THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. BRIEF MENTION. March goeth oat like a lion this time. The wind was exceedingly high on Tues? day night. The, Republican County Convention meets on Saturday. 8th of April. The Pomona Grange, Patrons of Hus? bandry, holds its quarterly meeting on Sat? urday next, 1st of April. ? fall attendance of members is earnestly requested. The Smith family are doubtless of modern origin. We read in the Bible, in the thir? teenth chapter of 1st Samuel, 19th verse, that "there was no Smith found throughout all the land of Israel." We are requested to announce that the Democratic Club of Hall township will meet a; the Cars well Institute on next Saturday at 2 o'clock p. m. Every citizen of the township is earnestly urged to attend this raeeting promptly, as it will have important business before it. In arguing a case the other day, one of our promising young lawyers declared that it was the duty of every citizen to take the Anderson IntdKpmcer, and cited the testi? mony adduced upon the trial to prove that money was made and saved by subscribing for this paper. He is not connected with journalism, either, and we thank him for this sensible expression. The young ladies who have been counting gray horses are warned not to allow gray r: ules'to enter into their computation of the hundred, for if they do they may expect their future husbands to be mulish. This would be a great misfortune, so they had hotter exercise a little patience and wait until they secure the hundred horses before tray count the hand-shaking. In an article several weeks ago, entitled "Credit t6"whom credit is dae," It was stated tl .at the County Commissioners have had to pay a large number of school claims which the law did not require former Commis? sioners to pay. We. are informed that this is i\ mistake, and that the County Commis? si oners do not pay any school claims out of the County funds. As we do not wish to giive more credit than is due, the correction is made most cheerfully, .as an act of justice to all concerned, The Democratic Club ofYarennes Town? ship met at Flat Rock on last Saturday morning, and was addressed by Messrs. E. B Murray and John B. Moore, upon the the issues before the clubs of this County. A3er the addresses the Club decided the question as to the mode of conducting the nomination of candidates in this County in fa v or of the plan of a primary election. The citizens of thi^ township are aroused in the inr jres't of the Democracy, and it is expected that the membership of the Club will be greatly increased in a very short time. This is the twenty-sixth anniversary of the death of South Carolina's greatest states? man, John C. Calhoun, who resided near Pendleton in -this County. Mr. Calhoun died on the 30th of March, 1850, and up to this time no monument has been erected to fitly commemorate his services to his State and country. The ladies of South Carolina ar<; making efforts to raise a fund to rear a handsome monument to the memory of thin pure and unselfish patriot, whose life sheds a bright lustre' over the history of Carolina, and it is hoped that the under? taking will soon be consummated. ('apt, Benson requests us to announce thet there is no money from which to pay tht school claims in this County, and that therefore he cannot sign the claims of the te&i&enT at"present. The statement pub? lished by him last week is the amount which is due, but the Superintendent of Educa? tion has to draw his warrant upon the Treasurer for this sum, and when it is paid over to the County Treasurer the claims of the teachers will be paid. This should be doae very soon, but money has a way of sticking when it reaches Columbia, and it is difficult to*say when it will be forthcoming. The ladies claim that patriotism induces thorn to indulge in extravagant costumes, for they say that the importation tax on the fordgn dressing which they wear aids very me^erially in supporting the national gov? ernment and in assisting to pay off the national debt. Of coarse it would not be patriotic for them to consult individual in? terests which conflict with those of the gov errment, for if they did the financial crisis woald be felt by the government as well as the people. After this ingenious plea we thi k ladies should be allowed to dress as they please without so much comment from the men. The Democratic Club of Rock Mills Town? ship met. on last Saturday afternoon at Providence Camp Ground, and were ad? dressed by Mr. E. B. Murray. The Club the? proceeded to elect delegates to the Coirtty Convention, to be held on the 15th of April, with the following result: Messrs. T. IL-Anderson and J. T. Cook, delegates; Tapley Anderson and B. F. Shirley, altern? ates. This Club also decided in favor of the primary election plan for nominating candi? date for the Democratic party of this County in the coming election. Much interest is manifested in this movement by the best citizens in