The County Democratic Executivo Committee met in the Court House on Saturday, the (Uh inst., and proceeded to tabulate the result of the second Prima ry Election for Anderson County. The following gentlemen were declared duly nominated for tho offices indicated ac cording to the rules of the party in this County: For Sheriff, Wm. L. Bolt. Fur School Commissioner, J. G. Clink scales. For County Commissioners, Joshua Jamison, A. O. Norris and W. J. Robins. For Treasurer, W. H. Fri erson. There being no other business beforo the Committee, at the conclusion of tho announcement of tho result of the election, tho Committee adjourned subject to the call of the Chairman. E. D. MURRAY, County Chairman. Huon M. PRINCE, Secretary. The tax asked from (bo Townships in Anderson County bas been divided into two annual installments, to be paid one half this year and one-half next year, without interest or penalty on the second payment. This will make tho burden very light, and if voled we believe our people will have the road In running order before the second payment is made. It presents a splendid opportunity which the voters of the Townships named should not miss. By voting this tax they will get cheaper freights and enhance the value of piop?rly ail aioug the line. Those who vote for the subscription to the Savannah Valley Railroad will have the satisfaction of knowiDg that > hey have performed an act which will bene fit themselves, their County and their children after them, lt will be a valua ble investment for all time to come. The burden will not be heavy, and will be discharged uext year. The benefit of the road will be great, and will be receiv ed every year for ages to come. We ought not, therefore, to be BO short sighted aa to defeat or delay this great enterprise by beiug penny WIBO and fcund foolish. Voie for the Railroad subscrip tion, and add to the prosperity of your Bsivsa, your s?ighbo?? ?nd coming gens rations. We bad presumed that the ignomini ous conclusion of the Greenback fiasco two years ago would permanently dispose of McLane, Russell, and tho other political cranks in this State. Tho un qualified "sitting down ou" which they received then was enough to have quieted the most perturbed spirits, but it seems that they were only making a beginning 'ben on their march into the Republican party, ?nd that it was to bo resumed at thb time. We have never doubted the end of the men who have affiliated with the Greenback movement in South Carolina. There has been but one of two courses for them to pursue-either to own they were wrong and come back to the Democrats, or to go directly into the Republican party. There is no mid dle ground. We had hoped that Mr. Russell would pursue the former course. We had no doubt that McLane ?nd the majority of ths party would pursue the Utter. They niturally belong to the Republicans-end to the worst elements of the Republicana-for they ?re sneak ing Republicans/who have not the man hood to profess ?heir principles, but wish to pick up the cumba which fall from the Republican party. Tho action of their Convention In Columbi? recently, shows that wc were right as to McLane ?nd hi? part of the company, but bas not verified our hopes as to Mr. Bussell. Wo yet hopo, however, that for his own sake, and the sake of those who have ? claim upon him, that he will not go Into this new movement, but will promptly decline the position of Elector, and refuse to follow the disreputable political bftod which Uley are attempting to nwociato* bim with. Tho party hes chsnged iii nome, but not its principle?. It is ? party of treason, cf strategy and apolla. IN leaders ?re in sympathy with tho Republicana. TjVfcy have no possi bility of success. The farce is a ridicu lous ono. Thc r ?rv however, doing the bidding of the Republican party, ?nd as long as the oooey holds out lb?y: will continue iii the acid. SHALL tVK VOTK KUHSCUIVTION T Thc election to bc held on next Satur day, to determine whether certain Town .ships io Anderson County will subscribe to the Savannah Valley kaiirond, is an eveul of uo little importance to the peo ple of those Townships. It is, as a gen eral rule, had policy to have taxation by popular vole for public enterprises, but the tax to be voted upon in this catre his been guarded against the evil ot ordinary votes for taxation, by providing that be fore any vote shall be taken, a majority of tire owners of real eslato in each Township shall first sign a petition for the election. The rights of property, therefore, have been amply guarded, and the question, divested of this danger, is presented to the voters of the County as a practical business question ; "Will il pay them to make th? Investment asked tosecuro thef?avntinah Valley Railroad?" In discussing this question there should be no uukiud feeling, and all should seek to reach the right conclusion. Il is a matter of business, and should be Bellied upon busiuess principles. Six townships are asked to subscribe fifieon thousand dollars. If they do so, (?en. Humphreys, the able and energetic President of the road, has the guarantee that if this is done thc road will be built and equipped it once. It is not a matter of conjecture but