Editor Harmon, of the McCormick News, recently visited Anderson, and this is what he says about two of ouajAcellent ladies: "It-was our fortunate privilege at Anderson last Saturday to visit Mrs. N. A. McCully, wife of pur friend, Mr. If. A. McCully, of our town/ She* is living In. one of the most lovely homes in that town, and we found' her to be one of the most entertaining ladies we had the pleasure of meeting. The aanie time we had the pleasure of meeting her daughter, Miss Carrie. Miss Carrie is certainly interest? ing, and in her manners she is almost un? surpassed," Pickeni Sentinel: "The city of Anderson has the best signs for solid prosperity. Though tbe factory and hotel schemes are good indicators, they are not tbe heat. She has scores of sober, steady, mdustrious young nieti who have cast in their-' for? tune3- with her, and planted themselves firmly upon thp platform of her prosperi? ty. About 20 of these young men are boarded at tbe beautiful borne of Mrs. Ayer, who thoroughly understands the art of providing for the pleasure and com? fort of her guests.

G. R.," writes to the Hartwell &?n about his recent'trip'to Anderson, as follows: "I thought I would tell you about my first trip to Anderson, ?. C. I went to the Firemen's Tournament there, and enjoyed myself tbe best in tbe world. Mr. Pack carried us all over the town. It Is a beauti? ful place?I believe I had rather live tbere than anywhere else?except Ecrt j well. Tbe Military School marched with [the1 Fire''Company, fbey made a big show dressed in their uniforms., Wish we could have a military school here. I went with papa and Mr. Paok to visit the Poor House, and was surprised to find so many fine houses tbere. It was a regular little town, and everything was so neat and clpan. I don't th|nlf the crops are a$ good over there as in Hart County. An? derson is a pretty dry town, but I saw one drunk man." The small boys of the city have organ? ized two fire companies, which they have named the v'Alert" and "New Hope." Master Sam. Sullivan is captain of the former and Master Fred. Nardin captain of the latter. On Tuesday the companies participated in a Tournament at Brown's pasture, on McDuffie street, and the occa? sion attracted quite a number of the boys and girls of the city. The boys were dressed in uniform, and entered into the contest with as much zeal and interest as if they were real firemen. The prizes offered varied from 5 cents to 25 cents, and in the contests they were about equally divided between the two companies. In the foot race Master Tom. Maxwell won the prize. The boys constructed their own reel and used a tin can for an engine. Mr. T. L. 0. Hall died at his home, three miles south of this city, last Friday morning, aged about 11 years. For the past eighteen years Mr. Hall has been afflicted with that terrible disease, cancer, which caused his death. He had been quite feeble for several weeks, and last Friday morning a sudden change came over him," and he peacefully" passed away while sitting in a chair. -For a long num? ber of years he was a consistent member of Fiat Bock Church, and was an upright, honorable citizen, whose death is deeply regretted by a host of friends and rela? tives. On Saturday his remains werec i terred at Flat Bock Church, thefunevl services being conducted by Rev. W. Hi. King. He leaves a wife, who lias the sym? pathy of. many friends in her bereave? ment. ',- . _jjThe Preliminary Investigations. The preliminary~healirTg~in "lhe~_eas8 of Mrs. M. E. Keese, charged with arson, in the burning of Mr. L. H. Seel's stables, was concluded last Thursday, and, after hearing-1 argument, Jostice Qnattlebanm sent the case to the Circuit Court. Appli? cation was made tp Judge Wallace for bail, and he fixed the bond at $2.500, which was given immediately, Mr. F. J. Felzer, of . Charleston, signing it. After Justice Quattlebaum had made his decision, the defendant's Counsel .read an affidavit:setting forth that he could not get justice in that Court, and asking that the other cases be transferred to Justice Ward law's Court, Justice Quattlebaum at once granted the request, but stated that he did not think the affidavit was true, as he had endeavored to give an impartial hearing to the case. - - On Saturday the case against Mrs. Keese for forgery was takerf up before Justice Wardlaw. In this case it is alleged she forged an order to W. A. Chapman with Mrs. Trowbridgc's name to it. The main witnesses against her in this case are two negroes; Wesley Vandiver and Tom. Nor ris, the latter having carried the order. The. preliminary hearing was continued through JMfonday, and was concluded Tuesday morn? ing. By request of the. defendant'? Coun? sel, Justice. Wardlaw reserved, his decision until the other charge of arson could be heard, so