Our sanctum was honored with a pleas? ant call Tuesday morning from Rev. Dr. Lander, the accomplished President of the WilllamBton Female College. The Doctor is such a pleasant, genial gentleman, it al? ways does us good to meet him, and listen to bis interesting and instructive conversa? tion. We invite the attention of our readers to the advertisement of the Williamston Fe? male College. The fall session of this ex? cellent Institution opens September 9th, and the prospects for a large attendauce are very flattering. Parents who have daughters to educate should write to Dr. Lander and get his terms and other infor? mation. The Greenville District Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, convenes this (Thursday) morning in Williamston, at 9.30 o'clock. Rev. S. H.

Professor Foster predicts terrible hurri? canes during September aud November on the Atlantic, and gulf coasts. These hurricanes will seriously affect weather andorops. ?

Several weeks ago a dog, supposed to ! be mad, bit a calf in this city. No atten? tion was paid to it until a few days ago when the calf developed symptoms of hy? drophobia. It would foam st the mouth and bellow most pitifully, and would attempt to fight any person who would approach it. It lived several days in this condition and last Monday afternoon died. The calf belonged to Mr. Thos. H. Palmer, of this city, who says he has never seen a dumb brute afflicted like it. Here is a short sermon. It covers many points of conduct, duty and religion. If followed, many defects will be removed, many sins avowed, mach peace secured, much goodness done: "The best thing to give to your enemy Is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to a child, good example; to your father, deference; to yonr mother conduct that will make.her proud of you; to your? self, respect; to all men, charity." School Commissioner Wardlaw deserves much praise for the successful manage? ment of the great body of teachers in our midst last week.' It was no easy task to get homes for. the pedagogues and to look after.their comfort, pleasure, etc., but he was equal to the emergency. Mr. Wardlaw left nothing undone that would tend to enhance the interest of the meeting, and many of the teachers congratulated An? derson County upon having such an ener Setio, efficient and thongbtful School ommiBSioner. Last Saturday morning Mrs. Dr. Lan? der, who is in the city visiting her daugh? ter, Mrs. G. E. Prince, met with an unfor? tunate, though not serious accident. She had just took a seat in a buggy to go out driving when the horse became a little restless, and fearing that it would run away, she jumped out of the buggy and fractured a small bone in her leg juet below the knee. She is now doing very well, and in a few weeks will have fully recovered from tbe accident. , Last Saturday we had a pleasant call from Mr. W. L. Chamblee, of Forsyth County, Ga., who, with his wife, is now visiting his old home and the scenes of his boyhood days in this section, and his visit is a source of much pleasure to his relatives and old friends. Mr. Chamblee moved from this County to Georgia about thirty-five years ago, and it has been fif? teen years since he last visited his rela? tives here. He is a son of James Cham? blee, deceased, and his grandfather settled the place now known as "Rose Hill," and owned a good portion of the land on which Anderson is located. The Due West Presbyterian of last week, says: "The principals of the Due West Female College have secured as principal of the primary department. Miss Leila Russell of Anderson, S. C. Miss Russell was educated for a teacher. She is a grad? uate of the Winthrop training school of Columbia, where she received the very best training under Miss Leonard, Miss Bonham ana others. Miss Russell is now teaching in the public schools of Anderson County, and will come to Due West with flattering testimonials from her patrons " A Gesrgia melon expert gives the fol? lowing test to determine whether a melon is ripe: Draw the thumb nail over the melon, scraping off the the thin green skin. If tbe edges of the skin on each side of the scar are left ragged or granu? lated, the melon Is ripe. But if tbe edges of the scar are smooth and even, and the thumb nail has dug into the rind in places and the skin does not come off clean, then the melon is green. It is easy to learn the test by trying it on a couple of meionB, one ripe and the other green, their condi? tion being ascertained by cutting tbem open. 1 Miss Kate Lee, the eldest daughter of Mr. W. 8. Lee, died at her home in this city last Tuesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock. She was ill only about two weeks, and her death was a great shock to her friends and loved ones. Miss Lee was in the eighteenth year of her age, and was a most excellent, industrious young lady. Gen? tle and kind in her disposition, she was devotedly loved by those who knew her best, and her place in the family circle will be hard to nil. She was an exemplary member of the Presbyterian Church, and has gone to reap the reward given to all Christians. Her remains were interred in the Silver Brook Cemetery on Wednesday, Rev. Dr. Frierson conducting the funeral services. The bereaved family have the warmest sympathy of their friends. Tbe Pickens Senliiicl, of the 23rd inst, Bays: "Last Tuesday persons from Eas? ier, Central, Pickens, Seneca, Anderson, Westminster, Walhalla and Dahlonega, Ga., met at the beautiful home, of Mrs. M. L. Hughes, on tbe Keowee, to witness a happy marriage. The immediate neigh? borhood was also well represented. At 11.30 a. m., Mr. W. H. Thomas invited the guests, to assemble in the parlor, and as soon as they were arranged, Mr. William Harper, of Anderson, walked in with his affianced, Mrs. M. L. Hughes, leaning upon his arm. The officiating minister, Rev. J. R. Riley, D. D., was certainly at his best, for we have never heard a more beautiful and impressive ceremony than that which blended into one the hope and joys of the high contracting parties. By the time the hearty congratulations of many friends could be received, dinner was announced. It was truly a royal wedding feast, and most thoroughly was it enjoyed. That bright, glad day on the Keowee will long be remembered by all who participated in its joys." Mr. Harper is one of our best citizens, and has won for his bride a most excellent lady, whose maiden name was Miss Steele, a daugh? ter of the late Capt. Wm. Steele, of Ander? son County. We extend congratulations to the happy