Knight and daughter left An? derson last Saturday for Micaville, Ala. Mr. Knight has been a citizen of Anderson for several years, having been in the em Eloy of Mr. C. A.

Capt. Stnbling is Superintendent of the brick yards at Clemson College, and reports work on the buildings progressing nicely. He is an energetic, progressive man, and tbe bnilding committee did well when it secured bis services as Superintendent. Our clever friend, Mr. Samuel McCrary, of tbe Autun section, came in to see us last Friday. He reports good crops, but says the yield of cotton will fall snort of tbe first estimates. Mr. McCrary is one of Anderson County's most prosperous and successful ' farmers, and, of course, pro daces his own coru, meat and other sup? plies. A few days ago he bought two sacks of corn, which was the first he has ever purohased. Mr. W. P. Stevenson, an energetic young farmer who lives a few miles north of tbe city, has shown us samples of his crop of "sojah beans," a new product that is being introduced into this section. It is a most excellent food, ither in a green or dry condition for etock. It can be harvested as forage, or left in the field until tbe beans are thoroughly ripe, when they can easily be gathered. Mr. Steven son has five acres in these beans. Barlow Bros.' Minstrels were greoted by a very good audienco last Saturdaj night, and from the opening to the close of the program there was an almost con? tinuous roar of laughter. The instru? mental music, singing, dancing and jug glory could not have been excelled; the jokes were fresb and full of wit, while the frog man and the contortionist were won? ders- It is not often that Anderson is visited by such an excellent troupe. Next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock a Woman's Missionary Society will be or? ganized at Eureka Church by Miss Je the Edwards, and the organization of Willing Workers will be completed. Ernest F. Cochran, Esq., will deliver an address on tbe subject, "Importance and Power of Organization." The exercises will close by an exaltation from Mr. Wm. Brown. A cordial invitation is extended to all tbe neighboring Sunday Schools to attend tbe exercises. ? Mr. Will. J. Moorehead, who recently moved from Bel ton to Darlington, S. C, where he is now engaged in merchandis? ing, was, a few days ago, elected 1st Di? rector of the Darlington Compress Co., and at a subsequent meeting of the Board of Directors was elected President. This is a high compliment to our young friend, who has only been a citizen of Darlington ! for the past six months. It always gives us pleasure to hear of the success of an Anderson County boy. Mrs. Nancy Williams, relict of the late Jasper Williams, died at her home in Gar vin Township blot Monday night, and her remains were interred in tbe Lebanon Churchyard Tuesday afternoon. She had long been a Bufferer. Mrs. Williams was about 65 years of age, and was highly es? teemed by her friends and neighbors. She was a consistent member of Lebanon Church, and the loved ones she has left be? hind to cherish ;her~ memory have tbe consolation of knowing she has gone to the "land of rest." _ Tbe pic nio given by Miss Maggie Wham's School at Liberty Spring last week was in eyery respect a success. The order was exceptionality good.* Rev. A. C. Stepp and School Commissioner Ward law delivered addresses, to which close attention was given. It was a very pleas? ant occasion. Miss Maggie Wham has done a good work at Liberty Springs, and her patrons will make an effort to secure her for next year. This is one of tbe best vicinities in the County and should keep a school going by the year. Miss Lizzie Williams, of the Ladies' Store, has a word to say to our readers this week in a new advertisement about her fall and winter stock of goods, to which we would direct your attention. Miss Williams has a larger and prettier otock than usual this season, and every? thing is being offered at bargain prices. A few days ago we were escorted through tho Ladies' Store, and after looking at the many beautiful goods we almost wished we belonged to the other sex so that we could get some of them. The goods are beautifully arranged, and Miss Williams and her corps of clerks will tako pleasure in showing them. Call early and often, and you will not regret it. The second of