Any person who furnishes reliable news is looked upon as a valuable friend to the editor. Many peraons hesitate about sending a postal-card or other informa? tion to x newspaper regarding the move? ment of themselves or their friends, lest the editor should think them anxious to aea their names in print. He will think nothing of the kind; he is glad to get such { notes.- Send a few and see.

The bride came to the city on the Anderson train accompanied by several friends.' A St. Louis paper says that glass may be cut with BciSBors as easily as if it were a piece of paper. The secret consists in plunging the pane of glass into a tub of water, submerging also the bands and the scissors. The scissors will out in straight lines without a flaw. This is achieved in consequence of the absence of vibration. If the least portion of the scissors is left out of the water the vibration will prevent the glass cutting, In another column will be found aye port of Mr. Terrell's speech last Thursday. Not knowing that the speech on Wednes? day morning would be a publie one, this paper was not represented at that meeting, out we hear that much the same views were given on each day.

I. returned from the Columbia Centennial last Friday, and each one expresses him? self as being more than pleased with the trip. The Cadets were admired by every? body for their perfect drilling and gentle? manly bearing. In speaking of the parade the News and Courier correspondent says of the Cadets: "None beat them on the march. Their step was regular and their line almost perfect." We learn from a letter received from Rev A. A. Marshall, who has been rest? ing for some weeks with relatives in Southeru Georgia, that he is rapidly re? gaining his health, and hopes very soon to be restored to his usual good health, 'lie will spend a few weeks in the moun t?ios of Tounessee, where he hopes to find benefit from the mineral waters of that section, so popular with seekers of health.

Humphreys, of this city, pre? sided at the annual meeting of the stock? holders of the Port Royal & Western Car? olina Company in Augusta last week.

President Johnson of theState Teachers' A?sociatio*> i* sending out pdsUl-card cir? culars to ? \rry white teacher in ihe State, calling tut' i? tion to the annual meeting of the State Tfitchers Association at Anderson on July the 22, 23 and 24th. The circu? lar recites the fact that the Teachers will be entertained by the citizens of Anderson, and that the railroads will give reduced rates. Membership tickets will be issued, which must be presented in order to get the privileges of the Association. The programme is almost completed aud will include addresses from Gen. Edward McCrady of Charleston, and other prom nent citizens. Capt. Tom. J. Lipscomb, one of the most popular "knights of the grip," and who travels for Thurber, Whyland& Co., New York, spent Tuesday in the city, and before his departure we were agreeably surprised to receive from him a beautiful box of "Wade Hampton Cigars," which is now the leading brand he is offering to his customeis in this State. The box lid bears the handsome face of the old hero, with tho following inscription : "18G1?1870? Forgotten. True and Tried. Hampton for Governor 1892." The cigars, like the old hero, are "True and Tried," and are meeting with a big sale wherever intro? duced. Many thanks, friend Lipscomb. A controversy is now going on" in the columns of the Intelligencer in refer? ence to Lebanon Church, which we regret waB ever commenced. We have no per? sonal interest in the mattter, nor do we believe a large majority of our readers frei any interest in it. Such controversies never do any good, and in nearly every instance tend to widen the breach between the parties and create more bitter feeling. In this case tho controversy will do Lebanon Church no good, for the subject is of a private uature, and should not be ventilated before the public. The con? troversy will have to come to an end some? time, and we think the time is now at hand. This week there appears two more communications in reference to the mat? ter, aud_we have decided that they shall be the last. We do this for the sake of peace and harmony, and for the good of the Church. A small party of intimate friends and relatives assembled at the home of Mrs. L. J. McFall, ou Belton Street, last Thurs? day morning, 14th inst., to witness the marriage of her eldest daughter, Miss Vi n nie, to Mr. G. Frank Bigby. At 9.30 o'clock the bridal party entered the parlor, Mr. J. C. McFall, the brother of the bride, leading with Miss Georgle Norris, of Co? lumbia, followed by Judge W. F. Cox, as best man, with Miss Lavinia Cater. The bride looked lovely and petite in a tight fitting travelling costume of light green olotb, made in the style of Louis XIV, with hal to match, and dark mode gloves, with a bouquet of lovely roses. The bridesmaids wore grey cloth, trimmed in steel, with hats to match. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Chas. B. Smith, of the M. E. Church, in a beautiful and 1 impressive manner. Many congratula? tions grr~ted the happy pair, and a shower of rice fc.lowed them as tbey repaired to their carriage. Mr. and Mrs. Bigby left immediately en route for Charleston, Au? gusta and other places of interest. The bride is a daughter of the late Dr. J. T. McFall, and one of Anderson's most ex? cellent and popular young ladiee. The groom is a promising young merchant of this place, his home by adoption, and we are glad that it may now be made perma? nent, for good fortune and success have each smiled upon him. Our best wishes go with the bride and groom. The pres? ents were numerous and beautiful. Among those present was the bride's ven enerable great-grandmother, Mrs. Z. Hall, whose presence added no little pleasure to the occasion. Andersonvllle Items. This vicinity was visite? with fine sea? sons the last few days. The farmers are well up with their, work. They, complain of a very poor stand of cotton on account of the long drouth. Some report the seed as having rotted in the ground. Don't suppose it will average half a stand. The corn is looking very promising, and we have the best prospect for wheat and oats that we have had in several years past. Miss Fannie Earle, of this section, Is vis? iting her brother in Oconee, and .we un? derstand is quite sick. We wish for her a speedy recovery and a safe return to her home. Rev- B. J.

