The Democracy ot Anderson County should give the campaign a good send-off next Thursday. Let there be a grand turn? out of the mounted red shirt companies, and snch enthusiasm as was never before witnessed in any political meeting in the up-country. It - is important that a good start should be made. Mr. James Clinkscales, a prominent and influential citizen of the upper edge of Ab? beville County, died on Saturday morning in the 62d year of his age after a brief ill? ness. His remains were interred in the Kveyard at First Creek on Sunday morn J in the presence of a largo concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. The committee of Pomona Grange, of Anderson County, on labor and fertilizers, are requested by Joshua Jameson, the chair? man, to meet at the office of J. E. Breazealrf on Monday next at 10 o'clock a. m. The committee consists of Joshua Jameson, D. H. Russell, A. N. Richardson, John W. Shearer, I. M. Pickens, J. P. Smith and J. B. Watson. Every person who can attend the mass meeting at Anderson on the 9th of Septem? ber should do so by all means, as it will be the only opportunity our people will have of hearing Senators Hampton and Butler and the nominees on our State ticket. The day will be emphatically the biggest day that Anderson has seen since 1876, if not the greatest ever witnessed here. The Abbeville Radicals held a County Convention in that town on Saturday last, which was completely captured by the Democrats. Col. Cothran, the Democratic County Chairman, and Col. Wallingford, a Greeabacker from Indiana, who is said to be canvassing that County in the interest of his party, made speeches. From all that we can learn, it resembled very much the meeting here on Monday. Mrs. Marion G. Hill, widow of the late Col. R. S. Hill, died at the residence of her son-in-law, Dr. 8. M. Orr, in the town of Anderson, on last Sunday night, after a lingering illness of several months from consumption. Mrs. Hill was an acconi Elished lady, and was much admired and eloved by a large circle of friends. She was a pleasant neighbor, a genial friend, a j fond wife, a devoted mother and a pure Christian woman, the memory of whose virtues will be cherished by a large circle of relatives and friends. Her remains were interred on last Monday afternoon in the Presbyterian cemetery, after a solemn and impressive funeral service conducted by Rev. J. E. Carlisle. A large congregation assembled to pay this last tribute to the de? ceased. Capt. John McGratb was taken with a hemorrheage of the lungs on Tuesday morning, and during the day '-ay in a most critical condition. During the night there was a change in his condition for better, and as we go to press (Wednesday after? noon) hopes arc entertained of his recovery. The hemorrheage was produced by the ef? fects of a wound received in the war, from which he has been a great sufferer. At the meeting of the Anderson Demo? cratic Club on Friday afternoon the follow? ing gentlemen were appointed us a commit? tee to make all necessary arrangements for the mass meeting on next Thursday, and also to receive the speakers and arrange for their entertainment: W. \V. Humphreys,. I>. S. Maxwell, D. E. Carlisle, J. M. Payne, P. K. McCully, J. L. Tribblc, J. S. Fowler, X. T. McFall, J. W. Keys, W. J. Ligon, J. L. Orr. It is a good committee, and its duties will be well performed. The Political Meeting nt Townvllle. On last Saturday afternoon the citizens of I Townville and vicinity, who had attended f the Grange meeting during the morning, re? assembled lor the purpose of hearing some political speeches. Maj. George W. Merrit, President of Fork Democratic Club, No. 2. presided, and introduced as the first and Principal speaker for the afternoon Hon. D. Tyatt Aiken, the nominee of the Demo? cratic party of the Third District for Con? gress. Col. Aiken spoke almost entirely upon national politics. He gave his rea? sons for preferring Hancock to Garfield for President, and arraigned the Republican nominee for the lack of moral courage and an undue love for money. He expressed 'the opinion that if Garfield should be elect? ed, our people will never see another Presi? dential election, but that the-country will drift rapidly into some consolidated power at Washington. He complimented Gar field's ability, but said he is totally unrelia? ble, and that his election would forebode the greatest misfortune to our government. Col. Aiken then arraigned '*-;e Northern Democrats for insincerity and >rejudice to? wards the South. He said that the North only allowed.the South a ve.y small pro? portion of the appropriations for rivers and j harbors, and that they had repeatedly re? fused to restore the soldiers of the Mexican war living in the South to the pension lists. He arraigned them for maintaining a high taring ana said that the better class of peo? ple in the North were generally Republi? cans. That they had the brains, themouey and the culture of the North, and were more congenial to his tastes than the Dem? ocrats. He was unwilling for the South, which composes