THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. INTIMIDATION. During the procession on Tuesday night an effort was made to intimidate the colored members of Democratic Clubs, and deter others from uniting with them. Many threats were made by negroes against col? ored Democrats, which, if any attempt to execute be made, will bring upon the aggressors speedy and condign punishment. Solomon Wright, a colored member of the Bclton Club, while riding in the procession, was knocked from his horse by a rock thrown by a negro. This unprovoked and outrageous assault will not be permitted to go unpunished. The guilty party must be made to suffer the penalty due his offence, and adequate protection given the colored men who seek to unite with the Democrats. We say, this thing must be stopped, and the negroes and their unprincipled leaders taught that they shall not viola* c the rights of citizens with impunity. DEDICATION. The dedication' sermon of the new Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church was preachd by Rev. -HW. E. Waiters to a very large and apprecia? tive congregation, which waAra excellent effort. The text was very appropriate for the occasion,. and seemed to stir np the church as it was repeated?"In the name of our God we will set up our banners." After the sermon, Rev: D. W. Hiatt was called on to offer the dedicating prayer. The services of the day were very interesting, and it is to be hoped that tbe church which they conse? crated a place of worship may dispense to mankind many Christian blessings. NEW COTTON. The Charleston Journal of Commerce in? forms us of the following arrival of new cotton for sale in that city. The price' quo? ted for the fvst bale is exceedingly low, and we fear the whole crop will not yield any very great nett profit to our planters: Messrs. P. W. Wagener & Co., cotton fac? tors, received on Thursday the first bait; of new cotton, from Orangeborg County. It was classified as middling, ana was sold for 13 cents. This cotton' was raised upon the plantation of Mr. J. F. Way, who is plant? ing about two hundred and seventy-five acres, and whose entire crop-looks well and promises a handsome yield. Messrs. Davis & McCall received three bales of the new crop of cotton from Or? angeburg on Thursday, and two bales from Barnwell, via the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, on Friday. Messrs. Williams, Black <fc Williams also received a new bale on Friday. ENTHUSIASTIC GREETING. As General Hampton passed up t h e Green - -ville and Columbia Railroad to Walhalla on last Saturday, he received many demonstra? tions of the estimation in which he is held in this State, and of the popular enthusiasm created by bis nomination. At every town along the railroad large numbers flocked to the depots to salute and cheer him, thereby necessitating the General to show himself, - and make them a short speech. At Belton, Anderson and Pencfieton there were large crowds awaiting the arrival of the train, and at the last two towns he was received with music from the Brass Bands of the respec? tive places. At Walhalla he made an ex? cellent speech, although much fatigued by the day's travel and constant speaking. He says that he will enter the contest in earnest at an early day, and that the canvass is to be made a successful one He will speak in, Anderson on the second day of Septem? ber. ? ! PICNIC AT QEOVE CHOBCH. The Picnic at Grove Church, near the resi? dence of Mr. 8. P. McConnell, on last Fri? day attracted a large attendance from the Dark Corner and Savannah Townships. In the morning able and entertaining speeches were made upon thei(jibject of education by Messrs. J. X. Orr, M. B. Clinkscales and John E. Breazeale, with a short reference to poli? tics in Mr: Orr's speech. After the morning speaking dinner was announced, and an abundant and sumptuous basket dinner en? joyed ?by all present. In the afternoon the crowd assembled again at the stand, and were eloquently addressed upon politics and temperance by Mr. A. J. Watt, and upon temperance by Messrs. G. F. Tolly and W. G. Brown. A political speech was then made by Mr. E. B. Murray, after which the Savannah Township Club met and - enrolled sixteen hew names upon its membership. The day was a very delightful social occa? sion, and its proceedings were interesting to all present. HONE A PATH CLUB. Honea Path, August 19,1876.

In obedience to the instructions of the Central Executive Committee for Anderson County, it is hereby announced that a GRAND RATIFICATION MEETING will take place on Saturday, 2nd day of Septem? ber next, at Anderson C.

