THE IMTLLIGENCER. IiOCAIi MATTERS. BRIEF MENTION. Mr. John M. Moorehead brought us sam? ples of wheat on yesterday with very large^ fine heads containing five grains to the meshV Our young friend J. R. Moorhead brought us two stalks of cotton with squares on them last Thursday. Tltfs was early for the present season. I ?Rev. W. H. Strickland now has an inter? esting religious meeting progressing in the Baptist Church at this place, which gives promise of great good to our community. We are indebted to Mr. Julius D. Dreher, of this State, for an invitation to attend the commencement exercises of Roanoke (Va.) College on the 13th of June inst. Rev. Wm. Henry Strickland will preach in the Baptist Church next Sunday at 10:30 a. m. Subject?"Peter, his-fall and restora? tion." At night at 8:30, Subject-"It might have been." Lebanon Division, Sons of Temperance, had a large and enthusiastic meeting on last Saturday afternoon. Eloquent and thrill? ing speeches were made by Messrs. G. F. Tolly and E. R. Carswell. Mr. T. W. Russell has been appointed Trial Justice for Pickens County at Easley Station by Gov. Hampton. Mr. Russell is an intelligent, competent and . suitable per? son for the position, and will no donbt make an acceptable and efficient officer. The Representatives of Andeison County in the General Assembly, Messrs. W. C. Brown, R. W. Simpson, H. R. Vandiver and Jas. L. Orr, returned to their homes on last Saturday, after the adjournment of the Legislature. We have had a general rain which puts our farmers in excellent humor, as it has already started their crops to growing very rapidly. It is not now thought that the hail storm and recent, drought combined will materially affect the yield of our crops as a general thing. - Mr. W. B..Erskine brought us on Tues? day a stalk of cotton fully twelve inches high with foursquares on it; which he says is a fair sample of about six' acres of his J crop, which was fertilized with compost prepared at home from ingredients furn-1 ished by Messrs. Wilhite & Williams. | Gov. Hampton has appointed Wm. S. Hall, Esq., Deputy Surveyor for Anderson J County. This is a very excellent appoint- J ment, as Mr. Hall has filled the position for a number of years, and is familiar with j every portion of Anderson County. He is J an accurate, practical surveyor, and ourpeo pie are pleased with the appointment. C" The Ninety Six Guardian is an ably cou-1 ducted and neat paper, which has just been established at Ninety Six by Mr. M. B. Mc- I Sweeny. It is devoted to politics and litera- J ture, but more especially at present is giving its attention to the formation of a new county, with Ninety Six as the Court House, j to be made out of portions of Abbeville, j Newberry, Edgefield and Laurens. Wej wish the Guardian great success. i We'would respectfully ask the attention J of our delinquent subscribers to the fact that we must have a little money to ran a news- J paper on through the summer, and if each of our readers who knows that ho is in deb ted to us for subscription will send us one dollar on his account during this month, j it will afford us the desired assistance. Do not leave tliis request to be complied with! by your neighbors, but pay in your own J dollar also, as newspapers live by an aggre- j gation of small sums. -j We had the pleasure of meeting Capt. J R. W. Simpson on Wednesday last. He is I looking well, despite the labors he has per- J formed during the recent session of the Leg- j islature. Mr. Simpson is one of the leading members of the present House, and has J shown himself vigilant over the rights of his constituents. He exercised great influ- j ence during the session, and modified in important particulars quite a number of the most beneficial acts proposed. He expresses I himself as rejoiced to be set free once morel by the adjournment. The Summer Commencement of William-1 ston Female College will take place on the j 20th and 21st of June next. On Wednes- J day, the 20th, a sermon will he delivered by I Rev. A. Coke Smith, of Greenville, and on J Thursday, the 21st, Hon. S. Dibble, of J Orangeburg, will address the Erosophic So- j ciety, (in the morning,) immediately after j which the Graduating Exercises will take place. Rev. W. W. Duncan, of Wofford College, Spartanburg, will deliver the I Alumnte Address in the evening. We are I indebted to Prof. Lander for an invitation I to attend upon this interesting occasion. j Senator Cochrail reached home on last I Monday evening, and will spend a few days in Anderson before returning to Columbia for the purpose of arranging for the inves- j tigations proposed for the Committee under j Senator Bowen's resolutions. Senator Coch- j ran informs us that he introduced the last j fifteen acts contained in the list we publish j to-day. It is estimated that they will