Of course all our boys, includ? ing the "devil," wore their happieBt Bailee. The Secretary of State has issued a com? mission for a charter to the "E R 'T^rton Mercantile Company," of T\j*desvilie. Corporators: J. H. McCaTf^J. W. Har din, E. O- Clinkscales, H. A. Tennant, J. Minering, E. R. Horton. The capital stock is $5,000. In the report of the re-union of Gist RiflcB at Williamston iu last week's paper, the name of Mr. T. B. Bennett was omitted from the roll of biirvivors present? and his name, instead of T. B. Barnett should have appeared as a member of the Executive Committee. Mr. E. H. Hollinsworth, of the Toney Creek section, exhibited a curiosity a few days ago in the shape of an egg.

Matbews, the evangelist of South Carolina Presbytery, is expected to begin a meeting in To vi He Presbyte? rian Church Tuesday night, 22nd inst., and to continue it until Sunday night fol? lowing. All who may desire to attend the 8am e are cordially invited to do so. An exchange advises that people should never go in the early morning to get boots and shoes fitted. In the latter part of the day the feet are at their maximum size. If people would remember this rule there would not be so many complaints of shoes when worn tight which, when fit? ted, seemed bo comfortable. Our subscription list and books arc always open to advertisers who have any doubt about the Intelligenter having the largest circulation of any paper pub? lished in Anderson County or in upper Carolina. If we can't prove it true, we will pay 3100 to any reputable person who will make the Investigation. Mrs. E. M. Keith, widow of (he late Col. W. C. Keith, died at her home in Walhalla last Friday night, aged 51 years. Mrs. Keith was a daughter of the late Samnel Reid, of Piokens County, and has a host of friends and acquaintances in An? derson County who will regret to hear of her death. Nine children survive her. Deputy 8 her iff Fant has returned from Sumter, where he went as one of the State's Constables. He says he was treated very oonrteously by the citizens of Sum? ter, and speaks very highly of them. If the Governor will get such men as Mr. Fant to act in enforcing the dispensary or any other law there will never be any trouble. Rev.'Dr. Frierson, of 8outh, Carolina, has recently been in Shelbyville, Ky., on a visit to his eon, Rev. D. E. Frierson, pastor of the First Cburcb, and preached for the First Church a number of times, Our people enjoyed bis preaching very much, for its simplicity and power, and those who met him socially, were charmed with his gentle manners and Cbrintian courtesy.?Christian Observer. It is noticeable that where there ate good roads the farmers are more prosper? ous and the farms are more valuable than where the roads are neglected. Good road horses and good carriages are found where the roads are good, and tbe people appear to be more contented.. It is certain that money invested in roads is well in? vested. It pays a big interest and every? body gets a share of it. Mr; J. L. Haynie, of the Greenville Music House, accompanied by hiB brother, Mr. R. S. Haynie and brother-in-law, Mr. J. W. Johnson, of the Craytonvilie sec? tion, whom he lias been visiting, was in tbe city yesterday, and gave us a call. Mr. Haynie continues to grow in flesh, and his friends tell him he resembles Gro? ver Cleveland. He Bays he is still selling pianos and organs, despite the hard times. By reference to an advertisement in an? other column, it will be seen that Mr. A. H. Osborne has opened a new enterprise in Anderson, and one that will be appre? ciated and patronized. It is a bathing house, consisting of a large swimming pool and shower baths, und is so con? structed that it can be used by both ladies and gentlemen. It is open day and night, except Sunday, and it will cost only ten cents .a batb. Read his advertisement, and then go and try it. The Greenville News, of last Tuesday, says: "Miss Annie Owens, her brother and a young lady friend, all from Pelzer, vis? ited Piedmont yesterday, driving over in a carriage; At 5 o'clock yesterday after? noon they started home. Their horse took fright and all three occupants of the vehicle were thrown out. Miss Owens in falling received a cut on her head which is very serious and she is now at Pied? mont unable to be carried home. The other two escaped with comparatively slight injuries." The barrel of corn whiskey seized re? cently at Pendleton, Anderson county, is to be returned to the consignor at Marion, N. C. It was shipped into tbe State before the dispensary law went into effect. When seized at Pendleton it was shipped to tbe Sheriff of Anderson, but the agent at An? derson declined to deliver it unless a Trax? ler certificate was put on it. Attorney General Townsend, being satisfied that no violation of law was intended, decided to furnish the certificate and allow the barrel to be shipped back to its owner.?Green? ville News. We leave to-day to join our brethren of the State Press Association on a trip to the World's Fair and other points of inter? est through the Northwest. During our absence our young friend, J. K. Hood, Esq., wili have charge of the Intelligen? cer, and, as we have tried him before, we know our readers will be highly enter? tained by bis fluent pen and kept posted on all of the important news, both local and otherwise We will appreciate any courtesy or favor extended to Mr. Hood by our friends and patrons. A series of lawn tennis games will be played at the Meadow Tennis Club grounds, near Dr. Nardin's residence, every evening this week at 6 o'clock.

