Thirty years ago to-day the ysnkee rai?
ders made their first appearance in Ander?
son. There was a pic nie in progress that
day at the old Brown lanyard, a mile
southeast of the city, and many of our

the announcement of the arrival of the
raiders created, the yells and screams
uttered by the women and children and
how quick the pic nioira rushed to their
homes.

David Watkins, died at the home of her
son-in-law, Mr. T. T. Wekefield. in the
FIva Forks section on Friday, 19th ult-,
after a brief ill jess. Mrs. Watkins was
about 65 years of ago, and since her girl?
hood had been a devoted and faithful
member of tbe Baptist Church. She was
truly a good woman, and was greatly be?
loved by her friends and neighbors, who
will greatly miss her, for she was ever
ready to minister to the poor, the bereaved
and tbe afflicted. On tbe day following
her death her remains were interred in the
family burying ground, the funoral ser?
vices being conducted by Rev. W. B.
Hawkins. Two sons and one daughter
are left to cherish ber memory, but in their
sore bereavement they have the consola?
tion of knowing that she is now at rest with
that Saviour whom she loved so well to
serve.

tisement in another column, which we
advise you, and especially the ladies, to
read carefully. They propose to conduct
a cash business, and guarantee satisfaction
to every customer, or will refund the
money paid for the goods. Mr. Butler has
dono business in Anderson for a number
of years, and those who have had business
dealings with him know that bis word is
as good as his bond. These gentlemen
have a handsome establishment, and we
bespeak for them a liberal share of tbe
public patronage.

lioc a I Breezes From Brushy Creek.
"We notice that tbe Greenville News, of
the 21st, said that the Adventists organized
a Church in this section with SO members.
(The item was reproduced in the local col?
umns of the Intelligencer last week).
We said that they organized with 10 mem?
bers, and we got onr information from a
full-fiedged-ubserve-Saturday-aa- the-Bab
bath-Adventist?one to whom the ordi?
nance of baptism was administered, and
he sorely would not have told ns wrong.
Where did the News get its information ?
Some of onr people have doubts abont
there being 30 of them in Brushy Creek
when Gabriel blows his trumpet, and when
we call to mind the slow progress they
have made and the fact that tbey are look?
ing for Gabriel right away, we can't help
but doubt it a little ourselves. They haye
been preaching their doctrine here now
for near 12 months, and only 10 haye
joined them.
Onr section was visited by several tramps,
or "bums," last week, but we'll bet a pint
of pigeon milk they don't come back.
There's lots of work to do in Brushy
Creek.
The busy housewives have been raising
a dust for tho last few days?Spring clean?
ing.
You can now get yourself in shape for
pio nios and mad dogs. They're coming!
Mr.-(he promised us two big water?
melons this summer if we would not tell
his name), is somewhat "swelled up" this
morning. The bees a warmed at his house
{esterday and settled on a peach tree
imb about 10 feet from the ground, and as
they presented the appearance of a swarm
well worth hiving, he settled on that limb
himself and proceeded to saw them down.
That was all right, but when he sawed off
the limb he let it fall to the ground, bees
and all, and then fell on them as hard as
he could. That was all wrong, as his gen?
eral appearance will show, if you could get
a peep at him "before he unswells."
War has been declared on sassafras, and
! it is being dug up right and left?obliged
to have it to make tea.
This time nearly everybody will agree
with the fellow who Bald that a good garden
was half a living and pretty good old
clothes, for gardens are late and field peas
are getting scarce.
A well-to-do young farmer who doesn't
live a thousand miles from here turned out
for dinner Friday at 11 o'clock. His clock
bad stopped?run down?and while his
wife was preparing dinner be busied him?
self winding it up and starting lt. "I am
going to set this timepiece by the sun,"
said he. "Let me see, the sun sets at about
40 minutes after elx; (goes and gets alma?
nac), ye*, that's right, 6.40." He sets the
hands to 6.40 and turns to his wife: "Now,
my dear, you have sun time; please do
not blow the horn to morrow Uli exactly
12o'olock." His wife takes it all in at a
glance and with a merry "just as you say,
-," sets the table for dinner. TJnluoklly
his clook doesn't strike and he never
noticed it anymore. Next morning he
went to work bright and early and plough?
ed on till about 1 o'clock, stopping occas?
ionally to listen for the horn, but alasl the
horn didn't blow. He worked on till long
after bis neighbors quit, and when he saw
some of them going back to work took out
his mule and went home in a run, think?
ing theit perhaps something bad had hap?
pened. When he went into the house
there was no sign of dinner and his wife
was busily engaged sewing. "What on
earth's the matter,-? I thought you
was going to get dinner and blew the horn
at exactly 12o'clock to-day, sure ? "That's
my intention, dearest-, bnt it isn't 8
o'clock yet, (laughing), you set the clock
by tbe sun yesterday!" Quick as a flash be
took in the situation, saw he was gone, but
before he could say anything the good
woman uncovered the table and lo! and
behold! there was the nioes'i dinner he bad
met in a long time. He can't imagine
what be was thinking about when he set
tbat dock, but it is safe to say that here?
after he'll wait till sun let or sun rise when
be goea to set bis clook "by the nun."

