He will, it is stated, mako the race for the United States Son ate. >men lawyers are becoming plentiful gb, bot the New York Tribune pro ??tbink that their highest ambition 5o realized until they become idges. Then they can have the last word. -:?Tuls sectional cat clawing about lyuch ings doesn't justify tho mobs in their murdorous work nor doee it vindicate ei ther section. It only emphasizes the law lessness that is confined to no particular eectiou. ? mi Mr Bland says that "Tom Reed is the whole of Congress the way things are going just now." If he does not turn out to boa deep hole for the Republican party we aro mistaken as to the temper of the American people. A committee of Negro Democrats in Louisiana kas issued an address advising the colored voters to vote with the Demo cralijc "party in future political contests. Tho New Orleans Picayune prints the address, and expresses the hope that it will have a good effect. IrrlS75, on the authority of ono of our leading publications, there was not an organized school system in any Southern State, and yet in 1S0S the South enrolled 4,000,000 public school children, expend ing for the support of her various school systems not less than ?25,000,000. The United States Government could not select a more suitable place for the location of a sanitarium for disabled sol diers in the army and navy than Castle \ Pinckney in the Charleston harbor. Sen \ator Tillman has introduced a bill to that effect, and it is to bo hoped that it will pass._ In_the election on the new County schemes lost Saturday, the people, by their votes, have shown that they do not cure to divide their old mother Counties. Everybody should now "bury the hatch et," and forgive and forget any unpleas antness that may have originated during the campaign._ With this issue the Lntelligexcek be gins its thirty-third volume, and, with out boasting, it gives us pleasure to say that it has a larger circulation than ever before in the history of its existence. As in the post, it will continue to give the news, and work for the best interests and welfare of Anderson County and her peo ple. ? - \ The State Democratic Executive Com mittee has appointed the 31st of August as the day for holding the Senatorial pri mary election, and a campaign meeting : will be held in every County. Wednes day, August 4th, is the day set apart for Anderson. Of tho candidates mentioned for the position up to this time, Mr. Mc Laurin bos the inside track. I Every man, every woman, every child has some talent, some power, some op portunity of getting good and doing good. Eaoh day o?ers some occasion for using thU talent. As we use it, it gradually in crease*, improves, Becomes native to the character. As we neglect it, it dwindles, wither* and disappears. This is the stern but benign law by which we live. This makes character real and enduring ; this make? progress possible ; this turns men into angels, and virtue into goodness. This seems to be a peculiar season for tho resignation of College presidents in this State. Last Friday the announce ment wan made that Rev. Chas. Manly. D. D , had tendered his resignation as President of Forman University. This action is deeply regretted by tho friends of Furman, who no doubt feel that it will bo difficult to select a man as Dr. Manly's successor who is so eminently qualified as he for the position. He has been at the head of Furman for sixteen years and he has managed its affiirs with wonderful skill. We are indebtod to tho Society ot Tam many or Columbian Order of the city of New York for an iuvitatlon to attend the One Hundred and Twenty-first celebra tion by that Society on tho Fourth of July, tho birthday of our glorious Re ublic. This Order was organized in the !Sureiro.Hr that witnessed the adoption of j our present Federal Constitution, and stands to-day almost tho only survivor of a century ago. It has been found active in every effort to advance the canee of Democracy, and has numbered amongst its membore some of the most illustrious naraeain the annals of our statesmanship. Oar people are much interested now in the question of the Presidency of Clem son College. They are anxious that no nmtake be made in the selection ot Pres ident Craighead'e successor. We note . with pleasure that a correspondent in an other column suggests the election of j Prof John G. Cllnkscales for this place. Wo do not know whether orjiot he could - be induced to^ajaee^tmT"p?aco if elected, but we do know that it will bo difficult for tho Board of Trustees to secure a bet tor and more competent man. ? Prof. Clinkscak's is a most excellent teacher, a gentleman of the highest type, of fine ex ecutive ability, of wonderful