B. Wynne, of Gads den, Ala , have been spending a few days with Hon. B. F. Cray ton's family, near the city.

Star speaks thus of a young lady who formerly lived in An? derson : "Miss Mamie F. Wickliffe was lately tendered the position of co-principal of Hartwell High School. We have the most profound respect for the judgment of the Trustees of that school, and their no? tion in this matter proves they deserve it; but Elberton also is fully aware of Miss Wickliffe's value as a teacher, and she will remain with us. Gentlemen of Hart well, we are sorry you are disappointed, but you will have to look elsewuero for a teacher." - Married, on Thursday, 24lh inst,atS o'clock p. m., in.Chicago, Mr. Robert N. Clarke, formerly of Anderson, and Miss Louise Thaine. Immediately alter the ceremony Mr. Clarke and his lovely bride left Chicago and arrived in Anderson Sat? urday evening, and will spend two weeks here with the former's mother.

Mr. Dickens is a ?'oung man, and comes to Anderson high y recommended. He is a very polite, courteous gentleman, and from our short acquaintance with him we believe he will do his utmost to continue to make tho Chiquola one of the best hotels in the State. Mr. B. W. Sperry, who has been the manager of the Chiquola since it was opened, has rented the Brown House at Macon, Ga., and will at once take charge of it. Mr. Sperry is a very popular land? lord, and a most olever, courteous gentle? man, and during his stay in Anderson has made a host of friends, who regret to see him leave Anderson. The Intelligencer joins his many friends in wishing him health and posperity in his new home. Last Saturday was a rather unfavorable day for a pic nie, but nevertheless a pretty fair crowd were at Cliukscales' Mill, in Martin Township. The candidates had been invited, and several of them were on hand. About 11 o'cloek Capt. R. B. A. Robinson called the crowd together, and the following gentlemen addressed them. Hon. E. B. Murray, candidate for Con? gress ; J. W. Bowden, candidate for Leg? islature ; J. Belton Watson, candidate for it is not yet known what. This brought us to about 2 o'clock, and the next thing was dinner. After everybody had been well cared for and rested, the people were again called together by Capt. Robinson, and the following speakers introduced: C. Wardlaw, as a candidate for School Commissioner, and Joshua W. Ashley as a candidate for the House of Representa? tives. Mr. Ashley made a rousing speech, and was cheered to the echo. The Greenville District Conference con-1 vened in Greenville last Thursday and continued in session through Sunday, Bishop Duncan presiding. The meeting throughout was a very interesting one. Rev. C. B. Smith, of Anderson, preached the opening sermon. The annual report of Rev. J. Walter Dickson, the Presiding Elder, was mcst encouraging to all mem? bers of '..ho body. Among other interest? ing matters the report showed that there wore in tho district three stations, two missions and thirteen circuits, in all of which there has boeu a most encouraging increase. The increase in membership in the different churches was 1,000 in the past three years. The present membership is 8,000. The number of Conversions since tfre last District Conference was shown to havo beon about 500. Tbo amount paid fur tbo support of pastors has increased from $7,C0O to $3,000 in tbo past three yoars. The interest in Sunday Schools and missions was shown to have increased very steadily and to tbo encouragement of all concerned. It was resolved to build a District Parsonage, and Anderson was se? lected as tho location for it. The following gentlemen were elected Trustees for the Parsonage: W. IL Nardin, A. H. Curoton, J. I. Hummond, S. J. Iving, J. C. Gantt, M. N. Sitton, W. A. Lesley, J. W. Quillain aud G. W. Sullivan. The next meeting of the Conference will be held at William? ston.

