The City Council has determined to erect a nice cottage at the Cemetery, which will be for the ose of some good man who will be made custodian of that important property. The Council will see to it that 4he property there is properly taken care of. An old -criminal was asked what was the first step that led to bis rnin, when he an? swered : "The first step was cheating an editor out of his subscription. When I had done that, the devil bad got such a grip on me that I never could shake him off." Everybody is now in favor of the graded school system for the city, and we would suggest that steps be taken at once to se? cure it. "Strike while the iron is hot." The columns of the Intelligencer are open to any citizen who has any sugges? tions to make. Mr. T. C.

The report of the Chief of Police to the Council for tue mouth of February snows that there were 7i cases brought by the police, of which there were 67 convictions. Cash fines to the amount of $237 were col? lected, and 74 days work rendered on the streets, which, at 50 cents a day, makes the cash value of the fines for February $274. We invite the attention of the business men of this section to the card of Mr. L. E. Norryce, in another column. As will be seen, Mr. .Norryce is now in the em? ploy of P. W. Wagener <fe Co., of Charles? ton, but will continue to make bis head quarters in Anderson and serve his old customers as formerly.

He leaves a widow and nine children. The sweetest bird-singer in the South? land i? the mocking bird, but they are fast becoming extinct by their nests being robbed by bad boys aud the old ones .-utblessly killed. We believe there is a law against killing or imprisoning these delightful and beautiful songsters, and if so, every good citizen?every friend of the sweet Bingers?should aid in the detention and punishment of all who kill the old birds, rob their nests of the eggs, destroy the young or imprison them. The Cadets of the P. M. I. will give an entertainment in the Opera House on Friday evening, March 10. They will present the sparkling military drama, "After Taps." One of the features of the evening will be a recitation by Miss Badger, of Macon. Those who have beard her know what a treat is in store. She bas recently completed a course in elocution under one of tbe finest elocutionists in tbe South, Mrs. Legg, of tbe Boston Con? servatory. The admission is 25 cents; re? served seats, 35 cents. Every two horse farmer should raise at least two bogs. He can do this and hardly miss what they eat. Four would be bet? ter than two. By planting a small lot, one-half in tbe early amber sorghum, tbe other in a later variety, hogs may be fed and kept in thriving condition on the sor? ghum. Sweet potatoes, especially the large prolific kinds, are excellent feed for them. All indications point to a scarcity of hogs next fall. This should be a suffi? cient reason for every farmer making an extra effort to raise bis own meat. One of tbe prettiest and neatest pieces of handiwork we have ever seen is a "save all quilt," made by Miss Mollie Whitta ker, daughter of Mr. Samuel A. Whitta -ker, wbo lives near this city. The quilt cont&fas-jjix thousand and forty-eigbt pieces, fvhuit^arj^beautl fully arranged and very pleasing to ifc3~*ce. Miss Mollie is certainly an expert with tbe needle, and a most charming, industrious young lady, and the young mau wbo wins her heart and hand as a life companion may con? sider himself very fortunate. * The Columbia Register, of last Friday, says: "Sheriff Gaines, of Anderson Coun? ty, ,was in the city yesterday. It will be remembered that bo was among those Sheriffs who were summoned to Charles? ton in the contempt cases, but owing to tbe illness of bis wife be did not go and was paroled. His wife is dead and the Sheriff wants to know 'where he 1b at,' in these oases especially, since an appeal bas been taken to tbe Supreme Court. He came to consult with tbe Attorney Gen? eral, but as that gentleman is away from the city on business the Sheriff went back to Anderson." About ten days ago Mr. Newton Mc Connell, a most excellent citizen of Hall Township, met with a painful accident by falling from a tree, a distance of thirty feet. His collar bone was broken and be was bruised and shaken up badly. He is now mending rapidly, we are glad to say, and will soon be himself again. Mr. McConnell is about 60 years of age, and it is a little remarkable that he was not killed. He served through the war in Orr's Regiment (aud was a brave soldier, too), and one of his neighbors and an old fellow-soldier says that is the reason he escaped without more serious injury, Tbe Board of Trade met yesterday after? noon to decide upon some man whom they would recommend to the powers