And yet there is now and then a man who wonders what the rest of us will do when he dies. There are peoplo in "society" who honest? ly think that all the world closes its eyes when their set lies down to sleep. There are men who fear to act according to their own convictions, because perhaps ten persons in a crowd of 1,400,000,000 will laugh at them. Why, if a man could only realize every moment what a .bust? ling, busy, fussy, important little atom he is in all this great ant hill of important, fussy little atoms, every day he would re? gard himself less. While going through his orchard a few days ago, Mr. Columbus Wardlaw came across a peach tree limb on which an old bat with two young ones were suspended. He cut the limb off, and, with the bats hanging to it, brought it down town, where it was viewed as a curiosity by a cumber of persons. Many persons sup? posed that bats hatched their young from eggs, but such is not the case. Thoy be? long to' the class of mammals, and are nourished just like animals. They have a skin like a mouse, which they much re? semble but for their wings. The bats are still hanging to the limb'upon which Mr. Wardlaw brought them to town. As soon as night approaches, the old bat leaves the little ones suspended from the limb and flies around the room, but soon returns to them. The eyes of the young ones appa? rently have never been opened. The old one displays considerable affection for them. The question has been asked: Is the bat of the bird or animal species ? It must be a link between the two. Circuit Court. The Court of General Sessions for An? derson County convened on last Monday, his Honor Judge J. B. Kershaw, pre? siding, and Solicitor Orr representing the State. His Honor in charging the Grand Jury was brief, stating that they had already been fully instrncted in their duties. The Court proceeded rapidly with the business of the term, and the following defendants in each case plead guilty of carrying concealed weapons and were each sentenced to three months imprisonment in the County jail or to pay a fine of thirty dollars as follows: Warren Davis, John Murphy, Wade Sloan aud Brooks Crocker. . Warren Davis was convicted of adulte? ry, and sentenced to six months in the penitentiary.. A true bill was found in the case of the State vs. Lizzie Madden and Maud Mad? den for arson, but on account of the youth of the prisoners and the insuffi? ciency of the evidence the Solicitor not prossed the case. The case of the State vs. Ann Dubose, for murder, was tried, and the prisoner ably defended by Messrs. W. H. Frierson and M. B. Clinkscales. A verdict of guilty was rendered, and the prisoner sen? tenced to be hung on Friday, the 27th of August. A- petition for commutation is being prepared, and the jury, we believe, recommended a mitigation of the sen? tence. The Court of General Sessions adjourn? ed on Wednesday morning, and the Court of Common Pleas is now in session. It will probably adjourn to-day. The Pickens Horror. Dr. P. A. Wilhite, who is a member of the State Board of Health, received a no? tice last Thursday from, the Executive Committee of the Board, requesting him to go to Pickens County and investigate the cause of the sickness and mortality in the family of Mr. Joseph Hardin, a brief account of which appeared in the Intelligence?, last week, copied from tho Columbia Register and Greenville News. Dr. Wilhite left the city Friday afternoon and roturned on Monday. Several ru? mors in reference to the cause of the deaths had been published, and, with a view of getting the truth of the matter, we sought Dr. Wilhite on Tuesday and asked him to tell us about the family and the cause of the deaths. The following are the main facts of what he related to us : "When I reached Pickens C. H. I pro? cured ihe services of two citizens and two physicians, one of whom was and had been attending the family, and immedi? ately proceeded to tho house of Mr. Har? din, who resides about four miles north of the town. When we reached the house we found a most deplorable state of affairs. Mr. Hardin lay on a bed in one corner of the room, a son, about 12 years of ago, on another bed, Mrs. Hardin on a quilt on the floor, and in two feet of her lay the corpse of a daughter. This was tho sixth death that had occurred iu the family in a few days' time. The atmosphere of the room was almost intolerable. The bed clothing had been soiled to that degree that a good portion of it had been thrown out into the yard. "Having beard the rumors about the well being poisoned, and that snakes and dead dogs had been found in it, I at once proceeded to examine it. After no little trouble, I succeeded in hiring a man to go down into the well and carefully ex? amine it. There was nothing in the well but pure, clear water, and of course this was not the cause of the sickness. "Mr. Hardin attended the U. S. Court at Charleston this Spring as a witness. He left that city on the day of the wash? outs on the railroad and was delayed at Alston for a day or two. While at Alston he was attacked with the dysentery, anil when he reached home ho was prostrated with the disease. Soon after reaching home his children, eight in number, who were just recovering irom the measles, were, one after another, stricken with the dysentery until all were down, ono not being able to minister to the wants or comforts of the other. Mrs. Hardin was also prostrated with the same disease. In this condition all of them lay in one room, which was about 18x20 feet square. There were only two beds in the room, and of CDtirso some of the family had to lie on the- floor. Three of the children died in a short time, and this alarmed the neigh? bors, who refused to. go near the house or assist in relieving the afflicted househ id, as it had been reported through the neigh? borhood that Mr. Hardin had returned from Charleston afflicted with cholera or some other terrible disease. As soon as the condition of the family reached the ears of the citizens