The match game of base ball in this
city last Friday afternoon between the
Donaldsville and Anderson Clubs was
almost one sided, our boys being defeated
by a score qf 19 to 4. Another game was
played early Saturday morning with
about the same resnlt. The Donaldsville
Club is composed of a clever set of boys,
and some of them are fine ball players.
Our boys should organize and practice, or
they should not play any more match
games.
The pic nie at the iron bridge over Sen?
eca River! at Sloan's Ferry, on last Satur?
day was well attended and was a most
pleasant occasion. The crowd enjoyed
the pleasure of a day on the River, and
were interested in the bridge, which is
about completed. In the afternoon short
speeches were made by Messrs. ?. B.
Murray, W. H. Frierson and W. A.
Brownlee. A sumptuous pic nie dinner
was provided, and the day passed most
pleasantly throughout.
An exchange says it is not often that we
have a dry spring followed by a dry fall.
It is probable that our fall gardens will be
good. Plant beans every three weeks on
to the middle of August. Squashes plant?
ed now make a fine fall crop and so do
cucumbers. If tomato seed are now
planted they will come on in time for a
-late fall crop. As a general thing there is
always a scarcity of garden vegetables in
September and October, just because the
gardeners fail to plant the seed.
One day last week Mr. M. B. Heller, of
Fork Township, exhibited in our office a
model of a plow which he has recently
invented. It is a reversible combination
cultivator, and Mr. Heller claims that it
will do the work of three plows in laying
by cotton. It can be changed into a side
harrow, double-foot or cultivator, and one
horse can pull it. Any kind of foot or
point can be attached to the stock, and it
can be used in plowing one or three rows
at a single passage The plow will cer?
tainly be a favorite with the farmers.
The Young Men's Christian Associa?

Friday night the topic, "Should those en?
gaged in Christian work advocate the sale
of liquor, and if s j, why ?" will be dis?
cussed, and will be opened by E. V. Gas
saway. An invitation is extended to
their white friends who feel an interest in
this subject to attend the session that
night.
We are requested to announce that there
will be an excursion on the Air Line Road
to Ben Cleveland (formerly Fort Madi?
son) on Thursday, 28th inst, to the un?
veiling of the Ben Cleveland monument.
Hon. R. A. Child, of Pickens, will deliver
the address. This monument is a Quincy
granite shaft, fifteen feet in height, very
handsome, and erected by members of the
Cleveland family of South Carolina, Ten?
nessee and Georgia in honor of Col. Ben.
Cleveland, a hero of the Revolution, one
of the successful commanders at the battle
of King's Mountain, and a pioneer of
Northwestern South Carolina.
A flash of lightning on Tuesday after?
noon ignited some 2,000 balos of cotton in
warehouse No. 1, at Pelzer Mills, in this
Connty, and rapidly consumed tbem.
The spread of the fire was prevented by
water, 900 gallons per minute thrown by
the rotary engine. Capt. Smytbe thinks
a good leal of the cotton will be saved.
He says the employees of the mill worked
manfully and bravely, and that by their
energy and quickness the fire was sub?
dued In a remarkably short time. The
mill was at work again by 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, and will not be shut down. All -.
the loss is covered by insurance in the
New England Mutuals. It will be be?
tween $80,000 and $100,000.
A competitive examination forPeabody

mation concerning the scholarships will

The Normal Institute opened at Wil
liamston on Monday with about one hun?
dred teachers present, and no doubt by
this time this number has increased con?
siderably. The County is well represent?
ed. The Institute will continue for two
weeks, and the exercises throughout will
be exceedingly interesting. Those of our
teachers who are not present have missed
a most excellent opportunity to improve
themselves. Col. Clinkscales has labored
bard to make the Institute a success, and
no donbt he now feels that his efforts have
not been in vain. The citizens of Wil
liamston are leaving nothing undone that
will tend to increase the pleasure and
comfort of the teachers during the session.

are invited to be present. The surviving
soldiers in the late war aro especially in?
vited to meet with the survivors of this
regiment. Those who attend will have a
most pleasant time.
