It is not how much is done, but how is it
done: - "One of the best things in the
Gospel of Jesns is the stress it lavs on

how we do it."
We invite a careful perusal of the new
advertisment of McCully, Catbcart & Co.
These gentlemen keep a full Hue of sup?

the of the best on the market. If you
need a grain cradle, call and see this one.
We are indebted to Mr. A. B. Towers
for a basket of very tine sweet poLatoes of
last year's crop. They are in an excel?
lent state of preservation. Mr. Towers is
one of the must successful potato growers
in this section, and is never without
them. Already .this Spring he has sold
more than $40 worth of potatoes. If
every man in Anderson County were to
follow his example, it would tend to les?
sen the cry of hard times.
The Grand Lodge of the Knights of
Honor convenes in Anderson this morn?

same time and place. The members of
the Anderson Lodge are requested to call
on Mr. J. D. Maxwell for tickets of ad?
mission to the banquet, and all the young

The April number of the Cotton Plant
is before us, and we find it full of valua?
ble and interesting reading 'matter. The
Cotton Plant is now published ;at Green?
ville, and is the only agricultural jonrnal
in the State. It has a number of well
known agricultural writers as contribu?
tors to its pages. It is an eight-page
paper, and the subscription price is only
sixty cents a year. Every farmer in the
State should be a subscriber to it. Try it
one year, and you will find that it is
worth double the price.
The advertisement of the New York
Cash Store, which appears in this issue of
the Intelligences, gives prices and de?
scription of goods which must command
the patronage of the people of Anderson
and surrounding counties. Mr. Arnstein's
offer of railroad tickets to persons within
certain territory who purchase twenty-five
dollars worth of goods, extends his area of
trade .from the mountains to Augusta.
Those who fail to come to Anderson and
visit his immense establishment, will miss
the opportunity of the season in the mat?
ter of purchasing all kinds of dry groods.
Anderson is, beyond doubt, now the best
dry goods market in the upper portion of
South Carolina.
On last Friday evening a little negro
boy was shot and killed on Mr. Holland
Poore's plantation, about two miles north?
east of Belton. Coroner Nance held an
inquest over the body on Saturday morn?
ing. The evidence before the j ury showed
that the deceased and another negro boy
(each of whom were eight years of age)
were in a cabin together. A loaded gun
had been left lying across a bed. and one
of the boys climbed upon the bed to look
for a piece of chalk, and while thus en?
gaged the gun was fired, the whole load
entering the other boy's right breast, kill?
ing him instantly. This is, in substance,
the boy's story of the shooting. He de?
nied handling the gun, but the opinion is
that he was playing with it, when it was
accidentally discharged. The boy being
too young to know the nature of an oath,
the jury of inquest returned a verdict that
the deceased came to his death by a gun
j shot wound, inflicted by parties unknown
y>lhem.
Mr. M. B. Williams, the State Secretary
of the Young Men's Christian Association
of Georgia, visited Anderson on lust Mon?
day evening and conducted a meeting for
the Anderson Association in the Presby?
terian Church, which attracted a good au?
dience of ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Wil?
liams called upon the delegates to the
State Convention in Newberry to giye an
account of their impressions as to the
work of the Convention, and Messrs. C.
S. Sullivan, L. P. Smith, E. L. Clark, Ar
*thur Arnold and C. C. Langs ton respond?
ed in interesting talks to the meeting.
Hon. H. G-. Scudd ay, State Secretary, gave
an instructive account of the growth of
the work in this State, after which Mr.
Williams made an eloquent and strong
plea for the work of the Association, and
took up a collection amounting to about
$150.00 for the renting and furnishing of a
room for the Association in Anderson.
The canvass for subscriptions will be con?
tinued, and it is confidently expected to
raise a sufficient sum to comfortably fur?
nish and equip a room for the Association.
On last Saturday afternoon Mr. F. M.
Butler created quite a sensation on the
Public Square by bringing his little dog on
the streets without a muzzle with a pistol
in his hand and defying any person to
shoot the dog. He carried the. dog by
Chief of Police Fant and invited him to
shoot it. Mr. Fant asked Mr. Butler if he
did not intend to get a muzzle, to which
he replied: "No; shoot him if you want
to." Mr. Fant again suggested that he
had better get a muzzle or keep the dog
off the streets, which Mr. Butler also de?
clined, and persisted in the Invitation to
?hoot the dog if Mr. Fant wanted to do so.
Mr. Fant thereupon told Mr. Butler that
if Ms dog stayed on the street until he
got his gun he would shoot it, as directed
by.the City Ordinance, and went for his
gun. As nsual at such times, a large
crowd gathered to see the row, which did
not come off. Mr. Bntler, seeing that his
pistol in hand wonld not protect his dog,
discreetly retired to Mr. Ernest Fant's
billiard room, from which the dog was
carried in a man's arms to his wagon and
disappeared from the streets. The city
authorities should put a atop to such per?
formances as this upon the public streets.
Open defiance of a City Ordinance should
be punished or the Ordinance repealed.
We presume Mr. Butler will be fined for
bringing his dog on the street in defiance
of the provisions of the Ordinance.
Cross Boada ltemi.
The farmers in this section have the
greater portion of their crops planted.
Corn is peeping up and will soon be
ready for the first working.
