LOCAL, MATTERS._
BBISF MEHTI?S.
Mr. J. H. Brock showed us samples of his
-wheat and oats which were very fine, the
latter being five feet high, and the former
heavily headed.
Mr. A. J. Sitton, of Pendleton, has pur?
chased a fine new portable Steam Engine
from Richard Tozer, of Columbia/ and
named it "Hampton."
Senator Cochran has*resigned as a mem?
ber of the Town Council of Anderson. The
Wardenship thus vacated will not at present
be filled, as the election for a new Council
occurs in. August.
Messrs. Leak & Moss, keep constantly on
hand the best brands of chewing and smok?
ing tobacco, which they sell at the most
iavorable prices. See advertisement else?
where, and give them a call.
A great deal of wheat has begun to sprout
in consequence of the continued wet weather.
The damage to this crop, the yield of which
has been very large this year, will be very
great, unless we have dry weather for a
.short time.
Rev. H. N. Hays will deliver an address
upon Temperance at New Prospect Church
?on next Saturday afternoon, at 3 o'clock,
"before.the New Prospect Division of the
;Sons of Temperance. The address will be
public, and all are invited to attend.
We publish on the first page of this issue
the late Act passed by the Legislature rela?
tive to fencing. This is a correct copy of |
the Act, and every one shotild save it, for it
will doubtless be the subject of a great deal
of discussion, in this County in a very short
time.
Messrs. J. L. Byrum and S. S. Newell
each brought samples of very fine wheat to
this office last week, several stalks of which
contained six grains of wheat to the mesh.
The yield of wheat this , year is expected to
surpass what has been attained in this sec?
tion for many years past.
Those persons who expect to engage in
the "manufacture of Sorghum Molasses this
season should read the advertisement of
Messrs. Sullivan & Co., which appears else?
where. By. purchasing a ''Victor Cane
Mill" and "Cook Evaporator," yon will be
prepared to make, with proper attention, au
excellent article of molasses.
J. Reese Fant, Esq., returned on last
Monday evening via Charleston, by steamer
from New York, whither he has been on a
visit for the past three weeks. He is looking
well, although he says that after a fair trial
of rail and water travel he has decided most
positively that steamboating is not condu- |
cive of unalloyed pleasure, especially if the
sea is a little rough, and hence he proposes
in future to make his journeys by railroad.
Mr. L. E. Campbell brought us on last
Thursday a very fine squash for this season
of the year. It measured nine inches in
diameter,, and weighed three pounds and
three-quarters, i Campbell says as this is off |
year, he has to work a great deal harder
than usual on his farm, to make up for
time lost in the campaign of last year, and
also to get sufficiently ahead to be prepared
for the canvass of 1877.
Mr. T. D. Kennedy, formerly local editor
of the Intelligences, who has for the past
year been in charge of the Blackville News,
retired from that field of labor two weeks
ago for more profitable pursuits. Mr. Ken?
nedy is a gentleman of fine mind, and has
done good work in the editorial harness.
He has our best wishes for the success which
his merits and attainments are,' we believe,
destined to procure for him.
We are indebted to Mr. Wm. Van Wyck,
President of the Young. Men's Democratic
Club of New York, for a copy of the New
York Evening Express, containing an account
of the great gathering at the festival of the
Manhattan Club. Mr. Van Wyck is well
known by many of our citizens, as he once
lived in our midst, and we are glad to know
that he has assumed a high position at the
New York bar, and is quite prominent
among the rising men of the "Empire City"
of our nation.
