Several young gen? tlemen we. wot of show outward symp? toms of the malady. Let 'er go, Galla? gher. Anderson paid more for her firat bale of new cotton than any other town'in upper Carolina. Our farmers should make a note of this, and ever bear in mind that there is no better market in the State than Anderson. The attention of our readers is directed to the advertisement of the Honea Fath High School. Prof. Watkins stands very high as a teacher, and parents who put their children under him may rest assured that they will be thoroughly taught. A little negro hoy, while rifling down Main street on top of a wagon loaded with lumber last Monday, attempted to jump off the wagon, when he was accidently i thrown under the wheel, which passed ' over his body and broke one of his legs. Mr. J. G. Cor, of the JFoTk Township, who for some time past has been engaged in business at Denison, Texas, has recent? ly sold his interest there and returned to this country. Mr. Cox represents Texas as a fine country, and states that the pres? ent crop prospects are, indeed, flattering. An infant daughter of Mr. S. G. Sterl? ing, of Hope well Township, died on Sun? day, 12th inst., after a brief illness, and was interred on Monday, following at Bea verdanv Church, Rev. Dr. Frierson con? ducting the funeral service. The be? reaved parents have many sympathizers in their bereavement. We invite the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Messrs. Barton & Townsend. These gentlemen have always in stock a large supply of lumber, (dressed or undressed), shingles, sash, blinds, &c, which they .will sell at low prices. They also keep'a stock of ready mixed paints. If yon need anything in their line, give them a call. Mr. Sam'l Daniels, who has been en? gaged in business at Walhalla for several months'past, spent Monday in the city with his parents, ou his way to Darling? ton, where he has accepted a position in the jewelry store of Mr. J. H. Mason. Mr. Daniels is a worthy young man, and his friends in Anderson wish him suc? cess in his new home. . The road leading from Five Forks to Pendle ton Factory is said to be one of the best worked roads in the County.. Mr/ W. G. Smith has charge of that road, and he works it strictly acoording to law. Persons who have travelled over itsay they think it wonld benefit some of the over? seers in other sections of the County to go there and see the road. Miss Lizzie Williams, accompanied by her brother, Mr. Berry Williams, left the city Tuesday for the Northern markets, where she goes to lay in her stock of fall and winter goods. Miss Lizzie -will buy a larger stock than usual, and her lady friends and customers may prepare them? selves to see many new and novel goods when her stock arrives. Easley Messenger: "We witnessed some? thing a little unusual last week'. Mr. Enoch Pepper, who lives in Anderson County, brought to town a two-horse load of corn from his farm', and sold tt to Mr. W. M. Hagood.' For many years past the good people of Anderson, (and even in Abbeville), would come to Pickens in the summer after corn ; but things seem to have changed." Miss Jane Watkins died at the home of "ber brother; Mr. Wm. Watkins, in Garvin Township, on Sunday, 12th inst., and was buried at the old family burylng ground on the day following, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. Mr. Clarkson. Miss Watkins was about 65 years of ago, and had never connected herself with the church. She wac highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends. Be sure to note the no w advertisement of the Anderson Machine Shops. Dr. Divver, the proprietor, is working up a fine business, and tells us that he is getting v.'ork from several sections of the State. He repairs all sorts of machinery, and keeps in stock many articles needed by persona who nse machinery. If your machinery needs repairing bring it to the Anderson Machine Shops and patronize a home industry. The Lebanon High School will close its session to-day, (Thursday), and an inter? esting meeting has been arranged for the occasion. Dr. Manly, of Geeenville, W, <<D. Bsnet, of Abbeville, Rev. A. A. Mar? shall, Maj. E. B. Murray and Col. J. G. Clinkscales, of this city, have been invited to deliver addresses on the subject of edu? cation. The meeting will be held at Leb? anon Church, and will begin at 11 o'clock.1 A cordial invitation is extended to the public to attend. The Greenville-News, of Sunday, says: "The former residence of R. F. Stewart, a j desirable piece of property on. Washing i ton street, was sold Thursday by Julius ! C, Smith to H. G. Anderson, of Anderson, S. C. The price paid was $2,400 cash. Mr. Anderson has only recently returned from the West after a stay of a year or two in that part of the world, and con? cluding that his native land is the best country to live in, invests his money here as a business undertaking." Misses Rosebud and Jessie Miller, of Talladega, Ala., are visiting the family of their uncle; Mr. R. H. Anderson, near Plercetown. They came to Carolina about two months.ago, and have been vis? iting relatives in both Greenville and Anderson Counties. They are charming, amiable and accomplished young ladies, and we hope they will be so favorably impressed with old Carolina and some of her gallant sons that they will conolude to take up a permanent residence In this section. Last Monday morning a difficulty oc? curred between Mr. Emory Green and Mr. D. M. Stephens at Mr. J. S. Fowler's star ble, in which Mr. Fowler became engaged in trying to keep Stephens and Green separated, The result was that Mr. Ste? phens got considerably mutilated at the hands of Mr. Fowler. At one timo it looked as if a serious combat might ensue, but owing to the prompt aotion of Trial Justice Wardlaw and Mayor Tribble the peace of the city was preserved and good order restored. Miss Clara Gantt died of paralysis at the residence of her brother, Mr. John C. 