soon be attacked by the spirit of enterprise
which is so greatly improving two sides of
the Square. This will, indeed, be a step
in the right direction, as Granite Row and
Brick Range are hardly decent when
brought in juxtaposition with the other
two more enterprising sides of the Square.

ment of the Oakland Female Institute, of

"Yesterday morning while the Columbia
& Greenville freight train was backing in?
to the mill yard at Piedmont, Andrew
Shirley, a boy of nine years, attempted to
board it and ride up the road. He was
standing on a platform and in attempting
to step on the car he slipped and fell be?
tween the car and the platform. One of
his legs fell on the track and the car
wheels ran over and crushed it badly. The
boy was removed to his home and the limb
was amputated by Doctors Dounald and
Richardson. Young Shirley is expected
to recover though his injuries are very se?
rious, The boy is a son of J. F. Shirleyi
who has charge of the waste house of the
Piedmont Mills," J
There ig a little story for which we
cannot vouch, says an exchange, that an
editor once applied at the door of hades
for admission. "Well," replied his sable
majesty, "we let one of your profession in
here many years ago, and he kept up a
continual row with his former delinquent
I subscribers, and as we have more of that
class of persons here than any other, we
have passed a law prohibiting tho admis?
sion of editors."
Last Sunday afternoon, about 4 o'clock,
lightning struck Mr. Reuben Clinkscales'
stables, in Martin Township, and killed a
valuable young horse of Mr. L. N. Martin.
There were several mules and horses in
the stable, one of which was slightly
stunned by the lightning. The stables
caught lire, but were extinguished bofore
much damage was done. Mr. Martin's
horse was struck on the head, which .was
almost shattered, the eyeballs being torn
from their socket.
We would direct especial attention to
Messrs. McGee & Ligon's new advertise?
ment. These gentlemen are now occupy?
ing their new store room, which they are
rapidly filling up with a very large and
select stock of groceries, and every person
who desires to buy the best goods at the
lowest prices, should go and inspect their
stock and get their prices. They also
carry a big stock of fancy groceries, canned
goods, etc. Give them one call, and you
will be sure to go back again.
Maggie, a little daughter of Capt. Wilton
Ponlnot, of Charleston, died at the resi?
dence of Mr. J. J. Gilmer, in this city, last
Monday morning, at 1 o'clock, after an
illness of about two weeks with bronchial
pneumonia. In company with her mother,
she came to Anderson about a month ago
to visit Mr. Gilmer's family, and when
she was stricken down she received every
attention possible. Capt. Poulnct reached
the city Friday, and when the little girl
passed away, she was surrounded by her
i parents and two sisters. She wa312 years
j of age, and a bright, amiable girl. Her re?
mains were carried to Charleston last
Monday for interment.
j We took a little jaunt to Hartwell, Ga.,
I last Saturday, and on Sunday attended the
annual Camp Meeting that is held noar
that town. The trip was a most enjoyable
one, indeed, for we met many new friends
and renewed the acquaintance of many old
ones. The attendance at the meeting was
as large as usual, and much interest was
manifested in the services. A most excel?
lent sermon was preached at 11 o'clock, a.
m. on Sunday by Rev. Mr. Jamison, of
Toocoa. We spent Saturday night with
Mr. J. R. Meredith, formerly of this Coun?
ty, who is now in charge of the Hartwell
Hotel. He conducts his house liko a vete?
ran landlord. That section can't be ex?
celled for its clever people and pretty girls,
and it is always a pleasure for us to visit
there. The crops all along the road, on
both sides of the river are fine, and the
farmers are expecting an abundant yield.
We are glad to be able to announce the
complete organization of "The Anderson
Female College, the first session of which
will open on the 23rd of September next.
The following is the Faculty: Rev. A. A.
Marshall, President; Misses Varina D.
Brown, J. Lois Watson, Maggie M. Evansi
Olive M. Brown, M. Lucile Nardin, teach?
ers in the Literary Department; Miss Vir?
ginia Evans will teach instrumental] mu?
sic, and Mrs. Pauline Gurganus vocal, and
Miss Lizzie A. Mathews will have charge
of tho art department. All the pupils
from the County will get the benefit of
the public school fund. This is one thing
that our people should take special inter?
est in and try to encourage and build up.
We can see no reason why this College
should not be one of the best institutions
of the country for the education of our
young ladies. The people of Anderson
can make it such if they only will, and we
hope they will. Look out for the advertise?
ment next week.

