Mr. Peter King died ?t the County Poor House last Friday night? aged 74 years. Mr. King was an upright, honest man, and was highly .esteemed by those who knew him. About two years ago feeble health and old age rendered him helpless, and. having.no one to support him, he was carried to the Poor House. We are indebted to Mr. W. P. Steven? son for a basket of tine turnips, of the "yellow globe" variety. He has one fourth, of an acre In turnips, and his crop is very fine. He sowed bis seed broad* cast and then tamed them under with a Dixie plow. This plan, Mr. Stevenson says, is the best he has ever tried. On Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week, until November 21st, round trip tickets mav be purchased at the C. & G. R. R. depot to Richmond, Va., for $14 50. The tickets will be good to return until 26th November. The Richmond Exposi? tion is in progress, aud if any of our read? ers desire to visit that city they could not select a,better time than now. Mr. J..R. Mas8ey, who lives near Six and-Twenty Church, wasjterrrbly bruised .and. hurt last Thursday by being caught in the belt that runs the gin at Mr. Smith's : gin-house. He -was jerked from the floor and carried tbronph an opening in the wall so small that he could not near get through by himself. It is hoped that his injuries will not prove serious. The Greenville News, of last Sunday, says:' "Reports reached the city yesterday of the killing of a colored man, whose name could not be learned, about three miles from Pelzer, .on Thursday.. The story as told here is that the dead man, with two others, was engaged in catting down a large tree, which fell, crushing the man and producing instantaneous death." The cloaks of our grandmothers are again seen on the streets. Broad, loose, flowing garments they are, presenting a striking contrast to the close fitting wraps that have been in vogue. Perhaps the next thing Willie grandfather's cloak for the men also, but it will have to fight for a standing with this practical generation of business men if it proposes to displace the convenient overcoat. Mr. J. C. Keys has left at our office three of the largest ears of corn we have ever: seen. By actual count one of the ears has 1H0 grains on it. Fifty three ears of that kind will make a bushel of shelled com. Mr. Keys says this corn was produced on land tnat was long ago considered worthless or non-productive by many persons. South Carolina has few better farmers than Mr. Keys. The attention of school trustees' and . school patrons is called to the fact that ar I rangements. have' been entered into by I which any old book which has been 'dis? placed by a new by the recent action of the Board, can be exchanged for a new one, on the same branch of study, at- the book-stores by paying the exchange price. "If; there are only a few reaves oftbe old book on hand, they can be exchanged for a new one. Hon. Fred. H. Hayselden and family, who have been visiting, relatives in An? derson, Piokens and Oconee Counties, for I the past six .months, left on their return trip home to Honolulu, Haiwaian Is Ilands, last Taesday. Mr. and Mrs. Hay-, seiden, have greatly enjoyed, their visit to South Carolina," especially to the lat ter's old-home at Sandy Springs,, and mado many new friends and' acquaintan J ces daring their stay. Last week a man calling himself Good J appeared in the Toney Creek section. He claimed to have been wounded in the late I war, and was begging for enough money to carry him to the ''Soldiers' Home" in Richmond, Va. ? When first heard of he -justlaoked .three dollar* of having enough money to carryhim j through, and when last heard from he was still wanting that much, ithongb he had collected several dollars 2 in the meantime. When any I one would refuse to give him a contribu? tion, it would make him very mad and he would use anything else bnt refined lan? guage. He is evidently an i mposter. p. Julius E. Boggs, Esq., editor of the Fickens Sentinel, has been attending Court this week, and on Taesday represented Mosses J. A. Steward, W. R. A. Garrett and S. J. Cater who were indicted for larceny, or stealing a still from Mr. B. F. Dacus, of Pendleton. Mr. Boggs handled the case in a very clover manner, and sue . ceeded in gettingfa verdict of acquittal for the defendants. His speech before the jury was a very fine effort, and clearly marks him as one of the rising young lawyers of upper