Vandiver, of Hopewell Township, was in the city Tuesday morning, wearing one of his happiest smiles. All (he other farmers on the streets were a little blue on account of the heavy rains, and we inquired of our friend why he looked so happy.

A certain young man attended the ice cream festival Tuesday afternoon.

Hartwell Sim : Died, in Hartwell, Ga., May 13th, 1886, Mrs. Elizabeth McCoy, of Anderson County, S. 0. Mrs. McCoy was born at what Is known in Anderson as the Five Forks and reared in that County. She has many relatives in Anderson and old Pickons County who will be pained to hear of her death. Although a mem? ber of no Church, she died fully trusting In her belief. May God bless and comfort the only child, a daughter, the aged pa? rents, brothers and sisters of the deceased. Her remains were interred in the Hart well cemetery on Friday, the 14th. Due West Presbyterian, 20th inst.: "Mr. H. C. Poore, who lately moved to the old Addison Clinkscales' place three miles west of town, had the misfortune to have his dwelling and all its contents burned last Sabbath morning about 3 o'clock. No insurance. Loss about ?1,500. The fire was accidental. As usual in such cases, the people of this town and vicinity have responded liberally to relieve the pressing wants of a friend in need." Mr. Poore is a native of tho Eastern side of our County, where he has many friends, who deeply sympathize with him in his loss. The young man had been going often and staying late .until the girl felt the monotony. One night about 11 o'clock the conversation dragged and for a minute or two he sat in a cogitative mood with his hand on his forehead. "I had some? thing pleasant to tell you," he said, final? ly. "Yes," she responded, inquiringly, "what was it ?" "Um?um?let me soc," rubbing his bead; "I can't just think what it was." "Maybe it was 'good night,' " she suggested. He looked at her for a minute, but she never flinched; then he went away, and up to date has not been back. The festival in aid of tho Baptist Church was quite a financial success this week. The heavy rains of Monday drove visitors .in baste from Mr. Murray's lawn, but Messrs. Smith andTribble's storeroom was tendered them, and they re-opened there on Monday and Tuesday evenings, and sold out their contributions to good ad? vantage, taking in over one hundred dollars. The children's procession on Monday afternoon with the Young Amer? ica Cornet Band at its head, was a beau? tiful sight, but did not reach the lawn, as it was compelled to turn back to escape a drenching rain. Altogether we think the ladies are to be congratulated upon their excellent management under trying difficulties. We understand that the County Com? missioners will replace the destroyed bridges as rapidly as judicious contracts can be let for the work, but that they will not undertake to proceed faster than they can do with a judicious regard for the finances of the County, and the neces? sities of the travelling public. In this we think they are wise, for they will save the County several thousand dollars. The damaged bridges should be repaired, and the Mill bridges replaced as soon as prac? ticable. The mill bridges aro important alike to the public and to private interests, and should receive an early attention. We know that the Commissioners in charge of tho County's interests Will do the best that can be done under the circum? stances, and the public will have to put up with the necessary inconvonionco of the situation, and should do so without grumbling, for the calamity could not have been avoided, and cannot now be repaired without taking considerable time and money. We are indebted to our young friend John A. Towers, of the United States Military Academy, West Point, N. Y., for an invitation to attend the "Farewell Hop" to be given to the graduating class of the Academy on Friday evening, June 11th. The invitation is handsomo and stylish. The graduating class this year, consists of seventy-eight cadets, aud Mr. Towers stands sixth in the class. The cadets graduate with the rank of Lieuten? ant, and have choice of position in either tho infantry, cavalry or artillery. We are informed that he has chosen the latter service. The graduating exercises of the Academy take place on Juno 12th, and Mi-. Towers will at onco leave for his homo in this city, where ho will spend several weeks, and then go to San I^rancison, Cal., where ho will bo stationed. Wo congrat? ulate our young friend. His record throughout the four years he has been at tho Academy is not only creditable to himself, but also to his nativo State and Count}'. If fidolity and true merit aro considered, Mr. Towers will soon bo pro? moted to a higher rank than Lieutenant. Mr. David L. Wardlaw died at his homo in Brush}' Creek Township last Saturday morning, at 8 o'clock. He retired to bed Friday night in his usual health. About 1 o'clock Saturday morning his wifo was awakened by a peculiar noise that he made while breathing. She soon discov? ered that something was wroug.with him, and at once called in several neighbors to assist bcr in giving him