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..

. -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:

The decisions of Mr. J. L. 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. It is a clear and
healthful preparation, containing neither
oil, dye, nor anything deleterious, and im?
parts to the scalp what is most needed?a
sense of pleasant and delightful freedom
from scurf or dandruff.?New Berne (N. C.)

CIRCUIT COURT.
The fall term of the Circuit Court for this
County will begin on Monday, the 17th
inst. 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:

HONEA PATH.
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. Long comes in with a corn tassel on
which there is an ear of corn six inches
long.The dry, hot weather of the past
three weeks has injured seriously the cotton
and corn in this section. All the late forms
on cotton have dropped off, and the planters
report that the July forms will be the only
crop to mature.Late corn will be almost
an entire failure.Rev. W. A. Clarki of
the M. E. Church, will, we understand,
commence a protracted meeting on Satur?
day next.J. J. Shirley, Esq., wanting
more elbow room, is building his house
larger, and, when finished, will, of course,
give a home warming.
HOPEWELL.
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.

THE FENCE QUESTION.
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.

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.
