THE INTELLIGENCER. V.OCAL MATTERS. Trial Justice?. The elections held for Trial Justices on last Saturday resulted as follows : Andcr derson C. H., John C. Whitfield and John E. Breazeale; Varennes, S. P. T?te; Hall, W. E. Walters; Bclton, J. N. Sutherland. Mr. Sutherland had no opposition. A number of elections are yet to be held. Tue Court House Steeple. The communication on this subjoct, which appears in this issue, is from a gen? tleman whose opinion is valuable on any subject which engages his attention, and wo think the suggestions made in it arc ex? cellent An additional story to the steeple would very greatly improve the looks not only of the steeple but of the building it? self, and that too at a very trilling cost We hope our County Commissioners will give this matter a favorable consideration, end that the work recommended will be done at an early day. Bclton Town Election. The election for municipal officers in the town of Belton came off on last Saturday, and elicited considerable interest The con? test was over locni issues entirely, the ques? tion being one of high or low license. The retail license has heretofore been $125.00 per annum. There was an effort to raise the license to $300.00, but the low license ticket j was successful by a majority of abont ten votes. The Council elected is composed as follows: Intendant, A. A. Willingham; Wardens, Dr. F. K. Breazeale, John L. Thompson, J. N. Willingham, T. E. Young and Jonas Brown and James Robertson, colored. ^ Col. D. Wyatt Alken. Our readers will enjoy the article from this able gentleman "hieb appears in an? other column. In our remarks about the debt due South Carolina by the United States, we did not mean to withhold from our Representatives any credit due them, for we knew they would do what was best for the interests of the State and Union on this as they do on all other questions. W< are glad, however, that we published it, as Col. Aiken's letter has been secured there? by. The people of Anderson County are always pleased to read his articles. Our State is at present vor; ably and efficiently represented in Co; igreis by our Democratic members, and there gentlemen will receive valuable co-laborers after the 4th of March in the place of the Radicals, who have been completely beaten out Superstition. It i3 surprising that any sensible person living in a civilized country should believe in witchcraft of any description, and yet there are a great many colored people who' | firmly believe in what they term "cunju ring." But a few nights ago one of their regular break downs was held three or four miles from town, and, as usual, a difficult}' arose over the dancing, whereupon one of | the parties to the feud rushed up to the other and robbed his bund over his eyes, which immediately began to swell until they^wtre closed, and the party was for a time completelv blind. This whole thing is attributed t witchcraft, which the negro who rubbed his hands over the other's eyes is supDosed to possess, whereas there is no doubt that be had put some poison on bis hand which produced the result If the whole party were prosecuted in the Courts, it wonld be apt to show the cause of the swelling and to punish the party causing it. Such pretences are only used by the shrewder colored men to impose on the foolish and credulous: The Snipes Homicide. Coroner Herrick continued the inquest Leid over the dead body of Mr. Drury Snipes, who was run over and killed on Saleday, and from information received last week summoned Mr. Isaac McLain, an old gentleman about sixty years of age, who lives about five miles west of Anderson, and his son to appear before tbe inquest. They came on Friday, and Mr. McLain denied in his first statement any knowledge of the killing whatever, and his son likewise de? nied any knowledge of it, but their state? ments were contradictory. In the afternoon, however, Mr. McLain withdrew his former statement, and admitted that he was the man who ran over Mr. Snipes, and stated that he had tried to conceal it from fear. The jury then gave as their verdict that Mr. Snipes came to his death by the criminal carelessness of Mr. McLain. Ha was then bailed in tbe snm of five hundred dollars to appear for trial. Tbe affair is generally regretted, as Mr. McLain is a quiet and in? dustrious man when sober. He will be represented by Messrs. Orr <fe Tribble as counsel upon the trial. A Good Example. It is not often that a roan in this day and time is as