To all subscribers who are in arrears who will come forward and pay their dues '.' and erne year in advance, we will give a first rate obituary notice gratis in case it kills them. Our former young townsman, Mr. Prue Fant, paid us a call on Tuesday. Mr. Fant hau been in the West for the past six years, but is now at his father's home near Pendleton. Don't begin the year by reducing your assessment for the suppcrt of tho preach? er, or by cutting off your subscription to the Intelligencer. That sort of "econ? omy" is on the wrong line. Abbeville Medium: "Trial Justice R. B. A. Robinson, of Anderson County, was in town last week. He 1b a substan? tial man, and holds the scales of justice even among the people? of his jurisdic? tion." An Anderson young man took a young lady to the dance the other night, walked several squares and didn't say but three words. Don't think that he was bashful, dear reader, he didn't have an opportu? nity to say any more. Abbeville Medium: "Col. T. J. Roberts, of Anderson, is in town, and looks as sub? stantial and vigorous almost as be did years ago. He will be glad to shake hands with all his old friends whether they want a book or not." The City Council on Tuesday afternoon sustained the findings and sentence of Mayor Tolly in the matter of the City Council vs. F. M. Builer and Ernest Fant for selling liquor without a license. Mayor Tolly is being sustained all around. A quaint writer says: "I have seen wo? men so delicate tha'i they are afraid to ride for fear of the horses running away; afraid to sail for fear the boat should over? set, and afraid to walk for fear the dew might fall; but I never saw one afraid to get married." Two certain young men of Columbia, S. C, are anxious to form the acquaint? ance of two up-country girls with a view to matrimony. Tho young men are high toned and honorable, thongh neither one Is very handsome. Upon application we will furnish their names. It seems that the Anderson County boys are popular students in Furman University, judging from the number of tht m elected officers, of the Pholosopian Society for the ensuing year. The Society has ten officers, four of them being from Anderson County, as follows: J. R. Ste phenson, Secretary; C. L. Dean, Senior Censor: V. H. Watson, Junior Critic Marion Gassaway, Treasurer. One of the best things in the world to be Is a boy?it requires no experience, thongh it needs some practice to be a good one. The disadvantage of the position is that it does not last long enough. It is soon over. Just as you ge t used to being a boy you have to be something else, with a good deal more work to do, and not half so much fun. And yet every boy is anxious to be a man, and very uneasy with the restrictions that are put upon him as a boy. Iii We understand that our townsman, Mr. H. G. Seudday, is making arrangements so as to permit him hereafter to devote the most of his time to religious work and to the development of the Young Men's Christian Associations in the State. At? torneys in tho State desiring law books might find^ to their interest to commu? nicate with him. Mrs. Judie Cartee, wife of the late Mr. Reuben Cartee, died at her home near Williamston, on the 27th of January, in the 86th year of her age. Mrs. Cartee was for more than for forty years a member of Big Creek Church, and always lived up to her profession. She was highly es? teemed by her friends and neighbors, who will never forget her many deeds of kind? ness. 8he leaves four children to mourn her death. Her remains were laid to rest in the Big Creek graveyard. Rev. J. W. WoUing preached two ex? cellent sprmons in the city last Sunday. Tha services at night were held in the Presbyterian Church, which had been tendered the Methodist congregation. The Church was crowded to its utmost seating capacity. Mr. WoUing alluded to his residence in Anderson in a very tender and affectionate manner, and his remarks brought tears to many eye?. He will carry the best wishes of our whole people to bis new home in Brazil. Tyler (Texas) Democrat and Reporter: "Married, at the residence of Col. S. H. Cobb, step-father of the bride, on the ev-aning of the 2Gth January, Mr. Bryan M. Bell asd Miss Emma Dawson, all of this city?Rev. R. T. Yates officiating. Mr. Bell was born and raised in Tyler, and has ho3ts of friends here. Miss Daw son has resided in Tyler several years, and is greatly beloved for her accomplish? ments and her goodness of heart. They are a noble pair, worthy of each other." Rev. John J. Taylor, of Lexington, Kentucky, preached on last Sabbath morning and evening in the Baptist Church in Anderson, and made a strong impression upon the large audiences which greeted him on both occasions. He is