We would call attention to the advertise? ment of Messrs. Todd & Hahn, Architects i. and Builders. These young gentlemen are experts in their business, and persons . contemplating building will do well to con ?fsulttheai. The crowd in town on Monday was the largest that has assembled here for a long time, and the order throughout the day was _? ?? rornarkab'y good. A few tracts of land was sold by the Sheriff, all of which brought fair prices. The Town Council has decided to build a new Market House, to be situated a short distance south of the old one. It will have j five or six stalls, which' will bo rented out J to parties desiring to furnish the town with fresh meat. The entertainment on the 14th inst. for the benefit of Anderson Division is attract? ing considerable attention, and bids fair to be a pleasant occasion. The most attractive feature of the evening will be the preference election. We hopo a largo number of our citizens will attend. ? Bgj-We regret to announce the death of Mr. George Wilson, which occurred at his resi dence near Craytonville, in this County, on i. last Saturday night, after a severe illness of ' several weeks. Mr. Wilson was sixty-six years of ogc^ at the time of his death, and was an excellent and. industrious citizen. . Iiis death is regretted by all whoknew him. ThoEtiwan Phosphate, for which Messrs. Sitllivan <fc Co. are the agents, is one of the | best fertilizers manufactured. - The satisfac? tion which it has heretofore given places it in the front rank of commercial fertilizers, and those contemplating using guano for | cotton, com or othercrops, would do well \ to call on Messrs. Sullivan & Co. for terms, ' '; The down train did not reach this place on Saturday last until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The delay was caused by ' the running off of the np train a few miles .south of Pendleton on the evening previous, the damaged cars not being repaired and J replaced on the track until the .next raorn - ing. The train reached Bclton just in time j to make connection with the train to Green- j villo. . We would call attention to the reduction j in the price cf guano as announced in the J adveriaserneni of Messrs. Bleckley, Brown & Co., which appears elsewhere. They sell the well-known and popular Wando and J'Carolina brands. Tho cotton option price of the Wando is now tho 'tame as it was last year. Farmers wishing to purchase "will find the standard of these brands fully np to what they have hitherto been. The public, especially farmer j, are reques? ted to call on Reed & Stephens, carriage manufacturers of this place, who have im -proved their working force and are now -prepared to do all kinds of plantation work, besides repair work, which they have long been known to do in the best manner. They still keep a stock of their vehicles on hand, and have reduced all prices to suit | the times. 1 We would ask attention to the advertise- j ment of Navassa Guano, which appears in : another column. This brand has been used | V by many ox' our farmers, and has been proven to he a most excellent manure. Parties wishing to purchase or procure I further information as to it can do so by calling on Mr. J. K Peoples, the agent for ] this place, who will take great pleasure in giviDg terms,"6Ja Mr. 8. A. McCully, the efficient cotton weigher at this place informs us that during the month of January past there were 1488 bales of cotton shipped from this depot against 904 for tho same month of 1878. This shows an increase in the trade of An? derson for January, 1879, of 584 bales ovor that of January. 1878. This swells the ag? gregate number of bales received at the j depot at this place during the present sea? son to 11,820 against 7,912 for the samel period last year, showing an increase in the | receipts in favor of this year of 4,228 bales. Tho pcoplo ef tho surrounding country have discovered that Anderson is the best and safest market for supplies and dry goods. Circuit Court. The February term of the Circuit Court -for this County wiU convene on next Mon? day week, Judge T. B. Fr?ser presiding.