this section, and it is belived that in a very short time every white man in the township with two or three exceptions will be members of the Club, which already numbers over fifty. The Belton Democratic Club met at Belton pursuant to adjournment on the 11th inst. The meeting was well attended and inter? esting. On motion, it was agreed that, in ordet to make the meeting more interesting and attractive, invitations be extended to Messrs. James A. Hoyt, E. B. Murray and John B. Moore, of Anderson, and Dr. H. I. Eptir.g, of Williamston, to be present and address the Club. It was also agreed that the hour of meeting be changed to two o'clock p. ra., instead of four o'clock, and the Secretary was requested to inform those invited to address the meeting of the action of the Clnb, and request them to be present on Saturday, 8th of April, at two o'clock p. rr.. Citizens of the township and com? munity who are favorable to the cause are respectfully invited. A called meeting of the Williamston Township Democratic Clab was held on Satunlay last, 25th inst., Dr. John Wilson in the chair and Dr. W. A. McCorkle, Secre? tary. The roll of members having been called, numbering in the aggregate one hun? dred and fifty-five names, the object of the meeting was explained to nominate and elect delegates to the County Democratic Convention, which will convene at An? derson C. H. on the 15th of April next. It was moved by W. A. McCorkle that six delegates be elected by acclamation, which motion was adopted, when the following names* were proposed and unanimously chosen to represent the Club, viz: Col. John D. King, Dr. John Wilson, N. C. Dacus, Hugh Mahaffey, Capt. W. K. Clement and Dr. H. I. Epting, delegates; J. D. Rogers, J. R. Wilson, B. F. Brown, W. F. Owens, Wistar W. Wilson and L. P. Cox, alternates. The meeting, after some discussion, unani? mously adopted the system of primary elec? tions as the most suitable to nominate can? didates in the approaching campaign. The Club adjourned to meet again on the third Saturday in April next. RAILS0AD FREIGHTS AGAIN. Our article npon the subject of discrimi? nations in freights, which was published last week, has been misconstrued by some persons connected with the Grange in this county; and we regret to learn that Borne person or persons have been industriously misrepresenting our position in regard to the question of reduction in freights. If our readers will trouble themselves to re? read the said article they will doubtless per? ceive that it will not sustain the construc? tion which some have made haste to place upon it. All that we desire is to be under? stood according to "what we plainly said, and then we shall be satisfied, for if parties choose to differ from us they have the right to do so, provided they do not take it upon themselves to misrepresent and traduce our clear and unmistakable language. In our articles we endeavor to say precisely what we mean, and do not intend to allow other persons to state our position in such a man? ner as to place us in a false light before the community without branding such misrep? resentations as slanderous. It has been said by some that we are fighting the Grange. In reply, we challenge a single word of ours that will bear out this unwarranted asser? tion. We said we were glad that the Grange obtained the reduction they did on their freights, and we commend them in the highest degree for the energy and enterprise they have evinced in this matter; but we think our other citizens should be protected from the extortion which has been practiced upon them by the South Carolina Railroad. It has heretofore claimed that it could not afford freights any cheaper, but by the re? duction made to the Grangers it has shown that it is able to carry freights a great deal cheaper, and all that we asked was that a reduction be made in every article transpor? ted for any person. We do not desire the rates of freight raised upon the Grangers, but we do want a reduction to the merchant and private individual. In this we do not antagonize the Grange, for a general reduc? tion in freights will benefit them as much I as any one. This reduction which has been obtained upon fertilizers is a very small item com pared with the exorbitant tariff that Grang- I era and every one else are compelled to pay upon every particle of goods or food they J buy. The consumers are the parties who pay the freights. It is not the merchant, j for he adds the freight on to the price of his goods, and the person who buys them has to pay the freight, whether he is a Granger or not. This is a question of vital impor tance to the people of Anderson County, I I and as a representative of public sentiment, I ! the Intelligencer felt called upon to cry out I ! against the evil which is oppressing Grang- I ers and every one else. Now, just here, we I would remind those who are ignobly seek- I ing to asperse our intentions in this matter, that the Intelligencer has