a polished speaker, and forceful and able reasoner. The Baptist congregation were delighted with Mr. Taylor, and will doubtless extend to him a call to the pas? torate here. Wo should be pleased to see him accept, for such a man would be a valuable acquisition to our growing city. The Supreme Court has filed its deoision in the matter of the application for a man? damus to compel Mayor Tolly to hear and judicially de-termine all matters of law and fact involved in the late prohibi? tion election in Anderson. The Court dismissed tho application, holding that the Mayor is bound by the return of the managers. Chief Justice Simpson deliv? ered the opinion of the Court, which was concurred in by Justice Mclver and Mc Gowan. The anti-prohibitionists propose beginning a case in the Circuit Court to set the election aside. List of letters remaining in the Post office for the week ending February 9. Persons calling for these letters will please say they are advertised: Mrs. Elic M. Brown, Miss Lucy Brooks (3), S. M. Brown, Miss Pattie Craft. C. S. Davis, Ma? rion Elam, Jackson Ellis, Jhoney Flinon, Miss Minnie Kay, Mrs. Lou Thompson, Miss Carrie Thompson, Miss Barney Thompson, J. H. Tucker, Phillis Thomas, P. H. Valentine, Mrs. Syndy Watson, col., Mrs. Carrie Walker, Josyfean Wat j soa, Lncy Williams, F. M. Wilson. I Miss Samnella Brown, one of Ander? son's most excellent young ladies, has j volunteered her services as a Missionary to China, in^response to a call from the Missionary Board of the M. E. Church, South. Miss Brown will shortly leave for Nashville, Tenn., where she will con? fer rith the Board, and if accepted, will at once prepare to leave for her field of labor. Miss Brown is in every way qualified for the Missionary work, and it is very commendable in her to offer her services to the Master in that distant land. Her offer certainly shows a brave heart and a strong desire to extend the cause of Christ. Last Sunday morning, after the regular services, the Methodist congregation de? cided to raise enough money to complete their new Church, and in a few minutes had 82,100 subscribed. This is in addition to what the members bad already aub i scribed, and speaks well for the congrega? tion. This amount is not sufficient to I finish the Church, bot the work will be ' pushed as rapidly as possible, and the I building committee hope to have the bal I ance subscribed by the time it is needed. I Persons desiring to contribute to the 1 building fund will find any member of j the committeo always ready to receive it. j The building of this handsome Church is ! an exposition of the devotion and effi? ciency of the Church work of the Metho? dists in Anderson. On Thursday morning, 3rd inst,, the community around Toney Creek, In Bel ton Township, were shocked to hear that Mr. Elihu Smith had been found dead about one hundred and fifty yards fiom the house in which he was living. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, J. J. Trussell, Trial Justice, acting as Coroner, empanelled a jury of inquest with J. M. Cox as foreman. After inves? tigating the affair, the following verdict was rendered: "That the deceased came to his death from a wound from a shot? gun, inflicted by his own hand, whilst laboring under temporary insanity." It seems from the evidence brought out at the inquest that Mr. Smith had been un? well for some time, and at times showed symptoms of insanity. On Thursday morning he took his gun and, starting off, said he was going to kill a rabbit. He had been gone only a short time when the report of a gun was heard. Shortly afterwards Mrs. Smith and a neighbor, who had come in, went to look for Mr. Suiith, and found him dead. He had placed the muzzle of his gun, which was a long single-barreled shot-gun, against his right temple, firing it with a fofSed stick, which he had carefully prepared for the purpose. The whole load entered his head, shattering his skull. Mr. Smith was an uncle of Jap. Davis, who is now confined in the County Jail for the mur? der of his wife, which occurred in this County last Summer. It is believed that this terrible deed preyed upon his mind so heavily that it produced insanity. He was in the 63rd year of his age, and was a poor, but hard-working, honest, inoffen? sive citizen. A wife and son survive him. A Demonstration at Pelzer. Tke Greenville News of the 1st inst. con? tained the following account of the pre? sentation of a beautiful walking-cane to Cipt. E. A. Smythe, President of the Pelzer Factory, by his enployees: "On Saturday evening there was an ex? ceedingly pleasant affair at Pelzer, -which is the more noticeable in these times when the relations between employer and em? ployees are so