THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL. MATTERS. BRIEF MENTION. We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Mrs. 0. C. Pegg, which appears in another column. Anderson Division Sons of Temperance has recently added greatly to the appearance of their Division room by the purchase of a handsome carpet. It is now one of the most elegant halls in the town of Anderson. The Honea Path Democratic Club will hold its regular meeting on Saturday next, and we are requested to announce that Messrs. James A. Hoyt, James L. Tribble and others have been invited as speakers for the occasion. Mr. Wm. L. Massey, of Winston Co., Miss., who has been a regular subscriber to the Intelligencer for a number of years, paid us a visit on Monday last. He is a son of Mr. 8ilas Massey, of this County, and re? moved to Mississippi over thirty years ago. On Friday last, through the kind indul? gence of their teacher, the pupils of the Carolina Collegiate Institute, together with many invited friends, enjoyed a pleasant picnic on "Silver Brook," a small yet beau? tiful stream about one and a half miles east of this place. TLe School Commissioner informs us that an act has been received by him relieving the County Commissioners from proving school claims. Hereafter they will only be signed by school trustees, and approved by him. The Treasurer will be in town on each Srturday to settle them. Each Lodge of Good Templars in Ander? son County is requested to send one delegate for each ten members composing their Lodge to Orien Lodge, near Mt. Bethel Church in Martin township, on the third Saturday in May, 1876, for the purpose of forming a County Union of Good Templars. James L. Cut. Esq., will address the citi? zens of Varcanes and vicinity at Flat Rock on the fourm Saturday in this month at 2 o'clock p. ia., upon the issues involved in the present canvass. The Democratic Club at that place respectfully invite the ladies and gentlemen of that section to be present. We are requested by A. J. Watt, the President, to announce that there will be an extra meeting of the Anderson Court House Democratic Club on next Friday night in Masonic Hall. A full attendance of the citizens of the town is desired, as business of interest and importance is expected to be presented. Rev. E. R. Carswell will deliver an address upon the subject of Temperance at LaBanon on Saturday next, at 2 o'clock p. m. The members of Lebanon Division, together with the general public, are invited to be present. Mr. Carswell is an earnest speaker, and the cause of temperance is a noble theme. He should have a large audience. The Charleston News and Courier, the Newberry Progressive Age, and the Kingstree Star give expressions of approval to the course of the senior editor of this paper, in declining to become a candidate for any office while engaged in the active pursuit of journalism. These friends will accept thanks for their kind endorsement of our position. The Due West A. R. Presbyterian says: The Literary Societies of Erskine College have secured as their speaker for Commence? ment Col. W. S. Mullins, of Marion, S. C, a prominent lawyer, formerly an active member of the Legislature, an accomplished oeator and a literary gentleman of no mean reputation. It is a good choice." The recent favorable seasons have" greatly improved the prospect of an abundant small grain crop in this section, and those fanners who were wise enough to plant a portion of their lands in wheat, oats, barley and rye, instead of reserving all for cotton, are de? lighted with the prospect of a harvest which will yield them something at this scarce season of the year. "We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Polly Banister which occurred at the resi? dence of her husband, Mr. James Banister, of this County, on the 30th of April last, from an attack of bilious fever. She was sixty-three years of age, and had been a member of the Baptist Church for years. A husband and several children, together with many friends,.are left to mourn her death. The Young Men's Christian Association met in Temperance Hall on last Wednesday evening. The attendance was large and the meeting pleasant. Mr. G. F. Tolly was elected President, Mr. W. C. Andrew Vice President, and Mr. A. P. Hnbbard Secretary and Treasurer. - The Association will meet again on next Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock p. m., in the same Hall. "We have received an invitation to attend the annual celebration of the Calhoun Lite? rary Society of Wofford College, at Spar tanburg, on the 26th of June next. The subject for debate, "Should there be a com? pulsory system of education," will be dis? cussed in the affirmative by Messrs. Joseph Sessions and J. W. Tarbourx, and in the negative by Messrs. W. R. Richardson and James H. Kirkland. Valedictorian, Mr. W. E. Bennett, of North Carolina. The Charleston Journal of Commerce made its appearance on the 1st of May, bright and piquant in appearance, and filled with an excellent variety of original and selected matter. The names of the editors and man? agers do not appear in its columns, but wr hear that the editorial department is under control of Gen. James R. Truehart, a Virginia journalist of much experience, aud that the business department is managed by Mr. Thos. W. Brown, a native of North Carolina, who