Capt. Ed. Motte's train, from Newberry 'to Anderson has been named the "cannon ball express." It makes the best time of any train on the road.

Lovejoy, prominent members of the Alliance, are spending a few days at the Hotel Chiquola.

' A correspondent of the Cotton Plant proposes to be one of one hundred to offer a premium of $500 for the best acre of cot? ton in the State. If this amount should be raised as suggested, it is quite probable that the State Department of Agriculture would put np a similar prize, as in the case of the great corn contest of last year. Prof. E. M. Bean, of Charleston, is now teaching penmanship in the city. He has a class in the P. M. I., and also one at the Keese House.

Savannah's Gala Week begins on the 28th inst., and the occasion promises to be an interesting one. The P. R. & W. C. R. R. will have round trip tickets on sale April 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th, good to re? turn until May 5tb. The fare from An* derson is only $4.70 for tho round trip. This is the most pleasant season of the year to visit Savannah, which is one of the prettiest cities on the Atlantic Coast. A telegram was received last Saturday evening by Col. E. M. Rucker from his son James, who lives in Elbeit County, Ga , stating that he had accidentally shot himself. The shot was_ from a repeating Winchester rille, and took effect just over the heart. However, it was a glancing shot, only burying the ball, and passing out again without doing very serious damage. Mr. Rucker is doing well, and will soon be well again. Our Assistant Editor, Mr. Wardlaw, spent a couple of days last week in Rock Mills Township, tho guest of Mr. John Shearer. Rock Mills is a good commu- . nity, and has some first-class farmers in it. Mr. Shearer has a large farm, which ? he understands how to manage first rate. He was busy last week planting cotton, having his land well-prepared. Wo were also very favorably impressed with Mr. C. B. Giltner's farm. Most of his cotton crop was planted last week, and his farm is in as fine fix as any we have seen. Mr. Jones also has a model farm, Just beyond Roberts' Church, which is run on the most modern and improved plans. Miss Clary Moorehead died at her home, three and one-half miles north of this city, on Thursday, 10th inst. Miss Moore? head was abont 85 years of age, and was a daughter of the late John Moorehead. She was born, reared and always resided on the plantation where she died, and was highly esteemed by her friends and neighbors. She was a good, Christian woman, and was ever ready to help the needy and distress? ed. At her own request, her remains were interred on her plantation by the side of her biother, who died a number of years ago. She leaves one sister, who lives in Foray the County, Ga., and a num? ber of relatives in this County to mourn her death. Last week we mentioned 'the unfortir nate accident at Piedmont, which caused the death of the little son of Mr. John P. King. The verdict of the Coroner's Jury was that the little fellow "came to his death from a gunshot wound by the care? less handling of a pistol by James H. Simpson, Jr.," which of course will cause that gentleman to stand a trial in the Cir? cuit Court. Mr. Simpson was in the city last Saturday, and gave a bond of $300 for his appearanco at the next term of Court. Ho was accompauied by Mr. King, the little boy's father, who is satisfied that the sad occurrence was an accident, and ia anxious to have the prosecution stop? ped. The case will cost the County at least one hundred doflai-s, and Mr. Simp? son will be acquitted. Our Lebanon correspondent mentions the suicide of Mr. E. D. Cason, in Garvin Township.'which took place last Saturday night. He was about 35 years of age, and was thought well of by his neighbors. He was charged with a crime in Georgia, and his trial was set for last Monday. Since his arrest he had been very despondent, and he had told some of his friends that he would die before ho would bo placed in tbo Georgia chain gang. Ho visited Pendleton on Saturday, and froiu there went to see his wife and children, who were visiting relatives in the neighbor- , hood. Leaving them that night about 11 o'clock, he returned to his home and was found hanging from a limb of a treo in his yard next morning. All tho circum? stances show that the act was premedita? ted. Another Convention of Farmers is call? ed to meet in Columbia at Agricultural Hall, April 23rd, 12 o'clock M. We trust Anderson County will be represented in this Convention as it was in tho other Convention, Wo furthor hope that the action of this anti-Tillman Convention will bo actuated by pure patriotism, and thut they will do nothing through person? al prejudice. Our desire is to learn what tho people want, and whom they want. Tho Southern Christian Advocate, of last week, says: "We hear good things from the Greenville Diotrict. The Presiding Elder has mado himself felt in the Pied? mont section By tho way, it has come to our cars that Brother D. has laid aside his pipe and tobacco. 