Scott and some land papers were I taken. Nothing else in the store was dis ? tui bed. This fact, together with tbe clean out character of the work, is taken to indi? cate that the perpetrators were professional craciajfitfn. *So far there is no clue to the ldim Bftthe thieves-" ? Mr. W. T. Harper, ?f Jones County, Miss., who Is now visiting relatives in An? derson County, gave the Intelligencer a call last Tuesday.

The- Walhalla Courier, of tho lfith inst., I says: "We are grieved to announce the death of Mm. Georgia Norrie nee Wicker, wife of Mr. R. B, Norrie, which sad event occurred in Walhalla this morning at 8 o'clock. She was & native of Newberry, and her remains will be taken to that place for interment to-morrow. She was a con? sistent memben^f the Methodist Church, I and had exhibited in her Christian life all the graces jmd virtues of her sex. She ? leaves a husband and three little children, with many friends, to mourn her death." Mr. Nflifris has many friends and relatives in ouf midst who deeply sympathize witb hin/and his little children in their be vemeat. - j f After eighteen days of rest and recuper- j ation we are again at our post of duty, and feel,greatly benefited by our trip. We spent the greater portion of our vacation with an Uncle's family, who reside in Pleasant Valley, Murray. County, Ga., at the base of the Cohutta Mountains and a few miles from the Tennessee line. There were many pleasant incidents connected with our trip, and if time and space per? mitted.us we could write a column or two about it. Pleasant Vallby Is one of tbe best farming sections of North Georgia, and fine cotton is grown there. Murray County has many undeveloped resources, and the only thing it needs is a railroad and a little more capital. The climate 1b fine, and the pure, cold limestone water is very healthful. We spent a few days at the famous old Cohutta Springs, which were first discovered years ago by the In? dians, who would resort tbere to be enred of their diseases. These Springs consist of a half dozen or more in number, .each of whioh contains different mineral quali? ties. They all flow from the mountain side. The place is most beautiful and ro? mantic, and is visited every summer by crowds of health seekers. The property was formerly owned by Hon. Joe Brown, of Georgia, and has not been improved very much. A Company, composed of j citizens of Dalton and Spring Place, have recently purchased the property and pro? pose next year to improve it. The water oenefiledugggjid our only regret is that oursta^there was limited. We shall ever J^asback to the trip with the most pleas Tnt recollections. A Word to Voter?. By reference to another oolumn it will be seen that the following gentlemen are announced in this paper as candidates to the September Nominating Convention: E. B. Murray, A. H. McGee, J. M. Cox, H. R. Vandiver, . J. W. Clement, W. B. Quails, G. W. Sullivan, Wm. Bailey, W. H. Rodgers, P. B. Allen, - W. P. Cook, T. C. Shearer. In the same column the following gen? tlemen are announced as candidates for the Legislature: L. E. Campbell. W. P. Wright, . S. L. Eskew, John C. Gantt, George E. Prince. In the saroo column you will find the names of other gentlemen who' are an? nounced for various offices. We take pleasure in calling the atten? tion of our readers to a careful perusal of this column. It contains the names of | gentlemeii known throughout tbe Coun? ty to be good men and true and worthy of j the confidence of all men. As friends and citizens and officers they stand before their fellow-citizens without reproach, and are proud to ask the votes of the men of Anderson, for they know that if j entrusted with the honors and responsi? bilities sought they will discbarge their duties with credit to themselves and with fidelity and to the best interests of An? derson County, i Death of Mr. h. K. Sullivan. It was with tbe deepest sorrow that the announcement of tbe death of Mr. Hew? lett Sullivan was heard by our people last Wednesday. For several days he had lain in a critical condition, and loving friends and faithful physicians were doing all that lay in human power for tbe sufferer, and his friends everywhere sincerely trusted that he would be restored to health and strength. But tbe years of his life had been numbered, and at about noon on the 17th inst. his spirit took its flight to Him who made it. Hewlett Kelley Sullivan was born in Walhalla, S. C, on the Hth day of March, 1861, and was the son of the late Capt. N. K. Sullivan and Mrs. Emily K. Sullivos, who survives him. Some weeks since, soon after returning from a business trip to tho country, Mr. Sullivan was attacked by malarial fever, but bis condition was not regarded as se? rious until a few days before his death, when peritonUis set in, and proved fatal within a short time. The funeral services took place on the evening of the 18th and wero conducted