Mr.. H. S. Shumate and family have
been visiting relatives in Laurens.
Miss Lula Shirley has been sick for some
days, but we hope she will soon be well
again.
We notice that the people Of the Broad.
mouth community have cleaned OF. their
cemetery and churchyard. Some such
work is very much needed about Honea
Path.
A number of our people attended the
Sunday School Convention.
Mr.. B. M. Cheathanl is teaching school
at Saluda.
Mr.. G. E. Burts is teaching school at
Cleveland.
Mrs. W. A. Davis is visiting relatives
near Piedmont.
The meeting at the Baptist Church closed
last Wednesday.
Meeting began at the Presbyterian
Church last Sunday, and will continue q
few days.
There will be meeting of the Honea
Path Democratic Club next Saturday Of
ternoon.
We understand that Mr.. j. W. Ashley
will be q candidate for the Legislature:
He is we'll known over the County, and
will no doubt get strong support.
Mr.. J. r. Donnald is preparing to build
warehouse for the Alliance store.
We have spoken to many farmers in re-
gard to the sub. Treasury bill and have not
found one in favor of it. They realize
that bill to benefit the farmers of the
Northwest does not mean bill to benefit
the farmers of the South. One farmer said
that it might be benefit, as it would raise
the price Of provisions to such an extent rs
to compel farmers to raise their own sup.
plies.
When the bridge at Holidays Ford is
built, it will connect Honea Path with q
fine farming country just across the river.
and doubtless greatly increase the trade of
the town. No small town on the G. q; G.
r. r. now has better trade than Honea
Path, and with this addition she will
probably enter on even more prosperous
career. The population is now almost
three times what it was ten years ago, and
with people working together, with
hourishing trade and fine school, we
hope to see even greater increase in the
next ten years.
There is more building going on in
Honea Path now than at any time in iGs
past history, and number of others are
expecting to commence building soon.
Let the good work roll on, and let others
come in, and join with US. We will make
you room and will certainly give you
warm welcome. POP.

Corner Items.

An eight.weeks drought in this imme.
diate section was brought to close on
last Thursday by q general good rain.
The early corn can be little benefited by
the rain, and cotton has suffered consider
able damage.
The reunion Of Company "Fo' OF 24th
Regiment, which came off at Cooks on
last Wednesday was very much enjoyed.
A large crowd was present from adjoining
Counties and Georgia, and the best of
order prevailed throughout the day. The
morning exercises were devoted to short
speeches from members of the Company.
Gen. Capera, who was anxiously expected
to be present, failed to reach there, which
was a great disappointment to his old
friends and soldiers. Alta private meeting
of the Company in the afternoon, We
learn that it was decided to hold their
next annual reunion at Carswell Institute,
to which the entire Regiment would be
invited. This Company volunteered in
January, 1aG2, aud served until the close
of the war. Their roll from beginning to
end footed up ono hundred and sixty or
more. CT that number, twenty.six were
killed in battle, fortyone died of disease
while in service, and goodly number
have died since the war, still leaving sixty
odd living, thirty-four of whom were
present at this their fourth reunion. The
afternoon vas given over to the carldi-
dates, and Messrs. L. B. Murray and G.
Wardlaw responded iu very interesting
talks. Mai. Murray dwelt at some length
on present national issues. Though he
did not answer all the questions of the
Alliance catechisn1 just as they are re.
quired still some of tue people were led
- ,ix,1r of Nf in
quite different light to that they had
hitherto done, and We are satisfied be has
done nothing to defeat bis chances to be
our next representative in Congress.
Prof. McElroy has purchased lot near
the Academy and Is now engaged in the
erection Of neat cottage thereon. The
people are now hopeful that he is fixture
in their midst.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. w. Sherard are off
on visit to Jefferson, Jackson County,
Ca, to the brother of the former, Capt. 8.
W. Sherard, who moved from this neigh
borhood several years ago.
On Saturday evening" 18th inst, during
little thlnder storm, the Academy ut
Barnes Station was struck by lightning.
The damage to the building is not very
great, and fortunately no one was in the
building. The Alliance had been in ses-
sion there short while before.
About tp7o weeks ago young merchant
at Cooks drove off from said place, horse
feed in buggy, and according to evidence
he has not yet returned. Hope nothing
serious has happened. No reward offered
as yet.
We are glad to see that the two factions
in this County are getting so much more
tolerant one towards the other. In one
Club where the Tillmanites are in the ma
jority, they concluded not to give the
antics delegate to the County Conven-
tion, but they would be charitable enough
to allow them to nominate their man and
vote for him if they choose.
Come to the Centennial on Saturday,

