Tho meeting of tho State Prcas Associ
ation closed a most pleasant and harmo
nious se&ion at Greenville laut week.
Col. T. B. Crews, of tho Laurensville
Herald, who haa held tho position of
president by successive elcctious for six
years, positively declined to do furthor
service, and Maj. M. li. McSweeny, of
tho Hampton Guardian, was unanimous
ly elected to succeed bim. The follow
ing arc the other officers elected t Vice
president, T. H. Clarke, of the Camden
Journal, and C. W. Petty, of tho Carolina
??parlan] Chaplain, The Rev. t?idl Ii.
Brown, of the Christian Neighbor ; Re
cording Secretary, J. B. Bonnor, cf tho
Associate Reformed Ihresbytcrian; Cor
responding Secretary, J. S. Perrin, of
tho Abbeville Momnger ; Treasurer, Maj.
Fr. Molchen?, of the Charleston Zeitung ;
Orator for the next meeting, Col. Jno.
W. R. Popo, o? tho Coluuibte Register ;
Alternate, Capt. M. L. Bonham, of the
Abbeville Messenger. Tho visiting Jour
nalists were most handsomely entertained
by tho hospitable citizens of Greenville,
and speak in tho most extravagant man- j
ne* 6T the pleasures of their visit. We ?
regret that tho INTELMOENCBH could
not be represented on the enjoyable oc
casion.
Wc aro glad to notice that a corres
pondent of the News and Courier is
writing a ?erica of articles on our Circuit
Courts, in which ho calls attention to tho
obstruction to business in tbe Courts of1
Common Pleas, the principal causo of
which he thinks is tho timo generally
occupied by the Courts of General
Session' and the uncertainty as to the
time vb. the Courts of Common Pleas
will opon. He montions several ways
by which he thinks the business of the
Courts could be expedited. Such as a
law fixing a day certain when the busi
of the Courts of Genera! Sessions
must close, curtailing tho time allowed
counsol for argument, or to leavo the
matter of time entirely in tho discretion
of the Judge, and dispensing with unan
imous verdicts of juries. Tho writer
is evidently one of our Circuit Judges,
as he is conversant with tho nature and
amount of tho business of tho Courts in
all the Circuito in the State. That some
action .la needed on tho part of our law
makers to remedy the evils that now
exists is certain, but what action will
best effect the desired object is not so
certain. We hope that the matter will
receive that attention from our Judges
and our Legislators which it deserves.
We have heard suggested as a remedy
for the evil an increoso of Circuit
Judges, but fall to see how thia would at
all mako more certain the day when the
Court of General Sessions will open. A
system of County Courts has also been
suggested, and to thia ?mo constitutional
objections have been raised. We hope
that something will bo dono to give the
desired relief.
THAT CHARGE OF WmTEW'Asn??TS.
The ANDERSON INTELLIGENCER de
clares that there was no whitewashing
when ?lae terrible revelations of the treat
ment of convicts on Augusta and Knox
ville Railroad were made in 1870. To
saBtalo ita declaration the report of the
legislative committee appointed to in
vestigate that affair is printed. It is too
long to reproduce here, but we have ex
amined it with some care.' and if it is bot
a clear and perfect whitewashing we
havo never seen one. Its general con
clusions aro that if anybody is to blame
for a death rate of over twenty-five nor
cent, it was T. W. Parmele, the Super
intendent of the penitentiary wLu held
over from the radical reign, and that it
was not dear that even he was in fault.
The editor of this newspaper knows
something bf tho matter as he bad
occasion to writo a long^eport of lt with
dates, details and names of witnesses^
. ready to the hand of anybody who chose
to nae them. There -was murder in a
variety of ways : In the stifling stock
ades, ia the heavy work and insuuicicnt
and Improper food and with bullet,
bludgeon, whh> aad gun stock. Yet the
committee, after a report exempting
everybody but Parmelo from blame,
coolly Bays:
''xho committee ? commend that it be
referred to the Attorney General for such
ncUon aa he may deem proper on .behalf
of tha State. Aoy^cithan of the State
^JwUl'also'hav.o, the right to institute a
: !.. : wKts?cuUon lb. aoV caso in which he may
; ; Ibel that tho law hos l?en violated."
Wo do ?pt know if the matter was re
ferred io th? Attorney General. We
never heard that he did anything or that,
any eoe hf the committee, chosen to rep
resent ? the law and the State in this
special matter, ever thought it worin
while to take action iu his capacity as
"any citizen" to have the subject veritl
lated and Investigated. Tho whole thing
was covered with whitewash an inoh
deep and dropped like a hot potato.