relief. Nothing, however, could be done for him, and he lingered in an unconscious state until 8 o'clock. The physician pronounced his disease apoplexy. Mr. Wardlaw was about GO years of age, and was born and reared in Anderson County. He was a valuable citizen, a zealous Christian, a kind father and a devoted husband. Du? ring the late war he was a valiant soldier, and served from the beginning to the close. He has a host of friends and rela? tives in various sections of the County, and the announcement of his doath will be sad news to them. He was an activo and faithful member of Pisgah Baptist Church, and his remains were interred in the cemetery of that Church on Sunday morning. A wife and one son survive him. Swept by Rnglug Waters. The heavy rains of last week have proven extremely disastrous in this County. The waters upon all of the larg.-. streams have been higher than they have ever been known in the memory of our oldest inhabitants, except in tho August freshet of 1852, and we have no doubt that the volume of water in these streams last week was greater even than in tho memorable flood of thirty-four years ago. The marks of that flood nave been preserved largely by marks upon trees, and some allowance must be made for the heightening of the mark by the growth of the trees; but the great advan? tage of the present over that period is that our streams have been largely clear? ed, ditched and straightened, so that they will empty water much faster than they did in 1852, and hence the same volume of water would not raise them near so high as it did in 1852. While the water? mark was ncr so high as in 1852, the de? vastation from the swelling waters was greater, because of the largo area of bot? tom lands that have been brought into cultivation. Ninety per cent of tho corn planted has been ruined, we suppose, by the high waters. In many places it can be replanted, aud a full crop, or nearly so, made; but in others the washes have been bad, and tracts of beautiful bottom have been converted into worthless sand bars. It is impossible to estimate the amount of injury from the overflow' of bottomlands. Another source of private loss is the washing away of hundreds of thousands of panels of pagture fencing, which has gone at a most busy season of the year, and a great deal of which has been totally carried off, entailing great inconvenience, expense and labor upon the owners. The public losses consist in this County entirely of bridges, as far as we havo learned. Beginning at the lower line of the County, and going through the im? portant bridges that have been swept away or damaged, we have heard of the following in this Connty: Cox's bridge, on Broadmouth, injured. Broadaway bridge, at the trestle, gone. Carpenter & Geer's Mill bridge, over Broadaway, wrecked. Emerson's bridge, over Rocky River, thrown out of plumb, and two benches snnk. Jackson's Mill bridge, over Rocky Riv? er, gone. Milford's upper mill bridge, over Rocky River, gone. McGee's bridge, over Generostee, goue. Burriss' bridge, over Six-and-Twonty, badly damaged. Centreville Mills bridge, over Six-atid Twenty, gone. The Pendleton Factory bridge, over Three-and-Twenty, slightly damaged. Dickson's bridge. overThrec-and-Twen ty, gone. Tippen's Mill bridge, over Three-and Twenty, gone. The Commissioners estimate the Coun? ty's loss, with careful management, at from $5,000 to $6,000. This will render the most rigid economy in tho manage? ment of the County's finances necessary to avoid heavy taxation next year. In addition to the general losses spoken of above, we understand that in many instances mill property has suffered to a great degree. Messrs. Carpenter & Geer's gin-house was wrecked, a gin washed awaj', and about GOO bushels cotton seed destroyed. Lops some SG00 or $700. The rivers stood in the mill-houses at many points, aud damaged machinery, fixtures and buildings. The waters undermined a portion of tho railroad trestle across Broadaway, and about sixty feet of the eastern part of the trestle fell in. Tho up passenger train reached it before the fall on Wednesday afternoon, but it was thought to be unsafe, and the train re? turned to Belton, thus escaping another fearful wreck at this point. Our mails have been sadly demoralized, and there is no telling when things will get straight. Belton News. Last Monday morning intelligence was received at this place that Anderson Rich? ardson, colored, who resided on the place of Mr. J. W. Johnston, near Staunton villo, was found dead Sunday evening about half a mile from his homo. Trial Justice W. F. Cox, accompaniod by Dr. J. M. Holcombe, was summoned to hold an inquest over tho body. Tho jury, which was impannelled at the place, rendered a verdict in accordance with the following facts: Tho deceased had been aillicted with consumption for tho last six months ?seriously for the last six weeks. Last week (Monday) he rode over to a nogro's, who lives about three-quarters of a mile from the home of the deceased. Last Friday aftornoon he attempted to walk home. As the deceased lived alone, no uneasiness was felt, it being supposed that he