Obaoman and Stiles Smith, two yonng white men, the former oharged with selling whiskey and the latter with grand larceny, made their escape from the County Jail last Saturday night, and, up to this writing, have not been captured. They effected their escape by loosening the cap of the heating flue in the floor, using a piece of iron which they bent in the shape of a wrench. After lifting the cap, tbey reached through the opening and unscrew? ed the huts on tbe bolts, -which went through the floor from tbe ceiling under? neath. This accomplished, the prisoners let themselves down into the room below and escaped through a window. When Sheriff Gaines discovered the. escape, he and his Deputies started in search of tbe prisoners, and traced them to the home of Mr. Dock. Martin, Smith's father-in-law. Martin said the prisoner* did not tarry long there. A search was made of tbe premises but they were not found.

Sheriff Gaines feels that ho will soon baye both of them be? hind the bars again. News reached Anderson last Thursday from Mt Carmel, a small town on the Savannah Yalley Railroad, in Abbeville County, of a threatened riot on the part of some negroes. The trouble began on tbe Saturday preceding, when Doc Sanders, a noted negro desperado in that section, was killed by T. G. Baker and John R. Tarrant, while resisting arrest.-. These gentlemen bad a warrant for Sanders, and whon they attempted to arrest him he opened fire on the officers with his pistol. Tbey returned the fire, killing Sanders instantly. The Coroner's Jary rendered a verdict of justi? fiable homicide, end tbe negroes at once began to make threats of revenge. The Mt. Carmel section is thickly settled with negroes and has comparatively few white people in it No serious trouble was thought of until Wednesday night, when thenegroe3 held a secret meeting, and early next morning the State authorities' were notified of the condition of affairs. The Abbeville Rifles and the Palmetto Guards, of this city, were notified to hold themselves ready to go to the scene of trouble Capt, McGill, of the Palmetto Guards, could not get all of bis Company together, but a number of citizens volun? teered their services to go. A telegram was sent to Mt. Carmel, and later in the evening a reply was received stating that all was quiet and the services of the troops would not be needed. Six or seven of tbe negroes were arrested and carried to Ab? beville. The Ordinance to require the suspension of secular business in this city on Sunday, which was adopted bv the City Council and published in the Intelligences last week .caused considerable comment among our citizens. Many of them condemned it and said they could see no need of it. Nearly everybody agreed with the spirit of the law, but thought the city fathers were a little too extreme in the measure, as it would stop tbe delivery of milk, meat, bread and ice as was the custom, and the filling of prescriptions at a drug store on Sunday. Tbe Ordinance was tbe main topic of conversation on tbe streets and in the homes, and it was Boon evident that somo change would have to bs made in the law. Sunday came and the police were unusually active in enforoing the law, and as a result eight or ten cases were on the Mayor's docket when be reached his office Monday morning, one of the first cases being against an Alderman, who plead guilty to the charge. Tbe other defendants engaged Messrs. Bonham & Watkins to represent them, the Conncil being repre? sented by City Attorney Prince. When the cases were called, Gen. Boa ham called tbe attention of tbe Mayor to the State law on tbe same subject, and. maintained that . the Ordinance was not in conformity to that law. After hearlrg the arguments the Mayor dismissed all tbe cases. On Mon? day afternoon the Council met and passed a new Ordinance, using, for the most part, the langnage of the State law. This Ordi? nance is published in another column. Last Thursday night a large and appre? ciative an die nee gathered at the Opera House to witness that interesting and popu? lar comic opera, "La Mascotte," in three ac'.s, by a company of home talent, under the excellent management of Mrs. J. D. Maxwell. Tbe entertainment throughout was a grand success, and several persons in the audience who had witnessed the rendition of the opera by stage profession? als, spoke id yery complimentary terms of tbe performance, and said it could not be excelled. The leading characters were sustained by tbe following ladies and gen? tlemen : Bettina, tbe "Mascot," Miss Mae Miller, whose beanty and melodious voice made her peculiarly adapted to tbe role; Plppo, tbe Sheppard boy, Mr Joe MoUully, who acquitted himself well; Fiametta, tbe Princess, Miss Christine vonBorstel, who charmingly sustained her part in her lovely soprano voice; Lorenzo, Mr. J. 6. Cunningham, who, in his fine bass voice, more than pleased his audience; Prince Frederick, Mr, P. K. MoCully, Jr., who did his part to perfection; Bocco, the farmer, Mr. R. M. Baker who added new laurels to his already well-known reputa? tion as one of Anderson's beet amateurs. The remainder of tbe cast all did exceed? ingly well. The ohorueea, especially, were very fine. Tbe costumes of the players were gotten np especially for the occasion and were very attractive and handsome. Tbe Company had the support of an excel? lent orchestra, led by Mrs. Maxwell at the piano. Tbe applause was liberal and fre? quent. Tbe Company bas been persuaded to repeat tbe opera, and will do so next Wednesday night. Oo out and hear it. Tou will enjoy it. Death of a Popular Citizen. On Monday evening the sad news reached the city that Mr. Tbomas ?. Sherard, one of Anderson County's most popular and substantial citizens, had died suddenly that afternoon at 2 o'clock, and the announcement was a great shock to his many friends, some of whom had had the pleasure of greeting him on the streets only a few days preceding, when he was looking as hale and hearty as usual. On Monday afternoon Mr. Sherard was having some plowing done in a small Eatch near his yard, and about 2 o'clock e stepped out to give the negro, who was doing the work, some instructions, and while standing at tbe end of a row he suddenly fell to the ground. The negro immediately ran to his side, at the same time calling to Mrs. Sherard, who was in the honse. She was at his side in a few seconds, but before she could scarcely realize what had .happened her devoted husband had breathed his last. Heart failure or apoplexy is supposed to have caused his death. 'His.father died in the same manner. Mr. Sherard was born and reared in the section where he died, and was the eldest son of the late Wm. S. Sherard. He was in the 72nd year of his age, but was a remarkably'well preserved man, and a stranger would not nave placed him at more than 50 years of age. He was educated at the old Anderson Male Academy, where Mr. O. B. VanWyok now lives. After graduating from the Academy he returned to tbe old home and kept store there until 1852, when he came back to Anderson and engaged in business with the late A. M. Holland, on Granite Bow, in the room now occupied by Wilhite & Wilhite, they being the first to occupy that room after it waa built. They continued together there in business for a few years, when they dis? solved, Mr. Holland moving to Holland's Store. Mr. Sherard then engaged in the merchant tailoring business at tbe same old stand with the late Jesse B. Smith, and continued there nearly up to the war, when he returned to the old home and opened a store. Since the war he has continued to merchandise at the same place. In 1872 the deceased married Miss Virginia Baskins, who, with five sons and three daughters, survive him. He never joined a Church, but was partial to tbe Associate Beformed Presbyterian Churob, which he attended and to which he was a liberal contributor. This morning, at 10 o'clock, after ap? propriate funeral services, conducted by Rev. B. C. Ligon, tbe remains were in? terred in the Generoscee Churchyard, near the home of the deceased. In the death of Mr. Sherard, Anderson County loses one of her best and most substantial citizens, and throughout his long life he lived up to the golden rule, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." He possessed a modest, unobstrusive disposition, but was yery firm iu his principles and opinions, and never hesitated to express them when called on. He was yery kind and liberal, and never turned a deaf ear to a worthy object of charity. He was a man of very superior judgment, and was very suc? cessful in his business, having accumu? lated a considerable estate. - For several years past ho was a Direc? tor of the Bank of Anderson. In every relation of life he discharged his duties faithfully, and in his immediate neigh? borhood especially his place will be hard to fill. We join the many friends of the be? reaved family in tendering our sympa? thies. Society Dots.

