Columbia, Miss Hannah Hempbill,' of
Abbeville, and Miss Mary Yearpin, of
Lanrens, came to Anderson last Friday
afternoon and remained over until next

pot by a Committee of citizens in car?

pressed with Anderson.
Mr. John A. Stevenson, of Humboldt
County, California, is now visiting his old
home in this County, and, of course, is
warmly welcomed by his many old friends
and relatives. Mr. Stevenson is a son of
the late James Stevenson, of this County.
He left his native home in the spring of
1853 and went to California, where he set?
tled and has ever since resided. This is
his first visit back to bis old home, and he
.says this whole country has gone through
a wonderful charge, so much so that noth
I ing looks natural to him. Mr. Stevenson
is a remarkably well preserved man, and
it is quite interesting to hear him talk of
his far distant home. He expects to pro?
long his visit at least a year iu our midst.
Noah L. Parker is an escaped convict
from the Georgia Penitentiary, who has
been living in this County the past two
years. He was sentenced to the penitenti
tiary from Newton County, Ga.,fora term
of twelve years, having b^-en convicted of
manslaughter, and, after serving one year
of his sentence, made his escape. A few
weeks ago Mr. N. R. Green, our efficient
Deputy Sheriff, received information that
Parker was wanted in Georgia, and he
quietly went to work and soon located him
near Starr, where he was living under the
name of Lewis. On Sunday morning
Officer Rose, at the request of Mr. Green,
went down to Starr, and assisted by Mr. J.
W. Ferguson, arrested the prisoner, who
was brought to the city and lodged in jail.
On Monday afternoon Mr. Green left with
his prisoner for Atlanta.
Our Mr. Langston received information
a few days ago that an unknown young
man had died suddenly in Nashville,
Tenn., and from letters found in his pocket
it was believed to be his brother, Sam'l. H.
Langston. Correspondence was opened
with the attending physician and friends
in Nashville, and from the information re
ceiyed there is no doubt that the young
man is his brother. Mr. Langston had
been living in North Alabama for the past
two years, and two months have elapsed
Binoe his family had heard from him. It 1b
supposed he had beeu sick for some time,
and wp'Mirobably on his way home, as he
had ju ..rived in Nashville on the day he
was stricken down. He was kindly cared
for by unknown friends, and his remains
interred in the city cemetery. Death, un?
der any circumstances, brings sadness to
the hearts of loved ones, but when one
dies away from home and among stran?
gers, it is doubly sad. May God comfort
the bereaved mother and other loved ones
in their sorrow.
Maj. E. P. McKissick has resigned his
position on the staff of the New* and Cou?

McKissick will do well wherever you put
him, and when his friends visit Asheville
they may expect to be well cared for.

?le. Dr. E. C. Ridgell, the accomplished

In an eloquent and appropriate address
Ma.tor Tolly, in behalf of our citizens,
gave the Association a cordial welcome to

teroiB by Dr. A. T. Peete, in behalf of the
Association.
After transacting some routine business,
several very interesting papers were read
on ' Operative Dentistry." This subject
was then taken up and discussed by a
number of the members. The proceed?
ings throughout the day were full of in?
terest to the members.
At the evening session the subject of
"Dental Education" was ably discussed,
nearly every member having something
to say.
The programme for Wednesday was a
very instructive one, several subjects of
great interest to the profession having been

Rosser and J. S. Thompson, of Atlanta.
Dr. Brown has a fine display of dental
material, which be is exhibiting to the
Association.
The Association is composed of hand?
some, genial gentlemen, and we hope their

them as it is to our citizens to have them
with us.