has lately been engaged in newspaper life in New York. The Journal of Commerce as its name indicates will devote much at? tention to the commercial and material in? terests of the State, and in politics will be staunchly Democratic, working earnestly to promote harmony and unity among the good people of South Carolina. We extend a cordial greeting to the new journal, which has been received with genuine favor in the metropolis. Terms, Eight Dollars per an? num. A meeting was held in Franklin, N. C, on the 19th of April, in the interest of the Blue Ridge Railroad. Capt. J. L. Robin? son "and Dr. W. L. Love made short speech? es in regard to the recent meeting at-Ander? son, and urged the people to send a full del? egation to Charleston on the 25th inst.? Both speakers referred to the hospitality of the citizens of Anderson and the courtesy of the railroad authorities in passing the delegates. A resolution was adopted declar? ing that the people of Macon County have an abiding confidence in the final success of the Blue Ridge Railroad, and an unalterable purpose to contribute a part of their slender resources to accomplish this result when the time arrives. Twenty delegates to Charles? ton were appointed, including Capt. Robin? son, Dr. Love and Prof. Smith. Are the people of Anderson not going to make ar? rangements for adequate representation in the Charleston meeting? It is time to hold a meeting for flat purpose, as only two weeks remain until the delegates are expected in Charleston, GOOD EAT FEOK THE SAG-WEES. Has it ever occurred to our farmers that they can obtain a supply of long forage by curing the ordinary rag-weed ? In the May number of the Rural Carolinian, we find the report of an experiment made by Col. J. Wash. Watts, of Laurens, who is a practical and experienced farmer, and a gentleman of undoubted veracity. This report proves that an abundance of long forage can be harvested from the stubble fields, where the rag-weed grows spontaneously, and at a very light cost. Col. Watts writes as follows to the editor of the Rural Carolinian : Some time ago, I promised to give you the result of my experiment with the rag-weed hay, as feed for horses. I had seen it fed to sheep in Pennsylvania, but I did not know whether horses would eat it, or whether they would be benefitted by eating it. The drought being heavy on our crops, and knowing that food would be very scarce, I concluded to try the weeds; so I put a hand to cutting them while in bloom, and cut several tons, always cutting in the fore? noon and raking up into cocks in the after? noon, and in two days hauling into the barn; by this time they were usually well enough cured to pack away, which should be done as early as they will bear it. We began to feed to the horses at once, and fed no other fodder or hay for three months, and I have never had horses to do better on any forage; they ate it with avidity to the last stem, and improved all the time, notwithstanding their corn rations were light. I am satisfied that it is as good and as healthy feed as we can desire, and from its abundance, we can fill our barns with the' cheapest fodder that grows?the "rag? weed hay." As a feed for sheep, I am assured by one of the best shepherds in Pennsylvania, that his sheep prefer it to his timothy hay; that he regards it as good, healthy feed for sheep. Why we have not found this out long since I am at a loss to know, but I do know that I never again expect to be out of fodder so long as we can grow a crop of rag-weeds. Nearly every stubble field grows up in either rag-weed or crab-grass, and either will make food enough hay if properly cured and oused. For the Anderson Intelligencer. YOUNG MEN'S DEMOCRATIC CLUB. Messes Editors : Please allow me a little space in your paper to present a few ideas, which I hope will meet with an impartial consideration before they are either approv? ed and adopted or pronounced impracticable and unwise. You have doubtless anticipa? ted my whole article by merely reading its caption, for there having been no advocates of a Young Men's Democratic Club in our midst, yon would naturally expect no argu? ment against such a project. I propose to advocate the immediate organization of a Young Men's Democratic Club, not because the young men are not already Democrats and members of Clubs, but because I think they do not now take the interest in these matters that they would if organized in a Club to themselves. Some time since yon advocated the immediate organization of Democratic Clubs throughout the country, in order that the strength and patriotism of our State might be prepared for the coming ( campaign?the fight for justice, truth and honor. How far and how well this organ? ization has been perfected, you and your readers are aware. You have also doubtless noticed how promptly and unanimously the young men have enrolled themselves in the Clubs: hut, we may ask, do they take the vital interest in the matter that they should ? Do they not rather feel that they should keep silence and let the old Democrats and old voters do the talking and planning for the Clubs? It is but natural that they should so think and feel, and for want of the proper exercise it is but natural that, sooner or later, their interest in political affairs would begin to fail them. We do not want the young men to