THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. BRIEF MENTION. The pressure upon our columns this week compels a briefer notice- of various matters than we intended to make. Both local and general news comes thick and fast these days, The street hands have been engaged for the past few days in sanding portions of the side walk on Main street. It will be a de? cided improvement after the work has time to settle down. The Fourth Quarterly Conference of An? derson Station will meet immediately after preaching on Saturday at 11 o'clock. Rev. 0. A. Darby, the Presiding Elder of Green? ville District, will be in attendance. Merchants and business men are informed that we can supply them with bill heads, letter heads, note heads, envelopes, circulars and all kinds of printing at the most reason? able prices. Support home industry! We are informed that Charlie L. S. Stew? art, a lad of fifteen or sixteen years and son of Mr. George Stewart, commenced one hour after sun rise on Tuesday 3rd instant and picked 224 pounds of cotton. Well done for Charlie. ? The Committee from the Broadaway, Bel ton, Monea Path, and Martin Township Clubs,'which were appointed to make ar? rangements for the mass meeting at Crayton ville, are requested to meet at that place on the 17th inst; We are indebted to A. H. Jenkins, the ef? ficient Secretary of the Greenville Agricul? tural and Mechanical Association, fora com? plimentary ticket of admission to the An? nual Fair, which begins on Tuesday next and lasts four days. We would,caU .attention to the advertise? ment of Mr. M. Lesser. He announces that goods can be bought at the cheapest cash prices at the Centennial cash store of which he is the popular proprietor. He only, wishes a trial to convince the public. Rev. J. R. Earle has presented us with a sample of sorghum syrup made by his evaporator. The syrup is a fine quality, and a great improvement on the "surghum" so common in this section during war times. A large quantity of this syrup has been made in Anderson County this season. Mr. J. N. Byrum sends a sweet potato weighing four pounds, measuring fourteen inches in circumference ten inches in length, and Mr. Elias McGee sends one weighing four and a half pounds, measuring eighteen and a half inches in circumference and seven and a quarter in length. Both were mon? sters of their kind. The citizens of our town enjoyed a sere? nade from the Anderson Comet Band on last Wednesday night. The members of the band give these serenades occasionally and thereby gratify the musical tastes of our ! community. They perform excellently and our people are glad to be able to boast of having such an addition to our town. As will be seen by reference to another column of this paper there will be no Court at this place next week. The jurors, wit? nesses and littigants need not appear before Monday week, to which time the Court will be adjourned. We learn that it is probable no business other than that upon the crimi? nal side of the Court will be transacted at this time. The Executive Committee of the Young Men's Christian Association have raised eighty-one dollars to be divided between the sufferers from yellow fever in Savannah and Brunswick. They deserve the praise of all benevolent persons in our community for their exertions in behalf of these fever stricken cities. Our churches should also contribute to this object. The firm of Towers & Broyles has been dissolved by mutual consent, and the busi? ness will be continued at the old stand by Mr. A. B. Towers, whose long experience, strict integrity and reputation for fair deal? ing will secure a full share of public patron? age. He adheres to the motto, "Quick sales and small profits," and is better prepared than ever to exemplify its meaning for the benefit of customers. The following officers of New Prospect Division, No. 68, Sons of Temperance, were installed on Saturday October 7th, 1876, by Wm. Riley, acting Deputy Grand Worthy Patriarch: J. G. Riley, Worthy Patriarch; J. M. Harbin, Worthy Associate; J. J. Mar? tin, Recording Scribe; Miss Jane Snipes, As? sistant Recording Scrioe; Wm. Riley, Fi? nancial 8cribe; Jasper Hembree, Treasurer; Rev.8. Isbell, Chaplain; F. M.Morris,Con? ductor ; D. L. Hatcher, Assistant Conduc? tor ; D. B. Martin, Inside Sentinel; W. A. Bowen, Outside Sentinel. Col. F. E. Harrison returned from the Centennial on Tuesday morning. He pur? chased improved cotton machinery in Phila? delphia, and will inaugurate a new enter? prise at Andersonville in a short time. His machinery gins the cotton and makes it into yarn at a small cost, and by this process it is estimated that the farmer can add fifty per cent, to the value of his cotton. Col. Harrison is thoroughly satisfied that this process of converting seed cotton into yarn will prove a great blessing to the producer, and that in a few years the Southern people will spin nearly all their cotton before it is shipped. KAS8 MEETING AT DUE WEST. There is to be a grand rally of the Demo? cratic hosts in the neighboring town of Due West on Friday, 13th inst., and we arc authorized to extend a cordial invitation to the Anderson Democracy to participate with the citizenB of Due West on this occasion. Judges Mackey and Cooke, together with other distinguish*.