Onr Children's Day was followed within
one week by two rare social events in the
reception of the V. Chapter of C. P. S. on
Tuesday evening, and the banquet of the
Calhoun C. L. S. V. on Friday evening.
We had scarcely found time to thank
Superintendent Dunlap for the excellent
speaking and singing and recitations of
"Children's Day," when we were called
to attend the Y. reception at the residence
of Dr. T. A. Hudgens. The young peo?
ple of the town, and several from abroad,
were invited. Every arrangement had
been made for the pleasant entertain?
ment of the guests, and none of the effort
was wasted, About sixty persons were
present, and about sixty voted this one of
the most pleasant occasions ever experi?
enced. The V. boys know how to enter?
tain and whtre to hold a reception.
Among the visitors from abroad were
Misses Maggie Branyon, Zula and Alma
Brock, Anna Clinkscales, Hattie.and Cora
Crowther, Jennie Erwin, Annie Henry,
Rosa Tribble and Maude Wakefield, and
Messrs. W. E. Breazeale, Eugene Burts
and Willie Clinkscales.
The Chautauqna banquet was held at
the home of Mrs. H. E. Watkins, and
was no less enjoyable. Rev. A. C. Stepp
was Rex Convlvii, and no king ever had a
more pleasant reigo. The following is a
li-t or the toasts: "Philomatheans," L.
W. Rico; "The Carlisle Circle," H. H.
Watkins; '-The Calhoun Circle,!' J. B.
Walking; '-South Carolina," .B. P. Estes.
Tli.- parly udjuurned at 1 o'clock, regret

Moseley News.

and Mrs. D. L. Barnes, of Anderson, are
visiting the family of Capt. Barnes. Hope
they will decide to remain some time
with ns, as we feel sure they will be
pleased with the sanitary as well as other
advantages of our community.
There is a too common disposition
among men to murmur and jest about the
weather. We remember hearing a few
days ago, during the pleasant spell after
the rain, rather cold than otherwise, one
party come up to where several others
were collected discussing the remarkable
coolness of the weather, and to make
some introductory remark, stated that the
weather was very warm. His chagrin
was sickening to behold, as you can well
imagine, when the only response was a
suppressed laughter.
We have heard of a young man in the
Corner who, when he carries his girl to
an evening gathering, takes his lantern
with him, no matter whether it be a
moonlight or a moonless night. Wo sup?
pose his object is to be able to catch all
the gleams from her lovely countenance,
and not allow them to waste their sweet?
ness on the desert air. His idea is a mod'
orn and original one, for it is quite an an?
cient sentiment that the twilight shades
are most favorable to cupid's method of
warfare. His girl, we are sure, will agree
with us.
Our friend B. recently expressed an
opinion of old widowers in the following,
which meets with our hearty approbation :
First is he on a Sunday fair,
To black and shine his boots with care ;
First to appear on the Churchyard
grounds,
To greet the belles in finest gowns;
First to mention the theme of love,
To expatiate on the bright-eyed dove;
First to pop the question to Bess,
But last to hear the answer "yes."
Our wants were anticipated, for in the
same issue of your paper that we expressed
a desire that we should have another cor?
respondent, as one alone would be unable
to hear all the news, and hearing it would
not be altogether impossible tor him not
to note down a "few things" that might
slip his memory. We thank Mr. "Pedro"
for his early compliance with our request.
We think his maiden contribution shows
that he possesses some of the characteris?
tics of a writer, and that he will, by ap?
plication, get up some very readable arti?
cles. We suggest it, "Mr. Pedro," for
your own pleasure, and do hereby extend
to you a cordial invitation to attend our
next pic nie, where we will introduce to
you a bevy of girls, whose sweet disposi?
tions will cure you of your morosenoss,
and act as a charm to secure them from
the violent attacks of the polysyllabic
critio. There are a few things that we
would like to mention, but will leave for
"Pedro" to enlarge upon, viz:
The one for whom I set my cap,
The dog fight on the street,
The negro paraders' sad mishap,
Because he did not tie old Pete.

1 think the farmers of this section would
be glad to see it rain, for the crops are