of Pickens C. H., Mr. Boggs, editor of the Sentinel, and a few others visited the house, and, after doing all they possibly could do for the suffer? ers, made an effort to hire some one to stay with the family and wait on them, but their efforts were in vain. "Mr.' Hardin is a poor, hard-working man, but is honest, upright and respecta? ble. Before I left there, I had the family moved into an. old vacant house which stood near by. The stench where the sick lay was intolerable, and I knew that if t ley remained there not one would sur? vive. All of them were afflicted with a malignant case of dysentery, and, coming on them immediately after the measles, made it tenfold worse. My opinion is that the deaths were caused from neglect or the want of proper attention, though, it is possible, that the disease would have proved fatal even under the best treat? ment." "Had the family had any attention from a physician, doctor?" "Oh, yes; Dr. Bramlett, a young phy? sician residing in that section bad attend? ed the family, and had used every effort to relieve the sufferers, but could do noth? ing under the circumstances." "Have the citizens done nothing to re? lieve the family?" "Yes, the citizens of Pickens C. H. have gone to work to relievo the sufferings of the family, and will no doubt do every? thing possible for them." We regret that our limited space will not permit us to ,publish our interview in full with the Doctor. The above, however, is enough to show what a terrible condition the family were in. Dr. Wilbite is one of our oldest and most prominent physi? cians, and has been practicing medicine for years. He says he has never seen or heard of a family so badly afflicted. Pioneer Fire Company. A special meeting of the Pioneer Fire Company was held last Friday evening, and a motion adopted to disband the Com? pany immediately, which was done. The cause assigned for this action is the action of Chief Divver in not assigning them to the first position in the parade that is to take place next Tuesday. Some of the members claimed that as theirs was the oldest Company iu the city, thoy should have been given tho first place in the pa? rade. The motion to disband was op? posed by a minority of tho members. On Saturday morning a new Company was organized with about thirty members, a number of whom being those who had voted against disbanding tho old Compa? ny. The following officers were elected : President, Jas. M. Payne; Vice-Presi? dent, Joel C. Keys; Secretary and Treas? urer, Chas. D. Brown; 1st Director, W. H. B. McGruder; 2nd Director, Eugene Milford. All of these were officers of the former Company, except the two last, who were elected to the positions vacated by the disbanding of the Company. The new Company embraces a large portion of the best material of the old Company and has received some valuable new me m bers. The efficiency of the new Company is first-class, and it is a source of gratifi? cation IX) know that the Department has not been damaged by the re-organization. The parade will proceed without inter? ruption upon the programme arranged by the Chief of the Department. Manco Jolly. From the Athens, Qa., Banner. Many of our readers|remember "Manco*' Jolly, who operated in South Carolina and Georgia soon alter the war, and was a terror to those that wore the blue. Jol? ly bad a terrible account to settle with the yankees, and he paid the debt with in? terest. Five of his brothers had been killed during the war, and he swore that he would kill five yankees for each one of his brothers that were slain. After a truce was declared between Jolly and the yankees, he went to Texas and mar? ried. His father-in-law gave him a plan? tation on the opposite sido of the river, and Jolly commenced building a house, and would swim bis horse that he rode while on his many raids in Georgia over to where he was building. He was re? turning to his father-in-law's for dinner, and while about midway the stream, "Dixie," the name of Jolly's horse, gave out and they went down together, to rise no more. Jolly has a relation now living in Athens, who has given us some inter? esting accounts of his hair-breadth escapes. Mance Jolly was a very restless fellow, and could see a yankee a mile off. His relative says he was in church with him once in Hart County, and all at once Jolly became very nervous and walked out of the church, closely followed by bis relation, who saw from Jolly's action that something was wrong. Glancing through the woods ho saw a regiment of negro soldiers coming through the woods. Jolly saw that it was too late for him to get his horse, as the black troops were nearly to where the animal was hitched, and they had begun firing at Jolly. He ran through the woods, the soldiers shoot? ing at him all the time. His mother was in the church and fainted when she heard the report of the guns. The soldiers, after capturing Jolly's horse, left and had not been gone many minutes before Jolly had called together a few of his followers, who were desperate men, and followed after the soldiers. Jolly's mother and the preacher all tried to stop him, but it was no use. His blood was up and he intended to pay them back for shooting at him and stealing his horse. They had a skirmish with the negro soldiers and sev? eral of them bit the dust. Nest morning Jolly rode into Anderson,;J3. C., and in? formed the commanding officer that un? less his horse was sent to his house the next day that he would kill him and five of his men. The officer knew the man he had to deal with and sent the horse to his house. Five thousand dollars was offered for Jolly, and squads of cavalry were continually scouring the country, but they always came back minus one or two of their men, who were marked "killed" on the muster roll. The horse, "Dixie," that he rode on all of his raids, was a thoroughbred racer, and it was foolishness for any common steed to try and catch him. The horse was well trained, and Jolly could make him come by a shrill