THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL, MATTERS. DEATH 0? DR. ALEXANDER EYIHS. We are pained to announce the sad intel? ligence that Dr. Alexander Evins departed tili? life on Sunday night last, at the resi? dence of Col. John H. Evins, in Spartanburg. His disease was consumption, and for many years Dr. Evins has been in delicate health, suffering from a bronchial affection. He lias declined rapidly for the last several weeks, and when we visited him only one week ago, we felt that his days were few in the land of the living. On Sunday evening, as we learn from the Spartanburg Sparian, Dr. Evins was sitting up with the family, and received his friends with his usual cheerfulness. He retired shortly after nine o'clock, going up stairs with great difficulty, supported by his nephew. In leis than an hour he was a corpse. Thus passed away one who was greatly beloved and honored in our community, and whose memory will be cherished in numerous households. Dr. Evins was born on the 17th day of March, 1802, in Spartanburg County. He studied medicine and graduated at Lexing? ton, Ky., which was then one of the first schools in the country. There were no railroads in those days, and the young stu? dent rode to college on horseback. He practiced his profession for a short time at Fairview, in Spartanburg County, and then removed to Pendleton District, where he made hosts of friends, and for a long time enjoyed a most lucrative practice, from which he retired many years ago. He was genial and popular in his manners, and soon won the confidence and support of the pec ? pie. He represented Old Pendleton in the State Senate, and when the District was divided, Dr. Evins was elected Commis? sioner in Equity for Anderson County. He was afterwards sent again to the State Sen? ate, and until ? :ithin a few years was always most active and useful in every relation of life. He was a delegate to the Knoxville Convention in 1836, which discussed and planned the grand scheme for a railroad connection with the great West, and his interest in the promotion of similar schemes was unabated to the end of life. Dr. Evins was one of the earliest settlers of our town, and until a few years ago re? sided in our midst.. He was warmly es? teemed for his gentle, dignified manners, firm and decided views of men and things, and strong espousal of whatever measures for the public good he deemed right. In every circle of society, he was regarded with great respect, and to his intimate friends and acquaintances there was always a frankness and candid bearing which could not fail to elevate him as a true man and unshaken friend. He left our place several years ago, after the death of his nephew, Dr. Thomas A. Evins, and has since resided in Spartan? burg. This 'hurried sketch is necessarily imperfect as to the life and character of the deceased, whose position and influence for so many years entitled him to rank as an honored land-mark of Anderson, where his memory will be revered and his virtues tenderly cherished. PROTECTION AGAINST DISCRIMINA? TION. The management of the railroads between Anderson and Charleston not having ac? ceded to* the reasonable demands of our mer? chants in regard to freights, an effort is making to secure protection against unjust And arbitrary discrimination by the estab? lishment of a wagon line from this point to ihe Air Line Railroad. At a meeting of the Board of Trade, a committee was appointed to confer with the authorities of the South ?Carolina Railroad during the stockholder's meeting in Charleston on the 11th of April. The committee reported to the Board of Trade on the 12th inst., stating that it was not in their power to have the desired con? ference as a committee, and that nothing had teen accomplished in reference to the k reduction of freights. In a conversation [ with the chairman, President Magrath promised to visit Anderson soon after the meeting of stockholders of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, but he has not yet made the promised visit. After some dis? cussion as to the propriety of getting up a wagon train to haul goods from some point on the Air Line Railroad to this place, and making arrangements with the authorities 1 of the said railroad in reference to freights, on motion, a committee of five members was appointed by the President to confer with th ? authorities of the Air Line Rail? road, with the view of making arrangements in regard to freights to be delivered at some point on the said railroad, to be decided by the committee upon conference. The Presi? dent appointed Messrs. N. K. Sullivan, A. B. Towers, S. Blecklev, J. Bavlis Lewis and O. H. P. Fant as the committee, and on motion, the President (Mr. Crayton) was added to the committee. These gentlemen were instructed to co-operate with the mer? chants of Pendleton, who desire to accom? plish similar ends. This is a move in the right direction, and