We agree with him. Our suggestion last week in refer- j ence to re-painting the building meets with the approval of everybody, and we 'hope our County Commissioners will have it done. The successful towns have been made by property owners pulling together. Public improvements is an investment that pays.

Mr. William Hale, one of Anderson County's oldest citizeno, died last Tues? day night after an illness of about twelve months, from neuralgia. Deceased was about 75 or 80 years old. He was a quiet, peaceable citizen, and for many years a member of the Methodist Church. His funeral will take place to-day (Thursday) at 10 o'clock, Rev. Dr. Barnes officiating. He leaves a wife and two children. The Gainesville (Ga.) correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution, under date of the ? 6th inst, says: ' The many friends of Rev. A.A. Marshall were glad to see him in their midst again. Mrs. Marshall, who is in poor health, accompanied him. They were on their way. to Montezuma, Ga., whither Mrs. Marshall hopes, to find im? provement as she rests among friends. Mr. Marshall preached a touching and tender sermon in jthe Baptist Church last night, from the Bubject of Jacob's wrest i ling at the brook. On his return to. his field in Anderson, S, C, he will stop over again and give the people another ser? mon." The Hartwell Sun,. of last week, says: "On Thursday of last week Mr. Will Gary and.the negroes who work on the river plantation of Mr. Wm. J.. Harper, sr.. saw a top-buggy floating down the swollen Savannah. The next day Messrs. Archie and Idndsey Parka saw a dark colored horse with harness on floating down the river* It is supposed that the horse- and buggy, from there not being hitched, were thrown from the flat' at some ferry on the Seneca or Tugalo Rivers, and the ' buggy being lighter than the horse natu? rally preceded.- We have heard of no disaster of 4he kind from any of the fer? ries in hearing distance." Mrs Eliz? J. King, relict of the late Tho3. King, .died at her home in Hop o well Township on Wednesday, 4th inst., in- the 66th year of her age. Mrs. King had been in feeble health, for several months, but she bore her suffering with Christian resignation, and when the summons of death came she was fully prepared to meet it. She was a moBt excellent lady, and was highly esteemed by all who knew her. For a number of years she was a faithful member of Dorchester Baptist Church. Her remains were buried on last Thurs? day at Neal's Creek Church, Rev. W. H. King conducting the funeral services. , She leaves behind her two sons and three daughters. That new hat that dons the Junior edi? tor's cranium was presented to him by Mr. Foster Fant, the clothier and hatter, whose place of business is on Whitner street. He was invited into Mr. Fant's establishment and asked to take his choice, but there were bo many pretty hats that it was almost impossible for him to do so. But he did like the girls do when they go to buy a hat?keep trying on and looking into the glass?and finally made a selec? tion. Mr. Fant has a large stock of hats, and he can please the most fastidious in price, quality and style. He keeps almost everything in the line of gents' wearing apparel, and will give satisfaction to every purchaser. Col. J. H. Rice and Dr. Mayo will visit Anderson Thursday, and deliver lectures in the Court House Thuz day evening at 8 o'clock. Everybody is' invited to attend. These are [gentlemen of ability, and will say something worth hearing. Col. Rice is State Superintendent of Edu? cation, and is well known in Anderson; Dr. Mayo is a gentleman of scholarly attainments, and is devoting himself to the cause of education. Ho has just delivered a series of lectures to the Win? throp Training Sohool of Columbia, in which he discussed various subjects per? taining to the work of education. Every teacher and every friend of education should hear him. The lectures will be free. . Another one of Anderson County's venerable citizens has been "called from labor unto rest." Last Friday evening, about 8 o'clock, after an illness of 'five weeks, Col. Wm. S. Shaw died at his home in Rock Mills Township, having reached the good old age of eighty-one years. His remains were interred at Mountain Creek Church on last Sunday, the funeral ser? vices being conducted by Rev. H. M. Allen, in the presence of a large concourse of friends and relatives. Col. Shaw was perhaps as widely known in Anderson County as any man that has ever resided within her borders. He was born in Wake County, N. C, but when about 20 years old removed to Anderson County, where he has since resided. He was, by profession a school teacher, and pur? sued this profession the greater portion Of his life. He was a man of more than or? dinary Intellect, and-in Mb day and time was recognized as a very successful teach? er. Many of the