THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL. MATTERS. TO ADVERTISERS. The Anderson Intelligences 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, we will furnish advertisers with an affidavit of the Correctness of our statement as to the circu? lation of the Intelligences. BRIEF XEXTIOX. We are indebted to Mr. J. G. Riley for a basket of delicious late peaches. Cotton is coming- in slowly, and mid dlings command from 9$ to 10 cents. Mr. Charles M. McPhail, formerly of Sandy Springs, but at present of Greenville, S. C, was at the Camp Meeting last Sunday. See the advertisement of Barnard's Pho? tograph Gallery. When you are in Charles? ton it is the place to have your picture taken. Mr. R. Lewis Moorhead, who is with the live firm of 81oan, Lee & Taylor, at Green? ville, S. Cm was at Sandy Springs on last Sabbath. Mr. L. P. Smith returned on last Saturday from the North, whither he had been pur? chasing an extensive stock of mil and win? ter goods. The annual meeting at Providence Camp Ground will begin on next Thursday, the 27th inst., and continue so as to embrace the following Sabbath. Mr. John Catlett and family have re? turned home from an extensive trip through the mountains of South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. Rev. W. H. Strickland, of Anderson, will preach at New Prospect Baptist Church on next Sabbath afternoon at 4 o'c'ock. A large congregation is expected to be present. Judge T. H. Cooke, Gen. 8. McGowan and Col. Thomas Thompson are among those visiting the present term of the Cir? cuit Court in addition to Judge Northrop and Solicitor Cothran. The railroad excursion from Greenville to Sandy Springs on last Sunday was a decided financial success. The train was so crowded that it did not stop at Anderson, but had to return to get the numerous passengers from this depot. We would direct attention to the notice of Messrs. Simpson, Reid <fc Co. These gentlemen will continue the drug business at the old stand of Simpson & Sadler, where the public will continue to receive polite at? tention, and find reliable medicines. The Waverly House at Anderson, under the management of Mr. Keese and Mrs. Cochran, is one of the best hotels in the up-country. The traveling public speak in the highest terms of the manner in which they are entertained. Sloan, Lee & Taylor always keep large stocks of Bacon, Flour, Molasses, Syrups, Salt, and a full line of goods at lowest living prices. Ton can save money by calling on them at their new store in Greenville, where Mr. R. L. Mookhkad will be happy to wait upon you. 10?2 The attention of the pnblic of Anderson and surrounding Counties is respectfully invited to the advertisement of Mr. 0. Geisberg, agent, at whose store they will find goods as cheap as they can be bought in any neighboring town. Call and see for yourselves. We are requested to announce that Rev. Father Augustine F. Schmitz will conduct the services of his church for the benefit of the Catholics of Anderson and vicinity, on next Sabbath morning at 11 o'clock a. m., in the Masonic Hall. A full attendance of the Catholic congregation is desired. We would call attention to the advertise? ment of Messrs. Cely <fc Bro., which ap . pears elsewhere. When in Greenville do not fail to visit their store, and if you desire to camp while there, you will find them to have a spacious wagon-yard. Mr. Charles M. McPhail, of this County, is with tbim. The Anderson Cornet Band is now one of the best in the State. Our citizens enjoy frequent serenades by it from the top of Granite Row, where its members assemble occasionally at night to play for the town. Their music is enjoyed, and their proficien? cy appreciated by large numbers of our citizens. The citizens of Union Grove neighborhood will hold a meeting on Saturday night, the 29th inst., at early candle light, for the pur? pose of considering the propriety of estab? lishing an academy for higher education. Messrs. M. N. Mitchell, J. M. Hamlin and others have been invited to deliver addres? ses, and an interesting evening is expected. Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, the widow of the late Rev. George Smith, of Longwood, Fayette County, Indiana, who removed from this County about forty years ago with her husband, is now on a visit to her many relatives in this section. She was born and reared in Anderson County, and is now in her 83rd year. We understand she intends spending the winter with her relatives, who are more than delighted to have her with them. We would call attention to the ginning notice published elsewhere by Mr. A. H. Osborne. He will continue to conduct this business at his old stand in Anderson, which has already become so widely known and justly popular. If you want your cot? ton ginned quickly, cheaply and nicely carry it to his gin. You will then have it already at Anderson, where you will find as good a cotton market as there is this side of Charleston. We have received the fourth number of Vieles Floral Guide for 1877. It is up to the usual standard of this very excellent jour? nal on floriculture. It also contains the gratifying announcement that, beginning with January 1878, it will be issued month? ly, at $1.25 per year, instead of quarterly, as heretofore. It contains very many valua? ble hints on the cultivation of vegetable and flower gardens, besides a great deal of information about seeds and plants. It is published by James Vick, seedsman and florist, Rochester, N. Y. A