effect a saving of about $225,000 for the State. He also promises to make things warm for the numerous wrong-doers when his Com- j mittee begins its investigations. j A committee composed of Messrs. W. W. J Keys, F. T. Wilhite and A. S. Todd, from the Charles Pinckney Society, have pub-1 lished a card inviting all of the literary so-1 cieties of the State, whether collegiate or otherwise, to consider the propriety of form- j ing a Stato Society, to be composed of dele- j gates from all of the subordinate societies in j the State, and request them to make known j their action. The proposition deserves the j attention of the various societies, and, if j adopted, would be of very great interest and I improvement in literary circles. j The Governor has made the following ap-1 pointments of Trial Justices for Anderson Count}', and they have been confirmed by J the Senate: Anderson C. H., John C. Whit- j field; Honea Path and Martin townships, j R. N. Wright; Fork, W. F. M. Fant; Pcn dleton and Garvin, W. H. D. Gaillard; Hopewell and Centreville, S. S. Jones; Va rmnes, Hall and Corner, J. L. Bryan; Sa? vannah and Rock Mills, T. H. Anderson; Belton and Broadaway, John N. Suther? land. This leaves Willianiston and Brushy Creek without a Trial Justice. We do not know the cause of the omission, but sup? pose it was an accident, which will at once be corrected. The citizens of the Fork Township intend having a grand pic nie at Double Springs Grange Hall on Saturday next. We are in? debted to Maj. D. L. Cox, W. T. McElroy and W. T. Grubbs, the committee, for an invitation to be present upon this occasion. The Fork Debating Society will discuss the question, "Which deserves the gretter honor, Columbus for discovering America, or Washington for defending it ?" Messrs. A. R. Broyles, G. N. C. Boleman, W. A. Dickson, L. J. King, G. V. Broyles and Howard Bruce appear for the Affirmative; Messrs. W. T. McElroy, T. J. Compton, D. S. White, J. L. O. King and Willis Grubbs for the Negative. The committee have also invited Mr. E. B. Murray to address the audience upon that occasion on the subject of the proposed fence law. The public gen-1 erally and the ladies especially are invited to attend, and the latter are requested not to forget their baskets for the day, which will no doubt be a very pleasant and agree? able occasion. The dog-law is being rigidly enforced in the Town of Anderson. There are some of -our citizens who are opposed to it, and be? lieve the hydrophobia excitement is all non? sense, and that there is no such disease, ex? cept in the imagination of individuals. To them we commend the views of our Honea Path correspondent that hogs and cows have gone mad from the bite of a demented ca? nine. We hardly suppose they can attrib? ute the madness of these animals to imagi? nation. The argument that because people i pay tax on their dogs they are at liberty to keep them in the streets is also withont force. The menagerie keeper pays tax on his lions and wolves, but that does not en? title him to turn them loose. The Town Council owns our streets, and it is not only its right but also its duty to guard against the danger, or even possibility, of one of our citizens being bitten by a mad dog on the streets, which we are compelled to frequent. The ordinance is a good one, and should be enforced until the danger is passed. DEATHS. Death has again visited our town and claimed another victim from the business men of Anderson. For several weeks past Mr. John E. Sadler, of the firm of Simpson & Sadler, druggists, had been prostrated by ,an attack of fever which, in its latter stages, assumed the typhoid form. All that med? ical skill, aided by tender care and devoted attention, could do failed to bring back 'health: or stay the hand of death, and on last Friday morning Mr. Sadler peacefully and with Christian resignation breathed his last. He was a quiet and unassuming gen? tleman, whose worth, though perceived by all, was not appreciated in its fullest extent, except by the circle of his intimate acquain? tances'. A generous, conscientious, upright citizen has passed from our midst, and his death is a loss to our community. Only a few -months since Mr. Sadler was united in wedlock to Mrs. Mary Sloan, formerly Miss Benson, of this town, who, by this sad bereavement, is left to mourn so soon the loss of an affectionate and devoted husband, whose purity of life and worth of character command for her the sincere sym? pathy of the community of which he was a citizen. His remains were interred in the Presby? terian cemetery at this place after the per? formance of solemn though beautiful and impressive funeral services, by Revs. W. H. Strickland and H. F. Chrietzberg. A large concourse of ladies and gentlemen were present to pay earth's last tribute of respect to the remains