TOWN MEETING.

The American Fire Extinguisher has
been on exhibition in Anderson for the past
few days. A meeting of the Town Council
was held in the Court House on Tuesday
evening at which the citizens were requested
to be preseut. The experiments of the
agent, Mr.. Tryon, of Charleston, were very
satisfactory in extinguishing flames, and o
committee from the citizens and board of
trade reported favorably upon this class of
fire extinguishers, stating that it would
effect considerable reduction in insurance
for the town to own an engine, but that
they made no recommendation. After
much wrangling discussion, the few citizens
who remained passed resolution request
ing the Council to leave the purchase of an
extinguisher to vote of the citizens of the
town. The engine which it is contemplated
to purchase will cost nine hundred dollars.
1t has capacity of seventy-five gallons of
water, which will generate three thousand
gallons of carbonic acid gas, which has an
extinguishing power equal to eighteen thou
sand gallons of water. Our citizens should
inform themselves as to the merit of this
engine, to be able to vote intelligibly upon
its purchase if the question is submitted to
the voters of the town.

ANOTHER MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT

We learn that most distressing and fatal
accident occurred in the Dark Corner on
Thursday last, which almost beggars de-
scription for its sadness and horror. 1t ap-
pears that son of Mr.. James Simpson, .
lad of nine or ten years of age, went to
the we'll for the purpose of drawing water.
The we'll was not securely covered, and
when the little fellow drew up the bucket
and attempted to catch hold of it, he missed
his footing and fell head-long into the well,
which is about forty-five feet in depth. His
mother heard the noise, and made the dis
covery that her son had fallen into the we'll.
Upon going to his assistance, she ascer-
tanned that he was alive and attempted to
draw him up by the rope, but when he got
near to the mouth of the well, her hold upon
the windlass was slackened and for the
second time he fell again to the bottom. By
this time the father came to the relief Of the
mother, and concluded not to trust to the
windlass, but to draw the little fellow up by
the rope itself in his own hands, and when
he had succeeded in bringing the brave boy
nearly to the surface, the grasp of the child
upon the rope was relaxed, and he fell back
for the third time. Of course, life was ex-
tinct when his body was recovered. This is
one of the most distressing and melancholy
occurrences We have ever known, and We
deeply sympathize with the unfortunate pa
rents, who were compelled to witness the
narrowing scene.

DEATH OF MISS PARKER.

Our readers will regret to learn that Miss
Emma Parker, whose unfortunate accident
we announced last week, died on last Satur-
day morning, at about 10 o'clock, from the
effect of her injuries. Her father, mother
and two sisters had been her constant at
tendants for several days previous to her
death, and rendered every kindness and at
tention which it was possible for profess
sional skill or tender love to administer for
the alleviation of her suffering, which,
though intense, she bore with marked
patience and christian resignation until
death ended them. The manner in which
she caught fire is mystery, and must ever
remain so, as she herself was unable to give
any account of it.

All ministers are required to report next
fall the amount of salary promised and
amount actually paid. Churches to be held
responsible next spring for failure to take
up. any of the Assembly collections. The
Clerk was instructed to procure one copy OF
the minutes of the General Assembly for
each minister licentiate and clerk Of ses-
sion.
The foregoing synopsis embraces the more
important business transacted during the
meeting of Presbytery, which continued
through Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
closing after public worship on Saturday
night. Each day an hour or more of the
morning session was devoted to religious
exercises, consisting of singing, praying and
brief addresses. Sermons were delivered on
Thursday night by Rev. j. L. Martin and
on Saturday night by Rev. J. R. Jacobs.
The order of exercises for the Sabbath
were highly interesting and attracted large
congregations. The different pulpits were
occupied as follows: Presbyterian Church
eleven o'clock o. M, Rev. F. Jacobs, D. D.,
of Cokesbury; eight o'clock p. m, Rev. J.
o. Lindsay, of Due West. Baptist Church
eleven a. m, Rev. A. L. Miller, of Abbeville;
eight p. m, Rev. Thos. H. Law, of Spartan
burg. Methodist Church-eleven n. m,
Rev. w. F. Pearson, of Due West.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, mass
meeting of the Sunday Schools was held in
the Presbyterian Church. and the house was
filled to overfowing with bright, happy
faces. In addition to the customary exer-
cises, an address was delivered by Rev. W.
P. Jacobs, of Clinton, in Laurens County,
which was replete with pointed expressions,
appropriate anecdotes by way of illustra-
ton, and impressive lessons for the young.
His talk was exceedingly well adapted for
the occasion, and we were impressed with
the idea that he is one of the few men gifted
with superior talent for instructing chill
dren in public address. -
The members and delegates were body
of fine-looking, intelligent and earnest men,
and the citizens of our town esteemed it a
privilege to open their hearts and homes to
them. Each days exercises were attended
by respectable number of visitors, who
seemed deeply interested in the proceedings.
Altogether, we will express the general
opinion in saying that the meeting of the
South Carolina Presbytery has been warmly
appreciated by our people generally.

