I^&ndersoii Intelligencer. PUBLISHED EVERT WEDNESDA 7. J. P. CLTNKSCALES,) Editors and C. C, LANGSTON, J Pbopriet?bs. TERMS: ONE YEAR.._.$1 60 SIX MONTHS ._ 75 WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 1894. The present aeasioa of Congress bids Sr to be ono of the Ion crest on record. ".. Tventy-seven States elect Governors oxl fall, and the legislators then chosen vlll tako part in tba election of 35 United at'is Senators. Tho Louisiana Legislature ha3 just ?ted a bill appropriating money to erect lonument to a negro mau who bad apa & vast amount of good among the eppie of Ms race. This, we presume, ?iU be termed another "Southern out 4- rage."_^ t ^_ The attention of New England women sn?raglsts Las been called to tho face that the lato Miss Abby Smith, of Glaston \ bury, Conn., for many years refused to pay her taxes because she did not have a ?vote. There are some men just mean enough to wish they had no vote, so that they might make the same sort of i excuse. ? m m mi _?;?; ; The very men who declare vociferously 1 against bonds of any and all kinds are the orator* who are clamoring loudly for gov? ernment ownership of the railroads. It is quite evident that their quaint ideas oJTjustice and progress lead to outright confiscation of the roads and down? right robbery of their owners, since /?the only o*her way for the government to got them is to buy them by the issue of . bonds. _ The meeting of the State Reform Com K mlttee In Columbia last week resulted In . a victory for th9 John. Gary Evans ele? ment, and the reform convention will be : hold according to the original plans, con? trary to the alleged wishes of the other ^dictates who desired to run in the ?moral Democratic primaries. Only >ur. members favored calling off the invention, and Senator Glenn, of-this Jounty, was one of that number. The ite of the convention was changed to Lugust 18, and the County Conven? tions to August 13. So the lawyer rmdidatehas downed tho farmer candi Iates. _ . __ The senseless strike and boy oott of the ruerieun. Railway .Union having, been averted into an c>p?n rebellion against p government, the end is close at hand, law is suprem e Through the regu jonstltuted authorities the wishes of lie'immense orderly and law-abiding yority of American citizens are mak? ing felt their resentment against mob law d the suppression of trade and traffic 'roe institutions Imply the right of a man o work lawfully when and where he 'leases or to do what he lawfully may 1th his own, and they are coming out of eir momentous ordeal unscathed and triumphant. The strikers in Chicago and 'Jlsowheae had a perfect right to stop work if they chose to . do so. The reasons which, determined them must, n their opinion, have been sufficient, f this they had the right to judge. Mr. oilman may have treated Ms men rshly and their condition in conse uenee of that treatment may have been uchas to,entitle them to the sympathy f ?he oountry. Admitting all they al ege as to their treatment and situation be true, does that, give them the right interfere with the new men, as honest, worthy and as necessitous as them? selves, and anxious and willing to work in the places abandoned by them for the wages they rejected, who may be em? ployed by Mr. Pullman and the railroad nies ? And is not this interference finitely worse in them than the reduc ion in their wages, under all the circara? nees, was in Mr. Pullman? And are dt the new men, prevented by this in? ference from earning bread forthem lyes and families, more entitled to the mcatbyof the public than they are? man may determine to commit suicide by starvation, but Ms determination doe-< notgive Mm the right to starve other people. The instant he manifests a pur? pose to attempt it the government should interfere, and adequate measures should bo token to prevent it It is something of thia kind which the strikers are trying to do. They are starving themselves and are striving apparently to impose starva? tion on. the men who have taken their places. - mm * mm an enjoyable trip. If there is a person on earth who enjoys n trip of pleasure and recreation more than a hard-worked newspaper man, and receives more benefit, mentally and physically, therefrom, we have never yet formed Ms or her 'acquaintance. We re? turned home last week from a two weeks' trip of this sort, and throughout; it was one continuous day of pleasure and sight? seeing. Por the time being we literally put away newspapers,' Carolina politics and thought of hard times and hard -works from our mind, determined to have a good time, and we succeeded in accomplishing that purpose. Wo could devote several columns of the Intelu qebceb to relating the many p'eassmt incidents of our trip and describing the beauties and attractions of the several noted resorts we visited in Virginia, but time and space forbids, and we will only speak of it in a general way. On this trip we were fortunate in having as our companion that princo of good fellows and model journalist, Mr. Hugh Wilson, editor of the Abbeville Press and Bt in? ner. Leaving home we went to Abbeville and there joined Bro. Wilson. At 5 p. ra. the same day we boarded the north bound Seaboard Air Line Vestibule, and next morning, at 9 o'clock, landed ear ely at Portsmouth, Va. We immediately boarded the ferry boat and crossed to Norfolk, where we made our headqt ar i, and from there visited the several arts which we will mention below. Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, West Norfolk and several other sutur? ban ports and points of commercial industries are practically one dty. though, \ve~btlievereach has its own municipal government. Por a distance of probably fifty or seventy-five miles north of Nor? folk the country is low and flat, and is icetly devoted to truck farming, the crops being potatoes and peanuts. The former crop Is now being marketed, and is being sold at fl.50 to S2.C0 a barrel. The peanut crop comes in later, and is perhaps the most valuable crop tc the farmers. Here the finest peanuts in the world are grown. On every side you can see vast fields of peanuts, and they aro cultivated with as much care as our cotton crop. The annual yield of these truck farms, we were told, aggregate five I or six million dollars. Norfolk's exports aggregated last year more than $10,000, ooo, and she received and Bhipped about a half million bales of cotton. All of this of course indicates a prosperous section of country. From Norfolk three of the most popu? lar and fanbionable resorts?Old Point Comfort, Virginia Beach and Ocean View ?on the eouth Allantio coast are easily reached, and are liberally patronised throughout the summer. Old Point Comfort, located at the month of Chesapeake Bay, 12 miles from Norfolk, is an historic resort. It has two magnificent hotels, and numbers of large boarding bouses. Its attractions are varied, and perhaps its most notable Is Fortress Monroe, one of the heaviest for? tifications in our country. Within the walls of this Fort are magnificent drives and beautiful shade trees, surrounded by green lawns. Virginia Beach Is about 20 miles from Norfolk, on the Atlantic Ocean, .be? tween Capes Henry and Hatteras and is reached by railroad from Norfolk, through a country fall of beauty and : intejeet to the visitor. Trains leave Nor folk every hour for this place. There are Siaite a number of attractions ut this amoua resort. Persons who enjoy surf bathing and ?shing can spend a lire-time of pleasure here. It, too, has a maguiti cent hotel. Ocean View Is located on Chesapeake Bay, and is within 20 minutes' ride from Norfolk via railroad, and offers numer? ous attractions to the. seeker after com? fort and ease. It is a very popular resort for women and children, who enjoy its su rf bathing. At all three of the above resorts a fine band is engaged for the season, which, of course, add** to the pleasnres of the visi? tor, who can enjoy himself all day by listening to the sweet strains of music. Time passed qnickly with as at these places, and our only regret was that we could not spend the summer at all of them. Guests at these points have ample opportunity of visiting the Naval Yard and U. S. Naval Hospital, both of which are located at Portsmouth and are inter? esting to the visitor. At all these places we formed many new acquaintances, who treated as with the utmost courtesy and that genuine old Virginia hospitality that we have so often heard the old sol? diers speak of. From Norfolk oar next point of desti? nation was Washington, D. 0., two hun? dred miles up .the Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River. Between the points named the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company ran two new mam? moth iron palace steamers every day, making the trip in eleven hoars. This waa oar route, and, leaving Norfolk at 6 p. in., we landed at Washington at 7 a. m. Mr. D. J. Callabam is the represen? tative of this line at Norfolk. The route of these 8 tea mors takes the passengers through many historical points so mem? orable to the American people, and is a most novel and interesting trip. The steamers are elegantly furnished and equipped, and they are completed in every detail so perfectly as to make dan {jer practically Impossible. They are ighted with incandescent electric lights and with a separate light and call bell in each room. No expense has been spared to make the different compartments as attractive and home-like as is possible for them to be,, and the ouislne is the finest that Washington and Norfolk mar? kets can afford. The staterooms have every convenience and are famished throughout in a luxuriant and liberal manner. The entire crew, from Captain down to the porter, are extremely cour? teous and attentive to their passengers. In Washington we spent several days most interestingly. Every time a per? son visits Washington he can see some? thing new and interesting. Oar old friend, Jas. M. Baker, formerly of Lowndes ville, bat who now holds the res? ponsible position of Librarian for the Senate, was on the lookout for us and soon after oar arrival had us in charge. .Mr. Baker has recently moved his family there and is now keeping house. Mrs. Baker is a most charming woman, and friend Baker is most happily situated, with three bright little boyo to care for. His brother, Mr. Gibbes Baker, is also in Washington, where he is taking a course in a Business College. We alar had the pleasure of meeting Congressman Lalti mer and his excellent wife and happy children, who are living in a most desira? ble portion of the city. Mr. Lattimeris sticking close to his post of duty, and is doing his best fox bis constituents. To ; him and the Messrs. Baker we are in? debted for many courtesies extended to us. We witnessed the closing scenes and final vote on the tariff bill in the Senate, on Tuesday, 3rd inst, and it was most interesting. The galleries were crowded from 10 a. m. to II p. m., and everybody seemed deeply interested in the contest that was waging. The Republicans, as? sisted by Hill, of New York, used every tactic to defeat the bill, bat the Demo? crats met them at every step and finally secured a vote after sevenll months of hard fighting. When the final vote was announced the spectators gave vent to their feelings by loud cheering. On the 4th July we got a glimpse of Coxey's army, as they paraded through the streets, and we'ware not disappointed in its appearance. The army is com? posed of dirty vagabonds and tramps, nearly all of whom are boys and young men, who would not do a day's work at any price, for the simple reason that they are not "built that way." Bat we must bring this.discursive ar? ticle to a close. We returned home feel? ing greatly benefited by oar trip. A ride over the Seaboard Ahr Lino Road is a pleasure Itself. This road la splendidly equipped and the roadbed cannot be ex? celled in the South. It passes through an interesting lection of country and is almost as straight as an arrow. The gen? eral manager and his co-workers are doing their best to win the approval of their