We hope all ol our citir-cns will altead the meeting in Anderson on Wednesday night. It will be the only chanco they will have to see and hear the candidates before the primary election. We are requested to announce that there will be a meeting of the citizens of Ceoterville Township at 3 o'clock, this (Thursday) afternoon, at Hunters Spring, to hear the candidates before the Prima ry election. Every citizen of the vicini ty is urged to be present, and ali of ibo candidates are invited to address the meeting. The Democratic and Greeuhnck State centr/d committees of Iowa have held a Bocret session and decided to mako a fusion on the electoral ticket, tho Green backers tak:o?? six and the Democrats seven of tho candidates for electors. This action of tho Democrats of Iowa deserves defeat for them. Thero is ;io principle in combining with tho advo cates of Butlerism in order to divide a State vote in the electoral college. For tunately these fusions will not occur in any State in which the Domocrata have any chance of victory?. Tho Newberry Observer, of last week, says: The Observer extends hearty congratu lations to the Anderson INTELLIGENCER and the Laurens Herald on recent nomi nations. The Gluer vcr'o gratification as to recent nominations does not disturb us in the least, nor are we surprised at its manifes tation. We can, however, accept those congratulations without any pique, for the nomination with which we were connected resulted in the selection of a candidate who will give us an honest and industrious representative. The public interests have not suffered, and the INTELLIGENCER is satisfied with the result. We hope everybody else Is, and that concern and harmony may reigD once more. A dispatch from Augusta, Maine, says: The Kenuebec Journal to sorrow will say : "Much feeling bas been excited in this community by an event of extraor dinary character. Io the-well known cemetery lot of the Stanwood family an infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Blaine lies buried. The child died in July, 1854, . and its resting place is marked by a beautiful memorial of marble, erected in 1865. on which the dates of birth and death were plainly inscribed in raised letters. About two weeks ago it was discovered that tha date of the child's birth had been carefully chiselled away. It was quickly discovered and an inti mate friend of the Blaine family placed nrdetective on the track of the perpetra tor who has hot yet been discovered, but ?it is believed a clue bas been fouud in. the fact' that directly after the mutilation . of the memorial a person whose name is known had copies of the alleged record 'sent to newspapers in various parts of | the country antagonistic to Blaine. The motive for this act cf vandalism is scarce ly apparent. There is great indignation among all classes of people over the sacril igloos act." This desecration cannot be charged to political motives, for it is an act of van dalism which could not possibly benefit any opposing party to Mr. Blaine. In view of the scandal recently published against Mr. Blaine it ia unfortunate that the date referred to should have been Ciisejed away, for it might be of impor tance to him to have the date authenti cated by the monnaient. It could not be of any value to his political opponents to erase the date, While It might ba desirable for Mr. Blaine to hs?e it suppressed. It will not; therefore, do for Mr. Blaine to pose as a persecuted mas io thia way, lor lt Is hot in the line of haman action for bis political enemies to have Indulged In such a' dastardly action. It ls more . probable that some party friend bas done it to arouse a sympathy for Mr. Blaine, or for some other purpose. -:- ' . mm, , ' . Littio by Hub tho fearful sufferings of | the Greely exploring party are coming to light, and shocking esposares of want hud the horrible consequences are coming to light. One of the party, however, private Henty, waa shot by order of| Lieutenant Greely for. stealing the pro visions of tho patty, to which act he waa doubtless driven by the dire promptings of hunger. It was, ' however, necessary lor the preservation of ibo 'party that oyeryresource should be husbanded, and therefore'.any ra?n who prevented this economy waa a publie enemy, and his death ". tinder tho circumstances waa a necessity. The saddest part of the tale, . however, br tho fact that the suivivora of this fa'-?d party are conelurfvely proven to hare -been"guilty of cannibalises aa a meabaof eubalalleg during their terri ble experience, ?pd as their ?rapa^loea tiled the flees waa taken ?rmn their Umba .arid bodies for the living to ata?cU?? Hfo upon. There la nothtag to show that ' thero vf ai? any foul pity in tho pariy, bot tho: rovoHhtg fact retnainVthat Wvo osen ?eot tvut by our Governt the interest of?clenco Wero forc*d dire estroKiiiiea of ?omLshsd asia*? ve upon the flesH of thai*; d??d friends aud companions. It must bave been a fearful experience. Living far beyond tbe haunts of men, with no ade quate means of sustaining life, yet bop ing to bo rescuod, they saw dsys and weeks and weary months pass by with no appearance of rescue, and no means of supplying their scanty allowance of provisions as they were being gradually consumed. Tho end began to draw near, and death from starvation began lo re duce tho party. Frugal of every possi bility life, tho very corpses of their dead companions were sparingly dealt out to the survivors, who lived on and thought of home, boping for rescue, sud yet knowing not which one must die next to alford the means of life to tho little party which was struggling bravely, yet to all appearances, hopelessly io survive until some human help might reach them. The life was but a living death in which the greatest agony was the living. The extremities of these men are revolt ing in tbe extnmo, and yet who can censure? The pity and sympathy of all people goes out to tho fated men who have been called on to sacrifico so much to the ends of science. From these facts we are driven to inquire what