The Inter-County Normal Institute, for
white teachers, to be held in Greenville
from June 25th to Jnly 6th, promises to
he one of the largest and most successful
Institutes ever held in the State, and none
of our teachers can afford to miss it. In
the selection of the Faculty, great care has
been taken, to secure the best and most
practical lecturers. Railroad rates haye*
been reduced to four cents per mile for
round trip to teachers presenting teachers'
certificates to depot agents. Board can
be had at 50 cents per day in private fami?
lies. Our School Commissioner is very
much interested in the Institute, and will

The Greenville Entfyr?c and Moun?
taineer, of last week, says: "J. G. Clink
scales, the present School Commissioner
of Anderson County, has published a card
in the Intelligences stating that he will
not at the coming election .again offer for
the office. This determination on the
part of Mr, Clinkscales is to be regretted,
as he is a most efficient and useful official.
?The pablio service, we fear, will Buffer by
his retirement. It is our opinion that by
his industry, energy and zeal in the cause
of popular education, the system of pub?
lic schools in Anderson County has been
greatly strengthened and elevated; hence
onr regret at seeing him retire from the
office at this time."
Last Friday morning the case of the
City Council of Anderson vs. James Dun
bar, of Newberry, charged with gambling
on the night of the 12th inst, was called
for trial before Mayor Tolly. The City
Council was represented by W. S. Brown,
and Dunbar was represented by Harry
Blease, Esq., of Newberry. After tho
Council had closed its evidence, the defen?
dant was put on the stand and testified to
the effect that the witnesses for the Coun?
cil did not see him gamble, and that he
did not gamble while they were present.
Mr. Brown then, asked Dnnbar if he
played cards that night for money. To
this his counsel objected, as it tended, or
might tend, to criminate himself. Mayor
Tolly ruled that the question was a proper
question, and that Dunbar should an?
swer, whereupon Dunbar said, ''Well,
yea, I did play for rn oney, but these wit?
nesses did not see it." He then went on
to say that be had come here and pro?
cured a room, and fixed up two tables
with a Faro Bank and Red and Black, so
that if any of the young men wanted to
try their hanss he'd be ready. The
Mayor found him guilty of the charge of
gambling, and sentenced him to pay
$75.00, or work on the streets thirty days.
He appealed to the full Council and they
sustained the Mayor, and an appeal was
taken to the Circuit Court,

PATRICK'S MILITARY INSTITUTE.
First Annual Commencement?Speeches
by the Ondots?Sermon by Rov. Mr.
Culhbert, and an Address by Kev. Bili?
san Capers, etc.
The first annual commencement exor?
cises of Patrick's Military Institute began
last Friday evening and closed on Tues?
day, and throughout has been an exceed?
ingly interesting occasion. Those com?
mencement seasons are always looked
forward to with much pleasure, as they
bring together many friends and former
associates. The past week has been a gala
one in Anderson, and everybody was
absorbed in the Tournament, but not?
withstanding this fact, the Institute Com?
mencement was not foigotten, and at an
ealy hour last Friday evening many per?
sons could bti soen wending their way to
the Institute buildings. The clouds were
gathering, and just before the time for the
exercises to begin the rain came down in
torrents, but this did not keep the people
away. When we reached the building we
found the spacio d chapel comfortably
filled with an intelligent audience.
The chapel presented a very pretty
scene. Tfes Cadets, with the assistance of
their lady friends, had tastefully deco?
rated f he walls and the platform with ever?
greens nnd beautiful flowers. On the
platform were eight stacks of guns, which
were almost covered with wreaths.
The Young America Cornet Band was
present, and at intervals during the even?
ing rendered some of its excellent music.

On Sunday morning, at 11 o'olock, the
Commencement Sermon was preached in
the Baptist Church by Rev. Lucius Cuth
bert, of- Alken, S. C. His text was:
"And the Angel of the Lord appeared
unto him, and said unto him, the Lord is
with thee, thou mighty man of valor."?
Judges 6:12. Gideon, of whom the text
speaks, was taken as the hero of the ser?
mon, and presented to the young men, es?
pecially, for their admiration and imita?
tion. The preacher called attention to the
fact that the Angel addressed Gideon as a
man,' a mighty man, a "mighty man of valor."
He said the need of the times is for men,
mighty men, and men of valor. Edu?
cated, brave, moral, industrious men.
