The Court of Common Pleas adjourned last Saturday, the whole week belog.con sumed in trying jury cases. Judge With erspoon will return to the oity to day and will attend to Equity business to-morrow: The session just closed was. a very labori? ous one,' but quite a number of cases were disposed of. ? The Jurors were glad when" ,they Were told that'they could go. Now that cotton is coming in freely and farmers nre closing up their accounts . with the-merchants who have trusted . them, we hope that they will not forget or i neglect their accounts due for. subscrip | tibn at this office. A debt for a newspa-. per is just as honorable a debt as .for mer? chandise, and should be paid as promptly and as willingly, j Don't forget us friends. We need all the money due the office.r . The many friends and acquaintances of Mr; and Mrs. W. A. Geer. of Broadaway Township, deeply sympathize with tbem in the death of their eldest son, Eugene, aged 13 .years, who': died last Friday, the 2nd inst., after an- Illness of about five weeks1 With typhoid fever. ^His* remains were interred. at Belton on Saturday. -Eugene was a:,bright, amiable boy, and while his'bereaved, parents are grieving his death, they have the consolation of knowing that he has gone to a brighter world. v'Onr young-friend, Henry W. Stephens, called to see; us Tuesday morning.? For the past three or four years Mr. Stephens has been employedby the Air line Rail? road Company at Belt Junction, but a few'days ago, to his surprise, he was. noti? fied that he had been promoted to the posi? tion of Assistant Route Agent of the -R. & D. system, with headquarters at Greenville. His new position requires htm to {ravel and look up Jost freight. Henry's many friends in this city, his old home, will be delighted to bear of his promotion: ? ^ ? Mr. Thos. H. McKinney, formerly of this city, but who has been residing at Buford, Ga,, for several years past, died at that place on last Saturday, after a very brief illness, aged about 35 years. His remains were carried to Harmony Grove, Ga., for interment. Mr. R. F. McKinney, accompanied by bis mother, of .this city, attended the funeral. Mr. McKinney was au upright, honest man, and was for several. years a devoted and exemplary member of the Methodist Church. His frieuds in this city regretted to hear of his death. He leaves a wife aud four I children. An important change of the schedule went into effect on Savannah Valley Bail road last Sunday. We now have two trains a day each way over the Road, and times of arrival and departure is as fol? lows: Leave Anderson at 5.45 a. m. and 4 p. m; and arrive back at 2.15p. m. and 11.45 p. m. The morning train will land passengers in Augusta at 11 o'clock a. m., and the afternoon .train at 9 o'clock at night. Under the present schedule our ' citizens can leave Anderson in the morn? ing, .spend several hours in Augusta, and return home that night. The corrected schedule will appear next week. .

Thomson, of the Walhalla ?Courier, has this to say abont Anderson; "Busi? ness called us to Anderson last Tuesday. Court was still in session. On the way down we noticed the fields were white with cotton. The city was alive with cot? ton wagons, the public square being crowded. We believe over two hundred bales changed hands that day. About l o'clock we counted 15 bales passing one street into town in five minutes. The town was lively and bad the appearance of a real business place. Cotton, we heard, w.is bringing 9? cents for middling. We hear as much as 400 bales have been sold in the oity on several days this sea? son." The Farmers' Association .of Anderson County met in the Court House last Mon? day, and was called to order by the Coun? ty Chairman, Capt. D. K. Norrie. The meeting was well attended, nearly all of the most prominent farmers of the County being present. Capt. Norris, after calling the meeting to order, made an excellent speech, setting forth the ob? ject, ends and alms of the farmers' move? ment in South Carolina. Col. W. E. Walters was requested to act as Secretary. The fi^tbusiness was the election of offi? cers to serve the Association the ensuing year. Capt. Norris was nominated for County Chairman, and Col. Walters for Secretary, and both these gentlemen were re-elected by acclamation. The following delegates wore then elected to the State Association, which meets in Columbia on Wednesday, the 14th inst.: D. K. Norris, J. P. Smith, W. A. Neal, J. W. Bowden and J. A. Hall; alternates, W. A'. Geer, John M. Glenn and T. W. Martin. The interest manifested in the) meeting proved conclusively that there is no abatement of interest in this County in the farmers' movement, " A Pretty Eoof, Mr. Feastsr Brown's roof on residence, recently painted with Mr, T. C. MoDon aald's Slate .Coating, is pronounced by all who have kseen it tobe the prettiest roof in the city. 18-r-t i ' The Election in Anderson County. The election passed off. very quietly in the County, and the vote is probably the lightest we have ever polled. We have not heard of a single quarrel or disaster in the County. The negroes manifested very little interest in the election, and at a number of precincts there was not a Re? publican vote cast. At the Anderson precinct there are about 1300 registered voters, but on Tuesday only about one third of this number voted at the Federal