That is why wo have heard of similar
brutality to convicts ot intervals sinoe.

LOCAL OPTION I IT GKOKO?A.
The Ilouse of Representatives of our
?leter State, Georgia, last Friday passed
a general local option whiskey law, by
a vote of 111 to 22.
The Hill, as passed tho House, provides
that in any County, riot already having
Prohibition in some form or other, there
may be an election every two years until
whiskey is run out, and that wheu il is
once out it is out to slay.
There was considerable discussion on
tba Kill, and the samo arguments used
against it that we ofteu hear in our State,
yet the people of Georgia through her
Representatives iu the House Imvc
spoken, and in no uncertain words, that
tho whiskey traffic must be suppressed.
Tho Bill was ordered neal to tho Senate |
where it will doubtless pass.
We are glad to seo our sister State I
take such a bold stand for tho causo of
Temperance, abd hope that the day is
not distant when South Carolina will
fellow tho example. Her citizens now
and then speak out in no unmistakable
terms in favor of Prohibition. Tho
friends of Temperance in Andereon
County only await tho opportunity to
make a bold fight against whiskey, and
by their votes to say that they are
unwilling for the whiskey traine to be
carried on in this County. When tho
issue comes, as como it must, they can
not fail, for the fight ii in tho interest of
morality and prosperity, of manhood
and tho youth of our land, and of tho
vivo and mothers of all our citizens.
Thus, let the issuo como as soon as prac
ticable.
Chewing Tobacco In Church?
Mit. EDITOR: Inoverknow that man
was the nastiest thing on earth which
God created until a fow days nineo. Man
undoubtedly is tho nastiest of all nasties
known to woman, at least ; and yet some
men, in somo places, aro very nico at
thaw*. WheU he is visiting your bouse
he will, of course, lake off bis hat at the
door, and tako his cood of tobacco out of
his month, throw it away and walk into
the parlor with such a smile upon his
countenancu that you at onco pronounce
bim a nice gentleman. And so he is and
would be so long as ho romaiued in your
house. Ho would not think of taking a
chow of tobacco or smoking while ho re
mains. Ho has too much respect for
yon ; he would not think of such a thing
for a moment. Why ? Because ho has
no desiro to insult you, and for many rea
sons not necessary to mention.
Now, if man can bo and is sunh a nico
being at your house, why is it that be
will so unceremoniously abnse a house
that belongs to all who C1K.OSO to visit it
-that is, tho Church. When I see a
Church stalnod with puddles of tobacco
joice I feel ashamed of my fellow-men.
If a man would think only once where
he was-not only in the house of God,
but in the presence of tho very ladies
whose duty it is to bee after the cleanll
I ness of tho Church 1 Did I say it was
j the duty of tho ladies to sou after the
Church? Whether it is their duty or
not they have to do it in self-defence.
If the ladies were to stay away from
Church one year, I don't believe the men
could get out of the building with decent
clothes. If they had to wear a lady's
dress I am suro they could not.
Now, I havo saw lately pools of to
bacco juice'almost deep enough to drown
a yearling duck-in tho Church, in God's
joueo. I havo seen a lady's white dress
so badly smearod that she had to pin a
handkerchief on her drer * to hide the
dirty stain from the view of these tobacco
factories who are walting outside, ready
to make a remark about the unfortunate
one.
, If I were to mako tho assertion that no
gentleman would chow and spit on my
floor, everybody would say that I was
correct. If I wore to throw him out for
spitting upon my furniture you would
say I served him right. Suppose I wore
to say that any mas who would chev
tobacco and spit upon tho floor, of a
Church waa no gentleman, what would
you say ? Nov, if you have no respect
for God and His bouse, do baye enough
for the ladies not to spit upon the floor.
Remember this next Sabbath when you
enter God's house, that when you spit
upon tho Church you spit upon God.

Artificial Limbs. t -
The Columbia correspondent of the
-/Vc if j and 'Cbyntr says :
At tho Comptroller General's office to
day I made inquiry as to tho disposition
of the appropriation of $9,000 made by
tho Legiilature at its last session for giv
ing tho ' valuo" of the appropriate arti
ficial Jimba to soldiers of the State who
had lost legs or arras in the war. It will
be remembered that this was the last of
st series of appropriations toward the
same end. At first artificial limbs were
bought and supplied by the State, but
they proved worthless. Subsequently,
the terms of the annual appropriations
were BO changed that the value of the
limbs was given to thew who. proved
their claims to them, and those who had
received worthless appliances wore allow* ,
ed to draw their proportion bf ibo money

Thc Atlanta Pay-Car Robbery.
