A writer from Anderson, over tlic sig nature of "Broadaway," arraigns the INTELLIGENCER and its Editor in the Greenville Newa on account of its dis sout from thc rates of passage and freight established by the Railroad Commission. Wo do not know who this writer is, but ono thing is certain he need not go to the Greenville New* to combat our views, unless ?the that ho docs not wish to dis close his identity, for the INTELLIGENCE? will afford the fullest and fairest oppor tunity to all of our citizens to express their views upon this important subject. Wc have no desire to prejudice the rail roads or the people, but do want to see both have justice. Therefore, wo pub lish "Broadaway's" article, and oller him, or any other citizen, the ii^e of our col umns to give publicity to his views upon railroad rates. Thc article is as follow? : ANDERSON, H. C., Sept. -7th, '?:t To tlw Editor of the Kew? Tho editor of the ANDKIISON INTIXLI (iKNCP.n, who is also a Director of tho C. andu. it. it. Company and whose utter ances on railroad questions are unavoid ably received ?us representative of tho Clyde Syndicate, bas an editorial in bis Issuo of this day- from which wo extract tho following : "Tho thousand mil*! tickets used by men who travel a great deal have also been abolished, and ?ll have to pay tho sain? faro. It is safe, therefore, to say that tho present passenger rates will pay tile railroads more than thc former rate did, and this excess will como out of tho people, In consequence of tho Commis sions failure to establish a second-class rato and a thousand milo rate. "The lucid rates are lower in some ill .stance? and higher in others, but the av erage will bo found to bo slightly higher than tho rates heretofore of force. Thc railroads will gain in income out of tho CommisHionerH lo<*al standard." Wo also quote from tho Sixth Passen ger Rulo of tho lt. H. Commission as tullowH : "Rule 0. Thero shall bono unjust dis crimination as to passenger rates in favor of or against any Individual or locality. Provided, however. That tilla rule shall not bo HO const rued ns to prevent railroad (r?mpanles from issuing commutation, excursion or thousand mile tickets as tho samo aro now issued." Have not tho Itailroud companion the samo right to issue tho thousand nillo tickots a? thoy ever bad? The statement of tho ANUKMMON INTELLIGENCER IN unfair and shows n desire to screen tho Itailroud Companies from tho odium of a petty act of spite in refusing to IHSIIO accommo dation tickets and to throw tho blame of tho sa no upon tho Railroad Commission who b ive spocially provided for tho issu ing of tho thousand milo tickots. Tho railroad companies uro opposed to tho railroad law, and arc moving heaven mid earth to crcato a sentiment in tho State looking towards its repeal. Many of the country papers havo voiced this endeavor, and among thuin not thu least in linen I hil 1H the ANDERSON INTELLIOEN I'KR." WO aro told by lt that "Tho work of tho Commission in good onough for tho railroads, but lt is very bad for tho poople," .v h 1 Ui lt la a notorious fact thnt all our railroad companies uro opposed lo tho new railroad law, and to tho tariff. ls the statement ot' ?ne INTELLIGENCER inado with tho object of misleading the public, and aiding tho anti-railroad law sentiment sought to bo ereatcd ? Wo donv tho statement of tho INTELLI GENCER that "Lust your ult cotton was shipped at an averugo weight of -loi) pounds nor bale, without regard to actual weights." For a portion of the season cotton was so shinned, tho circular to agents hoing dated riov. 22d, 1882, but then a nortton of tho crop, and a very largo portion bad benn ?ont forward. Nor do we think tho Editor of tho IN TELLIGENCER, cm substantiate this state ment.. We quote as follows: "but tho cotton shipped from this county averaged over 600poonda to tho bale, so that tho work of tho Commission ls properly shown by tho changos estimated as fol lows. " Wo do not believe the cotton shipped from Anderson County will averago 480 pounds to tho halo, ls this statement and tho calculation* basod on it, intended lo aid the antl-rallroad law sentiment ? We have not yet poon tho through ratos adopted by the Commission, nor do we believe thoy havo yot been generally mado publie. Wo supposo tho editor's railroad connection mid oillclul position aa a Director, gavo bini tho inside track in procuring railroad views and nows. 