Mr. William Webb, who lives near Plat Rock, had a son painfully hurt by a mule's kick last week. He had come in from ploughing and turned his mule loose to graze awhile.

The Secretary of the County Executive Committee" has an important notice in this paper to the Democratic Clubs of tbe County 'in reference to paying up their assessments for campaign expenses. Only six Clubs have paid their assessments, and it is important that the others do so at once, as no campaign can be conducted without money. Last Monday this section was visited by a heavy rain, and in some sections hail. Mr. T. H. Burriss reports hail on his place, and the gin house of Mrs. Martha Watson was "blown down. The rain was repeated Monday nijrht, and the ground is thoroughly wet. However, we are in? formed that the rains did not extend very far East of the city. Hartwell Sun: "Jim Roberts was over in South Carolina last week, representing the Hartwell Tether Company. He sold a grazer to one man who had no stock of any kind, to tether his toddling child to keep it from wandering off and falling in the spring. Jim solemnly asseverates that this is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." Piokens Sentinel: "A letter from Rev. J. C. Newton, missionary to Japan, to his brother, Judge Newton, states tbat the Christians are being persecuted in por? tions ofthat country.

Mr. Newton's little daughter has been quite sick, bat was better when he wrote " Within the past few weeks the attention of.the public has been largely directed to the winner of the Suburban, "Salvator," which has also won a second race run by himself and Tenny. Frank Leslie's Illus-. trated Newspaper for the week ending July 5th gives an excellent picture of the horse, and also a view of the sncond race. These illustrations are sure to attract great at tention. The citizens of the city, as well as of the County, are earnestly invited to attend the sessions of the County Teachers In? stitute, which meets here on next Mon? day, the 7th July. Prof. Albert, Miss Bonham and Dr. Lander will have some? thing to say to the teachers present that { may be interesting to tbe people, and we know that the School Commissioner and the teachers will be glad to have the peo? ple present.

About four hun red shares of stock have .been taken in the Association. Capitalists are moving aronnd briskly, looking out for chances to place their sur Elus funds. The-way. for our people to eep.this thing going is, for those who .have property that they do not feel in? clined to improve themselves, to offer it at 'reasonable prices that more enterprisiug people may do it. . There is no greater drawback to a town or city than the hold? ing of property at prices tbat. more public spirited people cannot afford to pay for it. Prof. W. Pi Holland, who has had charge of the Lebanon High School, in this County, for. B&veral years past, left Anderson Monday afternoon for Galves ton, Texas, where he will Bpend this month in attendance upon the State Nor? mal School. It is possible he may locate in Texas. By his departure Anderson County loses not only a good teacher, but one of her best young men. Wherever he v-mgy'go'-the lKT?LHeffia^ir-wisirg^fe*&> well. Mr. William Drennan died at his home near this city last Saturday night, after a long and'painful illness. Mr. Drennan was born and reared in this County, where he has always resided. He was an upright honorable man, and was esteemed by all of his acquaintances. His remains were interred in the graveyard at Concord Church Sunday afternoon, Rov. C. B. Smith conducting the funeral services. A wife and several sons and daughters are left to cherish his memory. The season is now at baud when every housewife is endeavoring to preserve as much fruit as possible for the winter sea? son, and Messrs. Hill Bros, wants them to remember that they have on band a big supply of the American Fruit Pre? serving Powder and Liquid, which they are selling'at a low price, and which they guarantee to give satisfaction. Look out for Messrs. Hill Bros', new advertisement next week, but in the mean time give them a call and try the Preserving Pow? der and Liquid. The Sunday -Schools of Broadaway Township are requested to meet with the Eureka Sunday School on Sunday after? noon, 13th i.jst., at 3 o'clock, for the pur ?ose of organizing a Township Sunday chool Association. The Superintendents of all the Schools in the Township are urged to see that their respective Schools are represented, and that the delegates bring written reports of the condition of their Schools. Messrs. L. P. Smith and M. O. Ligon are expected to deliver short addresses on the occasion. The Union Meeting at Flat Rock Church lo3t Saturday and Sunday was very well attended, and in every respect a most in? teresting [meeting. The next Union Meeting will be held with the Mountain Creek Church, beginning Saturday before the 5th Sunday in August. An interest? ing programme has been arranged, and a lively meeting is expected. These meet? ings deserve the.hearty Biipport of the Baptists for many