On last Monday morning some of the citizens of the town of Anderson who ore opposed to the Savannah Valley Railroad calle J a meeting in the Court House to dis eui? the subject, and Col. J. N. Brown was called to the chair. On assuming the chair Col. Brown stated that the meeting had been called to consider tha subject of taxing the people to build the Savannah Valley Railroad, by some of the citizens .who are opposed to the measure. That it was in -tended to discuss the subject so as to call ' S the intention of the people to the subject bo as to enable them to moke up their minds upon it, and to initiate thought which woud fully advise the people. He then declared the meeting ready for business, after which J. L. Triable, Esq., was elected Secretary. . O. H. P. Font, Esq., then offered the fol? lowing resolutions, which were seconded by Copt W.8.Sbarpe: Resolved, That It is the sense of this meet? ing that the incurring a large bonded debt at this time to aid in the construction of the Savannah Valley Railroad is unwise, and wonld be injurious to the material interests and prosperity of the County. Resolved, That the policy of incurring bonded bebt for our towiis, cities and coun? ties, entailing high taxes, should not be! resorted to except in cases where it is evi? dent beyond the contingency of a doubt, that the benefits to be derived iroin it will amply compensate the outlay. Resolved, That the material interests and prosperity of the County demand a low rate of taxation and a return to the economical policy of our government and people in antfrbellnm days. Col. Rucker suggested that the resolutions '?, . be voted upon by sections, whereupon the first resolution was read. Capt. S. M. Pegg stated that he would like to hear the reason for the resolution. CoL Brown said that he opposed the road, and favored the resolution, because he was - opposed to debt. He did not like debts as ^ Counties, towns or individuals. They are bad thjngs. It is easy enough to get into debt, but it is hard to get out of it This road proposes to put a debt on. the people without giving any adequate return. He did not believe if the amount asked was voted from the town and townships, that it would not complete the road, and if it was completed that it would not pay the expense of running it, and if it did pay it would be a disadvantage to the town. The connection with Augusta wou'd take from us our trade from a large section of coun? try. The roads, we now have do not pay. The South Carolina road is on the verge of J bankruptcy. Tho Wilmington, Columbia <fc Augusta road is in the hands cf a re? ceiver, the Charlotte road is greatly em? barrassed, the Air Line Road has been sold out, and tho Greenville & Colombia road cannot pay the interest on its bonded debt. The Savannah Valley road wonld not bean exception. Its prospects would even be wore than these others, because its territo . Ty would be circumscribed by the Greenville A Columbia, the Greenwood, the Air Line and the boats on the Savannah river. If | built, it would oot do us any good, because freights are"as cheap or cheaper at Central than they are in Augusta, and yet they talk about building a road to Augusta to get cheap freights. This is a peculiar time. Money is scara:, and if the bonds were is? sued they would sell very low. Greenville and Spartonbnrg bond* sold at about 52 cents on the dollar, and that is about what . theos bonds would bring if thr own on the mantet He believed that if the people voted the subscription they would have, to pay the tax and then not get any railroad. At the conclusion of Col. Brown's speech Mr. J. E. Breazeale asked him several ques tiouj with a view of developing the subject more fully. Capt Sharps followed and opposed the road, because it was bad policy and not right He' did not believe in one man voting away another's property. He want* ed to know if it was proposed to make this town a joint stock company and issue shares according to the taxes paid by each man. If so, they ought to divide it out and give every man as many votes on - this subject as be would have shares. Ho said this movement has a wave of communism in it If it could build .the read it would | sat pay. A. connection with Ute Air Line Road would he better. He objected to this manner of building railroads, because it was introduced by the Radicals, and be? cause of the class of people who ore allowed to vote for it He did not like the prece? dent He did not know much about rail? roads, but he thought Anderson was as well situated as most towns, and wu bad better