He was spinning a top, to which be had con? nected in some way a loaded cartridge, thinking at the time that the explosive material had been taken oat. The friction produced by the spinning of the top upon tbe cap caused it to barst, with the above result. His eyes escaped ell injary. Dr. Pope attended the young fellow's wounds, sn<! he Is getting on excellently." i Don't forget the Illustrated Lecture to? morrow night in the Opera House.

J., one of the strongest, most popular and Tellable insurance companies in existence. Every poor man, especially, should carry some life insurance in a good company, and if you contemplate insuring your life, we advise you to give Mr. Mattison a call. He also represents a strong fire insurance oompany. For further particulars, read h\a advertisement, which appears else? where It la with great sorrow that we announce the death of an old schoolmate and friend, Mr. Thomas J. Glover, which occurred in Richmond, Va., last Monday, 20th inst., lifter a brief illness, aged 33 years. Mr. ?Sloyer was the only son of Mrs. Tooooa GHover, and a grandson of the Judge Whitner, deceased, of this city. Mr. Glover was born and spent his boyhood days in Anderson, and was an excellent, genial young man, whose death will ba greatly lamented by his many friends in our midst. We tender our sympathies to the devoted mother in her sore bereavement, and- trust that God, who doeth all things Ibr the best, will comfort and ebber her in her sorrow. The Board of Trustees of Winthrop Col? lege met in Columbia last Thursday and elected all of the full professorships and a number of the assistants in each depart? ment. It gives us plessure to announce that our young friend, Prof. W. E. Brea iseale, was selected for the Chair of Mathe? matics. Prof. Breazeale is an old Ander uon boy, but for several years past has been a member of the faculty of Rutgers' College, New Brnnswiok, N. J. We are not personally acquainted with the other professors who have been selected, by if the Board has done as well in the other professorships as they have done in mathe? matics they deserve to be congratulated. The Piedmont correspondent of the Greenville News, writing under date of the 20th inst., says: "State constables and revenue officers made a " good catch " in the suburbs of our town Saturday night. They captured a barrel containing several gallons of whiskey* A white man and a negro had charge of it While the officers were arresting the white man the negro attempted to escape when one of the officers knocked him down with a Winchester rifle. As he arose the officer caught him und undertook to hold him by the coat, hut the negro decided that it would be better for him to leave his coat than to stay himself, so he promptly walked out of it and made his escape. Several f hots were fired at him as he took bis departure but Done took effect. The team that was nsed for hauling the whiskey was also captured." For the benefit of teachers and others, a rammer school in the South Carolina Col lege at Columbia will be opened on Wed? nesday, July 3rd, 1895, and will continue until July 19th. While the advantages of the school are offered especially to the teachers of the State, yet all persons over 15 years of age will be admitted to He privi? leges. An able faculty has been engaged to deliver lectures on various subjects No charge will be made for tuition or other fees. Students make their own arrange? ments for board and lodging. For those lodging in the Campus, the entire expense for board, lodging, lights and attendance, will be $10, which must be paid on en? trance. Board and lodging may also be had near the College. For further infor? mation address Prof. James Woodrow, South Carolina College, Colombia, S. C. One of the most potent influences in re? forming drunkards and morphine eaters is unquestionably exercised at the various Keely institutes throughout the country. This reform is actually injected into the body, and is generally there to stay. . But there was never a rose so sweet that bad not a rival. Onr esteemed townsman, Dr. F. L. Narramore, after years of patient study and experiment, has discovered a new method of treating the whiskey and morphine habit. He has already treated some of the most stubborn cases taat could possibly be found. His method not only eradicates every trace of poison from the system, but seems to create a new being, placing an impassable gulf between the old babit and the new existence. We hope Dr. Narramore may build up a prac? tice and reputation in bis new field that will bring him wealth