LOCAL MATTERS. ?' Mi .,;r , j g TO ADVERTISERS. The Anderson Intellioenceb has the largest circulation, of any country paper published in the State, and has more than three times the circulation of any other pa? per in Anderson County. We print and circulate regularly 1776 papers. Our list in the County has increased instead of dimin? ished, and we hope to receive a still greater increase during the coming fall. We are willing at any time to verify the above by an inspection of our subscription book, or our paper bills ; or when desired, wo will furnish advertisers with an affidavit of the correctness of our statement as to the circu? lation of the Intelligences.. ? MIIIMII III.I.II HUMUM.I HI II II . -BRIEF MENTION. Mr. and/Mra. W. F. Baker, of Atlanta, Ga., are in Anderson visiting Dr. P. A. Wil ihite, the father of Mrs. Baker. John S.Allen, Esq., made a narrow es ?cape from injury while riding through the ?square last Friday evening by his horse stabling an dialling upon him. He, how? ever, extricated himself so dexterously as .to escape unhurt. Mr. James M. Latimer and Mr. Baker, of Lowndesville, were in town on Tuesday, looking after the Augusta Railroad move? ment They find the people of Anderson an fuji accord with them upon this impor? tant question. Mr.. Newton A. McCully has been elected ?cotton weigher for the town of Anderson lfor the coining year. He was one of the i public weighers for last year, and as such : gave entire satisfaction to both buyers and sellers. He will enter upon the duties of his office at once. ? -? . - ... The Pendleton Base Ball Club is to play the "Resolute Club" of Greenville a match gams at Pendleton to-day or to-morrow. We are hallooing for the Pendleton boys in this game, and hope they will be able to take the brag' over championship out of their Greenville adversaries. Mr. W. A. Dickson, our efficient and punctual Fork correspondent, whose dot tings have been read with much interest by our subscribers, has given np the duties of the school room and removed to Ninety Six, where he will follow mercantile pur? suits in the store of Mr. J. P. Phillips, for? mal of'.tins County. We wish Mr. Dick aoa Brauch success in life. A little son of Mr. John J. Mattison, who Hives near Calhoun in this County, was shot iin the thigh by a pistol discharged in the ?hands of a colored boy last Sunday morn :ing. The shooting was accidental, and was ithe result of carelessness on the part of the ?boy who had the pistol. Dr. E. M. Brown, ?of Belton, was called in and extracted the ball. It is thought tobe only a flesh wound, :and though painful it is hoped it will not Iprove a serious or permanent injury. Our young friend, Wm. M. Wilcox, who has been connected with the furniture busi? ness as a Clerk in the furniture ware-rooms of Mr. G. F. Tolly, of this place, for a num iber of years, has removed to Ninety Six, "where he will shortly open a furniture store ?on his own account Mr. Wilcox is a thor? ough-going and energetic young man of good business qualifications, and is in every way a- reliable-gentleman, who deserves to vacated in his new business venture. A petition has been received from a. num? ber of persons in Martin township asking the County Commissioners to order a new election upon the fence question in that township. If our friends who oppose the change in that township will read the law, ithey will see that it does not authorize a a new election in townships which adopt the ?change, end hence the Commissioners can not comply with their request. We would call attention to the advertise? ment of Messrs. Wilkins, Williams & Co., ?of Greenville, which appears elsewhere. These gentlemen are the most extensive dealers in hardware and agricultural imple? ments in upper South Carolina. Not only will the trading public find it to their ad? vantage to give them a call while in Green? ville, but -the merchants through our County can have their orders as advan? tageously fiHetTat this house as they can in the Northern cities*? e - - *rxw*? ' ??? .-? ? ? Although writing about Base Ball Clubs seems to be as dangerous as lighting matches in a powder magazine, we will venture to suggest to "that citizen of Great Britain" that he virtually reiterates our article about the composition of the Pendleton club. We will stand corrected as to the gentleman from Savannah, and in turn correct the Great* Britain man about the gentleman from Charlottesville. Mr. Massey, from Chaflottesville, is only on a visit to Pendle? ton and has never been there before. Now, we are willing to quit and call it even. Mrs. Margaret Cox, wife of the late Capt. Wm. Cox, died at the residence of her son, Maj. Geo. W. Cox, on last Saturday morn? ing, from the effects of the paralytic stroke of which we spoke last week. Mrs. Cox was over seventy years of age, and had been a devoted Christian and useful woman for many years. The funeral services were performed in the Belton Baptist church by Rev. W. E. Walters on test Sunday, in the presence of a very large audience of relatives and friends of the deceased. The occasion was very solemn and impressive. A number of protracted meetings have been in progress in the Baptist Churches of Anderson during the past week. At Hope well Rev. E. R. Cars well, the pastor, bap? tised fifty-two persons on Sunday at the close of a very enthusiastic meeting. On the same day Rev. W. E. Walters baptised forty-seven persons at First Creek, and closed a very interesting meeting there. Rev. J. R. Earle has been conducting a meeting at Salem