The mass meeting at Williamston to-mor 'row promises to he largely attended. Bis- J tinguished speakers will be on hand, and a good time is anticipated. ^ Mr. J. L. Byrum is now engaged in finish? ing commodious brick dwelling just in front of the old borne of his father, and when fin? ished will present quite a handsome ap? pearance. We would call attention to the advertise? ment of Messrs. J. N. Sutherland & Co., of Belton, S. C.\ .They announce to the public that they.have on hand a full stock of goods which they offer cheap for cash. Mri Jos. W. Keys informs us that from a two and a half acre crop of German millet he has threshed 35} bushels of seed. This is a good yield, and the example set our farmers of raising their own grass seed at home a good one. S Messrs. T. B. Lee, J. Belton Watson and W. T. McElroy divided time at a Republi? can meeting at Lebanon on last Thursday night. The meeting "was orderly, and a strong impression was made upon them by the speakers in favor of Democracy. : Anderson Division, Sons of Temperance, will -elect officers to serve for the quarte/ commencing October first at its next reg? ular meeting, which takes place this (Thurs? day) evening. The members are requested to be prompt in attendance, as a full meeting is desired. The advertisement of L. H. Seel informs the public that he has just opened a new tin shop in Anderson, and will be grateful to his friends for a liberal share of patronage. Mr. Seel'is a practical workman with large experience, and bis accommodating disposi? tion will secure a goodly trade at all times. His,prices and goods will attract attention. ? We are informed that a Republican meet? ing will be held at Parker's Church, near Townville, on Thursday next, 5th of Octo? ber, and that the citizens generally, white and colored, are invited to attend. Efforts are making to secure Republican speakers from Columbia, and it is understood that an arrangement will be made for a joint discus? sion. Miss Lizzie Williams & Co. are opening a fresh and varied assortment of goods at the Ladies' Store, and are prepared to supply the fair sex with every article needed to make up a fashionable attire. M?s Wil? liams counts her' friends by hundreds, and we are confident that they will accord to the Ladies' Store the most abundant pat? ronage. A rifle club was organized at Brushy Creek on Saturday last, with the following officers: I. W. Rekens, Captain; L. Mullikin, First Lieutenant; M. E. Smith, Second Lieuten? ant; John T. Richey, Third Lieutenant; John H. Laboon, Orderly Sergeant, The company organized with 68 members, and will appear in uniform at Williamston on the 29th inst. . The action of Neal's Creek Bast ist church in suggesting the 20th of October as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer deserves recognition at the bands of all Christians in this State, and we trust that our exchanges will comply with the request to publish the resolutions without delay, in order that the day set apart therein may be generally known and observed. M. Lesser has just returned from New York, where be purchased on extensive stock of goods, which will be sold at ex? tremely low prices, and he wishes to remind old friends and customers that bargains are in store for all who come early. The cham? pion salesman, 0. Geisberg, is ready to pour out bis eloquence for the benefit of Leaser's customers, and invites the public to give him a trial.

