Crayton, President; A. B. Towers, Vice President; A. P. Hubbard, Secretary and Treasurer; S. Bleckley, W. P. Barr and M. Lesser> Executive Commit? tee. ANDERSON BIBLE SOCIETY. The twenty-seventh anniversary of the Anderson County Bible Society will be held In the Presbyterian Church on Sabbath morning, 26th of September next. Rev. L. M. Ayer was appointed at the last meeting to preach the anniversary sermon, with Rev. W. W. Mood as alternate. Rev. Edwin A. Bolles, District Superintendent of the American Bible Society for South Carolina, is expected to be present BEIEF MENTION. On last Saturday, Mr. Wm. Junkin, son of Capt. Robert Junkin, while running a race, got his leg broken by the falling of his horse. His injuries are painful, but under the care of Dr. Sytomes they are healing as satisfac? torily as could be expected. Owing to the fact that the crops in the West and Northwest have been cut off by the severe freezes *of last winter, the grass? hoppers of the past spring, and the recent extensive and destructive floods, it behooves our farmers to increase their acreage of small grain for the fall sowing. Sow early and largely. We regret to announce the death of little Leila, daughter of Mr. W. F. Baker, of At? lanta, Ga., which occurred at the residence of her grandfather, Dr. P. A. Wilhite, of this place, on Tuesday night the 17th inst. Though only fifteen months old she was a bright and interesting child, whose death leaves a vacant place that is mourned by fond parents. The remains were conveyed to Atlanta for interment. There Was a social pic nie at Keys' Spring on last Saturday, given by some of the young people of our community. The en? tertainment of tele a tctc and dancing, to? gether with the demolition of a tempting pic nie dinner, constituted the enjoyment of the occasion, which those in attendance speak of as one of the most pleasant affairs of the season. We are indebted to the com? mittee for ax invitation. W? are informed that Double Springs Grange, No. 214, will give a pic nie on Thursday, 2nd of September, and an invita? tion is extended to the surrounding country. Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, Master of the State Grange, with other distinguished gentlemen, are invited to address the meeting. Col. Aiken is thoroughly conversant with the wants and the necessities of the farming community, and his speeches are always di? rected to the advancement and improve? ment of the farmers, who ought to favor him with a large audience at Double Springs on Thursday next. The pic nie at Erwin's Mill on next Wed? nesday, 1st of September, promises to be a large affair, and will doubtless contribute greatly towards the success of the proposed cotton factory at that point. Invitations have boen extended to Messrs. T. B. Lee and John B. Moore, of Anderson; Hon. W. D. Simpson, of Laurens; Col. D. W. Aiken, of Cokesbury; Maj. J. N. Lipscomb, of New berry ; Col. Thomas Thomson, of Abbeville; W. A. Giles, Esq., of Graniteville, and Prof. J. N. Young, of Due West, who are request? ed to address the meeting in behalf of the projected enterprise. We trust a genuine and generous enthusiasm will be awakened, which will result in the speedy erection of the factory. We thank the committee of arrangements for a courteous invitation to be present TOWN COUNCIL. This body elected for the ensuing year met and qualified on Monday 16th inst., and have not up to this time disappointed any person by their action. They have re? duced the license of retail bar-rooms from $3S0 to $250. Messrs. Brown and Tolly would have preferred having it at the former price, but as the majority were against them they could effect nothing. They then proceeded to elect a cotton weigher for the town, and the names of Mr. J. B. McGee (who was recommended by the merchants of the town) and Mr. E. E. Kecse (a brother-in-law of Col. Cochran) were placed in nomination, and the vote stood as follows: for Mr. Keese, Cochran, McGrath and Pegg; for Mr. McGee, Brown and Tolly. Hence Mr. Keese was selected by the vote of his brother-in-law over the man who had the recommendation of every cotton buyer in town, we believe, and the Council have departed from a precedent that has never before been disregarded. This has justly been condemned by all who do not desire to sec our town govcrnmet become the property of one man, and hence the merchants do not propose to abide tho result as will be seen from their proceedings in another col? umn. On last Monday morning a portion of the Council rode around town to inspect the streets, and we hope they will endeavor by pushing work upon them to make Home amends for their unwarrantable course in other respects. Since writing the above, two ordinances have been passed. The one prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors to children un- j der sixteen years of age, is a good one, but was not needed much, as very few chaps of that tender age are enough beyond the paren? tal authority to patronize dram shops very extensively. The second is the ordinance relative to the Town weigher, which is ex? ceedingly obnoxious. The principal use for such a personage, if the Council had the right to appoint him, is utterly ignored in this ordinance, and we believe it was done on purpose to array the people ?f the County against the Town, and to scatter discord us far as possible. We refer to the amount of deduction to be made from the weights of cotton on account of its being wet. There are very few men who cannot tell how much a bale of cotton weighs upon a pair of scales, and they