We are requested to announce that the Broadaway Democratic Club will not hold its regular meeting on next Saturday, but will meet on the next Saturday, the 14th inst., at 10 o'clock a. m., to hear the ad? dresses of the canvassers of the Democratic party. A full attendance of the citizens of both colors is earnestly requested. . Mr. R. F. McKinney has announced his determination not to employ any except Democratic .workmen in his boot and shoe shop. With this understanding he is afford? ing employment to two colored men who will vote for Hampton and his ticket. Col? ored men who join us need have no fear about support, for they can always get good employment. Wc keep the regulations as to the prima? ry elections of the Democracy of Anderson County -standing, so that there may be no room for any misunderstanding upon the part Of any Democrat*. We hope all mem? bers of Clubs will vote in the primary elec? tion, and that all Democrats who are not members will join in time to cast their votes in this election. We respectfully invite the attention of the-merchants of Anderson County to the factthht'the Intelligencer has a large circula? tion in every portion of the County, and hence would be a valuable medium for ad? vertising. There is no reason why an adver? tisement in this paper should not benefit the country stores as much as those in Ander? son. This is especially the case as to the merchants in other villages in this County. A meeting was held in the Court House on last Monday night to organize a Hamp? ton Club. Dr. W. G. Browne was called to the Chair and G. W. Hammond was re? quested to act as Secretary. Speeches were made by Benjamin Collins and W. H. Brockman. Four colored persons joined the Club. There will be another meeting in the Court House Friday night. We hope all the colored people of the town will be present. We are glad to sec that the railroad au? thorities have at last shown sufficient con? sideration for the town of Anderson to relay the flooring on the Main street bridge o?or the railroad. It needed it badly. The foot bridges on the same street and the bridge on McDuffie street are sadly in need of re? building, and we hope the railroad will have them attended to at once. A little expense now may prevent a serious accident from another falling bridge. The first train passed over the new trestle on Broadaway Creek last Saturday after? noon, and hereafter there will be no more inconvenience in getting over this portion of the G. & C. R. R. The construction of the trestle has occujiied a very long time, but the traveling public will feel gratified to know that the three montlis' delay has en? ded in the completion of an excellent and substantial structure, which will afford safe transit for years to come over the chasm rendered fearful by the late sad accident. There was an effort made one day last week to blow a colored Democrat up in Pcndleton. He was,a blacksmith employed in Mr. Hunter's shop,'and when he went to dinner rfornc Republican villain put a quan? tity of powder in his forge, which of course was exploded as soon as he returned. For? tunately the powder was not properly con? fined, and did no damage beyond .scattering the coals. The rascal who did this infamous deed has not been certainly located, but we hope he will lie fdund out and punished. There was a Hampton Reform Club or? ganized at Pcndleton on last Tuesday night. A colored speaker, named Thomas Holt, from Greenville, and one named Joseph Lofteh, dVora'' Walhalla, .made- speeches, which were well received by the colored people present. R. W. Simpson, Esq., also made a very excellent speech, after which the club was organized with eleven mem? bers. Much interest is manifested by the colored..men who joined, and it is expected that the club will soon receive considerable accessions. "Thy sweet face my Star," the latest song by Danks, and eminently his best effort, striking pleasing melody, combined i with sensible and beautiful poetry. "Tilden and Hendricks Grand Centennial Mareh," by; Goerdler, is another composition of more than ordinary merit; will be as popular as our reform candidates are, and will be accep-: ted^by, we hope, as large a majority. Price of song, 40 cents; march, 35 cents. Can be had of any of our music dealers, or will be sent by mail on receipt of price, by S. T. Gordon & Son, New York. We received a call on Wednesday morn? ing from Thomas Holt, a colored man from Greenville, who is out canvassing for Hamp? ton and his ticket. He has the recommen? dation of leading citizens of Greenville, and therefore deserves the encouragement of our people. He will speak in the Court House on next Friday evening at 7* o'clock, and we hope all the colored people of the town will be present to hear him. The Demo? crats will be glad to have any Republican speakers who desire to divide time accom? modated on this occasion if they will make known such desire. The following is a list of the officers elec? ted at the last meeting of Anderson Division, Sons of Temperance, to serve the ensuing quarter: W. G. Browne, W. P.; C. W. Webb, W. A.; James M.

