THE INTELLIGENCER, LOCAL MATTERS. BRIEF MENTION. The Free Ferry was bought on Monday iby Mr. J. S. Fowler for $75. 'Seven inches of rain fell on Saturday ?night and Sunday morning atPiercetown 'in this County. Rev. J. H. Thornwell, of Concord, N. C, accompanied by his wife and children, is. visiting relatives in our midst. The Greeley Institute is considerably im? proved in outward appearance since it has been'painted and a new belfry erected.' We are pleased to learn that Rev. Mr. Strickland is recovering from the severe catarrh under which he has been laboring for ten days past. The entertainment given by the ladies of | the Baptist Church on Friday last realized something over one hundred and fifty dol? lars above expenses. The conductors and other employees on the passenger trains on the Greenville <fe Columbia Railroad came out in a hand? some uniform on the 1st instant.* ? The Presbyterian Church will be closed on next Sunday, as Dr. Frierson will be in attendance upon the meeting of Presbytery, which convened at Williamston last night. Distemper is prevailing among the dogs in this community. The disease invariably nuts into hydrophobia, and it behoove? every one with distempered dogs to guard them well. "Whatever you do, don't speak "evil of | your neighbor. To slander your fellow creature is one of the basest of injuries. If you can't say something good of him, Tiold your tongue. Old citizens residing along the boundary line of Anderson and Oconee Counties in the Fork, report that they never witnessed such a terrific storm of wind and rain as visited that section on Saturday night. A dog fight, the runaway of an ox-team, the chase of a rabbit and the alarm of fire all occurring''" within a couple'of hours relieved the dull monotony of things on the public square last Friday afternoon. Appointments of the Y. M. C. A. for next Sunday: To conduct the afternoon meeting, G. F. Telly?Scripture, Matt. 11:00; Poor House Committee, J. N. Brown, J. B. Clark; Jail Committee, C. F. Jones, J. W. Daniels. The weather we are having at present is not at all favorable to the small grain crops, as it will cause the rust, which has already appeared in many fields, to spread. With this single exception, the crops are very promising. Associate Grange No. 2, composed of | 8 lab town, Brushy Creek and Pendleton Granges, will hold its next regular meeting with Brushy Creek Grange, at Cedar Wreath Academy, the 4th Saturday in April, at 10 o'clock a. m. What about that mathematical puzzle ? Did you work it ? We know of three ladies who spent the better part of a whole day in futile efforts to solve it, and finally con? cluded that the butcher either lied or work? ed on Sunday. Dr. Gus Thomson, son of Maj. James Thomson of the neighborhood of Store ville, arrived home last week from New York, where he has just completed his med? ical course. He will locate, we understand, at his father's. - The attention of our lady readers is di? rected to the advertisement of Miss Delia Keys, which appears m this issuer-She -is" well known as a most accomplished dress? maker, and always keeps a full stock of j millinery on hand. We are requested to announce that Hun? ter's Spring Grange will meet at the Grange HaU on next Saturday afternoon, the 10th inst., at 2 o'clock, for the purpose of at? tending to business of the order. A full meeting of the members is requested. Mr. Jeptha Watkins grist and saw mill and cotton gin on Little Six and Twenty Creek was washed away by the heavy rain on last Saturday night The loss was con? siderable. A number of the smaller bridges of the County were also washed away by the same rain. Col. James A. Hoyl. proprietor and one of the editors of the Baptist Courier, pub? lished at Greenville, spent last Friday and Saturday in Anderson. The Courier is now one of the best religious journals published in the State, and is rapidly increasing its circulation and influence. Married, in the Presbyterian Church in the City of Columbia, S. C, on Thursday evening, April 1,1880, by Rev. J. B. Mack, D. D., Capt. J. A. Wren, of Anderson, S. C, and Miss Minnie Jacobs, daughter of Rev. F. Jacobs, D. D., of Laurens County, S. C. The couple arrived in Anderson on Friday night Mrs. A. L. Bonner, wife of Rev. J. I. Bonner, D. D-, of Due West, died at that place on Tuesday morniug, 30th of March, after a long and painful illness from con aumption. She was a most excellent lady, and was dearly loved by a host of friends, who commingle their tears with those of her bereaved husband and other relatives. The rain storm of last Saturday night was one of the most remarkable we have ever Been. The glare of lightning was almost continuous from dark to day light. The rain of Sunday morning was extremely heavy, and did great damage by washing land. It was also accompanied by small hail, which, however, did very little dam? age. A steam saw mill of Mr. J. J. Itobinson, j situated near Craytonville, was burned on Saturday, the 27th of March last. Mr. \ Robinson," in cleaning out the fire of the-, engine, dropped sparks among