The pleasant season of 'the year, with the beautiful moonlight evenings, will add greatly to tho efforts of tho ladies to afford an enjoyable evening to the public. The object is to add to the building fund for the new church which tho Baptists here contemplate erecting. We hope their efforts will be largely To warded by a liberal patronage from tho public. The School Exhibition at Good Hope Church last Thursday under the manage? ment of Hiss Iva A. Cook was a most on joyable occasion. The community turn? ed out in full force, and 6very one present was highly entertained. The Church, in which the exercises were held, was tastily and elaborately decorated. Tho exercises consisted of dialogues and extract speech? es by the smaller hoys and girls and orig? inal essaj's by the'young ladies. The boys and girls acquitted themselves admi? rably, while the essays of the j'oung ladies were exceptionally good. At the close of the programme a sumptuous dinner was served. Two tables were spread, under the management of committees, one for tho visitors generally and the other for the school, the band and the speakers After a pleasant recess, the crowd re? assembled and were addressed by G. E. Prince, Esq., who delivered a very sensi? ble speech appropriate to the occasion. The Young America Cornet Band, of this city, discoursed excellent music through? out the day to the delight of all present. Miss Cook is an accomplished and efficient teacher, and she deserves much praise and congratulation for the success of tho ex? hibition. Unprecedented in the history of Ander? son was the Grand Opening at tho New York Cash Store last Thursday. The immense store, up-stairs and down-stairs, presented a truly grand sceno, bewilder? ing with the profuse display of all kinds of pretty goods and attractive in decora? tions. The crowd of admiring ladies who thronged this popular store all day was in itself an evidence that the efforts Mr. Arnstein and his efficient assistants had made were appreciated. There wcro lovely laces, handsomo parasols, beautiful embroideries, tasty dress goods, stylish white goods, gloves, hosiery, muslins, silks, satins, table linens, towels, fans, all in endless array, while tho lino hats in the extensive millinery rooms engrossed the scrutinizing eyes of ladies for hours ; some pattern hats were of extreme good taste, aud tended to make Miss Bramlett, who has charge of this department, more popular than ever. A special feature was the handsome manner in which all the visitors were treated to ice cream, cakes, lemonade, sherbet, fruit3, candies, etc., besides to a Cape May hat as a souvenir, of which over 500 were given away. Mr. Arnstein requests us to return thanks for the many kind expressions from all visit? ors, and also for the numberless beautiful floral offerings received from bis lady friends. We invite a careful perusal of his advertisement iu this paper. We clip the following from tho Soulhern Christian Advocate: "In a church not a thousand miles away, the brethren wore recently gravely considering the question of dancing, which had been brought for? ward by tho engagement of a number of young sisters in this worldly amusement, when one of the brethren arose and de? clared that 'if it were not for the Metho? dist roosters our Baptist pullets would not be led so frequently to offend against tho church.' Wo are not informed as to what action the church took; thoy may yot bo considering tho point mado by their brother, who has, by tho way, gained some notoriety as an objector. We. take the liberty here and now of referring tho question as presented abovo to our beloved brother of tho Southern Christian Advocate, with the request that ho shall consider and report at his earliest convcuicnco as to what ought to be done in the promi? ses."? Baptist Courier. Ah, brother, you are too hard for us. Tboso dear little "Baptist pullets'' are so sweet and nice, it is almost impossiblo to keep the "Meth? odist roosters" in their own range. Crop? ping their wings won't do it?they mount tho fence, feathere or no feathers; and when thoy get over into the Baptist com? mon and'feed awhile on the long grass that grows by the water's edge, thoy for? get the wholesome lessons learned on the Methodist highlands, and strutand prance about as if to the manor born.

