Mr. Strother Freeman, a strong and vigo? rous man, who had ploughed all day on Saturday, and was in good health, was found dead on Sunday morning last. His wife got up in the nioming to get breakfast and noticed him turn over in bed, showing - that he h? i life at that time; but when she called him to breakfast found that he was dead. He made no noise, and there is noth? ing to show that he was in any pain, or that he was at all conscious of his approaching ?end. He resided on the place formerly owned by Mr. J. B. Simpson, four miles south of this place, and was about fifty-five or sixty years old. The cause of his death is a mystery which will probably never be known. ? SERIOUS ACCIDENT. On last Saturday morning, Mr. Andrew H. Osborne met with a serious accident while engaged in fixing a portion of the machinery of the grist mill of Osborne & McCnlly, which was in motion at the time. A bolt upon one of the pieces of horizontal shafting caught bis clothes, literally tearing them off, and winding him around the shaft? ing, which he had the presence of mind to hold on to, by which he was able to save his life. The force with which he was struck by the different pieces of the machinery was very great, and he was bruised very badly, bis right shoulder and left knee being dislo? cated. Fortunately, the engine was stopped immediately, and the burr wheels of the mill were thrown close together, so that the machinery was stopped as quickly as possi? ble. The escape from death was almost miraculous. Mr. Osborne received prompt and efficient surgical aid, and his dislocated joints were replaced, and his other wounds attended to. He has suffered greatly from the pain of the dislocations and his bruises, but we are glad to learn that he is improv? ing, and we trust that he will speedily re? cover from his injuries and be out again. WULTAKSTOH DEMOCRATIC CLUB. The Williamston Democratic Club met, according to previous appointment, on Sat? urday, 19th of February, with Dr. B. F. Brown acting as chairman, iu the absence of the President, Dr. John Wilson. On mo? tion, the constitution adopted by the Ander? son Democratic Club was agreed to, after which a rally was made for signatures, and it was ascertained that one hundred and thirty-two names had been enrolled, r On motion of Dr. H. L Epting, the follow? ing resolution was adopted: Resolved, That weHhink it unwise and im? politic to make any effort at coalition with the Republican party, as it would only re? sult in the total destruction of the Democ? racy of our State, and that we regret that our sister comity, Greenville, has created confusion among her citizens by adopting resolutions to unite with the Republican party, and that we hope an effort will again be made to unite the Democratic party of that county with the true principles of 1776. That we will oppose Radical proclivities, car? pet-bay oppression and burdensome taxation. On motion of Hugh Mahaffey, Esq., it was ordered that the next meeting take place at Richardson's Mill on Saturday next, 4th of March, when it is hoped there will be a full attendance of members. The Wil liamston Club manifests pluck and spirit of | the right kind, and will make a good record in the coming campaign. A LEAP TEAR PASTY. On last Tuesday evening, the 29th of Feb? ruary, which was leap year day, the young ladies of Anderson availed themselves of | their traditional license, and celebrated the occasion by a leap year party, which was the first event of the kind ever enjoyed in Anderson. The ordinary rules of etiquette were reversed, and the ladies became the actors throughout the entire programme^of | the party from its Yery inception to its close. It was given at the residence of Mr. Daniel Brown, and on Tuesday morning the mis? sives freighted with invitations from young ladies to gentlemen were flying throughout the town, asking for companions to the par? ty, partners for dances, promenades, &c. At the appointed time, the ladies came in, bringing the gentlemen assigned them, and the transposition of the usual order of things was complete, except, perhaps, the fair ones succeeded in imitating the gentlemen better than the gentleman could the lady, though, considering the fact that they were each novices in their new role, we must say that both parties played their assumed parts with an ease which was indeed surprising. The ladies on this occasion set the gentlemen an example of politeness in making their at? tentions very general, which it would be well for them to remember, as it relieved the evening of any appearance of stiffness, and made all present enjoy themselves. There was an elegant supper prepared for the occasion, and.the ladies served it out t3 the young men j most gracefully, and of j course their efforts to supply their charges with an abundant repast were appreciated in the highest degree by the gentlemen, who testified to this fact in a substantial manner. After they finished, the ladies returned to the table for their supper, but could not have taken the gentleman's part in this in? stance very well, as their return to the par? lor was very speedy. The merriment of the evening was continued