tact in the management o? young men, and of per sonal popularity not surpassed by that of any man of his age in the State. We do not know any man whoje administration would tend more to strengthen and pop ularize Clerason College in this State. It U true that he is not a professional agri culturalist, but we do not think it neces sary to have such at the head of this school. Why not insist on having a skilled mechanic or a bkilled electrician? We think all this hue and cry for an ag riculturalist for the Presidency of this school is made without proper considera tion. What is needed is a man?a strong man, a man of intellect and character one of many resources and of good exec utive ability. When such an one is also endowed with a great love for and sym pathy with young men, and has the gift of inspiring them with high aspiration?, you are furnished with the proper mate rials for the making of a grrat Coilego President. All who know Prof. Clink scale* know that he possesses in a pre eminent degree all of tbe foregoing qual ifications, and, for tho good of the Col legOy We hope the Board of Trustees will elect him successor to President Craig head. ? ? ?O - - After a session of six days, during which time fifty-four witnesses were ex amined, the Court of ioquiry, appointed by Gov. Ellerbo to investigate the recent trouble on tho South Carolina College campus in Columbia between the stu dents thereof and Arljutant General Watts, last Tburaday reportod its finding and recommendations to the Governor. In the finding, Gen. Watts ordering the battalion forward for the purposa of clear ing the field is characterized as "an as sumption of authority that was unwise, unnecessary and unwarranted." T!io Court then rosp3ctfully reco ai mondod that his Esoalleney "hiy tba whole m li ter before the General Assembly f?r su> .1 action, under Article 7 of tin Cj.'islitUr tiou of 1S95 as that body may doom prop er." It is further recommended that the "Governor and Commander in Chief pub lish a general order reprimanding Gen. J. Gary Watts for a serious lack of judg ment and disregard of the rights of oth ers." The Court also racommeuded that Private Fishburne, of tho Riehland Vol uuteors, be dismissed from the service, and that Private Dunning, of the same company, be reprimanded. Gov. Ellerbe has carried out the recommendations in reference to Privates Fishburno and Da? ?los, but ho refuses to reprimand Gen. Watts, and will refer tho wholo report to the General Assembly. Notwithstanding the fact that he is ac the head of tho State militia and Gen. Watts is under his com mand, the Governor claims ho has no right to reprimand Gen. Watte, who is a constitutional officer. Here, in our hum ble judgment, tho Governor mado a mis take. He should have oither carried out all of tho recommendations of tho Court or ignorad all of them and referred the whole matter to the General Assembly. Why should ho punish the humble pri vates and let the General, who, according to the testimon}' of all the witnesses, was the sole cause of the trouble, escape? Thi? is not tho first time that Gen. Watts has disgraced his official position and brought shame to the State, and ic is to bo hoped that tho General Assembly will take up the matter aud do justice to it. The S. C. M. A. Tho commencement exercises of the South Carolina Military Academy began last Saturday by a competitive Company drill, which took place on tho Public Square at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Tho Cadets are divided into three Companies ? , and C. The drilling was highly creditable, and the contest close. Com pany B, Captain Coward, carried off the honors. On Sunday morning at 11 o'clock the commencement sermon was preached in the First Baptist Church by the Rev. J. A- Clifton, D. D., of Abbe ville. His Bnbject was, "I am that bread of life," taken from John G:4S. The ex position was clear, forcible and scholarly and was llntened to with intense interest. Monday, June2Sth, So'clock p. m.,was appointed for the competitive individual drill for the "Teague (Star of the West) medal," but a heavy shower was falling at 5 o'clock and it was postponed until 9J o'clock a. m., yesterday morning when the drill took place at the Court House Square. Forty-four Cadets entered the contest. The drilling was excellent, but from the beginning the ranks began to thin down. Considerable interest was manifested by the large crowd of specta tors. Their interest increased as the con - testants became fewer, and when Cadets J. Sally and S. 0. Canty stood the only two contestants, it was found necessary to force the spectators to fall back. For some time these most excellently drilled Cadets went through