THE INETLLXGENCE& ? ? -?? ? LOCAL MATTERS* ST7DDEH DEATH. The community of Central was greatly shocked on last Saturday night about 11 o'clock in consequence of Mr. Joseph C. Eaton, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of the town, being found dead upon the street. Mr. Eaton had an attack heart disease some two weeks previous his death, but had recovered sufficiently attend to his business, and on the night his death eat a hearty supper, and at nine o'clock went to sleep in the house of a friend whose family was away from home. About 11 o'clock a son of Mr. Eaton and Mr. C. Cumming8 discovered his body lying within a few feet of his door, dead, but still warm with the fire of life which had just departed It is supposed that after he retired, Mr. Eaton had another attack of heart disease and attempted to reach his house but fell " the steps of his store. He was in his seven iy-fifth year. An inquest was held over the body by Coroner B. B. Earle, and a verdict ' rendered in accordance with the above facts ? Mr. Eaton has many relatives and friends who mourn his death, and he will be greatly missed by the community in which he lived. BECE1VJLSIG TEE HEWS. At twelve o'clock, noon, on Tuesday last the booming of cannon, the ringing of bells and the discoursing of martial strains by the Cornet Band, greeted the ears of our citizens, and the country around Anderson as the symbols of joy, expressing the feeling of our community at the liberation of our State from, an unwarranted tyranny and usurpation .f inite a large number of per? sons had-assembled in town, and the news of the withdrawal of the troops from the State House Was received with a quiet satis? faction that can be better imagined than de? scribed. The old "Reformer" was in action under the direction of .Messrs. J. Fink. Reed and R. L. Moorhead, and discharged thir? teen rousing shots in honor of the thirteen original Sovereign States, one of whom was being once more restored to 'the freedom which she was so instrumental in securing for herself and her sister States about one hundred years ago. The people of upper Carolina are familiar with this old piece of . ordnance, in consequence of its distinguished services in the cause of liberty during the late canvass,. and may be a matter of inter . eat to announce that, having proclaimed the victory of freedom in South Carolina, it has been securely placed to rest, where it will remain until that victory is in peril two years from now, at which time its services will be again called into requisition. The COurt House, school, church and work-shop, bells, under control of both white, and colored organizations, rang out the proclamation of Carolina's restoration and the.;Anderson Band from the Court House Steps furnished thrilling music to the ears of those w ho were already thrilled by the annQuncement^.ojT the .expected news. Messrs. E.M. Bucker and James A. Hoyt were Called for and addressed the crowd from the Court House steps, after which they 'gathered around ihe door of the Intklli gsxcsb office and called for Messrs. J. S. Murray, John B. Moore, R. S. Hill, G. F. Tolly and E. B. Murray, who responded in congratulatory addresses. Frequent bursts of applause rent the air from the beginning of the jubilee to its close, and we have never seen greater satisfaction manifested than on last Tuesday. It was a befitting close to a long canvass and a long suspense after the election, which will be remembered for years to come in this country. THE HAMPTON TAX. The books of the Special Agent for Ander? son County, who was appointed to collect the ten per cent, on last year's taxes by Gov? ernor Hampton, were .-closed on Thursday last, 5th of April, in accordance with the instructions received from Comptroller Gen? eral Hagopd. Thesebooks were opened on the 13th day of January, and were kept open three months lacking one week. As it was a voluntary contribution, it was not expected that the full ten per cent, would be collected, but'the :tax-payers who were able and wil? ling to make this contribution in support of the Hampton administration, when doubts and uncertainties existed in the minds of many persons as to its ultimate success, may be congratulated upon their fidelity and patriotism in this work, for it has been an important factor in securing the result now happily achieved. In fact, the negligence or refusal on the part of the tax-payers to re? spond with cheerfulness and alacrity to the call of Go v. Hampton would have imperilled his administration, and in all probability resulted disastrously to the cause of good government in South Carolina. Hence, the value and importance of their patriotic con? duct cannot be accurately measured, and every name pu this "roll of honor" is en? titled to the highest' meed of praise for the timely assistance'rendered to the Hampton government. In Anderson County, the ten per cent, on last year's taxes-ought to have realized about $8,000. The total amount collected by the. SpfeciaT Agent hasf been $4,957.05. There-' fore, nearly five-eighths of the whole amount has been collected. The total num? ber of persons who paid taxes in 1876 was about 5,600. The number who have paid the Hampton tax is 2,140?of tbis number 225 