Loveretfc and Col. John B. Patrick, after which a sumptuous repast was served in a way to insure everybody's getting enough. The people then enjoyed themselves for an hour or more, after which they reassembled at the stand, and were addressed by Col. Patrick, C. Ward law and Hon. E. B. Murray. Good order prevailed all day, and all the speakers had the attention of the crowd. It is, in? deed, a' pleasure to meet with these veter? ans, and no one except an old soldier can appreciate the pleasure enjoyed by the members of tho Company. These meet? ings should be kept up, and the young people should learn to take an interest in them. The meeting will be hold next year at the Carswell Institute, in Hall Town? ship, thie County. The following gentle? men constitute the committee of arrange? ments: Messrs. J. W. McPhail, J. T. Hanna, Ab. J. Hall, J. J. Finley, J. O. McAdama, J. B. Loverettand J. P. Tucker. Long may the Survivors live, and may their influence over the young men of their acquaintance and association inspiro them to be real soldiers in life's battles. Centennial at Good Hope. The members of Good Hopo (Presbyte? rian) Church propose celebrating on Sat? urday, August 9th, their one hundredth anniversary. A very interesting pro? gramme has been arranged for the occasion.

Waltors, who lived in tho Storeville soction of the County, was dead. Early that morning Mrs. Walters entered his room and called him to get up. Not receiving any response she again called him, and, again not get? ting any response, she approached his bed, and was shocked to find him dead. For several years past he had been afflicted with that terrible disease, cancer of the iacc. It had been slowly eating its way, and some time during Friday night it reached a vein on his face, which produced a hemorrhage aud caused his death. When his wife approached him his head was in a pool of blood, and it is supposed he died without a struggle. Col. Walters was, perhaps; oue of the best known citizens in Anderson County. He was born and reared in Hart County, Ga. When about 18 years of age he came to Anderson County to take charge of a school at New Prospect Church. He con? tinued to teach school there and at other places in the County for several years. His education was limited, but possessing considerable enemy and a very bright mind, ho studied hard, and in a few years was given a professorship in Johnson Fe? male University, in Anderson, which was then recognized as one of the leading in? stitutions in the State. In the meantime Col. Walters had been licensed to preach by the Baptist denomination, and he serv? ed several Churches in the County. When the war came on he entered tho service of his country as a private in the Fourth S. C. Regiment. His health failing he returned home, but soon returned to the army and served as a Chaplain. After the war he re? turned to Anderson aud founded the An? derson Appeal and the South Carolina Bap tist. These papers were published for a year or two, aud the former was consoli? dated with the Intelligences, which ho and Col. J. A. Hoyt published for some time, when Col. Walters retired from jour? nalism. For a number of years Col. Walters served most faithfully as Moderator of the Saluda Baptist Association, and was a most interesting and able preacher, doing good work for the Church whenever an opportunity presented itself. He possessed a very genial, courteous disposition, and made a friend of every acquaintance. In fact, he was at one time one of the most popular citizens of the County, and was held in high esteem by his friends. To himself he was his worst enemy. For the past twelve years or more he had not en? gaged in the work of the Church, but had quietly led the life of a farmer. Since the organization of the Alliance in this Coun? ty, he had served as County Secretary, and made a most efficient officer. Now that our departed friend has passed "o'er the river," let us throw the mantle of charity over his faults, and remember the many good deeds he has done in years gone by. ? Col. Walters was 54 years of age, and a wife and six children survive him. His remains Were interred in the First Creek Churchyard on Sunday, Rev. R. D. Smart conducting the funeral services. City Primary Election, August 7th. A joint meeting of the Executive Com? mittees of the three city Democratic Clubs was held last Monday afternoon to consid? er the matter of holding a primary election for a ticket for Mayor and Aldermen. A quorum being present, Maj.-P. K. McCul ly was called to tho chair, and A. S. Tcdd requested to act as Secretary. After an informal interchange of views, it was re? solved to hold a primary election, under the plurality rule, on Thursday, AuguBt 7th, in tho Court House, from, the hour of 9 a. m, to 4 p. m,; the managers to consist of a board of three, one from each Club ; the regulations to be those usually govern? ing Democratic primary elections, so far as applicable to a city election, the Chair? men or acting Chairmen of the several committees to construe and formulate such rules and report to another joint meeting of the executive committees.

