Byrum, who resides just a mile and a half West of the city. On Monday morn? ing we rode out to see it. Mr. Byrum was just engaged in gathering it. The field contains about fivo acres, and is undoubt? edly tho host field of uplaud corn wo have ever seen or heard of in this country. The land is on a high ridge, and has a poor, sandy soil, but notwithstanding this, each stalk had an average of three ears on it, many of them containing six and eight ears, and several as high as ten oars. Mr. Byrum secured, a small quan? tity of the eeed a few years ago, and calls it tho "Tippins Prolific Corn." The gen? eral estimate is that the five acres will yield him fully two hundred and fifty b'usbela He says that he manured it very lightly. In his garden, a rich spot, he pjanted a few rows, leaving thestalks two feet apart, and the yield was immense. Tho cob is small and full oflarge grains. Tho stalks, too, are small. We have some samples on exhibition at our office. Anderson has a furniture establishment that any city might be proud of. Wo rofcr to the furniture store of our popular Mayor, Mr. G. F. Tolly. On Tuesday afternoon, while strolling around, we dropped into his establishment and were courteously shown through the house. To say that it was an interesting sight, would" be putting it mildly. The build? ing, which is a large one, is filled from cellar to garret with everything that belongs to a first-class furniture store. The building is divided off into compart: men ts, each one of which contains a dis? tinct line of goods, so that notwithstand? ing the immense stock, purchasers have no trouble in selecting what they want. His chamber setts range from $16.00 to $350.00, and as for chairs, sideboards, wardrobes, etc., you can get thorn at any price. Mr. Tolly is perfectly familiar with his business, as he has spent a life? time in it. He buys direct from the man? ufacturers in car load lots, and therefore gets his goods at the lowest prices. There is no use in sending off to any other market for your furniture, as Mr. Tolly says he will duplicate any bill from any other house and save you freight, and we know that he means what he Bays.

Towers, in this city, after an illness of two weeks from typhoid fever. Mr. Towers was one of the most popular and promising young men that has ever been reared in Anderson. He was twenty one years of age on the 9th of February last, and had graduated the previous Sum? mer, with the degree of Master of Arts, at the head of his class, in the South Caro? lina College. Immediately upon his grad? uation he was elected as Tutor in the Col? lege and Secretary of the Faculty. He was pursuing the post graduate course there, and was distinguished last session in the school of law. He was a'hard student and possessed a bright mind. This rare combi? nation marked him as a man capable of the highest attainments, and he went easily from one achievement in study to another.

The Court of General; Sessions was en? gaged at the time of? our last issue in the trial^pf?Robaft and -Mary A. Gray, for murder^awew been committed uporv,Allen S. Barksdale in 1870. The e videhceior the State 'showed" that there had been difficulties- between Barksdale, the deceased, aud.the prisoners, and that Mary A.' Gray bad'sworn., out a peace warra.it against him which had not oeen served,. On th? evening of the homicide -Caroline Brown states that the defendants were at her house, and Robert' Gray said he was going to kill Allen Barksdale. About dark a son of Barksdale, who was then thirteen years old, testified that Beauregard Gray, a son of defendants', came to Barksdale s house1 to grind some coffee and ? left a message -for Barksdale that his mother, (Mrs. Gray,) wanted to gee,him as'soon as he came home. He delivered this message to his father: when - fie came home about nine or ten o'clock, and he went over to Gray's, .which was about four hundred yards distant, with a lighted lamp in his hand. Soon he heard his father cryingoutl'PolIy don't kill me," and taking the gun he ran down to about fifty yards of the house. When he got there all was quiet, and he heard some one panning through the cotton patch in the direction of Caroline Brown's, and he re turned U) his fathers house fearing to go further. Later the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Gray notified the sons of Barksdale and some of the neighbors, that Mrs. Gray had killed Allen Barksdale. On going there Barksdale was found lying parallel with.the house a few steps from the door. A knife was lying near him open, and the le mp was also near him and broken. His forehead was crushed in as if struck with the eye of an axe. A gash four inches long and three inches deep, was cut in the back of his bead. There were also sevens contusions on each side of his head. ., Caroline Brown testified that Robert ;.Gray came to her house between nine and ten odock at night. She asked'him if ho had killed Barksdale, and he replied hush. There was blood on his pants and vest which he took off, and she washed that night. Her son, William Brown, testified to these facts also. The defense explained the tragedy by Mrs. Gray's testimony. She denied send? ing any message to Barksdale, or sending her son to his house. She said he came to her house and .coming in stated that she bad taken a peace warrant for bim, and ho would kill her. That he cut her with his knife on the throat and breast, cutting through her dress. She backed across the' room from him, and getting the axe in one corner, struck him with the edge over the top of his bead. She then got out of the door, and, dropping the axe, got a hoe. He followed her, and as he came out of the door she struck bim two .blows, knocking him down. As he start? ed to rise, she got the axe again and struck bim in the forehead, killing him. She sent her sons to inform the neighbors. Her sou Beauregard corroborated her throughout. Robert Gray also testified that he was not at home that night. The character of Caroline Brown was attacked, and it was shown that she and her son had had recent difficulties with the Grays. They had never told about Robert Gray until after these difficulties. After a deliberation of some three hours, the jury returned a verdict of "Not Guilty." The next case called was the State vs. Jasper N. Davis, for killing Mary Davis, hin wife. Tho tes? timony for tho State has already been published by us. so wc will not repeat it. There was no question about the deliberate shooting of his wife, but Davis plead Insanity as his defense He had been In the Asylum over twb years ago. Dr. Frank Smith test hi cd that he was suffering from hvpocondria, and needed a regulation ol diet which could not be given him outside of the Asylum. He regarded him as knowing right from wrong. A number of witnesses testified that they regarded him as knowing right from wrong. The defense showing a change ol habits from industry to idleness. He wandered from house to house would sleep in barns instead of coming to the house?was indifferent to heat or cold, and acted strangely. On one occasion he asked Dr. Smith for some medicine to kill himself, aud when the doctor gavo him a mixture of red pepper and water, and told him a tea spoonful would kill him, he drank it oft' readily. On these fuels the case was argued, and the jury returned in about thirty minutes wita a verdict of (iuilty. Mr. Prince, Davis' Attorney, gave notice of a motion for new trial aud in arrest of judgment, both of which were overruled. The motion iu arrest of judg? ment was based on what ho considered the im* Sroper writing of the word feloniously, in tho in Ictment. Judge Hudson thought it was right except the I was not dotted, and that it was not calculated to mislead. lie then sentenced Davis tobe hung on Friday, Uie5tu day of November. Tho prisoner will doubtless appeal, and tha exe? cution cannot bo at an earlier day than next Spring. Tho verdict of tho jury meets with universal commendation. It shows that tho insanity dodge will not do in Anderson County. Tho Court of Common Fleas is notv in session.

