A Word to Delinquents.
We are compelled to remind people of de?
fective-memories that many of their subscrip?
tions to this journal have already expired, and
that we are in need of the money. In fact, a
large number of persons begged sufficient tune
during the spring and summer, thai they might
jgalize from their growing crops, und then we
should certainly be paid. But they hare for?
gotten these facts, and ignored their promises.
,We would gladly indulge every good, clever
.follow until the day of judgment, were it possi?
ble and practicable, for we dislike to "dun"
our subscribers very much. But there is a
limit to our forbearance, even; and unless de?
linquents come forward and pay their indebt
hess, many of them will be minus the visits of
ihe InicUigtiteer, and in its stead, we shall be
compelled to send a lawful officer to make col?
lections. Take this hint, if your tine has ex?
pired, and bring on the greenbacks.

\'/ Agricultural Entertainment.
; The Entertainment for the benefit of the
Anderson Farmers' Association will begin on
Wednesday evening next, and continue during
the'Fi?r. We understand that a spirited corps
has under preparation a number of Charades,
unusually upicy and interesting, and the public
may rest assured that this part of the Enter
titjnmen t will enable them "to laugh and grow
fat" We are likewise informed that the great?
est variety of edibles will be constantly access?
ible to tiie hungry multitude, and a splendid
bill of fare will tempt the appetites of the
crowd. The Charades will take place each
evening, beginning on Wednesday, at 7i o'clock.
The programme for refreshments embraces not
only the evening, but also during the day-time,
while the Agricultural Fair is in progress. All
will be held in the spacious building belonging
to the Blue Ridge Railroad, where the Fair
was held last year. We trust a generous pub?
lic will open their purses and patronise the
Entertainment most liberally, as the proceeds
will he devoted exclusively to the purchase of
grounds and the erection of buildings for the
Farmers' Association.
An Effectual Remedy.?The Beaufort
jRepiii)Heart, in commenting upon the course of
a ^Radical cotemporary, points out the true
method of curing the evils now preying upon
tbe-body politic. It is justly severe in its con?
demnation of the primary cause of all our trou?

