The Laurens Advertiser, of last week, ?ays: "Negroes in Anderson County say that if Prohibition is successful, E. B. Murray will be President of the United States and that they will have to carry passes issued by B. F. Cray ton." Rev. A, A Marshall assumed the pasto? rate of the Anderson Baptist Church on last Saonday, und preached two very able sermons. Hfj is an eloquent and able pulpit orator, a polished and affable gen? tleman, a zealous and indefatigable pas? tor. We are delighted to have such men ?some to Anderson. ' Despite the heavy rains, the crop reports ?continue Cuvcrable. A great deal of corn has been destroyed, but without farther disaster a very good crop will be gathered. The cotton h shedding its fruit to some extent, but that is to be expected. It is the general opinion that the crop will be the largest ever made in tbe County. John M. Hubbard & Bro. have just placed into their store-room a very hand? some wall case for the exhibition of their stock of silverware. It is made of birch wood, with a mahogony finish, and is eighteen feet long and ten feet high, with a large mSrror in the center. For energy and enterprise, tbe Hubbard boys are .hard to beat, By reference to another column it wiU !be seen that Mr. ?. S. Ligon, surviving partner of W. S. Ligon & Co., has bought .out the business, and will continue it at -.the old stand. Ho will soon have in store :a new stock of general merchandise, and asks a continuance of the patronage be :stowed upon the old firm. Persons in? debted to the old firm will make paynflJht 4o Mr. r.

O wing to a new regulation of the New York Cotton Exchange on and after Sep? tember the 1st, 1887, cotton buyers in all interior towns will deduct from bales weighing under 400 pounds i cent per pound; under 850 pounds J cent per pound; and packages less than 300 pounds ?re not considered bales, and are therefore (ursmerchantable. The ginners and far jnen will do well to note this fact in put? ting op their cotton. They will also find it to their interest to increase the general average of their bales, as the heavy weight .of bales from the southwest, 1b, in addi? tion to the superior staple, an additional inducement for northern and European dspinnera to give their order* to that sec? tion. This is an important matter to the ginners and farmers, and should receive 4fc?6f attention. A certain young man sent a very pretty i bouquet .of flowers to a young lady tue' other day. When the boy, who had de-j f liveml them, returned, the young man: asked : "What did the young lady say wlieu you gave her the flowers?" The boy replied : "She asked the young fuller ?who was sitf in'or, the piazza with her if he didn't want 'em, and ho said yes, and she give 'em to him." ?

The advertisement of the Greenville Female College appears in the Intelli cencer, and we invite the attention of our readers to it.. No College in tho Statu has better facilities or an abler faculty, and those of our readers having daughters to educate could not send them to a better institution. ?The catalogue of the College Is before us, and among the faculty we find the name of Miss Bessie Bagby, who was formerly connected with the Ander? son Female Seminary.

Keys has been ap? pointed as his successor. Mr. Fant is the agent of the C. <fe G. R. R., and resigned in order that the Express office may be removed to the business part of the city. He has filled the position for sixteen years, and has made a most acceptable officer to the Company* as well as to the public. Mr. Keys is in every way quali? fied for the position, and will make a good officer. ^^Mr. Fant's resignation will take effect on 1st September. ?? T. ? * .- ?. Killed by Lightning. About half-past 4 o'clock last Sunday afternoon a very heavy rain, accompanied by. constant and loud peals of thunder and vivid flashes of lightning, passed over the city. The storm did not last more than forty-five minutes, and when the clouds passed away the news spread rap? idly through the city that the lightning had struck a house near the colored Bap? tist Church and killed a colored man named Ike Sloan. The report caused considerable excitement, and in a short time a large crowd of both whites and blacks had. congregated at the scene. - The house stands in the rear of the col? ored Baptist Church, near the track of tho Savannah Valley Railroad, and within a few- y;*rds of the house that was struck by lightning and burnt up a few weeks ago. LWTff1i" wooden Bnll??ng, and a"bbut 16x18 feet, with a door opening on the north side and one on the south side. On the west end stahda the^chimney. In the south? west corner of the room stood a bed, on which Elbert Guy ton, another colored man, Was lying. In the door on the south side, at the foot of the bed, stood Ike Sloan, the unfortunate man, who was watching the clouds. At his side were two email children. The bolt of lightning, it seems, de? scended the chimney, and came ont just above the mantel, tearing a hole in the chimney large enough to put one's head through. ~ On the mantel stood a clock, which was torn to pieces. The bolt then passed to the bed, and, tearing the side piece, next to the wall, loose from the head-board, set the bedding on fire. Guy ton, who was on the bed, experienced the shock in his left arm and right leg, and for a few minutes could not move. From the bed it must have passed on to