We had the pleasure of a call on yesterday
from Mr. J. Baylis Lewis, formerly a mer?
chant of this town, but at present with the
firm of F. W. Wagener & Co., wholesale
grocers, of Charleston, S. C. Mr. Lewis is
.traveling for this reliable business house,
and. will no doubt receive liberal orders
from our merchants, both on account of his
own popularity and on account of the high
reputation the house he represents has al?
ready established throughout the State. -
The merchants of Anderson have signed
an agreement to close their stores at half
past six o'clock in the afternoon from the
20th day of June inst. to the first day of
September next. Persons wishing to pur?
chase goods or sell produce would do well
to note this change, which went into opera?
tion yesterday. It is intended to give the
clerks, as well as the proprietors iu our bus?
iness houses, a little recreation during the
hot Summer weather, and is an arrange?
ment which is sure to be found an agreeable
one during the time specified.
Our Townville correspondent announces
the death of Dr. W. L. Broyles, a prominent
and influential citizen of this County, re?
siding in the Fork township. Dr. Broyles
was a thorough going, upright and intelli?
gent gentleman, possessed of a large degree
of public spirit, and devoted to the advance?
ment of all reforms, whether they be moral,
social, political or agricultural. He was a
younger brother of our former townsman,
Maj. A. R. Broyles, and his death will be
lamented by a very extensive circle of rela?
tives and friends.
On last Saturday afternoon Rev. W. H.
Strickland administered the ordinance of
Baptism, at the usual place in Rocky River,
to seven converts who have united with the
Baptist Church at this place during the in?
teresting religious meeting now in progress,
which gives promise of still further acquisi?
tions to the church of which Mr. Strickland
is pastor. Prayer-meeting services are held
every afternoon at five o'clock, and services
with a sermon are had every evening, be?
ginning at haJf-past eight o'clock. The
attendance is large, and the interest mani?
fested by the congregation is very encour?
aging.
Our friend .'D. Sloan White, of the Fork
township, sent us on Wednesday some de?
licious early Beatrice peaches, gathered from
a young orchard begun by him two or three
years ago. Mr. White, though a young
man, is one of our most progressive farmers,
and is rapidly surrounding himself with
many of the comforts and luxuries of life,
which are too much neglected by our peo?
ple, but for the production of which our
County is so well adapted. Sloan not only
excels in the culture of fruits, but we will
guarantee that when his corn and cotton
are gathered, he will be far in advance of
our average farmers as to yield and quality.
He has the nack of succeeding at what he
undertakes.
And now the newspapers tell us of a
young lady in Maine who has sued a young
gentleman of that State for a breach of
promise to marry, and estimated the injury
to her affections at the moderate sum of ten
thousand dollars, a verdict for which
amount she thinks would assuage her grief.
The manner in which the promise was made
was by the gentleman sending her a boquet
of flowers, the emblems of which were,
"I love you," and "Will you marry me?"
The young lady engaged herself, she says,
by returning him a flower, the emblem of
which is "Yes." The young man would
not, however, dance to the music of wed?
ding bells, and the result is that the wrong
of the poor girl is to be redressed by suit in
Court. Gentlemen sending boquets to la?
dies should be very careful not to send
flowers having the wrong emblem, or they
may fare the fate of the young gentleman
! from Maine.
Dr. R. E. Thompson has for the past few
years given a portion of his attention to ob?
taining a good orchard, and has now one of
the finest young orchards in the County.
It contains a very large variety of fruit
trees, and the Doctor gave us a practical
illustration of his success in growing early
peaches by bringing us on last Tuesday
some large, perfect, well-ripened, luscious
ones of the Early Beatrice variety. If all
of our farmers would give a little more time
and little better attention to fruits, they
would find our climate and our soil as good
for apples, peaches, grapes, plums and
berries as any other in the world. To do
this, however, they must, as Dr. Thompson
has done, introduce new varieties, and not
content themselves with planting scrub
twigs upon the poorest hill tops of the
farm. It could be made a very profitable
industry if pursued at all generally.
DEATH OF AN EXCELLENT L?DT.
It is with deep regret that we perform the
sad duty of chronicb'ng the death of Mrs.
John E. Breazeale, formerly Miss Bellotte,
of Pendleton, which occurred at the resi?
dence of her husband in this place after an
illness of a little more than one week.
