is an excellent paper, well deserving the
liberal-support of the farmers of the State.

President Cleveland's letter of accep?
tance was given to the Associated Press
in Washington on last Sunday night, and
our sprightly little neighbor, the Green
vLlle News', issuod an extra edition Mon?
day morning containing the letter in full.
This was was quite enterprising on the
part of our neighbor and was highly ap?
preciated by its readers throughout the
Piedmont section.

. Note carefully the new advertisement
of Mr. John M. Hubbard & Bro. The
senior member of this firm has just re?
turned from the North, where he has
purchased the largest stock of jewelry,
-watches,.clocks, silverware, china ware,
etc., that has ever been brought to An?
derson. These goods are arriving daily,
and it-is a treat to visit their store and see
them. Few cities in the South can boast
of auch an establishment, as these gentle?
men own.
There was a case of robbery in the city
last Tuesday afternoon, near the Savan?
nah Valley depot. Two negro boys by
force took from. Mr. T. D. Sloan's little
hoy, aged about 12 years, a satchel contain?
ing $10,00. They were soon captured by
Policemen McGruder and the money re?
covered. The case was settled Tuesday by
a colored parson of the. city taking the
boys from the'calaboose and giving them
about forty lashes. This was probably the
best settlement that could have been made
of the case.
We invite yonr attention to the adver?
tisement of Messrs. Cunningham Bros.,
which appears' elsewhere. These gentle?
men are daily receiving their stock of fall
and winter dry goods, boots, shoes, hats,
groceries, etc., which they are determined
to sell, and they will make it to the inter?
est of every one of our readers to call and
inspect these goods. This is oneofonr
most reliable firms, and persons trading
with them may rest assured -of always
getting the full value of their money.
Yesterday frank Chester was tried before
Trial Justice Wardlaw for rescuing a calf
.that had been impounded while trespass?
ing. The judgment was guilty andVa fine
of five dollars, the least fine allowable, im?
posed. It would be well for this to he
remembered, that it is a misdemeanor to
take stock from the possesion of one who
has captured them while trespassing on
his property. The law directs the course
of proceedure, and it should be followed
out. The calf in this case was not worth
more than a dollar or two. The law
must be respected.

