I having won such a lovely bride.

We have heard a good joke on one ofour ex-candidates. During, the Conntycanvass he was riding along the road' one

Married, on Thuisday evening, August16th, 1888, by Rev. M. McGee, Mr. RobertL. Dagan and Miss Lola Cheshire, daugh¬ter of Dr. R. S. Cheshire, all of this Conn¬ty. The groom is one of Belton's most

j excellent young men, while the bride isone af Anderson County's most popularand estimable young ladies. The Intel¬ligencer extends its congratulations tothe young couple, and wishes them a longand happy life.The Columbia Register, of Sunday, says:

I "A certificate of charter has been issued

j on the return of the Anderson Hotel Com¬pany, which proposes to erect and run a

new hotel at Anderson C. H., with a cap¬ital stock of $25,000. The company hasbeen duly organized by the. choice of a

Board-of Directors, comprising the follow¬ing gentlemen : B. F. Whitner, John W.Daniels, J. Belton Watson, J. A. Brock

[ andE. M. Booker."'Nearly all the excursionists from this

County who went West about 1st of Julyhave returned home. Mr. B. F. Gassaway,who was among the number, came in tosee us last Saturday. He reports having

J bad a pleasant trip, and says the crops areI good in every State through which beI traveled. He says Texas has its disadvan¬tages as well as its advantages. Several

I of the excursionists invested in land inTexas and Arkansas.

On Tnesday night, 14th inst, about 1o'clock, burglars broke into the depot atPendleton and stole about $40 in money,

I $17.14 of company money and about $25 ofthe depot agent's. They took the safe outof the depot, put it on a lever car belong¬ing tq the section master and hauled itdown the railroad about one mile, whereit was broken open with a sledge hammerbelonging to the tool car gang. This isthe second successful attempt to breakopen the depot and plunder the safe.

I Anderson is going to have a magnificentfonr-story new hotel,-with forty-eight bedrooms in It, all splendidly furnished andwell ventilated. The building committeehave accepted the plan submitted byMessrs. Bruce & Morgan, of Atlanta, Ga.,and gone right to work to have the hotel

I built. The brick have been purchasedand are now being laid down on the spot.Also arrangements have been made for thesand, which is being hauled. In additionto these the building committee will pur¬chase the lime, and then let the balance ofthe work and materials ont by contract.It is hoped that the work will be completeby the first of next year. Mr. Frank T,Wilhite, the chairman of the buildingcommittee and the originator of the pro-

I ject, is a^man of indomitable energy andI push. This is whatAnderson has needed

j for a long tune, and we have suffered no

one knows how much for want of a firsfc-i class hotel. The decree has gone forth and

j it is this: "Anderson must move for¬ward," and she has started in good earn¬

est. An elegant and magnificent hotel,finished in the most modern style, is now

a certainty. Next let us have a $300,000j cotton mill, and all the other necessary

j improvements will follow.

A rather peculiar case came before TrialJustice Wardlaw last week. Last Thurs¬day night about 11 o.'clock Dr. R. E.Thompson and J. O. Hamlin came to thecity and swore out a warrant against Rob¬ert W. Arnold, charging him with an ag¬gravated assault and battery, Shoriff Boltand Deputy Sheriff Green left immediate¬ly to arrest the defendant, who is a whiteman living in Greenville County, aboutseven miles beyond Pelzer. They re¬

turned about 12 o'clock Friday with Ar-

nold, who waived a preliminary investiga¬tion and gave bond, for his appearance atCourt. Mr. Arnold is tho son-in-law of

the late Dr. Thompson. Iiis wife died a

little moire than a year ago, leaving onlyone child, a boy a few days old. Thischild was turned over to Mrs. Thompson,its maternal grandmother. Later thefather sought to recover the custody of thechild by a writ of habeas corpus before

Judge Aldricb, who, on the hearing of the

case, awarded the custody to Mrs. Thomp¬son. Nothing further has beon done untillast Thursday afternoon, when Mr. Ar¬

nold went to see Im "only boy," and after

playing with him awhile, rolled out of thegate in the baby carriage and took him and

got in a buggy, which was near, and leftat once for his home in Greenville. Thisuct of taking his own child from its grand¬mother, to whom the Court had given thecustody, is the aggravated assault andbattery complained of. The child is stillin the custody of its father. It is not yetknown what steps, if any, will be takenby Mrs. Thompson to regain the custodyof her grandchild, to which she seems

very much attached.

