THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. BRIEF MENTION. Next Sunday is Easter. Mayor Tolly is enlarging his residence. The Palmetto Band ?were out serenading on last Tuesday evening. Severe cases of pneumonia are reported in several sections of the County. We understand that cotton-picking is still going on in some localities in this County. Mr. 0. B. VanWyck has purchased the dwelling recently vacated by Mr. Wm. L. Bolt. The residence of Mrs. Georgia Brown has lately been much improved by a coat of .paint To-morrow is Good Friday. Plant beans, sow tobacco and cabbage seeds and go to Church. There will be divine services in the Epis? copal Church to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock. Mr. It L. Moorhead has been appointed Deputy Clerk of Couflf far this County, vice Wm. L. Bolt resigned. Three Italians, with a harp and two vio? lins, furnished delightful music on onr streets during the past week. Messrs. Sullivan & Mattison and J. B. Clark & Sons now occupy the new store rooms in the Centennial House. Wild turkeys, partridges, doves, wood? cocks and pheasants are the only feathered game protected by law in this State. Judging from the amount of improve? ments going on in Williamston, we would conclude that her citizens are prospering. The farmers' meeting to be held in the Court House on Saleday In April will be addressed by Maj. Thomas H. Bussell, the President. See the chs; ce in the advertisement of Messrs. J. P. "Sullivan & Co. Our readers will always be honorably dealt with by this establishment. Bev. J. E. Carlisle delivered a very able and interesting discourse on the subject of intemperance on last Sunday night in the Methodist Church. Divine services will be held in the new Presbyterian Church for the first time on ?ngjt Sanday week, 4th of April. The ser? vices will be held in the basement Seethe prospectus ofthe New York World, which appears on another-page. It is one of the most influential and reliable. Demo? cratic journals in the United States. \ Mr. John Major, a son of the late Mr. Elijah Major, died at his residence in Bel ton township on last Thursday after an illness' of s week or ten days of pneumonia. Mr. J. W. Sherard, a prominent and in? fluential citizen of the Dark Corner, has recently been suffering considerably from the effects of a wound received during the war. The election of officers for'Anderson Di? vision, No. 1, Sons of Temperance, to serve the ensuing quarter, comes off this (Thurs? day) evening. AU the members are re? quested to be punctual in attendance. The State Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association will meet in annual session in Orangeburg on Thursday next, 1st April, and several members of the An? derson Association anticipate attending. ? Mr. Wm. L. Bolt has removed from this T>lace to Seneca City, where he will embark in merchandising. He has been the faith? ful and official scribe in the office of the Clerk of Court, for the post eight or nine years. The entertainment given by the ladies !of the Methodist Church on last Friday even? ing was a success in every respect. The net amount realized aggregated abont $120, which will be used for improving the Chnrch property. Appointments of the Y. M. C. A. for next Sunday: To conduct the afternoon meeting, H. G. Scudday?Scripture, St John 14-; Poor House Committee, J. W. Todd, J. M. Hubbard; Jail Committee, A. B. Towers, J. B. Clark. Portable steam saw-mills are getting to be quite numerous in this County of late. There are at present two at work on the road running torn Anderson to William ston, and from all appearances they are doing a pretty good business. The South Carolina Presbytery will meet with the Williamston Presbyterian Church on Wednesday, 7th instant and continue in session several days. The delegates will be hospitably welcomed and entertained by ?hc good^pepple of Williamston. We would call attention to Dr. Flagg's advertisement, which appears elsewhere. The agent Mr. Leroy, is at thcWaverly House, where he may be consulted without charge during the balance of the present and perhaps a part of next week. The "Victory Dash" advertised in another column, and for which Mr. L. H. Seel is agent at this place, is an invention of one of own citizens, and is said to be an im? provement on any thing yet introduced into this section for churning. Give it a trial. As a tin and stove dealer Mr. L. H. Seel has established an enviable reputation. He always keeps a full stock of tinware and stoves on hand, which he sells at low figures and on the most reasonable terms. He is an enterprising merchant, and deserves a liberal patronage. See his advertisement. Mr. James B. Chamblee, an aged and respected citizen of this County, died at I his residence in Varennes? township on j Wednesday night of last week, and a large 1 number of relatives and friends moum his death. His remains were buried in the