Wheat is looking well and promises an
average yield. Mr. D. G. Bampy has the
finest we have seen in this section.
Fine stands of oats have* been obtained,
but they are retarded in their growth on
account of dry weather.
Mr. J. C. Hamlin is giving his entire
attention to his farm this year, and oan be
seen almost every day busily engaged at
work upon the same. He has some fine
looking oats, and a model farm.
Last Monday was an extremely windy
day, making work in the open fields very
disagreeable.
Fire broke out on the farm of Mr. J. A.
Emerson, and it required the united
efforts of his neighbors to save his build?
ings and outhouses from the greedy
flames. The fire originated upon an ad?
joining farm, and it seems that persons
Bhould be held responsible for the careless
handling of such a dangerous element on
such days.
Mr. E. C. Pruitt is building a noat and
roomy storeroom at this place, and will
soon commence the erection of a resi?
dence which he will occupy as soon as it
is completed. Mr. G. W. Long will also
build several stores and dwellings to rent.
Mr. Wm. Jones is building a two story
residence on his farm near this place.
When he finishes the same and moves in,
he will be well situated to spend the bal?
ance of his days in ease and comfort.
Mr. J. J. Dodd, contractor and builder,
is new located at this place with his ma?
chinery, and is turning out some beauti?
ful work.
Mr. D. W. Bryan has been very ill from
the effects of measles. His many friends
wish him a speedy recovery.
Mr. Lent Hall, an aged and highly
respected citizen of our neighborhood,
who has been afflicted for several years
past, is now very low, and his chance for
recoverydoubtful.
Rev.W. H. King occupied the pulpit
at this place last Sunday, and preached an
interesting and instructive sermon. The
whole congregation seemed to be very
much edified by the many truths pre?
sented in his short discourse and hope
he may be permitted to meet with them
again at this place in the service of the
Master. Omega.
Eureka Items.
Eureka made one step forward on last
Friday night. The young people have
been talking for some time of organizing
a reading club, but it only amounted to
talk. But on the above named night they
met at Col. L. E. Campbell's not to talk,
but to act. And after some business-like
conversation, they proceeded to organize
the club by electing Mr. L. T. Shirley,
President, Mr. H. M. Geer, Vice Presi?
dent, and Miss Zella Campbell, Secretary.
We heartily approve of the organization.
As a rule our people do not read enough.
There will be a social pic nie at W. A.
Geer's Spring on Saturday, the 7th of
May. The public are generally and cor?
dially invited. This is an annual occa?
sion, and is always highly enjoyed by
those present. Mr. H. M, Geer does
everything in his power to make those
present happy. ?
The Shite Convention of Die Y. M. C. -\.
The Tenth Annual Convention of the
Young Men's Christian Association of
South Carolina convened in Newberry on
last Thursday night, 14th inst. About
twenty local Associations were represent?
ed in the meeting, bringing together
about ninety-threo delegates, and making
the largest Convention ever assembled in
the State.
Newborry threw open her homes to the
delegates, who werejmet at the depot upon
their arrival by a committee and escorted
to their respective quarters. The Ander?
son delegation were assigned as follows:
Mr. Scudday with Mr. Gilder; Messrs.
Dunlap and Sullivan with Mr. J. F. Todd ;
Mr. Clarke with Mr. Leavell; Mr. Ar?
nold with Mrs. Fant; Mr. Smith and the
writer with Mr. T. V. Wicker. Our host,
who is one of Newberry's best and most
substantial citizens, did everything in his
power to make our stay pleasant, and he
succeeded well, for we were never treated
in a more hospitable manner. The other
delegates also speak in high terms of their
hosts.
The Convention held its sessions in the
Baptist Church, which had been kindly
tendered for its use. On Thursday even?
ing a welcome meeting was bold, at which
Hon. G. B. Cromer, Mayor of Newberry,
welcomed the delegates on the part of the
citizens, Rev. C. P. Scott on the part of
the Churches, Mr. G. S. Mower on the
part of the Newberry Association, and
Mr. S. T. Riser on the part of the College
Association. Mr. Scudday responded on
the part of the Convention. The Church
was crowded to its utmost capacity, and
the addresses were full of cheering words
of welcome.
The business sessions of the Convention
opened on Friday morning at 9 o'clock,
with Mr. H. G. Scudday, the 1st Vice
President in the chair. A permanent or?
ganization was perfected by electing the
following officers: President, Prof. D. B.
Johnson, of Columbia; 1st Vice-presi?
dent, ?. K. Marshall, of Charleston; 2nd
Vice-PreBident, A. H. Kohn, of Prosperi?
ty ; Secretaries, L. W. Jones, of Newber?
ry, and C. C. Langston; Press Correspon?
dent, W. G. Harvey, jr., of Charleston.
The various committees were then ap?
pointed, and the Convention went to work
in earnest, the delegates seeming determ?
ined to make good use of every minute.
A very interesting programme had been
arranged by the State Executive Commit?
tee, the topics for discussion embracing
every feature of the legitimate work of
the Associations. Our limited space pre?
vents us from even attempting to give a
synopsis of the business transacted or
naming the numerous topics that were so
ably discussed. As we listened to what
was being done in other portions of the
State for the improvement and welfare of
f-oung men, we felt that Anderson was a
ong ways in the rear. But we are glad
to state that this will not be the case in the
future, if the efforts that some of our
young men are making now are properly
encouraged by the good people of An?
derson.
