Swi: "We are indebted to our old-time friend Wood Fant for an elegant little book of photographic views of the beautiful and growing city of An? derson, S. C, published by J. A. Wren, photographer.

Tho Postoffice Department has issued o rders for samples of pearl gray postal card board, to be employed in the manu? facture of postal cards for the use of wo? men. The card is to be one-third smaller than that in use at present, and will prob? ably be a much more dainty affair. It may not be large enough for an entire feminine epistle, but it may serve to write a second postscript on after the regular letter has been dispatched, "Thoughts for 8aint and 8inner" is the title of a very interesting little book just published by Rev.

A small admission fee of 10 cents will be charged, and refreshments will be on sale. Those who have contributed refreshments fpr the occasion are request? ed to send them to the College by G o'clock Monday evening5, The first primary election of this year is past, and so far as we have heard, the best' of order prevailed throughout the County. Each man went to his box and voted for the man of his choice, under the circumstances, and allowed every other man to do the same thing. Of course, friend worked lor friend, but in doing so we know of no instance in which he un? dertook to ride over or trample upon the rights or feeling of his fellow-man. Some of the candidates were happy in their suc? cess, while others were disappointed, but no one failed to receive his success or sub? mit to his disappointment with a manly disposition, recognizing that it is the will of the people that must rule and control, and no one should desire to hold an office as a gift from the people, unless he could get it by tbo will of the majority fairly expressed. The Senator, four Represen? tatives, the Treasurer, two County Com? missioners, and the Auditor were elected on the first race, and so declared by tbe Executive .Committee Congressman, School Commissioner, and one County Commissioner arc to be elected to-morrow. In the race for Judge of Probate W. F. Cox got four more votes than Mr. Bur I riss, there being some scattering vote?. A contest was entered by Mr. Rurriss' friends, on the ground that neither one got a majority. The question was referred to a Committee of three member.3 of the Executive Committee. The County Ex? ecutive Committee met Wednesday morn? ing, and this committee of three made its report, declaring that Mr. Cox, in their opinion, had recived a majority of the legal votes cast for the office of Probate Judge, which report was received as infor? mation. The Committee then took up the matter, and, after considerable discus? sion, declared, under section 7 of the rules governing the Democratic primary elec? tion, that Mr. Cox was the regular nomi? nee. The vote of the Committee .'stood 1G to 7 in favor of Mr. Cox. The second pri? mary will take place to-morrow (Friday) at which the people are urged to tum out and give the men of their choice one more vote. "Old Reb" has "passed in his checks" and is no more, his death having occurred on the plantation of his old "boss," Hon. B. F. Crayton, two miles west of the city, last Thursday afternoon. "Old Reb" was the name of an eld mule, and, on account of the little history connected with him, was well known in this section. He served through the war in the Confeder? ate Artillery, and on the night before the surrender was brought to Appomattox with the Artillery. Mr. S. M. Crayton, deceased, who was a member of Rut ledge's Rifles, Gray's Brigade, wbb also there. His horso had given out, and ho was very much worried how he was going to get home. Reporting the fact to one of his superior officers, Mr. Crayton was instructed to take this mule from the Ar? tillery, which he did. Next morning he saddled the mule and started on his long journey home, but before going very far he noticed that the animal needed shoeing badly. Mr, Crayton continued his jour? ney, and every day made an effort to get his mule shod, but was not successful until he readied Williamston, in this County. Here he had the hoofs of bis faithful old friend put in a comfortable condition, and after a few hours' rest, started home, which he reached in due time. The journey from Virginia was a rough one, and "Old Rob," oeing very much like the Confederacy when Mr. Crayton secured him, had not iraproyed in appearance, his ribs showing very plainly. Two days after Mr. Crayton reached homo the Yankee raiders came through Anderson, stealing and carrying off' horses, mules and everything else of any value, but "Old Reb" was so poor and so near worn out they passed him by. At this time "Old Reb" was about twenty years of age. In a short time he was put to work,' and from that time up to a few months ago did his share of farm work. Although more than forty-five years of age, he wus able to eat corn up to the day of Iii? death. In bis latter years "Old Reb" had become a great pet with Mr. Crayton und his family, and when he began to grow feeble he had all the atten? tion possible. As soon as death claimed him, he was given a decent burial. Helton ItoniH. Our town .was thrown into deep sorrow last Thursday on receipt of the news of the death of Mr. L L McGce, which took place at Greenwood. Mr. McGee was the eldest son- of Mr. G. W. McGee, of this place, and resided here until the first of this year, when he moved to Darlington. Ho was a member of a flcurishing mer? cantile firm in that city. About a month ago he came up the country to improve his health, but the germs of typhoid fever, contracted from a wet cellar, had already possessed bis system. Three weeks before his death he was taken down, and, not? withstanding all that medical skill atad loving hands could do, gradually grew worse until his death ou the 21st. His body was brought to Belton Friday morn? ing, and his funeral was held from the Baptist Church Friday afternoon before a large audience. Rev. Ohas. Manlv, D. D.. conducted the services, preaching from St. John 11:28: "The Master is come, and calleth for thee." Mr. McGee was 34 years of age, He was a successful business man, a true citizen, a kind-hearted gen? tleman, and a toying husband. He leaves a wife and three children. His bereaved family has the sympathy of a wide circle of friends. Mr. Ernest McGee, of Chattanooga, Tenn., and Mr. and Mrs. Charley McCul lough, of Darlington, attended the funeral of their brother. The election last Friday passed off with no excitement. The Tillman Club polled 123 votes. When it was organized a few weeks ago they enrolled! 