In addition to.giv ., ing the figures^he submitted .with his re : turn, exhibits which were conclusive of the'mat^ter. His return was fair," clear 'j,'and cohEvincing.

Judge Norton took the papers and announced that he would render an order on'Tuesday morning. ;-'!tte Judge presided with absolute dig jtmj^'fairnesa and courtesy, and during ft--, the fwhole case indicated, nothing as to ^^ wh^t>hia>opinion would be, but the P^T^iw13^both prohibitionists,and anti-pro pj'-bihitioDist, were practically agreed that thy election ;would be ordered.. The Commissioners went to work that after Boon, and so far' verified Mr. Wilhite's lg|ttru,' -hat they announced upon the ! f streets that evening that there would be an "election, and oh.Tuesday morning th? Commissioners decided to publish the election, before the order Of Judge ^'Norton arrived. The order, however, ; came, and directed the Commissioners to K; receive petitions up to the 15th of Au |f - gust inclusive, and to publish the Super? visors of Registration and, Managers of| Election. The result of the litigation ? 'Sras.entirely satisfactory to the pr?hibi . tionists, and has been received in good :-. temper all around. The contest has been sharp and acrimonious at times, but now, that the battle is over, a better feeling exists,, and each side in ready, to go into the canvass for the election with ?a determination to win. In. our judgment, the prohibitionists will win on the 16th, j oat as they have done in each successive stage of this fight. The city of Anderson ought to have a large cotton factory, It would add largely to our population and resources. We get 20,000 bales of ..cotton now, on which the earnings of handling do not add more, than $i0,000, probably, to the P &come of ??r city. If we could manu '' fecture 10,000 bales it would leave prob? ably half a million dollars per year, which.would bepaid out and circulated here, whether the seasons are wet or dry. It" would give a brisk market for cotton, and a constant demand for all kinds of farm prodnce. Every man in the city,, and every farmer in reach of this market, would be benefited by it, for it would give purchasers for corn, meat, , poultry, vegetables and, all productions of the :&rm. Factories all through the South are paying good dividends. Men who I^.have stock in, factories are taking large I :'blocks of stock in new factories, which iumjw that the investment pays. Steam ""^fsit^ries in Darlington, Newberry and 'other.points are prosperous, and a large ^S?^fa^f?fy 'feiboihg erected in Green ^&Ml^^efi^e oi' the factories run; by ^?w^r,^h^^^ipo, in a large measure ^i?^b'ojrder^-xnt 'Uie water mills. This Ir ahows that steam Factories can be made ^'fpj^^rM^:'y^QIiaye an admirable mau 'in>M)r'^m^uiiity to be at the head of.| accb an; enterprise. The city. and. I^e ^'^ortafi^'W:int^tfd/in this kind of I ( It will pay, the Btock*1 I holders, and at tbe same time promote the highest interests of the public. Who will lead in the work of organizing a cotton mill. . . , The Commissioners of. Election. have in most, if not all cases, appointed two anti prohibitionists out, of every three Managers'of Election. They have ad? mitted that the prohibitionists have a majority of the owners of real estate, and' therefore, according to onr ideas of parliamentary practice, we should have been entitled to the majority of the man agersr-' The 'majority''"of the Commis? sioners, however, thought otherwise. The prohibitionists proposed to them to take the same managers these same Com? missioners appointed for the last State election. This they declined, though it seems to us to have been fair, as if they were good enough to manage a State election they were certainly good enongh for this one. There is no trouble to be expected from these appointments. We will have a fair election, and we hope the.question will be settled at last. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER, Washington, D. C.t July 25,1887. The officials at the Signal Service Bureau report that with but a single exception, Monday last was the hottest day that has been experienced in Wash? ington since that Bureau has been in existence. At m id day, thermometers in various parts of the city indicated the "temperature to be from 100 to 107 degrees, .while a thermometer placed upon the asphalt pavement and exposed fa - the . rays of the sun registered 184 degrees. Tim extreme heat resulted in the almost universal Suspension of work upon buildings iu course of construction, and in.several of the Departments the clerks were dismissed at an early hour for the. day. Although there were numerous 'instances in which persons, were overcome by the heat, there were but few cases which resulted fatally. Fortunately, the extremely high temper? ature was of short duration, and was succeeded by a cool wave, which render? ed life much more enjoyable. The work upon , the new terraces, and the magnificent staircase at the west front of the Capitol is being pushed for? ward as rapidly as possible, the only interruption being that occasioned by the excessively hot weather. The