Greenville JVVuw; "Anderson is a plucky
little city, and is determined to keep up
? with the procession when it comes to
summer entertainments. Preparations
are already being made for a Firemen's
Tournament this summer, Anderson has
! one of the most efficient and 'compact
small fire departments in the country,
and she ought to make a splendid success
of the proposed Tournament. Greenville
gives good wishes for the enterprise."
? Our locnl concerning the bat being
found in a tree where it had been for
? about seventy years, without food, air or
water has been doubted by some of our
readers, but it was verified last Tuesday
1 by Charles Hay nie, who found it, bring?
ing to our office the bat and a block of
I the tree in which it wrs found, contain
i ing the cavity, wherein the bat had lived
so long. From all appearances and the
willingness oi the man to swear to the
j truth of the facts, it seems to be really
true.

Mrs. Malindy Clardy died suddenly at
" the home of her Bon-in-law, Mr. Greenlee
Ellison, in Belton Township, on Friday
night, February 17th. Mrs. Clardy was
. nearly 77 years old, and for fifty years had
been a faithful and zealous member of the
Baptist Church, and when the summons
of death came she was fully prepared to
1 meet it. She was an excellent lady, and
has a wide circle of friends who deeply
regret her death. She leaves three chil?
dren, fifteen grand-children, and tventy
? one great-grand-children to mourn her
' death. Her remains were interred at Big
; Creek Church on the Sunday following
her death.
1 The Anderson-Board of Trade met and
reorganized last Monday night by electing
the following efficers: President, J. M.
Sullivan; Vice President, J. D. Maxwell;
Secretary and Treasurer, A. S. Todd. The
meeting was well attended by our busi?
ness men. Nothing of interest to the gen?
eral public.was transacted, but is the pur?
pose of the'. Board to meet regularly at
stated intervals in the'future, and to look
more closely after the business interests of
the city. The Board adjourned to meet
next Monday night, at which time the
constitution and by-laws of the old Board
will be revised. Every business man in
the city Bkould be present noxt Monday
night. ?
The Firemen's Tournament is an assured
fact. The time for holding it has not yet
been decided upon, but it will occur about
the iattor part of'May or first of June.
The City Council has appropriated ?500
?towards it, and Chief Divver has gone to
work to make the occasion a grand suc?
cess. Our whole people should feel an
interest in this event, and if the money
appropriated by the Council is not suffi?
cient to meet the expenses, an additional
sum should be contributed by'private
subscription. The Tournament will
bring a large crowd of strangers to our
midst, and will give our city a good send
off. Let us all unite our efforts now, and
make the Tournament the equal of any
that has ever been held in the State. We
can do it.
The Anderson Lodge, Knights of Hon?
or, have had quite a number of additions
of late. The fact that the members of
this order pay very little more than actual
death'claims is quite an item in its favor,
while many of the old line insurance com?
panies pay out about as much, and in
some cases more, for expenses of manage?
ment as in death claims. According to a
statement in the Knights of Honor Reporter,
which is said to be compiled from the re?
cords of the New York Insurance Depart?
ment, the Knights of Honor paid out in
' death claims during the year 18SG over
three million dollars at an expense of less
than fifty thousand dollars, while it cost
the New York Life over three millions to
pay out a sum less than that amount, the
Equitable Life over three millions to pay
out a little over five millions, and the Mu?
tual Life about in the same proportion.
This statement shows that a large Bum is
paid by old line insurance companies to
their officers and agents. This is avoided
by the Knights of Honor transacting their
own business through their Lodges, and
paying out but a small proportion of their
receipts in salaries.
? The Palmetto Rifle Company was re?
organized Tuesday night by the election
of T. F. Hill Captain, S. M. Orr 1st Lieu?
tenant, J. M. Patrick 2nd Lieutenant, an
R. C. Cunningham 3rd Lieutenant The
Company organized under very favorable
auspices, and we are satisfied our boys
will acquit themselves with credit to
the Company and the city during the fes?
tivities that are arranged for this season.
They will add their presence and help to
the Firemen's Tournament in this city
during the early Summer, and will be
ready to go into the State Military En?
campment. The Encampment willjindeed
be an enjoyable occasion for them, as the
United States Government furnishes tents,
ifec, and the cost to each individual mem?
ber will be almost nothing. The Compa?
ny will meet again next Tuesday night in
the City Council chamber, and any young
man desiring to join can make applica?
tion at that time. Anderson ought to
have one rousing Company as nothing
adds more to the dignity of a city than a
well equipped military organization. Let
our boys turn out and join and our older
men encourage and help them, and our
ladies smile upon this laudable underta?
king.