to a late hour, and the occasion will be one long remembered in Anderson. The ladies say all the gentle? men enjoyed it, except those who were "wall-flowers" for lack of attention ; and as none of the gentlemen are willing to admit, they were in that situation, we find them vieing with one another in according praise and compliments to the ladies for the skill and success with which they conducted the whole affair. DEATH OF HR. JAMES STEELE. From the Cherokee Georgian, February 23,1876. After a protracted illness, which he bore with great patience and resignation, Mr. James Steele departed this life on the 19th instant, in the 74th year of his age. He was born in Pendleton District, South Carolina, and removed to Cherokee county in 1861. Here he resided until his death. Mr. Steele was a man of strong, practical sense, a great reader, a close observer of passing events, a good judge of men, modest and retiring in his disposition, honest and sincere in his in? tercourse with his fellow-men, sociable and hospitable at home, strongly attached to his personal friends, and devoted to the welfare of his family. He was twice married, and leaves by his first wife four sons and two daughters, and one son by his last wife who survives him. He lived to see his children all settled in life, in easy and comfortable circumstances, and useful members of so CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT IS SUE. The present board of County Commission? ers have done some \ery substantial and ex? cellent work in the way of building bridges within the past few months, which has called forth the commendation of our citi? zens throughout the County. The new bridge over Rocky River, two miles south? east of this place, is the best one that has ever been there, and is of the most perma? nent nature. The bridge rests upon rock piers, and the wood work has been done in the best workmanlike manner, so that it may be counted on to remain secure and firm for years to come, without any further trouble or expense to the County. The new bridge over Saluda River, at the point where Cooley'8 old bridge stood, is a much longer, larger and better bridge in every respect. It is 300 feet long, rests on three rock piers, and is thoroughly covered with an excellent shingle roof. In addition to these bridges the Commissioners have been improving the style of bridges throughout the County. The Commissioners have had some very heavy expenses since they came into office, which compelled the levy of 7-10 of a mill additional tax this year, but the people can? not complain at their management when it is known that they have had to pay a large number of school claims which the law did not require former Commissioners to pay; that they have had to pay $2,500 for Earle's bridge, besides about $500 for repairing it; that they had to pay from $2000 to $3000 ex? penses of this County in the trial of the Ger? man, Henry Seegar, at Greenville, for mur? der; and the heavy expenses of ihese excel? lent new bridges in addition. The citizens of the County sustain the Commissioners in this work, knowing that the substantial structures they are now rearing will be en? joyed for many years without further ex? pense. BRIEF MENTION. We ere indebted to Mr. J. Willet Prevost for late Richmond and Baltimore news? papers. Seeing is not always believing, for there are many men you can see well enough and cannot believe at all. Nothing personal, gentlemen. Business men desiring to make a good in? vestment as a panacea for hard times are in? vited to consult the proprietors of the An? derson IiUcUigauxr. The Democratic Club in Garvin Township holds its regular meetings at 2 o'clock p. m. on the second Saturday in each month at Bethany school-house. This day is the centennial anniversary of the commencement of the seige of Boston, which was an important event in its results to the American people. A daughter of Mr. John Carwile died on Friday last, at the residence of the late A. O. Norris, deceased, at the age of eleven years, from an attack of pneumonia. The word "other" was inadvertantly omit? ted before the word Protestant in the last sentence of the article on the season of Lent in last week's issue of the Intelligencer. William Massey, a son of Mr. Duff Mas sey, died on last Tuesday night of membra? nous croup. He was about fifteen years of age, and has been subject to attacks of croup for some time past. Rev. J. B. Hartwell, formerly a mission? ary of the Southern Baptist Convention to China, will preach in the Baptist Church at this place on next Sabbath morning and evening. He is a pleasant speaker, and will no doubt interest his hearers on that occa? sion. We are requested to announce that the citizens o:f Slabtown and vicinity will hold a meeting at Slabtown Academy on Satur? day, 11th of March, at 2 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of organizing a Democratic Club, and a large attendance is earnestly solicited. We would call atteution to the advertise? ment of Mr. A. L. Welch. The pump he is selling has the highest recommendations from parties who have used it. Mr. Welch is a practical mechanic and will take