trash which surrounded the engine house, and it ignited. The cause of the fire was, therefore, acciden? tal. Mr. Robinson's loss is twelve hundred dollars or more. Several sections of the County were visit? ed by another rain storm, accompanied by more or less of hail, on Tuesday afternoon. In the neighborhood of Mountain Creek Church many of the stones were as large as guinea eggs, but as the fall of hail was com? paratively light no damage was done be? yond the bruising of the young fruit trees and killing a few fowls. We learn that some of our Belton friends complain that Dr. Brown's communication in reference to the Atlantic and French Broad Railroad was not published in the Iktelligenceb the week before it appeared. The delay was no fault of ours. The com? munication did not reach us until Wednes? day night, after our paper was published, and we put it in the next paper. That was all we could do. The Baptist pulpit at this place was sup? plied on last Sunday morning and evening by Rev. J. L. Vass, of Spartanburg, one rf the ablest Baptist ministers in -South Caro? lina, and one'whojs very highly esteemed and adniired'Jn'this section for bis Chris? tian zeal and sincere piety. He preached in the morning on"the [subject of foreign missions, and entertained bis congregation with a most excellent discourse. The communication from "Bowline Green" relative to their package of papers not arriving regularly is the first intima tion we have had of the fact. The fault is not at this office. The package is mailed regularly every Wednesday afternoon, and should arrive at Williamston on Thursday. Possibly it may be taken from the office by some unauthorized person and lost. We hope the postmaster at Williamston will help us to find out where the trouble comes from, if there is any further complaint. Mrs. Susan Brock died on last Saturday night at the residence of her husband, Mr. James H. Brock, in Honea Path township, in this County, after a lingering illness from consumption for many months. Mrs. Brock was a highly respected lady, whose death is regretted by all who knew her. Her remains were interred on Monday morning in Barker's Creek graveyard, and the funeral services were attended by mauy ladies and gentlemen who were friends of the deceased. Maj. A. J. Dodamead has removed from Columbia to Hendersonville, N. C, where he has opened a first-class hotel. He is well known all over the State as the pro? prietor for several years past of the Vir? ginia House in Columbia, and will doubt? less do well at his new home. Summer tourists will not find a better place at which to spend a few days than Hendersonville, nor will they hardly find a hotel at which they will receive better attention than Maj. Dodamead's. Mr. James S. Russell, of the Corner town? ship, died at his residence in this County on the 6th inst., after an illness of several months from a complication of diseases. Mr. Russell was a good citizen, and his death is regretted by many relatives and friends. His remains were interred in the Cross Roads graveyard on the 7th inst., after solemn and appropriate funeral ser? vices, conducted by Rev, J. C. Hudson, in the presence of the neighbors and friends of the deceased, who had assembled to pay the last tribute to his remains. The Atlantic and French Broad Railroad Company have procured forty-nine convicts from the South Carolina Penitentiary, and are now working them in grading the road from Easley Station, on the Air Line, to? wards Pickens C. H. The Company have gone to work quietly, without any demon? stration or parade about breaking dirt, and all that fuss and feathers which usually end in nothing. They evidently mean business, and intend working their way over the mountains." The Anderson and Easley Railroad must be completed in time to give us the advantages of this projected Western connection. The Oconee Republicans held their Coun - ty Convention last week and elected two delegates to the State Convention, one of whom was M. H. Bryce, a brother of Alex. Bryce, the man who was murdered in Oconee last August, the other delegate being a negro. The Convention passed a series of resolutions, the general sentiment of which partake strongly of the old Radi? cal flavor. They want Grant nominated for President, and think it advisable for the Republicans of this State to put a full ticket in the field, and make a square fight against the Democracy. Messrs. G. F. Tolly and H. G. Scudday represented the Young Men's Christian As? sociation of Anderson in the State Conven? tion at Orangeburg last week. They say the meeting was very well attended, and that much good to the order in this State will likely result from it. The meeting was attended by some of the most eminent min? isters of the gospel in the State, whose pres? ence and counsel added a great deal to the interest^of thcoccasien-. Mr. T.'W. Stan IancCof Charleston, was elected President of the Convention, which commences the work of another year under more than usually favorable circumstances. The heavy rains on Saturday and Sunday nights