? THE IMTLLIGENCER. "local, matters. BRIEF HEHTIOXt. J. E. Peoples, dealer in tinware, etc., wants ten thousand pounds of raw hides, for wine' he will pay cash. James L. Orr, Esq., has been appointed as a member of Gov. Hampton's staff with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Up to the present time the town marshals have killed about seventeen or eighteen dogs for coming on the streets unmuzzled. We would a3k the attention of our readers to the advertisements of J. N. Carwile, Esq.. School Commissioner for this County. The tinib to send in petitions for the vote on the fenceiaw ends on next Tuesday. Do not fail to get in a petition from every town? ship. We begin the publication this week of an interesting story entitled a "Work of Retri? bution," which will run for sortie five or six weeks. We publish this week the charter of the Grangers'Savings Bank of Anderson, that all who desire may acquaint themselves with its provisions. We had the' pleasure of a brief visit on Monday last from Mr. D. B. Anderson, of Sumter, who has been spending some time among relatives in this County. J. S. Murray, jr., has returned from Fur man University, where he has pursued his j i studies fox. 4he .past two sessions, having! graduated upon the entire course of study j pursued by him during this time. ? The Speech of Dr. W. C. Brown, which we'pubRsh'this week, is produced in re? sponse to the requests of numerous friends of the Doctor, who desired to see his views upon the subject treated in the speech. The meeting in the vicinity of Mount Zion Church to discuss the fence law will J ? take place on next Saturday at two o'clock p. m. A large crowd is expected to be present, and an interesting discussion is anticipated. j A large crowd passed up on last Monday evening to be present at the commencement exercises of Xcwberry College at Walhalla, j which were to begin on Tuesday and con? clude on yesterday. The occasion was doubtless a most enjoyable one. The Anderson Cornet Band gave the people of our town a delightful serenade on last Friday afternoon from .the public - square. The gentlemen who compose this band are improving very rapidly in music, and we predict that soon they will rank among the first musical associations in the State. Owing to the lateness of its arrival, we are compelled to leave out the portion of our Cuffee Creek correspondent's communi? cation upon the subject of the fence law; but it wiR appear on the first page of our next issuej^We are always glad to receive his articles, for they are interesting and practical. Rev.~W.Hi Strickland administered the ortliuanee of Baptism in Rocky River to sis converts', on- Wednesday morning. The meeting :h$he Baptist Church still contin? ues? large audien ces attending and much in? terest being manifested in them. Services every afternoon at five o'clock, and at half past eight o'clock every night. ? I Some very fineyields of wheat have Keen obtained by citizens of this town. Mrs. Beilotte made twenty-three bushels on three-quarters of an acre; Judge Murray got thirty bushels and three pecks from one acre; O. H. P. Fant, Esq., made twenty seven bushels on one acre, and Mr. J. B. McGee made forty-five bushels from three acres. . . \ The addrcssv deUvered by Rev. W. H. Strickland, befQre the Alumini Association of Furman University on last Thursday night in Greenville, is said to have been a very fine production, abounding with valu? able, practical 'suggestions and hits upon the subject of "Work." From the amount of professional labor performed by Mr. Strickland, we imagine he knew what he was talking about. We had the pleasure of a call on last Sat? urday from Mr. T. D.-Kennedy, late editor of the Blackville News. Mr. Kennedy is at present visiting his father at this place, and purposes remaining in Anderson some weeks. He is evidently enjoying excellent health, and therefore has no cause for com? plaint against the low' country, though he slightly prefers the mountainous belt of our State during the summer months. A runaway scrape was caused by the care lessness of drivers at the Baptist Church on last Thursday. The frightened horse dashed off at fearful speed carrying a draw with him and passing down a street crowded with persons, and passed on without dam? age until the vehicle struck Mr. Murphy's dray, and the horse loosed in the smash up. The dray was considerably damaged, but the horse escaped