THE INTELLIGENCER. "LOCAL. MATTERS. 1800 TO ADVERTISERS. 1800 The Anderson Intelligencer 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 cir? culate regularly 1800 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 Intelligencer. --- BBIKF MENTION.

Crayton & Sons, where they are kept for distribution. The time for the collection of taxes with? out the penalty ends on next Thursday, i ;and all who do not pay before that date . will certainly be required to pay the penalty of twenty per cent. Mr. John B. Harrison, of Baltimore, is in Anderson on a visit for a short time. As is well known, Le represents the popular shoe ;< house of T. J. Magruder & Co., and does an extensive businessthroughout South Caro? lina and Georgia. The Wheeler House, ? Columbia, has been . ;Te-opened under the management of Maj. R. N. Lawrance, who is favorably known to the traveling public, and visitors to the State oPair will secure all the comforts of a first class hotel by stopping with him. 1 ? Mr. Andrew O. Norris had a cow grazing in a field with an old dry well in it For - one week the animal .entirely disappeared, and was finally discovered in the well un? hurt, where for one week she had been ob? serving a strict fast, having hadhieither food nor water. . The down train on the Blue Ridge Rail? road met with a" long delay by the engine | running off of the track on "Wednesday morning"- us! it was leaving Walhalla. No damage was done, but the train was again delayed until near night. It would be a blessing to the Road and to the public if the old schedule could be restored. * We were mistaken last week in saying that Col. Alexander had a cane mill anc evaporator on exhibition at the late Ander? son Fair. His did not arrive, and. those shown were from the Blymyer Manufac? turing Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, for j which Messrs. Sullivan & Co. are agents at | i this place. At the railroad meeting held at the Cars well Institute on last Thursday resolutions were adopted by the citizens of Hall Town? ship pledging $20,000 by taxation to the ~ building of the Anderson and Savannah "Valley Railroad. Speeches were made by Messrs. W. C. Brown, J. C. C. Featherston, IE. M. Rucker and perhaps others upon this subject. The'road is going to be built. The Chief Justice has directed Judge J. P. Reed to hold an extra term of Court for An? derson County, beginning on next Monday, for the trial of civ? business, which requires no jury. In accordance with this, Judge Reed will begin Court on Monday morning and continue it for such a portion of the coming week as may be necessary to trans? act the business upon the calendars. The Railroad meeting at Watt's Store on last Friday was poorly attended owing to another meeting which was held near by. It however, organized by electing Mr. A. J. Watt, President, and Weston Hays, Sec? retary. It-then adjourned to meet at Flat Rock* on Tuesday, the 20th inst at 11 o'clock a. m., and requested all the citizens of Va rennes Township and especially the ladies to be present The Abbeville Fair last week was a great success, though on Friday they had bad weather to contend with. The exhibition was highly creditable in all the departments, and especially in 'the Art and Needle and Fancy Work Departments. The manage? ment throughout was excellent and reflected the highest credit upon the officers of the Association and the people of Abbeville County. . Notwithstanding the fact that lust Mon? day was a very rainy disagreeable day, a I large crowd of persons visited Anderson, to be in town on Salesday. A large amount of | real estate and personal property was sold at public outcry, and generally brought low prices. The usual amount of horse-swap? ping was also indulged in, and the bar? rooms seemed to be doing a prosperous bus? iness, but good order prevailed, and the day passed off quietly. Cotton has been coming into Anderson faster than the railroad can remove it, and ct one time the platform was crowded/ be? sides a very large quantity of it was on the ground. The railroad would not receipt for it, and consequently the merchants were very greatly inconvenienced. They com? plain very much at the course of the com? pany in refusing as public carriers to receeive ] goods for transportation. President Hayes has proclaimed Thurs? day, the 29th inst., as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer throughout the United States. Vo services have been or? dered for the churches in Anderson up to this time. The day will doubtless be ob? served throughout the whole country by such congregations as believe in the pro? priety of public officers influencing the de? votions of the churches in the nation. Mrs. Elisabeth Rice, wife of Mr. A. E. Rice, departed this life on last Saturday morning, after a lingering illness from con? sumption. Mrs. Rice was an excellent lady, with many warm and devoted friends, who lament her untimely death, and mingle tbeir sincerest sympathies with the husband and children who survive her. - On Sunday last her remains were placed to rest in