Mr. Albert Carpenter, who moved with his parents from this County to Pickens County, Ala., about fifteen years ago, died at bis home in that County on January 25th, of pneumonia, aged about -25 years. Mr. Carpenter was a grandson of the late Wyatt Smith, of this County, and has a number of relatives in this sec? tion who will be pained to hear of his death. The Greenville News, of Tuesday, says : "Sam Swinger, of Pendleton, the negro who killed Patrick Connelly in thiB ciry some time ago, by knocking him in the head with an axe, at the front door of a house in the rear of the Reese house, was taken to his hou?o doad from Alabama Sunday, and was buried yesterday. Swinger escaped-after killing Connelly, and had never been heard of." Mr. T. A. Bolt is building for Mr. W. A. Neal, in Hopewell Township, one of the largest barus ever constructed in An? derson County. The main body of the barn is 74 feet long by 30 feet wide. It is built in the shape of a cross, the cross being 76 by 34 feet. There will be twenty stalls, ten feet square, and the storage ca? pacity of the upper part is immense- We are always glad to note these evidences of improvements on our farms. Mr. Neal is one of the best farmers in Anderson County, and seldom fails to make a good crop. Mr. Wynne, State Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., has just finished a tour of the State, and in a talk with the Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier, he speaks thus of the Anderson Association: "The Anderson Association have decided on Bruce & Morgan as architects, and they are determined to have tbeir building completed and finished by fall. Their lot is 105x129. The building will occupy half the lot and the other half will be used as a tennis court, etc. The average attend? ance at the young men's meetings is sixty. It is considered the best organized one year-old County work in the United States." Last Monday morning Mr. C. Wardlaw received a telegram announcing the death of bis sister-in-law, Mrs. Jason Wardlaw, and the serious illness of his brother Jason, who lives near Harmony Grove, Ga. Mr. Wardlaw left Monday afternoon for Harmony Grove to attend the funeral of his siBter-in-law, which took place last Tuesday at Harmony Grove. Mrs. Ward law was born and raised in this County, in Hopewell Township, being well and fa? vorably known there as Miss Anna Duck? worth. She leaves behind her five little children, the eldest nine years old, and the, youngest only two or three months old! She was a noble, true and devoted Christian wife, mother and member of the Baptist Church. The Easley Democrat, of last week, says: "Mrs. P. D. Mullinix, relict of the late W. G- Mullinix, and mother of J. H. Mullinix, ex-Trial Justice at this place, died on the 10th inst. at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Ed. Hopkins, near Central^ aged - nearly eighty-five years. She was a daughter of the late James Games: Mrs. Mullinix. was converted at old Twelve Mile Church at the age of twelve years. Her sainted spirit is now re-united with husband and loved ones who have gone before, where sorrowing nor parting will never beany more." Mrs. Mullinix was well known in the upper section of Anderson County, where she has many friends and relatives who will long cherish her memory. Last Saturday Coroner Nance held an inquest over the body of Mr. Samuel E. Poore, of Pendleton Township, who was found dead on his plantation the day before. The verdict of the jury was that his death was caused by apoplexy. Mr. Pocre was walking across a field, when he was suddenly stricken down and died immediately, it is supposed. His body was discovered by his son, who came along shortly after the old gentleman was strick? en down. Mr. Poore was about 60 years old, and an upright, highly esteemed citi? zen, whoso death is deeply deplored, by a widecircleof friends and relatives through? out the Countyj. A wife and twelve chil? dren survive him. On Sunday his remains were interred at Mt. Tabor Church. Siuce the first of January a goodly num? ber of our old subscribers have come iu and settled all arrears and paid a year in advance, and we have also received a good many new subscribers, to all of whom we are profoundly thankful for their timely help. There are others, however, who are indebted to us, who would no doubt have done likewise had they not regardtid it as a mere trifle, and therefore neglected it. We hope all such will remember that these small sums, though insiguificant to them are, in the aggregate, of considerable importance to us. We have never been in tbe habit of dunning our patrons, as we have-, generally managed to get along without doing so. However, we are needing money now and that badly, and we will be very thankful indeed to those who are still in arrears if they will call and settle promptly. The Hartwell (Ga.) Sun, of last Friday, Bays: "Mr. George Haynie and sister, Miss Frances, of Belton, S. C, came near losing their lives by drowning on last Friday. They were returning from a visit to Bowersville, and made an attempt to cross Lightwoodlog Creek at the ford below the Hartwell railroad trestle. The stream was badly swollen by tbe heavy rains, and when they reached the current the buggy and mules wore swept down Btream. By almost superhuman efibrts Mr. Haynie succeeded in getting the traces loose, and the mules made a turn throwing the occupants out of the buggy. Fortunately they drifted against the foot log, which Mr. Haynie drew himself upon and then pulled his sister out of the surg? ing waters by her hair. Had it not have been for the footlog they would have been inevitably lost, as they wore both exhaust? ed whon thoy got out. They buggy was swept down the creek, and the umbrella and cushion were lost. Mr. Haynie and Bister al3o lost their hata, and their valise was carried down the creek some distance, but was recovered. Tho young gentle? man and lady were invited to Mr, R. E. Landers' house near the ford, aud were kindly cared for until the next day, when they resumed their journey home." Meeting or tho Executive Board of the Sa luda Association, The Exeoutive Board of the Saluda As? sociation will hold its next regular meet? ing with the Church at Belton on Wednesday, 18th iust., at 11 o'clock a. m., and ull the members are requested to be punctual iu their attendance.