are white females, and 175 are colored men. About forty feststes are also among the number paid, which leaves 1,700; white voters who responded to the call, or one half the number voting for Gov. Hampton in November last. Of the remainder a large number were doubtless unable to pay even the ten per cent, owing to the scarcity of money and the'tightness of the times. Bnt the large majority of delinquents, it is safe to presume, can be classed among those "who knew thoir duty and did it not," although pecuniarily able to make the con tribation. We Will not employ any words of censure upon their conduct, only to re? peat that it would never have done for Gov? ernor Hampton to place his dependence upon their patriotism and self-sacrificing spirit, and while reaping the fruits of a -vic? tory largely secured by their neighbors, they can resolve to act more nobly in the future, when the exigencies of their State may de? mand. THE STONE FORCE PUMP. The advertisement of Mr. Alonzo L. Welch, general agent for the Double Acting 8tone Force Pump, appears in another col? umn. The merits and advantages of this excellent pump have been explained in these columns heretofore, and we take occasion, after using one of them for more than a year, to add our testimony to its worth as a great convenience and desirable appendage to the comforts of domestic life. Our pump has been in steady use since March, 1876, and In every respect' Is as perfect and sub? stantial as the day it was placed in the well. It has never been out of order for a single moment, and in all respects works admira? bly, without the slightest deviation from the perfect manner in which it performed at the beginning. The water remains pure, clear and fresh, and we are entirely satisfied with the pump in this regard. Persons who desire an easily worked and substantial pump will do well to give Mr. Welch a trial. He is the agent for Anderson and adjoining counties in South Carolina, and also for Hart, Elbert, Wilkes and Oglethorpe coun? ties in Georgia, and will promptly answer all communications addressed to him at this place. I NEWBERRY WINS TEE PRIZE. A special session of the Evangelical eran Synod of South Carolina was held the town of Newberry last week, for purpose of considering the proposi" made by the various towns and cities the permanent location of Newberry College The session was opened on Tuesday morn ing by the President, Rev. E. A. Bolles, accordance with the prescribed forms usages. Rev. J. Hawkins, chairman of committee appointed to receive bids, repor ted the following: Columbia offered the property of Schuetzen Verein, valued at $8,000. Lexington C. H., a subscription of $5, in cash and 130,000 feet of lumber. Prosperity, (Frog Level,) a subscript' of $15,000 and the choice of several lots. Walhalla, bonds to the amount of $6, from responsible citizens, a subscription $3,000 from the Town Council, (under cer tain conditions,) and buildings valued $4,000, making a total bid of $13,500, with the proviso that the endowment fund reach $25,000. Newberry, a subscription of $15,870, to gether with the old college site, and material valued at 2,500, making a total of $18,370. Anderson, the property occupied by the Carolina Collegiate Institute, costing origi? nally $20,000, and now valued at 10,000 under the restrictions named in the resblu tions adopted by the Anderson Educational Association, heretofore printed in these col umns. Each of the towns named, except Ander? son, was represented by delegates to the Synod, and the claims and advantages of the various localities were ably advocated by their representatives. On Wednesday morning, the Synod proceeded to determine the future location of Newberry College and upon the second ballot, by a unanimous rising vote, the town of Newberry was se? lected as the most favorable locality and offering the greatest inducements. Al? though disappointed at the result, as a mat? ter of course, we congratulate our friends in Newberry that the institution bearing its name will return to promote the prosperity of that community. COTTON MAinTFACT?BINCh Ata meeting of Anderson Pomona Q ran go Patrons of Husbandry, held on the 7th inst. the Worthy Lecturer thought proper to in troduce some remarks in reference to the in troduction of cotton factories in Anderson County, with the application of the Clem ent Attachment, referring, among other ar? guments, to the actual operation of such an one by Col. Harrison at Andersonville in this County. Whereupon the following resolutions were adopted: j Resolved, That this enterprise is peculiarly adapted to the cooperative efforts of the Grange, and we hereby invite the earnest attention of subordinate Granges to a careful and intelligent investigation of the same, with a view to co-operative investment. Resolved, That Col. Harrison, of Ander? sonville, S. C, be invited to address this Grange on the subject of manufacturing cotton through the agency of the Clement Attachment at its next meeting, on the 1st of July, at this-place. *?