We have the following agents in this Connty who are authorized to receive subscriptions and money for the Intelli? gencer at the same rates that we take them.

Woman and Two Children Frozen to Death. . .It. is our duty, this week tojehroniele one of the saddest events that has ever happened in Andersonj.County within our recollection, viz: the freezing to death of a mother and her two infant children. Abouk3? miles from Belton, in Broad? way Township, on the plantation of Mrs. Lucy A: Elwell, there resided in a rude, log hut a colored womau, named Emaline Barmore, and her little child, two or three years ofage. About two weeks ago the woman .became the mother of another child, and since then she had been con? fined to her bed. On the same plantation resided several other families of her color. They, knew of her condition, but it seems were not thoughtful enough to visit her and minister to her wants or comfort, and in that log cabin the poor woman, with her two IRtIo children, lay, with no ' one to cook her a meal of victuals or to provide a stick of fuel. Thus she was ? when, the extreme cold weather set in last Thursday. On last Saturday afternoon Adam Bag? well, who resides on an adjoining plan? tation, was asked to look after the unfor? tunate woman, and on Sunday morning he and John Wadklns decided to go to her house and cut her some wood. When - they reached the house, Wadkins kuock od and called to the woman, but they re? ceived ho response. Tbey then pushed the door open, and their eyes beheld a most heart-rending scene. Across the fire-place lay the poor woman, with her infant clasped in her arms, both cold in death, and in one corner of the fire-place lay the other little child dead. How long they had been dead no ono could teU. There was no fire in the fire-place and no fuel in the house, and the cold winds whistled through the largo cracks of the hut. The hearts of these two men were no doubt melted, but they could do noth? ing, for the poor woman and her two cbil . dren were beyond the reach of human aid. It was evident that the woman had crawled out of her bed and made on a fire to keep her and her little ones warm, but when ir burnt out she was too weak to secure more fuel. On Sunday afternoon a negro messen? ger was sent to Belton to notify the au? thorities of the terrible event. He was instructed to take charge of the .remains until the Coroner could arrive there. Coroner Nance was notified, and on Mon? day morning; ho repaired to the place to hold an inquest over the dead bodies. When he reached the bouse there were 25 or 30 negroes standing around, and the unfort unate woman and her children lay in the same place where they were found the day before. None of the negroes could be Induced to come into the house and assist in removing the bodies to a bed, and the Coroner and two or three of the white jurymen had to perform this duty. . Coroner Nance immediately organized a jury consisting of J. S. Sim mous, J. H. Breazeale, Moses Briscoe,. Jesse Jones. T. P; Callaham, J. T. Thompson, Henry Lovelace, J. B. Satterfield, Isa<. ? Agnew, O. K. Breazeale, P. Mattison, M. E'. Brea? zeale and A. L. Willingbam, who, after hearing the,evidence, which is in accord? ance with the facts given above, and tak ing the statement of Dr. J. M. Holcombe, rendered a verdict that Emaline Barmore and her two children came to their death by freezing some' timo between the 7th 10th of- January inst. This terrible event is deeply regretted by the citizens of the community in which it happened, and had they been given the least' intimation that the poor woman, was suffering, tbey would have provided liberally for her comfort. A Novel Steam Engine. for the past six-weeks the Intelligen? cer has used as tke motive power for turning its Campbell Country Press a one-horse power Shipman Kerosene Oil Steam Engine, which we purchased of Messrs. Sullivan it Bro. of this city, and after a complete and fair trial of its merits, we can cheerfully pronounce it a com? plete success, and recommend it to per? sons wishing a small power. 1c is not only a cheap engine, but the cost of fuel is extremely cheap. We have run, at the same time, with this engine our newspa? per press, which print*, a paper 26x48 and onr Liberty Quarter Medium Job Pross, making a speed of about one thousand to the hour with each press. Of course this speed is largely regulated by the pulleys to which the power is at? tached. The engine is propelled entirely by kerosene applied as a spray, combined witb steam, on the atomizer principle, to an ordinary tin lamp wick, which by an arm some three or four inches long, keeps the light at the entrance of the fur? nace. The combustion is very perfect, and soon heats the lowe.r Hues to a high degree, getting np steam in about fifteen minutes from the commencement. It is a most complete arrangement in all of its appointments, always ready, requiring