DuPre, of Clemson College, which occurred last Friday morning after a short ill , ness with that dreaaf ul disease, appen dicitis, the College loses one of the most popular and accomplished gentle men ever connected with that institu tion. C?pr. DuPreewas in charge of the horticultural department for sever al years, and his work in this line will be a lasting- memory to his name. He ' was in his 69 th year and was born in Pendleton, but the greater portion of his life was spent in Abbeville County, where he filled, a number of offices of v honor and trust, being Sheriff o| that County for many years. He was a de voted and consistent member of the Methodist Church, and a Knight Tem plar Mason. In 1856 he married Miss Mary Hnckaboe? of Lowndesville, and she with five sons and one daughter survivehim. He was a brother ofMrs. R. E. Kennedy, of this city. The re mains were carried to Abbeville and interred. Some Interesting Figures. Mr. G. X. C. Boleman, Anderson County's efficient Auditor, has finished writing np his books for the current :. tax year, and has fon, arded his dupli cate to the Comptroller General, from which he has kindly furnished ns the , following statement, which we know will be read with interest by every tax payer in the Comity : Nb. of acre? iii County..... 470,503 Na. lots in Incorporated towns... 1,096 No. of buildings in County.-.. 9,036 No. Of polls. 7,680 No. of hones. 2,384 No. ot mules.~. 5,057 No. of cattle. . 9,543 No. of sheep.. 428 . No. of hogs...."..: 5,248 No. of dogs.. 2,456 Assessed value real estate..$4,005,844 Assessed value personal prop erty. 3,254^56 Total.$7^60,100 Approximately the additional taken in the fall will be some $240,000, mak ing the total assessed value in the County aboar $7,500,000. This is a ?light increase over the preceding year. At a levy of IS milis, for all purposes, this will approximate a tax of about $110,000, which includes the commuta tion tax. There are $66,505 insurance premiums paid in the County, which will realize a tax of $764. from the larious Compan ies. The assessed value of the banking capital is $291,137. There aro in the County about 71 miles of railroad, which are assessed at $551,750. The assessed value of cotton mills is $1,458,645, from which a tax of $18, 962.38 is realized This will be greatly increased in another year. In the number of polls only, able bodied men, under 50 years of age, are included. Oar assessments, in both real and personal property, are very reasonable, and we tnir.k the above figures make a fine showing for Anderson, the ba nner ?County of South Carolina. Resolutions of Respect. At the last meeting of Ruff Lodge, No. 240, A. F. M., the following resolu tions were adopted : Whereas,.1 Almighty God has seen fit to call from us our brother Mason and District Deputy Grand Master, Capt. Thos. F. Hm. Be it resolved, 1st Thatin Capt. Hill's death Mason ry has lost an earnest advocate and friend, who always held the teachings of the Craft uppermost in his mind. 2d. That while we bow submissively to the rulings of Divine Providence, still we deplore the loss of so good a man, the example and influence of whose life will be felt as long as Masonry is esteemed and practiced in our county and district. > 3d. That these resolutions be spread upon our minutes, and a copy be sent to tho f amil v of the deceased, also a copy be furnished each of the county papers for publication. Fraternally submitted, ROBERT E. LIGOX, DAVID R. MORROW, CHAS. G. FOSTER, Aug. 15,1899. Committee. Special Round Trip Rates to Phila delphia.

Cray ton, Anderson, S.C. 1 Holland's Store, Items. Last week, Messrs. Editors, some one calling himself "Farmer" took us to task for what we said, or, rather, for what we should have said, about the campnieeting at Sinai. We never have felt it our duty to attend such places, and, of course, our information, was gathered from outside sources. We learned that several confection stands were run on the grounds all the time, but was not informed who conducted them. If "Farmer' is aware that one of them was run by one of our Repre sentatives and beer was sold, it is cer tainly his duty to specify, call names and bring the matter before the proper authorities and have him punished. We have no desire to cover sin in any form whatever, and condemn it as quick in a Representative as any one, and we will guarantee that if you will let the people know who the fellow is, with sufficient proof, he will never represent Anderson County again in the Legislature. Now, Mr. "Farmer,'1 as it seems that you were present and saw the beer stand, together with thc ungodly "jinnie,*' come out and call names, and we will promise you that in the future we will not vote for this Representative, if we did in the past. We have had rain, but it came too late to benefit cotton materially. We are feeling blue over the gloomy pros pect, but such is life. Our farmers should not fail to sow wheat and oats early and largely. The fertility of the soil has been virtually locked up this year, the manure is not exhausted, which will tell on a small grain crop with gratifying results. Fodder pulling, cotton picking and fixing turnip patches is the order. During the rains last week lightning struck a tree near a tenant house on Mr. W. H. Wright's farm. 11 ran down the tree following the roots under the stove room, tore up the floor, overturn ed the stove and dining table, breaking all the dishes and considerably damag ing the house and killed a dog that was lying under the house. The family were stunned, but no one was hurt. A large amount of timber of all ages and sizes has died during the past month, we suppose the extreme neat being the cause. Old people say that it presages a great deal of sickness, i Dr. J. W. Earle tecently spent seve ! ral days in Hart aud Elbert Counties, GA., with relatives and friends. Miss Geneieve Simpson, of Ander son, is spending some days with rela tives in this neghborhood. Mr. Will B. Crow, who moved from this section several years ago, called on his uncle, A. F. Shearer, a few days last week. He speaks of moving back to Anderson County., He says he lives at present near Gainsv?le, Ga. Our schools will close this week. The health of our community is fair