An Austrian physician says that nine times out of ten headache can be almost instantly cored by swallowing a spoonful of salt dissolved in a quantity of water sufficient to enable the sufferer to drink it. This is worth a trial. - We are requested to announce that Rev. B. M. Pack will begin a protracted meet? ing atShilob Church, in Savannah Town? ship next Sunday night. He will proba? bly be assisted.during the week by Rev. j E. R. Carswell, of Elberton, Ga. Easley Messenger: "Misses Alma and Lois Wickliffe, two of Anderson's lovely brunettes and winsome maidens, bade their friends in this place bye-bye on Monday, last. One of our boys is choked yet from saying that last sad word." The United States District Court, which has been in session in Greenville, ad? journed last Friday. A special term of the Court was ordered to convene on the first Monday in February, and Messrs. C. A. Harper and Chas. E. Horton, of this County, were drawn to serve on the Petty Jnry. Mr. Nim. B. Sullivan has been admitted as a- partner in the firm of Sullivan & Bro., and the style of the firm has been changed to the Sullivan Brothers Hard? ware Company. Mr. Snllivan has long been connected with the house as a sales? man, and has.a thorough knowledge of the business. - Mr. D. J. Simpson, who has been a res? ident of Anderson for several years past, leaves to-day for his former home, Toccoa, Ga., where he will go into business. Seif is a generous, whole-souled Allow, and we regret to see him leave Anderson. His many friends here wish him much saccess in his business venture. Miss Mamie Wickliffe, of this' city, has been offered the position of Principal of the Female-Department of the South Geor? gia Male and Female College, at Dawson, -Ga., which is certainly a compliment to her ability as a teacher. She has decided, however, to remain in Anderson, and will open her school nest Monday. The Ninety Six correspondent of the Abbeville Press and Banner says: 'Well done thou good and faithful servants.' This should be said of Messrs. Murray, Cray ton and others who worked so nobly for the' temperance cause in Anderson. They are on the right Bide and should have no apologies to make to anybody." Mr. J. H. Townsend has purchased one of Mason's Cylinder Gins, and expects to have it ready for work at his gin house in this city this week. He bought it more especially to gin the Peterkin and Rob? erts cotton. It does the same amount of work as the best saw gins of the same size, and is guaranteed to make a superior staple. . ? Annie May, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 8. M. Murphy, of this city, died last Thursday afternoon, after an illness of about three months, aged fourteen months. After appropriate funeral services on Fri? day morning, the little one's remains were laid to rest in Silver Brook Ceme? tery. . This is the first interment in the Cemetery; Three bales of the new crop of cotton were received at Pelzer, Saturday, The first bale was from W. H. Latimer, of HoneaPath township. Mr. Latimer re? ceived 11 cents, per pound for his bale, which was in accordance with the Pelzer company's custom of paying a premium on the price of each season's first bale brought them. The friends of Capt. John McFall in this County will read the following, which we take from the Abbeville Medium, with I pleasure: "John McFall, of Cokesbary, in company with two others, bought a marble quarry in Alabama some months ago. A few days ago a part of it was sold for $225,000, and he has gone out to get his share of the money.'j Maj. J. M. Thompson, of Birmingham, Ala., arrived in Anderson on a short visit last week and will remain a few days longer visiting relatives and friends in this County with Mrs. Thomson. Maj. Thompson is one of Birmingham's most successful and prominent citizens. An? derson, however, owes him a grudge for having taken away from us one of our most popular ladies. Mr. C. W. Webb received a telegram on.Monday announcing the death of his brother-in-law, Mn I. O. McDaniel, which occurred on Sunday night at his home in Allatoona, Ga. Mr. McDaniel, it will be remembered, married Mrs. Sam'l Wilkes, formerly of this city. He was the father of Ex-Gov. McDaniel, of Georgia, and was a most estimable citizen of that State. Mrs. McDaniels' many friends in Anderson deeply sympathize with her in her bereavement. The Pendleton Farmers' Society has ar? ranged for Its annual Stock Show in Oc? tober by voting the necessary funds. Messrs. Trescott, Bo wen and Sitton, who have been appointed to superintend the necessary arrangements, will make a suc? cess of it. By unanimous consent it will be continued for two days. The Driving Association will ha>o both its track and the horses to be speeded in better trim