Smith's excursion to Charles- I ton last Tuesday was a big success.

Mr. Capers is a son of Right-Rev. Ellison Capers, Bishop of South Carolina. The Orangeburg Times and Democrat, of the 1st inst, says: On last Saturday evening the Rev. J.

MoLees by mistake gave his little girl a dose of ammonia in place of a dose of medioine that be intended to give her for a cough. Tbe mouth and I throat of tbe little girl were badly scalded, i and she is now suffering Intensely from the effects -of the ammonia, but It 1b hoped and believed that in a few days the little sufferer will be all right. Such accidents are very distressing, but we are glad that it is no more serious in this case than it is." Mr. MoLees has many friends and relatives in Anderson who will regret to learu of I this accident. The Westminister correspondent of tbe Oconee News says As we announced last week, several were prepared to join Mr.

Smith here on his excursion to At? lanta, accordingly they arrayed themselves In their best apparel, betook themselves to the depot, and in their imaginations each could see himself walking along Whitehall or Peach tree. In a few moments tbe train appeared around the curve, and each heart throbbed with pleasure feeling sure now of a trip to Atlanta, but lo, the red sign (signal to stop) was suddenly lowered and on by rushed the train at about 60 miles per hour. Yon can imagine tbe rest." The Clemson College hotel has been opened by Mr. Hester, of Calhoun. The hotel, which is beautifully located on the brow of a hill 800 feet above the sea level, overlooks the college oampus.

It is lighted throughout by electricity, fully equipped with water works and all modern improve? ments; just to the lear of the hotel a well has been sunk, from which better water can be obtained than for mileB around. The rooms are large and commodious, well furnished, and are as comfortable as any hotel in the up country. Broad walks encircle tbe building from whioh may be obtained excellent views of tbe Blue Ridge mountains and the surrounding country. Last Monday, at 4 p. John Magaha, Jasper Magaha and Ed.

Water? man. The three physicians will go on to Baltimore to attend the American Medical Association, and Beveral others will extend their trip to New York. A 17-year old daughter of Mr. John Bratcher met a most horrible death at her home in the Due West section tbe latter part of last week. The young lady, with a woman living on tbe plantation, were in the bottom lands, near a creek, cutting down com stalkB and burning them.

While thus engaged the girl's clothing caught firo and were burning rapidly. The woman ran to her assistance, and after doing all in her power to subdue tbe flames, carried tbe girl to tbe creek and immersed ber in tbe water. This put out the flames, but tbe girl continued scream? ing and crying and saying ehe was paiu. The woman then carried tue girl borne, and in taking the wet and burned clothing from her person it was discovered that a large hole was bnrned in her side. A phvsician was called in and everything possible was done to alleviate tbe pain of the poor girl, but she ouly lived five hours.

The Atlanta Journal, of last Saturday, pays the following compliment to a young lady who is well known In Anderson, and who is a grand daughter of Mrs. McSmitb, of this city: Miss Daisy Badger, of Macon, has been spending a few days in Atlanta, and will probably return to tbe city a few weeks later to give a recital here. Miss Badger is an accomplished and artis? tic elocutionist. She bai been studying in New York all the winter with Emma Dunning Banks and Anna Randall-Deihl, two of the most distinguished teachers in tbe metropolis, who recommend her high? ly. Personally she is charming and ex? tremely Djetty, two very agreeable expon? ents for iior art.

Miss repertory includes some of tbe choicest selections of the day, and to merely see her is to im I mediately have a desire to hear her. The date for her recital has not yet been fixed, I but her appearance will undoubtedly be attended with sacoess." Despite the bad weather, the Opera House was crowded last Wednosdiy night to witness that interesting little comedy, "Gipsey Girl," which was written by Elma O.sborne, one of Anderson's accom? plished young ladies. Tbe ca3t that sup? ported Miss Osborne in her role, the Gyp sey girl, were well selected for their re? spective characters. Miss Osborne as the Gypsey girl, Miss Sudie Smith as Granny of the Gypsey camp, and Mr. Julian Fant as the old negro washerwoman, were ex? ceedingly well rendered.

The other char? acters were represented by Misses Leila Russell, Ditmer Gilmer and Lieze Sbarpe, and Messrs. W. W. Sullivan, R. Mo-.

Cully, Joe Miller, J. BT. vonHasseln, R.M. Baker, W. S.

Lec, T. Joe Bell and Master Eogene Nardin. There were seve? ral novel specialties introduced between the acts, which were highly enjoyed. The audience showed their appreciation of the entertainment by frequent applause. The play was repeated on Friday night before another good audience.

