THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. INTIMIDATION. We learn that a desperate effort is being mode by colored men in this town and County to prevent any colored people from Joining the Democratic Clubs, and to accom rplish this, have been making threats of vio? lence against any who join. We wish it to tbe distinctly understood that these threats ;shall not be executed. No man shall be molested for joining a Democratic Club, and "it will be a bad day for any person or persons when they attempt to proscribe men in this County. There must be no intimidation, and especially the ignorant colored man should not be intimidated. We have never committed violence, and never will, but we say, without reserve, that any effort to pun? ish the colored Democrats of this County, will inaugurate mob law. We warn the Re? publicans not to inaugurate this system of | intimidation, for they will reap the whirl? wind if they sow the wind. THE TOWN ELECTION. The election of a Town Council to serv< the ensuiug year in the town of Anderson passed off on last Monday without develop? ing much interest. All the candidates were elected, and hence both parties profess to be satisfied with the result, though it is in reality a Democratic triumph. Neither party nominated by convention, but the Democrats ran Wm. McGukin for Inten? dant, with N. K. Sullivan and W. F. Barr for Wardens, as a ticket nominated by indi? viduals over the signature of "Democrats" And under the heading of "Democratic "Ticket." The Republicans made no public mominations, but considered the propriety ?of making a fight over the Inten ?dant's position up to Monday morning, when they'abandoned the idea of running their man and settled down on John Mc Grath and John R. Cochran for the War? dens. Under the system of cumulative voting the election resulted as follows: Fbr Intendant?Wm. McGukin, 188 votes. Jbr Wardens?John McGrath, 300; N. K. Sullivan, 293; John R. Cochran, 288; W. F. Barr, 276. After the election the bar-rooms were opened, and there was considerable confu? sion and drinking, especially among the colored people. The town authorities did not preserve order, but allowed the dis? turbance to continue unmolested, to the tenor of the ladies and children living near the north-eastern corner of the square. Pis? tols were fired by parties who were Jiot arrested, and loud cursing allowed. It is to be hoped such occurrences will be prevented in the future. TEE 8ALTJDA BAPTIST ASSOCIATION. This body met at Walnut Grove Church, in Abbeville County, on last Thursday morning, and the introductory sermon was preached by Rev. ?. R.

Mrs. Busby leaves a hus? band and two little children, who, together with many friends, lament her death. BRIEF MENTION. Mr. J. H. Von Hnsslen arrived in Ander? son on last Tuesday evening from a several months' visit to his native home in Ger? many. Of course he spent the time plcas ahtly. In addition to the sneakers announced for the Picnic at Grove Church on next Friday, we are requested to state that Mr. G. F. Tolly will make an address upon the sub? ject of temperance. The regular quarterly communion service of the Presbyterian Church of this place comes off on next Sunday. There will be services in the Church on Saturday at 11 o'clock a. m., and at 8 p. ni. The delegates to the State Convention from this County arc at their posts In Co? lumbia, and we have no doubt the wishes of the Anderson Democracy will be faith? fully and ably represented by them. Mr. Oliver Hewitt, Grand Scribe of the Grand Division of Sons of Temperance of this State, is on a visit, with his lady, to her relatives in this place. They will remain for some days before returning to his home at Graham's, S. C. The repairs on the Baptist Church of this place have been completed, and the regular services of the denomination were resumed in it on last Sabbath. It has been very greatly improved in its appearance, both within and without. The recent rains have made the water? melon crop abundant. Great numbers of fine melons have been brought to market, and the prices are low. This and summer apples are the only fruits which have been abundant here during this season. The Rev. A. M. Folclii, Priest of the Catholic Church, will conduct the services of his church at the residence of Mr. M. D. Kennedy, of this town, on next Sunday. The members of his congregation are re? quested to attend upon that occasion. We are requested to announce that the protracted meeting expected to have been commenced this week at the Carswell Insti? tute has been postponed, and that Rev. E. R. Carswell will conduct service- at Hopcwcll Church on next Saturday night and on the Sabbath following. The Young Men's Christian Association of this place have, through the American Bible Society, supplied the County jail of this place with Bibles for the use