._ LOCAL NEWS.' ; WEDNESDAY, OCT. 27. 189?. Laying the Corner Stone. on last Woduesday the 20th instant the .corner stone of Anderson's New Court House was laid. Thia day marked tho beginning of a new era in the history of the County, and many hundreds of peo ple gathered to witness the beautiful and imposing ceremonies. The Old Court House with ts roll of eminent judges," eloquent advocates, its long Hats of grand and petit jurors, its claimants and re spondents'and its pri3oners,tr)gether with the many sensational and pathetic scenes, had passed into h.story carrying with it the doings of tho people of this County for three score years and ten. Recollec tions of the past and bright hopes for the. future made the occasion of unusual in- ' terest which was fully attested by the great assembly cf both old and young. The ceremonies were conducted by that grand order of Free Masonry which, while now consisting of persons united for social enjoyment and mutual assist ance msinly, represents that ancient fra " ternity of Craftsmen of which Solomon and the two Hirams were the lirst Grand Masters and whose Master Workman was the real director of the construction of beautiful edifices, specimens of which are the magnificent Temple of Solomon and the wonderful cathedrals which are dotted all over Europe. The ceremonies were in charcre of Hi ram Lodge A. F. M. 5, which called to . their assistance Jacob* T. Barron, Most - Worshipful Grand Master A. F. M. S. C. W. C. McGowan, of Abbeville, was se lected orator of the day. All arrangements suitable to the occa sion were made. The Anderson Cornet Band and a chorus of trained singers were thereto brighten the occasion with delightful instrumental and vocal music. Temporary flooring vpas placed on the walls and "inviting spats arranged and dry shavings covered the ground made wet by recent rains. At eleven o'clock the Masons, headed by. Grand Master Barron, marched to the building and the cere monies began by a hymn, followed by prayer by Grand Chaplain J. R Earle. The Lodges represented and the young ladies actintr as sponsors are as follows: Hiram 6j5, Miss Nellie Humphreys; Bel ton 130, Miss Lena Campbell; Hermon 11(>, Miss Edna Divver; Barnet 106, Miss Ida Jameson; Pendleton 34, Miss Myrtie McWhorton; Furman 170, Miss Louise Gilmer; Townville 207, Miss Rosa Sears'. The Worshipful Grand Lodge A F. M. ofS. C. wat constituted as follows by ' Most Worshipful Grand Master Jacob T. Barron: Most Worshipful R. F. Divver, D. G. M.; Worshipful Ju. E. Campbell, S. G. W.; Worshipful G. N.. C. Boleman. J. G. W.; L. Sharpe, G. S.; Worshipful J. P. TJnckott, M. D.j G. W.; Right Wor shipful J. C. Watkins, and Worshipful J J.Gilmer, S. G. D.; Worshipful B. F. Shirley and J. L. Bryant, J. G. D.; Worshipful J. C. Thomas, G. Pura.; Rev. Bro. J. . Earle, Grand Chaplain; D. M. Stephens and J. J. Dodd, G. T.; Right Worshipful T. F. Hill. 'Grand Marshal; Worshipful J. B. Lewis, Asst. Grand Marshal. Having placed the 3tone, the Most Wor shipful Grand Master, 'Jacob T. Barron, delivered a learned and most excellent address on Masonry, ita objects and acope. Right Worshipful Grand Marshal T. F. Hillen elegant and appropriate language, then introduced the distinguished orator of the day, Mr. W. C. McGowan, who for more than an hour held the undivided attention of the audience. Paying a glowing tribute to the history of old Pen dleton and Auderssn and to tho distin guished men. who had adorned the legal profession-Judges Orr, Reed, Whitner and the members of the Anderson Bar J. Tyler Whitfield. Peter "Vandiver, J. W. Norri !, J. W. Harrison and others he selected for his subject "Obedience to Law," and drawing from the life of Socra tes a grand lesson of subordination to law, he pointed out the duties and high privileges of - American citizens as makers as well as enforcers of the law, and referring to the histories of Athens j and Rome, pictured the results of insub ordination. He emphasized the necessi ty of onforoing the law by an upright ex . ercise of the jury privilege and the unin fluenced use of the ballot find against that disregard of law which must inevitably bring about a state of anarchy. He re minded his hearers of tho prediction of Macaulay that, when we had reached the .Aith century and the few had amassed millions while the toiling masses strug gled with poverty, growing poorer and poorer each day, this grand Republic would crumble and decay bemiath the tread of anarchy. He referred io the markets being cornered and the p rices being dictated by the few on the articles used for the daily food by the masses, and admonished his hearers that the utmost caution by the body politic and complete subordination of the individual to law could alone avert the fulfilment pf Ma c uley's prophecy. Turning from this, he spoke of the homes of our country, tho influences of parents and the necessity of inculcating obedience in children, dwelling upon the fact that an obedient child made an obedient citizen. He closed by paying a gi owing tri bute to mothers. The address was appropriate, forceful and eloquent. lu short, it was a great speech. The inscription on the northern face of ?tbe stone is Jacob T. Barron,M. W. G. M., A. F. M., S. C.. and on the eastern face, ' October 20th. A. M.. 5897.

