THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. lirciM nearly 1900. Anderson's Program*. The business outlook for the town of Anderson for the approaching season is very cheering indeed. Three new store rooms have been built and elegantly fitted up, and four new firms have been added to the business houses of oar town. The .stores all around the square are filled with the largest and most attractive stocks of goods we have seen in this market since the war, and the prices are ranging remark? ably low on all classes of goods. The most active competition exists, and everywhere the desire is manifest on the part of our merchants to sell goods cheaper than any one else can afford to do. It is beyond a question safe to assert that goods of all characters can now be purchased as cheap for cash in Anderson as the same quality of goods can be procured in any other up country market; and we believe that they are even as cheap as they can be bought by retail in the city of Charleston itself. The cotton market here is also as good this fall as can be found anywhere around us. So far this season the result in this re? spect has been exceedingly gratifying, for there has been a great deal more cotton brought here than came during the same season last year, and the trade is scattered over fully as large an area, if not larger, ?than it has been for several years past. The merchants of this place are up with the progress of the times, and Anderson is -destined to increase her trade, and thereby grow in business prosperity and promi? nence. It will pay every planter in this County, and in the neighboring counties, to come here with bis trade during this sea? son, for our merchants are offering the very best grade of all kinds of goods at the very ilowest prices for cash or trade, and are pay? ing the highest prices for cotton and all kinds of produce. Not only this, but the mumber of cotton buyers affords the closest ?competition on cotton, and insures the Ihighest price for it, while the large number ?of stores give the greatest variety of articles from which to select in making purchases, ?and also guarantee the most favorable prices to the consumers. This is emphatically a growing market, and all who make it their trading point will Und their own interests will be promoted by the selection. All that Anderson asks is a lair trial at the hands of the public, and she will clearly establish her superiority -both as a selling and purchasing market. The Circuit Court. ? The September term of the Circuit Court began on last Monday, his Honor Judge C. P. Pressley presiding, and Thomas P. Cothran, Esq., acting as Solicitor in the place of his lather, who was detained by sickness. The juries were organized, and bis Honor charged the grand jury in sub? stance as follows: I am informed that there is very little criminal business to come before you at this term, and I congratulate you on the near approach of the end of your term of one year's service. I am glad to see this dimi? nution of crime in this State, and especial? ly to see the extent of this diminution in the up-country. The amount of crime in this State is now six times less than it was when the present Judges went upon the bench. I attribute this diminution of crime to good grand juries, good petit juries, and a Governor who does not pardon criminals as soon as convicted. When crime is cer? tainly punished, and certainly stays pun? ished, those who are outside of criminal conduct are very apt to stay out of crime. I am very glad to see that this certainty of punishment is relieving the country of the flood of crime which nas been on us. I will not charge you to examine the public offices again, aa I am informed that you bave already done so, unless you have some information which leads you to think there is some special reason to do so. It is the duty of Trial Justices to submit their dock? ets and books to you for inspection, that you may see if they are conducting their offices properly, and not flooding the coun? try with litigation, and if they promptly turn over the fines collected by them to the County. It is not necessary for you to ex? amine the roads, bridges and femes of your County unless you know of something needing the attention of the Court, fif there is, you have the right- to call on the County Commissioners for information, and report the some to the Court. His Honor then charged the jury as to the law of bur? glary, and three cases were submitted to them, in which true bills were found, and they were tried as follows: The State vs. William Dixon, for bur? glary. The State was represented by T. P. Cothran, Esq., and Messrs. Murray <fc Mur- I ray. The defense by H. G. Scudday, Esq. Verdict, guilty. Sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. The State vs. William Dixon, Mahala Dixon, William Robertson and Isaac Rob? ertson. The State was represented by T. P. Cothran, Esq., and Messrs. Murray & Mur? ray, and the defense by H. G. Scudday, Esq. Verdict, guilty as to all except Mahala Dix? on, who was acquitted. Sentence of each of those convicted to one year in the peni tcntiary. The State vs. Bob. Mattison, Stewart Sampson and Henry Pinson for burglary. The State was represented by T. P. Cothran, .Esq., and the defendants by H. G. Scudday, Esq., and Messrs. Moore & Allen for Henry Pinson. Verdict, not guilty as to Henry Pinson, and guilty as to the others. Sen? tence, one year each in the penitentiary. The criminal Court was concluded so far as the juries are concerned, on Monday evening. The juries in the civil cases will be dismissed this week, and the other cases will consume perhaps until the middle or last of next week. Judge Pressley has made a