Mrs. Breazeale was an estimable lady,
possessed of all those gentle and noble traits
which endear a true woman to her relatives
and friends. In all" of the relations of life
she attracted by her quiet grace and domes?
tic virtues the. friendship and adnuration of
those with whom she was associated. A
devoted wife, a fond and conscientious
mother and a true friend, she leaves by her
death a vacant seat around the hearthsjone
which husband and children, relatives and
friends will sadly mourn. Mrs. Breazeale
at the time of her death was in the morning
of her womanhood, with bright prospects of
life before her; but the reaper came, and
the happy home has been left desolate. It
must, however, be a source of consolation
to those who mourn her death to have the
assurance that they weep not as those with?
out hope, for the deceased was a pure, Chris?
tian woman, whose death was calm and
composed. A member of the Baptist Church,
she was a conscientious and devoted Chris?
tian, whose faith gave her power to bid
adieu to her loved ones, and to meet death
with a smile as remorseless and beautiful as
that which invokes slumber as a rest for
physical fatigue.
The funeral services will take place at the
Baptist Church to-day, .where many of the
friends and acquaintances of the deceased
will assemble to pay the saddest of earth's
tributes to a departed friend.
THE FENCE LAW.
We are indebted to J. L. Tribble, Esq.,
Clerk of Board of County Comissioners of
this County, for the information that the
following Townships have presented peti?
tions to the Commissioners for a vote upon
the proposed fence law, having the number
of signatures designated in each Township.
Rock Mills, 81; Broadaway. 83; Honea
Path, 75; Martin, 75; Hall, 75; Fork, 84;
Pendleton, 75; Williaruston, 75; Garvin, 77;
Belton, 86; Centerville; 82; Brushy Creek,
75; Varennes, Savannah and Corner have
not as yet presented any petition, but we
presume they will do so soon.
The Commissioners will meet on July the
third to consider the subject, and all peti?
tions should be addressed to them by the
time of the next meeting.
GOOD FARMING.
Under this head the Keowee Courier pub
lishto the following compliment to a farmer
of Anderson County:
. We had the pleasure recently of visiting
the farm of Mr. R. M. Morris, who fives near
Sandy Springs, Anderson County. Mr.
Morris gave us some' facts concerning his
farming last year, which we take pleasure
in publishing, in the hope that it may stim?
ulate some of our Oconee farmers. In 1876
off of one acre of ground Mr. M. produced
32i bushels of wheat, weighing 62 pounds to
the bushel. After the wheat was harvested
he planted the same ground in corn, and
gathered therefrom 26 bushels, weighing 60
Sounds to the bushel and 364 poudds of foti?
er. The total value of this crop, including
wheat, corn and fodder, was $95.50. The
cost of production was $28, leaving a net
profit off of one acre of $67.50. Upon anoth?
er acre the same year he produced 12 bushels
of wheat, 12 bushels of corn, 13 bushels of
peas, 150 pounds of fodder and 600 pounds
of pea vines, the total value of which was
$57.50. The cost of production was $10,
leaving a net profit of $47.50. Total profit
off of two acres of land the same year $115.
Mr. Morris also informed us that on the 25th
of June he sowed broadcast eight acres of
stubble land in speckled peas at the rate of
U bushels to the acre, ana that he gathered
therefrom nine bushels per acre. Can any
of our Oconee farmers beat this? If they
cm, we would be glad to hear from them.
It beats cotton planting all to pieces. Mr.
M.'s present crop of wheat, although injured
considerably by the late hail storm, will
make an abundant yield. One acre we think
will turn out as much as 25 or 30 bushels.
HYDROPHOBIA.
The excitement which induced the enact?
ment of the town ordinance in Anderson is
not local, but general. This fearful disease
is prevailing among dogs to an alarming
extent all over the country; and in Abbe?
ville County it seems to be worse than else?
where, as will be seen from the following
notices in the Abbeville papers, which go to
show that our dog law is a good one, and
should be rigidly enforced:
For the last day or two a veritable mad
dog has been creating a great deal of excite?
ment and uneasiness in this community.
