THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. Three Cheers for Belton! Large Crowd Present and Great En? thusiasm. Special by Telegraph to the Intelligencer. BELTOif, S. C, August 30, 12 M. The mass meeting at Belton to-day is a grand success. The uttermost enthusiasm is manifested by the crowd in attendance, which numbers about ftifteen hundred per . sons. Of these about five hundred are col? ored people, who seem very much interested in the speaking. The town is aglow with excitement over the meeting, and perfect order has so far marked the proceedings ?f the day. The ladies are out in full force to give the approbation of their smiles to the occasion. There are about four hundred mounted men in attendance. The speaking so far has been warmly received, and has elicited round after round of applause. Messrs. D. Wyatt Aiken, James A. Hoyt, John B. Moore, R. W. Simpson, W. D. Wflkes, E. B. Murray and the County can? didates are the orators ofthe day. The meeting is presided over by W. C. Brown. A sumptuous barbecued dinner in waiting for those present, and the arrangements of | the day are in every respect first rate. An? derson Cornet Band in attendance. M. FUNERAL OF ORR. WAGENER. The mortal remains of Gen. John A. Wagen er were deposited in their last resting place in the Lutheran Cemetery at Walhalla on last Tuesday morning. A very large j concourse of people, composed of all classes and orders of Walhalla and vicinity, atten? ded his remains in procession from Bie mann's Hotel to the Lutheran Church, where his funeral services were conducted by the Rev. J. F. Probst in the German language, followed by Dr. J. P. Smeltzer in a discourse in English, after which his re? mains were taken charge of by Blue Ridge Lodge, No. 92, A. F. M., and buried with the usual ceremonies of the order, which were solemn and impressive. 3USINESS SUSPENDED. The merchants and business men of An- j derson have agreed to close their places of business from to-morrow (Friday) evening until Monday morning next, in order that every one may have an opportunity for enjoying to the fullest extent the great mass meeting on Saturday. This patriotic and unselfish conduct on the part of our mer? chants deserves recognition, and we take pleasure in placing the fact to their credit before the public. By means of self-sacri? fice and earnest devotion to the cause of | good government, we can surely and cer? tainly gain the victory for Hampton and Simpson. GERMAN LUTHERAN SEE VICES. The German immigrants in this neighbor? hood enjoyed the privilege of religious ser? vices in their own language on Sunday last. The services were held in the Presbyterian Church at eleven o'clock, and were conduc? ted by Rev. J. F. Probst, of Walhalla, who is the rnissionary of the Evangelical Luthe " ran Synod of South Carolina, and has been engaged for some time in preaching to the Germans throughout the up-country. Mr. l?robst organized a congregation in regular order, and afterwards administered the] Lord's Supper to thirty-two communicants. The services were solemn and impressive, and witnessed by a number of our citizens. The immigrants regard this privilege with great delight, and we are glad to know that arrangements have been made to secure the services of Mr. Probst at regular intervals. He will preach again on the fourth Sabbath in November to the immigrants around An? derson, and we learn that he devotes one Sabbath in every month to missionary la? bors of this kind. Besides the spiritual benefit which must be derived from such privileges, the regularity and certainty of | these services will tend to make these people more contented as strangers in a strange land, and we are gratified to know that the prospect for these advantages is now as? sured through the labors of Mr. Probst, who is a gentleman of fine intelligence and ex? alted character. Persons who are employ? ing German laborers in this section will extend the notice of the November meeting, and will doubtless aid most cheerfully in affording their employees an opportunity for its enjoyment. THE NEW TOWN COUNCIL. On Tuesday lost the new Town Council assumed control of our town affairs, and is organized as follows: Wm. McGukin, In? tendant; John McGrath, N. K. Sullivan, John R. Cochran and W. F. Barr, Wardens. As soon as the new members were qualified, the Council addressed itself to the adoption of some practical measures of reform, the first of which was the abolition of the Clerk's position. The duty of assessing personal property was devolved upon the town marshal, and the remainder of the Clerk's duties were devolved upon the In? tendant, who agrees to do the work without salary. The next matter considered by them was the marshaling of the town. The present Council reduced the number of | marshals to two, with a salary of six hun? dred dollars for the Chief and four hundred for the Assistant. Under this action the Council elected Mr. N. W. Grant