Mb,; Editob: Since "M," yourPros pect correspondent, seems so persistent in bis attacks on . my private business, and: has also, accused' me of a false statement in regard to what was said sometime since about pulling fodder on the shares, I hope you will allow me space in your paper to reply.,to him and his accusations. I promise 'to. be as brief as tbe circumstances will admit, and to pursue the subject no further in the paper. As to the false statement, I give Mr. J, W. Evans as my informant. I have also interviewed Mr. Cooper, and he says it was 12 6-7 bundles in a half day, so the state? ment is hot as false as "M" would gladly have people believe. When that artioie was written-:! was norTaware that "M" had* pulled a blade of fodder this year, and only found it but when he '"hollered." Yes, "if." since you mentioned it, you did not holler like a beagle sure enough, but like a fico. .That little article was written to show the damage fodder had'sus tained by the heavy rains, and not . as a stab at any one. "M" says: he wrote his reply be? cause he thought it would be a correct, advertisement for the beagle hound.". Yes, Mr. Editor, that is it exactly; thought it would damage my reputation as a breeder, and bring the beagle houDd before the public la an unfavorable light. T have abundant evidence going to prove that "MTis not writing all of his sple? netic twattle unaided, but is assisted by certain ones who are seeking to- get even with me by attacking my dogs. I leave the reader to draw! his own conclusions regarding such a-way' of getting even. No doubt "M" thinks bis last sentence's a stunner, in which he declares himself to desist, as there have been time any money enough lost on beagles.'.I once heard of: an old man who, .upon being asked how. he amassed so much money, replied that he made half of it attending to his own business, and the other half by letting "other people alone. Sq "M," go thou and do likewise. No one regrets an .affair of this. kind. ; more than T do.' I do ..not propose to noticei ''M's" flings at me any more, but let them return to their natural element? wind. Any one having business with me: can find meat'or near Denver, 8. C. ? And now,' in conclusion, allow me to say for the benefit of "M" and his allies, 'that the "Bine Ridge Beagle Kennels," (Stribling and Jolley, Denver, S. C.) in? stead of being "soared" out of raising bea? gles, have now on thexoad a shipment of as fine ones as can. be found in America to add- to their kennel. ;?.-'?.: John L.

Some weeks ago Mrs. Warren Searls had occasion to rise earlier in the morning than her husband. ?s she did so in a hurry, she stepped on one of his legs. He screamed, and jokingly.protested that his wife might as well have .given him warning if she bad intended to maim him-for life. But nothing more was thought of the matter, until recently, when a sore started on the spot where Mrs. Searls's foot had pressed with her whole weight. From this bloQcUpoison ing set in, and yesterday it was decided tbat amputation' wes "necessary.

She was 27 years old, and ever since' she was 17 she had imagined her? self so ugly as to cause comments when? ever she appeared in public. She rejected several offers of marriage on this account telling her admirers that she could hot disgrace any man. Recently .'she had begun to: try to improve her imagined 111 looks in many ways, and about a week ago she had all her teeth ^pulled out, though they were sound and white and not very irregular, in order tof improve her month. Many of her friends had tried to disabuse her of the-strange idea, but each .effort in that direction made her insanely angry. In a letter she left for her mother Bbe said she was tired of her homely face, and had lost all interest in her new teeth., Birmingham, Ala, October 17.? "Shut up, old man, you're off your base, I'm preacher to .day." This language was addressed to Rev. J. T. Radcliff, a . Baptiit minister in Shelby county, as he announced hia text last Sunday morning. The: speaker was David. Harrellson, a member of the church, who had suddenly became crazed on the subject of religion. With a knife in one band and- a Bible in the other, Harrellson then marched up and down the aisle and preached a ser? mon. ?