The business of the Convention was
dispatched with promptness, and the ut?
most harmony prevailed throughout.
The body was composed of earnest, intel?
ligent young men, all of whom seemed
determined to gain as much information
as possible as to the best way in which to
get young men interested in religious
work and to bring them into the Church.
The report of the State Secretary, Mr.
Scudday, was very encouraging, indeed,
and the future work of the Association in
South Carolina has a very promising out?
look. During ino- coming year the Secre?
tary will as enabled to give a considers*
ble portion* of his time to the work.
Each session of the Convention was
opened with devotional exercises, con?
ducted by various delegates. There was a
good attendance of the' people of the city
at each session, and especially at night.
The singing during the meeting was led
by a portion of the Charleston Associa?
tion choir, assisted by a quartette from
the Columbia Association. The business
was interspersed with selections from
Gospel Hymns, and the singing was one
of the most pleasant features of the meet?
ing.
The following Executive Committee
was elected to serve the ensuing year.
This Committee has general charge of the
work in the State: D. B. Johnson. L. B.
Haynes, T. S. Bryan, Jasper Miller, A,
M. Boozer, J, H. Woodward, of Colum?
bia ; E. K. Marsball, Jas. Dillingbam, A.
F. Jamison, J. B. Adger, jr., of Charles?
ton; W. H. Day, Florence; C. C. Langs
ton. Anderson; A. H, Kohn, Prosperity;
H. T. Purdy, Camden; George S. Mower,
Newberry; J.B. Black, Bamberg. The
Committee met and re-elected Mr. H. G.
Scudday State Secretary.
The presence of Mr. M. B. Williams,
the State Secretary of the Y. M. 0. A. of
Georgia, added much to the interest of the
Convention. Mr. Williams has been en?
gaged in Association work for a number
of years, and is thoroughly posted in all
its details. He made several very inter?
esting addresses during the Convention,
and every delegate, no doubt, gained
much valuable information from him.
The business of the Convention was
concluded on Saturday night.
On Sunday morning at an early hour a
consecration meeting was held, and in
the afternoon at 5 o'clock a meeting for
men only was held in the Opera House,
which was crowded with an interested
audience. This meeting was conducted
by Mr. M. B. Williams, who not only
succeeded in converting a number of
young men, but also succeeded in getting
subscriptions to the amount of $1,500 for
the purpose of erecting a Y. M. C. A.
building in Newberry, Meetings were
also held at the same hour at other places
for boys and for women, both of which
were largely attended. The farewell
meeting was held on Sunday night, and
thus closed one of the most interesting
Conventions it was ever our pleasure to
attend.
We cannot close this article without
saying something about the progressive
town of Newberry, which is, as is well
known, situated in a most fertile section
of the State. The town is laid off very
irregularly, and the streets are very nar?
row, yet there is something peculiarly at?
tractive about the place. The citzens are
justly proud of the place, and are pos?
sessed of a good deal of energy and pro
gresslveness. The large steam cotton fac?
tory which stands in the town, and which
was built by home capital, attest to this
fact. The business portion of the town is
very compact. Newberry is one of the
best markets in that section of the State,
and controls a large trade. She has two
excellent newspapers. Her people are
very sociable, and no town in the State
has prettier young ladies.
Our visit was so pleasant that we will
avail onrself of the first opportunity to
go back again.
Denver Items.
In accordance with suggestion from
your correspondent from Eureka I will
state that prohibition is all right about
here. Quite a majority, from all that can
be gathered on the subject, are highly in
favor of it. A prominent colored man
near here, who is a land holder, has
signed the petition for the election, and
Bays be is going to work for and vote for
prohibition. Prohibition is only a ques?
tion of timo- The poet has it:
"There's a time that is coming at last,
0. hasten the long-looked for day.
When the rum fiend no shackles can cast,
For all Christians will vote as they pray.
"And the prison shall close every door,
The poor houses tenantless stand,
When the dram-shop shall darken no
more
The dear homes of our beautiful land.
"When the Church and the State shall
arise
In the strength of their virtue and might,
And Improve every moment that flies,
In daring to vote for the right."
Give us your hand, "Eureka," and let's
have the prohibition bill just as it is, head,
hoofs, hair, hide, all.
The farmers are beginning to want rain
to eome to hasten corn and cotton in com?
ing up.
Several of the most energetic and suc?
cessful farmers about here are contesting
for the premiums offered on cotton by
the Geo. W. Scott Gosmypius Phospho
Company, of Atlanta. If thorough pre
Saration and liberal manuring are any in
ication of a large yield, somebody will
have to move lively or Denver will "get
the cake."
Late Friday evening, 15th inst., a wagon
passed here with a coffin in it, Baid to con?
tain the body of Andy Hillhouse, colored,
who was reported to have been shot by
some parties who attempted his arrest
recently.
The parties in charge of the wagon,
upon being questioned, denied that he
bad been shot at all, ana claimed he died
from pneumonia and consumption.
There are so many conflicting statements
about it that it is hard to arrive at the
facts in the case.
The health of the community is good,
the measles having missed this immedi?
ate neighborhood.
Miss Carrie Watklns' school at this
place has been furnished new and comfor?