Carolina. Friend Boggs is a young I man, with a pleasant and courteous ad? dress, and is destined to take a front rank in his profession. Mrs. Sarah J. Carlisle, wife of Mr. D. E. Carlisle, died very suddenly at her home in this city on last Sunday. Mrs. Carlisle was in delicate health, and had been so for a number of years. On Sunday morning she arose in her usual health, and, after 1 attending to her household duties, began making preparations to go to Church, and while thus engaged she was stricken with apoplexy." She lingered in an unconscious state until .1 o'clock, when she quietly passed away. Mrs. Cariisle was 49 years of age, and was a most excellent Christian lady, ha-Iog been a faithful member of the MethodistXhurch since her childhood days. ' Her death was a great shock to her many friends and acqalntances, all of whom deeply sympathize, with the be? reaved husband and four children who are left to mourn her death. . On Monday afternoon, after impressive funeral ser? vices, conducted by Rev. W. S. "Wightman and Rev. W. A. Hodges, the remains were laid to rest in, the Presbyterian cemetery. J Rev. A. A. Morse and wife, of Coosaw, S. C, arrived in the city last Thursday and remained until Tuesday, and their visit has certainly been enjoyed by their many old- friends and acquaintances. Twenty-five years ago Mr. Moise came to Anderson as pastor of the Presbyterian Church, and remained here for ten years. Many changes have occurred within that time, and the greater portion of his old congregation have "passed over the riv? er." Last Sunday- ho preached both morning and evening in the Presbyterian Church, and his sermons were eloquent, logical and impressive. At the morning service, before taking bis text, he alluded to the pleasant years he had spent in An? derson, and said that he could call to mind, only five persons who were now living in Anderson who were members of I his Church when he first came here. Mr. Morse is seventy years of age, but he has been a remarkably well-preserved man, and still, retains much of his youthful vigor, both mental and physical. He will, no doubt, be able to do many more ?ears of service in the Master's vineyard, he many friends of both he and his good wife regret that their stay- in our midst could not be prolonged. They re? turned home,, carrying with them the prayers and best wishes of all their friends). ' ' ? Important. Mb. Editor : Please announce that the Trade Committee of the Anderson County Farmers' Alliance will meet at Pierce to wn on Thursday, 1st day of November, at 10 o'clock a. m. It is important that every member of the Committee be pres? ent. J. W. BowpEN, Chm'n. Williams ton Items.. We are having fine weather, and cotton is getting out of the field in a bnrry. Mr. J. R. Wilson, who some time ago sold his laud to the Pelzer Manufacturing Company, is selling his cows, hoises, moles and other personal property, to move to Texas about December. This community will lose a good citizen when he leaves. We regret to give him up. Work on the culvert is progressing slowly. . Book agents are plentiful now. Several were in town Monday. The College has forty tbiee boarders now. Mr. H. I. Horton will soon move into the house heretofore occupied by the late Mrs. Sarah J. Rogers; He keeps shingles on hand to sell. E. C- H. Iiebapon Items, The cool weather seems to have brought a new appetite to those who had the mumps, and others who said their break? fast was not very suitable to their palate. Most of the farmers are done gathering com, and nearly all say they will make plenty. One of our colored brothers says by mixing a little com along with h? po? tatoes, he can make out splendid. One of young men called to see his best girl a few evenings ago,'and after being in company with her for some time, she asked him what would be have for supper, or rather his favorite dish* He replied that all he wanted for sapper was a sweet kiss. Then, after changing her lips in a very acceptable position, answered very gently, supper is ready. The farmers say now is the busiest time of the year, as there is cottou to pick, wood to gat, oats to sow and blues tone to buy. we think the potato crop is as good as we have ever seen, and as one of our boys says, the cussed pies will be no object. Prof. W. P. Holland's school will open the first Monday in November. We think he will have a larger school than ever this incoming year. A. B.

