Thc Central Executive Committee of the petnocratlc porty of Andersen County will meet ot the office of thc hilde ?on Intelligen ter on next Monday, 25th of September, at 10 o'clock a. m. Members will bo punctual rt attendance. Messrs. J. A. Daniels and F. A. Daniela left on Monday afternoon, and Maj. P. C. v. H?rstel on Tuesday afternoon, for the Cen tennial and other foreign parts. Anderson has contributed a full share this season to thc Centennial travel. Between six and seven hundred citizens of Anderson County were in tho mounted procession nt Abbeville on last Saturday. The "Anderson Reformer" boro a conspicu ous part in the programme, aud thundered forth its telling echoes in appropriate style. The twenty-eighth annual meeting of tho | Anderson County Bible.Socicty will bc held nt tho Baptist Church on next Lnbhath at 11 o'clock a. m. Rev. D. E. Frierson is to preach thc annual sermon before the 8ociety. All who contribute anything to tho Society ore members. A full attendance is desired. Attention is respectfully directed to thc advertisement of our young friends, Messrs. Ligon A Hill in this issue. These gentle men arc preparing to meet the demands of I their fall trade, and by their reasonable prices and assiduous attention to business, deserve a liberal i>ortion of the patronage of | our community. Mr. T. L. Reid planted one-eighth of an acre in Irish potatoes last spring, and after using them plentifully for a family of eight during the growing season, and when the crop had matured he gathered fifteen bushels. This was a handsome yield, ano shows that Mr. Held understands tho culture of this excellent vcgetuble. We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Nancy Braswell, which occurred at her resi dence near Hunco Path on Friday lost. She was eighty-six years old, and died within a few days of her elder brother, the Ute Mr. pilas Massey. Shs had been n member of | the Baptist Church for fifty-ono years, ai.d had raised sixteen children. Her many rel atives and friends mourn her death. Thc torchlight procession at Abbeville on Friday night was an imposing afiiir, and was participated in by a great many of our citizens. Speeches were made by a number ] of gentlemen, including Maj. E. M. Bucker, who went down with thc Andorsonians. It is a little peculiar that the Radicals were attempting to bave a similar demonstration nt thc same hour in Columbia, but "Provi dence failed to smile jn them," as the heavi est storm known this season put out their torches and dispersed the motley gang. On Saturday, 16th inst., a large Democrat ic flag was hoisted in Williamston just over thc Railroad nt thc depot, where it can be seen all over town. It was rained by the Hampton Legion, Company D, who were drcssr-' in their uniform. After thc flag was raised, Dr. H. I. Epting and several colored men addressed the crowd. The coloied men all spoke for Hampton. After thespeaking, thc Company, dressed in uniform, mounted horecs and rode all ot er the town with shouts and hurrahs. Williamson is very enthusiastic bu politics, and expects a big time on the 29th inst. We would again coll the attention of our readers, and especially those who are inter ested in machinery, to the advertisement of | Messrs. Poole. <fe Hunt, so widely and favora bly known an Engineers, Founders ond Machinists. Ever determined to bc among tlic first in thc grand march of improvement, nnd to keep pace with the marvelous advance ] "f thence in science and mechanics, this firm ?parc no expense in perfecting the working capacity and appliances of their splendid establishment. Their new pattern and price lists, with many valuable additions, are now ready for distribution, and will be sent, postsgtt-paid, to those who make application for them. They have also on hand an ex- ! ecpUonally largo and comprehensive list of | miscellaneous machinery patterns. MESSRS. KW TO KM : I rejoice tooee and hear from thc various Democratic Clubs of our County that the good work is going so brave ly on. I writo to press it upon the minds of the citizens of our County not to fail voting ot our primary election for Auditor and Treasurer. Our pccplo have a choice aa to who should fill those offices, and let them ?press that choice by their votes, no matter whether their man has been nominated or not by any of thc Clubs. This is the good old way. I nm getting to be quite an old man, but it makes my heart rejoice and beat quick and lively when I hear of the maul Ings which our Democratic ?penkers arc giving to those heartless Northern adventu rers who have brought our glorious old Palmetto Stnte to degradation, 'starvation end ruin. Bnt ? do believe that there is a better day dawning, but for thc life of rae I can't cipher ont the precise tinto of its arri val. Fellow citizens, let us nil join heart ?nd hand, nnd mnke a strong pull and n long pull and n pull altogether nnd lnnd thc old ship of Stute in her proper moorings on the "th of November, with Hampton, Simp son and Conner nt thc helm.

