C. Ligon, A. P. Nicholson and Thos. Erskine. Rev. H. H. Banks, Financial Agent of j Davidson College, in North Carolina, sent a circular letter to the Presbytery, in refer? ence to raising an endowment for that in? stitution of learning. The Presbytery re? commended the peopleto contribute liberally to the said endowment, so that free tuition might be given to all students, und heartily endorsed Mr. Banks as the agent of David? son College. Rev. Thomas Dawson, the oldest minister of the Baptist denomination in South Caro? lina, was invited to sit as corresponding member. Rev. R. A. Fair and Rev. J. L. Martin were appointed to visit and preach at Edge field C. H. Rev. F. Jacobs, D. D., from a committee appointed at the last meeting, presented a report on an overture from Rock church, in reference to charades and tableaus as a method of raising money for church purpo? ses. This report subsequently elicited an interesting discussion, in which several of | the ablest members participated, and final action upon the report was postponed until the fall session. The important idea per? vading the report and discussion was in re? gard to the propriety of church members taking part in charades, tableaus and like popular amusements, when the object was to raise church funds. The main, difference of opinion was upon the extent to which Presbytery ought to express its decision, and it was thought by some that the report, which was carefully and ably prepared, went too much into detail in assigning reasons for its conclusions. In response to the requirement of the General Assembly, the Presbytery expressed its opinion that the whole subject of the education and support of candidates for the ministry should be remanded to the Pres? byteries, and likewise determined to cease co-operating at once with the Educational Committee of the General Assembly, in? structing the churches belonging to this Presbytery to send all funds hereafter raised for educational purposes to Rev. P. Jacobs, D. D., Chairman of Presbyterial Committee of Education, Cokesberry, S. C. After a public examination upo.i experi? mental religion and motives for seeking tho gospel ministry, Mr. John McLees, jr., was received under the care of Presbyrery as a candidate for the ministry. The regular fall session of the Presbytery was ordered to be held at Ninety-Six, and Wednesday before the second Sabbath in October, at 3 p. m., was designated as the time. Trial pieces for licensure were as signed to candidate, A. E. Norris, as follov.s: Latin exercise, An Spiritus Sanctus Sit Dem; Popu? lar lecture, 48th Psalm; Critical exercise, Gal. 4: 22 to end of chapter; Trial sermon, Rom. 10: 4. In regard to a re-adjustment of the Pres? byterial bounds, to which special attention of Presbytery was called by the last Synod, the matter was referred to a special commit? tee, of which Rev. W. P. Jacobs is the chair? man, to report at the fell meeting. The pastoral relation between Rev. John G. Law and the Walhalla Church was dis? solved by the Presbytery, at the request of | Mr. Law and with the concurrence of the church, on account of the health of Iiis family requiring him to travel. The delinquencies of churches for the post two years, in the matter of Synodical assessment for thev Theological Seminary was referred to Rev. J. 0. Lindsay to report upon at the fall session. The Sabbath School Convention will be held at Greenwood on the third Tuesday in July next at 3 p. m. The following Commissioners to the Gen? eral Assembly were elected: Ministers?Rev. 3. B. Adger, D. D., and Rev. John G. Law, principals; Rev. F. Jacobs, D. D., and Rev. W. C. Smith, alternates. Ruling Elders Col. G. McD. Miller and Maj. S. P. Dendy, principals; Dr. W. T. Russell and Dr. Wil? liams Wright, alternates. Licentiate R. C. Ligon was granted per nisssion to preach at Providence Church until fall meeting. Rev. J. S. Murray, patsor of the Anderson Baptist Church was invited to sit as corres? ponding member. Liberty Spring church was granted per? mission to employ the services of Rev. Hugh Strong until next meeting. The Executive Committee on Domestic Mission was reorganized with Rev. T. H. Law, chairman, Rev. R. H. Reid, Elders T. J. Moore and John H. Evins. AU ministers are required to report next fall the amount of salary promised and amount actually paid. Churches to he held responsible next spring for failure to take up. any of the Assembly collections. The Clerk was instructed to procure one copy of the minutes of the General Assembly for each minister, licentiate and clerk of ses? sion. The foregoing synopsis embraces the more important business transacted during the meeting of Presbytery, which continued through Thursday, Friday and Saturday, closing after public worship on Saturday night. Each day an hour or more of the morning session was devoted to religious exercises, consisting of singing, praying and brief addresses. Sermons were delivered on Thursday night by Rev. J. L. Martin and on Saturday night by Rev. J. R. Jacobs. The order of exercises for the Sabbath were highly interesting and