patrons, and they are succeding, Th3 next time you go to Washington take our advice and go via the Seaboard Air Line to Norfolk and then to Washington on one of the elegant steamers of the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company.: It will prove a novel and in? teresting trip. ' , Chaatanqua, H. T. Editors Intelligencer: Chautauqua was originally an old fashioned Metbo dint Campground like Sandy Springs, with Its pare water, shady groves and primitive mode of worship. Now, in the course of progress, it is a small city in the summer, and has city ways, ushering in the Sabbath and religion? servica with tha melody of chimes. Bat the good Bishop Vincent has kept up its purity by excluding the ball-room from its fine ho? tel, whiskey from its grounds, mails and secular work on Sunday, so that the Sab? bath is, Indeed, a day of rest. One of the many attractions this week is a meeting of the teachers of the deaf, dumb and blind. Oar State is represented by Prof. Walker, his daughter and boo, of Cedar 8pring. The centre of attraction now is Helen Keller?fourteen years old?a native of Tuscatnbia. Alabama. Her father, Ar* tbur H. Keller, was U. S. Marshal of Ala* batna ander President Cleveland's first administration. She is related to Gen. R. E. Lee, on her father's side, and Edward ?Everett on the part of her mother. When eighteen months old she lost her hearing and eyesight by sickness, and at the age of seven years waa taken charge of by Miss Annie M. Sullivan, a graduate of Perkins' Institute for the blind in Boston. Since then she has been the tutor, and through seven years of painstaking teaching, has imparted to her papit a good education. It is wonderful to see her talking by the touch, intertwining her fingers with those of her companion. In the meanwhile she can talk in a strange bat audible voice. At the reception yesterday evening she recited Longfellow's "P?jalm of Lire," and read from the raised letters for the blind Tennyson's "Bugle Song." She was in? troduced by Dr. Graham Bell, of Tele pbone fame, who is much interested in her training and education. She is very cheerful and bright, and in going oat to take a morning ride, skipped along and laughed just as any other girl of her age. Her case bids fair to create aa great inter? est as that of Laura Bridgraan. These teachers are greatly, interested in their work, and exhibit great tenderness and affection for those ander their charge. They go far to lighten the afflictions of the unfortunates under their training and education. B. Wfaiit the State Board or Equalization Bid. Secretary Norton of the State board of equalization yesterday sent out the ad? vices to the county auditors of the work of the board. Each of the auditors was advised of the increase that would have to be added to every return of real estate. This will involve a great deal of work for the county auditors, bat they have the satisfaction of knowing that the State 1 board of equalization will not stir things up again for four years. The official reports show the aggregate increases on the returns as made by the county boards to be: Abbeviile, 2 per cent, added; Aiken, 5 per cent, added; Anderson, 2 per cent, added; Barnwell, 5 per cent, added; Beaufort, 5 per cent off; Berkeley, 5 per cent, off; Charleston, 5 per cent, added; Chester, 2 per cent, added; Chesterfield, 10 per cent, added; Clarendon, 12 per cent, added ; Colleton, 5 per cent, added ; Darlington, 5 per cent, added; Edgefield, 15 per cent, added; Fairfield, 10 per cent, added; Florence, 5 per cent, added; Georgetown, 5 per cent, off; Greenville, 2 per cent, added; Hampton, 5 per cent, added ; Horry, 10 per cent added ; Ker sbaw, 13 per cent added; Lancaster, 5 per cent, added; Lanrens, 6 per cent, added; Lexington, 15 per cent added; I Marlon, 13 per cent added t Marlboro, 5 per cent, addod ; Newberry, 2 per cent, added; Oconeo. 12 per cent, added; Orangebarg, 10 per cent added; Pick ens, 12 per cent added ; Richland, 5 per cent, added; Spartanburg, 2 per cent added; Sumter, 17 per cent added; Union, 2 per cent added; Wililamsbarg, 7 per cent, added; York, 2 per cent ad? ded. In Anderson 4 per cent reduction was made on all buildings in the county. It is estimated that the raise will bring the real estate up to a little over $100,000, 000 The levy on this assessment is 5 mills. The farmers are still looking for that long delayed redaction of taxes.? Columbia State, 15th ins(, ANDERSONS 1". ISENTED SON. What the Star? Press say about the late Uoa. E. B. Mar-ray. Greenville News : We cannot express in words the pro? found sympathy Greenville feels with Anderson in the loss of Edwards B. Mur? ray. His death will be especially felt in Anderson but it is a loss to the whole State. He was one of the leading young men of South Carolina. With the pen, before toe public, in the Legislature, in the Court House, he was a power. He could write and he could talk and he wrote and talked clearly, fearlessly so that all could understand. He was a coming man. His value and power were better appreciated as he grew older. He has beer, cat dowa just when his promise was brightest, just as bis scope was widening and the people of the State were learning to know him better, to value him more accurately. We can not un? derstand these things. AU wo can say is that we mourn his death sincerely, that we feel that it has brought to State and people {i serious loss; that the dead man will be missed in his church and in the cause 01' religi?s, generally ; in politics ; at the bar; in soaial and commercial life ; that the profound sympathy of the public will be with his sorely bereaved family and next with the community of which he was bo valuable and valued a citizen. When that is said all has been said that can be. A good and strong man, an active and zealous Christian, a useful citizen, has been taken away. We can only mourn and sympathize. We have no right to ask, why ? Columbia Stale: The death by drowning of Mai. E. B. Murray of Anderson will send a shock of surprise