Maj. John R. Williams, of Central, was In the city shaking hands with his many friends last Thursday. The Intelligen? ces was delighted to haveaoallfrom him, and to See that "time is dealing gently wlthhim." Onr young friend, D. Clarence Brown, who has been attending the Normal Uni? versity at Lebanon, Ohio, returned home last Friday. Mr. Brown has been quite sick for several weeks, and was so low that his mother, Mrs. E. A. Brown, went to hin bedside a month ago. She nursed him through bis illness, and brought him home with her. We hope Clarence will soon be restored to his usual health. A copy ?f "Seaside TJionght3," a monthly story paper wh,ich:ha3 just made its ap ?earanC"e in Charleston, has been received y the Intelligences'. It is published at 50 cents a year and Gustave J.

Peter Simpson, a colored farmer of Rock Mills Township, brought to our office last Tuesday a stalk of cotton, with several bolls open, which was planted iD the spring of 18*9. It was well fruited last year, and this is the second crop on the same stalk. Notwithstanding the fact that there are a number of new dwelling houses being erected in the city, the supply is not equal to the demand, and the cry is for more. "A gentleman who advertised a house for. rent in the Intellioenceb had eight ap? plications for it. "We had a call Monday morning from Mr. J. E. Griffin, who has just returned to his native home in this County from Fort Riley, Dakota. Mr. Griffin is a tine spec? imen of young manhood, and the Intel? ligencer is glad to join bis friends in wel? coming him back home.

R., has recently been promoted to the position of Supervisor of the second division of the road. Mr. Sharpe is an Anderson boy, and it gives us pleasure to note hispromotion. The brilliant star which may be seen in the day time, as well as night, in the southern heavens, is thought to be the "Star of Bethlehem," which makes its ap? pearance every two or three hundred years and shines so brightly as to be seen at midday, and is expected about this time. Among the delegates appointed by Go v. Richardson to attend the Southern Inter State Immigration Convention, which meets at Asbeville, N. C, in December, we find the following names from Ander? son County: G. W. Sullivan, N. O. Far? mer, H. M. Prince, E. A. Smythe. J. D. Maxwell and J. C. Stribling. Rock Hill Herald: "The Town Council has employed a civil engineer, in the per? son-of W. C. Wbitner, of Anderson, to make a survey of the town and furnish a map showing the location and size of each lot, and in addition the width and relative positions of the different streets. Tho cost to the town will be $150." J. H. Clarke's tailor shops present a busy scene just now. He is working a force of eight hands, and is turning out work rapidly. He bas just received a lot of new satnyles, and .invites bis friends to call and see them, at his shop, over Wilhite's drugstore, on Granite Row- Mr. Clarke will have a new advertisement next week. We enjoyed a delightful ride over a por? tion of the city Tuesday afternoon with Judge Cox behind his fleet-footed but gentle horse, and we are thoroughly convinced that the only thing he needs to complete his happiness is a "bonny bride." teirls, why don't some of you propose to him ? We believe he would say "yes" to the first proposal. The Augusta Chronicle, of last Friday, says: "Mr. W. Y. Holland, a travelling man, who has a host of friends in Au? gusta, was yesterday awarded $6,000 dam? ages against the Richmond & Danville road in Atlanta for injuries received on that road two years ago. Mr. Holland sued for. $25,000, but the jury only gave him the above amount." We have received the second number of "The People's Advocate" which first made its bow to the public on the 3rd inst. Mr. J. W. Bowden is the editor. It is an eight column paper and presents a very neat appearance. The Intelligencer extendj the right hand of fellowship, and hopes the "Advocate" will have a smooth voyage over the rough sea of journalism. Mr. E. E. Henderson has just returned from a three-weeks' Btay at Piedmont, where he has been collecting for E. W. Brown & Sons. While there friend Hen? derson made two or three trips into Green-' v?le County, and, from what he Bays and the pleasant smile he wears, we believe he has fonnd sufficient attraction over there to make his future visits very frequent. Mr. J. X. Hillhouse, a prosperous and energetic young farmer of Centerville Township, is ahead on the potato ques? tion. He has produced ten that weighed a total of 64 pounds, the largest one of which weighed alone 9} pounds. He pre? sented this big potato to the Intelligen? ces, and as a consequence the printers havn't been hungry in a week. Who can beat Mr. Hillhouse? Don't all speak at once. Col. T. B. Demaree, Grand Chief Tem? plar of the Independent Order of |Good Templars of Kentucky, met his appoint? ment in Anderson last Friday night, and delivered a most interesting temperance lecture in the Methodist Church. We re? gret that every male citizen of our city could hot have heard the lecture, which was replete with interesting facts and good, solid arguments for doing away with the liquor traffic. . Priestly Ware, a negro boy about 16 Sears of age, met with a fatal accident at [r, O. A. Bowen's gin-house, in Pendle ton Township, last Friday. He was in the employ of Mr. Bowen, and while at work at the gin got his arm caught in the fin. His screams attracted attention, but efore the machinery could be stopped bis arm was almost torn to pieces. A messenger was at once sent off for a phy? sician, but before he arrived, death claimed the