced a good
* many others to make tests of it on a
Jbmall scale." Wo hope Mr. Prince will
Bgivo us the result of his experiment, as ;
r we know it will interest and, benefit our
On last Monday evening the John Jack
Comedy Company appeared in the Mason?
ic Hall in this city for the first time, pro?
ducing Falstaif. A small but apprecia?
tive audience greeted the Company. On
Tuesday evening the programme was very
entertaining, consisting of iurces, reoita
tions, songs, &c The leading actress is
Miss Annie Firmln, who is certainly the
brightest star that has ever appeared
before our people. As a commedian, Mr.
John Jack ranks very high. The Compa?
ny is first-class, and, should it remain in
Anderson another night we hope our peo?
ple will be more liberal in their patronage.
Last Tuesday morning Lizzie Pearman,
colored, entered Mr. Z. Sharp's residence,
while the family were in the back yard,
and was in the act of breaking open a
bureau drawer when she attracted the
attention of Mrs. Sharpe. When the wo.
man saw Mrs, Sharp, she ran, but was
overtaken in the yard and detained until
a policeman was sent for. She had secur?
ed a purse containing a small sum of
money. On Monday*; Mrs. Sayre's rosi
dence, adjoining Rev. T..-F. Gadsden,
was entered and a purse and some jewelry
stolen. It is believed the same woman
committed that crime also?
At a meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Savannah Valley Railroad Com?
pany, held in this city last Thursday, the
depot stations along the line were located
as follows: Dean's, Vinegar Road Cross?
ing, Lowndesville, Grave's, Hester's, Mt.
Carmel, and Dr. Gibert's. At some of
the points along the line the competition
for locations was pretty active. The par?
ties interested in tho locations aro required
I to enter into bonds for the grading of the
[ side track necessary and for the payment
of the amount of money proposed by
! them in their bids, or to pay the same
cash, and to convey to the Company by
deed one acre of ground for depots and
otheruse of the Company. The Compa?
ny gets over and above the grading of the
I side track and one acre of land, seven
hundred dollars from the community at
Dean's, four hundred from the Vinegar
Road Crossing, five hundred from Dr.
Gibert's, and three hundred each from
the other locations. The laying of the
track on tho Road is progressing rapidly,
tho first train having already passed over
a half milo or more of it
Quito a number of changes are to occur
this Fall in the business places of our
merchants, prominent among which is the
removal of the New York Cosh Storo from
their present location to the handsome
building owned and now occupied by
Messrs. B. F. Cray ton & Sons, adjoining
the National Bank. As will be seen by
his big advertisement, Mr. M. B. Arn?
stein proposes to close out the large stock
of goods now on hand, and when we call?
ed on him found him busily engaged with
his efficient clerks marking down the
prices and arranging goods for the "great
removal sale." Mr. Arnstein believes it
is profitable to get rid of goods when
times are dull, but his main idea is to
open his handsome new store this Fall
with only fresh, desirable and fashionable
goods?both np-stairs and down-stairs?
and this proves his fine business tact and
enterprise. "We bespeak for his new
store, which is larger, more commodious
and better adapted for tho proper display
of his extended stock, an increased trade,
and in wishing him all possible success
that his efforts deserve, we would advise
all to call at his present stand and take ad?
vantage of the bargains offered.
A Now Oil Mill Company.

and we have no doubt that it will' prove
beneficial alike to the community and to
the stockholders.

The Pioneer FJremen und The Yonng
America Cornet Band Win the First
Prizes at tho Grieuvllle Tournament?
Their Reception at Homo.
As was stated last week, about thirty
of tbe Fioneer Firemen ^end the Young
America Cornet Band, together with a
number of ladies and gentlemen, left An
derson on Tuesday afternoon, 23rd ult.,
in special cars attacked to the freight
train, via Belton, for Greenville, to par?
ticipate in and witness the Firemen's
Tournament, which came off in that city
on the 24th and 25th ult. At Belton the
party met the special excursion train,
.containing the Columbia Firemen and a
large number of excursionists, and pro?
ceeded to Greenville, arriving Ihere about
9 p. m. Tho visiting Firemen were met
at the depot by the Greenville Firemeu,
who escorted them to tho Armory of the
Butler Guards, where refreshments were
served and a general reunion held. The
Colored glee club of this city nccompanied
the Pioneers. This club and our "Boy
Band" furnished music during the even?
ing, and wore loudly applauded.