without injury. This should serve as a warning to drivers where there are numerous vehicles, to be more cautious in running into or against one an? other. There is no excuse for such reckless? ness. Capt. A. A. Dickson, an aged and respec? table citizen of Anderson County, departed this life after a brief illness on last Friday. Capt. Dickson was about seventy years old, and though his health was at times feeble, he retained to the last of his life more than the usual vigor for men of his years. He was one of the old teachers of the County, and yedrs ago, in his younger days, he was noted for the precision and thoroughness with which he trained the youthful mind. He ranked especially high as a mathema? tician among his fellow teachers. Capt. Dickson leaves numerous scholars who, with relatives and friends, cherish his memory and regret his decease. Rev. D. E. Frierson has returned from his visit to Alabama, and seems much in? vigorated by his short vacation. While absent he attended the commencement ex? ercises of Vandcrbilt University, and ex? presses himselt as most highly gratified with the evidences of proficiency and schol? arship displayed by the graduates. He was much captivated by the fine country of Alabama, but evidently is still a believer in the merits of old Carolina. Mr. Frierson htts resumed his pastoral labors, and hence? forth the, services of his Church will be con? ducted as usual. The community are grati? fied to have Mr. Frierson hack again, as he is one of our most popular ministers. We regret to record the death of Mrs. Elizabeth, wife of the late Col. Herbert Hammond, who was Ordinary of tiiis County for twenty-eight years previous to his death. Mrs. Hammond was one of the oldest ladies of our County, being at the time of her death, which occurred on last Thursday morning, in the 78th year of her age. She was a very excellent woman, hav* ing been attached to the Methodist faith for more than forty years. She was the oldest member of that Church in Anderson, and bore witness to the sincerity of her profes? sions by a long and upright life, which terminated in a calm and happy death. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. H. F. Chrietsbcrg, in the Meth? odist Church cn last Friday afternoon, and her remains placed to rest beside those of her husband who had gone before. The amount of travel over the South Car? olina Kailroads is considerable larger this summer than it has been herctofore,"and we are gratified to observe a growing tendency on the part of our people to spend their summer vacations in traveling through the mountainous regions of South Carolina, in? stead of frequenting the Northern watering places and summer resorts. This is decided? ly an indication of good sense in the people of South. Carolina, for, by pursuing such a course a large amount of money will be spent in developing our own beautiful scenery which has no superior, instead of draining the resources of our impoverished people to keep up Northern resorts which are of no conceivable advantage to us. At the last regular meeting of Anderson Lodge, No. 290, Knights of Honor, held on Wednesday evening, 20th inst., the follow? ing officers were elected to serve the ensuing term of six months, viz: Dictator, J. J. Baker; Vice Dictator, E. W. Brown; As? sistant Dictator, G. W. Fant; Treasurer, Dr. W. H. Nardin; Financial Reporter, J. R. Williams; Reporter, W. W. Keys; Guide, J. Reese Fant; Guardian, R. F. Divver, Sentinel, R: L. Keys; Past Dic? tator, J. G. Cunningham. This Order, which is an insurance organization, though comparatively in its infancy in this part of the country, is increasing rapidly in mem? bership as well as popularity, and is destined to deprive the insurance companies of many thousands of dollars. BASE BALL. The base ball mania has at last seized upon the inhabitants of Anderson, and we now have two clubs, which practice regularly, and are making considerable progress to? wards proficiency. The Anderson Base Ball Club is composed of excellent material, and have organized with the following officers for the Club: President?Maj. John B. Moore. Vice President?Col. James L. Orr. Secretary and Treasurer?Louis Sharpe. Captain 1st Nine?E. T. Cashine. Captain 2nd Nine?Geo. E. Harrison. This Club has sent on for its outfit, and is practicing in the meantime. The Anderson Junior Base Ball Club has the following officers: President Hewlett