A Russian doctor traces the grip bao'.-c to the ninth century. He says it meanders around &r three or four years and then retires from business for twenty years or more.. It may be some comfort to those Who have wrestled with it that it will give them a rest for twenty or more years before it tackles them again. Just grin and hear it, and keep out of the bad -weather.

C.) correspondent of the Columbia Slate, under date of the 14th inst., says: "Wednesday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, Mr. H. W. Shuler, of this town, and Miss Sallie Clinkscales, of William ?ton, were married at the residence of Mr. N. A. Bates. The affair was a profound secret, and many did not know that there was a probability of the marriage until it was announced that it had occurred. Mr. Shuler is the son of Mr. John Shuler, a wealthy planter of the'Fork' section, and Miss Clinkscales is a member of one of the most prominent families in the State, and for the last six months her home has been with her aunt, Mrs. N. A. Bates." The Easley Mesaenger, of last week, says: "Joshua Crow, of Transylvania, N. 0., was captured by Deputy Collector Ensor on Sunday last about nine miles below Easley, in Anderson County, while engaged in retailing blockade whiskey. A wagon and two steers and about twenty five gallons of whiskey was seized, and the offender lodged in jail to await an in? vestigation of his case. He i\said tobe an old whiskey offender, and we hear that he has been in the habit of making the facetious remark when he would evade the revenue officers, that the 'Crow was on the top limb, where he ought to be,' but Joshua did not get high enough on his perch this time." The Elberton (Ga.) Star says: "Among the commercial men, who have cast' their lots with Elberton and her future, there is no young man who is making a better and more enviable name for himself, than Mr. C. S. Sullivan, of the Sullivan Hard? ware Company. In the first place he has a stock of goods tteulike of which was never seen in Elberton'iefore, and in the second place he is business all over, and with a genial address he makes an im? pression that is at ono and the same time favorable and solid. Such men and such houses improve the tone of any town, and Mr. Sullivan richly deserves tbe success with which he is meeting." Speaking of street conversations, isn't it awfully embarrassing to have some fellovr meet you cordially, call you by name and slap you oq the shoulder, perhaps, while you are trying in vain to recall his name? He says he is well and asks you how you are, and then refers indefinitely to some incident of which for the minute you are totally ignorant. Then ho laughs and looks hurt because you do not follow suit, giving him a dazed sort of idiotic look Instead. Finally he says: "Well, so long, old fellow," and when he gets fifteen or twenty feet away you suddenly remember that you met him one evening winter be? fore last and that his name is Smith. The Spartanburg correspondent of the State, under date of the 10th inst., says: "The Wolf and Tyger Mining Company of South Carolina was to day organized in the office of Stanyarne Wilson by the election of S. W. Jordan of Seneca as President, D. A. T. Jordan of Greenwood Vice-President and H. K. Sulliva n of An? derson Seoretary and Treasurer, and a Board of Directors consisting of these officers and J. M. aud N. B. Sullivan of Anderson. The capital of the company is $200,000. Tt is organized for the purpose of extensive gold mining operations in the Holly Springs neighborhood in this County. It is said to be the beginning of a great enterprise, which means a new and valuable development of our already matchless County. The company is com? posed of gentlemen of large capital and es? tablished business capacity." Will we have war with Chili ? Every one now is asking his neighbor what he chinks of the chances of war. Apparently this Is because Frank ^ Leslie's Wccklg de? voted so much spaco to illustrating the wonderful ships of the new navy. A mobt iutereat'ug piccure is bho wn. of tho Mia* tonomoh, which ia the strongest boat in the new navy. Every one wBb, wishes to see what a magnificent boat shej is should no t miss looking at her in Prunk Leslie's Week hj. This <;reat weekly is the only one which gives.every week a pngo of foreign events, and this fact alone makes it worth the subscription price of $4 per year. Those who have not had their character read should see what an interesting sub? ject it is, and send in a specimen of their handwriting to the Arkell Weekly Com? pany, 110 Fifth Avenue, New York, whose offer is still good on the colored number, a graphological chart and an or? der on Peter Henderson & Co. for $1.25 worth of rose or chy6antbomum plants or flower seeds which is good until June 1st. A correspondent of the Greenville News says: "Among the many beautiful pic? tures which grace the studio of tho gifted I and beautiful young artist, Miss Lillian Swy^ert, of Williamston, 8. C, we were specially fascinated by two?one a mag? nolia blossom and bads over which you instinctively haug feeling confident you will cnbale the subtle perfume; the other an Italian landscape of such rare beauty and exquisite execution that you shield your faco from the warmth and glory of i(s blue skies and bow your head to meet the