I THE INTELLIGENCER. 5 B'QC A TL M A TTE ?IS. _ Trial ?Ttuifc??. Tlic elections liclil for Triul Justices on ry*, last Saturday resulted os follows : Auder Sgji derron C. H.. John C. Whitfield and John jjgS E. Brenzcale; Varennes. 8. P. Tate; Hall, fig \V. E. Walters; Kelton, J. N. Sutherland. Mr. Sutherland had no opposition. A I number of elections ure yet to be held. Til? Court House Steeple. ?? Tbe connnunication on this subject, Sp, wbieh appears in this issue, is from a gen r lletuan whose opinion is valuable on any jjsS subject which engages his attention, and wo think the suggestions made in it ure cz I collent. An additional story to the steeple would very greatly improve the looks not [fe only of the steeple hut of the building it ; self, and that too uta very trilling cost. Wc ?? hope our County Commissioners will give s? this matter a favorable consideration, mid 6 that thc work recommended will be done ut an early duy. Melton Town Klec?lon. Thc election for municipal officers in thc ? town of Belton came off on lust Saturday, and elicited considerable Interest. 'I he con test was over local issues entirely, thc ?pies lion being ono of high or low license. Tho retuil license has heretofore been $125.00 per annum. There was un eirort to misc the license to fcJOO.OO, but the low license ticket was successful by a majority of about tt n votes. The Council elected is composed as follows: Intendant, A. A. Willingham; Wardens, Dr. P. K. Breazealu, John L. Thompson, J. N. Willingham, T. lt. Young und Jonas Brown und James Robertson, colored. Cul. JD. Wyatt Aiken. Our readers will enjoy the article from this able gentleman which appears in an other column. In our remarks uboiit tho debt due South Carolina by the Coiled States, we did not mean to withhold from our Representatives any credit due them, for wc knew they would do what was best for the interests of the State nnd Union on this ns they do on all other questions. Wi ore glad, however, that wc published it, as Col. Aiken's letter has been secured there by. Thc people of Anderson County are always pleased to read his articles. Our State is ot present very ably and efficiently represented in Congress hy our Democratic members, and these gentlemen will receive valuable co-luborers nfler thc 4th of March in the pince of the Radicals, who have been completely beaten out. Superstition. It is surprising that any sentible person living in n 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 "cuiijn ring." But a few nights ago ono of their regular break downs was held throe or four miles from town, and, as usual, n difficulty aro'e over the dancing, whereupon one of the partie1, to the feud rushed up to thc other and rubbed his hand over his eyes, which immediately begun to swell until they were closed, rind the porty was for a time completely blind. This whole thing is attributed to witchcraft, wbieh thc neuro who rubbed his hands over the other's eyes is supDoscd to possess, whereas there is no doubt that bc hud put sonic poison on his hand which produced thc result. If the whole party were prosecuted in the Courts, it would bc apt to show the cause of thc swelling and to punish thc purty causing it. Such pretences are only used by tho ohrcwder colored men to impose on the foolish und credulous. Tho Snipe* Homicide. Coroner Herrick continued the inquest held over the dead hotly of Mr. Drury Snipes, who was run over and killed on Saleday, and from information received last week sumnrjned Mr. Isaac Mcbain, an old gentlemf.ii about sixty years of ugo, who i;v. i about five miles west of Anderson, anti his son to appear beforo the inquest. They came on Friday, and Mr. Mel.am denied in his first statement uny knowledge of thc billing whatever, and his son likewise de nied any knowledge of it, but their slatc nicnts were contradictory. In thc aftc noon, however, Mr. McLain withdrew his toriner atatement. and admitted that he was thc man who ran over Mr. Snipes, and stated that he had tried to conceal it from fear Thc jury then gave as their verdict that Mr Snipes came to his death by the criminal carelessness of Mr. McLain. Ho was then bailed in the sum of five hundred dollars tc appear for trial. The affair is generali} regretted, as Mr. McLain is a quiet and in dustrious man when sober, ile will b< represented by Messrs. Orr it Tribble a; counsel upon thc trial. A Good Kxamplr. It is not often that a man in this day am time is as fortunato in having good arie generous neighbors as surround Mr. W. D Hatton, of thc Corner township. Oi Christmus duy, some children who wer shooting fire crackers in his yard thought lessly threw a puck of burning cracker upon thc roof of his dwelling, which n once Ignited tho dry shingles, and bcfori a luddcr could bc secured by which thc roo could bc reached, the flumes had gotten tex great a headway to bu extinguished, nm his house, together with a considcrabl amount of his household furniture, wa consequently destroyed. His neighbors hearing of his misfortune, at once collecte at Mr. Hutton's ?nd, in their sj mpalliy atv generosity, went to work to erect him an other residence, and in a week or ton day had it completed-almost, if not quite, a good as thc ono destroyed. And this wo hot ull. While tho house was being creole by some, others were engaged in sollcitin donations with which to replace the furn turc, etc., which was destroyed with th building, io which neatly everyone respor dcd. This was indeed a commendable at rm Hif. rut rt of the. citizens of that neigh bo; hood, who have ul ways been noted for thc hospitality and liberality. Death of Slr. Thomas lt. Sin lor. Thc Keowee Oiurier announces thc dcat of Mr. Thomas R. Nhelor, which occurrt at his residence, in Georgia, on tho 30th i December last, after a lingering illness ; an advanced age, ind gives the followii notice of tho life ol thia gentleman, wi was well known to many persons in th County, who will regret to burn of li death : Mr. Shelor was a native of Virginia. I removed to this State when a Toting ma and identified himself thoroughly with tl peuple of his adopted State. By indust and energy, he accumulated a handsor projicriy, "and reared a most interest! family. Some years ago, disgusted wi the political condition of the Siuto. J Bhclor removed to Georgin, where, notwil standing his advanced age, he comment to rebuild thc fortuno which hud been badi?' wrecked hy tho results of thc w Mr. Shclor was an honest mnn, and lent many friends here end in his new home mourn his loss. New Salem, Rusk Co., Tex.