boy as its victim. Bettie, the bright and interesting little daughter of Mr. W. E. Long, died at her home in Brushy Creek Township, on Monday 3rd inst., after a brief but pain? ful illness. Tho little one was not qnite six years old, and was the idol of a happy household. The deeply bereaved parents have many sympathizers in the death of the little one, who is now an Angel in Heaven. The remains were interred at Plsgah Church, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. D. W. Hiott. The Baptist Eerald, the organ of the col? ored BaptiBts, says: "Benj. Armstrong, of Anderson County, was formerly a black - man. About ten years ago he began ohanging white. To-day he is as white as any of his Anglo Saxon brethren. He states that he was not sick a single day during the change. We suggest that every member of the Africo American race do likewise, and the "negro prob? lem," which is doing so much to agitate the minds of the North and South, will become a thing of the past." Frank Leslies Illustrated Newspaper for the week ending November 15th illus? trates the great Fair at Madison Square Garden, and has also several illustrations of the Leslie Alaska expedition with a let? ter-press account from Mr. E. J. Glave of the division of which he wa3 chief. There is also a very fine portrait of ex-Senator Allen G. Thurman, who celebrates his seventy-seventh birthday on the 13th inst. The recent disaster off Barnegat, the re? ception of the election returns at the New York Herald office, and other subjects are depicted in the pages of this number. The leading editorial contribution is from Superintendent Porter in reply to the critics of the Eleventh Census. Last Sunday morning Larkin Hamilton, a ten-year-old negro-boy, was shot and perhaps fatally wounded in this city. The ball entered the right cheek and has not yet been located. The attending physi? cian, Dr. J. O. Wilhite, thinks the ball bas lodged in the brain, as the boy has been paralyzed on the left side. It is not known how the accident occurred. The pistol belonged to Lawrence Walker, who was drunk and who was in the house when the shooting occurred. Walker says the boy took the pistol from his overcoat pocket and it was accidentally discharged while playing with it. The police arrested Walker, who will be tried for carrying concealed weapons. The boy was still alive Wednesday morning, but his recovery is very doubtful, The Y. M. C. A. building fund ia atoadily increasing. Among tbe contributions re? ceived during the past few days is a very handsome parlor organ, valued at $100 00, donated by tho W. W. Kiruball Organ Co., of Chicago, and a fine sewing machino, valued at ?50.00, donated by the White Sewing Machine Co., of Cleveland, O. Both the organ and machine are to be Bold and the proceeds turned over to the build? ing Committee. These Companies aro re? presented in Anderson by C. A. Reed, and their liberality is highly appreciated by our people The canvass of the vote in the County has been completed, and the official figures for Governor are as follows: Tillman, 2043; Haskell, 191. The figures for the other candidates for both State and County officers vary a little, some of them receiv? ing more and some less than Mr. Tillman. Judge W. F. Cox, candidate for Probate Judge, received 2070 votes, which was the highest vote polled for any candidate on the ticket. Tbe vote on the constitutional amendment was as follows : "Yes," 912 ? "No," 915. The official statement in the Congressional race gives Johnstone 2,103 andTolbertl24. Thursday, 27th inst., has been set apart as a National Thanksgiving Day by Pres ident HarriBon, and we hope the day will be geuerally observed throughout our section- Our people have much to be thankful for. We have had a very excit? ing campaign, and we ought to thank our Heavenly Father that the election passed off eo peaceably and orderly. We have been blessed with very good harvests, and we ought to return thanks to God for that- Our section has had no epidemic and no serious disasters, and our people generally are in a more prosperous condi? tion than for years past. God should have our praise and thanks for all these blessings. We hope that all business and work will be suspended for'that day, and that a Thanksgiving service be held in every Church in the County. We hope our ministers throughout the County will make appointments and send them to the Intelligencer for publication next week, so the people will ;know at what hour and where to meet. The Anderson Steam Laundry began work last Monday, and Mr. R. A. May field, the Superintendent, is happy. We visited the Laundry Tuesday afternoon, and had the pleasure of seeing it in oper? ation and viewing some of its work. The machinery, which is of the latest improv? ed models, is all in position, and every? thing is working as steady as a clock. We would not attempt a description of the machinery, but would advise our citizens, both male and female, to visit the Laun? dry and see it at work. Mr. Mayfield will give all visitors a cordial welcome and show them through. Besides other help, the company has secured the servi? ces of Mr. B. A. Thorpe and Miss Annie Finnegan, of Boston, both of whom have had long experience in the Laundry busi? ness. Tbe company has a delivery wagon, and will call for and deliver all wearing apparel and other articles needing the cleansing process. The city folks will now have no more trouble in getting their "washing" done regularly. It is our sad duty this week to announce the death of one of Anderson County's most excellent women in the person of Mrs. Alkansa