THE INETLLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. BBIEF MENTION. Dr. P. H. E. Sloan, of Pendleton, who is a general newspaper agent, will be pleased to collect and receipt for subscriptions to the Anderson Intelligencer. There will be a meeting of the Martin Township Democratic Club at Clinkscales' Mill on the firjt Saturday in February, at two o'clock p.m. A full attendance is de? sired. Wc are requested to announce that the Hopewell Democratic Club will meet at Ball's Mill on the first Satnrday in Februa? ry next, at two o'clack p. m. All the mem? bers of the Club are earnestly requested to attend this meeting. Mr. William B. Watson has purchased the Silcox place, situated about a mile and a qnarter north of the Court House. He has removed to his new residence, and is fitting up and repairing the premises. He will have a very handsome and commodious dwelling. We understand that the town of Pendle? ton offers to furnish Anderson with a few car loads of excellent mud?warranted to have superior miring qualities. We appre? ciate the offer, but as we have an abundant supply of this commodity already on hand, we must respectfully decline any increase by importation. The collection of taxes has been going on steadily since our last issue, and a large number of persons from the country have rode through the mud and disagreeable weather to respond at once .to "Hampton's call. Up to this writing there has been col? lected $1,514.25, which has been paid in by 372 tax-payers, white and colored. We "would call attention to the advertise? ment of the Carswell Institute, which ap? pears in another column. The principals have had considerable experience, and are thoroughly competent as instructors. Per-1 sons contemplating patronizing the Institute will do well to confer with the principals, I and to clip the advertisement from this issue for future reference. At the last regular meeting of Broadaway Division, B'o. 77, Sons of Temperance, the following officers were installed: J. B. Car? penter, W. P.; J. A. Shirley, W. A.; A. A. Carpenter, .R. S.; A. J. Kcown, A. R. S.; E. M. Holland, F. S.; W. P.Kay.T.; A. L?ngsten, Chap.; S. E. Gentry, C.; M. A. Kay, A. C.; James Martin, I. S.; D. D. Gentry, O. 8. For nearly five weeks now the earth has j either been covored by snow or drenched with rain, so that the pursuit of the agri? culturist has been completely suspended. This long continued wet weather has thrown our farmers very much behind with their arrangements for the planting season. In fact, little or nothing towards the prepara ration of land has been done, and the long continued rains have partially destroyed the benefits arising from the freezes and snow which preceded. The roads are in a horrible condition, and there is very little of travel through the County in conse? quence. The return of sunshine is wel - corned by all. FOBS LOCALS. Townville wants a Temperance Society. Excepting a few cases of pneumonia, gen? eral good health prevails. The early oat crop was not materially in? jured by the late severe weather. Farm work is backward, owing to the deep snows and continued rains. The people seem disposed to respond promptly and cheerfully to Gov. Hampton's tax appeal. Rev. E. L. Sisk has been re-elected to the pastorate of Townville Baptist Church for the present year. Townville Academy is not so prosperous as formerly, its support having been largely drawn upon by neighboring schools. After a three or four year's "vacation," Prof. B. F. Gantt has resumed teaching, having accepted a valuable school at Heph ribah Church, near Townville. The "region round about Townville" is densely studded with valuable pine timber, which fact, taken in conjunction with the general demand for lumber, is a charming prospect' for lumbermen with portable mills. The illicit whiskey traffic has been vigor? ously and boldly plied in this section since the fall months set in. Such is a more de? moralizing element in a community than a licensed bar-room. It is a pest and nuisance and calls loudly for the speedy interference of, the law. SAH DOMINGO. There has been considerable interest man? ifested by the colored people of this com? munity upon the subject of emigrating to San Domingo by colonies. Frequent meet? ings have been held, and we are informed that a resolution in favor of the projtct was adopted at a meeting at the Greeley Institute one night last week. It was also decided to hold a mass meeting of the County at this place on next Saturday, to which all the colored people of the County are invited. There ore the most exaggerated rumors afloat as to the reception which awaits them, if they go. Land, agricultural implements, <tc, have been promised, and these wild schemes and plans have as strong believers now as the famous "forty acres of land and a mule" had just after emancipation. The message of President Grant is no doubt the origin of these deluding agitations, but their object is, we believe, a political one. A laborer on the place of Mr. C. C. Ann strong was summoned to be here next Sat? urday to testify on oath why he voted the Democratic ticket. The summons was left by an unknown colored man, and has