THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. TO ADVERTISERS. The Anderson Intelligenter hos 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 Intelligenter. . BRIEF MENTION. Mr. J. F. Callaham, a one-armed gentle? man of Broadaway township, picked 150 pounds of cotton one day last week. Next Sabbath is to be observed by many of the Baptist Churches in the South as a day of special prayer and contribution to the cause of foreign missions. A great many persons from the up-coun? try have availed themselves of the cheap excursion rates to visit the city of Charles? ton during the present week. The great Rocky River drainage case oc? cupied two and a half days of the Court last week, and resulted iu a mistrial. Hence, we will have to rehash it next January term of the Court. Mr. Major Massey, of Rock Mills town? ship, sent to our office last week a stalk of ? corn measuring fifteen feet long, which pro? duced two ears of com twelve inches long. It was a mammoth growth. The Circuit Court for Anderson County adjourned last Friday, and a special term was ordered to begin on next Tuesday, but Judge Northrop's appointment as District Attorney renders it doubtful whether we have any Judge. Mr. David Geer, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Anderson County, has been ill from paralysis for the past two weeks at the residence of his son, Mr. Solomon Geer. We regret to learn that bis condition is not improving. We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Martha J. Richardson which occurred at the residence of her husband, Mr. Mathias Richardson, near Slabtown, on the 1st of September last. She leaves many relatives ? and friends who mourn her death. Read the advertisements in the Intelli? genter this week and you will be convinced that Anderson is the place to buy your sup? plies. The freights to this point have been reduced, and our merchants are selling all classes of goods at the lowest figures. Oscar, eldest son of Maj. John B. Moore, met with a painful accident while visiting Mr. Frank Sitton in Oconec County last week. He got his hand caught in a cotton gin and had his front finger cut off. His injuries are, however, not serious, and he may be considered fortunate in escaping . even with the loss of a finger. Cotton has been opening rapidly for the past two weeks, and the best estimates count about one-third off from an average crop for Anderson County this year, and yet the price is very low. As our people seem fond of working for other persons, we predict that they will plant as much cotton again next year as ever. Do not forget the railroad mass meeting which is to be held- at Milford's Store on next Saturday, beginning at 10 o'clock a. m., in the interest of the Anderson & Augusta Railroad. Every one?ladies and gentlemen ?should endeavor to be present to manifest their interest in the important enterprise which calls the meeting together. The soldiers of Hart County, Ga., had a ? largely attended and pleasant re-union at Hartwell on last Tuesday, at which a num? ber of speeches were made by invited ora? tors. The Anderson Cornet Band was in attendance, and discoursed its best music to enthuse the military feeling in all who were present. The day passed off pleasantly, and our boys returned highly delighted with their trip and the manner in which they had been entertained. We regret to announce the death of Mr. James R. Drennan, which occurred in this place on last Tuesday morning after a long and painful illness. Mr. Drennan was a young man of amiable disposition, and made many friends wherever he was known. During his illness he received all that medical skill and tender attention could do to arrest the hand of the destroyer, but to no avail. He leaves a large circle of relatives and friends who regret his death. Our Honea Path correspondent announces the death of Capt. S. M. Tribble, which oc? curred on last Friday, after an illness of a little more than one week from an attack of paralysis, of which mention was made in our last issue. Capt. Tribble was a gentle? man of the highest character, and was much esteemed and beloved by his neighbors and acquaintances. The death of such a man is a loss to any community. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn a loss in which they have the sincerest sympathy of the entire community. We understand that a company of well trained young ladies and gentlemen, ama? teurs, of this place, have in course of prepa? ration some very fine standard plays, with which they propose to enliven our commu? nity during the approaching Fair, begin? ning October 24th. As their object is a most worthy one, (building a Rectory for the Episcopal Church,) they should receive the liberal patronage of the people. Fur? ther particulars will be given hereafter. We would remind our people that the Anderson Farmers' and Mechanics' Fair will be held at this place on the 24th, 25th and 26th of this month. We trust a very general interest in its success will be mani? fested, and that every person who can will bring something in the way of stock, field crops, manufactures, household and fancy articles to exhibit. It is a County Fair, and by the display made at it by our citizens, the value and prosperity of Anderson Coun? ty will in a large measure be judged of by jKjrsons who may be visiting us at that time. At the meeting of Anderson Division, No. 1, Sons of Temperance, on last Thurs? day evening, the following officers were elected to serve the ensuing quarter, viz: John M. Hubbard, W. P.; John H. Clarke, W. A.; T. C. Ligon, R. S.; C. C. Langston, A. R. S.; C. W. Webb, F. S.; A. S. Todd, Treas.; A. B. Towers, Chap.; J. S. Ander_ son, Con.; C. F. Jones, A. C.; W. D. Bew ley, I. S.; W. D. Maroney, O. S.; R. N. White, P. W. P.; E. C. Frierson, Librarian; Miss Stark Bellotte, Asst. Librarian. The officers will be installed at the meeting of the Division this (Thursday) evening by G. F. Tolly, D. G. W. P. As this is the annual meeting, at which other important business will come up for transaction, a full attendance of the members is desired. The Division will meet promptly at 7$ o'clock. Twenty-five cents expended for ono bottle of Shriner'sIndian Vermifuge will save your child from the horrible agony of being eaten by worms. TOW MEETING. The committee of citizens appointed to solicit subscriptions for the Savannah Valley Railroad have called a meeting of the citi? zens of Anderson and vicinity in the Court House on Friday night at 71 o'clock. The citizens generally and the ladies especially are invited to attend the meeting. Speeches will be made by a number of gentlemen, and active steps will be taken towards rais? ing a subscription for the purpose of build? ing the proposed road. The meeting will also direct its attention to the propriety of making some effort to secure the control of the Blue Ridge Railroad. Every citizen of the town of Anderson should be present on Friday night. COMPLIMENTARY. The following preamble and resolutions were presented to the Court by the Fore? man of Jury No. 1: State of South Carolina, County of Anderson. To his Honor L. C. Northrop, Judge of the Seventh Circuit, presiding over the September Term of the Courts of General Sessions and Common Pleas for the Eighth Judicial Cir? cuit: Whereas, the present term of the Circuit Court for Anderson County has been a long and arduous one, and whereas the Petit Ju? rors desire to express their appreciation of the course pursued by the presiding Judge; Therefore, we hereby tender to your Honor our sincere thanks for the consideration shown the Juries by your Honor during the entire term, and take this occasion to express our appreciation of the uniform dignity, courtesy and ability with which you have administered the laws during the numerous and tedious causes which have been disposed of. In conclusion, we would express our grat? ification at the intelligence of your Honor's appointment to the high and important office of United 8tates District Attorney for South Carolina, and congratulate our people upon securing the services of one so accep? table to fill this office, which has been so mneh abused for a number of years past. Again thanking your Honor for the dili? gence, patience and fidelity displayed upon the Bench, we would extend our best wishes for your welfare, and request that this com? munication be spread upon the minutes of this Court. WM. M. ARCHER, Foreman Jury No. 1., ? THOS. B. LEE, Foreman Jury No. 2. September 28,1877. County Correspondence. HONEA PATH. Capt. S. M. Tribble died on Friday night last, and was buried on Saturday afternoon at Little River Church. In his death the community at large sustains a loss.Col. Hoke is making extensive repairs on Mrs. Brock's house.Profes? sor Reid is hauling lumber and will soon commence a new dwelling.Little Ella, daughter of C. E.