Memorial Day. Memarial be fittingly observed in Anderson, and every person in this section, in whose breast there reposes a spark of patriotism or affection for the heroes who fell on the battlefields more than 30 years ago in de? fence of principles, should take part in the exercises of the day. The old soldiers of the County are especially invited to attend. Miss Hnbbard, the energetic President of tbe Ladies' Memorial Association, has handed us the following program of the exercises of the day: Exercises in the Opera House in tbe morning from 11 to 12:30 o'clock. This will include all the old Confederate songs, appropriate recitations, building a floral monument by tbe daughters of Confed? erate soldiers, Bonnie Blue Flag illustrated, an address by Gen.

M. L. Bonham and Bhort talks by others. Tbe following gen? tlemen are requested to act as UBbers: Messrs. J.

D. Maxwell, T. F. Hill. S.

D. Brownlee, B. T. Craig, F. Murphy and W.

H. Frlerson. All tbe old soldiers are asked to call at Will R. Hubbard's Btore in tbe morning, where a committee of ladies will present tbem with badges to be worn in honor of the day. The ushers are reqnetited to reserve one section in the Opera House for these survivors.

At 1 o'clock the ladies of the city will serve a dinner for the benefit of the mem? orial fund. An interesting feature of this will be a Confederate Corner," where may be seen numerous relics of the Lost Cause," and a Confederate lunch will be ready for any one who has never enjoyed "Rye Coffee" and "Confederate Fruit Cake." We hope for a liberal patronage. In tbe afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, all the white sohools of the city will assemble at tbe Opera House, and at 5 o'clock proceed to tbe cemeteries as follows: First, to the Presbyterian, next, the Catholic, then to the Baptist, after which as many as have conveyances will go to Silver Brook. The following ladies are requested to be at the Presbyterian cemetery In the after? noon to assist the children: Mrs. Todd, Mrs.

Prevost, Mrs. Murrah, Mrs. Town send. Also tbe following gentlemen: Messrs. J.

F. Clinkscales, R. R. Todd and D. H.

Russell. Tbe following are asked to assist at the Baptist cemetery: Mrs. Bellotte, Mrs. Mrs. B.

F. Wilson, Mre. Van Wyok; Messrs. J. B.

Lewis, W. A. Fant and A. P. Hubbard.

Lenoba Hubeakd, President Memorial Association. Happenings in and Around Piedmont. Corn and cotton that was planted be? fore the recent rains has "come up" a good stand, and the up a good titand, too. There are a very few farmers, if any, in this section that are done planting; in fact, some are not more than half through planting yet. Small grain crops are im? proving, out if there Is anything like an average crop made there will have to be a considerable outcome In them.

Mr. Charley Smith, inventor and paten? tee of a computing scale for weighing groceries, drugs, confectioneries, will leave to-morrow for St. Johnsbury, to confer with tbe Fairbanks and Howe Scale Companies in regard to sell? ing his patent. There are two beams to the scale, one with the price of any arti? cle from 3 cento to 42 cents and fractions of a cent, tbe other beam begins at one and runs to two hundred. If a person wauts ten oenta worth of any artiole which is worth 36 cents a pound, set the weight on the price beam at 35 and the weight on the cash beam at 10, and put in the scoop enongh of the artiole to balance the weight and you have the required amount.

So you eee? with this scale you can accurately weigh any amonnt of any? thing up to two dollars worth of any article worth from 3 to 42 cents a pound, a great deal better than on the common grocer's scale. It would be almost im? possible to weigh exactly ten cents worth of candy or anything else worth thirty five cents a pound on a common grocer's scale, for you see by counting it you would get 4 4-7 oz, which a common gro? cer's scale will not weigh, and conse? quently you would only get a quarter of a pound, as he would not be able to weigh the fractional part of an ounce required to make the exact amount, and could not afford to give the five ounces, and so on. We hope Mr. Smith will be successful with his invention and realize a hand? some fortune from it. The health of our community is very good; in fact, we hear of but very little sickness except perhaps a few old chronic cases.

Mr. Jacob Martin is suffering with cancer on the face. We hope he will be able to get ont soon again. -There is considerable preaching going on at Piedmont now. Rev.

Mr. Marsh, assisted by Rev. Mr. Sublet, of Sumter, S. have a protracted meeting at the Piedmont Baptist Church.

Rev. S. J. Cowan has his tent up in the suburbs of the town and ia conducting a revival meeting at'intervals, and Rev. Mr.

