An old English saying was, "When
yau see much grass In January, there will
be but little gra*s thereat of tbe year."
This meant, we suppose, that a hot, dry
and unfruitful summer would be likely to
follow. We trust that what may be true
of the weather and climate of England
may not apply to this country.

and that a good delegation will attend tbe

class goods, and we bespeak for them a
liberal patronage. Call and sec them at

A [good deal has been said about the
unprecedented warm winter we have had
to the present time, aud several theories
have been mentioned in explanation.
One theory is that the weather is warm
because it has not turned cold, and that
when it turns cold it will cease to be
warm. Good foundation for this theory
can be found in the daily reports from the
weather bureau in Washington.
An effort is being madt* iu the State to
raise a fund to purchase homes for the
families of tbo negroes who wero rocently
lynched at Barnwell. This is a step in
the right direction, and we hope the
white people of every County will con?
tribute something to tho fund. Last
Monday night the negroes of this city held
a meeting and contribute I $11-50 to the
fund. We would like ui veo this sup*
plemented by a contribu ion from our
, white citizens.
The County Examining B mrd of Pen?
sions met in the city last- Monday and
Tuesday, and received fourteen new ap
j'plications for pensions. The Board will
meet again on Friday, February 21st, for

receiving new applications. The recent
< Act of the Legislature makes it the duty
of tbe Pension Commissioners to meet
with the Examining Board, provided they
were re-elected last October or November
by the Survivors of the County, and as?
sist in the revision of the roll, but If the
Commissioners were not re-elected, the
Board will have to meet alone and do the
work. Those who drew pensions last
year are requested to report to either
member of the Examining Board between
this date and thoir next meeting.

Mi?s Janio Moseloy died at the home of
her father, Mr. Ira L. Moseley, in Hope
well Township, last Saturday morning at
3 o'clock. She was ill for several months
with that terrible disease, consumption.
Miss Moseley was about twenty-five years
of age, and was a most estimable lady,
whose death is deeply deplored by a wide
circle of friends. She had long been a
faithful member of Hopewell (Baptist)
Church. On Sunday her remains were
interred in the Hopewell. Church yard,
the funeral services being conducted by
Rev. D. Weston Hiott, in the presence of
a large congregation.
Mr. L. B. Haynie died at his home in
Martin Township last Sunday morning.
He had been ill only a short time, and
the announcement of his death was a
groat shock to many of his friends. Mr.
Haynie was about 05 years of age, and
was born and reared in Anderson County.
By his death the County loses one of Its
best and most upright citizens, and in his
immediate community, especially, his
place will be hard to fill. He had long
been a faithful member of tbe Baptist
Church, and was a most zealous and ac?
tive Sunday School worker. A wife, four
sons and three daughters are left to mourn
his death, and in their sad bereavement
they have the sympathy of a host of
friends and relatives. His remains were
interred at Bethany Church on Monday,
the funeral services being conducted by
Rev. M. McGee.
The minutes of the ^sixty-ninth session
of the State Convention of the Baptist
denomination in Sooth Carolina have just
been issued. They give full accounts of
the work of the Convention, and also a
general report of the work of the Church
throughout tbe State. The compilation
of the minutes shows that great care be a
been taken to have the work accurately
and systematically done. Tbe statistics
given are of great interest. They show
that there are 3S2 ordained ministers and
78G churches in the State. The total mem?
bership is 78,210. There are 568 Sunday
Schools, with 4,093 officers and teachers
and 35,621 pupils. The Baptists collected
last year $9,091.22 for State missions and
colport?ge; $9,508.24 for foreign mis?
sions; $4,082 53 for home missions;
$8,091.52 for education; $135,432.51 for
miscellaneous purposes, or a total for all
purposes of $167,700 10. The total Church
property of the State is valued at $370 000.
Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer:
"We take occasion to commend the en?
terprise of tho Anderson Intelligences
in its report of the opening of Anderson's
now hotel, "Chlquola." The menu was
given in full, very extended statements of
the speeches made were reported, and all
the leading incidents narrated. A double
column picture of tbe hotel was given,
which furnishes a good understanding of
the magnificence of the structure, accom?
panied by portraits of Mayor Tribble, Cap?
tain Frank T. Wilblte, and Col. J. D.
Man well, the leading spirits In the get?
ting up and completion of the hotel; also
a portrait of Mr. R. W. Sperry, the present
landlord of the "Chiquola." The Ihtez,
lioencer desorves the thanks and in?
creased patronage of the people of Ander?
son for its performances in the manner of
its putting on record the opening of their
hotel, which is one of the most complete
and attractive establishments of the kind
in the up country."

