This week we publish an interview by the same writer with several maids on tbe same subject. Both interviews, we know, will be interesting to the many readers of the Intelligences. The Gray Court 'correspondent of the Greenville News, nn^er date of tbe 10th inst., saye: "W. Bro . us Ezell, of Wood? ruff, bou of the Rev. L. C. Ezell, and Miss Lillie L. Shumate, of Anderson, S.

We ask tbe attention of oar readers to the advertisement of the Mutual Benefit' Life Insurance Company, of Newark, N. J., which is represented in this city by Messrs. M. M. Mattison & Bro.

Mattison will take pleasure in giving you any in? formation concerning their Company. Every poor man, especially, should have his life insured in a good Company. The Gainesville (Ga.) Eagle, of last week, hns tbe following paragraph con? cerning a gentleman.who is well known in Anderson: "Rev. R. LT. Smith left with his family for Missouri yesterday, whither be has been called to do evangel? ical work by the officers of the Baptist Home Mission Board of that State. Mr. Smith and family carry with them the prayers and best wishes of hosts of friends in Georgia and South Carolina to their new home. This risiog young minister will no doubt come fully up to the highest expectations of those who have called him to so important a work." Mr. J. Preston Clinkscales died at the residence of his father, Mr. L. N. Clink scales, in Martin Township, last Saturday night at 10 o'clock. Mr. Clinkscales had long been afflicted with that ever fatal disease, consumption, and his death has been expected at aoy time during the last month. He was about 26 years of age, and had started life with every prospect of a happy and prosperous career. Two years ago be married Miss Stella Norris, who survives him. He was a worthy, industrious young man, and his death is deeply lamented by a host o' friends and relatives. On Monday his remains were laid to rest in the Rice graveyard. On Tuesday afternoon, at 2.30 o'clock, at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. Lizzie Cater, on Greenville Street, Miss Mattie P. Cater was united in mar? riage to Mr. Clarence E. Humphreys, of Pelzer. The ceremony was impressively Esrformed by Rev. D. E. FrierBon, D. D., i the presence of a number of friends of the happy couple. The attendants were Mr. 8- C. Humphreys, Jr., and Miss Lu? cia Cater, Mr. Lee Blake, of Pelzer, and Miss Alice Humphreys, Mr. W. R. Bur rlss and Miss Mary Bell Crawford, of Pendleton. Immediately after tbe cere? mony the bride and groom left for Pelzer, carrying with them the best wishes of their friends. One of the first callers tbe Intelligen? ces had Monday morning was our vener? able friend, Mr. Alfred Campbell, of the Bel ton section. Mr. Campbell is one of the oldest native born citizens of Ander? son County, being 82 years old. He was born six miles northeast of the city, near where his son, Col. L. E. Campbell now resides, and has always lived in the Coun? ty. He began life as a poor boy without a dollar, and having always "made his hog and hominy," is now in comfortable circumstances and is taking life easy in his old age. From his appearance one would not take him to be more than fifty Sears of age. He has few gray hairs in is head, and gets about with as much ease and energy as many men of half his years. The Intelligencer wishes Mr. Campbell many more years of health and happiness. The Athens (Ga.) correspondant of the Atlanta Constitution, under date of tho 7th inst., says: "If reports are correct there were some exceedingly stoamy times in Elbert County on election day at Ruckersville. There was a regular riot in which two negroes probably received fa? tal wounds, and two white men were seri? ously hurt. A gentleman from that vicinity hi in Athens to-day and tells tho following story: Joe Rucker, the third party leader at Ruckersville, had mar? shaled the negro contingent into his party in great force, bat when they reached the polls were inclined to go slow. The ne? groes were approached by a Democrat and asked to vote with the Democrats. This made Rucker very angry, and ho in? sulted the Demoorat that wes doing the electioneering and got knocked down for his reward. The negroes took up Ruck er'8 fight, and for a short time tbe pro i csedings were strikingly like nome of the campaign scenes in the County of Cork. Some eight or ten white men received bruises and cuts in the fray. Rucker then went to Elberton and began cursing the Democrats for all sorts of thieves and scoundrels, and said he was going to tele? graph to President Harrison for troops to annihilate the whole party and got his face mashed again.. Things got so warm for Mr. Racker that some of his Demo? cratic friends took him in charge and car? ried him throngh tbe storm and fired him over a high fence with advice to leave town for the time being." Tri bate of Bcspsct,. Whereas, on the 1st day of April, last, our Heavenly Father, in His allwise {>rovidenoe, saw fit to call home our great y beloved sister, Mrs. W. A. Stephens, who had so earnestly labored in onr midst since the organization of the Society and who, by her Christian walk, hts so greatly ?ndearea herself to the Society, the Church and the community in general, we, the members of tbe Woman's Benevo? lent Society of the Williamston Baptist Church, desire to give some little expres? sion to our feelings in the following reso? lutions : Resolved, That while we feel grieved and deeply mourn our great loss, we meekly submit to this dispensation of our Father, and we remember that He doeth ail things well. Resolved, That our Society aud Churoh j have lost a valuable member and an earn? est worker whose place can not be easily filled. Resolved, That we extend our heart-felt sympathies to tbe bereaved family and relatives. Resolved, That a blank page in the So? ciety Minute book be inscribed to her memory. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family, and also that a copy be sent for publication to the Baptist Courier and to the Anderson In TlUUGSftCfiB. SXC*5TAAT. Tlia Wife-Murderer HaDged. Williatu Wilson was hanged in the Jail yard at eleven minutea after 11 o'clock on Friday morning lust. He was pronounced dead in tweutv-tbrce minutes by Drs. J. P. Dackett and A. S. Todd, and in thirty minutes from the drop he was cut down, placed in a cheap coffin and the cofiin re? moved to the street where his friends might take the corpse in charge. Wilson's case is familiar to the people of tho County. On the morning of May 10th last William, otherwise known as Bud. Wilson, cut his wife's throat, billing ber in a few minutes, and then cut his own throat, from which he soon recover? ed. Wilson's crime was a particularly cruel and revolting one. His victim was a woman quietly making a child's gar? ment and totally unconscious of the aw? ful fate awaiting her, his wife whom he had sworn to love and protect, hia best and bosom friend, the mother of hin chil? dren. And the mother was slain by the father in the presenoe of their three or four little obildren. Wilson's neighbors were justly indig? nant at his shocking crime, and donbtless would have hung him to the nearest tree had he not been so severely wounded and had not tbey been earnestly entreated to allow the law to deal with the case. They consented to this course, and doubtless to their satisfaction as well as to everybody's there were none of the "laws delays" in administering punishment to the guilty wretch. He was tried at the June term of Court and promptly convicted of murder by the Jury. He was sentenced to be hanged on October 7,1892. In less than five months from the day that his hand inflicted death on his wife the hand of the law adminis? tered the punishment of death to him. On Friday morning the writer visited Wilson in his cell. He was a different looking man from what he was five months ago. The defiant look had given place to one of utter despair. The ox pressed desire of wanting to be hung had been supplanted by a terrible fear of the gallows and the life to come. His face wore the expression of a man who was in an agony of pain and had been for days. He talked freely and spoke to those he recognized as they came into his cell. He gave a detailed account of the murder of his wife. He said he had thought of | killing her and himself a number of times before he did, but knew if he killed her and not himself he would be hung. He gave uo cause for his crime. On the con? trary, he said his wife was good and kind to him, though ho said masonry was at the bottom of it, as his wife kept after him to do two things, viz., to join the masons and buy a shotgun. He would not or could not explain what he meant by thac, ex? cept to say some one had taught her a lot oi maiionry. He said he was not a mason. When asked what were his hopes for the future he would generally reply iu a voice of agony and fear, "Men, it is an awful thing to go into the presence of the living God." Sheriff Bolt came into the cell at some time after 10 o'clocek and asked the pris? oner what hour he would name for the hanging to take place. He designated 11 o'clock, aud aBked the Sheriff how long the fall would be. He was told it would be about his length. Dr. Frierson talked with him then and read the 5lat Psalm. The doomed man cried freely. Rev. C. B. Smith also talked with him and the ministers knelt with him a little later on the scaffold and prayed for him. It is doubtful if the unhappy murderer at any time expressed the belief that he would be saved. At near the appointed hour Wilson re? quested that the Sheriff be told to come for him. The Sheriff appeared aud read the sentence of death as passed by Jndge Fr?ser at the last Sessions. The prisoner's bands were then secured bebind him and a black gown put on him which reached below bis feet. He was In his shirt sleeves and asked to be banged that way, but of course that was not al? lowed. He was then escorted to the gal? lows between two guards and went quiet? ly. On the scaffold he made a rambling and incoherent talk of several minutes aud then asked the ministers to pray for him. At the close of the prayers the rope and the black cap were adjusted, and while this was being done and when the depu? ties began leaving him, the intense excite meut under which he had been laboring all morning, become almost frantic and his appeals for mercy and for God to be with him were little less than wild screams and shrieks of horrible fear and dread. In tbe midst of his cries the trap fell, and tbe Scriptural command was fulfilled which says, "Whoso sheddeth man's blood by man shall his blood be shed." A large crowd had gathered around the Jail premises to witness tbe ghastly sight, but Gapt. Hill's company kept them with? out prescribed limits and the peace and quiet of the day were all that could be de aired. Tbe skillful manner in which the exe? cution was performed and the general management of the affair were highly creditable to Sheriff Bolt and his assist? ants. When tbe body was carried to the slroat, and Capt. Hill bad started his company for the armory, a rueh was made by the hundreds of people standing around to see the corpse, and in a few minutes a strug? gling mass uf humanity, white and black, were striving for a look at the dead man. Wilson's neck was brokon and the rope cut deeply into the flesh. That was due perhaps to the fact that his neck was ten? der from his recent wound. Some friends were present in a wagon and took charge of the remains and car? ried them off. Four years ago la?t April Jap Davis was , hanged here for the murder of his wife. He lay in await for ber early one morning and shot her as she was returning home from her brother's house. Ho and Wil? son wore from the parne general section, both white men, both were hUDg for kill? ing their wives aud no other banging has taken place within the four years. May the Juries of Anderson never fail to condemn wife-raurderera to the gal? lows ! Centervlllo Items. Picaing cotton and pulling corn is the order of the da}-.