class in Calisthenics will be formed on Friday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. J. R. Cochran. This class will meet at 4 o'clock on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri? days. Terms, $1.00 per month, in advance. Also, a class in Kindergarten on Saturday afternoon at the "Southern Home School," for the benefit of children who are attend? ing other schools. Terms, $1.40 per month in advance, three lessons per week. It is needless for us to attempt to present the su? perior advantages of this system, which so beautifully and rapidly develops the me? chanical, mathematical, poetical and musi? cal genius of the children thus instruc? ted. TEE CISC?XT COURT. The fall term of the Court of General Sessions convened at Anderson Court House on last Monday morning at 10 o'clock a. m., his Honor Judge L. C. Northrop, of the Seventh Circuit, presiding, and Col. J. S. Cothran, the able and efficient Solicitor of this Circuit, representing the State. The grand jury of the past two terms serves during this term also, and the petit juries were organized by the appointment of Mr. Wm. M. Archer as foreman of Jury No. 1, and Col. J. D. King as foreman of Jury No. 2. After the organization of the juries, his Honor delivered an excellent and able charge to the grand jury, of which the fol? lowing is an imperfect synopsis: It is an immemorial custom, and, indeed, is the duty of the Court, as well as its pleas? ure, at the beginning of the term of a Court of General Sessions, to advise with the grand juries and give them such instruc? tion in reference to their important duties as it may deem necessary or appropriate. The Court is advised, however, that your panel will not need so full and minute in? struction as is sometimes given, because you have already had the instruction of two of my distinguished brothers of the bench, and your previous experience in the discharge of your official duties has been such as to render an enlargement upon them by the Court at this time unnecessary. It is well, however, to impress upon you the high responsibility which rests upon your office. The grand jury is the corner stone upon which the whole fabric of public jus? tice rests. It is the ear and at the same time the arm of the Court. It is your province to advise the Court as to what may be necessary or important to the ad? vancement of public justice in this County. It is unnecessary to go into any extended detail of the history or organization of the grand jury. For the matters in hand it makes no difference as to how it has come down to us. It is a part of our system of criminal jurisprudence, and the oath which you have taken is the best synopsis of the duties you are expected to perform. The Judge here dissected the oath of grand jurors, and commented upon the obliga? tions it imposes. He continued: You are drawn from the people because they know the wants of the public, and can present i the interests of all portions of their County. This presentment is not expected to be long and elaborate, but briefly stated, and as quickly made out as? possible. You should see that economy is preserved in all the departments of the public service. And just here remember that you are sworn to secrecy in the investigation of all matters. This is the core and heart of your oath, and the law draws a charm circle around the Grand Jury room. Nothing goes into that room without the consent of the Grand Jury, and when anything is once obtained by them it cannot go ont. The object of this is to remove undue influence from your panel, and to keep your room quiet from the storm of public passions which may rage outside. Therefore you are bound to keep secret all that transpires in your in? vestigations. The books and deliberations of your body are sacred. It is sometimes said that the walls have ears, and some? times your deliberations get out, but the Court desires to impress upon you the obli? gation to keep secret everything that tran? spires in your room. You should have no prejudice or favoritism. Be as far from the control of human nature in the discharge of your duty as possible. Your position is too high and responsible to allow yourselves to be influenced by the ordinary motives which control men in the transaction of their daily business. The Judge here gave the jury special instruction upon a number of lead? ing crimes, after which he called attention to the expense of our courts, telling them that the trial of ordinary criminal cases cost the County from fifty to seventy-five dollars, and hence the Grand Jury may ex? ercise their discretion in finding bills. If trivial matters are presented, you may throw them out if you see proper. Examine care? fully into your public offices and see how their duties are performed. It is the fortune of this County to have good officers, but it is proper that you should examine them. Look into the conduct of your County Com? missioners. This-is the most important office in the gift of a County, for this single Board now has the charge of matters which were formerly committed to several Boards. They hold the purse strings of your County^ and not a dollar can be paid out without their order. You will also examine into the condition of your roads and bridges. The maintenance of good roads is one of the highest evidences of civilization, and is of the utmost importance to the public wel? fare. More money is lost to the poor people of a country by bad