The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1895-11-06

Rev. Gam Sing Quab, Chinaman,
lectured in Memphis church Sunday
night. The report of his lecture says:
"He remarked that he had seen horse
shoes hanging over the doors of fine resi-
deuces in this country. He had also seen
men carrying rabbit feet in their pockets,
and had seen many other foolish customs
practiced here. The speaker related an
incident that occurred near the college
which be attends and in which his room
mate, who is an American, played part.
He, with his room mate, was driving
near Lebanon one day when rabbit
crossed the road in front Of them. The
American stopped the horse, walked
cross mark on one of the tracks of the
rabbit and then spat upon the mark.
The speaker was always impartial in his
comparisons, but these great United
States did not show up to any great ad-
vantage In many of them."
A Pittsburg dispatch to the New
York Herald says: "The drought In this
end of the Keystone State is the worst
ever known. There Is less than foot of
water in the Ohio River, and the great
artery of traffic is like stagnant mill
pond. Navigation, except in skifs and
fiat boats, has been entirely suspended,
and scores of steamb boats are settling in
the mud. It ia stated that the earth is
perfectly dry to depth Of eighteen feet.
It will require an enormous precipitation
to moisten it. Owing to the baked con-
dition of the ground many river men do
not expect q rise this year."
Mr.. W. Kinard, son of the Hon. ].
q, Kinard, of Three Mile Township, died
on the Oath inst of that dread disease,
hydrophobia. Several months ago his
favorite dog was taken sick, and not sus-
pecting the fearful nature Of its disease
he gave 1t kindly treatment. In doing
30, although not bitten, the deadly virus
was communicated to his system and all
too soon ended his promising young life.
He bore his fearful suffering with mag
nifioent heroism. His bereaved family
and friends have the prayarfu! sympathy
Of all that sorrow for the close OF the
bright, brave young life.-BarlweU Pco-

= The Rev Myrou W. Reed created
sensation by an address at Populist
campaign meeting In Denver, Colorado,
the other night by advising heroic meth
DDS for handling election frauds. In an
impassioned speech he urged that two
hundred men be armed on electlOn Gay
to watch the polls, and whenever anyone
was detected fraudulently voting that he
be shot down on the spot. Aftor detail
ing his plan the reverend gentleman
closed with the remark: "That's the kind
of a saint am"
, During President Jackson's admin
istration pipe was laid from the Soldiers
home, near Washington, to the capitol, to
supply pure spring water for drinking
PURPOSES. This week when the pipe was
taken up it was found that years ago some
one had tapped 1t and led small pipe to
his own house. The tenants have thus
for years been using the choice water in
tended to quench the congregational thirst
and that without paying cent for 1t.
The authorities are hunting up q law to
reach the offender.
"A novelty in advertising is shown in
Scotch church. The congregation could
not pay it's minister, when soap firm
offered to pay $500 year for five years on
condition that its advertisement be hung
up in front of the gallery in the church;
offer accepted.
An exchange says: Apply castor oil
once day to warts from two to six weeks
and they will disap pear.
