Qn&ttm Intelligencer. li. 1$. MU KRAY, Editor. THURSDAY, JUNE 14, ISK?. UM K YBAlt.?1.50. SIX MONTHS. Two Dollar* li "ol |?a*l?l In advance. Darlington lian raised $130,000 lor her colton factory. Only $15,000 remains to he raised in Darlington, after which thc I ml anec of ?250,000 has been promised from outside source-. This i- a good record for Darlington, and shows: her citizens to be liberal, progressive and sagacious. Anderson ought lo press up lier cotton factory subscription. Thc IJoard of Trade could do some valuable work for our city by exerting its influ en?a to hasten the completion ol the necessary subscription. lt ?snow said that .Mr. Hendricks is willing to take I he nomination for vice President on the ticket willi .Mr. Tilden for President next year. This, in our opinion, would be the strongest possible ticket lor thc Democrats to put in thc field, but it is said that Mr. Tilden would not accept a nomination now. Mr. Hendricks lias waited too long. If he had not refused the second pince in 1880, thc probability is that the old ticket would have been nominated and elected. The old ticket, however, would lie very strong before the people, and we believe, would command more votes than any ticket the Democrats can nominate. Tlie interest in the Carolina, Cumber land (>ap ?fe Chicago Railroad in this section of thc State is very great. The old route is considerably stirred up, and Greenville is moving vigorously in the direction of a (lank movement. An derson is not looking on complacently, but intends making u bid, if any change in to be made. We can give enough lo make it greatly to tho interest of thc road to come hy Anderson, for wc have a much shorter and cheaper route than Greenville, and one through a most val uable and improving territory. It will cost in actual monty all that Greenville cnn give to build the road by that city, while Anderson can pay enough to greatly help on tho construction of thc road. If any change is to bo made, An derson ought to have tho road. ANOTHER WILD WOMAN. Thc Abbeville Medium says: I tc port H have reachod UH that n wi hi woman ls out lu tho country near town, she is black mid ubotit eight feet in height. 11 or body is covered with athick coat of long hair. When any ono ap proaches ?ho runs away at wonderful speed. She wan Hoon in thc Fort l'ickcns bottoms nnd on tho nanni day passed through a strip of WOOIIH moro than live miloH from town. Emit week Him killed n lino hog and ato it up raw without taking tho hair ol?. Her favorite time for traveling is about dusk but whon pinched bv hunger ulm can bc seem at all limes ' tho day making horwny through tho woods of thu Hiirroundlng country. There seems to bo a boom in wild wo men jiiHt now. Four Counties possess such a curiosity, and apparently the re turns are not nil in yet. A NEW RAILKOAD. Tho Hartwell (Ga.) Sun says: While Editor dantt \H booming rail roads in Athens, wu would Uko to whis per lu lila ear that a railroad from Atliens to AndorHon, S. C., by way of Daulcls vlllo, < 'ames ville, lind Hurt well would he of immense advantage, to both termi nal pointa. Athens would regain all of the trade lost to her by tho building of Ute {Elberton road, mid would have n moro direct lino to tho Hcaboard, while Anderson would gnin a moro favorable outlet to tho Weston, markots. Aud both cities would reap the benefits re sulting from additional railroad compe tition. The country along the line would ho developed mid fumiHiied nu avenue to tho markets of the country. Tho road proposed by our Hartwell contemporary is ono that will probably be built some day. as n road from A thens by Andersou to York or Spartnnburg, to connect with the proposed extension of Mr. John Robinson's system, which con sists of the Baltimoro Steam Packet line to Wilmington, and the Carolina Cen tral from Wilmington to Charlotte, would give n valuable competing line between Atlanta and Baltimore. It would traverse a better local territory than the Air Lins and be as ?ho?t or shorter in distance, and considerably shorter in time, as it could avoid the heavy grades and sharp curves which impede the speed'on tho Air Line. Whenever our Georgia friends aro ready to go to work on this enterprise, they will find tho people of Anderson, Lau rens, Union and York ready to do all that we can to help them. We already hnvo n charter for the road. A BICK RAILROAD. Under this head the Abbeville Medium Bays : The Savannah Valley road ia quiet. Since tho election of nev.' ofllora we have beard nothing reliable, from lt. The road should bo built, but an entire chango ls necessary iu tho method of conducting ita construction. The people have paid money into it and should hnvo some thing to abow for it. The road bed is too crooked and unless the line is changed tho expense of construction will bo en tirely too heavy. The $25,000 from Augusta which the visionaries promised has not come to hand. Anderson'*subscription amounts to nothing unless tho Augusta money is paid In. Taxes have been exhausted so far as we have boen able to ascertain. Tho road which should have beon built by this date is not half finished. Wo regret tho present condition of tho road and trust that under the manage ment something practical will be dono. There ls not a man In the town of Abbe ville who does not wish well to the enter prise, and all statements to tho contrary so industriously circulated by the Igno rant and designing, have boon absolutely false. There is much force in the statements of tho Medium as to the past manage ment of this road. It hos been mado from seven to eight miles longer than was necessary, and the expense consid erably i qe'reased thereby. The ad van In ges of competitive bids for location have been utterly