On Tuesday, 3rd inst., Mr. J. B. Whit ten, a well-known citizen of Garvin Town sb"p, met with a terrible accident. He was at work at Mr. L. A. Watkin's saw mill, and crawled into the pit under the saw to fclean it out. The saw was run? ning slowly, and be raised his head and struck it. A piece of skull two inches long by an inch wide was sawed out of his head instantly. He came out without assistance, and when carried home got out of tho buggy and walked into his house, having with his own hands pulled several small fragments of skull bone aw?*y from the wound. Physicians were promptly summoned, and everything possible was done for him. Our latest in? formation is that he is doing well, and the physicians are hopeful of his recovery. A very noval affair has occurred at Lowndesville in Abbeville County. A Mr. J. T. Latimer had a colored girl in his employ named Lucy Mclntocb, who was apprenticed to him until she was twenty one years old, under an indenture execut? ed in 1882. The girl is thirteen years old. The apprentice was courted by a colored youth named John Patterson. Mr. Lati? mer was opposed to the girl marrying so young. The couple eloped and were mar? ried by Trial Justice Mosely, who had the consent of the girl's mother, As soon as Mr. Latimer heard of the marriage he de? termined to enforce the law. The young husband was arrested by a warrant of Trial Justice Ransom for abduction. An investigation ensued. The abduction was denied, it being alleged that the girl met the boy on the road and went thence to the officiating justice. Justice Ransom de? cided that it was a case of abduction and required a bond of $200 from Patterson to await trial. He then toll Lucy she was no longer the wife of Patterson, because she was only thirteen years oid and could not lawfully marry, and turned her over to Mr. Latimer. The case has excited no little comment. Savannah Valley Railroad. The following is the schedule of the train on the Savannah Valley Railroad.

Editor: I desire to return my sincere thanks to my neighbors and citi? zens of Anderson for the many tokens of kindness bestowed on myself and family in our recent bereavement. J. L. F.AMT. Mr. Prince Declines. To the Voters of Anderson County : Having bad an attack of chills aud fever since the announcement of my name as a candidate for the Legislature, and finding that because of ill health it will be utterly impossible for me to at? tend the campaign meetings, I beg leave to withdraw from the race. Thanking my numerous friends for^thoir kind words of encouragement, I am, respectfully, H. M. Piunce. Sunday Trains. Mr. Editor : Some of us are greatly pained by a report that there, will be an effort made to run the trains on the Sa? vannah Valley Railroad on the Sabbath. Is it possible ? Are we as a people com? ing to this ? Is it any wonder that we have storms and drouths and floods? The only wonder is, that we, as a people, are not consumed. If this is the Rail? road we are to have, I for one (and I am not alone) say we bad ten thousand times letter have no Road. It is time to call a halt. To think that our own people aro indirectly aiding the scum of Europe in breaking down our Sabbath', is too terri? ble. If this is done, it will be an insult to Almighty God, and an outrage on His people. W. A. Hodges. Simpson's Mills, August 9,-1886. Mi:. Editor : Pursuant to a call of a few of the landowners on Six and Twenty Creek, a number of them met at this place. The object of the meeting was to consider the propriety of blasting out the shoals at the lower end of Mr. A. B. Bowden's bot? toms. Mr. P. R. Brown was called to the chair, and W. T. McGill was requested to act aa Secretary. The object of. the meet? ing was stated by the Chairman. Mr. Jos. W. Major was called on to make some re? marks in regard to the full benofit that could be gained by blasting out this shoal. Mr. Major stated that he with Mr. Joseph Bowden and Mr. McWhorter, had exam? ined the shoal and thought that between three or four feet fall could be obtained at a small cost to all 'interested. Mr. Bowden and Mr. McWhorter stated that they thought the creek could be thoroughly drained if this shoal was taken out They thought that with one hundred and fifty dollars about three feet fall or more would be obtained. After some remarks by the Chairman and others, all present were con? vinced that the bottom land on Six and Twenty Creek could be dried. Some of these lands are so wet that a cow cannot walk through them, and is as fine as any bottom land in the County. On motion it was agreed to go into a permanent organi? zation. The following officers were elect? ed : President, J. W. Major; Treasurer, P. R. Brown; Secretary, W. T. McGill. This organization proposes to go to work at once. A committee consisting of P. R. Brown, W. T. McGill, W. A. G. McWhorter, Jos. W. Major, J. H. Hutchinson, Joseph W. Ashley and Dr. J. G. Duckworth, was ap? pointed to raise funds to blast out the shoals. This committee is to report at a meeting to bo held at Simpson's mills on Saturday, the.14th inst., at 9 o'clock a. m., at which meeting a committee will be ap? pointed to superintend the blasting, and to make arrangements to remove all obstruc? tion from the creek.

