THE ffTETLLIGMCER. LOCAL. MATTERS. BRIEF MEBTIOH. A charter has been granted to the Grang? ers' Savings Rank.of Anderson. A compa? ny will probably organize and accept the charter at an early date. Messrs. B. Prank Sloan and J. W. Gray, representatives from Oconeo and Greenville Counties, visited their homes during the late recess of the House of Representatives. We would call the attention of our read? ers to the communication of Mr. B. F. Cray ton relative to the fence law act. This is a very important matter for our people, and we hope the suggestions made by Mr. Cray ton'will be promptly carried out.' Rev. Wm. Henry Strickland will preach in the Baptist Church next Sunday at ifcJO .a. m. Subject?"No justification by the deeds of law.". At night at 8:30, subject? ?"Death bed repentance." Baptism will be administered at 5 p. m. at the river?usual place. The hill-side known to -Anderson pedes? trians in wet weather as "Todd's pull" has been cut down, and when sanded will afford no further inconvenience to foot passengers in making the trip to and fro between the Northern portion of the-town and the square. We regret to learn that the kitchen-of Rev. B. Hays was consumed by fire on last Tuesday night. Nothing was saved from the burning building, and it was difficult to protect the dwelling from the flames. The cause of the fire is supposed to have been accidental. We were in error last week in stating that Capt. A. T. Broyles assisted in the defense of Mr. H.\ Lawrence Smith for assault and battery with intent to . kill. The.defimse was conducted by .Messrs.,Featherston & Brown only, and Capt. Broyles was not con? nected with the case. The Legislature has passed a bill to pre -vent the sale of spirituous liquors within three miles of Williamston Female College. The frolics of John Barleycorn have there? fore ended, it is to be hoped, so far as the classic shades of Williamstbn and its vicini? ty are concerned. Belton produced a mad dog which played havoc with the cariines of that quiet town on last Thursday night by biting a great many of'them. The dog was killed by Capt Ira C. Williams, and many of the bitten dogs were also killed, and others have been, put up to await results. Col. F. E. Harrison has been very suc? cessful in the manufacture of thread from seed cotton by his new machinery, and is now turning outa large quantity for market. The thread is of fine quality, and is popular with consumers. It may be found for sale in several of the stores in Anderson. We had avery pleasant call last week from our friend J. W. Bailey, editor of the Green? ville Enterprise and Mountaineer. He paid as usual, a very short visit to our town. We are always glad to greet bis paper among our exchanges,_and of course enjoy even more the presence of its genial editor. The hands have been doing valuable work on portions of Main street during the last week, but they will find their services great? ly needed on the side walk of the upper por? tion of the street in front of the residences of Messrs. C A. Reed and S. Bleckley. A little attention would put them in good order. Kev. J. K. Mendenhall, who has devoted himself for the past year to evangelical work, has been conducting a very interesting series of meetings in the Baptist Church at Wil liamston. Many conversions have been made, and it is believed much good will flow from these exercises to the community at large. Capt. John W. Daniels, Clerk of the Court for this County, has, under the order of Judge Cooke, prepared a list of the bonds on file in his office, given by fiduciaries... which are about to go out of date. Parties, interested in estates in which there are such bonds would do well to examine the Cap? tain's report, which, is on file as a matter|of reference in his office. John E. Allen, Esq., was admitted to the practice of law on last Thursday, after pass? ing a thorough and most highly creditable examination in open Court. Mr. Allen is a young gentleman of fine qualities of mind and heart. He possesses.numerous friends in this community, who will be gratified at the professional success he will no doubt deserve and attain. Information from the Storeville country renders it almost certain that the burning of Mr. Benjamin Strickland's house was not the work of an incendiary. Members uf his family were about the house a short time previous to the conflagration and left the house, which took fire from within, locked. Hence, it is pretty certain that it originated accidentally. Quite a number of dogs have been killed in Anderson for violating the town ordi? nance by coming upon the streets unmuz? zled. We wish all the worthless curs of the town and surrounding country could be in? duced tc visit our streets in defiance of the ordinance. Our slumbers would not then be disturbed