Mr. E. G. Evans, jr., of Pondleton, uses
the columns of the Intelligencer to let
the trading public of that town and .'sur?
rounding country know that he can supply
them with confectioneries, canned goods,

cash as they can be bought anywhere.
We advise our many readers in that sec?

He is a clever, energetic young man, and
will give you one hundred cents worth
of goods for every dollar you invest with
him.
Messrs. Means & McGee have opened

their new advertisement in this issue.
Their Fall stock of clothing, hats, boots

ceived daily,: and everything ' being
marked down so low that you can't help
buying at first sight. When in the city,
young man, you shouldcallonthem, stay
a long time, and inspect their goods close-'
ly and carefully. We are confident they
can please you in quality and price.
Attention is called to the County Treas?
urer's tax notice, which appears in an?
other column. It will be seen that under
the last Supply Bill the office opens for
the collection of taxes October 1st instead
of September 1st, and closes November
30th instead of October 20th, as hereto?
fore, covering a period of time when
money is in circulation. There is no rea?
son now why the work should be crowded
into the- last few days \ of the collection.
Don't wait till the last of November, but
step up and make payment promptly and
get rid of it. (It has. to come anyway.
We take.pleasure in calling attention to
the advertisement of Mr; E. B. Benson in
this , issue, and advise every one of our
readers to read it carefully. As previous?
ly, announced, he is occupying the old
stand of Messrs. Hill, Adams & Co.,
where he has opened up an entirely new
stock of general merchandise, which he
is determined to sell at low prices. Mr.
Benson has..the thrift, energy and judg?
ment characteristic of a. first-class busi?
ness man, and will offer rare induce?
ments to cash buyers. He is a thorough,
reliable gentleman. We commend him
to our people, and.bespeak for him a lib?
eral share of the public patronage.
? Hartwell, Ga., Sun: "A few days ago a
certain young man whose name we will
not now mention, living near Park's
Ferry, in South Carolina, wishing to visit
his sweetheart on the Georgia side, came
to the River, called but could find no fer?
ryman to ferry him over. The young
girl whom he intended visiting heard
some one call, and, knowing the ferryman
was absent, went down to the River to
report the fact. On arriving at the River
bank she found the one on the other side
to be her lover. True to woman's faith?
fulness and heroic nature, she immedi?
ately unloosed a batteau hitched to the
bank, seized the oar, rowed herself across
to tue South Carolina side where she wel?
comed her lover into the boat and return?
ed to Georgia safe and sound.. If we
were a young man or a widower that
young man would not cross the Savannah
often."' v,_
A Disastrous Fire.
The large and elegant residence of Mr.
W. H. B. Todd, situated on North Maiu
street, was destroyed by fire last Saturday
morning. The alarm was sounded a few
minutes after 3 a. m. o'clock, an hour
when everybody is wrapped in the deep?
est slumber. Just before the alarm,
however, Maj. A. S. Todd, who was
sleeping in the upper story of the house,
was awakened by the smoke in bis room.
He arose from his bed, opened tho blinds
and saw that the llames had almost en?
veloped the one-story L, and were rapidly
consuming the weather-boarding of the
main house. The members of the house
bold were aroused and they hardly had
time to escape with their lives from the
burning building. By this time the Firo
Company and a considerable number of
citizens had reached the scene, but the
flames bad gained such a headway that it
was impossible '.to extinguish them or
oven save the furniture. They then di?
rected their attention to tho protection of
the property around. The members of
tho family saved only the clothing they
had on ahd throe or four pieces of furni?
ture. It is perhaps the most complete
conflagration we have ever had in Ander?
son, and is a heavy loss to tho family. A
fine new piano and two gold watches
wero destroyed. The building was a new
and very substantial one, and cost about
$2,000. It was insured for ?1,500. There
was no insurance on the furniture. The
loss is estimated at about $3.000 over and
above the insurance. It is believed that
the fire originated in the collar under the
L, but as to what caused it will perhaps
ever remain a mystery.
A little girl of Mr. Todd's was started
out with an elder brother, but got lost and
remained in the burning house. Maj. A.
S. Todd returned for her and was only
able to find her in the stilling smoko by
her cries. As he omerged with hor from
the burning building, ho was overcome
for some minutes by the otfects of tho
smoke. Tho family havo tho sympathy
of tho whole commuuity in their misfor?
tune.
Townyllle Academy.
There will be a moss meeting and bas?
ket pic-nio at Townville, on next Satur?
day morning, for tho purpose of consid?
ering ways and means to maintain a first
class Academy of learning at that place.
Speeches may be expected from Messrs.
W. C. Keith and John S. Verver, of Wal?
halla, and Messrs. J. G. Clinkscales, H.
G. Scudday and E. B. Murray, of Ander?
son. A pleasant day is anticipated, and a
large attendance is desired.