and regret throughout South Carolina. He was a citizen who, promi? nent in the past, bad that in him which seemed to give assurance of still greater prominence in 1 he future. A career high and useful, checked for a time by revo? lutionary conditions, scorned yet certain of continuance and a final rounding out in a post of honor and dignity. * * ? * In 1876 Maj. Murray was active as a Straightoat in the Hampton campaign of redemption and in 1878 was elected to the House of Representatives. Here he took f>art in every debate of moment and iterally forced his way to tbe front, soon becoming a leader of np-country senti ment. He was re-elected for several terms and constantly broadened in thought and influence. There have been tew more alert and useful legislators. Ho was a good, speaker, strong and logi? cal in debate, quick, well-posted, aggres? sive, untiring.. In 1886 he was elected to the Senate and extended still more his reputation. Tbe public institutions of the State owe much to bis championship. The rise of Till man ism induced the retirement of Maj. Murray from public life. He devoted himself wholly to tbe demands of a law practice which his rank In his profession made large. In 1890 and until the day of his death ho was a Straig'iitout Democrat. lu times more normal E. B. Murray would have entered Eublio life again and risen higher than efore, for no was amply equipped. Steadfast in princ'ple, as he was, his time would have come. It is no mere formal tribute we pay to his memory when we say that in his death South Carolina 8uifers a loss which will bo felt for a decade. Pickens Sentinel: His death is not only an irreparable loss to the city of Anderson, but to the whole State. He had not been- long in public life before his usefulness extended far beyond tbe limits of his own County. Editor, legislator, lawyer, he stood in the front rank of every duty to which ho waa called. His talents oommanded a lucra? tive practice, and he was cat down in the midst of his success. He was a faithful friend, a safe counsellor and a man of the' most exemplary Christian character. ?conee News: His death causes tbe deepest sorrow and universal gloom here. He was one of the leading men of the State and had done much hard work for the State. Associate Reformed Presbyterian; The friends of Hon. E. B. Murray, of Anderson, S. C, will be sorry to learn that .he was accidentally drowned in a Eond near his borne last Saturday, Mr. [array was one of tbe most prominent yenng men of tbe State. He served In the Legislature with credit. In the death of such men not only the community but the entire State Buffers a loss. Hampton Guardian: The death of Major E. B. Murray, of Anderson, in the prime of his varied and strong faculties, removes from the bar of the State a shining light, from tbe State Itself a distinguished son. and from his community a leading and influential citi? zen and. earnest and devoted friend and progressionist. Wiunsboro Herald: The death of Major E. B. Murray re? moves a good and useful citizen. He was a lawyer of no ordinary ability, and always a prominent participant in public affairs. Greenville Mountaineer; In the death of Maj. Edwards B. Mur? ray, of Anderson, the State has mot with a severe loss, which is heightened by the distressing manner in whicb his life was suddenly terminated. Few men of his age have rendered so long and conspicu? ous a service to his native State. From early youth he took an earnest, intelli? gent interest in public affairs, and he was young in years when be entered upon the active daties of what was to prove a very busy life, bathe demonstrated at onee that the responsibilities and aspira tionuof a bighminded citizen were felt and appreciated in a peculiar manner. Maj. Murray never shrank from any labor or sacrifice wbiot. promised the conservation of the public weal. He was always willing to lay himself upon the altar of his country, and more than once his life was imperilled because he was true to his convictions of right and duty. Fearless, incorruptible, honorable, con? scientious and fair minded, he used the great powers with which he was endowed for the promotion and happiness of his fellowman. He was gifted in many ways ?with sound, discriminating judgment, with firmness and tenacity of purpose, with invincible courage and strong con? victions, with readiness in discussion and the most intelligent apprehension of sub? jects wbieh came under his range of study. Such a man was rightfully a leader of the people, and their confidence was never misplaced because be acted at all times ander a deep sense of his res? ponsibility to God. In political, educa? tional and religious affairs he was always among the foremost in the' advocacy of what he believed to be right, but he did net trench upon tbe rights of others who differed with him nor manifest an intol? erant spirit on account of opposition. Anderson County has suffered In a pecu? liar degree by this dispensation of Provi? dence, and in every way this is shown by its citizens, Strong, stalwart men stood around his lifeless body and wept for the great loss tbey sustained in the death of a sympathetic friend and wise counsellor. But his death is a serious blow to tbe State, when men are needed to guide and shape the destiny of a divided people, and in all the communities where he was known and loved the deepest anguish and grief will prevail that he is no longer with his fellow-men to inspire them with high courage and unfailing devotion to the State. He was recognized as a power in the affairs of men, and he will be sorely missed in many directions. In the zenith of an active, useful and courageous life he is taken from tbe happy surround? ings of his own loved home, but he is only translated to a region of endless bliss where he will receive tbe welcome Slauditof tbe Master whom he served ambly, diligently and faithfully. Sumler Watchman and Southron; In the death of Major E. B. Murray, Anderson has lost one of her most promi? nent citizens, and South Carolina a