Each and every young man in Anderson County who wants to lay away a few dol? lars for a "rainy (lay" should subscribe to a. few shares' ii.r the Anderson Shoe Factory and Tannery Company. It will be a good investment. Judge Cox, the Chairman, requests us to call a meeting or the Stockholders of the" Shoe" Factory to-morrow (Friday) night, at 8 o'clock. The meeting will be held in the Mayor's office. It is important that each and evory stockholder be present. Tho committee of canvassers for sub? scriptions to the cs )?

Jones, who lives about ten miles nor;h of this place, was thrown from a buggy some ten days ago near Six and Twenty Creek., causing the dislocation of her shoulder and otherwise considerably hurting r or. A bad place in the road was the ca> ^ of all this trouble. Mr. T. M. Welborn, of the Five Forks neighborhood, sent ins a potato last week which weighs 41 pounds, and Mr. J. R. Thompson,- ofthesi &e neighborhood, has also sent ns one wblrb weighs 5 pounds. These potatoes aro tie "Queen, of the South" variety. Mir. Welborn {and Mr. Thompson are each persevering and sub? stantial farmers, and are subscribers to the Intelligencer. The Intelligencer had a pleasant oall last Monday from Mr. L. H. G. Hun ter, of Lowndes Connty, Ga., who bos been spending a fer days in the County with relatives. Mr. Hunter is a native of Anderson County, having left here thirty eight years ago. This is his first visit back to his native home, aod he says everything has gone through such a change that he does not recognize any? thing.. He is a pleasant, intelligent gtn tleman, and we nope he will come back to see as again. Our little friend, .Bradley Moorehead, eon of Mr. John M. Moorehead, who lives near, the city, has .gone to Spartanburg County, where he will spend'' several months attending the' Cedar Springs In? stitute, a school foe the deaf, dumb and blind.

The citiaeiis of thb Storeville section have secured the servl?es or Mr. Robert Nicholson, of this city, as Principal of the School at the old Carswell Institute ?for next year. The school will open about January 1st. Mr. Nicholson is a worthy young man, and if the citizens will en? courage his efforts he will build up a fine school for them. ?': Mr. E. P. MoKisaick, representing the Charleston Nevi>3 and CoUner, spent a few days in the city last week, and while here secured a number of new names for both his daily and weekly. Friend McKissiclc Is a good canvasser, and by bis pleasant manners and genial disposition makes friends wherever he goes. He will return to Anderson next week. John Henry, an eleven-year-old son of Mr. Matthias Richardson, of the Five Forks neighborhood, picks on an average 110 pounds of cotton a day. His father gives him a task of 75 pounds, a day and pays him for all he picks over this amount. He has already earned in this way upwards of twelve dollars. We think Mr. Richardson's plan-is a good one. Mr. Wm. L. Poore, who lives near Wil liamston, has a stalk of cotton that is over eight feet iaheightb, andis well-fruited to the top. This stalk was taken from a two aore patch, which was planted .in the Simpson improved seed, and -from which Mr. Poore expects to gather 1,126 pounds of lint cotton. Mr. Poore is a progressive as well as a successful young farmer. The rates over the P. R. & W. C. R.