At tbe conclusion of the reception tho
Pioneers were marched to Gower <fc Rcil
ly's Hall, where they were assigned
quarters.
Wednesday morning, at 9 o'clock, a
grand parade took place, which was par?
ticipated in by tbe Firemen and tbe
Band.
At 5 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
the reel contest occurred, the following
teams entering: B. E. Lee, of Greenville,
Spartan, of Spartanburg, Phoenix, of Co?
lumbia, Independent, of Cha?otte, and
the Pionoer, of Anderson. The rules re?
quired the engines to be stationed at a
certain place; teams to run 100 yards with
reel and 200 feet of hose, attach to engine,
uncouple, attach nozzle, and throw water
50 feet through 100 feet of hose. One
runner was allowed to each 75 pounds of
weight of reel and hose, besides the pipe
man and plugman.
The first team to run was the Indepen?
dent, of Charlotte, followed by the R. E
Lee team, of Greenville, and then the
Spartan team, of Spartanburg. Tho Pio?
neer team of Anderson followed next.
In speaking of this contest, the Green?
ville News says:
Then came the daisies?the Pioneers of
Anderson, sixteen in number with the
handsomest captain on the ground, and
every man walking like a race horse.
Their reel weighed 1.130 pounds and they
were dressed in white stockinet shirts
and knee breeches and red stockings and
caps. Captain O'Donnell placed his men
carefully, looked them over with a steady
and critical eye, gave a few last warnings
and then the word to go. And they went
like the wind, and went through with?
out hitch, balk or bungle. There did not
seem to be an instant of hesitation any?
where and the team worked like clock
work, making a faultless test and winning
the applause of the crowd even before
the figures appeared announcing the great
time of 22J.
The Anderson men were jubilant but
they refrained from jubilating much as
they contemplated the formidable team
to follow them?the Phoenix, of Colum?
bia, commanded by Capt. Pat Meehan
who is in firemen's tournaments what
Archer is on the turf?a veteran who
knows the rules by heart and studies
every foot of the ground and every mo?
tion of his mon and can make winning
where winning is. possible. He has a
good team throughout, but it ran handi?
capped with the heaviest reel in the con?
test, weighing over 1,300 pounds, and two
men short of the allowance. 150 pounds
is not much on wheels distributed among
twelve men, but it counts in a run of a
hundred yards when it is a question of
seconds and quarter seconds. Tho run,
like that of Anderson, was beautifully
done, but it fell a second and a quarter
behind, the time allowed being 232
Then Anderson shouted sure enough.
Captain O'Donnell was borne down the
course on the shoulders of his team, the
Anderson band struck up a strain of
triumph, present and former citizens of
Anderson joined in a storm of cheers
and jubilantly shook hands with the
team and each other and sent off tele?
grams. The performance was really a re?
markable one for a company organized
last year and participating in its first
tournament, and the men deserved the
praise and congratulations showered on
them from all sides.

This record makes the Pioneers the
champions of the State. It was said by
many Firemen at Greenvillo that it was
the best time ever made in tho South. In
the Tournament at Augusta recently, the
best time mado was 22 seconds, but the
hose was attached to a hydrant instead of
an engine, which, it is said, makes con?
siderable difforenco in securing water, the
hydrants being quicker than the engines.
Tho Pioneers did not tako their engine
to Gieonville with them, as they did not
intend entoring tho steamer contest. In
tho reel contest they used the Spartau
steamer, which was kindly tendered them
by tho Spartans. The Pioneers aro very
grateful to them for this courtesy, and
will ever remember them with tho kind?
est feelings.
In the "grab" contest the Pioneers, like
the Phcenix, of Columbia, by an accident,
failed on the attachment to tho engine.
In this contest the R. E. Lee, of Green?
ville, won the first prize.
