Local News. WEDNESDAY, ATC I, 1U00. Death of Mr. A. I*. Hubbard. Mr. A. I*, linbharil is dead, and in his (loath Anderson loses ?un- oi hoi best citizens. Ile had been in feeble health lor several months, and a lew weeks ago his disease developed inte inflammation ol' bowels, which pros trated liiin on his bed. Since then lu has been gradually growing weaker, and ut times was a great sullen.']', Deni h came last Saturday night and relieved him of his Sufferings. Mr. Hubbard was in thc 50th year ol' his age, and was boi n and reared in Pen dleton. A few years preceding 1 lie war his mother and family moved to this city, and here he has ever since nnnlc his home. When the civil war broke out Mr. Hubbard was among thc first to answer his countiy's call, and went to tho front as a member of the Palmetto Killis. In thc hist battle ol Munassas he was severely wounded and was forced to return home. He would probably have been killed in this same battle but for a small Testa ment w hich he carried in a pocket and which was struck and penetrated by a bullet. In 1804 he niarri ed Miss Mary Wilson, of this city, who survives him. Since that time he has been engaged in merchandising. Mr. Hubbard wa: always happy hearted, and endeavored to make the best of the trials and vicissitudes of life. Ho was a staunch member of the First Baptist ('hinch, and for a number of years faithfully and energetically filled the ofliee of deacon. He was a good citizen, a kind neighbor, and has not lived his allotted number ol'years in vain. Tho funeral services were conducted by his pastor in the first llaptist Church Inst Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. His brother Masons then took charge and inferred his body in the Churchyard with Ma sonic honors. - > - Denver Hems. Prom the number of person going to and fro wc judge "laying by" time has come, and the tired farmers are taking a few days rest. Mrs. W. M. Dai rac ott and family, of Fair Play, have been visiting Mr. J. W. Holbrook and other relatives in this section lately. Mr. Kothrock attended thc District Conference of the M. E. Church nt (?reenville last week, and found it to be a very pleasant meeting. Kev. K. E. Staekhouse and little daughter were the guests ol' Mr. A. E. Browne and family Saturday. Kev. Staekhouse is doing good work on his circuit, both ns a pastor and a preach er. He intends commencing protracted (services nt Sandy Snrings on 1st. Sab bath in AugiiBt. "It is hoped there will be a good attendance and many souls be led to Christ. Mr. Billie Davis, of the Asbury com munity, was stricken by paralysis several days ago, and died on the 28th. Ho was buried at Sandy Springs Sun day afternoon, Kev. M. Burgess, his ??astor, conducting the funeral services. Ie was quite an old man, and leaves a wife and several children and many grandchildren to cherish hiB memory. He was a member of the Methodist Church, and for many years had lived a consistent Christian. Another confed erate veteran has gone to answer to roll call "on tho other shore." Miss Emma Collins, of Conwny.S. C., was the guest of the Misses Mc W hort er for a few days last week. She left Monday for her^ summer hom^ nenr Ilcndersonville, N. C. M?BS Ida Nichols, of Due West, was also a guest ol tho Misses McWhorter last week. She is a channing lady and A popular teacher. Miss Irene Brownlee, of Autreville, .-and Miss Sherard, of Septus, were the guests of Miss Dai9y Major last Friday. Miss Mnttio Kskew ' has returned homo after a week's visit to her sister, Mrs. Hombree, and other relatives in 'he Salem community. Mr. Hamp Jolly and sister. Miss .Cortfe, of Cnrnesville, Cn., visited the family of Mr. John L. Jolly recently. Mr. Kdwin Jolly isa linc gardener anti Hoi ist. lie has treated us to some to rn?tiles thal weighed over one pound each. He has lately discovered among his Howers a green petunia, which is something rare, and will no doubt be j ?n demand by other florists when : known. We arc due many thanks to I him and oilier kind neighbors for lino . apples, peaches and grapes. your esteemed coi respondent of Williamstou linds some objections to . my jest? about the Indies and the enn f-didatcs. It was only a jest, as I dis tinctly said. The lady saw through ibis little "ruse"-the printer made it ''race1'-"?ind knew the candidate, was .only hungry, and wanting his dinner.'* 'Though all the same she liked his pleasant manners and compliments. All no doubt have hen rd the story of tho lady whose throat was swollen so the doctors said sho must die because she could not swallow anything. In her hearing the husband asked, "Have von tried her with a compliment?" The absurdity of the"question amused her so that she laughed convulsively, which broke tho abscess in her throat and she recovered. The husband in sisted that it was tho hint of a compli ment that cured her. There is quite a dilt'cicnce between flattery and com pliments as all know. The intelligent mind rejects flattery as something gross and unrefined, but oven thc sterner sex doesnot hesitate to swallow a delicate compliment and relishes it. Kight here 1 will thank Mr Goodgion for his compliment to the astuteness of thc ladies, whom ho says "cannot easily be deceived in love or politics." I agree with him that if women had the right of auftrage they would not vote for a candidate whose only qualifica tion waB "pleasant manners." But euch manners, I think he will admit, helps greatly to win the votes of the people. A diamond in the rough has thelntrinsic value of the diamond cut aaj Polished, but- wo admire the latte! muefi more. ' Southern women are not clamoring for the right of suffrage like our more energetic sisters of the North, neithei do ?poso as an advocate of it. But 1 ask for the sake of information if wo men have ?ducation andean organize Missionary Societies, Woman's Clubs and other societies and carry them oi intelligently and profitably, why couh they not go under the escort of hus band, son or brother to the poUs am cast their votes for the man who ii .their estimation was most worthy o the office? Would it make them les ?modest than presiding over socio tic and conventions or standing before ; mixed audience and lecturing o: worthy subjects, ns some of our bes and noblest women do?

