THE INTELLIGENCER, LOCAL, 31 ATTERS. Mali nearly 1900. BRIEF MENTION. Good batter is in demand at 15 cents. Fodder is being pulled and cotton is open? ing. An early Fall would be unusually unfa? vorable to the cotton crop this year. One hundred bushels fine seed barley for sale by Sloan Bros. Greenville, S. C. * The Good Samaritans now hold their meetings in^tlie colored Baptist Church. The proceedings of the Council are un? usually interesting this week. Be sure to read them. The weather has been unusually cool for the past few days. Fire felt comfortable on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Mr. Alonzo Welch is painting his resi? dence on Main street Its appearance will be greatly improved by the brush. A new invoice Hats just received by C. A. Eeed, Agent. His Hat trade still increases, and he is determined to keep the prices down. We venture the assertion that there is not a State in the South that has a better lot of country newspapers, taken altogether, than South Carolina. Messrs. J. P. Broyles and R. A. Reid re? turned home on Saturday after a month's visit to Greenville, Tennessee, and the coun? try roundabout. Mr. P. A. Masters brought to our office on last Friday some very pretty specimens of his sweet potato crop, which is very fine for this season of the year. ? Farmers in some sections of this County report that the cotton crop has the rust very badly, and will not make anything like a full crop in consequence thereof, Tickets will hereafter be sold over the Greenville and Columbia Railroad on Sat? urdays, good to return on Mondays, between an7 stations, at three cents per mile each way. The sale of tickets over the Blue Ridge Railroad has been so arranged as to give tickets good for three days between any points on that road at 3 cents per mile each way. A gentleman in Anderson has made $100 from the milk and hotter of one cow in four months, besides supplying the wants in that line of his own family. Who can beat it? The average value of the real estate in this County, as assessed for taxation by the Township Boards of Assessors and approved by the County Board of Equalization, is about $4.80 per acre. J. A. Brock, Esq., has returned from his visit to the White Sulphur Springs, and after a pleasant sojourn of a fortnight is again at bis post as cashier of the National Bank of Anderson. The city airs of the Anderson people at? tract the attention of former citizens who are sojourning in our midst for a time. That's because we are going to have another railroad, we presume. Bat three of the bar-rooms have as yet decided to accept licenses at $300, and con? tinue business. They were all closed on Monday and Tuesday, a thing that has not occurred in Andersen for several years past. The repainting of the doors, window shutters, etc, of the Court House offices, have greatly improved their appearance. Now the exterior of the whole building should be repainted and regranitized. It would then look decent. It is reported here, by what authority we do not know, that the passenger trains of | the Greenville & Columbia Railroad are to be fitted up with air brakes, and improved in many other respects, and that the speed of transit over the line increased. The redaction of the wages of the street hands caused those who were employed at the time to cease work, but others have gone to. work in their stead. Fifty cents a day is very good pay for day laborers at the present prices of the necessaries of life. Mr. John Peter Brown, of the Fork, we regrerto learn, has been quite ill the past ?week with something like brain fever. There was a change for the better in his condition, however, on Tuesday, and we hope soon to hear of his entire recovery. Since writing the above, and just as we go to press, the sad intelligence reaches us that Mr. Brown is dead. Eev. E. L. 8isk, the Pastor of the Town ville Baptist Church, will begin a series of meetings in that Church on next Sunday, which will be continued as the occasion may suggest. He will be assisted by Rev. G, T. Gresham, of Walhalla, and perhaps other ministers. An interesting meeting was closed at Mountain Creek Baptist Church on last Sunday, which resulted in fourteen addi? tions to the Church by baptism, one by re? storation and one by letter. The meeting is believed to have done much good, both to the Church and community. Do not forget the Railroad meeting which is to be held at Hunter's Spring at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning. Every citizen of Cen terville township who can be present should do so, as the subject to be considered is the propriety of subscribing by township taxa? tion to the Savannah VaUey Railroad. The Hartwell Sun was in mourning last week for Mrs. Myra P. Webb, wife of Dr. Charles Webb, of Hart County, and daugh? ter of Mr. John Benson, of Hartwell. She was an accomplished lady, and had many relatives and friends in this County, who will learn with sadness of her departure. Judge Reed and family returned last week from their visit to the mountains, and we are pleased to learn that the change of climate proved