Last Friday the Anderson Cotton Mills sold one thousand bales of cotton to Messrs. Fa well & Co., of Rock HilL S. C.

The Williamston correspondent of the Greenville News, under date of 29tb nit, says: "Some excitement prevailed in our generally quiet town this afternoon when Augustus McCarley met Ben Wallace on the street and, after asking him if be was armed, immediately began firing at him with his revolver. As Wallace retreated McCarley placed five shots in tbe direc? tion ho was going, none taking effect. The trouble grew out of tbe faot that Wallace was making arrangements to elope with and marry the sixteen-year-old daughter of McCarly. The facts will be brought oat later."

Burt Miller, assault and battery with intent to kill, sealed sentence. Sam Dove, alias Sam Smith, manslaughter, new trial granted and prisoner admitted to bail. A good one Is told on a clerk of one of the saloons of this city. Last Saturday a negro came into the saloon and asked for a bottle of the over-joyful. Tbe clerk said: "Why you're a day too late. We closST^st^night under the Dispensary law." The would-be purchaser, with a significant wink, said: "I most have it My wife is sick, yon can let me have it, can't yon ? I won't mention it or give yon away." "I'm afraid yon wonld tell on me," said the clerk. "No, sir," said the negro. "You'd drink it io town and they'd catch up with me," continued tbe salesman. "I'll never tell it nor drink it in town," said the purchaser. The clerk j gave him a half-pint flask filled, and said; "Now, if you are not satisfied with this I when you get out of town and try it, yon can return it and get your money back." The negro went away happy. After be got out of the city about two miles, the darkey offered a white man tbe first drink out of the bottle, which was accepted, I Upon taking a swallow or two it was found that tbe bottle contained water. It is needless to add that the negro brought tbe bottle back and got his twenty-five cents, but he was not so happy coming back, as he was going out. Mr. "War dl aw asks us to say that, the* following is the fare for tbe round trip tickets to Texas on tbe 2nd of August: Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and S-iher man, $29.45: Gainesville, $29-95; Galves ton, $30.95; Huntsvile, $29.70; Jefferson, $25 65; Texarkanna, $25.60; Little rock, Ark., 821.95, and other points in prcpor portion.

Mr. Wardlaw their names ae soon as they can, so he can arrange for the extra accommodation. This will le a good time, with extra accommodations, to visit the West at just what it would cost to go there ordinarily. Mr. Wardlaw will gladly furnish any one with further par? ticulars. The Piedmont correspondent of the Greenville Mountaineer says: "Mr. W. C. Owens, of Brushy Creek Township, Anderson County, came into our dec. the other day, with a paste-hoard box und^er his arm, which he said contained some kind of a monster for which he want 3d a name. On examination we found thi-.t he bad in bis possession one of those stmnge and curious animals or reptiles calljd a chameleon. He had fbund.it in aoctton patch, on Sam Wilson's plantation in tbe above named locality. It was alive and lively, but how did it come in this pa: t of the world; perhaps the cyclone that drop? ped those Spanish dollars about which the Daily New? and the News and Courier have been bandying words, also dropped this chameleon. We have just received a note informing us of the death of Mrs. E. E Gentry, the beloved wife of Mr. Henry Gentry, waich occurred at her home In DeKalb County, Ga., last Sunday morning, 2nd inst. Mr. and Mrs. Gentry are both natives of An? derson County, but have been living in Georgia a number of years. Mrs. Gentry was the youngest daughter of Wiltfam Long, deceased, and a sister of Mr. Geo. W. Long, of this County. She bad long been a zealous member of the Baptist Church and was a most estimable, Chris? tian woman, whose death will be h 3ard with regret by her many friends and rela? tives in this County. To the berenved husband and children left to cherish her memory, we tender our sympathy, and may He who doeth all things for the best comfort and console them. Superintendent MoBee, of the R. <t D. R. R., seems determined to double best in making convenient schedules for the accommodation of our people, and our business men should and will show their appreciation in a substantial way of his good-will towards Anderson. Tbe change of schedule that took place on tbe C. ft G. R. R. last Sunday gives us six trains a day now. Persons living between Green? wood and Anderson can come here and spend a few hours and return in tbe afternoon. The same can be done on the train from Greenville, and in addition, we have a mail on this train. The train from Walhalla arrives here at 11.Li a. m. and the oue from Columbia at 4.:!0 p. m. The Greenville train arrives at . 2.05 and leaves at 3.08 p. tri. In behalf of the people of Anderson, we lift our hat and tender you our best thanks, Col. MoBee.

