The subscribers to the Anderson Cotton Mills should bear in- mind that the first installment of twenty per cent, on the stock subscribed is called for by tbe 10th of October ?ext. These, installments should be paid in promptly, and thus encourage the enterprise, and enable the Directors to proceed in such a manner as will best promote the work and lead to an early completion of the Mills.

He says the order of Judge Aldrich, awarding the custody of Arnold's child to its maternal grandmother, Mrs. Thompson, is final, and settles the question of the rigbt to the custody of the child, unless appealed from, and the custody can only' be changed upon a change of facts. Arnold has pos? session o? the child, and it now looks as if he was going to keep it.

Sullivan, of Pelzer, who was in the city yesterday, isauthor tyfor the following story: George Morris, a negro, living in the neighborhood of Pelzer, has a cow. The cow is two and a half years old and of the Jersey variety. She has never bad a calf, but is giving milk regularly and in quantities large enough to furnish a pound of butter a day. This has been going on for some time, aod the cow is pointed out as a phe? nomenon in the community." . Pink Shell, a negro man about 35 years of age, was committed to jail last Thurs? day, charged wich a most horrible crime. Shell lives in Honea Path Township. On Wednesday of last week he became en? raged at his two-year-old step-daughter and beat it so severely that it died in a few minutes. An inquest was held by Trial Justice Trussell, and tbe jury rendered a verdict of "violently kiHing'" the child. The helpless infant was terribly bruised and lacerated and presented a pitiful spec? tacle. Shell will suffer the fnll penalty of the law for this act of wanton cruelty. Miss Lizzie Williams, the popular pro? prietress of the Ladies' Store, has a new advertisement in this paper. She has just returned from the Northern markets, and has purchased one of the most beauti? ful stocks of goods she has ever shown in the city. Oar lady friends would do well to give Miss Lizzie an early call, for she is thoroughly posted in all the latest styles and fashions and will take pleasure in posting her friends and customers. Her rstock of millinery and dress goods is very hirge, and she is offering every article at prices that wity pje?,se everybody-. We invite your attention to the advert tisementofJ. J. Baker & Co., which ap? pears elsewhere. These gentlemen have removed into the store room occupied by Bleckley, Brown A Fretwell, next door to A. B. Towers, and' are daily repeiving their fall and winter stock of' goods, which have been carefully selected ih per? son by Mr. Baker. Their stock consists of groceries ' and everything usually found ih a general dry goods house, and they feel confident they can make it to the interest of every man and woman in the Coanty to give tbem an early call. There is not a more reliable firm doing business in the State than J. J.' Baker & Co., and our readers may rest assured Chat every dollar's worth of goods ' purchased of them will prove just as represented; They have just received a car load of fine flour, which they are offering at very lbw prices. Remember where they have moved to, and be sure to see their goods flnq get their prices. Prof. J. M. Pickel, formerly of William? ston, has been elected to the Chair of j Chemistry and Physics, in the State Mili? tary Academy, to succeed Mnj. W. H. Emerson, who has resigned. Prof. Pickle is a most excellent young man, and the selection is an extremely good one. He graduated at Furman University, aud subsequently at Heidelburg. Germany, where he took the degree of Ph. D. For the past two years he has held a professor? ship in the Florida Agricultural College. His many friends in this his native County will be glad to hear of his good fortune. The Due West correspondent of the Charleston World, under date of the 16th inst., says: "Our town has recently been ?thrown up to the very pinnacle of pleas? urable religious excitement by a series of eloquent and powerful sermons preached by one of the most taking orators of the Southern Baptist pulpit. For cogent rea? soning, vivid imagination, beautiful lan? guage, original thought, polished and curving gesticulation,' the Rev. A. A. Mar? shall, of Anderson, is but rarely equalled. These meetings have lasted one week, and every day the religious interest increases ; every day the congregation grows larger." ? There was an interesting family re-nnion at tbe reisdince of Mr. Arch. Skelton, in Rock Mills Township, on Wednesday, 20th i nst. The party consisted of Mr. Skelton's two -brothers, Mr. J. B. Skelton, of this city, Dr. 0. P Skelton, of Georgia, and his two sisters, Mrs. E. M. Nelson, of Mississippi, and Mrs. Elizabeth Williford, of'this County. These five persons are all that are left of eleven children, and this was the first time they have met together at one time in about forty-five years. Mr. J. B. Skelton is tbe eldest of tbe five, he having reached the age of 77 years, and Mrs. Williford ia the youngest, her age being 65 years. The fall meeting of the South Carolina Holiness Association will be held in their big tent at Mullins, in Marion County, S. ft; beginning on Tuesday, October 9, at 7.30 o'clock p. m., and inclndes the fol? lowing Sabbath. Homes for visiting min? isters-, and for members of tbe association, will be provided. A hotel will be opened for persons from a distance?meals 25 cents each, lodging 25 cents. Horses kept at reasonable rates. Reduced rates have been secured on the railroads. 