Anderson now has one of the best equipped und most efficient Fire Depart? ments ol iiir, r\iy in tho Statu |-r"potliuu alc to it.s size. Tho Department is c-fJi ? eiunlly trained, and for thu time that it has been organized, is a marvel of order and system. Tho whole Department has been "created in the past two years, having been perfected and regularly organized during the past two months. The first company funned was the "Pioneer" Steamer Company, which was purchased by tho City Council from Charleston, du? ring Mayor Maxwell's term, but has been thoroughly refitted and perfected since It has a membership of about fifty mem? bers, commanded by President Janies M. Payne, who has long been known in Anderson as a most daring and success? ful fireman. This engine is a powerful one, with the finest appointments in every respect, and tho company have 1200 feet of hose livo inches in diameter, and with the ample cistern arrangements can reach almost every house in the most populous portions of tho city. With a few addi? tional cisterns, which wo learn aro to be speedily placed on the outskirts of tho city, (lie system of protection will be as ample as can bo reasonably desired. This company, tho "Pioneers," stand at tho top of the list of efficient companies, from their record at the Greenville tournamont last year, in which they ran 100 yards and throw a fifty feet stream of water in 221 seconds, which so far as we know, is the fastest time on record. This company is thoroughly efficient and has already done extremely valuable service in saving the business portion of our city from de? struction. They aro prompt, vigilant, daring and efficient. "Tho Hough and Ready" hand Engine I Company is also composed of about .fifty members, aud is officered and manned by tho colored people, and have for their President Lawrence Jones. Their engine was purchased only a short time ago by. our present Council, and thoy have never had so far an opportunity of showing their progress at a fire. They have drilled fre? quently, aud show that they aro fully propared to do valuable work whenever occasion requires. The last addition to the department is the "Independent" Hook and Ladder Company, which has recently been organ? ized by some of the young men of tho city with Mr. G. M. Tolly, as President. Thoy have purchased a most handsome and complete outfit, consisting of a Truck built by Horton & Co., Fire Apparatus Manufacturers, Cincinnati, hung on full platform springs, with a tiller behind so that the truck .can make short turns. Its length is about 40 feet, height 8 feet 7 in? ches, and is equipped as follows : 7 lad dors?one -15 feet extension, one 30 feet straight, one 24 foot straight, ono 20 feet straight, one 18 foot roof ladder, and ono 18 feet scaling ladder, 4 fire axes, 2 with picks, 12 rubber buckets, 4 ladder sup? ports, G hand pole hooks, 1 largo poll hook with chain and rope attached, 1 largo crow bar, 2 Babcock Fire Extinguishers, equal to 2S0 gallons of water each, 4 fire lan? terns, 1 trumpet for officer in command, and a signal lamp w ith tho emblem of tho Company. The Independents have never been at a fire since their organization, but have ex? hibited their skillful handling of their equipment in parade. They can readily scale any building in the city and can do most valuable work as auxilliary to the water engines. These threo Companies arc organized under a City Ordinance, with Dr. It. P. Divver as Chiof, and Capt. John O'Don uell as Assistant. These gentlemen have been ideutilied with the Department from its formation, and by experience, .judg? ment and tact are well qualified for the duties assigned them. Thoy have under their command a most excellont body of firemen, and when occasion re? quires may be depended upou to do effi? cient work. A Trip Into tho Country. Last Friday in company with our clever friend E. W Long, E*q , wo left tho city for a trip into the country, our destina? tion bring the pic nie that had boon ar? ranged to take place at Slabtowu Acade? my ou Saturday. The weather ou Friday was not favorable, but as visions of pretty girls and fried chi.-ken passed through our mind we determined not to be disap? pointed. In the afternoon, however, the clouds scattered, aud tho indications wore that the morrow would be fair. With this hope in our mind we drove out of tho city about 5 o'clock. Tho roads v/oro in go?d condition for travelling, aud tho afternoon was cool and delightful. As we drove along the Greenville road, wo could i not help admiring tlie beauties of nature so elegantly arrayed in her mantlo of green. The farms looked as neat as the plow could make them. In many fiolds the corn was up, and tho cotton was peep? ing out uf tho ground. The wheat and oats in most of the fields were small in stature, but promises a fair yield. On every hand we could note tho evidence of industry and prosperitj'. Thus amusing ourselves, time passed rapidly, and wo soon drove up to the hospitable home of Mr. Harrison Tucker, who resides about nine miles from the city. Here we spent tho night most pleasantly. As is well known, Mr. Tucker is one of Anderson County's most successful and enterprising farmers. He has always raised his own supplies, consequently he has made a competency, which he is now enjoying He has turned his large plantation over to his four sons, all of whom are live, energetic youug men, and a view of their crops is sufficient to convince any one