srABBIEG AFFRAY.

On last Saturday night stabbing affray
occurred near the residence of Mr.. r. l..
Campbell, in which a man named George
Morgan was dangerously, if not fatally,
stabbed. The wounded man, Milton
Ganbrell, r. L. Campbell and perhaps
some others were at Mr.. CampbelPs
house, and there was no unkind feeling
whatever manifested during the evening.
At about ten o'clock Messrs. Morgan and
Gambrell left the house. Some distance
from the house Mr.. James Erskine saw
tWo men on the road engaged in difh-
Guilty in which one seemed to be stabbing
the other, as he saw the glittering of
steel in the moon light. He with others
went tc the place and found Morgan upon
the ground stabbed in the throat and
temple. The next day knife with blood
upon it,was found inthe field on the side
of the road where the difficulty occurred,
and the wounded man charges that Mil
ton Gambrell did the stabbing. 1t is but
lust to Mr.. Gainbrell to state that he
denies all knowledge of the affair. At
last accounts the wounded man was alive,
though it was not expected that he could
racover

DEATH OF MIR. JOSEPH PROVOST.

We are panied to announce the death
of Mr.. Joseph Provost, which occurred
quite suddenly on last Sabbath night
from neuralgia of the heart. He had
been in his usual health until within a
few days of his death, though he was not
confined to his bed nor threatened with
any serious sickness until after he retired
on the night of his death. Mr.. Provost
was an influential and highly respected
citizen of cur town, and one of the most
systematic and successful planters Of our
County. He was one of the few persons
in our midst who have united the theo-
retical and practical in agriculture with
mark ed success. He was in his seven
tieth year, having attained the age of
sixty-nine on the 3rd day of October
last.
Mr.. Provost was native of Charleston
and resided in that city up to the year
1862, at which time he was driven from,
the home of his nativity by the misfor-
tunes of the Confederate arms, by which
large numbers of the Charlestonians
were compelled to leave their homes to
seek refuge in the interior of our State
from the invading forces of the North,
which threatened destruction to their
city. Mr.. Provost settled in Anderson
County at that time, and remained citi-
zen in our midst up to the time Of his
death. He was kind-hearted and pub
lic-spirited gentleman, who had made
many friends in his new home.
His remains were inferred in the Pres
byterian Church yard on last Monday
afternoon, the funeral ceremony being
conducted by Rev. II. T. Gregory, of the
Episcopal Church.

"A. II. Stephens continues in very
feeble state from disease in one Of his
lungs. Though he eats and sleeps we'll
he does not regain his strength. 1t is
feared he will not be able to take his seat
in Congress during the present session.
Judge James Johnson, who will be
remembered as the Provisional Governor
of Georgia under President Johnson, has
announced himself as an independent
candidate for Governor on the platform
of principles embodied in Grants Des
Moines speech and message to Congress.
Congress proposes to reduce the
army to force Of only $1,000 men, thus
saving to the government annually SS,-
100000. This immense sum of money
has, up to the present time, been spent
every year in upholding the carpet bag
governments at the South, and the coun-
try is becoming anxious to unload"
1t is learned that the late Vice Presi-
dent Wilson had concluded his volumi-
nous work on the rise and fall of the
slave power with the exception of three
or four chapters. The material for these
was " left in the hands of the Rev. Samuel
Hunt, of Natick, Mass, Mr.. Wilson's
private secretary, who will complete the
work.
- Edgefield Advertiser In view of
the rascality developed by low men in
high places, let the honest voters of the
country everywhere resolve to knock
down and stamp the very first fellow
that asks for an office. A stern policy
like this might purify the political at
mosphere, and give us such govern
ment as was contemplated by Washing
ton and his compatriots.
= Edgefield Advertiser The spring
like weather is never-ending topic of
wonder, and of conversation. So long
has it lasted in Edgeield, that our hills,
valleys and fields are literally covered
with green grass. On Monday last, the
heat of the SUN was actually sickening.
AS we stood on the Court House steps
taking notes of the land sales, we were
actually struck with strong desire to
"go in q washing"

wish to make them happy, contented
and prosperous. Mr.. Crayton's success
in the use of immigrant labor is due to
the tact with which he manages them,
and the consideration he always mani
tests in their behalf. They are all devo-
ted to him and their labor is satisfactory
and remunerative. Other persons by
similar course towards them can be
equally as successful. They appreciate
kindness and persons who treat them
well soon gain their confidence and good
will. We are glad to know that persons
who have secured immigrants through
Mr.. Crayton are we'll pleased with them,
and we would urge our people to 10 all
that is in their power to assist in build
ing up our country by bringing out di-
rect from Germany, whenever they can
afford to do so, immigrants in as large
numbers as may be needed.

"A NEW YEAR FESTIVAL.

