" ? Mr. H. N. Emlyn, editor' of the Dotty Record, died at bis home in Columbia on Monday night, 16th inst. In his death the newspaper fraternity loses a courteous and intelligent member, and the State an excellent citizen. One of our exchanges says, to prevent crows from pecking watermelons, place three or four small rocks about the size of iv man's thumb upon each melon, and they will not be touched. Sticks will do as well, but'bey blow off. The landowners along Rocky River and the Beaverdam creeks are requested to meet at Mr. S.

The Tort Royal <fc Western Carolina ' Railway will sell round trip tickets at one first-class fare from all regular stations to the Farmers''Encampment at Spartan burg. Tickets will be on sale from July Slat to August 5th, inclusive, and are good to return until August 10th. Last Sunday morning during service {n the colored Baptist Church lightning struck one of the window blinds of tho Church and tore it to pieces. No other damage was done. For a few seconds there was considerable commotion among the congregation, but it soon subsided. The E. <fe D. B. R. Company will, from July 31st to August 2nd, sell round trip tickets to the Farmers' Encampment* at Spartanburg, good to return until Au? gust K)th, at one first-class fare, which will make the cost of a ticket from An .- derson via Seneca $3.35, or via Greenville We understand that Col. E. M. Ruckor made an anti-prohibition speech at Pisrce town on last Saturday. Col. Backer is a loan which Blbert Connty, Ga., is kind enough to make Anderson, and inasmuch as he has not, with all of his eloquence, been able to carry Elbert County wet, we suppose he hopes to see whether his per? suasive powers may not be more success? ful on this side of the river. .

The Due West correspondent of the Ab? beville Press and Banner says:. ' We re contly saw two bundsomegentlemen from Belton pass through town on their way to see some of Abbeville's pretty girls. An? derson knows where to find pretty girls and good wives." .Our, friend .is right. The Abbeville girls are'hard to excel any j way you. take them. But our friend might have added that the Abbeville girls know where to find good husbands. List of letters remaining in the Post office for* the* week ending July 28th.

On Tuesday afternoon a negro infant was found dead at its home on East Boundary street. The child had been sick, but on Tuesday it appeared well, and its mother left it asleep in the house and went out to "work. In about an hour some one went into the house to see' how .the child was doing, and found it dead. Coroner Nance .held an inquest this morning, and a ver diefwas rendered in accordance with the' above facta. ?XV* vJSi:- ' ' ?.' Every .man, wo'man and child who de uires to get bargains in dry goods should read Bleckley,..Brown & Fretwell's ad? vertisement in this paper. These gen tie men have decided to get rid of every article of Summer goods in their estab? lishment, in order to make room for their Fall stock, and now is your chance, .reader, to get bargains. They have not made this announcement simply for the purpose of getting the people to visit their .store, but they mean every word they say in this advertisement, and will carry it out. Visit their store at once, and get the benefit of the great reduction in prices. One of the most pleasant incidents that occurred during the Teachers' Institute at WiUiamston was the presentation of a beautiful silver cup to our excellent School Commissioner, Col. Clinksoales, from the teachers of Anderson County. The presentation was made last Thursday. by-Mr.. CO. Burriss, in -behalf of the teachers, in a? very. appropriate little speech, to which Col. Clinkscales respond? ed in a very hr^fpy manner. This is a high compliment to Col. Clinkscales, and the teachers could not have selected a; more suitable way in which to express their esteem and good will for him. The Colonel highly appreciates the gift. . ifsh-/; - " ? ???? "... Mr. D.H. Green, of Pendleton Town-, ship, has left at our office a nice treat and at the same time a curiosity.. It-is a pair of twin melons of the cantaloupe variety. Mr..Green is one. .of the. mostjsuccesswL melon growers of the County. This Spring he planted , in his water-melon patch two cantaloupe seed. Just as the vine was ready to run he cut it off with his knife. It soon grew out again and produced two very large melons, the skin of which resembles the cantaloupe, but in size and flavor they resemble the largest musk-melon. Mr. Green says he can't account for this strange growth, unless it -was caused by cutting the vine. A few days ago we received a package of excellent smoking tobacco, accompa? nied by a note, from our lair and bright little friend, Lydia VanWyck, daughter of Mr. 0. B. VanWyck; formerly of An? derson but now of Salisbury, N. C. The tobacco bears the name of ' 'Maggie"' Bell," and is named for a little girl with whom our little friend, plays every day. The factory which manufactures it has just been started at Salisbury. . Lydia says she likes Salisbury very much, but that she will never forget her old home, and hopes her friends here will not forget her. We thank our little friend for her kind remembrance of us, ? and extend her and her little friend, Maggie Bell, oar