take calm survey Of the now surging
mass of humanity. Some have exhausted
themselves and can no longer yell. but
are making wild gestures; some walk the
rostrum laughing, and some are exhorting
and in the back end Of the tent, the
young folks-lots of them-are finding
fine fun. We heard one young fellow
remark that it "beat circus" While
we are silently looking on and wishing
we were at home they bow in prayer,
still yelling, laughing, clapping their
hands and shouting, "Oh, Lordl we pray
thee to solemnize every heart in divine
tinues. A few minutes we listen and
they raise another hymn and the people
begin to get little quiet Now the
preacher steps out, reads his text, and,
we must say, breaches pretty fair SER
mon. His sermon finished, the music
starts up again and we have repetition
of the first act, supplemented by urgent
appeals to those that "haven't got it" to
"come and get it" "Just come right
along friends, come on! It's here for you,
come on! come on!" People stand up on
the benches again, everything is in an
uproar and excitement visible. The
hymn through, they again bow in prayer.
Everybody prayW we hear, and to hear
the cries and yells that arise one is almost
forced to look and see If the world isn't
on fire. In a few minutes they sing
another hymn and call on all that have
been benefited by the meeting to testify.
"Sing it outp' they are told, and they
proceed to "sing It out" This through
with, the preacher announces that "we
have got on such head of steam that the
meeting will run till next Sunday night"
instructs some one to take hat and
stand at the entrance 80 the people that
feel 80 disposed can contribute as they
pass out, and they rise and receive the
benediction.

The Right Ring About Them.
HENRY COUNTY, Va, Aug. Is, 1894

oENhI SOONI11 20 1Au6' @Vs A0oA'
Editors anderson Intelligencer: The
,resolutions Of the new City Council have
the right ring about them. The good peo-
pie of Anderson were tired OF being out
ragged by the lawless element, with the
knowledge and consent of at least the
majority of those charged with the conduct
of affairs. They elected the present Coun-
Gil to give Anderson clean government,
conducted in the interest of law and order
and common decency. And they do not
expect that Council to disappoint them.
do not believe it will. We would have
accomplished more In the direction Of re.
form If every man had done his duty whom
We had right to expect to do his duty.
And if some men had not done-weu, had
not done what We had never thought them
capable of doing. AS 1t was, we did more
than most people thought we would. The
result shows that we can elect suitable men
| to preside over the destinies Of Anderson,
and that We do not have to swallow the
nominations of the "blind tigers" 1t Is
because we have tamely submitted, and
have not been heroic and patriotic enough
to fight for home, God and our country
that We have been dominated by the saloon
30 long. Let every honest man stand by
the Council and let him speak out for law
anu QeCs6uCys i u6EcUy touO01 "J u6uo
and anything else have to the cause OF
honest government.
There was one thing about the fight for
reform and honor that gave nae hope and
pleasure, and that was the stand taken by
the young men Of Anderson. The major
ity Of them were on the right side. They
showed that our civilization is advancing.
It was not the young men, but the old men
and the prohibitionists that stood in the
way of temperance reform, and in support
of the administration Of "blind tigers'' In
Anderson.
Of course, this classification Is to be un.
derstood as general. There were young
men on the wrong sice, and old men and
prohibitionists on the right side, but as a
general classification the above are the facts
In the case. I believe in the young men
of Anderson. Most of them are alright
on moral questions. Let US hope that the
rest will reform.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you may lay on the
writer the whole responsibility for the sen.
timents expressed here and blame the
Council and its resolutions for this com mu.
nication.
Your humble servant is trying to keep
cool in the hills of Henry, and is succeed.

Shocking Murder in Atlanta.