boxes and considerably less at the State boxes. At the State boxes there were 333 votes cast; at the Federal boxes the Cleveland electors-received 434 votes and the Harrison electors 67. It is doubtful whether the total vote in the county will exceed 2,000. The "Indian Doctor" Robbed. Last Friday night Floyd Stafford, who 1 is generally known as the "Indian Doctor," I residing near Calboun, a few miles east of Belton, was robbed of about nine hundred dollar* There are various rumors in re? ference to the robbery, and if these rumors prove correct it will cause a big sensation. The Toney Creek correspondent of the Greenville News gives. the following ac count of the robbery, which is about all the information that has been made pub "On last Friday night some persons made a raid on the Indian Doctor, Floyd Stafford, who is located some three miles from this place, and robbed him of between eight hundred and one thousand dollars. Stafford had his money in a large trunk un? der a bed in the room in which he slept. He claims that the door was opened by a man who was. spending the night with him, and parties from the outside came in and took the trunk out and ran off with it. Stafford's wife saw the parties as they were leaving the house and followed them some distance, but they out ran her. The trunk was found next morning about one-half mile from the house, all the money taken out, except five dollars and forty cents, which had been overlooked in the darkness. A pair of pants was missing, which was supposed to have been used, in carrying off the money, it being all specie. The man who was in the house with the Indian has been arrested and has made a confession of the whole plot, implicating men who be? long to the best families in the county. Further developments are expected. The community is very much excited over the robbery." Since the above was written Mr. Gus. Poore, who was in the "Doctor's" house at the time of the robbery, has been commit? ted to Jail, and everybody is anxiously awaiting further developments. The two negroes above referred to, who were sus picioned, have since been'discharged from 'arrest Since the above was put in type, we learn that the money has been recovered, and Mr. Poore discharged from arrest. A Blot at Starr Station. Last Saturday afternoon a serious diffi? culty, or what might be termed a small riot, occurred at Starr Station, on the Sa? vannah Valley Railroad, about eleven miles South of this city. From all information we can gather, it seems that Mr. Gus Bowie and a negro named John Hall had had a difficulty sometime last summer, and that the negro .had threatened to kill Mr. Bowie the first time he met him. They met for the first time since the difficulty at Starr Satur? day afternoon, and the old feud was re? newed. Some words passed between them, and they then came to blows. In a few seconds Hall's father and four brothers, with .another negro, named John Sadler, came to his assistance. Mr. Bowie was knocked down, and the seven -negroes were fighting him. At this junc? ture two of Mr. Bowie's friends, who were some distance away, seeing the- row, ran to his assistance, and as they came up the negroes attacked, them. About this time a pistol shot was fired, and this attracted the attention of a number of gentlemen who were in a store and in the Masonic Lodge: Room. These gentlemen ran out, and as they did so they were fired into by the negroes;-all of whom were armed with shot guns and pistols. Among those who ran out of the store was Mr. John W. Bowie, father of the young man who had been attacked. When he made his appearance a negro deliberately fired at him, and he was slightly wounded in the leg. The. shooting continued until about thirty shot." were fired. The white men were bo completely surprised, and not being armed themselves, a number of them took refuge behind a wagon body to save their lives. This wagon body, it is said, was struck by several pistol balls. In the meantime the negroes retired to a place on the other side of the railroad, reloaded their pistols and guns, and threatened to kill any white man who would attempt to cross the railroad. It is believed that several other negroes were added to the party after they crossed the railroad. During the shooting Mr. John W. Bowie was the only white man who was wounded,- though it is a miracle that several of them were not killed. Mr. Gus. Bowie was painfully bruised in the face and on the head by blows from the negroes when they first attacked him. One negro was slightly wounded in the leg. . As soon as quiet was restored the white gentlemen conferred together. They, of. course, were very indignant at this sudden outburst on the part of the ne? groes, and- a number of them were dis? posed to summon a possed at once and make an attack upon the negroes, but the counsel and advice of the - more conserva? tive prevailed, and it was decided to go before Trial Justice Bryan and swear out a warrant for the arrest of the negroes. This was done Saturday night. During the night the negroes took refuge in the house of Peter Hall, sr., the father of the negro who had attacked Mr. Bowie. Early Sunday morning Trial Justice Bryan summoned a number of special constables and went to the house where the negroes were and asked them to sur? render. The.negroes refused to surren? der, said