throat of tbe little girl were badly scalded, i
and she is now suffering Intensely from
the effects -of the ammonia, but It 1b hoped
and believed that in a few days the little

In their best apparel, betook themselves to

appeared around the curve, and each heart

of a trip to Atlanta, but lo, the red sign
(signal to stop) was suddenly lowered and
on by rushed the train at about 60 miles
per hour. Yon can imagine tbe rest."

A 17-year old daughter of Mr. John
Bratcher met a most horrible death at her
home in the Due West section tbe latter
part of last week. The young lady, with
a woman living on tbe plantation, were
in the bottom lands, near a creek, cutting
down com stalkB and burning them.
While thus engaged the girl's clothing
caught firo and were burning rapidly.
The woman ran to her assistance, and
after doing all in her power to subdue tbe
flames, carried tbe girl to tbe creek and
immersed ber in tbe water. This put out
the flames, but tbe girl continued scream?
ing and crying and saying ehe was i/ygreat
paiu. The woman then carried tue girl
borne, and in taking the wet and burned
clothing from her person it was discovered
that a large hole was bnrned in her side.
A phvsician was called in and everything
possible was done to alleviate tbe pain of
the poor girl, but she ouly lived five hours.
The Atlanta Journal, of last Saturday,
pays the following compliment to a young
lady who is well known In Anderson, and
who is a grand daughter of Mrs. McSmitb,
of this city: " Miss Daisy Badger, of
Macon, has been spending a few days in
Atlanta, and will probably return to tbe
city a few weeks later to give a recital here.
Miss Badger is an accomplished and artis?
tic elocutionist. She bai been studying in
New York all the winter with Emma
Dunning Banks and Anna Randall-Deihl,
two of the most distinguished teachers in
tbe metropolis, who recommend her high?
ly. Personally she is charming and ex?
tremely Djetty, two very agreeable expon?
ents for iior art. Miss B.-idger's repertory
includes some of tbe choicest selections of
the day, and to merely see her is to im
I mediately have a desire to hear her. The
date for her recital has not yet been fixed,
I but her appearance will undoubtedly be
attended with sacoess."
Despite the bad weather, the Opera
House was crowded last Wednosdiy night
to witness that interesting little comedy,
"Gipsey Girl," which was written by Mi<=s
Elma O.sborne, one of Anderson's accom?
plished young ladies. Tbe ca3t that sup?
ported Miss Osborne in her role, the Gyp
sey girl, were well selected for their re?
spective characters. Miss Osborne as the
Gypsey girl, Miss Sudie Smith as Granny
of the Gypsey camp, and Mr. Julian Fant
as the old negro washerwoman, were ex?
ceedingly well rendered. The other char?
acters were represented by Misses Leila
Russell, Ditmer Gilmer and Lieze Sbarpe,
and Messrs. W. W. Sullivan, R. S Mo-.
Cully, Joe Miller, J. BT. vonHasseln, R.M.
Baker, W. S. Lec, jr., T. Joe Bell and
Master Eogene Nardin. There were seve?
ral novel specialties introduced between
the acts, which were highly enjoyed. The
audience showed their appreciation of the
entertainment by frequent applause. The
play was repeated on Friday night before
another good audience.
Memorial Day.
Memarial Day?next Friday?will be
fittingly observed in Anderson, and every
person in this section, in whose breast
there reposes a spark of patriotism or
affection for the heroes who fell on the
battlefields more than 30 years ago in de?
fence of principles, should take part in the
exercises of the day. The old soldiers of
the County are especially invited to attend.
Miss Hnbbard, the energetic President of
tbe Ladies' Memorial Association, has
handed us the following program of the
exercises of the day:
Exercises in the Opera House in tbe
morning from 11 to 12:30 o'clock. This
will include all the old Confederate songs,
appropriate recitations, building a floral
monument by tbe daughters of Confed?
erate soldiers, Bonnie Blue Flag illustrated,
an address by Gen. M. L. Bonham and
Bhort talks by others. Tbe following gen?
tlemen are requested to act as UBbers:
Messrs. J. D. Maxwell, T. F. Hill. S. D.
Brownlee, B. T. Craig, F. Murphy and
W. H. Frlerson. All tbe old soldiers are
asked to call at Will R. Hubbard's Btore
in tbe morning, where a committee of
ladies will present tbem with badges to be
worn in honor of the day. The ushers are
reqnetited to reserve one section in the
Opera House for these survivors.
At 1 o'clock the ladies of the city will
serve a dinner for the benefit of the mem?
orial fund. An interesting feature of this
will be a " Confederate Corner," where
may be seen numerous relics of the " Lost
Cause," and a Confederate lunch will be
ready for any one who has never enjoyed
"Rye Coffee" and "Confederate Fruit
Cake." We hope for a liberal patronage.
In tbe afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, all the
white sohools of the city will assemble at
tbe Opera House, and at 5 o'clock proceed
to tbe cemeteries as follows: First, to the
Presbyterian, next, the Catholic, then to

conveyances will go to Silver Brook.

