' Next Wednesday, 14th inst., will be Booth Carolina Dsy at the Sub-Tropical Exposition at Jacksonville, Fla. The P. ; B. & W. C. R. R., are now ^selling round trip tickets to Jacksonville, good for twenty days, for $14.45.

Call early and secure a package before they are all gone. ?The Turn of the Tide," in accordance with the announcement, was re produced m the Masonic Hall last Saturday night, and the company was greeted by a very appreciative audience. The company, of | course, sustained its reputation, and every : oho -present was highly pleased with the entertainment. . Judge Norton attended the prayer meet? ing of the Y. M. C. A. in Temperance Hall last Sunday afternoon, and, being called upon, responded in a few appro? priate remarks, in which' he gave the young men some excellent advice. The members of the Association appreciated -his visit and his encouraging remarks very much. Judgp Norton is a model Christian gentleman, and is an honor to : South Carolina's judiciary. We only wish wehad more Buch men in all the de* | ? partmenis of our government. The firm, of Hill & Adams has dissolv; el, the latter gentleman retiring. The business,will be continued at the old stand by Mr, Hill. Mr. Adams has moved to Seneca, where be will engage in the mercantile business. We regret to lose Mr. Adams and bis estimable wife from Anderson. Our young friend, W. E. Campbell, of Beiton, who has been attending the Med? ical Department of the University of the city of New York during the past few months, kindly sent us an lnvatlon to at? tend the 47th annual commencement ex? ercises of that department, which took i place last Tuesday. I County Commissioner Norris brought back with him from Texas a genuine I "mule-eared rabbit," wbieb he has stuffed and placed on exhibition at Simpson, Reit* & Co.'s drag store. It is very much like our rabbits, but is larger, and it is said ' that it is almost" impossible for a dog to catch one on a race. Mr. J. W. Trowbridge Is arranging- to run an excursion for the .benefit of the young America Cornet Band to Charleston during the Floral Fair in that eity next month. The excursion will go via Augus ? ta and over the Port Koyal Railroad. The fare for the round trip will be very low. Farther particulars will be given later on. Gen. Del. Kemper has consented to de? liver several lectures in the department of physics on "Bottled Sunshine," "Nitro Glycerine," "The Spectroscope," "Electric Light," &c. The first lecture will be de? livered on Friday night ;of next week in the Lecture Room of the Presbyterian Church. Bills will be distributed before hand. Simpson, Held & Co. have accepted the agency for Ottonberg's Havana cigars, which they are retailing at 5 cents each These cigars are strictly long Havana filler, and are undoubtedly one of the best cigars ever brought to this city. We have sampled them, and know whereof we speak. Try Jthem and you will-agree ^ with us. : Senator Murray deliyered the annual address before the students of the South Carolina College at Charleston lastSatur day night. His subject was, "The impor? tance of the proper investigation of law." He was greeted by a large and enthusiastic audience, and. the Charleston- papers speak in very complimentary terms of the address. Last Friday morning Prof. W. J. Ligon received a slight stroke of paralysis In the right side, and since then he has been con? fined to bis-home.' On Wednesday morn-1 ing it was thought there was a change for the better in this condition. His many j friends hope that he will Boon recover and be able to resume his duties in the schoolroom. Odr good friend D. A. Zeagler, Esq., of Denver, Col., has sent us a copy of the Journal of Commerce,' a publication which is devoted to the business interests of that city. It is a neat and attractive journal, J -and is handsomely illustrated with a number of the prominent buildings and I streets of Denver, and also contains llius- j t ra tions of the scenery of the surrounding J country.