at present. Muscadines are getting ripe and the crop is a large one. BURKE. Denver Items. The backbone of the heated term seems to be broken, and we are having some real cool weather since the re freshing rains have fallen. The rains came too late to save the corn and cot ton, of which not more than two-thirds I of a crop can be made in this section. This is the driest, hottest Summer we have had in fifty years, so. we are told by our oldest and most ' observant peo ?ie. Many trees in the forests have ied from the intense heat and lack of moisture. Our sick are all better. - Miss Minnie Blackman is improving, and Miss Em ma Majors has recovered sufficiently to return to her home at Pickens, S. C. One of Mr. J. Reid Garrison's little twin daughters has been quite sick, but is better now. Mr. Cray ton Reid, of Walhalla, has been visiting relatives in our commun ity. His friends are sorry to know that he is in feeble health. Mrs. Kate Greer, of Williamston, has been visiting her sister, Mrs. T. A. Webb. Mr. Webb had the misfortune to lose a fine milk cow a few days ago. It is thought the cow died from eating a quantity of green sorghum cane. Onr farmers are anxious to know if eating the cane in this condition will kill stock. A great many raise it for for age, but are afraid to use it before it is cut and cured. Can some one give the desired information? The Harpcr-Tolly-Burriss crowd, in cluding Miss Blanche Browne, have re turned, delighted with their trip to the mountains. They brought back with them a live rattlesnake, which they have placed on exhibition in Anderson at Clayton's Drug Store. To one who never saw one of these venomous rep tiles it will be quite a show. Mr. John C. C. Miller, oi Georgia, and sister, Mrs. S. E. Paxton, of Texas, have been visiting Mr. A. E. Browne's family. Mrs! Paxton went on to North Carolina to visit other relatives. Mrs. E. E. Williamson and children, of Union, S. C., are visiting relatives in and around Denver. She was raised in this County, and her many friends are glad to see her again, after an ab sence of several years. Mr. Bob Simpson, of Piedmont, is vis iting the family of his uncle, Mr. T. R. Simpson. Miss Pearl Long and Miss Ada Pruitt, two of Starr's loveliest girls, are guests of Miss Mattie Eskew. The young people were given a lawn party on the 18th at the residence of Mr. W. A. G. McWhorter. It was an ideal moonlight night, and the large crowd present pronounced it a most de ?ghtful occasion. Those invited who could not attend felt like they had missed a good deal. Hon. J. Waddie Bowden left Monday for his post of duty at Washington, af ter enjoying a pleasant vacation of c wo months. Mr. Joe Bowden is still in California seeing af ter his fruit farm. He writes that he has an abundant crop, especial ly of peaches. No doubt they will bring remunerative prices, as they are so scarce everywhere else this year. The Reunion of Orr's Regiment was largely attended on the 16th at Sandy Springs. There is a sad pleasure in at tending these reunions, as year after ?rear the number of old soldiers grows ess; year after year the number who answer to roll call over yonder grows larger. In a few years all will have joined the "bivouac of the dead." The world will never know again ho better, braver men than those who fought for the "Lost Cause." INCOGNITO. Flat Rock Items. Rev. G. M. Rogers closed a very in teresting meeting at this place on Fri day night, the 18th inst. Baptizing will take place on the second Sunday in September. Misses Belle Beck and Annie Archer, two of Anderson's most charming young ladies, have been visiting friends in this section recently. Come again, we are always glad to welcome you. The class of Prof. J. T. Milford, of this place, was very well represented at Salem last Friday and Friday night, the number being about twenty-five. We are very sorry the Professor was not with us. The crowd that stayed for the concert enjoyed it exceedingly. The.picnic at Price's Mill was repre sented by one only from this place. We think he had a gay old time, from the report he brings back. Messrs. W H. and N. J. Newell visit ed city on Sunday afternoon, and it was early Monday morning when they reached home. We think they will not como back so soon the next time. Messrs. Griffin, of Belton, spent the greater part of Sunday on this side. We hope they will come again soon. Prof. McLees, one of the well-known singers of this county, lead some ex cellent music at this place last Sunday. We hope he will not make his visits so long apart next time. The health of the community is very good at present, with the exception of Mrs. John Howard, who is threatened with fever. Mrs. Hayes, who has been sick for the past six months, is now convales cing, and we hope to sec her out before long. It is quite a busy time with the Col lege boys of our community. They are preparing to return to their old place in the school-room. Our best wishes to the ever old relia ble INTELLIGENCER and its readers. Cow BOY. Belton Items In last week's "Items" you made nie say that J. S. Cox was a member of the drug firm ot* Cox Sc Co. It should have been J. T. Cox. You made me say, also, that Miss Henderson, of Green ville, would be the primary teacher in the high school here. It should have been Miss Hudson. Good rains have fallen here Sunday and Monda}-, but came too late to do cotton much good. Hon. T: Y. Wil liams, of Lancaster, is visiting at Mrs. Corrie Poore's. Mr. J. D. Campbell has just return ed from Chicago, where he has been in attendance upon the National Stenog raphers' Association. Mr. Campbell en joys the honor of being the Secretary and Treasurer of the Association. Miss Pearl McGee, of Starr, has been visiting the Misses Horton the past week. Mr. Z. S. McKinney, of Trion, Ga., visited'his daughter, Mrs. W. B. West, Saturday and Sunday. Mr. John McCuen, of Princeton, Laurens County, entered upon his du ties of salesman for W. K. Stringer Monday. Mr. McCuen is a young man of many noble traits of character, and enjoys the confidence of all who know him. XXXX. Special Rates.

Builders' Hardware at the lowest pri ces at Brock Brothers Hardware Store. What improvements distinguish the "Champion Mowers" sold by Sullivan Hardware Co?
