We took the ears Friday morning for Wal
Milk, ud found the number or down j>asaengers
much larger than the/ were a few weeka
pre*ion*. The Railroad mod be doing a fair
business, as we learn that the freights are aleo
on the increaae. Anderson la decidedly a cotton
market. They are paying at thia time 13
eenta for the heat qualities, and every day a
considerable number ot cotton wagona may be
aeen in the atrceta. The complaint ia, that it
will take about one-third of the cotton crop |
to pay lor the fertilisera used in ita production. <
Unless the price of cotton greatly improves,
or the costs of fertilisers becomes one-third
less, there will be a great falling off in their ,
nae another year. It eecma reasonable, that (
(he manufacturers of phosphates in this State, (
might come down in the price, when the stock
in the companies ia selling for two and three
timet ita original cost.
The cars now run twice daily between Andortoa
and lleltoo, so that one ia never die- 1

same day. This la a great convenience, and 1
Induce# a considerable increase or trareU 1
We learned at Anderson that Rot. Mr. ^
Beverly, Pastor of tbe Baptist Church, has '
tendered bis resignation, solely on the ground
of insufficient salary; but the Church holds |
him in deservedly high estimation, and efforts <
are making to retain his Ferries*, which it is
to be Loped will succeed. It is a thing to be
lamented, that deserving ministers are so often
compelled, by the necessities of their families,
to abandon fields of useful labor. The poople
generally, of all denominations, are not yet
sufficiently alive to their duty and true interest,
in supporting preachers, who are under Qod,
the promoters of religion and morality, without
which good society, and good governments,
cannot exist.
A venerable minister, Rev. Thomas Dawson,
now past the age of four-score, got on
the cars near Pendleton, and we bad an interesting
talk with the old gentleman before arriving
at Walhalla. lie is a native of Eng.
land, but has been a citizen of this country
about 54 years. He knew old Mr. Hayden,
formerly of Greenville, and the family of
Thomas Rows, in England. Many years
ago, whilst traveling in Grca^gille District,
on calling to get dinner at a bouse by tbe
w.vtirl. K. was inrnriiMl at h?tnr accosted
by the man of the houae as an old acqaintance,
to the salutation, 44 llow are you, brother
Dawson." lie responded, 44 Yon are mistaken.
I am no acquaintance of yours. You
cannot know mo." " Yea," aaid the man, 44 I
do. I was present when you were baptised in
old England." Just then a woman came out
with another, 44 How are you, brother Daw on."
" I do not know you either," be replied
; but she also informed him that she had
seen him baptized. He replied, 44 If you
will repeat what the minister aaid to me on
that occasion, I will believe you." She told
him the preacher aaid: "You are a soldier of
King George God grant that you may henceforth
be a faithful soldier of King Jesus." A
mutual and joyful recognition followed, for this
was the very word of the.preacher. The prayer
of that minister has been answered. Mr.
Dawson has been for more than half a century
an exemplary Christian and active and
useful minister of the gospel; beloved and respected
by every one. He did abandon the
army of King George, and enlisted for life
and eternity among the hosts of the King of
kings, and Lord of lords. Mr. Dawson married
soon after settling in this country a
Welch lady, 12 years bis junior, who is still
living in good health, after having borne him
15 children?nearly all of whom are still living.
The descendants of this venerable pair
1 . ?r.- e ?f ik.
now numoer uuuui un/? u?mo v? uuiuwi
re great-grand children. They had five sons
and aeveral grandsons in the Confederate
army, and a son and grandson, Hunnicuyt,
fell in the aervieo. It was a brother of the
latter who was shot some two years ago by a
negro rioter. The murderer was tried and
executed for the offence in Pickens County.
Spending Sunday in Walhalla. we heard
sermons preached by Rev. Mr. Chymes,
of Georgia, who supplies the Baptist congregation.
We also heard Rev. Mr. Smei.tskr
in the Lutheran Church Sunday afternoon,
and a lecture by Dr. Turner at night,
delivered in the Methodist Church. Mr.
Chymes is a young and promising preacher,
and quite popular with his congregation. The
Baptist and Presbyterians have no house of
worship as yet, in Walhalla. The former,
however, are well accommodated in the use of
the Court House, and Dr. Turner preaches
two or three Sundays every month in the
Methodist Church?the Methodist having no <
resident minister. Prof. Smeltxer is a man
of learning and a forcible preacher. He is
said frequently to persuado his hearers by
" the terrors of the law." His text on Sunday
afternoon was from Hebrews : " Our God is a
consuming fire."
Dr. Turner, a distinguished minister of
the Presbyterian Church, who long officiated
as pastor at Abbeville Court House, is now
one of the Professors in the Lntheran College
at Walhalla. The College still bears the name
of Newberry, although removed from that
place. Dr. Turnkr preaches and lectures to
the congregation of his church. He is now
delivering a course of lectures to young men,
warning tbem against the peculiar perils which
endanger their morals and true success in life,
and which lead their souls to perdition. On
Sunday evening bis topics under this head
were two: The dangers of a devotion to monoytnaking
as the supreme and all absorbing pursuit,
and the dangers and demoralisation of
gambling. Tbe lecture was well calculated to
benefit nls bearers.
politics.
There is not a great deal of excitement
in Oconee ; there is a compiaint of apathy
and indifference on the pait of some who
ought to he up and doing. In Anderson
there Is perhaps more excitement. They
are holding meetings about in various
places ; tiia candidates and others atlen > '
and make speeches. Mr. Batlis F. Crat- 1