'Gantt, in Fork Township, on Thursday, 23rd inst, aged G3 years. The deceased had been a consistent member of the Methodjst Churoh for forty-five years, and her whole life had been one of simple purity. She leaves many relatives and a host of friends to lament ber decease. On Friday her remains were interred at Smith's Chapel, at which place her mem? bership had ever been, the funeral servi? ces being conducted by Rev. C. V. Barnes, assisted by Rev. J. Walter j}ickson. Last Friday morning Robert W. Arnold was arrested by the Sheriff on an order from Judge Norton, and carried to Wal? halla to show cause why he should not be adjudged in contempt for removing his child from the custody of Mrs. .Thompson, to whom the Court had ararded it. Messrs. Prince <fc Vandiver and Brown & Tribble represented Arnold, and Murray, Breazeale & Murray were the attorneys for Mrs. Thompson. On the hearing, Mr. Arnold was discharged on the ground that the papers had not been attes ted by the Court. It is said that the cose is not yet ended. While the clients fight for the principle, the lawyers fight for the jnlercst. It is an ill wind that blows good to no one. ?We had a pleasant call from Mr. J. M. Baker, of the Lowndesville Advertiser, on Tuesday. He was on his way home from North Carolina in company with Mrs. : Baker, who has been spending some time in that State for then benefit of hei health. The Charleston Budget, of Sunday, con? tains the following: "Mr. H. M. Ayer, of the World Budget staff, will sever his con? nection with this office to-day, and leaves this week to take the position of night editor on the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer' Sun. Mr. Ayer has been with the World since its birth, and has proved himself a a live, first-class newspaper man, and his departure will be greatly regretted by the many friends he has made in Charleston. The World and the Budget wish him every success in his new field of labor." Mr Ayer's friends io this city will be glad to ?hear of his promotion. The first bale of new cotton was sold in the' city last Friday, 24th inst. It was made by Capt. P. B. Allen, of Savannah Township, and was sold to the S. Bleck ley Co. for 15 cents. The cotton was classed strict middling, and the bale weighed 782 pounds. Capt. Allen sold the first balo last year. The bale this year was ginned on the same day of the month as the bale of lost year was, but it was one day later in getting to the market. This looks as if the crop is as early as last year. Capt. Alleu is one of Anderson County's j most progressive young farmers, and he expects to harvest about 150 bales of cot? ton this year. Perhaps one of the most pleasant enter? tainments of its kind that has ever been given in Anderson was the Lawn Party which was given by the young gentlemen of the Ayer House last Friday evening. The young gentlemen had issued neatly printed invitations to their friends of both sexes, and quite a crowd was present to enjoy the occasion. Mrs. Ayer kindly tendered the use of her spacious residence and yard, and did everything in her power to make a success of the occasion. The yard was illuminated with Chinese lan? terns, and comfortable seats were arranged here and there over the grounds for the accommodation of the promenaders. The large dining-room was used by the merry dancers, who made good use of the time, sweet music being rendered by the Italian Band. The Young America Cornet Band was also present, and at intervals render? ed some of its best music. About.11 o'clock delicious refreshments were served, after which dancing, promenading, court? ing, etc., were entered into with renewed energy by the merry couples, who lingered until a late hour, when they departed, each having a bright spotjndellibly fixed on memory's tablet, commemorative of this event. A correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier, under date of August 22nd, says: "A brilliant wedding took place in the Presbyterian Church at Fickens C. H. to-day, the contracting parties being Dr. Frank Smith, of Slabtown, Anderson County, and Miss Ida Hollingsworth, a beautiful and accomplished daughter of Capt. C L. Hollingsworth, of Pickens. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Riley, pastor of the church, in the presence of a large concourse of the best people of Pickens. It was quite a select affair. The church was teautifully deco? rated. The bridesmaids wore very hand? some costumes, and the ceremony was exceedingly interesting and" impressive. The groomsmen were: J. F.. Lewis, of Greenville; Mr. Smith", brother of the groom ; Dr. Jesse Morgan, of Dacusville; Dr. Watkins, of Pendlcton ; the Hon. John Harris, of Virginia, and Frank Mauldin, of Pickens, a West Point cadet. ?The bridesmaids were: Mi3S Lncie V. Hagood, of Charleston ; Miss Cora Lee Hagood, of Birmingham; two Misses Sollingsworth, sisters of the bride ; Miss Carrie Bruce and Miss Mary Riley, of Fickens. Dr. Smith and wife left soon after the ceremony for Saratoga and other Northern resorts." A few days ago, in a certain section of our County, four young ladies concluded that they would like to learn the art of swimming, and late in the afternoon tbey visited a small pond near by and were soon exerting all their strength and energy' to learn how to swim. A spring-board had been arranged on the bank of the pond, and one of the young ladies, who had fre? quently been into the water before and. could swim a little, could dive very grace? fully from it. One of her companions concluded that diving was very nice sport, and that she would like to learn it too, but hesitated some time before she could be induced to walk out on the spring-board. Finally she ventured out, with fear and trembling, and, while standing there de? bating in her own mind whether ghe would dive into the water, which was about five feet deep, she accidentally fell into it. As She tumbled over she screamed, which frightened her companions, who ran to her rescue, and in a few seconds thoy had hold of her feet and pulled her to the shore. The young lady was badly fright? ened, and thinks her companions saved her from drowning. Her head stuck into the mud, and she vows it took her a day or two to get the mud out of her hair. She says she has took her first lesson in swimming and diving, but thinks it will be the lost. Last Sunday, in company with Mr. N. R. Green, we had the pleasure of attend? ing services at Beaverdara Church, four miles west of Williametorj. A series of religious meetings had been in progress there for more than a week, being conduct? ed by Rev. G. M. Rogers, Rev. Mr. Ver miilioh and others, and their labors had not been in vain. More than thirty per? sons professed conversion, twenty-five of whom were baptised Sunday morning. The crowd in attendance on Sunday was so large that two services were held at the same time, one in the Church and the other in the grove near by. From the Church we went to th6 hospitable home of our clever friend, Capt. R. H. Anderson, where we enjoyed a very fine dinner and spent a most pleasant afternoon in compa? ny with some charming young ladies. Capt. Anderson is one of Anderson Coun? ty's best citizens and most successful far? mers, and has a beautiful home and farm. He and his happy family know how to make one's stay under their roof pleasant. Our trip was so highly enjoyed that we will go back into that section again when the flr3t opportunity presents itself. We returned home Sunday evening, and since then friend Green has been contending that there is nothing sweeter than a Rose? bud, while this writer argues that there is nothing sweeter or more beautiful than a Jcssicminc. The Plo Nlc at Cooler's Bridge, ft is not often that we spend a more pleasant day in tho country than we spent at the pic nio at Cooloy's Bridge last Thursday. Wo loft the city early Thurs? day morning in company with E. Z. Long, Esq., and were among the first to reach the place. Soon, however, the peo? ple wore coming in from every direction, and ia a short time a largo crowd, vari? ously estimated at from five tosevon hun? dred, had collected. The pic nie proper took place on an island just below the bridge, and wo don't think we have ever seen a more beautiful or appropriate place for a pic nie. The island embraces about four acres of land, is high and dry and beautifully shaded. On the Anderson County side a substantial foot bridge had been built across the stream to the island. A stand had-.been erected on the island, and about 11 o'clock the crowd congiega ted here. to listen to the speakers of-the day. Maj. Ira C. Williams, of Belton, presided, and introduced as the first speaker Rev. A. A. Marshall, of this city, who delivered a very fine and interesting speech on the subject of tomperance. He was followed by Messrs. M. F. Ansel and W.'C. McGowan, candidates for Solicitor, who entertained the audience in a very interesting manner on the progrcssiveneas of our country, etc. J. E. Breazeale, Esq., candidate for the Legislature, was next introduced, and he also made one of his best efforts. At the conclusion of Mr. Breazeale's speech, Mr. 31. P. Clinkscales, who was on the ground, was called for, but he did not respond. Dinner was next on the programme, and of course every one present was ready for it. We had numerous invita? tions to dine, and regretted that we could not accept all of them. Everybody seemed to fare well. The afternoon was spent in various ways. Those who desired to participate in tbe merry dance went over to the Greenville side, where they danced to their heart's content. The candidates for both political and matrimonial honors put in good time in social conversation,-prome? nading, etc. That night a lawn party was given at the same place, and quite a number of the young people remained there to enjoy it. The island was illuminated with Chinese lanterns and bon-fires, and presented a most beautiful scone. Dancing was again indulged in, and it was a late hour before the merry crowd dispersed. Messrs. J. M. Cox and E. H. Poore cer? tainly deserve the thanks of every one who was present. These gentlemen had provided every comfort and convenience for the entertaiument of the crowd, and did everything possible to make all enjoy the occasion. The pic nie was