Welcome Dots Well, Mr. Editor, I will give a few dots from this section providing they do not fall ioto your waste baske', as I would liko for the readers of the Intelligencer to hear from us once iu a while. We have been having some good weather ou our crops, although we have not had any rain in two weeks till Saturday, 15th inst., when we had a fine rain, which made the farmers all feel very tl a nkful. Some of our good neighbors are through hai vesting their grain while others are just begun, but we hope that all will get through and save what little wheat we have, for, after the hard wiuter, our crops as a r-eneral thing are very short. Cotton and corn crops in this section are look? ing fine. Mr. John William*' little girl, who has been confined to her bed so long with rheumatism is not improving, we regret to say. Rev. M.

ANSWER.?"Eternal vigilance is the price of a living, and we must have bread. We work for our cus? tomers when they are not here, and hence we are ready when they come. Q.?Why are you forever getting in New Goods ? A.?There is a never ceasing stream outward, and we must keep a contin? uous inflowfan order to keep on a level. Q.?Why are people forever gab? hing about you, pro and con ? A.?Our competitors feel the blows we have dealt them, and would resent the damage done them. Our cus? tomers talk because we give them something worthy of mention. Q.?Why are other merchants al? ways throwing off on your goods ? A.?They hope to scare timid cus? tomers off tbe track, but they only urge them on. ?Why is }t you never have time to talk with a friend ? Other people say they have more time than any? thing else. A.?We don't have time to talk because our customers, who are really our employers, demand our very best services for their money paid. Q?Why is your house forever crowded with goods new and custom? ers bright ? A.?We are always crowded with goods because our employers (cus? tomers) are usually on hand demand? ing the stuff, and we must have it lor them. We are usually crowded with customers because the average man knows which side his bread is butter? ed. We acknowledge no dead, dull seasons. Q.?Why don't you employ more help, and Dot keep so pushed all the time ? A.?Ah.! There's the point. Why don't we do lots of things to make our business more expensive and charge tbe difference to you when you trade with us ? Right here's where hundreds of good men drop their candy. Our patrons want to pay for a store administration honestly and economically managed. They want full value for their dollars without paying a few cents extra for an idle clerk or two to sit around and whittle on old goods boxes. In short, we pay for the honest dollars we get with honest goods at honest prices. And that's why we laugh while competi? tion frets. ?
