Now let some aspiring author write on "how, < when and where to tell tbe truth about tbe number and weight of fish caught," ?, pud the fishing season may be considered formally opened. It gives us pleasure to note that our friend, Mr. J. E. Moorehead, formerly of Anderson, but who has been a member of the Columbia police force for several years, has been elected a Sergeant of tbe force.

R., in Greenville, made a hurried visit to Anderson last week, and his many friends and old com? panion's were delighted to greet bicu.

The grist mill, saw mill and cotton gin of Mr. W. W. Smith, in the Piercetown section, was burned last Saturday night. Nothing was saved except the engine, which was badly damaged. The loss is estimated at more than $1,000, and there was no insurance. Mr. Smith thinks that the fire was accidental, and caused from the fire-box of the engine. The closing exercises of the Grcely In? stitute (the colored school of this city) will take place to morrow (Friday) evening, in Centenary Hall, at 8.30 o'clock. Tno In? stitute is closing earlier than usual, for the reason that the principal, Rev M. H. Gas saway, has been elected a delegate to the General Conference of the M. E.

His friends here are glad to greet him, and we join them in wishing him a speedy restoration to his usual health. The Juvenile Missionary Society held a very interesting Easter Service in the Methodist Church last Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock. All the Sunday Schools of the city wereinvited to attend the services, and as a consequence the Church was crowded to its utmost capacity. The ros? trum was tastefully and beautifully deco? rated with evergreens and Sowers, and in an arch above the pulpit thosesacred words, ? TbejLord Is Risen," coold be seen from every portion of the Church. A large cross was suspended from one side, and above it hung a model white dove. The exercises opened with an appropriate vol? untary from the choir, which was follow? ed by a recitation, "Easier Day Wel? come," by eight little girls. Mr. W. R. O?borne, the Assistant, Superintendent of tie Sunday School, who presided throughout the exercises, read the Script? ure lesson, which was followed by a pray? er from the pastor, Mr. Smith."After sing? ing a hymn, five little girls and five little boys stepped dor ward, one at a time, with a little block, on which appeared a word in bold letters, and alter recitiug an appro prhtte teutence, deposited tbe blocks, one on the other, on the pulpit, and these word blocfcs formed the sentence, "Go ye into all tbe world aud preach to every crea? ture." This was followed by an interes? ting but short addre&s from the pastor, Mr. Smith. Next on the program was a recitation, "Easter Offering," by Master Norman Prince, who did it very gracefully. While Miss Bessie Wtlsou sweetly sang a hymn, a collection was takeu'for tbe missionary cause. Mr. 0?borne then stated that a few WHiks preceding mite boxes bad been given out to the members of the Juvenile Society, aud a prize offered to the one who would secure tbe most money. This prize, he stated, had been won by Minnie Payne, the bright and in? teresting little 10 year-old daughter of Mr. J. M. Payne, whose box contained $5.23 The prize, a book entitled f'The Story of Jesus," was then presented to Minnie. This closed the exercises, which bad been highly onjoyed by both old and young. It is a well known fact that Rev. A. Coke Smith, now' of Nashville, Tenn., is one of the ablest and most eloquent min? isters South Carolina has ever produced, but that gentleman will have to look out for his laurels, for he has a brother, Rev. C. B. Smith, pastor of the M. E. Chnrcb, in this city, who is coming right along side of him. This is Mr. Smith's fourth year in Anderson, which is, under the rules of his Church, the limit of his stay in auy one pastorate, and our people, of .every denomination, will regret to see him leave Anderson next December. He is a young man, a close student, and for logi? cal argument, force of* expression, elo? quence, y practical judgment, original thought and deep impressi veness in bis ser? mons, he to-day stands in the front rank of the South Carolina Conference. Every time we hear a sermon from him, be seems to grow deeper in handling God's troths. His ssrmon lest Sunday night, based on the text from Isaiah XU: 6? "They helped every one his neighbor; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage"?was exceedingly im press* ive'and interesting, and we-regret that every true citizen of this section did not hear it. He spoke of the imperfections of man, and said, while he had never seen a perfect man, yet he had never, seen a man I who had fallen so low in sin and vice who did not have some good trait in