The following from the Lancaster Ledger sounds funny in these parts: "It - is estimated that the cotton crop has been j cut short at least one-third in this county . by drought. Rain is needed in almost % jpv.ory section of the county." - Each member of the Litellioenoeb fpijj?, from the devil up to the Senior Bess, is indebted to Mr! A. G. Means, the live and energetic clothier, for a nice cra? vat, and we, in behalf of the entire crew, lift our hat and tender him oar best thanks for his kind remembrance. Mr. Means has the largest and most varied stock of neckwear to be found in the city, and . eypry article is marked down at a re? markable low price.

He leaves this week for Bowling Green, Ey., where be will spend the next nine months attending college: Col. H. W, J. Ham, of Gainesville, Ga., spent several days last week in the city. He attended the. Baptist Sunday School and Church Sunday, and gave the Sunday School a very happy little talk. Col. Ham is a polished gentleman. He is trav? eling for Lippincott <fc Co.'s publishing house. The Quarterly Conference for the An? derson Methodist church will be held at the office of Capt. John W. Daniels to? morrow (Friday) evening, at 8i o'clock. Rev. J. Walter Dickson, the Presiding Elder, will occupy the pulpit of the Methodist church both on Sunday morn? ing and evening. We are requested to announce that there will be a special meeting of the Farmer's Alliance at Clinkscales' Mill, in Martin Township, on next Saturday, 22nd inst., at 2 o'clock p. m~ All the members are urged to be present, and all the citi? zens of the Township are invited to attend, as it will be an important meeting. The members *f the Bel ton Baptist Church have decHSad to hava their new house of worship-iedicated the third Sunday in Octobe* next, and huve invited Rev. A. A. Marshall, of th& city, to preach the dedication sermon. Rev. J. A. Mundy, D. D., of Greenville, and perhaps other ministers will assist in the dedica? tion services. Wo are in receipt of a neatly printed pamphlet of 48 pages, styled "Recollec? tions of the Civil Service of the Confeder? ate Government,'* by Col. Henry D. Capers, of Adairsville, Ga. It is exceed? ingly interesting, and brings to light many events and incidents that happened during the organization and existence of the Confederate Gjvernment.. The Athens. Ga., Chronicle of last Satur? day, says: "Mr. R. H. Bolt aud wife left this week for Oxford, Indiana. Mr. Bolt has held the position of boss of the street hands, and bas'made many friends hero.' Mr. Bolt is a son of Sheriff Bolt, of this city, and resided here up to a year or two ago. His many friends here wish him much good lack in his new borne. Mr. J. L. Hay nie. agent for L add en & Bates Southern Music House at Green? ville, S. C, is now offering extra induce? ments to -anyone who may desire to par chase a piano, organ or other musical instrument. The prices are very reason? able and terms favorable. Write to him for further information, and look out for his new advertisement next week. The people of Beltou and the surround? ing country are fortunate in securing the services of Maj.-E. T. Kemp, of Greenville, as Principal of the Belton High School. He is a gentleman of fine attainments, and is a live, progressive teacher. Miss ?Bessie Stradley, of Greenville, will assist in teaching the school, which has opened with a very fine attendance of pupils. Mr. John M. Moorehead, who lives a few miles north of the city, while cutting down a large' oak tree a few days ago, found imbedded-therein a min nie ball, which, judging from the growth of. the tree, hod been there for about twenty-four years. It was no doubt a ball fired from a gun of one of the raiders who passed through this section at the close of the the war. Col. J. G. Clinkscales has tendered his resignation as School Commissioner of this County, to take effect to-day. His successor will probably be Mr. D. H. Rus? sell, the- present nominee of the Demo? cratic party for the position. Col. Clink? scales will, in a few days, remove his family to Colombia and take charge of his new position in the Columbia Female College. Mr. P. Connell is sojourning in the city for awhile engaged in silver-plating knives, forks, spoons, etc., for any one who may desire his services in that line. He bas a stand on the street, and invites everybody to com* and see his work. He plates brass, copper, steel or iron, and guarantees the pl#te never to woar off. He is doing considerable work a-nd every? body is pleased with it. Patrick's Military