THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. Dearly 1900. The Willi.amston Wonder Explained. A note to the Charleston Newt and Courier from Dr. J. H. J. Sams, of Knoxville, Ten? nessee, establishes beyond a doubt the fact that Marens Johnson, tbe colored man who created such excitement in Williamston a few weeks ago by pretending to suddenly gain the power to hear and to speak, having hitherto been both deaf and dumb, is a fraud. Dr. 8ams says: "No such person as Marcus, nor any other colored mute, was ever in any way connected with our school, either as an employee or pupil. 'Marcus' is evidently a humbug." A Case- of Poisoning, Probably. Colored people who came from the ML Sinai camp meeting on Monday report that a colored man died near that place on Sun? day night or early Monday morning from eating a watermelon, which he bought of a colored man who had melons for sale on the grounds during Sunday. It is supposed that the melon had either been impregnated -with poison or that it was sickly and pro? duced cholera. The theory of the poison? ing is most probably true, however, as the symptoms were those generally produced by arsenic "Whether tie poison was put iuto the melon with the intention of taking the life of this particular person, or had been stolen from a patch, the owner of which hdd prepared for melon thieves, is not known. A colored woman who ate a portion of the melon was also made quite Sunday School Celebration. The Sunday School at Walters' Church celebrated its anniversary on last Sabbath morning, and can boast of the distinction of having met on every Sabbath daring the year. Addresses were made by Messrs. G. P. Tolly and B. B. Murray, after which the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That the thanks of the Sabbath School at Carawell Institute are due, and are hereby most cheerfully tendered,' to Messrs. G. P. Tolly and E. B. Murray for the very able and appropriate addresses which they have delivered to us on this oar first anniversary as a Sabbath School. Resolved, That the Anderson Intelli? gences be requested to publish these resolu? tions. The superintendent,. CoL W. E. Walters, then delivered an excellent address, after which the school was dismissed. This is really a live and enthusiastic school, and though small in numbers is doing a good work. The Fire at Pendleton. The store room occupied by Messrs. G. G. Richards & Co. in Pendleton was consumed by fire on the night of the 1st inst, and the stock of goods almost entirely lost. The work was that of an incendiary, who had perhaps robbed the store and then burnt it to conceal his crime. During the fire both white and colored people worked with the uttermost energy and skill to prevent the spreading of the flames, which they were able to accomplish in consequence of the heavy rains which had been falling. The buUding was owned by Dr. J. H. Maxwell and valued at $2,000. It was uninsured. The stock of Messrs. G. G. Richards & Co., which was valued at 32.500 was only in -3 e? ?1 nnn <,~ *u?<- * ?.?i i?? u the tire was about $3,500. There is no clue to the perpetrator of this crime butt every effort will be made to ferret it out and bring the guilty parties to justice. Another Literary Society. Pursuant to appointment, several young men met in the office of Moore & Allen on Tuesday evening last for the purpose of taking steps towards the organization of a literary society. Mr. Columbus Wardlaw was called tp the chair, and Mr. W. D. Bewley requested to act as secretary. After remarks by Messrs. W. W. Keys, H. G. Scudday and A. S. Todd, favoring the or? ganization of the society, a committee was appointed to draft a constitution and by? laws, to be submitted to an adjourned meet? ing on next Tuesday evening, at which it is hoped there will be a fall attendance of the young men of the town. The question, "Have the results of the Civil War been beneficial to tbe South?" will also he dis? cussed. We sincerely hope that the present efforts of the young men to establish a first class literary society in Anderson will prove successful, as it is much needed, and if prop? erly conducted can be made of very ereat benefit to our entire community, and espe? cially to our young men. The- Ball and Bat. A match game of baseball was played at this place on Saturday morning between the Resolutes of Greenville and Hamskins of Anderson, which resulted in an over? whelming victory for the Greenville boys. The score stood as follows: Resolutes ?3 1 1 5 7 3 4 2 1 ? 27 Hamskins?2 2 0 1 0 3 1 2 2 ? 