The oat crop continues to improve, and an excellent yield is anticipated. Farmers report fine stands o?cotton from almost every section. The Town Council has instructed the police authorities to notify all citizens that due regard must be paid to sanitary regula? tions, and the police force is empowered to in? spect the premises of each citizen to ascertain whether or not the same is kept cleanly and free from unusual impurities. On Tuesday morning we received a call from Mr. W. 8? Fr?ser, general traveling agent of the Charleston Journal of Cornmerce, who is canvassing the up-country in the interest of that popular and deserving news? paper. Mr. Fr?ser is a genial and courte? ous gentleman, and we are pleased to know that he has met with gratifying success. The largest, finest and most luscious "strawberries we have come across this season were sent to this office-on Thursday last by Mrs. A. B. Towers, to whom we return many thanks for the kind attention. The success of Mrs. Towers in this line ought to encourage others to cultivate this splendid fruit.

Many per-' sons doubtless imagine that the ordinance relates to only a particular season of the year, which is an entire mistake. The safety of children makes it imperative that the ordinance be enforced. The case of the Singer Sewing Machine Company against Daniel Cumiskey was before the Court of Sessions in Abbeville last week.

CENTENNIAL EXCURSIONISTS. Many of our people are making enquiries in regard to the different routes and rates of transportation to the Centennial Exhibition. One of the most popular routes is known as the Atlantic Coast Line, which has arranged to offer unequalled inducements to excur? sionists, guaranteeing economy of expendi? ture and the most pleasant, convenient modes of transit. The tickets arranged by the Atlantic Coast Line are good for sixty days, and afford a choice of several routes, by which parties desirous of visiting differ? ent sections of the country can be accommo? dated, and those who prefer can travel by railway going and return by water. The railroads included in this line are in excel? lent condition, and the rolling stock superb and complete in its equipments, giving every assurance of ease, comfort and luxury that can be attained through the use of elegant coaches of the latest" style. The steamships are substantial and commodious, and the fare equal to the best hotels in the country. Further and more definite information can be secured on application to A. Pope, Esq., general agent of the Atlantic Coast Line, Wilmington, N. C. H? DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY ELECTION. The Central Executive Committee of the Democratic party of Anderson County met at the office of the Anderson Intelligencer on Friday last, for the transaction of impor? tant business relative to the pending cam? paign. There was a good attendance of members, including the representatives of fifteen Clubs. The County Chairman ex? plained the object of calling the Executive Committee together at this time, and the members entered upon a free and mil con? ference in regard to the time and manner of holding the primary election, which had been ordered by a majority of the Demo? cratic Clubs as the most suitable plan for nominating candidates for the various offices. After an interchange of opinion amongst the members, in which the differ? ent suggestions were thoroughly considered, the following resolutions were adopted by the Executive Committee: 1. That the primary election be held on Thursday, 19th of October, 1876, in every Democratic Club of the County, and that the managers count the result and report the same to the County Chairman, on Fri? day, 20th day of October. 2. That the highest number of votes re? ceived by the candidates for every position shall entitle them to be declared the nomi? nees for the respective offices. 3. That all persons enrolled as members of Democratic Clubs will be entitled to vote in the primary election. The County Chairman was authorized to make public the foregoing resolutions, for the information and guidance of Demo? cratic Clubs. The reports from the members of the Executive Committee show that the enroll? ment of members in the subordinate Clubs continues to increase, and that at present there are not less than twenty-three hun? dred members on the rolls of the Demo? cratic party. Only a few colored men have joined the Clubs up to this time, but there are encouraging signs in certain localities for a considerable accession of colored vo? ters, who are willing to unite with the Dem? ocrats, in order to bring peace, plenty and prosperity to the State, and relieve all classes from the incubus of exorbitant tax? ation. The Executive Committee declared by resolution that it was inexpedient to carry out the instructions of the County Conven? tion in regard to a celebration on the Fourth of July. The