Men who will know the right and dare to
it; men who will take God's standard .as
their standard, and His will as their will,
and live by it and die by it. Especial at?
tention was directed to the fact that Gid?
eon was energetically doing his doty when
called by God to save Israel. It is not the
idle man that God wants for his noble and
grand purposes, but the busy, industrious,
energetic man, who will do what his
hands find to do faithfully and indus?
triously. This was illustrated by the call?
ing of the busy fishermen, and by several
old Testament examples of men who
were called from well-performed duty in
small things to some great and grand
work for God and humanity. Some of
you young men may be called to the plow.
If so, plow the deepest furrow, turn the
subsoil up the best and do the best and
most faithful service of any plowman.
Others of you may be called to drive the
plane or saw or wield the hammer. If so,
do it well and faithfully. Some of you
may be called to stand up in our Courts of
Justice. If so, do your duty to the best of
your ability and faithfully as in the pres?
ence of God. Perchance some of you
may be called to occupy the sacred desk.
If so, let the love and glory of God in?
spire every effort. He desired his hearers
to notice Gideon's absolute obedience to
God's command. This, he said, was the
most striking feature of Gideon's might.
Gideon recognized tbat the "ill of the
Lord must be done, so he went forth in
the strength of the Lord. Gideon had as?
surance of success, and this is an import-,
ant factor in moral might. To hesitate Is
to give up the struggle. Have a definite
purpose, the speaker urged, and never for?
sake it. With singleness of aim and pur?
pose, Gideon, pressed forward to success.
He recognized that a strict compliance
with the conditions of success was' essen?
tial to a mighty influence for good. Life
is but a series of competitive examina?
tions, and we in,ust be ready to meet then).
Feeble and futile are all our efforts unless
God is our helper. Gideon enjoyed this
advantage. It was the sword of Gideon
and the Lord that conquered. We are
often called to attempt what seems Impos?
sible. There is a daily conflict against the
world, the flesh and the devil. Let Gid?
eon's example cheer you in the conflict
Gideon's valor was shown by beginning
promptly this unequal struggle. He did
not hesitate, but persevered. Many men
fail because they don't know how' to fol?
low up the viotory tljey have already
gained. Yoqng men, follow up, your
advantages if you would succeed. There
must be no let up in the conflict botween
right and wrong. Whatever you under?
take in life, young men, remember to fol?
low up Gideon as he followed his God.
This brief synopsis does not do the ser?
mon justice, The spacious auditory was
filled to its ufcniogt capacity", apd every?
body gave earnest attention to the able
and eloquent speaker. We haye never
heard or iead a more appropriate com*
monooment sermon.
Monday evening was beautiful and
dear, with the moon shining in all its
splendor. For this evening a very inter?
esting programme had been arranged,
and long before the appointed bouj for the
exercises to begin,' it was evident that ths:
Chapel would be inadequate to accommo?
date the crowd. This proyed true, for
when the exercises opened, there was not
standing room in the Chapol, and many
were tnrned away.
The audience wag made up of not only
our own people, but of visitors from va?
rious sections of the State.
Tho programme for tbu evoniug wan
under the auspices of the Calophomian
and Polyhymnian Literary Societies of
fie Institute. Cadet M. A. Dean, of the
Polyliymnian,Society, presided through?
out tbo evening and introduced the speak?
ers.
Tho exorcises were opened with prayer
by Rev. Dr. Frierson, after which Presi?
dent Dean delivered a Bhort, address of
welcome, and introduced the declaimers,
Cadets W. C. Pearman, of i>derson, and
T. G. Talbert, of Edgefield,N'of whom
acquitted themsolves admirab-y.
Next on the programme came the origi?
nal speeches by the following Cadets on
tho subjects quoted :
"Integrity''?W.C. Broyles', of Broyles,
S. C.
"Young Men"?F. L. Brown, of An?
derson County.
" Rolling Stone Gathers no Moss"?
T. W. Gary, of Newberry.
"Something"?Percy Sharp?, of Ander?
son County.
These speeches were well delivered, and
were very good productions.
The debate followed next, on the sub?
ject : "Resolved, That the masses are gov?
erned more by Fashion than Reason."
The affirmative side was represented by
Cadets W. H. Geer, W, F. Anderson and
M. 0. Ligon ; the negative by Cadets
W. T. DuDcan, J. B. Townsend and G. A.
Miller.
