The object is u worthy one, and with the

ISrELL1aENcER, few days ago, took occa-
sion to remind the Ne,rs that it had not full
filled its promise to reach Anderson every
day in the morning. So far we have not.
The railroads seem to be run with special
eve to ourinconvenience. The Ne,rs reaches
Belton and Hodges in the morning, and lays
all day within few miles of Anderson and
Abbevlle awaiting the arrival of the up
trains with the Charleston and Columbia
mails. The train on the Blue Ridge branch
passes Scnaca City just so as to miss con-
nection with the Airline, and shut us
from an outlet in that way. We cannot
| reach Spartanburg until late in the day,
and by lack of connection are debarfed from
Union. Special arrangements are required
in every direction, and they will be made.
They require time to be gotten into work.

the News will be the first daily paper seen
in Greenville, Spartanburg, Union, Ander-

A ficndish negro named Joe Brier ut.
tempted to commit an outrage on little
white girl in Greenville County last week,
during the absence of her parents from
home, but owing to the presence of some
smaller children in the house, whose assist
ance was summoned, he desisted his BASTARD
ly attempts and left the house Upon the
return of her parents the little girl made
known the beastly attempts Of the negro
and at once the father consulted with his
neighbors, who formed committee of fif-
teen to investigate the case and determine
what action to take Alter full investiga-
ton vote was taken as to whatdisposition
should be made with the fend, which stood
seven for hanging and eight for allowing
the law to take its course. The negro was
accordingly taken to Grecnville, and after
preliminary examination before Trial JUS
tice was committed to Jail in default of bail
fixed at 81 900. The action of the commit
tee who had the scamp in charge we think
praiseworthy, taking every thing into COLI
sideration.
The essay on our fourth page, which was
prepared for and read before the Associate
Grange of this County by Col. w. s. Pick
ems, discusses subject that is certainly en-
titled to the serious and favorable consider
alton of ell our readers, and particularly Of
those who live in the country. There is
nothing that contributes more to the gen.
eral health and development Of the physi-
cal man than q free and judicious use Of
wholesome and nutritious fruit. 1t is the
greatest of our luxuries and should be one
of the most important items in the general
makeup of our everyday diet the year
round. Our Southern people, as general
rule, do not put proper valuation OIL fruit,
which is conclusively demonstrated by their
almost universal neglect of its proper cult
vation. We sincerely hope the essay will
have the effect of causing our readers gen.
orally to think about the Importance of the
matter, if nothing more, and when that is
done we do not doubt that more attention
will be given to it. An orchard of fine
fruits adds almost as much to the value OF
farm as good dwelling
