Chambers?both negroes. Jasper bad called
at Arthur's home, and was talking to his
wife when he (Arthur) came up. Toe latter
went into tbe bouse, and iu a few minutes
came out witb a pistol iu bis band and
asked Jasper what he was doing there.
Jasper replied that be was making a
friendly call and started off. Artbur
cocked his pistol and Jasper began run
ning* Tbe former started after him and
fired four times. Three shots went through
Jasper's clothing, and the fourth ball
lodged iu bis right wrist, causing a pain?
ful .but not serious wound. Jasper Imme?
diately "went to Dr. Bowen, who brought
him to tbe city Tuesday and Dr. J. C.

of Pendleton, Henry, the two-year old son
of Mr. J. J. Sitton, was accidentally killed
by a breech-loading gun. An older son,
Arthur, bad been hunting, and, com?
ing home, placed the gun in the corner of
the sitting-room, when John, a younger
brother about five years of age, picked it
up. Just at this time Mrs. Sitton entered
tbe room, and, seeing her little boy with
the gun, attempted to take it away from
him. He ran out of tbe room, and, as be
passed into tbe ball, stumbled and fell, tbe
gun was discharged, and the load entered
the head of little Henry, who was leaning
on a obair near by. In a twinkling the
mother had her little darling in her arms,
but nothing could be done for him, as
death had already done its work. Iu their
terrible affliction the bereaved parents have
tbe sympathy of a wide circle of friends,
and they have the consolation of knowing
that their little one is "now safe in the
arms of Jesus."

rial train and crew. He was a faithful
officer, and was highly esteemed by the

Heroic Rescue From a Well,
Under the above caption the Greenville
News, of last Friday, says:
"A few days ago while a man named
Jack Jones was cleaning a thirty foot well
on the place of Frank Blassingame, in
Anderson County, six miles from here,
the sides suddenly caved in on him, bury?
ing him completely under ? bout six feet of
earth and stones. He threw up one arm
as he felt the cave coming and his wrist
was pinned down to the top of his bead by
a very heavy stone which rested on It.
He could move nothing but one finger.
"Dick Snipes, who is a veteran well dig?
ger, gallantly went in and began to dig lor
the buried man. He was repeatedly called
out, but declined to leave and fur three
hours worked for the other man's life with
his own in peril every second, Jones
could make no sound, but could hear tbe
men above saying it was no use, that he
was surely dead and that it was folly for
another man to be risking his life. Every
time, however, he was comforted by bear?
ing Snipes say be intended to see it
through and get out a living man or his
body.
"Jones' breath came shorter and shorter,
but he was comforted and kept alive by
bearing tbe steady, sturdy work of Snipes
going on above him and by tbe assurance
tbat he would not be left to die iu slow
agony alone and deserted- At last the
rock above bis bead was reached and with
tbe use of all his strength Snipes lifted it
off and found instead of a corpse a man
aJive enough to understand that light and
life and fresh air had reached him at last.
"Jones was hauled out and is doing very
well. Snipes has gone about his business,
probably unconscious of the fact that hun?
dreds of men have gone into history as
heroes for acts requiring not one-half the
cool, persistent heroism he manifested in
digging patiently three hours in the jaws
of death to savo a folio w-man's life."

Death of a Good Man.
Mr. Xenon Breazeale died last Saturday
morning at his home, about four miles
west of this city, and on Sunday after?
noon his remains were laid to rest in the
Salem Baptist Churchyard, after a short
funeral service in the Church, conducted
by Rev. H. B. Fant, in the presence of
quito a large crowd, who bad assembled
to pay their respects to his memory.
Mr. Breazeale was born near Belton, in
thiB County, on the 7th day of November,
1814, and was, therefore, in the 79th year
of his age. He spent bis life in this
County, and we can truly say that by his
death we lose one of our best citizen; i. He
was held in high esteem by all who knew
him, and was, indeed, a useful citizen.
After completing his education he
taught school for a tew years,latter which
he began farming, which occupation ha
followed very successfully nntil his d;ath.
At the age of 33 years he married Miss
Elizabeth Fretwell. a sister of the late
Capt. J. Y. Fretwell, who, with six chil?
dren, are left to cherish his memory, one
of whom is our townsman, Hon. Jofcn E.
Breazeale.
Mr. Breazeale was twice elected a mem?
ber of the Board of County Commisnion
ers for this County, and was the chairman
of the Board both terms. In this position
he rendered the County valuable services.
He also filled other positions of honor
and trust. Truly may it be said of him
that be discharged every duty with
fidelity and zeal. He was a very active
and energetic man, and only a few woeks
prior to his death seemed to still possess
thar, energy and activity that was cherac
teristic of him. He was firm in his convic?
tions yet was of an amiable and gentle
nature. He always greeted bis friends
with a smile and a cordial hand-shake.
He felt deep interest in young men, and
was ever ready to give them a word of
good advice. He was a warm friend to
the writer,, and it was always a great
pleasure to us to meet him. His intimate
friends will cherish his memory as long
as life lasts.
Mr. Breazeale joined the Salem Baptist
Church several years ago, aod was an
active and devoted member. His Chris?
tian life was exemplified iu his d lily
walk, and brightly did his faith shine
during his last days. His words spolten
to members of bis family and to his
friends while on his bed of sickness will
long be remembered by them. Such a
life and sucb a death has not been in viin.

