TEE fflETUiJGMCER; LOCAL MATTERS. PXB30HAL. Wo had the pleasure of a call from Mr. 'Conan E. Sloan, of Greenville, on Wednes? day morning last. He represents business aa in a.very prosperous condition in thai city. He is engaged in a wholesale and re? tail drag business, and is offering to sell our people goods in his line at New York prices. ' He also represents the well known clothing house of Edwin Bates & Co., of New York. Merchants desiring goods in either of these lines would do well to make their orders through Mr. Sloan. LS CT USE. We are requested to announce that a lec? ture will be delivered in Temperance Hall, on next Wednesday night at eight o'clock, by Bev. D. E. Frierson for the benefit of the Weman's Mission Society. There will bean admittance fee of ten cents, far grown persons, and five cents for children. The proceeds from this lecture are for the foreign mission .work of the above Society; and "hence, we hope the hall will be crowded. The sum is insignificant, and no person will doubt that the lecture will be worth much more than the price paid to hear it, besides the fact that it is for a benevolent object. A SPLENDID 0FFJ5B. j We have made arrangements to club the weekly edition of the Charleston Newt and Courier with our paper at such rates as are unparalleled In the history of South Caro? lina, journalism. The agricultural depart? ment of the Newt and Courier will commend that journal to the fanning community, while its columns are supplied with the latest intelligence from all parts of the world. We are enabled to combine the two v papers at a price within reach of every one, and expect that oar friends will seize the opportunity at once. For the small sum of * $3.25 we will send the Lrxlxigbtczb and the News and Courier (weekly) for one year, payment to be made strictly in advance. Subscriptions received at any time. '?' ~~i?:~? TO THE.Q5AKQS5 OF 80?TH CAROLINA. Col. D. Wyatt Alken, in a late number of the News and Courier, directs the attention of the snfx>idinate Granges to , the proceed? ings of the recent session of the State Grange, and to the necessity for every sub ordinate Grange to ally itself actively with the. order by making known the name of its.Master and Secretary, with their post ? office address, to the newly elected Secretary of the .SUte Grange, Thos. W. Hollo way, Pomaria^ S. C The Secretary has extra copies of the proceedings, which cannot be sent to a great many Granges, because the recently elected Master and Secretary have not been reported to him. Although the proceedings of the State Grange appeared in ths LyrxixiGXNCEs, it is quite probable that many of the officers would like to get an extra copy, which can be secured on appli? cation, to the Secretary. Besides, it is im? portant in other respects that the address~of every Master and Secretary be in possession of the 8tate Grange: ' THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR. No farmer can afford to be without a first class agricultural journal, and we are always anxious to assist them in procuring the Taried and valuable Information communi? cated through such a channel. In a long experience in the newspaper business, after ordering hundreds of agricultural journals for our farming friends, we have never met, a subscriber yet who was not pleased with his investment. The outlay is so small that any one can afford it, and the benefit de? rived therefrom is measured by the diligence with which its pages are perused. Among the standard monthlies, which has furnish? ed practical and valuable information to the farmers of the South for many years, we place the Southern Cultivator among the fore-: most and worthiest. It is adapted to ihe wants of this section, and especially devoted to the improvement and elevation of Sou th? em agriculture. We are clubbing with this ' monthly again this year, and will be pleased to send the Imtexligxkczb and the Cultivator to any one address for $3.60. \ - - . AH APPEAL TO THE CHARITABLE. The Newberry Herald states that some of the people who were burned out by the re? cent fire in that town are in straitened cir? cumstances, and hare been reduced to al? most absolute poverty. Mrs. Whaley, who has several small children dependent on her for a support, lost nearly everything she possessed, including home and store, and there are several others sadly in need of aid. The general distress of the community has caused an appeal to the friends of the desti? tute sufferers in other portions of the State, and we cheerfully invite the attention of the charitable to this appeal. The Yonng Men's Christian Association has already made arrangements to secure donations in this immediate