"How is your crop doing?" "It is dry
and needing rain badly" is the question
and answer most frequently heard in
farming circles these days of heat and
drought. Verify, rain is needed to help
upland corn to make nything like crop.
A few more days like last Saturday and
Sunday will materially damage crops.
We are placed under many obligations
to our good friend, Dallas Morrison, for
sending US the greatest curiosity in the
chicken line it was ever our pleasure to
see. It was a chicken with four legs
four perfectly formed legs, and all of them
of equal and ordinary size. The front pair
of legs occupied about the natural posi-.
ton of chicken legs, while just behind
these, and placed rather high on the back,
were another pair, similar in construction
to the others. With the exception of the
extra pair of legs, and beak like a
ducks, it resembled a chicken. 1t only
had two wings.
Master Edwin Jolley is getting in some

from point of beak to end of toe, five feet

Conclusion of the Investigation.

The preliminary hearings in the cases of
the State 5. Mrs. M. j.. Reese have been
terminated, and all were sent to the Court
of General Sessions for further investiga-
ton. She is now charged with arson in
two cases -one for burning Mr.. L. n. Seel's
barn and stables, and the other for burn
ing Mrs. G. D. Bewley's residence. She is
also charged with forgery, one allegation
being that she forged and passed an order
purporting to be signed by Ms. ]. Trow-
bridge to Mr.. w. A. Chapman. The
amount of the goods ordered was about
nine dollars.
The bond in the first case of arson was
fixed by Judge Wallace at $500, which
was given with Mr.. F. ]. Pelzer as security.
The other bonds have not yet been given,
but is understood that they will be fixed
at 81 600 for the arson case and $500 for the
forgery case.
Stree the termination Of these investiga-
tions Mrs. Keese has been allowed TO go at
liberty on the first bond given. Our citi-
zens desire nothing but fair investigation,
and if she is no. guilty they do not wish
to see her punished. No person charged
with three felonies, two of which are capi-
tai, has ever been treated with more SYM
pathy and tender regard than has Mrs.
Reese. She has never been put in prison,
but was allowed to remain at her own home
without bond for several days, and when
no bond had been given in two cases, she
was still allowed to have her liberty. She
has the sympathy Of all our citizens, and
they are not seeking innocent blood, but
truth and justice. Somebody burned the
houses, and every effort should be made to
find and punish the guilty.
It is but just that, Mrs. Reese should have
an opportunity to explain away, if she
can, the suspicious circumstances which
point toward her in connection with these
fires. If she is innocent it is to her inter-
est to have jury say so.

statement made in my announcement as
a candidate for Sheriff, submit the follow
ing6tatement
1 was not candidate for Sheriff in 1886,
nor do make this statement to influence
any voter in Anderson County, but simply
to show how things were done during my
terms of Office as Sheriff. The Fee Bill in
force at the time was as follows: For con.
veying prisoners from one place to anoth-
er, besides ell necessary expenses and re.
turning, ten cents per mile. This was held
in the case of the Charleston Sheriff by
judicial decision to authorize the Sheriff to
charge mileage for every separate prisoner.
My practice was to charge but one mile
age, whether carried one or one dozen
prisoners to the Penitentiary. During my
two terms of office I carried to the Peni.
tentiary eighty.two prisoners at q cost of
Sl85G per capita, always taking more than
one at time, but charging only one mile
age for the whole. Had my accounts been
IN the Charleston case, it would have been
for carrying eighty-tWo prisoners or con-
Yicts to Columbia st $4,000 per capita, or
So, $4,000. That is what is said to have
been charged by the Charleston official.
My real charges, as above stated, eighty
two convicts, sl656 per capita, $l,35, 81

ship, died last Saturday evening, after q
painful illness of several weeks, aged
about 20 years. The announcement OF
her death was heard with sorrow by q
host of friends and acquaintanccs, for she
was young lady OF many virtues and
many admirable traits of character, and
was greatly beloved and highly esteemed
by all who knew her. Oh how sad it is
to think of once happy home made des-
olate by the removal of one SO young and
fair, just entering womanhood, with the
fattering prospects of long and happy
life. But so it is. Gods ways are past
finding out. She was an active and con-
sistent member of Roberts Church, and
her sonl now rests in that bright realm
above. The bereaved parents and family
of the deceased have many sympathizers
in their bereavement. The remains were
inferred in the cemetery at Roberts Church
on Sunday, Rev. Mr.. Ligon conducting
the funeral services.
There was 4th of July Celebration at
Bethesda Church, in Brushy Creek Town
ship, last week. II was in re interest Of
the Sunday Schools of that vicinity, and
was very largely attended, the number
present being estimated at abouca thous-
and. A stand had been erected in the
grove across the road from the Church,
with seats arranged for the audience.
Shortly after 0 o'clock procession of the
Sunday Schools was formed, and marched
down the road several hun dred yards and
back to the stand. It was fine display of
the Sunday Schools of that community.
After the procession was over and the
crowd had assembled at the stand, che
exercises of the occasion was opened with
prayer by Rev. g. NJ. Rogers. There
were FIVE Sunday Schools represented, and
each School selected its own speaker. The
speeches were interspersed with music.
The following gentlemen spoke in the or
der named: Rev. A. w. Walker, Hon. NJ.
f. Ansel, Rev. r. A. Child, G. E. Prince,
Esq, and G. Wardlaw, ESQ.,, after which
most abundant and elegant dinner was
spread. It is said to have been the most
elegant dinner that has been served at a
basket dinner pic ME in years. Brushy
Greek can do justice to such an occasion
as 4hat.., After dinner Rev. E. McKisick

To 0hon, IL may Concern:
At the request Of Mr.. James FL. Nc
Conrell, certify that as Chairman of the
Democratic party in Anderson County
during the canvass of 1884, after the prima.
ry election, heard that Mr.. Mcconnell
would bp run as an independent candidate
for Sheriff in this County, and on the oc-
casion of mass meeting of the Democracy

tho Court House, went to him and re.
quested that he should publicly declare
before the meeting that he would not in

as near rs l can recall his expressions, that
he was not a candidate for Sheriff in that
election, and intended to vote the regular
Democratic ticket aud expressed the hope
ttGt zone of his friends would vote for
him in that election.