13 It is but fair to the Hamskins to state, how? ever, that they were not in practice, and that their nine was not composed of their best players, as several of them were dis? abled. It was more of a scrub than picked nine. The game was commenced on Friday afternoon, and had it not been broken up by the rain would doubtless have terminat? ed in favor of the Anderson club. They had only played two innings when they stopped, and the score stood 8 to 0 in favor of the Hamskins, with the Resolutes badly hacked. The Greenville boys are well ??nr. A nlav a trnnA eramo Knh fhptr JJI 1K*IW| ? J.v? O-T victory this time will not compare with the one of the Hamskins over them some time ago. They left Anderson Saturday afternoon for Pendleton, and cn Monday played a game with the club at that place. The score stood 19 to 18, in favor of the Reso? lutes. The Town Election. The election on Monday for Intendant and Wardens of the town of Andersou was the most quiet and orderly that has been held since the war, and the number of votes cast was decidedly the smallest, being (only 155, although 234 voters had registered. There was but one ticket in the field, the Democratic ticket, and everybody, white and black, Democrat and Republican, voted it without hardly a word of opposition, there being only 7 votes cast that were not strictly for the nominees. The vote for the nominees stood as follows: FOR INTENDANT : G. F. Tolly.153. FOB WABDENS ! E. F. Hurrah._......153. W. S. Ligon.154. T n. Wklt.RnM . 152 The vote does not by any means show the full strength of the Democracy of An? derson, as many members of the Club did not vote. The fact that there was no oppo? sition ticket in the field made them indif? ferent about voting. The gentlemen elec? ted compose the present Council, who have, during the past two years they have been in office, discharged their duties in a most acceptable manner to onr people, and their re-election for another term we regard as most Jortunate for the interests of the town. There has not been a Council since the war that can show as good a record, and we are satisfied that they will continue to exerciso the good judgment and eminent ability in the administration of the affairs of the town in the future that has characterized them in the past. The Salutla Baptist Association held its 77th annual session with the Mount Bethel Church last week, beginning its session on Tuesday and closing on Thursday. All the Churches except three were represented. The attendance was large and orderly. The old officers were re-elected by acclama? tion without a dissenting voice. The re? ports of the various standing committees were concisely and forcibly drawn, and those on missions and education elicited considerable discussion, disclosing the fact that the Association is in full sympathy and practical co-operation with the great missionary and educational enterprises of the denomination. The financial plan adopted several years ago is working admi? rably, and a large amount of money was raised and applied to the various charitable and religious works in which the Associa? tion is engaged. The plan of operation supersedes the necessity of ogents visiting the Churches to raise money, and commits the whole matter to an Executive Board Icomposed of fifteen ministers and laymen, whose duty it is to visit every Church and place before it the work in which the Asso? ciation is engaged. The Association was largely attended, and a hearty, cordial and hospitable welcome extended by the Church and citizens in the neighborhood to the delegates and visitors. BRIEF MENTION. The mountains are full of the low-coun? try people. The Carolina Collegiate Institute building is undergoing repairs. Preaching in the Baptist Church on next Sunday by Rev. H. B. Fant. There has been but three deaths among the white people in the town of Anderson this year. Cotton is beginning to open. Mr. Patrick Owen sent us a boll on Monday that was fully open. There are now 12 prisoners in the County jail, 5 of whom were put there for eating other people's watermelons. Those indebted to Mr. Julius Poppe should read his advertisement in this issue. He evidently means what he says. The workmen of Mr. J. F. Wilson have commenced laying the foundation for the new stores on McCully's Corner. The heavy rain on Friday afternoon did considerable damage in several sections of the County in overflowing bottom corn. Emmie Kieffer, only child of J. F. and K. S. Anderson, of Greenwood, aged one year and nine months, died on the 7th inst The article on our fourth page, "Thoughts for TheMonth," from the SovHiern Cultivator, is full of valuable suggestions to the farmers. A new invoice Hats just received by C. A. Reed, Agent. His Hat trade still increases, and he is determined to keep the prices down. * The