Quite a serious accident occurred at 8impson'8 mill, In Brushy Creek Town? ship last Thursday morning. The safer? er was Jake Seawright, about nineteen years of age. Simpson's mill has two hoppers, one for corn the other for wheat. In the center of these is a shaft eight in? ches in circumference, which runs to the am utter above. The young man was try? ing to reach iiround this shaft with his fingen, when suddenly some part oi his clothing was caught in tbe shaft and he was carried around with it at a terrible speed. Both the hoppers were knocked off by hia head striking them. Fortunate? ly they were empty and very light or he would have been surely killed. After the machinery had been stopped bo was pick? up unconscious, with three lor g gashes in his head. Dr. N. T. Richardson was rent for and sewed up the gashes is his baad and otherwise relieved the suffering man. He 1b reported to be doing well and on the road to recovery. Again we are called upon to chronicle the death of another venerable citizen of Anderson. We allude to the death of Mr. H. L. McGill, father of ex-Connty Commissioner W. T. McGill, who died at bis home in Pendleton Township last Sunday morning. His remains were carried to Varennes Church on Monday and interred, tbe funeral services being conducted by Rev. Hugh MoLees. Mr. McGill was in the 74th year of his ; ige, and was born, reared and bad always lived in Anderson County. He had long 'been a consistent member of the Presby? terian church, and for the past thirty years was a Ruling Elder in the same. He was a very quiet, unobtrusive oitinen, and had the confidence and good-wiU of all bis acquaintances. For the past two years he had been afflicted with hat terrible disease, cancer, but bore his affliction with Christian patience, and was ready for tbe summons of death. His wife preceded him to the grave more than a year ago. Three sons and one daughter are left to mourn his death. Last Friday a most terrible accident happened at Mr. J. H. Little's horn ) In Rook Mills Township. The vlotim was Mr. Thos. Girard, who was one of a thresher crew. He was endeavoring to unchoke the straw-carrier, when one of the Binall belts slipped off the pulley, i nd, in whirling around very rapidly, caught his right arm and jerked it down between some of tbe small cog wheels. His urm was immediately severed at the elbow and thrown to the ground. The unfortunate man did not know that his arm had been severed until his attention was called to it. Drs. Wltherspoon and Cook were imme? diately called and tbay amputated the arm just above the elbow. He aufftired intense pain until the amputation took place, when he soon went to sleep and has since been getting along very well. '. This is certainly a heavy affliction on 'At. Gi? rard, who is a poor, hard-working man, with a dependent family. Though not a native of this country, he was a brave sol? dier in the war, and his many old war comrades and other friends will regret to hear of bis misfortune. The Knights of Honor of this city cele? brated tbe twentieth anniversary of tbe organization of their order last Friday, and it was a most enjoyable occasion throughout. In the afternoon the wives and children of the members in company with a few invited guests visited the large and beautiful spring on Mr. J. J. Fret well's plantation two miles east of the oity, and spent several hours very pleasantly. Light refreshments were served under the management of Mr. A. Schilletter, and everybody bad al| they ooqld well devour, In tbe evening at 9 o'clock the members and a number Df invited guests assembled in the Lodge Room, where we again came in contact with Mr. Schilletter and his re? freshments. After partaking of the latter, cigars were passed around, and Mr. R. E. Belcher, Dictator of the Lodge, arose from his seat aud made a few remarks, at the conclusion of which G. E. Prince, Esq., was called upon. Mr. Prince was ready to re? spond, and did so in his usual happy and Impressive manner. He gave a brief his? torical sketch of the order, with statistics of its growth and death rate, and showed the many advantages to be derived from the order. He said tbe order furnished insurance at actual cost, and, of course, was tbe cheapest insurance in existence. He said that the Anderson Lodge was sev? enteen years old, and during that time twenty-two of its members bad died. Forty-four thousand dollars bad, there? fore, been paid to the widows and orphans of these deceased brethren. Mr. Prince was followed by Capt. P. K. McCulIy, who spoke of the social features of the or? ganization, and showed the benefits to be derived in that way from the order by its members. Messrs. J. G. Cunningham, J. J. Baker and A. P. Hubbard were also called upon