tbe series of meetings un? der tbe auspices of the Y. M. C. A. was held in the Methodist Church last Sunday night, the sermon being preached by Rev. M. L. Parish, of tho Baptist Church, whose text was Daniel 5:H?"I have Oven heard of tue?, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and under? standing and excellent wisdom is found in thee." Hia subject was Christian character,.and he used Daniel as a model for young men. The set-men was exceed? ingly logical cud practical, and wo regret that every young mun in Anderson was not present to hear it. Tho meeting next Sunday night will be hold in the Baptist Church, and Rev. Dr. Frterson, of tbe Presbyterian Cbljurch will preach the ser? mon. This venerable and learned divine has bad a large experience in this ufp. apd his sermon, wo know, will be words of wisdom and of great interest to young men. B9 sure to attend this meeting, young man, Sphool Commissioner Wardlaw has been appoiutej tbe representative of South Carolina in collecting 3nd forwarding educational exhibits to tbe Southern In? ter-States Immigration Exposition to be held at Raleigh, N. C, October 1st to De? cember 1st, 1891. The purpose is to pre? sent the educational advantages of the Southern States, and the efficiency and progress of the schools. Exhibits will consist of photographs or other represen? tations of the school and cpllego buildings of the State, pnblio and private, portraits of presidents, professors and teachers, catalogues, reports, papers, magazines, map drawings, essays, addresses and whatever elae is representative of the edu? cational work of our schools and colleges including agricultural, mechanical, kin? dergarten, drawing, painting, (all kinds) professional and technological work. In making the appointment Hon. C. B. Den son, Commissioner-in-chief, says to Mr. Wardlaw: "It ia the request of prominent teaohew of your State that^you bo asked to accept this honor as their represents. tlve." This appointmeni is certainly a compliment to Anderson County as well as to her effieior_t and zealous School Commissioner, and we do not believe a better man could have beeu solected for the position. Mr. Wardlaw discbarges the duties of his office with promptness and efficiency, and has frequently been highly complimented by the State Supor intendant of Education. He is deeply interosted in the educational work, and if the opening of the Exposition was a little furthor oft, so as to give bim time, he would work up as very creditable display for South Carolina. Flmt Anniversary of Chiquola Lodgo K. of P. Chiqnola Lodge, No. 32, Knights of Pythias, celebrated its first anniversary by indulging in an elegant spread at the Hotel Chiquola on Tuesday evening. The Knights assembled in their hall, and, after transacting some business, about 9 o'clock marched to the Chiquola, where they were joined by a few invited guests, and immediately took possession of tbe spacious dining hall. George E. Princn, E?q? was master of ceromonies :md pre? sided at the head of the banquent table, which was beautifully arranged and heav? ily ladened with all the substantials and luxuries of the season. Tha noble Knights and their guests did justice to tbe occa? sion, and when each bad eaten to bis con? tent it was tho unanimous verdict that a more elegant or sumptuous feast bad never before been spread in Anderson on any occasion. Mr. Prince, at tha proper time, arose from bis chair and stated that there was no regular program of toasts for the occasion, and after referring to the Knights of Pythias and paying a high oompliment to ''Mine host," Capt. White, for having provided such a grand feast, called on Judge Cox to tell of some of the objects, benefits and advantages of tbe or? der of Knights of Pythias. The Judge re? sponded in a few appropriate remarks, but be bad gotten so terribly confused on tbe distinction between the subject of matri? mony and a fine dish of maccaroni, be was soon forced to take his sent. The following gentlemen were then called opon in the order named and nearly all of them responded in a few remarks: Capt. J. M. Patriek, Prof. A. W. Miller, G. M. Tolly, J. B. Lewis, C. A. Milford. R. R. Todd, C. C. Langston, J. H. VonHasslen and J. H. Mattmgly. It was nearly 11 o'ctock when the party broke up, but be? fore adjournment a vote