that In case both cases were sent to the Circuit Court, both bonds' could be given at the same time. The Justice inti? mated, however, that thejqase would be sent to the Circuit Court. ? The case against Mrs. Keese for setting fire'to Mrs. Bewley's house will be taken .up to-day. ? .. . T. M. Mordecai, Esq., of Charleston, is in the city, and is assisting in the defense. Detective Frank is still here, and Detective Shackelford has returned from Mac on.. Tbe preliminary hearings'attract a .large, crowd of spectators, and much interest is; manifested in them, "though the excite? ment is subsiding. - . Drowned Herself. Mrs. Alice Martin, wife of Mr. R. 0. Martin, who resides on Mr. Thos. C. Shearer's plantation, in Rock Mills Township, committed suicide by drown? ing herself in Seneca River, near Sloan's Ferry, on last Thursday afternoon. Mr. Martin, her husband, went to mill Thurs? day morning, and shortly after his depart? ure, Mrs. Martin went to a field, some distance from the house, to hoe. At noon Mr. Martin returned home, and about the time hQ.arrived there, a very angry oloud appeared In the distance. He inquired for Mrs. Martin,'and was told that she had gone to the field. Fearing that she might get caught in the storm, he went out to hurry her horue. He reached the field; where she had been at work, but could not hear 'anything of her. He then visited several neighboring houses, but he could not find her. By this time several of the neighbors joined him in the search. ?They returned'to the field where she had been at work, and followed some tracks which" were supposed to be hers. These "tracks led them to the' river, which was nearby. This, of course, created more anxiety about the woman. The river was dragged, but her body could not be found. The search was continued through .Friday and Saturday, but still nothing could be heard about the woman. On Sunday the searching party was increased, the river was again dragged, and in the afternoon, within a few feet of where the tracks were first seen, her body was dis? covered and immediately taken out of the water, which was about seven feet! deep. Coroner Nance was notified, and he went down and held the Inquest. Sunt day night. The jury, after hearing the evidence, rendered a verdict that she came to her death by drowning. There was no evidence of foul play. No pause can "be assigned for the suicide. Mrs. Martin was a stout, healthy woman, and was as cheerful as usual whon she left home Thursday. She had only been married to Mr. Martin since the 10th of May, and her married life seemed to be a happy one. Mr. Martin bears a good character, and says the suicide of his Wife is a deep mystery to him. '. 1. .??. y.jje UlgU Shoals Items,. We have been having some extremely warm weather for the past few days?just the kind of weather the farmers need to make their cotton and corn grow. We were favored with a splendid rain on last Thursday afternoon, which we were just beginning to need,. The wheat crop in this section was a complete'failure, fcut/'the oat fcrop is turn? ing off a splendid yield. With a good sup? ply of fried chicken and oats we are pre? pared to entertain the candidates. Mr. J. R. Anderson has the finest field of cotton wc have seen this year. II will average about 2J feet high. We are glad tp npte th^t our energetic fanner, Mr, W. A. McFali', who has been mostly confined to his room for the P&st six months, is now depidodly better. He is now able to look after his farm to some extent. We are in hopes he will soon re? gain his old health and vigor. Several of our young people attended the Due West Commencement and pro? nounced it, as usual, a grand success. Our excellent school $eacb.er,'MIgs Lizzie Anderson, is* attending the Normal Insti? tute at Grpeuvillp. iahe is eyer ready to improve every opportunity to better pre? pare herself for her duties as a teacher. The charming wife of Capt. H. A. Wil? liams, of Columbia, has been spending a few days in our midst, visiting her sister, Mrs. J. R. Anderson. One of our young men while outridiqg I with his girl the other aftorncon, told her how pretty she was. After thanking him very kiridly,' she told' him she was sorry she couldn't return the compliment, upon which be said if she bad. tola as bit/ a lib as behad, she could have returned it. We paid our old Sunday School, Eureka, a visit last Sunday afternoon, which we enjoyed ever so much. It was our pleasure to take charge of one of the numerous large classes, the pupils of which showed a thorough trainihg by the 'promptness with which they answered the nuasjiens we asketl/therr}. Jt'weuld bus great pleasure for us to be able to attend regularly, but as Eureka and High Shoals meet at about the same hour, we will have to content ourselves with an occasional visit, W.