meeting was exceedingly harmonious in its conclusions, and the ac? tion in regard to the primary election was made unanimous. Alf EXCELLENT PUMP. Our readers are familiar with the adver? tisement of the Double Acting Stone Force Pump, which has appeared in our columns for the last several months. Having tested this pump for a considerable time, we are prepared to give it our hearty endorsement and express perfect satisfaction with its working. Our well is forty-six feet deep, and a small child can raise the water with perfect ease. This is what the company guarantees, and it is undeniably true, as has been amply proven in our experience, where children under five years of age work the pump with more facility than they could draw an empty bucket with a windlass. A small colored girl, only five years of age, pumps all the water for washing purposes with the utmost ease. This pump is made of pulverized granite, glazed inside and out? side, and cannot give the water any bad taste, from the feet that the water comes from the bottom of the well. There is nothing more essential to good health than pure, clean water, and the constant agitation by means of this pump acts like a running stream, preventing green moss, slime or filth of any kind frgni getting about the water. Of course, proper attention must be given to the covering of the well to prevent the ingress of impure or foreign substances, and when this is done in the right manner, there is no uneasiness felt in regard to the presence of children about the well. The agent for the Stone Pump, Mr. Alonzo L. Welch, understands his business in setting these pumps into the water, which must be done carefully and intelligently, and we are satisfied that his arrangement of the pump will stand the test of time. Many of our citizens are using these pumps with the hose attached, and they are delighted with the security against fire which is afforded by the hose attachment. We, have no hesitation in recommending their use to all in want of a great convenience and durable appendage to the comforts of domestic life. DEATH OF MR. W, H. CATER. We are pained to record the death of Mr. William H. Cater, lately a resident of Charleston, which occurred at the residence of his brother, Mr. E. B. Cater, on Thursday afternoon, 18th inst., in the 35th year of his age. Mr. Cater had been confined to his room for nearly three months, and was a great sufferer for the most part of the time. He was a native of Anderson, and the eldest son of the late Dr. A. P. Cater. He was twice discharged from the army of the Con? federate States on account of feeble health, and after his last discharge engaged in the drug business in this town, which he con? tinued for several years after the war. Of late he has represented the drug house of Dowie &, Moise, of Charleston, and was traveling for that firm when he was at? tacked by his last illness. His kind and accommodating disposition gained for him many friends, who will deplore his untime? ly death. He was a member of the Presby? terian Church for seven or eight years, and gave strong evidence of acceptance and sal? vation through the Saviour. Mr. Cater leaves a wife and five children, with numer? ous relatives and friends, to mourn the loss sustained by this afflictive dispensation of Providence. His remains were buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery on Friday after? noon. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Bethany, 8. C, May 13,1876. Messrs. Editors: Our Democratic Club met this day, was called to order by the President and proceeded to business. The following preamble and resolution was moved by several members of the Club who voted for John R. Cochran for Senator: Whebeas, the object of the Democratic party is to reform the State government, which can only be done by getting corrupt men out of office, and honest and compe? tent men in their places; and whereas Sena? tor John R. Cochran, of this County, has deceived many of the good citizens, by mak? ing professions of reform, which he has not kept; and whereas we recognize in Senator Cochran a man totally unfit to reform pub? lic abuses. Therefore, be it Resolved, That this Club request Senator John R. Cochran to get down and out of the office which he holds to the detriment of his constituents, to the end that the citizens of this County may elect a Senator who will truly represent the people in the much needed reform in the County and State. The preamble and resolution were unani? mously adopted. R. F. SIMPSON, President. L. Newton, Secretary. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Mesabs. Vandiver, Simmon and Obr : Will you, if nominated by the Democracy of Anderson County, consent to serve again in the State Legislature? I think it impor? tant that you should give an early answer, as the report has been circulated in some localities that yon are unwilling to serve. A DEMOCRAT. For the Anderson IntcUige'ncer. BELTON DEMOCRATIC CLUB. The Belton Democratic Club met at Belton on Saturday eveningt May 13th, according to adjournment of our last meeting. The President called the meeting to order, and declared the body ready for business, when the minutes of our last meeting Were called for, read and adopted. On motion, our President, W. C. Brown, was requested to give an account of the proceedings of the Democratic State Convention, which recent? ly met in Columbia, of Which he was a member. He arose and gave a very inter? esting and encouraging account of the Con? vention. He spoke at some length, stating that the Democratic party was being well organized, and was confident and fully de? termined to win at the coming election. His remarks were well received and ap? plauded by all present. On motion, it was agreed that at our next meeting, which will come off the second Saturday in June, we will suggest candidates for Connty offices to be submitted to the primary election for nomination at the proper time. The follow? ing preamble and resolution were then of? fered and unanimously adopted : Whereas, the object of the Democratic Sarty is to dust from office the corrupt and ishonest scallawags and carpet-baggers who are now disgracefully filling the high posi? tions in the State, and to elect honest, com? petent and decent men in their places; and whereas Senator Cochran, of this County, has betrayed every trust that has been com? mitted to him, and obtained his office by deceiving many of the good citizens of this County with professions of reform, which we believe he knew he did not intend to keep; and whereas we recognize in him a man whom we believe to be devoid of truth, and capable of any mean and low act, and one who has done more to injure the County than any other one man, and has brought Soverty and disgrace upon us. Therefore, eit ? Resolved, That this Club request John R. Cochran to withdraw from his office of Sen? ator, and retire to private life, in order that the people of this County may elect a decent Senator, who will not have his own aggran? dizement and pockets, but the good of the people at heart, and who will not be a dis? grace to the County. On motion, the Secretary was rquested to send a copy of the proceedings of this meet? ing, together with the preamble and resolu? tion, to the Anderson papers, with request to publish the same. Adjourned to meet the 10th of June next. W. C. BROWNi President. Jas. W. Poore, Secretary. For the Anderson Intelligencer. THE PIC NIC AT BELTON. Messrs. Editors : With your indulgence, I desire to occupy a space in your columns with a description of the pic nie at Belton, on the occasion of the celebration of the first anniversary of the Division of Sons of Temperance at this place. Saturday, the 20th instant, was the day set apart by them for this celebration, and you may be sure that it was looked forward to by the young people with anticipations of much pleasure and enjoyment. From eight to ten o'clock in the morning young people, and old ones, too, could be seen coming from every direction, some on their way to the Masonic Hall to unite in the procession, which was to be formed there, others on their way to the grove around the Presbyterian Church, where the pic nie was to be had, and in a short time the grove was resounding with the merry voices of the happy youngsters. At about ten o'clock, a large procession, composed of the members of the Order, marched from the Masonic Hall to the grove, and increased the already large crowd not a little. They took their position around the stand which had been erected for the officers and speak? ers. After a short prayer by the Chaplain, Dr. W. C. Brown, of Belton, was introduced as the orator for the occosion. He chose "The evils of intemperance" for his subject, which he treated in the following order: First, intemperance is an evil in our country, because, in the first place,'it robs our pockets, it being one of the causes of high taxation; secondly, because it helps not a little to fill our poor houses, asylums and penitentiaries. Second, intemperance affects us socially, morally and religiously. He spoke at some length of its effects in the home circle. Third, if intemperance is such an evil, what is the best method of correcting it? The temperance societies the best method, and sure to succeed if persevered in. Mr. Tolly, of Anderson, was next intro? duced, and delivered a short address upon the "Temperance Society." He spoke of it, first, as the stepping stone to the church; secondly, traced its history from 1840 to the present time, and spoke of the benefits it has brought about; thirdly, that notwith? standing the Order has accomplished much, there is yet much to be accomplished, and those enlisted under the banners of the tem? perance cause should take new courage and redouble their