For mil? hy all dr gists. 27 . '? Commercial FertKlrrr?. Wc liar? Been tlic action of thc represen* | tatives of thc leading manufacturers of : commercial fertilizers ct their meeting r*?- j cently li'M in the city of Augusta, an<l un hesitatingly ri?eonmit'iid our far in en gene rally to pursue the courso adopted by the Associate Grange as reported in another column. These manufacturers propose raising the amount ol cotton required to pay for their fertilizers from 450 to 500 pounds, and to require thc consumers to pay the freights on them in addition. They also propose to reduce the ?trice to be given for cotton on thc cotton option plan. This is to bc eUccted by a combination Ol tiic manufacturers, and it should bc met by a combination on thc part of thc farmers. It does not cost as much to manufacture these fertilizers now us it did three years ago, and yet they are endeavoring to make it pay them the same or more. They have the right to ark what they pieuse, hut tho consumer bus the right to buy or not ns he please* ; and if there is a general refusal on the pail of th?' farmer to pay Ihe>ie new ?le mands, the companies will recede from them. Our people u.*o too much bought fertilizers anyway. It does not increase tho crop, taking all that is used, us much us it costs in this County. Toe farmer tun better nfierd tu run bis crop fer ?me year r. :thout any fertilizer '.'nan he cnn to show that he is completely at thc mercy of these corpo rations, und 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 have done heretofore. Our County Finnin ou. The following statement, which J. L. Tribble, Esq., tha efficient Clerk of the County Commissioners, has given us, will show thc situation of our County finances ns they stand n* present, giving thc amount of money collected for ordinary County purposes and for building the linc fences for the fiscal year 1877-78, together with tho aggregate disbursements made by the Coun ty Commissioners for the smiio period : Amount collected ns shown by the Treas, report Jan. 1, 187?.$18,887.39 Amount disbursed bv the Com missioners. 18,887.39 Claims against the County, unpaid, 1,249.(>9 Amount of taxes still due t lie Coun ty und uncollected. 829.52 Of this sum $7tfl.l7 bau been tendered in bills of thc bank of thc Stute. If this ten der is withdrawn, and tho tnxes pnid up, it 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 thc unusual nnd heavy expenses of the County for thc past year in the building oi thc linc fences und other matters outside ot thc usual ex j ?en ses, the people have cause to congratulate themselves. Thc result is liighiy creditable to the management of thc 3Utgoing Hoard, and we have no doubt that under tho management of thc new Board, which will be prudent and economical, thc County will, ut the end of thc year, be en tirely free of debt, with a fair prospect ol reducing thc rate of County taxation some what for next year. Blaster. Governor Simpson hos, upon th? recom mendation of th? entire Anderson delega Jon in thc General Assembly, appointe?' jeneral W. W. Humphreys Master for thu bounty, under tho act of thc Inst Genera! Assembly which created thc ofllce. Tilt ltitics of thc office arc important, and it* :rcntion will bc found a very great assistant :o persons having business on thc Equitj tide of thc Circuit Court, as it will facilitate the preparation and final disposition o anuses, thus effecting a great saving in tin time and expense of litigation. The Maste is a general referee in all Equity causes, nm lins power to grant orders for publication if summons, appoint guardians ad Hiern take testimony before the meeting of tin Court, and attend to such matters as an necessary for thc preparation of causes fo Inal disposition. Under the decision of tin supreme Court, which requires ull cuses o partition to be carried through the Circu? Court, it would have been very troublcsom o look up a Circuit Judge every time a pre iniinary order was desired, and the ap [lointment of Master obviates this difficulty md by saving the time and expenso o .ou n sel in going to a Circuit Judge on al iuch questions will bc found practically ti lave litigants a considerable expense. Gin Humphreys is thoroughly qualified am itted for thc position, and his appoint men ivill give general satisfaction to the County Meium. Arnstein & Hose. Speaking of the Camden branch of tin >rosperous business firm, thc Camden Jour tal pays them tho following highly compli nentury tribute: While wc deeply regret to bid farewell t mr former townsman and merchant, Mr. Il iaruch, and while we feel that the loss i ihnost irreparable, and look upon it as :loud in our business circles, still we see rery bright lining around it nil in thc pei ions of his successors, the Messrs. S. A Vrustoin <fc Co. This linn ia established i his State ns gentlemen of character, com )etoncy: ability and honor, and are we worthy of thc commendation of our who! jcople. Hy industry, integrity and wort hey have amassed large means, ur.d entei ug upon their new field and home the :omo with no closed fist, but amply read o do nil that cull bc required of merchant They havo bought for cash-they sell ai :ordingly ; and while we congratulate thci lpon I heir bright future, wc ulso tender I mc people a cordial congratulation in ha' ng such men among them.

