good showing.
Gov. Hampton has appointed J. C. White
field, Esq., Trial Justice for Anderson Coun?
ty, upon the recommendation of a portion
of the delegation from this County.
Court begins in Anderson on next Tues?
day. It is understood that Judge Cooke in?

during the two weeks term allotted to us.
B. D. Dean, Esq., the County Treasurer
of Anderson County, has paid twenty per
cent, of his last year's taxes to the Special
Agent collecting the Hampton contribution.
Pel sons wishing to purchase chemicals for
fertilizers, or wishing garden seeds or drugs,
medicines, &c. are referred to the advertise?
ment of Messrs. Simpson <fe Sadler. Be sure
to read it.
Sandy Springs Grange meets on Saturday
next at 10 o'clock a. m., when the officers
elect will be installed by W. T. McGill,
Worthy Master of Deep Creek Grange. The
public are invited.
Chicken thieves are operating around An?
derson, and hence we are compelled to admit
that a few of Chamberlain's supporters are
still to be found in our midst. Look out
for your hen roosts.
We would call attention to the advertise?
ment of Dr. B. F. Brown, which appears
this week. He offers valuable real estate in
and near the town of Anderson, for sale.
Read the advertisement.
Our correspondent furnishing the "Fork
Locals" sets a good example to other locali?
ties. We would be glad to have short,
crispy and fresh items of news every week
from the different sections- of the County.
The regular communion season of the
Presbyterian Church at Pendleton was ob?
served on last Saboath. Revs. W. C. Smith
and D. E. Frierson conducted interesting
services on Friday and Saturday preceding.
This is the time for purchasing garden
seeds, and the advertisement of Messrs. W??
hlte & Williams tells where you can find
them. They also have a full stock of drags,
medicines, &c., to which they ask the atten?
tion of the public.
j Jenny Gambrell an aged and respectable
colored woman, about 105 years old, died on
Friday last near Williamston. Her age as
rendered above is authenticated by a com?
parison with the age of a gentleman who
lias been dead for some years.
About sixty colored men-have paid the
Hampton taxes in this County. Some of
the farmers think the amounts paid by the
colored men are so small it makes no differ?
ence, but the Special Agent will be glad to
issue receipts to all of them.
The Grangers of Anderson and adjoining
Counties are making a very large order for
commercial fertilizer again this year through
Mr. W. W. Russell. It is understood that
the Etiwan has been decided upon, and
from its very general reputation we have no
doubt it will prove satisfactory to those who
use it.
Mr. Michael Clancy, a native of Ireland,
who has been a resident of this County for
a number of years, died very suddenly on
last Tuesday morning. He had been blast?
ing upon the arm of Mrs. Adaline Martin.
It is supposed that heart disease produced
his death.
' We would call attention to the advertise- |
ment of Messrs. MeCully & Taylor. This
is a new business firm, and we bespeak for
them a liberal portion of public patronage.
Each of these gentlemen has had considera?
ble business experience, and persons visiting
their store may rely upon courteous atten?
tion. Read their advertisement.
The following officers are elected and in?
stalled to serve Deep Creek Grange for the
year 1877: W. T. McGill, W. M.; S. New?

ing Mr. 0. H. P. Fant Chairman, and elect?
ing Mr. J. L. Tribble Clerk, and continuing
Mr. W. B. Hembree as Steward and Dr. W.
H. Nardiu Physician to the Poor House.
These are excellent selections, and we do not
doubt that the new Board will give great
satisfaction in its actions for the next two
years.
The advertising agency heretofore con?
ducted for Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cogs?
well by Mr. Roswell T. Logan has been dis?
continued, and the business will be conduc?
ted by Mr. Logan at the office of the News
and Courier on his own account. Mr Logan
Ls a gentlemen of fine qualifications for the
business in which he is engaged, and he will
no doubt receive'the hearty co-operation' of
both publishers and advertisers in South
Carolina.
