The services are being held in the Blue Ridge depot, which has been fixed up for the occasion. The pastor, Rev. W. S. Wigbtinani is be? ing assisted by Rev Mr. Henck, an avan gelist from Tennessee. Last Sunday a row occurred at Pleasant Grove. Baptist Church, colored, in Hall Township, during which one negro was ehr by another.with a pistol, and an? other was painfully hurt by being struck on head with a rock. The row seems to mwe been a general one, as'a number of negroes were engaged in it. A gentleman from town who passed Mr. T. J.

We had a pleasant call last Friday from Rev. Sldi H. Browne, editor of the Chris? tian Neighbor, Columbia, 8. C. Mr. Browne lectured in the Methodist Church on Thursday evening.on the subject of "Peace," which he handled in an interest? ing manner. Mr. Browne is one of the oldest members of. the South Carolina Conference, and has been a faithful laborer in his Church. He bas many friends in Anderson. who were glad to greet him once more. The National Grange, Patrons of Hus? bandry, has issued an interesting memo? rial circular on.the life and character of the late Hon. D.

Lust Tuesday afternoon during the storm, the two-room dwelling house, with nearly all of its contents, of Hence Wil? liams, colored, situated near the colored Baptist Church, was destroyed by fire. There was no one in the house at the time, and it is not known how the fire originat? ed. Some are of the opinion, however, that the house was struck by lightning, which set it on fire, while others think the fire was caused by the wind blowing sparks from the fire-place to the bed. The house was almost consumed before the fire was discovered. Loss, about $400. Death of J. C. Whitefield, Esq. Captain John 0. Whitefield, one of the oldest and most widely known and re? spected citizens of Anderson, died at bis residence in this city on Saturday, the 28th ultimo, at half-past four o'clock in the afternoon. Capt. Whitefield was a son of the late Tyler Whitfield, Esq., of this County, and was born and reared in the County, spending the greater portion of his life and all of bis years of manhood in the town and city of Anderson. He was fifty-nine years of age, and bad been .consecutively Magistrate and Trial Jus? tice in the County for thirty years. He was also a practicing attorney at this bar, and a man of fine business qualification. He was a progressive, public|spirited citi? zen, and was upright and conscientious in all his dealings with men. He was a suf? ferer for several years with rheumatism, but was not unusually indisposed until about three days before his death. His friends were not apprehensive of the re? sult of his indisposition, though his physician suspected the existence of heart disease from which he died. Capt. -Whitefield got up and changed his cloth? ing, after which he died in about two min? utes. He leaves four children. The funeral services were conducted at the residence on Snnday afternoon by Rev. W. S. Wightman, of the Methodist Church, of which the deceased was a member, after which the remains were interred in the Presbyterian Cemetery by the side of the grave of his wife, who died two years ago. In the death of Capt. Whitefield Anderson has lost a valuable citizen. I Bold Thieves. - Last Suuday morning, M,r. A. T. Moss, who clerks for Moss & Browii, on enter? ing their store found the back door stand? ing open. He was astonished at this, as he remembered distinctly to have locked the door when he left the store on the pre? ceding night. Mr. Mosa at once began in? vestigating to see if anything had been stolen from the store. His first thought was of the money drawer, and ongoing to it, he found that it had been prized open and removed. Going on back to the open door, he found the money drawer, but its contents, with the exception of a few cop? pers, were gone. About $20.00, all of it silver, had.been left in the drawer Satur? day night. No goods were missed. The police were notified, and they at once went to work on the case. Sunday was a lovely day, and the livery stables were liberally patronized. Among those who had secured a livery turnout for the day was Robert Ricks, a worthless young negro. The police knew that Ricks never worked long enough at a time to get sufficient money ahead to hire a buggy and horse, and they kept their eyes on him. During the day they learned that Ricks had made some purchases at a clothing store that morning, and had been quite liberal in treating his friends. On Monday morning Ricks was arrested and carried to Moss & Brown's store. Mr. Moss questioned Ricks very closely, and after denying any knowledge of the crime and telling numerous lies, he finally con? fessed that ho and another young negro, named Ed. Litman, were the guilty par? ties. Ricks said that he and Litman came into the store an hour or.more before Mr. Moss closed up, and, watching an oppor? tunity, secreted themsolves in the cellar. When everything got quiet, they came out, and, securing a piece of iron, prized open the money drawer, secured its con? tents, together with a lot of tobacco and cigars, unlocked the back door (the