A Note from Carswell Institute.
The old complaint, "it is so dry," is
cured. It has rained, and the frowns on
the faces of our farmers, who complain of
such, again become smoothe.
We have no exaggerations to make of
our crops in their present condition, while
at the same time we would not refuse a
challenge from any of our neighbor crop
committees as to tho superiority of farm?
ing, or as to the present outlook of its
yield. A great many of our farmers are
done hoeing cotton for this season, and
have also finished laying by their upland
corn. In this immediate settlement the
cotton, the first planting especially, has not
grown any for near two weeks, and it is
generally conceded that the recent show?
ers of rain that we have been blessed with
is insufficient to produce a second growth.
We may speak of the people around the
Institute as being honest, thrifty, educating
themselves politically and liberty-loving;
but we wish to answer them as Christ did
the rich young man who went to Him to
know what he must do to inherit eternal
life: "One thing lacketh thou yet," and
that is in the care and the keeping of the
Carswell Institute. Here we have a house
well supplied with charts, maps, a globe,
and a good organ, which is exposed to
every passer-by. We learn that both white
and colored avail themselves of this oppor?
tunity to peruse the charts and thump on
the organ, I will ask the trustees or the
patrons of the school to wake up to a sense
of dnty in reference to this matter, and re?
member that the old adage is literally true,
"a stitch in time saves nine."
Miss Ella McAdams has returned from a
visit to relatives over the river, and reports
a pleasant time.
Rev. Mr. Fennel has taught three days
of the singing school that was alluded to
in the last Intelligencer, but has sus?
pended until the 17th instant, when he
will again commence, and perhaps go on
without any more delay. We think Mr.
Fennel well qualified to do this work, and
have never seen a class make more progress
for the same length of time than the one
under his present tutorage.
Since Mr. A. P. W. has gotten out of
the grass, he has given himself a clean
shave, so that he could have it to say. "I
am clean physically as well as cropically."
We are glad to note at the present writing
that Mrs. S. 0. Jackson is improving from
a severe illness.
A young man of thiB community called
on his best girl a few nights ago, and to his
sad disappointment found that he had
missed his supper between the houses. In?
forming the young lady of his awful con?
dition, she at once rose up to prepare it,
when he interrupted her by saying that a
kiss was all he wanted for supper. She,
turning around facing him, with her hand?
kerchief to her mouth, and brushing it a
time or two, answered very lowly and
sweetly, "supper is ready."
Misses Lucia Reidand Mary White Pear?

A re-uuion of the survivors of Company
"F," 24th Regiment, will be held at the
Carswell Institute the'22nd inst. The com?
mittee of arrangements have secured the
"Anderson Band," so we will have some
good music interspersed with the speaking.
A large crowd is expected, and we think
it not out of place to inform the ladies,
when they go to cook dinner for the 22nd,
to be sure and put the big pot in the little
one.
Mrs. B. D. Hall has arrived home from a
five months' stay in Atlanta. She went
there for medical treatment. We are glad
to note that she is much better.
Your correspondent has not noticed a

Sparks From the Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Bruno is in the same
old place, but many changes have taken
place therein since my last communica?
tion. The farmers were all in the grass,
now they are out, then we were too wet,
now we are too dry, then "Dock" had two
stands, one of cotton and one of the other.
Well, he has two stands yet, bnt it is a
stand of cotton and corn, all clean and in
beautiful growing order. "Dock" called
at the mansion a few evenings ago and
prevailed on me to take a Beat in bis buggy
and go borne with him and view bis crop.
I went, for it was the first time I had been
there in seventeen years. I bad a pleas?
ant ride with "Dock," and a pleasant
hour with the family at the old home?
stead, near by where we used to muster in
the days of "Auld Lang Syne." It was
here I heard Col. J. L. Orr from the stump
for the first time. Well, just as I was tak?
ing my leave of Dock and his two sisters,
Quss, who was on his return from Pendle
ton, drove up and invited me to a seat in
bis buggy, and to come round by his
home and take a peep at his crop. I shall
never regret accepting his invitation. I have
felt better ever since. Guss has a large,
fine crop?it is simply hard to beat. I am
not certain it can be done.
F. W. Mays has the best piece of upland
corn I ever saw, and if the seasons suit it
will make at the rate of fifty bushels to the
acre.
I learn that M. B. Richardson and his
lady have gone to the mountains. They
go there under the hope that it will prove
beneficial to Mrs. Richardson, whose
health has been failing for several mantbs.
Mrs. Sullivan, of Abbeville County, is
visiting her daughter and son-in-law, J.
T. Pressley of the Kingdom.
"Boss" and T. W. Welborn are off on a
visit to Toccoa Falls, Ga.
Cowan's tent worship, at Trinity, is in
full blast.
We look for "Jesse Homes" to visit us
next. He will certainly find plenty of
work.
The health of our community is better
than at my last writing. There are no se?
rious cases, so Dr. Duckworth informs me,
in the Kingdom.
Please say to your correspondent of the
Roberts items that I am under many
obligations to him for his compliments.
Hope I may be as fortunate as he predicts;
hope he will keep on a continuing his proph?
ecy or guesativenesa. He should, how?
ever, remember that one of the ancient
sages said it took fifty critics to make one
man of sense.
Well, there are some signs of rain, and
we need it badly; there are also signs of
better health?we need it; there are also
signs of rest?wo need it. The signs for
peace, harmony and brotherly love are
not very flattering. Some time since
when the peace of the Kingdom was
called for Mrs. Theysay arose and re?
ported unfavorable; she said that Mrs.
Grundy told her that Jemima Flawpicker
thought that Mrs. Gabbleton believed that
Mrs Tattlebum reckoned that old Granny
Longtohgue said there was more truth
than poetry in the report. Shanks.

