The Executive Committee of the Dem? ocratic Party for Anderson County will meet in the office of the Intelligences on Tuesday, the fifteenth day of April, inst., at eleven o'clock a. m., for the pi" - pose of calling a County Convention to elect delegates to the State Convention, and take such other, action as may be deemed proper regarding the pending canvass. Every member of the Com? mittee is earnestly urged to be present promptly, as this will perhaps be tbe most important meeting in the campaign. The following gentlemen compose the Committee: Anderson, G. F. Tolly; Belton, M. P. Tribble; Broadaway, S. N. Pearman ; Anderson Young Mens* Club, P. K. McCully; Brushy Creek, J. D.

He has developed remarkable strength for a man who is not a candi? date, and things now seem to point strongly to his nomination. He is a rep? resentative of the Garfield sentiment of the party, and is to-day the strongest man in tbe Union with the masses of the Republican party. His nomination iin the first Chicago Convention is not at s 11 improbable. The old ticket of Tilden and HendricltB continues to gain strength" before the country. The boom for it is on the in? crease, and will be immense by tbe time of the meeting of the Democratic Con? vention in Chicago. In fact, we believe that nothing short of Mr. Tilden's dea .h can prevent his nomination when the Convention meets. If nominated under such circumstances, he cannot refuse to serve, and his election would be as sure as things in the future ever are in poli? tics._ The Orangeburg Times and Demociat says: "Abraham Martin, colored, who sold out here about a year ago and end grated to Arkansas, returned home on last Monday night. He in fully satisfied with his experience, and expresses him? self as being glad to get back to South Carolina. Arkansas, be says, does not flow with milk and honey as represented by interested railroad agents and land speculators." The colored people who are so crazy to go to this new country had better know something about it L e - fore they start. When they get there it will be impossible for many of them to get back, and it will then be too late to realize their mistake. They will be wise . to stay where they are until they hear from those who have already gone there. The County Republican Convention in Abbeville on last Saturday was quite an animated affair. Guffin came up from Charleston, where he holds an office in the Customhouse, to work for an Arthur delegation to Columbia. The Local sen? timent, however, was too strong for him, and he was badly defeated, a delegation of advocates for Blaine's nomination being selected. In the confusion of t be adjournment, a difficulty arose in which Guffin received a bad bruise upon his head, but accounts indicate that it is not known who did it. At any n.te Guffin was defeated and then beaten, so that he went back to Charleston a wiser, if not a better man. He learned the lesson that merely because he was an office-holder he could not control the negroes of his County, by teaching him which the Republicans of Abbeville have shown a little independence. CAROLINA FACTORY GIRLS. The Augusta correspondent of the At? lanta Constitution writing about the recent Convention of Cotton Spinners, which met in that city, gives the following items' concerning Col. H. P. Hammett, of the Piedmont Manufacturing Compa? ny, who was one of the members of the Convention: "Carolina girls are the best cotton fac? tory operatives in the world," said Colo? nel Hammett, of the Piedmont mi Is. "It is very seldom you find a yankee girl working iu the mills. All through New England you will find that the help is Irish, German, or French-Canadian, but our Carolina girls are not afraid to work, and the first thing which strikes the at? tention of visiting business friends from the North is the superior appearance of my operatives. Tall, shapely, with well poised heads and faces which would do for moulds of beauty, they are as ls.dy like at the hearth stone as they are profi? cient at tbe loom. The? are all under the salutary influence of home and church relationship, and are a class of whom any nation should be proud." It is evident that Colonel Hammett is in love with all his girls?that is in a fath- j erly sort cf a way. Some years ago Col? onel Hammett was President of the Greenville and Columbia* road. One Sunday morning he went into the hotel in Greenville, aud beheld a young lady in an agony of tears. He was told that she had just received a telegram announcing the fatal illness of her father, and call? ing her home at once. As it was against the laws of South Carolina for railroad companies to do business on Sunday, tbe youug lady had no means of reaching her father that day. The story touched Mr. Hammett's heart, and he at once had an engine and coaoh prepared and sent the weeping daughter to her fath? er's bedside. Subsequently the father recovered but the daughter died. The young lady was a first cousin to State Treasurer Speer, of Georgia. ? Four million three hundred and forty thousand boxes of "sardines" were packed in Lubec, Me., last year. BAD MEMORIES. The Columbia Register says: "It is stated that letters are being con? stantly received at the office of the Sec? retary of State