A resolution was adopted which pledges the members to abstain from the use of spiritu? ous liquors on all public occasions. An ex? tra meeting will be held on Friday, 6th of October, and all citizens of the township are cordially invited to attend. A woman named Lou Busby and her son were arrested last Saturday on the charge of burning the residence of Mr. Turner Osborne, in the Fork township, during the previous week. The house was burnt in the day time while Mr. Osborne and family were at work inthefield, and consequently they lost every- J thing. Subscriptions have been gotten np for the relief of his family, and we hope they ! will be very generally responded to. We shall not attempt to give publicity to the statements concerning the burning, as the matter will be judicially investigated next month. The Brushy Creek Democratic Club held its regular meeting on lost Saturday, and re? ceived several accessions to its membership, which now aggregates 178 voters. The meet? ing was largely attended, and Col. W. S. Pickcns delivered a forcible and effective speech. A resolution was adopted to invite all the candidates for State and County offi? ces to meet with the Club on the first Saturday in October next at 10 o'clock a. in. The interest of this Club not only remains unabated, but grows more zealous and en? thusiastic es the day of election approaches. It will make a good report on the 7th of November. _ A COLORED HAMPTON CLUB. A meeting of colored citizens was called on last Friday night in the Court House, for the purpose of organizing a colored Hampton Club. It was very well attended by both white and colered citizens, and or? ganized by calling Dr. W. H. Nardin to the j chair, and requesting G. W. Hammond, Esq., to act as secretary. After the offering of several resolutions for consideration, it was resolved to postpone any action on per? manent organizotion until to-night, (Thurs? day,) when there will be another meeting. Messrs. E. M. Rucker, Samuel Johnson, (colored,) B. F. Whitner, W. H. Brockman, (colored,) James A. Hoyt, Benjamin Col Hns, (colored,) and Matthew Heldman were Cilled upon, and responded in well-timed, eTective arguments. We hope every color? ed voter in Anderson will be present to? night, and that a flourishing Club will be organized. i COUNTY AGRICULTURAL FAIR. The Ninth Annual Fair of the Anderson Farmers' and Mechanic's Association will be held on the 25th, 26th and 27th days of October next. As the time is rapidly ap? proaching, we beg to remind our friends throughout this section that the prepara? tions now making by the officers of the As? sociation are intended to make the coming exhibition equal iu interest and importance to any of its predecessors. It will depend largely upon the farmers, manufacturers and mechanics, who are asked to contribute the products of their industry, skill and inge? nuity for exhibition, whether we are to have a successful and imposing display, and to these classes we appeal with perfect confi? dence, believing that they will unite with the officers of the Association in keeping up the spirit of improvement and development so manifestly encouraged and promoted by previous exhibitions. The absorbing in? terest in political topics should not beget in? difference on the part of the public in this industrial display, and we would suggest that a truce be agreed upon for the three days allotted to the County Fair, and that the people generally observe those days as a season of recreation from the labor and ex? citement incident to a heated political cam? paign We feel assured that the ladies of the country will cordially co-operate with the Association, and most heartily sympa? thize with the suggestion that the County Fair shall be regarded as usual by all classes as a time for general re-union and cessation of labors of every description. The Board of Directors have extended an invitation to Gen. Alfred H. Colquitt, of Georgia, to deliver an agricultural address at some convenient time during the Fair. Gen. Colquitt has been the President of the State Agricultural Society of Georgia for a number of years, and only recently resigned that position, soon after he was nominated by the Democratic State Convention for the position of Governor. The election in Georgia takes place next week, and Gen. Colquitt will undoubtedly be chosen to serve the people as their chief magistrate. We sincerely trust it may prove compatible with his engagements at home to accept the invitation to come amongst us, and more especially because he is fitted by education and experience to give wise counsels to an agricultural community. Tha great success which attended the cooking contest last year bos induced the Association to offer another premium for the best dinner, to be cooked and served on the Fair Grounds, by any unmarried lady under eighteen years of age. The premium is a first-class cooking stove. Young ladies desiring to compete for this handsome and useful premium must give notice to the Sec? retary on or before the 9th of October, in order that suitable arrangements may be made. As the number of contestants will be limited, it is important that all desirous of competing for this premium will take special notice of the time