His many . friends in this community are glad that he could not be induced to leave Anderson. ? We arc indebted to Hon. D.

The attention of our Democratic Clubs is called to the fact that a number of the poor? est members of our clubs went to Columbia last year at the time men were called for to sustain our struggling government, and paid their own expenses, which, they were not able, to do in justice to themselves. ' These expenses should be returned to such , men by their respective clubs, where it has not been already attended to. It has been neglected too tong now, and should be promptly looked alter by each club. Mrs. SaBie Fant, relict of the late Alfred Fant, died at her-residence below Belton, in this County, oh Monday, the' 3rd instant. - Mrs. Fant was 67 years of age, and though advanced in years, was active and in usual health until a short time before her death. She had 'been, a consistent member of the Baptist Church for about 24 years, and died ?4n the full hope of the realization of her faith. She leaves eight sons and daughters who, in common with a host of relatives and friends, mourn the death of her whom all who knew her loved. Rev. J. C. Hudson, a regularly authorized agent for the collection of bonds due Fur man University, and the interest on them, is in Anderson for the purpose of collecting the amounts due upon the bonds subscribed to the endowment of the University by citizens of this County. The Furman Uni? versity is doing a great work in the cause of I . education, and. is. the only institution of J kerning of high order in South Carolina which offers tuition free. We hope that all persons will try to meet their obligations to this University, and by so doing give it the ivristsnce they hare promised. CBO0KSD WHISKEY. United States Deputy Marshal F. A. Dan - * iels, with two or three assistants, arrested three dealers in crooked whiskey in the Fork portion of this Comity, and started with thorn to Anderson, on last Thursday, with their wagon and some whiskey in kegs. On the way a portion of Mr. Daniels' assist? ants dropped behind, and after traveling a short distance, the prisoners drew pistols and shot at one of the assistants, who ran precipitately, leaving Mr. Daniels by him? self and at the mercy of the two desperate characters who were his prisoners. They I disarmed him and told him they would j come no further with him, bot would make him a present of th eir whiskey, which {hey j directed him to remove from the wagon. He did this, and they then turned their wagon and left in haste for Georgia. Every good citizen ought to seek to stop this un? lawful traffic, and these wagons should not be allowed to infest any community. If they will persist in traveling through this County, we hope that all good citizens will assist, as lar as possible, hereafter, in arrest? ing and bringing them to punishment.

On last Saturday evening theplanet Venns, which is at its greatest eastern elongation, and in its most brilliant phase, presented a very interesting sight to those who watched its passage of the moon. At a little before eight o'clock the planet was observed to be rapidly ap? proaching the young moon, and soon ap? peared to be resting upon the opaque out? line of that body, and gradually sank down? ward until the bright planet appeared to rest for a short time upon the upturned horn of our earth's satelite. The sight was as beautiful as any astronomical view we have ever witnessed, and by slow degrees passed off as the bright planet dropped on downward to the Western horizon, and left the moon far behind it. In more northern, latitudes the planet passed entirely behind the moon's surface, and disappeared from view, producing an eclipse of Venus, or what astronomers would term an occula tion of Venns, but in this latitude the star only described a tangent to the moon, and was only partially obscured from vision. This phenomenon is of very rare occur- j rence. THE USURY LAW. The discussion of the Usury Law has brought out a portion of the Anderson dele? gation in the House of Representatives. In the debate on last Saturday, Dr. W. C. Brown obtained the floor, and advocated the passage of the bill: He proved that, from the earliest ages up to the present time, those countries which had adopted usury laws had been the most prosperous. His speech was short, ani? mated, argumentative, solid and abounded in common, practical, good sense. It was rhetorical, and he enforced his views of the important question by a systematic arrange? ment of many tacts of historical truths per? tinent to the question. He drew an accu? rate picture of our State from the time of the revolution until reconstruction, when the rate of interest was limited, and con? trasting it with . our . deplorable financial . condition at present, drew the self-evident inference and conclusion that the usury law did not do us any harm in the days of our highest prosperity, and also that the repeal of the law had by ne means brought about the anticipated flood of riches so confidently expected by the money-lender. He main? tained that the repeal of the "usury law," the passage of the famous "lien law" and the "Black Code" occurred about the same time, and were not the result of mature de? liberation, but that the legislators at that time were in a manner dazed and stunned by the misfortunes which had overtaken them. He contended that the most