pair. The State Teachers' Association. The State Teachers' Association, which convened here last week, was in every sense a grand success. It was the largest educational.assemblage ever convened in t^njtate, and the most interesting and enthusiastic meeting of the State Teachers' Association ever held. The first meeting was held on Wednes? day evening, at which George E. Prince, Esq., made the address of welcome, which wa3 responded to by Superintendent D. B. Johnson, of Columbia. The attendance was placed at. from 300 to 400. Of course there were a great many more than that number present at each meeting, but they were not all teachers or members of the Association. The most prominent educators of the State were in attendance. Among them were Dr. J. H. Carlisle, of Wofford Col? lege, Rev. B. F. Wilson, of Converse Col? lege, Rev. Charles Manly, D. D., of Fur man University, Dr. Grier, of Erskine, Maj. James Cummings.of the Citadel, Su? perintendent D. B. Johnson, of Columbia, Misses Wynne, of Charleston, and Bon? ham, of Columbia, Mrs. Clara B. Rowell, of Piedmont, Wm. S. Morrison, of Green? ville, President H. A. Strode, of Clemson, Superintendent Archer, of Charleston, and a host of others from all parts of the State. The program was well arranged, and those upon it did their parts very well, j indeed. Gen. McCrady's address was in 1 tensely interesting, and demonstrated that South Carolina had not received justice from historians, and that in this State the people have always held the idea that "Education is power," and acting on that idea have fostered the cause. We wish we had space to give his speech in fall. In fact, wo would be delighted to see all the addresses and papers delivered and read before the Association printed and circulated among the people, and very especially Mrs. Rowell's on "Moral Train? ing," and Miss Bonham's on "First Im? pressions. The latter we would be de I lighted to see placed in the hands of every I mother in the country. Anderson was most favorably impressed with the teachers, and was delighted to have an opportunity to honor such a noble profession, and we regret exceed? ingly that our limited space will not per? mit us to give a detailed account of the Association. The pleasure of the meeting was greatly increased by some very sweet music from several young ladies. There was not, so far as we could hear, a single instance in which the conduct or behavior of a teacher while here, was con? trary to morality and gentility. Their dealings with each other were frank and caudid, but very courteous and always kind. We could not help feeling that the future of our State is safe in such hands. Anderson feels amply repaid for all hor efforts to please and entertain the teach? ers, by the fact that every one, without a single excel tion, so far as we could hear, went away pleased with Anderson and her people, and expressed themselves fre? quently to the effect that Anderson was a bigger and better town than they had ex? pected to see. Several of them ppoke of moving to Anderson and locating here permanently. The ABScoiation met, as before stated, on Wednesday evening. Three sessions were held Thursday, and three on Friday. The last thing on the program was re-or gauization, at which the following were elected: President. W. S. Morrison, of Greenville; first Vice-President, Frank Evans, Laurens ; second Vice-president, J. G. Clinkscales, Columbia; third Vice rresideut, J. B. Patrick, of Anderson; Secretary and Treasurer, L. W. Dick, Darlington ; Executive Committee, H. P. Archer, Charleston, Chairman; J. B- . Watkins, Honea Path ; H. W. Pemberton, I Charleston ; J. F. Brown, Newberry, and J. B. Doffie, Sumter. Resolutions were unanimously adopted by a rising vote tendering the thanks of the Association to School Commissioner Wardlaw for his untiring zeal, energy and kindness, to whom the success of the meeting was largely due, to our citizens for their liberal hospitality, to the young ladies who added so much to the pleasure of the Association by their sweet music, and to the railroad authorities and press for the courtesies extended. Opposed to a Third Party. At the last meeting of the Williamston Alliance the following preamble and res? olution were unanimously adopted: We, the WiHiamston Alliance, No. 208, having heard a good deal said about the Alliance going into the third party, re? cently organized, and hoping and believ? ing that we can get our demands, to some extent at least inside of the old Democratic party, and believing as we do, that divis? ion in the Democratic party wonld be dis? astrous to the politics of the State, there? fore, be it Resolved, That we discountenance any? thing that lojks like dividing the Demo? cratic party._ That Whipping Case. The following is a copy of the testimony taken before Trial Justice Field at Pelzer on Saturday, 18th inst., in the case of the State ys. A. J. Smith and Charley Smith, charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature: W. H. G. EIrod.sworn says : He lives in Ander? son County near Piercetown; A. J. Smith came to Mot on the morning July the 9th, 1801, and said Bomo one had tried to break into his house a night or two before and wanted htm to go with him; I went with him and we met Sion Blchardson and made inquiry about a boy, describing him, and Mr. Blchardson informed us that the boy was a little ways ahead of us; he overtook some one and took him out of sight; no one called the name of the boy in my presence; when we first started out to hunt for the boy Mr. Smith said the boy's namt was John Maynee; when wo got in sight of the boy Mr. Smith says "yonder be is," and then says '?no, he has on a coat," and when we rode up Mr. 8mith got on" his mule and took hold of the boy by the wrist (I think I said the above with the word "no" stricken out) and tied his hands with a leather string; Mr. Smith said the boy was a good hand to work, and asked him if he was not at his place the night before, to which the boy replied, "yes, getting some Juno applesCharley Smith drove up and John said "hand me the whip I want to wear it out on this boy;" ho reached out the whip and says he has on my coat now ; John Smith took the whip; it was a leather-covered whip; he went up the Greenville road, behind Mr. Smith's storo-honse and said one of yon boys como on; I told Mr. Smith I would hold the h orses if he would go and bring the boy and carry him to Col. Jameson's and get law for him and not whip him ; he handed me the reins and went up; I saw John Smith