Mr. Barton will continue the business, and will always be prepared to fill orders for lumber and other building material. Under the caption of a "Neglected In? dustry,'.' we publish an interesting article this week on the first page of the Intelli? gences. It is in reference to a oanning factory, an enterprise that would pay in Anderton, and which we would like to see established here. Our young friend, R. M. Baker, is de? lighted that the World's Pair will be held in Chicago in 1892. He says he is going to get married that year, and will visit the Fair on his bridal tour. Now, girls, .don't go to courting him on the strength .of this, for he is already "mortgaged*" List of letters remaining in the post office for the week ending March 6, 1890: J. N.

Johns tone has returned home from Nashville, Tend., where he has been spending several months as a Professor in the Dental Department of Vanderbilt University. He has again opened bis office on the second floor, above J. M. Hubbard & Bro's. jewelry store, and is ready to serve bis friends at any time. Mr- W. B. McGruder has tendered hio resignation as Chief of the Anderson''Po? lice, and it has been accepted by the'City Council. His successor has not yet been elected. Mr. McGruder will devote his whole time to his .livery and sale stable" business. He has just recoivodl a fine lot of horses. See advertisement. Mr. J. H. Dawkins, who has been chief clerk at the Hotel Chlquola since its open? ing, has resigned the position and re? turned to bis home- in Columbia. Mr. E. H. Plummer, of Rome, Ga., is Mr. Daw- I kins' successor.

B. Arnstein, formerly of Anderson. It is very neatly gotten up, and is one of the best advertising schemes we have seen. Anderson should have something like It Mr. T. D. Hewin has about 1000 cords of pine wood for sale, which he will deliv? er at any time, and at any place in the city, out any length under eight feet. He will have a little box at the butcher shop of E. W. Taylor & Co., just above the Post office, where you can deposit your order and the wood will be delivered in a short time afterwards. ' Deputy Sheriff Green returned from Alabama last Monday having in charge a white man named Jas. Freeman, formerly of this County, who is charged with selling property on which he had given a mort? gage to J. E. Peoples. After selling the property. Freeman fled to Alabama, where he was arrested. He is in Jail, and will probably stay. there until the next term of Court. . Mr. J. A, Shauklin, who has been en? gaged in business in the. city with Mr. J E. Peoples for several months past, has returned to his home, Pendleton, and will engage in farming. Next fall he will re? turn to Anderson. Mr. Shauklin is a worthy young man, and has a host of friends in Anderson. The Intelligent- 1 cek joins his friends in wishing him'a big harvest from bis farm. Wm. P. Norrie, colored, died at his home near Mountain Creek Church last Monday, aft?r a short illness, aged 35 years, Wm. waB one of Anderson County's best colored citizens, and was highly esteemod by his white neighbors, as well as by those of his own race. He lived a sober, upright life, and, by his good management as a farmer, had bought and paid for a good tract of laud. He had long been a subscriber to the Intelligences. Col. J. W. Norris has laid upon our table some okra fibre. It is strong and some of the fibres are almost as long as the original stalk. It sooms to us that the fibre would make good, strong bagging, and we hope that the experiments now being made to manufacture it into bag? ging will be successful. It would prove a great blessing to the South, and inaugu? rate a new enterprise that would add thousands of dollars to our resources.. Now is the time to clean up your prem? ises, and put everything in order for the coming summer. Whitewash should be applied freely, and all places where filth has accumulated should be thoroughly cleansed and lime or other disinfectants used. The city authorities have the power not only to have the public streets and alleys policed, but the premises of private individuals as well. The earlier in the Spring this matter is attended to tho better it will be for the health of the city. Our good old friend, Mr. J. S. Gassaway, of Martin Township, came to see us the other day and renewed his subscription to the Intelligencer for another year, and, as he did so, remarked that he didn't owe a dollar in the world. Mr. Gassaway is one of our oldest and best citizens, and has made a success of farming. He has never been involved in a law trait, and has always been noted for his uprightness and integrity. He has about. reached his three score years and