Fant, of near this place, has returned home Hom Columbus, (ia., where he has been attending a business college. Wc havu't seen a candidate in thc Fork this season. Wonder if they have boycotted the Fork? When* Senator Tillman wants to jump the preachers on prohibition, let nimjump tip. We ate no preacher, but wc can't say we aro not a sou of a preacher, and we don't propose to stand by anti sec the preachers slnn dercd. The preachers inav not all be good men, but they arc the best we have got ami they are thc mainstay of civilization and Christianity. Talk about an unholy alliance. What is more unholy than the sale of whiskey? And thc State is doing that through thc medium of the dispensary and Till man thc daddy of tho dispensary. Wo make a move right herc that wo kill that offspring of Mr. Tillman's, ami that thc places that know it now will know it no more forever. Don't Mr. Tillman aim for thc bar keepers to tiver reform? And w ho are more capa ble of reforming them than thc preachers? .Just as well say do away with the preachers anti not preach to sinners, ir there is no repenting and no reforming. The bar keepers know that tin? Constitution won't permito! any mon? barrooms, and consequently there arti no more barrooms and no moro barkeepers. Dispensary liquor will make you just as drunk as any other liquor, and no Christian wants to see drunkenness. So let us down with it.

I .a.-l Sat imlay wo. hud tho pleasure ol' visiting the lam i ly ot Mr. I*. I'. King, at the County IIou.se for thc Poor. Mr. King i> a hind and accommodating gentleman and makes a .Steward that every person in Anderson Cuiltity should be proud of. We accepted an invitation from him tu take a stroll over his crop, ami truly it is a marvel of beauty. Here we lound seventy live acres of corn, lil ly acres of which are very line, ami we were informed by Mr. Kiti^r thal it is the best crop he has ever raised there. We think we are sale in saying that this Ufty acres will average H ears to the stalk. He also has twenty-live acres ot very line young corn. Ho raises very little cot ton, but what he has is very good aver age cotton. His crop ol' forage ol' about twenty acres is also very line. Mi. King had threshed from twenty live, acres ot wheat aoS bushels, lie also raised a large crop of oats, but wc did not learn how much. In tin; houses where the inmates are. taken care of we lind everything nicely and neatly kept. At present there are 44 inmates there, and out of this number we found only two sick. Only nine deaths have oc curred at the Home during the year. They are all well clothed, well fed, and treated kiudly. Ono of tho most enjoyable occasions we have ever had the pleasure of at tending was the all-day singing last third Sunday ut Salem. Long lief ore the hour for tho exercises to begin peo ple began to arrive, so when thc nour for opening nrived fully three hundred people were on the grounds, and they kept coming until 1 o'clock, when the crowd numbered something like OOO or OOO persons. The leaders did them selves justice during both exercise nnd at thc dinner hour. Tho clnss was made up of the best singers around Salem and surrounding Churches, and as thc strains of such grand old tunes as, "How linn a foundation, ye saints of the Lord," cte, and "When I can read my titles clear*' tloated out upon thc cnlni summer breeze and seemed to echo and reverberate over bill and dale, tinnily dying away in the dis tance, thc following words of a grand old poem came into our mind: "They shook the depths of the desert drear. With their hymns of lofty cheer." The leaders for the occasion were Trot's. Harbin, Lcnderman, Harnett, Hale, McClain and Hill. "Yes, wc all hope to meet again." We arc of thc opinion that tho most honorable way for a mau to become an ollie?* holder is for him to go before the people in a primary election, and if he pleases a majority of the voters he will most "ssnreuly become their nominee. Wc t.dnk sonic arrangements should bo made for the election of Magistrates at the coining primary. There is no fairness in thc way they have gotten thc oiticc heretofore, and wc think it time to make a change. In thc past all that was necessary to entitle a'mau to tho oftice of Magistrate was for a few of a man's friends to write out a peti tion and attach their names thereto and forward it to the Governor and he would make the appointment. In every instance such proceedings as this does not represent an entire Township. Let's have an election this year nnd see if it won't be better. Thc farmers are now about done lay ing by. Hurrah for Bryan, Stevenson, Hoyt & Co. With these men ns lenders, both National and State, it ?B hoped we will land safely into the desired naven. Mr. K. C. Pressly has purchased a top buggy.
