Our people could not; get along without the city dock. For several days past it has been out of fix, and as a consequence nearly everything else has been out of fix. The merchant would hardly know when to go to dinner, the clerk would not know when to open the store, and the mechanic would not know when to go to work or when to quit. The clock is a great con vanience to everybody. Rev, John S. Mattison, who has been stationed at Sumter for the past year or bo, has been spending a few days in An? derson, and left on Monday for New York, from where he will sail in a few days for Brazil, whero he will do mission? ary work. Mr. Mattison wns a resident of Anderson for a number of years, and his many friends' here wish him much success and happiness in his new home. Another party of our citizens left the city last Monday morning, via the Savan? nah Valley Railroad, to spend the week at Ogeechee, Qa. They carried with them a cook, a tent, fishing tackle, guns, etc., and were determined to have a good time catching and eating fish and game. The following gentlemen composed the party: J. M. Payne, T. S. Crayton, J. M. Cath cart, H. K. Sullivan, R. F. McKinney, N. B. Sullivan, G. M. Tolly, Louis Sharps, Dr. E. C. Frierson and W. A. Vandiver. On Wednesday, 29th ult.,* a difficulty occurred in Savannah Township between John Shaw (white) and Jim Saddler (col? ored), which resulted in the former shoot? ing the latter. They were hoeing cotton in the same field and fell, out about some trifling matter. Shaw had a pistol in his pocket, and after Borne words had passed between them, he pulled it out and shot Sadler, who then struck his antagonist with a hoe. Saddler's wounds are not considered dangerous. Shaw has not been arrested. The high character borne by our worthy friend, Mr. W. L. Bolt, Sheriff of Anderson, makes it a work of superoga tiou to offer any thing as a vindication of him against the charges made through the Greenville New of last Friday and copied by us in this issue. The commu? nications speak for themselves. We will, however, state that Mr. Vandiver now says' that a fellow-prisoner, Hays by name, wrote the article in question. We have not seen Mr. Hays, and do not know what his Bide of the story is. There Is evidently something "shady" about the transaction, and may give Vandiver some trouble. The young ladies and children of the Presbyterian Sunday School, assisted by several ladies of other Churches, are ar? ranging to have a very interesting enter? tainment in the Lecture Room of the Presbyterian Church next Thursday evening, 12th inst.

Remember the date, and be sure to go and see the entertainment. ?Mrs. Rachel Williams, wife of Mr. John G. Williams, died at her. home near Five Forks last Sunday night, after a long ill? ness of typhoid fever. She was about 29 years of age, and leaves a heart-broken husband and five small children, together with a host of relatives, to mourn'her death. Her remains were interred in the Lebanon Church-yard, Rev. A. A. Mar? shall conducting the funeral services. Mrs. Williams had never connected herself with the Church, but to the consolation of her loved ones, she expressed herself as being willing and ready for the summons of death; Mr. Williams has many sympa? thizers in his bereavement. ; Miss Maggie Froneborger died at the residence of Mr. C. Wardlaw, in this city, on last Monday at 6 o'clock, p. m. Miss Froneberger was the eldest daughter of Mr. David Froneberger, of Walhalla, and oame to Anderson recently, to spend awhile with Mr, Wardlaw's family. She was ill about two weeks, and during tbat time she received all the attention possible from kind friends. She was about 20 years of age, and was a most excellent, amiable young lady, who had made many warm ? friends in Anderson, She was a commu? nicant of the Episcopal Church, and bore her illness with Christian resignation and patience. She was conscious up to within a short time before death came, and ex? pressed herself as being ready to meet the Bummons. The funeral services were conducted in Grace (Episcopal) church on Tuesday afternoon by Rev. T, F. Gadsden,, after which the remains were carried to Walhalla for interment. We had the pleasure of visiting Mr. D. S. Maxwell's garden last Monday morn? ing. The garden contains about five acres, and it is worth any man's time to go over it. Mr. Maxwell has recently erected a wind-mill, and has pipes running from it to various points in his garden. To these pipes he can attach a hose and water every vegetable patch. By having this arrangement, the recent drouth has not damaged his vegetables to any great ex? tent, The main object of our visit, how? ever, was to Bee Mr. Maxwell's cabbage patch. A short time ago he put out 5,-300 plants, all of which are living, and numbers of them are now heading out. Up to this time he has sold about two hundred heads, for which he gets from 8} to 10 cents each. He estimates that this ciop alone will pay him ?350.00. The whole garden is in fine condition and the vegetables are growing nicely. Mr. Max welJ is, full of energy, and thoroughly understands truck farming. He is very careful in the selection of his seed, and uses plenty of fertilizers. The following jurors were drawn on Wednesday morning to serve at the ap? proaching term of Court: T. If.