'Members of tbe Association are requested to inform Rev. John A. Porter, of Mullins, S. C, of the day they expect to arrive, and whether tbey will come by railroad or private con? veyance. The last Quarterly Conference for this year of the Anderson Methodist Church .was held last Friday evening. All the old officers were re elected'to serve an? other year, and the Church being enti? tled to two more members on its Board of Stewards, Messrs. J. T. Jones and T. F. Hill were added to it. The report of the officers showed the Church to be in a healthy financial condition, and an in? crease of $200.00 in all of its contributions over last year. Rev. J. Walter Dickson. the Presiding Elder, occupied tbe pulpit of tbe Methodist Church on Sunday morn? ing and evening, and both of his sermons, were vory fioe .efforts, and were highly enjoyed by all who were so fortunate as to hear him. A good one is told on Deputy Sheriff Green. Recently he went into tbe coun? try with a warrant for a negro. Not know? ing exactly wbere the negro lived, he rode up to a cabin and asked an old negro, whom he found silting near the door: "Who lives here ?" "I does," replied the old negro. "I know that, but?" '?Den whut yer ax me fur?" "I am looking foi( a man and I want to know your name."' "Yer would't know me ef I wus ter tell yer, 'kase I ain't no promernent man." "That makes no difference f I want your name." "Kaint gib it ter yer, boss.*I wants it myse'f. Good-day!" When Mr. Green had gone, the old negro said to his landlord, who had just come up: 'Ts got his racket down finer'n silk. Dat white man is one ob dese deflectives, and ef I wus ter gib him my name, de fust thing I kuows.da'd hab me up 'fore de gran jury, er 'enzin' me ob takin' things whut doan 'long ter me. Oh, I'se sharp!" The advertisement of Lesser & Co. will no doubt attract your attention, and we advise you to read-it carefully, for it con? tains information for every person who expects to buy any dry goods, boots, shoes, hats, millinery, furnishing goods, etc., etc., this fall or winter. Their stock is large and has been purchased at remarkably low prices. Mr. Lesser spent some time in tbe markets, and carefully selected his goods. He secured many bargains, and he proposes to give his cus mers tbe benefit of them. He can please tbe poor and rich, as well as the most fas? tidious. This firm takes great pleasure in showing their goods and quoting prices, and are always delighted to have their friends call to see them, whether they make a purchase or not. They are especially desirous that the young ladies should call and see their line of dress goods and trimmings. Lesser & Co's place of business is on Brick Range, next door to J. E. Peoples <kCo. Remember this when you visit the city, and be sure to inspect their stock before making your purchases. They will do the right thing by you in every purchase, and save you money. We desire our readers to note carefully the new advertisement of R. S. Hill, whose establishment is now literally packed with new goods for the fall and winter trade. There is no house in An? derson that occupies a position of higher rank, or one entitled to more considera? tion, with reference to the elevated com? mercial standard upon which its opera? tions are based, tbe extent of business transacted and its influence in commer? cial circles than that of Mr. Hill's. His Stock embraces everything in the general dry goods line, iu additiou to a large stock of groceries. He occupies No. 6 Granite Row, and it takes three floors to accommodate bis goods. The basement is devoted to heavy groceries, and on the ground floor may be found almost any? thing tbe trading public may need. The upper story is where the ladies are most interested, and just now it is truly an emporium of fashion. Here we find a large and handsome stock of hats, bon? nets, ribbons, laces, flowers, plumes, and in fact, every article necessary to com? plete a well-selected and desirable line of millinery. This department is under the charge of Mrs. H. P. Sloan, a most tasteful and expert milliner, who fully under? stands the needs of tbe fair sex. Mrs. Sloan spent some time in the North this season, and knows all about the latest styles, We advise our fair readers to give her a call and seo her beautiful pattern bats. The dress-making department is also on this floor, and is in charge of Miss Mallulieu. Mr. Hill will make it to the interest of every one of our readers to give him a call. Buying, as he doe3, for three bouses at one time, he gets the advantage of special discounts, and is ena? bled to sell goods at wonderfully low prices. Pay him one visit, and *we ven? ture you will go back again. $4terary Societies, The day scholars of Patrick's Military Institute met last Monday evening and organized tbe Pbilomathean Literary So? ciety, with tbe following officers: Presi? dent, J.