Church, and at last ac? counts about twelve persons had joined the Church there. Rev. J. K. Mendenhall has commenced a meeting at Townvllle, but we have heard nothing as to' its progress. The school of Miss Mollie Holland, in Broadaway township, enjoyed a picnic hol? iday on last Friday, which was a very pleasant affair, participated in alike by the patrons and pupils of the school. Appro? priate and interesting speeches were made by Col. E. M. Rucker and Mr. M. E. Mitch? ell in the morning, after which the tempt? ing viands of a sumptuous and abundant dinner were disposed of. The afternoon was spent in social pleasures, and late in the day all left, having enjoyed themselves very much, and carrying with them good opin? ions of the ability of Muss Holland as a teacher, and of the progress her pupils have been making. We regret to announce the death of Mrs. John A. Emerson, which occurred at the residence of her husband in this County on last Thursday evening, after a short illness. Mrs. Emerson was highly respected and beloved by her neighbors and numerous acquaintances for the many noble Christian virttiesshfe possessed and illustrated in her daily life. Her untimely death, which be? reaves a devoted husband and three little children, will be felt outside of the stricken family, forit has removed a useful member of society who was highly appreciated in life, and will be long mourned by those she has left behind. Her remains were interred in .Ebenezer Chnrchyard on Friday, 'ajjer solemn services, attended by a large congre? gation of sorrowing relatives and friends. There is to be a meeting of the citizens of Hopewell township, at Hopewell Baptist Church, on next Friday at 2 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of considering the means of establishing ? school of high grade in some suitable portion of the township. Several gentlemen have expressed their willingness to subscribe one hundred dollars each to? wards the building, and it is intended to raise about $1,000 for the building, and to secure the services of thoroughly compe? tent teachers. This is a move in the right direction, and we hope-the design will be accomplished. Every township in the County should have a high .school. . .It would contribute greatly to the advance? ment of education, and thereby to the so? cial and business prosperity of our County. COUHTY TREASURER. Mr. Samuel E. Moore, County Treasurer, requests us to announce that hereafter he will be in Anderson on every Saturday, for the purpose of attending to the payment of such claims as may come properly attest? ed for payment All persons having busi? ness with the County Treasurer will do well to notice this announcement, and remember to come to Anderson on Saturdays when they wish to see the Treasurer. BALE OF HEW COTTON. On Tuesday the 4th inst., Mr. Joseph A. j Burgess, of the Fork Township, sold to Messrs. MoCully & Taylor, at this place, the first bale of new cotton brought to market above Columbia this year. It classed as middling, and sold for 10} cents per pound. Mr. Burgess has another bale ready for the gin, and many more waiting to be picked. He used "Georgia Grange" guano, purchased of Messrs. McCully & Taylor, and is very highly pleased with its results. ?qaOBATION HEETZH6. We had a call on Wednesday morning from Mr. Til man R. Gain es, who is traveling in the interest of his immigration agency, and told us that he would deliver a lecture in the Court House at 7} o'clock p. m. on that day upon the subject of immigration. Mr. Gain es represents his agency as having flattering prospects, and tells of good work already done in the cause. He is sending out none bot men with capital, and hence the work he accomplishes is a permanent benefit to the country. We hope.he will receive abundant encouragement from our people, and that he will be able to land many thrifty immigrants into this County. TEOSS.FBAuDTTLZHT VOTERS. Nothing has as yet been done towards bringing the perjured voters in the late Town election to justice. The Circuit Court meets on Monday week, and the committee appointed by the Democratic' Club should proceed to take out warrants for every one of them forthwith. The mere fact that we have secured the seating of the rightfully elected Intendant is not enough to satisfy our people, we believe. They want the criminals who tried to steal this office from our people by their fraudulent votes pun? ished, to prevent a repetition of the crime, and to warn others against trying it in the future. "We h?be the committee will pro? ceed to business at once, and that their efforts will forever hereafter rid Anderson of the nuisance of fraudulent elections. SEAL ESTATE AGENCY. We would ask the attention of the land owners of our County to the card of Messrs. Simpson, Orr & Co., which appears in this issue. This firm, consisting of Messrs. R. W. Simpson, James L. Orr and C. J. Has call, have for some time past been prosecut? ing the business of real estate agents with considerable success, but for lack of the co? operation of persons having land for sale, they have been able to do very little in the way of securing immigration. If the peo? ple-of. this County who have land for sale would put it into the hands of these gentle? men, tb<*y would not only stand a better chance jof selling it, but would also enable them to offer greater inducements to per? sons from a distance, who may desire to buy property in our midst. While it is a business enterprise on the part of these gen? tlemen, it is also a