THE INTELLIGENCER. "LOCAL MATTERS. SEIET MENTION, Note the change in the advertisement of H. B. Fant. Instead of two hundred and fifty seven acres it should have been three hundred and two. We are indebted to Washington Reeves, a colored man, for a specimen of his sweet potato crop?some nice white yams. Early and acceptable. A handsome monument has been erected over the grave of the late Hon. James L. Orr in the Presbyterian Cemetery at this place, a description of which is crowded out this Week, but will appear in our next issue. One of our citizens, who was a zealous supporter of the citizens' ticket, remarked after tho election was declared on Monday evening that he felt like Lazarus. When asked how, he replied he felt like he had been licked by the dogs. We are requested to state that the train will run from tliis place to Pendleton Fac? tory and return on next Sabbath, for the purpose of accommodating persons desirous of attending the colored Association, which meets near that place. The fare for the round trip will be sixty cents. An obituary notice in the A. R. Presbyte? rian records the death of Mr. Samuei Stew? art in Union County, Mississippi, on the 6th of July last, in the 75th year of his age. Mr. Stewart was a native of Anderson County, and some thirty years ago removed from this State. Mr. J. Harvey Little of this County has a mule forty-one years of age that has done full work this season, having ploughed a ?crop of twenty acres. This mule was driven to town on last Saleday and appeared more sprightly than many of its tribe that are considerably younger. Our friend, Rev. George F. Round, who is stationed in Edgefield this year, had the misfortune to lose another one of his chil? dren during the last week or two?a bright little boy of two or three years. His little George was buried last Christmas, and now another has gone to join the angel throng! We tender a sincere sympathy in this deep affliction. Rev. L. M. Ayer^he recent pastor of the Baptist Church in this Town, who removed last winter to Jefferson, Texas, to take charge of the Church there, has returned to this country, having found the climate of the latter place unhealthy. He arrived, with his family, in Anderson on last Tues? day morning. We are glad to greet them in our midst again. One of the many non-residents, who was claiming a vote at the recent election but who had not been in town for over six months, gave as his reason for wishing to vote that he was a citizen of the town ?nd had had some of his washing done here. One of the by-standers remarked to him that the washing consisted of two shirts, which were detained for some of his debts and had been cleansed since his departure. He did not vote. We have received from the Superintend? ent, Col. J. P. Thomas, the official register of the Carolina Military Institute for 1374 '75, with circular for 1875-76. The register gives a list of the cadets in attendance upon the exercises last session, with tho name of the parents and the standing of each pupil in each several study and discipline. The circular sets forth in an apt and forcible manner the designs of the institute for the future. Several of our readers have asked us about the statement of our Texas correspon? dent that Col. Elam Sharpc, the former member of the Pendletoa Agricultural So? ciety, was now living in Texas. Our cor? respondent is mistaken. The Col. Elam Sharpe to whom he refers is a son of Maj Elam Sharpe who was the member of the agri? cultural society as stated in an article in this paper some time since. Major Sharpe was the father of Dr. M. L. Sharpe, of our Town, ?and lived at Pendleton. He has been dead -for some years. THE TOWN ELECTION. The most exciting town election that has '"been helu in Anderson since the war came off on last Monday. On one side was the citizens' ticket, consisting of Mr. James A. Hoyt for Intendant, with G. F. Tolly and Col. J. N. Brown for Wardens, nominated at a public meeting in the Court House, and on the other was a self-nominated ticket, consisting of Col. Jehn R. Cochran for In tendednt, -with Capt's. 8. M. Pegg and John McGrath for Wardens. The question of license or no license was a distinct issue, ?and was voted upon separately. There was no contest over the Wardens, as their elec? tion was conceded by all, for each party ?could elect two under the system of cumula? tive voting, which is in practice in the mu? nicipal election of Anderson. There was however a warm contest over the position of Intendant. Mr. Hoyt, at the earnest so? licitation of friends, had allowed his name to be placed in nomination for this thank? less position, and was supported with a zeal and cordiality by the best citizens of the town that is in the highest degree compli? mentary. Col. Cochran, of ?course, was sup? ported by almost the entire colored vote, assisted by a portion of the white vote, which preferred tho triumph of the colored party's candidate to the success of a candi? date who had no axe to grind and who was the tax-payers' nominee, together with a few white politicians who expect to receive similar favors from Col. Cochran, cither in the Legislature or the County election next year. Coi. Cochran, it is understood, ran among other things for the purpose of elect? ing his brother-in-law town weigher, and used every endeavor to secure his own elec? tion. The negroes were treated by >ouie person every night for days previous to the election, and every possible effort was med to cause a defection ai :ong the white voters. The negro party calleti themselves the Rug tagged and Wool-hat crowd, and the citi? zens' the Kid-glove party. They circulated the report that it was a fight of the rich man against the poor man, and misrepresented in every way possible. These however did them little or no good, for the whites, with the exception of those identified with the negro party or expecting favors from it, voted solidly the citizens' ticket. The white majority, however, was not large, and of course the negro party won by a considera? ble majority, and hence the ticket elected .stands: For Intendant?John R. Cochran. For Warden??John McGrath, S. M. Pegg, G. F. Tolly and J. N. Brown. The license issue was also decided in favor of license by a decided majority. There was a considerable number of persona who voted illegally, though not enough to change tho result. Some of them were underage, some non-residents, itc. There was a committee