frequently otherwise than j I cordial. In accordance with preconcerted j secret arrangement the entire force of the Pelzer mill, which includes the whole population of the town, gathered at the residence of President E. A. Smytho, where the Pelzer brass band serenaded him. Captain Smythe was then called for and when he appeared was heartily cheered. W. G. Fields, who is employed in the mill, stepped forward and in be? half of the operatives presented Capt. Smythe with a very handsome- ebony gold headed cane, making an earnest, forceful little speech. Ho said the people of Pel? zer appreciated the president's unvarying kindness to them and ceaseless, watchful coro for their welfare and interests; that bo had proved himself to be their wiso counsellor and truo friend, that they v;ero grateful for it ami wisbod him to acJjbpt tbo gift us a tokoii of thoir affection and regard, accompanying it with the hope that as ho leaned on the cane for support he would rcmombor that ho had ever the cordial support and love of its givers. "Tho presentation had been arranged among the mill hands themselves and so quietly that none of tho officers of the mill knew what was being done and the president was entirely surprised, "He responded very briefly and with evidences of deep emotion, declaring that the knowledge that he had won the con? fidence and regard of the people made him very happy and that he would prize the evidence of their kindly feeling for him more highly than he could express. "The presentation and reception were marked by so much strong and honest feeling on both sides that the occasion must be long remembered by all connect? ed with it, and must do much to deepen and continue the remarkable happy rela? tions already existing between the Pelzer company and its employees of all grades. "The cane is a beautiful one and was furnished by S. 3VI. Snider & Co., of Greenville. It is engraved : 'Capt. E. A. Smythe; from employees Pelzer Mfg. Co.. Jan'y, 1887.' " Lost or Mislaid. Mr. Editor : The books of Hopewell Chursh have been lost or mislaid. Any one knowing anything about the books, and will give any information that will lead to their recovery will confer a great favor upon the Church. J. B. Smith. Declines the Honor. Mr. Editor : I understand that I get the credit of those rebell?nis resolutions passed in Slabtown in reference to the new Road Law. I am not one to claim any honor that is not due me, and as I was not at the meeting therefore did not know what the resolutions were until I saw them publish? ed in your paper. ? John M. Glenn. A Good Suggestion. Mb. Editor : The Experimental Sta? tion soon to be located (11th April) will be of great value to the farmers of the country in determining many undecided questions, in revealing many things that are now hidden from us, in disclosing other avenues of profits to us which we do not practice or perchance know of, and in many other ways helping us to see more clearly through the mists that sur? round us. Much light will go out from it^ and tho nearer we are to the source the more of it we will get. I would BUggest that individuals, clubs and communities seo what can be done among themselves to secure the Station for our County, and that we have a meet? ing in the Court House on the 2Sth inst., at 12 o'clock, to consider the matter. All persons interested in the progress of the County are invited to be present. D. K; Norris, Pres. F. C. A. C. Piercctown Items. The long and severe freezes which oc? curred in December and January have almost entirely destroyed the Fall crop of oats in this section ; but our energetic farmers, to supply the deficiency, are sow iug a large crop of Spring oats. The citizens of the upper corner of Garvin Township have just completed au elegant schoolbouse, in which Mr. Wm. Lee, one of Anderson County's roost effi? cient teachers, is conducting a flourishing school. The new location will be known j as "Lynn's New School House." Col. Jameson, our worthy County Com? missioner, who is located in this section, is making the necessary preparations to have the public roads repaired. The Colonel is going to insist upon a thorough trial of Maj. Murray's "more efficient road law." Mr. Wilber Smith and family, of Daw son County, Ga., have located in our midst. We extend to them a hearty wel? come. There will be preaching twice a month during the balance of this year at Liberty Spring School House. Rev. D. I. Spear? man will conduct the services on the second Sunday in each month, and Rev. Mr. Atta way on the fourth. Pierce. Lebanon Items. The health of this immediate neighbor? hood is, as a general thing, very good at present. The farmers are preparing their land for another crop, which