Chief and Mr. William Turner Assistant Marshal. The saving to the town in the items of Clerk and Marshal's salaries alone is over four hundred dollars. The Council will enter at once upon the work of reform, and we have no doubt the government of the town will be as economical and as efficient as could be wished. The working of the streets is the next subject of importance, and we hope an entire change will be made in the present plan of work. One of the town mules should be sold, and the number of standing street hands should be discontinued. Han ds ought to be employed only in certain seasons of the year which are favorable for work, and then when no work can be done the town should not pay them to idle. We learn that these are the Yiews of members of | the Council, and will doubtless be carried out. So far we must say hurrah for the new Council. FORK DEMOCRATIC CLUB. The regular meeting of this Club took place on Saturday last, 26th inst. Among other business transacted, it was decided to unite in the grand procession at Anderson on the 2nd September, and the members will meet at the Three-Mile branch west of the town at 9 o'clock. Mr. A. J. Watt de? livered an enthusiastic and stirring speech to the Club. It was also decided to have a general mass meeting in the vicinity of | Double Springs Church on the fourth Satur? day in September, beginning at 10 o'clock a. m., and all ofthe candidates are respectfully invited to attend. Messrs. G. W. Maret, D. L. Cox, M. Palmer, James Gantt, F. E. Harrison and J. M. Kidd were appointed as the committee of arrangements. All the colored men were cordially invited to join the Club, under the pledge of protection in their rights of freedom and property. Eleven names were added to the roll of the Club. -. BBIST MENTION. Rev. M. McGee has been conducting an interesting meeting at Flat Rock, which ended in the addition of several persons to the church at that place. Col. D. Wyatt Aiken will deliver an ad? dress before the Patrons of Husbandry at Townville on Tuesday next, 5th of Septem? ber. The exercises will begin at 11 o'clock a. m. In our report last week of the nominations made by the Sandy Springs Democratic Club we inadvertently omitted to state that Major W. W. Humphreys was nominated for Pro? bate Judge. We cannot tell "Enquirer" why the road to Robert's Church has been fortified, unless it is for the purpose of keeping the candi? dates out of that country until after fodder pulling time. Mr. 6. F. Tolly wants the people of An? derson County to remember that he is selling furniture as cheap as it can be bought any where in the State. Give him a call and you will be convinced of the fact. One of the unfortunates under "that load of hay," says that he wouldn't have cared so much if it had not been for his company. The time has not yet come when the lion and bull can lie down together. Rev. E. R. Cars well has just closed a very fine religious meeting at the Hopewell Church, in which forty-nine persons were added to the church thereby conversion, and five by letter. The baptismal rite was performed on last Sabbath. A Rifle Club was formed last week at Midway, with the following officers: Cap? tain, W. A. Hammond; 1st Lieut., John W. Dalrymple; 2nd Lieut., Hammond Gail lard; 3rd Lieut., Q. W. Hammond. It has about fifty members. We are indebted to our young friend, Master Joel C. Keys, for a basket of deli? cious peaehes and two fine melons. ' 'Sweet'' is a generous and deserving youth, and is happy in the possession of a sweetheart, who we trust will ever smile upon him. We would call attention of our colored friends to the sensible cards from colored men, which appear elsewhere. Reflect upon the thoughts presented in them, and join the common movement for reform. It will benefit you and your children after you. We understand that a prominent Repub? lican of this place has said that our torch? light procession the other night was a fail? ure. If it was a failure, we would like to see a success, as we imagine it would be a big thing. Perhaps "that load of hay" in? terfered with his vision. If he will come out from under "that hay" on next Satur? day we will try and show him a success. A mounted rifle club called the "Tilden and Hampton Guards" was formed at Sandy Springs on the 26th inst., and elected the following officers: W. D. Garrison, Captain; T. E. Dickson, First Lieutenant; J. M. Rampley. Second Lieutenant; C. M. Mc Phail, Third Lieutenant; J. B. Douthit, W. T. McElroy and W. G. Bowden, Sergeants ; J. D. McElroy and D. B. McPhail, Corpo? rals. The Mansion House in Columbia has been lately re-opened by our friend, Maj. R. N. Lowrance, who manifests an aptitude for the business of hotel-keeping, and is quite attentive to the wants of his guests. The furniture is all new, and the table is supplied with the best the market affords. When you visit Columbia, enquire for the Mansion House, which is eligibly located on Main street. One