Walter Sassard, a nine-year old son of
Mrs. Amanda Sassard, met with a most
Sainfal accident in this city on lost Mon
ay about 12 o'clock. He was sitting on
the floor of the piazza at his home
amusing himself by popping matches on
an old rusty worn-out pistol. While
thus engaged, the occupants of the house
were startled by the report of a pistol and
the screams of the little fellow. His
mother ran to him and was horrified to
find that he had been shot, the ball hav?
ing entered his left side, near the tenth
rib. Dr. J. O. Wiihite was immediately
summoned. He probed for the ball,
Which was of a 22-calibre size, but could
not find it, and its exact location is not
yet known. The old pistol had been
among Walter's play-things for BOine
time, and no one knew that it con?
tained a load. Wednesday, morning the
little fellow was doing very well, and
though he is not yet out of danger, the
physicians arc hopeful of his recovery.
On last Thursday afternoon Buy Iis Wil?
liams, a colored boy, was accidentally
shot and killed on the plantation of Mr.
W.B.Watson, about three miles North
of the city. Coroner Nance held an in?
quest over the deceased on Friday morn?
ing. From the testimony it seems that
Baylis Williams, in company with his
brother, Frederick Williams, and John
T. McClellan, a white boy, together with
two or three other children, were out
hunting. McClellan had a shot gun with
him. Becoming tired of bunting, they
sat down on the ground in the shade and
were playing mumble-peg, when Freder?
ick Williams picked up McCleilan's gun
and was examining it. McClellan,*in a
playful manner, attempted to take his gun
away from Williams, and in the scuffle
that ensued the gun was discharged, the
whole load entering the stomach of Bay?
lis Williams, killing him almost instant?
ly. . The verdict of the Coroner's jury was
in accordance with these facts.

Teachers' County Normal.
The County Normal is a success?a
grand success. Prof. W. S. Morrison,
the principal, gets about his work with
theeaso and dignity of an experienced
and progressive teacher. Miss Fannie C.
McCants, a teacher in the graded schools
of Columbia, has charge of the language
lessons, history and geography. By her
earnest, unassuming manner,' she' has
already evidently won the hearts of all
her teacher-pupils. Dr. Lander, well
known to the citizens of Anderson County
as a live, progressive teacher, has charge
of arithmetic, and never fails to interest
and instruct his pupils and the spectators
when he takes the floor. The teacher
! pupils express themselves as delighted
j with the instructors and their methods of
! instructing. The exorcises become more
j and more interesting at each succeeding
[ session. Twenty minutes are allowed for
I general discussion after each recitation.
! One very attractive feature of the In?
stitute is the discussion by the instructors
and teachers of the questions found in
tbo question box. Tho discussions aro
humorous, practical and impressive.
Miss McCants has a class of ten or
twelve little boys and girls whom she in?
structs in writing and geography. Thus
she not only tells the teachers how to
teach, but actually shows them how to in?
struct a class. The exercise is delightfully
interesting to the spectators, and, if we
may judge from the sparkling eyes of
the children, it must be charming to
them. If there is a teacher in the County
who is tugging away at his school this
week, let him, if he should happen to read
these lines before the end of the week,
drop his books, dismiss his school at once
and come to the Normal if he can only
remain one hour. In our humble judg?
ment, if we are competent to judge, this
week's training of the teachers will bo
worth more to the children and to the
educational interests of the Couuty than
all the teaching that has been done in it
for the last twelve months. We look
upon this Normal as the most telling step
forward that has ever been taken in An?
derson County in the interest of the pub?
lic schools. We congratulate our inde?
fatigable School Commissioner, and do:
not wonder at tbo extra broad smile that
now lights up bis usually cheerful face.
The following is a list of the teachers
?resent at the opening exercises of the
formal. This large attendance is ex?
tremely gratifying to the School Commis?
sioner who has been very anxious about
the matter. He has for several weoks
been urging upon the teachers the impor?
tance of attending the exercises of the
first Normal held in tho County. We
rejoico with him and congratulate the
patrons of the public schools upon the
success of tho Commissioner's eirorts to
improve tho teachers und through them
greatly benefit the children. The follow?
ing are the teacbors present, two of whom
are troll) other Counties :

A Startling Development.