Cook, the beloved wife of Dr. A, G. Cook, who died at her home at Cook's Station last Sunday afternoon, at 3 o'clock. On Saturday the physicians bad performed a surgical operation upon her to remove strangulated hernia, which was the cause of her death. Mrs. Cook was a daughter-of the late. Col. Abner Clink scales, and about 58 years of age. In her girlhood days she joined the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, and throughout her life was a devoted and active member. She was possessed of many noble virtues, and was greatly esteemed by a wide circle of friends and relatives, who will long cherish her mem? ory. She leaves a husband, two sons and two daughters to mourn her death, but in their bereavement they have the conso? lation of knowing that the ties so painfully severed on earth will be sweetly reunited in heaven. On Monday the remains were interred in the Generostee Churchyard, after impressive funeral services conducted by Rev. Calvin Pressly. The Pickens Sentinel, of last week, says: ?'On Wednesday evening at 8.30 o'clock a large congregation gathered in the Presby? terian Church to witness the marriage of Miss Lizzie E., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. j. L. Thornley, of this place to Mr. Walter W. White, of Anderson. * * * * ? Promptly at 8.30, the hour appointed, the organ, under tbe skillful touch of Miss White, of Anderson, gave forth the beau? tiful strains of the wedding march, in re? sponse to which the bridal party was ush? ered in. Miss Corrie Bruce, of Pickens, with Mr. Frank McGeo, of Anderson, came in at the left, Miss Ola Hollings? worth, of Pickens, with Mr. George Evans, of Anderson, came in at the right. They were followed alternately by. Miss Lorena Cramer, of Charleston, Mr. Will Miller, of Anderson, Miss Kittie White, of Anderson, with Mr. Jute Shanklin, of Pendleton. Next came the best man, Mr. Louis Harrison, with the first bridesmaid, Miss Olive Thornley, followed by the bride and groom. The parties were joined in Holy Wedlock under the sol? emn and impressive ceremony of the Pres? byterian Church, conducted by Rev. J. McL. Seabrook, of James Island." The happy couple reached Anderson Thursday afternoon, and that evening a reception was tendered them at the home ol the groom's parents. Mr. White is one of An? derson's most popular and excellent young men, and the Intelligencer joins his many friends in extending con? gratulations and wishing he and bis lovely bride a happy and prosperous voyage through life. Honea Path Items. W. A. Dugan was in town this week. R. J. King, of Martin Township, was in town Monday shaking the hands of his old friends. The Council are putting in terra cotta water-ways, and street lamps are spoken of. Donnalds has formed a set of regulators. After blacking a citizen for an offence, they decided they would shingle the hair of the notorious Indian Doctor. Every one that was large enough carried a pair of shears (so our informant stated), but the Doctor was on the alert and made good his escape for parts unknown. Several of our citizens attended the bar? becue at. Abbeville. They think her future prosperity is assured. Rev. M. McGee was called to Walnut Grove Church last Wednesday, 5th inst., to preach the funeral of Mr. Courtney McGee. Courtney was a son of M. B. McGee, of Abbeville County, and a young man of fine promise. His father and fam? ily have the sympathy of many friends in and around Honea Path. The Honea Path Baptist Church have been trying to arrange for preaching two Sundays in the month. Rev. D. W. Hiott having declined to serve under the call for two Sundays, Rev. L. M. Rice has been called. The Baptists are making an effort to place new seats in their Church. Rev. Wrn. Moore was ordained to the ministry at Turkey Creek Church Friday, 7th inst. On last week we made a mistake in say? ing that Miss Bessie Thomas stood second in the Collegiate Department. Luther Parker stood second and Miss Thomas third. Mr. Robert Latimer, of the Saluda side, was married to Miss Minnie Tarrant, of Grove Station, on Thursday, Gth inst., Rev, R. W. Burts performing the cero mony. Prof. H. H. Watkina, of Furmau Uni? versity, and Mr. S. L. Burts, of Newberry, have been visiting relatives in Hcnea Path. Rev- D, W. Hiott preached at the Bap? tist Church Saturday, and Rev. L. M. Rice on Sunday night. The services were enjoyed by large congregations. . Honea Path is one of the best cotton markets in the Piedmont section, and for low prices on goods it is probably the very best. We heard a lady, who had been to a certain city to buy (roods say, "Goods are cheaper in Honea Path than in-." Well, by Thursday eveuing "Bachelor Bob" is bachelor no more, Wedding bolls are ringing in every direction, and it seems as if there is to be a tidal wave of marry? ing soon. We hope the Chuichesof Honea Path will arrange to have services on Thanks? giving Day, and that our people will unitedly join in a service of praise to Almighty God. Abundant crops, pros? perity, peace aud happiness abound. Surely we can join the National throng in praise and giving of thanks. Pop. Memorial. The members of tho Ladies' Missionary Society of the Anderson Presbyterian Church wish to oiler this tribute to the memory of Mrs. Minnie It. Richie, one of our number, who was called from our midst to a higher sphere of enjoyment, a lady in whom were united many of the beauties and excellence of character. We miss her presence in our meetings and her earnest help in our work, and we unite our sympathy with those who are most sorely bereaved. Mrs. G. F. Tolly, Pros Miss 8. J. Friebson, Sec.