than heretofore, and will add very much to the interest of the Show proper. Dr, R. F. Divver has tendered his res? ignation as Chief of the Anderson Fire Department. The pressure of private business has forced him to do this. His successor has not yet been selected. Dr. Divver has worked with untiring zeal and energy to maker' our Fire Department what it is, one of the best in the State, and onr citizens as well as the members of the Department regret that he has resigned. The Doctor says he will continue a mem? ber of the Department, and will at all times be ready and willing to assist in fighting fire. Miss Bettie Allison died at the residence of Mr. E, H. Poore, in Belton Township, on August 5th, after an illness of several weeks, aged about 47 years. Miss Allison was a native of Laurens County, but for some time past had been residing at Mr. Poore's, and in that neighborhood she made a host of friends, who esteemed her very highly. She was a consistent mem? ber of the Baptist Church. Her remains were carried to Laurens County and in? terred at Chestnut Ridge Church, the fu? neral services being conducted by the Rev. Mr. Pitts. Dr. W. L, Jenkius, an aged and es? teemed citizen of Pendleton, died of appo plexy on Tuesday morning, the 30th of August, at the age of seventy-three years. Dr. Jenkins had been a sufferer for more than a year from rheumatism, and had recently been more indisposed than usual, but feeling better on Tuesday morning, started to take a little walk towards town. When a short distance from his house his daughter saw him fall, and hastening to him found him dying. He survived but a few minutes, and never spoke after sho reached him. Dr. Jenkins was a native of Charleston, but removed to Pendleton before the war, and has since resided there. He was an upright, honorable and respected gentleman, and as a physi? cian was a popular and successful practi TO tioner. Ho leaves a host of friends who unite in sympathy with the family in this sad bereavement. Dr. A. P. Johnstone left Anderson on Monday to attend the annual session of the Southern Dental Association, which convened at Old Point Comfort, Va., last Tuesday. From there he will go to Wash? ington, D. 07, where he will attend the International Medical and Dental Con? gress, which meets next Monday, and will continue in session a week. Presi? dent Cleveland will open the session with an address, and will be followed by Sec? retary Bayard and other distinguished gentlemen. Delegates from all parts of the world will be present. Dr. Johnstone has accepted an invitation to perform some operation in Operative Dentistry be? fore the Congress during its session. Con? sidering the fact that there were only a few invitations of this character extend? ed, this is certainly a high compliment to Dr. Jobnstone'a ability as a dentist. He will be absent from the city about ten days. Mrs. Eva Poore, the beloved wife of Mr. E. H. Poore, of Belton Township, died suddenly last Monday morning. She had been ill for several days, though her condition was not considered danger? ous. On Monday morning the family physician called to see her and found her improving rapidly. While he was in the room talking with members of the family, some one noticed that Mrs. Poore was gasping for breath, and in a twinkling she passed from time into eternity. She was troubled with heart disease, which is supposed to have caused her death. Mrs. Poore was about 30 years of age. About a year ago she was united in marriage with Mr. Poore. She was a lady of many noble traits of character, and hor death has brought sorrow to the hearts of a host of friends. Sbe was a consistent member of the Baptist Church. Her re? mains were interred at -Belton on Tuesday morning, Rev. Dr. Manly conducting the funeral services. The County Commissioners went to the scene of the recent iron bridge disaster last week for the purpose of settling the ques? tion as to where the loss of the bridge will fall. The facts are that the contractors notified the Commissioners that the bridge was completed, and ready for reception by them, and the Commissioners delayed action until they could secure an engineer to examine the bridge. Mr. St. John Cox, of Greenville, was secured, and wont to the bridge when the water was near the floor of the structure. He examined the portion above water, and reported that the bridge had been built according to specifications. The Commissioners were notified a few days later that the bridge had been carried away by the freshet. This left the matter purely one of performance of contract, and the Commissioners made a most thorough examination of the wreck, and found that the contractors had done their work fully up to the contract. The Couunty is, therefore, liable