Ten or a dozen persons have already been
bitten. Parents would do well to keep their
children in doors until something has been
done to relieve the community of this terri?
ble scourge. The distemper is spreading
among the dogs about town, and the coun?
cil should at once take active measures to
subdue the excitement. Every dog found
on the streets after next Saturday without a
muzzle should be shot.?Medium.
A mad dog or two about town has scared
nearly all of our citizens out of their boots.
Several negroes have been bitten by the
rabid animal, and the number of canines
that have been bitten is unknown. The
town council have instructed the town
marshal to shoot all stray dogs found on
the streets, and nearly everybody has a pis?
tol about his person to be used in case of
emergency. It is unsafe for a dog to go
nosing around our people now.
When the mad dog reached Mr. Webb's
school house yesterday morning the exer?
cises' of that institution were immediately
suspended, when teacher and pupils ad?
journed to the rafters of that building.
Nobody was bitten at this school.?Press
and Banner.
It is strange that so few good men consider
it wicked to be dishonest in politics.
The blackberry industry in Georgia, North
Carolina, and the other Southern States is
about to open and the local papers are show?
ing what a bonanza is running to waste.
The little town of Salem, N. C, containing
only about 2,000 inhabitants, has shipped
during three years over 3,000,000 pounds oi
dried blackberries, for which nearly half a
million dollars was received. This was
equal to over 9,000 bales of cotton at 10 cents
a pound; and is a resource certainly not to
be despised.
County CoiTespondence.
HONSA PATH.
Up to Friday las'; four liogs, one cow, one
calf and three dog* bad gone mad and were
killed. In addition to this, seven dogs have
been killed which ;vere considered in a dan?
gerous condition, ail having been bitten by
the Phillips mad dog.The thieves have
now turned loose on bee-gums. George
Grcer lost the honey from two rich gums
last week.S. N. Latimer has hoisted the
black flag and declared war against sheep
killing dogs.Wheat is reported sprouting
and otherwise injuring from the rains of the
past week.J. j. Shirley reports corn
tassels, and another young farmer no coin
tassels, but lots of molly-pop blossoms.
The special train through from Charleston i
j on Monday last, passed hero in the after?
noon on time, and now that it is possible to
run through in a day, it is hoped that it
will be done regularly.
SANDY SPEINGS.
General Green has made his appearance
among us, and unless our farmers make
every edge cut he will supplant them, and
eventually gain the victory.The crops,
though small, are in fine condition. Since
the showers they have been growing rapidly.
.Sandy Springs can boast of as many, if
not more, good, industrious and scientific
farmers than any community in any county
of the same age. They not only cultivate
their lands thoroughly, but they comply
with the requisite of Chemistry, which says,
"put on as much as you take off." Doing
this, the soil, instead of deteriorating in its
yield, will increase year after year.The
wheat crop is being harvested and threshed.
Messrs. Dickson, PicLle and McElroy have
started with their steam thresher.The
exercises of Sandy Springs Academy closed
on Friday, loth inst., and will be resumed
the 16th of July.Rev. J. T. Attaway
preached at Sandy Springs on last Sunday.
Although very much indisposed physically,
he delivered a sermon with the usual amount
of zeal and earnestness. We wish Mr. Atta?
way a speedy recovery to his former health
and vigor.
-
LEBANON.
The crops in this locality are improving
very rapidly since the rain, and the prospect
for Spring-sown oats A most flattering.
Our forest trees, which were almost stripped
of their leaves by the hail-storm, have put
out a second growth, and once more have
assumed their usual Summer appearance.
.The question of fencing in our stock is
being warmly discussed by all classes of our
community. The white and the black alike
take an interest in" the proposed change.
