These expenses should be returned to such men by their respective clubs, where it has not been already attended tn. It has been neglected too long now, and should be promptly looked after by each club.

On the way a portion of af r.

Th ?j. disarmed him and told him they would come DO farther with him, bot would make him a present of their whiskey, which fhoy directed him to remove from fhe wagon. He did this, and they than tamed their wagon and left In haste for Georgia. Every good citizen ought to seek to stop ida un lawful traffic, and these wagon? should not be allowed to infest any community. If they will persist lo traveling through this County, we hope that ail good citirena will assist, as tar ca possible, hereafter, in arrest ing and bringing them to punishment. DBiTtaiai BOAflp.

On last Saturday evening the ulknet Venn*, which b ot ila greatest eastern e1onge??or\ and in iU most brilliant phase, presented a very iutervating sight to those who watched ita passage of the moon. At a little before eight o'clock tho planet vrai observed to be rapidly ap proaching the young moon, and soon ap peared to be resting upon the opaque out line oftbat 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 aa any astronomical view we have ever witnessed, and by alow degicea passed off as the bright planet droped on downward to tho Western horizon, and left tho moon tar behind it. In more northern latitudes tho planet ixused entirely behind tho moon's surface, and disappeared from view, producing an eclipse of Venus, or what astronomers would term aa oscula tion of Venus, but in this latitude the star only described a tangent to tho moon, and was only partially obscured from vision. This phenomenon is of very rare occur rence. TH'S U8UBY LAW. Tho discussion of the Usury Law has brought out a portion of the Anderson dele gation in the House of Representatives. In the debate on la^t Saturday, Dr. W. C. Brown obtained the floor, and advocated the passage of tho bill : Ho proved that, from the earliest ages up to tho present time, those countries which had adopted usury laws had been the most prosperous. HIB speech was short, ani mated, argumentativ?, solid and abounded in common, practical, good sonso. It was rhetorical, and ho enfor: ed his views of the important question by a systematic arrange ment of many facts of historical truths per tinent to the question. He drew nu 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 Hood of riches so confident ly expected by the money-lender. Ho main tained that the reinad of tho "usury luw," tho passage of tho famous "lien law" and tho "Black Codo" occurred about tho 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 hud overtaken them. He contended that the most civil ized and enlightened nations of tho earth had always had laws of this kind, and thev were regarded us the best of scientific politi cal economy. The most celebrated rulers of the world's history were of the samo opinion ; for instance, Mose?, Justinian, Queen Elizabeth, James tho First and others, and tho rate of interest vivs reduced to reasonable amounts. He concluded by saying that the tendency aud natural result of the legislation of the recent past was to build up one part of our people* and pull down another-to make thc rich richer and the poor poorer. Capt. E. W. Simpson also advocated the bill in a very strong argument : He said ho was not willing that the peo ple of Soul!? Carolina should be governed by thc views and idle speculations of vis ionary theorists. I contend that if we pass this bill that not only would the planter, tho merchant, and the mechanic pcrapcr, but the whulo people would prosper. Tho opponents of tho 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 ?toney not coming iiere if we i)08S tho law, for even then we will pay a higher rate of ?nteres., than is paid in many States. Tho system which we have pursued since tho war is ruinous. In our poor, distracted, disturbed country we bave no rcs1, prosperity. It is all a m?re bubble, 1 a delusion, a mistake. Thc 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 veut its passage. During Mr Simpson's speech, the hour for adjournment arrived, and thc House adjourned until ll o'clock Monday. When tho House mot o*i Monday Mr. R W. 8impson, who held the floor on Satur day, continued his urgument in favor of the bill: He aiid those who had advocated the the ories of visionary political economists and false theorists did not believe the arguments which they had advanced ; they did not con form to the evidences of theirsenscs. Money is harder to get new than for six or seven years post. Talk about banks I I know a man who, a short time ago, went to a bank to borrow a small amount of money and ?resented the very best collaterals, but the bank refused to "lend him tito money. A merchant, coming a few minnta* later, took tho same collaterals and borrowed al." the money he wanted, but he waa forced to pay tbe most exorbitant rate of interest. Talk about theories 1 Why, our whole country Is languishing on account of tho enormous rate of interest which our people have to pay for money. I do not claim that if wc pass the bill it will benefit only one class of the community, but that the planter, the merchant, the mechanic and tho profesional man will all be benefitted. The present sys tem of money lending und borrowing ls a disastrous one, and if not abolished will eventually sink the whole State in bank ruptcy. Mr. Orr followed in favor of thc bill. He confined himself to the consideration ofl banks and banking institutiuns, and how ? they would bo affected by the passage ot* the j usury law. Ho said that all national banks I doing business in South Carolina would be as much bound by tho Jaw os private bank ing houses. BLABTOWH.

It appears that Mrs. Lollis had gone o short distance for a bucket of water, leaving her daughter in the house, and before getting tho water abe heard the screams of the .unfortunate child, and looking towards thc house, saw her running, the flumes completely enveloping her. Dr. Cheshire was sent for and arrived soon after the accident, and found that her burn." wore too serious and that nothing could save the lifo 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 '/?vorely bumed, A kentle Hint.

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 bottle? for trial, 10c., rcguiur size, 76c. A Very Hood Reason. The reason why only one sample bottloof MBBBKU.'B HKPATIKK for the Liver will bo sold to th? same person, for ten cents, by our Druggists, Simpson, Reid & Co., is be cause of tlie enormous expenso of import ing the Hupatino into this country ; but as there are fifty doses in the lurge size bottles, it seems two centa per dose is cheap enough after all for a medicine that cures dyspepsia and liver complaint. All who have not had a sample bottle ure entitled to one for ten ct?, at Simpson, Reid & Co.'?J Drug store. Three dosos relieves any caso of dys pepsia, constipation, indigestion or liver complaint, in the world. Rcguiur slzo bot tles, liftv doses, $1.00. HYnEKEAL. MARRIED, on the 4th December, 1877.

Martin, ot his residence, Mr. N. C. DACU8 and Miss C. E. ROGERS, daughter of. Jacob Rogers. All of Anderson County. OBITUARY. Captain WM. W. TOWNS was born in Greenville County, near Grove Station, Sep tember 4th, 1800, and died at his home, about four miles south ol Belton, October 25th, 1877. He removed to Anderson Coun ty ?bout thc year 1828; r.nd lived with his parents ir. tbs upper portion of it until 188% when he was murried to Misa Chloe Clink scales, and took up his residence at tho home where he died. Capt. Towns waa gifted with a peculiarly happy disposition, which ever endeared him to his neighbors and friends, and rendered him popular with his associates. He waa a kir.d and devoted iiusband and father. Some of his children had preceded him to "that bourne from w her cc no traveler hos ever yet returned;" and although Cuptain Towna had never connected iiii.-self with the Church, he died in the posseso'^" cf - sweet hope of meeting his loved ones in a_ better lund beyond thc skies. During his last illness he moro thar, euee expressed bia willingness to meet death, and seemed per fectly resigned to the will of God. He leaves a widow to mourn the loss of n dear husband and a son and daughter grieve for a departed father. Rut they bow in mock submission to tho will of the Almighty Father, humbly waiting for tho reunion in thnt Home above. T. O. F. WEITERS, WHOLESALE GEOCEE AND GOfflSSION MERCHANT; Non.
