The Patrick Military Institute will open its fall session on 14th September, as will be seen by referring to an advertisement in another column.

We bad the pleasure of meetfng Mr. A. W. Todd, of Angusta. Ga., in the city on Monday. He had. been up visiting his family, who are spending a few weeks with relatives in the County.

C, offers the services of his fine Spanish Jack, and has a fine Jersey Bed boar for sale. See his adver? tisement in another column. Mr. Bowen keeps nothing but the best quality of stock, and is doing a good work in en? couraging the farmers to raise'their own stock. We hope to visit the Rivoli Stoak farm in the near future and tell the readers of the Intelligences something about it. Tbe Baptist Courier says : "The friends of Rev. w. H. Strickland will be pleased to learn that tbe grand jury has again failed to find a bill against him on tbe charge of involuntry manslaughter, in the case of tbe little boy who it wap charged died from, a whipping administered by Bro. Strickland, his school teacher. The case was twice before tbe grand jury, and both times they returned "no bill." We are glad that the case in ended, and that Bro. Strickland has been vindicated." Miss Bertie Cunningham, who has been a resident of Lancaster, S. C, the past twelve months, has been spending a week or more at home with hur fathers family. She has recently accepted the important position of type writer and stenographer with the American Powder Company in tbe City of Mexico, and will leave Ander? son to-morrow afternoon for Mexico.

Tsoong (whose name in English in Goo. H. Bell), a young China? man who is prosecuting his studies at Emory College, Ga., in preparation for missionary work in his own land, deliv? ered an interesting lecture in the Metho? dist Church last Sunday night. The other city Churches being closed, tbe Church was crowded to its utmost capacity. The lecturer gave an account of tbe customs, habits, etc., of his people, and made a touching appeal in behalf of the mission? ary cause. Mr. Bell is from Shanghai, and came to the United States last Christ? mas. It will take him three years to complete his course at Emory College. Mr. Jamea L. Mellette, a young man about 23 years of age, died at Mr. E. P. McAdam's boarding house, on North Main street, Tuesday afternoon, at 1 o'clock. He was sick about two weeks, and his disease was rather complicated. Mr. Mellette was a brickmason, and came to Anderson Aast fall from Fort Hill when work was suspended at Clemson College. He has been in tbe employ of Mr. J. L. Byxum, and during his sickness received ; all the attention possible from his friends.! It is supposed Mr. Mellette is a native of Reidsville, N. C, and Mr. Mo Adams sent a telegram there announcing his death. Telegrams were sent also to other places, and if no information is received, there mains will be interred in Silver Brook Cemetery this afternoon. The Greenville News, of Sunday, says: "An excursion train of colored people, who filled nine coaches arrived here yes? terday morning at 9 o'clock from Ander? son. A brass band was brought along and martial music filled the air. The streets were-crowded with colored people. The excursion returned at 7 o'olock in the afternoon. The round trip fare was only 50 cents. The colored ball team of An? derson and the team of this city, Ed. Da? vis, captain, played a game of ball on the show grounds at 11 o'clock. Tbe two teams marched to the grounds to a varie? ty of noises and tunes, the Anderson band and Sargeaot Mingo White and his drum corps lurnishing the musio and noises. The Greenville team defeated their opponents by a score of 13 to 3." The first excursion to Tallulah by Mr. Luther P.. Smith was in every sense a real and genuine success, but not more so than the second, which took place last Friday. The train run from Hodges, taking on excursionists from Donnaldsville, Due West, Honea Patb, Beiton, Williamston, Pelzer, Anderson, Denver, Pendleton and Seneca. The coaches were crowded, which was tbe only thing that in any way marred the comfort and pleasure of the party, for the weather was all that could be wished for the 26th of August. It is thought; that four hundred people were on board. The conduct and behav? ior oHhe excursionists were exemplary in w respect, with only one or two exd jub. The train rolled up to the depot at Tallulah Falls about J2 o'olock, and left at 6.30, spending more than six hours there. Those who went on both excursions, and there were not a few of' them, say they enjoyed the second more than tbe first. The reason for this was that they they were better prepared to ap? preciate the grand scenery, having seen it and having an idea of what it wan, which only those who see it can have. We wish to repeat what we said before, that tbe scenery is grand and indescribable, and when you have seen it you will wonder why you have lived so long