One word brought on another, and finally terminated in Pack cutting two painful .though not serious gashes with his pocket-knife on Glaspie's person. We have on our table a very interesting little story, entitled "Kiesee and Wasee nee," composed by one of Anderson's charming and most accomplished young ladies, who secured the information it Is based upon during a trip to tbe moun? tains this past Summer, tt will appear in the next issue of the Intelligences. The street which leads from 8outb Main street^to the 8. T. R. R. and out to the Western limits of the city is now known as "West Market.street." .Some of our citizens have never been pleased with tbe I.name, and the Lntelligenccs would suggest that it be changed, .to"Hum? phreys street," in honor of our distin? guished citizen, Gen. Humphreys. What say you, gentlemen of the City Council ? Tne Anderson Hotel Company has secur? ed a landlord for the new hotel in tbe per? son of Mr. B. P. Sperry, of Tuscurhbia, Ala. He will take charge about the 15th of next month. Mr. Sperry is a native of Michigan, and is an experienced hotel man.. He'is very highly recommended, not only by the citizens of his adopted \ home, but by tbe travellag men, who say he has no equal as a landlord In the Uni? ted States. Mr. C. A. Reed has laid in an immense stock of pianos, organs, Hewing machines, wagons,, buggies and other vehicles for this season's trade, and wants the trading Dublio to see them. He makes Iiis pur? chases ' direct from the factories, and will save to every purchaser the middle-man's 'profits. If yon need anything in his line, take our advice and give him a call. Tou will not regret it. His new advertisement will appear next week. Mr. John L. Jolly has left at our office a relic of the late war which he prizes very highly. It is a thirty-two pound cannon ball, and was the first ball fired from Fort Sumter by Maj. Anderson, of the Union Army, at Fort Moultrie, Which was in charge of tbe Confederates.- The ball was picked up by Mr. Manson S. Jolly, who was on duty at Fort Moultrie at tbe time. He sent the ball home, and it has been kept in the family since that time.. Our clever friend, Ed. Whit ten, of Pen dleton . Township, accompanied by his friend, Mr. W. L. Evatt, paid his respects and his subscription to the Intelligen? ces last Tuesday, and at the same time gave ns a sample of his apple crop, which was equal to any apple grown on Horthern soil. Anderson County may have a few better-looking men than friend Ed., but we venture she hasn't one that is morel upright, honest or .possessed of a bigger heart. A mule attached to a wagon in which Mrs. Mary A. McCIellan was sitting, ran away on the Court House Square late Sat urday afternoon. Those who saw it thought that the lady would be killed, but the kept cool, held on to the lines, and finally stopped the mule before it reached the corner of Wbitnerstret, but. in the meantime it ran into another wagon and turned it over. Mrs. McClellan Is certainly to be commended for her bravery.. The ladies of the Baptist Church had a most enjoyable entertainment at the resi dence of Col. J. X>. Maxwell on Friday evening. The programme included read? ings, recitations and music Of tbe reci? tations, that of Miss Lucia Patrick de? serves; special notice. Miss Patrick cer? tainly shows great skill as an elocutionist. The musio was exceptionally fine. An? derson has just cause to be proud of her musicians. At the close of the regular programme ' refreshments were served. The receipts of the evening will go to tbe organ fund. 1 Mr. S. E. Poore, of Pendleton Township, called to see ns Monday and left on our table a very, fine pomegranate, the first we have seen In a number of years. Mr. Poore is a good citizen and an excellent farmer, and certainly the champion pumpkin grower of the County. This year he had a vine which produced nine pumpkins, the largest of which weighed I i sixty-three pounds, and the smallest twen I ty-four pounds, and all of them weighing a total of three hundred and seventy-two j pounds. Thejvine grew on ordinary up? land. Can any of our readers beat this ? Dr. Jesse C. McGce died at bis home in Prentiss County, Miss., on the 2Cth of last August, aged seventy-five years. Dr. Mc&ee was born and reared in Anderson County, and - moved to Mississippi in 1850. He was an uncle of our townsman, Mr. J. B. McGee, and has many old friends in our midst who will be sorry to hear of his death. A recent issue of tbe Baptist Record contains a long obituary of the deceased, written by his pastor, Rev. L. R. Burries, who speaks of his many noble .trails of character and Christian virtues. He leaves four children to cher? ish his memory. Mrs. Ellen Morrow Nelson, wife of Mr. Wm. R. Nelson, died at her home in Prentiss County, Mississippi, on Thurs? day, 10th ins*. Mrs. Nelson was formerly Miss Ellen Skelton, of this Couuty, hav? ing moved to Mississippi in 1850.