and fame. In a note from our venerable friend, Mr. Jeptha Harper, who Is now visiting Texas, he Bays : ''In oompany with Mrs. Maggie MoPhail and MissMcQuirter, Mrs. Dobbins and Mrs. Erskine, I reached Dallas safely on the loth, having made the trip in about 48 hours, via New Orleans. We are now stopping at Mr. D. T. Rainwater's hospita? ble home. I will visit all my relatives in this city, and then go to see other relatives in Fort Worth, Pilot Point and Waxa baohie. Mrs. Erskine and Mrs. Dobbins went up into Grayson County, and the former will return here in a few days. We found all of onr people enjoying good health and doing well. The crops in this State are not as forward as usual. A big corn crop is planted. Land here is rated at from $20 to $30 an acre. Dallas is a live city and a pleasant place to visit, but An? derson County can't be turned down any? where." The committee from the Board of Trus? tees of the Anderson Graded School let the contract for the erection of the building yesterday morning. There were eight bids before the Committee?one from Tennes? see, one from North Carolina, three from Georgia, three from South Carolina, two of the latter being from borne contractors. The bids ranged from $12.833 to $18,472 Messrs. Jackson & Moss, of this city, were awarded the contract, their bid being the lowest. This bid only includes the mate rial and erection of the building. The contract for the beating, ventilation and sanitary arrangements was let to Pecks 8 mead Co., of Cincinnati. O , and will cost $2 050. The furniture and apparatus for the various class rooms will be bought later. Work on the grounds for the foun? dation of the building will begin next Monday; Now we suggest that as soon as the walls are sufficiently high, the com? mittee arrange for the laying ot the corner atone.

Last Friday evening the pnpils of Miss Hubbard's Home School gave a moat en? joyable and interesting entertainment for the benefit of tbe Confederate Monament fund, and, despite tbe rain, were greeted by a large audience. The "Brownies" were something new and original, and were gotten up especially for the occasion by Miss Hubbard. The "Brownies" were all small boys dressed in the most comical style, and simply "brought down the house" in the two scenes in vhioh they appeared.

Toney Creek Hots, 8eeiog nothing from this community in some little time, I will attempt to let you hear from us again. There is very little news of muoh im? portance. Everybody is at work planting plenty of 5 cent cotton, and tbe grass is almost ahead of the cotton at this time. It is the general complaint that everybody is badly behind, but we think those that are jast planting are better off than those that have cotton up, as this cold weather is not doing the cotton any good There was a considerable frost here on the 15th of May. In the absacca of our pastor, Rev. R. J. William, who was away at the Southern Convention in Washington on the second Snnday in May, the pulpit was filled by Rev. Mr. Simmons, of Craytonville. He preached to a large congregation. We also had with ns the Rev. M. McGee, of Honea Path. Brother McGee is always a welcome visitor to oa r midst, be being oar pastor for quite a while. We are sorry to note the Sunday School at Shady Grove is not in as flourishing a condition as it has been in former days. There should be one of tbe best Sunday Schools in this Sunday School Union at Shady Grove, as there is plenty of good material to constitutes flourishing Sunday School at that place. We think it is the parents' duties to turn put and bring their children, and then perhaps tbe young ladies and men will become interested in this grand cause. There is in this com? munity plenty of grown young ladies and men who from Sanday to Sunday never go to Snnday School, and many attend from one quarter to another arid never have a book. This does not speak very well of cur young folks, nevertheless it is true. Our venerable Superintendent, Mr. A. R. Cox, having moved, and his health not being bo good, resigned as Superintendent of our school. Mrs. Dr. Cannon is not so well as has been. She Is confined to her bed, but we hope soon to report of her being up again. Miss Daisy Gambreil, of Anderson, has been visiting her sister, Miss Lucy. She returned home last week. We were glad to have Miss Daisy with us. Come sgain. Miss Luoy Gambrell's school at Calhoun, will close on the 7th of June. She will have a little exeroise at tbe close wbioh we can say will be a success. Miss Lucy is an excellent teacher and liked by all who know her. We will