key having been left in the door on the inside) and made their exit. A warrant was aworn out for both the negroes. Ricks was committed to jail, and an officer went on the bunt of Lit? man, who resides a few miles from the city. Litman saw the officer approaching and immediately fled, but was captured Monday night and lodged in jail. This was a bold scheme, and the thieves deserve the full penalty of the law. Ricks is an old offender, having served a term in the penitentiary two or three years ago. A Magnificent Iasne. . This is what every one must say who examines a copy of the June issue of the Southern Cultivator, published in Atlanta, Ga., which is the recognized authority on agricultural matters in the South. It is not only filled to the brim with valuable information, but profusely illustrated throughout. No -farmer's- home should be without this elegant and valuable monthly. Send to the Cultivator Publish? ing Company, Drawer 8, Afilanta, ?a., for a specimen copy. Fork Items. The farmers are now well up with their work?better than is customary. They have worked with a vim, from early morn until latest eve, and have seemed to .he more cheerful over their work than is common. The weatber has been very favorable on those who had "General Green" to contend with, but now his forces are routed and his forts taken. We are not considered a grumbling peo? ple, but still I hear some wishing this dry wind would stop blowing, and these cold nights would turn to warmer ones, and that we could get a good rain now, and many other wants satisfied. A good season now would make the farmer feel a little better, and would do some good to the growing crop, but if we can't get it we will tiave to do without and be contented ; but there are some people who would not be contented if they had it in their power to have every blessing they could ask for, and [ reckon it is beet that we have to do as we can, and be patient in all things, whether it suits our fancy or not. Mr. J. A. McCorkle has been greatly de? layed in the erection of the new iron bridge across Seneca River, near Sloan's Ferry, caused by not being able to secure i sufficient number of hands to carry, on the work as he wishes it done. He says he a ever saw hands so scarce as they are here. This speakB well for our part of the Coun? ty. Everybody has his own work to do, and there are no loafers. Rev. C. V. Barnes conducted a series of meetings at New Bethlehem Church last week, commencing Friday night and clos? ing Sunday night, which was very inter? esting, and no doubt did a good part to? wards forwarding the church and helping Its members. A good many of our best .gardeners are feasting on beans and potatoes. The fruit crop will be neatly an entire failure this time, as that which the frost left is dropping off. Ivor. Craytc nvlllo Items. As there are no items sent fr?m iibis por? tion of the County, I will send yon a few, which, if you deem worthy of f?ace in your valuable paper, you may faabMsh. The many items sent from different por? tions of the County is a feature of your paper that makes it both interesting and instructive. This is a beautiful farming section of country, interspersed with pine forests, and occasionally a body of original forest. The farmers have about succeeded in thinning out the ranks of King Cotton's army. General Green has made very little insur? rection this season, it having been too dry. Many people say, year after year, that they are going to make one more effort at a large cotton crop, and if they do not get out of debt they are going to plant but little ther *r, and yet they continue to plant large I never saw the ground in a bet? ter condition for a crop, having been no heavy rains since the freezes in the latter part of the winter. I attended a Union meeting on last Sun? day, and prohibition was the topic of the outsiders, and temperance was proclaimed from the pulpit by Rev. J. S. Morray. I heard a lady say that she thought the wo? men ought to be allowed suffrage on this important question, and I acquiesced in the same. The query for discassion in the next Union meeting of this District is : "What is the duty of the church members and of the churches in regard to this great reforma tion? prohibition 7" It was the privilege of the last Union meeting to designate the place of the meet? ing of the Saluda Association in 1888, and Barker's Creek Church was selected. Look out, Barker's Creek?next year is the time for political movement. You will have the pleasure of meeting many candi? dates. Vox. Tvrlggs Items. Allow me to make a short call this morning, as I have not much to say I will not detain you long. .-^ Measles are not abating in this V ^'on as the little girl from Twiggs said . _it week, but are beginning anew. We are glad to receive the information concerning the word anti-prohibition. The bear seems to be the topic among the colored people. The crops and gardens are very much refreshed by the late showers of rain, We have beans and Irish potatoes to eat, and fried chicken occasionally. We regret to heart of the illness of our bachelor friend, John M.