The third Sunday in October, 1888, will be long remembered by the people of Bel ton and the surrounding country. On that day the new Baptist Church was-ded? icated. The building is certainly an ornament to the villago and a monument to the en? terprise and liberality of the congregation. It is a beautiful piece of architecture?a frame building, fifty by thirty feet, with pulpit, baptistry arH dressing-rooms on one side and the ? .oir loft on the other. There are four entrances to the building, two in front and two in the rear. The plan of the building is unique, and makes j the house one of the most convenient to its size in the whole country. It is neatly furnished, and the inside, as well as the outside, is beautifully painted. The win? dows are of stained glass. The seating capacity of the house is , suid to be about three hundred, but last Sunday, some time before tbe appointed hour for tbe services to begin, a much larger number was seated. Three young gentlemen acted as ushers, and well did they do their duty. Every available space in the aisles and dressing rooms was filled with chairs. Sec vi cph began with a beautiful volun? tary by the choir. Rev. J. S. Murray led in prayer. After singing "All hail the Power of Jesus' Name," the pastor, Dr. Manly, gave a brief history of the erection of the. new bouse of worship. He said I that on Sunday, October 1G, 1887, notice was given that on the first Sunday in No | vember the question of continuing in tbe I house then occupied or of building a new one would be cousidered. When that. Sunday came around it was decided to build a new house, and that it be located in the central part of the town. A com? mittee, consisting of Messrs. J. M. Geer, A. J. Stringer, F. Cllnkscales, E. B. Rice, I R. A Lewis, and G. W. McGee, was ap? pointed to solid t subscriptions and to col? lect information in reference to location. On the 20th November tb-is Committee I reported progress as to subscriptions, and recommended the purchase if the lot on which the house Is built. On February. 5th, 1888, Messrs. J. M. Geer, J. T. Green,' A. J. Stringer. F. Clinkscales, G. W. McGee and E. B. Rice were appointed as a Bnilding Committee, with power to raise funds, determine on kind of house I and contract for the erection of same. In ( July tbe Committee contracted with Mr. J. H. Wren, of Due West, for the erection I of the building and completing it for the j sum of $2,325. The. furnishing of the I house has been -provided by the young I people of the Church and congregation, who contributed $200.98, and by the "Lit j tie Gleaners," who contributed $30 00. Everything, so far, is'paid for, including two stoves, which will be placed in posi? tion, and an insurance policy of $2,000 for three years. It is proposed to inclose tbe church lot with a neat fence, and to get an j organ suited to the use of the ohurch. : Rev. A. A Marshall then delivered the I dedication sermon, taking his text from Ephesians 5:27?"A Glorious Church." The following is a synopsis of the sermon, which was exceedingly forcible and im? pressive, and Which was delivered in Mr. [ Marshall's usual happy style. He began % saying: I have some where read a description of a model home. It was represented as a home where there were no harsh words j and' no unkind - looks, where every one desired tbe happiness and enjoyment of others. Thus a home, lacking the luxu? ries of wealth, was made far happier than more pretentious ones. The . fame of this, humble but happy household- spread far and wide, and was called the model home. A Church, after all,- is but a spiritual fam? ily, having a common Father, "the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in Heaven and earth are named." And every..Church ought to strive to be a model spiritual. home?a gloriousj/hurch, without spot or blemish. Perhaps our ideal of what a Church ought I to be may never be fully realized here ; for, alas, too often the Church, like Noah's j ark, contains the' clean and unclean ; like th? King's, supper, at "which there were some without the wedding garment. But without a lofty ideal we cannot hope to accomplish much, for man seldom reaches but never passes his ideal. The extent of our thought is the limit of our possibili? ties. I shall endeavor to-day to present I for your consideration tbe essential ele? ments of successful church work, the means which, if thoroughly followed, will make tbe Church glorious in tbe sight of God and helpful to fallen humanity. The first, essential element of success Is a {.regenerated membership. Regeneration is that complete ohange hi tbe human heart that makes us love God and desire his glory. It marks, the beginning of Chris? tian life. The success and prosperity of the Church?nay, its very existence?will depend upon whether it Is essentially com? posed of regenerated members. As we fall below tbe ideal we may expect discord and failure. I can but view with alarm the tendency in certain directions to teach that regeneration is not a prerequisite to church membership, or that church mem? bership mav prove a means of grace to the unsaved. Especially is this true when we consider the influence for evil which may be exerted by one man. Sin, as well as grace, works like leaven, and tends to leaven the whole lump, Tbe power and influence of every ohurch is lessened in proportion as it has in its fellowship those who have never felt the regenerating in? fluence of the Holy Spirit. Where there is a regenerated membership we may ex? pect brotherly love' and mutual forbear I ance. However good men may be, in this life they are not perfect; so that there will arise many things to test our love and demand our forbearance. However homo? geneous a church may be, questions will arise about which we will differ?questions whereon no amount of argument will cause us to see alike. I have long ago de? cided that mere argument as often widens as it heals a breach. Who has not had the experience of him who said: "We argued the thing at breakfast and we argued it again at tea, and tbe more we argued the question the more we didn't agree. I held my own opinion, he another had, and when we were done a talking, we both of us were mad." While there may exist this difference upon non-essentials, there are essentials upon which we may not differ without injury to the cause. It is necessary that certain clearly revealed truths, that have been generally received and expressed in articles of faith, shall constitute an inner circle.of