There was a considerable frost on Tues? day morning, and an exceedingly heavy frost for the season on Wednesday morning. Early vegetables were greatly damaged in some localities.. . Mr. A. M. Elledge was recently elected an alderman in Griffin, Ga., almost without opposition. .Mr. Elledge is an industrious mechanic and good citizen, and we are pi cased to hear that he is appreciated across the Savannah. He is a native of Laurens County, and resided in Anderson for a short time since the war. At the last meeting of the Anderson Dem? ocratic Club, it was determined to have an address at future meetings, and the Execu? tive Committee was instructed to provide suitable speakers. We understand that Col. Joseph N. Brown has been selected to deliver the address at the next meeting, Which takes place on .Friday evening, 5th of May. Information has been received of the death of Mrs. Mary Prince, of Bipley, Miss., which occurred at the residence of her son in-law, Capt. A. C. Bucker, on Friday, March 31st, in the 76th year of her age. The deceased was the widow of Mr. Richard Prince, one of the early settlers of Anderson, who removed to Mississippi about thirty years ago. The cattle ordinance relinquished its terrors for the owners of cows on Saturday last, and until the first of October the lean and hungry kine can browse to their heart's content in the streets of Anderson. All other stock are prohibited from running at large during any. portion of the year, which provision of the ordinance should be noted by owners of horses, mules and goats, who wish to escape its penalties. We learn that the faculty and pupils of Mrs. J. V. Moore's school intend giving a May Party on the 28th inst, at the school house on Greenville street, to which all friends and patrons are respectfully invited. The fashionable Cantata, "New Tear's Eve," will be rendered, in which the four seasons of the year are represented by the pupils of the institution. The ladies of the school are using every effort to make the party a suc? cess. Mrs. Amanda Bo wen, the wife of Mr. T. J. Bowen, living near the Abbeville line, was fatally wounded by an accidental pistol shot on-Sunday morning, 9th inst. She wan attempting to get her bonnet from a nail in the wall, upon which a pistol was also hang? ing. In reaching for the bonnet, the pistol fell to the floor, and in picking up the pis? tol, shekel it fid I again, when the pistol was discharged and the ball entered the body of Mrs. Bowen. She survived until Tuesday afternoon, when death released her from agony. The deceased was formerly Miss Amanda Armstrong, daughter of Wm. Arm? strong, and was a most estimable woman. Site leaves a husband and four children. We leam that Dr. O. B. Mayer, of New iberry, and Dr. H. I. Epting, of William? tston, performed a most successful surgical ?operation on Thursday last, extracting a stone weighing six ounces, one drachm and eleven grains from Mr. W. G. Shepherd, who resides in Greenville County, some twelve or fifteen miles from Williamston. Mr. Shepherd was doing exceedingly well on Sunday 'last, and will certainly recover very soon. He has been a great sufferer for the last nine years., Drs. Mayer and Epting since October last have extracted stones from three persons living within a distance of ten or twelve miles, which number of operations is considered very remarkable in so short a time. On Friday evening laut, a mumber of gentlemen met at the office of the Anderson Journal, for the purpose of organizing a Young Men's Christian Association, and arranging to send delegates to the State Convention which met in Columbia on tbe 18th inst. A temporary organization was effected by the choice of Mr. E. P. Earle as President and Mr. J. A. Brock as Secretary. Messrs. G. F. Tolly and E. B. Murray were selected as delegates to Columbia, and these gentlemen left on Tuesday morning upon their mission. A permanent organization of the Young Men's Christian Association will be made on next Wednesday evening, 26th inst, and all persons interested are cordially invited to meet at the office of the Anderson IntcUigcncer.

THE DEMOCRATS I* COUNCIL. Harmonious Proceedings of the Count} Convention. Pursuant to the call of the Chairman, CapL J. *A. Hoyt, delegates from the various subordinate clubs in this County met in the capacity of a County Convention in the Court .House on last Saturday. The Chairman, in calling the Convention to order, made a short address of congratula? tion and encouragement to the Democratic party of this County, and claimed that An? derson County had led off in the work of organization so she was continuing in the van. He then referred to the bright pros pecta before the National Democratic party, and urged united action on the part' of the people of this State for the purpose of effecting a reformation in onr government, and securing a new era of political pros? perity to onr people. He then stated that the object of this Convention was to elect delegates to the State Convention, which meets in Columbia on the 4th of May for the purpose of electing delegates to the National Democratic Convention, to be held in St. Louis on the 27th of June, and announced the Convention ready for busi? ness. Upon motion of Maj. John B. Moore, Mr. Thomas S. Crayton was elected Secre? tary for the Convention.