by the Rev. Charles Manly, D. D., in the ?Baptist Church. Messrs. J. R. Vandiver, R. S. Ligon, F. T. Wilhite, John M. Hub bard, Dr. A. C. Strickland, Messrs. J. F. Brown, G. E. Brown and S. D. Brownleo acted as pall bearers. ? The business houses of the city closed I during the funeral ceromonies and a I large concourse of people assembled at the Church as a mark of respect for their dead friend. When the services in the Church were completed the body was tenderly remov? ed to the Silver Brook Cemetery and placed! in the grave while hearts ached and tears were shed in sorrow for him who was loved in life and in death would be mourned. The early childhood of the deceased was spent on the farm of his maternal grandmother, seven miles South of Au-1 derson, where the family resided while his father was in the Confederate Army. After the war was over the family took np their residence in this city, and the subject of this notice was soon after sent to Prof. W. J. Ligott's school, whero he received a thorough training^ from that distinguished teacher. At an early age he entered a mercantile life and in a few yean became a partner with his brother, Jas. M. Sullivan, in the hardware and machinery business, 3nd which is now known as the Sullivan Hardware Co., Mr. N. B. Sullivan, a younger brother, becoming a member of tho firm in 1878. Mr. Sullivan had formod an extensive acquaintance in this State and Georgia, and boing the travelling representative of his firm, was instrumentalinbuilding up a largo hardware and machinery trade abroad as well as at home. His high bus? iness qualifications, untiring energy, and thorough knowledge of tho trado in which ho was engaged, soon attracted the attention of some of the largest machine? ry and implement manufacturers in this country and often, when his engagements at home would permit, Mr. Sullivan was employed by them upon importaut mis? sions. On one occasion he was engaged to look after the affairs of a large Manu? facturer in all tho principal Western , cities, including the Pacific slope. This same firm was so well pleased with his services that tney soon arranged for him to represent them and take charge of their exhibit 6t tho World's Fair in Chi? cago in lSUo. Mr. Sullivan united with tho Anderson Baptist Church about three yoarsago un? der tho preaching of the Rev. Mr. Pearson, and was active and faithful in the dis? charge of his religious duties. His last moments bore evidence of his undying faith in tho Lord. His widow, a daughter of the late J. L. Brock, of Honea Path, S. C, and four children survive him. j'r.". C. C. Curamings desires to inform her friends and patrons that she will be nt home this coming season, where Bhe will be pleased to serve the Indies in dress? making. She uses the New York and French styles, and guarantees satisfaction in cutting and fitting as well ai prices. Residence on McCully Street. H?nea Path Items.

Friends and patrons of the School can obtain catalogues by applying to the principal, J. B. Watkins, or by calk? ing for one at the post-office.

At that tithe seats will be arranged and studies assign? ed, so that the regular work Of the School ' may begin bh the thorning of August 3d. R&v. L.

They will hold their meeting here Saturday, September 3. Mn,G? .Mt.Gr.eef ah<J fhmily nave been on f\ trip to the mountains'. . Honea Path-"has been ontertainiug a large number of visitors for the last week or two. Miss Lela Moore is visiting relatives near Greenwood. Two or three from here attended the po? litical meeting at Donnaldsvilie last Wed? nesday and several tbe Lovers' party that night. Mr. C. E. Hat per has torn down the Dr. Gautt house and is going to rebuild i t on bis plantation. Mr. Cannon Moore, of Princeton, is go? ing to Clerk for Mr. J. W- Brock. We un? derstand that be will live in the Call.: ham house. We think that the people hereof both factions regard tbe attack on Maj. Murray as au outrage? A few at first condemned him forgoing on the ground ; that it was a Tillman meeting; but after finding that it was a County campaign meeting we think that all here agree that he bad a perfect right to go. . On last Sunday night, a few miles &bove here, one negro shot and severely, but not dangerously, wounded another. From what we can learn he was perfectly justifi? able in the shooting. On last Saturday Mr. C. E. Harper bad a mule badly injured by being cut with a paling while jumping the lot fence. We understand that Shady Grove Church has called Rev. R. J. Williams to take tbe place of Rev. L. M. Rice, who will leave for tbe seminary in September or October. I Rev. M. McGee's people are now enjoy? ing rides in a nice new phaeton. Miss Alma Brock was thrown from a boggy a few days ago and somewhat bruised, but received no serious injury. ? * Needle's Newell News. I havn't got time to give yon the news in full, but will drop in for a moment to let you know