Murrah will preach in the Methodist Church at this place on next Sabbath morn? ing. We are requested to give notice that Dr. W. C. Brown will deliver a speech at Flat Rock Club on Saturday next. A full atten? dance is requested. The young men of Pendle ton purpose or? ganizing a rifle club at an early day. Their Cornet Band is now well organized, and makes excellent music. The citizens of this County designate Gen? eral Hampton as "our next Governor," and not as our candidate for Governor. There is a firm conviction upon the public mind that he will be elected. Some villain robbed Mr. Robert Sloan's watermelon patch near Pendleton one night last week, and after taking all the ripe melons wantonly destroyed the green ones. Such scamps deserve severe punishment. Mr. D. H. Russell, who lives near Pendle? ton, informs us that he has a stalk of cotton which has 480 squares and bolls upon it. This is very fine, and we expect it is the best in the County. Can any one beat it ? A protracted meeting was held during the first week of this month at Pisgah Baptist Church, and closed with the baptisms of thirty-three persons. Much interest was manifested throughout the entire meeting, and much good was accomplished. We would call attention to the advertise? ments of the Due West Female College and of the Greenville Baptist Female College, which appear elsewhere. Parents may rest assured that their daughters will be thor? oughly instructed at either of these institu? tions. We have received a copy of the catalogue of the Greenville Baptist Female College for last year, which shows this institution to be in a flourishing condition. The corps of Professors is full, and their attainments are excellent. The school numbered 117 pupils last session. Mrs. S. A. Woodson. a widow lady, who lives near Hohnes' shop, some three miles east of this place, brought us on lost Friday two open bolls of cotton, which were gathered from her field on the 15th inst. This is the first open cotton which we have seen this season. We are requested to announce that the Savannah Township Democratic Club will hold its next meeting at the residence of Mr. William Jones on Saturday, 28th inst., at 10 o'clock a. m. A full attendance of the Club is requested, and every citizen of the County is invited to be present. The Picnic at Keys' 8pring on last Friday was a complete success. A large number of ladies and gentlemen were present, and the pleasure of the occasion will long be remem? bered. Mr. and Mrs. Keys, as usual, made every one feol welcomed, and by their kind? ness and hospitality added much to the enjoyment of the day. The Anderson Cor? net Band was in attendance, and furnished delightful music for the occasion. Some of the citizens of Broadaway Town? ship organized a rifle club on the 12th inst. with the name of "Broadaway's Mounted Hampton Riflemen," and elected the follow? ing officers: Joseph B. Moore, Captain; L. E. Campbell, 1st Lieutenant; A.C. Ward law, 2nd Lieutenant; J. W. Erskine, 3rd Lieutenant; C. B. Wardlaw, W. H. Geer, E. L. Smith, M. G. Smith and S. Pearman, Sergeants; J. D. Warnock, E. L. Clarke, J. M. Elgin and H. C. Erskine, Corporals. We regret to announce the death of Mrs. C. C. Pegg, wife of Capt. 8. M. Pegg, which occurred in this place on last Saturday morning, after a protracted and painful ill? ness. Mrs. Pegg was the proprietress of the "Ladies' Store" in Anderson, and leaves many friends and acquaintances in our midst who will regret her death. On Sun? day morning her remains were placed to rest, aftei impressive funeral services, in the Presbyterian Churchyard in this place. A mounted rifle club, called the "Hamp? ton Guards," was formed at Temperance Hall, near Neal's Creek Church, on the 18th inst., and fifty members enrolled. The fol? lowing officers were elected: J. N. Vandiver, Captain; A.A. Carpenter, 1st Lieutenant; C. E. 0. Mitchell, 2nd Lieutenant; D. D. Gentry, 3rd Lieutenant; B. Frank Culbcrt son, J. Carrol Shirley, S. M. Major, J. T.