The subject was ably handled by both
sides, two or three of the speeches, espe?
cially, being exceptionally good. The
debates showed a thorough training of
the mind, considerable powers of analy
ays and clearly defined ideas. The even?
ing's exercises were highly enjoyed by
the large audience, who showed their
appreciation by frequent applause. The
speakers were the recipients of many
beautiful floral tributes.
Tuesday morning the commencement
exercises were opened with prayer by Rev.
A. P, Nicholson, after which the following
declamations were had:
T. G. Talbert, 0f Edgefield, his subject
was "Do It yourself."
J. D. Brown, of Anderson?subject, "In?
temperance."
J. M. F?nt, of this County?subject,
"Sorrowing for the dead."
Next came the farsical debate. Ques?
tion : "Whether at public elections the
votes of factions should predominate by
internal suggestions, or the bias of juris?
prudence." The debaters were R. E. Lee,
B. W. Drummond and W, A. Meyer, all
of Barnwell, and G. A. Tribble of Ander?
son. This was well enacted and highly
enjoyed by all present.
Next were declamations by W. S. Brown,
Jr., Anderson, on "Eternal Justice."
B. E. Miller, Barnwell?subject, "Fam?
ine in Ireland."
R. E. Burriss, Anderson, on the "Sailor
Boy's Dream." .
A dialogue came next. It was "David
and Goliath," in which W. P. Nicholson
represented David and P. L. Brown the
Giant.
Probably the most amusing part of Tues?
day's programme was "The Rival Speak?
ers," in which D. M. Johnson, of Barn?
well, and Ben. S. Patrick, of Anderson,
appeared. This was certainly well done,
and exceedingly amusing. . .
Fred. W. Nardin deserves special men?
tion for the beautiful manner in which he
recited the "Maniac' The same might be
said of S. B. Hair, whose subject was,
"Asleep at the Switch."
The following orations were delivered:
J. D. Lowrance, of Columbia, on "Am
tlon/'
J, H. Earle, of Anderson, on "The
claims of the age on the young men of
America."
C. A. Milford, of Anderson, on "Effects
of immoral Literature on the minds of the
Young."
A. C. Tribble, of Anderson, on "Gran?
deur of Self-Sacrifice."
All these orations were well prepared,
and showed careful study and good minds,
At this stage the Rev. Ellison Capers,
of Columbia, was introduced as the speak?
er of the occasion. His subject was "The
Guarantee which a True Manhood offers
to the Boys." He said :
There is ever in the human heart a
ready response to that which is true and
good and noble. Your callings are the
high callings of your God. Generations
seldom appreciate their influence on the
generations to follow. The real aim of
life should be the attainment of a true
manhood. This is not given simply by
the asking?you cannot take it from oth?
ers. The heart of each separate man must
work out his own manhood. The first
step in the formation of that manhood is
the selection of the success you expect to
attain. Remember the house that was
built on the sand and the one built on the
rock. That house is character, and that
rock is Christ. How bitter the satire of
the modern infidel when he tells that he
considers himself as one of a myriad of
horses to help draw on the wheels of time.
Such will be rhc end of e cry one who has
no hope beyond this life. One very sweet
thought concerning this race is that none
who ever enter the true race of life shall
fail. The glory of a true manhood is a
common possession in which all are inter?
ested. The ship's destiny will be in your
keeping, young men, when those who now
have charge of it pass from the stage of

This ia but a feeble effort to give an idea
of Gen. Capers' address.' To have been
appreciated it must have been heard
At the conclusiqn of 0,60. Capers' ad?
dress, thp following prizes were awarded:
Prize in cpmposition, awarded by J. L.
Tribble, Esq., to A- V- Cuter. Jn advance
composition, the pritsewaB awarded to Capt.
J. D. Lowrance, ol Columbia, by Ool. J. G.
Olinkscalos. In book-keeping the prize
was won by D. M. Johnson, of Barnwell,
to whom it was delivered by Gen, Caners.
In penmanship, thp gold pen was awarded
t:o H. 8." Dowlirigby Gep. Capers. Certifi?
cates of proficiency in book-keeping were
issued to eight or ten of tho young men,
whose names we did not get. The roll of
honor was then read, with many naraos on
it who had ended the session without a de?
merit ; also the roll of honorable mention,
and roll of conduct, after which the bene?
diction was nronoqnced by Rev. A. P..