Institute opened last week with quite favorable prospects. It is confidently expected that the roll of students will be considerably larger this session than it was during the lost session. Anderson is jastly proad of this institu? tion. Itis not surpassed in.the up-coun? try. The professors are all able, well qualified, and attentive. The instruction is thorough apd the discipline fully in keep? ing with the very first class military schools. The surroundings are most con? ducive to tl)e welfare of the school. With a healthful cllmatp and a good moral, healtny state of society, we hope to make Anderson headquarters for military school training in the up country. One of the most popular firms doing business in Anderson is that of C. F. Jones & Co., which, as is generally known, is composed of C. F. Jones and R. C. Webb, both of whom are young men, right in the prime and vigor of manhood, and in the few years that they have been in business togethor they have gained an honored position among their brother merchants. These gentlemen have in store now the largest stock of goods they have ever bought in one sea? son, and their establishment presents the appearance of a dry goods palace, They are occupying the store room formerly occupied by the late W. S. Ligou, and it takes three floors to display their im? mense stock. Tho basement is devoted to the grocery department, and heie we find almost everything needful for the inner man. Tho ground lloor contains everything in the dry goofls line, (from the coarsest to the finest fabric), boots, shoes, hats, etc., and every nook and cor ner is crowded with these goods. Tho upper story contains olothing, carpets, etc. Everything is arranged in its place, and a customer will have no trouble in seeing and getting what he wants in a very short time. This season they are making a specialty of fine dress goods. These gentlemen are not afraid to com? pare prices', and they invite an inspection of Jbeir goods. Read their new adver? tisement, and be sure to go and see them'. tee will offer it at one-h* e SHOES for $5.00, Ins t by buying your Goods f The County Farmers' Alliance per? fected its organization in the Court House hist Saturday, by electing the fol? lowing officers: President, J. W. Norris : Vice-Presldeiit, J. C. Rankin ; Secretary, W. E. Walters; Treasurer, A. A. Dean ; Lecturer, G. W. Miller; Assistant Leo tnrer, T. T. Wakefield; Chaplain, J. A. Welborn ; Marshall, W. T. Dean ; Door? keeper, I. P. Clinkscales; Assistant Door? keeper, D. H. Hammond. There were sixteen sub Alliances represented in the mooting. The Alliance adjourned to meet in this city on Saturday, 29th iost. Dr. 0. P. Skelton, accompanied by his grand-daughter, Miss Annie Hook, of Al pharetta, 6a., is visiting relatives and friends in our midst. Dr. Skelton is a brother of our townsman, Mr. J. B. Skel? ton and was born and reared in this County. Fourteen years have elapsed since be last visited Anderson. He is one of the most prominent citizens of his adopted County. For a number of years he was Clerk of Court, then served two or three terms in the State Legislature, and is now filling the office of County Treasu? rer. His old friends in this section are delighted to meet him once more. The Rough and Ready Fire Company are desirous of raising some funds in order to pay off their indebtedness, and have decided to have a Hot Supper next Tuesday evening for this purpose. They are calling on their white friends to assist them, and we are glad tp know that they are meeting with success. Any donations, either of money,'cakes, meats, etc., will be thankfully received, and may be sent to the President, A. B. Johnson, or to either one of the following members of the Committee: Henry Burch, Wm. Lee, Barbrous Frazier, Geo. Davis and Henry Webb. The colored firemen always re? spond to any call of duty, and they should be liberally assisted in their entertain? ment. The BaptUt Courier speaks thus of one of our citizens: "Dr. R. F, Divver, of Anderson, is a skilled physician, a fine machinist, a tolerably good Baptist, and an enthusiastic prohibitionist, and in all these lines he has attained moro or less notoriety. While it cannot be said of him that ho is a "man with a hobby,*' it is nevertheless true that he is always en tlVusiastic in the prosecution of some s?humo which has for its end public or private g<>'j<l; and sometimes it is one and soniotj me- the other. Just now he is most concerned about the success of an estab? lishment known as the Anderson Machine Works, of which he is t- o