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 <fe 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 exceedintjly 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 Townville, whereby two persons lost their . lives and several others were wounded. 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 Room 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, win be glad to learn that be has re? cently been elected Sheriff of Falls County, Texas. His success in the home of his adop? tion is no doubt' fully 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 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 Town ville on last Monday, were interred in the Pjesbyterian Church-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 81 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 mil 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 the 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 8enator 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 by some of our 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 buahels on the first of 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 cacta?, which blooms only in the night, and to be seen at its prettiest stage must be setup with until after 12 o'clock. The plant is a rare one, and .^quires 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 evening, 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 gronnds were brightly illu-. ruinated, 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. CABOLIKA COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE. The closing exercises of the Carolina Col? legiate Institute will tako 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 n >v 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 expended ? in getting up these entertainments to the accompb'shment 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 BARXSDALE 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 Bcauregard Gray told him oh yesterday evening to tell his father when he came that his mother wished bun to come over to her house. I told father what Beau regard said; I told father when he came home; he lit a lamp and started. I heard 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 na was killed till about day. ? his LUDY X BARKSDALE. mark SONS 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 quarter: A. A. Carpenter, Worthy Patri? arch; C. E. 0. Mitchell, Worthy Associate; J. A. Shirley, Recording Scribe; D. D. Gen? 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 upon and responded in a pleasant speech, urging the members forward in the ?ause 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 Elbcrton 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 modem invention in the prosecution of his business, patients can call on Dr. M. without fear of uutchery. 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 tune. SHOCKING CATASTROPHE. Two Persons Killed, and Eight others Wounded. Special Correspondence Anderson Intelligencer. Townville, July 4,1876. Messrs 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 which 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 seems 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 the 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 bursted, the sjeam 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!" Jost 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. W. A. D. FOSE 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. Tbe 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. 8. 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 rest lution 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 Ived. That we thank the Anderson Club for their polite and hospitable invita? tion to join them on the 4th, 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. There being no other business, the Club adjourned to meet again on the fourth Sat? urday in July. A. HUNTER, Pres. N. 0. Farmee, Sec. Special to Builders and Contractors ?

Sickness prevails everywhere, and every? body complains of some disease during tbeir 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 Cemplaint and its effects, such as Indiges? tion, Costivcness, Sick Headache, Sour Stomash, Heart Bunij 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 Cnre by Dr. Tntt's Ex? pectorant. We have been informed by Mrs. Williams, grand-daughter of Gen. Israel Putnam, that she suffered for 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 of Dr. Tutt" and for the sake of suffering humanity hope that it may become more generally known."?Christian Advocate. A CABD. 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: L 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 the 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, hut 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. JAMES H. McCONNELL. 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. JOHN CLINKSCALES, Pres. Jab. S. Beaty, Sec, pro. tcin. 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 living Flower 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.

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 be operated by a small child with ease, and brings the water fresher than any oth? er Pump. It is of stone, glazed 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.