orders and put these pumps in for those purchasing in the very best style. Col. J. C. Haynie showed us an aquatic fowl of the Coot variety, of the genus Fulcia, on last Tuesday. It is a fowl rarely met with in this portion of the country. His little son, James L. Orr Haynie, while fishing in his father's mill pond, saw it, and after a long race succeeded in catching it. We regret to announce that we are unable to furnish back numbers of the Intelligencer, containing the chapters already published of "Berkley Hall." So great has been the de? mand upon us for back numbers that all surplus copies have been exhausted, and we make this announcement in answer to nu? merous inquiries lately received. The Flat Rock Democratic Club held its regular meeting on Saturday last, and ob? tain^ 1 a large accession to its membership. Messrs. Wm. G. Watson, P. A. Masters, J. C. Haynie, Samuel Hall and Grief T?te were chosen as the Executive Committee of the Club. Speakers have been invited to attend the next meeting, which occurs on Saturday, 25th inst. Our fidr correspondent from Florida places us under many obligations for the piquant and interesting letter which appears in an? other column. The next letter will doscribe the country along the far-famed St. John's River, and give an insight into the beauty and magnificence of the scenery which ren? ders that region so attractive to tourists and pleasure-seekers. There is soon to be an art entertainment given in Anderson, at which those present can see phantasmagoric views of the most celebrated landscape and city views of the world. In addition, famous representations of works of art will be given. This class of entertainment is especially improving to the young, and is interesting to all. Further announcement of time, place, &c, will be given. The Democratic Club of Anderson meets in the Masonic Hall on next Friday evening at half-post seven o'clock. This Hall has been secured by the Executive Committee of the Club as the regular place of meeting during the campaign. It is important for all the members to be present, together with any person who wishes to join. All citizens desiring to reform our government should unite with this or some other Democratic Club. Rev. J. S. Murray requests us to state that he now has forty per cent, of the money due the managers of the last general election in this County. This is all that the State Treasurer gives any assurance will be paid at any time soon, so those to whom it is due had as well come and get it. The managers in some of the Republican counties have been paid in full, but it seems that these are the only ones the Treasurer can get money to pay. We will shortly be prepared to print bill heads, letter and note heads, monthly state? ments, wedding, visiting and business cards, envelopes, ?v.c. Our facilities for this kind of work will be increased by the addition "of a first-class Job Press, and wc propose to execute work which will compare favorably in style and prices with any printing estab? lishment in the State. Merchants and busi? ness men are invited to give us a triul before taking their patronage away from home. A gentleman living within a few miles of Anderson informs us that all the colored men who were under verbal contract to work on his farm this year left him, and assign as their reason that they do not Intend to work for any man who belongs to a Democratic Club. This is rather a queer proceeding, and it seems to us that It is equally as proper for the employer to rofuse to hire Republi? cans. Laborers can scarcoly afford to make this issue, but when it Is made, the Demo? crats should prepare to meet it by returning it. On last Sunday night some person at? tempted to shoot into the house of Julius C. Thomas, a respectable colored man living near town. A load of buck shot was lodged in the window facing, and the villain snapped his gun after shooting. The rascal was driven off by one of Thomas' sons, who was up stairs. Thomas is a colored man who stands well in this community, and no cause can be assigned for this dastardly at? tempt to take his life. He is a peaceable and unoffending citizen, who is thought well of by the white people of our town, and if he has enemies at all it is among those of the col? ored people, who are inimical to his advo? cacy ef order and good behavior. Of all the complaints made against news? papers, the strangest is that they have "too many advertisements." One-third of the valuable news, in a local newspaper, is gen? erally found in its advertising columns, which are indicative of the thrift, energy and prosperity of any people. Besides, the subscriber is often enabled to save or make ten times the subscription price of the paper by acting upon suggestions contained in ad? vertisements. The only time when sub? scribers can rightfully complain in this re? gard is when publishers keep standing in their columns such advertisements as are not paying. "We propose always to furnish a plenty of reading matter, and find space for all the live advertisements we can get. Mr. Wni. D. Garrison, living near Sandy Springs, has raised this season some very fine pigs of the