The Correspondence Through Mutual
Friends Between Maj. Moore and Mr.
Murray?Subsequent Events.
As will bo seen by the following corres?
pondence, the personal matter which has
been existing for the post week between
Maj. John B. Moore and Mr. E. B. Mur?
ray, has been in the hands of mutual
friends, who were anxious to effect a com?
promise or settlement, without a personal
difficulty, between these gentlemen. The
correspondence explains itself. A copy
of tho first letter was handed to Maj.
Moore and Maj. Murray at the same time:
(Copy.)
Anderson, S. C, Sept. 14, 1885.
Maj. E. B. Murray?Dear Sir: Hav?
ing observed with deep concern that
there is a personal matter between your?
self and Hon. John B. Moore, growing
out of speeches made by you respectively,
at Flat Rock, on the subject of Prohibi?
tion, and from an editorial in last week's
Intelligencer, under the head of "A
Personal Matter," we desire in the inter?
est of peace to have an honorable settle?
ment of the pending difficulty, and, to
that end, respectfully suggest that you
submit tho whole matter to disinterested
gentlemen, that they may make, if pos?
sible, such a settlement thereof as will be
honorable and satisfactory.
Respectfully, <fce,
W. w. Humphreys,
Wm. S. Brown,
Thos. C. Ligon,
S. M. Orr.
(Copy.)
Anderson, S. C. Sept. 15,1835.
Gentlemen :?Your communication
of yesterday was handed me as I was
leaving on the train for Pendleton and
now has my attention. In reply to your
request for personal friends to be permit
tea to interfere lor the adjustment of a
Sersonal matter between Hon. John B.
[oore and myself, growing out of
speeches made at Flat Rock and a subse
?uent publication in the Intelligencer,
have to say that I regret a personal
matter with any citizen, and desire noth?
ing more than an honorable settlement of
the matter to which you refer. I have,
however, received no communication,
either verbal or written, ".from .'Maj.
Moore, since the meeting at Flat Rock,
and therefore could only say that if Maj.
Moore has any personal grievances
against me which it is desired to have
submitted for adjustment as you suggest,
I would be willing to refer the same to
friends for honorable settlement.
E. B. Murray.
(Copy.)
Anderson, C. H., ?. 0., Sept. 15, 1885.
Gentlemen: I have carefully exam?
ined your kind communication of yester?
day evening. I greatly appreciate tho
motives that caused you to write to me in
reference to the troubles between Maj.
Murray and myself, growing out of the
speeches made at the Flat Rock meeting,
and his subsequent editorial in the Intel?
ligencer. My esteemed friend, A. T.
Broyles, Esq., applied to me on Friday
evening last to know if I would submit
the controversy now pending between
Maj. E. B. Murray and myself to mutual
friends to adjust! I replied I would .not
so submit it?that I had purposely kept
aloof from my friends, hut at his personal
request I have agreed to. consult with
friends, and as soon as it could be done,
to notify him of my conclusion.
I had an answer prepared for Mr.
Broyles when "your communication
reached me, and I now make it to you.
If Maj. Murray had been content to make
his own report of the speeches at ?Fiat
Rock, I should have found less difficulty
in consenting to your proposition; but
instead thereof he. writes and publishes
an editorial in his own private paper,
ruinious to my character as a man and as
a gentleman, and therein invites me to a
personal contest, and leaves me no other
alternative but to accept it.
Without a withdrawal of that editorial,
I cannot, with all due respect to my
friends, consent to put myself in their
hands. I'am; gentlemen, truly your
friend,' John B. Moore.
To Messrs. W. W. Humphreys, Wm. S.
Brown, Thos. C. Ligon, S. M. Orr.
(Copy.)
Anderson, S. C, Sept 15, 1885.
Gentlemen :?The copy of Maj. John
B. Moore's reply to your request for.an
adjustment of certain differences between
him and myself is before me, and the
demand made upon me therein is'noted.
I must respectfully decline to make any
partial submission of the matter to
friends, or to withdraw tho article of
which Maj. Moore complains. That arti?
cle was predicated upon the speech made
by Maj. Moore in Flat Rock Church, in
which he made charges "ruinous to my
character as a citizen and a gentleman,"
if permitted to go unanswered. He left
the Church immediately upon making his
speech, so that he did not as far as I know,
hear my reply, and I did not deem the
Church a proper place in which to reply
as emphatically as I felt was proper under
the circumstances. He went to a meet?
ing at which I was an invited speaker, and
so published, and at which he was not
published to speak; and having the first
speech, deliberately, after consultation, as
I am informed, proceeded without provo?
cation to denounce mo as the Editor of
the Inxelligemcee, in effect, as a liar and
coward if I submitted to it, for having
claimed to be the people, and as a liar for
having said that the bill to submit the
question of prohibition to the people of
Anderson County was introduced in the
Legislature in time to have passed, if
there had been no opposition to it. My
artic'i simply characterizes his allega?
tions against me in the terras which he
used, and presents to the people certain
facts by which to test who is correct in
the charges which have been made. My
charges against Maj. Moore would not in?
jure him to any greater extent than his
charges against me would injure me . if
true. He gave the first offense, without
just provocation, in a Church, in the
presence of several hundred ladies and
gentlemen, and left the house immediate?
ly. Then my article was predicated upon
that state of facts. In consequence of this
condition of things, I cannot withdraw
the article of which Maj. Moore com?
plains.
Permit me to thank you for the interest
which you have manifested in this matter,
and to subscribe myself,
Yours, very truly,
E. B. Murray.

