If all the railroads that are now being agitated by the press of South Carolina are built, there will hardly be any more use for buggies and wagons. Our farmers should not neglect sowing oats. It is too important a crop, and should be attended to, even at the sacri? fice of a few pounds of cotton. A. Lesser has made another sweeping redaction in prices of goods.

The Bishop preached a most excellent sermon in the morning, and administered the Holy Communion. Owing to the inclement weather, no othor services were held during his Btay here The conduct of some of the boys around the d ws of the city churches on Sunday nights is disgraceful. We suggest, that tho Mayor send a policeman around to note tho conduct of these boys. We think it would have a wholesome effect: Miss Lulu Smith, a most charming young lady of Otterbein, Ind., is visiting the family of Mr. D. H. Russell, In this County. We hope Miss Lulu will find sufficient attraction in our County to in? duce her to remain here permanently. Dr. M. C. Parker, of Honea Path, lost a valuable horse on last Monday morn? ing.

On an aver? age you have escaped a life composod of about one part happiness and ninoty-cine parts misery. Yet, if any of you have a good chance, don't let this discourage you.

We have received a copy of the first issue of the Greenwood Light, a new paper just started at Greenwood, S. C. Mr. E. S. F. Giles has charge of the editorial col? umn, and Messrs. T. F. Reily and A. J. Sproles the local column. It gives evi? dence of being a first-class journal, and the citizens of Greenwood should support it liberally. Mr. and Mrs. J* D. Maxwell celebrated the tenth anniversary of their marriage on the evening of Tuesday, the 20th inst., by a reception at their handsome residence, "Edgewood." Quite a large number of their friends were present, and the occa? sion was a most charming one. We wish them many happy returns of their anni? versary. Miss Susan Garrett, daughter of the late Mr. Jessee Garret, died suddenly at . her home in Williamston Township, on the 1 Ith inst.

Mr. Floyd Watson, formerly of this County, but now a resident of Ellis Coun? ty, Texas, met with a most unfortunate accident on the 1st inst. by having his left hand and arm lacerated in a' cotton gin. At last accounts the pbysicans had ampu? tated his hand, and were afraid that a sec? ond amputation at the elbow would be necessary. Floyd's many friends in this County will regret to hear of his accident. Hartwell (Ga.) Sun: ''The stingiest man on record lives in Hart Count v. It is sworn to and subscribed by many wit? nesses that he always gots behind a tree to look at his watch, for fear some one will ask him for the time of day." An? derson County has a citizen who is almost as stingy as. the Georgian. After ne gets all the strength out of a chew of tobacco, he lays it up to dry and then smokes it in his pipe. He never throws a chew of to? bacco to the ground. We would invite the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Dr. W. H< Ross, Dental Surgeon, which appears elsewhere. Dr. Ross is a native of Marion, and a graduate of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery in the class of 1884, of which he was Valedictorian. He has been ? engaged in the practice with his father at Sandford.

Sun gives the fol? lowing complimentary notice of Mr. E. B. Benson, who has opened business hero: "The many friends of Mr. E. B. Benson, will be glad to know that he is doing well in Anderson, and getting a good trade. He will rank among the leading merchants of that growing city when tho people find him out. He is a diamond of the first water, and will never betray a trust or confidence. He is hon? estly personified. This is no fulsome flattery, but a plain, truthful statement." Mr. J. S. Fowler has greatly enlarged his Livory Stahle building, and now has ono of the largest and most conveniently arranged buildings of the kind in the State. He is one of tho leading dealers in horses and mules in the up-country, and lias provided for the conduct of an un? usually large business this season by as? sociating with him Mr. J.

