The main secret .of being happy in hot weather, says an exchange, Is to bathe early and often, wear light clothing that can be frequently washed und changed, keep a clear conscience and eat very spar? ingly. The less we permit ourselves to think about the heat, the less we shall feel it. This is sound doctrine. The more we fuss and worry about a thing inevitable, the harder it is to bear. We are glad' to learn that our old friend, Mr. J. J. Finley, Sr., or Hall Township, who has been confined to his house for the past four weeks, is able to be out again, though he is forced to use crutches. We hope he will soon be entirely well.

He was about 24 years of age. About four or five months ago Mr. Hanna left Anderson for the West on a Srospecting trip, and the news of his eath was, therefore, a great shock to his wife and two little children and many friends in this section..; He was a.worthy, upright young man, and we regret ex? ceedingly to bear of his death.

The little girl had been sick for several weeks with fever, but it was only a few days ago that her symptoms were considered unfavora? ble. The parents have many sympathiz? ers in their bereavement. Mrs. Hannah Bolt, whose death we an? nounced last week, leaves a large posterity to mourn her death. She was the mother of nine sons and three daughters, and four of the former and three of the latter are still living. All of her sons served through the late war, and made most ex? cellent soldiers.

The elocutionary prize contest by Prof. Rayhill's class in the Opera House last Friday evening was witnessed by an ap? preciative audience.

Verner, of Richland, Oconee County, had to have one of his feet ampu? tated at the instep two weeks ago.