Major, Secretary. THE DEMOCRACY OF AN? DERSON ! Hampton and his Ticket Enthusias? tically Ratified! Grand Torchlight Procession?Firing of Cannon?Two Cornet Bands?Six Housing: Speeches?Fifteen Hun? dred Persons Present! On last Tuesday night the grandest politi? cal demonstration that has been witnessed in Anderson for fifteen years was conducted under the direction of the Executive Com? mittee of the Anderson Democratic Club in honor and ratification of the nomination of Hampton and his ticket #Q?his meeting had only been arranged for about three days be? fore Tuesday night, and for the time of preparation was the grandest affair ever wit? nessed by our citizens. During the entire day of Tuesday the most active preparations for the evening could be seen in the town of | Anderson. Flags of the Union and of the State were flying from many of the stores of the town, and every one was on tiptoe with excitement and curiosity. A number of | transparencies were prepared. Flags and banners were made. Flambeaux were fixed and cannon stationed in the Fair Ground. Late in the afternoon the crowd began to assemble in town, and by dark the streets and square were nearly filled with vehicles, horses and footmen. At about seven o'clock the procession formed in the Fair Grounds and moved down Main street in the following order: L Pendleton Band Wagon. 2. The wagon containing the speakers. 3. The persons on foot. 4. The Palmetto Rifle Club. 5. The .Belton Rifle Club. 6. The Mounted Hampton Riflemen. 7. The Hampton Guards. 9. Other persons present on horse? back. 10. The Anderson Cornet Band Wagon. The flambeaux and transparencies, were lighted, the flags were unfurled, and the cannon peeled forth at regular intervals. The appearance of the procession was very fine, and in its proportions as well as de? meanor would compare favorably with any political demonstration ever had in An? derson. the transparencies were well gotten up, and their cartoons as well as their mottoes were very suggestive. Some of them were "The straight-outs kick? ing oiit the played-outs." "The Edgefleld bull that changed Mackcy's tune." "Hamp? ton is going to Wade in Nov. 7th, 1876." "By Honesty and Reform we will win." Pictures of "Tilden, our next President;" "Hendricks, our next Vice-President;" "Hampton,, our next Governor." "The Democratic straight-out ten strike." "Ab long as he sticks we will stick." 'Tse tired ob dis load," represented the negro ridden by carpet-baggers, scallawags and a Hog(e). A lantern with Hampton's picture, "Liberty for South Carolina" and "Justice to all." 'Down with C hamberlain and his rotten crew." "Vote for Hampton and the straight-out Democratic ticket." "Slaugh tertime for our Congress Hog(e) Nov. 7tb, 1876." These and similar mottoes were upon the transparencies, and made their own suggestions. The procession reached from the residence of Mr. D. S. Maxwell to below Judge Reed's residence. When it reached the University hill it .turned and marched up McDuffle street and back to the public square, where-1 the offices up stairs were brilliantly illumi nated. Here a halt was commanded and I the speakers introduced. President A. J. Watt welcomed the audience in an eloquent speech, and introduced in succession Messrs. John B. Moore, R. W. Simpson and W. C. Brown, after which Messrs. James L. Orr, E. M. Rocker and E. B. Murray were called for by the crowd. The speeches were enthu? siastic and ringing with Democracy and the hope of victory. They were greeted with cheer after cheer, and received the best at? tention to the very last. After the speaking, Maj. Moore proposed three cheers for the Anderson Intelligencer, which were lustily given, and Dr. Brown proposed a similar compliment to the An? derson Journal, which was also responded to with a will by the crowd. Mr. E. B. Mur? ray then asked for three long cheers for Tilden and Hendricks, Hampton and victory in November. The shout was long, loud and hearty. All through these proceedings, the two brass bands discoursed stirring music, and did much towards enthusing the audience. Near eleven o'clock, President Watt re? turned thanks for the attendance and atten? tion of the audience, and for the services of | the bands, and invited all of them to come and bring their neighbors on Saturday week to hear our standard bearers. There must have been between 1000 and 1200 persons present, and it is to the credit of the crowd that they departed without the slightest indecorous behavior from any source, except the incident spoken of else? where. The meeting was a grand success, and fruit will no doubt be gathered from it. SANDY SPRINGS CLUB. An enthusiastic meeting of this Club was held on last Saturday. The following is a list of suggestions for County officers as made at this meeting: For the Legislature?R. W. Simpson, Jos. L. Orr, H. R. Vandiver and W. C. Brown. Clerk of Court?John W. Daniels.