A. Geor has purchased tbohonse and lot of Maj. B. D. Dean, near the cen? tral part of the town. It is understood that the Bolton Hotel will in a few days change managers. Several citizens of Belton and vicinity will attend the State Fair. Mr. Oscar Anderson, of the Noal's Creek neighborhood, sold a bale of cotton here last Saturday for 12? cents a pound. Heed the moral and bring your cotton to Belton. Miss Lilla Rice, a daughter of Mr. He zekiah Rice, of Tyler, Texas, is visiting relatives here. She will probably reside in Belton in the future. Mr. E. M. Taylor has moved to Anderson, where he will have charge of the engine at the cotton mlils. At the invitation of Mr. W. K. Stringer, the young people of the town attended a very pleasant social gathering Friday night at the residence of Mr. A. J. String? er.

She was accompanied by Miss Louise Tompkins, of Ninety-Six, who is also attending the Greenville Fe? male College. Messrs. E. R. Cox and Luther Bigby, of Donnalds, spent Sunday with us. Jim Robinson, an aged negro, died Fri? day near Calhoun, on the farm of Mr. W. L. Sutherland. He is reported to have been one hundred and ten years old at the time of his death. He, of course, saw Geo. Washington. * Wllllamston Items. The quiet of onr town was broken last Friday evening by a crowd of young peo? ple, who assembled at the home of Miss Carrie Gaines and made delightful music. It does give a fellow the best kind of a chance to talk to his best girl, while the music keeps others from hearing. The young people are anxious for another musical, &c. Rev. Mr, Auld united in the bonds of matrimony at the M. E. Parsonage, last Sunday in Williamston. Mr. David Harris and Mrs. Gaudeau, of Pelzer. May their days be many and pleasant. W. L. Pickel, Esq., of our town, robbed Cokosbury of one of its brightest jewels last week. We cordially welcome to our town the fair young bride, formerly Miss Bell Mahone, now Mrs. W. L. Pickel. May their lives be long and their troubles few. Mr. C. C. Zeigler, of Orangeburg, has returned to the Telegraph school to com? plete his course. Rev. E. Z. Brown has moved to our town. On behalf of our people we bid him welcome. We noticed in "Baldhead'a" items last week that Mr. Mahaffy was going to move here to drink tue mineral water for the benefit of his health. We think that a very sensible move, for we have plenty of water, and it is good for the health. The beautifnl and accomplished Miss Siddie, daughter of Judge R. V. Acker, has returned from an extended trip from Charleston, where she spent a pleasant time among friends. We are delighted to have her with us again. We are, however, afraid?but we'll not say now. Dew. News From the Kingdom. Mb. Editor : We have gained a great political victory. Haskellism is dead, never to know a resurrection. We have had two weeks of fine weather, and cotton is disappearing from the fields. One more week of good weather and the crop is safe. Corn is being gathered rap? idly, and corn-shuckings are in order. Wheat sowing has begun. Everything seems to be moving-in the right direction, at a proper speod, and if no calamity be? falls us we will all get there by Christmas ?"Eli" and all. W. A. Fredericks and Robert Arnold, of Anderson, made a flying visit to the Kingdom yesterday. They called at the "Mansion" but I am sorry to say the Proprietor was not in. We are sorry to learn that Mr. Charles Phillips contemplates leaving the King? dom and moving to Oconee. "Charley" is one of our best Kingdomites, and we are loath to give him up. Many of our readers, no doubt, expect to see something cutting from me to "Sine Die," but I must disappoint them. I beg leave, however, to state my reasons for declining to "measure steel" with your young Lebanon correspondent. His father and I were old army comrades. We are two of the few Survivors of Co. L., Orr's Regiment Rifles. We have always been friends, and I wish us to re? main so. "Sine Die" is quite a youth, and I do not "war with boys." I can't see why he made his last assault, unless it was for the Bake of aping Waldrep. His remarks about me are uncalled for; they are scurilous, contemptible and insulting. But let it go, I will not retaliate. I hope the young man will pause and reflect, re? pent of his folly, "cease to do evil," quit picking flaws, come over into the King? dom, and take a few lessons from our boys, whose morals and manly bearing are unexceptionable.