civil? ized and enlightened nations of the earth had always had laws of this kind, and they were regarded as the best of scientific politi? cal economy. The most celebrated rulers of the world's history were of the same opinion; for instance, Moses, Justinian, Queen Elizabeth, James the First and others, and the rate of interest wos reduced to reasonable amounts. He concluded by saying that the tendency and natural result of the legislation of the recent post was to build up one part of our people and pull down another?to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. Capt. It. W. Simpson also advocated the bill In a very strong argument: He said he was not willing that the peo? ple of South Carolina should be governed by the views and idle speculations of vis? ionary theorists. I contend that if we pass this bill that not only would the planter, the merchant, and the mechanic prosper, but the whole people would prosper. The opponents of the bill are proceeding on a false basis. We want money, but do not want to pay exorbitant rates for it There -is no danger of money not coming here if we pass the law, for even then wc will pay a higher rate of interest than is paid iu many States. The system which we have pursued since the war is ruinous. In our poor, distracted, disturbed country we have no real prosperity. It is all a mere bubble, a delusion, a mistake. The opponents of the bill say it won't make any difference whether this law is passed or not, and yet they are making strenuous exertions to pre? vent its passage. During Mr. Simpson's speech, the horn* for adjournment arrived, and the House adjourned until 11 o'clock Monday.. When the House met on Monday Mr. R W. Simpson, who held the floor on Satur? day, continued his argument in favor of the bill: He said those who had advocated the the? ories of visionary political economists and false theorists did not believe the arguments which they bad advanced; they did not con? form to the evidences of their senses. Money [is harder to get new than for six or seven years past Talk about banks! I know a man who, a short time ago, went to a bank to borrow a small amount of money and presented the very best collaterals, but the bank refused to lend him the money. A merchant, coming a few minutes later, took the same collaterals and borrowed all the money he wanted, bnt be was forced to pay the most exorbitant rate of interest. Talk about theories 1. Why, our whole country is languishing on account of the enormous rate of interest which our people have to pax for money. I do not claim that if we pass the bill it will benefit only one class of the community, but that the planter, the merchant, the mechanic and the prpfesional man will all be benefltted. The present sys? tem of money lending and borrowing is a disastrous one, and if not abolished will eventually sink the whole State in bank? ruptcy. Mr. Orr followed in favor of the bill. He confined himself to the consideration of banks and banking institutions, and how they would be affected by the passage of the usury law. He said that all national banks doing business in South Carolina would be as much bound by the law as private bank? ing houses. SLABTOWH. As the contributions of your localists seem to be perused by your readers with much interest, permit me, as an itinerant, to present a few "dots" occasionally from portions of the County to which my busi? ness may call meTo-night fiuds me in S labt own, a section of as great notoriety, perhaps, as any in the State. So fertile is the soil- of 81abtown, so varied and com? plete are its social and religious advantages, and so intellectual and moral are its citi? zens, that it has attained a celebrity analo? gous to the settlements of our primogenitors along the Atlantic. Time, in its despotic course and the demoralizing effects of war, have wrought jnany potent changes in Slabtown. Many of the elite, who once lent it so many charms, so much of its beauty and grace, have left the County and even the State, to enlist under different ban? ners in the great conflict of life. However, a few yet remain to drown the cares and anxieties of life, and to inspire the youthful knight in life's drama, with virtue and pa? triotism, and to possess sterling qualities of worth.Another manifest change in Slabtown has reference to its educational advantages. In the palmy days of South Carolina, Slabtown was the Athens of the upper part of the State. Many of the most eminent men in the Southern States owe most of their greatness to the knowledge and mental training which tbey received while at the old academy under Rev. John L. Kennedy. Since then, with one or two exceptions, the schools here have been of but little consequence. However, an effort b now being made to establish a permanent high school, of the first grade, here, where both sexes may receive a liberal education. The services of a classical scholar and suc? cessful instructor, who proposes to open the school on i lie first Monday in January, 1878, have been secured.Messrs. John M. Glenn & Co., and J. M. Smith, mer? chants, seem to be getting a fair trade, and cash goods may be had from them at very low figures..The farmers in this section are generally through sow g wheat. Act? ing upon a suggestio^made in the Grange, a number of farmers, about twenty; have agreed to see how many bushels of wheat tbey can grow upon one acre, by high