Ahbeyllle Press and Banner: "The editor of the Press and Banner went to Anderson last Friday, and along the road he saw very little work being done in the fields. More work was,going on within the cor? porate limits of Anderson than along the whole line between Anderson and Abbe? ville," Frequently of late the trains on the S. V- R? R? have been arriving in the city considerably behind Schedule time. The delays are caused by the heavy freight business. The freight and passenger trains should be separated, and the delays would not then inconvenience passengers or keep back the mail. Mr. Jeff. Gray, wbosa feet and hands were frozen while he was in a drunken stupor one night during Christmas week, died last Thursday. A week prior to his death the. physicians amputated one of his feet, and expected to amputate the other as soon as he bad recovered suffi? ciently fro m the first amputation. Mrs. Nellie Webb, wife of Mr; Samuel Webb, died at her'home in Yarennes. Township on Wednesday morning, after a brief illness from measles, aged about 66 years. Mrs. Webb was a most excel? lent lady, and the news of her death will be heard with sorrow by many friends. Her remains will be interred at FlaS Rock Church to-day. Our young friend, Dr. W. W_ Watkins, who has been in New York for several months past pursuing a post-graduate's course in medicine, has returned to his home at Pen die ton, and is better pre? pared than ever to administer to the sick. He is an excellent young man, and the Intelligencer wishes him a long and prosperous life. Lola Hurst, the wonderful Georgia girl, was married the other day to, Paul Atkin? son, who', it will be remembered, was her manager while she was traveling through the country giving exhibitions. We wouldn't like to be in his shoes, for whenever he doesn't do exactly what Lula tells him, she can apply a little of her electricity and make him toe the mark. Mr. Moses Reed died at the residence of his son, Mr. W. J. Reed, in Fork Town? ship, on the 6th inst., after an illness of about eighteen days. Mr. Reed had reached the ripe old age of 81 years, and had resided in Fork Township nearly all his life. He was an upright, worthy citi? zen, anrHud the good will and esteem of an extensive acquaintance. Since his boyhood he had been an exemplary mem? ber of the AndersonviUe Baptis t Church.

These gen. tleroen are energetic, progressive business men, and are offering their customers goods of the highest standard at the low? est prices. 'The Generostee is certainly worthy of a liberal patronage, and will repay those who use it. There is no hum bng about it, and in the analysis made by the State Department last year it was shown to be better than clainred by its makers. It has given excel lent satisfac? tion, and all persons wanting fertilizers will serve their own interests by calling on Brown Bk*. A very successful Tournament was held at Easley last Monday, in which eighteen knights participated. Anderson County was well represented, a majority of the knights being from this County- The first prize was won by Mr. L. B. Tucker, of ?his County, the second by Mr. W. D. Glenn, of Liberty, the third by Mr. A. T. Newell, and the fourth by Mr. D. J. Tuck? er, both of this County. A ball was given that night, when Miss May Neal was crowned Queen of Love and Beauty, and Misses Jennie Rosamond, Corine Tucker, and Lila McCann were crowned first, second and third Maids of Honor respect? ively. The Anderson boys are hard to beat at anything. List of letters remaining in the Post office for the week ending February 16.