ignored, and good opportu nities wasted ia this way; and, if we bave been correctly informed, the con tracts of thc company heretofore have been, at least in one instance, too care lessly made. The statement, however, that a chang? of the road bed is necessary to its completion Is not, in our opinion, correct. We believe the road can and Will bo buOf; on either line/though we do not hcH?t'?? to say that we*believe the. Uno to Tr Vy is in every way the more desirable route. Tho new President'and Board of Directors Sod the road in em barrassing drcuustwices, b?S they are preparing to raise the fond* necessary for ?ta completion. They ?rc good busi ness men, ?nd are working quietly lo complete road. They expect during tho prouv?t year lo raise thc necessary funds, and when work is again resumed the road will bc speedily built. There is no fear that tho road will never be built. Its completion is only a (natter of lime. K<j t'A I. TAX KS. The Xt a * mu? (.'mirier reads tho people of Anderson County a lecture on tax dodging in the following article : Wo lind the following in tho Anderson iHttlliyrncer : "Prof. II. C?. Iteod, who has up to.thiH limn had charge ol u flourishing military 1 school al Honea Path, has purchased from I 'apt. W. S. Sharpe ti ve timi II hall I acres of land at >..',-">", or $100 por nero." < Tho Hoard of Initialization of An I? r- ( son County should make a noto of this. By puning this ami that together, keep ing u record of thu pri?es paid lol leal 1 estate ami other taxable property win n sold nt auction or ilistno.scil of ?it private i sale, tho Hoard of Equalization in thc | Hoveral counties can strikt- soiiiHhiiiuj | liko a just average ami Hecttre a fair assessment nf properly for taxation, Land in Anderson County is now us- I Messed at a fraction over >??'> an acre. This I is a very low valuation, not more, in I fact, than one third ol tho average price ? the lands of tin- county would bring nu- ? der the hammer. Allder: on is ono of tho most prosporoiiH Counties in tho st.it?-, ami Its fanners an- enterprising and thrifty. Tiley make large crops, andover ? since the war have boen steadily hiiprov- ' ing their lands ami their liicth ls ?d' i farming und increasing tho average pro? dm Mon of their i rons. All this has, ni ( course, naturally enhanced the value nt their real ostato, ami although il is not claimed that all the laud in tho County is worth 4-liHi an aero, the present assessed value of $."> an itere is very lar below its rca! selling value. This article presents thu people of iii is* County in an unfair light before the Slate, in that it presents Anderson Coun ty t.H a conspicuous instance of tax dodging, whereas in fact the lands of this County are assessed higher than those of any other County in the State, except Charleston. It is also incorrect in thal it omits to state that tho laud purchased was in thc corporate limits of the City of Anderson, which would leave the im pression that our County lands are bringing ?400 per ncre. which is above the actual maximum for County Inuds. There is no doubt that, actually speak ing, tho lands of this County arc greatly underestimated for taxation, but com pared with thc lands of thc oilier Coun ties iu the Stale, wo do not hesitate to claim that our assessment is fair. We believe' that Anderson is the most pro gressive and prosperous County in the State, iu many respects ; but it must bo remembered that our lands are assessed in proportion. All of thc lund in thu State ought to bc rained in valuation for taxation, and if fairly done the people of Anderson would have no objection, for their taxe* would be very slightly in creased, if increased at all, by a proper valuation throughout thc State. Knilroud Meeting nt Easley. A meeting of the citizens of Bickens County was held nt Easley, S. C., on June 0, 1SS.1, for the purpose of consid ering thc movement now on foot, inau gurated by the people of the City of Creen ville, to devise ways and means to depnrt from the original line of survey of the Cnrolinn, Chicago and Cumber land (Jap Kail mail, for tho purpose of carrying snid road by said Cily, and to take such steps as might be found neces sary to adhere to the former and origi nal survey, whereupon much grading hus beou done. On motion Hon. D. F. Bradley wnc called to ino chair, and W. M. Ilngond requested to act as Secretary. Thc Chairman fully stated tho object of thc meeting. Stirring and enthusi astic speeches wero made by Col. Ii. E. Bowen, of Bealey, Majs. E, B. Murray and W. W. Humphreys, of Anderson, setting forth the advaniuges of tho Hoad tunning on its present locution, and the inadvisability of making the proposed change via (?reenville. J. B. Gossctt offered the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adored : Whereas, it appears from recent events that the City of Greenville is making un effort to divert tho C., C. G. & C. ll. B. Co. from its present chartered and loca ted routo by way of that city, by thc pledge of $100,000 for the construction of said road, increasing thc distance twolve or fou:ie?n milos at an additional cost, over and above thc nmount o Ile red by Greenvillo, to probably M00,000 moro thau it will cost. This proposition is absurd, inasmuch as it would require the Company to expend at least threo hundred thousand dollars (in addition to the one hundred thousand proffered by Greenville) more than it will cost to build it on the present line, and at the same timo increase as bofore stated tho distance twelve or fourteen miles. For this reason alone, we do not believe the Company, having a proper regard for the economy of construction and distance, and the right of the present stockholders and towns designated in its charter, will for a moment