The Clerk will be in his office on Tuesday and Saturday of each wc^to issue checks to persons wbo hold claims against the County. Last Monday nicht, about 12 o'clock, the gin house of Mr. John* T. Morgan, who lives near Moseley, was destroyed by fire. All of his farm machinery, end thresher, together with three bales of cot? ton and over Beven hundred bushels of cotton seed, were also bnrnt. The loss amounts to more than. fifteen hundred dollars. It is not known how the fire originated. Mr. W. W. Martin, who has been liv? ing near Majors, in this County, has moved to Liberty, S. 0., where he will make his home, and still continue to sell the old reliable Singer Sewing Machine. The Compaqy- recently offered a cash prize for the best report made by any of its agents in South Carolina, and Mr. Martin came in two points of securing the prize. He is a live, active agent,- as well as . a most excellent gentleman.

It comes once in 215 years, and is of won? drous brilliancy for the space of three weeks. Then it wanes -and disappears after seventeen months. It will be a sixth star added to the five fixed stars in the constellation of Cassiopeia,. while it remains in sight. Last-Saturday' as the up freight train was running at full speed down this side of Starr, Mr. Charlie Mllford attempted to get off. He managed to. get off, but did ? not let loose, and was dragged over the end of the crossties.for about a hundred yards, when- he was unable to hold on longer.- He fell and was picked up by the section hands,'who were at work In sight of where the 'iffa i r took place. Doc? tors were called in,'and r.u the- aid possi? ble given, bat there is very little hope for Mr. Mi Word's recovery: He is vory much bruised, especially on the side that was next to the ground. Last Thursday morning a five-months old negro child was found dead in its bed in a tenant hou?e on the plantation of Mr. "Bud " Pruitt, four miles South' of the olty. It was a stont, healthy child, and its mother had. left il in bed that morning, sleeping, apparently, very well. At 10 O'clock she went to the bed and found the child dead. The circumstances were a little suspicious and Coroner Nance sum moned a jury and held an' inquest over the remains. The jury made a thorough Investigation, and, after hearing a state? ment from Dr. Parkerand the evidence of I several witnesses, returned a verdiot that the child bad been accidentally smothered by its mother. ' The following batch of indictments will be presented to the Grand Jury next week for action: Henry Nelson, larceny of livestock; John Ward, same; Sam Irby, alias Goo, Anderson, same; W. A.

Evening Star, of the 25th lust., contains portraits aud biog? raphies of the officers of the Pan-Ameri ? can Congress, which is now in s ession in Washington. Among the officers is Mr. Edward A. Trescott, of whom the Star speaks as follows: "A general favorite, a ?chip of the old blook,' is Edward A. Trescot, the: junior Secretary of the dele? gation of the United States to the confer? ence. His duties are varied and numer | ou9, and they are all promptly attended to. I He is the youngest son of the Hon. Wil ! 11am Henry Trescot, the well-knoWn di? plomat, himself a delegate to the confer? ence. 'Eddie,' for by that abbreviation is he known to his many friends, was I born in Pendleton, Anderson County, S. C, twenty-two years ago. In that same town he grew up' and recelyed muoh of his education?that education whioh he is now finishing with a law course at Co? lumbian University in this city." . Tuesday evening about 8 o'clock a young couple from CentervUle Township, came into the city on the hunt of an offi? cer or a preacher to tie the matrimonial knot for them. They stopped at the store of Messrs. E. W. Taylor & Co., and, mak? ing their wants known, in a short time J. W. Quattlebaum, Notary Public, was brought in and made them husband and wife. In the meantime a large crowd had gathered at the store and insisted that the couple should go to the parlors of the Chlquola to have the ceremony perform? ed, but they refused to do so. At the con? clusion of the ceremony a purse was con? tributed by the spectators- and presented to the bride by Capt. Whack Baily in a neat little speech. A fee of one dollar was also given to Judge Quattlebaum by the crowd for performing the ceremony. The couple received the congratulations of the crowd and then retired. The groom was about 18 years of age and the bride several years his senior. It was evidently a run? away matoh. the Work of ? Barclar. * Last Sunday morning the back door of Moss & Brown's store room, on depot Btreet, was discovered open. It had been seoursly fastened Saturday night, and Mr. Moss and his clerks were puzzled to know how it came to be opened. They at once made an investigation, and found that a lot of goods were missing. In the re?r?f the store tbey also found some flour and meal scattered along the ground to a fence some distance off. A lamp was also found sitting on the floor under the counter, These circumstances convinced Mr. Moss that some one had been i -> bjs store during the night. Chief of Folk ?? McGruder was notified of what had occurred, and he quietly went to work in the case. Monday evening the Chief arrested two negroes, Honry Wilson and his sou Henry, a boy about 14 years of age. \V:Uou is employ? ed by G. F. Tolly <fc