reasons. The delegates appointed should attend, and those ap? pointed to discuss the questions should go prepared. ' It affords us much pleasure to visit the country and see the fine crop prospects. Last Sunday we travelled the Greenville road up as far as Pisgah Church, and along this road we have never seen a more promising prospect for a bountiful harvest. The seasons havo been favora? ble, and the farms are in fine condition. There is a small section, however, in the Pisgah neighborhood, where there had been no rain up to Sunday in six weeks, but the farmers of that section had never lost hope, and, with fair seasons from now on, they will come out all right at harvest time. Miss Lenora C. Hubbard, tbe popular Principal of the Home School, has gone to Monteagle, Tonn,, to attend the famous summer school and lectures for teachers. She proposes to take a thorough course in elocution, and observe all the most ap? proved methods of teaching, with the viow of still further enlarging the advan? tages of the Home School, and extending its courso of study. Miss Hubbard is so very much encouraged by her success of the past year that she intends putting forth every effort to increase the useful? ness of her school. The Intelligence!! wishes her a delightful and profitable Btay at Monteagie, and a safe re'.uvn home. Some people often go to a newnpapor with serious charges against souio porson'' and insist that they be exposed for thoir rascality, but they will say, "for the Lard's sate don't tell that I told you." Some people want certain things exposed, but are too cowardly to do it themselves and expect the newspaper' man to expose fraud, rascality, misconduct and wrong doing and then have a big stir, compel tho editor to' whip two or three fellows and have his informant stand by an inno? cent spectator. No notice are taken of let? ters that are not signed by the name of the author. Write your letters and we will conceal your names, and then if wcget into trouble wc will give you away. See tho point? The Circuit Court adjourned last Fri? day, having finished op the business ready for trial. The case of Thomas Reed vs. 0 Bail Brown attracted some atten? tion. A rule was issued against C B. Brown requiring him to appear before the Court at this term aud show cause, if any he had, why ho should not deliver the possession oj the land on which he lived to Mr. Henry Sitton, who purchased it wlu-u sold from under Mr. Brown by order of Court. C. B. Brown refused to appear and show cause, whereupon Judge Izlar issued an order requiring him to Bartender the possession to Mr. Sitton, or his agent, and instructing the Sheriff, in came he refused so to deliver the posses? sion upon the service upon him ofthat order, to arrest him and bring him before .the Court, to be dealt with for contempt. The order was served, Brown refased, and Deputy Green arrested and brought him before tbe Court, and the. Court ordered him to jail until he was willing to obey :the order of the Court. He is still in jail. We give this to show that the Courts have the right and power to enforce their orders. Everybody seemed to be pleased with Judge Izlar. The jurors consider him kind and pleasing, the lawyers re? gard him as able and conscientious. He has the quality of dispatch and prompt? ness. He is one of tho best humored Judges tbat we have. While he is per? fectly dignified, he is at the same time very agreeable, and by his dignity no one feels embarrassed in his presence. He made a very favorable impression hero. In company with our clever friend, Mr. E. E. Henderson, we had she pleasure of spending last Sunday in Brushy Creek Township in attendance upon the Pied? mont Union Meeting and Sunday School Institute,*both of which held its sessions at Pisgah Church. We left the city at an early hour Sunday morning and drove to tho plantation of Mr. Henderson, which is not far from tha Church. Here we spent a pleasant hour, and then went on to the Church, where we found a very large crowd gathering. It was soon evident that the Church would not near accom? modate the crowd. A business session of the Union was held in the morning, and at 11 o'clock Rev. D. L. Hatcher, of Cen? tral, preached in tho Church, and Rev. D* I. Spearman conducted services in tbe school house near by at the same hour. The greater portion of the crowd had come prepared to spend tbe day, and at tbe con? clusion of the morning services a recess was granted to enjoy dinner, which was served on tbe grounds. In tbe afternoon a meeting in the interest of Sunday School work was held and interesting addresses were made by Messrs. Vermillion, Hatcher, Phillips, Burdine and Spearman. The meeting, which bad convened on Sat? urday morning, was a most interesting one throughout. Pisgah is one of the oldest Churches'in the County, and its congregation numbers about two hundred and fifty members. Services are held there on tho second and fourth Sundays in each month. Rev. Mr. Vermillion, of Williamston, a talented and energetic young man, is now serving the Church as pastor. No