night of the latter part of this month the residenge of Maj. G. W. Cox, of Belton, was entered by thieves, who succeeded in getting into the room of his son, Mr. W. F. Cox, where they took his watch and carried off his pants without detection. The pants were found next morning in the garden, but the pocket-book, with <en dollars and some* notes in it, was taken from them. No clue as yet has been obtained by which to locate the burglars. Every farmer and land-owner in the County ought to make strenuous exertions to secure the attendance of laborers and tenants at the mass meeting on Saturday. The colored people need instruction in this crisis of our polilitical history, and we are confident the invited speakers will be pre? pared to give sound and wholesome reasons for their co-operation in the great work of reform. Urge the colored population to at? tend and hear the truth. In taking the census of Belton township, the Belton Club inquired the politics of every man. There was an old lady asked by the census take]:, "What is your son's politics?" She replied that she had only one son; that he wtts a Democrat, and she wished she had a thousand more, for they would all vote the Democratic ticket. When our ladies become interested in politics, they carry their families with them. We wish all of them were as enthusiastic as the lady of whom we speak. The following gentlemen have been select? ed as the committee of arrangements for the grand ratification meeting on Saturday next, in connection with the County Chairman : J. A. Brock, D. S. Maxwell, R. S. Hill, G. F. Tolly, Jas. Wilson, John B. Moore, E. B. Murray, James L. Orr, W. W. Humphreys and J. Reese Fant. The committee has been actively at work during this week, and their labors have been cordially supple? mented by the generous co-operation of the ladies, who are assisting. to anange the decorations. On the 26th inst. the young men of Pen dleton organized a riflle club, with the fol? lowing officers; A. J. Sitton, Captain; J. C. Stribling, First Lieutenant; J. W. Simpson, Second Lieutenant; G. G. Richards, Third Lieutenant; B. C. Crawford, Orderly Ser? geant; B. S. Gaillard, J. H. Newton, J. C. Watkins and J. B. Whitten, Sergeants; Sam'l. McCrary, J. M. Duke, W. W. Pike and S. G. Roddy, Corporals. The club will be uniformed with red jackets, and will muster one hundred strong at the great ratification meeting on Saturday next. An enthusiastic mass meeting and basket picnic was had in the interest of Democracy at Donnaldsville on last Wednesday. There were about five hundred ladies and gentle? men present, and some rousing speeches were made upon the political issues of the day. In the morning. Prof. Hood, of Due West, Dr. J. C. Maxwell, of Greenwood, and E. B. Murray, of Anderson, addressed the audience, at the conclusion of which an abundant and elegant repast was enjoyed by in attendance. After dinner the crowd re? assembled and were addressed by Messrs. J. Y. Jones, R. R.( Hemphill and Col. J. S. Cothran. The meeting was pleasant and orderly. The people of Abbeville are up and doing. They intend to carry their County for the Democracy. James Miles, the colored youth whom it is alleged threw the rock which struck Solo man Wright in the Democratic procession the other night, baa been arrested and com? mitted to jail for trial at the Court of Gen? eral Sessions. The testimony shows that there were about five rocks thrown into the procession, and that one man could not have thrown all of them. While there can be very little doubt that one of the guilty parties has been arrested, it is equally as clear that there were others engaged in it. The investigation before the Trial Justice was conducted, however, simply with reference to Miles' case, and no effort made to bring to punishment the other criminals. The.Town Council made a weak effort to in? vestigate it further on last Monday, but de? veloped nothing. We hope the case will be vigorously prosecuted, and that the lawless and riotous will in future be deterred from interrupting peaceable processions in our streets. There was a union basket picnic of the Grangers and Democratic Club of Rock Mills township at Providence Camp Ground on last Thursday. Col. D. Wyatt Aiken made an excellent address to the Grangers in the morning, and entertained his audi? ence with practical and interesting remarks for two hours and ten minutes. The crowd was then dismissed, and enjoyed the hospi? talities of the many well-filled baskets which were prepared for the day by the ladies in attendance. After dinner the audience was re-assembled, and Dr. J. T. Cook, the chair? man of the meeting, introduced as the speakers for the Democratic Club, Messrs. W. C. Brown, J. S. Murray and J. P. Brown, After these gentlemen had concluded their remarks, Messrs. D. Wyatt Aiken, James L. Orr, R. W. Simpson, H. R. Vandiverand E. B. Murray were called for by the crowd, and responded in short speeches. There were four