At the close of Home Sohool last Friday the Principal delivered a special reward to Jimmie Cralg, who bad that day completed his course. In the fourteen yeaisof its existence this is the second Instance where | a pupil has completed the entire course, from'.primary up,' without interruption from sickness or other causes, Last year his brother, Sammie Cralg, completed an uninterrupted corrse,. and was awarded s special prize. Bo\b these boys began their coarse in the Honob School at six years of | age and continued without losing more j than two Keeks, all absences counted to -- gether. The Principal thinks such per? severance deserves special notice. Wb notice tbst young Flemming who cut Policeman Atkins, at Tallalah Falls last week, states to the Greeoville Ne-ws that he was not drunk as stated, but that the fight was pushed on him. Tne Iktel xiokncx&'s account of the a flair was ob? tained from several eye witnesses, and among others, one of the officers who as? sisted in making the arrest and who rpoke of everything as coming under his own . observation. We do not wlab to prejudice the case in any way, and make in is state ment to show that we were very cautious about our statement, and only gave it as we got it from those who were in position to know the facts We are glad to be> able to state that Policeman Ajkina is Improv 1 ing and will probably recover. A Memorial Asacci&ton was organized in Ander?oj last week, and tbe following officers were sleeted: Miss Leonora C. Hubbard eleote? by unanimous vote as President; Vice Presidents, Mrs. W. W.

The Matinee given by tbe Anderson Driving Association Friday afternoon, together with tbe blcyole races, attracted quite a crowd to tbe race track Friday afternoon. Tbe following is the result of j the various races that were run: Bruoe's ?*Malndee" beat Wise's "WadeHampton," making on the last race tbe mile i;a 2 27}. There were several other races attempted which resulted In workouts. In tbe bicy? cle races Eugene Fant and Jim Maxwell won tbe boys' race. If the Association could arrange to have a stand with seats for those who are willing to pay a small sum for tbe comfort, they would do much to make the race track popular with our people, espeoially to those who love fine stock. And then let our liverymen put on a line of hacks st a very low rate?say 10 cents one way, or 15 cents for tbo round trip. A crowd could always be counted on to go oat and witness these contests of speed. Another of our old citizens has passed away. The death of Mr. John Dairy mple, of Fork Townahlp, occurred May 28, lb95. Originally from Laarens County, Mr. Dalrymple ban been a resident of this County since 1872. As a man, oltiaen and Christian, Mr. Dalrymple lived a life above jeproacb, Three generations are left to I monrn him ?ho was a kind and taring parent, grand-parent and great grand? parent. A calm and peaceful end was the fitting close to a well spent and useful life. ' On Wednesday, May 29tb, Rev. Wm. Alken I Kelly, Jr.. of the M. E. Church, South, of which Church Mr. Dairy mpic was a mem? ber, assisted by Rev. J. F. Singleton, of the Baptist Church, conducted the funeral servloee at Townville Presbyterian Church, the body being laid to rest beside that of Mr. Dairymple's late wife in the Presby? terian Churchyard. Mr. Dalrymple is survived by three sons, John R., Thos. J. and Dorsey E. We sympathize with ths afflicted ones in their bereavement and pray God's blessing upon them in the hour of their sore trial. Mrs. Catherine D Bewley, widow of tbe late Wm. D Bewley, died at her residence in this city on Monday morning at about 8 o'clock. Sbe had been ill for a long time and her death was not unlooked for, though the end came very suddenly. While the other* members of the family were at breakfast she dropped into a quiet slumber, and in this state, with scarcely the semblanc* of a struggle, she passed away. Mr*. Bewley was a native of Ten? nessee, from whioh State she came here with here bnsband many years ago. In early life she became