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.

Gen. Rossels Lecture.
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.

HURRAH FOR SHOES !
You all know Shoes went powerful up in price
last Fall. The "Trust" had them by the heel,
but the people kicked so much that they were
compelled to let loose. To make a long story
short, Shoes have "drapped," and we struck while
the iron was hot and bought, by actual count,
2,436 pairs, which, you know, is a good many
Shoes ; but we know lots of our friends are near*
ly bare-footed, and we propose to Shoe them at a
small cost. Now, friends, we want your trade on
Shoes.
