DEATH 07 W. H. ALEXANDER
The reaper has again visited onr commu?
nity, and removed from us a useful citizen,
a kind husband, a devoted father, an affec?
tionate friend, and a promising young man.
Mr. William N. Alexander had for some
time since been suffering from an attack of
chronic diarrhea, but bad not been consid?
ered dangerously ill until on last Thursday
the approach of the reaper was foreseen, and
on Friday afternoon at about half-past 3
o'clock, his spirit passed from earth.- Du?
ring his illness he was watched over and
cared for.witfi the greatest anxiety, both by
the skill of medical atten dants, and by the
tender solicitude of a wife, but' nothing
could be done to arrest tbe conqueror. <
Mr. Alexander had excellent business at?
tainments, and from the position of a'clerk?
ship a few years he became the junior mem?
ber of the firm of N.. K. Sullivan <fc Co.,
one of the best busin'ass houses in Anderson.
He was originally from Oconee County, but
has been a citizen of this place for the last
eight years. In I8.73 he was united in mar?
riage to Miss M-Aria, daughter of the late
Col. Daniel Led .better, of Pickens County,
and by bis dea th leaves a devoted wife and
interesting daughter to sustain' the sad be?
reavement of Ms early demise. He had not
reached his twenty-seventh year when he
was removed from the dear and sacrei rela?
tions he iiad assumed but. three years ago.
Hie death is regretted by all who knew him,
fo r Ms was a nature which made no enemies.
On Saturday afternoon the stores of the
to <wn were closed in respect to the departed
xpiezcbjuit, and many persons gathered at
tl te Baptist Church yard to render the last
t3 ibute to the remains of a friend who had'
b een called hence in the pride of his early
i oanhood.
DABX COSHES CLUB 8UGGSOTOBS.
The Democratic Club of the Dark Corner
held its monthly meeting at Sherard's Store

dressed by Messrs. W. C, Brown, E. B.
Murray and J. N. Carwile upon the issues
involved'in the - present canvass. There
?were about one hundred and twenty-five
persons present, and all seemed thoroughly
enthused with the importance of the present
?canvass, and testified their approbation of
the straight-out policy by heartily applaud?
ing the speakers upon this subject After
the addresses, a heavy shower of rain caused
the crowd to disperse, though the greater
portion of it re-assembled when it was over,'
and proceeded to make the following sug?
gestions for County officers:

AH BXPLAHAXIOH PUBLISHED.
We publish the communication of "B,"
containing an explanation in regard to* the
granting of tbe warrant for the arrest of
Wilson, which, caused the trouble of which
we spoke in our last issue. We did not
know what Trial Justice issued the warrant
when we wrote the article referred to, but
that does not affect the propriety of the
course pursued in the matter. We have no
question that Mr. Hawthorne acted consci?
entiously, but still we think he was wrong
in placing a warrant for the arrest of a des?
perate white man in the bands of four ne?
groes, as trouble was likely to ensue. If his
Tegular constable was afraid to execute the
warrant, he should have lodged it not in
the hands of four irresponsible negroes, but
in the hands of the Sheriff of Abbeville
County. There is another reason why the
warrant should not have been given to the
negroes in question, which is, that it is al?
ways dangerous and very bad policy to
place a warrant in the hands of the man
who takes it out, as the constable to serve
it Of course a man who takes out a war?
rant is provoked, end is more likely to com?
mit excesses than one who simply had a
duty to perform. This is particularly true
of the negroes, who are ignorant of law,
and are governed to a great extent by their
passions. While-upon this subject, ? ;we
would call attention to another fact not
generally known, which is, that a Trial Jus?
tice is responsible for the actions of bis con?
stable while engaged in serving process from
him, if he uses any other person than the
Sheriff or his deputy, and therefore he
should be careful in his appointments. We
Jo not doubt that Mr. Hawthorne will be
more guarded in his course hereafter, as he
is a respectable and intelligent gentleman.
DEMOCRATIC MEBTTBO AT FLAT BOOT.
The citizens of Varennes Township and
surrounding country assembled at Flat Rock
on Saturday last, for the purpose, of hearing
addresses upon political topics and enjoying
a basket dinner, under the auspices of the
Democratic Club. The committee of
arrangements had made every provision
necessary for the comfort of the audience
and the speakers, and deserve great credit
for their interest and seal in the cause of
Democracy. The meeting was opened at
ten o'clock by Rev. Baxter Hays, President
of the Flat Rock Club, whose prefatory re?
marks were pointed and practical. Messrs.
John B. Moore, James L. Orr and James A.
Hoyt were introduced in the order named,
and gave their views upon the political issues
of the day. The speeches received the
utmost attention from all present. An in?
termission of one hour was taken, and
during that time the abundance of good
things provided by the ladies was partially
consumed. Nearly four hundred persons
were present, and all were amply supplied
from the bountiful baskets.
After the recess was over, the Club met
for the transaction of business, and nearly
thirty names were added to the membership,
which now numbers one hundred and
twenty-eight voters. Tbe Club decided not
to suggest any names as candidates for the
primary election. Col. J. W. Norris was
chosen as a member of the Central Execu?
tive Committee. The President was
authorized to appoint delegates to the Coun?
ty Convention, which he did as follows:
C. 8. Mattison, W. G. Watson, Grief T?te,
A. 0. Norris, jr., and W. J. Stevenson.
The rain interfered t> some extent with
the proceedings after dinner, and the crowd
sought shelter in the church building during
the storm. A portion of the crowd subse?
quently re-assembled at the stand, when
short speeches were made by Messrs. A. J.
Watt, W. G. Browne and John W. Daniels.
The Anderson Cornet Band was in attend?
ance throughout the day, and contributed
greatly to the entertainment of the audience.
Altogether, the meeting at Flat Rock was
a pronounced success.
Our Bel ton correspondent reports splendid
rains in that section of the County.