The call of the clubs showed a member? ship of two thousand enrolled members in the County, with the reports of several ex? ecutive committees to be had yet, which will increase the actual membership now in the County considerably above the number already reported. Tue election. of delegates to the State Convention waa then entered upon, and it was resolved that, the Convention elect by ballot, and that the six persons having the highest vote should be the delegates, and the six next highest the alternates. The result of the election, was. as follows: Dele? gates, Messrs. J. A. Hoyt, E. B. Murray, John B. Moore, W. C. Brown, C. S. Matti son and John B. Sit ton ; Alternates, Messrs. W. S. Pickens, J. M. Glenn, J. P. Brown, J. T. Barnes, G. M- McDavid and Dr. John Wilson. Each of the delegates elected received a majority of all the votes cast by the Convention. After this electiion, Maj. John B. Moore offered the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: Whereas, The Republican party of this County, in a convention held the 8th inst, at Anderson Court House, resolved to make no nominations for the fall elections, and that they would vote far no one who would not go before the people on ads own merits, ?Sc Therefore be it Resolved, That the Democratic organi? zation, in South Carolina has for its sole object the redemption of this Slate from its present and past degradation and corrup? tion, brought on by Radical rule, and for the accomplishment of this end we invite the co-operation of all good and honest men of every class and name Resolved, That the Democratic party does not ask direction directly nor indirectly from its enemies, who are also the enemies of good and honest government, I and when ofiered we recognize in it a desire to destroy the unity of the party that Radical role may be made victorious and triumphant in this County. Resolved, That we recognize in the proceedings of the Radical party a fixed will and deterni''nation to bring out their candidates as independents, who claim to be Democrats, to the and that the vote of the Democratic party may be divided and its candidates defeated. Resolved, That we recognize but two K-ties in Anderson County, to wit: The mocratic party and the Radical party. Resolved, That the Democratic party will nominate its candidates either by pri? mary elections or by convention, as the sub? ordinate clubs may elect, and that all Dem? ocrats will support to a man these nominees when placed in the field, and that we will recognize all independent candidates as opposed to our party. Mr. E. B. Murray offerd the following resolution, which was adopted by the Con? vention : Resolved, That the Central Executive Committee of this County be instructed to have a maps celebration on the Centennial Anniversary of American Independence, and that they announce the programme with speakers, and that the executive com? mittees of subordinate clubs be requested to co-operate in the arrangements. The Convention then, upon motion, ad? journed sine die. The proceedings of the body were harmo? nious and aaj^husiaatic throughout, and evinced much interest and good feeling in the work of organization, throughout the County. The people are resolute and de? termined that none but true and reliable men shall be elevated to public position in Anderson County at the coming election, and a handsome vote may be looked for on the State ticket should the Democratic party of South Carolina determine to wrench the government from the party which has ruled and ruined for the past eight years. ?

