Dr. Durham, colored, of Columbia, delivered an address in the colored Bap- j tist Church, this city, on the "Negro Problem."

Mr. Charlie Barrett, of Rock.Mills, came near having a serious runaway on Saturday last. His mule took fright at a goat drawing a wagon. It did not like the looks of the tricycles, but it could not' stand the looks of tho goat at all. Wou.'d it not be well for the Council to prohibit the driving of goat wagons on the streets? A little G-year-old son of Mr. Fisher, who lives on Col. R. B. A. Robinson's plantation, in Martin Township, was kicked in the stomach by a mule last Fri? day, and for awhile it was thought he was fatally injured. Dr. J. P. Waldrep attended the little fellow, who, at last ac? counts, was doing as well as could be ex? pected. The New York Comedy Company is now filling a series of engagements at the Opera House, and on Monday and Tues? day nights played to crowded houses.

Zachary, lBt Vice-Presi? dent; John L. McLin, 2nd Yice-Presi denfc; W. J. Mays, Recording Secretary; J, T. Barnett, Corresponding Secretary. The platform of the March Convention was unanimously adopted. The Seneca Free Press says : "Mr. J. C. Stribbling, of Pendleton, is succeeding finely with with, bis creamery. He has one Jersey, bought of Mr. Jordan of this place, which gives two pounds of butter dally. Mr. Stribbling is thoroughly posted on cattle and horses, and giv03 stock his personal attention. He is as careful about the feod of his cows as a good housekeeper is about what appears I on her table. Messrs. Thomas Owens and Thomas Richie were the victims on Wednes? day, of last week, of a very painful and serious accidont. They were blasting some rock out of the creek at Mr. Jepbtba Watkins' mill, and while packing the powder it ignited and burst, burning and otherwise injuring both parties. It is possible that they may both lese their eyesight. Dr. John G. Duckworth dressed their wounds, and amputated one finger for one of them. The annual meeting of tho stockholders of the P.

Morgan, of Broadway Township, was bit ton on the left leg by a highland moccasin, while standing in the shuck house with his father, last Saturday evening about dark. As soon as the little fellow was bitten he began crying, and it was some time before his father found out the cause. The snake was found arid killed, and the little fellow dosed on whiskey. His leg began to swell rapidly, and on Monday the swelling bad not gone down. The attending physician does not apprehend any serious results from the bite. Some of our young readers may like to try the experiment of making a bang? ing garden of a sponge. Take a white sponge of large size, and sow it full of rice, hemp, canary, and other seeds; thon place it in a shallow dish, in which a little water is constantly kept, and as the sponge will absorb the moisture, the seed will begin to sprout. When this has taken place, the sponge may be suspended by cords and bung where a little sunshine will enter. It will thus become a mass of green foliage, and should be refreshed with water daily so as to be kept moist. As the long, hot days of the summer season approach and the dullness of busi? ness makes time bang heavy on our bands, it is well for our merchants to con? sider the early olosing movement. The same arguments which have been ad? vanced for a number of years, and which have been proven correct, bold good. It is better for both employer and employee to have some recreation from their labors, particularly when it does not interfere with business, and we trust our merchants will again take the matter in hand and make the move in the general closing of the stores at G o'clock during tho summer. At the opening of the now Opera House last Friday evoning the Anderson Dra? matic Association was greeted by a vory large and appreciative audience, both the first floor and gallery being nlled al? most to its full seating capacity, / The play, *'A Soldier of Fortune," was com? posed of five Acts, and from the begin? ning to the close the large audience seemed deeply interested. The various characters were well sustained, and the participants have been highly compli? mented upon thoir stage talent. The mu? sic for the oveninp was furnished by Mrs. Richey on the piano, Mr. j". W. 'Prow bridge on the cornet, and Mr. J. H, Vou Hasseln on the violin, and it added much to the success of the occasion. The beau? tiful scenery was greatly admired by the audience, and every one is justly proud of our Opera House. A few days ago we received a neat invi? tation card bearing tho following an? nouncement: "Mrs. Lucy Y. Hooper de? sires your presence at the marriage cero mony of her daughter, Callie, aud James R. Moorehoad, Wednesday evening, April 30, at 8.30 o'clock, iu Graco Episcopal Church, Oeala, Fla." Mr. Moorehead, though for a long time a resident of Ocala, is an Anderson County boy, and has many iriends in this section who will join the IktelUQEXcKK in extending con? gratulations, and wishing for him and his brido many years of happiness nnd pros? perity.