palling the coat partially off the boy, and then they got out of my sight; I was about seventy-five yards from them, nod I heard some licks which could have been heard between two and three hundred yards; they were out thero about fifteen minutes; I think I heard from fifty to seventy-five licks, and I heard groaning at the beginning, but which I did not hear towards the end; when tbey came back John Smith says "I whipped him and Charlie held him f I Baw the boy going off up the Greenville road. Cross-examined: Says he did not know the boy; just after the thing happened a party came to me aud asked the boy's name; and I told him I bad forgotten the name; on Sunday after, John Smith came to my house and said I told a party that his name was John GiIstrup, but he said that was not bis name, but if any one asked his name to tell them his name was Gilstrap ; the boy is IS or 18 years old, and about grown; about my size; I don't know my height; as he walked off up the road be did not seem tobe hurt; I do not know that the boy was the recipient of those licks; I did not hear the boy sey that he prefered the whipping before going to law; when they came back the lash of the whip look frazzled for about an inch; saw nothing else wrong with the whip, and did not notice condition of whip before they went off; I heard the boy was sick, and I went to hunt for him, but could not find him, or hear of him. Be-direct: he was about 90 or 05 yards from ma W. H. G. Elbod. Thomas Webb, being sworn, Bays: That the de? fendant, Mr, Smith, came to my house and I asked him if he had caught his boy; it was somewhere between the middle and last of last week ; and Mr. Smith said that he had caught him; I asked him if he baa sent him to Jail, and he replied "no;" he said he had whipped him, giving him between 30 and 85 licks; he told me that he had split the hide on the boy for ton inches: be claimed that the boy was the same that had tried to break into his house. Cross-examined: Says Mr. Smith was good to this boy; told me that he had got him a position with Mr. Warren Martin; he said the boy cboso to tako the whipping instead of going to Jail; that they had found on his person a coat and vest that he had stolen from Charley Smith, und Mr. Smith thought it would be better than sending him to tne Penitentiary: Mr. Smith seemed, from what I could gather, to have whipped the boy in kind? ness rather than send him to prison. Tuoius Webb. C. H. Holcombe, belog sworn, says: On Monday morning I went to Mr. John Smith's and wont around the store bouse and saw blood in the foot prints upon the ground in the end of the rows of cultivated land; he said he heard a boy was beat nearly to death. Cross-examined: Says he did not know 'whose tracks they were, as there were several about there; the land is a mulatto clay; I do not know what the field was planted in; do not know whether the growth around the house was larger or smaller than that in the field; cannot tell human blood from a hog's blood; says there hod not been any rain to his recollection, up to the time he went there; Mr. Murphy Bald it was blood. Be-direct: When the blood drops struck the ground they seemed to separate. C. H. Holcombe, I certify that the foregoing is a true copy of the testimony in the case. W. G. Field, T. J. A. C. Survivors' Re-uniun. Editobs Intelligencer : The annual re-union of the Confederate Survivors, Company "F," 24th S. C Volunteers, was held on the 22nd inst., at Carswell Insti? tute, in this County. A large gathering of friends and invited guests from Ander? son, Abbeville and adjoining Counties greeted the survivors of this gallant old Company on the occasion. The arrange? ments for the accommodation of visitors and soldiery were perfect in every detail, The speakers' stand was tastefully deco? rated, and seats for the audience comfort? ably arranged under the oak foliage which beautifies the Institute park. The Young America Cornet Band, of Ander? son, furnished the music. Mr. John B. Leverett presided, and opened the meeting with an introductory address appropriate to the occasion. After prayer by the Rev. Thomas Zeigler, Sergeant Jas. W. Sherard called the roll of this Company. eol. John B. Patrick, of the Patrick Military Institute, of Anderson, was then introduced by the Chairman, as the first speaker. Col. Patrick's scholarly address was in his usual pleasing style, and well suited to the occasion. Gen. R. R. Hempbill, of Abbeville, fol? lowed in happiest strains, descanting on the late war, but devoted his attention chiefly to the issues of the day, earnestly advocating the Alliance cause generally, and the Sub-treasury in particular. Mr. James M. Sullivan, of Anderson, was introduced as the last speaker, and as one of the younger generation. His speech touched incidentally upon the events of the war, dwelling mostly upon the present condition of the South?its grievances and future?condemning the present financial system of the Govern? ment, und warmly appealing for union within the Democratic ranks. After the speaking came a pic nie din? ner. All present were cordially invited to partake of one of the most bounteous feasts wo ever saw spread. Such kindness, such hospitality! It was more than re? freshing, in fact, quite overwhelming to one accustomed to shorter rations. The veterans with their friends lingered long into the afternoon under the shades of the oaks. The Survivors of Company "F" decided to hold their re-union of '92 at Cooks', in this County, during next sum? mer. J. Piercetown Items. Mr. Wm. Smith is now building a line dwelling house on his place. Mr. Smith is one of our most progressive and indus? trious formers as well as an upright, peaceful citizen, In addition to his big farm he owns a cotton gin, saw mill and corn mill, and does a good business. The cotton crop in this section is rather late in consequence of the late Spring. Corn, especially that on bottom land, is doing finely. Up to this time we have had plenty of rain. I am informed that there is an old col? ored woman living near Piercetown who is 120 years old, still does her own house? keeping, and can get about as sprightly as a ltt-y ear-old. The general topics of conversation with our people is the Clemson College and the low price of cotton. Many farmers are not expecting more thau 7 or 8 cents for the best middling cotton. In this section we have three one-horse stores._A Farmer. Para-sit-i-cide is guaranteed to cure Itch in ; 30 minutes or money refunded. Sold by Hill Bros., Anderson, S. C.