a matter of fact. The road will be built at once if the subscription is made. It will not be built until that sum is raised. When built, the road will save to the people of those Townships every year, more than fifteen thousand dollars in freights. The freight from Greenwood to New York on a bale of cotton is 57 cents per hundred pounds, while from Anderson it is 79 cents, or $1.10 per bale of five hundred pounds. Fertilizers from Charleston to Greenwood aro 13.00 per ton, while to Anderson they arc $4.70, or $1.75 per ton higher to Anderson. Flour from Ballimore to Greenwood is 5*2 cents, while to Anderson it is 83 cents? or 21 cents per barrel higher to Ander son. Bacon to Greenwood is 38 cents per hundred pounds, and to Anderson it is 50 cents, or 18 cents per hundred pounds higher. First-class freight?, (dry goods, &c.,) from New York to Green wood are $1.05 per hundred pounds and $1.50 to Anderson. Tho freight ou a buggy or wagon is four dollar more to Anderson lhan to Greenwood. Tho freight on u reaper is $7.00 to Anderson and only $3..r>0 to Greenwood. The City of Anderson buys 20,000 bales of colton a year, of which at leant 12,000 come from the Townships interested. Il is also safo to assume that 3,000 bales are raised io the?e Townships and boated to Augusta or sold iu Helton, ut Pendleton Factory and other points, sn lhat it ?H apparent that more than tho amount of money asked will be ?aved every year to these Townships. The saving in fertilizers would he nt leust $3,000 per year; in flour il would be at least $4,000 per year ; in bacon it would be nt least $2,000 ; in dry goods and other freights, such HS hardware, farm implemeuls, sugar, coffee, salt, corn, molasses, shoes, and similar articles, it would be at least $5,000, so that wo may reasonably expect to save in freights every year a sum nearly or quite doublo the amount we are asked to subscribe. This not to be a bonded debt, but is to be discharged in two years of taxes. It will not bo burdensome but can bo easily paid off. The road will give to our peo ple an increased prosperity. At least two new towns will be built in our Coun ty. It will give a market for u quantity of tho valuable timber in the lower part of our County. It will afford valuable crosstie contracts to numbers of our peo ple. li ej?il give employment to a con siderable number of hands on the trains, at the depots, and in keeping up ibo track. It will enhance the value of our lands. It will keep our City aid County aBpaco with Greenwood, Laurens, Green ville and Spartanburg. In our judg ment, self-interest, County pride and our regard for tho future all conspire to urge our people to vote for the subscription. We hope it will carry in every Township. We really believo it will be to the inter est of every voter in the Township** named to have the subscription voted. There is uo doubt of building the road if the subscription is made. There is no doubt that it will pay when il is built. Therefore, let us by all meaus have the subscription. A CONTENTION OF SNEAKS. ricLane Engineering* (ta "Inilrpendont Movement." COLUMBIA, September 4.-A shabby campaign sheet In Charleston recently printed the call for a Convention of the Independent party of South Carol lua to be held in Columbia on September 4, at 12 m., fer I tia purpose of making nomi nations and transacting auy other busi ness which might be deemed for the party's good. The call was signed by J. Hendrix BIcLane, chairman, and T. Barker Jones, secretary. When the call was read peo ple wondered when this Independent 5arty had been formed and on what it ased its excuse for existing. There ww DO doubt as to it? purpose, the overturn* lng of reputable government in the State ind the delivery of the State's vote to Blaine aud Logan. This morning there wa? a good deal of curiosity as to where the Convention was to be held. No hall bad been engaged ind the delegates did not make them* ?elves conspicuous. Inferences drawn from the past history if these Independent movements In South karolina led me to look for the delegates In Republican quarters. On reaching the revenue office a large section of the Independent party was indeed discovered, ind the Independent party proved to be inly the Greenback party of 1882 mach reduced in strength and character. As well as I could judge all the decent and misguided Greenbaokers had fallen away tod not one man had been added to the irganixatioo under its new name. Never having witn?*aed before an aa tembiage of South Carolina Greenback irs I bad regarded the descriptions of heir appearance as possibly exaggerated, mt I felt when I a?w to day's crowd that ho .ketches, had been written with iseeediag charity. There they were, a lozen or so of the roughest, dirtiest, most legraded looking raga muffle s I ever lOhelJ-unshaven, unkempt, without ?Uara, untouched by soap cr shame touching, infinitely seedy and superla Ively. mean In physique were most of bese representatives of au organisation rhtth dalma to represent "the best ?opie" of thc Stile. 8omo were dosing m the benches, some stretched their liri .encrusted forme over the handsome ables in the court-room, end most of bern squirted tobacco joice and loafed.