his heart, and who could not be impressed with some- truth if approached in the proper way. Many, a poor mortal could have been saved from eternal punishment had he been approached in the right way, and what little virtue or good that was in him properly commended. The poor mortal's neighbor, however, was too prone to go around and magnify bis vices or shortcomings, and never giving him credit for one virtue he may have had or one bit of good he may have accomplished. Frequently professing Christians were guilty of doing this, when it was their duty to take the erring friend by tbe hand and give him an encouraging word. In the course of his sermou Mr. Smith re? ferred to tbe deplorable state of political affairs in our old beloved State, and justly rebuked the men who, for the sa.':9 of worldly policy and worldly gain, would give their support to wicked men and de? nounce Christian men for attempting to make politics like their religion?pure aud good. In this little digression, as bo termed it, Mr.*Smith seemed to put his whole soul into his words, and his re? marks were exceedingly eloquent and pa? triotic. The sermon throughout was one that is calculated to do good, aod his line of thought ought to be diffused more fre? quently than it is from the pulpit. Mark our prediction: Mr. Smith will one day wear the title of Bishop in his Church, and will go down to his grave with the consolation of having saved many an err? ing soul. _ Locating the Industrial College. The Board of Trustees of the Industrial and Winthrop Normal College met in this city on last Thursday to examine sites and determine on a location for the Col? lege. The following members of the Board were present: Go v. Tillman, Superinten? dent of Education Mayfield, Senator Hemphlll, Prof. Joyoes and Representa? tives Fuller, Buist, McLaurin and Brea zeale. The Board held a meeting in the morn? ing, and then announced their readiness to visit the variou? places offered as sites. They were taken in charge by a Commit? tee consisting of Mayor Tolly and Alder-; men Means and McCully, as representa? tives of the City Council, assisted by a number of gentlemen from the city, and driven through Whitner Street to visit the places of Mnj. Whitner, Col. Rucker, Mr. S. H. Provost, Wm. O. Whitner aud Mr. K. B. Fant. The next place exam? ined was the "Anderson place" on North Main Street, and from thence the party went to the Sbarpe place on Greenville Street, the Capt. Evans; place, the W. D. Brown place (Col. Orr's old place) and last to a site on South Main Street belong? ing to Dr. Orr and others. On returning to the city from this place the party stopped at tbe Patrick Military Institute that the Governor might review the Cadets, but a heavy rain camo up and the visitors were forced to return to the Hotel, after having been out about four hours. The Board beld another meeting that evening, but kept their counsels and con? clusions to themselves, aud gave to the public no intimation as to which location, if any, they had decided to accept, "Finite? of Fertzance" r'layed Before the Fabitc? Oh Wednesday night of last week a good? ly number of our peoplo gathered in the Opera House to witness the performance of ttie '"Pirates Pnnzance" as presented and managed by a company organized from among tbe ranks of tbe bright and talented young ladies and gentlemen of the city. The company was organized and trained by tbe Mi*ses Cornish, who are accom? plished and finished musicians, and skill? ful directors in the preparation of a com? pany for appearance before the cultured audiences that assemble in Anderson's Opera House. Mr. Guy Groves gracefully performed the duties of stage manager. The followinc cast of characters we clip from the program: P.icliard, a Pirate King.Mr. Guv T. Grove Samuel, his Lieutenant....Mr. John Dodd Frederic u Pirate Apprentice.Mr. Will C. King Muior-lieueral Stanley of the British Army? Mr. Bob Baker. Rdwsid, a Sergeant of Police.Mr. Ben. Fant Mabel, General Stanley's Youngest Daughter? Miss Alma Wickliflb Ka:c, ).Miss Louise Murphy { General Stanley's Daughters L?ith, j Miss Annie Kennedy Isabel, J.Miss Mary Johnson , Ruth, ? Piratical "Maid-?f-all-work"? Mr. Jim Brown ' General Stanley's Daughters, Pirates, Policemen. Euch character was forcefully presented, j and in tbe pathetic as well as in the amus- ? ing scenes, the sympathies of the bouee were with the players Tbe singing of Miss ; Wickliffe and Mr. King was especially well received, though tbtt audience mani- | fe8ted their approval of all tbe acting by i frequent applause. Though the crowd had to gather and depart iu the rain, so well was the house filled as to encourage the announcement that on the following evening the play would again be given, and for