The following ticked composed of our bost material, representing the various sec? tions and interests of our city, is submited to the Democratic voters at our approach? ing primary, These gentlemen have not sought the offices for which they are suggested, but we are confident that they will serve if elected. These names are not suggested by any faction or clique. If this ticket is chosen, the gentlemen composing it will certainly look to the general wellfare if our people, and main? tain and push forward every enterprise worthy of their support and encourage? ment : For Mayor?G. F. Tolly. Aldermen?P. K. McCully, A- G. Means, Jr., J. R. Vaudiver, Dr. A. C. Strickland, C. C. Langston, B. F. Moss. Respecifully submitted, &TIZKKB. A Card. Mr. Editor : It is being circulated over the County that I have beon brought out for the Legislature by the anti-Tillman men, and I write this to denounce the report as false. I understand why this re? port is started. It is done to injure me with my Tillman friends. I was first sug? gested and urged to run by as strong Till? man men as there are in tho County, and I want it distinctly understood that I make the race as a Tillman Democrat. Of course I have some friends among tho anti-Till? man men and would appreciate their sup? port, as no one desires to be defeated after entering the race. Respectfully, J. W. Ashley. It is wonderful how cheap you can buy anything at Fiynn's. He is selling an immense quantity of goods. All the la? dies say, that wo have seen, that his prices aro vory much below what you have to pay elsewhere for the same goods. Notes F:om Townvllle.

Miss Lizzie Brock, of Honea Path, is visiting Mrs. W. E. Campbell. Mr. L. L. McGee, of Darlington, for? merly of this place, is spending a few days in Belton. Two youthful daughters are with him. Miss Jeannetto Austin; of Williamston, is visiting relatives here. Misses Merrill, two daughters of Mr. S. Merrill, of Columbia, are visiting Miss Georgia McDavid. Mr. J. T. Itice is happy in the possession of another descendant. It is a boy of promising proportions. Mr. W. M. Kay, of Greenville, who has spent the last year with us, returned to his home Monday. Rev. R. H. Smith, of Gainesville, Ga., who has been spending the summer at this place, is now assisting Rev. G. M. Rogers in conducting a succes3fui series of religious meetings at .Dorchester Church. Mrs. Manly, wife of Dr. Chas. Manly, spent tho first half of the week with Bel? ton friends. Among the Andersonians who were no? ticed on our streets this weok were Messrs. A. 3. Towers, D. H. Russell, L. P. Smith, W. P. Cox, W. L. Mauldin, C. Wardlaw, E. H. Poore and J. M. Payne. The Democratic Convention of the Third Congressional District mot here last Friday. After ordering a primary for the nomination of our next Congressman, ns reported elsewhere ih these columns, the ' delegates returned to their homes on the afternoon trains, such being our superior railroad accessibility. The Sunday School Association of An? derson County, notwithstanding the very unfavorable weather, held an interesting and well-attended session Friday, Satur? day and Sunday in the Baptist Church. The programme was well arranged and admirably carried out. The Missionary Society of Little Glean? ers gave an ice cream festival Tuesday evening of last week, at which quite a handsome snm was realized. The affair, which was managed by Miss Eva Stringer, gave rise to a considerable amouut of un? mitigated enjoyment, Belton is now in the midst of a fairly promising revival, which began Monday in the Baptist Church. Dr. Manly the pastor is assisted in conducting the meet? ing by Rev. L. M. Rice, of Greenville. The series of services will continue for several days._* Honea Path Items. Mr. H. S. Shumate and family have been visiting relatives in Laurens. Miss Lula Shirley has been sick for some days, but we hope she will soon be well again. We notice that the people of the Broad mouth community have cleaned off.thuir cemetery and churchyard. Some suoh work is very much needed about Honea Path. A number of our people attended the Sunday School