entertain the proposition. But laying aside tho financial considera tions abovo stated, Ibero is a principle of honor involved that we do not believe the present honorable direction would think of violating. This grand enterprise was first inaugu rated by Bickens C. H., Easley, Wil liamston and Belton, and the citizens of these places have already expended a considerable sum of their private means and much of their time and thought in making it a possible success. The grad ing of the road from this place to Pick ens C. H., a distance of eight miles, is now about completed, and twelve or fifteen miles have also been graded be tween this place and Williamslon. The right of way hos been sr cured from all the landowners along the line except in a few instances. A mortgage to secure a loan to complete the road has already been executed upon the present line. The citizens of Pickens C. H., Easley, Williamston and Belton, have alway? been the warm friends and advocates of the road, while those of Greenville, (a part of them at least,) have sneered at and thrown cold water upon it. For theso and other considerations that might be presented, we hold that the Company ia bound by every honorable considera tion to construct the road upon the pres ent litio. Therefore be it ?I Jksokcd, By the citizens of Pick en? County, in mass meeting as sembled, thai we moat cirut?t?j pro teat against the proposed divergence of the road by WP 7 of Greenville aa being alike a moat reckless and useless expen diture of money and unjust to as.

KI?rou: My attention hus often been attracted to the careless and al most encouraging tone in which many of our papers speak of the Nihilists of Russin, and their attempts to murder thc Czar and other officials. Some make a joke of it, Home speak of it as a matter of trivial moment-such as the killing of a dog, squirrel or rabbit, and some have even gonn to tho extent <;f publish ing interviews willi Nihilists, in which they boasted of thc murders which they had committed, and thc editors attempt ed to excuse their murderous designs, ami to class them with heroes, on thc ground that they were living under n tyrannical government. Kow, very few, appear to realize that they arc educating the public mind, and influencing them either for good or for evil. Recently a widely circulated paper rallier suggested that tho safest time for Ibo Nihilists to strike the blow "would be aller the co ronation of tho Czar is over, and when the officials aro oil'their guard : and still not one word was said against the foul design. It appears to me that it is sin ful and very unwise to present a murderer to tho public gaze as a hero and patriot. No one more admires the true patriot (even when under thc cloud of misfor tune) than I do, but I have not n parti cle ol' sympathy with the sneak ami the murderer; ami I think that our papers, one and all, should exhibit murderers (whether the Nihilists of Russia, the Dynamilists of Ireland or the Commun ists of Krance) in the abhorrent light which belongs to them. Murder is mur der, whether committed on the Czar of Russia or lue President of thc Knited States. Who knows how much the crazy and egotistical brain of Guiteau may have been influenced by the encourage ment and eclat given to the Nihilists by many of our Northern papers? They excused the Nihilists on the ground that the Czar was a tyrant, who oppressed his subjects aud stood ns a barrier to tho pros perity of his country. Guiteau looked on President Garfield as a tyrant who retarded tho progress of his party, and through Iiis party, thc prosperity of his country. Guiteau has perished on tho scaffold aa a murderer, but the Nihilists aro interviewed and encouraged. Is tbcro uny difference between murdering thc President of the United States and thc Czar of Russia or the humblest citi zen of Russia or America? Murder is murder, especially when deliberately planned as by the Nihilists, and every honorable, and surely every Christian person, should look with disgust on their desigus. Is thcro not something terrible in tho idea of u man and his family be ing hounded to death aa thc Nihilists have pursued tho Czar and his family ? and yet I have seen few (if any) expres sions of sympathy for tuc devoted wife and mother whoso life, aud the lives o? thoso dearest to her, have been so ruth lessly and constantly threatened. Is it that thc men ot America are losing theil manhood and chivaliy, or that, through thoughtlessness and a love of thc sensa tional, they are subduing the nobler im pulses of their nature? Who is tobe tho judge of tyranny ? Aro our young people to bo educated that murdor is ex cusable to do away with n tyrant, and that they nre to be the judges of such tyranny? God forbid ? There aro but two coses in which bloodshed has ever jcen excusable: the one in defense of female virtue and in preserving the pu rity of tho family circle; thoother in self iefense, or in a personal encounter. The plotting, scheming, sneaking murderer ihould bo an object of the greatest ab horrence to every one, let bira cloak his baseness under any name whatever. Il my party, in any country, is not strong mough openly to defend their rights, then let them abide by the divine inunction, and be subject unto "thc cowers that be." The South has set a jobie example in this respect. Aftei laving fought desperately, she has hon >rably submitted to the consequences ol lefeat. Who could imagine the patriot Washington or the noble Lee in thc illghtest degree sanctioning any party n attaining their ends through murder 1 The press is wielding a mighty influence "or good or .for evil. ? notice that in . ?hool in this county your paper has beet utroduccd to be /ead instead of the usual emding-books.

