On last Saturday night a stabbing affray occurred near the residence of Mr. R. L. Campbell, in which a man named George Morgan was dangerously, if not fatally, stabbed. The wounded man, Milton Gambrell, K. L. Campbell and perhaps some others were at Mr. Campbell's honte, and there was no unkind feeling whatever manifested during the evening. At about ten o'clock Messrs. Morgan and Gambrell left the house. Some distance from the house Mr. James Erskine sa w two men. on the road engaged in a diffi? culty in which one seemed to be stabbing the other, as he saw the glittering of steel in the moon light He with others went tc; the place and found Morgan upc n the ground stabbed in the throat and temple. The next day a knife with blood upon itjwas found in-the field on the side of the road where the difficulty occurred, and the wounded man charges that Mil ? ton Gambrell did the stabbing. It is but just to Mr. Gambrell to state that he denies all knowledge of the affair. At last accounts the wounded man was alive , though it was not expected that he could recover. CAROLINA COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE. The socond term of the scholastic yea;: in this institution begins on Monday next, 17th inst. President Ligon will v continue to occupy the responsible posi? tion for which bis attainments and expe? rience so eminently qualify him, and his assistants this year will add fresh reputa? tion to. the institution over which he pre? sides! Upon the reorganization of the faculty, we are pleased to announce the fact that Mrs. C. R. Murray has become connected with the Institute, and its friends and patrons will congratulate themselves that her services have been secured. Her experience and qual? ifications as a teacher are too well known in this community to need any comment. Mrs. Margaret Van Wyck has also re? sumed her place as an instructor in the Institute; Mrs. Bo rstel will preside again over the music department, and Prof. Laughlin will give his entire time and attention in the literary department. This makes the faculty larger and more complete than in any previous year, and it only-remains for the friend* of educa? tion in our midst to discharge their duty, in order to sustain the efforts of Prof. Ligon towards elevating and advancing the standard and prospects of the Insti . tute. \ DEATH OF MB. JOSEPH PllEVC ST. We are pained to announce the death of Mr. Joseph Prevost, which occurred quite suddenly on last Sabbath night from neuralgia .of the heart. Ha bad been in his usual health until within a few days of his death, though he was not confined to his bed nor threatened with any serious sickness until after he retired on the night of his death. Mr. Prevost was an influential and highly respected citizen of our town, and one of the most systematic and successful planters of our County. He was one of the few persons in our midst who have united the theo? retical and practical in agriculture with marked success. He was in his seven? tieth year, having attained the age of sixty-nine on the 3rd day of October last .Mr. Prevost was a native of Charleston and resided in that city up to the year 1862, at which time he was driven from the home of his nativity by the misfor? tunes of the Confederate arms, by which large numbers of the Charlestonians were compelled to leave their homes to seek refuge in the interior of our State from the invading forces of tlu> North, which threatened destruction to their city. Mr. Prevost settled iu Anderson County at that time, and remained a citi? zen in our midst up to the time of his death. He was a kind-hearted and pub? lic-spirited gentleman, who had made many friends in his new home. His remains were interred in the Pres-, bytorian Church yard on last Monday afternoon, tho funoral ceremony being conducted by Rev. H. T. Gregory, of tho Episcopal Church. A NEW YEAR FESTIVAL. On Saturday, the 1st inst, which was New Year's Day, Mr. B. F. Crayton, with the kindness and consideration for which he is noted, gave a holiday festival to the German families upon his planta? tion. All the German immigrants in the County were invited, and quite a num? ber of them were present. They seemed to enjoy themselves exceedingly much, and spent the greater portion of the day, from the morning up to 12 o'clock at night, in dancing. It is quite entertain? ing to see ti e pleasure this amusement iffords them. They dance only round dances and all, from the oldest to very -mall children, enter into this amuse? ment with smiling faces and inexhausti? ble energy. They really love it, and display a powerful endurance of violent exercise which is far above that of Amer? icans. Mr. Crayton did everything in his power to afford them pleasure and amusement Tho furnishing of an abun? dance of lager beer was highly apprecia? ted, and served to enliven them during the whole entertainment Probably a hundred and fifty or more of our citizens from different parts of the County were present during the day, and very few escaped being compelled to try the dance for a few moments, at leost There woro about forty immigrants upon Mr. Cray ton's place and some thirty-five from j other plantations in the County, making about seventy-five in all. Everything passed off pleasantly, and the best of order and kind feeling prevailed through tho entire day. This is the way our citizens should treat their immigrant laborers if they wish to make them happy, contented and prosperous. Mr. Crayton's success in the use of immigrant labor is due to the tact with which he manages them, and tho consideration he always mani? fests in their behalf. They are all devo? ted to him and their labor is satisfactory and remunerative. Other persons by a similar course towards them can be equally as successful. They appreciate kindness and persons who treat tbem well soon gain their confidence and good will. We are glad to know that persons who have