Mr; M. B.

A few days ago he sheared eleven of the sheep, from which he secured forty-four pounds of wool, one sheep alone yielding, eight pounds. He has shown us a sample or the wool, which is certainly very pretty and fine. The fleece measures a foot in length. Mr. I Richardson thinks there is money in a small flock, but is doubtful whether a large flock would pay. The County Teachers' Institute began its session here Monday, 7th inst., under the direction of Prof. C. H. Albert, of Bloorasburg, Pa.

Barr, died at her home in this city last Thursday, at about 12 o'clock. Her taking away was very sudden, she having been ill only about twenty-four hours. The news of her sudden death spread rapidly over the city, and was a great shock to her numerous friends and acquaintances. Mrs. Barr was born at Pendleton, but moved to Anderson with her parents when a little girl, and has always resided here. Early in life she joined the Presbyterian Church, and throughout her life was a most consistout Christian. In 18G7 she married Mr. W. F. Barr, and by this union she leaves six obildrep to cherish, her memory. Mrs. Barr was in tbe 44tb year of her age, and possessed a native disposition of gentle? ness and purity. Naturally retiring and i modest, sue was ever ready for any duty I which conscience pointed out. As daugh? ter and sister, she- was ever kind, consid ! erate and helpful; as wife and mother, she was most tender and affectionate; and a3 a friend, sho was most sympathetic aud loving. Her bright, cheerful djsposir tion led her always to work on tho bright sid'e pf pvefy onp'1 and ljep warni,' JoVing heart made her Sympathize with the joys of the young, the infirmities of the aged and tue abrrows of tho beroaved. She will be sadly missed in tho Church she loved, so well and for whi?? shty wbrkecj so pdfnfuily, ? ?rid- 'hi the community where she. "has piade so 'many and such 8tfpn? [friends.