need no man to take care of their interests in this respect; but they will frequently differ as to how much water is in cotton, and here is the chief use for an impartial weigher, to act as arbitrator upon this question. It is very inconvenient to the merchant, as it will require him to have some one present to look after this in every bale he buys, or risk losing money on his cotton. The only effect of such ordinances will be to injure the cotton market of our Town. It is oppressive and injurious to our merchants, and should be set aside as un? lawful. THE COTTON WEIGHER. The merchants and cotton buyers of the Town of Anderson met on Saturday last for the purpose of forming an Association to change the past system of weighing cutton sold in this market. As this matter has be? come one of such great interest it may be interesting to give a brief account of how it became connected with the town govern? ment, and also of the causes which render it advisable to have this connection severed. About the beginning of the War, at a time when every man was weighing his own cot? ton, and no one questioned his right so to do, great irregularities in the weights occur? red, and certain unprincipled men practiced fraud in their weights to such an extent that the merchants of the Town, generally, de? termined to put a stop to it by selecting one man to do the weighing for all buyers and sellers, and selected Mr. 0. H. P. Fant, a gentleman in whose judgment and integrity all parties could place the uttermost reli? ance as the cotton weigher for the Town, and made it a rule or matter of contract be? tween the parties that the seller should pay ten cents for every bale weighed. This sys-* tern continued until after the war without any question as to its legality, and in 1SGG Mr. Fant being engaged in business desired that he might have an opportunity to take an oath of office and give a bond for the I faithful performance of his duty as cotton j weigher, in order that there might be no 1 complaint from the sellers, and at Ins re? quest the merchants of the Town asked the Council to create the office of cotton weigher and to elect Mr. Fant as such weigher. The Council, which was composed of Judge Murray as Intendant, and Messrs. Hoyt, Fant, White and Whitner as Wardens, ac? knowledged they had no right to enforce the ordinance, but as a matter of convenience and accommodation to the merchants they did pass the ordinance, and required a oath of office and bond with security from the weigher. They also further complied with the petition of the merchants by elect? ing Mr. Fant the cotton weigher. Their ex? ample has been invariably followed by their successors in office, who have always elected the persons recommended by the merchants, until the present Council. This was placed in the hands of the Council at a time when it was difficult to get men to serve as coun cilruen, but since then it has become such a desirable (?) position that some men are willing to spend half their nights upon the streets for weeks before the elections, and spend their money in frequent treats to se? cure the suffeages necessary for election. The election of a cotton weigher has thus become an injury to the Town, by creeping into our municipal elections, and virtu? ally being controlled by a set of negro voters, who are neither buyers nor sellers, so that after the result of the recent election it was clearly understood that the merchants were to have no influence in the selection of the next cotton weigher, but that political and family affairs had plainly designated who the coming man was to be. It was evident that Col. Cochran intended forcing his brother-in-law upon the people in the face of their earnest protestations, and as many of our citizens thought it inexpedient and unjust for our Town government to be preverted into a tyranny and source of fami? ly revenue the meeting of merchants and cotton buyers, the proceedings of which ap? pear elsewhere, was held, and after mature deliberation they decided that they would weigh their own cotton, and would unite together and employ some one gentleman to do the whole of this weighing for them, and of course they pay him for his services just as they do any other one of their clerks and it costs the seller nothing. Mr. J. Ii. McGee was unanimously selected for the po? sition, and it is expected that he will enter upon his duties at an early day. The selec? tion gives very general satisfaction. The action of Col. Dodamead, Supt. G. it C. R. R., is most highly appreciated for its cour? tesy and liberality in furnishing the mer? chants with the necessary scales. The present Council have, however, passed an ordinance requiring every bale of cotton to be weighed by the man elected by them, and propose enforcing it by a penalty. This involves some very nice legal questions, and is in our opinion a monstrous tyranny, for if the Council have tne right to fix a tax of five cents per bale they also have the same right to fix five, ten or any other number of dollars, and it is as clearly an ordinance in restraint of trade, and therefore void as any can be. The law under which they claim this power is a clause of Sec. 6 of the amend? ed charter, which reads as follows: "And the said Intendant and Wardens shall have full power to make and establish all such rules, by-laws, and ordinances respecting the roads, streets, markets and police of the said Town, as shall appear to them necessary and requisite for the security, welfare and convenience of said town, or for preserving health, peace, order