The, election for Intendant and War? dens of the town of Pendleton came off on last Monday, and the interest was centered in two tickets,, which received the following votes respectively : Inten? dant, J.

The day passed off quietly with the following ticket proving successful: .Intendant, Thomas J. Martin; Wardans, N. C. Da? cns, T. M. Mahon, Dr. W. W. Wilson, W. W. Holder. The other ticket was as follows: Intendant, Dr. B. F. Brown; Wardens, Wash Prince, J.. M. Lander, A. Harris, T. M. Mahon. The vote stood about seventy to forty-eight. A few days ago, while splitting boards, Mr. G. W. Smith, of. Brushy Creek Town? ship, out his hand severely. He did not think the wound a dangerous one and did not call in a physician to dress it. His sufferings continued to ? increase, and a day or two after the accident he was forced to send for a physician. When the physi? cian arrived he found that the wound was a serious one, and had to amputate the hand. At last accounts Smith was in a critical condition, and it is feared that he will not live. - The September report of the State Ag ricultural Department gives the following ifacts and figures concerning the condition [of the growing crops: On September 1 the * outlook for cotton is better than for sev reral years, the average condition being j eighty-nine per cent.

The j condition^ ninety-six per cent The av? erage conditions of other crops are as fol? lows : Sorghum 98, sugar-cane 96, peas 98. I Johnston Monitor: "Miss Samuella Brown, of Anderson, who has recently consecrated herself to missionary work in China under the auspices of the Metho? dist denomination, and who will shortly leave Jor New York to prepare herself thoroughly for the work, has been spend? ing a few days in Johnston in the interest of the cause. She has delivered two pub lie lectures, or "talks"?the last one on Monday night in the Methodist Church. She is beautiful in face and figure, highly accomplished, and gifted with rarepowers of tongue and voice. Sorely such a wo? man to leave friends and home for a life in a heathen land must feel deeply im? pressed with the importance and sacred ness of the mission work. She left John Bton on Friday morning, having made a most favorable impression on all who had the pleasure of meeting her." The Augusta Chronicle has been blow? ing considerably for the past ten days about Augusta being the best cotton market in the South. Now, Augusta is a live, progressive city, with several cotton factories, bnt the assertions of the Chroni' cle are a little too broad. We have been watching the Augusta quotations, and we don't think her buyers have yet paid over 9| cents per pound. The same days that cotton was quoted in Augusta at 9J cents, Anderson buyers were paying 91 cents. Anderson is not quite as big as Augusta, nor has she us many cotton buyers, bnt when it comes to bnying cotton, she can't be turned down by any town or city in the South. Our merchants are wide awake, and if the farmers want to get the top of the market for their cotton, and at the same time buy their goods at low prices, we advise them to come to Ander? son/^ ? The Greenville Enterprise and Mountain cur, of lust week, says: "On last Wednes? day evening a sociable was held at tbe Baptist Church in honor of Prof. John M. Patrick, Superintendent of the Mission School on Factory Hill and also President of the Christian Endeavor Society. These two organizations wished to bid farewell to their leader, who was going to Ander? son to teach in the Military School at that place. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. Hartweli R. Mosely. After music, farewell speeches were de? livered by Mr. Henry G. Ferguson, in be? half of the Mission School, and Mr. R. A. Ford in behalf of the Endeavor Society. Prof. Patrick then responded briefly to these, after which he was presented with a bouquet of beautiful flowers by Mr. C. A. Smith, from the Flower Committee. Miss Lucia Patrick, who is a member of the Flower Committee, was also presented with a bouquetrof iluwers by the same gentleman." The deatli of Mr. Lnther A. Watkins, of GaJvin Township, which occurred on last Thursday, 8tb inst, has cast a gloom over that whole section of the County.' He had been sick for three or four weeks with fever, and was thought to be conva? lescing when a sudden change for the worse took place. When informed by his physicians that he would soon pass away, he expressed himself as being perfectly resigned, as it was the "will of Him who doeth all things for the best." He said he had only one regret, and that was to leave his beloved wife and little ones, as he had long ago prepared himself for death. He was conscious almost to the last, and a short time before he died offered np a beautiful prayer for his family. Mr. Watkins was about 29 years of age, and possessed qualities which gained friends for him during the whole of his short life. He was a plain, straight? forward citizen, and an active, working member of the Methodist Church. His remains were interred at Sandy Springs .on last Friday, Rev. J. K. McKain con? ducting the funeral services. His wife and three little children have many sym? pathizers in their bereavement.' Means & McGee's handsome establish? ment is now eqnipped and ready for the fall and winter trade. We were shown through their stock on Tuesday, and we can safely say that they make no idle boast when they say they have the largest and prettiest stock oj clothing, gents' fur? nishing goods, -hats, shoes, trunks, va? lises, etc., they have ever brought to An? derson. Jndging from the number of beautiful suits shown us, their stock has been selected with great care, combined with good judgment and fine taste. There is not much change in the styles from last season; the round-cut sacks and four-but? ton cutaways are the most popular. The Scotch cheviot suits are very pretty and aro.all the go this season. These suits are low-priced and wear well. In hats the styles are abont the same, and as their stock is so large you will find no trouble to get one to_suit yon. Their stock of un? derwear and neck-wear is immense and very attractive. They keep a line of shoes for both sexes. Their stock of youths' suits is large and cheap. It is impossible to tell of the many things we* saw there, therefore we advise you to go and see for yourself. These gentlemen take great pleasure in showing their goo is, and guar? antee satisfaction in every purchase made of them. Read their advertisement. A romantic marriage occurred in the city on Tuesday evening among tbe col? ored population. It seems that for some time past Will. Clark and Rosa Wilson have been lovers, and have wanted to get married, but Rosa's father objected. On Tuesday evening the couple determined to consummate their vows and risk the con? sequences. The girl's father, getting wind of it, undertook to exercise his authority over her by administering a whipping. Ross didn't relish this very much, and gave vent to her feelings by yelling very loud. Just at this juncture some one was passing near by, and, mistaking the yells for the alarm of fire, yelled "fire! fire!" at the top of his voice. In a few seconds the bell was ringing and the city thrown into excitement. The firemen turned out promptly, but no fire could be found, and in a short time it was learned that the alarm was a false one. In the meantime Rosa's father, finding that he was not able to control her, called a policeman and had her conducted to the guard-house, where she was locked up. Rosa had not been in the guard-house but a short time, when her lover appeared and olfercd to take her out and marry her at once. Chief Fant did not think he had any right to detain her under arrest, and at once released her. The couple then went to the residence of Rev, Rob't LaRoche, colored, where, in the presence of a large crowd of both whites and blacks, they were joined to? gether in tbe holy bonds of matrimony. I The Event of the Season. The ladies of the Anderson Baptist con? gregation will give a choice entertainment on next Friday evening, consisting of a comedy, with the most select vocal and instrumental music interspersed. The ?comedy selected is the "Milk Maid Con? vention," which is extremely amusing and entertaining. The best local talent of the city is engaged in the performance, and a most charming evening may be expected. The performance will be given in Masonic Hall, the doors of which will be opened at eight o'clock, and the play will begin at 8.30 o'clock promptly. Reserved seats may be secured at Orr & Sloan's drugstore, and from a number of the young ladies who will sell the same. The object of the en? tertainment is to raise funds to buy a new organ for the Baptist Church. Every lady, gentleman and child in town and the sur? rounding country are invited to attond.

Last Saturday morning a terrible boiler explosion occurred in Brushy Creek Township, tbe particulars of which are given below, which we copy from the ? Greenville News, of Sunday : "About 7 o'clock yesterday morning the boiler at the steam gin of Long & Stegall, about six miles from Piedmont, in Anderson County, burst with a terrific explosion. No special injury was done to any person near by except by being scalded by the terrible clouds of steam which escaped from the bursted boiler, but this alone will probably cost the lives of two men and painful injuries to anoth? er man and boy. The boiler was that be? longing to a small engine such as is gen? erally used for driving gins. One section of the boiler was thrown a distance of about ninety feet from where the engine stood and another was forced through the top of the gin house. "Patrick Stegall, one of the owners of the gin, was terribly scalded, and his in? juries are most likoly to cause his death. "A little five-year old son of John Long was very painfully injured by being scalded. "Frank Anderson, a negro, was so badly scalded that his life is considered very uncertain. "Edward Patterson, another negro, was painfully, but not fatally, injured by the escaping steam." The latest information wo have from the accident is, that Mr. Long's little son died Sunday night, and that Mr. Stegall and Ed. Patterson are in a fair way to re? cover. Frank Anderson's condition is not so favorable, and it is feared that he will die. Jeans 1 Jeans! Jeans! We have the largest stock of Jeans and Cassimers to be found in tbe city.