The session of 18S9 and 1890 of Prof. McEiroy's school, in Dark Corner, closed on Thursday of last week with an exami nation of the glasses, a pic nie dinner, and two addresses in the afternoon by Mr. Galloway, of Due West, and Mr. D. H. Russell. There was a large.number of the citizens of that community present, mani? festing their interest in this school, which is one of the best in the County. Arrange? ments have been made with Prof. McEl roy for next year, and every indication is that I ho advantages and facilities of the school will be increased. Ono thing we were very glad to observe, and that was tho deep"interest taken in the school by the parents of tho neighborhood. Crops ate looking well in the lower part of the County, but I hey need rain. The billowing named prominont stock? men and farmers'of Pickens, Oconee and .Anderson Counties have just applied to tho Secretary'of State-for permission to organize a Corporated Stock Company, by tho name of "Tbe Farmers' Sun Pub? lishing Company," for the purpose of publishing a first-c'ass weekly agricultu? ral newspaper at Pendleton, S. C. Names of corporators: J. C. Stribling, J.C. Wat? kins. J. Earle Lewis, J. B. Douthit, John W. Shelor; J. P. Glenn, J. M. Glenn, E. S. Griffin, B. Harris and D. K. Norris. The paper is to be published in the inter-, est of-tbe Agricultural College, Experi? ment Stations, Alliance, Grange, Farmers' Societies and the general farmer and stockmen. The capital will be five thou I sand dollars, in shares of $25 each\ There; is also a move now" on foot to induce tho Alliance to consent to a consolidation of their paper (The Cotton Plant) with this Company, which, if accomplished, will give the farmers of this State the strongest 'agricultural paper over published in South Carolina, and as able corps of writ? ers as could be desired. . Important Ruling of the Board ol Soper vlt ors of Registration. An immense crowd was in the city last Monday, anxious to register. It was gen? erativunderstood throughout the whole . State, and no one in this County thought Otherwise,, that Monday would be the last day for tbe-registcring of "thoso who came of age since last-general -election, or who bad moved into the State since then. However, the Supervisor received official notice that the first day of July, and not the first Monday in July, was the last op? portunity for such. Consequently, having examined the law and come to that conclu? sion, Mr. Brown refused to register any except those coming of age since che first day of July inst. From this ruling of the Supervisor arrangements were at once made by Messrs. Murray,.-Prince and Wardlaw for an appeal by those who were thus de? prived of the privilege of registering. About sir hundred appeals were taken un? der the advice and direction of the attor? neys. On last Tuesday morning the lull Board of Supervisors of Registration consisting of the Supervisor and Messrs. F. T. Wilhite and J. D. Maxwell, Assistant Supervisors?met, the appeals having been served by the Sheriff on Mr. Brown, they were properly before the Board. Messrs. Murray, Prince and Wardlaw appeared for the appellants. The issues involved in all the appeals were argued together, and con? sidered by the Board. After argumentand deliberation by the Board they took a re? cess until live o'clock in the afternoon, to give time for .careful consideration. At 5 o'clock the Board met," when an order or resolution that had been prepared by the Attorneys was presented to the Board by Mr. Wardlaw, and, after consid? eration, signed by Messrs.! Wilhite and Maxwell, which gave it binding force. This order overrnlos tho Supervisor,, and instructs him toissmr certificates of regis? tration to no many of the appellants as have come of age,, or moved into the State since the iast general election, and are oth? erwise qualifiedi'to vote.: - ' ' Let it be "understood that no one need j apply for registration under this rule, ex- i cept those who appealed, and none of them except those who * have arrived at the age of twenty-one, or moved into the State sitice'tfce last gtneral election. But such I as come within tbe rule should apply at joiico and get their certificates. Do not ! delay, as delays are dangerous. Helton Items. Last Sunday was a day of impressive services at the Baptist Churoh. In the morning Rev. Chas. Manly; D. D., preach? ed to a large and intelligent audience. Tho services were opened by the choir's singing "Somewhere." The minister an? nounced as his text Pbillippians 4?5 : ' "Let your moderation be known nnto all men. The Lord is at hand." Considering I the political excitement of the country it >;was a very timely sermon. The Doctor began by showing that one gets beside himself when excited; and that a calm, dispassionate consideration of a subject is : necessary tb'a virtuous conclusion. Some j think moderation is pusillamily, and I say tho person who possesses it lacks in .manhood. On tbe contrary it is the only , thing tbatis couducive to the permanent ? good of our cause. If a cause is right we will not'depend' for its success upon ex? citement.. Truth' will make its way into the minds of the people without excite? ment. Moderation is necessary to a dig? nified self-respectability. Those who deal in extravagant expressions, and with vehe? mence have tbem to retract or to modify, j Every one should weigh well his words, and theo be able to sustain every position taken. He then spoke of tbe evil of the lack of reverence for, and the wholesale abuse of, those !in official capacity. Rev? erence for thoise in authority does not exclude a considerate examination of official affairs. Our great error is that we are not careful in choosingour officers, and after they have been clothed ? with divine authority, as w?ll as with human power, we take occasion tiien to lcbuke them. Difference of political opinion should not bring about any rupture of friendship. No party triumph can pay for the loss of friendly confidence. It was a masterly effort, and it is hoped will do much good. Tho young people of our town had quite an enjoyable lawn party at Mrs. A. L. Brown's last Friday evening. Miss Georgia Bertha, of Mariou, is visit? ing Miss Georgia McDavid. Mis3 Annie Ferguson, of Greenville, is visiting Miss Mattie Brown. There is an ominious lull in the political storm in this section. But you may always depend on the conservative spirit ofBelton. W. E: ?. Notes Front TowuvlUo. Miss Adelia Wells, an estimable young lady of tbe Double Springs neighborhood, is just recovering from a severe spell of fever. Mr. S. B. Brownloe has been sick for ; some time of fever, but is improving. The grand old oaks which, for fifty years, had adorned the plaza at Fair Play, were destroyed by a wind storm last weok. Aside from one or two outhouses blown down, no other damage was done. The best yield of wheat so far reported is that produced by Mr. W. J. Wooton. Ho sowed six and one-half bushels on six acres, and harvested forty-four. The fer? tilization was eight bushels of cotton seed and one hundreds pounds guano per aero.