The first pic nie of the season at this place occurred on Saturday, 4th inst., the party coming from Rock Mills Township. Among those present were the McLees, Gilmers and Skeltons. We presume they had a pleasant day. A lady requested us to say she is very much obliged to some one of the pic nie party for their kindness in putting her guano sacks in soak, and for other services rendered. The Sunday School at this place, with Mr. R. V. Dyar as leader, is moving emoothly along. W. Fair Flay Items.

Of course, he was visiting-friends. Messrs. J. T. Cox and R. A. Lewis paid a visit to Darlington last week. They re? port Darlington as being a business place, and say that down there is the place to farm. Cold and cloudy weather still continues. Some of the farmers have already grown despondeot. But wait until the sun be? gins to shine right, and we hope their de? spondency will disappear. Ask Mr. Carpenter how the debating so? ciety is progressing. Tac Townvllle News Scoops. A negro child three years old was burned to death last week on Mr. J. A. Burgess' farm. Mr. A. J. Maret, ? highly respected citi? zen of Fair Play, died Sunday of cancer, aged about 75 years.

Miss Rosa Ann Bowie died at her home near Fair Play recently after a long and painful illness. She was an estimable lady, and was well known in the Roberts' section of Anderson County. Mr. Lewis Cromer, of the Bethlehem section of the Fork, has a considerable acreage of cotton, which for regularity of stand, and luxuriance of growth, surpasses any I have yet seen. Children's Day was observed at Smith's Chapel last Sunday, and the occasion was both pleasant and profitable. Ad? dresses were made by Messrs. B. F. Brown and Geo. E. Prince, of Anderson. Dr. S. R. Heller, one of the best and most successful physicians in the County, is hav? ing an extensive practice, not only in tbe Fork, but also beyond the Seneca and Tu? galo Rivers. A. W.