benefit has all this been" It is no doubt gratifying io scientists to get additional particulars of tho frozen North, and is a aourco of pride to tho intrepid commander who can show the flag, as Oreoly did recently, which liss been further North than any other flag, but all this empty show does not compensate for tho waste of life and treasure which is involved in an Arctic expedition. The cn nv ns s before tho primary elec tion in Anderson County is about over, and in our opinion has been conducted entirely upon settled issues, to the exclu dion of more valuable topics of discussion before the people. We do not mean to take sides between tho candidates person .d'y in thia or any article which bas ap peared in the INTELLIGENCES, for we have friends in the race who take di?crcut views of tho University and Canal ap propriation. Tbe influence of tho INTEL? LIOENCEB has been used to prevent tho canvass from being taken up with tbeso issues, but tho candidates have seen fit largely to confine themselves to them. We hope, however, that tho voters of tho County will not be controlled by the views of any man on these mattem, but 1 select the four brat mon who aro named for the position. It muatbe remembered that the men who represent Anderson County will have to vote on-all questions ?lint come before the legislature. They mi "lu vote to suit the people on tbe 7 ,'eraity and tho Canal, but at the ss.tr ot imo voto couti cry to tho wishes of tho County on all other important mat? tera. Thc sr are tbo questions that have been discussed. No one knows, however, now they would vote upon a bill to pun ish tho violation of agricultural contracts, ur a bill to c?mplete tbe State Uouao, or to refund the State debt, or to improve our mothods of collecting taxes and assessing property, or to improve our road law, or to put County convicts to work upon our roads and Btreeto, or to provide a system by which our taxes could be collected in the Fall, thereby saving the Ave per cent penalty and the trouble of the Spring collection, or to employ the convict labor of the otate to develope our material resources by work? ing upon public enterprises, instead of enriching private persons by hiring them to individuals to compete with honest labor, or upon propositions to raise the salaries of our public officers, or to enact a prohibition law, or to repeal the rail road law, or any other matter of equal importance. Our people, therefore, must see that it is folly to elect any man because he will vote yes or no upon any two measures. Our interests are too great to be thus staked on single ques tions. The interests of our CVmty de mand that we send the men who will best represent us on all questions, and it is dwarfing tho issue to endeavor to make it turn on one or two measures-particu larly to let it rest on two measures which are definitely settled and cannot be al tered, no matter bow our delegates vote. Our people, we are sure, will not commit such a mistake aa to elect men simply on these issues, but will select the four men who can best represent them on all questions. Snob Representatives should he honest, intelligent, progressive men. Wo believe any of the candidates before the people will make faithful Repreaen tatives. Out ouly desire is that tho se lection shall be made on the merits of the men atfd not on any views that they may have upon two settled issues. A ORKEN BACKER TAMM. Tbc Pickens Sentinel, of lost week, taya: "Mr. W. W. Russell, the greenback leader in this section of the State, waa In town last Monday. In a conversation with us he stated that he was for Blaine, for President, and in favor of the protec tion policy of the Republican party. He expressed satisfaction at the nomination of Col. Aiken for Congress from - this District, and said he had written him a letter of congratulation, in which he ?romtsed him ois support in the election, fe said they would nominate no candi date in opposition to Aiken, nor to any of Ute other Democratic candidates for Congress in the State, except in the 5th District, where a caudidate would bo put in opposition to Hemphlll, but who the man would be ho did not at thia time know, but ho was certain it would not bo Dash. Be informed os, however, that he had never registered, and consequently, could not vote for anyone. So Blaine will be abort one vote, at least, io South Carolina, on account of the registration law.? 'Thia would put Mr. Ruwcll in thc Republican party, for as a G reen backer ho would have to support Gen. Butler. Two yean ago we pointed ont the fact that all independent movements in the Sooth tended to tho Republican party, and here we have the proof of it. We take tUoJiberty, however, of cay ing that KO have no idea that Mr. RUMO!I ia going into the Republican party. Ho made a grave mistake In 1S82 by going into Ute Greenback' movement, and ls reluctant to admit it so soon, but ho dosa not legitl? |?Bte!y betong to the Republicana. Re ought to join nts old D?mocratie Club and get. back to first principles. After ho thinks ?he present canvass over care fully, we b aye no doub 11 h at be will favor ibo Democratic nominees io both Nation?; ni and State politics. This is a good time for bim to correct "bb former error., atad wo do cot believc that ho will so far lose i?? j?Q commit a ?Mil greater error) now. Even the better class of indepen dent Republicana are supporting Cleve land instead of Blaine, and it ia an op* portune time for all of our citizeos who went with th? Greenback parly two yea? ago to come back lo us now. A Charleston Lady Cites lier Life lo Save a Drowning Child. A tragic occurrence at Sullivan's I.iland yesterday afternoon illustrates anew the heroism and sclfaacriiice of which woman is capable. Between 2 and 3 o'clock in thc after noon a number of children went in bathing in front of Dr. Kinloch's house on Sullivan's Island. The spot has always been considered a dangerous one, and it is said that several persons have been drowned near the place. Miss Ella Benjamin, a resident of Charleston, who