She has many friends and relatives in this section who will regret to hear of her death. The meeting of the young men of the city on Monday night in the interest of the proposed shoe factory was an enthusi- ] asticone. The proceedings are published in another column. The enterprise is going to be a success. The capital stock will be $50,000, in shares of $50 each. We will have more to say about the enter Erise next week, but iu the meantime we ope every citizen .who feels any interest in the prosperity of Anderson will come forward and subscribe to the capital stock. Messrs. T. S. Crayton, R, M. Ba? ker, W. A. Vaodiver. R. W. Brown and C. C. Laogston have been appointed a committee to solicit subscriptions. Mr. John I. Glenn spent a few days in Anderson last week in the interest of the Charleston World. The result of his visit was a four-column article in the World about our city. The World is showing very commendable enterprise in ''writing up" tbe towns and cities of tbe State. There is nothing, which is so much needed in our State as a thorough adver? tising, and this object the World is accom? plishing in a marked degree. While here Mr. Green engaged Mr. G. W. Evans as soliciting agent for the World, who will be glad to receive the names of any per? sons who may desire to subscribe to either the daily, weekly, or the Sunday Budyct, of which he is the agent. i\On Wednesday night, 9th inst., about 10 o'olock, a fire was discovered burning in the cellar under Miss Sallie Bowie's store, on Brick Range. The firemen were called out and the fire soon extinguished. There was nothing in the cellar but some wood, and it is a mystery how the lire originated. It is believed to have been the work of an incendiary. The damage was slight. Since the above was written und put in type another attempt whs made to burn out Briek Range, and the scene of the attempt was up stairs, just over the cellar alluded to above, On the upper fl-'or the Misses Cox keep aboard, ing house. A stairway leads from the cellar door to the upper fitory. At the top of this,stall way, on Monday night ? ?re I was kicdledj but from 3ome cause it ex? tinguished itself,, IpayingiOnly a blackened Sl?oe of s.e'yeral irickes in circumference, n Tuesday morning th? re?nan^ of tho ; kindling and the blackened spot was dts covered, showing plainly that it was the work of an incendiary This thing must atop. The guilty scoundrel should be ferreted otic, and then a little "rope 9tretchin<?<' might prove beneficial. We hope thd City fathers will use every effort to discover, the scoundrel. The Walhalla Courier, of last week, Bays: ''Mr. Geo. T. King, of West ?nion, was adjudged a lunatic on Tuesday, and will be sent to the' Asylum in Columbia to-day. His hallucination nebm? to be that he believes birnself to be bewitched by a certain' old womafi living in Ander? son County, and that his safety depends on his shooting her with silver bullets It is stated that lie has even gone so far as to load his gun with silver b.ulletsfor this pUrpos?. He made the bullets out of dimes. Drs. W. A. Williams and W. J. Bramlett conducted the examination in lunacy before Trial Justice Craig on Tues? day." Mr. King is a native of Anderson County having moved to West Union a i'ew years ago. Mr.! Joseph C. ?tfib?tig, wh? dos been keepihg books for Moss & Brown for sev? eral months past, has recently opened a. common. and business school on River street, hear Mr. A. 8. Stephens' Shops. Mr. Stribling was a student of Wonord College for several terms,'and has had several years' experience as a teacher. Pupils entrusted to his care will get credit for public money. Last year he graduated in book-keeping, and is quali? fied to teach that science. His terms are very reasonable, and if there are any young mtin in our County who desire to study book-keeping, we would advise them to consult Mr. Stribling, who is a deserving and wOrtby youtng man. Tbe Charlotte (N. C.) Chronicle of the 8th inst., speaks thus of John Robinson's Circus, which will visit Anderson next Tuesday, 22nd inst.: "To-day John Rob? inson's circus will give two performances and a free exhibition in tbe shape of a street parade, in Charlotte. Wherever the circus has been thjs eeason, the press has cordially praised the performances and lauded the menagerie. For that rea? son, ' the Chronicle has not hesitated to speak well ot this circU% placing faith in its contemporaries. Last night tbe circus arrived in Charlotte from Coucord, where a performance had been given in the afternoon. It took thirty-six baggage and six passenger cars to bring tbe circus here. Along with the circus came tbe inimita? ble and world famous clown, John Low low. John is a native of Georgia, and the funny fellow has a true sectional pride. His wit and humor has the flavor of his early surroundings. His wit is kindly more than sarcastic. A tender heart spreads its smiles through bis agreeable countenance. Every child loves happy old John, and his old folks cannot help warming up to him." An Unfortunate Tragedy. On Wednesday afternoon, the 9th inst., about nine miles south of che city, in Mar? tin Township, a difficulty occurred between Messrs. James Keaton and R-uben Martin, which has resulted in the death of the lat? ter. ' Mr. K eat on is a middle aped man, while Mr. Martin had passed his 70th year. Mr. Martin was never married, and for a lang number of years had resided on the place where the difficulty which cosit him his life occurred. Ho lived with his broth? er, Mr; Roddy Martin, who died a few years ago, and who Was Mrs. Keaton's Erst husband. Since his brother's death he has continued to reside with the family, bis aist.r-in-law In tbe meantime laving married Mr. Keaton. Mr. Martin had the reputation of being a man of roogb manners, and