He stood the oper? ation very well until a few days ago, when he was taken seriously ill with dysentery, ann died last Sunday morning. He was 77 years old, and was one of the most promi? nent citizens of Oconee County. A widow and eleven children survive him. Mr. Patillo, in the first of the series of letters which he is contributing to the columns of the Augusta Chronicle about our growing oity Bays: "If T were asked to name the coming cities of South Caro? lina, Anderson would be one of the first in the list. I have not seen a place any? where in my travels through Georgia and South Carolina that impresses me so much. Taking Its location into consider? ation, with its magnificent agricultural surroundings and other manifold advan? tages, is to my mind, the most eligible location in South Carolina." Among the distinguished visitors who will attend the meeting of the South Car? olina Dental Association in this oity on the 14th inst., will be Prof. W. H. Mor? gan, Dean of the Dental Department of Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn. He will be a guest of the Association, and his presence will be highly enjoyed by its members. On Wednesday evening, 15th inst, Prof. Morgan will deliver an ad? dress in the Opera House on the "Trials and Triumphs of Dentistry," to which the public is cordially invited to attend. He Is an eloquent, interesting speaker, and his address will, no doubt, contain much valuable information, BS The Sheffield (Aln.) Reaper pays the fol? lowing compliment to one of Anderson's institutions: ''One of tho finest military schools in the South is located at Ander? son, S. C, known as the Patrick Military Academy. Col. Patrick is a fine teacher and disciplinarian, and has called around him a fine set of teachers?as fine as can be found in any school in the land. Tho United States Government has detailed an officer from West Point to take charge of the military department of the school. When a young man leaves the Patrick Military Academy with a diploma, he is well prepared .for the'.battle of life. We are pleased to see the success of the Acad? emy this scholastic year just past." ? There is a magnificent picture in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper this week of the proposed Casino at the World's Co? lombian Exposition in Chicago. ; This bit of Venice, reproduced on the shore of Lake Michigan, is to be a unique and beaiuiful feature of the great fair. The front page vividly portrays the scene on a Europe bound steamer at the moment of departure. "The Alaska Expedition," "Lassoing a Calf for Branding," and ama? teur photographs offer subjects for other illustrations. The last of Professor Tot ten'* articles on "The Millenium?What It Will be Like When It Comes," is con? tained in thin number. Printed in both German and English. Price, 10 cents. To-day (Thursday) has been appointed for holding the competitive examination in each County of the State for a scholar? ship in tbe Winthrop Training School, located in Columbia, S. C. The lady av? eraging highest gets a scholarship worth $150, given by the State; the one standing second gets a scholarship worth $30, given by the School. The competitors must not be under 18 years old, and will be ex? amined on the following branches: Geog? raphy, English Grammar, Arithmetic, History and Orthography. The School Commissioner did not receive official no? tice of tbe examination until a few days ago, consequently he has been unable to advertise it to tbe extent he would like to have done. The big magnates of the Eichmond & Danville Railroad system, who were trav? elling in a special train on an inspection trip, visited Anderson last Thursday. They did not tarry long with us, but in a few minutes had their train shifted to the Savannah Valley track and left for Au? gusta. The party consisted of General Manager Green, Traffic Manger Sol Haas, General Passenger Agent Jas. L. Taylor, Superintendent of Transportation W. W. Starr, General Superintendent McBee, Su? perintendent of Motive Power A. W. Glbbes, Chief Engineer Wm. Hunter, Mr. Joseph L. Graham, former Chief Clerk of Traffic, Manager Shellman, Mr. B. C. Ep? person, Superintendent of the South Car? olina division of the Central railroad, and Mr. T. R. Merry, Roadmaster of the same division. The News and Courier sneaks as follows of an Anderson County boy : "The final examinations of the John Hopkins Uni? versity have just ended and South Caro? lina has a representative among the new doctors of philosophy in the person of Mr. T. P. Harrison. Dr. Harrison is well known in Charleston, where he was first as I a cadet, then as an instructor in tbe South [ Carolina Military Academy. Resigning his position in 18S8, he entered tbe Johns Hopkins, where during this session he has been fellow for the department of English. I Dr. Harrison has studied in the depart [ ments of English, German and French, each one of these languages being, of course, studied with reference to histori? cal development. His dissertation is a scholarly discussion of the "So-called sep? arable prefix in Anglo-Saxon." The Greenville News, of Sunday says: "The closing exercises of the Pelzer academy were held in the town hall at Pelzer on Friday evening. Mias Carpen? ter, the efficient principal of the school, was unable to be present, but the exer? cises were in charge of her assistants, Misses Hard and McLoes, and consisted of recitations, dialogues, plays, broom and fan drills, songs and calisthenics. The entire program was successfully carried out and reflected great credit on both teachers and scholars, and was equally gratifying to the parents of the children and patrons of the school. After the close of the exercises twelve books, prizes for different classes, were presented to the successful contestants by Capt- A. E. Smythe, and the usual money prizes for the children who were regular in their at? tendance was handed them by Mr. W. E Owens. The school, one of tbe best insti? tutions of Pelzer, is run by the Pelzer man? ufacturing company and is kept open reg? ularly ten months in the year. It now closes for the summer holidays. The Georgia Central Railroad system having been gobbled up by the Richmond & Danville Railroad Company, Beverai important changes have been made at va? rious points along the line. The agencies at Anderson, Lau r ens, Greenwood and Au? gusta have been consolidated, and here? after the agency at Anderson will be in charge of Superintendent Epperson, of the P. K. &. W. 0. R. R. The S. V. depot has been discontinued, and hereafter the trains on that road will arrive at and de? part from theC. <fc G. depot. Mr. W. G, Johnson, who has been serving as agent of the S. V. R. R., will have charge of the freight depot under the consolidation, and Mr. L. H. Carlisle, who has been serving as ticket agent for tbe C & G. Company, will have charge of the passenger business of both lines. Both of these gentlemen are accommodating and efficient officers, and will continue to discbarge their du? ties faithfully. Mr. H. B. Fant, who is succeeded by Mr. Johnson at the freight depot, has had charge of the C. & G. depot in this city for eighteen years, and made a most excellent officer. He has been con? templating tendering his resignation for some time past, and had concluded to do so when the consolidation was announced. He will devote his whole time to the work of the ministry. On and after next Sunday, until farther orders, there will be only one train a day over the Savannah Valley Road, the schedule of which will be published next week. His Memory ?tili Liveth. Due West, S. C, June 12, 1891. Editors Intelligencer: After a lapse of many years it was my good pleasure to T*teit the home of my boyhood last week, and whilst visiting the family of Capt J. G. Williams, Spring Grove, Laurens Coun? ty, an ancient Scrap Book was handed me to examine by his good lady, and immedi? ately my eyes fell upon these lines,' which I enclose, thinking, perhaps, they, would freshen the minds of the friends of that gallant soldier, who was from your town, and who gave his life to our Lost Cause and who was a special friend of mine.

Tbe inoon arose In all its splendor O'er Manassas Piain, And seeni'd to shine with beams more tender On tbe graves of lost year's slain ; Young heroes full of bopo. Silence reigned in tbo camp that night; The jecund laugh was hushed; And many a brave and gallant knight A tear from his dark cheek brushed, As he thought of his far off homo. For many a youDg and Taliaut brave, E'er that moon should rise again, Would fill a soldier's early grave, Upon Manassas1 gory Plain? A second time baptized. One soldier from amidst the rest Withdrew to his tent all alone; He bowed his head, and his heart he prest, As he thought of the loved ones at homo. A second day tho battle raged; He thought of his wife and bis children three, And bis heart was filled with sorrow ! He wrote, "my last thought shall bo of theo, Should I fall upon tbe morrow." That soldier was still at his post; Whore the fight was hottest ho was engaged, For "he kept back no part of the cost," And fell a martyr there. Midst the din of1 ittlo tho summonb came; 'Midst the shoi j of victory, Ho yielded his lifo on Manassas Plain? A Eiicrhiey for liborty.