was boatditife, ut Mrs. Walker's house, went in to bathe with the children. Julian Reid, a little son of Mr. Lough ton lt. Reid, waa among the children who were bathing.and the little fellowgot beyond his depth and was in imminent danger of lofting his life. Miss Benja min at once saw the peri), and beii:g a good swimmer we?t lo his rescue. She reached the drowning child, caught him tn her arms and held him above the waves for nearly fifteen minutes until a boat in which wero two colored men came up. The little boy was rescued hy the col ored men, who also made au attempt to rescue Miss Benjamin. The prolonged efforts to save the life of the child, how ever, had evidently exhausted her strength. She kept afloat until the little boy was safe, and thon sank. Every efTort was made to recover her body, but it was fully twenty minutes after the drowning wh n the search was successful. At the ezpirk.ion of thal limo Miss Ben jamin's boy floated to the surface and was taken ashore. The body of the lady will be brought to the city to day for in terment. The information given above was ob* fained from a gentleman who reached tho city on tho y-30 p. m. trip of tho Sappho from Ike Island last night. Tho distressing occurrence has cast a gloom over the island, which is not lessened by the thought that, in Miss Benjamin, one moro woman has immortalized herself, and so added yet another bright page to tho history o? woman's love and devo tion.-News and Courier. The Black Matriel. In regard to tho policy of running a Democratic candidate for Congress against SmallH in the Black District, which policy it remarks is advocated by the Palmetto Post and Kershaw Gazette, and is reported to have been favored by the general sentiment of the State Exec utive Committee at its meeting held in July, tho Georgetown Enquirer says : "If the people of the various counties composing tho Black District are oppos ed to the nomination of a Democratic candidate for Congress, we do not think the committee bas any right to orce them into the fight. We are inclined to think that tho vaat preponderance of opinion in thia District is hostile to such a course. An estimate of the voting population of tho Seventh District on the basis of ono voter to four ard a half inhabitants places the white voto at 7,000 and tho colored vote at 31,000. In the face of auch tremendous odds as these it is folly to ?peak of carrying the district for the Democracy by any legitimate moana. If the plan cannot be shown to oder a reasonable prospect of success it would be worse than useless to involve our people in the expense and trouble which auch a cooteat necessarily implies. When the State was rediatricted in 1882 it was universally conceded, as the name of tho district implies, that it would al waya be an impregnable Republican stronghold. Nothing bas occurred since that time to change the situation." The Enquirer adds that thc Sumter Watchman and Southron takes the same view of the matter, and that tho Berkeley Gazette, while occupying practically the same ground, suggests that the Democrats should give their support to the most respectante colored candidate, being satisfied that such men as S. J. Leo, Tom Hamilton and Bruce II. Williams could bria;; out the entire white vote of the district. Hormon Massacre. NASHVILLE, TENN., August 14.-A dispatch from Ceuterville confirms the mulder of the Mormons in Lewis county by masked men last Sunday morning. The raiding party numbered about forty. Thirteen attacked the house of Martin Condor, where a Mormon meeting was iu progress. Forcing the door, they were encountered by Condor armed with a gun. In an effort to disarm bim one of the raiders was struck with the gun unmask ing him, but be drew bis pistol and shot Conder in the bowels. Condor was shot again by ono of the party, with buckshot and instantly killed. At the same time another of tue attacking party fired upon a Mormon elder named Gibbs, who waa partly hidden behind the wife of Condor, killing Gibba aud severely wounding Mrs. Condor in tbe thigh. The party fired again upon a Mormon elder named ! Berry, who was biding behind a bed. killing bim instantly. Another Mormon elder Tn the house, who ran out by the back door, was pursued by the atiackiug Carty stationed outside. They fired ou im as he ran, but it is not known whether or not he wau killed. After killing Berry, the masked men started out ot the house, and just aa they got out, J. R. Hudson fired and killed Dave Hin son, on? of the masked men. One of the Hinc?n party stood over, the body , and fired two loans of bucksbot at Hud son, literally, riddling bim. Tho Mor mons, in fear of another attack, did not make a> ttcaroh until Monday, when they found th? Mormon who ran away from Condor'? dead. It is rumored that the other mifwing elder baa been found dead. The Mormon elders claim they have been sent hero direct from Utah to make con vert? and establish churches. - The largest cotton plantation in Al abama is said to be that of Messrs. Bobette ? Salter, near Union ?oringo. These two yoong men have In the last four years cleared over 800 acres of land and dug 25 miles of ditches.. Work on. the planation is regulated with military precision, and the "banda" go to and return from labor at the sound of a bell. The small army of laborers and their families on the farm, numbering some 800 souls, are comfortably boused and are apparently very contented. Each family bas its garden apart and raises pigs, chickens, ac. Although cotton is the principal crop, a large amount, of corn is raised for food. Actual experi ment shows that thia crop eau be raised at a coat of 10 cents per bushel. It ia estimated that the yield thia year will be 900 balee of cotton and 95,000 bushels of corn, the former worth $-10,500 and the' ?latter 321,260-total #91,760. Tho cost of making these crops is put at $28,000, which leave? a profit of $38,760. The number of regular laborers employed ls 892, and there are 159 mules and horses and 65 farm wagons. - Professor Austin Phelps, D.