Cars well preached three able sermons in the Baptist Church here last week. The union meeting of R. W. Burt's Church, held at Broadmouth last Saturday and Sunday, was a success in every partic? ular.

They are done work, and are lying in the shade after laying by. Several of onr teachers attended the As? sociation last week. Big meetings are in order now. The cooks are prepared to answer the question, why chiokens have no future world ? Some of the fair sex have the blues some of the young men left when school closed. We suppose they had a skeleton key and unlocked the young ladies' hearts and took away that precious thing?and the girls have the .blues?or rather blue ribbons with several certain kinds of knots tied in them. Pais. Dots From Lebanon. Messrs Editobs : From lack of time or something another, perhaps lazinesB, we have failed to have the privilege of holding a claim over a part of your valuable paper. But if this does not find the thirsty waste basket T guess we will turn up soon. Shouldn't we be proud? Refreshing rains and a little sunshine occasionally, have caused the crops to Btretch consider? ably. The rain came none to soon for some of the crops we have seen. Mr. D. J. Craig gets the prize for having the finest corn in this section. Mr. Craig is a thrifty young farmer, as you wefl know. He gets there when all others are left. 'Squire Hutchinson has just arrived home from his threshing expedition. He reports grain very good, but small. Watermelons are plentiful in this sec? tion, especially under the eaves of the Kingdom.