On this route passengers may leave Anderson at 6.20 a. m., and arrive in Charleston at 6.30 p. ni. A good many of our subscribers within the past few days have comeJbrward and paid all in arrears and a good many paying in advance. To you, oho and all, we tip onr hat and make onr politest bow, and return 'many thanks. May the Angel of peace spread her broad wings over you and yours, and when your life upon this earth is ended, will whisper, ''Come np Higher." ? - The entertainment to take place in the P. M. I. Chapel next Wednesday night for the benefit of the Library Association will be an interesting one, and should have a large audience. The programme will open with a charming.operetta, followed by a grand concert, recitations, vocal lan? cers, and conclude with "Auld Lang Syne" in the singing of which the audi? ence will be requested to join. The Columbia Record says: "Mr. Eu ?ene Cramer, the efficient manager of our pent House has been engaged to paint the scenery and attend to the fittings of the new Opera House of Anderson, and will.enter upon the work at once. No bet? ter selection could have been made either in the North or South, than Mr. Cramer, who is one of the very best scenics artist in the country, and we feel buro they will have a beautiful little theatre." Wm. Giles, colored, of Pendleton, came near being killed at the S. V. R. R. depot last Tuesday. Ho was drnnk, and had walked in between the depot platform and a train of cars, , which stood next to the platform, when the cars moved and mash? ed his body. Three ribs were broken, and he is perhaps otherwise injured. Ho received prompt attention from Dr. R. W, Brown, and on Wednesday morning was doing as well as could be expected. Mr. J. L. Hugfcey, of Greenwood, S. C, will be in the city Tuesday, the 29th inst, in the interest of his ne.w patent level. He sold several months ago rights to Bell the level in all the townships in onr coun? ty, except Broadway, Centerville, Rock Mills, Hopewell and Dark Corner. Mr. Hughey is a straightout Alliance man, and is one of the most successful farmers of Abbeville County. He was, until its consolidation with the Farmer's Alliance, the leading spirit of the Greenwood Grange.. We hope those, of our farmers who have lands that are being washed away will examine Mr. Hughey's level before leaving town. The Greenville Enterprise and Mountain? eer, of last week, says: "Mr. F. F. Nun naly, who lives about eight miles from this City in Anderson County, yesterday informed us that on Friday night lust two men, Fred Nix and Bud Brooks, called at his home and engaged him in conversa? tion, and in a few- minutes thereafter two or three other men came in and all together proceeded to tie him ?nd then administer to him a severe beating The men. were former friends, and liHdidnot once suspect they would thus treat him. We have no doubt but that the affair will be fully investigated in a legal manner, and those committing the outrage be se? verely punished." The Abbeville Mediu m, of last week, say b : "James H. Simpson went up to Anderson last week and while in that cheap market -bought a claw-hammer paying fifty cents. In Abbeville he could have bought one for twenty-five cents or a common hammer for ten cents." We will venture the asser? tion that the same sort of hammer Mr. Simpson purchased in Anderson can't be purchased in the village of Abbeville, for the reason that her merchants do not keep them in stock, and if they did they could I not sell it for less than 75 cents. If the Medium editor can buy the same hammer at 25 cents, he ought to buy a car load and go on the road^at once, for it will pay him a better profit'than his paper. John Robinson's Circus last Tuesday attracted the largest orowd we have ever seen within the limits of Anderson. Va? rious estimates have been made as to the number, and we think we can be safe in saying that there were from twelve thous? and to fifteen thousand visitors in the city. Before daylight crowds of people began to arrive in the city, not only from every section of the County, but also from all of our neighboring Counties and across the Savannah from several Counties in Geor? gia, and by 11 o'clock the Court House Square and streets leading thereto were a moving mass of humanity, of both white and black, both sexes and of all sizes and ages, from the suckliug babe to the gray haired octogenarian. It was half-past 12 o'clock when the street parade took place, and it was followed by amass of people to the show grounds, which were located on West Market street, in the rear of Col. J. D. Maxwell's residence. The day was a most beautiful one, but the dust 1 the dust!?it w.as almost suffocating. On the grounds there was a porfect jam, every one seemingly wanting to enter the mammoth tent at