the door in which Sloan was standing. Instantly L.0 fell to the floor dead, the children by his side escaping unhurt, though one of them said he felt the shock for a few sec? onds. As soon as the alarm could be given some of the neighbors ran into the house and extinguished the burning bed? ding. Coroner Nance was soon on hand, and at once organized a jury of inquest with Mr. L. E. Norryce as foreman. Dr. E. C. Frierson made a thorough examination of the body of the deceased, and found a blister about two or three inches in cir? cumference on his left side, which, he said, was caused by the electric fluid. No bones were broken, and this blister was the only mark on his body. Dr. Frierson stated that it was his opinion that death was caused by the stroke of lightning, and the jury rendered a verdiet accord? ingly. A dog, which was under the house when the lightning struck, was killed, the skin and hair being torn from its stomach. A large rat was also found dead, and is supposed to have been killed at the same time. It was rather a singular freak of elec? tricity, and it is remarkable that Guy ton, who was on the bed, and the children, who were standing near Sloan, were not killed. It is also a little singular that the lightning should strike twice in such a short time in nearly the same place and do so much damage. Twlggs Items. Crops in our section continue to look promising, and if no disaster befalls them, the husbandman will be rewarded with a bountiful yield, and his granaries will overflow with the products of the earth. The two principal crops, corn and cotton, were not seriously injured by the Tiecent ."reahets in this section, although corn was badly blown down in some places. The farmers have employed the time since lay? ing by their crops in attending public gatherings, working the roads and prepar? ing for gathering the abundant crops which will soon mature. Fodder pulling has already commenced, and will be in full blast in a short time. The first crops of bolls upon the cotton arc about matured, and have commenced to open. The roads in this section, with a few ex? ceptions, have all been recently worked, and present a fine appearance, and when they become more compact it will be a pleasure to ride or drive over them. Our people seem to be so enthused in the mat? ter of working the roads, that many other roads, besides the public roads, are being worked and put in good condition all over this section. Quite a number of our citizens who live in the lower portion of the County have been attending the United States Court, at Greenville, during the past and present week, some being charged with selling whiskey illegally, and others as witnesses. It is passing strange that some of our people will handle or deal in an article contrary to the laws of our country, which has done so much harm to society, and has ruined and disrupted so many happy homes, We hope they may learn from sad experience that it would be best to banish it from our fair land and have nothing to do with it. The members of Varennes Church have commenced to remodel and repair their church building, which had become some? what dilapidated. It will be changed to the modern style of church architecture, j Rev. A. M. Attaway will commence a protracted meeting at Hebron Church on next Sabbath, and continue a week or more. This church was greatly revived and built up last year under the ministry of Rev. J. F. Anderson. They have a flourishing Sunday School, and services are held three Sundays in each month. Miss A. E. Earle has discontinued her school at this place, on account of it not being supported as it should have been. No section of our County stands in greater need of a good elementary school, and a proper effort on the part of our people to support it, than the section surrounding this i?!rcc, Jl is altogether necessary on the part of the people ol* tliis icetiuii to heartily co-operate and earnestly desire a good .?i hnol to he Miccfssfiil in establishing nun. Air. and Mrs. Ahner Emerson, with their sisler, Mrs. Joe Reed, of Micanopy, Florida, arrived a few days since, and are visiting relatives and friends in this portion of the County. We hope their visit may be pleasant and agreeable. Our young batcbelor friend and neighbor, Mr. J. A. Emerson, says he has arrived at the conclusion that there is more trouble than happiness in this sublunary world. He says, first of all, the freshets came and injured his corn, then his onion crop has not panned out very well, and last but not least, the chimney to his residence fell dur? ing the recent wet spell, and be has been busily engaged the past week rebuilding. He says lie proposes to sit down and rumi? nate and study till his fodder is ready to pull, and see if he can find out the cause of his ill luck. We will volunteer a little help, Lou ; get you a sweet, loving wife, and she will share your troubles and trials with you, and make your life one of per? fect bliss and uhalSoyed happiness. Mrs. J. C. Hamlin, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Kirby, of Abbeville, has gone to the mountains, and will spend a week or two along the verdant slopes of the Blue Ridge. We wish them a safe journey and a pleasant time. Mr. J. K. Hall, who has been traveling for the Southern Clock Company, in Southwest Georgia, has returned home. "Omega.'' Holland's Store Items. The