fortunate in having good and generous neighbors ad surround Mr. W. D. Hatton, of the Corner township. On Christmas day, some children who were shooting fire crackers in his yard thought? lessly threw a pack of bunting crackers cpon the roof of his dwelling, which at once ignited the dry shingles, and before a ladder could be secured by which the roof | could be reached, the flames had gotten too great a headway to be extinguished, and his house, - together with a considerable amount of his household furniture, was consequently destroyed. His neighbors, hearing of his misfortune, at once collected at Mr. Button's and, in their sympathy and generosity, went to work to erect him an? other residence, and in a week or ten days had it completed?almost, if not quite, as good as the one destroyed. And this was not all. While the house was being erected by some, others were engaged in soliciting donations with which to replace the furni? ture, etc., which was destroyed with the building, to which nearly every one respon? ded. This was indeed a commendable act on tbe part of the citizens of that neighbor? hood, who have always been noted for their hospitality and liberality. Death of Sir. Thomas H. Shelor. The Kctncee Courier announces the death of Mr. Thoraas R. Shelor, which occurred at his residence, in Georgia, on the 30th of December last, after a lingering illness at an advanced age. and gives the following notice of the Bfe ol this gentleman, who was well known to many persons in this County, who will regret to learn of his death: Mr. 8helorwas a native of Virginia. He removed to this State when a young man, and identified himself thoroughly with the people of his adopted State. By industry and energy, he accumulated a* handsome property, iind reared a most interesting family. Some years ago, disgusted with the political condition of the State. Mr. Shelor removed to Georgia, where, notwith? standing his advanced age, he commenced to rebuild the fortune which had been so badly wrecked by tbe results of the war. Mr. Shelor was an honest mun, and leaves many friends here and in his new home to mourn his loss. New Salem, Rusk Co., Tex. Oct. 27, 1877. Dr. Harter, Dear Sir: I suffered two years with a distressing cough ; could get nothing to do it any good.' I was prevailed upon by youragent?Dallas Forman?to try Dr. narter's Lung Balm ; I was relieved at once, and by the time I had used three bottles, the cough was gone; 1 was sound and well. For sale by all drug? gists. 27-2 Commercial Fertilizer*. We have seen the action of the represen? tatives of the leading manufacturers of commercial fertilizers at their meeting re? cently held in the city of Augusta, and un? hesitatingly recommend our farmers gene? rally to pursue the course adopted by the Associate Grange as reported in another column. These manufacturers propose raising the amount of cotton required to pay for their fertilizers from 450 to 500 pounds, and to require the consumers to pay the freights on them in ad Jition. They also propose to reduce the price to be given for cotton on the cotton option plan. This is to be effected by a combination of the manufacturers, and it should be met by a combination on the part of the farmers. It docs not cost as much to manufacture these fertilizers now as it did three years ago, and yet they are endeavoring to make it pay them the same or ruoie. They have the right to ask what they please, but the consumer has the right to buy or not as he pleases; and if there is a general refusal on the part of the furmcr to pay these new de? mands, the companies will recede from them. Our people use too much bought fertilizers anyway. It does not increase tho crop, taking all thut is used, as much as it costs in this County. The farmer can better afferd to run bis crop for one year without acy fertilizer than he can to show that he is completely at the mercy of these corpo? rations, and obliged to pay whatever they ask. Not only the Grangers, but the farm? ers generally should decline to pay one par? ticle more for their guanos this season than they havo done heretofore. Our Count.v Finances. The following statement, which J. L. Tribble, Esq., the efficient Clerk of the County Commissioners, has given us, will show the situation of our County finances as they stund at present, giving the amount of money collected for ordinary" County purposes and for building the line fences for the fiscal year 1877-78, together with the aggregate disbursements made by the Coun? ty Commissioners for the same period: Amount collected as shown by the Treas. report Jan. 1,1879.