Owing to the inclement weather, the
play, "The Turn of tho Tide," which was
to have been rendered last Friday evening
by some of our amateurs, was postponed
until Monday evening, at which time it
came off. The weather was extremely
cold, but despite this fact, the company
was greeted by a large, intelligent and ap?
preciative audience. The evening's pro?
gramme opened with a song by a quar?
tette composed of Messrs. J. G. Cunning?
ham, W. F. Cox, R. M. Baker and E. C.
Fiierson, accompanied on the organ by
Miss Virginia Evans. The song is a very
fine one, and was sung in a most enchant?
ing manner. This was followed by music
from Trowbridge's string band, composed
of Sam and Joe Trowbridge, Ben, Joe and
Frank Hughes. Then came the play, and
from its beginning to its close, tho audi?
ence seemed more than delighted with the
excellent manner in which it was render?
ed, and showed their appreciation by fre?
quent and liberal applause. Our limited
space forbids us mentioning each charac?
ter separately, and were we to attempt it
we fear we could not do some of tiro par?
ticipants justice. The general verdict is
that it was one of the best entertainments
ever gl ven by our amateurs. Much of the
success of the entertainment is due to tho
efforts of Miss Virginia Evans, who man?
aged it throughout, and who makes a suc?
cess of everything she undertakes. By
special request of a number of out citi?
zens, the play will be repeated next Sat?
urday evening. The admission price will
be only 25 cents, which should insures
good house. Reserved seats without ex?
tra charge. Secure your tickets at Orr &
Sloan's.

'iho Court ?f Sessions.
Promptly nl 10 o'clock hist Monday
morning tho Court ol* General Sossions
for Anderson County was opened, with
Judge Joseph J. Norton, Solicitor Orr,
and Stenographer Aiken aii at their posts
of duty.
The Grand Jurors were called and all
responded to their names except ono, Wm.
McGukin, who is in Alabama. Capt. P.
K. McCully was appointed Foreman.
The Judge delivered the following very
able, comprehensive and appropriate
charge:
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury :
Impressed as I am with the great im?
portance- to the country of a strict, un?
prejudiced, impartial and dispassionate
enforcement of the law, and believing you
to bo us your board of Jury Commission?
ers, by your selection certify, men of good
moral character and sound judgment,
and free iron) all legal exception, I have
Uiken some pains to collect information
which will help you to discharge your
duties satisfactorily to yourselves, and to
your fellow citizens of this county, whom
"for this year, and until anotber grand
jury shall have been empanelled, you are
to represent in ferreting out and bringing
criminals to justice.
You do this indirectly and directly.
Indirectly by having your Trial Justices
to do their duty promptly, fairly and
foarlessly. Directly by presenting offen?
ders who through domineering or chica?
nery escape the ordinary methods of
prosecution, or whoso crimes being chiefly
against the general public, no individual
cares to prefer charges. Prominent
among the last class are violations of the
laws against retailing intoxicating liquors
without a license, carrying concealed
weapons, adultery and the intermarriage
of different races.
I do not mean tluit you must present
every oflence of which you happen to
learn, but you must exercise your sound
judgment and do that which will most
tend to the executiou of the law, I have
heard from the Bench that the grand jury
might ignore bills handed out to them,
though clearly proven, if such bills were
found to present merely technical viola?
tions of law, or tended to promote strife
in the community. I have known such
suggestions acted upon with apparent
benefit to society, but I caution you not
to act upon such an idea, without the
further qualification that you do not
ignore any bill, nor fail to present any
offender, because you think any law tech?
nical, or trivial, or unwise, or likely to
promote discord or even immorality in
the community, but only because your
sound judgment, uninfluenced by malice,
fear or favoritism, dictates to you, that its
exercise in the particular case in hand,
will best promote the enforcement of law,
both in its spirit and in its letter.