Judge J. J. Maher has written an able
article to the News and Courier showing that
County Commissioners have no authority to
levy a tax without the Mackey House is the
legal House of Representatives. It is unfor?
tunate for our counties to be without money
in the treasury, but it cannot be helped for a
short time. The legal government of the
State will be fully established in a month or
two, and then all things will come right.
We are requested to announce that all

THE SAH DOMINGO ??Ei^G.
According to announcement and in obe?
dience to the behest of various runners sent
through the County by the Republican lead
era here, on last Saturday a number of col?
ored men, women and children gathered in
Anderson, expecting, with child-like credu
lousness, to hear something as to a plan
which was propo?ed to carry their race as a
colony to the Island of San Domingo, where
they could live without toil and harvest
without sowing?where the fruits of tropics
hang in ample profusion to supply the
wants of every settler. Some six or seven
hundred laborers left their work and came
to Anderson in quest of the news concern?
ing the "New Eldorado," to which they ex?
pected to start immediately. Soon after
reaching Anderson it began to appear that
the meeting was to be a political one, and
large numbers of the colored people who
came to town, realizing the fact that there
was no sincerity in the San Domingo move?
ment, did not attend the meeting. Some
three hundred, however, repaired to the
Greeley Institute and organized a meeting by
electing Seaborn McCurry Chairman, and
Green D. Williams Secretary. The meeting
was called to order, and Moses Lee. a coal
black descendant of Africa, with infinitely
more lungs than brains, offered a preamble
and resolutions, which for some reasou he
did not read, but called upon the Secretary,
who read them as if he had studied over
them for a long time. These resolutions
have not been furnished us, but in substance
I they commend the President's message
about San Domingo, and ask Congress to
[ adopt its recommendations. They then at?
tack the Democratic party on its labor pol?
icy, and denounce the white people of An
I derson as inhuman persecutors of the color?
ed laborers who have served them during
I the war, and in clearing and settling, the
; country before, &c., <fcc. They provide for
sending a copy of the resolutions to the
President, to each of the Senators and Rep?
resentatives from this State, to the Governor
of each State and to a number of Northern
Republican newspapers. These resolutions
were adopted without 'debate, and Moses
Lee offered another resolution, which he
got the Secretary to read, endorsing Cham?
berlain's administration, and asking his help
to secure the removal of the colored people
to San Domingo. This was also adopted,
and the crowd looked sorry that it could
not resolute something further, as it had
finished its work entirely sooner than was
expected. It is proper here to mention that
no white Republican attended the meeting,
and that Moses Lee, who lives upon Senator
Cochran's land, and has been one of his
political runners all the time, was in posses?
sion of all the resolutions. Senator Cocli ran
was in Columbia.
After the adoption of the resolutions
speaking was in order, and William R.
Parker, a colored preacher of the Fork
Township, who is under indictment for em?
bezzling school money, was the first spokes?
man for the day. He commenced by locat?
ing San Domingo, and saying that if the
colored people had to leave this country he
wanted a better home than San Domingo.
He then attacked the white people of this
country, and claimed that the country
was as much the black man's as the
white man's, because they had cleared and
drained it, and worked for the white people
until emancipation. He complained of the
people for not letting Republicans vote as
they please and continuing to employ them.
He said, that this harsh policy was driving
the colored men to starvation, and tha:they
I were living in huts in the woods and old
fields. That the time had come when the
father would go to the mother and say we
are all starving to death. Let us kill our
oldest child and eat him, and the mother
[ would object, and they would name over
each of their children and decide at last all
to starve together. (He had evidently for?
gotten that he was speaking to a civilized
people, and imagined he was addressing
barbarians at this sta^e of the meeting). He
said that the white people made it necessary
for the colored race to steal, for if they did
not give them employment they must live
anyhow. He then said that the whites were
false to their promises to the colored people,
for Democratic colored men did not fare any
better than Republicans. (He is either false
in this statement or he has proved that poli?
tics has nothing to do with the imaginary
hard times of which he speaks). He said a
great deal that was vile and bitter towards
the white people, but we cannot afford to
follow his incendiary and violent harangue
any further.