of prison? ers. They also distribute tracts to them at frequent intervals, thus doing a good and commendable work. The work on Broadaway trestle, on the G. <fc C. R. R., is progressing slowly, but is being done in a substantial manner. The rock foundation has been completed, and the trestle work will be put in as soon as possible. It is expected to be done by the first of October so that trains can pass. We learn that Mr. J. D. Welch was shot on last Saturday night, about 11 o'clock, at Seneca City, by a man named W. P. Powell, who had been' quarreling with a younger brother of Mr. Welch. The difl&culty had been stopped by Mr. J. D. Welch, and as he started to leave the shot was fired, striking him in the left breast and ranging around his ribs until it came out on the right side about three inches below his arm. We are glad to learn that the wound is not a dan? gerous one, and hope that he will soon re? cover from its effects. The man who did the shooting is represented to be a dangerous and violent character. He has not yet been arrested. BELTON DEMOCRATIC CL?B. The Belton Democratic Club met this evening, August 12th, according to adjourn? ment of last meeting. President Brown called the meeting to order, and declared the body ready for business, when the min? utes of the last meeting were read and ap? proved. An invitation was then extended to all present who were not members of the Club to come forward and join, when sever? al persons enrolled their names as members. After concluding the business of the Club, Col. W. D. Wilkes, who was present, was unanimously invited to address the Club. Col. Wilkes disclaimed any intention of making a speech, and yet for one-half hour he made a most interesting discourse, giving many reasons why he had declined since 1860 to vote for a President; contrasted the Cincinnati and St. Louis platforms and nominations, and proved logically that it was his duty to support Tilden and Hen dricks, as also the duty of every true man of every party. In State politics he briefly re? viewed the efforts made by Governor Orr, and others which he had seconded to induce harmonious action between the white and colored voters of the State; announced that it was a failure, and showed why it had failed and would fail, aud that he was done with that line of policy; urged that the Democratic State Convention to assemble next week should nominate Gen. Wade Hampton for Governor, and a full ticket for State officers, because, first, he felt assured it was the strongest policy that could be adopted, and most likely to win; second, he regarded Hampton as the strongest and most available candidate; third, from what he saw in the Republican State Convention last May, John J. Patterson & Co. had con? trol of the Republican party, were hostile to Chamberlain, and would not nominate him for Governor unless forced to do so; a Democratic nomination would force them to nominate Chamberlain, and.in that event we would get the best Republican for Gov? ernor, if the Democratic nominee was de? feated. We need say no more of Colonel Wilkes' speech, which was warmly applaud? ed, for the people of the County will get to hear him. As he sat down he directed his name to be enrolled as a member of the Club. On motion, it was agreed that this Club unite with the other Clubs in the County Democratic mass meeting in September. On motion, it was resolved that this Club fuvors the policy of making a straight-out Demo? cratic nomination for State officers; opposes any postponement, and expresses a prefer? ence for Gen. Hampton for Governor, Capt. Hoyt for Congress, and. Maj. Moore for So? licitor. The following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That this Club hold a mass meet? ing at Belton on Wednesday, the 30th inst., exercises to commence at 10 o'clock a. m. Resolved, That it Is advisable to have a Picnic Dinner or Barbecue, and to that end we invite the ladies and gentlemen of the County to attend on that dav and contrib ute. Resolved, That we cordially invite all parties to be present, and urge upon all men to exert themselves to secure a full at? tendance of white and colored voters, to hear the reasons why we should all vote to? gether. Resolved. Thut Dr. W. C. Brown, Warren D. Wilkes, J. A. Hoyt, John B. Moore, E. B. Murray", und the candidates generally, be and they are hereby invited to attend and address said meeting. Resolved, That we invite the Anderson Cornet Band, and try und secure their at tendance at our muss meeting. On motion, the officers und executive committee of this Club were constituted a committee of arrangements for the mass meeting. The Anderson papers were requested to publish these proceeding' W. C. BROWN, President. Ja?. W. Poore, Sec. Special to Builders and Contractors.? Before "breaking ground" send to Mr. P. P. Toale, of Charleston, S.

