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

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.

ment was accepted, and the motion adop?
ted. Under tnis motion, the following

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.

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. Williite it Williams, and
get a Sample Dottle of Green's August
Flower for 10 cents, two doses will relieve
you.

IN consideration of the scarcity of money, I have put down prices to the following
remarkable, unheard-of low prices:
BOOM SUITS, consisting of Dress Bureau, Bedstead and Washstand, from $1G.50 up?
wards. With four Chairs, Rocking Chair, Table and Towel Racks, (complete suits of ten
pieces,) from $24.00 upwards.
SOLID WALNUT SUITS, consisting of high head-board French Bedstead, Deck Dress
Bureau, (five drawers,) and Washstand, from $30.00 upwards. With four Walnut Chairs
and Walnut Rocking Chair, from $40.50 upwards.
GOOD COTTAGE BEDSTEADS, hard wood, not pine, reduced to $1.00. Without slate
and castors, to $3.50.
Good Washstand, with drawer and towel end, reduced to $1.50.
Good Tin Safes, with two doors and drawer, $5.00.
The celebrated Kentucky Double-wove Cane Scat Chairs, varnished or painted, warrant?
ed to be the strongest Chair made, at ninety-live cents apiece. Rocking Chairs, of the
same kind, at $1.40 apiece.
These prices arc no ketch-pennies, but all my goods are at the same low figure. I have
on hand a large Stock of Furniture of all kinds and description, which will be sold
cheaper than can be bought from anvbodv else or any other place. Come and see TOLLY
and he will do you right. HE WILL NOT, OR CANNOT BE UNDERSOLD.
