were only as SOBER industrious, prudent
and accommodating as he Is.
The day time now is more than twelve

The Anderson Post Office.

EDITORS INTELLraENCER: Our people
are becoming somewhat impatient over
the delay in making the appointment for
Postmaster for Anderson. The term Of
the present incumbent has expired some
time since, and We can see no good reason
why Republican should be left in the
office when the business men Of our city
have recommended the appointment Of
Capt, w. F. Barr with unanimity sell
dom found in such cases. We hazard
nothing in saying that the Board Of
Trade, which has unanimously endorsed
him, represents at least four-fifths of the
business which passes through the Office,
both in volume and In value, and 1t seems
to us this endorsement, made as it was,
ought easily to control in securing the
appointment. Of course, the result Of
this endorsement was disappoint-
ment to many worthy men who
aspired TO this Office, and any of
whom would have been satisfactory to
our people if they had not united in Ie-
commending Capt. Barr, but since 1t was
agreed between all Of the leading aspir-
ants to ask the Board of Trade to make
the choice, and it was done fairly and at
a very full meeting Of that body, our
people think their wishes as to this Office
WIFI WulCu tu6y d1O ~ IAASA AheoAOSt0o
personally should be respected and the
man of their choice should be appointed.
This is an important Office, and we would
urge upon the Postmaster. General the
propriety of filling this position with the
man who represents che wishes of the
largest business association in our city.
This endorsement is worth more than
mere personal petitions, which are too
.r.., e;rpad M frot rid 0f nm QDH1ipQnt
and can not be relied on. The endorue-
ment of a representative body of tho
business of the city and of the
city council as the government of
the city, is ample guarantee thai
the government will make no mis-
take In appointing the man so endorsed.
Our people will be greatly disappointed
if their wishes in this matter are disre-
garded by those in authority. We rely
on those advising the administration to
represent the wishes of our community,
and we are satisfied they will be able to
secure the appointment of Capt. Barr.

Mr.. ]. B. Kay had q very serious alter
cation this morning with hand named
Charlie Richey, stray negro from
Greenville, who he had employed about
month ago. Here are the facts as near as
they can be obtained at present: Mrs:
Kay told the negro to draw bucket Of
water, which he refused to do. She re-
pO1tSo thAo W N1R' 1Aoy3 VIZ ~0aN SAAA
again to draw the water and said some
thing to him for not doing az Mrs. Kay
had instructed him. Mr.. Kay saw the
negro put his hand back as II to draw his
pistol, whereupon he threw the battling
stick-which was the only available thing
in reach-missing his mark widely. The
negro shot twice and ran, the first shot
taking effect in the feshy part Of the
right leg, the ball ranging downward.
The Doctors probed for the ball but failed
to find it. The wound is very painful
and may prove serious. Searching par
ties are out in every direction trying to
oyertake the negro. AS yet no informa-
ticn can be had.