They gave their names as Henry and Timmie Robinson, aged respectively 12 and 7 yeaib, and seemed to be bright little fel? lows. They were from Anderson, S. C, and were en route to Banks County, where their grandmother lives. They told a pitiful tale. After serving a term in the penitentiary their father returned home, and tilling up on mean liquor beat his wife unmercifully, and drove her from home. He then beat the children, kicked them out and told them to leave. Having broken up his home he left also. The little boys knew nothing of the whereabouts of either of their parents, and having no shelter, and almost starv? ing,- started on tho long tramp to their grandmother's. When they reached, this place they were almost exhausted, but our citizens, with their usual generosity, filled their pockets with eatables and dimes, and the youngsters trudged on to? ward their destination." Greenville News: "A day or two ago an elderly man of rather seedy appearance, a pronounced peculiarity in his left eye and scant baggage, registered at the Exchange Hotel as "J. H. Barnes, Baltimore." For some reason Captain White suspected the stranger and kept watch on him. His sus? picions were confirmed yesterday morn? ing when he found his guest at the C. & G. depot with his ticket purchased and ready to get on the train. "Mr. Barnes" had neglected the little formality usual with guests on leaving a hotel, that of paying the bill. With the assistance of Policeman Martin, Captain White suc? ceeded in inducing the man to pay bis bill and be waa allowed to go. His only ex? cuse for bis attempt to dodge was that lie was "short" and expected to get remit? tances at Anderson. It appears that the man was selling patterns and made sev? eral calls on dress-makers in the city. Several of those whom he favored with calls, recognized him as a man who passed this way three or four years ago and swin dled several dress-makers by getting small advances on patterns which never came. Apparently the fellow is a fraud and de? serves to be "passed along." Belton Items. Since Saturday few farmers have shown themselves on "the streets here. Plenty of work, full of substantial pioraises, is claiming their attention. Tho Stockholders at tho special meeting last Friday ratified tho action of the Di? rectors of the Coiton Seed Oil Mill iu re? gard to the purchase of Rice Bros.' Mill. TUu President, A. C.

Satur? day's sunshine will increase the joy of many lovers of such occasions. A pleasant sociable was largely attended by the young folks last Friday night at the residence of Mr. A. R.

Vandiver is visiting her sis? ter, Mrs. Geer, The Misses Gossett, proprietors of Bel ton's "Chiquola,"' aro peculiarly pleased with some recent arrivals, Mrs. T. J.

Cox, a former student of the Honea Path High Sbhool, is attending Perry's Business School in Greenville. Ulies was a good student here, and we ex? pect to hear of his taking a high stand in his class at Greenville. We learn that on last Sabbath Mr. Harry Cumming's horse ran away and threw him and his wife out of the buggy, breaking his arm and injuring him severely in other ways. His wife also was painfully injured. We trust that neither of them is seriously hurt, but have not been able to find out yet. They have the sympathy of their many friends in Honoa Path. Mr. W. M.

