The annual excursion from Charleston to the mountains took place on the 17th inst. A large number of people took ad? vantage of the low rates offered and came to the up-country. Why is it that the up corjiutry. people can't get such low rates to Charleston? An old bachelor suggests that Anderson have a baby show at an early day. He says- there are a large number of fine , looking babies in the city, and he would like to see them all on exhibition. No doubt it would be a good show. Who will undertake to get it up ? ? The first bale of new cotton for this season was sold in the city on Tuesday, 23rd inst., by Mr. Press B. Allen, of the Corner. Messrs.

Mr. Wag ener is one of Charleston's most progress? ive citizens, and his visits to Anderson are always a source of much pleasure to his numerous friends. ' The SartwetrS&?C of last week, says: "CoL W. W. Holland, of the Fork in South Carolina,'shipped from Hartweil Mondaya seventy-five pound watermel? on of his own raising to President Cleve? land. The express charges were $2.40. The President may appreciate the luscious in "on as the gift from one of the old school generous Southern planters."

No admission fee. will be charged. It will be a unique entertain? ment, and a pleasant evening is in store for those who attend. . The proceeds will go to the new Church. Encourage the young ladies by yonr presence and a lib? eral patronage. The Newberry Herald and News, of last week, says: "Mr. Robert B. Norris, who has been the efficient telegraph operator at this place for some time, left on Tues? day to take charge of the office at Wal? halla. We commend Mr. Norris and his good lady to the good people of Walhalla." Mr. Norris will ba both agent and opera? tor at Walhalla.

Langaton, the handsome young local editor of the Anderson Intelligencer, was a delegate to the Grand Division* lately held in Ab? beville, S. C. Why do the fair brave daughters of this land allow Brother Langaton to wander alone and unprotect? ed ?" We, too, Brother Mattison, would like to know why such is the case. If you get an answer to your question, and it is at all favorable to us, will you be kind enough to notify us immediately ? On Saturday, 13th inst., Mrs. Caroline Wardlaw, wife of Mr. Joseph H. Ward law, died at her home nearPiercetown, in this County, from pneumonia. She was about thirty years old, and leaves a hus? band and eight children, the eldest about fourteen years old and the youngest only a week old. She was buried on the day fol? lowing at Mc. Pisgah Church. A good wife, a devoted mother and a consistent Christian has passed away. The bereaved husband and little children have the deep? est sympathy of a large circle of friends and relatives. - The Postoffice Department has arranged to issue aboot September 15 the adhesive stamps and the stamped envelopes with a change in the colors. The main object is to make the color of these two classes of stamps correspond. The 2 cent adhesive stamp will be changed in color from red to green, and the 3 cent stamp from green to vermillion. The designs will remain the same. The color of the 2 cent stamp on the stamped envelope will be changed from red to green; the 4 cent stamp from green to carmine; the 5 cent stamp from brown to dark blue; the 30 cent stamp from black to brown, and the 90 cent stamp from carmine to purple. A new schedule went into effect on the P. R. & W. C. Railroads 8unday. The train arrives in Anderson now at 2.15 p. m. and leaves at 2.45, remaining here only thirty minutes. The Sunday train arrives at 1.10 p. m. and leaves at 3.30 p. m. The last schedule was bad enough, but this is worse, for Anderson. We hope this schedule is only temporary, and that we will soon have a sohedule so ar? ranged that people living along the Road may come to Anderson, attend to their business and return home the same day. Such a schedule, we thihk, would prove a benefit to the Road, and we are confident the people along the line would appre? ciate it. The Easley Messenger, of last week, says: "Next week Anderson reclaims a famil" from us who have been in our town U some time. Mr. T. A. Archer, who, sine, the opening of the Easley Tin Shop, has been connected with it, has accepted a po? sition in that town. Mr. Archer stands as high as any one in our community, and daring his short stay here has filled sev-, oral posit ious of honor und trust, among thein Superintendent of the Presbyterian Sunday School and one of the members of thp Town Council. We thank Ander? son for the loan of him daring the past two years, and hope for his speedy return among us." Mr. Archer has accepted a position with Mr. L. H. Seel. What a mind people have for gossiping I No wonder the divine writer said, "Bri? dle the tongue." What a disposition to talk about persons instead of things! But then this is easily, accounted for when we remember that any fool can talk about persons, but it requires sense to discuss things. There are a few people in every place who seem to delight in running about and. telling every little thing they hear, and the worst of it all is that they do not always confine themselves to the truth. With some it has grown to a dis? ease. They just must talk about some? body. It is a great source of evil to a town or a community, and the devil wants no better agency than this to accomplish his d sign, and the person so engaged is doing for the devil