The firemen, were called out last Fri?
day at 12 o'clock in response to an alarm
occasioned by tbe fodder in Mr. S. T.
Craig's stable catching fire. The fervices
of the firomen were not needed, as the
fire was promptly put out by persons on
the premises. It is snpposed that the.
fire was caused by a spark from the fire
around the wash-pot in tbe yard, as the
window of the .stable was open and the
wind was Mowing. In the afternoon tbe
roof of one of the warehouses at tbe C. &
G. depot caught fire from a spark from a

buished and no damage was done

there had been no fire about the premises
I for more than twenty-four hours preced?
ing the fire. Mr. Schlapbach, who resides
linear the burnt house, was the first to give
the alarm, and he says he is confident the
house was set afire, for when he reached
it he could smell kerosene oil, and that
the floor was the first part of the building
to ignite. The bujlding was;valued at

The Reception at the Sewing Machine
Parlor of Mr. C. A. Reed on Thursday,'
Friday and Saturday of last week was
largely attended, and every one who went
there did not regret it, for there was on
exhibition the grandest display 'of fancy
work ever seen in Anderson. Mr. H. C.
Lee, of Atlanta, Ga., representing tbe
New Home Sewing Machine Company,
was present and executed some very
pretty work on the New Home Sewing
Machine. There were various fancy
articles, consisting of pictures, curtains,
lambrequins, etc., on exhibition, all of .
which had been executed on tbe New
Home Sewing Machine without any
attachment. Some of the articles were
rare and unique, and one could hardly
believe that they were executed on a sew?
ing machine.
The Young America Cornet Band re?
turned home last Saturday, having spent

During their stay in the city, the boys
were the recipients of many coustesies

and wero highly complimented for their
proficiency. The boys saw all the sights
of the city, were tendered an excursion
around the harbor, and were given a
reception at the residence of Col. G. A.
Wagener. The Band stopped over in
Orangeburg on Friday night and played
for an entertainment given r>7 the ladies
of the Baptist Church. The boys were
also highly pleased with Orangeburg, and
especially with her. .pretty girls. The
trip throughout was a grand one for the ?
boys, and they will not soon forget it.
The Greenville correspondent of the
Charleston Sunday News, under date of the
21st inst, says: "A hew freight tariff
between 8partanburg, Greenwood, Lau
rens, Anderson and Greenville and Eas?
tern points and Charleston, was promul?
gated here to-day, and promises to cause
a mild and pleasant sensation by its pro?
nounced reduction in rates. The new
tariff goes into effect on Monday. Tbe
rate on first-class freight is reduced eleven
cents a hundred. On bacon the reduction
is three cents per one hundred, on grain
two cents, and on four ten cents per
barrel." Other classes come down in pro?
portion. It is noted that reduction has
been made solely at points in this section
where the Richmond sad Danville and
Georgia Central come together, and there
is a faint suspicion that it means a war in
rates.".
The quarterly meeting of the Confeder?
ate Survivors' Association of Anderson
County was held in the Court. House last
Saturday, Col. J. W. Norris, 2nd Vice
president, presiding. The meeting was
opened with prayer by Rev. E. Z. Brown,
after which, the roll was called and the
minutes of the last meeting read and con?
firmed. Mr. J. L. Mauldin, in behalf of
special committee ou badge for the Asso?
ciation, asked for further time in which to
make a report, which was granted. Ow?
ing to tbe small attendance at the meet?
ing, it was resolved- that tho election of a
Visiting Committee be postponed until
the next meeting. On motion, it was
resolved that all disabled soldiers be
exempted from the initiation fee and.
dues. On motion, it was agreed that the
next annual meeting, which takes place
on Saturday, July 21st., be held at Keys'
Spring, end the following gentlemen