the'same time. Uprm entering, the menagerie was the first t i>e seen. Tut collection was not large, hut it uuutained some excellent specimens and genuine curiosities. From the menagerie the crowd pushed its way into the circus tent, and in a short time it was crowded to its utmost Beating capacity. Upon inquiry Mr. Lowlow told us there were betweeu five and six thousand persons witnessing the performance. There were three rings, with a large racing track -around them, and for two hours every one's eyes were trying to see what was being done in all of the rings at the same time. The perform? ance throughout was very good. Many new features were introduced, und the trapeze and acrobatic features, riding, etc., were far ahead of the average circus. Of course, John Lowlow, the celebrated clown, added much to the merriment of the crowd. Uotwithwtanding the large crowd, good order prevailed throughout the day, which speaks well for this sec? tion. The death of Mr. Thomas S. Crayton, which, occurred at his home in Pendleton last Friday, 18th inst., at 2 o'clock, caused a general expression of rog'et throughout the city, for he whs well known and highly esteemed not only here, but throughout the County. Four weeks pre? ceding his death be was in his usual health and vigor, and while discharging his duties at the Peudietou Factory, where he was employed as a book-keeper, accidently run a splinter into one ot his bands, causing a painful, but not consid? ered a serious wound. In a few days, however, erysipelas set in, and he was confined to his room. Bluod poison fol? lowed and caused his death, which was a great shock to his numerous friends and relatives. Mr, Crayton was in the 64th year of his age, and was born and reared in Greenville. In 1847 he came to Ander? son and engaged in the mercantile business with his only brother. Hon. B F. Crayton. He continued to reside here until immedi? ately after tho war, when he went to Florida, whero he resided for two years, at the end of which time he ret urned to An? derson. Short'3' afterwards he nwvedto Pendleton, and made that place hi* home until his death. Mr. Crayton was married three times. By his second marriage he leaves on*S?3^,8.Craytoti, Jrjof this city, and by his tn>ru Zlre- *h? 5?? vives hini. fij?f little children-.are, J?t*-? cherish his memory. Few men o'vov fs'af ded in Anderson who was more highly esteemed than he, and we feel our inabili? ty to do justice to his many noble traits of cbaracter. He was of a retired disposi? tion, but always genial and cheerful, and had a pleasant word and a happy smile for every acquaintance. He waa strictly upright and honest, and firm in his opiu ions and principles; For a long nnmber of years he was a faithful and zealous member of the Baptist Church, and when > the summons of death came he was pre? pared to meet it. On Saturday afternoon his remains were interred in the Baptist cemetery at Pendleton, Rev. J. S. Murray conducting the funeral services. A num? ber of his friends from this city attended his funeral. Truly, a good man has fallen. In every relation of life he acted his part well, and has 'gone to reap the reward of the rightems. Helton Items. One of the pleasantest incidents of the past week was the marriage of Mr. J. T. Cox and Miss Ida Bigby, two of Belton's popular young people. Though no effort was made for display, but rather the con? trary was the desire and intention of the bridal party, yet everything contributed to make the marriage as beautiful as it was simple in its perfect arrangement. The day, Wednesday, came with its brightest smiles and lades with such promises as would cause the hearts of those wbo have never experienced such delights. to fill and overflow with happi? ness. JTumefotts friends Were present to manifest their pleasure by happy faces and approving smiles. Belore 10 o'clock the Baptist Church had no seats to offer the late ones, and many were obliged to stand even outside the doors. The wed dibg barty came in promptly at 10 o'clock and moved with graceful steps and in perfect, time with the wedding march, so beautifully rendered by Miss Georgia McDavid. The first couple of the atten? dants, Mr. L. S. Bigby alld Miss Emma Clinkoca,les, closely followed the Ushers, D. A. Qeer and E. R: Cox, immediately preceded by Dr. Charles Manly, and -took ositiou on one Bide of a large arch of owers, then came Mr. W. J. Moorehead and Miss Eva Stringer, next Mr. E. T. Breazeale and Miss Ida Brock, with Judge W. E. Cox and Miss Sallie Wing just In advance of the candidates who, as they came under the flower decked arch, stop? ped dlreotly under two very pretty sus? pended letters of ilowersi, C. & B., their respective initials where, in an impressive ceremony by the officiating minister, Dr. 1 Manly, they were