We are indebted to D. A. Zeagler, Esq., *orDenver, Col., for a copy of tlie Fourth Annual Report of the Chamber of Com? merce and Board of Trade of Donver. The report is gotten up in an interesting 'manner, and gives a full review nf every branch of business in the city. We request our contributors to use a pen and ink, and not a pencil, in writing 'their communications for. the Intelli? gences. It is sometimes very difficult to make out words when they are written with a pencil. Use a pon and ink, and tbe printers will think more of you. Mr. E. W. South has recently invented a rocking chair fan, which can be attached to a rocking chair or baby cradle, and by rocking to and fro tbe fan is operated, thus keeping the occupant cool or tbe flies away.

The Doctor left for Flor? ida on the next train. The latest informa? tion from Mrs. Wilhite was to the effect that she was improving. Her many friends in Anderson wish her a speedy re? covery, and hope she will soon bo able to return home. Prof. Ligon's school closes on Wednes? day next for the summer vacation. On Thursday evening the Calophemian Lite . rary Society will have its annual celebra? tion. "Should tbe elective franchise be extended to women ?" is the subject which has been selected for debate. The affirm? ative side will be represented by Messrs. R. E. Browne and S. C. Todd, and the negative by Messrs. J. B. Towrisen? and M. 0. Ligon.

Dean, "Our Country;" Mr. V. M. Barnes, **Luck and Pluck." The cel? ebration will take place in tbe Cjurt House, at 81 o'clock, and a cordial invita? tion is extended to tbe public to atiemd. A correspondent of the Augusta, Ga., Chronicle relates the following as to how the Savannah River got its name: "Du? ring the years '48, '49 and '501 was a pupil in the well known institute of Rev. Wm. J. Hard, of your city. While talking to oar class one day about the early settle? ment of Augusta, he told- ns that the name 'Savannah' had its origin in a very affecting Indian legend. One of the white settlers who lived above Augusta had oc? casion to cross the river one day, and in company, with his little daughter was carried by an Indian in his canoe. This little girl's name was 'Anna.' - When they reached the middle of the stream, there came up a sadden squall of wind, and by some means the frail bark was capsized and all three thrown into the water. The father, hvfais anxiety about his daughter, uried out to the Indian, 'Saye Anna! Oh, save Anna!' The Indian grasped the child and reached the shore in safety with her, and in memory of that incident called the river its present Dame, 'Savannah.' I have never heard this disputed, but .would be glad to know if it was really a fact" An Interesting Occasion. The iehools of Broadaway Township had a mo** enjoyable exhibition and pic nie at Carponter & Geer's Mill, five miles east of the city, last Saturday, which, notwithstanding the busy season with our country friends, was largely attended. . In company with our young friend, Dr. S. G. Bruce, who was kind enough to give us a seat in his baggy, we left the city about 11 o'clock, and when we arrived on the grounds the exercises for the day had already commenced. A stand had been erected and a large number of seats ar? ranged in the grove below the mill, and everybody seemed to be deeply interested in the exercises. The stand was tasteful? ly decorated, and on ono end of it stood an organ, which was used in tbe rendition of the following programme: - Opening Song by Miss Zella Campbell's school. Prayer, by Rev. W- H. King. Song by Miss Zella Campbell's school. Memory Gems by Miss Lizzie Ander? son's school. Music. Calisthenics by Miss Annie Emerson's school. Song by Miss Zella Campbell's school. Calisthenics by Miss Lizzie Anderson's school. . . Song by Miss Zella Campbell's school. Calisthenic songs by Miss Lizzie An? derson's school. Closing scng by Miss Zella Campbell's school. Miss Zella Campbell, Mrs. Jas. Ander? son and Miss Cleo King (the latter being a little girl only eight years of age) pre. sided at the organ at different times du? ring the exercises. The exercises were interesting through ? out, and were highly enjoyed by the audi? ence. Every part of the programme was excellently rendered, and the pupils showed that they had been In the hands of competent and pains-taking teachers, who aie doing a noble work in tbeir re? spective communities. At the conclusion of the above Pro? gramme, Col. L. E. Campbell, in a few ap? propriate remarks, Introduced Hon. B. F. Cray ton, Col. J. G. Clinkscales and Hon. E. B. Murray, in the order named, eaoh of whom made a most excellent speech on the subject of education. Tbeir speeches were listened to very attentively by the audience. The people of Broadway are thoroughly aroused on the subject .of education, and they have three most efficient teachers in the persons of Misses Campbell, Ander? son and Emerson. At the conclusion of tbe speaking, din? ner was next in order, and the crowd di? vided into groups, each group, with their guests, gathering around large, well-filled baskets. As usual we got into good hands and fared sumptuously, despite the fact that we sat between a pretty young lady and a young Methodist preacher. We thought we were a good hand around a dinner basket, but the latter turned us down, especially on fried chicken and lemon custards. The afternoon was spent very pleasant? ly in vario us ways, and every one seemed to enjey themselves very much. If any one filed to enjoy the day it was their own fault. OUR FIREMEN'S RECORD. Anderson'* KoproseiitatiTen Bring ?IT Three Prizes, from Charlotte. .The Anderson firemen ? who visited Charlotte to compete in the Inter state fire mans tournament, wore. royally treated during their visit, aud achieved more than a reasonable share of success. The young? est . fire department in the contest, they made a record which puts them prominent? ly among the mo.st efficient departments in the country. . Upon their ar :val in Charlotte on Thursday evening, they were met at the depot by the Charlotte fire department, and escorted to their rooms, where refresh? ments were served. In the parade on Fri? day, the Anderson Department were ac? corded the post of honor, and on Friday night the visitors were tendered a most enjoyable ball. On Saturday the contests came off. The correspondent of the Co? lumbia Register gives the following account of the contests: Chasxotte, N. C, May 21.?This has beeu a great day in Charlotte for South Carolina. the band contest. To-day's festivities commenced at 10 a. m., with the band contest. The Charlotte Cornet Band was ruled out on account of j not appearing in the parade yesterday. They went on the stand in their turn, however, and gave an exhibition of their skill. The Young America of Anderson, leader Sam Trowbridge, with fourteen pieces, opened the contest. They are all boys, the oldest being sixteen and the youngest six. They were followed by the Mecklenburg County Band, Bob Freeman leader, seventeen pieces. Each band alter? nated until four pieces were played. At every appearance of the Young Americas they were greeted with round after ronnd of applause and the smiles and handker? chief salutation of hund reds of fair women who filled every balcony and window on the street, and added beauty to the chiv? alry below. The contest was decided in favor of the Young Ann -i'cas, and at the decision tbe band stand, the boys and all, was picked up by the crowd, amid deafen? ing cheers, and borne around the square. tue keel baces. ' The reel races commenced at 2.50 v. m. The Hornets of Charlotte, Captain C. M. Davidson, came on tbe ground first, attir? ed in daik bine tights and garnet velvet ?trunks. Time to plug, 20 seconds; to water, 30 seconds. Next came the Pioneers of Charlotte, Captain B. J. Swinson, in black tights with Lblue velvet trunks. .Time to plug, 201 sec? onds ; water 29.? seconds. The Pioneers of Anderson, Captain C. D. Brown, came down in fine style, dressed in blue knee pants and white shirts. Time to plug 21 seconds! They would have made water in about 25, but failed to fas? ten the nozzle. Acme of Monroe, N. C, in light blue pants and white shirts, were led bv Cap? tain C. B. Sykes. Tune to plug, 191?the best run made; water in 313 seconds. The^rab contest came in next: Hornets?Time to plug, 163; water, 263 seconds. Pieneers of Charlotte?To "plug, 17; water, 23} seconds. Pioneers of Anderson?Time to plug, 16}, made in gallant style; water in 273, owing to the wrench flying out of Captain Brown's hands. . Acme of Monroe?Time to plug, 16 1-5; water, 24 seconds. The Pioneers of Charlotte, having won both the reel and grab races, paraded the streets with brooms and their time. hook and ladder contest. The hook and ladder contest came next. The Anderson truck led off, time 374, which received the second prize. .Charlotte came next, time 40, which placed them third on time. Tbe Phoenix boys closed the race, time 35 winning first prize. The foot race to-day was won by Henry Stephens of Anderson ; time, 10} seconds. . A firemen's banquet at tbe Opera House to-night closes the festivities attending the celebration of the Mecklenburg declar? ation of independence. It will be seen from this that the Young America Cornet Baud again carried off the first prize for music, and were theheroesof the occasion. The Independent Hook and Ladder Company took the second prize, and did so. in spite of tbe fact that their ladder broke through the edge of the shin? gle roof, thereby delaying their time some? what. They ran first, and