M. Carliae, who lives in the Lowndesville section, survive her. Since her childhood she had been . a faithful member of tbe Presbyterian Church, and lived up to the professions of a true Christian, sue had an extensive acquaintance, and was great? ly*, beloved by all who knew her. For more than twenty-five years she has been afflicted with that' terrible disease, cancer, but she never murmured and bore her af? fliction with Christian patience and resig? nation. For a long time she had heen helpless, and was ready and anxiously awaiting for the summons of death. Her remains were carried to Lowdesville this morning and will be bur'ed at Providenoe Church this afternoon. The Saluda Baptist Association met with the Rocky River Church on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week. There was an unusually full representa? tion from the Churches, and a number of eminent ministers of the denomination, representing various boards, were present. The organization was effected by the re? election of last year's officers, as follows ? Moderator, Rev. M. McGee; Clerk, Dr. John A. Robinson ; Assistant Clerk, C. L. Dean; Treasurer, W. F. Cox. This As? sociation is now over ninety years old, and is one of the leading Associations of the State in the membership it represents and in the liberality of its gifts. It was or? ganized mainly as a missionary body, but includes within its scope every benevo? lent object fostered by the denomination. It bas no legislative control over tbe Churches, but was organized for tbe pur? pose of securing systematic co operation in the benevolent work of the Churches, Committees are appointed each year, who report at the next meeting tbe progress made along tbe lines of Education, Snn? day Schools, Temperance, Foreign, Home I and State Missions, &c, <fee., and recom? mend the adoption of such measures as are calculated to procure most efficient work along these lines. The meeting last week was a most successful one. Stirring speeches aroused fresh interest as each new subjeot was brought up. The people of the community were unbounded in their hospitality, and in return they felt, and for a long time will feel, that a great power for good had been among them. The second edition of "The Vestibule," a monthly publication by the Seaboard Air Line, through its advertising agent, Mr. Sam. W. Bowman, has juat been re? ceived. It contains a novel by Walter Besant and James Rice, and as an adver? tising medium it is complete. The front ispieoe entitled "Summer" is a magnifi? cent piece of art. There is an annual dis? tribution of this book of 100,000 copies, which reaches the bulk of the travelling public. The Seaboard Air Line, in the is? suance of this book has simply bumped against a strata of originality in advertis? ing, and we bespeak for the "Vestibule" a future full of success. Copies of same can be procured upon application to Mr. T. J. Anderson, G. P. A., Portsmouth, Va , or agents of the line. The Greenville News of last Thursday says: "The Greenville News has received from very straight sources the astonishing information that Capt. V. E. McBee is to be Superintendent of the Blue Ridge Railroad. The idea of a man who has controlled many hundreds of miles of line going to a little fifty-six mile prong with one train a day looked very abaurd, but the rumor came from inside. It was confirmed by the order of Manager Green in which the Blue Ridge and the Laurens road are excepted from the jurisdiction of Superintendent Ryder. From another Bouroe and from yon side of the mountain there comes another story which fits in with the first one. It is that Captain McBee has been employed by Vanderbilt to develop some of his property and build a town on it in Western North Carolina. The stories together look like an exten? sion of the Blue Bidge through the moun? tains to and beyond the Vanderbilt hold? ings.'; Mrs. Sallie Armstrong, relict of the late Chesley Armstrong, died suddenly at her home in Piedmont last Monday morning about 1 o'clock, aged about 46 years. It seems that about an hour preceding she aroused her daughter, who was sleeping with her, and complained of having a very severe headache. She requested the daughter to get up and make a little fire to heat some water. The daughter has? tened to perform the duty, and in a few minutes the mother was sitting before the fire. She bad not been sitting there but a few minutes, when she suddenly tumbled to the floor. The daughter awoke the other members of the family and a physi? cian was summoned, but before he ar? rived death had claimed the good woman as its victim. Mrs. Armstrong was a most excellent Christian woman, and the.an? nouncement of her death brought sadness to many hearts. She was a member of the Baptist Church, and was highly es? teemed by her friends and acquaintances. Her remains were interred at Piedmont yesterday. Three sons and two daughters survive her. The Dardatnelle {Ark} Dispatch speaks si follow* of-a former young citizen of Anderson': "Few institutions in Darda nelle have become so thoroughly estab? lished in public favor and gained such a reputation in the character of their goods and honesty in their dealings as the popu? lar New York clothing and gents' furnish? ing house. The . New York Clothing House opened for business October, 1893, and in' this comparatively short time, it it has by legitimate business methods, built up, not only an immense trade, but a reputation as a firm of high commercial standing; This is the only exclusive clothing honse in the city. Mr. E. P. Welch, the gentlemanly proprietor, is a member of a syndicate which employs a regular buyer (Mr. 8. D. Stradley) who resides in New York City. Mr. Welch owns a one-half interest in the Dardanelle Mills. Mr. Welch came to Oardanelle at the time uf opening business, and is re? cognized as a valuable