THE INTELLIGENCER. T.OCAL MATTERS. BRIEF MENTION". In consequence of the continued rains, the management of the County Fair have decided to continue the Fair over until Sat? urday, so that those Wo cannot come be? fore can visit the exhibition on that day. There will be a mule race, a foot race and a bag race on Saturday. ? Col. James A. Hoyt, of Greenvillo, is at? tending our County Fair. The McSmith Music House is well repre? sented at the Fair this week. The new well in the public square when completed will have cost the town about $125. Dr. W. H. Nardin and Mr. C. F. Jones have been added to the board of stewards of (he Methodist Church. You can always learn where to buy goods to the best advantage by consulting the ad? vertising columns of the I.mei lioencer. Monday last was one of the busiest days of the season. A large crowd was in town, and everybody seemed disposed to trade. Patridgcs, rabbits, squirrels, 'possumsand other game is plentiful this year, and sports? men have already commenced their winter fun.. , Key. Wm. Henry Strickland will preach I at Mountain Creek Church next Sunday at 3 o'clock p. m., and take a collection for missions. Dr. P. A. Wflhite went to Charleston on Monday to attend a meeting of the State Board of Health, of which body he is a member. ; Hon. J. P. Reed and wife, together with several others of our citizens, are in attend? ance upon the Atlanta Fair, which comes off this week. Mrs. Mary Jane Black, wife of Mr. H.B. Black, of Hopewell township, died on the 4th instant, after a brief Illness, in the 29th year of her age. There will be no meeting of the Temper? ance Division to-night, in consequence of the Fair and the 5th Avenue Opera Com? pany's entertainment. Cotton weighing has become such a big thing at the depot that a separate room is being built at one corner of the platform for the cotton scales. Appointments of the Y. M. C. A. for next Sunday: Poor House Committee, John H. Clark, John M. Hubbard: Jail Committee, G. F. Tolly, P. K. McColly. The weather since Sunday evening has been very damp, cloudy and cool, and over? coats, shawls and winter clothes generally have been brought into use. The merchants of Anderson pay as mach (if not considerably more) for cotton as of any other town, city or village within two hundred miles of them. The delegates from the Corner township to the railroad meeting at Lowndesville are Messrs. J. T. Barnes, A. 6. Cook. John L. Bryan, Joshua Burriss and D. L. Hall. See changes in the advertisements of the New York Cash 8tore, A. B. Towers & ?Co., Simpson, Beid & Co., and the new ad? vertisements of J. D. Maxwell and Andrew & Preyost. All kinds of goods can be purchased in Anderson as cheaply as in any place in South Carolina. Our merchants do busi? ness on business principles, and are deter? mined not to bo done. Call on C. A. Reed, Ag't, and examine his Hats and Clothing, which he is offering at such low prices; and don't fall to see his elegant sewing machines before yon pur? chase one. f Little Sallie Turner, who is only six years" old, has developed considerable power as a cotton-picker, averaging seventy pounds per day. This is a very large amount of work for one so young. Messrs. R. A. Reid and J. Walter Sherard went to Charleston on Thursday last to at? tend the Medical College. This session will complete their course, and they will return to us next spring full-fledged Doctors. The heavy rains of last week did consid? erable damage in various sections of the County. The rivers, creeks and branches were very much swollen, and many bridges, with a few mill dams, were washed away. All persons intending to send articles to the State Fair should forward their entries to Mr. Thomas W. Holioway, at Pomaria, 8. C, by the 1st November, as after that day the books will be closed and entries will not be received. Mr. Baylis Sloan drew the "chewing gum prize" awarded at Andrew & Prevost's con? fectionery lost week. It consisted of half dozen silver plated knives, forks and spoons, and the successful number out of the 110 chances was 76. Mr. A. S. Sadler, of Easley, formerly of this County, has the sympathies of many relatives and friends in our midst in the death of his daughter, Lizzie, which oc? curred at his home one day lost week in the 13th year of her age. The old engine, "Blue Ridge." which has been stored away in one of the old buildings at the Blue Ridge yard for the cast fifteen years, and which is in a very dilapidated condition, has been rolled out and will be token to Helena for repairs. The Misses "Willis, two charming young * ladies from Charleston, after spending the summer in our midst, returned to their home yesterday morning, carrying with them pleasant recollections and good wishes of a host of admiring friends. Mr. A. Lesser