section of the County has a more clever or hospitable people than Brushy Creek Township, and it is a real' pleasure to meet acfd mingle with them. ' The Grand Jury's Presentment. To the Hon. James F. Izlar, Presiding Judge of the Eighth Judicial Circuit: The Grand Jury lor this County for the June Term, 1890, beg leave respectfully to make the following Presentment, to-wit: We have passed upon the several bills of indictment given us for consideration at this term, among which we found several of a frivolous character and which ought not, in our. judgment, ever to have been sent to the Court of Sessions for investi? gation ;" and we recommend that the Trial Justices exercise a more careful discretion in such cases before imposing so much expense upon the County, especially as we see no good that can be subserved by continuing their present practice. We regret to see that the carrying of deadly weapons concealed about the person is on the increase, and we earnestly urge a vig? orous prosecution of all such offenses, and that our members of tbe General As? sembly be requested to use their influence in having tbe law so amended as to make the punishment for such offenses iiaprfc onment only, believing as we do that this dangerous practice can not be diminished or stopped as long as persons convicted of this crime are allowed to satisfy the de? mands of the law by the payment of a fine. We have made a hasty examination of the various County offices, and, as far as we are able to judge, considering the lim? ited time at our disposal and lack of ex? perience and familiarity in such matters, find them well kept. We have visited the County Jail and Poor House by Committee, and find the Poor House well 'and neatly kept, the inmates well pleased and contented, and the crops well cultivated and in splendid condition. Complaint having been made to us that the Steward of the Poor House had made a misappropriation of the pro? ceeds of the farm, we carefully investi? gated the matter and find that the charge is unfounded. This much we feel it our duty to say in justice to the Steward. We find the Jail as well and neatly kept as the present facilities admit of, and the Erisonera wholesomely fed and comforta ly cared for, but we recommend that the County Commissioners better ventilate the building, and that water closets be placed in the cells and cleaned by water jjiken from the water works as soon as they-are established in the city. We respeclfully-wquest_our members of the General Assembly to use their efforts to have an Act passed requiring the County Treasurers in their annual pub? lished reports to make an itemized state? ment of all receipts as well as expendi? tures, and that the proceeds from the Poor House be turned over to the Treas? urer and disbursed by him, which shall also be included in his annual reports. Having heard no complaint, with one or two exceptions, of the condition of the public roads and bridges, we presume they are generally in good condition. We desire to call the attention of the Court to a disgraceful disturbance of the peace and a carrying of concealed weapons at Slabtown, in this County, on Saturday, the 10th day of May, 1890, committed by W. D. Collcy and Elijah Johnston, in which there was much shooting among a crowd of women and children. The following are the names of witnesses to prove the charge: Dr. C. N. Wyatt, Joshua Owens, J. C. Watkins and others, and we recommend- their speedy prosecution. We also call the Solicitor's attention to the fact that Monroe Durham has recently been retailing spirituous liquors in this County without a license. Witnesses as follows : Grate Orr, Jefferson Eankins, Gray Gillespie and others. We cannot too often urge upon tbe County Commissioners the necessity of building a new Court House, and such an one as will be in keeping with the recent improvements and prosperity of our city and Connty. The present Court House is not sufficient for the increased business of the County. It is inconveniently and uncomfortably arranged, and does not en? sure safe protection to the records of the Court. It has not sufficient offices for the accommodation of the County 'offices, the offices of Treasurer, Auditor, School Com? missioner and County Commissioners now being rented at a heavy expense, amounting annually to a sura nearly equivalent to the interest on the money necessary to build a new Court House. In conclusion <ve tender our thanks to the Presiding Judge, Solicitor and othor officers of the Court for their assistance and kindness during our labors at the present Term. Respectfully submitted, J. N. Hunter, Foreman. Corner Dots. Miss Lucy Clark Gibert, of Mt. Carruol, visited Dr. J. W. Sherard's family last week. Miss Julia Simpson, who has been at? tending the Williamston Female College tbe past session, has returned home. Miss Nora Cudley, of Troy, is visiting Rev. R. C. Ligon's family. Miss Essie Cook and Miss Rosa Wbar ton, who have been attending tbe Due West Female College, have returned to their home. It is reported that there will be a