The July number of The Cotton riant
is more than usually attractive. In addi?
tion to a large amount of seasonable mat?
ter by the editor, it contains a fine likeness
of the late Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken with an
admirable sketc. of his life, and a mass
of other matter covering a variety of sub?
jects of interest to the farmers. The
Grange, the Farm, the Household, the
Poultry Yard, and other departments are
well filled, while in the Farm and Indus?
trial Notes are brought together various
matters touching agricultural and indus?
trial progress iu South Carolina, with an
occasional pertinent comment by the
editor. Tlie Cotton Plant is printed at
Greenville at the low price of 60 cents a
year. Write for specimen copy.
There are a few chronic grumblers in
Anderson, and whenever a new enterprise
of any sort is mentioned, they at once dis?
courage it, and say it won't pay. Such
men are a drawback to the welfare and
prosperity of any place, and the sooner
they are out of the way the better. An?
derson is oue of the most solid towns of
the State, and it is the duty of every citi?
zen to encourage every effort to build it up
or iucrease its population. Let our young
men keep wide awake. It is to them that
the future destiny of the city appeals.
Don't sleep while there is a thing you can
do. When a stranger comes here show
him around, and make him feel that you
have an interest in him and would like to
have him become one or 'is. When you
meet one of these chronic grumblers, try
to talk him into a good humor, and if he
persists in grumbling, kick him.
Last Thursday afternoon an eight-year
old negro girl, residing on Mr. R. Q. An?
derson's plantation, in Broadwi v Town?
ship, met with a most terrible accident,
which caused her death. A fire had been
kindled around an oven in the fire-place
to cook some bread, but the fire had gone
out and the girl was instructed to rekindle
it. To make a quick fire, she secured a
can of kerosene oil and was in the act of
pouring the oil on the fire, when it sud?
denly blazed up, exploding the can and
throwing tho oil over her clothes, which
ignited. The girl rau out of the house to
her brother, who was near by, and he suc?
ceeded in getting her clothing oil of her,
but not before she was terribly burned.
The skin on her breast and legs came off
with her clothing. Dr. McFall was called
to see the unfortunate girl, and did every?
thing possible to alleviate her sufferings.
She survived until 11 o'clock that night,
when death came to her relief.
Patrick's Military Institute.
. It is with great pleasure that we an?
nounce that the Board of D hectors of tho
Anderson Educational Association have
leased the University property to Capt, J.
B. Patrick, the able and popular Princi?
pal of the Greenville Military Institute.
He will at once become a resident of
Anderson. His school will be discontin?
ued at Greenville, and about the middle
of September will be opened in this city,
and will be known as Patrick's Military
Institute. It is also with pleasure that
we anuounce that Prof. W. J. Ligon will
be associated with Capt. Patrick, who
will also be assisted by his son, Prof. J.
M. Patrick.
This assures Anderson a most excellent
male Academy, and it is tho duty of every
citizen who feels any interest in the
future welfare of our city to give this
school bis most earnest and cordial sup?
port. Capt. Patrick's reputation as a
teacher is well-known throughout the
State, as bis school at Greenville has been
liberally patronized from almost every
section of the State. This patronage will
follow him to Anderson, and with a lib?
eral local patronage we will soon have a
school that will be a credit not only to our
city, but to the State.
Anderson is a pleasant, healthy city, and
parents can find no training school any?
where in the State where such combined
advantages are offered, m our opinion, for
educating young men. Capt. Patrick is a
thorough mathematician and a polished
scholar in literature, while Prof. Ligon
is one of the finest linguists in the State.
Capt. Patrick was a Professor in the Cit?
adel, and Prof. Ligon is a graduate of the
South Carolina College. Each of them
has had over thirty years of successful
experience in teaching young men, and
in addition they will be assisted by Prof.
J. M. Patrick, a young gentleman of
fine attainments and popular manners,
who will be a valuable addition to the
corps of able teachers of this Institute.
These excellent advantages are still
further enhanced by the natural advan?
tages of the city. With a climate as fine
as can be found in the State, excellent
church advantages and fine social sur?
roundings, there is nothing lacking to
make Anderson the location of the lead?
ing training school for young men in the
State.
Holland's Store Items.
By invitation, Rev. H. M. Allen will
preach on prohibition at Ruhamah on
next Sunday night. Rev. W. H. King
preached an excellent sermon on the
same theme at Shiloh a few Sundays ago.
His sermon was well received, and no
doubt will bring forth fruit in due season.
As the time for the election approaches,
the people seem to become more and
more enthused on tho subject. The fence
riders are tumbling oft on the right side
almost daily, and the prospect for a good
majority is splendid.