I expect to devote all tLo time tlist I can sparc from DeniLstry to work for the success of Democracy, for wo im: .1 win. I heartily coincide with the opinion that the time hos come in our histo ry when it ceases to bc a question whether we can win or not; but we must have victo ry at any cost within the law. Since the war we have been conservative Democrats, coalition Democrats, eec, but now we arc determined Democrats-determined that rogues shall no longer rule; determined that they shall take np their legitimate quartern in the State prison ; determined that it shall no longer be respectable to as sociate with rogues; determined that vice and ignorance shall no longer rule virtue and intelligence; determined that carpet bagger Chamberlain and ail his crew shall stop robbing South Carolina, and that our own glorious Hampton shall rule our State and make us proud that we are Carolinians once more. W. G. BROWNE. The many friends of MAJ. R. M. BURNS recommend him as a suitable per son to represent them as County Commis sioner from the northwestern portion of tbe County. The different Democratic Clubs will please toko due notice thereof, and govern t' -cm selves accordingly. 8ANDY SPRIKOS DEMOCRATIC CLUB. BLOODY WORK Vt BARNWELL. Negroes Aggressors-A Number of Men Killed-Houses Humed-Railroad Tora Vp. AUGUSTA, QA., September 18. Mrs. Alonzo Harley, who lives near Silverton, Aiken County, 8. C., was as saulted at her residence, ?act Friday, by two negro men. She was knocked down two or three times. Her screams and those of her young son, alarmed the negroes, who fled. When the report of thc assault on Mrs. Har'ey became known, the neighboring citizens assembled ano made search for the negroes, one of whom was arrested and shot ; iLz other escaped. On Saturday, a warrant was placed in the hands of a constable who, with the aid of n poe:;?, of whites, attempted to make the arrest, which was resisted by a large crowd of negroes, armed with shot guns and Winchester rifles. Sunday the ex citement continued, both whites and blacks being arm CM. There are reports of a skirmish during the day, in which two or three persons were wounded. To ward night a compromise was agreed on both parties to disband and retire tc their homes. The negroes agreed to sunender the colored man who m ule the assault on Mrs. Harley, and deliver him over to the authorities at Aiken. With this under standing the whites dispersed, and while retiring to their homos it is reported that severalof thc latter were ambushed while crossing ROUSC'B Bridge, and shot by ne groes. A paesrnger train, from Augusta for Port Royal, which lei! this moraine at 8 o'clock, has returned. Procecdh... to Jackson station, the track was found torn up and a freight train, r.hich left here at 6 o'clock, waa found wrecked. The ne ? groes had possession cf the road. Super intendent Flemming, of the Port Roy al I Road, telegraphed to Gov. Chs'.ob irlain. I asking him for troops. He also applied ' to Lieutenant Bernhardt, of the United [ States Arny, stationed at Hamburg;, for assistance. A number of citizens ha?i left for the disturbance, which is abc ... twenty rates from Augusta, ott the Tort Royal Road. LATER.--The telegraph wire was cut on Sunday, that communication ex cept by courier has beeu cat off. It is known that Wood, E?&Vlln and Brush, white, arc killed, and that the telcgrapL I operator is missing. Several houses have j been burned. It is report'*! that six OT seven negroes have been killed. Sensa tional reports are to the effect that twen ty-six wnite men are among the dead. Reinforcements went down from Augusta yesterday. It la thought that United States soldiers from Aiken have arrived ere this. Tho belief ls that there has been a great deal of blood-abed.-Colum bia Phoenix._ Everybody who knows anything about Gov. Hayes knows that he is a wealthy man ; but nothing of the sort appears in Iiis oaths before the assessor. Thc campaign in Ohio will soon get a warming np. Among those who will make speeches there during the present month are Senators Franris Kernan. Lieutenant-?overnor Dorsheimer and Sam. S. Cox, of New York. The Washington authorities have is sued orders that the income returns of j R. B. Hayes shall not be subjected to the inspection of the press. "This is a sacred thing." , , In Charleston, S. C., it requires a vol unteer guard of conservative white citt tens to protect the meeting of a Demo cratic colored club from violence : but so far as heard from Gov. Chamberlain has not communicated this fact to the Presi dent. 8uch a clear case of "intiratda I tion" as this is almost enough to warrant I ar. extra session or Cnogre*a.