John? son has his tent pitched near King street in Piedmont, and has began to preach the doctrine of the Seventh Day Adventists. I see an article in the Atlanta Constitu? tion headed, "Figures do not lie." And goes on to give the difference in the assessed value of property in the several States In 1893 and 1894. Now, I want to give tbe readers of the Intelligencer a problem to solve, and we will see whether figures do lie or not Perhaps our School Commissioner can give us some light on Is good iu grammar, and is always very kind and prompt to correct ua in our grammar. The prob? lem is this: A. and B.

went to market, each carrying 12 ducks. A. sold his ducks two for a dollar, making, of course, six dollars for the 12 ducks. B. sold his 3 for a dollar, making four dollars for tbe twelve, ana ten dollars for the whole 24 ducks.

Now, 2 of A's. ducks at 2 for a dollar and 3 of B's. at 3 for a dollar, would be 5 for 2 dollars or 40 cents each. The next day A. being sick and unable to go to market sends 12 ducks by who also had 12 of his own, which he disposed of as a whole at the same rate that they did the day before, five for 2 dollars or fortv cents each.

How much did he get for the 24 duoks at that rate If he did not get ten dollars, why was it? when he sold them at the same rate per duck and per five ducks. Squire Fewel. May Gih, 1895. Local Breezes from Brushy Creok. Owing to the abundance of rain, farm? ing operations were at a stand still for seven or eight days of the last two weeks and farmers are' considerably behind.

Nearly every one, though, had part of his crop planted before the rain set In, and it will be ready to work out as Boon as he can get to it. So they'll just keep a hust? from the planter and hitch to the cultivator. No idle bread in the next few weeks for the man who makes his living by the sweat of his brow, pays his debts and goes to Sunday School, and God deliver us from the other fellow. He goeth about among his fellow men with bis Sunday shoes on. He approach eth them with a smile, setteth himself down hardly and hindereth tbem from their labor.

He knoweth a little about everything and talketh without ceasing. He selleth rotten eggs and sick chickens, and puttetb stuff in his butter, and is known by all the people round about. His garments he obtained on a credit and they fit him. He studieth by day and by night whom he may beat and goeth straightway and beats him. His credi? tors are many, yea he is debtor both to the merchant and the farmer, but tbe one upon whom he now feedeth is the only one in tbe lot of whom he speaketh no evil, (and be, poor devil, will fade into insignificance whom he asketh for bis pay.) He bloweth about how his crop growetb, and goetb about seeking whom be may deceive that he might fall upon tbem for the loan of a measure of flour.

Verily, his ways are ways of orookedness and all will rejoice when he is no more. The Messrs. Long Mauldiu have the thanks of the traveling public and bicycle riders especially, for several new bridges put down last week. Our roads are now in tolerable good order. We have been requested to say that "the Rev.

J. V. Vermlllion will preach at Pisgah next Saturday night, commencing at 7 o'clock. Sunday was the hottest day we have had yet. One of our bioycle boys who tried to out run a thunder shower in tbe afternoon Bays that his collar buttor melted out, and I reckon it's so, for he lost bis oollar.

At the new Cauroh, erected by Mr. W. S. Murphy near his residence, there will be a singing next Sunday, exercises com? mencing at 9 o'clock, and preaching at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The public cor? dially invited.

Those of our farmers who gathered their pea crops struck a streak of luck. They are selling for per bushel without a murmer. News is scarce this week. Ned Needle. Lebanon Items, Several weeks have gone by and we have loosed in vain for tbe appearance of locals from this section, so this morning, while we can't be at work on our farm, (owing to tbe heavy foil of rain last night) we will attempt to rake up a few items nothing of great interest though, we assure you.

We wish to correct a slight mistake of one of the locils of last week's issue, in regard to the work of Mr. C. P. Rogers, in this neighborhood. It was stated that "Mr.

C. P. Rogers has just completed a nice dwelling house for Mr. Ed ward Smith, in tbe Five Forks section, and has com merJced one for Mr. Mathias Richardson In the same section.

Mr. Rogers is a good carpenter, and always give3 satisfaction to those who employ him." We would like to know why that correspondent msde such a mintake? Tbe house of Mr. Edwin Smith was erected by Mr. M. M.

Morris, and only the painting of it was done by Mr. Rogers. And be was jast simply Eainting Mr. Richardson's old dwelling, Rogers is a very gocd painter, but if he is a carpenter your correspondent is not aware of it. Mr.