A gentleman in New York City has received the following letter from Gov. Cleveland's private sacretary, in answer to one written on Saturday deprecating private slander as a political means, and notifying tho Governor of threats to publish statements charging immoralities in early life upon Mr. Blaine, and ask ing his aid, in the interest of public de cency, to discountenance that kind of warfare. The threatened publication having been made at Chicago on Sunday, the receiver boH sent the letter of Co!. Lamont to tho press. It is as follows : "ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 12. DEAS Sin: In his absence from Al bany it is duo that I should say in answer to your letter that dov. Cleveland has most earnestly and persistently protested against thc publication of tho matter to which you refer. In respect to any pro position of the sort that has come to bia knowledge, he has insisted that he aud his supporters might better bo defeated than sLC'czd by uttacking the private lifo of .iic opposing candidates." - The crops in Fairfield County have been worked out in every section and are now looking well and promising. - The Virginia legislature has met in extra session, and is engaged in arrang ing defects in thc State debt and election laws. - Reports from Newberry County ars to thc effect that upland corn ia vory good, but that the bottom corn is not doing so well. - The democratic congressional con vention of the second Maryland district has adjourned after taking 2,408 ballots among three men. - Lognn and Hendricks accidentally met iu tho dining room of the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York, on Friday morning, and had a pleasant conversa tion.

The petals have developed iu regular order around the stalk, and the effect is singu lar and beautiful. They seam to have crown from the stem like common leaves, but form splendid crimson roses. - The French Government commis sion which has been making experiments similar to those of M.

Cotton is holding its fruit and looks remarkably well. Our farmers are busy gathering fodder, and prepara tions are being made to begin cotton picking in a very sh?rt time." - The Abbeville Medium sayB : "The Stock and Agricultural Association that was formed here last week is a step in tbe right direction, and we truly hopo that it will grow and prosper. A large county like Abbeville, with its 40,000 inhabi tants, needs such an association in order that abe may ebow what she is doing, a,:d in order to encourage her sturdy farmers *o renewed efforts." - The convicta in tho Kentucky penitentiary made a desperate effort to escape on Thursday, headed by a young man of good family who is a convict. He knocked down a guard with a bottle and led a ruB.i for the armory. A despe rate fight ona ted, citizens being eummon ed to aid thu guards. Several guarda were wounded and a number of the couvicts escaped before the mutiny waa quelled. - There ant now on the pension rolla 82 widows of Revolutionary soldiers, and 48 of these nomo from the Southern Statos.

Newberry Observer says : "An improvement in the foelinga of businest men bec mies more noticeable as the sesson advances. The outlook for a good fall trade was never belter. The crop news from all portions of our county u very flattering indeed. We are having neither too much nor loo little of sun shine and showers, and the crop yield promises to be the most abundant we nave bad in years." -- Governor Knott haa just pardoned a young man ont of the Kentucky peni tontiary after ten years confinement. Il seems that the unfortunate couvict wai innocent of the crime with which he wai charged, and he waa released upon thc ?tat?mente of the prosecuting witnesses After losing ten of the best years of bil life this man has practically no redress The State of Kentucky is not liable ic damages and the only remedy available is to soe the prosecuting witnesses. - Mr. Thornwell McMaster, who hai returned from a business trip to Sumter ?tates that he saw the Mason cottar picker operated in a field where then were a few open bolls, and the pieket passed by the nnopen bolls and picked the cotton from the open bolls with the judgment of a human, being.