Mr.. r. Y. Dyar came very near losing
his life one day quite recently in his we'll
the we'll, as we mentioned some time ago,
having gas in it. He was was down in it
preparing for a blast, when he began to
feel the effects of the gas. He gave the
signal and was drawn up, but on reaching
the top he was found to be unconscious
and in the act of falling back, when he
was caught. The we'll is about tifty-tw0
feet deep. 1t was very narrow escape,
and if Providence had not interfered, we
shudder to think what would have been
the consequences. We feel for Mr.. Dyar
in his misfortune. He is hard-Wo orking
and Industrious young man,. who has
spent great deal on the we'll, and will
have to give it up.
Messrs. VIM. Orr and Joseph P. Dodd,
of West Union, have been visiting rela-

We have often heard OF tangled up bu-

OF the worst cases in this section. Mr.. j. /.
N. Wright settled a place few years ago,
building good dwelling and all necessary
outbuildings, and joining the land of Mr..

Wright found that his barn and we'll were
on Mr.. McAdams' land, and his dwellingsis
Just over the line about twelve feet.
Rev. j. T. w. Vernon will commence
protracted meeting at this Church next
Saturday. It is to be hoped much good
will be accomplished. Let the Church be
revived, and our thanks to God arise for
the blessings that have been bestowed
upon the people. We are afraid His bless
ings have not been appreciated as they
should be.
This section has been wonderfully
blessed with good seasons, and the crop
prospects are very promising.
Mr.. j. H. Price is running his saw mill
early and late to supply the demand for

pea,h of Col. william E. walters.

The sad news reached the city last Satur-
day morning that Col. VIM. E. Walters,
who lived in the Storeville section of the
County, was dead. Early that morning
Mrs. Walters entered his room and called
him to get up. Not receiving any response
she again called him, and, again not get.
ting any response, she approached his bed.
and was shocked to find him dead. For
several years past he had been afflicted
with that terrible disease, cancer of the
face. 1t had been slowly eating Its way,
reached q vein on his face, which produced
a hemorrhage and caused his death. When
his wife approached him his head was in
pool OF blood, and it is supposed he died
without struggle.
Col Walters was, perhaps one CT the
best known citizens in Anderson County.
He was born and reared in Hart County,
Ga. When about 1S years of age he came
to Anderson County to take charge of q
school at New Prospect Church. He con-
tinued to teach school there and at other
places in the County for several years.
His education was limited, but possessing
considerable energy and very bright
mind, he studied hard, and in few years
was given professorship in Johnson Fe-
male University, in Anderson, which was
then recognized as one of the leading in
stitutions in the State. In the meantime
Col. Walters had been licensed to preach
by the Baptist denomination, and he serv-
ed several Churches in the County. When
the war came on he entered the service Of
his country as private in the Fourth s. G.
Regiment. His health failing he returned
home, but soon returned to the army and
served as Chaplain. After the war he re.
turned to Anderson and founded the An
derson appeal and the South Carolina Bap-
tist. These papers were published for
wear or two, and the former was consoli
dated with the INTELLIGENcER, which he
and Col. J. A. Hoyt published for some
time, when Col. Walters retired from jour-
nalism.
For number of years Col. Walters
served most faithfully as Moderator of the
Saluda Baptist Association, and was
most interesting and able preacher, doing
good work for the Church whenever an
opportunity presented itself. He possessed
a very genial, courteous disposition, and
fact, he was at one time one of the most
popular citizens of the County, and was
held in high esteem by his friends. To
himself he was his worst enemy. For the
past twelve years or more he had not en-
gagged in the work of the Church, but had
quietly led the life of farmer. Since the
organization of the Alliance in this Coun-
ty, he had served as County Secretary, and
made most efficient officer.
Now that our departed friend has passed
s'o'er the river" let US throw the mantle Of
charity over his faults, and remember the
many good deeds he has done in years gone
by.
Col. Walters was 81 years Of age, and a
wife and six children survive him. His
remains we're inferred in the First Creek
Churchyard on Sunday, Rev. R. D. Smart
conducting the funeral services.
