He was a member of the I Florence Baptist Church, and prominent in all affairs of church, and at the time of his death was President of the Baptist County Sunday School Convention. He has a large acquaintance throughout the State, and they, with those who knew him well, will be pained to learn of his sudden death. He leuves a large family." Capt.

Of the many reunions of tbe surviving veterans of the Confederate service, none has been conducted in a more pleasant aud interesting manner than the gather? ing of Orr's Regiment of Rifles at Sandy Springs, beginning on Tuesday evening and lasting until Thursday morning of last week. The weather was quite unfa i vorable, but there was a large gathering of the survivors and their friends. Elo? quent addresses were made on Wednes? day by Hon. J. L. Orr and Col. J. Q. Marshall, of Columbia. These gentle? men are respectively sons of the first and second Colonels of this famous Regiment, and their invitation as tbe orators of the day was a beautiful complinfent to the esteem iu which the veterans hold the memory of their first commanders. An Association of the veterans was formed, and the following officers elected: Col. McD. Miller, President; Lt.-Col. J. Townos Robinson, 1st Vioe President; M?j. L. Rodgers, 2nd Vice President: Adjt. W. C. Keitb, Secretary; R. R. Hemphill, Asst. Secretary; B. F. Cray ton, Treasurer. The occasion was one of great interest Many men met for the first time since their regiment left tbe service, and the reunion afforded the opportunity to con? verse together over many of the promi? nent incidents of the war iu which these veterans bore so arduous and honorable a part. It is expected that the permanent or? ganization of the survivors will bring more frequent reunions and thereby keep up tbe associations which are connected with the most eventful and trying period of our country's history. The speeches of Cols. Orr and Marshall are spoken of iu the most complimentary manner, and all proseut enjoyed the reunion very much. Tho committee in charge of the matter deservo congratulation upon the success which attended their efforts to perfect a Survivor's Association. The Circuit Court.

The large and spacious nail, known as Mooro's Rink, on last Friday evening; was tbo scone of ono of the largest and most brilliant assemblages ever gathered together in Anderson on any similar oc? casion within our recollection, the occa? sion being the Ball of the Pioneer Fire? men of this city. The preparations and arrangements for the Ball had been quiet? ly going on for several weeks prior, and few people realized the magnitude of the occasion. Several hundred very hand? some invitations had been printed, aud these were mailod on tho Monday pre? vious. Friday morning was ushered in as the preceding days of the week had been, by dense clouds and frequent show? ers of rain. The Pioneers and a largo number of their friends wore a look of disappointment. Their pleasant antici? pations seemed to be blasted. However, they were not altogether' feint-hearted, and as the day passed on the clouds were watched with wishful eyes. This did not change the weather, though, and at night full all the public, carriages in the city were engaged aud they were running in every direction. About 9 o'clock we entered the bright? ly illuminated hall, and at first glanco detected the work of fair hands in the flower and evergreen decorations. The crowd already present was large, but the gallant beaux and fascinating belles con? tinued to pour in. It was plain then that despite the weather the Ball was a grand success, the crowd in attendance being va? riously estimated at from 350 to 500 per? sons. While listening to the enlivening strains of music from the Young Ameri? ca Cornet Band, which was present, we looked around and saw the old and the young, every one wearing a happy coun? tenance. A number of these wete visit? ors from a distance, both ladies and gen? tlemen. The goddess Terpsichore seem? ed to have the majority under her sway, and the engagement cards were being rapidly filled up for the various dances , on the programme. The soft, sweet music of the Italian band struck up, and in a few minutes the opening quadrille, under the direction of Mr. Joel C. Keys. Chairman of tho Floor Managers, was formed, and the youth and beauty, lovely maids and gallant swain, whirl amid the mazes of the dance. There were twenty-one dances down on the programme, but the small hours of the morning approached rapidly, and it had to be shortened. The dancing con? tinued