comes to the front this week with a double column advertisement, in which he makes some interesting state? ments. He is pushing his business with commendable zeal and energy, and we hope will receive merited patronage. The cotton market has been looking up a little during the past week. The number of bales sold at this place for the week end? ing Tuesday night amounts to 766, which, added to the amount heretofore reported, mal:es 3,113 for the whole season. Col. J. B. E. Sloan, of the firm of Sloan & Seignous, cotton factors and commission merchants of the city of Charleston, who bad been spending the summer at his resi? dence in Pendleton, returned with his fam? ily to Charleston on last Tuesday. We are requested by the Town authori? ties to call attention to the owners of stock, hogs, &a, that it is unlawful for them to run at large upon our streets, and that the law will be enforced. AU persons had, therefore, better see to it that their property of this description is kept properly enclosed. There will be a meeting of the Senator and Representatives of Anderson County at the Intelligencer office on saleday in No? vember, at half-past ten o'clock. Any mat? ter effecting the County, to which it is de? sired to call the attention of the members, can be handed to any of them or presented at that time. At a meeting of the citizens of Anderson on last Saturday the following gentlemen were elected to represent the town of An? derson's subscription to the Savannah Val? ley Railroad in the meeting to be held at Lowndesville on the 12th of November next, viz: Messrs. W. W. Humphreys, E. M. Rucker, B. F. Whitner, A. T. Broyles and John E. Breazeale. The four Moores who are charged with the murder of Alex. Bryce, jr., near Wal? halla in August, and whose trial was post? poned until the next term of the Walhalla Court, were brought to this place on Satur? day for safe keeping, as the jail at Walhalla id considered unsafe, Thoy are the only prisoners in our jail, which speaks well for Anderson County. Mais Street, Greenville. S. C?The Greenville Agricultural and Mechanical Association, at their annual Fair last week, awarded the premium on Saddlery, Harness and Leather to Vardry McBee, as Colum? bia, Abbeville, Anderson and Greenville have done in the past. His motto?"Short profit" aiul good goods." When in Greenville call on him. t We have recently added a nice lot of new type, borders, Ac., to our Job office, and are now prepared to put up as neat work as can be had anywhere, and at as cheap rates. We keep only the best papers in stock, and if you want bill heads, letter heads, envel? opes, give us a trial, and keep the money at home. Lawyers' briefs printed iH good style as cheap as they can be had in Colum? bia or Charleston. We regret to announce the death of Miss Sallie Simpson, which occurred at the resi? dence of her father, Mr. John M. Simpson, at Toccoa, Go., on Wednesday, 15tb inst., after an iiiner? of several weeks. Her re? mains were brought to this place on Friday morning last, and conveyed to Robert's Church, where they were consigned to their final resting place. Mr. Simpson was form? erly a citizen of this County, and has many friends and relatives in our midst who deep? ly sympathize with him in this bereave? ment. The greatest cotton-picking of which we have heard this season was on the planta? tion of Mr. J. P, McGee, of Hall township, in this County. On last Thursday Mr. M. Vance McGee picked in one day five hun? dred and twenty-five pounds of cotton, which makes him the champion cotton picker of the County, and indeed, so far as we have noticed, of the whole State. On the same day a colored man named Howard Kay picked 425 pounds, which was also an extra day's work in cotton-picking. The Fifth Avenuo Opora Company, of New York, have agreed, in response to a re? quest from Hon. B. F. Crayton, to render several of their choice rrfusical selections at the Fair Grounds this morning about 11 o'clock. This Company has elicited the most enthusiastic praises from the press wherever they have performed, and con? senting to contribute to the success of our County Fair shows that they are generous aud public spirited. All within reach of the Fair Grounds should attend to-day, for the selections which this quartette are to sing will be more than worth the gate money. Mrs. Sallie Sloan, wife of Dr. R. G. Sloan, and eldest daughter of Rev. F. G. Carpenter, died at the residence of her husband in Williamston on last Tuesday, after a long and painfnl illness from consumption.? Mrs, Sloan was a very excellent lady, and was much beloved by those with whom she came iu contact. As a member of society she was pleasant aud sociable, as a Chris? tian she was pure and simple, and as a wife she was devoted and