let well enough alone. If we build this road it will cat off oar trade. Cotton is like a duck. It will seek the nearest water and go to Augastav It will depreciate property, lower rents, ic It will add two hundred per cent to our town taxes for twenty years. We hod better think about it Capital will not come here. The owners of personal property, banks, &c., will move out of town, and instead of J building up we will go down. Judge Reed favored the resolution, and opposed the road. He did not propose to argue it but would give a few reasons. The road would not benefit Anderson. It would build up towns to take away our trade. If the road was built it would not pay, and in all probability it would result in breaking down both itself and the Green? ville road, leaving us nothing but the dirt road. He was afraid we are coming to this anyway. We ought to turn our energies to the Blue Ridge Railroad and secure its com? pletion, and then build the road from here by Abbeville and Aiken to Port Royal. This would give the town of Anderson an outlet which would be profitable. The proposed road would not pay. because the boats on the Savannah River would de? prive it of a great deal of freight. More? over, Congress has mode an appropriation to surv?y the river, with a view of render? ing it navigable, and if that should be done it would absolutely destroy any chance of | ibis road paying the running expenses. He ?was opposed to the town going into debt for ?a rood which would not pay, and would like to hear the reasons of th jse who advo? cate the rood. Dr. P. A. Wilbite asked several pointed ?questions, developing strong arguments for the proposed road. Mr. E. B. Murray then announced him? self as in favor of the road, and of building it by taxation, to be voted upon by the towns and townships through which the road posses. He was not in favor of voting the mor-ey unconditionally, so as to have it probably wasted by means of its inade? quacy for the purpose to which it is given, but was in favor of giving it to be condi? tioned upon the completion of the read, or cn some other reasonable terms. As to what the bonds would sell at, the tax? payers were not interested, for they would subscribe to get the road, and their bonds would not be sold unless enough was raised to insure the road. If they got the road they would then have the article for which they bargained, and the price of bonds would have nothing U> do with the proprio ty of the trade. It was simply a question as to whether the road would be worth fifty thousand dollars to the town or not. If it would, the tax ought to be voted; if it would uot, the tax should not be voted. H* believed it would pay. By the new road competition would iorce a reduction of the rates of freight over the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. The fact that freights are high in Augusta does not show that the connection would not be & good one for Anderson, for freights- were cirried through Augusta to Charleston from At? lanta cheaper than to Augusta. The same would be true of Anderson with the new road. The Savannah Valley Railroad would combine with the Georgia R >ad to bring freights from Atlanta and thu West to Anderson cheaper than the Air Line and the Greeaville and Columbia Road. It would combine with the Charlotte and Augusta Road to bring them from the North cheaper than the Air Line and the G. <fc C. This would afford us competition, which would reduce our freights very ma? terially. It would pay because the cotton, groceries, <tc., which would go and come over the road would run it with economical management. It is a better line for Ander? son than the Port Royal Road, because that road would be of as great advantage to Ab? beville is to Anderson, and would build iutermediate towns also. He said that if the Savaanah is to be made navigable this road is a necessity to Anderson, for steam? boats build up towns the same as railroads, and if they should run on the river we must have a railroad here to- give us the advantages of competition. He claimed that this, road would bring back a great deal of the trade of Anderson, and save the town and county about fifteen thousand dollars in freight on cotton alone, and that it would pay us in a great many other ways. Col. Brown replied, contending that this i road could not bring back our trade, as it would not cross the river nor the Air Line road to get here, and that the people of towns who have tried building railroads by taxation?as Greenville and Spartanburg? were tired of their subscriptions. Capt A. T. Broyle3 