-Parson Radcliff tried to leave the house and Harrellson sprang upon him and beat him severely. While the fight was going on the congregation escaped from the chnrch. Harrellson then wan - dered around through the neighborhood for three days with his knife in one-hand and his Bible in the other, preaching to every one he met and defying arrest Yes? terday he was captured, and to-day was taken to the insane asylum at Tusca loosa. ' . ' Wilk es b a e ? e, - P a ., Octc' ir 19.? John B. McClure, paymaster for Contrac? tor McFadden, who is building a branch for: the Lehigh Valley Railroad, drew $12,000 from a bank in this city this morning and started to pay off the men at work on the new: road. He left here at 10 o'clock in a buggy in company with Hugh Flannagan, stable boss of the livery stable whence he obtained tbe conveyance. Both men were found dead and their ?horse also killed before 11 o'clock, and tbe money gone, a few miles from tht, city on the Wilkesbarre moun? tain and only a mile and a half from McFadden'a office. The discovery was made by McFadden himself, who was Sassing along the road and found the ead-horee and McClure's body in the road and Flannagan a short- distance away. Both men were well armed and must have been shot from ambush. Great excitement prevails. Several ar? rests have been made and there is a great, hue and cry. - Abbeville, 8. 0., Oct. 20.?Yestert; day afternoon about sundown. McCreery Glymph shot and instantly killed his -brother, John Glymph, about three miles from Hodges' in this county. The shoo t ing was* done .with a double-barrel shot? gun. The cause of tbe shooting is thought to be jealousy. McCreery Glymph had forbidden his: brother John to come to his house. John went anyway; and when McCreery asked him if he had came to stay there last night John replied "Yes," and added "Now is as good a time to settle that difficulty as any other," and drew a Bulldog self-cocking pistol on McCreery, when McCreery ran into his house, followed by John. McCreery got his gun and opened fire. He shot John in the head killing him instantly. A coroner's inquest was held and resulted in a verdict that John Glymph had been killed by a gnnshot wound at the hands of McCreery Glymph. McCreery Glymph immediately^ surrendered himself to the nearest trial justice, W. J. Moore. The preliminary examination is Bet for Mon-. day next at 2 P. M. Columbia, S. C, October 11 ?A hor? rible murder was perpetrated here last night at half-past eleven o'clock. In boldness, mystery, and the class of the victim- it resembles the Whitechapel murders. At the hour named, those living in the vicinity of Trinity Episcopal church heard three pistol shots. It is a most orderly portion of tbe city. The moon made it as bright as day and no significance was attached to the shooting until this morning, when the sexton going to open the church found the dead body of Claudia Harris, one of tbe most de Sraded of fallen women, at the church oor. Three balls had entered her breast, one penetrated the heart. The burning powder had ignited the bosom of the woman's dress, and bnrned it away. Tbe murder was committed within ten steps of the street corner, and in twenty yards of occupied houses. There was no out? cry of any kind and the first shot must have been fatal. The police are utterly at sea, and no clew to the murder or the motive for. the crime can be suggested unless it is some one wishes to imitate in part at least the London murders. THE McLASE GANG IN BOSTON. Seekius Aid to Establish an Independent Party In South Carolina. Boston Advertiser, October 14 The thirty-five or more members of the Massachusetts Club, who were present at the weekly dinner of that organization yesterday, at Young's Hotel, were treated to a statement of the condition of politics in the South, which, coming from men who have always resided in that locality, and are in a position to know the true situation there, was a peculiar interest. The guests of the club were: Dr. T. D. Durham of Aiken, Dr. V. P. Clayton of Columbia, Major F. W. Macusker of Georgetown, the Hon. J. H. McLane, Feasterville, and the Hon. W. W. Bus sell of Anderson, S. C, and all the mem? bers of the State Committee of the Inde? pendent party in that State. The post prandial exercises were opened by the President, the Hon. William Claflin, who, after a splendid speech, in which he welcomed the Southerners to Boston and to the dinner, introduced each of the guests, all of whom had something to Bay. They are all fine look ing men, of gentlemanly bearing, and evidently represent the better class of Southerners. The object of their visit to the North is to obtain financial and moral assistance in the new independent movement in South Carolina. Although not Republicans, they are outspoken in .their denunciations of the unfair methods used by the Democracy in the South to control elections. They