and responded in a few ap? propriate remarks. After more refresh? ments, the assembly dispersed, every one feeling, no doubt, that it was good to have been there. County Teachers' Institute. Tbe Teachers' Institute was called to order Monday morning at 10 o'clock by School Commissioner Russeli. He in? formed the members that Prof. Craig head, who was to have bad charge of tbe Institute, had written that he could not attend, and chat Dr. Lander had kindly agreed to take his place. Col. Patrick was present and kindly tendered the teachers the use of the P. M. I. buildings, Ac, and welcomed them to the city. This address of wel? come was happily responded to by Dr. Lander. Prof. Albert, of Bloomsburg, Pa., who was so popular among the teachers three years ago, is among the faculty again. He delivered a very interesting lecture on the subject of Psychology, showing the importance of developing and direct? ing tbe will power of children.. In the afternoon he gave an interesting talk on methods of teaching advanced arithmetic. On Tuesday he continued the discussion of these subjects. Prof. Albert's talks are full of interest and information. Miss MoMaster, of the Columbia Graded Schools, is heartily welcomed by the teachers again after a year's absence. She has charge of the primary depart? ment, and is full of her subjects. Dr. Lander has given some very practical talks on school Hygiene and kindred topics. The Institute opened with fifty three teachers, which number was in? creased on Tuesday to seventy. A num? ber of visitors are in attendance, which fact is a source of gratification to all con? cerned. The exorcises are interspersed with plenty of recesses and music, adding thereby to tho social features of the occa? sion. The aRernoons are devoted to the ex? amination of teachers for certificates to teach in the public schools, one branch of study being taken up each afternoon. This is a new plan of examination gotten up by Mr. Russell, and deprives the ex? aminations of their irksom en ess. A very popular feature of the Institute is the "question box." Into this box the teachers are at/liberty to place any ques? tion which they may desire answered. At tbe close of the dally session the box is opened and the questions answered. The Institute will continue until Friday afternoon. The people of the city and community are cordially invited to attend. Honea Path. The 4th of July?everybody knows what it means. The threshing season is about over. Wheat turned out very well, but gene? rally speaking oats came up missing. We bear of no rye or barley being thresh? ed. Both these are very important crops, and should not be neglected by farmers. The town is almost deserted. Nearly all from here and everybody from the country are off on the excursion to Greenwood. The Methodists are carrying on a meet? ing. Extra help 1b expected to-day, and the meeting will continue for some time. Mrs. Geer and Mrs. Campbell, of Bel ton, visited relatives in town last week. Miss Ida Brock is in Anderson. She seldom ever leaves her post of duty. The lawn party given at the hotel last Friday night in honor of the several visitors in town was qnite enjoyable. We make especial mention of a party of gay and pretty young folks from Belton, whose presence, after such a long ab? sence, as well as conversational qualifi? cations, added much to the enjoyment of tbe occasion. At a meeting of the patrons of the Honea Path High School, held at this place on July 1st, the following resolu? tions were adopted: Resolved, That for the purpose of establishing and main? taining a graded school or schools at Honea Path, S. C, with a district to em? brace an area of not less than twenty-nyo or more than thirty-six square miles, a committee of five be appointed to take such steps as may be necessary to carry into effect tbe establishment of such graded school district; Provided, No additional annual school tax levy shall exceed five mills upon all taxable prop? erty within the limit of said school dis? trict. Under the above resolution J. C. Milford, G. M. Greer, B. F. Gassaway, C. E. Harper and M. L. La timer were appointed as a committee. This looks like business. We will still note its pro? gress. Misses Daisy and Rena Rice, of Bel ton, have been visiting their friend and schoolmate, Miss Jennie Shirley. Togeth? er they shared the splendid discipline of I the best college in the State, and it is 1 pleasant for them to spend their vacation as muoh together, as possible. Miss Jennie accompanied them homeward Sat? urday. Many will take advantage of tbe cboap rates to Asheyille on tbe 7th. B. Belton Items. Dr. Chas. Manly, tbe highly esteemed pastor of the Baptist Church attbis place, preached two very instructive and edify? ing