The next speaker was another colored
I preacher, Phillip Morris, who wanted to say
that he "don't know nothing about St. Min?
go," but that he did know a great deal about
the oppressions practiced upon his race in
this country. He said that simply because
colored men voted the Republican ticket
and tried to get others to do so they were
considered leaders, and the Democrats
would not. give them employment. He
said that besides this they did not half pay
laborers, and wanted them to work the
same as if they were well fed. He said the
colored people did not want anything but
a chance to work. This speech like the pre?
ceding one was of the most incendiary
character, and was evidently intended to
dissatisfy the colored people with the re?
muneration they received for labor He
said that the white people violated the laws
of God, and that he believed they had ceased
reading their Bibles.
After him another colored preacher, Elias
Terrell, undertook to discourse upon the
subject of going to "St. Gomingo," as he
termed it, and followed to a considerable ex?
tent the line of abuse indicated by the pre?
ceding speakers. His remarks were evi?
dently called forth by a desire to have a
voice in the wholesale abuse of white people,
which was the order of the day.
Next Gilbert Rutledge, Moses Lee and
Green D. Williams made speeches very
much in the same style as the foregoing.
The meeting, as we predicted, was purely
political, and at its close a secret session was
had in the Greeley Institute under the pre?
tense of organizing a co-operative store.
The whole affair was in a bad spirit, and no
doubt had its inspiration from Columbia.
Four-fifths of the colored men who were
present had no idea of what they were
doing, but honestly believed it was a genu?
ine movement to obtain a more prosperous
country. We do not believe they would
have attended had the meeting been legiti?
mately called as a political demonstration.

Wonderful Success.
It is reported that Boschee's German
Syrup has, since its introduction in the
United States, reached the immense sale of
40,000 dozen per year. Over 0,000 Druggists
have ordered this medicine direct from the
Factory, at Woodbury, N. J., and not one
has reported a single failure, but every letter
speaks of its astonishing success in curing
severe Coughs, Colds settled on the Breast.
Consumption, or any disease of the Throat
and Lungs. We advise any person that has
any predisposition to weak Lungs, to go to
their Druggists, Wilhite & Williams, and
get this Medicine, or inquire about it. Reg?
ular size, 75 cents; Sample Bottle, 10 cents.
Two doses will relieve any case. Don't
neglect your cough.
FOEK LOCALS.

Merchants have shut off credit in almost
every instance.Townvillc Grange, No.

primitive interest and attractiveness, but its
original members "cling to it with zeal and
fidelity.Townville business men wear
long faces and hang around their store fronts
sad and sorrowful, complaining of scant
sales and slow and difficult collections.
Several elegant cottages throughout the
Fork to take the place of log houses attest
individual prosperity at least.Wm. H.
M. Fant has been appointed Trial Justice
for this Township by Gov. Hampton. Mr.
Fant has served in this capacity before, and
makes an acceptable and efficient officer.
Very great dissatisfaction is expressed at the
re-appointment of Satn'l Johnson as Jury
Commissioner.Townville has two vacant
store-rooms, one of which is very elegant
and entirely new. There are also four or
five good dwellings vacant.G. E. Smith,
a young man who, for the last six years,
was employed in the store of ?l J. Gaines, at
Townville, commenced business lately, in
that place on his own responsibility. "Gen?
eral" is a good business man, and his popu?
larity with the people is only equalled by
his knowledge of the wants of his customers.
.The Methodists in the vicinity of
Brnce's Old Ford, in this Township, have
just completed a neat and commodious
house of worship to be known as Cedar'
Grove. Its incipiency and erection are due
to the devotion and energy of a mere hand?
ful of persons.
THE GREAT EXPOSITION.