most favorable impression upon oar people by his modest ana gentlemanly bearing, and his great ability and accuracy on the Bench. He, indeed, represents the dignity of the South Carolina judiciary in its palmiest days, and the State is fortunate in the possession of the sendees of one so eminently qualified for his important duties. He is an orna? ment to our judiciary, and would adorn and give satisfaction to the people of the whole State in the highest position in our system. He is clear, courteous, accurate and impartial, without any attempt at dis? play, and evidently bent on doing right. For these qualities both the bar and the people admire him. Death of a Good Citizen. It i3 our sad duty to announce this week the death of Mr. Weston Havs, which oc? curred at his residence in Hall township on last Saturday, 13th instant, after an illness r>f eleven weeks with typhoid fever, in the bOth year of his age. Mr. Hays was a most valued citizen, was highly esteemed by all who knew him. and wielded a great influ? ence for good in the community in which he lived. He was for many years a teacher in both private and public schools in this County, and by his thorough training and strict discipline did much to promote the causes of education and morality. His rep? utation as a grammarian and mathatnatician was second to that of no one in the County. He entertained sound and practical views of the public school system, which were frequejitly ventilated by him through the columns of the Intelligencer. Though not a member of any Church he had many years previous to ''is death experienced conversion, and at tne time of his death en? tertained hopes of future happiness. His funeral was preached at his residence by Rev. W. H. King on 8nnday to a very large congregation of sorrowing friends and rela? tives. He leaves a wife and four children t<> mourn his death, all of whom have been down with typhoid fever. Railroad Meeting*. We arc requested to announce that meet jugs will be held in Brushy Creek township in the interest of the Beiton. Williamston and Easly Railroad Company as follows: At Pisgah Church on Thursday, 25th inst.; on Friday, 2Cth inst., at Wiginton's Store, and on Saturday, 27th inst., at Long's Store. The following speakers are invited to ad? dress these meetings: J. M. Latimrr, Presi? dent of the Savannah Vallev Railroad, E. I). Murrav. E. M. Rucker, Dr. W. C. Brown, Dr. H. I. Epting, D. H. Ru.?scll, W. A. Neal, M. B. Williams, W. S. Pickgns anil T. H. Russell. The ladies are csBcinlly invited to be present, and all of tne citizens are urged to turn out and hear the proposition to build this Road discussed. The Abbeville Railroad Cane. Judge Presslcy has decided the appeal from the decision of tho Countv Commis? sioners of Abbeville County on the election for subscription or no subscription to the Savannah Valley Railroad, in Magnolia township in Abbeville County, against the right of the appellants to docket their ap? peal. This is a decision in favor of the cor? porators on the legal grounds involved without entering into the facts of the elec? tion. The case was argued at the Abbeville Court by Orville T. Calhoun, Esq., for the appellants and E. ?. Murray, Esq., for the Savannah Valley Railroad "corporators. It is now thought this will end the litigation over the elections, and that all parties will work together harmoniously for the com? pletion of the enterprise. A Mad Dog on tho Rampage. A rabid dog created quite a commotion in the Fork on last Thursday. It belonged to Mr. D. S. "White, of the Shallow Ford neighborhood, and after going mad early Thursday morning passed rapidly through the Fork towards Fair Play, biting on the way at least twenty other dogs besides some cattle and hogs. From Fair Play it went to Knox's Bridge on the Tugalo River, crossed over into the Shoal Creek Factory settlement in Georgia, where it bit at least a dozen other dogs, and afterwards crossed back to the Carolina side, and was killed late in the afternoon of the same day, while having fits, by Mr. Davis Maret near Fair Play. Should all the dogs, cattle and hogs bitten go mad, the people of the Fork will doubtless have a hvely time for a while, and the canine tribe will likely be consid? erably thinned out A Compliment to an Anderson Minister. A correspondent of the Rdigitiu Herald, published at Richmond, Va,, writing from the White Sulphur Springs, Grecnbrier, W. Va,, pays the following compliment to Rev. W. H. Strickland, pastor of the Anderson Baptist Church: "It was my good fortune to be one of a large assemblage which gath? ered in the spacious ball-room at this place, on last Sabbath, to listen to a discourse from Rev. W. H. Strickland, of South Carolina. I have, during the past thirteen years, whilst a summer resident at the White, listened to the word of God as it came from the lips of celebrities from almost every sect, and I as? sure you that I was never more pleased than on this occasion. An humble, unpretend? ing ambassador of Christ, stepping forth modestly from the Baptist ranks, held the large and intelligent audience before him spell-bound, whils the delivered a sermon which elicited the universal praise of those whose privilege it was to be present. I have heard'his sermon commented upon by per? sons from all sections of our country, and from all denominations, and the tenor of all criticism was to praise. Our denomination may well be proud of such specimens of young representatives in its ministerial ranks." Anderson Blarket Reports. The prices current for the following arti? cles in this market are: Cotton?middling, 101 to 10J?quiet. Com?90. Peas?75. Flour?$5.50 to $7.50. Meat?C. R. sides 6, L. C. sides 6, shoul? ders 5.

