We, 89 are all his patrons and pupils, are opposed to bis leaving this place because be is tbe right man In the right place. We have never seen such universal commendation of a teacher as there is of Professor Wardlaw by both pa? trons and pupils. The primary depart? ment, tbe one over which he presides, is tbe most important in any school, and be has absolute control over and commands the greatest respect aod love of his pupils, hence hlfi power to instruct tbem cannot be estimated. We cannot afford to let him go " Toe many friends of Prof. Wardlaw in this biu native County, we know, will read tbe above with pleasure. Mr. Frank M. Glenn, sr., died at tbe borne of his son, Capt. John M. Glenn, at Slabtown, last Friday evening, the im? mediate cause of his death being heart fail ore. He had been sick two or three weeks, but had recovered sufficiently to be up again. Ob Friday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, he was suddenly stricken down and in two hours afterwards breathed his last. Mr. Glenn was in the 79th year of his age, and one of tbe best and most highly re? spected citizens of Anderson County. He was born and reared in Laureas County, and in 1815 married a Miss Templeton. Shortly after bis marriage he moved to this County and settled in the Slabtown section where he spent the remainder of bis life. He was a model citizen, and livud up strictly to the golden rule, "do unto others as you would have tbem do unto you." He possessed a modest, unas? suming disposition, and was ever ready to lend a helping hand to tbe needy, speak a cheerful word to tbe afflicted and a wise word of counsel to the erring. He bad long been a faithful and zealot s member of Carmel Presbyterian Church, and for the past thirty years served his Church both as a Deacon and a Ruling Elder. Mrs. Glenn preceded him to the grave several years ago. Three sons, Messrs. J. P., J. M. and T. S. Glenn, and one daugh? ter^ Mrs. J. P. 8mitb, survive him, and in their bereavement tbey have the sympa thies of a wide oircle of friends. In their sorrow, however, they have the consola? tion of knowing thr.t tbelr devoted fat bur has gone to join Ihsir devoted mother in that better world where there will be no more death or separation. On Friday afternoon the funeral services were held in Carmel Church, after which the remains were interred in the old family burying ground. A Good Story. Not long since w& heard one of Ander? son County's venerable citizens, who wbb spending a few days in the city, and who is noted for telling laughable anecdotes and good stories, relate the following etory: Fifty or sixty years ago there lived in the lower section of this County two farm? ers, one ot whom was named Hunt and the other Clark. The former, in early life, had been a man of strong will aud somewhat basty and violent temper. Sometimes be bad been seen beating bis oxen over their heads with the handle of bis whip, in a way ta exoite the pity of the bystanders, and, when expostulated witb, he excused himself by saying tbat be had the most fractious team in the communi ty. By and by an alteration took place in the temper of farmer Hunt. He became mild, forbearing, tmd, what was moat re? markable, bis oxen seemed to improve in disposition at equal pace with himself.' Farmer Hunt joined the church and was an exemplary man. His neighbors saw the change both in himself and team. It was a marvel to the whole community. One of his neighbors asked him for an explana? tion. Farmer Hunt said: "I have found out a secret about my cattle. Formerly tbey were unmanageable- The more I whipped and clubbed them, tbe worse tbey acted. But now when they are con? trary, I go behind my load, sit down and sing 'Old Hundred,' find, etraDge as it may appear, no sooner have I ended than the oxen go along as quietly as I oould wish. I don't know how it is, but they re? ally seem to like singing-" In the course of a few years the two farmers were chosen deacons of the same ohurcb, and tbey both adorned their pro lession. About the time of their election a grievous famine prevailed in the coun? try, and tbe farmers generally were em? ployed in laying up their corn to plant tbe ensuing season. A poor man, living in tbe community, went to Deacon Hunt and eaid : 'l have come to buy a bushel of corn. Here is tbe money ; it is about all I can gather." Tbe deacon told him he could not spare a bushel for love or money. He was keeping double tbe usual quantity for seed corn the next year, and bad to stint his own family. The poor man urged his suit In vain. At last he said : "Deacon, if you do not let me have tbe corn, I shall curse you." "Curse me !