Happenings in and Around Piedmont.
Corn and cotton that was planted be?
fore the recent rains has "come up" a
good stand, and the crab-grass?it's up a
good titand, too.
There are a very few farmers, if any,
in this section that are done planting; in
fact, some are not more than half through
planting yet. Small grain crops are im?
proving, out if there Is anything like an
average crop made there will have to be
a considerable outcome In them.
Mr. Charley Smith, inventor and paten?
tee of a computing scale for weighing
groceries, drugs, confectioneries, etc., etc.,
will leave to-morrow for St. Johnsbury,
Vt., to confer with tbe Fairbanks and
Howe Scale Companies in regard to sell?
ing his patent. There are two beams to
the scale, one with the price of any arti?
cle from 3 cento to 42 cents and fractions
of a cent, tbe other beam begins at one
and runs to two hundred. If a person
wauts ten oenta worth of any artiole
which is worth 36 cents a pound, set the
weight on the price beam at 35 and the
weight on the cash beam at 10, and put in
the scoop enongh of the artiole to balance
the weight and you have the required
amount. So you eee? with this scale you
can accurately weigh any amonnt of any?
thing up to two dollars worth of any
article worth from 3 to 42 cents a pound,
a great deal better than on the common
grocer's scale. It would be almost im?
possible to weigh exactly ten cents worth
of candy or anything else worth thirty
five cents a pound on a common grocer's
scale, for you see by counting it you
would get 4 4-7 oz, which a common gro?
cer's scale will not weigh, and conse?
quently you would only get a quarter of
a pound, as he would not be able to weigh
the fractional part of an ounce required
to make the exact amount, and could not
afford to give the five ounces, and so on.
We hope Mr. Smith will be successful
with his invention and realize a hand?
some fortune from it.
The health of our community is very
good; in fact, we hear of but very little
sickness except perhaps a few old chronic
cases. Mr. Jacob Martin is suffering with
cancer on the face. We hope he will
be able to get ont soon again.
-There is considerable preaching going
on at Piedmont now. Rev. Mr. Marsh,
assisted by Rev. Mr. Sublet, of Sumter,
S. C, have a protracted meeting at the
Piedmont Baptist Church. Rev. S. J.
Cowan has his tent up in the suburbs of
the town and ia conducting a revival
meeting at'intervals, and Rev. Mr. John?
son has his tent pitched near King street
in Piedmont, and has began to preach the
doctrine of the Seventh Day Adventists.
I see an article in the Atlanta Constitu?
tion headed, "Figures do not lie." And
goes on to give the difference in the
assessed value of property in the several
States In 1893 and 1894. Now, I want to
give tbe readers of the Intelligencer
a problem to solve, and we will see
whether figures do lie or not Perhaps
our School Commissioner can give us
some light on it?he Is good iu grammar,
and is always very kind and prompt to
correct ua in our grammar. The prob?
lem is this: A. and B. went to market,
each carrying 12 ducks. A. sold his ducks
two for a dollar, making, of course, six
dollars for the 12 ducks. B. sold his 3
for a dollar, making four dollars for tbe
twelve, ana ten dollars for the whole 24
ducks. Now, 2 of A's. ducks at 2 for a
dollar and 3 of B's. at 3 for a dollar, would
be 5 for 2 dollars or 40 cents each. The
next day A. being sick and unable to go
to market sends 12 ducks by B., who also
had 12 of his own, which he disposed of
as a whole at the same rate that they did
the day before, viz., five for 2 dollars or
fortv cents each. How much did he get
for the 24 duoks at that rate ? If he did
not get ten dollars, why was it? when he
sold them at the same rate per duck and
per five ducks. Squire Fewel.

