Last Tuesday afternoon our townsman,
Mr. John Catlett, accompanied by his
wife, was driving in the country. When
near Mr. S. A. Whittaker's residence, in
Varennes Township, a rabbit, which was
being chased by a dog, started across the
road, and as it did so the front wheel of
Mr. Catlelt's buggy ran over it, killing it
instantly. Our friend has long been in
the livery business, and we always knew
he kept good, fast horses, but we never
thought he had one that could overtake a
rabbit, especially when crossing a road.
Last Friday afternoon, Lester Barton,
a negro boy about seventeenyears of age,
attempted an outrageous assault on Mrs.
Burton, wife of Mr. Lawrence Burton,
who resides pear Cooke's Station. Mrs.
Burton was alone in the house when the
negro attacked her. Her screams fright?
ened him off and attracted the attention of
some near neighbois, who came to her
rescue and found her on the floor, where
she had fainted. The negro was arrested
In a few hours, and is now in jail. The
good people of that section were indig?
nant at the assault, and there was strong
talk of lynching the fiend.
Last Tuesday we were the recipient of
one of the most beautiful bouquets of
chrysanthemums our eyes have ever be?
held. It was presented to ns by Miss Le
nora Hubbard, the earnest and efficient
Principal of the Home School, of this
city. There were a dozen or more colors
represented, all of which were neatly and
tastefully arranged, covering one side of
a large palmetto fan, to which they were
fastened. The chrysanthemums were
plucked from Miss Hubbard's school
house yard, which Is a veritable paradise
of flowers. We return many thanks for
the beautiful bouquet. It now hangs
above our desk, and every one who visits
onr office feasts their eyes upon its beauty.
The Spartanburg Spartan says : "In An?
derson a 'gambling den' was entered by
the police and one negro was arrested.
The report says 'the police are determined
to break up the ring.' You notice gener?
ally that only negroes are arrested in this
State for gambling, or if, perchance, a
white man, from any cause, is indicted, he
is never punished. If there is not a poker
room or two in Anderson, run by white
men, it is an exception of a town. The
police will never molest them. See if they
do." Anderson is certainly an exception
of a town, Bro. Petty. There is no poker
room here run by whito men. If there
was, onr police would soon find it out,
and would not hesitate to arrest the par?
ties. Gambling is not allowed in Ander?
son, either by white or black.
The Greenville News, of last Tuesday,
contains the following notice of the death
of a lady well known in Anderson:
"Many people here were shocked and
pained yesterday to hear of the sudden
death at Landrums, in Spartanburg coun?
ty, of Mrs. Caroline Mays, the wife of John
A. Mays, and well known in this city.
Mrs. Mays went to bed Saturday night
complaining of being unwell. When her
husband awoke in the morn.ng he was
shocked to find his wife lying dead by
his sido. It is supposed that a complicat?
ed organic affection caused her sudden
decease. Mrs. Mays lived in Greenville
many years, and she had a large circle of
acquaintances here. She was a woman of
much strength of character, and possessed
of many admirable qualities. The body
of the deceased reached thecily yesterday
and the funeral will be had to-dny at 4 p.
m. at the Methodist church."
Our esteemed friend, Mr. J. C. Gantt, of
the Fork, came to the city last Saturday
J for the purposo of paying his taxes, I
and while conversing with him about tax?
es, crops, etc., he exhibited to us a tax re?
ceipt of his father's for the year 1849.
The receipt was for taxes paid on 352acres
of land, and was divided as follows: State,
30 cents and 1 mill; Road, 3 cents and 8
mills; Poor, 4 cents and 3 mills; Public
Buildings, 1 cent and 5 mills; making a
total of 39 cents and 7 mills. The receipt
was written on plain white paper, and
was signed by R. N. Wright, Tax Collec?
tor. Mr. Gantt owns 317 acres of the
I same land, and the taxes on it this year
amounts to $19.40. This is a big differ?
ence. In 1849, Mr. Gantt informed us,
there was no tax on personal property.
There was also no assessment of property
then. Land was divided into throe
grades, and when a man went to pay his
taxes, he was asked how much land he
possessed and what grade it was, and his
tax receipt was made out accordingly.
The County Commissioners received no
pay for their services then. When they
met at the Court House, the only expense
tho County had was to furnish each of
them with a dinner. Wonder how many
men there are in the County to-day who
would be willing to serve as Commission?
ers for the same wages ? Those were good
old days, and we doubt if our taxes will
ever again be as low as thoy were then.
Tho familiar face and form of our vene
rable and highly esteemed townsman, Mr,
Jesse R. Smith, will no more he seen
upon the streets of Anderson, for "death
has called him from labor unto rest."
Last Friday afternoon, at half-past
o'clock, he peacefully passed away at his
home in this city, after an illness of about
five months. Mr. Smith was 73 years of
age, and was one among the oldest resi
dents of Anderson. He was born about
six miles from the town, and when abou
nineteen years of age came here to learn
the tailor's trade. From that time until
his death he has resided here, and, with
the exception of two or three years, was
continuously engaged as a merchant tail?
or. Mr. Smith was perhaps as well
known as any man in Anderson County.
He was a man of some fine traits of char?
acter, and of quiet and unostentatious de?
meanor. He was no dissembler, but a
man of positive opinions and a resolute
will. As a friend he was loyal, as a citi?
zen faithful to every obligation, and as a
husband and father gentle and kind. He
had been since his youth a consistent
member of tUe Baptist Church, and for a
number of years was a Deacon of the
Anderson Church. Mr. Smith was twice
married, and his wife and two sons sur?
vive him. The funeral services were
held last Saturday afternoon in the Bap?
tist Church, at 4 o'clock, Rev. A. A. Mar?
shall and Rev. J. S. Murray officiating.
A large concourse of friends and acquain?
tances were present. The remains were
interred in the Baptist cemetery.