A dispatch from Atlanta, Ca, under
date of the 24th inst, says:
alexander Carr emptied five-cham-
bered pistol into H. o. King in South
Broad street here this afternoon, then
tossed the pistol away and folded his
arms and waited for policeman. King
is well-known man here and was con-
nected with prominent families. Carr
had been in his employ at pyrites mine
which King operated near Villa I2ica, in
this State. Carr says that King owed
him money, and the shooting grew out
of this Indebtedness. At o'clock the
two men came from the Inman building,
walked across Broad street and stood
talking for few minutes. Several per-
sons who were passing noticed that they
were quarrelling. J. H. Jacques, fore
man Of Postel's printing house, in front
of which the two men were standing,
says that Carr suddenly drew pistol
and shot King in the head. King stag
gered few PAGES and fell in the street.
Carr followed him up, stood over him
and fired four more bullets into his head.
Then he tossed the pistol at King and
walked off dozen yards. A great crowd
collected before the smoke had cleared
away and many who knew the dying
man, proposed to lynch Carr, who stood,
pale and nervous, with folded arms. A
policeman came up and drove the crowd
back. King was sent to the Grady Hos
pital, where he died at 6 o'clock. He
never spoke after being shot. Carr
made a statement tonight in which he
said that he had quarrelled with King
earlier in the day about the money due
him. Carr claims that they met acciden-
tally this afternoon and that after some
OF
to shoot him. Parties who were passing
at the time state that King did not have
pistol"
The above, we know, will be read with
sorrow throughout Anderson County,
where the deceased was we'll known and
has host of friends and relatives. Mr..
King was son of the late Josiah King,
and q grandson of the late VIM. Holmes,
both of whom were we'll known citizens
of this county. He was born and reared
in the Bolton section, and was about 90
years of age. He had been married three
times, his first wife being sister OF Col.
l.. E. Campbell, of Broadway Township.
He leaves four children: Miss Lula,
being daughter of his first wife; Walter,
aged eighteen, and Willie, girl aged
twelve, children of the second wife; and
Rosa May, little girl, the daughter OF
his last wife.
Mr.. King was most excellent, upright
citizen, and had made quite reputation
as an inventor. He served his country
faithfully through the war, and was
brave, daring soldier. His remains were
brought to Bolton and inferred last Sun
day. The verdict of the Coroner's Jury
was that the deceased came to his death
from wounds inflicted by a pistol in the
hands of Alex. Carr, and that the same is
murdar

Anderson before the war, and has resided
here ever since. He was twice married,
his first wife being Miss Maroney, and
his second wife Miss Dobbins. Mr.. Sharpe
was one of our most unobtrusive, peaceful
citizens, and was strictly upright and hon
orable in all of his dealings with his fell
low-man. He was man who attended
strictly to bis own business, and had few
enemies. He was member of the Bap-
tist Church, and gave evidence of being a
devoted Christian. On Tuesday morning,
after appropriate funeral services In the
Baptist Church, conducted by Rev. Fl. B.
were inferred in Silver Brook Cemetery.
Two children by his first marriage, and six
by his second are left to cherish the MEM
ory of devoted father. The sympathies
of our whole people 60 out to the
bereaved widow and children in their sor-
row.
Mr.. John W. Clinkscales, Of Carrollton,
Missouri, accompanied by his niece, Miss
Anna G. Clinkscales, spent last Saturday
night and part of Sunday with relatives
in Anderson. Mr.. Clinkscales belongs to
a branch of the Clinkscales family that
had been lost sight of by the family here
for the last one hundred years, and we
might say it was an accident that they
were discovered by those residing in South
Carolina. The originator of the family In
America came to this country about 13O
years ago and settled near Washington, in
Virginia. He had three sons. One came
to South Carolina, one moved to Missouri,
and the other remained in Virginia. John
W. Clinkscales belongs to numerous fam.
lily in the Northwest, and be came as their
representative to the re. union of the fami.
" at LowndesVille last week. We never
met q more perfect gentleman, and bis
niece, Miss Anna, captured the hearts of all
who met her. 1t was matter of sincere
regret that their stay in Anderson was 30
brief, and while it is hardly to be expected
that Mr.. Clinkscales will ever visit South
Carolina again, be being in his 72nd year,
we hope to see Miss Anna again. She will
receive warm welcome from her Ander-
son friends if she will consent to pay them
q visit in the future.

In MemorIam-W. B. Watson.

Having lived the allotted three score years and
ten together with other facts in his lie, feel
that he was ready and well prepared to meet the
summons to come up higher, and to receive the
welcome, "Well done, thou good and faithful ser.
want, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord" Mr..
Watson was quiet, unassuming, possessing all
those christian graces which TEND to make our
lives Christ-like. Dispensing charity wherever 1t
was needed in an unostentacious manner 80 that
frequently none knew Of 1t but the receiver, thus
he gained 70, himself true friends and the reward
promised, "Thy Father who seest In secret him
self shall reward thee openly"
A friend said Of him that he had known him In
the war as the true soldier, discharging his duty
faithfully; known him as a prosperous business
man, who never oppressed those In his power nor
took the advantage Of othors; known him In the
family circle, where he was the wise counsellor
and cheerful companion known him In his
Church relation, where he could always be relied
upon to hep promote his Masters cause In every
direction. He was ever retiring and never In his
life sought publicity, never holding an office In
public affairs, still he was deeply interested and
stood for the right no matter what odds wore
against him. If we had the confidence In all men
as We had in him, what perfect world we would
have. What an example to all young men was his
life Being affaDle and easy to approach, masy
would seek him with their joys and with their
sorrows, and always find sympathetic listener.
What calming influence and perfect assurance
fell upon the congregation when the song was
heard. TT is well with my soul, 1t Is well. 1t Is
said Of him that his only fault was his extreme
modesty. j. Il. W.