lose interest in this great campaign, but we want them to move onward with an increasing determi? nation to aid in one mighty effort to rescue and uphold our prostrate State. We have in our Town Club quite a number of young men who have never voted as citizens, and who have never before taken any part in politics. As to their voting in the right way at the next election there can be no doubt; but we must remember that we are not only to vote right ourselves, but are to bring over as many votes as possible from the opposition. In other words, these young men are not only to become voters, but workers also. Now, we think this end can be best accom? plished by the young men organizing a Club among themselves, where they can talk and express their ideas and opinions freely to each other, thereby increasing their zeal and strengthening their patriotism.. If this ac? tion should be taken, they would of course have to withdraw from the old Club, but in doing so the Democracy would not be weakened. The party would only be the stronger by the young men understanding the importance of their position; and when the November elections shall have come round, they will turn out in full numbers, both as voters and workers, to aid in ma? king that day glorious and long to be re? membered. Let the young men think of this proposi? tion, and then act according to their best judgment. If there is any good reason why the proposed action should not be taken, of course we would like to have it. TRUE CAROLINIAN. For the Anderson Intelligencer. CENTENNIAL PICNIC AT CRAFT'S FERRY Messes. Editoes: Perhaps a brief account of the Picnic at Craft's-Ferry, on Savannah River, will not prove wholly void of inter? est to some of your many readers. A three hours' ride over good roads, through ver? dant forest, in the fresh and invigorating morning air peculiar to our Piedmont region alone, brought us to Stevenson's Ferry. Here we found the schooner '?Centennial," (named in honor of the occasion,) riding at anchor. A large number of young ladies and gentlemen, representing much of the beauty and gallantry of Hart, were already impatiently waiting on deck. All being safely aboard, Captain Craft, the expert fresh-water navigator, gave the necessary orders, anchor was weighed, joyfully the sails were given to the breeze, the sturdy oarsmen plied the steady stroke, and proud? ly down the river the "Centennial" moved in silent majesty. How jolly! all were ready to exclaim. Beautiful water, pictu? resque banks on either side, robed in nature's purest, richest green, waved a happy wel? come to all. Only those who had the pleas? ure of the ride will call to memory thebeau? tiful panoramic scenes of nature our pen is wholly incompetent to describe. A two hour's ride down the Savannah comes only once in a while, and fain would we linger among the varied scenes. Once more we would wish our ears ravished, and time robbod of its tardiness by merry boat songs from young ladies. The silvery strains floating over the placid water seem to linger yet within memory's halls. How many? but the spell is broken?we have reached the lauding, while the loud cheers of those on shore bid us welcome. Hundreds had assembled. The arrangements for the Pic? nic were complete, nature having done her part by providing living seats for so vast a crowd. Mr. Saunders, a sympathizer of humanity, knew the weary traveler would need refreshments; so he, too, was there with delicious confectioneries and ice lemo? nade to cool lover's heated heart. Of course the "Romeos" can't stay away when the beautiful "Juliets" have gone. For the bet? ter entertainment of the gay and light of heart, Mr. S. had a platform erected, upon which the "light fantastic toe" kept time to the good music of the Elbcrton string band, which added so much to the general pleas? ure of the occasion. At the appointed hour, Col. E. M. Ruckcr, the orator of the day, with his usual felicity, charmed and capti? vated his audience for some thirty minutes, after which came the dinner, which was truly characteristic of the hospitable Geor? gians. The picnic was a splendid success, and one which will ever be remembered with great pleasure by those present, especi? ally by the Carolinians. PALMETTO. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Messrs. Editobs: Now that the Demo? cratic party of the County is thoroughly organized, it is gratifying to every lover of good order and good government to know that with harmonious action the future of our County at least is secure?the success of the party at the approaching election being fully assured. To insure the continuance of the harmony now manifestly existing throughout the organization, let every good citizen earnestly labor; and ignoring all personal and selfish considerations, address himself with earnestness and enthusiasm to the work which sound policy and patri? otism alike dictate. That the nominations of the party for the coming campaign are to be made by prima? ry election is now regarded as the settled policy of the party. Many believed and still believe that there are serious objections to the plan; but this is simply mentioned here to state further, that inasmuch as it was clearly demonstrated at the late County Convention that a large majority of Democ? racy favored that plan, the minority cheer? fully acquiesced, as