Editor : Pleaso request Executive Committees of Democratic Clubs to formu? late questions to aspirants for County Com? missioners, explaining when ond why our County became involved in debt? I am told we owe from $5,000 to $0,000, and the late freshets will increase it?say about to $7,000 or $8,000. A day or so since a gen? tleman said he had claims on our County, regularly approved, which he hoped to sell for 90 cents on the dollar, but because of the debt of our County he could get but 80 to 85 cents. Is this not too bad for the yeomanry of our once solvent County to toil and sweat with hard blows to earn a dollar and sell it for 80 cents ? The reasons why can and will be fully explained by those who know?candidates, both of for? mer boards and the present incumbents. Tax Payer, The County Campaign. Mr. Editor: Hopewell Democratic Club met on the 7th inst. and made ar? rangements for the campaign meeting on the 13th inst., as follows: The candidates for bounty officers to speak first, and to be limited to fifteen minutes eaoh, and the order in which tbey speak to be determined by lot. Candi? dates for the House next and for tho Sen? ate lost The Club reserves the privilege to ask questions of the candidates, but no question to be asked except through the Executive Committee of the Club. The Club desires to hear the candidates for the Legislature on tho following ques? tions : 1st. Are you or not in favor of free tui? tion iu the South Carolina University? 2nd. Are you or not in favor of sub? mitting the question of prohibition to the suffrages of the people of Anderson Coun? ty? 3rd. What legislation do you proposo in the interest of the common schools, look? ing especially to the increase of the fund and to paying cash at the ond of the month for work done ? 4th. Are you or not in favor of an Ag? ricultural College separate and distinct from the South Carolina University. 5th. Are you in favor of a Constitution - at Convention and of biennial sessions of the Legislature ? Upon question No. 3 the Club desires to hoar the views of the candidates for School Commissioner. The ladies are especially invited to grace tho occasion with their presence. D. H Russell, President. Mb. Editor : No honest candidate wish? es to deceive hia fellow-citizens. No honest citizen with an elective franchise, for the right use of which he is morally responsi? ble, wishes to be deceived. These two statements set forth a condition of affairs that may bo profitably considered. In or? der to vote intelligently the citizen needs to know the character and purpose, as accu? rately as is possible, of the candidate. This appears, since the candidate is the prospec? tive representative of the voter: and, that being the case, the voter is measurably re? sponsible for the representative acts of the candidate whom be elects. 1. Now, there arc cartain facts, knowl? edge of which enables the voter to form a pretty fair estimate of the real character and solid worth of a candidate; and no worthy candidate will deny to the man whose suffrage he seeks the benefit of these facts. 2. The attitude the candidate sustains to the leading issues of the day. are vital facts of which the voter cannot afford to bo ig? norant. Moreover, the .candidate who would intentially deceive the most illite? rate voter on this subject is an unprinci? pled man. In order, therefore, to facilitate the ac? quisition of this information, so important to the cause of truth and duty, let the fol? lowing and other pertinent questions be cate? gorically answered by each candidate through the columns of our County papers at once. It may also be taken for granted that any candidate who is unwilling to comply with the request herein made is either morbidly modest, or else is ashamed of his record. In either case the- public will do well to beware. " for all candidates. What is your age and occupation ? How long have you been engaged in your pres? ent occupation i Where were you born and raised ? What educational advantages have you enjoyed ? Are you a member of some Church, (no mention of the denomi? nation is desired) ? Do you use intoxica? ting liquors, except in case of necessity ? Do you use profane language? Is your 'general health good? Have you lost any limbs ? If so, in what way ? At what figures are you rated on the Recorder's books? for candidates to the general assembly. Do you hold that our State officials and Congressmen should be elected by primary or convention ? Do you favor the enactment of a prohi? bition laVvfor the State ? * Do you favor the continuance of the S. C. College and Citadel Academy at tho expense of the State ? Do you hold that the free tuition feature of the S. C. College should be abolished? In conclusion, Mr. Editor, some?per? haps many?of the qualified voters cannot be on hand when the candidates come round according to appointment; but this method of proceeding will serve the pur? pose, in some satisfactory degree, to inform the general public?hence it is recommend? ed in good faith. Pbo Bono Publico. OBITUARY. DIED, on the Cth inst., Mrs. J. L. Fant. Mrs. Fant has been almost a constant suf? ferer for eighteen years.

She was patient in her suffering, never murmuring nor complaining against the will of an All-Wise Providence. "Bless? ed are those who die in the Lord." May the Lord watch over her orphaned chil? dren, and lead them gently and tenderly through this world of sorrow and care. May each and every one with whom they come in contact have a kind word for them, and help them to' bear their loss. "For what measure you meto it shall be measured to you again." S. G. Bruce.