asking for copies of Acts which do not exist. Many members of the last Legislature seem to bo under the impression that bills were passed which had only been read three times in one house. In Charleston a large sum of money has been misapplied under the belief that a certain bill had become an Act, whereas it had not. The Anderson Fire Department bill did not become law, yet the Anderson folks thought it had. Well, it may do to send the old members back :o work through the bills which hfdted on their legislative journey." The bill to provide for an efficient Fire Department in the city of Anderson was introduced in the House by Mr. Murray, and passed that body. It was read the first time in the Senate on the 18th of December, referred to the Com? mittee on Incorporations, and was never reported to the Senate. Six days after? wards, on the 24th of December, the Leg? islature adjourned. It had plenty of time to get through, but in the rush of business incident to a short session was overlooked in the Senate. Its failure to pass will defer the complete organization of the department one year, but the City Council will make some progress by providing the engine and a few cis? terns out of the annual City tax levy. The people of Greenville have been taking a keen interest in railroad mat? ters since the war, and much of the pro? gress and prosperity of their city has been derived from their enterprise, and I sagacity in securing the Air Line Hail road. They have now about secured the completion of a connection with the Georgia Central Road over the line of the Greenville & Laurens road which is being rapidly constructed. In addition to this, they are enthusiastic over a new line proposed over the mountains. This has been thought impracticable hereto? fore, but our plucky neighbors have em? ployed Capt. Kirk to survey a line across the Blue Ridge, and the Greenville News gives the following as the result of the trial line: "The engineer reported that he bad found a practicable and easy route through Langford's Gap, the worst grade of which will be 70 feet to the mile. His whole report was very en? couraging, and showed that a road can be built with comparative cheapness and rapidity which will be admirably adap? ted for heavy freight traffic. There was some discussion about various plans and routes, and it was at last decided lo in? struct Capt. Kirk to go ahead with his trial lines and find the easiest way in the mountain division, the general sentiment being that there will be no difficulty at all in finding a route after the bottoms are reached. Under these instructions Capt. Kirk will go ahead. He can not tell yet when he will be ready to report on the best way down the mountains, but it will probably be within the next six weeks." If as favorable a line down the mountain as that up can be found, it is by no means improbable that Greenville may yet get a railroad over the moun? tains. Other communities which are hesitating about pushing forward the building of railroads would do well to profit by the success which has attended Greenville's enterprise, and hasten the completion of their contemplated rail? road lines. The Slate Democratic Executive Com? mittee has issued a call for the State Convention to meet on Thursday, the 26th day of June next, at twelve o'clock m., for the purpose of electing delegates to the National Democratic Convention, nominating a State ticket, electing a State Executive Committee, nominating Presidential Electors, and transacting such other business as may come before the Convention. As was to be expected, this action has been viewed differently by different papers in the State, some of them severely criticising the Committee for its action as an unheard of thing, and an effort to secure the renomination of ] the present State ticket. In this, our brethren of the press do the Committee an injustice, and show that their memo? ries are quite defective, for not longer ago than 1832 there was but one Con? vention, which met in June and nomina? ted Governor Hagood, and the balance of the State ticket, elected delegates to Cincinnati, adopted a platform, nomiua ied Presidential Electors, elected a State Executive Committee and adjourned sine die before the meeting of the National Democratic Convention, which nominated Hancock and English. In that year the Committee did not call the Convention to nominate a State ticket, but there was strong opposition to Gov. Hagood, and yet the Convention nomi? nated the ticket. This produced great dissat-'sfaction, because mauy contended that the people did not expect a State ticket to be nominated, and an advantage bad therefore been taken by the nomina? tion. To avoid such a state of things cow, the Committee has called a Con? vention explicitly with full powers. If the Convention does not wish to nomi? nate, it can decide not to do so, but the whole question is submitted to the peo? ple. Instead of trying to take an advan? tage of the people, the Executive Com? mittee has called attention to the powers of the Convention, and the people can decide any or all of the questions as they please when they elect their delegates. The action of the Committee insures an expression of the people on this matter. If they want