work has reached that point which renders it necessary to remove the fountain as well as the oval fish pond, which it will be remembered occupied the space between, the old staircase wings. The old foun? tain and basin, together with the. beauti? ful gold fish which for many years have been admired by visitors, who have rarely passed the basin without stopping for a moment to admire the countless bits of animated gold, as they darted about in the clear water of the basin, will be removed to the grounds bf the National Insane Asylum near tbe city. Ic is said at the State Department that the number of Americans who have left this country for Europe, has never before been equalled in the history of the De? partment. . It is estimated that 25,000 , jurists have sailed from. the United States . since the first of April. The records of the department show that more than, four thousand passports were issued during the months of April, May, June and the early part of July, and more than four-fitbs of the tourists sail without passports. This unusually large vexodus is probably to be in a measure accounted for by the recent jubilee cele? bration of Queen Victoria. A majority of those who have applied for passports are Germans, who desire to be protected against the army regulations of the fatherland, while Americans who intend visiting Turkey, Russia, Italy or Spain, invariably procure passports before lead? ing the United States, as tbe regulations of these countries are sometimes severe upon tourists. : The count of coin and other securities, which has been in progress at the Treas? ury Department since May 23rd, was completed during the past week. Although upon examination of tbe bags in the silver vaults it was found that several' of the bags were short two or three pieces, each of these were gradually recovered during the progress of the count, until all ?rere found, and the com-, mittee reported that' there is not a deficiency of a single penny in the amount supposed to be contained in tbe vaults. H. l?shing a Mormon. - . Yorkville, July 22.?We are informed. that on Wednesday night a party of men visited the. home of Rich? ard Harkness, a white man, who lives about seven miles southwest of town, and who bad espoused the Mormon reli? gion, and gave him a thrashing. They gave him twenty-five lashes well laid on, and notified him that if he was in the State ten days hence he would receive another visit, and that the result would be more serious. Harkness is said to be a thorough Mormon. In addition to teaching the doctrine of tbe church it is said that since his conversion he has taken unto himself two additional wives. York County, at least, certain sections of it, seems to be a favorite field with, the Mormons, but it appears that the good people of those particular sections in which they have been operating have determined to put a stop to their work.? News and Courier. Lightning in a Printing Shop. WrNNSBOBO, July 21.?During a heavy thunder shower late yesterday afternoon, the printing office of the News and Herald was struck by lightning.. The electric current descended the chim? ney to the second floor where it rebounded. Pieces of plastering were knocked twenty-five feet. Mr. W. M. Propst was at his case setting type for to-day's paper. The current struck him knocking him senseless. The hair of his right arm was scorched, and tbe current went down his back leaving a blue mark to show its course, and large blisters on his heels show where the current left his body. Messrs. Williams and Mc Creight received severe shocks. Mr. Williams was at his case with a stick of type in his hand. The stick was knocked out of the window, but Mr. Williams did not lose consciousness and immediately dispatched Mr. McCreight for a physi? cian. Mr. Propst remained unconscious for about ten minutes. He is better to? day. Messrs. Williams and McCreight are at their places again.?News and Cou? rier._. ? An experiment some time since, made to ascertain the extreme thinness which it was possible to obtain in rolled iron, showed as tbe result a sheet of about the substance of writing paper?in fact, 150 sheets would be required to con? stitute one inch of substance. J Mashed to Death on the Track. New York, July 21.?One of those frightful accidents which come with ap j palling Buddenness, where there is no apparent reason why they could not be easily avoided, took place this morning on the Erie Railroad, between Allendale and Hohokus. The catastrophe was at? tended with appalling loss of life, and over a dozen mangled bodies on the track attested the neglect of some one whose duty it Bhould have been to give warning of tbe impending disaster. A gang of Italian laborers were at work blasting on the railroad a little distance from a sharp curve, about three-fourths of a mile above Hohokus. The Chicago express, which was due an hour before, bad not arrived, and these men, whose foreman should have given a warning whistle when the train was approaching tbe sharp curve, were busy at work, unconscious of the terrible fate which was in store for them. At a quarter-past 