Toney Creek section last Monday morn?
ing, at 9 o'clock. She bad been in bad
health for a number of years with some
lung trouble, and for the past two years
had been confined to her room. Mrs.
Cannon was a daughter of tbe late Dr John
Sullivan, of Greenville County, and was
about 85 yearn old. She bad many noble
qualities of both heart and mind, and was
most highly esteemed by all of her friends
and acquaintances. Truly a good woman
has gone to her reward. She leaves one
son and a host of relatives and friends to
mourn her death, her husband and two
daughters having preceded her to the
grave. Her remains were interred Tues?
day afternoon in the Shady Grove Church?

The Atlanta Constitution of last Satur?
day says: "Miss Martha E- Marshall,
daughter of Rsv. A. E. Marshall and sister
of Rev. A. A. Marshall, breathed her last
Thursday night, after a brief Illness. Miss
Marshall was 45 years old and her life had
been devoted to Christian work. She had
long been a faithful and consecrated mem?
ber of the Baptist Church and had a best
of friends who will sadly miss her in church
work. Miss Marshall was ill only for a
few days and her sudden deatb was a great
shook to tbe family. Her brother. Rev.
A. A. Marshall, is on his wedding tour,
and could not be located and consequently
knows nothing of tbe sad death of his Bis?
ter. Tbe remains of Miss Marsball will be
carried to Montezuma this morning on
the Central train that leaves the city at 7.30
o'clock." ?
Mr. John Wbltter, an employee of tbe
Anderson Cotton Mills, died Tuesday after?
noon, aged about 22 years. He bad been
siok with typhoid fever about three weeks,
and tbe attending physioian, Dr. Duckett,
says the case is a remarkable one. Eight
days proceeding tbe death of tbe young
man he had a very severe hemorrhage, and
from that time until bis death the flow of
blood was almost continuous, ceasing only
when his nose was plugged, and then clots
of blood would form and have i;o be re?
moved. Several physicians were called to
see the young man, and everything possi
ble was done to relieve him, but il; was all
in vain. The deceased's brother reached
his bedside just a short time before he
breathed bis last, and to-day carried bis
remains to bis old home in Habersbam
County, Ga.
The corner stone of our handsome grsded
school building was laid last Friday after?
noon by Hiram Lidge, A. F. M, assisted
by members of tbe craft from other lodges,
and was witnessed by a large crowd of
fpectators. The cert mo ni 33 were imposing
and impressive. An organ was placed on
the platform, and a choir, composed of
some of tbe best; singers of the city, led
by Miss Virginia Evans, sang tbe beauti?
ful odes of tbe Masonic order. Capt
T. F. Hill, District Daputy Grand Master,
officiated, and tbe exercises were opened
with prayer by tbe Grand Chaplain, Rev.
A T. Dunlep. After the ceremonies were
concluded, dipt. Hill made a brief but
appropriate address, ia wbich he i>poke of
Masonry and the custom of laying corner
stones. Short addresses were then made
by 6. E. Prince, E -q , chairman of the
Board of Trustees, and Rev. J. N. H.
Summerei], of tbe Presbyterian Cnurcb,
The remarks, of these gentlemen were ex?
ceedingly interesting and impresuive. A
short Bketoh of tbe graded school, the roll
of the officers and members of Hiram
Lodge, a list of tbe municipal, County,
State and National officers and copies of
tbe last issue of tbe County papers were
deposited in the oorner stone.
Tbe News and Courier of last Friday
says: 'The board of visitors of tbe South
Carolina Military Academy announce tbat
beneficiary vacancies now exist in tbe
Citadel as follows: Aiken 1, Anderson 1,
Berkeley 1, Clarendon 1, Gresnville 2,
Horry 1, Orangeburg 1. Richland 1, Spar
tanburg 1, Piokens 1, Williamsburg 1 and
York 1. Tbis presents an opportunity f >r
young men in the counties named, which
may be said to come but once in a lifetime,
for the vacancies once filled are filled lor
four years, and the young men now eligi?
ble are not likely to be eligible when the
next vacanoy for their county occurs. Tbe
Citadel stands next to West Point as a
military school, and in tbat respect no
otber institution in tbe United States at all
competes with it. The testimony of the
army inspectors for several years has been
uniform in support of this claim. To have
four years free education and all expenses
paid at tbe Citadel is a prize for wbich any
young man should be willing to work. It
Is tbe best gift which tbe State offers to ber
boys. Those wishing to compete should
apply promptly to Gen. Johnson Hagood,
chairman of the board of visitors, at Barn
well, 8. C, who will furnish any needed
information and tbe requisite blanks.