community, and we venture to ask that contributions from others, who may not be waited upon by the committee, be sent to the Imtklligetcxe office. All donations made through this, office will be acknowledged through these columns, and forwarded to our contemporary of the New berry Herald. LOCATION 07 RWBKEKY COLLEGE. The stockholders of the Anderson Educa? tional Association met in the Court House on Saturday last, to consider the feasibility of making a bid for the permanent location of the Newberry College, at this place. A proposition was made to donate the property now occupied by the Carolina Collegiate Institute to the Lutheran Synod, and the proposition was discussed for some time by the stockholders. Several amendments were offered to the original motion, and after an annimated discussion, it was finally agreed to postpone its further consideration until Saturday next, when an adjourned meeting will take place. The President was directed to obtain all the information he could in regard to the advantages offered by the New berry College, and to invite some one con? nected with the institution to meet with the stockholders on Saturday, for the purpose of stating positively its distinctive features and prospects. The proposition to make the donation has elicited much comment in the community, and among the stockholders there is an earnest desire to carry out in good faith the by-laws of the Association, which is to act for the best interests of the whole town and surrounding country in an educational point ? of view. Their individual interests are sub? ordinated for the general good, and upon becoming satisfied that the educational ad? vantages of the town are to be promoted by this donation of their property, we ore con . vinced they will act promptly to effect that ' end. No one doubts that the location of the Newberry College would prove advantageous to a great extent, but the question before the stockholders is whether or not these advan? tages are sufficient to warrant the gift of a valuable property, which cost originally $20,000. The mature deliberation of the stockholders will commend itself to the community, and whatever action may be taken by them will prove satisfactory in the end, we have no doubt. Other localities are seeking the removal of the Newberry College in their midst, and it is by no means certain that an offer from Anderson would secure its location here, although we believe that the Association has in its power a more de? sirable bid than can be made from compet? ing towns. BEIET MEKTIOH. ": Rev. W. H. Strickland will preach a ser? mon to the children of this community in the Baptist Church on next Sunday after ' noon. Services to begin at half-past three o'clock. We are requested to return the thanks of the Colored Band to the citizens of Ander [ son for the liberal contributions made for ' the purpose-of procuring instruments for 1 their use. The ladies will find an advertisement from Miss Delia Keys in another column, announcing the arrival of spring fashions. We bespeak a liberal share of patronage for Miss Keys. The stockholders of the Anderson Educa? tional Association are reminded that the meeting on Saturday next will begin at half past ten o'clock, and they are urged to be prompt in attendance. -Dr. E. 6. Murrah will be In our town next month, and will gladly wait upon all persons who need his services in the line of dentistry. His reputation as a dentist will secure for him a liberal custom. The Anderson Baptist Church has desig? nated the first Sabbath in April as'a day of special prayer and contributions for Foreign Missions. The missionary work is in great need of assistance from the churches. ? The advertisement of Mr. A. W. Todd in? forms the public that he is prepared to con? tract for the erection of new buildings and repairing of old ones. Mr. Todd is an in? dustrious young man, and deserves encour? agement and patronage That distinguished lawyer, Mr. Leroy F. Toumans, of Columbia, has our thanks for his able pamphlet, prepared at the request of Got. Hampton, entitled "Reply of Wade Hampton, Governor of South Carolina, and others, to the Chamberlain memorial." The valuable property known as the Pen? dleton Factory is offered at private sale until the 25th of April. Persons desiring to invest will consult the advertisement in another column, and call upon John B. Sitton, Esq., of Pendleton, who has the property in charge as receiver. The Young Men's .Christian Association has appointed a committee to solicit contri? butions in aid of the sufferers by the great fire in Newberry. Messrs. J. A. Brock, L. P. Smith and W. 8. Sharpe constitute the committee, and it is