7- o'clock train No. 12, the express, which was due the hour previous, rushed round the curve, before the men bad the slightest warning, and dashed through them, killing twelve or fifteen on the spot and Wounding many others. The shrieks of the victims were heart rending, and when the train slowed up the track presented a sicken? ing sight, being covered with mangled bodies, the ?uls spattered with blood and broken limbs and pieces of ragged flesh scattered in all directions. Some of the bodies were mangled beyond description and crushed ont of all semblance of hu? manity. To most of the victims death must have been instantaneous, but some of them appeared to be yet quivering: and life ebbing away when the train was brought to a standstill. There was only fifteen minutes delay, and the train, which had wrought so mnch disaster, proceeded on its way from Allendale to Hohokus. The question of who is to blame is yet to be settled, but it is claimed that it was the doty of tbe fore? man of the gang of laborers to watch for approaching trains at a dangerous curve, and that he muBt have neglected to give the warning whistle. 1 Mr. W. S. Hudson, a passenger on a local train which was behind the Chicago express, in conversation with a reporter, described the scene bb one of the most sickening that could be witnessed. "Along the tracks," he said, "werearms, legs, trunks, and other parts of bodies, and the tracks for a long distance were slippery with blood. The disaster must have taken place with such appalling suddenness that the men did not know until the train was down on them. The conductor of the train on which I rode said that the train hands of the express were not to blame. He believed that the foreman of the gang was responsible for the disaster by neglecting to give wsfning." Another account of the terrible acci? dent, says: "About one hundred Italians were at work on the road bed when tbe train came along and the Italians stepped on to the other track to allow it to pass, but just then the Chicago express thundered down on them at the rate of fifty miles an hour and literally mowed its way through, slinging the unfortunates right and left, tearing legs and arms and heads off and grinding the flesh into the road? bed for 200 or 300 feet. So fierce was the shock that, although the engine struck nothing but human beings, the powerful cow catcher was torn, twisted and broken into pieces. Some of the Italians were crowded against the rocks in a very narrow space. The engineer of tbe express train reversed his engine and was coming to a stop, when the passengers told him to go ahead. Looking back tbey saw the uninjured Italians acting like maniacs. They were' yelling, gesticulating and tearing their olotbes. Some were kneeling and others dashing about in the middle of the ghastly pile of mangled bodies. When they saw the train stopping tbey made a rush for it, and bad they reached it they undoubtMly would have murdered tbe engineer, fireman and conductor. For this reason it was deemed best to come on to Jersey City, where the engi? neer and conductor were closeted with tbe officers of the road, and away from I where they could be interviewed." Mr. March, the padrone who supplied the Erie Railroad Company with its Italian laborers, arrived early at Pater son. He identified the'men by means of | their numbers, which are written on slips and carried by the men in little tin boxes. Six or seven hundred dollars was found on the persons of the dead men, and was taken by March to be handed by him to the Italian consul at New York in trust for their relatives. March's action was tbe source of indig? nation to tbe other Italians, who wanted to take charge of the money themselves. They would have mobbed him, only for the timely interference of two policemen. A Boy Drowned Greenville, July 21.?While bath? ing in Reedy River near the ice.factory this afternoon, Herbert McGee, the four? teen-year old son of J. M. McGee, a prominent merchant here was drowned. Half a dozen companions were with bim when he got into what is known as "The Ten Hole." He could swim a little, but for some unexplained cause he sank and before aid could be summoned to the spot was dead, none of his companions being able to save bim.?Correspondence News and Courier. Asleep on the Track, Marion, July 21.?Jacob A. Biggs of Florence, foreman of the trestle gang on the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, was killed last night at Nichol's by the fast mail train going North. Biggs was lying across the track, asleep, his head reating upon a chair, when he was struck. His body was horribly mu? tilated and strewn along the track for several m'* - He was about 27 years old and un rried. The Register corres? pondent this morning accompanied the Coroner to the scene, where a jury was empaneled and a verdict rendered in ac? cordance with the above facts. Choked to Death With Fat. A remarkable case is that of Clarisa Padgett, a colored woman who died on Monday last on Mr. Mark Toney's place, two miles south of Johnston. Her weight was about four hundred pounds, and