Even our ladies are enthusiastic in their
support of tbe measura. I believe that the
change in our fence system would produce
as beneficial a revolution in our agriculture
as the inauguration of Hampton has done
in our politics. It has been agreed upon
by some of our citizens to discuss this ques?
tion with the colored voters, and a meeting
will take place on Saturday, the thirtieth
day of this month, near Mountain Spring
(colored) Baptist Church, where Messrs.
Jeptha and William Harper, and perhaps
others, will address them in favor of the
change.Our debating society will discuss
at its next meeting the question, "Were
our forefathers justifiable in driving the
Indians from this country ?" Great interest
is taken in this society by our citizens. Its
attendance is always good, and the debates
are sharp and improving.
FOSK.
The past week was showery throughout,
and craps are growing off rapidly.A
combined effort is being made to get the
threshermen to reduce the toll rate from the
tenth to the fifteenth.Mr. Jordan Burns,
of Townville, has an acre of corn now in
silk and tassel, and also six acres of cotton
conceded by all to he the finest in that
vicinity.The pic nie at Double Springs
Grange Hall is postponed until the 4th of
July. The citizens v. ill do their utmost to
make it an enjoyable occasion.Dr. Silas
Heller, of Newberry, and lately graduated
from Baltimore Medical College, is located
temporarily in the Fork, where he proposes
practicing his profession. The Doctor is a
quite prepossessing young gentleman, and
we wish him much success.Jonathan
Pickerel, Esq., now nearly eighty years old,
has never yet found it necessary to consult
a doctor of physic. His eyesight is consid- ?
erably impaired, but jtherwise he appears
to be as hale as he was ten or fifteen years
ago, and he is certainly as jovial as ever.
Dr. William Lowndcs Broylcs, one of our
best citizens and, we believe, a member of
the State Grange, died at his home on last
Thursday, 14th inst., in the 55th year of his
age. A year or two ago he was attacked
with a kind of throat affection which the
? skill of some of the best medical men in the
land could not arrest, and he gradually
grew worse until death terminated his suf?
ferings and his life. This sad event be?
reaves a wife and five bright, intellectual
children, the eldest a son, not yet twenty
one years old; but they have the tenderest
sympathy and condolence of the entire
community. Several hundred people, in?
cluding about fifty colored persons, wit?
nessed the interment ceremonies, thereby
attesting their genuine respect for the de?
ceased. The remains were buried at Smith
Chapel, Methodist Church, of which the
deceased was an orthodox member, the
pastor, Rev. T. P. Phillips conducting the
funeral services. Dr. Broyles possessed pos?
itive traits of character, was strong in his
likes, strong in his dislikes, strong in sup?
porting what he believed to be right, and
strong in denouncing what he believed to
be wrong. There is no man without the
faults of human nature,' but whatever his
faults he carried in his hand even unto
death the love and admiration of a host of
friends, among whom he was a tower of
strength, and the respect even of those who
stood opposed to him in the struggle of life.
Mb. Editok : As I saw in a former num.
ber that your columns were open for dis?
cussion in regard to the fence law, I take the
liberty of giving my reasons for opposing
the measure.
First, it will not suit the poor man who
has no help. In the first place, he has no
watercourse; consequently he has to dig a
well, and after a hard day's work he has to
go half a mile to water and feed his stock
all the year round. If b e has sheep or goats
he must have two pastures, for if hogs and
sheep are kept under one fence he will raise
no lambs. Again, there will not be any?
thing saved in the way of timber, for it will
require as many rails to keep up a pasture
fence as for the crop, as the fence will have
to be sufficiently strong to keep anything
from breaking through. Therefore, the
rails must be entirely new and kept so, with
as much repairing every year as our present
plan requires. All this would be Yery hard
on the poor man, who would have all or
most of the work to do in addition to his
usual routine of farm duty.