so near such grandeurs of nature without having seen them sooner. Tbe people are under obli? gations to Mr. Smith for his kindness, and they appreciate what he has done in helping them to see the grandest spot in the South. Tbe Methodist preachers of the County and one delegate from each of their Sun? day Schools will meet nt Pendleton next Friday and Saturday, September 2nd and 3rd, and organize a County Sunday 8chool Conference. Revs. S. H. Zimmerman, C. B. Smith and J. D. Crout will preach during the meeting on subjects appropri? ate to Sunday School work. On Friday there will be addresses and discussions on benefits of County Sunday School Con? ferences, how to get old and young to the Sonday School, and qualifications of Su? perintendents and teachers. On Saturday tbe discussions will be on aim of Sunday School work, bow to secure conversions in tbe Sunday School, training child CbrhUians, and on other questions. The question box will be used. We wish our friends a good time. Mr. Ernest Cochrau was approached yesterday and his attention called to the correspondence from Honea Path in the Greenville News of the same day con? necting him with the trouble at Honea Path about tbe delivery of tb? Sunday mails, and tbe appointment of a colored Postmaster. Mr. Cocbran was very much surprised at the correspondence, and his statement was as follows: "The statement in the News Is incorrect. I have never been employed by either side in the con? troversy about the delivery of Sunday mails at Honea Path. Some time ago several merchants of Honea Path asked me to give an opinion, as Assistant U. S. Attorney, as to whether a Postmaster could be compelled to open and deliver tbe mails on Sunday. My reply was that in my opinion a Postmaster could not be compelled to open and to deliver the mails on Sunday, unless such opening and delivery should be deemed necessary by the Postoffice Department, and if they wished their mails delivered on Sunday their proper course was to pe? tition the'Postoffice Department. If any petition was forwarded it was not for? warded through me. As to a colored man being appointed Postmaster at Honea Path, I will say that I knew nothing of it until I saw in the Greenville News of yes? terday. I have certainly had nothing to do with any appointment that may be made there." Oscar B. Young Slain. Trial Justice S. N. Browne, acting Cor? oner, held an inquest on the dead body of Oscar B. Young, on August 27th, at the house of the parents of the dead man in Pendleton Township. The testimony of W. S. Young and Mrs. Mary E. Young, the parents of Os? car, S- J. Reddy and J. F. Harris, was substantially as follows: Between 11 and 12 o'clock on Thursday, 25th August, Keels Cumminga, colored, went to Mr. Young's house and called for some one to go to him. Oscar young went out and it is supposed he ordered tbe ne? gro to go away. In a few moments sev? eral pistol shots were fired. Young went into the house and said he was shot, and the negro walked off. A ball had hit Oscar Young just above the left hip and penetrated to the skin over his stomach. The wounded man died the next day. The following Jury heard the case: G. E. Jacks, Ed. Bowman, J. W. Poore, E. H. Gambrell, J. W. Gambrell, David Wil? liams, Joe Williams, J. T. Cann, Tom Patterson, M. C. Horton, M. B Horton and Joe Moore, and returned tho follow? ing verdict: "Oscar B. Young came to his death from a pistol or gunshot wound, said pistol or gun was fired by Keels Cam Klings, and that Joe Weston and Ged Jack ton were accessories before the fact." Drs. Watkins and Pickens, of Pendle? ton, conducted the post mortem examina? tion. Weston and Jackson, the accessories, have been arrested and are in Jail. ' Oscar B. Young was about 22 years of age, and was on a visit to his parents from Texas, and would have returned to his far distant home in a few days. Garswall Imtitnte. Almost all of our neighbors are for Till man, but we can still say, "Hurrah for Sfaeppard." 'Tis now but four days until the election, and won't we all be glad when it is over?except the defeated can? didates. I expect some of them will think, "Well, I thought the people held me in a higher light than they do." But we did not intend to write on poli? tics. If we had, we would have taken tbe $3 poll tax, the proposed County Govern? ment Bill, the intended or rather wished for Constitutional Convention, the quali? fications desired for voters, or some such subject as that But ..a have more im? portant subjeets to demand our attention, such as pulling of fodder, which, by-the way , is very much interrupted by showers now. In faot the frequency of the show? ers at this time -r:~".Is the proverbial ones of April. Our crops are turning out very well, a ad we feel that if Till man is elected we can still get along. This is the best "Re? form Movement" we farmers can make, any way. Reform from our old way of