There is one thing which some of the
drivers of horses in this city should be
mnde to understand, and that is, pedes?
trians are entitled to the right of way on
crosswalks. It is quite a common thing
for some drivers to act as if the man had
no right to the crosswalk until all teams
in sight had driven over it. This is an
error. Tbe man on foot has tbe first right,
and if you drive upon or against him, you
make yourself liable to an action for darn-,
ages

following: "Cupid has been at work in

years of age, and was highly esteemed in
his neighborhood, where be had spent the

working, upright man, and his friends

sistent member of the Baptist Church, and
just before he died he expressed himself
ready to meet the summons of death.
His remains were interred at Townville
on Monday, Rev. W. M. Pinson conduct?
ing the funerallaervic.es.
Last Sunday morning Rev. A. A. Mar?
shall tendered his resignation as pastor of
the Anderson Baptist Church, which was
accepted. This action was rendered ne?
cessary on account of his continued ill
health. Mr. Ma:,hall has been pastor of
the Church for about four years, but on
account of ill-health has done very little
work during the past two years. There
was never a more popular pastor in Ander?
son than he, and not only his own congre?
gation, but our entire people, regret ex?
ceedingly that he will no longer be with
us. Wherever he may go, he will carry
the prayers of our whole people lor the
restoration of his health.
] n the old slave days there was a godless
master who owned an old darkey named
Pomp. Pomp was a local exhorter of re?
pute, and his zuaBter loved to tease him
about it. One day he said: "Pomp, do
you believe in the doctrine of election ?"
"Yes, maasa," was the reply, "IalluB did."
"Well," persisted the master, "do you
think I am one of the elect ?" The negro
sciatohed his head. His caution and his
sense of the decencies of the case prevented
him from blurting out tbe reply which
suggested itself. So he fenced with it and
answered: "Wal, masea, I never heered
of any man's bein' elected who wasn't a
candidate."

as follows of the troupe : "At the Opera
House last evenjng, Barlqvv' Brothers'
Mi n'strels opened a very successful season.
There was a'large audience: every num?
ber was encored, and double and triple
recalls were frequent. Qf course thqse o}d
favorites, Bariow Brother*, gpt then- share
of the applause, and they deseryed it, for
if apytjjjng they are- Appier than, ever,
They we oa tbe ends in the first part, and
leaders in the original sketch entitled
Tbe Two Dummies.' The Dixie Quar?
tette, oonslatlng of Messrs. Bummell,
LaBord, Howard and Hudson, is admir?
ably chosen, and their numbers were well
rendered. The vocallsm throughout is
unusually fine- The tenor, Mr, LaBord,
has a very rich voice that is thoroughly
trained'. The song'and aahce, "Cinderella
Jackson's Masquerade,'" made a big hit.*
Thomson add Duclos'gave some novelties
in unique musical comedy, and the' Leon
Brothers in gymnastic gyrations Conclude
a truly wonderful ana entertaining per?
formance."
The Lowndesville correspondent of the
Abbeville Press and Banner, says: "Rev.
Squire Dodson, colored, has come to grief.
He went to Andereon last year and bought
supplies from Mr. J. S. Fowler, to whom
be gave a lien upon a crop that did not
materialize, and a mortgage upon stock
which he expected to own in the future.
His clerical robes did not protect him
against such a violation of iaw, and when
two of our young men went to "serve the
Eapers" he suddenly "broke" for the
ushes, and after a two hundred yards ex?
citing race through briars and over gullies
he had to stop to "wind," and our fastest
runuiug deputies were glad enough of it.
Hu is now peeping through the bars of the
Anderson jail."
Last week we stated that the boys could
shoot partridges after 1st October. In this
we were mistaken. In December, 1888,
the Legislature amended the game law of
the State, which now reads as follows;
"It shall not be lawful for any person in
this State, between the first day of April
and tho first day of November in any year
hereafter, to catch, kill or injure, or to
pursue with such intent, or to Bell or ex?
pose for sale, any wild turkey, partridge,
quail, woodcock, or pheasant, 01 between
the first day of March and the first day of
August any dove ; or at any tine during
the year, to catch, kill, or injure, or to
pursue with such intent by fire-light, any
of the birds named in this section. And
any person so doing shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon con?
viction thereof shall be fined not more
than twenty dollars, or be imprinoned not
more thau thtrty days."? Sect ion 1G94,