Anderson C. H. S?. C. Sept. 15, 1885.
W. W. Humphreys, W. S. Brown, Thos.
C. Ligon andS. M. Orr:
Gentlemen : Your note of this day,
informing me that Maj. Murray declines
to withdraw the editorial referred to, the
truce to which I assented on Friday even?
ing last is at an end, and as Mr. Murray
in that editorial has invited me to a per?
sonal contest, he shall have it to his
heart's content.
Your obedient servant,
John B. Moore.
The above correspondence ended Tues?
day afternoon. Upon the receipt of the
copy of Maj. Moore's last communication
I to the mutual friends, Mr. Murray wrote
a letter to his family at Pendleton, telling
, them that he would not bo up on the
evening train as expected, and about 4,45
Mr. Murray left bis office, going down
the North side of the Court House square,
with the letter in his hand. He had re
j ceived a caution from a friend, but neg?
lected to notify tho friends who had been
consulting with him. Mr. Murray had
received no communication of auy kind
from Maj. Moore, except copies of the
communications to the mutual friends.
As Mr. Murray appeared on the square,
Maj. Mooro left his office, which is situat?
ed on the Southwest corner of the square,
and startod in a brisk pace across the
square towards Mr. Murray, who had
reached about midway of Main Street
where it intersects the square. Mr. Mur?
ray saw him and halted. Maj. Mooro
advanced with a large stick in one hand
and a pistol in the other. When he had
reached a distance of some twenly-fivo or
thirty stops from Mr. Murray, Chief of
Police Fant advanced with the intention
of arresting him, but as Mr. Murray had
presented his pistol, ho did not make the
effort. Maj. Mooro at tho same time lev?
elled his pistol on Mr. Murray and snap
pod it. After snapping his pistol, Maj.
Moore raised it again and fired. Mr.
Murray returned the fire, which was fol?
lowed by another shot from Maj. Mooro,
who hold his fire and boro to his right.
Mr. Murray fired in rapid succession,
stepping back a step or two at each shot
until his last one, when ho ran a few steps
towards Maj. Moore and fired. Mr. Mur?
ray then snapped his pistol, ami having
exhausted hi3 pistol, started towards
his oflico, and just as he had passed the
entranco to Messrs. Simpson, Keid & Co's.
drug store, Maj. Mooro fired at him again
exhausting bis pistol. Maj. Moore w$3
then arrested, Policemar McKinney at
the same time told Mr. Murray to con?
sider himself under arrest, and demanded
his pistol, which bo gave up. Mr. Murray
was not struck by any of the bullets.
Maj. Moore received a slight wound in
the right thigh.
Maj. Moore used a 38-calibre Smith &
Wesson improved pistol. Mr. Murray
used a 32-calibre self-acting Smith ft Wes
son pistol, with the action of which he
was not familiar, as ho had novor bofore
fired one.
We have endeavored to give as correct
a version of the affair as possible, and
with that eud in view have secured Our
information as to the combat from Chiof j
of Police Fant, who was an eye-witness
of the whole affray. Tho above statement
is as he gave it to us.- -
Later in the afternoon Maj. Moore was
placed under a bond to keep the peace in
the sum of one thousand dollars, and
Mr. Murray was placed under a similar
bond pending a proliminary hearing,
which he demanded.
For obvious reasons we forego any com?
ments on the affray.
Reunion of Company "D," 2nd Rifles.
Mb. Editor : In response to a commu?
nication in your paper of Sept. 3rd, suggest?
ing that I call a meeting of tho survi?
vors of Company "D," 2nd Regiment of Ri?
fles, I appoint the first Saturday, the 2nd of
October next, as tho day of such meeting,
and Smith's Chapel, in Fork Township,
as the place. I earnestly urge every sur?
vivor of tho Company to be present, as it
is very important to get up a correct Roll
of the Company and preserve the history
of its members. The survivors of the