graveyard at Mt Creek Church on Friday. In consequence of a misunderstanding the meeting of the stockholders of the An? derson Educational Association appointed for Monday last was not held. The Presi? dent requests us to say that the stockholders will meet on Monday next, 29th instant, at 10 o'clock, and that a full attendance is earnestly desired. We bad the pleasure of dining with about fifty young ladies on last Sunday. We were the guest of Dr. Lander, President of the Williamston Female College, and it has been a long time since we beheld such an array of beauty and loveliness as met our bewildered gaze on this occasion. This is an institution of which our people should be proud, as its standard is as high as that of any female college in the State, and its government everything that could be de? sired. We have for some time post had a ma? chine for mailing our papers, but owing to our inability to secure the necessary "sorts" v.ith which to put our mailing list in type, we have not been able to use our machine except to a very limited extent. We are pleased to state, however, that we have now' secured everything necessary to put it into operation, and in the course of a few weeks our entire issue will be mailed with it. which will be an improvement that both subscrib? ers and postmasters? particularly the latter ?will greatly appreciate. The ladies of the Baptist Church are ar? ranging for a hot dinner and supper for Friday, 2d of April, and will spare no effort to make the entertainment a success, the j proceeds of which will go to the parsonage fund. The usual variety of snbstantials as weU as delicacies will be furnished, and the public generally are invited. Mr. D. H. Hammond, aD enterprising farmer of Williamston township, brought us a sample of a two-acre patch of wheat last week that is about two feet high. He says that the sample is an average of the whole patch, and that from an acre and a quarter of the same ground he gathered forty bushels.of the same cereal last year. The drama, "Naval Engagements," which was to have been rendered in Masonic Hall on last Friday evening and been a part of the entertainment that was given by the Methodist ladies, and which was postponed for the reason that the inclement weather prevented the necessary rehearsing, will be presented in Masonic Hall this (Thursday) evening. The public generally are cordiayll invited to attend. The State Board of Health are taking steps to have all persons in the State vacci? nated who have not been heretofore. There has been little or no vaccinating done in the State since the war, and in case small-pox should be introduced into our midst there would be nothing to prevent it spreading. It is a wise move, and boards of physicians in ever locality of the State will be charged with the duty of performing the operations. A correspondent of the Bamwell People makes the following pertinent remarks con? cerning an evil habit that many people have acquired, and who make no effort to restrain its force or check its growth: "The habit of talking in church, during the ser? vices, is certainly a great evil, and a very popular one, and a habit, if indulged in only by children, could be borne with some little forbearance; but when persons who have age as well as respectability on their side ore guilty of this deplorable evil, I think they ought to be told of it, and, if propriety would admit, they should be re? buked in public." The New York Cash Storo was never be? fore as pretty and attractive as on yesterday, the occasion of its grand spring opening. The thousands of goods of every descrip? tion, character and color that liued the counters, adorned the shelves and windows, and that were suspended on cords stretched from side to side and from end to end, pre? sented a most beautiful sight, and attracted scores of our citizens who lore the beautiful and admire the picturesque. This store was the center of attraction throughout the entire day, and from about 11 o'clock in the morning until late in the afternoon was crowded with ladies, who kept the polite and accommodating proprietors and clerks busy in supplying their many wants. The elaborate decorations were most artistically arranged, and reflected much credit on the taste of all concerned. Messrs. Arnstein & Kose, the proprietors, are highly pleased at the success with which their enterprise and energy was rewarded on this occasion, and will doubtless make similar displays in the future. Dr. Lawrepce C. Neal and Mr. Charley White, of^Hopewell township, in this County, have invented an attachment to a gin for opening cotton bolls that do not fully mature before the stalk is killed by cold weather, and for separating the cotton from the burr. The attachment is a work entirely of their own, is quite simple and has been most successfully operated by them the past season, the results of which will leave no doubt in the minds of any as