essential agreement, while outside that inner circle we may and will differ, A church ought I to allow a wide range for the exercise of individual opinions upon questions spec? ulative, as well as in the interpretation of particular passages, when that interpreta? tion does not impinge against the vital truths of Scripture, while on the other hand it must insist upon the reception of those great truths that lie at the founda? tion of our system, and which are esteem? ed to be vital, essential and necessary. To fail in tbe former would be bigotry, to neglect the latter would be suicidal, and result in spiritual anarchy. The second element of a successful ohurch is an ear? nest desire for the glory of God, and a willingness to work for it. I do not mean to overlook faith as an essential element, but I believe that faith and works are mar? ried and inseparable. They are bound to? gether as causo and effect, so that faith serves as the measure of our capacity for working. We can do no more than our faith allows us, and we can do no less. To do more would be impossible, to do less y would be unnatural. So that a working \ church is already a faiififul church. The phurch, then, ought to be a working so? ciety, a hive of industry, As men are employed to watch the danggepus coasts to save the shipwrecked, so ', church is to watch for souls, for it is - ?: j life-saving service of tbe Almighty. Our obligation is not met in singing hymns and repeating prayers, for Christianity is not ritualism. Nor is it met in giving vent to pent-up joys in shouts and halleluiahs, for chris j tianity is not emotionalism, nor is noise and demonstration (be measure of a man's' piety. Shallow rivers are always noisy, and the drum is loud because it is hollow. Deep feeling, like deep rivers, runs silent? ly. Religion has its perfect emblem in tbe words of the Savior, "Ye are the light of tbe world." Religion is deep principle, coming from the centre of a regenerated heart?it manifests itself in all tbe duties and relations of life. The man who has it feels as cert duly prompted to work aa the bird to fly or the fish to &wim. In proportion as we follow and encourage this heavenly impulse will be the happi? ness of the individual and the success and glory of the church. We sometimes hin? der oiir work when we would hasten it. Patience in our work Is as essential as the work itself. The judicious use of societies and organizations may bo helpful, but I fear that we multiply societies more rap? idly than we increase the real power of the church. Organization as the result of life, may be very good, but organization without life, or to produce life, is-a failure. In our work we sometimes mistake change for progress. Under the direction of a new pastor changes in plans are made, which, from thejr novelty, add to the congregation or increase the contribution, men say what strides we are making how we are improving, just as if change was progress and novelty success. Change is not progress, for often the old was better than new. It is not new plans that we need, but a better working of the old ones. A working church Will always be a liberal one. At any rate liberality is an essential grace, and a stingy ohurch can never be a successful one. The hard? est part of our nature to overcome, is the spirit- of greed and covetousness. It is not more money in the pockets of Chris? tian men that we need, but some plan by I which we may reach what is already there. A. G.

DON'T BUT BEFORE YOU SEE THE BARGAINS OFFERED. -Roc* -Rlnft PlflTiTiAl Ruits $8.50 There is surplus money enough in tbe hands of Christian men to Bend the gospel to all tbe heathen, and enough left to build churches in every ueighborkood. When we see how little some churches are doing in the way of gifts and offerings, one can but feel like the pastor who said, "when I look at the congregation .in their elegant attire, I feel like saying where are the poor ? but when I count the contribu? tions in the' basket, I feel like saying where are the rich ?" Alas, we serve the world like kings, while we serve God like beggars. In our service of the Master there are certain incidental helps which we can not overlook, the character of music and the attractiveness of our church buildings. Why, it is a well known fact that our Methodist brethren have verily sung themselves around the world. There is power in music I have felt my own soul lifted up on billows of song and drifted heavenward 'till I could r nost see the flashing splendors of the glory-lit city. The building erected under divino direction surpassed in grandeur and beauty all other buildings'. A good church building is an evidence of a sincere desire to glorify God, and manifests a spirit of liberality commendable in all Christians. We must make the church more attrac? tive than tbe saloon, more inviting than the theatre. The work you have done here in erecting so convenient and attrac? tive a house, reflects credit on you and shows a spirit of labor and love. The last element! would mention.is the ne? cessity of proper discipline. No church can ha successful that ignore? this. ' The welfare of individuals as well as tbe good name of the church demands it. Bseth ren, this day works a new era in your church history. You have been permitted by the blessing of God to erect a neat and comfortable house and free of debt, to dedicate it to the Lord. Remember, brethren, this increase of opportunity brings an increase in responsibility. Fol? low then, faithfully, the teachings of God's word, that he may make this a glo? rious church?a model congregation. Profit by your fast failures, and improve upon your past successes. Watch the door to your fellowship, be active and earnest, watch over one another for good, and I believe that your past prosperity will be not a tithe of the glory and suc? cess that await you. I pray then that this may be a model church, and may the glory of this latter house be greater than the former, and in this place may the Lord of Hosts give peace. At the conclusion of Mr. Marshall's ser? mon, the pastor. Dr. Manly, offered prayer, and in a short time the congrega? tion was dismissed. Tlitt Circuit Court. Tne October term of tbe Court of Gene? ral Sessions for Anderson County convened last Monday, his Honor Judge I. D. With erspoon, of the Sixth Circuit, presiding, Solicitor Orr" and Stenographer Aiken were promptly at their posts. Judge Witberspoon made a brief and comprehensive charge to the Grand Jury.