movement of public im? portance, and deserves >.ae hearty co-opera? tion of our people. BASE BALL HATCK. The first return game was played between the Anderson and Pendl^ton Base Ball Clubs on the grounds of the former Club on last Friday afternoon, beginning at 4 o'clock and lasting over two and a half hours. The game was only interesting from the fact that it was the second in a series for cham? pionship, as the Anderson boys played with less life than we have ever seen them, which was due to the fact, no doubt, that they were more interested in watching the beau? tiful ladies of Pendleton and Anderson, who had assembled upon the grounds, than they were in playing base ball. It may be also that they wish to return the courtesy of al? lowing their visitors to be the victors, but it is certain that they did not near come up to their usual standard, and when the score | was announced it stood as follows: InningB.|1|2|8|4|S16|7|8| 9!|Total Pendleton.. 3 Anderson._ I 0 36 23 Pendleton's majority.?...13 8C0BE OF PLAYERS.

Tribble as um? pire gave universal satisfaction, and his im? partiality has elicited much praise for his fairness from all parties. Mr. T. S. Cray ton, and J. A. Brock, of this place kept the score. The Clubs have to play each other one more game for the championship, and we still predict victory for the Anderson boys. The incidents of the day wert! appropri ately ended by an evening party at the resi? dence of Maj. B. F. Whitner, where the strife of the day was forgotten, and the boys of Pendleton and Anderson joined in the pleasure of the social scene, which the pres? ence of Pendleton and Anderson ladies con? tributed to make bright and lovely. Elegant Hair is woman's crowning beau? ty. When it fades, she fades as well. While it is kept bright, her personal attractions are .still maintained. By preserving the hair fresh and vigorous a youthful appearance is continued through many years. Those who grieve over their fading hair turning gray too early, should know that Ayer's Hair Vigor prevents it, and restores gray or faded hair to its natural color.

There are a number of criminal cases, embracing almost every crime known to our law, from murder down to~assault and battery, which will come up for trial; and also a large number of civil cases, so'that the term of the Court will probably last the two weeks allotted to it by law. Judge Northrop, of the Seventh Circuit, will pre? side, and our people will have the opportu? nity of receiving justice at'his hands for the first time. The following is a list of the petit jury drawn to iserve during the coming term of the Court: B. F. Dickson, Bowie MoLees, F. Clink scales, Elias McGee, David Crosby, B. Frank Crayton, Win. M.

The tramp advertised under "pass him around," in last week's Intelligencer, paid this place a visit on Wednesday evening of last week and put up with Mr. J. J. Shirley. He made an effort to get work, but the In? telligencer coming on Thursday morning he did not succeed. Mr. Shirley had the kindness to show him the article, and at the same time requested him to settle and go. He didn't settle, but went.Mr. Hen? ry S.

Last Sunday was a day at Hopewell to be marked with a monument of white stone. On that day the services of a two weeks' meeting closed in the Baptist Church. The entire services were conducted by the pas? tor, Rev. E. R. Carswell, jr. Early in the morning people began to collect from all directions, and by 10 o'clock several hun? dred had encircled the baptismal pool to witness the rite of baptism as administered by this denomination of Chistians. The candidates, numbering fifty-two, assembled in the Church, and at the appointed hour moved in procession to the pool. A short preliminary service was held, after which, and in less than twenty-one minutes, the above number had been baptised. Of this number we observed that thirty-three were gentlemen and nineteen were ladies. Al? most every stage of life, from twelve to three score and ten years, was represented. We noticed a man with frosted locks who offer? ed his wife, then all his children of mature age, and then submitted to the rite himself. Husbands and wives, in several instances, passed down together into this symbolic death. The first and last of the candidates baptised were accidentally the two oldest men of the number. The last was a grand? father, who had been preceeded by a wife and nine of ten children in coming out from the world. This service ending, the congre? gation assembled before the stand in the church yard. Tue .iewly baptised members were seated in semi-circular form in front of the preacher. The burden of the sermon was specially directed to them, and abound- | ed in advice and warnings, prompted by these inspired words: "Because I have you in my heart." Another service was held at night, which exceeded any of the previous in solemnity and earnestness. Thus ended the meeting. Sixty-five were added to the Church, and twelve or more hopeful con? versions, which promised to unite with this and other Churches as soon as opportunity may allow, with scores of seekers, are only a part of the results of this revival occasion. .An Educational Association is in pro? cess of formation looking to the erection of a High School in our midst. Capt. B. 0. Martin is the President and J. R. Guyton is Secretary. A committee was appointed to look out a suitable location, and are re? quested to report to an adjourned meeting on Friday next 2 p. m. It is hoped that all interested in the matter will be present.