very beneficial to the Judge's health. Since his return he has been upon our streets several times, and is looking much better than he did before going to the mountains. A big, stout, ablebodied colored carpenter of this place lost his wife recently, and is now trying to have his children, two or or three in number, sent to the Poor House to be supported at the expense of the Coun? ty. Fortunately, he has not succeeded in his efforts to thus get rid of supporting his own offspring. It is a sad reflection on the colored race. While Mr. William Brown and family were at Hopewell Church on last Tuesday night, their residence, situated near Con? cord, and all of its contents, including even the supplies and provisions, were consumed by fire. The cause is unknown. On Wednesday the citizens and neighbors raised a considerable sum to replace a por? tion of the loss. The decree of Judge Mackcy on the great drainage case, which will be found on our first page, is to be appealed from to the Su? preme Court. Col. J. N. Brown is the at? torney for the County and Messrs. Orr <t Tribble and W. D. Evins for the defendants. Both sides of the case will be ably present? ed, and its merits will be decided by the Court of last resort in the State. Mr. James C. Keys has our thanks for a basket of the finest sweet potatoes we have seen this season. Mr. Keys always raises very fine crops of this excellent vegetable, but is this year further ahead than usnal. The largest tubers sent us were of the Flori? da yams, and measured nineteen inches around, and even the smallest would pass for large ones in most persons' patches. The Air Line Railroad has sent invitations to the various merchantile houses of this section offering them free passsage to At? lanta and return from points along this road, for the purpose of affording them in? ducements to do their trading in Atlanta. This is probably an aerangement with the merchants of Atlanta, and shows the enter? prise both of the merchants and of the rail? road authorities. We are requested to announce that the annual camp meeting at Providence Church will begin to-day and continue so as to in? clude next Sunday. The time of the meet? ing has, as will be noticed, been changed, and it is expected to have a large atttend ance and an interesting meeting. Rev. S. B. Jones, V. D., the presiding elder, and other prominent ministers of the denomi? nation, are expected to be present. We would be greatly obliged if our friends throughout the County would drop us the particulars of anything that occurs in their neighborhood worth publishing. Put it on a postal card, and don't be partic? ular about fixing it up;" we will do that. We are going to endeavor to make the In? telligences better in the future than it has ever been, and in accomplishing this end we desire the assistance of every one. On last Thursday a meeting was held at the Carswell Institute, in Hall township, for the purpose of discussing the Railroad question.* Dr. J. C. Milford was elected Chairman and Mr. B. F. Price secretary. Speeches in favor of the Rood were made by Messrs. W. C. Brown, E. B. Murray, W. W. Humphreys and Col. Latimer. The sentiment in this township seems to be overwhelmingly favorable to the Road. Mr. and Mrs. B. Frank Crayton have our svmpathy in their bereavement by the death of their interesting little son, Boss Harrison Crayton, who, on last Tuesday night at the tender age of two years, ? as taken from earth to a brighter and happier life. It sweetens grief to feel that he who is lost to us on earth is free from danger and gain in a better sphere, where he' awaits a appy reunion beyond this vale of tears. The Hampton Guardian, a new paper pub? lished at Hampton C. H. by Mr. M. B. Mc Sweeny, made its appearance on the 22nd inst. It was formerly published at Ninety Six by its present proprietor, and made for itself an enviable reputation. It promises now, however, to be even better in its new than it was in its old field, and we hope the people of Hampton County will show their appreciation of its worth by a liberal pat? ronage. A meeting of a portion of the citizens of Varennes township was held at Flat Rock on last Wednesday to consider the proprie? ty of subscribing to tbe capital stock of the Savannah Vallay Railroad. Col. J. W. Norris was called to the chair, and addresses were made by Messrs. Latimer, Divver, Tolly, Norris, Humphreys, Ruckcr and Barnes, all in favor of the Road. The sen? timent in this township is somewhat di? vided, but by far the larger portion appears to la vor the subscription. The Battalion Drill at Cross Roads on last Saturday was a most creditable affair. Mai. McGee showed himself to be a.fine drill master, and his men were well up to the manceuvers. Col. Walters and Lieut.