we understand that the committee has en? tered upon the duties assigned with vigor and energy. The efforts already made to secure justice and fairness at the hands of the South Carolina Railroad, we regret to say, have met with unpromising results. The only response so far received has been a greater discrimination than ever against the true interests of Anderson. Numerous examples might be given to prove the asser? tion that the policy of the South Carolina Railroad, which virtually controls the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, has been steadily directed towards forcing shippers of freight to patronize the line from Charleston to Anderson, witho?t regard to the interests of the parties involved, who pay the freights. A ton of freight from Atlanta to Greenville, a distance of 150 miles, cost $4.00; from Greenville to Anderson, a distance of 35 miles, $6.00. One hogshead of molasses and two sacks of coffee from Wilmington to Columbia cost $5.52; from Columbia to Anderson, $14.46. A package of goods from New York to Greenville cost $1.45; from Greenville to Anderson, ???2.32. Flour from Atlanta to Greenville costs forty cents per barrel; from Greenville to Anderson, eighty cents. These instances are sufficient to show that our merchants are restricted by the exorbitant local tariffs charged upon all goods not shipped from Charleston or through that city. It is lamentable that the railroad authorities do not recognize the fact that such a policy is suicidal in the extreme, and that in preventing our merchants from building up and enlarging the trade of An? derson, they are lessening freights from this depot, besides increasing the trade and busi? ness of even* point on the Air Line Railroad. Selfish considerations alone would seem to dictate a different policy, whereby the Imsi ness of Anderson would be fostered and stimulated, instead of hampered and re? stricted. The Greenville and Columbia Railroad has recently given notice that it will not recognize any through bills of lading or through rates of f right from Northern or Eastern cities, except those issued by the regularly authorized agents of the Great Southern Freight Line, r?i Charleston, S. C. All freigts destined for stations on the line of the Road, except as above stated, will be subject to the local classification and rates of freight. This undisguised purpose to force the merchants along the line to patronize a particular freight line, or else subject them? selves to heavy penalties, leaves no alterna tive to the merchants of Anderson save to seek another outlet for transacting their business with the outside world. The power to escape the penalties imposed by a railroad monopoly is within their grasp, and we shall be greatly disappointed unless the present movements of our Board of Trade arc not speedily consummated. We would greatly prefer, as a matter of pride in our commercial metropolis, that a different spirit was exercised towards the interior mer? chants, and that the efforts of our railroad magnates be directed to increasing the trade of every town, which is tributary to Charles? ton. But the experience of the past teaches that naught will convince them wc arc in earnest, until the trade of Anderson is diverted to another channel. This plan is feasible and practicable, and President Magrath can only blame his own policy for the adoption of this plan in self-defence by our merchants. TEMPERANCE EXCURSION. As has been previously announced, the anniversary pic nie of Anderson Division, No. 1, Sons of Temperance, will take place at Williamston on Saturday, 27th inst. Arrangements have been made for an excur? sion train from Anderson to Williamston, which will depart and arrive on the regular passenger schedule. The committee in charge of the excursion have fixed the price of tickets as follows: From Anderson and return, 50 cents; Belton and return, 25 cents. All are expected to purchase rickets before getting on the train, and they can be procured on application to G. F. Tolly, L. P. Smith or P. K. McCully. The low price ought to induce a large attendance. Public addresses are to be delivered by Prof. J. H. Carlisle, of Spartanburg, Prof. J. P. Smeltzer, of Walhalla, and Rev. Samuel A. Weber, of Williamston, whose reputa? tion for ability and zeal in the temperance cause will doubtless attract a large crowd of visitors. The citizens of Williamston and surrounding country are especially invited to participate in this anniversary celebra? tion, and we understand that invitations have been extended to the members of the order throughout the County. All who can are expected to provide baskets of pro? visions. The Anderson Cornet Band has been secured for the occasion, which is a guarantee of delightful music. Every ar? rangement has been made to furnish the ut? most enjoyment, and we are confident that the programme will give unusual pleasure to those participating. The