proprietor, and Lti which is employed several skilled workmen. It is fitted up with machinery of the best make, and while It has been In operation only a fow months the out? look is very promising for the enterprise. The Doctor is determined to make his Works the equal of the best." The Camp Meeting at Sauily Springs closed Monday night, and throughout the meeting was a very pleasant ono, despite the very inolement weather. Owing to the bad weather, tho crowd in attendance was not as large as usual, especially on Sunday. The tents, however, were all occupied. On Sunday, at 11 o'clock-, Rev. J. Walter Dickson, the popular and energetic Presiding Elder of the District, preached, and ev.ery one who heard him pronounce it a most excellent and im? pressive sermon. During the delivery of the sermon, tho rain poured down, and made so much noise in falling upon the roof of the arbor that y: was with difficulty thathecould beheaefl, but notwithstand? ing he vas given close attention, and those who were so fortuuate as to hear him were deeply impressed by his elo? quent words. Rev. A. W. Walker preached at 3 o'clock, and his sermon, too, was a good one. Considerable interest was manifested in the services throughout the meeting, and a number of converts were made. Qne day lust week E. Augustus Clardy and J?ab M. Clardy and two negroes, named Mack Huff and Andy Carter, were up before Trial Justice Wardlaw charged with riot, assault and assault ani battery with intent to kill. These defendants bail from Rrusuy Creek. Joab and Gus Clardy rented land to Daniel Harris for tips year, In July they thought he was not working the crop well, and went down to the field whorp Harris and his wife were at work, taking with them two negroes to help do the work. Harris ordered them out of the field, and they refused to go. Gus. and Dan. got into a fight. Dan. got the best of it, and Joab ran up to hejp l;is son. and Mrs. Harris dowped him and gave him a severe biting and scratching. It is said that the negroes were helping the Clardys, but notwithstanding Dan. and his wife hold the field and came out victorious. Tho case was sent up to the Court of Ses? sions. Warrants were issued some time ago against Dan. and his wife, and they wero bound over to Court. Both sides claim that the other sido is in the wrong. The large and conspicuous advertise? ment of A. G. Means has no doubt attract? ed tho attention of every reader of the IkteIvLIGISncek, all of whom, when they visit Anderson, will not forget to give him a call. Mr. Means, as is well known, handles clothing, boots, shoes, hats, trunks, valises, gents' furnishing goods, etc., aud by his indomitable energy, back? ed by his intimate knowledgo of the busi? ness, has enabled him to place himself in the foremost rank in tho trade he repre? sents* To look at his Immense stock, one would think that he had in store enough goods to clothe every man and 6oy in upper Carolina, but largo additions are being brought in by every train, and in a few more days he will have the largest stock in his line ever shown in Anderson. His. magnificent assortment of ready made garments are of the most fashiona? ble and stylish cut, and there'is no man or boy in the County who ho can't fit and please in both quality and prico. His stoclT of shoes includos both gent's and ladies,' from the heaviest brogon to the finest hand-made, Mr. Means buys all of his goods in large lots and from first hands, therefore he will make it to the iuterest of every put chaser to give him a trial. Ono of the most prominent features about his business is the "ono price system," anij the "guarantee of satisfaction or nionpy refunded.'1 Ho takes pleasure in showing his goods and quoting prices. The recent rains and freshets have done a great deal of damage to the public roads of our County, but wo are glad to be in? formed that very little damage ha3 boon done to the bridges. Several mill dams havo been washed away, and others in? jured. The corn crop has been damaged very much, and espeoiaily that on bottom land. -The ootton crop has been both in? jured aud benefited, aud it in a mooted question as to whether the injuries are greater than the benefits. What was open Succes ilf its actual value. My . ive the Stock and must se rom me. BARGAINS in i Is certainly almost entirely destroyed, and I that which was not opened has been in I some instances matured and developed, and in other instances rotted. Tne potato crop has been benefited, and tho pea crop injured. The fodder and hay crops have been injured. Of