for some time past things have not been as harmonious as they might have been on the plantation. The crisis came on Wednesday, the 9th inst., when Mr. Martin was rendered un? conscious by a blow Irom a piece of fence rail in the hands of Mr. Keaton. In this unconscious state Mr. Martin remained until last Saturday afternoon, when he was called from time into eternity. When this occurred, Mr. Keaton, though wounded himself from the effects of the difficulty on tbe preceding Wednesday, came to Ander? son and surrendered to Sheriff Bolt, at tbe same time engaging tbe services of Messrs. Murray & Murray, and J. L. Tribble, Esq., as his attorneys. Coroner Nance was notified, and early Sunday morning he went down to thescene of the trapedy. A jury of inquest was at once empanelled with Mr. W. Y. Miller as foreman. The following is the evidence in full as recorded by the Coroner: Testimony of Mrs. Lou. Keaton. On Wednesday of last week I was at the evaporator making molasses. I had got the molasses where I .could not leave them, and Reuben knew it. He picked bis time to worry me in the .absence of ray husband. He commenced cursing me-for selling a piece of land, as he thought. I had had some of my neigh? bors to come In and appraise tbe piece of land with the view of selling it. He said: "God damn you for selling it to him, and God damn tbe son of a bitch, he shonld not have it. I intend to kill him." I then ordered him off, as he had taken advan? tage of my work and the absence of my husband to abuse me. I told.him I would tell Jimmie, and he "aid, "damn you and Jimmie Keaton bo a to hell, and damn them that don't damn you ; but you need not say that I cursed you. If you say that you tell a damn lie," Aftor the cursing 1 saw Jimmie coming. I went and met him, and told bim 1 had stood Reuben's abuse and vulgarity as long as I could stand it. Jimmie stopped a moment in thought, and asked Reuben: "What do you mean by always abusing me and my wife in my absence?" He gave no reason, but drewhisi knife in his right hand, in striking posture, with his stick in his left band. Reubsn struck at Jimmie with the knife, aud Jimmie struck at Reuben with a piece of a fence rail, which Jimmie had picked up some time before the lick was struck. The two struck so near to? gether that I do not know which struck first. As soon as the lick was struck, Jimmie turned around and the blood was streaming from his face. I don't know whether Reuben struck Jimmie or not. I don't know what cut the gash in his forehead, unless it was Reuben's knife. Jimmie had begged Reuben to go away, but Reuben said: "Damn you.you shall not live together any longer. I am going to kill you. ' Some time in June was the first time that Reuben commenced abuse. I heard him in the kitchen talking to the children, telling them things that I knew were not so. I went in on him and told Judie she need not believe what he was telling her ; that Jimmie would treat her and all the rest of the children all right, if they would do so to him. This seemed to put Reuben in a rage. He would follow me up from one house to the other, cur? sing and using bad language in every shape. Ever since tbe time spoken of in June, be would, at the table at meal time, direct his bad talk at either me or Jimmie or the family at large. Reuben Martin has lived in the house with me I reckon for twenty-ope years. He never was very pleasant. Cna* Examination.?These are my prem? ise-* rt. ?ben Martin was my first hus? band's brother. Jimmie Keaton is my second husband. Since my last marriage Reuben became abusive. He use to take bis spells, but was not abusive. My hus? band has beeu very kind to Reuben, and after the fuss in June Jimmie asked him to make friends with him. Reuben said he did not want his friendship, and told -Jimmie not-to speak to him again. Jim- j mie said that he would not live with him j twelve months longer; that we would get us a place and move. Reuben said ho would follow Uii to hell or live with us. My object in selling the place to Jimmie was to build and move and let Reuben stay nt the old place. Our object was to get away from Reuben I could not tell how often I have heard Reuben threaten to kill my husband, but time and again ho said he would never die satisfied until he did kill him. I had ordered Reuben off my place before tbe other day, but he swore he would not go. but would follow me if it was to hell. Reuben was very quiet the morning of the difficulty until after Jim? mie loft home. My husband bus never at any time mistreated Reuben. I am sure my son never hit Jimmie in the head with the axe, but struck him in the back with the pole of the axe. If my son struck Jimmie with the rock at all, he struck hi in in tbe back. I saw but the one knife, and that was the one Reuben had. Testimony of George Norris. I live at tin* place with Mrs. Lou. Kea? ton. When Mr. Jimmie Keatou came up, (I don't recollect what day of the week it waii) Mr. Rotibcn Martin was cursing Mrs. Keaton. Mr. Keaton ordered Mr. Martin to hush, but he would not do so. Mr, Maitin told Mr. Keston if he hit him he had better make it a sure lick, for if ho did not he would cut his damn-guts out. Mrs. Keaton offered a hickory to Mr. Kea? ton to hickory whip Mr. Martiu, but Mr. Keaton would not take it, but went te> the rail pile and got a piece of a rail and hit him with it, and he full. I then uot on the mule and went for Mr. Robt. Keaton. I can't tell what Mr. Martin was cursing Mr. Keaton atmut. \Ir. Martin had his knife open in Iiis hand when Mr Keaton at ruck him ; also ba: his walking cane in his hand. I moved here a littio before Christmas, and have never heard Mr. - AT - I Have Bought a Big Stock, and need a big pile of money, so the Goods must Go ! CLOTHING! SUITS from $8.00 to $35.00?Men's.