what he won't do him? self. Stop talking about people, and go to reading and studying and learn to talk about things. A Plucky Woman. - On Friday, 12th inst., a shooting affray occurred near Pendleton. From what we can learn the facts are about as follows: Some time since Messrs. Miles Warner and Joseph Summers had a law suit, which was decided in favor of the former. Shortly afterwards Mr. Warner was called away on business to Greenville. Sum? mers, hearing of Mr. Warner's absence, sent a negro, named Moses Lynch, to his home to see if he could not by some means got hold of the papers which War? ner held in connection with the case. The negro approached the house and, calling Mrs. Warner to the door, told her his errand, and demanded that she give up the papers immediately, and threaten? ing, if she did not do eo to cut her throat. Mrs. Warner replied that rather than-be killed she would give up the papers and went back into the house as if to get them, but instead of getting them, she picked up a double-barreled shot gun. Lynch, seeing the gun, started to run, and as he did so Mrs. Warner fired at him through a window. The shot brought the.negro to the ground, but be soon arose, and as he did so she fired the second time. Lynch ran off, and as he did so he dropped a small memorandum book in which was a postal card addressed to bim from Sum? mers. The following is a copy of the card: August 10th. Come down here. I want to see you. Come as soon as you can, before I go back to Court. I want you to do what we was talking about, and I will pay you well if you get them. Jo. Summers. The negro is badly, though not fatally, wounded. A warrant for the arrest of the negro has been issued by Trial Justice Todd of Oconee County. Mrs. Warner acted discreetly In the matter, and her courage and marksman? ship are to be commended. A Visit to a Vineyard. Last Saturday afternoon our clever friend, Mr. J. A. Daniels, invited us to ride out to bis farm with him. We had heard a number of persons speak of bis farm and vineyard, and of course we ac? cepted his invitation and went with him. Whenever there is a prospect of enjoying a nice treat, newspaper men and preach? ers are always ready to be on hand. His farm lies about six miles from the city, on the Pendleton road. The tract comprises about 83 acres, and when Mr. Daniels came into possession of it, the greater por? tion of it was considered almost worth? less, but to-day it presents quite a valua? ble appearance, which has been accom? plished by energy and hard work. Mr. D. H. Green resides on the place. Three years ago Mr. Daniels became interested in grape culture, and as there were long hill-sides on his place, not fit for produc? ing either corn or cotton, he decided that it would pay him to set.these hill-sides in grape vines. He secured about 400 cut? tings of the Concord variety and planted them out, and at the same time began ter? racing the land. These did so well that he has added to them, and now has about 1500 cuttings growing nicely. He has several varieties, but is partial to the Con? cord, as he thinks that variety is better adapted to our climate. This fall Mr. Daniels will set out a large' number of | cuttings. It is certainly an interesting sight to visit his vineyard and see the hundreds of large, luscious bunches of grapes, and it is equally as interesting to sit down and eat your fill, as we did. The grapes are now ripening rapidly, and Mr. Daniels is disposing of a quantity of them at ten cents per pound. What he does not dispose of will be made into wine. If any one doubts that grapes will not grow suc? cessfully in this country, we advise them to visit this vineyard. Not a stalk of cot? ton is planted on the place, but a big crop of corn is cultivated, and considerable attention is given to melons, fruits, etc. Last year six hundred pounds of fine to? bacco was raised. The Farmers' Meeting. The meeting of the farmers of Anderson County which was called at Sandy Springs Camp Ground for Tuesday last, was at? tended by a large number of ladies and gentlemen from the surrounding country, despite the pouring rain and lowering clouds. With clear skies we have no doubt there would have been several thou? sand persons present, for as it was the spacious arbor was comfortably filled with an eager, intelligent and enthusiastic audi? ence, composed mainly of the, leading far? mers of the County, with their wives and daughters and lady friends. The meeting was called to order by Col. P. If. Norris, who expressed regret at the unfavorable weather, and spoke briefly of the objects and importance of the meeting to the far? mers of the State. He introduced as the first speaker for the day, Col. L. L. Polk, of j Raleigh, N. C, who he said was the Joshua of the farmers of North Carolina. Col. Polk responded in an able and conserva? tive speech, in which he showed the neces? sity of organization among the farmers, and the education of the sons and daugh? ters of the farmers of the country in those matters pertaining to agriculture. His speech was elevated in sentiment, strong In the presentation of the farmer's ills, and conservative in the remedies he proposed. Col. Norris next introduced Hon. James E. Tindall, of Clarendon, who spoke ably and earnestly on the objects and purposes of the farmers' movement. He urged the farmers to organize and secure the advan? tages