The editor of the Daily Union has worked
himself into a fever heat regarding the Ku Klux
bands, which according to his statement, are as
countless in numbers as the clans of McGregor.
He sees them in his dreams, in his waking
hours, and his bowlings thereat are frightful.
We can tell him how to treat such cases to pro?
duce a permanent cure. Wipe out the present
State administration from the Governor down
to the thieving legislature, and from thence
through all the minor appointments, clean them
away, and there will then be no Ku Klux hor?
rors to frighten his diseased imagination. J
A New and Grand Enterprise for the
People of Anderson County.
A number of influential citizens, believing
that it was desirable and practicable,, and des?
tined to evolve much benefit to Anderson and
the- surrounding country,, have set on feet a
project for the aggregation of capital to. some
porpoise. It has been proposed to start a steam
cotton manufactory at this place, with a capital
stock of One Hundred m& Fifty Thousand
Dollars. A careful examination has been made
into the relative cost of steam* and water power
to operate a mill on a large scale, and the re?
sults obtained from various sources, thoroughly
convinced the gentlemen connected with the
inception ef this enterprise that the cost of
operating a steam- factory, located directly upon
the railroad would be equally as economical as
the location upon water at a distance from rail-'
road communication. Indeed, the statistics
'presented tor their consideration, showed that a
large number of steam factories were operated
side by side with the best and most advanta?
geously located mills in the Northern States,
and of course competing successfully and prof?
itably with water power in its own immediate
vicinage. As an ?example, we may state that
the mills at Falls Biver,' Massachusetts?the
leading manufacturing centre of New England
at this time?number thirty-one of all kinds.
Twenty-three of this number are operated by
steam, while only eight are run by water.
After careful investigation of this subject, it
was determined to put the ball in motion for
the erection of a steam factory at Anderson
C. H. In accordance with this determination,
a public meeting of the citizens was called on
last Saturday, to be held in the Court House,
that evening. The notice of such meeting did
not reach our citizens generally, but there was
a respectable assemblage at the appointed hour,
showing an evident interest in the proposed
scheme at the very outset which augurs success.
Judge Murray was called to the Chair, and Mr.
Wm. Lee appointed Secretory. On behalf of
the gentleman who had originated and previ?
ously considered the plan, Hon. J. P. Reed
submitted their conclusions and suggestions,
together with a mass of statistical information,
for the consideration of the meeting. A com?
mittee, embracing a number of leading mer?
chants and business men, was raised for the
purpose of investigating the feasibility of the
proposed plan, and to them was referred the
papers presented. When the committee retired
for consultation, Maj. John It. Moore was called
upon to address the meeting, to which that
gentleman responded in an earnest, effective
speech, urging a union of effort in building up
and developing the resources of our County,
and keeping pace with the progress of the age
by entc:ing upon a more diversified industry.
He was followed by Mr. James A. Hoyt in an
effort particularly directed to the encourage?
ment of unity in purpose and sentiment, to
achieve the grand results likely to follow by the
establishment of an extensive factory at this
point His speech was interrupted by the re?
turn of the committee, who reported through
their Chairman, B. F. Crayton, Esq.
The report of the committee endorses the
scheme suggested, and recommends that an or?
ganization be effected under the name and style
of the "People's Manufacturing Company;"
that its capital stock be placed at $150,000;
that the shares be placed at $25 each; that
Commissioners be appointed throughout the
County to solicit subscriptions of stock, return?
able within thirty days to Messrs. 0. H. P.
Fant, N. E. Sullivan and W. S. Sharpe as
Trustees for the stockholders; that the Compa?
ny be organized when it is ascertained that the
sum of $75,000 has been subscribed ; that
twenty per cent, of the stock be made payable
upon the organization, and twenty percent,
every sixty days thereafter until the whole
amount subscribed by each individual is paid
in to the Trustees aforesaid; that each share be
entitled to one vote at the organization of the
Company, and at every subsequent election;
that the officers consist of a President and five
Directors.
These are the principal points embraced in
the report, which was unanimously adopted.
We regret that it is not in our power, for want
of space, to present the proceedings in full to
our readers this week, but this mere outline will
suffice to show the extensive nature of the ? en?
terprise now suggested. We will remark, in
this connection, that it is the design of the
projectors that the goods manufactured here
will not only embrace the finest and coarsest
yarns, bat the making of cloths similar to those
of Graniteville shirtings and sheetings.
The people of Anderson County have an op?
portunity of uniting their capital in this enter?
prise, which not only looks to an additional
profit upon the raw material raised in our midst,
but to tho fostering and development of an in?
dustry that will prove the entering wedge to
progress in tho right direction. All must be
aware that there is a large amount of idle cap?
ital among the farmers of this section. The
successful cotton crops of the last three years
have added materially to the wealth and
strength of this people. True, the amounts
saved annually have not been very largo, nor
are they confined to a few favored individuals.
The profits of farming and other industries
have been more widely diffused than ever be?
fore. Under these circumstances, it cannot be
expected that a few persons would bo able to
enter successfully upon such a scheme. But the