that I am still for Sheppard and Orr. This leaves everything calm and serene in the Newell section. We have had sev? eral good little showers of rain since my last communication, but would not object ,to a good big little gully washer just now. Our crops are pretty good, but we wish that they were better. Tbe finest water I melons that I have seen this season were grown by Mr. W. A. Tripp of this vicinity. I am by several of the candidates that spoke at Mountain Spring on the 15th like the old gentleman was by his hounds when they were running a polecat;. He said that he gloried in their spunk, but ;.d-n their judgment. Now, then, a few words about the M. S. j D. S. and I will leave the subject with you. 8omotime ago the Piedmont Deba'ting I Society challenged the Mountain Springs Debating Society for a joint debate on any subject that they might select. Tho chal? lenge was of course accepted, and as it suited the Piedmont boys best tbe Moun? tain Springs Debating Society agreed to meet them in the Academy at Piedmont the ?econd Saturday night ia this month. Sure enough, when tbe second Saturday nigh; rolled around the boys all met in the Academy promptly at 8 o'clock. After extending to the speakers of the Mountain Springs Debating Society the hand of welcome, General Smith got up, stated the subject for discussion, and in very elo? quent terms announced that the hour had arrived for a joint debars to commence between them and tbe Mountain Springs Debating Society. Tbe subject discussed was, "Was George Washington a greater man than Christopher Columbus ?" Botb sides, of the question were handled in an able and eloquent manner. John E. Wig ington, W. A. Tripp, James M. Smith, H. A Foster and James R. Sheriff, of the Mountain Springs Debating Society, rep? resented tbe affirmative. General Smith, Frank Alexander, Esq., R. M. Smith, Waiter Dunn and White Woodbanks, of the Piedmont Debating Society, repre? sented tbe negative. Tbe Commitvse. ren? dered the decision in favor of tbe affirma? tive side. There will be a joint debate at Mountain Springs in the near future be? tween the two above named Societies. Tbe ladies of this and surroundicg com? munities will please bear in mind that they are cordially invited to attend the Mountain Springs Debating Society tbe first Saturday of each month. Ned Needle. Belton Items. Mr. H. H. Smith and wife, who have been visiting for sometime at Rev. J. T. Smith's, have gone to visit relatives in Groenville County. Rev. J. T. Smith is off preaching again this week. Mr. G. E. McGee, a former townsman, but now a resident of Chattanooga, Tenn., is visiting his father's family. His many friends in Belton are glad to see him looking so hearty. Mrs. C. McGee, of Greenwood, is up on a short visit to relatives. We noticed Messrs. Walter Brock, Clarence Osborne, and P. Clinkscales on our streets last Sunday; the too first from Anderson and tho last from the country. Mr. Waller Geer from Anderson is down on another short visit to relatives. Miss Odione, of Florence, is visiting Mrs. J. C. Harris. Miss Mamie Kay of the County is on a short visit to Miss Fannie Horton. Mrs. Hattie Todd, of Augusta, is in Bolton. Her many friends in her old home are exceedingly glad to seo her among us again. The young people of our town .^pont a few very pleasant hours at the residence ofMr.J. E. Horton at a social gathering laiit Friday evening. Miss Eva Stringer and Mrs. R. A. Lewis left Tuosday for a trip via Atlanta to Cincinnati, St. Louis, Detroit, points in Canada, Niagara Falls and Now York and other points in the North. They will accompany Miss Lizzie Williams of An? derson and probably some other ladies. Their friends wish them a pleasant trip. Doath has again invaded our little town. This time the dread summons came to Mrs. E. W. Thompson, who passed quietly away on Saturday at 12.30 o'clock, after a short illness of 10 days. Four or five years ago sho was happily married. She has been a consistent member of the Baptist church for a num? ber of years, and at the time of hor death was a mom bor of the church at this placo. She leaves a husband and two little chil? dren, with a large number of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. I lor re? mains were interred in the cemetery at this placo on Sunday afternoon after appropriate services conducted by Rev. C. Manly. The people of our town warmly sympathise with tho bereaved ones in their doop sorrow. * *. To Friends of Prohibition. Mr. Editor : i am requestor! to ap? point at each precinct in this County com? mittees of from throe to Hvo to work on the day of election, rallying prohibition voters and seeing that their votes are put in the right box, take charge of the dis? tribution of prohibition tickets und solicit voters for the same, independent of any political bias. As I do not know who these fi lends are throughout tho County that would be willing to work, I hereby earrie.