First Creek Church Yard in the presence of a large and sorrowing audience. For the past six weeks a large number of meteors have been noticed at night; and { this brings to mind the fact that the day upon which the most famous showers of j this astronomical mystery have occurred is at hand. The night of the twelfth, or morning of the thirteenth, of this month, between the hour of three and day is the time at which these famous phenomena occurred, and as this fall has been very warm and late, if we should have cold weather about that date the conditions for; a repetition of it will be favorable. The chances for it are good enough at least to justify young men in calling upon their sweethearts at that time. A DELIGHTFUL EVENING. The entertainment given the people of | Anderson on last Friday evening, by Sol ?mi& Russell and his accomplished troupe ?of musical artists, was one of the most ele? gant and xenned performances that we have ..ever seen in ibis place from any company. The central fignre of jpopular interest in ithis company is of course Sol Smith Russell, whose imi'ative powers are nnsnrpased by sany actor of whom we know, and certainly Jie has as fine control of the muscles of his face and thereby of his expression as any nr. an can have. His impersonations were loudly applauded, and produced long and continued rounds of hearty laughter. He as simply indescribable. With him were JVIisses Dora Wiley, Anna Holbrook and Annie L'Estelle, and Messrs. Louis P. Pfau and Jules G. Lumbard, musicians of rare talent and vocal powers, whose rendition of S number of songs was artistic and highly appreciated. The song, "The Rose Bush/' by Miss. Holbrook, and "The Sweet Bye and Bye," from the quartette were given, to the perfect enchantment of tLe audience. Every one was more than charmed by the entire performance, and we have never seen a more unostentatious nor a more meritorious com? pany than tli e performers in this tronpe ap? peared. There was nothing objectionable in the entertainment which was adapted to elevate as well as amuse those in attend? ance. SHOCKING MTTBDEB. On last Saturday afternoon Coroner Her? rick was notified that the dead body of a colored woman named Tilda Norris had been discovered in a piece of woods seme twelve miles southeast of Anderson, and on Sunday morning he repaired to the place and held au inquest over the body, which had certainly been murdered as the skull had been broken in a fearful manner by two heavy blows, one on the forehead and the other upon the back of the head. The body had evidently been robbed of its clothing ^nd removed from the place at which the murder occurred and had laid there for one week. The testimony showed that the wo? man and her husband, Cato Norris, had on '.he previous Sabbath to the inquest had a difficulty, and that her husband had made threats against her. On evening they went out visiting and starteo&iome together. She was never heard of afterwards, until j her dead body was discovered in a horrible condition. Her husband was present at the inquest, and gave his testimony in apparent unconcern. The jury did not,feel satisfied to present any one as the perpetrator of this crime, and we are informed that on Mon? day Cato Norris disappeared, and canuot now be found. It is greatly to be regretted that he was not arrested, as everything points to his guilt, and the perpetrator of such a fiendish deed of barbarity as this should not have been so tenderly dealt with. We hope that every effort will be made for -h.is capture and trial. ,Such a crime is a dis? grace to the civilization of any people, and every citizen ought to feel that the good u&me of our County has b?en outraged by this foul deed. Nothing short of hanging the perpetrator ought to satisfy any one. DARING KOEBEEY. On last Sabbath morningf while Mrs. M. A. Morris and family were in attendance upon the services of the Episcopal Church, her house in Anderson was entered and robbed of a watch, locket, purse of money anJ other valuables, amounting to several hundred dollars. Search was promptly in? stituted, and in the afternoon Harry Miles and William Green, colored, were found playing cards at the house of the latter, and frej'h ->aint was discovered on the clothes of Mi;es j who had also been seen near Mrs. Morris' residence in the morning. From the fact that her house had been recently painted suspicion immediately rested upon Miles, who was arrested, and upon his way to jail confessed the crime, and told the officers they would find a portion of the stolen property in Green's house. The search was made and the watch and some other articles were found as stated. Wm. Grean was then also arrested and lodged in jail. The locket and purse were put in a crack in the partition wall in the jail, and after some little time he also directed the officers where to find them, which was done. Miles, who was tried here some time ago for stealing a watch from Mr. John Ilastie, of Fendleton, is evidently the leading rob? ber iu this case, and is a very bad character. A bunch of thirty or