Theire is no surer ana quicker method of en? riching land or maintaining its present fertility than by planting it in this orop. The vines and peas both are among the best fertilizers known.

Pickens Sentinel: "Mr. Willie Jamison, one of Pickens County's enterprising Joung farmers, purchased tbe Harrison ones place in Anderson County last I winter, and he now has' one of the best I farms in that section and a fine prospect 1 for a good crop. He will, no doubt, in a few years come to the front as one of the most progressive farmers of his adopted County. Y Our press broke down last week while printing .our papers, consequently we were a day later than usual in delivering Borne of our papers. For awhile we thonght we would have to send to New York to get the press repaired, but Dr. Divver, of the Anderson Machine Shops, saved us that trouble and delay, and in a day's time he had our press in rnnning order again. .

Time and again we have urged the or? ganization of a Society in this city for the prevention of cruelty to animals A per bos' can go on our streets almost any day and see dumb brutes cruelly treated. There is a law to prevent such treatment,' and if we had an organized society the law could be enforced and the inhuman person prosecuted. Let an effort be made at once to organize the Society. . . The first cotton bloom for this season was sent to the Iktelugenceb last Fri? day by Mr; It. E. Hall,- who lives near Cook's, and who is known in that section as "Primus Jones." The bloom was taken from a. six-acre lot that will average tho best in that section. Mr. Hall is a live farmer, raises his corn at home, has j us1; harvested a good crop of small grain, and has near one hundred acres of cotton; which he keeps " well worked and which .isgrowing rapidly. Dr. A. F. Johnstone has purchased the vacant lot next to the Farmers' and Mer? chants'Bank bnilding, and will atonce erect a handsome two-story building thereon. ? Messrs. John M. Hub bard & Bro. have leased the first story, and abont the middle-of September will move into it. These gentlemen propose, to fit it up in elegant style, and will have a jewelry store that can't be. excelled in tbe State. The erection of this bnilding will close up the last vacant ground on tbe Square. The Elberton <Ga.) Star, in closing its account of the. Commencement exercises of the Bowman High School, says: "The Bowman High School has taken its rank at the head of preparatory' schools in Georgia, and all say the praise is due Miss Mamie Wickliffe, who has pleased and delighted onr people with her man? agement of tbe school. She ranks among the foremost educators of Georgia, and is a lady who possesses a very marked abUJty." Miss Wickliffe has manyfriendB in Anderson County who will he delighted to hear of her success in her new home. Onr good old friend, Mi. Johnson Hall, of Corner Township, gave us a pleasant call on Monday morning. - Mr. Hall is in the 79th year of his age, and, with tbe ex? ception of an occasional attack of rheuma? tism, is in fine health. He has not taken a dose of medicine in: 32. years, and has* never been sick enough to need the servi? ces of a physician. He was born and reared in Anderson County, and; with tbe exception of ia few years, has always re-' aided here. He has been married twice, and is the father of twelve children. He is one of onr best citizens; and we wish him many more , years of happiness and prosperity. . 7 Augusta is making extensive prepara? tions to have a big time bn the 4th of July. There will be a grand military parade and gun club tournament and a colored firemen's tournament there on that day. The P. -R. & W. C R. R. will sell round trip tickets from the following points to Augusta at the prices named: Anderson, Bleckley, Deans, Starr 'and Cooks, $2.25; Moseley, $2.20; Lowndes ville, $2.15. Tickets will be on. sale on the 3rd and 4th July, and will be good to re tu rn on the 5th. This is is a cheap rate, and". will afford any of onr readers who may desire to go a fine opportunity to visit Augusta. . The R. ;<fc D. R. R. Co. and the P. R. & W..C, R. R. Co., have issued a joint cir? cular to their agents, giving notice that oh and after June 20,1889, no shipments of any character, either cotton or mer? chandise, will be allowed upon their premises unless accompanied by complete shipping directions.. Bills of lading will -then be immediately issued for the ship? ment. This order will necessitate the establishing cf a cotton yard in Anderson, where all of the cotton can be weighed and then stored until it is ready to be shipped. The Board of Trade or cotton buyers of Anderson should consider this matter at once, and locate the yard at some convenient place, There came near being a Jail delivery on Monday night, but the watchfuLfye of Deputy Sheriff Green discovered it in time to prevent the escape. Monday afternoon Doc. Jones, colored, was sen? tenced to eighteen months imprisonment in th? Penitentiary, and when he was car? ried Dack to the Jail from the Court House, Mr. Green noticed that there was something wrong in Jones' cell. He at once made an investigation, and