Son, and lives in a house on McDoffie street, near the rear of Mobs &, Brown's store. His house was searched, but no goods were found there. The boy, however, acknowledged to have been in the store during the night. He said he went into the store Saturday night, before it was closed, and secreted himself in the' closet, where ho went to sleep, When he awoke, said he opened the back door and went home. He said he did not take any goods from the store. He also stated that bis father told him if ho said anything about being in the store he wonld beat him to death. Wilson denied knowing anything about the robbery or his son being concealed in the store, but told several different tales about the mat? ter. He has heretofore borne a very good character, and his arrest was a surprise to many persons. His son, however, is said to be a mean little scamp, and there is no doubt of his guilt. Wilson's preliminary trial began Wednesday morning before Trial Justice Todd, but up to the hour of going to press the case bad not been con eluded. Death of Mrs. Frevost. Mrs. S. H. Prevost died quite suddenly at her home in this city last Sunday morning, and the announcement of her death was a great shock to her many friends and acquaintances. She was in her usual health up to last Friday, when sho bad a severe attack of cramp colic, which was followed by another attack Saturday morning. Dr. S. M. Orr attend? ed her during both attacks and called again to see her late Saturday afternoon, when he found her resting easy, and the family were hopeful that she would soon be well again. As she could not rest so well in bed, she decided to spend the night in a comfortable chair before the fire. Mr. Prevost Bat u p with her through the night, and about 5 a. m., being re? lieved by Mrs. Allen, he retired to bed. Mrs. Prevost was sleeping apparently very well. At 7 o'clock it was thought best to awake her and give her .another dose of medicine. Mrs. Allen called Mrs. Prevost, but she did not respond. Mr. Provost then came to her side and called her, but she still did not arouse from her slumber, and, placing his hands upon her, he discovered that death had claimed' her as his victim. She had been stricken by apoplexy and died without a struggle. Mrs. Prevost was about 41 years of age, and was the youngest daughter of the late Stephen McOully. She was a lady of many noble virtues of both heart and mind, and was highly esteemed by her friends. She was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Churoh. On Monday morning her remains were interred in the Presbyterian cemetery, the funeral servi? ces being conducted by Dr. Frierson. A husband and five little children are left to cherish the memory of a da voted wife and mother. Beltoa I terns. So smoothly do the affairs of our town glide along that some of our prominent and most interested citizens in the town's welfare were Mgnoiant for several days afterwards that the election for town offi? cers had been held, and that Bel ton was really under the management of a new council. This is the first election under the new charter, whioh gives Belton an area equal to that of a city. In a few years more we expect to hear of Mayor J. T. Rice and Aldermen W. J. Moorehead, J. T. Cox, J. C. Harris and E. T. Breaz eale instead of Intendant and Wardens as at present, The time is coming. The people in the surrounding country recog? nize the advantages in a borne market and tbe great concern to them of making it better. They feel able to undertake the work, and are now taking steps to do it. One important move is the projected co? operative cotton Beed oil mill. This, with other enterprises that will turn out large profits to our farmers and business men, are being enthusiastically discussed. After the meeting called for the 15th inst.j when our merchants and other business men will not only welcome their substan? tial friends, the farmers, into town, but will join hands, hearts and pocket-books with theirs, we expect to see more action than'talk. The day of doubts and experi? ments have passed. Now, it is but to de? cide and do. The location is equal to the best. The amount of business carried on here the past season, and now, is larger, considering the population and the prop? erty valuation, than any town in the County, we balieye. Perhaps this ac? counts for the neat and substantial im? provements recently placed here by C. & Gt. R. R. Tbe Railroad Agent informs as that the business over the line to and from this place had never been better. The ? railroad feels that Belton deserves wbat she is receiving, and it is'given with a heartiness that makes Belton all the more proud of it; especially since her larger city secretly complains so griev? ously of negligence to her. This is the place for co-operative enterprises. Come and build. Belton is ready to begin at once. . Lewis & Moorehead are preparing, to build a large warehouse near the site of tbe old freight depot. Their rapidly browing business makes this a necessity. 