two Conventions they can have them, and if they only want one, they will elect delegates to carry out their wishes in all these matters. ? The Rock Hill Herald says: "On Tuesday evening of last week, as Mr. George Sledge, the engineer of the North bouud passenger train on the Chester and Lenoir Railroad, was running between Lowrysville and McConnellsville he saw the cyclone rapidly approaching his train. He immediately pulled the throt? tle of his engine wide open and a race began. The black funnel-shaped cloud is said to have kept within about fifty feet of the hindmost coach for a consid? erable distance. There was intense ex? citement on board the flying train as the murky monster, rolling, pitching, seeth? ing, boiling, spread destruction in full view of the passengers. Finally a sharp curve in the road threw the train out of the cyclone's path, and in this way a wreck was averted. ? This season the pack of houncB owned by Sheriff Riley and Majoiy Brown in Barnwell County have caught sixty odd foxes. To The People of Sonth Carolina. department of agriculture, Columbia, S. C, April, 1884. The World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition, to be held in New Orleaus, beginning December, 1S84, un? der the joint auspices of the United States, the National Cotton Planter's Association and the city of New Orleans, will be an event of the greatest conse? quence and of vital interest to every Southern State. All tbe civilized nations ofi the world have been asked to partici? pate iu this Exposition, and many of then? have already accepted the invita? tion and have given notice that they would make exhibition of their products and representation of their industries. All the States of the Union will be fully represented. As this Exposition will be held in the chief city of the Cotton States, the world will naturally expect that these States will make the most com? plete exhibits of all their manufactured, mineral and agricultural products, and lull displays of all their resources. In fact, capitalists, realizing the benefits to come to the South from this Exposition, and knowing that all of the prosperous and progressive Stales will endeavor to make the best showing, will attend the Exposition to obtain information that could not possibly be gotten elsewhere. We feel that it is unnecessary to dwell upon the importance of this matter. Our State Legislature at its last session, after full investigation, and appreciating the benefits to be derived from having South Carolina properly represented, appropri? ated ?10,000 for the purpose, to be expen? ded under the direction of the Depart ment of Agriculture. As this is the Centennial celebration of the first exportation of cotton from America, it is the peculiar province of South Carolina to occupy the most conspicuous place in tbe pic? ture, as the first cotton exported was sent from Charleston. We have good reason to believe that the cotton gin was invented in South Carolina, and we are now about to give to tbe world the first and only successful cotton picker. These, however, are sentimental reasons and appeal only to our State pride; but the practical reasous are even more forcible, from a business point of view, than those already given are from a sentimental, one. Tbe South needs capital and immigra? tion. This all will admit. How is she to obtain these? Just as everything else is made successful?by judicious advertis? ing. What better advertisement can we get than tbe exhibition to those who control capital and those who desire to purchase homes of the splendid products of the soil, specimens of our minerals and samples of our manufactured goods. In no way can tbe advantages of the South be better shown than by such evidences as such an exhibition would furnish. And what is true of the South generally is emphatically true of South Carolina. We waut to build railroads and increase our transportation facilities; we want to erect more cotton factories, build woolen mills and establish all tbe smaller manufacturing industries; we want our mines of gold, silver, copper, iron, &e, developed ; we want our waste lands brought into cultivation, and we want to increase our population. All of this can be doue only by proper, syste? matic, determined and continued effort. Tbe recent publications showing the wonderful manufacturing and agricultu? ral progress of the State have attracted the attention of business meu in every direction, aud already men of means have been here prospecting for solid in? vestments, and inquiries for information are coming from every section of the Union. The good impression thus made should be followed up promptly and vig? orously, and we now have the opportuni? ty to do so successfully. The amount appropriated by the Leg? islature for making tbe exhibition is in? adequate for the purpose unless we can obtain the voluntary assistance of the people throughout the State. This we feel sure we will receive, and now con? fidently appeal to them for their aid and encouragement. In addition to the help that may be employed, representatives of the Depart? ment will be appointed in every Town? ship in the State, who will constitute a Commission for the State, and who will be requested to see that local