During the Firemen's Parade on Tues? day afternoon, Mr. William Wilson, of the Independent Company, severely . sprained an ankle by descending one of the ladders too rapidly. He had one of the fire extinguishers on his back,. which accelerated his descent. We are glad. to know that his injuries are not serious. Gen. G. A. Waahburn, of Aiken, was in the city last week adjusting the losses sustained by Mr. W. A. Geer by his re? cent fire. Mr. Geer was insured in the Connecticut Insurance Company, which is represented in this city by Mr. J. H. . vonBasslon. It took only a short time to adjust the losses, aud Mr. Geer was paid in full. Mrs. Caroline Hammond died at the ' ' residence of her son, Mr. R. Q. Hammond, in Hopewell township, last Tuesday. She had for many years been a great sufferer with cancer of the lace, which was the cause of her death. She was a most ex t cellent lady, and has many friends aud Wik relatives throughout the County who will Kbe pained to hear of her death. young negro man, residing on Capt. ifcV. Martin's plantation, in Broadaway ?Kship, was killed by lightning last btay afternoon. He was walking ?h a field with a grain cradle on his mt when the electric bolt struck jB^ing him instantly.

D., of New Orleans, will preach in the Presbyterian Church this (Thursday) evening, at S$ o'clock, in tho interest of tho seamen. Dr. "VVithorspoou is doing- a groat work iu "his. city amongthe sailors, and his services to-night will be very interesting. He is an able divine, and we hope he will be greeted' by a large audience. Everybody is cordially invited to attend. We'would urge upon tho City authori ' tlos the groat necessity at this tinio ofsoo ?ing to it that all the premises in the city are cleaned and put in good order. Everything that conduces to siokness should be removed as far as possible. We have a law on the subject, and the health of the community demands that it should be strictly enforced. Its impor? tance cannot be over-estimated. Abbeville Medium: "The new Little River Baptist Church was dedicated with appropriate ceremonies last Sabbath. Revs. J. Scott Murray, R. N. Pratt and J. C. Furman took part in the exercises. Rev- Dr. Furman preached the sermon. The Little River Church was organized in 1791 and has flourished ever since- It now has a large membership. The new building is largo and commodious. It is handsomely finished and painted." The enterprising firm of Bleckley, Brown & Fretwell have purchased the entire stock of J. M. McConnell & Co. from the Assignee, F. C. Whitner, Esq., for spot cash. The stock embraces large and beautiful lines of dry goods, hats, shoes, &c, and was sold at a great sacri? fice. In their advertisement next week they will announce all their special drives In the meantime it will no doubt be very advantageous for the trading public to call in and look at the bargains that are offered. The guage of the C. & 6. R. R. and branches was changed last Tuesday. Mr. T. C. McDowell, the boss of the seetion that extends from the city to Six-and Twenty trestle, began work Monday after? noon, at 5 o'clock. He had his regular force of hands, seven in number, and in three hours and forty minutes had com? pleted his task, a distance of three miles. It was a quick piece of work and reflects credit upon Mr. McDowell, who is one of the most efficient section masters on tbe Road. Mr. James R. Tribble, eldest son of Rev, It. W. Tribble, died at his father's resi? dence, near this city, last Friday night, after an illness of about two weeks from dysentery. Mr. Tribble was about eigh? teen years of age, and a most worthy young man in every respect. Among his associates he was universally esteemed. He was an obedient son and a kind and affectionate brother. He was a member of the Baptist Church for several years. He bore his illness without a murmur, and passed away fully prepared to enter a brighter world. His remains were in? terred in .the graveyard at Barker's Creek Churchy near Honea Path, on Saturday, Rev. T. P. Bell conducting the funeral services. The afflicted parents have the deepest sympathy ' of many friends in their bereavement. A lady reader sends us the following recipe for dysentery or flux. She says she has never known it to fail. As this disease is very prevalent, we publish it for the benefit of those who may be afflicted: "Take a half dozen tops of bog weed, about seven inches long. Put them in a vessel and cover with water, and let it boil until the strength is .boiled out of the weeds. Then take the weed out and boil the tea down to a half teacup