It is a steam whistle placed in the cab of the locomotive, operated by steam from the bbillers of the. engine, carried through pipes attached to the cars similar to the pipes on the air brakes. We had a pleasant call last Friday from ouryoung friend, James D. Campbell, of this Connty, who has been attending Van derbllt University, Nashville, Tonn., for the past eight months. Mr. Campbell is an excellent, intelligent young man, and stood very high in his classes at the Uni? versity. "I believe," said a staunch citizen in our presence the other day, "that if a good crop is made this year, and the proper man were to take hold of the en? terprise, we could soon get sufficient mon? ey, subscribed to erect a large cotton fac? tory in Anderson." We think so, too, and think that the subject should .be agi? tated. It is said that a young farmer in this County hires a colored man to plow, and in older to see that no time is fooled away he rides the mule so as to face the plow? man, carrying an umbrella over his head ? and using a big fan in order to keep cool. There is a big fortune in store for that young man if he will only continue, to develop his inventive genius. .Rev. S. Lander will preach at Ebenezer on the third Sunday morning, at 11 o'clock. All the membership are request? ed to attend, as the Sacrament will be administered. Those having children to baptize are urged to bring them for? ward and have that duty attended to.

Everywhere the farmers are busy with their growing crops and very few of them come to town. Consequently mer? chants and lawyers and editors have a monopoly of the dull times. The doctors, however, are doing a thriving business, and their visages wear a cheerful and be? nignant expression that is always pleasant to look upon. ? Mr. T. C. McDowell, who, for the past four years, has been section-master be? tween Anderson and Pendleton, on the Blue Ridge-Road, has been transferred to the. Spartanburg <fc Union Road, where ho will take charge of a material train. Mr.'McDowell Is a worthy, energetic young man. aud we are glad to chronicle .his promotion. He is succeeded as sec? tion-master by Mr. Henry Russell. Last Monday morning our young townsman, S. M. McElroy, met with a painful accident, by which he lost the first joint of his left fore-finger. He was aboard the down train on his way to the city, and was, standing on the platform of the car with bis hand grasped to the door facing.' Suddenly the train stopped, the door slammed and the piece of finger dropped to the floor, having been cut square off. Married, on Tuesday morning, 7th inst., at 10 o'clock, at the residence of the bride's sister, Miss Lizrie Williams, in this city, 'by Rev. H. C. Smart, Mr. J. L. Tolbert, of Greenwood, S. C, and Miss Lela Wil? liams, youngest'-daughter of Mr. M. B. Williams, of this Connty. Immediately after the ceremony the couple left for Greenwood, where they will spend a few days, and then go to Spartanburg, where they will reside. Miss. Maggie Williams, of Greenville, Tonn., who has been spending the winter and spring in the city with her grand? mother, Mrs. S. A. Broyles, leaves for her home this evening. Her brother, Mr. Will Williams, arrived in the city yester? day to accompany her home. Their aunt, Mrs. VanWyck, will accompany them and will spend the summer in Tennessee. Miss Williams has made many friends daring her stay in Anderson, all of who m regret to see her leave. A negro infant, about four months old, was found dead in Its cradle in the city last Sunday morning. Coroner Nance was notified, and at once held an inquest. There was no evidence of foul play. The parents stated that the child was apparent? ly as well as usual about midnight when they retired.. After hearing the state? ments of the parents and Dr. M. L. Sharpe, who examined the child, the jury rendered a verdict'that the child came to Its death by visitation of Providence. Miss Fletcher Pauline Barrett died at the residence of her father, Mr. S. J. Bar? rett, in Rook Mills Township, on Monday afternoon, 6th inst., after a brief illness. Miss Barrett