'The sun do move,' for sure." Yes, Bro. Kirkland, Mr. Dickson i3 doing n good work in this section. He is a live, energetic Elder, and is not only popular with his own Chuich, but num? bers his friends by the score in every other denomination. Such a man never fails to make "himself felt." The Greenville News, of Tuesday, says : "A meeting of the full board of Trustoes of tho Clemson Agricultural College, of South Carolina has been called to be held at Pendleton next Thursday, the 17th inst. The meetiug will be a highly impor? tant one. It has been called in view of tho recont decision of the United States Supreme Court sustaining the Clemson will, and it will bo called upon to take the first active steps towards actually carrying out the Act of the Legislature establishing the college. The plans for the college buildings, already prepared by the Exe? cutive Committee, will be considered and acted on, and the report of the committee on curriculum will be up for considera? tion." Lester Morris, a young white man, was committed to jail last Monday by Trial Justice Yeargiu, of Corner Township, in default of a bond of ?500. Morris has been working for Mr. T. C. Watt, in Hall Township, and is charged with two crimes ?assault of an high and aggravated na? ture and cruelty to animals, It is charged that he beat a mule nearly to death and tried to hang it, and when Mr. Watt rebuked him for his cruelty he assaulted that gentleman. Morris was arrested at tho home of his mother in this city by Deputy Sheriff Green. He has the reputation of being a bad charac? ter, and this case will probably prove to him that tho wuy of the trangressor is hard. The Annual State Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association has just been held at Orangeburg, and the Bession throughout was full of interest. Anderson was not represented in the Con? vention, as tho Association here has passed out of existence. This should not bo the case. Anderson is a live town, and should have a live Association. Great good could bo accomplished here through the work of the Association, and it is an organization that every Christian should feel an interest in. Wo would like to see some steps ta? ken to reorgunizo the work hero. We feel confident our noble women would take an interest in the work and lend their assis? tants to any effort that w.ould be mado to gel an Association firmly established here. A !?olid und special train will run through from Atlanta, Ga , to Fort Worth, Texas, passing through Montgomery, Mo? bile, Now Orleans aud Houston, leaving Atlanta on Tuesday, May Gth, 9.50 p. m., affording connections for linesycentering there, and arriving at Fort Worth Thurs? day, Maj' 8tb, at 10 a. tri.

The proceeds of tho entertainment will be used in furnishing tho stage and in purchasing costumes, etc., for tho Dramatic Association. What Do You Think of This? Anderson has long had the reputation of being one of the leading markets in the State, but few of our citizens have ever realized the amount of merchandise that is shipped here over tho railroads during a season. Through the kindness of Col. J. W. Tjowbridgc, one of Anderson's mer? chandise brokers, we are able to present to our readers this week a statement that will give some idea of the business transacted in our city during the six months ending April 1st inst. The statement has been made up from the hooks of both the rail? roads entering Auderson, and the approxi? mated value has been calculated upon a very low average. This is the statement, with the approxi? mated value of each article enumerated : 10,755 barrels of fiour.$ 71.200 805,000 pounds of bacon..,,,..,. 44,275 88 ca.s of grain, hay, bran... 30,800 957 barrels of molasses. 1G.747 20 cars of salt. 2,210 11 car* of coal. 1,200 12 cars of bagging. 12,000 3,810 bundles of iron ties. 4,250 34 cars of lime, brick, cement. 3,400 200 cars of lumber. 10,000 3,<J05 tons of fertilizers. 79,310 480 barrels of kerosene oll.,..,, 2,700 1,100 buggies, wagons, etc. GG,000 1,500 horses and mules. 187,500 800 hogs. 11,200 ' 213 sewing machines. 5,325 9G organs and pianos. 10,000 Total.$504,183 Besides tho above, thero were 2,010,100 pounds of miscellaneous freights, inclu? ding dry goods, boots, shoes, hats, clothing, fancy groceries, hardware, furniture aud other articles of merchandise not classified above, shipped to Anderson during the same period. In point of valuo these arti? cles would amount to as much, if not more, than the total of the above state? ment. During the same period there havo also been received here thirty cars of ma? chinery, tho greater portion of which was shipped to tho Cotton Mills, During this season about 23,000 balos of cotton have been sold in this market. At an average of $47.50 u balo this would make $1,002,500 paid out by our business men for cotton. This is certainly a lair showing, and we are persuaded that no lowu or city in tho State, outside of Charleston, can eijunl ih Honoa Path Items. Rev. M. McGoe lias been quite sick for several days, but wo bopo will soon be able to'be out again. Dr. Campbell and wile, of Belton, have been visiting friends and relatives in town. Mr. N. M. Greer is putting up a nice