Council met as usual on Tuesday, but attended to no business except to pass on accounts, amounting in the aggregate to $326.65. Messrs. Barr & Co. offer great inducements for the patronage of the trading public for the next thirty days. See their advertise? ment in this issue. An aged citizen of Pendleto'n, who has been a close weather observer, says that there are as many snows in winter as there are fogs in August. A string band, composed of about thirteen persons, has just been organized at Lowudes ville. Just to talk about a railroad puts life and energy into some people. The camp meeting at Providence camp ground will be held this year in the present month, commencing on Thursday, 28th, and continuing through the Sunday fol? lowing. The rabbits are becoming so numerous in this County since the stock law has been in operation, that some of our fanners are be? coming anxious to find some means for their extermination. We direct the attention of our readers to the advertisement of the Atlanta Mechcal College. Its reputation is fully established, add we do not hesitate to present it as worthy of patronage. The colored camp meeting at ML Sinai, which commenced on Thursday and closed on Monday, was attended by a very large number of the colored people, who were unusually orderly and well behaved. We regret to learn that our friend, Capt. J. C. Stribling, was seriously gored by an unmanageable bull on the 8th inst. We hope, however, that he will soon be entire? ly over the effects of his unequal combat. The following are the petit jurors for the United States District Court, which con? venes in Greenville on the 25th inst., from Anderson County: John Wilson, T. J. Webb, G. F. Tolly and Cornelius Stribling. It is docidedly the best cow we ever heard of, at least for the money. He says that she gives six gallons of milk a day, which yields four pounds of butter, and that he sold her for $10. This stock law is making wonderful developments. The number of hens filed in the Clerk's office of this County for this year up to Tuesday last was 1,429, the largest number ever filed or recorded in any one year since the law was first passed. The smallest sum for which any lien is given is $2.50. We would call the attention of our read? ers to the advertisement of the Gullett gin, which appears in another column. It is very highly recommended, and those who want a good gin should call on Mr. Peoples and examine the Gullett before purchasing. The regular communion service of the Presbyterian Church will be held on next Sunday moming. Preaching will be had on Saturday morning as usual. Dr. Frier son will be assisted by Dr. Adger, of Pen dleton, one of the ablest divines of the State. Mrs. Crocker, wife of Mr. J. A. Crocker, who resides on the plantation of Mr. T. B. Lee, died on Monday afternoon last. She was a middle aged lady, and had many friends in the community in which she lived. She survived a daughter exactly two months. The Fall term of the Carolina Collegiate Institute will open on Tuesday, September 2nd. The Institute will be under the same management as heretofore, with the addi? tion of the department of painting and drawing, which will be presided over by Prof. George E. Brown. The store rooms of McCully & Taylor and A. P. Hubbard are to be enlarged and im? proved by an addition of 40 feet to their length. The old grocery rooms in the rear of the main building have already been torn away. This is another instance of Mr. S. McCully's enterprise. Mr. Thomas J. Stevenson, son of Mr. John A. Stevenson, of Rock Mills town? ship, died on Sunday night last after an illness of only a day or two, in the 25th year of his age. He had been in bad health for some time past, but was able to attend the Baptist Assoc iation last week. He was a member of the Baptist Church, and his death will be mourned by a large circle of relatives and friends. " MC illVJ ICljUMltU ..... A *wvw? v? Methodist Churcli to announce that Rev. J. S. Murray will preach in his pulpit at 101 o'clock next Sunday morning. Rev. J. E. Carlisle will attend the Annual District Conference of his Church, which convened at Greenville to-day, and will be absent on next Sunday. Messrs. G. F. Tolly and Win. M. Wilcox will open in a few days a furniture store in the thriving town of Elberton, Ga. Mr. Wilcox, who will take charge of the estab? lishment, left for that place on Tuesday. We wish him unbounded success and pros? perity in his new home. He is worthy the confidence of any people. A public meeting will be held at Central on Saturday, August 23d, for the purpose of discussing the stock law, and the follow? ing gentlemen of Anderson are invited to speak on the