Several of those who are in arrears have
called and settled since our last issue, and
our thanks are returned to them, but
there are others who are still due and to
scme of whom We are making our last
appeal through these columns, as we will
begin to drop off names next week. we
do not wish to stop single paper but are
forced to take this course in self defense.
On the fret page of the 1STELIIGENcER
this week is published the annual report of
the Superintendent Of the Penitentiary,
Col. Neal. The best report Of the convict
farms. comes from the Desaussure farm,
which is In charge of our good friend and
former fellow citizen, Mr.. W. T. McGill,

| Mr.. McGill is the right man in the right
place. and we congrstulstehim on his sue
cess.

great Oliver Chilled Plow Works, South
Bend, Ind, is in the city and will spend

Headquarters at the Sullivan Hardware
Co g store, and will be pleased to meet any
of our farmars. and especially those who
have used thia famons plow, which is sold
by the Sullivan Hardware Co. Mr.. Gun;
ningham is a genial gentleman, and well
posted on any subject
Yesterday morning about 1lo'clock ths
alarm of fire came from the home of Mr..
G.. s. Sullivan, on McDufie Street. The
fremen responded promptly, but their SER
vices were not needed. as the fire was soon
e1tinguished and no damage resulted. The
! fire originated In box, which was sitting
near the stove, in the kitchen. 1t Is sup"
posed coal dropped from the stove into
box, in which was some stove wood. The
box and contents were burned, and tho
blaze at one time reached the ceiling ofthe
room, but was e1tinguished before any
damage was done.
Rev. w. r Richardson, the new Metho.
dist pastor. preached his first sermon last
Sunday. He was greeted by a large con-.
! pregation, and the impression he created!
was in keeping with the excellent recon-"
mendations which his former Churches
always gave him. But Mr.. Richardson is
no stranger to our people. He was born
and reared in Anderson County, and is a
son of the late Sion Richardson. We join
his congregation in extending him cor
dial welcome to Anderson, aud trust that
his labors in our midst will result in great
good.

The public should not fail to read the
up. to date advertisement of Brown, Os.
borne & Co. in this issue and call and see
| these gentlemen before buying their
Spring supplies and fertilizers, and in fact
anything in the way of general merchsn.
disc. They also offer for sale regardless
! of profit their heavy winter goods. This
firm carries one of the largest stocks in
our city, and its members are full Of push
and enterprise, and they seem determined
to merit the patronage of the public.
| They guarantee to sell goods as cheap as
anybody. It will doubtless be to the
interest of the people to see them. Keep
your eye on their advertisement from
| week to week.

The Anderson Soap Factory is now
reality. For some time the establishing
of such an enterprise in the city has been
| quietly agitated, and in the meantime the
| officers Of the Anderson Mattress Company
started small plant, adjoining their fac.
tory, and began experimenting. Their
| first output was very good. Samples were
| distributed and everybody who used these
were pleased. This encouraged the Com
pany to 60 ahead, and they have now
completed plant capable Of turning out
more than one thousand pounds day.
They will manufacture both laundry and
toilet soaps, and will increase the capacity
of the plant as the business increases.
The laundry soap Is put up in one pound
bars. and is called Big King after OFF,
Ger King, of the police force. Such l. ius-
tries as this makes q live town, and it is
the duty of our people to encourage and
patronize it. 1t will be sold by all the gro
GERS of the city, and when you need soap
call for the Anderson product.
DR.. A .gustus c. Tribble died suddenly
at the homo of his father, Col. M. P.
Tribble, in this city last Monday about
o'clock D. m. The deceased lived in
Greenville County, near Cooley's Bridge,
and on Monday morning drove to this city
to meet his wife, who had been visiting
relatives here and in Seneca, expecting to
raturn with her to their home in the
afternoon. When he reached the city he
left his horse and buggy at Mr.. w. E. Ar
cher's stables, on Depot street, and imme-
diately went to his fathers residence.
Thoug gh suffering with severe cold, he
was apparently in his usual good health,
and greeted his mother and wife with his
usual happy smile. He complained of a
slight pain in his ckest, and retired to q
room on the second floor to rest short
while. When dinner was ready, his wife
went to the room TO call him. He was
lying on the bed and made no response.
His mother soon came to the bed, and she
at once realized that something was
wrong. A messenger was at once dis
patched for physician, and Drs Nardin
and Witherspoon were soon at the bed
side But they could be of no assistance,
as death had already claimed the young
man as its victim. These physicians pro-
nounced the disease heart failure. DR..
Tribble was the eldest son of Col. M. P.
Tribble, and was about 25 years of age.
In his boyhood he attended the P. M. I. in
this CITY and later Furman University.
He studied medicine at the Jefferson Med