Tnese gentle mon will bo fully prepared to supply all demands for horsos or mules during the coming season, and will bo pleased to con? sult with persons wishing to purchase. Rev. J. W. W?lling, of tho Methodist Church,, recently spent several days in Augusta, Ga., in attendance upon the Holiness Camp Meeting. Last Sunday night he gave a very interesting descrip? tion of the meeting, and enlightened' his hearers in regard to the meaning of Ho liuess or Sanctification. While in Au? gusta, Mr. W?lling met Rev. G. D. Wat? son, a noted evangelist, of Kentucky, who, with his excellent wife, who has a fine voice and is a sweet singer, has prom? ised to visit Anderson to conduct a series of meetings. They will probably reach Anderson about tho 7th of November. "A man who is not religious every where.," says an exchange, "is not reli? gious anywhere, and he who is not a Christian in everything is not a Christian in anything. Professing and praying at Church and cheating and defaulting in business are altogether too common in tho Church. Men cannot bo zealous in reli? gion and dishonest in business. Religion is not a candle to bo lighted and blown out at ploasuro. It is not a garment to bo put on and oiT to suit tho company we aro in. It is not a flaming torch on tho Sabbath nnd a dark lantern during the week. It is a shining light that giveth light to all that are in a dark place." A special dispatch from Union, dated October 15th, to tho News and Courier, says : "Mrs. Muuro, wife of Judgo Mun ro, diod this morning. This aged and venerable lady bore the protracted suffer? ing of her last illness with a patience and fortitude in keeping with a character of singular strength and of an unwavering reliance on the promises of her Heavenly Father. Hor last hours wcro soothed by the presoncc of the aged husband of hor long lifo and tho ministering hands of do voted children/' Tho announcement of tho death of this estiiniablo lady will be read with sadness in Anderson, where sho resided for a number of years, and where she has an extensive acquaintance and a host of friends. The Honca Path Division of Sons of Temperance celebrated their third anni? versary on Saturday evening, 10th inst., according to their usual custom, by an elegant entertainment, at which a sump? tuous collation was served, and was fol? lowed by addresses from invited speakers. On this occasion Messrs. L. P. Smith and K. B. Murray, together with several mem? bers of the Division, made speeches. At the conclusion of the speaking, Dr. Par? ker, in appropriate terms, awarded a badge to Miss Lida Brock as a prize from the Division for bringing in the largest number of new members during the past year. The supper was ono of the most elegant and bountiful that we have seen on any similar occasion. The Division is act[ye, influential and prosperous. One of the members of the bachelor fra leruity in the city concluded the other evening that he would call on a young ladj'. He oiled up his hair, waxed the ends of his mustache (no, we forgot, be hasn't got a moustache), put some lily white on his face, and started out for the home^f the yoUng lady. In the mean? time it was whispered around among his brother members that ho was going to make a call, and it was thought best to put out some spies to watch his move? ments, so that charges could be preferred against him for violating ono of the rules of the fraternity. When the aforesaid young bachelor had walked two or three squares, ho saw that he was being shad? owed by two persons. He continued his journey in the direction of the young lady's house, the spies following in the rear. When he reached the house, the thought occurred to him that he was be? ing watched, and he passed thegate, turn? ing down the next street. By doing this, he thought he could dodge the spies. He continued walking and the spies followed after. He walked several squares, but the spies followed on. Directly he struck a fox trot, and the spies followed suit. He continued this pace through a dozen streets, traversing about two miles, and finally turned up at the gate of his lady friend nearly out of breath. He openod the gate and darted in just as the spies reached the spot. They saw enough, and at the next meeting of the fraternity charges will be preferred against him and he will forthwith be expelled. Death of Col. I.a timer. Col. James M. Latimer, Sr., died at his residence, in Lowndesville, on Thursday, the 15th inst., quite suddenly from a stroke of appoplexy. He was in usual health, and was sitting by the fire talking when he fell towards the fire end was dead in a very short time. Col. Latimer was at the time of his death seventy-six years of age, though from his active life and vigor he appeared considerably younger. He was an intel"gent, upright Christian gen? tleman, who iiad the con fidence and respect o." those who knew him. He was for many years an active and useful member of the Methodist Church, and was liberal in the dispensatian of charities to those around him who were needy, and always evinced a progressive public spirit in every cause calculated to benefit the com? munity in which he lived. We nave been unable to get the partic? ulars of his life, but think he served Ab i beville County in the Legislature before j the war. His most