It has been suggested that a meeting of the citizens of the city be called at an early day for the purpose of organizing a "Cemetery Association." The suggestion is a good one, and should be carried out. We believe that all of our citizens will agree that a Cemetery is a necessity, and if some person would interest himself enough to get up a public meeting, the Cemetery would be a certainty. In a few more years there will be no place in An? derson to bury the dead, as our two grave? yards are about filled up. By all means let us have the cemetery, and the sooner we get it the better. What say our citi? zens ? Our columns are open for any sug. gestlons in reference to the matter. Last Saturday morning Rev. Elijah White, a colored resident of this city, dropped dead at the corner of John and Main streets, near the Reese House. He had left his home, in the southwestern limits of the city, to go the C. & G. depot to take the cars for Honea Path, where he bad an appointment to preach on Sunday. When near Main street the approaching train was heard, and he began running. He ran for several hundred yards, and when he reached the corner of John street he was seen to stagger and fail. Several persons soon went to him and when ex? amined it was discovered that he was dead. His remains were carried home, and Coroner Nance at once impanelled a jury and held an inquest. After hearing the statements of Dr. Nardin and several witnesses, the jury rendered a verdict that death Was caused from heart disease. The deceased was an upright, honest man, and was esteemed by both white and col? ored. By his industry and frugal habits, - he had accumulated a nice property. He was a member of the colored branch of the Southern Methodist Church, and was about 66 years ~ - We have received a circular from Col. E. R. Drayton, Grand Worthy Patriarch of tho Sons of Tomporanco, which in? forms us that the National Propogation Committee of the Sons of Temperance of, North America have employed Mr. Ed? ward Carswell, of Canada, one of the most eloquent and distinguished lecturers and writers on temperance on this conti? nent, to visit South Carolina about the middle of the present ? mtb, in the inter eat of the Order he represents and of .the cause of temperance in general. During his tour he will be accompanied by Mr. Charles M. Douglas, of Columbia, S. C, a Past Grand Worthy Patriarch of the Or? der, who has been appointed to aid in the work of organizing new Divisions, and they will be in Anderson on a date of which due public notice will be given. A large audience will greet Mr. Cars well when he comes to Anderson.1 Messrs. Lapold Cohen and S. A. Arn stein have formed la partnership for the conduct of a general Dry Goods business^ in the City of New York. The firm, which will be known as Cohen & Arn? stein, have leased ? Bloomingdale's old stand, at the corner of 56th street and -Third avenue for a period of twenty-five years, and expect to commence business about the 1st of May. The property which they have under lease includes five large stores six stories high, besides base meut and sub-cellar, and is admirably adapted to the business of the firm, which will be conducted on the same principle as R. H. Macy & Co., and other large im? porters and retailers of dry goods in New York. Mr. Arnstein established the New York Cash Store in Anderson about thir? teen years ago, and did business here for several years, during which time he made many friends in Anderson. He is a thorough business man, and may be depended on to make his new business a success. His many friends in Anderson will be pleased to note his success. The relations between this house and the New York Cash Store, under the management of M. B. Arnstein, in Anderson, will doubtless be close, giving the latter the advantage of a skilled and careful im? porting resident buyer in the City of New York. Grand and Petit Jurors.

At a meeting of the Honea Path Divis? ion Sons of Temperance, held on the twelfthjday of February inst., the follow? ing preamble and resolutions were adopted: Whereas, the sale and intemperate use of spirituous liquors is acknowledg? ed by all to be a great evil in our laud ; and, whereas, our people now have the opportunity of prohibiting the sale thereof in Anderson County. Therefore, belt Resolved, By the Honea Path Division of Sons of Temperance: First, That a mass meeting of the people of Anderson Coun? ty be called to meet in the Court House, in the City of Anderson, at eleven o'clock a. m., on Saturday before the second Sun? day in March next, to organize the lov? ers of Temperance against the sale of in? toxicating liquors in Anderson County. Second, That this meeting be requested to appoint committees in each Township to circulate petitions among the real estate owners, praying tho County Com? missioners to order an election to be held in August, according to the provisions of the Prohibition Bill passed by the last General Assembly of South Carolina. ' Third, That the advocates of Temper? ance in the City of Anderson be requested to make all the necessary arrangements for the above mentioned meeting, and that the friends of Temperance through? out the County be invited to present such business to the meeting as they may deem proper.