attracted large congregations. The different pulpits were occupied as follows: Presbyterian Church? eleven o'clock a. m., Rev. F. Jacobs, D. D., of Cokesbury; eight o'clock p. m., Rev. J. O. Lindsay, of Due West. Baptist Church eleven a. m., Rev. A. L. Miller, of Abbeville; eight p. m., Rev. Thos. H. Law, of Spartan burg. Methodist Church?eleven a. m., Rev. W. F. Pearson, of Due West. At three o'clock in the afternoon, a mass meeting of the Sunday Schools was held in the Presbyterian Church, and the house was filled to overflowing with bright, happy faces. In addition to the customary exer? cises, an address was delivered by Rev. W. P. Jacobs, of Clinton, in Laurens County, which was replete with pointed expressions, appropriate anecdotes by way of illustra? tion, and impressive lessons for the young. His talk was exceedingly woll adapted for the occasion, and we were impressed with the idea that he is one of the few men gifted with a superior talent for instructing chil? dren in a public address. ? The members and delegates were a body of fine-looking, intelligent and earnest men, and the citizens of our town esteemed it a privilege to open their hearts and homes to them. Each day's exercises were attended by a respectable number of visitors, who seemed deeply interested in the proceedings. Altogether, we will express the general opinion in saying that the meeting of the South Carolina Presbytery has been warmly appreciated by our people generally. ANOTHER MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. We learn that a most distressing and fatal accident occurred in the Dark Corner on Thursday last, which almost beggars de? scription for its sadness and horror. It ap? pears that a son of Mr. James Simpson, ? a lad of nine or ten years of age, went to the well for tlw purpose of drawing water. The well was not securely covered, and when the liitle fellow drew up the bucket and attempted to catch hold of it, he missed his footing and fell head-long into the well, which is about forty-five feet in depth. His mother heard the noise, and made the dis? covery that her son had fallen into the well. Upon going to his assistance, she ascer? tained that he was alive and attempted to draw him up by the rope, bnt when he got near to the mouth of the well, her hold upon the windlass was slackened and for the second time he fell again to the bottom. By this time the father came to the relief of the mother, and concluded not to trust to the windlass, but to draw the little fellow up by the rope itself in his own hands, and when he had succeeded in bringing the brave boy nearly to the surface, the grasp of the child upon the rope was relaxed, and he fell back for the third time. Of course, life was ex? tinct when his body was recovered. This is one of the most distressing and melancholy occurrences we have ever known, and we deeply sympathize with the unfortunate pa? rents, who were compelled to witness the harrowing scene. TOWN MEETING. The American Fire Extinguisher has been on exhibition in Anderson for the past few days. A meeting of the Town Council was held in the Court House on Tuesday evening at which the citizens were requested to be preseut. The experiments of the agent, Mr. Tryon, of Charleston, were very satisfactory iu extinguishing flames, and a committee from the citizens and board of trade reported favorably upon this class of fire extinguishers, stating that it would effect a considerable reduction in insurance for the town to own an engine, but that they made no recommendation. After much wrangling discussion, the few citizens who remained passed a resolution request? ing the Council to leave the purchase of an extinguisher to a vote of the citizens of the town. The engine which it is contemplated to purchase will cost nine hundred dollars. It has a capacity of seventy-five gallons of water, which will generate three thousand gallons of carbonic acid gas, which has an extinguishing power equal to eighteen thou? sand gallons of water. Our citizens should inform themselves as to the merit of this engine, to be able to vote intelligibly upon its purchase if the question is submitted to the voters of the town. DEATH OF MISS ^AREER. Our readers will regret to learn that Miss Emma Parker, whose unfortunate accident we announced last week, died on last Satur? day morning, at about 10 o'clock, from the effect of her injuries. Her father, mother and two sisters had been her constant at? tendants for several days previous to her death, and rendered ever,, kindness and at? tention which it was possible for profes? sional skill or tender love to administer for the alleviation of her suffering, which, though intense, she bore with marked patience and Christian resignation until death ended them. The manner in which she caught fire is a mystery, and must ever remain so, as she herself was unable to give any account of it. SONS OF TEMPERANCE. The following'^offieers were installed at Lebanon Division for the ensuing quarter, by Mr. Wm. Harper acting D. G. W. P., on Saturday last: Jeptha Harper, W. P.; Wm. Wilson, W.

