THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL. MATTERS. ?m_ - ? ? TO ADVERTISERS. Tin- Anderson INTELLIGENCER hos the largest circulation of any country pepe? published in tlw State, and bas ?uore than tl,roe times the circulation of any other pa |K;r in Anderson County.

Next Sabbath is to bo observed by many of the Baptist Churches in the South as a day of speciol prayer and contribution to the cause of foreign missions. A great ina.iy persons from thc up-coun try havo availed themselves of the cheap excursion rates to visit tho city of Charles ton during tho present week. The great Rocky River drainage case oc cupied two and a haif days of thc Court iast week, and resulted in a mistrial. Hence, wc will have to rehash it next January term of thc Court. Mr. Major Massey, of Rock Mills town ship, sent to our office last week a stalk of corn measuring tineen feet long, which pro duced two cars of corn twelve inches long, lt was a mammoth growth. The Circuit Court for Anderson County adjourned last Friday, and a special term waa 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, ono of tho oldest and most highly respected citizens of Anderson County, bas been ill from paralysis for the past two weeks at the residence of his son, Mr. Solomon Geer. We regret to learn that Ins condition is not improving. Wc regret to announce the death of Mrs. Martha J. Richardson which occurred at tho 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 GENCER this week and you will bc convinced that Anderson is the place to bny your sup* plies. Thc freights to this point have been rsduccd, and our merchants are selling all classes of goods at the lowest figures. Oscar, eldest son of Maj. John B. Moore, anet with a painful accident while visiting Mr. Frank Sitton in Oconcc County last week. He got his hand caught in a cotton gin and had his front Anger cut off. His injuries are, however, not serious, and he may be considered fortunate in escaping j even with the loss of a linger. Cotton bas been opening rapidly for the past two weeks, and the best estimates count ubout 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 li'dd at Milford's Store on next Saturday, begir nlng at 10 o'clock a. m., in the interest of the Anderson & Augusta Railroad.

The Anderson Comet Band was in attendance, and discoursed its best mus;- to enthuse tho military feeling in all who were present. The day passed off pleasantly, and our boys relumed highly dolightcd with their trip and the manner in which they had been entertained. We regret to announa 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 mado many friends wherever bc was known. During his illness he received all that medical skill and tender attention could do to arrest the band of the destroyer, but to no avail. He leaves a large circle of relatives and friends who regret his death. Our linnea Path correspondent r.nnounces thc death of Capt. S. M. TrJbble, which oc curred on last Friday, after an illness of a little moro than ono 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 uls neighbors and acquaintance:). The death of snch a man is a lots to any community. Ho leaves a wife and several children to mourn a loss in which they havo the sincerest sympathy of j the entire community.

We would remind our people that thc Anderson Farmers' and Mechanics' Fair will be held at this place on tho '2Uh, 25th and 20th of this month. We trust a very general interest In its success wiii tn? mani fested, and that every person who can will bring something in tho way of Block, field crops, manufactures, household and fancy articles to exhibit, it is a County Fair, and by tho display made at it by our citizens, the value and prosperity of Anderson Coun ty will in a largo measure bc judged of by persons who may be visiting us at that time.

They will continue the term of two months, at the expiration of which they will clo., e. Our camp-meeting, with its enjoyments, ex citements, enthusiasms, and with all the moral bearings 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 tho3e 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 aro white.

Tho dat j and race are undergoing repair, and will, in j a few days, bo completed. The President is J making every effort to finish tho work necessary about tho 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 tho selection made by the bond-holders In securing tho services of Mr. Sitton as President. They my 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 bclievo ono of two Illings concerning the Factory, that it will either ingloriously fail or will com mence fairly on tho road to prosperity and wealth, before the President's term of office expires. Mr. M. C.

EDITOB : I desire through your valu able {taper to say a few worri* to tho good ?-?mle of Waiiaraston aad Brushy Creek Townships in regard to the Tiial Justice system. The Constitution o? the State of South Carolina provide for the election of Justice of the Peace, ont our Legislature has substituted Trial Justice instead, and em powered thc Governor to appoint the same. We, the people of the tivo townships, aro destitute of a Trial Justice, and arc subjected to thc trouble sud annoyance of traveling from ii (U er. to twenty miles to transact any busing. This state ol affairs has been brought ? bout by some means, but should not continue. We have boen ignored by our representatives at the proper time, and since the proper time petition ofter 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 wholo people without regard to politics. Hence, ho could not nisi ?? the appointment of one party to the d?triment of thc other. Too many as pirants for the office belong to cliques, and their pet it ions should be ignored. Wc want a good men, and as conveniently situated as may be ; and as our Representatives have up to this time ignored our section, and wc 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 bc 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 )-?K/ple, and that will not be in fluenced by cliques or corporations, and one that our beloved Hampton will commission. I there-ore suggest that the voters of tho two towt ships, without regard to party pol itics, race or color, meet at John O. Smith's on Saturday, tho 13th day of October next, to elect and recommend a suitable man for Trial Justice and Constable, and every man in tho two townships come out and voto for their choice. Let the various candidates de clare themselves in the meantime, and the majority man be recommended for tho ap pointment, and others gracefully decline, and we may rafely count on a Democratic victory.

Tho good order and utmost harmony that prevailed daring tho meeting of tho Con vention, together with the good singing, evinced that it is doing great and lasting cood for the advancement of the cause of sacred music in me commumiiea witera ?io meetings are held. Tho following resolutions were adopted : Resolved, Thai tho thanks of this Onven tlon *>e tendered Mr. J. F. Anderson fer his val. " d essay on music.