The union meeting of the sever al denom?
inations of the city was held in the Bap?
tist Church last Sunday night under the
auspices of the Y. M. C. A., and was at?
tended by a very large congregation, the
Church being filled to its utmofit seating
capacity. The meeting bad been arranged
especially for young men, and Rev* John
0. Wilson, Presiding Elder of the Green?
ville District, invited to deliver a sermon
especially to them. On the rostrum sat
Rev. Dr. Frierson, Rev. C. B. Smith, Rev.
M. Gassaway and Rev. II. E. Parish, all
of whom participated in the services. Mr.
Wilson announced as his text the latter
portion of the 5th verse of the 22nd chapter
of 1st Timothy: "Keep thyself p are." His
sermon was deeply interesting, plain and
practical, and no doubt made a good im?
pression upon every one present. A
similar meeting will be held in the Meth?
odist Church next Sunday night, when the
Rev. Mi. Parish, of the Baptist Church,
will deliver the sermon. These meetings
will be continued for several Sunday
nights, and it is hoped much good will re?
sult from them.
It is our sad duty to record the death of
another one of Anderson County's most
excellent women in the person of Mrs. V.
H. Breazeale, who died at her home near
Belton on Monday afternoon.' She had
been a sufferer for several months, and
her death, therefore, was not unexpected
by her family and friends. Mis. Breaz?
eale was abont 45 years of age, and was a
daughter of Marion E Mitchell. She was
twice married, her first husband being
Marion Griffin, deceased. She was born
and ieared in the Belton section, where
she was well known and most highly es?
teemed- She was a devoted member of
the Baptist Church, and in every relation
of life displayed her Christian character.
Her friends and neighbors loved her
deeply, and her death has brought Borrow
to their hearts. She leaves a bereaved
husband and a large family to mourn her
death, and in their bereavement tbey
have many sympathizers. On Tuesday
afternoon her remains were laid to rest in
the Dorchester Churchyaid, after appro?
priate funeral services, conducted by Rev.
U. M. Rogers, in the presence of a large
congregation.

'One evening last week ar old friend,
who is in the habit of making frequent
visits to a certain place, started towards
the place alluded to in order that he
might carry his "best girl" to Church
that night But another being sooner
than he?and not being discouraged at
this?he started for his "second best."
As railroads are good places on which to
travel, be was not long in reaching the
home of his "second best." He and the
fair Unionite were soon on their way to a
protracted meeting, the one of which we
have already spoken. After the services
were over they happily returned to the
buggy, awaiting a most pleasant ride.
She sat there in a complacent manner an?
ticipating what a good time they would
have and joyfully gazing on her bewil?
dered lover. Just as tbe young man
climbed into tbe buggy and was preparing
to leave, he heard a strange sound under
the seat which he could not account for.
He hears another sound. Was it a mis
oreant who had designedly placed himself
there for tho purpose of frightening them ?
Could it be such ? Numerous were the
thoughts that agitated their minds, but in
the twinkling of an eye the great annoyer
appeared, which relieved the couple of
their uneasiness. It was simply an old
hen, which had been placed there and se?
curely tied by the mischievous brothers of
the young lady. The young man did not
explain the cause of this sensation to the
bystanders, who were eagerly looking on
and enjoying the fun, but shoving tbe
intruder back into the place from which
it came he hastily departed. All who wit?
nessed it say that it was a very ludicrous
affair, yet our friend won the chicken,
though he had to drive his mule almost
to death. Pais.

