has been out of fix, and as a consequence
nearly everything else has been out of fix.

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:

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.

; Miss Maggie Froneborger died at the
residence of Mr. C. Wardlaw, in this city,

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.

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 Pioneers' Visit to Newberry.
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.

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.
In our exordium it should read, "Mr,
Calhonn, too, if he could speak from his
grave, would endorse the noble bequest
of his son-in-law," &c.
Yours, as ever,

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. For fuller particulars
send stamp to W. H. Cole, Druggist, Port
Smirh. Trial Bottles of this wonderful
discovery free at Hill Bros.' Drug Store.

A prominent farmer of Orangeburg
County briefly, yet expressivelv, writes the
Sullivan Hardware Co. that "thePenning
nington Side Harrow is received, and is
the best thing of the kind I ever saw."
Nothing but praise for the "Peiinington"

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.
