night in Greengille, is said to have been
very fine production, abounding with valu-
able, practical suggestions and hits upon
the subject of Work" From the amount

We had the pleasure of call on last Sat
urday from Mr.. T. D.. Kennedy, late editor
ofthe Blackville Ne,cs Mr.. Kennedy is at
present visiting his father at this place, and
purposes remaining in Anderson some
weeks. He is evidently enjoying excellent
health, and therefore has no cause for COM
plant against the low country, though he
slightly prefers the mountainous belt OF our
State during the summer months.
A runaway scrape was caused by the care
lessness of drivers at the Baptist Church on
last Thursday. The frightened horse dashed
off at fearful speed carrying draw with
him and passing down a street crowded
with persons, and passed on without dam
age until the vehicle struck Mr.. Murphy's
dray, and the horse loosed in the smash
up. The dray was considerably damaged,
but the horse escaped without injury. This
should serve as warning to drivers where
there are numerous vehicles, to be more
cautious in running into or against one an
other. There is no excuse for such reckless
ness.

Capt. Dickson was about seventy years old,
and though his health was at times feeble,
he retained to the last of his life more than
the usual vigor for men of his years. He
was one of the old teachers of the County,
and yedrs ago, in his younger days, he was
noted for the precision and thoroughness
with which he trained the youthful mind.
He ranked especially high as mathema-
tician among his fellow teachers. Capt
Dickson leaves numerous scholars who,
with relatives and friends, cherish his
memory and regret his decease.
