| OF Belton township, which occurred on last

after painful illness from typhoid fever of

| Rev. VIM. Henry Strickland, pastor of
the Anderson Baptist Church, was unani-
mous.y elected at the recent Baptist State
Convention to the position of Correspond
ing Secretary and General Agent Of tho
| State Mission Board. 1t is q position Of the
highest. responsibility, and its duties de-
! mand the employment of The hast talent IN
the denomination. The compliment to Mr..
Strickland, therefore, is very great, and his
| selection from among the ministers to this
| important work is strong testimonial of
| high esteem among his brethren. He has
not yet signified his intention OF accepting
| the call OF the Convention to this field,of
laoor, and While the members &c his Church
recognize his peculiar and eminent fitness
for the work, yet they are very anxious that
he should remain with his present charge.
We are pleased to hear that the Ladies'
Sewing Society of the Anderson Baptist
Church will give series of Dime Lectures,
running through the winter months. AL
| ready quite number of gentlemen have
consented to lecture, and we .-e sure that
.he course may be made an interesting and
extended one. The series will begin with q
lecture from Rev. D. e. Frierson, D. H..
ana the time, place and subject will be au-
| nounced u EaSt weeks rIper We are
truly glad that our ladies have made this
move, for we regard the platform as great
educator, and one that the Southern people
have too long neglected. The admission fee
| Is made nominal that the benefits of the lee
lures may be within the reach of all. We
shall await Will r,al interest the announce
ment of DR.. Frierson's subject, knowing
that he will treat it in an original and en-
tertaining way.
| On last Friday afternoon as an extra
freight train was going from this place to
Beiton about one-half of the cars became
detached as they were going down the grade
at Browns Crossing. As soon as Conductor
smith discovered that his car and several
freight cars in front Of him were cut loose
from the engine and four OR five cars next
TO 1t, ne put on breaks and stopped his por-
ton OF the train, and sent fagman for
ward 70 warn the engineer, who had crossed
the Broadaway trestle before he noticed that
ne was pulling only portion of .he train.
AS soon as he discovered the fact, however,
ne went back in search of the missing cars,
ana rom some reason or other did not no.
sce the t,agman and was in o few yards of
Mr. Smiths train before he put on breaks,
and as consequence the buffers on eight
or nine of the freight cars were broken by
the collision. The work of carrying the
cars to Belton consumed the greater part
OF the night, and the passenger train passed
shis place on its regular trip to Walhalla
between i've and six O'Clock Saturday
morning.
The order of Good Samaritans of this
place chartered two cars to go on an excnr-
sion to Greenville last Thursday, Goth inst.
| When the train left, it was understood that
they could procure an additional coach at
Bolton, II needed. The cars were crowded,
| put SOou Oruer was preserved until after
leaving Belton. Here few drunken negro
rowdies Joined the excursion, and o few
more were added at Williamson. Between
the last named place and Greenyille the cars
had to be locked to keep the rowdie5 in one
place, SO that they would not endanger d. cir
lives, and also that they could not disturb
the peaceably disposed portion of the ex-
cursionists. The train reached Greenyilie
at 113O without any serious mishap. In
the afternoon at s o'clock the train left
Greenyille with very drunken set of ne
| groes, and pistols and knives were freely
drawn, but, fortunately, no one was hurt.
1t was impossible for those in charge to keep
| order, and the train was given up to the
Bacchanalians, and they made things hide
ons. BY the time Bolton had been reached
the most of the boisterous had been dropped,
and q goodly number of the cars seats,
i Windows and one door were broken. Be 1t
said to the credit of the Good Samaritans,
not one of their number was under the In.
huence of whiskey, nor was there but four
/ or FIVE of Andersons darlsiee who me ..e
themselves obnoxious to any one When
another excursion is anticipated we adyise
the appointing of about dozen speo;a! po-
lice to keep order. Mr.. Davis FAINT, asked
as Conductor, and deserves credit for Ii e
efficient manner in which he discharged hin
office.