conspicuous work since the war has been his earnest advo? cacy and, as the first President, the inau gurator of the Savannah Valley Railroad. It would scarcely be an exaggeration to say that for the last eizht years he has devoted more time and labor cowards this enterprise than any man connected with it. He has also been conspicuously liber? al in his financial assistance to the work. He was a valuable citizen, whose life was pure and whose example is worthy of emulation. The death cf such a man is a public loss. _ Rev. Wm, Henry Strickland. The Nashville American contains the following complimentary notices of the work of Rev. Wm. Henry Strickland in that city, and of the appreciation in which he is held there. On the 13th of Septem? ber it says: "At the close of the morning service in Edgefield Baptist Church yesterday, Rev. Wm. Henry Strickland, the pastor, re? quested the congregation to remain a few moments. Deacon Woodcock was called to the chair,. when the pastor produced and read his letter of resignation, tq take effect Nov. 1, 1885. As it nas been known for some time that Mr. Strickland has had calls from three different States and was holding them under advisement, it was not altogether a surprise when the letter was read. He goes to Shelby, N. C. a flourishing railroad town, the County sicb of Cleveland County, where are located excellent Baptist colleges, male and female, and where the Baptist Church Is one of the best in the State of North Carolina. When Rev. Wm. Henry Strickland took charge of the Edgefield ? Church, Sept. 1,1883, there were 277 mem? bers on the roll. In the two years of his Eastorate thirty-three have been received y letter, forty-seven baptized, making an increase of eighty. During this time six have died, forty-six been dismissed by letter, and fifty excluded, leaving the present membership about 257. While the membership has not grown in num? bers, the congregation has increased four? fold, and the house is generally full on all favorable occasions. Within these two years about $9,211.50 have been raised by the church and Sunday-school, which averages about $18 to each church member annually. Mr. Strickland has attained eminence as a divine in this city, and his departure from this field of usefulness will be a loss to the pulpit strength of the denomination in which he has been an honored and efficient laborer." And on the 13th of October: "On the 27th ult., Rev. Wm. Henry StrickJ&]^-?^a^ Baptist T Ch"urch, tendered his resignatiofr-iftJS^6, effect the last of October. He, it is un? derstood, has accepted a call to Shelby, N. C. He is absent at this time in Clarks ville, engaged iu a protracted meeting with Dr. A. D. Sears. His church last Wednesday night, in a large and enthu? siastic meeting passed resolutions protest? ing against Mr. Strickland's leaving thorn, urging him to withdraw his resignation and pledging him more earnest and hearty support in the future than in the past. As Edgefield Church has been always noted for loyalty to its pastor, this pledge to Mr. Strickland means a good deal. The reso? lutions were forwarded to Mr. Strickland at Clarksvillo for his consideration. As he will not return to the city till the last of the week, it is not known what his decision will be. At all events he is in trouble, as two churches assorts claim to him at the same time and both insist on having him. It is understood that the ladies of Edgefield Church are enthusi? astic in their efforts to retain their pastor. The regrets at the prospect of losing the pastor's wife are as loud and earnest as in case of the pastor." Mr. Strickland is one of the most at? tractive speakers of whom we know, and his many friends in Anderson will be pleased to know that he will preach in the Baptist Church in this city on next Sabbath morning and evening. He will stop a few days in our midst while en routo to Shelby, his new field of labor. Willlmston Local Items. On last Thursday, the protracted meet? ing which had been in progress in the Baptist Church at this placo for nearly three weeks previous to that date, and which had resulted in twenty-live acces? sions to the Churchos membership, was brought to a close. A very general inter? est was manifostod throughout the meet? ing, and good congregations assembled nightly to hear the sermons that wore preached by the pastor, the Rev. D. Wes ton Hiott, and his able assistants, the Revs. T. P. Bell, of Anderson; J, K. Mendenhall, of Greenville, and John F. McMillan, of Edgefield. Of those re? ceived, twenty-two aro candidates for baptism, and will receive the administra? tion of that ordinance at the hands of the pastor, next Sunday. At Pclzer, on the morning of Sunday, the 18th inst., the Rev. R. W. Burts per? formed the solemn ceremony, whereby Marion P. Gambroll, of this place, and Miss Mary Robertson, of Pelzer, wero united iu the sacred bonds of matrimony. A series of meetings, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. S. Lander, is in progress at the Methodist Church here. Pour persons have been received into member? ship, and there are other applicants. All of those received were from among the boarding pupils of the Williamston Fe? male College, and had professed conver? sion during some informal services hold in the college building. The Rev.