It will again consist of charades, which will be rendered by ama? teurs of the town, and a pleasant evening may be expected by those who attend. The Democratic Club of Centrcville Mills met on Saturday last, and decided in favor of primary elections, thinking it the best and most satisfactory way to secure candi? dates. The next meeting will be held at Deep Creek Grange on the First Saturday in May, when addresses may be expected. For the Anderson Intelligencer. BELTON DEMOCRATIC CLUB. The Belton Democratic Club met April 8th, 1876, according to adjournment. The President called the meeting to order, and declared the Club ready for business, when Dr. H. I. Epting was introduced to the au? dience and made a long and interesting speech. By this time Mr. E. B. Murray arrived and was introduced to the audience, and addressed the Club in an able and in? structive manner. The addresses of both were well received and heartily applauded by all present. After the addresses the minutes of our last meeting were read and approved by the Club. The report of the Executive Committee was next called for, when several names were reported by the committee to be added to our list. An invitation was then extended to all present, who were not mem? bers, to come forward and join. It waR then suggested that we elect delegates to the County Convention, to meet at Anderson C. H. on the 15th inst., when on motion the President was requested to appoint six dele? gates and six alternates. The following persons were appointed delegates: G. W. McGec, G. W. Cox, W. J.

The meeting was large and orderly, and adjourned satis? fied that they had been greatly benefitted. Adjourned to meet the second Saturday in May next. W. C. BROWN, President. Jas. W. Poobe, Secretary. Fur the Anderson Intelligencer. . According to previous announcement the Democratic Club of Hall Township met at the Carswell Institute on Saturday the 1st day of April, at 2 o'clock p. m. The Presi? dent not being present, Jas. S. Beaty was placed in the chair and A. E. Rice requested to act as Secretary. On examination of the lists that had been placed in the hands of each member of the executive committee, it was ascertained that one hundred and seven (107) names had been enrolled and a pros? pect of more at the next meeting, which takes place on the first Saturday in May, at 9 o'clock a. m., at which time every voter in the Township is respectfully invited tobe present, irrespective of past differences of opinion as to politics, and to join us in making an effort to place our State in the hands of an honest government. After some discussion, it was resolved that we, the Democratic Club of Hall Township, do not favor the plan of primary elections, but prefer the county convention plan of nominating candidates for office. On mo? tion, the following persons were elected to meet tho Convention at Anderson Court House on the 15th of April: D. C. Howard, Jas. Thompson, A. E. Rice and R. R. Beaty, delegates; L. M. Holl, J.

For the Anderson Intelligencer. Messrs. Editors : Our Democratic Club at Bethany is in a healthy condition. We hold monthly meetings regularly, and the people are waking up to the importance of the Democratic party. We met on the 8th inst., and decided in favor of the plan of primary elections, but I believe that many people do not understand the modus operandi of the primary election plan, and as some think it will produce too much scattering of votes in that section, I will venture a suggestion, which I think will obviate that thing, and will produce unity of action on the day of the primary election, and have a tendency to bring out the strongest men as the nominees of our party: First, about two months before the primary election, let every Club in tho County meet and make nominations; send up that nomination to the County Club at Anderson. Let that Club compare the nominations of all the clubs, and find out who arc the most promi? nent men for each office in the County, pub? lish the same, so that everybody may know on the day of the primary election who are ?likely to be the choice of the people and most available men in the whole County. Then, on the day of the primary election, one club will know who is likely to be voted for in all the other clubs. Let the County Club at the same time it publishes the result of the primary nominations of the different clubs, order all the subordinate clubs on a certain day to hold primary elections, and to send up the result ofthat election to the County Club at Anderson. Let that Club count every vote polled at the primary elec? tion by all the subordinate clubs for the prominent men, and the man that has re? ceived the highest vote for any one office in the County collectively, be declared the nominee of the Democratic party for office. Then all true Democrats should vote for that man and vote for no other. DEMOCRAT. ?3~ Mr. C. A. Reed has recently received orders for the Cheatham Cotton Seed from Georgia, Mississippi and the lower part of this State. Mr. Reed promptly forwarded the seed, and we hope that the parties pur? chasing will be rewarded for their enterprise by a large