Connected With Columbia Again. The Greenville Netvs of last Tuesday, says: "The two Columbi" & Greenville pas? senger trains got undv enough together yesterday to transfer their passengers, mail, express and baggage for the first time since the big freshet. The transfer was made at tb% Ninety-Six creek, at Dyson's, where the bringe was washed away. Capt. Ed. Motte's train which has been making the short run to Ninety-Six and? return every day, went on down to Dy? son's and Capt. Hughes' train similarly blockade;! on the Columbia side, managed to get over some very shaky sections of track between Columbia and Dyson's, reaching the latter point late. Captain Hughes and Route Agent Robert Keenan came on up with the transfc -ed passengers' and mail. It is expected that the covered bridge -which was washed down at Dyson's will be replaced by an open trestle-in time to allow trains to pass over by Wednesday or Thursday. The regular schedules and through runs will then be resumed. A passenger who came through said last night that the flood had left signs of its vast volume all about Dyson's. The lit? tle building containing the siegle store and the pose office was washed down tbe river a quarter of a mile and a freight car on the side track was carried a similar distance. At Saluda the depot was washed away, and one store suffered the same fate." Denver Items. The wet weather, the cotton bagging trust and the. Farmers' Alliance are the Jrincipal topics of conversation just now. t is* not thought much relief can be had about bagging for tbe present crop of cot? ton, but strenuous efforts-will be made by the Alliance to get relief before another crop is put on the market. So much rain has caused farmers to get behind with their cotton picking. Some fodder is still to pull, but it hardly pays to pull it, judging from the experience of a neighbor who was pulling on "shares." After tak? ing up a half day's pulling, he found he bad only twelve bundles to his part. If the rains still continue the farmers have one consolatio j and that is, there will be plenty of 'taters to eat, unless they rot. Mr. T. R. Simpson has been adding to the comfort and appearance of his dwell? ing house by having a new roof put on in addition to other improvements. He has also had his mill and gin house repaired. Ho makes it a rule to gin the first bale of cotton brought to his gin each season "toll free." J. E. Rampley, who farms for John'L. Jolley, was the lucky man this year. Mr. Simpson Glenn and his grand? daughter, Miss Janie Simpson, a beautiful and accomplished young lady living near Tumbling Shoals, Laurens County, are visiting relatives in this County. Mr. T. C. McDowell,' Section Master here, has just returned from the scene of tbe recent "wash outs" on the Railroad near Dyson's, S. C. He reports the track as about completed, excepting the breaks at Ninety Six bridge and at Little River, which the bridge force will soon repair. Jav. Fork. ; The Beaverdain Association will con? vene with Double Springs Church, in this community, on Thursday, the 4th prox. A new steam gin has recently been put in operation by Messrs Matet, Dalrymple & Co. on the premises of Mr. P. S. Ma haffey. Dr. J. F. Wilson, formerly a practicing' Sbysician of this community, but now of enison, Texas, is at present visiting friends in the vicinity of Towuvillo. Misses Lula Shirley and Dora Robin? son, both charming young ladies, respec? tively of Honea Path and Level Land, Ab? beville Count}', after a sojourn of several weeks in 'our midst, have recently re? turned to their respective homes. Many regrets, boys. Mr. L. M. Mahafley, one of our young and progressive teachers, will leave this week to enter, as a student, in Furman University. Mr. Mshaffey is a young man of more than ordinary promises, and we predict that his talents, at no dis? tant day. will be recognized. . Mr. John W. Gaines, of Townville. a former student of Furman University, has been selected as teacher in tbe New Prospect scbool. Our young friend is a worthy, energetic young man, and the good people of that community will doubtless have no cause to regret the se? lection. Prof. D. H. Russell will move to An? derson at an early day, to take charge of tbe School Commissioner's office. Mr. Russell is a high toned gentleman, whose services as teacher has been generally ac? ceptable, and whose official service will doubtless not be less acceptable. During his two years' residence here he has made many friends, and bis lemoval from our midst will be a cause of general regret. For the benefit of your readers a thou? sand miles away, we