Brock, who was ably assisted by several
other energetic ladies. The entertainment

dious dining room of the Cbiquola and

general behavior as well.

Miss Hatlie Lee, after spending two
weeks in our'midst, has returned to her
home in Anderson. We hope Miss Hat
tie will favor us with another visit ere

We hear of some complaint among the
farmers that the fly is destroying the
wheat, and unless we have colder weather
than heretofore, the crop will be.a failure.
In company with a friend we took a
trip through the Fork on business. First,
our stopping place was atS. L Boleman's,
Esq., who we found hard at work in his
saw mill, and from the number of logs on
the yard, we suppose he is doing a good
business. From there we went to the
blacksmith shop of our boyhood friend,
Mr. Chas". Smith. He, too, is in a pros?
pering condition, and informs us that he
is getting more work to do than he can at?
tend to.
The wheat and oats are looking very
promising. Mr. B. F. Wright has the
finest we ever saw for tbo season,
We heard a good story on one of our
best men not long ago. We'll tell It on
him. When he started out in life he was
in the habit of moving so often tbat his
old chicken rooster, when he saw a wagon
coming, he knew what was up. He
would lay down and cross bis legs to be
tied, ready for moving. We will not
vouch for the truth of this, but tell it as
we heard it. Ray,
Everybody Has The "Angelus."?
The number of copies of the "Angelus"
that are scattered through the country is
simply marvelous. Since Frank Leslie's
Illustrated Newspaper of New York offered
an exact reproduction in size and color of
the "Angelus" as a prize to each new sub?
scriber free of charge, the " Angelus" has
been seen in many households. It is a
beautiful picture, and is a fit companion
for Frank Leslie's Weekly, which this week
illustrates the hearing at Washington on
the World's Fair, a summer trip in
Alaska, the recent cyclone in Kentucky,
the perils of stage-coach travel on the
Western plains, the burning of church
mortgaged in Jersey City, and pictures of
prominent persons.
In Meinorlani.
Leslie Brown Haynie was born and rais?
ed in Anderson County, B.C., living an
honorable, useful life until its close, which
occurred at his home in Martin Township
on Sunday morning, 19th inst., after a
short illness, in his sixty-seventh year.
His death was not unexpected, as he had
been gradually declining lor some months,
and he well knew the end was approaching.
Knowing it, hp was well prepared for. it,
having arranged all his earthly business
with rare care and precision,' so that no
trouble need arise in the settlement of his
affairs. He started in life a poor, illiterate
young man, choosing as his companion
Elizabeth Williamson, daughter of the
late Mastin Williamson, and by untiring
effort succeeded in accumulating a suffi?
ciency of this world's goods, and in storing
his mind with kuowledge sufficient to ena?
ble him to attend well to his affairs and fit
him for the various positions he was called
to occupy. He raised his large family well,
and gave them such education as was com?
mon in his neighborhood, left them the
legacy of an untarnished life, and an estate
sufficient to give each of them a better start
in life than himself enjoyed. He was the
father of fourteen children?nine of whom,
with his beloved wife, survive him. Five
of them died when small, and with him
are waiting for the coming of the others on
the other shore. He united with the Bap?
tist Church at Mt. Bethel about 1873, and
from then until its close his life was spent
in the service of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Faithful, devoted, consecrated, he seemed
never to tire, nor ever to despair, of the
ultimate triumph of the Redeemer's cause.
He was soon chosen a Deacon of that
Church, and ''filled the office well," until
his membership was transferred to the
Church at Bethany at its organization five
years ago, where he was also accepted as a
Deacon, and continued the service until re?
lieved by the Head of the Church. He
had been a Superintendent of Sunday
Schools for more than twenty years; and
here his light shiued more brightly than
elsewhere, because of constancy and
faithfulness. He was liberal with his
means, ready for every good word and
work, and promoting every good cause by
his influence. A lite thus spent must end
as did his. He passed away as tranquilly

