The Easley correspondent of the Char? leston World, under date of the 16th inst., says: "The moving of the court house to this place seems to be rather quiet?"It Is not dead but sleepeth." The people throughout the country are now beginning to realize the fact that it must come to the railroad, and that Easley is the place. It is understood the necessary steps will be taken when the legislature meets to cut off Brushy Creek Township, in Anderson County, and join it on to Pickens; if that be the case, Easley will tben be in the center of the county, and the court house will be brought here without any trouble." Heury Crawford, a 12 jear-old negro boy, who lives a few miles east of the city, seems to be a most unfortunate bting. A short time ago be met with an accident which resulted in breaking two of his ribs. When he had about recovered from this accident, he met with another and broke his left leg in tw o places.

We regret that more of Our Christian people were not present to have heard the address o?Mr. Law, and learned some? thing of the Society, which is doing such a grand work in supplying all the nations of the earth with the Word of God. The Anderson County Society is an auxiliary of the American Bible Society, and any person who will pay a dollar to the Treas? urer becomes a member of It for one year. The Society sells Bibles at the actual cost of printing them, and they may be secured at the depository at any time from five cents up?owing to the style of bind? ing, etc.?and persons who are not able to pay for a copy are furnished free of cost. A colporteur has recently canvassed An? derson County, selling and giving away tbe Bible. Colporteurs are sent all over the world to do the same work, their sala? ries and expenses being paid by tbe parent Society. We would like to see more In? terest manifested in the Anderson Society, for it can dd a noble wdrk, and it deserves the encouragement and aid of every Christian. Belton Items. Heavy requisitions are now being made on wood yards and overcoats, and scarfs are taken down from their summer rest? ing places. Beyoud doubt Winter began to fan us with his icy wings Saturday and the following night. Sunday was some? what milder, but this is Winter's season, and he not caring to borrow from Autumn or Spring, has only blizzards and snow storms to deal out. As his mildest stock was dealt out on his last round, the less desirable may be exported this time. Look out for tbe wood haulers. Tell them to bring in full loads, the fire must be kept burning. Two car loads of fat hogs were stopped here last week, till our town had satisfied its hunger for spare ribs and pork sau? sage. Mr. William Geer came just in time to please tbe hungry. He moved what was left further down the Columbia & Greenville Railroad. Cadet J. Dean, who has been ill and home for several weeks has returned to school. He reports that his father, Ma or T. J. Dean, has been ill, but Is now fast recoyeriog. The Misses Gossett, of Easley, have taken charge of the well known and pop? ular house, Belton Hotel, so long and so acceptably and successfully managed by Mr. G. W. McGee, who now retires to enjoy a well-earned competency. We are glad to note that he will continue here. These worthy ladies assumed con? trol on 15th inst. Cadet. J. E. Poore met with a peinful accident wbilo "fooling" with an old pis? tol. A flesh wouud in one finger was the warning of danger that the harmless (?) thing very suddenly gave to the aston? ished young man. Dr. Holcombe has moved his family from Fountain Inn to this place?a very considerate act on his part, and most agreeable to B'eltou." Our representative at the Fair was Mr. E. B. Rice, who expresses himself well pleased with its success and his trip in general. We are sorry to know of Mrs. Pinkind's illness at Pendleton. She has not been able to attend her music classes in the Academy for two weeks. We hope she will soon recover. Photographer Snipes has pitched his tent with us, and is doing some good work. Glttd to have him here. Mr. E T. Tolllsun continues his can? vass in behalf of his fire extinguisher. He makes weekly home runs, however. Is always in plaeo at Sunday School, and in the choir on preaching days. We exceedingly regret that tbe last hope of bringing back to our town Mr. J. M. Geer had to be surrendered. Mrs. Geer went with him last Friday. She de? layed going earlier on account of the family re-union held some days ago. Mr. Willis Johnson was found dead last Sunday morning near the residence of Mre. Ellswell, a few miles from Belton. Whiskey was the cause. He left home in the morning carrying his dinner In order that he might spend the day splitting boards. He obtained whiskey somewhere during the day, and while going home late Saturday evening he lost his way with the sad results above named. An inquisition was held. Dr. Todd was the attending physician. The stormy weather made it impossible for persons to attend the contemplated protracted