a member of tbe Baptist Church, and tbrougb her long life of 68 years, she lived the life of a follower of the meek and lowly Nazarene. The funeral was held at the Baptist Church on Tuesday morning, conducted by the pastor, Rev. O. L. Martin, and Dr. D. E. Frlerson. The following gentlemen acted as pall bearers: CoL J. N. Brown, F. T. W?hlte, J. L. Tribble, A. S. Stephens, L. P. Smith and J. P. Snllivan. The remains were laid away in tbe Church cemetery by th9 side of her husband. The exhibition of work done by her pupils at Miss L. C. Hubbard's school house yesterday afternoon was very credit? able, both to pupils and teachers. In the first room to the right as we entered the school building, we were shown the work of the youngest pupils under the tuition of Miss Anna Brown. This work shows care and skill in teaching on the part of the teacher, and oloso application on tbe part of the pupils. Ia the next room, presided over by Miss Ellen Gordon, we saw tbe work done by the next higher grade of pupils. Tbe special feature of this room was the map drawings, which was certain? ly very fine. Passing on we came to tbe room of tbe principal, Miss Hubbard. Here we saw some excellent work, consist? ing of physical maps of South Carolina, the Southern and New England States, and also of Australia. Maps of physical regions and ocean ourrents and of Asia were also on exhibition, and were very fine pieces of work. In tbe music room we were shown some excellent work in writing music done by some of the pupils. In the next room we saw charts, &c. The special feature in this, room was a chart made by Miss Hubbard and Dr. S. M. Orr, illustrating, a series of lectures on physiology delivered before the school by Dr. Orr. Many other interesting things are to be seen lh tbe various rooms, but we are unable to go more into details at pres? ent. The exhibition was aeen by a large number of the friends and patrons of the Home School, find was well worth the time and attention of any one interested in the advanced methods of teaching in use by the Home School. ' - The cry of hard times does not appear to effect tbe marriage question, end to judge from tbe number of conjunctions of tbe kind taking place, our young people do not think "marriage a failure." On last Tuesday three marriages were celebrated In the Midway vicinity, tbe contracting parties' being as follows: First, at tbe residence of onr old friend, Jolly Poole, at about 10 o'clock a. m., his eldest daughter, Miss Nannie, was married to Mr. Sam Harrison, Rev. J. N. H. Summerei per? forming the ceremony. Tbe preacher then went on to Midway Church where be "tied the knot" at about 12 o'clock for Miss Iiula, another daughter of onr friend Poole, and Dr. James T. Bolt, the groom being the youngest son of ex Sheriff W. L Bolt, and a recent graduate of the Balti? more Medical College. Jost before this marriage took place, Rev. N. J. Holmen, of Greenville, spoke the words whicb joined two young lives in tbe holy bonds of wedlock, the contracting parties being Mr. Freeman, of Greenville, and Miss May, tbe eldest daughter of Mr. Jno B. Neal, of above Midway. Owing to the absence of Mr. Langston he was unable to be present, on any of these occasions, and we cannot as a consequence go into the details. We are informed that- the Church,, was very tastily decorated and everything passed off in elegant style. Tbe Intelli? gences joins tbe many friends of these happy young people in wishing them tbe greatest amount of happiness, with a min? imum of trouble and unbappiness. in their married life.' On Thursday morning, at 9 o'clock, at the residence of R. L. Osborne, In this city, Mr. Robert L. Robinson and Miss Jane Gaillard are to be married. We ea tend to the young couple in advance our beat wishes, for a successful journey through life. Girls' High Scheel. i Tbe Girls Hi zh School commencement exercises, which took place at the Opera House last night, were very enjoyable, no t? withstanding the large crowd, and the consequent best of tbe house.