the manual like pieces of machinery. They were drilled again and again by numbers, without numbers and about face; but there was no error. It began to be whispered that it was only a question of physical endur ance. In an unguardod moment, how ever, in passing from the manual by numbers to about face and back again to the manual, Cadet Canty lost the point that about face drops the numbers and this point lost him the honor of wearing the historio Teague medal, Cadet J. B. Sally, 3rd corporal in Company B, is the winner, making the fifth Cadet to wear the medal since it was presented to the College. J. B. Sally is from Aiken Coun ty In order that our readers may fully ap preciate the honor attending the wearing of this medal its history is given as fol lows: In 18G0, when State Rights and Seces sion was the burning questions of this Shto and which culminated iu December in the memorable Convention which dissolved the Union between South Caro lina and other State?, and was followed by active preparations for war, which was Imminent, the Citadel Cadet0, full of en thusiasm and burning with the desire to change dress parade into active service, wero permitted to take charge of the bat tery on Morris Island, in Charleston har bor. Major Auderson, of the United States Army, was therein command of Fort Suinter, on Sullivan's Island, with a email garrison of about 100 men. While mauy courtesies were shown him by the people of Charleston, his position was daily growing critical. President Buch anan, appreciating this fact, made an ef fort to t>end bim men and supplies. On January 9, 1861, the merchant steamer, Star of tho West, entered Charleston har bor on this mission. The Citadel Cadets on Morris Island suspected her mission, sent several well directed shots crashing iuto her side, compelling her to put back to sea. Tnese were really the first guns of the ?war, but it was not until April, 1861, that hostilities begin iu earuest." Iu later years, Dr. B. H. Teague, of Ai ken, S. C, secured a piece of 0.1k from the steamer Star of the West which, being fashioned in the shape of a star, orna ments the beautiful Teague Medal. This medal was presented to tho Citadel by l'r. Teaguo in ISO:?, and cn the last week of the annual encampmont a prize drill is held and the medal presented to the best drilled man, who has tho honor 'of wearing it until defeated in the manu al by somo other student. It has been won by the following students: A. E. Le gare, 1S93; A. Levy, 1S94; J. D. Dial, 1895, J. M. Josey, 1896. At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon tho Cadets gave a skirmish drill io the large stubble field near the residence of W. G. Watson, and blank cartridges were free ly used. Many witnessod the skirmish, anc 'he commands, tho maneuvering and the -apid firing mado tho f-cono realistic and excit'mg. Several old "vets" re marked that the skirmish sounded "mighty familiar." This drill was not on the program of exercises aud was an un expected treat. At 7 o'clock the review aud inspection o? the battalion by the Board of Visitors took place on the City Square. Tho rain which fell between 3 and 4 o'clock had tempered the heat down considerably, put the streets in excellent condition and made the afternoon comparatively pleas ant. The sidewalks wero lined with la dies, children, men and boys. The mem bers of the Visiting Board present wore General Johnson Hegood, Gen. John Gary Watts, General Edward Anderson, Colonel J. J. Luca?, P. H. Gadsden and H. H. Crum. The Hon. J. H. Hudson, by invitation, acted with the Board. Tho Cadets were in fine trim and as they pass ed in review their appearance was highly creditable and the impression they made most satisfactory. Immediately follow ing the inspection, Lieut. McDonald, of the United States Army, the military in structor, .in a few choice remarks bid adieu to the graduating officers. Corpo ral J. M. Sally was then brought to the front and presented, by Col. J. J. Lucas, with the Teague (Star of the West) medal, which will distinguish him, foroueyear, at least, as the best drilled Cadet of the South Carolina Military Academy. During the many dress par?d?s and drills of the Citadel Cadets since they have been in Anderson, and the many dances which have taken place almost daily and nightly, tho Fourth Brigade B>md has renderod prompt, efficient and pleasing service. Without this delightful music, Camp Calhoun could not have been so attractive, parades would have boon dull and stiff, aud dancing?well, there can bo no dancing without music. Tho mem bere af the band are thorough gentlemen as well as competent musicians, aud An derson is much pleased with them and the elegant music they have