Rev. Mr. Attaway touched on the sub?
ject of temperance on last Sunday in his
sermon at Ruhamah, in which he put in
some good licks.
We have had fino rains in this section
recently. Crops of all kinds are boom?
ing. Our farmers will about finish up
their labors this week, and then trust to
Providence for the result, which from all
appearances now, will meet their most
sanguine hopes.
Mr. J. S. Scales, who has been confined
to his room for about a year, is gradually
growing worse, and from all appearances
cannot last much longer.
Mr. Ben West, who lost a child a few
weeks past, has another quite ill at this
time. We trust that the little one will be
restored to health, and Mr. West and
family be spared a double ailliction.
Mr. David Tippins and wife have the
sympathy of this vicinity in the death of
their little boy, which occurred on Friday,
the 1st of July.
Rev. W. H. King will conduct a meet?
ing at the Grove Church, commencing
the 5th Sunday in this month. Every?
thing favorable, it will, perhaps, go on for
several days.
Rev. B. M. Pack, who has been resting
iu order to recuperate his health for the
last month, will bo at his post again at
Shiloh on the Fourth Sunday evening,
and Saturday before at 11 o'clock a. m.
Let the members try to be present one
and all as well as the community in gen?
eral, as Mr. Pack will preach on an inter?
esting subject both days. Those who
fail to be present will miss a treat.
Buitic?.
We have had splendid rains. Crops and
prohibition are on a boom. If our farmers
are heard to boast a little over the flatter?
ing prospects of their crops, we think it
perfectly allowable, for surely they haye
performed their part nobly, and if no dis?
aster overtakes them in the future, they
will be most graciously rewarded with an
abundant harvest at gathering time.
Opposition to prohibition is giving away
rapidly, many persons who, a few weeks
ago, openly expressed themselves as being
opposed to prohibition, now say that if
they do not vote for it, they will not vote
against it. This change in the minds of
the people is due, in a large measure, to
sermons preached by L, M. King, of Geor
gia, and A. McSwain Attawny, at Ruha
mab, W, H. King, at Shiloh, W. A.
Hodges, at Bethsada, and H. M. Allen, at
Cross Roads. Without a reaction takes
place in the minds of the people, we feel
safe in saying that on election day the
anties will be found in a most hopeless
minority in Savannah Township. Can we
not all hope, Mr. Editor, that on election
day the noble men of Anderson County
will be found voting on the side for which
the dear women are earnestly praying.
The many friends of Mr. B. H. Hodges
and A. P. Alcwinearo glad to welcome
them back from a six or seven months
?stay in Florida. We hear it reported that
they will return to the "Land of Flowers"
at some future time. We hope not. There
is room in Anderson Connty for snch
worthy young men, and we hope they will
make up their minds to stay and occupy it.

Farmers are about done laying by their
crops. They have worked faithfully dur?
ing the past few months, and well deserve
a little recreation. If seasons continue
favorable they will be amply rewarded for
their labors.
Mr. J. H. Harbin will sing at Neal's
Creek on Sunday, the 24th inst., at nine
o'clock. Mr. Harbin is a fine musician,
and will doubtless attract a large crowd.
Mr. Silas M. Major has the largest and
finest piece of bottom corn in this section.
Mr. Major is one of our largest and most
successful young farmers. He knows how
to economize, and never allows his expen?
ses to overrun the profits. He keeps a
memorandum of what be buys and sells,
and at the end of the year knows exactly
bow he stands. We need more just such
farmers.
Rev. D. W. Hiott will preach at Neal's
Creek next Sunday morning at eleven
o'clock, on the subject of prohibition. Mr.
Hiott's reputation as an able speaker
insures him a well-filled bouse.
Revs. Baxter Hayes preached a most for?
cible sermon at LongBrrvch on last first
Sunday, on the subject of prohibition, and
it seemed to be very effective.
We attended church at Shady Grove last
Saturday, and heard a very interesting
sermon preached by Rev. M. McQee. They
are busily engaged making preparation for
the Sunday School Institnte, which con?
venes there next Friday, the 15th inst.
We found crops very fine, though needing
rain.
Watermelons are getting ripe, and the
small boy thumps all that have shed the
blossom.