Sept ll. 188-1_0_ RED RUST PROOF OATS. ZE>TJ-:R,:E I FROM GREENWOOD, S. C., FOR 8A LE CHEAP BY W. S. LIGKXNT ?fe CO. August 21, 1884 most of last night, doubtless cutting out tbe tickets nominated to day and arranging for the Bininu campaign. They were now consulting lu the office of Mr. Samuel NV. Melton, Republican district attorney. Mr. Melton was not present. McLane when asked at noon for the names of the leading "delegate.1." present and to state the purpose of the Convention made a polite but very firm response. He said that the Convention I would bi: held privately ' somewhere ! around thc United States courthouse," i aud that no reporters or outsider? would ; be admitted. Such was the determina- I lion of the leaders, and be must refuse to give tho names of those present, and the proceedings would not bc made public except through the Charleston newspaper I of the party, and if any news were given the Democratic newspapers it must be by permission of the Convention. He would bring the matter before them. So saying Mcl.ane relumed to hin conference. No Republicans were at it, bul two bundles of what appeared to be printed documents were carried from the revenue oflice into ihe district attorney's office, where they were opened by the committee-campaign documents from tho Republican committee, very proba bly. The Convention was to have met nt noon, bul the leaden waited for the arri val of the Charleston traiu, which was expected to be freighted with the genius and obesity of T. Parker -Jones. Tho train came al 1 o'clock, but Jones did nol come. So the Convention shortly after got to work mahout him. Its meet ing w;is held in thc I oiled Slates Court room, on the topmost floor of the build ing. As well as 1 could judge not more than thirty so called delegates attended. Cuards were placed al thc doors aud all transaction* were conducted with strict secrecy. A Republican negro, I*. M. E. Thompson, known locally aa the "Little Plumbed Knight," tried tn get into the room, having a natural curiosity to wit ness the proceedings of his allies, but he was promptly put out. A few negroes, doubtless Independents, not Republicans, ?vere allowed lo enter, but no Democrats secured admission. From what was given out by members I judge that the secret session lasted un til tho adjournment of the Convention at 5.30 p. m. Some of the delegates went off on the evening trains, but the larger part congregated at a cheap hotel. To this place I wont to try and obtain information. Mc Lam- was in his room consulting with Borne ot his comrades and Beut word that be was too busy to talk. I waited two hours on him only to find that he bad left the hotel hy a sidu entrance. A group of delegates in tho hotel piaz za amused themselves by abusing ibo News and Courier and the Democratic leaden). They bad evidently been in structed not to tell a word of what was done. Those who were only ignorant, but nevertheless civil, referred all inquir ers to McLane, and those who were not only stupid but malevolent, (and they constituted a large majority of the dele gatea present,) almost went into hysterics of rage when asked what they had done, and with such dramatic force as their self-importance allowed proclaimed that tho New? and Courier couldn't get nnv thing out of them. If the two or three del?gale? spoke (be truth they were so ignoraut that they did nc? know what they bad been doing nor whom they bi>d nominated. Doubtless tbs ticket bad been fixed in advance by the executive committee and was adopted according to order. One delegate, how ever, gave the names of some of the nominees for Congress, but asked that the source of information be not reveal ed. This delegate said that they had nominated no State ticket, and 'would put up uone. It would be of no uso. It was entirely a white movement. Its purpose was to upset the Democratic Administration of the State. All the beat people wanted it upset. No active can vass was proposed, and no alliance with the Republicans was to be sought. Re publican endorsement would not be solic ited. Cleveland had no abowiDg, and there would not be a National Democrat ic Administration in a lifetime. Blaine was the