Ma. Editob : Will you allow me a lit? tle space in your valuable columns to give notice of the Children's Day, which was observed by tbe colored people of Moun? tain Springs Church on the 2nd Sunday In June ? The day was pleasant, the con ? gregation was large, and the exercises be? gan at an early hour. The Missionary ad? dress was delivered by S. J. Jones. The subject was ably baudled, entitled the "American Baptist Publication Society," an engine of power. The children, with? out a single exception, acquitted them? selves with credit. After the speaking, recitations and the best of music, a collec? tion for the Missionary cause was taken up amounting to over $0, after which a bountiful repast was enjoyed from numer? ous well-filled baskets. In short, the Children's Day at Mountain Springs was a success, and acknowledged by all present to have been tbe best thing of the kind that has ever taken place among the col? ored people in this community, and will long be remembered with pleasure by those who participated in it. May the Lord prosper and bless us in all good work. J. H. Hill. Bruno, June 2(1, 1801. In Court. On Wednesday morning the Grand Jnry brought in true bills against Henry John? son, James W. Crawford and Jewett Wil? liams, charged with carrying concealed weapons. John Clayton, having plead guilty to tho charge of larceny from the field, was sentenced to tho Penitentiary for.nine months at hard labor. Abe Millner was found guilty of having committed an assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and sen? tenced to pay $50, or go to the Peniten? tiary for four months. The case against Charlie Miller was not. grossed. Henry Johnson plead guilty to the charge against him, and was sentenced to pay a fine of $25, or go to the Penitentiary three months. The weapon he carried was a razor, which was forfeited to the State. In the case of the 8tate againBt C D. Madden, charged with forgery, a verdict of guilty was rendered, and the defendant having forfeited bis bond by his non-ap? pearance in Court, there is a sealed sen? tence awaiting him, sbonld the officers ever capture him. Jewett Williams was found gnilty of the charge against him, and not being pres? ent, a sealed sentence awaits him. Marcus Moorhead was sentenced to pay a fine of forty dollars, or be confined in the Penitentiary four months. Tbe Judge issued a bench warrant against C. D. Madden. John Scott, colored, found guilty of as? sault and battery with intent to kill, was sentenced to the Penitentiary for eighteen months. In the case of tbe State vs. Alonzo P. Alewino, charged with procuring signa? tures to written instrument under false pretences, a verdict of not guilty was ren? dered. James Craft was found guilty of an as? sault of a high and aggravated nature, and sentenced to pay a fine of $50, or go to the Penitentiary four months. Miles Stewart was acquitted of the charge of assault of a high and aggravated nature. Hey ward Welborn was released on his own recognizance in the sum of $200. He was charged with an assault with intent to ravish. An appeal was heard in the case of the State vs. Wm. McClellan, charged with employing labor under contract with an? other. The decision of the Trial Justice was set aside, and defendant's recogniz? ance discharged. There being no further business before this Court, the juries were discharged Thursday evening, and on Friday morn? ing the Court of General Sessions was adjourned. The docket of this Court was perhaps the heaviest ever known here, there being thirty-two cases for consideration. As a rule, the cases were not very serious ones, the concealed weapon law haying been most frequently violated. The following named prisoners have have been sent to the Penitentiary: John Moorhead, Miles Stewart, William Eth ridge, Charley Boyd, John Scott, John Clayton, James Craft, Henry Johnson and Richard Sanders. A notable and ex? ceptional feature of this Court was that three young white men (the three first named above) were sent to. tbe Penitentiary. Quite a number of the prisoners who were sentenced to go to the Penitentiary or pay a fine, paid the fine. The Sheriff informs the writer that be still has four prisoners in Jail, but two of them are United States prisoners. On Wednesday evening the Grand Jury made their presentment, which is given below. It is an interesting paper, and created much favorable comment. On Friday morning the Court passed a gen? eral order authorizing the execution, as far as possible, of the recommendations made by this body. It is a general im? pression that the Grand Jury is a progress? ive and intelligent set of men, who have been doing good work in behalf of the people and County, and it is hoped that the wise and timely suggestions they have made will be speedily acted upon, as they must commend themselves to the good judgment of all thinking citizens. The document is as follows: To his Honor, I. D. Withcrspoon, presiding Judge of the bth Judicial Circuit; The Grand Jury beg leave to present this their second report for the year. We have, through a Committee, visited the Poor House and farm, and are gratified to re? port the same is well conducted. As worthy of mention we report that we find on hand at this institution from 150 to 200 bushels of corn raised on the farm last year; also, 140 bushels of new wheat, and a growing crop that is very promising. We think the farmers generally might profit by a study of tbe system of farming there conducted. Mr. P. F. King is the Steward, and deserves great credit for this condition of affairs. We also visited the Jail and find the same insecure. The studding between the brick and the inside ceiling has rotted, and in some instances been cut away by the inmates, and the floor is giving away. We believe that a new Jail and a new Court House ought to be built at as early a day as possible. The following Trial Justices have pre? sented their dockets for our inspection, to wlt: B. F. Shirley, R. B. A. Robinson, C. P. Kay, W. F. M. Fant, S. O. Jackson, Jere Yeargin, A. E.Scudday, W. G. Field, R. W. Todd, S. N. Brown, R. V. Acker, Jas. H. Hutchinson and J. Jameson. The same were examined by a Committee of our body and found correct, showing re? ceipts for fines imposed. A case of abduction was called to our notice which we sincerely hope the Court will have prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. One Elbert Sizemore is re ported to have abducted three sisters, tbe youngest, Elizabeth Couch, only thirteen years of age, with whom be is now living in adultery. Witnesses to this are Alex. Jordan, Sr., Alex. Jordan, Jr., J. F. Ro? gers, Clarence Busby and M. I. Couch. We would again call attention to the fact that several of the bar-rooms in this city are violating tbe law by maintaining screens in their places of business. As witnesses to this we mention the names of the police officers of the city, J. R. Fant, L. Murphy, J. P. Reed and E. G. Rose. We also beg to call attention to our pub? lic school system. Tho safety of the insti? tutions of our Government, and the ad? ministration of the laws rests in tbe bands of the voters, and it is important that the ballot should be the judgment of a free, intelligent vote. Every encouragement, therefore, should be given to all institu? tions of learning in our County, believing that the highest development of her re? sources can oe brought about by a higher education of the people. We are also glad to note the interest be? ing taken in the efforts to establish an In? dustrial School for the education of wo? men, and in view of tne advantages to be derived from such an institution of learn? ing, we would urge our Senator and Rep? resentatives in the Legislature to procure the passage of a Bill authorizing a sub? scription in County and City bonds in amount sufficient to secure the location of Baid institution in Anderson. We have appointed tbe following Com? mittee of our body, to wit, F. Clinkscales, Foreman, Robt. Moorehead and P, B. Gentry, to examine the public offices of the County, and we ask your Honor to sanc? tion said appointment, and authorize them to call to their assistance W. W. Hum? phreys to aid them in said examination, and that tbe Committee be authorized to sit as long as it may be necessary to effectually do the work. We would also call attention to a prac? tice that prevails in many sections of far? mers ploughing into tbe roads and leaving the dirt, rocks and stumps in the roads and obstructing the same.

