Richardson to commute Davis's sentence to life imprisonment in the penitentiary, on the ground that he is not a sane man. Mr. Prince conferred with the Governor, who respited the [ prisoner until the 27th of April. We pre I some he did this in order to give him I more time to investigate the matter.' Miss Annie Cannon, eldest daughter of Dr. I. Cannon, of Williamston Township, died last Thursday. She had beeu in feeble health for several months, but her death was a surprise to her friends and family, as it was not thought her end was so near. . Miss Cannon ,as about 21 years of age, and was a most amiable young lady. Until recently she was a student of the Due West Female College, but was forced to leave that institution on account of her ill-health. Her remains were interred at Lebanon Church, in Greenville County. Miss Lizzie Williams, the popular pro? prietress of tbe Ladies' Store, has returned from New York, where she spent several weeks selecting her stock of Spring and Summer goods. She has purchased a very large stock, and at very low prices, conse? quently she has bargains for every person who will favor her with a call. Miss Liz? zie always displays superior judgment and taste in selecting her goods, and keeps thoroughly posted in all the latest styles. Our lady friends would do well to give her an early call, see her goods and hear something of all the latest styles. Look out for her new advertisement next week.

They keep samples of piece goods on band, and will make a suit to order on short notice. See advertisement. Easter falls on tbe first of April this year. The earliest possible day for Easter is on the 22d of Maroh, and it fell on that date in 1818, for tbe last time in two hun? dred years. One object in arranging the calendar moon was that Easter might never fall on the same* day as tbe Jewish Passover. They did occur together, how? ever, in 1805, on the 4th of April; in 1825, on the 3d of that month, and will do so again in 1923.on the 1st of April, in 1927 on the 17th, and in 1981 on the 18th of the same month. On last year Easter and the Passover were separated by but a single night. The Jewish festival occurs in Passover week in Lent, and never before the 29th of March or after tbe 25th of April. On tbe other hand, tbe Christian festival is never before the 22d of March or after the 25th April. Last Tuesday night our city and vicinity was visited by a severe storm. It began about 2 o'clock and continued for some time. The chapel of the Military Insti? tute was unroofed by tbe wind, and con? siderable damage was done to fences in the city. . The most damage so far heard of was at the farms of Messrs. Hobt. T. Chamblee, J. Mat. Cbamblee and J. B. Skelton, about six miles west of tbe city. At these places the out-houses were blown down or unroofed, chimneys untopped, the fences scattered and timber blown up by the roots. The storm traveled from southwest toward northeast. Tbe light? ning was almost incessant. One flash would hardly die away before another would appear. There was considerable unrest among our citizens While tbe storm raged, and cyclone pits were in demand. It was our privilege and pleasure to worship with tbe congregation of the Bolton Baptist Church last Sunday. Rev. A. A. Marshall, who had exchanged pulpits with Dr. Manly, the pastor, preached a most eloquent and interesting sermon, and fairly captivated the good people of Bel ton. After the sermon, Mr.. Marshall announced that tbe day had been set apart for contributing to the en? dowment fund of Furman University, and in a few minutes over two hundred dollars had been subscribed. This was indeed a very liberal subscription for tbe church, and we doubt if there is a congre? gation of the same size in the State that will equal it. Bnt tbe Belton people never do anything by halves, and when it comes to doing a noble act, they are always in the front line. This congrega? tion intend building a new church this year, and they will erect a building that will be an ornament to their village and an honor to themselves. The Athens (GA) Banner- Watchman, of a recent date, in speaking of the Athens Fire Department, says: "No. 5 will put themselves in framing to contest for the championship at Anderson, S. C. Chief Mason has received an invitation for tbe Fire Department of Athens to visit An? derson, S. C, on the 12th, 13th and 14th of June, to take part in their Tournament. No. 5, who now owns the champion belt, will accept the invitation and go over to South Carolina and show tbe Palmetto boys wbat the Georgia boys can, do. A large number of firemen from Athens will accompany No. 5, and a glorious time is expected. Let tbe Carolinians look out for a clever set of boys, and tbe fastest on record. No. 5 is composed of tbe best young men of the city, and all are perfect gentlemen." We will give the ? Athens boys a genuine old