MARTIN -TOWNSHIP DEMOCRATIC CLUB. The Club met at Clinkscales' Mill on Sat? urday evening, August 19th, and was called to order by Vice-President Robert Porker. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we accept the invitation to unite with the other Clubs of this County in a Democratic mass meeting in September. Resolrcd, That we heartily endorse the action of the State Convention in nominat? ing straight-out Democrats for State officers. Resolved, That we hereby ratify said nom? inations, and pledge ourselves to support the same. The Club is in a lively condition, and the members are energetic and determined in their efforts to secure a Democratic victory. Four new names were enrolled, which re? duces the number of those who do not favor the organization to nearly zero, and leaves it in a sad minority. The Club decided to make no nominations for Count} officers until the primary elec? tion, except for Trial Justice, and for this office the name of Geo. M. McDavid was suggested. The Club then adjourned to meet the fourth Saturday in September. ROB'T PARKER, President pro tem. Geo. M. McDavid, Secretary. Special to Builders and Contractors.?

Editors : As I wrote a commu? nication some time aim, looking to a co-ope? ration with the better class of Republicans as the most practical course for the Democ? racy, and as the Democrats of the State have deemed it advisable to make a straight out fight, and have put iu the field a ticket that ail can support who desire an honest administration?a ticket that defeat in the support of it will be more honorable than success in the support of the ticket that will probably be nominated by the Republicans? and have announced a platform of princi? ples broad enough for every man to stand upon who desires honesty and reform, I deem it a duty I owe to the public, as well as to myself, to say that I yield my opin? ions of expediency to the voice of the ma | jority, and shall support the ticket that has been put in the field, feeling that if we would be successful in this fight for hon? esty and reform, that we must ull lay aside, previous opinions, and all work for the consummation of what every patriot de? sires. Respectfully, JOHN E. BREAZEALE. A CARD. I take this method to thank my friends for the many acts of kindness shown me since I have been a candidate for the office of Sheriff, and to state that I believe that there is a majority of white men in this County who favor a wounded soldier in preference to a sound man for office, when i he is equally competent to discharge its du? ties ; and in order that that preference may be expressed, I decline my nomination, and the race I have commenced for the office of Sheriff, in favor of my opponent, a wounded soldier, Capt. W. T. Grubbs, who is well qualified to discharge the duties of the office. In conclusion, I desire to say-1 am not that wealthy man that I have been reported to be. I had nothing when the war ended, but was in debt over five thousand dollars, and have not been able "physically 'to work for anything since. My accumulation and fortune are, therefore, small, and any state? ment made to the contrary is' false.- But I thauk my friends for their interest in my behalf, and could only be induced to de? cline the race to prevent a needy, wounded soldier and good Democrat from being de? feated by men who are able to work for a living, no matter how worthy or competent such men might be. I shall continue to work for the Democracy without ceasing? will vote only for the nominees of the par? ty, and will vote for no candidate for office who will not pledge himself not to run for office if not nominated.

Are you troubled with Indigestaon, 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 discovery MEKRELL'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 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 worki this remedy, MER RELL'S HEPATINE never fails to bring about a speedy ana permanent cure. 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 jts ravages. In too many instances agents are 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. rFqr an 'elegant'prepara? tion that wOl impart ? 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. Sensible Advice.

IDESIRE to call your attention to tlie hew and wonderful improvement in Cotton Gins, which consists in Revolving Heads in the ends of the cotton-box, where;, by the friction of. the cotton running., against the ends of the cotton-box is de? stroyed.