roads and the conse? quent loss of time and breakage of convey? ances than in any other way. It is impos? sible to calculate the loss from bad roads. In conclusion, gentlemen, you will regulate your own hours of business. If you can conclude your labors in one day do so, but take as much time as is necessary to proper? ly discharge your duties if it requires a week. The Court relies upon your assistance and is powerless without you. The Judge then announced that the hours of the Court's sit? ting would be from 9 a. m. to 1 p. m., and from 3 p. m. to dark. The business of the Court was then pro? ceeded with, and the Grand Jury found the following true bills: The State vs. Ransom Blackman. Assault and battery with intent to kill. The defen? dant was represented by Messrs. McGowan, Moore and Allen, and was convicted of as? sault and battery. The State vs. Joel B. Newton. Rape and assault and battery with intent to commit a rape. The prisoner was bailed in the sum of $1,000 for his appearance at the January term of Court. The State vs. Scott Davis. Murder. De? fended by Messrs. Moore and Allen and ac? quitted. The State vs. Wm. E. Long. Selling property under a lien. The State vs. Robert Crow. Assault and battery with intent to kill. The Grand Jury found no bill in the fol? lowing cases: The State ys. Jack Hampton, et. at. Riot and assault and battery. The State vs. Wm. Holcomb. Malicious injury to house. I The case of the State vs. Orr Latimer, new trial for burglary, was defended by Messrs. Wilkes and Harrison, and the defendant was convicted. The State vs. Wm. B. Strickland, Benj. Strickland and Aimer Strickland, for burg? lary, grand larceny and receiving stolen i goods, is now being tried. There is a large crowd present, and much interest is mani? fested in it. Solicitor Cothran represents the State, and Messrs. McGowan, Moore and Allen, Whitner and Breazeale the defen? dants. The Solicitor and Judge Northrop have exhibited commendable zeal in the dispatch of the public business, and it is thought the criminal business will be completed to-day. Important to Farmern. Sloan, Lee & Taylor, at the new Grocery in Greenville, will sell Arrow Ties (no splices) at $2.62} per bundle, and in lots at lower figures. Bagging at low prices. Cot? ton bought at best market prices. 10?2 Mothers, save your children from torture and death by using Shriner's Indian Vermi? fuge. It will destroy and expel worms of every kind if used according to the direc? tions, SERENADE. * On last Monday night a number of the citizens of Anderson, accompanied by the Anderson Cornet Band, repaired to the Waverly House for the purpose of attesting their gratification at the presence of Judge L. C. Northrop and Solicitor Cothran in our midst. After the rendition of two beauti? ful tunes of music, Judge Northrop was loudly called for, and responded from the hotel balcony in a short but eloquent and appropriate address, thanking the company for their melodious compliment, which, he said, was no doubt paid to the official posi? tion he occupied rather than to him person? ally. He regretted that he could not re? spond to this compliment in such manner as he would like to, but he was not in the habit of making set speeches, and besides, during the most of the previous night he had been riding upon a rail in order to reach his post of duty in the court room; but, he said that if he had been riding ten nights and sleep had to be kept from his eyes by propping his eyelids open with a prong, he could not forego this opportunity of expressing his high appreciation of the noble old County of Anderson, and her peo? ple. He knew the history of this County, and would never forget the zeal with which her citizens enlisted beneath the Red Cross Banner of the lost cause, under whose folds he had stood for several years, and he would likewise never forget that Anderson County was the last in South Carolina to be over? come by Federal bayonets. The Judge then complimented our people upon their pa? triotic and prudent course since the sur? render, and, without direct reference to politics, congratulated us in common with the whole people of our State upon the great governmental reform which we now enjoy as a nation and as a State. He urged our people to continue in their strides to? wards a higher and moie general civiliza? tion, and expressed the belief that an era of unprecedented prosperity and material ad? vancement was in store for us. With the best wishes for our people, and the most sincere thanks for the compliment they had paid him, he bid them good-night. The Judge was frequently and heartily ap? plauded. After more music Col. Cothran was also enthusiastically called for and responded in one of his characteristic speeches, having a point in every sentence, and calling out fre? quent bursts of applause. He began by acknowledging his part of the compliment of the serenade, and said that he was re? lieved of the necessity of making any speech on this occasion, because the distinguished Judge who preceded him had so ably per? formed that task, but he wished to make a speech to the people of Anderson County, because he had not had an opportunity to meet them in the last c?.nvasa, to the success of which the people of Anderson con? tributed so largely. He referred to the grat? ifying fact that we were now enjoying the fruits of the glorious victory we won last fall, and made some humorous remarks about the manner in which the culprits of the past