The cornerstone of the new Methodist Church building wiis laid last Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Notwithstanding theie was no general announcomont that it would take place at that honr, a crowd of 75 or 100 persons, the majority of whom werer ladies, was present to witness the in? teresting event. v Rev. J. W. W?lling, the pastor, assisted" by Rev. Dr. Friorson, of the Presbyterian Church, and Rev. Wm. Hutto, conducted the ceremonies. Mr, W?lling begun the ceremonies with a few appropriate remarks, at the conclu? sion of which ho read the 290th hymn? "Theso walls to thy bouor raise. Long may they echo to thy praise." Two verses of this hymn were sang, after which Dr. Frlerson read a prayer from the Methodist Ritual. Dr. W. H. Nardin, the Chairman of the Building Committee, then read the beautiful ceremony laid down in the Methodist Ritual in reference to the lay? ing of corner stones, the [responses being made by a number of those present. The stone was then placed in position by the Architect, Mr. A. W. Todd. Mr. W?lling stepped forward and placed in it tho fol? lowing articles, in the order named : Pocket Bible, by Mrs. W. H. Nardin. History of the Church from its organi? zation, by J. C. Whitfield. Photograph of Marvin Maroney, a little son of Mr. W. D. Maroney. List of members of the Church. List of original snbscribers to the build? ing fund. List of the official Board of the Church for 1S86. Lot of cards containing the names of various persons. Masonic apron, by Mrs. B. F.

Later in the afternoon a list of the city officers, a copy of the annual report of the Building and Loan Association, and a list ' of the members of the Ladies' Building Society of the Church were also deposited in the stone. Aftor the articles had been deposited, Dr. Frierson, by request of Mr. W?lling, made some very interesting and appro? priate remarks. The crowd was then dismissed by the benediction. The stone, which is of white marblo, rests in the Northwest corner. The fol ; lowing is inscribed upon it: North side?"Methodist Church. Built 1880. A. W. Todd, Architect; Mayfield <fc Co., Builders." West side?"Organized 1828. Rev. J. W. W?lling Pastor 1883-188G-" South side?"Building Committee: Dr. W. H. Nardin, ch'm'n, J. W. Daniels, T. C. Ligon, R.