efforts; fourthly, how the ad? vocates of temperance are to conquer intem? perance ; first, by letting the world see that they are in earnest, and live up to what they profess; secondly, by parents instilling the principles of temperance in the minds of their children; thirdly, by not only acting on the defensive, but by invading the ranks of the enemy, and persuading them to unite with the Order. He concluded with the hope that Belton Division would be fore? most in the good work. The speeches were well received, and did much credit to the speakers. A plentiful repast was now spread upon the table, and all were invited to partake. We need not occupy your space with a de? scription of the dinner, for it will suffice to say that the good ladies of Belton and sur? rounding country displayed their accus? tomed skill for which they are so much noted in preparing it; but in this connec? tion we cannot forbear mentioning the con? duct of our County Treasurer and of our worthy townsman, A. J. S-, who, after eating from one end of the table to the other, came across a quarter of a goat, cooLed to suit their taste, and here they halted until thoy had devoured the last mouthful of meat on the bones. The con? sequence was that S- was unable to at? tend church the next day, while our Treas? urer could be seen hobbling about with his stick, scarcely able to get along at all. Dinner being over, young couples might be seen paired off in every direction ; and, if we can judge from their countenances, we would say many sweet words and tender professions were interchanged. Those who were so fortunate as to be thus paired off, congregated in the school house to partici? pate in a game, called by church members "Steal Partners," but by the world dancing. Thus ended the day, long to be remem? bered by our two esteemed townsmen, and the young people of Belton and adjoiniug country. C. M. W. POMONA GRANGE. To the Pomona Grange of Anderson County: AT a call meeting of the Pomona Grange, held at Anderson C. H., on the first Saturday of the present month, it was agreed that another call meeting bo held on the first Monday in June, and the Master was required to give notice to that effect. I therefore give notice that a call meet? ing of the Pomona Grange of Anderson County will be held at Anderson Court House, in the Grange Hall, on the FIRST MONDAY in JUNE next, at 10 o'clock a. m. Matters of interest to the entire Order will be discussed, for which rea? son it is to be hoped that all the mem? bers will be present. The Grange will be called to order promptly at the hour appointed. R. W. SIMPSON, M. P. G. May 18^ 187? 44 2 [advertisement.] To the Democratic Clubs who have asked He to resign my Position as Senator of Anderson County. Gentlemen : Pour years ago, although my political principles were well known, arid although the Democratic -majority in our CoUnty at that time was well ascertained, I was elected ahiong Others to a seat in the' House Of Representatives of this State. Two years ?g?. after a spirited canvass, i Was elected by a handsome majority to repre? sent the County of Anderson as Senator; and now it is with some surprise that I an: met with resolutions from a few of the Democratic Clubs of this County, requesting mo in plain and emphatic language to re? sign, claiming as a reason for their acts that I have not kept my pledges and have failed to effect the reform promised. I only un? dertook when I was elected to do and ac? complish whatever one could do in such representative bodies. That I have done my whole duty I am willing, ready and anx? ious to prove to the unprejudiced and hon? est voters of this County. As I have said, I was surprised at your action. First, at your ignorance of the facts, and utter disregard for truth when you state that I have not advocated measures of re? form. Secondly, in this that yod, but a few of whom voted for me, should, through preju? dice, ask for and almost demand my resig? nation. Thirdly, because you pass by and ignore the many measures I have introduced look? ing to good government, and to a fair rep? resentation of the minority in this State. Fourthly, that you, but a small number of the Democratic Clubs, and representing but a small part of the voters of Anderson County, should assume to judge of so great a question as to whether a Senator should resign his post at your behests. Fifthly, that In so summary, xccklcss and unjust way, that you undertake to judge and deposo one holding a high and honora? ble position withont asking for or hearing any explanation or defense of his public acts or conduct, so contrary to the democrat? ic principles you pretend to represent. I cannot believe the good, and true, and con? sistent men of y??r party will Countenance or defend it. I ask no quarter. I beg no indulgence. Upon my own conduct and political course in office, upon my measures introduced, my