A Trestle Burned.

A small trestle on the Grecnvillc and
Columbia Railroad, about fifty miles above
Columbia, was burned on Thursday last,
and as consequence the trains were de-
layed an hour or two Tor several days. The
greatest inconvenience occasioned by this
accident, however, was to the passengers,
who were compelled to walk at least half q
mile, over very rough road, in order to get
to the train on the opposite side of the
break. Such treatment was unaccommo-
dating and unjust or the part Of the Road,
and its authorities deserve the seyerest CELL
sure for their conduct. 1t is more than the
travelling public should tolerate. On Fri
day there were several ladies on the up
train who were in feeble health, to one Of
whom the tramp from one train to the
other came near proving very serious
matter. 1t was the business of the Road to
have had carriages or hacks in which to
convey the passengers from one train to the
other. 1t would have been small matter
to the Road, and very great accommoda-
tion to its patrons. The authorities con-
tract to carry passengers over the Road, and
should be made to do it.

Pass Him Around.

One Prof. A. w. Jones, who processes to
be horse-tamer, came to Anderson during
the latter part of last week, and remained
in our midst until Monday, when he DEM
onstrated the fact that he is frst-class
humbug and swindler. He succeeded in
raising class of about twenty farmers, each
of whom paid him fifty cents tuition, who
were to receive, in addition to valuable oral
instruction, small books containing valua-
BILE information concerning the horse, and
how to break him of bad habits, &c. One
of the duped farmers informs us, however,
that the remedies given for breaking horses
of bad habits are worthless, and the prom
ised books were never received. He is a
trifing fellow, and should be punished for
his rascality. He is low, well-built man,
with black hair and thin black side-whis-
kers, with dark complexion. He should
be published by every paper in the State

Democratic Club Meeting.

The meeting Of the Anderson Club on this
(Thurday) afternoon will be an important
one, and every member should be present.
A ticket for Intendant and Wardens of the
town of Anderson is to be nominated on
that occasion. There is the place to settle
all differences, and every good citizen who
wishes the success of the Democracy and
the maintenance of our organization should
come prepared to settle them there. The
continuance of the Democratic Council
means continuance of economy and good
management 1t will be remembered that
the present Council, which has reduced
taxes lower than they ever have been since
the war, and kept the town well governed,
is a straight Democratic ticket. The people
are delighted with the result, and the ticket
nominated must be elected on next Mon

Broadway Picnic.

Mr.. EDIToR.-I am proud to be able to
say the picnic given by the good people of
Broadway in behalf Of the Sunday School
cause was success, and we do feel that it
would be doing injustice to them not to
chronicle the same in your paper.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
morning there was good turn out. The
spirit manifested shows that the people in
that vicinity are up and doing in the Sun
day School work. They are at work with
gloves Off May their efforts be blest and
the glorious work continue. The crowd
having assembled between II and 10
o'clock, We repaired to the stand just across
the railroad from the school house. The
people having congresated at the stand,
prayer was made by Mr.. c. f. Tolly, then
the wagon began to move forward with the
little wheel" in front.
Mr.. Columbus Wardaw was then intro
duced to the audience, and having termed
himself the "little Wheel" proceeded to set
forth the definition, benefits and effects OF
the Sunday School, and urged upon the
parents their duty to bring their children to
the Sunday School.
Next Mr.. L. P. Smith was introduced,
who favored the audience with touching
speech in behalf of the Sunday School
cause.
Then came Mr.. G. F. Tolly, who kept the
audience spell bound by his eloquent and
encouraging remarks.
Dinner came next, and you bet it was no
small fry, for there was a heap of it and
that which was good, too. The inner man
being satisfied, the people assembled in the
house and were favored with lesson oi
vocal music lead by Mr.. Wardlaw, after
which Messrs. Tolly and Smith gave some
encouraging words for the Sunday School
and temperance cause.
May the Sunday School and temperance
band,
Hand in hand, together move,
Till in the brighter better land,
They join to sing Sariours love.

Savannah Valley Railroad.

It will be seen from the report Of the
managers receiving the vote for subscription
or no subscription to the Savannah Valley
Railroad, that the vote for subscription
largely predominated in each of the three
townships where the election was held.
This result ensures the building Of the road
to LIowndesville, and makes it of very
great importance to us that it be extended
to this place; for if it runs from Augusta
to Lowndesville and no further, most Of
the trade from below will be carried away
from Anderson. By securing this road cap
italists will be induced to come here. The
charge on freights will be much reduced, as
the Georgia and the Anderson and Sayan-
nah Valley Railroad will compete with the
Air Line Road in bringing freight from At
lanta, and it will compete with the Green
vile and Columbia Road by its connection
with the Northern markets through the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Road.
1t is therefore of very great importance to
the people of Anderson that they should
get this connection, which can be done at
cost. Our people again have an
opportunity of getting competing line Of
railroad, and if they fail to do so they will
in the future see their mistake. The num-
Der of independent lines of Road running
to place is fair index of its prosperity,
and we cannot expect our town to grow to
much extent unless we get other railroads
ond keep up with the spirit of improve
ment that animates the age. 1t is impossi-
BILE to tell to what extent the country will
continue to build railroads, and if we are
left with,,what We have, and remain in a
measure isolated from the great commercial
connections, our town will not grow COM
mensurate with the growth of other towns
and the prosperity of the country.