loving. The news of her death reaches us just as the paper is about going to press, and we are sure its announcement will be read with regret by her very many relatives and friends in this County, whose sorrow and sympathy will be mingled with the grief of tb? immediate family in their great loss and sore bereave? ment. The Fifth Avenue New York Opera Com? pany arrived in Anderson on the 22nd inst., and are advertised to render, on Wednes? day the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd inst., in. Temperance Hall, the new and very Eopular Opera, "H. M. 8. Pinafore," which as been all of the rage with theatre goers in Europe and America for the last twelve months. It is one of the most successful comic operas that has ever been produced, and is such a performance as to entertain all without giving offense to any. The Company which is now ? playing it in An? derson is pronounced by competent critics to be one of the best companies that has ever visited this section of the State, and all who wish to be revived by a hearty laugh should not miss the opportunity of attending these plays. Tick ;ts for sale at the Post Office. In consequence of the unfavorable weath? er, no meeting of the citizens of Varennes township was held on last Saturday to elect delegates to represent the subscription of that township to the Savannah Valley Rail? road, and we are requested to announce that a meeting for that purpose will be held at Flat Rock on Saturday, the first day of No? vember, at 3 o'clock-p. m. Five delegates are to be elected, and as it is a matter of very great importance we hope every citizen of the township will be present, even if he has to make a sacrifice to do so. The money has been voted, the township will be taxed, and its citizens should turn out and select good men to represent them in the organi? zation of the Company, and to assist in be? ginning this enterprise in the speediest and at the same time the most judicious and economical manner possible. Mrs. James T. McCorkle, nee Miss Mamie A. Smith, eldest daughter of Mr. W. G. Smith, of Sandy Springs, died at the resi? dence of her husband in Central on last Friday evening after a short illness. Mrs. McCorkle possessed manv noble qualities for which she was beloved and admired by her many friends and acquaintances, who join with her family in mourning her early death. She had been married but a short time, and life's morning seemed bright and joyous to her and hers. The end, however, was nearer than any human eye could see, and in a very few days the bloom of health faded into the pallor of death. The change, though sudden, did not find her unprepared for death, and her friends rejoice in the as? surance that the change for her is a glorious one. Mr. Joseph Lee, eldest son of Mai, T. B. Lee, of this County, came near drowning on last Saturday morning, in trying to cross Hurricane Creek, on the Pendleton road, six miles from this place. Mr. Lee drove into the stream without 'anticipating any danger. The little stream, which is not six inches deep nor more than three feet wide in ordinary times, was swollen to a perfect torrent by the preceding heavy rain, and washed his horse and buggy down and him with it. Mr. Lee lost consciousness in the struggle and went under. When his con? sciousness returned he found himself upon a drift some distance below the ford, where the force of the stream carried him, and to which fortunate circumstance he owes his life. The buggy was also lodged in a turn of the creek below, and the horse had man? aged to extricate himself from the buggy and was safe also. We are glad to learn that Mr. Lee has entirely recovered from the effects of the accident, and that the dam? age was therefore comparatively small. This case is one of the most fortunate mis? fortunes that can be fouud anywhere. The State Fair promises to be a grand success this year, and we hope Anderson County will again be largely represented in its various departments. It is important to every interest of our people that the State Fair be well sustained, as it is an institution from which great good will emanate. The fare on the various railroads in the State has been greatly reduced, so that everybody who desires to go can do so at a compara? tively trifling cost. The fare on the Green? ville & Columbia Railroad will be two cents a mile, which will make the cost of trans? portation from Anderson only $5.04, while all articles intended for exhibition will be charged for at regular rates on being shipped to Columbia, but upon being returned to the points from which they were originally sent the amounts charged will be remitted, which is equivalent to free transportation. We sincerely trust the people of this County will sustain their past record for enterprise, thrift