Burts closed the protracted meeting at Broadmouth church on Tuesday last, being unable to continue it longer on account of sore eyes. The meeting has been an interest? ing one?twelve having joined in the last few days. SANDY SPRINGS. The exercises of Sandy Springs Academy were resumed last Monday, the 24th inst. They will continue the term of two months, at the expiration of which they will close. Our camp-meeting, with its enjoyments, ex? citements, enthusiasms, and with all the moral hearings which it has produced upon the neighborhood and surrounding country, are passed and gone, and the people have again put on their former natural garb. They ore now diligently pursuing those du? ties necessary for the sustenance of this life, such as fodder-stripping, cotton picking and potato-digging. Our farmers have finished stripping and curing their fodder, and are now busily engaged picking cotton, the fields of which are white. If the weather continues pretty two weeks longer, the cot? ton will all be open and the greater portion housed.Mr. Augustus Sitton, the Presi? dent of the Factory, is earnestly engaged in preparing it to commence work. The dam and race are undergoing repair, and will, in a few days, be completed. The President is making every effort to finish the work necessary about the Factory, so that he may be able to commence running it in the course of two or three weeks. The people are much pleased with the selection made by the bond-holders in securing the services of Mr. Sitton as President. They say he is a man in whom they can confide; that he will not leap in the dark, and therefore will not hesitate a moment in intrusting their cotton in his hands. We believe one of two things concerning the Factory, that it will either ingloriously fail or will. com? mence fairly on the road to prosperity and wealth, before the President's term of office expires. Mr. M. C. Smith, a man of un? usual powers of energy and generosity, has been employed to take charge of the gin, which has been thoroughly repaired and every thing in readiness for ginning. TOWN YULE. The first bale of new cotton sold at West? minister was carried from this township by Mr. James Killingworth.The whiskey wagon influx has not fairly commenced. "A little more cider, cider.".Cotton is opening rapidly, and our farmers are busy? very busy?gathering it.Married, on Thursday, 27th ult., at the residence of the officiating clergyman, Rev. E. F.

She hod lived to see children bloom into youth, ripen into manhood and tremble with age.A colored woman, the wile of Samuel Evins, recently died in this community of whom it is said perished to death. Tile colored people of the vicinity, who, of course, believe in transmigration, assert that, by way of torturing the minds of her uncharitable neighbors, the spirit of this unfortunate woman returns, and may be seen in the night-time wandering about the vacant premises, uttering the most piti? ful cries and begging for bread. We are not disposed to give much credit to such a shocking statement, as it is hardly credit? able to any civilized community. But nevertheless, as it is known that this wo? man was sick and unable to work for some time previous to her death, likely she may have suffered for want of proper care and nourish merit. G. N. C. B. Mb. Editor : I desire through your valu? able paper to say a few words to the good people of Williamston and Brushy Creek Townships in regard to the Trial Justice system. The Constitution of the State of South Carolina provides for the election of Justice of the Peace, but our Legislature has substituted Trial Justice instead, and em? powered the Governor to appoint the same. We, the people of the two townships, are destitute of a Trial Justice, and are subjected to the trouble and annoyance of traveling from fifteen to twenty miles to transact any business. This state of affairs has been brought about by some means, but should not continue. We have been ignored by our representatives at the proper time, and since the proper time petition after petition have went up for different aspirants, and Democratic Clubs have elected and recom? mended a man, and yet we have none. Governor Hampton in his speeches said he would be the Governor of the whole people without regard to politics. Hence, he could not make the appointment of one party to the detriment of the other. Too many as? pirants for the office belong to cliques, and their petitions should be ignored. We want a good man, and as conveniently situated as maybe; and as our Representatives have up to this time ignored our section, and we been put to great inconvenience by their neglect, we ask them now to keep silent and let us work out our own salvation; and if we are to be fenced off separate and apart, we think, by proper action, we can carry out in part the spirit of the Constitution, and elect a Trial Justice and Constable that will suit the people, and that will not be in? fluenced by cliques or corporations, and one that our beloved Hampton will commission. I therefore suggest that the voters of the two townships, without regard to party pol? itics, race or color, meet at John C. Smith's on Saturday, the 13th day of October next, to elect and recommend a suitable man for Trial Justice and Constable, and every man in the two townships come out and vote for their choice. Let the various candidates de? clare themselves in the meantime, and the majority man be recommended for the ap? pointment, and others gracefully decline, and we may safely count on a Democratic victor}'. JUSTICE. ANDERSON COUNTY SINGING CONVEN? TION. Mr. Editor: The ninth annual meeting of the Anderson County Singing Conven? tion convened with Mt. Bethel