I Valentiues at G, W. Fant & Son's Book ; stero. TVcrfding; 1.5 ei Is. Ono of the most notable events of the reason was enacted last Tuesday evening, 10th inst., at the residence of Mr. W. (?, "Watson, near the Southern suburbs of the city. It was the marriage of his daughter, Miss Minnie Watson, and Mr. W. Eugene Milford. The occasion had been looked forward to with no little pleasure by the many friends of the happy'young couple, and on Tuesday afternoon, when the nun shone its face for the first time in a week, it made every one feel more joyful. The ceremony was appointed for ftt o'clock, and when that hour arrived Mr. Watson's beautiful home presented a scene hard to describe. The numerous Chinese lanterns suspended all around tho prem? ises fended to add more brilliancy to-the scone on the inside, where everybody was wearing tho happiest smiles. The parlors and hall were tastefully fostoonod with overgreeuR and hot-house flowers. Shortly before tJ o'clock tho melodious strains of tho -.yedding march from the piano, under tho skillful touch of Miss Virginia Evans, heralded the approach of the bridal party, who entered the parlor as follows: Miss Nona Mauldin and Mr. John M. Flvnn. Miss Bettie Dean and Mr. ft A. Milford. The Bride and Groom. Miss Robbie Sharpe and Mr. L. C. Har? rison. Miss Lillie Hopkins and Mr. A. J. Geer. The attendants formed a circle around the couple, who, kneeling in front of the officiating minister, Rev. E. R. Carswell, were made husband and wife in a beautiful and impressive ceremony. The bride was most elegantly attired in a bandsomo brocade silk, en iraine, with tulle veil and the ever lovely orange blos? soms. The bridesmaids were also very ele? gantly dressed. The groom and grooms? men wore full dress suits. After the ceremony and the usual greet? ings and congratulations, tho dining-room was thrown open and for the next hour or two the many guests were served with the most delicious refreshments. Mr. and-Mrs. Watson wcre'abnndant in their hospitality and hind attention to their guests, every one of whom will ever remember the occa? sion with the most pleasant memories. The merry perty dispersed promptly at 12 o'clock. The bride and groom were the recipients of many exquisite and valuable presents, which were greatly admired by the guests. On Wednesday morning Mr. and Mrs. Milford left Anderson for a trip through Florida and perhaps to Cuba. Mr. Milford, who is one of Anderson's most popular and excellent young gentle? men, has won for his bride a most lovely and accomplished young lady, and they are well equipped for the duties of life. The Iktellioekcer joins their many friends in extending congratulations and nest wishes, and trusts that their future may continue as bright and prosperous as this auspicious beginning promises. What Court is Doing. The Court of General Sessions for An? derson County was opened on Monday morning at 10,30 o'clock, his Honor, Judge Wallace, presiding. The following officers were at their posts, and pushed the business of the Court without delay: *'3olicitor Ansel. Stenographer Aiken, Clerk Tribble and Assistant Clerk Prevost. Sheriff Bolt and Deputy Sheriff Green, and Criers McGee and Carlisle. The members of the Bar were in their seats, ready to look after their clients in? terests. At roll call sixteen members of Grand Jury were present. Fleetwood Clinkscales was appointed Foreman. After being sworn, tbej' were charged by Judge Wal? lace, in substance as follows: It is your duly to pass upon the bills of indictment which will be handed you by the Solici? tor. A bill of indictment is only a formal allegation of the facts, and it is for you to determine whether they are sufficient to establish the presumptive gnilt of the party accused. Only witnesses for the prosecution appear before you, and if they make out a prima facie case, you must find a true bill; and unless you think the accused guilty find no bill, for a case should not be sent up for trial merely for investigation. Examine witnesses closely, and admit no heresay evidence. Twelve of you must agree, for no man can be found guilty of any crime without the agreement of twenty-four Jurors?twelve of the Grand Jury and twelve of the Petit Jury. Your duty is also to examine all offices of the public officers, and make a report thereon. The Grand Jury is of in? estimable advantage to the County, and almost indispensable in our system of Government. You are to serve one year, so that you have ample time to make thorough investigations, and attend to your other duties. Supplied with a goodly number of bills, the Grand Jury then retired for thoir con? sideration. On proper affidavit, Messrs. C. S. Skelton and J. Hillary Masters were excused from serving on Grand Jury; and Messrs. Chas. W. Young, A. J. Stringer, D. A. Ledbetter and John W. Ashley from the Petit Jury. The Grand Jury returned a true bill in the case of the State vs. Ed; Wilson, house-breaking and compound larceny. Ed. was arraigned and plead guilty, beg? ged for mercy, was assured he would re? ceive it, and sentenced to six months in the Penitentiary. A true bill being returned against Julius and Peter Clinkscales for breaking into Ivey Low's meat house and taking meat therefrom, the prisoners were brought in and plead guilty. They begged for mercy and Judge Wallace gave them the lightest penalty the law allows, five years in the Penitentiary