As tho readers of the Intelligencer have never read anything from this sec? tion, I will endeavor to write something. The weekly visits of the Intklligen ceb are highly enjoyed by every man, woman and child in this section.

To the Editor Anderson Intcttigcnccr: ?'Hump," in your paper of the 26th ulti? mo, asks the Board of County Commis? sioners to explain the facts connected with the ferry over Seneca Eiver, at Sloan's old ferry. This is a reasonable request, and we wiiI"coniply therewith with pleasure. . The County Commissioners are required by law to keep Open and to keep in repair all the public roads in tho County, and no public road can be closed except in the manner provided by the. Statutes. When the present Board of' County Commissioners was elected, and hud enter? ed upon thedischargo of their duties, tbey found the public road leading to and from Sloan's old ferry cut in two by Seneca River, the iron bridge over it a snort time before having been washed away. Strictly speaking it was our duty to build another bridge in the place of the one washod away, so as to keep this public highway open for travel, but we did not think the County, with her finances in the condition they were in at the time, could afi'ord the expense of another bridge, espe? cially as the iron bridge then lying de? stroyed in the river-had only in part been paid for. Having reaohed this conclusion a petition, signed by a number of respec? table citizens, was presented to the Board asking ns if we did not feel able to build another bridge, to at least secure for those citizens in the Pork desiring to come to the Court House and to market free pas? sage over a private ferry in about one hundred yards of the bridge site. We thought this to be a very reasonable prop? osition, and we did make a temporary, arrangement with the owner of the ferry to pass all citizens of the County coming from the Fork or going to the Fork on business free. We thought then, and we still think, that these people had a right to travel this, public road, and if they could not travel it because of the want of a bridge, either a bridge or some other means of crossing should be provided for them. Now, Mr. Editor, it may have been wrong in us to provide for crossing this river by boat, instead, of erecting a new bridge, but we will leave it to the taxpay? ers of the County to determine whether we should have built a new bridge, or whethor what wo did was not the best thing we could have done under the cir? cumstances. In conclusion, we will only add that the County has had to pay out but a few dol? lars on account of this arrangement?3ay not more than $35?while the building of a new bridge .would have cost between five and b'xx thousand dollars, according to the character of the bridge built.

Tillman?it seems that he understands the nature of the case pretty well, and I think could treat the case successfully, and they say that he has never lost a single case of J this kind yet. And as Dr. Joseph Enrle, of Sumter County, is before the people, it might .be well enough to have him to call in occasionally and take the old gal's tern Serature, for the fever might rise* up sud enly, and the old critter might bile over and burst. Oh, my country, who can de? liver us from office-seekers and organ grinders. Now, I would advise Dr. TUl? man to take's little medicine after meals, just as a preventalive, for this political leprosy is a contagious disease. And there 19 Dr. Gon^ '.Bratton before the people, offering his professional Service? to the State and the' surrounding neighborhood, but I don't'tjiink he will be able to get his diploma in September, and I would advise him as a friend to retire from the medical fraternity, for he is one of the old-time war doctors, and war medicine don't work off well in time of peace; he might do very well in a case of the grip. Oh, my country, deliver us-from green backers, tramps, and such men as Tom Reed, the Speaker of the House in Washington. Now, Mr. Editor, I want to talk with you about something else. You know that Anderson County is said to be the banner County in the cause of-Democracy, which is true; but I for one am getting tired of doing the voting and, the lower Counties fillingall the State offices. Enough of a ihing is enough, and I can't ?tand things any longer, and if you will just send Jumbo to Columbia he will burst the whole thing up, or we will secede like we did once before, if they did whip us back. Is it possible that. Anderson, Pickens, Oco nee nor Greenville havn't got a man that's competent to make us a good State official ? I can count them by the dozens?good men, as good as there are in the State. Well, what's the matter with the old political ship of the State ? The whole thing has been run and managed by a ring from the lower Counties, and they neyer think of saying turkey to the upper Counties, but it is always buzzard, and I for one have got enough of this buzzard business, and let us see to it that the name of Gen. W. W. Humphreys is placed on the State ticket for Comptroller General. And now, Mr. Editor, if the lower Counties will just let us have representation on the State ticket, and will help us send E. B. Murray to Con? gress, Jumbo will stop quarrelling, and everything will be calm and serene about Piercetown. By the way, we want the Hon. J. P. Glenn, of Slabtown. for our next Senator. What say you, Mr. Glenn ? Let us hear from you at an early day. Ad? dress Jumbo, at Piercetown. Bo mote it be. irours truly, _? _ j Jumiio. An Enjoyable Occasion. Mr. Editor : The people of the Store ville community had an occasion cf spe? cial enjoyment at Cars well Institute on the 24th day of May, 1890, in the way of an entertainment given by Eureka Read? ing Club at that place. To give the plays and characters, and those who personated these characters, would occupy too much of your valuable space. Suffice it to say that each and every person connected with the entertainment acted well their part, and while some, perhaps, done better than others, all done extremely well. Messrs. Tr'owbridges and Miss Mamie Nicholson furnished the music for the occasion, and it is unnecessary to say anything in praise of their performance. All know them too well to need commendation from an hum? ble country soribe. The admission to the entertainment was 25 cents, the object of which was to pay for an organ for the use of the Reading Club and the Sunday School at the Institute. Mr. D. P. Boweii. who was door-keeper, reported that he had received for admission twenty-seven dol? lars and fifty-cents. This showB a gratify? ing result. Some time in the near future the Club propose to have another enter? tainment, to which the Editors of ,our County papers are invited as special guests of Eureka Reading Club. VVellwisher.

