TOWN AND COUNTY NEWS
T. D. KENNEDY, LOCAL EDITOR.
PERSONAL.

Rev. w. w. Mood left for Charleston on Sat
urday morning last. lie is witness in the
celebrated libel suit against the Ne'cs and Cou-
ricr, which began OH Monday.
We were gratifed to meet with Mr.. Longdon
T. Cheves, of Mississippi, who is a son of Judge
Thomas A. Cheyes, formerly of Abbevillc.
Mr. Cheves is on a visit to relatives and friends
in this State, and expresses himself much
pleased with the land of his forefathers.
Andrew Jackson Stringer, Esq, was in town
on Tuesday morning, and announced his in
tcntion of returning to-day for the purpose of
making longer sojourn i'll our midst. He
will become the guest of Mr.. N. X. Sullivan,
unless that gentleman moves away from home,
which is more than likely, since provisions are
quito scarce, and tho garde" prospects are
ruined by the late freoze

MUNICIPAL REG ULATIONS.

We publish in our issue Of this weok series
of ordinances which were passed by the Town
Council in session on Monday night last. They
relate to all matters necessary for the peace and
welfare of our town, and it is to be hoped that
they will he put in force at once. The Council
have also received from the Secretary of State
a certified copy of the amended Charter of the
Town, passed during the last sitting of the
General Assembly. This amended charter
gives to them the right to commute the SELL
tence of any offender, who may be unable to
pay the fine imposed, to not more than twenty
days hard labor on the public streets. Hereto
fore the Council had only the right to fine and
imprison, but now they are entitled to the ad-
ditional right Of imposing punishment in the
way of labor on the streets, which will have
tendency to deter persons from violating any
of the ordinances; for, while many do not care
for imprisonment, yet they will not relish hard
labor. During the past week, the most dis
graceful conduct was practiced by many, who
did so merely to take advantage of the absence
of ordinances, and vent their spleen upon the
Marshals who had no authority to arrest them !;
but now should they attempt anything OF
like kind, they will have cause to repent OF
their folly.

FIRE.
again.

The large and handsome residence belonging
to the estate Of Mrs. Ann w. hammond de-
ceased, bat occupied by Mr.. S. S. Newell, stu
ated on the Greenville road, about two and
half miles from this place, was destroyed by
fire on Thursday morning last The origin Of
the fire is unknown and purely accidental.
When first discovered the smoke and flames
were issuing from the windows up stairs. Mr.
Newell, who was some distance of, on hearing
the alarm given by the colored persons on the
premises, ran Immediately to the house, and
with the assistance of soIne of his neighbors
and the colorcd men, endeavored to check its
progress, but without any effect, for the fire,
which had begun up-stairs, was under too
great headway to be put out without the aid
of fire engine. In few hours nothing re-
NAMED of the once beautiful residence but
charred and blackened ruins. Mr.. Newell sue
eeeded in saving considerable part of his
furniture, and his loss will not probably exceed
one hundred dollars The loss to the heirs of
the Hammond estate is estimated at about
$500. A quantity Of valuable furniture be-
longing to the late Mrs. Hammond, which had
been locked upstairs for safe-keeping, was also
destroyed in the flames.

PROTRaCT,ED MEETING.

The meetings at the Baptist Church, men
toned in our last issue, have continued up to
been manifested among all classes. Every
night quite a number of persons sought the
prayers of christians in their behalf and large
congregations were constantly III attendance.
Twelve persons have connected themselves
with the Baptist Church, and the ordinance OF
baptism will be administered OH Sunday next,
we presume. Rev. 0. f. Gregory remained
until Monday morning, when he left for his
home in Charleston Rev. j. S. Murray has
been conducting tho meeting alone since that
tnle The services at night will likely contin-
uc throughout the present week.

State Medical Association.

The twenty-6fth annual session of this body
was held in Charleston last week, beginning
on Tuesday morning, and was called to order
BY the President, DR.. James Mcintosh, OF
Newberry. Among the delegates present. we
note the names of Dr. w. II. Nardin and DR..
NJ. G. Parker, who represented the Anderson
Medical Society: The discussions were highly
interesting and profitable to the profession
MANY valuable papers on diseases Of various
characters were submitted by some of the
greater lights. But these doctors did not con-
fine their thoughts entirely to dry subjects
with outlandish names, and right frequently
were the medical visitors recipients of the
kindliest hospitahties from their city brethren.
The election of officers for the ensuing year
was harmonious and satisfactory, resulting as
follows: DR.. J. +. NJ. Geddings, of Charleston,
DR.. E. B. Turnipseed, of Richland, and DR..
L. H. Wright, of Barnwel, were elected Vice
Presidents; DR.. H. D. Fraser, of Charleston,
Recording Secretary; DR.. j. Somers Buist, of
Charleston, Corresponding Secretary; DR.. T.

President serves two years, which leaves DIR.

pointed to attend the meeting of the American
Medical Association, which convenes at Louis

A Word TO Parents.