The walls of the building will be push? ed up rapidly, and when it is completed it will be an ornament to Anderson and a monument to tho energy and liberality of the Methodist congregation. Lebanon Items. Elections, earthquakes and religious gatherings have furnished interesting topics of thought for the people for several weeks past, but the excitement over these things have about subsided, and the pulse of this community again beats at its nor? mal rate. Our good people are energetically en? gaged just now in gathering their crops. Owing to dry weather, rust and a slight sprinkle of frost, the cotton crop is open? ing unusually fast, and If the present rate is maintained till the first of November, it will all be open and the yield somewhat below what was expected a few weeks since. Rain is needed very badly just now. Many of our farmers have not, sowed their fall oats and cannot now do so until it rains. A large acreage will be sown in small grain. The present year cannot be regarded as ,| one favorable to the farmer, but if we judge of this by the improvements we see going on in this neighborhood, we come to the conclusion it is not so bad afte ?11? that there must Tie a margin of profit somewhere. Mr. Marion Smith will soon have completed a neat and substantial dwelling containing seven rooms. Mr. Tommie Welborn is also haying some substantial improvements made. The ma? terial for the Lebanon school-house has already been laid down, and its erection will be commenced in a few days. The building will be large and commodious and finished up in modorn style. A notable feature of the Lebanon com? munity is found in that genuine spirit of progress that her people are making in things, moral and mental, as well as things material. There is perhaps no community in Anderson County that is more self-sustaining than this,'and but few, if any, can boast of better schools, either Sabbath or secular. Mr. W. P. Holland is principal of our secular school at. this place. ? His salary has been raised from four to five hundred dollars for another year, thus showing that the work he is doing is appreciated. The Lebanon Sunday School has recent? ly purchased a new organ. Through the energy of Mrs. T. T. Wakefield a beautiful communion set ha s been secured for the church, and used for the first time on last Sabbath. Mose Anon. The Feuilleton Stock Show. On Thursday, Oct. 21st;, old Pendleton will be in her glory. Always noted for her fine farming lands and stock, she is determined not to lose an atom of her justly earned reputation, but rather to add to it fresh laurels. She is ably supported by the surrounding country and her sister villages and towns. Recently some of her enterprising breeders, feeling the ne? cessity of a good place to show the gait of their colts to intending purchasers, as well as to develop their speed, have organ? ized the Pendletoii Driving Association. They have now prepared a beautiful one half mile track, not far out of town, and there propose to have trotting and run? ning races on the day of the stock show. With such horses against each other as Mr. Lewis' Margin, Mr. HanckePs High? lander, and Mr. Bowen's Lee, some lively work will have to be done. Mr. Biemann, of Walhalla, will probably enter his mare, Tene B, in this race. There will be a cIubs for two year-olds, and also other classes to suit the capabilities of various horses. Mr. Merriek, of Walhalla, will be present, and if the programme will permit, will drive his widely-known and highly val? ued "Bibi" a fast mile. The stock show will be held on tho grounds of the Driving Association, and the prospects for an unusually large rep? resentation of the various breeds of cattle, horses, sheep and swiuc, are remarkably line. To every one owning improved stock, this is an opportunity not to be lost. Turn out in full force and bring your stock, and in friendly rivalry gain much information as well as impart some. The exhibition is free and open to all. The railroads offer excursion rates, and efforts are being made with strong "prob? abilities of success to have an excursion train from Columbia. Let every one who can come out that day and give us an encouraging smile. That will be the extent of the cost. Committee. Postofflce Hours.

Essay by W. F. Cox. W. F. Cox, Sec IN MEMOBIAM. At a called meeting of the Faculty of the South Carolina College, held October 11th, UWii, the fol? lowing action was adopted: Tho Faculty, having just learned the sad Intel? ligence of the death of DANIEL ROBERT TOW? ERS, A. B., which occurred at his home in Ander? son, S. C, on the morning of the 10th inst., deem it appropriate to express their sorrow for this sig? nal bereavement. Daniel Robert Towers ontercd this College as a Souhmoro in the fall of 1882. He was, from the first, a student of marked ability and promise, dis? tinguished alike by intelligence and docility, and by the purity and gentleness of his character and disposition. Theso qualities gained for him the regard of his teachers, and tho affectionate confi? dence of his fellow-students, among whom he had such respect and influence as are rarely won du? ring College life. He graduated In 1885 with tho highest honors of an exceptionally able class. He was then appointed Tutor and Secretary of the Faculty, and In these offices he had confirmed tho esteem in which he was universally reg a: ded, and had especially endeared himself to his own classes and to the Faculty. He had also accomplished, with honors, the first, year of a course of Law and of post graduate study for the Degree of Mastor of Arts. To high intellectual distinction he added a character combining quiet strength with the ut? most modesty and sweetness of temper, and this i crowned by the faith and the graces of a consis? tent Christian profession. No young man of his time united in himself moro elements of promise , for highest success and- usefulness in life. His example and memory aro a boon to all who havo known him, and his untimely death is a loss of no common magnitude to his family, his College and his State. Therefore, bo it Resolved, That in respect to the memory of Dan? iel Robert Towers the exercises of this College bo suspended for this day, and that the Faculty re? gret that the hour of the funeral did not permit the Faculty and students of the S. C. College to be represented on that occasion. Resolved, That we place on record our high esti? mate of the character of the deceased as a student, and of his most valuable services as an officer of the College. Resolved, That we tender to tho bereaved fami? ly tho expression of our deep sympathy In so se? vere a loss, and our assurance of the consolation belonging to the memory of his noblo and Chris? tian life. Resolved, That this action bo published in the Columbia Register, tho Charleston News and Courier and tho Anderson papers. R. J. DAVIDSON, Acting Secretary.
