STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
COUNTY OF ANDERSON.
We, the Grand Jury Of Anderson Coun-
ty, at this the third Term Of the Court Of
General Sessions, beg leave respectfully
to make the following report, to wit: !.
That we have discharged the several
duties committed to us by this Court.
We have visited the various public
offices, and also the Poor House and Jail
by committees, and find the same neatly
and properly kept.
We heartily approve OF the changes
made in the Clerks Office and the Judge
of Probate's Office, and also the removal
of the County Treasurer's Office out of the
Court House.
We have examined the following Trial
Justices books: j. C. G. Feathersten,
W. F. Cox, j. L. Bryan and w. E. Wal
ters, and find them properly kept
we approve of tho indexes now being
made by the Clerk Of the Court of the
records of his Office, and recommend that
it be completed, dono and paid for by the
County.
We recommend that good substantial
locks be furnished to the Sheriff; some OF
the Jail cells being without locks, or fur
nished with very inferior locks.
We heartily approve of the excellent
management of our County finances by
our Board of County Commissioners.
We recommend and do hope that our
County Commissioners and members OF
the Legislature will levy sufficient tax
to pay our County out Of debt, and to en-
able our Commissioners to run the Coun ty
on cash system. -
The roads, with few exceptions, are in
good condition. We would call the at
tention of our County Commissioners to
the road leading from Union Church to
Jim Burriss's lower mill, near Alex.
Dickson's house. It is in dangerous
condition on account of the narrow road
and deep bitches on each side.

Honor, the Presiding Judge, and the So
licitor aud other officers OF the Court fol

The Reunion of orr,s Regiment.

Of fthe many reunions of the surviving
veterans of the Confederate service, none
has been conducted in more pleasant
aud interesting manner than the gather
ing of Orr's Regiment of Rifles at Sandy
Springs, beginning on Tuesday evening
and lasting until Thursday morning of
last week. The weather was quite unfa-
vorable, but there was a large gathering
of the survivors and their friends. Elo-
ouent addresses were made on Wednes-
day by Hon. J.. L. Orr and Col. J. Q.
Marshall, of Columbia. These gentle
men are respectively sons ofthe first and
second Colonels of this famous Regiment,
and their invitation as the orators of the
day was beautiful compliment to the
esteem in which the veterans hold the
memory of4heir first commanders. An
Association of the veterans was formed,
and the following officers elected: Col.
Med. Miller, President; Lt..Col. j.
Townes Robinson, 1st Vice President ;
Maj. L. Rodgers, End Vice President
Adjt. w. G. Keith, Secretary; r. r.
Hemphill, Asst. Secretary; B. F. Cray
ton, Treasurer.
The occasion was one Of great interest.
Many men met for the first time since
their regiment left the service, and the
reunion afforded the opportunity TO con-
verse together over many of the pronli-
nent incidents of the war in which these
veterans bore 80 arduous and honorable
a part.
tits expected that the permanent or.
ganization of the survivors will bring
more frequent reunions and thereby keep
ap the associations which are connected
with the most eventful and trying period
of our country's history. The speeches
of Coils. Orr and Marshall are spoken of
in the most complimentary manner, and
all present enjoyed the reunion very
much. Tho committee in charge of the
matter deserve congratulation upon the
success which attended their efforts to
perfect Survivors Association.

The annual session at Due West of the
Southern Synod of the Associate Reform

tended, delegates from nearly every

mittee from the United Presbyterian

important steps were taken looking to
union of the two churches.

full attendance of the members is desired
at the next meeting.
Mr.. l.. T. Holland, a substantial farmer
of Broadway Township, has shown us
turnip that measure 13A inches in circum-
ference, and says it is an average of his
crop. He also says he has growing i'll his
ward small mountain oak, from which
he has gathered five bushels of acorns
and expects to gather another bushel.
The mountain oak resembles chestnut
tree, and it's acorns are the very best kind
of food for hogs. There are not many of
these trees in this County. He thinks
every farmer should have several of them
for their hogs.
A telegram to relatives in this city was
received on Wednesday, the 3Oth Of

lowing day records the sad event as fol-
lows: sCapt A. F. Edwards, living at

identified with Florence, and his business
and church interests were connected with
this place. He was member OF the
Florence Baptist Church, and prominent
in all affairs of church, and at the time of
his death was President of the Baptist
County Sunday School Convention. He
has large acquaintance throughout the

Emma L. Alexander, daughter by a
former marriage of Mrs. DR.. w. X. Sharp,

Little Emma was model of sweetness

"Child's Prayer
"But the kind Shepherd found her.
Laid her upon Ills breast,
Folded His arms around her,
flushed her to endlessness.n
"He bore her up tho mountain,
lie trampled down the foe,
He laid her by lifes fountain,
Whence the still waters aow."

AT WASHINGTON.

Mr.. Randall has taken the trouble to
deny that he is preparing tariff bill.
In the Senate the first day of the ses-
sion Mr. Frye introduced bill for pub
lie building at Houlton, Maine, and one
for the encouragement of the American
merchant marine is the one introduced by
him last year. 1t embodics the subsidy
claim of the last post office appropriation
bill.
Senator Hoar introduced bill to per-
nit the owners of any American vessel
in the United States merchant marine,
and the owners or underwriters of the
cargoes laden on such vessels to sue the
United States in any United States dis
trict court for damages or loss resulting
from the fault of any person in charge of
a vessel belonging to the United States.
Senator Cameron offered a resolution
declaring that it was inexpedient to pass
any legislation looking to reduction of
tariff duties.
1t seems to be settled that the Republi-
can Senators will confirm all good men
appointed by the Administration to fill
offices where the commissions have ex-
PRED. In cases, however, where officials
have been removed for alleged cause, it is
understood that the Administration will
be called upon for proof.
In the matter of the appointments in
Maine there is reason to think that there
will be united opposition on the part of
the Senators from that State to all per-
sons who were connected with the Garce-
lon fraud. In the category is likely to be
included Pillsbury, Collector of Internal
Revenue at Boston. Some Republican
Senators advocate the discussion of these
nominations in open session.
The bill which Mr.. Edmunds has intro
duccd with regard t. the Mormon Church
| is not in any sense a bill of conhscatiOn
of Mormon property, as has been reported
| to-day The Mormon Church is body
corporate under the laws of the so-called
State of Deseret, which laws were made
part of the Territorial laws of Utah when
| Buchanan made Brigham Young Governor
/ of that Territory. This act of incorpora-
| ton confers on the Mormon Church the
widest possible political powers, entirely
outside of any legitimate church purpose.
Mr.. Edmund's bill proposes to repeal
those powers simply. II is the same bill
which passed the Senate by three
| fonrths vote during the last Congress.