to its great value to the cotton-producers. We are informed that they gathered enough cotton bolls that would not open from the fields of a single farm this fall to make twelve or thirteen five hundred pound bales, and that the cotton was sold in this market side by side with that which was picked by bond at the same price. If the invention proves to be all that is claimed for it, it will certainly take rank among the most important inventions of the age, and will add millions of dollars yearly to the value of this important crop, as there is always a large per centage of the bolls that never open, especially when the crop Ls late or the fall early. To the Mississippi bot? toms, or wherever the stalk grows very rank, it will be particularly valuable, and from the sample of lint shown us, as well as the quality of bolls from which it was made, we ore inclined to think that it will contribute more to enhance the profit of cotton raising than any improvement that has been made either in its cultivation or preparation for market in. the past quarter of a century. The gentlemen have made application for a patent on their invention, and we hope as a reward for their enterprise and diligence they will make fortunes out of it. Sandy Springs. We are glad to say that our farmers are taking more care in preparing their lands this year than ever before. The only rea? son we can assign for this is that they are all encouraged by their fine prospects. Our school is in a growing condition. Our teacher is doing all he can to advance the cause of education in our midst, and we be? lieve he wiU be crowned with success. Mr. T. L. Reid tells us that there was a rain fall of eighteen inches during the recent wet weather. He learned it from a boiler of that depth in his yard.A very singular occurrence took ploce at Henry White field's (colored) on the night of the 15th inst. An old well, of which no one can give any account, fell in. The negro said that he had rode over it many a time. It is just in front of his house, and is forty feet deep. Anontmous. Town vine. A May party on a grand scale by the pu? pils of the Academy may be expected.It has been proposed to place an organ in the Baptist Church, and money for that pur? pose is being solicited.Messrs. J. A. Gaines and J. A. Burgess have respectively 25 and 15 acres of wheat that can't be beat in the County.Capt. Joseph P. Harris, Sr., a life-long resident of the Fork, died on the 15th instant in the 77th year of his age. He was a grandson of Gen. Andrew Pickcns of Revolutionary note, and had a large circle of relatives and friends here and elsewhere who will sympathise warmly with the bereaved household.Mr. W. C. McCarley, a prominent merchant of this place, found it necessary to enlarge his store room recently. Evidences of Townville's growth are constantly occurring.Mrs. Elizabeth, wife of Mr. James M. Hopkins, of Oconce County, died January 24, 1880, having been a devout and faithful commu? nicant of the Baptist Church for 38 years. She was 60 years of age and was a native of Abbeville County.

Members, dele? gates and brethren are earnestly requested to give their attention. No live Grange should fail to be represented, and the dorm? ant and drooping ones arc especially reques? ted to be present, in order, to give in the causes or probable causes of their diseased condition, so as to intelligently apply the most appropriate and approved remedy. At the January meeting Pomona Grange adop? ted a resolution requesting the Masters and Secretaries to use every available means to revive and resuscitate all dormant and drooping Granges during the next summer, and where there was no hope of reviving by consolidating or otherwise, to withdraw such charters at once. Sub-Granges in this condition will, therefore, be pleased to give us their presence and attention, and consult with us as to the most efficacious remedial application for restoration, vigor, healthy and useful working. A living body joined to an inert body and forced to drag it on through life will certainly retard progress, be exceedingly unpleasant, not to say an? noying and loathsome, and must eventually exhaust the life and energy of the healthy body. Brethren, let not this fatality come upon our order through our inaction, care? lessness and want of fraternal care. Executive Committee. Belton Township Singing Convention. This body held its second meeting at Belton on the 20th and 21st instants. Del? egates were present from Shady Grove, Big Creek, Belton and Cedar Grove Sunday Schools and Choirs. After enrolling the names of the delegates present, the Conven? tion went into an election for officers to serve for the present year, resulting as fol? lows: President?B. D. Dean. Vice President?B. L. Johnson. Secretary?J. M. Ccx. The Convention was lead in singing dur? ing the session bv the following gentlemen: J. J. Bagsdale, E. T. Tollison, J. M. Daven? port, E. M. Poore, B. L. Johnson and Prof. T. L. Clinkscales, of Martin Township Sing? ing Association. On Sunday Dr. W. C. Brown favored the Convention "with one of his happiest efforts in the way of an impromptu speech. After passing a resolution of thanks to the citizpns of Belton for their generous hospitality, and also a resolution requesting the Secretary to furnish the Anderson In? telligencer and Anderson Journal with a condensed report of the proceedings of the meeting for publication, the Convention ad? journed to meet at Big Creek on Saturday before the third Sunday in August next. B. D. Dean, President. J. M. Cox, Secretary. 