of the departed one. Col. Oliver Hewitt died at his residence in the town of Grahams, Barnwell County, on Thursday last, at 8 o'clock a. m., after a serious illness of several weeks. Col. Hew? itt was a genial companion, an energetic business man, a useful citizen and a thorough gentleman, who was the recipient of friendship from many of our citizens on accoimt of his own worth, as well as the're? lation he sustained to our community as the brother of the late Mrs. F. C. v Borstel, who was a general favorite of our people, and more recently on account of his marriage with Miss Clara, daughter of Mr. A. R. Broyles, a prominent and respected gentle? man of our County. He was a leading member of the temperance order, and was favorably known and much beloved by all of its members, on account of the faithful and zealous manner in which he discharged the important duties of the office of Grand Scribe of the Grand Division of South Caro? lina. He will be sadly missed in this sphere of usefulness, and it will be difficult to find a successor who can supply the place of Col. Hewitt in the temperance work. His un? timely death is not only lamented by the circle of his relatives and friends, but also by numbers who have never known him other than through the reputation he had made as one of the Grand Officers of the temperance order of the State. : -: SCISSORED LOCALS. A man with a red nose is said to have a rye patch in his face. We predict that it will rain?somebody else may fix the time. Farmers have begun to feel their oats with scythe-blades. It is now time to get your white-wash brush, and touch up your out-houses and fences. Those who have the money will soon be fleeing to the different watering places to escape the heat of summer. Let your children exercise. Exercise is as essential to development as air is to lifo. No child can acquire a large, compact, mus? cular organization without it. The improvement fever is raging in a very mild form, and is confined principally to painting, white-washing, fence-building, constructing grape arbors, and cleaning up of rubbish. Bad luck is simply a man with his hands in his pocket and a pipe in his mouth look? ing to see how it will come out. Good luck is a man of pluck, with his sleeves rolled up and working to make it come out right. "When this cruel war is over," will be a popular, though not a very sentimental, song again if flour continues to go up, and cotton down, and the Turks and Russians don't stop their foolishness. As a general rule very few people enter into an argument in order to discover the truth of the matter to be discussed. In nine cases out of ten they want to hold their own and rout their enemy. Hence follows an occasional loss of temper and sometimes the severance of long and valued friendships. The Internal Revenue Commissioner re? plies to an inquiry from St. Louis that any person selling distilled spirits or wines for any purpose whatever, on medical prescrip? tion or not, is liable to pay special tax; but that sales of mixtures containing such wines or spirits which cannot be used as a bev? erage, or of articles containing them put up as medicines, in bottles or other inclosures, duly stamped with United States proprie? tary stamps, according to the provisions of Schedule C, do not involve such liability. There are many and continual complaints of hard times throughout the whole South, but we assure our people that this deplora? ble depression iu every branch of our indus? tries, is not confined to one section alone, for the distress is both wide-spread and uni? versal. The constant strikes of the miners of Pennsylvania, and the cry of half-starved citizens of - the West for the bread with which to keep soul and body together, shows that the people all over the Union, are in the most distressed and impoverished circumstances. Even in the extreme West, the condition of affairs seems to be no better. GBAHGEBS' QUARTERLY MEETING. Deep Creek, Harper, Sandy Springs and Town Creek Granges have organized a Quarterly Meeting, and hereby invite the other Granges of Anderson County to co? operate with them in these Quarterly Meet? ings. Their next meeting will be held at Deep Creek Grange Hall, on Saturday before the second Sabbath in August next, at 9 a. m. We would be glad to meet represen? tatives of other Granges, either sent by the Granges, or as volunteer visitors. By order of the Body. L. W. GENTRY, Secretary pro km. County Correspondence. EONEA FATE. Everybody was made glad by the rain on Saturday and Sunday last. The crops are now looking fresh and promise well. "Wheat is being harvested, and if no accident hap? pens to it, the yield will be large. Steam threshers are .'jetting ready for the work, and will soon be on the "go.".One or two hogs, one cow and a half dozen dogs were killed last