A heavy storm of wind and nun visited
the Southern portion of the County on Mon?
day last, and we are informed that great
damage was inflicted upon the growing
crops. We are without any definite and re?
liable information, and trust the reports are
exaggerated.
Mr. Newton Bryson, of Centreville Town?
ship, lost a little daughter, two years of age,
on last Saturday, from an attack of dysen?
tery. The little child had been delicate for
some time previous to the attack of sickness,
which terminated her life. We> sympathize
with the parents in their bereavement.
Mr. A. Summer Todd has associated him?
self with Mr. E. Preston Earle as a co-pub?
lisher and editor of the Anderson Journal,
under the firm name of Earle * Todd. We
hope they may find journalism pleasant and
profitable The Journal will be continued at
the same price and at the same size as here?
tofore.
We notice that the street hands are pre?
paring to make drains' on the sides of the
hill at Whitneris Creek. This will be a good
piece of work, and will in a great measure
stop the washing away of the street. A lit?
tle work might also be advantageously put
on the hill of Main street at the Carolina
Collegiate Institute.
Reform is the watchword of the hour, and
seems to permeate every phase of life. N. K.
Sullivan & Co. are inaugurating a practical
reform in our midst, and will seek to impress
the necessity for its establishment upon their
customers, without distinction of race or
.politics. Further particulars may be ob?
tained by perusing their advertisement in
another column.
Refreshing showers have passed over most
portions of our County within the past week,
and have been of invaluable service in some
sections, particularly in the lower part of
this County where the crops were fast be?
coming parched by the long continued
draught. A great deal of the upland: corn
is how safe for a fine yield, and the prospect
for good crops generally is encouraging to
our farmers. .
The Anderson Sun has re-appeared under
the conduct of Messrs. R. Edmund Belcher
and John H. McG?l. It presents a neat
typographical appearance, and is. taking
position in the Democratic ranks. We wish,
these proprietors all the success they desire
in their new copartnership. There ore nqw
three weekly papers in Anderson, a fact
which speaks well for the business pros?
perity of the place.
We learn that there are a number of cases
of bilious remittent fever along and near
the junction of the streams Three and Twen?
ty and Six and Twenty. None of the cases,
however, so far as we know, have proved
fatal up to this time. It is probable this
sickness results from the very high water in
these streams during the freshet last June,
whereby much bottom land was overflowed,
and decayed vegetable matter was washed
upon it, and left to produce miasma.
We regret to announce the death of Miss
Mary E. Dobbins, daughter of Mrs. Mary
Dobbins, of the Fork Township, which sad
even t occurred on Tuesday morning, 25th ult.
after a protracted illness. Miss Dobbins
was much beloved by her acquaintances,
and her death is much lamented by many
relatives and friends. Her remains were
deposited to rest in Roberts' Church Yard
on Wednesday last by the Fork Grange, of
which she was an esteemed member.
August is a good month for planting
patches of barley for fall pasturage. It
should not be planted later than September
if it is desired to reap the full advantage of
the crop. It would be well for every farmer
to plant a good patch of this grain, as be
will find it very profitable?probably more
so than anything he can plant. After
pasturing during the fall and winter, two
heavy crops of green barley can be cut and
fed to stock in the spring.
The Intelligencer is the largest, by equal to
seven columns, of any paper published in
Anderson, and affords its readers the greatest
amount of reading matter. It bas by many
times the largest list of subscribers, and
every man who is not now getting this
paper should subscribe for it at once. It is
uncompromisingly Democratic. If you
want to advertise, to reach the people, it is
the paper to employ, for it has the largest
circulation of any weektyv county paper in
the State.
We would call attention to the advertise?
ment of the Security Insurance and Annuity
Company, of New York, which appears in
another column. This is a strong and relia?
ble company, and is being introduced in this
section by Cant. T. Has ell Dick, of Sumter,
S. C. He will spend some time in Ander?
son, and may be seen while here at the
Waverly House. He will be pleased to ex- j
plain the merits of bis company to those
wishing to insure.