-tly re? quest all friends of temperance at each procinct to resolve themselves mto com? mittees to work for this cause, provide in? dependent boxes for tbe same and solicit votes, count them out and report rosult to me or L. D. Childs, Columbia, S C. All friends interested please call on rae for tickets in Andersou. which will he furnished me for distribution. Please be zealous in this attention. B. F. Browe, Chairman for this County. Kicker Again. Messrs. FoiTons: Have mercy on us! The new City Fathers have bnmn to put red clay on the streets for nest winter's mud. Kickeb Cedar Grove Itomi. We have kept silent for awhile and everything seems to be still in this section. People have stopped talking politics for a few days and have been engaged in a re ligiotu meeting, which has done more gbpd than all thd political meetings. But; Mi. Editor* the subscribers to your paper desire me' to give Some of. the par? ticulars of the campaign meeting held hers bh thd 8th of August. The Citizens eipe?tod Just td have' a little pic nlc on that day, but the Ctitihty Cartipalg? Com? mittee saw fit to appoint a meeting here on that day. Very soon in the morning the people began to come in from every quarter, and by 11 o'clock there were about 4,000 people gathered. Up to that time everything seemed to be a success. Tne crowd was composed of some as good people as the County affords, and some very reckless wero there, too- About 11 o'clock Mr. Ei B. Murray oatne on tho grounds. He Was told to leave, as you bavo all before seen In every paper, and was made to leave, as you all know, and used in a very rough way. This the good citiiienB condemn. Hefe is what we wish to rectify: We saw in the Columbia Reg? ister of the llth inst; that Mr. J. Jj Cooley said the Cedar Grove people wish all the blame of mobbing Mr. Murray to be sad died on tb?m^th?t they were willing to Hoar it. Mr. Cooley states that the Cedar (Irbva folks had a Cotrimittee; of which he was Chairman. that did all. the arranging tor the day. If there was stich a C?mnllt tee. the Cedar Grove people did not know it Mr. Cooley introduced tbe speakers, but the Cedar Grove folks did not know who gave bim the authority. Mr. Copley is a citizen of Williamston. He does not live in Cedar Grove community, and the people of thir section don't wish' him to lay this ajfc ,theuV doors: Jar. Murray will toll you himself that there was not a Cedar Grove person in the crowd, and I wish to say the Cedar Grove folks did not hold with it all, and Mr. Cooley took the wrong step when he said the Cedar Grove folks wonld take all the blame or any part of it. Gbit. Mb. Editor: It becomes our duty by request of the Cedar Grove people, as well as a duty that we owe to this com? munity, aDd it is your duty to publish it, to say that we, the Cedar Grove people, have been slandered by the public press. What we wish to correct is an article that appeared in tbe Columbia Register, written by John J. Cooley. He said he was Chairman of'that meeting, tbat tbe Cedar Grove people had fixed the stand for a Tillman meeting on the land of Hugh MahafiTey, that it was dedicated for that purpose and that they had a right to say who should come on the ground. He furtbbr said that the Cedat Grovo people were willing to bear all the blame for the treatment Mr. Murray received while there. Now, Mr. Editor, we want it under stood that we are willing to bear no part of it. Mr. Cooley is a citizen of William? ston and he has spoken no part of the sentiment of the Cedar Grove people. The Cedar Grove people were to have had a Tillman picnio on that day, but af? ter the campaign meeting was set for that day, we agreed to have the County cam? paign meeting here ani prepared the place for that purpose. The ground be? longed to Mr. Asa Mabaffey, but he was absent in Laurens and bis son, Hugh Mabaffey, gave permission to have the stand put there. If we, the Cedar Grove people, had treated Mr. Murray as he was treated, we would uot be afraid to own it. Nobody condemns the way he was treated more than we do. We wish Mr. Cooley would point out the citizens in this section who are willing to bear any of the blame. We are your humble servant, Grit No. 2. Eureka Items. , It has been six weeks to-morrow (Thursday) night since we had anything like a good rain, so of course we are a lit? tle dry. Misses Claudia Prevost and Jeanette Austin, of Anderson and Williamston, re? spectively, have been visiting Miss Russia Breazeale recently. Mr. Alonzo Keown has been among us recently visiting his parents. Mr. Eeown is now residing in Atbeus, Ga., where he is engaged in the livery business. We wish bim much success in his adopted home. Mr. J. Bob. Kay, of Walhalla, accom? panied by his mother and younger brother, delighted their friends and rela? tives around Eureka, by their presence last Saturday and Sunday. They for? merly were