furnished. The commencement exercises proper are in progress in the Opera Houso as we go to press. Hon. J. II Hudson arrived hero yesterday to deliver tho annual ad dress. Wo do not know what subject ho ha9 selectod, but we do kuow that he is learned, eloquent, earnest and sincere. These qualifications aro a sufficient guar antee that his address will bo instructivo, entertaining and full of wholesome ad vice to the young gentlemen who will to day step upon the busy stage of life to act their respective parts. The gradua ting class is as follows : First honor man C. S. Bartless, Beaufort; second honor man R. D. Epps, Williamsburg ; third honor man E. C. Horton, Aiken. Tho other members of the class are: \. G. Hoi mes, Florence ; S. M. McLsoj, un ter; F. A. Coward, Charleston; G. R. Fisbburne, Charleston; II. M. Langly, Orangeburg; J. D. Dial, Columbia; Kay Terrell, Dallas, Texas ; B. J. Tillman, Edgefield ; Wm. Mazyck, Charleston ; J. B. DuBoso, Darlington ; R. L. Stoke?, Union; A. M. Deal, Blacksburg; A.B. McElroy, Seneca. Graduating orations will be delivered by Cadets C. S. Barlless and R. D. Eppa. To-morrow morning at 0 o'clock tho Cadets will break camp and start fur their homes to spend vacation. Anderson has been delighted with thorn aud will miss them greatly. I The Perry-Bynum Duel nt Nation's Ford, on ilio Tugaloo. I A u.teet:i<? lito tieid ol honor undor the rules of the codo duello always pos sesses a charm, tho moro ospocially if tho parties to it are prominent and tho re sults tragic. A sort of weird fascination at once attaches to tho spot and holds on to it forevor. People nover weary of talking or reading oi* s.uch meeting;-!, and traditions of them, warped and discolor ed by each recital, aro truu.sinii.tod from father to sou generation after generation, till one can rely with certainty upon little moro than the fact of the duel itself. Impressed with this I wrote C 1. W. II. Ferry, of Greenville, six years ago, asking for a few facts relating to tho duel, with tho purpose of weaving these and tho apparently authentic traditions I had picked up into an article for this paper. A prompt roply came, but it was from his mother, in her own hand, who clearly discerning the object I had in view askeii me for her sake and for tho sake of hor husband, who always sought to discour age publicity of the unfortunate afluir, to say nothing of the duel for the newspa pers. That aettled me. I had tho honor ofa brief correspondence with .Mrs. Perry, during which she sent mo some books embodying tho writings of her distin guished husband which she published after his death, aud tbeae with her lettera I prizo very highly. But Mrs. Perry has been gone to her final reward several years, and I feel absolved from my en joined silence. As a great many people know tho Per ry-Bynum duel grew out oi the acrimoui ousness that characterized all discussion, public and private, of the question of Nullification. Party spirit ran far high er in South Carolina then than it did even during theriseof Tillmanism. Thecom mon herd, the "rabble" o? which we* have hoard so much in recent years, pommel ed each other other at public gatherinss for opinion's sake, and for the same cause frontlemen settled i heir differences accord ing to tho codo. At the time of the duel, Governor Per ry, although but twenty-seven, had al ready made a reputation as a lawyer, and was makine himself folt in the politics of tho time. He had espoused the unpopu lar side in the Nullification controversy, and through his paper at Greenville ho waB pouring volleys of the grnpe and canister of sound Union doctrine into the ranks of the Nulliliers. He was in their way, badly so, and must be gotten rid of. Turner Bynum, of Columbia, where he had but recently graduated from tho South Carolina College, and who was a young man of fine promise, of splendid courage and a crack shot withal, was brought to Greenville and put in editori al control of the Nullification organ, with the taoit purpose, I am well assured, of engaging Perry in a personal quarrel where ho would challenge and kill him. The scheme worked smoothly enough to the denoument at Hatton's Ford, on tbe Tugaloo, when, as Bynum, shot through tho bowels, was being laid in a bateau to be brought from tho island, one of his partv was heard to mutter, "D? the luck!" Governor Perry was, all through his lile, ?trongly opposed to duelling, and he accepted Bynum's challenge as a deliber ate test of his courage, failure to meet which in the face of popular approval of the code would destroy him. I do not know who Perry's second was but his surgGon was Dr. Crook, of Green ville. A Capi, Warley, a low country man residing at