had reached home. When fouud he was about three hundred yards from the house of the negro whom he had been visiting. Dr. J. M. Holcombe, who made the post mortem examination, sa3rs that it is most probable that after tho deceased started home he became so weak that he was unable to go any further; he lay down on the side of the road, and the in? clement weather last Friday night hasten? ed his death, which took place during tho night. Last Saturday we had au occasion to visit Broadway trestle, which was partly washed away by the recent heavy rains. All the benches on the east side of the creek had been washed away. Tho su? perstructure, on account of its having been well put together, did not fall when the supports wero washed from boneath. The same state of affair* existed ton years ago when it fell through. The great force of the water at this point makes it diffi? cult to keep a trestlo. Why in the nanio of humanity does not tho company put up ono that will stand ? Mr. Hill, the ex? perienced bridge builder, who has chargo of the work, says that with ten hands, putting ten days extra work on the foun? dation, he can make it so no rain can affect it, But for the vigilance of the Sec? tion Master the up train might have plunged into tho same place, whoro so many lives and so much properly was lost ton years ago. Can property and even life be held so lightly by tbe com? pany ? Tbc heavy rains lust week did illuch damage in this section ; among which was the breaking ol* Mr. G. W. McGeo's lish pond. Mr. McGoe had a very large pond, which he had stocked with carp. Tbo in? flux of water; caused by tbe breaking of a side ditch, broke the pond. ATI of tho fish escapod.' Tho next day some weigh? ing from eight to ton pounds woro caught in tho creek below. W. E. B. Pelzer. We spent a few hours at tbe thriving town of Pelzer on Saturday last. We called first on President Smythe at his office, and then on Messrs. G. W. Sullivan, A B. Carpenter, A. H. Ford, and Mr. Clark, the Superintendent of the Mills. Capt. Smythe informed us that he was having an extensive addition made to the Pelzer Mills and we bad tbe pleasure in company with him of viewing the site for the structure, which already has the gran? ite foundation stones arranged on it. The work is being pushed forward by a large force of workmen. This addition will be finished by the time of the coming in of the new cotton crop. Capt. Smythe also informed us that the machinery for this new structure has already been purchased, as he made an extended trip to the North in the early Spring months for that purpose. Mr. W. T. Davis, a gentleman of large experience as a contractor has control of this important work, and is working with his well-known energy. Capt. Smythe is also having added to the Pelzer Mills, on the East side, a large additional structure, in which is to be kept the cotton as it is first unbaled and then prepared for the batting room. It will be distinct from the Mills, with a brick wall intervening so that in case fire should be? come spread in it, tbe flames will not be allowed to extend to the spinning and weaving departments. President Smythe is also having erected forty new tenement house1?, for the occupa? tion of the additional hands that will be needed when the new machinery is put in operation. When this is done, there will be employed in these Mills about six hun? dred and fifty hands. The population of I Pelzer is now about sixteen hundred souls; then it will in all probability be increased to two thousand. By the foregoing statements, it will be seen that the place exhibits a scene of bus? iness animation, and one which is most gratifying to obser/e. The completion alone of these enterprises will transform Pelzer into a town of importance; but when the Narrow Gauge Railroad is built, the p1 :e will again assume still larger pro? portions, as it is on the line of that impor? tant thoroughfare. President Smythe, being one of the Board of Directors of the Narrow Gauge Railroad, takes much inter? est . in its consti action and completion, evincing great satisfaction in the fact that it will touch his town and have a depot there. The substantial subscription of seven thousand five hundrnd dollars, pledg? ed by his corporation for the building of the road" awaits the official demand of the Board i Directors for its payment. We were pleased to learn the concern entertain? ed by President Smythe In the success of the road, feeling that that interest was an additional assurance of its rapid progress and final completion to Greenville. Mr. L. Padfiet, the excellent gentleman and well known contractor, who superin? tended the building of the tenemeu; houses of Piedmont and -Pelzer, has the contract for the construction of the new house?, tnd is pushing the work forward with nis well-known energy. Mr. W. D. Goodwin of Greenville has a large force of hands employed in a brick? yard, located on the Greenville side of Salu da River, where he will make from five hundred thousand to one million of bricks. Wc presume these bricks when made will be used in the erection of the new wing to