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.

eleven grains from Mr. W. G. Shepherd,
who resides in Greenville County, some

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.

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

National Democratic Convention, to be
held in St. Louis on the 27th of June, and

. 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.
? According to a Washington newspaper,
Gen. Toombs took the oath of allegiance to
the United States recently, in order that he
might plead a case before the Supreme
Court.
? The banana crop in Louisiana is the
largest ever grown there. The fruit has
grown through the whole winter, instead of
being killed by the frost as usual.
BAPTIST CENTENNIAL FUND.
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.

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.
Mountains to the Ocmnlgee. The legion is
now complete, and a full roster of the field
officers and the representative commands of
the Old Thirteen may be looked for at early
day.
? Governor Stone is the first Democratic
Governor Mississippi has had since 1868,
when Governor Humphreys was dismissed
by military order. A popular majority of
thirty-one thousand backs the present gov?
ernor in his position.
? The New York Sun Insists that there is
abundant ground for the impeachment of the
President.but doubts whether it is worth
while, since he will have to walk the plank
anyhow on the 4th of March next.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
The Scriptures say Naaman would not
believe when told that to be cured oflep
I rosy, he had only to bathe in the river
Jordan. His unbelief brought days of
suffering upon him, as it does upon those
who delay taking Merrell's Hepattne
' for the Liver. When the skin and eyes
become yellow in the spring season, with
pains in the head and bones of .the body,
and a heavy feeling about the 8 torn ach
after meals; there is but one chance to
escape. Sickness of some .sort is sure to
come, unless the bile and bad blood is
carried out of the system. Go to 'your
druggist, -Messrs. Simpson & Sadler, and
get a bottle of Merrell's Hepatine,
that cures all diseases of the liver.
Doctors are guessers. If they guess
right you are allrightT-provided you pay
the bill.- If they gueasiwrong, you go to
the graveyard?tbey-.gqg, to tneir dinner.
Mebrell'b . H?ATiOT-haa loured more
cases of liver disease, indigestion, consti?
pation and dyspepsia, than all the doctors
and pills in the world combined. Ask
your druggist, Messrs. Simpson & Sadler,
about this medicine?Hepatine. Each
bottle contains 'fifty doses, and will - cure
any case of liver complaint in the world.
Globe Flower Cough Syrup cures
cough, colds, and will positively cure
consumption. For sale by Messrs. Simp?
son & Sadler.
.Don't Beg the Question.
, - It is an infallible sign that a cause is weak
when its claims are sought to be established
by mere bold assertion without argument or
substantial proof. Dr. Tutt asserts that his
Hair Dye is the best, and he adduces un?
doubted evidence to substantiate the truth
of the assertion..
READ WHAT EXPERTS SAY.
New Orleans, May 10, 1871.
Dr. Tutt:?Dear Sir: We, the under?
signed, wish to inform you that we have
tried your. Hair Dye, .and find it to be .the
best we Joave. ever used. For; its natural
black color/ it far excels all other dyes: Our |
customers will have no other. Since we be?
gan its use, our business in the dyeing de?
partment has rapidly increased. We think
it a great triumph.

The People Want Proof.
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. It has late?
ly heen introduced in this country from Ger?
many, and its wonderful'cures are astonish?
ing every one that use it. Three doses will
relieve any case. Try it. Sold by Wilhite

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.
Send in orders at once Tor Pumps, and they will be delivered and put in immediately.

TO THE PUBLIC.
FEELING profoundly grateful for the liberal patronage bestowed upon me in the past,

of this assertion. In consideration of the scarcity of money, I have again REDUCED
MY PRICES, and will sell Goods lower for Cash than they can be laid down here from
Charleston or any other place. I have now reduceclmy weU known
