ANDERSON'S COTTON MUX. ? ____ Tho Intelligencer takes it for granted that every citizen of the city and County of Anderson wishes to see Ander? son prosper, and would prefer living in an enterprising, wide awake community to an existence in Sleepy Hollow. But the prosperity of any community depends upon the efforts of the people of that community, and those communities that are displaying the most energy and encouraging every effort to advance their prosperity are the ones that are makiDg the greatest strides forward. A Company to build a cotton mill in our city has been organized, and the books to receive subscriptions to the capi? tal stock of the same are now open. The gentlemen who are at the head of the enterprise mean business, and they have determined to push it to success. They realize that it is a big undertaking, bnt they - are relying on the assistance of every citizen who feels any interest in the welfare and prosperity of his County and County > at. Now, if these gentle men can gb. the assistance, the task before them will be an easy one, compar? atively. The question before onr people ia, will this cotton mill "add anything to the prosperity.gtgJStt^ County? The quejilioa-iiecSa'no answer from us, for every man, woman or child, who pos? sesses the least bit of reason, knows that it will. The next question then is, will our people assist to push this cotton mill to completion? We believe they will, for we are not yet ready to believe they will be so derelict in their duty as to fail to grasp the opportunity. Every man in the County, whether he be a merchant ior clerk, a lawyer, a land-owner or tenant, a contractor or workingman, is directly interested in the success. of this enterprise, and it is his doty to encourage the good work to the extent of his ability. Let no one fail to do his duty because he may see.others shirking. If the city and County of Anderson are to go ahead from this time forth end prosper, as we hope to, we have not only to. work for it, but we also have to pay for it, often perhaps at the cost of a per*, sonal sacrifice. Eras of-great -public' pjc?j)ejdty-a2d^the' steady accumulation of wealth surely follow the putting forth of energy in the righ t direction; and the intelligent, discriminating expenditure of large sums of money. This money must inevitably come from the pockets of the people, and the man who deceives him-, self into the thought that others can do the work and pay the bill, while he self? ishly loofa after only his own personal interests, will be relegated to the rear, where he belongs. A community ia 1 made up of the men and prosperity in it, and it is progressive and prosperous only as its citizens are public spirited and their "means devoted in a proper measure to the promotion of the public good. The erection of a cotton mill in An? derson will certainly be followed by j other enterprises, all ~of which will benefit, directly or indirectly, every citi? zen, he he rich or poor. We hope, onr friends in the County-will come forward and lend their aid in erecting this enter? prise. The shares in the cotton mill are only one. hundred dollars each, and there are few men in our County who could not take at least one share. The pay - ; ments will be made easy, and no one < need have any-fear in not being able to [ meet them. A Piedmont Normal Institute. In a quiet way a movement of impor? tance to the teachers of this section is being agitated by School Commissioners Mayfield, of this county, and Clinkscales, I of Anderson county. The idea originated i from.theInter-Couaty Institute of Green ! ville and Anderson counties, at Williams ton last summer, and it looks to the union of teachers of all the higher Piedmont counties, Greenville, Anderson, Oconee, Picfcens, Spartanburg and Lau renB, in a grand Inter-connty Piedmont Normal Institute in this city this summer. The institute at Williamston last year was a splendid unbroken success. This year, by previous arrangement, the institu te was fixed to be held in Greenville beginning Monday; June26th, and closing Friday, July JJtb-?Mer ? May field is: now in correspondence with Prof. i7.-E."-XTemra, of Ohio, who was principal of the institute at Williamston, and who is now in Germany, and with a number cf other Normal School special? ists, including the Presidents of the Alabama and the North Carolina Normal Institutes with a view to securing an able faculty of at least five for this Bummer's institute. The session, in fact, is an assured success even if no other counties come in. But the idea is that by the four other upper Piedmont counties co-operating with Greenville, the institute could be made of very great benefit to each county with an increase of the faculty and a reduction of the cost to each county. In fact, with the aid derived from the Pea body fund, it is estimated that Oconee. Pickens. Laarena and Spartanburg could join with Anderson and Greenville in the institute at an expense to each of not more than $50 or 9100. The teachers of each county would have exactly the same > footing in the institute and would derive .the same benefit. Commissioner May field has broached the matter to the teachers of the several counties and is hopeful of success. Now that all the counties are working in har? mony for other ends, it is hoped that they will unite ia this work in behalf-of the public school work where so much can I be done for so little money. The move men is heartily backed by Commissioner Clinkscale?, of Anderson, who is himself one of the most progressive, popular and efficient officers in the State.?Greenville News, 27 th ink. Repressing Borrowing Neighbors. 