Mr. Adams says that there is cot a stalk of cotton left on the half acre, but strange to say what little graes was in the cotton Is left standing green and fresh. It is said that nothing will grow on land that has been strnck by lightning for three or four years thereafter." On Thursday of Jast week Mrs. Vicy Quails passed peacefully from life in this world to that higher and better life that awaits the Christian on the other Bide of the river of death. Mrs. Quails. had passed her 75th birthday, and had been a consecrated and consistent member of the Sandy Springs Church since she was fif? teen years old. Her remains were in? terred in the "city of the dead" at Sandy Springs, Rev. 0. B. Burns conducting the ? service. The Anderson County Teachers' Insti? tute met at the P. M. I. building on Mon? day morning at 10 o'clock. The Institute was promptly called to order by School Commissioner Rossel3. After an excel? lent address by that veteran teacher, Dr. S. Lander, Prof Albert took charge and proceeded at once to the work of the In? stitute. We felt , at once that the work was to be conducted by a master workman. His talks on physical and mental culture and the use of language have been clear, strong and logical. Prof. Sheridan con? ducts the geography and htetory depart? ments, and Miss McCants the departments ~ of reading and primary arithmetic There are about seventy-five teachers present, nearly all of whom are females. All seem . deeply interested and no donbt will be ^ywuy bexeflted by their pr eence at the The many friends of Mr. William Calla ham, who resides in the upper part of this County, near Mt. Plsgah Church, sympa? thize with him in the loss of bis beloved wife, Mrs. Rese Callaham, who died at his home on the 4th of July lost., at the .advanced age of 75 years. All who knew her loved her. She possessed a pleasant und genial disposition. Her remains were laid to rest In the Mt. Pisgah Churoh yard on the 5th inst., after appropriate fu? neral services conducted by Bev. D. W. Hiott Mrs. Callaham had been a consis? tent member of the Baptist Church for many years. The July Cosmopolitan marks the close of the first year since the revolutionary announcement was made that the price of that magazine, already low, bad been cut to ooe-balf of three dollars a year. All sorts of predictions hive come to be unful? filled during the year?it would be impos aible to maintaia tbe rate?the quality would be lowered?the size would be decreased. But even severe critics admit that with each succeeding number there has been a betterment in tbe quality of articles and illustrations, and the size has remained unchanged, except tbe always growing advertising pages. Tbe maga? zine printed, for the six months embraced io Volume xvl, one million fjar hundred and nineteen thousand copies, an entirely onapproacbed record, and has doubled its already large plant of presses and binding machinery. Tbe walls of the magazine's new home are rapidly rising at Irvirgton on-tbe Hudson. Artistically designed by MoKim, Mead <fc White, the new building, with itc eight great porticos, will be 279 feet long by 76 feet wide, and one of the most perfectly lighted buildings in the world, having 160 large windows, each nearly doublo tbe size of the ordinary win? dow opening. One day last week on Mr. Robt. A. BreazeaJe's farm, in Garvin Township, a negro by the name of Reed Howard was ploughing. A small cloud stood over tbe rield. While Reed was standing at the mule's side fixing the trace chain, which be had. loosed from the logger-head, a 8 ;roke of lightning came. It struck the mule, entering, as stated by one. the right ear of the mule, passing through its head and neck, and coming out on the left side of tlae neck under the collar, tearing a con? siderable hole in the mule's neck. Of osurse the mule was instantly killed. The negro was standing with the trace in his hand. The electrio current passed from the mule to the negro. Part of it went down the trace chain to the earth, the other portion passed down tbe negro's .leg, tearing the pant's leg on the outside and inside, and flaying tbe outer skin on the inside of the leg. Reed was knocked senseless and fall, the mule falling with its h sad across him. His friends carried him to the house. .. After about fifteen minutes he recovered from the shook and is now going about is usual. It seems, to have been conoeded that lightning does not lac? erate flesh, but in tins case it did. The seme current struck a pine tree some dis? tance from the negro, and before it struck bim. The following is taken from the Times, of Altoona, Pa.: ''At 10.30 o'clock yester? day morning, July. 2, Bev. J. E. Irvine, of the Third Presbyterian Church.