Editor: Please allow me 3pacb in your valuable paper to return thanks to friends in Anderson for a purse of ?23.65 that has been collected and now turned over to me by Dr. A. Strickland for the purpose of assisting me in the purchase of a self-propolling $60 tricycle. This tangi? ble kindness is highly appreciated, since it was unexpected and unsolicited on my part. This amount addod to $20 now in my possesuion, given me a few years since by friends in Spartanburg, S. C, for the same purpose, will be supplemented by me as soon as I can, and then you will see me on wheels. Yours truly, Jos. C. Striultno. A Cilnnce at Hartwell, Ga. Eoitors Intelligencer : The pere? grinations of an obscure individual can be of no interest to the public I know; but an indirect reference thereto seems neces? sary in this case as introductory to what' I desire to say of individuals and matters in the "third person plural." Although nearly all . my life of almost two score years has been spent within twenty-five miles of Hartwell, yet my first visit to this charming town is scarce three weeks old. When in my wanderings, I chance to stumble on a town whose social, material, educational and moral excellence is of tho first order, I always feel like pulling off my hat in its honor, and this is my apol? ogy for this obtrusion: Hartwell is not more than thirty-five years old, and her principal growth has been taken on in the past decade, so that with her one thousand population, which is steadily increasing, her various mer? cantile arid industrial enterprises, her fine farming lands and an improving system of tillage, her Churches of the several denomin ations, her school, of which lar? ger town? would justly boast, her bank, whose capital stock is soon to be doubled, her lawyers of superior talent, her array of doctors, whose skill has scared disease from her borders, and her surpassing beauty of- situation, she is one of the brightest stars in Georgia's Northeastern constellation, Perhaps no one agency has contributed more to Hartwell's growth and the devel? opment of Hart County than the Hartwell Sun, one of tbe brightest weeklies in all Georgia. Although the. paper has changed ownership several times since its establishment?fourteen years ago -the helm has been all the while in the guid? ing hand of that prince among newspaper men, John H. MoGill. McGil 1 is accorded the proud distinction of being the boy soldier of Bratton's South Carolina brigade of the Army of Northern Vir? ginia, and wears on his handsome face the scars of battle?a veritable badge of patri? otism. He is a candidate for Legislative honors, and the people of Hart now have an opportunity of showing their apprecia? tion of his pas.t services. "V7. A. D. A Card of Thanks.