during the evening, and rendered some
fine selections of music, which added
much to the program.
At the conclusion of the program, Prof.
Smith stated that, at tbe beginning of the
school term, Mies Stringer had offered a
book as a prize for general excellence
among tbe pupils of her department, and
that be bad oflered five gold medals, one
for general excellence, another for decla?
mation, the third for composition, the
fourth for letter-writing, and the fifth for
elocution. The compositions and letters
bad been written in tbe ecbool room, and
bad been referred to a committee to award
the medals. A committee had also been
selected to award the medal for declama?
tion. The Committee, iu tbe meanwhile,
had retired, and in a short time came in
with their report. Rev. H. Turner Smith
then stepped forward, and, after some re
marks, presented tbe prize book and gold
medals to the successful pupils, as follow?:
The book, for general excellence, to Mas?
ter Clarence Clinkscales; ineial, for gener?
al excellence among the larger pupils,
Miss Mamie Poore; for elocution, Miss
Mamie Clinkacalei>; for declamation, fas?
ter Warley King; for composition, Master
J. Edward Poore; for letter-writing, Miss
Alma Smith.
It was abont 12 o'clock when the bene?
diction was pronounced and the audience
dismissed. The teachers and pupils were
warmly congratulated, and the latter were
tbe recipients of many lovely flowers.
Tbe good people are fortunate in having
such a man at the head of their school as
Prof. Smith, and we are glad to know that
they propose to erect bim a new and more
commodious school building in the near
future.
On Saturday afternoon, Miss Keely, of
Williamston Female College, who has
been teaching a class in painting and draw?
ing in Belton, gave an exhibition of some
of the work of ber pupils. W e bad tbe
pleasure of taking a peep at many of tbe
pieces before the exhibition opened, and if
we are any judge, we think all tbe mem?
bers of the class have considerable talent
in painting and drawing, and they should
continue to cultivate it.

Rev. M. McGee preached at Bethany as
usual on the third Saturday and Sunday
ult. The Church observed the Lord's
Supper on that occasion. The house was
filled to its utmost seating capacity, and
a large number were obliged to remain
out of doors. Let us have a larger house,
brethren, so that we may accommodate
all who come to hear the Word of God.
Prof. L. M. Mabaffey closed his third
term of ten months' teaching at Bethany
on the 12th of May, his average being
more than sixty children for the whole
term. The patrons realize that they have
the right man in the right place, and
they have secured him for another term
to begin in July.
Prof. Wilder, of North Carolina, was
in our midst last week with his sleight
of-hand, magic lantern and banjo. Those
who attended say the entertainment was
very good.
A tornado struck this community on
the 29th ult., doing a great deal of dam?
age, blowing down qaite a number of
outbuildings and almost ruining the
orchards. Mr. E. C. Horrington's dwell?
ing was blown down, and he and his
family barely escaped before it fell.
Prof. L. M. Mahaffoy is off on a visit
to relatives at Boleman, S. C.
Our P. M. and wife have been on a
visit to relatives near Fair's Bridge on
Little Rivor, in Abbeville County. He
reports a pleasant visit, and says crops
are good on the road. Mr. J. W. Clink?
scales has tbe finest cotton on the road,
and he says there is more wheat, oats
and corn planted on tbe road than he has
seen in one year since 1S67.
We had a heavy rain on last Saturday
evening, doing considerable damage to
crops and farms, The terraces are bro?
ken in almost every field.
The P. M. says he would like for the
County Commissioners to report what
rent they aro to receive ior tbe Trail
Road. He says he sees that it is in culti?
vation within one mile of one of them.
The rain continues, and the farmors are
beginning to talk grass.
Wheat harvest is on. Wheat is pretty
fair, but oats not so good.