fications of the S. S. teacher" was taken up
and discussed by Bros. D. H, Russell, L. E.

On motion of C. Wardlaw, the Associa?

Pic NIc at Dean.
Mb. Eowoa : The annual pic nie at Dean
was given Saturday, August 3d. The morn?
ing was dark and cloudy, and gave every
evidence of being followed by a disagreea?
ble day for a pic nie, and all interested wore
long faces, as the weather was indicative of
a failure ; but about 9 o'clock the sup shone
forth with all its glory, the dark clouds
were soon dispelled, and with them wcut
the long faces. Soon aftor the young peo?
ple were seen driving in from every direc?
tion, and in a short time the beautiful
grove of oaks surrounding the Academy
was literally alive with happy couples that
roamed at will through tfie woods until
that always welcoru?u sound?the dinner
bell?called them together around a large
table that fairly groaned under the load of
well prepared and nicely arranged dinner.
There was enough for all, and plenty left
for supper. After every one hud appeased
his hunger and quenched his thirst, the
crowd dispersed?some to shady nooks ut
the root of trees, some to carriage and
phaetons, and others to the Academy,
where they had music and daubing. There
wero noar 100 present, and all seemed hap?
py and gay. At tf o'clock thoy reluctantly
began to say good-bye, all hoping to meet
again in 1800. j. A. M. I
Alliance Meeting,
i Mit. EoiToit: According to announce?
ment made in your columns, Hopewell
A.lliance met a number of members from
Town Greek, Piercetown, and Whitefield
Alliances at Hopewoll school-house on
Friday, the 2d inst. When men of a craft
are thrown together many things pertain?
ing to their peculiar calling are noticed and
mentioned. So, after the usual salutations,
we often heard: "How is your crop?"
The answers were generally "Fine?fine?"
"Better than the prospect at this time of
'82." It was generally conceded that a
throwing off process must be brought,
about, as the stalks cannot sustain the
fruit now taken on. Then references were
made to the recent rainfall. Some ventur?
ed a guess at the future weather, which
was predicated on the phases of the moon.
Some could mention various localities
where the rainfall had been excessive or
meagre, which fact would, impress one
that farmers interest themselves in enquir?
ing after the welfare of thoir fellows. But
this easy way of moving was disturbed at
eleven o'clock by a summons to repair to
the hall of the Alliance. Things became
more formal. Some routine business was
transacted. Officers for the next year were
elected as follows:
J. A. Welborne, President; C. C. King,
Vice-President; S. S. Newell, Secretary;
W. A. Neal, Treasurer; J. K. Duckworth,
Chaplain; M. E. Deal, Lecturer; W. J.
Vandiver, Asst. Lecturer; T. M. King,
Door-keeper; J. H. Leach, Asst. Door?
keeper; J. S. Lawless, Sergant at-Arms.
Such interest characterized the proceed?
ings of this meeting that the eloquence of
a lank brother well nigh failed to in?
duce these earnest Lords of the manor
born to see the utility of adjourning to
dinner.
Finally, however, they sallied forth and
found, amidst the broad branches of the
neighboring oaks, a bountiful table of
fruits and viands which had been taste?
fully arranged by nine of their own wives
and daughters. These few had deigned to
grace this occasion by their presence. Other
ladies were prevented from attending,
because they were not specially mentioned
in the call of this meeting, which overlook
we much regret. But there was a feast of
good things, and while these sturdy farmers
would have been happior had the ladies
generally been present, yet the sunshine of
the few was so intensified as to make the