was seventeen years old at the time of her death, and had been a member of the Methodist Church for sev? eral years. She was an excellent yonng lady. Her remains were interred in Providence cemetery on Tuesday after? noon, after appropriate funeral services, which were conducted by Rev. J. F. An? derson. . As the Colombia Register grows older it gets livelier and more interesting. The Register deserves and should have the lib? eral support of every business man in Colombia, for Mr. Calvo is certainly giv? ing them the best morning paper that has ever been published in that city. It con? tains all the latest telegraphic news and market reports, and has a correspondent in all of the prominent towns of the State. The Register is well represented in Ander? son by C. Wardlaw^ Esq., who keeps its readers posted as to what is transpiring here. - Mr. Wardlaw will also take sub? scriptions for the paper. . Mrs. Rebecca Kennemer, relict of Mr. Lot Kennemer, died at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. L. W. Gentry, in Hopewell Township, on Sunday after? noon, 5th inst, aged 72 years. Mrs. Ken? nemer resided the greater part of her life in Pick ens Connty, but has been a resi? dent of Anderson Connty for some years past. She was twice married, her first husband being Mr. J. C. Perry. For more than thirty years she was a consis? tent member of the Baptist Church, and was highly esteemed by a wide circle of acquaintances. Her remains were interred at Hope well. Church' on Monday, Rev. J. S. Murray conducting the funeral servi? ces. The Greenville News of the 4th inst., soys: ''A representative of the News on yesterday asked Solicitor Orr about the item from a California newspaper saying that the solicitor's brother, Christie Orr, of Anderson, is in ?California arranging for the settlement of a number of South Car? olina people in that State. Solicitor Orr said his brother had gone to California, probably to lire,' and had been requested by a party of Anderson people to make enquiry for them regarding the possibility of baying a large tract of land there on which a colony could settle. He knew nothing of the particulars or who was going, except that F. C. Whitner. one of the most promising yonng men in Ander? son City, bad decided to go. His impres? sion is, however, that the proposed colony will consist of twelve or fifteen families of well-to-do farming people from differ? ent sections of the connty who believe they can better their condition by going west." ' A- newspaper man attended a pie nie re cently and rashly spoke to a young lady without the formality of an introduction. He happened to sou a great fat caterpillar crawling on her laco collar, and, jumping toward her, said : "Madam permit mo to ?" But the young lady waved him off with an imperious and insulting gesture and said: "How dare you to speak to me without an introduction. You are cer? tainly no gentleman, sir." Here the cater? pillar overbalanced itself and fell down her neck. "Youch! Ohl Oh! Take it off. Oh, please, do take it off somabody!" screamed the fair one. The newspaper man was the only "somebody" around and he said: "I couldn't think of it, madam; I haven't been introduced to the caterpillar." The pio nie given by Miss Mamie Wick llffe's at KeyBr 8pring last Friday was a perfect.success. Amusements of every description were indulged in by the chil? dren. Col. Clinkscales, who was to have delivered the medals, was not present on account of sickness. This duty, there? fore, devolved on Miss Wickliffe, who, with natural grace and fluency of speech, delivered the medals and prizes to the fol? lowing pupils: Miss Bessie Webb, for de? portment, a gold medal; Miss Lizzie Keese, for punctuality, a gold medal; Miss Maude Payne, for punctuality, a prize; Miss Edna Earle, for general excel? lence, a prize; Miss Mania Darden, for neatness and improvement in writing, a prize; Master Archie Todd, in mental arithmetic, a prize. We are in receipt of a copy of the pre? mium list of the Piedmont Exposition, which is to be held at Atlanta, Ga., Octo? ber 10-22,1887.