or five hundred persons present, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. THE SLABTOWN MEETING. The Democratic mass meeting at Slabtown Academy on Wednesday, 23rd inst., was largely attended by the surrounding coun? try. About four hundred persons were present, representing the Brushy Creek, Slabtown, Hopewell and Garvin Democratic Clubs. The meeting was presided over by Maj. Thomas H. Russell, who introduced the speakers. Messrs. R. W. Simpson, W. C. Brown, H. R. Vandiver, James L. Orr and W. S. Pickens, together with the candi? dates for county offices, addressed the multi? tude in earnest and effective speeches, which were well received and frequently applaud? ed. Then followed a good dinner, such as the ladies of that vicinity are gifted in pre? paring. Great enthusiasm was manifested on every hand, and the action of the State Convention was warmly endorsed. The following preamble and resolutions were submitted to the meeting, and unanimouslj adopted: Wheeeas, the recent action of our State Convention, in nominating a full State ticket, together with the enunciation of Erinciples adopted by that body, meets the earty approval of the citizens assembled in mass meeting at Slabtown. Therefore, Resolved, That the nomination of Gen. Wade Hampton, of Richland, for Governor of this State, and the Hon. W. D. Simpson, of Laurens, for Lieutenant Governor, ap? peals to the manhood and patriotism of the entire people of the State for endorsement. Resolved, That, in our judgment, the elec? tion of these gentlemen to the high positions $i)T which they have been nominated will give peace and prosperity to the whole State, and will be a happy solution of the great problem of harmonizing the feelings, the sympathies and the purposes ofthe white and colored races, living upon the common soil of our common mother. Resolved, That the corrupt and imbecile government, which has been fastened upon our people by means of the Republican party, under the manipulation of carpet? baggers who have invaded our soil, is a dis? grace to the civilization of the age, a foul blot upon the fair name of our beloved State, and we ask the co-operation of the good and true men of all races and parties in the great work of State redemption, i Resolved, That, in our judgment, the plan of campaign inaugurated so successfully in the middle counties of the State?to wit, free and untrammelled discussion?is the true policy for the whole State, and while we extend to the leaders of the Re? publican party a hearty invitation to unite in our Democratic meetings, giving them a fair and equal distribution of time with the speakers of our own party, we claim the right to an impartial hearing at any of their public meetings which may be held within the borders of our own County. Resolved, That in addition to our ablo corps of political candidates, whom as our chosen standard-bearers we expect to meet the foe on their own ground and" before their own constituency, and combat their un? founded claims to the further confidence and support of the colored people, we would designate, appoint and request the following distinguished gentlemen to assist in con? ducting this free discussion within our own borders, to wit: Hon. John B. Moore, Col. Jas. A. Hoyt, E. B. Murray, Esq., and Col. T. H. Russell. Resolved, That with Tilden and Hendricks as our national standard-bearers in the great work of Reform, and with Hampton and Simpson as the proper representatives of the party of honesty and reform in our State government, we buckle on our armor for I the conflict, and from this time until the ' day of election pledge our time, our talents, our property for the redemption of our be? loved State and nation from the heel of the oppressor. Resolved, That we earnestly call upon our colored friends for their co-operation in the great work of Reform, by means of the Democratic party, as after a trial of eight years ofthe Republicans in the management of our State affairs, they have shown an utter inability and willingness to bestow upon the State an honest, economical and good government. Resolved, That these resolutions and pro? ceedings be published in the Anderson papers. PLAT ROCK DEMOCRATIC CLUB. The Flat Rock Democratic Club met on Saturday, 26th inst. Col. J. W. Norris acted as President, and Weston Hays as Secretary, in the absence of the regular officers. Dr. W. C. Brown, of Belton, was introduced to the meeting, and delivered an appropriate and patriotic address upon the political is? sues of the day. Capt. J. W. Daniels re? sponded to the calls made upon him, and entertained the Club with some happy re? marks. He was succeeded by Elijah Wil? liams, (colored,) who made a speech of some length, renouncing and denouncing the Re lican party in the most positive and une? quivocal terms, and declaring his fealty to the Democracy, urging upon every colored man present to take the same course. He admonished his colored auditors