The Williamston correspondent of the Greenville News says: "About 5 o'clock last Saturday afternoon as the colored laborers were coming from the dam below Pelzer, where they had just received their week's pay, Iaiah Williams, a negro man about 21 years old, was overtaken in the road, knocked down, 6aot and robbed of $3 90 and a pistol, by two other negroes Williams Is still alive but his condition id? entical.

Williams says he will recognize his assailants on sight, as they were em ployed by the same company and at work together that day. But he does not know their names. The foregoing is Isiah Wil? liam's own story of the affair, but others say that Williams and the other two men were out in the edge of the woods gam bling, when Williams started to run off with the boodle but was overtaken by a bullet after several shots were fired at him.

R Bowlan, of the Fairdeal sec tion, has sent us a remarkable amalgama? tion of fruits, and every person who has seen it say they never saw or heard of any? thing like it. In Mrs. Bowlan's orchard is a large apple tree, and within twenty steps of it are some grape vines. The other day while gathering some grapes she discovered a grape stem, about five inobes long, from which bung two bunches of grapes, and just above them, at two joints of the stem, were growing two ap pies about the size of a big hickory nnt. Of course, it was a curiosity to our good friend as well as to all of her neighbors whom she exhibited to. In transit to ns oneof the apples was accidentally knocked off. The only way we can account for this strange freak of nature is that the pol? len of the apple was carried by a bee or some other sort of insect and deposited on the joints of the grape vine, which proba bly had baen bored or bruised by the bee or other insect, and thus taking their growth from the life of the sap of the grape vine.

It was decided to hold the next annual reunion at the Cars well Institute on Wednesday before the second Sun? day in August, 1896, and committees were appointed to arrange (or the occa? sion. It was agreed that all the sons of survivors be elected honorary members upon reaching the age of IS years. Spe? cial rates for dinner had been secured at the Hotel Chiquola, and Landlord Dick? ens spread before them a royal feast. When the bill was called for Mr."Dickens, with bis big heart and his affection for the old Confederate heroes, told tbem to accept the dinner with his compliments. The generosity of Mr. Dickens, of course, was most highly appreciated by the vet? erans. At the afternoon session the fol? lowing resolution was unanimously adopt el. Resolved, That the survivors hereby tender their heartfelt thanks to the citi? zens of the oity of Anderson for the cour? tesies shown us this day, and especially do we desire to thank Dr. W. H.

Barckly. After some appropriate remarks from Col. Hoyt and others, the Association adjourned to a basket pio-nic, which was most highly enjoyed. Health of the City of Anderson Office of Board of Health, Anderson, S. C, Aug. 7, 1895. Mr. Editor: In view of the many re? ports in reference to the health of the city of Anderson at the present time, and as such reports cannot be sustained by care? ful investigation, ask that you, as it is a matter of public interest, allow me through the medium of your paper to eo. ? it any rf potts in variance to what is here stated. Eich physician in the city, at a meeting held by the Board of Health, on the 6ch inst, has made a written report, as request? ed by the Biard, and we find that there is now ten cases of malarial fever and two cases of typhoid fever, none of which are of a malignant type. Reports had for month July from the undertakers of the city are as follows, and by examining reports of physicians we find death to have been caused by diseases ap? pended to each : 1?Colored?Tabe ??calos:s 1?Colored?Heart and Kidney. 1?Colored?Inflsmmation bowel?. 1?White? 1?White?Typhoid fever. 1?White?Child Convulsions. So, with a population of at least 6,000 any ordinary observer can see that the per centage of death as compared with popula? tion is very small, and that we are not as badly afflicted as some would probably have us t>e. These fevers as spoken of are not con fined to the city, but the surrounding country has its share. Our city, I dare say, is in as good sanitary condition as anv city or town its size in the State. Hoping the above may set aside any fears entertained by any visitors or any one else, Yours, J. 0. Wilhite, M. D., Secretary Board Health, City of Anderson. The Confederate Monument. Greenville, S. C, July 31,1S95. Mb Editor: I enoloae herewith a note just received from Miss Lenora Hubbard, who is now recuperating at Coder's Head, acknowledging the compliment bo justly paid to her by the survivors of the Pal metto Riflemen at their recent reunion, and I ask for its publication in your col um na to ebow the members of that gallant oommand bow their action is appreciated. Let me add a word to tbe Confederate soldiers from Anderson County, who are yet in the land of the Uving, and beg tbem to move earnestly and quickly in co opera tion with tbe ladies of the Memorial As? sociation who are raising funds for the erection of a monument to our dead com? rades. This work has been neglected too long already, and those of us who are still among tbe survivors ougbt to press this matter without delay nntil the requisite amount is in hand. How it would delight me, in occasional visits to old Anderson, if I were permitted to look upon a shaft that would tell of the heroism of those who fought and died for tbe Confederacy Every survivor would feel that his own sacrifices and privations were not to be forgotten by tbe men and women of com? ing generations, if that monument is erected before be passes over the river. I wish also to say that tbe suggestion made in Anderson that the court house should be removed from the public square and the monument substituted in its piece seems to me a wise and proper conception. A suitable building for the court house cannot be erected on the old site, and tbe monument surrounded by a park proper ly kept would add a great deal to tbe beauty and attractiveness of the city. It would enhance the value of surrounding property if such a plan were adopkd. and in many ways contribute to the pleasure of your citizens in days to come. Very respectfully, James A. Hoyt. Caesar's Head, July 27,1895. DearFbiend: Please say to your As? sociation that I appreciate very highly the compliment of being elected an honorary member. I belong to many societies and associations, but consider this last tbe greatest honor of all. I was so sorry I could not be with you at your reunion. From my childhood I have felt the utmost reverence for the lost cause, and anything connected with it appeals strongly to my sympathy. I think the happiest day of my life will be when the monument to the Confederate dead of our country is un? veiled. Thanking you for the encourage? ment you have always given me in this work, I remain, very truly yours, Lenora Hun bard. Col. J. A. Hoyt, Greenville, S. C. The Sick Healed. Cokksrury, S. C, July 30, 1895 Four weeks ago Mr. A. E. Norris, the well known insurance man from Cokes bury, S. C , after an illness of five montbB, left his sick bed and went to Chester, 8.