J. B. Watkins, R. L. Dtjoan, H. H. Watkins, M. B. D?NLAP, Committee. Flat Bock Items. Rev. H. M. Allen preached one of his well prepared sermons last Sabbath, and it was listened to with much interest. The Church has discontinued Its Satur? day meetings, and hereafter there will be preaching on the second and fourth Sun? days. We were glad to see Rev. W. H. King in our midst. His calls are always ap? preciated. Mr. W. A. MoFarland has been very ill for some time, but is improving now very fast, Capt. Estees, the section boss on the S. V. R. R. has moved into our midst. We extend him a cordial welcome. The school at tills place is under the management of Mr. W. R. Todd, who is proving himself a faithful and competent teacher. Mr. Walter Masters met with a very serious accident last Sabbath. His horse became frightened and ne was thrown from the buggy, causing his ankle to be dislocated. Mr. E. B. Hall is terracing his land. He is one of our most energetic farmers, The farm of Mr. S. C. Hall is now un? der the management of Mr. T. P. McClel lan, who seems to understand his busi? ness. # With the exception of. measles, the health of the community is very good. Flat. Eureka Items. The public schools in Broadway Town? ship are in good working order, at this time. We have six, all of which are under the management of female teach? ers. Miss Tallie Keown is at Pine Grove, Miss Alice K. Major at Glory, Miss Nan? nie Harkneas at Neal's Creek, Miss Lizzie Anderson at High Shoals, Miss Lula A. Todd at Coladona, and Miss Zella Camp? bell at Eureka. All. of these ladies have first grade certificates. They are doing a great and good work, a work that will effect civilization and religion in the dis? tant future. Doubtless some of those who are being trained mentally will fill places of sacred trust and honor in the world. From the present indications it is now a settled fact that the education of the youth of our County is placed in the hands of women, .';hd who can, who dure, resist such a posjpr for montal develop? ment? Thoy c?ihiot bo praised too much or paid too well for their labor. They should be well cared for. And this cold, cloudy Monday morning, aro they and the children in comfortable houses ? As far as our knowledge extends, there is not a comfortable school house in the entire Township. This ought not so to be. Our teachers are wondering what has become of the School Commissioner They think he ought to visit them in their school-rooms. We think so, too, Come over, Colonel, and survey this part of your educational vineyard, and see if the little vines are started to run In tbe right direc tion. The Law-Breaking Party. Mb. Editor : Sir, I am a citizen of An derson County, and am proud of the citi zenship. Anderson wears the laurels of being the banner County of the State She led off in red-shirtism in 1876, and led the van in the change of the Fence Law which has now spread all over the State and other States are following in the great economic enterprise, and she has led off in other new enterprises. She has innovated old fogyism, and ?er people are ever ready to step upland out in untried fields of good economy. But there have been a few of her citizens that are malcontents, .always pulling back and ready to growl at those who are leading her on in her upward ca reer for good. For instance there were those, as you well recollect, who were afraid of the red shirts, and swore abont the Stock Law. Said they w^-ld shoot and play thunder generally, if the law was was put in force. Well, they did not do it and they are now the best satisfied peopl on that question you ever saw, because they now see it was a good thing, and saves their own pockets, and that class are always satisfied when a thing suits their pockets. And just so it will be with those that are now howling about the new Road Law. They will sep, when they cannot help it. Bat suppose there were none that could see the future benefit of a change iu law and custom of a country, would a. change ever be made for the better ? Nay we would be on a dead standstill, and old fogyism would hold us to the grouod eter? nally; and if a people do not progress it is a truism that they retrograde. As to the new Road Law, I believe it will be the means of having good roads all over the County, if the County Commissioners will have backbone enough to carry it out to the letter; and I am compelled to think all thinking men of the County will sustain them in so doing. I predict that if they do they will be the most popular set of Commissioners after they do carry out the law, and the people have occular demon? stration of its benefits, that have ever been elected to that office, and in lien of the cursing that is now hurled at our Repre? sentatives who enacted the law, they will receive the praise and blessings of their constituents. It is palpable and plain that something had to be done to improve tbe facilities of travel through the County. The roads are intolerable. Oar Grand Jurors and the Judge on the Bench have been trying for the ten past years to get the roads worked; but the lameness and slack? ness of the old Road Law gave rise to slackness, laziness, and indifference upon the part of the road-working hands and road officers to such an extent that travel has been greatly impeded. Loss and ex? pense is the result to the public, and espe? cially to the farmers of our County. Our roads have been an eye-sore for a long time, and as much as we are in advance of other Counties in enterprise, we are woe? fully behind some of them in road-work? ing. Our adjoining County?