He had suffered for several months with a malignant carbun? cle ou his side, which proved too severe for bis aged and feeble body. Mr. Telford was born in Anderson County on Janua? ry 12th, 1815, of Scotch-Irish parentage, but moved to Georgia in 1872, settling four miles; sonth of Homer, where he has ever since resided.' For forty-nine years he had been an exemplary and useful mem? ber of the Presbyterian Church, and for many years also a ruling elder. He left four surviving brothers, five sons and six daughters, with many grand-children to mourn his death. A good citizen, an obliging neighbor, a loved and loving brother and father, a devoted and active Christian, and a faithful officer of the Church has passed away. Mr. Telford has many friends and relatives in our County who will read this announcement of bis death with sorrow. Mrs. Matilda Bogers, relict of the late Wm. W. Bogers, died at the home of her sog-in-law, Erwin Mauldin, near Bald Spring, Franklin County, Ga., on Tues? day, the 3lst of May, 1887. The deceased was born and raised In this Connty, where she lived until about two years ago, when she moved to Georgia. She had been twice marrifd. Her first husband was Jason Horard, who was shot and killed by John Barkley on 26th January, 1833, who was hanged in this town on 6th April, 1844, for said offense. She afterward mar? ried Wm. W. Hogers, by whom she raised a largo family of children. Mrs. Bogers was for many years prior to her death a consistent member of the Baptist Church, and a truly devoted mother, and a tender, submissive and loving wife; She was 76 years ? old. The deceased has a host of relatives and many friends in this County who will no doubt deeply sympathize with the afflicted family. All who knew her loved her, and she ever had many good, true friends, and especially was such the case in her last illness. Many of our cit? izens will feel truly thankful to her good neighbors for their kindness to their frier, d and kinswoman. The annual celebration of the Calophe mian Literary Society of the Ligon Insti? tute, which took place last Thursday even? ing in the Court House, was a most inter? esting occasion, and was attended by a large audience, the building being crowd? ed to its utmost seating capacity. The exercises opened with a lively air from the Young America Cornet Band, after which Bev. J. S. Murray offered a fervent prayer. Mr. X. T. Breazeale, President of the Society, then in a few appropriate re? marks, extended a cordial welcome*to the an *ce. The query, "Should the Elec tlv ranchise be extended to Women?" was tuen debated, the affirmative side be? ing represented by Messrs. R. E. Browne and S. C. Todd, and the negative by Messrs. J. B. Towhsend and M. O. Ligou. Mr. Browne being absent, his speech was read by Rev. A. T. Dunlap. The question was handled in an able and interesting manner, and the young orators were fre? quently applauded. At the conclusion of the debate, original speeches were deliver? ed by Messrs. W. L. Anderson, J. B. Har? mon, M. A. Dean and V. M. Barnes, all of whom acquitted themselves admirably. All of the speeches were well prepared and well delivered. The Young America Cornet Band rendered some fine selections of music at intervals during the evening. Belton Items. Last Sunday morning, Rev. Charles Manly, D.D., preached from Ex. xlv, 15. "And the Lord said unto Moses, speak unto the children of Israel that they go, forward." In this discourse he set forth the importance of work. There is a time for prayer and meditation, but there Is also a time when we must rise, and in all our might, go forward. Obstacles will never be removed by our lying supinely on our backs, but by our moving against them if duty calls us. The application : It is the duty of Christians to make a solid front against all immorality (e. g., intemperance) both social and political. No man can remain fixed, but must move forward. This was one of the Doctor's Qnest efforts, being listened to by a large and appreciative audience. Last Wednesday evening, 1st inst., we bad quite a severe rain and hail storm. The fall of rain was very heavy in all sections near this place, but. the nail was destructive in only a few localities. There is a few places of a small extent where the cotton looks to be utterly ruined. At the last meeting of the reading club the following officers were elected for the next term: W. E. Campbell, president; W. H. Geer, vice-president; E. B. Rice, secretary and treasurer. W. E. B. Lebanon Items. - - Though Dr. Duckworth ia very much j worn out by his constantly visiting the sick, yot we learn that he reports all his patients doing well. The recent rains, though pretty heavy in some parts of the community, have done no serious damages. However, a