In the issue of May 8th, a correspondence from Lebanon appeared in which ungod? liness was denounced. Well, in the last issne, May 29th, some brother made a reply, in which he stated that the article from Lebanon "saddens bis heart." We ask why should the heart of a righteous man be made sad by some brother jast simply reproving the wicked of thier wick? ed ways, and warning those who are hon? est before God to ''come out from among them and not be partakeis of their sins" by fellow-shipping such acts? It indeed saddens my heart to see inob actions right here among us, and nobody lays it to heart. And worst of all here con es a brother who professes to be a follower of the Lamb and denounces the correspondent as injuring the feelings of those whom Christ died by bis ' unmerciful judgments." Now, we will ask any candid reader, is it judgment to proclaim those things whioh are clearly seen by us all. We can know a good tree by its fruits. The same way of a man. A good tree brlngeth forth good fruit; a good man briogetb forth good fruits. So when we see these bad fruits, that was referred to by the correspondent, we can know what kind of people they are, and I do not consider it judgment to simply tell them that it is bad. We will ask again who it Is that loves the brethren, but be that gives them warn log in due season, in the faoe of denunoia tion and jealousy of a perverse people? We must not Btand idle when so many people, for whom Christ died, need his spirit to aidtbem in their journey to heavenly home. Every man to whom Christ is revealed Is responsible for not warning the wicked from their wicked ways. See Eze. 3:17,18. But the question the brother wishes an swered is, "What does the correspondent call ungodliness?" We will answer that any and everything that is not like God no godliness It is true the spirit of Christ makes us free from the law of sin and death, but not from the "holy," juet and good law of God. It makes us free from that which the law of God condemns?sin ?and places in our heart a wonderous love for God's law, insomuch that we will cease to transgress it.- Christ said to the impo tent man after He had healed him, "sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon yon which is equivalent to, "cease transgress ing tbe law." If a man sinned no more which Christ certainly told that man to do then he would have to cease transgressing the law, for "transgression of the law is sin." A principle in a man that leads him to disregard any of the commandments of God's law la an ungodly principle, and such disregard is tbe fruits of that ungodly principle. Whosoever "turneth his ears away from hearing the law, even his ftrayer shall be abomination." "To tbe aw and to tbe testimony, if tbey apeak not according to this word, it is because there Is no light in them," That Is, It because God does not dwell in them. Obi that the people, especially the good brother who denounces the reproval of the immoral conduct, would let God dwell in them so "that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled In them." "Great peace have they that love thy law, and nothing shall offend tnem " God forbid that I should attempt to offend any one. I have nothing but tbe tendereat love for everybody and would to God that every one who profess to be followers of tbe Lord were really followers, batata*! how few of them study the life of Christ to know which way he went Now, my kind readers, wherever yon be, don't be offended at me for anything I say, for it is through love to you that I speak. In eon elusion I will t ay let God in your heart, so that you may be made a new creature, and after ho has healed you of your sinful nature, "go your way and sin no more. Anything contrary to this is ungodliness Yours vory lovingly. Jas. M. Smith. Townvllle Locals. We are having fine weather at this time The fishermen don't have to carry a pick to break tbe ice with now. Mr. John Dalrymple. of near this place, died on the 28th inst. Mr. Dalrymple was born in Laurens County, June 16,1818 He moved to this County over 20 years ago, and joined the Methodist Church ten or twelve years aro and has lived a devoted Christian life. He raised a nice family of boys, of whioh T. J. Dalrymple, John Dal rymp'e, Dorsa Dalrymple, and perhaps others, compose bis family. He was an honest, upright, Christian gentleman, and will be a great loss to our community We extend our sympathies to the bereaved family.

Mr. Editor, we visited your city not long ego, and while there we received a Sub from the very polite President of tbe ank of Anderson and carried Mrs. "Rosin De Bow" through the Cotton Mills. We were struck with tbe neatness of tbe hands, tbey all looking healthy, like they were treated well. We have been through fac? tories where the hands looked pale and haggard, and bad a dogged-don't-care ap? pearance; but not so with the hands in the Anderson factory?they seem jolly and happy in their work. But the President of these mills is a Christian gentleman, that tells tbe tale. He looks after his hands and sees that they are cared for. Every person in these United States that is in power onght to be a devoted Chris tian, and than tbe oppression would stop and the liberty loving people of this glo? rious country would be prosperous and bappy. Old Rosin Ds Bow. Iola Items. Spring has at last arrived, bringing with it some very hot weather. We think this is the most beautiful season of all the year. Tbe trees and all vegetation are covered with green, which makes a picture beauti? ful to behold. The health of this community is very good at this writing. We have been having some very fine weather for the past few days, which was well appreciated by our farmers.

He says Texas is a fine State, but South Carolina is good enough for him. Mr. Editor, we cannot agree with your Lebanon correspondent about there being some of tbe most ungodly members in that Church that can be found anywhere. He Bays they lie, curse aad get drunk. He seems to be trying to make believe that the members of that Church are not doing their duty. I am not acquainted with any one who is a member of that Ohnroh who does as your correspondent says tbey do, and I think I am as well acquainted with the people that make up that Cburoh as be is. I have never known any member of that Cburoh to do a wrong that was not properly dealt with according to the rules governing the Baptist Church We think this correspondent had better be careful in the future now he criticises Church mem? bers.