I assure each and -very qne of them that their kindness will never be forgotten, L. T. Holland. An Old Landmark. Mr. Emtoi: : In passing through the County this winter we had occasion to go by the old Rice graveyard, in. Martin Township, and never having seen it be? fore we dismounted and spent a half hour looking ovor tho inscriptions on its tomb? stones. This graveyard is one of the land? marks of this County, and within its pre? cincts lie buried some people whose names were household words in this County less than a half century ago, and whose descendants and relatives can be counted almost by the hundreds. The first person buried here was Levi Clink scale?, whose grave occupies a central position, and is solidly walled up with rock. Between this and the road we found the names of Joseph and Ann Clark, the former born in 1750 and died in 18-15, and the latter born in 1770 and died .in 1853. These were uncle and aunt, if we have been correctly iuformed, of Rev. A. Rice, mentioned below, and also of Maj. Jame3 Thompson, now living at Lee's Shoals, in this County. Not far away wo find the graves of Hezakiah Rico, born in 17G* and died iu 18G0, and Polly Rico, born in 1709 and died in 1857. These were father and mother of Rev. A. Rice, and just near them lie the bodios of Rev. A. Rice and his wife, Sally T. Rice, tho former born in 1798, and died in 1878, the latter tho date of birth not given, but the death is stated to bo iu 1808. What an eventfnl period in the history of our country and of the world is covered in the course of these lives. Joseph and Ann Clark wore born British subjects,, and at j the time of tho birth of Joseph Clark France and England were engaged in that mighty struggle for supremacy on the ocean and on the American continent, and at his death he was a sovereign citi? zen of the greatest republic of modern times. What memories crowded upon us as we stood by the grave of tho Rev. A. Rico. His name and his form are among our earliest recollections, and he was a warm personal friend and frequent visitor of our grand-father's. And what a warm, tender and true tnau he was, the fountain of whose tears did not lie deeper than his eyelids. And what a heritage he has left in his good name for his many relations scattered almost everywhere in the lower part of the County and in tho distant West. There is a mournful pleasure in standing in such sacred spots and holding com? munion with the honored and the sainted dead. It gires us fresh courage to emu? late their example, and fresh inspiration for the duties of life. D. H. R. Holland's Store Items. Mr. Thos. J. Holland has added much to the appearance of his store by giving it a coat of white wash. Mr. S. A. Jones has recently repainted his residence. We spent a very pleasant hour one day last wetk with Mr. G. L. Stevenson. He is- nearing his four score and ten, and with his aged wife and daughter occupies the bouse that ho moved in6o fifty years ago. The old gentleman has raised a large family, all of whom are married except ono daughter. It made us feel sad as he related some incidents of years gone by. The neighbors, with but two excep? tions, that lived near him fifty years ago are gone now. We trust that himself and wife may be spared many more years, as his life is a benediction to the rising gener? ation. We noticed the crops all along the road are showing thrift and energy. Dr. W. A. Clinkscales has the prottieat cotton we noticed. He knows how to farm as well as give medicine. A. E. Scudday, Esq., has tho finest whoat that we noticed on our round. The farm of Mrs. McGee shows that it is managed by a level head. Also Reuben and Jim McGee have their farm in fine condition, showing that they are young men of push and vim. Our farmers are plowing corn this week. Cotton is coming up beautifully where it was planted early. . Gardens are doing well, though some? what late, owing to so many set backs. Fishing is indulged in now and then by some of our sporting friends, but they usually return only with the fisherman's luck. The grippe has about subsided, and the health of our people is about as good as we could ask. The young people of the surrounding country will have a pic nie at Hardscrab ble some time in May. Due notice will be given. Mr. J. E. Carter, of this section, has been appointed Postmaster at Lowndes ville. ? An old colored woman living on Mr. T. D. Stevenson's place dreamed a few nights ago that she saw her coffin, and awoke crazy, and at last accounts was as wild as a buck, aud making things stand around. Burke. Andersonvlllo Items. The public high-ways in this section have been put in good condition. We will say our clever overseers deserve much credit from our people. Mr. J. H. Jones had the misfortune to lose a valuable cow quite recently. She was haltered out to graze and became en? tangled in the rope, when she fell, break? ing her neck. We are sorry to hear of such, especially when the loss falls on a poor, hard-working man. Hon. E. P. Earle has been visiting this section. His visits are always appreciated by his many frionds. Rev. J. T. W. Vernon will, if not provi? dentially prevented, fill his appointment at Andersonville Church next Sunday and Saturday before. On account of sick? ness Mr. V. did not fill his appointment last first Sunday, We trust it will not be so again. The Sunday School at our Church, which was organized a few Sundays ago, is in a flourishing condition, with Mr. Henry Caldwell as Superintendent, and we must say they could not have let their ohoice fall on a more suitable man. Miss Hattie Sloan, of Columbia, is visit? ing her aunt, Miss Fannie Earle, at this place. We wish for her a pleasant visit. The farmers are about through planting cotton, and from the number of fishermen on the rivers, we suppose they have a lit tie leisure time. From all appearauces we will have a bountiful crop of apples. This is candidate year and we would advise the farmers to plant a goodly sup? ply of ? watermelons, as they aro much cheaper to feod the candidates on than chickens. The pic nie season is upon us. The first of the season at this place was a small party from Georgia. Ray. - 'jam ? Monntain Creole Alllunoe Met last Saturday r.nd adopted the fol? lowing resolutions: Resolved, That we, tho Farmers' Alli? ance at Mountain Creek, do heartily on doree Capt. B. R. Tiilman as the nominee for Governor of the State of South Caro? lina, first, last and all the time. Wo also endorse the Sub-Treasury plan, and also recommend Mr. D. K. Norris as the man for Congrees from tho Third Congressional District. J. L. 0. Shaw, Secretary. Tryinu to Convince the Pkesident. ?"Trying to Convince the President" is the title of the frontispiece ot Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper this week, and forci? bly illustrates the caution and prudenco exercised by our Chief Executive. Evi? dently President Harrison is examining very carefully both sides of the knotty question presented to liita by the two prominent statesmen. Thero can be no doubt that this decision will be a wise one. A full page is devoted to illustrations of tho opening of the base-ball season in New York. Various character sketches are given which depict the universal excitement attendanl upo thi3 favorite sport. A Scrap of Paper Saves llor Life.
