THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. BBIKF MENTION. Mr. Samuel M. Crayton and family left last week for Florida on a visit to relatives there. They will remain in the land of flowers for several months. . See the advertisement of Messrs. Wil? son & Reed, which appears in another column. They want those who who have received credit from them to come forward and make payment of their debts. They are also agents for Zell's Phosphate, and have a limited amonnt of the celebrated Cheatham cotton seed for sale. Give them a call. The Union Meeting of the churches of tho Third Union District of the Saluda j Baptist Association meets in Anderson on next Friday and will continue in ses? sion until the following Sunday. The exercises will doubtless be of an interest? ing nature, and we hope the citizens of the village will, as far as they may be able, attend the meeting. On last Thursday night the colored Baptist Church at this place was entered by unknown parties, and the lamps be? longing to the pulpit and chandelier taken out and broken against a tree. The villan.5 who committed this outrage ought to bo severely punished, for it was evidently prompted by deliberate malice, without even the poor extenuation of personal gain. A number of citizens of Broadaway Township held a preliminary political meeting at Smith's School-house on last Saturday afternoon. Mr. M. ?. Mitchell was elected Chairman, and an address was had from Mr. E. B. Murray on the subject of organization. The meeting decided unanimously to join the Demo? cratic Club to be formed at Neal's Creek on next Saturday. Much enthusiasm was evinced by those present. Wo regret to announce the death of Mrs. Warren D. W ilk es, which ocsurred at the residence of her husband, near Bel ton, after a short illness, on last Saturday morning. The funeral services were conducted on last Sabbath by Rev. W. P. Martin, and wore attended by a large concourse of people who were present to pay the last tribute of earth to the depart? ed one. Her remains were interred 'in the lamily huryingground near Calhou a. The change in the advertisement of Messrs. Bleckloy, Brown & Co. arrived too_3ate_for insertion this week. They want all the money that is due them, and give air warning that somebody "will be sraed the first thing they know." They also announce that the price of the Wando Fertilizer has been reduced this year, and that they will soli no other fer? tilizer, as they believe it is as good or better than any other Fertilizer in the world. Call on them for specially favor? able terms. Mr. C. A. Reed's advertisement arrived too late for insertion this week, It an? nounces that he is now selling his stock of goods at reduced prices, and so m 3 lines of goods at >3ost. He urges immediate settlement of amounts due him. He also proposes to furnish the farming commu? nity -with first class Fertilizers on favor? able terms, and can also supply them with the justly celebrated Cheatham cot? ton seed. He asko the favor of a call from the public wishing any articles in his line. We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Flo ride B. Darracott, -which oc? curred at tho residence of her daughter, Mis. L. 0. Hammond, near Beltou, on last Sunday night. Mrs. Darracott was one of the oldest ladies in our County, being in the eighty-first year of her ago. Her remains were interred in the Pies byterian church-yard on Tuesday last, the funeral exercises having been per? formed by Rev. W. W. Mood in tho Methodist church, of which the deceased was a member. Mr. B. F. Crayton has removed to bis plantation, some three miles from An? derson. His elegant and commodious residence now in process of erection out there will very soon be completed, and will add greatly to the convenience and appearance of his place, which is noted for being one of the best improved, and most desirable farms near Anderson. "We regret to lose Mr. Crayton and hin family as citizens of our town, though ho has not entirely deserted us, for he con? tinues in business here and will spend his days in town. We are glad to learn that the Anderson Brass Band is to be re-organized at an early day, and will be composed of com? petent and experienced musicians. It will add much to the pleasure of those who love music in our midst for the new band to favor the town with an occasion? al feronado. Its organization is now completed, and the arrival of a bass born, which has been sent lor, is the only thing necessary to enable them to play. A Band will be a very great addition in the campaign this summer, and no doubt its services will be called into requisition on various occasions. - We wish the new Sand much success. The