State vs. Pat Wright, carrying concealed weapons. On Tuesday the Grand Jqry made their presentment and were discharged. The following is tbe presentment: To the Son. I. P. Withcrspoon, Presiding Judge: We have by a committee of our number visited the County Poor House and find the inmates well cared for and the institution kept in such a manner as to reflect credit upon the County. We think that the County is to be congratulated in securing the services, not only of the Steward, but especially of the Stewardess, Mrs. McGill, who is certainly the right woman in tbe light place. At the last term of Court we recom? mended that the County CoruiuissionerB have the Jail properly heated before the beginning of winter. We notice that our recommendation has not heen heeded. We think, that while the Jail is not de? signed to be a paradise, yet there should be such conveniences as to keep the prisoners from suffering from severe cold weather, and we hope that the County Commission? ers will at an early day provide some way of heating the Jail. Having at a previous term of the Court examined the. various County offices, we have not givon them at this term more than a cursory notice, but feel satisfied that they are all properly kept. We have heretofore recommended that tbe County Commissioners make some disposition of the remnant of the Jron Bridge on Seneca Rivpr. We again call their atteution to this matter, and hope they will take some stops to utilize the irons which still remain on the hanks of the river and are unprotected, parts of which have already boen removed by par? ties without authority. We are in receipt of a letter informing us that one Floyd Stafford is practicing medi? cine near Belton, contrary to the laws of the State, but our informer does not state in what respects he violates the law, nor docs he give the names of witnesses to establish tb? charge. Floyd Stafford is tho name of the man more commonly known as the "Indian Doctor." We men? tion this matter in order that the Solicitor may take such steps as he may deem advis? able to have the matter inquired into. We have examined the criminal dockets of Trial Justices J. H. Hutchison, B. C. Hard, B. F. Shirley, C. Wardlaw and J. W. Quattlebaum, and find them properly kept as far as we are able tQ perceive. Our attention has been called to the mat? ter that C. Wardlaw, as a Trial Justice, re? leased upon his own reaognissanoe one Ben, Collins who woa committed for car? rying concealed weapons. While we are satisfied that Mr. Wardlaw thought he was acting in the interest of the community, and intended to commit no wrong, yet we think suoh action irregular, and only call attention to the matter in order to suggest that Trial Justices should he careful not to take insufficient recognizances from those charged with crimes. In conclusion we return our thanks to his Honor, the Solicitor and other officers of the Court for]courtesies shown us during the term. Respectfully submitted, P. K. McC?lly, Foreman. ? Up to the hour of going to press, the fol? lowing cases have been disposed of: John Sloan, who was charged with car? rying concealed weapons, plead guilty, and was sentenced to nay a fine of $30.00 or be imprisoned in the Penitentiary for three months. The case of Ben. Collins, charged with carrying concealed weapons, was next taken up. Collins was not present, bnt he was found guilty, and a sealed sentence was made against him. John J. Bonds was tried for assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, but he was found not guilty. Scott Brown, who was charged with as? sault and battery with intent to kill and of a high and aggravated nature, was found guilty on second count. He was remand? ed for sentence. .. . In the case of Pat. and Andy Wright, charged with assault and battery with in? tent to kill and of a high and aggravated nature, the jury returned a verdict of guilty as to Pat. on second count, and not guilty as to Andy. In the case of J. A. Stewart, W. R. A. Ourrett and It.. J. Cuter, churged with grand larceny, a verdict of not guilty was rendered. Tbe cases against C. L.
