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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

NEW YORK CASH STORE.
Anderson, S. C, April 27, 1870
TO THE PUBLIC.
FEELING profoundly grateful for the liberal patronage bestowed upon me in the past,
I am more than ever determined to merit a continuance of the same, if Low
Prices, large Stock and attention to business will do it. It is now
generally known that
TOLLY'S FURITURE STORE cannot be UNDERSOLD.
The large quantities of Furniture constantly shipped to distant parts is conclusive proof
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 reduced my well known
$5.00 Bedsteads to $4.50. My $6.00 Bedsteads to $5.00.
French Bedsteads from $9.00 to $7.00.
Washstands from $2.25 to $1.65.
Rep Lounges from $12.00 to $9.00.
Hat Racks from 50 to 25 cents.