1'hoy find their present storerooms too small, and have determined to make a lengthy extension tp the rear of them Rice Brothers have very tastefully painted the pretty little office at their oil mill. The fronts of their stores have un? dergone noticeable changes for the better. Mr. B. A. Wilson is happy in his hand? some ne/<offlce. He ought to be, for it is' one of the most convenient on tbe line, and for beauty of finish, both the interior and the exterior, it is unsurpassed. The Postoffice has been on tbe tramp since Mr. Todd left Belton. It first went to the telegraph office, then to tbe Drug Store of W. E. Campbell, where it is likely to rest for a while. Mrs. B. A. Wilson 1b acting postmistress for the present, and a most excellent and acceptable one, too, Bbe is. We noticed among the visitors here Misses Eliza Gambrell and Mlnuie Wood of Williamston, Misses Nota Brownlee, Bertie Holland -and Maud Brownlee of Abbeville County, E. R- Cox of Don nald's, Walter Qeer of Anderson, and Clyde Horton of Williamston, have been here looking after prospective partnership matters, perhaps; but we were glad to have a word with them. Dr. Shirley, of Honea Path, attended Sunday School last Sunday at the Baptist Church. He doesn't come too often, for he prevents one of the pupils from staying away by thoughtfully providing her with a seat In a handsome buggy. Messrs. J. R. Blake and D. Wyatt Al? ken, enthusiastic and prominent Alliance men, spent last Friday night with their fellow-worker, A. 0. Latlmer. They were en route for Anderson to attend an Important meeting of Alliance leaders. Mr. Boliu Allen, of LowndesvMe, Ab? beville County, made a flying visit to Dr. H. W. Todd's family. He brought his son, Clement, to enter Belton Academy. J. R. Gossett, Esq., of Easley, has sent his daughter, Miss Ada, to reap some of the good results that the students of our Academy enjoy. A slight excitement was raised in tbe upper portion of the town Sunday night by a report that burglars had entered a dwelling from whioh tho inmates had gone to Church. While two young men were passing tbe house they heard a door in the house shut. One of them knowing that the family were away, and that the door could not move except by the hand of some one, hurried to the house, enter? ed and began a very cautious search, bav? in? previously armed themselves with' the first .weapons their eyes fell on- Not finding the burglar, and perhaps they were a little cautious lest he should be found, they held a short consultation and promptly decided to call in reinforce? ments. While one of them with fireshovel in hand went in hot haste for help, the other stationed himself about thirty yards from the dwelling and raising the fire tongs in a defensive attitude waited, with foar and trembling, lest the burglar should escape and pass out by him before help oould arrive. How nobly did those boys act their part. That long waiting while tho long race of fifty yards was being run, an d the long coming of help?how our heart goes out towards those young men. Now the renewed seaich. Every corner and jam that a burglar could wish large enough to afford a hiding place from such a force was examined, but?but?oh ! where did he get out? Woe be unto him if he should bo dragged from under the table cloth, or be shaken out of tbe folds of tbe suspicious looking iace curtains. This determined force would forever have ended his foolish ideas about entering the dwellings of people where such vigilants are at hand. Dr. Manly in his sermon last Sunday gave us sound advice and timely warning to follow the example of tho five wise vir? gins. Kappa. Craytonvllle Items. Owing to the unusual changes In the weather for the last few days, colds are prevalent in this section. Some oats are being sowed at present, but tbe outlook for a small grain crop is not favorable. It id feared that the warm winter will result in the usual destruction of the wheat by "fly." One favor calls for another. The farmers were favored with a good crop last year, and they want one more just as good, or if possible, a lit? tle better. The cry for hands continues, and they can hardly be got for love nor money. Almost every one wants more hands and say they must have them, regardless of quality or price. Mules, negroes and guano form the most Important topic for the farmers at present. If some-jno would furnish Anderson County with as many mules and negroes and as much good fertilizer as we want, all gratis, we would beat the world farming. We be? lieve it. A great many farmers are taking adyan tageofthe unusually favorable weather, and it seems at present that nearly all are going to prepare better by breaking their land more thoroughly. We know by ob servation that our best and most success? ful farmers break land well, tnannre | heavy, and cultivate fast and shallow. The ??trail road" passe? through this sec? tion of country, and travelers passing along used to say that a man would per? ish to death if all his land was tbat.poor. We will say to those transients that nearly all our land is about the same quality, and Mr. J. J. Robinson baa a little gin for this little neighborhood. This season he has ginned the snug little amount of 530 bales of cotton. Besides this our cribs are full to the boards, and our smoke houses are not all empty either. My dear friends if you think we are starving here j ust ?top when you pass next time and you will never say starve to us any more, but you will want to know if there is any room for you among us. We hope that'yon will stop and learn about our poor farms and our hospitality, bnt we think it use? less to attempt to locate hore among us unless you want to build houses, teach school, or preach, because