very little attention when once started, merely to see that the pump is working and that the supply of kerosono is suffi? cient. The safety of the engine is guard? ed amply by automatic works. There is the safety valve,' which all engines have, and in addition to this it is arranged so that the steam pressure may be guaged at a certain point, where the steam shuts otf the pressure on the oil and stops the sup? ply, so that tho heat goes down. When the beat is decreased below that point the oil is returned, and thus the working power of the engine is steadily kept up. In addition to this the engine U provided with an automatic pump, by which it supplies its own water from a cask or barrel with which it is connected, so that the only trouble about water is to keep the barrel filled, and pump in a little wa? ter with which to start. The engine is provided witb a steam guage and a water guage. Its boiler is tested at four buudrod pounds pressure, and from 80 to 120 lbs. has been found ample for our different kinds of work. The engine will consume about four gallons of kerosene oil per day, when kept running at full power all day. It works steadily, and requires very little attention after ono understands the engine. It occupies a space of 32x18 inches, and is 30 inches high, so that it consumes no more space than an ordinary heating stove. At first we experienced a little difficulty in managing it, but a little attention to the points of the engine, under tho direc? tion of Mr. H. K. Sullivan, who is an ac? complished natural machinist, soon gave usthoiough control of its working. We have received several enquiries about this engine, and have delayed answering them until we could feel safe in expressing an opinion a3 to its efficiency. Four times its cost would not purchase it from us if we could not replace it. it Ja finely adapted to any work which requires a moderate power, and can be had in one or two-horse power. Messrs. Sullivan & Bro., of Anderson, Tare Ethe agents for South Carolina, and persons desiring more definite information about the engine can procure it from them. An Unprecedented Spell of Weather. The snow which fell in Anderson on last Friday was followed by clear weather with high wind, and an exceedingly low temperature, running down to about four degrees below zero on Saturday morning. The snow was .two or three inches deep, and the temperature reached was not lower than has been met with during some of our preceding wintors, but the conjunction of snow underfoot, with the extremely cold weather and the fierce tvind, which seemed to carry the freezing temperature through the person who was exposed to it, made up the most disagree? able day in the recollection of any person with whom wo have conversed. Satur? day was a most terribly cold and piercing day. The weather has remained clear I and cold, the thermometer showing very little, if any, improvement in the tem? perature. There has doubtless been great suffering throughout thelCoanty, on account of the severity of the weather. Stock and poultry have suffered severely, and ;there has been considerable loss in this way, in this County. In tho City, Mayor Tolly and the City Council, with our efficient policemen, have been vigi? lant in looking after ihe poor, and have by judicious donations - relieved much want among helpless",women and chil? dren in the City. Rocky River was frozen over at the trestle Monday morning- Mr. Evins Brown walked across on the ice at that point. Somo of our oldest citizens say they nover knew that stream to be frozen completely over before. Messrs. Wilhite& Wilhitereceived four? teen boxes of oranges from1 Florida Mon? day morning, and moro than one-half of the fruit was frozen. Some of the oranges were as hard as a rock. In this condition they would be delicious next July, when they would no doubt sell for ten cents apiece. Five of the large, beautiful show bottles in Messrs. Wilhite & Wilhite's drug store bursted Sunday night. ' Theso bottles have stood in their places for thirteen years, which shows that we have not had such a severe freeze in that time. Messrs. Hill Bros, and Messrs. Orr & Sloan also bad one or two of their show bottles to burst. Mr. C. D. Gailhird, who carries the mail between this place and Five Forks, says Six-aud-Twenty Creek was frozen over Tuesday morning. Monday morning it was very difficult for the printers in The Intelligencer office to distribute type, which have to be wet before they can be bandied. As fast as tho water was put on the type, a thin coat of ice would form. Our foreman, who has been at the business for more than thirty years, says he never saw such an occurrence before. In many dwelling bouses the kerosene oil in the lamps was frozen. Some of our citizens say a number of their chickens were frozen to death on the roost Too Good to Keep. Our readers will remember that two or three weeks ago we mentioned