-united in boly wedlock Miss Samuella Brown, of Anderson, S. 0 , and Captain George G. Bosser, of Richmond, Va. The ceremony tcok place at tbe hospitable residence of Mr. H. 8." MoFarlin, 814 Third avenue, where Miss Brown has made bar home for some time, cind was exceedingly pretty and impressive and witnessed only by a few immediate friends, the bride being at ti-ed in a beautiful travelling costume, presenting a most attractive appearance. After the service and congratulations were over, a charming breakfast was served and nothing .was left undone by Mr. and Mrs. McFarUa to make it an occasion to be recalled with pleasure and on day ex? press Captaic, and Mrs. Bosser left for Richmond, where they will reside in the future. Miss Brown was at tbe head of the millinery department in Cook, Sal mond & Cowden's great store, wbero ?he won hosts of friends and admirers by her winning manner and remarkably artistio skill as a trimmer, the Arm parting with her with deep regret,- and she carried away with, her, to her far off Southern home, the good wiohes and hearty con? gratulations of all who knew her.

They have not only neglected to write, but they have neglected to read what is written. There is a deplorable lack of knowl? edge of State history and of local his? tory." This is especially trne in our own State. The number of children in our public Bchools who study United Statos history ia more than double those who study South Carolina history. Our schools have been almost criminally neg? ligent in the matter of teaching the his? tory of our own State. There -has been until recently some reason for this state of things. We have had no text-book on South Carolina his? tory entirely adapted to the school room, giving at the same time a full and inter? esting and impartial record of events. But this difficulty has been overcome. The history written by John A. Chap? man, of Newberry, and .adopted for use in the public school?, of the State by the State board meets a long felt want We have received and examined a copy of the book and are free to say that it is the best school history of the State yet published. The chapters are well ar? ranged and the history of the Stato is clearly and accurately written. The book is copiously illustrated and contains a food and accurate up-to-date map of the t?te, and as an appendix has the history of the great seal and the State constitu? tion with all amendments. It is well printed and strongly bound and in every way well adapted for use in the school room. It contains 300 pages and retails for only 75-centsu copy. We hope and believe that it will find a place in the course of stndy in every school in Anderson County. It is essen? tial that every child should learn the his? tory of his own State and in no v/ay can this be better don e by using Chapman's history. The first edition was published by Aull <fe Houseal, Newberry', S. C., but it is now published by Everett Waddey Co., Richmond, Va. Mr. E. H. Anil, Editor of the New berry Herald and News, ia the South Carolina representative of the publishers. Honea Path. The Glorious Fourth passed off unob? served. In regard to the political situation, ev? erybody seems, by their actions, to say, "hands off." Miss Anna Monroe, now of Princeton, is visiting her school "chums" here. She hates for the timo to come to leave, so she says. Miss Ida Brock spent two weeks in Anderson with her sister, Mrs. H. K. Sullivan. She deserves a long rest, as she is always at her post in the La? dies' Store. Here is a piece of good advice: Sow peas on your stubble land. The news of the drowning of Maj. E. B. Murray was received here with universal sorrow. Mies Mamie Mattison, of Birmingham, Ala., is out spending a month or bo with T filftti v8s? Rev. R. W. Burts filled the Baptist pulpit Sunday evening. His sermons are always short and to the point. The potracted meeting will begin here in the Baptist church Saturday. C. E. Burts will do the preaching. Sow peas, sow turnips and plant a late roast.it g-ear patch. ' M." A. Kay, who baa just, gotten over a spell of fever, is now preambulating around on a set of 'weak limbs, and will soon be all right again. In a competitive game of lawn tennis between Honea Path and Piedmont Honea Path carried off the medal. Messrs. L. A. and C. J. Brock, our play? ers, are "long, keen, good ones." . We will promise all candidates from this side of the County who announce themselves in the Intelligekcer a "puff," provided we know anything about them. Who wants the first one ? Dr. J. T. MoBryde, the newly elected pastor of the Presbyterian Church, filled his appointment last Sabbath. His con? gregation was well pleased with his first sermon. It will be remembered that they have changed their day of preaching from the fourth to the second