I Perry, Mrs. William Perry, Isham Sadler, Miss Addie Williams, Enoch Wright. ' The Hartwell Sun, of last week, says : I "Mr. Tom'Hollandjwas over from .Caroli- j na Tuesday. Speaking of the live bat that bad been discovered in the heart of a tree over there, he said, that some years ago j while sawing a huge log at a saw mill he noticed a small hollow in the heart of the log in which was imbedded a live frog. How long it had been in there or how it managed to survive thus hermetically sealed, is a mystery that Tom does not j pretend to solve." Rev. Lucius Cnthbert, of Aiken, S. C, has accepted an invitation extended him I to preach the Commencement sermon at Patrick's Military Institute in Jane. He is a man of rare ability, and one who will j certainly interest those who hear him, and we bespeak for him a large and an appre- [ ciative audience. Capt, Patrick has, in j oar jadgment, done well in selecting Revs. Cuthbert and Capers as the ] preacher and speaker for the Commence* j moht. * j The City Council, Or the Street Commit tee, seem to be neglecting those who ] live.down on South Main Street. The sidewalk in front of the residence of 0. I Wardlaw, Esq., is almost impassable, and has been so for a month or so. Also, I in this same vicinity there is not a cistern, and should fire break out, the fire compa nies would be of no benefit, as they could not get to water. There is no difference in the taxes paid by those living in this locality, and those who have sidewalks well-worked, and cisterns conveniently j arranged. Ought this to be so ? I i ? The members of the Parsonage Work ing Society, composed of the ladies of the Methodist Church of this city, met at the Parsonage on Wednesday evening of last week and indulged in a tea, which was a most pleasant occasion. During their feast they kindly thought of the poor newspaper man, and sent us a waiter of delicacies and substantial?, which were devoured with considerable relish. Oh, what a blessing to have the noble women as your friends! Such treats are always Jn' order, and the ladies will accept our j nest thanks for their kind remembrance. Chief Divver has received a letter from J Capt. Pat. Meehan, of the Phoenix Hook and Ladder Company of Columbia, S/C, in which he says his team would be on hand at our Tournament in June. Capt. Meehan commands the champion Hook and Ladder Team of the South. Notifi? cations have also been received from companies in Charleston, Salisbury and other places of their intention to be with our boys in June. Onr people are all united in this undertaking, and are work? ing to make Anderson's Gala Week a big success. ? The Abbeville Press and Banner, of last week, says: "Mrs. Mary A. Price, wife of B. F. Price, died at her residence Satur? day, the 18th February, in the 3Sth year of her age. Her death is a sore bereave? ment, as she leaves a disconsolate husband and six children, the youngest being ouly ten days old. She was a consistent mem? ber of the Presbyterian Church, and died as she bad lived in the faith. Mr.?. Price moved into this County from Anderson County about one year ago, and had made many warm friends among us." Mrs! Price's friends in this County will read this announcement with sorrow. Sheriff Bolt is very much annoyed with applications to be present at the execution of Jasper Davis. And people seem to think it is in bis power to allow just any One to witness the execution. Such is not the law. He has bis hands tied in the matter by our statutes, which read as fol? lows : "No one shall be allowed to be present at such execution except the Sheriff of the County, or bis deputy, and his assistants, the clergy, the State Solici? tor, the Attorney or Attorneys who de? fended the convict, the family of the con? vict, and not more than ten discreet per? sons to be named by the Sheriff, which said ten persons shall be summoned by the Sheriff and be required tobe present," ?See Section 2,709, G S. Maj. J. M. Thompson and wife (nee Miss Dilla Keys), of Birmingham, Ala., spent a few days in tbo city during the pa9t week on their way homo from Washing? ton, D, C. Their visit to the city was a source of much pleasure to many friends. Maj. Thompson says Birmingham is still increasing in wealth and population. Maj. and Mrs. Thompson spent some time in Washington, and during their stay they were the recipents of many courtesies from Congressman Cothran, of whom they ?peak in the highest terms. They say our Congressman is very popu? lar at the Capitol, and that he is destined to become one of the most useful and in? fluential members of Congress. One night last week Mr. Marion E. Pru it, of Martin Township, had a mule stolen. He tracked it in the direction of Green? ville for