discov? ered that Jones had .removed a large number of brick from the wall, and in a abort Urne would have liberated himself from the prison. Jones, by some means, had secured an old pocket knife, with which he had prized the brick from the wall, and during the day he would hide the brick under his blanket. Jones is an escaped convict from the Penitentiary, haviing been sent from Abbeville County last Summer. He says he will neverserva his term ont. Sheriff Bolt has chained him down, and will keep him so until he is delivered to the Penitentiary officials. Last Saturday, in company with Mr. Thos. M. White, we spent a portion of the. afternoon very pleasantly looking over his vineyard, which is situated near the northwestern limits of the city. Mr, White has about 3,000 vines growing now, about 1800 of which will bear fruit this year. It is certainly a treat to go out and view this vineyard. The vines are heavily loaded, and the yield promises to be very large this year. The crop is not yet affeoted by the rot. We saw only a few rotten grapes, and Mr. White thinks the orop is safe. He says if a vineyard is kept well drained, and the water not allowed to stand near the vines, there is not much danger of the grapes, rottening. He says, also, that the ground should not be too rich. As a fertilizer he uses a little lime or ashes, and uses that only around a vine that he sees is not growing as rapidly as the others around it. Mr. White is well posted in grape culture, and says he learns something new by experimenting every year. His vines are of the Concord variety, which, he Bays, is the best grape for this section. The Stock Show at Pendleton. In order to give all owners of fine stock and others interested an opportunity of participating in the arrangements for tho Stock Show, to be held at Pendleton on the 8th of August next, in connection with the other joint meetings of the farmers and fruitgrowers during the same week, the Committee in charge do hereby extend a feneral invitation to all interested in either the Stock or Fruit Show to meet with the Pendleton Farmers' Society, in the Far? mers' Hall at Pendleton, on the 11th of July next, at 10 o'clock m., at which time final discussions and arrangements for the exhibitions will take place. In consideration of the fact that this So? ciety has .contributed the necessary funds to pay a large numhar of premiums in cash for Horses and Cattle at this Show without any charge to either exhibitors or specta? tors, we trust that all parties from all sides will turn out and take part in making this Stock Show and Fruit Exhibition the finest yet ssen in this section. Respectfully, J. C. Steiblino, J. E. Lewis. B. Harris, Committoe in charge of Stock Show. Large lot of sample Whips for sale at wholesale cost by C. A. Reed, Anderson, 8, 0, ' f THE NEW MAS< The above picture presents a front view of the new Masonic Temple which is now being erected in this city by Hiram Lodge, i No. 68, A. F. M., on tbe aite of the old . Masonio building. It fronts 65 feet on the Court House Square, and is 90 feet ! deep. As the cut shows, it will be three and ono-ha" f stories high, with a mansard ' roof. Tbe first floor contains the entrance to the floors above and two commodious store rooms with large cellars underneath. The front of tbe second story is divided into four small rooms, with a ticket office and a; lobby, from which yon enter the Opera House, which has a ceiling 26 feet high, and which is 45 feet wide by 65 feet deep. i. gallery extends around the walls. On the third floor is the Lodge Room, which is 33 feet wide by 50 feet deep, and which is surrounded by six small ante-rooms. The building, com-' pleted, will cost about $12,000, and will be one of the handsomest and most substan? tial buildings in this section of the State. Mr. A. W. Todd, of Augusta, is the Arch j itectofthe building, and Messrs. Moss & ' Jackson have the contract for its erection. The work ia being pushed rapidly, and in a few week,-; the building will be ready to be occupied. .. Last Tneaday was set apart for laying the corner-stone of the new building, and the occasion attracted a large crowd of visitors to the city. About I ?'/clook p. ra. a special commu? nication ,of the Grand Lodge of A. F. M. of Sonth Carolina was opened in the Knights of Honor Hall, with Grand Mas? ter It.F. Dl wer,.presiding. There were present ab<jut one hundred members of tbe fraternity from the several Lodges in the County! A procession was formed with J. B. Lewis as Grand Marshal, and T.; F. Hill as Assistant, and the body marched to the site of the building. When tho column halted, the command to open ranks was given, and the Grand Marshal escorted ti e Grand Master and other grand officers to the stand near the cor? ner-stone. Near the stand was stationed an organ and a choir ? of good voices. With Mrs. McSmith at the organ, tbe choir sang an ode, after which the Grand Master read the opening prayer. The Grand Secretary, J. E. Breazeale, Esq., then read the following list of articles to be deposited in the stone: . . 11ST OF THE DEPOSITS. Holy Bible, "the Boole of tho Law."