residence. Mr. M. L. Latimer has had pneumonia, but we are glad to say he is improving. Miss Rosa Greor, of Williamston, spent Saturday and Sunday in town. Rev. D. W. Hiotfc preached to a large congregation in the Baptist Church last Sunday. A collection was taken up for Ministerial Education amounting to fif? teen dollars. . Mr. S. L. Burts has been on a trip to Anderson and Greenville. Several from Honea Path speak of at? tending the Southern Baptist Convention at Fort Worth, Texas. Messrs. E. B. Razor, of Donnalds, and Mills Richardson, of Piedmont, entered tho High School last Monday. Miss'Etta McGee has been on a visit to her parents in Abbevillo County. Col. McCullough and wife, of Green? ville County, have been visiting Mrs. Stepp. Prof. Rayhill attended Church here last Sunday. He read before the Methodist Sunday School in the afternoon. We notice that the citizens of William? ston aro making an effort to have the Bap? tist State Orphanage located in that town. We trust they will succeed, for we know of noplace in the State better suited for the location of such an institution. Tho delightful climate, the health-giving wa? ter, the social, moral and religious charac? ter of her people, make Willlamston just the placo that we would select for the Or? phanage. What say others ? Dr James Wilson, Dentist, has located in Honea Path for the practice of bis pro? fession. He is well and favorably known to our people already, being a son of Dr. John Wilson, of Williamston. He has tho reputation of being ono of the best prepared of the many graduates sent out by the Baltimore Dental College. He can be found over Milford, Callaham & Co's. store. If you wish any work in his line well done, don't go to some other town, but come to Honea Path. Finley & Shirley have let their U. S. License expire and do not keep any liquor at all. So many strong, healthy men would apply for prescriptions that it was a sourco of constant annoyance, and they resolved not to keep auy liquor. We would that other druggists would como to the same conclusion, for wo know that none can have poaco of conscience while selling liquor against tho law of the land, and especially against the law oj God. P. Flat Rock Items. Mr. S. H. Stone is now quito ill, and has been for several days. Mr. W. A. McFarland killed a mad dog last Sunday morning. Mrs. S. P. T?te has been quite sick dur? ing the past two weeks, but we aro glad to know she is better. Mr. Pat. Haynie has been blessed re? cently with a fine girl baby. Mr. Haynie wears a broad smile. Remember this is his first born. Farmers are through planting their upland corn, and are planting cotton. Mr. Lawrence Chamblee is the proud? est walking man we have seen. Well, its a boy. Don't forget this is his soyenth son. There is a young man in this neighbor? hood who seems very much attracted to Honea Path. Wo veuturo to say he has a sweetheart near there, and if sho wins the young gontloman, all right. Mr. Charley Mill'ord, who was severely hurt recently on the S. V. R. R., improves very slow. Miss Minnie and Cola Winters, of Ru hainah, aro in this community visiting their aunt, Mrs. Jauie Webb, and other relatives. Mr. J. M. Stevenson, our young and prosperous bachelor, is now erecting a new dwelling house on his place. He says when bis dwelling is completed he expects to marry some man's daughter. What girl it will be, we are not prepared to say. Rev. B. Hays has improved his dwell? ing house by having it re-weatherboarded and painted. The colored people of Mt. Moriah Church have built a new house of worship. The Baptist Church at this place has been completed, and, since it has been painted, isu beautiful building which the Church and community should be proud. Last Sunday was a lovely day and Rev. T. H. Garrett preached quite an instruct? ive sermon. Before services the Sunday School was honored by a speech from the above named gentleman. On next second Sunday the new Bap? tist Church at this place will be dedicated by Dr. Manly, of Greenville. Spring has como at last with ull of its lovoliuess. The orchards are decorated with blossoms aud tho forest is putting on her silver crown. The cooing of the dove can also be heard. How pleasant and yet bow sad, when we remember how many of our friends and neighbors that were with us this time last ye^r but now sleep the long sleep of death. Sad, indeed. We belieyo that it is generally admitted that Mr. J. A. Hall has the finest grand? son in this community. Flat. Lebanon Items. One of the mo&t saddening things that has occurred in our community happened last Sunday morning. We say ouraom inunity,"for it is not more than three miles out of the immediate neighborhood, and than the subject used to hn one of the in? mates of our house. Mr. E. D. Cason committed suicide by hanging himself to a limb of a tree in his own yard. Oh, what a pang thrilled our inmost soul when we heard it. He had been arrested a week ago for some offence against the laws of Georgia, committed last Christmas, and carried to Cleveland, Ga., and was out on bond. He was to be triod Monday, 14th iust., but not being willing that his bondsmen