i We hope our citizens will not neglect our
County Fair, which comes off the last of
Ibis month. We hope every person who
em will have something on exhibition, and
that all will endeavor to attend for the pur- i
pose of examining the displays of energy,
thrift and enterprise exhibited by themselves
ortheir neighbors.
? 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,

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".

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

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

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.

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.