K. Sullivan. Vice President, Fred. W. Symmes. Secretary and Treasurer, D. Prue Sloan. Captain 1st Nine, Willie D. Bewley. ? Captain 2nd Nine, C. H. Strickland. This Club is composed of the boys of the town, and they play a capital game consid? ering the practice they have had. The citizens will soon be invited to wit? ness the play by these clubs, and at present the Base Ball campaign for the summer promises to be a vigorous one here. County Correspondence. STOKEVILLE. The farmers are in a stir threshing their small grain. Col. S. J. Emerson was the first to sound the whistle for the occasion in our midst.Growing crops have begun to hold up their heads since the refreshing showers set in. They now promise a fine yield, if it remains seasonable..We omit? ted to mention in our last of the accident to Mr. T. C. Jackson. He was returning from Anderson, and was in five miles of home, when his animal took fright, throwing him? self and Mr. H. J. Wakefield from the bug? gy. The horse ran some distance, upturning the buggy and throwing itself. No serious damage was done.We have not been troubled much with hydrophobia; yet only one bite in our community. RUSTICUS. HONEA PATH. ? ? ? ? - The Honea Path Bible Society will meet at Shady Grove Church on the second Sab? bath and at Mt. Bethel Church on the fourth Sabbath in July.Capt. Gco. M. McDavid has been re-appointed, by Gov. Hampton, Notar}' Public and Deputy Surveyor for Anderson County.The cold Northeaster of Saturday last made heavy clotliing and fires comfortable?the thermometer register? ing 23 degrees below thev highest point reached on Friday.The Railroad Agent is offering tickets to Charleston for $5.50, good to return until July 1st.The grass has a fine start, and the stand is considered perfect.Six farmers paid an aggregate tax (Chamberlain) of $182.00, and estimate their annual fence tax at $238.00. Vote for the fence law.Some slight damage to wheat from the rains, but the crops are reported good. F0BK. Two or three very heavy rains fell during the past week, doing very serious damage ta the growing crops along the water courses. .There has been considerable mad dog excitement in the lower part of the town? ship of late, but the mania has not yet as | sumed an alarming form.Mrs. Bolenian, who had reached a very advanced age, probably four score years, died at the home of her son, Mr. Harrison Bolenian, on the 22nd inst.Married, at the residence of the j bride's father, on Thursday, 21st inst., by the Rev. Coke D. Mann, Mr. William Nor ris, of Westminister to Miss Kate Pickerel, of this township.On last Friday, Mr. John B. Herring, Trial Justice Fant's con? stable, received a very painful wound by the accidental discharge of a pistol which he was loading. The ball took cflect in the palm of his right hand and lodged against the larger bone of the thumb. It was ex? tracted by Dr. J. B. Brown.Prof. B. F. Gantt gave a public examination in his i school on last Friday, 22nd. The recita? tions at once reflected creditably upon the efficiency of the teacher and flatteringly upon the progress attained by the pupils? indeed, the entire exercise was eminently satisfactory to all present; and while all the pupils acquitted themselves handsomely, ! we v/ill cite the Misses Annie Pitts and Julia McCrary, also Johnnie W. Gantt and John P. Ledbettcr as meriting special men? tion. Mr. Gantt has an enviable reputation as a teacher. SANDY SPKINGS. Rev. W. S. Black, of North Carolina, came in a few days ago to spend a week among his friends and relatives. He is en? joying excellent health, apparently. On Sunday, the 24th inst., he filled Sandy Springs pulpit, nnd preuched from the text, "He that winneth souls is wise." It was an able and interesting sermon; which deeply impressed*his audience with the power and inestimable value of the mind or soul. He expects to return on Thursday, the 28th. We wish him a pleasant stay and a safe journey home.Our Sunday School at Sandy Springs is in a flourishing condition ?it numbers forty or more pupils. Mr. Blackmail, the Superintendent, as well as other diligent workers in their Master's cause, should receive due praise for their labors in this commendable work. Every child in the neighborhood ought to be sent to the Sunday School, and there taught of their Creator, instead of being allowed to stroll over the country and rabbit hunt on the Sabbath.Wc are happy to welcome Miss Rebecca Doutbit