LOCAL NEWS THURSDAY, MAY S. THE EDITORS IN CHARLESTON. The annual meeting of the Southern and State Press Associations in Charleston last week will long be remembered by those of us who were so fortunate as to be present. We bad looked forward to the occasion with the most pleasant anticipations and we were not disappointed. ; Leaving Anderson Tuesday morning, 29th' nit, in company with Bro. R. R. Todd, of the Journal, and under care of Capt. Waiden, the genial conductor on the S. V. R R., we soon reached McCor mick, where we hoarded the regular through train to Charleston. On this train we met with Bros. Crews and Garlington, and later in the day Bro. McSweeny, of Hamp? ton, the handsome President of the State ? Association, and Bro. Price, of Walter boro, joined us. The ride from Augusta to Charleston, via Yemassee, was very In? teresting. The tall pines, draped with moss, and the ponds or fens covered with *. the beautiful lillies, all surrounded by green foliage, is especially attractive at this season of the year to an up-country citizen. Our train made good speed, and we reach? ed Charleston on schedule time, about 7 o'clock. Proceeding to the Charleston Hotel, we were assigned to a comfortable room, and after enjoying a hearty supper, the evening was spent in the corridors of the hotel greeting the brethren ? as they arrived on the evening trains. Wednesday morning dawned bright and clear, and was just such' a morning as Charleston is noted for at thib season of the year. The editors were soon as if. r, and of coarse wore their best clothes and hap? piest smiles, and every one seemed to be in the best of humor and on their best behav? ior. It was soon - evident that the State Association would have the largest meeting 'held in several years. In the Southern Association all the leading daily papers of the South, were represented by one or more of their staff. Some few had brought their wives or daughters to enjoy the occasion, but the great majority were alone. Mayor Bryan and his committees soon made themselves known to the press gaug, and each one of us realized that we were in good bands and truly welcome to the . "grand old city by the. sea." Shortly after 12 o'clock the State Association was called to order-by .President McSweeny^ in the beautiful ball of the German Fusilier, on Wentwortb-street, who introduced iMayor Bryan to the meeting. The Mayor spoke a few words, , and introduced Gen. B. H. Rutledge, who gave us a hearty welcome in behalf of the city and its citizens. After transacting some business and electing a number of ne-v members to the Associa? tion, a committee was appointed to escort Hon. Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier- Journal, to our Hall, and introduce him to the Association. The members of the Southern Association were also invited to be present. When the Committee returned and entered the Hall with our distinguished guest,, he was loudly cheered. He was then introduced to each individual member, in a few words. The Association then took a recess, and in the afternoon held an interesting business meeting. Hon..Henry Watterson bad been invited to deliver the annual address before the State Association, and at 8 o'clock both Associations marched into the Grand Opera House,.which was already crowded with a very large and intelligent audience of ladies and gentlemen of the city, and took seats on the stage, which was most beautifully decorated with, the richest of flowers. Mayor Bryan introduced the distinguished orator, who after a brief introduction, an? nounced bis subject, "Money and Morals/' For one hour and a half be held the undi? vided attention of his hearers, delivering one of the ablest lectures ever heard on any occasion in the State. . At the conclusion of the lecture the press gong and a number of the citizens repaired to the Charleston Hotel, where we "safrdown to one of themostsumptuous ban? quets ever spread in any Southern City. There were fiveregular toasts for the even? ing, and the responses were both eloquent and interesting. The first event of Thursday's programme ? was an excursion on the steamer "Sap? pho" around the harbor and up the rivers. Quite a number of ladies honored the ? 