by their howling, and flocks of sheep would not fall victims to their rapac? ity. James L. Orr, Esq., spent a portion of last week at home, resting after his arduous la? bors as Chairman of the Committee on Privileges and Elections. Messrs. Simpson, Brown and Vandiyer also availed them? selves of an adjournment of the House from Friday to Monday to pay short visits to their homes. All of these gentlemen are in fine health, and appear as if legislative la? bors agrees with.them. We respectfully invite the attention of our readers to the change in the advertise? ment of the New York Cash Store. The summer season is very dull, and money is scarce, in consequence of which Messrs. Arn? stein & Rose, who are determined to out do the times, are, offering their goods at the most reasonable prices. To be convinced of this it is only necessary to give them a call. We would respectfully ask the attention of our delinquent subscribers to the fact that wc must have a little money to run a news? paper on through the summer, and if each of our readers who knows that he is in? debted to us for subscription will send us one dollar on his account during this month, it will afford us the desired assistance. Do not leave this request to be complied with by your neighbors, but pay in your own dollar also, as newspapers live by an aggre? gation of small sums. Mr. S. D. Deal, the proprietor of the pop? ular Williamston Hotel, has improved and enlarged the building by adding seven new rooms, for the purpose of accommodating his increasing patronage. His house is now very commodious and comfortable in its construction, is kept in the neatest possible manner, and his table is supplied with the most excellent bill of fare that could be wished. In other words, Mr. Deal has a fine building, and is a model host. He is situated within a pleasant walk of the cele? brated Mineral Spring, and persons visiting the up-country in quest of health or pleas ure cannot make a more agreeable stop than with Mr. Deal at Williamston. The farmers are complaining somewhat of the dry weather, though it has enabled them to get their crops in excellent order. The corn and cotton are free from grass, and as soon as they can get rain will grow off rapidly. If we can have rain within the next week, very little damage will have been done by the drought, except the almost complete destruction- of gardens. The dry weather has been very favorable to wheat and small grain generally, and where there is a stand of these crops the yield will bo excellent. Col. Thomas J. Pickcns has received the appointment of County Auditor from Gov. Hampton for Anderson County. Col. Pickens is a gentleman of education and culture, whose experience in past years as Comptroller General of South Carolina eminently befit him for the work of the Auditor's office. He is a brother of Ex Goy. Pickens, and has been intimately con? nected with, public affairs in South Curolina for many years. The Colonel willnoWi as he has always done heretofore, make an efficient, faithful and acceptable officer. There is a great deal of sickness about Anderson at this time, caused, it is general? ly believed, by the unwholesome and extra? ordinary weather we have been having. These cases are not caused by anything of a local character, as they have manifested va? rious forms of attack, showing that it is only the -development of some physical weakness attaching to the constitution of ! individuals, and brought out by the remark? able and unseasonable weather. Key. W. H. Strickland, of this place, has been elected to deliver the annual literary address before the Philosophian and Adel phiah Societies of Furman University du? ring the commencement exercises of that institution of learning. The address will be delivered in the Court House at Green? ville on the evening of Tuesday, the 19th inst., and those present will no doubt enjoy a literary treat. These societies have made a good selection for their orator, and are fortunate in having secured the acceptance of Mr. Strickland. Mr. A. B. Towers returned on Thursday last from his visit to New Orleans to tttend the Southern General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Towers enjoyed his visit greatly, not only from the pleasure of the sessions of the Church Council, but from many pleasant incidents connected with his trip. While gone he visited with an excursion party the mouth of the Mis? sissippi river, and was much pleased with the work of deepening the bed of the river by means of the celebrated jetties, and he has the strongest faith in the feasibility and ultimate success of the plan adopted. We are indebted to Mr. G. W. Fant for a box of beautiful Souvenir Papeterie, sent us as a sample of one of the many elegant styles of letter, note and business paper