Heavy Rains.

Since Saturday afternoon the rains
through this section of country have been
frequent and heavy. On Tuesday there
was very heavy rainfall through the
day, the clouds coming from the East
and Southeast. The water courses are
higher than they have been for many
years. We fear much damage has been
done to the wheat and oat crops, which
were cut but left in the fields, and to the
bottom land corn, as all the bottom lands
are covered with water. We learn that
the railroad bridge over Broadway Creek
is much damaged, the foundation Of one
of the benches being undermined and
the track sunk, and that below some
hundred yards of the track is washed
away. The down trains, however, with
the delegates to the State Convention was
on time on Wednesday and with the as
sistance of trains from below, meeting it
at the breaks, expected to take passen-
gers through to Columbia.

A Correction.

While we were absent from the Office
one morning about three weeks ago, a
gentleman brought in several fine cotton
stalks. One of the compositors received
them, and asked the gentleman for his
name. The compositor understood him
to say W. A. McFall, and 80 wrote it
down. When we came in, the cotton
stalks and name were handed to US, and
we mentioned it in the local columns.
Mr.. w. A. McFall says he was not the
man, that he never sent the cotton stalks
here, and requests us to make the oorrec-
ton. We cannot account for the mistake
other than that the compositor misunder-
stood the gentleman and got the wrong
name. Mr.. McFall, however, is one of
the most progressive farmers in A-nder-
son County, and Igenerally has as fine
cotton, grain, &c.. as any man, but he
never tells the newspaper men about it.

ercises of the Anderson Military School

chapel of the School building. On

slentine the wealth, fashion, beauty and
grace of Anderson and vicinity, and pre-.
senting a most brilliant scene. The ros-
trun was tastefully decorated with flow
ers and evergreens, and upon the rear
wall hung some beautiful pictures.
II After a spirited piece of music by the
Young America Cornet Band, the e1er-
cises Of the evening were opened with a
fervent prayer by Rev. VIM. Henry
Strickland of Tennessee. Prof. Ligon
then introduced Cadet Ralph w. Brown,
who delivered an original speech on
"America, Her Progress and Destiny"
This speech was very clever production,
and reflected much credit upon theyoung
gentleman. The next on the programme
was the debate on the query, "Have Men
of Thought been of more Service to the
World than Men of Action9" The af-
firmative side was represented by Cadets
H. Webb, ]. r. Stevenson and r. M. Ba-
ker, and the negative by Cadets w. F.
Maddox, "A. y. Geer and e. F. Cochran.
These young gentlemen sustained their
respective sides of the question in very
creditable manner, advancing strong and
forcible arguments, which showed that
they had carefully studied the question.
Each debater was loudly applauded, and
each the recipient ofSfagrant flowers.
. Prot. Ligon announced that as there
were no judges of the debate, the audi
ence could decide the question for them
selves. AN Invitation was extended to
all present to attend the exercises on the
following morning at II o'clock.
ID at the appointed hour.

ANOTHER RESCUE FROM DEATH.-In 1881
while sewing on a machine, my wife was
taken ken with severe pain in her side, which
was soon followed by hemorrhages from
her lungs, severe cough, fever, and she
week. weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton.
Her stomach refused to retain any food, and
the physician thought one of her lungs was
entirely gone. At final consultation of
two physicians her case was pronounced
hopeless. I tried Brewers Lung Restorer
by advice of one of the physicians, and she
began to improve after the third dose. She
continued the medicine, and is now in e1-
cellent health, and is better than she has
been in several years. believe Brewers
Lung Restorer saved her life.

A veritable cowboy, in the person oil
Albert Linderman, of Marshall, turned
himself loose upon the streets of Waterloo
last Monday night, endangering the lives
of our citizens by his fast driving and
making night hideous by unearthly
noises defying the authorities to capture
bin After considerable trouble he was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Whipple on
two charges, one being for cruelty to
animals and endangering speoples' lives
and the other for drunk and disorderly
conduct. He was arranged before Jus

pleading guilty to both charges was fin

WHERE The TEA GOES. chief
consumers of Chinese tea" says the St.
James Gazette. "are still the British, the
Americans OF the United States, and the
Russians But in America it is chiefly
green "ea that is in request, as black is
with the English The history of the
growth of this taste in England is very
remarkable. The East India Company
sent out their first order to their factors
in 1864 for 100 lbs, after having offered
2 lbs. of tea as present to the King.
But in 1860 Mr.. Pepys says he went to
take cup of the new Chinese drink
tea From 1741 to 1745 the importa-
ton cid not exceed 758, ,420 lbs; during
the next five years it increased 2, 100000
lbs, valued at 9318,080. In that year
a duty of IS. per h., and an excise Of
2s were levied"
The amount of tea exported from
China last year was 569.000,000 lbs.
Oyer Zone half of this quantity wentsto
England; next in order came Russia
and then the United States followed
third on the list The latter's consump-
ton was still only one fourth of Great
Britain's, which was 134,000,000 lbs,
OF which 120, 100000 lbs. were black and
100000 lbs. green tea; our supply
being 35,000,000 lbs., composed of 2O,-
100000 black and 100000 green tea.
Nine>tepts of the black tea sent TO Eng
land is Congou, whereas to this country
very little except Oolopg is shipped.