made the ground too wet to plough on Monday, and it seemed that everybody had business in town, and from early in the morning until late in the afternoon the square was crowded with vehicles of every description. The merchants and their clerks were kept busy waiting on their numerous customers, and from all appear? ances did an unusually large business. "Mountain Dew" was freely imbibed, but the police found little trouble in keeping order, and everything passed off quietly. This is the way we like to see it. If men will drink ardent spirits, let them act like they had respect for themselves, as well for other people and the community at large. A gentleman of this town, who was at Seneca City on Sunday last, and who has character for veracity, says that it rained down frogs in abundance at that place on that morning. As an evidence that they came from the clouds, he states that they were seen to fall into a house through a broken window pane, and that a sprinkling pot that was filled with rain water had sev? eral frogs in it. Considering the size of the opening in a sprinkling pot, they certainly must have come thick and fast in order for several to have gotten into a single vessel of that kind. Should this shower of hopping animals turn out to be of the green species, and our friends of Oconee make up their minds to make the use of them that is made in some sections, the demand for frying sized chickens in that locality will not be very great this season, and the Counties adjoining will thereby reap some of the benefits of this most wonderful shower of living animals, as it will compel those of that County who have chickens for sale to seek a marke- elsewhere. We desire to put in Anderson'? cl aim at once for her quota of the surplus frying-sized chickens. The Other Side. Our contemporary, the Press and Banner, was not without authority for its statements in reference to the Anderson cotton market, although the authority ha-i not proven to be very accurate. The following letter ap? peared in the Press and Banner of last week, and, as we want to act fairly in the matter, we reproduce it: Doknaldsville, S. C, March 29. Editors Press and Banner : Your informant was not badly mistaken j as to the McGees in the Anderson cotton market. As for myself I was not there, and only sent one bale of cotton. I do not think 1 realized more than,I could have got at Donaldsville, if as much. As to A. H. McGee, he was not satisfied with his sale. J. S. McGee expressed him? self to me as not liking the Anderson cot? ton market. He threatened to bring some ! of his cotton back before he could get what he thought it was'worth. These are facts that cannot be denied. Respectfully vours, "W. P. McGee. Wc regret that Mr. W. P. McGee does not favor us with the quotations for this point and for Donualdsville ? :i the day be sold. Perhaps he expected a greater bonanza than was reasonable in the Anderson market. At any rate, his cotton must have been in? ferior to that of the other gentlemen, or he would have got the same price. If he got the same price he made money by sending his cotton here, for the other gentlemen say they made money by coming. As to Mr, A. II. McGec's dissatisfaction, it would have been a good idea to let him state bi? own case, for Mr. W. P. McGee evidently misunderstood Mr. J. S. McGee, and may also have misunderstood Mr. A. H. McGee. [n its present shape the card of Mr. W. P. McGee proves very little. The Savannah Valley Railroad. The Directors of the Savannah Valley Railroad are to meet at Anderson Court House on next Wednesday, at 11 o'clock a. m., for tho purpose of considering mat? ters of importance connected with that enterprise. One of the most important questions to come before them is the pro? priety of collecting or postponing the col? lection of the taxes voted to the Railroad in the town of Anderson and townships of this and Abbeville Counties. Upon the determination of this question much of the success of the enterprise will depend, and and it should be made to depend upon the fact as to whether the amount voted is suf? ficient to grade the road. If it is, then the tax ought to bo collected. If it is noi;, it should not be collected until the necessary sum is subscribed, for it will do no good to expend fifty thousand dollars without prac? tically finishing the grading. This question should be decided by a sur? vey of the road, and we think the Directors will act wisely by postponing the decision of the question to August, which will be soon enough for the fall collection, and in the meantime securing a thorough survey. We are confident the necessary funds for this can be raised by private subscription, and in August the Directors can act intelli? gently ou the question. If this course is not pursued, then the Directors ought to refer the question of immediate collection to the stockholders. This would let the people of each township send delegates to represent them, and all would be governed by the majority of the townships along the line. N These remarks are made by us with a view