The Charleston Xeirs and Courier, of the 14th inst., speaks of Anderson's .Mayor as follows: ".Mr. John Iv. Hood, mayor of the thriving city of Anderson. ? is among the visitors in the city. Mr. Hood is one of the old-time 'seceders' from the straigthont Presbyterian (.'hinch, having been born at Due West. Even though he has not lived in thesa crcd precincts of that: holy eily for years, he linds it difficult to give lip t In habits formed in youth of greasing his boots with tallow and singing David's Psalms." .Solicitor Ansel, of this, the Eighth Circuit, embracing Greenville, Abbe ville, Anderson, Oconee and Pickens Counties* forwarded Iiis annual report to the Attorney General last week. The report shows that there were less than half as many murder cases in the Circuit this year as last. Of the twen ty cases this year two were disposed of in Abbeville, eight in Anderson, two in Oconee, three in Pickens and live in Greenville. Fourteen of tho cases re sulted in verdicts of "not guilty,'7 four "guilty," and in two cases "no bills" were returned. There were 42 cases of murder disposed of in the Circuit last year. There were 282 cases, all told, disposed of in the Circuit this year, as against 334 last year. Thc 282 resulted 208 "no bills." 49 "not guilty," and 124 .'guilty." The 334 resulted il!? "no bills," 57 "notguilty," and 178 "guilty." Anderson County loses another old and highly esteemed citizen in the death of Mr. Andrew Hunter, which occurred at his home near Town ville on Tuesday evening, 12th inst., in the 84tu year of his age. A few days preceding his death lie accidentally fell from a chair, in which he attempted to sit down, and hurt one of his legs. This brought on a nervous shock and he gradually weakened away until death came to his relied". The deceased was born and reared near Pickens C. H., and about thirty years ago moved to the place where he died, lie married Miss-.Mary , Simpson, of this County, who preceded him to the grave a few years ago. One son and three daughters survive him. In his young manhood Mr. Hunter joined the Presbyterian Church, and throughout his lifo was a devoted and exemplary member. In every relation of life lie discharged his duties nobly, and has left a name that his descen dants cati ever point with pride to. On the day following his death his remains were laid to rest in the Presbyterian churchyard at Townville, Rev. W. S, Hamiter conducting the funeral servi ces in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends. Recent published accounts of cider seizures in the County are calculated to do much injury to the parties charged with violating the dispensary laws by offering for sale cider alleged to contain alcohol. A case in point is the repeat ed references to Mr. Albert S. Bowie and his clerk, Mr. Joseph Ligon, of Iva. It is unnecessary to say to those who are acquainted with these excellent gentlemen that there is something rad ically wrong in the charge preferred against them, for they are regarded by their more immediate neighbors as gen tlemen of sterling qualities who are too conscientious to violate a law knowing ly, and too careful to be led into it blindly. In conversation with a prom inent gentleman of the Iva section, he stated that the neighbors of Messrs. Bowie and Ligon felt outraged at the scandalous publicity given to the case, and declared that if it were left to a jury of the ministers ana Church-going people of that vicinity, the parties in stigating the case would receive a mer ited rebuke. Mr. Bowie is aprosperous farmer and merchant of Iva, and Mr. Ligon, his clerk, is a son of Rev. R, C. Ligon, of this County, and himself studying to become a Presbyterian minister. Mr. Will R. Hubbard passed away at his residence in this city at 7:30 o'clock last Saturday morning, after a brave light of several months with the dread malady, Bright's disease. He had, however, been confined to his room only a week, and was not considered seriously ill until the evening before his death. While it has been generally known for some time past that he was gradually failing in health, the news of his death came as a shock and a sur prise to his friends, the most intimate of whom were unacquainted with the desperate and changed condition which had so suddenly become manifest. De ceased was thirty-six years of age and was the youngest son of the late K. H. and Jane Hubbard. Hy his magnetic manners and habits of industry he soon drew around him a large anti influen tial circle of friends, whose splendid patronage was bestowed upon him, ev idencing the degree of confidence in which he was held by those who knew iiim best. Again, when he. after re peated solicitations, allowed his name to be used as a candidate foralderman, his friends rallied to his support and gave iiim one of the largest votes ever cast in this city, leading his ticket by a handsome number of votes. During his term of office as Mayor pro tem, ho won many golden opinions for his ju dicial ability and firm, resolute deter mination to uphold the majesty of the law. His voluntary retirement from city politics was universally regretted, as every one recognized his honesty of purpose and force of splendid charac ter, so that there was no office within the people's gift Milich he could not have had for the asking. As a chu reli man he was enthusiastic and liberal and was, up to the time of his first collapse? in health, an active worker in the Sun day School of St. John Methodist Church, (d'which church he was a mem ber. .About, twelve years ago he mar ried Miss Dessie ICeese, who with two iitt?e sons survive him. He was au affectionate husband, a fond and indul gent father, and a true and loyal friend. The funeral exercises were conducted at the home of Hie deceased bv Kev. W. T. Capers and Kev. W. W. Daniel, after which the body was taken in charge by the Knights of Pythias and interred in Silver Brook Cemetery with their beautiful and impressive cere mony. His family have our sincerest sympathy.