to lay aside their stubbornness, which was keeping many of them away from the Democrats, after they were convinced it was their duty and inter? est to aid and assist in pulling down the evils of corruption. The Club resolved to participate in the ratification meeting on Saturday next, and also determined to meet every two weeks until after the election, which is an example worthy of imitation by all the Democratic clubs. Several names were enrolled, and other applications for membership have been made since the meet? ing. " BRUSHY CREEK CLUB. Brushy Creek Democratic Club met at Cedar Wreath School House on Saturday morning, August 26th, and was called to order by the President. The following res? olutions were then adopted: Resolved, That the nominations for State officers made by the late Democratic Con? vention in Columbia, meets our entire ap? proval, and we heartily pledge our support to said nominees. Resolved, That we accept with enthusiasm the invitation to meet with other Clubs in a grand ratification meeting on the 2nd Sep? tember proximo, at Anderson Court House, 8. C. Resolacd, That the Anderson papers be requested to publish the above resolutions. The Club adjourned to meet on the third Saturday in September at '2 o'clock p. m. Anderson, S. C, Aug. 24,1876. As a representative of Andersou County, I have received from E. S. Gaillard, M. D., Dean of the Faculty of the Louisville Medi? cal College, a beneficiary scliolarship to be given to sonic poor and deserving young man in this County. Any such will please apply to me at once. The school is a first class institution, and the scholarship saves the tuition of the session. J. L. ORR, Representative Anderson County. i GRAND BALLY of the ANDERSON DEMOCRACY 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.

JAMES A. HOYT, County Chairman. Messes. Editors : Can you inform me of the objects of the fortifications and trestle works thrown up on the Robert's Church road ? Do they expect an invasion ? The road was well worked with this exception. ENQUIRER. A CARD. Messes.. Editors : There is a report current that I have been organizing a colored rifle club in this County. I wish to take thii opportunity to emphatically deny this re? port. I am in favor of the colored raco living in harmony with the white people of our country, for I have found them to be our best friends. There is no reason why we should be at difference, for our interests are the same. What injures us injures them, and what injures them will certainly injure us also. I am not a member of any Demo? cratic Club, but intend to join one, and would take this occasion to urge my people to go with our native white citizens. We will lose nothing by such a course, but will advance our own interests, and serve the best interests of our State. We ought to help put a stop to the present corruptions of public men, and the Democratic party is the .party which will give honest government and justieo to all men. AARON McLEES. TO THE COLORED PEOPLE. Messes. Editors : Please allow me space to address a few words to the people of An? derson County, and especially to the colored people, upon the political situation of our State. It pains me to see the trouble and wrong which the colored people of South Carolina are bringing upon themselves and our State by supporting for office the corrupt and selfish white and black leaders who have misled them since reconstruction. I am proud to say that I have never voted for one of the political ring tickets. These leaders who care nothing for us are produc? ing strife between the races to advance them? selves to office, and whenever trouble comes they leuve the colored men to suffer for their crimes. They only desire to use us for their own interests, and care nothing for us as a people. Our school monies are squan? dered, and our children go uneducated. If my race want peace and prosperity, their best plan is to vote with the white people whom they know. I have been voting the Democratic ticket, and have never had any difficulity in securing employment. Our wages are low, it is true, but this is because taxes are so high in our State. I can assure my people that those who join the white people will have friends, and can make an honest living. If we could only secure an honest and economical government, we might begin to lay up something for our? selves and our children. The Republicans have had control for eight years, and have done nothing to reduce taxes and encourage labor. Let us try the Democrats one term and see if they will not do better. I hope my race will look carefully into their own welfare, and at once organize a colored Democratic Club to vote for Tilden and Hendricks and Hampton. They will ad? vance their interests and the interests of the white people by so doing. W. H. BROCKMAN. See to it that corruption in the govern? ment of the State perishes with this cen? tennial year. Two months is not a long time to work for