'rim INTELLIGENCER does not givo us tho now through rato in figures, und wo aro anxious to seo thom and judge for ourselves. So far wo aro well pleaded and nat i s lied with tho now local ratos of the Commission, and so would bo all in telligent business men If thoy would carefully examine tho tarid'. Many mon aro under the impression tho ratos ore higher than before who havo carelessly oxaminod tho rates, or taken tho word of othors who aro eitbor equally ignorant, or equally careless, or nro ongaged in working up tho autl-rnllroad law Bonti mont. RnoAitAWAY. Tho statement of the INTELLIGENCER as to thousand mile tickots is correct, for it ?B the failure of tho Commission to compel the selling of these tickets which has given the railroads the opportunity to withdraw them. We have not said that the railroads were right in with drawing these tickets. Ou the contrary, we think they are wrong, and ought to bo compelled to put them back on sale. The Commission has the power to make them do so, and ought to exercise it. "Broadaway" is not more fortunate in asserting that the INTELLIGENCER is helping to create an anti-railroad law sentiment, for tho statement is at vari - mice with the facts. We were, and sml are, in favor of the railroad law, and have never expressed any other senti meut, but we have criticise 1 the manner In which the kaw hos been executed. There is a very great difference between these positions, though "Broadaway" may not have discerned it. As to the manner in which cotton was shipped last year, we have no personal knowledge. The statement waa made by ns as received from several ol our mer chants. There was, we are informed, a short period during which shipments were mado at actual weights, but the bulk of the crop waa shipped on the rule averaging the bales at 450 poonda. This tras also the rule in force when the Com mission made its rate, and therefore the comparison upon this feint presented the actual changes made bj the Com mission. As to the statement that cotton shipped from Anderson averaged over COO pounds wo make the same answer. It waa made opon information, and not from personal knowledge. A closer in' quiry places the average freight per bale at from 485-600 pounds, so that it will bs seen the figures of the INTELLIGENCER were reasonably correct, and probably accurately so.. The through rates nave been made public, and any one can Inform himself apon them by going to the. depot. We Aid not obtain them until several- days after every cotton merchant in Anderson had Hiern. Thc ruten aro higher than | heretofore, regardless of "Urondaway's" opinion. We gave .sonic of the through rates last week, which were suflicicnt lo show Hie relative rates, now and hereto I fore. If we did not give tho through rule in ligures last week upon the articles compared, we do not know how to do i'. Weare simply amused at "lironda way V assertion that our utterances arc j unavoidably received as representative of j tho Clyde Syndicate. It is preposterous tli.it tho railroads should complain of their rates being raised. Those who ate : imple enough to believe "?SroaduwuyV HtatCIDCIlt can ?lo SO. I ?ur views arc only j inuvoklably rec ?ved as representative of the Clyde Syndicate hy those who have nut enough discrimination tu render their opinion of any consideration to us. Sulfite it to say, one- for all, that we ure not acquainted w ith a single nu tuber of either the Clyde or the Seney Syndi cate, and Ir.tve never bad any conference with any member of thc Syndicate, cither m.tl or in writing, and furthermore, havo ?ot conferred with th.- president "r any executive officer of thc Columbia .V Greenville Railroad since the local turill wits established, either orally or in wir ing. KIM where, we give thu v ie.. - ol some of our leading merchants, from which "llroadaway" can see how much difference there is between the INIKI.I.I liCNCKtt and the business men of Ander son un this question. If In- will read them perhaps he w ill see who the INTKI. I.I?KNCCI: "unavoi Inbly1 represents, [ll conclusion, we invite- " llroadaway," who scorns lo insinuate sinister motives lo the lNTI-:i.l.l?ICM'i:it, to give his views over his own name, in order thal the public may judge whether he is himsell free from that which he i? so needlessly reiely lu attribute fi others. Hui-?! Times in Hie Mountains. A mass meeting ol the farmers of I'ickcns County was held ut I'ickcns Courthouse on September 17. After some discussion a preamble was adopted stating t'1111 'he farmers of the county had not recovered from the crop failure of 1881; that the unprecedented drought of tho present season will reduce the crop below un average half crop, and should thc fertilizer com pun ?es, mer chants und others ?nsint upon full pay for advances made by them, that the farming interest ol' the country will he so i tn piri I led ns to affect holli thc inter?s', und prosperity of the farmers, fertilizer companies ami merchants another year. Resolutions were adopted requesting the different fertilizer companies, mer chants and others making advances to moke a reasonable reduction on all such charge?; ami asking for another year's indulgence for the payment of advances where payment cannot now be made or ii satisfactory compromiso reached. The following was also udoptrd : Whereas, the recent drought has cut short the present crops of corn in this entire county at least 40 percent, below nu average crop ; and whereas, the sup ply nf grain ?in hand together with tho growing crops, will bo barely sufficient tu supply tho actual needs of our peuple until another crop bo grown. Therefore, bo it. Rewired, by the farmers of I'ickcns County, That it would be patriotic in those of our citizens who are engaged in tho distilling of grain to discontinue th? sumo as soon as practical. An Insane lindy's Fearful l.enp. COLUMBIA, September 28.