The Abbeville Press and Banner announ? ces the death of Mr. Banister Allen, one of the oldest citizens of Abbeville County, which occurred at his residence near Lowndesville, on Sunday night, 24th of September, after an illness of only a few days. Mr. Allen was about eighty-five years of age, and lived all his life within a mile of the spot where he was born. He was remarkable for great business qualifica? tions, and possessed in a large degree all the elements necessary to financial success, which he achieved in an eminent degree. His honesty and fair dealing were known to all. Mr. Allen leaves a number of relatives and friends in Anderson.County, who will sincerely mourn his demise. COTTOU". Cotton has been coming in slowly still, and the price is about the same as last week. On Wednesday the prices in Anderson were, good ordinary, 81 to 8J ; low middlings, 83 to 9; middlings, 9 to 91. PERSONAL. Dr. George Brown and his daughter, Miss Gussie, of Dalton, Ga., who have been ' spending several months in visiting numer? ous relatives and friends in Anderson Coun? ty, left yesterday afternoon on return to their home. Dr. Brown is a native of this County, and lived near Belton the greater part of his life, removing to his present home in the year 3857. We are gratified to know that his sojouru in our midst has been a most pleasant one. He is now about 76 years of age, and we regret to learn is in declining health. We wish he and his daughter a safe and pleasant journey to their home. NEW TORE CASH STORE. The advertisement of Messrs. Arnstein <fc Rose published in another column will speak for-itself. T4iese young gentlemen are thorough business men, and their an? nouncements may be relied upon.. Their busiuess in Anderson during the past year has been large, and by the satisfac? tion which their goods and prices have given to the public it has been steadily increasing. By noticing their prices our readers will see that they can buy goods from them as advantageously as in Greenville or any neighboring market. We bespeak for them at least a trial from our people. ? CIRCUIT COURT. The regular time for the October Term of the Court of General Sessions and Common Pleas for Anderson County will begin on Monday the 16th inst., but we learn that it is probable the Court will not be opened until the Monday following, and that tlfc jurors and witnesses will be summoned for the 23rd inst. We will give further notice as to this next week. The Grand Jury will be the same one which has served during the previous portion of this year, and the fol? lowing citizens have been drawn to serve upon the petit jury: . William Watkins; Warren Morris, (col? ored); H. 0. King; Thomas Reid; R. R. Beaty; J. Baylis Smith; B. B. Breazeale; Augustus A. Dean ; Warren Norris, (col? ored); Robert Moorhead; Wm. M. Cooley; Robert J.Pool; Richard Earle, (colored); [ A. R. Broyles ; Pinkney Sanders, (colored) ; James Brown, (colored); Peter Clinkscales, (colored); Thomas Bibb, (colored); E. B. Rice; Isaac C.