-~?r. Lou* Time*. . . , New York Herald: "It Is pleasant to know that Tilden was once a nice little baby with coral beads on his neck and a spoonful of paregoric gurgling in his tnrott." Don't let the Time* hear of it, or it will accuse Tilden of having poi soned his nurse with the paregoric and ! stolen the beails from another baby. EDZTOll?L NOTES. L. Can Carpenter received the nomi, nation for Congress from th? Third Dis trict at the Laads 'of the Sepublicao Convention. H?ge had the good sense to withdraw, aa he waa not desirous of cbanginghisluck after so many triumphs, and ho feds confinent that Col. Aiken will be our next Representative. Furris con tea ted thc nomination with Carpenter, but the white carpet-bagger waa too much for tho "man and brother," albeit he ia the (?ame genus aa to foreign im portation. It is currently reported that the infa mous Maj. Lewis Merrill, (?he man who ia said to hare received $85,000 for hound ing down iunocent min charged aa ku Viux,) ia to be sent to Spath Carolina once more. He la to have three hun dred colored troops thia time. As he proved the most active fomenter of strife and discord here before, he ia the very man that the "bloody shirt" villains wish to station here again. He will be ex pected to do auch satanic work aa no gen tleman of the army would consent to execute. The name of Mr. John G. Thompson no longer graces tba head cf the editorial department of the Columbia Union Herald. Vor some days ihat paper failed to place the name of Elliott among the nominees of the State ticket, but at last the name of this worthy, whom Judge Mackey dubs "the leader of the robber band of South Carolina," is put up for Attorney General, and Mr. Thompson's name omitted as editor. If he ha* with drawn rather than edit a sheet devoted to auch a motley crew, he deserves con gratulation for this evidence of self-re spect. Will Governor Chamberlain enlighten us with information os to thc person who attempted to mako him pay for Elliott's silence, cither in money or promises T Aa the disclosures were by no means overwhelming, there ia 110 evidence thnt somo arrangement of the matter waa not made. The Governor owea it to himself and the people of the State to nemo the man who thus attempted to corrupt him. But, moreover, he owes it to B. B. Elliott, the nominee for Attorney General upon his ticket, to make a clear breast of the wholo ali'air, otherwise the public will have the right to believe that the nomi nee for Attorney General attempted to corrupt tho nominee for Governor, and that thc latter is now keeping thc secret of the former's connection with thc in famous attempt at corruption. Give us all the facts, or own np that the Repub lican State ticket hos corrupt men upon it in the most important positions. The Kcowee Courier says: "Car dina, aa old servant of Gen. Hampton'a family, died at Cashier's Valley Last week. Gu Thursday night bia remains were brought here and on Friday taken to Columbia for interment-ibu whole expense of tbe transportation and funeral being borne by Gen. Hampton. This is an every day illustration of the care and treatment of servants by their old masters, and is a truthful commentary on the misrepresen tations of the Southern people." Think of this act of General Haiaotou, colored men, in carrying oue cf your race two hundred miles that his remains in death may rest among the graves of his binn, ed and friends. Hos Governor Chamber lain ever done such an act of humanity for any colored man in South Carolina or elsewhere? Can you fear to trust your Interests as citizens to a man of such philanthropy and Christian virtue aa Hampton ? Judge Shaw end F. J. Moses, jr., have submitted the question as to the Circuit Judgeship to the Supreme Court for de cision. It is understood that a hearing will be had in a abort time, and the de cision in the case of Moses will also de termine the case of Whipper. In his reply to Elliott the other night, Gover nor Chamberlain declared that he was ready to obey the mandate of the Su preme Court, which had the power to compel him to sign the commissions of Moses and Whipper, and there bad never been a time when he would have refused to sign the