Pendleton, himself a dueiliat, was Bynum's second, but I do not know who his burgeon was. Capt Andrew Hunter, of Townvllle, then a school boy of 17 at Pendleton, frequently saw Bynum at C3pt. Warley's, whither he had repaired for consultation and tar get practice just preceding the final en counter. Capt. Hunter remembers By num as a fine specimen of physical man hood, handsome and of determined mein. It may be said here that at that time a large numb?r of low country gentlemen, wealthy and influential in public affairs, resided at Pendleton. They were, nearly all of them, rampant Nulliliers, aud they coddled Bynum as their champion that was to put out of the way the one man who, more than all others.'hindered their cause in the up-country. But after By num's death his friends of an hour In the bitterness of their chagrin, turned their backs on hia young brother, talented but dissipated, who had come to witness his brother's triumph. Theyoung man soon found himself peunilesa and friendless, hearing which Perry, with characteristic magnanimity, went to hia relief, gave him a liberal supply o? money and sent bim horn, to Columbia. This younjf Bynum wn.t down in the butchery of the Alamo four years later. The duel was fought iu February or March, 1S32, on the largo island Ht Hat ton's Ford, on tho Tugaloo Kiver. Tho principals with their parties ropaired to the neighborhood a short while, tradition says two weeks, but this would seem rather improbable, before tho time set for the meeting and took up quarters?Per ry at the home now owned by Mrs. W. P. Norris and Bynum at the place now the property of Mr. Harrison Price, and half a mile nearer the river. Pistol prac tice and attempts at adjustment oi the difficulty wont on, and it is euid that o.ich of the principals became so expert as to bo able to cut a cord at fifteen pjcos. and the shooting at tho dud. would Boem to verify this. On the oarly morning of the fatal day, Perry's second made a final but ineffec tual attempt at adjustment, and when tho young ma who bore the communi cation returuod, and Perry, who was walking about the yard iu apparent anx iety, learned the result, he was seou to go to his room and kneel beside his bed iu prayer. lie and hia friends repaired at once to the island aud wero quickly followed by the Bynum party, who whirled to tho scone in a carriage. Bynum wore au air of bravado while the preliminaries ware being arranged, but Perry, slightly pale, exhibited a quiet but nono tho less deter mined demeanor. The spot selected, if that which is pointed out at tho present da}' is tbe identical one, was within a hundred yard-* of tho upper end of tho Island and within thirty feet of the water on the western side. Tho distauco was fifteen paces aud tho principals stood in pits dug for tho purpose. Bynum fired on the instant, possibly a little before the word, and his bullet just grazed Perry's chest on a line with the heart. Bynum's quick and cioso shot must havo deflected Perry'eaim for his bulletcrashed through his adversary's abdomen and clipped the tip of the little finger of bis left hand placed at his side. Ho sank at once to the ground, attended by his surgeon and friends. Perry's eurg?ou was instantly at his side after the exchange of shots. The reddish padding of Perry's coat, ex posed to the view by tho pathway ol By num's bullet looked like blood. Too doctor tore opon the ooat hastily, but in an instant exclaimed exultantly, "Upon my word, sir, you're not hurt," and turned bis attention to help with Bynum. Perry strolled off down the island, and on his return expressed a wish to speak to Bynum. Tho spot where he Jay was surrounded with lookers-on, thero being quite a crowd on the island. These gave back slightly and Perry, advancing, rais ed his hat and said, "I hope, ?r, you are not fatally hurt." Bynum replied in el fect that he would hate to die of so trilling a wound and that ho hoped to live to re no w the fight. He was gamo to the last. Perry hurried off to the home of his pa rents, fifteen miles up the river, two miles from South Union, in Oconee, to break to them, it is said, the first intelli gence th?y had had that their son's life was likely to be or had been jeopardized ou tho field of honor. I bave an idea, however, that they knew the moeting was impending and that be hastened, for he traveled at groat speed, to notify them of his safety. Poor Bynum! He sot out from Iiis lodgings that morning full of life anil hopo aud was brought buck within an honra dying man. That was apoiteu tious hour to him, an hour of awful sac rifice, iu which ho staked all the issuos of lifo and eternity on tho hazard of tho quickest and surest shot?and lost. Ho died in