the greater portion of the J Democratic party, to be controlled and j ignored by the minority. Col. Aiken claimed that the. elections in the Northern cities are controlled, largely by the use of money and by the exercise of the money power, and thought this the greatest trouble ? the Democrats will encounter in carrying the Presidential election: He said that the host of office-holders in the United States exercise great influence, all of which will be given to Garfield in order to retain their | 'own positions. He thought the contest in Indiana a very- important one to the Demo? crats, for if we carry that Statu .in October we will be very apt to cany thft Presidential election, but if we lose Indicia then we have very little prospect of stress. Col. Aiken closed bis speech by frying that if there is a Democrat in South C.-.^olina he is one from head to foot. Maj. Mcrret then called for addresses from the candidates for the Legislature, and in? troduced the following gentlemen: Col. E. M. Rucker, who spoke upon tiie J subject of the relation of the State govern? ments to the National Government, con? tending that the right of local self-govern? ment should not be turned over to the gen? eral government, because it is too far re? moved from the control of the people. The government at Washington was not as easily held responsible as that at Columbia, and therefore it is for the interest of the people of the whole country to retain their separate State governments. For this pur? pose he felt that the success of the National Democratic party was all important and necessary to the well-being of the South as well as every other section of the Union. He could not, therefore, agree with the dis? tinguished gentleman who had proceeded him in reference to the Northern Demo* crats. He had just returned from the Con? gressional Nominating Convention, where Col. Aiken was nominated npon a platform expressing adhesion to the National Demo? cratic party, and he, for one, was hearty in support of its principles. CoL J. C. C. Featberston spoke in advo? cacy of the doctrine of State rights. Said that he had been reared in this school of I politics; bad lived in it and expected to die m it. He believed in none other. If our people wish to see an instance of the con? sequences following a destruction of State [ rights, he would cite them to the case of | poor Davis, in this County, who was mur? dered by a revenue officer named Mattison, and yet because he was a revenue officer Judge Bond took him away from the State Courts, where he could have had a fair trial, and released him on bail without ever pre? tending to try the case. He said that he j favors a more rigid economy in the admin? istration of the State government, a cutting off of useless offices and the call of a State Convention to give us a new Constitution. He thought it could be better reached in this way than by amendments by the Leg? islature. Maj. E. B. Murray, who said he thought the present Presidential canvajs the crisis in our country's history, which would decide the perpetuity of our free institutions or the centralization of the powers of gov? ernment. The Republican party had, by degrees, been destroying the rights of the States and familiarising the people with fraud, force and corruption uiK.il the climax has been reached and the people are called upon to decide between the free institutions of a Republic and the authority of central? ization. He, therefore, regarded the success of the National Democratic party as of the greatest consequence, and therefore he disa? greed entirely with the position of our dis tinguished representative in Congress. There is not any other alliance for the South than with the National Democratic party. >'The Republicans have brought us to the condition we are now in, and have never shown any disposition to help us out, while the Northern Democrat have done all for us that the circumstance permitted. We must remember that we have but re? cently been in possession of the National Congress. Before that time we received nothing from the Republicans. Since then j the Democrats have done something forj our rivers and harbors, though not as much as we wanted. They would, however, im? prove when we got possession of the Presi? dency. Now, if any positive act of relief | for the South is passed the Presidenf vetoes it, as in the case of the law regulating the appointment of United States Marshals. If a bill to pension the Mexican soldiers in the South had passed, Mr. Hayes would have vetoed it, and the Republicans would have claimed it as evidence that the South intends making a raid on the treasury. He claimed that in the Democratic party we, will be able to exercise our legitimate in? fluence, but in the Republican party we would be in a hopeless minority. He did not concur in the opinion that the Repub? licans possessed the brains and money and culture of the North. He contended that such men as Thurman, Pendleton, Bayard, Seymour, Tilden, Charles Francis Adams, Hancock and English are the piers of any