Wat kins, P. K. McCully, Jr., R. M. Baker, Will White, J. B. Townsend, R. S. Mo Cully, J. K. Hood, J. W. Quattlebanm, D. M. Frierson, J. P. Anderson, G. T. Baker and B. F. Brown, Jr. An item, from an exchange, which fits eve ^where: A local newspaper is often accused of bias in regard to giving per? sonal notices or mentioning tbe coming or going of some and omitting others. Tbe fanlt is with the people and not with the editor. He is always willing and even anxiona to tell who comes and goes If he can find out. If you have visitors, let us know who they are and where they come from. You will find us as ready to "notice" one as another, patrons or other? wise, friends or foes. Our objeot is to give the news. A small dwelling bouse on Manning street, occupied by Mr. E. E- Williamson, and owned by Mrs Jane D. Sayre, caught fire last Thursday morning about half past 2 o'clock. Mr. Williamson promptly gave the alarm, but it was probably fif? teen or twenty minutes before he could get any response. In the meantime Mr. i Williamson and his neighbors moved all tho far Di tare out of the house. The fire? men soon arrived nnd, despite the low water pressure, soot had the flames ex? tinguished. Indeed, we never saw them do better work. The fire had caught from the stove flue., and the damage to the house is estimated at about $300, which is covered by insurance. Mr. Wil? liamson saved everything except bis cooking stove and furniture used in the stove room. Charleston College offers three very de? sirable scholarships to young men in the State which will give them an opportu? nity to secure a Bplendid education at little cost. The following J.etter sent out by the Superintendent of Education to the differ? ent School Commissioners explains the offer: "The Charleston College offers three scholarships to the young men of the State. Each scholarship is worth $200 per aunum, and is good fur four years, or graduation, if the holder graduates in less than four years. These scholarships are to be awarded on competitive examina? tion, and are open to the young men of every- County if we consent to bold the examination free of cost to the college for our services. The college will fumish the questions and bear the expense of adver? tising. The examination will embrace three days, five hours per day. The schedule will be thus: October 3rd, Eng? lish and Mathematics; October 4th, Latin aMd Greek ; October 5th, French and Ger? man, from 9.30 a. m. to 2 30 p. m. eaoh day. The examining board will not have to pass on the merits of the papers; they will be sent to the faculty, who will criti? cise all the papers and award the scholar? ships to the three who put up the best pa? pers of all the applicants in the State." The Piedmont correspondent of the Greenville Mountaineer, of last week, says: uThe plantation of Mr. F. E. Mc? Kenzie, of Grove Station, has been the center of a good deal of attraction for the past week. It seems that an immense 8warm of grasshopperf, or rather "locusts," (for they answer every description of the last named) have settled on Mr. Mo Kenzie's farm, and have made sad havoc of his cornfield. There locusts must num? ber into the millions, ind are so voracious that they eat the blade of the corn clean to the stalk. Not only this, but they also eat the leaves of the t;*ees aud briars, and everything tender and green that comes in their way. Mr. McKenzie, with a large fore? of help, is doing bis best to destroy them, employing the method of building a fire in a trench and then driv? ing the noxious inserts into the flames. Bushels of them have been made way with in this manner, and from last ac? counts it is thought thut the pest is being diminished. One thing is certain, if the locusts get scattered they will play the mischief with this section next year. The eggs laid by the present hordes are more to be dreaded thrn the locusts them? selves. 