the good of the State. Every man can do something every day during that time. Give us Hampton and a decent Legis? lature, and in one year there will be such a change for the better in South Carolina that it will make your head swim. Hundreds of thousands of workingmen are out of employment in all the cities of the Union. The remedy of Grant and the Republican party is to put the troops in marching order. The Attorney-General has instructed the United States District Attorneys in Alabama to commence suit in certain al? leged cases of fraud and intimidation during the late election in that State. Hampton is pledged to be the Govern? or of all the people of the State, and there is not a man in it, white or black, Democrat or Republican, but who knows he will keep his pledge. The Suinter Watchman has kicked out of the Democratic traces, and declines taking any part in the canvass. It wants Chamberlain, and calls him "the Pa linurus." The hands all along the line of the Combahee seem satisfied and have re? sumed work, and desire to continue, if Erotected. The arrested strikers have all een released. _ Knoxville (Tenn.) Tribune: The wise and patriotic declaration of principles is? sued by the South Carolina Democratic Convention show that body to have ac? complished a good work in their session. They throw to the breeze in the broad, open sun-light the banner of peace ana reconciliation?the banner of good gov? ernment for that unhappy State?ana all the friends of reform will rejoice that such wise and prudent utterances should come from the long-sufferiug Palmetto State. 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 troublM with feelings of languor? If you have these feelings we know you have not tried the new discovery 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 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 or evil, is effect? ing its deadly work, this remedy, MER? RELL'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, have our sympathy, but cannot be cured unless they take the Medicine. Is Tour Life Worth 10 Cents? 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 suffenngwith Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint and its effects, such as Indiges? tion, Costiveness, Sick Headache, Sour Stomash, Heart Burn, palpitation of the Heart, Depressed Spirits, Biliousness, <fcc., can take Green's August Flower without getting relief and cure. If you doubt this, go to your Druggists, Wilhite & Williams, and get a 8ample Bottle for 10 cents and try it. Regular size 75 cents. Two doses will relieve you. The Grand Secret of Beauty Is health. The secret of health is the power to eat, digest and assimilate a proper quan? tity of wholesome, nutritious food. This can never be done when the liver does not act its part. It is the great driving wheel in the mechanism of man, and when it is out of order, the whole organization becomes deranged, and fever, dyspepsia, sick head? ache, constipation, jaundice, bilious colic, kidney disease and general debility ensues. To restore the normal functions of the liver and impart that beauty, which always at? tend a healthy, robust constitution. Dr. Tutt's Vegetaale Liver Pills are conscien? tiously recommended. They are designed solely for the disordered liver and the dis? ease which it produces. They are not a cure-all, but in the cases mentioned they rarely ever fail to effect a cure.

IDESIRE to call your attention to the new 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. This improvement prevents the choking of the Gin or breaking the roll, and any common plantation hand can feed it. It does not injure the staple, and gins the seed much cleaner than the ordinary gins, thereby saving the planter all of his lint cotton. For speed in ginning. I do not be? lieve it can be excelled. As to sample, it will compare favorably with any other. This is the 46th year of the Daniel Pratt Gin Bus? iness, and during that time have made over 20,000 gins. In Alabama, Mississippi, Ar? kansas, Louisiana and Texas they are al? most universally used by the planters, to their entire satisfaction, and the same tri? umph is predicted for this State. Call on me and see this Gin before buying elsewhere, and I am satisfied that when you see it you will be convinced that the Pratt Gin will do you good. P. K. McCULLY, Agent for Anderson County. TESTIMONIAL. Anderson County, Aug. 9,1876. P. K. McCully?Dear Sir : We purchased a 60-Saw Revolving Head Gin of the Daniel Pratt make last year. We find it to be one of the best Cotton Gins we have ever used. It is impossible to break the roll of this Gin. It takes all the lint from the seed, makes a splendid sample, and the speed of this Gin is as good as any farmer or public ginner need want. We can gin a bale of cotton in sixty minutes. We cheerfully recommend this Gin to all persons using Cottons Gins. Respectfully, SMITH, JAMESON & CO. Aug 10, 1876_4_3m BUIST'S NEW CROP TURNIP SEED.