McDonald, of Varennes Township, quiet? ly and peacefully passed from limn inlo oteriiity, thus ending a well spent lifo, having reached the ripe old nge of 82 years. Capt. McDonald was a nativo of Scotland, having come to America whon quite a youug man. He first settled in i North Carolina, and then removed to Charleston. From Charleston ho refu geed to Anderson during the war. He resided awhile in the city, nnd, being pleased with our climate, soil, etc., he in? vested in the plantation on which he re? sided at the time of his death. For forty years of his life he spent most of his time on the sea, being a Captain of a vessel tbe greater portion of that time. During the first year or two of the war ho was on gaged as a blockade-runner. Capt. Mc? Donald was. a remarkable man in many respects, and was possessed of a fine con? stitution, a bright intellect and a very re? tentive memory. Theso characteristics made him at all times a most congenial companion, and it was a real pleasure to sit down and listen to his anecdotes and tho incidents of his life. He was an up? right, honorable man, and adhered close? ly to the Golden Rule. He was kind and affectionate, and was ever ready to assist suffering humanity. He was a member of Smith's Chapel M. E. Church, and was held in the highest esteem ' by his neigh? bors, all of whom feel that by his death they have lost a safe counsellor and a gocd friend. Capt. McDonald was twice mar? ried* Four children by his first marriage, and his wife and six children by the sec? ond marriage survive him. After appropriate funeral services, conducted at the home of the deceased by Rev. W. A. Hodges, on Mon? day morning, his remains were brought to this city and shipped to Charleston, t ing accompanied by his son-in-law, Dr. W. L. Haynie, He was a prominent member of the Masonic Order, and when bis remains reached Charleston they were taken in charge by Solomon Lodge and interred on Tuesday with Masonic honors. Flat Rock Items. Dr. H. H. Scudday, who has been quite ill for several days, is improving. The friends of Mr. S. H. Finley will be sorry to learn that he is quite sick. * The crops in this community have suf? fered considerably within the past few weeks for the want of rain. The family of Mr. R. R. Beaty was vis? ited last week by the angel of death, who carried off their little infant. Rev. H. M. Allen, assisted by Mr. Ma? rion Gassaway, is now conducting a pro? tracted meeting at this placo, which is largely attended. This community was saddened by the death of Capt. McDonald, which occurred at his home on last SabbatLevening at one o'clock. It would be impossible to tell of the many virtues of this noble man, but God knows them, and he will be justly re? warded. ?_ Flat. Noal's creek Items. The huntsman's horn is heard in the land. Cotton picking is the order of the day. The crop will fall far short of what was expected a few weeks ago. The bay crop is very good, .and will doubtless all be harvested. A very interesting meeting of several days closed at Neal's Creek Cburcb. on Tuesday, 30th ult. Nineteen persons were baptized on that day by the pastor, Rev. D. W. Hiott, in Capt. T. W. Martin's fish pond. The sorghum crop is good in this sec? tion. All the mills have been kept busy for several weeks past. ^ Rev. Edward C. Rice spent several days in this section during tbe protracted meeting, and labored earnestly in the meeting. He is an able speaker, and made many warm friends during his stay in our midst. Work has begun toward building a new school house at this place. When com? pleted it will be a neat and substantial building, and will fill a long felt want in this community. Hoosieb." Denver Items. The dry weather continues, and cotton is opening very fast in consequence. While some claim their cotton to be as good as last year, no doubt the general average will be below the expectations of many. Almost a month has elapsed since the election on Prohibition, and things have about :issumed their normal condition. The little asperities engendered during the campaign will eventually pass away, and the Scriptural injunction to "let brotherly love continue" will prevail. A very interesting meeting has been in progress at New Salem Church, in which the pastor, Rev. J. R. Earle, was assisted by Rev. B. Hays. The meeting resulted in eighteen accessions to the Church. On Sunday, the 11th inst., quite a concourse of people assembled at the pool to witness the rite of baptism, which was adminis? tered by the pastor. On Thursday, 15th inst., the annual Camp Meeting at Sandy Springs com? mences. Mr. C. L. Reed, formerly of this County but now one of the leading merchants of Walhalla, was;in this section lately visiting relatives. He reports the extension of the railroad from the present terminus to the depot in Walhalla as being nearly ready for laying the rails. Mr. W. C. Lee, well known as an ac? commodating baggage master on the rail? road from Belton to Walhalla, has been promoted, and is now conductor on the freight train between the above named points. Denver, or Bird's Crossing as this place is known in railroad circles, is gotting to be a place of some note, judging from the answer that a little school girl in an ad? joining County gave to the question, "What is the capitol of South Carolina?" After the question had been put to the class, and no one could tell, she spoke up and said she knew "it was Bird's Cross? ing." Mrs. Mattie J. Hunter, of Westminster, is visiting relatives near here. Cotton ginners are being kept pretty busy now preparing tbe "fleecy staple" for market. The bum of McElroy's steel brush Gullett can be heard for miles around on the crisp morning air. Jay.
