RAILROAD MEETING.
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.

J. L. Crumley, which occurred t,t his resi?

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

A full meeting is desired, as it is probable
that delegates to the County Convention
will be chosen at this meeting.A much
needed shower of lain visited this section on
Monday last. Crops are in good condition
and looking well.The farmers are busy
harvesting wheat, and though the yield will
not be as great as last year, it promises to be
over an average crop.It is about time for
the crop of Spring chickens to be moving,
though no positive information can be
given on the subject, as the spider from

little girl ten or twelve years of age, and a
member of the Presbyterian Sunday School
at tkis place, recited perfectly tliree hiuidred

competing for a valuable and beautiful copy
of the Bible, and will doubtless win it. Her
name is Mattie McCarlcy.The exercises
of the first session of Prof. Verner's school
at this place ceased with a public examina?
tion on last Friday. The proficiency of the
pupils as shown by thorough and rigid
questioning was highly creditable to teacher
and pupils alike. After an interval of two
weeks the second session will begin.An
efficiently officered and otherwise attractive
literary club is conducted at Tugalo Acade?

township, and we learn, with pleasure, that
the-citizens of that community, who being
rather remote from Churches, will meet at
the Academy next Sunday afternoou, the
9th inst., at 3 o'clock, to organize a Union
Sunday School. There is a large number
of young people in that vicinity, and it is
safe to predict that an interesting school
will soon be in progress there.
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. Dale ; "Cruikshank," by Frederick

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.

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. Its sales now reach every town on the
Western Continent, and not a Druggist but
will tell you of its wonderful cures. You
can buy ? Sample Bottle for 10 cents. Three
doses will relieve you.
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. Those afflicted with Biliousness
and Liver Complaint should use Merrell's
Hepatine. It can be had from Simpson,
Reid & Co.
Tribute of Respect.

ion No. 1, Sons of Temperance, held May
30, the following preamble and resolutions
were unanimously adopted :
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God

the esteem in which we held our deceased
brother; therefore,

mission to the Divine Will, we deplore the
death of our brother Langston, and tender
our sincere sympathies to the bereaved fam?
ily.
Resolved, That a page in our minute book
be dedicated to his memory, and inscribed
with his name, date of birth and date of
death.
Resolved, That the Recording Scribe be in?
structed to furnish the family of our de?
ceased brother with a copy of this preamble
and these resolutions, and that they be pub?
lished in the Anderson Journal and Ander?
son Intelligencer.

"ALWAYS AHEAD."
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

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 *

LATELY patented is the best and most
economical that can be used. It con?

so that the Coffee or Tea is free from dregs,
and is stronger and better than that made
of the same quantity in any other pot.
Having purchased the right for this Coun?

prepared to furnish it to my customers at
the most reasonable rates. I will also keep
in stock the
Improved Farmer's Boiler,
Which is the best thing known for boiling
stock food, clothes, or scalding hogs. 1
will sell these at manufacturer's prices.
