HoHsa Path.

This week it is our sad duty to report to
you terrible accident Which happened
three miles below here OH the &. & C. r. R.
last Monday morning about : o'clock.
Engine No. 2l, carrying train for the pur-
pose of gathering up all old irons, &C.,
along the road, reached this place Saturday
night and remained here until Monday
morning. On Monday morning before
leaving here the engineer found there was
something wrong with the engine, and, be-
lieving It to be the spring of the safety valve
broken, he tied it down, and proceeded on
his way, but had gone only about miles
when the engine exploded, killing imme-
diately engineer VIM. Milligan, fireman
VIM. Johnston (col.) and Robert Greer, q
young man of this place, who was on the
engine going to Donaldsville, and wound
ing dangerously Mr.. Farmer, Section Mas
ter, of this place, who was also on the en-
CINE, and fireman Henry Toliver, (col.)
Mr.. Farmer is badly scalded and bruised,
and Toliver dangerously scalded and one
leg broken. Besides these there were three
other train hands slightly hurt. The engine
is perfect wreck, and it is a mystery how
any one on it was not killed. When the
explosion occurred the engine jumped for
ward about twenty yards and turned COM
pletely around, and, from all appearances,
must have been several feet In the air. All
of the killed were thrown several feet from
the engine. Johnston was thrown back
over the tender one fat car and half way
the second fat car. He was putting wood
in the engine when It exploded, as soon
as the accident occurred, Conductor Will
liatns sent for medical assistance, and the
wounded were attended; but the three al
ready named were dead before any one
arrived. Train hands and section masters
with their hands went, to work removing
the wreck, laying track, DC, and by. 2
o'clock p. M, trains Were able to pass, The
question will be asked, who was to blame
for the accidentS From what we can learn
from competent engineers who were pres
ent, the company was not to blame, and we
believe the whole accident due to the steam
gauge not working, and the engineer be-
ieving it to be the springs OF the safety
valve broken. Having tied down the bal
ances, and the gauge not working, he had
no way of telling the amount of steam, and
consequently got on more pressure than she
would bear. Mr.. Milligan was looked upon
as one of the best mechanics in the roads
employ. He leaves q wife and several chill
dren... On last Sunday evening, while q
little colored girl and colored boy were
foolishly handling pistol, it fired, and
wounded the little girl seriously in the face,
the ball entered one nostril and lodged in
the adjacent bones. The girl is still living,
and as wounds about the heads of colorcd
people are not often fatal. we hope she will
recUver..... Mr.. NJ. Erwin carried six head
of cattle to the State Fair and took seven
premiums on them. Who can beat it!
......Nice furniture that we saw in the depot
a few days ago. What next?

MEMO.

R. o. Tribble, Esq, was quite i'll last
week of chronic ailments..... Fair Play
people are given to fox-chasing and discuss
ing railroads. 1T has been bruited for some
time that an illicit distillery is in operation
somewhere in the Fork, and circumstances
appear to justify the rumor......Mr. Frank
L. Sitton's sprightly little daughter Gussie
secured ten dollars in mite contributions,
and with the proceeds has purchased neat
Bible and hymn-book for the Presbyterian
pulpit in this place. This is quite COM
mendable in Gussie....It is rumored that
Mr.. Joseph n. Holland, formerly citizen
of the Fork, but latterly residing in Florida,
died some time ago at his home in that
country......Two colored men, Carey and
Thurn Parks, were placed in 0conee Jail last
week charged with burning Mr.. E. P.
Earles gin house and saw mill on the night
of the 7th inst. There is probability that
another colored man will be implicated.

The Sabbath Day.

A union meeting of the different religious
denominations of the town was held in the
Baptist Church on last Lords Day after
noon, according to previous announcement,
to consider the subject of the proper OBJ
servance of the day, and to unite the iniu-
ence of Christians against its desecration.
The meeting was very largely attended, and
its proceedings harmonious and unanimous.
The Rev. w. 81. Strickland, pastor of the
Baptist Church, presided and directed the
exercises of the occasion. There were
present on the platform Rev. W. S. Plumer,
b. D., Rev. d. E. Frierson, D. D., and
Rev. w. F. Pearson, Of the Presbyterian
Church; Rev. ]. E. Carlisle, of the Metho-
dist, and Revs. W. n. Strickland and ]. s..
Murray, of the Baptist. The following res
olutions were offered, and, after addresses
by Revs. w. S. Plumer, ]. E. Carlisle and
j. s. Murray, unanimously adopted by a
rising vote:
Resolved, That the seventh of time, set
apart as day of rest from the creation of
one of the great "Ten Words" of that code,
sanctioned by our Lord and his Apostles,
and honored ever since by all Christian
people as the Lords Day, is of permanent
and universal obligation.
Resolved, That its design is for the wor-
ship and contemplation of God in our
sanctuaries and our families, and, being so,
is violated by any work which is not re-
quired by necessity or mercy.
Resolved, That the running of railroad
trains on the Lords Day, on the plea of
necessity or public utility, is to make the
exceptions to the rule as general as the rule
itself, and to legislate on the subject. That
Sunday excursions, amusements or enter
tainments, or any mode of travelling or
work, which necessity or mercy does not
require, is contrary to the design of the day.
Resolred, That as Christian people we
honor and cherish the Lords Day as part
of our Christianity, and do invite and en-
courage all men to unite with US in its
proper observance.
After the adoption of the resol utions, it
was moved and carried that the papers of
the town, and those in harmony with the
resolutions, be requested to publish them
and the proceedings of the meeting. AS
the desecration of the Lords Day is one of
the crying evils of the day, and one of the
great sources of the decentralization Of any
people, it is hoped this meeting of those
who love the Saviour and the day He has
hallowed will exert wholesome influence
in arresting its violation, and induce all to
Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it
holy."