1 he farmers will do well to watch for signs of these eggs i nd destroy them at sight. A fair aooi-uutof these Insects and the means usually employed in extermi? nating them can be found in Chambers' Encyclopedia, also in Encyclopedia Brit tunica. The department at Washington has in former times uisde a full investiga? tion of the subject. We would advise those interested in tilling the soil to post up on the subject. It will do you no harm to obtain the information, even if you do not have to put it into practice." Festivitlves on the Hurricane?J. B. Klug to the Front. "The thing that ha ,h been it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shail be done, and there is no new thing under the sun." "Is there anything whereof it may be said, See this is new ? In hath been already of old time this was before us." Thus spake Eccleaiast ;a, or the Preacher, and we have seen it verified?that is the an? cient custom of fruit fentivals. We learn from ancient history tha t "Pomona (whose name is obviously connected with pgmum, a fruit,) was among the Latins the patron divinity of garden produce. The ,poets not, perhaps, without some allegorical design, represent several of the rural gods as her lovers?Silvana3, Picus, Vertum nus, <fcc. Of Vertu m m s, in particular, it is related that after he had vainly tried to approach her under a thousand different forms, he at last succeeded by assuming the figure of an old woman. In this guise he recounted to her the lamentable histo? ries of- women who bad despised love, and, having touched her heart, suddenly trans? formed himself into a blooming youth and married her. But Vertumnus, "connected with verto, "to torn," or to transform, is nothing more than a personification of those changes by which plants advance from'''blossom to fruit. The worship of Pomona, as was natural among a homely race of farmers and shepherds like the an? cient Latins, (that is not saying that we were homely,) was of considerable impor? tance. Varro tell us thar, at Borne her ser? vices were uuder the oare of a special priest, the flaman Pomonalia. In works of art she was generally represented with fruits in her lap. or in a basket with a fIrland of fruits in her hair and a pruning nlfe in her right hand. So you see, Mr. Editor, that our friend and neighbor, Mr. Jefferson B. King, who is one of our most progr essive farmers and fruit-growers, has an abundance of author? ity in ancient nsage for that most abun? dant and delicious fruit festival or supper which he gave on last Saturday evening at his residence, near Piedmont. To say that it was a delightful and pleasant occasion wonld be putting it very mildly, for you have no idea, unless you have been so for? tunate as to be at one of those fruit festi? vals, what an enjoyable event they are. From 6 30 o'clock until after 8 p. m. the guests were arriving from every direction, and by 9 o'clock there w:re about twohun dred in all, both young and old, (for you see Mr. King don't forget us old fel? lows, for he knows how to make them all happy?both old and young,) had gathered around his magnificent residence, which is surrounded by beautiful grounds, and were enjoying themselves to then* hearts' con? tent?the old men talking of old by-gone days, and the old ladies of their luck with their chickens, etc., and he young ladies? well, you have been to picnics and know how they and the young gents do, and I don't think that they have ever departed from their custom from time immemorial, that is of making good use of the time in talking in squads of two. Mr. King had made ample arrangements for the occa? sion, and Invited his neighbors and friends to enjoy the fruits of his field, his orchard and his vineyard with him, which he had in abundance spread upon the numerous long tables in his yard, and not to leave out anything which would add to the joy and amusement of his guests, he had the services of two elegant string bands from Piedmont, which discoursed sweet and melodious music during the entire festivi? ties. To give some idea of what a feast we had, I will tell you of a part of what was consumed, which was seme four bushels of grapes, fifteen or sixteen bushels of peaches, and something over a hundred of as fine watermelons as I have seen this season, besides a number of cantaloupes. Every one present had plenty. When Mr. King gets it into his mind to make bis neighbors and friends?both old and young ?happy and enjoy