best citizens of our Coun? ty to-day received their intellectual,train? ing from him, and all of them will read this ariiouncement'of his death with sor? row. Prior to the war CoL Shaw took an jactlve part in the publio afiairs of the ? fetaMMgjjM^iany prominent posi Hp the people. He was ^jpright in all his deal ings with his fellow-men, and was always ready and willing to aid in anything that would tend to the betterment of his fel? low-men or increase the public welfare. He was a man of many admirable traits of character, and had a host of friends to whom he was always faithful. Col. Shaw married Miss Sallie Massey, who, together with three sons and four daughters, sur? vive him. They have the sympathy of many friends in their bereavement. The announcement of the coming of Rev. Sam Jones will be received with delight by our whole people. A commit? tee from the Methodist Church have arranged with the famous Georgian to deliver one of his lectures in this city on the night of the 21st inst. It is not known what his subject will be, but we feel safe in saying that it will be an origi? nal one, and it will be worth coming miles to hear. Mr. Jones has agreed to come to Anderson and deliver the lecture j for the benefit of the Methodist Church, I which, as is well known, has just been completed, >but which is not yet all paid for. It is proposed to devote the proceeds of the lecture to paying off the debt, so that the church can be dedicated at once. The admission price has been placed at 75 cents. Tickets will be placed on sale this morning at Hill Bros., where reserved Beats may be secured without extra charge. The great .Georgian will be greeted by a large audience, and those who expect to attend the lecture should secure their seats in advance at once. The South Carolina Presbytery. The South Carolina Presbytery held its 243rd session in the Presbyterian Church of this city last Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Rev. J. Lowrie Wilson, D.D., of Abbeville, was elected Moderator, Rev. S. Ij. Morris, of Trenton, Clerk, and Elder S, P. Dendy Assistant Clerk. Rev. A. P. Nicholson, of this city, the retiring Moderator, preached the opening sermon Friday night. It was an able effort, and enjoyed by alLwho heard it. On Saturday Elder T. F. Anderson, of Williamston, read to the Presbytery an extract from the will of his deceased wife, by which she bequeathed $300.00 as a per | znanent investment, the iaterest of which is to be equally divided between the causes of education, foreign missions and home missions. Mr. S, G. Sterling, of this County, a member of Midway Church, was intro? duced to the Presbytery as an applicant for the ministry. He passed his examina? tion, and was taken nnder the care of the Piesbytery as such candidate. He is a young man of character and energy, and will no doubt do good work in the Mas? ter's vineyard. . A request was made to the Presbytery asking for the organization of a church at Flat Rook. This was received and refer? red to a Committee, which reported unfa? vorable. This report was received as information, and another Committee ap? pointed on the request, with instructions to visit the place, and report at the next session of the Presbytery. Last Sunday the Baptist pulpit was filled by Rev. J. O. Lindsay, D.D., of Due West, the Methodist congregation heard Rev. T. B. Craig, and Rev. J. Lowrie Wil? son, D.D., preached from the Presbyterian pulpit. Rev. J. S. Cosby administered the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, after the sermon, to the congregation at the Presbyterian Church. In the afternoon a Sunday School Mass Meeting was held in the Presbyterian Church, to which all the Sunday Schools in the city were cor dially invited. At this meeting very interesting addresses were made by J. E. Boggs, Esq., of Piokens,Rev. W. H. Wal? lace, of Elberton, Georgia, and Rev, E. P. Mickel, of Kentucky. Rev. J. R. Riley, D.D., preached to a large congregation in the Presbyterian Church Sunday night. This has been -a very harmonious and working session of the Presbytery. The most .'animated discussion of the session was over the resolution in reference to Dr. Woodrow. The Rev. J. O. Llnsay, D. D., of Due West, and Capt. S, P. Dendy, of WalhaUa, were elected delegates to the next General Assembly which meets In Baltimore on the 17th of May. The following was introduced by Rev. J. S. Cooby, and after considerable debate, pro and con, was adopted by a vote of 38 tola: The Presbytery of South Carolina, feel? ing a deep interest in the Columbia Sem? inary? 1st. Because it had its birth in the midst of us. 2nd. Because it has received liberally of our patronage and of our means for its success. ? 