A horse of Mr. S. Bleckley came near re?
ceiving a serious injury on last Saturday hy
getting its foot fastened in a-hole in the
bridge over the railroad cut or:Main street.
The town authorities had the place mended
i immediately, but as it is not the town's
place to keep up these bridges, they have
only fixed it for temporary use. "We hope
something may be done towards repairing
these bridges, for if they are allowed -to re?
main as they now are it will not be long
until they will become unsafe for travel.
The Democratic Club of Hall Township
will meet on next Saturday at 2 o'clock p.
m., at the Carswell Institute, for the pur?
pose of electing delegates to the County Con?
vention and attending to such other busi?
ness as may be presented. Several speakers
have been invited to address the meeting,
and every citizen of the township is earnest?
ly requested to be present. The Club may
decide to make suggestions for County offi?
cers, and therefore all who can attend ought
to be there promptly.
One of our merchants says the fence law
has been abolished in the politics of Ander?
son County, for there is no fence riding
among candidates. All are either Demo?
crats or Republicans. The remark is a true
one, for the independents are now regarded
as more contemptible than the most pro?
nounced Republican. The political opinion
of Anderson County is in a most healthy
condition, and the prospects of a very large
Democratic majority for State and County
officers are most encouraging. The other
counties of the State should abolish fences
for politicians, pi
AN UNFORTUNATE DIFFICULTY.
We regret to announce that a difficulty
occurred on last Friday between two school
boys, about eighteen years old, near Hol?
land's" Store, in which' Frank ?row"str?cE
Joseph O'Brian a dangerous blow upon the
head with a rock. They had quarrelled
over a game of marbles during recess and
came to blows, by which O'Brian had
knocked two of Crow's teeth out, i and
seemed to get the better of the fight. After
recess, and before they went 66 the' school;
the difficulty w?s renewed by calling each'
other unpleasant epithets," and Crow-struck
O'Brian With a rock upon the ankle, and
while the latter was stooping to get a rock,
threw again and struck him upon the head,
cutting the skin and cracking the outer
table of the skull. The wound is a danger?
ous one, though it was hoped that O'Brian
would recover. The last accounts from him
were unfavorable, however, and Crow has
gone to Geotgia.
? We regret this unfortunate occurrence, as
both these young men are sons of respecta?
ble widow ladies, and have been neighbors
and friends of each other. The difficulty
was a school-boy quarrel, and there was
doubtless no intention to inflict so severe a
wound. It is to be hoped that O'Brian will
speedily recover from Ms injuries, and that
this misfortune will serve as a warning to,
others not to let their passions get so much
the mastery over their judgments. .