that they know oxactly how to conduct a farm. This year they aro running between thir? ty and forty plows. Mr. Tucker resides a half mile off of the Greenville road, but ho is uow building a substantial new dwelling in a beautiful grovo on that road. It will bo completed in a few weeks, when he will occupy it. Saturday morning we continued our journoy, and reached Slabtown about 10 o'clock. People were coming in from every direction, and it was soou evident that a largo crowd would be in attendance. For thirty years or more the people of that section have had an annual pic nie at Slabtown on Saturdaj' before the second Sunday in May, and strango to sa}' du? ring that whole time the weather has never been unfavorablo on that day. Slabtown is an historic place, being one of the oldest settled places in the County. When the place was first settled, wc aro told, $a large number of the houses were built of slabs, aud from that it took its name. Near tho present Academy stood the once famous school of that noted ped? agogue, Rev. J. L. Kennedy. The day was an ideal pic nie day, and by 11 o'clock tho crowd had got fairly into the festivities of the occasion. The da}' was spent entirely in asocial way. The Acad? emy building was used by tho merry dancers, who put in full timo. Of course, those couples that did not dance roamed around in the woods and grounds and talked "politics," which naturally follow when youth and beauty meet. A basket dinner was served, and if every ono pres? ent fared like wo did, there was no ground for complaint. The entire day was ono of enjoyment, and will long remain a green spot in our memory. No section of An? derson County can produce more pretty young ladies and clever young men than was gathered there. Wo spent Saturday night at tho home of Col. Joshua Jameson, our efficient Chairman of tho Board of County Com? missioners. Two years ago last March, our readers will rcmcmbor, Col. Jameson had the misfortune to have his dwelling and entire contents destroyed by a cyclone. He is now completing a new and substantial house ou the same site. Ho has. a model farm, which is managed by his son, Mr. Brooks Jameson, who, liko his father, is a practical farmer. Everything around his promises denotes enterprise and thrift. He owns one of tho best milch cows in the County, she hav? ing given frequently six gallons of milk in one day. Col. Jameson raises his own supplies, and pays considerable attention to fruits, vegetables, etc. Such farmers never feel the pressure of hard times, lie and hi^cxccllent wife, with then interest? ing family, are untiring in their attention to a visitor, and it is certainly a treat to visit their hospitable home. On Sunday we had tho pleasure of at? tending services at Pisgah Church, and listened to an able sermon from Rev. It. H. Griffith, of Greenville. This Church is a largo brick building, and is situated in a beautiful locality. There was an im? mense congregation present, and fully one-third of the people were not ablo to get into the house. Wo met a number of the citizens of that section, and were favorably impressed with all of them. Tho crops throughout that section aro far advanced and look well, though numbers of the farmers say their cotton crop is not coming up, and "jt. is feared that they will have to do consid? erable replanting. Tho small grain crop is doing well. Brushy Creek Township is full of substantial, progressive farmer.;, and there is not a tnoro clever or social)! i people in any other section of the Count/. Wo returned homo Sunday afternoon, thoroughly convinced that a trip into tho country is the most pleasant recreatiou that a worn-out newspaper man can lake. Obituary. Lindsoy A.

Humphreys, President of the Road, called the meeting to order, and. upon his nomi? nation, Col. J. W. Xorris was peeled chairman of the Convention. Messrs. J. E. Brcazealc and W. S. Ligon were elected Secretaries, and the Convention was duly organized, a majority of the slock "f i !n! Company being present. The temporary organization was made the permanent or? ganization, and the report of President Humphreys was submitted as follows: Axdersox, S. C, May 12, lSKfi. To the Stockholders of the Savannah Valley Railroad Company: It was my pleasure at your last annual'Convention to congratu? late you upon the execution of a contract for the completion of your road. Since that time?namely, in the month of Octo? ber?the work of track-laying was com? menced at McCormiel: and has progressed as far as Lowndesvillc, to which pojut trains are now running under such regula? tions, and with such facilities for transpor? tation of persons and freighc as the partial completion and the progress of the work will admit. It is contemplated that the track-laying will be finished to Anderson by the middle or last of July, when the road will be turned o)ier to the "Company prop? erly equipped by the contractor, by whom it is now and v/ill in the meantime be ope? rated. Stations have been selected along the line at suitable intervals as to distance and convenience, where houses are now being erected at the depot stations for the business of the road. The mortgage of the road, its property and franchises, heretofore authorized by stockholders, has been executed, and the bonds to be secured by the mortgage are being primed preparatory to their execu? tion and delivery to Mr. Raoul, contractor, to iron and equip the road. The entire issue will be between $4SO,000 and $500,000, an increaseof about?20,000over theamount originally offered to finish the road, occa? sioned by advances of the contractor to complete the grading. The Company will then be prepared to settle with the contrac? tor when the road is finished. Since your last annual meeting, Col. James M. Latimer, your former President, and afterwards a Director, has died, he having lived to see the grading of the road completed, and the last of the work having been done at Lowndesville, be testified bis pleasure by celebrating the event. The revival of the road under its presen' char? ter originated with him, and fruiu the preparation and adoption of the charter to the day of his death be was steadfast, faithful and earnest in his devotion to its interests and advancement. A committee was appointed at your special meeting in December last to prepare and submit to the Convention resolutions commemorative of his services to the road. The vacancy on the Board created by his death has been filled by the election by the Board of Mr. G. P. Tolly, Mayor of Anderson, as a recognition as well of his fitness and of his zeal for the road, as of the large sub? scription made by the City of which he is the official head. I regret, also, to announce to you tho resignation from the Board of Mr. W. G. Watson, which occurred in April last. He has been an earnest and consistent friend of the enterprise from its inception, and in all its trials and vicissitudes was a faithful and efficient member of the Board, and his collegues deeply regret that his private business made it incumbent for him to take this step. I wish to call your attention to the pres? ent awkward and unnecessary representa? tion in your Conventions of the original Township subscriptions of stock, and to suggest the adoption of proper measures to get rid of it. Such representation was necessary under the charter to pcrfoct and continuo the organization until the stock subscribed by the Townships was paid in ; but these subscriptions having been paid, and the charter having provided for the conversion of tax receipts of the individual taxpayers into certilicates of private stock,' there is no reason why all I he stock should not be thus taken up; and if this were fully done tho Townships representa? tion would doubtless cease by operation of law, as there would be nothing left fur their delegates to represent. It will perhaps bo necessary in this con? nection to enforce the conversion of tax receipts into certilicates of stock, by pre? scribing a period of limitation within which they should be converted or else the stock be forfeited. Whether the Conven? tion can in and by itself adopt effectual measures to accomplish this object, or whether it will be necessary to resort to the Legislature on the subject, is a matter I leave to your consideration. I herewith transmit the report of the Treasurer, showing the financial condition of the Company, Respectfully Submitted, W. W. Humphreys, President S. V. R. R. The report was received as information. The report of W. S. Ligon Treasurer was then submitted as follows, and referred to an auditing committee, with Mr. J. D. Maxwell as chairman, and approved: treasure's report. 11'. .S'.

Murray, the following resolution was adopted : Resolved, That the Board of Directors of tho Savannah Valley Railroad be requested to secure an Act of the Legislature which will require persons entitled tj unfunded Stock for taxes paid towards constructing the road, to take up their Stock before the next annual meeting, or forfeit the same to the Company. Maj. B. F. Whitner offered the following preamble and resolutions commemorative of the services of the late Col. James M. Latimer, which were unanimously adopted: Whereas, Col. James M. Latimer was the first to suggest and openly advocate the revival of the Savannah Valley Rail? road. The old corporation of the Savan? nah River Valley Railroad had died of inanition during tho late war, and it was mainly through the efforts of Col. Latimer that the present, a new and distinct corpo? ration, was formed. Having conceived the idea he advised with friends of the enterprise along the line, collected information as to ways and means best adapted for building the road, and caused the charter, under which the Company was organized, to be framed and adopted. He is justly entitled, therefore, to be regarded as the originator of the enterprise, and from its inception to the day of his death his devotion to its in? terests never flagged, nor was there any cessation of his efforts in its behalf. In recognition of his earnestness and zeal he was made the first President of the Com? pany?in 1879?with great unanimity, and served in this capacity for four years", hav? ing been successively re-elected. These were, for tho most part, years of difficulty, of gloom and doubt in the history cf o?r road. The plan of building a railroad, controlled by a private corporation by tax? ation was new to our people, and many uf our most substantial citizens and largest taxpayers sternly opposed it as a dangerous innovation. Contributions or taxes were paid in slowly, a large part was for a time defiantly withheld, and the treasury of the Company continued in a crippled condi? tion, amounting almost to a chronic state of depletion. Yet these difficulties did not dampen the ardor or shake the resolution of Col. Latimer, or disturb his equanimity. The wurk was commenced, and