the fact that Hon. B. F. Crayton had opened his silo, and that he had found the 250 loads of ensilage, which be had put into it, ex? cellently preserved. That notice was ex? tensively copied by the State press. A few days ago Mr. Crayton received the following card, which speaks for itself: -, S. C, Jan. 4. Deab Sib: I saw your adveitisement in the paper. You raised silo, of which you got 250 wagon loads of green forage. I would very much like to get some of the silo seeds. What will you take for it? Yours respectfully, We leave off the name of the author and the place from which the card was sent. It came, however, from one of the lower counties. The author, who is a stranger to Mr. Crayton, Jis known by a gentleman of this city,* and is said to be a prominent merchant of his town. He should cease studying profit and loss and take a course in Mr. Tilman's AgricultUr ral College. ' "~" BRIEF MENTION, The city Churches were not crowded last Sunday. Prohibition has gone into effect in El bert County, Ga.. The dealers in horses and mules are do? ing a good business. We dou't hear of any weddiugs to come off in the city soon. Tho stroots have not had many loafers during the past few days. The early gardener is sharpening up his tools and getting ready for work. The health of tho city is excellent. The doctors are getting nothing to do. The force of copyists in the Clerk's office is busy recording mortgages. Very few of the residents of tho city have changed residences this year. The city folks have to pay a big dollar for a very small load of wood jutt now. The colored M. E. Conference of South Carolina convenes in this city on tho 28th inst. It is rumored that a citizen of this Comity recently drow a big prize in a lot? tery. Some of the country editors have not yet recovered from tho Christmas celebra? tion. Persons indebted to J. A. Daniels should read the advertisement beaded "Fair No tico." Several of our lawyers are attending the Supreme Court in Columbia this week. The freight trains on the Air Line Rail? road aro forbidden to carry passengers now. Tho only New Y"ear calls made in An? derson this year were those of the bill col? lector. Tho little negroes have been offering rabbits for sale on the streets at live cents apiece. The merchants during the past two weeks have nut been bothered with cus? tomers. Somo of our young people arc talking of organizing a progressive euchre club in tho city. Mr. R. M. Shirley, one of Honea Path's handsomest young merchants, spont Mon? day night in the city. Wo have added a number of new names to our subscription list since 1st inst. Wo want one thousand more. Miss Orene Hughes, of Abbeville, who has been visiting relatives in this city, returned home last Monday. Tho prospects are that a number of new buildings will be erected in the city du? ring tho coming Spring and Summer. The Spring term of Court for this Coun? ty convenes on the fourth Monday in February, Judge Witherspoon presiding. The Greenville News says the State Mis? sion Iioard of tho Baptist Church lias ap? pointed for ill is year forty missionaries, whoso labors will extond into twenty-four counties. It is proposed to ox pond about $9,000 in Stato missionary work during tho year. When you need a blank deed, mortgage, contract or lien, give us a call. We keep a stock on band all the time. On Wednesday cotton was quoted in the city as follows: Middling, 8 to 8k ; good middling, 81; strict good middling, Married, on tho 7th inst., by Allen W. Clement, Notary Public, Mr. John W. Allen and Miss Martha Webb, all of An? derson Comity. The taxpaj'ors of tho city should not neglect to make their Returns to the City Council. The time expires on the last day of this month. Mr. J. R. Gossett has sold his interest in tho Easley Messenger and retired from journalism. The Messenger will bo con? tinued by Mr. J. P. Gary. The young ladies of tho Seminary don't care for the weather. They were out in full forco at tho W. C. T. U. prayer meet i ng last Sunday afternoon. The Newberry Observer, one of the best County, papers in the State, has com? menced its fourth volume. Tho Observer has our best wishes for a long, happy and prosperous life. We have got a new Carrier, and until be learns the route some of our city sub? scribers may fail to get their papers. If they do, we hope they will notify us at once, so we can supply them.; We hear of no complaint among the farmers as to the scarcity of labor in this County. It is rumored, however, that in the Spring there will be an exodus of ne? groes from this County to Arkansas. Abbeville 3Iedium: "Miss Gertrude Brownleo, of Belton, spent a part of her Christmas with the Misses Russell, of this place. Mr. Ham Webb, of Ander? son, visited our town at the same time." Mrs. Kate Sadler, of Hartwell, Ga, mother of our young townsmen, Messrs. James and Wilbur Sadler, has moved into the city, having rented the house