THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL. MATTERS. Circulation Dearly 1900. Tho County Fair. The County Fair is jast seven weeks off, bnt it is not too early for those who contem? plate contributing to its interest and success to be making their preparations. Tbe Fair will be the only thing of importance in this County this tall, and everybody should go to work with the determination to make it a grand success. Let us have a grand exhi? bition of all the industries and resources of the County in October. Mammoth Vegetables. Mr. 8. P. Kinard, of Wilh'amston, is re? ported as having some curiosities in tbe ?vegetable line, which we hope he will bring to the Fair in October. He has a squash half the size of a flour barrel, cucumbers from 18 to 24 inches long and from 10 to 12 inches in circumference, tomatoes as large as your fist and vegetable snakes, four or five feet in length, that are wonders to all who see them. Mr. Kinard takes great pride in his garden, and nearly all of the seeds from which his vegetables are grown were imported._ _ Change of Schedule. The schedule on the Greenville & Colum? bia Railroad has been changed so as to leave Anderson at twenty minutes past seven in the morning going down and at thirty-two minutes past seven in the evening going up. Under this schedule the time from Green? ville to Columbia is shortened about one hour, and in this respect the change is a 5 good one. The hours for the up-country, however, are very inconvenient. Although the time has been shortened, the trains come earlier in the morning and later at night, which is both inconvenient as to mails and troublesome to travelers. We are sorry ' that the authorities have not at least let our hours up this way alone. Let the Result Settle All Differences. The vote upon tbe question of subscrib? ing to the Savannah Valley Railroad has passed off and a very general good feeling exists. The little animosities which seemed to arise in the discussion have been forgotten, and no farther contests or opposition is ex? pected. This is as it should he, for so far as we have any knowledge of the differences on this subject, they were honest differences of opinion. which men had the right to in? dulge and express, and which should not be remembered or spoken of after the question is settled. There is no occasion to allow any unpleasantness to remain from the vote, and those who were successful at least i.hould not indulge in boasting or threats. , Wfth very few exceptions the discussion of | the subject has ceased, and the sooner it is entirely dropped by all parties the better it , will be. The vote on the subscription, in our opinion, settles the question, and the work on the Road will be begun as soon as the taxes are collected in 1880. Tbe work will be pushed forward rapidly, and Ander? son will have connection with the sea coast by two competing lines within a few years. Tho Savannah Valley Railroad In Court. The opponents of the Savannah Valley Railroad in Magnolia township, in Abbe? ville County, have appealed from the action of the County Commissioners, in declaring the vote for subscription carried in that township. Messrs. Graydon and Calhonn, of the Abbeville bar, represent the appel- . Iants, and Messrs. Murray and Murray, of Anderson, represent the corporators of the Railroad. On last Thursday, at Abbeville, before Judge Pressley, a motion was made to docket the appeal for trial. Mr. E. B. Murray resisted the motion to docket, and moved to dismiss the appeal on the ground that the County Commissioners have no ju? dicial powers under the charter, because no appeal lies to the Circuit Court from the County Commissioners, acting as election commissioners, and because the act charter? ing the road gives no right of appeal The Judge beard the argument and took the pa? pers. His decision has not yet been filed. If he should decide to dismiss the appeal, it will end the case. Should he allow it to be docketed, it will then be tried upon, its mer? its, andrthe election will undoubtedly be sustained. Action of the County Commissioners on . tho Railroad Election Returns. At a meeting of the Board of County Commissioners on the 8th instant, official returns of the managers of the election held on the 3rd instant, on the question of sub? scribing to the capital stock of the Savannah Valley Railroad in the townships of Hall, Savannah, Varennes, Centreville and Dark Comer, were received, from which it was ascertained that the majority of the votes cast in said election was in favor of said townships making subscriptions to the capi? tal stock of the said Railroad Company, whereupon the following resolution was passed: ? "Resolved, by the Board of County Com? missioners, acting as the corporate agents of the said townships under and in pursuance of the Act of the General Assembly char? tering the said Rai bread, approved March 12, 1878, and Acts amendatory, approved 24th December. 