until about l J o'clock, when the gay assemblage dispersed, every one pro? nouncing the occasion a most pleasant event. From the ball room the Pioneers and a large number of the male portion of their friends repaired to their hall, whore a most delightful hour was spent in partak? ing of a bountiful supply of refreshments, amid toasts and impromptu speeches. The occasion will long be remembered by all who participated, and the Pioneers are to be congratulated for the admirable manner in which everything was carried out. Too much praise cannot be bestow? ed on the ?committee of arrangements, which consisted of Messrs. G. M. Tolly, A. H. Osborne, jr., H. McGrath, J. M. Catbcart, D. Seligman and A. C. Pinkind, to whom largoly the success of-the occa? sion may be attributed. A Day of Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer. Honejl Path, S. C, Oct. 2,1885. The Churches of the Saluda Baptist Association will please bear in mind that at our last meeting it was resolved thnt Friday, 16th October, be set apart as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer, and that the Churches are requested to prop? erly observe that day by meetiug"at their respective places of worship?fasting there to thank our Heavenly Father for all His benefits, humble themselves bo fore Him, confess their sins and ask for His forgiving mercy, that by His grace they may be ablo to consecrate them? selves wholly to His service, and walk more circumspectly boforo Him and the world, and that "pure and undefiled reli-. gion" may abound among us. Now, brethren, to the work of getting ready to preparing for the service of that day by announcement in all our Churches for the assembling of the people, with or without their pastors, so that when it comes we may meet in proper frame of mind. By abstaining from tho use of food or water, as well as the luxuries of life, we may be ablo the better to appre? ciate the blessings we are the constant re? cipients of. Will not all the pastors, of all the Churches, with all the members, give publicity to this announcement, that our houses of worship may be filled and that the action of our Association may be made a means of blessing to all ? We also cordially invite all other Chris? tian Churches, of every name, to co-ope? rate with us, by meeting at their places of worship as we propose. M. McGee. Clerk Saluda Baptist Association. The South Carolina Presbytery. Gbeenwood, S. G., Oct. 5, 1885. Editor Intelligencer: The Presbytery of South Carolina has been in session at this place since the evening of tho 2nd inst., and will adjourn this afternoon or to? morrow. Thirteen ministers are present, and some thirty-five Churches are represented, leaving only throe ministers absent and about ten Churches with no representa? tive present. The opening sermon was proached by Rev. J. O. Lindsay, D.D., after which tho Presbytery was constitu? ted with prayer. Rov. J. McL. Seabrook was chosen Moderator, and Elder L. W. Perrin, Assistant Clerk. Rev. S. L. Mor? ris, the permanent Clerk was present. The narratives sent up from the various Churches show, in the main, a rather hopeful condition of the several interests of the Church. The pastoral relation, which for eleven years had existed so pleasantly and profi? tably between Rev. R. A. Fair and the Newberry Church, was dissolved at the request of the pastor because solely of his growing physical infirmity. Rov. W. G. Neville, also, was released from the pasto rateof Cokesbury and Ninety-Six Church? es. Rev. Mr. Fair has removed to Lau - rens C. H., and will labor in Enoree Pres? bytery, aud Rev. Nevillo will most prob? ably accept a call from a Church near Lexington, Kentucky. A request for tho establishment of a Church at Mt. Carmel, on the Savannah Valley Railroad, in Abbeville County, was sent up, and a commission therefor was appointed. The crying need of this Presbytery is ministers. Far too man}' of the Church? es complain of having no logular preach? ing. Presbytery will endeavor at once to secure a suitable evangelist aud put him to work within its bounds. A missionary conference wa3 held Saturday night, at which the fact of a growth of interest in tho matter of For oign missions was developed. The Church at Abbeville, which has been without a Pastor since tho resigna? tion a year ago of Dr. Martin, presented through Presbytery, a call for tho services of Rev. J. Lowry Wilson, of Bethel Presbytery, and there is a strong proba? bility that he will accept. Westminster and Retreat Churches presented calls for the pastoral