The Greenville News, of last Sunday,
says: "Gitizens from Anderson County
in town yesterday told strange story OF
two bears which are frightening every body
living in the neighborhood of Dunham's
Bridge in that county Ths bears, it
seems, live in the dense swamps along the
banks of the Saluda They have not been
seen in the day time, but have appeared
several times at night. It is said that sew
eral people have been chased long dis
tances by the bears. It Is supposed they
are performing bears which have escaped
from some Italian or Turk. Anderson
people deny that the animals are. blind
tigers"
An exchange says there has been any
mum ber of plans suggested as to how best
to read the Scriptures through the year.
A new scheme has recently come to hand.
Space will not allow Of complete analy-
sis of this plan and copy Of the cable.
But the following sentences will give
good idea as to the mode OF procedure ::
Read three chapters daily, and five on the
Sabbath-that is, two chapters In the Old
Testament and one in the New Testament
daily and on the Sabbath-in Psalms, Pro-
verbs, Ecclesiastes, Solomon's Song and
the New Testament. This will take you
through the Bible in 364 days. Five
chapters a week will go through the New
Testament in a year.
Mr.. John o Donnell was arraigned be-
fore Trial Justice Gilmer last Friday for
violating the Dispensary law. The State
was represented by Mr.. Breazeale, and the
Defendant by Messrs. E. B. Murray and
Geo. E. Prince. The Jury which heard
the case was composed of-the following
we'll. known citizens: Messrs. A.. 8. Ste-
pens. r Y. 81 Nance, r. s Ligon, A. P.
Hubbard, E. W. Brown and E. NJ. Snipes.
The State had several witnesses, one of
whom swore that Gov. Tillman told him
that any man who reported q case for vio.
lation of the Dispensary law, with proof to
convict would be paid in case of white
man S25 and $lG in case of negro. The
defense did not pat up witness, and the
Jury was not long In finding a verdict OF
not guilty.
The Columbia State of Sunday says:
"Anderson is the next city to meet the
disapproval of the State Board of Control
and, in all probability, she will lose her
quota of dispensary profits allowed by
law. Some time ago the County Board OF
control of that County wrote the Governor
that "blind tigers" covered the town from
ore end to the other, and The presumption
naturally is that they were seriously inter-
fering with the sale of dispensary liquor,
which is the case everywhere else. The
complaint was not given out. however,
but the Governor has sent reply, in
which be tells the Board that unless the
authorities Of Anderson strictly enforce
the law and put an end to the blind tigers,
its portion Of the profits will be withheld.
It is understood that the Governor will
ask the authorities, or rather permit them,
to appear before the State Board and say
what they are going to do about it."

Col. Andrew D. Jones, of Baltimore,
was in our city last week, and, like most
strangers, was quite favorably impressed.
He thinks the general appearance Of our
place unmistakably indicates prosperity,
and considers the excellence Of ou- hotel
as 8 subject of congratulation. He is q
member Of that well known and reliable
firm of Woodward, Baldwin q Co., which
has offices both in Baltimore and New
York, and are selling agents for our Cot
ton Mill, as we'll as Piedmont and many
others in the South. 1t was his first visit,
aud was much gratifed, indeed, to find
our Mill frst-class in every particular,
and being a gentleman of thirty years
successful experience in his business, his
opinion of course is high authority. He
was elected member of the Board OF Di.
rectors, to fill the vacancy caused by the
death uf Gen. w. W. Humphreys, as bis
firm had placed quantity of stock in Bal
timore, and it wae right, OF course, tor that
city to have representative IN the Direc-
tors.
The Columbia Journal, of last Monday,
says: Representative Cole L. Blease, of
Newberry, was in the city last night,
domiciled at the Jerome. In reply to a
query from a Journal man Mr.. Blease
remarked that he had not said that he
would be candidate for Congress against
Latimer in the Third. "Nor," continued
Mr.. Blease, "haye said that I would
not be. am not in politics at this par
ticular moment and don't know what
Pm going to do" Mr.. Blease thinks it
not i'm probable that delegation will be
sent from Newberry to March Conven-
ton of Reformers if one is called. He
fayors such a convention and farmer
for Governor, Mr.. Blease's presence
here recalls the fact that the politicians OF
the Third District are already exercising
themselves over the Congressional elec.
tiou. 1t is limited that one Of the Keitts
may harbor notion of making the race
as Populists, although 1t is not to be
predicted that he would run against Lati-