Messrs. Editors : I ask the use of a few lilies in your valuable paper to express the convictions of a white man'who has been affiliated with the Republican party for a number of years. When I joined the party I was no aspirant for office, am now no as? pirant, nor ever have been, and the only motive I had in quitting the Democracy was what I mistakenly believed to he the inter? est of the country. It is useless for me to state my reasons in detail; it suffices that all my sanguine hopes have been disap? pointed ; that in its incipiency the leading members of the party were corrupt; that when their power over the State was fixed, this corruption alarmingly increased, and now that a doubt of their continued lease of power exists in the minds of these ad? venturers, no measure is too infamous for them to adopt to facilitate their purposes, even to the disruption of a peaceable gov? ernment. The Democracy have petitioned, and their petitions have been scorned; they have besought, and their prayers have been laughed at; the Federal ear has been deaf to all our supplications, and a horde of scoundrels placed in positions once adorned by a Calhoun, a Chevcs and a McDnffie. Then, why should white men hesitate to as? sert their freedom ? "Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it God." There was a time to compromise, and it was cheer? fully offered by the whites; it was indig? nantly rejected; the blacks even in this County, where they arc in the minority, refused to vote for one of their own color simply because he was supported by the whites. The time of compromise is, there? fore, past; the Anglo-Saxon must assert his liberty, and have the spirit to maintain it. The crisis is upon us. "He that doubts is a fool, and he that halts is damned." Respectfully, JAMES A. MAJOR. LABOR BEFORM. Belton, S. C, August 12, 1S7(J. Messrs. Editors : You have certainly con? ferred a favor upon your readers by publish? ing in the last issue of your paper the very able and pointed letter of Rev. A. W. Moore, upon the aims and purposes of the Labor Reform Associations. Perhaps you would have conferred a further favor if you liad published the constitution of the Association at Hodges'. The aims, objects and hoped-for results of such Associations, I unqualifiedly endorse, and trust that u vigorous effort will be made in this year of action to establish such an Association in every township in our County. Honca Path has taken the lead, and nobly led off with an Association of seventy-five members. Will not the other townships organize at once, thorough? ly and effectively? It is useless for one or two townships to organize without the co? operation of the others. I was unprepared to believe that such satisfactory results could be attained by these Associations, until as? sured by gentlemen who are familiar with their workings. If they were a necessity in Laurcns County, and have done so much good there, are they not needed in Ander? son ? Have our farmers suffered no loss by unreliable, inefficient labor? Are they not ready to adopt any plan of action that prom? ises to magnify "efficiency and productive? ness in all labor?" Did any of your readers hastily scan Mr. Moore's letter, a.id dismiss it without thought? or did any of them fail to read it? If so, let me beg them to take up your paper again and read it carefully, and then think the subject over with a de? liberation commensurate with the impor? tance of the interests involved, and then candidly say, first, if labor reform is not im? peratively demanded; second, if any better organization to achieve this reform can be devised than these Associations ; third, will they set about organizing in the respective townships.