de? voted and useful son, Newbcrry Herald and News: The death of Major Murray is not only a great loss to Anderson, but also the State, in whose councils his service was of sterling worth. He was a clear thinker, of ripe judgment in matters of State? craft, and as a true and loyal son had been tried and found not wanting. Greenville Democrat t It ought not to have been, is the thought which struggles for utterance when we chronicle tbe death of E. B. Murray, Esq., of Anderson. He was in the prime and strength of manhood and had not yet reached tbe topmost round in tbe ladder which in his profession he was rapidly ascending. Ab a man, he was clean, dignified, honest; as a friend, he was cordial, full of spirit, sincere ; aa a citizen, he was true, liberal and public spirited* as a speaker, be was brave, courageous, convincing, * * * His death was unexpected. He will be mourned by the wbole State. He was not in accord with the dominant party bat all alike will join in honoring the deceased for his real manhood, true con? servatism, blameless Christian life, and in sympathizing with his bereaved fami? ly, bereaved city and bereaved county. Aiken Times: The death of Hon. E. B. Murray is a calamity. His work 1 n Anderson County and in the General Assembly would have been a credit to any man. He was just in his prime. He will be sadly missed, especially in tho up country. Laurens Advertiser: He was the abl?st and among the purest of the men in South Carolina. Though retired from politics as not in sympathy with the dominant element in the State, had he lived and a normal, healthy sentiment ever obtained in South Carolina he would have beon its repre? sentative. Abbeville Medium: He was liberally educated, was a suc? cessful lawyer, was au editor for several years and had heen a member both of tho House and Senate from Anderson County. Be wtis also a prominent mem? ber of the Baptist Church -nd was a use? ful and honored citizen. His tragic death will shock the people of the entire State who will sincerely sympathize with the disconsolate family. Orangeburg Enterprise : The State loses one of its brightest and best known men in the death of Edward B. Murray, of Anderson. Mr. Murray was recognized as one of the coming men in the State. In the forum, on the hust? ings and in the quieter walks of life, be acted as a true man and reilected credit on himself and honor upon his State. The whole people is tho loser by his un? timely departure. Greenwood Advocate: Greenwood was appalled at the sudden death, by accidental drowninfr, of Hon. E. B. Murray, by whose untimely taking off yesterday, Anderson, the State, and the country, lose a great and noble man. Tried and true, patriotic and pure, guided in all the walks of life by one unvarying rule of right, brave and brilliant,?E. B. Murray died fearing God, and blessing and bettering the generation in which re lived. Knightly son of South Carolina! Christian patriot! glorious crusader for God, country and truth! Sweetly sleep and wear thy crown of stars! As thy Soul sped beyond the crimson hills amid the gently fading twilight of this world there was in the better world the sunrise of a cloudless, porfect and eternal day. Walhalla Courier : The news of the sudden death from drowning of Maj. E. B. Murray, of An? derson, was received in Walhalla last Sunday morning. It was a great shock to his many friends, some of whom bad grasped his hand and held sweet converse with him only two short days before, while he was here last week attending Court. The news was both surprising and grief-bearing. The particulars were eagerly sought for, and every avenue of information laid under requisition. * * * He soon entered upon a successful career at the bar. His Bound judgment, vigorous intellect, tact and practical sense, won for him a stand in the front rank of bis profession. He had reached the topmost round and was enjoying a lucrative practice when all at once the Simmons oame to call him away from the tribunals of earth and time to tbose of heaven and eternity. No more will his brethren of the bar hear his familiar and eloquent voice as he was wont to plead the cause of truth and justice. * * * When he espoused a cause which he thought to be right, be did so with all the ardor of his strong and positive nature. ' He ever had the courage of his convic? tions, and was not found always trim? ming his sails to suit every passing popular breeze. He gave his allegiance to truth, to the honest convictions of his mind and the behests of his conscience. * * * A faithful friend, dutiful son, devoted husband, loving father and pub? lic spirited citizen, bis place in both the private and publio walks of life was ever tilled by a true and noble man. ' Ilia "life was gentle, and the elements So mixed in him, that nature might stand up And say to all the world, ThU wot a man." Honea rath Chronicle s By the death of Maj. Murray, our State loses one of her pillars. He has been of untold service to the State, under many oiroumstances, and he is too well known to require praise from such an humble Bource; suffice it to say, then, that no man wonld have been missed more than will the brave, generous-hearted Chris? tian, E B. Murray. Hartwell (Ga.) Sun: Years ago, Maj Murray, then a mere youth, was associated with the writer in the publication of the Anderson Conser? vator, and he was always one of our best friends. His untimely death fills onr heart with sadness. He had attained great distinction among his people, and was a gentleman of the highest ability and sterling qualities of head and heart. His death is a great blow to his city, County and State. Central Tyro: This is indeed a calamity not only to Anderson but to the whole State. From every quarter came the strongest ex Sresslons of deep feeling. The sorely ereaved family have the sympathy of every man who ever knew Edward B. Murray, the brilliant writer, the faithful attorney, the rising statesman, the ear? nest devoted Christian and genial gentle? man. Peace to his ashes. Darlington Harald : Maj. E. B. Murray, one of tho best men in the State and a leading citizen of Anderson, wae drowned on Saturday afternoon, in a pond near his own resi? dence. In all the relations of life, both publio and private, he was a good citizen and his death is a loss not only to bis family and friends, but to tho whole State, for it is just at the present juncture when men of his abilty and high charac? ter are most needed; not to be rewarded with office, but to use their influence in behalf of good government. At a meeting of the Yanderbilt Benev? olent Association held in Charleston on tbe 9th inst. the following resolutions, offered by Capt. Alex. Melchers, were adopted by a rising vote; Resolved, That the Vanderbilt Benevo? lent Association, mindful of tbe atten? tions of tbe Hon. E. B. Murray, of An? derson, S. C, in the early history of tbe Association, and romembering, as they well do, bis eloquent address on "The New South," delivered before our organ? ization as anniversary orator on May 8, 1888, desire to place on record, on this tbe first opportunity since the appalling event, their profound regret at the news of his untimely death, Resolved, That in the death of Major Murray the State of South Carolina has lost one of her beat citizens, and his native County, that had so signally ele? vated him to high positions of responsi? bility and trust, a loving son, whom she had well delighted to honor, Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing resolutions properly authenticated, bo sent to the widow and family o:.' the late Major Murray as a visible token of our regard. A. C. Kaufman, President. Attest: J. E. Meyer, Secretary. Mosely Item?. Mrs. Mary Turner, from Bowman, Ga., left here last week, after spending sever? al days with us. She was accompanied by her daughter, Miss Clara. Miss Iva Brown, came home yesterday after spending about six weeks at Ander? son. The people of this place are very busy to-day preparing for tue reunion at Cooks on the 18th inst. All the names on the sick list have been cancelled, except Mr. McGill's little child. It has been ?ick for several days. Finis Seawright is wearing an 18 karat smile that portrays a feeling that owns the earth and wants it fenced?and be may need it. It is a son, No. 9, and weighs eleven oounds. W. R. Evans* told us the other day of a dream he had about Mr. Kay and the day school. We think it should be printed under the heading of "Laugh and grow fat." It is a aide-splitter and but? ton-buster. Ask him about it. Wonder what has become of the brick yard that was talked of here so much re? cently. Another organ was shipped here a few davs ago, and can be found at the home of Mr. R. P. Martin. Some of the residents of this place have been very persistent in trying to find out who tbe undersigned is, and it seems with no other intention than to criticise the writer. In the meantime we have been poking around and learned a few things. Some of them we will mention. First, we will say there is a young man in this place who is loving a young lady on the south side, Not on the south side of the girl but on the south side of town. Evidently it is a dear case of chronic love, where all the vital organs are in? volved, because he is visiting her with the regularity of a doctor to a wealthy pa? tient and they sit on tbe veranda and commune with nature nntll the lady Is so tired she has to rest before retiring after he has bid her good night. Won? der if all loft-handed men love that way. A series of moetings will begin at the Baptist Ohuroh here next Saturday: also at the Methodist Church second Sabbath in August, A- B. 0. ?

Mr. President *sd Gentlemen of tub Board or Trade of Anderson : Your Committee, appointed by Mils Board of Trade to prepare suitable preamble and resolu? tions on the death of "on. E. B. MURRAY, who was an uctiye and useful member of this body, has discharged that sad duty, and submits the follow? ing for your consideration: Iu the death of Hon. E. B. Murray a wide gap has been made in our tanks. AmoDg tbe young men of this section of our country, we feel that no misstatcment of fact is mado when we say he stood primus inlcr pares. Saturday, July 7, 1894. will long be rememberei in Anderson as the sad Saturday?a day of bereavement. Little did any of us think when we saw Maj. Murray with hope? ful countenance, animated with high intelligence, courteous and polite to all, a perfect type of tiue manhood, walking our S'.roets, that the Angel of Death was stalking his steps, following him to his bnppy home, glidiag with Invisible tread to tho banks of the pond that had atforded him so much pleasure and recreation with friends and loved ones, away from tbe busy haunts of life, where there was no power to rescue, and there, with one fell swoop, to strike him down in a moment to a watery grave. As tho last beams of tbe sinking sun shot upward to light the star-lamps, when men turn their weary step* toward their homes to rest from tbo tol a of tho week, the noble spirit of E. B. Murray, swiftor than those beams of light, passed across that dark, undiscovered country, from whose bourne no traveler returns, up to his Ood, who alone can bring life and immortality to light through death. Ilia strong body, which so oltcn bore him through trying scenes, turmoils of political strlle, and danger, touched by the finder of Death, sunk beneath tho water to rise no more. ] Ld a message dropped from Heaven that he was marked that day for death, all would hare ex? claimed, ''Nay, spare him 1" The awfulness of that scene?who can forget it? Hund.eds of friends had ciowded to the side of that pond, de? termined, if possible, to rescue that body from Death's relentless grasp I Oh, what a struggle was there 1 0, Death, how inexorable art thou 1 But, alas, how little we know in this world! Uow thin tbe veil that stands between us and eternity I Vainly we strive to peep tbrough the invisible woof! Life'B hurrying scenes and bustling cares cheat us of hours that should be devoted to reflec? tion. It is only