An Interesting Lecture.

Rev. w. d. Evans, D. D., will lecture
in Anderson on June the 14th on ssCon-
versation,n for the benefit Of the new
Episcopal Church The people Of An
derson, as well as the good Episcopal
brethren, are to be congratulated on
such good fortune, for DR.. Evans is q
lecturer Of no mean ability, and his
equal is rarely found in ali the United
States. He has the reputation OF max
ing the Eckers and some disgruntled
forget himself and laugh in spite of his
own protestations. No man can with
stand his wonderful good humor.
The State of Columbia, S. c., wrote of
him as follows:
.Those who fail to hear DR.. Evans
tonight in his great lecture, "The
Philosophy of Fun" will miss one OF
the greatest treats of the year. DR..
Evans is an orator of great merit. He
is thinker, prose poet Of the sweet
est fancy, while in humor and pathos
he moves his listeners, as with the
wand of an enchanter, to laughter at
will. When this lecture was delivered
at the Opera House in this city, the
people went wild over it, and all were
sorry when the end came. Few men,
indeed, can hold the attention of a
mixed audience in such manner.
frequently was he heartily applauded.
and his audience went away delighted" )"

From Former Citizen Of Anderson
County.

In renewing his subscription to the
INTELLrGENcER for another year, Mr..
w. A. McAllister, formerly OF this
County, but now q citizen Of Palmetto,
Fla, says: Tread a good many other
papers, but the INTELL1GENCER is the
best of them all. Often amid the busy
scenes of life l think of Anderson
County, for there was born and spent
my boyhood days. I have spent the
past fourteen years in southern Florida,
and would not leave it to live anywhere
else. These Florida people are the
best people in the world. We had a
severe freeze in 1S94-95, which ruined
the orange business in the northern
part Of the State, but in this County it
did not injure the trees. Last year
there were 81, 600 boxes of oranges ship
ped from this County, which netted
the growers from So to So box. Be
sides the orange business the raising of
early vegetables is paying the pro-
ducers. There will be over $4,000
crates Of tomatoes shipped to the
Northern markets this season, and they
are worth from $3.50 to 81 a crate" :"
Mr.. McAllister's old friends in this
County will rejoice to hear of his sue
cess in his adopted home, and will join
us in wishing him long life of happi-
ness and prosperity in the "Land Of
Flowers

Killed Himself.

a sad and awful tragedy happened
in this city this morning at about 4.SO
O'clock. Shortly before that hour MT
3 II - Claude Dickson came down MAN
street to the Court House Square, turn
ed down Depot street and entered tne
store of Messrs. o. D. Anderson q
Bro, where he was clerking. He soon
came out and was met by Policemen
sO'Donnen and Kay, who spoke to him.
He went Immediately to his home on
McDufie street, and, entering hisr room,
awoke his wife and, pulling his coat
{ and vest, told her he was going to kill
himself. Before she could realize what
his words meant, he pulled a pistol and
sent a bullet through his right temple
and death was instantaneous. The
screams of his devoted mother and
wife attracted the attention OF their
neighbors, many Of whom came imme-
diately to the bedside of the unfortu-
nate young man. A physician was
summoned Immediately, but the young
man was beyond human aid.
Coroner Miller went to the home OF
the deceased this morning, and after
4 hearing the statements of his wife and
father. decided not to hold an inquest,
as there was no suspicion of foul play.
Mr.. Dickson was at his usual place
sofs business yesterday and was out
practicing with the Pioneer fremen
late in the afternoon. He did not
spend the. night at home, and it is sup
posed he went off fishing. Mr.. Dickson
had the confidence of his employers,
and no motive can be assigned for the
rash act. He was the only child OF Mr.
and Mrs. j. M. Dickson and was about
as years of age. Besides his parents,
he leaves a young wife to mourn his
death. The remains will be inferred
lin the cemetery tomorrow.
