THE INTELLIGENCER
LOCAL MATTERS.
TO CANDIDATES AND THEIR FRIENDS.
We desire to remind candidates and their
friends that all nominations for office are
required to be paid in advance. The charge
is Five Dollars for each name, inserted in
the usual manner, and we trust every one
will give especial attention to this require?
ment, and not expect any relaxation of the
rule for personal or political reasons. It is
also necessary to direct general attention to
the published rates of advertising, which
fixes the charges upon personal communi?
cations, as it is necessary to state that articles
intended to advance the claims of particular
candidates are classed under this head,
whether written by themselves or their
friends.
BRIEF MENTION.
We are indebted to Mrs. W. W. Hum?
phreys for early cucumbers and beets of
mammoth size for the season.
. The world-renowned showman,'Old John
Robinson, writes that he will visit Anderson
with his Great World's Exposition during
the month of November next.
The ordinance regulating the meat mar?
ket has been repealed by the Town Council,
and there is no restriction in regard to sell?
ing meats in the market or elsewhere.
The summer commencement of the Wil
liamston Female College occurs to-day. A
number of young ladies from Anderson
went over yesterday to attend the exercises.
The devotional meeting of the Young
Men's Christian Association was largely at?
tended on Sabbath afternoon. These meet?
ings arc producing a good effect in the com?
munity.
A note from the physicians in attendance
informs us that the statement received here
last week in regard to the cause of Mr. John
R. Moseley's death was erroneous. He died
of general congestion.
We are pained to chronicle the death of
Viola and Lora, twin children of Mr. and
Mrs. W. F. Barr, of this town, aged six
months. One died on Tuesday afternoon
and the other on Wednesday morning from
cholera infantum.
The distress among the citizens of Beau?
fort and Colleton is represented as alarming.
Other communities are asked to give relief
to the starving, and we will take pleasure
in forwarding all contributions to the proper
source. Our people are better off than any
other portion of the State, we believe, and
those charitably inclined will never miss a
small donation to the suffering citizens of
the low country.
The weather for the past few days has
been bleak and dreary, more nearly resem?
bling the fall season than mid-summer.
The wind has been from.the oast and north
east, and almost constant rain fell on Mon?
day and Tuesday, swellingthe streams con?
siderably, and doubtless doing much damage
to the grain crop just harvested and remain?
ing in the fields. As we go to press, the
sky is clearing and fair weather is expected.
The young farmers are exhibiting a com- j
mcndable desire to place themselves ahead
this year, and it is encouraging to know
thnt they are working energetically all over
the country. Mr. D. D. Gentry, of Broada
way Township, brings us specimens of his
cotton crop, which give evidence of careful
and intelligent culture. Some of the plants
measure nearly sixteen inches, with nine and
ter. squares on each plant. Our young
friend deserves commendation for his efforts.
Mr. J. E. Peoples left on Monday after?
noon for a brief visit to Macon, Ga. He is
the agent for the upper part of South Caro?
lina of Messrs. R. Findlay Sons, of Macon,
manufacturers of the I X L Cotton Gin,
which is the old Griswold Gin under a new
name. This firm also manufactures the
Eclipse Cotton Press. Mr. Peoples proposes
to sell these machines during the present
season to the farmers of Anderson and sur?
rounding counties, and we are confident he
will exert himself to give satisfaction to all
customers.
The Charleston News and Courier states
that the GreenviUe and Columbia and the
South Carolina Railroads have made exten?
sive arrangements to accommodate all ex?
cursionists to the Fort Moultrie Centennial
at reduced rates of fare, and the rates from
the various points along the line of railroad
will shortly be published. Excursion tick?
ets from Greenville to Charleston and re?
turn will be sold for $8. We learn that the
railroad authorities declined to charter
trains for the use of excursionists, on appli?
cation being made from this place.
W> 8- Brown, Esq., Trial Justice and
acting Coroner, held, an inquest on Friday
last upon the body of John Smith, who was
drowned the day previous in the mill race
at Anderson's Mills, eight miles northwest
of this place. We learn that the deceased
was enfeebled and emaciated, and it is
thought he was attempting to drink water
from the race, when he was seized with
vertigo, and was drowned in consequence,
as he was found with his face in the water,
which was not more than a foot deep. He
was a stranger almost in the community,
and it is believed that he came from Rabun
County, Ga., where he has a wife and chil?
dren living. The verdict of the jury was
accidental drowning, in accordance with the
fads above stated. The deceased was about
forty-three years of age.
IMPROVED AGRICULTURE.