kept by him at the Post Office Book Store. Mr. Fant makes - a specialty in business of school, literary and blank books, stationery, &c. Persons wishing anything in his line can be gratified at the most reasonable rates. Any book desired can be ordered through Mr. Fant and speedily obtained at publisher's price, where it is not already on hand. All correspondents should obtain a I box of his new letter and note paper. Governor Hampton has appointed Mr. ! Samuel E. Moore Treasurer for Anderson County. There were several other appli? cants for this office, any one of whom is competent and suitable for the position, and who would have been acceptable to the people of Anderson County if appointed Treasurer. Mr. Moore was Tax Collector under Gov. Orr's administration, and prob? ably before that time. He is therefore fa- * miliar with the duties of the office, and wili discharge them faithfully and satisfac? torily. . He was a brave soldier in the late war, and lost a leg in his country's service. He is a gentleman of character and integ? rity, whose appointment meets with the people's approbation. Mr. John C. Squier, general travelling -agent of the Columbia Register, is in Ander? son for the purpose of receiving new sub? scriptions and renewing those which have expired. The Register has always been a popular paper in Anderson, and this popu? larity has been very much increased by the recent change in that office, whereby Col. James A. Hoyt, formerly of the Intelli? gencer, has assumed editorial charge of the paper. Under the new management the Register has been very much improved. It contains a great deal more reading matter, and the editorial department is conducted with marked ability. The paper commends itself to, and will doubtless receive, a liberal patronage from our people. The bondholders of the Pendlcton Manu? facturing Company met at the Factory building on last Friday to consider what course they will pursue with legard to the valuable property they have purchased, and, after deliberating upon the subject, decided to repair the buildings and machinery so as to put it in first class running order. Work will be begun on it Immediately, and it is hoped to have it in full operation before a great while. The repairing will be done under the supervision of Messrs. T. L. Reid, A. J. Sitton and Thos. Dickson, which is a sufficient guarantee that the work will be thorough and complete. The further arrangements for operating the factory will be made in due time. The Presbyterian Church at this place has granted its beloved pastor, Rev. D. E. Fri ersou, a leave of absence for two weeks, which he will spendsin Alabama, where he has gone on a visit to relatives and friends. Mr. Frierson is very popular here for his many estimable virtues and his splendid mental acquirements, which render him a most agreeable speaker and pleasant com? panion. He is a diligent laborer in the dis? charge of his pastoral duties, and though his services will be missed for the next two Sabbaths in our midst, Mr. Frierson will no doubt find the rest and recreation of his visit not only pleasant but of benefit to bis health and physical energies. We wish him an agreeable sojourn. The Williainston Female College Com? mencement will come off on the 20th and 21st of this month, as will be seen by refer? ence to our advertising columns. These occasions are always of the most pleasant character imaginable, and they invariably attract a large attendance of the elite of the surrounding country, besides numerous vis? itors from a distance. The instruction im? parted at this institution is of a very thor? ough order, and the commencement exer? cises are such as to show off to good advan? tage the literary attainments of the gradu? ates. No doubt many persons are enjoying the anticipation of being present on the coming occasion, which cannot fail, under the management of Prof. Lander, to be a grand success. Among the many evils which are to flow to this country from the Russio-Turkish war. the greatest one we have heard predic? ted is that we are to suffer from long-con? tinued droughts during the progress of this war, for the prognosticators of this calamity say that the heavy cannonading along the Turkish frontier will nttractall the moisture to that region, leaving us to parch up over here; and they point, in proof of their cor? rectness, to the fact that while wc have been so dry there have been the most unprecc dented floods on the Danube. If these prophecies be true, we had better request the European belligerents to suspend opera? tions until our ciups arc laid by, or perhaps we can get up a war with Mexico, if neces? sary, to secure a sufficient amount of mois? ture for this continent. We had the pleasure of meeting Rev. James H. Thornwell, of Concord, N. C, in