^ gentlemen, are expected to address the m Mng to-morrow. A torch? light procession will inaugurate the proceed? ing to-night, and the mounted clubs are re? quested to assemble at nine o'clock to-mor? row morning for the grand procession. Capt. John E. Brownlee is the chief mar? shal, who will be assisted by R. L. Pratt, W. E. Barmore, W. C. Armstrong and J. N. Robinson?the Anderson Clubs reporting to the last named at Rev. Mr. Young's. The speaking will take place in the college campus. COUNTY REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. The Cou.ity Republican Convention met at Anderson on last Saturday to/con? sider the question of County nomina? tions. There was a small attendance and very little interest manifested in the meeting by the colored people. A joint discussion was had between Hon. J. S. Murray for the Democrats and Senator Cochran for the Republicans, which evi? dently opened the eyes of the members of the Convention as well as of the by? standers. It is the opinion of many of our citizens that much good was accom? plished for the Democracy. Mr. Cochran was kept upon the stool of explanation, and declared that he would not support Elliott, Cardozo nor Carpenter. The Convention declined to make any County nominations, and a motion to endorse the State Republican ticket was laid upon the table by the Convention itself bv a vote of three-fourths of those present. The Convention is said to have been a first rate Democratic aflair. DEATHS. We regret to learn the death of Mrs. Jesse P. McGee, which occurred yesterday morn? ing, after a long illness. She was a most estimable woman, and greatly endeared to a large circle of friends. Her remains will be buried at First Creek Church to-day. Mr. Jacob Martin, one of the oldest citi? zens of Anderson County, died on the 6th inst., at his residence near Piercetown. He was in the 87th year of his age. Mr. Paris Hawkins, another old citizen living on Rocky River, departed this life yesterday morning, aftera short illness. He was probably 70 years of age. POLITICAL MEETINGS. Messrs. J. W. Daniels, A. J. Watt and Thoi. Holt, colored, made telling speeches to the Centrerille Democracy last Saturday. They showed up the present infamous gov? ernment and re-enthused the people of this section. Msssrs. R. W. Simpson and J. A. Hoyt addressed the citizens of Hall Township on last Saturday. The interest of the people in this section of our County is on the increase, and the Democracy will poll a much larger vote than ever before. Messrs. W. S. Pickens and W. W. Russell addressed the Hunter's Spring Club on last Saturday in appropriate and interesting speeches. They report the cause in a flour? ishing condition there, but lament the lack of interest on the part of the colored people. Messrs. W. C. Brown, E. B. Murray, W. T. Grubbs and R. B. Ligon made speeches at Brushy Creek on last Saturday. There were about three hundred persons present, and an excellent basket pic nie was provided for the occasion. Several new names were added to the Club, one or two of which were colored. The regular meeting of the Town Demo? cratic Club was held in the Court House last Friday evening, and it was resolved to hold weekly' meetiegs until the election. Stirring and eloquent addresses were made by Messrs. R. W. Simpson and J. A. Hoyt, and Thos. Holt and Jonas Miller, two colored men, also made pointed and sensible speeches. We are requested to say that John R. Cochran, Esq., expects to be at Belton on next Saturday to divide time with the Dem? ocratic canvassers. The meeting which was announced for 2 o'clock p. m. will come off at 1 p. m., as there will be three instead of two speeches, and it is desirable to have the meeting close in time for the up train. We hope there will be a large attendance of both white and colored citizens. Messrs. H. R. Vandiver, W. C. Brown, E. B. Murray and T. H. Russell made speeches at Slabtown on last Saturday afternoon to a full attendance of the Slabtown Club. There were several colored men present, and eight additional ones of 'hem joined the Club. The colored people in this section of the County are very tavorably disposed to the Democrats, and many of them are expected to join before the close of the canvass. There was an enthusiastic meeting of the Democracy at Pendleton on last Saturday night. Strong speeches were made to the colored people by Messrs. W. C. Brown and E. B. Murray, after which twelve names were added to Captain A. S. Sitton's colored club, making it number twenty-six at thi3 time. Mr. Sitton is an excellent worker, and has done much towards the organization of the colored Hampton Club at Pendleton. He has also received efficient aid from several colored men of the town, and it is confident? ly expected to more than double the present number of the Club before the election. The Pendleton Cornet Band was present on last Saturday evening, and. added very much to the interest of the occasion by their beauti? ful music. The joint discussion at Parker's Church came off on last Thursday, and was