The officers of the Anderson Farmers'
and Mechanics' Association accepted the
invitation of the President, B. F. Crayton,
Esq., aud spent a most agreeable day upon
his farm on Saturday last. The visitors
were taken upon a tour of inspection around
the farm, and were highly gratified to wit?
ness the substantial progress and improve?
ment manifest in every direction. The
chief attraction for that day, however, was
the harvesting of the wheat crop, and the
excellent work performed by the Reaper,
under the skillful guidance of a German
laborer, attested the economy and desira?
bility of improved machinery for the devel?
opment of agriculture in this country. Mr.
Crayton is the pioneer of many improve?
ments in farming operations, but we have
always imagined that his public benefac?
tions were costly experiments to him as an
individual. Yet, we are satisfied that his j
present plan of operations will yield a pro- \
Stable return in the increased value of his
farm, and there is no doubt that the intro?
duction of improved machinery and reliable
labor will give him decided advantages.
Mr. Crayton has expended large sums of
money in this direction, and yet he is not
visionary or theoretical in his ideas. The
practical results are to be seen in the vastly
improved condition of his farm, which will
rank with any in the up-country. Indeed,
the grjun crop just harvested is generally
conceded to be the best in this vicinity,
while the growing crops of corn and cotton
are equally good. As our readers know,
Mr. Crayton has none but German laborers
upon his farm, and they are under his per?
sonal supervision. He gives them wages
for their work, and supplies their families,
with wholesome food. None of them are
troubled in regard to the sustenance of life,
and all of them are contented and indus?
trious,
RIFLE COMPANY.
The young men of Anderson organized a
Rifle Company on last Monday, with sixty
three members. The following gentlemen
were elected officers: P. K. McCully, Cap?
tain; J. Baylis Lewis, First Lieutenant;
J. D. Maxwell, Second Lieutenant; John
R. Williams, Third Lieutenant. It is
thought that the name of "Palmetto Rifle
Club" will be selected, and it is intended to
uniform the company at an early day. It
has been suggested that Abbeville, Green?
ville and Anderson unite in forming a bat?
talion, and meet once a year to contend for
prizes in drilling and target-shooting, which
would create greater interest among the
different companies. The suggestion is a
good one, and we hope to hear from Green?
ville and Abbeville that it is favorably re?
ceived.. If the young men need any assis?
tance towards procuring arms and equip?
ments, we trust the citizens of Anderson
will promptly respond to their appeal.
COL. SMEDLEY'S LECTURE.
Messrs. Editors : Will you permit me to
announce to the Patrons of Anderson Coun?
ty and to the public generally, that arrange?
ments have been effected whereby Col.
Smedley, the Worthy Lecturer of the Na?
tional Grange, will visit this County under
the auspices of the Pomona Grange, and
will deliver an address at Sandy Springs on
the evening of the 19th of Jnne after the
arrival of the cars, and one also at Anderson
C. H. on the 20th of June, at 11 o'clock, at
such place as the committee may designate.
Messrs. W. W. Russell, J. B. Adger, jr.,
and Maj. T. B. Lee are appointed a commit?
tee of arrangements at Sandy Springs.
Messrs. J. W. Norris, W. W. Humphreys,
J. A. Hoyt, J. B. Watson and J. W. Prevost,
with such others as the chairman may
appoint, are appointed committee of arrange?
ments for Anderson C. H.
It is earnestly desired by the Pomona
Grange that the members of the Order,
especially, will consider the benefits to be
derived from this the first grand gathering
of the Patrons in the County, and as many
as possibly can will come out, that the Lec?
turer may have an audience worthy of the
occasion. The ladies are also especially re?
quested to grace the occasion with their
presence, and to bring with them the ever
acceptable grange basket.
We are aware the time is not propitious
for such celebrations, but the presence of the
Lecturer could only be obtained at this time.
Col. Smedley is from Iowa, one of the far
Northwestern States. If he can come so far
to speak to us words of encouragement,
surely we can give one day to meet and hear
him, besides one day in a lifetime given to
recreation and social intercourse will not be,
can not be, considered as a loss.

Pendleton, June 9th, 1876.
A REMARKABLE DREAM AND ITS FUL?
FILLMENT,
Some time prior to the year 1844,1 have
been told, West Allen Williams, Esq., had a
very strange and singular dream?before the
town of Williaraston, S. C, was laid out,
or any one had even thought of a town
springing up in that quarter.
