Mr. Jas. E. Kelley, who resides on the Craft place, in Corner Township, had the misfortune to have four hundred pounds of cotton and seventy-five bushels of corn destroyed by fire one night last week.

The Due West correspondent of the Ab? beville Press and Banner, says: "Miss Mary White Pearson, of Due West, has just finished a capital life-size drawing of her grandfather, Maj.

The following important circular has just been issued from the office of the State Comptroller General to County Treasurers throughout the State of South Carolina: "The time for the collection of the taxes for the fiscal year commencing November 1st, 1887, and ending October 31st, 1888, is hereby extended to the 15th day of January, 1889, without penalty. In the meantime, it is expected that legisla? tive, action will be bad in the matter of the collection of taxes on Township bonds." . ? Hattie, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Earle, died at Anderson ville on last Monday morning, at half-past 9 o'clock, aged 8 years. She took snddenly ill on Saturday night, and suffered intense pain until the Angel of Death came to her relief Monday morning. She was a sweet, amiable girl, and her sudden death is a sad blow to her devoted parents,( who have many sympathizers in their sore bereavement. Her remains were in? terred at Andersonville on Tuesday, Rev. J. R. Earle conducting the funeral services. Mr. Albert Bowie, of Corner Township, made this year, with one mule, fifteen bales of cotton, averaging 470 pounds to the bale..' Also, one hundred and twenty five bushels of corn, forty bushels of wheat and nearly enough oats to feed bis mule next year. This is hard to beat, and goes to show that it is as easy to make a living in Anderson County as in Texas or anywhere else, if you go about it in the right way. We will remark that Mr. Bowie is a single man, and would advise some of our girls to take his case into consideration before leap year expires. The new advertisement of R. S. Hill should have the careful attention of every reader of the Intelligences. Mr. Hill, as is woll known, is one of our most relia? ble-merchants, and he means just what he says in his advertisement. Tbere are not many business houses in upper Carolina that carry the stock he does, and we know none of them sell any cheaper. He has made a big reduction in prices, in order to reduce bis immense stock, and for the next thirty days it will pay every person in need of dry goods, boots, shoes, hats, etc.. to pay his store a visit. He has a sufficient number of clerks, of both sexes, who are courteous and accommodating, and who will take great pleasure in show? ing their goods, A mosr diabolical assault was commit ted upon the person of Mr. R. P. Black, on the plantation of Rev. Hugh McLees, in Rock Mills Township, last Friday, by a colored-man named George Scott. Mr. Black was plonghing in the field and Scott, who was a tenant on the place, approached him, and after abusing and cursing him, attacked bim with a knife. Mr. Black was so completely surprised that before he had time to defend himself, Scott had cut him in nearly a dozen dif? ferent places. He received two scalp wounds, one extending from the right eye, across the temple, over the ear and to the back of the neck, severing the tempo? ral artery and cutting downward to the bone. The other scalp wound was on the left' side of the head, extending two and one-half inches to the bone. Another severe wound was a stab in the throat, between the internal and external carotid arteries. He was also cut acrqsa tho throat from the upper angle of the right jaw diagonally downward across'to the left collar-bone. He whs' also' stabbed in the' back, 'two inches deep, between the shoulder blades. Dr. R. G. Witberspoon dressed the wounds, and at last accounts Mr.'Blaok 'was. in a yery prifjoal condition; Scptt,' wfco is described ?s being a very stout man, evidently' went 'to the field with the intention of killing Mr. Black, who was unarmed.1 Immediately' after inflicting the wounds .'Sooty disappeared anq has ndf yef bperi, arrgsfed, though, every effort is bejng made to catch biro. The good citizens of tho neighborhood are. yery inffignan't over the affray, and if the would-be assassin is caught ho will suffer the fall penalty of the law. Capt. Elam .Sharpe, a brother of our townsman, Dr. M. L. Sharpe, died at his borne at Dallas, Texas, on tbe 24th of No? vember, aged 70 years. He was stricken with apoplexy on the 19th November, and never regained consciousness. Capt. Sbarpe