It would suit the rich man, we are free to
admit, as he can afford to hire all the help
he may need, and can have as many pas?
tures as he may please, and to him it would
be a very nice thing. "Sot so with the poor
man. Then again, there must be an addi?
tional tax to keep up a line fence between
Counties. Now, the poor man has to pay
his part of this tax, when he has already as
?much as he can stand up to. Besides, we
are hardly out of one political trouble be?
fore some selfish plan is iirstigated to bring
us into another kind, for it does not require
much sagacity to perceive the selfishness of j
this plan. Another reason why the law
should not be passed is, that however strong
the fence may be, we very frequently have
winds that can blow them down; and sup?
pose this occurs at night, all the stock is at
once turned out and your crop destroyed be?
fore day. These are things that cannot be
prevented. Again, a farmer cannot prevent
a thoroughfare being made through his
crop unless he can keep a constant watch,
which no farmer can do.
Much more might be said against the
law, but uough has been already said to
convince any unselfish mind that it will
operate against more persons than it will
benefit. Lest it should be said the writer
has his own selfish ends to gratify, he has
as many and as good water-courses for pas?
turage as he may have need, and therefore
it would be as much benefit to the writer as
to others; bu t he is not willing to make
others sacrifice their interests for his indi?
vidual benefit.' Neither is it reasonable or
right that the many poor should be made to
suffer so much inconvenience for the benefit
of the few. VARENNES,
Appletons' Journal for July gives con?
siderable space to a novelette by Christian
Reid, entitled "A "Work of Retribution."
It is given complete, and accompanied by a
good'illustration by Mr. Sheppard. The
illustrated article is based upon Russell's
volume, "The Prince of Wales' Tour in
India," being devoted principally to the
hunting adventures of the prince. Colonel
Baker's "Turkey in Europe" affords the
groundwork for another Eastern paper, in
which there are some striking pictures of
life and notable adventures in the Turkish
provinces. Thero is a pleasing description
of the Fame Islands, the "land of gulls and
guillemots," off the east coast of England,
which is spiced with a love-adventure. An
amusing paper on "Osculation" gives the
history, philosophy and poetry of kissing.
This article alone must make the number a
favorite with ladies. An entertaining paper,
by Wirt Sikes, entitled "The True Story of
Owen Glendower," is based upon researches
and discoveries recently made at Cardiff,
where Mr. Sikes is now United States con?
sul. A very graphic and striking sketch,
entitled "Lighting a Match," records some
strange adventures in a German inn. Mr.
H. M. Robinson describes in an entertain?
ing manner the characteristics of the Black
feet Indians, and the peculiar methods of
trading with them. Th?e different papers
illustrate such widely-diversified phases of
life as those of India, Turkey, the Western
Plains, Wales, Germany, the English sea?
side, and America. There are poems, short
articles mainly of a humorous character
under the head of "Collectanea," and the
editor's usual review of books, and com?
ments on current topics.
Will Carleton poetically called the negroes
"jet jewelry.'' We thought they were moke
pearls.
In life it is difficult to say who does you
the most mischief?enemies with the worst
intentions, or friends with the best.

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 be filed in the Sheriffs Office, requiring defaulters to shuw
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.
Zcll's Ammoniatcd and Acid Phosphates on hand, and will be sold on the
following liberal terms: Cash, $50. Time, $60. Or one Ton for 500 lbs. Middling Cotton
delivered on the first of November next.
WILSON & REED, No. 7 Granite Row.
THE BEST PUMP IN THE WORLD.
NOTHING conduces more to GOOD HEALTH than PURE WATER. Such is fur
-131 nished by the
DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP,
Manufactured by J. O. 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 relics on its own merits, upon
which it asks your patronage. This Pump is represented hi Anderson and adjoining
Counties, together with the Counties of Hart, Elbcrt, Wilkcs and Oglethorpc in Georgia,
ALONZO L. WELCH, Anderson, S. C.
Send in orders at once for Pumps, and they will be delivered and put iu immediately.
