For j tbe past year he has been conducting a I fruit and news stand next to the postoffice, on Wbitner street, and was able to attend to his business until Monday preceding hi* death. His remains were carried to Cross Roads Church and interred on Saturday. One of the most fatal wrecks that has happened on the Southern Railway in some time occurred last Friday night on a high trestle near Richland, in Oconee County. While crossing the trestle a car jumped the track and went tumbling down in the waters below, carrying with it eight or ten cars loaded with lumber, coal, etc. A negro brakeman was killed. It la also thought that tbe bodies of three tramps, who were stealing a ride, were buried beneath the wreck, as three hats were seen floating in tbe stream. The I engineer, fireman and conductor escaped without injury. A six-year-old daughter of Mr. L. H. I Rnssell, in Centerville Township, met with a terrible death last Wednesday. Tbe little girl, with the other children of the household, was in tbe bouse playing. Mrs. Russell was in the field, a short dis? tance from the house, picking cotton. Direotly her attention was attracted to tbe house by the screams of the obild. She started in a run to tbe house, but before she reached it she saw her little darling ran oat of the door completely enveloped in a flame of fire, screaming with all tbe power of her voice. Mrs. Russell hastened { her speed, but when she reached the little ] one not a vestige of clothing was left on its body, all of It having been consumed by tbe fire. Tbe body was simply roasted. Dr. J. O. Wilhite was summonsed to the bedside of tbe sufferer but she was beyond human aid, and in a few hours death came to her relief. It Is supposed that the little one's clothing accidentally caught fire while placing wood in the fire place. It is truly a sad death, and the grief-stricken parents have many sympathizers in their sore bereavement. Salesday in November is always a lively day in Anderson, and last Monday was no exception to tbe rule. Tbe streets were crowded from early morn till after dark, and everybody seemed to be cheerful and in good humor. Tbe horseswappers were numerous, and many old rips exchanged hands. The merchants, too, were bnsy throughout the day. Conaiderable real estate was sold at public outcry and brought good pricet. One hundred acres, I in Rock Mills Township, to J. O. Cun? ningham for $900. Two hundred and for? ty-six acres, In the Piercetown section, to Miss Lizzie Williams for $2,300. The storeroom on south side of the Court Houso Square, occupied by 0. F. Jones & Co. as a clothing store, Bold as tbe proper- j ty of the Brown Bros., was bid off by an attorney representing some of tbe creditors at $5,900 An acre lot in the northern su? burbs of tbe city, belonging to tbe estate of Milton Lindsay, was bid off by J. L Tribble, Esq, at ^300. Nine tracts of land, aggregating a total of C65 acres, be longing to tbe estate of John Harper, was bought by various persons at an average price of more than $10 an acre. i A few days ago we had tbe pleasure of viewing a large silver medal that was presented to our good friend, Capt. Rob? ert Junkin, of this County, by the State of South Carolina for his bravery and many daring acts while serving his country as a soldier in tbe war with Mexico. On one side of the medal ap? pears the seal of our State, encircled with the names of Cols. Dickinson, Butler and Gladden, the field officers of the Palmetto Regiments with tbe dates 184? and 1847; on the other side appears a representa? tion of the landing of the Regiment at Vera Cruz and the names of the battles in which it was engaged. Capt. Junkin was a sergeant of Co. E., which was com? manded by the late Capt. J. Foster Mar? shall, of Abbeville, and was about 21 years of age when he volunterred his services to his country. He says he thinks there are now about fifty survi? vors of this grand old Regiment Of course, this medal is prized very highly by its owner, who will doubtless hand it down to future generations of his family, every member of which can always look at it with pride. Capt. Junkin not only was a brave and zealous soldier in tbe war with Mexico, but when South Caro? lina called for volunteers in 18G0 he was among the first to respond and again manifested his great love for his State and the principles of the Confederacy by serving thronghout the war. And we doubt if there waa a braver or more faithful soldier in the whole army of tbe Confederate government. PHOTOGRAPHS.?W. M.

