Gas saweiy, one of the best men who ever lived in Anderson County.

DeWitt Burkehead, D. D., pas? tor of the First Presbyterian Church in Montgomery, Ala., died at his home in that city on Tuesday, 18th lost., aged about 60 years. Several months ago he had a severe attack of the grip, from which be never recovered. Dr. Burkehead was a native of North Carolina, and was secog nized as one of the ablest ministers of the Southern Presbyterian Chnroh. He had done a great deal of evangelistic work, and wherever he labored much good was accomplished. He married a sister of Mr. B. H. Anderson, of this County, and was well known throughout this section. His death, therefore, will bring sorsow to the hearts of a widp circle of friends.* The Newberry Herald and News, of the 20th inst., says: "Miss Alice H. Brown and Mr. J.

This is the second Club of the kind formed in the State since the decision of Supreme Court in the 'Columbia Club'' ease, and as it is right under the nose of Clemson College, and not at the 'head? quarters of devilment' it will probably be allowed to pursue the even tenor of its way without being charged with "bam? boozling and debauching' the rural states? men of the land." Married, on Tuesday morning, April 26, 1S92, at the residence of the bride's father, Mr. W. F. Smith, near Piercetown, by Rev. O. L. Martin, Mr. Robert M.

Erelong a negro approached the cellar door and entered. At this juncture Mr. T?te gave the signal by firing his pistol, when the negro ran up through the store, and, unbolting the front door, made his ex? it at a rapid pace. The officers pursued him and captured him on "Whitner street. The negro proved to be Henry Talley. who had, until recently, been employed by Messrs. Snipes & Co. The burglar has been committed to jail. He implicated an? other negro, named Shumate, who was arrested, nut no proof could be secured against nim and he was discharged. Last Friday Coroner Nance held an in? quest over the body of Mary Scott, a ne? gro woman who resided on Mr. Will. Webb's plantation, in Varehnea Town? ship. A few days preceding Christmas the woman and her husband had a row, and the latter had knocked her down and kicked her out of the house. Since then she had been in declining health, and she claimed that it was caused by the brutal treatment at the hands of her husband. When she died Coroner Nance was noti? fied and as) J to make an investigation as to the cause of her death. The jury of in? quest heard the evidence of several of the woman's relatives, all of whom verified ' the statement of the cruel treatment she had received from her husband. Drs. M. A. Thomson and J. O. Wilhite examined the body, and they gave it as their opin? ion that she had died from natural causes, the former stating that he had treated her several months previous for consumption. The jury rendered their verdict in accord? ance with the statement of the physicians. Last Thursday morning Mr. D. Hoke Hammond met with a most painful acci? dent, which caused his death. While driving a young horse, which had not b:en thoroughly broken to harness, the animal became frightened and attempted to run away. The wagon was upset and Mr. Hammond was thrown to the ground with such force as to break both bones of his left leg near the ankle joint and dislo? cated the joint. One of the bones pro? truded throngh the flesh several inches. The unfortunate accident happened near his residence, ou north Main street, and he was picked up and carried into the house and everything possible was done for his relief. He never recovered from the terrible shock to his nervous system, and he soon became unconscious, in which condition he remained until 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, when death claimed him as its victim. Mr. Hammond was about 42 years of age, and was twice married. A widow and two children, and eleven children by his first marriage survive him, he having married when a boy. On Monday his remains were in? terred in the Bhiloh Churchyard, in Brushy Creek Township. Mrs. Mariah Xing, widow of the late James A. King, died quite suddenly at her home near Cray ton last Sunday even? ing, and on Monday Coroner Nance was summoned to hold an inquest over the body. From the evidence heard by the jury, the facts, briefly stated, are about as follows: Mrs. King and her sister, Mrs. Saylors, lived in the same house. On Sunday afternoon the Tormer was in her usual health, and had been visited by her daughter, Mrs. Pruitt, who lived near by. When Mrs Pruitt started home, her mother and Mrs. Saylors walked out to the gate with her. On the way back to the house Mrs. King went around to the wood? pile, and, picking up two small sticks of wood, entered her room. Five minutes afterwards Mrs. Saylora came in and. to her surprise, found Mrs. King stretched across the hearth with her face in the fire K' ace. She ran and picked the unfortunate dy up and placed ,,e> -,on a bed, Medi cal aid was summoned, but the Rood wo? man was beyond human aid. Death bad come suddenly. Dr. 0. V. Barnes exam? ined tbo body, and Rave it as his opinion that she bad died Crom ?poplexv. and the jury so reodt-red their verdict. Mrs. King was a devoted Christian, and her death is deeply lamented by all her friends and neighbors. Hor husband had preceded her to the grave just two months to the day. Cartmcl] Iustltute Items. Wo have written to you twico before, Mr. Editor, but our mail carrier has boen so irregular lately, we could not got our communications off until they woro too old. Almost all of our citizens have vow? ed that if Warren, the mail carrier, is not more punctual in the future, they will petition for a new man. That is about the only drawback we have in our community. If we had a regular mailrider, a three'-tirnes-a-weok mail and a post-of?ce located in our community, neur tho Institute, we would be a com? munity to bo enviod. Look at our advan? tages. Our healthy climate and our affa? ble doctor drive away all fear of any