acquisition to our city. He will make a trip to New York City August 1 for the purpose of assUting his buyer to select a stock for fall and winter trade. Mr. Welch is enterprising and one of our city's foremost business meu." The friends of Mr. Welch, we .know, will be delighted to bear of bis suc? cess iu his new home. Last Thnr&day, about 1 o'clock, the news spread through the city that Mr. Chas. M. Sherard, who lived near the wes? tern' limits of the city, had committed sui? cide. The information shocked every? body, and many could barely believe that the report was true. In a few minutes several intimate friends were on the way to the home of the deceased, and, upon reaohing there, tbey found the poor fellow dead. His body was found banging from a joist in an outbuilding, and was first discovered by his children, who immedi? ately notified their mother. Mrs. Sherard ran to the building and cut him down. He bad not been hanging more than fif? teen minutes, for be had left his dwelling only about twenty minutes preceding. Mrs. Sherard used every method to revive him, but her efforts were in vain, for his neck was broken. The deceased bad climbed up on a barrel, and, after tying the rope around his neok and the joist, tied his hands between his legs and jump? ed off the barrel. He bad been drinking for several days preceding, and this was no donbt the reason for taking his own life. Mr. Sherard was a son of Mr James Sherard, of Corner Township, and was about 38 years of age. He lived in the Corner until nearly two years ago, when he moved near the city and engaged in truck farming and the dairy business. He was a genial, clever man, and was ? highly esteemed by his friends. He was succeeding well in his business. Mr. Sherard married Miss - Beaty, a daughter of Mr. C S. Beaty, who, with nine little children, are left to mourn his death. In their sore bereavement tbey have the sympathy of our whole people. The remains were interred at Generoatee Church last Friday, Rev. R. C. Ligon con? ducting the funeral services. The Athons (Ga.) Banner, of Tuesday, July 31, says: "Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock Mrs. Fannie C. Richardson, wife of Mr. G. W. Richardson, died at the home of her husband, noar Athens, after a brief but painful Ulness. She was in the 40th year cf her age, and seemed to be in the prime of womanhood, and life opened out brightly before her. Mrs. Richardson was well known in this city, and was a lady of many amiable traits of character, and won friends wherever she was known. For several years she lived in Athene, and for a time her husband kept one of the college boarding houses on the campus, and her memory will be cherished by many of the young men who graduated at the University. She had a bright religions experience, having been converted in early childhood. It was then that she united with the Baptist Church, and she hns been a consistent Christian from that time un? til the day of her death. Mrs. Richardson leaves a sorely stricken husband and five little children, one of them being an in? fant of a few days, to mourn her death, besides many relatives and friends who mingle their sympathies and tears with the bereaved. By this sad providential stroke Mr. Richardson's home life has been sadly shattered. His obildren being small, he could not keep them at his home, and will place them in charge of hie brother, Mr. Milton Riobardson, at Hart well, Ga. The remains of Mrs. Richard? son will be interred to day in the family burying ground in Anderson County, S. C. The funeral party left on the 2 30 G. C. & N. train yesterday afternoon. The be? reaved family have many friends in Ath? ens who sincerely sympathize with them in this great Borrow." Mrs. Richardson was the daughter of the late Elias McGee, of this County, and her many old friends will regret exceedingly to hear of her death. Anderson is called upon to mourn the loss of another one of her most worthy and excellent citizens in the death of Mr. W. B. Watson, who died at the home of his Boh-in-law, Mr. U. E. Seybt, in this city, last Sunday morning at about four o'clock. He had been iu feeble health for several months, but it was only a few days preceding his death that his condition became serious, when the at? tending physicians informed the family that he was beyond the aid of medical skill. Mr. Watson was the eldest son of the late Daniel Watson, and was born and reared iu Anderson County, where he had always resided. He was in the 72nd year of his age, and throughout his long lifo was a .model, upright citizen, discharging his duties faithfully to his fellow-men and to his country. Ho made a friend of every acquaintance, and had- as few enemies, perhaps, as any oitizen of Anderson County. He had devoted his life to farming, and success crowned his efforts, having accu? mulated a good fortune. He was ever ready to lend a helping hand to the worthy and needy, and to give a sympa? thetic word of advice to the unfortunate. He served through the war in the army of Northern Virginia, and was a brave soldier. In his young manhood he joined the Baptist Church, and was throughout his life a devoted, faithful member. Iu overy relation of life he discharged his duties faithfully, and has gone down to his grave with a record worthy of the emulation of others. He leaveB a wife and two children, Mr. W. A. Watson and Mrs. Seybt, besides a host of relatives, to cherish his memory. His funeral took place in the Baptist Church on Monday at 11 o'clock a. m., the services being conducted by Rev. J. R. Earle, in the presence of a large congregation, all the business houses iu the city having closed their doors in respect to his memory. After the services, the remains were interred in Silver Brook Cemetery. TO RENT?A neat four-room cottage. Apply at this office. Municipal Nominees.