Report of the Board of Health. The following interesting report was read by Dr. J. 0. W?hlte, Secretary of the Board of Health, at a meeting of the City Council last Friday evening. The Council resolved to carry out the recommendations contained therein as far as practicable. The Board of Health consists of Dr. W H. Nardin, President, Dr. J 0. Wilhite Secretary, Drs S. M. Orr, J. C. Harris and Mr. J. M. Payne. They were elected un der the provisions of an Act of the Legi si a ture of last December, wbioh is applicab to all towns and cities, and which defines the duties of the various Boards. Anderson elected a good Board, which has manifested a lively interest in its duties, and the city will profit by it. The report contained a tabulated state? ment of births and deaths for four months ending October SI, together with color, sex cause and age, which we have reduced to more concise form. The report is as follows: ANDERSON', S. ft, Oct. 31,1895. To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Anderson: Gentlemen : The Legislatu re of South Carolina d urine the session of 1894 enacted a law creating Boards of Health for incor porated cities and towns and defining the! powere and duties. It is now my duty to submit to you a report, and in so doing permit me to preface the same by a few re mark-son the subject of publio health sanitation and its Importance. In these days of political struggle and dlvera interest in this country we hear much of the varions means for the advance men t and the protection of the agricultur al, the manufacturing, the mercantile interest and many others of less impor tance and exteot. iuclnding the so called vested rights But what question of mere business interest can compare either in importance or extent with the general and individual Interest which every man baa in the preservation cf health and life? No matter what the labor, manual or in tellectnal, at which be is engaged, nor bow productive, each and every mode of obtain ing individual supplies and contributing to the social welfare of the community is and must ever be subordinate both indi? vidually and generally to the poRaeaalon of health, tbe cash value of which is well recognized. Experience has shown tbe utter fallacy that some cities have regarded sanitary laws. We can only point out how diseases are spread and by what means they can be prevented, and it then remains for tbe people, tbe representatives of which you are, to have such measures enforced. We have rnles and regulations framed from scientific observations. Boards of Health aoting under wise laws can ao complish great good, and much sioknesa and death can be prevented in our city and elsewhere, by such organization However, there is great difficulty in per sistently maintaining any regulations for the public health, and. like other laws, cannot go greatly beyond tbe pnblic aenti ment. A writer on public health bas said, and if not trne at present will be in the future, "that tbe general intelligence of any community may be safely inferred by the attention which they pay to tbe removal of filth, one great link in the cbain of dis? ease which we can control,, away beyond the possibility of doing barm." The 8tate Board of Health, altbongh having been in existence for about fifteen years, has been of incalculable benefit to the State a large It has kept from our shores and inland towns, yellow fever, cholera, smallpox, etc., end by tbe existence of tbe local Boardti it is intended to be the further means for protection and for the better preservation of the public health. The great falling off of death rates, the decided decrease in epidemics are attributed to better sanitary regulations. Tbe preven? tion of an epidemic, especially of the char? acter of the above diseases, can be best appreciated by tbe community that has been visited by one. I could cite you many examples, but of the many let us notice Brunswick, Georgia, whose author? ities disregarded tbe advice of tbe health officer at the commencement of the out? break of yellow fever a few years ago. Again take another instance, a city in Tennessee, a few years ago. It seemed to be a doomed oity. Its population had de? creased alarmingly, real estate bad de? creased in value, because tbe city was scourged with disease. Tbepanio stricken people, looking upon tbe place as doomed, bad surrendered its municipal charter. So bad was tbe condition of affairs that tbe National Board of Health appropriated to the Tennessee Board of Health fifty thousand dollars to endeavor to place them in a healthy and sanitary condition. This State has wisely and rightfully as? sumed tbe authority to enact sanitary laws and enforce their observance. The true province of government is not transcended nor is tbe liberty of its citizens violated when all are required to obey laws which conduce to tbe promotion of public health. The city or State where not observed, im? migration ceases, capitol is alarmed and improvements are unknown. On the other hand the city which adopts and en? forces with firmness and impartiality tbe strictest sanitary laws and regulations not only enhances its material interest but adds a charm to the attractions of home, and inspires its children and people with a more devoted patriotism. Accepting the estimate made by statiscians of the finan? cial value of life of each able-bodied, industrious