hoped that a liberal re? sponse will be made by our citizens. TEX OBUIVX??X HOTEL, The people of Greenville now have a hotel that is fully up to the progress and pros? perity of the Mountain City. It is under the efficient management of CoL A. M. Speights, the editor and proprietor of the Greenville Daily News, who Is giving the people who visit Greenville a practical proof of the fact that he not only can run a live and progressive daily newspaper, but that j he is one of the best landlords in South Car? olina. He is working a revolution in the hotel business of Greenville, and is destined we believe to achieve a great reputation by his attention to the wants of bis guests and the sumptuous bill of fare which he regular? ly serves. We had the pleasure of a tour through his hotel on last Tuesday, 'and can? not soy too much for the cleanliness, neat? ness and elegance of the commodious and well-ventilated rooms, which are furnished in a manner to please the most fastidious. The table is supplied in the most sumptu? ous manner, and is ahead of anything this1 side of Charleston for variety and the quali? ties which tempt the appetite. Every one who visits Greenville should avail himself of the opportunity of stopping at a real first class hotel in the up-country by going to the Greenville Hotel, where they will cer? tainly be pleased. THE FEHCE LAW. Our farmers ere still agitating the fence law, or more properly the "stock law," by which the stock is to be fenced Instead of .the crops. The matter is discussed at Grange meetings, and there i? a general disposition to make one more effort to secure this law for Anderson County. Many of the farmers who had been waiting for the passage of such a law, evidently allowed their fencing to become dilapidated in the lost few years, and recently, have been obliged to undergo great expense to repair fences, in order to make a crop this year. They have had an opportunity of judging as to the cost of fencing, and are doubtless more than ever convinced that it is an exorbitant tax upon their resources. Others who were opposed to the application of such a law to Anderson County have become convinced that the best interests of the farmers generally de? mand that such a great outlay for fencing every year 'ought to be stopped, and that it is far cheaper and more satisfactory to fence the stock. We have no donbt that a ma? jority almost equal to Hampton's majority last fall could be secured for a "stock law" in this County. Our attention has been di? rected to this subject at the present time by the"perusal of a letter from Mecklenburg Comity, N. C, where a stock law has been in operation for several years. Mr. Robert Stevenson wrote a letter some time ago to Rev. J. C. Chalmers, who is well known to many of our citizens, asking for information in regard to the practical effect of the law in North Carolina, and the following answer was received by him.. It will be remem? bered that the law originally applied to one township, and it will be seen that its practi? cal benefits ore to be extended to the entire county: Charlotte, N. C, March 5th, 1877. Dear Sir : Mr. Chalmers having been away from home for a few days, and being considerably worried, requested me to reply for him to your letter, which was received last Saturday. I will preface my reply by stating that the benefits accruing from the "stock law" are so many and so great that it is very hard to state all. 1. From the scarcity of rail timber, Mr. C. thinks that it has added at least one hun? dred per cent, to the former value of our lands. 2. That the forms can be cultivated with fewer hands and thus at a less cost, for during the winter months, instead of fenc? ing as formerly, we can be preparing our land for planting. S. That vegetation, which was before kept eaten down by cattle running at large, is now permitted to decompose on the land, thus enriching it every year. 4. That the expense per capita to keep up the neighborhood, district or county fences, is not near so great as to keep up plantation fences, and the laws being stringent we are not bothered as before with mischievous stock. 