The Greenville News, of last Thursday,
says: "A photograph of the running team
of the Pioneer Hook and Ladder Company,
of Anderson, handsomely framed and let?
tered, has bpen presented to the Pioneer
Hook and Ladder Company, of this city.
The team pictured is the one that captured
the first prize in the truck contest at the
Anderson Tournament last Spring, the
Greenville Pioneers taking second prize.
The presentation of the picture is very
much appreciated by the Greenville truck
men, who are always on the best of terms
with the Anderson comrades, and who en?
joyed immensely their trip to the Ander?
son Tournament. The picture will be
hung in the hall of the Pioneer Company."
We started to Columbia last Thursday,
but owing to several washouts between
Chappels and Newberry we did not get
farther than the former place, where we
spent five or six very long hours, when
our train was ordered to return to Green?
ville. There were about twenty-five pas?
sengers on the train, which v/as in charge
of Conductor'Hughes, who, by his pleas?
ant disposition; did everything possible
for: the comfort of all. 'He certainly im?
pressed all the passengers as being a most
congenial and agreeable conductor. Chap
pels is rather a deserted-looking place.
There are several stores there, but no one
resides in the town. For a time it
. seemed that our train would have to
remain there for a day or two, and with
no place to sleep or to get anything to eat,
! bur anticipations were not so' pleasant:
'.About dark-Conductor Hnghes received
orders to return to Greenville. Most of
the pa&senyera came back to Ninety-Six
and Greenwood, and several to Greenville.
Wo came back to Belton, where we spent a
few hours, and came home next morning
on the- freight train. We hope not to
have another similar day's experience.
Mrs. Rachel McFall died at the home
of her son, Mr. W. A. McFall, in thiB
County last Saturday morning after a very
brief illness, Mrs. McFall had reached
the ripe old age of sg years, and had been
quite feeble for the past three years, but
was not confined to her bed only a few
hoars before her death. She was the
relict of the late Andrew McFall, and was
well known throughout the County. She
has resided in our midst all her life, and
she has a host of friends and relatives
throughout the County who will regret to
hear of her death, for she was highly es
teemed by every acquaintance. Mrs.
McFall was from the days of her girlhood
a faithful and zealous member of the
Presbyterian Church, and always illus?
trated the virtues of a Christian woman?
hood. ? Amiable and' devoted in her do?
mestic relations, she was the light, the
comfort and the joy of a happy home.
She was always kind, cheerful and chari?
table, and ever ready to assist the poor and
the distressed. Her remains were laid to
rest in the Presbyterian cemetery, in this
city, on Sunday afternoon, Dr. Frierson
conducting the funeral services. Her loved
ones weep not as those without hope, for
they know that their loss has been her
eternal gain.- -
The Work of the Bains.
Anderson Connty has been wet for the
last two weeks beyond all questioning.
There were about two weeks that we did
not have "an unclouded" day. Every
stream has been full to overflowing, and
along Deep Creek and Seneca River im?
mense damage has been done to the corn
crop. Mr. Duck Bolt has lost about 2,000
bushels of corn. Messrs. Robert Martin,
Thomas Shearer and others have also lost
heavily. Our public roads have been
washed very much, and those that were
fresh worked are left in worse fix than be?
fore they were worked.
The railroads in this section have been
washed and so injured that'no mails have
oome for several days, except from toward
Atlanta, Ga. There has been no-train
over the Savannah Valley Railroad since
Monday. The train which left Anderson
that day is between two washouts, near
Little River, and consequently unable to
move out either way, It is not jet known
when the trains will begin to run on this
road. There has been but one through
train to Columbia over the C. & G. RR.
since "Wednesday of last week. There are
several washout? on the road, and the
trestle over Ninety-Six Creek is washed
away. It ? is 'impossible to ascertain just
where and what the damages are. The
telegraph wires on both roads are down.
As will be seen, from another column,
Augusta, Ga., is under water.
We have been unable to get full accounts
of the result of the rains, owing to the
failure of the mails. It is safe to say we
have had the greatest rain-fall overseen
here in two weeks.
Craytonvlllo Items.
Owing to the incessant rains of late, the
business on the farm has entirely stopped.
Considerable damage has already been
done to early cotton,-and in some sections,
bridges have been swept away and corn
waBhed-down.
The "Farmers' Alliance"' is being
talked up in this community, and it
seems to meet strong approbation gener?
ally. We think it is time for the slum?
bering farmers to wake up and be attend?
ing to things which pertain directly to
their interest. Why should they be led
or governed by manufacturers? why
should they be forced by monopolists to
indulge in the practice of such extortion
atesas tend not only to damage the far?
mers of the present age, but to place them
still farther down the road of helplessness ?
We hope every farmer in the County
has read "What the farmers of Georgia are
going to do to help themselves" in regard
to the cotton bagging trust which appear?
ed in the Issue of September 6th.
Notwithstanding the inclement weather
and the unusually small congregations,
the meeting at - Barker's Creek. has been
blessed. A goodly number have united
with the Church. The pastor has been
assisted by Rev. Mr. Mendenhall.
We are glad to state that Miss. Mamie
Robinson is gradually recovering from the
long period of sicknes which has been
her sad lot to endure.
The members of Bethany have com?
pleted the ceiling of the Church.
The old time darkey is busy making
baskets, and it will not be many days ere
the fleecy staple will be gathered and
squeezed for traveling.
? The farmers of this community are not
much lovers of cotton. We generally
make some for marketing purposes, but
as for corn and bacon, we don't intend to
sell a single particle.
j. U. Mitchell has the largest hog we
have seen this season. It is only ten
months old, and will weigh three hun?
dred pounds.
We notice some of our neighbors are
digging pinders. It is said that the Span?
ish peanut will sprout if not dug as soon
as ripe.
Muscadines are getting ripe, and the
young folks are expecting their usual
share of them. Persimmons and locusts
are ripening, too, and the opossum will
be caught?then "taters" and "sop" will
be the hunter's dish.
On last Monday J. M. Mitchell asked
several neighbors to help cover a new set
of stables. While engaged in the work,
several hands were on a scaffold about
twelve feet high, when all at once the
scaffold gave way, and down It went,
helter-skelter, with five hands . with it,
including H. W. Shaw, J. W. Banister,
James Banister, B. P. Mitchell and Mon?
roe Banister. Fortunately no one was
seriously injured Monroe Banister re?
ceived a slight cut on tbe head, and James
A. Banister was considerably bruised by
some of the party falling on him.
' Three B's seems to be very popular, but
the young ladies say they are going to
abandon four B's, providing it means
"bang9, batchelors and bashful beaux."
There is a young man in the neighbor?
hood of Mt. Bethel, who seems very much
attached to Barker's Creek. Wc venture
to say he has a sweetheart near there. We
don't know whether the young lady
invites him to her home or not; nor do
we know how often he goes to see her,
but we know that the young lady's sister
invites him very frequently. 0! for a
sweetheart, who has a kind sister.

We have had along wet spell, which
has done considerable damage to the
crops. Cotton is injured by the bolls that
were open sprouting and those just cracked
rotting. A large amount of fruit has also
been thrown off on account of so much
rain. Corn in low bottoms is almost
wholly destroyed, and a large amount of
fodder has been lost. We hear of some
damage to bridges and mill-dams, viz:
The bridge over Three and Twenty,.near
the Earle place, washed away. The
bridge over Six and Twenty, near J. W.
Majors, partly gone. The bridge over
Hembree creek, near J. Belton Watson's,
washed down, also bridge on same creek,
near Walter Hembree's, abutment gone.
The ubutment of Mr. T. R. Simpson's

