On Monday morning at about 8 o'clock
Mr. J. A. Welch 's dwelling bouse in the
eastern part of the city caught fire and was
quickly burned to the ground, though it
was raining at the time and the fire com?
panies hurried to the rescue on the alarm
being sounded. The wind was blowing at
a furious rate and t?e flames were so in?
tense that their work of destruction was
soon completed. Some furniture was
saved, as the fire started in the second
story. We hear that the loss will amount
to $1,000 or $1,200, with insurance of $900.
John G. Hall, of Corner Township, died
on Saturday, August 19tb, at 2 o'clock.
Mr. Hall went to Southwest Georgia a
short time ago, where he contracted ma?
larial fever, hut recovered sufficiently to
return home. The immediate cause of his
death was a congestive chill. Mr. Hall
was 68 years of age, and had lived in the
Corner all his life. He was a member of
the Rocky River Baptist Church for a
long time. He was a good citizen and
neighbor. He leaves a wife and ten chil?
dren to mourn their loss. He was buried
at Cook's Station, in the Methodist ceme?
tery, on Sunday, Rev. Calvin Pressley
officiating.
The annual parade and Inspection of the
Anderson Fire Department will take place

hope a large crowd will witness it. The
Firemen do a noble work for their city.
In heat, in cold, in storm, in darkness, at
all times, they respond with wonderful
promptness to every alarm and work like
men against the fierce and furious flames.
Many are tho self sacrifices they make
that go unknown and unpraised and un?
rewarded by the people of who?e property
they are the guardians. They are.noble
fellows, and fearless of danger and work.
The city appreciates their generous ser?
vices and honors them for it. Long live
the Firemen!
Rev. J. M. Todd, of Due West, died of
consumption last Friday evening. He
was a member of tbe Faculty of Erskine
College and ably filled tbe chair of Latin
and French. He was a gentleman of
scholarly attainments and was deeply in?
terested in the work of education. He
was an earnest Christian, and there are
many in this County whose hearts have
grown warm under his appeals from tbe
pulpit for tbe cause of Christ, and all who
knew him will lament tbe loss of a man so
useful to Church and State. For four years
i the writer enjoyed tbe privileges or bis
instruction, and no less did onr Christian
Professor pray than the Psalmist, "So
teach us to number our days, that we
may apply our hearts unto wisdom."
The Hartwell Sun says : "Tbe fishermen
are unusually successful this season, and
there are more fish being caught from Sa?
vannah River than for years. Randolph
Simpson caught two bluecats in his basket
Saturday that weighed about twenty-five
pounds. Mr. Jas. Cason caught twelve
bluecats in one basket Monday morning
aggregating fitty pounds, and Mr. W. M.
Johnson caught tbe same day thirty-five
pounds in one basket. Mr. Will Harper
says a fish jumped up out of the river
while he was down there the other day, and
when it fell back in tbe water sounded
like the falling of an immense dead tree.
It is perhaps necessary to state in this
connection that Will has been a regular
attendant upon campmeeting, protracted
meetings and Presbytery this season."
The Greenville News says: "Citizen
Joshua Ashley, of Anderson, appears to
have tbe longest head in the Tillman
crowd, from the Governor down. He was
here tbe other day when the Langford ha?
beas corpus case was being argued before
Judge Simonton, and when be had listen?
ed to tbe arguments be said that tbe twen?
ty-fifth section would be knocked out as
surely as the sun would rise next day,
and recalled the fact that he had warned
the Legislature of It last December. That is
the cold truth, too. He was about tbe
only man of his party who had the sense
to see or the courage to say that when the
25th section got into the United States
Court it would not hold two minutes, His
prediction came true exactly."
The weather bureau on Saturday pre?
dicted gales on tbe coast of the South At?
lantic States for Saturday and Sunday.
Anderson is by no means on the coast but
she received a full share of the gales Sab?
bath night and Monday morning never?
theless. All day Sabbath the wind was
high, but from about midnight until after
daylight Monday there was a severe gale
blowing most of the time, and at times it
seemed to be little less than a hurricane.
Considerable damage was done in a small
way, suoh as blowing down fences, a few
trees, many limbs, and injury to the cot?
ton and corn crops. A few houses suffered
to. some extent, none seriously. There
was a good deal of alarm among tbe peo?
ple, and many of them slept but little
while the gale lasted.
The gales that blew go fiercely here and
in other places in the cp country Sabbath
night were harmless compared to tbe
manner in which Charleston, Savannah,
Jacksonville and other coast cities were
treated. Columbia had a severe experi?
ence. A number of houses were partially
unroofed and many trees blown down.
Charleston was badly damaged and it was
not until Tuesday morning that anything
could be heard from there, as the wires
were all down and no trains were run?
ning. In Savannah the hurricane blew
at the rates of seventy-Bix miles an hour
for a time. Tbe damage was great to life
and property. Seventeen lives were re?
ported lost and there may be others.
Eleven vessels wore ashore and several
were wrecked outside of the harbor.
Crops are reported injured considerably
wherever the storm prevailed.
Mr. C. Wardlaw and family returned on
last Thursday from their trip out West.
He reports a very pleasant trip, and says