The following gentlemen are authorized agents for the Intelligence!*, and persons indebted to us for subscription are requested to make payment to either of them or to ourselves: James W. Poore, Belton. M. T. Elgin, Honca Path. Dr. P. H. E. Sloan, Pendleton. H. P. Sitton, Pendleton Factory. John M. Glenn, Equality. A. W. Pickens, Piercetown. BRIEF MENTION. Work on the depot at Seneca City is pro? gressing finely. Colnmbia is waking up as a cotton mar? ket, and the Register is happy. Eighteen-Mile trestle on the Blue Ridge Railroad is undergoing repairs. A large number of the Abbeville farmers are bringing their cotton to Anderson. ThevGovernor has appointed Capt. T. C. Ligon a Notary Public for this County. The mountaineers, several of whom were here on Monday, say the apple crop is short, Mr. L. Reid Watson had a valuable mule to fall in an old well on Sunday and brake its neck. Messrs. Frost & Co., of Charleston, are building a guano house near the depot at thi3 place. Dr. J. P. Ducket, of Newberry Couuty. with his family, is visiting relatives ana friends in our midst. If yon want to know where to trade to the best advantage, consult the advertising columns of the Intelligence::. Cotton is coming in rapidly, and the ap? pearance of our streets remind us of the busy days of last winter. Mr. J. Willet Prevost has been appointed an aid-de-camp to the Governor with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. A lady who gets her mail at Piercetown told us the other day that she couldn't "keep house without the Intelligencer." Messrs. A. Burt, J. S. Cothran, S. Mc Gowan, S. P. Dendy and T. P. Cothran have been in attendance upon our Court. Don't forget the little bill due us for sub? scription when you sell your cotton. It is a small matter, but important, nevertheless. The amount of the subscription to the Savannah Valley Railroad Company in Centreville township is $5,100 and not $5,700 as stated last week. The many friends and customers of Mr. C. C. Cummings, one of the most accommo? dating and urbane salesmen of the town, can find him in the store of Fant & Bro. The Anderson County Singing Conven? tion will bold its eleventh annual session with Mt. Pisgah Church, near Slabtown, commencing on Friday before the fourth Sunday in this month. Gentlemen, our stock of clothing is com? plete. Look at our fine Overcoats, nobby Hats, fashionable Neckwear and large as? sortment of Furnishing Goods. Arnstein & Rose. Rev. W. H. Strickland returned home on yesterday from his trip North, and will supply his pulpit on next Sunday morning. We are pleased to state that he is mnch im? proved in health by his trip. Mrs. James Burriss died at the residence of her husband, in the Corner township, of black-tongue fever, on Tuesday night, and Was interred in the graveyard at Gcncrostec Church on Wednesday evening. Mr. D. S. White, of the Fork, brought us some very fine specimens of his turnip crop on Monday. The largest measured 13J inches in circumference and the smallest 11 inches. They were of the purple top va? riety. A mule hitched to a buggy ran away on Wednesday evening, lOtri instant, with Mrs. John Brown near the residence of her husband, about four miles west of this place, throwing her out and dislocating her right wrist. Mr. J. S. Murray, Jr., A. M., left Ander? son on Saturday last for West Springs, in Union County, where he assumes charge of the West Springs Institute, a flourishing school of near one hundred pupils mid sev? eral teachers. The usual excursion trains will be run to Sandy Springs on next Sunday to accom? modate those desiring to attend the annual camp meeting at that place. The fare from Anderson will bo 50 cents, and a large crowd will likely go. Mrs. Sallie Haynie, relic of the late John Haynie, who resided at the old Haynie Muster Ground, died at an advanced age on Tuesday morning last. Her remains were interred in the Presbyterian graveyard at this place on Wednesday morning. David Seabrooks, a colored Democrat re? siding on the plantation of Mr. George M. Grcer, in Honca .Path township, on last Thursday, 13th inst., between sun rise and aim set, picked 32G pounds, losing one hour and fifteen minutes at dinner. The amount of cotton received at the depot at this place up to Tuesday night, 10th inst.. aggregates 32!) bales against 110 for the same period bust year, making an increase in receipts in favor of this year of 383 bales. So wonder our merchants' an so highly elated at the prospects of n fine trade this fall. Rev. R. W. Burts recently closed a very interesting meeting at Shady Grove Baptist Church, in which twelve additions were made to the Church. Mr. Burts has been called to the