Mr.. Marett has about fifty fine cattle
ln nus herd, and he is using every pre-
caution to prevent the spread of the
diseasc.- iIalhdia Courier.
A slight change has been made in
the schedule of one of the trains on
the Blue Ridge Railroad. The train
leaving Anderson in tho morning for
Walhalla now leaves at O'clock and
returns from Walhallain in the afternoon
at 4.44 o'clock. This is n much more
convenient schedule to the travelling
public and will be appreciated.
In accordance with their announce
ment, c. F. Jones g. Co. held their an
nual opening of fall and winter goods

change in climate would benefit it.

Two fire alarms in one day is somc+
thing unusual in Anderson, but that
was her record yesterday. About 8
o'clock yesterday morning the first
alarm sounded. The fire was ina small
house occupied by negro in the north
eastern suburbs of the city, near the
steam laundry, and was extinguished
before the fircmen reached it. The
damage was slight. The second alarm
called out the fire department about 1
o'clock p. M. The fire was in the two
story brick building opposite the
CountySJail. The building is occupied
by negroes and owned by Capt. j. w.
Daniels. Three steams of water were
turned on the building nntl in II short
while the firemen were the victors.
The building was only slightly injured,
but nearly all of its contents were de-
stroyed or damaged. 1t is not known
how the fire originated.
The Williamson correspondent of
the Grecnvillc Ne,rs, under date Of the
1st inst, says: Barney Owens, far
mcr living near Grove Creek between
Pelzer and tho Augusta road, met with
a horrible accident yesterday afternoon
that cost him his life He had driven
his mule attached to, buggy to see his
son-in-law near Piedmont, and OIL his
return the mule became frightened and
dashed off, throwing him violently to
the ground. His head struck stump,
knocking him senseless and fracturing
his skull. The unfortunate man was
carried home at once and medical aid
called in, but he never regained con-
sciousness, lingering until 4 o'clock
this morning, when death relieved him.
1t is said that he was considerably un-
der the influence of liquor, which
doubtless accounts for his untimely
death. A wife and several children
survive him."

at Belton, Elias Green, q negro, shot
and seriously wounded ,TOm. Hender-
son, en- operative in the Bolton cotton
mill. Green and another negro were
IN store near the mill when n crowd of
boys from the mill came in and accus-
ed Green of having cursed one of their
number few days preceding. Green
denied the charge and quarrel ensued.
The proprietor of the store ordered the
whole crowd out of his door, and when
Green reached the sidewalk several
rocks were thrown at him. Green
pulled his pistol, fired into the crowd
and fled. The news of the shooting
spread rapidly, considerable excitement
was aroused and crowd started out to
capture the negro. IN the meantime
Sheriff Green was notified over tho tel
ephone of the affray and in short while
Deputy Dillingham;, with his blood
hound, reached Belton and took up the
trail of the fleeing negro, who was cap-
tured near Honea Path, where he had
stopped to spend the night. Mr.. Dill
lingham brought the negro at once to