always been, and still is favorable to the Grangers, because it has reason to believe that the Grange is a powerful opponent to monopolies, and hence is calculated to effect much good by breaking them down, and causes a reduction in values by lessening the number of middle men I engaged in trade. We have never looked upon the Grange as a selfish organization, which was seeking to establish for itself a I monopoly of cheap freights or any thing I else, and we do not believe there is a true Granger in the County who would object to I every other man having just as cheap I freights as the Grangers do. Our readers j must remember that there are a great many I farmers who do not belong to the Grange j that are entitled to some mercy at the hands I of a railroad. The Intelligencer is not the organ of any particular sect, but endeavors to advocate such a course as will benefit the whole County without injuring any class, and if there are any persons who complain of us for this reason, we have no apologies to make to them. But some persons say that we have inter- j fered with the prospects of the Grange by j censuring the course of the South Carolina Railroad towards our people. There is no foundation for this charge either, for the same argument can be used to induce a re? duction next time that secured it at present. I There is a through rate of freight from Bai- j timore and New York which enables per- j sons to purchase goods or fertilizers up there I and ship them through a little cheaper I than they can be bought and shipped from Charleston ; and in securing the reduction the Grangers simply said that if the reduc tion was not granted, they would purchase I in Baltimore, or elsewhere than Charleston, and hence their application was granted. They can repeat this whenever they please, j and it shows that the merchants, if they j will unite, can accomplish the same end for I themselves and the general public. The business men of Charleston are influential in the control of the South Carolina Rail road, and whenever there is a prospect that Charleston will lose trade from high freights, a reduction will be granted. This subject should be looked after by the merchants of the up-country, and if this ruinous policy I is pursued the merchants of Charleston should be shown that it is the source of a loss of trade to that city. There is no dif ference between the Grangers and the mer- j chants in this matter. It is a common fight against the oppression of the South Carolina Railroad, which has a monopoly of our j carrying trade. All our citizens should ] unite in a strong and determined effort to j secure a general reduction, which will be I beneficial to every man and every interest J in Anderson County. Does any one want to know why 196 J pounds was adopted as the legal net weight for a barrel of flour? Because weights were I computed by tons of 2,240 lbs., hundred weights of 112 lbs., quarters, etc., and a I "quarter" being one-quarter of a hundred J weight or 28 lbs. and 7 quarters, or 196 lbs. j being the limit that could be conveniently j and easily handled, this weight was adopted by statute under a heavy penalty for viola- I tion. An exchange tells its readers how "to J mind their p's" in the following paragraph: j "Persons who patronize papers should pay j promptly, for the pecuniary prospects of the press have a peculiar power in pushing for ward public prosperity. If the printer is paid promptly, and his pocketbook kept plethoric by prompt paying patrons, he puts I his pen to his paper in peace, his paragraphs I are more pointed, he paints his pictures of I passing events in more pleasing colors, and J the perusal of his paper is a pleasure to the people. Paste this piece of proverbial I philosophy in some place where all persons can perceive it." An exchange announces the latest inven tion to be an accelerating or retarding at? tachment by which the heads of families can I regulate the length of calls made by young I men upon their daughters. If the caller is acceptable they put on the retarding appa? ratus, which compounds with time at the rate of eighty minutes to the hour, so that j at one o'clock it strikes eleven and the visi? tor is not hurried off, but if he is not accept? able the accelerating attachment is put on and at a quarter of ten it strikes twelve. We do not see anything new about this, as the heads of most families have known for a long time that this result can be accom? plished by shortening or lengthening the pendulum. The former accelerates and the latter retards. Most young men believe this fraud is very generally practiced, as it is im? possible lor them to leave when calling until they hear the clock strike twelve, and, although their watches say ten, still it will not do for them to dispute the family clock, so they are compelled to withdraw, thinking that old clock needs regulating anew when in fact it was regulated for the occasion. I A GROUNDLESS BEPOBT. A day or