full. To this add the same quantity of sweet niilk, and let it boil a few moments. While boiling, if a little spice is added it will be'more pleasant to the taste. Also add a little blackberry wine, if you have it.: It may be drank either warm or cold. Take a little at a time until relieved. Then take castor oil or pills. Use light diet. Do not take any nourishment made of corn meaL" Anderson County has lost another' true cltiaon in the death of Mr. D.' C. Howard, which occurred at his residence, near Cross Roads Church, last Tuesday morn? ing, about 5 o'clock. Mr. Howard had besn afflicted with cancer of the face for the past twelve years, but until a few months ago was able to look after his farming interests with bis usual activity. His sufferings for several months past were intense, but he bore them with Christian patience. He was a most pleas? ant gentleman, quiet and unobtrusive, and was highly esteemed by his acquaint? ances. His death causes the Intelligen? cer to. lose a warm friend, for he has been a reader of It ever since its existence. For forty years or more Mr. Howard has been an active and zealous member of Bethesda Methodist Church. On the 21st of June Tie reached the sixty-seventh year of his age. His remains were in? terred in the graveyard at Cross Roads Church on Wednesday. He leaves a de? voted wife to mourn his death. Col. Clinkscalea is patting forth every effort to make the County Teachers' In? stitute, which begins its session in this city next Monday, a most interesting and profitable occasion. Dr. Carlisle, of Spar tanburg, will be present next Wednesday, and will deliver two lectures. Dr. Manly, of Greenville, has also promised to be present one day during the session. Every teacher in the County should be present, even if they have to make a sac? rifice to do so. The Institute will certain? ly result in lasting good both to the schools and the teachers. It will create fresh inspiration, new zeal and a livelier interest in the cause of education, and the teacher who stays from its sessions will miss a golden opportunity for his or her own improvement. Col. Clinkscales ex? tends a cordial invitation to the people, old and young, of the city and surround? ing country to attend tbe sessions of the Institute, and we hope they will do so. The exercises throughout will be very in? teresting. A Venerable Citizen Returns to the- Scene of his Former Usefulness. The Aiken Recorder of the 22nd ult., says: "During our visit to Graniteville on Wednesday last, we had the pleasure of meeting Mr. B. C. Hard, the predecessor of the late Capt. J. H. Giles in the Sec? retaryship of the Graniteville Factory. He is a venerable gentleman between 70 and 80 years of age, apparently in the en? joyment of vigorous health, and is now farming near Williamston in Anderson County. He is affectionately remembered by many of the old citizens of Granite? ville, but with the exception of Mrs. 8. Cadle, be is the only one left of tbe older inhabitants. When be resigned his posi? tion he was presented by the Board of Directors with a handsome silver service accompanied by resolutions expressing their appreciation of bis faithful and valuable services, and regretting the sever? ance of his connection with the company. He is the father of our esteemed friends, Benj. H. Hard, of Graniteville, and Jas. W. Hard of Aiken, besides several other sons who are useful citizens in different parts of the State. Our best wishes at? tend this fine specimen of a Carolina gen? tleman, and we hope many years of use? fulness are yet in store for him. He is visiting his son Mr. B. W. Hard. Fine Art?Portrait Painting. We are glad to announce tho presence in our city of Mr. Jas. P. Field, the popular Portrait Painter of Savannah. Mr. Field will be in the city for a short while, and asks the public to examine his work and give hirh a part of their patronage. He can be found at the residence of Gen.L. M. Ayer. Anderson's Fire Department, The first annual parade of the Anderson Fire Department came off on last Tues? day afternoon, and was wilnussod by a largo concourse of ladies and gentlemen from the city and surrounding country. Despite unfavorable weather, the parade was a great success. At half-past two o'clock tho Companies and the parties to jpin .in the procession filed out aipleasure and formed on Main street, in front of Mr. C. A. Rood's residonco, whero command of the organization was taken by Chief of the Department, Dr. R. F. Divver, and Assistant Chief, Capt. John O'Donnell, the commanding officers of the Depart? ment. The