man at sixteen hundred dol? lars, and the average cash value of each man, woman and adolescent above twelve years of age at one thousand dollars, we then have some conception of the financial value of each citizen and tbe loss to the wealth of the community in unproductive labor from sickness and by death from preventable diseases. It needs, therefore, no labored argument to prove that it is tbe doty to protect the public health by legal statutes based upon tbe knowledge which sanitarians have gained by their sacrificing and human industries. Much comment has been made by many ao re? gards tbe health of our city, and to its detriment in some respect?, but there have been exagerated reports and not sustained by diligent inquiry. The Board, eince their organization, have been very active in their work, notwithstanding there seems to be seme degree laxity, but they have considered it more wise until after the people herb became more informed ao re? gards what w (\s required by tbe Ordinance not to apply the penalty except In cases where there was a willful violation and a nuisance and could not be abated other? wise. In addition to the recommendations pre? viously presented, we recommend that an additional number of carte be purchased for the removal of filth and garbage from publio streets and thoroughfares, as the present force is inadequate, and that they be placed under the supervision of the Board of Health. There has been reported to the Board during our existence only four cases of dyphtheria, with one death. In each case we have ordered strict quarantine and isolation, which bos prevented the spread of same. There is no case at present in the city. There are and have been quite a number of cases of measles scattered over different parts of the oity. At its first outbreak the Board attempted isolation, etc., but the utter disregard by some and tbe failure of others to report eaoh cose, and especially J those mingling with the many thousand during the circus day, have been tbe main causes of tbem becoming epidemic. We, iberefore. ask a strict compliance of the section of tbe Ordinance to that effect. There is now adj ?ining tbe Graded School a case of scarlet fever. In ihii case, as with the other diseases of like na? ture, we have had displayed a yellow fl?g, and ordered isolation. The Board, by Committee, have made their inspection of tbe public buildings at stated intervals, and in some instances have found unsanitary and unhealthy conditions to exist, but they have been corrected, and by such means as the places ?vould allow. There were during the months of July, August and September quite a number of ca?es malarial fevers. No particular or local cause could we find. Mingling at tbe same time there has been a few scattered cases of tvphoid fever. This con? dition of affairs (I mean fevers) baa been very prevalent in every one of the South? ern States during these months. The,? are many causes and conditions of the at mosphere that have contributed to then prevalence. The country at large has had its quota I would give a tabulated statement of these fevers were I in possession of the fact?, bnt have been unable to obtain tbem, in order that the numbers be complete. Suffice it to pay, in thin respect we have not been more unhealthy or more strickeu with them than the neighboring cities anC. towns. Only in a few cases have they as sumed a malignant tvpe, and the deaths therefrom have been few. Now, in conclusion, gentlemen, I ap? pend a complete list of the births and deaths for the months of July, August, Septembnr and October, as obtained from the Physicians and Undertakers. This part of the duties of the B iard, permit me to say, we consider of no less importance than many of the others. A system of registration of births and deaths has been adopted which will bp, if carried out as intended, a source of much information to the present and future generations. We have not been able to get the co operation of the midwives in reporting births, but hope to do so later. Such being the case, there may be a few cases of births not re? ported. As a whole I think the same will compare favorably with any other city in population: Births 33. White 26, colored 12. Male 20, females 18. Deaths 28. White 18, colored 10. Agas ranging from 4 days to 81 years. Only one death was from fever?mala? rial?and one from diphtheria. Other causes were croup, imfiammation of bow? els, old age, heart disease, tuberculosis, dysentery, &c Respectfully inbroitted, J. O WILHITE, M. D., Secretary Board of Health. Mullet is Back Again at Tokeena. Dear Intelligencer : As I have been absent for some time will now let the many readers bear from this burg. Everything is lively; the people all show happiness and content on their faces. It seems the night and storms causing dark? ness have passed awuy and bright sunny day has ar^ved, invigorating the poor farming class, filling tbem with joy and gladness which brings about peace of mind and happiness. Blessed be tbe day of such. The cotton is most all gathered and a large per cent, marketed. Of course, a shorter crop than ooramon is a fact already known, but tbe advance in price more than makes up for that. Tne corn crop is bonnttfnl, and the way it is being shucked and cribbed is astonishing. Good old corn shuckings, where hog and hominy abounds, is the place to have fnn, where we find