A few months ago two men were pardoned out of the Texas State peniten? tiary by Governor Hogg on tbe ground that in all probability they were innocent of the crime for whioh for twenty long years they had served at hard labor. The case excited no little sympathy and it was widely advocated that the State In all justice should make some provision for their few remaining days. Nothing was done, however, and they have sunk Into tbe waters of oblivion with every circumstance pointing to the idea that they were sacrifices to the defects of tbe fee and jury system. New York is now exercised over a similar case, though one in whioh tbe victim did not suffer to tbe same extent as in the Texas case. ?

I don't see any difference in tbe weather here at Sanford and at home in north Georgia. It is a delightful spring every? where down South. The ride from Jack? sonville here was pleasant?no heat, no dust and the scenery along the way was lovely. Of course I missed tbe orange groves but I neyer saw greener trees or righter flowers or more luxuriant grass. Tbe cattle were all, fat and the oorn was on a boom. It was In the silk and tassle and higher than I ever saw corn In Flor Ida. It was planted on the ground of the old orange groves that had been fertilized and shaded for years and will make a fine crop. Vegetables and watermelons bave also been given a place in many of these old groves, and so something will be made out of tbe great disaster. Most of these groves bave been cut down and from many of tbe stomps new spronts are growing?growing from tbe standards but none from the bndded trees. They are all killed root and branch, and I don care much. I bave an idea that we have been dwarfing our fruit trees too much in tbe last twenty years. Tbe old standard peach trees in Georgia have gone. We boys used to climb to their high tops and gather great, big yellow peaches that had a nipple on the end. They were red and yellow and juioy. And there were large white ones called English peaches, and there vere old-fashioned Indian peaches that yc'u couldn't eat without having tbe juice u) run down the corners of your month. And there were small, pinkish olearstones that we pealed for cream and sugar. And there were the white Octo ber olearstones that were almost as good ?what has become of all these standard varieties? The Elbertais fine, I know, but it strains tbe little trees to bear them and makes them short-lived. An old time peach tree was good for twenty years but these budded ones give out in ten. Just so it is with budded orange trees; tbey are shortMi ved and they can stand a freeze. I rode out to see the re mains of tho famous Speer grove and was surprised to see the trees Bending up tall, vigorous shoots from near the roots. The tops are all dead, but in two years these shoots will be bearing fruit. That Speer grove of five acres has given a net income of 87,000 a year for twenty-five years, and it may do it again. Florida is not dead by a good deal. Business is very dull here in Sanford, but the people are not hacked as bad as they were three months ago. Almost everybody has found something to do. Truok farming is going on and the river Ib still fall of fish. The workshops of the railroads keep hun dreds of hands busy and their wages maintain many families. There are still many wealthy people here and near here who had other properties besides orang groves and so trade and traffic go on In a limited way and Sanford la still one of the prettiest towns in Florida. I have not-heard a word about politics or silver or gold since I've been here?and I don' dare to introduce the subject Judge Welborn said I had better not. I was in Texas when the Hogg and Clark excite ment was up and one day a drummer on the train rose up and said: "Gentlemen I rise to make a motion. I move tbat the first man who mentions Hogg or Clerk in this car ehaUbo put off the train.' The motion got half a dozen seconds and was carried tumpjtuously. Very soon another drummer agkedfnother for some tobacco and he cut off half of it and put it in his pocket. The drummer said "Well, I wouldn't make a 'hog' of my self," and tbey had liked to have put him off for that. I wish the newspapers would let us all rest a' month or two. It is too soon?there ls.no election in Bight But I do hear a good deal of talk about the exposition. Florida will be on hand with a fall display of her wonderful re? sources. I witnessed the preparations of the Plant system today. They nave begun on a magnificent scale. Mr. Plant bad an exhibit at Paris, but this will eclipse that and any other that a railroad corporation has ever made. He Is. having a map made of Florida that will be sixty feet long and twelve feet wide that will be geographical, geological, tropical and and every other "cal" and will be the fi neat and most artistic niece of map work ever made. It will take his artists two months more to finish it. Of course, the