5. That farmers generally reduce the num? ber of their stock, and hence have a better qua'.ty. Of course, we have to provide food for them, but being confined in pas? tures they run less, and takes less to feed them, so we consider the expense no greater. We are never bothered hunting strayed cat? tle or hogs, which you know is very com? mon under the old system. The above are only a few of the benefits arising from the system, but we think enough to convince any unprejudiced mind that it is by for preferable to the ohl plan. Had we ten acres of forest land to one in cultivation, we would be unwilling to re? turn to the old system. In fact, I don't think there is one who has tried the new, would be willing under any circumstances to return to the old plan. The system is rap* idlj extending, and recently by an act of our Legislature, the whole of our county (Mecklenburg) is allowed the benefit of the law. Tome truly,,. ? M. McALIBTER. P. S.?I forget to siate a very important item, namely, that we can cultivate any rich piece of land too small or inconvenient to fence, and you am about make your bread on the fence rowi:. HOHEA PATH LOCALS. J. M. Dun Jap's corn crib was broken into on the night of the HUh inst. and several bushels of corn taken. Trial Justice Wright is looking into the matter.Dr. Parker has nearly completed his new house, which is a decided improvement in that quarter of the town. Theie is room enough for a few more new buildings; lumber is cheap and the town is healthy, so let those in search of a home come to Honea Path......Medicines have taken a rise. Dr. Hudgens has moved his drug store iip-stairx, where everything looks neat.Rev. Mr. Cartee preached in the Baptist Church on last Sabbath morn? ing and Rev. Wm. P. Pearson in the Pres? byterian Church in the afternoon to atten? tive congregations. HOPEWELL LOCALS. We have found one man in Hopewell who is not going to plant a lull of cotton. The reason assigned is, that he owes no body, and why he owes nothing is because he nev? er planted much cotton. He always paid ninety cents cash in the spring for his plow with which to cultivate his crop rather than promise one and a half dollars, payable in the fall, for the same article. This explains itself..Wheat is below on average. J. D. Rogers advises farmers not to plow up their fall oats, however bad the prospects may be now, adding that they will branch off from the scattering stalks and make a fair yield. .Upland corn is being planted.The rain of the 8th inst., broke Tucker's mill dam, from which emerged a sack containing the skin and head of W. E. Duckworth's fat hog, which mysteriously disappeared five weeks since. "Murder will out"......Hope well is proud of her temperance organiza? tions. She has a large aad flourishing Di? vision in the centre, and is largely represen? ted in two others on and near the township lines. Hopewell Division has under consid? eration resolutions looking to the prohibition of illicit whiskey wagons from entering her territory. HOMO. LEBANON Lt-'ALS. ? ? Lebanon Church (Bap:nt) jg located ten miles north of Anderson C. H. i h a good neighborhood. It is supplied by Rev. E. R.

Harper, Superintendent; Marshall, Smith, Vice Su? perintendent ; D. Dunwoody, Secretary. The Superintendent picked a committee of four' men and five ladies to get up classes, which they did with care and judgment, proving satisfactorily to all, and the classes elected their teachers.We have a good school near by under the charge of Mrs. Anna Derricott, who is a good teacher and respec? ted by all.We have a Orange in working order, which meets on the second Saturday of each month at 9 o'clock. Also, a Tem? perance Division, meeting on the some day at two o'clock.Two miles south in Jeptha Harper's house, near Chester Walker's, a debating society meets every Saturday night The hext subject for discussion, "Shall edu? cation be compulsory, or shall it be optional with the child?" Will the Sandy Springs boys join us in the debate?.The farmers, in this section are about through breaking up their lands, and are now putting in fer? tilizers, bedding for cotton. It is hoped they will not forget the horses, hogs and cows, and plant corn plentifully, and not say so much about Green Tille.We have a quiet time. White and colored are working well, in peace with each other, and all are satisfied with Hampt?n for Governor. FOBS mxB. Com planting is begun.Anderson boys continue to hanker after the Townville girls. .And now the howl for a mess of shad is raised......Farmers are putting their cot? ton lands in a fine state of preparation. The weather.was very n:Ud the.past .week, and ths growing wheat i?. greatly benefit ted thereby.Last year To ? nville Grange of? fered its members a preu. im of ten dollars for the best acre of corn, but the great freshet ruined theg>rospect It is hoped the offer will he renewed this season .....Married oh the 14th inflt, by W. F. M. Fint, Esq.f Mr. Elias Dyer, of Hart ccanty, Ga., to Miss Mattio Stewart, of this county.Because his inamorata, refusing to further recognize his wooing, constituted herself a returning board and counted him out, a Townville youth stealthily withdrew from the scenes of his childhood in the