procession was formed with the police in front, all of them being mounted on superb iron-grey horses. Thon came the Young America Cornet Baud in the band wagon. Next followed Mayor Tolly, ex-Mayor Maxwell, Secretary Cathcart, the Alder? men of tho city and other leading citizens in carriages. Then followed the Independent Hook and Ladder Company, with their Truck beautifully decorated with handsome floral designs, among which Leize, the pretty little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Sharpe, four years of age, was seat? ed like a fairy. This Company, under tho command of Capt. Q. M. Tolly, pre? sented a handsome appearance in their bright; red jackets and white pants. They were followed by tho Pioneer Steamer Company, under command of Capt. James M. Payne. The engine and hose reel were also elaborately and% hand? somely decorated with a profusion of beautiful wreaths and flowers. The Com? pany woro out in full force and presented as fino an appearance as we have ever seen presented by any fire company. The Rough and Ready Hand Engine and Reel followed, under command of its Captain, Lawrence Jones, colored, and was, like the others, beautifully decorated with flowers. Four little colored boys rode on the engine, one of them carrying a banner inscribed, "Tap the boll and we'll be there." The procession moved down Main street through the Square, down Depot and along McDuffie street, presenting as hand? some a pageant as we have ever witnessed in any firemen's parade, but its progress was suddenly cut short by a heavy rain, which drove them to shelters. After a down pour of about one hour, the weathor cleared and the Firemen, undaunted, re? assembled for the completion of the pro? gramme. The engines were arranged in line upon the Western side of the Square, and Dr. Divver, accompanied by Assistant Chief O'Donnell and Secretary Cathcart, an? nounced the Department ready for inspec? tion, whereupon Mayor Tolly, Ex-Mayor Maxwell and Aldermen Mauldin and Fant, accompanied by the officers of the Department, passed up the front and dotvn the rear of the line, and assuming position in front again, the officers of the Companies were marched out to them and Mayor Tolly made them a short speechi expressing gratification at the appearance of the Department, and his appreciation of the services they have rendered in the past and his confidence in them for the futuie. Ho complimented the former Council for originating the Department, which has beon perfected by tho present Council, and closed by a tribute to the members of tho Department. His speech was loudly applauded. Tbe Companies then returned to their Engine-houses, and at the ringing of the bell ran to the square in a contest to see which Company could get to tbe cistern and throw water first. The Pioneers reached the cistern first, but the Rough and Ready threw the first stream of wa? ter. The Pioneers claim that they would have thrown the first stream of water in the contest but for the misunderstanding of the [Engineer. The work done by these engine!) was frequently applauded in the most vociferous manner. Both compa? nies threw high streams of water, and showed, that they could put water over the top of any building in the City. Sev? eral times the Pioneer Engine threw two stream:], and each of them were thrown to the top of the Court House steeple. The streams from the engines at times made j;reat merriment by being thrown in the crowd. The Independents also made a most creditable exhibition. They displayed a facility and daring in scaling tbe ladders, and a rapidity which it would be hard to excel. They also piled a num? ber of boxes saturated with kerosene oil, and when fully ablaze, put them out almost instantly with their fire extin? guishes, showing that they would be a most valuable assistant to the engines. The Independents are athletic young men who will do dangerous work without hesitation if occasion arises. This notice would be altogether incom? plete IS we did not mention the pleasure afforded by the excellent music discoursed by the Young America Cornet Band, which was enjoyed during the march and at in? tervals of the drill. The first annual parade has far excelled our highest expectations, and we congrat? ulate the officers and men of the Depart? ment upon their magnificent display. The people of Anderson may rest assured that the Department cannot bo excelled by any other Department of equal size. Williamston Correspondence. Mn. Editor : Our quiet little town has been very much revived by a series of religious services, engaged