The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1897-06-02

May, Goth inst. The spirituality, elo.
quence and earnest pastoral work OF DR..
Marshall while in Anderson won many
souls for the Master and many friends for
himself, who sympathize with him in his
bereavement. The Atlanta journal says:
Mrs Angelyn Marshall, wife of Rev. A.
A. MARSHALL, pastor of the Jackson Hill
baptist Church, died this morning after a
short illness. The demise of Mrs Mar
shall was not altogether unexpected as she
had been in a critical condition for several
days"
There is a prospect, at least, of the re.
noval of the Post Office from where it
now is to the new building in course Of
erection by Messrs. Cox and Townsend.
These gentlemen have offered to fit the
building with a United States flag, floated
high furnish facilities which the present
Office does not possess, and they have cir
culated a petition asking for the change
which has been we'll signed. BY othere it
is claimed that the present office answers
the wants of our people both as to facilities
and convenience orif lacking IN facilities
they can be easily put in. That to make a
change would entail a heavy loss upon the
proprietors Of the building who fitted it up
at a considerable outlay Of money at a
time when no one else would undertake
the enterprise. They, too, have circulated
q petition asking that the Office be not
moved, which is also well signed.
The Rough and Ready Fire Company
returned from Beaufort yesterday after
noon at G.15 p. M, and report the journey
there and back orderly and -ithout ACCT

escorted to a hall, served with refr--h.

and that from the moment they reacl .
there until they left, they received royal
treatment md had q glorious time. They
.7ere the only visiting fire company, but
there were fourteen military companies
there, and when the line of procession was
formed, three abreast, to march to the
graves Of the Federal soldiers to decorate
them, the column was at least two miles
long. They are loud in their praises Of the
Beaufort fire department and city officers ;
aud the total absence Of rowdyism. The
Roughs say they conducted themselves
properly and we believe them. We are
glad they had a good time.
The Piano Recital in the Opera House
last Friday night by the second, third and
| fourth grade pupils of Miss Lizzie Cor
nish, was greatly enjoyed by the large and
appreciative audience which gathered to
| hear it. The programme was interesting
and we'll carried out. We regret WE have
not space to give the programme and to
accord to each the praise they deserve.
They reflected great credit upon their
teacher, who possesses rare musical abili-
ties aud is full Of zeal and enthusiasm for
the advancement Of her pupils. At the
close of the recital the audience we're re.
quested to indicate by their votes the
pupils to whom the prize medals should
be given. Four prizes were Offered, one
for best solo and the other three for pro.
ficiency. The voting resulted as follows

The same old story Of the unloaded pls.
tol and the fatal results must be told again.
Henry Harris, colored, shout thirteen
years old, was in the store of Mr.. Tack
Fowler Monday night exhibiting an old
pistol which would not stand cooked.
Young Reed Fowler, a boy about fourteen
years old, and son of the proprietor, BE-
came interested and took from the show
case a pistol, which be thought was not
loaded, and began to cock and snap il,
pointing it in the direction of Henry. A
cartridge had been tried in the pistol by
the elder Fowler a few days ago at The
suggestion Of a customer, and inadvert-
emily left in it This, Reid did not know.
When he snapped around to the cartridge
it was discharged, and entered the right

in the lumber region. The boy is attended
by DR.. j. G. Harris and Dr. Earle and is
resting easy, but is in q very precarious
condition. The bleeding was internal and
the wound may prove fatal.
Anderson wins distinction wherever her
citizens go. This time it comes from
Charleston and "Big" King is Anderson's
distinguished citizen. The NeWS and
Courier OF the 2Sth says: "Perhaps the
finest specimen of physical manhood that
has been seen in Charleston in many
years is Mr.. William 3. King, of Ander.
son, who came down with the excursion
lists q day or two ago. Mr.. King stands
six feet six inches and weighs 335 pounds
He is almost perfectly proportional and
bears the reputation of being the strongest
man in South Carolina. He is at present
on the police foroa OF Anderson and is sci

The Centralia (M D. Courier gets off the
following as to why there shall be no
marriages in heaven: The economy
of heaven which provides that there
shall be no marriages in the Gales
tial City, was a wise forethought on
the part of Jehovah. The truth is
there will probably not be enough
men in the New Jerusalem to sing bass,
much less to be husbands to the great
throng Of good women, who will be there.
III people were given ID marriage over
there, every man would have to have more
wives than So'oroa had ooncubines. or
| else heaven would be full of old maids,
which God forbid. Monday we ~investi-
gated to see how many men attended their
church prayer meeting regularly. About
half a hundred covers the list found. The
| six churches have a male membership of
nearly FIVE hundred. This accounts for
one in teu-the others unaccounted for,
rave half a hundred more who attend
prayer meeting occasionally. We do not
mean to say that the prayer meeting is a
very good thermometer to register the
spiritual life of a church. A little inquiry
developed the fact that about five women
attend the prayer meeting to one man.
| The men do a little better in the Sunday
| School, and still better in the preaching
services, but 1t is safe to say that the wo-
men outnumber the men nearly two to one
in all the meetings of the church. The
men, however, lead largely at the depot
and on the streets on the Lords Day"
A sad and fatal accident occurred last
| Saturday afternoon about 3 o'clock at that
part of the public road three miles west of
Anderson, known as Prevost's hill. Mr..

flour and a few baskets. Upon reaching