Carolina welcome, and will assure them that our boys will do their best to make their visit a pleasant one. Hopewell Township has lost one of its best, oldest and most respectable citizens in the death of Mr. William R. Duck? worth, who died last Friday morning very suddenly from something like apoplexy. He ate his breakfast as well as usual, and while fixing his ploughs to go to work was taken with a severe pain in his bead. He went in tbe house and sat down. The pain increased and was accompanied with nausea. While in this condition he gave his son William a $5.00 gold piece, with the request to keep it in remembrance of bim. He also gave one of bis mules to this son, to which be called witnesses. As this was about concluded, he threw him? self back in his chair and showed great suffering for the time. He was placed on the bed and expired in a few moments. He was about 65 years old. For many years prior to his death he bad been a con? sistent member of tho Hopewell Baptist Church. Mr. Duckworth was a quiet, un? pretending, honorable, upright and worthy citizen. He leaves a large family, who have our sympathies in their sore be? reavement. Mrs. M. Lou Keys, after a painful illness of about three weeks, depaited this life at her home in tbis city last Friday morning, at 8 o'clock. Mrs. Keys was the relict of the late Peter A. Keys, who was killed in a collision on the Air Line Railroad sev? eral years ago, and a daughter of the late Jas. Allen, of Lowndcsville. Her death was a great shock to many friends. It was generally known that she was sick, but it was not thought that her illness would prove serious until a few days be? fore her death. Her disease was of a complicated form, and she passed away without a struggle. Mrs. Koys was about 42 years of age, and was a most excellent lady. For a number of years she was a faithful and devoted member of the Bap? tist Church, and was highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, who will long cherish her memory. She leaves behind ber an only daughter, to whom the sympathies of our entire peo? ple are extended in ber sore bereavement. On Saturday afternoon, after Impressivo funeral services being conducted by Eev. A. A. Marshall, tbe remains were laid to > rest in tbe Baptist cemetery. It is our sad duty to announce this week the death of one of our oldest and most highly esteemed citizens.! Mr. John Bay lis Clark died on last Thursday morning in the Goth year of his age. Mr. Claik was born in Greenville County in 1S24. When quite young, his parents moved to Anderson, where he resided until his death. About eighteen months ago a linger on his left hand was amputated, since which time he continued quite feeble until December last, when he was confined to his room. As a citizen he was upright, amiable and trusted; as a Mason he was devoted to the tenets of the Order, and exemplified in the highest degree, by his life, its teachings and objects, and has served his Lodge in its highest and most important positions, and was universally regarded with the highest esteem and as the best exemplar of Mason? ry in the Lodge; as a Chi itian his life was distinguished for meekness, faith and hope. He was for about forty years a dea? con of the Baptist Church, of which for forty-eight years he wa3 a devoted and ex? emplary member. In the death of Mr. Clark the community has lost one of its best citizens, and the Church one of its most consecrated members. The funeral services were had in the Baptist Church, conducted by Rev. A. A. Marshall, assisted by Rev. J. S. Murray and Dr. Frierson, after which the Masonic fraternity, with their usual impressive ceremonie3, deposit? ed his remains in the Baptist cemetery. The large and deeply solemn audieL-j at? tending these exercises but attest the es? teem in which he was held by those who knew and loved him. Mr. Clarke left sur? viving him a wife and nine children, who have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement. A True Statement of the Shooting Affray at Plercetown. {j Editors Intelligencer : I notice in your last issue an account of the shooting aflray which occurred on my place the 6th inst., and I must say tb*t your infor? mant, whoever he was, is mistaken as to how the difficulty occurred and how it ended. I had promised some parties at Willlamston, if they would come to Piercetown, that I would go bird hunting with thorn, which they did on the evening of the 5th. I was compelled to be at Willlamston on the 6th. I told Mr. Kel? ly, who is my foreman, that be could hunt with the parties, and that I would get' back from Williamston by 2 or 3 o'clock, if I could. Mr. Kelly, that morning be? fore he started hunting, ordered the hands to go to plowing, and to keep the plows moving, and to never mind stopping to pile the logs, as he would pile them him? self. On my way from Williamston I met the bunting