silent watches of the night a?d has gone "where the woodbine twineth," in all the wretchedness'of unre? quited love. It is now thought that his rival will be duly installed......Nazareth (Presbyterian) Church is becoming unfit for use, and the congregation is agitating the practicability of erecting a new building at Townville, three or four miles distant. This would greatly inure to the benefit of all concerned, and it is hoped the plan will be speedily executed......Last Wednesday, 14th, Daniel Thacker, living near Townville, was violently thrown from a mule, which took fright at a pile of guano twigs in a fence cor? ner. Besides other injuries, several of his ribs were broken by the iunle running over him before he could regain his feet. His injuries were rather critical, but he is now slowly improving. BRUSHY CREEK TTE3CB. Messes. Editors : In response to your call for locals, I wiU give you what we have in the section of the. mouth of Brushy Creek, and on either side to its source or head as far as we?re able, to see, hear or guess at, but we must say - ? are in a quan? dary to know of what to speak first.... ..The farmers generally are hard at work' taming the soil, cleaning, clearing and draining.for large crops of com, cotton, peas, potatoes, Ac., which is all very well; hut cotton seems to predominate, which is all wrong. .A gool deal of fertilize ? i are being used, but not as extensively as last year.A good crop of wheat was prepared for in the fall, but the prospect now is for sorry crops. .We believe the largest acreage of oats was sown last fall we ever knew, all of which is a failure.We have some two or three schools in our midst, but not enough to accommodate one-half the children. Churches we have in abundance, and good preaching, but immorality seems to be on the Increase.The sable sons of Africa, led by some of Chamberlain's crew, have become addicted to cow stealing, and ever and anon a sheep is killed by "dorgs," and hollow stumps bear fruit like unto hog skins.Hens fail to "set" because tbey are obliged to "lie" dead. All of which may be traced to Chamberlain, or to the influ? ence of bis teachings.Ws have two steam saw mills in operation?one owned | by Messrs. Johnson & Gambrell doing a "dri ving" business; the other by Mr. Ellison. Also, good grist and flouring mills, owned by the Messrs. Holcombe, Johnson & Co., to which is attached in full blast a distille? ry, run by that veteran, J. H. Barrett. By the way, Mr. Editor, the people up here are in a muddle over the office of Trial Justice. You advertise for the Democratic Clubs of Williamston, Slabtowu and Brushy Creek to meet at John C. Smith's on the 28th, to suggest a Trial Justice. Since that appeared, we have seen a petition (now in our possession) recommending Edwin I. Pins?n to Governor Hampton. Now, this is all wrong. We think that if he cannot afford to go before the people on his merits, ho should not go at all. Our neighbors are not giving us fair play around Williamston, and we insist that the - Clubs shall have a say-so. Will our friend, "Locum Stagilli," give us light on the subject in his next "local.".The wind is driving dirt in our eyes, and we will now look out for some? thing better than Electoral Commissions or Retmrning Boards, and ask you, Messrs. Editors, to do good for yourself until you hear again from NIX CUM AROUSE. LONG'S SHOP LOCALS. As it is news that you wish your local correspondents to give, we have very little to communicate; and hence, unless you can accept a kind of medley, we cannot at this time write anything.The cry of hard times, occasioned by the scarcity of money ?if it can be termed news?is the most prominent. This salutes the ear pn every side.This neighborhood, taking the area of a circumference of three or four miles, is emphatically a. farming community, not a single resident professional man, neither lawyer, doctor,-preacher or teacher, all are following the plow. But it is not to be in fered from this that we are a set of semi barbarians and invalids; for the morals,- in? telligence and health of the people will com? pare very favorably with any other portion ?of the County of th'o same size. We have said that all are farmers, yet it must be con? fessed that a large majority may be classed in the category of "small fry," yet they raise remunerative crops according to the capital invested, being the humble recipients of the request couched in Agur's prayer, "GiveuB neither ^poverty nor riches."