half farming, and proceed by industry arid judgment to make bigger crops with less cost. Besides the candidates, we have no vis? itors to our community to record, but we say people missed a great deal by not com? ing. Several of our young men are intend? ing to go out this fall and broaden their minds still further in other schools. That's right, young men, be not content with ordinary learning. Ignorance is at a great discount now. You will always fiud it is best to be with those who "drink deeply of the Pierian spring." That makes us think that our school closes its session next Friday, 2nd Septem? ber. We have have had a pretty flourish? ing school, and we feel that considerable advancement has been made by the pu? pils. There will be public exercises on last day, to which every one is invited. Oar teacher has intimated that ho will not bo able to serve us for another session, consequently we are on the look out for some good man. Cotton is now beginning to open, and it will not be long ere our gins will be run? ning. We have not as much cotton acre? age this year as usual. Our farmers have at last begun to raise something to eat at home, even if it be nothing more than scrghum. We have seen at least a half dozen evaporators pass our place of abode in the last week or two. Now if we would jest go to raising our "hog and hominy" along with our molasses, we would soon become prosperous, governor or no gov? ernor. Let'b all get up three or four pigs aud fatten them for Christmas, then we'll have ieform, and oftbat kind that brings uh meat, Now, if you will just think over this reform movement of ours and carry it out, you will greatly please Quid Nunc. Needle's Newell News. From the way everything looks this morning this is going to be a busy, newsy Wiek. The happenings that have transpired in and around Newell since my last commu? nication are numerous and varied, but I haven't got time to write them up. The Postmaster tells me that the mail is due at this place now in a few minutes. I write this time merely to let the good people know that there will be a joint debate at Mountain Springs between the Piedmont Debating Society and the Mountain Springs Debating Society the first Saturday night in September. The Piedmont De? bating Society selected the Bubject, which is, "Which points the most to a Supreme Being, revelation or the works of nature ?" They have the affirmative, and Mountain Springs tbe negative. The Piedmont brass band is expected to be on band; aho all the pretty girls of this and sur? rounding communities. I have been required to announce that there will be preaching at Mountain Springs Friday night, commencing at 8 o'clock ; also Saturday evening commenc? ing at 4 o'clock. [ noticed in the Advocate last week a letter from "Don Lino." Don writes up what I suppose he considered a "reply" to my letter, which appeared in the intel? ligencer August the 3rd. "Don" is, I am glad to say, improving, but; he still makes some fearful blunders, and tries to flatten me on the soap buainens. He says that I will have a large trade on my soap with the Conservatives after the eleotion. In this he ia sadly mistaken, for the prin? ciples of the Sheppardites are like the rays of light?always clean, Ned Needle. A Card. Ho.iba Path, S. C, Aug. 23, 1892. Editors Intelligencer : %t is reported that I said that "no one hut Radicals and. negroes were at tbe Cedar Grove meeting on Au? gust 8th." 1 pronounce the report as a mE.liclous falsehood, without any founda? tion, whatever, as I made no such remark nor anything that could be construed as such. Respectfully, Asiu Cox. School.?Miss Kate Cornish. Baptist Parsonage, 57 Manning St. English and French. Opens September 5th. 8h>loh Paff?. I have just gotten back from a trip to North Carolina, where I have been spend? ing tbe last three weeks. I spent the time enjoying myself going to pic nics and leap year parties. There was a party about two miles from where I was staying. Tbe girls came for the boys in wagons and ox carts. I had the pleasure of riding in an ox cart with one of tbe fairest moun? tain damsels you ever saw. Tbe moon bad just climbed over turkey ridge when we wended our way slowly to the resi? dence of Josiah Turablin. Then fun be? gan, which consisted in playing steal part? ners, swapping, round dancing and every? thing else in tbe frc licking line. The sup? per cannot be described. It was a good old-fashioned corn-sbucking supper. I did justice to tbe occasion, and it was a time that I will ever look back to with the fondest memories. Mr. W. F. Lee is building an addition to bis bouse, which adds greatly to the ap? pearance, i While I was absent some one wrote up tbe news and gave me a blowing up. Well, tbat is alright. Sister "Lu cile" seems to think I have a spite at a certain young man who comes around in these diggins and takes her riding very often, but such is not