two ago we were surprised to learn that a report was in circulation that measles were prevalent in Anderson, and that a patron of the Carolina Collegiate Institute had withdrawn a son on account of the existence of the contagion. We have taken occasion to investigate the truth of the report, and are glad to be able to con? tradict it. It had its origin in the fact that about two weeks ago a little child of a gen? tleman in town appeared to be slightly broken out in a manner resembling the die ease, and a boy boarding in the family left for home. It was, however, ascertained that it was no measles and the student has re? turned. Nothing further has been heard of it. There are no cases either in the school or the town, and there is no foundation whatever for the report beyond what we have stated above. We make this statement that the school, which is very prosperous, may not be injured, and thatptrents having children here may have no uneasiness on accountofthe report. The health of An? derson has been excellent, and there is neither epidemic, contagious nor local disease to be found about here. PRESBYTERY OF SOUTH CAB0LINA. The Presbytery of South Carolina will hold the regular semi-annual session in the Presbyterian church of Anderson, meeting on Wednesday evening, 5th of April, at 7ip. ra. This body is composed of ministers and ruling elders or delegates from the churches, the latter being what is sometimes called lay representatives, one from each church or pastorate of several churches. Their powers as rulers in the Presbytery are precisely those of the ministers. The territory covered by the Presbytery of South Carolina em? braces the counties of Anderson, Oconee, Pickens. Greenville, Abbeville, Laurens, I Newberry and Spartanburg. The usual at? tendance of the members of this body is from fifty to sixty persons?a full represen? tation, which is not usual, would make tl.j number considerably larger. The delibera? tions of the Presbytery are generally con? tinued through Thursday, Friday and Sat? urday, the meeting closing with religious exercises and the communion on the follow? ing Sabbath. The discussions of the body are all in open session, and all in the com? munity are at liberty to attend, and will re? ceive a cordial welcome. A good attendance of all the friends of religion every day during its session will be gratifying to the Pres? bytery, we have no doubt. The meeting will be opened on Wednesday night with a sermon from the last Moderator, Rev. T. C. Ligon, of Newberry. THE FORK DEMOCRATIC CLUB. In pursuance of a call made through the Anderson Intelligencer, the citizens of the Fork Township met at N. 0. Farmer's Store on Saturday last at two o'clock p. m., for the purpose of perfecting the organization of the Democratic Club. The attendance was estimated at between seventy-five and a hundred persons. Andrew Hunter, Esq., presided, and N. 0. Fanner acted as Secre? tary. The chairman introduced Capt. James A. Hoyt, who made a speech of some length in advocacy of an earnest, vigorous and ef? fective rally to the Democratic standard in the coming campaign. He was followed by Col. F. E. Harrison in a brief statement of his views, after which the meeting proceeded to organize more perfectly as a Democratic Club, in sympathy and harmony with the balance of the County. The constitution of the Anderson Democratic Club was adopted, with slight alterations. The foUowing offi? cers were elected: A. Hunter, President; F. E. Harrison and T. B. Palmer, Vice Pres? idents ; N. 0. Farmer, Secretary and Treas? urer. On motion, the President was author? ized to appoint the Executive Committee, which was subsequently announced as fol? lows: Capt. H. R. Vandiver, Capt. J. M. Kidd, Dr. W. L. Broyles, Henry N. White and R. A. Mathewson. The Club then went into an election for delegates to the County Convention, which resulted in the choice of the following gentlemen: N. 0. Fanner, J. P. Brown, D. L. Cox, and T. J. Dalrym ple, delegates; W. S. Hunter, W. L. Dob? bins, Dr. J. B. Brown and G. W. Maret, alternates. It was agreed that the regular meetings of the Club shall take place on the fourth Saturday in every month at N. 0. Farmer's Store. At the next meeting it is expected that the Club will discuss the ques? tion as to the best plan for nominating can? didates for office, whether by primary elec? tion or otherwise. The prospects for a strong membership in the Fork Democratic Club are very encouraging, more than one hun? dred being already enrolled. In any event, that section of country may be relied upon to present on united opposition to corrupt men and measures, while its voice will ever be found in favor of honest, faithful and correct government. Its zealous attachment to the principles of the Democracy will be amply demonstrated at the polls next No? vember. RAILROAD MEETING. The meeting of the citizens of Anderson to elect delegates to the Convention to as? semble here to-day in the interest