Mr. Editor : Now that a decision and an important era has been reached by Anderson County on the fence question, would it not be the part of wisdom arid good faith to? wards other portions of the County for the objecting townships to yield cheerfully their, objections to the law, and unite their inter? ests with the large majority , of the town? ships on the fence as on all other questions affecting us all alike as citizens of Anderson County ? The opposition generally Was not so much to the'general principles involved as to the details of the proposed law. As it is certain that the necessary amendments will be promptly made by the next Legisla? ture, and as it is clearly the ascertained wish of a large majority of the townships to make the proposed change in our fence laws, and as the proposed change can be made at much less expense by fencing'in the whole County than a fraction of the same, let petitions go up from the objecting townships to the Legislature asking an amendment to the law. authorizing the County Commissioners to proceed at once to fence in the whole County. By so doing we prove to our fellow-citizens in other portions of the County our desire and wish for the best interests of the County, not? withstanding our difference of opinion as to the best plan for advancing those inter? ests. We are rather encouraged to make this public suggestion because in conference with James Mnllikin, Esq., of Garvin township, who strenuously 'opposed the proposed fence law on the township plan*,' as did many others,' hut was always willing to go into it by the County. This old and patriotic gentleman proposes to head a peti? tion of the kind proposed, and use all his influence to procure signatures in his town? ship. Le? the other townships do likewise, and Anderson County will still be the ban-: ner County of the-State, on the fence ques? tion as well as all other questions. BRUSHY CREEK. Pendleton, S. C, Sept. 1, 1877. Editor Anderson Intelligencer: Sir?Your reporter of the game of base I ball played here on the JZ4th ult, between.! the Anderson anil Pen die ton Base Ball Clubs, evidently intended to inform your numerous readers of the birth places and residences of the inhabitants oi Pendleton I Village, and not of the Pendleton Base Ball \ Club. The "citizen of Great Britain," to whom he refers, has resided in America twenty years?nine of them in Pendleton?and did not play on that occasion. The "gentleman from Charlottes vi He" attends college there, but is a resident of Pendleton, and has been one the greater part of his life. The "gen? tleman from Charleston" was born in Pen? dleton, resides here, and was a member of the Club before the challenge from your ] "senior nine" was received. The "gentle-: man from Columbia" was born in Pendle? ton, and eight of the few years he iias seen were passed amid the hills and hollows of I old Pendleton. Lastly, in regard to the [ "gentleman from Savannah," the only way he contributed to the close result ofthat game was by holding an umbrella over the heads of the scorers, for which service I hope the said scorers are truly thankful. He was not a member of the Club, and did 7io? play that day. Valuable as his services were, subsequent events have proved that the Pendleton Nine could dispense with them. Now, Mr. Editor, it is not surpris? ing that your reporter should perform his task in such an unsatisfactory manner, as at times, there is no doubLbe found it very difficult, indeed, to realize that the diminu? tive Nine of the Pendleton Club could play [ so close a game with the representatives of Anderson manhood, but about that time [ "coming events were casting their shadows before." Respectfully, That Citizen of Great Britain. HYMENEAL. MARRIED, at Sandy Springs, on the 2d, of September insL, by Rev. J. Attaway, Mr. JAMES G. RILEY and Miss SALLIE A., daughter of Mr, T. L.

June 14,1877 48 Ayer's For restoring Gray Hair to its natural Vitality and Color. A dressing which is at once agree? able, healthy, and effectual for preserv? ing the hair. \Fadedorgray \ha\r is soon restored to its original color, with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can re? store the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But snch as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty, sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious sub? stances which make some prepara? tions dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, . nothing else can be found so desir? able. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does, not soil white cam? bric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. PREPARED BT Dr. J. C.