A Few Words In Reply. Eoitoks Intellioenoer : Please allow me space in your valuable columns for a few words in reply to the editor of the Ad? vocate, relative to the "slagging match," as he chooses to term it. How strange this man who has made it bis profession to instruct the youths of this God-forsaken country, intellectually, physically and morally, should hold up bis bands in holy horror of this manly art of scientific sparring, that was never introduced in the school of science to be called Blugging, but to be called sparring, for that is the proper name. And I take occasion to say that if the editor, who, by the way, ig the Sobool Commisioner of this a la Mexican country would introduce some athletic ex? ercises iu the schools, such as Blugging, skipping the rope, punching the bag and taking a little trot of four or five miles oc? casionally, we would have less of thepo measley, dirt-eating, stoop-shouldered, oigarette-smoking aud dime novel reading boys, and our girls would have some shape on them, too, instead of looking 1 ike, as most of them do, a feather-bed tied in the middle. Yes, let the boys "slug" and the girls skin the cat; it will do them good. Healthy bodies mean healthy minds. Away to the woods, ycu country editors, where the boys spend Sundays bunting muscadines and throwing rocks at wasp's nest, and the gals string chin quepimi and wear them for beads J Give us science and more of it, Citizen.

Editors Intellioenckr : In reading the account in the Greenville Kerns of the unveiling of tbe Confederate Monument in that city last week, and tue ablo ad? dress delivered by Judge Cntbrau and Col. Hoyt, my sympathies were touched as they have not been in years. When Col. Hoyt referred to that Sunday morn? ing, July 21, 1861, my miud ran back thirty-one years or more, when I with my neighbor boys went into tbe battle full of hope and courage, but before suusot some of them lay oold in death. I began this to ask a question. If one County can honor its dead heroes by erecting a monu? ment to their memory, why not another? Why not Anderson County ? Let our good ladies organize a Memorial Associa? tion in this County. Will not some one go ahead and get it up? Respectfully yours. <fcc., John C. Uantt. [The good ladies organized a Memorial Association some time ago, and have al? ready started a fund for the purpose of erecting a monument to the sleeping he? roes of Anderson County. Any person who desires to contribute to the fund may send thoir money to Miss Lenora C. Hub bard, this city, who is Secretary of the Association. Tbe Indies are determined to erect tho monument, aud they would like to have a contribution from every citizen of the County. See how much you can raise in your section, Mr. Gantt. The ladies will appreciate any effort you may make.?Editors.] Cedar Grove Dots. It has been quite a time, Mr. Editor, siuce I have written anything for your valuable paper.

Testimony differs as to tho fooling of tho soldier on going into a fight, and tho many experiences related during tho 10 cont encampment of Grand Army men to their always willing listeners showed that in their war histories tlioro was no uniformity of cither fear or daring. Tho major of a New Hampshire regiment said : "1 always felt timid when tho ahot began to reach us, but as sonn ns wo got into action 1 was carried away by excite? ment. I am not usually a profano man, and I Jiavo no rccolloction of talking roughly to my troops, yet a good many of them have assured mo that all through a light I would swear like?well, like a troopor." Another man, a colonel, said : "It is all nonsonso to say that a man doesn't feel afraid at tho beginning of a fight and all through it. Ofcourso ho does. Ho has reason. Sherrnau said of Gen. Sumner that ho was tho only man who grew bolder as he grew older, but the only man I over saw who really wanted to fight, and to onjoy it after ho was in it, was Custcr." ?

Dr. A. T. Pierson, of Philadelphia, who has boon spoken of as Spurgeon's successor, says that he is not a candidate for the place. Ho is going to London to preach to Mr. Spurgeon's pcoplo for a short season only. "How long it may last," he says, "I cannot say. I am going to a disturbed congregation. Tho devil is at work among thorn. Ho has attomptcd to disintegrate tho church. In this ho has been, I am sorry to say, as? sisted by some of tho so-callod religious papors, which have printed numerous anonymous letters on the subject. This seditious faction is but a small part, how? ever, of tho congregation. Tho great mass aro still earnest God-fearing men and womon." ? Mr. S. G. Mayfield, a Barnwoll, S.