-Col. Jones, with the regimental staff, were also present. After the drilling and speaking, the citizens ofthat section entertained their visitors with a sumptuous and abundant basket dinner, which was evidently much enjoyed by all who were present. The oc? casion was a very pleasant one. Capt. J. C. Stribling has our thanks for the largest water-melon we have ever seen, and which was grown by him on the Ashta bula Stock Farm, near Pendleton. The melon was well proportioned, and measured three feet and three inches in circumference, with a weight of forty-seven pounds. The best part of it, however, was that it was as delicious to the taste as it was attractive to the eye. Such water-melons as that are worth raising, and Capt. Stribling knows as much about how to raise them a3 any man in the County. The ladies of the Presbyterian Church invite the citizens of Anderson to a festival to be held in the Masonic Hall on Friday evening, 29th, at G o'clock, when ice cream, cake, sherbet and fruits may be enjoyed. At 7 o'clock a chaste and simple tableau will be exhibited, wholly under the control of the ladies and in tbe interest of the new Church. After the tableau tbe sale of re? freshments will be resumed. An excellent Orchestra will furnish music for the occa? sion, and it is hoped our citizens generally will torn out. Admission at the door free. There are some persons who fear that if we vote a tax to the Savannah Valley Rail? road in Anderson County our money will be taken to build the Road to Lowndesville, and we will be left without a Road after paying our money. The only guarantee that we have against this is that we are sub? scribing more money than the three Abbe? ville townships, ana can therefore control the matter; and in the next place the char? ter requires the Road to be constructed from Anderson Court House to Augusta, and not from Augusta to Anderson. The work, therefore, must begin on this end of the line, and oar money will be spent in our own midst. The review and inspection of the 11th Brigade of Cavalry, by the Adjutant and Inspector General and Governor, which takes place in Anderson to-day, promises to be a grand affair. Gen. Humphreys is ex? pecting a full turnout of both Regiments. After the inspection and review, the crowd will assemble at Hampton Park and be ad? dressed by Governor Simpson, Adjutant and Inspector General Moise and Congress? man Aiken, each of whom are accomplished and eloquent speakers. The* ladies are es? pecially and cordially invited to witness the review and attend the speaking. The occasion will be a most interesting and pleasant one. A new daily, th3 Palmetto Younian, a five column evening paper, made its appearance in Columbia for the first time on Thursday last. It is neatly printed, well edited, and gives promise of a useful and successful career in the journalistic field. It is edited and published by Mr. C. M. McJunkin, a practical printer of many years experience, and who is well known to the people of South Carolina as one of the original foun? ders of the Register and for several years the editor and proprietor of the Working Clirislian, now the Baptist Courier. The people of Columbia are not noted for their liberality towards or appreciation of good newspapers, but we trust the Youman will receive meritorious patronage at their bands. The South Carolina and the Greenville & Columbia Railroads will sell excursion tickets to Charleston and return, beginning on the 1st and ending on the 3d of Septem? ber, and good to return until the 6th, 9th and 10th of September, thus allowing seven days for the trip, which will give five days in Charleston. The fare will be about $?>. or not more than $5.50, from Anderson to Charleston and return. This very low rate is offered as an inducement to our mer? chants from the up-country to go to Charles? ton to purchase their goods, and we hope it will have the effect of inducing very many to turn their direction from New York to Charleston. At any rate, the railroads have done their part, and will no doubt have a very liberal patronage as their reward. The notice is, however, too short to be available to as many as would otherwise have gone. Next Wednesday is the last day tickets will be sold. The announcement of the death of Mrs. Sarah Simpson, wife of Mr. John M. Simp? son, which occurred at the residence of her husband in Toccoa, Georgia, on last Sunday night at 8 o'clock, will carry sadness to the hearts of many relatives and friends of the deceased in this County. She had been ill for four or five weeks with typhoid dysin tery, and was in the 63d year of her age. Mr. Simpson and family were formerly res? idents of this County, having lived in the Dark Corner section from childhood, up to a few years ago, when they removed to Toccoa. Mrs. Simpson was a most estima? ble lady, and was greatly beloved by many relatives and acquaintances in our midst, to whom she had endeared herself by her gen? tle, Christian life. Her remains were brought to this place on Tuesday, and con? veyed thence to Robert's Church, where, after a funeral discourse by Dr. Frierson, they were consigned to their last resting place in the graveyard near the Church. Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for Sep? tember is, as usual, filled with delightful reading matter and exceedingly beautiful embellishments, and will be heartily wel? comed wherever it goes. The opening arti? cle, "Napoleon IV," is an elaborate and very interesting history of the Prince Im? perial, with his portrait and over a dozen illustrations. "Presented at Court" is un article descriptive of tbe English Court and the Ceremony of Presentation. It is pro? fusely illustrated, as is also "The Story of tbe Resolute," the old Arctic exploring ship, which formed purt of Sir Edward Belcher's expedition in search of Sir John Franklin. "The Alpine Climbing, its Pains and Per? ils," "In tbe Nez Perce Land," by Lieuten? ant-Colonel Costcllo, und "A Glimpse at the inner Life of Mexico," by Nugent Rob? inson, are admirable illustrated papers and will well repay the reader. Tbe depart? ment of fiction is unusually rich; the in? teresting serial, "The Golden Dawn," is concluded, and tbero are several itories by popular authors possessing peculiar merit. Among the most noteworthy are "La Con fessa La Varina," "The M3'stery," etc., etc. Tbero are a variety of well written sketches. Poems by Eliza Cook, Etta W. Pierce, J. Warren Newconib, Jr., and others, and an old style ballad, "The Children in the Wood," very quaint and very pleasant read? ing. There is also an abundant miscellany, embracing all sorts of subjects both instruc? tive and entertaining. The 128 quarto pages are, in a literary and artistic point of view, super-excellent. The price of a single copy is onlv 25 cents, and the annual sub? scription &J; six months, $1.50; four months, $1. Address, Frank Leslie's Pub? lishing House, 53, 55 and 57 Park Place, New York.

The townships which vote in favor of subscription to the Savannah Valley Rail? road will not have to pay the first install? ment out of this years' tax, as has been re? ported. No tax for this purpose can be col? lected until tax-paying time in 1880, and the friends of the Road do not intend to collect the first portion of the subscription until the crop of next year is gathered. This will give every one an abundance of time to arrange for the payment of the tax, and all who wish to improve our town and the lower portion of Anderson County should go to the polls on next Wednesday and vote in favor of the proposed subscrip? tion. Remarkable Cotton Crops. The newspapers are calling attention to the wonderful success of Mr. J. J. Crump, whose farm is near Aberdeen, Miss. lie has adopted a new process in cotton plant? ing, ana the remarkable results which have followed his experiments arc attracting the notice of planters. In 1877 Mr. Crump pro? duced 1,310 pounds of ginned cotton to the acre, 1,000 pounds in 1878; and the pros Eects this season point to the heaviest yield e has ever obtained. The Aberdeen (Miss.) Examiner gives the process. Mr. Crump prepares his land in December by digging holes thrco feet from each other, eighteen inches square and eighteen inches deep; these holes he fills with manure to within four inches of the top, and the re? mainder of the way with the top soil. At the usual season he plants with a view to having three stalks to a hill, and piles the clay from the bottoms of the pits as deep over their tops as the supply will admit of, with a view to keeping down the grass, and then cultivates with hand and hoe, never allowing a plough to be used. The prepa? ration is made in December in order to sub? due the fiery qualities of the fertilizer, and the holes when prepared will make at least three crops without changing their contents ?the second crop generally being the best, and the first and third about the same. This plan has gone beyond the sphere of experiment, and there is no longer necessi? ty for a man to scrape over a dozen acres when he can obtain more cotton and better cotton by cultivating two or three by Mr. Crump's process. Proceedings of the Town Council. Council Chamber, Aug. 22,1879. The Town Council met this evening at 3 o'clock. Present?G. P. Tolly, Intendant; E. F. Murrah, J. F. Wilson and W. S. Ligon, Wardens. The Intendant opened and read the report of the managers of the recent municipal election, the particulars of which have been heretofore published. Mr. G. F. Tolly was thereupon declared elected Intendant and Messrs. W. S. Ligon, J. F. Wilson, E. P. Murrah and John C. Whitefield Wardens. The oath of office was then administered to the Intendant elect by W. W. Humph? reys, Esq., Judge of Probate, and to the Wardens elect Wilson, Ligon and Murrah by the Intendant. The Council being then duly organized went immediately into the election of offi? cers, with the following result: Cifcri and Treasurer?T. C Ligon. Chief Marshal?Joseph R. Fant. Assistant Marshal?F. G. Massey. The salary of the Chief Marshal was fixed at $500 for the year and that of the Assistant Marshal at $360. A petition asking the Council to reduce' the license for selling spirituous liquors in quantities less than one quart from $300 to $200 was received from Messrs. W. Ira Drennan, John O'Donnell, Julius Poppe, M. D. Kennedy and John McGrath, and laid on the table. On motion, the license to sell spirituous liquors in quantities less than one quart was then fixed at $300 for the next ensuing year, payable