purpose, they say, to do all in their power to break up this oligarchy and establish a free ballot and a fair count. The Independents are to start a newspaper, and by other means do all in tbeir power to forever end the disgraceful fraud and crime which is not only sanctioned but openly supported by the, machine Democracy in the majority of the Southern States. The visitors from the South are all ex-members of the Confederate army, and fought in the late war. TUE FARMERS' ASSOCIATION. Call for a Meeting: In Columbia on Novem? ber 14. - To'thi Farniers ofSouth Carolina: Two years ago last April there assembled in Columbia the first Farmers' Convention. It was composed of representative men from nearly every county, and demanded certain reforms in our educational system and in the management of our State Gov? ernment. - The November following another. Farmers' Convention met and entered into a permanent organization under the name of the "Farmers' Associa? tion of South Carolina." This Associa? tion then and there reiterated the de? mands of the first Convention as .to the need of agricultural education in this State and pressed other reforms in the Government,-some of which have been granted and others refused. That the agitation inaugurated by this movement has been of vast benefit to the. agricultural interests of our State no one will deny, and a continuance of the agita? tion is only necessary to crown our efforts with success. Therefore, in issuing this call to our brother farmers to meet again, we feel that we can point with satisfac? tion to what we have accomplished as an earnest of what we hope to accomplish in the future by united and combined efforts. The next meeting of the Farmers' Association will beheld in Columbia, in Agricultural Hall, Wednesday night, November 14, at 8 o'clock P. M. Each county is entitled tosend five delegates, and the executive committee urgently request that full delegations from every county be present, By order of the executive committee. B. R. Tillman, Chairman. ? Using Riches Not to Abuse It. It may interest some to know what a few rich rren have done for the causa of education. Senator Leland Stanford has given, a vast estate, amounting to $20,000 000, to found a university in California in memory of his deceased bou. Johns Hopkins gave $3,148,800 to the university which bears bis name. His gifts for be? nevolent purposes amounted to ?8,000,000. ?Asa Packer gave $3,000,000 to Lohigh University. Cornelius Vanderbilt gave $1,000,000 to the Vauderbilt University, to which Wm. H. Vanderbilt afterward added $500;000. Stephen Girard gave $8,000,000 to Girard College. John O. Green and his residuary legatees gave $1,500,000 to Princeton College. Ezra Cornell gave $1,000,000 to Cornell University. Isaac Rich bequeathed the greater part of his estate, appraised at $70,00,000, to. Boston University; On account of the great fire and shrinkage in value, and other unfortunate circum? stances, the university will realize less than $70,000 from this magnificent be quest. Amasa Stone gave $900,000 to Adelbert College by direct gift and by bequest. W. W. Corcoran gave $170,000 to Columbian University in money and land. Benjamin Bussey gave real estate worth $500,000 to Harvard University;;] Samuel WilliBton, William J. Walker and Samuel A. Hitchcock gave between $100,000 and $20,000 each to Amherst College. Whitmer Phoenix gave the bulk of his property, amounting to about $640,000, to Colombia College, New 1 York. J. B.' Trevor gave $170,000: to Rochester Theological Seminary. | Matthew Vassar gave $800,000 to Vassar ] College; Gardner Colby gave $170,000 to Colby University, and $100,000 to Newton i Theological Seminary. J. B. Colgate gave $300,000 to Madison University. George L Seney gave $450,000 to Wesley an University. The Crozer family gave $300,000 to Crozer'a Theologicol Seminary A Mr. Clark recently gave $1,000,000 for the founding of a university in Massachu? setts to bear his name. Henry Winkley, of Philadelphia, has just bequeathed $200,000 to several institutions, Williams getting $50,000, Amherst $30,00.0, Dart? mouth $20,000 and Bowdoin $20,000. It would be easy to add to this list. There are hundreds of men and women whose splendid gifts entitle them to be held in everlasting remembrance. Such gifts are so common now that they are expected. If a.rich man should live and die without doing something for the cause of education he would at once become the subject of severe criticism. Pine Straw Bagging. Charleston, S. C, Oct. 20.?Among the cotton received