'occasion with their presence, and the few hours spent on the water was one of the most pleasant features of our whole trip. In the afternoon the State Association "held another interesting business meeting. All of the old officers were re-elected to serve- the Association another yoar. In-: yitation:' to hold the next annual meeting in Anderson and Georgetown were receiv? ed, and the latter place was . selected by a majority of three votes. When the Asso? ciation, adjourned the members enjoyed a I inoat delightfal drive o ver .the city. On Friday morning at 11 o'clock both Associations boarded a special train of cars at the South Carolina Railroad depot and visited that beautiful little town, Summer rille. Here we were met by a committee of citizens with carriages, and, after a drive through the principal streets, were landed at the Dorchester, a modern and commod? ious hotel which is now being erected as a winter resort. After a -hearty welcome from the Mayor, the gang was conducted into the spacious dining-room to enjoy a feast of good things. The'good ladie? of the town were present, and did their ut? most to make our stay pleasant, and well did they succeed. We were all charmed with the beautiful place. Before leaving the dining-room the following resolution was unanimously adopted: " Resolved^ That the State Press Associa? tion of South Carolina do, with entire and enthusiastic unanimity, return unbound? ed thanks to the citizens, and very espe ? cially to the beautiful and kind ladies of Summerville for the splendid reception this day tendered.them. In the coming years of the State Press Association there will be ? no brighter spot for memory to rest upon than oar reception and entertainment at the beautiful Dorchester, the hotel among the pines. At the same time tire following resolu? tions were- offered and also unanimously adopted.: ??, , llesolv'ed, That we, the State Press- Associ? ation; of South Carolina, in annual meeting assembled,.at SummeiviUo, S. C, May 2 1890, recognize the presence of Miss Hannah HempnilJ, the accomplished, talented local reporter of the Abbeville Medium, and esteem b or presence an honor to the pro -fession of which in South Carolina she is the bright, particular star. Resolved,, That appreciating and honoring her as the representative of that refinement, grace and culture that have ever character? ized the women of Soutb Carolina, we hereby tender her an honorary member? ship in our Association, Resolved, That all the papers in South Carolina be requested to publish these reso? lutions. On our return trip to Charleston the train . stopped at Lamb's, and the editors were given on opportunity of visiting the'Ashley and Berkeley Phosphate works. Here we, saw the laborers digging the rock from the ground, the drying kilns and other works, and also the collection of immense bones.' \ On the train the Association was called to order, and after transacting some busi? ness, the following resolution was unani? mously adopted: Resolved, That the StateJPress Association of. Soutb Carolina fully appreciate and hereby returns its thanks to Mr. J. C. Hempbill and Capt. Si L. Weber, of the News and Courier, for their unremitting and elegant courtesies and attention during the present session. This ended the business sessions of the Association. Owing to our limited space we have been compelled to mention briefly the many pleasant features, of our stay in Charleston. We could fill a page of the Istelu?excer, and then not do justice to the occasion. The citizens of Charleston, who have world-wide reputation for their generous hospitality, left nothing undone that would tend to the comfort and enjoy? ment of the newspaper men, every one of whom will ever look back to the occasion as one of the brightest spots on their mem? ory. As' we sat in the business sessions of the Association and visited the various places of interest in and around the grand old city, our mind naturally reverted to the lamented Dawson, who had a peculiar knack of contributing to the happiness and enjoyment of his brethren on similar occasions. Wc of the State press, more es Eecially, missed his cheerful face, his appy smile and cordial grasp of the hand. He has gone to his long home, but his memory will ever be be cherished by the newspaper men. Quite a large party boarded the Blue Ridge train Monday afternoon en route to Texas, a number of whom will attend the Southern Baptist Convention, and others go to visit relatives and friends. Among the partv we noticed Bov. GK M. Rogers, Rev. D; W. Hiott, Rev. M, McGee, Rev. J. R. Earle, Messrs. W. B. Watson, J. L. Glenn, W. P. Holland, D. A. Geer, W. F. Cox. W. D. Milford, T. J.

