This, is a most creditable.examination, and we extend Neb. our congratulations. The Anderson County Normal Music School, under the tutorship of Prof. Sbo walter, of Dalton, Ga., began its session at Lebanon Church last Monday, with 73 pupils on its roll,' and it is; expected that the roll will be Increased to 150 pupils the first of next week. On Friday night, 30th inst., the sohool will give a Concert for the benefit of Lebanon Church. An admis? sion fee of 25 cents will be charged. We bespeak for the Concert a liberal patron? age. . During the heavy rain storm on the night of tho 14th Inst., the dwelling house of Mr. W. Bonds, two miles south of tiie city, was struck by lightning- The electric bolt struck' the house just above a window and ran down the frame, tear? ing off the facing and shattering the- low? er sash into atoms.

Fraser, of Charleston, Secre? tary of the State Board of Health, is in Anderson on his tour of inspection of the sanitary condition of the towns of the State. Dr. Fraser expresses himself well pleased with the drainage and general sauitary condition of the city, and say a that there is only one place in tho city calculated to produce disease, and that place is the pond in the rear of Dr. Or r's residence. Dr. Fraser is a. physician of ability and high standing in his profes? sion, aud the Board of Health is fortunate in securing the services of so experienced a sanitarian for its Secretary. The track-laying force on the Savan? nah Valley Railroad are within one mile of the depot site, and would have reached the depot to-morrow but for the fact that the supply of Iron gave out on Tuesday. Within the city limits there are three trestles to build, but only one of them is of any consequence. The building of these trestles will delay the force two or three days, and the train will not reach the depot site before Saturday or Monday. The work of building the depot and lay? ing the side tracks will begin as soon as the depot site is reached. For the past week a crowd of our people have gone out every day to witness the laying of the track, which is qnite an interesting ope " ration. t Mrs. Margaret Jones, wife of Dr. G. M. Jones, died at her home near this city last Thursday afternoon, after a painful illness of several weeks. She had been in feeble health for a long time, but not until recently was she confined to her bed. Mrs. Jones was a native of Ireland, having come to Anderson when a young lady, where she has ever since resided. She was about 60 years of age, aud was highly esteemed by her acquaintances. Since her youth she had been a faithful member of the Presbyterian Church, Her remains were Interred In the Fresbyr terian cemetery, this city, on Friday after? noon, Revi Dr. Frlerson conducting the funeral services. She leaves a husband and three children to mourn her death. By some unknown means the report has gone out that there are twenty-five or more cases of typhoid fever in this city, and several persons; have written to friends here inquiring as to the truth of the report. This Js a slander on Ander son, and wc think it our duty to correct tho report. The health of Anderson was never better at this season of tho year. Thor? have bcon a number of cases of dys cnlory in tho city, but this disoasuis prov? ident evorywhoro. As to typhoid fuvor, there have, been only four cases in the city this year, and three of them were of a very light form. The city authorities make a thorough examination of the premises of our citizens every week or two, and every preeaujtion is used for the benefit of the health of the city. Wo venture the assertion that there is not a healthier place in the State than Ander? son, in proportion to its population. ? The Saluda Baptist Association.