ten, and when he passes away his place will be bard to fill. A new sohedule went into effect on the Port Royal & Western Caroiina Railroad last Sunday, and now a through train is run from Greenville to Charleston without change, making the trip in twelve hours. From Anderson the trip is made in eleven hours. The morning train on the S. Y. R. R leaves Anderson now at 8 o'clock, mak? ing connection at McCormick with the through train from Greenville to Charles? ton. This same train returns to Anderson at 1.10 p. m. In the afternoon it leaves the city at 3.10, and at McCormick makes connection with the through train from Charleston to Greenville, arriving in An? derson at 8.15 p. m. Persons along the line may go to Augusta, spend three or four hours and return home the same day. This is, we believe, the best schedule that has yet been operated on the Rood, and I ' will be appreciated by the traveling public by a largely increased patronage. Capt. P. K. McCully's faithful New? foundland dog, "Nero," died a few days ago, aged about twelye years. "Nero" was a great favorite with' the boys, and when the firemen would come out on the streets to practice running, he would be delighted and would run with them. He would also go with the boys to school and at play time would enjoy the sports ap? parently as much as the boys who partic? ipated in them. Frequently ho would go to Capt. McCully's store, and when that gentlemen got ready to go home at night, would accompany him and carry the Captain's umbrella or dinner basket as carefully as an errand boy would do. Anderson can now boast of one of the best iron foundries in the Piedmont belt. Dr. R. F. Divver is the proprietor. He has spent a great deal of time and money in fitting up this enterprise, which Is now' completed and in operation. The first casting was made last Saturday in the presence of a considerable number of our citizens, most of whom witnessed for the first time the casting of iron. The Doctor has his Machine Shops and Foundry well equipped, and is able to supply, on short notice, all kinds of castings or machinery fresh from his own shops, made right here in Anderson. His is a home enter? prise, with a worthy proprietor. Call and see his fire-dogs and other, things he has made in Anderson. We are glad to note the completion of such an enterprise. . Two young men, Messrs. Sloan Mc Connell and Frank Bailey, became in? volved in a difficulty at Midway Church on Wednesday night of last week, and re? sulted in the latter shooting the former. The affray, it seems, was caused by some alleged action or conduct by Mr. McCon nell toward a young lady, a niece of Mr. Bailey. There had been a singing at the Church on the evening mentioned above, and, at the conclusion of the exer? cises Mr. Bailey approached Mr. McCon nell and spoke some words to him. The latter told him he would not have a row at the Church, and asked him to go off of the grounds with him. They then walked off together. In a few minutes mutual friends decided to follow the gentlemen, and, if possible, prevent a difficulty, but before they could get to them two pistol shots were heard. Hurrying to the scene of action, the friends found that Mr. Mo Connell had been shot in the stomach, and that Mr. Bailey was bleeding from a pain? ful wound in tho head. Mr. MoConnell was carried to his brother's home, and Dr. Duckett was at once sent for. When the Doctor reached the wounded man, he soon discovered that the wound was not a fatal one, as the ball had struck a rib and, glancing around the body, lodged near the spine. Mr. Bailey camo to the Sher? iff and offered to surrender. Onr latest information is that Mr. McConnell is doing well and will soon be out again. The affray is deeply regretted by the friends of both gentlemen. Tho following clipping from an ex? change is referred to Anderson's progress? ive citizens for consideration. We believe such an enterprise would pay in our growiug city: "While In conversation with a gentleman rwently, who is well posted in such matters, we asked him to name some manufacturing enterprise that could be started with a small outlay of capital, and he suggested a soap factory. The suggestion is a good one, and one our people ought, to adopt. Every year our people buy large quantities of soap from Northern manufacturers, when they could manufacture the same article just as well themselves, and not only keep the money paid for it at home, but afford a profit to those engaged in manufacturing it, increase home industrial activity and furnish employment for workmen. The cost of soap in one family is a mere trifle, but in the aggregate the amount paid for it in our County