On Saturday, the 1st inst, which was
New Years Day, Mr.. B. F. Crayton,
with the kindness and consideration for
which he is noted, gave holiday festival
to the German families upon his planta-
ton. All the German immigrants in the
County were invited, and quite num-
her of them were present. They seemed
to enjoy themselves exceedingly much,
and spent the greater portion Of the day,
from the morning up to II o'clock at
night, in dancing. 1t is quite entertain
ing to see tie pleasure this amusement
,ffords them. They dance only round
dances and all, from the Oldest to very
small children, enter into this anuse-
nent with smiling faces and inexhausti-
BILE energy. They really love it, and
display powerful endurance of violent
exercise which is far above that of Amer
leans. Mr.. Crayton did everything in
his power to afford them pleasure and
amusement. The furnishing Of an abun-
dance of lager beer was highly apprecia-
tod. and served to enliven them during
tho whole entertainment. Probably a
hundred and fifty or more of our citizens
from different parts of the County were
present during the day, and very few
escaped being compelled to try the dance
for few moments, at least. There were
about forty immigrants upon Mr.. Cray
toms place and some thirty-five from
other plantations in the County, making
about seventy-five in all. Everything
nassed off pleasantly, and the best OF
order and kind feeling prevailed through
the entire day. -,
This is the way our citizens should
trent their immigrant laborers if they

ALABAMA GOLD LIFE INSURANCE COM
PANY.-The advertisement of this insur-
ance company appears in our columns,
and we desire to direct the attention of
persons contemplating life insurance to
it's advantages and business. The off,
GERS Of the company are warmly COM
mended for their sagacity, prudence and
skill in the management of its affairs,
and to-day it's business reaches from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande, while the
stock is above par, the dividends hand
some and satisfactory to the stockholders,
and the payment of claims always prompt
standing the crucial test by singular
fairness in the adjustment of its losses.
Since the company was inaugurated in
1869, there has been paid out $4OO, 900 in
death claims, and its policies now mum.
Der nearly six thousand, while its cash
capital amounts to SSO0,000. The con-
tract for life insurance is one Of the most
sacred that can be made between man
and man, as it deals with the most holy
affections and sympathies of the human
heart. 1t is bargain to be fulfilled in
honor, after the principal contractor has
gone out of life. Hence, in choosing the
company in which to repose this solemn
trust, one cannot be too careful to exer-
else prudence and judgment in making
the selection, so as to make certain that
it's management will protect his interests.
This guarantee is abundantly afforded by
tho Alabama Gold Life, and to the people
of Anderson this company has been IA
vorably introduced by Gen. Stephen D.
Lee, who is so we'll known amongst them
for exalted character and business quail
fications. A local Board of Directors
was organized last summer, and Capt.
a. Waties is the authorized agent of the
company. He is engaged in canvassing
the country at this time, and will take
pleasure in explaining the condition,
prospects and reliability of the company
to any desiring insurance.

BRIEF MENTION.

If you have favor to ask OF an editor'
don't forget to shut the door alter you
when entering his office.
Have any of the ladies recollected that
this is leap year? Several timid youths
in this vicinity are anxious to know.
1t is stated by weather observers that
the late spell of spring-like weather Is
similar to that usually experienced every
seventeen years, and that the same char
acter of weather prevailed in 1859.
The Piedmont Factory will be in oper-
atiol. two weeks hence, and it is proposed
to have a grand pic mic in honor OF tne
event. Col. Hammett has pushed TINS
great enterprise amid many difficulties
in the financial world, and deserves I'M
mense credit for his able management.
Charles Sullivan, the man who mur-
dered ]. Newton Cox at Greenville IN
October last, was arrested in Spartanburg
on last Saturday by Capt. Alley, who
conveyed his prisoner to the Greenvlile
iail. Sullivan is desperate character,
and was engaged in stealing horse when
he was arrested. -i1., =
On Saturday afternoon Mr.. Calhoun
Clinkscales met with an unfortunate ac-
cident by which he lost his life. While
driving in his buggy on his way home
from Bolton, he lost his hat and in an
effort to catch it, fell out Of the buggy in
such a way as to pull his horse back so
as to step on his stomach, thereby infiict-
ing wound from which he died at about
10 o'clock on Saturday night at the resi-
dence of his father, Mr.. Reuben Clink-
scales.
In the most primitive days it was re-
cognized as truth that in order to do
business a merchant must be known.
The first efforts consisted in selecting
store in a public thoroughfare and put
ting up an attractive sign. These meth
DDS were effective only in attracting
the attention of passers-hy. With the
growth of journalism q merchant was for
the first time enabled to address an au-
dience not only in his own vicinity, but
at all points from which trade could be
attracted; so that card in newspaper
became the most effective salesman, who
said precisely the right thing in the best
manner, and whose activity could not be
measured. A card in the newspaper OF
to-day is missionary year hence.
