An exchange says there is an art in
making a coal fire In a grate. An expert
first clears the grate, then fills it full of
coal, on which in built a wood fire. The

thus constructed, burning slowly with a
moderate beat, will last all day.

A fashion exchange says it 1b evident
that crinoline Bnd hoops have came in,

find multitudes of willing followers.
The old folks tell as that this spell of
cold weather is the severest that this sec?

down to about five degrees above zero.

sections of the Oounty were frozen from
bank to bank. This morning a heavy
snow is falling, and the indications are
that it will be a deep one.

Oar clever friend, Col. R. B. A. Robin?
son, of Martin Township, came near hav?

day night- The bouse is a two-story j
building, and a room on tbe npper floor
win occupied by a sick member of tbe
family. On the first Soor, under this ]
room, Col. Robinson was sleeping. Dar- j
lag the night be was awakened and the j
first thing his eyes saw was tbe burning j
celling ander the hearth of the room on
the second floor. He immediately aroused 1
the family, and In a short time, tbe flames
were pat out. The fire, ef coarse, was
accidental, having caught from the fire?
place.
Mrs- Dorcas A. Breazeale, relict of the
late Holland Breazeale, died suddenly at
her home near Belton on Saturday after?
noon, 14th inst., aged 78 years. She had
been complaining for several days, but on
Saturday felt better and ate a hearty din?
ner. In a short time, while conversing
pleasantly with some member of the
family, she complained of being unable to
see, and before her son, Mr. 0. E. Breaz- j
eale, could lay her down on the bed she
died. Mrs. Breazeale's maiden name was
Barton, and was married to Mr. Breazeale
in 1835. By this marriage there were
eleven children, all of whom, bat one, are
living. She was a most excellent woman,
and was greatly beloved by her friends
and neighbors, all of whom will leug
cherish her memory. For more than forty
years she was a faithful member of the
Baptist Church. On Monday afternoon
her remains were laid to rest in the ceme?
tery at Belton, Rev. Dr. Manly conduct?

