Wheat threshing is over; the fourth of July will be here by the time this is type-written; laying-by-time is almost here, and "Gen. Creen" is inarching triumphantly on to seed head. Hut, by the time "Green" has secured himself in tho fortifications of seed head, "Gen. White," of tile Northern forces, will have arrived, and wo are pretty sure that "Green'' cannot turn "White's" Northern laurels to Southern willows. The Pendleton Manufacturing Co. lost about twenty feet of their dam by the freshets. The mill suspended ac tion n day or two while tho dam was being rebuilt. Everything is humming on nicely again. Wo were glad to welcome another i tem i te last week. This one is from Mt. Zion. Mt. Zion is near our city, and wo suspect that "De-Soto's" news and ours will over-lap occasionally, but that is only better, as the testimony of two witnesses generally carries evi dence of truth. We would be glad if eye ry hamlet in this county could bo represented. Wo peruse, with scrutin izing interest, all tue items and news . each week. Some cotton has "ot been thinned yet, and we believe i would be au act of kindness not to separate it from its ^closely tied companions. Kev. lt. E. Stackhouse made an in teresting sermon at Sandy Springs last Suudny on education, lie snowed, in an impressive manner, the sin and deg radation of allowing the Godgiven talents of the young to lie uncultured. ?"Some people," he said, "are bringing up their children uneducated because they *are not able to send them to school in reca? splendor. But, oh, if the man in the parable of the talents was judged wicked and cast into ever lasting darkness because he neglected to use his one talent, how then, shall Wo be .judged who neglect to educate *uid bring out the talents ot' our chil dren's minds?" Let education be stamped on the brow of every being. It is this that raises man above the ibm tish nature, lt is this that enables ?-tis to see and appreciate the beauty nnd law of nature. Education removes those dark clouds of superstition and -extends thc mental faculties to a degree so requisite to rendering acceptable petitions and thanks to the Supreme. There is none too poor to bo educated, and none so poor that they i innot get. n liberal education. The ric'? will not miss an education, aud, if a poor man misses an education, what else is there in life worth living for? Do not keep 3'our children from school because you ?? not soc how you would do without them. Let them go to school even if a piece of corn bread must sufiico for lunch. And you, boys, do not turn away from books satisfied with the lit tle von know. You mny have a hard time, but do not givo out. Study some evevv dav. and put in good time on Sunday. " We do not think it is any hann to st adv on Sunday, because you ave only increasing the talents which yon are to carry into eternity. And, above nil, resolve to stand up with nt least two talents from one, even if vou do have to make them on Sunday. This writer is a boy, and he loves^to associate with boys" who like to study. Two of our young men have found the Pole Star over in the Lebanon com munity. Look out! these young men will just about migrate ere long. Ho? AMATKUR.