It is now a settled fact that there will be a fruit oxhibitanda convention of fruit growers at Pendleton next August during the joint summer meeting of the State Grange and State Agricultural Society. The Cotton Plant is agitating the scheme, and will do everything possible to make it a success. Gen. W. W. "Humphreys, Thos. M. White. J. ?. Simpson, J. D. Maxwell, E. H. Shanklin, J. C. Stribling, Henry Trescott, 0. A. Bowen, J. J. Sitton ' and D. K. Norris have been appointed to I look after the scheme in this County, and I to ascertain and report the names of those i who will attend the meeting and make an j exhibit of fruits. This is a wise step, ' and ahould meet with the hearty co-oper j ation of every citizen who feels any inter j est in the fruit-growing business. I Mra. Emily R. Goss died at the resl ! dence of her brother-in-law, Mr. J. C. j Keys, near this city, last Monday night, at j 11 o'clock, of pneumonia, in the 82nd j year of her age. Mrs. Goss was the widow of the late Rev. Benjamin Goss, of Elbert County, Ga., and was in our midst visiting ? her sis tor, Mrs. Keys. She was a daughter of the late Major Lewis, of this County, where she was born and reared, and was highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends, She possessed many noble traits of charac? ter, and was never known to turn a deaf ear to the calls of the Buffering or dis? tressed. On Thursday afternoon her re? mains were interred in the graveyard at Cross Roads Church, the funeral servi? ces being conducted by Rev. A. A. Marshall t p.nd Rev. J. S. Murray. Messrs. F. A. Spellman and W. M. Sher a. a, two of the Pioneers who were left in 2-rewberry to care for their sick comrade, Raymond Beaty, were put off of the C. & Q. train j&t Tuesday while on their way home. The tickets to Newberry required the purchasers to return on or by the 1st inst., but on account of the illness of Mr. Beaty, the District Passenger Agent ex? tended the tickets of the above gentlemen until they were ready to come home. The Agent at Newberry was authorized to expend the tickets, and on Tuesday when they were presented to him he stamped them, as he was required to do, and changed the date of limit. The young men boarded the train, and when Conductor Motte came around he refused the tickets and demanded the fare. The yonng men refused to pay it, whereupon he put them o?*, and no doubt would have put Mr. Beaty off? too, had he not noticed his con diiion. Ab soon as the train started, the young men boarded it again, and then tendered the money to pay their fare, but tLe Conductor refused it. At Ninety Six the Conductor telegraphed to the Agent and found that the tickets were all right. Ho should have done this before putting the young men off. Their tickets were properly stamped, and he had no right to put them off of the train. This act may cause the Conductor or the railroad com? pany some trouble. i A Homicide near Pendleton. Last Sunday afternoon, about 5 o'clock, Dr. J. G. Owens was shot and killed by his stepson, Mr. Wm. F. C. Owens, a son of the late Mr. John Owens. The homicide occurred at the homo of the parties, about three miles east of Pendleton, in this Coun? ty The inquest was held on Monday morn? ing by Trial Justice J. J. Sitton, who or? ganized a jury with Hon. J. P. Glenn as foreman. We have not read the testimony taken at the inquest, but we have inter? viewed several persons who were present and heard the evidence, and the particulars of the affray are briefly as follows: For several days preceding Sunday Dr. Owens had been on a spree. He was natu? rally a very passionate man, and when un? der the influence of liquor was considered a dargerous man. Ho had on several occa? sion abused bis wife and children, and the/ dreaded to see him. intoxicated, Sun? day afternoon, about 4 o'clock, he came home from Central. Mrs. Owens, with the snwler children, was at home, and was sitling on the back piazza. The Doctor came in and took a seat on the piazza, and shortly afterwards Mrs. Owens went to her baby, who was crying on the front piazza. The Doctor followed her, and, after cursing her, struck her three severe blows with his fist, bruising her face terribly. He then pulled out his knife and threatened to cut her throat, bet accidentally dropped the knifn into a bunch of roses on tin side of the piazza. Shortly afterwards' Mr. Wm. Owens and a neighbor, Mr. Kelly, came to the house. Mrs. Owens was crying. No? ticing this and her bruised lace, William asked his mother what was the matter. She told him what bad occurred, William ex? pected there would he more trouble, and he at sb secured