Local Breezes from Brushy Creok.
Owing to the abundance of rain, farm?
ing operations were at a stand still for
seven or eight days of the last two weeks
and farmers are' considerably behind.
Nearly every one, though, had part of his
crop planted before the rain set In, and it
will be ready to work out as Boon as he
can get to it. So they'll just keep a hust?
ling?unhitch from the planter and hitch
to the cultivator. No idle bread in the
next few weeks for the man who makes
his living by the sweat of his brow, pays
his debts and goes to Sunday School, and
God deliver us from the other fellow.
He goeth about among his fellow men
with bis Sunday shoes on. He approach
eth them with a smile, setteth himself
down hardly and hindereth tbem from
their labor. He knoweth a little about
everything and talketh without ceasing.
He selleth rotten eggs and sick chickens,
and puttetb stuff in his butter, and is
known by all the people round about.
His garments he obtained on a credit and
they fit him. He studieth by day and by
night whom he may beat and goeth
straightway and beats him. His credi?
tors are many, yea he is debtor both to
the merchant and the farmer, but tbe one
upon whom he now feedeth is the only
one in tbe lot of whom he speaketh no
evil, (and be, poor devil, will fade into
insignificance whom he asketh for bis
pay.) He bloweth about how his crop
growetb, and goetb about seeking whom
be may deceive that he might fall upon
tbem for the loan of a measure of flour.
Verily, his ways are ways of orookedness
and all will rejoice when he is no more.
The Messrs. Long & Mauldiu have the
thanks of the traveling public and bicycle
riders especially, for several new bridges
put down last week. Our roads are now
in tolerable good order.
We have been requested to say that
"the Rev. J. V. Vermlllion will preach at
Pisgah next Saturday night, commencing
at 7 o'clock.
Sunday was the hottest day we have
had yet. One of our bioycle boys who
tried to out run a thunder shower in tbe
afternoon Bays that his collar buttor s
melted out, and I reckon it's so, for he
lost bis oollar.
At the new Cauroh, erected by Mr. W.
S. Murphy near his residence, there will
be a singing next Sunday, exercises com?
mencing at 9 o'clock, and preaching at 2
o'clock in the afternoon. The public cor?
dially invited.
Those of our farmers who gathered
their pea crops struck a streak of luck.
They are selling for ?1 per bushel without
a murmer.
News is scarce this week.
Ned Needle.
Lebanon Items,
Several weeks have gone by and we
have loosed in vain for tbe appearance of
locals from this section, so this morning,
while we can't be at work on our farm,
(owing to tbe heavy foil of rain last night)
we will attempt to rake up a few items
nothing of great interest though, we assure
you.
We wish to correct a slight mistake of
one of the locils of last week's issue, in
regard to the work of Mr. C. P. Rogers, in
this neighborhood. It was stated that
"Mr. C. P. Rogers has just completed a
nice dwelling house for Mr. Ed ward Smith,
in tbe Five Forks section, and has com
merJced one for Mr. Mathias Richardson
In the same section. Mr. Rogers is a good
carpenter, and always give3 satisfaction to
those who employ him." We would like
to know why that correspondent msde
such a mintake? Tbe house of Mr. Edwin
Smith was erected by Mr. M. M. Morris,
and only the painting of it was done by
Mr. Rogers. And be was jast simply
Eainting Mr. Richardson's old dwelling,
[r. Rogers is a very gocd painter, but if

Next Saturday and Sunday are the
preaching days at this place by tbe pastor,
Rev. W. B. Hawkins. We hope there
will be a large attendance both days. It
seemB that this Church contains some of
the most ungodly members that can be
found anywhere. Tbey swear and curse
and lie and drink, and then when they are
told of it, they just laugh and say, " O, It's
no harm." Certainly babylon is fallen, is
fallen! and bas become the habitations of
devils, and of every hateful and unolesn
bird.
Yours, one who knows and is not afraid
to tell it. * *

Eureka Pic Nie.
On the third of May,
A beautiful day,
Tbe school at Eureka waa out;
We did not cry,
. Nor were we shy,
Bot nur opinion of tbe same <li<l londly
sbont.
We clamored long
With voices strong,
For a day at the teaober'a homr;
She readily cited
That we were all invited
To come, and to do as we chose.
We hied away,
We could not stay,
For High in tbe heavens waa tbe morn?
ing's sun;
We went to meet
The friends we'd greet,
On this our pio nloday of fun.
With dresses neat
And faces sweet,
Tbe "chaps" assembled from far and near;
They came along
With laugh and song
Tbey were tired, but for that tbey shed no
tear
In circles round
Our seats tbe ground,
For mumblepeg's amusement we'd beg;
'Twas very nice
Till all in a thrice,
We were told to get down and "root the
pog ?
Our second '?'?nie
Was much the same.
As to age and tbe fun it could \ ring;
Old "Fox and a Goose"
All come through,
With a wbrop we madn the welkin ring.
The morning waned
And noon time came,
When we assembled under a large oak tree;
To eat tbe cake
The fair ones make,
That so pleases the little ones like me.
Later we strolled
O'er pleasant knolls,
To the rugged hills on Broad a way's bank;
We sat on tbe rooks
Regardless of frocks,
With "brats" in our front, and "brats" on
our flank.
The hill so steep
You could hardly keep
From tnmbling down to tbe mud below;
Yet we kept our seat
And did not leave
Till tbe evening sun was getting low.
Back we went
Though clothes we rent,
To be in time for tbe candy pulling;
In spite of care
They messed tbelr bair,
And when at home thpy may have gotten
a "wooling."
The little boys' race
In bags to tbelr waist,
Was a sight such as we seldom ever see;
They hopped, they jumped,
Tbey fell, tbey bumped.
The whole crowd clapped thuir bands in
lite.
Erasing closed, Ria?,
Our piu nie day was pasted,
And we said good-bye among the tree?-;
Then homeward bound
With joyful sound
With tired feet and limbs, yet we were
pleased. ? * *

LEADERS OF LOW PRICES.!
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 h 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 offer 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 williug to risk everything in the bright
sun-light of comparison and investigation. We were much pleased last week
to have gome 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 for your money.
This is our highest aim to accomplish, and to this end we will always do ev
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 vou through each De?
partment of our Stores Just now Millinery is iu 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.