A representative of the Intelligencer and several others spent a few days of last week on the Ogeechee river pulling in the finny tribe. The weather was very favorable, and the river was in fine condi? tion, and the result was good luck. Mr. James Morris, Jr., who keeps the toll bridge overxOgeecho River, is an expert fisherman. He takes special pleasure in enhancing the enjoyment of those who visit that place from this section.. Ogee? chee is full of fish. Iu the latter part of May a handsumo statue of Gen. Robert E. Loe will be un? veiled at Richmond, Va., with appropri? ate ceremonies.

Frier son. A. A. Waiden, Joe. Talbert, J. M. James and F. E.

We have on our table a bunch of burr clover, which was grown on Mr. B. F. Shirley's place, in Rock Mills Township. Mr, Shirley secured the seed from Texas, and so wed it as. an experimen t. It grows in the winter and dies in the summer, thus affording a line pasture in the season of tho year when our farmers need it. Horses, cattle and bogs eat it with a relish, and it may be harvested and cured for forage. It grows very luxuriantly and reseeds itself. We would like to see several of our farmers give it a trial, and let their neighbors know the result. Mr. 0. B. VanWyck has rented the store room formerly occupied by ^\Ir. A. P.

His pres? ent 9tock will be sold at cost. He is fix? ing his establishment up in fine style, and will keep everything in the shoe line. Mr. VanWyck is a young man of fine busi? ness qualities, and we believe will build up a large trade. Tho readers of the In? telligencer will hear from him in a short time. On Thursday of last week Mr. Alford K. Mann was the victim of one of the most painful accidents we have over heard of. Ho was working in the shop with another man. The latter had heated a sharp pointed piece of iron sparkling, red hot, and turned quickly to the anvil to work it. In turning, by some means Mr. MHnn's right arm, just below the elbow, was struck by this sparkling spike of iron, which penetrated, going nearly through. Dr. Ducket was sent for immediately, and dressed the wound, and Mr. Mann is now able to go about. He says it is surprising how easily hot iron can penetrate the llesh. The closing exercises of Miss Lucy Gambrell's school, at Broadaway school house last Friday afternoon, was one of tho most enjoyable occasions that has taken place in that section in a long time. The exercises consisted of dialogues, reci? tations, speeches and vocal music, all of which were well prepared aud admirably I delivered. Miss Lucy Gambrell has had a good school during the session just closed, and has done some lino work, all of which is entirely satisfactory to the pa? trons and appreciated by them. Her school will open again in Jnly. There was a large crowd pr<!sent, and all pro? nounced the occasion a genuine success. The Charleston World, of Wednesday, 30th ult., says: "Mr. Baylis C.

His store at Moffattsville was established by his grand-father and was called 'Shbr ard's Store' Stores iu the days of 1700 were not frequent in the up-country. ?Sherard's Store' has beon run continu? ously until the present day by the present owner's father after his grandfather, and now himself; and ho has several sous, one of whom will most likoly take chargo of the business in tho course of a few years.

The following resolutions were offered: Realizing as we do the necessity of some radical changes in our political as well as in our agricultural economy, aud claiming it as our inherent right as free citizens to suggest the name of certain leaders for of? fice, in order that we may bo enabled more fully to carry out certain measures, there? fore be it Resolved, That we most heartily endorse tho action of our delegates to tho Farmers' Convention in Columbia, March 27th, in voting for nominations. 2.

A committee of five was appointed to meot similar committees from the other Counties in the Congressional District to decide upon which of the several candi? dates for Congress should be endorsed by the farmers' movement. The Shir/oy-CIlnkaonl.os Marriage. The marriage of Dr. J. F. Shirley, of Houoa Path, and Miss Emma J. Clink scales, of Belton, took place at Belton in the Baptist Church Wednesday afternoon, April 30th, after which tho monotony of our town was broken in upon by the ap pearauce of tho weddiug party, who drove In from Belton in a score or more vehicles at about 8 o'clock, As the party drove up to the home of the groom, they found the Hotel brilliantly illuminated with Chinese lanterns, which brought forth many ex? pressions of admiration from the merry crowd. As they entered tbe hospitable home signs of festivity and beauty greeted them on all sides. Tbe beautiful decora? tions previously arranged by loving hands added much to the beauty of the reception rooms nnd dining hall. A short while af? ter their arrival, the bride and attendants entered tbe parlors, where the popular couple received the congratulations of mauy friends, who had assembled to greet them. The costumes were as follows. The bride was handsomely arrayed in silk mull and point lace, with pearl orna? ments. Mijs Anna Dargan, of Greenyille, em? broidered mull?ornaments, diamonds.