residence of Mrs. Matilda Anderson, on the Pendleton road near the mile post, was entered during her absence on Saturday last, and there was every indication that a thorough search had been made, as the bu? reau drawers and chests were ransacked, while the contents were scattered in every direction. Money was clearly the object, as no article of clothing or furniture was miss? ing. A gentleman rode up to the house just as Mrs. Anderson returned home, and while she was entering the house he saw some one retreating rapidly into the woods in the rear of the building. No clue has been obtained as to the perpetrator of this attempted rob? bery. The frequency of robberies in this vicinity suggests a word of caution to our citizens. It is evident that there are worthless charac? ters in our midst, who are determined to make their living by theft, and every pre? caution should be taken to prevent any op? portunity for their success in this line. All of these robberies have occurred in day-time, and in every instance where the entire fami? ly was absent from the house. Either secure the fastenings and approaches to dwellings, or leave some one to guard the premises. There are so many idle persons prowling around that the utmost prudence ought to be exercised in this respect, and for fear that such attempts may be made in the night, evcrv one ought to be prepared to give them a warm reception with powder and ball. THE CABSWELI INSTITUTE. It is definitely announced that this in? stitution of learning will be open for the admission of students on the fourteenth of February, at which time its opening exercises will take place. We learn that it is the earnest desire df those in chargo of the Institute that all students for tho session shall enter at once, and in no event omit to enter within two weeks from tho opening. The principal, Rev. E. R. Carswell, isagentleman of culture, education and ability, and deserves much success in his efforts to elevate the stan? dard of education in our County. A NOT SEK BOBBER Y. A daring robbery was perpetrated in our midst on Sunday last, which should prove a warning to persons living on the outskirts of town especially. The premises of Mrs. G. Brown, who lives on the Rocky River road, just beyond the corporation limits, was the scene of the robbbery, which for boldness and daring is unequalled in the history of our community. Mrs. Brown and her three sons left the house between ten and half past ten o'clock on Sunday morning, and one of the young men returned about one o'clock, when he made the discovery that -the rooms had been pillaged, but was unable to fix upon the extent of the robbery. Trunks were open, and their contents thrown about the rooms, and there was every evidence that the house had been plundered. When other members of the family arrived, it was entertained that the principal loss consisted in the sum of fifty three dollars, which was taken from a pocket book belonging to Mr. Feaster Brown in one of the trunks. The house was entered from the rear, and the thief escaped by the front, in both instances taking out a window sash to accomplish his purpose. The sash were carefully set aside by him, aud were not broken. When it is remembered that Mr>. Brown's residence is within a short distance of a ro.'.d much frequented, and that thin robbery took place between eleven and twdve o'clock in broad daylight, the bold? ness of the villain becomes apparent. Suspicion rested upon a colored man named Toney Jennings, and he was arrested on Suuday afternoon, but stoutly denied his guilt. The evidence against him is mainly circumstantial, but a couple of negro boys (th'j eldest about ten years of age) assert that they saw him come out of the house through the front window, and that he threatened to kill them in case they told about seeing him on the place. He was taken before Trial Justice Hammond, and after a preliminary examination was committed to jail to an? swer the charge at the ensuing term of Court. Toney is an old offender against the laws, and was tried some years ago for placing obstructions upon the Blue Ridge Railroad. He has always been considered ligbt-fingered, we believe, and no one who knew him will be surprised at the accusa? tion in this instance. THE CIRCUIT COURT. Judge Cooke requests us to announce thai; important business renders it im? possible for him to begin the February terra of our Court before Wednesday morning, the 9th day of Feburary next No witnesses, jurors, nor parties haying bus iness in Court, need attend until that day. The Judge's absence for the first two days is necessary and unavoidable, and he takes this opportunity to make it known in order