It has been a long time, Mr. Editor, since the echoes of' the "Kingdom" have taken shape, and the happenings and tranupirings are various, and might be in? teresting to at least a portion of your readers. So here they come. We are not as formerly, "right side up," we are a lit? tle squawed, but not more so tban our neighboring communities. It is useless to tell you that we have had a good deal of weather this spring, and that it has not been the kind of weather it would have been if we Kingdomites had had the mak? ing of it There is a universal cry of bad stands of cotton, the worst perhaps that has ever been since that fellow struck "Billy Patterson." The depression among farmers is proverbial and alarming. The wheat and oat crop in places is good. M. A. Casey wears the belt in that respect. I, however, learn that S. M. Smith will dis? pute for the prize. 0. W. Casey has fine wheat, so has Wm. C. Martin?in short, the wheat crop is good. There is and has been .considerable sick? ness in our section, but no fatal cases. Miss Martha Wilson, an amiable young lady of the Kingdom, is seriously ill with typhoid pneumonia. Mrs. Nancy Stinson, the oldest lady in our community, is not expected to live. She is reported as being very low. T. D. Gaillard, who had set in to work with Dock Watson at the black-smithing business, got mad at Dock and turned him off. George Hopkins served Mart Casey the same- way. Both Gaillard and Hop? kins are now working at Capt. Wm. Wat kins', and fears are entertained by some that they may kick out of the harness over there and turn Capt. Billy off. Mr. John Holland, of the Waco section, io visiting the Kingdom frequently, and it is thought that be will "dump" near here. Old Mrs. Srundy and sister, Tattlebum, are visiting the Kingdom. We hope they will discontinue soon. Peace to their tracks, so long as their heels are this way. A debating society has been organized at Mr. J. M. Hamlin's school house, which promises to bo a success. Several elderly gentlemen are taking an interest in tbe society in order to influence the young men and youths of our country to become interested in this branch of instruction. The society meets fortnightly for the dis? cussion of such questions as are of vital importance, and such as will produce a "Thinks-I-to-myself in .the minds of young America." Mr. Hamlin, the pop? ular and efficient teao ber of the; Lebanon school, is taking a lively interest in the society. The public, and especially the ladies, are cordially invited to attend these discussions. Well, Mr. Editor, I was In Anderson yesterday and did not witness near the de? pression in business that I anticipated. Most of.the merchants seemed to be toler? ably busy, and their faces not much elon? gated. I did aim to pay my compliments to your sanctum and have a good old hand-shaking, but postponed my call until after I complimented Mrs. Riley's table. Don't know whether she considers it much of a compliment or not, but I guess she will endorse it if you spell tbe word with an e instead of an i. Well, feeling somewhat bloated I concluded to postpone altogether and see if me and "Tobe" could get home with Shanks. Oh I for a Little Charity. Editors of Intelligences : As Mr. T. T. Wakefield has thought proper to reply to the communicatioa in last week's issue of your paper signed, "A Member at Leb? anon," and bis memory of what took place seems very treacherous, I desire to state some facts that things may appear to the public as they really were, and not as they appear in fanciful imagination. Now, the Cnurch and pastor did not ask Mr. T. T. Wakefield to appear in thoir behalf in this controversy "*? vindication of the false statements and gross misrepresentations that seemed to be quite generally believed" or for any other purpose. It was a self-imposed duty, and how it was discharged must be seen by all cognizant of the facts. He is general, indiscriminate and wholesale in his charges against members of the Church, regardless of age or sex, and as indefinite as general, presenting nothing definite or tan? gible. Now, T. T. W., if you knew that there were members of your Church who did as they pleased with impunity, got drunk, &c, what were you about ? What was your duty? Was it to exhort tbe brother, and, if you failed to reclaim him, to tell it to the Church, or to publish it to the world through the public prints ! But, you say, we had no ruleB and could do nothing. Is it possible that you oould see drunkenness and unchristian conduct as detailed by you in your Ch'uroh and could not deal with it because you had no rules!' Shame! shame! Had you no now Testa? ment, and when you lost your rules had you no regard for the authority of Jesus in the New Testament? Does not Christ toil you what to do with the drunkard, with those who forsake the house of God, and with erring brethren ? Now, T. T. W., you depend more upon yqur New Testament, and less upon written rules, and you will not by general charges seek to injure and pall down the Church, that whioh Christ loved and for which he died. Again, T. T. W. says we have a class that believes they have a right to stay at home, an4 h^vp nothing else to do but to grum? ble and say things that uey&r happened about the Church^ that he does not know whether or not "A Member at Lebanon" belongs to that class or not, but that he is inclined to believe he does. 0! for a little charity which covers a multitude of sins. Now, T. T. W., tell us, with your New Testament in your hand, which is tho none, to stay at homp and grumble, or to go to Church, and then gp home ana grum? ble in the community apd through the publja press ? Be your own judge. In conclusion, I wiflh to s^y to T-. T. W. that if he has done the gross injustice w the other members of Lebanon Church whioh he did to ''A Member at Lebanon," in the unwarranted insinuations by which ho sought to place him in the class of those who stay at home and grumble, he has done wroDg enough for one's lifetime and should stop and do better in the future.