the second time the "Pirates" appeared before a well filled house on Thursday night. Tbe proceeds arising from these plays will be contributed to tbe monument fuud. We commend the good ?ause, and congratulate all connected with the play for their zeal and labor to this end. Honea Path Newa. The merchants of Honea Puth have agreed to close their stores at six o'clock p. in. from May the 1st to September the 1st, Saturdays excepted. Mr. M. B. Dunlap, tho Superintendent of tho Methodist Sunday School, an? nounces that the School will observe Children's Day on Saturday before the fourth Sunday in May. Rev. Chas. B. Smith, of Anderson, and Rev. E. P. Tay? lor and Capt. J. B. Humbert, of Prince? ton, are expected to make addresses. In addition to these addresses, an interest? ing programme is being arranged for the children, and a day full of pleasure and profit is anticipated. Rev. Mr. Wilson, Pastor of the Presby? terian Church, will hold services here beginning on Friday night of this week and continuing until Sunday night. He expects preaching on Suuday by a visit? ing minister. Rev. A. C. Stepp ahd Rev. L. M. Rice attended the ordination of Deacons at Little River Church last Saturday. The Liberty (col.) Baptist Church of this place have added much to the looks of their church building by creeling a nice steeple. Nearly all who went from here to the Greenyille meeting report a very un? pleasant time, and say they don't wish to attend any more political hurrahs. I have heard several Tillman and antl Tillman men say that that thoy would like to see all the present candidates dropped and a new ticket made. Strife between the opposing factions is running so high that it docs look as if something ought to be done. Both sides claim that the other side is responsible for the strife. It makes no difference which side is to blame, as far as the fact of the stril'o is concerned. Wo all know that it exists. Christian men must stand in nwe when they contemplate what effect the present system of howling down, of wrangling and abuso must have upon the morals of our people. Let Christian men every? where, in town and in country, havo tho courage to refuse to engage in any rough melnods, aud be kind, but firm, in the interest of peaco and good order, and a d.rlcrent state of things j?-ill soon exist. Dr. W. G. McGoo has been sick for the last week, but we hopo that ho will soon bo well again. Miss Rosa Cox, who camo homo sick from the Winthrop Training School sev? eral weeks ago, has so far recovered as to be able to attend church last Sunday. Pop. Townvlllo Locals. The three months old infant daughter of Mr. J. C. Spears died last week of whoop iDg cough. Townville Democratic Club No. 1 re? organized on the 9th and elected Tillman delegates to the County Convention. Mrs. 8 G. Bruce is visiting her parents in Keowee Township, Oconee. Mrs. Howard G. Bruce of Blacks, 8. C, io visiting her parents here, Mr. E. P. Earle has been elected Super? intendent of the Baptist Sunday School at this place, the former Superintendent, Mr. L. 0. Bruce, who had served the school for so long, having resigned. Messrs. Jim McLeskey and George Grant, of Seneca, attended Church here Sunday. Mr. C. T. J. Giles, who has been so? journing for a year iu North Georgia, is at home for awhile. Mrs. Jonnio Hayes, wife of Mr. W. W. Hayes, died on tbe 8th inst. of consuino ; tiunj aged about Bixty-five years, Mrs. ! Hayes was an excellent woman and had been a faithful member of tbe Baptist Church nearly all her life. Her body was laid to rest at old Providence, a few miles from herein Oconee. Rev. Cater Ligon preached in the Pres? byterian Church ou Sunday, tbe 10th. Rev. J. Walter Dicksou, of Orangeburg, preached a flue sermon at Stnitb Chapel Sunday. Mr. John 0. Gantt, of Broyles, speaks of moving to the city of Anderson. Ander: son's gain therefore would occasion a loss the Fork could ill afford. Mr. A. J. Graham, one of the Fork's oldest citizens, has been in very poor health for some time, and his. condition is now considered critical. W. A. Dicksnn, principal of the South Union School, paid us a flying visit Sat? urday and Sunday. Prof. Dickson is looking well. I think the Oconeeites will prevail on him to serve them as School Commissioner tbe next term. Old Rosin De Bow. Sandy Brings Items. Well, Mr. Editor, news is scarce around here. ? We are having some winter like weather at this writing. A considerable freeze oc? curred this morning. Planting corn and cotton is the order of the day. The fruit is nearly all killed in this set tion. T. L. Hobson and bis little boys are fast recovering from their afflictions, which gives their neighbors great satisfac? tion. W. E. McAlister's family has also got able to be up and around. Mr. John