THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. BRIEF HEHTTOH. The Carolina Collegiate Institute began its exercises on last Monday with nearly eighty pupils. The Amateur Theatricals are practising for an early entertainment, intended to raise money for benevolent purposes. A large drove of horses and mules passed through town on Friday last. The stock came from Kentucky, and was the largest drove ssen in Anderson for many years. We invite attention to the advertisement of Mrs. Jesse M. Smith and Mrs. W. B. Mc Kinnay, who are prepared to make all kinds of gentlemen's wear at the most reasonable prices. The numerous friends of Capt. James Steele in this section will regret to learu that he was stricken with paralysis last week, at his home in Cherokee County, Ga., and at last accounts was not expected to live. Since the opening of the new year, many families in town ha?a changed their resi? dences, and "moving" has prevailed to an unusual extent. We arc thinking about publishing a city directory in order to satisfy enqniries. We are requested to announce that Bel ton Grange, No. 273, will hold its regular meet? ing on Saturday, 5th ef Feburary, at two o'clock p. m. Business of importance) will claim attention, and members are expected to bo punctual in attendance. We are glad to learn that George Morgan, the man who was stabbed some two weeks ago, is fast recovering, and that he and Mr. Milton Gambrell have arranged their trou? ble, so that it is hoped the case will not hare to undergo judicial investigation. .Messrs. Van direr, Simpson and Orr left on last Monday >to resume their labors in the Legislature at tho re-oponing of the ses? sion. Thoy hare been punctual in their at? tendance, and have used all their power to protect and further the interests of their constituents. The total, amount of taxable property in Anderson County is $5,021,463, and upon this sum there has been levied the ?following* amounts, viz: State tax, $55,235.93; County tax, $15,064.35; Special tax for dcficicncic-i, $5,315.01; School tat in four township*.', $9-13,70; Poll tax, $3,175. Total tax, $77,934. A hot lemonade is one of the best reme? dies for a cold. It acts promptly and effi? ciently, and has no unpleasant after effects. One should be properly squeezed, cut in slices, pat with sugar and covered with a half pint of boiling water. Drink just be? fore going to bed, and do not expose your? self the following day. *. ' Up to Wednesday morning 812 persons had paid their taxes, amounting in the ag? gregate to $10,300. Mr. B. D. Dean, the Treasurer, and his assistants are kept busy receiving the contributions of our citizens to the support of tbe State government. About one-sixth of tbe tax-payers of Ander? son County have settled up to this time. A regular meeting of the Merchants' Pro? tective Association will be held at Belton on the first Tuesday night in February next. This Association embraces the merchants of Bodges* Depot, Donaldsville, Due West, Honea Path, Level Land and Belton, and has for its object the promotion of the in? terests of tbe mercantile community. A fall attendance of the members is requested. Col. John B. Peck, Superintendent of the Air Line Railroad, has extended the favor of one fare tickets from Seneca City to Atlanta and return to the members of the citizens' committee who wished to attend the rail? road me:ting in Knaxrfile. Col. Peck is an efficient officer, and is withal a pub lie spir? ited and! liberal gentleman, under whose management the road is fast being brought into prosperous circumstances. Mr. Frank Tryon, the commercial and collecting agent of P. P. Toale, Charleston, is ia our town for the purpose of introduc? ing the Great American Fire Extinguisher, and will give an exhibition of its advantages in suppressing fire during his stay. He wants the Town Council to purchase one or more machines for protection against fire. Oar defenceless condition in this respect ought to induce some move on the part of the citizens. Messn. ?. M. Bucker and Thos. B. Lee, of the citizEns1 committee appointed to attend the raib.*oed meeting in Knoxville, are the only or.ee of the committee who will be present. We regret that a full delegation could not be m attendance, but are glad that those gentlemen of extensive acquaintance with the interests of the Blue Ridge Road will be 8t the meeting, and hope then* influ? ence mny do much to assist in furthering the'building of the road. A correspondent of tbe Laurensville Herald informs us that Wade Davenport, colored, a celebrated house burner of Lau? rent cou aty, who was driven from his home there for his rascality, has located perma? nently about six or seven miles from Ander? son! The people should keep an eye on this man, ami unless he behaves himself proper? ly he ought to be invited to leave Anderson County in the same way that he was mado to go from Laurens. We have no objection to peaceable and orderly colored men set? tling in our midst, but our County should not be allowed to become a refuge for crimi? nals of any color. A preliminary meeting in Broadaway Township was, held at Holmes' Shop on Tuesday evening last, and enthusiastic speeches were made by Maj. John B. Moore and others. Some thirty or forty persons were present, and the utmost accord and harmony existed as to the proposed re-or? ganization of the Democracy. Another meeting will be held on Saturday afternoon at the School-house in the neighborhood of Mr. Wm. Smith's. The citizens of Broada? way Township ore wide awake on the sub? ject of organization, and when the day arrives for the meeting at NeaTs Creek ty> forin a Democratic Club, we anticipate a full and general attendance. HOUSE BlEAXdro. On last Sabbath the dwelling house of Mr. J. W. Prevcst, who resides some five miles from Anderson, was broken into and search? ed for money. Mr. Prevost and family wero absent, and there was no one of the persons residing on the place at home betwetn the hours of 12 m. and 4 p. m., so that the rob? ber committed the crime in the broad day? time upon one of the most public roads in our County. The thief entered the door of the kitchen, which is adjoining the dwelling, and worked his way into the different rooms of the house, breaking into the places where he thought it was probable he would find money. Mr. P.revost's private papers and Mrs. Pre vest's jewelry though broken into were not taken, and the only remuneration the rascal got f or his villainy was a small amount of greenbacks. These circumstan? ces Indicate that the intention was to get j*poney, ond failing in this the thief seemed ?lo fear detection too much to take any arti? cle that could be identified. These outrages ?n entirely too numerous, and A determined effort should be made to discover and punit-h the rascals of this type who arc depredating in the country throughout the State. democratic oB&AirizAinoir.

