The meeting of the Anderson County Survivors' Association in the Court House last Monday was very well at? tended, and a number of new names were added to the roll of members. Nothing of publio interest was transacted in the meeting, which had been called for the purpose of appointing a committee of five to co-operate with the County Pension Board. That Committee consists of Messrs. J. Jameson, R. V. Acker, JiT. O. Farmer, D. J. Sherard and C. B. Gilmer. The prospects for building a cotton fac? tory in Anderson are very bright, but just now the enterprise is at a crisis, and our people shonld not lose interest in it. If we miss this opportunity, we may not have another opportunity In years to come. A few more thousand dollars is needed to ensure the building of the fac? tory, and It is the duty of every citizen, who feels any interest in the future of our growing city, to subscribe every dollar that he possibly can spare to the enter? prise. We love to bear other enterprises talked of, but just now our people should feel more interested in the suocssa of the Anderson Cotton Mills than any other enterprise that is being agitated. I The Toney Creek correspondent of the Greenville JVeuw, under date of the 8th inst., says: "A man from near Fountain Inn passed Wednesday morning on his return from Anderson, where he had been to swap horses. He was on foot, with a bridle on his arm and a saddle on bis back, making tracks for home. He claimed that bis horse had fallen and broken his neck. The report is, that the horse bad imbibed too freely, as Anderson is wet now." Last Friday a 4-year-old child of Mir? iam Thompson, colored, who resides in Mr. J. J. Fretwell's yard, in this city, was so severely burned that it died that night. The child, with its little brother, had been left in the house alone, and by some means its clothing caught fire. Someone went to the little one's relief and fnund it* wrapped up in a quilt, which, it is supposed, he had done to smother the flames. .Its body was burned in several places, and iu sufferings were intense until death came to its relief. The Baptist Courier, of last week, says : "The Belton Church had an enjoyable season last Sunday. It was the seventh anniversary of the pastorate of Dr. Chas. Manly, and it was celebrated by conclud? ing the payment for their organ and a couple of stoves, which loaves the church without a dollar of indebtedness. Dr. Manly preached from the same text he used in his first sermon seven years ago, but this does not signify that he has up? turned "the barrel." Belton rejoices in the progress made under his direction, and they were never more united or active in the work of the Lord." Mr. Thos. B. Palmer died at his home, in Pendleton Township, on Tuesday, the 5th in at. A few days preceding be receiv? ed a stroke of paralysis, which rendered him helpless and speechless, and which caused his death. Mr. Palmer was about 60 years of age, and was one of Anderson County's best citizens, whose death is deeply deplored by a wide circle of friends and relatives. He was a faithful member of Smith Chapel (Methodist Churoh.) His remains were interred at Cedar Grove Church on the day following his death, Rev. J. Walter Dicksoh and Bev. T. P. Phillips conducting the funeral ser? vices. A wife and eight children are left to mourn his death. Pbillis Maqsel, an old colored woman, about 80 years of age, living on Mr. C. P. Kay's plantation, in Belton Township, died very suddenly last Thursday morn? ing. While setting by the fire nursing a little grand-child, her daughter-in-law, who was in the far end of the room, heard the child fall to the floor, and, upon look? ing around, saw the old woman falling to the floor. She at once went to the old woman and found her dead. The old woman had eaten a hearty breakfast that morning, and was apparently as well as usual, and b.er sudden death caused some excitement in the neighborhood. Coroner Nance, being notified of the death, held an inquest over the deceased on Friday, and the jury, after hearing the evidence and the statement of the physician, ren? dered a verdict that heart disease was the cause of her death. The Hartwell Sun, of last week, con? tained the following notice of the death of a former citizen of Anderson : "Mr. Sea- I born Jones, a former resident of this 1 County, was buried at Cokesbury Church on- last Sunday. Mr. Jones died at the ' home of Mr. Frank Sitlon, near Seneca, S. C, Saturday .morning, February 2nd, and by bis request .was brough t to Cokes- 1 bury for interment. Mr. Jones'lived for : many years near this Church, of which he was then a member, and filled the offices 1 of Trustee and Steward. He was also a magistrate for several years, and a promi? nent and influential citizen. He moved 1 to Anderson a short time after the war, : and lived there and in the adjacent Counties with bis children tilLhis death. He was in his seventy-sixth year,?and with the exception of Mr. Joe Jones of 1 Carne&ville, is the last of the family. He leaves many friends and relatives to. mourn his departure." 1 The following books and periodicals , have been donated to the Anderson Li? brary Association since the opening of its . rooms to the public: By Mrs. Kate B.

Our city is certainly on a boom, not a mushroom growth, but a real, solid, sub? stantial boom. She has many ad van* tages whioh are becoming known abroad and realized at home. Situated, as she is, in a Sue farming section, at a proper dis? tance from the foot of the mountains, she is naturally the center of trade for a very large section of country.. Her merchants are live, energetic and enterprising, always giving the highest market prices for cotton, and selling their goods at bot? tom living prices. Consequently, she has the reputation of (being the best cotton market in the up county. AH these being realized by our citizens, they have set to work iu earnest to build the finest hotoj iu this section of the State. The cotton mills are now regarded as aoertainty, and a new Masonic Building, with an Opera House, will be erected the. coming sum? mer. Besides these, a number of other buildings are iu process of erection, or to be commenced soon. . Subscriptions to stock for a Savings Bank will soon be started, and is considered sure. Store rooms are in demand. The employment of labor in these improvements puts money in circulation and makes money matters easier. Why go to Birmingham or elsewhere to find a boom, when you have it at your very door? Messrs. Breazeale & lLong, taking advantage of the boom in the city, have established a Beal Estate Agency in connection with their law practioe. They have already two lots in the city which they offer for sale. Persons desiring to buy or sell will do well to call upon them.

