Messrs. J. P. Goodwin and G. W. Rich? ardson, two of Greenville's County Com? missioners, accompanied by Mr. J. F. Grandy, a leading contractor of Green? ville, spent last Friday in the city. We were glad to meet them and form their acquaintance. One great advantage of tbe warm spell is that it don't require much wood, and this is no small consideration from the fact that the supply has been as small as tbe demand?the usual corps of wood haulers having been absorbed in harvest? ing their crops. Postmaster-General Wanamaker has come to tbe aid of publishers with a decis? ion to the. effect that "postmasters who fail to notify publishers when subscribers move away or fail to take their papers from the postofSoe, shall be responsible for the subscription."

A- Robinson has just comple? ted a neat store room near bis home in Martin Township, and is opening out a stock of general merchandise Anderson County has no more genial, upright citi? zen than Col. Robinson, and in his new venture tbe Intelligencer wishes him much success. Walhalla Courier: "The Snow Hill col? ored Baptist Church, in Anderson County, about one mile from Fair Play, was de? stroyed by fire on last Sunday morning. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. This same Church was de? stroyed by fire in July, 1876, in the same way. The Church just destroyed was worth about $600. Hartwell Sun: "Mr. W. R. Cooley, an enterprising citizen of Anderson County, S. C, is making arrangements to open up a sale stable in Hartwell, on tbe Northeast of the public square. He will also Bell buggies, wagons, &c. The business is to be on an extensive scale. Mr. Cooley is quite a genial gentleman and will be cor? dially welcomed to our town." Our young friend, Dr. Chas. N. Wyatt, who practices medicine in the Equality section, has gone to New York to spend three months in securing further knowl? edge in his profession. Dr. Wyatt is very popular wherever he is known, and ranks as one of the leading young physicians of this section. We hope he will have a pleasant sojourn in New York. We know we voice the sentiment of our whole people in saying that we hope the Conference, which is now in session in tbe city, will return Rev. C. B. Smith to tbe pastorate of the Anderson Church for another year. Mr. Smith has done a good work in our section, and is highly es? teemed, not only by the members of his own Church, but by our entire population. The Oconee County Alliance has endors? ed Mr. J. R. Earle, Jr., of Fair Play, as a candidate for Superintendent of tbe State Penitentiary. Mr. Earle is a son of Rev. J. R. Earle, one of Anderson County's Representatives, and is a young man of fine bnsiness capacity. We believe he would make an excellent Superintendent, and would like to see him occupying the position. . Mr. M. R. Honeycutt, of Pendleton, who has been clerking for Messrs. Mc Cully & Cathcart, in this city, for several months past, has gone to Chattanooga, Teno., to accept a position with the U. S. Express Company. Mr. Honeycutt is an excellent young man, and wherever he may cast his lot he will carry with him the best wishes of his numerous friends in this section. Mr. D. S- Harbin, of Hopewell Town? ship, has presented the Intelligencer with three of Buists'purple top globe turnips, each weighing six pounds which, we believe, are the largest we have ever seen. The seed were purchasad from Messrs. Simpson <fc Son. Mr. Harbin is an energetic farmer, and when the seasons are at all favorable, never fails to make a fine crop of anything he plants. Mr. J. J. Brewer, who lives in the Northeast corner of the County, near the Greenville line, was in tbe city Monday and called to renew his subscription to the Intelligenoer for another year. Mr. Brewer said he had almost come to the conclusion to stop his subscription to the Intelligencer, as he never had time to read it, but before he left home his little daughter, Miss Emma, told him not to do it. She said she would pay five dollars a year for the Intelligencer rather than do without it. Miss Emma is certainly a young lady of fine judgment, and we hope she will live a long and happy life, and the Intelligencer an ever welcome visitor to her home. Col. Joseph N. Brown has moyedinto his new residence on North Main Street. This is the best finished residence in the city, and just as conveniently arranged as one could wish. To have a full concep? tion and a proper appreciation of this