1878, That the Chairman, R. 8. Bailey, subscribe lor each of said townships the amount fixed-, for each, set forth in their petitions, by a resolution adopted by this Board.on the 22c day of July, 1879, to wit: Hall township, $3,500; VaremKS $5,500; Corner, $3,700; Savannah, $3,850, and Cen treviUe, $5,700." ?. A Serious Accident. Quite a serious accident happened on Tuesday, the 2nd inst., at Cooley's Bridge to Mr. Lewis Abercrombie and wife, Mrs. Hannah Bolt and her daughter, Mrs. Hcl lams, all of whom live a few miles west of Anderson, and who were on their way to Laurons County to attend the funeral ser? vices of Mr. Abercrombie's mother, who died on the day previous. The party were driving two mules to a buggy, and these animals becoming frightened at the bridge ran away and smashed the buggy up against a tree, throwing all of the occupants out and injuring all of them badly. Mr. Aber? crombie was badly hart on the hip and his wife had two ribs broken. Mrs. Bolt re? ceived the most serious injury, having her wrist and jaw-bons broken by her fall, and Mrs. Hellams was cut in the face and other? wise bruised. The wounded party were carried to the residence of Mr. John Chap? man near, where every kindness and atten? tion was shown them by the household and tbe neighborhood, for which they express tbe most appreciative thanks. Dr. Win. Stokes was summoned and gave attention to the wounds, some of which were danger? ous, and all of which were very painful. At last accounts tfie party were improving as rapidly as possible under the circum? stances, and will, we hope, soon be entirely over their injuries,_' No Appeal from Judge Mackey'? Decree. The following are the proceedings of the County Commissioners in reference to the recent decision of Judge Mockey on the great Rocky River drainage case, the full text of which we published on the 28th of August. The proceedings are taken from the official report of their session held on the 2nd instant, and forever settles the mat? ter: "A communication from Col. Brown, call? ing the attention of tbe Board to the decis? ion of Judge Mockey on the drainage cases, wj>s read. Col. Brown was invited to make remarks on tbe subject of appealing from the decree, after which tbe Clerk stated that inasmuch as he represented tbe other side he wonld withdraw, so as not to give any opinion on the matter. * "After due consideration the Board decided not to take an appeal from the decision, and passed the following preamble and resolu? tions: "Whereas."it appearing to us that the de? cision of Judge Mackey reversing the assess? ment of the landowners on Rocky River in tlie drainage cases is based upon the evi? dence that the parties were not benefited by the drainage, and that tho defendants were not liable as petitioners, butas beneficiaries, and it having been decided by a court of competent jurisdiction that the defendants are not liable; therefore, in view of the said decision, the facts presented by the counsel on behalf of the former Board, and the un? certainty of litigation, together with the ex? pense necessary to perfect and carry on the appeal, and in view of the expense already incurred by litigating the said cases by the former Boards, "Resolved, That this Board refuse to let their names be substituted for those of tbe former Board. "Resohed, That this Board are opposed to engaging in any litigation that will likely run the County to expense, especially where the result is doubtful or uncertain, and that (his Board hereby refuses to engage in the ssid suits Or to incur any liability or re? sponsibility in the said drainage cases. "N. 0. Fa km er, "Wh. 8. Hall. "R. S. Bailey being a party in interest did not vote upon the resolution!" BRIEF MENTION. See change in the land advertisement of Mr. J. D. Allen. Mr. C. C. Langston has gone to Atlanta to have bis eyes treated. The first load of mountain apples arrived on Monday from Rabun County, Ga. Quite a number of our citizens went to Atlanta on Monday. It was a free ride. Rev. J. S. Murray will preach in the Baptist Church on next Sunday morning. Mr. J. F. Anderson, of Greenwood, was on a visit to relatives in this County last week. The exceedingly warm days and cool nights are calculated to create sickness. Be prudent. The vote on the subscription to the Rail? road in Hall township stood 99 to 74 in fa? vor of subscription. Cotton picking has commenced in earnest. Fifty cents a hundred, without meals, is the price generally paid about here. The music on the public square on Friday evening by the Palmetto Band was very fine, and was much enjoyed by our citizens. A new invoice Hats just received by C. A. Reed. Agent. His Hat trade still increases, and he is determined to keep the prices down. Col. G. F. Tolly, our popular Mayor, has returned from Greenville, where he has been in attendance upon the United States Court as a juror. The Abbeville papers speak in the highest terms of Judge Pressley. Next week we shall all see him for ourselves, and will then be able to form our own