we are already crowded till our chickens and children run and mix up so that a dispute arises about whose they are. Some cut off or pull out their chickens' tails in order to know them. i B. P. Mitchell has finished putting in his cotton seed for manure. He has put from twenty-five to ? forty bushehj of seed to the acre. He will take tbe same shovel plow that was used to open for the seed, and run directly in the same furrow, which has one furrow now thrown with a half shovel to cover the seed. This will throw tbe seed out far enough to prevent them from all being thrown back in listing, therefore the seed will be mixed all through the bed. After these seed are thrown out with the shovel, he means to distribute three or four hundred -pounds of fertilizer to be listed on with the seed, and expects to make a bale to the acre on a part of his crop. Mrs. Vannah Griffin, of Shoal Creek, Ga., is visiting relatives in this section. Mr. John Mitchell, who spent a portion of last year in this section, is with us again. He has located with Mr. J. M. Mitchell. John Is a pleasant young man, and seems to make himself agreeable with every one, especially with the ladies. Mrs. Lenora Mithell and daughter, and Mrs. J. M. Simmons, are visiting Mrs. Callle CliokBcales, daughter of the former, near Bradley, S. C. Mrs. Cllnkscales has been quite sick, but we are glad to report is at present some better. Miss Lucia Norris is teaching school in a house near Mr. J. W. Kay's near this place. She has a large school and -the patrons are well pleased so far. Some.time ago a dashing yonng man made an engagement to carry a lady to Church. The lady fixed herself and was getting impatient waiting for her escort. He was true to his word and came sailing up to- tbe house as if to escape death. The lady was soon out, and the young man alighted, assisted her into the buggy and started to crawl in, too, when the lady exclaimed: "Man, where is your cushion?" We can't say how the man felt, or what he said, as we never did for? get so important a thing. Mr. Editor, can you? If so,"respond. Crate. Dots From Hamilton. The 3rd Sunday was the first service in Carmel Church, in the new year, by Rev. Dr. Riley. The Doctor has lately removed from Pickens to Easley, where he will be more accessible to the different Churches in his pastorate. The Doctor's sermons are always good. The schools in this neighborhood have generally opened under favorable aus? pices. The Algood school, under the care of Miss Williams, the Flat Rock school in Pickens, under Miss Glazener, the Ham? ilton school, under Miss Leola Russell, and the Pickens School, under Miss Flora Richoy, are all in full blast aud doing good work. These fonr school cover an area of less than ten miles, and all are well patronized. In the same territory there are one or two colored schools. Tho people in this corner of Anderson County seem to be waking up to the im? portance of educating their children, and apparently prefer the lady teachers. Hurrah for the women.' Removals from one farm to another is now the order of the day. Greenlee Glas pie, one of our oldest and most industri? ous farmers, has, after a residence of ever since the war in this neighborhood, con? cluded to remove to his brother, Albert Glaspie's farm near Pendleton, where we hope he may spend the remainder of his useful life on that valuable farm. He name home from the war, broken up for a time, with a dependent family, aud set? tled first on a part of the Orr lands, where he took a second start for a comfortable home and competence. While he has not acquired land of his own, yet he has suc? ceeded in raising his family in comfort, and was always in demand as a good ren? ter. May the evening of his life bo spent in comfort and quiet, and in an earnest endeavor for that heavenly mansion, where there will be no more wars, nor sighing, nor troubles. Whit Martin, the Agent of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, is in good luck. The Company put up a prize of $20 in gold for the agent who would sell the largest number of machines in the month of December. At first he did not think of entering the contest, but on the persuasion of a friend he was induced to put in two week's work, and came within one point of gaining the first prize, and tied on another prize. Whit has rented his farm to Bud Cartee, and will soon move to Liberty, where he has bought a lot aad will tako up his residence there. This old and well established Company know the value of good agents, and treat them well. They were summoned not long since to Greenville, where they met for conference, aud were royally enter? tained at one of the best hotels of the city at tho Company's ospeiwe, * Brushy Creole Items. c The enterprising citizens of this section are erecting a very substantial school building near the late residence of John Reeks. The building will be two stories, and the upper lloor will be occupied by the Masonic fraternity. Mr. Marion Ellison had tbe misfortune to have his gin house, gin and fixtures, together with five bales of cotton, de? stroyed by fire last Tuesday night, 28th ult. The fire caught from a spark from his engino while sawing lumber. A report reached here last Friday that Dock Jones, the notorious negro who es? caped from the Penitentiary last Decem? ber, whs lurking around across the line in Pickens