commissions, if so directed by lue Supreme Court. It .is a trifle sin gular, while thia matter was in abeyance and the Governor entertained auch views aa to the power of the Supreme Court, that he went so fer as to issue commis sions for four years to Reed and ohaw. His present declaration is inconsistent with that act, in our judgment. Can a Governor issue and revoke commissions at pleasure? POLITICAL NOTES. Troops are wa..ted in South Carolina to prevent the negroes from stampeding to Wade Hampton. Grant announces that he shall settle in Washington when his term is out. That ought to be satisfactory to the rcat of the country. - The news from North Carolina is most cheering. Tho eloquent Vance is making a magnificent canvass. Aa a popular orator Vance has no superior in the country, if he has his peer. Grant is sorry he gave up the life posi tion of General of the Army for tho Presidency. The whole country partici pates in this sorrow. We can rejoice, however, that final relief from Granthun ia about lo be had. In the opinion of the Oourier-Journal, were Gabriel to descend and announce the end of all corruption, the New York Time? would bc out with a supplement showing that he was ono of the rebel angela ; that he didn't come by his trum pet honestly, and '0 .t the resurrection ought to be postponed. The Radicals employ for political pur poses during this campaign eighty thou sand office holders, a st?ndig army of twenty-five thousand men, every post office in the United States and the Asso ciated Press. The peoplo have heavy odds to fight against, but it is an encour aging fact that the robbed largely out number the robbers. Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, in a German speech in indiana, defines a rebel and traitor aa the man who "conspirca to fan sectional strife, to beget wur and riot: who is opposed to peace, prosperity and national unity; wno roba hia country and brings it into disrepute; in fine, a man who assaults and stabs hia country and his people." That hits Morton, Boutwcll, Kilpatrick & Co. right between ?he eyes. cu? vma*?mx imo VMinyfon, D. C. ?Sept, io, 1?76. THB OCTOBER ELECTIONS. , On the 4th of next month, Georgia frill elect a Governor. A? that State it so overwhelmingly Democratic, the peo ple of other States evince very little in terest in the election there ; tabing it (br granted that the usual Democratic ma jority ?rill be polled, or that, at aoy rate, jt will not be sufficiently reduced to in dicate a possible vote in November for V- Heyes? On'the 10th of next month, hov... . t, election* will be held? tntOafo rado, Inuii?t?Ma,^^ West Vtfgus?ftiwd intime anw?ety is exhibited all over the Union on the re ault in those Stajea, At the present wri ting, it looks aa if Indiana. Ohio and West Virginia will go Democratic ; al though the voto may ne very clea?, capt pecially in Indiana and Ohio : and that tho Republicana will carry Colorado, Io wa and Nebraska. But these Slate elec tions, although not to be ignored in esti mating probabilities, aro not entitled'to the consideration usually awarded them. Local issues, unknown to outsiders, often 8reduce majorities in the September and etcher elections that are reversed in the following November. For exemple, al though the Democracy carried Indiana, iu the Sute election of 1872, by 1,143 majority, Grant carried it, a month after, by 22,516. In some of the Webern States, the lager beer question la a prom inent local issue ; and many of tho Drew ers have combined to protest themselves from State ?egislation adverse to their In terests. They will tbereforo oppose, tooth and nail, any candidate, of whatever par ty, whom they suppose to bo a prohibi tionist. The feeling in the WeeHsr-atso strong und growing against Sunday legis lation; and-the ABjeric^as, in tbat?aet? tion, aw geU?n. - to Mwjflfjce Saine Germana for the 'ibwKrW'of Sunday laws. On all these local issues, the Dem ocratic candidate? for State offices are with tho brewers and their friends, and will receive their votes. But, aa the Feo eral Government has nothing to do with these issues, it may happen, as tn Indi ana, in '72. that the vote in November may be of an opposite complexion. It behooves us, therefore, in our effort* to elect Tilden end Hendricks, to ignore these local cuestiona which may be par amount in tue October elections, ano to confine ourselves to those of national im portance. Let us not mince matte? on this sub ject. It ia too important to be trifled with. Thia ia about the situation, now, in all the Western States. There ia a strong and pronounced sentiment that the present Administration has