RAJUtOAS HESTIHO.
Un last Monday morning some of the
ritiMns of the town of Anderson who are
opposed to the Saran nah Valley Railroad
railed a mealing in the Court House to dls
,-uiw the subject, aud Col. J. N. Urown was
called to the ohair. On assuming the chair
Col. Brown stated that the meetlvg had
been called to consider the subject of taxing
(he people to build the Savannah Valley
Railroad, by some of the citizens (who arc
opposed to the nieost're. That it was in
tended to discuss the subject so as to call
the attention of the people to the subject so
us to enable them to moke up their minds
upon it, and to initiate thought which
would fully advise the people. He then
declared the meeting ready for business,
after which J. L. Tribble, Esq., was elected
Secretary.
O. H. P. Faut, Esq., then offered the fol
lowing resolutions, which were seconded
hy Cant. W. S. Shame :
Resolved, That lt is the sense of this meet
ing that the incurring a large bonded debt
at this time to aid in tits construction of thc
Havannah Valley Railroad tx unwise, and
would be Injurious to the material int rest*
and prosperity of County.
Resolved, lliat the policy of incurring
bonded bebt for our towns, 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 hom it will
amply compensate the outlay.
Resolved, That tho material interests and
prosperity of the County demand a low rate
lr tijation and s return te tbs economical
polioy of our government and peoplo in
ante-bellum days.
Col. Bucker suggested that thc resolutions
^ voted upon by. sections, whereupon tho
that resolution was read. Capt. S. M. Pegg
stated that he would like to hear the reason
for the resolution.
Col. Brown said th~? ho opposed the road,
und favored the resolntlou, because he was
opposed to debt. He did not Uko debts as
Counties, towna or individuals. They are
bad tilings. It ia 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 tho amount asked was
voted from the town and township:), 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 bo a disadvantage to the town. Tho
connection with Augusta would 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 ot
bankruptcy. Tho Wilmington, Columbia
A Augusta road is in the hands of a re
ceiver, the Charlotte road ls greatly em
barrassed, the Air Line Road has been sold
out, and the Greenville & Columbia road
cannot pay the interest ou its bonded debt.
The Savannah Valley road wonld not bean
exception. Its prospects would even bc
worse than these ethers, because 't/i territo
ry would be circumscribed by the ?reen vi Ile
& Columbia, the Greenwood, th?. Air Lin?
and the boats on the Savannah river. Il
built, it would not do OM any good, beean*
freights are*as cheap or cheaper at Centra!
than they are in Augusta, and yet they tali
about building a road to Augusta to gel
cheap freights. This is a peculiar time
Money is scarce, and if the bonds were is
sued they would sell very low. Green viii?
and Siiartanbnrg honda sold at about 5:
cents on the dollar, and th?* is about wbal
those bonds would bring if thrown on th<
market. He believed that If tho pooph
voted the subscription they would have.tr,
pay the tax and then not get any railroad
At the conclusion of Col. Brown's speed
Mr. J. E. Breazenle asked him several quea
tiona with a view of developing the subjeci
more fully.
Capt. Sharpe followed and opposed th?
rota, because it was bcd policy and no
right. He did not believe in one mai
voting away another's property. He want
cd to know if it was proposed to -make th I
town a joint stock company and issm
shares according to the taxes paid by ead
man. If so, they ought to divide it on
and give every man as many votes on - thi
subject as he would have shares. Ho sah
this movement has a wave of communiai!
in it. If lt could build .the road it woufc
not pay. A connection with tho Air Lin
Road would be better. He objected to thi
inannor of building railroads, becan>e i
tras introduced by the Radicals, and be
cause of the class of people who are allowa
to vote for it. He did not like the prece
dent. Ho did not know much about rall
roads, but he thought Anderson was as wei
situated as most towns, and we had bette
let well enough alone. If we build thi
road it will cut off oar trade- Cotton j
like a duck. It will seek the nearest wate
and go to Auguste? It will deproclat
property, lower rents, Ac, It will add fcw
hundred per cent, to our town taxes fo
twenty years. Wo had better think abou
it. Capital will not coma here. Th
owners of personal property, banks, Ac
will move ont of town, and instead o
building up we will go down.
Judge Reed favored the resolution, an
opposed the road. He did not propose t
argue it, but would givo a few reason!
The road would not benefit Anderson. 1
Would build" up towns to take away nu
trade. IX the road was built lt would nc
pay, and in all .probability it would reaul
in breaking down both itself and the Greer
villa road, leaving us nothing but the dh
road. He was afraid we are coming to thi
anyway. We ought to tam our energies t
the Blue Ridge Railroad and secare its con