Nicholson, ^nd the session of 1887-8 of the
Patrick'Milifary institute was ended.
' Anderson naturally and ju?tly reels
proud of the ''Patrick Military Institute."
The first session has just closed, aud the
patrons are entirely satisfied with the very
able manner in which it has been so sue
cessfully conducted. Ca.pt. -John B. Pat?
rick, the President of the Institute, is a
man of such acknowledged ability and
character, as to need nothing to be said by
any one iu bis behalf. He graduated at
the Citadel* after four years attendance,
with honor and distinction, and without a
single demerit. He Is a man of pure Chris?
tian character, that shines through all his
work, and tends to inspire the young men
to a true manhood.
Prof. W. J. Ligon, one of his assistants,
is too well known for us to undertake to
pass a eulogy on him. He is undoubtedly
one of the best educators of young men to
be found in the South.
Lieut. John M. Patrick is a chip off of
the old block, and takes very much after hh?
father in many respects. He is certainly a
young man of very great promise, endowed
with those qualities which ensure success.
With such a corps of teachers may not,
and ought not, Anderson to proudly point
to the "Patrick Military Institute," as the
leading school of the up-country for the
education of young men.
More than a hundred names appear on
the roll of attendance, and it is confidently
expected that the roll of the next session
will be-considerably larger.
' Long live the "Patrick Military Insti?
tute."
Conclusion of the Tournament.
Anderson' great Tournament is a thing
of the past, and our quiet little city has
settled down to its normal condition.
Our report last week concluded with
the programme of Wednesday, and as we
went to press preparations lor the Ball,
which took place Wednesday evening,
were going on. The Ball was given in
Bleckley, Brown & Pretwell's large brick
building, on East Benson street, and is
pronounced the largest and most brilliant
Ball ever given in Anderson. The spa?
cious Hall was tastefully decorated and
brilliantly illuminated, and the floor was
waxed until it fairly glistened. Bear
den's Band, of Augusta, furnished tbe
music for the evening. The dance
opened about 10 o'clock with the grand
march, led by Mr. Mr. T. S. Crayton and
Miss Maggie Evans, in which about
thirty couples participated. Tbe dancing
was continued until the small hours of
the morning. There were a large crowd
of spectators present, among them Qov.
Bichardson and Gen. Bonham. The
merry participants as well as the lookers
on enjoyed the evening in the highest
degree. Tbe management of the occasion
could not have been better, and the An?
derson Dancing Club is to be congratula?
ted upon tbe success of its Fifth Annual
Ball.
At an early hour Thursday morning it
was evident that interest in the Tourna?
ment was not waning, and by 11 o'clock
there was as laige a crowd in the city as
there was on the preceding day. /
The programme for the day opened
with the Hook and Ladder Truck contest,
the.time judges being Messrs. J. M. Hub
bard, of Anderson, Wm. Meredith, of
Belton, and Chief Jones, of Newberry,
and the ladder judges were Messrs.
McDowell and Dorsey, of Athens. There
were only two entries in this contest, the
Independents, of this city, and the Pio?
neers, of Greenville. In justice to the
latter company we would say that they
did not come prepared to enter tbe con?
test, but were prevailed upon after their
arrival to enter. The Company used the
Independent's Truck, and despite - the
fact that, they run in heavy shoes and
parade uniform, they made the rnn in
421-5 seconds. Capt. Regan has a fine
set of men, and received many compli?
ments from the crowd.
The Independents then appeared in
white tights with velvet trunks and red
caps. They took hold of their Truck, and
as they marched up the track to the start?
ing point, it was the general verdict that
no finer looking team had appeared on
the track during the Tournament. Their
climber, Ben. Fant, had come out of a
sick bed, and was very weak, but the team
was confident of success. The word "go"
was given and down the track the boys
run, scoring a record of 34 seconds. The
boys had frequently beat this time In
practicing, and had it not been for the
sickness of their climber, they wonld
have reduced the time at least two seo
onds. The Independents were given the
first prize, $100, and the second prize ($50)
was given to tbe Pioneers of Greenville.
Tbe next feature of the day's programme
was tbe foot race, and it proved to be the
most exciting event of the Tournament,
The Judges selected were Messrs. F. A.
Spellman and L. E. Norryce, of Ander?
son, 8. B. Jones, of Newberry, and W. A.
McDowell, of Athens.