should suffer, or to risk the con? sequences of the Courts, he decided to take his own life. It is generally believed thai, ho was led into the disgracoful act, while under the inlluence of whiskey,-of commit? ting the offence against the law of Georgia. We learn that he was perfuctlly sober be? fore his suicide. He leaves a wife and three little gid children, He was a blacksmith by trado. One of our oldest citizens, Mrs. Maria Watson, died a few days siuec. She was ninety-one years of age. But few people live to see tboir fourth generation as she has. She was the mother of fourteen children, sixty-eight grand children, two hundred and sixteen great grand children, and threegre.it great grandchildren, mak? ing a total of three hu u'dred and one of her own posterity that lived to see her. Quite unusual, is it not? Our farmers are moving right along. Sr>me arc about done planting cotton, while all have some planted. Corn is com? ing up. Wheat and oats are looking better than a few weeks ago. Prof. Holland's School is all that he can attend to, as Miss Rosa Millford's time is up, but he proves equal to the demands. He is speaking of going to the Southern Baptist Oouveutton, and from thoro to the National Normal school for ten months. Mrs. Dr. Duckworth will attend the Convention, and spend a few months with relatives in Texas. Wc wish her a safe and pleasant trip. Her liUle daughter and Nona Brea*ealo will go with her, We had quite a pleasant session of the Union Meeting held with our church last fifth Sabbath. We do not sec why these meetings are not more generally attended. It holds its nest sosyion with Flat Rock in June. Dr. Duckworth is quire busy now. La Grippe exists, and its effects is the general malady. W. Corner Dots. Mr, J. W. Holloman, Treasurer of Oco nee County, while on his way to Lowndes ville to attend Presbytery, visited his daughter, Miss Kate, who is the assistant in the Mollattsville Acadomy. Rov. C. Pressley left last week lor Troy to attend the meeting of Presbytery of the Associate Reformed Church. Mr. W. M. Sberard, of Anderson, who has been ill for a few days, came home to rest. Rev. T. C. Ligon preached at Good Hope last Sunday, Key. R. C. Ligon being absent. The itch ha3 gone and the grip is fash? ionable among the nogroea, but thu "white folks" have tho dengue. Who knows what wo will have next? Puek. A New and Important Enterprise. It may not be yet generally known, but it is nevertheless (rue, that tho Sullivan ifaiui facturiiuj Conipahj carry now Qn their yard over 10? car loads of lumber of ull shapes and sizes, dressed or undressed, groen or dry. Also, shingles, molding, scroll and turnod work, door.n, sash, blinds, Ac., in fact everything in tho building line. Thia is a new plant throughout.

He is ac? quainted with the wants of the people, and will do all in bis power to merit a liberal patronage This Company is prepared to contract fin-building, and furnish osti matos on any kind of work in their line. Bargains to bo had in 1?J Stoves. Part cash and balance until fall, :J!M PKOI'LKS & BURBLS8. Flvo Forks Items. _ April 17th 1890. Mr, Editor.: A typographical error oc? curred in ray last communication which has subjected me to severe criticism. The types made me say that the month of February, 1890, contained fivo Sundays, but my pen said the month of Februar;/, 1880, contained five Sundays, and I asked some of my brother correspondents to state through the Intelligencer when it would occur again. I am truly sorry the error was committed, as I was anxious to see-tbo solution. I hope your readors will excuse the mistake, and that some one will solvo the problem and give it pub? licity. I presume it was a mistake of the devil, and while I havo always been in favor'of giving the devil his due, I at the same time think he should so conduct himself as to merit all he claims. The Jirst person giving a correct answer to the above problem will be invited to my mansion, at the proper season, to assist in demolishing watermelons. The health of our community is still improving, so you can visit us, Mr. Edi? tor, with impunity if you wish. If you come up this way and wish to seo farm? ing done scientifically, go to the farm of Richardson Bros. If there are any far? mers in our section who make no mis? takes, Mathias and Newt, are the boys. Then, again, if you wish to visit the finest flowers and most beautiful shrubbery call on Mrs. Margaret Mott. It is really a treat to go into her flower yard. There it is that the young folks resort to on Sun? days for their boquet3. Again, if you want to see the finest poultry and the sweetest habe in our "burg," call on Mrs. Julia Wakefield, but if you want to see the handsomest man Rt Five Forks, call on vour humble servant. Well, we have had a week or more of the windiest weather I ever saw. In fact, it has been vory near all wind. Cotton planting has begun. It is hard to tell who is ahead. I think, however, the issiue lies between "long Jim" and the P. M. If the weather would be favorable for two weeks most, if not all, up land planting would be done. It is surprising to see how fast the