ele? gant edifice one would have to go through and see it for himself. It is finished in what is known as Georgia pine, and the walls are finished with plastico. Of course a much more costly house could be built, but for comfort and convenience this seems almost complete. The writer was very much pleased with the beautiful and neat appearance of this house, but most of all with the plan and arrangement of the interior, which seems to be the very embodiment of convenience and comfort. The Charleston World, of last Saturday, says: "The Masonic Grand Lodge, of the I jurisdiction of South Carolina, will con? vene at Anderson on December 10. It may be remembered that at the last ses? sion in Charleston efforts were made by the low country delegates to have the meeting here, but the Anderson peoplo, who have erected a masonio temple, de? sired the meeting in their town, and finally got it. This will be the first meet? ing of the Grand Lodge outside of Charles? ton since the erection of the masonic tem? ple here, and, so some of the Masons say, it will probably be the last for a very long time." Our people will give th%Masons a cordial welcome. Grand Master Divver says he expects to seo more than three hundred delegates present at this session of the Grand Lodge. / The meetings of the Y. 31. C. A. are in? creasing in interest and attendance. One who attends with the right motive and in the right spirit, cannot fail to bo benefited. It is a pleasant and profitable place to spend an hour. Young man, try it. There seems to be, on the part of some of our citizens, complaint in reforonce to tho cemetery. Those complaining think it should be'irnprovod and beautified. "Well, that is so, and the City Council has spent considerable money on it, and offered burial lots for sale, and very few have been purchased and none beautified. Now, if those complaining will only come up and purchase lots and improve and beautify them that will begin the work, and then there will, in all probability, be no further complaints. This is the view we take of it. If you want it improved, buy you a lot and improve it. Don't ex? pect the City Council to give it to you and improve it for you, too. Tho South Carolina Conference of the 01. JE. Church, South. . Anderson is fairly in possession of the Methodist ministers and laymen, who are here in attendance upon the 105th annual session of the South Carolina Conference, and in tho name of our people tbe Intel? ligencer extends each and every one of them a cordial welcome. Eighteen years ago the Conference met in Anderson, and our people still retain pleasant mem? ories of the occasion. The Monday traius began to bring in the delegates, and there are now in atten? dance about 300, making one of the larg? est gatherings of the kind that has assem? bled for years. It is a very representative body, being composed of the leading and most cultured members of the Methodist Church in this State. The Historical Society, which is com? posed of the ministers of the Conference, held its annual session Tuesday evening in the Methodist Church, aud was presid? ed over by Rev. Sam'l A. Weber, the President. The Secretary being absent. Rev. H. B. Browne was made Secretary pro tern,. At the conclusion of the opening devotional services, which were conduct? ed by Rev. W. W. Mood, Rev. W. C. Power, of Columbia, was introduced as the orator of the occasion, and mado a very elaborate address, giving the history of Methodism in this State and the pro? gress of the last decade. This was an in? teresting and instructing oration. Bishop Duncan followed Mr. Power in a very appropriate talk, showing what the past rightly demanded of the Methodist in the future. Rev. David Morton, D. D., of the Kentucky Conference, next favored tbe audience with a few interesting remarks. The Society was then reorganized by the election of the following officers: President, H. P. Chreitzberg; vice Presi? dents, R. N. Wells, S. Lander and G. W. Walker; Secretary, W. I. Herbert; Re? cording Secretary, R. H. Jones; Treasu? rer, W. K. Blake. The Society was presented with several relics and other valuable gifts, and among them was tbe "Life and Labors of Rev. F. Asbury Mood, D. D.," by Prof. C. C. Cody, of the Southwestern University, Texas. At the request of Prof. Cody, the presenta? tion was made by Rev. Wm. W. Mood. The Conference was called to order Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock by Bishop Duncan, and the exercises were opened by the celebration of the Lord's Supper. The Conference was organized by elect? ing H. F. Chrietzberg, T. C. Ligon, Dr. S. Lander and E. 0. Watson Secretaries. Tbe morning session was devoted to the appointment of the usual standing com? mittees, receiving communications and hearing the reports of the Presiding Elders. Mr. W. N. McTeyire, son of the late Bishop McTeyire, representing the pub? lishing house of the Southern Methodist Church,-Nashville, Tonn., was introduced to the Coufereuce. The hours for the session of the Confer? ence were fixed for each day from 91 o'clock a m. to U o'clock p. m. Ser? vices will be held iu the Church every evening ut 1\ o'clock. There are in this Conference 219 effective prenebH-s, about 143 local preachers, and ab.iut 30 superannuated. There are 700 Churches.?all supplied with pastors?and a m?muur.sbip ofabout 07,000. They own $1,250,000 worth of Church property in the name of the C?urch, Calhoun Falls. Under the above heading appears this week an advertisement by the Western Carolina Land and Improvement Com? pany, which deserves notice The gentle? men connected with the enterprise are well known all over the State, therefore further comment would be quite unnec? essary. Suffice to say, however, that the plans for the disposal of lob and steck, as offered by the Company, is the most lib? eral that could be offered, taking into con? sideration that two very important lines of Railroad, a splendid farming country, and the finest water power in the South, tbe building and locating of various enter? prises, all of whicli is the nucleus upon which the basis of the town is predicated. That tbe future of the enterprise is ex ceptionably bright, no one familiar with its prospects will doubt for a moment, because in this day of rapid town build? ing and the experience of men skilled in that art, it requires but a short time to reach high results. To read the accounts of new cities springing up all over the South, is like reading fairy tales; but, nevertheless, they are all true, and what has taken place in one section of tbe South will be repeated here where tbe conditions are highly, favorable. To some who are not familiar with the phenomenal growth and sudden transfor? mations taking place all over the new South, it would be very difficult to con? vey an idea of the possibilities of this, the greatest country on earth, but our people are awakening from a long slept dream, and moving forward with a determination to build up and develop, fully realizing tbe possibilities of a country so great in her natural resources. Every one knows that, "There la a tide in tbe affairs or men Which, taken ut the flood, leads on to fortune." But not every one has tbe ability to tell the time of the flood, and many, after tell? ing it, have lost its advantages through lack of nerve to embark upon it before tbe ebb came, and the opportunity was lost. The tide of development is turning our way now, and we bespeak a bright future for the new enterprise in our sister County, feeling confident that the Western Caro? lina Land and Improvement Company will do all they promise in fostering and encouraging such enterprises as can be carried on profitably in their town ; that they will donate sites for religious and educational purposes, and in every other way aid all movements calculated to pro? mote the general interest of tbe new town, and that they will utilize every opportu? nity to make Calhoun Falls a grand and prosperous city. Belton Items. Bartine's circus showed here Monday, giving an afternoon and a night perfor? mance. The attendance was good ; iu fact, better than the show, which did not in any ?sense rise above the dignity of a second class exhibition. Belton will soon possess a well-equipped sale and livery stable. Mr. W. A. Geer is now erecting" on his lot at the Northeast corner of the Squaro a commodious build? ing for that purpose. He will rapidly push the work forward to completion, and will soou be able to supply all demands that may arise for horses and vehicles. Mr. Geer has also opened a market for the sale of drove hogs. Lewis & Moorchead have embarked into a line of business heretofore neglected in this section. Realizing that Belton should attract a large trade in horses and mules, which has in the past been given to more distant markets, this firm has ardered a large lot of fine animals which they pro