We cannot refrain from directing the atten-
ton of parents to the demoralized conduct OF
boys in this community. Pernicious influen-
ces are at work which causes them to set at
naught and defiance the eommoness decencies
of life, and on public occasions there is mani
tested an utter want of respect for society in
general The growth and tendency of this
ufons.rous evil in the rising generation has not
attracted our attention just now for the first
time, but from delicate considerations we have
abstained from holding up to the public gaze
the existence of such decentralization amongst
the youth, which will surely lead to worse re-
suits than merely infringing upon the rights
and feelings of other persons. For disregard
ofsacred and holy things is only step removed
Eom open vices and shameless practices, and
we warn our fellow citizens with the utmost
kindness that many of them are unaware of
the danger to- which their sons are subjected,
when they are left to- their own propensities
and free from restraint Of any kind. These
remarks are based mainly upon the indecorous
and rude conduct of certain boys in attendance
upon the night meetings in one of our churches
Such behavior neither reflects credit upon pa
rents or gives promise of future manhood in
our community. The law upon the subject is
exceedingly strict, and religious denominations
are fully justified in invoking the Intervention
of the law when their services are rudely dis
turbed by unthinking persons of any age,
whether or not these violators of decency and
eropriety have reached maturity. 1t would be
well for parents to inquire into the conduct of
their boys, and when permission is given for
them to attend divine service in any church,
TO knoss that they are in proper company and
behaving themselves in q becoming manner
Only sense of duty prompts us to give this
timely warning, for we have no desire to wit
ness and record the arraignment of thoughtless
BOYS for such an offence, when a little prudence
on the part of parents will prevent disgrace
and modification. We feel assured, however,
that forbearance will shortly cease to be a vr-
tue, and we invoke the parental authority to
correct existing evils, without forcing others to
resort to hsrsher methods.

The Recent Cold Weather

The untimely and disastrous freeze which
visited this section on last Saturday seems to
have been quite extensive. The teegraPhlc
reports from New England, the Middle and
Western States indicate great damage to fruits
and early vegetables, and in many instances
heavy SHOWS are reported, making it the coldest
weather known at this season for many years
IN the Southern States the greatest damage
has been inflicted by the frosts and ice, whrch
has Killed fruh corn and potatoes by the
wholesale. The tobacco crop is much injured,
and wheat and cotton are seriously affected in
MANY sections.

DEDICATION.

We are informed that the now house of wor-
ship at Big Creek, one mile from Williamson,
will he dedicated on the first Sabbath i'll May.
Rev. j. r. Graves, d. H., of Memphis, Tenn,
will be present and preach the dedication SER
mon lie will also preach at Big Creek on
Saturday, 1st of May, and at Turkey Creek on
Tu uesday, 4th of May at II o'clock. The dedi-
catory services at Big Creek will be especially
interesting, and will attract large numbers
from tho surrounding country. The building
to be dedicated is one of the best structures of
the kind in this section Of the country, and re-
fleets much credit upon the intelligent commu-
nifty in which it is situated. The brick work
is especially worthy of commentator for its
beauty and completeness. The location Of the
church is close by the old building, which is
to be torn away.

OLD PENDLETON.

The wheat and clover patches around Pen
dlcton are worthy the ancient reputation of
that vicinity ;or improved farming and pro-
grcssive agriculture. The recent cold snap
greatly injured the forward wheat, however.
The icy breath of the adjacent mountains
swept over the town Saturday and Sunday,
and shattered the hopes of amateur farmers
and gardeners. The thermometer was below
the freezing point on Sunday morning, and Ice
was visible until towards noon.
There is not much improvement In archtec-
ture about the ancient burg. Many of it's his
toric buildings are standing idle and unoccu-
pied. The population neither increases or de-
creascs to any great extent, and the town looks
much the same as twenty years ago.
The most notable improvement is the excel
lent arrangement for ginning and packing cot
ton, owned and operated by our friend, A. J.
Sitton. His machinery is propelled by one Of
Tozer's best engines, and with Emory's gin
and condenser, to which is attached Halls self
feeding apparatus, an immense business is car
ried on with safety and dispatch. Our ginners
might receive instruction from visit and in-
spection of these arrangements
The municipal regulations Of Pendleton arc
admirable. The calaboose is prominent fea-
ture of the public square, and violators of the
municipal law are safely lodged in the second
story, from which egress is next to impossible
until the doors are unlocked, as the only VEN
tilation is a hole in the wall twenty feet above
the ground. The Lord Mayor and the Chief
Justice are supplied with offices in the base
ment story, where offenders can obtain justice
most conveniently.
! One Of the best arranged stores in the up
country is located in Pendleton. It belongs to
the Masonic fraternity, and is occupied by
Smith, Sloan 81 Poe, whose example of neat
ness and perfect order merits imitation.
Among the attractions of Pendleton, next to
the ladies themselves, we would mention tho
flower gardens and greenhouse plants, show
ing taste in selection and careful cultivation.
We invaded the premises Of one lady, who was
absent from the town, and made an inspection
of greenhouse plants grown under her SUPER
vision, which evidences much care bestowed
and intelligent culture. A boquet can be gath
cred at any time from this choice and beautiful
selection.
Times changes have not effaced.the courtly
hospitality Of generous people, whose memo
ries and traditions are connected with the ear
lier and brighter days of the commonwealth.
We always enjoy visit among them, and will
assuredly accept the cordial invitations to come
| again.

