has a small dock of sheep of a cross
between the Southdown and some other
breed, which are admired by every person
who has seen them. 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.

Mrs. Lillie A. Barr, the beloved wife of
Mr. W. F. 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

of the young, the infirmities of the aged

The session of 18S9 and 1890 of Prof.

on Thursday of last week with an exami

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?

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.

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.

A Caxd. From the County Commissioners.
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.

Jumlio on the Situation.
Mb. Emtor: They say that Peter's wife's
mother is sick with "the fever, and I am
awfully afraid she will not recover soon,
and if Peter doesn't call in medical aid at
once the old gal is bound to die out in Sep?
tember if not before. Pbor'thing, so' sick
with that fatal disease?political leprosy?
that has carried away so many of our good
men, and will make a. clean shucking of j
the balance of. the invalids in September.
Oh, my country, how often we would have
gathered you all under our wings and ye
would not. I think it would be well for
Peter to call in a consulting physician just
at this time, and let him make a diagnosis
of the case. Poor old gal, I am afraid she
will blink out pretty soon unless she gets
help, and that quick. Let's call Dr. B. R.
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.

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.