phosphates will occupy a liberal space. But I am not authorized to disclose what tbe Plant system baa designed. Of course, tbe other railroads will Reek to emulate Mr. Plant and will be on hand And so the great exposition keeps on swelling in its'proportions and it is now certain that It will be a grand show and a grand success. When it was first proposed I thought that it was the most obeeky, foolhardy thing I ever heard of, but At? lanta knows no such word as fall. The southland is coming to the front. Even tbe reunion at Houston is not only tole? rated but patronized by Northern sol? diers. General Schofield was there and smiled gallantly and lovingly on Miss Winnie Davis. I love everybody who loves her, for she is the daughter of the Confederacy. She is our Joan of Arc. Florida Is still the same delightful land ?the land of flowers. All kinds and colors adorn the grounds that border on tbe sidewalks. They were not killed. The sweet odor from the cape jasmine perfumes the air wherever you go. But Florida was not named for flowers. Ponce de Leon discovered it on Easter Sunday, which in Spanish is "Pasqua Florida," or the feast ot flowers. With its 1,200 miles of coast and its balmy breezes that are ever breathing?breath? ing gently from the gulf to the Atlantio or tbe Atlantio to the gulf?it seems to have been created by a kind providence as a sanitarium for this great nation. Blessed are the sick who come here. Would tbat all could come, but human destiny is still the same as it was 1800 years ago. There are still some who, when the healing waters" are troubled by the angel, haye nobody'to carry them down to the pool. 2$flw? It is. a strange, mysterious fact that for a month ana more I have had a distressing cough that racked me day and night and no medi? cine would relieve me. Tbe day I arrived in Sanford it left me and has not returned. This was my wife's experience last fall when she reaobed Clear Water and it is everybody's who cornea with similar complaints. Bill Art. -- During 1894 the circulation of Scrip? tures by the American Bible Society in China was 305,715 volumes, a greater number than ever before., ? It is said that tbe blue jay will keep on laying eggs until she has four to sit on. If you remove one of her eggs she will lay one more egg or will desert the nest and lay four more. ? During the last four, years there bave been erected in the olty of Chicago forty new Methodist mission churches, valued at nearly $500,000. Of these thirty-one have become self-supporting. ? When a milkman in Stamford, Conn., was charged with using impure water In his milk and thua causing typhoid fever the pastor of a local cburoh took the mat? ter up In his sermon and suggested tar? ring and feathering the offender or burn? ing him alive. ?'A woman of means at Smyrna, Del., has so cunning a fashion of canning whole tomatoes raw tbat a Philadelphia concern has already contracted with her for her whole output of this season, which will be from 15,000 to 20,000 quart oans, worth from 8800 to 81,200. ? Japan's small losses in men in the battios with the Chinese were due in part to tbe aooldental use of a bullet-proof material. Owing to the severe cola, tbe Japanese wore a quantity of floss silk under tbelr olothas; this, when tbey were hit, was found in many cases to have stopped the bullets. ? Alonzo B. Miller, a farmer cf Lyons, Neb., has begun suit against the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway Com? pany for 878,900 for failure of the company to whistle for each orosaing. For such failure a Nebraska statute imposes a pen? alty of 85Q0, and Miller noted 1,578 times on whioh the engines passed tbe crossing Without whistling from May 4, 1894, to AnguBt 9 of the Bame year. The oaao will be a test of the law. ? The coffee crop of South and Central America this year will be about 10 per cent short of tbe crop last year, acoording to statistics received in New York. Tbe Brazilian crop last season was 7,100,000 bags and tbe new crop is estimated at considerably less. The Mexican and Contral American crops are increasing yearly. The world's consumption of coffee last year was 11,307,250 bags, of which the United States was first as a consumer and Brazil first as a producer. ?General Wade Hampton tells William E. Curtis tbat he never knew a man to be scared to death in battle, although there were a great many cases of death which might be attributed to this cause. Men were repeatedly found dead upon the field without wounds upon them. He does recollect, however, a case of a man whose death was caused by his being drafted into tbe confederate army. He bad an intense horror of. being forced Into the service and immediately after he learned that be had been oouBoripted was taken ill. The provost marshal believed that he was feigning and attempted to punish him, but the man kept growing worse and finally died from no disease but the dread of going into the army.