best wishes for.a long and happy life. The Messrs. Dean, who have just com? pleted a large steam flour and grist mill at Deans, ou the S. V. R. K., are now ready for the public patronage. They are using the latest improved mill machin? ery, and are turning out some very fine flour. These gentlemen b*ve sent us a sample sack, ground from home-raised wheat, which is certainly very fine. Some of our people are prejudiced against steam mills, and contend that such mills can't make good flour or meal, but that is a mistaken idea, for nearly all the flour we get from Iba West is ground by steam mills. Messrs. Dean have displayed con? siderable enterprise in erecting tbeir mill, and we hope they will be rewarded by a liberal patronage from the public. Greenwood had a big day on Wednes? day, 20th inst., large crowds being:pres? ent from various sections of the State, and many more would have been present, but the excursion trains did not have the capacity to carry them. Anderson was represented by the Young America iCor net Band, which furnished music for tho day, and by a number of our citizens. Several of Anderson County's young men participated in the Tournament, all of whom did some fine riding, and one of them, Mr. L. R. Tucker, winning the second prize. Mr. Gaines, of Edgefield, won the first prize, and crowned Miss Lou Breazeale, who is well known in this city, as Queen of Love and Beauty. In the base ball contest, Greenville beat Co? lumbia by a score of 7 to G. The day passed of very pleasantly. Peter Major, a worthy and hard-work? ing young colored man of this oity, died rather suddenly last Saturday afternoon. He had been troubled for a day or two with dysentery, but was getting along very well until Saturday afternoon, when bo was attacked with a severe pain or cramp in his bowels, which soon caused bis death. Peter was a member of the Rough and Ready Fire Company, and as a mark of respect the Company attended his funeral in uniform Sunday afternoon and escorted bis remains to the grave. Since the above was put in type, we learn that there is some suspicion as to the cause of Peter's death, and this afternoon Coroner Nance will disinter the remains for the purpose of holding a post vwrtem. It seems that Peter and his brother-in law, John Harris, had a fight on the night preceding the former's death, and that the latter struck him iu the stomach with a rock. Harris has been lodged in jail to await the investigation. Attention, Co. G! The survivors of this Company of 22nd Regiment, S. C. Volunteers, will, accord? ing to adjournment, have a Bftunion on Thursday and Friday, 4th and 5th of Au Sust next. The first day is for the special enefit of the historical committee, from whom a report will be expected, as it was omitted last year. The survivors are re? quested to bring full baskets for the pur? pose of having a sooial company dinner; also to bring any and all war relics, mem? orandums and trophies relative to the travels of the Company during the late war preparatory to getting up a more complete history of the same. J. B. S2fiTH, Sec. and Treas. Death of Mrs. Towers. : The death of Mrs. Ellen Towers, the beloved wife of onr respected townsman, Mr. A. B. Towers, has removed from our midst a most excellent, highly esteemed and Christian lady, whose memory will long be cherished for the beauties of the character which it will call to the minds of all who knew Mrs. Towers. Her death occurred on last Thursdag evening, at 6.30 o'clock. ' Mrs. Towers had been in feeble health for several months, but not until a few weeks ago was she prostrated to her bed, and her condition was not considered serious until a few days prior to her death. She bore ber sufferings with that patience and resignation characteristic of a true Christian, and when she realized that she must' pass from the troubles of time into the blissful realities of a Heavenly rest, she called the members of her household around her bedside, and, after giving tbem some cheering words of comfort and counsel, she quietly passed away. Mrs. Towers was about sixty years of age, and, though not a native of Ander? son, she bad resided here the greater por? tion of her life, having removed hore from Columbia when a young lady. In early life she connected herself with the Pres? byterian Church, and was always a most consistent and active member, ever ready and willing to do her duty in any work of the Church. She was possessed of an ex? ceedingly kind, affectionate and gentle ? disposition, and as a teacher in the Sunday School she has done a noble work. Her gentleness and kindness made every Bun day School boy or girl love her as a mother. Often has the writer of this looked back upon the days of his youth and thought of the kind words of counsel and advice which she endeavored to im? press upon his heart and mind when a member of her Sunday School class. Those who knew her best loved her most Her life was full of kind deeds and acts of charity, and ber left hand never knew . what her right hand did. She was a true, noble woman in every sense of the word, and her death has not only brought sad dcm to her own immediate family, but to a large circle of friends, who.deeply sym? pathize with the afflicted ones in their be? reavement. It is