A Happy Occasion.
A half a century is far above tbe aver?
age of human life, and perhaps not one
couple in five thousand ever live through
that length of time in the marriage state
and. possessing good health and surround?
ed by all of tbe comforts of this world, are
permitted to celebrate such an event. This
anniversary is known as tbe ''golden wed?
ding," and it was the good fortune of
Hon. and Mrs. B. F. Crayton to celebrate
tbat occasion on last Thursday, January
12th, at their hospitable home two miles
west of the city.
Tbe day was an extremely cold one, but
at 3 o'clock, tbe hour set apart for tbe hap?
py occasion to begin, the invited guests,
from far and near, began to assemble and
in a bbort time tbe merry chatter ef hap?
py voices could be beard throughout tbe
commodious bouse.
The interior of the bouse was tastefully
and beautifully decorated with ever?
greens and holly, aud the darkened
rooms, with lamps and tapers burning,
added more beauty to tbe scene and gave
It tbe appearance of an evening entertain?
ment.
As the guests arrived they were ushered
into toe parlor and, after extending con?
gratulations to the venerable couple, were
invited into tbe npacious diaing room and
sitting room, where they were served with
a most magnificent repast of the substan?
tiate and luxuries of tbe season. In these
two rooms small tables were set here and
there, and the large number of guests
were served with ease and comfort. In
the center of the sitting-room we noticed
on a table a very large and handsome
eake, in tbe shape of a ship, with the sails
flying, and on a miniature flag were these
words, "Hon. and Mrs. B. F. Crayton,
1843-93," which had been presented to
the couple by a kiud friend.
From tbe dloingtable we strolled into
tbe parlor, where tbe numerous and hand
some presents from tbe friends of the
oouple were displayed. Nearly all of the
presents were of gold and were greatly
admired by the guests. Among the pres?
ents we noticed a pretty scroll pin, bearing
tbe dates 1843-93, and two gold coins?$5
and $10?each bearing the date 1843.
During the afternoon Rev. 0. L. Mar?
tin, in a few well chosen and appropriate
words, extended to Mr. and Mrs. Crayton
the congratulations and best.wishes cf tbo
assembled guests. Many telegrams and
letters of congratulations were received
during tbe afternoon from absent friends,
and a number of them were read to tho
gnests by Mr. Martin.
A number of the guests returned to their
homes before sundown, but tbe festivities
continued until a late hoar at night Tbe
occasion will long be remembered by those
present as one of the happiest events of
their lives. Tbe wbolesonled host and
hostess, assisted by the other members of
tbe family, entertained their guests in the
style so characteristic of their happy home
that every guest felt at ease.
Mr. and Mrs Crayton are aged, respect?
ively, 73 and 67 years, but both are re?
markably well preserved and they would
pass for many yean- younger. Mrs. Cray
ton baa scarcely a gray hair in her head,
and ber sweet, gentle disposition, loving
face and happy smiles have net changed
in twenty-five ye*rs, when we, as a little
boy, can firht renn mber her.
Mr. Crayton wa? bora and reared in
Greenville and in 183ft came to Anderson
to clerk in a store. In 1843 be married
Miss Martha Eveline Benson, second
daughter of J. P. Benson, who was well
known throughout the State in that day
and time as the proprietor of tbat old fa
mon*t hotel, tbe ''Benson House." By
this marriage Mr. Crayton became con?
nected with two of tbe most extensive
familes (the Bensons and Sloans) of that
time in this country. He began mer?
chandising in 1842, and continued in tbat
business until three or fonr years ago,
when he retired. As soon as be became a
citizen of Anderson he identified himself
with the interests of the people of both
town and country, and to-day upper Car?
olina has not a man who is better known
throughout tbe State than be. He has
perhaps represented tbe County in both
houses of tbe Stale Legislature more fre?
quently than any citizen of this or any
County in the State. Mr. Crayton was
one of the original movers in the building
of the Colombia & Greenville Railroad,
and one of the original corporators?per?
haps the only one now living in the State
?of the old Air Line Railroad. He
served several years as President of tbe
State Agricultural Society, and has held
numerous positions of honor in both tbe
County and State. He baa served his
County well in minor positions without
salary, and has always been ready to do
anything for the upbuilding of this sec?
tion and tbe welfare of his people. > Mr
Crayton, though a merchant all bia life,
has also been deeply interested in agri
cultural matters and is a successful farmer.
He was one of the originators of the no
fence law, and was one among tbe first
after the war to introduce new breed* of
stock into our section, tbe results of which
may be seen in every section of tbe County
to-day. His good judgment and pro?
gressive ideas in farming have been of in?
calculable good to the agricultural inter
eats of tbe County and State.
Mr. Crayton deserves tbe ccngnduia
tions and good wishes tbat have been
showered upon him and bis good wife,
and we think inappropriate to mention
the above facts In the former's life in con?
nection with the celebration of his golden
weddiug.
Mr. and Mrs. Crayton are the parents of
two sons and one daughter, one of tbe
former being dead. On this happy occa?
sion there were four generations of the
family present
There were only two persons present at
this celebration wbo witnessed the mar?
riage, and they were Mrs. E. M. Rucker,
of this city, and Mrs. Susan M. Wier, of
Greenville, a slater of Mrs. Crayton.
Among tbe guests present were Mr. aud
Mrs. J. C. Keys and Mr. and Mrs. J. B.
Skelton. These venerable couples were
married five or six years preceding Mr
and Mrs. Crayton, and are still vigorous in
both mind and body.
Among the guests present from other
places we noted Mr. and Mrs. W. L.
Mauldin, Misu Carrie Mauldia, Mrs.-Car
olina Mauldin, Mrs. Harriet McBee (tbe
venerable mother of "Bunch" McBee), Mr.
and Mrs. Alex. McBee, Sr., Mr. and Mrs.
W. M. Crookshanks, and Mrs. Susan
Wier, all of Greenville; Col. Thos. W.
Holloway, of Pomaria, S. C, Col. J.
Wash. Watts, of Laarens, and Mrs, B. F.
Sloan, of Seneca.
The Intelligencer joins the many
friends of Mr. and Mrs. 'Crayton in extend?
ing congratulations, and wishes them
many more years of health and happiness.

