Death of the Oldest Resident of An?
derson.
It is our sad duty this week to chroni?
cle the death of the oldest resident of
Anderson and perhaps the las!; of the
original settlers of tho place. Wo allude
to the death of Mr. Jeptha Forbes Wil?
son, who died at his home on West Bel
ton Street Tuesday night at 11 o'clock.
He had been quite feeble for several
weeks, and the greater portion of the
time was confined to bis bed. He grad?
ually grew weakor, without suffering
much pain, until be finally closed his
eyes as an infant going to sleep.
Mr. Wilson was born near Old Pickens
ville in 1818, and when two or throe years
of age his father moved to Greenville,
where he resided until 1828. In tho latter
year tho town of Anderson had been lo?
cated, and the deceased's father, who was
a brick-mason, moved here, having se?
cured the contract for building the old
Court House. Mr. Wilson was then ten
years of age, and did his first work on
the Court House in carrying brick for tho
workmen. He learned tho brick-mason's
trade, and became one of the most skill?
ed workmen in that occupation in upper
Carolina, and for years did nearly all of
the brickwork in this aud adjoining
Counties.
Mr. Wilson was in the 75lh y6ar of his
ago, aud had spent his life in Anderson
and vicinity. He was a man with a re?
markable memory, and perhaps knew
more of the history of Anderson than any
mau now living. His mind was full of
incidents and reminiscences connected
with the history of Anderson. He had an
interesting and peculiar style of relating
them, and often has tho writer enjoyed
listening to them. He never made a pro?
fession of religion, but a more generous,
true, kind-hearted, upright, honorable
man never lived. He was widely known,
and mado a friend of every acquaintance.
Wo doubt if he ever had an cuomy. He
was ever r ady to assist the poor and
needy, and has done many a kind act that
the world will never hear of.

Annual Sleeting of the South Carolina
State Press Association.
The editors have come and gd?e, and
the eighteenth annual session of the South
Carolina Press Association can be record?
ed as a most interesting and profitable
meeting to all of the members who attend?
ed it.
Last W'.-dnesday evening hud been set
apart for the meeting of the Association,
und the afternoon trains brought in the
majority of the members who were pres?
ent. The attendance was smaller than
usual, and, as a consequence, some of the
members seemed to be a little despondent,
but at 8.30 o'clock President Wallace
called the Association to order in the
Opara House, and prayer was offered by
the chaplain. A number of our citizens
had assembled to give the members a cor?
dial welcome to our city. Mayor Tolly
WBB on hand, and at the proper time step?
ped forward and in one of his best and
happiest speeches assured the members that
they were welcome to the most progressive
town or city in South Carolina. The
Mayor fairly outdid himself, and when he
took his seat each member of the Associa?
tion felt that the word3 of the Mayor came
straight from the heart. In his modest
and inimitable style, President Wallace
responded to the Mayor's address, and
assured him that it was a great pleasure to
the Association to convene in Anderson,
whose reputation for genuine hospitality
was known throughout the State.
Thursday morning the Association con?
vened in Its* first business session in the
Masonic hall, with the following officers
in their places: President, W. H. Wal?
lace, Newberry Observer | Chaplain, Rev.
Sidi H. Browne, Christian Neighbor ; Sec?
retary, Ci H. Prince, Florence Times;
Treasurer, Franz Melchers, Charleston
Deutsche Zeitung. In addition to the
officers there were about fifteen mem?
bers present, and several others came
in during tho day.
B.. G. Osteen, of Sumter Watchman
and W. W. Ball, of the Lanrens Adver?
tiser, were proposed and elected members
of the Association, and the usual commit?
tees were appointed by the President.
"How to conduct a newspaper contro?
versy" was the first topic for discussion
and was opened by H. M. Ayer, of the
Florence Timesi. A number of the mem?
bers participated in the discussion, which
was exceeding interesting. Another inter?
esting feature of the morning session was
? the reading of a paper on''The country
editor as Journalist and printer," by
Hugh Wilson, of the Abbeville Press and
Banner. This paper gave the members
some valuable suggestions, and was dis?
cussed by several members. After trans?
acting other business the Association took
a recess.
At the afternoon session Mrs. Virginia
I D. Young, of the Allendale Enterprise,
1 and the only female member of the Asso?
ciation, read a paper on "The Star of the
West, or what a woman may do." It was
a well prepared paper, and strongly advo?
cated extending the elective franchise to
woman. None of the brethren could en?
dorse all of the views entertained by Mrs.
Young, but her compr ition was listened
to with interest, and the thanks of the
Association were tendered her for the pa?
per.
After transacting other business, the
Association adjourned until 830 p. m.,
when it reconvened in the Opera House to
hear an address from the annual orator,
Gen. E. M. Law, of the Yorkville Enter?
prise. An appreciative audience greeted
the orator and members. Gen. Law's
subjpct was "The Use and Abuse of the
Press," and he handled it in a manner
that could not be equaled. The Associa?
tion will publish the address in its min?
utes.
At the conclusion of Gen. Law's address,
the Association repaired to the Hotel Chi
quola and gathered around the festive
board, where several hours were spent
most delighfnliy. The banquet was ten?
dered by the citizens, and was presided
over by J. M. Sullivan, President of the
Board of Trade. After prayer by the ven?
erable chaplain of the Association, Mr.
Sullivan delivered a most eloquent speech,
in which be highly complimented the
journalists of South Carolina and the
Sleasnre it gave him to greet them in An
erson. He then proposed the following
toasts:
The South Carolina State Press Associa?
tion?Representative of public thought
and non-partisan in character, is a body
of men that asks no favors aud has no foes.
Response by President W. H. Wallace.
They City of Anderson?Progressive
and prosperous, ehe ever welcomes merit,
and proudly entertains the worthy guest.
Response bv G. P. Tolly.
The fourth Estate?
^"Mightiest of tho mighty mean-*,
On which the ana of progress loans,
Man's noblest mission to advance,
His woes assuage, hh weal enhance,
His rights enforce, his wrongs redress