You may. say what you please about
babies, but I can't Bee how any one can
keep house without one. However, I
jkuow a gentleman who has been without
one at his house for nearly nineteen long
years, and he has not murmured. He no
doubt is in possession of some .of old
Job's patience, and consoled himself with
the thought, "blessed is he that endureth
to the end.'' Just imagine how sad he
must have been with no lamps to light at
the midnight hour, no tea to warm, no
cries of a sweet babe to disturb his rest.
?But, alas, things have changed at this
gentleman's house. He has been blessed
with a boy baby, and the "light goeth not
out by night but remaineth till-the sun
has risen in the east." This gentleman
realizes now the truth of the old saying:
"As long as there is life there is hope."
He is bappy and serene. Fi?at.
Lebanon Beading Club.
Me. Editor : Deeming it worthy I will
give you an abbreviated report of the en?
tertainment given at Lebanon SchoolJHouse
on night of 7th, by the Lebanon Beading
Clnb. Although the weather was threat?
ening, the Club was greeted with a fair au?
dience. The exercises were opened with a
piece of vocal music by all the members of
the Club?"All to Christ I owe." The
first piece on the programme was "Christ?
mas Story," by Mr. J. W. Rothrock, which
was read in a clear and distinct manner,
arousing our spirits for the reception of
things yet to come. Next, "Peter Sargum
in love," recited by Willie Welborn. Mu?
sic on harps. Next on the programme was
a charade?"There is no rose without a
thorn," by Miss Lula Bowen, B. J. Smith,
Miss Minnie Burriss and C. Stribling,
which was rendered in such style as would
have given credit to more experienced am?
ateurs. Vocal music Next came "Old I
Sugar's Courtship," bj Dock Craig, which
created a great deal of laughter, as well as
showing forth human nature. Music?"A
smile was all she gave me," by Miss Lula
Bowen. Then we had a "Discourse by a
colored man," by Henry Walker. Music
by S. A. Bowen?"Old black Joe." Both
ot the above were blacked and dressed in
most becoming style, and could not have
been better rendered by any one. Next
was a piece read by Mrs. W. J3. Quails, the
name of which your reporter did not learn,
but suffice it to say it was well read, and
that it was full of many good illustrations
of human nature. .Vocal music?"She is
gone." Next came "Girl's address to boys," j
by Miss Leila Kay Instrumental music
on harps, organ and violin. Next, recita?
tion by Miss Mamie Quails?"Lines on a
mother's picture." Music?"Put me in my
little bed," by Rosa Welborn. Then came
Dr. J. G-. Duckworth, who read "Earth?
quake in Charleston," showing forth the
frenzy in which our dusky brethren were
thrown at the great earthquake of Charles?
ton in 1886. Music?"Berobed and ready."
R. L. Welborn recited "Station Agent's
Story." - Music on violin by Dr. J. G.
Duckworth and Frank Mullikin, and or?
gan by Miss Hattie Quails. Tableau?
"Jealous of the Shoemaker." Next was a
dialogue?"The musical darkey," by S. A.
Bowen and Willie Lee, which could not
have been surpassed by anything short of
professionals. Music on harps, violins
and organ. The President announced the
last piece?"The darkies' concert," which
was rendered in such a natural style that
had we known no better would have
thought them "sure enough" darkies.
Now, summing it up as a whole, Mr. Edi?
tor, we think you miss a treat every time
you miss the entertainments given by this
Club. The funds that are raised by this
Club are given to finish the school house at
Lebanon, which renders it more worthy of
?atronago by the surrounding country,
'hey expect to give another entertainment
soon. No one need fear that it is not a
suitable place for tbeni, for everything is
done in a decent and orderly way. W.

Closing B'xorclses or a School.
MB. Editor : It was our pleasure to
attend the closing exercises of Miss S. J.
McClain's School, in Fork Township,
September 1st, 18S8.
The school coulil not use the arbor pro?
vided for the occasion, and had to look for
larger quarters, when Mrs. Sallie Cox
willingly give the use of her house, near
at hand.
The exercises opened with a song from
the school, which give us to uncjoistand
their musical educatiou had not been neg?
lected.
The speeches by the children were very
fine, and a credit to themselves and
their worthy teacher.
So ended the morning exercises, and
brought dinner, which was spread out in
the hall, and all mado welcome.
The evening was spent in listening to
music by the school, with Miss Effie
Durham at the organ. Short and appro?

Anderson, C. H., Sept. 5,1888.
Mr. Editor : Please grant me space in
your Intelligencer for a few words. I
came to this place August 31, in search of
colored Episcopalians, but found only one
here, Mr. W. H. A. Moore, who is from
New York. He greeted me as an Episco?
palian at heart, and shows a brotherly
love to mo. Since I was in this place I
preached for the Rev. Mr. Beard's congre
tion twice, and found the Pastor and peo?
ple full of the ohristian's love. In my
judgment I believe the people of Anderson
are very social, both white and colored.
I visited some of the business houses of
this place, and was well treated. I also
visited the Book House of Messrs. Fant &
Son, and they took great pleasure in allow?
ing me to examine their stock. I am
glad to see the sociability of the people, j
Bro. Moore and myself had a good con?
versation, and he said that "these are
very kind and gentle people."" What else
do we want? Follow peace and holiness
with all men, without which no man shall
see the Lord Jesus. P.H.Martin,
Pastor of Reformed Episcopal Church.

After suffering for more than three years

do anything, and my cough was so bad I
scarcely slept any at night. My Druggist,

thank you enough for the entire and per?
