J" An Abbe vile citizen told us the other day that he wanted the Murray Road Law adopted iu his County. He said he could tell the difference in the roads the moment he crossed the County line. The Anderson merchants are anticipat? ing a big trade this fall, and a number of them are preparing to leave for the mar? kets early in the season. They propose selling goods cheaper than ever.

Sullivan & Bro.'s new advertisement should have the attention of our readers, and especially those who contemplate buying a cotton gin, press or other ma? chinery. These gentlemen sell the Gul lett and Cotton Bloom gins, both of which rank- among the best on the market. Call and get their prices, and let them tell you something about machinery. Mr. M. B. Arnstein, the clever proprie? tor of the New York Cash Store, has not sold his stock of goods, as was announced in our columns two weeks ago. He will continue business in Anderson, and will loave for New York shortly to buy a choice ntock of fall goods. His many friends and customers throughout the County will be pleased to learn that he will remain in Anderson. Dr. W. L. Jones says in the Southern Cultivator that: "rutabagas should be sown between the 20th of July and 10th of Au? gust, according to latitude, on none but well prepared, rich or highly fertilized soil. Don't throw away time and seed on poor, cloddy, badly prepared land. Bet? ter watt later, put in better conditions and plant' iii rough leaf varieties." Now watch your (mances and plant a plentiful crop of this valuable vegetable, The drouth which has prevailed in this city for the past five weeks was broken last Thursday afternoon, and since then it has rained at intervals night and day. The rain seems to have been a general one, and much damage has been done to the growing crops, especially those on 'bottom lands, in various sections of the country:. Ine Anderson County all the streams have been very high, but we have heard of no extensive damage to the crops. Mr. A. B. Williams, the talented editor of the Greenville News, announces his withdrawal from the editorship of that paper to take charge, as managing editor, of the Sun, a new afternoon paper, which will make its appearance in Charleston on or about tbe IGth inst. The News will, in future, 'be under the business management of Mr. J. F. Richardson, with Mr. T. E. Horton as editor. - Mr. Horton is a fear? less, fluent writer, and will continue to make the News, what it has always been, a reliable and newsy journal. -He is an An? derson County boy, and it gives us pleas? ure to welcome him to the ranks of jour? nalism. A three-year-old daughter of Mr. James Anderson, of Savannah Township, was accidentally drowned on last Saturday afternoon. A heavy rain bad fallen, and the little girl, with several other children^ had gotten permission to go down to the spring branch, near the house, to see the stream, which was considerably swollen. By some.means the little one got into the water, and in a twinkling was swept down the stream. The other ohildren immedi? ately notified Mr. Anderson, who ran down the stream for two hundred yards or more, endeavoring to get a glimpse of his little one, bnc she bad been carried by the rushing waters farther than that, [and it was an hour before her lifeless form was found. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson have the sympathies of many friends in this sad bereavement. Col. John G. Clinkscales and C. Ward law, Esq., spent last Saturday and Sunday in Brushy Creek Township. They went to fill an appointment for Col. Clinkscales to make a speech on Prohibition at Be thesda. Church Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Notwithstanding the rain, they bad a crowded house of the best citizen? ship of the vicinity. It is said that the Colonel made one of his best efforts, which was listened to with interest by the audience. Ac the conclusion of bis speech Mr. Wardlaw made one of his most enthusiastic speeches. They report crops as very tine and promising, bnt tbe recent rains have damaged the bottom corn and caused the cotton to throw off some of its fruit. The people of Brushy Creek are witnessing an era of prosperity not equalled in many years past. Whether the prohibitionists get a majority of the votes in this Township or not, one thing may he said as true, they have a majority of the intelligence and wealth of the Township on their side. We hope to gut a favorable report from Brushy Creek on the 17th of this month. The District Conference. The Greenville District Conference of tbe Methodist Episcopal Church, South, recently held at Easley, S. C, seems to have been a success in every particular. The delegates nearly all answered to tbe first roll call and remained to the close of the Conference. The Methodist Church of this City was not represented at all until J. G. Clink? scales went to Easley Friday afternoon from Williamston, after the close of tbe Teachers' Institute. The new Presiding Elder, Rev. J. Walter Dickson, judging from what we can hear, presided with a great deal of dignity and ability, giving entire satisfac? tion to all concerned. During the week, particular attention was given to religious services, and several able sermons were preached. Rev. W. D. Kirklaud, Editor of South? ern Christian Advocate, preached Sunday morning in the Methodist Church to a crowded house. This distinguished divine, it is said, bored for water and got j it. His remarks raised a considerable I shout in the camp. Mr. Kh xland wields a pen with a force that is equalled by very I few men in the State, and, from what we have heard of his sermon at Easley, he is no less powerful in the pulpit. Anderson was well represented in the preaching and talking exercises. Mr. Barnes and Mr. Scudday preached, and on Sunday afternoon