a few hours and was buried that night or tho next io a pitiless wintry rain at the Stono furch, near Pendleton. Two giant pines, standingat tbo head aud foot, not ten les t apart, rear their lofty heads above his lonely, unmarked grave, and tho perennial soughing of thobroe/.es through their foliage is his onl requiom. W. A. D. Waco Hems. I bel levo I will try, Mr. Editor, and givo a few dota from this part of tho globe and let people know there is such a place as Waco. Well, our crops are lino, but need rain at present. You just ought to soo tho creek corn. Peoplo aro just making Egypt out of their creek bottoms. \Ve havo plenty of blackberries, rod bugs and mosquitoes. So yon seo we are kept busy. Our Trinity prayer meeting is well at tended, and Sunday School also. Mr. Welboru is off attending a holiness meoting. The health of our community is in good condition, and why not, with such good doctors as wo have? Dr. Duckworth, of Lobanon, and Dr. Willie S. Hutchinson, of loia, both near us. Dr. Hutchinson is doing good work so far as I can learn and I trust he may continuo to do so. The Righi Man for the Position. Editors Intelligencer: Last Tuesday was a notable day at Clooison, for, be sides the Citadel Cadets, there were sev eral hundred visitors from Greenville, Anderson, Walhalla and the surrounding country. I think it spoaks well for tho discipline of both schools that, with so large a crowd, everything should have passed off so quietly? I understand that President Crnigbead has resigned, and although sorry to loso him, wo cannot help feoling an interest in tho question of his successor. I spoke to a number of the substantial men and farmers that day, and tho general feeling is, that \? must Lavo oue of our best men to fill his place. As you well know there has been much opposition to the College; some of ita early supporters having turned against it. Clemson is so well equipped for fir?t-class work it seems a pity that prejudice should cripple its usefulness. If wo could find a South Carolinian of high ability and genial manners, who could go among the pooplo and win their confidence, I think the future of the Col lege would bo secure The man for the placo (and there are many who agree with mo) ?9 John G. Clinkscale?, tho present Professor of Mathematics. He has been identified with the College from its opening, and has the lovo and respect not only of tbo faculty and students, but of every man in the County who has corco in contact with him. This is a crit ical time with the College, and it is a pity that such important changes in the fac ulty should occur just now. This sick ness (of which ordinary care will prevent a recurrence) will bo used as capital by its enemies, which is rather unjust, for whon a death occurs at other colleges, very few outside know anything about it, while hero it is mado public all over tho State. L. Oconcc County, June2S. Presentment of the Grand Jury. To His Honor R. C. Watts, Presiding Judge : We, the Grand Jury, having passed on all of the bills handed to us by the Solici tor, submit the following general pre spntment: At the last term of the Court a commit tee of our number, consisting of J. B. Leverett, J. ?. McElroy and E. B. Rice, were appointed to oxamineall the county offices with powor to employ an expert to assist them in the work. The said committee has reported that they em ployed J. E. Breazeale, Esq., to assist them in tho examination of all the offices except the office of tho County Board of Commissioners, of which Board he is the attorney, and in the examination of this office they had the assistance of H. H. Watkins, Esq. From this committee's report, we find that all the county offices have been properly kept and all moneys received have been properly accounted for. In tho examination of the offices by this committee they report that they found some difficulty In ascertaining whether all the school funds had been properly expended,, arising from the fact that the books of the County Superin tendent of Education were kept beginning and ending with the scholastic year while all the other officers' accounts were with the fiscal year. This is due to the fact that the scholastic and fiscal years are not the same. We can see no good reason for making the scholastic year different from tho fiscal year, and therefore call the attention of our members of the Legisla ture to this fact and suggest that they make an effort to change the scholastic year bo as to conform to the fiscal year. In the examination of the reports of Magistrates required by law to be made monthly to the Clerk of the Court and the Auditor the said committee find that some of the Magistrates had not made euch