here to day was one lot of 15 bales from Cheraw, S. C, which was covered in bagging made from pine straw. The entire lot was quickly disposed of and readily accepted by the exporters. This practically solves the bagging puz? zle and puts a quietus on the hopes of the jute bagging trust. The Chamber of Commerce of this place some weeks ago subjected the pine fibre bagging to a severe test and at once pronounced it merchantable. The fifteen bales were shipped to Liverpool. The adaptability of the bagging to the covering of cotton will result in a wonderful revolution in the South. It is made of the needles or leaves of the pine. These can be made into cotton bagging at a cost which is bound to run jute bagging out of the United States. The green needles, it is claimed, yield oil enough to pay the en? tire cost of their treatment. It is proba? ble that by next spring over 100 factories for the manufacture of pine straw bagging and matting will be in operation between Raleigh and New Orleans. Adger College Burned. Walhalla, S. C, Oct. 22.?About twelve o'clock to day the. West end of Adger College caught.on fire and in a few minutes the grand old building was in ruins. It is thought that it caught by a spark from, the chimney falling upon the roof. Nothing was saved except the fur? niture in the Piedmont Society Hall and a few seat3 from the assembly ball. The loss is about six thousand dollars. No insurance. . During the excitement the Hon. D. Bieman bad a stroke of paralysis. ? Christianized Chinamen are becom? ing numerouB enough in New York to make a new quarter for themselves near University Place, and Mott street is rapidly being abandoned to the heathen. The Longest Parse will Win. Washington, Oct. 18.?A profound political; observer called my attention tbis morning to tbe great changes which have taken place in the conduct of the present campaign. The American peo? ple are not at air conservative. They learn new lessons rapidly and make baste to adopt improvements in tbe conduct of public business when once it is made clear that the changes are in tbe line of improvements. My friend illustrated this by pointing out the great difference between this Presidential campaign and the campaign of 1884. Managers have learned to" realize that processions and parades represent nothing but a waste of money. Probably iu the history of American politics no vote has ever been changed or made by any procession or spectacular political display. My politi? cal friend, who has been through many campaigns and who has been an associate manager during several close contests, said: "Tbis time, I think, the contest is going to be settled by the brute power of money. Both sides are massing their forces for the home stretch. There will be more money used on election day ou ' both Bides than has ever been known in its history. I know that it is the idea of Republican managers to save' their great disbursements until the very last mo? ment, and I understand that the Demo? crats are following the same line of policy. This is borne out by the fact that very little money is being used in the campaign at tbe present time. Country managers who send up to the national-committee for funds for present use receive very little encouragement." According to my friend, New York and I Indiana-are two States upon which man? agers of both sides intend to concentrate their energies. Connecticut to-day is conceded to the Republicans, while New Jersey is conceded out and out to the Democrats. Tbis leaves tbe fighting ground in the two States I have men? tioned. No one in the Republican or Democratic ranks for a single moment has paid any attention to tbe stories of the probability of carrying West Virgin? ia. The stories that the Democrats will carry any of the Western or Northwes? tern States is on a par with tbe story that the Republicans had a chance of carrying some of the Southern States. ? There are not more than 150,000 Quakers in America. ? The Rev. A. 0. Dixon, of Balti? more, has figured out that,, on tbe basis given in the Apocalypse, Heaven contains 5,759,750,000,000 rooms, each one being nineteen by sixteen feet in dimensions. ? Senator John P. Jones, of Nevada, came to this country from Wales, and went gold hunting to California in '49. He began with pick in band, and to day one of his mines yields him $12,000, a month. ? It is reported that the "Rev. O.A. Johnson," whoever he maybe, announ? ces that as a result of much study be > decides that "in just thirty-two years from I now the electricity stored in the earth will come in