THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL, MATTERS. BSIEF MENTION. The supply of corn in the town of An? derson is exhausted, and our railroad com? munication is cut off, so that we cannot ob? tain it without much trouble. Howard's Scioptician Exhibition paid our town a visit on last Monday and Tuesday nights. The exhibition, we learn, was very good, bnt received a very small patronage. Mr. E. G. Murrah, D. D. S., announces in another column that he will be in Anderson on the 3rd of July, prepared to execute dental work in the most approved manner. See advertisement. Although there was no public celebration of St. John's Day in Anderson, there was a pleasant gathering of the fraternity in Masonic Hall on last Saturday evening. ' The attendance was a good one. Mr. S. TV. Sherard's mill dam on Little ? Generostee Creek was washed away by the .?freshet. It has, however, been repaired, and is now fh running order. The country on this creek was badly washed. The insertion of communications in the Intelligencer cannot be secured except by the author making known his name. The . init als will not be sufficient. No deviation will be made from this rule, under any cir .cumstances. The committee of arrangements of Le? banon Grange, No. 266, request us to an? nounce that the pic hie proposed to be given by their Grange, has been indefinitely post? poned, on account of the recent disastrous rains and storms. "We would call attention to the advertise mcnt of Messrs Richards <fc Wilson, in which they announce that the Pendleton Factory Wool Cards are now in operation. Persons wishing wool carded can be accommodated by carrying it to the Factory. They also have rolls and Factory Yarn for sale. See the advertisement of Messrs. J. <fc J. R. Wilson, in which they announce that they are now ready for wool carding at their mills near Williamston. They had their mill in running order for grinding wheat and com within two days after the freshet, affording their patrons a fine yield in quality and quantity. Capt. James A. Hoyt, of the Intelligencer, left on last Thursday for St. Louis, to attend the National Democratic Convention, which convened on the 27th instant. We hope he will return with a cheering account of the prospects of victory, under the lead of such a man as Samuel J. Tilden, of New York, for the Presidency. We regret to announce the death of little Eugene, son of Mr. W. H. Cater, whose death we announced but a short time since. The little boy was with his mother in At? lanta, and died of cholera infantum on the 22nd inst. His remains were interred be? side his father's grave in the Presbyterian cemetery at thit place. The Anderson Reading Club met last Tuesday night at the residence of Judge J. P. Reed, and elected the following offi? cers for the ensuing term: President, Prof. J. W. Ligon; Vice Presidents, A. J. Watt and Thos. F. Hill; Secretary and Treasurer, Henry Frierson; Critic, Capt. James A. Hoyt. The Club is in a flourishing condi? tion, and has about sixty members. The citizens of Anderson held their an? nual school meeting in the Court House on last Saturday. Mr. 0. H. P. Fant was call? ed to the chair, and Messrs. E. P. Earle and E. B. Murray requested to act ss secretaries. Mr. P. K. McCully moved that no local tax be levied, and after remarky in( favor of the motion by Messrs. J. E. Ereazeale and James L. Orr, the motion was adopted. The meeting then adjourned. There is to be a large fishing party on ?Rocky River next Saturday, to be composed of gentlemen and their faniihVs from An? derson and vicinity. We leain that they propose frying the fish they catch, but they propose to provide' against contingencies by (Mrrying a basket dinner. Evry one will be obligated to fish at least three hours, so there will be a severe infliction upon those who have poor luck. Much of the bottom land upon which corn was washed away in the recent freshet have been replanted, and the fanners are still busily engaged in replanting and re? pairing their damages. They have evinced a cheerfulness and energy in their misfor? tunes which is very highly commendable, and it is to be hoped their industry will reap an ample reward, and much of the damage be repaired by an abundant crop year. Mr. Martin S. McKay, who was for very many years a respected citizen of this Coun? ty, fell dead on the 20th inst. in one of Ids fields, near Carnesville, Georgia, whither he had removed a few years ago. He was an old gentleman, whose death will be regretted by the many friends he left in Anderson County, the place of his nativity. Squire McKay was widely known through the upper portion of the State as a reliable and careful surveyor. He was also in the service of the Blue Ridge Railroad as an engineer in the location and construction of a por? tion of the road. Our farmers have been