It seems that Esquire Williams, who then
owned a considerable portion of the lands
in and around the present town of William?
ston, and who was also a resident at the
time, was out one day with his rifle hunting
for wild turkeys, if I mistake not, and be?
coming wearied and tired from his ramblings
through dense swamps and briars which
.then abounded near the banks of the little
stream which runs through the centre of
our town, he sought the shade of a friendly
pine that stood near, and sat down to rest
himself a while. After having rested for
some time in that position, he began to feel
sleepy, and concluded that he would lie
down and rest right. He very soon fell into
a sound sleep, and dreamed that he saw a
spring of sparkling, pure mineral water
gushing forth out of the swamp; that in a
short time quite a number of shops, houses
and churches were erected around said
spring; that the iron horse soon came charg?
ing by with his shrill whistle echoing from
hill to hill, and gladdening the hearts of the
people; that a town soon sprang up around
the spring, and that in process of time the
town increased and became a place of some
note in the world.
But the 'Squire awoke, and soon found
that his beautiful little town with all of its
shops, dwellings, churches, schools, etc., etc.,
was nothing but a fanciful dream of the
imagination.
So much for the dream, which I have re?
lated as it was told me to the best of my
recollection?several years having elapsed
since I first heard it. And now as to its ful?
fillment.
When our noble and kind-hearted dream?
er awoke, he was feeling very thirsty, and
started off through the swamps toward the
creek, which was hard by, in search of water
to slake his thirst. But just before reaching
its banks he discovered a small stream of
water, resembling some kind of mineral
water, as he imagined, wending its course
towards the banks of the creek. Being de?
sirous to test the matter, he soon traced this
little stream to its source, scraped out a
kind of basin in the mud and sand, letting
it fill with clear water so that he could taste
it. He did so, and to his amazement and
joy it really had to him a strong taste of
some kind of mineral. He afterwards had
the water analyzed, (with whose properties |
th$ public are already acquainted,) and it
even proved to be as he had imagined.
In order to have this wonderful dream
further fulfilled, as it had thus far been real?
ized by this philanthropic and generous gen?
tleman, he at once set his energies, both of
body and mind, to work. Parties, balls
and barbecues were given to bring the peo?
ple together in order that they might con?
sult and interchange their views one with
another. After the town was surveyed and
laid off, Esquire Williams presented lota to
various persons, on condition that they
would improve them. A lot was given the
Town Council for the benefit and protection
of the spring; another for the benefit and
us? of the Greenville and Columbia Rail?
road, and others likewise for the benefit of
the churches, provided they were not to be
used for grave yards or places for interring
the dead; others still were sold at low fig?
ures to any and all desiring to buy.
West Allen Williams, Esq., in honor of
whom the town of Williamston, S. C, took
its name, was a very generous and charita?
ble gentleman, and although not a professor
of religion, yet he always opened his doors
to all ministers of the gospel, and gave
them of the best in his shop. The poor he
never sent empty away, but was ever kind
and hospitable to all.
And, now, in regard to this remarkable
dream and its fulfillment, of which I have
been writing, it is useless for me to say any
thing more at present, as it has already been
seen in the sequel of the town of
WILLIAMSTON.

THOS. ERSKINE, President.
J. B. Carpenter, Secretary.
Messrs. Editors : In your issue of the 1st
instant are published the nominations made
by the Fork Democratic Club, and amongst
others my name appears f County School
Commissioner. I thank my neighbors for
this public expression of their confidence
and good-will, and I accept the nomination.
I have lived so retired a life on my farm for
the last eight or ten years that I am almost
entirely unknown to the younger voters of
the County, outside my own immediate
neighborhood, and as it is impossible for
me to canvass the County at this busy sea?
son of the year, I must beg a little space in
your paper to record my sentiments.
The people have very wisely determined
that those who expect their suffrage shall
declare thoir political views. Formerly,
this was deemed unnecessary in aspirants
for office non-political; but at this time it is
clearly necessary that party lines, in our
County at least, should be strictly drawn,
that the Democracy may have an opportu?
nity of showing to the world that they are
not in league with those who have brought
such wide-spread ruin on the people, and
such humiliation and disgrace on the good
name of the State.
To those who are well acquainted with
me, it is unnecessary to say that I am a
Democrat, and that I have never for a mo?
ment wavered in my fidelity to the party,
or the great principles of which it is the
exponent. Its teachings are a part of my
education, and faith in its ultimate triumph
a part of my creed.
Now that the passion and prejudice en?
gendered by the great civil strife are subsid?
ing, the people throughout all the land are
longing for the return of that party to power,
which, for so many years of peacp, prosperi?
ty und honor, guided the policy and directed
the councils of the State and Nation. They
will speak out in the fall elections in tones
not to be misunderstood, and Anderson
County will be no laggard in the great work
of regeneration. With the party so thor?
oughly organized as it is in this County;
witli the people so profoundly impressed as
they arc with the importance of casting the
Democratic vote as a unit, there can be no
reasonable doubt as to the result of the final
election in November.
