Intelligencer. Fuhlished every Wednesday. J. P. CLINKSCALES, ) EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, ? PROPRIETORS. \ TEEMS.' } ONE YEAB, ---- - $1 30 SIX MONTHS. - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, AUG. 9, 1899. The Baily Times made its appearance in Greenville a few days ago. It is an afternoon 7-column quarto, ably edited and neatly printed. Anderson has some big-hearted, pub lic-spirited men who take advantage of every opportunity to promote the town and county's welfare. May their tribe increase. The prevalence of crimes by boys again emphasizes the danger of reading ?viciousliterature. The yellow-covered romance is second in its evils to the yellow newspapers that now infest the land, and have free entrance even into cultured! homes. Here is a paragraph that is interest ing- if true: A* northern syndicate re cently offered Mrs. Jefferson Davis $90,000 for her home at Beauvoir, Miss., but she would not have the place turn ed to commercial account. Now the State Daughters of the Confederacy are to buy the house for $25,000. If cotton mill companies continue to be organized in South Carolina, as at the rate during the past six months, this State will not only soon distance - all her sister States in cotton manu facturing, but will soon compete with .Massachusetts. Let the good work go on. We have room for many more. Anderson must have another big mill. _->m m The Postoffice Department has been overwhelmed with applications from communities throughout the country to name their postoffices "Dewey/' ' Already twenty-eight postoffices in as many different States have been given the name/ of the hero of Manila Bay, and over .r>l5 other applications are on the postal files. Seventy different places in Tennessee have asked for the name. Only one office in each State can belar the name. T?e Natchez (Miss.) Democrat makes an appeal to cotton farmers to hold back one-third of their ginnings until after December or January. It says : "The two-thirds will bring nearly as much money, marketed in this way, as the whole crop marketed in the usual way. The government says the July condition'is three and four-tenths per cent, less, or, a total depreciation of . eleven and four-ten chs pei- cen t. Esti - mating* the current crop at 11,200.000 bales, it means a shrinkage of 1,277,000 / bales for 1899-1900." The indications are that' the uext campaign will open up earlier than common. The fact is names of men of prominence have been already men tioned by their friends as thc proper persons to fill certain offices. We do not suppose any one doubts that the chances of holding and getting office is being figured on very industriously by the ins as well as the outs. It is not at all likely that candidates will be scarce. The offices will not go begging. We are impressed that there will be some skillful moves on the political chess board, and warn the voters to be very watchful._ _ . The Neal investigating committee concluded its work in Greenville last week. There were no new develop ments,, except Senator Tillman's denial . of certain transactions which Neal says are true. From their respective state ments there is a big lie out. The com mittee finds Neal short about $11,500, and Neal confesses to the amount of about $3,300. Thc report of the com mittee will be submitted to the Gov ernor this week, and it is said it will be recommended that Neal be prosecuted. This is right. If Neal has stolen the State's money let him be punished like any other criminal. The case will be watched with interest. The appearance of yellow fever at Hampton, Va., only emphasizes the fact that there is need of a quarantine bureau that will cover every inch of national territory, and whose authority will be paramount and absolute. Only in this way can there be intelligent and consistent preparation for fighting infection. A scourge like yellow fever knows nothing about the sovereignty of the States, and protection against it is really a matter of national concern. One of the first acts of Congress next winter ought to be the establishment of a quarantine system thrt will finally remove the United States from danger of further visitation from the "yellow terror.^ Senator Tillman attended a pic nie at Sumter last Friday, and, judging from the newspaper reports of his speech, he has commenced his work of again stir ring up the old factional bitterness in the State. Among many other things he said that he was no peace and unity man and the lines were still here and would be drawn. Thc men who form ed the old rings and rode into office over the people's backs were still try ing to ride into office and would do it if not watched. Senator Tillman may be able to revive this old factional feeling, but in this section of the State the better and more intelligent fla ss of his supporters have had enough of it, and he will find that they will not up hold him in creating bitter strife among the white people again. We doubt if he will have any opposition in the campaign next year to succeed him self in the United States Senate', and there is no use for him to conduct his campaign as he did in former years. Such a campaign would again divide the Democrats and would do the grand old State harm. South Carolina is gaining rapidly in manufactories, her people are contented and prosperous, and any man -who has the welfare and interests of the people at heart will not stir up strife among them. Autan Items. Kev. Dr. Watson is doing some very excellent preaching at Sandy Springs just now. There is a very pleasing attendance, both at the morning and evening services. Work up, good peo ple, and do not let his labors be in vain. Miss Minnie Blackman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Blackman, has re lapsed and is very ill at this writing. She has been confined for several months past with paralysis of the heart. Mrs. Emma Majors, of Pickens, while visiting relatives and friends in this community, was taken ill while at Mr. J. M. Blackman's and is now at his residence. The writer visited the family reunion of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Smith, near Pisgah Church, on Saturday, the 5th inst. There were forty-eight of the descendants present with an absence of nineteen. Cotton is beginning to opeu, and we fear there will be a surprising shortage in the crop.owing to a deficient quantity of rain. Messrs. J. E. Pilgrim, John Wooten and John Kensler, returned from a pleasure trip over in Georgia some days since. They report a very fine time. Don't forget that uext Saturday, 12th inst., is the day appointed for you to meet at Sandy Springs to make ar rangements for the building of anew school house. Bon AMATEUR. Race Riot in Greenville. GREEN VILLE, S. C., August 7.