that be for appointment as postmaster at this oifice. The applicants for endorsement before the Board were Messrs. W. F, Barr, B. C. Cunningham, N. R. Green, M. L. Sbarpe, A. H. Todd, M. P. Tribble and Ohas. W. Webb. These applicants bad made a written request tbat the Board choose one of their number for endorse? ment, and pledged themselves to abide by the action of the Board. We are informed that there may be applicants for the office whose names do "uot appear among the above, tut that they were severally in? vited and requested to unite in tbe above agreement, and tbat they declined to do so. The contest between tbe above named applicants was a friendly one and honorably conducted, and it was only after five or six ballots tbat the Board chose Mr. Barr for unanimono endorse? ment. Ninety four ballots were cast on the last electiou. Mr. Barr has long been an honored merchant of this city, respect? ed and esteemed by all who know him, and he will make au accommodating and efllciect officer. As a result of the last meeting of the Board of Trustees of Clemson Agricultural College a prospectus has been issued giving all information about its advantages. An engraving of the college is given as well as the names of the trustees and pro? fessors. The object of the college and the courses of study are treated of, while a de? scription of the plant receives due atten? tion. The pamphlet contains all informa? tion about the college that any one could desire, and they will be distributed throughout the State in order that every? body interested may be properly informed. The college will be opened July 6th next. Mrs. Mamie Poore, wife of Reuben M. Poore, of Honea Path Township, died March 3rd, 1893, and was buried at Shady Grove Church on Saturday following, after appropriate funeral services by her pastor, Rev. R. J. Williams. Mrs. Poore was in her 32nd year, and leaves a hus? band, two children and mother to grieve her loss. Over a year ago she bad a severe attack of grip, and h?>r constitution being weak she never recovered from it. She had a gentle, kind and loving disposition, and was loved by all who knew her. In early life she attached herself to the Church, and ever lived an ornament to her profession, and her death was only a change from this world of sickness and death to that haven of rest, where partings are no more. Mrs. Mattie Chipley died at her home on McDnffle street last Sunday night about 12.30 o'clock, aged about 55 years. Mrs. Chipley was a widow, and resided with a maiden sister, Miss Susan Wilson. She has been a resident of Anderson a number of years, having moved here with her sister from near Greenwood, S. 0. She bad been in feeble health for several months, but her condition was not con? sidered serious until about three weeks ago. She was a most excellent Christian woman, having long been a member of the Methodist Church, and was highly es? teemed by her frisnds. On Monday her remains were interred in Silver Brook Cemetery, Rev. J. 0. Wilson conducting the funeral services. Last Friday night, between 9 and 10 o'clock, a small cyclone passed through a section about four miles north of the city. Its path did not exceed two hundred yards in width, but wherever it struck everything was leveled to the ground. The residence of Mr. J. T. Brown, on Mr. Luther Burriss' plantation, was tern from its foundation and completely wrecked, the timbers and the furniture of the house being scattered in every direction. The outhouses were also demolished. Mr. Brown and bis family were away from home at the time. Had they been at home the entire family would have no doubt been killed. Considerable timber was blown down. Mr. Wm. Brown's orchard was destroyed as well as the fences around his premises Inside bis bouResomeglass? ware was shaken from a shelf and broken. About the same hour the wind was very high in other section*, but we have heard of no further damage. ? The Intelligencer has received a pri? vate letter from Maj. A. Q. Hill, of Calais, Me., who was stationed in Anderson in 1865-66 with the 1st battalion of Maine Vol? unteers. Maj. Hill says: "I have a lively recollection of my sojourn in Anderson in 1865 66, and as Quarter Master had to deal with you alt. I gained no friends among those I wished to, but bad to con? tent myself with those that I could not help but despise." He says he was is the war from 1861 until the close and mentions the names of several persons who were residents of Anderson during his sojourn here- Two of these citizens are still resi? dents of Anderson. Thoy remember Maj. Hill very well, and speak very highly of him. Maj. Hill aays he is a Democrat and odfers to send the Intelligencer ? something for publication. We would be pleased