An imporlant matter will beVui bin it led for tlioir consideration and action, and a full meeting of the members of said Club is vory dosirable. .J. C. Watkujr, President. Belton Items, The Union meeting which convened with Cedar Grove Church last Saturday and Sunday was a complete success. So many were present on Sunday that not half could get into the house, but our preachers were equal to the emergency?Rev. M. McGee preached to the audience in the house, while Rev. R. W. Burts went to the grove, stood in a buggy and preached to those not able to get into the house. Mr. J. D. Campbell has returned home for the summer vacation, having been in attendance at the University of Nashville, Tenn. The friends of Probate Judge W. P. Cox will be sorry to learn that he is at home sick. The Judge is not dangerously ill, and we hope will soon be able to be at his office again. Mr. Mundy, the evangelist, has conclu? ded his meetings at this place. W. E. B. Trinity Items. We have had a few showr-rs of rain late? ly, and our crops are looking fine. Mr. Thomas Bolt has two acres of vory fine cotton. The health is .good in this section at present. Mrs. Dorcas Stribling wont to see her daughter in Summerville, S. C, and stay? ed about two weeks, but has now returned home, and giyes a glowing account of that section. Rev. A. T. Dunlap will conduct services in Trinity Church next Saturday night. A full attendance of tho members is very much desired, as there is some business to be transacted. Non-members are also in? vited. The congregation is requested to meet promptly at early candle light, as the nights are short. A young man hi this section, while crossing Six-and-Twenty Creek on a foot log, after dark, fell off and got a thorough wetting. We had a very heavy rain and extra hard wind Tuesday afternoon, which blew down trees and corn. It is the first thorough season we have had f r some months. Singer. West Anderson Items. From the reports of the "item writers" Anderson County seems to be on a boom for a big crop. We Western boys have the finest prospect for a good crop we have had for several years. We are not disposed to brag on our individual prospect, but can say we have several acres of bottom on the Savannah River in corn that will make 75 bushels per acre, if there is no disaster. The remainder of our bottom will make from 20 to 40 bushels per acre. We cannot say so much for our cotton drop. Some of j our farmers are thinking of turning their .cotton farms into stock farms, and stop planting cotton at all. We hope Anderson County will.yet get the Experimental Farm, for we believe it would be a great help to young men who are just starting in life, and have to make their own experiments. We profess to know one or two things by experience, but let oie tell you, boys, it cost us like rips be? fore we learned it. We heard a man say the other day that we should always be careful how we braced our opinions against another's experience, to which we say, amen ! Some of our young bachelors are not satisfied with their lot in this part of the country, and are.talking of trying life some where else. Poor fellows, they get but little sympathy. There are two things we would like to see our people do. The first is, pay our preachers, and pay them willingly, cheer? fully, promptly and liberally. The second is, listen to them when they are preaching, instead of turning their beads every time some one comes in. If we will do this, we are satisfied the ministers will feel better, and more like preaching. Idem. Third Baptist Union. On Saturday, the 28th instant, at Salem Church the Baptist Union of the Third District adopted unanimously the follow? ing preamble and resolutions by an en? thusiastic and rising vote: Whereas, the Legislature at its last session passed an Act submitting the question of license or no license for the Bale of spirituous liquors to the voters of Anderson and Laurens Counties, thereby empowering the individual voters to de? cide this question for themselves, and a majority of them to determine the result, thus making sucb voters responsible be? fore God and men for the conclusion they may reach; and, whereas, the traffic in spirituous liquors has been for centuries the bane of tbe social and the moral world, wrecking thousands of human souls, destroying the minds and bodies of j countless human beings, blighting the peace of happy homes and bringing want, misery, woe and crime in their most terrible forms in our midst ? and, where? as, the State no longer takes tbe responsi? bility of perpetuating this evil, but places the * moral and legal responsibility for the traffic, if it is continued, directly upon the voters of these counties; and whereas, the Church of Christ was instituted to be the light of the world, leading men in all spiritual and moral reforms, under all circumstances and at all times, and to this end it has in ages past contended with the powers of State to force them to do the right, even at tbe cost of martyrdom of the fathers of the Church, and is, of course, in duty to its Great Head bound to ad? vance and aid especially such moral re- ] forms as the State may permit; therefore be it 1st. Resolved, That it is the sense of tbe 1 Baptists of the Third Union District that it | is tho duty of Christians evrywhere to labor to drive the blighting curse of in? temperance from our world, and especi? ally is it their duty where the State, as in this county, puts the responsibility for the traffic in liquor directly upon tbe voteri, whereby every voter becomes morally responsible before God, not only for tbe ballot he shall cast, but also for the exercise of the influence he may possess among men, so that he should vote and labor as he prays. 2nd. That we urge our pastors and Church members to labor and pray ior the triumph of prohibition as one of the greatest moral reforms of tho present age, and a means whereby men may bo eleva? ted and advanced morally, socially, phys? ically and financially. 3rd. That we urge philanthropists and an intelligent public to aid us in driving from our land tbe blighting curse of the liquor traffic, wbichjis destroying so much of the pure home life of our land, inflict? ing its evil touch not only upon those it ensnares but also upon the helpless wo? men and innocent children of bur land, bringing want where there should be plenty, strife where there should be happy peace, crime where there should be useful citizenship, and sin and death where there should be the light of Christian joy and the cheering hope of immortal rest. 4th. That the County papers and the Baptist Courier, be requested to publish this preamble and these resolutions. C. 0. Bunniss, Clerk. Itoe's Great Earthquake Story. Arrangements have been perfected whereby Mr. E. P. Roe's latest work, "Mara; a Story of the Charleston Earth? quake," will be published in the Sunday News and the Weekly Neivs and-Courier. "Mara" is a strong love story that culmi? nates among the terrible scenes of the never to be forgotten earthquake of August 31, 1886V It presents, with dra? matic picturesqueness, a remarkable phase of American experience, and incidentally brings out one great fact?Northern good will towards the South, as shown by the spontaneous outpouring of sympathy and gifts, and the effect of this fraternal spirit on the South. This story will un? doubtedly be the greatest work of a nov-1 elist oft wide-spread popularity. It will be published as a serial, and will begin on the first Sunday in June. As it may not be possible to supply tbe demand for back numbew, everybody should sub? scribe at once for either the Sunday or Weekly News and Courier.