Fiank Harri? son's Regiment that is now living in the Fork. Mr. Gilbert was wounded in the wrist and is now in a helpless condition, a great part of it the result of the wound, but still our pension commissioners refuse to give him a pension. And it is a shame to think tbat pensions are grant? ed to men a great deal more able than Mr. Gilbert, andstill Mr. Gilbert remains an object of charity. We do hope that the people will get sober and wake up to the fact that right wrongs no man. Rev. J. F. Singleton, of this place, preached a very practical sermon in the Baptist Church on last Sunday. Subject: "By the three hundred tbat lapse I will save you." Compromising with Sin in politics and religion was one of his main points. Miss Annie Dickson, of South Union, is visiting in this place.

At this writing it is still raining. We are having entirely too much rain for cotton, especially on sandy land, most of us have through this vicinity. We are not through laying by yet and I don't see any prospect or getting through soon. We had the pleasure of attending the Union Meeting at Dorchester on the fifth Sunday. It was a beautiful day for the occasion and there was quite a crowd present. Anderson, Williamston, Belton and Honea Path were all well represent? ed. We found the people to be very kind and accommodating and they had plenty to eat. Some few of this vicinity attended the Union Meeting at Turkey Creek, and I have heard several say that they had the pleasure of listening to one of the grand? est and best composed essays tbat they ever heard read. It was composed and read by Miss Selma Wright, of Crayton, S. C. Miss Selma is a leading and work? ing member of Barker's Creek Church, and the many members of that Church should certainly feel proud of such a member. The health of this vicinity is very good at this writing. Candidates seem to be very numerous at this time. Why don't some one an? nounce himself as a candidate for the Legislature?

These distinguished young men who constitute that very commonplace signa? ture are apparent novices iu the journal ? Istic field. They gather their news from astronomical calculations In some in? stances, and from vivid imagination and wild speculation in others. In the budget of conglomerated stuff they sent you last week is a reference to the social inclinations of Messrs. Henry Mosely, Ellis Huokabee- and myself. These callow writers should be correct when they make public suoh statements. Their literary aspiration is suborduating judgment and common sense, and a little recipocrocity by way of admonition through the press might do them effect? ual good. One of the hardest things for a boy of sixteen to overcome, who aspires to be noticed and who is restless about his fame, is the intermittent boiling over of himself. Your correspondents are very clever fellows, but passes that lamentable de? ficiency in the conception of modern propriety that leads them into blunders of bad taste. Youth is perhaps the best'excuse for their foibles, but a position should never be captured where there is not sufficient judgment and sagacity to maintain its dignity. In the future we hope to see some improvement in the news from these gents snatched, as it were, from the "un fathomed caves of the ooean" by an acci? dent. W. C. Tennent.

It is our sad duty to chronicle the death of our beloved friend, Miss Vasti Gassa way, which occurred very suddenly on the evening of July 12th. Her death was a shook to her many friends and rela? tives. She was a faithful member of the Long Branch Baptist Church, and of the Woman's Mission Society, and a teacher in the Sunday School there. A striking point in her Christian character was promptness. She was always at the post of duty and ready and willing to work for the Saviour, whom she delighted to Berve. We extend sympathy to the be? reaved family, and, though they sorrow, it is not as those who have no hope. She was buried at the Rice graveyard on Friday evening, July 13tb. A Friend.