Messrs. Scudday and Clinkscales delivered Sunday School j addresses. The delegates elected to tbe Annual j Conference to be held next December in Spartanburg are Rev. R. A. Child, of Pickens, J. G. Clinkscales, of Anderson, M. N. Sitton, of Oconee, and Dr. W. H. Austin, of Spartanburg. It so hap? pens that four of the five counties in the District are represented in that delegation. During the Conference the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, Recognizing the stupendous and terrible evils, disasters and woes which result in person, in property, in in? dividuals, in communities, in counties and States and nations, in soul and body, from the manufacture, sale and use of alcoholic drinks; therefore, Resolved, 1. That we recognize, and see, and feel, with gratitude to God, as the i answer of prayer in faitb, works follow? ing, the almost wonderful growth of pro? hibition sentiment in our State, as well as in the several American States and kindred countries of the world, and we hence send up to the Almighty throne the continual prayer to hasten the day when this fearful scourge shall be banished from our land. Resolved 2. That we hereby fully endorse and re-echo the utterances of the General Conference of tbe Methodist Episcopal Church South, declaring all license oy law to carry on this fearful business as wrong ancf contrary to the spirit and teachings of the Word of God, and pro? nouncing in favor of entire prohibition by statutory and constitutional enact? ment. Resolved 3. That we recommend that our preachers preach a distinct prohibition ser? mon from each one of their pulpits at least once a year, while we make it a part of the light which shall shine from our preaching and daily conversation. A Few Notes on onr Trip to Abbeville. As a delegate from Anderson Division, we attended the annual session of the Grand Division of the Sons of Temper? ance of South Carolina, which convened at Abbeville C. H. on last Wednesday night. The attendance was much larger than for several years past, and the pro? ceedings throughout were exceedingly in? teresting. The business of the session was in fine shape, and was dispatched with rapidity. The reports of the Grand Worthy Pa? triarch and Grand Scribe showed the order to be in a very healthy condition, and on rising ground. Since the last annual meeting the membership has increased nearly one hundred per cent., there being now thirty-four Divisions at work in the State, with a membership of nearly 1,C00. This increase is due largely to the efforts of Messrs. Edward Carswell and C. M. Douglass, who made a tour of the State last Spring in bebalf of the order. The following officers were elected to serve the ensuing year: Grand Worthy Patriarch?John Alex? ander, Columbia. Grand Worthy Associate?J. L. Young, Union. Grand Scribe?P. S. Dibble, Orange burur. Grand Treasurer?W. A. Templeton, Abbeville. Grand Chaplain?Rev. S. Lander, D. D., Williamston. Grand Conductor?M. B. Dunlap, Hon ea Path. Grand Sentinel?J. A. Merritt, Edge field. The above officers were publicly In? stalled on Thursday night, at which time speeches were made by Rev. S. Lander, Rev; B. W. Whilden and others. Col. C. E. R. Drayton, of Aiken, the re? tiring Grand Worthy Patriarch, has pre? sided over tbe Grand Division for two successive years, and has made a most ac? ceptable officer. He has left nothing un? done that would tend to build up tbe I order. Col. Drayton is succeeded by a most faithful and earnest worker in the j person of Hon. John Alexander, of Co? lumbia, under whose administration the order will continue to grow throughout the State. The next session of the Grand Division will be held at Williamston. The members of Abbeville Division threw open their homes to tbe delegates, and did everything possible to make their stay pleasant. We were so fortunate as to be assigned to the hospitable home of Ab? beville County's efficient and popular Sheriff, Mr. J. P. C. DnPre, who certainly knows how to make a stranger feel at home nnder his roof. Mr. DuPre has a most desirable and beautiful place. A few years ago he bought a twelve-acre lot, the greater portion of which was consid? ered almost worthless on account of its gullies and red hills, but by filling up the gullies and terracing the hillsides he now has one of the most valuable places in tbe town. He has every available foot of ground covered with fruits, vegetables and flowers, and has a large vineyard of the finest varieties of grapes. Mr. DuPre also takes considerable interest in raising fancy poultry, and it is an interesting sight to see them. His premises display energy and enterprise on every side. Every far? mer in Abbeville County might learn a valuable lesson by visiting this place and talking with Mr. DuPre, who is one of the best posted men we have ever met. Abbeville has not changed very much since our last visit there. The place holds its own very well. Wo had the pleasure of meeting a number of the business men, all of whom are looking forward to a good trade this fall, as the crops through? out the County are very promising. I During our stay we visited the offices of Editors Wilson, of the Press and Banner, and Hein phi 11, of the Medium, both of whom seemed to be prospering. Editor Wilson has not yet mustered sufficient courage to "pop the question" to some fair female, and is still sewing on his own buttons and patching his own breeches. Editor Hemphill has been more patriotic. He has two charming and accomplished daughters, who assist him in getting up his local column. Abbeville should be proud of her newspapers. Our young friends, Prank DuPre and Marion Mattison, were especially kind and attentive to us during our stay, and to them we are under many obligations for favors shown us. Despite the rainy weather, our trip