County vs. R. S. Bailey, el aLt for assess?
ments for draining Rocky River. The de?
cision is in fjvbr of the defendants, and is
given with elaborate argument and citation

the case is one of public importance.
The account of the anniversary celebra?
tion of the Connor Light Dragoons reached
us on Wednesday morning, arv* was too
long for insertion this week. It will ap?
pear, however, in our next issue. We take
this occasion again to remind our corres?
pondents that, as the paper goes to press at
noon on Wednesday, it is necessary for
them to send in communications which are
long on Monday or early Tuesday morning
at the latest, in order that they may not be
delayed for a week before they can be in?
serted.
That cotton goods should become higher
when money is more scarce and no cotton
for sale, is an unjust turn of events; and it
is worthy of note and appreciation that the
enterprising firui of Arnstein & Rose,?pro?
prietors of the popular New York Cash
Store, are not only keeping the prices down,
but for the next ten days offer greater in?
ducements than ever in their immense stock
of dry and fancy goods, boots and shoes,
clothing and hats, which fact will insure
them, as their liberality fully deserves, an
increased patronage. *
Mr. J. R. Meredith, a worthy citizen of
tEe Fork, had the misfortune of losing his
residence by fire on Friday, the 8th instant.
It was a two-story building, and contained
not only the household furniture and cloth?
ing for the family, but their supply of pro?
visions as well. None of the family were at
home, and consequently everything was
lost. The good people of that section, how?
ever, prompted by the most generous im?
pulses, have made up for Mr. Meredith by
contributions almost as much as he lost.
The fire originated from a stroke of lightn?
ing.
The annual conference of the Greenville
District of the M. E. Church in this State
was held in the city of Greenville last week,
commencing on Thursday morning and
closing Sunday night. The meeting was a
harmonious and pleasant one, and was at?
tended by about seventy-five delegates and
ministers. The reports from the different
charges in the District were encouraging,
and the presence of Bishop Wightman dur?
ing the session added a great deal to the in?
terest of the conference. Rev. J. E. Carlisle^.
Capt. J. W. Daniels and H. G. Scudday,
Esq., represented the Church at this place.
It is snrprising that in an agricultural
section like ours there should be not a sin?
gle first-class Seed house to supply our
farmers with anything and everything they
may need in the way of Seeds. Apprecia?
ting the importance and necessity of such
a house in the up-country, Sloan Bros., of
Greenville, have decided to go extensively
into the business. They are just in receipt
of 125 bushels barley, and have ordered a
large lot of clover and other grass seed.
They expect to keep on hand at each season
everything in demand for that season, and
feel confident of building up a heavy trade
in this line throughout the up-country by
close prices, prompt attention and first-class
goods. 1J
The authorities of the Greenville and
Columbia Railroad have let a contract to
Mr. John Cary, of Seneca City, for the
building of a depot at that place, and work
was to have been commenced on it on
Tuesday. It will be a very great accommo?
dation to the merchants of Anderson, and
Pendleton, as they can hereafter order their
goods from the West and North via Seneca
City, instead of by Greenville and Colum?
bia as heretofore. It is an improvement
that should have been made long ago, as it
has been greatly needed ever since the com?
pletion of the Air Line Road. We under?
stand the new Superintendent contemplates
making many other improvements in the
Road, which will not only increase its busi?
ness but its accommodations as well. We
only hope we have not boon misinformed.
Gen. James 8. Connor, receiver, and Co'.
Huger, general freight agent of the Green?
ville and Columbia Railroad, were in An?
derson on Tuesday, and made a very favor?
able impression on the morchants of An?
derson as to what they intend to do for us
in the way of freights. This visit was no
doubt partly intended to chill the interest
of the people of Anderson in the Savannah
Valley Railroad, and might have the effect
of doing so if our citizens bad any guar?
antee that freights would continue as low
as these gentlemen propose to place them.
The trouble, however, is that there is no
such guarantee, and on the contrary it is
very certain that the Greenville and Co
lnmbia road will be sold to some strong
corporation, who will use it, to suit their
own interests. Our people cannot depend
safely upon any such temporary arrange?
ments.
The Columbia Register says that "the off
year" in politics "is fairly tho fhir year,"
and suggests to the people of the State to
endeavor to make our agricultural fairs this
fall more interesting and attractive than
usual, and we sincerely trust they will act
upon the suggestion. There are many good
and sufficient reasons why our farmers,
mechanics, housewives, and everybody,
should contribute to the interest, support
and encouragement of these annual gather?
ings of our citizens and the exhibitions of
their industry, enterprise and progress.
There is nothing that conduces more to the
development of the resources of our coun?
try than these exhibitions of the products
of the soil, of the work shop and of the
manufactory, and the greater the interest
taken in them the greater the good that fol?
lows. By reason of their calling the farmers
can contribute more than any other class to
the success of these institutions. Show us
a farmer or mechanic that takes an interest
and pride in his county fair and we will
show you one that is both industrious and
enterprising; show us a county with a good
agricultural fair and we will show you one
the farmers and mechanics of which are
enterprising and prosperous. The State
fairs are also important, and while we may
not realize and appreciate to the same ex?
tent the good that results from the State
fair as we do from the county fair, it is just
as important that it be sustained and im?
proved. Every county should have an ag?
ricultural fair at least once a year; the State
fair should be held after the county fairs,
and the articles receiving the premiums at
the latter could be sent to the State exhibi?
tion, which would always insure a large
representation of the varied industries of
the State._
Railroad Meeting at Anderson C. II.