home from the in? tricate and laborious duties of a College life. She was one of tlse seven who graduated at Williamston Female College a few days ago. Miss Rebecca, as well as the other members of her class, acquitted themselves honorably, and reflected much credit upon their Alma Mater. She is a young lady of refinement and culture, and will undoubtedly add greatly to the moral, intellectual and social interest of our society.Fence! nothing but fence! It has not only filled our mouths, but the atmosphere is eyen preg? nant with it. On the farm, around the family circle, and in the church yard, we hear fence. CTJFFEE CHEEK. Mr. Editor : We have not troubled your columns with any locals from this neigh? borhood up to this time, and would not do so now, hut having been visited on the ISth inst. with a terrific storm of rain and. wind which did immense damage. I do not be? lieve we are a meaner set of people than those in other sections; but it seems that Providence is getting after us sharply. Af? ter the Juue freshet last year, we planted over our bottom lands on this creek, and had a fair prospect of a crop, but the first of August a hail and rain storm swept down upon us, destroying the crop irreparably; and now again this creek has been visited with another terrible storm, which did very great damage, destroying the fruit crop and fruit trees, blowing down the wheat that was cut and that which was not cut, level? ing our oat crop as flat as if a brush had been dragged over it, blowing down nearly all the fence on the writer's plantation, and uprooting three large shade trees in his yard. One of them struck the top of the house, breaking in the roof at one corner; another just missed another corner of the house. The two doors of the house on the .west side was so blockaded by fallen timber that we could not get out on that side until an axman had done a day's work. It blew down a forage hou.se in my horse lot, and scattered it in every direction. The rain poured in torrents, rushing down to the creek, covering the crop in the bottom, which was a solid sheet of water from hill to hill. Corn crops in the bottom land now seem to be destroyed; They are covered with mud and sand. The tract of the storm is about one and a half miles down this creek to the junction of Twenty-Three Mile creek, including the writer's farm, Messrs. J. Owen's, Hunter McMurtry's, It. W. Simpson's, G. B. Whitten's, and the Kelley farm. Hundreds of trees were blown clown, which is a great loss of timber. The rain has continued up to this writing, the 25th inst. The wheat that was cut before the storm was all blown down, and got so wet I fear it will be greatly damaged. But we are thankful we are left alive, and have no mad dogs in this neighborhood; but we have a large number of poor, hun? gry, skeleton dogs that would make a camp meeting howl, if they were all there at one time. ANSWER TO "VARENNES." Mb? Editor : Both sides of any question must be seen before any man can make a wise and just decision, and as "Varenncs" has presented his idea of the effect of the stock law, I propose to give him mine, which is not theory, but practice, for eight years past. Since that time I have kept upon my little farm generally two cows and calves, two hogs, some times three, and two good mules. During this time with ordi? n?r}' scrub stock, I bavo been able to supply at all times a family of six with milk and butter in abundance, and at all times plenty to sell at a remunerative price; and in these eight years experience not one single time have I ever lost a milking by cows not being at home at night, and very little time lost by either myself or hired men in getting the cows in their stalls ready for the milk pail. Again, my cows have never trespassed upon any man's land, and should they by accident get through the fence, my crop was the first to suffer, and hence a good fence. The stock law has enabled me at all times to make a sufficiency of pork to supply my family, the smallest hog killed weighing 34G pounds, the largest 510 pounds; these each year being purchased '(rherever I could buy them. The secret of this is all attributable to fencing my stock, where they could re? ceive regular attention at all times. It is the nature of both cows and hogs to roam, and though they may be turned into a clover field containing fifty or more acres they will sec all sides of it each day. The result of