wed? ding close to this place In a few days. If it be true we think all should "live in hope if they die in despair." A small boy who was passing a school house, and who noticed another boy drinking milk from a bottle, instantly ex? claimed: "Oh, mamma, isn't he largo enough to quit using the bottle?" His mother, being surprised very much, quietly said, "No." After watching him for .awhile ho looked at his mothor and said: "Ifl ware he I would have a rub ben ttt on that bottle." * j - Important Notice to Democratic Clubs, - TheExcculivc Committee and the Treas: uror of. each Democratic Club in the County will please collect and forward to me at once the assessment placed upon the Club for campaign expenses. Only a few clubs have sent in their quota, and we are in need of funds to meet our bills for last campaign day. and we will need other funds before the campaign is over. Don't bo afraid of sending too much, as I will make full report to the Convention. Georqe E.. Pbince, Treasurer. Holland's Store Items. The Intelligencer, from some-cause, failed to reach our office last week. The out-look for a good crop is flattering at present. Cotton is growing right along. Corn is also extra fine. With a few more good rains a bountiful crop will be harves? ted. The fruit crop, after all that has been said, is about a failure. Some time ago the peaches promised pretty fair, but they have lately fallen off. Our farmers have laid by the bulk of their corn, and will soon be ready to give cotton its final working. W. M. Sherard and 0. E. Jefferson, two worthy colored people, were married by Joe. C. Winter, "Notary Public," at bis residence last Sunday afternoon. Mr. John Vassar caught fifteen pounds of fish on a trot line last Saturday night in the Savannah. 'Last Sunday was rather a lonesome day in this neighborhood: there was no preaching near. Dr. R. G. Witherspoon has a half acre planted in the okra cotton. The Dr. makes a success at everything he under? takes. We had a fine rain last Monday night. It was right badly needed. BunicE. CraytonviUo Items. Almost every one in this section'has turned and twisted the grass about till it now lies beneath the sun, whose burning rays havo given it a rich hay color never again to molest the farmers, or to make him afraid. And O, how pleasant, how consoling to know that tbe victory which once seemed so uncertain, is at last ours, and now we can spend the heat of the day lounging around under the shade trees in the yard, meditating on our good man? agement and unceasing galantry. We would be glad to get a rain in this section now. The weather has been so warm that a shower don't seem to last long. Gardens are suffering more than anything else. Nearly every family in this section has been troubled with mosquitoes Mr. J. J. Robinson lost a fine milch cow last week. A whip snake, measuring fourteen feet, was killed near this place recently, by Mr. T. C. Banister and others. Lern, a ten-year-old son of Mr. James W.lCay, had his thigh broken last Wed? nesday, while plowing. His father was plowing a young and somewhat wild ani? mal near by, which became frightened, and going toward Lern, the plowstock was jerked from Mr. Kay, and the horse turn? ed rapidly around, throwing the stock against his thigh. He was.doiog very well when last heard from. Crate. Kock Mills Items. As we have no one writing from thiB section, I will try to give yon a few notes, if they may be of interest to you. We can boast of this section for its large number of successful farmers. The crops need only bo seen to convince you that this is true. I have beard many of the farmers say that we have tbe best pros? pects that we have had for years. The farmers are lucky for not having any wheat sowed, for it is a complete failure this year. Oats are very good, but few were sown. Mr. S. A. Jones has the finest piece of cotton that we havo seen this year. He has a large crop of cotton planted, and, from the appearance of his well-managed farm, clearly shows that he is what we style an excellent farmer. Mr. J. P. McClure has the best piece of upland corn that we havo chanced to meet with this year. Mr. Charlie Skelton has recently painted his residence. He is one of our young, energetic and progressive farmers. A meeting of the Rock Mills Democratic Club was held at Williford's Store Satur? day evening, June 28th, and was well at? tended, though they did not gather until after the appointed time, which was 1 o'clock. The Tillman men were in an overwhelming majority. Eight delegates were elected to the County Convention, all of whom declared in favor of Tillman. They endorsed Tillman and the action of the March Convention. Several were called upon to speak, but they made ex? cuses. Mr. J. W. Shearer will deliver an address at the next meeting. Not having any more business, the Club adjourned to meet at 2 o'clock, July 12. Dr. J. T. Cook, formerly a resident of this community, but now of Bowersville, Ga., is visiting his son and relatives here. We learn that he is going to move back to his old home this fall. The