We regret 70 announce the death of little
Rosa May, daughter of Mr.. William M.
Osborne, which occurred on last Sunday
morning. A bright child of fifteen months
she was the idol of her fathers household,
but earth was not her home, and death trans
planted the little flower to bloom forever
more in Heaven.
Messrs. Leak g. Moss advertise that they
now have large and we'll selected stock OF

have fine arrangements for securing their
stock on the most advantageous terms and

The protracted meeting in the Baptist
Church closed on last Saturday. On Sun
day morning the usual communion service
of the church was administered, and on Sab
bath afternoon three additional converts of
the meeting were baptized in, Rocky River.
This number made sixteen in all who joined
the church during this meeting.
Our valued correspondent from Honea
Path, Mr.. William Lee, has gone to the
mountains of North Carolina with the pur-
pose of recreating for few weeks. Al
though we in common with our readers will
miss his interesting dots for a few times, we
wish him a very pleasant sojourn, and hope
he may find cooler climate than he has
left behind him.
Yesterday, the Fourth of July, passed off
without any demonstration in Anderson.
The exercises of the Carolina Collegiate In-
stitute were suspended for the day, and the
students were gratiied by having o holiday.
This College is in aourishing condition,
and both patrons and students were pleased
at its Observance of the glorious fourth.
The fence law discussion which came Off
near Mountain Spring Church on last Sat-
urday was very interesting affair. Quitea
number of white and colored voters were
present, and entertaining and convincing
speeches in favor of the new law were made
by Messrs. William and Jeptha Harper, B.
F. Crayton and w. w. Russell. 1t is
thought the result of the; meeting will be
favorable for the change.
Some of the opponents of the fence law
are endeavoring to induce influential men
not to take sides on the fence law question
by threatening never to vote for any man
who favors the change. Go ahead, friends,
and intimidate every one you can, and,
whenever you have bulldozed any man out
ofexpressing his honest views, you may pu.
it down as settled fact that he is not worth
vote for any Office.
The attention of our readers is respectfully
asked to the advertisement of Mr.. John B.
Watson. The Kentucky Mill and Chap
mans Perpetual Evaporator is one of the
very best for the manufacture of Sorghum.
The merit of these mills is attested by the
published cards from Rev. julius r. Earle
and Mr. Peter r. Brown, both of whom are
we'll known to our readers as intelligent
and reliable gentlemen. See advertisement.
Anderson Division, No. l. Sons of Tenn
perance, is in fourishing condition.
Twelve petitions for membership were re-
ceived on last Thursday night from promi-
nent gentlemen of this town, and their
initiation will take place at the meeting
tonight. The other divisions of the County
are also represented as in prosperous con-
dition. A little more interest on the part
of members will still further increase the
good work of securing recruits for the teni-
perance army.
The idea that Governor Hampton is re-
sponsible for the fence law is entirely with
out foundation. Neither he nor the Legis-
lature have committed any crime about this
matter that we can perceive. They simply
allow the people to say whether they want
to change the fence laws or not. 1t would
have been presumptuous tyranny for them
to have refused to allow the people o right
to say whether they wish to change the
plan OF, fencing in any county in the State