recently vacated by Hon. H. G. Scudday, on south Main street. How much pleasanter this world would be to live in were it as easy to go to bed at night as it is to remain there in the morning, and as easy to get up in the morning as it is to talk of getting up when you go to bed! Mr. A. J. Watt, who we mentioned last week as being seriously ill, is, we are glad to state, convalescing, and his phy? sician thinks ho will be on his feet again in a short time. His many friends will rejoice to hear this. Miss Mamio Wickliffe, of this city, has gone to Hartwell, Ga., where she is en? gaged as an assistant in a nourishing school. Miss Wickliffe is a young lady of rare accomplishments, and the school is fortnnate in securing her services. In the big lire at Union, S. C, last week the store-room occupied by our young friend and form er townsman, Mr. W. D. Bewley, was destroyed. His goods, how? ever, wero saved, but were damaged by removal. His insurance will cover his loss. The world is full of people who go about fighting windmills {and wasting efforts iu struggling with imaginary evil, but the man who attends to his own bus? iness and pays cash for everything be buys is the one with whom prosperity loves to roost. Just before going to press Wednesday afternoon, we learned that Mr. Reuben Masters, who resides several miles South . of the city, met with a painful accident that morning while skating on his fish pond. We were unable to get any of the particulars. Note the change iu the advertisement of Hill, Adams & Co- This firm Is de? termined to increase its patronage this year if low prices and honest goods will do it- When you get ready to buy your supplies, yon should get their prices before buying elsewhere. At a meeting of the County Commis? sioners last week, Mr. W. T. McGill was elected Steward of the County Poor House, and Drs. P. A. & J. O. Wjlhite re elected County Physicians. The Com? missioners could not have secured a better man for Steward than Mr. McGill. Due West Presbyterian: "Mr. 13. P. Bruce, of Townville, S. C, has been in town a few days securing subscribers to the weekly Atlanta Constitution. If rumor bath it correct this is not the most pleas? ant part of his business, however. We await further results to make an interest? ing local." Advertising has got to bo a necessity to a successful pursuit of any business, and no man is a first class business man, no matter how nigh an opinion be may have of himself, who neglects it. Those who advertise most liberally do the most busi? ness, and as a matter of course make the most money. Mr. W. J. King was coming to the city on last Friday, driving a pair of mules which took fright at a man on horseback with an umbrella. Mr. King was out of the buggy fixing some part of the harness when the mules started, dragging him to the ground and running away. They broke tho buggy up badly, but did no other damage. Messrs. C. F. Jones & Co. start out in tho new year with a larger stock of goods than they have over kept et this season, and they are determined to soil them, too, even if they havo t?- " it at a sacri? fice. This firm is composed of reliable, upright young men, and our readers may depend on their goods being just what they represent thorn to be. Give them a trial. Mr. J. A. Daniels doesn't allow any monkeying around his wood pile. Mon? day night about 12 o'clock he heard some one at his wood pile. Ho aroso immedi? ately, and. securing his gun, ho went out just in time to see two men running oft" through his garden. He fired at them, but missed his mark. We venture no more raids will be madn on Mr. Daniols's wood pile. Lent will begin this year on March 10. Easter falls on tho latest date on which it possibly can occur, April 25, under the rule of the Council of Nice, which de? crees that Easter shall be observed on the Sunday after tho full moon following tho 21st of March. Its earliest possiblo dato is March 22. It is one hundred and 11 fty-two years since Easter day has been so late. It will not again fall on that day till 1913. The second session of tho Anderson Military School begins on next Monday under the charge of Profs. Ligon and Clinkscales. Boys and young men can obtain a thorougbcour.se, either in the elementary or higher branches, in this school. The terms for board and tuition are reasonable, and tho most excellent instruction will bo imparted. Parents can find no bettor school to which they can send thoir boys than to this institu? tion. We would call attention to tho medical card of Drs. M. L. Sharp and E. C. Frier son, who havo formed a partnership for the practice of their profession in this city. Dr. Sharp is too well atid favorably known throughout our County as an ex? perienced and accomplished physician to neod any introduction to the people, and Dr. Frierson also has achieved an enviable reputation in his profession. He is a young gonlloman of fine attainments, and it rapidly rising in his profession. Mrs. E. J. 