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.

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. All persons who are
interested in this matter are earnestly re?
quested to be present at this meeting.
Also bids are requested from anyone who
bos had experience in blasting to take the
job either by contract or by the day.

Information Wanted.
Mb. 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 has been
for a number of years connected with the
Baptist Church in this place, and has
lived an exemplary and devout life, show?
ing all those Christian graces of a true fol?
lower of our Saviour. ' She leaves a fam?
ily of six children to mourn her loss ;
and a great loss it is, for there is no one
that can fill the place of a good mother.
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.
Let tho Good Work Continue.
Having sold out my Spectacle business
here to Messrs. Hill Bros., they will con?
tinue to sell the same lines heretofore sold
by mo, viz: Tho Johnston Optical Co.'s
goods and the Wilson Spec. I take pleas?
ure iu recommending these goods as the
best, and can say that the prices are lower
than can be had in any of the cities on