He didn't tell the boys what his business

The National Gold Cure Institute Has Es?
tablished In Spartauburg.
Dr. Frank Bright, of this city, has charge
of the South Carolina branch of tbe Na?
tional Gold Cure Institute, of Wilmington,
N. C, and is now open for business in the
Central Hotel. He has a suite of elegantly
fitted up rooms, and has also arranged to
board bis patients there, where they can
be overlooked and tieated under his im?
mediate eye. Mr. W. Frank Osborne, Sec?
retary an 1 general manager of the Gold
Cure, is now in our city assisting Dr.
Bright. This is a well-established scienti?
fic treatmeut aud cure of alcoholic poison?
ing and tbe various diseases caused by the
excessive or moderate use of whiskey, mor?
phine, opium, etc., etc,, and a permanent
cure is guaranteed, or no charge will be
made, This institution is so entirely con?
vinced of the solvency of their remedies,
that parties seeking treatment, if they so
desire, can deposit the amount of charges
in some bank, subject to the order of the
manager when a permanent cure is effect?
ed. Their charge for treatment, including
board at the Central Hotel, is only 875, i
which is certainly as reasonable as one
could ask. Mr. Osborne says that there
are occasional cases where the system is so
diseased by the prolonged aud excessive
use of liquor that a cure is an utter impos
sibility.and such patients are not received.
But in a large majority of cases they can
destroy the taste for liquor in twenty-four
hours, and in forty-eight hours their pa?
tient is thoroughly relieved of his thirst.
But they keep tbeir patient under treatment
for four weeks, so as to effect a lasting cure
and build up the system,
Chloride of pure gold, which is the fun?
damental treatment used in the treatment
of alcoholio poisoning, is by no means a
recent discovery, as is generally supposed.
Its application for tbe treatment of a disease
has been known to chemistry since 1810,
and has been an important factor in the
compounding of various formula* in the
practice of medicine. The double chloride
of gold is an unknown quantity in Mate?
na Medicine. This is a scientific fact,
which cannot be controverted.
Tbe National Gold Cure Institute, with
this valuable remedy and other compounds,

analysis of those special diseases, to possess
those healing and nutritious qualities
which has crowned their system of treat?

Mr. Editor: I with many others went
to Sandy Springs on Sunday last to hear
Dr. Bosworth's address, and found tbe
house crowded. The Doctor spoke one
and a half hours, and he had as good or?
der as I ever Baw in my life anywhere.
Never did a man give better advice to
the boys and girls from twelve to seventy
years of age. If we would only do as he
said what a change it would make in our
community. A committee of six mem?
bers from Lebanon invited him to de?
liver an address at that Church, and he
agreed to do so on the first Sunday in
July at 101 o'clock. We invite and will
welcome all who attend that day.
We are requested to say that tho Alli?
ance is still alive at Sandy Springs, and
will have its usual election for officers on
Saturday before tbe fourth Sunday in
this month at three o'clock. Turn out
and get your choice. Hurrah for Don?
aldson and the Pickens Alliance.
We have had good rains and crops are
growing finely. People are very hope?
ful, with heavy crops of fruit, good gar?
dens and Spring chickens. Come up,
Mr. Editor, ou the first Sunday in July
and hear Dr. Bosworth. We will care
for you on that day.
The health of this section is very good
ar. this time.
Col. L. J. Alfred Writes:
I am in ray seventy-third year, and for
fifty years I have been a great sufferer
from indigestion, constipation and bill
iousness. I have tried all the remedies
advertised for these diseases and got no
permanent relief. About one year ago,
the disease assuming a more severe and
dangerous form, I became very weak and
lost flesh rapidly. I commenced using
Dr. H. Mozley's Lemon Elixir. I gained
twelve pounds in three months. My
strength and health, my appetite and my
digestiDn were perfectly restored and now
I feel as young and vigoious as I ever did
in my life. L. J. Alfred,
Door-keeper Ga. State Senate,
State Capitol Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 5, 1891.

Mrs. N. A. McEhtire writes from Spring
Place, Ga. : For many years I have been
a great sufferer from indigestion, sick
headache and nervous prostration. I tried
many remedies, but got no permanent re?
lief until I used Dr. Mozley's Lemon
Elixir. I am now in better health than
for many years. My daughter has been
subject to chills and fever from her in?
fancy. I could get nothing to relieve her ;
tbe Lemon Eiixir has restored her to per?
fect health.
