The Bowersville correspondent of the Hartwell Sun requests tbe Intelligences to copy tbe following: *'Mies Dora, daugh- I ter of James L. Baylors, died Sunday morning the 16th inst She was just bud ding Into young womanhood when tbe grim destroyer claimed her and took ber away from doting parenta and loving broth? ers and sisters. It really Seems as if this I is one of the instances in which God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to per form. This is the third time that death hiB entered the home of this good man In the short spaoe of 14 months, two of his sons having died last year; one in May and oae in November. Mr. Saviors moved from South Carolina to this County in tbe fall of 1893. He is a hard working, upright man, and is honored and beloved in the community in which be lives. He has the heartfelt sy mpatby of the people of Bowers? ville aod surrounding community in his sore affliction. The writer Bincerely hope* that the afflictions which, seem so severe j may be the means of working out a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory for.tbe bereaved family in the world beyond. May they be submissive to the wm of Him who chasteneth whom He loveth. And may they take comfort in the thought that the loved ones that have passed over tbe river are stationed as sen? tinels at the beautiful gates, there to wait and watch the coming of the entire family as they come up from this world of sin, Borrow and death, one by one to make the golden city of the new Jerusalem their everlasting abiding place." It rarely happens that the community is so shocked as when it became known that Mrs. Dr. A.. P. Johnstons bad passed aw&y> A week preceding her death she was suddenly taken 111, bat in a few days her condition was more favorable and it I was hoped uhe would speedily recover. On Friday night another ohange oame over ( her, and she gradually grew worse until death claimed her as its victim Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Johnstons was in tbe 31st year of her nge, and was the youngest ] daughter of :he late Mil ford Barrios. At tbe age of 13 years she joined tbe Baptist Church, and. after her marriage to Dr. Johnstons, in December, ISS 1, she trans ferred her membership to tbe Presbyterion Church. Sbu was a most zealous and faithful Christian, and took a very active part in the benevolent work of the 'church She possessed a most winning, charming and cultivated personality, with a bright, cheerful social disposition, and made a friend of every acquaintance, who will long cherish her memory. On Monday afternoon tbe funeral cervices were held in the Presbyterian Church, which wsb crowded to its utmost seating capacity by the many friends of the deceased and her loved ones. Tbe services wore conduoted by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Summerei, assist? ed by Rev. Dr. Frierson, and the remains were interred in Silver Brook Cemetery. Tbe deceased leaves a devoted husband and two littl? boys, one of whom is eleven years old and tbe other a few days old. Since the above was written and pat Id type the infant has passed away, having died last night and was buried this morn iDg. v-. Court of General Sessions. Court convened on Monday at 10 a. m , I his Honor Judge Aldrich presiding. The Solicitor and other officers of the Court were promptly on hand. Judge Aldrich stated to the Grand Jury that the preceding Judge had already charged them as to their general duties, and that his charge would be confined to I the bills of indictment on which they were to pass. He then charged them t he law on each particular case before them. In I speaking of assault and battery of high and aggravated nature, which is an as? sault with a deadly weapon, his Honor said that a knife was tbe weapon of a cow? ard, and that a brave, honorable man ^' Id never resort to the use of a knife as a weapon, except in cases of extreme ne- ( cessity. Alter tue Judge's charge the Jury then retired with the bills given them for consideration. I The Court issued an order for the deliv? ery by the Sheriff of Oconee to the Sheriff of Anderson of John Johnson, charged with murder, the crime having been com mitted in this County. The Conrt excused from duty as Petit Jurors A. Lee Blake and W. S. Murphy. Tbe eise of Elias Earle. charged with the murder of Henry Whitfield, was then taken up. Messrs. Simpson <fe Hood ap? pearing for the defendant and Mr. Ansel for the State. In this case Col. Simpson being absent, Mr. Hood had the entire management, which he did with marked ability, and is receiving tbe congratula? tions of his friends in having gotten his man off with a verdict of manslaughter. This case consumed the entire day. The case against Bryce Clements, char? ged with compound larceny, was not pressed by the Solicitor. During the trial of Elia? Earle the Grand Jury brought in the following bills : Tal Bowers alias John Brad'ey. Larce-1 ny of live stock. True bill. | Wm. Davis and Willis Hunter. Assault and battery with intent to kill. True bill. Pear Anderson alias Pearl Wimbush. Larceny of live stock. True bill. This defendant when arraigned plead guilty to the charge, and was sentenced to two years and six months in the Penitentiary, and pay a line of one dollar. Edgar Hawkins.