they will certainly do in the future, even though the question may be of a much graver nature and the majority ever so small. The question next to be considered is, "At what time is the primary election to be holden?" It is presumed at there will be a County Convention called sometime du? ring the summer to settle that and other questions that may arise, or the Executive Committeee may order it. In either case, discussion as to time and manner of holding it cannot be amiss. There are many and substantial reasons for delaying the primary elections until a very short time before the general election time for the circulation of the County papers giving the result of the election seems to be sufficient. Let candidates announce them? selves or their friends announce them as usual; let everybody run that wants to, whether nominated by a local club or not; let them canvass the County, exchanging views with the farmers, and the people will have ample opportunity to judge of their respective merits, and make up their minds deliberately for whom they will give their suffrage. Let their be no hurry before the primary election. Let all the hurry be af? terwards. Give no time for "sore heads" to compare notes; no time for outsiders or insiders to tamper with the disaffected and disappointed. But to return to the candidates. To avoid all mistakes they should be required to answer through the public press the follow? ing interrogatives: Are you a member of any Democratic; Club in the County ? Do yon pledge yourself to abide in good faith by the results *of the primary election, whether you receive the nomination or not? Do you pledge yourself to vote for and use your influence in favor of the election of the persons who are declared by the mana? gers of the primary election to be the choice of the party? Let no candidate be voted for at the pri? mary election who fails to answer these questions unqualifiedly in the affirmative. If this course is pursued there can be no cause to apprehend dissension and division at the last moment. All we will have to do will be to get all of our neighbors, go to the polls, vote "the ticket, the whole ticket and nothing but the ticket," and we will show a majority that will give a quietus to the He publican party in this County for all time to come, besides giving a wholesome lesson for the edification of all "weak-backed" office-seekers who, for the joke's sake, are miss-named independent, as they are inde? pendent of nothing, save political princi? ples. There are many amongst us who have almost dispaired of ever witnessing better times in South Carolina. At a great sacri? fice of principle they have heretofore voted the mongrel ticket which their leaders have recommended, and waked to find that the sacrifice was in vain. They sold their birth right for a mess of pottage, and then didn't get the pottage. They have met with defeat and disappointment till they have not cour? age to make another effort. But there is every reason to believe that the time has come when the Democracy, placing them? selves squarely before the people, holding [ fast to their time-honored principles, will I make a fight which should reanimate all such and awaken them to new life and hope. No such enthusiasm, energy and determination has been evinced by the party since reconstruction as at this moment. This zeal is a harbinger of the triumph of decency and honesty in South Carolina. There are better times in store for us, and they are in the very near future. We have faith in the purity of Democratic principles, and faith that the people have the honesty and patriotism to maintain them. If we all ! work together with a determination to win, we will win, and we will make this centen? nial year indeed a year of jubilee in South Carolina. J. p. B, i Fork, May 8,1876. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Messrs. Editors: As circumstances pre? vented my reply to your answer to my com? munication from appearing last week, I ask space in your columns for a few words, especially in reply to the personal allusions made by you. It must be evident to every impartial mind that your personal allusions were made in absence of any substantial reasons why the course suggested by me should not be adopted, and to detract, if possible, from its influence. I shall merely reply to such matters as are calculated to place me in a false position before some of your readers, leaving it for time to prove whose course would have been more practicable. Should the Democracy make a straight-out fight, and the Republicans elect for Governor one of the worst element of their party, or should the Democracy support Chamberlain and be successful, then give me credit for my better judgment, but should the Democ? racy make a straight-out fight and be suc? cessful, or by supporting Chamberlain be defeated, then say my judgment was errone? ous, but do not attempt to prejudice the minds of the people against the course sug? gested by me, by making personal allusions that have nothing to do with the question at issue. The question is not one of selfish interest, but what course will more probably secure the best government. Any attempt to bring other matters into the question, is foreign to the issue. Although I am an appointee of the Gov? ernor and a U. S. Commissioner, still, I have attempted