deison, is very actire, scarcely remaining
at home ol late a single day ; we presume (

The Election?L>ast Call.
On Wednesday neat is the election for
3overnor, Lieutenant Governor, members
o the Legislature, and District officers ?
Every good citizen will surely tnrn out end
role at this most important election. There
:an be r.o excuse for refusing to vote ; he
who neglects this duty will prove false to
himself and to bis country. If, however,
Ihere are any that have no higher motive
than mere parly feeling, they had better
stay at home. We trust that Greenville
will give a good aecount of herselt this time,
and sustain nil those candidates known to I
be friends of economy, low tsaes, and a
pure administration of puhlie affairs.
The law of Congress provides severe penalties
against every one who threatens any
man for voting ae he pleaaea. or obstrueia
htm in the exercise of the right to vote.?
The colored men, therefore, may freely vote
for any man of any party in whom they
have confidence, and none dare molest
them. They need not fear the League, or
its abettors, or any one else. .But the law
does not prohibit the use of persnssion and
fair argument; so all may gel as many
votes for the right men as they can, but if
violence or fhas of employment is threatened,
they subject themselves to severe penalties.

Usury Laws.
What the people shoulJ Insist upon their
eandidates for the Legislature, of all parties,
is a repeal of the act of 1866 in tills
Slate, which abolished the previous usury
law. The country is injured by legalising
rates of iuterest beyond seven per cent.?
Pour years' experience has proven the expectations
of good arising from it were

many of the members are now convinced it

War News.
Sinee Inst week, the situation of affairs in
France continues but little altered. The
Prussians are nearly ready to bombard Par*
is unless peace is made or the city surrend
rs, one of the other of which we hope
may be done. Paris brought on the war
and threatened death to all who advised
agaiost it. She ought to save herself from
unnecessary ruin. Nothing but almost certain
successful defence can justify the mili
tary in provoking the destruction of a city
Many skiimishes and some considerable batties
with detached forces occurred, with varying
success, but victory in most eases re*
mains with the Prussians. Metz still holds
out.
The famous Oaribalw has joined the
French and the Papal troops likewise, in all

FRIEND OF REFORM.
October 10th, 1870.
For the Greenville Enterprise.
Ifefrs. Editor*?Allow me through yoai
paper to correct an erroneous impression that
has been made by designing office-seekers for
political effect, in reference to the obligation
of the Union League.
The charge ha* been made and circulated,
that all members of the Lesgue are bound and
pledged by their obligation to vote for tbeii
nominees. Nothing was ever more erro,
neous; and such a conclusion is either tb<
result of wilful ignorance or of designing de
ception. The obligation of the League, aa il
is laid down in the Ritual, i? not so odious U
patriotio eitixons as some bare imagined ; and
had it been carried out in its true meaning
and intent, no cause of complaint would now
exist; bnt all its fundamental principles hart
been ignored, and all its true meanings and
intentions hare been snbrerted and manipulated
by the adoption of the odious practice
of Nominating Conventions. The obligation
is, in substance, as follows:
M All members of the League are pledged to
rote for good and reliable Union men?supporters
of the Constitution of the State and
the United States?men that will encourage
the elevation of the laboring masses, and
promote all measures of peace and brotherly
lore; patriotic citisens who will administer
the Qorernmcnt with economy, justice and
liberty."
Can any man, who took this obligation^
say in truth, that bis expectations hare been
realised ? and wonld any patriotic citixen refuse
to take it now, if he bad any assurance
I that it wonld he faithfallr carried out for the
future ? But wby has there been ueh a woful
and dreadful mistake in the aeleetion of our
ruler* under tbi* obligation? Because corrupt
men have impressed the people with the
Idea that all member* of tbe League are bound
to vote for the party nominee*, I* the simple
and easy answer; while the spirit and Intent
of the obligation is in direct opposition to
such nominations. The open and avowed object
of tbe obligation is to prevent the evils of
an aristocratic oligarchy; the centralisation
of power in tbe few, who would have us believe
that they are born to rule. To prevent
those principles from gaining a foot-hold in a
free Republican Government, was the object
of the League. But are they not all encouraged
and practiced by tbe present system of
nominations? Most asnredly they are. The
liberties and rights of the people have been
interfered with and manipulated by eorrupt
rings and designing demagogues long enough ;
it is time that the people should assert and
maintain these rights, untrammeled by the
nominations of any party.
Now if we are to be bound lo nominations,
why do we elamor for universal suffrage?
Why all this jubilee over the 15th Amendment
? If we are to delegate to twenty or
thirty men tbe right and power to ehoo*.
oar ralera by nomination*, why not juit u
well restrict the franchise et once to twenty
or thirty voter* to each County t It amounts
to the same thing in practice. Nomination*
are partial suffrage in it* worst form; going
to tha ballot box to vote a humbug and a
fare*, when the man i* eontroled by nominations
made contrary to the approval of hi*
own judgment. It I* always safe to infer
when you hear a man ery out, " stick to the
nomination," thst he is dead weight, or has
some friend that is dead weight, that will have
to be lugged through on the shoulders of some