A Complimentary Suggestion. The Abbeville Press and Banner pays the Intelligences the following compliment, which, coming from s paper which displays as much ability and skill in the newspaper business as our neighbor does, is very highly appreciated by us: As many of our country exchanges fill their first and fourth pages with dead ad? vertisements, and miscellaneous matter, set in leaded long primer, would it not be well for them to make arrangements with the Axdebsojt IxTXLUoxxcxB to print these pages for them? The selections in that be improved. With plenty ?. ready set ftv their own paper, and a fast press, the IvrstuoBxcEB is better prepared to do this work than any other paper of our acquaintance, and we presume the proprie? tors would be satisfied with a very srnall -profit; if so, the arrangement would bo a aving to those for whom they work. -4- <"?,. ?l,?f 11 V ywrnrU Death of Bev. Jacob Burriss. The readers of the Intelligencer will re? gret to learn that Rev. Jacob Burriss, who has been ill for several months, died at his residence near Anderson on last Tuesday evening. Mr. Burriss was in his eighty eighth year at the time of his death, and had always resided in this County, where he has a very large and influential family connection. Mr. Burriss was one of the oldest Baptist Ministers in the State, and has always manifested a very deep interest in the affairs of his denomination, always attending its associational meetings, and participating actively in its deliberations. Mr. Burriss was a very active and energetic man, which traits, combined with good judgment and prudence, enabled him to amass a large and valuable property. He has not been actively engaged in the minis? try for a number of years, but as the lead? ing member of the old Salem Church, he accomplished within tho past few years a great work in the erection of a handsome and commodious brick house of worship, to which ho contributed most liberally of his abundant means. He was a kind and benevolent neighbor, an amiable and pleas? ant companion, and a pious Christian. At this timo we cannot present a full sketch of his life, which has extended through such a long period of eventful years. Ho was one of the connecting links between a genera? tion which is now nearly extinct and our own time. By his death sorrow is carried to the hearts of hundreds or relatives and friends. The funeral services will take place this morning at eleven o'clock, at the residence of the deceased, and the remains will be: interred in the family burying ground near by. The Phosphate Sleeting. In accordance with the published call fpr a meeting of the farmers of Anderson County at Anderson Court House on last Monday to take into consideration the ac? tion of the manufacturers of commercial phosphates, by which they had combined to raise the cotton option price of fertilizers, a large crowd assembled in the Masonic Hall at twelve o'clock, and organized by electing Col. Thomas H. Russell President and Col. R. "VV. Simpson Secretary. Hon. W. C. Brown moved that a com? mittee of one from each township be ap? pointed to consider and report upon all res? olutions which should be brought before the meeting. i Pending the consideration of the resolu? tion Col. E. M. Rucker addressed th j meet? ing and urged the importance of acorn ui na? tion of thb agricultural interests of tho country'to resist the encroachments of mo? nopolists, and secure for the farmer that consideration and protection to which-he is entitled. During his speech Col. Rucker was frequently cheered, and at its conclu? sion Maj. George'W. Maret spoke in favor of the resolution, taking the ground that the present prices of fertilizers would be ruinous to those who use them, and that the meeting should do something to secure unity of action among the farmers of this and surrounding counties. Dr. Brown's resolution was then adopted, and the following committee was appointed trader it: Brushy Creek, J. Jameson; Garvin, John Newton; Pendleton, W.W.Russell; Fork, G. W. Maret; W?liamston, J)t. John Wil? son ; Hopewell, M. B. Williams; Centre v ill e, J. Bel ton Watson; Rock Mills, Joseph Caldwell j Belton, Dr. W. C. Brown; Broad away, L. E. Campbell; Anderson, E. M. Rucker; Yarenncs,-L. E. Stevenson; Sa? vannah, Wm. Jones; Honea Path, R. N. Wright; Martin, James Drake; Hall, J. P. McGce; Corner, Dr. J. H. Raid. Hon. R. W. Simpson and W. W. Russell, Etq., offered resolutions, which were read and referred to the committee, and Colonel Simpson spoke with earnestness upon the subject, expressing himself in favor of re? pealing all of the phosphate rights granted away by the State, and entering upon and nsing them upon such conditions as to pre? vent the exportation of this valuable mine of State wealth, which, under the present system, was being rapidly removed from the State at a mere song. He was in favor of tho State manufacturing commercial fer? tilizers and furnishing it to the planters of the State at the cost of manufacture. He spoke of the immense opposition which , would come from those now engaged in the manufacture of phosphates to such a pro? position, and urged tho planters to make a stroug and vigorous fight for it, assuring them that in the end they would succeed, and reap the great advantages to be derived from such a course. He told them that ceasing to use these phosphates for the present season might reduce the price some, but that the companies now engaged in tho manufacture of these phosphates have a demand outsido of tho State for more than they can supply, and therefore the only permanent remedy for the monopoly is State interference. At the conclusion of his remarks, which were frequently applauded, Col. Simpson was, by motion, added to the committee, which then retired into one of the rooms to prepare the report. During this absence, Maj. E. B. Murray, by invitation, addressed the meeting, and spoke of the combination of manufacturers showing a disposition to control the prico of fertilizers by other means than the rules which regulate tho common business of life, and the result of this action in the Augusta meeting was to fix an arbitrary value on guano when paid in cotton, and to remove that healthful competition which is regula? ted by supply and demand. He thought the combinations which are entered into by capital in the commercial centres was the source of much loss and hardship