hate to see her leave our midst, bnt hope she may return to us in tbe near future. Mr. W. H. Acker lost a fine cow a few days sgo; also, Mr. J. M. Cox lost one. There is a very good prospect of plenty of fruit this year, to folks can live very well as long as it will last. So come down, Mr. Editor, in a few more weeks and we will give you plenty of fried ohicken and all the good things that can grow in a good garden, with a good old green apple pie made in a pan, or any way you may like them. Mrs. Dr. Cheshire left for Anderson Sun? day, where she will spend a week or t wo. We think a good reading club would be very nice for this community, as it would Improve the young as well, for tbey ooald meet and enjoy themselves together. The Elo nio has passed off and the yonng folks ave nothing to look forward to now. Who will make the start? Just ask Mrs. MoCalester (Aunt Sallie as she is oalled in this community), how she came out fishing at the pic nie? Capt. J. S. Acker can boast of as fine strawberries as this neighborhood can afford. The health of tbe neighborhood is splen? did. We hope to be able to write again soon and give you some news that will be of interest The old saying is "a whistling girl and crowing hen, never come to any good end," bnt we heard one of our fair young ladies say recently "That a whistling girl end a good, fat sheep, was 'the very best stock a farmer could keep." We think either one is verv good property. We think "D. E. F.'s" two pieces in your valuable paper on tbe subjects, "Bi? cycle Riding" and "Woman's Rights," are well said and to the point We say hurrah for him. If the mothers of to-day will take bis advice we need no women at the Eolls* Let them bo train the boy in their omes that they can be proud of their government in tbe tuture. At borne 1b tbe place to exert their light", and God bless the women that do this. Patty. List of Letters Remaining in tbe Postofflce at Ander? son, S.

Again a few weeks has passed since I last made my appearance, but hope, Mr. Editor, you will give space for a few re? marks. The weather has been quite cool for the past few days, which is yery injurious to vegetation. MisB Mattie Eskew, of Denver, spent a few day8 in this community last week. Miss Mattie is always a welcome visitor in our midst. Mr. F. W. Banister had the misfortune to lose a very fine mule a few days ago. Miss Mettie Long Is visiting in the Den? ver section this week. It seems that friend G. is at a loss to know which mill was referred to in our last Items?Strickland's or Mr G W Long's. So now we will inform him it was the for? mer, not the latter, we bad reference to. We think L. W. has made his decision, but not on either of tbe girls of tbe house? hold that our Flat Rook correspondent spoke of. Just ask where he called last second Sanday afternoon. Madam Rumor whispers that we will lose one of our dear girls before the leaves are tinged with red. Nobody's Darliko. Local Breezes From Brushy Creek. The weather for the past week, though Eretty cool for the time of year, and not aving a very salutary effect upon the growing crops, has been quito favorable lor farm work, and ourfrieuds who fol? low the plow have made fiae progress They're getting a bump on this week. In our last we had something to say about a new Church in this section. Well, that Church now has a name, Mt. Airy. We also said something about a Sunday School being organized there, but never dreampt ot such a sohool as it was our pleasure to meet there last Sun? day mor ning. The house was about full, and eveiy one seemed to be interested in the work. The secretary bad the pleas? ure of enrolling 57 names, and, from what we can gather, will do near about as well next Sunday. Indeed, the Mt. Airy bids fair to be one of the most flourishing Sunday Schools in the whole country. Three o'clock in the afternoon is the bour that has been set for opening the school, but as there will be preaching there next Sunday afternoon the Super? intendent would be pleased to have the school meet a little earlier, say about 2.30 o'clock, so the teachers can get through with their olasses. We accidentally overheard the follow? ing between a couple of colored brethren at the mill one day last week: "De rise in de price of flour strikes me pow'ful suddin, when I notis dat de blackberries am blooming out so uioely, and dat de indicasbuns fur a big fruit crop am so prominent. How does you feel about de matter, brudder?" "I feels dis way, just like I had been sent atter and couldn't come, dat is, I feels disconnectigated all over. And