Anderson on last Friday. He had been to New Orleans in attendance upon the session of the Southern Presbyterian General As? sembly, and stopped in Anderson to Yisit his relatives and friends here for a couple of day3, as he was resuming home. He ex? pects leaving about the middle of this month for Edinburg, Scotland, whither he goes to attend a grand international General Assem? bly of his denomination, and also far the purpose of recruiting his health by a short rest from his ministerial labors. Mr. Thorn well is a gentleman of the highest culture and ability, who, though young, has attain? ed a prominent position in the. ministry of the Presbyterian Church. He has many friends here who enjoyed his Yisit to An? derson. THE TEMPEEA'.tfCE EXC?BSION. The Temperance Pic Nie Excursion to Williamston on last Saturday was a very great success. Throe coaches were filled with the excursionists from Anderson, and quite a number of persons were present who went from the surrounding country by pri? vate conveyance. The Mineral Spring, with its beautiful park, afforded a most pleasant location for enjoying a pic nie frolic, and all present, old and young, ladies and gentlemen, seemed to find pleasure in the occasion. In the morning, excellent addresses were delivered by Rev. S. Lander, Dr. H. I. Epting and Col. E. M. Rucker upon the subject of Temperance, after which a basket dinner was generally partaken of by all present. The Anderson Cornet Band attended, and made splendid music for the day, thereby, adding much to the pleasure of all who were precent. We learn that Anderson Division, under whose auspices the excursion train ran, realized enough from the sale of tickets to clear expenses, and therefore we can pronounce the affair, both socially and financially, a complete success. THE CIBCUIT COURT. The May Term of Court closed on last Thursday, and was principally noted for the rapidity with which Judge Reed dis? posed of the matters on the civil side of the Court, and as the day upon which those convicted of crimes and offences during the term were sentenced. Orr Lattimer, convicted of burglary, was granted a new trial. Jack Mance, con viei ?d of retailing with? out license, was sentenced to one month's imprisonment in jail, and twenty dollars fine, besides the cost of the prosecution. Colonel D. F. Maxwell, the colored lad who plead guilty to the charge of grand larceny, was sentenced to imprisonment in the Penitentiary for one year. H. Lawrence Smith, convicted of assault and battery with intent to kill, was sen? tenced to imprisonment in jail for one year, with the privilege of paying a fine of one hundred dollars, and [hereby remitting the last six months of his, imprisonment. Having transacted all the business ready for the Court at this term, Judge Reed closed the Court on Thursday evening, and on Friday morning left for Charleston, whither business called him. JUDGE BEES AT ABBEVILLE. The Press & Banner contains the following account of a complimentary serenade given Judge Reed during the iate term of the Ab? beville Court: The Abbeville Silver Cornet Band sere? naded Judge Reed at the Central Hotel Wednesday night. After playing several pieces of excellent music the Judge was loudly called for. He promptly responded in a short and beautiful speech in which he referred to "days of auld syne," when he was Solicitor of this Circuit. He never missed attending a Court at Abbeville from 1850 to 1868?eighteen years. In that time and during his visits he had formed a high opinion of the place, and a strong attach? ment for the people of Abbeville county, who have always been distinguished for then: intelligence, education, culture, high character and many virtues. They were once the richest people in the State, and he was lead to believe from the looks of this beautiful town that the sons of those who had passed off the stage of action possessed much of their fathers' public spirit and en? terprise. After paying a deserved tribute to the Judges of the old regime he said that he should take them for his guide, and would, to the extent of his humble ability, seek to emulate their virtues. He appreciated this mark of attention and kindness, which was given, he supposed, moi =; on account of the performance of his duties in former years, than for anything he had done at this ses? sion of the Court. After again assuring them of Iiis thanks he withdrew. OUB BOOK TABLE. The Westminster Review - for Ar-Rii..? Contents?"Popular Fallacies concerning the Functions of Government," "Courtship and Marriage in France," "Charles Kings ley," "Slavery in Africa," "Lord Macauley as an Historian," "The Fr.ctory and Work? shop Acts," "Russia," "Contemporary Lite? rature." The first article tries to throw some light on the answers to the questions, "Why