his pistol and put it in his pc. - , t. In a short time all of the other eta ,:en of the household had come in, and all o." the family, with Mr. Kelly, were sit? ting on the piazza. Suddenly the Doctor, who was sitting at the far end of the piazza, jumped up and, in a loud voice said: "D? n you, now that you are all here I am going to have this out!" He again cursed Mrs. Owens and started towards her. Mr, Kelly ran between them and begged Doctor Owen3%not to say another word. He cursed Mr. Kelly and ordered him out of the house, and then rushed on towards Mrs. Owens. William went-to his mother's side, and told' the Doctor that he could not strike her agair. The Doctor struck the young man on the head, and as he did so a younger brother, Lee, came to William's assistance. The Doctor then pulled out a knife and started towards Lee, who ran, the Doctor following him down to the ground. When he found that Lee was out of the way, he turned back, and swore he would kill William, who was still on the piazza. William warned him not to come to him, that he would shoot him, but the Doctor continued to advance with the knife in his hand, and, when within a few feet William pulled out his pistol and fired, killing the Doctor instantly. He fell on the piazza and hy there with the knife clasped tightly in his hand until the jury viewed his body. The verdict of the jury of inquest was to the effect that the deceased came to his death by a pistol in the hands of Wm. F. C. Ow? ens, and in their opinion the homicide was excusablo and in self-defense. Mr. Wm. F. C. Owens Is about 18 years of ago, and is a quiet, peaceable young man. He is a student of Furruan Univer? sity and is studying for the ministry. At the time of the homicide he was at home temporarily on account of sickness. Of course, the homicide is deeply regretted in the neighborhood, but the general opinion is that had It not terminated as it did, there would have been-perhaps several innocent persons killed. On Tuesday morning, in company with Sheriff Bolt, and his Counsel, Mr. Ow6ns went to Abbeville to apply for bail, which was granted under a bond of $1,000.

The train that was to bear the Piuueors to Newberry, where they were to take part in the joust of Thursday, the 30th ult., came in on time on Wednesday morning. Besides the Running Team, there was quite a> number of other mem? bers of the Company, with a small sprinkling of sightseers on board. The run to Belton was without spocial inter? est, except for the presence of the Green backer, W. W. Russell, who occupied a seat in the car in which the Pioneers were ensconced. This personage seemed to in? spire Borne of the Pioneers with the spirit of Bong, who, to the infinite amusement of the other passengers, gave out the fol? lowing couplet, which was sung by the Pioneers, with much gusto, to the tune of "John Brown's Body:" "Old Ben. Harrison he's a mighty hacker, But I'd rather be him than an old green backer." Arriving at Belton, the Anderson party took the special car which was awaiting them at that point. They soon adorned it on one side with a picture of the Reel and the name of the Company, and on the other side with a picture of a "cotton tail" making tracks for Newberry, the Compa? ny's name also being on this side. This was all very nice, but as subsequent events Rhowed, that same rabbit felt like "mak? ing tracks" away from Newberry before the fun was entirely over. The time from Belton to Newberry was spent in jests and song, and pasaed off very pleasantly. Newberry was reached about 3 o'clock, when the Pioneers were met by the Ex? celsiors, of Newberry, and escorted to the Fireman's Hall, where they were wel? comed in a neat speech by Mr. Kinard, of the local Team, which was responded to by C. S. Sullivan of the Pioneers. The Pioneers then took up their quarters at the Newberry Hotel, where they were most hospitably entertained by the genial host, Mr. Crouch, whose efforts' were ably seconded by his charming wife, who la indeed a model hostess. Thursday morning bright and early the Running Team of the Pioneers were out for a practice, when they made a beau? tiful run and got water in 221 seconds. Eight o'clock brought tbe Laurens "Lad? dies," and at half-past nine tbe track was cleared for the first run. This was made by the Laurens Team, whioh made a very pretty run, and got water in 23} seconds. The Pioneers, who ran second, were very much elated when they took the track, as they felt sure they could do up Laurens by at least two seconds. This it seemB they would certainly have done, but for some difficulty they had in man? aging the