next spoke, saying there were two things be hated?one was the Greenville Railroad, and the other was Gen. Grant He was in favor of this road because it would give us competition with the Greenville road, which has been op? pressing our people for many years. He had not heard thu resolution read, but from what he had beard of it he was oppo? sed to it He "had not had the pleasure of hearing the reasons of the gentlemen favor? ing it, and thought this meeting was a sur? prise. It had been called without notice ?on Saleday when the people of the town were busy and not expecting it. It should take no action. It ought not to attempt to forestall public opinion. He favored a full discussion. He, too, was opposed to voting a subscription without guarding carefully against loss to the people. This should be done. He liked the temper of Col. Brown's opposition. Thought his propositions were fair, and was willing to discuss them, and leave it to the people to decide upon. He dwelt upon the necessity for the town of Anderson to do something to better its present condition, and urged forcible rea? sons why the building of this read would benefit the town. Capt W. D. Evins spoke next, and al? though he objected to the person! who were allowed to vote, he was not willing to throw this enterprise off entirely. He thought something should be done to build up our town, and perhaps this was the most available one which presenvs itself. The resolutions were then vdthdrawn, and the meeting adjourned, subject to the call of the chairman. DEATHS. We regret to announce the death of Dr. J. L. Crumley, which occurred t,t his resi? dence in Anderson on Friday tue 31st day of May last Dr. Crumley was born on the 30th of May, 1804, in Buncombe County, N. C, but when quite small his parents re? moved to Kentucky, in which State he studied and practiced medicine. In 1837 he professed religion, and studied for the ministry, acquainting himself thoroughly with the Scriptures and participating in the proclamation of the Gospel. A severe throat and lungs affection, however, pre? vented his making the ministry or medi? cine his profession, and he was compelled, on account of his health, to enter other pursuits.. In 1843 he married, and two [ years la; ir removed to this State and lived here until 1853, when he went to Ashville, } N. C, and lived there until 1800, when he returned to this County to spend the re? mainder of bis years. For a number of years after the war, until his health com? pletely failed, he wa? United States Com? missioner for this County. During the past six or eight years he has been confined to his house most of the time, and to bis bed for a very large part of the time. He was patient throughout his entire illness, and4hocgh he soffered immensely, he died peacefully hi the faith which had been strong for more than forty yea nr. He was an upright and conscientious man, whose death will be regretted by many relatives and friends. Ou Saturday morning his remains were interred in the Presbyterian Church Yard, after a beautiful tribute to the deceased from Rev. D. E. Friersou. Mr. Conrad Wakefield died at his resi? dence in Abbeville County last week, after an illness of several months. He was for? merly a citizen of Anderson County, and has many friends and acquaintances in it who will hear with deep regret of his de? mise.

His remains were interred in the Church? yard ol the First Creek Baptist Church, of which the deceased bad been long a mem? ber. We regret to announce the death ef Mr. Lemuel Hall, an aged and respectable citi? zen of this County, which occurred at his residence some thirteen miles from Ander? son about the middle of hut week. Mr. Hall was in bis ninetieth year, and had been enjoying good health lor a man of his years almost up to the very time of his death, which was sudden an 1 unexpected. He was an honorable and upright man, who through a long life had won for him? self the confidence and respect of his neigh? bors. He was interred near his residence by the side of the grave of his wife, who had preceded bin about two years. Rev. V. Young died sudder ly at his resi? dence near Liberty, in Pickens County, on last Monday. He was a minister of the Baptist Church, and for man}' years resided in Abbeville County, until his removal to Pickens County a few years s: nee. He was well known to the people of Anderson County, and was highly respited by all of his acquaintances. He wa: an upright, earnest and consistent man, ..hose death is regretted by a very large number of friends and acquaintances.