The Concert at, Midway.The Singing School, which has been in

prngress at Midway Church for the pasttwo weeks, under the tutorship of Prof.A. J. Showalter, of Dalton, Ga., closedlast Saturday night with a Concert. Ourclever and handsome young Deputy Sher¬iff, Mr, N. R. Green, kindly offered us a

seat in his buggy, and conveyed us to theConcert. .We arrived at the Chnrcb short¬ly aftor dark, and found that the threaten¬ing clouds had not kept the people fromattending, and we know no one regrettedhaving gone there, for the entertaimentwas certainly a most interesting one.

' The whole school, which numberedseventy-soven pupils, participated in theConcert. The programme was quite va¬ried and appropriate. The entertainmentopened with a grand chorus, "WelcomeSong," composed and arranged by Prof.Showalter, and for two hours or more theaudience was highly entertained withsome very fine singing. A solo sang byMiss Minnie Anderson, who has a verysweet voice, deserves special mention, as

also one sang by Mr. M. L. Willis. Themajority of the pupils bad never studiedvocal music before the formation of thisschool, and, taking into consideration thefact that they had been attending theschool only ten days, the.manner in whichthey sang their various parts showed thatthey had spent .their time well and thatthey bad been thoroughly instructed.Prof. Showalter has made vocal music alife-time study, and is a most thoroughand proficient teacher. He has few equalsas a teacher in the South. On Monday hewent to Honea Path, where be is now en¬

gaged in teaching a school.It is proposed to form a school in this

city about the 15th of October and secureProf; Showaiter's services for twenty daysin teaching it, provided a sufficient num¬ber of pupils can be secured to induce bimto come here. Persons who would like toattend the school may notify Mr. M. L.Willis, at the Anderson Music House, whowill give an/ information in referenceto it. We have plenty of material andwould like to see a large school formed.

Denver Item's.The Reunion at Sandy Spring's of Orr's

Regiment last week was a very pleasanttime to those present. Tuesday, tho 14th,quite a number of the survivors movedin and took up their quarters in verymuch the same position they did twenty-seven years ago, and the greater part of'the night was spent in jokes and remi¬niscences of the war. Soon Wednesdaymorning people began gathering in fromthe surrounding country till a goodlycrowd was present at the opening servi¬ces, which consisted of prayer by theRegiment's first chaplain; Rev. H. T.Sloan, D. D , after which Col. B. F. Cray-ton made an address of welcome in abeautiful and touching manner. In pa¬thetic words he alluded to the absence,through sickness, of Mrs. Orr, who hasheretofore been present to cheer the vet¬erans by her presence. Several shortspeeches were made by the members of.the different companies, after which .arecess was taken for dinner, which gavethe candidates' the chance to circulateamongst the crowd and try and win favor.Alter dinner ex-Judge J. S. Cotbran, M.C, regaled the crowd with a well-timedand instructive speech on the tariff andClemson College.. The most touchingincident of the day was the presentation,by Col. G. McD.*> Miller, of the old regi¬mental flag, bullet-pierced and battle-torn,at sight of which eyes unused to tearswere seen to weep, and strong men weremoved to tears. After the death of Col.Marshall, Mrs. Marshall requested thecustody of the flag which was presentedto the Regiment while on Sullivan'sIsland by the ladies of Charleston, and inexchange, she presented the Regimentwith this one. The only time it was usedas a battle-flag was at Chancellorsville.In this light the entire color-guard wasshot down, and the color-bearer, GeorgeBell, was wounded and retired, when Al¬fred Wardlaw, a mere boy of company B,seized the broken flagstaff (it havingbeen shot in two when Bell was wounded)and proudly waving the flag aloft to in¬spire the men, fell mortally wounded,pierced through the head with a minnieball. After Wardlaw fell, Tom Puckettseized the colors and bore them safelyfrom the field.We bad the pleasure recently of seeing

another flag whose career, though freefrom blood, was hardly less eventful thanthe first one mentioned. We refer to theflag in the possession of Mr. S. L. Eskew,which carried us back on memory'swings to the "Red Shirt" . campaign of76, when the government of South Caro¬lina was wrested from the carpet-baggersand scalawags, and Hampton was placedat the helm. On one side this flag bearsin beautiful letters the words "Hamptonand Home Rule," and on the reverse isthe. company's name.Aiken Guards.These old flags have served their purpose,and are only relics of the past.grimreminders of the times that tried men'ssoqls.The Reunion was re-organized with the

following officers: G. McD. Miller, Pres¬ident ; J. J. Norton, 1st Vice-President;R. Y. H. Lowry, 2nd Vice-President;John Eskew, 3rd Vice-president: Rev,H. T. Sloan, D. D., Chaplain; W. T.McGill, Secretary; John W. Thompson,.Treasurer. This was the first time Col.Miller and Chaplain Sloan had met theold command at Sandy Springs since thewar. Col. Miller presided at tbe.meeting.A marriage occurred near Sandy