farmers have gained on their work for the last seven or eight days. It seems that every available moment' of time has been used to advan? tage. 1 am glad to state that Mrs. John Gam brell, who has been seriously ill with grippe and pneumonia for five weeks past, is on the mend. Mr. E. M. Watson, one of Five Forks' | most esteemed and useful citizens, has been lying quite sick at his son-in law's, Thos. Bolt, for several weeks. We are glad to learn he is on the mend, and hope to welcome him back in our midst in a short time. If the epidemic would cease, and the wind would moderate, and we could have just a little now and then, wo would pull through all right. But, oh ! deliver us From grippe, pneumonia and cyclones, From blizzards, and from Samuel Jones. Shanks. The Townvlllc Alliance Dinloraos Air. Till man. Townville, S. C. April 14th, 1890. Editors Intelligencer : I send you tho following which you will please have the kindness to publish : The Townville Alliance, which has a membership of over one hundred, held its regular mooting at Townville on the 12th inst., and adopted tho following pre? amble and resolutions without a dissent? ing voice: Whereas, individual opinions, pur? porting to reflect the sentiment of this community, have been published through certain channels to the effect that the "farmers' movement" had neither support nor sympathy in this section of the coun? try ; whereas, no cause should be made to suffer from sheer misrepresentation ;!and, whereas, members of Townville Alliance constitute a large majority of the voting population of this community. There? fore, bo it Resolved, That we express ourselves thus publicly as being in full sympathy with the farmers' movement. Resolved, That wo heartily endorse the nomination of B. R. Tillman for Governor of South Carolina. Resolved, That we labor persistently for representation and reform ; and fearing no political disaster at present, we utterly disregaid the newspaper alarm; and, hence, will not be longer defeated in our purpose by the eternal cry of wolf! wolf! when there is no wolf. Resolved, further, That we endorse the Sub-Treasury Bill as introduced by Sena? tor Vance, of North Carolina, believing that if it should become a law that it would afford relief to tho entire debt-bur? dened country. Resolved, further, also, That we pledge ourselves anew to the oxclusive use of cot? ton bagging for wrapping our cotton crop of 1890. Resolved, That the Secretary be instruct? ed to furnish a copy of those resolutions to the Cotton Plant, Anderson Intelligences and the Anderson Journal for publication. H. J. Trirble, Secrotary. Killers' and Deacon** .Meeting;, Mr. Editor:.The Piedmont Confer? ence of Elders and Beacons convened in the Presbyterian Church at Central Fri? day, April 4th. We were in Bession two days. The Conference, while it was uot very largely attended, was in some re speots the most interesting meeting yet hold. The Rev. J. T. Marion, of Seneca City, preached a most excellent sermon from Acts: 20th chapter; 17th and 18th verseH. On Friday night we had on in? teresting prayer meeting, during which was held a free Conference on the state of religion. One noticeable feature at the prayer meeting, and during the whole of tho proceedings both Friday and Satur? day, was the interest manifested by the officers of other denominations, some of whom participated in tho discussions, which added greatly to the interest of the occasion. The following officers were were re elected: J. P. Glenn, of Anderson, Presi? dent, and W. C. Smith, Secretary. A new Executive Committee was appoiuted with J. E. Boges, of Bickens, as Chairman. This Committee was Instructed through Br. Riley and the Rev. J. P. Marion to make arrangements to bold our Summer meeting witli the Oconeo Conference of EUors and Beacons at Seneca City, in Au? gust next. W. E. Bellotte, Secretary and Treasurer. To Poultry Lovers. Mn. Editor: I havo thought for some time that it would be to the iuterest of the poultry business for all competitors of Anderson and adjoining Counties to meet and organ'ze themselves into an Associa? tion to meet, at least, once a year. This, I know, would advance the interest of the few breeders wo now have, and bring many men into the field of this not only pleasant, but instructive art. By this or? ganization, we could get the experience of each other as to the most profitable and practical way of furthering the enterprise. I trust all who feel an interest in this moat laudable cause will think over it and take measures, at an early day, to institute an organization. Very Respectfully, J. L. Snipes. The Pulpit aud the Strange. - Rev. F. M. Shrout, Pastor United Breth ron Church, Blue Mound, Kan., says: "I feel it my duty to tell what wonders Dr. King's New Discovery has done for me. My Lungs were badly diseased, and my parishioners thought I could livo only a few weeks. I took live bottles of Dr. Ring's Now Discovery and am sound and well, gaining twenty-six pounds in weight." Arthur Love, Manager Love's Funny Folks Combination, writes: "After a thorough trial and convincing evidence, I am confident.
