The session now drawing to a close has been a successful one. We regret to announce the death of Mr. James E. Vandiver, of Wacahoota, Ma? rlon County, Florida, which took place on April 24th, after a brief illness of a week. During the most of that time he suffered great agony, which he bore with remarkable calmness and fortitude. Mr. Vandiver was a native of Anderson Coun? ty, but settled in Florida about eight years ago. Never a very robust man, his constitution received a severe strain about five years ago from a protracted illness, which left him less able than ever to light the battle of life; but though enfeebled iu body, his indomitable perseverance and industry enabled him sines then to make a nice home and orange grove. He was a quiet but enterprising farmer, and an affectionate husband and father. He had scarce reached the meridian of life, being only thirty-one years of age. He leaves a wife and two bright little children, as well as many friends to mourn his early death, Four negro prisoners made an attempt on Wednesday evening of last week to make their escape from the County Jail. Having secured possession of an old knife and an iron hook, they managed to gain their entrance into the hallway and con? cealed themselves in the dungeon, the door from the hallway down stairs. It seems it was their purpose to overpower the Sheriff as he opened this latter door and then flee down stairs and make their escape. When the Sheriff came up stairs he suspected nothing, and when he placed his key to unlock the main door, Wm. Tice, a white prisoner, who made an attempt to escape a few days ago, spoke to the Sheriffand warned him of his danger. Sheriff Bolt went baok down stairs, and, calline Deputy Grceu to his assistance, forced the prisoners back to their cells at the point of the pistol. The negroes are now safely shaokeled to the floor, and it is not likely that the Sheriff will have any mope trouble with them, of which the door leading On our way home from tho State Press Association last week we stopped over in Columbia, and during our stav bad the pleasure of meeting Mr. T. H. Walker, formerly of Abbevillo, but who is now at the head of tbe Columbia Candy Compa? ny. Mr. Walker very kindly escorted us through his establishment and showed us how candy was made. The Company manufactures all grades, from the cheap? est stick to the finest French candy, and is selliug its good3 iu every section of the State. This is a borne enterprise and de? serves the patronage of tbe retail dealers throughout the State. Wo understand that tho programme of the closing exercises of Miss Minnie Bell's school, as published by us last week, was carried out with entire success. A large attendance greeted the children, and the order was just as good as it could be. The people of Starr know how to behave them selvfw* on such occasions. It is said to have been a most enjoyable evening. No d'lubt the people will long remember the 1st of May, 1891, with pleasure. Miss Minnie Bell makes a success of all her undertakings. We are informed that the School Commissioner was present, and will, we presume, givo some account of it next week. Mrs. Minnie Routh died at her home in Fork Township, at 9 o'clock a. m. Wednesday, 28th ult, in the 40th year of her age. She had been a great sufferer for nearly a year, but she endured her afflic? tion with rare fortitude and submission. She was a daughter of Rev. E. F. Hyde, who died some years ago, and was a grad? uate of Reidville Female College. Some twelve years ago she married Mr. Harvey C. Routh, who, with her three children, survives her. She bore a good name in all the relations of life, and will be sadly missed, not only in her home circle, but in the entire community. Her remains were laid to rest iu the Presbyterian grave? yard at iTownville, the funeral services being conducted by her pastor, Rev. T. C Ligon. The Columbia Record, of April 29th, says: "The illness of the Rev. R. C.Oli? ver is a Source of much concern to his friends. Three weeks ago he contracted a severe cold while preaching at a tent meeting in Leesville. Since that time he has been confined to his room and has been quile ill. He passed a sleepless night last night, and found great difficulty in breathing. His limbs are considerably swollen. Dr. Oliver's sickness is said to be the third relapse from a case of grippe, but as he has no physician no diagnosis of bis condition is possible. Dr. Oliver is a firm believer in the faith cure, holding its efficacy above any earthly remedy. For this reason, though urged to do so, he will take no medicine and refuses to see a phy? sician." The picnic at Cooley's Bridge last Sat? urday attracted a large crowd. Interesting speeches were delivered by John. G. Ca? pers, of Greenville, and School Commis? sioner Wardlaw, of this County. In many respects the day was a most enjoyable one. Several young men, however, imbibed too freely in whiskey, and as a result a difficul? ty followed', of which the Greenville News, of Sunday, gives the following particulars: "Tbe enjoyable pic nie given at Cooley's Bridge yesterday was disturbed by two fights of a serious nature. Several young men with too much whiskey aboard got In an ugly humor, and in the afternoon Lern Stancell and Pink Jordan became involved" in a fight on tbe Anderson side of the river. Jordan cut a long gash across Stancell's breast with a razor, making an ugly wound. Notwithstanding his wound, Stancell threw Jordan to the ground and was vigorously pummelling him when the combatants were separated. A short while