On Wednesday evening the citizens of
Greenville tendered a grand banquet to
to the visiting firemen. The occasion
was an exceedingly pleasant one, and
was highly enjoyed by all present.
On Thursday morning at 10 o'clock the
Band contest occurred. The prize was
$50. There woro three entries, as follows:
Black's Station Brass Band, Taylor's Sta?
tion Brass Band and the Young America
Cornet Band of Anderson. The News, in
speaking of this contest, says :
The judges woro B. Wehrlo and W. D.
Mnnson, of Greenville, and R. D. Sloan,
of Piedmont, each an experienced musi?
cian and a veteran performer in bands.
The contestants each played three pieces,
selected by themselves. They were judg?
ed on timo, execution, harmony and ex?
pression, and were marked by a maximum
of 100 each. Tho maximum for each
piece was, thoroforo, 400, and the total
maximum for perfection, 1,200. Aftor the
performance was over the crowd waited
with much anxiety fur tho clocisiou.
Many bolieved that the Black's Station
band had won. but popular sympathy was
with tho plucky little fellows from An?
derson. When tho judges announced
that the Young Americas had made 825
of a possible 1,200 and taken the prize,
the applause was vociferous and very
enthusiastic, and the appropriate repre?
sentatives of Young America were the
Hons and heroes of the hour, and had
congratulations showered on them. Pop?
ular sympathy seemed to veer around,
howover, iu favor of tho Black's Station
baud, aud there was a general feeling that
the judges had been govornod moro by
their sympathies than by their judgment
in making up their report. This matter
was investigated by a representative of
tho News. The judges are conscientious
and capable gentlemen with no imagina?
bly reason for bias, and they declare dis?
tinctly that they made their allowances
only on tho unanimous agreement of their
judgment.
When the result of the Band contest
was announced, tho Andersoniana say
they never saw such an enthusiastic
crowd of spectators. The stand on which
the Young America? rendered their mu?
sic was picked up by the crowd, while tho
boys we're playing, and carried down tho
stroet for a hundred yards or more. Of
course the Andersoniana felt happy over
the result.
Owing to the feet that the telegraph
wire was down between Anderson and
Greenville, the news of tho Pioneers' vie*
tory did not rea?h Anderson ?ntil about
11 a. na. Thursday, and early in tho after*
noon another telegram was received an?
nouncing the victory of the Young
America Cornet Band.
When tho news was received a shout
went up from many voices on the streets,
and it was at once suggested that a recep?
tion be tendered the Pioneers and the
Band upon their arrival at home. An in?
formal meeting of a number of citizens
was immediately held at Messrs. Crayton
& Son's store to take the necessary steps
to this end. It was soon ascertained that
tho special train would not arrive here
until about 11 p. in., and it was decided
, to postpone the reception until Friday
afternonn. Committees were appointed,
and they immediately went to work ar?
ranging for the reception. A committee,
! of which Mr. B. Frank Mauldin was
, chairman, was also appointed to be at tho
depot that night on tho arrival of the
train and welcome tho successful victors
home.
Notwithstanding tho lato hour, a largo
Crowd of citizens" accompanied the com?
mittee to tho depot. The train rolled in
about 11 o'clock, imd when the excur?
sionist* vacated the cars, yell after yell
wont up from the crowd. As soon as
quiet was rostored, Mr. Mauldin, in behalf
of the city, in a few appropriate re?
marks, cordially welcomed the Pioneers
and the Band back home, and told them
that the citizens were arranging a recep?
tion for them on the following afternoon.
the PARADE and reception.
On Friday afternoon a number of ladies
repaired to the engine house, and beauti?
fully decorated the engine with Bweet
flowers. Shortly after 6 o'clock the Pio?
neers, with their engine, formed in pro?
cession, andj headed by the Yonng Amer?
ica Cornet Band and the committee of
arrangements, marched through several
streets, and finally halted on the Court
House Square.
In the procession were two banners,
which had been prepared by Mr. Irvine
Twitty. On one was a large rooster,
with this incription: "We got thor in
22i." On one side of the other appeared
this inscription: "18 Daises?Put your
foot on them if you can catch them."