Tribute'of Respect. Time and death are mighty levellers. How do they bringdown into the dust the strength and ric'ics and beauty in which men pnde themseives. Great and terrible empires; rich and noble families; renowned warriors, statesmen and orators; the peasant and the prince; these, with everything else on which the men of this world set their hearts, sink into the earth together, uncared for and for? gotten. How do human experiences set to the seal of truth, to the sad refrain of Is? rael's Royal Psalmist?"Lord, make me to know mine end,, and the measure of my days; what it is, that I may know how frail I am. Behold, thou host made my days as a handbreath, and mine age is as nothing before thee; verily, every man at hia best estate is altogether vanity. In the morning they are like grass which groweth up; in the morning it flourisheth. and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and wither? ed)." And how doth it become each one of us to unite fervently in the prayer of the Kingly singer?"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." These solemn truths, and the solemn duty flowing from them as a natural sequence, have been pressed home upon your Com? mittee by the death of Brother J. NEWTON COX. But a short time since, at the City of Greenville, in this State, whither he had gone upon business, he was suddenly strick? en down by the hand of a foul assaisin. For the first time since the organization of our Division, death has invaded our broth? erhood ; and while it becomes each one of us to prayerfully ponder this afflictive dis? pensation of Providence, it also behooves us, who were the associates and friends of the deceased, to render such tribute to his mem? ory as is properly due. It is hardly neces? sary to enter into a history of the life and character of our deceased brother and friend. Candid in his nature, manly and generous in disposition, he was endeared to all who knew him well. Faults he had, but they sprung from the head, not the heart. There? fore, be it Resolved, That Belton Division of Sons of Temperance, No. 92, yields with due sub? mission to that Almighty fiat which, in the full vigor of health, and in the prime of life, has called from his sphere of promised usefulness our loved friend and tstecmcd brother, J. Newton Cox. Resolved, That we doplorc his death, and acknowledge in it a deeply afflictive dispen? sation. Resolved, That we commend his widow and children to God, one of whose praises is, that He is "a Father to the fatherless, and a Judge of the widows." Resolved, That as a testimony of the re? gard and respect of the Division for our friend and brother, the Recording Scribe be instructed to transmit a copy of this pream? ble and these resolutions to his afflicted family and relatives, and a copy to the An? derson Intelligencer for publication. WARREN D. WILKE8,) W. H. TODD, }Com. ! W. F. COX, J Alaiiama Gold Life Insurance Com? pany.?Tho advertisement of this insur? ance company appears in our columns, and wo desire to diroot the attontlon of persons contemplating life insurance to its advantages and business. The offi? cers of the company aro warmly com? menced for their sagacity, prudence and skill in the management of its affairs, and to-day its business reaches from tho Potomac to the Rio Grande, while the stock is above par, the dividends hand? some and satisfactory to the stockholders, and the pay .men t of claims always prompt ?standing the crucial test by singular fairness in the adjustment of its losses. Since the company was inaugurated in 18T>9, there has been paid out 8400,000 in de ith cl?ms, and its policies now num? ber nearly six thousand, whilo its cash capital amounts to 8800,000. The con? tract for life iusurance is one of tho most sacred that can be male between man and man, as it deals with the most holy affdctioiis and sympathies of the human heart, ft is a bargain to be fulfilled in honor, sfter the principal contractor has gone out of life. Hence, in choosing tbo company in which to repose this solemn trust, one cannot be too caroful to exer? cise pruiience and Judgment in making the selection, so as to make certain that its management will protect Iiis interests. This guarantee is abundantly afforded by the Alabama Gold Life, and 1o the people of Anderson this company has been fa? vorably introduced by Gen. Stephen D. Lee, who is so well known amongst them for exal:ed character and business quali? fication!!. A local Board of Directors was organized last summer, and Capt. Wm. Waties is the authorized agent of the company. He is engaged in canvassing the country at this time, and will take pleasure in explaining ?he condition, prospects and reliability of the company to any desiring insurance. SPECIAL NOTICES.