throughout was highly enjoyed, and we left Abbeville feeling that she still main? tains her reputation for pretty and accom? plished young ladies and clever, sociable young men. On Saturday on our way home we spent two hours very pleasantly in the prosper? ous little town of Greenwood. Our trip from Abbeville to Greenwood was ex? ceedingly pleasant. But it could not have been otherwise, for we had a most inter? esting and charming travelling companion in the person of an accomplished young lady, who had been attending the Grand Division. We dined at Greenwood with "mine host" Riley, who runs one of the best hotels in the State. Greenwood has alive, enterprising set of business men, who are doing a very extensive business, drawing trade from all the surrounding counties. Neal's Creek Items. Work on the farm has been suspended and other matters is receiving attention just now. The patrons of the Neal's Creek and Broadaway schools have decided to run subscription schools this summer. The former school will be taught by Miss Annie Emerson, and the latter uy Miss Allie Major. These young ladies have bten spending the past two weeks at Williamston, attending the Normal In? stitute, learning the advanced methods of teaching. They have had considerable experience in teaching, and have made themselves worthy of the name of teach? ers. A little fifleen-inonlhs-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Cobb died on Satur? day, lGth July. The remains of the little one were laid to rest in the Neal's Creek cemetery on the day following, after ap? propriate funeral services, conducted by Rev. D. W. Hiott. Mrs. Nannie Saunders, of Belton, Tex? as, spent the past week with relatives in this vicinity. The Neal's Creek cemetery and Church grounds will receive their annual clear? ing off on the 17th of August. It is hoped that persons having relatives or friends buried there will come that day, for there 5s a large number of persons burled there who have no relatives in this country, and all should share the work t ually. Our Sunday school was visited on Sun? day, 24th ult., by two of Lebanon's most charming young ladies, Miss Lula Bowen and Miss Hattie Quails. We always ap? preciate such Yisits.;] Hoosibk. CraytonvHle Items. We have had an intermittent gale for the past three or four days, accompanied with considerable rain, which has done great damage to corn crops. Just north? east of us a short distance the storm was terrific; in one instance, completely de? molishing a house and scattering its con? tents for some distance, and many of the goods uot boing found at all. There were two Union Meetings to have convened at two Churches in this com? munity, which is very remarkable, but on account of the inclement weather on Saturday, there was nono at Mt. Bethel Church; but on Sunday the Sunday School Union met, and after its session Rev. J. S. Murray preached a sermon on prohibition, setting forth the evil and ruin caused by the use of liquor, and in a mild and logical manner appealing to the people to exercise their influence in fcvor of prohibition. We would say to the Eronibitionists, "hold the fort, and raise igh their royal banner and never yield to fear." H-We suppose that the Commissioners of Election could not get the names of any anties in this Township to manage the election, but went outside to get two of the managers. We have a number of competent men in this Township to man? age her own affairs, and if we must have some anties to help manage the approach? ing election, let us have them from our own township. There are fewer schools in session in this section of country than in many years past. Teachers being paid in pro? portion to the average attendance up to an average attendance of twenty five, and no more, when it exceeds that nnmber, has caused an increase of the number of schools, und a decrease in the attendance of each school, consequently has forced teachers to seek other vocations. Under the present school system there ia little inducement to the young to pre? pare themselves for teaching. The quali? fications requisite for teaching are on a higher basis than formerly, and we think the salaries should be raised accordingly. Vox. A Tribute. We meekly and reverently subrnit to the dispensation of an All-wise Provi? dence in removing from our midst by the hand of death one of our Vice-Presidents, Mrs. A. B. Towers. She was a beloved sister and co-worker in the Temperance cause. Her calm and beautiful Christian deportment in all the circles of life, and activity and zeal in every work and en? terprise which had for its object the ad? vancement of our Redeemer's kingdom and the amelioration of suffering human? ity, had greatly endeared her to us who knew her true worth. She was reserved in the expression of her views and sentiments, but firm in the advocacy of every good work. Her influ? ence an d energy in the promotion of the Temperance cause were united with that of her husband, of which for more than forty years he has been a consistent and zealous advocate. She did not hesitate to unite with her sisters in the struggle "For God and Home and Native Land." We shall no more have her counsel in our deliberations, yet her encouraging words and lovely example will ever remain in our hearts to encourage us to persevere in the noble work in which we have united onr efforts. We feel her loss and deeply sympathize with her grief-stricken family. This trib? ute very inadequately expresses the esti? mation in which we hold her memory, and our appreciation of her beautiful life. We know it is right for "God hath bereft us." She, though dead, will ever live in the memory of the "W. C. T. U." Expressed at a meeting of the W. C T. U. of Anderson, held July 26th, 1887. Mrs. J. S. Murray, Pres. Miss Ida Watson, Ree. Sec.