contact with tbe healed matter inside aud blow the whole world up." '? Commenting upon the mortal illness of a very rich man, the Buffalo Express says: "Not all his millions can buy a moment's delay." This is true; but how much better off would a poor man be in the same position ? ? Tbe bushel measures used in Eng? land 200 years ago weighed eighteen pounds of themselves, and any one who walked across the floor while wheat was being measured was liable to imprison? ment.?New York Graphic. ? In Birmingham, England, physi? cians charge their patients according to the rental of the house. A chap who has tbe toothache in a twenty thousand dol? lar bouse pays twice as much as a fellow who has the same ache in a ten thousand dollar bouse. It is said to work equitably. ? A man named Stewart who violated the prohibition law in Kansas was sent to jail for seventeen years for selling 208 glasses of beer. The fines and costs in the case amount to over $26,000, and now the attorney-general wants to confiscate Stewart's handsome business block in order to make the money. ? A young man went to call on a young lady at Vale1 osta, Ga., several nights ago. She called his attention to the fact that be was late, remarking that she was in "the arms of Morpheus" when he came. Tbe young man added to tbe embarrassment of tbe situation by inno? cently remarking that he thought he heard that fellow go out when he came ? The railroad restaurant on a certain line is kept by a veteran baker. A sprightly young traveler complained of one of his pies the other day. The old man became angry. "Young man," he said severely, "I made pies before you were born." "Yes," responded the trav? eler, "I guess this must be one of those same pies." ? There were 19,912 patents issued last year; and of thene but 1,083 were granted to Southerners. Texas led the Southern States, a patent being granted for every 6,006 Texans. Florida came next. Mississippi's ratio was one patent to every 25,146 of her population. Ala? bama, in spite of the recent great mer chanical development of the'State, was credited with but 54 inventions in the year. ? The Florida Fruit Exchange advises its agents in New York city that the crop of oranges this year will be 2,500,000 boxes or the largest ever grown. Many growers believe it will reach 3,000,000 boxes. The output of American lemons tbis year amounts to 5,000 barrels, but all the experts in the trade declare, aays the New York Sun, that the time is not far. distant when America will raise all the lemons she needs for home comsump tion. ? The problem of pure water for cities is getting to be not only more im? portant, but more difficult ofa satisfactory solution. The city of Paris now proposes to go 312 miles and draw off one of the Swiss Alpine lakes into her reservoirs and supply-pipes. Lake Neofchatel, is noted for its perfectly pure water, fed by the snows that are froBt-cooled and clari? fied and cons tatly supplied from above the line of possible human contamination. Tbe expense of this new enterprise will be not less than $100,000,000. The pipes must be carried twenty-two miles by means of mountain tunnels. A HEALTHY GROWTH.

She is receiving 400 Bales of Cotton daily, the Streets are Crowded with Wagons and vehicles of every descrip? tion, Crops are good, the Savannah Valley Rail . road a grand success, more new enterprises on hand than ever before! What more is heeded to make a people happy ? Why, nothing hut to step into SYLVESTER BLECKLEY COS. BIG STORE, Which is always filled with plenty of all kinds of Goods, delighted customers, polite attention, men to wait on-them, and sell them their numerous Bargains at prices that are really astonishing. These are cut down so fine that they could not afford to sell them at it if it were not for the large quantity'of Goods they, handle. It was predicted that the building of the Savannah Valley Railroad would injure Anderson?that a large share of the Cotton would be marketed at Stations along its line. But all these predictions have proven untrue, because Anderson gets better receipts in Cotton than ever before. And why? Because she contains live, energetic merchants, who pay the farmers more for tbeir Cotton than they can get for it at theae small Stations where they have only one buyer, and then they sell you Goods so low, beside??heap cheaper than ycu can buy them elsewhere. Just listen to a few lines: S In GROCERIES we carry EVERYTHING, and have in stock now? Eight Oar Loads Flour, Bought before the recent heavy advance. One Car Load of assorted NAILS just received.