a very good Democratic meeting. There were about five hundred colored people present, and about six or seven hundred whites. The mounted clubs of the surrounding country were present, and the Providence Club, under Capt. F. S. Sitton, and the Pen? dleton Club, under Captain A. J. Sitton, and the Townville Club, under Captain T. B. Palmer, were particularly noted for hav? ing a full attendance. E. B. Murray, Esq., was elected chairman of the Democratic party, and the discussion was opened by W. R. Parker for the Republicans. He made a bitter speech, appealing to the worst prejudices and feelings of the colored people, and was answered by Messrs. W. D. Wilkes, John B. Moore and E. B. Murray, who showed up the Republican party in general, and W. R. Parker in particular. Parker replied, but the colored people gave him poor attention, and it was evident he made nothing; but, on the contrary, the Demo? cratic speakers evidently divided the colored people. After the meeting some of the mounted clubs formed in front of Mrs. H. T. Brown's, and called for Messrs. R. S. Hill, E. B. Murray, John B. Moore, A. J. Watt and W. D. Wilkes, who made short speeches. Everything went off" quietly, and it was the general opinion that a good day's work had been done for the Democrats. MARTIN TOWNSHIP DEMOCRATIC CLUB. This Club met at Clinkscales' Mill on the 7th inst., and was called to order by the President. A committee consisting of five members was appointed to meet a like com? mittee from each of the Democratic Clubs of Broadaway, Belton and Honea Path at Craytonville on Tuesday, 17th inst., at 2 o'clock p. m., to make arrangements for a mass meeting at the latter place. The following resolution was introduced and unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the members of this Club will use every lawful means in their power to protect colored members of this Club from assault or violence by any person or persons on account of their becoming members. Several new names were enrolled, mostly colored. Adjourned to meet on the 19th inst. J. M. BROWNE, Pres. Geo. M. McDAVin, Sec. Carmel Presbyterian Church, October 1st, 1876. Messrs. Editors : At a congregational meeting, held this day at Cannel Church, in Pickens County, S. C, the Rev. Hugh McLees was called to the Chair and Wm. K. Boggs requested to act as Secretary. The following preamble and resolutions were then read and adopted: Whereas, the present critical condition of the governmental affairs of our State should cause all our people earnestly to implore divine help in this our time of great need; And, whereas, the Neal's Creek Baptist Church, of Anderson County, bos suggested the 20th day of October as a suitable time to observe as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer. Therefore be it Resolved, That the membership and con? gregation of Carmel Church accept the sug? gestion of our Baptist brethren as to the time, and earnestly request the concurrence and co-operation of all denominations of Christians throughout the State, white and colored, in the proper observance of a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer. Resolved, That our own people and con? gregation are urgently requested to lay aside all worldly employment on that day, and devoutly and reverently repair to our usual place of worship for religious exercises, and that our pastor, the Rev. Hugh McLees, be requested to preach a sermon on the occa? sion. Resolved, That the Anderson Intelligencer, Anderson Journal, Pickens Sentinel, Southern Prvslnjtcrian, and all other county and reli? gious papers throughout the State, be re? quested to publish. H. McLEES, Chairman. Wm. K. Bougs, Secretary. TO THE RIFLE CLUBS OF ANDERSON COUNTY. Akdkbson C. H., S. C, Oct. 10,1876. At your request, in behalf of yourselves and the mounted companies, to know whether D. H. Chamberlain's Proclamation on the 7th of October has reference to your organization, I have to say as follows: That there is not a single Section in Chapter 132, found in the general Statutes, page 726, that condemns or disallows your organization. Your organization is nothing more nor less than your Democratic Club mounted on horseback for the purpose of traveling to? gether to and from our political meetings. Not a member of your company is armed with a rifle or other gun, or has procured a rifle or gun, on account of your organization. You do not now possess, nor have you pos? sessed since the war, a pistol about your person or premises, or other gun or weapon, except those commonly used by planters. You have not banded or conspired together; you have not disguised yourselves upon the public highway or premises of another to injure, oppress or violate the person or prop? erty of any citizen because of his political opinions, or expression or exercise of the same, or hindered, prevented or obstructed the exercise, right or privilege secured to the citizens by the Constitution and laws of the United States and of the State of South Carolina. And unless you have done some one of the acts ennumerated above, there is not a letter of constitutional or statutory law that effects your organization, it being