After many urgent solicitations I have decided to become a candidate for re-election as Mayor of the City of Anderson. When the Mayor enters on the duties of his office he takes an oath to cnTorce the laws- of the City. If elected I should of course use every effort in the future, as I have done in the past, not-only to enforce tho ordinances relating to the sale, or pro? hibition of the sale of spirituous liquors, but also all of the other ordinances'of the City. If elected Mayor I will earnestly strive to' carry out the will of the people upon the prohibition question as they may express it at the ballot box. G. F. Tolly. -aMu Reply to "A Votor.? Anderson, July 21st, 1880, Ms. Editor :'. Having consented to be? come a candidate for the office of Mayor of our City, I regard it not only my privilege but my duty to the citizens'of Anderson to reply to the article in your paper of the 15th, over the signature of "A Votor," and define clearly and distinctly my position on the question of the rigid enforcement of prohibition, and my sympathies in regard to the movement. Ar a citizen I am in full sympathy with the prohibition or tem? perance movement now going on in onr community, and will do all in my power ?to carry onr city for prohibition at the elec? tion to be held in December, 188G. I'firmly . believ?- that prohibition can be enforced, and the sale of liquor prohibited in our city, and if the citizens decide by election that there shall be no license, and I am ejected the Mayor of your city, I will exert all my powers, both personal and official, to rigidly enforce the Prohibition Law to the full extent. Very truly vours, R. F. Divveb. A Nomination for Mayor. Ma. Editob : The topic of the day is who will be the next Mayor of the City of An? derson, and whenever any man is named for the position there is certain to be objec? tions produced to him immediately. In some instances it is objected that the indi? viduals named are seen to often, late at night, In billiard-rooms and bar-rooms, and in some instances this is true, even of candidates who are officials in tho Church, and men who pray in public. Sometimes we hear them spoken of as pillars of the Church., and bright and shining lights; but such men never made any light for me. If I were to go to a bar for a drink I could too often find a' Methodist Steward, a Baptist Deacon or a Presbyterian Elder taking a drink with as much earnestness as if it was the wine handed him at tho communion. Sometimes a man loins the Church and professes to the world to renounce sin, and you find him praying in public, attending Church and Sunday School, and taking an active part in temperance movements, and yet you will find him at other times drink? ing in (he bar-rooms. What a hypocrite, what a deceiver, what a felsifier. I tell you, Mr. Editor, such men are traitors to the cause of morality. A man who will act thus cannot be trusted in public position. You may put this down as certain. Nqw, Mr. Editor, I started out to name a man for Mayor, and in doing so I propose to sug? gest a gentleman who is far from going back' upon his obligations as a Church member. He never-visits bar-rooms or billiard-rooms. He is as-far from it as the East is from the West. The man I nomi? nate for the office of Mayor is James L. Tribble, Esq. He would fill the office with honor and distinction, and when his term of office expires- would 'retire wjtb the praise, "Well done good and faithful ser? vant." S. P. S.?Mr. Tribble has never turned over, and therefore will not have to wallop back to get on the side of respectability. - ? S* . WUitamston Correspondence. We ha7e had considerable interest man? ifested in our town for the past few days on account of the vacancy made at the depot by the death of Mr. Mauldin. Sev? eral have applied for the position. Our people would be pleased to have a tele? graph office added, and we hopo the au? thorities will consider the matter in due time. Dysentery and flux are quite oommon among our people, some of whom are very ill. Mrs. James McCullough and Mrs. Bob Hodges and others have been dangerously 111. Our esteemed and hon? ored friend, Dr. John Wilson, had quite a serious attack, but we are glad to have his pleasant and genial countenance once more mingling with ours in every day life. The Church-going people of our town were highly entertained, and i hopo ben? efited, on last Sabbath by another grand and eloquent sermou from Bro. Stewart at the Presbyterian Church. Who would not be delighted always to have such truths, such strength in such a spirit so beautifully pictured to the mind as woget from our young brother ? The youth of the town were all agloo on Friday evening attending what they called the ''Indian Show." A stalwart fellow who claims to be a native of Flor? ida came through exhibiting his sleight of-hand tricks. Our colored band was in attendance and added considerably to tho entertainment of the hour by its music. A. P. N. July I2lh, 1880. ''iiloohol fta a Medicine." Mb. Editor : Allow me to extend my thanks for, and call attention to, the arti? cle on your first page of last issue (15th inst.,), entitled, "Alcohol as a Medicine." It merits a careful perusal by both physi? cians and I hose served by them. Yours truly, Pbo Bono Btjblicq. Toiiuhbr?' Institute. Mi:. Editor: The Teachers' IustiluLo opened its session in the commodious