several miles, but losing trail, came to Anderson and telegraphed the police of Greenville, giving a description of the mule and asking them to be on the lookout. Later in the week a telegram was received announcing that the mule and thief were in limbo in Greenville. A warrant was sworn out and a constable sent over for them. They were brought back Friday, and the thief answered to the name of Wm. Cunningham. He is a negro boy about twenty years old. He was committed to jail to await preliminary trial on Friday. Capt. W. 0. McGowan, of Abbeville, has been spending the past week in Anderson attending Court and becoming acquainted with our people. Capt. McGowan is in the field as a candidate for Solicitor. He is a son of Hon. Samuel McGowan, and is truly "a chip off of the old block." He is ? young man of fine address, is one of the most prominent young members of the Abbeville Bar, and is destined to be? come one of the most popular and influ? ential citizens of his grand old County. By-his genial disposition and pleasant manners he made a host of friends in An? derson. We feel safe in saying that should he be elected to the office of Solic? itor, the State will have a zealous and effi? cient officer. A very sad and fatal accident happened one mile south of Starr, on the Savannah Valley Railroad last Tuesday morning, which resulted in the death of Mr. Scott Young, sbn of Mr. D, M. Young, of this County, Mr. Young was about 33 years 1 or age, and was very deaf. On Tuesday morning he was on his way to Starr, " walking the side of the railroad track, when the north bound train from McCor mick came in. sight. Mr. Young did not notice the approaching train, and the en? gineer thought, of course, that he would get out of the way before the train reached him. The train moved on rapidly, and in a few seconds was nearly up to the man, but still he did not get out of the way. The engineer blew his whistle, but the man continued walking along the track. The engineer again blew his whistle, the brakes were applied and the engine reversed, but it was too late. The poor man hal been struck by the engine, and knocked between twenty and thirty feet from the track, breaking his back and bruising his body in several places. He lived only a short time. Coroner Nance was immediately notified and went down and held an inquest Tuesday afternoon. The verdict of the jury was in accordance with the above facts. No blame is attached to the railroad. Capt Arthur F. Murphy, of Marietta, Ga? Deputy Grand Master of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, is spending a few. days in Anderson. Capt. Murphy is traveling through the State in the interest of this Order, having been sent out by the Grand Lodge of Georgia, and is desirous of instituting a Lodge in our midst. This Order is similar to the Knights of Honor, though it is said to be the oldest, largest and strongest of all the Orders that pay a death benefit. The principles and teach? ings of the Order are in keeping with the highest grades of morality, and it em? braces all the practical and essential pur? poses of life insurance at the lowest possi? ble cost consistent with absolute seourity and perpetuity. It has, we. believe, sev? eral superior features over similar .'organ? izations, one of which is that its members are guaranteed that their assessments shall1 not exceed twenty-four (which is equal to $24.00) a year, and. another is that when a Grand Lodge secures two thousand or more members, it manages its own benefit fund. Capt. Murphy is an enthu? siastic worker, and is meeting with suc? cess wherever he goes. He has secured the names of a number of our citizens and Is in a fair way to establish a flourishing Lodge in Anderson. Court. As we went to press last week, the case of the State vs. Richard S, Brown, was being tried. The verdict of the Jury was, not guilty. i Several bills had been given to the Jrand Jury against John O'Donnell for selling liquor without license, four were returned as true bills, and five had no bill written on them. 