The Press."
Response by Col. J. A. Hoyt.

perity commands our utmost patriotism.
Response by Geo E Prince.
Woman?"The star in the West"?She
ever shines in her sphere, und holds our
admiration for what site is and what she

After the regular loustts impromptu re?
marks were inade by several others who
were called upon. Among others Capt.
W. R. White, being called forth, said be
could not make u speech, but would make
a prediction, as follows : "On or about the
4th of March, 1893, Baby Ruth will draw
up a chair to the table in Washington, D.
C, and Baby McKee will be digging bait
to go fishing."
The first glance at the heavily ladened
banquet tables gave evidence that Manager
White had done his best for the occasion.
The make-up of the menu was certainly
original and unique, nearly every paper
in the State being named, as for instance :
"The Statu" brings Baked Red Snapper a
la "News and Courier"; "Observer" ham,
sauce '?Intelligencer"; "Spartan" "Her?
alds" baked turkey, "Greenville Daily
New?" style"; "Press and Banner" leg of |
mutton, "Enterprise and Mountaineer"
CapreSance; "Cleve and Steve" Cream;
"Baby Ruth Fingers," etc. It was a late
hour when the merry banqueters arose
from the table, and it was the general ex
Eression that a most delightful evening
ad been spent.
On Friday morning the members of the
Association were given a drive over a por?
tion of the city, and before 11 o'clock
again assembled in business session. Af?
ter transacting some important business,
the committee on resolutions, through
Mr. Ayer, its chairman, submitted the
following, which were unanimously
adopted :

blessed our fraternity and prospered us.

over his own and other railroads.

World's Fair in a body next year, and
the President, Secretary and Col. J. A.
Hoyt were appointed as a Committee to
make the necessary arrangements.
The Association left the selection of the
next place of meeting to the Executive
Committee, aud then adjourned.
Taken altogether the meeting was one
of the most interesting the Association
has ever held.
It was certainly a great pleasure to us to
greet our brethren and have them meet
our people, and we can assure them that
should they ever decide to visit us again
our people will give them a warm, hearty
welcome.

