The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1892-07-07

- The Peoples party Convention in
Montana nominated lady, Miss Emma
Knowles, for Attorney General Of the
State.
= There are about II 100000 women in
Italy, and some 100000 of them are en-
gagged in industrial occupations, while
more than 100000 labor in the fields.
= There are now nearly 500 electric
railways in the United States, with near
ly 1000 miles of track. Over $50 900, 900
passengers are safely transported yearly.
One of the richest brewers in Europe
is Dreher, of Vienna, who is reported to
be worth forty million dollars, to which
tie profits of his breweries add two mil
lions year. Yet he spends no more
than if his income amounted to only so
many thousands and never givesa cent to
charity.
= The national election this year will
take place on November s. Members of
the House Of Representatives from all the
States but three, Governors or other State
officers in most of the States and Legis-
latures in over half Of the States will be
elacted on that day, in addition to the
President and Vice President.
- Among the other great things in this
country the number of Its high noun
tains is remarkable feature. There are
$50 mountains in the United States each
exceeding 10000 feet in height. The
greatest number are found in Colorado
and Utah. In Alaska there are five which
exceed Is, 900 feet, and Mount Elias, 49,
500 feet high, is the loftiest peak in the
United States territory.
- The Abbeville Medium says: "We
consider ourselves a pretty good judge OF
babies. In long time we have not seen
brighter or handsomer baby than that OF
r. P. Davis, Of Level Land, who had it
in town with him on Saturday. The
child has the eyes Of its father, but the
face and smile Of its mother" We take
it for granted that r. P. Davis, of Level
Land. is level-headed enough to observe
that this is election year, and that it is his
ballot more than his baby that the editor
of the Medium, is after.
- DR.. Pierson, who has 80 acceptably
filed Spurgeon's pulpit for several
months, recently preached q sermon ask
ing for money. He inquired why some
of his auditors would not give up smok-
ing and devote the results ofthis economy
to charity, and suggested that ladies like
wise make sacrifices by selling, or send
ing him to sell, some of their jewelry. The
very next evening, while he was sitting
with his deacons in council, a box was
handed into the room, and, upon exami-
nation, was found to be full of costly jew
els.
1t doesn't require an expert to tell
whether diamond is genuine or not.
The test is very simple and can be made
in any -lace and in a moment. All you
need is lead pencil and piece Of paper.
With the former make small dot on the
paper, then look at it through the dia-
mond. Ifyou can see but one dot you can
depend upon it that the stone is genu-
inc but if the mark is scattered, or shows
more than one, you will be perfectly safe
in refusing to pay 10 cents for stone that
may be offered you at $500.
With the usual intelligent tact the
Reqister says: "Why don't the ring OF :
gans publish list of the negroes lynohed
under other administrations than Till
mans? How about the Hamburg and
Ellenton riots? They might tread upon
the corns of their own leaders," The
Hamburg and Ellenton riots occurred un-
der Cham berlain's administration, and it
has been generally understood that the
principal campaign service of B. r. Till
man in 1876 was done at Hamburg. 1t
would probably be unfortunate Just now
to bring up his connection with that af-
fair.-GreenvilIe NeaOs.
-"Baby" Ruth Cleveland is in the cam
paign. She made her first appearance in
the wigwam at Chicago on Wednesday
last. Over the purple or crimson or yell
low of the garish badges on the breasts Of
many delegate and boomer that day
there fluttered tiny strip Of white silk
ribbon on which appeared in gold letters
"Baby Ruth" Whence the little en-
blems came no one seemed to know, but
the big, brawny, bearded politicians wore
the baby girls insignia as proudly as
they displayed the oolors Of her great
statesman father.
= One of the novelties Of the day is the
"mirror glove" A woman has often need
of as much looking-glass as she can see
her face in. In the street, at a ball, at
theatre, in the shops, all sorts of disar-
rangements may occur and to set them
right mirror is an absolute necessity.
The want is one that really has been long
felt, and some clumsy attempts have been
made to meet It. But the very handiest
form ofportable mirror is the new "mir-
ror glove" A little flap is buttoned up
into the palm of one glove. When it is
let down small circular mirror is dis
closed. The advantage of this arrange
ment is said to be that the wearer can
look at herself without looking as if she
were looking.
- The Electoral College this year will
have IA votes, making 229 the majority
the winner in the Presidential race must
have. The solid South will give, it is be-
lievd. 159 Of these votes. New Jersey will
add 10 and Michigan at least four, bring
ing the sure votes to 173. Connecticut
will probably add 6votes, Indiana Is and
New York 36, making the welcome total
of230. If, therefore, the Democrats do as
woll this year as they did in 1876 and 1854
they will win. They think they have
new chances in various Western States
that they have never had before. 1t is
not at all unlikely that they will have
enough new Western electoral votes to
be able to do without New York's 36.
Still New York's 36 will be "handy," and
the chances are that tho Democracy will