(irani made a characteristic address. He started out by stating lint on a recent visit to Louis ville, ho had been overwhelmed with attention. He agreed willi Home of the oiiier speakers that thereat desideratum is for people on both sides of tho section? al line to be brought together. The rest of his brief remarks may bc quoted en tire : This will bc an occasion where they will meet upon that line, and win re, I hope, great numbers of our Northern people will go and great numbers of tho Southern people will come. They will timi, when they meet and shake hands, that, after all, there is very little differ ence between us. (Applause.) Wc have no longer any North, South, East or West. I am sure there is great igno rance on the part of th? people eacli side of tho line as to bow those on the other side think and act. I don't know how I can illustrate this bolter than to tell what w&9 said, to me l?y a gentleman from Louisiana whom I met at Saratoga last summer. Within the past three years 1 have visited every Southern State where slavery once existed, and during my travels I went to Louisiana, where, as everywhere else in the South, I was treated with great kindness. I visited the Legislature and was intro duced by the Speaker of the House in a speech so hospitable and eloquent that it embarrtr-seti nie, for I was expected to reply and I was not equal to the occa sion. (Laughter.) This gentleman-he is still Speaker, I believe,-was the one I met at Saratoga last year. He said lo me then :-"Why, I am Hurptised. I thought the grasa wn3 growing in thc streets of thc Northern cities. I thought your people were poor. I lune not visi ted tlie North since before the war. I think, sir, the very best thing Congress could do would be to make an appropria tion to send Northern people down South and particularly to send people from tho South up North." (Laughter.) "Thc best thing next to that will bc tlie Exposition. I want to go, with oth ers from tho North, to shake banda with the Southern people. (Great applnuse.) Mr. Huntington and the other railroad men will furnish us with special trains and will doubtless give you Southern gentlemen ample opportunity to come North and shake banda with us. Cruelty to Convicts. Coi.I'MHi.v, Juno 10.-The ten con victs mentioned in yesterday's dispatches as having been returned to the Peniten tiary from Twiggs's convict camp on the Georgetown and Lane's Railroad on ac count of illness constitute ten more count.-, in the long indictment against thc policy of the State in hiring its prisoners out beyond the surveillance and care of the State's oflicers. These men -.vero found in bad condition by the superintendent, physician and directors of tho Penitentiary when they recently visited thc camp on tho Georgetown Railroad, and by their direction have been returned to the Penitentiary for hospital treatment. It will be remembered, ns stated in this correspondence, that upon Superin tendent Lipscomb's return from his Georgetown inspection he announced that toe result of thc inspection would bo communicated to the Penitentiary board before its publication. That has now been done. The report states that the convict camp was found in a hor ribly filthy condition, that there was no hospital, and sick and well convicts were kept confined together, that there was insufficient medical attention and that he could not see how the sick could recover with such surroundings. This was the first serious complaint which had beeu made against Maj. Twiggs, the contrac tor, but it was sufficiently momentous to induce the board to serve a copy of Superintendent Lipscomb's report on him for explanation. The sick convicts are now here, and they verify what has been said. One has chronic pleurisy and is entirely beyond recovery. Two are ill with scurvy, one with peritonitis, four with inflammation of the knee joints, and two sutler from Chronic exhaustion, or in other words are completely "broken down." The character of tbeso diseases sufficiently indicate whether or not the sutrerers received proper care. The man with pleurisy was hopelessly ill when inspected by tho physician of the Peni tentiary, and yet it was not known at the camp what his disease was, nor what his condition was. Tho coses of inflamma tion of the knee indicate serious over work in digging, and those of .scurvy un suitable food. The cases of "break down" explain themselves. AU of these men when furnished to the contractor were in good health. The main cause of their non-recovery hos been inefficient