THE INTELLIGENCER.
LOCAL MATTERS.
BRIEF MENTION,
The Democratic Club of Martin Township
at their last meeting made no suggestions
for County officers, and endorsed the action
of the Executive Committee upon the sub?
ject of primary elections.
We would call attention to the law card
of Messrs. Orr & Tribble, which appears
elsewhere. These are young gentlemen of
fine abilities, and we predict for them much
success in their profession.
The Fourth of July was celebrated by the
young people of Hopewell Township by a
social pic nie, given by the scholars of Mr
M. J. Holt's school. It was an exceedingly
pleasant affair, as all who were present give
expression of very much enjoyment.
Rev. L. M. Ayer interested the Baptist
congregation on last Sabbath with a sermon
upon the subject of the Centennial, in its
bearing upon religion. He preached for
Rev. J. S. Murray, who was unable to offi?
ciate in consequence of an attack of erysipe?
las.
We are requested to announce that the
Young Ladies' Mission Society, of the Pres?
byterian Church, will have ice cream on sale
at No. 3 Benson House, next door to Lewis
? & Co's store, on next Friday afternoon, at
4 o'clock. The patronage of the public is
respectfully solicited.
Several portions of our County were visit?
ed with a very heavy rain on last Friday
morning before day light. Many of the
smaller streams were as high in consequence
of it .as they were during the heavy freshet
of the week before. The damage, however,
was not near so great.
We are much obliged to our valued cor?
respondent, "W. A. D.," for the prompt
manner in which he has furnished us a full
account of the fatal engine explosion at
TownviHe, whereby two persons lost their
. lives and several others were wonnded. His
articles are always interesting.
We are requested to announce that Dr.
W. C. Brown will address the Broadaway
Democratic Club at Neal's Creek Grange
Boom on Saturday next at 2 o'clock p. m.
Messrs. John B. Moore and E. B. Murray
have also been" invited to be present. A
full attendance of all the citizens of the
Township, irrespective of color, is requested.
The many friends and relatives of Mr.
John M. Jolly, who was formerly of this
County, will be glad to learn that he has re?
cently been elected Sheriff of Falls County,
Texas. His success in the home of his ad op?
tion is no doubtfully merited, for he was a
worthy and energetic citizen while a resi?
dent of Anderson County.
At a meeting of the citizens of the school
district for Rock Mills Township, on Satur?
day the 24th inst., an additional tax of one
mill was levied for school purposes. We
learn that a very commendable interest is
taken in the cause of education in this
Township, and the common schools are
doing a good work and are well conducted.
We were glad to meet Mr. T. C. Robinson,
of this town, in our office on last Tuesday
morning. He has just returned home from j
Wofford College, where he graduated last
week at the head of a class of twenty-one
students, having obtained the degree of A.
B. in that institution. We wish him very
much success in whatever profession he may
engage in the future.
The remains of Mr. R. P. Welch, the
young man killed by the engine explosion
at Townville on last Monday, were interred
in the Pjresbyterian Cburch-yard on yester?
day morning. Solemn funeral rites were
conducted by Rev. D. E. Frierson. Mr.
Welch leaves quite a number of relatives
and friends, who mourn his sad and un?
timely death.
Dr. Barker, of Lincolnton, N. C, has
been lecturing in the Court House every
evening this week, at 8} o'clock, upon the*
subject of Phrenology. His lectures are at?
tracting very large audiences, and he has
succeeded in inducing very many persons to
believe there is something in it as a science.
His lectures will continue for some even?
ings yet. Admission is free.
Capt. T. P. Benson, School Commissioner
of this County, requests us to announce
that the public schools will be opened on
the 17th of this month. A statement of
the amount of school funds for this County
will be published as soon as the County
Treasurer receives the balance promised by
the State Treasurer, which is one-fifth of
the remaining one-third due this County.
Much complaint is made about backward
crops this year in Anderson County. The
cotton crop has been much later than usual,
and is a full week later in blooming than it
was last year. We are glad to learn, how?
ever, that it has been improving very rapidly
within the last two weeks, and many of our
farmers are beginning to be hopeful of a
good yield this fall.
At a meeting of the citizens of the school
district for Varennes township, Col. J. C.
Haynie was called to the chair and Dr. R.
E. Thompson requested to act as Secretary.
It was resolved not to levy any tax for
school purposes, and a resolution was passed
asking for teachers of a higher grade of at?
tainments, or for none at all. The common
school system to be effective should have
none but thoroughly competent teachers.
The merchants of Anderson have made
arrangements to have freights wagoned to
and from Central at a reasonable rate, so
that they will be independent in the future ;
of this railroad. There is very little freight
to or "from Anderson at this time, but the
wagoning business will proceed in earnest
when the fall trade sets in. The merchants
of Pendleton will doubtless join in the move?
ment.
The Flat Rock Democratic Club met on
the 24th of June last, and was addressed by
James L. Orr, Esq. The Club endorsed the
action of the County Executive Committee
in reference to the time of holding the pri?
mary election. They also passed a resolu?
tion complimenting Messrs. Orr, Vandiver
and Simpson, and recommending them for
another term. The Club adjourned to meet
at 2 p. m. on the fourth Saturday in July.
The Greenville and Columbia Railroad
Company has, for the last week, been deliv?
ering freights to this point by wagons from
the break in tbe road at Broadaway trestle.
Where the freights were received before the
break they have been delivered without ad?
