The Southern Railway has announced its rates to Richmond for the sixth annual reunion of the United Confederate Vete rans to be held in the beautiful Capitol of the Old Dominion from June 30th to July 2nd. The rate is very satisfactory, being one cent per mile traveled, which wonld make the round trip from Anderson to Richmond cost about $8 00, and from other points the rate will be correspondingly low. This low rate will likely induce a big crowd to go from all over the South, and the Southern Railway will undoubt edly handle a large share of these travel ers, being the dirent route from the South to Richmond. The Southern Railway will run Confederate special decorated trains, and make the occasion a great suc cess as far as it is able. The Elberton correspondent of the Hart well (Ga.) Sun says : " The people of Elbert are agitating the qnestlon of the removal of the dam across Savannah river at Augusta so that fish can pass up. Tbey claim that it is an outrage that the river should be obstructed and all tbe counties along the line of tbe river deprived of tbe Inxnry of fresh fish, especially shad in their season. As all efforts to have the Legislature order it removed, although tbe law of the question seems to require it, have proved futile, tbey prop' se now to appeal to tbe Courts, and will ask the countlos of Columbia, Lincoln, Hart. Franklin and Habersham, of Georgia, and the counties of Abbeville and Anderson, 8 O., to join them In tbe effort, as ail these counties are direotly interested in tbe question. Some of the best legal talent in tbe State Ray that with a proper case made tbe Courts will be compelled to order the river opened sufficiently to allow the free passage of fish." This is a step in tbe right direction, and we know will meet with the hearty endorsement of all of our citizens on tbe Savannah side of Anderson County. Before that dam was bailt acros-B the river at Augusta, our people, at this season of the year, alwayB had plenty of fine Bhad, but now that fish is never seen in the river above Augusta. Mr W. E E?kew, one of Anderson County's landmarks, died at his home near Dnnver last Wednesday night, at tbe x iv old age of 85 years. He bad been quite feeble for a long time, and his death was due to the infirmities of old age Mr. E*kew was born and reared in thin County, and, with tbe exception of a few year*, Bpen t bis life here. In his young manhood he married Misa Catu^tie BarrlsB, who preceded hlu to the grave only a year ago. By this union twelve children were born, nine of whom are living. He spent his life on the farm, and was a successful and enterprising farmer. He was truly a good citizen in every sense of that word, and had the good will and confidence of every person who knew him. He possessed a gentle, quiet disposition, and was a man who attended strictly to his own business. He was a safe counselor, and when sought for advice always taught the golden rule, "do unto others as you would have thera do unto yon," which he practiced through oat bis long life. For along number of years he was a most faithful and consistent member of the New Prospect BaptiBt Church, and has now gone to reap the rewards promised the faithful followers of the ble?sed Saviour. His descendants have cause to be proud of tbe record of bis life. He leaves a wide circle of relatives and friends, who will long cherish his memory. On Friday the remains were interred in the New Prospect Churchyard. The relentless band of death has again entered our city and claimed as his victim one of our mo?t noble and excellent wo men In the person of Mrs Anna Keyp, the beloved wife of Mr. R. L. Keys, whose spirit took is flight at early dawn last Thursday morning, tbe 27th ult. She had been in feeble health for several months, but recently her condition grew more favorable and many of her friends were hopeful of her recovery. A day or two preceding her deitb, however, a change for tbe worse came, and she suddenly sank away. The announcement of ber death was, therefore, a shock to rdany of ber nnmerous friends. Mrs. Keys wsb the eldest daughter of tbe late Wm M Archer, and was in the 56ih year of her age. She spent her life in our midst and was very popular among a wide cirole of friends. In her girlhood she joined the Presbyte rian Cburoh, and throughout her life was a most devoted and zealous mem opr. She wa* ever ready to lend a helping hand to the needy, or speak a comforting word to the distreRBed, and she will be missed in the Church and in the social circle. Mrs. Keys was passionately fond of flower*, and pprhnps had the lurgest collection of any person in Anderson. As a devoted wife and a faithful friend she performed life's duties well, and is now at rest with that Saviour whom she loved to serve In their core bereavement tbe devoted bus band and brothers and sisters who are left to cherish her memory have tbe sympa thies of all their friends. On Saturday, after appropriate funeral services conduct ed in the Presbyterian Church by Dr. D. E Frierson, assisted by Rev. J. N. H. Snmmerel. tbe remains were Interred in Silver Brook cemetery.

That was a rare treat which the people of Anderson enjoyed la?t Wednesday night when they heard Gen. T. L. Rosser in his famous lecture, "From Menasses to Appomattox." Nor was tbe interest confined alone to the old veterans pres ent, to whom the scenes and incidents narrated and described by tbe lecturer were familiar through personal experi ence. So thrilling was the portrayal of tbe moving drama of each battle, so vivid were the pictures, given by aid of tbe Stenopticon, of tbe famous men of those days and of the stirring scenes thereof, that tbe most lukewarm person must have become keenly alive to tbe burning eloquence and the glory of the story be ing told. Necessarily, tbe time given to each epoch and each battle of the war was short, but Gen. Rossel gives a connected, coherent, lucid and brilliant narrative of tbe war. He was himself a distinguish ed participant in many of tr most dash ing and magnificent feats which he de scribes; but with the true modesty of a brave soldier be does not laud himself at all. All Southern children should hear this lecture, and particularly should tbey hear his ploi for fair treatment of the Confederate soldier in the forming of opinions as to motives and canaea of the war. It is as eloquent and pathetic as his position 1b strong and truthful. Gen. Rosser oftentimes took his audience "off their feet" by his splendid bursts of eloquence, and then tbe applause was loud and long. At tbe end of tbe lecture Gen. Bonbam, by request, introduced the following resolutions, which were adopted by the audience: Whereas, we, the members of Camp Stephen D. Lee, United Confederate Vet erans, and of Camp W. W. Humphreys, Sons of Confederate Veterans, and the citizens of Anderson hero assembled, bave beard with profound pleasure ana pride of tbe munificent offer of Mr. Chas. B. Rouss to give 3100,000 toward the buildiug of a Confederate Battle Abbey ; and, whereas, Gen. Thomas L. Rosser, with unselfish devotion to tbe Confederate cause, is giving bis time and talents to tbe purpose of raising tbe re mainder of the sum of money necessary to the consummation of the patriotiocon ception of Mr. Rouss. Now, therefore, be it? Resolved, That we are filled with un bounded admiration of the royal gene rosity of Mr. Rouss, and the devoted self sacrificing labors of Gen. Rosser. Risolved further, That we depute Gen. Rosser to convey to Mr. Rouss the ex pression of our sentiments of respect and admiration for him and his noble-hearted action ; and that we do hereby extend to Gen. Rosser our hearty thanks for the pleasure he has given us in hearing his brilliant and eloquent lecture, and that we indulge the hope that it may be given to us many more times o're he is called to foln his comrades who have crossed over the river and rest under the shade of the trees, to bear and see bim, and that we bid him God-speed in the noble and unBelfish work he is doing. Gen. Rosaer will lecture to-night at Pelzer, and several of our citizens are going over to hear him. Lowndesville News. Mr. E R. Horton went to Williamston Friday.
