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."

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?

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

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!

A Reply to Ono ot our Lebanon Cones
pondents.
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

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

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?

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,

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.

" 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.