Under the above caption tbe Abbeville i
Press and Banner of last week says:
11 The Anderson Intelligencer leads
tbe way for others to follow. That office
was tbe first country office in tbe State to
use steam power on the printing press. It
has now laid away its Bteam engine and
harnessed electricity. The electricity la
generated some biz milea in the country.
The Intelligencer is one of the very
bent papers received at this office, and its
circulation is perhaps greater than tbat of
any other oountry paper in the State. 'The
only objection tbat we can urge to tbat
paper is the bachelor editor's big mustache
and hia failure to marry. Any man who
edits as good a paper as the Anderson
Intellicences ought to be dealt with for
contempt of Court (Cupid'a Court) if be
doesn't get married before next Christ?
mas."
The Intelligencer certainly appreci?
ates tbe compliment paid it by the Press
and Banner, for editor Wilson ia recog?
nized aa an expert judge of newspapers,
even if he does get a little off on politics
occasionally. We are also very grateful that
he can urge only two objections to our
paper, viz: "the bachelor editor's big mus?
tache and hia failure to marry." These
objections are very flimsy, and we do not
think they come with good gxace from the
editor of the Press and Banner, a man
who does not practice what he preaches.
It ia a well known fact that he baa been
wearing a big mustache for forty years,
more or less, and if he has ever married no
notice of it baa ever been published. Now
if the editor of the Press and Banner will
shave off bis big mustache and get married,
this , bachelor editor will do hiB best to
follow suit.
A Peace Proposition.
With a view to settle the differences now
existing in this County as to tbe number
of delegates each faction is to have in the
Constitutional Convention, and, if possi?
ble, to avoid a fight in this County, the
following resolution was adopted by tbe
Conservative meeting held here last Mon?
day, and a committee appointed who pre?
sented the same to Mr. W. T. McGrill,
Chairman of the Irby Executive Commit?
tee for this County, with tbe request tbat
he call his committee together and act on
said resolution at once.
Tbe following ia the resolution :
Resolved? That a committee of three,
consisting of J. D. Maxwell, J. W. Quat
tlebaum an d C. C. Langston, be appoint?
ed from the members of this convention to
present the request of this convention to
tbe Democratic Executive Committee
of this County, acting under what ia com?
monly known as tbe "Irby Committee,"
that the said committee reconsider its re?
cent action in voting down a resolution
looking to the equal division of delegates
to the Constitutional Convention between
the Reformers and Conservatives, and that
said Committee be requested by this Con?
vention to recommend to the voters of tbe
County tbat they elect delegates to the
Convention on a basis of giving eqnal
representation to each of the factions in
she party, and issue an address to the vo?
ters calbng upon them to adopt this recom?
mendation, and carry the same ont in good
faith by voting for three Reformers and
three Conservatives, whose names are to
be proposed by the faollon to which they
respectively belong, for members of said
Convention.
This resolution was presented to Chair?
man McGill this morning, but up to the
hour of going to press he bad issued no
call for a meeting of his Committee.

Tnese figures, compared with the pre?
ceding year's, show a decrease in personal
property of 845,411, and an" increase in reu)
estate of $197,505. In tbe returns of pfr
sonal property there has been numerically
an increase in every department, except
as to flog?, wbioh we trust is a hopeful
sign. The deer ease in the value of person?
al property Is attributed to the decrease in
tbe valne of horses and mules, whioh has
fallen off at least 30 per cent. The Increase
in real estate is attributable to additional
returns and new structures in tbe County.
There are 5,141 pollp, which will be in?
creased by additional returns to at least
7,000 in the fall.
The above, we think, is a fine showing
for Anderson County. Auditor Boleman,
who is a moat efficient and accommodating
officer, informs us tbat his books for this
vear are the largest tbat have ever beun
used In the County, which shows that we
are gradually growing in wealth and popu?
lation.
The District Conference.
The 29th Annual Session of the Green?
ville District Conference, M. E. Church,
South, convened in tbe Methodist Chnrcb,
this city, on Wednesday evening, July
10th. Tbe opening sermon was preached
by Rev. J. E. Grler of St. Paul's Church,
Greenville. His text was Psalm 46: 1.0,
"Be still, and know tbat I am God." T.ae
sermon was thoughtful and helpful. At
tbe conclusion of the sermon Rev. T. J.