Convention. Mr. B. M. Cheatham is teaching sohool at Saluda. Mr. C. E. Burts i3 teaching school at Cleveland. Mrs. W. A. Davis is visiting relatives, near Piedmont. The meeting at the Baptist Church closed last Wednesday. Meeting began at the Presbyterian Church last Sunday, and will continue a few days. There will be a meeting of the Honea Path Democratic Club next Saturday af? ternoon. We understand that Mr. J. W. Ashley will be a candidate for the Legislature. He is well known over the County, and will no doubt get a strong support. , Mr. J. R. Donnald is preparing to build a warehouse for the Alliance store. We have spoken to many farmers in re? gard to the sub-Treasury bill and have not found one in favor of it. They realize that a bill to benefit the farmers of tbe Northwest does not mean a bill to benefit the farmers of the South. One farmer said that it might be a benefit, as it would raise the price of provisions to such an extent as to compel farmers to raise their own sup? plies. When the bridge at Holiday's Ford is built, it will connect Honea Path with a fine farming country just across the river, and doubtless greatly increase the trade of the town. No small town on the C. d; G, R. R, now has a better trade than Honea Path, and with this addition she will probably enter on even a more prosperous career. Tho population is now almost three times what it was ten years ago, and witli a people working together, with a flourishing trade and a fine school, we hope to see even a greater increase in tbe next ten years. There is more building going on in Honea Path now than at any time in its past history, and a number of others are expecting to commence building soon, Let the good work roll on, and let others come in, and join with us. We will make you room and will certainly give you a warm welcome. Pop. Andersonvillo Items. Mr. R. V. Dyar came <*ery near losing his lifo one day quite roceutly in his well? the well, as we mentioned some time ago, having gas in it. He was was down in it preparing for a blast, when he began to feel tbe effects of tbe gas. He gave the signal and was drawn up, but on reaching tbe top he was found to be* unconscious and in the act of falling back, when ho was caught. The well is about fifty-two feet deep. It was a very narrow escape, and if Providence had not interfered, ws shudder to think what would have beeu the consequences. We feel for Mr. Dyar in his misfortune. He is a hard-working and industrious young man, who has spent a great deal on tbe well, and will have to give it up. Messrs. Wm. Orr and Joseph P. Dodd, of West Union, have been visiting rela? tives in this section. We have often heard of tangled up bu? siness, but we venture to say we have one of the worst coses in this section. Mr. J. N. Wright settled a place a few years ago, building a good dwelling and all necessary outbuildings, and joining the land of Mr. S. T. McAdams. In locating tbe line, Mr. Wright found that his barn and well wero on Mr. McAdams' land, and his dwelling-is; just over the lino about twelve feet. Rev. J. T. W. Vernon will commence a protracted meeting at this Church noxt Saturday. It is to ba hoped much good will be accomplished. Let the Church be revived, and our thanks to God arise for the blessings that have been bestowed upon the people. We are afraid His bless? ings have not been appreciated as they should be. This section has been wonderfully blessed with good seasons, and the crop prospects are very promising. Mr. J. H. Price is running his saw mill early and late to supply tho demand for lumber, and will, in the near future, be prepared for ginning. Miss S. J. McLain has re-opened a school at Shady Grove Academy. Wo disagree with "Jumbo" ^"every? thing. Don't think he is the man to rep? resent Anderson County in the Legisla? ture, but if we are to have a representative from the Intelligencer's correspon? dents let it be some other man. And we suggest that man "Shanks," provided ho will come out on the Tillman platform. Hurrah for Shanks, Tlilman and reform. "Bob's" handsome face is all smiles and a yard wide. It is a girl.