boen derelict io its duty to the people. The people understand very well that the war, primarily, brought about tho bard times ; but, for all that, the idea widely prevails that If thc Administration had clone its whole duty, the country need noland would not nave boem-rotte-pres ent wofu! predicament; and there ia no doubt that, under the circumstance*, if the people had entire confidence in the hon esty of purpose and in the patriotism of the Democracy and their candids^, tho Democratic ticket would be elected be yond a doubt all over tho West. But white tho Republicans arc flooding tho couutry with false charges against Mr. Tild?n of disloyal utterances and eels during tho war, cf having defrauded the ' Government, of having iaaued, in Mich igan, to bia workmen, in violation oMaw, paper money which he refused to redeem, of having been the friend -and adherent of Tweed until long after the crimea of the latter were brought to light by the New York Time?, a Republican sheet while these printed slanders are industri ously circulated, by the million, all over the country, by the Republican National Committee, aud are in the hands of eve ry man, woman and child, the Democrat ic National Committee and Mr. Tilden'! personal friends have, for some reason or other, neglected to refute them satisfac torily-and, iu some instances, have not replied to them at all. If the friends of Mr. Tild?n could be made to understand that the millions of elaborately prepared pamphlets, contain ing these unanswered slanders on our standard-bearer, are working incalcula ble mischief all over the country, they would certainly cautj them to be author atively denied, and to be proved to be faino, at the earliest possible moment. There is little doubt, notwithstanding all this culpable remissness, of a glorious victory in November ; but it is as well to make assurance doubly sure. THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOB GOV ERNOR OF NEW YORK. We are all glad, in Washington, that the Democrats of Nr-v York have at length got a candidate for Governor, Hon. Lucius Robinson, upon whom the various elements of the party in the State will unite. Mr. Robinson is a man of high personal character, and baa proved himself, lo the - responsible position, of Comptroller of the otate, which he now' bolds, to be (? man of good judgment and rare ex? ?utive ability. The fact that he waa Mr. Tilden'a second choice for the position gives assurance thut he will strengthen the Presidential ticket. It was thought here that Mr. Doraheimer, the candidato for Lieutenant-Governor, would secure tho first place on tba ticket, as he was understood to be Mr. Tilden's first choice. Both Mr. Robinson and Dr. Doraheimer were, until recently, Repub licana, and their nomination to the first two positions of honor in the State will ser it re to the Democratic ticket a large "Liberal" vote. THE CENTENNIAL. Travel to Philadelphia from all parts of tho country is increasing, and a very large proportion of the visitors to the ex hibition pass a few days in Washington. Thia they :.ro able to do, at no extra charge for car fare, owing to the patriot bm and liberality of President J. W. Garrett, oi the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road, who inaugurated the system by which travelers from'tho Westbound to Philadelphia can take Washington oh their way without extra charge. Or they may return home by the way of Wash ington, as they may choose.. Thc Cen tennial Exposition cr>res notalittle.ofItsi success to the co-operation of tho ofilccW of the several railroads throughout the country ; and these gentlemen have been accustomed, for yean, to look upon Mr. Garrett aa their leader in all public-spir ited enterprises, and to take their cue from him. TUE METRIC SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND' MEASURES. An earnest effort is bei. A made by the advocates of the International or Metric system of weights and measures to pro cure its adoption in the United States. An organization called the American Metrie Bureau, having its headquarters in Boston, now publishes a bulletin call ing attention to the advantages of this system. There is no doubt that the met ric system is superior in simplicity and in tell (gabi li ty to our present confused and arbitrary eystero, nr rather no sys tem ; and there ia no doubt that it will aooner or later come into use in thia country. It baa already been adopted in France, Germany, Austria, the Netb erlanda, Southern Europe, and South America, and haa been legalised in G rest Britain and the United State*.' 8FECf AL TO BUILDERS AKD COSTBACTOB*.