at hard labor. A true bill was reported by the Grand Jury against Luthor Lawson, charged with murder. Emanuel Childs, a negro boy from Abbeville County, "took Christmas" in this place at too gay a rate, and when the police interfered he fired two shots at the officer at close range, but was captured and taken care of by; Sheriff Bolt. A true bill was found against him for assault and battery with intent to kill. He was ar? raigned, plead not guilty, and conducted his own defence. Superintendent Talbert, of the Penitentiary, will find employ? ment for him for the next two years. A true bill was reported against John Banister, charged with murder. His case is set for a hearing this (Thursday) morn? ing at 9.30 o'clock. In the case of the State vs. Thomas, alias Fakio Abell, up for highway robbery and larceny, a true bill was reported. No case being then ready for trial, the Court adjourned at 5 o'clock, to meet at 9.30 on Tuesday. Judge Wallance announced that Court would take a recess from 1.30 to 3 p.m. each day for dinner. Business has been a little retarded by absence of witnesses and Jurors, owing to high water and bad roads, the result of tho lste rains. On Tuesday morning tho first case called was that of the State vs. Cray ton Norrie, charged with larceny of live stock ?stealing a cow. A true bill having been found, Crayton was brought in, and, fol? lowing tho example of so many of his friends from the Jail, pleaded guilty, on the principle, wo supposo, that au honest confession is good for the soul. The Judge was lenient, and sentenced him to the Penitentiary for one year, and a line of one dollar. Harrison Williams was up on a similar charge, but on motion of his attorney, Wm. S. Brown, the Solicitor consenting, Harrison was allowed to go hence without day. Henry Beaty and Luther Stuckey wore charged with a like offunse as the above, but the case was not pressed, for good roa son, and tho accused were discharged from appearance before the Court. Munroe Durham, one of the few wbito men who is charged before this Court, was sentenced to pay a fine of $50, or be confined in the Penitentiary for three months for selling liquor without a license. Durham had just completed u term of six month's punishment in the Jail for a similar offence, sent thoro by the United States Court. The Grand Jury returned a true bill for murder against William Gambrell; also, true bill for assault of high and aggravated nature against Miles Stewart; aiao, true bill against Barney OTjouiioII for selling liquor to a minor. Allen Martin was arraigned on charge of assault with intent to kill, and carrying concealed weapons. His case went to trial, and the Jury found a verdict of ''not guilty." Murray & Murray roprosented Allen. The Grand Jury returned a true bill in the case of the State vs. Miles Stewart, Wm. Ethridge, John Hay nie and John W. Brock, charged with riot. "No bill" waB found against Charlie Traynham, sent up for assault of a high and aggravated na? ture The next case was the Stato vs. W. D. Colly, charged with being a party to an affray at a pic nie at Slabtown last May. After a trial of some length, the Jury re? turned a verdict of guilty, having been out nearly an hour. This rosnlt caused no little surprise, as Mr. Colly Boomed to have acted in self-dofence throughout the whole difficulty. The last case tried on Tuesday was one that afforded no little mirth to all present. Berry Abcli was being tried for highway robbery and privily stealing from the per? son. Bony wus unablo tu secure the ser? vices of a lawyer, ko ho conducted hi-i own defeuoe. The evidence was that he had asked a negro io change some money lor him, und when the accommodating dar? key took.somo monoy out of his pocket for thin purposo, Berry "made a haul," and secured $15. It happened in Mr. : Dleckloy'." stables last May. Berry is an intelligent negro, and evidently bad been in Court before. He conducted his case better than most persons who are without the aid of a lawyer; but of course he said and did a greut many ludicrous things. A verdict of guilty was brought in against him, and he was sentenced to the Peni? tentiary for two years. On Wednesday a. m. William Gambrell. col., was arraigned for tho murder of Luther Brock, white, on December of last year. At this writing the examination of the witnesses for the Stato has just been completed, and the chances favor an ao quittal. This case was interrupted by the coming in of tbe Grand Jury to make their pre? sentment, which was read. Judge Wallace said the County was to be congratulated on so good a report. As the presentment can't be given in this issue, we r;ivc below a very brief synopsis. They found all offices well kept, and ask? ed that a committee of their body be ap? pointed to make a closer examination at their leisure. They recommended that water workfl be put in tho Jail, and the same furnished with sewerage. They j found the Poor House in excellent condi? tion. TheV reported tho 'bar-keepers for violating the soctiou of the Goneral Stat? utes forbidding screens being used in the bar rooms. Thoy found that the County was out of debt, and had $64.40 to its cred? it in the Treasury. Two years ago there was an indebtedness of $8,700. The Court of General Sessions will likely finish up all business for its consideration by Friday._ Statement, 8howlng amount of Fines and Licenses collected by J.