say, (in an undertone) did you hear it ? Dey says dat it; am more'in Erobable dat its g wine higher yet. De aud knows dat if it does dis nigger'll hab no fus class blackberry pies an' sich dis yea. But den, data allus been .de cause do white folks presume. When dere is a scarcity of fruit an' de like, flour an' sugar an' sich stuff is cheap; and when dere is plenty ob fruit an' de like, floor an' sugar an' sich stuff iz high Allus been dat way erer since, I cr took notis to observate. Doan' .now what am dere ideas for doing dat way, bat data de way dey does." "Datres (>onds identical wid my obserbatories an' s my sentimendB prezactly. Why dey does dat way is more'n my comprehen? sions can deteck, wid out it is so dey can swap us flour for de blaokberries." "Data de key note, brudder, for you knows (scarcely andible) dat if we had de flour to cook 'em in we'd save all the blackberries and de jewberries, too." "Dezaotly I an' dey's run de price ob flour up so's dey can get some blackber? ries. 1 sees into it now. Sees into it!" A certain young man who sometimes "talks in his sleep," done an extra big day's ploughing in a piece of new bot? toms with a mule that is every inch mulish last Saturday, and is accused of having disturbed the peaceful si ambers of the borne folks about 1 o'clock that night with the following: "Haw here! haw I Wo, haw I Oh, yes, d?n you. you slid off into the ditch. Quesa you'll come around right next time. Gee up ! Ned Needle. Lowndesvllle News The Trustees of the school will have an election for teaoher next Friday.

Editors Intelligence it < I see a piece in your paper of May 8th, 1895, headed from Lebanon, which saddens my heart, for it was in the old Church house there that I met with Christ, and it is to me a sacred place. While I am not a member there, yet I lov a the people that make up that Church, sind why? because Christ loves them and has commanded us to love one anothsr, and I would say Lord, may my tonguo cleave to the roof of my mouth rather than I should wound the feelings of a brother?for whom Christ died?with my unmerciful judgments. Now I know not the author of the piece, neither do I hold to immoral conduot, but I would say, fit s'., if there be such in the Church, as our brother states in his arti? cle, they are not good soldiers In Christ's army. Recall to memory when you was once purged from your old sins by the blood of Christ I say begin anew, and do your first work. Stand by Christ in faith, in doctrine, in works, and,, above all, walk in the spirit as you go forth con? quering sin and the works of the flesh and honor yoar father, which Iis God, and your mo,her, which is the new Jerusalem, or the Church of Christ. I will say to the author of the piece referred to, whoever you are, I love you and ask you to duly consider yourself and see if God has placed, you judge over his chil? dren and from what standard do you judge? Ifironi the law I will ask you to read Rom. 2-1, and Mat 7-1. Ob, that Christ would fill your soul with his lov Carswell Institute Items. Mr. Editor, if you will allow me space in your colonies I will write a few dots from the Institute. The Sunday School at this pleco is now on a boom. Mr. J. B. McAdams was in our midat a few days ago- We think by his appearance so often that he has some attraction on this side. Mr. C. II. Bailey is now having some improvements made on his machinery, and will be in full readiness to gin your cotton crop this fall. The Bohool at this place, taught by Miss Lottie Crosby, closed last Friday, and a pio nie followed on Saturday. Miss Lottie is an efficient teacher and wn are glad to say the patrons of the Institute made such a good selection in securing her for a teacher. Miss Lottie will return in two months and commence school again. Miss Emma Clark, one of Anderson's most charming young ladies, in company with her grand mother, Mrs. Crosby, was down at our pic nie. Well, Mr Editor, the same old fish that was caught at Moscow plo nie was thrown back in the pond and was at ours last Sat? urday in full bloom, but don't understand me to Bay that he was the only fish that was on band?there were more fish than there were fishers. Mr. Editor, we have often heard of dry land fish, but never beard of dry land eels until one day last week wh an a neighbor boy saw one grazing in the bottoms, so he said. MIsb Dolley Hall has been sick for sev? eral days, but is now improving. Dr. J- C. Walker has located at Cooks, and will be there two days In every week ?Fridays and Saturdays. Messrs. Yess Leverett and Jim Spear? man was in our