-De ports of a race riot in Greenville have been exaggerated. On Sunday night a dfliculty started afc the Poe Mill. Ac cording to the evidence of witnesses, negroes precipitated the riot by delib erately firing into the house of John R. Ellenburg, a cotton mill operative, living just across the Buncombe road from the fertilizer factory. The shoot ing occurred between G and 7 o'clock, or an hour before dark. There were present at the house at the time of the shooting John R. El lenburg, Mrs. It. Ellenburg, T. P. El lenburg, the father of John R. Ellen burg, Mr. and Mrs. J'. C. Phillips, Tay lor and Walter Carmon. When the first shot was fired Mrs. Ellenburg was in the rear end of the house. Her lit tle child was playing in the yard and she cried out : "Don't shoot the children !" . This was answered by two more shots at the house, one of which took effect in the roof. John 1?. EHenburg then walked out on Iiis front piazza and, ad dressing the negroes, said sharply : ? "You had better shoot again." They answered him with two more shots. Then the crowd from the mill village began to gather and march down to the fertilizer factory. There were in the crowd of negroes Jack Moore, Will Cunningham, Tom Jackson and George Clements. Moore was captured and ' carried to jail. Seeing Moore led ott', the negroes immediately seized the idea aud con viction that he was going to be lynch ed, and a courier was sent to the Mount Ziou Colored Baptist Church to give thc alarm and call for assistance. The Rev. J. A. Pinson, the pastor, was ask ed to announce from his pulpit that a negro was being lynched at the Poe; Mill, but Pinson, being cool-headed and a man of judgment, refused. This broke up the meeting, however, and the negroes rushed from the build ing to secure weapons and go to the scene. In the meantime a negro had gone to the home of Sheriff Gilreath and re ported the same thing to him. Chief of Police Kennedy and Deputy Sheriff Gilreath went to the scene about 10 o'clock, as quickly as they could get there after being notified of the trouble. At the Buncombe street railroad cross ing they met Deputy Sheriff Whitmirc and Officer Atkinson. A party of between fifty and seveuty I five negroes were congregated at thc crossing, and a party of about twenty five whites in the woods, a few hundred yards away, guarding the operatives' houses. The officers persuaded this mob of negroes to disperse. While the other officers stayed at the crossing to see that the negroes did not reassemble after promising to go home, Chief Kennedy aud Deputy Sheriff Gilreath crossed over by the fertilizer factory into Highland avenue. Here the officers met a mob of about 100 frenzied negroes well armed. They had revolvers, shotguns and axes, and one in the crowd brandished a reap hook. After a parley Chief Kennedy sent the Kev. Pinson, negro Baptist, preacher, to jail to ascertain if Moore was a prisoner. He returned and re ported that Moore was in jail. This report ended the riotous proceedings. There was considerable firing of guns and pistols, and one white man and five negroes were wounded. lu pass ing through tlie streets of the city it is reported that some shots were fired into dwellings. The only fighting was between a few operatives of the Poe Mill and strag gling crowds of negroes. Later the Greenville Light Infantry was called out and remained on guard until morning, but there was no further trouble and the negroes went to their homes. The names of the leaders are known and all will be arrested. If all the different crowds of negroes had collected atone point the consequences would have been serious. The officers handled the different crowds and pre vented concentration.-Nara (nul ('mi rier. -mm ? m -- - A horse is never sick at the stomach, because that animal is noe provided with a gall-bladder. - Congressman Ketchaui. of New York, has served in 13 congresses, and h??s never made a speech. Three Florida Towns Were Annihi lated. RIVER JUNCTION, FLA., Aug. 4.-The most disastrous cyclone that ever vis ited this section of Florida coinpletely annihilated Carrabelle, McIntyre and Lanark Inn., south of here, Wednes day. At Carrabelle only nine houses re main of a once beautiful and prosper ous town. Communications from the mayor states that 200 families are with out home or shelter, and that many are completely destitute. Of McIntyre only two mill boilers mark the site of the town. Lanark Inn, the famous summer re sort, was blown into the Gulf. The Carrabelle, Tallahassee and Geoigia railroad is washed away for a distance of 30 miles. A passenger train was blown from the track more than one hundred yards. Many passengers were injured, but their names arc unob tainable. Mary Williams, colored, was killed at Corabelle. Numerous others had legs and arms broken. Daniel Neel of Apalachicola had his back broken and is not expected to recover. No fatalities are reported from McIn tyre and Lanark. Ff teen ships lying at anchor in Dog Island cove and upper anchorage are now all high aud dry on St. Georgers and Dog islands. Twelve were loaded with lumber and ready for sea. Noth ing remains of them but a mass of wreckage. When the Italian bark Cor teria