Major T. F. Anderson, one of the best
known and most respected citizens of
Williamson, died at her homo in that
place yesterday. Mrs. Anderson was an
earnest Christian woman, lifelong
member of the Presbyterian church,
whose warm and kindly heart made her q
loved and valued member of the commu-
nifty. She was an intense sufferer from

Mr.. J. Fl. Zimmerman, one of Oconee
County's best citizens, gives the following
plan in the Walhalla Courier as to how to
bed out sweet potatoes: GAS the time is
approaching for bedding sweet potatoes,
thought would suggest to the farmers
Of the county, as well as towns and cities,
to make the experiment at least of bedding
your potatoes on end, instead of laying
them down as usual. A son Of mine
made the experiment last year, it being
suggested to him by AN old potato raiser.
and his potatoes bedded on the end
sprouted some two weeks sooner than
those laid down. Let the potato be put
in its natural position, with the large end
down."
We return thanks to Messrs. Eskew &
Watson for bushel of as fine corn meal
as we ever tasted. 1t was ground at their
new mill, situated about two miles North
of town, at Birmingham, s. c., better
known as White Hall. These gentlemen
have in successful operation at the above
place cotton gin, saw mill and grist
mill, and contemplate at an early day
putting up fine Touring mill, with all
the latest improvements. Mr.. Watson
has erected for himself beautiful two.
story dwelling, with many conveniences.
Both of these gentlemen are enterprising
and hard workers, and we are sure will
make their venture profitable. Success to
Birmingham.

Masonic Hall on Thursday evening, March
10Th. The Company are playing in the
largest cities of the Union, and are most
highly recommended by the entire press
of this country and Europe, and have the
hearty endorsement of the pulpit of both
countries. Mr.. Trowbridge deserves cred

other country. Further particulars will

Messrs. Prince E Vandiver, the attor-
neys for Jasper Davis, who is under SEN
tence of death for the murder of his wife,
have been and are still very energetic in |
behalf of their client. Having failed in
their defence in the Circuit Court, they |
appealed to the Supreme Court; and being |
unsuccessful tn ere, they are now seeking |
executive clemency, the last resort. Peti.
lions have been circulated, asking his
Excellency, John P. Richardson, to COM
mute his sentence to life imprisonment |
in the Penitentiary, on the ground of the
lunacy of the condemned man. Affida-
Wits are also being obtained from his
comrades in the late war, showing that he
has been subject to attacks of temporary |
insanity since boyhood.

Gen. Del Kemper, died at her home in

the employ Of Mr.. M. Berry Williams.
Kelly, who was the overseer, went hunt
ing and left Austin in charge with in
structions to keep the plows going, and
not to bother with the logs. Austin came
to the conclusion that tie logs ought to be
rolled frst, and accordingly stopped the
hands and began to roll them. While
this was being done, Kelly arrived and
some words were passed, then blows,
then shot from pistol by Kelly and
then rock by Austin. after this Aus
tin walked off about ten steps and fell.