Happenings iu and Arouud Piedmont,
As the smoke has cleared away from
the registration faroe that was gone
through with in March, I reckon we
might rise to express our opinions on the
situation so to speak. I thought when
the Legislature passed the act to allow all
who were not registered to register, they
meant it, but it soon became apparent
that it was only intended for tbe "elect"
or faithful coat-tall swingers and howlers.
It may all come to naught yet if Uncle
Sam gets a fair shake at it. I think it a
mistake in the first place to have called a
Constitutional Convention, and wrong to
have counted it in after a clear majority
had voted against it. I think now that
the best thing to do ia to blow off the
hounds, as an old fox hunter would say,
and hunt for a new trail.
Our roads are rapidly improving under
the new management?that is the gullies
are getting deeper in the roads than they
were a year ago. In another year if there
is not a change some way, our roads will
be in as bad condition as they were before
the Murray road law came in. I mean
the roads in this immediate community,
for I don't know what other Townships
are doing.
The farmers are all nearly a month be?
hind with their work around here, but if
they can get good weather from now until
the first of July, interspersed with an oc?
casional rain, they will hardly realize
that they were so far behind in the
Spring. The small grain crops are com?
ing out some, but as a general thing they
do not look very promising. I think
there will be an average crop of cotton
planted in this section.
Married, by Rev. Robert Mayfield, in
Piedmont, on Sunday evening, April
2lat, 1895, Mr. Jeptba Bryant and Miss
Josie Sherman, all of Anderson County.
We extend our congratulations to the
young couple and wish for them a long
and happy life.
Mr. Sion T. Richardson, one of the
oldest and highly respected citizens of
the Shiloh section, died on Friday morn?
ing, April 19th, 1895, at the residence of
his son, Dr. J. M. Richardson, in Pied?
mont, after a long and protracted illness,
which he bore with patience and Chris?
tian resignation. Mr. Richardson was
in the seventy-first year of his age, and
had lived all of his long and useful life in
the neighborhood of Shiloh Methodist
Church, near Piedmont. He had been a
member of tbe Church at Shiloh for about
fifty-five years, and was a kind, gener?
ous-hearted neighbor, a good and useful
citizen, a true Christian and a devoted
worker in his Church. In the death of
Mr. Richardson our County loses one of
her best citizens, our neighborhood a
kind, generouB-hearted neighbor, and
Shiloh Church one of their most useful
members. In a word, his place will be
hard to fill with his equal in every
res pect. His remains were laid to rest in
Shiloh cemetery by the side of his life
companion who preceded him to the
grave a little over four years, after appro?
priate funeral services conducted by Rev.
Samuel Lander, in the presence of ? large
concourse of sorrowing relatives and
friends. Mr. Richardson leaves a sister,
Mrs. Hannah King, four sons, Drs J. M.
and N. T. Richardson, of Piedmont, Rev.
W. R. Richardson, of the S. C. Confer?
ence, and Mr. John G. Richardson, of
Edgefleld, S. C, and a host of other rela?
tives and friends to mourn his loss. One
by one the old land marks of this com?
munity are passing away, and soon their
places will be occupied?not filled?by a
new and unknown to us generation.
Strange how little we ourselves think of
dying when there are a few more older
than we, who we think will have to go
before it comes our time. So it will be
well for us all if we will try to emulate
the good example left us by our departed
friend and brother. Squire Fewel.