Church on Thursday, the 20th inst., but owing to the inclemency of the weather very few mem? bers were present, and the Convention ad? journed to meet on Friday. The Convention met at 11 o'clock Friday morning, and, notwithstanding the con fin? ance of the bad weather, delegates and visi? tors came pouring in from every quarter. The Convention was opened with singing, and prayer by President J. G. Douthit, after which exercises in music were conducted by W. V. Vickery and W. T. McLees. Recess for one hour. When the delegates re-assembled they were called to order by the President, who declared the Convention open for the trans? action of its appropriate business. The Secretary being absent, G. M. McDavid was appointed Secretary pro tern. The first in order was calling for and reading letters, and enrolling the names of delegates from the different Schools and Societies. Several letters were read, and the delegates invited to take seats in the Convention. Mi*. S. J. Dalton was received as messenger from the Greenville County Singing Convention.? The Convention then went into an election for officers to serve the ensuing year, result? ing as follows: J. G. Douthit, President; L. W. Kay, Vice President; W. F. Cox, Secretary and Treasurer. The President appointed the usual committees. The evening exercises in music were conducted by J. F. Anderson and Prof. J. G. Douthit. Prof. A. S. Kieffer, of Singers' Glen, Rock ingham County, Va., closed the exercises of the day with some pertinent and practical remarks. The Convention met on Saturday morn? ing at 9 o'clock, and the bad weather hay? ing abated a much larger audience was in attendance than on the day previous. The exercises in music were conducted by J. L. Haynie and S. J. Dalton, after which, ac? cording to appointment, Mr. J. F. Anderson read an interesting and instructive essay on Music, which was received and adopted. Lesson in music by L. W. Kay. Prof. A. S. Kieffer then arose and addressed the Con? vention on the "Science and Practice of Music." It is unnecessary for us to say that his address was listened to with deep interest by all present, for a lover and advo cator of sacred music would have attentive hearers in any assemblage of people. We will not attempt a synopsis but will say it was an intellectual treat?clear, concise, eminently practical, ahd replete with strik? ing thoughts, carried home to the hearts of every one by forcible illustration. Lessons in music in the evening were conducted by T. L. Clinkscales, W. T. McLees and M. L. Latimer. The Convention held a business session, and appointed the next annual meeting with Salem Church on Thursday before the fourth Sabbath in September, 1878, and the semi-annual meeting with Providence Ch urch on Saturday before the second Sabbath in May next. Rev. S. Lan? der was elected to write the musical essay, after which Prof. J. G. Douthit closed the exercises of the day. Sunday morning the congregation was large and attentive, the spacious Church being completely filled, besides a large number outdoors unable to get in the house. Lessons in music in the morning were conducted by Prof. J. G. Douthit, using the "Temple Star;" J. L. Haynie and L. W. Kay, using the "Melodies of Praise." Recess for one hour. After par? taking of the luscious viands of every de? scription, the Convention repaired to the Church, and had the closing lessons in music by J. W. Kay, W. T, McLees and J. G. Douthit. The good order and utmost harmony that prevailed during the meeting of the Con? vention, together with the good singing, evinced that it is doing great and lasting good for the advancement of the cause of sacred music in the communities where its meetings are held. The following resolutions were adopted : Resolved, That the thanks of this Conven? tion be tendered Mr. J. F. Anderson for his valued essay on music. Resolved, That the thanks of this Conven? tion be tendered Prof. A. S. Kieffer for his visit and presence in our Convention, and for instructions received from him, and that he is entitled to our best wishes and prayers for his future prosperity and happiness. Resolved, That the proceedings of this Convention be published in our County papers and Musical Million. J. G. DOUTHIT, President. W. F. Cox, Sec. and Treas. An oriental traveler describes this busy scene, witnessed on historic shores: "Our steamer landed on a beach which was the port at Antioch, where the disci? ples were first called Christians. There was no town at the water's edge, no peo? ple, no wharf. The passengers and the merchandise were put ashore in lighters, which ran up into the sand. A troop of camels, with thoir drivers, lay on the' beach, ready to transfer the goods into the interior. Among the articles landed were boxes marked 'Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass., U. S. A.,' show? ing that they contained medicines and whence they came. These with other goods were hoisted on the backs of cam? els, for transportation to Antioch. Thus the skill of the West .sends back its rem? edies to heal the maladies of populations that inhabit those eastern shores, whence our spiritual manna came."? Windtor ( Vt.,) Chronicle. SAILROAD MEETING. Anderson, C. H., Sept. 25th, 1877. The Railroad Convention met pursuant to adjournment, J. Marion Latimer, Sr., President, in the chair. The President briefly explained the object of the meeting, advised that meetings be held at different points along the proposed line, and urged all to attend.

Three doses m ill relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Drug? gists to recommend it to the poor dying consumptive at least to try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was re? ported.