course, the rains would have been of incalculable benefit if they had not come in such large quantities, and so close together. If in place of tho recent rains we had had hot, dry weather, crops would have suffered very much from that. Consequently we have no oc? casion for complaint, for we certainly get more and better than we deserve. We are too much given to complaint, a\^< we complain often without cause, and (feu refuse to be joyful when we have great; cause for rejoicing. We are only respon? sible for the discharge of our duties. The result is not left with us, and we arc not responsible for that. We would direst the attention of our readers to the now advertisement of Crayton, Jones & Sebt, which will give you an idea of what they have in stock for the fall and winter trade. The mem? bers of this firm are young gentlemen of excellent business qualifications, sterling integrity and undoubted honor, and have a thorough knowledge "of the dry goods business. They know, too, the noods and wants of the trading public, and have laid in store a stock that will suit the masses. A few days ago we were courteously shown through their establishment, but to attempt to tell of all the beautiful goods we saw would require several col? umns ofojir paper. Their stock contains an ex/^flingly large and comprehensive assc'?gjnent of everything in the general dry goods line, fancy goods, notions, laces, silks, satins, drapery, window shades,. carpets, mattings, rugs, oil oloths, etc. etc. They also have a large stock of boots, shoes, clothing hats and gents' furnishing goods. The first floor is crowded with these goods, while the upper story is devoted to the carpet and milli? nery department. The latter is in charge of Miss Ida Porcival, of Baltimore, a young lady of exquisite taste and busi? ness qualifications.' This department is elegantly fitted up, and filled with a large and handsome stock of hats, bonnets, ribbons, laces, flowers, plumes and every? thing else needed by the fair sex for the adornment of the head. Miss Percival showed us all the latest styles of hats and bonnets. She is certainly a modiste, and will take pleasure in giving our fair readers all necessary information in ref? erence to the styles and fashions. When you visit the city don't fail to see Crayton, Jones & Seybt's stock. A Cyclone. Last Saturday afternoon aboutG o'clock a portion of the eastern Bide of Anderson County was visited by a pretty severe cy? clone, which did considerable damage The cyclone seems to have started on the plantation of Mr. Rolley Banister, near Craj'tonville, and passed up tho east side of Hencoop Creek to Cedar Grove (colored) Church, destroying all the timber and fences in its track. It then crossed the railroad betweea Belton and.Honea Path, about four m?-,'. from the latter place, and struck Mr. i&jah Cobb's dwelling house, unroofing it and demolishing all of his out-bulldings, except his corn crib. From here it continued in its fury, up? rooting trees and dping other damage, passing through tho Chambleo place, on which Mr. David Reeve3 resides. Mr. Reeves and his family heard the cyclone approaching, and barely had time to get cut of its traok. By doing this they no doubt saved their lives, for tho dwelling house was almost wrecked and every out? building on the premises was leveled to the ground. Much of the clothing of the family was blown away. Tho cyclone then passed on near Shady Grove Church, damaging Mr. Geo. Cox's dwelling-house, and blowing down Mr. Jasper Poole's barn and blacksmith shop. From here nothing more is heard of the cyclone un? til it reached Fountain Inn, on the Green? ville & Laurens Railroad. We are in? formed that it struck the town, but have no information as to the extent of the damage. The gentleman who gave us the above information passed over a portion of the track of the cyclone, and says he never be? fore saw so many largo trees uprooted. Many large oaks were literally twisted into splinters. He soys it is remarkable that no livos were lost. The track of tho cy clpne wss, on an average, about ono hun? dred yards wido. The same gentleman, also informed us that there was another oycloue about five miles cant of the one reported above, about the samo hour, but that he had heard of po darnugo resulting from jt. Heavy Kuhis and u Cyolono in tho l'ork. ToWNvittE, S. C, Sept. 18, 1S88. Mit. Editob: "For weeks the clouds had raked the hills, And voxed the vpils with, raining. And ail tho woods were sad with mist, And all the brooks complaining. At last, a sudden night-storm toro The mountain-veils asunder, And swept the valleys clean before The bosom of the thunder," Yes, the "wet spell," as the saying goes, is, in these parts, unprecedented. For three weeks ther? has only been about that rrjany fair days ; and during all this time it has been wet?soaking wet. On Sat? urday evening last it cultfliriajed with a furious storm. 