He leaves a widow and five children. An exchange says: "If you see a fellow going.around with the "kypbosit," or the bicycle hump, on the back you may know that he doesn't know how to ride a bicycle.

The Oconee New says: "The citizens of Anderson have at last awoke from their profound sleep and will meet next week to organize a Fair and Driving Associa? tion. They do not propose to allow Oconee to o. atrip them. Their.County pride deserves the highest commendation and will result in ,an honest rivalry be? tween the two Counties." ? . Dr. B. M. Latimer died suddenly at his home, a few miles southeast of Honea. Path, in Abbeville county, last Friday af? ternoon. During the morning 'be went out to his melon patch,and did some work. When he returned'to the house, he ate a hearty dinner and retired to his room. In a Bhort time his daughter, who was the only member of his family at home at the time, found him dead, sitting in bis chair. Mr. W. P. King, an old Anderson Coun? ty boy, and one of the cleverest drummers on the road, has been visiting his old home in the Fork. He was accompanied by his friend Mr. J. W. Christian, who is representing the~Stover Bicycle Manufao ing Co., Freeport, III. Both gentlemen are expert wheelmen and made the trip to the Fork on their bicycles. They return? ed to the city Tuesday, and we enjoyed a pleasant call from them. Mr. Wm. L. Bolt, of Oarteravllle, Ga , spent a few days in the city last week, and was a welcome visitor to our sanotum. He and his family have been visiting Mrs. Bolt's parents in the Fork. Mr. Bolt Is an old Anderson boy, and eight years have elapsed since he was here. He and the writer were boy chums, and it gave us as well as all of his old friends in Ander? son great pleasure to meet him. His adopted home Is doing a good part by him.. Mr. 0. C; Simpson has presented us with ? basket of the finest Irish potatoes we have ever seen produced in this section, for which we return many thanks.' Mr. .Simpson, whose beautiful home and farm lies just beyond the southeastern suburbs of the city, has devoted a portion of his time this season to truck farming, and he has been quite successful, all of hla pro? duce being very fine. He is now prepar? ing to plant bis second crop of Irish pota? toes. ? Mr. Andy Brown, who owns a valuable truck farm and vineyard on the southern suburbs of the city, and who is as pro? gressive as he is clever and accommodat? ing, has purchased from the Sullivan Hardware Co. one of Wood's new steel mowers, one-horse size. He gave it a trial on the writer's clover patch a few days ego, and its work in the field is almost equal to that of a good barber with a sharp razor on the face?leaves nothing above ground. Persons having any mowing to do would do well to secure Mr. Brown's services. The midsummer Cosmopolitan, the first at the new price of 124 cents per copy, though unchanged in size, excels any other issue of that magazine In the num? ber of its distinguished contributors, in the interest of its contents and in its over? flowing illustrations by famous artists, Franois Coppee, William Dean Howells, Canaille Flammerion, Andrew Lang, Frank Dempster Sherman, H. H. Boye sen, Charles DeKay, Thomas A. Janvier, Colonel Tillmati, Agnes Repplier, and Gilbert Parker are a few of the names which appear on its title page. Throe frontispieces, all by famous artists, furnish an unusal feature, and among the artists who contribute to the 119 illustrations adorning its pages, are Laurins, Reihart, Fenn, Toussaint, Stevens, Saunier, Fitler, Meaulle and Franzen. The : midbummer number is intended to set the pace for the magazine at Uh new price of 12i cents a copy, or $1.50 a year. The magazine remains unchanged in size and each issue will be an advance npon its predecessors. Literally, every known country is being ransacked for material in the hope to bring the Cosmopolitan for? ward as the leading magazini > in the world. In a private letter from our old friend, Mr. R. C. Haynie, of OalUonn County, Ala., be says : "Mr. Luke A. Hanks, of this County, died on June 2Uh of paraly? sis. He had three attacks, the third prov? ing fatal. Mr. Hanks was be rn and raised in Anderson County, S. C, and was a son of Tillman Hanks, deceased. He was one of ojr most popular citizens, and a man of great influence, which be always exercised in the right w*y. Seven children?three sons and four daughters?are left to mourn his death." Mr. Hanks has a host of old friends and relatives in Anderson County, and we know the announcement of his death will be sad news to them. In the same letter Mr. Haynie, io speaking of the crops in his section, say- : "Crops are not so promising as at this time last year. Cotton is very small, yet it seems as for? ward