fer? tilizing ; the most successful one to receive one bushel from each of the others. VIR. We would ask attention to the advertise? ment in which Col. J. J. Norton oners val? uable land in Oconee County for salev HO NE A PATH. The farmers are making great efforts to finish sowing wheat. The area promises to be a small increase over last year..Hogs, lots of hogs, at 6 cents per pound gross, but they don't sell fast..Mr. Simpson's friends hereabouts are pleased to hear of his promotion to the chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives.Dr. T. A. Hudgens, is having a merry time in Columbia, as Foreman of Jury No. 1, TJ. S. District Court. If he don't get home for Christmas dinner, it won't be his fault..J. L. Brock, paid freight on two sets of buggy wheels from Cincinnati, Ohio, to Greenville, $1.40, and from Greenville to this place, $1.80..A distressing accident, resulting in the death of a little daughter of Galloway Lollis?aged nine years?occurred on Sunday afternoon last, in this neighborhood. It appears that Mrs. Lollis had gone a short distance for a bucket of water, leaving her daughter in the house, and before getting the water she heard the screams of the .unfortunate child, and looking towards the house, saw her running, the dames completely enveloping her. Dr. Cheshire was sent for and arrived soon after the accident, and found that her burns were too serious and that nothing could save the life of the poor little unfortu? nate. In a few hours death relieved her of all her pains. In his efforts to save the child, Mr. Austin had his hands severely burned. A Gentle Hint. In our style of climate, with its sudden changes of temperature?rain, wind and sunshine often intermingling in a single day?it is no wonder that our children, friends and relatives are so frequently taken from us by neglected colds, half the deaths resulting directly from this cause. A bottle of Boscbee's German Syrup kept about your i home for immediate use will prevent serious sickness, a large doctor's bill, and perhaps death, by the use of three or four doses. For curing Consumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Croup or any disease of the Throat or Lungs, its success is simply wonderful, as your druggist will tell you. German Syrup is now sold in every "town and village on this continent. Sample bottles for trial, 10c., regular size, 75c. A Tery Good Reason. The reason why only one sample bottloof Mesrell'b Hepatihs for the Liver will be sold to the same person, for ten cents, by our Druggists, Simpson, Heid & 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 a 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. IIYMEXEVL. MARRIED, on the 4th December, 1877, 6y Rev. R. H. Reid, Mr. JOHN D. SMITH, of Spartanburg, S. C, and Miss IDA N. ANDERSON, eldest daughter o' R. H. An? derson, of Anderson County, S. C. On the 4th of December instant, by Rev. W. P. Martin, at his residence, Mr. N. C. DACUS and Miss C. E. ROGERS, daughter of. Jacob Rogers. AH of Anderson County. OBITUARY. Captain WM. W. TOWNS was bom in Greenville County, near Grove Station, Sep? tember 4th, 1800, and died at his home, about four miles south of Bel ton, October 25 th, 1877. He removed to Anderson Coun? ty about the year. 1826, and lived with his parents in the upper portion of it until 1832, when he was married to Miss Chloe Clink scales, and took up his residence at the home where he died. Gapt. Towns was gifted with a peculiarly, happy disposition, which ever endeared him to his neighbors and friends, and rendered him popular with his associates. He was a kind and devoted husband and father. Some of his children had preceded him to "that bourne from whence no traveler has ever yet returned;" and although Captain Towns had never connected himself with the Church, he died in the possession of a sweet hope of meeting his loved ones in a, better land beyond the skies. During his' last illness he more than once expressed his willingness to meet death, and seemed per? fectly resigned to the will of God. He leaves a widow to mourn the loss of a dear husband and a son and daughter grieve for a departed father. But they bow in meek submission to the will of the Almighty Father, humbly waiting for the reunion in that Home above. T. O. F. WEITERS, WHOLESALE GBOCEB AND COMMON MERCHANT, Nos 110, 112 and 118, EAST BAY STREET, CHARLESTON, S- C. Oot 4, 1877 12 Sm BLOOD. THE BLOOD is the most important of all subjects, in connection with disease; for if it is impure, health is impossible. How important, then, that this beautiful crimson "liquid flesh," should be free from all impurities, that it be neither too thick nor too thin, too light nor too dark, but that it be pure, healthy, rich, life-giving, and life-sustaining. If the blood become thin and impoverished, its condition is manifes? ted throughout the whole system, and it is the fruitful source of pimples, ulcers, sore eyes, erysipelas, boils, carbuncles, ringworm, salt-rheum, and eruptions of all kinds. Rheumatism ami-gout will attack the limbs and peuetrate the joints." If it becomes too thick, or loaded with impurities, the smaller blood vessels wiil be clogged, and apoplexy, paralysis or congestion will result. For the purification of the blood, science has not as yet discovered a medicine to equal Sihmoks' Hepatic Compound, or Liver Cure. For sale at wholesale and retail by SIMP? SON, REID & CO..
