The two Mormon Elders, of whom we made mention in these columns last week, spent the night of the 8th inst. in Broadway Township, near Belton. On the day following they visited a number of the houses in that section, scattering their tracts and papers as usual. The good citizens of that neighborhood de? cided that they did not need any of the Mormon doctrines, and lato that after? noon a number of them awaited on the ''missionaries" and told them so. After talking with them the citizens decided to carry them to Belton, which they did. At Belton a meeting of the leading citi? zens was held, and the Elders were brought before them. They were then told that Anderson County was not a very healthy place lor Mormon missionaries, and that if they would promise to leave immediately and never come back again into the County, they would be allowed to depart in peace. This the Mormons promised faithfully to do. They were kindly cared for during the night, aud next morning took up their tramp, say. ing they were going to Spartanburg, where, they claim, they have one or two churches. The Elders were badly fright? ened, and it is not likely that onr people will soon be visited again by any of that faith. DoatU of an Estimable Citizen. Maj. Thomas H. McCann, formerly of | this County but for several years past a citizen of Greenville, died at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. G. D. Barr, in that city, on Saturday morning the 12th inst., from neuralgia of the heart. He bad been in declining health for some months, and had been quite feeble for several days before his death, though he arose and dressed himself on Saturday morning a short timo before his death. He was assisted to his bed when the fatal stroke seized him and expired calmly and peace? fully in a few minutes. Maj. McCann was in the 78th year of his age, having been born in Anderson County in 1808. His father was an Irishman and his mother a Miss Hamilton, a member of one of the most noted families of this part of tho State. He lived for the grcator part of his life at Slabtowu, in this County, where he owned a valuable plantation and conducted a profitable mercantile business. A sister of Maj. McCann was the mother of the late Judgo Orr. The family was one of the most influential and most highly respected in this County. Maj. McCann was an Elder in the Preiby: -j terian Church for more than forty years, and was a most exemplary and useful man. He was a Colonel in the malitia before the war, and was always u popular and influential citizen. He was au intel? ligent, progressive man, and always eviuced u strong interest in all movements intended to advance the interests of the community in which he lived. Not only did Maj. McCann have the esteem of the mou of his own age, but the young men around him always found a friend in him and wero greatly attached to him. We regret to chronicle the death of one so highly esteemed for genuine worth and exalted character as Maj. McCann. His remains wero brought to his former neighborhood in this County and there intoned in the cemetery where those dear to him in life aud who preceded him in death rest in their last slumber.

They had arts which tho world knew nothing about, knowledge which no other peoplo possessed, thrift which their conquerors could not imitate, and wealth which made them the prey to every adventurer of the sixteenth century, their temples and palaces were built of hewn stone from quarries that the Spaniards had not been able to discover, and the means by which they lifted blocks of granite, weighing hundreds of tens, is a problem no antiquarian has been able to solve. The great i-enius and Herculean strength and long jife, some living to be nearly two centuries old; is due to the fact that they used no other stimulants or medi? cines, except the divine coca plant, which they beliaved possessed supernatural powers over all ills that flesh is heir to. Science and experiments of medical men prove the coca plant to be possessed of marvelous and wonderful tonic and invig? orating properties. Pemberton's French Wine Coca, is prepared from the same coca plant which those people used, and is making wonderful cures in all sections of the county. All who are suffering from any chronic diseases, should give this valuable tonic a trial. The Wine Coca will piovo a boon nud blessing, to all afflicted with any nervous disease.