would democracy at present be dan? gerous?" and "What is required to make it safe?" "Courtship and Marriage in-France" is an attempt to trace the development of a. typical French girl, her early education as preparatory to her future tstablishment, the sort of husband which sb 3 is likely to meet, the mode in which she will be wooed, and her probable destiny as a wife. A short no? tice of the life and letters of Charles Kings Icy is followed by a long article on African slaverj', describing the extent to. which tho slave trade is carried on there, and the re? sources that might be developed if the natives could be persuaded to help Euro? peans in making roads and cultivating the soil. The article on M.xcaulay is highly eulogistic, and filled with quotations from bis history. It replies at some length to Mr. Gladstone's strictures upon him. The essay on Russia speaks of the mode of life among the peasants, the emancipation of the serfs and its effects, the rapid growth of the country, and the present warlike aspect of affairs. The periodicals reprinted by the Leonard Scott Publishihg Co. (41 Barclay Street, N. Y.) arc as follows : The London Quarterly, Edinburgh, Westminster, and British Quarterly Reviews, and Blackwood's Magazine. Price, $4 a year for any one. or only $15 for all, and the postage is prepaid by the publishers. Eclectic Magazine.?The June number of the Eclectic completes' the twenty-fifth volume (new scries) of the work, and the index which it contains exhibits with a ful? ness which the contents of a single number cannot exhibit, the scope, and interest, and value of this sterling magazine. It is a list of upwards of ninety separate articles, not one of which is dull, or trivial, or common? place ; and of which not one.is of such tem? porary interest as to have yet lost its yalue for the reader. Besides these, there are rc-. views of about forty new books, numerous items of foreign literary news and gossip, a copious resume of current achievements in science and art, and many choice excerpts from new books and the foreign periodicals. The contents of the June number arc as fol? lows : "On the Habits of Ants," by Sir John Lubbock; "Lieut. Cameron's Journey Across Africa;" "The French Army in 1877;" "Charles Young, the Actor;" "Loved and Lost;" "The Radiometer and Its Lessons," by Dr. W. B.

Pelton, 25 Bond Street, New York. Terms, $5 per year; Single number, 45 cents. County Correspondence. TO THE FRIENDS OF THE FENCE LAW. Mr. Editor : Having seen the Act in re? lation to the change in the Fence Law, and as the time is short in which to get up the petitions to the County Commissioners for. submitting the question to the voters, be? tween the 10th and 20th of August, as re? quired, I would beg that some concert of action be had among the friends of the change, and that they get up petitions in each township at once, and that they be sent to the County Commissioners by the 19th inst., asking that it be voted on by the 20th of August. Otherwise, it cannot be voted on until the 10th of December, which would not give time for the law to go into effect on the 1st of January next, as re? quired. My reason for writing this card is, that I was known to have taken quite an interest in it when acted on before, and have been appealed to from all parts of the County to try and get it before the voters again, and wish to have a fair expression and vote on it. I hereto append a form of petition that may be used in each township : To the Commissioners of Anderson County? We, the undersigned tax-payers of township, respectfully request your honora? ble body, under the provisions of the recent act to amend the fence law of this State, to order an election in Anderson County, and every township therein, on Monday, the 20th of August next. Respectfully, , B. F. CRAYTON. FORE. Mr. G. N. C. Boleman has given a month's vacation in his school. Mr. W. A. Dickson will also resume teaching July 2nd.Mr. N. Wat. Grant had the misfortune a few days ago to lose a valuable milch cow. He had tied her near a ditch to graze, where she became entangled in the rope, fell in the ditch and was drowned.A long train of wagons passed through the Fork last week hauling corn from the Air Line Railroad to Hartwell, Ga.Trial Justice Fant had two busy days in his court last week. A great number of persons were sued by Dr. Page, who merchandized at Townvillc last year, and consternation reigned supreme among the delinquent debtors.The much re? ferred to pic nie at Townville is now a thing of the past. The elite of the community had a jolly time at Silver Lake adjacent to town, and supplemented the occasion by a dance at Dr. Brown's residence near by on the same evening.Shallow Ford Circuit comprising four churches, two on either side of Seneca River, has