business, the Association adjourned.
Mr. James Mullikin, better known as
'Squire Mullikin, who resided in Garvin
Township, died last Saturday, and was
buried last Sunday at the family grave?
yard on bis place near his residence. At
the time of his death he was in the ninety
fourth year, of his age, being at that age
the-oldest citizen of our County. 'Squire
Mullikin, during his life, filled several
offices of tru3t in this County, being for
several years Tax Collector. He was also
Justice of the Peaco for many years. For
a number of years prior to bis death he
drew a pension from the United States on
account of services rendered in the war'e
1812. Deceased was ever fearless and bo.
in expressing his opinions ou every sub
Ject that came before the people. If he
disagreed with any one he had no hesita?
tion in saying so. He was ever candid.
For many years of his life he was a mem?
ber of the Baptist Church at Six-and
Twenty. He reared a large family of
children, and those who are still living
are monuments to the honesty and integ?
rity of their father, being good and useful
citizens. In the death of Mr. Mullikin,
Anderson County has lost a good citizen.

REV. SAM. P. JONJG3.
'/ ho Great Georgian Visits Anderson, and
Lcctnres and Presche?, to Large Audi
enoes.
The long wish of a great many of onr
''people to hear and4see the great Georgia
preacher, Rev. Sam. P. Jones, has been
gratified, aud since Sunday he has been
the talk of the city. There is perhaps no
man in the United States to-day who has
been more severely criticised by the Press
than he, but notwithstanding this, he still
holds his own. Many of our citizens who
had read these criticisms bad formed an
opinion of tbe man boforo his coming,
and they "naturally expected to see a gen?
uine hyena or some other rare animal in
human shape. But in this they were
disappointed; ho is simply a man, of the
average size, but he is certainly a won?
derful man?a genius.
Beforo speaking of his lecture and ser?
mons in this city, we do not think a brief
sketch of his life would be out of place
here. Mr. Jones was born in Cartersville,
Ga,?his present home?in 1849. His
father was a lawyer, but several of. his an?
cestors were connected with the ministry.
Hi* early life was marked by a restless?
ness and recklessness that threatened
nothing but evil, but the death of his
father led to the conversion of the young
man. Such, a scene as was witnessed in
that chamber of death is not often beheld.
The hour was tragic; falling on the floor
the prodigal son cried out: "I'll quit, I'll
quit; God be merciful to mo a sinner."
The great change came by tbe renewing
power of the Holy Spirit. The young
convert soon had a desire to preach, and
in 1872 was admitted to the North Geor?
gia Conference, but it was. not until 1876,
In Floyd County, Georgia, that , he
emerged from obscurity. For over ten
years he labored in. the' various churches
of his native State, but in 1881 went to
Alabama. He in turn visited Florida,
Mississippi, Kentucky, Texas, Tennessee,
South Carolina, New York, Ohio, etc.,
etc. His audiences ran into the thou?
sands, and in Nashville, Tennessee, he
was so successful that crowds were turned
away nightly. He has since visited Cana?
da aud nearly every State in the Union,
and to-day among the many religious
revivalists no one is attracting more
attention than he.
Mr. Jones came to Anderson at the
solicitation of tbe Methodist congregation.
He arrived in the city Saturday afternoon
from Greenville. For ten days preced?
ing Saturday tickets to the lecture were
on sale, and by Saturday evening nearly
all the seats were sold. The lecture was