of the Blue Ridge Railroad was held in the Court House on last Saturday night, and secured the attendance of a large number of the business men of our town. The meeting was called to order by Mr. P. K. McCully, upon whose motion Capt. W. S. Sharpe was called to the Chair and Mr. John B. Watson requested to act as Secretary. After brief remarks from the Chairman explanatory of the object of the meeting, Capt. J. A. Hoyt was called upon and made a short speech, setting forth the importance of the Conven? tion which is to meet here to-day, and the great advantages which the completion of the Blue Ridge Railroad would give to An? derson. After remarks from Messrs. S. Bleckley and A. B. Towers favoring the enterprise, Maj. W. W. Humphreys moved that fifteen delegates be appointed to attend the Convention. The motion was adopted, and the following gentlemen were appoin? ted: J. N. Brown, S. Bleckley, N. K. Sulli? van, J. S. Murray, Jacob Burriss, John B. Moore, J. A. Hoyt, W. G. Watson, W. W. Humphreys, 0. H. P. Fant, B. F. Crayton, E. A. Bell, John B. Watson, John W. Daniels, Stephen McCully. Messrs. W. S. Sharpe, E. M. Ruckcr and T. B. Lee were, upon motion, added to the delegation. Rev. J. S. Murray was next called upon, and responded in a speech favoring the en? terprise, and terming it a necessity for the town of Anderson. He showed the advan? tage it would be by breaking down the present monopoly in freights, which is so injurious to our people. He favored leasing the road by the Counties of Anderson and Oconee as the best means for securing low freights until it can be completed or pur? chased by these two Counties. After re? marks from Messrs. G. F. Tolly, John B. Moore and F. C. v. Borstel, upon motion of Maj. W. W. Humphreys the Chairman was instructed to appoint a committee of five to correspond and report relative to the pro? priety and opportunity of purchasing or leasing the Blue Ridge Railroad to an ad journod meeting of the citizens of Anderson. The following gentkmen compose the com? mittee: Messrs. B. F. Crayton, S. Bleckley, 0. H. P. Fant, J. N. Brown and E. A. Bell. After speeches from Messrs. W. 8. Sharpe, J. A. Hoyt, John B. Moore, E. B. Murray, S. M. Pegg and P. K. McCully, the meeting adjourned. Much interest was manifested in the proceedings, and our people appeared more awake to the importance of this en? terprise than they haye ever been. AN ADVENTUROUS CAREER. An interesting sketch of tho adventures and career of a young woman, whose name is familiar to many of our rcadors, appears in this Issue. The heroine of the sketch, Miss Mary Boozer, is now about thirty.thrcc years of age, and at the outbreak of the war she was ostoemcd a great beauty, as many of the Confederate soldiers from this I section rendezvoused at Columbia in 1881 will doubtless remember. Her real name was not Boozer, however. She was the daughter of Mr. I'eter Burton, who once lived at Varcnnes, ,n this County, and who afterwards removed to Columbia, where he met with the mother of Mary, then a widow ready to bo wooed and won. Not long after the birth of his daughter, Mr. Burton resigned the cares of life, and left his widow and child a lair competence. In a year or two after his death, the beautiful and at? tractive widow Burton met with and mar? ried Mr. David Boozer, of Newberry, who was gifted with a large share of worldly wealth, and who lavished a splendid income upon his fascinating spouse and her inter? esting child. He was very fond of his step? daughter, and by an arrangement with the mother, it was agreed that Mary Bhould take the name of Boozer, upon condition that her step-father left her an adequate portion of Iiis property. After two or three years of married life, Mr. Boozer shuffled off this mortal coil rather unexpectedly by commit? ting suicide one bright Sunday niorrfThg, while his beloved wife was at church in her gay attire. This ended the career of the muchly married mother in Newberry, and she returned to Columbia in a short time, now wearing a widow's weeds for the third time. She was not destined to live alone, however, and it was not a great while until the widow Boozer was led to the hymeneal altar by Mr. Jacob Feaster, of Columbia. Mrs. Feaster and her daughter were con? spicuous personages at the outbreak of the war, and the young lady received the atten? tion of the "boys in grey" during their so? journ in Columbia. The family left South Carolina with Sherman's army in 1865, and "the only really loyal woman" Gen. Sher? man met in this State prepared to proSt by her loyalty in finding loyal gold and a rich husband for her eldest daughter. The rest of the story is told in the article to which we alluded at the outset. . For the Anderson Intelligencer. The Brushy Creek Democratic Club met on to-day, the 25th of March, at 2 o'clock p. m. After reading the Constitution and calling the roll, Maj. T. H. Russell addressed the meeting at some length, making some very strong