p?etlcn, and then build the road from bei
by Abbeville and Aiken to Port Roya
This would give ?he town of Anderson a
Outlet which would be orofltable. Th
proposed mad would not nay. because tl
boats on the Savannah *>.rer would di
??ivo ii v? m great nod Of "reigni. Mun
over, Congress has made an appropriate
to survey the river, with s view of rendel
lng it navigable, and if that should be dor
it would absolutely destroy any chance <
ibis road paving the running expenses. ; G
Wai opposed to the town going into debt fi
* road' which would not pay, and won1
like to hear the ressens of those who uin
?cato the road.
Dr. P. A. Wilhlto asked several pointe
?questions, developing strong arguments fl
the proposed road.
Hr. E. B. Murray then announced hie
self as in favor of the road, and of buiidii
it hy taxation, to be voted upon by tl
towns and townships through which tl
road posse?. He was not In favor of voth
the money unconditionally, so as to ha'
?t probably wasted by rr-wrns of Its toad
?macy ihr the purpose'to which lt is give
. bat was in favor af giving it to bs cone
.Honed upon tho completion of tho road,
<-n some other reasonable terms. As
what the bonds wonld sell st. the ta
payers were not interested, for they won
^anhsrririe to get th? road, and Ihfcir. hen
would nul bc subi unless enough was raised
to insure the road, if they got the ros J
they would then have tho article for which
they bargained, a.id thc price of bond
would have nothing to do with th? proprie?
ty of the trade. It ?aa simply a question
a? tu whether the ro?d would be worth fifty
thousand dollars to the town or not. If it
would, the tax ought tu be voted ; if it
would not, the tax should not be voted.
Ile believed lt would pay. By tito new
road competition would force a reduction
ol tho rates of freight over the Greenville
and Columbia Railroad. The (oct that
freights are high in Augusta does not show
that the connection would not be a good
one for Anderson, for freights- were carried
tl:rough Augusta to Cluu??atcn from At
lanta cheaper than to Augusta. The same
would be trun of Anderson with the new
road. The Savannah Valley Railroad
would combine with the Georgia Road to
bring freights from Atlanta and the West
to A ndo?von cheaper than the Air Une and
the Greenville and Columbia Road. It
would combine with the Charlotte and
Aug asia Road tu bring them from the
North cheaper than tho Air Line and inc
G. & C. This would afford us competition,
which would reduce our freights very ma
teriully. It would pay because thc cotton,
groceries, &c., 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 wouH be of as great advantage to Ab
beville as to Anderson, and would build
intermediate towns also. Ile said that if |
the Savannah ?B to bo made navigable this
road is a necessity to Anderson, for steam
boats build up towna the same as railroads,
and if they should run on the river we
uiust have a railroad here to give us the
advantages of competition. Ile claimed
._. .......LI t-_l-- 1-1-_. J
.ua. mta(ivuu TfGulU v.iiig unca ugicab u
of the trade of Anderson, and save the
town and county about fifteen thousand
dollars in freight on cotton alone, and that
<t would pay us in a great many other
ways.
Col. itrown replied, contending that this
road could not bring back our trade, as it
would net cross thc river nor tl'* Air Lin*
road to get here, and that the people of |
towns who have tried building railroads by
taxation-os Greenville and Spartanburg
were tbed of their subscriptions.
Capt. A. T. Broyles next spoke, eayine;
there were two things he hated-one was
the Greenville Railroad, and the other was
Gen. Grant. He was in favor of this road
because it would give us comp?tition with
tho Greenville road, which has been op
pressing our people for many years. He
had not heard the resolution read, but
from what he had heard of it he was oppo
sed to it. He bad not had the pleasure of
hearing the reasons of the gentlemen favor
ing it, and thought this meeting was a sur
prise. It hod been called without notice
on Salcday when the people of thc town
were busy and not expecting it. It should
take no action. It ought not to attempt to
forestall public opinion. He fuvorcd a full
discussion. Ho, too, was opposed to voting
a subscription without guarding carefully
against loss to the people. This should be
done. He ked the temper of Col. Brown's
opposition. Thought his propositions were
fair, and was willing to discuBs them, and
leave it to tho people to decide upon. He
dwelt upon tho necessity for the town of |
Anderson to do something to better its
present condition, and urged forcible rea
sons why the building of this road would
benefit the town.
Capt. W. D. Evins spoke next, and al
though he objected to the persons who were
allowed to vote, he was act willing to
throw this enterprise off entirely. He
thought soiucth'ng should done to build
up our town, and peril.., this was the
most available one which presents itself.
The resolutions were then withdrawn,
and tue meeting adjourned, subject to tho
caU of the chairman.