It is a very cheap soap, and will wash fabrics of any kind in a most thorough manner, removing grease, paint, and even winter's ink. Mr. Massey owns the Coun? ty right, aud will dispose of portions of it by townships, or will sell family rights. The Flat Rock Democratic Club will meet at 2 o'clock p. m. on Saturday, the 29th of June inst., at Flat Rock. The ladies, as well an the men of the township, are re? quested to attend this meeting. Gen. W. W. Humphreys will address the Club, and mat ' ten of importance will be presented for ac? tion. Delegates to the County Convention ?ill be elected, and a full meeting is hoped for. We have been informed that the para? graph from the Press and Banner about Maj. Whitner has induced the opinion that be declines to be a candidate foi the Senate in this election. Such is not the case. He de? clines at present to enter the canvass, but later in the campaign he may consent to I nip. We make the correction because we do not wish to produce a false impression as to the matter, We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Ann Rogers, widow of the late John P. Rogers, which occurred at her residence near Williamston on last Friday, the 31st of May. Mrs. Rogers was sick but a short time, having been taken ill only on the Wednesday preceding her death. She was highly esteemed by those who knew her, and her death is mourned by a number of relatives and friends.

[The entertainment will be given on the I evenings of the 20th and 21st of June inst. From the experience and past success of the ladies who have this entertainment in charge, the people of Anderson may rely upon very pleasant evenings if they go out to see "The Haymakers." At a meeting of the members of the Pres? byterian Church at this place, on last Fri? day morning, it was resolved to build a new house of worship, to leplace the present edifice, which is too small to accommodate the congregations which attend religious services there. The necessary means are being rapidly raised, and it is expected that the construction of the new Church will be? gin very soon. It will probably be a hand? some and commodious brick structure. Telephonic experiments continue in An? derson. Mr. J. A. Daniels bos the most j successful one from his office on the square to his residence one or two hundred yards distant.

The June number of the Eclectic Jlayazine contains the index to the half-yearly vol? ume, which exhibits more strikingly than a single number could the exceeding richness ana variety of the literature that is gather? ed into this sterling periodical. Here are enumerated upwards of eighty articles, no one of which is unworthy of its place in a magazine of the first class, and which, ta? ken together, furnish a vast amount of in? structive and entertaining reading. The leading paper of the June number is a very valuable one on "The Americans in Tur? key," showing that while other nations are wrangling and fighting over the Turks and their subjects, the Americans have been civilizing them. Few even of our own peo? ple have any idea of the character and ex? tent of the work which American mission? aries have done and are doing for Turkey, Next to this the most striking paper is a most interesting discussion of the doctrine of "Future Punishment," by eight promi? nent English clergymen and theologians. Other articles are: "Some Thoughts on De? sign in Nature," by Andrew Wilson; "Im? pressions of American Society," by Rev. R. W.

C. t liwK Mills, June 1, 1878. Mr. Editor: Many conflicting reports perhaps have gone out respecting the coses of hydrophobia or rabid animals in this township. Such being the case, the writer has been requested to give the fads as fur as possible concerning it. ?Sunday morning, March 24th, a large bull-dog, belonging to Mr. Hiram Majors, made his appearance in the immediate neighborhood of Providence Church, and during the day and night bit in the sur? rounding community twenty or twenty-five dogs and stock. Difference of opinion pre? vailed as to whether he was really a mad dog or not. He was confined, however, and died the following Friday. Mr. S. J. Barrett and A. A. Bowie were bitten by this dog, but doubtless would not have been if he had not been molested, as he seemed to have no inclination to bite any person. I saw the dog before he was confined, and noticed signs of restlessness. He was easily disturbed by any sound. I saw him after? wards, and noticed sUght jerkings of the muscles. He refused to eat, but drank water greedily, and his eyes became much inflamed. Since that time about fifteen animals have been killed and died, some of which seemed to be quite harmless, while others had all the signs of real madness. Mr. Bowie and Barrett informed us that their dogs were friendly and remained so until killed or died. Mr. J. A. Stevenson had three young I dogs bitten, and after affected rambled about his place and attempted to bite dif? ferent members of bis family before he put them up. Mr. Stevenson has also lost three hogs on his place, two of which received bites from a hog that had been bitten by Major's dog. One of the bogs before being killed chased and bit a yearling, two hogs and attempted to do other mischief. The other one was confined before doing any damage, and I went to see it. Mr. Steven? son ordered a bucket of water, and placed it as near the hog as he dared go. The hog went up to it as if intending to drink, but the sight of the water produced several severe convulsions, accompanied with frightful squealing, attempting at the same time to bite the bucket. From the first I have been an eye witness in six cases, and noticed but little variation in the symptoms of each one. All seem to have difficulty in swallowing, heaviness in breathing, movement of the jaws, frothing at the mouth, and refuse to eat. Several other cases arc expected, but if our citizens will use proper precautions further damage might be prevented. J. F. ANDERSON. An Undeniable Truth. You deserve to suffer, and if you lead a miserable, unsatisfactory life in this beauti? ful woild, it is entirely your own fault, and there is only one excuse for you?your un? reasonable prejudice and skepticism, which has killed thousands. Personal knowledge and common sense reasoning will soon show you that Green's August Flower will cure you of Liver Complaint, or Dyspepsia, with all its miserable effects, such as sick headache, palpitation of the heart, sour stomach, habitual costiveness, dizziness of the head, nervous prostration, low spirits, &c.