* A true extract from the minutes. J. W. NORRIS, Secretary. BRIEF MENTION. We have Trial Justice's blanks for sale at the Intelligencer office at Charleston prices. Miss Delia Keys has just received a fresh assortment of summer goods, and the ladies are invited to give them an inspection. Mr. E. M. Holland brought us on last Tuesday a bunch of wheat from his farm which measured thirty-two inches in length. It was a very fine sample, and if his general crop any way approximates it the yield will be immense. A severe wind and thunder storm passed over Anderson on last Sabbath morning. A tree in Gen. J. W. Harrison's yard was shivered by lightning, and one on Mr. S. H. Langton's vacant lot, near his residence, was blown down. Pomona Grange held a long and interest? ing meeting on last Saturday in Temperance Hall. The officers elected in January, a list of whom has heretofore been published, were duly intalled at this meeting by Past Worthy Master R. W. Simpson. A heavy blow on last Saturday night blew down a frame building upon the premises of Mr. S. C. Humphreys, in Rock Mills Township. There was a threshing machine in the building, but fortunately it fell in such a manner as to leave the machine un? injured. Messrs. Leak <fc Moss announce elsewhere that they have opened a tobacco store in the room formerly occupied by Lewis <fc Co., in the Benson House. Mr. Leak is an experi? enced dealer, in tobacco, and his patrons may rely upon obtaining a good article of the weed at the new store, either for chewing or smoking. Attorneys can be supplied with summons, judgments, executions and other law blanks at Charleston prices at the Intelligences office. These and other blanks will be kept on hand at this office, and we espectfully solicit orders, as we are confident parties using our blanks will find them equal to any that can be gotten. The ball at the Wayerly House on last Friday evening was quite a success, and numbered among its attendants ladies and gentlemen from Pendleton, Belton and Honea Path. The young and the gay spent a delightful evening at the entertainment, which was given under the auspices of the Anderson Ball Club. We are glad to learn that the Greenville end Columbia Railroad Company have at last brought lumber to this place to re-build the bridge over the railroad cut on McDuffle street. This is a work which has been need? ed for a long time, and our people will no doubt appreciate the re-opening of the upper end of this street. We hope the work will be commenced at once and speedily finished. We would respectfully inform the mer? chants and business men of this and sur? rounding counties that we are now prepared to do job work neatly and at prices as low as the same class of work can be done any? where in the State. Bill heads, statements, letter and note heads, printed envelopes, circulars, hand bills, labels, cards, &c, promptly furnished and satisfaction guaran? teed. Wc will be pleased to receive orders from our friends. The Greenville Nervs of the 9th inst., says: "Messrs. J. H. Morgan & Co., whose store was burned by the recent fire, have re-opened again at Mr. A. A. Foster's old stand on Main street. Messrs. Morgan are pushing and industrious men, and though their losses by fire was heavy, their energies have not relaxed, and their business will go steadily onward." See their advertisement in an? other column. We bespeak for them a lib? eral portion of the trade which goes to Green? ville from this County. The cow law has been repealed in Ander? son, and the result is that of an ordinary day from one to two dozen bovines may be 3een upon our streets rifling the wagons, Ac, of persons who come to this place to trade. The further result is that an ordi? nance should immediately be passed for the purpose of keeping the square and side walks in order. The nuisance of cows running at large is prevented in most towns of impor? tance in South Carolina, but Anderson is not equal to the task at this time. SOUND LOGIC. The following conversation occurred on the Public Square a few days ago, and the idea suggested certainly places our Governor in a light in which we had never before viewed him; but the conclusions of each of the parties are logical, and for one we are not willing to attempt a refutation of them, whatever others may think: Yankee?This iR a great country of ours, and has certainly produced as great men as the world ever saw. Southerner?Yes, I agree with you, friend; and I think, too, that the South deserves the credit for the production of the greatest of these men. Old Darkey?Yes, young boss, you is right, and Mass Wade Hampton is de greatest man what de Sout has eber had. G07. HAMPTON'S MARCH. We receive from Ludden & Bates' South? ern Music House, Savannah, Ga., a fine March by the popular composer, E. Mack, which is named in honor of Carolina's noble son, Gov. Wade Hampton, and without doubt will have an extended sale through? out the South. The publishers have given it an elegantly designed title page, with a life-like lithograph, which the Governor's countless admirers will be delighted to ob? tain. Prof. Weigand, leader of the famous Post Band at Charleston, has arranged this March for Brass Bands, and it will soon be played generally by the bands of the 8outh. Copies for piano will be for sale at all Music Stores. Price 40 cents. SONS OF TEMPERANCE. At a meeting of Lebanon Division, on last Saturday, the following officers were installed by J. M.