points why we should organize against our present corrupt government. The invitation was then extended to those present wishing to join the Club, which every one done without a single exception. Maj. T. H. Russell then offered the resolu? tions of the Honea Path Club, which were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we, the Democratic Club at Brushy Creek, do appoint three members of our Club to attend the Democratic Conven? tion, to meet at Anderson C. H. on the 15th of April next, to nominate delegates to meet the State Democratic Convention to con? vene in Columbia, 8. C, on the 4th of May, 1876. Resolved, That we cordially invite and urge upon every voter, both white and col? ored, in our township, irrespective of past differences of opinion as to politics, to come and join us, and let us make one common cause in the*great work of reform and in re? storing our State to good government. Resolved; That we, the Democratic Club at Brushy Creek, favor the County Convention plan of nominating candidates for all the offices to be filled in our County from the Legislature down, believing that we can have more unanimity in this plan of select? ing candidates than by primary elections. Resolved, That we favor nominating men for office who the office would seek rather than men who would seek the office, especially for the Legislature, as we believe all good Conservative men would be more likely to join in with us in the great work of reform so much needed, which is acknowledged by all parties, and our dele? gation are instructed to not vote for men who seek nominations, only to vote for men who they believe good, faithful and honest men, and respectfully ask that other Demo? cratic Clubs throughout the County consider the plan we have adopted of electing men for officers. On motion, the following gentlemen were elected to attend the Convention, to be held at Anderson C. H. on the 15th of April next: John W. Singleton, R. T. Elrod and I. W. Pickens, delegates; W. S. Pickens, T. H. Russell and John W. Rosamond, alternates. The meeting then adjourned to meet at Bcthesda Church on the fourth Saturday in April next, at 2 o'clock p. m. J. W. SINGLETON, President pro tern. 8. G. Williams, Secretary. The State Agricultural and Mechani? cal Society.?At a meeting of the Execu? tive Committee of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, held March 21, 1876, at the Wheeler House, the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That the subordinate granges of the Patrons of Husbandry be requested to send three delegates from each county, to meet at Columbia on 6th May next, to confer with the Executive Committee of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society on the subject of the next fair of said society, and to aid in arranging for the same. Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed by the Chair to prepare a circular tobe addressed to the granges on the above subject. Committee?Win. Wallace, J. B. Adger, jr., and J. N. Huffman. Resolved, That the President be requested to iavite Col. Bacon, Gen. Hagoodand other gentlemen to meet the committee at the same time, to confer with them as to the practicability of re-establishing racing in concection with the fair, if the same should be deemed advisable. Resolved, That the next State Fair be held in Columbia, in November, and that the citizens of Columbia be requested to aid it in every way possible. On motion, it was ordered that these pro? ceedings be published in the Columbia and other newspapers friendly to the objects pro? posed. Tribute of Respect. At the regular conferrcncc of Hopewcll Baptist Church the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, it hath pleased the Great Head of the Church, who worketh all tilings for good to them that love God, to remove from our midst our esteemed and much loved sister, MATTIE M. NEAL, whose life was a bright example of all those Christian graces which characterize the true and humble fol? lowers of Jesus ; and, whereas, while recog? nizing the hand of Almighty God, who crreth not, we deem it proper, in fraternal regard to our deceased sister, to give some testimonial of the esteem in which she was held by this Church. Be it, therefore, Reso'tvcd, That in the death of sister Mattic M. Neal, we have sustained the loss of a faithful and zealous sister; one who never failed amidst the sorest protracted afflictions to give indubitable evidence of her unwav? ering devotion to the cause of Christ and to the best interests of His people, whose consistent life we commend and revere. Resolved, That the family of the deceased sister are assured of our sympathies in their bereavement, and our prayers that this sore affliction may be sunctified to their spiritual good. Resolved, That the Clerk be instructed to forward a copy of these preample and reso? lutions to the family of our deceased sister, and that they be published in the Anderson Intelligencer. J. M.