administration were leaving the State. He said let them go, but he hoped and believed they would be brought back and sent to the State penitentiary. In con? cluding, the speaker expressed regret at learning that there were divisions among the Democrats of this County. That such ought not to be the case, but we should stand shoulder to shoulder and heart by heart in the effort to carry forward the great reform we have achieved, and thereby keep up the reputation of old Anderson, which achieved so great a majority last year. The crowd then repaired to the depot, where Gen. S. McGowan, one of Anderson's favorites, was greeted upon the arrival of the cars by the compliment of a serenade, which he pleasantly acknowledged. The General excused himself from making a speech, upon the ground of fatigue, and the crowd then dispersed. COUNTY BIBLE SOCIETY. The Anderson County Bible Society will hold its annual meeting at the Methodist Church on next Sabbath afternoon at 4 o'clock p. m. Auxilliary Societies of the County, and all friends of the Bible cause are requested to be present. COEBECTION. In speaking of the Cantata last week we were mistaken in ascribing its origin to one of the ladies who, though prominent and effective in contributing to its success, did not begin the organization of the company of young ladies who bestowed upon the town of Anderson such pleasant entertain? ments as those presented on Thursday and Friday, the 6th and 7th inst. The organiza? tion and training of the company was the work of the accomplished Mrs. E. C. Davis, and, as the affair was so eminently success? ful, we deem it proper to correct our mistake of last week, in order that the public may know under whose auspices the play .was inaugurated and carried to a very agreeable end. THE COLUMBIA REGISTER. We would remind our readers that we can club the Columbia Weekly Register with the Intelligencer at three dollars and a half a year for both papers, or to our sub? scribers for one dollar and fifty cents a year for the Register, which is one of the most ably conducted and reliable papers in the State. Col. James A. Hoyt, formerly of the Intelligences, is its editor, and that is a sufficient recommendation to our people, and we hope to receive a number of sub? scribers for this sterling journal. Our peo? ple should encourage home papers, and in? stead of sending their money to Northern weeklies without sympathy for us, they should subscribe for and thereby help to build up our State papers. THE PERDLETON MANUFACTURING COMPANY. The bond-holders of the above Company, who purchased the Factory and its machin? ery, effected a permanent organization last week by the election of Capt. Augustus J. Sitton President and Mr. Henry P. Sitton Secretary. It is contemplated to put the Factory into operation as soon as possible. This valuable water power and the im? provements upon it have been idle for some time now, and putting them into operation again will afford occupation to a number of families, besides remunerating the owners, we hope. They have shown good judgment in the selection of Capt. Sitton as President and Superintendent of the Company, and its future operation will no doubt be very successful. TOWN MEETING. The citizens of Anderson met pursuant to a call in the Court House on last Friday evening, for the purpose of electing dele? gates to the Railroad Convention, which meets here next Tuesday. Judge J. S. Mur? ray was elected Chairman, and Capt. John W. Daniels requested to act as Secretary. Speeches were made by Messrs. Featherston, Whitner, Rucker, Murray, McCully, Hum? phreys and Tolly favoring the Anderson and Augusta Railroad, after which the fol? lowing delegates were elected: G. F. Tolly, R. F. Divver, W. W. Humphreys, E. M. Rucker, S. McCully, B. F. Whitner, E. B. Murray, J. C. C. Featherston, J. S. Murray, J. N. Brown, W. F. Barr, James Wilson, J. B. Watson, A. 8. Todd, S. Bleckley, B. F. Crayton, N. K. Sullivan, O. H. P. Fant, Jas. L. Orr and A. T. Broyles. A commit? tee on business, with Maj. W. W. Hum? phreys as chairman, was appointed, and the meeting adjourned. I HONEA PATH. The protracted meeting mentioned last week, is still in progress, and will continue, probably, through the week. Ten or twelve members have been added to the Methodist church, and quite a number more will con? nect themselves with other churches.The farmers are all busy picking cotton. This crop promises to be a short one.The merchants are getting in their fall goods, and otherwise preparing for the fall trade. .The following notice was found on a tree near here. It was intended as a strike for higher wages. It, however, amounted to nothing : " Notice?There will be a public meeting at negro school house near Ander? son Moore's, Saturday, 15th September. All persons in favor of the laboring men gov? ernment will turn out." DISEASE AMONG HOGS. Mr. Editor : Recently we have heard of quite a number of deaths among hogs. A word or two on the subject may be of value to those owning this kind of stock. Times are too hard, and "hog and hominy" too scarce and high, to be indifferent to the ex? istence of fatal disease among them. All information, therefore, regarding successful treatment is desirable. A few weeks ago I lost a valuable fattening hog, and lately had another quite sick. As the former died rather suddenly, I did nothing for him. When I found the other was sick, I began to investigate the case, and concluded that the cause