McAlister, an aged citizen who has lived at Pendleton Factory fur a number of years, died there on Wednes? day night, the 6th inst., and was buried at Sandy Springs on Friday following, Rev. Samuel Anderson conducting the funeral services. He was a member of the Bap tist Church, and had led a consistent life for forty years. Ho died in full triumph of the faith of tbe Lord and Saviour, leav? ing an aged wife and four boys and one daughter, all grown. May God bless the children and mother in their sore bereave? ment. Well, Mr. Editor, it seems tho girls around here do not realize that this is leap year. Girls, get up a hustle and get about, or somebody is going to get left. The Democratic Club met and re-organ? ized at this place last Saturday, and a large turnout of boys were present and had a very interesting meeting. A large ma? jority are for B. R. Tillman. We are ex? pecting to have a lively time during this year's campaign. Gifsey. Democratfc Clubs. Rock Mills Democratic Club met at Williford's Store April 9cb, 1892, aud re? organized by electing Dr. J. T. Cook, President; C. M. Barrett, Secretary ; J. T. Cook, L. O. Wilhford, B. W. Hurbio, J.

The Bishop Branch Democratic Club met Saturday afternoon, April 9th, and after re-organizing and transacting other business, passed the following resolution : Jicsolved, That the Bishop's Branch Democratic Club, appreciating the merits of B. T. Martin, hereby nominate and en? dorse him for County Commissioner. This being Mr. Martin's home club, we feel it our duty, as well as pleasure, to tes? tify to his goud standing and fitness. The Secretary was requested to have the rosolution published. The Club was well attended, and those present seemed to be enthusiastically iu favor of Tillman for Governor. W, F. C. Owk^, Seoretary. Holland'? Store Item?. As your correspondent from tbis sec? tion is somewhat irregular in bis contri? butions, Mr. Editor, I thought I would give you a few itoms of nows. Wo have had a great deal of rain re? cently. On the 14th inst. ono inch fell in about an hour. Tin's was oceonipaniod by considerable thunder, and a very heavy wind, which did a great deal of damage. From what wo have heard the fruit crop seems to have been considerably damaged by tho cold weathor. Peaches, especially, aro pretty generally killed. Wc hope, however, that thero are enough left for a good crop. Luring the good weather we have had, the farmers have been making fine pro? gress with their work. Wo do not remem? ber to have seen thorn as well up with their work before at this season. Plant? ing is tho order of tho day, and wo arc sorry to note that tho acreage of cotton that is being planted this year will equal that of last. Wo suggest, as a substitute for so much cotton, that some of our far? mers engage in stock raising. There is no reason why wo cannot raise stock of all kinds as successfully as the Kentucky fanners can. It Is truo that their soil is better adapted to the growing of grasses and grain than ours, bin we can raiso grain and bay of all kinds very cheaply, and our superior climatic advantages will nioro than compensate for tho difference in soil. We should bo glad to see some of our lending farmers givo this industry a trial. We have two schools in this communi? ty : One. at Ruhamah, taught by Mr. Job Ycargin, and one at Shiloh, taught by Miss Deci Earlo. Both of theso schools aro presided over by efficient and con? secrated teachers, and we aro informed, have been well attended. We should be glad to see theso schools run for eight or ten months of thej*ear. Thoro is no way to fully estimate the worth of good schools to a community. . The health of this neighborhood is very good nt present. La Grippo has left us, but tho pleasant (?) recollections of his visit still linger. Tho West Savannah l)omocralic Club met at Holland's Store on tho Oth of April. It was very well attended, and was characterized by unusual interest in tho political issues now before tho people. Politics is an all-absorbing topic of in? terest. This community is almost solidly in favor of Tillman and the reform poli cy. Profane language and sacreligious ref? erences to the Scriptures seemed to bo a very conspicuous characteristic of some of tho speeches delivered at Anderson on the 5th inst. This was not only in bad taste, but added nothing to tho speeches, and was disrespectful to the religious sensibilities of tho audistico. Wo hope tho day is not very distant when an audience cannot be/ound in Anderson County that will give respectful attention to a speaker who speaks so disrespectfully of sacred things. Somo excitement appears in this vicin? ity over the appearance of several mad dogs. So far as we know, nobody has been bitten, but the excitement has had