The farmers of this section are about
through picking their cotton, and are
very busily engaged in gathering corn
and sowing oats, and in q few more
weeks will be sowing wheat. Our

A most delightful pound party was

Weddings in Williamson.

The topic Of conversation in Will
liamston last week was the Newton
Sullivan wedding, which took place in
the Methodist Church on the afternoon
of the 18th inst. The people of our
town did honor to the occasion by
turning out en- masse, while relatives
and friends Of the happy couple from
the surrounding towns were present
and seemed to enjoy the occasion very
much. The Church was tastefully
decorated with golden:rod, autumn
leaves, etc. Messrs. William Sharpe,
of Anderson, Hewlett Sullivan, OF VII
liamston, and Mark Sullivan and Rob-
ert Woodside, of Pelzer, performed the
Office of ushers in a pleasing manner.
The wedding march was exquisitely
rendered by Miss Mattice, OF the music
department of the College. When the
first strains OF the sweet music were
heard, the ushers marched to the front
and formed a semi-circle. The groom
was escorted to his place. by DR.. Frank
NJ. Lander, and the bride was as.end-
ed by Miss Mary Newton, sister Of the
groom. The bride presented lovely
appearance arrayed in beautiful
brown travelling costume, which har-
monizcd we'll with her brown eyes and
auburn hair, while the maid of honor
was becomingly attired in blue street
costume. The beautiful ceremony
which united Hope Hull Newton, jr.,
and Caroline Nellie Sullivan in the
holy bonds of wedlock was performed
by Rev. Pierce +. Kilgo, in a solemn
and impressive manner. Immediately
after the ceremony the newly we'd
couple were driven to the station and
boarded the North bound train for
Asheville, Washington, and other
points. A large conconrse OF friends
and admirers repaired from the Church
to the station to see the happy pair Oft.
Old shoes and rice were in evidence,
much to the dismay OF the happy
groom, and the happy couple left with
the good wishes OF many admiring
friends and relatives.
Wedding bells continue to jingle.
The marriage of Mr.. w. j. Trammel,
of Pelzer, and Miss jeanette Austin,
daughter OF Capt. w. H. Austin, OF our
town, takes place tomorrow at Capt.
Austin's residence, on Pelzer street.
We wish long life, happiness and pros
perity to our young friends. May the
merry wedding bells keep up tingle
for many days to come.
A few years ago an interesting series
of debates was conducted under the
auspices of the Williamson Epworth
League, which was we'll attended and
much enjoyed by the public. These
debates are to be resumed, and the
first one is looked for Friday evening,
Oct. Goth. The query, "Rcsolved, That
the United States war with the Philip
pines is vnjustitiable," is subject in
which all Americans are interested.
Mr.. G. S. Goodgion will represent the
affirmative and Nj. J. NJ. Ramsey the
negative. OF course an interesting
time is expected.

NOTES OF THE TERN.
Since Monday morning the Court has
been engaged in trying the case of
Ellis against the Anderson Cotton
Mills, a suit for damages for the loss
of an arm in the mill machinery. The
case will be concluded to-day. Croft
g. Tillman and Bonham & Watkins
represent the plaintiff, and Tribble &
Prince and Col. j. n. Brown the de-
fense. There is a heavy civil docket,
and it is probable that the Court will
be in session until Saturday.
The Grand Jury finished action on
all indictments Wednesday evening
and went into an exhaustive inquiry in
reference to the County's financial
status and the many charges relating
thereto. This investigation consumed
the remainder of the week, and refer
ence is make to their findings in the
general Presentment.
Solicitor NJ. F.Ansel was called away
on Thursday, and E. F. Cochran, Esq,
officiated in his stead throughout the
remainder of the week.
Col. Jas. H. Tillman, of Edgefeld, is
in attendance upon Court.
Geo. w. Croft, Esq, OF the Aiken
Bar, is attending Court this week.
J. F. Rice, Esq, who was designated
by the Grand Jury as an attorney re-
ported to them guilty OF procuring un-
considerable contracts from parties
in Jail under terror of conviction for
attorneys fees, has asked for an oppor-
tnnity to exhonoratc himself OF the
charge before the Anderson County
Bar Association. He will be accorded
the privilege during the present week,
it is thought.

The County has not been able to pay
its Indebtedness for several years, and
the County Commissioners have been
compelled each year to borrow money
in advance Of the collection Of taxes
to enable the County to run on q cash
basis.
The evidences of the County's indcbt-
edness for the present tiscalyear are as
follows:
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1899-10-18

All the above notes bear interest at
rate OF per cent. per annum.
The past Indebtedness has existed
since 1876, the amount has varied each
year. In 1895 | am Informed by the
County Auditor that the pastindebted-
ness was about $11, 10000. Since that
time the following levics have been
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1899-10-18

SO it will be seen that notwithstand-
ing the Indebtedness of the County,
only ] mill has been levied to pay it
since 1895. consequently it has increas
ed, as The levies for current expenses
were no more than is required to run
tie County.
Another reason fortheincrcase OF the
past idcbtcdness is the extraordinary
expenses incurred in the last two or
three years. Some OF them are:
Coolcy's steel bridge, $4,000; Pei
ger steel bridge and approaches. 81
$1,000; Piedmont steel bridge, S22,5o5.00;
County mules, :s3,20Q.00; six road

Brewer DIsgusted with Chandler.

Chairman Mark S. Brewer of the civil service
board who conducted the recent hearing of the
charges against Senator Gallinger at Concord, n.
H. is angry over the way Senator Chandler multi
fed the work of the commission through failure
TO produce the evidence which he promised the
board he would have on hand. You may say
for me :" said the commissioner, that the com
mission was grossly deceived by Senator Chan
dler's communications about charges for which
he demanded an official inquiry. We were led TO
believe that he had personal knowledge of the
violations, or could lay his hands upon men who
would appear before us with convicting testi-
mony, as / might show you by the letters he
wrote, and that when we came to Concord wit
nesses would appear before us and state plain
facts. may say truthfullv that not person APP
peared before us who would admit persona
knowledge of transactions connecting Senator
Gallinger directly with the issuance OF the circu
lars "
Are we TO infer from that that no important
results were obtained by your Investigation
You will readily understand that cannot
commit myself on this point, and 1t is not for me
TO say what Importance the full commission may
place upon the evidence recorded. My advice K
Senator Chandler would have been 10 take hi
evidence to the district attorney, which, unde
the circumstances would have been the more
satisfactory course, as we had not the power u
subpoena witnesses or administer an oath"
Senator Chandler has, in turn, made repor
against Mr.. Brewer and has forwarded 1t to the
authorities at Washington.