Harvard University and Law School,
During the closing operations around
Petersburg he was upon the staff Of
General Grant, At Chicago he had a
large and responsible practice in his pro-
tession and had the reputation of being
an able and efficient lawyer. In the
year 1876. when a corrupt ring was in
control OF the finances and assessment of
taxes in Chicago, at a time when great
excitement prevailed throug hout the city,
he was asked at public meeting of cit
izens whether he would assume the du-
ties of supervisor if elected. Without a
moments hesitation he replied in the
affirmative, and was Immediately elected
by the Town Board then in night session
at the Grand Pacific Hotel His admin
istration of that office was bold aud Wig

all. In it he has displayed high execu-
tive ability He is a man fond of read
ing, naturally studious, of sterling integ-
rity, and always able to maintain his part
in any discussion. In every way he is
well qualified to occupy the White House
and serve as President OF the United
States.
Should he be nominated there would
be no antagonism against him. The
Garfield, Arthur, Logan, Edmunds,
Blaine and Sherman men could all unite
upon him. All those now living who
voted for bis father, their sons, all the
soldiers, their relations, the young men
of the country, all the blacks. and many
Democrats both North and South, would
vote for him. The campaign would he

A prominent Democrat recently said:

fitting thar that in Chicago, place full
of great and even sacred political memor

War were nominated-what more fitting

OUT IN A BLIZZARD.
The Expert rience OF Two Young Mem
in n Dakota SnOyv-StOrm.

A gentleman Of Chicago, recently re-
ceived from his brother, who lives in La
Mour county Dakota, the following ac-
count of the adventures of his correspond
ent in a Dakota blizzard:
Last Sunday Charlie and I walked six
miles across the county to see some
neighb0rs, and the day being pleasant,
although the thermometer was down to
zero, we felt safe in delaying our return
until sundown, knowing the ground as
well as we did After walking about a
mile and half we noticed black cloud
on the horizon, and, as it was beginning
to get dark we pulled out faster, and had
got within about two miles of home when
the last star disappeared. OF all the
| dark nights you ever saw this was the
worst, and the only guide we had Of
direction was the wind, which was from
the northwest Suddenly it stopped
blowing We stopped to hold a council
when the wind suddenly commenced
blowing again, but by reason Of both OF
us turning, we failed to notice what we
afterwards discovered that it came from
a new direction. We started on again
until we finally realized we were going
down hill, and soon reached what we be
lieved to be creek bottom as the snow
was very deep. The storm was increas-
ing and it was getting colder all the time.
We concluded we would try and get
somewhere, so we started, but first we
would fnd ourselves going out of the
| bottom. and then we would be founder
log in four feet of snow. until at last
Charlie proposed that we burrow in the
snow and try to keep from freezing dur
ing the ten hour until daylight No
sooner were we in the holes we had
scooped on with our hands, than I dis
covered that my feet were freezing, my
socks having got thoroughly wet !
pulled off my socks and began to rub
my f ct, but soon found that my fingers
were as getting !r d.u gone thumb
was all that escaped. Inen Charley
took snow in bis mlttens and rubbed the
feet while | went for the hands. We
soon got the frost out, and / put on my
socks. but we both felt benumbed by the
cold, and saw that we must keep exer-
cising or perish So we again sailed out
and followed the creek We made our
way through the terrible storm for an
hour or two and were nearly exhausted,
when we came right on to a shanty It
seemed providential, as we could not
have endured the cold much longer, and
would not have seen the shanty had we
passed ten feet from it. It was not occu-
pied, but a shot from my revolver demol
ished the lock. Although the window
was unglazed, we were sufficiently pro-
| teeteG from the storm-which had been
increasing all the time-so that by con-
slant exercise we kept from freezing.
About eight o'clock the next morning
we got a glimpse Of the sun, and with
that for a guide we again started out and
soon encountered familiar objects. We
were several miles from home, but reach
! ed there without further adventure

thought nothing further of the matter.
Wednesday morning Oh arising, they