might add that the health of this community is good ; that we are prosperous, happy and contented : albeit, tbe wet weather continues, and the crop prospects are becoming "dark, gloomy and peculiar." Vox. CraytonvlUe Items. Once more the clouds are gone, once more the sun is shining, once more nature assumes the lovely attractiveness, and once again the farmer feels hopeful. At this season of the year all are busy. Busy far? mers make busy merchants, busy traders and busy everything. At the present there seems to be a double stir among the farmers, because two precious weeks have been entirely lost. A large per cent of both corn and cotton has been destroyed by the wet weather. The pea crop is almost a tot.il failure in this section. We can't remember a time when sun? shine-was so much needed. It was needed to keep peace in the home circle. How many good wives lost patience because there was no dry wood to cook with, how many husbands became vexed because there was no clean clean clothes to put on, how many sons and daughters were com? pelled to stay at home because there were no clean cuffs or aollaps to put on. How quiet everything seems along the highways. Except an occasional wagon going to mill or market, there is scarcely a single ono to be seen. The roads are in a bad condition, but they have a grand opportunity for repair? ing, while there is no one to travel them. ' Everybody seems encouraged to do some? thing. As the Prospect correspondent said : "the school boy lays down his book and takes his basket." Just so, and some are encouraged tq pick because Pa has promised tobuy them a new pocket knife when he sells his first bale of cotton. The little girls are encouraged because they have the promise of a doll or a little pair of button shoes. It is all right. Thoy need encouragement, and should have it, Don't forget to fulfill your promise. There were several young ladies and gentlemen who started to the Camp Meet? ing, at Sardy Springs, but ow|ug to heavy rains they returned.: We know of a young j man, who is a great love? of Camp Meeting?, 1 still he hud no desiie to go this yeur. We' think it unnecessary to ask why he did not i go this year, since we have learnod that he j had his punts stolen while camping there twelve mouths ago. Time changes, and men change with them.

Then, if n}en axe con? stantly changing, what about the women, We thjn'k they onange first, and men follow When ladies volunteer their service ta a sppcial work, they are generally competent for tne work, and in almost overy instanoe are sucoesful. There is, in. the neighbor? hood of Belton, a young man who visits this community quite often. The young ladies say he has a peculiarity about his speech which makes everything melodious. However pleasant was this young man,' he had one besetting fault. For some reason', perhaps because he lived so far that he had not time,?at least ho appeared in this neighborhood "unshaved."' On being ask? ed why he did not shave'replied, wore out my razor." Qnp of the young ladies Yo]uutavily'\y!ent to Work collecting money for the young man to buy q new raaor.

Mr. Jones Duckworth, of our town, is going to run a travelling gin over the country. We are to have a drug store opened in town the first of next month. It will be owned by J. L. Anderson, and D. L.

Fodder pullitg was stopped short by the continued rains. Cotton is thought, by some, to- be considerably damaged. Some of our farmeis' faoes have stretched out as long as a well rope, more or less. Something will come along now and then to show us our dependeuce, and that we don't hold the reins. It's mighty hard, though,' for some people to learn it. The Savannah River was very high last week, damaging corn in some instances, though not to the extent that it did last year. A protracted mooting closed at Sbiloh on the first day of this month. The Fas tor was assisted by Bevs. J. B. Barle and M. L. Carswell. The ohnrch was greatly revived, and the meeting resulted in eleven additions to the membership. Mr. Carswell made many friends while among us, all of whom would rejoice to have him return and stay longer. A herculean effort will be made by the members of Shiloh to raiao funds to complete their - house of worship this fall. Help from all sources and in' any amounts will be gladly received and duly appreciated. Messrs. W. A. Holland, A. F. Shearer and Stevenson & Parker, are now ready to fix up our cotton for market. They are all deserving men, and will do you right. A Farmers' Alliance was organized at this place on the day of the election, with sixteen members by Mr. Hester.