as it was this time lasv. years, as we had blooms on June 26th. Corn is not so good as last year. Spring oats turned ont very well, but the fall crop was not so good. Wheat was badly in jured by the rust We are now needing rain very bad." Honest Beil Shirl ;y. Under the above caption, ,ho Hartwell Sun of last week says: A few days since Mr. Johr. R. Kay told us a little incident concerning our ven? erable old friend of Shoal C-'eek district, .Mr. Benj. Shirley. Some t me ago Mr. Kay was in Anderson, S. C, and met an old friend of his, Hon. B. F. Cray ton, who for many years was a leading mer? chant of Anderson, dating back to the jgood Old days way before the war. Mr. Cray ton asked Mr. Kay if he was not a relative of Ben Shirley. Mr. Kay re? plied that he was a cousin. "I thought so," said Mr. C, "and I wan; to tell you something about him." And Mr. C. went on to state that in hooking back over his old books he discovered an ac? count against Benj. Shirley for $25 that had no credit to it. Mr. Shirley had moved somewhere in Georgia about 40' years previous to his finding the account and it struck Mr. C. that' ho would like to hear from his old friend and customer, and knowing his sterling honesty he would send the account to l im and ask him if he had paid it. He wrote to a Ben). Shirley at Harmony Grove, * who proved to be the wrong man. Afterwards be beard that Mr. .8. resided in Hart county. He wrote to him. Mr. S. did not answer the letter but v-rent in per? son to see Mr. C. The account had es? caped hhvattention, but he remembered perfectly that it had not beer; paid. He insisted upon paying the account nt ten per cent, interest, but Mr. (.'., who was more than willing to receive t ae principal refused to take that much,-but they com-, promised on $65, which sum Uncle Ben paid over, remarking, "I couldn't rest satisfied in my grave if I knew that debt warn11 paid." Some one has said that an honest man is the noblest work of God. To' Confederate Vete -aus The undersigned desire to sec a Camp of the United Confederate Veterans or? ganized in Anderson, and, af;er consul? tation, we have decided to.call a meeting for that purpose on Tuesday, July 16tb, at 11 o'clock, In the Court House, and we cordially invite all of onr old comrades to meet with us.and enroll their names as members.

Section 11 of the Dispensary law says that the request for liquor shall be refused if the Dispenser filling it knoxs that the person applying is intoxicated. In order that onr Dispensers may be quick in de? termining whether an applicant is intox? icated or not, we submit to them the new test for intoxication in Canada. "When a man can pronounce "reciprocity" without tripping he is' written down wber; but "sip-em-proBumty" is a fatal pronuncia? tion. : An effort to re-organize the Mountain Springs Debating Society will be made Saturday night. All Interested will please meet at the school house on tim >. I spent yesterday in Troglevel, a guest at the hospitable home of Mr. Sheriff. To say that I bad a pleasant time would only be putting it mild. I enjoyod myself hugely, By the way. I.will sta :k up this Troglevel section against anything in this County for fine watermelons a id a heap of them. Their corn and cotton crops pass muster, too. When published we read the Greenville News' Tumbling Shoal a bee hiving inci? dent, and on the evening following nar? rated it to a friend?-narrated it with the expectation of hearing him exolnlm, "that beats anything that I have heard of," bu; to our titter astonishment he sali, "Why, Ned, we have a fellow here In Brushy Creek who is the hero of a bee h .ving inci? dent that will knock the socks off of that." "Indeed," said I, "you must tell us about it?V "Well," he commenced, "one after? noon since'the waning of moons not many, a tiller of the fertile seil of this Township was taking an evening stroll, no doubt thinking as he walked along of the many blessings with which he was sur? rounded, when suddenly he stopped, his eye. discerned just a few paces before him something nestled on the under side of a limb, which, on examination, proved to be a swarm of bees. As he was not within reach of the necessary materials for con? structing a gum. and had nothing; with him that he could hive, them in, hin first im? pulse, and the one upon whio i he was about to act, was to leave them is be had found them, but as he turned to leave he took a second glance at them, vhich in? spired him with the thought that that was too fine a swarm of bees for him to let go, and as he stood with the guano sick in his hand ruminating it flashed aaross his mind that these -'ere record-breaking times. That was enough, he unfurled bis sack, gallantly walked up to where the bees