Sjse to sell on terms very advantageous to eir customers. They have enlarged their stables to increase their facilities in this branch of their business, and will also deal extensively in buggies and wagons. Monday afternoon, while the large crowds of visitors who had gathered to see the circus, were taking in tho delights of the preliminary outside performances, three or four white residents of Greenville County became engaged over some trivial affair in a wrangle with several negroes. A street fight followed. Tom Emerson, colored, was cut in several places and seri? ously injured. Lawrence Williams, color? ed, was considerably bruised with brass nucks. Great excitement prevailed for some time, and indications seemed favora? ble to a general race conflict. No arrests have been made. Thad. Gambrell, of the Greenville side, did the cutting. *, Atteutiou to all for the Fust aud Future. John Catlett has recently sold out his en? tire business house and lot to J, J. Dob? bins. I, John Catlett, extend my sincere thanks to my many friends for their past patronage for the last twenty-two years. I am ready to serve you again in the future in the line of mules and horses at a short notice. All those owing pie by Note or Account will please call and settle. You will find me at my old residence during the year 1891. Mr. Dobbins is well prepared to serve customers at my old stand. Respectfully, JOHN CATLETT, Anderson, S. C. Any one wishing to buy a good, young mule cheap should call ou C. Wardlaw, or S. T. Craig. For the finosfc clothing and lowest prices go to C, F. Jones & Co. Willlainston Items. WlMJAMSTON, S. C, Nov. 19,1890. Last Frida}' evening Rev- Robt. II. Smith, of your city, came over and deliv? ered his famous lecture on "America os I have seen it." It was a real treat to hear Mr. Smith's lecture. It was thrillingly interesting, and instructive. We are more anxious to hear it again than we woro to hear it the first time. Wo cer? tainly have a grand country, and we ought to know it better and appreciate it more. At tbe close of the lecture Dr. Lan? der's school sang, "My country, 'tis for thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing." Every community ought to hear Mr. Smith lecture. Rev. LaFayette Harris, from near here, has started out as an evangelist. He ex? pects to begin his work in York County, his old home. We trust he may do much good. Rev. W. H. Wroten preached his faro well sermon here last Sunday, and Dr. Lander preached a very interesting ser? mon before the Ladies' Missionary So? ciety at night. The Directors of the Male High School have secured the services of Prof. Earle Grady, of Greenville, a graduate of Fur man University, as Principal of the school for the next year. ' The Alliance Store will be opened in a few days. Mr. A. H. Ford, a well known business man, has been employed as Man? ager. We speak for this enterprise success. We are glad to report that we have the promise of a sermon from the Rev. R. N. Wells, D. D., of Charleston, S. C, Thanks? giving day, Mr. Wells is said to be one of the best orators of tbe South Carolina Con? ference, and our people will be delighted to welcome him. Our people have been very much an? noyed this fall by large farmers in the County above here sending in their wagons on Sunday afternoon or night and drumming around for hands to pick cotton, &c. We try here to remember tbe Sabbath day to keep it holy, and when such plain violations of the law of God is seen in our midst we are troubled. Our farmers for the past few months have been preaching reform in State Govern? ment, &c. Would it not be well to prac? tice reformation at home? What do you say, Mr. Editor? Prof. Hull "V. Smith is not only Mana? ger of the Union Telegraph School, but he is also Proprietor, having bought out Prof. Wroten. Prof. Smith will add sev? eral improvements to the school. Tbe attendance is now good, and others are expected soon. Under the management of Prof. Smith we believe the school will flourish. The Hon. H. M. Prince has agreed to run the hotel another year, and the pri? vate boarding house will be run by Mr. A. S. Sadler. These gentlemen, aud espe? cially their better halves, have given great satisfaction to their boarders. Miss M8ttie Brown has a school of small boys to whom she gives daily in? struction. Miss Mattie has a finished education, and wonderful tact in anything she has undertaken, and we feel satisfied she will make