struck she split half in two from stem to stern. The names of the ships blown on the islands and which are total wrecks are as follows: Xorwegiau bark Tanavola, Edwartsen, master; Vale, Anderson, master; Jafnar, Tygen sen, master; Hindoo, Madsen, master; Elsbeth, Pedersen, master; Russian bark Latara, Krantman, master; Amer ican schooner Benj: C. Cromwell, Mc clean, master; Mary E. Morse, Dens more, master; Grace Andrews, Brown, master; Warren Adams, Gibbons, mas ter; James A. Garfield. Cottingham, master; bark Vidette, Waldron, mas ter; Italian bark Cortes?a; fishing smack Albert Haley. Three pilot boats and steamers Iola and Capitela and 40 boats under 20 tons were lost. Six lumber lighters, loaded, are gone. Not one of the entire fleet can be saved. Five unidentified bodies were recov ered to-day, supposed to be sailors. Tug boats have gone from here to tho scene of the wreckage. All pos sible aid is being given them. Fifty destitute sailors were brought here to day and are being cared for. A mass meeting of citizens is being held here to-night and all possible aid will be given the Carrabelle destitute. One million dollars will not cover the los?. The insurance is small. Miss Lillian Jewett Takes the Bakers. CHARLESTON, Aug. 1-Lillian Clay ton Jewett the Boston girl who recently created a sensation among the negroes of that city by declaring that she would come to Charleston and take back north with her the family of the late Frazier B. Baker, who was lynched at Lake City, S. - C., in 1897, with a view to beginning an agitation against mob law, has carried out her design. .Miss Jewett arrived here Friday morning accompanied by her mother and a young man named R. G. Larsen, who is a Boston journalist. She had fre quent conferences with the Baker wo man and her friends and as a result she left herc for Boston this afternoon ac companied by the entire Baker family, the mother and five children. Miss Jewett said her plans for the future were not yet formulated, but she proposed to hold mass meetings throughout the north to arouse popular sentiment against lynching and mob law generally. She did not regard her movement as an issue between the races, but was advocating the cause of humanity irrespective of color or con dition. She said she was educated in Virginia and had some knowledge of thc Southern people, and she was well aware that the better elements in the South joined heart and soul with the better clements in the North in de manding a halt in the commission of the outrages that recently have shock ed the world. She said that since her Boston address was made she had re ceived many threatening letters from the South, but to these she paid no heed knowing that they did not come from a source worthy of serious con sideration. Miss Jewett paid for the tickets of thc Baker family from here to Boston, and she also bought a number of small articles of clothing for the wo man and her children. Thc. Kev. ?LL. Dart, a colored minis ter of this city, who ha's recently spent sonn; time in Boston, returned to the city to-day and opposed violently the removal of the Bakers from ( 'liarles, ton. He declares thai .Miss Jewett did not represent the better class of white or colored people in Boston. He says she and those who st;iml with her merely want to get control of the Bakers to make notoriety and money for themselves.-Var. State. Atlauta's Thirsty Mayor. ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 5.-On a vote of seventeen to three the resignation of Mayor James (!. Woodward, of this city, was asked for at a secret caucus of the City Council and board of Alder men held this afternoon. Mayor Woodward was charged with drunkenness several weeks ago, when impeachment proceedings were threat ened. At that time the Mayor prom ised to reform, but it is now charged that he has broken faith with the City Council. According to the resolution the resignation must be in by Monday morning; upon failure it is probable impeachment proceedings will be insti tuted. Afr the caucus it was intimated by Councilman Parks that persons who wanted certain measures passed, to which it. was known Mr. Woodward was opposed, were behind this conduct. A Formidable Army.

A child's disposition may be ruined through existing defects in eye sight, causing abnormal nervous impulses over which they have no control. In school, children are often falsely charged with stupidity or inattention to their books when some defect of the eyes which makes reading painful to them is to blame rather than the child's mental dullness or inattentive disposition, and after Buch delects are properly corrected by properly fitted glasses the child is more attentive and better able to keep pace with the rest of their class, and of ten proves to be the brightest by excell ing all others in their grade. Mark any peculiarities that children may have in looking at objects at a distance or near by. Squinting, frowning, looking side wise with partially closed eyes, or com plain that they cannot see clear, or of headaches, are indications of eye trou bles. What we inherit we are not to blame for. Wo cannot be held responsi ble for the dispositions and tendencies which we derive from our ancestors, nor are we responsible for the germs of dis ease which may manifest themselves in our blood as a heritage from former gen erations. But we are responsible when We allow congenital or hereditary trou bles or defects to go uncorrected in our children when properly adjusted classes will relieve all trouble. If your children manifest any of the above peculiarities it is your parental duty to consult a com petent Optician at once, lest your negli gence or indifference may result in irre parable iniury.

Hence we have secured a larger and more desirable house on Granite Row. Now, we have not for gotten what a job it was four years ago to lug about nine thousand dollars of stuff up here from cur little old place, though the back doors were almost touch ing.