Tho Greenville Neva of Sunday morning
contains the following account of recent
arrests in that town for counterfeiting,
which will greatly surprise our readers,
many of whom are acquainted with the
defendants, and will anxiously await the
result of the investigation into the truth
of the charges made. The News says:
The tranquil town of Williamston,
eighteen miles below here, is now in a
condition of excitement not equalled since
the famous elopement that disturbed its
serenity several years ago, and everybody
is discussing the arrests made from this
city on Friday evening.
It has been whispered around for some
time that somebody m Williamston was
engaged in making and circulating coun?
terfeit money, and there are now a num?
ber of peoplo who claim to have known
all about it. From statements made by
citizens of Williamston there has been a
surprising degree of publicity in the mat?
ter and the only wonder is that the official
descent has not been made before. In
consequence of information received
Deputy Marshal K. A. Dickson went to
Williamston on Thursday, and with very
little difficulty obtained material for a
case against J. J. Cooley and A. J. Bun-att.
. Both the men are prominent in the com?
munity* They are wardens of the town
and Cooley is acting intendant in the
absence of that officer. Surratt is a shoe?
maker and has apparently made a very
fair living by his trade. Cooley is a far?
mer and has a cotton gin and is the owner
of a considerable property.
Mr. Dickson returned here and obtained
a warrant from TJ. S. Commissioner Hey?
ward, and he and Deputy Marsbai H. F.
Williams went down on Friday. They
failed to find either Cooley or Surratt at
home, the former having gone to mill,
while the other had come to this city.
In the, evening, however, Cooley was
found lying on a bench in the town park
watching a game of base hall, and was
immediately arrested. Soon alter Surratt
was captured as he rode into town on his
return. The prisoners were brought here
that night and lodged in jail a 1 o'clock.
Yesterday. the officers returned to Wil
liamston and captured what they claim is
a complete outht of counterfeiting tools;
including a galvanic battery. These
things were found in a loft over Surratt's
shoe shop and were brought here to be
used in evidence.
Cooley on yesterday gave ball in the
' sum of $1,000 for his appearance for trial,
and was released. He is well connected
and it is said, could have given $25,000
bail if it bad been required.
The officers claim that they have a clear
cane and.can establish the fact that the
prisoners have been making counterfeit
dollar pieces on scientific principles and
have had them extensively circulated.
One of them is said to have had a very
decided talent for chemistry and to have
used it in the business. Both the prison?
ers are reticent and declined making any
statement.
The Greenville News of Tuesday gives
the llowing additional particulars :
The cases of A. J. Surratt and J. J.
Cooley, the citizens of Williamston charg?
ed with counterfeiting coins of the United
States were heard before Commissioner
Hawthorne on yesterday. George West?
moreland appeared for Mr. Surratt and
Col. W. H. P^rry for Mr. Cooley. The
only important evidence presented was
S'ven by Messrs. Greer, Burgiss and
odges and a colored man named Jerry
Seewright. It showed very clearly that
the defendants had been trying experi?
ments in imitating silver dollars, and had
made some of the imitations and some
imitation nickels, and had some rough
and crude implements apparently design?
ed for use in that way. It Yfosproved that
several scraps of metal with holes the
size of the dollar, and others boariug part
of the impress of the same uoin had been
found in Surratt's shop, and Seew right
testified that on going there early one
morning he found a pile of new nickels
on Surratt's work bench. A galvanic
battery and a vise of strange and unusual
s^ape were also found, with a number of
bottles of chemicals including- nitrate of
silver, quicksilver and cynide of potas
sum. There was no evidence of any
attempt to pass the counterfeits.
The commissioner decided to bail the
prisoners in the sum of $>I,000 each^Pfje"
of Mr. Cooley's bondsmen^a^?j^j for
released but asubsj^i^y^ wmproba
^1im\v^?TO^Hay. Both the prisoners
3Xrnfi ed to make any statement in advance
of their trial except a general denial of
guilt. From the questions asked the
witnesses c i cross examination, however,
it was evident that it will be claimed for
the defence that the galvanic battery was
one obtained by Mr. Surratt for the pur?
pose of plating some worn brass watches
and that others of the chemicals wero for
the same purpose.
The Y. M. C. A. and Its Work.
Hon. H. G. Scudday, as General Secre?
tary of the Y. M. C. A., has concluded his
tour of tho State and is again settled
down at home. He hns mot with a very
cordial reception at every town and city
visited throughout the Stato, and has suc?
ceeded in organizing many new Associa?
tions and reviving old ones. Tho State
work could not have been placed in more
efficient hands than his, as lie is familiar
with every detail of the work of the As?
sociation. The real objects of tho Y. M.