County. On Monday night sev? eral gentlemen surrounded the house where it was thought he was staying, and, calling for him, a man ran out and knocked one of the gentlemen down and made his escape. Next day it was learned that the negro was net Dock Jones, but a . negro named Dick Walker, who recently stabbed a white'man at Carnesville, Ga., on Christmas Day. Mr. Jas. Burdine has several acres of wheat that have been entirely destroyed by an insect. Cob W. S. Pickens is too much attached to his old home in this section to leave us, and will not move to Easily. * * Noten from Townvllle. Fall oats sown on stalk land are begin? ning to suffer from the ravages of the flv. Mis3 Victoria Gaines returned last week from a ten days' visit among friends at Eonea Path. Messrs. Will Gaines and Arlington Mil ford, of Anderson, came up' Sunday and attended Church. Mr. Cladius Maret, youngest son of Ma? jor G. W. Maret, of this Township, is prospecting in Texas. ' Rev. J. R. Earle preached an eminently practical sermon here last Sunday from che words: "For I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day." The dis? course was replete with clear-cut reason? ing, the principle of faith being specially stressed. The Presbyterians are putting blinds in the windows of their Church at this place. The new school house at Smith Chapel is a great credit to that neighborhood. School;in terests therejwero at a low ebb for several years. Now, however, the flood-tide of prosperity has returned, and tbe citizens with commendable spirit seized the occasion to build a first-class house and thus ensure a good school every year. Mr. D- A. Ledbetter, the handsome and efficient manager of the business of the firm-of Messrs. Sharp & Ledbetter, made a business trip to Atlanta this week. Mrs. Rev. J. Walter Dickson was quite sick last week with pneumonic symp? toms. N, De Plumb. 1 From Five Forks.^ Having but recently located in this sec? tion, I am not prepared to give you many interesting items. I moved here on the 6th inst., with a full determination to make myself useful, so far as I am able, and, at the same time, avail myself of other peoples' usefulness, and, in order to begin right, I at once subscribed for the Intelligence. I received my first copy Friday, and enjoyed a mental feast last night in the perusal of its columns. I was very much interested in reading the items of "Kappa," "Erwin," "Flat," ."Jay" and "W. & P." Well, now I would like to fall into line, and in a social, instructive way get mixed up with your several correspondents. I see nothing in your noble journal from the wide-awake little burg of Five Forks, and I am deter? mined, with your permission, she shall have a "finger in the pie," and not be Blighted, I fear I will not be able to give you such glowing statements of the visiting, the outgoings and incomings of the young people as some of your Corres? pondents?not because young folks are scarce in our little community. I tell you what, sir, from the observations I have been able to make up to this date, I have come to the conclusion that Five Forks can boast of as many pretty girls, to the square acre, as any other sections of equal dimensions. I oan't say so much for the boys. In fact, it was always a left-handed job for me to compliment a man on his good looks. I never did, in all my life, relish compliments from others, on my fine appearance, althongh I have had to wor? ry through a good deal of the stuff, as you Will discover, on our first acquaintance. Well, notwithstanding the boya are not pretty, they are all good fellows?they are honest, sober, Industrious, and well de? ported?and will, no doubt, make good husbands and useful citizens. I think, from what I saw yesterday at Uncle Links, some of them aim to make the experiment soon. As I am a new subscriber and new cor? respondent, I will close for 'the present, with the promise that I. will, In the near future, endeavor to give you something more worthy of the Intelligencer, and your attention. Should you have occasion at any time to pass through the^Five Forks section, call and see Shakes. Educational and Sunday School Conven? tion. Williamston, S. C, Jan. 27,1800. Mb. Editor: Please give notice through the Intelligencer that the next meeting Of the Educational and Sunday School Convention of Anderson County will be held March 1st and 2nd, 1890, in tbe Mount Zion Baptist Church, Belton. It was sent by the last meeting to Royal Baptist Church in Anderson, but as tbe members are trying to build, tbe Board sends the meeting to Belton. It is hoped that all tbe schools in the County will meet and bring a good collection. Respectfully, F. J. Washington, Sec Thomas Nast S?bpassed.?Thomas Nast's strong pencil did more to make Harper's Weekly popular than anything else connected with it. Nast has disappear? ed from view, but Frank'jLesl?'s Illustrated Newspaper, which has now supplanted Harpes's Weekly among Repnblicans;becau8e of its Republican policy, hau secured a cartoonist who rivals and even surpasses Nast. The first page of Leslie's this week contains a political cartoon that Republi? cans and Democrats both will appreciate. Another exclusive feature of Frank Les? lie's is a full page made up of illustrutkns of foreign events of absorbing interest. A fancy-dress ball at the Metropolitan Opoiu House is splendidly illustrated.