of concentrated action. The two demands he thought thr farmers of the State should make upon the Legislature, are the re-organization of the Agricultural Department of the State, and the establish? ment of an Agricultural. College for the education of the young men of the State in agricultural science. Col. Norris next introduced Hon. M. L. Donaldson, of Greenville, who made an interesting and forcible speech on the ne? cessities of agricultural education, the or? ganization of the farmers of the State, and the remedies for the evils of our present agricultural condition. At the conclusion of the discussion, Mr. John C. Watkins offered the following -resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That it is the sense of this mass meeting that the Board and Department of i Agriculture should spend no more money upon the Experimental Stations until fur? ther instructed by the Legislature. Resolved, The plea of the Board that their action is mandatory under the law should not influence said Board, because the peo? ple had demanded one Station and College; the two Stations were established as a po? litical trick to defeat the people of their wishes, as unmistakably expressed by them in two State Conventions. A recess of one hour was then taken and, a bounteous pic nie dinner was enjoyed, after which the meeting reassembled, und Hon. J. Bel ton Watson introduced as the speaker of the evening Capt. B. It. Till man, who made a vigorous arraignment of the attitude of our State Government to? wards the farmers of the State, and partic? ularly in the matter of agricultural educa? tion. He criticised the State Senate for not passing the Bill relating to the reorganization of the Agricultural Department, and was severe upon the lawyers, saying that only four lawyers out of fifteen in the Senate voted for these measures. He vowed eternal conflict and agitation until these requests, which are reasonable, are complied with. Capt. Tillman was repeatedly greeted with lo ud applause. The meeting passed oil most pleasantly, and will doubtless do much towards ce? menting the farmers in a united effort to improve the agricultural interests of the County. Real's creek Items. Most of the negroes were sadly, sadly disappointod that the bar-rooms did not open last Wednesday morning. Rest time has come and gone, and all aro busily engaged pulling fodder. Up? land corn and cotton were not ;damaged by the recent freshets, but corn on tbe low? land was seriously damaged. However, if no other disaster befalls us, we will be rewarded with a bountiful yield. Most of the roads in this section have been recently worked, and presont a fine appearance. Tbe people are now much pleased with the plan they once so much disliked. Lumber has been sawed for tbe new school-house at this place. Tbe patrons should have the house built before win? ter, if possible. Neal's Creek has an ex? cellent teacher, and she deserves a better house.' Tbe Prohibitionists in this section ac? cepted the result of tbe election in good humor. It hurts too bad to laugh and we feel too large to cry. We think the Pro? hibitionists did-well under the circum? stances, aud have no reason to be discour? aged. Hoosier. Bel ton Items. Mr. L> C. Todd and family returned to their home, Waxahachie, Texas, on Thurs? day, August 18th. Misses Mamie Miller, Daisy Putnam, Lou Breazeale and Zulu Skinner, of Greenville, and Miss Lula McFall, of Cokesbury, are visiting friends here. Such an array of beauty and intelligence it is seldom our privilege to have' the pleasure of entertaining. Miss T. Y. Williams, of Lancaster, Jo? seph E. Brown, Jr., of Georgia, and R. A. Ford, of Greenville, spent a few days with us, all of whom have made favorable im? pression. Married, on Thursday, August 18tb, by Rev. M. McGee, at the residence of Mr- J. C. Ragsdale, Mr. Thos. B. Dugan and Miss Anna Bell Ragsdale. The Little Gleaner's Society, of the Bel ton Baptists, will give an entertainment, at Stringer's Hall on Friday evening Au? gust 26th. The exercises will consist of recitations, dialogues and music by the members of the society. The other attrac? tions of the evening will consist in tbe serving of refreshments, &c. We bespeak for this noble little band a crowded house. Rev. Dr. Manly, pastor of the Baptist Church, will commence a series of revival services on Monday evening, August 29th. Mr. George Shirley, one of Abbeville's progressive farmers, sold to Messrs. J. M. Geer & Co., last week, seventeen bales of cotton, some of which was raised in '84. Mr. Shirley is one of the few farmers who raises cotton as a surplus, and consequently always has money. G. Holland's Store Items. This community was saddened on Sun? day morning, the l-Ith ult., at tbe an? nouncement of the death of Mrs. Sallie Sadler, which occurred at the home oT her father, Mr. J. F. Glenn, tbe night before, of typhoid fever. She h > been married only about eight months, andber untimely end leaves an aching void in tbe hearts of her bereaved parents and husband that this world can never fill. Only eighteen years of age. How sad that one who had scarcely reached woman? hood should be called from her sphere of duty here to her reward in the spiiit land. Her brief life is ended, her race is run, tbe battle fought, tbe victory won, and wo have good reasons to believe that she is at rest. Her remains were interred in the Ruhaman