a hoat of old men and young, and occasion? ally a orowd of yonng ladies.' It makes your scribe feel yonng again to be among such. The health of this community is the very beat. The new ginnery erected by Messrs. Pricbard & Lemmonr, is doing a thriving business. Mr. Charley Phillips ha? bought Mr. MoLemmons' house and lot at this place, just in front of Mr. W. 8. Prichard, and will roovo to it. Mr. Sullivan's new dwelling is nearing completion. It is a dandy. Mr. Joe Mc01e.skey will soon move into his commodious and handsome building, which Is just completed. Mr. Charley Sullivan left for Greenville a few days ago, where be is staying with his grandfather. Mr. Oscar Sullivan speaks of attending tbe business college in Nashville, Tenn., in a few weeks. The 4tb Sunday, October 27th, was a day to be long remembered by tbe many peo? ple of this and adjoining communities. A nicely arranged program was rendered, making up the Children's Missionary Day. The forenoon was taken up with music, recitations and addresses. Prof. / M. B. Brlssie, of Greenville, being present, and with the assistance of our good friend, Mr. W. N. Bruce, of Townville, entertained the audience with pleasant and charming music. A collection was then taken, amounting to $14 GO, afer which dinner was served upon tbe gronnds, which was enjoyed by all. Cross Roads Cbnrcb is noted for well filled bankets, and plenty of little missionary beggars, for a little country church. After dinner tbe orowd returned to tbe church, where Rev. J. F. Singleton preached a forcible and able eer mon, from tbe 4th verse, 5tb chapter of Isaiah, after which he administered the ordinances of the Lord's Sapper. Every? thing being a success, the people departed with glad hearts. The members of Cross Roads Church unanimously called Rev. J. F. Singleton as their pastor for another year. We think they are wise in their choice, for Rev. 8ingleton did more good than any other pastor has done for tbe upbuilding of the church, and all seem to love him more and more. He has consented to serve them as pastor another year. Mr. John Cain, who had the misfortune of getting his band badly cut up while working in tbe Oakway gin recently, is improving at this wiiting. Mr. J. S. Isbell and family will move to Piedmont soon. Hello, "Mr. Ned Needle," of Brushy Creek. Wake up. We like to hear from you often. Keep on tbe look out for this scribe. Will be in Piedmont between this and Christmas, and be may call around the Brushy Creek section for "Mr. Needle." Here is one true report on a voung ma j of this up country: Mr.-and his daugh? ter went to a meeting one night recently. Her father told her not to let any boy ac? company her home without hia consent, and lo, as tbey started home, Mr. L. over? takes and asked Miss-for her company home. She informs bim of her father's charge. He turns to Mr.-and says, "may-may-I see yourdaughter-dangbter bome?'' He being bo impressed with yonng Mr. L 's feelings regarding tbe case consented. If you want to see Mr. L. dis? appear, ask him if he ever eaid anything to a father about going home with a girl and he will hit the grit. Success bo the Intelligences. Juoge Mullet. Jokeena, 8. C, Nov. 1,1895. Williamstou Items. Dr. Lander, with his party of College girls and others, returned last week from Atlanta and give a glowing account of the Exposition. Many others expect to attend soon. Chapman & Co., who have finished tbe the Pelzer dam No. 2, are shipping their machinery to Columbia.

Editors Intelligencer: The many friends and alumni of the University of Virginia will be grieved to learn that the rotunda and public hall were destroyed hv fire on Sunday morning, October 27cb flow tbe fire originated is unknown, and perhaps will remain so until that great day when all mysteries are revealed It I was first discovered in tbe mechanical ball and quicklv spread to the public hall and rotunda. The University was renew? ing its water mains, and as the work was in an incomplete state water could not be bad. Valiant work was done in saving tbe statuary, pictures and books of tbe library, but owing to the rapidity of tbe flames only a small per cent, of that mag? nificent collection could be gottan out. Tbe loss in money is variously estimated between $300,000 and $100 000, on which there was only about $25,000 insurance. Tbe loss of tbe library ia incalcuable, as many of the booki and documents oonnot be replaced. Tbe rotnnda was completed in 1825, and was planned by Mr. Jefferson, it t>ving considered at the time the most classical bnllding in tbe United States. In its destruction not only Virginia, but tbe entire South suffers an irreparable loss. Recitations and lectures were conducted on Monday as usual without a single loss, but the Emoldering ruins with its grand Killara potent witnesses of its former glory as cast a gloom over all. In this time cf sorest need the University of Virginia call on all her noble alumni, to come to succor. J. B. T. Cbarlottesv?le, Va , Oct 2R. ? Bishop Cordior. of France, who was a missionary in Cambodia, had about succeeded in converting tbe King when tbe latter happened to learn that Christianity only permitted a man to have one wife. He proposed to the Bishop to .induce the Pope to allow him, as a special favor, to have at least twenty wives. When this demand could not be granted he decided to remain a heathen. All Free.