About one hundred guests partook of a most sumptuous repast prepared by our well known and far famed hostess. Next on the programme was the inspec? tion of the presents, which were, in our es? timation, the finest and best selection of presents that tvc have ever seen presented on such an occasion. We dare not attempt to guess at the value, lest we should ascend away up into tho hundreds. The remainder of the evening was pleas? antly and socially spent by the young people in promenading and listening to the sweet strains of music fumishod by our home talent. The hour for dispersing came all too soon, but our reluctance at parting was lessoned by the expectations of being called together again to be present on two occasions ofnke nature in the near future. B. D. C. Five Forks Items. Mrs. Dr. Duckworth and her little daughter, Birdie, leaves home this morn? ing to visit friends and relatives in Dallas, Texas. They carry with them the pray? ers and blessings of our wholo communi? ty. Mrs. Duckworth is one of Five Fork's good Samaritaus, whom we are loath to give up, even for a short time. ILvy the parties have a pleasant and en? joyable time, and a safe and early return. Mr. Chesloy Duckworth had the inis fortuue to lose a $100 cow a few days ago. The mad dog scare has subsided, and I, for one, am sorry for it. We have a mul? titude of supernumerary dogs that ought to run mud, as there saems to be no other way to get rid of them. We had a fine rain Saturday night, and the cry of bad stands of cotton will be heard no more, but the complaint of bad stands of corn will still be heard. It seems as if moles and various insects had formed a conspiracy against tho corn crop. I wish some of your roadeis would give u9 a plan for destroying moles without putting salt ou their tails. Well, I take it all back?every Word of it. Wheat has got the rust, got it bad, too. I sec it on tbe briars, and can taste it in my bacon. I fear it will work blue ruin with wheat and oats, but it will have to spread itself if it beats me iu tbe race for my bacon. I paid Greenville a visit last week.- Our folks over there are all well, and every? thing like business is running in first class stylo. I spent most of time at the popular boarding house of Mrs. Epting, and would advise all my friends who visit Greenville to go and do likewise. An hour or so spent with tho family is a good investment of time. On my return from Greenville I loft the traiu at Piedmont and came from there home by private conveyance. It was al? together too private to suit me. The team broke down several times on the road, and had to be watered and shaded fre qently?one of the blisters is not well yet.