EELIGIOUS REVIVAL AT TOWNVILLE. TowxviLLE, Aug. 13, 187(5. Messes. Editors : A religious revival of uncommon interest has been in progress at the Baptist Church at this place for the last ten clays, and came to a close to-day. Rev. E. L. Sisk, the pastor of the Church, assist? ed part of the time by Rev. Mr. McGuffin, of Oeoncc, have labored very earnestly with the people, and their efforts have been crowned with a measure of success rarely witnessed in this part of the country. Fifty-one converts have been received into the Church, and many more are expected to join when the meetings aro resumed. Failing to receive ministerial aid from abroad, and Iiis own physical powers being exhausted, Mr. Sisk was obliged to bring the meeting to a close, though the interest manifested in the cause has increased daily from the beginning until its close to-day. At !) o'clock this monfing a large con? course of people assembled at the baptistry to witness the solemn and impressive ordi? nance of baptism administered. The bap? tistry is located about half a mile from the Church, on a beautiful clear stream, run? ning through a stately grove of oak, poplar and maple; the earth is carpeted with moss and wild grass, the trees festooned with vines and creepers, making it a most charm? ing spot, entirely in keeping with the solemn rites to which it has been piously dedicated. After singing an appropriate hymn by the congregation, followed by a short prayer by the pastor, forty-six persons "went down into water" and were "buried with Christ in baptism." When "they came up out of the water," the congregation, supposed to number five or six hundred, adjourned to the church, where divine services were held, and an unusual interest manifested. Although the Church is very large, it was impossible to seat the congregation, and aisles, windows and doors were filled with eager listeners, to the great discomfort of those crowded in the pews. ' A notable feature of this meeting, was the absence of all excitement, such as usu? ally attends religious revivals. Everything has been conducted in a quiet, business-like way. A solemn earnestness seemed to 2>er vade the entire people. No extra efforts were made by the ministers to get up reli? gious enthusiasm ; but all the people seem? ed to be moved by a common impulse to devote their whole time to the work in hand. The meeting will be resumed at an early day. It is rather remarkable that though fifty persons have joined the Church, yet the number of "enquirers" were more nu? merous at the close of the meeting than at any time during its progress. J. P. B. On a Mission of Peace.?Judge Cooke and Solicitor Blythe were here on Thursday night to investigate their con? stituents on the bar question. It is said that Judge Cooke has a pride in his cir? cuit, and is anxious that it should have credit for being as peaceable as any cir? cuit in the State; and to promote that end came here aud lectured the colored brethren and their leaders soundly for their obstreperous conduct on the Friday previous. We learn that the Judge is a peace man, and has instructed the trial justices hero that it was their duty to command the peace; that they were not appointed to office for party purposes, but to promote the public good, irrespec? tive of race or political creed. We learn that the Judge instructed the trial justi? ces here to bind over to court any man who might make an incendiary speech, and said that any one that delivered such speech, if proof could be obtained, should be arrested. He was also very emphatic in his denunciation of the distribution of cartridges to che bearers of Chamberlain's bayonets. Trial Justice Bruce denied having furnished the four thousand rounds of ammunition to the blacks. It is thought the visit of the Judge and Solicitor will promote the public peace. ?Abbeville Press and Banner. SPECIAL NOTICES. Questions for Every One to Answer. Are you troubled with Indigestson, Constipation of the Bowels, Dyspepsia, or any disease of the Liver? Have you suffered for years and found no relief from the use of medicines? Do you have a faint appetite, and are you troubled with feelings of languor? If you have these feelings we know you have not tried the new discoverv MERRELL'S HEPATINE, at Simpson & Sadler's Drug Store. 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 doses will relieve the worst case of Dyspepsia or Constipation of the Bowels. "Each bottle contains fifty doses, and a tcaspoonful 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 dcadlv work, this remedy, MEK?

Those who doubt the merit and virtues of this medicine and live from day to day without trying the HEPATINE, have our sympathy, but cannot be cured unless they take the Medicine. Old Age is Honorable. This is true, but how few of us like to look old. Age, with its grey hairs, is never welcome, and the various arts have been brought into requisition to hide its ravages. In too many instances agents arc used for that purpose which inflict serious injury on the constitution. Especially is this the case with a large majority of the Hair Dyes of the present day. For an elegant prepara? tion that will impart a perfectly natural col? or, without doing the least harm to the hair or health we recommend that made by Dr. Tutt, of New York. It possesses qualities that no other Hair Dye does, and as its analysis proves is as innocent as mountain spring water.

Nichols & Uro., Atlanta, <!a.. which brings the water pure und fresh from the bottom of the well. No slime or tilth collects on the pump or in the well. No Mini Is, worms or green moss gels about the water. It is true from rust or other impurities, and can be operated by a small child with ease, and brings the water fresher than any oth? er I'UIUp. It is of stone, glazed inside and outside, and never will decay. It improves the water beyond a doubt by ventilating the wcllj and keeping it like a moving stream of water. With a hose attached, it bcVomcs a good lire-engine, ever ready at your door to extinguish the flames in case of lire. 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.