ditional charge to the consignees, but the
wagon charge of fifteen cents per hundred
pounds will be added to the regular rates on
all goods shipped to this point before the
road is in running order again.
On last Saturday, the 1st of July, the first
cotton blooms of the season were sent us.
In the morning Willis Redmond, colored,
sent a white bloom, taken from his field,
and in the afternoon Joseph Lee, colored,
brought us a red bloom from his field, on
Senator Cochran's farm near town. This
puts Joe ahead on the bloom question, so far
as we have heard in this County. We are
glad to see a commendable interest in agri?
cultural industry displayed bysomeofonr
colored citizens, and hope that their ex?
ample will be followed by more of their
race.
We are requested to announce that the
Democratic Club of Savannah Township
will meet as usual on the second Saturday
in July, at its accustomed place, at 2 o'clock
p. m. In consequence of the recent freshet
and the trouble and busy labor imposed
upon the farmers by it, the contemplated
basket dinner will be dispensed with. All
the members of the Club and the citizens of
the neighborhood are requested to be
present.
Mr. D. S. Maxwell is, as far as we have
learned, the champion of the County in
raising Irish potatoes. He gathered about
forty buthels on the first q/ July from a
patch of one-eighth of an acre. He is pre?
paring to re-plant the same patch and raise
a second crop this .season. With a yield in
any reasonable approximation to the first
crop, the profits from potato culture will be
very much greater than from any other
crop.
We had the pleasure of seeing a flower of
the night-blooming cereus at the residence
of Mr. D. S. Maxwell on last Thursday night.
It is a beautiful flower of the genus cacte,
which blooms only in the night, and to be
seen at its prettiest stage must be set up with
until after 12 o'clock. The plant is a rare
one, and requires much care and attention
during a portion of the year. The one of
which we speak is very fine, and blooms
every year, having three blooms upon it this
season, two of which have already opened.
The public appreciate the polite invitations
so generally extended to witness the bloom?
ing. A large number of gentlemen and
ladies went at various hours of the evening
to see this nocturnal beauty.
We had the pleasure of attending a very
charming private entertainment, consisting
of charades, dialogues and songs, last Mon?
day evenrig, given at Mr. S. Bleckley's-, by
a few of the young people, all of whom
acquitted themselves admirably, showing a
very decided dramatic talent. We must not
omit to mention a fourth of July oration
from our genial host, which was a very
pleasant and amusing addition to the per?
formance. The grounds were brightly illu?
minated, furnishing a delightful promenade,
of which the young people availed them?
selves, making it resound with their merry
talk and laughter, so that the time for good?
night and departure arrived altogether too
soon.
The Anderson Democratic Club will meet
in Masonic Hall on next Friday evening at
5 o'clock p. m. It is to be hoped'that every
citizen of the town will be present, as busi?
ness of importance will be presented for the
consideration of the meeting. It is also
probable that Capt. Hoyt will be present,
and can give an interesting account of the
St. Louis Convention. The meeting should
also take steps to procure a large mass meet?
ing of the citizens of the County at some
convenient time, to ratify the nomination of
Tilden and Hendricks; not because it will
do the national ticket any good, for it does
not depend upon our assistance, but because
it will be beneficial to us in our County and
State canvasses.
CAROLINA COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE.
The closing exercises of the Carolina Col?
legiate Institute will take place in the Insti?
tute Chapel on the evenings of 12th, 13th
and 14th inst.
The evening of the 12th will be devoted to
the reading of original compositions by the
young ladies and declamation by the young
men.
On the evenings of 13th and 14th will be
presented a series of elegant plays, both in
English and German, selected with a view
to the amusement and entertainment of the
audience.
A small entrance fee of fifty cents for
adults and twenty-five cents for children
under twelve years of age will be charged
on the last two evenings, the proceeds of
which will go to furnish the Institute with
such school furniture, apparatus and fix?
tures as are now much needed, and would
greatly facilitate the acquisition of a liberal
education. We feel that our citizens, if
they will take a proper view of this matter,
will not regard it as any unjustifiable inova?
tion upon the time-honored custom of mak?
ing such exhibitions free; but as a laudable
effort to turn the time and labor expended1
in getting up these entertainments to the
accomplishment of some good, as has been
indicated above. We hope therefore that
you will not be loath to lend your generous
aid by your constant and prompt attend?
ance.
THE BARS 8 DALE HOMICIDE.
In our last issue we published the testi?
mony of Mrs. Gray before the Trial Justices
upon application for bail in this case. Since
that time the testimony taken before the in?
quest has arrived, and we deem it but just
to publish the testimony of a little son of
the deceased, which would go to justify his
father in going to the house of Mr. Gray,
where he was killed. We wish simply to
present the facts of this case to the public
without any comment, as anything which
can be said about it is at best simply a
speculation. The deposition spoken of is
as follows:
Ludy Barksdale being sworn, saith that
Beauregard Gray told him ob yesterday
evening to tell his father when he came that
his mother wishes him to come over to her
house. I told father what Beauregard said;
I told father when he came home; he lit a
lamp and started. I beard hallooing in the
direction of Mr. Gray's; I took the gun and
went down to the fence; I heard no more
and went back, and did not know pa was
killed till about day.