were, held it under them with one hand, and thrashed them into it with the other. When the last bee wss in, ne calmly tied-up the sack, throwod it over his shoulder, walked home, fixed up a gum and dumped them into it, and they are doing well." When the good brother finished as above we fell into something like a trance, and when we recovered he had departed. Thinking, there'ore, that the matter would bear investigation, we straightway set to work, and, with some little enquiring around, succeeded in locat? ing our man?found him in the person of Binum Trrpp. We havn't had. time to call on him, but had a member of the medical fraternity, who passes there fre? quently, to atop and ask him atxnt it Sat? urday. He says that Binum says that it is a Tact?he did hive a swarm of bees in a guano Back and is not ashamed of it. Score another one for Brushy Creek! Ned Needle. Help the ?ufortmjate, Mr. Editor: A tenant's house belong? ing to Mr. J. Hampton Earle, at Ever? green, was burned on Saturday last, 8th lost. The house was occupied by a ne? gro, John Sligb, and family, S igh and wife bad gone to the field to wo.-k. leav? ing three or four children in thu house. The children could not or would not tell how the fire originated. The house and contents were entirely copsumed. Noth? ing was saved but a water-bucket that Sligb had in the field with him. Sligb and family are in a pitiable condition, as they have nothing now, except what they had on their backs. The attention of the charitably disposed is respectfully solic? ited in their behalf. Neighbor. Doctor Bosworth informs us that the Infirmary has been more crowded with patients during the last month than at any time formerly, and he does not know how he can close up for the utual two months which he always takes for rest, In town alone ho has patients enough to cause the Infirmary to remain open for tbe balance of July and not take another oase than is now under treatment. The Infirmary has proven a useful accession to Anderson, and its work is growing. Holland'? Store. Dr. Bosworth was at Shiloh last Sun? day and gave us a very interesting talk. His address was replete with good advice, directed principally to the yopng. It was the Doctor's first visit to this section, and he made many friends, who would be delighted to Lave him repeat it. Children's Day will be celebrated at Ru hamah next Saturday. The efficient Superintendent, Mr. Joe. C. Winter, is leaving nothing untnrned to make the day an enjoyable one. Prof. Willis will lead the music, which, to say the least, insures a success for that part of the program. The health of our community is very Sood bo far as we know. A son of Mr. . H. Brock has been quite sick with fever, but is convalescent. Our crops are needing rain, especially corn. The grass has about all been kill? ed and if we are blessed with good sea? sons from now on a bountiful harvest will be realized. The best crops of cotton that wo have noticed are those of Messrs. D. T. Thompson and Baylis Cooley. The latter named gentleman seems to be making quite a success with his convict labor. His farm is managed with excel? lent judgment, and if no providential disaster cornea is bound to succeed. A tenant house on Mr. E. J. Earle's place was burned last Saturday. It was occupied by a negro, and all that he had was lost, himself and wife being in the field at work at the time. We learn that one of the small children, who was left to take care of the bouse, Bet it on fire by chasing a bug around with a lighted splinter. Miss Ida Carter died at Dallas, Ga., about the 20th of June from measles. She was the eldest daughter of Mr. G. W. Carter, who recently moved from this section to the above named place. Miss Ida was about 15 years of age and was a most excellent young lady, the pride of her mother's heart. She joined the church at Shiloh about two years ago and exemplified the true Christian in her every day life. It is hard in suoh cases for us frail creatures to bow to the will of j Him who doeth all things well, but the time is coming when the veil will be removed and then we shall know as we are known. The pastor, Bro. Thornton, was accom? panied last Saturday and Sunday to Shiloh by Rev. J. T. W. Vernon, who is well-known to many of the readers of the Intelligencer. He preached on Satur? day and Sunday, and though getting quite frail, retains to a remarkable degree bis vigor and perseverance of bygone years. Prof. Willis will teach a singing school at Shiloh ten days, commencing next Monday, the 17th fnst. An effort will be made soon to get an eight or ten months school in this neigh? borhood.' Some of our friends are awake to the fact that a school to do any good must continue for at least eight months. We trust their