themselves, he knows how to go at it, and don't leave anything undone that would add to their enjoyment. I had heard of these fruit festivals which Mr. King has had annually for the last three or four years, bat I had no idea of their magnitude and importance before. Knowing, as I do, the enjoyment to be had at them, I don't see how I can wait a whole year to get to another one, and if I lievs I don't think I will miss them as I have done heretofore. In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I would say that if you just want to enjoy yourself to your heart's content just go to Jefferson B. King's, for he knows just how to give it to you. May he have t long, a happy, and a prosperous life, a peaceful transition and a glorious resurrection. We had a pretty steady night's rain last Sunday night. Crops look revived, and we feel hopeful of a good crop. I reckon working the roads will be the next thing in order now, tnd some of them begin to need it. Last year being election year, the County Commiisioners did not press the dtar people fox* fear of losing a vote, so there was not much road working done, but they will have to come to it now. So, boys, get at it. Sqube Fewell. The Enterprise Furniture Co. is loading up with a large stock of Furniture, and other necessary articles of house furnish? ings, to which the trade generally is in? vited to examine before buying. 40 dozen beautiful Silk Cravats at only 25 cents at C. F, Jones & Co's. Clothing Store, t Pendleton Dots. ?-verything isas quiet as ever bore now. Nothing has transpired worthy of men? tion during the past week, save the going and coming of the Summer visitors, and everyone talking about the progress at Pendleton. Our merchants are all doing a thriving business, despite the scarcity of money throughout the country. Pen? dleton is bound to grow. She cannot lie almost idle always, and this fall when money becomes a little more plentiful, she will begin to boom again. A weekly newspaper, factories, hotels and other en? terprises are being freely talked of by the business men, ana it seems that nothing short of a complete panic in money mat? ters will ever stop these new schemes. Several new buildings are being built and some of the old ones ronovated and paint? ed again, which gives our town a much more attractive appearance. Pendleton will yet be one of the leading places in the State. Pendleton would be greatly improved if the men who had money to invest would build several nice houses to rent and sell. If this were the case, people would move here from a distance to settle near Clemson, where their sons can come home occasionally. There was a great deal of excitement here last Friday night when the people heard of the accident at Clemson College. Fortunately, none of the Pendleton boys were hurt, except Frank Sloan, who had his face scratched and a hard fall, which somewhat bruised his head. One of Major Smythe's fine horses ran away last week, and, while running through the wood, got a hard lick on the head, which instantly killed him. J. E. Harper, of Greenville, will open his school here In the Male Academy on September 5th. Several burglaries have been committed around here lately, and the people will do well to keen an eye open for trio rascals and give them a warm reception with powder and shot. Mr. 0. H. P. Fant has sold his planta tation near here, on the Seneca River, to a gentleman living in Piedmout. He re? ceived a handsome price, which shows that money can be found sometimes in the country. Mr. Fant will probably build here or else move to Seneca. J. E. Wofibrd, of Flowery Branch, Ga., has an application for the postoffice here, but it is needless to say that he will not get it, as he is not a resident of Pendle? ton. C. G. Richey, of Senoca, was in town last week. Miss Mary Morris, of Anderson, is spending the summer here. A large party of excursionists will stop here to-day from the lower part of the State. Harry S. Holmes, of Charleston, is summering here. Tennis has at last revived again since the hot spell has left. James Moore will move to Atlanta soon, where he has a good position. Fort Hill is quite a favorite resort for the