To say that the performance of the Wil
liamston Chorus Club, assisted by Miss
Gillan, last Thursday evening, was a grand
success would but faintly express the
delight and appreciation of the large and
cultured audience tbat heard it. The club,
consisting of about 30 members, sang in an
excellent manner. The opening piece,
"Farewell to the Forest." was a good in?
troduction to what followed. The aolos
"Last Night," and "Open thy Casement,"
w?re beautifully rendored by Mr. Frank
Pickel. Mrs. Barle, Mr. Pickel, Miss
Bagley and Dr. Hutto, rendered a moat

accompanied by Miss Kathleen, a skillful
and graceful performer. Miss Florence
Gillan, a violiniste of Philadelphia, is a
musician of marked ability. She manages
her instrument with grace and dexterity.
Miss Mathews, of Chicago, the directress,
is no doubt one of tbe best music teachers
the college has ever had. Her arrange?
ment of the program deserves the highest
praise. The stage was decorated with
beautiful pictures and flowers. The effect
was most pleasing to the eye. The pro?
gram was well selected, affording a variety
of modern as well as classic numbers. The
entertainment from beginning to end was
a most enjoyable one, as was proved by
the marked attention and the hearty ap?
plause given.

a Few Thoughts For Girls Who Ride
Bicycles.
Encumbered as you are, dear girls, with
flowing dresses, which the instinctive taste
of the ages has made, and justly made, the
ornamentation and protection of female
modesty, the bicycle is, for you, an awk
I ward and cumbersome vehicle. Besides
' tbe toil of straining your muscles to push
a body of flaunting sails against tht wind,
you exhaust your lungs with an exercise
which does not properly expand them.
But apart from the effort and Inconvenience
to yourself, the observer discovers a want
of fitness, an indispensable element of
beauty in action; and a want sometimes
Eardonable in men but never ia women
?id you ever think that while you wore
sailing along utterly Incapable of throwing
out tbe grace? of women, tbe men who
see you are a little amused, and a little dis?
appointed, and just a little wondering
what to think? Did you ever think that
these same men, some of whom would
gallantly accompany j ou, ia sport, yet oa
the thought of more serious and absorbing
questions, would turn from tbe bicycling
lady? In your toiling ride, you did not
observe the queer Bmile and dumbness of
men. Nobody, perhaps, has told you.
Let me tell you tbat the native, keen sense
j of fitness was offended.
Much more might I suggest, dear girls,
tbat the "bloomer" dress which is, I be?
lieve, a kind of bifueoated frock, is conBld
ered a far more unpardonable invasion of
virility. I am just whispering to you
across the line which separates men and
women, and wouldn't venture to whlspir
if I had not thought that you were ventur?
ing. You know that man admires most
j ust those qualities in woman that differ?
entiate her from him. And vice versa.
She admires most just those qualities in
man which complement what she lacks.
Tbe moment you assume his qualities,
that moment yon chill hla ardor towards
you. Because, tho' be may have plenty of
self love, he cannot admire himself awk?
wardly duplicated. If you aim to capti?
vate him never extinguish the feminine
graces tbat he admires, by shrouding tbem
under an awkward duplicate of manliness.
If you want men to love and admire you
never wear the split frocks on the streets
or anywhere. They will soon decline into
the old French pantaloons, tbat were
tight.
And let me Invite you, girls, to read old
St. Peter, the divine, in bis 1st Epistle,
3rd chapter, for an unworn-out-recipe for
dress. Yours, D. E. F.

