A goodly number of our citizens went
over to Hartwell on Tuesday with the ex?
pectation of hearing speeches from Alex.
Stephens, Ben Hill and Bob Toombs, but
they were disappointed, as neither of those
gentlemen were there. A large number of
delegates arrived at Hartwell on the morn?
ing of Tuesday, and were assigned to homes
among the citizens. The meeting promised
to be one of considerable interest, especially
to agriculturists.
David Marcus, a 2-year-old son of Mr.
Samuel E. and Mrs. Mamie Craig, of this
place, died on Friday^ last of diphtheria.
Profoundly trying to a^_er*s and mother's
feelings was the scene of his early conflict
with death. But parental hope rises supe?
rior to grief, and faith commits the little
one into the best of hands. The remains
were interred in the Presbyterian cemetery.
The bereaved parents have the sympathies
of a large number of relatives and friends.
A correspondent of the Union Times
makes the following very pertinent sugges?
tions : "I would suggest to our future law?
makers the justice and expediency of chang?
ing the law in regard to working the roads,
so as to make all wagons and teams liable
to road duty, without allowing the owners
to claim personal exemption for such ser?
vice. I think it unfair to compel a man
who does not own a horse to contribute as
much to the repair of roads as one who
owns many."
A correspondent of the Newberry News,
writing from this place under date of July
29th, has this to say about the progress of
the temperance cause in this County and
the young men of our town: "Temperance
is on the increase in this County. As an
illustration of how the cause is progressing
I will give you the words of a good old cit?
izen in speaking of the business young men
of Anderson, he said they were all (except
two) members of somebranch of the church,
and that last Christmas there was only one
young man drunk in the town during the
holidays."
The Walhalla Courier of lost week con?
tains an able editorial on the Homestead
Law, in which it is justly claimed that the
Republicans, who framed the Constitution ?
of the State, are responsible for the hard?
ships brought upon the non-'andowners by
the decision of the Supreme Court lost
year, viz: that personal property was not
exempt under said law from sale for debt.
The decision was made by Democratic
Judges, but the Democratic party is not in
any way responsible for the .hardships
caused by it, as they could not have decided
otherwise without perverting tho law and
violating their oaths.
There will be a mass meeting at William?
ston on Thursday, 19th day of August, at