'TU bet I've got some of the meanest neighbors a fellow ever had," said a man to some half a dozen loungers; "they're always, on the borrow. One family in particular sends every day or two for a cup of browned coffee?of which we keep only the very best?and then returns, in place of it, a most inferior article. We're going to head 'em off on that though; they owe us a cup now, and when they fetch it home wife's going to Bet it away and loan it to 'em again I" and he chuckled with infinite satisfaction. "Well, sir," continued another, after a pause, "my wife has a worse neighbor than that She moved into our neigh? borhood about a month ago, and in a few days borrowed a cup of sogar. When she returned it it wasn't nearly so full. After two or three such experiences my wife set the cup away, and when she returned for another loan sent back the same quantity.- It was still lighter when it was returned, and after two weeks passing back and forth my wife handed ft out at last with less than a spoonful in it." "How much was in it when the woman sent it home ?" queried a listener. "Not a single grain!?they had washed the cup I"?Detroit Free Press. ? Major E. A. Burke, of New Orleans, one o* the best known newspaper men in the South, expects, it is said, to realize something like $10,000,000 from his land speculations in Bessemer, Ala. If he does, it will represent an enormous profit on an investment he made there hardly two years ago, when? small frame hut was the chief building in the town. Major Burke is about 60 years old, and was employed on ? a Texas railroad at a small saary when the war broke out. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Gbeeeville, S. 0., May 27.?Calvin Williams and Allen, Smith, two white men were drowned while seining in Reedy river, near Fork Shoals, this after? noon. Williams, while in deep water, was taken w.?h a cramp, was in the act of drowning wiien Smith tried to rescue him. In the attempt to do so he also was drowned. J. A. Mooney, a promi? nent lawyer of Greenville, seeing both would drown unless help was rendered, plunged in and made a gallant attempt to save them, but without success, life being extinct from both bodies, when found a few hours later. Williams leaves a wife and four children and Smith a wife and five children. Chicago, May 34.?A dispatch from Bonham, Texas, says: A destructive cyclone swept over Brown ton, 25 miles eaat of here, yesterday evening, destroy? ing the Methodist, Baptist and Congre? gational chnrches and eight dwellings. One building was carried across a railroad track and crashed. Amanda Willis (colored), who had taken refuge inside, was instantly killed. Eight persons, in? cluding the Sheriff and County Recorder, were fatally injured. The damage will exceed $12,000. The path of the storm was three hundred yards wide and every? thing within those limits, crops, fences, barns, outhouses and trees, was swept away. A terrible rain, hail and lightning storm followed. Louisville, Ky., May 26.?Eugene Cbal&nt, a laborer in the glass works at New Albany, Ind., died here this morn? ing of hydrophobia. He was bitten some weeks ago by a small Spitz dog, bnt as the wound healed he paid no aitention to it. Yesterday he was seized with slight paroxysms of nausea which he could not explain. He sent for a doctor, who. by the time of his arrival, found Ohaifant frothing at the month and delir? ious. In spite of attempts to relieve him the malady grew worse through the night until this morning. The sufferer was passing through a succession of terrible convulsions, which rapidly grew more frequent, until death. The immediate cause of death was the bursting a blood vessel. L:Columbia,S.O.,May 27.?Great ex? citement is reported to exiBt in the upper portion of Union county, this State, in consequence of the brutal murder of Gunnings Byers, a white youth of sixteen Jears, by a negro named Ben Cunning am.. This negro han previously had a difficulty with JByere'B xather, on whose farm be waaa-terrant, swearing vengeance ogabjaV'the. whole Byers family. .Cun? ningham took it on the first member he met unprotected. Meeting yonng Byers alone in the woods he dealt him a mortal blow on the head with an ax and then fled. A party are already in pursuit, and it is not likely that Cunningham can escape. There is much talk of lynching him: and unless he falls into the hands of the authorities before the pa ran ere take him he will doubtless never come to trial Birmingham, Ala., May 25.?A bloody and brutal tragedy occurred late last night at Helena, a small mining town,' fifteen miles south of this city. A num? ber of negro laborers were drinking together, and Jack Williams and Dick Russell became involved in a quarrel. Williams drew a long-bladed knife, and attacking Russell came near cutting his heart out. The negro's breast and abdo? men were laid open by heavy blows with the'dirk, and he was otherwise mutilated in a horrible manner. The second stab with the dirk, laid open Russell's breast and penetrated the heart, killing him instantly. Williams was arrested by three white men. While on the way to the jail he attacked them, and succeeded in making his escape, after having severely beat one of his capto He is still at large, but was trailed with blood? hounds to-day. Tofeea, Kan., May 23.?A pardon has been issued by Governor Martin to Ohas. H. Rotrock of Ottawa County, who killed his wife a number of years ago while under the influence of liquor. The peculiar feature of the pardon is the fact that the Governor issued it upon the condition that Rotrock will forever ab? stain from the use of intoxicating liquor. Such a condition has never been imposed in a pardon issued by. a Governor of this State. The Supreme Court of Iowa has held that the Governor may impose any condition he chooses in granting a