80NB OF TEMPERANCE.
At a meeting of Broadaway Division, No.
78, Sons of Temperance, held Saturday even?
ing, July 1st, Past Worthy Patriarch A. J.
Watt, assisted by Deputy Grand Worthy
Patriarch J. N. Vandiver, installed the fol?
lowing officers to serve for the ensuing

arch; C. E. 0. Mitchell, Worthy Associate;

try, Assistant Recording Scribe; B. F. Cul
berson, Financial Scribe; W. P. Kay, Treas?
urer; A. L?ngsten, Chaplain; Silas M.
Major, Conductor; W. P. Holland, Assist?
ant Conductor; J. A. Elgin, Inside Senti?
nel; Strather Kay, Outside Sentinel.
After the installation ceremony, Mr. Watt
was called npon and responded in a pleasant
speech, urging the members forward in the
?rase of temperance. His address was re?
ceived with repeated applause.
A CARD.
Messrs. Editors : My name has been sug?
gested by the Williamston Democratic Club
for the office of County Commissioner. I
am not nor will I be a condidate for any
office in the approaching canvass. I appre?
ciate the kindness and partiality of my
friends, and return them my thanks for the
confidence they repose in me.
J. WILSON.
Dr. E. G. Murrah, whose card appears
elsewhere, has arrived, and has rooms at the
Centennial Hotel, where he will remain for
a limited time. Speaking of him the Elber
ton (Ga.) Gazette says:
This accomplished doctor of dental sur?
gery reached Elberton last week, as per an?
nouncement, supplied with a perfect outfit
of instruments of the very latest designs to?
gether with the most approved appliances of
modern invention in the prosecution of his
business, patients can call on Dr. M. without
fear of butchery. He has evidently studied
to secure success in his business, and he pro?
poses to do this by inducing his patrons to
call a second time.
SHOCKING CATASTROPHE.
Two Persous Killed, and Eight others
Wounded.
Sptcial Correspondence Anderton Intelligenter.
Townville, July 4,1876.
Messes Editors: Before this account
reaches you, you will have heard of the
fatal catastrophe which has taken place here,
and as the reports which you may have al?
ready received might be vague and imper?
fect, it is desired that you be furnished with
a correct and minute statement of the un?
fortunate occurrence and its distressing
effects.
The engine of the steam thresher of
Messrs. J. B. Holcombe and G. W. Burns
exploded under a pressure of 200 pounds
steam, whilst in operation on the premises
of Mr. Holcombe in this place, at 9 o'clock
yesterday morning, killing a negro man out?
right and inflicting injuries upon the
engineer, Mr. Pat. Welch, from w-hich he
died in about an hour and a half. Eight
other persons were either seriously or slight?
ly injured by flying fragments of the ex?
ploded engine. The engine was thrown to
nearly a perpendicular height of twenty-five
feet, passing directly over the thresher, turn?
ing a complete somersault in the air, and
fell in a corn patch at a distance of a little
more than a hundred feet from where it was
stationed.
It seeifcs almost incredible that such an
immense weight could be hurled upward
with such tremendous force, and yet it was
the work of an instant. The engine is
nearly a complete wreck, while the thresh?
ing machine is greatly damaged. There
was very little water in the engine, and the
belts had been detached in order that the ex?
cessive head ot steam might be reduced;
but before the engineer, who was a little
way off, could reach his post, a negro man,
a sort of apprentice, commenced pumping
water into the engine, which at once caused
the fatal explosion. The engineer was