to pro? ducers generally. The reduction of the cash price of fertilizers and increasing the cotton option price was of very little conse? quence to tho planter, as nine-tenths of them buy on the cotton option plan, and therefore could not avail themselves of cash rates. He expressed himself as op? posed to the State engaging in manufactur? ing as a general rule, but said that unless the guano companies recede from their un? warranted exactions in this matter he would favor the State entering into the manufac? ture of commercial fertilizers, and by com? petition forcing these companies to come down. The committee on resolutions then made tho following report, which was unani? mously adopted, after remarks from Capt. W. D. Evins, who spoke in favor of it, claiming that he had advocated these views for a long time past: Resolved, By the citizens of Anderson County, in mass meeting assembled, that the recent action of the companies manu? facturing commercial manures, at a meet? ing in Augusta, December 18th, 1878, band? ing themselves togother, and in the midst of general suffering, and at a time when all kinds of agricultural products arc deprecia? ted in price, and when the great mass of the tillers of the soil find it hard to exist, thoy regard as a public wrong and a,bl.?w aimed at the best interest of this Commonwealth. Resolved, That the monopolists who con? spired to commit this wrong arc enemies to the farming community, and as such should be deprived immediately of any and all privileges eithor to dig, "mine or manufac? ture commercial fertilizers. Resolved, That we appeal to farmers, and all others interested in the success of agri? culture, wherever scattered over the State, to unite in opposition to the phosphate monopolistii and ull the influence they can bring to bear, and to continue in their oppo? sition until every vestige of a monopoly, which seeks self aggrandizement at the ex? pense of tlit! rights of others, b rooted out existence. Tteolrcd, ThU unless tho manufacturers of commercial fertilizers reduce tho price to at*least what it was last year, the consum? ers be advised not to purchase a single pound, and in the future unanimously and earnestly resist any attempt on the part of guano manufacturers or others to extort from the farmer ruinous prices for their productions. . Resolved, That the President of this meet? ing be, and lie is hereby, instructed to furn? ish n copy of these proceedings to tho Pres? ident of the Senate and the Speaker of the House as Boon as the Assembly shall meet at ita next session, and that he, in the name of the people of Anderson County, petition the Assembly to repeal all charters granted to companies to dig and mine phosphates in the navigable rivers and streams of this State, and to enact such legislation as will Elaco the whole phosphate interest in the ands of the State, where it properly be? longs. The thanks of the meeting were upon motion returned to the Masonic fraternity for the use of their Hall. The proceedings were ordered to be published in the Ander? son, Columbia and Charleston papers, and the meeting adjourned subject to the call of the Chairman. The Hall was crowded, and the uttermost enthusiasm prevailed. It was evident from the sentiment manifested throughout tho County that the people did not intend to use phosphates to any exteut without tho agreement in the Augusta Convention was cancelled. If the companies are wise they will restore their prices for cotton option to last year's rates, for if they do not they will find that a strong influence will be brought to bear to secure State manufacture, and then they will; have to sell for much less than they have done heretofore. Tho meet? ing was temperate but determined, and it will no doubt have a beneficial effect. The Lhwh of Rent. Mn. Editor: A little sad experience, within the last few weeks, has convinced me that some improvement on our rent laws is absolutely essential to the future prosperity of our country. Under the slave labor system the question was one of minor importance, but under the present changed condition of our labor system, becomes a question of the highest importance, that tho mutual rights and duties of the tenant sys? tem should be so plain, so simple, so effec? tive and so cheap, that a resort to litigation would scarcely ever be necessary. In order "to attain this end, the first step that ought to be taken by the Legislature is to extend the jurisdiction of Trial Justices so as to embrace all farm rents, even to tho sum of five hundred dollars, or more if necessary. To do thia it would be necessary t? make I said courts a court of record, whore all rent and labor contracts fop each township should be filed. The propriety of said change can be seen almost at a glance. Take a case: A renter, in whom the land? lord had the utmost confidence, on the plea of getting a better price for his cotton, takes bis entire crop to Greenville, sells out, puts his money in bis pocket and runs away. There is still a portion of the crop left, the| com, cotton seed, <fec., but it had been re? moved to another farm than the one on which the crop was grown, with numerous smaller creditors than the landlord. The question at once arises, does the removal of the crop from the farm on which it was | grown abate or modify one iota of the land? lord's rights ? If it does, of course, if the rent is even a hi ndred dollars, while he is gone to tho Court House to obtain the necessary papers, other creditors with smaller claims may, in a much shorter time, get an attachment, and to that extent put the landlord to a disadvantage. Then, again, tho proceedings in such a case, as the law now stands, would cost probably five times as much as tho same kind of process would cost in a magistrate's court. Thcro is another question of perhaps far | greater magnitude, in the case supposed, which is, docs the homestead apply, and, if so, to what extent? These and other ques? tions which would naturally suggest them? selves, in the case supposed, demands thorough investigation, and the next Legis? lature, if the late act does not cover the I ground, should make the necessary amend- [ ments. A Farmer. TowuvlUc. Mr. Zachariah Felton, who was bom and reared in this County, and who was favora? bly known to many of your readers, died | recently at his home near Cartcrsvillo, Ga., where he had resided since 1872.
