Otherwise the house was not damaged. Died, at his home, four miles south of Pendletori, June 29th, Mr. Preston Black mon, after a painful illness of several months. He was buried at Sandy Springs on the 30th ult, after appropriate funeral services conducted" hy Rev. J. Walter .Daniel. He leaves a wife and three Bin all children. He was a consistent member of the Methodist Church. Anderson is to have a new postoffice building, but not by an appropriation ftom ?'Uncle Sam's" treasury. Mrs. J. H. vonHasseln has given out the contract for the erection of the building on Whit ner street, just below the Auditor's office and directly opposite the Intelligencer building. The building is to be of brick, 25 feet wide and 40 feet long, and is to be fitted up in modern style. We are requested to announce that there will be a meeting of the ministers of the Baptist Church residing within the limits of the Saluda and Bethel Associa? tions at Walnut Grove Churoh on Friday, l?th inst., during the meeting of the Sa Inda Sunday School Institute, for. the pur? pose of organizing a Ministers' Institute.

Elrod, in Broadway Township, last Sunday after? noon. From what wo can-learn, it seems that Elrod-was on a visit to a friend's .house, when White and Hanks rode up,' called him-out and attacked him. During the row Elrod fired bis pistol, but neither "one of his adversaries-were hit. Elrod was slightly hurt., The parties had been on ill terms for some time past We had a pleasant call on Wednesday morning from our young friend Elliott Keith, who, after an absence of soven years, is in the city visiting his mother and otner relatives. Mr. Keith is now a 'resident of Durham, N. C, where he has a position with the great Blackwell To? bacco.. Company. In a conversation he gave us- 'an- interesting account of. the manufacture of tobacco, and also present? ed us with some samples of cigarettes and fine cut tobacco made, by the Company. He informed us that Blackwell recently sold his trade-mark and interest in the factory to three gentlemen for ?250,000. Mr. Keith is a native of Anderson, and his visit to his old home will no doubt be very pleasant. r The Anderson County Teacher's Insti? tuts met in the University building on last Monday, and is now. progressing with increasing interest. Fifty-one teachers are prssent, and the ? exercises are of di? versified interest The teachers aro en? thused .with their-work, and are enjoy iDg the opportunity of exchanging views With each other. At 12 o'clock on Wednesday, the 7th inst, Prof. J. H. Car? lisle. L;L. D., of Wofford College, deliv? ered one of his able and interesting ad? dresses before the Institute. The exer? cises will continue throughout the week and be more fully reported in" the. Teach? er's Coiomh.next week. We are request? ed here, however,, to announce that Rev. Charles Manly, D. D., of Furman Univer? sity, will address the Institute on (Fri? day) to-morrow, at 12 o'clock. The Insti? tute Is again, a success, and Col. Clink scales, the efficient School Commissioner, is to be congratulated upon its manage? ment - _ Death of a Worthy Young Man.' The old familiar saying, "Death loves a shining mark," was never more truly verified than on last Tuesday morning, when the news spread rapidly over the city that the spirit of our young friend and fellow- towns man, Wilbur H. Sadler, had on the preceding night taken its flight to that mysterious world from whence no traveler ever returns. Mr. Sadler was prostrated about four weeks ago with nervous fever, which kept him confined to his room until about ten days ago, when he had recovered sufficiently to walk out upon the streets, and his friends were hopeful that he would soon regain his usual health. He was again stricken down On last Thursday with the fever, and from that time gradually grew worse until he passed away. Mr. Sadler had been a resident of Anderson about two years, during which time he was engaged as a salesman in the drugstore of Messrs. Hill Bros. It was our privilege and pleasure to be intimately acquainted with the deceased, and we can say nnfeiguedly that we never knew, a more noble, generous, kind-heart? ed young man. He possessed all those virtues that are worthy of admiration, and made a friend of every one with whom he became acquainted. He was genial,, manly and true, and treated all who came within his circle of acquaint? ance jwith the same uniform courtesy. He was just entering manhood, having attained hia 20th birthday a few days ago. It is indeed sad to see one with such a bright future cut down just as the mantle of manhood was being thrown around him. To him life's sun has set. For him life's cares are ended. Since early youth he had been a faithful member of the Methodist Church, and it may be truly said that he lived up to his profession. His remains were interred in the Pres? byterian cemetery Tuesday afternoon, after appropriate funeral services, con? ducted by Rev. J. W. W?lling, in the presence of a large concourse of sorrow? ing friends. The grief-stricken family have the deepest sympathy of our whole city in their bereavement. Wilbur has gone, but his memory will long be cherished by a host of friends. The County Democracy. The County Democratic Convention con? vened in the Court House last Monday ac? cording to previous announcement We deem it unnecessary to give a Teport of the Convention, as the Secretaries have fur? nished