the mills. One of tho new and important institu? tions of Pelzer is the Chicora Savings Bank, of which Capt. Smythe is the presi? dent. It is separate and distinct from the Mills. It is prepared to do a general bank? ing business, and allows interest on depos? its of four per cent., compounded semi-an nually. This bank will no doubt be of much convenience to tbe business men of Pelzer, but also of utility to the operatives in the Mills, who will thus have a place in which they can safely deposit any surplus money they may have, to keep for a rainy day. We are told that already many of the farmers living in the country contiguous to Pelzer can attest to its convenience, as it has supplied quite a number of them with the money necessary to operate their farms, at a reasonable rate of interest, and thus have been protected from the neces? sity of giving liens on their crops. We feel confident that this Bank will prove of real benefit to the people in this course. The rate of interest allowed by its officers on deposits should be an inducement to those who have either largo or small suras, to deposit with them. Mr. G. W. Sullivan, Jr., conducts an extensive mercantile business. His store is quite popular, and wc were told that five-sixths of his former patrons doing businoss with him while at Fork Shoals, followed him to his present location. This speaks well for him. He has in his employ Mr. John L. Savage of Fairview, Mr. Milton M. Manly, Mr. S. L. Russell, of Abbeville, and formerly deputy sheriIf, and Mr. W. F. Boatner, of Williamston, Mr. S. F. Clary also assists him at time?. Mr. A. B. Carpenter is the efficient post? master at Pelzer, and gives satisfaction in the performance of his duties. He likewise keeps a drug store, the only one in the town, besides a stock of jewelry, which he sells at reasonable profits. For the accom? modation of commercial travelers, he also keeps a horse and buggy, and conveys them to points distant from the. line of-the rail? road. In his drug store he has erected a soda fountain, which sends forth a bever? age that rivals the products of those in this City. We enjoyed a glass very much. Pelzer has an elegant and imposing church edifice, which is constructed on the style, somewhat, of the Presbyterian Church in this City. It cost five thousand dollars, and was built by funds generously donated for the purpose by Mr. F. J. Pel? zer of Charleston. It is used by all of the denominations. Services arc held every Sunday in it by different ministers, Rev. C. L. Stewart and Rev. W. A. Botts being among them. A Sunday-school is kept up all the year round. The following gentle? men compose the corps of officers : Super intendent, Mr. W. E. Owens; assistant superintendent, Mr. P. B. Langston; sec rotary and treasurer, Mr. A. L. Blake. The attendance averages from one hundred and thirty to one hundred and fifty. The school uses the Bible Lesson Pictures and the International Lessons. It will be thus seen that this school is a prosperous one.? Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer. Wanted?A ^Miller, at High Shoals, Anderson County. 2* Pure Luke Ice.

Elect good men to all tho offices. Speak woll of its enterprising, public spirited citizens. If you aro rich, invest in somolhing; omploy somebody ; be a "rustlor." If you don't think of any good word to say, don't say anything bad about it. Remomber that every dollar you invest in a permanent improvement is that much on interest. Be courteous to strangers who come amongst you, so that they may go away with a good impressiou. Always cheer up tho men who go in for improvement. Your ;portion of the cost will bo only what is just. Don't kick about any necessary public improvement because it is not at your own door or for fear your taxes may be raisod fiftcon cents. Above all never spend a dollar out of town that you can uso for tho samo pur? pose in town. Buy your goods, employ labor, pay your taxes at home. An Important Discovery.

Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, 111., says: "Having recoived so much benefit from Electric Bitters, I feel it my duty to let suffering humanity know it. Have had a running sore on my leg for eight years; my doctors told me I would have to have the bone scraped or leg amputated. I used, instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters aud seven boxes Bucklen 's Arnica Salve, and my leg is now sound and well." Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cents a bottle, and Bucklcn's Arnica Salve at 25c. per box by Hill Bros. Ho for Georgia. I "have concluded to move back to Geor? gia somo time the coming Summer. In order to save trouble and expense of ship? ping my goods will close out the stock at lowest prices. It is needless to say at cost. People do not generally believe such statements, although reason would show them that it would be better for me to do that than to pay freight on heavy goods. Come and see what I can do for you on Grind Stones, Axes, Plows, Trace Chains, Hoes, Shovels, etc., etc. Come and see what I have aim the prices. Look out for my new advertisement next week. E. B.