each year is quite large. Suppose a family pays ten dollars a year for soap, and there aro two hundred fami? lies in town, $2,000 goes out of the town every year that Bbould, by all means, stay at home. In such a town a soap fac? tory would be a paying investment, for it could command not only the local trade, but also considerable from the adjoining country. Almost any building that would ktep out the rain would do for a factory, and the outfi t would be compara? tively inexpensive. Cotton seed oil Is ad? mitted to be excellent for soap making better, indeed, than the mixture of putrid greases generally used for that purpose, and the other ingredients can be had in almost any Southern town." The Sullivan Manufacturing Company. Tuesday morning we paid a visit to the Sullivan Manufacturing Company's build? ings, which are located opposite the C. & G. depot, on Eait Boundary street, and must confess that we were agreeably sur? prised to find such an extensive plant in Operation. The Company began erecting their buildings a few weeks ago, and it was only a few days ago that our people realized that another important enterprise had been established in our growiug city The present main building is 50x65 feet with an "L" 25x45 feet, and from one end to the other all the latest improved wood working machinery, necessary for manu? facturing anything for bnilding purposes and used in making agricultural imple? ments, is being placed in position. Sev? eral of theso machines are now running, and are being worked to their full capacity. Mj. J. M. Smith is superintendent of the plant, and Mr. J. A. Brissy foreman. Both of these gentlemen are experienced and first-class workmen. At present the Company is working about fifteen hands, the majority of whom ara engaged in mak? ing guano distributors. The Company are behind with their orders, and if they had electric lights would work a night force of hands. The Company have met with so much encouragement that they have decided to enlarge their buildings and double their capacity in a short time. A 30-horse power engine is used in run? ning the machinery. The Company will keep on hand at all times a big lot of doors, Bash blinds, lum? ber, Bhingles, mouldings?in fact, anything needed in constructing a building. They will classify their lumber, and will sell it in its green state or dried and dressed. In a short time they will erect an immense and modern drying-kiln, and they also propose in a few months to manufacture doors, sash and blinds. For tho present they will buy the latter goods in car load lots, and will sell them at low prices. The Sullivan Manufacturing Company is composed of live, energetic business men, and they will make it to your in tereit, if you needing anything in their line, to come and see them. It is a home enterprise, and deserves the patronage of our people. a Card. Mb. EniToa: In behalf of my mother and family, I desire to return my sincere thanks to the friends and neighbors who so kindly administered to the comforts of my father, Peter B. Brown, during his long illness. I assure them that their many acts of kindness and attention will never be forgotten. P. H. Brown. A Paper Full of Pictubes.?About a dozen pictures illustrating the remarkable crusade by the women against the saloon? keepers of Missouri form a leading feature of Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper this week. Other illustrations show the disas? trous wreck of a Saengerfest train in Ala? bama, the Old Colonial Fair at Hartford, Logging Among the California Big Trees, Opening the Sioux Reservation, The Blue Grass Region of Iowa, the Siberian Wolf? hound, foreign scenes of interest, Children in the streets and on the stage, Distress in the Mining Regions, and a picture of Mrs General BlUtcrfiold. The Farmers' Meeting. A meeting of tho farmers and those in sympathy with the aims of that move? ment was held in the Court House last Monday. There was a pretty fair attend? ance, but not a large number participated in the proceedings, as was shown by the number of votes cast, which were sixty five. The meeting was called to order by Hon. R. P. Clinkscales, Vice-President, the President being absent. The President stated the object of the meeting to be the election of delegates to the Convention to be held in Columbia on 27th inst., to nominate a Stato ticket to be offered to the Stato Democratic Conven? tion. Mr- J. P. Smith was requested to act as Secretary. Hon. J. P. Glonn, aftor rcforring to the call for the State Convention, and the ob? jects of this meeting, moved that ton del? egates be elected to represent this County in the Convention to bo held ou the 