balmy, flower laden breezes of this earth garden. A wondrous power does tho young artist hold in her mystic brnsh. Whether it be a rock, a flower, a bit of sea or stretch of shore all bears that God given stamp of genius which renders it immortal. Miss Swygert certainly ro fleets credit on hor gifted instructor, "Prof. Hal Morrison," whose laurels are won from two continents." Last Friday afternoon Samuel Watt, son of Mr. W. M. Watt, of Hall Town? ship, met with a fatal accident by the ac? cidental discharge of his gun. He had his gun in the yard, and, having to enter tho house for some purpose, loft the gun leaning against the piazza. When he came out on tho piazza he attempted to lift the gun, when the hammer struck tho floor, discharging the gun and the whole load entered just under his chin. Tho young man foil to the floor and in a twinkling his mother was at his Bide, but before she could hardly realize what a terriblo accident had happened he was a corpse. The wound was a most frightful one. The deceased was about 16 years of age, and was a bright, energetic lad, whose sad death was a terrible shock to his parents and loved Jones. On Sunday morning the remains wore interred in the Cross Roads Churchysrd, Rev. B. Hays conducting the funeral services. The grief-stricken parents have many sympa? thizers in their bereavement. Reid Morrison, a young white man, who is charged with stealing cotton and burn? ing Mr. J. G. Douthit's gin house, in Pendleton Township, last fall, was ar? rested at Millwood, in Rutherford Coun? ty, N. C, last Sunday night by Mr. N. R. Green, Anderson County's efficient Dep? uty Sheriff. Mr. Green reached the city Tuesday with the prisoner, who is now in Jail. In locating and arresting Morrison, Mr. Green displayed his usual efficiency and skill as a detective, and proves what we have always claimed?that a violator of the law has to be exceedingly sharp to evade arrest whec. our Deputy gets after him. Mr. Green had quietly been tracing the prisoner until a few days ago, when he located him at a big saw mill under the assumed name of Williams. Mr. Green went to North Carolina Saturday, arriving at Millwood on Sunday. That night abont 12 o'clock he went to the mill and, with the assistance of another officer, found Morrison asleep in a cabin with another man. The officers secured en? trance and Mr. Green was putting the handcuffs on his prisoner when he awoke. Morrison at once recognized Mr. Green, made no attempt at resisting arrest, and came to Anderson without any trouble. Morrison denies burning the gin, but ad? mits having sold the stolen cotton. Ho says he was paid to sell the cotton by two negroes. Last Friday morning Mr. A.S. Stephens received a telegram conveying the sad in? telligence that his youngest son, Mr. Henry W. Stephens, had died suddenly early that morning at his home at Belt Junction, near Atlanta, Ga. The an? nouncement was a great shock to the pa? rents as well as to the numerous friends of the deceased in Anderson, his native homo. Mr. and Mrs. Stephens left that afternoon for Belt Junction, and on Sat? urday afternoon the remains were interred in the cemetery there. Tho deceased was abont 25 years of age, and a young man' of excellent qualities of both heart and mind. For a number of years he had been in the employ of the R. & D. R. R., and has recently been filling the respon? sible position of transfer agent at the Junction. He was held in high esteem by the Company, and in the oourse of time would no doubt have been promoted to a higher position. Mr. Stephens had been a consistent member of the Baptist Church since bis boyhood, and in every relation of life discharged his duties well. In his boyhood he worked a year or two in the Intelligencer office, and we can testify to his many good traits oi character. He leaves a young widow and pne child to cherish his memory. It is truly very sad to see a young, robu9t man cut down just entering upon the groat responsibilities of life, but it is the work of an All-wiso God, who doeth all things for the best, and we should not murmur. Wo tender our deepest sympathy to the grief-stricken parents in their bereavement. Rev. A.. C. Stepp publishes several mar? riage notices in the last issue of the Green? ville Enterprise and Mountaineer, and in connection therewith says: "I have mar? ried over two hundred aud fifty couples in Greenvillo, Laurens, Spartanburg, Now- l berry, Abbeville and Anderson Couuties. Never disappointed a couple in my life. Havo been called on frequently when other engagements would not admit of my going. There are several cases in which I have married the same man twice, but I remember no instance whore I have married the same woman the sec? ond time. I remembor to have married four sisters in the following families; namely : James Clardy of Laurens, Dan? iel Beeks of Laurens, Harris Thompson of Greenville, Robert McClary of Greenville, "Willis A. Davenport of Greenville, Floyd Davenport of Greenville, and four of the Rinman sisters. I have also married four brothers iu tho Thompson family, two sons of Daniel Beeks, one son of James Clardy, and one son of Floyd Davenport, and have preached tho funeral of James Clardy, Daniel Beeks and two daughters, Robert McClary, his wife and daughter, Floyd Davenport and daughter, and of F.