Watson; Reuben Martin; Elijah Stewart; Nathan Harris ; John B. Levcrett; Archi? bald S. Saddler; Reuben P. Clinkscales; James Webb; John M. Glenn; Julius Thomas, Sr., (colored.) A CARD. Messrs. Editors : There are many good men nominated for County Commissioners in this County, but we think there is one that should be a Commissioner, yet not nominated, and we suggest the name of W. S. Hall. Mr. Hall has made a map of this County; lie has surveyed every branch, creek and road in the County; he therefore knows the County, its wants and necessities, and, in addition to this, he is perfectly hon? est, trust-worthy and reliable; he has good judgment, good habits, and, in our judg? ment, the very man that the County now I needs for Commissioner; and we bring his name before the Clubs for primary election, for he would not run unless nominated in that way. We have no doubt that he will accept the nomination thus made, and will I be induced to accept by the next issue of' this paper, and. in the meantime, we be? speak a consideration in ljis behalf. MANY DEMOCRAT?. WILLIAMSTON ALIVE GRAND DEMOCRATIC RALLY THE CAVALRY OUT IN UNIFORM. Four Thousand Persons Present and Enthusiasalc Speeches to a Hopeful and Determined Array of White and Colored Democrats. The meeting at Williamston on last Fri? day was a complete success. The excellent music from the Anderson Cornet Band, the occasional thunder of the Democratic "Re? former," and the crowd of red, blue and green uniforms gave inspiration to the day, arid every one"was ready to join in the fre ffoeut apontanepns shouts jqf applause frorn the time the first company appeared to the close of the meeting in the.afternoon. THE rROCES3IOX. The-mounted men were, formed into.pro-' cession 'in a grove upon the hill, in the southern part of the town, under direction of the Chief Marshal, Col. F. C. May, who was assisted by Messrs. H. M. Prince, J. W. Cry rues, J. W. Kennedy and W. P. Cannon, Assistant Marshals. The order of the pro cecsion was as follows: The Anderson Cornet Baud in their elegant bandwagon. Carriages with speakers and invited guests ?the first vehicle containing Col. J. S. Coth ran, of Abbevillfi, Maj. John B. Moore, of Anderson, John C. Bailey, Esq., of the Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer, and Dr.-H. I. Epting, of Williamston ? the sec orSnShfcle with-James X. Hoyt and' E. B. Murray, of the Anderson Intelligencer. Dr. John Wilson, President of the Williamston Democratic..Club, and.Mr. J. Robert Wilson, of Williariiston ? the third vehicle with Col. W. S. Pickens, Col. W. D. Wilkes, Col. J. D. King and Win. M. Cooley, Esq. Then came the mounted men, numbering in the aggregate between fifteen and sixteen hundred men, including twenty-two com? mands, with an average membership of seventy-five. It was the best display of uniforms we have witnessed at any of the meetings, as nearly all the companies were decked but-in bright colors, which added largely to the imposing effect of the caval? cade, stretching clear across the town for more than a mile in length. The clubs rep? resented were as follows: Hampton Legion Club?R. V. Acker, President. Honca Path Club, commanded by D. S. McCullough. Martin Township, by R. E. Parker. Flat Rock, by W. T. Dean. Hampton Riflemen, by Joseph B. Moore. Centreville Mills, by W. T. McGill. Hunter's Spring, by J. Belton Watson. Hopewell, by B. C. Martin. Sandy Springs, by W. D. Garrison. Five Forks, by Jesse W. Robins. Slabtown, by George A. Rankin. Easley's.Station, by Elias Day. Brushy Creek, by I. W. Pickens. Oak Lawn, by G. W. Sullivan, jr. . Dunklin, by J. L. McCullough. Hampton Guard, J. N. Vandivcr. Tilden Rifle Club, A. R. Cox. Belton Colored Hampton Guard, Solomon Wright, Captain. Saluda Guard, J. P. Cox. Fairview, L. H. W. Terry. Grove Station, C. D. Ncsbit. McGee's Mounted Club, A. C. McGee. The men presented a fine appearance, and excellent order was .maintained on the route through the town. Each company bore the national colors, in addition to banners with suitable devices and mottoes. One of the Greenville clubs carried Morton's "Bloody Shirt/' with a conspicuous placard "To. Let" beneath it. The "colored troops" from Belton attracted great attention, and they were heartily cheered in every direction. The total number of this Club in ranks and duly mounted was nearly forty, under the command of Solomon Wright, who was as? sailed in the streets of Anderson for his Democratic principles a month or two ago. Upwards of two hundred colored men were in the procession, belonging to the different Clubs, and their enthusiasm was unsurpassed throughout the day. Besides, there were many colored Democrats who participated in the meeting, but were not mounted. The column was countermarched