Temperance meeting at Cross Roads last Saturday was very well attended. Maj. E. J. Earle presided and introduced Col. J. N. Brown as the first speaker. He read the Bill, explaining and commenting as be read. What he said was strictly to the point, and we trust tended to destroy much of the prejudice existing in tho minds of many persons. The next speaker introduced was Rev. A. A. Marshall, of Anderson. His speech was clear, eloquent and grand; we will not attempt to describe it, but will say that those who missed hearing it, missed a troat. He was followed in the afternoon by Revs. J. S. Murray and Calvin Press ley and Hon. B. F. Crayton, each making fine addresses, showing up tho evils of bar-rooms in plain and unmistakable language. A very interesting feature of the day was the vocal music by a band of beauti? ful little girls and boys from Anderson. They were led by Messrs. Baker and Brown of the same town. The organ was removed to the stand and was presided over by Mrs. Badger. The entire pro? gramme was well gotten up, and reflects much credit on Mr. J. J. Fretwoll, who brought the children down from Ander? son. They all acquitted themselves in a most creditable atyle. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Dean have the sympathy of this section in the Death of their little boy, Roscoe, which occurred on last Wednesday night. The remains of the little one was laid to rest in the Cross Roads grave yard the following day. A protracted meeting of several days' duration closed at Roberts on last Sun? day. The pastor was assisted by Revs. Riley, Frierson and others, all of whom no doubt sowed seed that will blossom in eternity. The meeting, despite the unfa? vorable weather part of the week, was in? teresting all through and well attended. We were showu over the farm of Mr. W. M. Burriss a few days ago. His farm lies on Savannah River, and is in a high state of cultivation. He has some as good corn as we ever 'saw, but unfortunately what bottom land he has on the river is seriously injured. He did not depeffd,' however, on it alone, and planted a largo area in upland corn, which is simply splendid. His cotton crop is excellent, showing energy, combined with good judgment, in its management. And last but not least, his melon c/op is the best we have seen this season. He has a vari? ety, of* watermelons called Cobe's Gem that beats anything we have seen iu that line- He had twenty melons that weigh? ed over seven hundred pounds. The Savannah during the recent freshet broke the wire rope over Holland's Ferry. It was the highest it has been for years, It is reported that Mr. P. B. Allen bad the misfortune to lose several cattle by the freshet. He had the Island opposite Hardscrabble Mills, on the Savannah rented for a pasture, and had on it about twenty-five head, the greater part of which was swept away. Only a few made good their escape by swimming out. Bukkk. Silver Brook cemetery. Mr. Editor : To the Southeast of the city, and just beyond its limits, the City Council of Anderson has purchased twenty-five acres for a Cemetery. The grounds are well located and highly adapted fur either a Park or a Cem? etery. The gentle, undulating hills arc covered with stately oaks or full grown pines, interspersed here and there with a young growth of water oaks, and the narrow strip of low land, with the hills on either side, is covered with grass, ferns and Howers, where the clear waters of Silver Brook winds like a silver ribbou through its entire length. Poplar Spring gushes out from under a large rock, in the centre of the plat, overarched by the projecting boughs of four gigantic trees, and close by four other springs are to be found, whose clear, limpid waters nearly surround a small plat of ground, which could be very easily turned into a small island, and more than one miniature lake could be made in the graceful curves of the meandering little brook. This rustic, sequestered little spot, from time imme. morial, has been a favorite resort. In these days, when landscape garden? ing is refined upon to the most luxurious extent, the most charming effects could be produced in this littlo nook, and if the city fathers should at any future time purchase the Silver Brook falls that lie adjacent, the grounds would then be am? ply sufficient for a Park, and their fine picturesque qualities would greatly add to its attractiveness as a place for resort, and the aromatic scent of the pinos, and the continuous singing of the birds would woo the soul from the unpleasant associa? tions which very naturally cluster around "a city of the dead." On oitber side of the plat, as seen on the surveyor's map, there is a carriage-drive, and, every here and there, there are drives intersecting each other, so as to make one continuous passage over and around the grounds. Three of the principal drives enter Park Avenue, a wide and handsome street, on the south, connecting Shockley Ferry road with McDuffie street. Rov. J. M. Lander, of Williamston, who has studied park construction, has sur? veyed the grounds. It is the apotheosis of geometry and mathematics as applied to landscape gardening. We feel confident that, sooner or later these blessed twenty-Jive acres will be cultivated to the very highest degree of beauty they are susceptible of, as by this means the attractions of our littlo city would be greatly enhanced.

