has left behind. Her remains were inferred
in. .Ebenezer Churchyard on Friday, after
solemn services, attended by a large congrc-

There is to be meeting Of the citizens OF
Hopewell township, at Hopewell Baptist
Church, on next Friday at 2 o'clock p. M,
for the purpose of considering the means Of
establishing q school of high grade in some
suitable portion of the township. Several
gentlemen have expressed their willingness
to subscribe one hundred dollars each to-
wards the building, and 1t is intended to
raise about $1,000 for the building, and to
secure the services Of thoroughly compe-
tent teachers. This is a move in the right
direction, and we hope:the design will be
accomplished. Every township in the
County should have q high school. 1T
would contribute greatly to the advance
ment OF education, and thereby to the so
cial and business prosperity of our County.

EoPEWELL.

Last Sunday was day at Hopewell to be
marked with monument of white stone.
On that day the services of two weeks
meeting closed in the Baptist Church. The
entire services were conducted by the pas
tor, Rev. E. R. Carswell, jr. Early in the
morning people began to collect from all
directions, and by 10 o'clock several hun
dred had encircled the baptismal pool to
witness the rite of baptism as administered
by this denomination of Chistians. The
candidates, numbering ffty-two, assembled
in the Church, and at the appointed hour
moved in procession to the pool. A short
preliminary service was held, after which,
and in less than twenty-one minutes, the
above number had been baptised. Of this
number we observed that thirty-three were
gentlemen and nineteen were ladies. AL
most every stage of life, from twelve to three
score and ten years, was represented. We
noticed man with frosted locks who offer
ed his wife, then all his children of mature
age and then submitted to the rite himself.
Husbands and wives, in several instances,
passed down together into this symbolic
death. The first and last of the candidates
baptised were accidentally the two Oldest
men of the number The last was grand
father, who had been preceded by wife
and nine of ten children in coming out from
the world. This service ending, the congre-
cation assembled before the stand in the
church yard. The ..ewly baptised members
were seated in semi-circular form in front of
the preacher. The burden of the sermon
was specially directed to them, and abound
ed in advice and warnings, prompted by
these inspired words: Because have you
in my heart" Another service was held at
night, which exceeded any of the previous
in solemnity and earnestness. Thus ended
the meeting. Sixty-fve were added to the
Church, and twelve or more hopeful con-
versions, which promised to unite with this
and other Churches as soon as opportunity
may allow, with scores of seekers, are only
part of the results of this revival occasion.
.... An Educational Association is in pro-
cess of formation looking to the erection of
High School in our midst. Capt. B. Q.
Martin is the President and ]. R. Guyton is
Secretary. A committee was appointed to
look out q suitable location, and are re-
quested to report to an adjourned meeting

Editor anderson Iatelligencer
s1R-Your reporter Of the game. of base
ball played here on the Path ult., between
the Anderson and Pendleton Base Ball
Clubs, evidently intended to inform your
numerous readers of the birth places and
residences of the inhabitants Of Pndleton
Village, and not of the Pendletofs: Base Ball
Club. - -. 80
The "citizen of Great Britain" to whom
he refers has resided in America twenty
years-nine of them in Pendleton-and did
not play on that occasion. The gentleman
from Charlottesville" attends college there,
but is resident of Pendleton, and has been
one the greater part of his life. The 'gen-
tleman from Charleston" was born in Pen
dleton, resides here, and was member of
the Club before the challenge from your
"senior nine" was received. The gentle
man from Columbia was born in Pendle-
ton, and eight of the few years he. has seen
were passed amid the hills and hollows of
old Pendleton. Lastly, in regard to the
gentleman from Savannah" the only way.
he contributed to the close result of that
game was by holding an umbrella over the
heads of the scorers, for which service I
hope the said scorers are truly thankful.
He was not member of the Club, and did
not play that day. Valuable as his services
were subsequent events have proved that
the Pendleton Nine could dispense with
them. Now, Mr.. Editor, it is not surpris-
ing that your reporter should perform his
task in such an unsatisfactory manner, as
at times, there is no doubt, he found it very
difficult, indeed, to realize that the diminu-
tive Nine of the Pendleton Club could play
so close game with the representatives of
Anderson manhood, but about that time
coming events were casting their shadows
before" ..,.. ,...

THE FENCE QUESTION.