opinions. Mr. Wm. Rogers, a good citizen residing about two mites from Williamston, died the latter part of last week, after an illness of several weeks with typhoid fever. A 11-year-old daughter of Mr. Joseph Martin fell last Monday afternoon while playing with a little brother and dislocated and fractured her left arm at the elbow. Our merchants are determined that An? derson shall maintain her reputation as the best cotton market in the up-country dur? ing the coming season. Don't take your cotton elsewhere until you give Anderson a trial. Capt. W. S. Sharpe and family returned home on Thursday last after a visit of sev? eral weeks to tho Warm Springs in Arkan? sas and to relatives in Mississippi. Wo are pleased to state that he is much improved in health. Rev. J. L. Brownlee, a promising young Presbyterian minister of Due West, and who has been supplying Midway -and Wil liamston Presbyterian Churches for the past twelve months, has gone to Princeton Col? lege, New Jersey, to finish his education. A nightblooniing cereus attracted quite a number of our citizens to the residence of I Col. J. R. Cochrau on Monday night. The flower, one of che most beautiful of its spe? cies, was in bloom for the second time this fall, and still has five buds on it yet to bloom. Lieut. John O'Donnell, while riding out on Sunday morning with two little daugh? ters of Mr. E. E. Keese, was acciden? tally thrown from his buggy and badly bruised about the face and arms. The little girls were not thrown out, and consequently were not hurt. From all accounts the colored camp meet? ing in the upper edge of this County on last Sunday was a huge affair. Several thou? sand persons were present, many of them white, and the singing was distinctly heard five miles away. Be it said to their credit, everything passed off orderly. Nearly all of our merchants have returned home, and are now busy opening and ar? ranging their goods for the fall trade. In anticipation of a large trade this fall they have bought large and complete stocks of goods, embracing everything usually kept by our merchants, which will be sola at the lowest possible living price. On last Monday John Baskins, a colored. Democrat on Mr. J. S. Beaty's plantation, picked 302 pounds of cotton, and had to walk in addition three-quarters of a mile for his dinner. This was a good day's work, and it will be hard for any one to beat it, even after the fleecy staple opens more gen? erally than it has done up to this time. If the discovery of rich mines of valuable metals, and ores continues in Abbeville County for the next twelve months at the rate at which it has been going on for the past few weeks, it is not at all improbable that the whole County will be converted into a grand mining district, and precious stones will become as common as flint rocks. Judge Reed went to Charleston last week for the purpose of consulting phvsicians as to his health, and we are pleased to record the following from the News and Courier as the result of his visit and consultation: "Judge Reed, who had been suffering for some time from a cancer in the face, under? went a surgical operation yesterday at the hands of Dr. Kinloch, assisted by Drs. An crum and Forrest The cancer was success? fully removed, and Judge Reed's friends will be glad to hear that he has hopes of a speedy recovery." We call attention to the advertisement of Messrs. Fant & Bro., which appears else? where. These gentlemen in beginning busi? ness have purchased an excellent selection of goods, and bring to their assistance valu? able experience in merchandising, ("apt. J. Reese Fant, the senior partner, was a mem? ber of the firm of Barr dt Fant, in which he made many friends throughout this County, and will in his new business be pleased to have them coll upon him. These gentlemen are progressive merchants, and will be found fully up to the times both in their prices and in their goods. Mr. John Martin, from the neighborhood of Calhoun, in this County, met with quite a painful accident on Saturday evening last, on Whitner's hill, in this town, while ?n route for Oconee County. He was driving two mules to a wagon, and in going down the hill referred to the mules took fright and ran away, throwing Mr. Martin and a brother by whom he was accompanied out, and breaking the former's left arm between the wrist ana elbow, besides bruising him badly about the head and shoulders. His brother escaped without injury, and they were brought back to town and cared for by kind friends until Sunday morning, whon they were fixed up and sent back home. Special Premium List. We would call the attention of our farm? ers to an offer made by Sloan Bros., of Green? ville, in the premium list for our County Fair iust issued. The premiums they offer will be impartially awarded to those only who deserve them. No near kin will be al? lowed to compete. These gentlemen deal in everything in the seed line, and solicit the patronage of our farmers. * Anderson Market Report?.