By our Constitution the people surren?
dered their natural right to govern them?
selves, each according to his own will,
and agreed not to avenge themselves for
injuries received from others. That leg?
islators should be elected to enact laws,
that judges, juries and executive officers
should be chosen to enforce these laws;
that no laws contrary to those should be
enacted and no punishments otherwise
inflicted than those thus prescribed, lie
who dissuades from the enforcement of
the least important of the rules of the
court, as well as he who murders by
lynching one supposed to be guilty of
crime, violates this compact is an anarchist
If any law, small or great, fairly enforced
prove obnoxious, the people through the
proper channel will see to its repoal. If
we fail to enforce the law, instead of pros?
perity, peace and order, disaster, tumult
and anarchy will prevail. The strong
will oppress the weak, the crafty will
circumvent the honest, the mob will
override the quiet, good citizen.
"Where two races dwell in the same ter?
ritory race prejudice always exists. One
circle it never should enter?it is here.
No! let every citizen stand equal before
the law. In our Courts let his life, his lib?
erty and his property depend alone upon
the* justice of his cause. Tf the dominant
race.be wise it willjreat the other with
justice and equity.
You have also a preventive duty to per?
form in looking after the conduct of your
public officers. There are over one hun?
dred in your county. Thoy ought to be
honest, capable, sober and" attentive.
Whenever guilty of official misconduct,
habitual negligeuce, habitual drunken?
ness, corruption, fraud or oppression,
they are liable to indictment, punishment
and removal from office.
Your County Commissioners, School
Commissioner and Treasurer are respect?
ively required to report to the presiding
Judge, at the first term of the Court of
General Sessions in each year, and the
Judge must submit such reports to you
for your examination. If you find dis?
crepancies or irregularities therein, or any
embezzlements of, or extravagancies in
the expenditure of public funds, you are
to present them to the Court, that such
orders may be taken as shall meet the
ends of justice. Tho two former of these
reports are not now required to be pub?
lished in your county newspapers, and
while your duty to examine them is not
new, it has assumed a new importance.
See Section 623, General Statutes, note, and
page 657 of the Acts of 18-36.
The County Commissioners are also re?
quired to report yearly examinations of
railroad crossings of public roads.
The Public Guardian is required to re?
port on estates in his hands at the first
term of the Court of Common Pleas in
each year.
The Master is required to make a sim?
ilar report to the Court at its fall terra in
every year.
Tho Clerk is to report all moneys re?
maining in his hands under orders of the
Court, stating on account of what causes,
<Sc., at every -term of the Court. He is
also to report monthly to the Auditor and
Treasurer all moneys collected on account
of licenses, fines, penalties and forfeitures.
The Sheriff and Trial Justices are also
to make reports similar to the last men?
tioned. Those of Trial Justic.es are re?
quired to be read in open Court at ever}
ill term.
The Clerk should file all of these re?
ports, except his and theSheriff's, on fines,
&c, in his office for the inspection of all
persons interested. An examination of all
these reports would aid you in testing
your officora.
You ought to oxamine into the condi?
tion of all your public offices. The Solic?
itor's report to the last fall term on the
condition of the Clerk's, Sheriff's and
Register of Mesne Conveyance's offices
may aid you. Or, as he must examine
these at some time during the year, lie
may be pleased to meet a committee of
your body and jointly perform that duty
at some time convenient to both parties.
You have a general idea of the duties of
your several officers and can readily ob?
tain from the Solicitor or Clerk more
definite information whenever a special
complaint is made to you of one of them.
The poor, who are sick, or infirm, or
aged, or in helpless infancy, demand your
earnest attention. No others ought to be
a charge upon the county. Able bodied
yagrants ought not to eat unless they.
work. Clean and comfortable clothing
aud bedding, and such delicacies and
medical attention as their feeble conditions
respectively urge, ought to be furnished
to the really poor.
Are your public roads, bridges and fer?
ries in as good condition as the resourcos
of the county will allow? Good roads
not only add to the safety and convenience
of a community, but are also an index to
its civilization and promote its wealth.
On the other band, gentlemen, you will
be anxiously looked to, by the innocent,
especially if poor or timid, to shield them
from the expense and notoriety of public
trial. ? A primu facie case should be made
out in every case before you find a true
bill.
Twelve of your number must agree that
apriiiui facie case has been made out be?
fore you find a true bill. If less than that
number agree thereto you must find "no
bill."
A lot of bills wero then handed the
Grand Jury, and they retired to their
room aud began work.