sermons here last Sunday morning and evening. His subject in the morn? ing was Excessive Anxiety, and in tbe evening, he discussed the Remedy for Excessive Anxiety. The Little Gleaners of tbe Baptist Church will give an entertainment next Tuesday evening, the 11th inst., at 8 o'clock at Mr. McGeo's old store, occu? pied by Mrs. Butler before she left our town. All are cordially invited to come and bring some nickels and dimes. The little girls will have ice cream, cake, lemonade and flowers for sale. The trustees of the Belton High School request all the subscribers to tbe new school house funds and all the friends of the school to meet them at Stringer's Hall Thursday, the 6th inst, at 5 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of electing a build? ing committee and attend to any busi? ness that may pertain to the building of tbe house. Let us have a full turnout of tbe citizens of Belton and vicinity. Mrs, Capt. Jas. McDonald, her daugh? ter, Mrs. Haycraft, and the latter's two children, also tbe two Misses Clark, sis? ters of Mrs. McDavid, all of Florida, are visiting our townsman, Major Ira Wil? liams. Prof. J. T. Smith is attending the teach? ers' Institute in Anderson this week. Mrs. Lou. Fielder, of Tyler, Texas, is on a visit to her brother, Mr. B. D. Dean, of our town, and other relatives and friends of Anderson county. We noticed among the worshippers at the Baptist Church last Sunday Miss Jennie Shirley and Mr. Lawrence Brock, of Honea Path ; also Messrs. Beattio Gos settaud David and Edward Vandiver, of Anderson. Do not forget to attend the school meet? ing next Thursday, the (Jth inst.; and re? member the "Little Gleaners'" enter? tainment tbe 11th intst., at S o'clock, p. m. Attention, Co. F.

An interesting program is being arranged for the occasion, and it is to be hopod that all of our old oom rades, who can posssibly do so, be pres? ent. "One by one we are marching" to our eternal homo, and this may bo tho last time that many of us may meet each other. We cordially invito all old soldlors and thoir friends and families to rr>oot with us. Let everybody bear in mind tho dinner basket, and brlrg it well fill? ed. J. T. Hann a, Chairman Com. Wllliamstou. Last Wednesday afternoon a large par? ty came from Piedmont to Wllliamston. and drove to the residence of Rev. D. W. Hiott, where Mr. B. S. IT. Harris, of Spartanburg, S. C, aud Miss Bettie Hughes, of Piedmout, wore united iu marriago, Mr. Iiiott officiating. Tho attendants were Mr. Thomos Addy, of Toronto, Canada, and Miss Daisy Tim merman, of Piedmont, S. C. Mr. W.O. Wilson and Miss LulaTimmerman, both of Piedmont, S. C. Mr. Harris was rnls ed near this place, and is a young man who deserves great praise for his pluck and energy. He has an invention known as the "Harris Autoraatick Air Brake Car Coupler," which has already made him monoy, and will doxibtless make him more. His wife is a beautiful young lady and was dressed in a becom? ing costiime. Mr. and Mrs. Harris have the best wishes of our community. Miss Carrie McGoe, who has been visit? ing friends hero, returned to her home in Honea Path. Mrs. William Ellison, who has been sick, is a great deal better. Miss Wilson, of Georgia, is horo visit? ing relatives. Mrs. J. M. Lander has gone to spend a few weeks with her parents near Bel ton. Harry Epting will start for Clemson next Wedn&sday. Miss Meanda Thornton, of Hartwell, Ga., is visiting her friend, Mrs. W. D. Coolev. Mr. Broadus Austin, of Anderson, spent last Tuesday with his parents. Mr. J. L. Brown, of Columbia, spent a few days with his parents. Jeter H. Townville Locals, Miss Maggie Tribble, of this place, who has been teaching in tbe Winthrop Train? ing School at Columbia, S. C, is spending her vacation at home. Tbe M isses Livingston, of Seneca, 3. C, and Miss Lisle, of Columbia, 8. C., are' visiting tbe family of our worthy country? man, Mr. E. P. Earle, this week. We can almost hear the wedding bells in Townville. Mr. L. 0. Bruce, living on the Oconee side, has the finest cotton that we have seen anywhere. Prohibitionists of Anderson, stand by your convictions and have no dispensary or blind tigers, or liquor of any kind. I wish every doctor in Anderson would visit Furman McLeakey, who lives near this place, and who is afflicted with such a strange disease. It is very likely they have never seen anything of the kind, and consequently they might be benefited. Mr. E. P. Earle, living near this place, on tbe Oconee side, brought to our sanc? tum the other day two very large turnips, weighing three and one-half ponnds each. Mr. Earle is one of our most progressive farmers. He makes his farm self-support? ing by raising all bis corn and meat, and all other necessaries of a farm.