in three instalments. Petitions from the above named parties were also presented, asking that they be granted licenses to sell spirituous liquors in quantities less than one quart. The peti? tions were all in due form, and, on motion, were granted on condition that the license, or the first instalment of the same, be first paid and that the laws of the State and ordinances of the town of Anderson be strictly complied with. On motion, beer license was fixed at $100, payable in threo instalments. A petition from Mr. C. H. Fromm, asking license to sell beer, was received, and granted on condition that he pay the above license, or the first instalment of the same, and comply strictly with the laws of the State and ordinances of the town of Anderson. On motion, the pay of the street hands was reduced from 75 to 50 cents per day, to be paid only for the days they actually work. They are also required to attend to the town mules and street lamps at all times?rainy days, holidays and Sundays? without extra pay. Messrs. Watson & Son offered to furnish the Council with lumber at $1 per hundred feet, which was accepted. The following committee was appointed to examine the books of the Clerk and Treasurer, viz: W. S. Ligon and E. F. Murrah. The report of tho receipts and disburse? ments of public moneys by the Council for the year past was read and approved. Council Chamber, Aug. 23. The Council met this morning at 10 o'clock. Present?G. F. Tolly , Intendant; W. S. Ligon, E. F. Murrah and J. F. Wil? son, Wardens. On motion, the Assistant Marshal was in? structed to feed and attend to the stock, and is to receive compensation for such services at the rate of $65 per year. On motion, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That no reduction will be made for loss of time by parties taking out licenses to sell spirituous liquors in quantities less than one quart, but the full amount will be charged for every license. A Suggestion. Mr. Editor : There being no licenses taken out for this year to retail liquors in the town of Anderson, we would make the suggestion to the Town Council that they take the mat? ter under their own supervision, and open a bar-room, the revenue of which to go into the town treasury. In this way the entire expense of the town could be defrayed with? out any levy of taxes on the personal and real estate for town purposes, and the sale of spirituous liquors could be better regula? ted than under any previous arrangement. We throw out this suggestion to our Council for what it is worth. Citizen. m - Sandy Springs. Our best farmers say that there will be a better crop of cotton raised in this vicinity this year than has been in many years. It is better fruited and the acreage is greater. .The corn crop generally will bo very light I think, owing to the scarcity in acre? age planted and tl?* general drought. Bot? tom corn is very fine where it has been well cultivated, but upland corn is not so good, and we fear the recent rains have come too late to revive it. We have noticed the bot? tom land corn of Mr. J. M. Watson, which is extra fine, and the best about Bird's Cross? ing.Messrs. A. B. Bowdcn and Milton Reese are very successful with their rico farms on the Twenty-Six Mile Creek. They Hood their rice by the wheel process, which is very satisfactory.Messrs. James G. Doutb.it it Son are "preparing to build a dam across Millwce Creek to run a grist mill ami cotton gin, which they expect to have ready for this Fall's business. We wish them success.As late in the season as it is, some of our neighbors have been setting out potato slips, cabbage plants and sowing turnrp seed.Our school is large and flourishing. The exercises will close in one month.Capt. J. S. Oliver has as? sumed the contract of Capt. I'otts, (de? ceased,) and will furnish the Railroad with 10,000 cross-tics per month. He is a gentle? man of honor and integrity, and we wel? come him among us as a citizen, und hope he will receive the confidence he deserrcs. M. Cavalry and Railroad Meeting. According to previous announcement, a meeting was held at Cross Roads Church on the 23d inst. After a grand and brilliant display of the Cavalry, the crowd repaired to the house to attend the Railroad meet? ing. On motion of Col. Walters, Mr. Geo. Stevenson was elected Chairman and L. S. Clinkscales Secretary. Col. James M. Latinicr being present was called on as the first speaker, and respond? ed in clear and distinct terms, showing how easy it would be to build the Savannah Valley Railroad, and that if the people of this section do not take hold of it, the Ruad will be built from Lowndcsvillc across to Belum. He was followed by Gen. Humphreys, Maj. E. B. Murray, Dr. Brown and Col. W. E. Walters, who made able speeches in favor of the said Road, and showed the ne? cessity of building it, with the probable cost by figures that, will be required to put the Road in running order. On motion the meeting adjourned for dinner, with full confidence Unit the Road would be built. Gborge Stevenson, Chairman. L. S. Clinkscales, Secretary. Anderson Market Reports.