3rd. Because it is naturally the fountain to which we desire in the future, as in the past, to send our candidates for the per? fecting of their theological education, -would: therefore respectfully overture the honorable Board of Directors touching the conduct of the Faculty in the follow? ing points, which seem to us demand se? rious consideration and prompt action, lest this cherished Institution lose much of the love and respect of em influential part of its present constituency: 1st. It has been alleged through the pub? lio prints that the Faculty has, In effect, rescinded in whole or in part the published permit that students' of the Seminary should be free to attend the lectures of the Professors of the South Carolina College. Touching this point, this Presbytery would ask the Board to decide whether , this be not a violation of a pledge on the part of the Faculty, and an unfair advan? tage of students that had been attracted to the Seminary, 2nd. It is alleged, and believed to be true, -that this prohibitory act of the Fac? ulty, although bearing immediately on the students of the Seminary, was design? ed to reach one, and only one, of the Pro? fessors of the South Carolina College? the Rev. James Woodrow, D.D.?a minis? ter in good and regular standing In the Presbyterian Church. This Presbytery would hereby ask the honorab^ Board to decide "whether this singling oui of this Professor from his associates, and forbid ding Btudento to attend upon his lectures, be not in effect condemning him without trial, before God's Church and the world, as a corrnpter of good morals, and an un? fit teacher of Christian youth ? and if this be so, is it not a great abuse of official po? sition on the part of the Faculty, a disre? gard of the obligations of Christian chari? ty, and a gross violation of the Bacred rights guaranteed by our Presbyterian government to every one professing its creed, and submitting to its authority? 3rd. Will not this prohibitory policy of the Faculty restraining students in'the Seminary from hearing lectures on scien? tific subjects by a Professor of acknowl? edged competency, be justly regarded as estopping their free research after truth, and such an unwarrantable fettering^ of Christian liberty, that many who wo?.Id naturally prefer to pursue their studies at Columbia Seminary will go elsewhere, rather than wear such shackles ? The Presbytery of South Carolina would respectfully ask the serious consideration of the Board to the points herein present? ed, and invoke their approval or disap? proval of the conduct of the Faculty, that we, as a part of the deeply interested con I stituency of the Columbia Seminary, may know what its future policy will be. The South Carolina Presbytery Is com? posed of the following named Counties: Abbe- Ue, Anderson, Edgefield, Newber ry, Oconee and Pickens. There were about sixty delegates in attendance. Rev. Mr. Forgartie preached in the Presbyterian Church Monday night, after which the Presbytery adjourned. The' next session of the Presbytery will meet at Mt. Carmel, on Friday before the fifth Sabbath in September. Floral Fair, Charleston, S. C. Excursion via Atlantio Coast Line. Through cars from Columbia & Green? ville Railroad points via this Line.

The fruit is not all killed in this section. Farm work is progressing very well since the ground has been in proper con? dition for work. Capt. Sharpe lost a fine canoe during the recent freshet on Seneca River. Wo had the pleasure, not long since, of visiting the Plain View Sunday School, which is Superintended by our young friend, George Hand. The School is-in a flourishing condition. We have no "varmints" in this section, but our people are very much afraid of cy? clones. Some of-them are so afraid, that they get up and dress when a little thun? der shower comes at night. It was our misfortune to travel over one of the most public roads in this Town? ship just after it had been worked (or, rather, gone over by the hands). We could hardly tell which we were driving over, a rock pile or one of the public roads of Anderson County. If this is the best that can be done, the road law is a failure. W. H. Flat Rock Items. Mrs. Clemintine Hall is now quite ill, and has been for some time. Mr. Harry McDonald said last Sunday he had planted sixteen acres of cotton. He is one of our most energetic farmers. Mr. Crumley Hall, who has been Buffer? ing for some time with cancer, is now quite ill. Farmers who planted corn before the heavy rains were afraid they would have to plant over, but they have been happily disappointed; don't think I ever suw a better stand. Notwithstanding the abundance of rain, the majority of farmers are through plant? ing corn and are planting cotton. Those who used raw cotton seed for manure have now a good stand of cotton up. On last Sunday at this place Rev. W. H. King preached quite an interesting ser? mon, after which the Sunday School was organized. Mr. S. P. T?te was elected Superintendent, and Mr. Frank