forty keys, of all dis cripiions, was found in his pocket, and some of them were identified by citizens of An? derson as keys they had lost. ' While Miles is .thr leader in this business, .he evidently has confederates, and but for his bad day's work, on last Sunday, no doubt other out? rages wonld soon have been committed in this community. The severest penalties of the law should be inflicted upon these ras? cals, both to place them beyond the power of continuing their robberies, and to deter othera from following their example. BAILSOAD MEETINGS. W'c! are authorized to announce that meet? ings iu the interest of the Anderson and Savannah Valley Railroad will be held as follows: ? Va?ennes Township, at Flat Rock, No? vember 20th, at 11 o'clock. Broadway, at Neal's Creek, November 21, at 11 o'clock. - Centreville, at Hunter's Spring, Novem? ber 22nd, at 11 o'clock. Savannah, at B. A. Davis' Mill, Novem? ber 23rd, at 11 o'clock. The ladies and gentlemen of these and adjoining townships are requested to attend these meetings. The announcement of the committees will be .made next'week. STATS FAIR EXCURSION. The Greenville and Columbia Railroad will issue excursion tickets to thu State Fair and return at very low rates, beginning the .sale on the 10th and ending on the 16th of this month, and holding good for return up to and including Thursday, the 22nd inst. These tickets will not be good unless used by the 16th, and will not allow the holder to stop at any station this side of Columbia. The fare for points above Williamston and Anderson is $5; for points above Honea Path to Anderson, $4 50, and from Honea Path to Donnalds, $4. POPULAR HOTEL PRICES. The Charleston Hotel, which is well known to be strictly first class in all its ap? pointments, has reduced the rates of board to $2.50, $3.00 and $4.00, according to loca? tion of room. There is no hotel in the South superior in management and accom? modation to this hotel, and we most cheer? fully commend it to the traveling public. County Coirespondence. WILLIAMSTON. On Saturday, the 27th ult., the little town of Williamston was overrun with wagons, men, horses, mules and oxen, and conse? quently the platform and its surroundings were, covered to overflowing with cotton. According to actual count there were 127 bales of that staple brought in and sold? sold did I say ? Let me take that back, and say rather given away for guano. Alas! for our hard-working farmers, instead of enjoying the proceeds of their hard-earned labor themselves and paying for rations with which they have been supplied in or? der to make this cotton, to be compelled to send it to those guano companies. It would be far better "for them to make more fertil? izers at home and use less from abroad. In the afternoon of the same day there was an auction of goods held at the store of Mr. C. E. Horton, where many bargains were made, both good and bad.Monday, the 29th, there was an exhibition or show in town, in which were seen many tricks, sights, etc., etc., from the size of a small pistol to that of a cannon. The most interesting part of the exhibition, per? haps, was the ascension of a large balloon, followed in its serial flight by'a negro man to such a height that he apparently looked no larger than a squirrel when he began to descend. He landed safely on terra firma after his ride through the air without any injury.Mr. George French is. remodel? ing his house on the corner of the Pickens ville road and Ellis street?has an ell of 23x30 feet already up and covered with tin ?and when completed it will make a shine. .Our jovial friend and merchant, Mr. David Stoddard, has removed back to his old home in Laurens County.Our regu? lar Williamston localizer, "Locum Stag gilli," is now in town, and perhaps you may hear again from WILLIAMSTON. SANDY.SPRINGS. Those who have been, and are now, pa? trons of our school will please remember its approaching close. On the last day, the 25th, we earnestly desire each and every one to come forward like honorable geutlemen and willingly fulfill their portion of the agreement, as we have cheerfully and un? flinchingly done. A word to the wise is sufficient.Saturday, the 3rd inst., being the day for the quarterly meeting of the Grange, it convened at Sandy Springs. Five Granges were represented at the meet? ing. A goodly number of grangers and cit? izens were present to witness this Grangp Festival. Each granger brought something of the products of his farm and garden for exhibition. The exhibits, though few iu number, were of a superior quality. Corn would compare favorably with any raised in any portion of the United States, either in size or quality; turnips, planted in Sep? tember, measured six inches in diameter; potatoes, millet and an innumerable host of other farm products and garden vegetables, all evincing a thorough knowledge of agri? culture, both in sowing and in tilling. The Hall being elegantly and tastefully festoon* ed by the fair maidens of Sandy Springs, undoubtedly added much to the occasion. After the private transactions of the