*' replied the dea cod, "how dare you do bo ?" ''Because," said the man, "tbe Bible says so." "Non? sense," exclaimed the deacon, "there is no Bach thing in the Bible." ? Yes, there is," replied the poor man. "Well," said the deacoD, "if yon can find any such text, I'll give yon a buahel of corn," They went to the house, when the poor man went to the old family Bible, turned to Proverbs 11, 26, and read: "lie that with holdeth corn, the people shall curse him ; but blessings ihall be upon the head tbac selleth it." The deacon was fairly caught. "Come along," said he, ''and I will be as good aa my word." He took him to the corn crib, measured out a full bushel of corn and helped tbe man to put It on his shoulder, and just before his departure, being some? what of a wag, he said with a twinkle in his eye, "I say, neighbor, after you have carried this corn home, go to Deacon Clark and curse him out of a bushel." Reunion of the Palmetto Biflmen. On last Saturday the survivors of the Palmetto Biflemen residing In this and adjoining Counties held their third re? union since the war at "Sunset Forest," a short distance West of Anderson. It is an ideal place for a pic nie, the grounds being shady and cool, and Bituated near the centre is tbe boldest Spring of water we have ever seen in this State. At an early hour tbe survivors began to arrive at tbe Spring, and the greetings the old soldiers gave eaoh other were full of genuine pleasure, and in a short while groups were formed, and incidents almost forgotten were recalled, some humorous and others sad. To most of the survivors the war seems at this distance like a dream, growing more and more indis? tinct as the years pass on, but never to be entirely effaced from memory. Time has dealt gently with the old soldiers present, and they are still a handsome body of men. In this connection one of tbe boys related the following incident: When the Palmettoes first arrived in Virginia they were marching along near Leesburg, when a lady was seen making her way down to the road from her home, situated some distance off. As the Com? pany came up she asked one of the boys which State they came from. lie replied, South Carolina. "Ob, you can't fool me; South Carolina never grew such fine looking men," she answered, much to the amusement of the boys. After an hour or two spent in sooial chat, the Company was called together, and after prayer by Bev. M. McGee, an officer in the original Company, the roll wfts called and nearly every man ac? counted for?whether dead or alive, if alive where living, etc. An election was thisn gone into for officers to serve until the next reunion, with the following re? sult : President?James A. Hoyt. 1st Vice President?J. F. Clinksp'.Ies. 2ad Vice President?J. P. Sullivan. Secretary?R. E. Sloan. Treasurer?R. L. Keys. Lieut. Hoyt, the only surviving com? missioned officer of Company "C," Pal? metto Sharp Shooters, having recently paid a visit te one of our old camps in Virginia?Frying Pan Church?which all the old soldiers of the Fourth Regiment will remember, gave <? an interesting talk as to the appearance f that locality at present. He said that tbe old church building is still standing, and looks pret? ty much as it did thirty-five years ago. To most of the old soldiers this was the most dismal camp of the whole war. Strange to say, Col. Hoyt told us that now there is a fine Summer hotel at Fry? ing Pan, and the Washington people run up there to drink the water and get rid of the heat and dust of the city. The Colonel's talk about this old camp was exceedingly interesting to old soldiers. Gen. M. L. Bonham being present was invited to address tbe survivors, which he did in bis usual happy style, and cap? tured the hearts of all by hie eloquent praise of the private Con federate soldier. Atter this came dinner?and such a dinner. Barbecued meats, chicken, cakes, pies?everything almost that heart could wish for. Every body hud enough, and still there was something left. The good ladies deserved and received credit for this excellent dinner. After dinner tbe boldiors got together again and talked over old times very pieH>!:iitly for an hour two, after which they di.-persed to their several homes, happy io having again met at least a few of their old army comrades. NOTES. There were twenty-five members of the old Company present. The crowd in attendance numbered about three hundred. We neglected to state at the proper place that Miss Nora Hubbard, President of the Memorial Association of Ander? son County, was unanimously elected an honorary member of tbe Survivors of the Palmetto Riflemen, in recognition of her untiring efforts to build a monument to perpetuate the memory of the dead Confederate soldiers. In connection with this Col. Hoyt made an eloquent appeal to ;he old soldiers to help Miss Hubbard in this laudable work. Almost every other County in the State has a monu? ment to our he. >Io dead, and Anderson should not lag behind. He said that in a few more years there would not be one Confederate soldier left in South Caro? lina, and if all the old soldiers would go to the assistance of Miss Hubbard the monument would soon be built. Mr. Jos. B. McGee was in charge of tbe barbecue department, and the unani? mous verdict was that tbe meats were deliciouB. There was not much fun and a great deal of hard work connected with his part of the pio nie, and he received the thanks of all. The thanks of the Survivors are also due Mr. J. J. Fretwell for the use of his beautiful grounds. "Sunset Forest" is worthy of a visit, and would doubtless prove a surprise to a majority of the peo? ple of Anderson. We predict that in the near future an electric car line will run from Anderson to this splendid mineral spring, and "Sun6et Forest" will be a fashionable Summer resort. Chairman McGlll's Reply. The following is Chairman McGili's re? ply to the committee of Conservatives who were appointed to a?k bim to call a meet? ing of his committee to consider the propo siti.