and public spirit by an extensive ex? hibition of the products of their various industries. The County Fair. The Anderson County Farmers' and Me? chanics' Fair Association opened on yester? day, and despite the very unfavorable weather, about seven hundred entries were made in the various departments, and all that is needing to make it a grand success is clear weather. The exhibition will be a very creditable one, and all who can do so should attend to help make it a success. The several races announced will take place to-day and to-morrow. TowDvllle. Last night burglars broke into Mr. W. C. McCarley s store, and carried oir a few arti? cles of trifling value. They also tore off tho bottom of a patent money-drawer in qHest of the "one thing needful," but find? ing no money therein, they apparently gave up the search, for in an upper till was some $25.00 within easy reach, and which was left untouched.The same night an at? tempt was made to force an entrance into Messrs. Fanner <fe Bro.'s store, but for some unknown reason the rogues desisted. A heavy rain was falling the entire night, and it is evident they availed themselves of that circumstance in order more successfully to accomplish their designs.Tho merchants of the place have offered a reward of fifty dollars for the apprehension of the theives.

Mr. Editoh: Thinking that pcrhai? some of your readers would like to know what we are doing in our little "burg," I will let; them hear from us through your paper. The people herc:are*?howing;unusual in? terest in a projected railroad from here to Westminister or Seneca City, though the former place seems to be preferred on ac? count of the little grading that will have to be done. This section of Oconoe and the Fork of Anderson County need an outlet badly. The whole community seems to he greatly interested in the matter, and they should he, too, for we have a fine farming country, besides the best water power in the State, not only on this side but on tho Georgia side of Tugaloo River also. For the people to remain idle and not build a railroad from here to some point will be like cutting their own throats. I think, though, that they are fullv aroused to the importance of such a step, for they seem de? termined to build the road, cost what it may. They see, too, how a railroad to this point will enhance the value of their lands, and enable them also to buy goods and pro? visions cheap at homo. It is vory incon? venient to haul cotton ten or twelve mile3. The road will be built, and that, too, at no distant day. It is proposed to raise the money for the road by subscription. The shares are put at twenty dollars each, so that they will be in reach of every one. It is estimated that it will take twenty thou? sand dollars to grade the road and put down cross ties, tbongh there are persons who have offered to take the contract for much less. Between one hundred and seventy five and two hundred shares hare been already taken up, and there are daily appli? cations for shares. All persons that have subscribed so far say that, if necessary, they will double the number of shares already taken by them. Mr. D. H. Glenn has taken fifty shares alone, and says that be? fore the road shall fall through he will take one hundred more. Thero are several others who propose to give largely to the road. This much has been done by Fair Play and the surrounding country, and it is thought that Westminister, if the road is run to that point, will subscribe liberally. South Union and Oakway will do their duty beyond a doubt, besides we will re? ceive aid from the Georgia side of Tugaloo. When enough money has been subscribed to grade the road and put down the ties, it has been proposed to turn it over to some corporation to put down the iron and fur? nish the rolling stock. Col. R. E. Mason will be sent to Atlanta this week to confer with the authorities of the Air Line Rail? road for that purpose. A meeting will soon be called to put the whole matter in a more business-like shape, and to determine whether the road will be run to Westmin? ister or Seneca City. A. charter will be ap? plied for at the earliest day possible. It is not proposed to make this the terminus of the road, but to extend it to Andersonville, at the junction of the Seneca and Tugaloo Rivers, in your County. The people of the whole Fork seem to be interested in this road, and it is expected that they will sub? scribe liberally. Mr. G. W. Mar et seems to be exerting himself very much in this en? terprise, and no doubt he will do good work in its behalf. We have the proper soil and a healthy climate, and only need a railroad and emigrants to make this the best form? ing section of South Carolina. I understand that our sister town, Town ville, is trying to get