should | be largely of corn. The school at this place, under the con? trol of Mr. W. P. Holland, assisted by Miss Mattie Clarke, numbors more than one hundred pupils. They need a larger school house. We hope the new school honse, which has been commenced for some time, will be completed at an early day. Lebanon has one of the best attended Sunday Schools in the County, more than a hundred persons being present nearly every Sunday, On last Sunday the School was addressed by Rev. J. S. Murray, after which he preached an ex? cellent sermon to a well-filled house. The Lebanon Literary Society, which is composed of both young ladies and young men, and the young men's Debat? ing Society, have made a decided im? provement in their manners?that of wearing away their timidity. Some of our neighbors are speaking of going to Birmingham, with a view of set? tling there If they like the place, f Williamston Items. Our town is saddened by the death of Mr. Willis Robertson, a son of Mrs. Re? becca Robertson, formerly of Pendleton, after an illness of a few days with fever. Ho was unconscious nearly all the time. Hi3 spirit was called from this world on Sabbath evening about 9 o'clock, leaving a strickened family to mourn his death. Miss Sallie Donnald is recovering slow? ly from measels, after a long and painful illness. This section of the County has been visited by measels, mumps and whooping cough, but none have proven fatal. Our prayer meetings continue to grow in interest. They with our Sabbath Schools have become the most interesting feature of our little town. The College moves on nicely, with new girls coming in every few days. The meetings of the Juvenile Literary Society are yery pleasant and improving to the children, - Last Sabbath Rev. Mr. Hiott preached at Ninety-Six, by a special invitation from the Baptist congregation of that town. They would do well to procure his ser? vices, as they anticipate doing, notwith? standing ho is filling other ,'pulpits, per? haps doing more than he is able in feeble state of his health. He is a live, working Christian, and, as was with Abraham, of old, "the Lord will bless them that bless Him." Rev. Mr. Betts preachod a most excel? lent sermon last Sunday on the subject, "Conscience." Rov. Mr. Burts also preached from tho same subjoct in Big Creek at the same hour. Both sermons were highly appreciated, and wero after? wards spoken of by members of the two congregations. A. P. N, Call and see the beautiful line of Valen? tines at the Book Store of Geo. W.

Mr. Editor : When the private citizens of a community meet in mass and bind themselves together, asking others to join them in rebelling against the laws of a government, it is time for the lovers of everything that works for a common good to ask them to bait. If revolt is the object of the Slab-town meeting, pray some one tell us what they want to accomplish. The facts, as shown in their discussion and resolutions, and especially the personal knowledge we have of those present at the meeting, bear us out in thinking that they are politicians, soreheads and road law evaders. In the Senatorial fight last sum? mer Mr. Murray had few friends, as the polls show at this place, and the prohibi? tion olection next summer will show that he has many enemies here because they love whiskey, while the records prove that Senator Murray does not. We speak that which wo know. The preamble and reso? lutions adopted by this meeting is a slur upon the intelligent, law-abiding citizens of Slabtown, because the sole object in meet? ing was to express indignation at Senator Murray and the road law. The deception in seeking to soft-soap their avowed enmity is cowardly when they have, we understand, threatened per? sonal violence to him if he were to pass through the community. While they con? sider the new unreasonable law, as they term it, an error of the head and not of the heart, we consider the attack made by them in this meeting was due to an error of a whiskey stomach, and the general prostration of the principles of man? hood which should underlie their society. They have never learued that it is for a common good that the gov? ernment makes road laws, and a people without roads and a desire for them, with due regard for the law, are not civilized. Without roads a country can have neither society, church nor State, so that the Slab town meeting has preached its own funeral, because they say they want more of the present sort of roads, and the action of j their people prove it. This community has the poorest roads, and does the least to improve them, of any community in the county. Many times one-half of one day is all they work, and two or three days would almost kill them. Even