that no inconvenience nor unnecessary expense need be in? curred in consequence of his non-attend? ance on Monday and Tuesday. AU par? ties who have to attend the Court in any capacity should be present at 10 o'clock on Wednesday, for when the Judge be? gins he will no doubt transact all busi? ness before the Court with promptness. TOWN MEETING. The citizens of the town of Anderson met in Masonic Hall on last Friday night, pur? suant to a call which had been numerously signed for a meeting, to form a Democratic Club. The meeting, which was well atten? ded, was called to order by Maj. John B. Moore, upon whose nomination Hon. J. S. Murray was called to the Chair for the pur? pose of organizing the Club. Upon taking the chair Mr. Murray delivered an earnest and well-timed address, the synopsis of which we have been requested to publiish, in compliance with which request we gi ve our readers the following outline of the speaker's remarks: FrLLOW-CmzE58 : The duties of the Chair to which your partiality has called me was wholly unexpected, yet I am not unin? formed as to the objects of this meeting. The State of South Carolina, from the sea? board to the mountain-tops, is aroused by the occurrence of events of the most pro? found importance to us and our posterity. The time for action has now arrived, and it is our duty, calmly, deliberately and fear? lessly, to consider the political state of affairs in South Carolina; to advise means to reme? dy the evils which enthrall us, and having determined on those means never to retraco one step nor cease our exertions until the thieves and robbers, who, since 1868, have plundered and bankrupted the State, are driven from power, and the honesty and in? telligence of the State control its govern? ment. The true issue that is now upon us can noJonger be concealed. It is worse than folly to attempt to do so, and I would have everv man in whose bosom burns one spark of philanthropy or pa triotism to understand that the true issue now is, shall South. Caro? lina henceforth be governed by ignorant ne? groes and unprincipled white men, who are alike false to their race and to the negro; or, by the whites, whose ancestors, by their blood, purchased it for them, and bequeath? ed it to them as their fair inheritance. This is the issue; there is and can be no neutrali? ty. He who does not now identify himself with the whites in their efforts to restore an honest government is allied with the ne? groes, and must be numbered as one of their party. There can be no such thing as con? servatism in the present condition of affairs, and when we reflect that the contest is be? tween honesty and dishonesty, intelligence and ignorance, the term becomes a nonde? script mongrelism. There are no indepen? dents, and wherever this name is used it is assumed to concentrate the negro vote as a unit and divide the white vote, and when analysed means independent of the whites and blacks, caring only for self. When the mother country, one hundred yean ago, levied an insignificant tax on tea imported into the colonies, involving only a few hun? dred dollars, without giving them represen? tation in the body which imposed the tax, there was a firm resolve, we will not pav the tax, but destroy the tea; and destroy it they did, and there arose the universal'cry throughout the thirteen colonies, "Give us liberty or give us death," and by united de? termined effort they achieved their liberty, the t?oon of which has been enjoyed for the lost one hundred years. For the last eight years strangers to our soil and thieves have seized the government of South Carolina, held high carnivals of ignorance in the halls of legislation, enacted millions of dollars frort, a poor, hardworking and oppressed people that they might roU in luxury, and now seek to make the government as black in ir.famy and color IS .hat of Hay t i, and by domination and oppression drive from the State all property hoi ders. This they cannot do. The calm and enlightened sentiment of the people of the United States demand that this infamous government shall be over? thrown, and it demands that the p-ople of the State shall do it. and that Feder., bayo? nets shall not interfere to impose a vile and corrapt government on the people of this State, and now the heroic spirit of 1776 has reanimated the hearts of the people, and one voice is heard in every part of the State, calm but firm and resolute, give me back my government?mine by every r -ht known to man?or give me death. This miserable Kovernment of fraud and corrup? tion cannot be longer tolerated, the measure of its iniquity is full, and public sentiment demands a change. The true, the good, the