The Executive Committee recommend the County Convention to hold the County Primary Election on August 10th?the same day as the Judicial Primary; and in case of a second County Primary, it be held on the same day as the second Judi cial' Primary. The following Committee was appointed to arrange for a County canvass, to wit: E. B. Murray, chairman ; R, W. Simpson. W. W. Humphreys, Geo. E. Prince and W. T. McGill. (The meetings appointed by this Committee will be hereafter pub? lished ) It was ordered that each Club be re? quired to send up to the County Chairman a certified list of its membership on or be? fore the day of tbe Convention, and that each Club failing to do so shall only be entitled to representation in the Conven? tion based on the- number of votes cast in said Club in the first Primary Election of _two years since. '-G_oT"Er-P.^C^^ecjr^_ryA Denver Items*. Crops, as a general thing, are considered . to. be somewbat backward this season. Cotton is making some headway growing since the nights are become so warm. Generally up land corn is not very good. Most farmors will not be through laying by before the latter part of this month. Mr. T. L. Reid departed this life after an illness -of several weeks about mid? night June 30th, and was buried on the foflowing day at the family burying ground, near Sandy Springs church, after appropriate funeral exercises by Rev. John B. Adger. As a citizen, Mr. Reid was high-toned, conscientious, honorable and upright, as a friend and neighbor he was kind, firm and obliging, and leaves many friends to mourn his death. He was laid to rest amid a vast concourse of sorrowing acquaintances. Miss Carrie Watkins' school closed on the 26th of June, after one of the most prosperous sessions in the history of the school. This seems to be a bad year for grapes. Mr. D. H. Green, manager of Mr. J. A. Daniels' vineyard, informs us that he thinks fully two-thirds of the grapes on the old vines are rotten. The day of paying dear for whistles is not entirely past, judging from the expe? rience of a neighbor in answering an ad? vertisement seen -in a popular paper lately. He was expecting to get a valua? ble lot of jewelry, such as gold watches, diamonds, &c., in addition to his dollar's worth of pure Java coffee. He got a tin can containing two or two and a half pounds of something purporting to be coffee, and a brass breast pin, worth prob? ably a nickel. The whole costing him a dollar and forty cents. Jay. Flat Rook Items. Miss Effie Hays is now on a visit to rela? tives in Elberton, Ga. Mr. J. A. Gray has the finest patch of pindars we have seen. Mr. Grief- T?te is now on a viBit to his sisters in Hart County, Ga. . Mr. John Drake has been quite ill for some time, but we are glad to know he is now better. Our crops are about two weeks later than usual,'out are looking well and growing finely. ? Mr. R. R. Beaty has the best cotton crop in this community. He is one of our most energetic farmers. We are authorized to say the public schools in this township will open on the 16th day July. A few days ago Mr. Edgar Hall was at? tacked by a mad dog. Mr. Hall did not see the dog until it was in a few feet of 'him ; he had no time to secure a weapon, and had to use his fist. He knocked the dog down three times, the last lick proving too much for the dog, as he traveled in a different direction when he recovered. Mr. Hall secured a gun and killed the dog. Qur community was saddened by the death of Mr. Crumley Hall, which oc? curred last Friday morning at his residence in this County after a long and painful illness of cancer. Mr. Hall was forty-one years old, and has suffered the most excru? ciating pain without a murmur. In his death his wife has lost a good hasband, tbe community a good citizen, the church a good member. His remains were Interred in the cemetery at this place, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. W. H. King. The bereaved wife and relatives have our sympathy^ FiAT? Fork. The weather is dry and the crops are suffering somewhat for want of moisture. ? Miss Cattle Gantt, of Townville, is vis? iting at Westminster this week. G. N. C. Boleman will open school at Pine Grove on Monday, July 9th. The Sunday school at Tngaloo has ar? ranged to have a basket pic nie at the springs near Mai. G. W. Maret's, on the third Saturday (20th ult.) in July, and the public generally is cordially invited to attend with well-filled baskets. Speakers will be present, and it Is hoped that tbe oocasion will be a pleasant one. Messrs. L. J. King and J. W. Grubbs, of this Township nave, by a singular coincidence, simultaneously produced, the same invention. It in a simple device in the way of a stock grazer, and both parties have filed ah application for pat? ent. The invention is a valuable one, and the question of rightj will doubtless Involve the parties in expensive litigation. Messrs. J. Monroe F?nt and Arlington C. Milford, of Patrick's Military school, and John W. Gaines, of Furman Univer? sity are, since the Commencement exer? cises; rusticating at their respective homes in this community. They are young men of fine character, and we wish them pleas? ant recreations at present, as well as health, happiness and prosperity in the future. It is said that liquor was sold publicly at different places in Anderson daring the recent Firemen's Tournament. May this not bo an explanation' of tbe fact that some of the visiting firemen "slept in the gutters?" It is also claimed that if the money wasted there for liquor had heeh judiciously expended upon the grassy Crops, that it 'would have benefited the County and the city of Anderson im? mensely more than did the tournament festivities. The ofilces of Townville and Boleman in this township will hencefbfi?i be sup? plied with daily mails. - During the past week this section has been well watered, apd the crop pros? pects c,t present arc somewhat flattering. ?'? '"?'_"""' ' Vox.

Mr. Jesse Fant has the finest cotton crop that we have seen. He alwrys makes cot? ton a surplus crop,, consequently he can bo numbered among our model farrnera. Our bachelor friend, Mr, D. 6. Vandi? ver, has gomo of the 'finest corn we have stun. Our friend understands tilling tbe soil. We think it proper to state just here that he is a homely young bachelor, and deserves a companion to share with him his mutual woes. Some of the fair sex would do well to proposo, as be would be easily captured, On Sunday aitcrnoc.n, 24th ult., we wont to lha Broadway'Schoof house with the expectation of hearing a sermon from Rev. M. Gassaway, aud in this we were not disappointed. Mr. Gassaway an? nounced for h}s text those stirring words from Isaiah 55:7. He handled his subject in a way that would have reflected credit on one of uiuob more experience. One of Neal's Creek popular young bachelors wished to accompany a young lady to Church a short time ago, and cent her a note to that elfcct. $n tne meantime he prepared ami "started without a reply. Much to bis surprise, and more to her'a, he found tha| he had arrived before his note. This ia^Wliat wo oall boating the record. It was our privilege to accompany Prof. Chas. Kay to Barker's Creek a few Sunday afternoons since to attend Sunday Soho.oh We can now join Prof. Kay in saying'that Barker's Creel; baa adh.ie of the most cbarrfling young ladles wb have ever-seen. JJpon our axrjvn.! the Prof, seemed to be in groat rear, as if something terrible was going to happen. Wo soon found out what that something was: another young man was with his best girl. They, soon decided to leave, and left poor Charles, ia despair. He seemed very cad and 'lorfely on our return home,' " McK i Democratic Club Mooting.