burial ground on Sunday evening, Rev. Mr. Attaway conducting the services. A protracted meeting is iu progress this week at Cross Roads. Rev. Mr. Allen, the pastor, preaches night and day to attentive congregations. Crops are doing fine. Fodder pulling is the order of tbe day. Cotton is opening slowly. Sorghum is being manufactured, and to make a long story short, the farmer has his hands full just now. The election passed off quietly. The anties worked like Tar Heels for their rights and got them. The prohibitionists take their defeat in good humor, believ? ing that in the future they will succeed yet. A right cause never fails, and the defeat will hut give us renewod vigor for tbe next contest. We heard during the recent canvass a speech from tbe antie side that equalled in barefaced audacity anything that was de? livered by the recent Chicago anarchists. God save the country from the influence of such speeches and from such men. The voters of the County will do well to keep their eyes open in the future. Burke. flat RopH Items. The school at this place has closed. Mr. Todd ha* done good and faithful work. Mr. W. D. Hall, who has been ill, is now improving. Mrs. Elizabeth Bejl is now quite sick and has been for several weeks past. The early sown turnips are looking finely. The pea crop is looking line and prom? ises an abundant yield. Cotton has commenced opening and will soon be ready for picking. The crop will be short in this section. This will oe quite a busy week with the farmers, as fodder is ready for pulling, and will be very troublesome to pull as a great portion of the corn has been blown down. Last Sunday it was our pleasure to be at Mt. Creek Church and listen to one of Rev. B. M. Pack's well prepared sermons which was listened to with much interest. He expects to continue tho meeting the remainder of the week. A few weeks ago a couple of young lovers came from near the Savannah River to our neighbor Brown's, and start? ed bim for the preacher. In one hour's time Rev. H. M. Allen pronounced them man and wifo. The parties were Mr. James Greonaway and Miss Lela Brown. Tho election for prohibition or no-pro? hibition is past. It seems tbe noprohi bitionists had the majority, in number at least. But we should not be disco uraged, the cause of prohibition has not been injured or those who favored it. We were with a largo number of sub? stantial farmers the other day, and they expressed themselves as being stronger for prohibition than ever before. We hoard one of tho anties in a speech say prohibition rose in a dark cloud, and if we are not mistaken it certainly set in opo, FlAT. Fork Items. A tract of land, containing 104 acres, was sold publicly on the Gth inst. by the execu tors of W. R. Compton's estate, and pur chased by Mr. W. J. Compton for $1,175. On the Gth inst., at the residence of Mr. J. P. Todd, Mr. C. E. Maret was wedded to Miss Alene Brock, Rev. J. R. Earle officia? ting. The proposed new road from Brown's Muster (iround to the iron bridge over Seneca meets with fierce opposition. We trust, th.it the opposition is prompted by other motives than that of selfishness. The new road cannot pass everybody's house, j et if the iron bridge he rebuilt we regard the road as a necessity. The election of last Tuesday passed olf very quietly. The white vole was almost solid for prohibition, and the colored vote was solid against it. The negroes of this community were tremendously worked up, and inspired by their leader, Rev. Parker, they evinced more zeal and displayed far more obstinacy and bitterness than ever in the darkest days of radicalism. Most of them said that they were "prohibition? ists, but 'jected to de bill, 'specially article The writer was told by some of the darkies on the day preceding the election " 'dat if article 7 cotch a nigger with a drap of spirits in his house it sen' him to de penitentiary three years." Others said "it put de nigger back In bondage," and again others claimed "dat dey is a black garrison in de low country, and if niggers vote de bill, 'specially article 7, dey mob him nex' night, shore." Even some of the more in? telligent colored men declared that if pro? hibition passed, a non-landowner could not move nor sell any of his produce without having a written permit from the landlord. Though we are unable to say who it was that was base enough to start such reports, yet the fact that these, and many others equally false, absurd and ri? diculous were circulated among these igno? rant and deluded people will ever remain the same. The damages sustuined by this commu? nity, in consequence of the recent freshet.0, are very great. Public roads, many of | which had been recently worked, are fear? fully washed, and in places rendered al? most impassable. Nearly every bridge in the township has been washed away. The bridge at Maret's, across the Beaverdam, was never washed away before in the recol? lection of the oldest inhabitant. The damages inflicted upon*the farmers cannot be estimated, for the injuries that may re? sult to the growing crops cannot now be forecast. The corn crop is damaged at least fifty per cent, while cotton has taken on a very luxuriant growth without much fruit. Farming lands are fearfully guttered and washed. We trust, however, that with fa? vorable seasons the outcome may yet ex? ceed our most sanguine expectations, f House and I<ot For Sale.