few gul ! lies have been washed out, which will soon be filled up again by frequently plowing across them. Crops aro in as good condition as could he expected, taking into consideration the amouut of sickness with which this com? munity has been afflicted. There is no one's crops, in the present knowledge of the writer, that is suffering a great deal for want of work; though we admit that some crops would do better if more attention was given them. The farmers are whetting their scythes for the purpose of cutting the golden grain, which, in this part, will not consume much time, as the amount to cut is not very large. Wheat, generally, is not very good; though we find an occasional patch that is tolerably fine. The painting of the church building is almost completed, which greatly adds to its appearance. On Saturday and Sunday we had the pleasure of hearing two excellent sermons preached by our worthy pastor, Rev. J. S. Murray. On Sunday he preached from the subject of civic Christianity, dwelling for the most part on the subject of temper? ance. Iu this discourse, Mr. Murray pre? sented intemperance in its most horrid appearance; and then gave strong reasons why we, as a Christian people, should pro? hibit the liquor traffic. Having concluded his sermon, Mr. Murray requested that all, both old and young, male and female, who favored prohibition as the Murray Bill means to have it, should stand. This request being promptly complied with, it was noticed that nearly the whole audi? ence was on its feet. This shows that this section of the County means Prohibition. Let us hear from other sections of the Connty on the subject of Prohibition; and let us all pull together. Wake up, gentle? men ! wake up! It is time we were com? ing to some decision as to how we are go? ing to vote. Don't be to easily led by what other people say; but considers for yourselves whether it is better to prevent an evil or to let it go unmolested. The next meeting of the Saluda Baptist Association will be held at this place, and the people are already looking forward to the time, making preparations. The church has appointed a committee of three, Messrs. Jeptha Harper, T H. Welborn, and T. T. Wakefield, to make the necessary arrangements for the enter? tainment of delegates, etc. Apleasantand interesting occasion is anticipated. Demos. Fork Items. The Sunday School at Cedar Grove is in a flourishing condition, having over one hundred and twenty names on its roll. Mr. J. .A. Hatcher, the efficient superintendent, is the right man in the right place, and is doing a good work. Crops look nne, and' everybody seem cheerful over the prospect. Wheat has not reached its usual height, but is'well ma? tured, and will soon be ripe. It is delightful to ride over the roads since they have received their first working under the new law, and we Bay hurrah for Mr. Murray and the road law. We think prohibition is gaining ground, as our anti-friends do not have much to say since the law wa3 re published, and we hope by August td be able to give a large majority in its favor. W. H. We had rain during the week in showers to answer all demands ; some showers, however, were very hard ones, and In some places washed the lands badly. As a gene? ral thing it did very Utile damage in this section. The crops look fine in every di? rection, though Borne of our neighbors are somewhat behind with their work, and have let their crop suffer for the want of work at the proper time. Wheat is now ripe, and you can see the harvesters at work in every field. A few have reapers, and are doing good work where the land was properly prepared. Everybody seems to be anxious to have their grain stored away, and not allow it a chance to spoil in the field. The iron bridge near Sloan's Ferry now spans half across the river, and soon will reach the other bank. Ivoa. I will give you some news from the west? ern part of Fork Township. Crops look fine. The best stand of cotton I ever saw. Upland corn is growing finely, and more planted than for many years. The wheat and oat crop will be a good average one, if no disaster befalls it. If the present week is favorable the cotton will all be brought to a stand, and pi j wed the second time. The corn and cotton prospect in this sec? tion is the best I have seen for many years. The land has been better prepared, and so far better cultivated than usual, Mr. G. N. C. Boleman, our school teach? er, closed his school the first of April, and gone to work on his farm. If we had more educated farmers, we would have better farming. Mr. Boleman has erected a fine house on his farm, beautifully situated.