iron ore containing gold and silver in paying

prevails at Waucedah, where the Emmett
Breen mines are located. After several DAYS
investigation he found that the average of three
samples of iron ore from the above mines.
which had been sent to Chicago for ANALYSIS
", was about $6 gold and $16 silver per ton.
Ihese are facts, as stated by parties Interested
1t will be very difficult matter 70 separate the
gold and silver existing in such small auanti-

would be enormous. Mr.. Hagerman expects a

Coroner Stein was called to LIE Roy, Mower
county, Mimi, a few days ago, to treat some
horses who were suffering from the prevailing
disease (Which he pronounces distemper). The
doctor always travels with his ewes and ears
open, and as his business called him to the
residence of John Frank late sutler at Fort
Smelling, he gives vivid description of the
country residence of that gentleman. Mr..
Franks farm consists of 1900 acres, 900 acres
being splendid land under cultivation,
LOU timber and $50 meadow land.
attractions has a fine trout stream,
! while the timber abounds in small game. When
the doctor describes the residence portion of
the property he grows especially enthusiastic.
Everything that heart could wish seems to be
provided The house is sixty feet front by
forty-hve deep, with interior arrangements Of
the most convenient description There is
also a house for the servants, a magnificent
horse barn, a granary, a farming machine shop
blacksmith and wheelwright's shop, two
large corn cribs, large chicken house, etc. Four
wells are conveniently located at different
POINTS in the yard, and large platform

40 horses, 100 head of cattle, 100 hogs, and
turkeys, chickens peacocks, geese, etc., in pro-
fusion. There are carriages, buggies, wagons,
and slelghs commensura to such an establish
ment, and agricultural implements and tools
adapted to great and completely equipped
farm. large bell on the kitchen does service
IN giving signals, and the farm is run like
clockwork.
DR.. Stein says that he has never seen any
thing to compare with this place in this section
OF the country, and when he announced that it
was for sale he almost taxed our credulity. Tt
Is, nevertheless a fact that Mr.. Frank desires
to dispose of this splendid property, and any
one wishing to ascertain his terms should ad-

Although the year is not yet ended, still,
as the amount asked for for the prosecution
of the work has been given, and most of the
work looked forward to at that time has been

the capacity of the room, at least SO far as

ness of Mr.. E. Ingram, a handsome writing
desk has lately been added to the furniture
of the room. This is kept literally supplied

It Ended in Smoke, Fortunately.

Yesterday afternoon, about 2:45 o'clock, the
evidences were pretty strong that Ingersolls
block, on Bridge square, was on fire. A volume
OF smoke came up through the iron grating of
the windows and the sidewalks and the indica-
tons were that heavy fire was smouldering in
the basement. Quite crowd collected, but no
one wanted to turn in an alarm from the box
near at hand until certainty became assured.
Parties were placed on the watch in the event
that blaze should make its appearances and
then Officer Babe carried the news to engine

cart was on the ground. thorough and ex
tended examination followed. The result was
that the smoke was found to be coming up
through the sewer, and is supposed to have
been caused by thawing out some sewer con-
necting.with the one underneath the Second

Col. knauff's Testimonial Benefit.

The pleasant idea was conceived few weeks
since of rendering Col. Knauff testimonial
benefit in recognition of his liberality and en-
terprise in conducting the Summer Garden
theatre The matter was taken in charge by
several well-known gentlemen, whose eminent
qualifications for the task was sufficient to
guarantee of its artistic success and pecuniary
outcome. The consummation'of the idea was
abundently realized last evening at the Athen-
seum, where host of friends congregated to
witness the really excellent entertainments and
alike honor the popular and deserving bene-
fciary.
The entertainment was protean in character
and was received with the heartiest manifesto
tions of approval, the artistic rendition of
the several performances eliciting frequent and
vociferous applause. The performance opened
with an amusing sketch by the capable special
ty artists Messrs. Germ and Hayden followed
by the vocal performances of Miss Jennie Wade,
whose rendition of Baby Mine,' was received
with marked approval The admirable per-
Torrance of the Collins brothers was frequent
~ encored, and the duette from II Travatore,
by Miss Wade and Prof. Zimmerman, proved the
artistic event of the evening. The kissing song
by Miss Ida Vincent was rendered in style
most captivating, while the specially acts OF
Miss Winnie Barteau and Mr.. Frank Kelly were
deservedly received with grateful recognition.

A Peanut Vender in Trouble

peanuts be taken into custody. The party
to be arrested was named Stephens, and he had
gotten away with $12 belonging to Riley, ac-
and prize packages on the cars. Word was sent
out for Stephens arrest and he was shortly
thereafter brought. Stephens explains that It
was shortage" in accounts, and that he
could make it up if he were retained in service
for another months traffic. Riley alleged he
wanted to skip, but Stephens positively denies

unless a compromise is effected