27th inst. This motion was carried, and the ballot was taken. A motion to instruct the delegates to the Convention was car? ried. "While the tellers were out counting the votes, the following expressions of opin? ion as to whether tho Convention ought to make nominations : Mr. Morgan Pack said he was not. in favor of making nominations, because he thought he could see a disposition on the part of the leaders to push forward men and not.measures. Mr. M. Berry Williams opposed the nominations, bocause ho did not think it Democratic; this should be left. to the Democratic Convention. This called forth some enthusiastic replies. Mr. J. A. Bowden, said it was to be a fight inside the Democratic party. He said : "We do not intend for the Demo? cratic party to hold the whip over us." In referring to the press, he said in Bub stance: "The newspapers have heretofore generally advised us wrong, and I feel like opposing whatever line they advise. To assert is one thing, to demonstrate is another." Hon. J. B. Watson said it struck him as not best to make nominations, bnt he was not to advise, and would abide by the result, be it what it would. He was op? posed to the lien law, homestead and School Jaw, and wauted a new Constitu? tion to reach these and similar evils. Mr. Geo. W. Miller opposed the nomi? nations. Senator Murray, being called for, said he did not think it advisable for the Con? vention to nominate a ticket at this time. He made a strong and sensible speech, and one that seemed to be received favor? ably by the whole meeting. His remarks called forth frequent applause Mr. J. Belton Watson started to reply to Senator Murray, but the tellers came in with the result of the ballot for delegates, and he did not get to conclude. The following were the delegates elected: Messrs. A. C. Latimer, W. A. Nea!, D. K. Norris, D. W. Hiott, Joseph B. Douthit, J. W. Bowden, J. P. Glenn, B. I. Stewart, W. P. Snelgrove and A. N. Richardson. The meeting was harmonious, but there was evidenced once or twice a disposition to shut off discussion, and a determina? tion not to be advised. Holland's Store If.emi, On account of the high river last week our mail did not reach us when due. The rains in this immediate vicinity have not been very heavy. When the weather admits, putting in guano is the order. Our farmers are using it extensively. Our farmers generally are preparing their lands better than usual, owing, in a great measure, to the mild winter which we have had. Rev. C. Pressley is canvassing for some valuable books.-' If he calls on you, buy one of his books, and thus benefit your self and help a worthy man. W. A. Holland spent several days in this vicinity recently. He nov tips the beam at 230 pounds. Mr. Baylis Cooley recently shipped a car load of beeves to Charleston. The public schools in this Township closed last Friday. Mr. Willie Hodges, who has been at? tending College in Newark, N. 'J., for the past six or eight months, returned home a few days ago. He looks as if the North agrees with him. The snow on last Saturday night and Sunday was quite a surprise to most of us, as it was generally believed the win? ter was over. Burke. WUIlamston Items. The snow, "the beautiful snow," that peppered the turf on last Sunday morning was charmine to behold, and yet the word beautiful is inadequate to repress the con? templative joy of the "embryo man," but, alas, like everything bright and lovely it melted away. A petite man, of the decided brunette type, passed through here amid the splen? dor and brightness of the moon and stars one evening last woek. Be was playing in the role of tramp?his acting was good, though yet a novice, and his well-worded solicitation for "water and bread" was very effective, but he was never encored. He went Andersonward from here. Chicken thieves are "doing" the roosts around here. The music of the early bird is pleosaut to the ear after a rough night in the embrace of the grip. Miss Lilly Bigby has taken charge of the school formerly' taught by Mrs. Ver million, about six miles from town. A Mr. Wroton has opened a school of telegraphy here, and has several students some from abroad. Mr. Ben Brown has a neat little job printing office, and his work is tasty, and shows a decided and splendid talent for job work. Ben is a man "all over." Mrs. W. J. Bonner, of Due West, after a week's stay with Mrs. G. W. 8ullivan, re? ed home Monday. Mr. W. W. Griffin, our livery man, went to Greenville on Monday to look after "horse flesh." Will is a hustler, and bandies first class stock. His name has recently been associated with orange blos? soms?can't say more, but orange blooms would "grace" his domicile