Hays as? sistant. Sunday afternoon the young people met at the residence of Mr. Si A. Whittaker, and spent an honr or two in singing the sweet songs of Ziorr. Misses Mallie Whit? taker and Lula Jones were organists, and gave us some splendid music. Flat. Eureka Items. One of our good housekeepers in this community made an unfortunate mistake a few days ago. Her rule is to plant, if Sossible, her garden beans on Good Fri ay. Rut this time she planted them just one week to soon, thinking that it was Good Friday. She was very uneasy about them when she discovered her mis? take, but they nevertheless came up reg? ularly and beautifully, and present a healthy and luxuriant appearance. We predict an abundant yield. Perhaps it might not be amiss to give the rule by which any, one mey always tell when Good Friday comes, and we get this rule from old standard authority. Here is the rule, "Good Friday always come the first Friday after the first full moon after.the 20th day of March." So you see whether the moon has anything to do with every? thing else or not, it has absolute power in locating Good Friday. Enreka's weather prophet makes some very pleasant and encouraging prophecies about the rain for the next few weeks. We need favorable weather at this time. The farmers need it. They are pushing forward with an unusual vim at this time. They are forward in some things and behind in others; Cotton seed hnbeing planted generally this week. A great many commenced the first part or last week. Wheat, oats, barley and rye have a promising appearance, .and 'every lady is lively, and cheerfal, in a good humor and perfectly friendly with each other. Every lady in our community is enjoying ood health at this time, except -Mrs. ohn Robt. Smith, who has been Buffering severely and fearfully for several days with meningitis, but at this writing she is much improved. We have been wanting to ask some one for a long time the following questions, viz: How much do third grade school teachers know? We ask the question for information. One of the teachers of that grade carried his monthly. report to one of the trustees of our township the other day for approval, and in writing the name Broadaway he (the teacher) spelled it "Brod-i-way." This gives us a slight index to his knowledge of orthography. We sometimes think, in our humble and feeble way of thinking, that the Board of Examiners does the (perhaps we ought to say the School Law) children ol our County an injustice in sending out such teachers, whose pates are so thinly clad on the inside to teach in the public schools. " ??- The undersigned has 200 bushels of food, hard, dry coal for Bale at 5 cents per nshel, at his home in Varennes Town ship. Wm. B. Haxl. b Neul'? Creek Items. W'6 have beard the first whipporwill song. Farmers are making good use of all farm? ing weather. Some are planting cotton. There are a few cases of whooping-congh in the vicinity. Mr. J. J. Majors's house is now under? going the painter's brush, which will be a great improvement. Mr. J. C. Horton has purchased wire to eiclose most of his bottom land for pasture, and will engage in the cattle business gen? erally. Mr. E. C. Chamblee has several fields of the finest wheat we have seen. Rev. W. H. King will address the Neal's Creek Sunday School the 22nd inst., at 4 o'clock p. m. Mr. Jas. A. Elgin's small grain crop looks quite. promising. Mr. Elgin is a model young farmer, as a walk over his farm will prove. ? Lowndesvllle Items. Owing to the incessant rains, the far? mers are all despondent. Last Monday the old Council was re elected. Intendant?D. L. Barnes. War? dens?B. A. Henry, R. A. McConnell, J. J. Johnson, T. P. Baskin. Their past record is a good one, and the citizens have fully shown their appreciation by re-elect? ing them. Mr. P. L. Sturkey, one of our mer? chants, is confined to bis bed, caused from a felon on his finger. We hope to see him out again. Mrs. James M. Baker is on a visit to her father, Mr. L. A. Adams, of Augusta. Mr. D. K. Cooley Is building a neat cot? tage on depot street. Mr. E. R. Horton will occupy the same, when finished. Through the kindness of Rev. W. B. Martin, the store of Mr. P. L. Sturkey is open for business. LowndesviUe can boast of the smallest telegraph operator in the up country. He is twelve years old, and can take and send a message as quick as anybody. Miss Bailie Donnald is visiting relatives here. We know some of the young men are truly glad. Mr. G. L. Baker has been quite sick, but we are glad to report him better. . The young men contemplate having another minstrel soon. Hurrah ! and get it up. Miss Surrilla Smith will spend the sum? mer with her sister, Mrs. P.JL. Sturkey, of this place. Mr. Robt. Scoggins, who neglected to Jay hi? poll tax, was sent ot jail by Trial ustice Moore for twenty days. Eyes. Piedmont Sunday School Institute.
