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.

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

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.

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.

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. "

W. Humphreys, at Anderson Court House,
on next Monday at 11 o'clock, for the pur?
pose of consulting upon matters pertaining

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.

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.

YOU arc respectfully invited to call on
us and examine the samples now on
hand of the celebrated Daniel Pratt
Gin Co.'s Gin, Condenser and
Feeder, which are far superior in points
of durability and excellence to any other
Machines now being offered to do the same
kind of work. Wrc call your attention to
the annexed certificate of Mr. E. B. Itiee, of
Belton, S. C, who has been using one of
our Gins for the past two seasons; and in
addition we refer you to the following gen?
tlemen who have "our Gina a nd Condensers

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.

Messrs. Blecklev, Biiown & Co., Agents,

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,