* I went over into Cracker's Neck the other day to find out how they stood on prohi? bition. They are all of one mind, and speak the same thing?no dissenting voice against prohibition. This speaks well for Cracker's Neck. Perhaps many people in the County would like to know how it re? ceived the name of Cracker's Neck. It was named by the late M. S. McKay and Ar? chibald Cole years ago. Perhaps at some other time I will give a history of it. It is the territory between the County line and Big Beaverdam and Tugalo River?good farming lands. If you will look on the County map you will see where Cracker's Neck is situated. Vt e are making an effort to get a Post office established at Mr. G. N. C. Boleman's, not far from the Beaverdam office, which was discontinued several years ngo. The proposed new office will be named Furman. It will be a great convenience to the neigh? borhood. G. W. M. Craytonvlllo Items. The drouth was ended iu this section 31st ult., by a rain which fell in torrents, and lasted only about twenty-five minutes. An equal amount of waterfall, probably, never did so great damage to upland before; the ground being so loose. The golden grain is now being harvested, which is much better than was supposed, It is free from rust, but is slightly diseased with what is called scab. A good wheat crop would help the farmers considerably. People have turned their attention, to some extent, to raising sorghum. Al? though it may not meet with ready sale, yet every farmer should raise enough for home consumption. As the old darky says, ''lasses is a good thing to have." Peo? ple can get labor for it, and barter it for something they have not. We noticed sometime since that either the '?Intelligencer," or one of its corres? pondents, requested the farmers of this County to take an 'account of the cost of the different kinds of crops they raised this year, and ascertain which would be most profitable to raise. We took an account of the labor and expense of our corn and cotton crops last year and am doing so this year. We were so astonished at the expense of our cotton crops that we determined to curtail our cotton crop this year. Probably at some future time we will give to the readers of the "Intellioen ceb" the cost of our last cotton crop." Vox. Thoroughbred Jersey Red Pigs for sale, Apply to E. B. Murray. Holland'?

In our rambles a few days ago, wo had the pleasure of hearing Rev. E. R. Cars well preach two of his inimitable ser? mons. Mr. Carswell promised us that he would visit South Carolina soon, and give us a lecture on temperance. Eyery one knows, who has ever heard Mr. Cars well, that he is as much at home on the temperance stage as he is in the pulpit. Our peoplo are always glad to hear him on any subject, as his equal is rarely met with. We will give timely notice of the time and place of the meeting at which he is to speak. An old colored man named Balam Simpson, familiarly known as undo Bale, died a few days ago in this vicinity at the advanced age of about 'JO years. He was an humble, inoffensive, kind-hearted old man, and witbal a truo Christian. He always regarded the white man as his best frieud; always voted the Democratic ticket, and walked circumspectly before God and man. We attended Cross Roads Church last Sunday. Mr. Allen, the Pastor, preached an excellent sermon. Mr. Allen "hews to the line, regardless of where the chips fall." He is none of your milk: and cider, hold with the hare and run with the hounds kind of men, but distinctly speaks his convictions, which is truly a redeem? ing trait. Among the many short comings which the human family is heir to, in our esti? mation, there is none that shows In? breeding, disrespect to God and a genuine destitution of every ingredient that goes to make up a lady or gentleman, more than misbehavior in Church. Burke. Seal's creek Items. The successful gardeners are now feasting on beans, peas and potatoes. The peach crop is almost a complete failure, but ap? ples are more plentiful. Col. John G. Clinkscales has accepted an invitation to address the Neal's Creek Sun? day School on next third Sunday morning at ten o'clock. The Colonel will doubtless have a well filled house. This sec tion was visited on. last Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon by heavy rains. On Wednesday it was accompanied by hail, which cut up the cotton and corn conside? rably in some places. Most of the road overseers in this section have had their roads worked according to law, and they are now in fine condition. Most of our people are in favor of the late law, all are in favor of good roads, but some are not in favor of doing their part of the work. Let the laws be enforced-upon all able-bodied men who fail to work the road, and shirking will soon be a thing of the past. Mr. Jas. E. Horton has several acres of the finest rye the writer has seen.