us with an official copy of the pro? ceedings. The body was very harmonious throughout, and dispatched its business with rapidity. Tho proceedings were re? markably free from speech-making. We presume the candidates deemed it best to save their wind for the stump in the Coun? ty canvass. Col. E. B. Murray, who hasf so faithfully managed the interests of the party in this County for the past eight years, was unanimously re-elected County Chairman, thus paying him a deserving compliment for his w.orth and zeal as a party manager. The action of the Con? vention in endorsing Hon. R. W. Simpson as a suitable candidate to represent the Third Congressional District in the Na? tional Congress was a deserving and fitting tribute to one of Anderson's most noble sons. If elected, he will ably represent the District In recommending the name of our worthy citizen, Gen. W. W. Hum? phreys, to the State Convention for the po? sition of Secretary of State, the Convention did another good deed. He is in every way eminently qualified for the position, which he would fill with honor and credit to him? self and to the State. Although the ban? ner Democratic County in the State?the first to lead in-the grand movemont that wrenched the State from the hand of tho carpet-bag-negro despoilers in 187G?Ander? son has never before asked for a position on the State ticket, and wo think it only rea? sonable that she should now have recogni? tion. Hon. J. N. Lipscomb, of Newberry, honored the Convention with his presence, and was invited to a seat upon the floor. He was invited to address the Convention after it had transacted its businoss and responded in a few remarks, thanking the Convention for the compliment paid him, and saying, that he could testify to all that had been said in reference to Hon. R. W. Simpson. He said he did not expect an endorsement from Anderson County, but hoped that, if the delegation to the Con? gressional Convention should be forced to withdraw Mr. Simpson's name, he would not be forgotten, if his name was still before that Convention. His remarks were well xeceived and liberally applauded. From tho tenor of tho Convention, it is safe to say that Anderson County will do her full share of the work in the approach? ing campaign. Death of Bev. B. F. Mauldin. Rev. B. F. Mauldin died at the residence of his son, Mr. B. Frank Mauldin, in this city, on Sunday afternoon,, the 4th day of July inst., after an illness of two weeks. Mr. Mauldin- had been in feeble health for several months past, but did not give up his work as agent of the Columbia & Greenville Railroad Company at William? ston until two weeks before his death. One week after his health precluded him from discharging his usual duties, he came to Anderson in the hope that a change would be beneficial, but grew rapidly worse, despite the attention of devoted relatives . and skilled physicians, until his death. Mr. Mauldin was born in Fickcns Coun? ty on June 3rd, 1814, and was--therefore up? wards of seventy-two years old. At the age, of 16 while attending school in Green? ville, he joined the Baptist Church there, and was baptized by the Rev. Sandford Vandiver. He .was ever afterwards a con? sistent, faithful and working Christian, whose pure life commanded the admira? tion and love of all who knew him. On leaving school he clerked in the store of his brother, Samuel. Mauldin, in Greenville, and afterwards obtained a situation in Hambarg, where he remained until he was 19 ) oars old, at which time his services were engaged by the old house of G. L. Penn in Edgefield. He remained there until twenty-one years old, at which time two partnerships were offered him in busi? ness. One with Mr. Penn, and the other with his brother in Greenville. He accept? ed the latter and lived in Greenville until 1838, when he moved to Anderson and established a business, into which he took his brother, Lawrence Mauldin, as a partner. Upon the death of his partner he sold his Anderson business to his clerk and nephew, Hon. B. F. Cray ton, and removed in 1841 to Calhouu in this County, where he farm? ed and merchandised. In 1845 he entered the minlatry, and supplied several churches in the surrounding country. Mr. Mauldin was one of the first Missionary Baptists in the Saluda Association, and contributed liberally of his means and .his labors to the missionary work in the missionary society which was formed in connection with the Association, but finally carried the whole Association with it.' In 1854 he left Cal houn and removed to Williamston to edu? cate his children. He merchandised here, also, putting h? son Mr. William Mauldin now of IIa i up ton, principally in charge of the business. He was chiefly instrumental in' founding and building the Williamston Baptist Church, and was its pastor until the close of the war. He was also clerk of the Saluda Association for many years. Mr. Mauldin was elected one of the del-, egates from this County to the Secession Convention in 1860, and voted for the ordinance of Secession. He was never a politician, and held no other public office than this. At the beginning of the war Mr. Maul? din had accumulated by his financial skill a handsome property, hut the bulk of it was swept away by the results of the war, and at its close he found it necessary to give up the active work of the ministry in order to maintain and educate his family, which was large and dependent upon