no authority whatever, but it shows that the meeting for next Saturday is intended to accomplish wme rascality. Our farmers should warn their hands not to testify or sign papers before any one unless regularly summoned by an officer of the law, for these rascals who pick up affidavits do not hesitate to make a man say a thing when he intends something entirely different. We do not mind, but on the contrary, would like a fair investigation of our elec? tion ; but we do not wish a mass ot affida? vits given which are at total variance to what the deponents desire to say. In conclusion, we would say to the color? ed people that there is nothing in this move? ment. The United States has no land in San Domingo, and cannot give any to col? ored people or to any one else. The whole scheme is a hoax, and is intended to accom? plish some political end. We advise the colored people to cut loose from these tricksters, either white or colored, who get up these measures for tneir own ends There is no chance for them to get any per? son off to San Domingo, and they know It; but then they can make the excitement pay them in another way, and so they are trying to fool the masses of the colored people. Watch them. ? The iron for the Spartanburg and Asheville Railroad is now being received in large q'tantities, and the work of track laying will begin very soon. It is cheer? ing to note such encouraging signs of material progress in these dull times. THE JURY COMMISSIONER. Governor Hampton has re-appointed Sam? uel Johnson as the Jury Commissioner for Anderson County, and Johnson has taken the oath of office under his new commission. This appointment was severely condemned two years ago when it was made by Ex-Gov? ernor Chamberlain, upon the recommenda? tion of Senator Cochran, and we are unable to perceive that it will prove more accepta? ble now. The County Democratic Conven? tion recently expressed its views upon this question, and favored the appointment of some other colored man than Johnson, who has none of the qualifications which entitle him to public office. We have no doubt that the Representatives from Anderson County, upon whose recommendation the appointment was made by Gov. Hampton, will comply with the request of the Conven? tion, and use their influence to secure the appointment of a more competent and suita? ble person for the position. CIRCUIT COURT. The Court of General Sessions and Com? mon Pleas for Anderson County will con? vene on the first Tuesday in February. All the witnesses and jurors summoned need not attend before that day, as there will be no Court on the Monday preceding.

The quiet community of Williaiuston was startled on last Wednesday night with one of the most shocking occurrences it has ever been our fortune to record. In a jealous rage at the refusal of a young lady to re? ceive his attentions and accept his proposals of marriage, a young man attempted to take the life of a young lady, and has thrown a gloom over respectable households by his rashness and desperation. The particulars are stated as follows: Between the hours of eight and nine o'clock on Wednesday evening, a young man named Lawrence Smith, of Greenville County, who was visit? ing the house of E. J. Pinson, Esq., induced the daughter of his host, Miss Pinson, to accompany him a short distance from her father's house, and without provocation in? flicted eleven or twelve wounds upon her person with a knife. He had been a suitor for the young lady's hand for the lost six or eight months, and it is supposed that her ref usal to accept his offers of marriage so enraged him that he resolved to take her life. The young lady was fearfully stabbed, and at one time her condition was consider? ed critical, but the latest information gives promise of a speedy recovery from her wounds. Lawrence Smith, after committing this terrible act, is said to have wandered about the vicinity of Williamston, but he was found the next day at his mother's resi? dence, near Grove Station, on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. His uncle, Mr. Trowbridge, upon hearing the facts relative to the tragic occurrence, immediately went to the house of Smith's mother, and carried him to Greenville, where he was placed in the custody of the Sheriff. He belongs to a respectable family, and is a young man of intelligence. He stated upon his arrest that he had always entertained the highest re? spect for the young lady, and declared that there was no premeditation in the act, though he exhibited no unusual remorse, and did not seem to comprehend the enor? mity of the crime he had committed. His friends claim that he is demented. The authorities of Greenville County surrendered Smith to the jailor of Anderson County, and he was brought to jail here on lost Sat? urday. Tribut? of Respect. The following preamble and resolutions were adopted at the last regular conference of the Anderson Baptist Church, held on the second Sabbath of the present month : Whereas, an allwise Providence, in the dispensation of infinite wisdom, has removed by the hand of death from our midst our beloved brother, F. 0. v. BORSTEL, who was for more than twenty years, a