man to win. Later I inc: McLane on thc street, and he gave the following as all of the work of the Convention which would be made tiublic. Presidential electora were nom nated as follows : At large, W. W. Russell, of Anderson, and C. C. Macoy, of Chester ; First District, J. T. Brown, of Summerville, Colleton County ; 2d, Wm. Durham, of Aiken ; 3d, O. J. Oreen, of Oconee ; 4th, C. C. Turner, of Spartanburg; 6th, J. L. Watson, of York ; 6th, A. H. Bowen, of Marion ; 7th, Tbos. Baakics, of Sumter. Congressional nominations were made as follows: First district, J. Hendricks McLane, of Charleston; 2d, W. H. Duncan, of Barnwell ; 3d, no nomination ; 4th, D. R. Feaster, of Fairfield ; 5th, A. 0. Johnston, of Chesterfield ; 6th, M. Kelly, of Williamsburg; 7th, no moroi natinn. "We did a great deal more," said our foung Military Governor, "but that is all that you can publish." Well, it ia not important, but it ia Interesting. The nominations ahow that the Independent party is the late Green back party with a galvanic alias. The delegates are tho O reen backe ra with some af the leaders and muoh of the decency left out. John Agnew, of Columbia, ?as conspicuous by bis absence. It is iinderstood that he has had quite enough >f kicking against the Democracy. W. W. Russell was not present. In fact the xmsplcuous delegates present end the >nly onea the public bas heard of were Bowen of Marion, Johnson of Cheraw, .wo Feaster? of Feasterville, two Prick - ?tts from Orangeburg and Jcbn Q. Buchheit of Summerville. The candidates for electors will, ii luccessful, vote fer Blaine and Logan io McLane says. It doc3 not need much penetration to liscern the fact that this movement ii mgineered by the National Republican ommittee to reduce Cleveland's chances tere. The chief hope expressed by the telega tea to-day was to turn out of pow ir "men who called themselves aristocra* y." A very dirty and hungry and ommunistio ctew this.

' . ? A WOMAN KOK PRESIDENT. I Ir Ur. A. I.II i i; v. mili Wi Itt-, a ''Letter of A I * -I'Jil II IK <.." WASHINGTON, September 4.-Mr?. Ilelva A. Lockwood, the well-known woman lawyer in this city, has been notified of her nomination for tho l'resi dency of the United States by the "Wo- j man's National Equal Rights I'arty" in California. Mr?. I^ock wood has accepted the nomination and has sent her letter of acceptance to Marietta L. Stow, president, Eliza .J. Webb, secretary, ami many others of the party. Thc following is MrH. Lockwood's lot ter : "Having been duly notified of your action in Convention assembled of August 23, 1884, in nominating me as a j candidate for the high position of Chief j Magixtrate of the united States as the choice of lim Equal Rights party, j although feeling unworthy and iucompo- ? tent to f:ll so high a place, I am con- ! strained to accept the nomination so j generously and enthusiastically tendered ; by tho only political party which really i and truly represents tho interests of our whole people, North, South, Eist and West, because I believe that willi your unanimous nod cordial support and thc ; fairness and justice of our cause wo shall nut only be able to carry tho election, : bul to guide tho Ship of State safely j into port. lu furtherance of this pur- i pose I have to say thut should it bo my i good fortuno to be elected and our party ' with ila grand platform of principles bo successful in the contemplated election, it will be my earnest effort to promote and maintain equal political privileges to every class of our citizens, irrespective of sex, color or nationality, und to make of th ir* great nnd glorious country in truth what it hat, so long been in name, 'The land of tho freo and the home of the brave.' I shall seek to insure u fair distribution of public otiices to women a* well as to men, with scrupulous regard i for civil service reform after women are duly installed in office. I am also in accord with the platform of the party in j tho desire to protect and foster Ameri- i can industries, and in my sympathy with . the workingmcu and women of tho ; country who are organized aguinat free trade for the purpose of rendering tho laboring class of our country comfortable