In another column we publish a card from Mr, C. S. Sullivan, Chief of the An derson Fire Department, which desei ves the attention of every citizen of Anderson, and especially those who are always readv to give orders and interfere with the work of the firemen. While at work on a fire the firemen are subject only to the orders of tbe Chief, and the frequent interference of persons who are not members of tbe Department causes confusion and oftfin results in damage to property. Chief Sul livan is right in calling attention to this matter, and cur people should bear it in mind. Mrs. Padgett, wife of Col. L.

While a num ber of young men there were playing ball the ball rolled under a passing team. The driver, whose name was Adams, picked up tho ball and put it in his pocket, refusing to give it up. The young men followed for some distance, and at length tried to take tho ball from Adams by force.

Dr.llichardson was called in, and on Thurs day afternoon Adams was reported as be ing out of his head and in a critical con dition." The South Carolina Presbytery conven ed in itH Spring sossion in this city last night. The opening sermon was preached by the retiring Moderator, Rev. 15. P. K?id, of Pendleton, whoao text was from Prov. 3:0?"In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and 1 le shall direct thy path."

We hear of no damage done by tbc freshet in Ssneca Rivor last week except at Portman Shoals, where the electric plant of the Anderson Water, Light and Power Company ia being constructed. The dam age ttiere, however, was over-ostimated, it having been given out by some of the "bosses" about the place while the flood was at its highest stage?a time when it was impossible to approximate the losses either actual or probable, and when the worst wai fearpd?that the loss to the contractor?, Messrs. Watkin3 Hardaway. both of whom were ab3ent would be ?1.500. It is hard, even yet, to give the extent of the damage, but It will no doubt reach $500. The water rose rapidly to the height of say twelve feet. From the water's edge at either bank the dam is finished toward the center of the stream, where for a space of about one hundred and fifty feet, noth Ing has been done. Through this gap the water poured with terrific velocity, pre senting a magnificent spectacle to the idght-eeers lining the banks of the stream One of the hoisting engines and a 00-foot derrick Btationed at tbia gap, both secured by large wire cables, were swept away by '.he current. The engine has been racover i?d, but ia badly wrecked. Stretched aerosa this gap waa an extemporized wire bridge upon which the workmen passed to either nide of the stream, and this was swept away. The rapidly rising stream, pent necessa rily by the finished portions of the dam anally vented itself at an unfinished place well out from the bank and soon filled the excavation for the p1wer house, GO by :,00 feet and fully 30 fett deep. Consider able damage was done here to the work in progress, to tools, machinerv and material Aesoon as the river subsided, the Compa ny set to work to pump out tbis immense quantity of water?a job of itself. Before the freshet came the contractors were making satisfactory progress with the work, but something like a week waa necoseariiy loBt before getting regularly to work again. Since Christmaa the water has been "flush," to use a river term, and for several weeks work on the dam in the stream has been suspended, and the hands set to work on the power house excava lion and placing the five big flumes In position. These flumes were all in position when the rise came, and the turbulent Seneca rushed sportively through them as if, weary with the waste of centuries, it were impatient to contrib ute the powerful energy of its waters to the trappings of industrial enlargement A Card from the Chief of the Fire Department. Editor Intelligencer: It has been a very noticeable fact at some of the recent fires that have occurred In our city, that much confusion has been caused by par tie?, in no way connected with the fire de paument, endeavoring to assist firemen in the discharge of their duties. Confo sion has been further increased by parties giving orders who have no authority to do so. Whilst we are fully aware that this is done in the most friendly spirit and only with a desire to aid, but so long as this state of affairs exista our fire department cannot be as efficient as it should be. The department is in a healthy condition, and contains about one hundred men, each company having sufficient men to handle all apparatus, and it has been generally re solved by each company to not permit, in the future, interference by parties not members of the department. In view of fc'iis, our city has an ordinance that gives to each fireman the same authority as po licemen whilst in the discharge of duties at fires, and they shall be expected to ex ercise this authority and prevent any in terference. We have been assured by the Council that we will have their co opera tion in this matter. a adopting a more rigid enforcement ot non interference, we hope to improve the discipline and effect iveness of our fire department. Very respectfully, C. 8. Sullivan. Chief A. F D. ? The Providence Journal declares that On a moderate estimate the ?200,000,000 which the Dingley tariff is expected to raise for the Government will cost the leople ?1,.'J00,000,000 in advanced prices."