Springs Tuesday night, having in it quitean element of romance. As we learn, thecontracting parties were Mr. Phillip Gas-saway, of Marietta, Ga., and Miss MargaretRice, of Sandy Springs. We learn theyhad not seen each other in nine years pre¬vious to the night of the wedding, liev.H. T. Sloan, D- D., performed the ceremo¬ny. May they live long and he happy.Last Thursday afternoon Mr, Jetterson

Elrod, also of Sandy Springs, returnedfrom Pelzer, whither he had gone the daybefore to get married. The happy couplewere met at the station by relatives andfriends, aud escorted home. Our bestwishes for success in life attend them.Mr. S. L. Eskew is enlarging and other¬

wise improving his residence.Mr. Jos. M. Jolley, formerly of this

County, but now a resident of BanksCounty, Ga., has lately been visiting rela¬tives and friends in this County.The churches throughout this section,

A revival has been in progress at MtBethel Chureh the past week, conductedby tho pastor, Rev. B. Hays, who was as¬

sisted by several other distinguished di¬vines from a distance. Much good hasbeon done. Sixteen converts were bap¬tised on Sunday morning, and live re¬

ceived into the Church by letter. At thebaptismal service it was impossible for allthe crowd to see the pool, and severalyoung men concluded that they could geta better view by crawling out on a logwhich crossed'the branch just above thepool. When one of the young men hadseated himseif on the log, to his surpriseit gave way, and down he went on hisback in about two feet of water. Therewas a giggle throughout the crowd, andhis feelings can better bo imagined thandescribed.Misa Mamie Robinson is still very low

with fever, but at this writing her symp¬toms indicate a change for the better.We continue to have showers of rain,

which is daily adding to the cotton crop.The corn crop is as good in this neigh¬

borhood as it has been for several yearB.It will help our farmers very much finan¬cially, as they have failed to make enoughfor their their own use for the last twoyears.Fodder-pulling is now in order, and the

wise farmer should save all he makes.Mr. L. N. Martin has the earliest cotton

we have seen. He is picking it,There are more fat beef cattle in this

The farmer's holidays have come, audgeneral hospitality is flowing through theland. This is a season when everyonewould like to be a farmer.It is a grand season for visitors. The

big, little, old and young, are all enjoyingthemselves, either visiting or receivingvisitors. Sons, and daughters who livesome distance from their fathers havecome to stay a week or so with them.Children and grand-children (some ofwhom never met before) have come tograndpa's, and 0! what a nice time theyare going to have. There is the orchardfull of peaches, apples, pears, &c; there isthe grape vine and the fig trees and thegoobers. All these rare things are attheir own disposal, but here comes mam¬ma with these commandments: Thousbalt not go into the orchard, exceptwhen I go; thou shalt not stray off tothe watermelon patch; thou shalt notclimb up grandpa's grapevines, nor

grabble his goobers. Therefore, remomber two things^-first, what I have toldyou; secondly, that there is plenty oflong, keen switches in the orchard.This is a great harvest time for those

who have raised a good crop of chickens.Chickens! chickens! poor unfortunatecreatures. The first thing after companyarrives is, "John, I want a chicken. Joe,I wish you would catch a chicken, I amlooking for uncle Tom and his family to¬night."

I think everybody, even the merchants,the mechanics, the lawyers and the doc¬tors, the travellers and the tramps, wouldlike to enlist under the golden banner ofthe farmer at this season of the year.Health is good in this community.The protracted meeting is in progress at

Mt. Bethel church, and much good is ex-pected to result from it. -

Mr. Jloleman'g Reply to Mr, Todd.