brave, the patriotic sons of Carolina should organize Democratic Clubs in every Town? ship in the State, ignoring all minor differ? ences, that they may stand shoulder to shoulder from the sea to the mountains, that they may rescue the patrimony bequeathed them by their ancestors from the thieves, robbers and venal strangers, who have in? truded into it and usurped the place of its lawful possessors, and the man who now fails in his duty is a traitor to his country, his race and to posterity. We must all now be united; the voice of the majority of our good citizens must be the voice of all. We must have our nominations and every man support the nominee. Independent "candi? dates most he ignored, and every man go with his party for the sake of his country. Let the white people of South Carolina be united and the victory is won, for truth and virtue and intelligence arc mightier than the sword. Let me say calmly but firmly, we cannot afford to be defeated in the next elec? tion, and we do not mean to be. We have tried to avert their issue, but it is, without our choice, forced upon us, and we either have to submit to the rule of a Haytian gov? ernment in South Carolina or unite all the be-'.t elements in our State in an organization pledged to rescue our State from its plunder? ers at any hazard. If we have the spirit of liberty and honor which actuated our patriot fathers in 1776 we will save our honor, res? cue our State, and transmit it the same pre? cious and glorious birthright to our posteri? ty, which has been left us by our noble an? cestors. Men of Carolina have never been wanting in any emergency. They will prove themselves equal to their present trialE, and the time has at last arrived for them to work out the redemption of this State. It can?it will be done. At the conclusion of tho speech Mr. A. J. Watt was, upon motion of Maj. Moor:, re? quested to act as Secretary, and the Chair announced the meeting ready for busi ness. Upon motion of E. B. Murray a committee of five was appointed to draft a constitution for the Club, and directed to report immedi? ately upon the permanent officers of the Club. Messrs. E. B. Murray, John B. Moore, B. P. Crayton, Dr. R. F. Divver and R. E. Belcher were appointed, and apon their report the following officers were agreed upon for permanent organization, viz: A President, Vice-President, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary and an Executive Committee of five members. The election of officers was then proceeded with, and E. B. Murray, in a short speech, nomi? nated lor President Mr. A. J. Watt, which nomination was received with enthusiasm, and Mr. Watt was unanimously elected. Mr. Hoyt nominated for Vice-President Mr. N. K. Sullivan, who was also unanimously elected. Dr. W. G. Brown nominated Mr. John L. Williams for Recording Secretaiy and Mr. J. L. Tribble nominated Mr. F,. L. Moorhead for Corresponding Secretary, each of whom were unanimously elected. Upon motion of Prof. W. J. Ligon, the President was authorized to appoint the Executive Committee at his leisure. Mr. Murray then made a few appro? priate remarks and introduced Mr. A. J. Watt, the permanent President, to the audi? ence. Mr. Watt made a short, eloquent and patriotic speech, in which he declared the day of coalition was past, and the only re? demption for our State lay in a determined and united effort to rescue our government from the hands of the thieves who now con? trol it. Upon motion the meeting adjourn? ed to Friday night, the 4th of February, at 7} o'clock, at which time the report of the committee on constitution will be had. The meeting was exceedingly harmonious, and evinced great interest and determination in the cause. There was no shadow of a spirit o-" compromise displayed in it. There are about one hundred names upon the roll of the Club, and it is confidently expected to have a much larger number by the next meeting. TOWNSHIP MEETINGS. According to previous announcement the citizens of Belton Township met at Belton, January 22nd, 1876, in Stringer's Hall, to organize a Democratic Club. The meet? ing was called to order by Mr. G. W. Mcfiee, and on motion Dr. W. C. Brown was called to the Chair as temporary Chair? man and James W. Toon was requested to act as Secretary. The Chairman in a few brief and eloquent remarks stated the object of the meeting, and declared the meeling ready for business, when some thirty or forty persons came forward and enrolled their names as members. The next business in order was the election of permanent offi? cers, which resulted in the choice of Dr. W. C. Brown as President; G. W. McGee, G, W. Cox and M. Breazeale, Vice-Presidents; James W.