ATI.AKTA, GA., July 17.-The darin?
theft of thu nay car of the Richmond
and Danville Railroad from the passen
ger depot in this city, for a moment
hauled the skill of the police officers, but
the shrewdest ones among them bad no
hesitancy in singling out Charlie Rose,
An ex-yardmaster of the road, as the
leader of the desperadoes. They at once
begun acting upon this suspicion, evi
dently under Information received from
i'aymaster Grosor, and before night tbe
circumstances brought together left no
doubt aa to Rose's guilt. At midnight,
before the truiu was stolen, Charlie Rose,
with five companions, was seen near tho
ftlolcn engine. When Paymaster Groser
awoke und found lu,- car in motion, be
put his head out of tho window and
called out:
"Where arc you going?"
"You arc the mau we want, d-n you,
was the response, as four shots were fired
in the direction of the affrighted pay
master.
"I know you, Charlie Rose," replied
Grosor, as be realized that he was in tho
hands of thioves. For threa years
Groser had carried the name of Rose on
biri payroll, taking his receipt every
month, so tboro could bo no mistake in
bis identification. Tho police at once
fell upon tho trail of the desperado and
his companions who were fleeing through
tito countrv behind .Stone Mountain
toward Gw'unett, whero Rose formerly
lived, and the news of bis arrest is mo
mentarily expected. Nolan, whoso
arrest hos been previously noted, was a
companion of Charlie Rose. A notable
arrest was that of David FoBsett, a dis
charged colored employee of the Rich
mond and Danville Road, which was
mcdo during the day. In his pocket was
found the miking switch key, with which
tho switcli was thrown open to allow tho
engine to run hu .-ir to the pay car.
The story cf Charlie Rose is one of j
strauge tragic iutere*t. One year ago he
lived in Atluuta with his wife Jennio,
aud his cousin, Nancy Frazer. The
shocking story of tho murder of bis wife,
of the implication in that crime of Nancy
Frazer and Clara Sufjgs, of the death of j
Nancy aftor giving birth to a child with
a scar occupying the placo of one eye,
and tho rapid downfall and final miser
able death of Clara, is familiar to the
readprs of the News and Courier. Char
lie Rose, grown insolent Mince tho death
of the two witnesses against him,
returned tu tho city and has lived the
lifo of a vagabond. He waa discarded
by the Rieb moud and Danville Compa
ny, and this led bim Into a formation of
tho conspiracy to steal the pay car on
ita next arrival in tho city. His com
panions, nil of whom are now located by
the police, aro discharged employees of j
the samo road. Roso is a graceless, hap
fiy-go-lucky scamp, confident in the be
lei that bc can, for tho secoud time,
defy tho law.
The officers came closo upon Oharlio
ROBO thia morniug in Gwinnett County,
but he again oluded them.
That Stroke of" Lightning.
Mr. E. C. Scheaffar, who was struck
by lightning on the 26th ult., ia now
able to be at work and has moved his
shoo shop to the room over tho brick
stable in rear of Dr. Brown's drug store,
known aa "Earle'a" stables. We called
at his shop on Monday last and he gave
ii? the following account of tho stroke :
'_io stated that on the evening of the
storm he wont to the door and looked
out and saw very angry looking clouds
overhead, with lightning flashingIn every
direction ; he closed tue door and waa
standing in tho floor leaning on a chair,
whon he received a shock that turned
him completely around and be fell to
the floor. It was all done so quickly he
could not perceive that the lightning had
struck the rear end of bis shop, torn a
hole through tho wall, entered and given
him a shaking up. He again got on his
fcot and examined tho wreck of bis shop,
and looked out and saw where the light
ning had torn up a tree in front. He
wont to "Earle'a" stablea aud told -hie
story, wbch Mr. Dick Richardson and
others accompanied him back to see
where the lightning had struck the
building. The room seemed to have a
sulphurous amell.
AU of thia timo be did not know he
waa injured, but only folt a littlo dazed
Soon after, however, his feet began to
swell and Mr. Roso carried him home in
c. buggy, as bo could not wear his shoes
on account of the swelling. After his
arrival homo, he examined his feet,
which were paining him very much and
found a hole in each heel. He sent for
Doctor R. H. Rutledge, who arrived the
next morning and dressed the wounda.