'The flood-gates seemed to bp opened upon us, and the small streams wore quickly converted into raging and surging torrents, whose roar at times could be heard oven above tho din of the howling tempest. The wind blew a hurri? cane. In tho western part of this Town? ship, near Tugalo River, tho forest was prostrated, ?lant oaks being uprooted and tossed about as straws, while tall trees wero snapped asundor like more play things. Two dwelling houses on the plantation of Mr. William Campbell were demolished, and the piazza to a houso on Mr. J. L. Dickson's place was blown down. Arable lands ?Ve 'foarfiilly washed. While crops are not damaged to that extent that it was nt first supposed, yet the damages indicted upon them by the continued wet weather is very ojnsidora ble. Bottom lands upon the largor streams have been repeatedly overflowed, still tho farmers upon these .streams claim that a large amount of corn is unin? jured. Upon the upland the corn has rottod upon tho stalk, and is probably not less injured than that of the low hinds. It may be safoly said that ihn com oror>-. in thU section, Is damaged at toast'one third. Tho damages' 'sustained by the cotton crop can not at this time be even approximated. Tjie outcome can not be forecast, for with continued dry weather and late frosts, a fine cotton crop may yet be gathered. Upon tho whole, as Bill Arp would say, we have, indeed, much?very much to ba tlianlfful for, Vox J. H.

G. H. Mahon, W. L. Prince, J. M. LaDder, W. W. Holder Waidens. Dr. W. W. Wilson was nominated on the other ticket but he withdrew. He received only nineteen votes to Mr. Sullivan's one hundred and twelve (112). Both are pop? ular men. The Female College has a full school, and about thirty-five boarders. Had it not been for the washout about 10 more would have come. Dr. Lander is well pleased with his opening;. We are glad to see Mr. J. M. Lander out again, after being sick a few days. The rain knocked several of our boys out of going to the camp meeting on yesterday. Mr. A. W. Mapes, traveling advertiser for J. C. Ayer and Co., came over on Sat? urday to see his old friends. Wmston. Prospect Items. Thinking you would like to hear some? thing from this neighborhood, I will give you a few items, hoping that your col? umns v? ill not be so crowded as to push mine off into the waste basket. On tbe evening of the 5th inst., quite a number of young people gathered at tbe residence of Mrs. N. E. Campbell, and spent a few hours pleasantly in a social party. We venture to say if there was any one present" who did not enjoy the occasion, it was their own fault. We have preaching at Prospect the first Sabbath in every month. Owing to the inclemency of the weather on last first Sabbath, the crowd was not as large as it would have been otherwise. Nevertheless, we listened quite attentively to one of Rov. B. Hays' usual good seiraons. Mr. F. D, Thomas is one among our best cotton farmers. He-has about eighty acres in cotton, from which be expects to harvest* fifty bales. Mr. John F. Martin had tbe misfortune to lose a fine young horse with spasmodic colic. The Summer is about past and now pomes the harvest of tbe fleecy staple, when the school boy will have to lay his books down and pick up his basket. We can imagine his feelings, as some of us have experienced it in our boyhood days. We can boast of tbe progress of this community inasmuch as the pigeon is getting to be common with many of us. The skies have been darkened by clouds from the northeast and southwest for about two weeks, which produced much water, and the crops on low lands have been damaged greatly, but again the beau? tiful rays of the sun alighted on us in early morn, and as the sun makes its revolution from east to west, those beautiful rays seemed to say it is all for the best. M. Personal. Mr. N. IT. Frohlichstein, of Mobile, Ala., writes : I take great pleasure in re? commending Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, having used it for a se? vere attack of Bronchitis and Catarrh. It gives me instant relief and entirely cured me, and I have not been afflicted since. I also beg to state that I had tried other remedies with no good result.