community extends him a cordial welcome. There is very little sickness in the com? munity at present. The farmers are beginning to lay by their crops. This section was visited by a wind-Btorm last Monday. Very little rain fell. I have heard of no damage done. YAWOur. Plexcetowu Itonie. I bad the pleasure of attending J. B. Harris's school exhibition Saturday even? ing, June 21st, at Prince's Academy. The young- men, ladies, little boys and girls all acquitted themselves well, and deserve the praise of their teacher and parents. I think there were about five hundred per? sons present, and good order prevailed, which Bpeaks well for any community. Mr. D. J. Owen, the Superintendent of the Beaverdam Sabbath School, and Capt. A. M. Guyton, the Superintendent of the Friendship Sabbath School, are now preparing a programme for a grand anni? versary celebration of the two schools to? gether. The full programme will be pub? lished as soon as completed. And, Mr. Editor, we extend to you a cordial invita? tion to be present with us on said occasion. Well, Mr. Editor, I attended the cam? paign meeting at Anderson, and I want to Bay right here that there is no man that b?a a higher regard for the farmers of our country-than I_dcK_and I wish them well in all their undertakings, arid ifthey will work as hard and stick to the work~?fthfi_ farm as the merchant, lawyer and doctor does to their work, they would get along a great deal better, and we would hear less talk about oppression. I will ven? ture the assertion that a largo majority of the farmers of this County do not work more than two-thirds of their time on the farm, while the merchant, doctor, lawyer and cotton mill bands can be found at their work almost every day of their lives, SundayB excepted. If they would leave their places of business, they would soon have no business to look after. Farmers, stick to your farms the whole year through and practice economy at home, and begin to sweep at your own door and don't try to put your shortcomings on other people. If the farmer ever gets help he must first learn to help himself, and this he can do by making what he con? sumes at home. This, in my opinion, is the secret to the whole matter. I hear most of the farmers say they want the Sub-Treasury bill to pass. How in the world will this bill, if passed, be of any benefit to us farmers of the South? Where will we get our flour, corn and bacon from when the Northwestern far? mer has it stored away for higber prices, forming a trust on the very necessaries of life?something tbat we of the South are obliged to have. It will then be "big pig, little pig, root hog or die." I don't blame any man, or set of men, to do the very best they can for themselves, for he that does not provide for his own household has denied the faith and is worse thau an in? fidel. Mr. Tillman is for high tariff, un? less! he has changed his mind since the meeting at Ridge way, when he replied to Mr. Youmans, and if he is for high tariff he is not the man for" Governor of South Carolina.

Field, President of the Club, were unanimously adopted: Whereas, tbe people of our State, and especially the politicians, and most of tho newspapers, are waging (in our opinion) an unnecessary war in the shape of a heated campaign ; and, whereas, the true, native-born Carolinians are all Demo? crats, not only from principle, but of necessity ; and, whereas, no good is being or can be accom? plished by the style of wrangling, abuse and ap Eeals to the prejudices of our people, such as has con resorted to on various occasions In the Cam? paign meetings ; and, whereas, It is not only dis? graceful, but detrimental to tho best interests of the Democratic party and to our people generally. As true Democrats we desire to express our disap? proval and contempt for such stylo of conducting a campaign ; and, whereas, wo concede to every man the right to his honest opinion, and would accord every man a respectful hearing; and, whereas, we think it unwise to organize Demo? cratic Clubs in tho interest of any particular man or set of men, other than the choice of the entire party, when expressed by tho party in the way provided for by tho Constitution and rules of the : party, and as peace and quiet is best, and should be encouraged and worked for by all, thcroforo, be [ Resolved, That we, the Pelzer Democratic Club j of Anderson County, S.

Resolved, That we favor free, uninterrupted speech, und a respectful hearing of every man, and an honest, quiet, respectful difference of opinion. Resolved, That in our opinion, many of the pa? pers in the State, and many correspondents, as well as some of the campaign speakers, are stir? ring up strife and creating prejudlco that Is not calculated to accomplish any good but much harm to our party and people. Resolved, That we express tho hope that out of the confusion and excitement cxistlngin our State at present, tbat peace and prosperity may come to all, and that in due time we may unite upon and elect to the various offices tho best suited and truest sons of Carolina.