the case. I only wanted ber to make bay while the sun whines, for be is very timid and liable to jump off any time. Now, sister "L.," you need not be afraid I am trying to buck against him, (as tbe boys would say). I wouldn't cut him out if I could, for he is one of my best friends, and one of the nicest boys in tbe State. He is of ray type?a good old Sheppardite. You ac? cused me of not having a cotton crop, and havin;. a grass crop instead. Well, that is true, and I expect to sell your daddy bay next winter. I also have some of the finest cows you ever saw, and if you will inform me when the happy day arrives I will make you a present of one of my best Jerseys. I had a pleasant call from the girls not long ago. Miss Alice had tbe kindness to bring me a nice bonquet of flowers, for which accept my heartfelt gratitude. Call again, ladies. Hope you'll find my shanty again in disorder, as I can form a better opinion as to your ability to keep bouse. I hope "Lucile" will continue to give you the news, as this is the last time I can write. Business calls me away. KlLDEE. Once again I come to tell you the newB, Mr. Editor, but I don't know what to write about, as "Kildee" has 'exhausted every Bubject on courting. I will try to give you facts, with a joke interspersed to keep the boys in a good humor. At this writing the clouds are lowering, and it now looks as if it was going to rain at last Crops are not very good in this section. I don't think we will make more tban a half crop. The Sunday School at this place is in fine order, and is doing good for tbe Lord. Prof. Edward King is our Superinten? dent, and anything placed in his hands is assured of success. Making sorghum and pulling fodder is bow the order of tbe day. Every kid tbat Is knee high will be called out to help in the fields. They will lay aside books and slates with sadness and despair. Ah! well do I remember when I was called away from school to Ehoulder a hamper basket, while the one I loved best trudged on to school and tears flowed from tbe pretty brown eyes. I was so affected by tbe sight that I fell down in a cotton middle and bleated louder and longer than Tollman's goat is doing now. The boys have a new way of singing shortening br^ad. Here is one verse : Morgan Pack hollered, Josh Ashley squalled, and Belt Watson made for the hotel wall. Our young friend Jake wanted to go and see the girls, but didn't know how to be? gin a conversation. So he went to bis mother for his first lesson. She, laugh? ingly, told him to say something sweet and soft. He rigged up and emigrated to where he thought the best looking mai? den lived and went in to where the young lady was sewing, and, siding up to her, blurted out "molassesand mashed taters." Ask Miss M-; she can tell you all about it. I witnessed a very comical sight last Sunday. I saw something which I took for a reaping machine coming up the road, and on nearer approach it was dis? covered to be "Kildee" and his best girl. The outfit was what amused me?they were driving a donkey to a wheel barrow. '_Lucile. Anderionvllle Itemi. It has been some time since we sent the Intelligences the news from this place. This section has been visited by a good season the last week. The crops have suf? fered considerable from the drouth. Cot? ton is cut off fully one-Half. The corn crop is very promising. Miss Fannie Earle has returned to her old home at this place, and will perhaps remain through the fall and winter. We gladly welcome her back in our midst. Miss Lillie Warren, an accomplished young lady of Pendleton, is visiting rela? tives at this place. ' Ir. F. E. Harrison and wife, of Abbe? ville, visited this place (tbe Doctor's old home) this week. We hope bis visit was a pleasant one. We spent a week with relatives and friends in Georgia recently, and took in tbe singing school taught by Prof. F. M. Holbrook and bis accomplished sister, Miss Katie, and we must say the good people of Eeed Creek are to be congratu? lated in securing such a competent teacher. We also attended the funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Avery, wife of Key. Asa Avery, who was called .to her long home on Saturday, the 6th, after a prolonged ill? ness. Mrs. Avery is well known by many i of our people.. She was the daughter of I Mr. Jonathan Weldon. The bereaved husband and little children have tbe sympathy of all tbe people in this section. The protracted meeting began on the, 2nd Sunday and closed the 3rd, with seven additions to the Church. The pas? tor, Mr. Estes, was ably assisted by the Revs. McLesky and Morrison. The many friends of Dr. Thos. P. Har? rison were glad to see him in our midst. He was accompanied by his little brother, Wade. Mr. W. J. Reed is building a handsome cottage. Mr. J. D. Atkins bad the misfortune to lose all tbe borse he had a lew days ago. Such a loss falls heavy on a poor man. Waco. Townville Locals.