Editob: As you are ever ready to give room in your noble paper to anything that will interest your readers, and as I be? lieve some of them would like to know how the Piedmont Association, formerly a part of Twelve Mile River Association, is getting along, I will give you a sketch of .their last Union, which convened with the Moun? tain Springs Church on the 29th of August. The meeting was called to order by Rev. G. M. Rogers, Moderator. The churches were very well represented. The introduc? tory sermon was preached by Rev. D. W. Hiatt, and was, as his sermons usually are, well worth listening to. The following queries were discussed:? Who is the proper judge of pastor's salary ? Are parents responsible for the religious training of their children? On Sunday morning at 10 o'clock Rev. G. M. Rogers delivered a very entertaining Sabbath School address. At 11 o'clock the missionary sermon was preached by Rev. D. Weston Hiatt. In the afternoon Rev. F. R. McClauahan preached a splendid ser? mon from the text, "If thou seek him be will be found of thee." 1 Chron. 28: 9. The Unions, I am glad to say, are grow? ing in interest. They arc unions of .work, prayer and worship. "We are glad to know that all are not willing to barter their souls for worldly enjoyment. The next Union will convene with the Baptist Church at Liberty, S. C. on Saturday before the 5th Lord's day in November next. Phm.o. Sandy Springs. The annual camp meeting st this place will commence Thursday, lSn inst., em? bracing the third Sunday and ( ose on Tues? day following. A very large attendance is expected, and great preparations arc being made to accommodate and welcome all who attend. These camp meetings have been held for many years, on account of which Sandy Springs has become quite a noted place. Our citizens here are especially noted for their hospitality on these occasions,? Extra trains will be run as usual on Sunday from Greenville, Anderson, Walhalla and other points. Rev. S. B. Jones, D. D., and other able divines will be present, and a grand religious feast is anticipated. M. Honea Tath. As it has been some time since our little burg has been heard from through your paper, we will drop you a few items.The farmers in this community are now all busy gathering their crops. Fodder-pulling is going on rapidly, and now the fields are white with our great staple, two new bales of which were sold in our market last week at 10 cents per lb.Our ginners have all put their gins in proper trim, and have de? cided to gin for the 20th, and I think with a little persuasion they would gin for noth? ing, ana furnish bagging and ties gratis. The Union Meeting and Sunday School Union held at this place was well attended, and the Baptists feel encouraged by the re? ports from the various Sunday Schools. We feel proud of the address of our young townsman, delivered before the Sunday School, and congratulate him upon his de? but as a Sunday School lecturer.Rev. Mr. Brownlee, who has been supplying the Presbyterian Church at this place, has gone to Princeton, New Jersey, to continue his studies. Rev. Mr. McLin will supply the church in his stead.Our merchants, Mr. M. I. Brock and Dr. T. A. Hudgens, have gone to New York for goods. Mrs. Hud? gens accompanied her husband.Quite an epidemic of separations between man and wife prevails among the negroes round here.On last Saturday we threw aside professional cares, and spent a gala day at Mr. M. Erwin's mills. An impromptu pic nie and letting the contract for building the Abbeville side of the bridge caused quite a crowd to gather. Mr. M. Erwin took the contract for $2,300, and it is needless to say this will be one of the best bridges on the river; the Laurens side already built by Col. Hoke is a splendid piece of work, and will compare favorably with any bridge on the river. One of the noted events of the day was a boat ride, in which we made one of a crew of twenty-two. and as we sat sur? rounded by the young, beautiful and gay, gliding over the smooth waters of Saluda, we remembered with pleasure the days when we, too, were young, and the cares of life had not found an abiding place upon our brow. During our ride we were treated with some beautiful vocal music by the charming Miss Q. of Charleston, while the eupA(a)onious voices of others joined in. Atlcr the music by the ladies had ceased, some of the boys sang, inaudibly, such lines as? "Cover my defenceless heart With the shadow of thy icing," And? "That pretty girl with sunny curls, My gracious how I love her." After the boat-riding we enjoyed hugely the kind hospitality of Mrs. M. Erwin in the shape of a splendid dinner, and then retired to "Morning Glory Cottage," where for some time we listened to the sparkling wit and sharp repartee of its accomplished young mistress. Night was now approach? ing, and we were forced to wind our way homeward, feeling we had passed a pleasant day._ Something New Under the Sun.?A new era is dawning upon the life of woman. Hitherto she has been called upon to suffer the ills of mankind and her own besides. The frequent and distressing irregularities peculiar to her sex have long been to her the "direful spring of woes unnumbered." In the mansion of the rich, and in the hovel of poverty alike, woman has been the con? stant, yet patient victim of a thousand ills unknown to man?and these without a remedy. "Oh Lord, how long!" in the agony of her soul hath she cried. But now the hour of her redemption is come. She will suffer no more, for Dr. J.

McCclly <fc Taylor, agents Dan? iel Pratt Giu Co., Anderson, S. C. Dcnr Sirs?The GO-Saw Pratt Gin bought from you in the fall of 1877 has been thor: oughly tested since that time, and has given entire satisfaction. I havo no hesitation in pronouncing the sample made by it to be superior to that made by any Gin known to me. I have ginned as much as 350 bales of cotton?have had no repairing to do, and the Gin is now in perfect order. Its great improvement consists; in its Devolving Head, which prevents cotton roll from breaking, and which completely destroys the friction produced by cotton box, there? by increasing its speed, preventing injury to saws, and the sample from being gin-cut.