parties at Capt. A. M. Guyton's. 1 told Mr. Kelly to take my horse and buggy borne, and to get my pistol at the store and clean it up, as it would not revolve, and I would hunt the balance of the evening. Mr. Kelly went home, as I told him, and found the horses standing in the stables and the hands in the field piling logs. Mr. Kelly went to the field and told the hands to come on to the house and go to plowing. Austin said to Mr. Kelly, after tbey had got to the house, to tell Mr. Williams if he was not going to let him have a pair of boots, which he had asked for on Saturday, to send him the money and he would get them somewhere else. Mr. Kelly then went downyto the store to carry some let? ters that I gave him and to get my pistol. Kelly took the pistol and went home, and, after cleaning it up, sent his little son back to the store to get five cartridges. Kelly then loaded the pistol and shot one load off in the yard. Kelly then went to the field where the hands were plowing and was piling up some logs when Austin came along, stopped and commenced talk? ing to Kelly. They had some words. Three of the boys who saw it say that Austin struck Kelly in the breast first; one says he does not know who struck first; Austin's son says Kelly struck first. Four of them say that Austin took a rock from the ground and struck Kelly on the head; some of them say that Austin got the rock ont of his pocket, and the others say he picked it from the ground. Kelly was struck on .the left side of the head, which turned him around, some say, as often as two or three times. Kelly fired as he turned with the pistol against Anstin. The ball struck Austin in the left side, about li inches below the heart. Dr. Smith thought he was shot through the right lung or liver, or else the ball passed around the ribs to the back. Austin went about twenty-five yards and laid down. Kelly then went to him and saw that bis clothing was on fire, and put it out. He helped Austin up and told him that he would assist him in getting to the-house. When they had gone about fifty yards Kelly took sick and lay down. .Austin went on to the house and lay down by the fire. When I got there I found Austin in Mr. Kelly's house by the fire. Kelly was still down in the woods and had not got up. We got him up and assisted him to the house. This is as true a statement as I can give of the whole affair, as I had to take it from the parties who saw it. Austin is doing well and I think he will recover, as he is up walking about in the house. M. Berry Williams. Denver Items. Not long since a preacher, who had bought a horse on trial, concluded to test the animal's speed under the saddle, upon finding a level bit of road, and thinking no one in sight, he reined up to a bush and proceeded to cut a switch with which to urge the horse to greater speed. The horse which had "been thar" before, as soon as he found ont what was wanted, started off at a tremendous rate of speed, when this preacher, who is an eminent divine, reared back so hard on the reins tryipg to cast anchor as to break the bits, when away bounded the horse and down went knife and switch and every encum? brance. This preacher held on for dear life for about a mils and a half, when the horse's wild career was stopped and things righted, and no one hurt. It is said the preacher rivalled John Gilpin in his wild ride, with coat tails streaming out behind almost straight enough to carry a glass of water, A great deal of excitement and comment has been caused lately by the visitation to quite a number of residences of something that is supposed by a number of reliable Sersons to be some kird of a wild animal, hese visits are maae in the night, and generally consist in a general attack on every dog that is found, and ends in the oomplete routof the dog attacked. In some cases the dogs have not returned for a day or two, and in one instance a small dog belonging to July Hunter was killed and eaten?literally devoured?the same as a cat would devour a rat. This correspond? ent has made a number of inquiries and investigations trying to find out some? thing definite as to what it is that seems such a terror to dogs and bugaboo to peo? ple. I have examined a number of tracks said to have been made by this great ter? ror?this great "What is It??in its attack on dogs, and am forced to say that a dis? appointment is felt in failing to find any tracks or sign that could not have been made by an ordinary dog. Still we wait further developments. Farmers are making good use of all the fair weather to get their land in condition for planting. Some have commenced to plant corn, and another week of fair weather will bo greatly appreciated by them.

We do this partly as an advertise? ment1., partly as a Joke on the rats and mice, but principally as a protection to ouwelves 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.