certainly a success in every particular. Real's Creek Items. Farmers are very busy at present pulling fodder, and the cotton patches are begin? ning to whiten, even unto the harvest. Truly, there is no rest for the wicked. James A. Major, Esq., has one of the finest bodies of-nottom-land corn in this section. Our clever young friend, Mr. J. Macey King, of the Cherokee section, is now en? gaged as salesman for Messrs. Stringer & Poore at Belton. Mr. W. H. Simpson's school at this place will close Friday, 31st inst., after which he will return to his home in Lau rens County for a few weeks' recreation, and then enter Furman University, Mr. Simpson's stay in our midst, though brief, has made him many warm friends, whose best wishes will follow him wherever his lot may be cast in life. A series of religious meetings are expected to begin at Neal's Creeek next Saturday. Married, on Sunday evening, 12th inst., by Eev. R. M. King, Miss Maggie McCoy ' and Mr. Pleasant Strickland. Mr, D. H. Woodson has the earliest cot? ton in this section. He has been picking for several days. Maj. J. N. Vandiver is, ?at this writing, in the city by the sea. The leisure season has closed and very little road working" has been done in these parts. Mrs. W. P. Kay has lately returned home from a few weeks' visit in Franklin County, Ga., with her daughter, Mrs, Cal laham, * CraytonvlUe Items. Tho sudden change in the weather a few days since has given a great many in this community a severe cold. J. W. Adams, who went to Texas on the excursion, is back homo again. He is not very favorably impressed with the country. He had been there but a days when he was taken with a chill. Mr. Joshua Ashley, who has been in bed nearly two years from paralysis, is very low, and cannot live much longer. ? Farmers are devoting all the day, and a part of the night, gathering fodder. The average farmer is guessing about how much be is going to . make this year. Some are calculating to know how much they will have after Bleckley, Brown & Fretwell have taken their pay j. some are calculating to know how much they will like paying off C. F. Jones, Fowler and others, and some are calculating to know- what kind of a new buggy they will be able to buy. It will not oo long ere the farmer's money .will begin to circulate, but it will circulate so fast that a great many will not be bene? fited any thereby. One of our neighbors used from 125 to 150 pounds of guano to the acre this year,. and will not make as good cotton as tbe same piece did lost year without any fertilizer at all. The protracted meeting will begin at Barker s Creek on Sunday night, the 2nd prox. If the number of weddings this fall be in proportion to the number of new bug? gies In this community, there will be quite a number to cross the matrimonial stream and embark in tbe untried pleas? ures of t?e future. One young man has already a home in view, and says he don't intend to live alone. A certain young man went to see his girl not long since, and during the even? ing he and his girl and some others went into the orchard, which was very large, and contained a great variety of fine frnit. The young lady was acquainted with the orchard, and showed tbe others where to find some good peaches, but she carried her gallant down to the lower side where there was some still nicer peaches. For a short time all were silent, and tbe orchard was deprived of some nice fruit. After a while the happy couple were heard saying something about Adam and Eve. The hearers could scarcely with? hold, but as it was the "Sabbath," and the couple seemed to be so deeply interested speaking of things which they had learned from tbe "good book," they con? cluded it best to remain silent. Our friend, D. R. Simmons, has been to see his relatives, near TownvlJle, twice since holidays came in. Some of the ladies in this community are wondering if there is not some pretty girls near Townville. We wduld say there are. There is a young man in this section, who confesses that he was always bashful when in company with young ladies, until the Association at Barker's Creek. He went every day, and the ladies all seemed to be partial, to him. We remem? ber seeing him several times, and each time he was entertaining from two to five ladies. He says it made a man of him. Ckate. A Oavd, Boleman, S. C., August 27, 7888. Mn. Editor: Since the publication of my .recent reply to Mr. R. W. Todd, I have conferred with a number of gentle? men who road .Mr. Todd's letter to which I made reference therein ; and while all agree that tbe statement of my informant was substantially correct, there is'some dif? ference of opinion as regards the exact words in which the charge against me was made. Some claim that Mr. Todd used the word "fraudulent," others insist that bo used tho word ^crookedness" or "crooked." The gentleman to whom the letter was written informs me that Mr. Todd used the expression, "tripped me in j some of my crookedness." However, all agree that tbe statement of my informant (Mr. J. D. Compton) is substantially cor? rect, as the nature of the charge is in no way affected, since the word "crooked? ness" used in that conuection could mean nothing else than fraud. Hence, in order to forestall misrepresentations, and with a yiew of dqing justice to a({ conepmeef, I cheerfully make this couoossion?if con? cession it be. Respectfully, Gr. N. C. Boleman.