POLITICAL GATHERING AT HONEA PATH.
-Homu Path, B.C., July 27,1876.. -
i Messrs. Editors : According to announce?
ment, there was held in Honea Path a grand
?political demonstration under the auspices
of the Democratic Club of that township.
Tbe crowd commenced collecting by nine
o'clock, and by ten the numbers, had reached
about seven hundred, representing all .por?
tions of Anderson County, and many of the
worthy citizens of Abbeville lent their pres?
ence and good wishes. 8everal of the can?
didates were on the field early, and collected
little knots of admirers and friends around
them to listen to their .pretty and patriotic
speeches, and the great reform they would
each introduce M their separate spheres were
they to receive trie suffrage of their honored
constituency. On tbe arrival of the train
the speakers and another batch of candidates
enteired upon the <field of action,.' and were
escorted to the baautiful grove, just by the
Church. Here a stand was erected and the
seats arranged, and the first thing that struck
the visitor's eye was an enormous monogram
composed of the letters "T. <fc H.;" the
former white, the two latter pink, which
made a beautiful appearance. We believe
the community are indebted to Mr. Wra.
Lee lor this piece of artistic skill.. One of
the candidates gave it as his judgment that
it represented Truth implanted in Honesty,
and secured by the cable of fidelity and 'jus?
tice. Quite a pretty idea, but it also repre?
sented Tilden and Hendricks, the great and
glorious standard-bearers of the Democratic
party of the United States.
The President of the Club, R N. Wright,
Esq., called the meeting to order, and intro?
duced as the first speaker, Mr. J. L. Tribble,
of Anderson, who, in a chaste and eloquent
speech, directed the attention of his audi?
ence to the ills they had suffered and would
continue to suffer unless they had action,
effort, honesty and victory as their watch?
words and banners in the coming campaign.
He was followed by Messrs. R. W. 8impson,
Jas. L. Orr and W. C." Brown,"who made
stirring speeches, exhorting the people to
make one desperate effort to regain their
birth-right, and to thrust from power and
position tbe rogues, thieves and cormorants
who are now oppiessing them. Then the
candidates present were all called on, Messrs.
Humphreys, Watt and Daniels speaking at
some length, the others acknowledging the
compliment, and requesting to he excused.
Never has it been my pleasure to see a
whole meeting evincing more earnestness in
any object, nor have I ever seen, more inter?
est and attention paid to speakers. When
the speaking was finished, parties present
were asked to join the Club, and a large
number enrolled their names.
Then came an interesting part to all par?
ties, but especially to the candidates, who
had exerted themselves to such a degree that
replenishment became necessary in order to.
continue thcirarduous duties. Honea Path,
however, was equal to the emergency, and
sustained her well-earned reputation for
hospitality. The repast being finished, par?
ties assembled under the shade trees and
discussed the speeches and speakers, or went
home in a fine state of mind.

A gentleman living in Kcrshaw County,
who has not cast a vote in sixteen years, ex?
presses a determination, now that a policy
more congenial to his tastes will likely be
adopted, to go to tbe polls in November,
and to carry at least a dozen votes for the
Democratic ticket. '
A CARD FROM COL. PICXENS.
Mssses. Editors -. I embrace the first pub?
lic opportunity of noticing a communication
in the Anderson Journal, signed "Reform,"
in-which, my name was kindly mentioned
with others as a kind of reserve corps for
legislative selections. I have no idea at pres?
ent of ever being a candidate for any posi?
tion or office; but with my associations and
reminiscences of the palmy days of Sooth
Carolina, I can conceive of no contingency
or circumstances which would induce me to
permit my name to be presented to the Dem?
ocratic voters of the County as a candidate
for a seat in the Radical Legislature of mis?
rule and corruption. Fortunately, there are
others without such associations who are
fully competent to discharge all the duties
incumbent upon a legislator, and who have
patriotically placed personal feelings and
private interests in the back-ground, and
offer to devote themselves to the advance?
ment of the best interests of their constitu?
ents. I will vote, consequently, for our true
and tried members in the House of Repre?
sentatives, with one additional name en?
dorsed by the nomination: of the Democratic
primary election. I shall vote for candidates
for all the public offices of the County en?
dorsed in the same way, uninfluenced by
any personal consideration. I feel confident
i that the Democratic voters of this County
will agree with rhe that the time has arrived
when the Democratic party should no longer
be lulled into supineness and indifference by
the siren voice of Radical deception. Their
fair and false promises hdve invariably de?
ceived us. I hope from the encouraging
signs of) the times, , that the Democracy of
this County* will be prepared and determined
to'a'mah to march in an unbroken phalanx
to the polls, and efface every possible vestige
of Radical misrule and corruption within
.ouiub-orders.. I^m,Ajnember..of aJQfenw
cratic Club, and standing on the admirable
political platform adopted, by the National
Democracy, I am.opposed to-any affiliation
'and compromise with ,'tlje Radical party of
?the State in the approaching State election.
I am' in favor of a straight-out Democratic
nomination for all the State offices, as the
??[only means pf'preventing 'the^bahner" of
State rights and reform, ?nder 'whhm we
Wj|tL;do"; battle, ? ?flom being trailed through
the mire of R^m^l-oorruptioru j f
In conclusion,'permit me to congratulate
you on your efficient service in defence of
Staterights and a violated constitution, and
wishfng,thatyour future labors may be suc?
cessful-in hastening the. dawn of a political
mflleniumj'rwhen ithe execrable, horde, of
Radical vampires, native and- adopted, who
are preying on our vitals' shall be driven by
an uprising and indignant Democracy be?
yond the confines of our down-trodden
State. .

