The Port Royal & Western Carolina Railroad Company is fortunate in having in its 'employ such a gentleman as Capt. Waiden, the courteous ?vA accommodat? ing Conductor on the S. V. 11. R. By his pleasant manners he makes a "mash" on nearly every young lady who travels over hiB line. We had a pleasant call Tuesday morn? ing from Mr. W. S. Killings worth, one of the editors and proprietors of The South 'Atlantic, of Greenville, who has been spending a few days in the city in the in? terest of hia journal. The Atlantic is pub? lished monthly at $1.00 per annum, and is well worth the money.

Messrs. J. T. Stall, W. H. Westmore? land and J. P. Hllihouse, three of Green? ville's most popular and handsome young gentlemen, spent last Sunday in the city. If these visits continue, we fear that An? derson will lose some of her fair daugh? ters. But we won't-object if Gieenvillo will only give us. some of her popular girls in return. "If it was left to a vote of the people," said a prominent farmer the other day, "our County would soon have a new Court House. We ought to have a build? ing that would accommodate all of our County offices." We agree with the gen? tleman, and believe- that the day is not far distant when we will have a new and modern Court House. Our clever friend, John M. Geer, of Bel ton, who Is now representing the American Flour Mills, of Nashville, Tenn., spent Monday in the city, and on Tuesday left for Virginia, where he will spend the next few weeks in the interest of his mills. Mr. Geer is a model drum? mer, as well as a most worthy and excel? lent young man, and the American Mills are fortunate in securing his services. Gen. W. W. Humphreys and Capt. P. K. McCally hare decided to build two handsome store-rooms on the vacant lot on . the north side of the Court House Square,'and the work will bagin at an early day. A new front, to correspond to the new building, will also be placed in the building now occupied by McCully, Cathcart & Co. When completed, this block will be one of the handsomest in the city. We spent a few hours very pleasantly at Lowndesvllle last Thursday, and we could see that a number of improvements had been made in the town since our^ast visit there. The merchants have done a good business during the past season, and are having a fair Spring trade. We met a number of old friends and made several new acquaintances, and have promised to go back again at no distant day, when we hope to make a more extended visit. Pickens Sentinel: "When the Cumber? land Gap goes to Greenville, Pickens and Anderson will unite their interests and extend tho Savannah Yalley Railroad. The expense of grading from Anderson to Pickens by way of Easley or Liberty, would be comparatively small. The present mayor of Anderson has frequent? ly called our attention to the practica? bility of a railroad connection between the two places by diverting the Camber land Gap in that direction." It is a fact. The dream of Anderson for the past twenty years is to be realized, and j ere another cotton crop will have been gathered the hum of the spindle will be heard in Anderson. Messrs. Watson & Cecil, of Lexington, N. C, who have the contract for the manufacture of the brick and erecting the cotton factory buildings, have arrived in the city, and, with a force of hands, have commenced work. The contractors will push the work as rapidly as possible, and in a few weeks will begin laying the foundation of the build? ing. 'Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Keys, who live two miles we9t of the city, celebrated the fifty third anniversary of their marriage on Sunday, the 7th inst., and the aged couple have received many congratulations from a number of their wide circle of friends. This is an anniversary that not many couples live to celebrate. Mr. and Mrs. Keys, despite their age, are still hale and vigorous, and the former says he can do as much work as any ordinary young man. There is no truer picture of pure love presented to man's eye than to see an aged couple like this. For fifty-three years they have fought life's battles to? gether, sharing with each other their joys and their sorrowB, and as they grow older their attachment for each other grows stronger. The Intelligencer extends its congratulations to the happy couple, and hopes that they may be permitted to celebrate many more anniversaries of their marriage. - Dock Jones, the negro who broke into Mr. Dock Craig's house in Garvin Town? ship, several weeks ago, was arrested in Brushy Creek Township last Monday by Mr. Oliver Pick ens, and has been lodged in jail. Jones had entered several houses in the Brushy Creek section. Jone3 says he is an escaped convict from the Peni? tentiary : that he was sent from Abbe? ville for a term of eighteen months, and that he escaped "before he had served more than a week of his sentence. Sheriff Bolt has notified the Superintendent of Jones' arrest. At a meeting of Anderson Division, No. 1, Sous of Temperance, last [Friday even? ing the following officers were elected to serve the ensuing quarter: W. R. Os borne, W. P.; Dr. R. W. Brown, W. A.; C. C. Langston, R. S.; J. T. Braddy, A. R. S.; E. W. Brown, Jr., F. S.; A. B. Towers, Treas.; L. P. Smith, ".Chap.; Baylis Maxwell, Con.; Earl Dodd, A.C.; RutledgB Osborne, I. ??.; Arthur Arnold, 0. S. These officers will be installed on to-morrow (Friday) evening, and it is to be hoped that there will be a largo attend? ance of the members, both male and female. The Laurensville Herald, of last week, says; "Col. J. N. Brown, of