On the other Bide was written: "The
Young Americas are little, but they blow
their own horns."
When the column halted Dr. R. F.
Divver stepped forward, and in an enthu?
siastic speech, presented the Pioneer
team with a beautiful wreath of flowers
from Mrs R. M. McDonald, of Greenville.
Mr. A. W.Todd, in behalf of the Pioneers,
received the wreath, and responded in ap?
propriate remarks, saying the team
highly appreciated the token, and would
enclose it in a neat glass case and hang it
in their hall, whero it would ever appear
as a pleasant memento of their trip to
Greenville. The wreath was an exceed?
ingly beautiful one. Attached to
it was a miniature broom, which sig?
nified the sweeping victory of the Pioneers.
Maj. E. B. Murray, Mayor Tolly and
Dr. S. M. Orr then, in a pleasing manner,
addressed the Pioneers and the Band,
aftor which the Firemen, with a number
of invited guosts, repaired to the Armory,
of tho Palmetto Riflemen, where tho ban?
quet was hold. By invitation, the
Young America Cornet Bund repaired to
the hospitable home of Hon. D. S. Max?
well, where they were served with deli?
cious rofreshments. From Mr, Maxwell's
tho Band went to the Armory.
A long table was spread in the Armory,
aud on it a sumptuous repast was served.
The committee of arrangements wore
very attentive, and everyone present was
served in the most hospitable and abun?
dant manner. Theso delicacies being dis?
posed of, toasts were next in order.
The following toasts were offered and
responded to by the gentlemen named:
Maj. E. B, Murray: "The Pioneer Fire
Company?victorious in their first con?
test, may their triumph here be an
earnest of still greater achievements in
store for them."
Responded to by Chief J. M. Cathcart.
Capt. P. K. McCnlly: "The Successful
Team?The victory they have won may
sorve as a stepping stono to greater ones
in the future"
Responded to by Capt. Frank O'Don
nell.
Mr. J. L. Tribblc: "The Friends of the
Fire Department?True to your convic?
tions, you have stood by the Fire Depart?
ment of Anderson in its darkest hours of
discouragement, and now that laurels of
victory crown our 'Pioneers,' while ro
joicing with thorn over encourage them in
their laudable but arduous work."
Responded to by Mayor G. F. Tolly.
Mr. J. M. Sullivan: "Tho Engineers of
the Pioneer Fire Company?Health, hon?
or, happiness and continued usefulness to
the gallant engineers."
Responded to by Dr. R. F. Divver.
Capt. J. E. Allen: "City Coudcilof An?
derson."
Responded to by Mr. B. Frank Maul?
din.
Gen. W. W. Humphreys: "The Young
America Cornet Band?Infants in years,
their skill is marvelous, their peformance
phenomenal, may they receive that en?
couragement which their efforts so richly
merit."
Responded to by Col. J. W. Trow
bridge.
Mr. B. Frank Mauldin: "The Press
Sentinels upon the watchtowers of our
country, tho power that checks corruption
and the handmaid of Christianity in ad?
vancing civilization."
Responded to by Maj. A. S. Todd.
A number of gentlemen were called
upon for impromptu speeches, and nearly
all of thorn responded in appropriate re?
marks. At intervals during the ovening
the Young America Band rondorod sweet
music.
The crowd dispersed about 10 o'clock,
the ovening having been groatly enjoyed
by all present. Indeed, we do not re?
member to have attended a more pleas?
ant occasion in Anderson, and it will not
soon be forgotten by those present.
The Pioneers speak in the highest terms
of their treatment and the manner in
which they were eutertained by the gal?
lant Firemen and the hospitablo citizens
of the Mountain City. Nothing occurred
to mar the pleasures of the Tournament,
which will ever bo remembered with the
most pleasant momories.
Anderson has every reason to be proud
of her Fire Department, and moro so now
than ever. Boing the youngest in tho
State, it is a little remarkablo tint it has
tho champion rocl team. They won tho
championship fairly and honorably, amid
groat disadvantages, and henco desorvod
tho domonatration which was mado over
them upon their return to the city.