for the bridge. Mr. Crafts, repr?3senting 'the Bridge Company, has offered to replace the bridge at actual cost, without any profit or commission. The Commissioners have taken up his proposi? tion, so far as getting the bridge out of the river is concerned, and the wreck will be removed at once- When the bridge is taken out oT the water they will ascertain the damage, and then decide whether they will at this time replace the bridge, or wait for some future time. If the bridge is re? placed, it will be put six feet or more higher, and the middle span will rest upou a substantial stone pier, so that it will be entirely safe from floods in the future. Mr. Summers'? Statement. Several days ago Mr. J. 0. Summers called at our office and ascertained the facts as to the authority for the publica? tion about the alleged shooting of Mose Linch by Mrs. M. P. Wernerand the find? ing of the note with his name signed to it. He was naturally indignant about the matter, but very sensibly saw that the papers were not to blame for publishing the statement, and asked that he be ac? corded an opportunity of making a state? ment to the public about tho matter, which of course we cheeriully accorded. On Monday last he came to the Editor of the Intelligencer with his friends, Messrs. Samuel McCrary and C. D. Mad? den, and requested that we state to the public for him that he has had no connec? tion with the shooting in any way; He does not know any such negro as Mose Linch, and has never ernployed him or any other pe'ison to get any papers or commit any trespass at Mr. Werner's or any other place. He says that he did not write the note alleged to have been found by Mrs. Werner, and that he does not kuow of any paper of any kind that Mr. Werner or any of his family have which could be of any possible uso to him, either in Court or any other way. He says that he has made enquiry and cannot find any person who knows Mose Linch, or any person who has seen or heard of a man, dead or alive, who would answer for the alleged wounded negro. He says that Mr. Miles Werner lived with him in 1885 and 6, and that they had a disagreement about a settlement which is now in litigation, but that there are no papers bearing on the case that he knows anything about. Messrs. McCrary and Madden say that they went out to Mr. Werner's to see the note and get it for the purpose of comparing with Summer's handwriting, and that Mr. Werner told them before producing the note that he could tell them before hand that it was not in Summer's natural handwriting. They did not know the handwriting, and asked Mr. Werner to lend them the note for the purpose of bringing it to Pendle? ton and comparing it, promising to take care of it and return it safely to him, but Mr, Werner declined to permit them to do so. While we were talking, Mr. Mor? gan Jeffreys, who lives about half a mile from Mr. Werner's, came up, and on being asked if he knew anything about this matter, stated that one evening Henry Werner came by his house with a gun in his hands, and asked him to go over and spend the night at his brother Miles Wer? ner's house, saying that his brother was away from home and they expected a raid that night. Mr. Jeffreys was not impressed with the) necessity for it, and declined to go. The next morning he heard that a negro had gone to Mrs. Wer? ner's while Miles and Henry were away from home, and been shot as stated last week by Mrs. Werner. In going by the Louse Mrs. Werner told him of the shoot? ing, and showed him a pocket handker? chief that had been torn in four pieces, which had blood on it of a bright, red color. The handkerchief appeared to have been pressed to some bloody place. He noticed one chicken feather~on the bloody handkerchief. He stated that he knew of no such negro as Mose Linch, and had not heard of any person since the shooting that would seem possible to be the wounded man. Mr. Summers con? cluded his statement by saying that there was not a particle of truth in the state? ment or implied charge that he wrote the note, or had anything to do with it, or with sending anybody to Mr. Werner's to get any papers or for any other purpose before the time of the alleged shooting or sinoe, except the friends named above to exam? ine that note. He says that Mr. Werner ought to be able to find the negro or show the papers he wanted, or trace the forged note to him. Ho claims to have been grossly misrepiesented and slandered in this matter, and desires the fullest inves? tigation. _ House and Lot For Sale. I desire to sell my House and Lot, in the city of Anderson, on Belton street. Con? venient to the Square. Call and see me, 7-2 Mrs. L. J. McFall. A Fleaoant Evening nt Helton. It is not often our privilege to attend a