Pendleton people now, and will be more ?10 when the boys get their "brass buttons." A large crowd went from here on the excursion to Tallulah Falls yesterday. W. W. Simons and wife, ot Charleston, are here on a visit to Dr. H. C. Miller. Felix Sloan has gone on a visit to rela? tives in Greenville. Prof. Blake, of Greenwood, is here vis? iting at Miss Harriet Max well's. Heavy rains fell here Sunday night and Monday, the first of any importance in two months. Mrs. Anderson, who has been visiting' here, has returned home. Ed Sbanklin has returned to his work at Piedmont. W. A. Reokling, of Columbia, was in town last week. It was almost oold enough for tires here Monday._ W. Williamston Items. M. M. Lander, son of Dr. S. Lander and a graduate of Wofford College, has been elected assistant principal of Ma? rion's graded schools, Marion, S. C, and will leave about the 3rd of September to commence his work. The Williamston Female College will open its fall session on the 13th of Sep? tember. The Williamston baseball team chal? lenged the Abbeville team last Friday while in Greenville by telegraph, and they failed to get it in time to answer it. There was a very exciting game of base? ball played at Pelzer last Saturday be? tween Pelzer and Williamston. The score was 14 to 13 in favor of Pelzer. Bat? teries: Green and Lee, McClelland and Holder. A good many people went on the ex? clusion to Tallulah Falls last Tuesday and they were accompanied by our recently organized string band. Our Pieroetown correspondent spent last Sunday evening with us in the spring park. Miss Mattie and Miss Carrie Prinee have returned home from Greenwood, where they have been visiting for several weeks. Mrs. B. F. Brown has gone to Abbeville, where she will visit her relatives. Mrs. H. F. Sproles and daughter, of Greenwood, have been visiting here for a few days, but have returned home. Mrs. Mamie Dacus and family are here visiting her brother-in-law, Mr. B. F. Da cus. Mr. Jim Gray and Mr. John Gray, both of LaurenB, S. GL, spent a few days here last week. Mr. Her, of Piedmont, came down on his bicvele last Thursday evening. Mr. W. W. Griffin went to Seneca last Thursday to see the horse racing. Carroll Brown, of Greenville, came through here in a wagon on bis way to Belton last Wednesday, where he will spend a few weeks.

Mias Betty Neville, of Atlanta, is visit? ing relatives here. Mr. F. and 0. Anld are here visiting their parents. Jeter H. Holland's Store Item?. The Association at Shiloh was an en? joyable occasion. It was harmonious and instructive, the preaching excellent, and we feel was an instrument in God's hands for the uplifting of every soul who attended for the good of the meeting. Revs. Rogers, of Elberton; McConnell, of Gainesville; Hatcher, of Atlanta; Jameson, Bailey, Vass and many others whose words of instruction, power and and love will ring in the ears of the peo? ple of Shiloh until earth's battle is ended. The sermon preached by Rev. F. C. Mo Connell on the subject, "Revelation vs. Reason or Infidelity." was pronounced by all who heard it, to be rarely equalled in thought or otherwise. The collections for mission, <fec, were very good, con? sidering the close times in money mat? ters. The meeting is in progress at Shiloh as previously announced. The pastor is as? sisted by Revs. Brown and Wright. It will probably go on through this week. By invitation Bro. Thornton preached at Poplar Springs last Sunday afternoon. His text was Acts 2, 37-38, and the ser? mon was profound and instructive. Rains still continue. It is raining now ?Monday morning. Crops are boom? ing. Fodder pulling has begun in a few instances. The health of our community is pretty good. Severe colds are prevalent. Miss Jennie Little is quite sick with fever, we are sorry to say. Burke. White Plains Items. The long-needed rain has come, which revived crops considerably. Mrs. L. O. Robinson has took charge of her school again. She is an excellent teaoher, and we wish her much success. Messrs. Will. Shirley and John Banis? ter were visiting in this section a few days ago. Misses Corrie and Ada Dunlap made a flying visit to the White Plains last Satur? day.