steadily progressed with the means at his control"; and such was the kindliness of his nature, his great urbanity and consideration for the opinions of others, that all opposition and resistance was overcome and men were persuaded and cajoled into paying their contributions. His suavity of manner, combined with his high character, enabled him to render conspicuous service in secur? ing rights of way from landowners along the line who were tho enforced contribu? tors to the building of the road. He was indeed no ordinary man : of a command? ing person and pleasing address, endowed with a high sense of justice, with great charity, he combined the firmness of a man with tho gentleness of a woman. Modest in asserting his own opinions, he was al? ways considerate of the opinion of others and yet had the courage of his convictions. Alter declining a re-election as President he was made a Director of the Company, and continued in this relation to his death, evincing to the last the same untiring en? ergy and devotion to tho interests cf the road, in whatever held his services could be. employed. Indeed, though past the prime of life, the last six or seven years uf his life were consecrated to this work, and the very last act of his life, outside the routine of his private duties, was to join with his neighbors in celebrating the completion of thu grading of the road by a festival to the working force. He died a day or two af? terwards?Oct. lf>, lS???to the great regret uf his friends and co-workers that he could not have lived to enjoy the fruition of his hopes and efforts in the final completion of the road. The singleness uf his devotion to our enterprise;, and the eminent services he rendered to its advancement has secured for his memory a place in our most grateful recollection. Be it, therefore, Resolved, by the .Stockholders of the Sa? vannah Valley Railroad in Convention as? sembled ? 1. That in the death of Col. Jamrs M Latimer, the first President, this Company lias lost, its earliest advocate, and ono of it'i'most Plc-'tdfasl and ;:calous supporters, mid Unit to Iiis iiufhUrring lirvuliuii ami earnest efforts dtiu, in a large measure, the ouccessful issue of our efforts. It will always he linked in association with his name. 2. That in grateful recollection of his services, and as a tribute of respect, a page of our minutes bo inscribed to his memory, slating the offices in the Company held by him, and the date of his death. 3. That the Secretary of this Convention be instructed to transmit to the family of the deceased a copy of these resolutions, as a mark of our respect for his character and of our sympathy in this bereavement. Upon motion of Mr. W. S. Ligon, the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year : President?W. W. Hum? phreys ; Directors?W. G. Raoul, S. Bleckley, P. K. McCully, B. P. Whitner, G. 1<\ Tolly, J. N. Brown, S. J. Hester, J. T. Hester, Jas. SI. Latituer. The meeting then adjourned. A Plea for Young Men. At the last monthly meeting of tho Charleston Association John B. Adger, Jr., President, presided. Twenty now Members were received. Their reading room is now supplied with the leading papers and magazines of the country. The increase in the attendance at tho gym? nasium has beeu marked, and a very en? couraging report was received. Dr. Brack - ctt then gave an able address, a synopsis of which wo take from tho New? und Cou? rier: The subject of his address was the unconscious influences arising from bad books, companions and amusements. After dwelling upon the nature and pow? er of the law of influence, and showing how a young man becomes like the books he roads, the persons with whom ho asso? ciates and the pleasures in which he in? dulges, the question was asked: How shall wo rescue our young men from these fatal influences? Tho reply was: It is tho design of the Young Men's Christian Association to furnish an answer, and proposes to *ave our young men from tho influence of infidel and immoral publi? cations by providing them with a pure and wholesome literature; to save them from evil company by inviting them into a society of Christian young men who hon? or God's day, name and word; to save thom from hurtful amusements by offer? ing them innocent and healthful pleasures and recreations. Next to tho church, there is no organization that more deserves the consecration of our time, talent and property,? Watchman. The above will furuish food for thought for the good people of Auderson. It is time for serious thought and prompt ac? tion. Our young men in their efforts to stem the tide of sin are being one by one swopt away by its mighty currents. Surely a community that suffers tho privilege of ruining young men to be bartered away for the sum of three thousand dollars, can and will spend at least ono-sixth of that amount in an eflort to save them. Can't we give them a substitute for the open saloon and billiard hall? Six olegantly furnished palaces of sin, where adorn? ment and attractions innumerable arc found, are doing a mighty work for the young men of our city. Is it not time that this monopoly was destroyed? Who will stretch oat his hand and take the lead in .this matter and like Charleston, while we are so engaged in saving monoy, inaugurato a movement that will aid in saving our young men? The object is certainly worthy and tho moans are prov? ing abundantly successful in all the citie-* and towns of Christendom. A Young Man.
