E. B. MURRAY, Edltor. THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 3, 1878. DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS. Tor Governor : WADE HAMPTON^ of Richland. Ueuicnant Governor: W. D. SIMPSON, of Laurens. Attorney General: LBROY F. YOTJMANS, of Richland. Secretary of State: R. M. SIMS, of York. Comptroller General: JOHNSON HAGOOD, of Bamwell. Stat<< Treasurer t S. L. LEAP H ART, of Richland. State Superintendent of Education i HUGH 8. THOMPSON, of Richland. - Adjutant and Inspector General: E. W. MOISE. of Sumter. For Congress?Third District t D. WYATT AE5EN, of Abbeville. Senator M. C. Butler, Colonel Aiken, Speaker Sheppard, Judge Bacon, Capt. Dawson, of the News and Courier, and Col. Cothran are the speakers for next Saturday. Every man, woman and child .., in the County should be certain, if pos? sible, to attend this meeting.' Theora tions will be eloquent and entertaining. : We should on this day show how old Anderson appreciates the Democracy and its triumph. Darlington County had fire thousand persons present at her .Hampton meeting. Anderson must do as well, or lose the name of the banner County. Ten thousand persons onght to IK'-be here next Saturday. The meeting at Engstree, in Willams : burg County, on last Monday was a large and enthusiastic one, considering the ' proportion of the population to other counties. There were some two thous? and persons present, one-fourth of whom were colored. The stand was magnifi :; cen?y decorated, and the greatest inter? est was manifested by the people of this' county. Speeches were mado by Gov. Hampton, Hon. John S. Richardson and E. B. Murray, Esq., after which Solicitor " -Hirsch,who has heretofore been a Re? publican, was introduced, and announced ?? his determination to support Got. Hamp? ton and the entire Democratic ticket. Taken all together it seems to us that the prospects for Swails and the other Radi? cals is a blue one in this county. The motto of the day was "Williamsburg must be redeemed," and we believe the task will be performed. Some of the Massachusetts papers do . not like what the IntbSiLigencer said about Gor. Rice refusing to surrender Kimpton under Gov. Hampton's requisi? tion. We are not particular about whether they are pleased or not, inas? much as we did not express our views ou that subject for the purpose of securing the commendation of a set of journals whose highest ambition is to vUlify one section of the union for the purpose of keeping in power a party whose only life ?.' consists in hate, and whose only food is public plunder. In fact, if the Radical papers of Massachusetts had agreed with us we would have been convinced our views were wrong, for that portion of the press has not been known to be right on public matters in the last fifteen years. By the way, however, it strikes us that the people of Massachusetts do not seem to think the Intelligencer's views were so unreasonable, after all, for even the Republicans have thrown aside both Gov. Rice and Mr. Attorney General Train, and nominated other men to take their places, thus imowing that if these officials and their newspaper allies were willing to let the State become an asylum for political rogues, that the people of that State have some objections to such a policy. They realize that their State has been scandalized and disgraced by the course of Gov. Rice, and have shown a determination to retrieve their integrity as a State by utterly discarding him and the Attorney General who assisted in perpetrating this outrage upon law.? While the people even of Massachusetts thus condemn these men, we can afford to look with complacency upon tho dis? comfiture manifested by their purtizan press. A COMPLIMENT. The. following letter from a gentleman in New York shows that the Radical pa? pers of that State are no better than their Southern allies upon questions in? volving truth, and as we consider it a compliment to have the organs of a party whose whole record is one of usurpation and corruption disagree with and berate the Intelligences, we cannot forego - repnblishing the letter, without giving the name of the writer: Randolph, New York; Sept. 28. Editor of Anderson Intelligencer?StR: Will you be so kind as to send me a copy of your paper, for which I will subscribe as soon as I know what the terms are. These Republicans lie so hard about the Eaper, its contents, &c, that I want it ere at band. Yours truly, ?** We must say that it strikes us that our Republican contemporaries if the North have to go a long way from home to find a subject to write upon when they discuss the Intelligencer. If they would devote their attention to the rings and rascalities of the Republican party in Washington and in some of the North? ern States, they would have a more pro? fitable theme. The fact is, however, they are compelled to overlook what is going on around them, and appear to find some mighty subject for discussion in picking up a Southern country paper and con? torting and transforming its sentiments so as to give them a plausible plea for opening a tirade of villainous abuse against the South. With that ignoble and mean spirit which characterizes all papers which seek to array one section of our common country against another, i these papers make false and malicious statements about the Southern press, and have not even manhood and honor to send copies of the paper in which they make these infamous statements to the Southern papers they so unfairly attack. After the elections in Vermont and Maine, these sectional agitators had bet? ter subside. If they do not, there is a strong probability that there will be noth? ing of Republicanism left to amuse us in 1880. DEMOCRATIC MEEfiNO ON NEXT SATURDAY. Arrangements are now being perfected for the gathering of the Democratic hosts at Anderson Court House on next Sat? urday. A number of distinguished speakers from abroad, engaged in the State canvass, will be present and ad? dress the assemblage on the live issues of the day. This meeting may not be necessary for the success of the Demo? cratic party in this County at the ensu? ing election, bot it, in connection with those held