efforts may be crowned with success. As the twig is bent bo the tree will grow. We are responsible, or will be held so, for the future of this country, and if our children are not im? pressed and taught while young, a deplor? able state of affairs will exist ere long. Miss Berta Holland recently spent some time at Lavonia, Ga., with relatives and friends. Miss Minnie Burriss, of your city, has returned after spending so nie time in our community with friends. Miss Kate Flemming lately visited her. | grand father's family in Oconee Couuty. Miss Ada Flemming has returned after several days sojourn in the city of An? derson, as the guest of Col. H?cker. ? Burke. Crayton Items. The Rev. T. H. Garrett called at Bethany and preached a fine sermon on the 2nd inst. Rev. B. Hays rilled his regular appoint? ment at Mt. Bethel last Saturday and Sun? day. Rev. N. G. Wright preached at Bethany last Sunday at 4 p. m. Prof. L. M. Mabaffey and Miss Jennie Griffin, of this place, spent last week at Anderson attending the Teachers' Insti? tute. "They report a pleasant stay in town, and they seemed to like the Institute very much. The farmers are beginning to take a lit? tle much needed rest. Big Joe, of Neva, parsed through our Community last week going East. The boys say Joe was hunting a land where there is plenty and no Dispensary law to dodge. On his return he reported that be bad found all he was hunting for?a land that flowed with something' stronger than milk, a land where prohibitionists are un? known and the Dispensary detectives do not come. We had u light shower of rain last Sun? day evening. A good rain is very much needed. Crops are small, but generally in good condition". Cotton is small but still growing. Upland corn is beginning to fail for war t of rain. The health of our community is very good at present. Mies Jar ie Collins is off on a visit to relatives at Calhoun, ; The schools will soon be opened. In the Spring it is a rush with ourobildren from 80000]. to the cotton patch. Now it is a rash to get through with the cotton and be ready for school, What about this school and ootton education for our girls ? Not long since we were near a cook room when we hoard th 2 following conversation between a sixteen-year-old girl and her mother: "Ha,, wby is there so much whey on tbe milk to-day?is it because the oows drank so much water yesterday ?" We could not stay to get the mother's answer without being detected, but we hope she gave a lesaoa on cooking and domesticity equal to the book lesson the teacher had been giving for the last ten months. Everybody is serene here now except Brown. Jim and Brown swapped dogs some time ago. Soon after tbe swap Jim discovered signs of hydrophobia in his dog and bad him killed. When Brown beard that the dog was dead be went to Jim for a rue bargain, but Jim refused, saying he would rather have one dead dog as two living ones. Oh ! for men like Jim on the dog question. Zip. Cedar Grove. k As "Grit No. 2" gave you the news last week, Mr. Editor, we will attempt it this week. He told about A. R. Copeland climbing the mulberry tree and making a speech for Tillman when his fine 9-pound boy made his appearance, and he should have related another incident that happened later. The boy arrived Saturday night, ahd next morning Mr. 0. went to his sta? ble, caught his mule, put the gears on and was departing for tbe field, when he was informed that it was Sunday. . A large crowd was at Cedar Grove Sun? day. Tbe pastor was absent, but Rev. F. M. Cann filled his place and preached a good, practical sermon. Mr. John Vaughn expects to go to Pel zer soon. Some of the merchants of Wllliamston must be getting uneasy. We saw one in this section a few Sundays ago inquiring for some old darkey and to look over his '| orop, We are needing rain at this writing. Good rains have fallen near by, but we did not get any. Our watermelon patches are looking very well now. There will be a Sunday School pic nie at this place on Friday before tbe fourth Sunday in this month. There will be several speeches made during the day. The public is invited to attend and to bring plenty of refreshments, Messrs, Harvey Kelly and A. L. Copeland have the contract for furnishing the crowd with lemonade, etc. All who feel an interest in the Church? yard at this place are requested to meet here on Monday, 17th inst., for the pur? pose of cleaning it off.

Again, after the lapse of many years, Pendleton is heard from through the col? umns of The Intelligencer. She is at last ashamed to see letters from every little town in the County and none from Old Pendleton. With Clemson College so near she Mds fair to become one of the Hne3t little towns in the up country. Pendleton has began to boom again.