The Elders' and Deacons' Conference met according to appointment at Mt. Zion Church August 10, 1883, and was called to order by the chairman, W. K. Boggs. The secretary being absent, the chair appointed S, G. Sterling to act as secretary. The roll of Churches being called the following re? sponded : Liberty, Mt. Zion and Midway, The Executive Committee failing to pub? lish questions for discussion, Bro. A. B. Bowden moved that L. W. Gentry and J, W. Bowden be appointed to select ques? tions for discussion. The Conference took a recess until after night services. We were greatly refreshed by the sermon of our chairman, after which he called the Con? ference to order, and heard a partial report of the committee. Then took a recess un? til 10 o'clock August 11,1888. The Conference was called to order by the chairman at the hour appointed. W.H. McCarley, of Townville, and J. L. McLin were invited to sit as visiting members. The committee to select questions sub? mitted the following report: Question 1. Is Sabbath observed properly by our Churches in general? 2. Should singing conventions and like assemblies be held in the Church on the Sabbath day ? 3. What care should older Church-members exer ercise toward converts to encourage them in their Christian life? 4. What should superintendents and teachers of Sabbath Schools do to secure promptness ? 5. Are church fairs, festivals, &c, consistent with the Word of God? The questions were discussed with much interest. The Executive Committee was empow? ered to appoint time and place for the next meeting, and also to select questions for discussion, and publish the same in the Anderson and Pickens papers one month before the next meeting of the Conference. Adjourned. W. K. Boggs, Chm'n. S. G. Sterling, Sec. To the Public, Me. Edito"b : In Mr. Boleman's article in yonr issue of the 23d instant are a num? ber of unfounded allegations. It is not true that the detection of a school claim occurred about four years ago, just before the election, as the date on the duplicate in the office will show. ~ It is not true that I promptly approved that claim, and that the claim was negotia? ted at the Bank on the same day. I refer to Col. J. N. Brown. It is not true that I sent him (Mr. Bole man) an insulting message by W.S. Wool | -bright, Esq. I refer to Col. Brown. It is not true that I at any time gave my sanction to the practice of one Trustee signing another's name. It is not true that I occupied the stand thirty minntes to make his neighbors be? lieve he was guilty of forgery. I refer to the audience. It is not t- ue that I ever accused -him of an attempt to commit fraud, his repeated assertions to the contrary notwithstanding*. It is not true that any such language was used in the letter written to a friend as Mr. Boleman attributes to me. I refer to R S. Fant and W. F. M. Fant, Esq. It is not true that I ever privately or pub? licly threatened to indict him for commit? ting fraud. It is not true that I ever assailed the character of Mr. Boleman, and if his char? acter is injured it has been done by his own declarations. In conclusion I would simply say that Mr. Boleman's letter, as a whole, is of such a character that I decline entering upon an exhaustive review of it, deeming the fore? going as much as a reasonable public would expect. B. W. Tonn. History of the United States. Rev. W. G. Rollins, of South Carolina, is in Anderson in the interest of a Revised and Enlarged History of the United States from the Aboriginal times to the present day. Embracing an account of the Abo? rigines; the Norseman in the New World ; the discoveries by the Spaniards, English, and French; the planting of | settlements; the growth of the Colonies; the struggle of Liberty in the Revolution; the Establishment of the Union; the De? velopment of the Nation ; the Confeder? ate War; the Centennial of Independence; and the recent Annals of the Repnblic The whole brought down to the year 1887. by Dr. John Clark Redpatb. illustrated with maps, charts, portraits, and dia? grams.

Morgan, merchant, Lake City, Fla., was taken with a severe Cold, attended with a distressing Cough and run? ning into Consumption in its first stages. He tried many so-called popular cough remedies and steadily grew worse. Was reduced in flesh, had difficulty in breath? ing, and was unable to sleep. Finally tried Dr. King's New Discovery for Con? sumption and found immediate relief, and after using about a half dozen bottles found himself well and has had no return of the disease. No other remedy can show so graud a record of oures, as Dr. King's New Discovery for.Consumption guaran? teed to do just what is claimed for it.? Trial bottle free at Hill Bros.