fixed for entering their names. The list of general premiums embraces the customary variety, including all articles of domestic skill and industry. Premium lists can be obtained on application at this office. COTTON. Cotton is coming iu rather slowly, and the price remains down. On Wednesday it was selling in Anderson at 9@94 cents per pound. MASS MEETING AT DOUBLE 8FBING8. The mass meeting held at Double Springs on last Saturday was an entire success in every respect, and our friends of the Fork Democratic Club may congratulate them? selves upon the occasion. Between eight hundred and a thousand persons were pres? ent, including several hundred ladies, whose bright smiles and cheering approbation of the good cause enhance the enthusiasm and zeal of the campaign. Maj. G. W. Maret acted as chairman of the meeting, and in? troduced the speakers. Messrs. W. C. Brown, R. W. Simpson, James L. Orr, H. R. Vandiver and E. M. Rucker addressed the crowd before dinner, and Messrs. J. W. Harrison and John B. Moore after the recess. Several colored men made pointed and en? couraging remarks before the meeting closed, and the best feeling prevailed throughout the day. The hospitality of the Fork was exemplified in an unusual degree, and the whole occasion was marked by an earnest? ness and determination which presages a faithful and brilliant record on election day. A CARD. To the Voting Citizens of Anderson County: I am in entire accord with the platform and principles enunciated by the Democracy of our country; and one of their first decla? rations, when forming clubs for the cam? paign, was to make the office seek the man and not to encourage the seeking of the office by the man. But since the notice of my own name by kind friends of various clubs, I am urged to canvass, as others are said to do, but this I am unable to dc on account of feeble health, and my friends must therefore excuse what may seem to be indifference. I have never had but one po? litical faith?my motto is, "Honesty and capacity for office," the lowest possible taxes consistent with a creditable administration of the government, few offices and officers, short and working sessions by the Legisla? ture, low fees, salaries or per diem; let the officers be servants rather than masters of J their constituents, and encourage that gov? ernment which dispenses the greatest good to the greatest number. To these and kin? dred sentiments I am far from being indif? ferent ; nay, who could be indifferent or who can dare even to remain idle when our moth? er country is to speedily be redeemed from those shackles which threaten her dissolu? tion? for while she needed the smallest pos? sible measure of taxation, she has been dosed with a portion ten fold above her ability to bear; she needed a stimulant composed of equal parts of "Honesty and capacity," and instead thereof her pretended physicians gave her an unbearable dose of ignorance, imbecility and corruption; when her resto? ration required the fewest of well-skilled nurses in the various departments, she has been beseiged with an innumerable host of pretenders who fill every possible niche, and thus forbid even the breathing of healthy atmosphere, until she is well nigh suffoca? ted ; and, above all, when she most needed mutual confidence, forbearance and harmo? ny in the household, those quacks stirred up jealousy, animosity and bickering amongst her children, thereby giving to themselves the oppertunity?which they have made haste to improve?of robbing her tills, emp? tying her pantries, ruining her credit and degrading her children until they have so completely bankrupted her entire estate that even children's children must suffer in con? sequence thereof; and now those croakers have the audocity to tell us that they arc the only physicians that can effect a cure. May God speedily deliver us from such monsters, and may the people all cry, "Amen." I submit my past as a guarantee for the future, if on the 19th of October my friends place me in position as one of the cup bear? ers in nomination for the Legislature, though at a sacrifice, I will strive to serve with my might; if they prefer others, I shall be content cheerfully to step behind and assist in holding up their hands. With thanks to kind friends who present my claims, I remain, obediently, W. S. PICK ENS. September 23,1876. APPOINTMENTS FOR THE CAM? PAIGN. Rooms Cen. Ex. Com. Anderson Co., Anderson, S. C.

Let all unite in a hearty co-operation for the attainment of this end. JAMES A. HOYT, County Choirman. ANDERSON COUNTY SINGING CONTEN? TION. The eighth anniversary of the Anderson County Singing Convention was held by ap? pointment with Big Creek Church, com? mencing on Friday the 22nd inst., and con? tinuing three days.

After singing and prayer by the President the- Convention was declared open for the transaction of its appropriate business.

The Convention then went into an election for officers, resulting as follows: Prof. J. G. Douthit, President; L. W. Kay, Vice President; W. F. Cox, Sec? retary and Treasurer. Whilst the votes were being counted Mr. W. T. Grubbs conducted the exercises in music. The following committee were appointed: On assigning homes to delegates, J. W. Poore, J. R. Wilson, B. L.