made husband and wife. The bride and groom then, as the tones of the organ again broke, forth, pre? ceded the attendants tO a carriage, where they received the congratulations of their many friends, while they awaited the arrival of the morning train that would carry them on their tour to the "City- by the Sea;" In due time the train rolled in and bore them away, happy as they both had cause to be. Tbe latest dash -in the newspaper line is the ""Belton Eornbloiller," conducted by Lewis ck Moorehead. We are glad to welcome it, and trust it will blow loud and long for the enterprising firm and Belton. Tbe Belton Hotel has been rented to the Misses G?sset, of Easley. Its owner and former proprietor, we are glad to state, expects to stay and contribute to the building up of a city here. Prof. w. P. Holland, of Lebanon High School was here last Saturday and Sunday. W. L. Durst, President of Greenwood Cotton Mills, stopped a short while with relatives here while on a return from At? lanta. The saddest occurrence that it has been the common lot of our people to mourn Is tbe untimely death of Mrs. Hattie Kay. Without warning to her friends and en? tirely unsuspected, she quietly and unob? served left her residence where were her sleeping children during the very early hoars of Friday morning and hastened away to a place that should witness her self-destruction. No one knew when she went, nor why, save herself and God. Soon after the alarm of her mysterious absence was spread, and a plan of search was about to be put into effect, it was an? nounced that two cadets, M. E. Geer and T. R. Allgood, in a voluntary search, had' discovered the body in Q. W. McGee's fish pond, where she had, it seams, deliber? ately carried out a previously fixed deter? mination to commit suicide. The follow? ing note, dated?tbree days before the deed, was found at her residence : "Oct.. 15th, 1889. "Dear Children: "I am gone. I have more on my mind than I can stand. Oh! what will become of you all? God bless you my precious, darling children, Lemmie you go to Uncle Heed and make a man of yourself. Bessie, I don't know what you will do unless you go to Louis. And poor little Minnie, what will she do ? God bless her. I want some one to take her that will take care of her and treat her right." Not signed. Her children in Birmingham, Ala., and other places were immediately notified and came in time to attend her funeral services on Saturday afternoon. Dr. Charles Manly, pastor of tbe Baptist Chnrch here, of which she has been a con? sistent and useful member for several years, conducted the funeral services. Lemuel Kay went with his brother, Keys, to Birmingham : Bessie to Mrs. Lou. Young, her sister, who lives near Grove, Greenville County, and little Minnie was taken by her kind uncle, Mr. Louis E. Campbell. Mrs. Leila Poors Williams, of Lancaster, has almost regained her full strength, not? withstanding her recent dangerous illness, and is now on'a visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Poore. Miss Rosa, who has been visiting Mrs. Williams, returned with her. Tbeir friends are making some pleasant failures to Janifest their gladness at.having them here. A large number met them at the depot. The Alliance cotton buyer was here to meet the Alliance men with their cotton Monday. Belton is such a fine market that the Alliance buyer soon realized the fact that the merchants here intend to pay ? full value for any product placed on this market?particularly cotton?and left his fellow-Alliance men in tbe hands of our merchants, these having made better bids than he. The merchants will continue to pay the highest prices for farmers' pro? ducts, and are just as ready to sell to the farmers' advantage. If a trial is necessary to convince any doubting one, let him come and see. . Kappa. Don't Drink. Don't drink, don't drink, don't drink, my friend. Stop! "Wine is a mocker," a tine fellow at first, but an awful deceiver at last. He will take your arm in friend? ship, but will jeer your simplicity at last. He will stimulate you for a dime, and afterward mock you with two. He is a juggler who invariably wins. When one dime is spent for drink, two more are lost in a cloudy brain, in work, time and the public confidence. For "when wine is in wit is out," and concern is away from home. If you are a merchant your clerks will play and your business go down. It you are a lawyer clients will come more and more seldom to your door. If you are a father and husband, you are robbing the innocent ones that confide in your protection. You are cheating the help? less; you are'beginning to tear down your house with your own hands. If yon :ir<> a young man are not God's stim? uli:..t tuuugh for you?health, hope, am? bition, love and an up-grade business? 