Our Slabtown friend has been giving it
to the County Commissioners for not vis?
iting his section. If he were to come
down the "Five Notch Road" from Cant.
B. C. Martin's and travel it for five miles
he would not want them tp vjsit his secr
tion. Two years ago he' 'could drive over
this road and not get a jolt, but now a
drive over it will nearly jolt the breath out
of any man. We have this year worked
six days op this road, and I can conscien?

it would have been if not a lick of work

This community is on a building boom.
There is Messrs. Fleming, Seigler. Earle,
and others, all within a mile of this place,
who are building and repairing their
bouses. This is a good sign, for where you
find good, substantial buildings, you will
find a prosperous and happy people.
A series of meetings have just closed at
Sbiloh Church, in whioh there were about
thirty accessions. This has been the
most successful meeting at this place
within the history of the Church. We
hope those young converts will "let their

"balances" shall not be "found wanting."
A negro, whose description somewhat
answers that of Wiley McMullan, called
at the house of Lewellyn Finn a few days
ago and called for something to eat. Mrs.
Finn being alone, she ordered him to
move on. He refused, and on finding
Mrs. Finn to be alone, he drew his pistol
and started to enter the bouse, whereupon
Mrs. Finn called for her husband. This
frightened him and he left. A posse of
men started in pursuit and tracked him as
far as Mr, A- & Scudday's, where they
lost his track. Ha has been heard of since
in Hart County, Ga. If be is found on
this '$ide again, he will pay the penalty
becoming such characters. Jinks.

He Endorses tho Intelligencer's Advice.
Messrs. Editors: I am not much ac?
customed to writing letters for the press,
but I cannot refrain from expressing my
gratification of tho article in your issue of
September 10th, entitled "Price of Cotton
Advancing." The advice therein given is
certainly the best that I have seen in print
in many years, and ought to be copied by
every newspaper in the South. That ad?
vice, if followed, will without doubt put
in tbe pockets of the cotton growers some
of the money lost by them last year, when
they followed advice of exactly the oppo?
site. The advice of last year was to nold
the cotton?the advice of the Intelligen?
ces for this year is to sell the cotton as soon
as it can be carried to market. Cotton
growers, you can shove your hand down
in your pocket and fish out the last nickel
you have got, and bet that, and all you can
borrow, that this is good advice. I am
proud that I am a subscriber to the Intel?
ligencer. If in the past I may, at times,
have felt that the Editors were a little slack
in gathering the news, and not progressive
enough in advancing thoughts for the en?
lightenment of its readers, I now humbly
beg pardon for entertaining such thoughts,
and from this on will swing my hat in the
air and hurrah for the Intelligencer
whenever occasion presents itself for so
doing. Your article ought to be printed in
circular form and scattered all over the
South. May your shadow never be less,
is the hearty wish of Uncle Josh.
Shanksology.
Mr. Editor : For the benefit of certain
individuals I beg leave to say through
your columns that I am in no lukewarm
state in regard to the Intelligencer or
its editors, or its foreman, or its bindman,
or its devil. I have the same regard for
the paper now that I ever had, and I hope
to luep on a continuing. It is true your po?
litical and religious spectacles don't ex?
actly focus my eyes, but then you have
not tried to force me to look through
yours. Neither have I insisted that my
glasses would suit you better than your
own. So I guess we are good friends.
There is another thing I wish distinctly
understood, viz: that I have not got liver
discate. I never did have it, never intend
to have it; it is entirely too fashionable.
I have a perfect horror of having some?
thing that everybody else has. A Doctor
asked me the other day if I didn't have
torpor of the liver (out, mind you, it was
not Dr. Duckworth.) I told him no, that
I was not certain I had any liver. I am
sick and disgusted of hearing and reading
about liver complaint, liver pills, liver
pellets, liver tablets, liver regulator, etc.,
etc. I have made up my mind to die
with something else.
And I am getting almost as tired of
hearing about blood poison. It is getting
entirely too fashionable, and the first
thing anybody knows, I will refuse to
have that. I am glad to note that neither
of tbe aforesaid diseases are prevalent in
the Kingdom. Shanks.

extend my thanks and obligations to the
many friends who were so kind and atten?
tive to us in the recent sickness and death
of my beloved companion. Their many
acts of kindness as well as their many ex?
pressions of sympathy will never be for?
gotten. J. L. Bryan.