organiza? tions are perfected; and it is desired that these organizations will see to it that all the resources of their Townships are made fully known. This appeal, how? ever, is addressed to the people generally, who are urged to take this mailer in hand without delay, and communicate with the Commissioner of Agriculture promptly, freely and frequently. The railroad companies have generously offered to transport free to Columbia all articles intended for exhibition. The cotton manufacturers have promised specimens of all their goods without charge, and.some have offered to contrib? ute to the expense of making tbe ex? hibit; and tbe press of the State, with characteristic public spirit, is giving us tbe benefit of its vast influence. It only remains, therefore, for the people to do their part, and South Carolina will make, as we have promised she shall do, "tbe best exhibit on the grounds." Any information that may be desired regarding the matter will be cheerfully furnished by the Commissioner of Agri? culture. Very respectfully, A. P. Butler, Commissioner of Agriculture. Speedy Retribution. Bock Hill, S. O, April L?This afternoon about 1 o'clock a colored boy named Frank Elliot outraged the little six-year-old daughter of Mr. W. A. Fre well, a farmer living three miles North? west of this placw, inflicting severe inju? ries. A fewminutes after the commis? sion of the horrible crime the child ran from the barn where the brute had en? ticed her and in agonizing words told the parents iu her innocent way what had happeued. The child was cared for aud an immediate search was made for Elli? ott by the father of the little girl. He was captured and brought to this place by Mr. Frewell, the father, who at once turucd the fiend over to Constable T. 0. Beckham The negro was taken into Trial Justice Frewell's office and at ouce made a free and full confession, acknowl? edging the deed aud giving a description of its accomplishment. The revolting details of the horrible crime soon spread over the town and in a short time the entire population became greatly enrag? ed and excited. Crowds gathered on the streets and it at once became evident that Frank Elliott had not long to live. The officers fearing that harm would befall the negro began to make preparations for protecting hira. About half-past 6 o'clock the officers started with Elliott to the guard house, but as they reached the door an excited crowd overpowered the guards and took possession of the negro. They surrounded him and pur? sued him off to a grove on the outskirts of town, where he was huug to a tree just as the sun set. At this writing the body still swings to the limb, bearing the following emphat? ic playcard : '"Our daughters we will protect."?Special to the Columbia Regis? ter. ? It is said that tbe chestnut is fast becoming a thing of the past, and a medical authority claims that its disap? pearance is a fixed process of evolutiou. It says: "The chestnut tree is going, just as all trees of a spongy inferior fibre must go, before such stout close fibred trees as the oak. In pre-historic times the earth was covered with a rank, quick growth that yielded, as tbe ages went on, to the compacter and stouter trees. It is in tbe operation of the same law that l the chestnut is doomed." A Triple Hanging- for a Hay Day. GbeEXVILLB, S. 0., April 1.?Alfred aud James McCol lough, who were con? victed on Saturday of the murder of Ephraim Saxon on the 10th of February last, were sentenced by .Judge Hudson to be hanged on the Kith of .May. Riley Anderson, for the murder of Lou Griffith and her infant, was sentenced also to be hanged on the same day. He was convicted and sentenced to be hang? ed at the March term, 1883. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court in his case and dismissed and he was remanded back to he resentenced at this term of Court. His crime was a most cruel and coldblooded deed and several attempts were made to lynch him, in consequence of which Sheriff Gilreath had to remove him to the Anderson jail and once to Abbeville. Warning to the South, Washington, April 1.?Chief Crooks, of the secret service division of the treas? ury department, said to your correspon? dent to day that a systematic distribu? tion of counterfeit silver certificates would shortly be attempted in the South. Manufacturers of the counterfeit $20 certificates had already prepared about ?300,000 worth of the stuff and arrests had been made by the secret service agents at Memphis, Tennessee, and New? port and Louisville, Kentucky. It would be safe, he said, for persons to refuse to I take certificates numbered either B 1467 i X or B 1487 415 X, as these were the only two sets of numbers used by the counterfeiters. On the back of the note in the upper left hand corner the word "Certificate" was placed in a panel, and here too a defect was noticeable after "Cer " the other letters were reversed and in the penalty clause on the back "taxes" are spelt "taras." The general appear? ance of the certificate, however, is such as to prove very deceptive even to ex? perts, and great care should be exercised in handling those of the $20 denomina? tion. The South offers a good field for counterfeiters' operations, and the atten? tion