0, how these honorable stimulants aie adulterated and degraded by drinking! Take care. Est venus in vinis. Contagious passions mingle in tbe cup, and tbe finest, purest and noblest aspirations of the soul are degraded and spoiled. Don't drink. The deadliest diseases are stealthy. Long before Bright's disease has shown its bead its victim is safely en? closed within its coils. Whiskey runs the delicate machinery of the body out of speed and breaks a wheel or leaves a vaJve paralyzed. Don't drink. It puts a man to tbe mean arts of concealing his habits. It makes him pay taxes to public opinion. Why should he go behind a screen to drink? If it is honorable, invilo virtue to go with you. Don't drink, my friend, it leads you into bad company, and then to drunkon ness, disputes over cups, frays, scullles, law suits and wounds without cause. An honorable scar wears well, but a "black eye" without a cause is a disgrace. Don't drink, because it tempts God. It comes under the tenth commandment, it covets a false and sinful indulgence, and soon gets round to the first comruaud ment and renders homage totliegodof wine. ^ D. E. F. Not Authorized by the Alliance. Mil. Editok: We Bee that one A. L. Ferstenbnrg has put up a bar room, and denominated it the "Alliance Bar " Now, Mr. Editor, the Alliance of Anderson County has not authorized him or any one else to do any such thing, and we claim that he has used too much prerogative, and most respectfully ask him to change tbe inscription. We were not organized to erect bar-rooms, but to build up something in their stead If we think that the Alli? ance needs one the proper steps will be taken to build it. Mountain Cmcek Alliance.

Mr. ?nitoh: in yodr paper at .last week you mentioned a new name for West Market street, saying that the people had never been pleased with the name it now bears. I have always wondered why it was not named for the man who opened up that street through his own land, built cottages qu each side of. it, and otherwise Improved thdt tidrt of town. And that same' man* with his Indomitable Dluck and energy, has done as much, probably more, for the advancement and progress of the city than any other man in it, and it seems only just and fair that the street be called in his honor. That man's name is JoHir E. Peoples. -? i-jjw ii Corner Items. White folks and darkles are all gone to the circus. Late cotton and hoar-frost are about to render hoary the heads of some of our farmers. A pleasant evening was spent last Fri? day by the young.people at the residence of Mr. James Jackson. The event of the ?evening was a candy pulling, and the result of the evening's labor was what might be termed a regular hotchprolch,'lasses forming the bases, but the other ingredients, who on earth knows! The school at Moffattsville Academy opened Monday morning with an attend? ance of thirty-five on the roll. The school room has, since last session, been ceiled overhead, thereby rendering it more com? fortable for students. An assistant for Prof. McElroy has not yet been secured, but the board of trustees are in communication with a young lady,, who, they have every reason to believe; will afceept the position. The Moffattsville School^ with the present principal, and competent assistant, will be inferior to none in the County, and parties having children or wards to educate, could not do bettor than place tbem in this school. The neighborhood is quiet, social and moral, and board can be obtained in a few families at very reasonable rates. Treasurer Watkins and his clerk, Mr. W. T. Bowden, met their appointment promptly, carried away some money, and j left a few receipts behind. Mr. Watkins seems perfectly at ease in his new office, and thos^ who met with him were very favorably impressed. Miss Dessie Ligon, a charming young lady from James' Island, has for some time been visiting the family of Rev. R. C. Ligon. We very much fear that her de? parture, when it does come, will leave some of our young men impressed with the song, "I'm 6ad and lonely," <fec. Messrs. Steward and Stacks have recent? ly ordered through the Sullivan Hard? ware Co. a twenty-horse power boiler to take the place of the old one now in use at their gin and saw mill. With anew boiler and their present outfit they will be able to dispatch business promptly. Rev. T. B. Stewart and family, of Moores ville, N. ft, have been visiting the past week the former's parents in the neighbor? hood. Mr. Stewart occupied the pulpit of Rev. C. Pressly on Sabbath, and treated his hearers to a splendid discourse from the text: "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose bis own soul." ** Notice?All persons iudebtod to me will please call at my office ut once and make settlement, thus saving expense and trouble of sending out collectors.
