NEWSOFTHE WEEK, =,
.MNllAh Grain.

The Mark Lane Express in its weekly
review of the trade, says considerable rain
fell throughout the kingdom the past week,
and harvest operations were seriously retard-
ed thereby. A fair quantity of wheat was
secured, but very little progress was made
with barley, the wet weather. having impeq-
ed threshing. sam1es n}w &hkat weie
not numerous. SAriteNe& g{aip& Were pyeJ
ented to greater or less extent in all sam
pies. The crop. however is not u failure, as
the yield promises to be better than in the
three proceeding years. Scotch advices re.
port wheat to be the best Of the white crops,
aud more forward than usual. Barley was
prevented from filing out by drought, al
though the grain in some cases is said to be
fine. Having been almost exclusively en-
gagged in the fields, farmers have offered
very little wheat, but light offerings and
unsettled weather had the effect on prices
which was well maintained. There was an
increased demand for spring American, for
which there was further advance Of shill--
ing per quarter. Although recent shipments
from Atlantic ports have undoubtedly bean
large, their depressing effect upon trade has
been minimized by short stocks held by MILL
ers and the statment from trustworthy
sources that the crop Of spring wheat in
many sections Of the United States has suf-
fierce droughts. The demand for Russian
ports was comparatively light. A<gooa deal
Of dissatisfaction was caused by the heated
and unstable condition Of the more recent
shipments.

A CURIOSITY IN HUMAN FORM.

MIR. EIlr6n: There lives within mile
and q half of Anderson negro womali-
Maria Cummings-who is natural curios'
it,, well worth any ones time to 90 and see
She was originally cnphet-colored, but for
the past fifteen years has bcch gradually
turning white. She says that she first no
ticed small white spot on her neck during
tn, war, and although 1t kept growing larger
cnd larger, and spread from her neck to her
shoulders and breast, she paid little atten-
ton to it. 1t continued to ihCfease in size
year by year, however, until now her Whole
person, with the exception of her face, the
backs of hcr hands, the td,s Of licr feet and
portions of her arms, is perfectly white, and
haa the clearest hue of complexion that |
ever saw. The splotchcs Of her original
color gradually decrease in size, and if she
lives five years longer will be one OF the
fiilest coinplettcd persons in the world.
Maria is now about 40 years of age, and Is
the mother of eighteen children, twelve Of
whom are living. She is about medium
size, and is industrious and honest. This
is certainly remarkable transformation,
and the question, "Wbat has brought it
abcut2" is puzzlins many. She Is known
to several of your readers, and was, at the
time of emancipation; the property Of Capt.
J. Y. Frctwell, of this County. she now

DEATH hF REV. A. RICE.

It is with sincere regret that We niiiisuncc
the death of tile Rev A Rice, in the S1st
year Of hls Age He was born in this Coun-
ty oh the 10Th day of June, A. D. lI0s, and
died OH the 3ist day Of July, A. D, ISIS,
after brief illness of three days. lie re-
ceived in early life as good MI education us
could be obtained in the common County
schools of the day, and completed his
academic course in the Academy ut Va
rennes when in his nineteenth year. Soon
after this he entered as clerk in the store of
his father and Mr.. Christopher Orr at Cray
tonville, where he had inculcated and I'M
bibed those strict business principles which
subsequently contributed to his own success
in life, and enabled him to discharge faith
fully the many trusts afterwards committed
to him, without the imputation Of stain
Upon any of his transactions.
On the 10th of March, 1920, he was mar
ried to Miss Sallie Thompson, who was for
IS years the faithful partner Of his joys and
sorrows. About this time ne was elected
Colonel Of one of the militia regiments, and
in the year 1926 or 1928 was elected a men,
ber of the Legislature, and continued to
represent the people of Pendlcton District
in the Legislature for six years. AS Il rep
resentatiye he faithfully represented his
constituency, and it was his privilege to
cast his vote In favor OF granting o charter
10 the first railroad company IN this coun-
try and the longest one at that time in the
world.
About this time Col. Rice connected him
self with the Baptist Church, and in 1856 or
1887 was, at the request OF the Meals Creek
Church, ordained to the work of the minis
try. For upwards of forty years he was
faithful preacher of the Gospel. He sought
not wealthy Churches, but being himself
man of wealth, it was HIS delight tc preach
to poor Churches and IN destitute places:
He was leader in the Saluda Association,
and much of the prominence of that Asso-
ciation is due to his judgment and labors.
His last days were rs calm and bright as
his life had been pure and devoted, and
faithful to all the bright trusts committed
to his charge.
The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. J. S. Murray, and his remains inferred
in the family burial ground. The very
large attendance at his bsrial attest the high
estimation in which he was held in the
community.
We commingle our sympathies with the
bereaved family in the great loss which
they and the community have sustained in
the death of one of our oldest and best
citizens
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1878-08-08

being much more rapidly and systematically
instructed under the Democratic govefn-
ment than under the Republican. His
speech was interviewer with anecdotes, and
brought frequent applause.
: At the conclusion of Col. Orr's sreech,
Henry Kennedy renewed the motion to
endorse Governor Hampton, bit Parker
was too arbitrary and too wary to let it go
before the convention, and this time showed
90 much temper that Kennedy ,aid, "Well,
don't look so mad. do not like to talk to
man who Is Us mad as you are" At this
time there was proposition to take up
collection from the white people to pay the
expenses Of the delegates to Columbia, but
it was ridiculed so that the hat did not pass
around, and the convention adjourned.
The convention Was decided success as
a Democratic meeting, and an equal failure
as Republican convention. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY the desire Of majority OF the col
ored people present to endorse Governor
Hampton, but they could not get the chance
to express it by vote. The white Demo-
Gratis present deserve the highest praise and
commendation for their excellent order,
and to them is due the whole success of the
Democratic party on this OCCASION. The
course of Green 3. Williams, Henry Ken
nedy, Samuel johnson, McDufie Singleton,
and the colored men who went with them,
alsc deserves praise, and shows them to be
far ahead of the leaders who want to revive
the old Republican party. They appreciate
good government, and show q Willingness
to sustain it which the more sensible Of their
race will certainly follow. They should be
encouraged by our people in the move
which they are making in the right direc.
tion. We predict that radicalism is practi-
cally dead and buried in this County, and
that it will be long time before it attempts
another convention.