We have not heard the number of pupils going, but we know the efficient teacher is doing a good work. Mise Bettie Smith resumed her position in the school room at Melton's Academy last Monday morning. A large number of pupils have been going, ana more ex? pected. The health of this community is very food at present, but we fear that some ody is going to be sick if they take a few more "baits" of melons, suoh as we saw some one take not long since. Messrs. J. D. and M. W. Hendricks, of Blount County, Ala., are here visiting relatives. They report health and cropa of that part of the country very good. Mr. Wm.

He beats most of our young men ?'all-hollow." The Sunday School at this place has been, for the last two or three Sundays, very small, owing to the meeting at Trin? ity that was conducted by Rev. Mr. Cowan. Several more of our people con? fessed their Bins and then professed saneti fication. Lebanon is growing better, we think.

Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper for the week ending August 1st has special at? tractions for summer readers.

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, hut 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. Drag Store. Large bottles, 50c. and $100. Happy Hoosiers, 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 found new strength, good appetite, and felt just like he had a new lease on life. Only 50c. a bottle at Hill. Bros. Drugstore. "I was troubled with Catarrh for over two years.

Bogga, Holman's Mills, N. C.. The Sullivan Hardware Co. are doing a rushing business in machinery this season, especially on Smith Cotton Gins, Erie City Iron Works! Engines, De Loach Saw Mills and Thomas Suction Elevators. Within the last two weeks their sales amounted to over $10,000 and are receiv? ing orders every day. The Thomas Suc? tion Elevator, which was patented only about one year ago, seems to be taking the lead in this section, and several of them will be put up in Anderson county this fall. If they improve the sample of cotton as much as the manufacturers claim it will prove a great blessing to the farmers, es? pecially at thepresent price of cotton. As the Sullivan Hardware Co. get their ma? chinery 4n car load lots they are in a posi? tion to tell at less prices than others who sell on a commission. All they ask is a trial. Ayer's Cathartic Pills are recommended by the best physicians, because they are free from calomel and other injurious drugs, being composed of purely vegeta? ble ingredients. While thorough in their action, they stimulate and strengthen the bowels and secretory organs. A. L. Welch says he will sell you all the Soft Coal you want for less money than any man on earth.