Thanksgiving Day, we prosumd, will be

Churches.
The schools of this section opened on
Monday, 7th inst. Misses Bettie Earle
and Mary Roberts both have very good
schools. The neighborhood has plenty of |
material for two good schools, and parents
should realize the importance and tho in
destructable fact, as the twig is bent so the
tree will grow; that in this fast age, if they
ever expect their children to be useful
citizens and ornaments in future society,
they must strike while the iron is hot.
The male population, both young and
old, have formed a Debating Society,
which meets every Saturday night at Ru

"Which is the greatest incentive to action,

ward ?" The public generally are invited
either to participate in the debate or sit
and listen to the enchanting oratory of
those who do take part in it.
From all reports, the matrimonial mar?

Since November came in, the bang of the
shot gun is heard on every side. The
birds are small for the season, doubtless
due to so much rainy weather about tho
time the first broods came off, which killed
a great many of them.
Mr. Jeptha Harper is proving that his
notice against tresspassera means some?

Mr. J. D. McElroy, who is a very close
observer, and also ono of the largest and
most successful farmers about; here, has
advanced a new idea concerning the re?
claiming of old wornjout land, where the
soil has washed away and the land will
not pay to cultivate it. Ho recommends
that such lands be sown in blackborries.
AU observers know that the blackberry
will grow on almost any kind of land, and
after growing three or four years the land
will produce a paying crop of almost any
kind.
Messrs. Douthit it Eskew, who deal
largely in the best brands of fertilizers,
sold a bill of cotton consisting of forty

of McCully, Cathcart & Co., was the pur?
chaser.
Mr. S. L. Eskew has recently sold two
lots in Denver; ono to Jolly & Hobson,

Tho long winter evenings are relieved of

Three of these occasions were had the week
just passed, at the following places in the

R. Simpson and John F. Martin. All
were well attended and highly enjoyed by
those present. Doubtless tho next thing in
order will be a candy pulling, or to mod?

work herself in preference to housework.
She has a churn that has been in constant
use for fifty-five years, and a lard jar that
she has filled with lard for the same length
of time. Can any one beat this ? Jay.
Shall the Iron Bridge be Rebuilt ?
Anderson County, S. C,
November 11,1887.
Mr. Editor: The Commissioners seem
to bo waiting for some expression from
the people of Anderson County, aud es?
pecially from Fork township, concerning
tho rebuilding of the iron bridge at Sloan's
Ferry, on Seneca River. I have been a
taxpayer in Anderson County for about
forty-five years; I have been living in
Fork township, on the banks of Soneca
River, twenty-eight years, and have trav?
eled the road by Earle's Bridge and
Sloan's Ferry time and again, in wet and
dry, and I take the ground that tho road
by Sloan's Ferry to the City of Anderson
to be far superior to the Earle's 13ridge
road in many respects. It is convenient
for nine-tenths of Fork township. The
road from Sloan's Ferry by Townville on
to Westminster is a level, smoothe way,
without any hills of any note, aud so is
the road from the Ferry to Anderson, ex?
cept the Byrum hills near town, and I do
not think tho distance will far exceed one
mile farther than the Earle's Bridge route.
The great mistake, no doubt, was in the
hoight of the bridge; also in not placing
the butment timber substantially. For
my part, I do not see anything which has
come to light sinco the bridge was washed
down that would go against it being re?
built at the same place, and as soon as
possible, before the timber should be
damaged. I would say to the Commis?
sioners it is a County misfortune, as well
as all other damaged bridges in tho Coun?
ty. W. A. Browni.ee.