in heartily ;by tbe three churches. The most remarka? ble revival of religion that, has ever oc? curred in the history of the town. It began in the Baptist Church, under the pastoral care of Mr. Hiott, and the second week was moved to the Methodist Church, attended this year by Mr. Betts; at the end of that time, the Presbyterian doors were opened, in chargo of Mr. Steward and in every one our Heavenly Father poured out His holy spirit, filling the hearts of Christian people, and bringing to light many who had never knowu their God. All classes have been benefit? ed by these meetings. The colored peo? ple anticipate a similar meeting among their churches. Williamston ought to be a pious little town; our churches are blessed with very able and zealous ministers, together with other working "men of God," who are spending their lives in working for the happiness and good of their neighbors. Our Female College, in the care of Dr. Lander, not only participated heartily in the meetings, 'iut was graciously blessed in the conversion of fifteen souls among the large number of the modest, refined and wo'll-behaved College girls. May the Lord so bless him and his noble institu? tion more and more each year, that their good influence will be felt even hundreds of miles away from our little village nes teled among the hills, 'Tis a blessing from tho Lord to all who are so fortunate as ;to have their lots cast near this institution, and many of our good citizens realizo it in everj^ sense of the word. One feature of our town worthy of men? tion is the young men's prayer meeting, which meets every Thursday night. If they continue to grow in interest, zeal, spirit aud energy as they have been all this year, none can tell tho good they will accomplish, and even the good they have already accomplished. Tho doors ?are opened at these meetings to all the citi? zens of our town, and no matter how large the audience, the young and modest youth, every one at his turn, with a firm and steady purpose, takes his stand with the open Bible in hand and conducts the meeting in an humble, true spirit, thereby seuding up from many Christian hearts a thankfulness to God for giving to Wil? liamston such young men as any larger placo would be proud to claim. Our Baptist Chrtrch was ehocrod on its way the last fifth Sabbath by a collection of our friends attending a Union Meeting, which convened in our midst. It was a foast to our souls to hear Drs. Bailey and Griffith on their mission work. Would be pleased for our friends to take the same notion and give us another Union Meot ing at an early day. Williamston was made sad a few days ago by the death of little Victor Mahon. Iiis liltlo spirit look its flight to thoso beautiful "mansions on high not made with hands, eternal in tho Heavens." One more jewel gono from us, and now beckons us o'er the;way. There'.are lights in the window for us all, yes, lights in the window. A. P. N. Felzer Correspondence. Mb. Editor : We thought that a few dots from this side of the County would be of interest to some of your readora. Pelzer is a lively little village of about 1200 inhabitants, and the increase in the capacity of the mill (work on which is now in progress) will swell her numbers to perhaps 1G0O or 2,000. All of these people know their business and are doing it. The conveniences of our little village are many and varied. We have the privilege of hearing the Gospel, as it is taught and believed by four religious denominations, twice on every Sabbath, and that, too, in perhaps the finest Church building (in a village of this size) in the State, It was\ erected at a cost of $5,000, and given as a present for the use of the various denomi? nations, by Mrs. P. J. Pelzer, of Charleston It is a grand monument that will be left to commemorate the memory of this noble, Christian-hearted woman. May the good that is being accomplished by this noble act of kindness add more lustre to that crown of glory that awaits her beyond tho river. Our Sunday 3chool, under the im? mediate supervision of Mr. W. E. Owens, is in a nourishing condition, and a model of excellence. A day school is also in progress aud will be opened free of charge for ten months, free not only to the employees of the Pelzer Mfg. Co., but to the people of the surround? ing couutry. The place is entirely free from any mala? ria that usually exists on water courses, and other local causes that would dis? turb our sanitary condition. We are being visited now, however, by measles, which have been with us for several months. Not many deaths have