occasion: Hon. B. F. Crayton, Maj. E. B. Murray and Col. E. M. Rucker. The Representatives of Pickens, and other speakers of note will also be present. We are requested to announce that there will be a meeting of the officers of the Eastern Regiment at the office of Gen. W. W. Humphreys, at Anderson Court House, on next Monday at 11 o'clock, for the pur? pose of consulting upon matters pertaining to the military. All of the officers of this Regiment are earnestly requested to be present. Maj. A. J. Dodamead, well known as the proprietor of the Virginia House in Colum? bia, and as Assistant Superintendent of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad during the administration of its affairs by Colonel Thomas Dodamead, will henceforth devote his entire attention to the interests of his popular boarding house, which will render it much more attractive. The Sunday school at Midway in this County will have a celebration and picnic on next Friday, at which addresses will be delivered during the morning by Rev. D. E. Frierson, D. D., and Mr. G. F. Tolly. The neighboring Sabbath schools and the public generally have been invited to attend. Those who are fortunate enough to go, will no doubt spend a most agreeable day. The continued ilrought through this sec? tion of country during June and the greater part of July was not as disastrous to the crops as was generally apprehended. The wheat crop was a good one, and is now garnered; the oat was better than an aver? age, and it is hoped that corn, although much injured on the uplands, will amount to a half or two-thirds of a crop. Should the yield of the cotton crop prove what it now promises, we may expect a revival of trade this fall. Tho members of the Lodge of Good Sa? maritans at this place are endeavoring to establish Lodges of their Order in other portions of the County. A leading light, ac? companied by one of his brethren, went do wn into Savannah township last week and urged the colored people of that section to form themselves into a Lodge, and share in the great benefits that accrue to the members of the Order. But we under? stand they did not meet with a very cordial welcome, and of those who attended the largest number ridiculed rather than en? dorsed the suggestion. The dignitaries re? turned home without having accomplished the object of their trip, and have oppointed another meeting for the same township. The meeting of the Anderson Democratic Club on Thursday evening last, held for the purpose of nominating a ticket for Intend? ant and Wardens of the town, passed off pleasantly. The meeting was held in the Court House, and was called to order by the President, Mr. G. F. Tolly, who stated in a few words the object of the meeting, and declared the chair ready to receive nominations. General Humphreys nom? inated the entire old Council, consisting of Mr. G. F. Tolly, Intendant, W. S. Ligon, J. C. Whitefield, E. F. Murrah and J. F. Wilson, Wardens; and Capt. John E. Allen nominated the following: J. L. Orr, Intend? ant, J. D. Maxwell, J. A. Brock, John O'Donnell and J. J. Baker. After remarks by Maj. E. B. Murray in favor of tho first nomination, and by Capt. Allen in favor of the last, a ballot was had, which resulted in the choice of the first named gentlemen as the candidates of the Club. Tho Extraordinary Drought. Mr. Editor: The two months' drought through which our section of country has just passed is likely to result in serious dis? aster to all the agricultural interests and in? directly to all the commercial and indus? trial pursuits of the community. There are, however, many valuable lessons to be learned from this afflictive dispensation of Providence, which it would be well for the people wisely to consider. And, first, in a religious point of view. This disastrous drought should teach the people their en? tire and absolute dependence upon the blessings of God for the bread necessary for the sustenance of man and beast. Perhaps in no part of our past history, as an agri? cultural people, was it true that greater pains had been taken in preparation for the approaching crop season than in the pres? ent. And from the time of running the first furrow till the lost, probably the pres? ent crops have been as well worked as ever before? And yet notwithstanding the clean and thorough preparation and culture, the drought has. well nfgh rendered useless and unproductive all our labors as husbandmen ?we mean in reference to hoed crops and on uplands. Fortunately the wheat and cat crops were a full average, and the corn on bottom lands is usually promising. It is usually conceded that the farmer can not hope for more than a half crop of cotton. In