DEATH OF REV. a. AcKER.

We regret to record the death Of Rev. A.
Acker, an excellent and useful citizen of
Greenville County, who was well known
and much beloved by many persons in this
County. Mr.. Acker was born on the 11th
day of August, 1903, in Anderson County,
and died on the evening of Wednesday the
18th inst, at his residence, after short ILL
ness, having attained the advanced age of
little more than seyenty-fve years. He
was married in 1924 to Miss Mourning Gar
rison, daughter of Capt. Charles Garrison,
Of Greenville County, and soon afterwards
removed to Greenville County, within o
mile Of his fathers residence in this County,
and has remained at the same place ever
since. He Joined the Baptist Church in
1882, and wa, ordained to the ministry in
1886, and has been an influential and useful
servant Of the Gospel. He was meek,
amiable and intelligent gentleman of great
charity and benevolence towards the needy,
and with the uttermost liberality and
brotherly kindness towards all denomina-
tions, and was therefore justly popular and
beloved by all with whom he came in con-
tact. His family have the sincerest SYM
pathy Of friends and acquaintance in their
bereavement.

HELP THE WESTERN SUFFERERS.

Mn. EDITOR: You suggested collection
in every Church for the yellow fever sufferers,
and this, I believe, has been acted on in
some congregations. But there arc two
objections to this plan-one that the
Churches have many other collections, and
the other that many benevolent persons
would not bs reached in this way. Itseoms to
mo Anderson County, as such, should move
in this matter. 1t Is the abode OF health
and comparative prosperity. 1t owes some
acknowledgment Of special character for
the goodness Of God in this respect. There
ought to be COMMITTEES in every township
Of Anderson County to solicit benefactions
from every family. earnestly hope that
the Mayor or Interdant Of your County
seat will appoint q central committee, and
let that committee appoint sub committees
in every township; or let the Intendant
himself directly make these appointments
any way that will set the streams Of County
benevolence flowing, and that quickly.

H0KEA PATH.

In the statement of funds collected for tho
benefit Of fever sufferers, published last
week, the contribution from Shady Grove
Church ($3.SO) was omitted. Additional
collections: Fletcher Shirley 25 cents, Miss
J. E. Wilson 25 cents...".The committee
composed Of members representing the diff
ferent congregations, having charge of the
grave yard, give notice that some members
of the committee must be consulted before
making interments or in anyway obstruct-
ing the walks. Some much needed work
has been done on the yard......C. E. Harper
has recently put up in front of his gin
house large platform scale. He can now
weigh cotton by the wagon load. DR..
Hudgens will soon put up like con-
venience in front of his gin.

& CARD.

The assertion being made by certain par
ties that the McSmith Music House is
nothing but sub-agents is huge mistake
We are wholesale dealers, and are protected
by the factories we represent, and sell of
retail factory prices. We are no little SUBJ
agent representing another little sub-agent,
but direct factory dealers, and the assertion
that we sold o Waters Piano or Organ is
simply false. We never sold one, but we
can buy from the factor that makes such as
are called the Waters instrument for those
who want such instruments, and We must
have every dollar cash, for they are subject
TO the yellow fever. Stick to the truth, and
sell if you can, but remember our instru-
ments are neither deaf dumb nor blind.

THE NEW COLLEGE AT wALHALLA, 8. C.

MR. EDITOR: Col. Keith said in his lecture
at the commencement in Walhalla that that
town had had the benefits of education for
ten years from the Newberry College, and
that the town had been transformed by it.
I do not doubt the truth of his remark. On
the contrary, believe that the whole Of this
Piedmont region must feel more or less the
benefits of the establishment OF q College at
Walhalla. Many youth will receive a
liberal education at that institution who
could never have gone to more distant
schools. These upper counties of South
Carolina owe it to themselves and their
children to support and endow the new
Walhalla College. OBSERVER.

ANDERSON,

ANDERSON, s. G., Sept. 20, 1878.
I feel it due to my friends who have SO
earnestly supported me, as well as to
myself, that should state again through
the papers that am not, nor will be, a
candidate for reelection.
While I am heartily grateful for the
endorsement I have received from the
good people of Anderson, still, on ac-
count of personal and private business,
it will be impossible for me tc serve in
the next Legislature. Therefore, re-
apectfully decline to allow my name
used.
Respectfully, &C.,
JAS. l.. ORR.

We are panied to announce the death Of
little Cora Wilhite, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. F., Baker, of Atlanta, Ga, and
granddaughter of DR.. P. A. Wilhite, Of
Anderson. The little girl was bright
child, aged twelve months, and was at
tackedat the residence of Mr.. Baker, in At
ianta, on last Friday night, with brain
fever, which terminated fatally on the fol-
lowing day. Those who mourn tho early
termination of sweet and interesting in
fants life weep not as those without hope,
for the tender bud which the touch Of death
has withered here, has but been waited to
purer and happier sphere where, free from
sorrow and pain and suffering, the little
spirit has already been transformed into q
more perfect and beautiful life which shall
know nc ending.
We would call the attention ofour readers
to the piano and organ advertisement in our
columns. These parties are well known,
and the house is reliable. Their prices are
factory prices, and they are protected by the
factories. They are right here at home
where you can see before you buy. Mrs.

infest the day fold up their tents like the