True bill. Jesse Smith. Assault of a high and ag? gravated nature. True bill John Johnson. Murder. True bill. On Tuesday morning the trial of J. Mima Sullivan for the murder of Herman G Gilreath was begun, and is still in pro? gress. This case is likely to last until Friday morning. Intense interest is be? ing manifested, and the Court House is crowded with spectators. Several ladies of the city, taking advantage of this interest? ing case, are in attendance, and seem to take great interest in the proceedings. The State is represented in this case by M. F. Amel, Solicitor, Orr & Moocey, Tribble & Prince, and the defense by S. W. Melton, J. A. McCullough, J. W. Gray, J. E Breazeale and Bonham & Watkins. The Jury is composed of the following gentle? men : John B. Leverett, foreman, E. E. Harris, J. R. Seawright, R. W. Pruitt, W H. Wright, H. J. Martin, John M. Ash? ley, T. F. Drake, W. H. Martin, J. J. Co: ker, T. D. Stevenson and P. K. McCully. The Jury is to be kept together night and day until the case is ended. During the progress of the Sullivan trial on Tuesday the Grand Jury brought in the following bills: Lawrence Green. Assault nrd battery with intent to kilL No bill. Wm. Small and Thomas Cleveland. Housebreaking and compound larceny. True bill. Jason Summers, George Whitman, B. C. Acker and Riebard M. Scruggs. Nuisance ?keeping a place where intoxicating Li? quors are sold. True bill. Wm. Friar. Same as above case. True bill Mos?? Karle. Assault and battery of high and agerayat'ad nature. No bill. George Wright. Housebreaking anrL grand larceny. True bill, Tbe Grand Jury will have no more bills to present, and are engaged to-day in in? vestigating other matters that have been ciUed to their attention by the Solicitor. They will make their Presentment and be discharged to-morrow. It is said that a Sortion of their Presentment will cause a ttle sensation, and somebody is going to suffer. Judge Aldrich is pushing the Sullivan case as rapidly as possible, but it will not be concluded before to morrow evening or Fridday morning. A Lady's Trunk Opened by Officers. Last Sunday morning Miss Martha Brigman, from Autun, came to Anderson on the Blue Ridge train, and stopped over here until 3 o'clock, when she left on the Greenville train. Her trunk, which bad her name plainly marked on it, was checked to this place. After her arrival she went off to spend tbe few hours with some acquaintances, and tbe trunk was placed in the baggage room with tbe check still on it. An hour later State Constable Massey. accompanied by Officers Robb and Diillngbam, made their appearance at the depot. About the Bame time Rebecca Groves, the stewardess of tbe waiting rooms, oame to tbe depot and opened the baggage room to deliver a trunk (which belonged to a resident of the city) to George Caldwell. At this juncture the officers above mentioned entered the baggage room, eeiztd the trunk w'tK Miss Brigman'b name on it, carried it outside and Consta? ble Massey opened it. There were a nnmt ar of persons around the depot who saw wtat tbe officers did, and the affair was soon the talk of the town, and considerable indignation was expressed by everybody. Various reports of tbe seizure and conduct of the officers were cnnent, and, in oider to get a correct statement ot tbe facts, we approached Chief of Police Rose and asked him to give us a statement about it He said that Officer DiDiogham was at the depot when the Blue Ridge train arrived, and saw the trunk wben it was placed in the baggage room. Knowing, be said, that whiskey was being shipped to Anderson in trunks, and, after diligent inquiry, not finding anybody who knew or any person who bore the name which was on tbe trunk, be notified Constable Mas3ey and they, with Officer Dilllngbsm, wept to tbe depot. Neither of the Railroad agents were there, be said, and be concluded to wait and see tbe trunk. While thus waiting, George Caldwell, he said, handed him a key which be found on the ground. Directly the stewardess oame and opened the baggage room to deliver a trunk to George Cald? well. He turned the key which bad been placed in his hand over to Mr. Massey, and they entered the room, took tbe trunk out and tbe latter unlocked it. They saw at once that tbe trunk contained female clothing, and, without moving a thing, re locked it and placed it back in tbe baggage room. Constable Massey and Officer Dii? llngbam corroborated the above statement Rebecca Groves, the stewardess, was asked about the matter, and she says when the officers entered the baggage room and told her what they wanted, she protested against them taking the trunk out, and asked them to wait until she could Bend for Mr. Johnson or Mr. Thornton, the agents. This they refused to do, and Con? stable Massey, she says, asked her for a chisel or a screwdriver. 