There were twelve entries for tbe con?
test, as follows: Bloomfield, No. 4, of
Athens, Cbas. Dottory; Pioneer, No. 5,
of Athens, G. R Nicholson and W. A.
Beeves; Pioneer, of Anderson, Will
Branch and S. C. Baker; Independent
Hook and Ladder, Anderson, H. W. Ste?
phens, Will. MlUfcird and J. flf. Bell;
South Carolina, of Anderson, Geo. Miller
and B. A. Daniels j Excelsior, of New?
berry, 8. T. Mc^xughrin and H. T.
White. The Athens team objected to Mr.
Stephens being entered, as he had not
participated in the parade of Tuesday, as
the rules required. Mr. Stephens had
been excused from the parade on account
of sickness. After a delay of an hour or
so, tbe Jndges decided that Mr. Stephens
was entitled to enter the contest, as his
excuse for not participating in the parade
was a valid one.
When the rquceiS appeared on the
course, loud oheers went up and excite?
ment ran high. It was soon evident that
Messrs. Stephens, Nicholson and Reeves
were the favorites, and bets were freely
offered on each of them. The run was for
100 yards, and in addition to the prize of
$10, Messrs. Hubbard & Bro? our popular
young jewelers, offered a fine gold watch
to the successful man. The runners were
strung out in a line, and at the report of a
pistol. they all started down the track
together, the crowd ye'-Ung and cheering
as they fan. R was a close race, and the
friends of Messrs. Stephens, Nicholson
and Reeves claimed that each had come
out ahead. There was considerable ex?
citement at the time, and in the meantime
the judges retired to decide who was the
winner of the prize. They were closeted
for two hours, but could not agree, and
finally decided to let the three gentlemen
named above run the race over. Reeves
declined to enter the second race, and
Stephens and Nicholson had the race
between themselves. The friends of both
were confident of success, but Stephens
crossed the line fi,rst, and wa-i declared the
winner of the race by at U<ast two feet.
The crowd then went wild for a few min?
utes, and Mr. Stephens was ce. tainly the
hero of tho day. This race makes Mr.
Stophena the champion of North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia.
The steamer contest came next. There
wcro only two entries, the Hope, of
Athens, and the Pioneer, of Anderson.
Tbe Hope steamer made steam in 5 min?
utes and v seconds; filled and emptied
the bucket in 2 minutes^ and threw a
stream a distance of 109J feet, The Pio?
neer steamer is much larger than the
Hope steamer, and It was decided not to
enter it In the quick steam contest. In
filling the bucket, tho Pioneer refusied to
work about the time the bucket was half
filled, and that contest, as well as the djis
tanco contest, had ;o bo. abandoned. Tbe
South 'Carolinas, of this city, entbred the
bucket contest and captured the prize,
filling thft bucket In 1 minute and 15
seconds, the best time on record.
The Hope steamer was given the first
prize ($100) in tbe steamer eeriest, ana,'
the prize ($10) for filling the 'bucket was'
given to tbe South Carolinas.
In the Band contest, the Young Amer
ica Cornet Band, of thts city, had no com?
petitors, and tho boys wore givou tho
prize, which thoy would have won any?
way, even if there had been six or seven
Bands in the contest.
Thursday evening the Banquet was
given In tho same Hall where the Ball
took place. It, too, was a big success.
There were between four and five hun?
dred guests present, and everybody
seemed to enjoy the evening very much.
Gen. Humphreys presided. The feast was
a fine one, and the committee in charge of
it deserve much praise for their excellent
management of the occasion. The follow?
ing were the toasts:

Responded to by S. J. McCaughrin.
Thus the Tournament came to a close,
and everybody records it a success from
the beginning to the close.
Denver Items.
The farmers are still warring hot and
furiously against Gen. Green. Whilst
victory seems to perch upon the standard
of some, others will have to make several
more charges of the "Light Brigade"
before the exultant shout goes up that the
battle is fought aud the victory won.
One of Denver's most respected and
venerable citizens is something of a
dreamer. A few nights ago he dreamed
he was being hotly pursued by dogs, and
his only way'of defense was by throwing
rocks at them. In a supreme effort to
hnrl consternation in the ranks of his
pursuers, he made a big surge and leaped
from the bed and landed kerthug on the
floor. That he speedily awaked goes
without the saying.