Specimen Cases.
S. H Clifford, New Cassell. Wis., was
troubled with Neuralgia and Rheumatism,
his Stomach was disordered, his Liver was
affected to an alarming degree, appetite fell
away, and he was terribly reduced in flesh
and strength. Three bottles of Electric
Bitters cured him.
Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, 111.,
had a running sore on his leg of 8 years'
standing. Used three bottles of Electric
Bitters and seven boxes of Bucklen's Ar?
nica Salve, and his leg is sound and well.
John Speaker, Catawba, O., had five large
Fever s ores on his leg, doctor said he was
incurable. One bottle Electric Bitters and
one Box P- ?'den's Arnica Salve cured him
entirely. Sold by Hill Bros.
It is astonishing how rapidly the feeble
and debilitated gain strength and vigor
when taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. For
what are called "broken-down constitu
! tions," nothing else has proved so effective
I as this powerful but perfectly safe xnedl
I cine.
The use of calomel for derangements of
the liver has ruined many a fine constitu?
tion. Those who, for similar troubles,
have tried Ayer's Pills testify to their effi?
cacy in thoroughly remedying the mal?
ady, without injury to the system.

three Second Hand Engines, Six to Eight
Horse Power, fully guaranteed in first

TO OUR PATRONS.
We now occupy the Spacious Store Boom
UNDER THE MASONIC TEMPLE,
WHERE wo are belt* r prepared than ever to serve the Trading Public. -On
account of the constant increase in our business we were forced to seek larger
quirters, and now we have o hesitancy in saying that we have one of the beat
lighted, largest and most spacious Store Rooms to be found in Upper Carolina. *
Taking this in connection with our long experience as merchants and buyers, we
are positive tbat we can oflVr you good Goods at much lower prices than elsewhere.
We are great believers in h1. ort profits, and not to misrepresent any of our merchan?
dise. For example, if a piece of goods is cotton, we say this is all cotton. On the
other band, if it is part wo<>l and cotton, we say the chain is cotton and the warp is
wool.
As to Low Prices,
We would say, if an article cost us one dollar we would gladly oner same at one
dollar and ten cents; but to do this we have decided to confine ourselves to Cash on *
Delivery, because we would be compelled to turn our money over at least three
times a year, and in order to do a much large:; and more modern business we have
decided tr> inaugurate the 'One Price Plan," and from now on, henceforth and for*
ever, we will give?
One Price to All!
By this method a mere cbiid can come into our Establishment and shop just as well
as an aged person. We are not "birds of flying passage"?we have come to stay;
nor do we believe in "getting all you can." All we ask is a living, and just a little .
to lay aside for a rainy day.
We have at all times carried a fair stock of?
READY MADE CLOTHING
For Men and Boys, but this season we went perfectly wild ; we found prices so loir,
on account of over production, that the temptation was too great. We went into a
Manufacturer's who had one hundred Suits that cost six dollars to make; he was
compelled to sell, and we secured the lot at four dollars. We now offer this excel*
lent bargain, as long as th<- lot la-.ts, at four dollars and forty cents. We have so
much Clothing that we do not know what to say first. To make a long story short, '
we will add tbat our Custom Made Goods are grand, and fully 25 per cent cheaper
than elsewhere. We have secured the Agency for the?
Harrisburg Shoe Company.
They make only line sewed goods, and we give a printed guarantee on every pair. ?
Handle three grades: *1.5">, $2.00 and $2.50?all hand made and best on earth, 5
you pay double the price oUewhere for Shoes they will be no better. jfa
In order to introduce our new stand and to swell our sales for September, we
will offer the following?
INDUCEMENT.

day,) we will present, free of charge, one feeantiful Plate Glass Mirror. Should the
customer be a Lady, she to receive the Plate Glass Mirror; or, should the customer

Remember, these grand free presents will only continue during September.