Eureka Items.
Drip, drip, drip, and still it rains. What
a difference between the present part of |
July and part of that month last year.
Then we were suffering with a dry spell
and were wishing it would rain, now it is
just the reverse. It has been appropriate?
ly said, that man's time is spent, "In
wishing for rains and wishing it would
clear off." May was a very fine month for
catching up with our work, which most
of us did, but June bos been a tough one,
and from present indications July is go?
ing to be a stumper. The "fourth" has
come and gone, and nobody hurt that we
know of. Some of our neighbors spent
the day at Pelzer, taking in tho baseball
games and other amusements. Messrs.
Tom Balentine and Monroe Banister went
to Augusta. They report a never-to-be
gotten time. Being of a nature disinclin?
ed to such frivolities we spent the day in
laying by potatoes and reading the news.
Mr. J. P. Maddox, one of our brag far?
mers, predicts good times in the near fu?
ture. We don't blamo him for such asser?
tions when we remember the fact that he
recently garnered one hundred and elev?
en bushels of wheat, and now be has the
appearance of a man that intends feeding
on home-raised corn for another twelve
month. So much for a farmers' alliance
that is based on self-sustaining princi?
ples.
Mr. Oscar Anderson passed through this
secsion a few days back with bis machin?
ery, and threshed out our small grain in
fine order. The people are well-pleased
with his work. Mr. Anderson Is a very
enterprising young man, and well de?
serves the thanks of his many friends for
his efficient work.
- Some of our young people attended tho
County Singing Convention, which con?
vened with the Salem Baptist Church on
the 9th and 10th inst. They enjoyed the
program very much, and especially the
kind treatment they received from that
most hospitable people.
Mr. M. N. Mitchell opened his school at
Union Grove on Monday, the 11th inst.,
for a short term during the summer
months.
There was no preaching at Eureka on
last Saturday, as had been announced, on
account of the Singing Convention at Sa?
lem, our pastor and others -wishing to at?
tend. There will be preaching and con?
ference at said place on Saturday before
the second Sunday in August.
Eureka, in the Grecian language, means
"I have found it." And we think if any
one in quest of a home in which to settle
down and enjoy their allotted time on
earth, should be led-by their guardian
genii through our progressive communi?
ty they would, in the Grecian tongue, cry
out Eureka! Eureka! Our Church is
situated on a gentle eminence surrounded
by a luxuriant grove of grand old oaks,
among which the gentle whisperings of ]
the wind, and the sweet cooings of our
native songsters are always to be heard.
To the front ar. d right is the school-bouse
surrounded by the roomy play-ground on
which the children are wont to gambol in
the freshness of innocent childhood.
Flanked on all Bides by well cultivated
farms and happy homes, the owners of I
which are a hospitable, contented and
progressive people. With a fertile Boil
and a healthy climate, what is to hinder
us from pushing forward and overcoming
that great bugbear "hard times,", and de?
veloping into an intelligent and progress?
ive community ? In tho accomplishment
of which we must have, to some extent,
good health, ambition, the ability to man?
age our affairs, and an indomitable ener?
gy, with which we are bound to meet
with success, however humble may be
our start.
Mr. Editor, wo have just boon reading
the items of some of your correspondents,
and to tell the truth we are heartily dis?
gusted. How an intelligent person can
write such nonsense is a mystery we can?
not solve. Somo one we noticed is still
harping on that threadbare subject "gen.
green." Others are expanding their lite?
rary talents in writing up every boy's
girl they ever heard of, advertising their
mustaches and indulging in silly person?
alities in general. Some one went so far
as to say that somebody else had more
mustache on his brain than there was on
his lip, and another gets so far off the
track as to mention the fact that bis
neighbor was tying his turkey out to
graze. Mr. Editor, we don't especially
object to tho p.bove, nor do we mean any?
thing personal, but really we can't get
much news out of other people's private
affairs.
Hurrah for tho Intelligencer, Shep
pard and Orr! * * *
Excursion to Tal In lab. Falls and Return,
A few days ago the announcement was
made that an Excursion Train would be
run to Tallulah Falls on the 22nd of this

thorities have notified me that they can?
not operate train on that day, but will
run the train on?

lightful trip, buy your tickets on or be

Politics, Tillman and Sheppard use to

tune has changed and it is now rain, rain,

Mr. Will Laboon and wife, of Brushy

Saturday and Sunday.
Miss Ella Mahaffy, of Williamston, is
visiting in this community.
A number of our young folks went to
Pelzer on the 4th, and their serious coun?

WilliamBton police, who says they never
spoke a word while passing through the
town.
Mr. Olin Copeland visited Williamston
last Saturday night.
Tell "Uncle Sam" if ho wants the peo?

The protracted meeting begins at Kooky

On account of my recent sickness, my
physician, Dr. J. O. Wilhite, advises me
not to enter the campaign, as it wonld en
tall too much exposure to the sun for one

throughout the County that I have with?
drawn from the race for Sheriff of Ander?

their many expressions of confidence and
support.

Will you heed the warning. The signal
perhaps of the sure approach of that more
terrible disease Consumption. Ask your?
selves if you can afford for tbe sake of sav?

it. We know from experience that Sbiioh's
Cure will cure your cough. It never fails.
This explains why more than a million
bottles were sold the past year. It relieves
croup and whooping cough at once. Moth?
ers, do not be without it. For lame back,
Bide or chest use Sbiioh's Porous Plaster.

Is it nut worth the small price of 75c. to
free yourself of every symptom of these

call at our store and get a bottle of Sbiioh's
Vitalizer. Every bottle has a printed guar?
antee on It, use accordingly, and if it does
you no good it will cost you nothing. Sold

Hot Springs,
navo you ever visted Hot Springs.
Alas! You meot while thoro so many
instances of terrible blood poison, evi?
denced by disfigurement of face and
form. Hither, rush sufferers from scrofu?
la, syphillis, eczema, salt rheum, ulcers,
blemished skin, rheumatism, etc., olc.
Some find relief, some do not and come
away poor in purse and groviously dis?
appointed. It costs money to visit and
sojourn at Hot Springs. The experi?
ment of going thero cannot be indulged
in without considerable expense. How
thankful then should ovory one bo to
know that there is a romedy even more
beneficial in cases of blood poison than
than Hot Springs. Wo refer to Botanic
Blood Balm as to its merits thousands
will testify.
Z. T. Hallerton, Macon, Ga., writes: "I
contracted blood poison. I first tried
Physicians and then went to Hot Springs,
returned home a ruined man physically.
Nothing seemed to do me any good. My
mother persuaded me to try B. B. B. To
my utter astonishment every ulcer
quickly healed."
Jas. I. Bosworth, Atlanta, Ga., says :
"Some years ago I contracted blood poi?
son. I bad no appetite, my digestion
was ruined, rheumatism drew up my
limbs, so I could hardly walk, my
throat was cauterized five times. Hot
Springs gavo mo no benefit and my life
was a torture until I gave B. B. B. a test,
and surprising as it may seem, tbe use
of ffve bottles cured me."