in the northern part of the town, and returned along main street to the grove surrounding the famous Mineral Spring, where the speaking took place. By request of the President of the Wil liamston Club, Col. James A. Hoyt acted as chairman, and announced that Rev. J. L. Kennedy would open the proceedings of the day with prayer. The fervent prayer of the venerable minister was listened to in pro? found silence by the vast concourso of peo? ple. 4t the conclusion of the prayer, Col. Hoyt introduced Col. J. S. Cothran, who he said would be the Solicitor of the 8th Circuit after the 7th of November next. COL. COTHRAN was received with long applause, and began by saying this was the tenth great political "love-feast" which he had lately attended, and that for order, enthusiasm and equip? ment it exceeded any previous meeting in his estimation. He referred in eloqueut terms to the union of sentiment among our people from the old men to the boys of our land. He spoke to the colored people of the cor? ruption and fraud of their.party, and made a telling argument to them in favor of join? ing the Democracy in the effort to redeem the State. He told them .iat the white people of the State did not want them back in slave ry, and would not join in any effort to put them back if it was possible to do so. He said the signs of the times were propi? tious, and that a great victory awaits us in November. COL. W. S. PICKENS was next introduced, and made an excellent speech, arraigning the extravagance of the Republican party, and showing by stern facts that reform could be made and ought to be made in our State and National gov? ernments. He said that before the war our 'County was taxed not exceeding $6,000, and now it is taxed $78,000, and it costs more than $0,000 to collect it. He said that the great Democratic lion had roared for victory at St. Louis, and that his roar had been answered in South Carolina, and that we are now on our way to a National and State triumph for the Democracy. COL. W. D. WILKES was next introduced, and made one of his most happy efforts, to the delight of all his hearers. He told the colored people that he had voted with them for Scott, Moses and Chamberlain because they and their party were pledged to reform, and he believed them to be sincere, but had been disappoin? ted, as none of these pledges were fulfilled. He told them the State had been made bank? rupt by thieves and plunderers, and asked if any of them had received one cent of the money. (Cries of no, no.) He next spoke upon the misapplication of the school fund and the land commission swindle. At his request three rousing cheers were given for Tilden, Hampton and Reform. He then dwelt upon the relations which existed be? tween the two races, and urged that as their interests were the same they should act together. He concluded by asking the col? ored and white citizens to vote with him for Tilden and Hampton, to put bad men out of office and good men in their places. E. B. MURRAY, ESQ., was next introduced, and began by compar? ing this movement of the Democracy to the 6 toqudt of Mexico by Corlez. He sind that the enthusiasm of the canvass was pictured upon every face, and went into a comparison of ante bellum taxes with those since the war to show the cause of the enthusiasm. He referred to the land commission swindle'and to the abuse of the common school system by the Republican party, and condemned most severely Gov. Chamberlain for oppos? ing Democratic organization after recom? mending it when Whipper and Moses were elected. He argued to the colored people that they pay the greater portion of the taxes in various ways, and that the present gov? ernment does not protect them. He referred to the Democrats protecting colored men in Charleston, and asked if any Republican ever exposed himself to a. bullet to protect any of them in the recent riots.'. (Cries from the colord men fof no, not one, and they never will.) He told them if Hampton was elec? ted things would be better conducted in this State, and their wages would be increased. He closed by telling them to distrust the Republican promises of reform for they mean nothing, and said the whole crew of Republican leaders ought to be in the peni? tentiary. At the conclusion - of his speech a recess for dinner was announced, and the most elegant of basket dinners was spread to be partaken of by the crowd. After having eaten heartily of the good dinner, the crowd re-assembled, and wero first addressed by maj. john n. moose, . who made an effective speech to "both races. He was plain spoken upon the subject of protecting colored Democrats, and expressed thc-opiiiiou that it is-th<*duty, -of our-people to protect the colored inin.wnb joinAis' fxam .any attacks which