the good effect of ridding the neighbor? hood of a good many worthless dogs. Miss Cola Winter, who is off at school, paid a visit home recently. Miss Berta Holland has returned homo. We are glad to have her again in our midst. Elrazi. Alice News, Jack Frost has come again. Of the fruit, I think a few plums are left, so you can come down, Mr. Editor, and uejp cat plums. Planting cotton seed is the order of the day. Mr. E. Hall, Sr., is one hundred years old, and is enjoying good health. Mr. J. C. Hall has been confined to bis room for the last three months, caused by a log rolling over his leg. He is able to be out again, we are glad to say. It seems that some of our boys havo bad luck when then go courting. One of them, on his last trip, lost his saddle, and the next; morning he saw a negro with if. Another one lost his mule, and the iiext day he found a man .plowing it. Boys, you should walk the next time. We bad a big hail storm lost Thursday. I have been requested by two of our popular young ladies to tell Mr. Willie Richey that they will dine with him next Sunday. Will, put the big pot in the little oue, and give them a royal reception. A certain young maa visited a certain young lady a few Sundays ago, and while takings, stroll together she showed him tbe graveyard uhe wanted to be buried in. Now, old boy, if you don't win her ba nd and heart, it will be your own fault. The Lowndesvllle correspondent, "Old Eyes," fiays the political guns discharged iu Anderson recently were loaded with in? ferior powder, and that the degree of the powder had greatly, decreased. Our friend is badly mistaken. Instead of de? creasing it has increased, and the Tillm nn supporters will win. / We want to know how a union Sunday School cau use Baptist literature, or the literature of any particular denomination, without consulting the whole school ? A few individuals should not rule the whole school. It is not-right, and wiil do har m. John. Barnes Items. Mrs. Lee Norrls, of Smithonia, Ga., came over and spent a week with relatives and friends, and returned home last Sun? day. April got a regular Western hustler on him last Thursday and shook himself up as if he were running a ueck and neck iace with a blizzard. He Bwept the streets cleau like a woman with a train. Mr. James Callaban and bis sister, Miss Casaie, of the Level Land section, spent a day and night in th:'s community recently. Miss Mamie Davis is visiting in our midst again. Misses Minuic McGee and Vermilion Avery were yiniting here a few days ago. It is said of Rev. J. T. Morgan's sermon last Sunday iu the Baptist Church tbatit is the ablest he has ever preached. We were glad to get a peep at Mr. S. L. McKinney recently. You must come ofteuer, Sam , or tbe Doctor will dismiss you. Mrs. Jane Seigler, of the Haid Scrabble section, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Sarah Patterson. Will Uncle Archey's Cat, Puella and Pets tell us whore they were going in such a hurry last Saturday evening? At this writing Mrs. Margaret Hall Is visiting relatives at Hester. Boys, if you get into trouble don't despair, friend Dave will get you out every lime. Only trust him, Mr. W. A. Hall has the finest wheat in this community. It is more than a week since tbe first heads were seen in his field* He is afraid the frost will kill it. The good people of this community met and organized a Sunday School at the M. E.

I don't waut to miss a tingle copy of it. As long as you get up as good a paper as the Intellioe.su eu uow is, it will bo solid. Success to you ! KlMl'SY. Aadergouvllle Items. The farmers are getting a move on them? selves now. Tho majority aro through planting cotton seed. The acreage is con? siderably cut down in this vicinity, and more attention given to making the farms self-sustaining, and we think if tho farm? ers do that the day is not far distant when western corn will be unknown in this sec? tion. The fruit crop is not all killed iu this vicinity. Wo don't see how it escaped, as we had some very hard frosts tbe past week. The wheat aud oats are looking very promising now. It is said that Thomas King, col., has tho host wheat in this sec? tion. And now let us any that ITnele Tom is one of those men who stay at home and lets politics alone. The Sunday School at this place is in a flourishing condition, but now could it bo otherwise with such an energetic Sunday School worker as Mr. J. M. Wright at the helm. Mr. Editor, please allow us space to re? turn our heartfelt thanks to the many friends who ?0 liberally aided us in getting an Invalid's Rolling Chair. Such kind? ness is very highly appreciated, as it af? fords us opportunities not euloyed for many years. Well, Burt, how Is your mustache get? ting on? Is it in full bloom yet?