in the Methodist' Church, which was
comfortably filled with a very intelligent
audience. Mr. Jones appeared on the
rostrum at' the appointed hour, and was
introduced by Rev. W. S. Wightman.
He announced as his subject for the even?
ing, "Character and Characters," and spoke
for more than two hours. His lecture
throughout abounded in humor, logic
and common sense. Many of his anec?
dotes may have appeared a little rough
and blunt to some of his hearers, bnt
nevertheless every one of them illustrated
a good point and carried .its moral with
it. The lecturer showed what constituted
a good character and how to build it, and
if every one who heard him will only fol?
low bis advice they will be benefited.
At ;the conclusion of the lecture, Mr.
Jones announced that he would preach
next morning at 10 o'clock.
Sunday morning dawned bright and
clear, and long before 10 o'clock the spa?
cious church building was filled to its
utmost capacity, the audience being com?
posed of people not only from the city
and County, but also from the neighbor?
ing Counties. Many people were unable
to get in the building. Mr. Jones took his
text from the 9th verse of the 3rd chapter
of John: "Whoever is born of God doth
not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in
him and he cannot sin, because be is bora
of God." He preached for nearly two
hours, and was listened to very attentive?
ly by the large audience. Tbe sermon
was delivered in a free, easy style, and
deeply impressed his hearers.
At the conclusion of the service, Mr.
Jones'announced that $500 was needed to
complete the church, and in a short time
he had secured about $400.
Sunday afternoon at half past 3 o'clock
another service was tteld, and again the
church was crowded.
Sunday night, at 8 o'clock, the final
service was held, and there was not
standing room in the churcb, the crowd
in attendance being larger perhaps than at
the morning service. The text was from
Proverbs, 11th chapter and 19th verse:
"As righteousness tcndeth to life; so he
that pursueth evil pursucth it to his own
death." This sermon is considered by
many to be the abl?st of the three he
preached during his stay. It was per?
haps deeper and more impressive, and at
its conclusion it was very evident that he
had fairly captivated his hearers and re?
moved every prejudice that may have ex?
isted pgainst him. It was certainly a
grand effort, aud no one could have lis?
tened to it without being seriously affect?
ed.
Before dismissing the congregation Mr.
Jones stated that he had about 60 children
In his Orphan's Home, all of whom were
dependent upon him for their support,
and if any one present felt disposed to
help him in this work, he would bo glad
to receive their contributions. In re?
sponse to this call, ho received about $30.
Rev. Sam. Jones has come and gone,
aud whatever may be said and thought of
him in other places, there is no defying
tbe fact that he has made a host of friends
in Anderson, and that his visit here has
done much good. Ho is truly a remark?
able man, aud has better control of his
audiences than any man we have ever
listened to. At one moment he would
convulse his hearers with laughter ai I
the next moment be would have them
shedding tears. There is a peculiar fasci?
nation about tbe map, and wore many of
his expressions uttered by any other
man they would perhaps bo considered
uncouth and out of place, but coming
from him, with his style of utterance and
gestures, coupled with his earnestness
and zeal, they are carried at once to the
heart of the hearer, and are bound to
leave their impression. He makes no
attempt at oratory, but delivers his ser?