......Every one is very busy at present, preparing his land and -hauling guano in order to make another "big" crop of the fleecy staple, so as to en? courage, strengthen and perpetuate the usurped claims of the modern upstart, "King Cotton" over the legitimate and an? cient Queen Ceres......The freedmen of this section-'all have- homes, and are laboring well;.and what we regard as a very good1 and encouraging omen, we perceive from your journal that not a .few of them "have paid the Hampton contribution. More anon. ? - ???_W. H. EDITOR'S TABLE. Eclectic Magazine.?The April number presents an admirably engraved portrait of William Black, the popular novelist, and in the letter-press the editor gives a brief but appreciative sketch of his life. The literary contents of the number are partly as fol? lows : "Geographical and Scientific Results of the English Arctic Expedition ;" "ANew Work on Russia," being a review and syn? opsis of Mr. Wallace's excellent book; a fascinating biographical sketch of "Edmund Kean; "Great Storms;" "Receent Music and Musicians," with special reference to Mendelssohn; "The poet in the City;" "In? side the House' of. Commons;" "Other Worlds and Other Universes," by Ric&ard. A.' Proctor; "Wits and Witticisms," and "The Jews in Europe." In addition to all these good things, there are three chapters of Mrs. Oliphant's interesting story of "Young Musgrave," and copious editorial notes on home and foreign literature, science and art. Published by E. R. Pel ton, 25 Bond Street, New York. Terms,. $5 per year; Single number, 45 cents/ Habfeb's Magazine for April comes to its host of readers richly laden with even more than its accustomed variety of instructive and entertaining matter, The leading arti? cle, by Harriet Prescott Spofford, is an elo? quent history of Renaissance Decoration, as applied to furniture, illustrated with twen? ty-one superb engravings. -Dr, A. L. Gihon concludes his beautifully illustrated paper on the Atlantic Islands?treating this month the Canaries and Cape Verds, mingling with his entertaining information observations that are of the utmost importance to inva? lids. Mary Treat contributes one of her chapters of gossip about birds, in another illustrated article. Dr. John W. Draper continues his very interesting description of remarkable experiments made by him?this time in connection with flame and the com? bustion of substances. The experiments are fully illustrated.. In fiction this number is one of marked interest. Besides the two beit serial novels of the season, "A Woman Hater" and "Erema,"'there are four excel? lent short stories. Henry W. Longfellow contributes a poem, -entitled "Yittoria Colona." Elizabeth Stuart Phelps is the author of another poem, entitled "A Song of the Garden." Anna C. Brackett, in a brief but vigorous article, makes a strong plea for the Liberal Education of Women; and Ed? ward Howland, in an able paper, traces the development in our Public Libraries. The editorial depart tue- s are full of interesting matter on new themes, hew books, new facts in science, the current events of the month, and timely humors. The Drawer is especially amusing, and contains seven illus? trations. The Galaxy opens its April number with a clever article by Henry James; jr., on the French drama and the most noted actors of Paris, -whose impersonations are brought to such perfection as is not found oh any other stage. Mr. Charles Wyllys Elliott contri? butes an article upon the hard times and cheap labor question, which he deals with in a manner somewhat sarcastical and not altogether comforting. "On Being Born Away from Home" is the somewhat un? promising title of a curious article by Dr. Titus Munson Coan, in which he calls atten? tion to the frequent instances of the migra? tory instinct one finds in looking over the list of the gifted minds noted in history. Among the famous men who have deserted their native country to develop and gain distinction in another, he mentions Heine, Copley, West, Stuart,. Count Rumford, Winckelmann, Alexander, Hamilton, By? ron, Thackeray, and others who have won laurels as poets, artists, authors, philoso? phers, or statesmen. Mr. J. L. M. Curry contributes a thoughtful article upon the needs and prospects of the unhappy South from the point of view of a loyal and earnest Southern citizen. The value of such an article cannot be overlooked. There are capital short stories by Louise Stockton and Constance Fenimore Woolson, and some poems of merit by F. W. Bourdillon, Syl? vester Baxter, Margaret J. Preston, "the poet laureate of the South," after which come the usual departments of science, lit? erature, and current gossip. HYMENEAL. MAARIED, at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. Lucinda Chnmblce, on Sunday, 18th inst., by Rev. M. McGce, Mr. R. A. 8ULLIVAN, and Miss MARY FRANCIS CHAMBLEE. All of Anderson County.