pastorate of the Church, and the following deacons have been elected and will be ordained on the second Snndnv in October: J.S.Acker, M. B. Gaines, B. D. Dean and Joseph M. Cox. Jr. The mysterious disappearance of Mrs. Pulliam from her home in Elbert County, Ga., an account of which we published two weeks ago, has been satisfactorily accounted for on a theory which docs the widow very little credit. In other words, she has chosen to disappear, for a time at least, and has sought to convey tho impression that she was carried off by force in order to justify her absence. At a cotton picking on the plantation of Mr. John A. Stevenson, in Rock Mills town? ship on Monday last, Alexander Stevenson picked 368 pounds, Willis Stevenson 281, William McFarlan 279, Henrv Brown (col.) 238, and J. R. Yeargin 228. All hands com? menced at sun rise and stopped at sun set, and stopped half an hour at dinner. So far, Alexander Stevenson is the champion cotton picker of the County. S. P. Dendy, Esq., secured bail for Messrs. Cobb, Dunlap and Long, charged with the murder of A. Bryce, in the sum of $.'500 each, as there was no shadow of testimony against any of the parties. Tho affidavits submitted point stronglv to a family of Moores, who ran from Oconec County on account of indictments, and were at enmity with Bryce. Two of them have been ar? rested and will be tried at Walhalla in Oc? tober for the murder. The father has suc? ceeded in making his escape. Ladies, you are respectfully invited to in? spect our magnificent assortment of fashion? able Dress Goods, with all kinds ot suitable trimmings, elegant Cloaks and Dolmas, tine Zephyr and Shetland Shawls, an endless varietv of Notions. Domestics, Flannels, Rcpellants?everything bright and new and at very close prices. We desire to call your special attention to our fine shoes, made to order, warranted to give satisfac? tion and superior to any that nave been in the market. Arnstein & Rose. Mr. James M. Sullivan and Col. C. S. Mattison have formed a copartnership un? der the firm name of Sullivan <fc Mattison, and have opened a store at the Benson House place, w'here they arc now opening a large and carefully selected stock of gen? eral merchandise, and which they proposo selling at the very lowest living price. A novel and very attractive feature of their establishment is a "five cent counter," the latest departure in the mercantile business, which is ladened with a great variety of articles especially useful to housekeepers. The business of the firm will be under the immediate supervision of Mr. Sullivan, formerly a member of the firm of Messrs. Sullivan & Co.j who is full of enterprise and energy, which, combined with his rare business qualifications and natural urbani? ty, will no doubt make their place of busi? ness a popular resort with the public gen? erally. We commend the new firm to the confidence of the trading public, and be? speak for it a liberal ana generous patron? age. See advertisement elsewhere. PRESENTMENT OF GRAND JURY. SEPTEMBER TERM, 1870. Ib His Honor B. C. Pressley, Presiding Judge of the Eighth Judicial Circuit: The Grand Jury in concluding their term would respectfully present? That they fully corroborate the observa? tion and experience of his Honor as an? nounced in his charge of the diminution of crime in this State. It is their observation that each year witnesses a perceptible de. crease of the criminal calendars of our Courts. This is a subject of congratulation, and as the blessings of good government are continued to be felt and appreciated, we confidently predict even a greater and higher regard for law by all classes. ? ? ? ? ? ? * They would further present as a nuisance one Amanda Massey, of Honea Path town? ship, who is living in open and flagrant adultery to the scandal and reproach of the neighborhood. We recommend that ener? getic measures bo adopted for the suppres? sion of this crime. They would further present that they are informed that one Robert Hanks, a white man, shot and wounded Moses James, a colored man, recently, without sufficient provocation, and afterwards forced said Tames by intimidation and threats to -com? promise the case. This Jury cannot suffi? ciently express their reprobation of such an act, and they hope this Court and its officers will give Mr. Hanks an opportunity of vinj cheating his conduct before a jury of the County. The Jury would report the roads gen? erally in g?od condition, with one or two exceptions, and they are assured that these will be forthwith put in good condition. They would call the attention of the Court, however, to the road leading from Ever? green bridge, across Big Geucrostce Creek to