Acknowledging the Corn,
Colonel Butler of the Department of
Agriculture received the following offi?
cial anuouncment of the award of the
Avierican Agriculturist corn prize yes?
terday :
New York, Jau. 12tb, 1890.
Hon. A. P, Butler, Commissioner of Ag
ricultuie, Columbia, S. 0.
Dear ifiR: We beg to officially inform
you that our grand prize of $500 in gold
for the largest yield of corn on one mea?
sured acre will be awarded to Mr. Z. J.
Drake, ot Drake Poatoffice, Marlboro
County, S. C. He will, therefore, be
entitled to your prize of $500 also. The
preliminary report of his crop will ap?
pear editorially in tho American Agricul?
turist lor February, and the full report in
March, together with the chemical analy*
ees, etc.
Congratulating you on the great suc?
cess of your enterprise, yours very truly,
American Agriculturist.
Tbe following extract is made from
an editorial which will appear in the
February number of the American Agri?
culturist :
Tbe grand prize of ?500 iu gold will
be awarded to Zachariah Jordan Drake,
of Marlborough County, S. C. He .will
also receive a similar prize from the
South Carolina Department of Agricul?
ture, as this enterprising body offered to
duplicate our prize if it was taken in that
State.
Mr. Drake's crop of corn on the ear
from tbe exact contest acre weighed 17,
407 pounds. The average of three tests,
by as many witnesses, was that one hun?
dred pounds of this corn contained only
eighteen pounds of cobs, consequently
the grosB weight named contained 14,
273J pounds of shelled corn. At fifty
six pounds to the bushel tbe crop was
within a fraction of 255 bushels (exactly
254 bushels, 48J pounds,) of shelled corn
on one acre.
But this was the green weight, as taken
from tbe field. According to analyses
made at the South Carolina Experiment
Station by Drs. W. B. Burney and J. B,
McBryde, under the supervision of the
director, Prof. J. M. McBryde, this crop
was remarkably dry, as were all the corn
crops in South Carolina. The shelled,
corn contained only 15 per cent, of water.
We find, therefore, that tbe 255 bushels
of shelled corn contained 217 bushels of
actual dry matter in the kernels without
any water whatever. On the basis of 10
per cent, water for thoroughly crib cured
old corn, or kiln dried corn, the yield
was 239 buahela of shelled corn.
The second largest crop was grown by
Alfred Rose, Yatu County, New York.
His yield was 15,878 pounds of corn in
the ear, averaging 26 per cent, cob, or
213 bushels of shelled corn green weight,
191 bushels crib cured, and 174 bushels
of act ml dry master.
The third largest crop was grown by
George Gartner, Pawnee County, Ne?
braska, bis gross weight of corn on tbe
ear being 11,380 pounds. It averaged
only 16 per cent, cob, or 171 bushels
crib cured, and 137 bushels dry matter.
These crops break the world's record.
The largest yield previously recorded
was 200 bushels shelled corn, green
weight, alleged to have been grown by
Dr. J. W. Parker, not far from Colum?
bia, South Carolina, in 1857, and its
accuracy has been questioned. But there
is no doubt as to the complete honesty
of these crops in the American Agriculiur'
ist prize crop competition. Judgment
should be suspended by the unbelieving
until they read in the Agriculturist for
March bow these unprecedented crops
were grown and the precautions taken to
secure absolute honesty and faithful
accuracy.
We may add also that the superb
showing made by South Carglina will
not be dimmed by the complete record
of the contest corn crop. She has shown
what can be accomplished in the agricul?
ture of tbe new South. South Carolina's
enterprise will, not only be rewarded many
thousand fold., but she has encouraged
her farmers to make a showing that will
be worth veritable millions to her sister
States.?Columbia Register, January 18.
Bears Killed in Clarendon.'
Charlie June and two negroes, Ned
Nelson and Sam Dukes bad an adven?
ture in the bear line last Thursday night,
They were in Santee fishing, and were
camped at tbe place known to bo many
as "Mulberry Landing." About eleven
o'clock in tbe night one of tbe dogs ran
out into the canca and commenced to
bark.' The other dogs were set on and
soon ran tbe objects up trees. The men
went out to see what the fun was, think?
ing, perhaps, they were going to "take
in" a large raccoon, when to their sur?
prise they found in trees just out of the
reach of the dogs, an old bear and two
half grown cubs. The surprise was
neither very agreeable nor especially
stimulating, happening just at that hour
of night, and considering that they had
only gone fishing and carried but one
gun, and very little ammunition, But
they concluded that the victory over
three bears was worth a good deal, once
obtained, bo two of thorn, with tbe dogs,
watched the animals and kept tbem up
the trees while the others rode out some
four miles and obtained more guns and
ammunition, when they shot the bruins
out. It is said that this has always been
a great place for bears to cross the take,