The Petit Jurors were then called and
all responded except two, who woro sick,
and only one asked to be excused of those
present.
The Grand Jury soon returned with a
true bill in case of State vs. Augustus
Moore, white, charged with disturbing re?
ligions worship at Corinth Church, in the
upper part of this County. To this charge
Moore entered a plea of guilty.
The case of Stato against John J. Tucker;
for selling whiskey without license was
the first case in which a plea of not guilty
was entered. The case was given to tho
jury before dinner Monday, and after be?
ing out for several hours, they returned a
verdict of guilty.
John Simmons, charged with larceny
from the house, was found guilty.
Jeff. Clayborn, charged with compound
larceny, pleaded guilty.
In the case of Balis Jones (colored), for
burglary aud larceny, the defendant plead?
ed guilty.
The caso of Stato vs. Jubo Stuart, W.
R. Ansel Garrett and Robert J. Cater,
three white citizens of Pickcns County,
charged with grand larceny, was contin?
ued to tho next term of the Court, on mo
fcion of J. E. Hoggs, dulbiuhuili' attorney.
Lester Burton, colored, pleaded guilty
to the charge of assault und battery v ifi
intrnt to ravish.
The grand jury returned no bill in tho
case against John O'Donnoll for selling
spirituous liquors to Dudloy Rood, and a
true bill in the caso for soiling to Lank
Scott.
Milton Wilson pleaded guilt}- to the
charge of a high and aggravated assault
and battery, and was sentenced to hard
labor in tbo Penitentiary for three months,
or to pay a fine of ?30 00. He paid the
fine.
In case of Lucian A. Abbercrombie, tho
Grand Jury returned a true bill, and upon
trial ho was found guilty of burglary and
larceny, the charge made against him.
John M. Robinson, white, was convict?
ed of carrying concealed weapons, and of
a high and aggravated assault.
Tho case against John R. Branyan, for
assault and battery with intent to kill and
of a high and aggravated nature, was nol
prosscd by the Solicitor.
In,tho caso of the Stato vs. Van Day,
white, for grand larceny, a truo bill was
found, and upon the trial the jury ren?
dered a verdict of not guilty.
The grand jury returned no bill in the
caso against John O'Doonell for selling
liquor to Pickens Warnock without a
license; also in tbo caso of tho sale to
Floyd Watson ; also in tho caso of the
sale to J. II. Jones.
In caso of State vs. Ja3.1!. Burriss, for
obtaining goods by false pretenses, no bill
was found by the Grand Ju..
Benj. Starks, charged with assault and
battery of a high and aggravated nature,
and carrying concealed woapons, was
acquitted on the former and convictod on
the latter charge, and sentenced to three
months in penitentiary or to pay a fine of
$30.00.
In case of State vs. Horace Johnson,
col., charged with burglary and larceny,
the verdict was guilty of larceny.
As we go to press the Court is engaged
in trying tho case against Richard S.
Brown, white, for r?sault and battery of
a high and aggravated nature on a eolared
woman.
It is thought the criminal docket will bo
disposed of this, (Thursday) evening, or
Friday morning.
Mr. R. S. Brown was ruled for failing to
answer to his name as a juror when
called. He answered that he did not
think he would be needed, and had con?
sequently slopped out. The Judge said
that was not sufficient, and instructed the
Clerk to forfeit his pay for tho day. This
is business, and will aid in the dispatch of
the trials. The jurors and witnessos are
summoned to be before the Court and not
in the City of Anderson.
The members of the Bar, the Jurors,
tho officers of the Court, and the other
attendants, aro all favorably impressed
with Judge Norton as a presiding officer.
He presides with dignity and ability, and
commands tho respect of every one.
The Court of Common Pleas will not
open before Friday.

Considerable quantities of rain have
fallen lately, and in consequence very
little plowing has been|done the past week.

very little damage has been done in the
way of washing lands, &c.
, Mr. J. A. Daniels keeps enlarging his
vi neyard. He now has over two thousand
vines In his .vineyard, having set out over
six hundred this season. Doubtless his
is the largest vineyard in the County, and
still he proposes to add more next season.
As fur as known, th? most successful
rabbit hunt of the season came off near
here last Wednesday. Only twenty-three
were started, and of that number twenty

sevon English Beagles, four of which were
under eight months old.
We regret to announce that Mr. W. E.
Eskew has been quite sick for several
days, and is still confined to his room.