Court met at 10 o'clock Monday morn? ing, Judge Fraeer presiding, and Solicitor Ansel, with the other Court officers, in their places. ? The Grand Jury was impanellod, with W. C. Andrew as Foreman. The Commissions of the Solicitor, Clerk and Sheriff were read. His Honor then briefly charged the Grand Jury as to the general duties of that body, dwelling upon the great im? portance of the faithful discharge of that duty. He made feeling allusion to the illness of Judge Kershaw, the Judge of this Circuit, and expressed the hope that he might soon resume his duties, and that he would be spared for many more years of usefulness in the position which he so worthily fills. The Solicitor handed out several Bills, upon all of which the Grand Jury subse? quently returned "True Bills." While waiting for the action of the Grand Jury, an old case?State vs. L. Laboon?was taken up and tried. The charge was "resisting an officer, and as? sault and battery of high and aggravated nature.". The defendant was represented by E. B. Murray, Esq., who raised the point that the Special Constable who served the process on Mr. Laboon, and out of which the "resistance" arose, bad not been properly depntized, and that, therefore, he was without authority to serve the process, and consequently re? sistance to him was not "resisting an offi? cer." His Honor charged in accordance with the propositions above indicated; basing his ruling on Sections 801 and 865 of the General Statutes, and in which he was undoubtedly correct. Under the charge of the Court the Jury found the defendant guilty only on the second count of the indictment. The ruling of Judge Fraser in the above case is important for our Trial Justices to remember, and they should be sure in the future to make their Special Consta bles take the oath as laid down in the Sections above indicated, with whatever amendments that may have been made since the passing of the Statutes of 1882. In the afternoon Fink Shell was ar? raigned, and Thursday morning Bet for the date of his trial. Mr. Quattlebaum appeared for the defense. The next case tried was the State vs. Henry Thornley, charged with abduction. Mr. Prince appeared for the defendant, and succeeded in securing an acquittal for his client. . ? ? Sam'1 Hammond, who was indicted for larceny and carrying concealed weapons, plead guilty to both charges. Court met again on Tuesday at half-past nine o'clock, and at once went into the trial of the case of State vs. Peter Hall and his five sons for riot (the Starr riot case). The case was very earnestly con? tested, Maj. E. B. Murray assisting the Solicitor and W. S. Brown and Col. J. L, Orr representing the prisoners. The tes? timony was all in by 5 o'clock in the after? noon, when Mr. Murray made theopeniug argument for the State, and was followed by Mr. Brown for the defense. At about 7 o'clook Court adjourned to Wednesday morning, when Cel. Orr made an exceed? ingly able argument for the defense. Ar? gument was closed by the Solicitor mak? ing a very fine speech. Up to the hour of going to press the jury had not rendered a verdlct> The cases against Mrs M. E. Keese were continued on motion of the Solicitor, Jadge Fraser preferring to clear the Jail before taking np any other cases, as he only had a very short time to stay here, and will have to leave on Saturday so as to reaoh the Fairfield Court, which opens on Monday. The Grand Jury made their present? ment Wednesday morning and were dis? charged. The presentment contains a number of important recommendations, none of which, however, are of great pub? lic interest. They recommend some im? provements in the County Jail, and that some more conveniences be placed in the Court House. They also recommend that a safe be purchased for the Clerk's office, and a new desk for the Master's office, both of which are badly needed. The robbing of the "Indian Doctor" is re? ferred to, and the Solicitor is instructed to have a thorough investigation made of it. A committee, consisting of W. C. An* drew, J. P. Broyles and C. C. Cammings was appointed to examine the County officers and report at the next term o; Court. The presentment concludes with an expression of sympathy for Judge Kershaw in his sickness, and expresses the hope that be will soon be restored to health, and that he will long be spared to adorn the Bench. All who have been brought in contact with Mr. Ansel, concur in the opinion that he is a worthy successor to the dis? tinguished gentleman, Col. Orr, who so long graced the Solicitor's office; and all feel that they put the "right man in the right place," when they elected Mr. AnBel Solicitor. ' Honen Path Items. Mr. Walker HIggins, who lives a few miles below here, moved to Arkansas in January, and after an absence of thirteen days, returned to South Carolina. He stayed seven days in Arkansas and got sick.

Minneapolis, Feb. 7.?The .wheat now in the Northwest (Minnesota and Dako? ta,) outside the farmers' hands,'is estima? ted at a little more than seventeen million bushels. A year ago the amount was nearly thirty-five million bushels. The quantity kept by the farmers as surplus, above bread and seed, is variously esti? mated at four million to (en million bushels, and usually called about six million bushels. That is probably about half as much as was left in their hands a year ago. The total quantity of wheat available to go outside is approximately 23,000,000 bushels, against 47,000,000 bushels February 1 a year ago. There were 7,241,000 bushels in country eleva? tors Feb. 1, which, with the estimated 5,000,000 bushels in, farmers' grauarieB, makes 13,241,000 bushels yet to be moved from the ioterior this crop year, against $1,235,000 bushels a year ago, or 42} per sent. That amount is more than five million bushel? less than came to Minne? apolis afier Feb. 1 from the previous crop. Should every bushel of surplus wheat cow in the interior in the North? west come to Minneapolis and the relative shipments continue the same, there would be a little more than one million bushels less to grind here than was ground between Feb. 1 and Septem ber 1 last year, without leaving any sur? plus in the farmers' bands nor a bushel in either private or public elevators in Minneapolis or the country. That the mills must lie idle much of the time between now and another harvest is cer tain. They would have to do it even if there woe a profit in grinding, as theie is not the wheat to keep them run ning _ ? A young man named Golden was arrefatc-d in Bam well county, S. C, as Ed.