residents of this section, but moved to Walhalla several years ago. Our social cirole has been greatly im? proved i t the last week by the following visitors: Mies Nannie Poole and Llllia Lewis, of Midway; Misses Anna and Maggie Grubbs, of Belton; Miss Ninnie Stevenson, J. E. and W. S. Stevenson, of Mt. Creek. The Conservatives of Broadaway Town? ship met at Eureka Friday evening, the 12th inst., and organized a Sheppard and Orr Campaign Club, electing Mr. J. P. Vandiver as President. The meeting was an enthusiastic one and largely attended. The roll was greatly increased at the last meeting, and several more to hear from. Let every one in sympathy with the Con? servatives turn out next Friday evening at four o'clock. Don't forget tbe time. It was real amusing on Saturday, 13th inst., to hear the boys hurrahing for their boss. Yelling for the man who spent tax money for his own personal uses, in? stead of using it on the executive mansion as be should have done. Praising a man who wishes to rob tbem of tbe right to vote because they can't read, or don't own a certain amount of property, yet he poses before the country as the poor man's friend; a man who fights corporations, yet used an express, frank and rode on a free pass as long as the laws of the coun? try allowed him; a man who lost them over one hundred thousand dollars by his mismanagement; a man who was low enough to try to excuse his own disgrace ful record by nosing around and trying to find out something against Gov.

L. 0tE*?f, Sec. Ex. Com. A Reply to "Observer." EdiTORS Intelligencer : "Observer," by his article-to tbe Advocate of Monday, has laid himself liable to tbe Charge of dense ignorance, and we fear the Advocate has insulted him, by heading the article "Observer defends tue Cedar Grove1 af? fair." But "Observer" may hdve intended to defend the affair. It Is hard to Bee what he does intend. He has either in? tentionally, or otherwise grossly, misrep? resented things in general. He begins his display of ignorance by saying Maj. Mur? ray had no right at Cedar Grove. We beg to refer him to the proceedings of the County Executive Committee in appoint? ing the County campaign meetings. He will find by reference to this that all County candidates were invited to attend and present tbeir views to the people whose suffrage they desire. Maj. Murray is a candidate for delegate to the Septem? ber nominating convention, and for that reason had a perfect right to speak. He finds fault with the time of his arrival at tbe meeting, By reference to the article mentioned above he will see that candi? dates were not compelled to be present at tbe beginning of the meeting. He speaks of the Benet affair in Abbe? ville as similar to the Murray affair at Cedar Grove; Ignorance again! He does not know that the Benet affair was purely personal. He does cot know that some of Benet's political opponents prevented Mr. McGowan from hitting a clear right handed blow, and that it was these same political opponents who prevented Mr. McG. from going further. Oh! what a pity "Observer" could not collect at least two or three facts to write about. How beautifully he shows himseif to be a fol? lower of the "infallible Ben 1" Such ex? pressions as "blocks of five," ,fring rule," &c, taken from Ben. show bow he stands without getting to any straight de? clarations as to his position. He ends by saying: "Brother farmers be men and don't be carried away by argument." What advice! Don't be carried away by argument. I think he would like now to recall that part at least of his article. Argument is tbe thing to sway tbe minds of men, cot "blowing and bluff." I suppose he would like all men to be ig? norant as he certainly seems to be. There is an old and sometimes a true saying': "Ignorance is bliss," and we think "Ob? server" must be very happy. C. Card of Thanks. I desire, through your valuable col? umns, to thank the people of Belton for the many kindneaseB shown me during my recent bereavement, and I would thank them also for the many warm words of sympathy.

A weak man may excite tbeir sympathy and a woman's careful tenderness soothe and soften the anguinb of a weak man's soul, but tho laughing, joyous, warm, exuberant love of woman dear, belongs to the men that are strong and noble and kind. Then why will a man continuo weak, and moan and peovish ? An old gentleman writes: "B. B. B. gives me new life and strength. If there is anything that will make an old man young, it is B. B. B." Somo men say, and women too, they never feel weak and mean oxcept in tho spring. Why then feel weak and mean and nervous and prostrated in the spring time when life and spirit awakens with thrilling buoyancy eyen the vegetable world ? Must you allow sluggish blood, inactive organic functions, rusty joints and general weakness to mako your life miserable simply because the long winter has restrained your natural activity ?