Eoleman, S. C, August 20, 1888.Mn. Editor: Please allow me space in

your valuable paper'

to reply to the com¬munication of Mr. R. W. Todd, publishedin the Intelligencer of the 16th inst. Idislike to continue this controversy, butas the facts of the case have been so skill¬fully disguised, and the real truth of thematter so ingeniously evaded, I am com¬pelled, in self-defence, to make some addi¬tional explanations.About four years ago when Mr. Todd

was a candidate for re-election to theoffice of School Commissioner, and justupon the eve of the election, bQjpubliclychallenged at the Bank a school claim ofmine to which one Trustee had affixedanother's signature, and in such a way,as I thought, as to reflect unduly uponmyself. However, Mr. Todd promptlyapproved the claim, and W. S. Wool-bright, Esq., to whom it was intrusted,negotiated it at the Bank and brought methe money on the same day. Mr. Wool-bright alBO delivered a very discourteousand insulting verbal message that Mr.Todd had sent to me. I wrote to. Mr.Todd that he had reflected unduly uponme; that I was not responsible for theaction of the Trustees, and that I thoughtit came with ill-graco at that late day, asthe practice with the Trustees of attach-ing'each other's name had prevailed withhis sanction, as well as with that of hispredecessors, for many years. I also inti¬mated to him that it was likely an efforton his part to gain popularity at my ex¬pense. Mr. Todd replied with a long let¬ter in which be begged me to consider, ashe had been misunderstood, and insistedthat he had intended no reflection uponme whatever. I accepted his explanation,and here that matter was dropped.In the subsequent election I gave Mr,

Todd my hearty support, as I can proveby the teachers as well as by some of theTrustees of this Township, his positiveassertion to the effect "that I have neverceased to disparage his official conduct"to the contrary notwithstanding. But afew weeks before the recent primary elec¬tion, as the public know, a report wasextensively circulated to the effect thatMr. R. W*. Todd had stated that I had at¬tempted to perpetrate a fraud at sometimewhile he was School Commissioner. Itwas also stated that Mr. Todd had threat¬ened to indict me if I persisted in activeopposition to him. It was told here untilsome of my friends began to blush.evenmy lady friends began to expross them¬selves as "sorry for me," that "it wouldruin me," and that "they could notbelieve that I intended to commit acrime." Just allow me to add bore forthe benefit of those whose sympathies areso neatly wrought up: don't be alarmed.Mr. Todd will likely postpone the nuttier ofindictment now, at least, until after the electionis over. Well, it occurred to ine that Mr.Todd was the proper party, and the onlyone that could exonerate me, aud I couldsee no Improprioty in asking him to do so

publicly. Accordingly 1 asked Mr. Toddas courteously as 1 knew how, to publisha statoment that tho rumor was fulso. andthat ho was not responsible for its circu¬lation. The card containing this requestwas published in tho Intelliüknceii ofthe 2nd inst., and by reference to tho same,it will be seen that it contains no chargewhatever against Mr. Todd, nor anythingthat can be construed into .such ; unless,indeed, it be a construction of Mr. Todd'sown Ingenious mind for a purpose. Butwhy, I ask, did Mr.' Todd not complywith my .simple roqunst',* Why did lienot simply stale that tho report wasuntrue? His public statement to thateffect would have been satisfactory to mo.It would have put a quietus lipon hisardent supporters, and ended tho wholematter. As Mr. Todd now has Ihe cheekto attempt to make capital out of it, it Isnot only justice to myself, but it is due toothers that I make this matter plain. Mr.Todd insisted that I should havo waiteduntil after tho election, aud intimates tljutI had nothing at stake. I did, however,have a reputation at stake which I valuemore than any County oflice,. whateverbe Mr. Todd's opinion about such mat¬ters. But why should I havo waited?Did I foresee that he would not kindlyvindicate me ? And, in that event, I sub¬mit it to the candid judgment of myreaders if it would not have placed Mr.Todd in a better position, as a candidate,before tho public. But ho says that hewould gladly havo furnished a privatestatement like bis card, "to be usedwhon-ever necossury.'- Mr. Todd c*n't be sin¬cere in that suggestion. He has alreadydisplayed too much ingenuity in this dis¬cussion to talk such nonsonsc. lie knowsfull woll that 1 could not havo quashedthat slander in twelve months with a pri¬vate letter. But the card to which Mr.Todd has reforence was published in theJournal of tho 3rd inst., and surely he has

not the audacity to pretend now that heexonerated me in that card.surely notthe audacity to attempt to .satisfy thereading public, knowing that the card isstill in existence, By reference to thiscard it will be seen that Mr. Todd endeav¬ored, by suppressing a part of my requestwhich he published in connection there¬with and by an ingeniously constructedsentenco, to make the impression uponthe public mind that I was guilty of acrime. He simply stated that he foundone of the signatures not genuine, artfullyleaving the impression that I had forgedit.Why could be not have stated the plain

truth that one Trustee had simply attach¬ed another's name without my knowledgeor consent? He dare not deny that theTrustees did put him in possession of thisbit of information some four years ago.Why, then, I repeat, did he not complywith my request and exonerate me ? Thiswould have ended the whole matter, and Isubmit the question to the public whetheror not it would have injured Mr. Todd'sprospects as a candidate. It would have