Railroad News.
Knoxvillts, Tenn., April 25.?Jcre
Baxter, president and Chief Engineer Day,
of tbe Tennessee Central Railway, came
over the right of way of tho line into Knox?
ville from Cookeville, 103 miles, making
the trip in three days and arriving in Knox?
ville last night.
Accompanying the party was R. W. Ia?
in-m, of Inman, Swan & Co., Bankers of
New York, who are said to be baoking
President Baxter. Mr. Baxter says tbe
toad will be built into Knoxville In 12
months. From end of road at Cookeville
to Knoxville is 103 miles. There are
several contractors working on various
sections between Cookeville and Knoxville.
The nearest camp is at Kingston, 23 miles
southwest. Tbe Tennessee Central and
Black Diamond Railway from Knoxville
to Charleston, S C, are two n9w roads for
Knoxville for 1895 ? Special to Atlanta
Journal.
Tbe Augusta Chronicle, of last Thurs?
day, says:
" A tumor gained currency last week to
tbe effect that the Seaboard people serious?
ly contemplated purchasing or in some
other way acquiring control of tbe Port
Royal and Western Carolina Railroad.
While there has been no official confirma?
tion of the report it has become pretty
evident thnt there was at least some foun?
dation for It Tbe Port Royal and West?
ern Carolina Road runs out from Augus?
ta, and covers important and valuable
territory in the northern and western part
of this Stale. One of its arms touches An?
derson, a second Greenville and a third
Sparenburg,
While there seems to be no foundation
for tbe report that the Seaboard Air Line
has any intention of attempting to gat con?
trol of tho entire road there ia very good
reason for believing tbat it would willing?
ly absorb the Anderson branch of it. This
road runs from McCjrmick's, 8. C, to
Anderson, and would give the Seaboard
a route into that city and also one very
nearly into Augusta. It is rumored,
moreover, tbat should tbe Seaboard Air
Line succeed in making such a deal it
would take an active interest in building a
road from Anderson across the mountains
to the West.
The bitter fight of the Seaboard with the
Southern is bound to continue as the in?
terests of tbe two systems conflict at every
point, and there is no telling what steps
the Seaboard might take to strengthen its
present position.
Death of Caiollne Spann.
This good old woman, who has been so
long known in our community, died on
April 24th, at her horns in the city. She
was about eighty years of age, and was
one of the old land marks among the
colored people. She came to this County
when quite young, and was here when
our city was a very small hamlet. The
writer has known her all his life, and can
bear testimony to tbe fact, that a kinder
hearted and more faithful woman never
lived than old "Aunt" Caroline. Aaa
servant before and during the war, she
was always dutiful and respectful to her
owners. She was a noted cook in her
best days, and we remember tbe many
good meals we have eaten in ber bumble
home. She raised a large family of chil?
dren. Though it has been thirty years
since she was made a free woman, yet
she retained her love and respect for her
white friends, and tbey in return loved
and respected her. Sbe joined the church
at an early age, and lived the life of an
humble follower of Crist, and died a
happy and triumphant Christian. Poor
old "Aunt" Caroline, we will never see
your kind old face again, bnt to the end
of life we will remember your many acts
of love and deeds of kindness, and hope
to meet you at last in the better land.
One Who Knew and Loved Heb.
? There was an enormous flight of
wild ducks going southward over this
city yesterday morning. They seemed
to be passing from 12 o'clock until 3.
The main body could not be seen in tbe
darkness, but many stragglers flew low.
Tbe electric lights seemed to blind and
confuse the birds and some of them flew
about blindly. In many parts of town
they were picked up after daylight crip?
pled or exhausted. Six were found in
one back yard. Great numbers stopped
in ponds around town to feed and enter?
prising citizens who went out early with
guns secured Sunday dinners without
trouble. The firing sounded like a small
battle in progress in tbe meadows along
the river. One party of three bagged
eleveu ducks in about an hour and others
did almoBt as well.?Greenville News,

WE SELL AS WE ADVERTISE
WE know advertisements are often looked upon as mere brag. We try
not to be extravagant in our language, and never advertise that which we
don't have. To attract the attention of the trading public is a very hard
thing, and has puzzled our brains more than any one thing in business ; and
after you have gained their attention to impress them is another very impor?
tant matter. We were never more anxious to increase our business?espe?
cially our Cash trade?and were never able to ?fter as good values throughout
our entire Stock as we are now. It is not simply a few items on a bill which
are bargains, but the entire bill is to be considered when you want to know
whether you have really received full value for your money. We repeat
what we have often said before: That we court a thorough investigation of
Style, Quality and Prices, and are willing to risk everything in the brighf
sun-light of comparison and investigation. We were much pleased last week
to have some parties call, and, after looking through and comparing with
others, said they were obliged to admit that things were just as we had adver?
tised. An old friend asked if it were really true that we were selling Goods
as we advertised ? We told him that he knew us, and if he didn't find
things just as we said we could not have the cheek to ask him to buy. We
don't mean to say that everything will sound like we are giving them away.
No, no; for hard-earned money never causes that kind of feelings when it is
leaving our pocket-books; but we do believe you will decide when you trade
with us that you are getting value received in exchange fur your money.
This is our highest aim to accomplish, and to this end we will always do eve?
rything in our power.
We will now mention a few things. It is impossible to mention all, but
but if you will come to see us we will be glad to show you through each De?
partment of our Stores Just now Millinery is in full blast. Every Lady
and Child wants a new Spring Hat, and we are anxious to sell you. We
think we can please you. Our Stock is large. Our styles are pretty. Our
prices are as low as you will find them, and you will find no one more
anxious to please or sell you.