Tito Shockley Apple.
One day last week our good friend, Mr.
S. Bleckley, presented us with a half
dozen Shockley apples of his own raising,
for which we return thanks. Mr. Bleck?
ley seldom tills, wc believe, of keeping
this apple all through the wintor and
spring, which goes to prove that this
variety is the best for this climate. What
ho has done others can do, with proper
care. Mr. Bleckley says :
It is not for the purpose of getting my
name in the paper that I hand you, on the
15th of April, these one-half dozen home
raLicd Shockley apples, but it is that my
fellow-citizens may know the name of the
apple and see what our people in Ander?
son County might do, if we would only try.

Need of a Public Cemetery.
Mr. Editok: Your Local Editor has
repeatedly called attention in his columns,
to the need of a public cemetery for the
city of Anderson.
There are now but two burying places
in the city, the Presbyterian and the Bap?
tist cemeteries, and both of the congrega?
tions of the Presbyterian and Baptist
Churches, I have been informed, have
passed resolutions forbidding any to bury
in said cemeteries, except families of
members of the churches, or those who
have grounds therein. This was a neces?
sity, in order to reserve the grounds for
the dead among the membership of the
said churches. So it can be easily seen
that a large part of our population will
need some place to bury their dead, and
consequently the necessity that some step
be taken to procure grounds for a public
cemetery.
And besides this, a cemetery outside of
the limiUi of the city would be better, in
a sanitary view.
It is time that some action should be
taken looking to the accomplishment of
this end.
Who will move in the matter? B.
Hopewell Items.
Cotton planting is the order of the day.
The bulk of the crop has been planted
some forward patches coming up.
Some up-land corn is ready to work, and
the people are turning their attention to
bottom lands.
Mr. E. M. Duckworth has the finest
field of wheat that we have seen.
We have an interesting Sabbath School
at Hopewell.
Mr. W^ G. W. White has been confined
to his bed with measles, but we are glad to
know that be is improving, and hope he
will be able to be with us soon.
Mr. T?ren Newell is one of our stirring
young farmers, and we are glad to say he is
on the right side on the prohibition ques?
tion.
Prohibition is slowly but surely gaining
ground in our section, and by next August
a majority of our people, it is hoped, will
be in favor of this wise aud all important
measure. It has been ascertained by your
correspondent that a larger proportion of
young men are in favor of this measure
than of the old of our section. How a
man who is a member of the Church, a