Any individual preference we may have
amongst Democratic candidates must be ex?
pressed at the primary election, as after that
election we will know no candidates except
those who have been chosen by a majority
of the party as their standard bearers.
As promises made my candidates for po?
sitions of trust are not at a premium just
now with the good people of the County, I
will simply say that if called by my brother
Democrats to the responsible position for
which I have been named, I will show my
appreciation of their kindness by discharg?
ing my duties faithfully, and in such a man?
ner as to give my friends no cause to regret
having trusted me.
Respectfully,
J. P. BROWN.
i)jcncca Home, June 10,1876.
Messrs. Editors : I see, unexpectedly, my
name announced for School Commissioner,
but a proper appreciation of a compliment
bestowed does not, in this instance, I hope,
make it a public duty to yield to the solici?
tation of friends. It does not suit me very
well to accept the nomination, as I wish to
be devoted principally to tho occupation of
farming. I therefore respectfully request
my name withdrawn, with many thanks to
the kind friends who have thus seen proper
to nominate me.
J. PERRY GLENN.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
A Flower that Changes its Color.
Botany is a division of natural science
which treats of plants, and a study of
Vegetable Phisiology must be the foun?
dation of botanical knowledge?a study
only possib le by the improvements in the
microscope and in organic chemistry. As
plants are not scattered haphazard over
the earth, botanical geography must be
studied, and, with this, plant-history.
Botany will be applied to the wants of
every-day life, as in Agriculture, Horti?
culture, or Medical Botany. Animals
often exhibit a marvelous instinct in se?
lecting medicinal herbs, and an observa?
tion of their habits has often, even in the
present time, led to most valuable discov?
eries. And should man, with his knowl?
edge and appliances, fail to discover less
than the brute? It is of Medical botany
we would speak, or of the HEPATINE
PLANT, discovered in Southern Nubia,
the Flower of which changes its color
with every change of the atmosphere.
The remarkable changes and variations
of this Plant and Flower have been for
years our special study, resulting in the
discovery of its possession of wonderful
medical properties, the existence and
value of which have heretofore been en-!
tirely unknown to'medical science. Af?
ter much labor and scientific investiga?
tion, we have succeeded in extracting its
peculiar medicinal principles, which is a
specific and cure for all diseases of the
Liver, Stomach and Bowels; a perma?
nent cure for Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Spleen, Constipation, Jaundice, and all
Billious Complaints. Of course we can?
not send a living Flower of this Plant to
all who read of Heparine; but to all who
will send their address to Merrell &
Couden, Philadelphia, Pa? with a three
cent stamp for return postage, we will
send Free a fac-simile of the Flower,
that will change its color just the same
as the real Heparine Flower.
The Medicine, MERRELL'S HEPA?
TINE, for sale by Simpson & Sadler,
Anderson, S. C, and will cure all diseases
of the Liver.
Popularity.
It is a self-evident fact that unless a per
! son possesses sterling worth he will not have
I the esteem of his fellow-men. It is true,
that for a time he may deceive, but eventu?
ally his faults will be exposed.
This is applicable also to articles recom
| mended to the confidence of purchasers.
I For a brief period by false commendations
! and glittering exterior, they impose on the
people, but as soon as tested they are cast
aside. The test of ten years has proven the
intrinsic worth of Dr. Tutt's Hair Dye,
and to-da}' no preparation enjoys greater
j popularity. From year to year the demand
for it has increased, and now it is in general
use both in this and foreign countries. No
stronger proof of its value could be given.

Sensible Advice.
You are asked every day through the col?
umns of the newspapers and by your Drug
E'st to use something for Dyspepsia and
iver Complaint that you khow nothing
about, you get discouraged spending money
with but little success. Now to give you'
satisfactory proof that Gr~ csfa August
Flower will cure you of i^spepsia and
Liver Complaint with all its effects, such as
Sour Stomach, Sick Headache, Habitual
Costiveness, palpitation of the Heart, Heart?
burn, Water-brash, coming up of food after
eating, low spirits, <tc, we ask you to go
to your Druggists, Wilhite & Williams, and
get a Sample Bottle of Green's August
Flower for 10 cents, two doses will relieve
you._
Good Taste.
In nothing do men and women show
their possession of this quality, or the want
of it, so much as in the appearance of their
homes. People of good taste and judgment
in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida and Alabama, patronize Mr. P. P,
Toale, of Charleston, S. C, who supplies
the best doors, sashes, blinds, newels, cor?
nices, Ac, and the best paint to make them
beautiful. Also, plain and ornamental glass