of calling the attention of the Direc? tors to the subject. The Road is a very important one to this place and to the sec? tion through which it runs, and we are anxious that no false step be taken in con? nection with it. It may be a little vexa? tious to some of the friends of the Road to see work on it delayed, but we had better delay than to begin before we arc ready. If the amount subscribed is not sufficient to grade the Road we can raise the addition? al amount if we do it before collecting the tax already voted, but the people have been told the tax voted will grade the Road, avid if it is collected and fails it will arouse a prejudice and hostility to it that may be hard to overcome. They ought to be told the exact facts before their money is collected. We must have the Road through whether the Directors adopt one view or another of this subject. Farmen' Alliance. A meeting was held in the Court House on last Monday for the purpose of forming a Farmers' Alliance for the County of An? derson. The attendance was small, but the undertaking was given a beginning, and we trust will develop into a useful and improv? ing association. Col. J. W, Norris, <m tak? ing the chair, made a practical and interest? ing address, after which Maj. T. B. Lee was elected Secretary, and addresses were made by Col. E. M. Rucker, Hon. B. F. Crayton, Maj. Lee, Mr. E. B. Murray, Capt. M. B. Williams and Dr. T. J. Cook. On motion of Capt. Wilhams, each township was re? quested to form an auxiliiary alliance, and send three delegates to the County Alliance at an adjourned meeting, to be fixed by the President. The Secretary was instructed to prepare and publish a preamble setting forth the object of the Alliance, and append Capt. William's resolution, and publish the same for the benefit of the Alliance. Ay request of the meeting, Mr. W. W. Keys read the following essay from Col. T. H. Russell, which the meeting requested published in the Anderson papers, and, after attending to other business, adjourned. col. bussell's essay. Fellow-Cit izens: Over twelve months ago the farmers of Anderson County were con? vened in mass meeting for the purpose of co-operation in a united effort to resist what was conceived to be an attempted monopoly or extortion, in advancing the price of gu? anos at a time when larmers were least able to afford. Enough was achieved by that ef? fort to convince any one that the farmers are abundantly able to protect themselves against all monopolies, if only they can be united in co-operative effort. Other meet? ings have since been held, but the attend? ance has fallen off until scarcely a corporal's guard can be found willing to meet together in consultation for the farmers' good. Some who were very forward in the first move? ment have never since condescended to honor the meetings with their presence. Ou the other hand, others who took but little interest at first are manifestiug consid [ erable zeal now, and this has encouraged us to hold another farmers' meetiug, on this, the first of April, the beginning of another crop season, and a subject assigned for dis? cussion, to wit, "The advantages of the Piedmont belt of country for immigration and permanent settlement," and to your humble servant was appointed the duty of opening the subject by a lecture or essay. While we would have desired that a more , I competent person had been chosen for this j important duty, yet no subject could have been assigned of a more agreeable character to him who addresses you. On this soil we were born, and here we have lived for a half century of our exis? tence, and experience and observation have convinced us that no better earthly heritage was ever conferred upon mortal mau than this of ours. In whatsoever aspect we have fallen behind other sections is notascribable so much to the natural defects of soil or climate as to our crude and improvident modes of cultivation. Lying on a parallel of latitude between 34 and 35 degress, we have a climate unsur? passed for salubrity and uniformity of tem? perature. Our average annual summer heat hardly ever reach much above 80?, and the winter cold seldom goes below 20?.? Living as we do beneath the shadow of the Blue Ridge, our fevered brows in summer are fanned by the mountain zephyrs. A case of yellow fever has never perhaps been known among us, and cholera never visits us. Pneumonia and typhoid fever are more common, but taken in time they are easily controlled and seldom prove fatal. On the score of health, therefore, the first conside? ration with the immigrant, no portion of the State offers so great inducements as the Piedmont belt of counties. Our colleges and higher schools of learning are gradually being located in this favored region, hence our educational advantages will soon be veiy superior. Perhaps, and justly so, the first question with the average immigrant is, What are the religious advantages to be enjoyed by a proposed removal and settle? ment? In this regard we shall speak more particularly of our own County. The re? ligious influences pervading