nothing more nor less than your club moun? ted aud traveling together to such political meetings as they choose to visit within their reach. Such is the organization of all the clubs. And in the clubs of this County not less than five hundred colored men ride side by side with their white fellow-citizens to the various political meetings held in the County. And not a Democratic Club, either in club room or mounted, that does not clamor for peace, quiet and order. Repub? licans have thrown rocks at mounted colored Democrats in said companies, inflicting great injuries upon their persons, which was not resented by the company save through the channels of the law by indictment. No vio- I lence upon the part of these companies or clubs has been offered to any citizen, the highest or lowest, within the County of Anderson. There has been less quarrelling, fewer difficulties, more quiet and peace, and better order preserved on the part of the citizens of this County than has been pre-: served for the same length of time since the war. Indeed, so particular and so careful are your organizations to preserve the peace that they have adopted a rule not to use in? toxicating drinks upon public occasions. And further, the Democratic clubs, or com? panies, are not insensible of the thirsting desire of Gov. D. H. Chamberlain and his party of thieves to provoke difficulties and collisions between the whites and colored, to the end that the races may be antagonized. In this he has signally failed, and his great? est trouble and mortification is found in the fact that the white and colored citizens have struck hands and pledged their mutual sup? port to each other and the State in the inter? est of good government. Mr. Chamber? lain's difficulty, therefore, is not on account of any acts of violence or disregard to law on the part of the clubs or companies, but it is because of your peaceable, quiet and determined course in the interest of good government. And more than all because the colored man has joined you in this effort to do good. There is not a letter of law, constitutional or statutory, that does prevent the Demo? cratic clubs possessing themselves and each member with Winchester rifles, if they de? sire to own them.. It is not the possession of the gun that violates the law, but it is that act which violates, hinders and ob? structs the rights of citizens, ennumerated in the first Section of the Act, and as stated in this communication. It is private prop? erty, and the Governor has as much right to demand the citizen's horse or other property as to demand his gun. There has not been a secret meeting of the Democratic clubs held in this State, and certainly not in this County. But her mem? bers go out on the highways and invite all, white and colored, to come. And the whites all come, and the trouble of Mr. Chamber? lain is found in the fact that the greater part of the colored men are likewise coming. And thousands of them are joining the Democratic party to vote for Hampton and Reform; and just here is where the shoe pinches. In-conclusion, I ask that in the future you will be as careful to observe the peace, quiet and good order of the community as you have in the past, which I am sure you will do, remembering always "that those whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." This is Chamberlain's game. He would make you mad; he would make you shed the blood of your fellows; he would make you kill colored men by the scores; he would make you destroy the good feeling between the races, to the end that Hampton may be defeated and he, with his miserable ticket, promoted to power. I am, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, JOHN B. MOORE. To Democratic Clubs of Anderson Co. I have been solicited recently by some friends to allow my name to be used at the Primary Election for County Treasurer. To those friends I would say that I have never sought office of any kind, but will give my consent for my name to be used at our primary election for County Treasurer. It may not be improper for me to say that I was born in South Carolina, and have lybeen a citizen of Anderson County for twenty-one years, and have supported no other party than the Democratic since I was old enough to vote; neither do I ever ex? pect to vote or support any other part}' so long as I know that party is the honest party. If I should be your choice at the primary election and receive the appoint? ment to the office by (Gov.) Wade Hamp? ton, I will give such bond and security as will allow me to visit every box in the County, and collect the taxes as in former times, which will give our tax-payers much less trouble than the present system. Should the voters see proper to select one more competent and worthy, I will cheer? fully submit. R. S. CHESHIRE. A CARD. I hereby tender my thanks to "Many Democrats" for suggesting my name to the Democratic Clubs of Anderson County as a suitable person to be recommended by them at the primary election on the 19th instant for Treasurer of this County, and answer them if I should be nominated and com? missioned, will discharge the duties thereof to the best of my ability.