The Democracy of Greenville County
held a Convention on Monday of last week,
composed of 156 delegates from 18 clubs.
Delegates were elected to the Convention of
the 5th Congressional District, instructed
for .Hon. John H. Evins, and to the Con?
vention of the 8th Judicial Circuit, instruc?
ted for Col. J. S. Cothran for Solicitor. The
County primary election was fixed for the
25th day of this month. Resolutions were
passed denouncing the Greenback move?
ment in that County as "destructive to the
cause of Democracy;" declaring "that Rad?
icalism in South Carolina is synonymous
with knavery," and recommending Belton,
in this County "as the place to hold the
Judicial Convention, as the most conven?
ient point for the largest number of dele?
gates." The meeting was harmonious
throughout, and showed that the Democra?
cy of that County is thoroughly organized.
We regret to announce the death of Miss
F. L. W. Robinson, daughter of Mr. James
L. Robinson, of Abbeville County, on the
29th nit., of typhus fover, in the fifteenth
year of her age, after an illness of nineteen
days, which she bore with Christian resig?
nation. Although young, she had been for
several years a consistent member of the
Little River Baptist Church, and in her last
sickness cherished the hope which only a
pure and Christian life can impart. The
family have the heart-felt sympathy of their
friends and acquaintances in their sore be?
reavement.
The Marion Merchant and Farmer, speak?
ing of the primary election system of nom?
inating candidates, says: "This much wo
do know, that loading men from the coun?
ties adopting it, officeholders, if you please,
elected under the primary system, denounce
it, and say they would be glad to get rid of
it." This is not true of Anderson County,
nor of any other County that has tried the
primary system that we know of. The
more we see of it in this County the better
wc like it, and it is fact that no one can dis?
pute that the Democracy of Anderson
County was never thoroughly united until
the convention system was done away
with.
It is very gratifying to see the marked
improvements that have recently been made
in the Greenville Daily News, which ?s now
an excellent paper, in every respect worthy of
a liberal patronage by the up-country. It is
printed in small type, and contains the
latest telegraphic news from all quarters of
the globe, besides able and sensible editori?
als and all the State news of general inter?
est To the people of Anderson it especially
commends ikself, inasmuch as it reaches this
place eleven hours ahead of any other daily
paper published. The up-country has long
needed a first-class daily, and it is gratifying
to sec the degree of success that is attending
the efforts of the enteVprisIng proprietors of
the Nnvs, and we only hope they may be ac?
corded that generous patronage of which
they have shown themselves eminently de?
serving.
Even the chickens have discovered a
means of finding out the candidates. We
have often heard that they could tell a
preacher from other men, but we never be?
fore heard of them being able to distinguish
candidates, but if the story that has reached
our ears from the Hopewell country is true,
there is no doubt of the fact. It is this : X
very diligent and energetic candidate, one
who has traveled about as many miles in
the last six weeks as. the next one, called
on one of bis friends the other day, and
after being in his house a few minutes-an
old hen came into the room and flew upon
a table. She was of course driven out, but
in a few minutes returned, when she was
frightened out a second time. But she was
not to be foiled in her mission, and the first
thing they knew she was again upon the
table, and before she could be frightened
off deposited an egg, on which was plainly
to be seen the seal of Anderson County, in
the centre of which was the first letter of
the candidates name. This little incident,
of course, has rilled the candidate's heart
with a new hope, and he is now urging his
claims with a still greater earnestness than
ever before.
The late session of the Saludn Association
at Townville was one of the most interest?
ing sessions of that body for a number of
years. Although the weather was very In?
clement the attendance of delegates was
large and the audience remarkably atten?
tive for such a large gathering. The busi?
ness of the Association was transacted in
harmony, and the spirit of thu body deeply
interested in the promotion of all the be?
nevolent objects in which the body is en?
gaged. The reports of the various com?
mittees were terse, to the point, and will
doubtless impress the churches with the
subjects of which they treat. The reports
from the Executive Board were particularly
interesting, showing that during the last
Association year more had been accom?
plished for Missions and other benevolent
enterprises than during any previous year,
the contributions having reached the sum
of eighteen hundred dollars. Nearly all
the churches arc now in hear y co-operation
and contribute to the various objects which
the Association seeks to foster. Rev. J. S.
Murray was unanimously re-elected Mode?
rator and Rev. M. McGee Clerk. Townville
extended a cordial welcome to both dele?
gates and visitors, and all left impressed
with the hospitality of the citizens and the
pleasantness of the meeting. The next As?
sociation will be held with the Church at
Williamston._
The Municipal Election.
The muni Ipal election on Monday was
the quietest,'without a doubt, held in fifteen
years. There was but one ticket in the
field, the Democratic ticket, and. very hale
iuterest was manifested by the Democrats
and none at all hy the Republicans. It
seemed to be a foregone conclusion that
whoever was nominated by the Democratic
Club would be elected, and this feeling
caused an indifference among the Republi
bans about registering, a large proportion of
whom failed tc appear at the Town Clerk's
office for registration. The vote cast was
the smallest since about 18G6. The voting
population of the town at present is be?
tween 350 and 400, and of this number only
266 registered. The returns of the man?
agers of the election to the Council on Tues?
day showed the following result, to wit:

Another Negro Accidentally Shoots Illm
HClf.
Me. Editor : Scott Brown, a negro man
living on Mr. W. J. Hix's place, a short
distance above here, accidentally shot him?
self, while out squirrel hunting, on the
evening of the 6th inst. He was trying to
discover the whereabouts of a squirrel that
he had seen in a tree, und had placed the
butt end of his gun on a log, with the muz?
zle pointing upward, when, by some means,
the gun slipped off the log and the hammer
struck it, causing the gun to go off. The
entire load of squirrel shot entered his left
cheek, causing a very ugly wound, but one
that is not necessarily dangerous. The
shot ranged upward. W. P. C.