17G names. This makes a shortage of 53. There is a Club not many miles from here that, we are told, sent delegates to the County Conven? tion to represent a membership of 250, and at this election polled 70 votes. What does this mean ? Where is the shortage ? Have the people awoke to the fact that there is another "ring" than the one they have been told about by Capt. Tillman, and that they have been "bamboozled?" Mr. Beatrie Gossett spent several days last week with friends in town. He baa returned from a visit to New York, Bos? ton and other Northern cities. He goes to Anderson this week, where he has been employed as salesman by C. F. Jones & Compan3r. Miss Mattio Brown is visiting in Green? ville. W. E. B. Lebanon Items. Help! help! help is the cry of the far? mer now, and well it might be, for it will be needed very soon. The farmers haye bogan realizing the fruits of their labor. Mr. W. W. Smith has destroyed the de? stroyer of his corn. Ho made a trap, and set with success, for he caught a very large muskrat in it. Mr. J. R. Thompson & Co. are ready for making molasses, and I advise all that havo cane who live near enough to carry it to them, for they are well prepared for the business. I have been requested to say a few words to the Commissioner in regard to having the creeks cleaned out, especially Three-and-Tweuty. It steems that this creek needs cleaning out and nobody to do it. I, myself, think it should be done. There are various reasons why it should be done. One is, that if it is not done, it will perhaps cause a great deal of sick? ness, and another is that cattle can live better if it is done. You may say it's done cleaned out. Well, it may have been cleaned out once, but please remem? ber that one cleaning won't do always. There are people from all over the County who come to this creek to fish and sein, and on account of so much water in the way they cannot get to the right fishing ground. You, Mr. Commissioner, may come up here to Gsh some time, and if the creek is not cleaned ycu may get sorter sick, or perhaps fall down aver a big log and hurt your shin. Now, if you don't see to this, will the "Board of Health," please take this in hand ? Now, a few words to the good people of Lebanon: Will you oldor members Slease take more interest in the Sunday chool? If you don't, how do you expect for the younger ones to? Aud some of you please quit acting ao much like a hypocrite. Some of you are as ill as a hor? net while at home, and wheu you get abroad?well, you are as sweet as mo? lasses candy. Now, I dou't think it will do much good for them to go to Sunday School if they aro going to act that way. Let this hit who it may. I don't meau to hurt any one's feelings, for if you will quit this way of doing, your feelings will feel better. Miss Janie Fatterson, who has been quite sick for the last few days is, we are glad to say, slowly recovering. Mr. Griffin Wallace, who has been sick for the last two months, is able to be out again, bnt he is vory weak yet. I hope he will soon gain his former strength and health. Mr. W. P. Holland, who has been spending a few months in Texas, has, we are glad to say, returned home. He don't like Texas as woll as he thought he did. The watermelon crop of thin section Is very slim on account of uot being vory many planted. Campmeeting will begin at Sandy Springs before long, and I want to say to all, let your hearts be open to all religious subjects and above all, when you come bring your baskots full of pound cake and fried chicken. Monk. A Book for Ginuers, with printed head? lines, for salo by G. W. Fant & Son; [From the News and Charier of August 20.] THE NORRIS SLANDER. His Old Friends In Orangebnrg Testify tu His High Character. To the Editor of the News and Courier: In your issue of August 15 appeared a special from Greenville, in which your correspondent repeats a story to the effect that "Capt. D. K. Norria was forced to leave Orangoburg County in consequence of immoral conduct." Now we, the un? dersigned, old neighbors and acquaint? ances of Capt. D. K. Norris, among whom he was born and reared, deeply regret and deplore that such base and unfounded rumors should be circulated through the respectable press of the state to the injury of one of her best citizens, take this occa? sion, unsolicited by any one, save our sense of right and justice to our old neigh? bor, to denounce and deny, and pro? nounce unqualifiedly false, any and ail such base slanders. We have known Capt. D. K. Norris all his life, and a more honorable, upright and puro citizen Orangeburg Co'unty has never reared, and inatead of being "forced" to leave thia locality it was with great regret and a deep sense of our love for him to sever his association from us and remove to Ander? son County. E. L. DANTZLER, P. M., S. P. WELLS, J. F. FELDER, H. W. RHAME, W. L. STOUTAMIRE, J. S. HART, W. J. AVINGER. Vance's, S. C, August 18, 1890. To all whom it mag concern: The tele? grams and statements made to the effect that I had changed my position on the sub-Treasury bill, and now oppose Col. Norris, are slanderous, false, and without foundation. I shall stand by my colors. A. C. LATIMER. Bclton, S. C, August 23, 1890. Honea Path. - In a difficulty which occurred near Saludaon last Saturday, Bill Smith cut and severely wounded Bill Maddox. It is thought that Maddox will recover. Mr. W. A.

Mr. William Lawless, of Camden, S. C, is visiting relatives near here. Not long ago tbere was found in the Sa luda River, near Holland's ford, an infant child. It was evidently put there to de? stroy it. I would like to say I am not in favor of the sub-treasury bill, and it has been said that bald-headed persons are persons of] much sense. If this be true I will soon have plenty of it. Baluuead. Notes From Townvllle. M. S. L. Boleman is building a new res? idence. Mrs. J. C Gantt has been quite sick of fever, but is better.