ANOTHER HOME INsTITUTIoE.-We most
cordially invite attention to the advertise
ment of the Grangers' Life and Health In
surance Company. The South Carolina de-
partment of this company was organized by
Captain B. J. Curry, General Manager, at
the parlor of the Columbia Hotel, on the 5th.
This company united in its organization
many of the very best business men of the
country, men whom the people respect for
capacity and integrity. The names of the
officers and directors, which may be seen in
another column, at once suggests success of
the highest order. This life insurance COM
pany has, within few months, taken a
place in the first ranks of insurance compa-
nies of this country. It's popularity with all
classes of business men is great, and its sue
cess is unprecedented. This is accounted for
only by its basis of organization, and the
prudence with which its business has been
conducted Its rates are based upon mortu-
ary tables, backed by a heavy cash capital,
and protected from blunders in business by
strict charter and constitutional adherence
to the plans of insurance which have been
approved by the experience of the oldestand
most successful companies of the country.
1t makes no experiments with new, untried
plans for the sake of popularity. With such
basis as this, backed by large capital, kept
and loaped in the State and with such ele-
ments of popularity in its organization, this
company deserves the consideration and pat
ronage of our people. There is no longer
any reason why we should invest money
with unknown, foreign companies A safe
policy is necessity. No man can make
better investment of his money than to take
policy in this company, managed by his
neighbors and friends.

Judge Mackey, in his charge to the grand

he used this language, and his usual luck
will enable him to escape the wrathful in
tentions of the Lancaster jurors.

MEssRs. EDITORS Our Democratic Club
at Bethany is in healthy condition. We
hold monthly meetings regularly, and the
people are waking up to the Importance of
the Democratic party. We met on the Sth
inst, and decided in favor of the plan of
primary elections, but believe that many
people do not understand the naodus operandi
of the primary election plan, and as some
think it will produce too much scattering
OF votes in that section, will venture q
suggestion, which think will obviate that
thing, and will produce unity of action on
the day of the primary election, and have O
tendency to bring out the strongest men as
the nominees of our party: First, about two
months before the primary election, let
every Club in the County meet and make
nominations; send up that nomination to
the County Club at Anderson. Let that
Club compare the nominations of all the
clubs, and find out who are the most promi-
nent men for each office in the County, pub
lish the same, so that everybody may know
on the day of the primary election who are
likely to be the choice of the people and
most available men in the whole County.
Then, on the day of the primary election,
one club will know who is likely to be voted
for in all the other clubs. Let the County
Club at the same time it publishes the result
of the primary nominations of the different
clubs order all the subordinate clubs on
certain day to hold primary elections, and
to send up the result of that election to the
County Club at Anderson. Let that Club
count every vote polled at the primary elec-
ton by all the subordinate clubs for the
prominent men, and the man that has re-
ceived the highest vote for any one office in
the County collectively, be declared the
nominee of the Democratic party for office.
Then all true Democrats should vote for
that man and vote for no other.