-n contained in tbe resolution adopted by tbe Conservative Convention, and which wan published in the IktELLIOEN CEn last week : ^ To Messrs. J. D. Mux well, J. V7. Quattle baum and 0. C Langaton. aorumiitee of certain citizens of Anderson County: Gentlemen: Your request tbat I, as Chairman of the County Democratic Ex? ecutive Committee, call said Committee together for the purpose of reconsidering its recent action in voting down a reso lution looking to an equal division of dali-gatei to tbe Constitutional Conven? tion between the Reformers and Conser? vative*, and that said Committee recutn mend to tbe voters of this County that they elect delegates to the Convention on a basis of giving equal representation to each of the factions in the party, &c, has been duly considered, and is respect? fully declined for tbe following reasons : lit- Because the County Executive Com? mittee with but one dissenting vote has al? ready refused to adopt suob a resolution, and I have no reason to believe that any of the committee have changed their minds on tbat question. 2nd. Because, as chairman of said com? mittee, who, with every member of said committee and of tbe party,-owe my alle? giance to tbe Democratic party of the State, I recognize all who belong to Baid party as Democrats, and know no faction within said party. 3d. Because I believe with vou that1 It would l>e an ideal state of affairs if dele gates could be elected to tbe approaching Constitutional Convention from every county in the State with an eye looking solely to their Stnesa for tbe high position, men of character, attainments and broad patriotism without reference to the present factional differences of Reformers and Conservatives, which divide our people, representative men, who would know no such differences in framing a new Consti? tution for tbe State of South Carolina, and so believing, think tbe best way of attain? ing the desired end is to permit every man to run for delegate to said Convention who may wish to do so, irrespective of whether be be a Reformer or Conserva? tive, the only question being, is he a Dem? ocrat'.' and that the Democrats in the pri? mary election select their bast men as can-1 didates, and as Cbaiitmn of the County' Executive Committee of tbe party I am willing to leave them free to act upon their best judgment, and have confidence that they will decide tbe question correct? ly The course suggestfd by you would, in my opinion, make the differences between tbe two factious more m?rked, instead of obliterating them. 4th. Because, if desirable or consistent with the rules and regulations of the Dem? ocratic party, the time is too short to ef? fect what you request. I have written you my reasonB for re? fusing your request, because I thought it was due to you ep reprerenling men who bave been true and loyal to the party, and hope tbat tbe expression of a meeting held by you and others in the Court House on Saturday, the Oth day of this month, which resolved to refrain from taking part in the Demooratio primary on the 30.h inst, is not an expression of your intention to re? nounce the party, and still hope that you and those you represent will join with us in selecting the best men in our party ir? respective of any factional differences, as our candidates at tbe approaching Conven? tion, and thus present a solid party vote at said election. Respectfully yours, W. T. MoQill, Co. Ch. Lebanon Item*. Every thing is lively aronnd here. Pic? nics, visiting, drinking cider and ten many other good things to mention.

In the death of Miss Clara Cannon, a notica of which you published last week, Mr. Editor, this community has lost a most noble Christian woman, whose place will be hard to till.

A political meeting ba9 been announced to take place here that day, but I hear tbe officers of the Church wtll not permit it. It would be better for tbe candidates to come and attend the religious service. Some of them need a little religion, and if they cculd secure it they would not prob? ably be so greedy fyr office. All of the Conservative* and lo's of the Reformers say they are not going into the primary, and some of them say they will also stay out of the general election ; but I think tbe boys should vote in some elec tion, for that is about all the fun tbe voters have now, as the politicians get the crea*m of tbe mils:.