Bethel Church, and we nope it will be throughout an interesting one to bolhyoung and old. Mr. J. T. Elgin spent Monday night with Mr. John Flemings. Kekweyl. Low Rates to Chicago. The Richmond &. Danville Railroad has issued a circular to all its coupon agents, effective July 20th, making the World's Fair rates about five dollars less for the round than heretofore. This rate will be gratifying to the many patrons of the great system, and as a further evidence that they are always given advantage oi the very lowest rates available. The R. & D. is a first-class passenger line, and its agents are always ready and glad to provide tickets to all points at the very lowest possible rates. Do you like to wear the latest style hafs ? Do you like to trade where they have the largest stock at right prices ? then go to C. F. Jooes & Co's. Clothing Store, their hats take the lead in Anderson, Cedar Grove. We are having plenty of rain now, and at this writing it feels like we are going to have a September gale. Cotton is doing fine through this sec? tion. We will make 80 por cent of a crop of cotton and 75 per cent of corn. Our farmers Bhould not neglect sowing turnip need, when the ground gets sea? sonable. The church at this place has been great? ly blessed. The protracted meeting closed last Sunday. There were thirteen additions to the churcb. The Rev. Mosers. Hays, Brown and Cann assisted the pastor. On Thursday night before the second Sunday in September the meeting will commence again and con' tinue through Sunday. One of our young men :rot badly left the other night. He took his girl out and placed her in his buggy, with the inten? tion of carrying her home, and then went for his mule, when he found it bad brok? en loose and gone home. We have not heard how be got home but some of the boys say he made a very good mule him? self. It has been agreed to erect an Alliance ginhouse in this section, and everything is in place for its erection. It will be lo? cated near Mr. A. Mahaffey's, and will be managed by Mr. M. C. Mahaffey.

A crowd of-young people from this community went over to Piedmont on a pleasure trip last Thursday, and while over there went up to the McKenzie farm, where so much damage is being done by grasshoppers. They are killing them very fast now by building fires around the fields and taking brush and driving them into the fire. We were told that they killed about fifteen bushels one day last week. * Mr. Perrin Prince and sister, Miss Lil lie, from Pickens, are visiting relatives in this community this week. Miss Maggie Dunlap and Miss Olivia Lowe, from Mohawk, are visiting their cousin, Miss Mamie Callaham. The young people, especially the young men, are trying to make their trip an enjoyable one. Bad Boy. Obituary, Died, at her home near Williamston, on the 7th inst., Mrs. Carrie Rogers, wife of James F. Rogers, and daughter of the late J. W. Poore, of Anderson County, age 40 years. This godly woman was noted for her piety, having professed religion in early childhood, and her walk since then has been close with God. Death is always sad, but it seems that the death of this truly Christian lady is peculiarly sad, and it has thrown a gloom over the entire community. She leaves a husband, four little children; two step children and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn her loss, but while we mourn we shall ever remember that "precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints," and we mourn not as those who have no hope. It was to my own spiritual edifica? tion to know this saintly woman for years before her departure, and she leaves every evidence of a Hying faith in Christ JesuB, and the day before she died her pastor talked with her on the subject of her spir? itual welfare, and just as a babe leaning on the bosom of its mother, she said "I am trusting." May God in his boundless mercy so comfort and direct the husband and children, brothers and sisters, who so deeply feel her loss tbat they, too, may follow; in her footsteps and be ready when the summons comes for them to meet her in the sweet fields of Eden on the other side of the flood, where parting will be no more. After appropriate funeral services, conducted by Rev. R. W. Burts, her re? mains were laid away in Big Creek cem? etery to wait the resurrection morn. Asleep'in Jesus, blessed sleep, From whioh none ever wake to weep, A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes. A Frixnd. ? Theodore Roosevelt thinks that the finest hunting ground in America was and still is the mountainous region of Western Montana and Northwestern Wyoming. In this high, cold land of lofty mountains, deep forests and open prairies, with its beautiful lakes and rapid riyora, all the species of big game are fairly plentiful. Among the big game hunted by Mr. Roosevelt are the pronghorn antelope, the bighorn or mountain sheep, the white goat, the cari? bou, the wapiti or round-horned elk, the moose, the grizzley bear, the couger or mountain lion and the wolf. ? The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette last Saturday published wood cuts of seven "types of Southern beauty." The fair women were Misses Leila L. Chisolm, of South Carolina; Caroline Gordon, of Georgia; Tbeodosia Cantwell, of North Carolina ; Lizzie I. S. Clarke, of Virgin la ; Nellie Fewell, of Mississippi; Alary Ninse Banks, of Texas, and Lizzie Mo Gee, of Arkansas.