County Executive Committee?A Full, Har?
monious and Important Meeting-.
The County Democratic Executive Com?
mittee met pursuant to call of the Chair?
man in tho Intelligencer Offick, at 11
o'clock a. m., on Monday, August 9. All
of the Clubs were represented except Honea
Path and Savannah No. 1. The Committee
was organized, upon motion of Mr. W. a.
Neal, by the election of Mr. G. F. Tolly as

State Executive Committee to the County
Chairman was read and acted upon by the
Committee. A motion was adopted re?
questing the Clubs of the County to meet
on Friday, 20th of August, at 2 o'clock p.
in., to perfect their organization and make
arrangements for the complete registration
of all voters, white and black, designating
them as Democrats or Republicans, within
their bounds: provided, that no Club need
meet on that day which has made arrange?
ments for this registration before that date.
Upon motion, it was resolved that the State
campaign fund be assessed upon each Club
in proportion to its membership by the Sec?
retary, and that-each Club be requested to
raise the amount as rapidly as possible, and
turn the same over to the Secretary of this
Committee, to be forwarded to the State
Executive Committee.

The Benefits of the Stock Law.
We make the following extracts from a
letter from Hon. B. F. Crayton to Mr. C. M.
Fulton, of Union County, about the opera?
tions of the Stock law in this County :
There is an erroneous idea in reference to
the amount of pasturage necessary to keep
up cattle. We have found that they do
best on small enclosures and shifted often,
as it is the nature of a cow to look into
every fence corner during the day; and,
under our old system of going where they
pleased, they consumed in the extra travel
what they gathered, and, as a consequence,
were us poor in the fall as they were in the
spring.
It was prophesied by opponents of the
change that it would lead to constant trou?
ble by stock breaking out, and by persona
trespassing upon the open fields. Such is
not the cose.' There has been much less bad
feeling on account of stock than formerly.
I have not heard a hog squeal from being
dogged in three years, and I have not heard
of a single case* of trespassing or traveling
through fields. It has brought a great many
waste places into cultivation, and made
valuable strips of the best land that were
too small to be worth fencing.
I have no doubt that this County saved
by the change this past season from $75,000
to $100,000 in the yellow cotton, which
would have been destroyed by*the cattle
had they been allowed to run on the fields
as formerly, which I regard as u clear gain.
The opponents before its passage, said we
would have no milk and butter, but they
were false prophets, as it has greatly in?
creased. A remarkable case occurred at
Piedmont Factor}', on the line of this and
Greenville Counties. There was brought
there in one day 90 pounds of butter?85
pounds from this and 5 pounds from Green?
ville where the change was not in force.
The colored people have fallen into it
much sooner than it was supposed they
would, and we think a large majority now
favor it. Wc think, after trial, it benefits
the renter most as he saves the labor of re?

NOTICE FINAL SETTLEMENT.
The undersigned, Administrator of
the Estate of M. L. Kennedy, d^'d, hereby
gives notice that she will apply the Judge
of Probate at Anderson C. H., on the 7th
day of September, 1880, for a Final Settle?

? A large number of Hancock and
English clubs have been organized in
Indiana. Senator McDonald expresses
absolute confidence in a Democratic vie
tory in October and in November. He
believes that the Democratic majority in
October will be at least 5,000 and hones
that it will be double that figure. Judge
Roach feels confident of carrying the
State, but admits that it will be the
hardest fight the party has ever had.
The Republicans start in this year in
better shape than they were when they
ended the campaign of 1876 and they
are confident. They do not count on
winning any recruits from the Democrats,
but base their calculations of success
upon the Greenback vote, of which they
expect to get 26,000. They also expect
to gain three or four thousand votes from
the negro exodus. They have run in
about that many into the State, and
though the negroes have not lived there
long enough to acquire the right of suf?
frage, they'll vote all the same. Who
can tell one negro from another? There
is nothing to discourage Democrats in
the situation in Indiana, but, on the con?
trary, everything to encourage them.
Every move of the Republican campaign
so far has failed, and we have the vantage
ground.

Why Do We Do This ?
BECAUSE our Stock is too large for this

BECAUSE we make more by selling
everything at ~^*t than carrying over, as to
all indications, Goods aro going to be low
next season.
BECAUSE we need every inch of our
large store for an immense stock of Fall
Goods.
BECAUSE the people expect of us to
follow the example of the leading Store in
every city to have a great "Clearing Sale."
BECAUSE wo can afford it, and we know
our hundreds of customers appreciate our
efforts.
Lny aside your prejudices, and don't
think that Charleston, Atlanta or New
York are the only places where you buy
what you want at a low figure.
We say?give us a trial, and you will be
agreeably disappointed and highly pleased.