He was Chagrinned. The following arnusirg incident oc curred in front of the Evans Pharmacy last Friday moraine and we publish it by permission : Mr. Jncob Irons Miller, of Macon County, N. O , arrived in the city Friday morning in his bu gc y and pro ceeded to make it known that he was teaching the "Oklahoma Antiquel Art Wort." He drove to the fron i of the Evnus Pharmacy and alighted with a pic ture in o cb hand and approached the en trance. Far back in the store, fie.ciag the entrance, is a large mirror v/t ich adorne, the front of the prescription case. This ei6ss was immediately in front of Mr. Miller, and all at once he discovered what he supposed to be a campetitor. He stop ped short, and, gezing at bim, lifted his pictures to attract his attention. His competitor did the same. Miller's face took on a bewitching smite of friendliness and he again raised hi; pictures. The other man, with a smile equally an friend ly, lifted his pictures He took a etep forward and bis-new acquntnta ce did the same. Quickly shifting both pictures to one hana, and, with a countenance beam ing with the most friendly intentions, be took another step forward, and, es tending and elevating his band aud crooking his index finger, beckoned the other man to approach. The other man did the same. Instantly looking beyond the man, Miller discovered a horse and bu-,;gy exactly like his own, and, turning, the tr th flashed .upon him-he had been holding a panto mimic conversation with his own image reflected from a glass. On either sirte of the door, watching every motion and change of facial expression, stood several Anderson men, noted for their keen appre ciation of the ridiculous They Cook in the entire scene, and when it ended their smothered mirth burst into immoderate peals of laughter, i To say that Miller was chagrinned is expressing it mildly, but be joined in the fun and eaid : "I have trav eled mighty nigh every whar-sight or ten States and to Texas, bot that's the worst fooled I ever were. I thought that feller looked like me, but I snowed it want me, and I 6eed he hud picton and I lond to rnvself I'd like to git aquanted. Well, that's pretty heavy on me, but you tellers can laugh and eojoy yo'B&lves : I ain'l; no objection?. 'Never I eeeci my o d horse and baggy I knowed I was tooled. No, let um laugh. I love to see u m enjoy it " Miller seems brim fall of good nature and we wish him success with bis "Okla homa Antiquel art work." Belton Items. .

Fin rr cfc LK-ON Prop. Since we moved into our New Building, considering the work that was necessarily compelled to be done, the hot, unseasonable weather and the low price of Cotton, our business has been everything we could expect. We stocked our pretty, new room with the choicest Stock of Merchandise that was ever shown in the City of Anderson. We never gave more time to the selection of styles and quality than at this time, and with boldness, and without fear of successful con tradiction, we make the assertion that we have the best selected and prettiest Stock of Dry Goods, Millinery, Notions, Shoes, Clothing, Hats and Gents' Furnishings in the City of Anderson. We announce again that we have never allowed any competitor tc undersell us, or to offer better values than we will. Let them make all the claims they will, and use all the persuasive powers at their command, but we "will meet them at Phillipi" on prices and quality. Listen to us. We mean every word we say. We don't want you to trade with us unless you feel that we are giving you full value for your money, and offering at least as great inducements as any of our compet itors. We verily believe, and think we can demonstrate beyond the shadow of a doubt, that from one end to the other of our Stock that we aro offering as great, if not greater, advantages than any other establishment in the city. This is not boasting. We give our entire time, thought and attention to the Dry Goods and Clothing business. We have experience in these lines, and that gives us~~great advantages. No one in this city shall you a prettier or more stylish ! Drees or give you better value than we will. . MILLINERY. Ladies, no one in all upper Carolina (not alone in Ander son) shall sell you a prettier Hat, combining the essential qualities of quality, style, workmanship and price than we will, Not a bit of it. We are strictly in the Millinery Busi ness, and will not be outdone. LADIES' SHOES. No house in the city shall sell you a better Shoe for the money than we will. From what the trade tells us no house in the city can show as large a stock,of Capes and Jackets than we can, nor shall any of them sell you for less money than we will. CLOTHING.

Don't fail to come to see us. With best wishes and kindest feelings to every one, we are in the fight for busiaess. Yours very truly, CL J t 0"O3STES &t CO. IT IS NOT SO MUCH THE COST OF THE GOODS But it is the benefit you derive from using them and the good they do you which marks their worth. SHOES Are the most deceptive things in the world. A 75c. Shoe may sometimes hav its exterior so polished up and its style be such a good counterfeit that fron its appearance you would judge it to be as good as a SI 50, possibly a 82.0 Shoe. In fact, they might be divided into two classes : Shoes that are mad simply to sell, and Shoes that are built t give service. It is the latter whicl we prefer handling, as we know that nothing tends so much to dissatisfy i customer as to be deceived in the looks of a Shoe. We have satisfied custom ers in this line, those who come back to us when in need of Footwear. Let ui make a customer of you. We want you to look at-our line of JEANS And compare prices. We know that you will save money by going to this much trouble. We nave beautiful styles in DRESS GOODS On which there will be a saving of 10 to 15 per cent to you in buying. There is no harm in looking at them, and we will be glad to prove to you the truth of this assertion. McCTJLLY BROS. TO THE PUBLIC OF ANDERSON CO. To all People who wear Shoes.