with this sort of work these kid-glove road-workers will shrink, hiring a mule or a negro, and if they do not care to do that they will go through with the manual of shoulder arms, (which is a three-year-old hoe,) and keep them shouldered all the time, until the overseer languidly says that will do, boys, until next spring, and next spring the process is repeated until now a traveler would not know whether he was on a high? way or in a wide-bottom Slabtown gully. The facts are too plain. These men have evaded the old road law, and the new one gets them down to business, with no dodg? ing. This hurts, and they kick. Not a great while ago a whole company refused to work in Slabtown, and when they agreed to work they were sent back over the road three times before it was received, and then it was hardly passable. No wonder they protest against the enforcement of the law. Before, overseers and hands had the matter in their own control to do as they pleased. Now, it is all in the hands of the County Commissioners. They are respon? sible, and liable to prosecution if they fail to perform their duties. An overseer ap? pointed by them, with blanks, will hardly fail to do his duty when sworn to do it. Then, as he is not involved with the delin? quent, he will hardly perjure himself and lay himself liable to prosecution to excuse his neighbor from work. Yes, these men have manipulated the road law nicely heretofore, but now when the band begins to play the elephant will have to dance, The law is plain and complete. It is work or pay. A few delinquents brought to their senses by the County Commissioners will be sufficient, and if the Commissioners do not do their duty they can be prosecuted for their neglect. This would have a wholesome effect, if necesuary, on the road law howlers all over the County. The law can and will be enforced to its fullest extent. That this is the best law possible we are not prepared to say, for, beyond question, a system of taxation would be more just to all, but jusi; such - ignorance and obstinacy as exhibited by the Slab town meeting has retarded the making and enforcing of every new law. If this meet? ing desired a better law, one more just, more equal or wiser, one rot oppressive or tyrannical in their judgment, one to which they could willingly submit, soul and body, without mental reservation, why in the name of common sense did they, not get up such a law and send to the delegation, and ask them not to pass the law which they consider burdensome ? We are sure they had ample time after the bill was in? troduced tohavedoneso. No, they would rather kick and growl. Like a petted child, they had their own way, and when the reins begin to tighten, they get mad. If with all their wisdom, zeal, logic and patriotism, they did not speak at the proper time, if the election for County Represen? tatives was fair, and the road law was passed without fraud, they should abide by the law. Most assuredly they do not voice the better sentiments of the thinking, law-abiding citizens of the County. If they want better laws let them roll up their sleeves and go about getting them through the proper channels. Let them learn what they need, and then by the ballot put men in office who will make just laws, but let them be sure to know that they are justified in rejecting both the law and the law makers before they con? demn them. It does harm to any community for its people to meet in mass and refuse to obey the laws. Those who live in other por? tions of the County, who have as much interest in the County's welfare as they have, join in asking them to stop and consider what they have done. Then, if they are determined not to abide by the laws of the country, let them leave the County, and lease or purchase a territory of their own, where they can make their own laws, A Citizen.

McCully, Catiicart & Co.?Gentlemen: The Barbour Cotton Seed and Grain Crusher which I bought of you last January has given me satisfaction in every respect. I can crush more seed per hour than you recommended the Ma? chine to do, having speeded my Machine to crush 60 bushels per bonr, which it did easily with about four horse power. The Seed when crushed is in excellent condi? tion for use as a Fertilizer, and I am satisfied that farmers all over the South should use them as a matter of economy in the use of Cotton Seed as a Fertilizer. All my customers are pleased with the Machine, and I am having considerable addi? tional demands to gin cottou from parties who desire their seed crushed. Yours truly, G. S. WILLIFORD. Do not forget that we are giving our attention especially to? GROCERIES. PROVISIONS and HEAVY GOODS And can supply your wants at the lowest figures.