plug used by our Newberry I friends. Bets were strongly in favor of j the Pioneera, and, as they came down the track, at a break neck s-ieed, it seemed that they would be easy* winners. But alas! for human expectations! Tbe run to the plug was made in tbe remarkable time of twelve second, but it took them more than seventeen seconds to show, water through the nozzle, which, under ordinary circumstances, they could have done in eight or nine seconds. And thus our boys were out for the first prize. The Newberry boys made the next run, j but failed to surpass the Laurens run, j their time being a little over 24 seconds, I and so the Laurens Team won tbe first prize. Then came the "grab race." In this race the Anderson and Newberry teams were so unfortunate as to "blow off." A second run was allowed them, but Ander? son "blew off" again, while Newberry succeeded in showiDg water at the nozzle before she "blew off" at the butt, and the prize was awarded to her. Thus far An? derson had failed to secure a single prize. The next thing in order was the foot race. By agreement, only three men were entered, one from each Company, W. D. Milford representing the Pioneers. This was a beautiful race, and resulted in an? other defeat to Anderson, as Mr, White, of Newberry, was declared the victor, though the race was bo close it required a voteoftbo judges to decide it. Mr. Mil ford, being second, received aecond prize. Thus far all had passed off as nicely as could be, and everybody went to the Op? era House to hear Ex-Gov. Sheppard, the orator of the day. It will'be impossible to do more than mention tbe speech, for just as the speaker finished thanking the citizens for inviting him over, and while he was Btill telling them how glad ho was that he was there, &c., the Pioneers had to leave, being called away to wait on their comrade, Raymond Beaty, who was taken very suddenly ill at the Newberry Hotel, where ho had gone just after the "grab race." About 1 o'clock p. m. he was taken with a pain in the head and side, and rapidly grew worse, notwithstanding the very best medical men to be had were with him a short time after he was taken sick. About three o'clock every one, even the Doctors gave him up, and a lit? tle later he was pronounced "dead" by the physicians who, however, continued to work with him, and in about four hours, to the astonishment of every one, he opened his eyes. Then indeed every one wore a smile, for it seemed that tbe day of miracles had returned. The physi? cians, Dr. Gilder and Dr. 0. B. Mayer, Jr., who had been called to attend him, pro? nounced his trouble congestion of the lungs aud brain, and they worked most faithfully to relieve the sufferings and save the lifo of our young friend. The news of his illness spread rapidly, and Newberry's brave firemen, as well as her citizens generally, left nothing undone that would tend to the comfort of our comrade. There was a general expression of sympathy and sorrow on every hflnd, and we doubt if more interest could have been manifested in his illness hero at home. Several beautiful bouquets, as tributes of sympathy, were sent to Mr. Beaty's room by some of the fair women of the city. Of course, this sudden illness of our comrade threw a gloom over tho whole place, and it was at once decided to post? pone the Banquet, which had been ar? ranged to take place during the evening, at 4ho Newberry Hotel. It was agreed to have a qul9t supper instead, and at 0 o'clock tbe local and visiting firemen, whh their guests and a number of the cit zenB of Newberry, assembled in the spa? cious dining-room of the Hotel, where a moBt bountiful repast was served. The genial landlord, Mr. Crouch, superintend? ed the occasion in person, and many com? pliments were paid him for' his excellent bill of fare and the manner in which it was propared and served. Friday morning dawned bright and clear, and as Mr. Beaty was still improv? ing, our boys were in fine spirits. The rains of the preceding day had prevented the intended pic nie taking place, and our boys had not had the pleasure of meeting many of Newberry's fair daughters. This was a great disappointment to the boys, and as they had several hours to spare before leaving for home, the morning was spent in making calls and seeing the sighis of tho city. Every member of our parly regretted when 12 o'clock rolled around. At that hour the Pioneors fell into ranks, and, escorted by a number of the Newberry Firemen, marched to the depot, where a number of the citizens bad already assembled to bid our boys farewell. At the depot Mr. C. S. Sullivan, in behalf of the Pioneers, in a