these disadvan? tages make their success-very compliment? ary to thera, indeed. The Pioneers won no prize, but they lost by an accident, occasioned doubtless by lack of familiarity with the use of water plugs. It is conced? ed that but for the blowing off of the noz? zle to their hose, their time in tbe reel race would have been about 25 seconds, whereas the Pioneers, of Charlotte, took 293 seconds to throw water. In the grab contest likewise an accident robbed them of victory, their running time being the best made, but the dropping of a wrench from the hands of the captain of the team, again prevented them getting water in time. They deserved a better fate, and showed such proficiency as to command commendations on every hand. It will also be noted that Mr. Henry Stephens, an Anderson man, won the foot race. On Sunday evening the Hornet Compa? ny, of Charlotte, served refreshments to the Anderson department before their de? parture, and our firemen are enthusiastic in their expressions of appreciation of the manner in which the firemen of Charlotte, and especially the Hornets, treated them. Dr. R. F. Divver, Chief of tbe Anderson department, made a happy and appropriate address of thanks and appreciation on behalf of the Anderson department, which is highly complimented by those who heard it. En-route home, the Firemen with the Young America Cornet Band, were stopped over in Greenville on Mondoy morning by the firemen of that city, who fxmyeyed them to the Mansion House, wnere an elegant breakfast was tendered them by their hosts. After a balcony serenade by the Young Americas, the party were con? veyed to the C. &G. depot, where congratu? latory speeches were made by representa? tives of the Greenville firemen and respon? ded to by Dr. Divver, of the Anderson de? partment. On arriving home the department was met at the depot by a number of our citi? zens, and they were warmly welcomed in an eloquent address by Mayor Tolly, re? sponded to in an appropriate and eloquent reply by Chief Divver. A salute was also fired by "Old Reformer." The firemen then marched to music by tbe band through the square to their respective headquarters. They enjoyed themselves thoroughly, and represented Anderson in a most creditable manner. Five Forlcs Items. Will some one give the cause of tbe bad condition of tbe health of our people this spring ? The old citizens of this commu? nity say there has not been so much sick? ness in this section since the year 1857. Quite a number of diseases are prevalent. Measles is now much less common, but dysentery, of quite a severe type, is olose in the wake of the first mentioned disease, and makes quite an ugly complication. These diseases, together with whooping cough, that old shadow of measles, have dealt roughly with both old and young. Typhoid fever has now made its appear? ance among us. Truly, there must be some peculiar condition of tbe system that makes the people unusually suscepti? ble to disease. Dri M. L. Sharpe has been with Dr. Duckworth two days assisting him in tbe treatment of some serious coses, particu? larly those of Messrs. Wilson Mullikin and Wm. Wilson, jr. Mr. Mullikin's was a case demanding immediate relief, which could not be given short of a critical as well as painful operation ; this the physi? cians performed quite successfully. Mr. Wilson is quite low with typhoid fever. We are always glad to see Dr. Sharpe in our midst. In past years he practiced through this section, and won the confi? dence and admiration of the people. Hope the Doctor will come again. Dr. Duckworth's services are constantly in demand. Ho is quite popular among his friends, and deservedly so, because he is a generous and high-toned gentleman. His ear is ever open to theory of suffering in any form. So much sickness has thrown tbe far? mers back considerably. Wheat and oats are continuing to look up. Rev. B. Hays preached a sermon on tbe subject of prohibition last Sunday at Hopewell. The sermon was well re? ceived. 5 Forks. Trinity Item*. Mr. Kay lias the finest-patch of forage corn wo over saw. JJo planted it the last week oi" March. It is now lliroo and otio half feet tall, and ,jn.st about as thick as It can stand. I hoard a man sny the other day that ho has not had enough rain to stop In* in friiin plowing since February. Mr. Wilson Mullikin is very ill, and is not expected to live. Mrs. James Wilson is also very sick. Wo have a new kind of a doublo-foot plow-stock up hero. I heard the owner of one say that he would not take $5 for his, and it only cost $1.50. Setting out potato slips is the order of the evening. The small grain crops in general are very sorry, but there are a few exceptions to this condition. Mr. E. M. Smith's watermelon vines are two feet long. He has the finest