$18,8S7.39 Amount disbursed by the Com? missioners.18,887.39 Claims against the County, unpaid, 1,249.69 Amount of taxes still due t be Coun? ty and uncollectcd. 829.52 Of this sum $791.17 has been tendered in bills of the bank of the State. If this ten? der hi withdraw n, and the taxes paid up, it I will leave the County with a debt of some? thing less than five hundred dollars. This is not quite as good as it was expec? ted it would be at one time, but considering the unusual and heavy expenses of the County for the past year in the building of the line fences and other matters outside of the usual expenses, the people have cause to congratulate themselves. The result is highly creditable to the management of the outgoing Board, and we have no doubt that under the management of the new Board, which will be prudent and economical, the County will, at the end of the year, be en? tirely free of debt, with a "fair prospect of reducing the rate of County taxation some? what for next year. ? ??^ Master. Governor Simpson has, upon the recom? mendation of the entire Anderson delega? tion in tho General Assembly, appointed General W. V/. Humphreys Master for this County, under the act of the last General Assembly which created the office. The duties of the office are important, and its creation will be found a very great assistant to persons having business on the Equity side of the Circuit Court, as it-will facilitate the preparation and final disposition of causes, thus effecting a great saving in the time and expense of litigation. The Master is a general referee in all Equity causes, and has power to grant orders for publications of summons, appoint guardians ad litem, take testimony before the meeting of the Court, and attend to such matters as are necessary for the preparation of causes for final disposition. Under the decision of the Supreme Court, which requires all cases of partition to be carried through the Circuit Court, it would have been very troublesome to look up a Circuit Judge every time a pre? liminary order was desired, and the ap? pointment of Master obviates this difficulty, and by saving the time and expenso of counsel in going to a Circuit Judge on all such questions will be found practically to save litigants a considerable expense. Gen. Humphreys is thoroughly qualified and fitted for the position, and his appointment will give general satisfaction to the County. Me Mrs. Arnstein & Rose. Speaking of the Camden branch of this prosperous business firm, the Cumden Jour? nal pays them the following highly compli? mentary tribute: While we deeply regret to bid farewell to our former townsman and merchant, Mr. H. Baruch, and while we feel that the loss is almost irreparable, and look upon it as a cloud in our business circles, still we see a very bright lining around it all in the per? sons of his successors, the Messrs. S. A. Arnstein & Co. This firm is established in this State as gentlemen of character, com? petency, ability and honor, and are well worthy of the commendation of our whole people. By industry, integrity and worth they have amassed large means, and enter? ing npon their new held and home they come witli no closed fist, but amply ready to do all that can be required of merchants. They have bought for cash?they sell ac? cordingly; and while we congratulate them upon their bright future, we also tender to our people a cordial congratulation in hay? ing such men among them. Nature is al? ways generous, and succeeds one good plant by another in her wise diffusion. The new Volume of the Living A?e.? The number of LittcWs Living Age for tho week ending Jan'y 4th begins its one hun? dred and fortieth volume. In tliis volume George MacDonald's new and increasingly interesting serial story, "Sir Gibbie," will be continued from week to week until completed ; a new serial, "The Bride's Pass," by Sarah Tytler, whose stories '?\Vhut She Came Through" and|"liev.

The Living Age promisesto be richer than ever in in the work of theuhlcst minds of the time, and will give their productions with a completeness not elsewhere attempt? ed. The beginning of a new year is a favora? ble time fur the beginning of a sub? scription ; and the publishers still present to new subscribers for 1879 the six numbers ot l.STS containing the first parts of Moc Donalds* "Sir Gibbie."