pardon, and that in case the condition is ever violated the person pardoned may be rearrested on the order of the Governor and made to serve the balance of the penalty. Attorney General Bradford has advised the Governor that such a condi? tion. as imposed in Rotrock's pardon would be sustained by the courts. ' Columbia, S. C? May 25?An attempt at poisoning, which came near being successful, is reported from Yorkvillfii. The household of Withers -Auickes, a prominent citizea- of "the place, consists .of six grown persons. All felt alarming Bymptoms immediately after breakfast; and a physician's services were required. He said their symptoms indicated arseni? cal .poison. They all recovered a..er treatment. Next morning Adickes, sus? pecting something still wrong, went to the kitchen, and there found that a gray powder had been pnt into the several articles of uncooked food. Analysis by two different tests showed the presence of arsenic in these articles, including the milk. The: second attempt to poison somebody was more determined than the first. Anabel Jones, a negro Woman, has been arrested on suspicion and she is in York vi lie jail. The generally accepted theory is, that the attempt to poison was directed against Adickes's cook, also a colored woman. AtlahtA/Ga., May 26.?A few weeks ago a man located in Green County and called himself "Abbiddigal" or "Holy One," said he had received instruction by Divine revelation to free the negroes of Georgia from the bondage of a false religion, and deluded them into believ? ing he was the colored Saviour. He held services in the fields and groves and adorned himself on these occasions with gaudy turbans and flowing robes. He ad beads and ornaments that he sold readily as shields against the cower of Satan. He was regarded by the white people as a harmless crank. The stran? ger secretly informed.the negroea that there was a "land of promise" which he had recently discovered. It was, he said, a place prepared for negroes, where they had neither to work nor starve, a para? dise that was to be the home of all who followed him. He bade them steal or to sell all they had and put their money in his keeping, and on a certain night they would start on their journey. A dozen families Bold their cabins, crops, and all they possessed and put the money in the hands of "Abbidigal." The swindler Appointed two nights ago for a meeting at an isolated spot, when a band of about forty men; women, and children congre? gated and waited in vain. It was ascer? tained that the "Holy One" was several miles distant in an opposite direction, making his way across the country. The pilgrims pursued) "Abbidigal," caught him, hung him to a tree, and the exas? perated mob lashed his nude body with briar reeds until they believed him dead. He was found some time later by white people and cared for, but cannot recover. He is a white man, but had stained his face, hands, and hair so as to pass for a j negro. ? A young gentleman of France, one evening after a dance, made a bet while supping that he could swallow a raw egg without breaking the shell, and he did so. A few days afterward he experienced violent pains; the doctor administered a strong emetic, the egg came back, hut broken, and out sprang a young chicken. The warmth of the young man's stomach had produced the unexpected result, and if any one doubts the truth of the story, say those who vouch for it, he can go to Chalons and see the chicken that was hatched. ? The Augusta Chronicle is pitching into the Rev. Sam Jones. In the mean? time Mr. Jones is conducting one of the biggest revivals that Rome ever had. People may say what they please about the Rev. Sam, but the fact cannot be denied that he wakes op and shake? up the sinners. Evolution Exorcised. Baltimore, May 26.?The Southern Presbyterian General Assembly met at 9.30 this morning. Dr. Bollock in tbe chair. Dr. Woodrow's case was resumed and the call continued for an expression of the-views of members on evolution. Moat of those who gave expression to their views announced their belief in tbe sin? cerity of Dr. Woodrow but could not sustain his -complaint. Others declared the question to be beyond the jurisdiction of the assembly and said it should be dismissed without consideration. Others again denounced the theory of evolution as opposed to Scripture and subversive to the interest of Christianity and of the church. Still others insisted that Dr. Woodrow ia his teachings did not violate any law of God or of the church and that his complaint against the Synod of Geor? gia should be sustained. The delegates from the South Carolina Synod, with three exceptions, spoke in favor of sus? taining the complaint of Dr. Woodrow, and the Bev. Dr. J. 0; Lindsay declared his entire belief in evolution, not only in the creation of the body of Adam but in the creation of all things. His remarks were greeted with applause which was promptly checked by the Moderator, who told tbe Assembly that they were in a court of Jesus Christ and he hoped there wonld be no repetition of Buch approval or disapproval. A vote was reached about one o'clock when 34 votes were cast to sustain the complaint and 109 votes against sustaining the complaint and two votes for sustaining it in part. A telegram was received from the Northern Assembly expressing the pleas? ure afforded that body by the meeting of the Southern Assembly at the centennial celebration and declaring its readiness at any time to enter upon negotiations for the organic joining of the two branches of the church. Beferred. The Bev. Mr. Whitling gave notice that he will file a protest against the action of the Assembly in the case of tbe Bev. Dr. Woodrow. A world beater! La Criolla de Key West Cigar.