and independent. I sympathize with the soldiers and soldiers' widows. I believe in the re enactment of the Arrears Act and the increase of pensions to widows, believing that the surplus revenues of the country cannot be better used than in clothing tho widows and educating the orphans of'our nation's defenders. I would also suggest the abolish me it of the pension office with its complicated and technical machinery which su b MU? - ti fu My illustrates bow not to do it, and reccommend in its Btead three commiss ioners, whose only duty should consist in requiring from an applicant for sn invalid pension his certificate of honora ble discharge, from the widow proof of marriage and from the mother proof of birth. I nm opposed *o monopoly in the sense of the men of the country monop olizing all of the votes and all of the offices and al the Bame time insisting upon having tho distribution of all of tho money, both public and private. It is this sort of monopoly that bas made possible large breaches of trust with Government officials, caused bank sus pensions and an epidemic cf d?falcations over the country. It bas engendered and fostered strikes. I am opposed to the wholesale monopoly of the judiciary of the country by male voters. If elect ed I shall feel it incumbent on me to appoint a reasonable number of women as district attorneys, marshals and judges of the United States Courts, and would appoint some competent woman to any vacancy that might occur on the United States Supreme Bench. I am in full sympathy with the temperance advocates of the country, especially the W. C. T. U. But I believe that woman Bufirage will have a greater tendency to abolish the liquor tranTc than prohibition wi!! to bring about womr.n suffrage, if the former is adapted ?be latter will ha the probable sequence. If elected f Bball recommend in my inaugural speech a un ?form system nf laws as far as practi cable for all of the States, aod especially for marriage, divorce and the limitation of contracts, and such regulation of the laws of descent and distribution of estates as will make the wife equal with the husband in authority and right and an equal partner in their common busi ness. "I favor an extension of our commer cial relations with foreign countries, and especially with the Central and South American States, and the re-establish ment of a \?"h court of arbitration, to which shall be referred all differences that may arise between these several States or between them and tbo United States. "My Indian policy would be, first, to have the Government pay them what it owes them, to break up their tribal rela tions, distribute to them their lands in severalty, and make them citizens amenable to the laws of the land as white and colored persons are. "While we sympathize with unhappy Ireland and deprecate oppression on one tide and lawlessness on the other, our neutral policy as a nation does not allow any public expression from our people. Due consideration will be given to the Interest of the honest, industrious home loving German. Again thanking you ladies for your expression of esteem, I think that I may safely say I fully un derstand the whole platform." Mrs. Lockwood says that her anti-mo nopoly and civil ec rv i ce policy "ia fun ny," ?nd that her Indian policy is "good sound lense." "I made a Did," abe says, "for sil voters. Irish, German, temperance, monopoliste, anti-monopolists, capitalista ind laborera. I did not know now to ;et around the Germans because I'm temperance, and so I tkiid due considera tion will be given to honest, industrious, homo-loving Gormans." Mrs. Lockwood lias a letter from a Western woman which lays she waa relcctcd for President be ?use Elizabeth Cady Stanton was "too Did," Susan B. Anthony "too much of? ipinr.ter," Mary A. Livermore "too op posed to certain olasaee," and Luck stone "too narrow." The new candi late to-night wrote a letter to her Wea tero friends asking about the Vico Pres idency lind saying that was an "import int and serious question." - Mr. Jennings, a very old h -.>? liv ing near Athena, Ga., lately had a couple if bushels of wheat of different kinda that ?he wanted to eave for seed.