Mr. Walter Wright, of this place, will go to Baltimore tbe 15th of September for tbe purpose of taking a medical course. A Mr. Young, living over Seneca River, was killed by a negro the other day. We did not learn tbe particulars, but from what we learn the negro shot Mr. Young without any provocation. Mr. Young was a fine looking man, and on a visit from Texas to bis father's. Rev. J. R.

Fell asleep in Jesus August 14th, 1892, Mrs. Happy Welborn, wife of Col. W. E. Welborn, of this county. Sho was born April 27th, 1820, in Anderson county, be? ing a daughter of tho late Matthias Rich? ardson, a well known citizen of that sec? tion. She was married to Col. Welborn December 1st, 1830. She died at a good old age (being 72) surrounded by loving friends and relatives. She leaves to mourn their irreparable loss a husband, ten living children, forty-seven grand children and thirty great grand children. She joined the church militant at the early ago of twelve years, and had there? fore served under tho banner of Christ for throe score years, when she was per? mitted to triumphantly enter the city of eternal rest. She was interred at Liberty church in tho presonco of a groat number of friends nud relatives, eight of her sur? viving children being present. Hers has been a life of usefulness, of duties well performed, and well might sho say with Paul: "I havo fought a good light I have finished my course, I have kept the iaith ; henceforth there is laid up forme a crown of righteousness which the Lord the righteous Judge shall give me at that day."

Last Sunday the following resolutions were adopted by tbe Sunday School of the First Baptist Church of this city on the death of H. K. 8ullivan: Whereas, It has pleased our Heavenly Father to remove from our midst Brother Hewlett K. Sullivan; and, whereas we, the members of the Sunday School of the First Baptist Church of Anderson, S. C, desire to give expression to our sense of the loss sustained by the school in the death of Brother Sullivan ; and, whereas, we wish, to put on record our appreciation of the sterling worth and Christian char? acter of our deceased brother, as also to express our deep sorrow at his untimely deatb. Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That in tbe death of Brother H. K. Sullivan our Sunday School has lost one of its most faithful scholars ; one wbo was ready at all times with generous heart and open hand to respond to the calls of whatever character this school or bis Church made upon him. That tbe Church has lost a zealous and consistent member, the community an upright, pub? lic-spirited citizen, and tbe home circle a devoted husband and an affectionate father. Resolved, That we bow in hnmble sub? mission to the will of Him who "doeth all things well," and in this dispensation of Providence we sorrow not as they who have no hope, for "when God's finger touched him and he slept," we have the sweet assurance that it was only to awake among the glorified spirits gathered in the home above. Resolved, That we tender to the bereaved family our deepest sy mpathy, and pi ay that God's richest blessings may ever rest upon them. Resolved, That a copy of these resolu? tions be sent to the family of our deceased Brother, and that they be published in the Baptist Courier and our County papers. Resolved, That as a token of our affec? tion and esteem for our Brother, his name and the date of his death be Inscribed in memoriam on a blank page of tbe Secre? tary's book. H. 8. Shumate, J. W. QUATTLEIiAUM, F. T. WlLHlTE, Committee, Sucfied In by a Whirlpool. Jacksonville, Fla., August 28.?A special to the Times- Union from Jennins says: A. T. Fields, the railroad station agent here, was drowned in Alopaha Elv? er this afternoon under peculiar circum? stances. He was bathing with a party of friends and got into a whirlpool and was instantly drawn under and drowned. The river at this point is full of eddies and rapids, and the waters are discharged through numerous subterranean passages into springs and sinks, some of them many milos distant. People confidently believe that the body will come to light in one of these sinks and watches are to be set at alLof them. Smaller Crops and Better Prices. Mr. Alfred B. Shepperson, who is one of the most intelli gent and reliablo cotton experts in the country, estimates the re? duction in acreage at 15 per cent, and in fertilizers, at 30 per cent, as compared with last year. With like seasons this would give us a crop of not more than 7,500,000 bales, but with unfavorable weather this estimate would be reduced, and the crop of this year is still subject to drawbacks. Let tbe facts of reduced acreage of 15 per cent, and of reduced fertilizers of 30 per cent?of which there no doubt in our minds?become impress? ed upon consumers at home and abroad, and a better tone and stiller prices will obtain. As Mr. Shepperson says a "re? duction in the new crop of 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 bales, as compared with the pre? vious crop, will cause a rapid disappear? ance of the present enormous stocks of cotton in all the markets of the world and result in the readjustment of prices upon a higher plane.?Augusta Chronicle.