whistle. The horse would not allow any one to approach him after dark except Jolly. If a stranger came near, he would get perfectly frantic and kick and bite as long as they were in reach. Mance Jolly has several relatives still living in Franklin and Elbert Counties. His history was written and published in Harper's Magazine, and is said to be very thrilling and interesting. Wants to Know What a Dude Xa. Toney Creek P. 0., S. C. Mr. Editor : As our school teacher is resting until the public schools open again, I can't find out what a Dude is; and as editors know a heap of things, I want you to tell me the meaning of the word or what a Dude is. The Calhoun correspondent of the Honea Path Plain dealer said we had a genuine live Dude in this section. Is it a man who wants office? or is it a widower who wants to marry ? or is it anything that will hurt people? If it will hurt folks, |I want to know it, as my wife has some relations that wander about considerably, and she does not want them hurt or scared. Times and fashion change so often that I am in tho dark about some things. When I was a boy we had parties ; when I was a young man the name was changed to dances, but now they are called socia? bles. And now they have something they call a Dude. If yon can inform us what it is, please do so, for 3'ou can see from the way I write that I am Ignorant. [We can't give our friend the true defi? nition of the word "Dude," as it has not yet been given a place in Webster's dic? tionary. The term, however, is applied to a sniart(?), dandy young man, who imagines all the girls are in love with him, and who thinks the position of his cravat,'the "set" of his pants or the neat? ness 0* nis hair more important than anything else in the world.?Local Ed.] Grand Jury's Presentment. To the Honorable X B, Kershaw, Presiding Judge of the Eighth Judicial Circuit, at An? derson, S. C: The Grand Jury at this the second Term of their service, beg leave to submit the following report: That the Committee appointed at the last term of th ?ourt to investigate the records of the var. .us County officials and their bonds, have performed that duty, and report that they found all the County oirices well kept and the official bonds given by those of whom bonds are required good and sufficient. We have also during this Term, by a Committee of our number, visited the Poor House and County Jail and find them prop? erly kept. The following Trial Justices have sub? mitted their Dockets for inspection:-J. C. C. Featherston, W. F. Cox, B. F. Shirley, J. A. Major, R. B. A. Robinson. Larkin Newton, S. A. Brown, J. D. Sitton, J. L. Bryan, Jeptha Watkins, W. H. D. Gaillard, W. F. M. Fant, S. P. T?te, A. E. Scudday and W. E. Walters. We find that two of these, to-wit: J. C. C. Featherston and W. F. Cox, take the receipt of the County Treasurer for fines upon their criminal Dockets, so that the Docket shows the com? plete transactionsin each case. The others, it appears, have been accustomed to taking loose receipts from the County Treasurer for all fines paid over, some making a note of said payments on their dockets, and some making no memorandum thereof at all. As it is very inconvenient for the Grand Jury to look over loose receipts, we recommend all the Trial Justices in the County take the receipt of the County Treasurer for fines paid over on their criminal Docket. We further recommend that the Trial Justices who have failed to submit their books for inspection at this Term of the Court be required to do so at the next term. The road leading .from Evergreen to Dooley's Ferry has been reported to us as having been neglected, aud we recommend that the County Commissioners investigate the matter and take such action in the premises as they may think best. In our last general presentment we called the attention of the Court to the rice ponds on Big and Little Beaverdam Creeks, in Hopewell Township, and recommended that the obstructions in said streams for overflowing the lands be removed. We are informed that while some of the ob? structions have been removed, that there are still obstructions at some points, and others are preparing to cultivate rice in the low lands by erecting embankments for the purpose of retaining the rains and pre? venting the natural flow of the water. We recommend that the Solicitor take such steps as he may think necessary to improve the sanitary condition of that neighbor? hood. We further recommend that the County Commissioners enforce strictly the law requiring all landowers to remove all trash and timber from their streams. In conclusion, we return our thanks to his Honor, the Judge, to the Solicitor and other officers of the Court for courtesies shown during the Term of the Court. Respectfnlly submitted, C. B.

Many suffering people drag themselves about with failing strength, feeling that they are steadily sinking into the grave, ? when by using Parker's Tonic they would find a cure commencing with the first dose,,and vitality and strength surely coming back to them. "I am G3 years old; have been sick nearly all my life, and ought to know something about medicine by this time. I have,used Parkers's Tonic freely for more than a year, and consider it the best remedy I have ever known. In fact, I now find no other medicine necessary. For weakness, debility, rheumatism, and that distressing all-goneness and pain from which I suffered so long, it has no equal. I do not see how any one can afford to do without so valuable a medi? cine."?Mrs. Hattie N. Graves, cor. East and Front streets, Providence, R. I. Parker's Tonic. [Prepared by Hiscox <fc Co., N.

It is an un? pardonable error for a humorist to be rich. He ought to live in a garret, like James Triplett, be the happy possessor of one threadbare coat, and shoes that let the water in. But even under these direful circum? stances, 25 cents would purchase him a Pomeroy's Petroline Poroused Plaster, which would most effectually protect him from that most painful of all complaints.