Sabbath. Messrs. Watkins, Payne tfc Moore are preparing to make brick during the Summer. A capital idea it is, as brick are always in great demand at good prices. We are a good hand at giving advice: Sow turnips. They come nicely for ta? ble use just when yon cannot get any? thing else to eat The recent rain has revived all vege? tation, especially corn, which there seemed no hope for, has .taken on new color and bids fair to make nearly a full crop. Cotton is as fine as usual for the time of the year. Misses Fannie and Sallie Watkins and Leia Moore returned home yesterday after spending a montth down the coun? try with relatives. They look as bright and gay as a bran now silver half dollar. By the way, they will go to Laurens with Prof. Watkins. We always hate to lose good citizens, but when it oomes to bur young ladies we can ill afford to lose them under any circumstances. We bone, however, they will better them? selves. It has been officially known for the past two weeks that Prof. J. B. Watkins, principal: of the Honea Path School, had placed his resignation in the hands of the trustees. Both town and country regret this move on the part of the Professor. His place as a good, all-around citizen wilPbe hard to fill, especially the school room, of which he is master. We com? mend him to the citizens of Laurens as simple, unassuming and courteous?say? ing nothing of his good looks and digni? ty?standing on the top round of his pro? fession, and just the kind of a man need? ed in every community to advance its moral standard. For years mnch has been said about the formation of a new County, with Honea Path as the County Seat. We have never said much about it in our communications, because it had no finan? cial backing, but as time has drifted us on we feel more and more in need of a County Seat every day. Being situated in the extreme corner of Anderson Coun? ty our business extends into four Coun? ties, viz: Anderson, Abbeville, Laurens and Greenville. The nearest is eighteen miles away, and the furthest thirty-five miles. Now, could we not all come to? gether within the proposed radius and of? fer such inducements?by subscription only?as would be necessary to try the experiment Belton Items. Mrs. John Carter and three children, of Gainesville, Ga., and her sister, Mrs. Weaver, of Westminister, S. C, passed through Belton last Thursday on a visit to their sister, Mrs. Joe Neville, of Wil? liamston. Mrs. Carter and the children passed through this place on Tuesday of this week on their return to Gainesville. Miss Carrie SulUvan, of Abbeville, is on a visit to her aunt, Mrs. Major Wil? liams, of this place. Miss Carrie is a deservedly popular young lady, and one of South Carolina's best teachers. It will be remembered that Miss Carrie and Miss Mary, the prospective missionary to China, are Bisters. They are both very excellent young ladies. Rev. Mr. Earle filled his regular ap? pointment here last Sunday, preaching a good sermon, both morning and evening. Belton was shocked at the sad intelli ence of the death of Major Murray. everal of onr Belton people went to Anderson to pay their tripute of respect, and to condole with the bereaved family. Rev. J. T. Smith and family did not get off to Dnblin, Ga., this week as they expected. They expect to get off next week. Rev. H. T. Smith had the misfortune to have a runaway last Saturday near Fountain Inn. He and Dr. S. S. Knight were riding out in a road cart, when the cart broke and dropped down, breaking the leg of Dr. Knight, skinning and bruising the hands of Mr. Smith and damaging the horse. Mr. Ed. Cox, of Darlington, is on a visit to relatives and frienda in oar town. We are always glad to see Mr. Cox in our midst The "Little Gleaners" had a very pleasant entertainment at the building of the Belton High School last night, Tues? day, the 10th inst ?, Reunion of Co. ??F.? The Survivors or Co, "F," 24th Regi? ment, 8. C. V., will hold their annual re? union at Cook's Station, on Wednesday, 18th inst The Committee appointed to make the necessary preparations for the meeting and secure speakers for the occa? sion is composed of the following gentle? men : R. P. Cllnkscalea, G. F. Burditt, Wm? Shaw, J. 0. McKee, J. W. Stewart, R. A. Gray and G. A. Craft. The Survi? vors desire the presence of all their friends, and the ladies especially, on this occasion. The Committee will leave nothing undone that will tend to make the day and occa? sion pleasant and agreeable to our friends. The ladies will please remember the well filled dinner basket J. B, LEVBRErrr, Secretary. - Holland'? Store. The rains have been fine since we last wrote you, and crops, of course, are flourishing-. Our farmers have had their hands full?the grass has jnt tried