thrown twenty or thirty feet with much
force by the escaping steam, and fell among
tbe debris of a fence, which the force of the
steam had demolished. He was badly
scalded, and, as he was just beside the en?
gine when it bnrsted, the sjeara struck his
chest with such force as to produce a fearful
contusion, which alone, the doctors say,
would most probably have caused death.
His skull was also fractured, and it is
thought he could not have survived this.
But the most horrible wound he received
was in the left groin, which had been
pierced by a piece of metal, probably not
larger than a minie ball, yet the flesh was
frightfully lacerated. His left arm was
broken just above the wrist. He appeared
to retain consciousness to within a short
while before his dissolution, and would
often call imploringly: "For God's sake,
men, raise me up; I'm choking, I'm burn?
ing up! 0, Lord, have mercy on me!"
Just a few moments before his death, as if
conscious of its near approach, he turned
his head away and uttered a half audible
prayer, to hear which brought tears to the
eyes "of strong men. He was not known to
inquire for his relatives. Drs. Page, Brown
and Sharp were present soon after the disas?
ter, and did timely service in dressing
Wounds. All efforts were employed to pro?
duce a reaction in Mr. Welch's physical
system, but without avail. His relatives
are here and will take his remains to An?
derson for interment. Mr. Burns, one of
the proprietors, received a severe cut on
the back of the head, but is not regarded
serious. Mr. Holcombe, the other partner,
escaped even the slightest injury.
Their engine (six horse-power) was built
at the Erie City Iron Works, Erie, Pa., and
was entirely new. The thresher, also new,
was made at Buffalo, N. Y., the make known
as "Buffalo Pitts." The outfit cost $1,350.
Messrs. Holcombe & Burns are men of
sterling industry, honesty and integrity, and
in their sudden misfortune have the deepest
sympathy of the whole community.

FORK DEMOCRATIC CLUB.
The Club met according to previous ap?
pointment, President Hunter in the chair.
On calling for new members, thirty-one
names were enrolled.
Attention of the Club was called to the
fact that the Club was without a member in
the County Executive Committee, and J. P.
Brown declining, to serve further on the
Committee, as he had been put in nomina?
tion for office, Mr. M. Palmer was chosen.
The names of the following persons were
submitted and nominated for office:
Judge of Probate?W. W. Humphreys.
Clerk of Court?John W. Daniels.
Sheriff?W. T. Grubbs.
County Commissioners?John C. Gantt,
0. H. P. Fant and Col. C. S. Mattison.
President Hunter gave notice to the Club
that it had received an invitation to a pic nie
to be given by the Anderson Club. The
following preamble and resdution was then
adopted:
Whereas, this Club has received an invi?
tation to meet with the Anderson Demo?
cratic Club in a social pic nie on the 4th of
Julj next; and whereas we have also been
notified that the time for holding the same
on account of the late disastrous freshet,
and the fearful railroad tragedy of Broada?
way,

Club for their polite and hospitable invita?
tion to join them on the -/Mi, and heartily
sympathizing in the feelings that prompted
the postponement of the meeting, assure
them that their action meets our cordial
approval.
The following resolution was also adop?
ted:.
Resolved, That this Club endorse the action
of the County Executive Committee in re?
gard to the time of holding the primary
election.