other words, where with ordinary sea? sons it took two acres to make a bale of cot? ton it will now take four. After the neces? sary expenses have boen taken out, especial? ly that huge guano bill, the farmer's pile will become small by degrees and beauti? fully less. If, however, the people learn from this disaster the great moral lesson of their entire and absolute dependence upon an all-wise and beneficent Creator for the bread of life, then may it indeed prove a great blessing. There is a species of infi? delity throughout the land?aye, even in the Church?that the seasons are all ordered and controlled by certain fixed laws of na? ture, and that it would be absurd to pray God for his blessing upon the labors of the husbandmen by sending the fruitful show? ers of rain. Hence, we claim for ourselves entire immunity from the controllingpowei of God in the production of crops by reason of the fruitful showers. Such is not the faith of the gospel. And again, there arc some valuable material and practical les? sons which we should learn from this dis? astrous drought in the direction of out husbandry, which may prove an incalcula? ble blessing to the farmer in tho long run, The first important lesson that we should learn is, that we should depend lass and less upon hoed and summer crops for suc? cessful agriculture, and more and more upon small grains and grasses. Thcso are for the most part winter and spring crops, made and gathered by the time the summci drought sets in. Even clover after it has been well set will produco one good cutting, if not two, before the summer drought checks its growth. Such a course of hus? bandry would largely reduce our guanc bills, and curtail the expenses of labor fullj one-half. If this should be the practica result of the last drought, then indeed will it prove a great blessing to the furmci, value of bottom lands for the production of corn. On our thin kill sides it is scarcely worth while to plant corn at all, unless the land is subsoilcd and highly manured. Our wet bottom lands, without drainage, becomo the prolific source of fever of va? rious kinds; with proper drainage they are invaluable for the production of corn and grasses. How important then that all these pestilential swamps should be turned into fruitful and productive fields. And, lastly, our farmers should provide in ample time, for the hard times approaching, by the sow? ing of barley, rye, oats and clover for win? ter pastures and early spring use. Let the turnip crop receive the most careful atten? tion. Let none, renter or landlord, omit, through carelessness or laziness, this im? portant fall crop. Do not forget the poor to be found all around you. Aid them to get bread for themselves and families in every possible way, and especially by giving them remunerative employment. One of the worthiest and most charitable citizens that I ever knew made it a point always, when the poor came for bread, to give them em? ployment by which they might earn their bread. This is- true charity. Thus, in many ways, we may aid each other to bridge over the great destitution that will be sure to follow the present extraordinary drought._ _T. H. R.

Dear Sirs?The G0-Saw Pratt Gin bought from you in the fall of 1877 has been thor? oughly tested since that time, and has given entire satisfaction. I have no hesitation in pronouncing the sample made by it to be superior to that made by any Gin known to me. I have ginned as much as 350 bales of cotton?have had no repairing to do, and the Gin is now in perfect order. Its great improvement consists in its Revolving Head, which prevents cotton roll from breaking, and which completely destroys the friction produced by cotton box, there? by increasing its speed, preventing injury to saws, and the sample from being gin-cut.

Gentlemen: The Ncblctt & Good? rich Cotton Gin bought of you some three or four years ago was, and is. the best Cotton Gin, to my mind, that is sold in this section of country. I have been a cotton producer and buyer of some experience, and can safely testify that the lint from the Ncblett & Goodrich Gin, with a corres? ponding yield, is as fine as that of any other Gin sold in this section, with a decided dif? ference in its favor with respect, to its sim? plicity of construction, durability, price and light running features. I ginned six thousand pounds of seed cotton with this Gin in one day with horse-power on a forty-saw Gin. In other words, four five hundred pound bales of cotton. J. W. DACUS. I fully concur with Mr. Dacus in the above as to the quality of this Gin, and can say that it will do all that is recommended for it. S. WHAilTON, Moffattsville, S. C.
