Shaw, of the Corner, came in to see us last Monday, and told us of ajterrible orime that was committed in his section on Saturday, 25th ult. The circumstances are about as follows: On the day mentioned a travel? ling gin was engaged in ginning cotton on the plantation of Mr. Wm. McGee. Two little boys, one a son of Mr. McGee and the other a eon of Mr. James Wansley, each about ten years of age, were packing lint cotton in the press. While thus en? gaged, a negro boy, about 17 years of age, passed by the pres3, and, striking a match, threw it into the cotton. In a few seconds the cotton was ablaze and the lit? tle fellows began screaming for help. Their cries attracted attention, but before they could be rescued from the blazing cotton they were most horribly burned. Mr. Wansley's little son never spoke after he was taken from the press, and in three hours' time death relieved him from his terrible sufferings. Mr. McGee's little boy was still alive last Sunday, but it is feared that his burns will prove fatal. At first the fire was a mystery, but, upon being questioned, Mr. McGee's little boy told how it occurred. He said that his little companion bad struck the negro sometime before the fire occurred with a stick, and tbat the negro set fire to the cotton to get his revenge. The negro boy bas left the community, and bas not been heard of since he committed the horrible crime. The affair has caused considera? ble excitement and feeling in the neigh? borhood, and if the negro is caught, it is doubtful whether any jury will be needed to try his case. Circuit Court. The Court of General Sessions adjourned last Saturday morning, having disposed of all the crimical cases ready for trial. Frank Holloway, a negro boy, was tried and acquitted on a charge of murdering another negro boy. George Harris, a white man, was found not guilty on a charge of murdering his comrade, another white man, named James Bennet. Both were tramps.

Cochran, Esq., for his efficient management of the case of the State vs. George Harris for murder. Quincy Cothran, white, and Wes. An? derson, colored, were found not guilty of the charge of obstructing the C. & G. R. about five miles above the city. The Court of Common Pleas is now in session, and will last all the week in all probability. Judge Norton is very much liked by the entire bar of Anderson. Dots from Honea Path. '?Bachelor Bob" seems to be perfectly re? signed in regard to the sentence that has been placed upon him. He now sings "Soon we shall gather at the river." The "fatal noose" will be adjusted on the 13th by Rev. T. B. Craig. The boys that visited the "City by the Sea" last week have all returned, and speak in high terms of the hospitality of the Charlestonians. W. S. Brock and R. M. Shirley are off to the Mountain City. Last Friday and Saturday were the bus? iest days of the season with both merchants and cotton buyers. Two of our young men went oufcall ing" last Sabbath, and, by some hook or crook, they had the old man cornered off, when a negro came running in and asked the old gentleman for a mule to go to mill. He said that he bad already picked 115 pounds of cotton and had to knock off to get some bread, as he was out. The boys say six days in a week are all they care to work, aud think the old gentleman rather severe on laborers. The beef market here is well supplied every week, and consequently small prices are paid for beef and cattle, but if you have good milch cows, you can get a big price for them here. Miss Lizzie Brock and Rosa Tribble now measure off and furnish the paraphernalia behind the counters of L. A. and T. H. Brock. Mr. W. A. Kay is also connected with the same firm. A small sensation was created on the streets Sabbath, caused by the appearacce of a drunk negro. He refused to submit to|the authorities, and consequently received a few bruises with his imprisonment. It is said that whisky is sold on our streets from "hip pockets,", and if so this matter should be looked into, Mrs. J. E. Bigby has returned from an extended visit through Georgia. She re? ports a pleasant trip. Another party was in town to-day to rent a store room. This makes three parties wanting the same room before it is near completion. Capitalists, how does tbis sound for an investment? Also five or six parties trying to rent the only house in town that is not rented already. It seems that it would be better for thoss desiriug to come here to build. Houses can now be built at a small cost. On last Friday afternoon Prof. Watkins announced that there was a debt of nearly $250.00 agffinst the school house. Monday morning nearly the whole amount had been raised.

Brown, of San Luis Potaso, Mexico, is in Belton on a visit. His many friends are very glad to see him with us agam. The election passed off quietly, a com? paratively light vote being polled. Mr. W. A. Willinghara contemplates erecting at once a couple of frame cottages. It seems to be an assured fact that Bel? ton is to have a bank. No town of its size in this section presents a better loca? tion for such an enterprise. Mr. C B. Poore is now serving the Southern Express Company on the Knox ville & Jellico Railroad, East Tennessee. Mr. Ed. Griffin, who has for two or three years been in the U. S. Army in Dakota, is expected home in a few days, his connection with the Government hay? ing terminated. Mr. Geo. G.

Hiott, the young lady's pastor and Rev. S. Lander D. D., her teacher. How earnest the pray? er and sincere the congratulations for their success through life. A delightful time was spent around tho supper table, which was ladened with most toothsome dishes. Mr. Wilson is one of our prosper? ous young merchants and is looked upon as a Christian gentleman. Miss Crymes is among the most popular of our young ladies and an earnest worker in the Church. We are happy to know that they are set? tled in our midst.

Mr. Editor: The "bony man" of the Kingdom has been very unwell for some time, and I don't see any hopes for him to get any better until he takes a few doses of those "antiswell-head pills" that be was speaking of. I am very sorry that I can't sympathize with him. I have never had any experiehce in the disease, and, therefore, I don't know how. I am very sorry, also, that I ever wasted time and paper writing his name. But if God will pardon me for the offence I will never be caught spoiling time and paper again by writing his name, for if I don't quit his head will bo swelled clear out of exist? ence. And then, again, ho may still con? tinue to write, but I shall never be so fool? ish as to be found reading -his "scrubby,". trashy remarks, for I am very sure that I will not be benefited by it. But, Ob ! God will come some day in his mighty power and brush all the swelling out of such heads. Keep down, "bony man," or your disease will prove fatal, if it hasn't already proved that way to your brains. The farmers have been having a lively time this pretty weather gathering the fleecy stable, and most of them have about caught up. A great many of the people of this neighborhood have just returned from Charleston, and won't hardly speak to Buch a "little" fellow as I. All the ex? cuse they can give me is, "I've been off." Mr. B. T. Rochester has been quite siok for several days, but is convalescing, we are glad to Bay. Mr. Hollis Rochester, of Walhalla, is visiting relatives and friends near here.