beautifully. As the faco of "Uncle Billy" Smith Bhowed itself from the platform of one of the cars in his train on its arrival here on Monday morning, many expressions of gladness were heard at his recovery from his recent indisposition Miss Ella Stephens, one of our most worthy young ladies, wont to Anderson Monday afternoon. Mr. W. A. Stephens has gone on a pros? pecting trip to Alabama. Mr. Ed. Acker, a Williamston boy, after railroading down the Mississippi from Yicksburg to New Orleans for several months, has returned to the A. and C. division of the R. and D., his "first love.". Professor Vermillion, of the male school, is now assisted by hi3 wife. The school is flourishing. The music of wedding bells oame float? ing upon the perfumed breath of Spring. Prof* Roybill, the elocutionist, is com? ing and will instruct a class in the Female College. Several of our citizens are in the grip of the Russian influenza, and yet our fair land is threatened with another malady called "la nonna." It is described as a lethargic sleep. What next ? The many friends of Mr. Henry Wil? liams were delighted to hear of his promo? tion. Henry is a former Williamston boy, and of course, his success is pleasing to those who knew him in "Anld Lang Syne." The big rain put a roaring bosom on our "little" Big Creek. Dr. Lander and bis baby boy, Ernest, went to Greenville last week to see the wonderful horse show. The Ladies Missionary Society of the Baptist Church will soon celebrate its tenth anniversary. 0:i the occasion of this event Miss Eula Crymes will read an essay, written by herself, on the progress of the organization. Miss Kose Greer will furnish the music for the occasion. There are other features of the programme, but not being familiar I'li desist from further mention. Rev. D. W. Hiott's name for the Senate a is good oue?such men in our legislative halls will soon give a new growth to issues that certainly must some day de? velop into living laws. -J ,Tra-la-la, "Springtime has come again, gentle Anna." E. H. P. Notes from Townville. Sunday night was decidedly the coldest of the season. Rev. J. Walter Dlckson is expected to deliver an address before the Townville Literary Club on next Friday n.'s;ht, the 7th. The first Quarterly Conference for Townville Circuit for this year will be held at Jones' School, near Fair Play, next Saturday and 8unday. . School Commissioner Russell has been on a tour of inspection among the schools of the Fork, and we trust he found them in a satisfactory condition. Mr. Russell is certainly a zealous official. We are pained to chronicle the protract? ed illness of Mrs. Harvey C. Routh. She is an estimable lady, the daughter of the lale Rev. E. F. Hyde, and her many friends here and elsewhere hope for her a speedy restoration to health. Mrs. Noah W. Grant, who has been so seriously sick for some time, is somewhat improved, we are glad to say. Dr. Sam. Bruce went into the hill coun? try of Oconee last week, and brought off in proud triumph his bonny bride. Ooo nee's' impoverishment is Townville's en richment, to say nothing of the Doctor's immense gain. Mrs. Jarrard, wife of L. L. Jarrard, Esq., of Fair Play, died suddenly last Friday. Until a few hours of her death she was in her wonted health. The blow falls crush ingly upon the fond husband and bright little children. She was a devout Christian, and was a member of Jones' Chapel. She was a native of White County, Georgia, and was a Miss England. Mr. Tom Kelley, of Tomassee, Oconee County, greeted hiu many friends here for a day or so last week. Tom is one of the best young men in Oconee. *2 Honea Path Items.

The Quarterly Conference will meet here* on Saturday before- the 3rd Sunday. Mr. M. L Brock has sold about one hundred buggies and carts the last few months. He has just received a large ad? dition to his stock, and is determined to sell at the very lowest figures. Prof. ?. H Self has just closed a writing school at this place. He has had a large class, and they express themselves as much pleased with the faithful and effi? cient work he has done. Mr. C. E. Harper has brought in an? other lot of mules and horses. We won? der what has become of the stock that was in the country before, that so many are being sold now. Don't forget the Concert Friday night, 7th inst. P. Corner Dots. The seml-auuual examination of Mof fattsville Academy occurred last Friday. The weather was very bad in the morn? ing, and a very small crowd was present. It was highly praised by all who were there, which is a sufficient reason that it should be mentioned. The pupils did their part well, which was indeed credita? ble to both pupils and teachers.