of citizens at the polls who challenged nil these votes, and propose indicting such of them as the proof can be obtained concern? ing* The Council failed to pass the usual ordinance as to closing the bar-rooms, and hence these institutions were kept open until they were notified by some of the citi? zens that they were compelled under the State law to close up. The turn tho election took shows clearly that the negroes will stick together, and that the only chance for the whites to win is for them to do the same. Those who do not wish party lines drawn should remember that it is a simple necessi? ty, for the negroes have repeatedly done it, and as they are controlled by one man it amounts simply to making him master of the Town and County if the white vote di vides. We have heard of compromises long enough, and will confess that we have been disposed to try them repeatedly, but there is no longer any use to think of compromising with the Republican party under any form it may assume. To compromise with it is simply to conform to "heads I .'in, tails you lose," or when the leaders of this party propose a compromise they in reality only mean to say "you give and I will take." It is time, high time, for all white men to unite to put and end to this ruinous and de? moralizing course. SALUDA BAPTIST ASSOCIATION. This body is composed of churches locat? ed in Anderson and Abbeville Counties, and is one of the oldest religious organizations in this section. The seventy-third anniver? sary meeting has just closed, and was one of the most pleasant and harmonious sessions we have ever attended. The ordinary busi? ness was conducted with great courtesy and deliberation, while the discussions were always tempered with brotherly love and sincere affection. On Thursday morning, the delegates convened at Salem Church, five miles north of Anderson, when the in? troductory sermon was delivered by Rev. R. M. King, of HoneaPath, whose discourse was earnest, practical and appropriate. All the churches belonging to the Association were represented, except one, with a full complement of delegates. The election of officers resulted in the unanimous choice of Rev. J. S. Murray, Moderator; Rev. Mike McGee, Clerk; C. E. Horton, Assistant Clerk and Treasurer. The former Moderator, Rev. W. E. Walters, declined, a re-election and returned his thanks to the brethren for the trust and confidence reposed in him during the last eight years. On assuming the chair, Mr. Murray made a brief and earnest address, and the after? noon was occupied with arranging the order of business, designating the committees and assigning their duties. On Friday and Sat? urday the business sessions were taken up in discussing matters pertaining to the Asso? ciation, and arranging plans for the coming year. The benevolent enterprises in which the denomination is engaged received a full share of attention, and it is a gratifying fact that the churches comprising the Saluda Association have supported these enterprises during the past twelve months with en? larged liberality and energy. The money contributions were greater during that time than any corresponding period since the war, and it was fully shown that the churches are more deeply imbued with the missionary spirit than ever before. The plan of systematic beneficence is more gen? erally accepted by the churches, which arc awakening to the importance of every indi? vidual member doing a full share of the work. These benevolent operations are under the management of an Executive Board, which is constituted as follows for the next twelve months: Rev. J. S. Murray, Rev. W. E. Walters, J. A. Hoyt, Dr. John A. Robinson, E. B. Murray, James W. Poore and J. Bel ton Watson. One church was added to the Association this meeting. It is called Cedar Grove, which was recently organized two miles below Williamston. Rev. James K. Mcndcnhall represented the Home Mission Board, located at Marion, Ala., which has charge of missionary opera? tions within the Southern States ami the Indian Territory; Rev. A. W. Lamar, of Spartanburg, ably advocated the cause of State Missions, for which he is the general agent; Rev. W. A. Therrell and Joseph Cox, Esq., agonts of the Furman University, made good s]>eechcs in behalf of that insti? tution ; Rev. A. Jaegar, of the Theological Seminary, presented the claims of the stu? dents' fund, which is used exclusively for the education of young men for the minis? try who are unable to defray their expenses; j and Rev. J. J. Getsinger urged the claims of the Working Christian as the denominational organ for this State. There was preaching once or twice each day during the meeting, and a considerable j number of visitors were in attendance upon the services. On Sabbath morning, the con? templated exercises of the Sabbath School interested u large and appreciative audience, who crowded the church building to its ut? most capacity. At ten o'clock Rev. J. S. Murray preached at the stand, and at eleven o'clock Rev. W. H. King delivered the mis? sionary sermon at the same place, while Rev. W. L. Brown, of Spartanburg, preach? ed to a good audience in the house. In the afternoon Rev. J. K. Mendenhall occupied the pulpit, which concluded the services of the Association. The crowd numbered nearly two thousand, and the very best order prevailed throughout the day. The arrange? ments for the Association were excellent and complete, reflecting much credit upon the community, whose doors were wide or>en to delegates and visitors, and whose I hearts were gladdened to the fullest extent f by the presence of large numbers. The most abundant and profuse hospitality was kept up during the entire meeting, and none who shared it will soon forget the generosity and liberality with which the community around Salem Church responded to the de? mands upon their resources. THE CHARLESTON FALL TRADE. Theopcniug of the fall trade in Charleston is announced in our columns this morning by two leading houses in different lines. Messrs. John G. Milnor it Co. have long been extensively engaged in dry goods, fancy goods, clothing, bats, ct cetera, and our merchants who do not already deal with them would <lo wo" to cultivate their ac? quaintance.

To prove the last assertion, I ginned three hun? dred and twenty bales on mine and never removed the caps from the inks; in fact, 1 don't think I lost twenty minutes in all the time fr?ua anything wrong with the Gin.