his income for a support He accepted the position of pay-master and inspector of timber upon the C. & G. R. R.. and served there until his health failed, after which he accepted i;he agency of the road at Williamston. He never, however, lowered the standard of his religious life, and on one occasion when ordered to do some work on Sunday, declined to obey, saying he would rather resign his office than vio? late the Sabbath. He had no trouble, however, with the road about it. Mr. Mauldin was a kind, affable and in? telligent gentleman, whose life was a strik? ing example of Christian purity and worth. His remains were interred in the Presbyterian .Cemetery in Anderson on Monday .afternoon, the Rev. T. P. Bell conducting a beautif.il'and solemn funeral service, which was attended by a large crowd of the friends and acquaintances of the deceased. i Wllllamston Correspondence. And still it rains, as it has .been doing all the summer. Occasionally the sun peeps out, mingling hia soft rays with the floating clouds. The weather has been delightfully cool so far, and our climate in this mountainous belt is just splendid. Vegetation Is doing its best; indeed, the grass is running away with the crops. Our busy farmers are all push, push, push for dear life, many expressing but little hope for the cotton crop. Small grain has not come up to their expecta? tions. How prone we are to want more than ''food and raiment," forgetting that we aro commanded "therewith be con? tent." Our little town and surrounding coun? try has not suffered as much as usual from sickness this Summer, and have had but few deaths. Pelzer has buried several of its people from measles and dysentery. However, they are moving along busily in that neat, healthy-looking town, with its numerous rows of oosy cottages run? ning "over the hills and far away" up the banks of old Saluda. The spirit of ener? gy, industry, peace, happiness and pros? perity is the motto carried out in Pelzer, and it really gives life and vim to the drooping soul of a weary traveler as he passes through this new town, looking and thinking what man and money can do, and how much our Heavenly Father has blessed us over in this little corner of Anderson. We are having an abundance of fruit and vegetables. Now if our ladies just had enough "yankee" in them to preserve these things for winter use, how nice and comfortable us poor fellows would feel luzurating in such diet during the cold winter months ? One of the fair sex was ' iind enough to give me her experience In canning and preserving. She says many ladies think they are obliged to have air tight glass jars, but she has known bush? els of apples and peaches cooked and put into our common stone jars. Cook the apples well in little water, heat the jar well before filling it, then paste over the top several plies of paper and cloth, until it is air tight, and you can eat fresh apple pies the entire winter and spring. Green snap beans can be kept the same as cab? bage through the winter and spring. Cook your beans and put them into a sack, hang it up, allowing all the water to drip, put into your jars or barrel, first beans then a little salt, until it is full, press down, being careful to keep the beans under Ibc salty water all tbe time. By soaking them over night, you can eat fresh green beans all the winter through. Some think tho}' aro oven better than they are in tho summer. It is always best to put up such things as lato in the Tall as your fruits and vegetables will allow. Wo are happy to seo our j'oung friend, Willie Sullivan, who was so seriously afflicted a fow weeks since, restored to his natural self onco more- Willio was a dilligent student in the Williamston school, and we hope to welcome him back into our midst. Seeing soveral of our young people start off to the Due West Commencement, car? ries us hack to the past. Stored away in lasting memory lingers the pleasant im? pressions received from our first visits to Due West. Our friend and neighbor, Mr. George Sullivan, accompanied by his fam? ily, also went to meet their numerous friends and enjoy tho exercises of the week. Hope they will have a pleasant trip. Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Ford, two success? ful merchants in Pelzer, have improved their beautiful homes in Williamston. A. P. N. An Interesting Occasion. Ma. Editor : On Thursday night last Dr. A. J. Wither3poon, by previous ap? pointment, delivered an address in the Presbyterian Church in Anderson on the subject of our obligations to seamen. Dr. Witherspoon is Chaplain to the Seamen' a Bethel in N,ew Orleans, and from a long experience iu the' details of that work brought out an amount and variety of in? formation that was both new and deeply interesting. There are, it is supposed, 3,000,000 of men who "do business in the great waters," and who are constantly exposed to the deep. The world is indebted to these hardy, generous, brave sons of toil; sci? ence, civilizations and governments are in? debted to them. The luxuries of our inU rior communities, as well of our seaports, are duo to them. No class of men more readily or more thoroughly appreciate the works of God, or more heartily respond to power of religion when it is presented to them. Yet no class of men have been so much overlooked. When tarrying in sea? ports without homes, without social en? couragement, without religious instruction, these honest, but