'fribble, widow of the lale Mr. Win. Tribble, died at her home in Martin Township last Tuesday morning, at 2 o'clock, after a painful illness of about thrco weeks. She was a devoted member of First Creek Baptist Church, and her remains were interred in the graveyard of that Church on Wednesday, Rev. J. S. Murray conducting the funeral services. Mrs. Tribble was full of energy and perseverance, and sinceher husband's death has carried on an oxtensive farm, which sho managed very successfully. She was a devoted friend and a kind neighbor, and her death is regretted by an extensive acquaintance. She leaves three daughters, all of w bom are married, to mourn lier death. Mr. John B/Rcid and daughter, Miss Hattie, of New Albany, Mississippi, are visiting his father, Mr. T. L. Reid, of this County, and other relatives in South Car? olina. Mr. Reid is a native of Anderson Count}', but left this country for Missis? sippi about thirty years ago. Ho is a pleasant gentleman, and met many of bis former friends in our County, though, of coursc.'.things and persons have changed greatly since he left. Ho has not been back since the war, and hence his visit is almost like going to a new country. Mr. Reid has bad thirteen children, ten of whom are now living. He is in vigorous health and is loyal to his adopted home. Ho thinks tho Mississippi plan in politics, in agriculture and in morals is ahead of South Carolina. Mr. Reid is a subscriber to the Intelligencer, and through its columns has kept well posted on current events here, and manifests a keen interest in all that transpires in tho County. We wish him a pleasant visit, a safe return and a continuance of prosperity in his Western home. A Card from tho ; Colored M. E. Church Mb. Editor: Tho South Carolina Con ferenco of the Methodist Episcopal Church will hold its twentieth session in this city on the 28th inst. Rev. Bishop Edward G. Andrews, of Washington, D.. G, will pre? side over its deliberations. The weakness of our local Church, Lumerically and financially, necessitates the solicitation of aid of tho Christian citizens of Ander? son, irrespective of color, in order that tho Conference ma3r be comfortably en? tertained. Dear friends, will you help us? Donations of groceries or fuel will be thankfully received, and will command the lasting gratitude of the Methodists of this city. Contributions in substance or cash may be left with David Dooly, Chas. E. Cherry. George Caldwell, Abrain Mc Cawlcy, or at tho M. E. parsonage. J. B. Middleton, Pastor. PEMBERTONVJ FRENCH WINE COCA.

We call your attention to the above Plow, for which we are the Agents. Call and sec it, To our Friends and Fsitroiis; : WE have been so very busy for the past t wo months that we have not had time to write a new advertisement. We desire, however, to return our thanks to our friends and customers for their very liberal patronage during the season, notwithstanding we have been wearing our same old clothes, and hav? been unable to don a new dress. You are all familiar, no doubt, with the old song of "Big Stock," "Selling out at Cost," and such headings with which the papers are tilled; and while we have never claimed to sell at cost, nor to carry the largest stock in the City, yet you have always found our Stock complete, and o?r prices as low as the lowest." Wc are here for the purpose of doing a legitimate business. This is our home, and we have no idea of moving to any other clime. We understand the wants of our cus? tomers as well as any one else in the trade, and si all use every opportunity of getting the inside figures and bottom rock discounts on everything we buy, thus enabling us to sell as low as is consistent with fair, square dealing.' Now. look around and get all the "Cheap John" prices, then come to us and get fnll value for your money. Wc guaran? tee to give it. Now, we have a word to say about what we have already done: You remember about that balance yon owe us on'Xoto or Account or for Guano sold you. Well, we have waited patiently until the cotton season is almost over, and must now insist that you come to see us at once, without further delay, and make set? tlement, for if you do"not we will be compelled to look after our interest; and it is bet? ter for you to c?me to see us than for us to have ;u go about through the County en? quiring where you live, because all your neighbors know what a man is after when he travels around enquiring the way to people's houses at this time of the year. So you had better come on and see us. Business is business, and friendship and friendly rela? tions arc good things to cultivate. We must insist upon a strict compliance with the former, while we like also to enjoy the latter. Remember to call and see us when you want to sell your Cotton. Wc are always in the Cotton Market for Cash. Yours truly, McCULLY, CATHCART & CO.