much. On his trip he met a good many
former Andorsonians, among them were

M. Brown, Harry Brown, Dr. John
Brown,' D. V. Seigler and their families.
He reports them all as doing well and
pleased with tueir Western homes. Mr.
Wardlaw eaye tbe crops in most places
are very short, but in some sections very
fine. He sayc that he saw the finest farm?
ing lands that he has ever seen, and says
that is the place for the poor man with a
large family. But he says he has not
found any place of perfection. All have
their advantages and disadvantages, but
in different proportions.

The following is an extract from a pri?
vate letter from Rev. M. L. Frierson, of
Oraoge, Texas, to his brother, Dr. D. E.
Frierson, giving a description of an im?
mense saw mill in that State:
"It would iuterest?not to say daze you
?to visit one of these saw mills. The
great logs come up like leviathans from
th-i river on tbe back of a hog-chain. A
fellow touches a handle and the great log
is canted on to ihe carriage. A steam
"nigger"?a great wooden beam with a
cast iron head?rises up ftom the depths
below and literally "bulk" it into place,
sending a sixty-foot log two or three feet
in the air and landing it on the saw car?
riage, and then bitting it two or three lat?
eral blows, like a battering ram, that
might fell a feudal castle wall. Another
handle is touched by the sawyer?wages
$7.00 a day?and tbe carriage darts for?
ward to the whirling saw, five feet in di?
ameter, revolving so rapidly that a stream
of water falling on it is instantly vapor?
ized. A loud and furious scream, a plank
is sawed as quick as you would cut a
smooth shaving from a cypress shingle,
and the steam "nigger" again administers
his blow, turning the log over deftly and
butting in place with almost human sa?
gacity, when it rushes back, another
scream, another plank. These planks
fall from tbe saw on rollers, aud go hust?
ling off as if some one' were after them.
As tbey go sharp saws, 'flashing like scim
etars, up from below, cut with a single
stroke the moving plank, scantliag3, &c.,
in exact length, which are caught by roll?
ers and ohains runuing at right aogleB to
their first course, scattering like a flock of
chickens when a hawk gets among them.
Some pieces go one hundred ysrdB from
where tbey were sawed before tbey are
delivered to their sorted piles. In all this
time no human hand has touched a piece
of lnmber. The mill seems to be a great,
throbbing, heaving automaton, with in?
telligence to do the most difficult and di?
verse tasks most perfectly and promptly.
Sometimes a large log is cat up in three
minutes.and distributed in sorted lum?
ber, while the refuse, dust and slabs
Beats of learning a generation ago?and
block8 all fall below into a trough with a
cleated, endless obain running through it,
and reaching one hundred feet into tbe
river, and fifty feet above a mountain pile
of ashes and charred refuse, whose base is
thirty feet under water, and whose head
reaches twenty five feet above water, a
great mass of burning wood. Day and
night these fires burn. Five of them in a
mile on tbe river (crescent shaped here)
purify the air and make the place healthy
?30 tbey say and so I hope it will prove.
The salt breeze from the ocean is very
oool and refreshing. Ships come up the
river to this point, aud the white sails and
tall masts are never out of sight."

Tbe dosing exercises of the Dorchester
school, taught by Miss Maggie Grobbs,
came off last Tuesday. A very pretty
program had been arranged, and it was
carried out in such a manner as to reflect
credit on teacher and pupils. The pro?
gram consisted of speeches, songs and
dialogues. At the close of the exercises
all were invited to partake of the bounti?
ful feast spread by the kind ladies of tbe
neighborhood. The patrons of this school
have been very fortunate in having Miss
Maggie Grubbs to teach for them, I
think they have just cause to feel proud
of teacher and pupils. All seemed to
spend the day very pleasantly.
Those desiring to rent or buy a cheap
house with five rooms, and very convenr
lent to the school in Belton, might do
well to call on Mr, Preston Willingham