occasion one of solid pleasantness.
At two o'clock p. m. President P. H,
Brown, of Town Creek, assisted by R.
Williams, of Piercetown, publicly install?
ed the officers elect.
Business was again resumed when the
Allliance Mercantile Association was
discussed. Messrs. W. A. Neal, E. M.
Deal, James Harris and J. M. Hara
lin favored the enterprise. These speakers
urged that this organization of the farmers
was not an aggressive warfare upon any
legitimate pursuit; that other callings and
avocations of men thought it wise to form
associations for mutual benefit; that Boards
of Trade, Legal, Medical, and Press Asso?
ciations, Trade Unions, tfcc, are living wit?
nesses of the wisdom of their projectors ;
that farmers should hasten to imitate and
practice methods which had proved to be
good for other callings; that capitalists,
prompted by motives of great pecuniary
gain for themselves at the increased ex?
pense of all men and industries, had com?
bined their capital and brains to monopo?
lize the sale of stern necessaries of life.
Farmers have the same right to combine,
not to demand higher prices and oppress
the people with monopolized markets, hut
to demand lower rates in open markets ;
that in building a co-operative store they
propose to inyest their own money and
ask nobody but themselves for custom.
Mr. P. R. Brown opposed the move?
ment. The Grange proposed to do much
for the farmers, but they deserted the order
before much could be accomplished, He
saw in the ranks of the Alliance the same
men who had deserted the Grange, and
could not expect more of them now than
then. Besides, there were not sufficient
safeguards thrown around the individual
stockholders in this Association ; the busi?
ness manager and board of directors may,
according to the.resolutions under consid?
eration, usurp a controlling influence, and
ply the workings of the enterprise to their
personal benefit.
A few minutes were then spent in solicit?
ing subscriptions. Five hundred and
sixty dollars were put down by thirty-two
persons.
Notice was then given that at a call
meeting, to take place at 2 o'clock p. m.
Saturday, 17th inst., the following pream?
ble and resolutions would be offered :
Whereas, The County Alliance made
overtures to the Board of Trade of Ander?
son City, relative to electing a Cotton
Weigher for the city of Anderson ; and
whereas, the said Board of Trade did, to
say the least, treat the said overture with
great manifest indifference, and, whereas,
the County Alliance did, at a recent meet?
ing, elect a Cotton Weigher for the said
City. Therefore, be it.
Resolved, That we do heartily endorse t)ip
action of the County AHianoe.
Resolved, That we individually and sever?
ally agree to pledge ourselves to patronize
the said weigher, by requiring him to
weigh each and every bale of cotton we
shall sell in or ship from Anderson City.
Resolved, That in like manner in reference
to the Co-Operative Store, wo pledge our?
selves to give it our undivided custom,
regardless of detractive advances or con*
cessions otherwise made.
The meeting then adjourned, and thus
closed the day, pleasantly and profitably
spent.
S. S. Newell, Secretary.
TwlggB Items, ?
The season for reunions, pic uics and
revival meetings has arrived, and our peo?
ple are enjoying the same to the fullest
extent.
The Survivors of Co. "F," 24th S. C.
V., held their annual reunion at this
place last Wednesday, 31st u)t. Twenty
six of the Survivors were present and an?
swered to their names. The complete
roll of the Company contains one hun?
dred and sixty-three names, and seventy
four of this number still survive. The
Survivors are grcatljr scattered, and arc

