proved by re-plastering and re-painting,
according to the plans agreed upon.
Mr. William Vandiver, Sr., of Franklin

We learn that^B. F. Crayton, Esq., has

recently tendered him to fill a vacancy by
<Gtov. Chamberlain. Mr. Craytou's private
engagements, we understand, will not per?
mit him to serve at this time.
The anniversary celebration of the Philo
sophian Society, Furman University, will be
held in the University Chapel on to-morrow
(Friday) evening, May 26th. President,
Geo. W. Gardner. Orator, R. A. Sublett.
Essayist, J. H. Morgan.
Wheat has not been injured to any great
extent by the rust, which is confined to the
Made, so far as we can learn. 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?

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.
The commencement exercises of the Caro?
lina Military Institute will take place next
month. Gen. John S. Preston, of South
Carolina, will deliver the annual address

debted to the Superintendent, Col. J. P.
Thomas, for an invitation to be present.
We would again remind owners of horses
and mules that the town ordinance prohibits
these animals from running at large
through the streets at any time. 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

key was released from castody. The Abbe?

of the grand jury meets With universal
approval in that community.
Rev. A. W. Lamar, General Agent of the
State Mission Board of the Baptist denomi?

family burying-ground among their kindred
dust of several generations. The funeral
services took place on Monday, 15th inst.
Dr. Evins made a public profession of faith
in the Presbyterian Church of Spartanburg
two years ago, and frequently expressed his
readiness for the change from this world to
the realization of hopes in a better land.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