He elves glowing accounts of his visit to Chester, and of the magnificent treatment he received at tbe Devaga Hospital.

There are pcoies of friends all over tbe State who will re? joice with Mr. Norris in his good fortune. ?Cor. Abbeville Press and Banner. TCnRENT?A five room cottage. Ap plr \. S. Fowler.

Dr. George Brown, an old Anderson County boy who is now practicing his pro? fession in Atlanta, bas issued a circular letter to all of bis friends of the medical fraternity inviting them when they visit the Exposition to make his office their headquarters. Here is the letter: " Dkab Doctor?From the present out? look, the Cotton States and International Exposition will be one of the 'events'in the history of our country, and especially of tli 9 South. Realizing the immense number of physicians who will be present from all parts of the United States and other countries, I have decided to offer my mite of Southern hospitality to my visiting brethren. Therefore, I extend a cordial invitation to any physician who may visit our city to make my office bis headquarters. Send mail, telegrams, etc , in my care, and I will cheerfully engage rooms, etc., in advance for any one if ad vised to do so. The only request I make ia to inclose postage for letters of inquiry, which will be cheerfully answered. For any services I may render, no fee, com mission, or any perquisites whatever will be received or expected. Fraternally yours, Geokge Brown, M. D." Low Rates Again.

The Saluda Baptist Association. Mr Editor : This organization held its annual session with the Neal's Creek Church, beginning Tuesday, July 30th, and lasted three days. It was probably the largest attended meeting the Associa? tion has ever held. We have heard the crowd variously. estimated at from three to five thousand persons on Wednesday. The people of that community opened their homes and hearts, and we have never seen such ample provision of both food and water, for man and beast, as was there This was not confined to members of that church only; but members of other cburcbe3, other denominations, and some who are not church members at all, com? bined to make the stay of all who attended pleasant, which they did. We wish we could attend an Association of this kind at Neal's Creek every year. Ohe who attended. ? "The new price curreut fcr the dis? pensary," as announced from Columbia, "went into effect on Thursday. The prices on all of the commoner grades ofliquoi have been reduced fully 25 per cent, and no doubt this will increase the demand somewhat." This reduction is of course a plain confession of error in the conduct of the business of the dispensary during the past two years, or ever since its or? ganization. The only wonder is that the authorities did not discover and rectify their mistake sooner. They should have understood, what was so well understood by all business men and by nearly every? body else, that in putting so high prices on their goods they were simply putting a premium on illegal competition. As it is, they have corrected only half of their mistake by reducing the price of the ommoner grades of their goods. They should now reduce the price of all the grades to tbe lowest point consistent with the purpose of making tho dispensary system self sustaining. If tbe idea is simply to "regulate" tbe conduct of the liquor business and not to make a profit our of it, the first and essential point is to control it. And it can never be con? trolled as long as good liquors can be sold by the blind tigers cheaper than by the dispensaries.?News and Courier. ? A human being skinned alivo and living to tell the story is one of the curi? osities of Ouonee county, in this State. The fearful work was wrought by a stroke of lightning and the victim was a negro woman living on Mr. John B. Hattaway'a plantation near High Shoals. The negro woman was in bed in a cabin on tbe place. Lightning struck the cabin and tbe vivid, brilliant, death-dealing current hit the noero woman on the head, scatterod in an electric shower that enveloped the vic? tim's br>dy for a moment in a dazzling sheet of fl ime, leaving her stunned, skin? less and insensible, but the life pump was still working away in hor bosom sending the red (luid into every portion of her body. When found she was a hor riblesight to look upon, with not a particle of skin on her body and dangling around her ankles was a mass of scorched and crisp strips of skin, the ghastly remains of the once black, oily covering that nature gave to the descendants of Ham. With tbe aid of physicians the woman regained consciousness and it is thought will re? cover. She is now perfectly white and if she lives wiil be exhibited at the Atlanta exposition this fall?Atlanta Constitution. ? It is lawful in Atlunta for a man to kiss his wife in tho street or anywhere else. The Courts have so decided in the case of Eznkiel Martin, a United States soldier at Fort McPhersnn. It appeared at tbe trial that he and his wife, who had not seen one another for some time, met in one of the principal streets of Atlanta. Martin was so delighted that he kissed her then and there, and not only that, but he hugged her, and it took a great many repetitions of those all'dctionate de? monstrations to express his feelings. A large number of people witnessed the performance and were highly delighted with it, but a policeman was scandalized and proceeded to apprehend Martin for disorderly conduct. The Court did not sustain his view of the case, but held that it was entirely in order for a man to hug and kiss bis wife whepever be pleased. Theroupon the happy couple kissed in Court at d wentabouttheirbusiness hand in hand. ?