The June Term of thevCourt of General Sessions opened last Monday, with his Honor Judge J. H. Hudson presiding. Solicitor Ans-!, Stenographer Aiken and the other ofilcers of the Court were in ? their places. The Solicitor handed out a number of indictments . against various persons charged with committing crimes, after which his Honor made a lengthy charge to the Grand Jury, in which he explained to them fully their duties. He told them that Choy constituted the grand inquest of the County. His duty was to charge them as to iheix duty, and in so doing would'read over and call to their special attention- the oath by which they are bound. His Honor then read over the oath and carefully explained all its pro? visions to the Jury, and urged upon them the importance of the strict observance of the obligation;, of the oath. If any of the jurors had tho idea that all they had to do was to come here and pass upon the bills of indictment as handed them by the So? licitor, draw their pay and go home, they were far from realizing the importance and dignity of the position they occupied. They had not only to pass upon the bills of indictment, but to look uf*er the inter? ests of the County in whatever direction . they might be. His Honor then dwelt at some length on the desirability of a change in our jury law, so as to make the verdict not depend on the unanimous vote of the entire panel, but let the ma? jority, or at least a two-thirds or three lourths vote, only be required. He said majorities ruled in our elections, law making bodies, in tbe State and United States Supreme Courts, and it should be so in our petit juries. He adduced many arguments ancl reasons in support of his views. The charge was a very able one, and evinced the interest which Judge Hudson takes in tbe advancement of the public interests. Before concluding the charge, his Honor spoke of the great need of anew Court House, saying that other Counties not near so wealthy as Anderson had erected splendid buildings for the ac? commodation of its officers and for the transaction of its public business, and wo should also have one; that with the band Borne structures going up around our Square, the Court House, standing in the centre, was a blot oh this beautiful Square. The following cases have been disposed Of: State vs. John T. Roberson and Clum Richardson. House breaking and Larceny. Not guilty. State vs. Win. F. C. Owens. Murder. After three witnesses had been examined, the Judge instructed tbo Jury to find a verdict of not guilty, which was done at! once. State vs. Dock Jones. House breaking and Larceny. Plead guilty. Sentenced to 18 months imprisonment in the Peni? tentiary. State vs. Andrew Parks. .Carrying con? cealed weapons. Plead guilty. Sentenced to pay a fine of $30.00 and costs, or be im? prisoned three months in the County Jail. State vs, James L. Mahaffey, and Nancy O. Mabatfey. Obtaining an abortion. Not guilty. As we go to press the Court is engaged in trying the e-tse against Mrs, Mary E. Jvease, charged with forgery. The criminal business is much heavier this term than usual. The Grand Jury have had about twenty-five bills of en dictnient before them. They will get through their business and make their presentment to-day.

Record of the oldest man, oldest resident, oldest Mason, youngest Mason, youngest boy and last marriage, as follows: The oldest man in Anderson is John Wilson Bell Skelton, born November 8,1811. The oldest resident of Anderson is Jeptha Forbes Wilson, he having lived in the town since it was located. The oldest Mason is J. F. Wilson, raised Jan. 7, 1848, and was tho first Mason mado In Hiram Lodge. The youngest Mason is S. T. Blackman, raised June 7,1889. Tho youngest boy In Anderson is William Mar-, shall Cralg, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Craig, born May 28,1889! The last marriage In Anderson was Lieut. J. M. Patrick and Miss Carrie McCully, by Rev. A. A. Marshall, in Baptist Church, February 23, 1889. Col. J. Jameson, the Grand Treasurer, deposited the box containing the above named articles in the stone and the cap was lowered, during which the choir sang another ode. The Grand Master tested the stone and pronounced it true and well formed. The Grand Master, assisted by Past Grand Master, W. W. Humphreys, and four little girls, Misses Emily Divver, Anna Humphreys, Eunice Hill and Mamie Andrew, with a beautiful silver trowel, cemented the stone all the way round. This trowel was the same one that was used by the Grand Lodge in lay? ing the corner-stone of the DeKalk Mon? ument at Camden, S. C, in 1825. The "Corn of Nourishment," the "Wine of Refreshment" and the "Oil of Joy" were then presented, and poured on the stone. The brethren gave the public grand honors by three times three, after which the Grand Master made a few re? marks and announced that, as w.as their custom, a collection would be taken and the money contributed to the workmen who were injured while engaged in tear? ing down tho old building. When the Grand Stewaids had finished collecting the contributions, Mr. R. 8. Hill, Worshipful Master of Hiram Lodge, introduced Col. E. B. Gary, of Abbeville, as tho first orator of tho day. Col. Gary read a very interesting sketch of Hiram Lodge and a brief history of Free Ma? sonry, which wsb listened to with pro? found interest by the large crowd present. He was followed by Hon. M. F. Ansel, of