A meeting of the Club will also be held on Saturday, July 2lst, to which all the can? didates are invited. Tho Club desires to become acquainted with them. D. C. McConnell, President, Let the People Know. Messrs. Editors : I notice that Mr. J. H. McConnell, in his card announcing him? self a candidate for tbe office of Sheriff, has something to say about having saved the County a large sum of money while holding that important office. As this is a matter of some interest to our people generally, and especially to me, as I am unacquainted with the facts of the case, I call upon Mr. McConnell to explain through the County papers how this saving was effected. 1 would say that I am not a can? didate, neither am I the only person who is in ignorance of this matter, or I would have gone to Mr, McConnell personally. The statement asked for is, I think, due both to the gentleman making this claim and to the people, so that they can cast their votes in the interest of public econ? omy._ X. Survivors' Meeting. Mr. Editor: The first annual meeting of the Anderson County Survivors' Asso? ciation will take place at Keys' Spring on Saturday, the 2lst July inst. We hope to make it an occasion of unusual interest, j Associate Justice McGowan, himself a gallant soldier of two wars, and a great fa? vorite with our people, has consented to be present and make a talk to the veterans. There will, perhaps, be others who will address the Association, but our purpose is to make the occasion a social one, and the speeches will not be set speeches. - -Every'elii-Hoidier now. residing in An? derson County is Invited to become a menv ber of the Association, and all survivors, their families and friends?in fact, every? body are invited to be present with their baskets, prepared to have a good time. The Young America Cornet Band will furnish the music for the day. W. W. Humphreys, President. Saloda Baptist Sunday School Institute..

Editors;: I was invited by the pastor of Mt Sinai colored Methodist Church, to be with his people on the 2nd Sabbath in this montb, and deliver an address. It was Children's Day. The-] -day was bright and beautiful. A large congregation assembled. The good order that prevailed speaks well for the Church there. The well prepared programme was followed very well. I was pleased to hoarjittle children repeat verses of Scripture correctly, and then give the book, chapter and verse. It all showed that they,, had been well taught. Children thus instructed, whether white or colored, are not likely to come to a bad end. This is what we need to-day all over the land, and, if parents will begin in time, not wait tall Satan'has taken possession of j the heart, her barrooms will go-faster than they are going, the Sabbath will be better observed, Sabbath trains will cease to run on the Holy Day, disturbing wor? shipping congregations, and causing crowds of idlers ;o gather about every little depot, instead of going to preaching. I will never take stock in a company that will thus violate the command?"Re? member tbe Sabbath day to keep it holy." I trust the members at Mt. Sinai will con? tinue this good work. \ enjoyed the good singing. - TQe whole. services of the day proved that the pastor is trying to build up his people in spiritual religion, and I trust his labors will be blessed. W. A. Hodqes. A "Woman's Discovery. "Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by a lady in the county.' Disease fastened its dutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were. under? mined and death seemed imminent For three months sho coughed incessantly, and could not sleep, She nought of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump? tion and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miracuously cured. Her name Is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus write W. C. Hamrick & Co., of Shelby, N. C?Get a free trial bqttle at Hill Bros. Drug Storp. 5 : . 2 The Verdict Unanimous. W. D. Suit, Druggist, BippuB, Ind., tes? tifies : "I can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of 10 years' standing." Abraham Hare, druggist, Belleville, Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medicine I have ever handled in my 20 years' experi? ence, is Electric Bitters." Thousand of others have added their testimony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bit? ters do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kid? neys or Blood. Only a half dollar a.t Hill Bros.

I have used Alcock's Porous Plasters in my family for the past five years, and can truthfully say they are a valuable remedy and effect great cures. I would not be without them. I have in several instances given some to friends suffering with weak and lame backs, and they have invariably j afforded certain and speedy relief. They cannot be too highly commended. > Edmund L. Pitts. Now Has Faith. I had beeiftroubled all Winter with cold and pain in the chest and got no relief from ' remedies reccommended by Druggists and Physicians. At the game time I was adver I tising Dr. Bosanko's Cough and Lung I Syrup.