"Burned to Death."
Coroner Wright held an inquest over
tne dead body of Mtb. Tolly Ranson
on Mr. T. L. Clinkscales' place, near
Storeville, on Monday last. The follow?
ing jury was organized and heard the
case: J. P. McGee, Joel Parker, W. W.
Ethridge, J. B. Mitchell, W. M. Gam
brell, J. C. Walker, T. S. Meeks, W. H.
Johnston, J. L. T?te, R. R. Keaton, J. C.
Kay, E. D. Wakefield.
Mr. Clinkscales was the only witness
examined. He stated that on that room?
ing his wife discovered that Mrs. Ran
son's house .was on fire, and he hurried
there to investigate it. He found Mrs.
Ranson lying on the floor, and her cloth?
ing burning from hor feet to ber head.
He put out the fire. Mrs. Hanson was
dead when be reached her. He was of
the opinion that she had died from natu?
ral causes, and then had fallen so that
her feet stuck in the tire, thus allowing
her clothing to catch. He stated that on
Saturday she had fallen and had called
for help, and had complained of a curious
feeling in her head. He thought she was
not in her rigbt mind.
Dr. J. A. Anderson testified that he
had examined the dead body and found
it fearfully burued, so much so that the
burns on the face would have rendered
recognition improbable. The burns
would have caused death, said he, but
not instant death in one of healthy body.
He thought she must have been paral?
yzed or dead before she fell.
Thereupon the jury rendered the fol?
lowing verdict: "That the said Polly E.
Rantion caught fire and burnt to death
as an accident of her own."
Mrs. Ranson was a ?widow, about 65
years old, and lived alone. Several chil?
dren survive her.
District Attorney Lathi-op Moves for a
Dismissal*
The brothers of Bob Carter, who was
the Republican Supervisor of Election
at Holland's Store at the late election,
and who was killed on that day, but not
before he had killed Columbus Glenn
and J. W. Earle and severely wounded
Hampton Earle and Henry Holland,
were not satisfied with the verdict of the
Coroner's Jury in the case, and swore
out warrants before United States Com?
missioner Hawthorne, of Greenville, for
tbe arrest of a number of men who were
present on that occasion. The charge
made was conspiracy and interfering
with a Federal Supervisor of Election
and causing bis death.
On Tuesday the preliminary trial was
held in the Court House in this oity be?
fore Commissioner Hawthorne. The fol?
lowing named persons were charged with
the offence above stated: Hampton
Earle, Samuel Earle, Girard Earle, Bay
lis Cooley, Thomas Norris, Towers Flem?
ing, William Wright, Banks Wright and
John Wright.
Messrs. Tribble & Prince, of this city,
and Jos. H. Earle, of Greenville, repre?
sented the defendants, and tbe prosecu?
tion was conducted by District Attorney
Latbrop and Assistant District Attorney
E. F. Coehran.
The following witnesses, sixteen in
number, were examined : J. R. Earle,
Wm. Strickland, Steve Striokland, John
Coker, Henry Brown, Alf. Bailey, Ranse
Jefferson, Clark Shearer, Dave Alford,
Thomas Thompson, Thos. B. Earle. Luke
Hanks, G. W. Carter, W. T. Chamblee,
Paul Yon, Lewis Bailey.
Five or six hours were spent in exam?
ining this array of witnesses, after which
the District Attorney stated that the Gov?
ernment bad failed to make out its case,
and he could not ask that the defendants
be bound over for trial on the testimony,
and he therefore moved for a dismissal
of the case by agreement, which was
granted by the Commissioner. Thus
ended a case in which there was no mer?
it, but which has harassed the defendants
and their friends no little.
Had the case been Bent up and tbe de?
fendants found guilty on each count of
the indictment a sentence of death would
have followed. Had they been convict?
ed on tbe fiist two counts only, tbe lowest
sentence prescribed for such cases is ten
years imprisonment in the penitentiary
and the payment of a $5,000 fine.
Mr. J. D. Campbell, of Bel ton, the
efficient and popular stenographer of the
7th circuit, was employed by the Attor?
neys in the case to take the testimony.
A day ov t wo was saved thereby.

gallons of cotton seed oil and belonging
to the Belton Oil Mills was thrown from
' the car a few days ago, at the junction of
the roads opposite Mrs. Mary Geer's in

The farmers are beginning to haul their
commercial fertilizers out to their farms.
It is to be hoped that they will not plant

will only raise their meat and bread and
make cotton the surplus crop they will
prosper; but as long as they fail to raise
supplies at home, they cannot prosper.

TO WHOM

CONCERN!
we wish to call the attention of the Trade to
the fact that MINOR did in October, November
and December sell more Goods than any y?ar in
the history of the Bazaar and Ten Cent Store,
and that on the first day of January, 1898, but
few Goods could be found in this Store.
MINOR commenced the second day of Jan?
uary, 1893,
TO OPEN NEW GOODS,
And you all know by past experience with this
man, that this means nothing bat BARGAINS
for you. We also call your attention to the fact
that so few Good? wer6 left over, that their

Yours always truly,