chapel of tho University on tho 5th inst., and closed on llio l?tlu It was woll at? tended, throughout, not by tcachora alone : at times the chapel was well nigh filled with visitors, thus showing that the public is interested in the welfare of the cause which we met to promote. The exercises were interestiug and en? tertaining, as.well as profitablo and in? structive. Mtes MaOauls, an accomplished toachor in the public schools of Columbia, instructed the teachers in tho most ap? proved methods of teaching children to read, write, spell, &c. She had a class of children, furnished through the kindness of Miss Hubbard, to whom she gave daily lessons, for the edification of the assembled teacher-pupils. This was not the most dignified feature of the Institute work; but, certainly, not the least useful. Miss McCants also had charge of the calisthenic class, the object of which was to train the teachers in that invigorating and grace-imparting exercise, that they might do their pupils likewise. This was an interesting, and valuable part of the work, and it is to be hoped, will be intro? duced into many of our schools. Prof. Morrison, City Superintendent of Educa? tion, Spartanburg, was our President. He gave much useful instruction on the art of school management. He also pre? sented the most recent and approved methods of teaching mathematics. Dr. Lander, the distinguished and kind hearted President of the Williamaton Female College, gave several interesting lectures, all of which were replete with practical and comprehensible information. During tho session of the Institute, we were entertained by learned lectures, from Drs. Manly, Carlisle and Frierson. These gentlemen are all distinguished educators, and their lectures should in? spire every teacher and pupil who heard them to do better and more persistent work. The* daily exercises were interspersed, at agreeable intervals, by refreshing music and recesses. This description would be incomplete did I not mention the question box. It was a very valuable feature of the Insti? tute, and was the occasion of many spiri? ted discussions and much innocent mirth. On the closing day Mr - Russell, one of Anderson County'3 most wide-awake and progressive teachers, offered the following resolutions, which were adopted by the unanimous vote of the Institute: Resolved, That we hereby tender to Miss McCants, Prof. Morrison, Drs. Lander, Carlisle, Manly and Frierson, our sincere gratitude for the zeal and ability with which they have conducted this Normal, and especially, for the patience manifes? ted in answering inquiries. We bid them God speed in their work. ? Resolved, That wo most heartily com? mend the untiring zeal and energy of our School Commissioner, J. G. Clinkscales, in the interest of the schools of Anderson County, and we hail with delight the present upward trend of things. Especi? ally do we thank him for giving us the opportunity of attending this County Normal School, and we heartily com? mend the Normal to the teachers, trustees, and citizens of our County. Resolved, That we earnestly urge upon our delegation in the Legislature to bring to its attention the great necessity of providing the means to pay teachers in the Common Schools cash for work done at the end of each month. Resolved, That we urge upon the Legis? lature, at its next session, to repeal the law requiring a re-examination of expe? rienced teachers, who hold first grade certificates. Resolved, That these resolutions be pub? lished in all the County papers and the Carolina Teacher. A more detailed account of the proceed? ings would, here, be superfluous. The Institute was a grand success, throughout, the only thing to be regretted being the absence of a few teachers, who will, perhaps too late, discover what they missed. Teacher. Honca. Path News. From the Plaindealer. Mr. William McMurtry, father of Mrs. M. Erwin, intends to leave for Ireland about the first of August. His many friends in and around Honea Path feel sorry to part with him. Dr. M. C. Parker, the local editor of tho Plaindealer, has gone to New Haven, Conn., as the South Carolina delegate to the National Convention of the Sons of Temperance. A postoffice has beon established at Erwin's Mills, Abbeville County, with Mr. M. Erwin as postmaster. The office is named "Erwin." It will be a great convenience to the people of that commu? nity. Jas. H. Dunn is superintending Joshua W. Ashley's thresher this season. They have threshed twenty-seven hundred bushels in seven days. They threshed at J. B. Kay's nineteen bushels in six min? utes. There is life in the old land yet. John Thomas Mufdock, a 14-year old son of J. M. Murdock, of Martin town? ship, sowed a pint of wheat in an out of tho way place three years ago. He now has from it about six arid three-fourths bushels. Some girl of that community will take John Thomas's cake and be happy. Vot a Candidate. Hickory Flat, 8. C, July 17. Editor Intelligence!: : Please allow me space in your paper to say, in answer to the numerous inquiries I have received, that I nm not a candidate for the Sonate. I beg to acknowledge my high apprecia? tion of tho confidence and esteem of my fellow-citizens in suggesting my name for this honorable position, and can assure them that it is not lukewartnness or in? difference, but rather a lively interest in the issues at stake that have influenced me.