Greenville, who delivered a short but appropriate speech, giving the objects, aims and designs of* Masonry. Both speeches were very interesting, and we will not attempt to give a synopsis of either, for we could not do them justice. The Grand Master then offered up an invocation and the Grand Lodge returned, to the Hall. Oar Fire Department. Tho Annual Inspection and Parade of the Anderson FireHepartment took place last Tuesday afternoon. The Companies assembled at the corner of Greenville street, and, preceded by the city police, who were mounted on fine horses, marched down Main street to Belton street, thence to.McDnffle street and back to the Square; Tho Y. A. Cornet Band was in the line and discoursed sweet music along the route. When the Com-, panies reached the Square, they halted in front of Brick Rang*, where they were inspected by the Mayor and City Council. At the conclusion of the inspection, Mayor Tribble made a short address to the Firemen, in .which he complimented them upon their fine appearance, and said he, as well as every other citizen of Anderson, felt proud of the Department. There were a large orowd of visitors in the city, and the streets as well as tLe windows and doors and roofs of the sur? rounding buildings were crowded with the old and young of both sexes, all of whom seemed anxious to see the noble firemen. Many exclamations of praise could be heard on all Bides, and the strangers who were in our midst were agreeably surpised to know that Anderson had such a fine Department. Immediately after the inspection, select teams from the Pioneers and Indepen? dents, under the command of-Capt. R. M; Baker and Capt. F. A. Spellman, engaged in a few races. The distance run was 100 yards. In the first race, there was no time given. In the second race Capt. Ba? ker's team made the run and threw water in 223 seconds, and Capt. Spellman's team in 23 seconds, In the Grab race Capt. Baker's team made it in 10! seconds, and Capt. Spellman's team failed to make connection. The Shoo Fly Race was ! made in 20J- seconds by Capt.

Twlggs Items, After a hard week's work we send you a few items from this neighborhood. gfThe farmers have been closely confined to their farms for the past .month,, and items of news are scarce. Crops of all kinds are generally in good condition and growing finely, though small and somewhat backward. Where early stands of corn a id cotton were se? cured the crops are well advanced in growth and promiee a fine yield. The wheat crop has all been harvested, and tbe threshers are on their rounds preparing the crop for the mills. It is of fine qual? ity and turning out well. The oat crop is being harvested and will be a light one. Fruits of all kinds are abundant, and are ripening fast. It should all be saved by canning, drying and preserving, and none allowed to go to waste. The agents of several nurseries have been travelling through our section and doing a good business supplying our peo? ple with improved fruit tress, vinea, dec. Mr. A. J. Hall, Sr., has been in feeble health for sometime, but we arc happy to state that he Is regaining his health. The health of our community is not good at present. Several cases of ty? phoid fever of a malignant type have developed in our town. Mr. J. H. Pruitt was the first person attacked, and after confinement to his bed for several weeks, has recovered suffi? ciently to be up and about again. The next person attacked with the disease was his wife, Mrs. Lnla Pruitt, nee Miss Lula Long, who was illy prepared to bat? tle with the terrible disease, on account of the prostration and feebleness brought on by her untiring efforts in watching by the bedside and ministering to the wants of her husband during his sickness. The disease speedily ran its course, despite the efforts of the best medical skill and ten? der nursing by loving hands, who did all in their power to arrest the disease. After an illness of only thirteen days she quietly and peacefully passed away on Friday evening, 27th inst., surrounded by many relatives and loving friends. Only a few hours before she died she called a dear friend to her bedside and told her that she felt happy and was willing to die. Mrs. Pruitt was 21 years old at the time of her death, and leaves a devoted husband, a sweet infant only four months old and many relatives and loving friends to mourn her untimely death. Her remains were laid to rest in the graveyard at this place on tho evening after her death, after solemn and impressive funeral services by Rev. Baxter .Hays. The large concourse of relatives and friends attending her funeral attested how highly _ she was esteemed and beloved by the entire com? munity. The grief-stricken husband, the motherless babe and other relatives have the sincere condolence and sympa? thy of our whole community. A colored woman living on the farm of Mr. J. T. Stuckey died of typhoid fever on the night of the 22nd inst. I Mrs. A. J. Poore, of Latimer, is visiting j friends and relatives in this section in quest of health. I Miss Ellie King, of Seneca, is visiting her friend, Mi is Maggie McGee. ; Col. Frank Browne, of the Storeville neighborhood, Capt. J, T. Hanna, of the Smith's Chapel section, and Mr. A. 0. Latimer, of Belton, were in attendance upon the Alliance meeting at this place last Saturday. An important meeting of Starr Alliance will be held next Saturday evening at S o'clock.