purpose of the proposed organization is to unite
the capital and efforts of the entire community,
and hence the shares are put down at a figure
that will be within the reach of all.
It is unnecessary, perhaps, to engage in a
discussion of the profitable nature of manu?
facturing, especially in the South, where the
bulk of the cotton grown in the world is pro?
duced. It seems to be generally accepted as a
fact that the profits are greater in the South
than in New England and foreign countries.?
Such is the experience of practical, experienced
men, who have investigated the facts and fig?
ures, and compared the operation of mills here
and elsewhere. In truth, it is plain enough
for tho most iguorant to comprehend, that
where labor is cheaper as it is here to-day, the
profits must inevitably be greater; and then
there is a saving of transportation in the raw
material. Now, if the North has grown rich
by her factories, why cannot the South, with
cheaper labor and the supply of cotton always
at hand, add more rapidly to her gains by the
establishment of cotton manufactories. The
universal reply is that this can be accomplished,
if we only possessed the capital. Now, wo con- J
tend that the necessary moans for the develop- j
meat of this idea lies within our grasp, by
siinply concentrating the small sums into con?
venient organizations, and going to work with
a firm determination to make use of the means
vouchsafed to us by a kind Providence. Are
we willing to make the effort? Or is supine-]
^jess and indifference, waiting for others toihelp
us, to be the rule and guide of our conduct?
Let the people of Andereon County seriously
ponder their condition, and prepare to decide
these questions as becomes sensible men, work
ing for themselves and posterity-.: ? j
The practicability of steam as compared jwith
water power is fully sustainedy as we h&rs al?
ready intimated, by the statistics of New'1 Eng?
land. Steam has many advantages, but proba?
bly none more attractive than is.presented by
the statement that, where water is the motive
power, the factory Is necessarily obliged to be
located at particular points, aid in the case of
'steam power, the location is at your option.?
The great improvements made during the last
few years in the construction of steam engines
effects an immense saving of fuel, and is an ad?
ditional incentive to employ it as a propelling
power, because of its cheapness and reliability.
But these and kindred topics will be fully
and fairly presented hereafter. We si mply in?
tended to direct attention to the main points of
the proposed scheme, that our readers might be
prepared for the consideration of its merits
when the proceedings already had are pub?
lished for their more accurate and specific in?
formation. The meeting of Saturday night;
ordered the publication of the entire proceed?
ings, including the suggestions made by j,he
gentlemen who conceived the enterprise, and
which contains a valuable and satisfactory ex?
hibit of the whole subject. We expect to pub?
lish these documents next week.
Martial Law.
The rule of the bayonet has been placed over
nine Counties of this State, under pretence of
crushing out a rebellion which has never exist?
ed. In some of these counties, outrages have
been committed, and the community kept in a
disturbed condition; but this is attributable to
no general concerted movement against the
United States authorities, and is properly
chargeable to Radical barn-burners and mis?
creants no less than to Ku Klux organizations.
We have no apologies to make for such as con?
travene the laws, under whatever pretext. "vjTe
are opposed to secret political organizations of
every kind, and have always maintained this
position. But the true method of eradicating
the evils engendered by Union Leagues.and
Ku Klux Klans has not yet been tried; An
honest, upright administration of the laws in
this State would speedily create such a confi?
dence and respect for civil authority that evil?
doers of every character would be compelled
to shrink before public opinion. Ignorance,
corruption and venality have governed ? this
State for the last three years. Until these are
removed from power, permanent peace and se?
curity will never be obtained, though the land
bristles with bayonets and the whole State is
converted into a military camp.
The condition of affairs in that portion of
the State over which martial law now prevails
is most deplorable. Numerous arrests have al?
ready been made, and hundreds are leaving
their homes, particularly in the counties of
York and Spartanburg. Business is.entirely
suspended, and labor is demoralized. The ex?
citement .is intense, and yet we hear of no re>
8istence to "the powers that be." Patience and
moderation are counselled, under tho most try?
ing circumstances, and while the rigors and
hardships of martial law fall unequally upon
innocent persons, there is a display of heroism
and fortitude that must command the adraira;
tiou of every true lover of liberty.
Gift Entertainment.
We direct attention to an advertisement set?
ting forth a scheme for the distribution of cer?
tain property, including a fine buggy, valuable
watches, jewelry, &c. In connection with this
grand raffle, an entertainment will be given, on
Saturday evening, November 4th, embracing a
series of Panoramic Views far superior to* any?
thing of the kind ever exhibited in this secti?n
?fihe country.. The drawing of prizes will
take place otethe close of the entertaintfeni.'
The entire affair is managed byage^rj?io
whose integrity stands unquestioned^ and*we
are satisfied that fair dealing will be accorded;
to the ticket-holders. Some persons are bound
to profit largely by the investment in -this
scheme, and every holder of a ticket will be en?
titled to admission into the Panoramic Exhibi?
tion, which will alone be worth the mpney.r?
The drawing will take place if only a sufficient
number of tickets are sold to reimburse the
owner of the property. Further particulars
are contained in the advertisement.
S?T The Colored Convention, composed of
representatives from all the Southern States,