The postofficc 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 thc injury of the mails contained within them. The department hrs issued a circu lar warning carriers against this, and rcquir- ! lng postmasters to vetiort nil mich ca*os, Thc circular calls attention to the fact that thc mails arc not to bc 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 thc mo3t remarkable men in this County. Jn February next he will he sev enty-eight years old, and during that time bc hos never required thc services of a phy sician nor taken a dose of medicine.

When any o? his family are sick and desire a physician bc sends for ono, but for his part he contends that medicine is unnecessary, in conse quence of which ho will neither take it himself nor will he give it to any other person._ Mn. EDITOR: Inasmuch as work is now being done on tho Court House steeple, would it not bo well for the County Com missioners to consider tho propriety of add ing one more story to its height, and of chnnging the shape of its roof so as still further to increase its height? This, it s ems to mc would greatly increase thc arch i oct ural beauty of the building, with but slight increase of thc cost of the repairs i now being made. In addition to this, it would very much diminish thc size und cost of tho town clock it has been proposed to creel in the steeple. The steeple of thc Baptist Church build ing in thia ?dace is a decidedly handsome one, and there is no doubt that a very great improvement can.be made in thc ono on the Court House. I throw out these suggestions for what they may bc worth, and hopo they may rc- - suit in effecting tho chrngo proposed, be cause it is a public building, and n people j aro always judged of by the taste they dis play in such structures.

Thompson, State Superintendeht, (ut the time of writing, as now.

This opinion is based upon a full'and tltorough test, in thc 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 Prolit and Loss.