A musical concert given in the Female
College Chapel last Friday night signalized
the close of the two weeks' session of Prof.
A. J. Showalter's singing school at this
place. The entertainment included a
lengthy and varied program, and was par?
ticipated in by the entire class and by a
number of visitors, who had been in at?
tendance upon the Normal Singing School,
at Salem. Choruses, jubilee songs, solo?,
quartets and productions were intermingled
in a mmner calculated to make the large
audience who listened attentively thereto,
oblivious of the passage of time and con?
scious of being permeated with the very
spirit of melody. The excellence of rendi?
tion displayed by the members of the class
w is a practical exemplification of Prof.
Showalter's thorough method of teaching
and of the benefit to be derived from his
tutelage. A male chorus entitled "Wanita,"
a humorous song, "Mary and Martha," and
a solo by Miss Sue Watson of Salem, at?
tracted special attention, the call for a repe?
tition-or "Mary-and Martha"-which was
produced by the visitors from Salem, show?
ing in what appreciation it was held.
Prof. Show alter has given entire satisfac?
tion to his pupils here, and the thanks of
the lovers or good music are.due Mr. J. L.
Haynie, as 'twas largely by his efforts that
the Profs attendance was secured.
The annual Election for a Town Council
to serve the honorable corporation of
Williamston was held on Monday. With
the exception of a vigorous button-holing
of voters, on the part of the friends of the
two tickets which were is the field, very
little departure wa3 made from the quiet
that is wont to . pre vail in the streets. Of
the two . tickets, the one headed by Dr. J.
W. Crymes, for Intendant, received the
support of, the "administration," or the
incumbent Council, while the other, with .
Dr- B. F. Brown at its head, was advocated* [
by those who favored an out-and-out "new"'
deal." No issues of importance were in?
volved, and .the lives and property of the
citizens were, by no means endangered by
the election of either ticket, composed as
they both were of good men. The result of |
the contest was as follows: Intendant, Dr.
B. F. Brown; Wardens, W. L. Prince,
Austin W.Clement, T. B. Crymes, J. M.
Lander; School Trustees, J. E. Pickel, J.

Miss Mattie Lee Price, of Bartow County,
Georgia, a rival of Lula Hurst, in the
display of."miraculous powers," gave. an
exhibition at this place, on Monday night.
Miss Price is prepossessing in appearance, is
fifteen years of age and weighs 110 pounds.
In her exhibition here, she succeeded in
overcoming the combined strength of the
stoutest men the town could afford, and
the close of her display only left the audi?
ence in a greater uncertainty than before,
concerning the source of the power she so
evidently displays. Messrs. J. W. Dacus,
Thos. J. Martin, R. L. Hogg and others
who could boast of less avoirdupois, failed
to withstand the "power" of the little Miss,
and were compelled to incontinently "sit
down." Prof. W. L. Lander made a test
with the most delicate instruments known
to science, and was unable to detect the
least electricity in tho manifestations of
Miss Price's "power." T. E. H.