and good government within the same." Now the weighing of cotton cannot be embraced in any of these. The word "Markets" clearly refers to articles sold for consumption by mir citizens. The Council lias no power whatever to enforce an ordinance abridging the rights of any class of citizens, unless it be upon some sub? ject that affects the interests of the inhabi? tants of the town, and the sale of cotton docs not come within this list for it affects no other persons than the buyer and seller. They have the same right to appoint some one man to measure off every yard of good? sold in our stores, to appraise every horse i sold in Town that they have to appoint n cotton weigher. The same principlo is in? volved. But this ordinance is clearly contrary to the constitution of the State, for it must be either a tax or a charge. If a tax, Art. 1, Sec. 36 of the Constitution, provides that all taxes shall be ad valorem, and the price for weighing a five hundred pound bale of cot? ton is the same as for weighing a three hun? dred pound bale, although their values are quite different. If considered as a "charge" Sec. 37 of the same article prohibits it unless the consent of the Legislature is had there? for, and this consent must be actual and not constructive. It is also contrary to the letter and spirit of the Constitution of the United States, which prohibits any local interference with commerce between the State?, or the imposit ion of duties on imports or exports. Now the cotton brought from Georgia or North Carolina bore is clearly not liable to this charge, and if not no other can be, under See. 12 of Art 1 of the State Constitu? tion. The law will be tested and the tyrant's rule forever broken. It is stated that the now style of panta? loons this fall will be large enough to pin back, which announcement will have a solemn effect upon certain lank and lean legged youths of our acquaintance. Noth? ing personal, gentlemen, and the lighting editor is off on a summer tour. A DISCORDANT SCHEME. Col. Coehran lias been industriously cir? culating some printed petitions, which are about the purest article of Buncombe he has ever attempted tit palm o(T on the peo? ple of the County. They recite that the producer is equally interested in the weighj of his cotton with the buyer, and that he ought to have an equal voice in the selec? tion of the weigher. They conclude by ask* ing the Legislature to make the position of cotton weigher a county officer, and allow him five cents per bale, to be paid by the seller, for every bale weighed. This is un? just, impracticable and only intended to produce discord and work mischief. In the first place, there is no justice in allowing a man who only sells ten bales of cotton to have an equal voice in selecting the weigher as the merchant who buys fifteen hundred, for they are by no means equally interested in the matter. In the second place, it is not just that the eighteen hundred negro voters who sell comparatively no cotton, should vote for who 3hould weigh the cotton for our farmers. In the third place, it is unjust to allow a man who sells his cotton at Bel ton, Williamston, Pcndleton or Honea Path to vote for who shall weigh cotton at An? derson. In the fourth place, it is unjust, if other producers arc allowed to vote for the weigher, that men living in Georgia, Oconee or Abbeville who sell cotton at Anderson should not be allowed to vote for the weigh? er also. But just suppose the office is made a county officer, then every man must be compelled to have his cotton weighed by him, and must therefore bring it to Ander? son to sell, or else must wait about selling at other places, until this county weigher can go around to the various places in the County; and while by an election in this County we would probably get a good man, in three-fourths of the counties of the State incompetent and corrupt men would be elected by the ignorant colored majorities therein, and both buyer and seller greatly jeopardized thereby. Our people may rest assured there is no good intended for them in it, and we hope they will not sign the petition if they have not already done so, for if the Town Council will just attend to their own business, the merchants of the Town are determined to make such arrange? ments as will meet the approbation of their customers, and furnish the weighing of the cotton free of expense to the seller. There is not a county in the United States that elects a cotton weigher by the people, and there is no authority of law for, nor justice in, any such course. F?RMAM UNIVERSITY. It is proposed to endow Furman Univer? sity, located at Greenville, in such a way as to extend free tuition to any of the youth of our State, provided the sum of Two Hun? dred Thousand Dollars is secured by Janua? ry, 1S7G. About twenty-six thousand dol? lars remain to be secured, and Rev. Mr. Therrell, agent of the University, has been sent to this County with a view of raising $5,000. We hope that he may receive the hearty support of our people, and realize complete success in his efforts. The cause of education is one that should be liberally supported, and we are unwilling to admit that the people of Anderson County enter? tain less appreciation of its advantages than those of Abbeville, Ncwberry or any other county in the State. Mr. Therrell is a sys? tematic canvasser, and began his work in Williamston ten days ago". He expects a liberal response from every one with whom he conies in contact, and desires the people to make up their minds before his coming. AUGUST FLOWER.