Editor: We desire, through the In? telligence!*, to return our sincere thanks to the citizens of this place and vicinity for the valuable aid extended to us during the fire on Tuesday last. Respectfully yours, Lee, Sloan & Taylor. BRIEF MENTION. Cotton?Middlings, M to 8J. Mr. N. K- Sullivan i? ?tili conCued to his house. The Temperance Standard" now conies to us with a patent outside. Mr. John Kaufman is at work on the Court House steeple, and will soon have tho necessary repairs made. The Carolina Collegiate Institute open on Monday last under very favorable aus? pices. The number of students now in attendance reaches over a hundred. Col. C. S. Mattlson has been quite sick recently, but we arc glad to learn that he is much better again. The Colonel is one of Anderson's safest and best Representatives. We are glad to learn that Mr. Charles L. G. Elrod, who was shot at home, near Pendlcton, during the Christmas holidays, is improving, and it is now thought that he will recover. General J. W. Harrison and family have removed to Greenville, where he will en? gage in the practice of law. He will, how? ever, returned to Anderson at frequent in? tervals to look after his practice over here. The attention of our readers is called to the advertisement of Mr. George W. Fant, proprietor of the Book Store at this place, which appears in another column. Be sure to give him a call before purchasing school books for your children. Mr. D. S. Maxwell sent us this week a nice ripe banana, which grew upon a tree raised by him in his hot house. This is rather a cool latitude for tropical fruits to grow in. Mr. Maxwell, however, mukes a success of this as he does of everything he tries. Mr. G. F. Tolly continues to be the leud ing dealer in furniture in the up country, and for prices cannot be equalled any where else in the State. He wants money, how? ever, and requests us to call the attention of those indebted to him to the fact that they must come forward and settle their notes and accounts without delay. The Quarterly Conference of the Metho? dist Church at this place was held on last Saturday, presided over by Rev. Samuel B. Jones, D. D., of Pendlcton, the able Presid? ing Elder of this District. Dr. Jones preached very able sermons on Sunday morning and evening to large and appre? ciative congregations. Col. J. S. Cotbran, of Abbeville, and IT. G. Scudday, Esq., of Anderson, have formed a copartnership for the practice of law in all the courts of this State and of the United States, with olficcs at this place and Abbe? ville. Mr. Scudday is in charge of the office here, and will give prompt attention to any business placed in his hands. We commend him to the confidence of the people of An? derson County, and wish him a bright and prosperous career. The postoffice department complains of the careless handling of mail bags by car? riers on the country lines by which they are exposed to rain, and unnecessary wear to the injury of the mails contained within them. The department has issued a circu? lar warning carriers agaiast this, and requir? ing postmasters to report all such cases. The circular calls attention to the fact that the mails arc not to be transported on horse? back or used for seats. They can properly be carried only in wheeled vehicles. Mr. James Martin, of Hopewell township, is one of the most remarkuble men in this County. In February next he will be sev? enty-eight years old, and during that time he has never required the services of a phy? sician nor taken a dose of medicine. The old gentleman is active and vigorous now, and still enjoys good health. When any of his family are sick and desire a physician he sends for one, but for his part he contends that medicine is unnecessary, in conse? quence of which he will neither take it himself tor will he give it to any other person. _ Mr. Editor : Inasmuch as work is now being done on the Court House steeple, would it not be well for the County Com? missioners to consider the propriety of add? ing one more story to its height, and of changing the shape of its roof so as still further to increase its height? This, it 8 ems to me would greatly increase the arch i cctural beauty of the building, with but slight increase of the cost of the repairs now being made. In addition to this, it would very much diminish the size and cost of the town clock it has been proposed to erect in the steeple. The steeple of the Baptist Church build? ing in this place is a decidedly handsome one, and there is no doubt that a very great improvement can. be made in the one on the Court House. I throw out these suggestions for what they may be worth, and hope they may re? sult in effecting the change proposed, be? cause it is a public building, and a people ore always judged of by the taste they dis? play in such structures. A Subscriber. TownvUle. The marrying "business" is waning. The Rev. Mr. Russell will preach at Smith Chapel next Sunday.W. A.

M., LL.D., Mercer University, Macon, Ga. Of these Arithme? tics, based on the only true test?use in the school-room?ouoof our most skillful Teach? ers, Hon. Hugh S. Thompson, State Superintendent, (at the time of writing, as now, Prin? cipal of Columbia Male Academy,) says : "Sunford's Arithmetics are superior to any that I have seen in the fullness of the examples, the clearness and simplicity of the analyses, and the accuracy of the rules and definitions. This opinion is based upon a full'and through test, in the school-room. To those Teachers who may examine these Arithme? tics with reference to introduction, I would especially commend the treatment of Per? centage and Profit and Loss. No text books that I have ever used are so satisfactory to teachers and pupils." Sanford is now in acceptable use in Anderson County.
