painful accident ycst?rday morning at
tho residence of his son-in-law, Dr. \V.
M Norwood, Birnlo street. He was
walking around in nn old stable, the
lloor lioing Covered with straw. Some
of tho planlos on tho stable lloor wero
broken and] had wide cracks which
wero hldddnby the straw. In turning
around to loayo tho stable Major
Vance's foot went into ono of the
cracks, in tho lloor, causing him to fall
on his right \ arm. breaking the large
bono at the] wrist. Dr. Simpson was
called In and sot the bone and the pa

siderably.
About seven years ago, Major Vance
had the misfortune to break tlio same
arm near tho shoulder. ? Groonvillc

The vory many warm frionds of Maj.
Vanco sympathize with him nnd hopo
for his rapid rooovory.
Harris Litliln.
Wo note with groat satisfaction tho
fact that tho Harris Lithia has had a
splendid patronage during tho season,
and is fast commanding the patronage
that its famous health-giving waters
deserve, it is a delightful plaoo for re
Eoso and rest and those seeking ro
uilding up. Laurons especially should
appreciate this fountain of health at
her very doors.
Save Your Fruit.
Nothing adds so much to the pleas
ure of tho housekeeper as to have a
dairy full of dainties. Nothing is so
delightful as fruit In abundance. Tho
canning factory is doing its best to ac
commodate our citizen in town and
country. Tho work is done promptly
and noatly. Seo Mr. Pyles who is ex

fruit and vegetables. You will savo

Thoro is nothing to hinder your horse
from trotting or running on it now
except training and thoro need be no
oxcuso for that for wo havo horo our

linest trainers in the South. Tho truth
is ho can almost make a horso and is
what is gonorally tormod a horso doc

Don't think that because you do not
livo near Gray Court that you havo no
lot in this matter but wo want ovory

enough in tho adjoining counties to

Don't forget to bring out your poul

This is a year that I think wo ought to

who can will pay special attontion to

CROSS HILL NOTES.
We have been to the mountains nnd
have Eisen their blue tops piercing the
clouds; we have breathed tho pure air
from oil' their BUmiults, but wo didn't
find any "mountain dew." Perhaps
that was because we did not look for it.
Wo were in tho beautiful oily of Wal
halla, with its broad and shaded streets,
and wero particularly impressed with
the location of tho court bouse in im
mediate proximity to tho graveyard.
As wo stood and looked from the court
house over the graveyard and the grand
mountain view beyond, with nothing to
obstruct the view, it seemed as though
we might have reached tho limits of the
world. We*wore told that there was
some mo'ro world over there, but pro
fessed that wo had no desire at that
moment of going through tho graveyard
to roach it. Wo had the pleasure of
me ding tho genial editor of the Keoweo
Courier, an^weYe cordially and hospi
tably entertained by the family of < x
Jndgo Norton. The judge's amiablo
and accomplished wife is a native of
Cross Hill, being tho daughter of thy Jabs

Wo'wOlO alsi at the live, and bustling
town of Sanaoi, which ia located at the
cro8Singof the l?!ue Ridge and Southern
Railway-. The town is notsd for its
healthy location and la the depot for
some'large factories and mills. We
feel indebted to some of the good citi
zens for favor.", and will over remember
their kindness.
Our principle object in visiting Sennca
wa3 to visit our brother, l'rof. L. S.
MeSwaln, who has been critically ill,
but WO trust, is now better.
We made a flying visit to Clemson
Culioge, eight milos from Senaea, and
can only say in regard to it, "that tho
half has not been told US.*' This insti
tution, with its magnificent equipment
cf material, hulldinga and professors,
should be, and wo trust will be, of in
calculable value to tho people of the
State.
In tho course of our trip we carefully
inquired as to tho crops and find that
the corn crop is very promising, and a
good corn crop meano a good meat crop.
It is thought tho cotton crop will bo
ahmt an average one. 'Copious rains
have fallen all over tho country, which
will bo of great bonolit to all crops.
William liryson was buried in tho
cemetery at tho Presbyterian Church
on the 18th inst. Ho was ono of our
most worthy and reputable citizens and

usual limit, for ho had reached tho age
of about 85 yoars. Ho has gone to reap

Their Impious Hands.
The liquor constables of Columbia
last Saturday laid their impious hands
on the sacred whiskey of tho Columbia
OlUb. They went in ttnd took posses
sion of tho ohoieo beycrago stored in
the aristocratic club room just tho same,
as if it had been plain plobian blind ti
iror tangle foot.
Such outrages as thoso cannot long
be ondurcd. Tho idea of tho Reform
ers passing a liquor lftw by which re
spectacle city people must bo governed
Is preposterous and far out of all rea
son.'
Tho respectable city people from tho
first have given public, notico that they
do not Intend to oboy' tho whiskoy law,
and wo aro surprised that Governor
F.vans has not heeded tho notlee.
Governor Rvans ought before the sit
ting of tho next Legislature tosond a
delegation to confer with aristocratic
outlaws and ascertain what laws .they
will oboy, and thon rocommend tho
passngo of tho same by tho noxt Legis
lature.
Tho idea of tho Roformurs trying to
enact a law by which tho whole peo
ple must bo governed is not to bo on
tortained.
Charleston has so long ruled tho
Stato, that now tho illicit bar-kecpors
havo coino to think that thoy aro bot
t r than country gontlomon who may
be olected to the Loglslaturo. A Char
leston bar keopor no doubt turns up
his noso a? that varloty of statesman
Itnown as the '"Fhroe-for-a-Quartor
Statesman." That expression no doubt
rollcets tho sentiments of the people of
Charleston in their ostimate of tho
worth and charaotorof gontlemoi. who
llvo outside tho city.
But tho groat body of tho people of
tho Stato scorn to bo impressed with
tho idoa that thoy should rule, and wo
would not bo surprised If thoy oxhlblt
a disposition to requlro city peoplo to
obey tho law just as tho dcoont coun