From the state of the weather thus far in February, it seems that Hick's predic? tions are proving to be correct. Quite a large quantity of cotton has been sold in Belton within tbe last week, much of the cotton coming from a consid? erable distance from our town. - Mr. Mr. Joe Mattison, one of our es? teemed Trustees of the public schools in this District, and a popular salesman in the Farmers' Store at this point, has be? come a citizen of Belton, aud a prominent patron of tho Belton High School.

Mr. Walter Geer and his brother have visited Belton recently. Mr. M. L. Poore, the efficient express messenger between Knoxville and Salis? bury, is on a visit to his mother, Mrs. An? nie Poore, of our town. Mr. J. T. Rice says he did not rnn when the crazy calf ran at him; but his little boys say he snatched off bis hat and used it heroically to frighten off the approach? ing animal. Married, on Sunday evening, February 8th, 1891, by J. S. Acker, Notary Public, at his residence. Mr. G. W. Jordan and Miss Ethel Coolby, both of Greenville County. When that crazy bovine animal raised his head, sniffed the breezes, and, bring? ing forth a frantic bellow, lunged at Mr. Wash McGee, he (Mr. McGee) juatconld not stand it; that was all. He darted by "refexaction," as the school children would say, right straight through a plank, feet foremost. Mr. Floyd Cox, one of Belton's prom? ising young men, and a student in tbe Belton High School, made a visit to Greenville Saturday last. * Henoa Path. Mr. Johnson and wife, of Anderson, have been visiting relatives in town. B&tween seventy and Beventy-five bulex of cotton were sold here one day last week, and there is a probability of greater Hides this woek. Charades will be given Saturday night, February 14. Mr. N. A. Shirly has been quite sick for several days but is now much better. J. J. Trussell, Esq., and a large number of others, from near Honea Path, are attending Court iu Anderson this week. Mr. Jol'1 F.

Mattison, Jr., is visiting hia parents this week, Rev.A. C. Stepp preached au able ser? mon at the Baptist Church la&t Sunday.

The meeting will be held at New Mount Pisgah, in Brushy Creek Township. Respectfully, F. J. Washington, Sec. Hampton Greets Ingalls. Washington, Feb. 4.?Ingalls ap? peared in his seat in the Senate to day and received many manifestations of friendly regard from both Bides of the chamber. He held quite a levee, indeed, and bore himself witb admirable compo? sure, His manner was neither funeral nor flippant, He accosted his frlenda with a smile and replied to the cordial expressions of regret at his defeat in terms of feeling but not of gloom. He does not conceal a feeling of deep regret himself, but he takes tho result philoso? phically and refuses to be overwhelmed by it. "You behold," he said to a friend, "the innocent victim of a bloodless revo? lution." The phrase and the manner of its utterance fitted him in his best days, before any one would have believed that defeat for him was possible. Later in the day there occurred a Bcene which attracted general attention. Senator Hampton was not in his seat when Senator Ingalls first appeared, but upon coming into the chamber, and dis? covering the Kansas Senator present, the Senator from South Carolina crossed over and offered his hand. Mr. Ingalls, seeing Gen. Hampton approaching, had risen to his feet and stood awaiting him. The two eminent victims of the Farmers' Alliance squeezed hands cordially, and after an exchange of compliments appro? priate to the occasion, dropped into chairs and entered upon a long talk. They indulged in one or two hearty laughs, but in the main were serious. Mr. Ingalls, for all he has been bo severe in his censure of the South, numbers the two Senators from South Carolina among his closest friends, and their expression of good will to-day gratified him very much. ?