men in America, and that it is hut reason? able to conclude thai; their constituencies are the equals of any constituencies in America. He then spoke briefly upon the importance of State politics, niter which the meeting adjourned. Honea Path Townsti.p. Saturday, August 21st., was u pleasant day at Town's Chapel. About three hun? dred persons assembled to enjoy a Sunday School pic nie and to hear some Sunday School addresses. The singing attracted everybody to the stand, and the exercises were then opened with reading and prayer by the Rev. J. Finger. Messrs. J. M. Stepp and J. M. Lander addressed the audience in the forenoon. After a basket dinner Dr. W. C. Brown and Mr. Win. Robinson en? tertained the assembly with some interest? ing remarks relative to the great work of the Sunday School. The speeches seemed to be very much enjoyed; the audience was composed of intelligent men, beautiful wo men and merry children; the nice contents of the baskets lent their charm to the occa? sion ; and the day closed quietly, pleasant? ly and profitably to all who were present. A Card. Mn Editor : I positively declined being a candidate for the Legislature nt the Coun? ty Convention at Anderson C. H., some time ago. I see, however, that I have been nominated by Fork Democra; !c Club. No. 2. I take this opportunity to it turn them, and my many friends in all parts of the County who have insisted on my running, my most sincere and heartfelt thanks for their kindness and support at all times. My private business, however, prevents me from being a candidate, and would force me to decline if elected at the present timo. Respectfully, W. C. Bbown. Death of Capt. Joseph Y. I'retwcll. The many friends of this most estimable gentleman will regret to learn of his death, which occurred in the seventy-ninth year of his nge at his residence three miles west of Anderson on last Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, front an attack resembling paral? ysis. Cap'. Fretwcll was born on the Yadkin River in North Carolina on the 10th day of January, A. D. 1S02. When a small boy he removed with his parents to what was then Pendleton District, in South Carolina, and settled three miles west of where the town of Anderson now stands. The country at that time was almost a wilderness, a hun? dred acres of land selling for a saddle horse, and in many instances for much less. Capt. Fretwell was, therefore, a citizen thorough? ly identified with the growth and prosperity of this section of country. He possessed a limited education, but had a remarkable memory and strong mind, which made him a very pleasant companion and a good bus? iness man. He devoted his life to agriculture, and was a successful farmer. Although ho took a deep interest in the welfare of his country, and always used his strong influ? ence for the success of the cause of good government, he never would consent to be? come a candidate for any office except in ? the militia, where he was a Captain for many years of a fine Company, and made a most excellent officer. He was a strong character in every way. No man was ever esteemed higher for honor and unquestioned integrity in all of his acts. There was no better neighbor or more benevolent citizen. He was most tender and affectionate in bis domestic relations, and thoroughly true and faithful as a friend. In his death our community has lost a good man, and his memory will ever be respected by those who knew him. His remains were placed to rest on Sun? day afternoon in the Baptist Church Ceme? tery, after appropriate funeral services con? ducted by Rev. T. P. Bell. The New Schedule. The first regular passenger train on the Blue Ridge Division under the new fast schedule was run on Monday. By this schedule the passenger train reaches this place in the morning at 11.33 and leaves at 11.35, stopping only two minutes, and in the evening it arrives at 5.55 and departs at 5.56, remaining only one minute. Close connection is made with the Air Line trains at Seneca City both in the morning and evening, and also with the passenger trains on the main line of the G. & C. R. R. at Belton. Owing to the very short stoppage here persons intending to take the train at any time must get to the depot in time to obtain their tickets and checks Jor bag? gage before the train arrives, as they will not have opportunity to attend to this af? terwards, as the officers of the depot will be busy delivering and receiving express and baggage. By reference to the corrected schedules in this issue full particulars as to the arrival and departure of the train at all points on the Road can be seen, by which it will also be noticed that we are highly favored with an extra train from Belton to this place every day, which is one of the best features of the whole change. Hereto? fore the extra train was only run every other day, which often made it necessary for persons to go from Anderson to Belton by private conveyance in order to reach Greenville without a great loss of time. The authorities of the Road certainly de? serve great credit