of thanks was tendered Capt. White, tbe genial manager of the Chiquola, for tbe excellent banquet and the manner in which he had served it. Tbe Italian Band was present and enter? tained the banqueters with some fine mu? sic during tbe evening. The occasion throughout was most delightful. Sandy Springs. Tho annual camp meeting at Sandy Springs began last Thursday and closed on Tuesday, and throughout it was a most enjoyable meeting to every one who at? tended. Tbe weather was clear and warm, which no doubt added to the comfort of those who were encamped there. On Sunday morning our good friend, S. J. Brown, of Broadaway Township, passed through the city driving a good pair of horses, and offering us a seat in bis buggy, it was not lontr before we landed at the Camp Ground. From every direction the vehicles wero pouring in rapidly, and by 11 o'clock it wbb generally conceded that the crowd was the largest that bad been seen there since the trains had ceased running on Sunday. Many estimated tbe crowd at 5,000 persons, and we don't think that estimate missed the number far. Everybody seemed to be on their best behavior, and excellent order prevailed. The 8 o'clock sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Lander, and at 11 o'clock Rev. John C. Kilgo, the financial agent of Wofford College, preached at the arbor, and Rev. A. B. Earle In the Church. It was our pleasure to hear Mr. Kilgo, who took for bis text the 24th, 25th and 2tith verses of the lGth chapter of 1st Corinthi? ans. It was a most able and effective ser? mon, and for more than an hour he held the undivided attention of his large con greg?tion. Indeed, we do not remember to have ever seen a more attentive congre? gation, and it was plainly evident that Mr Kilgo'a.sermon bad made a deep im? pression. At 3 o'clock p. m. a mass meeting espe? cially for the children was held, addresses being delivered by Mr. Kilgo and Dr. Lander. This meeting, too, was exceed? ingly interesting, not only to the children but to the older persons. There was no scarcity of ministers pres? ent daring the meeting. We noticed tbe following present on Sunday : Revr. J. O Wilson, Presiding Elder, T. C. O'Dell, John C. Kilgo, John Attaway, A. B. Earle, G. R. Schaffer, C. G. Harmon, S. Lander, D. D., E. W. Mason, J. C. Stoll, 8. H Zimmerman. S. T. Blackman, J. L. Mul linix. J. A. White, of Florida, and A. A. Merrxtt. Tho Committee had made admirable ar? rangements to enforce order throughout the meeting, and well did they succeed. Much interest, we are told, was mani? fested in tbe services from tbe beginning to the close of the meeting, and we are re? joiced to know that many souls were brought to Christ For a long series of years Sandy Springs has been a noted place among the Metho? dists of this up-country especially, and the old grounds have an interesting history, which, if put in proper shape and written out, would prove interesting reading to this and other generations to follow. Before leaving the grounds Sunday afternoon it was our good fortune to meet up with our venerable friend, Mr. R. M. Morris, who is now the only surviving member of the old Sandy Springs Society, which was organized about the time the Camp Grouud was located. Mr. Morris was born and reared and has always resided near the Camp Ground, and during our brief conversation with bim we learned many interesting bits of history in connection with the grounds. For fifty years he has been a trustee of the property, and his father was one of the first persons to build a tent there. The grounds wero located in 1827, and com? prise fifteen acres of land, which were pur? chased from old 'Squire Pope. The place was first known as Ebenezer Camp Ground, but as there was a Methodist Church in Varennes Township bearing the same name, it was changed to Sanday Springs. For the first three or four years the camp meetings were held south of the present grounds, about where tbe railroad now runs. It was decided that tho pres? ent site was a better location, and hence the change. The preacher in charge when the grounds were located was Rev. Ebe? nezer Leggett. With the exception of one or two years during the war, meetings have been held at this s..cred place every yoar since the grounds were located. Mr. Morris informed us that frequently in years past be