impossible to tell of the many vir? tues of this noble, woman, but God knows them, and now tbat she has "cross? ed over the river," she will be justly re? warded by Him, and the crown that be? decks her brow will sparkle with many bright gems. The remains were laid to rest'in the Presbyterian cemetery on Friday after? noon, the funeral servioes being conducted by Rev. D. E. Frierson,. D. P., in the presence of a large congregation, jj Bennlon of Orr1? Xteglmeut. The Reunion of Orr's Regiment at San? dy Springs Camp Ground on Wednesday, '20th inst., was a most pleasant occasion, though the crowd in attendance was not as large as was expected. :.. The Association was called to order at 10 o'clock by Judge J. J. Norton, and the exercises of the day weie opened with prayer by Rev. A. P. Nicholson. Hon. J; S. Cothran, of Abbeville, the orator of the day, was Introduced, and in bis free, easy style delivered an exceedingly inter? esting address. He wasfollowed by Rev. A.'P.'Nicholson, who made an appro? priate speech; and concluded bis remarks by urging* the old soldiers to fight as bravely for Christ's cause as they had done for the Confederacy. The other speakers who bad been invited were ab sent. At the conclusion of Mr. Nicholson's speech, the .Association' took a recess for one hour, during which the members en? joyed .a fine dinner. The afternoon session was devoted to the transaction of business. The committee on flags reported tbat it was impossible to make a correct report, and, on motion, the committee was dis? charged. A committee of three was appointed to submit to the next annual Reunion a form of constitution and by-laws as a basis for permanent organization. A motion was adopted setting apart Wednesday after the second Sunday in August of each year as the day for the Reunion. .The Association expressed itself as will? ing to entertain free of charge all mem? bers living at a distance who will in future attend the Reunions. The old officers of the Association were unanimously re-elected. The following resolution was unani? mously adopted: Resolved, That this ""Association is grati? fied by the presence at this Reunion of Mrs. Orr and Mrs. Led better, relicts of two of the gallant and beloved Colonels of the Regiment, and we hereby express the wish tbat tbey may be long spared to meet with us on the occasion of our Re? union. After adopting resolutions of thanks to the Trustees for the. use of the Camp Ground and to the citizens of the neigh? borhood for their hospitality and kind? ness the Association adjourned. The above is a synopsis of tbo most im? portant business transacted by the Asso? ciation, for which we are indebted to the Secretary, Mr, John W. Thompson. Denver Items. In company with Mr. Daniel.Kay we visited the vineyard of Mr. J. A. Daniels, situated about two miles from this place, on the road leading from Anderson to Pendleton. The vineyard is under the care of Mr. D. H. Green, whom we found at home ready to- escort us over the vine? yard. The vineyard comprises about fif-' teen hundred vines, eleven hundred Con? cord, and four hundred Harlfords. The crop has been estimated at from fifteen to twenty thousand pounds of fruit, which Mr. Daniels expects to turn into wine. Mr. Green informed us tbat he intends to set out about twenty-five hundred more vines this coming fall. After looking at the vineyard, we returned to the house, and were refreshed with watermelons and cantaloupes, of which Mr. Green Iisb a fine quantity. We had the pleasure recently of attend? ing a sociable given Mr. R. H. Russell and wife, which wa3 a very pleasant occasion to all present. Music was furnished from organ, violin, guitar and harp, to the delight of all who were lucky enough to attend. Mr. W. D. Garrison is a very successful clover raiser, judging from the amount he has harvested this season. He has be? tween three and four acres seeded to clover, and has made two cuttings, and expects to get another one later. He esti? mates the first cutting at ten tons and the second one at eight tons, making eighteen tons in all. We are told clover sells at twenty-five dollars per ton, which would be four hundred and fifty dollars as gross income from less than four acres of land. The expenses were less than five dollars per acre. Mr. Garrison expects his land improved twenty-five per cent, from being in clover. We had the pleasure Thursday, 21st inst., of attending the reunion of Orr's Regiment, which occurred at Sandy Springs, and was the twenty-sixth anni? versary of their being mustered into the service of the Confederate States. Twenty six years! How time flies! The writer ?was only a small boy then, but well re members how, with a hoy's admiration for things military, he used to watch them, as company after company, they marched with stately tread to the parade ground, which is now an old field overgrown with {tines. This regiment numbered about burteen hundred men, and is now repre? sented by about two hundred survivors. A significant fact, showing the character Of the men composing the regiment, is that not one of them has been hung, sent to the penitentiary, or convicted of any offense. This section of country is rejoicing in good rains, and crops, with the exception of some upland corn, are