to hear from him, - and can assure him that should he ever visit Anderson he would be warmly welcomed and would meet with the cleverest people to be found in Grover Cleveland's whole country. Mr W. R. Mc Adams, Jr., a most ex? cellent citizen of the Antreville section, had the misfortune to have his wagon al? most toru to pieces on South Main street ?last Thursday afternoon. He was going out of the city, on his way home, with bis wagon loaded with supplies, and was driving a team of three mules. Just as he began ascending the hill at the P. M. I. a bicyclist came down the street and his team became frightened. The mule in the lead made a sudden turn and was fol? lowed by the other two mules, and, in less time than it takes to write it, the wagon was badly demolished. Mr. Mc Adams at once brought his demolished wagon to the shops, and it cost him about fifteen dollars to have it repaired. The bicyclist refused to even pay for half of the damago, which falls right heavy on Mr. MoAdams, who is a poor man. Bicy? clists will have to be more careful in rid? ing through the streets of the city. Such accidents as this will bring some of them into the Mayor's Court, where thoy will be made to pay right dearly for their carelessness. Mr. Thomas Nelson Page, the well known Virginia author and reader, will give an entertainment in the Opera House on Saturday night, 18th inst. Wherever Mr. Page has appeared, his success has been instantaneous, and his popularity as a delineator of Southern life and charac? ter on the platform is keeping pace with his great and increasing fame as an au? thor. The Atlanta Constitution, in speak? ing of his entertainment, says: "An evening with Thomas Nelson Page is something that will be remembered as long as fife lasts. How many have read his- charming stories, so fascinatingly illustrating the Bimple customs and faith of the old time Southern gentlemen aB they followed with thrift and industry their different pursuits?read them with rapture and delight until their very lives seemed taken back to the dear, dead old days of negro slavery?read them through and through, ceasing only now and then to wipe away a tear, born of tender pa? thos, or to lay aside the book laughing im? moderately at the genuine humor abun? dant in its pages ? But to bear him ! To hear the man himself who wrote and felt these things?his apt and masterly power to speak the old negro dialect; his natural Southern accent?it is as near as real life and 'word life' ever got to each other, in very truth." For United States Marshal. At the meeting of the Board of Trade last Wednesday afternoon the following resolution introduced by Mayor Tolly, was unanimously adopted by arising vote: Learning that our fellow-townsman, Gen. W. W. Humphreys, is a candidate for the office of United States Marshal for the District of South Carolina under the incoming Democratic Administration, and feeling a warm interest in bis appoint? ment, and being desirous of bearing testi? mony in his behalf; therefore, be it' Resolved, By the Anderson Board of Trade, that we regard Gen. Humphreys as in every way worthy of the office to which he aspires, and beg leave respectfully to commend him to the favorable considera? tion of the President. To the Members of Kooky Rlv?r Baptist Church. All members who have not paid their dries for 1892 are requested to do so at once. There are some members who are in debt to the Church for 1891. They are re? quested to comply with the above. All who refuse to pay their dues, or make some arrangements in regard to the mat? ter, the Church will bo compelled to with? draw from the same. A. B. Gailky, Church Clerk. Don't fail to call on Wheeler, between the 10th and 20th of March, and have some fine Photographs of yourself, The City Declined to incur the Dig Debt' Tho election on the question of "sub? scription*' or "no subscription" ot'5?0,000 by tho City to secure tho location of tho Industrial College for Women here was held yesterday. Tbe question was decided in the nega? tive by a vote of 14t> to 2(5, which was only about one-third of our voting strength. Less than one-half of the voters of the City had registered for tho election, ho that the total vote could not have exceed? ed 240, the number registered. The election was held in the office of Mr. J. D. Maxwell, and was managed by Messrs. J. D. Maxwell, Jas. M. Cathcart and J. J. Dodd. The polls were open from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. It will be wondered why the City re? fused to vote ?50,000 for this purpose when ?75,000 was offered last year. Per? haps tho reason may be found in this; It was thought that it would be useless to offer leBs than ?50,000. The City already has a bonded dobt of ?34,000. The two debts, if ?50,000 was now sub? scribed, would place a total debt of ?34, 000 on the city. So large a dobt would debar the City from Baking appropria? tions for other enterprises now in con? templation, or from making improve? ments that may bo needed soon. The City, therefore, decided that sho could not afford to secure the College to the ex? clusion of other desirable enterprises. Following on the discussion of the In? dustrial College question is the agitation of the establishment of graded schools. That can be done at one-half tbe cost of the College, doubtless. It is a question that may confront the voters iu the near future at the polls. Round About Barnes. I notice, Mr. Editor, that some of your correspondents write with gold pens, oth? ers with fountain pens, &c , and I would like to pay to them that I am in possession of a glass pen. The pan and stufT are made together, (both are gloss) bot I don't use it all the time, because when I broak it I don't know how or where I will get another oue. The article in your last issue, "How to cook a ham," is all very good, but we are looking for the man that will tell us "how to get a ham" right now. This writer dined with a gentleman recently and whilst partaking of the many good things that had been prepared for diuner, the lady remarked that bam and bacon were so high that she was not able to get much of it, when a few minutes later I noticed nine large hams and about as many shoulders and sides swinging from the rafters in the top of the house. I decided at once t'it it was altogether too high for her. Despite tbe cold weather last Saturday night the sociable at Mr. Edgar Steven? son's was well attended. Miss Emma Oalbreatb left hero last Wednesday for her home at West Union. Some of our boys say they will go to demsoo in Jnly. Miss Linda Mauldin went to Bleckley recently, where she will spend several months. Mrs. David Mobilster spent a few days at Eureka last week. Mr. A. V. Barnes is circulating in our midst again. Considerable excitement was created here last Saturday p. m. when Mr. John Evans, Jr , came in and offered five dol? lars to know who tnrned bis mule loose on the night before, but tbe parties ac? cused finallly convinced him that bis mule bad got tired of standing hitched so often and so long, and had decided to change tbe program by slipping tbe bridle and leaving him, whereupon Mr. Evans apologized for bis conduct, and now our mere, ant is anticipating the sale of two or three good halters. It is not generally known, nevertheless it rs a fact, that gold has been discovered within three miles of this place. Miner? al gists have examined it and pronounce the vein a rich one. Arrangements are being made to have it tested, and if satis? factory it will only be a question of time as to when work will begin to uneartb tbe precious ore. There is a great demand for pigs, shoats, &c, around here, and one of our neigh? bors has eleven and positively refuses to ?eil any of them. That commandment, "Love thy neighbor as thy self," has been quoted to him, bnt he puts a new version to it and it now reads: "Love thy pigs as thy self and part not from them ." There seems to be a general cry for them through both Anderson and Abbeville Counties. A young man from Yarennes was through here last week bunting hogs, also a gentleman from McCormick, both on same business. They say only a few are to be found anywhere, and none for bale. "Yes, we farmers are going to quit planting so much cotton and raise our own supplies." But when ? "Why just as soon as we get out of debt," and we are going to get out of debt, when we quit planting so much cotton. From various accounts it is evident tbat more cotton will be planted this year than last. We are obliged to do it. The majority of us have no meat and no money, and we must raise cotton to pay for it. Corn is ?1 per bushel on time and cotton must pay for that, too, but when we sell tbat cotton for seven or eight cents we will find a large balance of our accounts mnst be carried over and then we are compelled to increase our cot? ton crop next year, but wo are noing to raise our own supplies. Grace. Holland's Store. Mr Cbas. M. Buchanan, who went to Florida last fall from Rock Miiis, lias ro turueJ. He is looking well, and thinks of returniug next fall. It is raining this morning which will necessarily set tho farmers still further bock. However, the recent good weather was well used, and wo are advancing us fast as the circumstances of the situation will permit. Quite a quantity of late oats are being sown. Gardening has begun. Irish potatoes are being planted, onions, ?Sc. Some of our friends already havo cabbago plants up. A few of our lady friends havo young