services at the Baptist Church. Dr. Manly preached for us as usual. IvAPrA. Honea Path Items. The Indian Doctor referred to in this correspondence last week, after staying here for two or three dayB, loft for other parts. At a colored hot supper near hero last Friday night some negro women engaged in a fight, which resulted in one of them getting several gashes in the face and head with a razor. Such carousing as they had there that night is strongly con? demned by nearly all the colored people of this place. Rev. R. R. Dagnall preached here last Sunday?his last sermon until after Con? ference. He reports that all the Churches of his Circuit have paid up all their assess? ments for the Conference. This is an ex? cellent showing, and reflects credit both upon the pastor aud his congregations. Tco many people leave off their contribu? tions to the Church until everything else is settled, and give to the Churoh what is left. Let the Church have the first and best. Miss Kitty White and Mrs. Ella Jones, of Auderson, and Mrs. H. E. Watkins, of Greenville, are visiting friends and rela? tives in Honoa Path. Major G. W. Culbertson and Messrs. J. W. Moore and B. F. Cooley paid our town a visit last week. Mr. Moore entered his son as a student in the school hero. Mr. W. P. Culbertson, who is to be as? sociated with Mr. Watkin3, iu teaching here, moved into town last week and en? tered on his work Monday. This gives us two male and two female teachers, beKi'los a teacher of instrumental and ono of vocul music. Quito a number of our young pooplo attended the Gentsvillo Reading Circlo Inst Friday night. Mr. Ci E, Harper has been bick for .sov : ersl days, but is able to be up again. Mrs. Sallie McGee, of this place, is visiting relatives in Fairfield. One of otir bachelors says that when a man is abodt thirty years of age be is too old to associate with the young men, and doe3 not feel at home among the old ones. What is he to do ? Will the Editor please answer? Por. Solomon Is Not Dead. Messrs. Editors : "Son of Toil" must have toiled a long time in trying to assist my friend, "Alliance Man," to reply to the few candid and sincere suggestions I made through your valuable paper to the people. He seems to concede that "Alli? ance Man" is not able to take care of him? self in this matter, and volunteers to "toil" in his behalf. It strikes me that "Son of Toil" must have toiled very hard for a few days before writing his witty (?) article, and the night before writing it be must have eaten a big mess of cheese and ham for supper. I wish to state to my friend, No. i, that I don't "stand" on his sdil, and am not "driving" at rice birds. 1 am trying, at least, to write to people* whd stop occa? sionally and think, and who do not get mad at a man who says something they can't contradict. I would like for "Son of Toil," or some of his friends "in his behalf," to show me one single- word in his article that can be beneficial to anybody. Ho has no "bell" to ring, and, like the fox that lost his tail, he wants everybody to be like himself, consequently he Is trying to crack my "bell", as he terms it. Instead of trying to get into the walnut and get the goody, he is undertaking to eat the hulls, and, not liking them, declares there is no goody in the walnut. I never said "be sure and put on more bagging than the Liverpool men take off." I merely .showed the chronic grumblers how that could be done, and advised the use of heaviest bagging and tie? because it is legitimate. They who fix the tare say we will take off six per cent, for tare, you can pack your cotton as you please. Now, please show me any contradiction between this and the rule my friend speaks so highly of. The Liverpool men do not tell us how much we are to put on, but how much they take off. There is not a solitary principle of morality violated in using two and one-half pound bagging and heaviest ties, provided they are not doubled. Cover your cotton entirely up with bagging aud secure it with'ties, and the Liverpool men do not object. I hope ray friend has some grace, and will never fall from it. I wished to suggest to all farmers the propriety of getting Jute that was not controlled by the "trust" to compete with the bagging that was controlled by the "trust." No one is so blind as that man who can, but will not see. Excuse me, if you please. Farmer's Son. Epoch. The transition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the life of the individual. Such a remarkable event is treasured in the memory and the agency whereby the good health has been attained is gratefully blessed. Herten it iq that so much is heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe their restoration to health, to the use of the Great Alterative and Tonic. If you are troubled with any disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or short standing you will surely find relief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at 50c. and $1 per bottle at Hill'Bros.'