short speech, thanked tho Newberry Firemen for their kindness and hospitality, and closed by proposing three cheers for New? berry's bravo firemen, hor hospitable citi? zens and her fair women. Ouo of the Newberry firemen responded to this speech, and assured our boys that they would ever be welcome again to New? berry. The train came in on time, and after a rifle of four hours our boys arrived honae safe, and were met at the depot by the Young America Cornet Band, which escorted them to their Hall. With the exception of the illness of Mr. Beaty, nothing happened to mar the pleasures of tho trip, and our boys will never forget the noble firemen and hos? pitable citizens of Newberry. If the Pio? neers live to be an hundred years old and attend a Tournament at some place every year, they will nevor be entertained in a more hospitable manner or come in con? tact witk a more sociable, courteous or clever people than they met at Newberry. N0TE3. Newberry is, and should be, proud of her Firemen. We have never met a more clever, courteous, high-toned set of gentle? men, and should they ever yislt Anderson our boj's will simply turn tho town over to them. Several of our boys full in love with soruo of Newborry's lovely daughters, and ero many weeks they will go back there on a visit. During our stay we had the pleasure of j meeting Rev. W. S. Wightman, formerly of this city. He is enjoying fine health, aud was very attentive to our boys. Our entire party had the pleasure of meeting Ex-Qov. Sheppard, and every one was favorably impressed with his pleasant, courteous mauners and agreea? ble disposition. We made a short call at the home of Mr. John 0. Peoples, who is President of j Newberry's Boaid uf Trade and one of her moat progressive and popular citizens. He securod his good wife from Anderson County, and naturally has a tender place in his heart for our people. We visited the rooms of the Y. M. C. A., and had a pleasant talk with the Secre? tary, Mr. Nichols. The rooms are a pleas? ant resort for the young men, and the Association is doing a good work there. The business men and the citizens gen? erally contribute liberally to the support of the Association. Newberry's cotton factory is a big en? terprise, and is doing a fine business. A number of our party visited the factory and were shown through it. In company with several companions, we visited Capt. J. W. White's home. He bIbo married one of Anderson County's fair daughters. He is a most clever gen? tleman, and was very kind to our party. Laurens has a fine set of firemen, and our boys hope to have the pleasure of j meeting them again. Miss Irene Osborne and Misses Kitty and Leila White went down to Newberry with our party, and their visit was a most pleasant one, The two latter prolonged their visit for a week or more. Messrs. F. A. Spellman and W. M. Sherard were left to nurse and look after Mr. Beaty, who was not able to return home with the party. They re? mained until Tuesday, at which time Mr. Beaty came home. He is still weak, but in a few days he will be in his usual health again. Card of Xhaialcs. Mb. Editor . Please allow us space in your valuable columns to convey to Capt. Gus.

Editors Intelligencer : With thanks for your usual correctness in deciphering my manuscript, I seldom deem any cor 1 reactions necessary, but in the account of | the pic nie at Fort Hill, there is a mistake so glaring that I must ask a correction.

A Scrap of Paper Saves Her Life It was just an ordinary scrap of wrap? ping paper, but it saved her life. She was in the last stages of consumption, told by physicians that she was incurable and could live only a short time; she weighed less than seventy pounds. On a piece of wrapping paper she read of Dr. King's New Discovery, and got a sample bottle; it helped her, she bought a large bottle, it helped her more, bought another and grew better fast, continued its use and is now strong, healthy, rosy planip, weigh? ing 140 pounds.

Nothing but praise for the "Peiinington" from every source, and the sales of these implements are swelling with every gale. A leading planter of Anderson County volunteers the following information in re? gard to the Victor Heel Sweep, for which Sullivan Hardware Co. are sole agents: "The Victor Heel Sweep is far ahead of any other. I tried other Patent Sweeps last year, and after a thorough test with the Victor lam prepared to say that it far ex? cels them all, being much easier adjusted, and filling the bill in every respect," It is wonderful how quick the celebrated "14 finger Josh Berry Grain Cradle" has driven all competitors out of the field.