later Jordan crossed to the Greenville side of the river aud got into a fight with James Smith, a friend of Stancell. Smith, it is said, used a pair of knucks effectively on Jordan, and the latter was carried off to have his wounds dressed. He was badly disfigured. The fights were the only dis? orderly incidents of the day, and were greatly regretted, as the people living in that section have always enjoyed good or? der at. their gatherings." Arrangements have been agreed on for tho National Bank of Anderson to transfer its banking bouse, entire equipment, good will, &c, on tbe 1st of next September to tbe Bank of Anderson as its successor, so that no interruption whatever in the bu sin ess will occur. The Board of Directors of the new organization will have a lim? ited amount of stock to dispose of, and persons desiring it can leave applications at tbe National Bank and obtain farther information in regard to it. Payments, it is believed, will not be called for before August, and installments will probably extend over a period from that time until about 1st January, 1892. A meeting of tbe new Board of Directors was held on Wednesday, 28th ult., at which all of the nine members were present, and the or? ganization completed by the unanimous election of J- A. Brock ^President, Syl? vester Bleckley, Vice-President, B. Frank Mauldin, Cashier. J. W. Bruce, Assistant Cashier, and Jcsepu N. Brown, Attorney. With its proposed oapltal stock of $200,000, and the large volume of valuable business with which the new Bank will start, no one, of course, will doubt its success. The new Bank will substantially be under the management of the old officers of the Na? tional Bank, which, of itself, will be of considerable advantage. The National Bank of Anderson to-day stands seventh in the four hundred National Banks of the United States, and its success, which has been remarkable, is due in a large meas? ure to its good management. Anderson's fire department is a credit to the city, and responds to alarms with an alacrity that is astonishing. The boys were out practicing one night last week, made some good runs, and threw water with very little delay. Now for a sugges? tion : Anderson's companies are inferior to none in the State. They are a handsome set of fellows, and exhibit some fine speci? mens of manhood. The efficiency of tbe fire department is a matter of vital im? portance to a city's welfare and growth. In the next few months three important Associations, one in June and two in July, with representatives from every section' of tbe State, will be held in this place. By these people every enterprise and institution in Anderson will be dis? cussed to a multitude of persons. While here these representative men and women of the State will form their estimate of our population, of our citizenship, and of those individuals with whom they come in contact; of our factories, banks, places of business and hotels; of our railroad facilities and local transportation; of our enterprise, energy and hospitality, of city government, police department and fire department. If they are pleased, their favorable impressions will be retailed to a thousand interested ears, and their Ideas of the place will be the ideas of the hun? dreds who listen, but have never seen An? derson. To let these visitors be well in? formed of such matters, can not "the boys" of the fire companies get themselves into good practice and give some exhibi? tions of skill and runs similar to those made a few years since in Newberry and Charlotte, where they won such well merited applause? Such entertuinment will be enjoyed end appreciated, and will advertise Anderson extensively. Gentle? men of the Anderson Fire Department, move in this matter, and make a fine dis? play. . Your prowess will receive the com? mendations and plaudits of observant and intelligent bodies of Carolinians, who will sing your praise from the mountains to the sea. We will have other suggestions as to various matters for the entertain? ment of these people while they are our guests. Centervllle Item*. The farmers jare generally through planting in this community. The wheat crop is looking fine. One of our citizens says there will be a good crop of wheat this year, because he hasn't any sowed. There waB a large and attentive congre? gation to hoar the able sermon of Rev. Mr. Pinson on the last third Sabbath at new Prospect Church. There will bo an? other special sermon for the benefit of the fathers and mothers of this commuuity on the next third Sabbath in May. There are some right bad boj's in this community. When a little five-year-old boy was cutting up at a terrible rato, his mother said: "Go along aud hush, or I will slap your jaws." The little fellow said, "do it and then talk about it." It has not been long since a young man of Centerville said that 1 must tell the girls when they go a fishing to come to tbe mills. There is a large fish that hasn't been caught yet, and some of them may stand a chance to catch him. J. M. F. Tribute of Respect. Whereas we have heard of the unfortu? nate death of Master Foist Geer, one of our former pupils. Be it, therefore, Resolved, We, the members of Eureka 8unday School, jointly tender our heart? felt sympathies to tho bereaved parents in their sad affliction, aud point them to Him who is able to heal our afflictions and dry our tears. Resolved, That a copy of these resolu? tions be sent to the parents of our deceased friend, and a copy furnished the Ander? son Intelligencer for publication. 'AvaAjK Camtuki.l, Secretary. Eureka S.