Died, in Franklin Co., Ga., Nov. 5, 1887,
in the 49th year of her ago, Mrs. Sarah
Davenport, the beloved wife of Mr. J. D.
Allen. Mrs. A. was baptized into the fel?
lowship of Fork Shoals Baptist Church by
the late Rev. W. L. Ballard more than 30
years ago. She afterwards moved her
membership to Big Creek Church, and at
the time of her death she was a member of |
the Church at Liberty, near her home in
Georgia. Mis. Allen adorned the profes?
sion she made of Christ in early woman?
hood until her death by a consistent and
well-ordered Christian life. Her remains
were interred in the graveyard at Big Creek
Church in this County on Tuesday, the
8th, after funeral services, conducted by
Elder |D. Weston Hiott. She was twice mar?
red, and leaves a devoted husband and 7
affectionate children to mourn her absence.
I have rarely seen so much feeling mani?
fested at a funeral?both Georgia and South
Carolina friends seemed alike deeply mov?
ed. To the afflicted relatives and friends
we would say be of good cheer, for, by the
grace of God, if you are faithful to Him,
you may meet her again in that city
"where the walls are all of jasper, built by
workmanship divine-"

Many People Refuse to tako Cod
Liver Oil on account of its unpleasant

Hypophosphites. It being as palatable as
milk, and the most valuable remedy
known for the treatment of Consumption,
Scrofula and Bronchitis, General Debility,
Wasting Diseases of Children, Chronic
Coughs and Colds, has caused physicians
in all parts of the word to use it. Physi?

As will be seen bolow Westmoreland
Bros, have secured an admission from n
regular practicing physician which puts a
sterling stamp on their celebrated Tunic.
Here it is:
Westmoreland Bros., Druggists, Green?
ville, S. C. : Allow me to offer you my
experience with Calisaya Tonic. I have
prescribed it in a great many cases of gen?
eral debility with marked success. In fact,
I treated a case of typhus malarial fever
with no other anti-periodic Tonic or stim?
ulant. It has proved all you claim for it
in my hands and has been perfectly satis?
factory.
The above is from a physician of exten?
sive experience and reputation, and is un?
deniable evidence of the excellence of Cal?
isaya Tonic.
Use Dr. Dukes' Anti-Bilious Wafers iu
connection with the Tonic if your liver is
out of order.

? Portland, Oregon, makes its 360
saloons pay !>40,000 into its treasury, aud
Portland landlords charge the saloon?
keepers rent to the amount of $182,000
yearly. This means that a good many
men in Oregon support the saloons better
than they do their families.
? The unusually large number
young men who have been committed to
the State insane asylum of Michigan in
the last year and a half has led to the
discovery that almost all of them smoked
cigarettes to excess. In many cases
is said to be absolutely certain that cigar
ette smoking was the cause of the insani
ty. ^ It is also reported that a prominent
society young man in Detroit has been
made deaf by cigarette smoking.

THE REASONS WHY?
FOR twelve years the New York Cash
Store has enjoyed the reputation of keep?
ing the best stock and selling at the lowest
prices. Since the opening of the New York
House of Cohen, Anistein & Bonn, at the
corner of 3rd Avenue and 50th Street, the
New York Cash Store has better facilities
than ever of obtaining bargains, and that
is one reason why M. B. Arnstein is doing
such a big business this Fall. Another
reason is his determination to lead in the
lead, underbuy and undersell, offer the
best Goods for the least money, and at all
times give his customers the benefit of his
cheap purchases.
FOR THIS WEEK
the following Bargains will be offered:
50 pieces of beautiful Dress Goods?fine
twilled or fancy designs, the filling guaran?
teed to be pure wool?at only 12c a yard.
25 pieces of fine Tricot Flannels, in the
new shades of green, navy, black, garnet,
and brown, at only 20c a yard.
20 piecos of full yard wide Broadwale
and English Suitings reduced from 35c to
25c a yard.
15 pieces of yard wide English Cash?
mere?beautiful shades and fine texture?
heretofore sold by all at 40c, now only 25c
a yard.
Christmas is coming, and wc are anxious
to dispose of our large stock of Dross
Goods. Everybody can get a bargain, if
they will only come to the New York
Cash Store. Black Cashmeres, black and
colored Velvets and Plushes, black and
fancy Silks will be offered at tho lowest
closing out prices.
Don't forget our Carpets and Rugs?just
the thing for Christmas presents.
Thousands of yards of dark Winter
Calicoes will be disposed of at 2Ac a yard.

"I want a Suit, too," is a frequent remark
in our Store. No wonder the gentlemen
appreciate our fine stock of Clothing, which
we offer much below regular Clothing

Because they are the cheapest in Town,