The down passenger train was thrown off the track by a broken axle of a stock car on Tuesday last, just below Honea Path, and within a few feet of the run off reported last week. The stock, mail and express cars were badly damaged. The expresss messen? ger, Mr. Stelling, was slightly bruised by jumping from his car and being caught in the trucks, making a very narrow escape. The train was delayed several hours.Mrs. C. M. Kay departed this life very suddenly on the evening of the 5th inst.Mr. Wm. R. Greer, a resident of this place, died in Columbia on Saturday, and was buried at Greenville Church on Tuesday last. The community sympathize with these afflicted families.The continued rains have kept the farmers from work for nearly ten days. .Fires and over-coats are still in demand, and from present appearances the stacks of wood will be exhausted before warm weather. .The "grape vine" has just brought us news that Chamberlain will give up.

A very large concourse of persons was present at the funeral services, which cir? cumstance attested the respect and esteem in which the deceased was held. Mrs. Cole, who was a daughter of the late James R. Fant, united with the Baptist Church in her girlhood, and ever afterward sustained an unsullied Christian character. With her the struggle of life was a bitter trial indeed, and full of sorrow, but she bore up to the end with true Christian fortitude, and death was swallowed up in victory. BANDY SPSING8. We have for the past ten or twelve years utterly failed to have any other than schools whose scholastic years have been one, two and sometimes three months each. At a meeting of the citizens a few days ago, we came to the pleasing conclusion to build up and sustain a permanent school at Sandy Springs. The previous schools have, from year to year, exhausted the public treasury of our township, and nothing whatever has been accomplished towards educating our children. Therefore, we think it expedient to build up a permanent school at home, and advocate home schools as well as home rule. If we succeed-, hi this inestimable and praiseworthy work, we will have made our neighborhood as attractive and as valuable I as any portion of the up-country." Why ? Becau e we have good and reliable men, productive soil, pure water, invigorating j climate, and even gold mines are supposed to be but a short distance beneath the sur? face of the earth, as a piece of considerable size was found upon the surface a few days ago by Mr. Brown, while leisurely walking over his farm. More than this, we have a large and commodious Grange Hall, which is monthly filled with active workors; a church whose walls resound with wisdom and eloquence of Rev. Attaway. The Blue Ridge Railroad is only a few step from our school room. What more do we desire ? A good school, and then we will be a happy people.Our farmers are sitting up playing gentlemen, as there is too much water in the earth to plough.Messrs. Reid and Gar? rison visited the flourishing "Mountain City" the other day. They speak in glow? ing terms of its growth and prosperity. mam Thousands -? f Affidavits. Many having used "patent" and prepared medicines and failed in finding the relief promised, are thereby prejudiced against all medicines. Is this right ? Would you con? demn all physicians because one failed in giving the relief pre iL* si ? Some go to California in search of gold, and after work? ing hard for months ?.nd finding none, re? turn home and say there is no gold there. Does that prove it? Many suffering with Catarrh and pulmonary affections have used the worthless preparations that crowd the market, and in their disappointment say there is no cure for Catarrh. Does that prove it ? Does it not rather prove that they nave failed to employ the proper remedy ? There are thousands of people in the United States who can make An affidavit that Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery have effected their entire cure. Many had lost all sense of smell for months, an-.' pieces of bone had repeatedly been removed from the nasal cavities. THE SOUTH CAROLINA PRESBYTERY. The Presbytery of South Carolina con vened at Greenwood, in Abbeville County, on Wednesday afternoon, 4th inst., at 31 o'clock. The opening sermon was preached by Rev. W. C. Smith, of Pendleton, retiring Moderator. Presbytery constituted with prayer. Rev. A. L. Miller was chosen Moderator, and ; Carver Randall Assistant Clerk. A call was sent up from Walhalla and Richland churches for the pastoral services of the Rev. W. L. Morris. With a view to his ordination and installation, Presbytery in? stituted the usual examination of the candi? date in reference to his literary course, ex? perimental religion, Church history, &c. The examination was unanimously sus? tained, and arrangements made for his in? stallation at an early date. A call from the church of Good Hope for half the pastoral labors of the Rev. T. C. Ligon, was also pre? sented, accepted, and arrangements made for his installation. The narratives sent up from the different churches of the Presbytery in reference to the state of religion in their boundary showed a general state of declension in piety, and smaller contributions for church enterprises than usual. The former unhappy condition of the country, politically and