ohickens, and a nurnborof hens setting. So the outlook is bright, notwithstanding the many obstacles. Messrs. Fowler & Cooley are working a good force of convicts, besides a number of other hired labor?between 25 and 40 in all. They will cultivate some live or six hundred acres in cotton this year, besides corn, vegetables, tfce. They are pushing their business vigorously, and if energy and push goes for anything they are bound to succeed. It is now March, and the peach trees show no signs of putting forth yot. If the weather is suitable there will bo some com planted this week in this com? munity. Miss Lillie Holland, who has been spending some time with her aunt at Lavonia, Ga., has returned homo. Rev. J. Ware Brown, of Hartwell, Ga., will accompany the pastor, Rev. T, A. Thornton, to Shlloh next Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Brown was formerly of this State. And his friends will be glad to see him, and have the opportunity of bearing him preach. We learn that a sad accident happened on last Saturday eve to Mr. ? Jesse San? ders, a young man living a few miles below this place. He and his brother-in law, Jas. Hewin, were in the woods at work, when a tree blew down on him inflicting injuries from which it is doubt? ful if he recovers, At present wo cannot gather particulars, and trust it is not as bad as represented and that he will soon recover. Burke. Saowflakes From Mohawk. Well, Mr. Editor, as I havn't seen any news from Mohawk in some time, I will try to give a few dots from this thriving part of the world. We have been having a great deal of rain, which has almost given the farmers the blues, a? they are somewhat behind with their farm work. The streams have been up considerably during the last rain. Mr. John Pruitt and sister. Miss Nina, visited friends in the Brushy Creek section a few days ago. Methinka Master John must have some attraction up there, as he visits that part right frequently. Miss Mattie Eskew and Corrine Long have been visiting Misses Cora Hall, Nina Pruitt and other friends in this com? munity. I think Olin surely must have enjoyed his ride to Church the third Sunday, as he bad two girls in his charge. We bad tbe pleasure of seeing tbe pleas? ant face of our friend Mr. E. W. Long in our midst last Sunday. Mr. E, must have some attraction in Mohawk. Bkrnard. Photographs! W. M.

Rood Music Houso. I VVillianiston Items. News readied here yesterday that Gist Bigby was shot and instantly Killed by a drunken man at Mt. Vernon, Ga. Gist was a young man of excellent habits. He is a son of Mist. Sarah Bigby, of our town. It was a terrible shock to the family, and they have the sympathy ol the entire community. The remains will probably reach here to-day, and will be buried in the cemetery at this place by the side of 2 brothers gono before No particulars of the killing have been ro cei ved as yet. The death of Miss Birdie Prince lias cast a gloom over our town. She was a general favorito among old and young, and was the first young lady to be buried in our cemetery. May the youngas well as the old hoar "the solemn warning from Birdie's gYave. Bo ye ready, for at an hour when ye think uot death may claim you. Rev. Mr. Stall was not able to preach on last Sundny, but his pulpit was filled by Rov. Mr. Auld, who delighted his congregation with one of. his soul stiring sermons. On 4th Sunday in February Rev. A. C. Stopp, of Honea Path, preached a strong sermon in the Baptist Church, after which a good collection was taken for missions. Last Friday night Mrs. Mary Gray and daughter, Jennie, were shocked by lightning. J. Matt. Cooloy, Esq., formerly of this County, but now of Orangeburg County, is spending some time here for his health. Mr. Cooley, it is said, has made his for? tune, and has now retired from business. Willie Surratt, of our town, has gone to tho State farm, to guard convicts un? der J. J. Cooley. That was a good sensible article from neighbor ''Grit" of Cedar Grove last week. There was no love sick, nor slang, in it. We would roally like to know Bro. Grit, and give him a hearty shake of the hand, for anything sensible, like his article, is a real troat these days. Messenger. Tounville Locals. A "norther" struck our place on the 4th inst. I never got to go to the inauguration. Well, I am like tho nigger that wanted to go to the burying and was denied by his master. He said: "Never mind, I will have one of my own some day, and I guess I will go to'that." So I console myself that when I am elected President of tho United States I will certainly be on hand. Miss Eflio Bagwell, of Seneca, S. C, spent last weok with relatives near this place. Mr. Will Gaines and Mr, Will Bailey of Andersen, S. C, were in town the other day.