Clyde, the Presiding Elder of this Dis?
trict, called the Conference to order and
requested Rev. G. P. Watson to call the
roll. Twenty-throe clerical and thirteen
lay delegates answered to their names,
though between 50 and 60 were present
during the session. Rev. A. N. Brunson
was elected secretary, with Prof. W. S.
Morrison assistant. The hours of meet?
ing and adjournment were fixed and the
Conference adjourned with the benedic?
tion by Rev. J. E. Grier.
Thursday morning at 9.30 the Confer?
ence was called to order and the progra m
previously arranged by the Presiding
Elder was taken up at the beginning.
Questions of interest and importance to
the Church throughout this District were
assigned to different members of tbe
Conference for discussion. These speeches
were of a high order of excellence, and
will surely do much good. Some of the
speakers of the morning session were
Revs. M. H. Pooser, C. V. Barnes, A. T.
Dunlap and Prof. Morrison. The busi?
ness session was followed with a very
comforting sermon by Rev. S. H. Zim?
merman, of Pendle ton, from the text "I
shall be satisfied, when I awake, with t hy
likeness."
The opening exercises of the afternoon
session were oonducted by Rev. T. P.
Phillips, of Greers. The secretary read
reports from the various charges on tbe
"Spiritual state of the Churoh." Discus?
sions were resumed and short speeches
were made by Revs. G. P. Watson, W.
T. Duncan, J. F. Anderson, O. L. Duraat,
J. E. Grier and A. G. Ballenger. At
night Rev. W. L Wait, .of Donalds,
preaohed a very impressive sermon from
the words "Give an account of thy stew?
ardship."
Friday morning business was resumed
at 9 30. Rev. Jno. O. Willson, editor of j
the Southern Christian Advocate, was in?
troduced to the Conference, and vras
heard in behalf of that important insti tu?
tion. Resolutions were adopted requir?
ing the preachers to make renewed effort
to enlarge tbe circulation of the Advocate.
The remainder of the session was con?
sumed by discussions pertaining to the j
enlarged efficiency of our Sunday School
work, pe rticipated in by R. S. Ligon, J.
M. Whitmire, G. P. Watson and J. B.
Sanders. Missions was the subject for
the afternoon session. Rev. Jno. Atta
way, T. P. Phillips, W. A. Kelley and
W. M, Harden were the speakers. Rev.
P. B. Wells discussed the Epworth
League.
Three preachers were then recommend?
ed to the next annual Conference for ad?
mission on trial into the itineracy.?Revp.
Jas. L. Mullinix, A. V. Hardin and W.
B. Verdln. At 5 o'clock the Conference
adjourned to attend the exercises con?
nected with laying the corner stone of
tbe Graded School building.
At night, President Craighead delivered
a magnificent address in support of the
proposition, "Whc would he greatest let
him serve."
Saturday morning was devoted mainly
to the educational interests of the Church.
The secretary read reports from the char?
ges, and Rev. J. A. Rice, D. D., President
of the Columbia Female College, address?
ed the Conference on behalf of tbat insti?
tution. This reporter has never heard a
more able presentation, of the cause of
woman's education. It was logical, force?
ful, inspiring. All who heard the gifted
young President felt that the College had
entered upon a new era in her history.
A tuition scholarship for one year w?s
then endowed by the Conference.
At the afternoon session Church Finan?
ces was the subject under consideration.
The speech of G. E. Prince was a great
hit. It was universally regretted that bo
many of the delegates had left the Con?
ference and thereby failed to hear this
speech. After the asnal resolution' of
thanks for the hospitality shown to the
Conference, the body adjourned to meet
next year at Greers, in Greenvillo County.
On Sunday tbe pulpits of the city
Churches were filled by visiting members
of the Conference. Favorable reports of
all these services have reached us.
Prof. Cbas. B. Smith, of Wofford Col?
lege, occupied the evening hour at the
Methodist Church and presented the
claims of Wofford College and the cause

History Should be Accurate.
EniTORs Intelligencer : When writ?
ing up the history of Anderson the new
comers, or "emigrants," as somebody
has wittily styled tbem, should endeavor
to have a thorough knowledge of facts
before attempting'to give a narrative of |
past events. Wo would here remind
them that the "oldest inhabitant" is still
extant, who has tbe prerogative, long
established by custom, of criticising any
written history of their town?its church?
es, schools, individual history, or any
enterprise connected with the success of |
tbe place. The history of a nation, or
even of a city, is valueless unless the
series of facts or circumstances related can
be substantiated. B. C. T.