Is Your Life Worth 10 Cents I
Sickness prevails everywhere, and every?
body complains of some disease during their
life. When sick, the object is to get well;
now to say plainly that no person in this
world that is suffering with Dyspepsia, Liver
Ceniplaint and its effects, sucn as Indiges?
tion, Costivcness, Sick Headache, Sour
Stomash, Heart Burn, palpitation of the
Heart, Depressed Spirits, Biliousness, &c,
can take Green's August Flower without
getting relief and cure. If you doubt this,
go to your Druggists, Wilhite & Williams,
and get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try
it. Regular size 75 cents. Two doses will
relieve you.
An Important Cure by Dr. Tutt's Ex?
pectorant.
We have been informed by Mrs. Williams,
grand-daughter of Gen. Israel Putnam, that
ahc suffered fur many years with Asthma,
accompanied with great difficulty of breath?
ing. Indeed, she says, it prevented her
from lying in a recumbent position, and
often suffocation appeared inevitable, for
which she used Tutt's Expectorant. The
relief was so great that she was encouraged
to persevere in its use until every vestige of
the painful disease was entirely removed.
"We can not speak too highly of this val?
uable preparation ol Dr. Tutt, and for the
sake of suffering humanity hope that it may
become more generally known."?Christian
Advocate.
A CA ED.
Anderson, S. C, July 4, 187G.
To the Editors of the Intelligencer:
There have been various rumors, put in
circulation throughout this County against
me by. designing men, in the hope of de?
terring good men from supporting me.
Therefore, to refute these malicious and un?
truthful slanders, I desire to declare my
principles to the Democrats of this County,
and let them judge whether or not I am the
man to fill the Sheriffs office:
1. I propose to stand by and support the
nomination of the Democratic party in this
County, whether I am successful, or some
one else is; and he who pretends to be a
Democrat and would do otherwise, is but
"a wolf in sheep's clothing," and a more
dangerous enemy to the Democratic party
than tltc most influential Radical.
2. I have never affiliated with the Radical
party in any way whatever; and although
there is no probability of my receiving their
nomination, still I should indignantly re?
fuse to run on their ticket were they to
nominate me.
3. I ask only a fair and square vote at the
primaries, not only for my own interest,
but for the interest of our party, so that all
may be satisfied, and the voice of the peo?
ple obeyed; and to this end I suggested and
strongly advocated the reorganization of
the Democracy before a single Club was
formed, and the Editors of this paper will
bear me out in this among others.
4 He who says or insinuates that I am,
or ever have been, a Republican, utters a
malicious falsehood, wilfully and knowing?
ly, and I here brand him as such, and ap?
peal to those who have always known me
and my record to bear me out.

HALL TOWNSHIP DEMOCRATIC CLUB.
The Democratic Club of Hall Township
met at the Carswell Institute on Saturday,
July 1st, for the purpose of placing candi?
dates in nomination for the primary election
for County officers, but after some discussion
it was decided to postpone action until the
next regular meeting of the Club, which
takes place on the first Saturday in August
at 9 o'clock a. m. A resolution was passed
respectfully inviting all aspirants for office
to bo present for the purpose of giving an
expression of their political views to the
Club. All persons interested in an honest
and capable government are also solicited to
be present at this meeting.

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 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 and Bowels; a perma?
nent cure for Dyspepsia, Indigestion.
Spleen, Constipation, Jaundice, and all
Billious Complaints. Of course we can?
not send a livingFlower of this Plant to
all who read of Hepatine; 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 Hepatine Flower.
The Medicine, MERRELL'S HEPA?
TINE, for sale by Simpson & Sadler,
Anderson, S. C, and will cure all diseases
of the Liver.

THE BEST P?IP [N THE WORLD
"VTOTHING conduces more to GOOD HEALTH than PURE WATER. Such is fur
nished by the
DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP,
Manufactured by J. C. Nichols & Bro., Atlanta, Ga., which brings the water pure and fresh
from the bottom of the well. No slime or filth collects on the pump or in the well. No
snails, worms or green moss gets about the water. It is free from rust or other impurities,
and can he operated by a small child with ease, and brings the water fresher than any oth?
er Pump. It is of stone, glased inside and outside, and never will decay. It improves the
water beyond a doubt by ventilating the well, and keeping it like a moving stream of
water. With a hose attached, it becomes a good fire-engine, ever ready at your door to
extinguish the flames in case of fire. It is better and cheaper than insurance. Its work?
ing gives complete satisfaction, as those acquainted with it will testify.
It is a home enterprise, permanently established, and relies on its own merits, upon
which it asks your patronage. This Pump is represented in Anderson and adjoining
Counties, together with the Counties of Hart and Elbert in Georgia, by
alonzo l. welch,
Anderson C H., S. C.
Send in orders at once for Pumps, and they will be delivered and put in immediately*