Doolcy's Ferry on Savannah River, which they are informed has been discarded practically as a public road, and has not been worked in several years. They are in? formed that this is an important highway, and a great convenience to the people and travelling public. They recommend that the County Commissioners have the same worked and put in thorough condition at once. There is one other matter which several preceding Grand Juries have urged upon the County Commissioners, and which wo would again call to their attention, and urge them to give it due attention, and it is this: To enclose the Court House for a distance on each side of at least twenty-five feet with a neat and substantial iron fence. This en? closure, we are informed, would be deco? rated with shade trees andomarncnted with grasses, and furnished with seats, by the corporate authorities of the town, so soon as the enclosure was completed. This would be a great convenience to the people of the County, affording them a convenient resting place from the heat of the sun, and a place where they can enjoy their lunch after they have transacted their business. We regard this as a matter of considerable consequence, and the expense incurred in? considerable in comparison with the bene? fits derived. We would again call attention to tho law requiring the removal of timber, trash, trees, rafts, etc., from the running streams of the County during the montlis of March and September of each year. If this law was rigidly enforced it would open up to cultivation a large area of very valuable land, and would promote the sanitary con? dition of the County. We would recommend that sign-boards be placed at all important forks of the roads, and that all public roads, not now posted, have mile posts of stone, to indicate the dis? tance from one point to another. The Jury, at the risk of being tedious, would present the common practice of car? rying deadly concealed weapons. We would urge that our members of the Legis? lature secure the passage of such a law as will utterly prevent this practice?a practice so fruitful of murder and other crimes. In conclusion, wo would return our thanks to his Honor, the presiding Judgo, and the officers of the Court for courtesies extended us. Respectfully submitted, W. G. Watson, Foreman. September 15th, 1870.

Hitherto she has been called upon to sutler the ills of mankind and her own besides. The frcipicnt and distressing irregularities peculiar to her sex have long been to her the "direful spring of woes unnumbered." In the mansion of the rich, and in the hovel of poverty alike, woman has been the con? stant, yet patient victim of a thousand ills unknown to man?anil these without a remedy. "Oh Lord, how long!" in the agony of her soul hath she cried. But now the hour of her redemption is come. She will sutler no more, for Dr. .1. Bradficld's Female Regulator?Woman's Best Friend? may be relied on to cure all the disc-uses pe? culiar to women. Try It and he convinced. Savannah Valley Ttullroad Meeting.

Lucorn is one of the most valuable of all our forage plants, yielding on good land live tons per acre of the very finest bay. It withstands any amount of drought, its tap roots penetrating ten feet or more into the earth, and drawing up moisture that keeps it green when everything else is parched up. A stand once secured, it will last for years. As an improver of the soil it surpasses even clover. The seed can be had of Sloan Bros., Greenville, S. C. t The Champion Cotton Ticker. LOAVXDSBTILLBi S. C, Sept. 9, 1S79. Mr. Editor: Little John H. Cooper was bom February 28, 1856. When seven years old he gathered 114 pounds of cotton in one day ; when nine years old he gathered 1G0 pounds; when eleven years old hegathered 217 pounds, and yesterday, the 8th day of September, 1879, Johnny went to the cotton patch alone?was aloncallday, except when 1 would go for bis basket of cotton or carry him water. At noon he had gathered 160 pounds of cotton. He remained at the house one hour and five minutes, and re? turned to the cotton patch. At dusk he had 149 pounds, making in all 309 pounds of cotton. Johnny docs not leave half locks or what is called chips in the hulls, nor locks on the ground. I believe if he had been urged on he would have gathered 400 pounds. Johnny weighs only lifty-four pounds. A Si'Dscr.iuEn. National Subgical Institute.?One of the staff of this old and notable Institute Will visit Anderson, S.

Dear Sirs?The CO-Saw Pratt Gin bought from you in the fall of 1877 has been thor oughlv tested since that time, and has given entire satisfaction.

I have ginned as much as 330 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. ?.
