The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1888-04-05

publishers of the Directory assert that the
impression that when the proprietor of q
newspaper undertakes to state what has
been his exact circulation, he does not
generally tell the truth is an erroneous
one: and they conspicuously offer re-
ward of 800 for every instance in their
book for this year, where it can be shown
that the detailed report received from q
publisher was untrue.
l. A meeting of the members of Grace
(EpiscopaD Church was held Monday
afternoon, at which the following officers
were elected: Wardens, E. A. Bell and G.
w. Webb; Vestrymen, r. s. Porcher, s.
NJ. Orr E. M. Rucker, F. G. Brown, R. r.
Belcher, R. c. Webb, E. w. Taylor.
Messrs. E. A. Bell, Fred g. Brown, s. M.
Orr and E. NJ. Rucker were elected dele
gates to the Diocesan Convention, which
meets here on May End. At this Conven-
.tion the position of the negro in the Epis-
copal Church will .,robably be defined,
and his right to a seat and vote in the Con-
/; vention will be settled. These are very
:, important questions in the Episcopal
Church at this time, and whatever action
is taken should be carefully considered.
Another change in the schedule of the
Savannah Valley Railroad occurred last
Sunday, and the change is certainly more
favorable to the business interests of
Anderson than the one in operation last
week: The train leaves Anderson at 6.20
a. M, and returns at Las p. m. In the
afternoon this same train leaves Ander-
son at p. M, and goes as far as Lowndes-
vile, from which place it Immediately re-
turns, arriving in Anderson at 7 p. m.
This schedule will be great convenience
to people living along the line as far down
as sLowndesville, as it will enable them
to come to Anderson OH the Las train and
return home the same afternoon at p.
m., thus giving them more than three
hours in the city. We will publish the
new schedule in full next week.
We are informed that it is reported in
some sections of the State that Anderson
would not be able to accommodate the
South Carolina Episcopal Convention,
which is to convene in this city Wednes-
day. May End. Thi. repor- We think, is
an injustice to Anderson. The Conven-
ton, we are told, is usually attended by
about one hundred delegates, and it will
be an easy matter to entertain that num-
ber in our midst In years past Anderson
has entertained the Presbyterian Synod,
the Baptist State Convention and the
Methodist Annual Conference, all of which
are much larger. bodies than the Episco-
pal Convention. Our homes will all be
thrown open to our Episcopalian friends,
and they will meet with cordial recep-
tion from our whole people. Every dele.
gate who may attend the Convention will
be provided With comfortable home.

Master for this jurisdiction, succeeded in
getting ffty-four names on his list as
charter members, and made very favor
able impression on our people. The
order has taken a strong hold on our
people, and it is confidently expected that
its members will continue to increase.

have been very enthusiastic one, and all
the members seem we'll pleased. The
Lodge takes its name from our lamented
fellow-townsman, Hon. James L. Orr.

Last Saturday the road leading from
Beaverdam Church to Piercetown was
being worked. About the time the hands
were ready to quit work, Frank Pool and
Duff Rhodes, both white, goti dis
pute over a shovel which Pool said he
borrowed from Capt. Williams, Rhodes
claiming it was his shovel. They finally
decided to settle the dispute by fair fight,
and consequently at it they went. Pool
gained the victory, to which Rhodes
reluctantly yielded. At the result of
this settlement Dock Donaldson was
very much displeased, and began to curse
and abuse Pool, who started home. After
being followed for some distance Pool
turned and said to the negro that he must
hush cursing him, and stop following him.
Only few words were passed when both
began striking at each other with the
shovel. Several licks were made before
any harm was done. But after so long
time Pool struck Dock on the head with
the edge of his shovel inflicting very