Berkshire breed. These pigs (four in number) were found on the 29th of May, 1875, and the mother was fed twice per day on corn, and occasionally on the slops of the kitchen, mixed with wheat bran. At two months old thepigs were fed separately, with slops mixed as above, and were weaned at three months, when they were fed with an abundance of corn each day, and kept up in a small lot until the 27th of December, at which time they were put in a small pen to fatten, and fed well on boiled turnips mixed with meal until the 30th of January, when they were killed, being eight months old? the four weighing 736 pounds, or an average of 184 pounds. It is with sadness that we record the death of Wm. C. Lee, Esq., of Walhalla, which occurred on Sunday, 20th inst., after a long illness, in the 68th year of his age. Mr. Lee was a native of Charleston, and at an early age settled in the up-country, residing for the greater part of his life in Anderson and Oconee counties. He married Miss Kiturah H., the youngest daughter of Maj. David Humphreys, and sister of the late Rev. Da? vid Humphreys. He lived for a number of years at Sloan's Ferry on the Seneca River, and was greatly esteemed by his neighbors. Mr. Lee was an upright, honorable citizen, and sustained a good name in every relation of life. His remains were carried to Bachc elor's Retreat for interment, where he has some children buried. He was the father of our esteemed friend, Mr. Wm. Lee, a prom? inent merchant at Honea Path. HYMENEAL. MARRIED, at the residence of Thos. J. Adams, Esq., in Edgefield, on Wednesday, 16th of February, 1876, by Rev. Luther Broaddus, Col. JOHN PETER PHILLIPS, of Ninety Six, and Miss KARA ADAMS, of Edgefield. MARKETS. Anderson, March 1,1876.

This highly favored country is about to celebrate its hundredth birthday. Under its favored privileges, its citizen0 have been happy ; worshiping God ace.. aing to the dictates of their own consciences; pursuing their chosen avocations unmolested; grow? ing rich and prosperous. Some have attain? ed the most exalted positions from the smallest beginnings. This is particularly applicable to Dr. Tdtt's Liver Pills. Ten years ago they had but a limited local repu? tation, but in this time, aided by scientific research and conscientious business direc? tion, they have attained such a celebrity that there is not a country on the globe that they are not known and used. Wherever disease prevails, especially such as result from torpid liver, dyspepsia, costiveness, sick headache, fever and ague, and they are eagerly sought for. Fire!!! A destructive fire occurred at Ninety-Six, S. C, December 21st, by which, four stores valued at $20,000 were burned. The spread ot the conflagration, with probable destruc? tion of the whole town and loss of several hundred thousand dollars worth of proper? ty, and many lives, was prevented by the arrival of a great American Fire Extinguish? er, an Agent happening to come in town at the nick of time. For full particulars, see the Abbeville Medium and Newberry Her? ald of the following week. Mr. P. P. Toale of Charleston, S. C. is the General Southern Agent for the Great Amer? ican Fire Extinguisher, and will answer all inquries in regard to the same. Remember This. Now is the time of the year for Pneumo? nia, Lung Fever, Coughs, Colds, and fatal results of predisposition to Consumption and other Throat and Lung Disease. Bos chee'b German Syrup has been used in this neighborhood for the past two or three years without a single failure to cure. If you have not used this medicine yourself, go* to vour Druggist, Wilhite & Williams, and ask him of its wonderful success among his cus? tomers. Two doses will relieve the worst case. If you have no faith in any medicine, just buy ? Sample Bottle of Boschee's Ger? man Syrup for 10 cents and try it. Regular size Bottle 75 cents. Don't neglect a cough to save 75 cents. AUCTION SALE!

Such is fur .?N nished by the DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP, Manufactured by J. C. Nichols & Uro., Atlanta, Ga., which brings the water pure and fresh from the bottom of the well. No slime or tilth collects on the pump or in the well. No snails, worms or green moss gets about the water. It is free from rust or other impurities, and can be operated by a small child with case, and brings the water fresher than any oth? er Pump. It is of stone, glazed inside and outside, and never will decay. It improves the water beyond a doubt by ventilating the well, and keeping it like a moving stream of water. With a hose attached, it becomes a good fire-engine, ever ready at your door to extinguish the flames in case of fire. It is better and cheaper than insurance. Its work? ing gives complete satisfaction, as those acquainted with it will testify. It is a home enterprise, permanently established, and relies on its own merits, upon which it asks your patronage. This Pump is represented in Anderson and adjoining Counties, together with the Counties of Hart and Elbert in Georgia, by AXjO?TZO Xj. welch, Anderson C- H., S. C. Send in orders at once for Pumps, and they will be delivered and put in immediately. He means business.