mons in a very slow, easy manner. He
is a hard man to describe, and about tbe
best eulogy .we have seeu of him comes
from an unknown writer, who says:
"la approaching a platform on which
Sam Jones stands, surrounded by thou?
sands of upturned faces, what arrests
attention is his utter freedom from cleri?
calism in any of his characteristics. His
attitude, his tones of voice, his forms of
expression have all the naturalness and
freshness of a Kentucky or Tennessee pop
ular stump speaker. Tbe feeling pro?
duced in the hearor is mixed, you ap?
prove oftho naturalness, but find yourself
putting an Interrogation poiot bofore tbe
abandon in manner and expressions. It
is bard to rid one's self of the conviction
that reverence is absent, or there would
be greater constraint in manner. "While
you are yet turning this q nett ion over he
bursts upon yon with a witticism, a slang
phrase, ot reckless abuse, such as offends
most deeply and makes you wi3h your?
self out of the audience. Your politeness
holds you until his work of application
comes, fierce with earnestness or brim?
ming over with sympathy." Our only
regret is that wo can't give to our readers
every word he uttered in his lecture and
sermons during his st:iy in our citj\
Denver Item?.
Thursday afternoon, 10t!i inst., ihls sec
tion was visited by u toriific etonn of rain
and bail. Tho cloud came from the north?
west, und for fiftven or twenty minings
almost a perfect uehig? of water fell,.t{ning
immense daiuugo to fanners io \h?. nay
of washing land, &c. The fall of rain re?
minded ono very much of the time it
rained on an empty barrel with both heads
out aud the bung-holo turned up?faster in
tbe bung-hole tban could escape at both
ends and the beads out. The hail fall was
about two inches on a level, bh near as
could be told. Ditches and terraces were
wholly inadequate to carry the immense
sheet of water and -hail that fell. Unless
a more thorough system of drainage is
adopted by the farmers, red gullies will
be seen where now fertile fields abound.
Some of the most progressive farmers are
ditching their lands that were formerly
terraced, and then running the rows on a
level between the ditches. This plan is
said to work very well.
We have no young man in this com?
munity so far gone as to wear a pen wiper
for a cravat, or do any thing so patriotic
as that, but we do lay claim to the most
"previous" young man. One recent
Saturday night he went to engage tbe
company of a young lady for the next day
to go to a Singing Convention. He was
so eager to start Sunday morning that he
failed to time himself right, and made his
call on the young lady before she had
gotten up. Being rather bashful, he did
not wait for her to get ready to go with
him, but left alone, thereby causing two
hearts to be lonely throughout the day.
Moral: Young man, don't stay too late
Saturday night.
Several persons from this community
went to hear Rev. Sam Jones lecture and
preach when he was at Anderson, and all
are highly pleased wih him. Some of
them were somewhat prejudiced against
him, but on bearing him thoir prejudice
vanished.
Mr. J. B. Douthit had the misfortune
lately to loso a valuable milk cow.
On la9t Sunday Rev. B. M. Pack
preached a very impressive sermon at New
Salem to an attentive congregation. His
subject was "unity" in its broadest and
fullest sense. He preaches without "fear,
affection or favor," and handles a subject
with gloves off.
The people don't believe in the weather
predictions of Iril R. Hicks the storm
prophet. O, no, of course they don't, but
somehow a cloud seems to appear black?
er that rises about the time, he predicts a
storm.