was a native of Pendleton, and moved West about eighteen years ago. He was a gallant soldier in tbe late war, and a most excellent man. Three sons and two daughters survive him. Tobe Sherard, a young colored man liv? ing in Savannah Township, met with a fatal accident while out hunting on last Thursday, 6th iast. Tobe and Jim Reed, another young negro, were together, but after hunting for awhile, became sepa? rated. Shortly after separating, the dogs began running a rabbit, and Tobe followed them until the rabbit ran into a hollow tree. He came up to the tree and sat his gun down against it, and began making an effort to get the rabbit' out. While thus engaged, the gun was knooked over by the dogs and was discharged,' the whole load entering Tobe'a stomach. He yelled for help, and his cries were heard by his companion, Jim Reed, and a young white man living near by. Both ran to Tobe, who told them how he hap? pened to get shot. They did all they could to alleviate his sufferings, but before they could move him bo died. Coroner Nance held an inquest over tbe remains on last Friday, and the verdiot of the jury was in accordance with the above facts. Our former young townsman, Mr. Wil? lie Murrab, youngest son of Mrs. M. A. Murrah, of this city, died at Crawford, Ga., last Sunday morning, at 2 o'clock, after a very brief illness with typhoid fever. Our young friend was a resident of Athens, but bad gone to Crawford to do a job of work, and while there was. stricken down. His mother was notified of his illness and went to his bedside.* Everybody was very kind to the young man, and when his mother reached him she found that he was receiving every at? tention possible as well as the best medi? cal skill. This was continued until his death. On Tuesday morning Mr. Mur? ray's remains reached this city, and late that .afternoon were laid to rest in the Presbyterian cemetery, Rev. Dr. Frierson conducting the funeral services. Death is sad under any and all circumstances, but when one is cut down upon the very threshold of youthful vigor and promising manhood, it seems sadder still. Our young friend was a most worthy and ex? cellent young man, and the main depen? dence of a widowed mother. He was about 22 years of age, and had been a con? sistent member of tbe Methodist Church for several years. He was a young man of a very quiet, unobtrusive disposition, and was .highly esteemed by a host of friends, who deeply sympathize with the bereaved mother, brother and sisters in their bereavement. Trade Committee. The above Committee, Farmers' Alli? ance, will meet in the Court House, at An? derson, on Monday next, 17th inst., at 12 o'clock precisely. Local business agents are requested to attend this meeting. J. W. Bowden, Secretary. Flercetown Itema. The farmers have almost finished gath? ering cotton. Wheat Bowing is the subjeot most dis? cussed by tbe farmers of this section. Many of them have begun, and some of them have finished sowing. The most of them, we fear, are not bo wing enough. . The Farmers' Alliance, of this comma-. nity, is taking the day with the farmers. Almost all of them are members. On tbe 5th inst. the gin bouse of M. Berry Williams and A. M. Guy ton was destroyed by fire. About three bales of cotton was burned in the seed. The fire is supposed to have originated from the boxing of the gin, which was running very fast without grease. No insurance. We are sorry to note the death of tbe only child of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Burgess. On tbe night of the 5th inst., tbe parents went with the child, an infant- about five months old, to spend the night at the house of Mr. J. J. Burgess: during the night the child was fretful, but .was not thought to be dangerously ill; it grew worse till about nine o'clock on the morning of the 6tb, when it died. The bereaved parents have our most sincere sympathy.

There ia a weather crank at "Rich mond, Va., who predicts that Gen. Har? rison will not live out his term as Presi? dent. He says that in the year when Gen. Harrison, the ancestor of the present President elect, was elected it snowed on the 19th of November, and be only lived one month after bis inauguration. When Gen. Taylor was elected the same year it snowed on the 19th of November, and he only lived a short time. It snowed again on the .19th of November the year Gen. Garfield was elected, and his short reign is fresh in our memories. This year it snowed on the 19th of November, and for this reason he says Harrison will have a short reign. ? Richard It.