for this display or enter? prise, and we sincerely hope it may prove very advantageous to the Dusiness of the company. Through night freight trains, with passenger coaches attached, will be put on the main line about the 15th inst. The freight train on this division makes close connection at Belton with the through freight on the main line. It passes this place in the morning at 5.14 and in tbo evening at 7.15. Col. James L. Orr. The determination of this gentleman to remove from this place to Greenville at an early day with the intention of permanent? ly locating in that thriving and growing city, which determination was first publicly made known in Iiis card published in the Intelligencer two weeks ago declining to be a candidate for Congress, is universally regretted by the citizens of our town and County. Having been born and reared in our midst, and having represented our County with ability in the State Legisla? ture during four years of the most trying and perilous period of our State's history, and being also a lawyer of fine abilities and lucrative practice, Col. Orr r.uturally has many worm friends and ardent admirers in this County, who regret exceedingly to see him leave us. His uniformly courteous and manly bearing, his zeal for and devo? tion to the interests of the town and County, his public spiritedness, together with his high toned character,, has won for himself a place in the affections ot our people of which a man of three score years might well be proud. As an evidence of his great Copularity and of the high regard in which e is held by our people generally, we need only refer to the unanimity with which he was nominated by the Democratic Conven? tion of this County in its late meeting for Congress from this District. It is a matter for congratulation, however, that in his re? moval from Anderson the State will not lose his talent, but that it will simply be transferred from one County to another. Col. Orr will carry with him to his new home the good wishes of all his acquain? tances, in common with whom we sincerely trust the people of Greenville will place as high an estimate on his many noble quali? ties of head and heart as do' the people of Anderson. He is in all respects worthy of the fullest confidence of any people. The Grange Meeting at TowbvIIIo. According to the previously published programme, the Pomona Grange met at Townville on last Saturday morning, Col. J. W. Norris presiding. The subjects of fertilizers and rust in cotton were called up and referred to the committee on fertilizers with instructions to report at the regular meeting in October. Hon. B. F. Cray ton was invited to give au account of his vip;t, to the Georgia Agri? cultural Society, Wi .ch he did in an inter? esting manner. He said that one of the principal reasons which induced him to make the visit was to endeavor to awaken an interest in the propagation of fish in Savannah River and secure the co-operation of Georgia in such measures as may be nec? essary to secure the free passage of fish up the river. He bad succeeded in procuring a memorial to the Legislature of that State asking that the matter be looked into and the obstructions complained of arranged so as not to interfere with their free passage. He said there was some difference of opin? ion as to the cause of scarcity, which is at? tributed to the dum across the river at Au? gusta, and also to the fact that the gas works there empty their refuse material in the river, which poisons or drives off the fish. Whatever may be .the cause, he hopes to have it removed. Col. Norris then introduced us the first speaker for the occasion John E. Breazeale, Esq., who delivered a polished and eloquent address upon the subject of woman and her education, after which Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken was introduced and made a most ex? cellent and practical address upon the sub? ject of agriculture, advocating the system of rotation in crops, and combatting the practice of extensive cotton culture. Hit expressed the opinion there was more profit in the production of red oats than in cotton, and advocated making the necessaries of life, including meat, at home. He urged the importance of establishing manufactur-. ing enterprises in our midst as a means of enhancing the value of the cotton crop and diversifying labor. He gave interesting ac? counts of the successful manufacture of sugar from sorghum cune and from corn stalks, and predicted that it would become a prominent industry. He also gave an account of the new method of curing food for stock by cutting up t he corn and stalk when it is in the silk und keeping it under heavy pressure. This experiment has prov? en very valuable and satisfactory where tried. He next gave us a brief account of the composition of oleomargarine, and re? peats the opinion that it is delicious and as palatable as good butter. The speech was well received, and at its conclusion a recess was taken during which an excellent basket dinner was enjoyed by those present. Anderson ."Market KcpurtH.