may be made upon them. I He was frequently applauded during this portion of Ins speech. He ?? spoke of the unity of our people in the cause of reform, and told the ladies to lend their assistance in the work. He said that-we intend to elect Aikcn and turn hog out, and we also intend to eiect the entire State ticket. de. w. c. brown was the next speaker, and made one of his humorous and pleasant speeches, which called forth frequent shouts of laughter; He paid a glowing tribute to the ladies of Anderson County, and prophesied victory for the Democracy. His anecdotes convey? ed the corruption of republicanism to the colored people in a striking manner, and evidently had great weight with them.. He is one of our best campaigners. After Dr. Brown closed, two colored men made speeches, which are well spoken of by those who heard them. We regret hav? ing to leave before they spoke. The meeting was enthusiastic and order? ly, reflecting much credit upon the Wil liainston Club for their arrangements and management upon the occasion. A CARD. Messes. Editors : Asi'Billy" seems to be every now and then "pegging" away at the Auditor and Treasurer, suffer me to throw in a thought or 'so to make it"a little more interesting if I can. Then fellow-citizens, when you arc making out your vote for Treasurer at our primary election, don't forget your old officers who have performed the duties of both Auditor and Treasurer to their own credit and to the honor of our County. As one of these I would make'a proposition. If I should be returned as your choice at your primary election, and succeed in getting the appointment, I pledge myself to take all the responsibilities and perform the labors of the office for one thousand dollars, and when I settle with the State Treasurer I will hold on to the whole salary as now allowed by law and turn over every dollar of it except the thousand dollars for my services to our County Commission? ers for County purposes, and thus save to our down trodden and over-taxed people almost, if not quite, the entire County tax levy. What say you? will you trot the old "fell" through and trust him once more? if so you shall have his every effort to land you safely on the shore of a happy deliverance from a County tax levy. Who will do the same for the Auditor's post? Don't all speak at once. To be kept open for free dis? cussion until the 19th of October. Very Respectfully, W. S. SHAW. A CARD. Messrs. Editors : In a card published in your paper some time since, I accepted a nomination as candidate for School Com? missioner. In the same card I stated that it was impossible for me to canvass the Coun? ty at that time ; but that I would meet the peoplp during the summer months at their public assemblies. Long continued illness of members of my family prevented my doing so; and considering my very limited acquaintance with the people I think it my duty to withdraw from the contest; and I do so the more readily in view of the fact that the interests of the County can in no wise suffer thereby, as there are other gen? tlemen, worthy in every way to discharge the duties of the office, seeking the same. Mj relations with these gentlemen during my brief experience in the canvass has been of the most pleasant nature; and although I cannot contribute to the success of all, I can at least hope that they will come out of the campaign entertaining as kindly feelings for each other as I do for them all. I thank my friends for the interest they have shown in my behalf, and heartily join them in the grand work of achieving a Democratic vic? tory in South Carolina. Respectfully, JOHN P. BROWN. Fork; October 2nd, 187C. A CARD. Messrs. Editors : Having been nomina? ted for the position of County Commis? sioner, I take this occasion to return my thanks to the Clubs that have complimented me with their nominations, and to say that if nominated by the Democrats at the pri? mary election I will become a candidate for the position. As I agree with the principle that the office should seek the man and not the man seek the office, it will be impossible for me to canvass the County for the nomi? nation, and hence I shall leave the question of my nomination tothepcoplcof Anderson. Count v. Respoctfullv, D. E. CARLISLE. A CARD. Messrs. Editors: It has been suggested that the people of Anderson County make nominations for County Treasurer and Au? ditor at the primary election. The sugges? tion is a good one, and the name of WM. McGUKIN for County Treasurer will be supported and advocated by Ii i numerous friends. He is eminently qualified for the position, as is well known by all who have had business transactions with hint, and by his courteous and affable disposition, if elected, will give universal satisfaction.