Salary $75 per month, and interest In the business, Referenoes and small cash capital required. 832 Broad Street, Augusta, Cla, . _ - ?' A Little More of the Matter, Editors Intklligenckr : The "Leb? anon Church Malter," as it is called, Is get? ting to be of a serious nature it seems, ana all on account of thfi gross misrepre sentations of some that are willing to move with the current, whether in the right direction or not. ? Our brother, in the last issue, was only speaking of the Pastor aud Church, and not for rights and facts, but we co.me, lay? ing down facts, whether the current "flows" in that direction or not, and let come what may. If God be for us, who can be against us ? The articles of faith and discipline of our sister Church will not be needed if no more attention is paid to them than what has been paid to our own. Neglect of duty of the Church has caused our articles to be laid away and forgotten somewhere, but could have been found if time and atten? tion had been properly used, but instead other articles had to be "rushed" in and pushed through, and no change can be observed whatever, for the very same members are there now that were there before, and have no more faith than they had before. Our brother was speaking of the numer? ous classes of members in our Church, and we will just say right here that he left out one class, and that is the one the current moves so easily. We don't know whether the brother is ofthat class or not, butjudging from his movable condition, we are inclined to believe he is. He is somewhat mistaken in what the Moderator said concerning our not being a Church. The Moderator not only said he could say "you were not a Church," but he said, "you are not a Churcb, and I challenge you to prove it otherwise." We believe our brother would say so, too, if he would only stop and think. Of course we need discipline, but we be? lieve in doing justice to all. "A member at Lebanon," we think, knows just as much about the proceedings of the meet? ing as any one that we have heard from yet, judging from his knowledge thereof. We all believe that we are the same or? ganized body now as we were before, and how can we be any more of a Church now than before. We have no more faith than before, and nothing else except a "rushed through," routine of articles, which will (if the rules are not carried out any better than they have been) be laid away and forgotten. But if we live up to the arti? cles, why then we will certainly bo a Church right. What are the articles without faith ? and what is a Church that has been organized under rules simply ? As far as the arti? cles are concerned we could do without them, if "faith was thick enough." Those who have to be forced to do right by the articles and rules of decorum are not worthy to be in a faith-organized Church, and a Church without faith is no Church, articles or no articles. The genuine Bible is a very good article to abide by, not to be used any more than it is. Come, brother, we must hold up for rights and facts. We regret very much that auch a "thing" as this has risen up, and we in such a weak condition, but it's a "faith-trying apparatus" and if we don't keep our eyes open eomebody will break over, we are afraid. Come along, dear brethren, and let us flock together, and let old Lebanon be a shining star once more. We believe all will be right now, if no more is said, and if faith is not lacking. We hope so, at least. Yours, very humbly, Sine Die. ? Judge Simontorf has passed an order appointing Mr. T. P. Hayne, of Green? ville, temporary receiver for the Georgia, Carolina & Knox villa railroad. This rail? road has been graded through portions of North Carolina, South Carolina and Geor gia, but only about ten miles of it?from rreenville to Marietta?was ever finished, and very few of the contractors who did the work were ever paid for the same. The railroad company is cited to show cause why the receivership should not be made permanent, and the writ is made re? turnable on the 27th of May. ? On yesterday we learned of a most peculiar phenomena that is taking place in this vicinity at this time. A most trust? worthy gentleman told us that the hair of Mr. George Phillips, who lives about two miles from this place and known to every? one, which was one month ago very white, he being 81 years old, was turning black, and that at the same rate of change will be in two or three weeks as black as in his youth. He has been a paralytic for sever? al years, and that fact makes the change of color the more strange.? Westminster Banner. ?