Tlic Executive Committee of tlie Demo? cratic party of Anderson County met at the Intelligencer oflico, pursuant to call of the Chairman, on last Tuesday at 11 o'clock a. m. SenJtors Bayard, of Dela? ware, Vance, of North Caroliua, and Gor? don, of Georgia, were invited to address the meeting in Anderson on the Oth inst., and the following Marshals were appointed to command the procession : Gen. W. W. Humphreys, Chief Marshal, with Capt. B. C. Martin, Col. M. P. Tribblc, Capt, J. A. Cowan, Col. A. J. Sitton, Capt. J. M. Kidd and Mnj. Elias McGee as Assistant Mar? shals. The Chief Marshal was authorized to appoint as many aides as he deemed necessary. The mounted clubs were re? quested to meet at the Fair Grounds at half past nine o'clock on Thursday lorning, und the speaking is to begin "at half-past ten. The McGowan Artillery and the Pen dlcton lied Shirts were invited to take part in tho demonstration and fire the salutes for the day. The Anderson Palmetto Band was invited to furnish music for tho day. The colored band was also invited to attend the procession and play at the meeting The ladies are especially invited and urged to attend this meeting. The business houses of Anderson arc requested to close from ten o'clock until half-past three on the 9th, and it is requested that the bar-rooms be closed during the day. The Executive Committee then consid? ered the request from West Savannah Club to postpone the Primary Election, and de? cided, after sonic discussion, that it would be unwise to postpone tho election. After transacting other business connected with the campaign, the Committee adjourned subject to the call of the Chairman. E. B. Murray. Co. Chmn. W. A. Nkal, Sec pro tan. YVlllIumston. At the last meeting of the Williamston Democratic Club it was decided not to make any nominations. The meeting was largely attended, and very great interest manifested, A resolution was adopted requesting the merchants of this place to close their doors on the 9th of September and turn otit in mass to the meeting in Anderson. Of course not one of our merchants could be so wrapped up in self or blind to the inter? ests of the Democracy as not to comply with that request. If there is one, let him be forever enrolled among the tilings that have proved a failure, and be remembered only to be watched. Now is not the time for indifference on this subject. Every true Democrat ought to feel that there is a work for him to do. When that is the case then may we expect better times.Our Baptist brethren have closed a very inter? esting and profitable Union Meeting, which commenced on last Friday. The Sunday School meeting on Sunday morning was especially interesting. After reports from the various churches, addresses were deliv? ered by J. W. Poore, of Bclton, and J. M. Pickle, Principnl of the Williamston Male Academy. Though the house was crowded, the attention was unexceptionable, and I am satisfied that a more pleasant and prof? itable meeting has not been held in this Slace in many days. With the "well one, good and faithfu' servant," spoken in the heart of every goo. .itizen of William? ston, Mr. Pickle bids adieu to his school to enlist himself as a pupil in the Johns Hop? kins University, Baltimore. Young, ambi? tious, talented, we bespeak for our high toned, gentlemanly class-mate a brilliant career and abundant success. Known to be a teacher of untiring energy and an enemy to superficial teaching, his attack upon such teaching was most appropriate, and will long be rememberi 1 by all who heard it. .You may expect a full turn out of "red shirts" on the 9th. The merchants are sell? ing out their stock of red flannel, and the old ladies in the surrounding country are wielding the needle with as much patriot? ism as they did in '70. Many of the red .shirts that were worn in '70 are tattered and ' torn, but the hearts that throbbed beneath them then still pulsate witli quickened emotion at the mention of Hampton's name. Km:,c, A Card. Having been nominated by the Pendl" ton Democratic Club for the office of Coun? ty Commissioner, I. wish to assure my friends that I fully appreciate the compli? ment shown me, but at the same time I am compelled to decline the nomination, as my private affairs demand my full attention. Respectfully, J. W. Simpson. Democratic Clubs. West Savannah Democratic Club was or? ganized at Holland's Store by the election of the following officers : President, M. F.

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.

It is a perfect success, and I cheer? fully recommend it to any need? ing a Cotton Gin. Very respect? fully, John Roseman. Piecetown, S. C, July 17,1880. ?John E. Peoples?Sir: The 40 Saw Hall S. F.

PEOPLES, Agent, Anderson, S, C. 3m DANIEL PRATT CIN CO.S 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 the Gin that wc 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, aud in every instance it brought the highest prices. From the many certificates in our possession we arc gratified with the results, and refer you to the following named gentlemen, who arc now using the PRATT GIN, and abide their decision :? Col. J.