and being held in every Coun? ty in the State, is absolutely necessary to carry the State. The enthusiasm and de? termination of the people of the upper and middle counties of the Stats in 1876 gave to the whole State such assurances of success tbat every heart was nerved for the contest, and a decided victory the result. So long as the same enthusiasm and determination animate the people success is inevitable. If, with the whole State government against us, wo defeated the Radicals so thoroughly, certainly, witb that government with us, we can defeat the demoralized hosts of our oppo? nents. The only danger that we see to the Democratic party of the State in the future arises from a conviction of over confidence. In 1876 every man felt his duty to the State, and made every sacri? fice necessary to discharge that duty, and thereby secured an honest and econom? ical government, by which he has been most amply repaid for every sacrifice he made. So long as the spirit of 1876 en? thuse the people, so long will we have good government. When tbe great masses of the people from over-confidence or any other cause become indifferent about the administration of tbe govern? ment, then is defeat and maladmistration only a question of time. Tbe Democrats of Anderson are called upon to give an? other day to the party and State, and to make the same effort to retain and per? petuate good government that they made to defeat tbe horde of thieves who had usurped the offices and poweni of the State. The same determination that characterized the canvass two years ago should now be manifested, and next Sat? urday become noted as the day upon which the masses have reiterated their resolve that South Carolinians s'.iall rule South Carolina. Let every Democrat in the County feel that the success of the meeting depends upon him, and then the assembled thousands will unmistakably declare that what ha3 been achieved in the past shall not be lost in the future by indifference or inactivity. Able and dis? tinguished speakers, among whom will be Gen. M. C. Butler and the Hon. D. W. Aiken, will be present, and let the Democracy of Anderson give them such a reception as the occasion merits. The business men of Anderson have de? termined to close their doors on :hat day, and so let all business in the County be suspended for one day, and that day given to the State, and the County will save thousands of dollars in the < ne item of taxes, besides securing good and hon? est government. THE COUNTY FAIR. The Eleventh Annual Fair of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Association of Anderson County will be held at Ander? son Court House on Wednesday, Thurs? day and Friday, the 23rd, 24th and 25th of October. During previous years these Fairs were decided successes, and they have contributed greatly to the advance? ment of tbe agricultural and mechanical interests of the County. They have shown what our soil under proper im? provement and cultivation can be made to produce, and it would be difficult to estimate their advantages to the County. It is to the interest of all the industrial pursuits of the County that these Fairs should be successful, and that their suc? cess: should be so decided as to insure their permanency. It is only necessary for those who labored and toiled during the past year to exhibit what they have ac? complished to make the coming exhibi? tion superior to any which have preceded it We hope that the different occupa? tions and industries of the County will be fully represented, and that all will feel an interest in this exhibition, and by their own exertions make the Anderson County Fair that success to which the industries of the people entitle it. THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD. The management of the South Caro? lina Railroad passed into the hands of the Receiver, Mr. John H. Fisher, ap? pointed by Judge Bond, on last Monday. As a number of our readers are inter? ested in this'road, we make the following extract from an editorial in the News ana Courier as to its future prospects and management: The South Carolina Railroad, however, is not dead, or sleeping. Mr. Fisher, in some respects, will be more free than the President and Directors were. Upon him there will not press a mass of com? plex and conflicting liabilities, and as he is familiar with railroad management, in every branch, there is no reason to doubt tbat he will make good use of his advan? tages. The successful working of the South Carolina Railroad involve, work? ing in the interest of Charleston. The two, the City and the Road, caanot be divorced, without mortal hurt to both. Ono is dependent on the other. Mr. Fisher appreciates this fact, and, as be was appointed by a Judge with waom he is in nowise connected, upon thi nomi? nation of tbe counsel representing the Road, the Syndicate and other defendant interests at Baltimore, he will take a pride in retaining everything in the con? duct of the Road that is broad and liberal and suited to the times, pushing the pro? gressive features of the policy of the retir? ing administration to a point which Mr. Magrath and his associates unfortunately could not reach. We are assured that Mr. Fisher contemplates nothing extreme or revolutionary. He will do no more, and no less, than is requisite to bring the South Carolina Railroad to the first rank among Southern Roads, and to make it a valuable and paying property to all interested. ? A Washington dispatch statea that the Government has received two prop? ositions from Governor Wade Hampton to collect whatever tax the United States may claim should be paid by Sou'h Car? olina and turn it over to the General Government. This curious offer arose in the course of the movement of the com? missioner of internal reveuue against il? licit distillers in South Carolina. These gave Governor Hampton much annoy? ance, and finally he sent word that, for the purpose of avoiding all such troub? les as those then pending, he would agree, if the Government was willing, to hold himself responsible for whatever sum it might decide should be paid by South Carolina on account of internal revenue and collect it