seemed a pasonage, having purchased a house and lot contain? ing fifteen acres for $100. The house was formerly occupied by the toll-keeper of Earle's bridge. This acquisition is very commendable to the Circuit, and no doubt will raise -t in the consideration of the Con? ference authorties. HOPEWELL. Hot dry weather continues.Farmers are putting on long faces. Some have quit work.Worms have greatly damaged bot? tom corn.Oats are almost an entire fail? ure.The wheat crop, as compared with last year, is considerably above an average. .C. B. White has probably the best cot? ton prospects.All second rate canines have come to an untimely end lest they should "go mad".The Sunday School enjoyed xl pleasant meeting on the afternoon of last Sunday. A lecture of no little in? terest was delivered by Rev. B. Hays, which was followed by the performance of several pieces of music, led by Mr. Gray and Miss Eskew. Several visitors favored the school with their presence and smiles.The morals of our section are excellent. There are no reports of theft or pelfering, notwith? standing the "hard times".The deport? ment of the colored population, to say the least, is praiseworthy.The Temperance Order have expressly stamped their veto upon the illicit whiskey traffic.The Church, by recent decisions made, declares even moderate drinking to be a crime worthy of her highest indignation and pun? ishment, that of positive excommunication. CENTREVILLE MILLS. Deep Creek Grange Hall is one mile from Ccntreville Mills, in the opposite direction from New Prospect Church. The Grange by that name holds its meetings monthly at this hall, and not at New Prospect Church, as would be inferred from last week's locals. The hall is also used for a school-house, church, and other public purposes. Rev. J. B. Adger, D. D., preaches twice a month to attentive congregations in it. The Sub bath school is certainly a live one, as it has been in successful operation during the whole winter, and the interest increases. The farmers are looking for rain with anx? iety. Their crops are clean and ready for it. .The damage done the wheat crop by the bail-storm one month ago was not so great as imagined.The farmers are about out of work until rain or harvest. Some of the more industrious have tied their plow lines together, and gone to measuring roads, fixing for internal improvements.More anon. X. "What everybody says must be true." The incontrovertible testimony offered by those who have used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription induced the doctor to sell it under a positive guarantee. Many ladies have refrained from using it on account of the general feeling of prejudice against ad? vertised medicines. Let me ask a question. Are you prejudiced against sewing ma? chines because you have seen them adver? tised ? or can you doubt the ingenuity and skill required in their invention ? Again, would you refuse to insure your house be? cause the company advertised that they had paid millions in losses, and yet had a capital of several millions? Do such advertise? ments shake your confidence, and create prejudices ? Then why refuse to credit the testimony of those who have found the Favorite Prescription to be all that is claimed for it in overcoming those aliments peculiar to your sex ? Why submit to the use of harsh, and perhaps caustic treatment, thus aggravating your malady when relief is guaranteed, and a positive, perfect, and permanent euro has been effected in thou-' sands of cases ? Wabash Station, 111., October 24,1876. R. V. Pierce, M. D., Buffalo, N. Y.: Dear Sir?Allow me to extend my most sincere thanks to you for the great benefit my wife has received from the use of your Favorite Prescription. She suffered almost intolerable before using your medicine, and I have tried the skill of several physicians but of no purpose. Finally, I thought I would give the Favorite Prescription a trial' and she is now sound and well. Very gratefully yours, D. A.

AFTER carefully aggregating the returns made by our customers for advancements made during the years 1875-76, we find that a large number of the precincts have not been heard from, and a great many others have only made partial returns. Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That if full and satisfactory returns are not made on or before the first day of April, a summons will be filed in the SherifTs Office, requiring defaulters to show cause why such returns have not been made. Testimony will be admitted going behind the Returning Board, and if it appears that the parties have fraudulently carried their Cotton to Greenville and other markets to evade the payment of their Account, then Judgment will be obtained and an Execution issued against their property, which will insure a fair count.