Some time ago Mr. W. E. Eskew bad
occasion to carry home a very large and
fine chicken rooster. To make assurance
double sure, the rooster had bis legs tied
together and was then put into an old
sack and it tied up with just a hole in it
for tbr chicken's heal to be out On the
homeward jonrney Sir Chantioler got
tired of riding and jumped off. Diligent
inquiry failed to reveal bis whereabouts
until the lapse of eleven days, when some
children found him in the woods about a
hundred yards from the road. He was
still tied and still alive, but bis legs were
somewhat the worse from being in limbo
so long.
Several poisons ave visiting friends and
relatives near here this week. We men?

Athena vs. Anderson.
From an interview published in the
Evening Graphic, of Athens.', Ga., it seems
that some of the Atheus Firemen were not
pleased with their trip to Anderson, and
especially with their ontertainment and ac?
commodations while here. The Graphic
reporter alleges to have interviewed one
W. F. Dorsey, of the Athens Fire Depart?
ment, who, after saying all the hard things
he can about Anderson, her firemen and
hotels, says the Tournament was not con?
ducted fairly. The Intelligencer does
not care what he says about our town, our
firemen and hotels, but when he says the
Tournament was not conducted fairly, he
simply misstates the facts. The managers
of the Tournament, and all of the judges
of the races, with one exception (and that
exception is a Georgia man) were high
toned, honorable gentlemen, who did their
duty faithfully and conscientiously, and
i who would not do otherwise under any
conceivable circumstances.
Dorsey says that our firemen did not pay
any attention to the Athens firemen. In
reply to this we would say that our firemen
did the best they cenld, and if an Athens
firemen did not receive any attention from
them it was his own fault. Upon their ar?
rival in the city they were met at the depot
and escorted to the Pioneers' Hall, where
they were served with ham, chicken, salads,
sandwiches, cake of various sorts, ice
cream, lemonade and cigars, and of all
these there were an abundance. There was
no whiskey or beer. In the Independents'
Hall there were also an abundant supply
of tho same eatables. These Halls were
open day and night during the Tourna?
ment, with negro porters always there
ready to serve the visiting firemen in any
manner. The firemen were invited to visit
these Halls at any time. What more could
our firemen do?
In reply to what Dorsey says about the
sleeping accommodations, we would say
that it is the general opinion that some of
the Athens firemen, during their stay in
our city, were not in a fit cohditition to
tell whether they slept on corn cobs, straw
or feathers. A few of them, we are told,
occupied the gutters one or two nights.
Perhaps when the Graphic reporter met
Dorsey, he (Dorsey) had not recovered
from the too liberal use of "agaric" and
"corn milk.'; ~
We had the pleasure of meeting a num?
ber of the Athens firemen during their stay
in our city, and found the majority of them
to be true gentlemen, and we do not and
cannot believe that all of them will en?
dorse what Dorsey says.
Before the first day's programme of the
Tournament was over, our firemen found
out that among the Athens firemen there
were some "chronic kickers," and that
nothing that could be done would satisfy
them. The rules did not suit them in sev?
eral instances, and they were changed three
times to accommodate them. There are
many other little incidents that we could
mention to prove that a few of the Athens
firemen were about the most contentions
men that ever participated in any Tourna?
ment, but we forbear. We regret to write
this article, but in justice to our city and
To ornament we are forced to do it.
Athens' Mayor pro tern, Hon. W. A. Mc?
Dowell, was here throughout the Tourna?
ment, and we believe he will substantiate
what we have said.

Married, by W. A. Dickson, Notary
Publio, at bis residence in Townville, on
Sunday morning 10th inst., Mr. Nathan
Queen to Miss Tallulah MoOrary, all of
Anderson County,
Mr. Henry Cole, the oldest citizen of
this Township, died at his residence on
Sunday morning, last. A written record
of Mr. Cole's age had not been preserved,
but it is known that he llved.to the ad?
vanced age of about 100 years. He had
always enjoyed robust health, and it is
worthy of mention that though he had
survived three generations, yet he was
able until recently to walk a distance of
several miles. The deceased was never
a member of any church, society, or or?
ganization of any kind, but whatever
might be said of his frailties, it may be
truly said that his honesty and integrity
of character was never questioned. His
remains-were interred at Double Springs

Gen. James W. Harrison.
Gen. James W. Harrison, whose death
was published last weck, was at the lime
of his death about seventy years of age.