our community are very powerful and commanding. All the leading denominations of Christians are represented, and scarcely a neig?borhood can be found in our bounds without its house of worship. Crime is sensibly on the decrease, and the worthy immigrant, whether from the North, South, East or West, is always welcome. Situated on a parallel of latitude between 34 and 35 degrees, there is no portion of our wide national domain that offers such great inducements to the Northern or Eastern immigrant as the Piedmont belt of the Carolinas and Georgia. The abundance of timber and water, the temperature of the climate, the capabilities of our soil, all con? spire to make ours a desirable home for the immigrant from the Middle States of New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Mary? land, or the New England Stales. Our soil and climate are well adapted to the cultivation of clover and the grasses, and these in their wake bring improved stock, with plenty of manure to recuperate exhausted fields." Cotton and rice grow anywhere south of the Blue Ridge?the one clothes the world and the other feeds a large portion of it. Fruits and vegetables of almost every kind can be raised in our midst. The peach and the apple find their natural home on the slopes of our hills, and the iig and pouigninute, with a little artifi? cial winter protection, will always yield a variety of tropical fruits for the use of our families. We have an abundance of water power for the propelling of factories and other machinery, and the day is not far distant when the manufacturer and producer of the raw material will be near neighbors and friends. Railroads, the great arteries of trade and commerce, are permeating every section of our country. The Air Line runs the whole length of the Piedmont belt, ex? tending from Virginia to Georgia, skirting the Blue Ridge Mountains the whole dis? tance; the Spartnnburg ? Union, the Green? ville and Columbia, inid the Blue Ridge, with extensions from the mountains to the seaboard, knit together in bonds of steel the interests of the upper and lower cuuntry, and is fn.?t obliterating all sectional lines. The Blue Ridge, after its long rest at the base of the mountains, has lately liecn awakened to new life, with very flattering prospects of its early completion across the mountains to KnoxVillc, thus bringing the State with her seaport towns in direct rail? road connection with the great network of western roads converging towards Knox ville. Nearer the centre of the State runs the Spartanburg it Asheville Road, nearly completed to the latter point, with an equal? ly strong probability of an early completion of the missing link*from Asheville to Wolf Creek, thus again completing still another important link in the great Western connec? tions with our seaport towns. And still another line, midway between the two, which, according to a recent survey, affords the most practicable crossing of the moun? tains yet discovered south of Pennsylvania, making Asheville its Western termini, with a direct connection with the great lines of road traversing our State east and west, north and south, and running through the French Bread Valley from its head to its foot, with the richest soil for grains and grasses, and her hills affording a great vari? ety of minerals, especially lime and iron in great abundance, with some outcroppings of coal. All these lines of roads proposing Western connections should receive the hearty support of every well-wisher of his State and her seaport towns. No petty jealousies should be allowed to hinder the great work of an early completion of all these lines of roads, but every one should do what he could to bring about this desira? ble consummation.' So, to sum up the whole matter, in re? viewing the advantages of the Piedmont region of country for permanent settlement, whether we look to health and religious influences, the first and highest considera? tion, along with educational facilities, or to her material prospects in manufacturing and agricultural development, we shall f ^e that she is not to be surpassed by any other. - While we say this generally of the whole Piedmont belt of country, perhaps we shall be pardoned if we speak more particularly of the advantages afforded by our own County to the worthy emigrant for perma? nent settlement. Anderson County possesses advantages equal to any other of the Piedmont belt. Her soil is of every character from the rich alluvial bottom to the sandy loam on our ridges. Between these two extremes we find the heavy clay soils along our creeks and branches, peculiarly adapted to the t>roduction of grains and grasses. The ight mulatto soils of the poorer uplands, although not so well adapted to the growth of grains and grasses as the heavier clays, is better adapted to the cultivation of cot? ton, the smaller fruits and vegetables. And the poorer ridges are almost exclusively de? voted to cotton and the small grains. The sweet potato finds a congenial home on all these lighter soils, and can be successfully grown any where