looking lovely, giv Ing fair promise of flue returns in the fall. Jay. I Six-apd-Twenty Iren?. We have been having a glorious revival I in our midst during the past week. Dr. Mendenball, the pastor of the church, has been ably assisted by Rev. T. H. Garrett, a young mau of much promise. Both of these good men have been untiring in their work of saving souls. So far tho re? sult has been twenty-eight additions to the church?somo restored, some by let ter, but the greater number by experience. It was a most beautiful and impressive 1 scene at the baptistery on Thursday after noon to witness sixteen young converts j put on Christ in baptism. May God be praised for His goodness to us. Our school is in quite a flourishing con? dition?have twenty-seven pupils in at? tendance, and expoct more every day to be added to the roll. The people seem to be thoroughly aroused to the importance of educating their children. The crops in this vicinity are fine. At the residence of Mr. Mullikin on last Sunday afternoon Mr. Warren Brooks was wedded to Miss Ada Hix. Dr. Men? denhall was the officiating minister. May happiness attend the pair through life. The young ladies and gentlemen of this section seem to be enjoying their holidays hugely. A spirit of life and mirth seems to pervade the entire community. Messrs. Smith & Carson will soon com? mence work at their saw mill again. These men Beein full of energy and enter? prise. In fact this whole section of coun? try is iu a progressive state. S. Helton Itemh. Mrs. Joel T. Rice, after a very pleasant trip in Virginia, returned last Friday. Mrs. Alice Sloan, one of Anderson's most excellent ladies, is visiting Mr. Q. W. McGee's family. Misses Ida Bigby and Hannah Moor head, of this place, in company with Mrs.. C. J. Lewis, of Honea Path, left on Friday last for Sandy Springs and Walhalla, where they go to visit relatives. Oar crops are very fine, and all classes interested feel very much encouraged. With continued propitious showers we expect a bountiful yield. We note with eager anxiety the prohibi? tion movement, and fail to perceive the reason why even an anti-prohibitionist should object to an election, which would simply be a decision by the majority of electors. Is the result feared ? In addition to quite a number of local agents, the Taylor & Gox Co. expect to. start very soon several wagons to canvass different portions of the country. The sales of this Company last year was very gratifying, and it is hoped still greater re? wards may crown their efforts this season. The fire extinguisher and gin whet are meritorious inventions, and are indispen? sable requisites for complete gin outfits. Friday,'August 6th, has been appointed for. the purpose of cleaning out the ceme? tery here. All persons having friends in? terred here, or who feel any interest in the cemetery, are requested to come early in the morning, as it is earnestly desired to put the cemetery in a respectable condi? tion. Let it be said that hone fail to re? spect and cherish the memory of their dead. G. Holland's Store Items. : Miss Lucinda Sadler, a maiden lady, died at her home in this community on Monday, the 18th ult., after a short illness from fever. 8he was about fifty years old and was respected for her energy and frugality. She was a member of Ruha mah Church, and her memory will be cherished by the entire membership as well as the community at large. Her re? mains were laid to rest in the graveyard of the above Church on the following day, Rev. A. M. Attaway conducting the funeral services. A few days ago, while Messrs, Matthew Parkerand T. J. Holland were returning from Hartwell, Ga,, in a one-horse wagon, on a bilinear Holland's ferry, the cuff that holds the shaft to the axle gave way and the horse ran away. Mr. Holland escaped without injury, but Mr. Parker received a painful wound on bis leg by a kick from the horse. We are glad to say he is doing very.well, and wjth proper care will soon be all right again. Rev. H. M. Allen preached an excel? lent sermon at Rub amah on Snnday night, the 17th ult., on temperance. We would like to give a synopsis of his sermon, but do not think it necessary, as he has made himself felt in various parts of the Coun? ty on this subject. His discourse was well gotten up, and was listened to by an appreciative audience. Mr. W. A. Holland's store was broken into on last Thursday night, and a quan? tity of goods stolen, consisting of bacon' and canned goods principally. Only a small amount of money was taken. The thief gained entrance by prizing open a window. A few days ago At a Colored Sunday School Celebration, a rather suspicious looking white man mado his appearance under the guise of a lemonade vender, But some of our young men thinking that something a shade stronger than lemonade was has real business, paid him a visit and informed the gentleman that his room was more acceptable than bis company, and it is said the way ho made tracks would have male Maud S ashamed. It is undoubtedly a foregone conclusion that no setof men belonging to the tramp tribe- shall canvass this section, dissemina? ting news among the unsuspecting. If whiskey is snob a blc-sing to tho country as they claim, why so muoh sneaking? Why not make a straight out honest fight