was obstructed intestines. My treat? ment was directed accordingly, and proved successful. I have no doubt that this is the nature of the disease in all or a majority of cases. I gave this case internal remedies, but relied mainly upon enemas. These I made mostly of warm soap suds, with a lit? tle salt, and used freely several times a day. Each time, too, with encouraging results. They were made more effectual by the use of a leather tube. At the same time I gave in dough about half teaspoonful of calomel, placed back in the mouth ; followed this in six or eight hours with an ounce or two of salts. Being in reasonable time ineffectual, I gave five drops croton oil, followed by five drops more after a few hours. In due time this with the enemas was successful. In place of croton oil would have used castor or sweet oil, if had been at hand, with turpen? tine. Any treatment that will remove the cause mentioned will save no doubt many cases. C. V. BARNES, M. D. HOPEWELL. Since our last communication death has smitten one of our best citizens to the ground. Mr. Chesley Martin is no more. He died on the 12th inst., in the sixty-sixth year of his age. He was an humble, retired and unassuming but, nevertheless, great man. In him centred those characteristics which constitute the true gentleman and upright citizen. A perfect paragon of hon? esty, veracity and firmness was he. Strange to say, he died without an enemy. He conducted his business on a strictly cash system, ever living within that moral in? junction, "Owe no man anything, but to love him." On the. day following his death his remains were followed by a long train" of afflicted friends to Hopewell Church, where the last honors were paid them. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. F. G. Carpenter in a sermon well adap? ted to the occasion. He was then interred beside his wife, who had preceded him four years. While we tease to call his name let us cherish his many virtues.We have a few cases of fever.On last Thursday morning we bad an unprecedented heavy dew. It was almost equal to a small shower of rain, and withstood the power of the sun j in low lands until noon. From then until now the dews have been heavy, but are ap? proaching the usual fall.The manufac? ture of sorghum absorbs every other interest just now. We have seen some beautiful samples. That of J. R. Bolt is worthy of special notice. It is equal to the best grades of New Orleans, except the peculiar flavor. It seems to us that the improvement made in the manufacture of this article for the last few years is wonderful, and we feel assured thct it will be carried on to perfec? tion. The money expended for syrups in our township every year is great. With homemade molasses, rice, fruits and fertili? zers, what will hinder us from becoming a great agricultnral people?.Will "N," in the Grange Column, give us his views on rice culture? HOMO. PRESENTMENT OF GRAND JURY. September Term 18T7. To His Honor Judge L. C. Northrop: The Grand Jury beg leave respectfully to present? That they have made diligent inquiry into the matters committed to their charge, and congratulate the public upon the efficient and able manner in which the affairs of the County are administered. They have by committees visited and ex? amined the offices of Probate Judge, Clerk and Sheriff, and find them neatly and well kept. The lower floor of the jail was found to be occupied by the jailor as a residence, and it is recommended that blinds be furnished for that part of the building. The Sheriff has advanced out Of his pri? vate funds, in discharge of his duty, various sums of money for dieting and transporting prisoners and lunatics, which he has had to borrow. It is recommended that the Coun? ty Commissioners be authorized to refund the amounts so advanced, together with the interest accrued thereon. The committee on the Poor House report that they have visited that place and find the farm and inmates in good condition and well cared for. The number of paupers pro? vided for is fifty-six, of which number only eight are able to contribute to the support of the institution by their work. In regard to the public roads and bridges of the County, it is respectfully presented that many of them, in certain sections, are in bad condition, and it is recommended that the County Commissioners be notified of the fact, and that they be urged to take immediate action in regard to them. Upon information, they would call especial atten? tion to the bridge over Big Beverdam Creek, on the road leading to Knox's Bridge, and also to the bridge over Six-and-Twenty, near Harper's place, on the Pendleton road. A petition signed by sundry citizens of the Fork Townsnip, in this County, represents that a certain road in that Township, be? tween Snow's Hill and Avery's Ferry, has not received proper attention; that the same is highly necessary to the citizens of that and other communities. And upon satisfactory evidence being heard, it is re? commended that the County Commissioners be required to put the same in good repair, with as little delay as possible. The Jury Commissioner of this County is respectfully presented for incompetency and for drunkenness, and it is recommended that he be removed from office on this ac account. The Grand Jury gratefully acknowledge the valuable and courteous assistance ex tendod to them by the Honorable Court in the discharge of their duties. Respectfully submitted, JAMES HUNTER, Foreman.