The health of our section is very good,
and the crops are looking fine, though we
are needing rain.
Quite a crowd wentfrom hereto Trinity
last Sunday to attend Mr. Cowan's meet?
ings. The writer attended services at Shi

Georgia divine.
A protracted meeting will begin at New
Prospect on Friday night before the third
Sunday.
Mr. Mac. Quails had the misfortune to
lose a mule a few days ago. It bad served
its time here, for it was about twenty-five
years of age.
Miss Annie Brock, a charming young
lady of Honea Path, has been visiting
friends in this community.
Mr. Thomas Green, of Central, who left
this section last December, paid us a visit
a few days ago. He says the crops are not
?ood arouna Central. He has numerous
riends in this community who are always
- glad to greet him. J. M. F.

Church.
Last Sunday, July 12th, was the first
anniversary of the new pastor, Rev. E. V.
GaBsaway, B. D. There was a crowded
house all day, and by the well arranged
plans of her scholarly pastor, a collection
of $50.46 cents was raised. In the morn?
ing, between the hours of 10 and 11
o'clock five males and four ftmalea were
baptized. Preaching at 11.15 a m. by the
pastor, and communion at 3.30 p. m.
Rev. J. A. Pinson preached at night.
The day was one of rejoicing, every one
present seemingly was glad that they
came out to the house of the Lord. It
was remarked by some of the members
that there has not been such a time in St.
Paul for years.
Within the past twelve months there
has been much good done through the
strenuous efforts of the pastor, aided by j
the members. May success ever attend
him and the Church, and may he continue
to work for Christ and the upbuilding of
His kingdom.

We had a little rain last Wednesday
morning and a good shower in the evening.
It made the cotton and corn look alright
for several days, but we are getting dry
again. Despite the seasons, we cannot be
beat on crops.
On last Saturday evening Mr. C. B. Gil
mer was running his com mill. The en?
gine was backwards to the mill, and the
water and steam gauge on the same aide
the wheel was that turned the mill. At
length the belt broke, and broke off the
lower end of the water gauge at the boiler,
and having no way to stop the steam, it
soon emptied the engine. There were
about a dozen or more standing around
the engine and mill?three more sitting
near the place where the steam came out.
The noise and steam came with such re
port that it scared Gus Barnett so baa he
run across the road through the forage
and cotton patch about 700 yards, and
came back by the Church. Another went
out of sight in the woods. One run by the
mill house, struck his head against the
mill post and fell, but he was soon up and
gone. One fell out of the mill bouse.
One mounted his mule and left the place
in a sweeping gallop. Mr. J. C- Gilmer,
the engineer, soon found out what was
the matter, and succeeded in putting out
the fire. He is used to her, and knows
how to mauage her when she gets wrong.
He was the only one that didn't get scared
and run. Mr. C. B. Gilmer says that it
will not take much to repair the engine,
but he regrets having lost several rows of |
forage and cotton.
Mr. P. B. Allen, of Starr, and one of
Starr's best and most prosperous farmers,
was in the vicinity one day last week.
Capt, 8. A. Jones was at Starr last week
visiting relatives. He reports crops good
in that section.
Two young men from Roberts went to
Georgia last Saturday, and while over