M?*r *?i intended by oar obligation,' but
preeieely the reverse. The only blading
pledge tbat I tee la the obligation la reference
to voting, la not to vote for a nan whoee re*
cord la aot patriotic and boneat; end if we
were to act eonaiatent with oar pledge In
naaay laatancea j and if we were to rote for
the nominee, the act woald leave tbe stain of
perjury on ear seals, for we are boned la
truth to vote for none but aaen of tbe higbeat
order of intelligence and moral patriotism.-Consequently,
it may sometimes occur, ea It
bu ia oar rooent nomination, that oar obligation
may Tory seriously interfere with our
Toting for the nominees, for it ia a fact that
defies contradiction, that no pledge or obligation
of the Leagoe can or ever has, by any
principle of honor or of justice, required any
mem ber to Tote for the nominees, and no other
party can find any justifiable excuse to adopt
the odious and tyranlcat practice. AH honest
mam ?f mil naattaa arlmU tkat mfnem In ?ka
I Government la jraiHr needed, and all Intellipat
man know tkat no reform can, or ever
will be made, aa long aa men will blindly vote
for nomination*. Right at thia point reformation
ahonld begin, if ancccaa la expected
hereafter. When all nominatlona are ignored
by the people, and men are forced to atand or
fhll by their own merit; then will we secure
the election of Juat auoh men aa the pledge of
the League requires na to vote for?and until
thia plan ia adopted, the hue and cry of reform
ia another hnmbng and bnrleaqne on the
righta and liberties of the people. No Republican
or Democrat, who prises the righta and
liberties that are guaranteed to him by the
Constitution of the United States, and sealed
by the blood of his fathers, will ever be tram|
meied by the nominations of cliques and
rings eontroled in the interest too often of
corrupt olca seekers. +**

have at lost completed their work thro' this

Sovoral routes were surveyod through the

which will bo adopted, but the indications are
ve ry strong in favor of tho one which passes*
up the ravine in front of Wofford College,
and crouoi Rutherford atreot South of the
graveyard. Contracts will soon be let out to
Greenville, and the grading on tho entire lino
from Charlotte, N. C., to Atlanta Oa., will probabiy
bo completed by the first of Juntinry,

his contract to llroad River, which he is bound
to finish by tho titno mentioned above. When
tho grading is finished it ought no', to require
more than six months to lay tho euporstruoturo.
Tho benefits of tho rond to our people
aro already manifest from tho increased demand
for labor and property, both of which
command higher prices. Tho laborers of the
County should remember the selfish advice
given them by their white radicul leaders in

This state of partial collapse is often the
irrmonitorv symptoms of some serious mainly.
It indicates unmistakably that tbe vital

In snch cases tbe effect of a few doses of
HOSTKTTKR'8 STOMACH BITTERS is
wonderfully beneficial. The great toalo
wakes up the system from its drowse. Tbe
secretions and the circulation receive a new
impetus. The relaxed nerves recover their
elasticity under the operations of the speeilo,
like tbe slackened strength of a musical instrument
in the process of tuning. Lethargy
and debility are replaced hy energy and vigor,
the spirits riso, and life that almost seemed a
burden while tbe season of depression lasted,
becomes once more enjoyable. That such a
radical change should be produced by a remedy
entirely devoid of the powerful alkaloids
and minerals so extensively used in modern
practice, may seem incredible to those who
pin their faith- on the medioinal efficacy of active
poisons, bnt if these skeptics will take the
