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

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.

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. Clifton Martin, of Neva,
Miss Addie Duckworth, of Williamston,
and Mr. A. T. Newell, of Hopewell, Miss
Lois Watson, of Anderson, and Mr. B. F.
Martin, of Atlanta, Ga? 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.

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. Kay and Willie Erwin, of
Erwin's and G. H. Jordan, of Princeton.
Mr. and Mrs. John Bagwell, of Prince?
ton, spent last Sunday in town as the
guests of J. R. Callabam.
Dr. Chas. Manly spent last Friday night
with Rev. M. McGee and preached for him
at Walnut Grove Church on Saturday. 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

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.

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.

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,

The value of a remedy should be estima?