He was the last surviving member of the
family of his father, Mr. James Harrison,
of Andersonville. His brother, Col. Frank
Harrison, died about ten years ago, and
his sister, Mrs. Judge Whitner, about two
years ago. In early life Gen. Harrison
married Mary J., daughter of Mr. E. B.
Benson, a prominent citizen and successful
merchant of Old Fendleton, who survives
him. Together they reared a large family
of sons and daughters, who mourn their
father's death.
Having adopted the profession of law he
resided at old Fickens for two or three
years after his marriage in the active prac?
tice of his profession. In 1843 or 1844 hs
returned to Anderson, entered into part?
nership with Judge Whitner, then at the
bar, and from that time resided here almost
continuously up to within two or three
years preceding his death, when he re?
moved to Walhalla with his wife and
youngest daughter, to be near two of his
married children who were living there.
He was at one time part Owner, with the
late A. 0. Norris, of the old Anderson
Gazette and its editor. He had a peculiar
talent for journalism, and was recognized
as one of the most graceful and forcible
writers in the State. Although actively
engaged in the practice of his profession,
he represented for several years the mu?
nicipal corporation of the Town of Ander?
son as Intendent, and always with satis?
faction to the corporators. He also before
the war represented Old Fendleton District
in both branches of the Legislature?first
in the House and afterwards in the Sen?
ate?and was Senator for Anderson, after
the division of Fendleton District, when
the war broke out. He was at this time in
tbe prime of life, and was justly regarded
as one of the leading men in tbe councils
of the State. Conservative in his views,
earnest in his convictions and sagacion in
counsel, he rose to a position of great
usefulness and influence in the legislative
halls. He was an active friend and co
laborer in projecting the old Blue P.idge
Railroad, was during its active prosecution
np to 1860 one of the chief Counsel of the
Company, and abandoned his profession
after the war to become its President. He
earnestly desired and strove for its comple?
tion as a State enterprise, and a large issue
of bonds was authorized for this purpose,
but he soon found himself unable to cope
with, and still less to assent, to the disre?
putable methods of the men who con?
trolled the State government and the road?
the carpet-bag host?and retired from the
presidency of the road in disgust, with his
labors unrewarded and his character un
smirched. Disappointed in this his last
ambition, with impaired health and a for?
tune scattered by the results of the war,
Gen. Harrison thenceforth withdrew him?
self from the public gaze and lived in re?
tirement.
But it was as ?*lawyer that Gen. Harri?
son displayed the most marked ability, and
achieved his greatest distinction, and espe?
cially in equity practice. Quick of dis?
cernment he seized upon the strong points
of a case with almost unerring judgment,
and applied to them the principles of the
law with a rare discrimination, As a
counsellor few were his equals and none
were his superiors, and among his profes?
sional brethren his judgments ranked as
the highest. Possessing a weak voice and
a persuasive style of speaking, he never
rose to the heights of eloquence as an ad?
vocate, but was so wary and acute that he
often surprised and put to flight his adver?
sary by some coup d'main that won him
the victory.
Gen. Harrison was a man of decided lit?
erary tastes, and being of a retiring dispo?
sition those who knew him well were not
slow to perceive that he found more real
pleasure in general reading and literary
culture than in the active pursuits of his
profession. But it ia as the genial gentle?
man, and fox his many private virtues,
that his friends will most delight to re?
member him and to honor his memory.
Amiable in disposition, of a gentle courtesy
and great kindliness he had few, if any,
enemies, and was greatly beloved by his
friends. Generous to a fault he gave as
long as he had anything to give, and would
forgive a debt rather than enforce its col?
lection, and of such a large-hearted chari?
ty was he that be rarely spoke censoriously
of another. Yet was he steadfast in prin?
ciple, despising whatever was mean and
despicable, and regulating his own conduct
by the highest sentiments of truth and
honor. Though never allied to any of the
Christian churches, in outward conduct he
possessed many of the noblest traits of a
Christian gentleman. ''Whatsoever things
were true, whatsoever things were honest,
whatsoever things were just, whatsoever
things were pure, whatsoever things were
lovely, whatsoever things were of good re
Sort," on these things he thought, and en
eavored to practice them in his daily life.
Deeply imbued with these Christian vir?
tues who shall say that he had not in his
heart that love of God and Iiis fellow-man
that make up the Christian character ?