Bethel Church on Friday be? fore the fourth Sabbath in September, 1877. J. G. DOUTHIT, President. W. F. Cox, Secretary. Messrs. Editors : I have noticed from time to time a disposition on the part of some of the Clubs to vote for a candidate for Treasurer of Anderson County. You will, therefore, allow me a small place in your paper to announce the nahie of an old and faithful servant of the County for that position. I refer to Col. T. J. Pickens, and I know of none more worthy to fill that re? sponsible position. He has already, in for? mer days, held the position of Comptroller General, and discharged the duties of that high office in a satisfactory manner. There? fore I take it that he is quite familiar with financial business, and would make us a highly competent and reliable Treasurer. AMICUS. Special to Builders and Contractors.?

Hoyt, Esq., Editor Ander? son Intelligencer: My Bear Sir?Will you allow me a small space in the columns of your valuable paper to make a suggestion to the Democrats in our County, and especially to our Dem? ocratic Clubs, for their consideration. It is this: If I am not mistaken, there are only four names spoken of in con? nection as candidates for the Legislature; and we are entitled to four Representatives now, and as "competition is said to be the life of business," I would respectfully re? commend that we run at our primary elec-' tion more names than the number to which we are entitled, as it would make the race more exciting, and interesting. Also, I be? lieve there has been something said about the people, seeking, the men .for office, and not the man the'4office. The name tbatl am going to submit for consideration has not been spoken of in connection for the Legislature, as I know of; and is one that would make us a good and efficient mem ' bcr; he is young, active, and very energetic, and a great worker, and .should be put tb work by the people while young. That name is Edwards B. Murray, and will be voted for at our primary election by MANY DEMOCRATS. A SAT OF FASTING, HUMILIATION AND PRATES. We, the Baptist Church of Christ at Neal's Creek, recognizing the great truth that the Eternal God rules in heaven and on earth; that the "powers that be" are ordained of Him; seeing the difficulties around us, and the dangers threatening us as a people; de? siring that peace and love may reign su? preme ; that the spirit of Christ may dwell in every heart, and knowing that our God will be "sought unto" by His people; that His ears are open to their cries, His hand ever extended to supply their wants, and that He is a refuge to which we can contin? ually resort and find direction, strength and safety; therefore, 1. Resolved, That Friday, 20th day. of Oc? tober next, be, and is hereby set apart by us, as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer, wherein we propose to abstain from all work, food, water, and all unnecessary in? dulgences, to humble ourselves' before Al I niignty God, repair to His house, and there j unite in constant,'earnest and faithful pray? er to Him, especially invoking His blessings [upon our land and country; that He may 1 turn aside His anger from us: avert calami? ties hanging over us; make the patlrof du? ty plain before us; give us grace and strength to walk in it, and so rule in the hearts of us and all His people that we may do His will, and exalt by our suffrages such men to rule over us, as that we, and all the people, may rejoice in the blessed assurance "that the righteous are in authority." 2. That we do now earnestly and cordial? ly invite all our sister Churches in this commonwealth, together with Christians of every name and order, to lay aside all differ? ences, all creeds, and unite with us (by as? sembling at their respective places of wor? ship or in their closets) in observing this day in the manner indicated, so that from seaboard and mountain, from valley and hill-top may go up one united, unceasing prayer?even as of one man?to our Heav Iy Father, in the name of Christ, asking for His forgiving mercy, blessing and protec 1 tion. : 3. That a copy of these resolutions be for* warded to each of our County papers; also, to the "Working Christian," "Religious Herald," "Southern Presbyterian" and "Christian Neighbor," asking their publica? tion, and that all the papers of this State, religious or secular, favorably disposed to this effort to secure the Divine favor, be requested to copy.

At a meeting of Townville Grange, held September 16th, the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That, as it has pleased Almighty God to remove from us our worthy brother, E. FURMAN TRIBBLE, that we have lost a most valuable member of our Grange. Resolved, That we leave a blank page to his memory in our Record Book.