-Pickens--^ though, a mountain County, is far ahead of us in having good roads, which is admitted by every one that travels in that Connty. It is, I suppose, because at road-working time, the Pickens people are most always in a fuss, and some get fighting mad. This opposition at Slabtown is a step probably in the direction to get the roads well worked in that section, which has not been done in a long time. If they will just cut up until the road authorities get mad, then I think they will have to work the roads, as they never have done before ; and I say go it, boys, you will be apt to catch it. I am surprised that when our Representatives have tightened up the Road Law so that it can be better put in force in Anderson County, there is made by a few malcontents a howl. You know Sam Jones said it is the hit dog that always hollers. It was a night howl in the section of Slabtown. That is, a few of that section held a night meeting, not to pray for the good of their country, but howl and vent their unpatriotic feelings, and passed some atrocious resolutions pro? claiming that they would break the laws of the land unhesitatingly. That they would work the roads just as they pleased, and felt like, or as much as they thought was necessary, in their unpatriotic judgment. Well, if you take as the measure of their judgment the amount they have done to tbe public roads in the past, they will do, in a manner, almost nothing. I am. in? formed that some of the roads in that sec? tion have not had a lick struck on them the past year. But I will say in vindica? tion of some of the good citizens of Slab town, I am informed the best citizens of that locality had nothing to do with that night meeting, and did not howl; hut stayed at home and prayed for the good of their country. They had no idea of re? volting against the civil laws of the land. They thought if a body of citizens could, by holding night meetings, and with impuni? ty defy the officers of law in one respect, they could do so in any other case that might not happen to suit their narrow views, and such things might lead to' a very bad state of affairs. Well, Mr. Editor, I am perfectly astounded at such.proceed ings in a civilized community. I was going to say it was too thin, bat that is not the word. It is too narrow?not 20 feet, as a road should be?but not wider than a hog path. They did it not in daylight, but they did it in the dark. Well, it will amount to nothing with the road authori? ties. They, if I am not mistaken, were not born in the night-time to be scared by night owls. There are some that object to the hours to work each day on the roads, and others say that is the best part of the new Law, and I am satisfied it will cause equality in the work of the hands, so that men that are willing to work will not have it all to do, while others, that are not will? ing to work, can do many little jobs?go to mill and go to town?and then go to work the roads at about 10 or 11 o'clock, after others have done almost one-half day's work, and nothing said about it, and those that go to the roads late are sure to be the fellows who loiter about in the shade on the road more than any one else, because they do not want to work the roads at all, and never did, and these are a class of peo? ple who think it not just that they should work the roads at all, as they are not prop? erly holders. They say they have no pro? duce to haul to market, own no vehicle to travel on the road. Well, if they own no property that is no reason they should do nothing for the good of the government, Their burden in taxes is lighter than the property owners, and should they not do a few days work on the roads for the public benefit, and thereby help to pay for the benefit they receive from the government in the protection of their persons and* the good they receive from civil society?a peaceful sleeping at night, and no one being allowed to cut their throats or infringe upon their rights. What do oar criminal Courts cost in our County every year ? It amounts to thousands of dollars.. Who pay forii? Not the man who has no property. Well, what do we have criminal Courts for? What good do they do ? They are to punish wrong doer ?murderers and thieves, and all law-break era. Why punish them ? It is to deter them from cutting the throats of that roan who has no property, as well as other per sons. Yes, he receives a great benefit from the force of law. Well, if he cannot help ' sustain his country in the shape of taxes because he has no property, be should not refuse to give to it what he has?a few days work for the benefit be is daily receiving from a civil government, which has in the past cost blood and treasure to establish The property-holder has to work on the roads, in addition to paying a heavy tax to keep up good government. And, again, I as a property-holder have produce to haul to market. Well, if the roads are not worked by somebody I could not turn my produce into money to pay tax, or pay the man who has no property for his labor; consequently he could not be employed on the farm at all. But if the roads were in good traveling condition, so I would not have a loss to sustain by bad roads, I could pay the laborer more wages for his labor. So you see good roads are money benefit to the non-property holder class of citizens, and every man and every citizen is benefited by them. We are so linked together in society that when one class suffers all suffer together. No man, saith the Scriptures, liveth unto himself. And, Mr. Editor, let me say one word as to the legislation on prohibition. It is all in a nut shell. In my opinion, if the gov? ernment does not kill the whiskey, the whiskey will kill the government and kill the people. Philoman.
