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.

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.

lishers.
"Canker In the Bnd.?
You watch its development with expec?
tant solicitude?the choice, exquisitely
moulded bud which promises to unfold with
the perfect flower. You perhaps think how
it will adorn the drawing-room and vase,
and anticipate the pleasure of showing it
to your flower-loving friends. But some
morning you find its head drooping, its fra?
grance fled, and an ugly purple spot on one
of the delicately-tinted petals. It is the
poet's "canker in the bud." How often the
loathsome canker blights the cherished "in?
fant blossoms" in our household gardens?
those human buds which give earnest of a
brilliant future. The noisome canker, so
long concealed?scrofula?at length reveals
its dreaded presence and to our bright hopes
succeeds the most agonizing fear, for we
know the fatal sequel it portends?pulmo?
nary consumption. It is estimated by emi?
nent medical authorities that at least one
fifth of mankind are afflicted with this in?
sidious malady. 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.. No more efficient
alterative can be employed for these purpo?
ses than Dr. Pierce s Golden Medical Dis?
covery. While inipartin g strength and ton e
to the digestive organs it cleanses the blood
and heals the diseased tissues. Test its vir?
tues ere the deadly canker has blighted the
life you prize.

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.

A NEW COUNT TO BE MADE,
Which goes behind the Returning Board.
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 bo filed in the Sheriffs 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.