To the Democrats of Anderson County : The undersigned, having been suggested by several Democratic Clubs for re-election as County Commissioners, respectfully an? nounce that they will not seek or decline the office, and if nominated at the primary election will serve the people as hereto? fore?otherwise, we will cheerfully support the choice of the people for this important position. 0. H. P. FANT, J. JAMESON. ?S" 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 the County. J?t~ Having been nominated by some of the Democratic Clubs for one of the County Commissioners of Anderson County, I take this opportunity to return my thanks for the compliment which was unsought by me. If nominated at the primary election I will become a candidate?not otherwise. In consenting to become a candidate I desire to say that I cannot undertake to canvass the County for the nomination. I believe that in this, as in every other case, the office should seek the man, and not the man seek the office. JOHN C. GANTT. The People Want Proof. There is no medicine prescribed by physi? cians, or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence of its success and superior virtue as Boschee's German Syrup for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the Breast. Con? sumption, or any disease of the Throat and Lungs. A proof of that fact is that any per? son afflicted, can get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try its superior effect before buying the regular size at 75 cents. It has lately been introduced in this country from Germany, and its wonderful cures ore aston? ishing to everyone that use it. Three doses will relieve any case. Try it. Sold by Wil hitc & Williams. Fine Sensibilities are Like Woodbines. Delightful luxuries of beauty to twine around a solid upright stem of understan cl? ing, but very poor things if unsustained by strength, they are left to creep along the ground. So it is with the body, when sus? tained by strength and health, then all is beauty and happiness. But when enfeebled by disease there is no silvery lining to the clouds. Gloom pervades all nature and hope dwindles into despair. Invalid, would you enjoy that estimable boon, health? Know that it is within your power. Thou? sands have been as bad off as ydu are. Strength to their enfeebled Hmbs, and joy to their desponding hearts has been imparted by the judicious use of Dr. Tutt's Vegeta? ble Liver Pills, the boon to suffering hu? manity. The Radical Programme.?The Co? lumbia Phoccnix makes the following statement of the programme agreed upon by the leaders'of the Radical party in this State: It has been divulged recently that the Radical party arc to hold no more public meetings during the present canvas?. This course, we learn, was resolved upon in i the secret session of the late Radical State Convention. The object of this move on the political chess-board is said to be to make it apparent that the Demo? crats intend to continue the process of intimidation, which, the Radicals allege, has already been inaugurated' in this State. The leaders of this faction hope in this way to be able to make out a case sufficiently strong to induce the authori? ties at Washington to declare at least half the counties in South Carolina under martial law, in order that the vote of the State may be cast for their party. The presence of Gov. Chamberlain at the na? tional capital, just now, accompanied by some of the greater lights of his peculiar creed, whose mission is presumed to be of a political nature, would seem to give some coloring to the statements made above. As additional evidence, it is a noticeable fact that, since the adjourn? ment of the Convention, there have been no Radical public meetings held, nor any announced to be holden. A colored member of the late Conven? tion, who went over into North Carolina, the other day, is reported to have di? vulged this programme of his party in presence of a Democrat, from whom we obtained the intelligence. . All of which may or may not be the truthi,,mt!, are, however, loth to believe that the. great Democratic party of - the nation would stand idly by aud witness such a flagrant violation of the Constitution, as the de? claration of martial law, perpetrated upon any section of the Union. That the Radical party should attempt such measures is but in keeping with their former history. The rule and ruin policy j is their motto, to which they are as fully committed as Ephraim was to his idols. - A gentleman who had married a sec? ond time indulged in recurring too often in conversation to the beauties and vir? tues of his first consort. He had, how? ever, barely discernment enough to dis? cover that the subject was not ah agreeable one to his present lady, j "Excuse me, madam," he said, "I cannot help expressing my' regrets for the dear deceased." "Upon my honor," said the lady, "I can most heartily affirm that I am as sincere a mourner for her as you can be." SPECIAL NOTICES. Questions for Every One to Answer.