services of Rev. Mr. Kirk patrick, of East Alabama Presbytery. Tho membership of the Church at largo has been greatly augmented during the past six months, aud nearly all the indi? cations are of an encouraging nature. There are many topics of minor inter? est of which I would like to speak, but space forbids. The session has boen exceedingly har? monious, and the hospitality of the peo? ple of Greenwood most sumptuous aud elegant. The Spring meeting of Presbytery will bo held at Newberry, beginning at 7i o'clock p. in., Friday before tho second Sunday in April, 1880. D. Mr. Z. L. Burrlss's Fihh Fond. Mr. Editor : According to previous ar? rangement, on the day appointed for tho drawing of Mr. /I. L. IJurriss's lisli pond, notwithstanding the inclcraoncy of tho weather at the appointed hour a goodly number assembled at the pond, and every? thing being ready Mr. Burriss commenced to seine for the finuy tribo, which he had so long wished to see. Tho stalwart freodman had not made many dips until it proved that Mr. Burriss had not wished in vain, and that the fruits df his labor were to be seen in the seius full of fish which were continually being brought to land. The writer was present and was asked by Mr. Burriss to assist him in weighing some of the largest. We meas? ured 8o1110 that wore two years old, and they measured twenty-four inches long and weighed six and one-half pounds. Then we proceeded to weigh some one year old, and they tipped the beam at two pounds each. It was agreed by those present that tho number of tho two pound fish was between four and five hundred, and those which weigh six and one-half pounds from seventy-five to one hundred. It is true no accuracy could be arrived at from the fact the vessels which Mr. Burriss had were not sufficient .to hold the fish caught. As for those from three to four inches long, I am at a loss to number them. Suffice it to say they were numerous. It was my good fortune to bo one of the invited guests to dine with Mr. Burriss. It was the verdict after dinner that the carp is the finest fish that we have ever eaten. Mr. Burriss has one of the finest fish ponds in the County, and it will not bo long until he will reap a handsome income from it. James L. O. Shaw. Grand Jury's Presentment. State of South Carolina, County of Anderson. We, the Grand Jury of Anderson Coun? ty, at this the third Term of the Court of General Sessions, beg leave respectfully to make the following report, to wit: That we have discharged the several duties committed to us by this Court. We have visited the various public offices, and also the Poor House and Jail by committees, and find the same neatly and properly kept. We heartily approve of the changes made in the Clerk's Office and the Judge of Probate's Office, and also the removal of the County Treasurer's Office out of the Court House. We have examined the following Trial Justice's books: J. C. C. Feathers ten, W. F. Cox, J. L. Bryan and W. E. Wal? ters, and find them properly kept. We approve of tho indexes now being made by the Clerk of the Court of the records of his office, and rocommend that it be completed, dono and paid for by the County. We recommend that good substantial, locks be furnished to the Sheriff; some of the Jail cells being without locks, or fur? nished with very inferior locks. We heartily approve of the excellent management of our County finances by our Board of County Commissioners. . "We recommend and do hope that our County Comraissionors and members of the Legislature will levy a sufficient tax to pay our County out of debt, and to en: able our Commissioners to run the County on a cash system. The roads, with a few exceptions, are in good condition. We would call the at? tention of our County Commissioners to the road leading from Union Church to Jim Burriss's lower mill, near Alex. Dickson's house. It is in a dangerous condition on account of the narrow road and deep ditches on each side. There was a strong petition presented to our Grand Jury asking that the rice farms and dams on Beaverdam Creek, in Hope well Township, be abated and the parties required to cease the cultivation of rice on said creek. We herewith present the Eetition, and recommend that such action e taken by the proper authorities to stop the rice farms in thai; Township and se? cure tho health of the community. We extend our hearty thanks to his Honor, the Presiding Judge, and the So? licitor aud other officers of the Court for courtesies extended and assistance ren? dered us In the discharge of our duties.