Anderson, paid our town a brief'business visit last Monday. We were pleased to see him in the enjoyment of vigorous health. The Colonel has many warm friends here, especially among the older citizens and his comrades in the late war. It will be romombered that he resided here for some years before the war, where he read and practiced law. When the war came on he organized a Company in this County and carried it into the war, made a gallant record, and finally rose to the Colonelcy of the Regiment. Since the war, by his law practice and his abilities as a finan? cier, he has accumulated a handsome property.'' Every one of our readers shouTd read carefully the advertisement of the "Pied? mont Ten Cent Store," which appears elsewhere. Messrs. C. S. Minor <fc Co., the olever proprietors of this establish? ment, are strangers to our people, but by their courteous manners and fair-dealing they are making friends every day, and crowds are flocking to their store to get some of the bargains which they nre offer? ing to the public. Their stock embraces a variety of goods, and when you visit the city we advise you to give them a call. You will find there many articles that you are needing, and they are sold so cheap that you can't help from buying. Remember, their establ-'shment is on South Main street, in the -Sroyles block. Among the young men of Anderson there is a remarkable degree of warm? hearted, cordial friendship and unity. Bat above all is the spirit of attachment to the old town. Just now especially they are enthused over the future, and are ready to stand shoulder to shoulder and make a sacrifice, if need be, for her wel? fare. Only the other day ono was heard to remark that although he didn't feel absolutely.confident that a certain invest? ment would pay, yet it was for the good of the city, and he was willing to take the risk, and that is the spirit of them all. The older and wealthier citizens are not alone iu their enthusiasm in the good cause. The young generation, are with them, and some day it will count for good to Anderson. The Dime Reading at Judge Murray's residence last Friday evening was one of the most enjoyable occasions that has 'oc? curred in the city in some time. The recitations and readings were all very fine, though we must accord to Miss Min? nie Smith's recitation, "Over the Hills to the Poor House," the first place in point of excellence, both in the sentiment of the selection and iu the rendition. Mr. J. Thomp. Cox, of Belton, was|pre3ent, and beautifully recited "Poe's Raven." The music was of a high order, and of a char? acter not often beard at such gatherings. Such, of course, was expected to be the case, when it was known that four such sweet singers as Mrs. R. S. Ligon, Miss Maggie Cox, Mrs. Qurganus and Mrs. Strickland were to participate, not to speak of that always charming male voice, Mr. George Miller. After the regular programme was ended the audience, or the younger portion of it, enjoyed the remainder of the time in playing game3 and having a good time generally. The "Reading" was a success financially, about eleven dollars having been added to the fast swelling pile which the Baptist ladies are raising to bny their new organ. A shooting affray occurred on the plan? tation of Mr. J. S. Fowler, in Centreville Township, last Monday morning, in which a negro named Jeff. White was wounded twice with a shot-gun in the han ds of Mr. L. D. Thomas. White was employed by Mr. Thomas, and while at work in a field with Mr. G. R. Thomas, a nephew of the above named gentleman, a dispute "arose botween them in reference to some work. One word brought on another, and finally White drew a pistol and threatened to shoot the young man, who went immedi? ately to the house to get - something to de? fend himself. The negro followed him with the pistol in his hand, and when they reached the house Mr. L. D. Thomas in? terfered and made an effort to stop the difficulty. White, however, was not dis? posed to settle the difficulty peaceably, and continued to abuse young Thomas, who secured his gun and was in the act of firing it, when Mr. L. D. Thomas took it from him. The negro struck at the young man, and threatened to shoot both he and Mr. L. D. Thomas. The latter, be? lieving that he would carry out the threat) fired at him twice, the contents of both barrels of the gun lodging in the negro's body. A warrant was sworn out for the arrest of White, but he has disappeared, nnd it is supposed that his wounds are uot serious. It was reported that Mr. Thomas was wounded in the afiray, but this proves to be incorrect. Maj. John Henry Fower died very sud? denly near the residence of Dr. H. H. Scudday, in Hall Township, on Wednes? day afternoon, 3rd inst. He was out tak? ing a walk with a little child, when he was stricken down, and before assistance reached him he had passed away. Maj. Power was in the GSth year of his age. He was formerly from Abbeville County, but moved to Anderson about six years ago, where he lived up to the time of his death. He was from his early life greatly beloved by a large circle of friends and relatives for the peculiar 3uavity of his manners and the unsullied unity of his life. In his untimely death his family feel that they have been bereft of their hope and their pride, and it is not too much to say that he has left the world without a stain on his character and without leaving an enemy behind him. Maj. Power was a brave soldier, and porformod his duty well in th2 late war. He entered the Con? federate service in the 1st