Judge Wallace has appointed our young friend, James D. Campbell, of Belton, stenographer of the Seventh Judicial Cir? cuit, to succeed W. A. Law, of Spartan burg, who has resigned. A few days ago a competitive examination was held in Charleston, and eleven expert stenogra? phers entered the contest. The examina? tion was a most rigid one, but Mr. Camp? bell stood at the head of the class, and was selected as the most efficient. For several years Mr. Campbell has been connected with the Nashville (Tenn.) American, and is a most excellent young man in every respect We extend our congratulations to our yosng friend. The Industrial School Commission, which consists of Prof. D. B. Johnson, of Columbia, Miss Hannah Hempbill,' of Abbeville, and Miss Mary Yearpin, of Lanrens, came to Anderson last Friday afternoon and remained over until next day. The Commission was met at the de? pot by a Committee of citizens in car? riages, and during their stay in our midst were shown all the attention possible. In charge of the reception Committee the members of the Commission were driven around the oity and shown a number of places suitable for the location of the school. Prof. Johnson and the ladies ex? pressed themselves as very favorably im? 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? rier, and is now associated with Mr. J. B. Steele in the management of the Battery Park Hotel at Asheville, N. C. Friend McKissick will do well wherever you put him, and when his friends visit Asheville they may expect to be well cared for. Annual Meeting of tlio State Dental Asso? ciation. The South Carolina State Denial Asso? ciation convened in its twenty-first an? nual session in this city on Tuesday morn? ing at 9.30 o'clock, in the Masonic Tem ?le. Dr. E. C. Ridgell, the accomplished 'resident, called the body to order, and the proceedings opened with prayer by Rev. C. B. Smith, of the M. E. Church. The roll was called and all of the officers answered to ibeir names except the Treas? urer, who came in later. In an eloquent and appropriate address Ma.tor Tolly, in behalf of our citizens, gave the Association a cordial welcome to our city, which was responded to in fitting 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 discussed. At 4 p. m- Hon. J. L. Tribble, of this city, delivered an address on "Den? ial Laws," having been invited to do so Oy the Association. The Association will finish its business to day (Thursday), and will be given a ride over the city and a reception at Keys' Spri ngs in the afternoon. About fifty members are present at this meeting, and several dentists from other States are in attendance. Among the latter we notice Drs. W. G. Browne, C. V. 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 stay in Anderson will be as pleasant to them as it is to our citizens to have them with us. Honea Path Items. 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 iiiigouly that "ph-afantboursflybyso fast to end ?ur happiest days." The Calhoun Circle w?s organized last October, and has done i'Xi'i lli>nt work during the session. It now numbers about fourteen. They speak of inviting the Cbautauqua State Convention to meet with tbem this sum? mer. Thor? were several visitors at Honea Path last week, among them were: Messrs VV. E. Breazeale, M. E. Burts, W. C. Clinkscales, Rev. SC. Stepp and wife, Mrs. Broyles, Mrs. Jones, and Misses Rosa Tribble, Maude Wakefield, Anna Clinkscales, Zula and Alma Brock, and Hattie and Cora Crowtber. The young people are practising lawn tennis every day, and would be glad to have a challenge from some club. Mrs. Smith, a member of. the Methodist Church at this place, died last week, and was buried in the cemetery here Saturday. Rev.. Mason conducted the funeral ser? vices. A series of meetings will begin in the Baptist Church Wednesday evening be? fore the fourth Sunday. The Willing Workers of the Baptist Church will give a Dime Reading in the school building next Monday evening at 81 o'clock. They have an interesting pro? gram arranged, and would be glad to have a large number present. Everybody come- Pop. Moseley News. Miss Pauline Moseley, of Greenwood, 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. Lizzie. New Hope Items. 1 think the farmers of this section would be glad to see it rain, for the crops are Buffering a little for the need of it. There will not be any preaching at this place on the regular appointment, as our pastor will not be present on that day, but he will preach on the fourth Sunday at 11 o'clock and early candle light at night. We are glad to know that Miss Minnie Bowen has returned home, after a long visit to her sister in Columbia. The school at McLees Academy will open on the 2lst inst. Parents send your children to school. There was a large crowd at the Confer? ence last Sunday. Presiding Elder Wil? son preached an excellent sermon at 11 o'clock, after which the Lord's Supper was observed. Mr. W. J. Seawright and nephew, Mr. Samuel Seawright, passed through this section a few days ago-on their way home at Donaldsville, S. C. Mr. John McClure's baby haB been very slok for the past woek, but we are glad to say he is better. Miss Eflie, Lessie and Emma Hayes were visiting in this section last Sunday. Mam, 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? son are visiting relatives and friends in this community, both from Due West, 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 foggy morning this year, and would like to know why they have quit coming. Purty Boy. 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. Csnterville Items. 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 loh and heard an excellent sormon from a 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.

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. Published by the request of the officers. E. D. Williams, Churoh Clerk.

Cox, Pres, Ji W, Pqobe, Sec, Roberts Itoinx, 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.