and pay it over. HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE. Tlie True Story or tho "Ballet-Sawn Oak of the Bloody Anglo." The Abbeville Press and Banner, in noticing Gen* McGowan's report of the Wilderness and Spottsylvania Court? house, says: Of all the fierce struggles of the war, fruitful in glory and fearful in bloodshed, those battles are unsurpassed. "The Bloody Angle" then described by lines of death-dealing fire stands out a unique picture in the gallery of war. We are informed that the stump of the tree cut down by myriads of musket balls, referred to by * Gen. McGowan, has been uprooted, removed to Washington, and is now on exhibition there at the war department. It was displayed at the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia as a remarkable evidence of bravery and endurance of soldiers in battle. It cer? tainly affords the highest evidence pos? sible of the intensity and duration of a musketry fire, and of the devotion of the soldiers who could stand such a fire. But it must not be forgotton that it was not the Federals, but the Confederate soldiers who received that fire. The tree stood within "the Bloody Angle," a few steps in the rear of the Confederate trenches, and every ball which struck it was dis? charged from a Federal rifle, and pas? sed over the "boys in gray" and struck the tree in their rear. Col. A. P. Butler, now the Honerable Senator from Aiken County, then com? manded the First South Carolina Regi? ment, was very near the tree, witnessed the whole process of "scaling," and saw it when it fell upon and injured some of his men. The diameter of the tree was measured by the sword of Gen. Wilcox and found to be twenty inches. The in? cident is perfectly well authenticated and is certainly one of the most interesting in the annal of war. There are many famous trees, but not one that we wot of ?not the Royal Oak of England, nor the Charter Oak of America, can vie histor? ical interest with the bullet-sawn oak of the Bloody Angle. Let the Federal government give it an honored place among the spoils of that bloody war; let it be preserved as proof of the terrfic power and concentration of the firing of the Northern soldiers. But it would be a strange reversion of title to glory if the pierced and jagged stem of that sacred tree should be regarded as redounding to the honor of the Federals, instead of as a sigual of the Confederate bravery unmatched in warlike story. ? The annual report of gin accidents is beginning to come in. A short time ago a negro boy on Mr. William Cald well's plantation had his foot crushed, and last week a small negro boy had his shoulder and arm badly hnrt by being caught in some part of the gin machin? ery on Mr. W. S. Hall's place. Don't fool around a gin ; there's nothing to be made at it.?Chester Reporter. ? Beaufort Tribune: A letter from New York to one of our citizens, says: "who do you suppose came to beg for some money yesterday to buy food, and this was the seconcd time he had come? Poor devil! I felt sorry for him iu his abject misery, and gave him through the day. The fellow was your ex-Go v. Moses. He pretends that he wants to re? turn to South Carolina, but has not the means to return." ? The Republican club3 throughout Barnwell have resolved that every col? ored man voting the Democratic ticket shall be ostracised by his fellows, ex? pelled from their churches, suffered to die without the attendance of bis nearest and dearest relatives, and be buried bv the hands of Democrats, if buried at all. This would be dreadful if the negroes were still ail Radicals, but there are now plenty of colored Democrats to care for each other.' ? It is with feelling of sadness we chronicle the death of Mrs. C. M. Rey? nolds, widow of the late Dr. J. L. Rey? nolds, which took place at the Mansion House in this city yesterday morning at quarter past 3 o'clock. The funeral rites were performed at the Baptist Church at half past four yesterday afternoon, Rev. Dr. Furman preaching the funeral ser? mon. Mrs. Reynolds woe too well known to our people for us to speak of her es? timable qualities as a Christian woman. Only a short time ago she was preceded in the wa'k through the valley of the shadow of death by her husband, Rev. J. L. Reynolds, D. D. Her remains will be carried to Colnmbia this morning, and interred iu Elmwood Cemetery where sleep those of husband and son.?Green? ville Kcics. ? Two sudden deaths occurred in Fairfield County last week, the victims being youths just entering into man? hood. John Wiley, a son of Capt. John Wiley, was seized with acute rheu? matism on Saturday, the 14th instant. Medical attendance was called, and he seemed to be improving, and appeared so well on Saturday that his father rode into town. While absent he received the sad news that his son was dead. On the same day, at 2 o'clock, Andrew Mobley third son of E. P. Mobley, Esq., aged about fifteen years, was at his father's ginhouse cleaning a pistol which be did not know was loaded. Tbc muz? zle was turned towards him, and the weapon was accidentally discharged, the ball entering the abdomen and passing en? tirely through the body, inflicting inju? ries from which he has since died. Extra Liability to Malarial Infection. Persons whose blood is thin, digestion weak and liver sluggish, arc extra-liable to the attacks of malarial disease. The most trifling exposure may, under euch condi? tions, infect a system which, if healthy, would resist the miasmatic taint. The only way to secure immunity from malaria in localities where it is prevalent, is to tone and regulate the system by improving weakened digestion, enrichiug the blood, and giving a wholesome impetus to biliary secretion. These results are accomplished by nothing so effectively as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which long experience has proved to be the most reliable safeguard against fever and ague and kindled disor? ders, as well as the best remedy for them. The Bitters are, moreover, an excellent in vigorant of the organs of urination, and an active depurent. eliminating from thebloud those acrid impurities which originate rheumatic ailments.