South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis?
sissippi, Arkamsas and To;? as. The Secre?
tary now has the address of ovory snrviv?
log member of the Company, and is au?
thorized by the Executive Committee to
send cards of invitation to Survivors liv?
ing in other States to meet with us nt our
next reunion. Capt. J. T. Hanna took
charge of the Company, and after they
w?ro formed into line, thoy wero marched
round and grouped in front of an artist's
tent, and, after several trials, an excellent
picture of the Company was taken. A
large crowd of ladies and friends of the
old Company were present, and too fore?
noon was spont in pleasant conversation
and the recoupting of incidents and re?
miniscences of the war. It was decided
to have no speeches, and about mid-day
Capt. Hanna anuouucod that the hour for
opening trunks and baskets had arrived.
The ladies took charge of this part of the
programme, and tho dinner was
tempting enough to attract and satisfy
the most fastidious. After dinner tho
Company was formed and marched to
tho school house, when Capt. C. S. Beaty
was called to the chair, and J. B. Leverett
was requested to act as Secrotary. Tho

A. G. ?E?PIS
Tuesday, 13th inst. It has been arranged
f jr the special benefit of the ladies, and
everybody is cordially invited to attend
and briDg well-filled baskets. Several
speakers of prominence will be on hand
to address the crowd.
It is again our sad duty to record an?
other death at this place. Mr. John Car
ponter, who had recently moved to this
place, died last Sunday after a short but
painful illness. He leaves a devoted wife
and one son to mourn his untimely death.
He was born and raised near Neal's Creek,
in this County, and was possessed of
many noble qualities of head and heart.
The bereaved wife and son have the aym
pathy of our community in their great
loss. His remains were interred at Neal's
Creek on last Monday, the 5th inst.
The Alliance will pic nie at Carswell
Institute the 17th inst. The public gen?
erally are invited to attend.
Charles Bafard, an old industrious col?
ored man, died last Sunday evening of
consumption, on the farm of Capt. McAl
ister.
Mr. H. M. T?te and Mr. J. C. Hamlin
have been improving the appearance of
their residences and outbuildings by the
application of the painter's brush. All
their buildings look neat and cozy.
Our section is being well supplied with
new buggies by the dealers at Anderson.
Almost every other man you meet on the
road has a new one. Your correspondent
met a colored man in the road drawing
one by band, and upon being questioned
about it remarked that everybody was
buying a buggy and he did not want to
be out of the fashion. He admitted that
he had no horse to pull it, but thought it
best to buy while they were cheap, and
attempt to buy a horse at some future
time. In taking it home he had to pull it
over some hilly roads and swollen streams.
The crops in this section are on a boom,
and fears are entertained that the cotton
will be injured seriously by the protracted
wet spell. Everybody has fine crops, and
it would be hard to find a farmer who has
a crop superior to his neighbor in every
particular. Mr. G. W. Long, however,
has six acres of new ground corn, which
is worthy of special notice. The land was
cleared this year after the leaves on the
timber were half grown, and now he has
corn on the land equal to any bottom
land in the County. Every stalk has two
ears above the average size. He informs
me that the application of compost was
light. _ _ O.MEOA.
The New Discovery.
You have heard your friends and neigh?
bors talking about it. You may yourself
be one of the many who knows from per?
sonal experience just how good a thing it
is. If you have ever tried it, you are one
of its staunoh friends, because the wonder?
ful thing about it is, that when once given
a trial, Dr. King's New Discovery ever
after holds a place in the house. If you
have never used and should be afflicted
with a cough, cold or anv Throat, Lung or
Chest trouble, secure a bottle at once and
give it a fair trial. It is guaranteed every
time, or money refunded. Trial Bottles
Free at Hill Bros. Drugstore.
A Sound Legal Opinion.
E. Bainbridge, Munday Esq., County
Atty., Clay Co., Tex., says: "Have used
Electric Bitters with most happy results.
My brother also was very low with Mala?
rial Fever and Jaundice, but was cured by
timely use of this medicino. Am satisfied
Electric Bitters saved his life."
Mr. D. L Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave,
Ky., adds a like testimony, saying: He
Eositively believes he would have died,
ad it not been for Electric Bitters.