8be told them that she bad neither, and says Mr. Massey went off and in a few minutes returned with a obisel, which he uaed in prizing tbe trunk open. She says they searched through the trunk to the bottom and found nothing but the lady's clothing. Agent Thornton says the trunk was not looked when he wept to examine It after be bud been told that it had been opened. He says there were other witnesses stand log aroo'id who corroborate tbe statement made by the stewardess. Before the departure of the 3 o'clcok train the lady called for the trunk and had it checked to Greenville. Mr. Thorn? ton informed her what had happened and she was so mort:fl?d that tears flowed from her eyes. Tbe affair has been reported to the rail? road officials, and it is not yet known what will be tbe result. It is the general opinion that the officers acted too hastily, and it is to be hoped that this experience will cause them in future to exercise a little more discretion in such cases. Sleeting or the Executive Committee. In accordance with previous announce? ment, the County Democratic Executive Committee met in the County Supervisor's office last Saturday and was called to order by the County Chairman, W. T. McGill. The Secretary being absent, TV. C. Pick ens was appointed Secretary pro tern, Hon. J P. G enn. member of tbe State Executive Committee, was present, and was called upon to make a report, which he did. Mr. Mih6ff9y offered the following reso? lution which was adopted: Resolved, That this executive commit? tee endorse the action of the Stat3 Demo? cratic Executive Committee in ordering a primary election for the ncmination of delegates to the Constitutional Conven? tion, and their recommendation as to the plan of conducting said election. Mr, G. E. Prince offered tbe following resolutions which were adopted: Resolved, That in the appointment of the managers cf tbe Democratic primary for members of the Constitutional Con? vention heretofore ordered by the State Executive Committee, the appointment shall be bo made that both factions of the Democratic party shall be represented on the board of managers ai recommended by the State Executive Committee. Resolved, That where either faction is not sufficiently represented in a club to furnish two men for this purpose, then this committee shall appoint such mem? ber or members from Bouie other club who shall not be objectionable to the momber of this committee from that club. Resolved, That in ca e any manager thus appointed fails or refuses to aot in his capacity, then the acting managers shall appoint some member of the club to the vacancy thus created. Resolved, That the member frcm a clnb who shall be thus appointed manager for a club other than his own shall have the right to vote in the clnb where be acts as manager or clerk without becoming a member thereof, On motion of Mr. J. M. Payne, the fol iowiog gentlemen were appointed a sub? committee to act on the appointment of managers of the primary election : TV. T. McGill, J. K. Hoed, J. M Payne and G. E Prince. On motion of John Eskew the follow? ing eommittee was appointed to arrange for funds to carry on the campaign ; John Eskew, J. K. Hood, J. M. Payne, S. N. Pearman and J, L, Glenn. Mr Hood offered the following resolu? tion : Be it resolved by this committee that it be recommended to tbe voters taking part in the primary election to pledge all candi? dates for nomination for the Convention to use their best endeavois to have the Con? stitution adopted referred back to tbe voters for ratification. ThiR resolution did not receive a second Mr. Hood then offered the following: Be it resolved by this Committee that it be recommended to the Democratic voters of this County that they vote for candi? dates for the Constitutional Convention on the basis of giving equal representation to both the Reformers and Conservatives, as contributing to the welfare of Ihe whole people of tbe State, aud as dividing the responsibility for this momentous legisla? tion between tbe two factions composing the Democratic party in this State. By request the resolution wa'< seconded, whereupon Mr. J. M (I eon offered a resolution as a Kiil?.t;tute for Mr. Hood's, which was in effect as filluwa : That this Committee issue an address to the Demo? cratic voters urging them to lay asMe par? tisan feeling and vote for men as deleg des to the Convention on their merit. This resolution was seconded, and a somewhat general discussion followed on the two resolution?!, when, upon motion of Mr. M. A.,M. 