Tho Court of General Sessions for the County of Anderson convened on Mon? day last with his Honor Judge Hudson presiding, and Solicitor Orr representing the State.

Willlainston Correspondence. The shrill noise of the planing ma? chine, the making and laying of so many brick, the chatter of a cotton gin, and regular ringing of the College bell from "early morn 'til dewy eve," keeps us re? minded of the industrious working hands and brain in Our especially favored little town, and causes us to send up praises? evory day from a heart full of gratitude' for having cast our lots iu such "green pastures and by the Rtill waters." We have the >;reat privilege and pleas? ure of attending good prayer-meetings every week; it keeps our poor hearts cheered on the stormy way of life. In these prayer-meetings our young men speak out the sentiment of their minds full of tho spirit, and are letting their "lights so shine that the world can see their good works." Theshort, but beau? tiful remarks made by Prof. L. Landeron the subject of "The everyday works of a Christian's life," were much appreciated and very profitable to his hearers. Messrs. Geo. Sullivan and B. Carpenter are in New York purchasing new goods for the.coming season. We were pleased to learn of the return of Mr. Leland Williams, from Tennessee, to take his old place in business at Pied? mont. He was accompanied by his sister, Miss Julia, who is one of the Alumnae of our College, and who will perhaps remain over the winter with her many friends and relatives of this State. We are sorry to chronicle the death of Colie Qaln.es, that good, gentle and beauti? ful old horse which has for years plodded our streets so faithfully. Colieis gone to his long rest, and peace be to his ashes. Williamston is putting on a bright, new appearance in the way of the combination fence. Several of our citizens are enclos? ing their premises with this new and beautiful style of fence, and others speak of doing so. One or two families from the country have been in of late, looking out for a new home. We extend to them a hearty wel? come, and could certainly supply their wants in a nice home on several of our streets. A. P. N. Tho Farmers' Convention. The Farmers' County Convention met in this city, in O'Donnell's Hall, last Mon? day, under the call of D. K. Norris, Chair? man County Executive Committee. The meeting was called to order by Capt. B. K. Norris. On motion of Col. E. M. Rucker, Capt. Norris was elected per? manent Chairman. Col. W. E. Walteis was elected Secretary. The election of five delegates to the State Convention to meet in Columbia on the 9th of November being the object of the call of the meeting, as stated by the Chairman, nominations were declared in order, and the following gentlemen wore nominated: J. Belton Watson, D. K. Norris, John W. Rosemond, D. S. White, M. McGee, T. W. Martin^ R. P. Clink scales, R. W. Simpson and M. Berry Wil? liams. Messrs. C. O. Burriss, J. B. Watson and R. M. Burns were appointed tellers. While the ballots were being counted, Capt. D. K. Norris read the following communication from the Secretary of the I Newberry Farmers' Club, which, on mo? tion, was received as iu formation : Silver Street, S. C, Sept. 30, '86. Dear Sir : At a meeting of the New berry Farmers' Club, held at Newberry C. H., August 14th, 1886, the following preamble and resolution were passed, which I beg you to submit to your Club: "Whereas, We, the farmers of Newber? ry feel that the time for retrenchment and reform is upon us ; and, whereas, the be? lief is general that the official positions in the County are more numerous than de? manded by necessity or supported by economical administration of public af? fairs. "limited, That a committee of three be appointed to investigate the charges which originate this belief, said committee, after having made a thorough examination, to report to a called meeting of this body at such time as may be designated by the proper authorities; and that the Secretary be instructed to correspond with all other county organizations, requesting them to take action in this matter, thereby secur? ing unity of action at the State Conven? tion, which will be held in Columbia on the 9th day of November, 1886." Hoping that we may accomplish good, I am, very respectfully, Jno. C. Goggans, Secretary N. F. C. J. B. Douthit offered the following res? olutions, which were seconded by D. K. Norris in an effective speech and unani? mously adopted by the meeting: Resolved, That it is the duty of the State to inaugurate an Agricultural and Me? chanical College separate and distinct from the South Carolina College. Resolved, That the Agricultural Depart? ment be reorganized in the interest of the farmers and of economy. R. P. Clinkscales read a Constitution for the organization of a permanent County Club. After discussion, it was referred to a committee, consisting of R. P. Clink scales, E. M. Rucker, J. B. Douthit, J. R. Newton and Tk W. Martin, with instruc? tions to roport to an adjourned meeting of this Convention on Saleday in Novem? ber. The tellers made their report and the following delegates to tho State IConvon t:on were declared elected: M. MeGee, D. K. Norrie, T. W. Martin, K P. Clink scales and J. Belton Watson; alternates, R. W. Simpson, J. W. Rosemond, D. S. White, J. A. Hall and M. B. Williams, jr. There being no further business, the Convention adjourned. W. E. Walters, Secretary. Mr. Editor : With many others 1 went to Anderson last Salesday to attend a meeting of tho Farmers' Convention to elect delegates to the State Convention to meet in Columbia in November. The meeting was called by -the ox-County Chairman, and if not stated explicitly, it was understood that the meeting would take place in the Court House. Instead of this, it appears that a few farmers met in O'Donnell'sHall, elected delegates and transacted other business. Now, is this course calculated to enlist the co-opera? tion and support of the farmers of the County? Is it not probable that there were many farmers at Anderson last Monday who would gladly have partici? pated in the meeting if they had known the place of meeting? If the object of these organizations is to unify the farm? ers, should there not have been more care and watchfulness in the meeting ? These are questions which seem to me to be im? portant, and demand tbe consideration of the leaders in this farmers' movement. We poor humble farmers, cultivators