An eight-weeks' drought in this imme? diate section was brought to a close on last Thursday by a general good rain. The early corn can be little benefited by the rain, and cotton has suffered consider? able damage. The re union of Company "F" of 21th Regiment, which came off at Cook's on last Wednesday was very much enjoyed. A large crowd was present from adjoining Counties and Georgia, and the best of order prevailed throughout the day. The morning exercises were devoted to short speeches from members of the Company. Qen. Capers, who was anxiously expected to bo present, failed to reach there, which was a great disappointment to his old friends end soldiers. At a private meeting of the Company in the afternoon, we learn that it was decided to hold their next annual re-union at Carswell Institute, to which the entiro Regimont would bo invited. This Company volunteered in January, 1JIG2, and served until the close of the war. Their roll from beginning to end footed up ono hundred and sixty or more. Of that number, twenty-six were killed in battle, forty-one died of disease while in service, and a goodly number have died sinco the war, still leaving sixty odd living, thirty-four of whom were present at this their fourth re-union. The afternoon was given over to the candi? dates, and Messrs. E. B. Murray and C. Wardlaw responded in very interesting talks. Maj. Murray dwelt at some length on present, national issues. Though he did not answer all the questions of the Alliance catechism just a3 they are re? quired, still some of the people were led to think of some of these questions in quite a different light to that they had hitherto done, and we are satisfied he has done nothing to defeat bis chances to be our next representative in Congross. Prof. McElroy has purchased a Jot near tho Academy, and Is now engaged in the erection of a neat cottago thereon. The people are now hopeful that he is a fixture in their midst. Mr. and Mrs. Jas. W. Sherard are off on a visit to Jefferson, Jackson County, Qa., to the brother of the former, Capt. S. W. Sherard, who moved from this neigh? borhood several years ago. On Saturday evening, 12th inst., during a little thunder storm, the Academy at Barnes' Station was struck by lightning. The damage to the building is not very great, and fortunately no one was in the building. The Alliance had beon in .ses? sion there a short while before. About two weeks ago a young merchant at Cook's drove off from said place, horse feed in buggy, and accordiug to evidence he has not yet returned. Hope nothing serious has happened. No reward offered as yet. We are glad to see that the two factions in this County are getting so much more tolerant one towards the other. In one Club where the Tillmanites are in the ma? jority, they concluded not to give the anties a delegate to the County Conven? tion, but they would be charitable enough to allow them to nominate their man and vote for him if they choose. Come to the Centennial on Saturday, August 9th., at Good Hope. ? Lebanon Items. Rain has again come, and the farmers have put up their long faces and put on their smiles It seems that this is a sickly season of the year. Most everybody complains of being sick, but this rain will put them in good healtli. The crops cf this section are looking fine, except corn?it is fired very bad. Mr. W. W. Smith has a piece of fine corn down in hia bottoms, but the niuskrat is playing havoc with it. As tho old negro says: "They keep on continuing taking it." Pic nics are very numerous in this sec? tion, and the tramps have had a golden opportunity of getting filled. Mr. B. J. Smith will, I expect, start for Texas before long. If he does we wish him a pleasant trip.and a speedy return. Lots of visiting between relatives of this section. Rev. Carswell is conducting a meeting at Lebanon this week, and we hope he will do a great good before he leaves. Prof. Johnson is having a pretty full school now. All the patrons I believe like l im very well. Not bragging on my Sunday School, but Lebanon is unsurpassed in good music and good behavior. Miss Corrie Hutch? inson, our organist, is an excellent player and has a sweet voice. Mr. B. L. M. Waters, who has been spending the lost three months in Ala? bama, has, we are glad to SBy, returned home. He says he don't like Alabama much. A serious incident occurred near here not long ago. A young man went to visit his girl and she kicked him. He has had a sore throat ever since. During this wet spell Boss has been tearing rags pretty rapidly. He thinks if the girls won't have him he will just pitch in and marry anyhow. The people around here have about quit discussing political subjects, and have gone to talking about something that they understand. Good idea, I think. Monk. A Suggestion. Messrs.

Morris, Newark, Ark., says: "Was down with Abscess of Lung, and friends and physi? cians pronounced me an Incurable Con? sumptive.