faithful, energetic member of tin's Church, and for a number of years one of its most active, de? voted and working Deacons, whose exem? plary Christian life we cherish with a fond rememberance, and whose untiring and self sacrificing labors of love as Superintendent of the Sabbath School endeared him to all interested in the spiritual welfare of the young. The death of such a Christian is a loss to the Church and the community, yet we recognize in this bereavement the hand of our Heavenly Father, whose judgments and ways are altogether right, and while we humbly and confidingly submit to this af? flictive* visitation, assured that our brother is now with the Saviour, whom he loved and served on earth, we deem it a privilege to give expression to the regard and esteem in which we held our departed brother. Be it, therefore, Resolved, That this Church has sustained a great loss in the death of our beloved brother, F. C. v. Borstel, who, as a faithful Deacon and member, devoted to its best in? terests, was untiring in his labors and pray? ers for its prosperity; yet we bow in meek and humble submission to the will of our Saviour, assured that He will take care of the Church for which lie shed his blood, and that his people are precious to him in their death. Resolved, That we tender to his family our warmest Christian sympathy in their sore affliction, and our prayers in their bereave? ment. Resolved, That a blank page on our minute book be dedicated to the memory of our de? ceased brother, and that the Clerk of this Church do inscribe upon it his name, birth, death and age. ' Resolved, That the Clerk of this Church do furnish the family of our deceased brother a copy of this preamble and resolutions, and that the same be published in the Anderson papers. \* A true copy from the Anderson Bap? tist Church book.

The golden ore is dug from the i mine, refined, and coined, by the labor ofj other hands and the sweat of other brows. Like children playing with an expensive toy, they can form no just estimate of its value. When the donor weighed it, lie cast into the balance so many days of unremit? ting and fatiguing toil, so many anxious and sleepless nights, so much self-denial and so much care. But the inheritor into his bal? ance only?pleasure. The one, values it by what it cost him ; the other, for what it will purchase. Like the prodigal in the Scrip? ture parable, he thoughtlessly expends it to gratify tke caprice and cravings of his na? ture. Then comes the last scene?the mis? ery, the remorse, and the long and weari? some journey back to the home of frugal in? dustry. But there are other prodigals. On her favorites our bounteous parent, Nature, has lavished her richest treasure?health. But the prodigal values it lightly, for it cost | him naught, and recklessly squanders it in riotous living. Present pleasure obscures future want. Soon the curtain rises on the last scene. We see him helpless, impover? ished?the rich treasures of body and mind all lost?in misery and despair. Remorseful conscience holds up to him the mirror of | memory. In his own reckless folly he per? ceives the cause of his present pain. He resolves to return. The journey is longand tedious, but if he persevsringly follows the right road, he will at length see the haven of his hopes in the distance, and Nature, seeing her invalid child afar off, will come out to meet him,' and receive him back with love and blessing. To find the right road homeward, the suffering prodigal should read "The People's Common Sense . Medical Adviser." Therein it is completely mapped out, its landmarks all indicated and its milestones all numbered. Read it Price $1.50 (postage prepaid.) Address the author and publisher, K. V. Pierce, M.

There is no doubt but the present condi? tion of all kinds of business and industry is fearfully depressed, and it behooves every family to look carefully to their expenses. Winter is coming on when children are liable to Croup, Whooping Cough, etc. Coughs and Colds will prevail everywhere, and Consumption, with other throat and lung diseases, will carry off many. These diseases should not be neglected. Doctor's bills are expensive, and we would advise our {eople to use Boschee's German Syrup. t never has failed. One bottle at 75 cents will keep your whole family well during the winter. Two doses will relieve any case. Sold in all towns in the United States, and by your Druggist, Wilhite & Williams. Advice Gratis. The Hon. Alexander H. Stevens says "The Globe Flower Cough Syrup has proven a most valuable remedy to me." Gov. James M. Smith, of Georgia says: "I shall always use it with perfect confi? dence, and recommend it to the public as a remedy which will afford that satis? faction experienced by me and mine. It excels everything for coughs, colds and obstinate lung affections." Ex-Gov. Brown, of Ga., says:?"He finds the Globe Flower Cough Syrup a most excellent remedy." Such endorsement by our great and good men deserves the attention of the afflicted. Those suffering from cough, colds and lung affections should use the Globe Flower Cough Syrup. It will pos? itively cure consumption. For sale by Simpson & Sadler.