excursion itself will prove a delightful and innocent recrea? tion, while the feast of reason in store for the hearers will not fail to produce good re? sults. LECTURES OF THE NATIONAL GRANGE. It gives us pleasure to note the fact that Col. A. B. Smedley, of Iowa, who is the Lec? turer of the National Grange, has been in? duced to visit South Carolina in the dis? charge of his duties, and will devote the latter part of June to a short tour through the upper section of the State. His regular appointments conolude at Anderson C. H. on Tuesday, 20th of June, and we are confi? dent that a large audience will greet his ap? pearance in our midst. Col. Smedley by birth and education is a Northern man, and has been prominently connected with the Patrons of Husbandry since its inception as an organization. Occupying the distin? guished position of National Lecturer, we presume that he will impart desirable in? struction to members of the order, and give interesting details of its progress in the North. Hence, it will prove interesting and instructive for every member of the Grange, and we would urge every one engaged in agriculture to be present. Suitable arrange? ments will be made to accommodate a large audience. READING AND MUSICAL CLUB. The organization of the Anderson Reading and Musical Club has been completed, and the following officers elected to serve the balance of the present quarter: Prof. W. J. Ligon, President; James A. Hoyt, First Vice President; A. J. Watt, Sacond Vice President; W. W. Keys, Secretary and Treasurer; Louis Sharpe, Critic. The Ex? ecutive Committee is composed of Messrs. J. L'. McGec and W. S. Ligon and Miss Ida Brown. The meetings have been well atten? ded, and wc are gratified to know that the young people are becoming more interested in so pleasant and profitable employment of their time. The meeting on Tuesday even? ing last took place at the residence of Mr. S. Bleckley, and was largely attended. The usual programme was observed, and the Club adjourned to meet at the residence of Mr. J. A. Hoyt on next Tuesday evening. BRIEF MENTION. The proceedings of several Democratic Clubs were received too late for insertion in this issue. Our Honca Path correspondent states that some rust is reported in wheat, and that the oat crop has improved since the rain. Gen. Harrison has declined to serve as chairman of the delegation to Charleston, and has requested the delegates to meet and elect a chairman. A Lodge of Good Templars was organized at Easlcy Station on Thursday evening last by Thomas N. Bern,-, of Greenville, cm bracing more than twenty members. The delinquent land list which appears this week embraces a number of citizens, we understand, who tendered bills of the Bank of the State in payment of their taxes. The Governor has appointed Mr. B. F. Clayton to fill the vacancy in the Board of County Commissioners, occasioned by the death of Mr. Lcavell. We believe that Mr. Crayton has not yet accepted the position. Farmers are complaining of rust in wheat at this time. The rust is confined to the blade so far, and permanent damage is not anticipated. The oat crop looks promising, and recent rains will improve the prospect. We learn that Belton Division, Sons of Temperance, proposes to celebrate its first anniversary on the 20th inst., when a pic nie dinner will be given. Good speakers have been secured, and a very pleasant time may be expected. The Belton Minstrel Troupe will give an entertainment on the evening of the 20th inst., embracing a variety of interesting dialogues and excellent music. The per? formance will begin at 7J o'clock. Admit? tance for gentlemen, 50 cents; ladies and children, 25 cents. The Honca Path Democratic Club met on Saturday last, when addresses were delivered by Dr. W. f*. Brown, Mr. James A. Hoyt ami Rev. A. C. Stepp. A goodly number of members in attendance, and a resolution was adopted requesting Senator Cochnin to resign. The Club is in a flourishing condi? tion, and embraces nearly all the white men in the township. Wc learn that a man named Burns com? mitted suicide near Pratt's Mill, in the neighborhood of Due West, on Saturday last The rumor is that he made several efforts to get bread for his family, and on returning to his home, the cries of his chil? dren for bread unsettled his mind, when he took down his gun and shot himself. This is a most lamentable occurrence, if the re port be true. It is hard to believe that any community in South Carolina will dotty bread to starving children, where persons are able to relieve their suffering. RAILROAD MEETING. A meeting was held in the Court House on Tuesday evening last, in the interest of the Blue Ridge Railroad. On motion, Mr. James A. Hoyt was called to the choir, and Mr. E. P. Earle reques? ted to act as Secretary. The chairman explained the object of the. meeting as being to appoint delegates to represent the town of Anderson in the Railroad