The ladies of the Baptist Church have decided to improve their house of worship by putting iu a baptistry and making other improvements. Hurrah for the ladies! Williamston is certainly on tho up grade. I Our genial townsmen, G. H. Mahon, 0. D. Gray, J. P. Gossett and Dr. W. D. Hutto, are off the road for a seasoa shak? ing hands with their old frieuds here. Mr. Henry Gossett, of Greenville, is visiting his brother, James P. Gossett. Miss Bennio Mathews, of Newberry, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Mrs. W. W. Griffin. Some of our citizens speak of going to the Southern Baptist Convention in Bir? mingham, Ala. Dev.-. Williamston, S. C, May 5,1891. Cards of invitation had been out some time inviting friends and relatives to the marriage of Miss Naomi, daughter of Capt. B. C. Martin, of Williamston, to Mr. Lawrence R. Tucker, of Orrville, S. C. On Wednesday, 29th ult., quite a large crowd assembled in the beautifully deco? rated parlor with Miss Kathleen Lander, of WiiliamBton, S. C, at the organ. As the bridal party entered the room the mu? sic began, and continued until the bride and groom stood beneath the wedding bell in front of the officiating clergymen. The following is the order in which they entered the room: Revs. D. Weston Hiott and Robert D. Hawkins, the little flower girls, with beautiful flowers?Nina Breaz eale and Birdie Duckworth, Miss Lenora A. Martin, of Williaraston, and John B. Tucker, of Orrville, Miss Allie Major, of Neal's, and Dr. James T. Wilson, of Honoa Path, Miss Mamie Wilson, of Wil liamston, and E.

Miss Maggie McGee, of Starr, and Mr. Whit. W. Smith, of Lebanon. When the music ceased the silence was broken by the voice of Rev. D. Weston Hiott, the pastor of the bride. After a brief ceremony, Rev. Robert D. Hawkins offered an appropriate prayer, and Lawrence R. Tucker and Miss Naomi L. Martin were pronounced husband and wife. Congratulations followed and then came the supper. We shall not attempt to describe the many good things; suffice it to say that everybody must have been satisfied, for we heard some say that they had never been present at a more enjoya? ble wedding, nor a better supper. On the day following a magnificent reception was given at the palatial home of the groom. How delightful such occasions! Who could help but enjoy them ? The presents were many and valuable, and the young couple start out in life with bright pros? pects. The bride is the oldest daughter of our efficient County Commissioner, and one of the best girls we have ever known, and the groom is a prosperous young far? mer, and no one who is acquainted with the Tucker family will doubt his ability to succeed in his chosen occupation. May the richest blessings of this life be theirs, and finally the rewards of the righteous. D. W. H. Honea Path Items. The annual pic nie at Erwin's will take place next Friday, 8th inst. The following committee have been appointed to see that there shall be no misbehavior! C. E. Har? per, J. R. Callabam and J. C. Milford, of Honea Path ; P. C. Tribble, of Donnalds ville; J. V.

A large congregation assembled there on Saturday, carrying their dinner with them, and spent the day in worship. Mr. J. R. Latimer and Miss Lillie Harri? son visited the letter's father at Fair view last Saturday and Sunday. Many who attended the pic nie at Coo ley's last Saturday express themselves as disgusted with the behavior there, and say they will never attend another pic nie at that place. Several men seem to think that Cooley's Bridge pic nie is the time for them to get drunk, fight and swear. It seems that it would be well for those who manage the pic nie..to appoint marshals and look after such characters. Prof. H. H. Watkins visited relatives in Honea Path last week. A Sunday School has been organized near Capt. G. M. Mattison's. Mrs. R, W, Burts is still quite sick. Quite a number of persons from this place will visit Columbia next week. Mrs. H. E. Watkins spent a few days with her son in Anderson last week. Money is being made up to purchase a new organ for the Broadmoutb Church. Mr. J. C. Latimer spent last Monday in Anderson. An effort is being made here to build a cotton seed oil mill. This is a step in the right direction, and our citizens should take hold of tbis matter. Tbis would be a good investment, and there Is no reason why we could not have a cotton seed oil milliu Honea Path. The County Teachers' Association will meet at this place Friday night, 15th inst., and Saturday following. P. Town Creek Items. We, the people of this region, are mock? ing those who try to farm. All are about done planting, and rain is very much need? ed. We have planted our long rows in corn and the point rows in cotton. Mr. F. L. Brown lost a valuable milk cow a few days ago.