represented by this correspondent, these a.
sailants should be handled by the legal au,
thorities and the proper punishment infiict-
ed upon them. The good people of Georgia
will not submit to having the fair name of
the State brought into disrepute by few
lawless individuals. If the statement be
untrue these gentlemen owe correct state
ment of the affair to the public in their own
behalf and for the benefit of the community.
We shall expect to hear from them.
The Greenviilc b Columbia Railroad
Company dismissed Capt. E. G.. Evans as
engineer on the Anderson Branch of the
Road we understand on the ground that he
did not make as fast time as they wished.
The citizens Of Anderson have forwarded a
petition 10 Gen. Conner for his restoration
to the position, and we have no doubt sinl-
liar petitions will be sent up from every
point along the Road, for Capt. Evans is o
most thorough engineer, whose reputation
for reliability has Secured for him the entire
confidence OF the communities through
which he has been running the train. Not
person to whom the petition was presented
declined to sign it, and those whose sigma
lures are upon it placed them there most
cheerfully. Mr.. Evans is courteous gen.
tleman, who is well known all through this
pdlC OI Iue StdlC, anu IuG
depend upon it that they will get no more
reliable, faithful and competent engineer,
and they will not get one who will be so
acceptable to the people along the line. We
hope he will be speedily restored to his po-
sition.
The Grand Division, Sons of Temperance,
met In Columbia last week. The attend
ance was above the average, and more in
terest was evinced by the workers than
usual Good reports were sent from oil the
Divisions, showing a small increase in
numbers, and less violation of the pledge.
The meeting was very pleasant indeed, and
the delegates left for their homes determined
to work with renewed zeal for the cause.
The following officers were elected to serve
for the next year: G. W. P, G. +. ToIly,
Anderson; 6. w. a., w. A. Edwards, Or
angeburg; G. ST.. L. P. Smith, Anderson
G. T., James +. Troy, Columbia; G. Chap,
Rev. c. Sem, Lexington; G. Con-, ]. Fl.
Hardin, Chester; G. S., T. G. Lipscomb,
Ninety-Six. The Spring session of the
Grand Division will be held with Broada-
way Division, In Anderson County, next
March, and The time for the holding of the
annual meeting has been changed from
October to August. The reelection of
Messrs. Tolly and Smith to the two highest
Offices of the Order in this State is q COM
pliment to both them and Anderson Divis-
ion.

NOTICE.

UNDOUBTEDLY the best criterion
that we enjoy the largest trade, and
we refer to it with a mingled feeling
of pride and pleasure, is the fact
that we sold almost the entire i'm
mense stock of goods that we receiv-
ed in the early part Of September.
It was by far the largest assortment
Dry,Goods, Boots, Shoes, Clothing and
Hats, that the people Of this and ad-
Joining Counties had ever seen in An
derson and it puzzled many how we
could possibly dispose Of them ALL
But our system----L0W CASH PRI-
CES----together with a positive knowl-
edge that we Can undersell ALL has
rendered our task, to sell such QUAIL
titles Of Goods easy beyond all expec-
tation.
We are receiving now an entirely
NEW STOCK OF WINTER GOODS.
which we will sell at prices that ad-
nit of no competition:
JEW CLOAKS, NEW D0LMANS,
Jew CASHMERES NEW DRESS GOODS,
JEW PRINTS NEW D0MESTICS
JEW CLOTHING, NEW HATS,
NEW BOOTS, NEW SHOES,
JEW CARPETS. NEW BLANKETS.
Thanking the people of this whole
section for their kind patronage, we
beg leave to assure all that we will
continue to foster their best interests,
and upon the broad claims that we
possess as Headquarters, solicit an
inspection of our NEW GOODS.