they would not be arrested, and that they would shoot any man who would attempt to arrest them. Mr. Bryan and his constables then surround? ed the- house, and by threatening to set fire to the house, the negroes were induced to come out' and surrender. They were assured by the officers that they would be protected and that the law should take its course. In the house the officers found a number of guns and pis? tols, all of which were loaded. The ne? groes arrested were Peter Hall and his five sons, John, Yance, Peter, Dock and Phil., and John Sadler. After a prelimi? nary hearing, in default of a bond of $500 each, they were committed to Jail under a charge of riot and assault and battery with intent to kill. From all the circumstances- it seems that John Hall, with his father and brothers, went to Starr Saturday after? noon with the expectation of meeting Mr. Bowie, and that he had notified his friends to be ready to come to his assis? tance, for they were there, armed and ready for the affray. The old negro and all of his sons have a very bad reputation in their neighborhood, and have had fre? quent difficulties with their neighbors. A Word to Tobacco Ohewers. Mb. Editor: Why is it that our churches are not and can not be respected ? Is there no law "to make men respect a church? If there is not then our Repre? sentatives must make a law that will pro? tect God's Houses. I have heard a great deal of complaint by the good women getting their dresses begoraed so badly that (though they have to go to God's House to worship) they dread to go, knowing, or at least believing, that an? other dress will be ruined. A few days since I visited a church for my own satis? faction. A man who will chew tobacco in God's House and spit upon the floor, has either lost all common decency and respect, not only for God, but for all de? cent people, or he never had any. I was in the Methodist Church the other day while- they were sweeping and fixing to ut down a nice carpet, and I declare that never saw anything id the mountains to equal it. The tobacoo ohewers had not only spit the tobacco juice, but flung out the coods on the floor. Shame on any man who would be guilty of such a low down, gourd-bead trick. Such men or boys, ought to be published in the County papers, and I suggest that eaoh church appoint a special committee to watch and report it for publication. I will serve. Whiz.

A big pile of corn was shucked out; then a sumptuous supper was enjoyed, after which Miss Lula Whittaker, an expert organist, gave some very fine music. We are under many obligations to Mrs. W. 0.

In fact, Mr. Cann is one of our best far? mers?one that should be an example for others. . The farmers are preparing to bow a large crop of small grain, which is by no means a bad idea.

The majority of voters in this section are not much interested in the election it seems, consequently, the day will pass off /very qnietly. The demand for cotton pickers still increases, and, thong' the price is good, they cannot be gotten for love nor money. The demand for laboring hands is-gener? ally a good evidence that the financial condition of a country is getting better. Two years ago the County was full of hands, especially colored, offering to work for almost any price. We should all be thankful to Him who has blessed us so abundantly in giving two good crops in succession. Miss Rosa Tribble has taken charge of the school at this place. Miss Rosa is a most efficient teacher, and deserves a good patronage. Rev. B. Hayes has been "-'?cted pastor of Mt. Bethel Church. I has been preaching there tweuty years in succes? sion. A prayer meeting has been organized in the lower part of this Township, con? sisting mostly of men and boys who can't read at all. They generally meet at each other's bouse in the neighborhood once or twice every week. We attended one of their meetings not long since, and found them tobe earnest and happy in the work. Old Uncle Berry Armstrong, or the "white negro, is still living. Tour cor? respondent had a conversation with him some time ago, and takes pleasure in re? cording what the old man thinks of the ohange, which has been so mysteriously wrought upon him. Uncle Berry is about sixty-five year old, and was born and raised within a few miles of Honea Path. After be had lived a negro for sixty years, he noticed some small brown spots, which appeared on his face ; gradually these small spots assumed a light color. For a 'while the old man was uneasy, and began consulting the physicians, but the case was a mystery to all, and the spots con? tinued to grow larger and whiter, until the entire surface of bis face and body was white. When asked, what he thought about it, eaid: "Well, de Lord des showed do people what He can do. I spects He will do more'n dis afore He quits. He done much more wonderful things to de Israelites when He took era, out of Egypt, and led em through de wilr derness forty years." The old man went on : "And I believe de colored people are like de Israelites was, and afore long you will see dat de Lord will take em out'n die county and lead em baok to der native land?Africa. It may be dat de good and blessed Lord has picked me fur to lead em back like Moses led de Israelites." It is rumored that there is going to be another wedding in the neighborhood of Barker's Creek before long.