week, being a continuation of the damage done by the Phillips "mad dog.".This place now boasts of two saw mills, one run by steam?the other by a small fifteenth amendment.Robert Kay's smoke-bouse was broken open several nights since, and as he does not keep his meat in that house, they were doubtless disappoint? ed. Smoke-house breakers ought to re? member that this is not the pardoning year nor next, either?and go to work for an honest living.A petition in reference to the fence law has been forwarded to the County Commissioners, signed by over fifty tax-payers of the township. LEBANON. There have been three dogs on the mad order in our midst during the past week. Two of these belonged to freedmen on the place of Mr. Jeprha Harper, and one was at five forks. The symptoms of the disease were well developed in these brutes, and they were killed. They had fits, and their eyes were very green. I wish that three fourths of the dogs in our country could be killed, and then we would be able to raise sheep profitably.We again have an op? portunity of adopting the law requiring every one to fence up his stock, and I be? lieve that our people will avail themselves of it, for it is assuredly to the interest of | both land owners and laborers to adopt its provisions. One-third of our present stock properly housed and cared for would pay much better than what we now have. The compost which "re could save and the im? provement of ouv stock would of itself repay for the trouble of keeping them up.A few days ago a colored man named Perry Young was arresusd on a warrant issued by S. S. Jones, Trial Justice, for breaking into the house of Mr. A. E. King and stealing some bacon and meal. He confessed his guilt to the constable, Mr. A. K. Mann, but succeeded in making his escape. A brother of this negro, named Berry Benson or Berry Jones, was excluded from his church for a heinous offense, and would also have been prosecuted had he not left this section of | the country. FOBK. Rev. J. B. Adger, of Pendleton, will preach in the Baptist Church at Townville next Sunday, the 17th.All the schools in this township, save one, are closed tempo? rarily, enjoying a season of recreation. There are a" few cases of measles near Town? ville. This contagion has prevailed in this community more or less generally for the last two years.We are requested to state that a public entertainment will be given at Double Springs Grange hall next Saturday, 16th, consisting of a debate at 9 a. m., a basket dinner at 12 m., and a dance in the afternoon.Mr. James A. Gantt, a most exemplary farmer, furnished his harvesters with luncheon and hot coffee at intervals through the day. This is a decided im? provement on the ?dd-time whiskey custom, and is certainly moro substantially stimu? lative.The drouth had lasted precisely five weeks, when on last Saturday evening most portions of the Fork were visited with h'ght but refreshing showers, followed that night and the gre er part of Sunday by a slow, steady rain, ? hich altogether make a very good season. This morning (Monday) everything presents a cheerful aspect, and the peopie are quite busy transplanting., Harvesting is fairly begun, and the wheat crop in particular gives promise of a more abundant yield than has been had in this section for several years. Messrs. H. W. McCarley & Co., Gantt & Co., and G. W. Burns, thresh er men, are hastily preparing for a vigorous competitive campaign.At the close of the season we will ascertain and report a correct aggregate of the amount of wheat, oats, &c, produced in this township. SANDY SPRINGS. The thing so long.prayed for and so much needed was thankfully received a few days ago. Since the shower everything has an invigorating and lively appearance. The farmers are beginning to smile and look somewhat cheerful Bince their crops have commenced to grow. Corn and cotton, al? though small, is locking very well. With good seasons from this on, and a late Fall, there will be very near, if not quite, as much made as last year.Wheat that the hail-storm did not strike is very fine ; but that which the hail did pass over and in? jure has sprouted from the old stubble and will no doubt make half a crop. Mr. T. L. Reid's wheat was the worst abused of any in the neighborhood, and with good seasons he will make a tolerably good crop.The fence law is being agitated to a considerable extent by our land-holders. Some are for and some against it. We are under the impression, though, that the majority are in favor of no fence.The members of j Sandy Springs Church have taken steps to? wards re-covering the Arbor. We hope they mav succeed, especially if they con? clude to have camp-meeting next Fall; be? cause it would not be advisable to have a meetng under the arbor in its present dan? gerous condition.Mrs. Nettie