C. A. havo never before been properly
presented to the people of the State, and
Mr. Scudday's efforts will doubtless give
a new impetus to the work of Associa?
tions in everv town and city whore such
an organization exists. We h?be he will
now give his attention to Anderson, and
see if he can't revive tho Association hero.
We had an Association in Anderson fur
several years, but its work was simply
confined to a prayer meeting in Temper?
ance Hall every Sunday afternoon* As
might be expected, this alone did not at?
tract the attention and interest of our
boys and young men, and consequently
the Association went down. Of course,
the main object of the Association is to
bring young men to Christ, but it must
not be expected that this can be done
only through the weekly prayer meet?
ings. There are numbers of young men
and boys who never attend a prayer meet?
ing, therefore they can not bo reached.
It 13 this class specially, then, that the
Association seeks to interest. To do this,
the social, mental and physical welfare of
these young men and boys must first bo
looked after. By doing this you soon get
them interested in the organization, and
the way is opened for successful Christian
effort in their behalf, and they will soon
be brought into the Church. The Y. M,
C. A. is a stepping stone to the Church,
as has been demonstrated throughout this
broad land of ours. It is an organization
not of any particular denomination, but
of the Church evangelical, and therefore
should enlist the co-operation and encour?
agement of every Christian.
There are many ways in which tho As?
sociation could do good work in Ander?
son. Go on our streets after business
hours and see how numbers of our young
men and boys 6pend their time. They
should be looked after. It is tho duty of
parents to fostor and encourage any or?
ganization that will tend to improve the
[ moral and mental, as well as the spiritual,
welfare of their boys. The Y. M. C. A
will do this. If tho work of the Associa?
tion is properly brought to the attention
of our poople. we bclievo they will take
hold of it. We hope a meeting will be
arranged in this city at an early day, and
Mr. Scudday be requested to present the
practical workings of the Association to
our people. His familiarity with tho
work will no douhl enablo him lo present
somo plan by which an Association may
be established here on a pormanent basis.

AND THEN PLEASE BEAR IN MIND that we want the money kept at home;
that we intend purchasing a Stock of Goods in every way fitted for a city ten times
the size of Anderson ; that there shall be no excuse for any Lady to send off for a
single article, aud we hope that no one will do so before giving our assortment a
thorough innpection. We earnestly desire to build up a Dry Goods, Clothing, Shoe
and Millinery Business that shall have no superior in the city of Charleston or in
the State; but of course we need the good will, custom and patronage of the best
people of this and adjoinining Counties. On our side nothing shall be wanting to
deserve such consideration from your hands. We shall do business upon business
principles, adopting the methods of the largest and most successful houses in the
country?Bach as a perfect CASH SYSTEM, a Cashier and Cash Boys, A ONE
PRICE PLAN, as near as circumstances will permit same, obliging and experi?
enced assistants, polite treatment, an ever willingness to show Goods; and above
all a thorough regard for what each and every customer wants, may the article be
ever so trifling. Upon such principles we must succeed, as success only deserves.
In the meantime,
Take Advantage of our Bargain Sale.

""Messrs KillBros.?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 arc j
now in a perfect state of preservation with
natural taste and smell. The advantage of
this over canning fruit is that it keeps
larger packages, is more reliable, and can
bo opened and used from time to time
without damage. Respectfully,
Mrs. Thomas A. Seteeard.
Mesbrh. Hill Bros.?Gentlemen: The
American Fruit Preserving Powder and
Liquid I bought from you last year, is all
that you recommended it to be. We used
it on peaches, apples and vegetables, and
they are preserved perfectly without un?
pleasant taste or smell, and we have used
them from the day they were put up with?
out any damage. I heartily recommend it
as a perfect preservative of all kinds of
fruit and vegetables. Respectfully,
D. A. Elrod.
Messrs Hill Bros.?Dear Sirs: The
American Fruit Preserving Powder and
Liquid has certainly been a success with
me. I have given it a fair trial on fruit, and
do unhesitatingly and heartily recommend
it. The fruit we put up with it is now in
a perfect state of preservation with no un?
natural tasto or Bmoll, and we used it out
of the vessels constantly without damage.
Respectfully,
W. A. Gker.