reports, except whon they had col lected fines. This we do not think is a compliance with the law, and recommend that in the future such reports be made whether any fines have been colleced or not. We are glad to note tho effort of the County Board of Commissioners to have good roads and desire to express our ap proval of the preeent plan of working the roads, to wit: by hiring overseers and hands. The cost of working the roads for the last fiscal year, which was fourteon months, under this plan only exceeded the cost of working them the fiscal year previous, which was twelve months under the contract system, about one thousand dollars, and the result is much better roads. We suggest, however, that the County Commissioners endeavor to have all the roads worked earlier in tho spring. The accouuts of maintaining the convicts is kept by the County Supervisor'under tho head of Public Roads, which includes all tho expenses of working the roads. For public information we Buggost that he kee?p the accouuts of maintaining the convicts in a separate account. We re-.pectfully request the County Board of Commissioners to look cloeely after parties who damage the public roads by erecting dams on the sideB of tho road to prevent the escape ofwator, and that they take the proper steps to have such obstructions removed and to punish the offenders. We deploro tho disposition of some parties since the recent decision of Judge Simonton, U. S. Circuit Judge, in the original package cases, to opon barrooms and to engage in the retail of Bpirituous liquors and regret that it has been neces sary for so many prosecutions ag8inst parties for violation of the dispensary iaw. The evil of a return to the old bar rooms cannot be estimated, and we hope to Beo a check put upon those who are inclined to disregard the Statutes of the State intended for the control and re striction ot the liquor traffic. In this connection we dosiro to commend Mr. Joseph R. Fant, Chief Constable, for his zealous and faithful efforts to onforco the law. The bills of indictment handed to us by the Solicitor, in which this officer is the prosecutor, and the testimony of witnesses thereon aro sufficient to satisfy us if wo needod any proot of the fact that ho is discharging his duties faithfully. We congratulate tho people of tho coun ty that we are Boon to have a commodious court house sufficient for the accommo dation of the county officers and tho officers of tho court, together with the jurors and witnesses and spectators while court is in session and one that will pro vide adequate protection to the records of the county. We are gratified also to know that we will soon have a jail that will be a safe place for the confinement of the prisoners and at the same time not be an unnecessary punishment to those confined thereiD. Wo have received some communica tions asking us to present parties for violating one ol the Statutos of the State, giving the names of witnossos to prove tho charge. desiro to omphasiz.o what we said in general presentment at the last term of court on this matter. The law affords ampio remedy for the punish ment of law breakers and provides how they shall be brought before the court, to wit: by a warrant sworn out before some magistrate. ? We have, however, referrod the said communications to the nearest magis trates to the parties reported and request that they tnko tho proper stops to have said cases investigated and that they re port to us at the next term of court what action they have taken thereon. In conclusion we hereby return our thanks to his Honor, tho Presiding Judge, the Solicitor and the other officers of the Court for courtesies shown us during tho term. Respectfully submitt&d. J. B.

Is was one of those hot Summer days in June?I uow recall the time exactly? it was June, 1897. The crowd was gather ed about v;l ere formerly stood a tall pine, Just south of Anderson County's venera ble Court House. That something out of the ordinary wes transpiring was eviden ced by the jini and push. Those on the outor circle wtre scrambling to get inside, while those on the inner circle conceded their ground reluctantly. Useless to say it, we j jined the P03H. The centre of attraction was a gentle man of ordinary appearance, weighing about one hundred and fifty. To say there was nothing in the appearance of the man to attract special attention is pet!ing it mild, but to listen to his tale of woo would touch a sympathetic chord in the most callous nature. This is the strain of his story : Feller-Sitizens, Gentlemen, Mr. Prcze dint and Ladees : I stan before u ter da not ter tare down what mi frena ov de op pereitiou hev e^tabliehed by their hindus try and skill.