Gilkerson, formerly McElroy, came up a week or ten days ago from her home in Laurens to pay her relatives and friends a visit. Mrs. G. is as gay and as fascinatiug as in her maiden charms. She is delighted with her new home. STORE VILLE. We write you again from another stand? point. We need not tell you where Store Yille is situated, it being an old place; you no doubt have a complete knowledge of it, but for the information of some of the read? ers of the Intelligencer, we will mention that Storeville is situated twelve miles south? east of Anderson C. H., and fourteen miles south of Bclton, on what is known as the Brown's Road, on Rocky River, and is in a very pleasant and fertile portion of the County.Storeville Mills are propelled by waters of Rocky River, and owned by Mrs. A. C. Jackson, who is also post mistress at this point. The mills are undergoing a thorough repair and will be in fine running order soon. Mrs. Jackson has also just completed a very neat and commodious dwelling.We have good schools, and churches of different denominations con? veniently located in our community. Va renncs Church (Presbyterian) is one mile from Storeville, and has preaching on the first Sunday of each month by Rev. Mr. Lindsay. First Creek Church (Baptist) is located three miles from Storeville, and has preaching twice a month?on the second Sabbath by Rev. A. Rice, and on the fourth Sabbath, and the Saturday before, by Rev. W. E. Walters. It has also a flourishing Sabbath School, superintended by Hi L. Clinkscales. Ebenezer Church (Methodist) is three miles from Storeville, and has preaching twice a month by ^Rev. Mr. Erwin, with Sabbath School three Sundays in the month. A Baptist Church has re? cently been dedicated at the Carswell Insti? tute, two miles from Storeville, where there is preaching by Rev. E. R. Carswell on the first and third Sabbaths of each month. The Ourswell Instit.Ue is in a flourishing condition. The preceptors, E. R. Cars well and W. E. Walters, are both energetic men, and will doubtless build up a capital semi? nary of learning, and a famous name for themselves. We .had the pleasure a few weeks ago of attending an entertainment of the school, a debate between the young men and young ladies, upon the subject, "Should the female be as highly educated as the male?" The decision was in favor of the affirmative. The young men presented some very strong arguments for the nega? tive, and all elicited much credit to them? selves and their teachers. We hope to en? joy another such occasion.One among the oldest and best country schools in the County is the Ebenezcr School, supervised by Mr. C. C. Iieid, who has had charge of this school for a number of years, and re? ceives a liberal patronage ns is deserved by the ability of the teacher.A fall attend? ance of the members of Ebenezer Division, Sons of Temperance, is requested at the next regular meeting, which is on Saturday, lGth inst., as business of importance will be be? fore the Division. Rusticus. LT TELL'S LIVING AGE.

But its ravages are so se? cret, that even its victims are unaware of its presence until it suddenly discloses itself in some of its myriad and ofttimes fatal forms. A slight cutaneous eruption is often the only indicator of its presence. The on? ly means of exterminating this disease from the system is by a thorough course of con? stitutional treatment. This treatment must fulfill three indications, namely, promote nutrition, alter or purify the blood, and ar? rest disorganization of the tissues and the formation of tubercles..

June 14, 1877 48 Liver Complaints, or Biliousness. THE liver is the largest gland of the body. It is situated on the right side, just beneath the ribs, and weighs about four pounds. It secretes a thick, dark, greenish yellow fluid, called bile. As fast as the bile is elaborated it is deposited in the gall-blad? der, and passes by a small duct into the in? testines. When from any cause this duct becomes clogged, or the liver becomes de? ranged, the bile does not pass into the intes? tines, but is absorbed by the blood and is diffused throughout ever}' part of the sys? tem. When the action of the intestines be? comes perverted, or when the liver secretes too much bile, then the bile is diverted from its natural course and passes into the stom? ach. It is taken up by the absorbents and blood-vessels of the stomach, and becomes incorporated into the blood, producing nau? sea, headache, giddiness, vomiting, and oth? er symptoms of poisoning. Such affections are called biliary affections, or biliousness. SIMMONS' HEPATIC COMPOUND is sure to regulate avery disorder of the liver. It stimulates the absorbents to healthy ac? tion, and carry off all the impurities with winch the system is clogged. For sale at wholesale and retail by SIMP? SON & SADLER. Anderson, S. C.