to divest myself of every interest except the interest of the State, and to what extent I have succeeded remains for tho future to tell. I admit that personal interest sometimes have a bearing unconsciously, but what effect the holding of the positions alluded to by you could or can have on ine, I am not able to discern. Could I not have remained silent or even advocated a straight out ticket without any fear of being re? moved ? Or if removed would it be such a great loss? I think, Messrs. Editors, that you do me a great injustice in attempting to create an impression that my judgment could be swayed by so small a matter. You intimate that I am not the person to suggest to the Democracy what course to pursue, because I do not belong to a Demo? cratic Club. Is this your idea ? Would you suppress every sentiment that did not accord with your own ? Must every man belong to a Democratic Club before he has a right to give expression to his views ? I did not propose to advise the Democracy, but simply to make some suggestions, which the citizen can either approve or disapprove. If they disapprove them, then we simply do not agree in our judgments, that's all. But if your reasoning is correct, then for the same reason I am not the person to suggest to the Republicans what course to pursue, because I do not belong to any Republican organiza? tion. I am, therefore, where I desire to be? no partisan, but free to adopt whatever seems to me right and expedient; no politi? cian, but free to cast my vote as my judg? ment may dictate. This position I should have retained in silence had it not been for the pressure brought to bear upon me to induce me to join a Democratic Club, and some reflections cast on myself and others for refusing to do so. There are some men, Messrs. Editors, that cannot be driven, and if there is one thing that I do glory in it is the moral courage to follow the dictates of my own conscience, even though it be against a popular clamor. When I was asked to join the Democratic Club I was asked to sign a paper pledging myself to stand to and abide by the nominations of the Democratic party, and to denounce every independent candidate as a Radical negro office seeker. I am not nor will not be a candidate for any office, therefore, if a desire for office is the motive power to action, it did not influ? ence or control my actions. Had I desired any office in the gift of the people of Ander? son, and had been governed by that desire, irrespective of every other consideration, I probably should have signed my name to the paper, contented for a straight-out fight, and denounced every other sentiment ns being prompted by some selfish interest. This at least would have seemed the more practicable course, if the motive power had been a desire to obtain office. I did not do so, however, and consequently am unfit even to suggest to the Democracy what seems to me the best course in order to obtain the best government. We who have not joined Democratic Clubs have no war to make against those who have. They have the same right to do so that we have not to do so. I doubtless would have joined a Club myself had I only been required to assent and ascribe to an enunciation of Democratic principles, leav? ing the course to be determined after the organization was complete. But not desir? ing to feel myself bound by any pledge, but to be at liberty to vote as seemed to me best, and not believing a straight-r i fight as an? ticipated practicable, I refused to sign the paper requisite to become a member of the Club. Had others been content with my simple refusal I should have been, for I de? sire no political publicity?it is treacherous, it is dangerous. If your reasoning be correct, that none are Democrats but those who belong to j Democratic Clubs, then the Democrats 'in Anderson County are considerably in the minority. But, Messrs. Editors, this is not the case, for there are many Democrats who refused to pledge themselves who, when they cast their votes, will not be ashamed to vote an open ticket if necessary. It is not necessary to belong to a Democratic Club to know how to vote. I do not cast a single reflection on those who have joined Clubs. It would as little become me to do so as it would those who have joined to cen? sure those who have not. If, therefore, my reasons are understood for not joining a Democratic Club, I am con? tent to accept the position that you would assign me, and to take no part in politics, leaving it for time and the judgment of the people to decide whether coalition is any more wrong or a sin than it was four or two years ago, and whether a straight-out fight will effect more than to ascertain positively the difference in the Republican and Demo? cratic vote of the State, and to decide wheth? er the Republican majority will be more than Chamberlain's over Green at the last election.' Having replied to the personal allusions contained in your answer, at least satisfacto? rily to myself, and desiring to end this un? pleasant controversy, I shall silently assume the position that you would so graciously accord me, and which is more than agreea? ble to me. I am, therefore, Most respectfully, JOHN E. BREAZEALE. For tlie Anderson Intelligencer. HALL TOWNSHIP DEMOCBATIB CLUB. Hall Township Democratic Club met on Saturday, May 6, pursuant to adjournment.