Prayer meeting is held here at Lebanon Church every Wednesday night, and I will just ask the members of the Church to please come out. How do you expect to ever have any success in anything if you don't come out and show yourselves ? Please wake up, brethren, and see about your soul before it is too late, for ye know not the day nor hour the Son of God cometb. Sine Die. School Meeting at Townville. Some of the patrons of Townville Bchool No. 1 met in the Academy this evening to take steps to try to put thia school on a better basis than it has had in past years. A meeting had been held by a few per? sons sometime before this, at which Com? mittees were appointed to draft plans for a school, and try to secure a suitable person as teacher. Neither of the Committees were ready to report, but the Chairman on plans said it was the intention, or hope, to raise ten thousand dollars in bonds for ten years, ten per cent, of which was to be used to maintain the school per year, and that about six thousand, or nearly bo, of said amount had been promised. All who do not go into this plan will be re? quired to pay at regular tuition rates, and and every one will get the beneGt of the public school fund as heretofore. The following paper was offered and unani? mously adopted: Wheras, certain litigation was had some months ago by which one of the schools in Townville is to be deprived of aid from the public school fund after this year; and, whereas, this community man? ifestly is able to maintain two schools, as was proved by this year's experiment; and, whereas, it is not our wish to take advantage of our neighbor school in any way, but to extend to it pure good will; and, whereas, our desire is that peace and Christian charity shall prevail in our midst as it used to do ; therefore, we, the patrons of this the first and long estab? lished school in Townville, do sincerely and earnestly request the County School Board of Anderson County to rescind at its next meeting the rule, or order, by which our neighbor school is to be de? prived of aid, and to grant said school its full, proportionate share of the public Bcbool fund. Also, to prevent invidious names, we suggest that, as ours is the older school, it be designated as Townville Sohool No. 1, and the other as Townville School No. 2. It was ordered that the Secretary send the proceedings of this meeting to both the County papers, with the request that they publish the same. After prayer for the success of the enter? prise, the meeting adjourned to meet again on the second Saturday evening of November. T. S. Ligon, October 27,1890._Secretary. Holland's Store Items. The fields are still white with cotton. Corn has been gathered and garnered. Very few oats sowed in this section yet. The potato crop has been gathered, and in some instances the potatoes are very fine. Our farmers generally anticipate sowing a pretty fair wheat crop. By the time this reaches the readers of the Intelligencer the din of politics will be hushed to some extent. "We hope bo, at least." The truth of the mat? ter is, we are getting mighty sick and tired of the tumultuous times that we have had for the past few months. Mr. B. Mc. Holland has been visiting his brother at this place for tbe past few days. He resides in the lower part of Georgia. Miss Elolse Earle, who has been attend? ing College at Gaffoey, Spartanburg County, has returned home. Prof. Willis will conduct a singing at Sbiloh next Saturday. This Church has purchased an organ, and propose to em? ploy Mr. Willis to giye them some useful instructions. All are requested to bring dinner and stay all day. The contract to ceil the above Church will be let out at 10 o'clock the same day. Owing to a misunderstanding it was not let out the day previously mentioned. The health of our community is good. Cedar Grove Items. The health of this section is good. Our farmers have about gathered all of their cotton, and corn ahuckings are now in order?where there iB any corn to shuck. I see your Williamston correspondent says Mr. A. Mahaffey is going to move to Williamston to send his children to school, The correspondent is mistaken, I am in? formed Mr. Mahaffey is going there to drink mineral water for his health. I see '"Shanks" and "Sine Die" are still fussing. Now, old fellows, my advice ia for you both to meet, shake hands and kisa like brothers. It will do you good. Prof. L. M. Mahaffey visited this sec? tion recently. Rev. G. M. RogetB preaches here every second Saturday and Sunday. Our Sun? day School, which is superintended by Mr. H. Mahaffey, meets every Sunday. What is the difference between a dog's tail and a rich man ? One keeps a wag? ging and the other a carriage. We learn that Mr. Asa Mahaffey is also going to move to Williamston to drink mineral water for tho benofitof his health. _Baldhead. Obituary. Bro. Robert Raymond Simpson, eldest son of John W. Simpson, died at bis home October 9th, 1890. "Leaves have their time to fall, and ilowers to wither at the north wind's breath, But thou hast all seasons for tbino own, Ob, death." Bro. Simpson was called away in the midst of a happy and useful life. He was a dutilul son, and a great comfort to his parents. His happiness was increased by choosing as his companion Miss Mattie S. Huggins, a lady of most amiable qualities, who shared with him the responsibilities of life. They were happy together and had no idea of being separated so soon. Bro. Simpson was noted for his piety, and lived a model life aBa young man, leaving an example for the young men of Pendle ton and. the surrounding country to follow. Ho was an obedient son, a devot? ed husband, an affectioiiBte father, a good neighbor, and a true friend. He was a member of tbe Baptist Church. He loved the Church, and often expressed bis de? sire for tbe salvation of the sinners. Lie hated the prominent evils evils of the day, which ruinB the character, decreases hap? piness, destroys the soul, and would gently and lovingly persuade others to shun^ these, ruinous evils. His race is run, his battle is ended, and he was "more than conqueror through Him that loved him."