being only of medium height Bhe was probably the largest person in the State. Tbe coffin in which Bhe was buried was 36 by 40 inches, and it was then found necessary to turn the body partly on the side before it would go in, it being broader than the coffin. She had not been able to lie down for several years, and died as she lived, sitting in a chair, and was conscious to the last. She was choked to death with fat.? Edgefield Monitor, Let the People Decide. Thes oft-repeated and thread-bare assertion, that ''Prohibition don't pro? hibit," has been repeatedly contradicted by ^practical and unquestionable proof. One of tbe best evidences, of the insin? cerity of those who make this assertion is seen in the opposition they manifest whenever a proposition is made to sub? mit the question to the people. If pro? hibitory laws do not prohibit, because such laws are not eniorced, as the oppo? sition claim, vt hy is it that these friends of the liquor interest raise large sums of money?amounting io soma instances to half a million of dollars?to be expended in a single contest? See tbe enormous sums contributed and being used in an effort to defeat prohibition at the election soon to take place in Texas. To bring tbe matter home, here in our midst, note the effort being made to obstruct the measure known as the "Murray Bill," and prevent it from being submitted to tbe voters of Laurens County. Legal talent has been retained to effect this purpose. Give tbe people an opportunity to ex? press their wish at the polls. Many of them have memorialized tbe General Assembly for that privilege. Let the question be settled, and settled finally. If they don't want prohibition, let them so vote; if they do want it let them so decide. But it seems this is just what the opposition don't want?they don't want the people to have the opportunity of voting on the question. The liquor interest would stifle the voice that speaks in thunder-tones through the ballot-box. They are afraid of it.?Laurenaeville Herald, July 22. As Bad as an Earthquake* Steeatoii, III., July 21.?At 2.30 o'clock this morning tbe entire city was aroused by a most terrific explosion, which was immediately followed by tbe ringing of tbe fire bell. The powder bouse of the Chicago, Wilmington and Yermillion Coal Company had been struck by lightning and between eight and ten thousand pounds of powder bad exploded. Every dwelling on the south and west side of the powder house was completely shattered, and in most cases entirely demolished. Not a vestige of the powder house remains, while where . it stood is an excavation about GO feet long, 40 feet wide and 20 feet deep. Only one person was fatally injured, and that was a tramp sleeping in a'car near the powder house. Six others were seri? ously hurt, while the minor casualties will reach nearly a hundred. There were forty-five dwellings almost totally demolished, and there is not a plate glass window left in the business part of the city. It is impossible at this time to estimate the loss, but it will probably reach $75,000 or $100,000. Bursting of a Twenty-Ton Wheel. Chattanooga, . July 21.?At the Roane Iron Company's steel mill this morning the fly wheel of the mammoth engine working the blooming rolls burst and tore up tbe roof of the mill, fortu? nately not injuring the machinery much. Engineer Hord and another workman were sleeping under a shed when the ex? plosion occurred, and were buried under the debris of the roof. Hord was killed instantly and the other man was seriously hurt. The wheel was twenty feet in di? ameter and weighed twenty tons, and, singular enough, but little damnge was done to the mill except the loss of the wheel and the breakage of the roof. The loss will be about $5,000, and a delay of three to four weeks in tbe wprk will be occasioned. The mill was begin? ning to work double time and 600 hands will be thrown out of employment tem? porarily. ? An Indianapolis, Ind., special Bays: "A novel sight waa witnessed here Tues? day as the result of the high temperature of the past three weeks. Some time ago a firm received a consignment of eggs packed in boxes after the usual manner. The eggs were placed in atorage*and Tuesday morning the consignee had oc? casion to open tbe case. When the lid was removed the low call of chicks sound? ed in his ears. One entire layer of eggs was found to be batching out, and in a few minutes after the eggs were brought to the light fifteen well developed or? phans picked their way through the ahelld. Another layer began to hatch out about noon, and it now looks as though the entire consignment will hatch." ? One of the queerest facts in natural history has been discovered by Be v. J. J. Lafferty, of Bichmond, who gives it to the world in his religious journal as fol? lows: "When a sparrow hawk pounces on a guinea, he lets the guinea fly, but the hawk, sitting on the back of the fowl, uses his own tail to guide the guinea. He always steers his victim to his nest in the forest." A Boon for Book-keoporB. There is absolutely n- ground upon which to doubt the splendid virtnes of Calisaya Tonic.