secured immigrants through Mr. Crayton are well pleased with them, and we would urge our people to do all that is in their power to assist in build? ing up our country by bringing out di? rect from Germany, whenever thoy can afford to do so, immigrants in as large numbers as may be needed. DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION. The citizens of the following townships meet at the times stated below to organ? ize Democratic Clubs: Sandy Springs precinct meets on Satur? day, tho 15th inst.; Garvin Township at Bishop's Branch, Fork Township at N. 0. Farmer's Store, on Saturday, the 22nd instant; Broadaway Township at Neal's Creek Church, Varennes Township at Flat Rock Church, Dark Corner Town? ship at Sherard's Store, Pendleton Town? ship at Pendleton, Rock Mills Township at Williford'8 Store, on Saturday, the 29th instant. We hope the meetings will be well at? tended, and that the other townships will send notice of their timo of meeting at once. Let all organize, and each Club j elect two delegates to meet in County Convention whenever called. BRIEF MENTION. If you have a favor to ask of an editor, don't forget to shut the door after you when entering his office Have any of tho ladies recollected that this is leap year ? Several timid youths in this vicinity are anxious to know. It is stated by weather observers that the lato spell of spring-like weather is similar to that usually experienced every seventeen years, and that the same char? acter of weather prevailed in 1859. The Piedmont Factory will be in oper? ation two weeks hence, and it is proposed to have a grand pic nie in honor of the event. Col. Hammett has pushed thiB great enterprise amid many difficulties in the financial world, and deserves im? mense credit for his able management. Charles Sullivan, the man who mur? dered J. Newton Cox at Greenville in October last, was arrested in Spartanburg on last Saturday by Capt. Alley, who conveyed his prisoner to the Greenville I jail. Sullivan is a desperate character, and was engaged in stealing a horse when he was arrested. On Saturday afternoon Mr. Calhoun Clinkscales met with an unfortunate ac? cident by which he lost his life. While driving in his buggy on his way home from Belton, he lost his hat and in an effort to catch it, fell out of the buggy in such a way as to pull his horse back so as to step on his stomach, thereby inflict? ing a wound from which he died at about 10 o'clock on Saturday night at the resi? dence of his father, Mr. Reuben Clink scales. In the most primitive days it was re? cognized as a truth that in order to do business a merchant must be known. Tho first efforts consisted in selecting a store in a public thoroughfare and put? ting up an attractive sign. These metn ods were effective only iu attracting the attention of passers-by. With the growth of journalism a merchant was for the first time enabled to address an au? dience not only in his own vicinity, but at all points from which trade could be attracted ; so that a card in a newspaper became the most effectivo salesman, who i said precisely the right thing in the best manner, and whose activity could not be measured. A card in the newspaper of to-day is a missionary a year hence. Alabama Gold Life Insubance Com? pany.?The advertisement of this insur? ance company appears in our columns, and we desire to direct tho attention of persons contemplating life insurance to its advantages and business. The offi? cers of the company are warmly com? mended for>heir sagacity, prudence and skill in tho management of its affairs, and to-day its business reaches from the Potomac to tho Rio Grande, while the stock is above par, the dividends hand? some and satisfactory to the stockholders, and the payment of claims always prompt -standing the crucial test by singular fairuess iu the adjustment of its losses. Since the company was inaugurated in 1869, there has been paid out $400,000 in death claims, and its policies now num? ber nearly six thousand, while its cash capital amounts to ?800,000. The con? tract for life insurance is one of the most sacred that can be made between man and man, as it deals with the most holy affections and sympathies of the human heart. It is a bargain to be fulfilled in houor, after the principal contractor has gone out of life. Hence, in choosing tho company in which to repose this solemn trust, one cannot bo too careful to exer ciso prudence and judgment in making the selection, so as to make certain that its mauagement will protect his interests. This guarantee is abundantly afforded by tho Alabama Gold Lifo, and to the people of Anderson this company has been fa? vorably' introduced by Gen. Stephen D. Lee, who is so well known amongst them for exalted character and business quali? fications. A local Board of Directors was organized last summer, and Capt. A. Waties is the authorized agent of the company. He is engaged in canvassing tho country at this time, and will take pleasure in oxplaining the condition, prospects and reliability of the company to any desiring insurance. A CARD. Ata meeting held in Temperance Hall, January, 6, 1876, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, Anderson Division, No. 1, Sons of Temperance, feel profoundly grateful to the ladies and gentlemen who so liberally patronized the Fair given on the 24th of De? cember last in the interest of their said Or? der; and whereas, they are no less grateful to the Hall Committee of Hiram Lodge, No. 68, who so generously remitted all charges for the use of their said Hall; and feeling that a proper acknowledgment is due for these kindnesses, therefore be it Resolved, That the thanks of Anderson Division, No. 1, Skins of Temperance, are hereby tendered to the ladies and gentlemen who so liberally patronized their Fair, with ti e assurance that they have received from steh support much encouragement in the good work they have before them.