We have received from the publishers,
Messrs. Hubbard Bros., of Philadelphia,
advance sheets of a forthcoming volume,
which will greatly interest every American.
It is entitled "The Centennial Exposition
Described and Illustrated," and is a com?
plete history and pictorial representation of
this grandest world's fair the world has ever
known.
The exhibits of the various nations are
taken up in the order of their prominence,
commencing with the United States, the
most notable and characteristic of whose
exhibits are carefully noticed, whether in
the Main Building, Machinery Hall, Aeri
cultural Hall, Government Building, Me?
morial Hall, or in the numerous smaller
structures erected all through the grounds
by American exhibitors. In the same man?
ner is treated Great Britain and her Colonies,
Germany, France. Russia and Brazil, minor
European states, South American republics,
Africa, Asia, so thai nothing that is of strik?
ing and prominent interest is overlooked.
Suitable space is devoted to a description
of the different State Buildings, and of the
interesting ceremonies of the great State
days, celebrating the individual prosperity
of the original thirteen States, and also of
the memorable parades and anniversaries
which have been held in Philadelphia by
the different organizations, societies, &c, in
. honor of the Centennial commemoration of
our national independence.
An interesting account is given of the re?
markable Live Stock Exhibition; Biogra?
phies of the prominent officials who have
conducted this, great enterprise with distin?
guished ability; particulars of the awards
granted to exhibitors; the superb and endu?
ring medals commemorative thereof; and
to complete this memorial volume, a graphic
delineation of the imposing closing ceremo?
nies of the Exhibition.
It has been prepared from material gath?
ered on the grounds, by the most careful,
patient and laborious research, and from
official sources, and though it does not claim,
as some do, to be by official authority, it
commands confidence thereby, Gen. Hawley
having announced that no'book has any
right to such a claim.
But the interest and value of the book lie
largely in its profuse and brilliant illustra?
tions. In this multitude of finely executed
engravings, the main features of the Exhi?
bition are vividly impressed on the mind of
the reader in a way that words cannot do.
It is next thing to seeing the great World's
Fair itself. We advise our readers to exam?
ine the book carefully should they have an
opportunity. We presume the publishers
want agents in this vicinity, and we hope
some of our energetic young men will im?
prove what seems to us an extraordinary
opportunity to favor our citizens and profit
handsomely by it.
Cloud Banners of the Alps.
Among the most exquisite scenes which
delight the eye of the European traveler are
those wonderful rose-colored cloud-banners,
floating from the Alpine cliffs. But it is
only in the sunlight that Nature hangs out
these beautiful tokens. So it is only in the
flow of health?the sunlight of our inner
eing?that nature reveals those physical
clor d-banners, the "rosy cheek" and "cherry
lip," to praise which every poet of the earth
has invoked the Muse to aid him. But they
are as rare as the cynical Hood conceived
Christian cliarity to be. Woman, eager to
retain this charm, resorts to French art and
rouge. The effect is similar to that which
would be produced by substituting auction?
eers' flags for the delicate glowing cloud
banners of the Alps. If woman would aid
Nature instead of adopting art, would seek
health instead of vainly trying to mask dis?
ease, she would not only win the greatest
charm of womanhood?health?but she
would avert much misery both from herself
and others. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip?
tion has received the highest praise from
thousands of pale, delicate, suffering women.
One bottle often affords more relief than
months of treatment by| caustics and other
medicines. It is harmless in any condition
of the system, and its use often renders the
modest in valid exempt from that most try?
ing of ordeals?a personal consultation with
a physician. It is the duty of every woman
'to become .familiar witli the causes and
symptoms of the many diseases to which
her peculiar organization renders her liable,
and also to learn the proper means of pre?
venting these maladies. The People's Med?
ical Adviser contains an extensive treatise
upon "Woman and her Diseases." The
Author also advises courses of domestic
treatment, which will often render the ser?
vice- of a physician unnecessary. Every
woman should read it. A copy of the Ad?
viser can be obtained bv addressing the