medical attendance, the luck of a hospi tal and proper dietary and sanitary at tention. I have the authority of tho physician of tho Penitentiary for tho statement that these aro thc worst cases which have been returned to tho institu tion since the wretched Greenwood and Augusta Railroad scandal. Tho officers of the Penitentiary aro thoroughly dis heartened by the continuance- ot this sort of thing, lt looks as if it were impos sible to securo proper treatment for con victs out of sight of thoso who are officially responsible for their well-being. - Tho monument at the grave of Gen. Marion, in Berkery County, was destroyed hy a recent cyclone. - In Berkeley County the law against liquor selling in the country districts is resisted on thoground that the prohibition of liquor selling in the country is dis crimination against one class of citizens in favor of another. Judge Wallace sustained the law, and the case goes to the Supreme Court. - While Mr. P. G. Cannon, of Or angehurs, was endeavoring to take a load from a rifle on last Friday there was a sudden discharge, the load blowing out backwards and rather painfully wound ing his hand. It was a lucky escapo that his arm was not blown on or that somo more serious accident did not oc cur. 1 A pood Baptist clergyman of Bergen, N. Y., a strong temperance man, suffered with kidney trouble, neuralgia and dix? xiness almost to blindness, over two years after he waa told that Hop Bitten would cure him, because he waa afraid of and prejudiced against "Ritters." Since his euro he says none need fear but trust in Hop Hitters. Very Respectfully, V. K. MA ?TIN. - The Lancaster I.ubi<r says the story published io thc Charlotte Jon rm sneer of thc destruction ?d' a child of the wandering Turks hy one of the hears in Lancaster ii news to thc people of that place. - Last Saturday two young sons of Mr. Richard Duckett, of Cromer Town ship, Newberry County, were planting peas. One dropped the peas and the other (taine immediately alter him cov ering them with a hoe. One accidentally struck the other on thc head with the hoe, cutting a gash clear through the skull to the brain and cutting out a piece of the skull bone. Thc injured boy is six or seven years old, and there are chances of his recovery. - Colton has recently been ?dapied to a new and most useful purpose. Man ufactured into duck it han been success fully introduced as a roofing material. Aside from its cheapness it possesses the advantage of lightness as compared with shingles or slate, clleclually ex cludes all waler, ami is said to bc a non conductor of heat, si, that thc rooms next thc roo! arc not unduly heated by the sun's rays. The method of laying is to plane thc boards to an even th?ckness and nail them down securely. Thc duck i s laid dry, and is drawn over thc roof not lengthwise. The edges arc lapped on inch, and nailed with sixteen ounce tinned carpet-lack??. These tacks arc driven one inch apart. Then two coats of paint, composed of oil and lead are applied. When it is desired to protect the roof against tire, fire-proof paint may be used in addition. Should cotton come into general use as a roofing mate rial there would be a great demand for the staple. Viewed in this light, the new adaptation is a subject of impor tance to the cotton -Towers. *,*"Men are but sorry witnesses in their own cause."

Its chief points of merits are : It takes very liitlu room, is oasiiy hui died, and takes so little power ; can bo used on all kinds of powers-horse, waleroi] steam. Ginning and packing can all go on at tho samo time, without Interfering with the Gin. A two-inch belt will pack a 500 lb. halo of cotton. It saves ?ls o?q tho first season in labor. Bead the following Testimonials : ANDKIISON, S. C.-Mr. John E. Peoples-Slr : Tho Steam Powor Yat Winkle Cotton Pross bought from you last Fall bas given entire satisfaction. I packed hales of cotton weighing OOO to 72.*) lbs. in five minutes with all easo. using a 4-lnck belt and 25 lbs. steam. There did not seom any more strain on tho Press than with i 450 lb. bale. For strength, durability, lightness of powor, small quantity of stcim required, economy of space, I doom it tho King of all Cotton Presses ; especially so as tho low price at which it can bo bought for puts it within reach of every man run ning a stoam Gin. In fact, I would not bo without it for twice ita cost. I would ad' vise all my friends to buy one of Van Winkle's Steam Powor Cotton Piesses, as yt? will savo its cost in labor in ono year. , . M. A.