and let the matter stand on its own merit ? Truly a drowning man will catch at straws. The question should be, has the liquor traffic done more good than harm? If the former is proven, then by all means let us have it, and if the latter is proven then by all means our antl friends should at least give us a fair show? ing in the matter and givo us a chance tq crush it. The prohibition list recently sent up from this place with some of the most vigorous advocates of the whiskey cause names there on has caused a small cyclone in this section. It seems that there is a Benedict Arnold in the camp. There has been various threats made in regard thereto, and we would be glad that the matter was traced, and find out the guilty ones. Any person that will be a temper? ance man in a temperance crowd and an antl in a whiskey crowd, deserves the condemnation of every person in the land, and we firmly believe that this pa? per was sent up by just such a person, that the temperance cause might be over? thrown in its hour of success. Judas's descendants are some of them alive yet, we are sorry to say, and some of them would tako a good deal less than thirty pieces of silver fop the future welfare of this country. Crops are doing tolerably well, only wo are needing rain. We have hau several good showers recently, but not a good season, but we are still hopeful, as the rains get nearer every day and we sup? pose our turn will come after awhile. Some think the crops are seriously in? jured, while others contend that with good rains soon that we will not be hurt. Rev. B. M. Pack preached one of his best sermons on last Sunday at Shiloh. He showed the inconsistency of a pro? fessed Christian voting; for whiskey, and admonished all to look well before cast? ing their ballots. Mr. B. F. Karle, of whom wo spoke of some time ago as having a premium acre of potton, has as good a crop as we have seen. He has ton aorps of bottom corn planted since s'iuoo' harvest that will average five feet high. He prepared his land well, worked it fast, which accounts, to a considerable degree for its rapid growth. His brag acre, which lies be? tween two branches, is doing fino. It is now locked in the middle and the rows are over four feet wide. He also has an acre of the Peterkln cotton that is truly splendid. He calculates that with good seasons from now qn, to make fWQ good bales of cotton on it. Bon Is a splendid farmer. He Iceopa a record cf the cost of the crops that he raises, an example of which others of our farmers would do well to follow. Burke. Lebanon Items. The crops have suffered considerably within the past few weeks for a lack of rain. The rays of a tropical sun has left a visible mark on the heretofore tender herbage. No serious injury, however, has been done the crops up to the present. ? On last Saturday and Sunday we had a splondid rain, and now the herbage that was' withered by the -Jcorcbing rays of the sun, has begun to look refreshened, and hopes are entertained that we may make almost a full crop of corn and cot? ton yet. . Several persons of this community at? tended the Institute at Williamston. Some of them attended the whole time, while others attended only a few days. All. however, express themselves as well pleased with the proceedings. We feel assured that this community will reap the benefits of that Institute. Messrs. J. M. Craig and B. J. Smith and Miss Minnie Burriss, three of the most pleasant and agreeable young people of this community, went to Greenwood last week. Tbey witnessed the Tourna? ment riding, match game of base-ball, and other games of amusement, and intimate that the occasion was highly enjoyable to all who were presont, and express them? selves as well pleased and well paid for tbo time consumed and money expended during the occasion. Messrs. H. L. Ray, A. J. Ray and wife, of Jackson County, Ga., and J. N. Smith, J. D. Hendricks and wife of Liberty, Blount County, Ala., are visiting relatives and friends in this community. Those from Georgia are with the family of Mr. W. A. Wallace, and those from Alabama are with the family of Mr. N. T. Smith. We hope their visit will be a pleasant and an extended one: There will be a social basket picnic at the Dickinson house near Mr. Wm. Burriss's on next Saturday, the 2Uth inst. A most pleasant time is anticipated, and all are cordially invited to come and bring with them well-filled baskets. There have been several picnics at this place heretofore, and all loft pleasant memories of the occasion. DeNos. A Walking Skeleton. Mr. E. Springer, of Mecbariicsburg, Pa., writes: "I was afflicted with lung fever and abscess on lungs, and reduced to a walking Skeleloii. Got a free trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump? tion, which did me so much good that I bought a dollar bottle. After using three bottles, found myself once more a man, completely restored to health, with a hearty appetite, and a gain in flesh of 48 lbs." Call at Hill Bros. Drug Store and . get a free* trial bottle of this certain enre for all Lung Diseases. Large bottles $1.00. Thousands Say'So. Mr. T. W. Atkins, Girard, Kan., writes: "I' never hesitate to recommend your Electric Bitters to my customers, they give eutire satisfaction and are rapid sel? lers."