AN EXPLANATORY CARD.
Dob West, 8.6., Aug. 1; 1876,
Messes Editoes : In yq?r last .paper I no?
tice you censure pur Trial Justice, Mr. A. C.
Hawthorne, for depredations committed' in
Anderson County by a posse of negroes,
who were entrusted witir a' warraht to arrest
Mk Jdhni W0aom'4ffiah?ot^
hams; an? knowing that perhaps in this,
as in almost all similar cases, considerable
exaggeration in the report going such a dis?
tance, as well as that you would be far from
doing Mr. H. an injustice, I give you facts
as occurred under my personal observation,
happening to be in the office when two col?
ored persons came in, and asked Mr. H. "if
he hadn't promised a'warrant for the arrest
of Mr. Wilson, if some one would- go and
arrest him?'1 ? Mr. H. replied by asking a
number'or" questions', such as' "whb was
with him T" "Only four persons." "Where
is Mr. W. 2" "AtMr:Bobin3on:s ihAbfie
villc, yesterday evening," Ac.- The warrant
was granted, Mr. H. instructing them in
what to do?go to Mr. Wilson, reason with
him, use no insulting, threatening language,
&c, as well as positive orders hot to shoot.
: Enough of this. Mr. Hawthorne is in
every sense a "Justice of the Peace," always
on that side of every contentious question,
and what he did in this, as every other diffi?
culty, was done in the interest of peace and
order. Mr. H. had no knowledge of the
party being so numerous, as only four ap?
plied for the warrant, and of course did not
send the negroes to Anderson, as 'his 'juris?
diction only extends within his own7 Coun?
ty. His regular constable told me he might
go and find Mr^W-, but fhet he.-would not
it afrested?he .woplfl. die first;; and I un?

for trying to arrest him in a former difficul?
ty. ' Fraternally yours, ? * ;

week. He was. en route to address mass
meetings at Rutherfordton and Columbus,

was not time for- him to examine the case,
he granted a reprieve in order fti?l he might
be enabled to make the necessary investiga?
tion into the case. Judge Cooke concurred
in the propriety of the Governor's action.
SPECIAL NOTICES.
'Questions for Hrery One to Answer?
Are you troubled with Indigestion,
Constipation I of the I Bowels, 'Dyspepsia,
or any disease of the Liver ?(V -Have you
suffered for, years and found jo relief
from the use of medicines ? Do*ou have
a faint appetite, and are you troubled
with feelings of 'languor ? If you have
theae feelings we' know;you' have hot
tried the* new discovery MEBRELL'S
HEPATINE, at Simpson & Sadler's
Drugstore. It is performing wonderful
cures in this and all other communities
where the people use it. It is pronounced
by all as the best Liver Medicine in the
world. Two dos es' will relieve the - worst
case of Dyspepsia or Constipation of the
Bowels. Each bottle contains fifty doses,
and a teaspoonful of this medicine in a
wineglassful of water three times a day
for one day, produces a most wonderful
change. Where the system is run down
with loss of energy and appetite, or Dys?
pepsia, with all its train of evil, is effect?
ing its'deadly work, this remedylJEER
EELL'S 'HEPATINE, "never fails to
bring about a speedy and permanent cure.
Those who doubt the merit and virtues of
this medicine' and live from day to day
without trying the HEPATINE, haveour
sympathy; but cannot be cured unless
they take the Medicine. 1 ?
<; ; The. Struggles of Life.
. From the cradle to the grave life is full of
struggles. Some struggle for riches, some
for pleasure^ some for honor, and others
sfruggle to'regain"' that greatest; of 'all bless
hfgs?hearth?and in their crTorts they often
resort to means which -places it farther out
of their reach They take drastic compounds
which shock"the system, or violent minerals
,which.poison by .degrees, and thus the vital
energies are weakened and the very founda?
tions of life, polluted. Nature provides rem?
edies for every disease, and it is from the
vegetable kingdom .that Dr. Tutt|s Liver
Pills derive 'their ingredients, and in their
use there is the happy certalntyithat if they
?do no good, they do no harm . But of thefr
efficacy, thousands who have been cured of
diseased liver, kidneys, spleen, stomach and
bowels, live to-day to testify.
. Is Tour Life Worth 10 &utst.
' Sickness prevails everywhere, and every?
body complains of some disease during their
life. When sick, the object is to get well;
now t? say plainly that'ho person in this
world that is suffering with Dyspepsia, "Liver
Cemplaint and its effects, such as Indiges?
tion, Costiveness, Sick Headache, Sour
Stomash, Heart Burn, palpitation of the
Heart, Depressed Spirits, Biliousness, &c.,
can take Green's August Floweb without
getting relief and cure. If you doubt this,
go to your Druggists, W?hlte & Williams,
and get a SampleBottle for 10 cents and try
it. Regular size 75 cents. Two doses will
relieve you.