Capt. J. A. Gray, who has been con?
fined to his room the greater part of the
winter, is now able to walk over his farm.
Mr. J. R. Armstrong is a model garden?
er, and has the finest garden in this com?
munity.
Mr. Henderson Cooper's two children
died from the effect of measles.
On Monday morning we had a shower
of rain which was accompanied with
heavy wind, which continued the remain?
der of the day, blowing down some fruit
trees and fencing.
The majority of the farmers are through
planting cotton, and are waiting the ap?
pearance of Gen. Green, when the long
and toilsome battle will begin.
Mr. J. W. Wright and wife, of Augusta,
Ga., are in our midst visiting the former's
parents and relativen. He sees many
things that brighten his memory of child?
hood days when at school, where he
played leap-frog, town ball, <fec. Those
were lively days, but, alas! they are gone.
Never did a more generous and true heart
beat within the breast of man than in
Johnnie's.
The school at this place is in a good
working condition, all owing to the com?
petency of the teacher, Mr. Todd is the
right man in the right place. He is gain?
ing the affection of both pupil aud patron.
The sohools of this township will close
the last day of this month.
Quite a large congregation assembled at
this place last second Sabbath. The Sun?
day School was organized and Rev. H. M.
Allen was elected Superintendent. He
made a few approprate remarks, and ad?
journed to meet next fourth Sabbath
morning at half past 0 o'clock. The pas?
tor then preached quite an interesting
sermon on prohibition?said he had been
requested to do so, and now he had ar?
rived at that point, and as he began to
fire off, the shot fell too thick and heavy
for some of the anties. They could not
stand, they retired. Flat.
Lebanon Items.
The most pleasant of all seasons has
come again, and the vegetation is putting
on its royal robe, which makes all nature
to aeem more pleasant and cheerful. The
tired and weary ones can now, at their
leisure, Bit and gaze upon the beauties of
natuie, and rest their weary minds and
tired hands from the toils of life; praising
God for the changes of nature, which are
so conducive to the promotion of man's
happiness in this life. The small grain
crop is beginning to make the fields look
green and promising. A few patches of
wheat are looking very fine; being high
enough to hide a rabbit. The oat crop is
tolerably good, the spring sowing being a
little better than the fall sowing, as a gen?
eral thing.
The farmers have been busy planting
their cotton crop, but are now about done.
Some, however, are just beginning. The
dry weather of the past few weeks has
enabled them to keep up with their work.
While none are behind in their work at
present, we fear some will get behind
pretty soon; for the grass and weeds are
coming on, and the corn will Boon be
ready lor work. But the farmers around
Lebanon are industrious and energetic;
and we have no fears that they will get so
deep in the grass but that they will be
able to get out by the middle of summer.
We understand that there are some
arrangements being made to complete the
new school house which has been begun at
this place. We hope that talking about it
will not be all that is done; for it has been
standing uncovered long enough, we
think. It ought to be finished by the
first of June anyhow, so that Mr. Holland
could have the use of it in giving his ex?
hibition. It ought to be remembered
that the patrons of the school agreed to
finish the house for Mr. Holland's use
during the present year. The school,
though it is pretty full yet, is not bo full
as it has been.
All the teachers of this (Garvin) town?
ship, that we have heard say anything
about it, moan to attend the Teacher's
Institute at Williamston this summer.
We hope their anticipations may be
realized, and that they may be greatly
profited by their attendance.
The Lebanon Sabbath School has recent?
ly purchased a library containing sixty
volumes. Those children that are
hungry for literature will not now be
compelled to overload their tender minds
with worthless literature. Last year the
school purchased a seventy-eight dollar
Mason and Hamlin Organ, and it now
enjoys the privilege of giving for mis?
sions. About fifteen dollars nave been
collected during the present year for mis?
sionary purposes, besides all that raised
for purchasing the library and other lit?
erature for the school.
Two or three prayer meetings are held
in the neighborhood every week; one at
the Church on Wednesday night, and one
or two at ueighbors' houses sometime
during the week. These meetings are
always very well attended, which shows
the earnestness manifested in tho work.
On Sunday, the 17th Inst., the angel of
death visited the family of Mr. Joe. Ers?
kine and wife, and in its flight carried with
it the spirit of their infant babe, aged six
weeks. Its remains were interred in the
Lebanon Cemetery on Monday. The be
reayed parents have our sympathies.

from Electric Bitters, I feel it my duty to
let suffering humanity know it. Have
had a running sore on my log for eight
years j my doctors told nie I would have
to have the bone scraped or leg amputated.
I used, instead, three bottles of Electric

A Wonderful Food and Medicine,

its action. My patients say it is pleasant

gain flesh from the use of it. I
use it in all cases of Wasting Diseases,
and it is specially useful for chil?