Mrs. Sarah A. Major also has been quite
sick for some time past.
Mr. J. H. Cooper has treated himself to
a new buggy. Doubtless he anticipates a
pleasant time buggy-riding with his "best

There aro some people, especially the
good women of our country, who cannot
be prevented from doing good. When a
woman wills she wills, and when she
won't she won't. The Trustees of our
Township ordered the public schools to
close on tho 29th of February, but such
an order as that only inspired some of
Broadaway's accomplished Teachers with
greater energy, and on last Saturday after?
noon Miss Allie K. Major rode around in
person through the community in which
she has been teaching for several years, and
in a few hours she had a school mude up
which will pay her over twenty dullars per
month. We admire and commend such
an example of a determined will in doing
a work so much needed as that of educa?
tion. It also gives a full and hearty ex?
pression and appreciation of Miss Allie as
a teacher by her patrons.
Miss Tallie Keown, also, another one of
Broadaway's accomplished and popular
teachers, was moved by the same spirit,
and has a subscribed school made up in
the immediate neighborhood of her father's,
where she has taught several schools, to
the satisfaction of her patrons. She taught
a public school at Xoal's Creek this Winter,
in which she did good work, and won the
hearts of both her pupils and patrons. It
it were not for the labor of all such noble
women, where would the education of the
children of our County be.
The school at High Shoals, under Miss
Lizzie Anderson will continue. Her pub?
lic school fund is only a supplement to her
salary.
What Eureka will do is yet undecided.
Miss Zolla Campbell is at work trying to
make up a subscribed school, and as it is
not common for a woman'to fail, we feel
that she will succeed. We do verity -be
lieye if we would pay for the education of
our cliil.iiou \vu would appreciate it more'
and appreciate our teachers more.
Mr. W. A. Geer will replenish his lish
pond in a few days with about 250 carp.
Mr. Gecr will give the Eureka .Sunday
School a lish festival about the first of May.
Mr. W. j. Itobbins has a great many
convenience:; nbout his farm ; for instance,
he has ;i fine young steer which is well
broke 10 the plow, wagon or buggy. *
\ Farmer Needed.
Euitoiis Intelligencer: The State
Grange at its last session passed a resolu?
tion authorizing the appointment of Dep?
uty Lecturers in the various Counties of the
State to revive the old Granges, and or?
ganize now ones, all of which we think
was very well, but we farmers claim the
Grange to be a farmer's organization, and
can't see why two lawyers, and one of
them a politician also, was appointed Dep?
uty Lecturer.
"Was there not a single farmer in Ander?
son County who had the brains and busi?
ness tact to do the work. If not, we are in
a deplorable condition, and had better try
and get one to come and settle in our
midst, for I am pretty certain if the Grange
has to depend upon the "other" profes?
sions for brains, &c, it had as well remain
in its present condition. We have no fight
to make against Messrs. Murray and Brea
zealc, for we are salisfied they had nothing
to do with their appointment, but feel like
Anderson County did not have a farmer
representative in the State Grange at its
recent session.
Whoever heard of the lawyers, doctors,
or any of the other professions, appointing
a farmer to organize them? We farmers
had as well learn it, if we have not, that
we have our own battles to fight, and go
to work and fight them, or else put our
noses on the grinding stone of the politi?
cians and professions, and tell them to
grind us down to suit themselves.

Every man should save his
own Garden Seeds, but will
not, and therefore should be
very careful about where and
what kind he buys. All of our
old slock was carefully burned
before the no iv came in, and we
have nothing but new seeds, of
Ibis we give you any kind of
guarantee you want. We do
this partly as an advertise?
ment, partly as a joko on the
rats and mice, but prine*Tally
as a protection to ourselves
and our customers, and for the
satisfaction of looking a man
square in the face and saying
without batting your eyes,
"these are fresh Seed." T'is a
luxury denied the multitude.
We keep also Grass and Field
Seeds of all kinds, in fact we
have made this a kind of spe?
cialty, and will bo glad to give
all the information we can to
parties desiring to embark in
that industry, whether they
buy from us or not.
Wo don't expect to sell
everybody, and never fall out
with a man because he do?s
not trade with us, but if the
Druggist from whom you usu?
ally buy happens to be out of
an article, we shall bo g!ad to '
szc you at our place, and will
try and do you right.