'It was expected that two days or Dear it would be consumed in the trial of these cases, which stood for trial, but owing to the sickness of Mrs. O'Donnell and her children, one of which has since died, these cases were contin? ued, and the docket thus closed for the term much sooner than was expected. The prisoners convicted at this torm, and Andrew Tally, convicted at the last term and a sealed sentence left, be being absent, and Jasper Davis, whose appeal to Supreme Court bad been decided against him, were brjught into Court, and the following sentences pronounced against them: Andrew Tally, petit larceny, ninety days in jail at hard labor under tbo di? rection of the County Commissioners. JobnJ. Tucker, selling whisky with? out license, six months in the peniten? tiary or $100. He paid the fine. Balis Jones, for burglary and larceny, one year in the penitentiary. Augustus Moore, for disturbing relig? ious worship, three months in the peni? tentiary or $75. Jeff Clayborn, for compound larceny, one year in the penitentiary. Lester Burton, a colored boy, for as? sault and battery with intent to ravish, ten years in the peniteutiary. Just before passing sentence in this case Judse Nor? ton said : "I have long thought aud foil that Anderson County was the garden spot of the world, and the fact that you are allowed to be brought here and tried for such an offense agaiu&t a respectable j white lady, instead of being lynched, j confirms me in that belief." John M. Robinson, for assault und but? tery with intent to kill and carrying con cealed weapons, four months in peniteu? tiary or $100 on the first, and one month in penitentiary or $5.00 on the second. L. A. Abercrombie, a young white man, for compound larceny, one year in the penitentiary. Horace Johnson, for petit larceny, 30 days iu jail. ? ? The last was Jasper Davis, who was convicted of the murder of his wile and sentenced, but appealed to the Supreme Court, by which the judgment was con? firmed and the case remanded for the court to fix another day for execution. Immediately after he eutered tbo court room he buried his face in his hands, looking up only once or twice until re? quired to stand up. He complolely broke down, and when asked if be had any? thing further to say why judgment should not be executed he shook his head in a very sad way, and moved his lips, but his voice failed him. It was indeed a sad sight to see his deep distress and its maui fostation. The 23rd day of March, 1888, between the hours of 10 o'clock a. m. and 3 o'clock p. m. was fixed for tbo time of the execution of the sentence: Sheriff Bolt has a sad, sad duty to perform in the execution of this sentence. Davis sajs the imago of his dead wife is ever before his eyes. J One-of the most important dec?ious of the Court of Common Pleas lav-t week, was in the caso of Laboon vs. O'Neal, in which Judge Nortou held that a mortgage of personal property by a married woman, to secure a debt not for the benefit of her separate estate was void, or rather voida? ble, but that she might be bound by what her husband did, as her agent, provided the agency was established ; and that any goods purchased by her husband for her and used for tbo benefit of her separate estate, she must pay for. Another case of importance was the case of Ferguson vs. Pruitt, to recover damages caused to cotton by fire from Pruitt's gin. Mr. Pruitt had a travelling gin, and in bis round ginned Mr. Fergu? son's cotton. After putting up the gin and locating the engine, the wind began to blow in a direction that carried the sparks from tbo engine directly toward the gin and cotton. The smoke stack had no spark arrester. It was a damp day. The sparks wore seen to light on the cotton and set it on fire. However, the ginning was kept up till the crop was finished. During the night following the cotton was discovered on fire. Ferguson lost ?100 or more in consequence, for which be sued Pruitt, alleging that it was burned by his negligence. Judge Norton charged the Jury that Mr. Pruitt was bound to use ordinary care, and if through his want of ordinary care either in loca? ting his machinery properly, or in not using the most improved machinery, or in any other way, he would be liable for whatever damages that might result from that negligence. The verdict of the jury was for something over ninety dollars for plaintiff. The Court of Sessions was suspended last Thursday morning to be re-opened when his Honor should be ready to render his decision in the case of the City Council vs. John O'Donnell, which he re? served for the time. The petit jurors were discharged last Friday afternoon, all tbo business ready for them having been disposed of. The case of John M. Watson vs. C. W. Young et al, to set aside a deed, was de? cided in favor of the plaintiff. All this week has been consumed in trying Equity cases. It is thought that Court will ad? journ to-day. Denver Items.

Morgan, merchant, Lake City, Fla., was taken with a severe Cold, attended with a distressing Cough and run? ning into Consumption in its first stages. He tried many so-called popular cough remedies and steadily grew worse. Was reduced in flesh, had difficulty in breath? ing, and was unable to sleep. Finally tried Dr. King's New Discovery for Con? sumption and found immediate relief, and after using about a half dozen bottles found himself well and has had no return of the disease.