assisted in taking the cen? sus of the Camp Ground during the an? nual meeting, and for several years there were 4,000 persons camped there, many of?whom were members of Baptist and Presbyterian Churches. Mr. Morris is now 72 years old, and in tbe vast crowd assembled there on Sunday be was no doubt the only person who could boast of having attended the first camp meeting held there. We hope God wi:l grant him many more years of health and happiness so that he can attend many more camp meetings at Sandy Springs. Eureka Items. The farmers have been very despondent about the low prices of cotton, but thoy are beginning to take courage now as the prices advance. Rev. D. W? Kiott, pastor, assisted by Rev. "VV- H. King and Rev. M, Gassaway, conducted a series of meetings at Eureka last week, in which much interest was manifested. These meetings were a bless? ing to the Church, and resulted in seven accessions to tbe membership. Miss Nora Martin, of Williamston, spent last week with Miss Zella Campbell, and attended the protracted meeting. Miss Jennie Shirley, of Honea p&th, ao oowpenied by Miss Bufibrd, of Georgia, spent a (ov days of last week with Miss Aliie Major. Miss Carrie Pear man has gone to Co? lumbia to take a course in the Winthrop Training School. Tbe Eureka Church has been completed. It is ulcoiy carpeted ana lighted up. as.d has one of tbe nicest pools that we have seen anywhere. The dedication of the Church Will take place tbe second Sunday in October. The County Singing Convention will meet with Eureka Church on Saturday before the second Sanday in October. The ladies of Eureka will be organized into a Mission Society, and the little chil? dren will be organized into a Willing Worker's Mission Sopiety next Sunday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock. A Sanday school talk or two will also be exjpected from prominent Sunday suhool workers. We haven't any marriages to report at present, but Madam Rumor says we will have later in tbe fall. Madam in a close observer, so look out. _ AtlBRICUS. Good Words from a heading AlUamsemau. Ninety Six, S. C, Aug. 24,1891.

Friend D. J. M , you need not despair any more, for on Sunday a most beautiful young lady enquired who you were, and on being informed who you were and that you are still single, she said: "He is cer? tainly good looking; I wonder if he would marry?" Mr. Elisha Smith, from Greenville, is visiting his brother, Mr. W. W. Smith, They hud not met before in seventeen years. We are sorry to know that Mrs. Nancy Williams is very low, and can't live many more days we fear. From the busy hum of 8qulre Hutchin? son gin, saw mill and grist mill, work is going on there in a hurry, Jfe is one of our moat progressive formats. Brother "Gimlet," I fear Waltor ia afflJoted with rheumatism and "heart trouble" also. Walter, you may be mis? taken about the object of "Gimlet's" visits across the Doublo Bridges, be may be gathering canes to bo used as?jhingrodf, as I have heard they are of enormous size, and might be useful for other purposes. Our young friend, Mr. Joe Patterson, who is now a telegraph operator, was up on a visit during camp meeting. He re? turned thia mprning to bis post of duty.

Spearman, at the residence of Jacob Martin, Mr. Martin Bryant and Miss Lou Spence, of Pied? mont, and Mr. Webb Davis, of Pelzer, and Miss Minnie Morgan, of Piedmont. Mrs. Josie Boyd died hero this (Mon? day) morning. Wo are having fine weather for pulling fodder and picking cotton, and the far? mers are making good use of it. As line as the weather is, and as much grass as we have that could bo saved for hay, I will bet a wooden-four-pence that some of the farmers will buy Western hay next Spring. There will be enough grass killed by the frost this fall to feed all the stock we have, and It 6hould be saved, instead of buying hay from abroad. Mr. William Jones, of Brushy Creek, is very sick. We hope he may be able to be out again soon. Mr R. Jones has built bim a new and commodious barn?something we all should have, then we could save hay, for we would have eomo place to store it away. Mrs. Bagwell, of Atlanta, Ga., is on a visit at her brother's, W. P. Lee. Allio Hayn es has raised the bridge three feet on its piers at Piedmont, getting it ready for the raise in the dam, which will be completed soon.