' put him in a better position as a candidate.certainly in a better position before myfriends. In proof of all that I have said

j in reference to this particular matter, I in-{ yite attention, first, to my published cardin the Intelligencer of the 2nd inst., andalso to Mr. Todd's "brief reply" publishedin the Journal of the 3rd inst. Mr. Todd'ssubsequent conduct proves that his highestambition, next to that of being SchoolCommissioner, was to tarnish my charac¬ter. The public is informed that he at¬tacked me at the different campaign meet¬ings.even where I was unknown; and bydisguising the facts never failed to leavethe impression that I was guilty of somecrime. 1 am also informed thatmy friend,Mr. Vandiver, thonght it necessary, anddid follow him in every instance, with an

explanatcy statement' In my behalf. AtFarmer's, on the 7th inst., he occupied thestand thirty minutes, during which timehe employed all of his ingenuity in aneffort to make my own neighbors believethat I was guilty of forgery in more thanone instance, compelling me to call uponthe Trustees, then and there, to prove thatit was false.Mr. Todd says that he received Informa¬

tion that I was "circulating very damagingreports" about him."that he voted forbarrooms, and that he was notfit for SchoolCommissioner." I do not remember ofhaving said anything about his barroomrecord, but I have said that he was not ca¬

pacitated for the office of School Commissioner, It is my honest conviotion, and asto that matter, I can repeat it now. It Ismy privilege to think so, and I cannot un¬derstand that it is any of Mr. Todd's busi¬ness.As to the reforms instituted by Mr. Todd

in the School Commissioner's office (?) Ihave not anything to say in particular.However, I will say that I think this claima great reflection upon the fitness and qual¬ifications of his predecessors. Neither naveI any quarrel to make with him about thefancied resemblance between Mr. Fant'sand Capt. Vandiver's handwriting, fartherthan to say that if Mr. Todd is able to de¬tect any resemblance whatever betweenthem that he ought to have the position ofcashier in some large banking establish¬ment.Mr. Todd finally modifies the nature of

his charge against me from a penitentiaryoffence to that of mere "campaign lying."He concludes by giving it as his opinionthat it is a ."campaign falsehood manufac¬tured for a purpose." Perhaps Mr. Toddknows this. May be he knows whostarted it, as it doubtless originated aboutthe time that he made that statement to"two or three intimate friends" by way ofexplaining my active opposition to him. Ihave seldom been accused of stralghtoutlying, and even now, I congratulate myselfthat it comes from the'source it does.from one whose memory, to say the least,is greatly at fault. Mr. Todd has repeat¬edly said that he sent back some of mypapers for correction. I emphaticallydeny that he ever returned any of myschool papers, and in proof of this asser¬tion I refer to Mr. Fant's certificate pub¬lished in the Intelligences of the 9th inst.,and if that is not satisfactory, I can pro¬duce affidavits from our Township SchoolTrustees to the same effect. That he didhis best to conceal the truth and make thepublic believe that I was guilty, is evi¬dently apparent. He fortified himself hereuntil the action of the Trustees renderedhis position no longer tenable. He finallyyields with reluctance to the inevitablewith the words : "J never charged him withfraud" and in that declaration Mr. Toddhas again shown a very treacherous memoryto the greatest disadvantage. For lessthan one month ago Mr. Todd himselfwrote a letter to a gentleman in the vicin¬ity of Townville, in which he explainedmy active opposition to hiru, by stating"that'he (Todd) had tripped me in a fraud¬ulent school claim." He also asked thegentleman "to use the letter as he sawproper," that is, in Mr. Todd's interest.The letter was read by some of the busi¬ness men of Townville, as well as by anumber of others, and, if Mr. Todd desiresit, I can publish for his edification theirsworn statements, and prove the origin of"the campaign falsehood manufactured fora purpose."