such a course is, that the food that should be applied to the making of butter and milk is consumed in keeping up the system. Much more is this the situation of cows all over the country, where they are allowed to roam at will. Again, the loss of milk and butter in this county, by cows staying out over night, and time spent in search of them by the owntrs, is full enough each year to keep our county fence in good repair, and I am almost isady to say build it, too. "Varennpj" says that it will oppress the poor, some of them have no water on their farms, othen have to go a mile twice each day to leed, md last, it will cause them to maul rails. An instance of oppression is before me. A neighbor (and by the by a "Varenncs") who rents a small farm of one hundred and fifty acres, which is enclosed, and upon winch this season he says he has split, hauled md put up 2,500 rails for the use of twent5 acres of land. Can it be de? nied that this is oppression, to make a poor man do that amount o." work, free of cost to the o wner? (specially jo when I tell you that his stock consists of one cow and calf, one mule anl three or four shoats, and nothing to fed on in June. This law pro? poses to assist this poor man by relieving him, first, of splitting this enormous pile of rails, and secondly, by allowing him to cul? tivate this twenty acre. , scattered here and there, with perfect safety, knowing that not only his but tverybodys stock Is fenced in, and there is hi danger. Next, how nany farmers are there in this county who hive not water on their farms? About two hundred, I suppose, in all. There is only one in this neighborhood, as far as I am informed, aid I have endeavored to in? form myself. The question is, then, should this small haidful of men prevent five thousand men from c; .ying so good a law ? The next hardship proposed is', this poor man walks a lorg distance (one mile) to feed each day. How many poor men arc there who own such possessions? In my eyes he cannot be classed as poor, and should he be a renter there vill be a "general" pasture for all stock. Inside of this, there will be a division fence to separate sheep and goats, and there will be no difficulty in that way. This fence, instead of new, as "Varenncs" suggested, will bt built, of the old rails now in use, of which there are a sufficiency to last for the next ten years, without splitting new ones. But should the old system re? main, probably the land owner might fence all his land, anc the greater portion of these rails be made by the renter for the use of the land. But aside froru all this, are we not in duty bound as farmers to keep pace with the world? Stop tins suicidal plan of felling the timber of our forests, leaving none for succeeding generation.'!, and allowing our? selves to be pulled along in the old rut our fathers traveled, be satisfied with a dozen or more shabby cows and hogs, sticking close to the rail fence for a shelter from the cold winter's rains and winds, instead of taking a pride in knowing that we have a few, the quality of each being satisfactory, and that they are amply provided with food and a warm shelter in all stormy weather.? Further, to provide ourselves with all neces? sary labor-saving implements as fast as our Eurse will warrant. These things will never e done so long as we have a whole territory enclosed, at u heavy tax, for the use of a little. PENDLETON. WLLLIAMSTON COMMENCEMENT. Wili.i.vmstox, S. C, June 21, 1S77. Mr. Editor: The Commencement exer? cises of the Williamston Female College came off on the 20th and 21st insts. There was a very good attendance, and everybody seemed to feel repaid for haying attended. The exercises began with a sermon before the "Young Ladies' Christian Association," by the Rev. Coke Smith, of Greenville, S. C, from 1st Cor. 10:31?"Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of (rod." , On Thursday morning at 11 o'clock we found ourselves in the Chapel again, await? ing the address of Hon. Samuel Dibble, of Orangeburg, S. C, before the Erosophic Society. Prior to introducing the orator, President Lander announced that the young ladies would favor the audience with the following programme : Opening Chorus?"The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof;". Misses Anderson, Bell, Clinkscalcs, Fcatherston, Franks, Hall, Jones, Lake, Watson, A. Worts, Young and others. Prayer. Sanctus. Quartette?"Over the Summer Sea," by Misses S. Brown, Douthit, Dukes and Walker. Solo?" 