It was our pleasure to attend the exhibi?
tion given by Mr. W. P, Holland' school,
at Lebanon last Friday. The exercises
were very interesting, and did credit to
both teachers and pupils. The exhibition
was a a success in every particular,

Okku k of County Cosimissjonkr?,
Anderson, S. C, July 5, 1887.
M r. Editor : We respectfully ask asuial
space in the columns of your valuable
paper to make a statement of the way we
conduct a part of the business in our office,
as it appears that the Grand Jury at the
last term of Court formed an erroneous
idea of the same, which is calculated to
mislead public sentiment. They based
their criticism on a mere opinion instead of
ths solid facts.
In referring to the management of the
business in our office, they commence by
saying:
"We are not altogether satisfied with the
methods pursued in the County Commis?
sioners office. Wc think the accounts against
the County are approved without sufficient
investigation of their correctness, and es?
pecially is this the case in the department
of repairing bridges and highways,.and we
would recommend that such accounts be
required to be itemized, so as to show the
quantity and class of material used and
labor performed."
In answer to the abovo, we would beg
leave to inform the public that there is
very little public work done of any kind
without the Commissioners are first inform*
ed of the amount of work wanted, and as
a rule a special contract is then made?ei
their public or private?in which the class
and quantity of material to be used is spe?
cified, after which the work, when com?
pleted, is inspected by one or more of the
members of our Hoard. Where this is the
case there is no need of an itemized ac?
count. Where there is no special contract,
and the amount is small, our calculation is
always based on itemized statements of the
class and quantity of material used and
amount of labor performed, &c. Thin has
been our general practice for the past two
years. We closely examine all claims pre?
sented for payment before approving them,
and if any doubt is entertained as to their
correctness, they lay over until informa?
tion is fully obtained as to their correctness
before acting on them.
At our first regular meeting in last Jan?
uary we made a rule not to audit any more
accounts where there was no special con?
tract, unless they were itemized and sworn
to. That rule has been strictly adhered to
ever since. There are claims now in our
office that have been there for the post six
months which have not been approved be?
cause they are not itemized, and they will
not be approved by us until they aro item?
ized,
Had the Grand Jury examined the claims
presented for payment since the first of Jan.
nary last they must have known our pres?
ent practice. So, Mr. Editor, you see that
there is nothing new to us in the recom?
mendation of the Grand Jury, as we have
already been acting on it before the Grand
Jury was organized for this year.
management OF the POOR HOl'se.
The Grand Jury also recommend that the
Steward of the poor house bo required to
make the County Commissioners a month?
ly report of the provisions, clothing, and
other articles purchased and expenses in the
conduct of the poor house during that
month. This has not been done by any of
the previous Stewards, nor does the law re?
quire it, but the recommendation is very
nearly the present practice. The Steward
at the poor house keeps an itemized account
of the expenses for each month. When he
buys any article for the poor house he gets
a hill from the merchant from whom the
goods are purchased and files it in our
office. This has been our practice ever
since January, 1884. In addition to (hat
we compare bills when presented for pay?
ment with those hills on file in our office as
furnished by the Steward.
The following statement, will show the
average expense per day on each pauper,
including the Steward's salary, medical
treatment, including medicine, farm labor,
etc. Full amount of expense 32,161.15,
which is an average of 42i cents per day
for each pauper. Of this amount $25.00
may be deducted for medical treatment and
medicine furnished the jail, which would
make the average about 13? cents per head
daily.
The Grand Jury also complains about the
amount of tobacco used at the poor house,
and recommend the tobacco rations be re?
duced. All paupers that use tobacco have
it issued to them, some getting one plug
and others only half a plug each week and
no more. This tobacco costs 7 cents per
plug. About thirty use tobacco, and at that
rale it costs about $00.60 a year. This is a
moderate allowance of tobacco, and when
the presentment was read his Honor Judge
Aldiich took occasion to say to the Grund
Jury that he did not agree with them in
recommending a reduction in the tobacco
issued to the paupers. The poor house with
the same number of paupers cannot be run
with less expense at the present prices of
provisions without depriving the paupers of
a part of the prime necessities of life.
As the criticism by the Grand Jury seemed
to reflect a little upon the present Steward
at the poor house, we must say in his he
half that his management throughout,
since he has been at the poor house, has
been most excellent, and that his integrity
stands above suspicion.
Our office is open to any and all of the
tax-payers of the county. If any are not
satisfied with the foregoing explanation we
will take great pleasure in explaining any?
thing that may be desired.