The Baptist State Convention, at its meeting in Spartanburg last fall, determined to inaugurate a movement to create a wider and deeper interest in the higher walks of education, in connection with the approach ing Centennial of American Independence, which recalls the Bufferings and struggles of one hundred years ago in behalf of civil, and religious liberty on this continent. This work was entrusted to a Centennial Committee, which secured the services'of Bev. "W. C. Lindsay as .Corresponding Sec? retary and General Agent, who is prosecu? ting the plans adopted for raising a Baptist Centennial Fund of not less than Fifty Thousand Dollars, which is to be equally divided between the Southern Baptist Theo? logical Seminary and the Furman Universi? ty. In pursuance of the plans agreed upon, under the direction of the General Agent, the work has been entrusted to the wisdom and- energy of sub-committees in the several Associations, who are expected to present the objects of the Centennial Fund .to the churches and denomination. The sub-com mittee for the Saluda Association is com? posed as follows: W. E. Walters, chair? man, E. B. Carswell, B. M. King, James A. Hoyl, Edwards B. Murray, E. P. Earle, C. E. Horton and James W. Poore. Upon consultation it has bee- agreed that the fol? lowing persons will attend the Union Meet? ings, embracing the fifth Sabbath in April, and ask the co-operation of the churches in the work assigned to. the sub-committee, of. the Saluda Association: First Union Dis? trict, at First Creek Church, Eav. W. JB. Walters, H. L. Clinkscales and Bev. A. Biec; Second Union District,' at "Belton", Rev..R. W. Burts, E. B. Murray and Rev. C. W. Dicken ; Thir^-Union District, at Townville, Rev. E. B. Carswell, E. P. Earle and James A. Hoy t. ELBE COMPANY, j j i A meeting was held in the Court House on Tuesday night, for the purpose of organ? izing a Fire Company. Mr. John W. Todd was called to the "chair and Dr. W. G. Brown requested to act as Secretary. About forty young men were enrolled as members of the proposed organization, and the following officers were chosen: W. . W. Humphreys, President; John W. Todd, First Director; E. T. Cashine, Second Di? rector ; A.,J. Watt, Third Director;. W. G. Browne, Secretary and Treasurer. A com? mittee of five was appointed to draft a con? stitution and by-laws, and also to serve as an Executive Committee, viz: Messrs. W. 8. Brown, J. M. Sullivan, S. M. Pegg, J. Beese Fant and W. W. Keys. On motion, the chairman of the meeting was added. The meeting adjourned until to-morrow (Friday) evsning, when it is expected that the Executive Committee will report the constitution and by-laws. It is the purpose, of the organization to equip its members with buckets and ladders, in case no better appliances for extinguishing fires are furnished by the town, as the young men are convinced that organized efforts under proper direction will serve to protect and preserve property in some measure. A GOOD EXAMPLE. The young ladies of Columbus,fHSaJf?M' setting an exam pie. of economy to the young men, worthy of the Centennial leapjrear. In convention assembled, they have unani? mously adopted the following resolutions: Resolved, That we have always -been opposed to the young'gentlemen hiring carriages to take us to places of amusement, simply because it rained. Resolved, With a view of setting an ex? ample and a precedent, we obligate our? selves to ignore carriages, and provide our? selves with an umbrella, a water-proof and a pair of over-shoes, and we shall ask those gentlemen whom we are to escort to be pro? vided likewise; v These resolutions are all right, but we fear they are entirely too good to last longer than leap-year?like the reform policy of the Republican party, only intended for service through the campaign. ACTION OF THE BLABTOWN DEMO? CRATIC CLUB, At a meeting of the Slabtown Democratic Club, held April 8th, the following resolu? tions were adopted, viz: Bxmlved, That we, the'Skbtown; pemo cratic Club, favor the County Convention plan ?of nominating candidates for''all'the' offices to be filled in onr 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 whom the office would seek rather than men who would seek the office, that there may be as little controversy or litiga? tion brought to bear in .our organization plan as possible, which would not be the case in the primary electioa plan, which could not be carried out without contro? versy and dissatisfaction. Three or four candidates might be proposed in the same club for the same office, and each, of course, would have his friends, and every person, who is acquainted with the nature of elec? tions, knows that it would be impossible to conduct one even in a club of three or four hundred members without the routine of cunning artifice, wiles and deceptions usually practiced on such occasions, especially where the office is oae of impor? tance to the officer or the people, and as every person's friend could not be success? ful, there might be prejudice and coldness produced that might damp the ardor and patriotism of some persons by which their influence would be lost even up to the fall election. ,A. door is certainly opened for such ? result, which we think would not be the case in the nominating convention plan. We therefore favor the convention plan, and respectfully ask that other Democratic clubs throughout the County consider the plan we have adopted for selecting men for office. The Slabtown Club will hold its regular meetings the first Saturday in each month. J. P. SMITH, Secretary. If our farmers will purchase com? mercial fertilizers and continue to plant cot tore, it will certainly be to their interest to uae the very best seed; Mr.-C. A. Reed is selling packages of the Cheatham Cotton Seed at $1.00, $1.50, $2.00, $3.00 and $5.00. From this seed, with good culture, from three to five bales of cotton have been made to the acre. ? The Augusta Constitutionalist learns fiom a gentleman, who has made a tour in the Counties of South Carolina not very re? mote from Augusta, the whites and blacks, in some localities, have petitioned the Gov? ernor to furnish them with something to subsist upon. In Barnwell County, at Mar? tin's Station, it is said the negroes have held a mass meeting and begged that the white people would devise some means whereby they could get work and bread. ? The acceptance by the splendid Fifth Maryland Regiment of Infantry of a place in the Centennial Legion, as a representative of the "Old Maryland Line of 1776," will be received with hearty acclaim from the Green.

There is no medicine prescribed by phy? sicians, or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence of its success and superior virtue as Boschee's German Syrup for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the Breast, Con? sumption, or any disease of the Throat and Lungs. A proof of that fact is that any per? son afflicted, can get a sample bottle for 10 cents and try its superior effect before buy? ing the regular size at 75 cents.

AENSTEIN & ROSE, NEW YORK CASH STORE. Anderson, S. C, April 13, 1876 _ THE BEST OTP IN THE WORLD NOTHING conduces more to GOOD HEALTH than PURE WATER. Such is fur? nished by the DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP, Manufactured by J. C. Nichols & Bro., Atlanta, Ga., which brings the water pure and fresh from the bottom of the well. No slime or filth 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 ease, 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 ? .ALonsrzo l. welch:, Anderson C. II., S. C.