of its citizens has been frequently invited to this fact. All the colored military organizations here turned out to-night to receive Rep? resentative Smalls and there was quite a large demonstration. The colored peo? ple have been untiring in their efforts fir several days to raise funds to do Smalls honor. Representative Smalls is an honorary member of the Capital City Guards of Washington, and this organi? zation was the prime mover in the de? monstration.?News and Courier. ticn. Grant's Sympathy. New York, April 4.?Gen. Gordon has received the following letter from Gen. Grant, having reference to the movement to build a home for disabled ex-Confederate soldiers: "Washington, D. C, April 3.?Gen. J. B. Gordon, Chairman Central Com? mittee, &c.: Dear Sir?Your letter of March 31, informing me that I had been choosen to preside at a meeting of differ ent Posts of the Grand Army of the Re? public and ex-Confederates in the city of New York on the 9th inst.,- was duly received. The object of the meeting is to inaugurate under the auspices of the soldiers of both armies a movement to procure a fund to build a home for dis? abled Confederate soldiers. I am in hearty sympathy with the movement, and would be glad to accept the position of presiding officer, if I was able to do so. You may rely on me, however, for rendering all the aid I can iu carrying out the designs of the meeting. I am here under treatment for the injury I received on Chrisitnan Eve last and will not be able to leave here until later than the 9th inst., and I cannot tell now how soon or when I will probably be able to go. I have received this morning your dis? patch of last evening urging that I mutt be there to preside, but 1 have to respond that it will be impossible for me to be there on the 9th, and I cannot now fix a day when I could certainly be present. Hoping your meeting will iusure success, and promising my support financially and otherwise lo the movement, I am, very truly yours, U. S. Grant. The FJamcs in the Forests. Raleigh, N. C, April 4.?For three days aud nights the most destructive fire ever known in this section has been de? vastating the Southern border of the State, extending in six or seven Coun? ties. Vast forests of long leaf pine have been attacked. They formed the chief tiource of the timber supply. The high winds fanned the flames iuto fury, and hundreds of thousands ot trees were burned, and some of the largest turpen? tine orchards in the State have been ruined. Many farm houses have been destroyed. The people have been brave? ly fighting the fire. A number of towns narrowly escaped destruction. At Meu ly, on the Raleigh and Augusta Railway a number of houses were burned. Large atores of lumber Bills on the line of road were also destroyed and a dozen turpen? tine distilleries are ruined. The coun? try in great stretches is but a blackened wilderness. The extent of the disaster :is not yet k?own. Many families are homeless. The fire has swept here and there some fifty miles iu one direction and thirty in another. Few plaees, it is reported, escaped. The fires were caused by burning brush. The fires extended far into South Carolina. Ou the line of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad the trains have been running through miles of fire. Two dwellings and eight or ten barns have been burned in that district. So far as known no lives have been lost. ? Alfred Chadwick yoked his wife to a plough with a steer, for which Judge Jennisou, of Detroit, gave her a divorce. He insisted that he only followed the general usage among the market garden? ers of Western Canada. ? A little child five or six years old, daughter of Stafford Grant, colored, of Seneca City, caught fire ou last Sunday and was burned to death. As soon as its clothes caught fire it ran from the house and kept running until it dropped dead. ? Mr. John Marjenhoff, of Aikcn, ex? hibited lo the Journal and Ilccicw, ou April 2d, a basket of Irish potatoes, averaging about the size of small apples, which he had dug that day from his gar? den. The potatoes were planted in Octo? ber last, the ground being sown over in rye. It would appear that the rye pro? tected the potatoes from being killed by the severe weather during the Winter. ? A bill has passed both Houses of the New York Legislatuie and received the signature of the Governor requiring instruction in physiology and hygiene, with special reference to the effects of alcoholic drinks, stimulants and narcot? ics upon the human system, to be given in all schools supported by public money or under State control. ? The Blaine boom began at a very fortunate time for that gentleman, just as the delegates to the National Conven? tion were to be selected. His own State is, of course, certain at all times. He will, from present indications get a part of all New England, nearly all of New Jersey, about all of Pennsylvania, a part of all of Ohio, some of Indiana, all of Nebraska, the bulk of Kansas, Oregon, California and Nevada solid, and scatter? ing votes in all parts. These facts show how formidable Mr. Blaine is. If not nominated himself ho will name the man who will be. ? "How can a woman tell?" asked a romancer. She can't help telling. "Koii{j'? on CougliB."