so busily engaged in repairing their losses from the flood that the town has been almost deserted, and it has been difficult to obtain further particu? lars of the damage in this County. Both the bridges over Eighteen Mile Creek were washed away. The bridge at the Pendleton Factory, on Three and Twenty Creek, was also washed away, and the one on the Pen? dleton road over Six and Twenty v.as badly damaged. The lower bridge over Eighteen Mile Creek has been re-built and the one over Six and Twenty has been repaired. The Commissioners will have the crossings over all streams repaired as rapidly as circumstances will allow. Indeed, many of them have already been replaced or repaired. We are glad to announce that Mi.?s Emma Moore, daughter of Capt. James B. Moore of this town, has just returned from the Richmond Female Institute, at which excel? lent institution of learning she has been pursuing a collegiate course of study during the pastsession. Miss Emmaeraduited last year in the Carolina Collegiate institute, at this place, andthen repaired to Richmond for the purpose of extending her college course. She has now returned, to spend her vaca? tion at home, and brings with her the evidenco of studious habits and excellent attainments, in the form of diplomas in the schools of Moral Philosophy, English and Composition, Mathematics and Literature. In addition, she was awarded a beautiful gold medal, with the inscription, "/?. F. I. ?Spelling," on one side, and "Sen. Class? 1st Honor," on the other. These testimoni? als of proficiency are gratifying to her friends, and we extend our congratulations, hoping that her success in the future will bo 98 great as in the past. Special to Buildebs and Contractors.? Before "breaking ground" send to Mr. P. P. ToAi/e, of Charleston, S. C, for his complete list of Building Material, with prices attach? ed.

On the night of the twenty-second instant, Mr. Allan S. Barksdale went to the house of Mrs. Mary A. Gray, one of his tenants, and a difficulty ensued, which terminated in the death of Barksdale from a cut in the head by an axe. Trial Justice J. L. Bryant held an inquest over the body, and a verdict that the deceased was killed by an axe in the hands of Mrs. Mary A. Gray, in self defence, was rendered. Upon this, Mrs. Gray was committed to jail, and on Saturday last was brought before Trial Justices John E. Brea zeale and G. W. Hammond, upon Habeas Corpus. Gen. J. W. Harrison represented the State, and Maj. John B. Moore appeared for the prisoner. Mrs. Gray's affidavit set forth, that on the night in question Mr. Barksdale came to her house with a drawn knife, and threatened to cut her throat, be? cause she had taken a warrant for him be? fore J. L. Bryant, Esq.; that he then rushed on her; she gave back to tlie corner of her room; he followed and cut her; she \ got an axe and struck him twice; he cut her again; she tried to escape; he kicked her so that she fell, and he fell two; she got a hoe and struck him twice; he cut her about the face and neck, and swore he would kill her; she then got the axe and struck him a lick which killed him; as soon as he fell she sent for neighbors. No one was present except her little children. Doctors Scudday and Wilhite submitted af? fidavits that the cuts upon Mrs. Gray were from a knife or some sharp instrument. Mrs. Gray was bailed on her own recogni? zance in the sum of five hundred dollars, to appear for trial at the next term of Court for this county. HONEA PATH JOTTINGS. It has been reported in the papers that Erwin's bridge was- carried away. The west end, or about 140 feet, is gone?the east end is standing. If you remember there is an island in the centre, making it really too bridges. There was consiQerable damage to corn, &c., on bottom lands?much of it will have to be re-planted. This has been done in cases where the land has become dry enough. The people are working hard to overcome their losses. The damage to the wheat can? not be estimated until threshed, but it will be considerable. The Greenville and Columbia Railroad sent up five car loads of lumber to the break this side of Greenville this morning. The first that has gone up. CORRECTION. The Union Times contains the following mistake relative to the recent railroad dis? aster: Mr. James Wilson, the engineer who was killed by the accident on the Anderson branch of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, was well known and highly re? spected in this town and along the whole line of the Spartanburgand Union Railroad. For many years he was an engineer on our road, and lost his arm by the accidental dis? charge of a gun at Alston. Poor Jim, he deserved a better fate* The engineer was Mr. M. J. Wilson, a gentleman who has resided in this place for a number of years. He had never lost an arm. Hints ou Trestle