-A lament able casualty occurred nt tho lunatic asylum this morning. Miss Elizabeth Sergent, a young lady about 12? years old, i" a patient from Lancaster County nod i bas been uuder treatment for several mont li?, lier disenso is melancholia, with an inclination toward suicide, lier father called to see her about 9 o'clock this morning, lie slated, however, that if the physicians thought his presence would at?ect her mind injuriously he would return without seeing ber. inas much, however, as a former visit seemed to result in benefit to her, and she seemed desirous of seeing him, an attendant was instructed to bring Miss Seegers down to the reception room. She ex pressed n desire to bathe her fuco in warm waler, and tor this purpose the attendant took her to the pantry, u place ordinarily forbidden to patients of that CIOSH. The attendant remained until her toilet was completed, and led the way out, thinking that the young Indy waa following. Finding, on reaching the corridor, that she bad not followed, the attendant returned and discovered thai Miss Seeders lind jumped out of a win dow. This window, like all others, was firmly barred with iron, but the bars hud been removed to admit air and light to thc room. Tho young lady fell from the second-story, twenty-five feet. Her left foot had no ve ral bones fractured, and she further sustained injuries of thc pelvis, the extent of which is not yet kuown. She ia conscious to-night, and there is a chance of her recovery.-New* and ( vit rier. Tho Fay of Postmasters.

The re cord of Butler is against him. The Democratic party couldn't afford to nom inate him under any circumstances."

That seems positive. - Extract from a Chicago Idler to the Greenville Xeirs : "It looks queerly to one coming from the quiet Sundays of the South to see everything in full blast herc. Dime museums, theatres, bars and beer saloons aro c.en and all going ns hard as they can-people, going home from church yelled at hy the outside men of cheap shows reciting thc beauties of the fat woman and thc splendors of the two beaded girl and 'ho calf with six legs in regular side show style." - John T. Rowley, a brilliant young lawyer of Chestertown, Md., who recent ly graduated with high honorant Prince ton, died in a hotel at Chestertown on Thursday. Ho had been rejected by a young lady with whom ho was deeply in love, on account of dissipated habits, and resumed drinking which he had stopped in tho hope of winning her. Ho left thia note : "To tho Coroner-Conun drum : What caused the death of Row ley-whiskey, laudanum or love? I give it up, and leavo it tn the coroner." His death was attributed to mania a-potu although nn empty laudanum bottle was found in bis room. - The public school question is agi tating tho State somewhat. A small minority with many silent sympathizers come out boldly against free schools sup ported by taxation. These men gener ally bolong to tho educated class. Wo hope that the only effect cf their opposi tion will bo to stimulate Behool officers to more strenuous efforts to educate tho mass of children. Tho first duty of gov ernment is to protect the lifo and prop erty of the citizens. The second, and equally important, is to see that all tho children are taught to read and write. This raakea life decent aud respectado. There is no danger of our people getting too much book learning. The danger is in tho other direction.- (\irolina Spar tan. - The Augusta Chronicle aays : "Mr. John C. Calhoun is challenged by the Philadelphia American to specify any articles whose cost to the negroes is in creased by the tariff. Mr. Calhoun, like a good roany of his class, indulges in as sertion without proof." Tho negroes pay a tax of 55 to 90 per cent, on the calicoes they wear, ?C per cent, on the thread they sew with, GO to lOOgper cent, on glassware, 65 per cent, on salt, 50 to 70 per cent, on sugar and molasses, 78 to 100 per cent on blankets, GO to 90 per cent, on flannel. We stop there. The negroes, in consequence of the tariff, hare to work at least three days to ob tain the comforts and necessaries which, ander a tariff for revenue, they could sam In two days or less. There is no compensating benefit. The price of corn ts not raised by protection, and the Price of cotton is fixed in the European marte.