We have bad good rains, and the effect on vegetation is plainly visible. Every farmer nas good Btands of cotton in this locality. It Is being plowed and put to a stand as soon as possible. Oats are looking well, especially those sown in the Spring. An infant of Mr. S. E. Strickland died, and was buried at Shiloh one day last week. Mrs. S. E. Strickland, who has been quite ill, we are glad to say is improving. Rev. Mr. Thornton will preach at Shi? loh next Saturday and Sunday at 11 o'clock. Tho Lagrippe has about left us, but we will soon have to endure the grip of the office seeker. There has been delivered at Starr over seven hundred tons of guano this season. We have been asked to say that the pic? nic will be at Hardscrabble on Saturday, the 17th inst. Everybody.is expected to bring something to eat. Borke. Corner Dots. Last Friday evening Mr. J. D. McDon? ald's shop caught fire, but the flames were extinguished before any serious damage was done. Mrs. Ella Reid, of Deans, was visiting Mr. C. C. Simpsons' family last week. A good many farmers of this section attended the Alliance meeting, which con? vened at Anderson on Friday. Mr. T. A. Sherard spent several days in Charleston and Savannah last week. Mrs. J. Prc3Sley, of Due West, who has been visiting her daughter, Mrs. E. Pressloy, for the pastthreo weeks, left for her home Friday. Miss Kate Holleman, who has been confined to her bod for the past week, started for her hom?, Walhalla, on Fri? day. She will return the latter part of the week, and take her place as assistant of the school at this place. Rev. C. Pressly has gone to Newberry to assist Rev. W. W. McMorries in his com? munion meeting. We have been informed that the price of hoes have come down. But we would not have been surprised if they had said that the price of hose had gone up, judging from the outward appearance of?? we will not say, but they didn't match. Per? haps one of them had to be darned, and they were compelled tu have a substitute. PUEB. Belton Items. The chief event of last week was the marriage of Dr. J. F. Shirley, of Honea Path, and Miss Emma Clinkscales, eldest daughter of Mr. F. Clinkssales, of this vicinity. Though no elaborate prepara? tions had been made, it was one of those happy occasions possessed so largely of agreeable features that it is justly entitled to be remembered as a beautiful wedding. Dr. Charles Manly, pastor of the Church, was the officiating minister. .Saturday night the ordinance of bap? tism was administered at the Baptist Church. The candidate was Mrs. J. T. Cox. Sunday at the conclusion of the sermon the Lord's Supper was observed. Several of the citizens from and about Belton left here Monday to attend the Southern Baptist Convention at Fort Worth, Texas. We wish them a pleasant trip and a safe'return. Prof. W. E. Breazeale on account of feeble health has. resigned his position in the Academy. Mr. C. C. Geer has been elected to fill the vacancy. > Mr. L. D. Harris is again confined to his bed. We hope his illness will not be serious or long. Major B. D. Dean has been quite ill for a week. Saturday's rain was too much out of season in the opinion of the many disap Sointed ones that spent tbe day at their omes. We are informed that the attend? ance was large, notwithstanding the rain. It would require cyclones and water? spouts to keep everybody away from a pic nie at Cooley's Bridge. Kappa. Honea Path Items. There have been more cases of "La Grippe" around here in the last two weeks than at any time during the past winter. M. L. Wilson, R. M. Shirley, W. H. Pepper, J. H. Richardson,- J. L. Jones, Mrs. H.

His congregation was not so largeas usual, many of our people having gone to Town's Chapol to the Children's Day ex? ercises. Prof. Newton has his class in training for another Concert, which is to take place Thursday, 15th inst. On Friday, the lGth inst., the Erwin's Mill pic nie will take place.

Tbe reception given by Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Shirley to Dr. J. F. Shirley and his bride was one of the most brilliant ever held in Honea Path. The Honea Path string band discoursed the sweetest music and everything went merry as a marriage bell. Pop. Facts from Ira. That the conservation of some of the old school is remarkable in this day of evolution and revolution. Mr. Jones, an old settler in this section, while buying a quart of kerosino, remarked that it was the second purchase of the kind that he had ever made. He regards its light-af? fording power as its least valuable prop? erty, and that it is wrong to the extent of being sacrilegious to use it- in the present wholesale and wasteful manner for light? ing purposes, when it possesses such great remedial properties. That the above isolated example cannot be regarded as proving the fitness of the name "Dark Corner," which sobriquet some are wont to apply to our section of the County. If there evor was a time when such a name was appropriate, it cer? tainly has passed, for a more progressive, law-abiding people cannot be found. A Township is a Township for a' that. That the mail boys' locomotive sudden? ly and without any notice to that effect de? cided that "Uncle Sam's" business should be conducted in a more speedy manner, and for the space of two hundred yards fairly eclipsed tbe "iron boss." Thi3 abruot departure from the customary schedule caused a feeling of revolution on the part of the wheels, and resulted in the dismemberment of one and the contortion of another. That one of the members of the music class, if his statement of his progress is correct, has made phenomenal progress in his studies. Although a new scholar he has mastered tbe first letters of the musi? cal alphabet, and has reached 0 in the mu? sical scale. We knew that he was a pre? cocious youth, but it rather surprised us to learn of his making such rapid strides in so difficult an art. That our people are stage struck. Wc were represented each night during tbe last week's play at the Opera. The "By Joves," "BeGosb," "I think she's mine," etc., have become stale already. Villaoer. A Now and Important Enterprise. It may not bo yet generally known, but it is nevertheless true, that the Sullivan Manu? facturing Company carry now on their yard over 100 car loads of lumber of all shapes and sizes, dressed or undressed, green or dry.