in our County. The cow pea, the luscious watermelon, thechufa, the pinder, all yield bountifully to proper cul? ture. The Irish potato and the cabbage, for an early and late crop, succeed admira? bly. So with the onion and the usual va? riety of garden vegetables. It is believed that the onion might be made one of our best money crops, if it were possible to di? vert the attention of our farmers, for a sin? gle crop, from the all-cotton theory to that of diversifiedagriculture. The usual market price for this vegetable is never less than one dollar per bushel, and the yield never below one hundred bushels to the acre. Upon our variegated soil and with our uni? form climate, the farmer in Anderson Coun? ty can produce an abundance of splendid syrup from the production of sorghum cane. One hundred gallons to the acre is the aver? age yield, and sometimes it reaches two hundred gallons or more. Indeed, we have a soil and climate suited, it seems, to the production of cotton, all the different kinds of grains and grasses, fruits and vegetables in great abundance of every variety. Anderson County has been not inaptly called the banner county of the State. In some respects, at least, she is justly entitled to the appellation. She was one of the first counties to throw off the antiquated and burdensome practice of fencing the crops instead of stock. This great burden rested as an incubua on agriculture, requiring usually a winter's outlay of labor to repair and build fences. According to statistics at Washington, it is estimated that it requires an average of three dollars of fencing to every dollar's worth of stock, under the old and barbarous system of fencing crops. Since the adoption of the change by Ander? son County the contagion is spreading rap? idly, and the probability is now that the change will become a State law. Anderson County is justly entitled to the appellation of the*banner county in another important respect. She was perhaps the very first Counfvifl the State to recognize the neces? sity of a drainage Jaw^for health and the development of agriculture. - Gradually but surely her people arc becoming educated ta the importance of such a law, and the time is not far distant when its beneficent results will be seen and felt along the borders of all our rivers, creeks and branches. Form? erly, it was not an uncommon occurrence for logs and trees to be felled in our creeks, as an easy way of getting rid of any further trouble, to lie and rot and putrify until some kindly freshet should remove the nuisance to the farm of some innocent man below. Under the present law, it is a mis? demeanor for any man to do such an act, and not only so, but every landowner is re? quired to keep the streams through his farm free from all obstructions of rafts, trash, debris, &c. Let her banner wave, say we, until An? derson shall become such as her natural advantages entitle her to become?the gar? den spot of the Piedmont rc,-ion of the State. In conclusion, fellow-citizens and farmers of Anderson County, let us exhort you, in the language of Holy Writ, "not to forget the assembling of yourselves together, as the manner of some is." Once or twice each year might the farmers of Anderson County assemble in mass meeting at their beautiful county town to consult together and devise ways and means to advance and develop the great business of agriculture. Lectures or essays should be delivered at these meetings touching all points connec? ted with agriculture and its advancement. The relations of agriculture to the govern? ment of the country, the discussion of science and agriculture, the question of the establishment of agricultural colleges and experimental stations, all these and much more would naturally come within the purview of such meetings. Said meetings would not be designed to interfere with or supercede the more permanent organization of the Patrons of Husbandry and Farmers' Clubs, but rather to enlist the popular heart on the great and paramount question of agriculture, and thus prepare the way for the enlisting of many recruits to the ranks of these older organizations. Thus, if the farmers of Anderson County please, will the little cloud, not bigger than, a man's hand, become a great and mighty cloud, big with blessings for our whole people. Something Wrong. Mr. Editor: The Bowling Green club of subscribers have failed to get two or three packages of papers within the past six or eight months. There is evidently a neglect of duty somewhere, and we are very anx? ious to know where it is. No less than three members of the club called for the package at Williamston on last Friday, and were told the package had been taken out. The next day a member of the club called and was told that the package didn't ar? rive at that office until Friday night, and had been taken out; and we, the members of this club, are still minus our last week's issue. Now, Mr. Editor, if you can find out where these lost packages of papers go to you will very much oblige and gratify BoWMMi GllEEN.3 .VidcrvHi Market Reports.