'Tis Home where the Heart is;" Miss Nina Dukes, George's, S. C. Trio?"Sounds from Home;" Misses Dora Anderson, SallieBrown and N. Walker. Three Part Song?"The Distant Chimes;" Misses M. Brown, S.Brown, Douthit, Dukes, Jefferies and C. Lander. Trio?"Hampton's March;" Misses Gilli land, Hcrndon and Holland. Mr. Dibble was then introduced to the audience, and after wandering off into the land of flowers in making his opening re? marks, stated as his subject, "Queen Vashti," and portrayed the miseries to which she was subjected as attributable to her drunken husband. After Mr. Dibble's address was finished, President Lander, who is a great temper? ance man, took advantagc-of the occasion and announced a temperance song, "March? ing on to Victory," by Misses Dukes, C. Lander and others. Quartette?"Coaxing Polka;" Misses Dora Anderson, Kathleen Lander, Alice and Emma Werts. Next came the "Song of the Graduating Class," which was splendidly rendered by the following seven graduates: Misses Janie Anderson, Mary Brown, Sallic Brown, Re? becca Douthit, Nina Dukes, Sue Kirkland and Mamie Pelham. Mr. Lander then de? livered a very touching Baccalaureate ad? dress, and presented diplomas to the gradu? ates, after which the benediction was pro? nounced. At 8i o'clock on Thursday evening, the Society of Alumna; was address by the Rev. Prof. Duncan', of Wofford College. Subject ?"Education." To have an idea of the worth of his address, one would have to have heard the whole of it. There was nothing superfluous, nor was there anything that could be criticised in it. It would do Prof. Duncan an injury to try to give an analysis. With this closed the exercises, and every one seamed to feel fully repaid for having attended. One will observe on look? ing over the programme, that there was no effort at display, but the whole of the exer? cises servo as a mirror which reflects the worth and merit of the institution; and the taste and ability of the faculty under whose management the College is conducted. Of the seven graduates our little town boasts of two of the fairest. The young ladies, by a unanimous vote, gave Mr. W. W. Brown the honor of acting Chief Marshal, and Messrs. Mid. Princo and and Frank Darby Assistant Marshal. Our little town has resumed its hitherto quiet monotony, only "a little more so" since the departure of the young ladies. ODDEIS. Scribskr for July opens with nn illustrnted paper on "Bow-Shooting," by Maurice Thompson, who deals with his subject not in an archaeological. but in a practical vein. Mr. Thompson is accus? tomed to shoot hit game with the bow, and he gives his reason for preferring it to the shot-gun. There arc anecdotes of some of his archery trips, chiefly in Florida and Northwestern Indiana, and explicit directions arc given as to the manufacture of the implements, with suggestions about their use for sport or pleasure. "The Tattle of Bunkerloo," a remarkable engagement not hitherto reported, is described by William Henry Bishop, with illustra? tions of the opening of the battle, and sketches of the participants, amotig whom were Lord Nelson, Benedict Arnold, Judai Maccabeus, "The Veiled Prophet of Khorassan," and the "Gallant Six Hun? dred." A special feature of the number is a story of twentv-nvc pages by tho Russian novelist, Tour guenefT, entitled 'The Nobleman of the Steppe," in which a distinguished part is played by a Cossack horse, upon whose Identity the interest hinges. Mi. George Inness, jr, who has drawn two pictures for this story, is a new acquisition to tho ranks of illustrators. "Richmond since the War," is the title of an illustrated paper by R. W. Wright, in which the pluck and prosperity of the Virginia metropolis are spoken of with enthusiasm. Miss Jane Stuart has a paper of "Anecdotes" of her father, Gilbert Stuart, toe painter, which is said to be much more interesting than her former article which attracted so much attention. Among the contributors of poetry are Philip Bourke Marston, "H. H.," Paul Ii. Haync, R. R. Bowkcr, and Edgar Fawcctt. In the Editorial Department, Dr. Hol? land discusses "The Future of American Politics," "The New Temperance Movement," and "The Pau? per Poison." "The Old Cabinot" writes of "Spring," "Allston's Dead Man," "The Truth Teller," "Gam brinus," "Conscientious Work," "Stago Struck," "The Barber," "A Personal Resemblance," and "Love ard Death," the last a poem.. The editors expect that "The Midsummer Holiday (August) Number" will surpass tho attractions which made its predecessor of lust year such a success. ?The Sure Witness." "The nineteenth century is the age of novels," remarks a literary historian?he mightrhave added with equal truth, "and novel impositions." Studied politeness has been passed off' on us for native refinement, the forms of devotion for its essence, and speculation for science, until we look askance at every new person or thing, and to an assertion of merit, invariably exclaim, "Prove it!" In brief, Satan has made him? self so omnipresent, that we look for his cloven foot everywhere?even in a bottle of medicine. Imagine a lady, having- a com? plexion so sallow that you would deny her claims to the Caucasian type if her features did not conform to it, purchasing her first 'bottle of the Golden Medical Discovery. The one dollar is paid in the very identical manner in which Mr. Taylor might be ex? pected to purchase a lottery ticket after his experience with "No. 104,103," with this difference, his doubt would be the result of personal experience, while hers would be founded on what a certain practitioner )who has been a whole year trying to correct her refractory liver) has said concerning it. At home, she examines the bottle half suspi? ciously, tastes of its contents carefully, takes the prescribed dose more carefully, and then proceeds to watch the result with as much anxiety as a practitioner would count the pulse-beats of a dying man. She takes an? other close, and another, and shows the bot? tle to her friends, telling them she "feels better." Her skin loses its bilious tint, her eyes regain their lustre, her accustomed en? ergy returns, and tho firct that she purcha? ses another bottle is a sure witness that she has found the Golden Medical Discovery to be a reliable remedy for the disease indica? ted. The lady wisely resolves that in the future her estimate of any medicine will be based upon a personal knowledge of its effects, and not upon what some prac? titioner (who always makes long bills rhyme with pills) may say of it. Dr. Pierce is in receipt of letters from hundreds of the largest wholesale and retail druggists in the United States stating that at the present time there is a greater demand for the Gol? den Medical Discovery and Purgative Pel? lets than ever before. In affections of the liver and blood they are unsurpassed. DESTROYED BY WORMS.?Can we imagine a more horrible V *.th : Gnawing? gnawing?gnawing nigh, and day until the vitals arc oaten away. Shriner's Indian Vermifuge will destroy and eject those dis? gusting creatures from the intestines. Ask for Shriner's Indian Vermifuge. HYMENEAL.

C. |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 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. ZcIPs Ainmouiatcu 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 WOBLD. NOTHING conduces more to GOOD HEALTH than PURE WATER. Such is fur _TAI nished by the DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP, Manufactured by J. C. Nichols* it 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 stouc, 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 givei 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 in Anderson and adjoining Counties, together with the Counties of Hart, Elbcrt, Wilkes and Oglcthorpc in Georgia, ALONZO L. WELCH, Anderson, S. C.

Its extensive use has already proven the cause of great and distressing injury. SIMMONS' HEPATIC COM? POUND contains not a particle of Mercury, and.can be taken at all times with perfect safety. - Donbt.?There are many doubters who will not believe that chemical science has discovered in Nature's Herb Laboratory a remedy for nine-tenths of man's afflictions; yet such is the plain truth. Chemistry is the wisdom of this century. SIMMONS' HEPATIC COMPOUND, the noble science of chemistry has wrought wonders. It has made it the good Samaritan, who does not simply heal one but millions. Gently does DR. SIMMONS' HEPAT? IC COMPOUND relieve the constipated bowels; at the same time so thoroughly toning their inner membrane and restoring their mechanical action, it seems as it they had been reorganized on an improved plan. Yet the result is solely due to nature, rein? forced and sustained by the best vegetable alterative and tonic that ever passed the lips of the sick and suffering.