INOW have on hand one of the Improved Hall Self-Feeding Cotton
Gins, Feeder aud Condenser. Any party desiring to purchase a Cotton
Gin for the coining season will do themselves very great injustice not to call on me be?
fore buying. The following arc parties who arc using the HALL GIN in Anderson and
adjoining Counties with perfect success, viz:
A. J. Stringer, Jesse Timras, M. A. Cobb, Dr. W. J. Millford, T. L. Haddon, Knight &
Balentine Wm. D. Sullivan, Rodgers & Duckworth, and R. Y. H. Lowry, Seneca City.
The HALL GIN gives better satisfaction with the Feeder and Condenser attached
than any Gin manufactured. Be sure and call and sec my sample Gin before buying,
and read what W. D. Sullivan says :
Tumbling Shoals, S. C?Hall's S. F. Cotton Gin Co., Siiuj Sing, N. Y.: I have ginned
25 bales on your Gin, and it works finely. The Feeder is doing right, and the roll runs
smoothly and does not break. I will give you the weights of some bales that I have
ginned this week, which deats anything that I have ever accomplished. As a general
thing our cotton does not gin well until November and December.
The bales of Alex. Watson:
1340 lbs. Seed Cotton.503 lbs.
1276 lbs. Seed Cotton.461 lbs.
1237 lbs. Seed Cotton.457 lbs.
3853 lbs. 1421 lbs.
Not quite 2J lbs. seed to one of lint, with weight of bagging and ties on bales. One bale
for S. D. Glenn, 11G3 lbs. seed, one bale 432 lbs. seed cotton. Weighed in and bales
weighed out on Fairbanks' scales. Respectfully yours, Wm. D. Sullivan.

Thos. Steen & Co., Greenville,
S. C?Dear Sirs: I have used the
Hall Self-Feeding Cotton Gin,
manufactured at Sing Sing, N. Y.,
for several seasons. It is the best
constructed and finest finished Gin
I over saw. It gins faster, makes
a better sample, and, thus far, ex?
cels in turning out any Gin ever
used in this part of the County.
I have used, during the past years,
several of the most improved Cot?
ton Gins, and much prefer Hall's
Self-Feeding Gin to any of them.
It is a perfect success, and I cheer?
fully recommend it to any need?
ing a Cotton Gin. Very respect?
fully, John Roseman.
Piccetown, S. C, July 17,1880.
?john E. Peoples?Sir: The 40
Saw Hall 8. F. Cotton Gin bought
of you, has given perfect satisfac?
tion. I ginned 100 lbs. seed cot?
ton in 8 minutes by my watch.
It cleans the seed better and runs
lighter than any Gin I ever saw.
To those who want to purchase a Gin, don't fail to buy the Hall Gin.
S. R. Tims.
I have been selling Cotton Gins for the past eight years, and the Hall Self-Feeding Cot'
ton Gin excels all others, and cotton ginned on the Improved Hall Gin will bring a Detter
price than cotton ginned on any other. I am agent for a first-class Portable Engine and
Cotton Presses. Call on me before buying.

COTTON GIN, FEEDER & CONDENSER.
AS THE GINNING SEASON is about to commence, it would be to the interest of all
who expect to carry on the Ginning business to be careful in the selection of the
best machine. It was our object when we started the Gin business to sell the best Gin
made in the United States, and we claim that we have succeeded.
Our PRATT GIN is equal to all, and far superior to many Gins now being offered for
sale. We never make a sale without a guarantee of perfect satisfaction, and claim noth?
ing for ' 3 Gin that we cannot fully substantiate.
As we are engaged largely in Cotton Buying, as well as the General Merchandise busi?
ness, it is to our interest that every Ginner should use the best Gin. We have bought the
past season about 4000 bales of Cotton which was ginned on the Pratt Gin, and in every
instance it brought the highest prices.
From the many certificates in our possession wc arc gratified with the results, and refer
you to the following named gentlemen, who are now using the PRATT GIN, and abide
their decision :?
