wo learn from private letter from DR.. G.

We learn from private letter from DIR. u
Fl. Sym,ncs, of Tampa, Florida, to gentle
man Of this place, that his son Henry met
with painful and dangerous accident re-
Gently, and which, had it not been for his
remarkable presence of mind might nave
resulted fatally. While out fishing he was
bitten in the thumb by moccasin snake,
very poisonous reptile. He at once tied his
fishing line tightly around his thumb and
sucked the poisoned blood from his finger,
which was the best thing he could have
done, and ut once went to the nearest neigh
bor's house, being some distance from home,
and sent for his father, who soon arrived,
and found him i'll consider BILE pain. The
proper remedies were at once applied, and,
after several days sickness, Henry was
again all right, and we guess now will keep
sharper look out for snakes.
A colored nan named Henry Davis was
committed to Jail few days ago under
warrant issued by R. n. Wright, Esq, OF
Honea Path Township. upon the charge of
most outrageous offense against two little
white girls in this County. We have not
seen the testimony taken before the Trial
Justice on the preliminary trial, hut from
what we understand of it, the case is one
upon which Judge Lynch should have de-
cided if there ever was one. 1t is, however,
best that it has been left to the law, and the
fact that the party charged is to be given
his trial in the Courts is high tribute to
the law abiding disposition of our people
When community in which such crime
has been committed leaves the punishment
of the criminal to the laws of the land, too
much cannot be said in praise of its citizens.
We have received a copy of the Columbia
Weekly Register in its enlarged form. 1t is

Heavy snow was visible on the noun
tains last Sunday morning 1.-The June
meeting Of the Third Union District of the
Saluda Baptist Association will be held at
Cross Roads Church. ......Howard Brooks,
colored, wa, caught last week and sent to
Anderson Jail for creating disturbance at
colored religious meeting last August.
He had eluded arrest meanwhile by staying
in Georgia......At IL o'clock Saturday night
large meteor shot across the Southern sky
and exploded near the horizon. The light
occasioncd by the transit was exceedingly
brilliant....Dr D. S. Watson, one of the
delegates to the Union Meeting, expressed
himself as much pleased with the general
appearance Of the Fork country, and par
ticularly with Townville and its people.
This is an apprcciable compliment, mas
much as the Doctor is gentleman of very
extensive observation and correct views......
All agree in pronouncing the Union Meet
ing, which closed on Sunday, a most enjoy
able occasion. The utmost harmony pre-
vailed in it deliberations, and large and at
tentivc congregations were in attendance
throughout. Rev. ]. c. Hudson preached
the Introductory sermon. Rev. j. Scott
Murray was elected Moderator and Mr.. L.
P. Smith clerk of the body. Rcvs. ]. c.
Hudson ard 1. w. Wingo addressed the
Sunday School on Sunday morning, after
which Rev. Wingo delivered the missionary
sermon-text, Mark 14:S, first clause. Rev.

missionary purposes was raised, fair sum
being contributed. Space has forbidden de-

A Card.

For the information Of the people OF
Anderson, we desire to correct the miss:ate-
nicnt OF fact which appeared in the Jnurnai
of last week, where, iii what purportcd to
be a synopsis OF the proceedings of the
Town Council III case against Jane Nc
Dowell, charged with throwing rocks into u
house, it is asserted that she plead guilty,
but that the Council decided to 20 into evil
dence, and acquitted her. Snch statement
is wholly fabrication which has existence
only in the imagination of its author, as
neither the facts nor the records sustain 1t.
The party plead not guilty, and upon the
trial there was no testimony to warrant
conviction, and she denied the charge upon
oath. and furthermore established good
character. The Council could not consis-
tently have done otherwise than find her
not guilty. We do not care TO consume
time nor occupy space in your paper to
notice further the statement OF the Journal
above referred to, nor to comment on the
attempts of its Editor in two or three para
graphs to display bis wit over this perver-
sion of facts. 1t is, however, due to the
public to know that one Of the writer's OF
that paper inspected the record OF the Coun-
Gil before the publication was made, and
ought to have been able to understand 1t
sufficiently to prevent such misrepresenta-
ton, if he had desired to quote the proceed
ings correctly. In conclusion, we would say
that as members of the Council we do not
object to any action of the Council being
criticised as it may deserve, but we do hold
that parties who are anxious to find fault,
and are ever ready to arraign the action of
the Council, should at least have the pru-
dence and fairness not to represent the &c
ton as the reverse of what it really was.

A Deserved Compliment.

The Columbia Register Of last Thursday
contains the following very complimentary
article concerning the Anderson Theatrical
Company over the signature of Visitor"
The compliment is we'll deserved, and we
re-publish it for the special benefit and en-
couragement OF those interested in the sue
cess of this enterprise:
We had the good fortune to witness the
performance of the first play of this COM
pany after its organization. On the night
of the 2lSt Of March, the play 'School of
Reform" was rendered at the Masonic Hall,
in the presence of large and intelligent au-
dience We were highly entertained, and
most happily disappointed in finding SD
much theatrical talent, and it so admirably
adapted to the stage and to this particular
occasion. Anderson utterly astonished US
there is life in the old land yet" Each
member rendered his or her respective part
with remarkable degree of skill and case.
Mr.. Fermcnt especially did himself much
credit, and undoubtedly possesses a great
deal of undevelopcd talent in this direction.
The company deserves commentator for
its efforts, and Anderson should not only be
proud of it, but lend q helping hand. This
is one of the innocent amusementS that adds
to q place life and charms. One Of the
most attractive features of the evening was
the graceful and lovely attitude of the
actresses while upon the stage. Not only
upon the stage did we find Andersons fair
daughters, but also harmoniously inter-
spersed among the large audience of ugly
men. This company promises successful
future, and will eventually become one
among the most respectable and noted of
the country. TO accomplish it only re-
quires q season of proper trimming. We
would advise the Anderson Theatrical Com
pany to commence travelling and eXtinguish
all those lesser or sateliary lights that arc
now floating over the country. 1t would
afford us much pleasure to be present at the
rendering of the next play. Hope how
ever, to DO able to learn the time.

THIS growing that is going on be
tween Russia and Germany will not
amount to anything, probably. There
is no serious difference, however, that
would Justify the two nations IN going
to war. Russia can't afford It at. this
stage of the game, and Germany
doesn't forget the fact that France is
only awaiting the time when Germany
shall become involved in war to wipe
out the inglorious defeat of a few years
since. Russia and Germany are ttou-
bled with Jealousy, but nations have
about ceased the folly of going to war
solely on account of jealousy.

would fear to tread. Sprague, not re-
cognizing Conkling, thought him a red
headed policemen who came to inter-

and then he wanted to perforate the
police force. This explains the whole
affair as good as Conkling himself can
do. Conkling's serious mistake was in
not wearing a uniform.

some shrewd and lively operator to
make a handsome profit. Messrs. Law

tablished the new combination system
for operating in stocks, so that capital
in any amount from So to $50, 1000 can
be used proitably at any time that MAY
suit the customer. BY pooling the ord
ers of thousands of patrons into one i'm
mense sum, and operating them rs a
mighty whole, under the most expert
enced skill, vast profits are made, which
could be gained in no other way. These
are divided pro rata among ~sharehold-
ers monthly. An investment of $40
returns $50, or 8 per cent. on the stock.
500 pays $3.50, and so on, according to
the market. A st. Louis patron made
over three hundred per cent. on an in

TIE efforts of Conkling and his
friends to pooh-pooh the Sprague affair
are amusing and childish. If his rel

the scapegoat of the whole affair. Likely