Grange, the table was bountifully ladened with good things, of which all, saint and sinuer, hap? pily and heartily partook. After this feast, the meeting was called to order by the Wor? thy Master pro tern, Mr. Peter Brown, for the purpose of discussing subjects and read? ing essays. Doctor R. M. Morris, being asked his views on wheat culture, gave his experience, which was practical and instruc? tive. Maj. T. B. Lee read an essay upon "rotation of crops." There were other questions proposed and discussed, at the close of which Mr. W. W. Russell, in a few timely remarks, urged his fellow grangers to labor more diligently for the advance? ment of their great cause, knowing that the grangers oud farmers are the great pillars that uphold the national edifice. Upon the whole, the day was one peculiarly interest? ing and instructive to all present. 3. E. MEETING AT SEEEARD'S STOBE. Sherard's Stoee, Nov. 2,1877. This being an adjourned meeting from the Railroad meeting held October 11 last, J. H. Reid, Esq., assumed the Chair, and J. T. Barnes acted as Secretary. After an explanation of the objects of the meeting from the Chairman, Col. J. C. C. Featherston addressed the meeting in a for? cible and convincing arguments in favor of subscribtion by taxation for the Savannah Valley Railroad. Hon. W. C. Brown, J. P. Prichard, Col. E. M. Rucker, President J. M. Latimer and J. T. Barnes also made able and elaborate addresses. Capt. D. L. Hall offered the following, which was unanimously adopted: We, the citizens of Dark Corner township, in meeting assembled in behalf of the Sa vgnnah Valley Railroad enterprise, do re? solve to vote a tax in said township in be? half of said Road, in the sum of $30,000. Resolved, That the minutes of this meet? ing be published in the Anderson papers. J. H. REID, Chm'n. J. T. Babnes, Secretary. HOPEWELL. Our horses are having something like epizooty.W. A. Neal's increased custom has forced him to attach a second gin to his engine.Homo would be thankful to gin ners and evaporators for statistics.We were proud to see the essay of our neighbor, W. W. Russell, on "Railway Transporta? tion," as read before the State Grange and Agricultural Society recently held in An? derson, reproduced in the Husbandman, pre? faced with this pertinent remark : "a young farmer of South Carolina, who has attained deserved eminence as a skilful 1 manager hi farm affairs.".The sale of the Sunday School Missionary corn took place as an? nounced, and was an enjoyable occasion. Five hundred and sixteen grains were plant? ed, which produced near six and a half bushels, or eleven ounces per grain. The miniature farming proves that a small farm well tilled will yield paying results, and that "labor itself is pleasure. It teaches also a moral lesson: that a litttle help from all will sustain a great enterprise. EONEA PATH. Cotton has been coming in pretty freely for two weeks past. Most of it goes to the Guano Cos. It would be a good idea if the farmers could make more guano at home and depend less upon those Northern or foreign made. Messrs. Robert Cummins & Son are turning their attention in this way, and they will, without doubt, make it pay them.The Greenville and Columbia Rail? road is getting out some new passenger en? gines, and it will now be in order to run tri-weekly passenger trains over the road. By its high rates of freight the cotton has been driven off, and why not run trains so that the passengers will follow? Let'em go.Mr. M. Erwin got the blue ribbons on his cow and calf at the Abbeville County Fair last week. He now proposes to take them to the State Fair. GIN HOUSE AND SAW MILL BURNT. Belton, 8. C. Nov. 6, 1877. Editor Anderson Intelligencer: About four o'clock p. m. to-day a fire broke out in the cotton gin and saw mill of Dr. W. C. Brown at this place. The entire building, with all its contents, except one gin, was totally destroyed. The general belief is that it is the work of an incendiary. At present we cannot ascer? tain the exact amount of losses. The most important facts connected with the matter have not yet been obtained. BELTON. SAVANNAH DEMOCRATIC CLUB. Savannah Township Democratic Club will meet at Hampton Hall (Evergreen) on Saturday, 17th inst., at 9J o'clock a. m. Im? portant business will be brought before the Club, and a full attendance is earnestly re? quested. E. J. EARLE, President. HAMPTON GRANGE.

The reason why only one sample bottle of Merrelx'b Hepatine for the Liver will be sold to the same person, for ten cents, by our Druggists, Simpson, Reid & Co., is be? cause of the enormous expense of import? ing the Hepatine into this country; but as there are fifty doses in the large size bottles, it seems two cents per dose is cheap enough after all for a medicine that cures dyspepsia and liver complaint. All who have not had u sample bottle are entitled to one for ten cts, at Simpson, Reid & Co.'s Drug store. Three doses relieves any case of dys? pepsia, constipation, indigestion or liver complaint, in the world, Regular size bot? tles, fifty doses, $1.00, THE FORT!"