J. Douthit's fine dwelling house is near completed, and we can truthfully say there are not many more substantial houses in Anderson than Mr. Donthit's. Mr. Henry Reeves did the building of it, and Mr.

Wood Fant did tbe painting. Both of thes gentlemen are experts at their profession, and we are sure of perfect satis? faction on the part of those who are so for tun ite as to secure their work. Farmers are contemplating a warm skirmish with "general green" in the near futtire, and your correspondent thinks well they may, for his force is scattered all over the'face of our crops. 8omo of the formers have not yet buried their fertilizers, while others are nearlv ready to commence thin? ning cotton. Well, there is one consola? tion to those will save one working.

Small grain is looking very well now better than we expected a few weeks agr. Sickness is very prevalent in this section just now. and Dr. Duowortb is very busy. We would give you the names of those who are on the siok list, bnt therA are so many we will not commence.

Jsff Mrs. H. M. Reeves, of the city o. Ander? son, is visiting her parents, Mr and Mrs.

S. W. Smith, of this place. We understand that one or two of our citizens went on the excursion to Atlanta the other week. We do not know what kind of a report they have to make for themselves.

Next Saturday and Sunday are the preaching days at this place by tbe pastor, Rev. W. B. Hawkins. We hope there will be a large attendance both days.

It seemB that this Church contains some of the most ungodly members that can be found anywhere. Tbey swear and curse and lie and drink, and then when they are told of it, they just laugh and say, It's no harm." Certainly babylon is fallen, is fallen! and bas become the habitations of devils, and of every hateful and unolesn bird. Yours, one who knows and is not afraid to tell it. LowndesvlIIe Items.

On the third of May, A beautiful day, Tbe school at Eureka waa out; We did not cry, Nor were we shy, Bot nur opinion of tbe same londly sbont. We clamored long With voices strong, For a day at the teaober'a homr; She readily cited That we were all invited To come, and to do as we chose. We hied away, We could not stay, For High in tbe heavens waa tbe morn? ing's sun; We went to meet The friends we'd greet, On this our pio nloday of fun. With dresses neat And faces sweet, Tbe "chaps" assembled from far and near; They came along With laugh and song Tbey were tired, but for that tbey shed no tear In circles round Our seats tbe ground, For mumblepeg's amusement we'd beg; 'Twas very nice Till all in a thrice, We were told to get down and "root the pog Our second Was much the same. As to age and tbe fun it could ring; Old "Fox and a Goose" All come through, With a wbrop we madn the welkin ring.

The morning waned And noon time came, When we assembled under a large oak tree; To eat tbe cake The fair ones make, That so pleases the little ones like me. Later we strolled O'er pleasant knolls, To the rugged hills on Broad a way's bank; We sat on tbe rooks Regardless of frocks, With "brats" in our front, and "brats" on our flank. The hill so steep You could hardly keep From tnmbling down to tbe mud below; Yet we kept our seat And did not leave Till tbe evening sun was getting low. Back we went Though clothes we rent, To be in time for tbe candy pulling; In spite of care They messed tbelr bair, And when at home thpy may have gotten a "wooling." The little boys' race In bags to tbelr waist, Was a sight such as we seldom ever see; They hopped, they jumped, Tbey fell, tbey bumped. The whole crowd clapped thuir bands in lite.

Erasing closed, Our piu nie day was pasted, And we said good-bye among the Then homeward bound With joyful sound With tired feet and limbs, yet we were pleased. Stone Church Items.

We try not to be extravagant in our language, and never advertise that which we don't have.

We were never more anxious to increase our cially our Cash were never able to offer as good values throughout our entire Stock as we are now. It is not simply a few items on a bill which are bargains, but the entire bill is to be considered when you want'to know whether you have really received full value for your money. We repeat what we have often said before: That we court a thorough investigation of Style, Quality and Prices, and are williug to risk everything in the bright sun-light of comparison and investigation.

We were much pleased last week to have gome parties call, and, after looking through and comparing with others, said they were obliged to admit that things were just as we had adver? tised. An old friend asked if it were really true that we were selling Goods as we advertised We told him that he knew us, and if he didn't find things just as we said we could not have the cheek to ask him to buy. We don't mean to say that everything will sound like we are giving them away. No, no; for hard-earned money never causes that kind of feelings when it is leaving our pocket-books; but we do believe you will decide when you trade with us that you are getting value received in exchange for your money. This is our highest aim to accomplish, and to this end we will always do ev rything in our power.