PEOPLES, Agent for the Celebrated Hl WINKLE II?, FEEDER AND CONDENSER, Manufactured at Atlanta, Georgia, and to which Pre? miums were awarded at the Atlanta Cotton Exposition, Charleston Industrial Exposi? tion Feb. 2, 1882, and at the South Carolina and Georgia State Fairs, 1881. THE VAN WINKLE FEEDER AND CONDENSER can be attached to any other Gin, so parties having otfier make of Gins and wishing Feeders or Condensers can be supplied by sending in their order in time, and I will guarantee satisfaction. All kinds of PULLEYS and SHAFTING and most IMPROVED CANE MILLS and EVAPORATORS furniihed to order. Van Winkle King Cotton Press. Has long been before the public, and is too well known to need any further description. Its chief points of merit are : It takes very little room, is easily handled, and takes so little pow? er ; can be used on all kinds of powers?horse, water or steam. Ginning and packing can all go on at the same time, without interfering with the Gin. A two inch belt will pack a 500 pound bale of cotton. It saves its cost the first season in labor. Read the following testimonial : Anderson, S. C.?Mr. John E. Peoples?Sir: The Steam Power Van Winkle Cotton Press bought from you last Fall has given entire satis? faction. I packed bales of cotton weighing 6G0 to 725 lbs. in five minutes with all ease, using a 4-inch belt and 25 lbs. steam. There did not seem any more strain on the Press than with a 400 lb. bale. For durability, strength, lightness of power, small quantity of steam required, economy of Bpace, I deem it the King of all Cotton Presses?especially so as the low price at which it can be bought for puts it within reach of every man running a steam Gin. In fact I would not be without it for twice its cost. I would advise all my friends to buy one of Van Winkle's Steam Power Cotton Pressess, as you will Bave its cost in labor in one year. M. A. COBB. THE BOSS PS/ESS! I am agent also for the "Boss Hand and Power Presses," which are strong, easily handled and easily erected. THE STAR AND KING PRESS. I am agent also for the Star Hand Pross, which give3 general satisfaction. Suitable for traveling Gins. THE HALL SELF-FEEDING COTTON GIN, Manufactured at Sing Sing, N. Y., has given satisfaction wherever used. The saws are made of the best imported steel. The saw shaft is the largest made. An ex? amination of other Gins will-convince you it is the most substantially built Gin in use. It never breaks the roll, and therefore does away with the expense of the revolving bead, as the secret of making the Gin to prevent its breaking the roll is in the proper shape of the roll box. Every one should examine the improvements in the Hall Gin made this year, especially the Improvement in the Feeder. SECOND HAND MACHINERY. I have a lot of second hand GINS and PRESSES, which are almost as good as new, that I will sell for about one half the price of a new one. 8ffi? Come in and see me and get prices before buying.

We have sold it for three seasons, and though a few have been unsuccessful with it, a large majority pro? nounce it a perfect success.