The Clothing, Shoes and Hats have got to go, and the above prices will make them move DON'T BUY UNTIL I GIVE YOU PRICES, %M A, G-. MEAJSTS, Jr. j I Martin curse Mrs. Keaton. I was feeding the cane mill, and do not know what Mr. Martin and Mrs. Keaton were talking about, as the mill made so much noise that I could hot understand them. I do not know whether Mr. Martin was mad with Mrs. Keaton or not. He had his knife in his hand before Mr. Keaton hit him. He always walked with a stick. Mr. Martin was at the mill two hours before Mr. Kea? ton came. Cross-JExaminaiion.?I do not know what they were talking about. Mr. Martin ! and Mr. Keaton were some ten feet apart when they first began to talk. Mr. Mar? tin b,nd his knife open in his right baud, flipped with blade down and advancing, never saw Mr. Martin with his knife in that position advancing towards any one before. I never heard Mr. Martin swear he would cut Mr. Keatonls entrails out before that evening.- Mr. Keaton told Mr. Martin he did not want to hurt him, and begged him to hush. Mr. Martin had his walking-stick in his left hand. Redirect.-Examination.?I d id not see Mr. Martin out Mr. Keaton. I don't know whether be cut him or not. Testimony of Dr. TV. H. Kardin. I am a regular practicing physician, and live a*. Anderson C. H. I have examined the body of Reuben M. Martin, and find an abrasion on the scalp on a level with the ear on the left side of the head, about I four inches behind the ear, such a bruise | as would be made with a slick or rock ; directly opposite, on the right side of the head, where tbe eyebrow joins tbe temple, an abrasion und some bruised blood under the skin. That was all I saw on tbe ex? ternal view ot the body. I then opened the head and f.'imd an effusion of blood? two or two and one half leaspoonfni of survicnagulated blood in the anterior lobe of the right side of tbe brain. The brain matter was broken down with pres? sure from the clot, in extent, two inches in length by ono in width. There was a general effusion in the front lobe of tbe brain on the surface. The clot of blood came from a rupture of the artery of the brain. We fuund all tbe arteries of the brain of survio-sih'cation, which condition increased the hazard of rupture. This os? sification of the arteries render them more brittle, more easily broken, viz., a les9 blow would cause rupture more easily than in a healthy condition of arteri?s The rupture taking place on the opposite side from the blow is quite a common accident. The injuries found were suffi? cient to produce death. I have examined Mr. Jimmie Ktalon's bead, and find a cut that war evidently cut with a knife or sharp instrument. A rock or brick would not have made such a cut. I found two bruises on Mr. Keaton?one on tho hip and one some four inches higher. The abrasion on Mr. Martin in tbe front or forehead was, in my opinion, caused by the fall from the blow in the back^part of the head. Drs. S. M. Orr and R. W. Brown assist? ed Dr. Nardin in the post mortem, and both concur in his conclusions. After hearing the above, the jury render? ed a verdict that tbe deceased came to his death by a blow wich a piece of fence rail in the hands of James Keaton. On Monday Mr. Keaton and his attorneys went to Abbeville C. H., where application for bail was made to Judge Frazer, who granted it, ai d fixed the bond at $2,500, which was secured. The defendant was re? leased to appear at our next term of Court. The affair is a moBt unfortunate occur? rence, and is deeply regretted by all tbe parties concerned.