of the soil, are willing to be humble followers of any great movement promising good to the farmers, but we protest against fol? lowing so far away. No County organi? zation can bind tbe people unless made up by them. At any rate, these are thoughts that oc:ur to an humble Farmer. The Grand Jury's Presentment, To His Honor, J. H. Hudson, Presiding Judge: We the Grand Jury of Anderson County at this the third term of the Court of General Sessions of said County for the year 1886, b9g leave respectfully to Bubmit tbe following report, to wit: We have reported upon all the bills of indictment handed out to us by the Solicitor. We have visited the county offices du? ring our term of service, and find them properly kept. We have examined the Trial Tustices' dockets and books, and find them in good order. We respectfully recommend that the County Commissioners purchase a safe of suitable size to contain all the records of any importance in their office. We made this recommendation at our first term, but tbe same has not yet been carried out. We respectfully recommend that our members of tbe Legislature have an extra tax levied, and authorize our Coun? ty Commissioners to borrow upon such extra levy a sufficicent sum of money to pay off all the past indebtedness of our County, and also to borrow an amount of money equal to three-fourths of the gen? eral levy, so that our County may be en? abled to pay cash for all current expen? ses. We are satisfied that money can be saved to the County in this way. We recommend that the two dollar commutation tax for road duty be raised to five dollars, and be expended by the County Commissioners on the roads whose hands paid the same. We herewith present the report of J. C. Whitfield, Esq., who was appointed to investigate the Beaverdam Creek, waters of Rocky River, and respectfully recom? mend that proper action be taken upon tbe same by our County Commissioners or Solicitor. We respectfully recommend that the County Commissioners have the two roads leading west from the city of An? derson, at places known as Byrum's hill and Byrum's bottoms, and tbe Belton road between the corporate limits of said city and the Rocky River Bridge, round? ed up and put in a thorough condition for travel, and that they see to this that it is done before winter, even though it re qure extra force of hands to do it. We recommend that the County Com? missioners build a bridge over Hurricane Creek on tbe road from Piedmont to Pelzer and Williamston. We herewith tender our thanks to His Honor the Presiding Judge, the Solicitor and other officers of tbe court for kind? ness and courtesies extended to us du? ring our term of office. C. A.

THE property of the Anderson Educa? tional Association, known as the University, having been leased to other par? ties, I be<? leave to inform my friends, and the public generally, that I will open a School for young men and boys in the City of Anderson on the 30th August next. Having spent thirty-seven ycaw of my life exclusively in the business of teaching '. ; ?twenty-eight in Anderson County and nine elsewhere?the fruits of my labors are 7 i well known, not only to this people, but also to many others outside of this County and in different parts of the State ; and it is, therefore, with a confident expectation of a liberal support from ray former natrons and others that I offer my services to the people of Anderson und surrounding coun? try. It is my purpose, by careful and unre? mitting attention, to teach thoroughly all the Classical, Mathematical and Scientific branches usually taught in High Schools . and Academics, and at the same time equal care and attention will be given to those engaged in the elementary and ies3 advan? ced studies, using for both classes o*f stu- ? dents the latest and most approved Text Books, and adopting such modern methods of instruction as have received the endorse? ment of the best educators of our time, V: Special attention will be given to the Separation of students for College, and t?i ose who are unable, for lack of time or means, to take a Collegjate course, my ear? nest efforts will be given to aid them in acquiring a solid, well-grounded education which will fit them to discnurge creditably and efficiently all the practical ousiness du? ties of life. I trust I will be excused if 1 refer with a pardonable pride, as a result of my life's work as an educator, to the large number of my former students, of both sexes, who have won the first prize at several rigid i competitive examinations; and, also, to the I long list of young men who have achieved success in the learned professions, and con? spicuous success in other honorable busi? ness avocations. It is not my intention to antagonize any other institution of learning in our City there is room for all; but by faithful, con? scientious work, I hope to merit and re? ceive a proportionate share of the pnblic patronage.) The scholastic year extends from August 30th. 1886, to June 3rd, 1887, divided into two sessions. The first ends Jan. 15th, 1887, and the second begins on the following Monday and ends June 3rd, 1887. There will be.an intermission of one week at Christmas. Charges will be made by the session, and when a student enters school, he will be charged from the day of entrance to the end of the session in which Lp enters. No deduction will be made for loss of time, ex? cept in cases of long, protracted illness. Tuition fees must be paid promptly at the end of each month, or a satisfactory arrangement made with regard to them. No student greatly in arrears will be. al? lowed to continue in the school. Teaching is the business by which I gain a liveli? hood, and it is as reasonable that I should require prompt payment for my work when .-^ it is done as any other laborer in any other work. The merchant can give long credit,; bnt he always charges proportionately' higher prices. The rates I offer are strictly cash?payable monthly. Tuition fees will be $12 00, $16.00 and $20.00 per session, according to the studies pursued by the student. Contingent fee nfty cents per session, to cover incidentals. Arrangements have been made by which students can be boarded at reasonable prices in the City. Students of my School, boarding at any place, will be responsible to me for their conduct. Further information with regard to my School will be cheerfully furnished. Don't hesitate to apply for it. Aug 12,1886 5 3m ??-.'??'?>