midst Sunday. Nobody's Darling, Broyles' Locals. Me68rB. W. E. & J. L. Stevenson moved to Livonia, Ga., last week, having been awarded contracts for making 500,000 brick at that place. The boy s are hostlers, own? ing a maobloe with capacity of averaging 20.000 daily, and having no fear of the work attached to the fulfilment of their contract. Both gentlemen have left good farms behind at a busy season, showing that they intend to make brick and that contracts are made under any conditions. We commend them to tbe good people of Lavonia, and wish tbem success in the enterprise. Mr. Frank Cliokbcales, of Centreville, spent several days in thia community dur? ing his brother's illness. Onr people are very favorably im pi eased with both gentle? men and rejoice that the Professor recover? ed so speedily. Dr. Anderson, also of Antreville, came np. Would be pleased to welcome the whole trio to our homes some time in the future. The Charleston excursionists returned in good shape and report a most delightful trip, but oh! tbe fish tales! Mrs. H. F. Dobbins has lately recovered from a severe illness. Two of our neighbor girls, in company with two young gentlemen, attempted a visit to Reed Creek, Ga., not long since, bat "Got to the river and couldn't get across." Try it again, frlendp, bat be sure the river is not high, as only one of the boys could wade it. Mr. R. A. Sullivan left a very sick mule in Anderson last week, but we are glad to say it ban recovered and now wear* the "bell cord." X. Waikinsvllle Items, I will try and get in a few items this week provided r'01d Joe" doesn't get there first with all the news. Hold on, old fellow, and give the rest of us a chance to get in some news occasionally. I believe our sick people are all con? valescent, with the exception of Mrs. Lutie McClellan, who has relapsed and is in bed again. One of our good citizens has discovered some new diseases among our people to which be has applied the following names : "Blind staggers," "big gall" and "hollow tail." I trust he will be able to find a remedy that will prove effectual in these cases. Some of onr young people went on a fishing excursion recently to Seneca Riyer. On their return they had their wagon covered with flowers and flags and were making themselves so noisy until the people along tbe road rushed out, thinking..it was a detached circus wagon containing tbe clowns. The Concord school pic nio at Jolly's Spring Friday came near being a failure on account of the rain. While going from the spring down to tbe railroad bridge, three of the young ladies tried running a foot race in front of the train to see which could out run the train. The engineer bad to blow them off, and they did not get off any too soon. It did not look much like a pic nio in May to see them shivering around a huge fire in wraps, overcoats and blankets, etc. One of our young men has bought a new buggy and puts in full time 'up the road" on Monday's. It is strange how much more popular a young man be? comes as soon as he becomes fully equipped with the necessary require? ments for taking the girls to ride. I beard a girl remark once that it was not "the young man she was in love with, but his nice horse and buggy." So you see, boys, a handsome "turnout" is essen? tial to your success with the fair sex. E-says she does not like a certain young man, but somehow his visits are quite frequent. Probably he is one of the kind that has to be "knocked down with a hint." Try and make tbe fall as easy as possible. You know this is his first experience. Miss Mettie Hall, of Corine, la visiting at Denver. "Joe," I will be liberal. You may have a band at the items next week. t "Melinda Jane." Wllliam?ton Items. A crowd of girls and boys enjoyed a nice picnic at Tripp's Spring last Satur? day. Roy, son of Mr. W. W.

His text was Rev? elation 3rd chapter, 5th verse. Miss Pearl Russell, who is going to school in Greenville, is now visiting her father, Mr. B. F. Russell. Jeter H. " Dogs." Mr. Editor : Nearly every town in tbe State has a law in regard to dogs running at large, but our oity has none, (or if she has it is not en forced), and tbe consequence ifl that the town is over-run with dogs. You can't ride, drive or walk, but that the dogs run and bark at you, and yesterday one of our esteemed citizens was run over and knocked down by a large dog running after a small one. The Council should pass some kind of a law requiring all per? sons to keep their dogs off of the streets, and to pay a special tax on them during the >>ummer months at least. Respectfully, Reno.