Building. Messes. Editors.?The recent freshets causing such general damage to the bridges, &c, of this and the adjoining counties, which finally ended in the terrible accident at the Broadaway trestle, whereby five lives were lost and a large amount of property de? stroyed, call for some remarks upon the con? struction of trestles in this country. The "trestle" is eminently an American structure, and for bridges of small span is often preferred. There is no doubt that when properly made, it is a very good plan ?costing less time and money than others, but unless the following points are carefully attended to, is subject to destruction as in the Broadaway case: The first great care in building a trestle is to have good foundations for the benches to rest on. These foundations should be of piles, driven to a depth of fifteen or twenty feet, according to the quality of the soil where the trestle is to be located, or excava? tions made and filled up with masonry, or even a dry wooden wall in the excavation filled with rocks, is far preferable to the present practice. The next point for con? sideration is the timber. It should be well seasoned, and every mortice ere receiving its tenon should be filled with coal tar or some such preservative against moisture and its consequent rot. Now, these two simple pre? cautions would prevent most of the acci? dents we so frequently have to lament. Most builders will object to the piles for foundations as being too costly; but any engineer can fit guides on the trestle he has erected in which to work the driver and drive the necessary number alongside the "mud sill." After they are driven, cut them off to the proper height, move 3 our benches on them, wedge up tight and the thing is done. Let us now look at the present way of erecting a trestle. The timber is cut in the woods,-carried to the mill, and in the course of a few days is framed into a trestle, proba? bly its location is some narrow gorge in one of our creeks, that with a few hours rain be? come a torrent. The "mud sills" (verily they are well named) are placed on the mud at best earth, and in some cases of extraordi? nary precaution, a few plank or old sills are placed under them. In the meantime, the timber has partially dried and shrunk. What is the consequence ? Every tenon is too small for its mortice, and only for the weight on them or the pin through, it would drop out. In this fix a freshet comes. The mud (at best earth) soon washes out from under, a raft of trash forms against the bench leg, or a log strikes it, carrying away one bench, perhaps two or three to keep it company, and the next train which comes along goes down, and the whole country is horrified with the loss of life. People say, "who would have thought water could do so much harm?" It was not the water alone that was to blame, but also the culpable negligence of the builder. Well, I suppose we must put up with the loss of a few lives occasionally, until some one becomes inter? ested enough in the matter to try what a little legislation would do for it. What if our able representatives tried it. E. X. E. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Anderson, June 29, 1876. Messrs. Editors: I make it a rule not to an? swer communications over a fictitious signa? ture; nevertheless, -I deem it my duty to ' reply to one published in your last issue, under the caption of "Catching at Straws," and signed "Temperance." In reply, I will for the edification of "Temperance" and his informant, state that I am not, have not been, and will not be a candidate for re-elec? tion as Intendant for the Town of Ander? son for the next term. This was well known to my friends several weeks ago. Having served for many years upon the Council, I am ready to resign the position to others. I shall never be found "opposing the elevation of the colored people, who have always stood by me," (so long as they remain law-abiding citizens,) for any reason, cause or office, great or small. I will favor and advise their joining a Temperance So? ciety when I am convinced that it is one in fact; one that by its constitution and by? laws provides for the moral elevation of all men, regardless of race or color. This new "Order" or "Fountain" does not do this. Hence my opposition to it. JOHN R. COCHRAN. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Messrs. Editors : As a member of the Democratic part)', I desire to throw out some few suggestions for the consideration of the party in this County. I do not propose to ask questions at the hands of those who are to seek our offices, or, suggested for office by thoir Democratic friends; but that the public should be fully posted -before the primary election takes place, I suggest that the Executive Com? mittee for the County prepare a list of ques? tions, and ask each candidate to answer, to the end that'Democrats may be well posted as to the position of each candidate who ask their suffrages. I have heard it intimated that some candidates are to be invited to run for office?first for nomination, and if they fail in this, they are to run. But I verily be? lieve this rumor or speculation had its origin in the Radical ranks, from whence all the corruption, chicanery, rascality and want of integrity spriugs. I cannot believe that any true South Carolina Democrat can be so devoid of principle aad honor as to act with such duplicity. Disseminating such principles is not the spirit of our organiza? tion, but positively at war with it. No man can become a candidate for office in the Democratic ranks unless he is a member of some one of the Clubs, and should not be supported by any member of the Club un? less he first declare that he will not, under any circumstances, be a candidate unless nominated by primary election. When any people are degraded to degradation itself, as we have hcen for the last eight years, and been trampled upon and insulted, amid con? tinued promises of reform, can any man who has the least shadow of honesty left in his bosom hesitate to become aggressive and resolute, and with solid ranks, and a firm determination, go forth to purge our State and County from the corruption that is now preying upon its verv vitals, or like the Spartans nobly perish in the faithful dis? charge of our duty. Then, to be timid and refuse to come squarely to the front, is to deny the justice of our cause; and more, it is to wink at corruption itself. Then, let the County Executive Commit? tee prepare, and in the name of tbe'party they represent, require the answer of all candidates, to the end that all may know for themselves the position they occupy, and to put a quietus to this rumor, which I believe originated with the opposition, to throw discord in the Democratic ranks. Any candidate who will falsify his answer, or connive with his friends to do it for him, or permit them to do it, or what is worse than all, will make terms with the enemy to defeat the nominees of his own party, is more corrupt, more devoid of principle than the most debased Radical that is now gloating over the destruction of our coun? try, and he will and shall be remembered and recognized, now and hereafter, as a hypocritical Radical. Our Club constitutions bind every mem? ber to a faithful support of the nominees, to which he is pledged, and from which he is not to depart. Then, to depart is to falsify, deceive and xaake himself as bad, as sinful, and unreliable as any man dare to be in the Radical ranks. I have no doubt but all the candidates will be ready to answer all questions pro? pounded by the Executive Committee, for we believe all agree that the cause of the State, the common mother of us all, is greater than the cause of any candidate; and if any candidate should be disposed to bolt from the nomination, it will be the pleasure of the Democratic party to teach him a lesson, by ignoring him politically for all time to come. In conclusion, brother Democrats, let our principles be as firm and unalterable as the laws of the Medes and Persians. A. J. WATT. WILLIAMSTON DEMOCRATIC CLUB.

Botany is a division cf natural science which treats of plants, and a study of Vegetable Phisiology must be the foun? dation of botanical knowledge?a study only possible 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 aud 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._ Sir John Franklin. History possesses fewer examples of more heroic bearing and self-sacrificing efforts for the advancement of the material interests of mankind than that exhibited by this noble martyr in his exertions to make a discovery which if accomplished would open to the world advantages beyond computation. But how insignificant are geographical dis? coveries, when compared with those that benefit the human organization, showing how in this life enemies may be vanquished, how the brain may be invigorated and ren? dered capable of grasping the most abstruse questions, whether scientific, commercial or mechanical. This can never be the case while the body is enfeebled by disease. The blood must be healthy, all machinery of body must be in perfect working order, otherwise the brain is weak and total in compctency to grasp the great issues of life is the result. Such a discovery has been made by Dr. Tutt in his celebrated Liver Pills. They have accomplished more good to the human family than could ever have been attained by the success of Sir John Franklin. TO CANDIDATES ANS THEIB FBIENDS. Wc 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 wc trust every one will give especial attention to this require? ment, and not expect any relaxation of the ruie 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.