We, the members of the Ladies' Mission? ary Society of the Anderson Presbyterian Church, wish to put on record a memorial testimony of tho late Mrs. Ellen Towers, a beloved and valued member of that society. She was a lady who united in herself all the excellences of tho female character, in all the varied and important positions which she occupied, either as a wife, a mother, a Christian or as a help and adviser in our benevolent work. Every proposition to do good found ready and hearty response in her heart. On ac? count of her great amiability and sweet? ness of temper, her opinions wet e of groat weight with her friends. Like the true woman she was modest and retiring. Our friend was a true Presbyterian in her convictions, and labored most faithfully for her church. With a true admiration of her character in all the walks of life, and of her efficient and pleasant co-oper? ation with us in our benevolent work, wo wish to leave this brief record of our love and esteem.

P. IT. Bradley died here In night abmit il o'clock. II? was aev ciily-fnur years old. He was the first president of the Greenwood and Augusta Railroad, now the Augusta and Knox ville. After the name of the road was changed he was elected vice president, and held that position until the consoli? dation of the Carolina system of the Georgia Central last fall. He was a member of the Legislature in 1SG5 and 1SGG, alao from 1S80 to 1S83. His death is a severe blow to Abbeville County. Appeal of Tennessee Convicts. Nashville, Tenn., August 11.?Four hundred and one convicts, confined in the main prison at Nashville, have appealed to the people of Tennessee to work for the adoption of the prohibitory amendment. After saying that three fourths of the inmates have been made criminals by intoxicants, they close their appeal as follows: "Wearing the garb of disgrace, being dishonored and counted unworthy to mingle with the people of our State, we yet have the Bame love for our wives, the same affec? tion for our sisters, and for their sake, and for the sake of our children, we appeal to you to unite as one man and free the State from a curse created by the hands of men, discountenanced by the law of God." llev. N. W. Utley, chaplain of the penitentiary, certifies at the bottom of the list of names that the document was prepared by the convicts themselves as a voluntary act on their part. ? The latest reports from the rice crop on the Savannah river is to the effect that a few hundred acres may be saved, but the greater part of the crop is drowned. ? The Keowee Courier says : "Petty thieving is becoming too common, espe? cially stealing from the field. We hear much of this complaint on Keowee River near and on the old Samuel Reid farm. Corn, peas and watermelons are taken or maliciously destroyed by persons un? known to the owners of the crop. It is a penitentiary crime to steal corn from the field, and if a few could be-caught and convicted it would have a wholesome influence in that neighborhood.'' ? The Abbeville Medium says: "Last month William Thomas was brought before Trial Justice Sitton at Due West charged with stealing watermelons. He pleaded guilty and consented to take a whipping instead of the punishment prescribed by law. It is said that Trial Justice Sitton consented to this, saying that tbe whippers must not cut the blood out. He should have sent him to jail or imposed a fine. The report may be a mistake, but we give it as it came to us. We are surprised that Trial Justice Sitton who is a tender-headed man, would per? mit any such thing." ? Gen. James Longstreet lives in a quiet farmhouse on the summit of a mountain ridge in north Georgia. A friend who has just been paying bim a visit say's that his hair is silver, his whis? kers are snow, bis giant figure somewhat bent, but his eagle eyes still flash with the old-time fire, and years have only deepened tbe strong lines in his face. He was dressed for comfort.