S. C. Cavalry, Hampton Brigade, at the first of the war, and fought bravely through to the close. So well did he do his part that he was once complimented on the field of battle for his gallantry by his commanding offi? cer. He has been in failing health since the close of the war, and for several years has been quite feeble, but the last few days of his life he seemed so much stronger and was so bright and cheerful that his family hoped for his recovery. He leaves a wife and several sons and daughters, all of whom have many sym? pathizers in their bereavement. After appropriate funeral services, conducted by Rev. C. B. Smith, of the Methodist Church, assisted by Rev. A. P. Nicholson, his remains were laid to rest in Silver Brook Cemetery last Friday morning. Next Saturday a committee of citizens from Elbert and Hart Counties, Qa., is to meet at Andersonville for the purpose of making arrangements to entertain H. W. Graay, Editor of the Atlanta Constitution, and others, who propose to make a trip down the Savannah River to Augusta on the 21st of July. A meeting was held at Elberton a few days ago, and a resolution was adopted asking Anderson County to co-operate with the above named Counties in the arrangements to entertain the Grady party, which will consist of a number of Northern capitalists and journalists. The object of this scheme, if we understand it, is to advertise the Counties tributary to the Savannah, and in the end to get a liberal appropriation from Congress for the further improvement of tho River. Anderson should take bold of this matter, and should have a committee to meet the Georgians at Andersonville next Satur? day. Mr. A. G. Meaus's popular clothing es? tablishment is a great resort with the male sex at present. His new Spring and Summer stock seems to have taken things by storm, and every person who has in? spected his goods will agree with us in saying thai it is worth the time of any one who is in need of a new suit, new hat or furnishing goods of any description to go there and see the stock. Mr. Means is a gentleman of fine taste and good judg? ment, and his thorough knowledge of the clothing business enables him to keep an establishment that is seconiUo none in the State. There you will find only the cor? rect styles and fashionable goods of the season, made in sack suits, cutaway suits, Prince Arthur suits, Prince Albert suits, in foreign and domestic goods, and he can fit any size man, youth or boy. He has a large variety of hats in every shape, and his stock of neckwear can't be excelled in the State. His stock of shoes for both ladr.es and gentlemen is very fine, and will give satisfaction to every pur? chaser. When you purchase a bill of goods from Mr. Means, he guarantees every article to be just as represented, and when he once sells a suit to a gentleman, the purchaser will come back again when he wants another suit. Mr. Means is de* termined not to be undersold, and he may make it to your interest to see his stock before purchasing elsewhere. His aim is to please his customers, and he with his courteous salesmen will take pleasure in showing his entire line, in order for you to make your selection. We would ask you to read carefully his new advertisement, and then pay him a visit as early as possible. The County Alliance. The County Farmers' Alliauce met in the city last Fridays There was a full representation from the various sub-Alli? ances, and much interest was manifested in the meeting. The session was held with closed doors, and lasted several hours. The Secretary has furnished us with a copy of the following resolutions," which were unanimously adopted by the Alliance: Whereas, we have .been informed that there has been a Trust formed on jute bag? ging, and that the Trust has bought all the jute butts on the market, and controls all the mills in the United States except four, and threatens to squeeze the cotton roducer as nover before; now, therefore, e it, Resolved, That we pledge ourselves not to use any bagging manufactured or sold by tho jute bagging Trust, provided we can get any other. Resolved, That we pledge our support to ;he manufacturers of pine straw and cotton bagging, no far as they can supply our wants. Resolved, That we call on the Alliances in South Carolina, and in all the cotton belt, to stand together as a unit, that we may withstand the oppression of monopo? lies. A Card. The family of the late Maj. J. H. Power take this means of expressing their grate? ful thanks to many friends for much kind? ness shown them on the sad occasion of his death. '?The Story of Jesus" is the latest work written on the life of Christ. It is based upon the most recent authorities in mat? ters of biblical geography, chronology, archrcology, history, etc. The author's graphic description, clearness of statement, beauty of style, painstaking scholarship and happy method of illustration will make this book a necessity to every Bible reader. You should see Mr. Allen and procure a copy while they are going. Sullivan Hardware Co. Since the last issue of the Inteligencer we have been busily engaged figuring with the manufacturers with the view of again placing on this market the popular and almost indispensable Pennington Cultiva? tor or Side Harrow, with all improvements that might have been suggested during the past six or eight years' test in the Tiands of the farmers.

We cannot provide against a rush when the season for selling is about closed. No house in AnderscTn can show up such a complete line of Heel Sweeps as we have now in stock.