Ho pulled ott his ahces and showed us
the wounda in the bottom of bia beela,
which are not faat curing up. Ho stated
that they were ragged at the edge as if
mado by the exit ola bullet, the size of
one's little finger. They were not probed,
therefore be did not know bow deep they
extended. Water and blood oozed from
the wound for about ten days.
Ho also chowed us the shoes he wore
on the occasion. In the heel of each
shoe waa an indenture as if made by a
bullet. One of the aldea of one of the
ahoe solea waa torn off and the other was
torn on the upper where lt connecta with
tbe sole.
Mr. Scheaffar also stated there waa no
mark or scar on bis person except those
mentioned and a small hart on one of
his toes at the bottom. He ia now about
well, having only a slight dizziness in his
head. He resides three miles from the
city on the Laurens road, and has been
working in thia city for aoveral years.
Dr. Rutledge's statement of the affair
corroborates that of Mr. Scheaffar, and
the Doctor says he cannot account for
the lightning entering the man's body
without breaking tho skin, as it evidently
did from tho cooks of the rugged wounda
made at the bottom of tho heels, which
resembled those made by the exit of a
bullet-- Greenville Enterprise and Moun
taineer.

Coffeo County, Georgia, on tho lino of tho
Brunswick and Albany Railroad.
Mr. D. E. Gaskin, a well known cltir.cn
of that village, writes under dato or
Decembor 22<f :
Soon after my inarriago, about four
years ago, my wife was stricken with
sonto trouble peculiar to her aex, which
broke down her general health. lu this
condition ?ho was soon after attacked
with Inllammatorv Rheumatism of such a
severe typo that It mado her a cripple.
She was reduced in flesh to alxty-rlvo
founds, and came very near losing hor
ifc. She was attended by three good
physicians who treated her with somo
benefit, but tho ?welling in her joints
never left her. Last summer the itbou
mattflm returned in a still moro severe
and painful form which scorned to defy
tho skill of all tho doctors. She would
almost go frantic with pain, and would
lie and scream all day- A friend of mine,
who is an engineer on the Brunswick ec
Albany Railroad, suggested that I should
use SwiR's 3poeiflc (S. S. S.), which I
did. After sho had taken one small bot
tle she waa up and ablo to walk over tho
nouao, and after taking tho six small bot
tles she ls now able to do any kind of
houso work ; the swelling has gone, all
tho pain has leR hor, and RUO IS in bettor
hoalth than she ever was. Tho treatment
before using the Swift's Specific cost mc
bot ween $3T>0 to $400, and ihn six bott'cs
or S. 8. S. cost me six dollars.
It is certainly thc most wondai ful
medicine and tho best blood purifier in
tho world. Tho proprietors should lot
tho world know about it. ?
NOTK -Tho S. S. S. Company wish to
caution purchasers in regard to tue
numerous imitations of their good.v
Some carry the lia on tho face, purporting
to be vegetable remedies; which, in fact
they aro really strone solutions of pois
onous minerals-as Mercury, Potash, otc
Bo careful to get thc gonulnc.

MOFKATTS VILLE, S. C., April 7th, 1S85.
MESSRS HILL BROS.-Gentlemen: I used the
American Fruit Preserving Powder and
Liquid last year, and it is with much satis
faction I add my testimony to its virtues.
The fruit and vegetables I used it with are
now in a perfect state of preservation with
natural taste ard smell. The advantage of
thia over canning fruit is thut it keeps
larger packages, is more reliable-, and can
be opened and used from time to time
without damage. Respectfully,
MKS. THOMAS A. SHERAIID.
MESSRS. HILL BROS.- Gentlemen: The
America!) Froit Preserving Powder and
Liquid I bought from you last year, is all
that you recommended it to bc. Wc used
it nu peaches, apples and vegetables, and
they are preserved perfectly without un
pleasant taste or smell, and wo have used
them from the day they were put up with
out any damage. I heartily recommend it
ad a perfect preservative of all kinds of
fruit and vegetables. Respectfully,
IL A. KLROD.
MESSES HILL linos.-Dear Sin: The
American Fruit Preserving Powder and
Liquid bas certainly been u success with
me. I have given il a fair trial on fruit, and
do unhesitatingly and heartily recommend
it. Thc fruit we put up with lt is now in
a perfect state of preservation with ur un
natural tasto or smell, and wc used !t out
of tbe vessels constantly without damage.