Convention which meets In Charleston on the 25th inst., and declared the meet? ing ready for business. Mr. Brock moved that a committee of five be appointed to nominate twenty delegates to the Charleston Convention, whicn motion was adopted, and the following committee appointed: J. A. Brock, W. W. Humphreys, Wm. McGu kin, W. S. Brown and A. B. Towers. The committee subsequently reported the names of the following gentlemen to act as delegates: O. H. P. Fant, S. Bleck ley, B. F. Crayton, N. K. Sullivan, W. W. Humphreys. John B. Watson, James L. Orr, E. P. Earle, B. F. Whitner, e. M. Rucker, S. McCullv, W. S. Sharpe, J. P. Reed. Wm. McG?kin. G. F. Tolly, P. K. McCully, F. C. v. Borstel, John McGrath, P. A. Wilhitc, John E. Brea zeale. After some discussion in regard to the names of additional delegates and the appointment of delegates from the coun? ty, on motion of John R. Cochran, Esq., the name of Gen. J. W. Harrison was added to the delegation already elected, and he was made chairman of the same. Capt. S. M. Pegg submitted the follow? ing names as additional delegates, which upon motion were accepted : C. A. Reed, R. S. Hill, Julius Poppe and A. T. Broylcs. Gen. Harrison moved that ten names be added from the country, and Mr. N. K. Sullivan moved to amend that the chair be authorized to appoint two dele? gates from each township, which amend? ment was accepted, and the motion adop? ted. Under tnis motion, the following delegates have been selected : Honea Path?Dr. T. A. Hudgens and Wm. Lee. Belton?Dr. W. C. Brown and A. J. Stringer. Fork?F. E. Harrison, and H. R. Van diver.

JAMES A. HOYT, Chm'n. E. P. Earle, Sec. For the Anderson Intelligencer. BEOADAWAY DEMOCRATIC CLUB, Messrs. Editobs: A regular meeting of Broadaway Club was held on Saturday last, and the following resolutions were adopted and requested to be published in the Ander? son papers: Resolved, That this Club make no nomina? tion of candidates for office as a Club, but leave its members untrammelled to act for themselves in the primary elections. A committee of three were then appointed to consider the case of our Senator, John R. Cochran. After consultation they made their report, and offered the following pre? amble and resolution, which were unani? mously adopted by a rising vote: Whebea8, John R. Cochran has failed to carry out his pledges, and betrayed the trust reposed in bun by members of this Club who aided in his election. Resolved, That we ask him to resign his office. Messrs. W. G. Browne, John W. Daniels and James H. McConnell being present were called upon and responded with short speeches, pledging themselves to abide by the result of the primary eloctions. A friend of Capt. T. P. Benson then stated that he was by him authorized to say that he would abide the same result. It was then agreed that this Club meet again at Wm. Smith's school-house on Saturday night the 27th of May, and that all the colored people in the vicinity be invited to attend. THOS. ERSKINE, President. L. E. Campbell, Secretary pro tern. SPECIAL NOTICES. The Scriptures say Naaman would not believe when told that to be cured of lep? 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 Hepatixe 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 stomach 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 all right?provided you pay the bill. If they guess wrong, you go to the graveyard?they go to their dinner. Merrell's Hepatine has cured 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. An Appeal to Parents. Parents, do you love your children ? Then preserve their health. Next to the blessing of life itself, is the enjoyment of perfect health. How many are stricken down in their infancy almost without, a moment's notice by that insidious disease, Croup, sim? ply through the neglect to be provided witli the proper remedy? The tender plant is nipped and withers ere it blooms. When the little sufferer has short, difficult, hoarse breathing, with a harsh, metallic cough, like coughing through a brass trumpet, there is no time to lose. Begin at once the use of Dk. Tutt's expkctoraxt, and the disease will readily yield to it. Always have it ready in the house, as this fatal malady re? quires the promptest treatment. It is very pleasant to the taste, and children take it readily. ^^^^^ Sensible Advice. You arc asked every day through the col? umns of the newspapers and by your Drug? gist tit use something for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint that you know nothing about, vou get discouraged spending money with but little success. Now to give you satisfactory proof that Greek's August Flowkk will cure you of Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint with all its effects, such as Sour Stomach, Sick Headache, Habitual Cos ti ven ess, palpitation of the Heart, Heart? burn, Water-brash, coining up of food after eating, low spirits, ekv.., we ask you to go to vour Druggists.