Remarkable Proceedings. j Editors Intelligencer : The proceed- I ings of the Lebanon Church, in this County, at its last regular meeting were remarkable in the extreme. It is very much to.be regretted that they were made public through the columns of the Intel ligenceu, but since they have been made public, and become the subject of consid? erable comment, it may be well that more of the particulars be known and the posi? tion which the Church occupies with other religious bodies seen. The Modera? tor stated that there was no Church, and had not been, because they had no rules and were divided. Strange! strange! that the Lebanon Church has never had a New Testament, for if they had, they would have had tho supreme rules for the government of individuals and Churches. The fact, however, is that the Lebanon Church has always had both tho Bible and rules for the government of the Church. The Lebanon Church, for more than fifty years, has been an organized Church; among its pastors were Simmons, Hayes, Wingo, Ervin, Murray and Marshall. Hundreds, through long years, were added to the Church, lived in the Church aud died members of the Church, having enjoyed all the privileges of Church ordi? nances; and yet they were never mem? bers of any Church, they never enjoyed a Church ordinance. The inscription upon the tomb-stonos of thoso who sleep In the cemetery near by. of their long continued membership in the Church, is not true, for there waa no such Church. A more difficult question still presents itself. How did the present Church come into existence ? I know of no way, leav? ing restoration out, by which any person can become a member of any Baptist Church, except by a profession of repent? ance, faith and baptism, or by letter. In the present case there was no such Church, no pastor, no members of a Church. How did they organize a Churoh under such circumstances. The quesliou arises, is the uew organization a Church or not. It is composed mostly of those who wero members of no Church upou their signing rules, regulations, <tc, whioh were adopt? ed by them. Wiser heads must solve these questions. A Member at Lebanon. Card of Thanks. My sincere thanks, and tho lhanka of my family, are hereby tendered tho ladies of the Proabyterian Church for the erec? tion of a very neat memorial stone at the grave of my wife, lately deceased, Tbe blessing of God be with them. D. E. Fbikrsok. VIMt to Anderson, &cr Editors Intelligencer: I was born on the 2nd day of February, 1814; married Miss Mali83a H. Brawner 9th day of Jan? uary, 1838; lived a contented life until 1879, when it pleased a kind providence to lay His afflicting hand upon ray dear companion in the spring of 1878, which He pressed gradually heavier and heavier, until the IGth of July, 1881, when He took her to Himself. Meekly bowing to His will, I lived a bereft old man "until the 22nd day of July, 1888, when I became united, by marriage, to Mrs. Rebecca G. Caldwell, of Anderson County. At her request, I moved to her farm, near Hol? land's Store, where again I was a happy man. Together we lived, as happy as was possible for two people to live, until on the night of the 21st of December, 1889, the same kind Providence laid his afflict? ing hand upon my last hope for earthly happiness, and on tlie 10th day of Janu? ary, 1S90, He bade Iiis guardian angels to carry her sweet spirit to its peaceful home, in that mansion that her blessed Saviour had prepared for her. Knowing that He doeth all things well, I bowed with hum? ble submission to His Heavenly will. Again bereft, desolate and alone, I looked out on the busy world of mankind, as one alone in a strange land; yet not In a strange land, for a kind Providence bad set me in the midat of as kind and hospita? ble a people as lives in any section of country: 'i'Lore is the Hollands, Glenns, Witherspoons, 8trlcklands, Littles, Earles, WhittakerB, Winters, Sullivans, Cardins, and a host of neighbors that could be mentioned that will ever have a warm place in my heart. Still it does not stop there. While bo journing in South Carolina 1 became par? tially acquainted with the famous City of Anderson, with magnificent edifices, with its Shoe Factory, Oil Mill, Spinning Mill, Water-Works, Electric Lights and Hotels. Time and apace deprive me of giving a description of the beauty and grandeur of the beautiful city. But I cannot stop without a brief mention of the many prominent business men of the city. The drug department to-wit: Orr & Sloan, Todd Bros., Hill