States," which has been adopted by the Con?
vention. As an expression of the sentiments
of leading colored men, we will endeavorto
find room in our columns for this document at
an early day.

? The Wilmington Journal says that the re?
sult of the recent State elections at the North
prove two things, of mclancloly import to ev?
ery lover of constitutional and Republican lib; j
erty: First, that a majority of the people^ in ,
that section are tamely submissive to the gi
gantic encroachments of centralized power up
on the rights of States and citizens, and sec?
ondly, that thousands upon thousands are read?
ily corrupted by the brines and emoluments of
Federal patronage. It behooves the people of
the South to look more closely and determined?
ly to their own local affairs and material inter?
ests, and to have less to do with national poli?
tics.
? In view of the recent election in Pennsyl?
vania and Ohio, the Pittsburg Post comes out
in favor of Thomas A. Scott for President, as
the man to carry Pennsylvania against Grant
by an overwhelming majority.
For the Ander son Intelligencer.
On Wednesday next our Fair and Entertainment will
commence, and we would again urge the ladies of the sub?
committee to return their Hats at once, in order that the
Committee of the Association may know bow to make
their arrangements.
Our programme will be to open out at the Blue Ridge
building on Wednesday morning, whero there wfU be a
committee of ladlCH to receive all coutrlbutions that have
been prepared before delivery, and arrange the same.
We hope to feed everybody each day during the continu?
ance of the Fair, and each evening vary the entertain?
ment with Charades, Tableaux and Music.
Contributors are requested to exercise their pleasure in
preparing their contributions at home, or delivering tbem
to the Committee to be prepared. In either case, they are
requested to report to the Committee.
We have received cheering news from every quarter,
and we feel satisfied that the occasion of the approaching
Fair will be one of tbe most pleasant ever witnessed in
Anderson.
W. W. HUMPHREYS, Chm'n. Com.
For the Anderson Intelligencer.
. Mr. Editor : I chanced to be at the Exhibi?
tion at Moffattsville Academy, in the Dark
Corner of Anderson District, on the 11th inst.
The institution is conducted by Mr. Wm. Ham?
ilton, a native of the County, a gentleman of
fine ability and much experience in his pro?
fession. According to the indications of that
day, I think it would be well to make applica?
tion to the Legislature to change the title and
call it the Light Corner. But I understand
they are not ashamed of the name. The com?
positions of the girls, the speeches of the boys,
(original and extracts,) would do honor to any
institution of learning in the land.
The exercises of the day consisted mainly of
compositions and speeches, which were to have
been interspersed with music from the Ander?
son Band, which, however, failed to attend,
notwithstanding conveyances were sent for
them and the money raised for their remuner?
ation. At "Play Time," (as we were wont to
call it, in days of yore,) a most bountiful repast,
such as the ladies of tbe Corner know how to
prepare, was spread and the multitude invited
to partake. After all had feasted, many bas?
kets full of fragments might have been gath?
ered. A participant was heard to remark that
if it were a Methodist community, he would
propose that the meeting be "protracted," at
least until all the good things were consumed.
During the afternoon exercises, a young lady
was reading a beautiful composition on "Music."
In enumerating the different kinds, she spoke
of the music of childhood. Just then a hasty
shower of rain drove the numerous babies of
the crowd into the church, where they practi?
cally illustrated that childhood could be noisily
musical. The exercises were closed with an
address by J. C. C. Featherston, Esq., of your
town, upon the subject of "Thought."
"And with a giant's might
He heaved the ponderous Thought,
And poured a stream of eloquence
With beauteous language fraught."
The vast assemblage then dispersed, no doubt
wishing many happy returns of similar Exhi?
bitions at Moffattsville Academy.

TO encourage the agriculturjj Interests, and

All articles intended for exhibition at the

regular rates of freight by the Company's
Freight Tariff, when going to the Fair, and
which must be paid before the deb* very of the
s-tides to the owner or party controlling the
same; but if not disposed of and returned as
the property of the same party, they will be
transported to the same Station from which
originally sent free of charge, and the amount
paid for their transportation to the Fair will be
refunded, thus securing for aritcles intended
for exhibition only free transportation both ways.
Those desirous of sending stock or other arti?
cles to the Fair will please notify the Agent at
the Station from which it is to be sent, of the
quantity and the car-room required, and at
what time, sufficiently in advance, to enable
him to provide the necessary accommodations.
Agents, on receiving notice, will make im?
mediate application for the necessary cars, that
they may be furnished in time.
RETURN TICKETS will be sold at all Sta?
tions on the Road to Anderson, commencing