rav? ages of disease. We try to meet each other, visiting friends and strangers with such a welcoming salutation as to, at once, make them feel at home. We are surrounded by the Churches of Rocky *River, First Creek, Varennes and Hebron, hence our moral and religious advance? ment is secured. Besides these Churches, we have a very flourishing Sunday School at the Institute, whose good work is bound to Influence tho lives of our young for the better in years to come. That makes me think, Mr. Editor, about John's, of Alice, question. If he will come up to our Sunday School next Sun? day, and pay close attention to our work? ings, he will be better answered than in any other way. We. have a uniouachool. Our school selected its literature, which is gotten up by a Baptist institution. Every one is earnestly solicited to join us. Onr motto is "To do what is right, a<? G-od gives us light to seo what is right." We. are united for the purpose of obeying, as we can, God's command, "Go ye, there? fore, and teach all nations." We use our literature as a means of attaining that end or aim. Our Sunday School is also actu? ated by tho command, "Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come."' Wo earnestly entreat John to como and bring others to aid our good work. ' But I was speaking of the advan? tages of our community, and am about to say too much about our Sunday School, to the exclusion of others. But if one should not belieyo we have a good school "just como and see." Our school is another great advantage we enjoy. While the Sunday School and Churches insure our moral and religious development, our school gives us an intel? lectual development which so many oth? er sections fail to enjoy. Our Boil is fer? tile, and the present outlook for wheat and oats is promising. Our people are kind and hospitable, and, taken all in all, we are truly a blessed community. The recent rains have thrown us back some in our farm work. Corn and ootton planting is the order of tho day when 'tis dry enough. We wore sorry to note that our first campaign meeting was characterized by rowdyism, and want of respect to the speakers. Why can't onr voters listen to a clear statement of affairs and form opinions for themselves? Voters, lay aside your prejudices and listen to the discussion of the issues of the day with an unbiased mind. Think for yourselves and vote for what you think is right. May the disrespect shown at Greenville be the last manifested in the campaign is the wish of Quid N.unc. Cooks?Corner. Winter seemB loath to give up. To-day (25tb) the thermometer ranges down among the forties. A general cry of no. cotton prevails. Some are replanting, and others would, !f they only had the seed. It is contended by some that the seed already planted this cold weather will rot, and if such should be the case there is not sufficient seed in the country to near re-plant the cotton crop. f Mr. Jua. L. Jackson, with a small force of bands, gave our town a complete over? hauling last week, and it really looks like Cooks had stepped right square to the front. The change in appearance is won? derfully improved. Messrs. T. C. Jackson and Thos. A. Bherard are in Cbarleston and Augusta this week, combining busines and pleas? ure. A batch of young men left-this commu? nity last January to reap fortunes in Flor? ida. Two returned yesterday fully satis? fied to live and labor in Anderson County. They report that others will follow next week, others later and soon they will all bo home again, wiser if not wealthier beings. A little daughter of Mr. L. E. Hall fell a few days ago from the piazza, and frac? tured her forearm. It was soon attended to and she has since been doing finely. Yesterday evening a younger daughter was out where some hands were burning. Her clothing caught on fire, and she went some distance to the house. Her mother, noticing that something was on fire, went to search tor it, and met the child at the water pail, screaming and in a blaze. She at ouce threw her down and emptied two pails of water, extinguishing the flame at once, and fortunately, though painfully, she was not seriously injured. There was a discussion of the Greenville meeting at this place a few days' ago be? tween a Tillmanite and an anti-Tillmanite, aud the following colloquy occurred: Till man?"It's no. use in these an ties try? ing to do anything; they can't do any-, thing with these Tillmanites." Auti-Till man?"Well, it's worth working, for any? way, and we won't give it up until the very last." Tillman?"You might as well, for, if these anties go out to these big meeting and get to cutting up, these yere Tillmanites will just slap-out of 'em." Anti-Tillman?"I don't guess there will be much danger in the like, for they will be more tolerant than that." Tilllman? "No, sir, us 'one gallus' fellows is going to run rough shod over you fellows; we ain't got more than half sense no way, and get us about half drunk we ain't got a bit.' " Anti-Tillman?"My friend, I am sorry to hear you make that confession, and if I was in your place aud honestly believed that, I would just quit the party at once." Tillman?"No, sir, I just expect to stick to my crowd to the very last." * \ Welcome Items. It has been Borne time since you heard from this section, Mr. Editor, so I will give you a few of the happenings of this little growing city. The* farmers are well up in political affairs, but are a little behind with their work. The Tillmanites are still in the ring. I can say that Mr. R. A. Mullikin, of this place, has the finest garden in this section, and would not be afraid to say that it it) the finest in the County. Messrs. Mullikin & Owen are still sell? ing twenty-one pounds of granulated su? gar for one dollar. We were sorry to hear of the death of Mr. D. H. Hammond, of your city.

Come up, Smith, and see what a nice present the girls have for you. The Sabbath school at this place is in a flourishing condition. It is under the able management of Prof. Edward King.