To the Citizens op Garvi:y Townb?iip : You are earnestly requested to meet at Bishop's Branch School House on the fourth Saturday of the present month, at 21 o'clock,' for the purpose of organizing a Democratic Club. The time is propitious to make an effort to free ourselves from the terrible oppressions of Radical rule. To do so every man must unite and step to the front ready for action. Aid of the right. kind has been promised us, but to avail ourselves of this aid we m ast organize. Let every man turn out. January 10, 1876. ? A. H. Stephens continues in a very feeble state from disease in one of bis lungs. Though he eats and sleeps well he does not regain his strength. It is feared he will not be able to take his seat in Congress during the present session. ? Judge James Johnson, who will be remembered as the Provisional Governor of Georgia under President Johnson, has announced himself as an independent candidate for Governor on the platform of principles embodied in Grant's Des Moines speech and message to Congress. ? Congress proposes to reduce the army to a force of only 15,000 men, thus saving to the government annually 83, 300.00O. This immense sum of money has, up to the present time, been spent every year in upholding the carpet bag governments at the South, and tbe coun? try is becoming anxious to "unloa d." ? It is learned that tbe late VicB Presi? dent Wilson bad concluded his volumi? nous work on the rise and fall of the slave power with the exception o f three or four chapters. The material for these was left in the hands of the Rev. Samuel Hunt, of Natick, Mass., Mr. Wilson's private secretary, who will complete the work. ? Edgefield Advertiser r In view of the rascality developed by low men in high places, let the honest voters of the country everywhere resolve to knock down and stamp tho very first fellow that asks for an office). A stern policy like this might purify the political at? mosphere, and give us such a govern? ment as was contemplated by Washing? ton and bis compatriots. ? Edgefiold Advertiser: The spring? like weather is a never-ending topic of wonder, and of conversation. So long has it lasted in Edgefield, that our hills, valleys and fields are literally covered with green grass. On Monday last, tho heat of the suh was actually sickoning. As we stood on the Court House steps taking notes of the land sales, we were actually struck with a strong desire to "go in a washing." Tribute or Respect. Anderson Jan. 3, 1876. At a regular convocation of Burning Bush Chapter, No. 7, Royal Arch Masons, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, it hath pleased Almighty God, in His inscrutable Providence and infinite mercy, to remove from this earthly taberna? cle our esteemed and worthy Companion, Rev. James M. Landress; who gave in his life a bright example of all those virtues inculcated by Masonry, which have existed from time immemorial with all good men, and are as expansive aus the blue arch of Heaven ; and whereas, while recognizing the hand of the Supreme Architect of the Universe, who doeth all things well, we deem it proper, in fraternal regard to our deceased Companion, to give some testimo? nial of the esteem in which he was held by this Chapter. Be it therefore Resolved, That in the death of Rev. James M. Landress we have sustained the loss of a faithful and zealous Companion?one who never failed, amidst the cares of earth, to give indubitable evidence of his unwavering devotion to the best mtereets of our mystic circle, and his consistent life has made an indelible impression upon our hearts?the temple of brotherly affection. Resolved, That the family of our deceased Companion are assured of our .sympathies in this sore affliction, and earnest prayer for the protection and guidance of Him who has promised to shield the widow and pro? tect the orphan. Resolved, That a blank page in our Record Book be dedicated to the memory of Com? panion Landress, together with his name, age and date of death inscribed thereon. Resolved, That the Secretary is hereby in? structed to forward a copy of this preamble and resolution to the family of our deceased Companion, and that they be published in the Anderson Intelligencer. < *?* A true extract from the minutes.