Garvin Township always votes with great unamity for the Deniocrati; ticket, and we have no doubt that it will make a clean record at the next election. Ftr the Anderson Ir.'*%igencer. Messrs. Editors: In the Abbeville Press and Banner of the 19th instant, I notice a long article commenting unfair? ly and unjustly upon my connection with the arrest of Daniel Cumiskey, which was made in Abbeville last week upon the charge of embezzling funds of the Singer Manufacturing Company.? Asking your indulgence, I wish to make a fow statements in vindication of.my course, and your readers can judge for themselves of my conduct. About the 13th inst. I received a telegram directing me to proceed at once to Abbeville, and receive all property belonging to the Singer Manufacturing Company in the hands of Cumiskey. On the morning of the 14th I arrived in Abbeville, and made known my business to Cumiskey, who made statements to me which were con? tradicted by information received from the Company that evening, giving a statement of the number of machines in his hands and of the notes he held for collection, of which notes some were missing, and there were unaccounted for credits upon others, aggregating the sum of $380. I had received the foUowing letter from the Company after my arrival in Abbeville: Charleston, Jan. 13,1876. Mr. John H. Clarke, Agent Abbeville: Dear Sir?If Cumiskey has appropri? ated any of our funds and does not ac? count for it on demand, - have him arres? ted for embezzlement. Singer Sewing jiaokine Co., J. C. Bedell, Agent. Upon this, I telegraphed them that Cumiskey claimed he had accounted for the missing sums, and they replied that he should have all that the papers called for. I then consulted an eminent lawyer, who gave me a written opinion upon the law, in conformity to which I made an affidavit, setting forth the facts of the case, and stating my belief that he had apprcpriated the money with intent to defraud the Company. Upon this affida? vit Cumiskey was arrested. The Press and Banner thinks it strange that I should have made this affidavit. In re? ply I shall only state that the editor may not know quite as much about this mat? ter a3 he thinks he does. There were strong evidences of fraud which will ap? pear upon the trial, but which I did not then propose to publish to the world. In his re marks upon this branch of the sub? ject, I can only say that he has trans? cended either his duty or privilege as a public journalist in essaying to act as both judge and jury upon the case in question. As to the assertion that no one in Abbeville believes that Cumis key's intention was fraudulent, I can only say that the editor is endeavoring to work up a public sentiment in favor of tho prisoner, for uo one who knows the facts of the case can blame my course. Thoso who do not know them have no right to an opinion about the matter. Then he seeks to convey the impression that I acted as I did to securo Cumiskey's place, which is entirely gratuitous and without foundation, for 1 had been ap pointed to reliove him of his placo before I went to Abbeville, and was not actua? ted either directly or indirectly by tbo consideration intimated by tho Press and Banner. I had a duty to perform to tho Company, and did it to the best of my knowledge and ability. The remark that I thought a torm in the penitentiary would do Cumiskey good was made pri? vately to the editor, and was the expres? sion of the opinion I should entertain of any man guilty of tho offenco with which Cumiskey's is charged. In conclusion, I wish to state that tho conduct of the Press and Banner is most remarkable in that it seeks in advance of judicial investigation to decide this case, and in order to influence public opinion endeavors to induce the belief that it is taking up for a poor and friend? less man who is being grossly wronged. Tho only apology given for Cumiskey is, that he is morally too weak to resist temptation. This is rather insufficient it strikes nie, and if the Press and Banner can see no difference between the offence it admits Cumiskey has committed and the ordinary indebtedness of our people, thon I must say that its views of morali? ty and honor are certainly such as to un? fit it for the duty of educating the public. The editor's remarks about me are un? founded in fact, unwarranted by the cir? cumstances of the case, and can only be viewed as a pioco of meddlesome inter? ference with matters with which he was not concerned. The editor admits that the facts wefo different from whatthe thought at the time he wrote, and I would suggest to him in future to in? form himself upon any subject about which he proposes to writo before doing so.