when scenes like this occur when God. our Fatner, permits tho Angel of Death to arrest tbe hand of tbe sculptor ere the work is doue, that we pause only for a moment to reflect and exclaim, "Why not permit the work to bo finished ?" But He that marks the sparrow's fall and numbers the hairs of our heads, aid gives to each of His servants his talents, has said to our friend and comrade, "Enough I Well done, good and faithful servant." Hon. E. B. Murray was born in Newborry about forty years ago, and the city of Anderson, in which he was reared, witnessed with prldi his triumphs in bis busy life as editor, leader, lawyer and Chris? tian. Born of noble parentage, gifted by nature with high and noble talents, indomitable will, the genius of patlnt endeavor, with a laudable ambi? tion, with an enthusiasm without which no man has ever attained true greatness?thus equipped, he entered the arona of life before he had attain? ed his majority. Conscious of his abilities, yet without egotism, he prsssed forward, and grasped success, ol ten times when defeat seemed Inevitable He knew no such thing as failure, and made each discouragement a stepping-stone to hi her success through an energy of purpose from inborn re? sources that were sublime. Who shall say that, in life's last conflict, alone with death, his noble spirit failed in that hour T His fellow-citizens from the beginning recog? nized his ability, and soon accorded him tbe first place in leadership, and delighted to honor him, and when he went down in the last conflict he en? joyed the full confidence and esteem of his fellow men. A review of his public life cannot be made here. As a member of this Board of Trade he was ever ready to lay aside his private and personal interests to consult and advise for tbe public good. His was not only an aggressive, but a progressive spirit. Onward was the inspiration of his life. He was too broad-minded to ne circumscribed by geographical lines. We all remember how, for "ears, he sacrificed his time and energies in the interest of the people withont asking or seeking office. How, afterwards, with almost one voice, the people called him as their trusted servant, and bow faithfully he performed every sacred trust. When he retired from politics he did not sulk or become envious of his fellow-men. With high? born energy be set himself to work at his profes? sion, and yet when a call of duiy oame, ne was ready with his time, talents and money to meet the demands of the hour. Ho never worked for applause, and he who thought E. B. Murray was working for popularity had no conception of the man or his motives. He would not desert bis cause for the lack of applause The gteat ques? tion with him was one ot right and duty, and from these bo never swerved. In full possession of no? ble gifts and experience in public matters, great hopes were entertained by his friends tha: he would soon be called to higher honors by his fel? low-men. But be has fallen to rise higher than men?higher than all earthly honors, to be crown? ed in tho realm beyond the stars, where light and glory shall never fade, where strife and envy shall never enter to pluck his jeweled orown. While conscious of our loss to the City and ?taic, Tfho yet realizes that E. B. Murray is no more, but rests quietly beneath the sod of his loved countiy? In our U>es of greatest emer fency, then shall we realise fully that he Is gone, herefore, be It Resolved, First. That In the seeming untimely death of Hon. K B. Murray this Board has lost one of its most active and useful members, the City of Anderson her foremost citizen, South Caro? lina a devoted patriot; th.at while we deplore the sad and sudden termination of a life so useful, we bow with humble submission to the will of Him Who gave to the State this noble son and has called him to higher glory. Second, That his relatives, and more especially his esteemed, aged and bereaved mother, bis widowed wife and orphaned children, have our tenderest sympathy in this dark and trying hour of their sad bereavement. Third, That as a slight tribute to his untarnished name and memory, which deserves to Uvo in coming years, this tribute be spread upon our minutes, and that the Secretary be requested to furnish copies hereof for oar County papers with the request to publish the same, and that a copy of the same be furnished tho family In token of our deep sympathy lq the irreparable loss ef Hon. E. B. Murray to bis family, City, County, and Statu. J. L. Tbibbue, It. 8. Liook, P. K. MoColly, Tribute of. Hespe et Whereas, it has pleased God to coll our esteemed brother and fellow-Sunday?School-worker, E. B. Muri ay, from earth to Heaven: and whereas, we desire to give public expression to our sonse of tbe loss acd bereavement we have sustained in the death of Brother Murray. Therefore, be it Resolved. By tbe Sunday School of tbe First Baptist Church of Anderson, S. C, that in the death of Brother E. B. Murray we have lost one of our most useful and earnest members and a faith? ful, zealous and capable teacher. 2 d. That we bow lp prayerful submission to this visitation of our Heavenly Father, realizing that "He doeth all things well" and that He makes no mistakes. 3rd. That we tender to tha bereaved family our deepest sympathy in this, their hour of affliction. 4th. That a blank page in the Secretary's book be inscribed with the name of our deceased broth? er, together with the date of his birth and death. 5th. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to tbe Baptist Courier and to tbe County papers for publication, and a copy of tbe same bo presented to the family of oar deceased brother. Unanimously adopted by the School this tue 15th day of July, A. D. 1894. W. W. SyrxiViW, Secretary. Hurricane Creek Items. All penons who have relatives or friends buried in the Cemetery at Shiloh Church, or any others who are interested, are requested to meet at the Cemetery at said Church early next Friday morning (July 20) and bring such tools as they have which will be suitable for cleaning off the grass and weeds and otherwise fixing up the graves. Wheelbarrows, spades, shovels, pitchforks and hoes and perhaps an axe and a mattock would be needed. Come early and we can get through by dinner time. I take the following from the Defiance (Iowa) Enterprise of May the 17th nit. "Mr. Robert T. Sawyers and Miss Stella Webster, both of this place, were married at Harlan on tbe Oth Inst., at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hobart, Rev. P. H. King, pastor of the Harlan Christian Church officiating. These young people are well and favorably known In this community and have the best wishes of a large circle of friends for their future happiness and prosperity. M- ''awyer is a young plasterer and brick t?uu stono mason and is possessed of all the hustling qualities essential to success in life. The bride is an estimable young lady and is the only daughter of Mr. Allen Webster, formerly of Manilla, but now of this Elace." Mr. Sawyer is a grandson of [r. and Mrs. Jas. F. Masney, formerly of this County, but now of Defiance, Iowa. We join his Iowa friends in wish? ing for them a long and happy life. We have been having refreshing show? ers for the last few weeks, and crops are looking as fine as I have ever seen at this time of year. Watermelons are begin ing to come in now, so is the fried chick? ens and we will soon be done ''laying | by" and then for a few days rest and recreation. Politics are not discussed much in this vicinity, nor do we see or hear anything of any candidate, except those announced in tbe Intelligencer last week. I wish some of the candidates would come around and see us and tell us what their politics and platform is, not that we can do them any good, for we are debarred by a certain embargo laid on all antis, so that we can't vote In tbe coming prima? ries unless we take tbe oath of allegiance to the "reform" party, .vhich I don't think I can do. In fact, I don't think my wife would allow me to if I wanted to. She sewed a button on my pants this morning, so that I could button both of my suspenders for fear, she said, some one not knowing me would think I was a Tillman man?not having but one gallus. I wish somebody would tell me where we are at any how. I have been setting on the fence so long watch? ing the procession go along 'till I hardly know how much of it has passed, or how much more there is to come; but from appearances they have nearly all passed ?the stragglers have began to come along. I wonder if the Conservatives will be allowed to vole at the general elections, if so who will there be for us to vote for ? I think the Intelligencer's proposition last week a very good one divide the members to the legislature with us and we will help you elect them. There is nothing unfair about that. Our County offices, as the Intelligencer says, are nearly all filled by reformers. I have no objection to a single cue of them, for they are all good men?as good, perhaps, as the ones we run against them, and we are not complaining about tbem. So if the reformers want to get together all Democrats, Reformers and Conservatives, that will be a good way for them to start. Who will begin first? I see some of the correspondents want ns all to meet. I am willing and will go anywhere in the County, you all may suggest any time after the first Friday in August. That is reunion day for my old war Company. GistRifles(Co. D.,) Hamp? ton Legion, and I can't miss that. We hope to meet all of our old Company who are alive and as many from other com? mands as can como. We will also be glad to have the Editors of the Iwtelli OENCEn with us, and you are hereby cordially invited to be with irs. Joe Mauldin can give you the day and date. 'SQUinE F.EWEL. ?

Says the New York "World: ''The new city directory contains 387.411 names. Reckoning upon the usual basis of live to one, which in New York is more than conservative, this indicates a population of nearly 2,000,000. But this covers only the forty one square miles of territory within the boundaries of the city proper. It does not at all represent tbe real great? ness of this vast seat of population. Tak? ing Central park as the center, and inclu? ding as large a territory as Chicago does ?185 square miles?we have here a pop? ulation well in excess of 4,000,000, or very nearly as great as that of Lon? don."

In this age of edncation and enlightenment, when men read and think for themselves, all that stuff about "selling goods cheaper than your competitors buy them," being tbe "only competent dealers in the line," "handling better ttutr than anybody else," Ac, is mere clap trap, and subjects the writer and tbe firm back of it to tbe contempt of all right-thinking people. The man who has something to offer, and then tells the folks about in a plain, business way, is the man who "gets there," and getting there, stands. Lots of people bandle Paint. Some handle one kind, some another, bnt they all realize, if they have any business sense at all, that in order to make that business a permanent nuccess it is absolutely neces? sary to give the people tbe very best ma? terial. This we have tried to do, and at a price that puts it in the reach of all. In this connection we call attention to the fact that crops are about laid by, time is plentiful, and a little paint not only freshens and beautifies, but improves won? derfully tbe t uitary condition of tbe premises. If your house is all right may ue the fence needs a coat. A little Paint would keep that old buggy from falling down, and tbe wagon might last a year or two longer by spending seventy-five cents or a dollar in Paint on it. Remember this, the longer you put it off the more it takes and the less good it does* Remember another thing, it coats just as much, and takes just as much time, to have cheap piint put on as it does good Paint. Always buy the best, even if yon pay more for it. HILL BROS., Druggists, ANDERSON, 8. C. A BURNING QUESTION I OIL WHAT KIND TO BUY AND WHERE TO BUT IT. PURE WATER WHITE EVERY GALLON FULLY GUARANTEED.