Walkor-McElmoyle School will open its Winter Session Doc. 3,1890. All parents, and especially farmers, are requested to investigate the merits of this school. If they intend to patronize it all, and want to be just to their children, they are beg? ged, entreated and urged to put them in the first hour of the Session. Somepeo-. pie have an idea that nothing of conse? quence is done in school tho first day. If tho school doesn't do much tho first day, rest assured it never will do much. There is no sense in taking a vast deal of time in organizing a school which has a good graded system. The graded system is no longer an experiment with the Walker McElmoyle School, but an established success. The course of study is fixed, and each pupil knows into what class he is going as soon as he sees his examination papers and receives his report. Therefore, there is no classifying to do except with new pupils. The work begins as soon as school opens; therefore, any one coming in a few days late stands at a disadvantage through the entire session. Often such pupils have to be dragged by their classes, and feeling under-rated become disgusted with school hardships, and enter the busy world with their undeveloped minds en? cased in prejudice. Who is responsible for these unqualified citizens? these un? fortunately early marriages? Often it is that father who keeps his ambitious son at home picking yellow cotton only two weeks after the session opens. Often it is that unwise mother who keeps her daugh? ters at home a few days to make some new clothes to wear to school. In these good times a pupil's standing in his classes or in the estimation of his fellows and teachers depends no longer on his good clothes?not oven his dainty lunch will help him out, He is measured by what he has in his head and in his heart. Parents, don't cause your own child to feel snubbed by his comrades, not only now but throughout life, just for a few more dayB of his work. You can get that done in some way. If he was taken sick you would lose his time. Mind-sickness is upon bim. Send him to the Walker McElmoyle School where he will be wel? comed, December 3rd, by Miss Olivia New? ton, the Principal; Mr. Julius R. Newton, who, besides much other teaching, will give daily lectures on the various subjects Sertaining to Agriculture; and Prof, ohn A. Rives, the teacher of both vocal and instrumental musio. This school might be called the "Triumvirate," Bince it has three teachers, three sessions?Win? ter, Spring and Summer; three grades, Primary, Common School and High School, and three prices, 6, 8 and 10 cents per day respectively. Pleasant homes are offered all who want board cheap. Miss Olivia Newton. Majors, S. C, November 8,1890. An Explanation. Mr. Editor: In your issue of two weeks ago your Belton correspondent un? dertook to give some idea of the business establishments of that growing town. I have no issue to make againBt him, but wish to supplement his remarks by call? ing attention to the fact that the leading Drug Store in the place offers unusual in? ducements to the trading public, its stock of Drugs and Medicines being complete, and as cheap as can be found anywhere. Campbell Bros., the Proprietors of this Store, carry also a full line of the best Cigars and Tobacco', deal in the best Sta? tionery in town, make a specialty of Fruit and Confectioneries, and are daily making additions to their stock of Perfumeries, Toilet articles and fancy goods, which already far surpass anything of the kind that has heretofore been found in Belton. I advise all who are needing anything usually kept in a first-class Drug Store to call on the above firm and verify the state? ments that have been made by the writer, who knows what he says, he himself being a citizen of.

I have just arrived home with some of the prettiest Horses you ever saw in Anderson, and I am going to sell them cheaper than any one. Some of them can trot so fast that if you don't grease your buggy before you start the spindles will almost catch a fire. You may know they can get along when I was driving one to-day and did not think I was going much fast until a Po? liceman came up to me and told me I would have to appear before the Mayor's court to-morrow morning and give an ac? count of my conduct, that I was driving over everybody in town. I tell you they are wind-splitters. So come right along and get you a fast horse, one that you will bo proud of. Very Respectfully, IV. B. MAGRUDJER. Oct. 30. 1800._17_3m FELLOW-CITIZMS!