earnest work, my votes, fairly, impartially, and justly j'idged, I rest my defense, not only before you who have so hastily and unjustly judged and condemned me, but before all the people of Anderson and the State. No amount of personal abuse or vitupe? ration or persecution, on account of my political principles, shall or will drive me from what I consider my plain duty to the people of the State, in quietly advocating and earnestly working for an honest, just and economical government, always having a due regard and respect for those who diner with me as to the best means of securing it, as well as for the rights and privileges of the now minority; and by all the means in my power attempting to secure to such minority a just and fair representation in the General Assembly of this State from all the Coun? ties, not caring whether this may be accom? plished by legislation, or by an honorable understanding between the parties, so that the result may be attained. Whatever the captious or extremists of either side may do or say, I confidently believe that the time is not far distant when there will be a full and fair understanding between the voters of this State, white and colored, and that each will vie with the other only in the most practical means to obtain the best and most prosperous government. In this way only, can I see the approach to what all the good and true men of the State seem so anxiously to desire, viz: an honest, just and economi? cal government, in which all classes and interests shall bo fairly represented. For this I have given my time, my energy and whatever capacity I have been endowed with. I could do no more. I have been judged and condemned by a few, it is true, without being heard; but I propose to meet even these at the very threshold and throw down the gauntlet and demand the proof of their assertions; and to make and determine the issue, I openly and publicly make the following proposi? tion: That a committee of three, composed of two honest, upright, fearless Democrats and one Republican be appointed, who shall thoroughly examine the Acts, Journals and Bills of the General Assembly for the last eight years, with persons and papers if nec? essary, and if I have not, during the four years I have served, originated, introduced and secured the passage of more measures looking to good government in South Caro? lina, and to reform the abuses that existed at the time of my election and since than all the Democratic members in both Houses of the General Assembly since reconstruc? tion, then I will resign; but if the commit? tee, after thorough investigation, find to the contrary, then I shall refuse to gratify those extremists whose personal and political hate is of such a nature that it would stoop to any means to accomplish its design. I do not make this issue for political purposes, but it has been forced upon me, and in self defense I throw down the gauntlet. I have no quarrel to make with any one because he is a Democrat, nor "do I impugn the mo? tives of those who through misrepresenta? tion have been induced to join in this spite? ful and unmanly persecution of me solely in order that a vacancy may be created for those whom the people well know are polit? ical place-seekers. I ask no favors of you, gentlemen of the Clubs. All I want is strict, impartial investigation and a just verdict. You cannot refuse me this, and claim longer to carry out a semblance of the principles of the Democratic party. I am not willing for men to sit in judgment on my acts, whose sole recommendation con? sists in belonging to a Democratic Club; men whose political stock in trade consists in ignorant and bigoted prejudice against all who oppose them. I ask, yea, I demand it as my right, that the men selected be above suspicion, and that the Democrats be mem? bers of your Clubs?men who did not vote for me or in the slightest manner aid or counsel me in my political course. In order to facilitate this matter, I respectfully sub? mit the name of Maj. B. P. Whitner, a gentleman whose high standing, integrity of purpose, fealty to the Democratic party and well know legal abilities, no one questions. Also, that of Col. Jesse W. Norris, who is equally well known to the people of Ander? son County as a high-toned, honorable man, or, if you think proper, Col. C. S. Mattison, or W. J. Ligon, Esq., or A. R. Broylcs, Esq., or W. H. D. Gaillard, Esq., in his stead men whose honor and integrity arc above reproach.. I deem it quite essential that a majority of the committee be men well versed in the law. I therefore ask my friend, Col. Warren D. Wilkes, who is a Republi? can, to serve on the committee with the Democrats chosen. I have the honor to be, gentlemen, re? spectfully, your most obedient servant, JOHN R. COCHRAN. ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE.?All per? sons having demands against the Es? tate of James L.