in this section. Singer. Twigg? Items, Contributed by a Little Girl. As you, Mr. Editor, seem to be receiv? ing visitors from all portions of tho Coun? ty, I thought I would make a short call. The weather is now quite warm. Every? body is as busy as can be, and the merry ring of the hoos and the lively voice of tho darkey, as he calls out "gee" and "haw," is the programme of the day. Measles are abaL'iig in this section. We heard it cautiously remarked not long since that if one of our Baptistmin isters did not mind how he preached pro? hibition, he would got thrown out of his Church, but as all of his hearers are not anties, we do not think there is any prob? ability of such a catastrophe. All Chris? tians are of one mind, therefore they are all prohibitionists; hence, God being with them, there is not much ground left for those who strive against a good cause. Can auy of the an ties give the true mean? ing of the word anti-prohibition t Anti, as we all know, means against. Beginning from the first and tracing whiskey from its mildest to its worst form, we find that tbe man who uses it to an excess is an offender in the sight of God. Therefore, the anti-prohibitionists we' deserve their i name, for they have voluntarily taken a position in opposition to the best interests of morality. Twin as. Neal's Cmek Items. General green has made his appearance, and is giving the little goose neck hoes a hard fight. Cotton and corn are looking very well for the time of year. There has been more corn planted in this section than for several years, while the acreage in cotton does not vary much from tho past. Farmers are well advanced for the season. They have stuck unusual1** close to their work and seem determined > do their part well. In absence of the Pastor the pulpit at Neal's Creek was occupied on last third Sunday by Rev.- R. M. King, who preached an impressive sermon to an attentive congregation, after which sacre ment was administered. Tbe health of the community was never better than at present. Neal's Creek has a large and interesting Sunday School; superintended by Mr. D. D. Gentry, who with the aid of efficient teachers and faithful scholars, is doing a good work. Neal post office has changed hands. Mr. E. M. Holland has been appointed Post? master succeed J. A. Major, Esq., re? signed. Miss CorineFantof your city is visiting the family of her Uncle, Maj. J. "N-. Van diver. The pic nie at Geer <fc Carpenter's Mill on last Saturday was largely attended and was a grand success in every particular. Hoosier. - Eureka Items. We do not remember of ever having seen corn and cotton grow off more rapid? ly and beautifully than they have this May, and tbe weather continues favorable and the farmer continues to plow and hoe. Seed-time is about over, harvest is yet four months off, and between these two seasons there is much to do. Here is another thing we feel that is due to the credit of our farmers, which is this, we have never seen them go and continue to go at work to make a crop with such a vim and determination. It is not only in our own community but it is tbe case in all the neighborhoods in which we go and from which we hear. Truly we do have an industrious people. We heard an old man say once that industry and sobriety would make any man rich. Of course that don't follow every time, but it is a splendid rule to go by. Economy must come in between the two. It is the general opinion that the wheat crop will be good, at least good judges sav that they can see no reason why it should not, as everything has been favor? able to the crop. There is no disease whatever as we haye heard of on the crop. It is true that it is low and tbe heads are short, but they are being well filled. It is pleasant to hope for a good crop, we need it so badly. Herbert, a three year old son of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. and Fannie Cheshire, died in tbe afternoon of last Friday. He was a fine, healthy and well grown boy. His remains were laid to rest on Sunday in tbe graye yard at Shady Grove Church. His Father and mother were so sick as to both be unable to attend the funeral. God's purposes must be fulfilled though they weight heavily upon us. A bee robbing was always an interesting occasion to your correspondent. We were trained to it when a boy. A bee robber must not be afraid of being caught by a bee. We, together with several other friends, were invited on last Monday evening to an occasion of this kind at Mr. H. M. Geer's. He is very successful in this culture. Mr. Geer is a worthy young man, a splendid and highly respected far? mer. We robbed eight hives, all patent gums, and from the eight we got ICS pounds of well filled and completely sealed comb. We have been accustomed to this kind of work all