generous men, easily be? come the victims of gambling rooms, and their hard earned wages are captured by those who "lie in wait" to destroy ; more exposed to sharks on land than to those in the sea. Being the carriers of civilization to all remote seaports, they are naturally fitted to bear the story of salvation when they are converted. No better missionaries than converted seamen. Hence the great obli? gation of all Christians to provide for them the blessing of religious instruction, and the necessarry adjunct of homes, hospitals and Bethels. Dr. Witherspoon has under his super? vision a "Home" providing comfortable ac? commodations for seamen at cheap rates of board, which is self-supporting; a Bethel where they enjoy regular preaching, a Hos? pital for their sick and a large reading room for their entertainment and informa? tion, and is travelling for the purpose of bringing this whole subject more fully to the attention of our Christian people. His addrdss was full of new, varied and deeply interesting information, and deliv? ered with the eloquence and impressive force of one long accustomed to wield the power of the influential speaker. The Dr. is a native South Carolinian, "to the man? or born," with a numerous kindred in his native State. Judge Witherspoon, who made so happy an impression in Anderson at the Spring term of Court, is his neph? ew. The widow of the late Dr. Thornwell, his sister; Mrs. Wardlaw, late of Walhalla, another sister; Mrs. Taylor, at Pendleton, a neicy, He was a fellow student of Major Broyles, our townsman, and their meeting and reminiscences were enjoyed exceeding? ly by the two gentlemen, and their parting was very tender. D. E. Fbierson. _ Pelzer Correspondence. There have been three deaths in the vil? lage during the last week, children of J. R. Hughey, Thomas Clark and J. P. Kerns, from the effects of measles and cholera infantum. There are other cases reported as being dangerously ill, but we hope the hand of death will be stayed, and that they, will be blessed with a speedy recovery. Capt. Smythe *as greatly improved the appearance of bis handsome residence, by having it nicely painted. Great taste was manifested in selecting the color, as it makes a beautiful contrast with the green foliage and surrounding scenery. Mr. Smyth e's family are on a visit to relatives living near Pendleton. We wish them much pleasure and hope they will return to their beautiful home feeling delighted with their trip. Mr. G. S. Coffin has resigned the position of Cashier of Chicora Savings Bank, which place he has filled with great satisfaction. His mantle will fall on worthy shoulders. Mr. A. L.Blake has been appointed Cashier. He is a worthy young man and wears his honors with becoming dignity. Mr. Gayden has finished the contract of raising the dam on the Greenville Bide of the river, and I think we might say, with? out fear of contradiction, that we have the finest dam and best improved water power in the State. In its construction, as well as in every other enterprise which this Com? pany has undertaken, they have spared neither pains nor money to make it a suc? cess. It seems to us that there is water sufficient pouring over the dam to-day, un? utilized and unheeded, to turn much more macbiuery than is now in operation, and instead of the G00 looms now in motion, 1500 might be at work, praising with their music the ingenuity of man. In all proba? bility this would have been done had not that honorable body we call legislators enacted the law of taxation against Manu? facturing Companies. Emi'loyee. Celebration and PIo Nie. The Sunday School at Carswell Institute and the Storeville Farmer*' Club propose to have a basket pic nie at the Institute on the 31st day of July. The exercises of the Sunday School to take place in the forenoon, and the exer? cises of che Farmers' Club in the afternoon. Col. J. G. Clinkscales, M. P. Tribble and J. E. Breazeale have been invited to ad? dress the Sunday School. Hon. R. P. Clinkscales and Maj. E. B. Murray have been invited to deliver agri? cultural addresses before the Farmers' Club, and to answer the following questions : 1st. During the last ten years?since 1876 ?what measures have been passed by the State Legislature, or introduced before that body, and by whom, looking to relief, protection and assistance to the farmers? 2nd. In the present exigency, what spe? cial legislation would be wise and judi? cious, and would likely bring relief to the agricultural population of South Carolina ?

Em tob : I send you a statement of a portion of my oat crop threshed to-day by W. J. Robbins & Co. On four acres of old land which has been in cultivation forty years I sowed five bushels in August at last plowing of cotton. 87 dozen were harvested, 82 threshed, making 91 bushels. These were the white or Egyptian seed. On same amount of land, same quality, about same number of bushels wore sown, making 60 dozen, 55 threshed, making 68 bushels. These were the winter grazing seed. I also sowed fifteen bushels Texas red oats on eight acres second bottom land, and made 168 bushels. About 75 bushels of cotton seed were sown on the land and plowed in with the red oats in November. The others were unmanured. I havo about.. 10 acres sowed in February to cut, which are good, but not quite so good as the Sum? mer and Fall sowing. Jas. G. Douthit. June 28,1886. Thoroughbred Jersey Red Pigs for sale.