According to previous announcement, a
meeting was held in the Court House on
the 14th inst., in the interest of the Savan?
nah Valley Railroad. Maj. B. F. Whitner
was elected Chairman and J. E. Brcazcalc,
Esq., Secretary. The Chairman explained
the object of the meeting to be the discus
siou of the question of subscript ion to the
capital stock of the Savannah Valley Rail?
road by the town of Anderson, said sub?
scription to be raised by taxation, under
the new charter, the amount being $12,000,
to be paid in three annual payments.
Col. E. M. Rnckcr was called for, and re?
sponded in an able speech in favor of the
Road, showing what advantages the con?
templated Road would be to the Town and
County of Anderson; that it made Ander?
son a distributing point for freights, and
would thus build it up. Of course towns
would spring up on the line of the Road
hoped they would?for thev would be to
the interest of Anderson. We needed com?
petition in railroads?it would enable us to
get freights cheaper. He urged that no
heed be given to the whispers of difficulties
in the way by the opponents of the Road ;
that men would be found to oppose every
enterprise.
After Col. Rucker's speech, opponents to
the enterprise were extended an invitation
to express their opinions.
Col. J. N. Brown responded, no said he
was opposed to the Road: 1st, because the
enterprise would not be worth the money;
2nd, the sum to bo raised by taxation was
so small it would not build the Road ; 3d,
the Road would not benefit Anderson; 4th,
the Road could not sustain itself from the
country through which it passed, and that
small towns would spring up on tho Road
that would injure Anderson; 5th, men who
favored taxation to build the Greenwood
and Augusta Railroad were r>ow instituting
legal proceedings to resist tho payment of
the taxes ; Gth, can not mortgage the Road
when graded, because capitalists will not
advance the money. ?
Maj. E. B. Murray was next called for,
and argued that the road would be of great
advantage to Anderson because it would
afford competition, and thus reduce freights.
He then showed by the result of the Green?
wood and Augusta Railroad, which has
been graded with an expense of less than
$050 to the mile, that the amount asked for
on this line would be enough to grade and
cross-tie the road, after which we have as?
surances that the iron can be procured by a
mortgage of the road-bed. He spoke of
the development which this road would
give to a productive and fertile country,
and of the comparatively small sum neces?
sary to secure it. He showed that the
small towns along the Air Line had not in?
jured Greenville or Spartanburg, and argued
that they would not hurt Anderson. He
concluded by 3aying that he believed the
Road was assured to Lowndcsville, and if
we do not bring it to Anderson, our town
will be ruined.
The meeting evinced great interest in the
Road, and adjourned with cheers for the
enterprise.
Railroad Meeting in Ccntrevillo Township.
Mr. Editoe : In pursuance to a call quite
a number of the citizens of Centreville
Township met at Hunter's Spring on Tues?
day, the 19th inst., to discuss the propriety
of the township subscribing five thousand
dollars to the capital stock of the Savannah
Valley Railroad. The meeting was organ?
ized by calling Capt. J. Y. Fretwcll to the
Chair and S. M. Pegg to act as Secretary.
The Chairman explained the object of the
meeting, and stated that all who opposed
the subscription would be heard as well as
those who favored the same.
James M. Latimer, President of the Com?
pany, being present, was called upon and
responded in his usual clear and business?
like style, stating that the Road would be
built to Lowndesvillc, and that if it was
not extended to Anderson, where the
Lowndesvillc people desired it to go, it
would certainly bo extended by way of the
Belton and Easley Railroad to the Air Line.
Capt. J. T. Barnes was next called upon,
and made an earnest and eloquent appeal
in favor of the subscription?using many
strong arguments in its support.
Col. E. M. Rucker was next called upon,
and made a strong and knock-down argu?
ment in favor of the subscription.
Major E. B. Murray was next called for,
and was on hand with the facts and figures,
and made one of his best practical speeches
?it was a demonstrator.
Gen. J. W. Harrison and J. C. C. Fcath
erston, W. S. Brown and Kenon Brcazeale,
Esqs., and Rev. J. O. Hudson favored the
subscription.
At this stage of the meeting Mr. J. Bel
ton Watson said that he would avail him?
self Of the courtesy extended by the Chair,
of allowing any to speak who worn opposed
to the subscription. A respectful hearing
was given Mr. Watson, who said in sub?
stance that he was not against the Road,
and endorsed everything that the gentlemen
had said in regard to its benefits, out he did
not like the plan.
The last speaker was the chairman, Capt
J. Y. Fretwcll, who became warmed up on
the subject, and made a most stirring appeal
for all to voto for the subscription. The
Captain was loudly applauded from the be?
ginning to the end of Iiis remarks.
The thanks of the meeting wore tendered
Rev. J. O. Hudson for the use of his school
room In which to hold the meeting.
The meeting adjourned to meet on Tues?
day, the 2nd September, at tho same place,
When a fuller attendance from the township

BEST
GIN MADE.
Williamston, S. C, June 30, 1879.
Messrs. Blecklev, Brown & Co., Agents,
Anderson, S. C.
Gentlemen: The Ncblett A Good
rick 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
Neblett &, Goodrich Gin, with a corres?
ponding yield, is as tine 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. WHARTON,
Moflattsville, S. C.
The above Gins are for sale by BLECK