more pleasant entertainment than tbat given by the "Little Gleaners' Society" of the Belton Baptist Church in Belton last Friday evening. The entertainment took place in Stringer's Hall, which, at an early hour, was comfortably filled by an intelligent and highly appreciative audi? ence. The occasion was opened with a chorus, "Happy are We," which was sung very sweetly by a number of charming lassies and lads, with Miss Eva Stringer at the organ, after which tho following programme was rendered: Recitation, "Prayer and Potatoes," Miss Bosa Poore. Instrumental Music, Messrs. C.F. Hoke and L. L. McGeo. Recitation, "Children's Wishes," Misses Mattie Brown, Kate Sutherland, Rena Rice, and Masters Eddy Poore, Clarence Rice, Floyd Cox. Song, "Nellie's Blue Eyes," Misses Eva Stringer, Stella Mitchell, Bessie Kay. Recitation, "Katie Lee and Willie Gray," Miss Daisey Rice. Song, duet, "I'm Going to Write to Pa? pa," Misses Rosa Poore and Mattie Brown. Recitation, "Now and Thon," Miss Mal lio Geer. Instrumental Music, Mossrs. Hoke and McGee. Recitation, "Littlo Dora's Soliloquy," Miss Id eile Rice. Music, Chorus. Recitation,' "Digging Gold," Masters Blair Rice and Herman Poore. The above programme was exceedingly interesting throughout, each one carrying his or her part out perfectly. Mias Ella McGee, one of Belton's most excellont and accomplished young ladies, devised the entertainment and managed it throughout, and to her efforts is due largely its success. At tho conclusion of the above pro? gramme the audience were given an op? portunity to indulge in some refreshments, which were served at reasonable prices. The flower stand, "Rebecca's Well" and the Art Gallery were also liberally pat? ronized. During the evening a large, handsome cake was voted to the prettiest young la3y present, and Miss Mamie Miller, of Green? ville, having received the highest number of votes, was presented with the cake, She donated it back to the Society, with the request that it be voted to the ug? liest young man present. In this contest Mr. John M. Geer received the highest number of votes, and he was declared to be "entitled to the cake." The young people lingered in the Hall until a late hour, enjoying themselves as they are wont to do, and when they re? tired all felt that the evening had been a most enjoyable one. Twlggs' Items, Old Boreas has given us warning the past few days to prepare for his visits in ?tke near future. ? Fodder is about all pulled and safely housed. The fleecy staple is niak: Jg quite a show in some fields. The public ginners are about ready to commence operations, and the cotton crop will all be gathered and ready for market by the first of November. The persimmon crop is the largest we have had for a number of years. Water? melons have been abundant, and of ex? cellent quality. Mr. Lewis Bozeman is the champion melon raiser in this section ; -h^e has been hauling them from his field by V>? wagon load and giving them to his ndghbors, and he says a large quantity will rot in the field. Miss Lizzie Hutchinson, a charming young lady of Abbeville County, who has been spending eoveral weeks with relatives in this section, has returned home. A great many of our young people con? template visiting Atlanta during the Pied? mont Exposition in October next. Messrs. E. C. and H. Pruitt have opened their store at this place with a large slock of new goods. They are both energetic, reliable young men, and propose to sell goods as cheap as they can be bought in the up country. A protracted meeting has been in pro? gress at this place for several days past. Rev. H. M. Allen has been laboring faith? fully, and large congregations have attend? ed each service. We trust much good has been done. Rev. A. M. Attaway closed a very interesting meeting last Friday night at Hebron church. Mr. George Stevenson, an old and highly respected citizen of our neighbor? hood, says he has a vest that is well pre? served, and looks as if it were new, that he wore it at his wedding fifty-six years ago. He says it is his desire tbat it constitute a portion of his burial suit when he shuffles off this mortal coil. ? We trust many years yet are youchedsafed to "Uncle" George, and that the aforesaid vest may not be called into service for many years to come. He is hale and hearty, and the largest potato and ground pea grower in this sec? tion. The survivors of Company "F," 24th Regiment, S. C. V., will have a reun? ion at this place on next Friday, 2nd prox? imo. All of the surviving members of the Company are expected to be p^ent with their families. "Omega." Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 27th, 1887. Editor Anderson Intelligencer : A number of prominent people of your County have desired me to express to the public my opinion of the cause of the fall of the iron bridge over the Seneca River, and I take pleasure in doing so in this way. In the first place I will say, that as the contractor for the bridge, I have, all the time, felt my personal reponsibility, arid that if the bridge should fail through any defect in the design or construction, the whole blame would be laid on me. As a civil engineer, I have had charge of many important works, and my work gener? ally will testify as to my ability in that direction. The work on this bridge was done in the most thorough manner, as Mr. Cox, the civil engineer who made the exami? nation for the Commissioners, has testi? fied so far as he examined, Particular care was taken with the foundations, and as the whole structure is dependent on them, your Commissioners made a most careful and rigid examination in that par? ticular before they would accept the bridge. They not onl7 took testimony of men on the work, but they examined into the condition of the work after the fall, having an expert diver for the purpose, and thoroughly convinced themselves that everything was well done before they accepted it. The disaster was unquestionably duo to the extreme freshet in the river, and the rafls aud logs which were brought down by it. The bridge withstood the first freshet without being in tho least affected, and everybody said that that was a good proof of its substantiability, the water at that time being up to the floor of the bridge. Some may think proper care was not taken in placing the bridge above high water. Tho Commissioners and myself, when deciding on that point, acted on the advice of reliable parties in that vicinity, who showed the highest watermark as two or three feet below the grade fixed. The bridge was set at tho samo height as Earle's bridge aboyo, that boing deemed amply high. Tho recent freshet, however, proves that the water is higher than statod, or at Earle's Bridge, due probably to the great water from Deep Creek. In closing, I would say that your Com? missioners have acted in a businesslike manner throughout, and have done their whole duty by tho County, and that the misfortune was caused by forces not with? in control and that were not foreseen. Very respectfully, George H. Crafts. Belton Items. Mr. G. Ernest McGee left on Saturday for Eastman Business College, Fough keepsie, N. Y. A series of revival services are in pro? gress at the Baptist Church. It is hoped much good will be accomplished. Mr. John S. McFall and family, of Wild Woods, Florida, are visiting Dr. J. C. Har? ris. Also, Miss Carrie Hnrdy, of Allen dale, is with Mrs. W. C. Latimer. The young people of Belton had a most enjoyable picnic at Cooley's Bridge on last Thursday. This was given in honor of our visiting young ladies. It was one of the most pleasant pic nies your correspon? dent ever attended. Our fust two bales of new cotton were received on Saturday. Both bales sold for OA cenls. Our merchants are getting in Fall stocks, and are prepared to sell goods, buy cotton atd, in fact, compete with any retail market. Our cotton crops are proving to be very sorry, there being nothing scarcely but the bottom crop. The crop may prove to be 10 per cent, in advance of last year's. G. Tho Piedmont Association. Equality. August 26,1887. Mr. Editor: The Piedmont Association, composed at present of the Elders and Deacons of the Presbyterian Churches in Pickens County and Midway, Mt. Zion and Slabtown Churches in Anderson County, held its eighth semi-annual meet? ing with the Midway Church on Friday and Saturday before the third Sabbath inst The meeting was opened with a sermon by the Rev. A. P. Nicholson. All the Cburchos were represented except New Pickens and Easley. The Execu? tive Committeo submitted a series of questions for discussion. To give even a synopsis of the action taken in reference to these various questions would con? sume too much of your space. Elders and Deacons generally seemed interested, and either participated in the discussions or answered certain questions propound? ed. These meetings were started at tho in? stance of the Rev. J. R. Riley, D. D., in December, 1883, and have been continued regularly .twice a year since. The main design is to stimulate the officers of the Church in the discharge of their respective duties by conferring together about the needed work of the Church and the ways and means of carrying it on. The next meeting will be held with the Easley Church, commencing on Friday before the second Sabbath in January, 1888. A motion made to change the con? stitution so as to meet only annually was voted down. Thanks wero tendered to the good people of Midway for their kind hospitality, after which the meeting adjourned.