It has boen published to the world that I was a Republican, my name appearing among the list of delegates to the recont Reform Republican Convention in Colum? bia. I am not a Republican, but am It Democrat on principle, and I attended that Convention under a misapprehension, thinking it was Bimply a convention of postmasters. ' JAS. E. CARTER, roatmaate-', Low?d.esTiUe, 0. C. Lebanon Items. It soems that Lebanon was on a boom second Sunday. Our large Church was nearly full of attentive hearers, and we felt that it waa indeed good for us to be there. Our pastor nppeared in his happiest mood. His test was the lirst chapter and last verse of James. HeCtnld us in terms, not to be misunderstood, the whole duties of a Christian, and any one who appre? ciates edification and gratification will never regret attending. We were glad to sen in our congrega? tion Prof. W. P. Holland, formerly of Lebanon, but now of Central, S. C. It seems that Central is good to them. Mrs. Hutchinson, of Iola, (a suburb of Lebanon) who has benn quite ill, wo are glad to hear is improving. Mr. A. N. Craig, of your town, called on bid best girl near bore Sunday. Two men in this neighborhood, who live in sight nf each other, promised each other they would not attend one of these third party meetings. The other afternoon they left home, going in opposite direc? tions, each one thinking tbe other was go? ing some where else. But they met face to face in the hall where they bad prom? ised each other not to go. Now this would be excusable in a woman, for wo? man's cariosity has been proverbial ever since it led her to taste that apple which grew in cousin Adam's garden. But in this case what about it? The farmers around here have terracing on the brain, and it's a good thing to have when put in practice. It has got to be so common there was one man building who wanted to terrace the roof of his house. It's wonderful how tbsyliave stood the re? cent hard rain?, and they improve appear? ances so much, as well as preserve the land. Some say it's been put off too long to be beneficial, but we know it's never too late to do good. Jumbo. Real's Creek Items.

While Mrs. Joe Major and Miss Allie wore on their way to Church Sunday af? ternoon, tbeir mule got frightened and came very near turniug tho buggy over, but we are glad to say that it did not hurt them, but I imagine they were scared. Cows are still dying in this section. Mr. Richard Shirley lost a fine one last week. Some of the young people of this' Elace went down to Mohawk to the last all which occurred last Saturday evening. They report having a pleasant time. Ask Miss Ella how she enjoyed herself. "Doe" has planted out bis orchard. I think his girl has said "yes," after hard begging. Well, Mr. Editor, I will close for this time, but I guess you will hear from me again next week. Farmer's Lad. ? A now solution of tho wage problem has been brought forward in Belfast. Me. A shopkeeper hired a clerk and paid him $4 for the first week. At tbe end of the second week tho clerk was surprisod when ho received only $:>, and he asked the reason of tho cut down. "Why," responded tho shopkeeper, "you know more about tho business now, and tho work must como easier to you." Tho clork, fcaringa continued application of that unique thoory, resigned. ? The Supremo Court of North Caro? lina last week filed an opinion in the caso of tho State against a Charlotto hotel keeper, whose barkeeper sold liquor to minors. Tho Court holds that a liquor license is a personal trust. Hence, though tho man holding the license may om ploy persons to sell liquor for him, yet if illegal sales are made by tho clerks, as on Sunday or to minors, the clerk know? ing them to bo such, tho holder of the license is liable to indictment as well as tho clerks, etc., sinco it is criminal neg ligcnco ou his part not to keep a sufficient oversight to provout a violation of tho law. Iu other words the act of tho em? ployee is the act of the principal. LL'HOX EMXiK. Its Wonderful Effects on the Livar, stom? ach, Dowels and Kidneys. For Billiousness.