'ffey, both resolutions were almost v^^dhously tabled. Congressman Latimer was present and participated in the discussion. He de nounced the proposition as undemocratic, and said the people would not pay any attention to any such recommendations The Committee arranged to have six campaign meetings throughout the C mntj' during tbe latter part of July. Sunset Forest. Editors Intemigknceb : On la?t Thnre day tbe little missionary Sunbeam Society of the First Baptist Church of this city, eDjoy ed a delightful pie nio at Sunset Forest. The happy little party and chaperons were met upon the grounds by Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Fretwell, who, with their characteristic hospitality, gave them a most cordial greet? ing. If any of your readers have not open fortunate enough to have visited this spot, I would suggest that there is a rare treat in store for them. Sunset Forest is about threo miles west of this city, of easy access, over a road of beautiful undulating landscape. It is an enclosure of one hundred acres of well wooded forest, containing the finest spring in upper Carolina. Heaven itself has smiled upon this en? chanted spot, givimr to it n beauty and loveliness that naturo alone can bestow, It has been known und appreciated by generations past, having been tbe play? ground of hosts of school boys and girlp, and 1b now owned by a generous, enter? prising oitizen, who is willing for all alike to share in its sweet blessings. Anderson is justly proud of such an attraction, and -vjciiQpe in the near future to see a band some hoTtLerected in Sunset Forest that will attract nulni5eriK>f--vi^tor8l(tbus giv? ing rest and happiness to many from the oare and bustle of city life. And now, we of tbe Sunbeam Society wish to return to Mr. and Mrs. Fretwell our sincerest thanks for tbe privilege of spending this charming day at Sunset Forest, J- F. E. A Jolly Pic Nie Party From Lebannon. Last Saturday week, a gay party of this place made a pic nio at the iron Bridge over Seneca River, in Oconee County. I'm not going to say one word about churches and religion, for I don't believe that our crowd had enough of that mo?t important of all things to make it necessary to air it in the newspaper, but we rejoice with those who have. Snflice it to say bere that our natures have been sufficiently renewed to make us eDjoy not man's work alone, but God'B also, and we were happy for the day. I wss only an honorary member of this delightful party; but could you have seen bow I erjoyed tbe cool lemonade and delicious dinner, you might have thought I was an "honorable" member of the Woman's Rights Society, or of home other Seat and popular organization of tbe day. at to-day I claim no other right tu<m to view this bridge, which seem? to be a thing of everlasting beauty and utility, and to think of the skill and ingenuity of man. We bad no music; but, as tbe vehicles passed to and fro over this structure, the sounds seemed more like music than the mere rattle of iron. It was also our right to view tbe back ground of this bridge? we mean those rugged old bills, covered with grand old oaks with beltings of dark? est foliage, while bere and there purpling shadows lie dense and close, almost to tbe brink of the waters that catch every gleam of the sunlight pouring down from a joy-, ous, universal heaven. The rush and feel? ing of the pure air seem to speak only of all thit-; while all about are Ihoso cool, dark nooks and corners either of stone or thick? est green foliage, and relioved only by tbe wild flowers 'Tis a fitting pl-.ce to pause. Our minds flitted baok to the long ago, and we saw tbe Indian slipping along bunting on this stream; but our unsophisticated minds could conjure np nothing save their growing corn, their camp fires burning, and .tbe musical names "Seneca" and "Oconee." Aa we gazed at tbe peacefully fljwing Seneca, we thought with the poet, MMen may come and men may go, But I go on forever *' Ob, no; she is never held in check for fear of running dry. It seemed to us that if we bad been Kip Van Winkle we would have lain us down bere and slept twenty years. Nothing seems to indicate any change, yet all is vane:.;.; and now we hear tbe voice of gayetyand laughter, now the whittle of the locomotive which brings to that pretty little station at Cherry's Crossing two beautiful girls from Seneca, and, in a ride of a few minutes, they Join our merry pio nio party Their arrival makes the joy of some of the boys more than ecstatic You see signs of thrift and energy all around bere But, in spite of all that Is done to convert this region into a specula? tive conntry, there are very few places where one can feel more entirely and un? divided ly an humble worshipper of nature. It dm fronts ns in forms that defy man and decay, and it Is for ns to bshold and revere in honeet alienee, It is with reluctance that we leave this charming Fpot, and we'll not soon forget tbe pleasant faces and merry voics of that other pio nio pa.rty we met there, even though strangers to us. On our way home we went a little out of our way to take in that famous institution, Ciemson College, where the noble boys of tbis grand old State are learning to walk alone. The flowers there are so beautiful and bo artistically arranged that we cannot, no, we cannot, dB&urlbe them. Tbe vege? tables were a Right to feast tbe pyes of the passer-by. The rheest! Well, it seems they might eat cheese with everything? even with nut meg. We spent three or four hours pleasantly on tbe campus*.
