The members Of st. Pauls Baptist
/ Church (colored) of this city are making
an effort to build parsonage for their
pastor, Rev, j. W. Scott, who has been
soliciting subscriptions for that purpose
for several days past. Their white friends
haye contributed literally to the enter
prize which is a worthy one, and the
congregation hope to be able to begin
work on the building at an early day.
Any contributions given to the pastor will
be thankfully received.
Judge W. F. Cox and Mr.. Saml g. Ba-
ker visited Greenville last Friday on very
important business. Mr.. Baker returned
home on the first train Saturday morning,
but the Judge did not reach here until
Monday morning. From the broad
smile that has adorned the Judges lovely
countenance since his return, and from
the fact that he has given an order for q
"dyke'' coat, with pants and vest to
match, his friends believe that he will
surely cease being an old bachelor at an
early day.
You will see in another column few
lines from the progressive firm Of e. w.
Brown q Sons. This firm has already
gained reputation for selling goods
cheap. One day last week gentleman
from Mt. Carmel, who had been doing his
trading in Augusta since the completion
of the s.. v. R. r., came to Anderson. He
soon found it was to his interest to buy
his goods In Anderson, consequently he
purchased large bill from E. W. Brown
q Sons, and went home feeling that the
merchants of Anderson are selling goods
right square down for the cash.

A prominent farmer Of the County
made suggestion in our presence last
Monday worthy of the attention of our
city fathers. He said that on public
days in Anderson he had noticed that
there was not sufficient number of
racks on our streets to accommodate the
horses Of our friends from the County,
and suggested that few more racks
ought to be erected, and that the Council
should establish wagon yard for the
convenience of those who come to our
market from distance and are compelled
to spend night in our midst. We hope
the Council will look into this matter,
and see what can be done in reference to
lit.
The Columbia correspondent of the
.News aud Courier, under date of the 4th
inst, says: Gov. Richardson has par,
doned Laura Moore, who was convicted at
the October, 1884, term of Court for An.
derson County, Of burglary, and sentenced
by Judge Aldrich to life imprisonment in
the Penitentiary. Her case was appealed
and went up to the Supreme Court. The
legal fight over it lasted about two years,
which che spent in Jail. She has been in
the Penitentiary since the summer of 1887.
.As the punishment for burglary has since
been reduced, and her crime was not an
extraordinary one, the Solicitor (Col. ORR
who prosecuted her and the Judge who
sentenced her endorsed the application for
her pardon.
Last Thursday morning Easter Warden,
young colored woman, who resided in
the southeastern suburbs of the city, was
found dead in her room. The house In
which she lived was two.story building,
and was occupied by two or three fami-
lies. About 9 o'clock Thursday morning
ono Of the occupants of the house, a negro
woman, heard a noise, like some one fall
ing in Casters room, and, upon going
to the door, found 1t locked or bolted.
She called Easter, and getting no response,
broke the door open, when she found her
on the floor dead. A messenger was at
once sent to Coroner Nance, who, together
with DR.. Frierson, went to the house.
When they arrived there the dead woman
was warm. DR.. Frierson examined her
aud found that her neck was broken.
There were no bruises or marks Of vio-
.lence on her person. Coroner Nance sum-
moned Jury and held an inquest. The
Jury, after hearing all the evidence possi-
BILE, rendered verdict that the woman
"Came to her death by having her
neck broken by causes unknown" to them.
The woman was apparently strong and
healthy, and had not complained of being
sick. How she broke her neck is mys.
terry, and will probably ever remain so.
The debate at the Patrick Military In.
stitute on last Friday evening was quite
interesting. The question for discussion
was as follows Resolved, ''That Hope is a
greater incentive to action than Fear"
After the preliminary exercises, in which
Cadet Talbert, Of Edgefeld, presided, the
subject of debate was announced by the
President, and Cadet Percy Sharpe opened
the debate in very we'll put speech,
in which the affirmative Of the above
question was championed. Cadet George
Miller then made very good speech on
the negative side Of the question, in which
he INDUCED in some rather sharp criti-
cisms Of his antagonists. Cadet Gray, Of
Newberry, closed the affirmative side Of
the debate in a very carefully prepared
speech, and Cadet Lowrance, of Columbia,
! n1oeed for the Negative. The speeches
