A Card.


The following is the report of the gentle
men who were selected to investigate the
charges against Mrs. Reese in reference to
the recent burnings in our city:
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
County OF ANDERsoN.
To tuhon. IL may concern:
At the request Of friends of Mrs. Mary %:
Reese, we have heard the statement Of all
parties having knowledge of their ewn OF in
formation from others, tending to show Mrs.
Keese's connection with the recent fires In
Anderson, as far as we could ascertain them.
and also the explanation and statement Of
Mrs. Reese concerning these matters, and
after considering the same, we are OF the
opinion the facts as stated and the circum-
stances ascertained are not sufficient to war
rant the prosecution Of Mrs. Reese, and her
explanation of these facts and circum-
stances conYinces us that Mrs. Reese is
innocent Of the accusation, and that she
Is suspicioned without sufficient evidence
to justify the same. G.. f. ToLLY,

High Shoals Items.

The High Shoals Sunday School, re-
Gently organized by the young people Of
the neighborhood. is now in good rum
ming order. The young people certainly
deserve credit for the great interest they
have taken in this laudable work. Col.
Campbell, the champion Sunday School
worker of Eureka, kindly assisted in the
organization, which took place May g.,
about forty members having enrolled.
Mr.. NJ. o. Ligon was elected superinten-
dent, with Mr.. A. A. Carpenter as assistant
superintendent. The school was then
classified and teachers elected. A collec-
ton was taken up for the purpose Of pur-
chasing an organ. The amount sub
scribed, together with some outside help,
for which many thanks are rendered, was
sufficient to purchase splendid organ,
which was there ready for use the next
Sunday. The school is under obligation
to Mr.. Willis for the sweet music fur.
nlshed by him last Sunday. "There is no
such word as fail" seems to be the motto
of all; and, though few in number, If the
right spirit Of working for the Master pre-
walls, SUCCESS is bound to follow. Our
superintendent in his every act shows q
love for the Masters cause, which is
indeed remarkable for one so young.
His example will live and grow in the
hearts of those associated with him, and
we predict for him happy and useful life
in the accomplishment of much good.
There were some visitors present also on
the occasion, who seemed to enjoy the
proceedings, and contributed their part in
enhancing the happiness of all, among
whom was the venerable w. ]. Ligon,
professor in the Patrick's Military Insti-
tute, and also Maj. T. F. Anderson, of
Williamson, who offered very appro.
pirate prayer, invoking Gods blessings
on all those engaged in this noble work,
both of whom we hope will visit us again
soon.

Baptist Sunday School Picnic.


MEssRs EDITORS: Last Saturday the
Anderson Baptist Sunday School pic
niced at the wildwood" place, on the
Savannah River, three miles from Hester,
on the s. v. r. R.
AS the sun rose, groups were seen
vending their way to the depot to take
the train, which left at six O'Clock.
Some of the crowd had bait gourds and
fishing tackle, others went prepared to
fish without bait or tackle.
The Young America Cornet Band was
one of the chief attractions.
It was beautiful. bright day, and
everything seemed to conspire to make
the day most enjoyable.
At Hester's conveyances were in wait
ing to help the children to the river. The
crowd reached the residence of Col. James
Edward Calhoun, known as the "Mill-
wood Place." about nine O'clock. The
band discoursed some very sweet music,
and Immediately the pic mic was in full
blast.
Fishing, boat riding and viewing the
scenery, wereindufged in,by -picnicers.
But the fish that were in the river, and
for which we had to fish with hooks
baited, would not bite much, and most Of
that class Of fishers were rather disap-
pointed.
at about II o'clock the band called the
lads and lasses together for dinner, to
which there was full response. A spe.
cial deputation was sent to invite and es-
cort Col. Calhoun down to dine with the
school, all the lunch baskets having
been punched, and joint repast spread.
The Colonel came. and an elegant dinner
was enjoyed by all present.
After dinner the experiences of the fore
noon were repeated until about four
o'clock, at which time the beat of the base
drum announced the hour of a homeward
march, and with light and joyful hearts,
but tired frames, the picnicers made their
way back to Anderson.
The wildwood place. is situated on the
Savannah River, at "Patten's Shoals"
the most magnificent water power in the
United States. The shoals are abont
seven miles long, with near 200 feet fall,
and water enough to run all the machin-
cry in the South.
Col. Calhoun owns the river front on
both sides along these shoals, together
with other river front, making in all
about twenty-five miles river front. It is
magnificent place for manufacturing
city.
Col. Calhoun is about ninety years old,
but to Judge from his personal appearan-
ces and activity, one would not take him
to be more than sixty-fve or seventy
years old. His eyesight is perfectly good,
he never having used pair of spectacles.
He is man of intelligence, and large
stock of general information. His home
is quite romantic looking place, and has
about 1t many things to attract the atten-
ton of, and interest visitors. Among one
of the chief attractions was his tea trees,
from which the Col. gathers his own tea,
which he claims is of very superior
grade.
He spoke in very complimentary terms
of those attending this pic mic, and was
delighted with the Young America Band.
Many of those present carried away with
them kind recollections of Col. Calhoun.
Taken altogether, the Anderson Baptist
Sunday School picnic was one of the
most enjoyable occasions of the season.

has this to say about our young towns
man: sour beloved young friend, Mr..
julius Quattlebaum, after graduating
with distinction from the literary and Law
departments of the State University,
brayely hied him away to beautiful An
derson, the loveliest spot of the Piedmont
region, there to begin the battle of life.
This was six or eight months ago; and
when We arrived in Anderson to attend
the Episcopal Convention, we found, to
our great joy, that our young friend had
already become sure and settled Ander-
son man, well started in the law, and, if
Judged Alright, securely grounded in the
respect and confidence Of the people. And
we can assure our Anderson friends that
never have they more wisely bestowed
their respect and confidence than in this
case. julius Quatt1ebaum is man whom
it is supremely safe to tie to. We know
that hundreds of his Edgefeld and Lex
ington friends, equally with ourself, will
rejoice at the pleasant fact We narrate."