He went up some two or three thousand feet, and, cut? ting his parachute loose, he shot down for about a hundred leet like an arrow. The parachute then opened and he came to the ground slow and easy. Whilst coming down he made some very good per formances on the trapeze, of which he is an expert peformer. * Mosele; News. We are having very fine weather for picking out cotton. The health of the community is good, so far as I know, and the people are very busy gathering their crops. We have nothing Interesting to tell you, but as we have not seen anything from "Uncle Pe? dro" or "Aunt Lizzie" in a long time I will try and see If I can stir them up again if tbey are not sick. I suppose that they will be revived by the thrilling sound of music at our neighbor's home, as they have purchased a new piano. Mr. J. T. Morgan has purchased a new cotton gin, which is in good running order, making a very fine sample. He has sold his old outfit to Mr. L. 0. Barton. Messrs. Watson & Son are receiving a new lot of goods to suit their customers. Mr. W. A. Hall is making arrange ments to rnn a grist mill at this place, which will be a great convenience in this community. Rev. Mr. Howell is to teach school for us this winter. Mr. Howell is from Au gu8ta, Ga. The crosstie men lcoked very sad the other day after the pay train passed and they failed to draw their money. Our town was visited by Mr. Herbert Barnes last Saturday. Mr. Barnes is an aspiring young man, and is travelling in behalf of the Barbour Machine Works. The most of our neighbors, are in a pros? perous condition, judging from the new baggies we see. Some nave one horse and others, more aristocratic, have two-horse turnouts. We are expecting to hear of a call for a driver. Mr. J. L. Wiles will soon have h is new house ready for use. Then we expect to hear of a conversation party instead of a straightout dance. We think the price of butter will be re? duced, as we hear of a great many new calves in this community. R. Big Creek Items. Fodder-pulling and saving it has been tbe topic among our farmers for the past week or two. Some say the cotton crop will be cat off one-third on account of the recent dry weather. Nothing new in our neighborhood at present, except one of our young men be? ing very much aroused on the subject of matrimony. We are glad to state that Mr. James Stone and family, who have been sick with fever, are now recovering. Mr. W. E. Poore has sold out to Mr. Patrick Hindman, but expects to remain at the old home another year.

We are all about done pulling fodder, and picking cotton is now tbe order of the day. The people in this vicinity are generally enjoying very good health. Brother "Shanks" seems to be tired of reading about liver medicines. I wonder if be has ever read about tbe Alliance Liver Pills?.-a large wooden-box filled with large, nioe-looking Alliance pills wrapped with paper that was made out of cotton rags, all for fifteen cents ? As this is my first visit, I will of course not entertain you very long. But if this little package of items chances to dodge the waste basket, you will bear from me again. Needle. A Correction.

JONES, SEYBT & CO TO OUR PATRONS, We now occupy the Spacious Store Room ^ UNDER THE MASONIC TEMPLE, WHERE we are better > repared than ever to serve the Trading Public. On ' account of th? constant incn.-tse in our business we were forced to seek larger quarters, and now we have tu; hesitancy in saying that we have one of the best lighted, large-t and most spacious Store Rooms to be found in Upper Carolina. Taking this in connection wi h our long experience as merchants and buyers, we are positive that we can offer you good Goods at much lower prices than elsewhere. . We are great believers in short profits, and not to misrepresent any of our merchan? dise. For example, if a pieco of goods is cotton, we say this is all cotton. On the other band, if it is part wool and cotton, we eiy the chain is cotton and the warp is wool. A.S to Low Prices,' We would say, if an article c st us one dollar we would gladly offer same at one dollar and ten cents; but to do this we have decided to confine ourselves to Cash on Delivery, because we would ha compelled to turn our money over at least three times a year, and in order to do a rauch larger 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 i By this method a mere child 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 low, on account of over production, that the temptation was too great. We went into a Manufacturer's who had one huodred Suits that cost six dollars to make; he was compelled to sell, and we secured the lot at four dollars. We now offer excel? lent bargain, as long as the lot lasts, at four dollars and forty cents. V ave so much Clothing that we do not know what to say first. To make a long story short, we will add that our Cuatom 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 fiue sewed goods, and we give a printed guarantee on every pair. Handle three grades: $1.50, $2.00 and ?2.50?all h .ad made and best on earth.