The town Of Charlotte, N c.. has been
the sufferer by one of the most disastrous fires
of the season. The fire broke out at two o'clock
on last Friday afternoon, on the cotton plat
form of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
and the Richmond and Danville Railroads.
The flames extended rapidly, and soon de-
stroyed the warehouses of both roads, consnm-
ing about 5000 bales of cotton. The engines
odos dd nE p en s5fst Ss i%I @I c "S @ w If be
light. Besides these, however, eighteen other
buildings belonging to private parties were de-
stroyed. The total loss is estimated at $780,
OOO most of which is covered by insurance.

S7yNDA SCHOOL ASSOCIATION.

This body convenes with the Baptist Church
tomorrow (Friday) at eleven o'clock. con-
siderable number of delegates are expected,
and ample arrangements are already made for
their entertainment The discussion Of topics
connected with Sunday Schools will form the
principal business. Essays and speeches from
able writer's and competent speakers will be
interspersed through the proceedings. We re-
grct to learn that Rev. l.. b. Fish, of Atlanta,
will not he present during tho meeting. He is
said to be an earnest, attractive speaker, full OF
jealous devotion to the Sunday School cause,
and u charming singer withal. Others will
take his place, however, and we trust that all
interested in the cause will lend encourage
mcnt by their presence OH the occasion.

Another Cotton Factory.

The Abbeville Press and Banner is authority
for the statement that number OF Oranges IN
Abbeyille, Laurens and Anderson are coutem-
plating the erection of cotton factory at
Erwins Mills, on the Saluda River. We agree
with our contemporary that this is move in
the right direction, and one from which sub
stantial results may be realized, both to the
country and to those most directly engaged in
the enterprise. Mr.. Erwin has offered the site
and water-power as gift to the proposed COM
pany, which would be worth something like
$4,000 to the stockholders, and is exceedingly
liberal on the part of its present owner. This
idea of Oranges uniting in the erection of cot
ton factories is not entirely new with the pro-
posed company. Indeed, the principle of CO.
operation which lies at the foundation of the
Grange organization points most certainly to
the aggregation of individual means for the
general good. The lack of capital among the
Southern people has greatly retarded the
growth of such enterprises in our midst since
the war, and it has been frequently urged that
only by the united efforts of small capitalists
might beginning be made, which would even
tually bring the South to full realization of
its capacity to manufacture the cotton raised
exclusively In this section. Water power is
cheap and abundant; labor is plentiful and
cheaper than elsewhere; our climate is milder,
and the necessary expenses OF living are les
seued in consequence; the raw material is
ready at hand, and can be furnished directly
by, the producer, without the Intervention OF
third parties All things point favorably to-
wards the farmers and planters of the South
using their surplus means in cotton manufac-
turing. While many of the largest factories
in the Northern States have been compelled to
suspend or shorten operations during the recent
financial pressure, the figures demonstrate the
fact that Southern factories as general rule
are making money and declaring handsome
dividends The only method of enlarging the
business in the cotton region readily and quick
ly is by cooperation among the people. The
Grange affords the most suitable avenue to
reach the farmer in this effort to develop man
ufacturing interests. Here is the opportunity
to concentrate energy and capital, and by en-
listing its organization in practical develop
ment of our resources, the strongest incentive
will bind the membership together, and render
the order more popular and permanent as q
benefcent institution, working for the common
good of the entire community. Hence, we re-
joice to note the present movement for the
establishment of cotton factory at Erwin's
Mills, and trust that the originators will moi
suffer an enterprise of such magnitude and
Importance to languish and die for lack OF
energetic effort and steady perseverance Ou'
columns are freely offered to advance the
movement, and we shall be pleased to hear
further in regard to the proposed enterprise.

Southern Baptist Convention.

It gives us pleasure to state that arrange
ments have been made by which round trip
tickets will be sold, commencing on the 1st of
May, to- all persons wishing to attend the
Southern Baptist Convention, which meets in
Charleston on the 9Th of May. These tickets
will be good to return at any time thereafter,
and will be for sale at all the principal stations
on the Greenville and Columbia and the Blue
Ridge Railroads. The price of the ticket from
Anderson and return is S11.S0, which will ena-
BILE many persons to attend the meeting, and
enjoy a pleasant excursion to the city. Col
Dodamead deserves the thanks Of the commu-
nifty for this liberal arrangement.