A good friend of ours suggests that our
Commissioners look more ciosely after

Dedication or Dorchester Church.
Messrs. Editors : 1/ was the pleasure of
the w.^'r to be at Dorchester Baptist
Church oirC^t Sunday, the occasion bein^f
the dedication of their new church build?
ing, which thoy have just completed and
paid for in full, the same costing about $400.
It is a neat and substantial wooden struc?
ture, ceiled and painted, and presents quite
an attractive appearance, in striking con?
trast with the old hull of a house in which
for more than fifty years these people and
tbeir fatbi rs before have worshipped,
The delicatory sermon was preached by
Rev. A. A. Marshall, of Andersoa, from
these words: "'But will God in very deed
dwell with men on theoarth? Behold,
heaven und the heaven of heavens cannot
contain ibee; bow much less this house
which I have built I"?taken from thepray
er of Soiomon at the dedication of the
Tomple, and found in 2nd Chron., vi., 18.
The discourse was appropriate, entertain?
ing and instructive, and the rapt attention
of the iirge congregation attested their
appreciation of it.
The speaker, at the close of his sermon,
gave a hricf history of the Church, and af:er
congratulating the membership upon the
completion of their new building, and es?
pecially upon the Fact thai; it was free from
debt, made the formal dedication in an ear?
nest and most impressive prayer.
Tbo entire Mirrices were most interest?
ing, and bo manifest was the pardonable
pride and pleasure of our Dorchjsstcr breth?
ren that I found my heart beating in
hearty sympathy with them, and I realized
something of what my own feelings will
be when permitted to worship for the first
time in the new church building that my
own church is looking forward to.
Dorchester is not a strong church numer?
ically or financially, and the work which
theybave accomplished is greatly to their
credit. The secret lies in the fact that they
havo made "a strong pull, a long pull, and
a pull altogether." As on evidence of the
pluck and energy displayed by them, they
worshipped in the old house one Sunday,
tore it down next day, and at their regular
meeting a month later, had the new build?
ing in its place.
' Dorchester is among the oldest Churches
in the County, having been constituted in
1882. Rev. Robert King (of sainted mem?
ory), familiarly known as "Uncle Bobby,"
was its first pastor, and served the Church
in this relation almost continuously for
more than thirty years. A remarkable
record, testifying to the godly character
and usefulness of this servant of God who,
though an unlettered man, was for so
many years a faithful and efficient minis?
ter of Christ.
A few years ago the Church, from various
causes, became practically a dead Church.
Without a pastor, with membership scat?
tered, an old dilapidated bouse, it seemed
the part of wisdom to disband, but a few of |
the brethren clung to the old Church
around which centered so many sacred
memories of -the past. ?ev. G. SI. Rogers
was secured to preach once a month on
Sunday afternoon. The labors of this
energetic brother were greatly blessed of |
God, and the old Church took on new life,
and to-day with a new bouse of worship
and an active and united membership, a
live Sunday School, and a well-attended
weekly prayer meeting, it has again taken
front rank among its sister churches in the
old Saluda Association.
It was our good fortune to fall into the
bands of Mr. O. E. Breazeale and his esti?
mable wife, in whose pleasant home we
spent a few hours most enjoyably, and had
the inner man hospitably refreshed. It
does a "town 'man" a deal of good to
get into the country now and then, to
breathe the fresh air, view the growing
crops, and to shake hands with our farmer
friends, who shake as if they are in earnest
when they say "I am glad to see you."
Visitor.
The Unknown Fea.
Mb. Editor : I take pleasure in accepting
your kind offer to publish to the farmers
of Anderson County my success in grow?
ing the Unknown Pea, I have been Iook
ing for several years for a prolific pea, that
would make more vine than the Whip
Eoorwill and other good varieties that we
ave been planting, I wrote to my broth?
er of Augusta, who deals largely with
planters, being a commission merchant, to
make inquiry as to the most prolific and
largest vine-growing pea they knew of,
and he sent me two bushels of the Un?
known Pea. I planted them in the middle
between my corn, the corn rows being six
feet wide, and on ordinary thin cotton land.
I planted them about the first of May.
From the two bushels I gathered about one
hundred bushels, and the largest quantity
of vines I ever saw grow. They make a
vine from two to four feet high, and the
main stem is from one-half to one inch in
diameter, and ran until the whole of the
surface of the ground was covered and
thoroughly shaded with a solid mass of
vines.. We had a dry season of several
weeks in September, just as the peas were
in bloom, and Mr. L. D. Harris, my neigh?
bor, in front of whose house the field lies,
and who was interested in watching their
growth, said it was the finest mass of vines
he ever saw, but that he did not think I
would more than get seed, but finally the
rains came, and as I have stated thoy began
to make, and I gathered about one hun?
dred bushels from the two planted, and I
had at least three times as many vines left
on the ground as I would have gotten from
any other pea I have ever planted. Mr.
Harris had the Whippoorwill in a field
adjoining mine, and I am satisfied I got
three times as many peas and vines per
acre as he got. I have between iorty and
fifty bushels for seed, and if any one would
like to try them they can be had at Hill
Bros, drug store, or from me atBclton, S.C.

Their Business Booming.
Probably no one thing has caused such a
goneral revival of trade at Hill Bros. Drug
?tore as their giving away to their custo?
mers of so many free trial bottles of Dr.
King'3 New Discovery for Consumption.
Their trade is simply enormous in this
very valuable article from the fact that it
always cures and never disappoints.
Coughs, Colds, Asthma, . Bronchitis,
Croup, and all throat and lung diseases
quickly cured. You can test it before
buying by getting a trial bottle free, large
size $1. Every bottle warranted. 3

is poor, you are bothered with Headache,
you are fidgety, nervous, and generally
out of sorts, und want to brace up. Brace

cines, or bitters, which have for then: basis
very cheap, bad whisky, and which stimu?
late you for an hour, and then leave you

you want is an alterative that will purify
your blood, start healthy action of Liver