yield of this very prolific and peculiarly fine textured cotton. Gens. M. C. Butler and Stephen D. Lee were serenaded in Greenville on Friday night. Gen. Butler excused himself from speaking, and introduced Gen. Lee to the crowd, who made a short and effective speech, saying that there was no doubt of the political sal? vation of South Carolina, if our people would but will it?would but deserve it would but demand it?would but work for it, and nothing else! Mississippi succeeded by united effort, and South Carolina could do the same. His speech was received with great applause. ? The New Orleans Picayune says Gen. Jeff. Thompson predicts that a greater volume of water will come down the Mis? sissippi river this year than any previous year since 1826. BRIEFLETS OF STATE HEWS. Judge Northrop has decided to take up Iiis residence in Newberry. The plan of primary elections for candi? dates scorns to meet with general favor in Pickens County. Mr. E. H. Blodgett has been appointed mail agent on the Camdcn branch of the South Carolina Railroad. Hon. W. D. Porter writes that the monu? ment to W. Gilmore Simms will cost $2,500, of which only $1,000 has been raised, prin? cipally in Charleston, and calls upon the various Counties of the State to contribute $50 each. Information has been received from the State Treasurer that he will be able to pay during this month two-thirds of the school money due the various counties under the re? cent apportionment of the Superintendent of Education. Mrs. Mary Reid, the relict of the. late George Reid, of Aberdeen, Scotland, 'died Buddenly, in London, on the 6th of March, ?t the extreme age of 88 years. The deceased had many friends in Charleston, and in Col? umbia, Yorkville and other places in the State. Judge Carpenter was elected a delegate to the Radical State Convention from Edgcfield County, and Gov. Chamberlain was elected froraHorry County! "When Greek meets Greek, then will come the tug of war." Carpenter and Chamberlain fighting for the crown?here comes the Democrats and knocks them both down. The Piedmont Factory on the Saluda River I has been completed, and is now in smooth running order, making cloth equal in tex? ture to the Graniteville Factory. One hun? dred hands are employed, and the annual consumption of the raw material will be about 4,000 bales of cotton. We congratu? late the President, Col. H. P. Hammett, upon the completion of this important work. The grand jurors of Lancaster County have taken steps to vindicate their charac? ters from the aspersions cast upon them by Judge Mackey, in Iiis charge to the grand jury of Chester at the recent tcrtn of the Court, wherein he alleged that they had committed "a plain, deliberate violation of a most solemn oath." Mackey denies that he used this language, and his usual luck will enable him to escape the wrathful in? tentions of the Lancaster jurors. Mary DeGraffcnreid, the colored waman who figured rather extensively in one of the affidavits filed in the Legislature in the ef? fort made to have Judge T. J. Mackey's offi? cial conduct investigated, has brought suit against Governor D. H. Chamberlain and Treasurer P. L. Cardozo, as proprietors of the Union-Herald newspaper, for permitting certain publications to appear in that paper about the time of the said proposed Mackey investigation. Damages are claimed to the amount of $10,000. Another Home Institution.?We most cordially invite attention to the advertise? ment of the Grangers' Life and Health In? surance Company. The South Carolina de? partment of this company was organized by Captain B. J. Curry, General Manager, at I the parlor of the Columbia Hotel, on the 5th. This company united in its organization many of the very best business men of the country, men whom the people respect for capacity and integrity. The names of the officers and directors, which may be seen in another column, at once suggests success of the highest order. This life insurance com ! pany has, within a few months, taken a place in the first ranks of insurance compa? nies of this country. Its popularity with all classes of business men is great, and its suc? cess is unprecedented. This is accounted for only by its basis of organization, and the prudence with which its business has been conducted. Its rates are based upon mortu? ary tables, backed by a heavy cash capital, and protected from blunders in business by strict charter and constitutional adherence to the plans of insurance which hnve been approved by the experience of the oldest and most successful companies of the country. It makes no experiments with new, untried plans for the sake of popularity. With such a basis as this, backed by a large capital, kept and loaned in the State, and with such ele? ments of popularity in its organization, this company deserves the consideration and pat? ronage of our people. There is no longer any reason why we should invest money with unknown, foreign companies A safe policy is a necessity. No man can make a better investment of his money than to take a policy in this company, managed by his neighbors and friends. Third Union District, Saluda Baptist Association.