Good Digestion. "Give us this day our daily bread" and good medicine to digest it, is both reverent and human. The human stomach and liver are fruitful sources of life's comforts: or, disordered and diseased, they tingle miser}' along every nerve and through every artery. The man or woman with good digestion see beauty as they walk, and overcome obstacles they meet in the routine of life, where the dyspeptic sees only gloom and stumbles and growls at even imaginary objects. -The world still needs two or three new kinds of medicine before death can be perfectly abol? ished ; but that many lives have been pro? longed, and many sruTerers from Liver dis? ease, Dyspepsia and Headache, have been cured by Merrell's Hepatine, is no longer a doubt. It cures Headache in twenty min? utes, and there is no question but what it is the most wonderful discovery made in med? ical science.

THE SINGER SEWING MACHINES ARE the Best, Simplest and most Dura? ble in use. It has been greatly im? proved in the last few months, although the old was very good. There are over six hun? dred of them in daily*'use in this County, S'ving perfect satisfaction. You may bay a [ochine, "so-calied," for less money, but if you want to be satisfied after you purchase, always get the best. This Company sell more than all the rest put together, and there are about fifty different Machines on the market. The Singer was the first to reduce the price, and of course the minors had to follow, and they had to come a little below the Singer, or else they would have to abandon business, for I know from experi? ence that parties say if you will take for the Singer what I can get another at, I will take the Singer all the time. What do they mean by that ? Cosh prices, $35, $40 and $45, owing to style and finish, but the Machines are the same throughout in the nice adjustment of their parts, &c. The best criterion that I can give you as to my opinion of the different machines, is my connection with this famous Machine for nine years in succession. Machines sold on cosy terms. Machines of all makes repaired at short notice, and prices moderate. Needles, Oil and parts al? ways on hand. Come and see me before you buy. Up-stairs, over Barr & Fant's Store. JOHN H. CLARKE, Agent Anderson and Pickens Counties. April 25, 1878 41_3m THE' WHITE Is the Easiest Selling, The Best Satisfying, SEWING MACHINE. ITS introduction and world-renowned reputation was the death blow to high priced machines. There are no second? hand White Machines ju the market. This is a very important matter, as it is a well knowu and undisputed fact that many of the so-called first-class machines which are offered so cheap nowadays are those that have been repossessed (that is, taken back from customers after use) and rebuilt and put upon the market as new. The White is the peer of any Sewing Ma? chine now upon the market. It is much larger than the family machines of the Singer, Howe and Weed make. It costs more to manufacture than either of the aforesaid machines. Its construction is simple, pc-itive and durable. Its work? manship is unsurpassed. jfSlr Do not buy any other before trying the White. Prices and terms made satis * factory. For sale by REDWINE & HORSEY. In the Counties of Greenville.