safe to predict that an interesting school
will soon be in progress there.
The June number of the Eclectic Magasine
contains the indox to the half-yearly vol

enumerated upwards of oighty articles, no
one of which ls 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 ls a very
valuable ono on "The Americans in Tur
key," chowing i?iai while oilier uaiiuua oro
wrangling and fighting over the Tu rt ( 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

Next to this tbs MOM striking paper is a
most interesting discussion of the doctrine
of "Future Punishment," by eight promi

Ma. EMIOR: Many conflicting reports
perlisi? bav? gone oui respecting the cases
ot hydrophobia or rabid animals in this
township. Such being the case, the writer
liss been requested to give the fac?* ss (ar as
possible concerning it.
Sunday morning, Masch 24th, a large
bull-dog, belonging to Mr. Hiram Majors,
Di?d? h'? appv?r?nco in thc immediate
neighborhood of Providence Church, and
during tho day and night hit In tho sur
rounding community twenty or twenty-iivo
doga and stock. Difference r ' ? ipinion pro
Tailed ss io whether he waa really a mad
dog or not. He wis confined, however,
and died the following Friday. Mr. 8. J.
Burrett and A. A. Bowie were bitten by this
dog, but doubtless would not have been If
ho had not boen molested, as be 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 hy any sound. I saw him after
wards, and noticed slight jerkings of the
muscles. He refused to eat, but drank
water greedily, and his eyes became much
inflamed.
Since, that time about fifteen animais have
been killed and died, rome of which seemed
to be quite harmless, while others had all
tho signs of real uMdness. Mr. Bowie and
Barrett informed us that their dogs were
friendly end remained so until hilled or
died. Mr. J. A. Stevenson had three young
dogs bitten, and after affected rambled
about bia place and attempted to bite dif
ferent members of his family before he put
them up. Mr. Stevenson hos also lost three
hogs on hia place, two of which received
bites from a hog that had been bitten by
Major's dog. Ono of tho hogs before being
killed chased and bit a yearling, two hogs
and attempted to do other mischief. The
other cae was confined tv-fore doing any
damage, and I went to see lt, Mr. Steven
son ordered a bucket of water, and placed
lt aa 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 tc bits the backet.
From the first I have been an eye witness
in Biz casca, 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 are expected, but If our citizens
will use proper precautions further damage
might bc prevented.

An Undeniable Truth.
You deserve to sutler, and if you lead a
miserable, unsstisfactory life in this beauti

there ls only ono excuse for you-your un
reasonable prejudice and skepticism, which
bas killed thousands. Personal knowledge
and common aenso reasoning will soon
show yon that Green's August Flower will
cure you of Liver Complaint, or Dyspepsia,
with oil its miserable effects, such aa sick
headache, palpitation of the heart, sour
stomach, habitual costiveness, dizziness of

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 lift's comforts: or,
disordered and diseased, they tinglo mu'?ry
along every nervo and ihrough at . ry artery,
The man or woman with gcci digestion see
beauty es they walk, and overcome obstacles
they meet in tbs routine of life, where tba
dyspeptic secs only gloom and stumbles and
growls at even SninRlngrv objecte. -The
world aili needs two or three new kinds of
medicino before death can be perfectly abol
ish cd; but that many lives have been pro
longed, and many sufferers from Liver dis
ease, Dyspepsia and Headache, have been
cured by MEBUELL'S HEPATINE, ia no longer
a doubt. It cures Headache in twenty min
utes, and there is no question but what it is

"ALWAYS AHEAD."

proved in the lost fow months, although the '
old was very good. There are over sis hun
dred of them in daily"uso ic this County,
?vlng perfect satisfaction. You may buy a
achine, "so-called," for less money, hut if
you want to bo satisfied ofter you purchase,
always get tho heat. This Company sell
more than all tho rest put together, and
there are about fifty different Machines on
the market. The Singer was the Mist to
reduce the price, and of course tho minara
had to follow, and they hr.d to come a little
below tho Singer, or else they would have to
abandon business, for I know from experi
ence that pavt'?s *ay if yon %111 take for
the Singer what I can get another nt, I will
take tho Singer nil the time. What db
they mean by that ?
Cash prices. $35, $10 and $45, owing to
style and finish, but the Machines are the
same throughout lu the nice adjustment of
their parts, Ac.
Tho best criterion that I can givo you as
to my opinion of the diff?rent machines, is
my connection with thin famous Machine
for nine years in succession.
Machines sold on easy terms. Machines
of all makes repaired at sLort notice, and