through life, but those of Mr. Geer's were the richest we ever saw. Every rack was full, and some of tbem weighed five and six pounds. We used to oe opposed to the patent gums, but we are about ready to give up the old ones. Our free school exhibition and pic nie at Carpenter and Geer's on last Friday was a complete success. It furnished food for the mind, and there was food in abund? ance for the body. * Twlggs Items. Tho building of the S. V. R. R. has made it necessary to make many changes along its line, especially near the different stations. The roads will be changed in many places, and old names will be dropped and new ones given in many instances, and as these changes take place it is neces? sary to adapt ourselves to them, hence we write from tbe above named place, it be? ing the name of the P. 0. established at Starr, ten miles south of Anderson. If a multiplicity of names is any advantage to a new town in building up, this place certainly has that advantage, and wohopo our little town will not break down uuder the load. Refreshing showers have visited this section recently, and everything is grow? ing luxuriantly. Crops of all kinds are looking well and our farmers hopeful. It is seldom that we see the crops as well advanced and in as good condition as at the present time. Already we see the ad? vanced pickets of Gen. Green's army, and our farmers will have to be vigilant and make every lick tell for the next two months. Our section is about free' from measles at last, but we hear of considerable sick? ness from dysentery. Little Mamie, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Hall, died last Sunday morn? ing and was buried the following day at this place. She was the idol of her parents, and her death has left a void which will always be felt in tbeir hearts. The many friends of tho bereaved parents tender tbem their heart-felt sympathy in this their hour of distress. Our young friend, Mr. T. W. Hall, met with a serious accident last Saturday morn? ing. It seems he was going out to plow, and his horse, becoming frightened at some plows he was carrying, threw him, and one of his feet becoming entangled in the chains, he was dragged some hundred yards over a very rocky road. He re? ceived several severe wounds from tho rock, and had two or three ribs brokeu by the horse kicking him as he ran. His wounds were dressed by Dr. Speer, of Lowndesville, and it is hoped he will be up and about soon. Mr. John Ashley, who has been living in Texas for several years past, has purchased a lot at this place, and is now busily engaged building a neat residence. He hopes to have it completed in a few weeks, when be will move in. He and Mr. E. C, Pruitt have formed a partner? ship and will engage in merchandising at this place. Capt. Wm. Jones's new residence is nearing completion, and will be a beauti? ful structure when finished. Several of the road overseers are work? ing tbeir respective sections of road whenever it is too wet to work in the fields. The farmers do not think the necessity exists for our commissioners to take tbem from their fields at this season of year, to work on the roads. Our peo Ele have been led to see the necessity for etter roads, and are willing to put in tbe full time, but they think they can do it at a time when it will suit them and their business better than now. OarEOA, Fork Items, This secliuu was vbitod on lustSnturday by several light showers, which did aguod port towards advancing tho growing veg? etation, but it was not as much as there has been in other sections, although we should be very proud that we can have nice, gentle showers, while our neighbor? ing sections are almost destroyed by heavy rains and tremendous hail storms. We have not had any rains this soason that were heavy enough to wash the land any. The farmers have been very busy for the last week chopping cotton, and most of any, trying to destroy the unusual amount of grass that put in its appearance before the cotton was up, therefore it was in many places very tirm before it was turned up to the sun for it to do its par but with another fine week and good work I think they can rejoice over a great battle won with their own hands. The cotton where it has been worked and plowed looks better than is usual for its age and time of year. There is a finer crop of corn now thau I have seen for several years. Its condi? tion is very good. In many places it has had its second plowing and is planted with peas between the hills. The oat crop is doing fine, and if the gentle showers continue it will be far ahead of our expectations. Wheat is now beginning to turn and will soon need the harvester with his strong arm to cradle it away to its place of rest, but it is not as high as was thought, though very well headed.