Smith, hia wife and little son, Master Campbell Wallace, all of Dublin, Ga., are on a visit to our pleasant little town. Mr. Smith is a prominent business man of bis town. He and his family are visiting his brother, Rev. J. T. Smith, of Belton. Miss Williams, of Lancaster, a very pleasant and attractive young lady, is spending some time in Belton, the guest of Mr. J. W. Poore. Mrs. Dr. Campbell and her sister, Mrs. John M. Geer, left home Monday after? noon to spend some time in Clayton, Ga. We trust they will have a very pleasant sojourn among the mountains of that sec? tion. We are sorry to learn that Miss Daisy Rice and Miss Rosa Poore have been sick for several days, We sincerely hope they will soon be well again and enjoy their vacation. Mrs. Dr. Brown and her son, Carroll, of Greenville, are on a visit to Belton. We are always glad to see Mrs. Brown. She was for many years, with her noble hus? band, one of our best citizens. Let us have a new and comfortable school building for the children of Belton and vicinity. Some have already signified a willingness to subscribe liberally to this much needed enterprise. One of the best business young men of our town said to this scribe a few days ago that ho would give 850, and more if nooessary, to get a good school house. Some others of our citizens who have several children to edu? cate, will subscribe liberally?probably $200 or more. Let us get to work as soon as possible. It is to be hoped that all the people ia our town and, community will become thoroughly aroused on the Bubjeot of a first-class school and school building in our midst. Let us prepare our children at home for the higher classes in College, and thus save a year or two's board and tuition at College. A real good school in a town is one of the very best advantages to a town. Little Grady, the three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. F.

The benefits accruing to poor men from carrying life insurance have recently had at least two striking exemplifications in thiB 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. Mr. Holcomb was insured in the Mutual Benefit, of Ne? wark, 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 horn the time proof was made. "Delays are Dangerous,"?Every one should promptly attend to this important matter and thereby protect their wives and ohildren, in oaso of death, from the dread? ful inconvenience of poverty.