Bros., Simpson & Son and Wilhite & Wilhite. Then the almost innumerable fraternity in the mer? cantile department, viz: C. F. Jones & Co., Jones, Seybt & Co., the two Sulli? vans, the two Browns, R. 8. Hill, Sylves* ter Bleckley Co., Lesser & Son and Flynn & Co. My limited acquaintance prohibits my naming them all. Then the' various officers of all the different Courts, viz: G. F. Tolly, W. W. Homphreys, Judge Cox, Col. Tribble and corps, together with all the subordinate offices. Sheriff Bolt and his deputy are the right men in the right place. The legal fraternity, as far as my ac? quaintance extends, are the equal of any city in the up-country, viz: Murray & Murray, Prince & Tribble, Breazeale & Long, W. S. Brown, and others that I did not have the pleasure of forming an acquaintance. All are held in high es? teem by the writer, especially W. S. Brown, Esq., This affable gentleman and lawyer is unsurpassed in devotion to h;s duties, to his client and to the law. All know that he means what he says by his gestures and the peculiar nod of his head, while delivering a speech. And his brother, Col. J. N. Brown, courteous and affable gentleman, whom I cannot pass without taking his name into the account. Having some legal business in Court, 1 had occasion to step into tho Bank, in? quiring for W. S. Brown. In a little con? versation he supposed that I might need a friend, and he made me a proposition to the effect that if I needed help he would grant me all I needed. This being the second time I ever spoke to the Colonel, the favor was highly appreciated. And if I never am fortunate enough to meet with him again, I wish him to know that I am as grateful to him as if I had accepted his kind offer. I cannot close without wishing the In? telligences much success, as well as the Journal and the Advocate. All are workers for the Democratic cause.- But being a reader of the Intellioencee for three years, of course pleasant intercourse pro? duces friendship. M. W. Gillespie. La Grippe Again. During the epidemic of La Grippe last season Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, proved to be the best remedy. Reports from the many who used it confirm this statement. They were not only quickly relieved, but the disease left no bad after results. We ask you to give thisjremedy a trial and we guarantee that you will be satisfied with results, or the purchase price will be re? funded. It has no equal in La Grippe, or any Throat, Chest or Lung Troubles. Trial bottles free at Hill Bros. Drug Store. Large bottles, 50c. and $100. Happy Hooslers. Wm. Simmons, Postmaster of Idaville, Ind., writes: "Electric Bitters has done more for me than all other medicines com? bined, for that bad feeling arising from Kidney and Liver trouble." John Leslie, farmer and stockman of same place, says: "Find Electric Bitters to be the best Kid? ney and Liver medicine, make me feel like a new man'" J, W. Gardner, hardware merchant, same town, says: Electric Bitters is just the thing for a man who is all run down and don't care whather he lives or dies; he fomd new strength, good appetite, and felt jast like he had a new lease on life. Only 50c. a bottle at Hill. Bros. Drugstore. A Big Enterprise, The largest stock of rough, dressed and dried Lumber in Anderson. The very best pine Shingles in great quantity.

Pevbe Posch er, 44?2 Recording Secretary. Delays are Dangerous. The benefits accruing to poor men from carrying life insurance have recently had at least two striking exemplifications in this county in the deaths of Messrs. De Witt C, Holcomb and S. B. Brownlee. Each of these two had only paid an annual premium and settlements were promptly made as soon as the necessary papers were made out. Brownlee and Holcomb were both insured in the Mutual Benefit, of Newark, N. J., which is represented in the Fork by G. N. C. Boleman, and in this city by G. W. Miller. This is one of the strongest and most reliable companies, be? ing in its 4Gth year of existence and hav? ing 50 millions of assets. It deserves special mention for its prompt settlements, having adjusted Mr. Holcomb's claim within ten days fiom the time proof was made. "Delays are Dangerous."?Every one should promptly attend to this important matter and thereby protect their wives and children, in case of death, from the dread? ful inconvenience of poverty. Look out for the Agents of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, and take a policy without delay. G. W. Miller, G. N. C. Boleman, Agents.