1880-1885?A Period of Misfortune. The Stellar phenomena which will ap? pear in the sky shortly, announce, as we are told by the Luxembourg Gazette, an event which may become dangerous and destructive to the earth and its inhabi? tants. Since the beginning\of the Christian era the Perihelia (thus the appearance of the stars in the neighborMjpd of the sun is called) of the four gresCfljlanets, Jupi? ter, Uranus, Saturn ana^Septune, have not taken place at the sarae time. But this event will occur during the next five years, and according to Dr. Knapp, who has collected a mass of statistical mate? rial on this subject, the nearness of these planets to the sun. -herKoccurring at the same time, has so' \- ^$?-s been marked by great epidemics and^'ortality. The views of astronomers are to the effect that when one or more of the great planets come near to the sun, the temperature and the condition of our atmosphere is so disturbed, that destructive fluctuations, dreadful torrents of rain, S?ng continued droughts, &c., arise, by which harvests are destroyed and pestilential epidemics produced among men and beasts. Dr. Knapp, wbile examining the history of the great epidemics of more than 2,000 years previous to our present time, has found the fact always confirmed that the nearness of a great planet to the sun has invariably been followed by an epidemic. Thus in the 6th and 16th centuries three of these great planets had appeared near the sun, and in these periods at the same time the greatest and most destructive pestilential epidemics of the Christian era have occurred. But soon after 1880, for the first time during the last 2,000 years, all four of these great planets will at the same time come into the perihe? lion, so that probably for several years, viz., from 1880 to 1885, the health and lives of the inhabitants of the earth will be exposed to a severe trial. Inundations, failures of harvests, es? pecially of potatoes, deadly fevers among men and pests among the cattle are pro? phesied as precursors of the perihelion of the planets. We do not mention Dr. Knapp's fore? bodings in order to distress anybody, we simply communicate facts. That the simultaneous nearness to the sun of all the great planets of our solar system, one of which, Jupiter, is a thousand times larger than the earth, must cause consid? erable disturbances in our atmosphere and temperature, is possible; that these disturbances may be injurious to health is equally possible; and that these as? tronomical phenomena have hitherto been accompanied by great epidemics, is proved by history.?Charleston News and Courier. ? A contemporary properly describes Judge Field, the man who is looming up as a Democratic presidential candidate, as "honest, fearless and independent. He is wedded to constitutional principles and to constitutional laws. He takes the Constitntion in its spirit and essence and interprets it with a mind interpene? trated with the genius of our institutions, a mind in sympathy with that of the fathers, who conceived and who fashion? ed this Governmental fabric of ours, which balances with such care, with such nicety of adjustment the respective and reciprocal rights and powers of the General Government and of the States." Yes, I am Peoud of the Name?"Woman's Best Fbiend.?To relieve the aching keart of women and bring joy where sorrow reigned supreme, is a mission before which the smiles of kings dwindle into utter in? significance. To do this is the peculiar province of Dr. J. Bradfield's Female Regu? lator, which, from the numberless cures it has accomplished, is appropriately styled Woman's Best Friend. The distressing complaint known as the "whites," and the various irregularities of the womb, to which woman is subject, disappear like magic be? fore a single bottle of this wonderful com? pound. Ask your druggist for it. Special Notices. We desire to return our sincere thanks to the hundreds of ladies who, by their pres? ence, made our "Grand Spring Opening" such a flattering success, and at whose hands we were the recipients of so much praise and kind encomiums; but the fact that we could not properly wait upon all is deeply regretted, and we give now the posi? tive assurance that we at all future occa? sions shall be equal to the emergency.