resulted from them, owing perhaps to the shrewd management of our very efficient; President, Capt. E, A. Smythe, who used every precaution against their being spread during tbe Winter months when they proved so fatal to our neighbor? ing village, Piedmont. We are also fortu? nate in having skillful physicians to attend our sick, having the choice of tbe valuable services of Drs. S. J. McElroy P. A. Perrclt, G. F. Jenkins, C. E. Wideman, or J. T Johnson. With such able physicians it would seem almost impossible to die, unless it was the predestined time for us to go. We enjoy many blessings of which we ought to bo grateful, and when we see how willingly the six or seven hundred opera? tives perform their daily task, and know that they have plenty at home and to spare, we are forced to the conclusion that this company js doing much for the poor people of Anderson and adjoining Counties. We often wonder why more poor people, who are ekeing out a miserable existence on some worn out rented farm, do not go to some cotton mill and make a respectable living. Perhaps it is on account of a very erroneous but popular opinion that no other than the lowest classes of humanity ever go to a factory. A moro mistaken idea never entered the public mind. While there are somo here who will bear the ad? jectives low, degrading and mean,-there are others who have as high sense of honor and principles of integrity as anywhere. For fear of trespassing on your valuable space we will close. Employee. ' Belton, S. C, June 28. Mb. Editor : With each edition of our papers there are new announcements of persons desiring office. Such being true, it is to be supposed that we are passing judg? ment upon them as they appear. To an alarming extent there seems to prevail an idea that only persons represent? ing certain pursuits shall be chosen. It is of this prevalent and, we believe, hazar? dous opinion we desire most particularly to make mention. In the list of candidates presented we want to select honest, conscientious, sober men?men of energy, influence and strong ability. We must not be influenced be? cause a man is a lawyer, farmer, mechanic or merchant, but because he possesses the qualifications so necessary to the successful discharge of the duties of the office to which he aspires. We know a vast num? ber of men, who, in the common accept? ance of the term, are "good men" ; men whom we admire and revorence, but whose mental capacities unfit them to be legisla- { tors and whose inadequacy to influence our rulers would render them almost valueless to us. Again, we complain of high taxes. How are they to be reduced ? Do you say by the extinction of useless offices ? Admitting there are a few offices that may be abolish? ed, this will not meet the clamor for low taxes. Our State debt must be refunded in the next term of our Senators and Repre? sentatives. We are paying an annual In? terest of about $390,000, whereas, by wise and prudent legislation, we believe our bonds will'readily be taken at 4 per cent., making an annual interest of $260,000, thus saving the State each year $130,000. These are facts briefly stated, and speak for themselves- Let us haye such luental and such financial ability to represent us as shall inspire confidence in our money holders that our bonds may be readily floated at 4 per cent, or less. Then will beneficial results not only have accrued to Anderson County, but our grand old State will have received an impetus that will end in the achievement of greater and grander results. Young Man. Mr. Editor : Tho Teachers' Column is already printed. Permit me to make an announcement on your side. Dr. Carlisle, of Spartanburg, will at? tend1 the Normal one day next week, Wednesday, July 7tb, and will deliver two lectures on subjects pertinent to the occasion. He will lecture in the forenoon, and again in the afternoon, or evening. All persons interested in the cause of edu? cation are invited to bo present, and those not interested are especially invited and urged to come out and hear these lectures. Dr. Manly, of Greenville, has promised to lecture for us some time during the session?definite arrangements will be made with him and due notice giv?n. We do hope that the progressive people, male and female, old and young, in Anderson and tho surrounding country will encourage ue and stimulate our teachers by turning out to hear these dis? tinguished educators. The future of any town or county may be road in the inter? est it manifests in the strides that are be? ing made in the art of teaching. Respectfully, J. G.