As we .seldom see anything in your columns, Mr. Editor, from this place, we will try to give you a few dots. The health of our people is very good with the exception ot Mr. A. H. Mitchell, who has chills and fever. Mr. .J. K, ('arvin, our Township Su Iiervisor, is doing all in his power to seep our roads in good condition, despite the had weather. Mr. I.ce Owen has had his sorghum u "ll worked over and it is now in lirst class condition, lie proposes to put it up at his gin so as to run it by steam. Crops are looking very well consid ering the chance they have had. Bot tom corn was badly injured by the recent ovcrllows. As yet our people are showing very little interest in politics. No candi dates have boen among us, and it seems as if they were not going to come. We people all make it a nile to not vote for any man who thinks himself too good to visit us. Mr. Editor, it is not our intention to boom any candidate, but we wish to suggest tue names of two of Anderson County's most upright citizens ns can didates for the Legislature, ('apt. George Rankin and Mr. W. H. Lee. If these two men could be induced to make the race we do not think Hint there is any doubt but that they would be elected. Wheat was greatly damaged by the recent wot weather. It seems that tho wild varment that has boon creating so much excitement in the Septus community is afraid to crossover on this side of Three-nod Twenty. It is reported that one of the Septus braves was recently out with his gun hunting this wild animal, and after hunting for some time without succeeding in finding his game he perched himself on the ton rail of a fence to rest. While in this posture tho animal came up in the rear of our friend and he, turning his head and seeing it so near him. proceeded to throw his double-barrel at it and went through tho bushes nt a pace which would have made an Apachee ashamed. Owing to the disagreeable weather the crowd was small at Willis' Chapel last Sunday. Nevertheless Prof. Halo did some Very good singing. Blackberries are beginning to ripen and the darky is happy. Enough has been said about the liquor question, so we will not attempt to write you an article on prohibition and dispensary that would fill two or throe columns of the INTELLIGENCER. We suppose that the candidates for the Legislature will disctus this question to the full satisfaction of all during the coming campaign. Our merchants, Messrs. W. H. Martin and J. P. Timms, are doing a very good business. There is no section in Auderson County where a PostoHice is needed worse than in this community. It is four milos to the nearest office. We think some one ought to take the mat ter in hand and try to have one estab lished. Mr. Edward Whitten lins finished his work of cousus taking. News is scarce at present, but we will try to do better next time. Pl.RNOJURE. The Piedmont Association.

To-day i H clear, i;0 rain has lallen here in tin last lorry-eight hours, and the farmer.-? are utilizing every hour and pushing all woik with energy to try,if possible, to get the crops clean in time to make a little. Cotton is backward and badly in the grass. If conditions arc favora ble from now on, perhaps two-thirds ot a cotton crop can be made. In many place- the i ori) on bottom lands has lie? n drowned out or washed away, lt is too late now to replant, so the corn clop will bc short, also the wheat and oat crops, though making good yield-, have been damaged considerably by the continued wei weather. ? ?ne ol ou i best colored farmers made ovei 100 bushels of wheat, but call neither sell it nor gel il ground because ol' its damaged condition, which i quite a misfortune for them, as they are need ing it for bread. .Messrs. Smith, ol Columbia) and i?tiy Daniels, ol Newberry, are spending sometime with relatives near here. Miss Hattie McWhorter has returned from a plea-ant visit to her sister. Mrs. Sam.

Miss ninnette Browne does not im prove. She is threatened with malarial fever. . Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Kskew wor shipped at Welcome Sunday and were afterwards the guests of Mr. W. I). Garrison's family. The Misses Major visited their uncle, Mr. Sam Major, near Anderson, Satur day. The Misses McWhorter attended the party at Portman Saturday night. Those who were so fortunate as to attend the anniversary picnic of Win. Holt at Portman Saturday report the day as passing off pleasantly with an abundance of everything good to eat. Some who were unable to go were re membered with large samples of eight dill'erent kinds of elegaut cake, for which thanks are hereby tendered. iNCOfiMTA. Lebanon Items. The sun is shining brightly to-day. Tho farmers wilW have to work dili gently if they are ready to lay-by their crops by the first of August. Of course, the yield will not be as great as might have been had we had suflicient time to keep the grass down, but we are hopefuLand think of that passage of scripture, "all things worketh together for good for them that loveth the Lord." Wheat and oats aro greatly damaged. We heard one of our threslieruicn say that he threshed over one thousand bushels of wheat last week that was almost if not entirely ruined. Kev. J. T. Singleton pren' bed nu in teresting and impiessive sormon to n large and appreciative audience last Sunday. After service, as was previ ously announced, the congregation wns called in conference to decide whether we would build a new Church or not. It was decided to postpone for awhile on account of the gloomy crop pros pects. Home were very much disap pointed, but hope it will not bo a great while until wo cnn see our way clear to remodel the present building or build n new one. Kev. W. P. Holland and family, who have been visiting friends and relatives here will move to their home in Green ville this week. Mr. and Mrs. Holland have many friends in this community who are always glad to see them. We hope they will soon be restored to good health, so they can return to their chosen work.