a fine success as a teacher. Ervin. Honea Path Items. The following account of the marriage of Dr. T. E. Stokes and Miss Beulah Cox was handed to us by one present: On tbe 19th day of November we drove to the residence of Mr. Ar is Cox; the house was brilliantly illuminated. As the olock struck seven Dr. T. E. Stokes led his fair, beautiful bride, Miss Beulah B. Cox, arrayed in a helio trope silk, ornameuts of rubies and pearls, to the hymeneal altar. The ceremony was performed by Rev. D. Weston Hiott, and it was interesting and impressive. After a number of congratu? lations supper was announced. The table was beautifully decorated with flowers and ladened with such tnings as would tempt the most delicate appetite. The couple were the recipients of many beautiful and costly presents. The sweet strains of music thrilled the heart of each one pres? ent, rendered by the skillful touch of the accomplished Miss Zula Brock. Too soon the hour for departure came; but on the following morning after a drive of twelve miles in the bracing air, we arrived at tbe home of Dr. T. E. Stokes. We found many friends anxiously awaiting the arri? val of the bridal party, where again we were invited into a long dining hall. Suf? fice it to say that it would havo pleased the most fastidious. Truly, everything passed off as merry as a marriage bell until we were forced to say good bye. We extend congratulations to the happy couple, and hope that they may glide dowu the stream of life free from trouble and eventually land in the harbor of immortal bliss. Dr. Stokes iB a rising young physician of Greenville County, and Miss Cox is one of Anderson's County's fairest daughters. Rev. A. C. Stepp was in town this week. Miss Ellen Tribble, of Donnalda* will commence a school at Broadtnouth next Monday. Mrs. Stepp is preparing to have a nice residence built oa Main Street. Mr. J. W. Moore, of Laurens County, has been visiting relatives in town. Misses Henry and Hill, of Abbeville, and Miss Forsytbe, of Charleston, have been visiting Mrs. R. M. Shirley. Thanksgiving services will be held at Broadmouth Church next Thursday. The Palladin and Pierian Literary So? cieties of Honea Path High School are preparing to have a public meeting just before Christmas. Miss Rosa Cox has taken charge of the Baluda School. Miss Lizzie Brock will teach near Belton this session. Mr. H. S. Shumate and family attended Church at Poplar Springs lost Sunday. Mr. R. P. Shaw, of Gentsville communi? ty, is having a beautiful residence erected. A Thanksgiving box will be sent from this place to Thornwell Orphanage. All persons interested in this noble and worthy institution should attend prayer meeting Wednesday night. Mrs. Reed and Mrs. Wells, of Cross Hill. Laurens County, are visiting their sister, Mrs. S. Holcorab. Rev. T. B. Craig has asked for a dissolu? tion of his pastoral relationship with this Church. The young people of Honea Path have decided to have charades on the night of December 25th. The show here last Thursday attracted a large crowd, P. Lebanon Items. A great change has been made in the cotton fields in three weeks. Most of the farmers are done gathering their crops, and are done sowing their small grain, so they are doing nothing except sitting in one corner chewing their cud. The weather has been very warm for the time of year, giving the farmers suffi? cient tinio to finish gathering. The boom of tbe sportsman's "piece" can already be heard in the forests, and the squirrel, rabbit and partridgo is falling victim to that "piece." Woe unto the game that should rise up before some of our sportsmen. Mr. W. W. Smith has gone up on the river to try bis fishermanship If he falls to catch fish, there's no use for any one else to try. He is 72 years of age, and is as gay as a boy of 10. Last Sunday's meeting, conducted by our efficient pastor, Itev. W. B. Hawkins, was very interesting and instructive, if we will only abide by the teachings. Messrs. B. P. Rochester and W. J. Pat? terson have gone to Seneca to attend a telegraphy school, and they carry the best wishes of their friends with them. They are two worthy young men, and deserve all the praise and honor that our commu? nity can afford them. The prayer meeting at Lebanon has been changed from Wednesday night to Saturday night. "No man can either live piously or die and some of our young men are preparing righteous without a wife," says Richter, to take his advice.