Mr.. EDITOR Now that a decision and an
important era has been reached by Anderson
County on the fence question, would it not
be the part of wisdom and good faith to-
wards other portions of the County for the
objecting townships to yield cheerfully their
objections to the law, and unite their inter-
ests with the large majority. Of the town-
ships on the fence as on all other questions
affecting us all alike as citizens Of Anderson
County, The opposition generally was not
so much to the general principles involved
as to the details of the proposed law. AS it
is certain that the. necessary amendments
will be promptly made by the next Legisla-
ture, and as it is clearly the ascertained wish
of a, large majority of the townships to
make the proposed change in our fence
laws, and as the proposed change can be
made at much less expense by fencing In
the whole County than a fraction Of the
same, let petitions go up from the objecting
townships to the Legislature asking an
amendment to the law, authorizing the
COuQCy SOmLulSslO1CIS w p1oIS0A oo ohSS
to fence in the whole County. By so doing
we prove to our fellow-citizens in other
portions of the County our desire and wish
for the best Interests of the County, not
withstanding our difference of opinion as
to the best plan for advancing those inter
ests.. We are rather encouraged to make
this public suggestion because in conference
with James Mullikin, Esq, of Garvin
township, who strenuously opposed the
proposed fence law on the township plan,
as did many others, but was always willing
to go into it by the County. This old and
patriotic gentleman proposes to head a petit
ton Of the kind proposed, and use all his
influence to procure signatures in his town.
ship. Let the other townships do likewise,
and Anderson County will still be the BAN
ner County of the State, on the fence ques-
ton as well as all other questions. ~ e

REAL ESTATE AGENCY.

j We would ask the attention of the land
owners of our County to the card of Messrs.
Simpson, Orr & Co., which appears in this
issue. This firm, consisting of Messrs. R.
W. Simpson, James L. Orr and G.. ]. Has
call, have for some time past been prosecut-
ing the business of real estate agents with
considerable success, but for lack of the CO.
operation of persons having land for sale,
they have been able to do very little in the
way Of securing immigration. If the peo-
pie Of, this County who have land for sale
would put it into the hands of these gentle
men, they would not only stand better
chance Df selling it, but would also enable
them to offer greater inducements to per-
sons from distance, who may desire to
buy property in our midst. While it is a
business enterprise on the part of these gen
tlemen, it is also movement of public i'm
portance, and deserves Tie hearty co-opera-
ton of our people.

THosr FRAUDULENT VOTERS.

Nothing has as yet been done towards
bringing the perjured voters in the late
Town election to justice. The Circuit Court
meets on Monday week, and the committee
appointed by the Democratic Club should
proceed to take out warrants for every one
of them forthwith. The mere fact that we
have secured the seating Of the rightfully
elected Intendant is not enough to satisfy
our people, we believe They want the
criminals who tried to steal this Office from
our people by their fraudulent votes pun
ished, to prevent a repetition of the crime
and to warn others against trying it in the
future. We hobe the committee will pro-
ceed to business at once, and that their
efforts will forever hereafter rid Anderson of
the nuisance of fraudulent elections.

BASE BALL MATCH.

The first return game was played between
the Anderson and Pendl"ton Base Ball
Clubs on the grounds of the former Club on
last Friday afternoon, beginning at 4oclock
and lasting over two and half hours. The
game was only interesting from the fact
that it was the second in series for cham
pionship, as the Anderson boys played with
less life than we have ever seen them, which
was due to the fact, no doubt, that they
were more interested in watching the beau
tiful ladies of Pendleton and Anderson, who
had assembled upon the grounds, than they
were in playing base ball. 1t may be also
that they wish to return the courtesy of al
lowing their visitors to be the victors, but it
is certain that they did not near come up to
their usual standard, and when the score
was announced it stood as follows:

We had call on Wednesday morning
from Mr.. Tlman R. Gaines, who is travelling
in the interest of his immigration agency,
and told US that he would deliver lecture
in the Court House at " o'clock p. m. on
that day upon the subject of immigration.
Mr.. Gaines represents his agency as having
lattering prospects, and tells of good work
already done in the cause. He is sending
out none but men with capital, and hence
the work. he accomplishes is permanent
benefit to the country. We hope he will
receive abundant encouragement from our
people, and that he will be able TO land
many thrifty immigrants into this County.