financially, is assigned as one of the causes. A special day of prayer was set apart by the Presbytery for a general outpouring of the Spirit upon all our churches. The first Sabbath in'July is the day. Rev. J. B. Adgerand Rev. A. P. Nicholson were appointed principals, ministers, com? missioners to the General Assembly, at New Orleans, and Revs. R. A. Fair and R. H. Reid alternates, and A. B. Towers and D. W. Wright elders, principals, and J. J. Norton and D. W. Aiken alternates. The next session of the Presbytery will be held with Washington Street Church, Greenville, on Wednesday before the fifth Sunday in September next, at 8 o'clock p. m. The subject of Domestic Missions was the absorbing topic of discussion at this meet? ing, and the results, it is hoped, will be fruit? ful of good. In connection with this subject a committee was appointed to visit Edgefield C: H. for the purpose of organizing a Pres? byterian Church there, if the way be clear. The Pickens mission, under the care of Rev. Hugh McLees, was found to be in an en? couraging condition. The mission field in the bounds of Spartanburg County is an important one, and it is hoped that speedy arrangements will be made for their supply. Rev. John G. Law was elected Evangelist for this Presbytery for the next six months. It is earnestly desired that he will accept the position, and enter at once upon the dis? charge of the arduous and responsible du? ties of the office. There are not only weak and vacant churches famishing for the bread of eternal life, but there is a large and in? teresting part of our population?the colored people?who are in the utmost spiritual des? titution, and the scriptural cry is ringing in our ears, from every quarter, "Come over, and help us." Hitherto our access to this class of our population, religiously, has been obstructed by influences beyond our control, but Providence seems to be slowly, but surely, removing those hindrances, and it is to be hoped that our Presbytery will prompt? ly avail themselves of the opportunity. If time had been afforded, after the election of the Evangelist, the subject would have been brought prominently before the Presbytery, but it is hoped that this oversight will not deter any, ministers or elders, from discharg ing their duty in this respect as opportuni? ty offers, during the interim between the spring and fall meetings of Presbytery. t The Rev. John McLees, who for thirty years has been serving this Church as pastor, is now, and has been for some time, in very feeble health. While he is physically weak and feeble, his spiritual growth seems to be rapidly maturing for heaven. The hospitality of the people of Green? wood was elegant and' unbounded. It was the pleasure of your correspondent to be assigned to Gen. Gillam, for forty years as? sociated with this Presbytery as a ruling ' [ elder. He is in his 86th year, and although physically frail and feeble, yet his mental vigor is surprisingly good. He has attended two General AssemMies, and was ever ready during the prime of life to serve the Church in any capacity required. And to this day, ripening daily for the tomb, as he evidently is, every aspiration of his Christian heart is for the prosperity of Zion. The only son living, Mr. R. C. Gillam, late of Pickens, has removed with his family to his father's home as a filial prop for his declining years. T. H. R. The following-are the officers of Harper Grange, elected to serve the ensuing term: Wm. Harper, W. M.; W. Burns, 0.; J. Harper, L.; D. P. Bowen, S.; A. J. Wel born, A.; D. M. Stott, jr., T.; L. H.

It is generally supposed by a certain class of citizens, who arc not practical or expe? rienced, that Dyspepsia can not invariably be cured, but we are pleased to say that Gbeen's August Floweb has never, to our knowledge, failed to cure Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint in all its forms, such as Sour Stomach, Costiveness, Sick Headache, Silpitation of the Heart, low spirits, &c., &c. ut of 30,000 dozen bottles sold last year, not a single failure was reported, but thou? sands of complimentary' letters received from Druggists of wonderful cures.

Such is fur? nished by the DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP, Manufactured by J. C. Nichols & Bro., Atlanta, Ga., which brings the water pure and fresh from the bottom of the well. No slime or filth collects on the pump or in the well. No snails, worms or green moss gets about the water. It is free from rust or other impurities, and can be operated by a small child with ease, and brings the water fresher than any oth? er Pump. It is of stone, glazed inside and outside, and never will decay. It improves the water beyond a doubt by ventilating the well, and keeping it like a moving stream of water. With a hose attached, it becomes a good fire-engine, ever ready at your door to extinguish the flames in case of fire. It is better and cheaper than insurance. Its work? ing gives complete satisfaction, as those acquainted with it will testify. It is a home enterprise, permanently established, and relies on its own merits, upon which it asks your patronage. This Pump is represented in Anderson and adjoining' Counties, together with the Counties of Hart, Elbert, Wilkes and Oglethorpe in Georgia, ALOINTZO L. WELCH, Anderson, S. C.