Armour'* l'ork Dealt A Chicago dispatch states that the grcut pork corner terminated Saturday, ami that .Mr. Philip Armour's profits by the corner cannot be less than $2,500,000. The origin of the corner ?lates buck to the failure of (Irani & Ward. At that time New York speculators declared there was no limit to thc decline in nil norts of values, l'ork was at $10 per barrel. New York was particularly anxious to sell pork, and it couldn't sell it fast enough. Phil. Armour had his cellar full of thc property. Ho had hun dreds of thousands of barrels, represent ing millions of dollars, and to protect his own interest he began buying against New York's selling, in one day he took in over 100,000 barrels. New York, in a week or so, began to suspect that sell ing short against Armour's buying might prove a disastrous business. Before the situation dawned lui ly upon the minds of j short sellers, however, thc market had been sold short fully 300,000 barrels. In the meantime Armour had been com pelled to take all thc cash pork in the country, and a good deal of it was scraped up here and tbero, but bc got the major part at from $16 to $1? per barrel. Suddculy the price began to advance. The shorts were nervous, but they held on. The figures rapidly climbed up to $20, then to $22, and, advancing fifty cents a day, were not long in reaching $26, and finally $28. In the meantime a good many shorts settled, but a large short interest held out to the last, and Friday a lot of 3,000 barrels was settled for. Saturday the last of them stepped up to Armour's office and settled their differences. Mr. Armour claims that no one was injured by tho corner except a few New York and New Orleans gamb lers. The public, he claims, was bene fited by the prices being held up while the impending demoralization to trude was averted. Senator 'lampton ls Mum. A special from the White Sulphur Springs to the (Hobe-Democrat says: Senator Wade Hampton came in Irom his trout fishing iu the vicinity of Dag gers' Springs, but the taciturnity of the angler was strong upon him. For a day be sat about the porches, giving nine teuths of his time to the papers and the remainder to monosyllabic conversation with friends. He thinks the political situation is puzzling and that it is too early to foretell the result in November. Bayard was his choice at Chicago, and he feels that the Democratic party would have been in better shape at this stage of the canvas? with thc Delaware Senator as the candidate. Looking from the standpoint of the past, and with only such information of present eveuts as infrequent access to the- newspopers gives bim, be sees no reason for the Re publicans counting upon carrying any Southern State this fall. A day with pupers and people was enough for him, and thc next morning tho Senator de parted early, in search of new piscatorial fields to conquer. He is now among the pools of the Greenbrier river. His aon ?n law, John C. Haskell, accompanies him. _ A Dangerous Man. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., September ?. In an Interview this forenoon with a New? repo/ter Governor Hendricks was asked, "Wi.at do you think will be the result of the Buller canvass?'' "That is very difficult to answer. Mr. lintier is unquestionably a very dangerous man before an audience, and he will attract large audiences, and were the election to occur to day I should be inclined tu con cede him n considerable vote Hut the weakening process is going on steadily. The people do not like to throw tin ir votes away. It is certain that his elec tion ia impossible under any circumstan ces and this will deter many of his ad mirers from voting for him. It is also impossible for bim to effect as perfect an organization as is possessed by either of the old parties. But Mr. Butler is a re markable man, and those who kuow hun best admit that he is a very good one." "If the Chicago Convention had placed your name at the bead of the ticket don't you think that you would h-ve had his support?" "I know it," said Hendricks warmly. "I know it." The Miraculous Escape of a Sonni im? hallst. Col. J. S. H. Thomson went to Cincin nati last week to attend the Grand Council of the Knights of the Golden Rule, accompanied by bis son, Rowland, about fourteen years old. On his return they both divested themselves of some of their clothing and shoes aud went to sleep. After travelling an hour or two Mr. Thomson awoke and missed his son. His shoes were in the place be pulled them off. He searched through the whole train, but could not find bim. He took the first train he met and returned lo bunt him. After diligent search, contii.ved on several passing trains, he found hi m on the track. It seems that he walked ofT the train in bis sleep. He was considerably bruised, but no bones were broken.