The Belton Oil Mill. Belton-j S. C, Jan. 19,1891. Ed'dors Intelligencer: Why Belton Oil Mill has not been a success ia a question which may bo of interest to your readers, not alone becauso Belton is near enough for thorn to feel a neighborly interest in its affairs, but because the industry is ono peculiar to this section, and presonts a field easily accessible. To explain this and to correct certain false impressions the progress of the en? terprise will bo briefly reviewed from its inception. The Belton Oil Mill, Ginnery and Fer? tilizer Company was organized in the spring of 1890 by farmers and business men of this town and vicinity to the number of seventy-five. Capital to the amount of ?12,000 was paid in. The Com? pany expended ?16,000 in the erection and equipment of the mill and ginnery and the 18 to 20-ton plant, Operations were commenced about January 1, 1891, and when after a four months running season tbo report of the President and business manager, A. C. Latimer, was submitted in May last, it was seen that a dividend of 8 per cent, had been made. The Board of Directors decided to make the mill more efficient, and in doing so expended in re? pairs and improvements $3,300, thus mak? ing the sum expended in the purchase and improvement of the property over and above tbo capital paid in $7,300. To raiso this debt for which the Directors had become personally liable, a meeting of stockholden? was called December 1G, when it was deomcd advisable to Bhut down the mill, dispose of the product on hand and endeavor to raiso the amount desired. Being unable satisfactorily to eo curo this capital, the corporation has con? cluded to sell the entire plant and wind up the business. Tho Company last year manufactured and received payment for 330 tons of fertilizers, no bad debts have been contracted and no bad business man? agement can be complained of. The trouble Is that the Company started with insufficient capital, and this inconvenience, combined with the shortness of tho crops, and the consequent scarcity of money among the stockholders and in the finan? cial markets has led to the present suspen? sion, which it is trusted will not bo of long duration, for the stockholder?,' though themselves not in a position to co tinue the business, feel that parties with capital can make a success of the enterprise and can, in all probability, se? cure cheaply a splendid properly when it shall be sold to the higher-it bidder at Bel tou, February 10, at. 11 a. m. The build? ing is a splendid brick, the suction eleva? tors and seed conveyors of the latest type, and the machinery, including three70-saw gins with a daily capacity of 25 or 30 bales, of tho most improved quality, everything being in first-class condition.

We are having a great deal of sickness in this section. Tho "grippe" has struck our people at last, and there is hardly a family escaping from its clutches. Mr. J. B.

There is more sickness in this section [ than we havo ever experienced at any season of the year. In every family thero aro one or more members sick, and n number of the cases are serious.

He did his work thoroughly, for the store? room, which was unusually long, was en? veloped in flames from one end to the other, when tho firo wr... discovered. The building and goods had some insurance, but thoy will sustain a loss of about one thousand dollars. The books were well protected by a fire-proof safe.