itself, but we are about getting to where we can see through. We had some pretty severe winds, but no s?rious damage has been done. The rains have been all that we could have asked. The health of our community is com? paratively good. Mrs. J. M. Cardin, of Hart County, Ga., is visiting her daughter in this com? munity at present. Mrs. Kate Reeder, of Texas, is spend? ing awhile with her daughter, Mrs. Hol? land. Miss Lena Brownlee, of Abbeville, is visiting relatives and friends in this neighborhood. Miss Bettie Earle and brother, Rev. Wilton R. Earle, have returned from a trip to Wideman's, S. C. Miss Mamie Thornton, of Hart well, Ga., attended worship at Shiloh last Sun? day. We notice your Sandy Flat correspon? dent mentions the preaching of Mrs. King, and winds np by asking the opin K-\of some Bible reader on the subject. Wvthink woman has missed her calling and is entirely out of her sphere, when she goes on the rostrum, and ltseems to us that proper woman modesty ought to be a sufficient barrier to keop her out of a man's place, to sav nothing of what Paul said on the subject. We venture there was not a man in attendance on her preaching but was glad she was not his motbjr, sister or wife. When woman lays aside her God-given, and God-in teuded modesty, one of you may truth? fully say her strongest' charm is gone. In Apostolio times men did the preach? ing, and all along down through the ages they were considered the proper ones to stand on Zion's walls, but in these days of thought, it seems to be the desire of many to supplant everything that is orthodox, and even Christ himself, with something that suits their little whims. We will not quote any Scripture bearing on the subject now, as that is not what the general advocate of woman preachers relishes. Followers of the t meek and lowly Jesus, be on your guard. The devil, transformed into an angel of light, is seeking through fair forms and sweet Bounding names to betray you and your church'33 with a kiss. Be on your guard. The "thirty pieces of silver" are powerful to mislead some still. Be faith I ful to the trust oar Lord left us, to the cause you represent, and to the faith deliver 3d to the saints; and above all, I maintain the unity He prayed for, and five all would-be men-females a wide erth. It is with unuterable sadness that-we receive the news of the untimely death of Major Murray. We sincerly sympathize with the bereaved family in this un? speakable deluge of sorrow. We con? sider ourself too feeble to attempt to offer a single tribute to the carreer of Mr. Murray. He will live in the hearts of his countrymen long after this generation has passed from the field of action. Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the north wind's breath, And stars to set?but all? Thou hast all seasons for thine own, 0. Death. ? Long Branch Items* Rain! rain! rain! At this writing it continues to rain and the grass continues to grow. The farmers are getting badly behind with their work. General Green is attracting more attention than Gen. Butler or Tillman, either. Well, there is more money in fighting the grass than in fighting Butler or Tillman. The farmers are not much enthused on politics. Per? haps when the great agitator or reformer, as some call him, reaches this portion of the State he will wake things up. He told us four years ago that we poor farmers were oppressed by what he called the old ring, and said that we must come out from un? der the yoke, and we roBe up in our might and said that we would, and we did. But we still plow, Bet we still row, And we still hoe, And we are still poor, And now we are getting a little sore. Well, Mr. Tillman has discovered an? other ring that is oppressing we farmers, and I suppose if we send him to the IT. S. Senate he will crush out this ring which is oppressing so many of us I heard a farmer say some time ago that he had farmed for twenty years, and no one came along to tell him he was oppressed. I notice through the newspapers that there is a big strike among the railroad em? ployees of the Northwest, which has caus? ed the price of bacon to advance, and va? rious other things. I move that the farm? ers of the South go on a strike, and quit raising cotton for the next two years, and raise hog and hominy, and stop fighting for the different offices. Ask Mr. J. S.Bagsdalehow many firm? ers there are in Anderson County who want an'office. Several of us are talking of going to the mountains to spend a few days as soon as we get through work, if our wives don't talk us out of it. My wife has not said yet whether I could go or not. Of course I can't go without her consent. The Long Branch High School, taught by Miss Lizzie Brock, of Honea Path, will open on next Monday, the 16th inst.