up a railroad. I wish her all the success possible, but this section will hardly support two roods, and I fear that she is too far distanced to do any thing in the matter. It is estimated that the cotton crop will not make more than a half yield as com? pared with last year, though there are great many August and early September boRs that will mature, if frost does not put in too early an appearance, and thus swell the yield a little. The corn crop on bottom lands is very good, and will make a yield fully up to last year's, but the upland corn is very poor, and will bring the average down pretty low. There seemB to be a tendency to sow large small grain crops. By this means the for? mers will be able to get through another year more easily, as tho small grain will take the place of corn. Mr. W. J. Hix has a very fine pea crop. He has ten acres of the finest ever grown in this section, that is, it; is so reported by old farmers. Col. W. W. Holland is doing good work at his gin, and is consequently kept busy. Mr. G. M. R. Bollman has had a fine school in the Fork. Reports give him the name of being a fine instructor, and I wish him success in his profession. The "fence question" is being ngitated here. There is a good deal of talk about it, but very little action so far. There, was a meeting at Seneca City to discuss the subject on Saturday, October 11th, but I have heard nothing from it. While the law will not suit the mountain portion of Oconeo, I be? lieve that it would be a good thing for this section of the county. I guess that steps will soon be taken to test the matter in the townships below the Air Lino Railroad. I do not see why the people hesitate, when they seo it working so well in other coun? ties. C. Special Premiums. A premium of $5 in gold has been award; ed by Sloan Bros., of Greenville, to R. D. Alexander, of Greer's Station, for the best Turnip Crop from their seeds.

Tho Milledgville Union and Recorder of yesterday publishes a brief account of a deplorable, statoof affairs in tho county of Baldwin?in th&t section lying east of the Oconeo River. It appears that this particular section has for some timo been tho abode of a gang of men for whom all law-abididg citizens entertain tho gravest fears, and justly, for tho klan do not hes? itate to kill whon it suits their purposo to kill, and burn when it comes in their way to burn. Many dark and bloody deeds have been committed by this band, whoso retreats are said to be sccuro in tho fastness of dense swamps which fringe tho Oconee and its tributaries. Tho latest outrages by those despera? does, whilo they do not surpass others of thosamo character, are thrilling in tho extromo. From our contomeporary we gather that Cicero Gordon, a nogro, is their last victim; and it appears that ho was put out of the way to suit a purpose, and that purposo was to get rid of his evidence against them, he having boon summoned before a court of justice as a witness. Suffice it that Gordon was re? turning to his homo from Milledgeville, when he was waylaid in a dark ravine, his body riddled with bullet?, and his corpse left on the road where it fell. Pro? ceeding then to the plantation of a well to-do citizen. Dr. J. A. P. Robson? whereon Gordon was a tenant, the out? laws deliberately firod his promises, de? stroying his pin-house with all its con? tents, hiH cotton houses with his un ginned cotton, his thresher, screw and other property, keeping the doctor and his laborers at bay with arms and firing at them repeatedly, whilo tho llamcs were licking up the results of his industry and hard labor for years. Wo do not oxaggorato when we stato that all tho good citizens in that soctiou of tho county aro terrorized with silence, and whilo it is supposed they know tho names of tho brigands, they aro fearful of violence to thoir own homes, families and persons should they give aid or in? formation to officers who have for somo timo been attempting their arrest. We learn additional that this section of tho country is rapidly depopulating; col? ored laborers are fleeing across tho river to the city side, leaving tho crop to rot in tho fields", while tho whites aro hold in a stato of continuous alarm, fearing to leave thoir property and unable to sell at any price, albeit their smiling valleys and picturesquo hills aro as productivo as any in tho Stato. Wo trust tho Gov? ernor will uso all duo diligence, and moro actively in tho direction of appre? hending theso daring violators of tho poaco of tho State. Tho local papers at Sparta and Sandorsvillo, as well as at Milledgovillo, havo sounded tho alarm, and if necessary it will behoovo his Ex celloncy to raise an ami}' that tho good may bo protectod and theso bloody out? rages puuished.?Atlanta Constitution, 10:ft 1713?. ?
