The State Executive Committee of the Democratic party have appointed Friday, the twenty-sixth day of the present month, for the mass meeting in Ander? son, and have assigned the following distinguished gentlemen as speakers for that occasion: Hon. Wade Hampton, Hon. J. C. Sheppard, Hon. J. M. Bryan, Hon. D. W. Aiken, Hon. George John stone, Hon. J. P. Richardson, Hon. A. Coward, Hon. J. L. Orr and Hon. W.O. Benet. These speakers are eloquent orators and forceful reasoners, so that those who attend will be more than delighted with th? occasion. The two Clubs in the City of Anderson have arranged the preparations for the meeting, and those who attend will find, ample accommoda? tion in seats. The people of the County ?ladies and gentlemen, young and old, j white sod colored?should make it a point to attend this meeting. The Na? tional . canvass is now becoming very interesting, and this will be the best time to hear the issues of that canvass discuss? ed. The State campaign this year will be abort and sharp. South Carolina must help to elect Cleveland, And An? derson must help to increase her majority. Let os all be present to imbibe the enthusiasm of the campaign, and help in enthusing those around us. Other Counties are preparing for a great day, and Anderson should not be behind them. All of oar people should come on the twenty-sixth. A KAIXBOAD KING. The.. Athens Banner- Watchman says: Uncle'Billy Bowers, the great old railroad king of Franklin county, says he will visit Athens in a few days in the interest of a railway from our city to Anderson, S. 0., and that if our citizens j will give him any encouragement he will build the line. Mr. Bowers says the people over in his section are anxious to trade with Athens again, and a railroad I from this place to tap the Elberton Air Line will restore to us all we have lost. Through his individual exertions this old man has graded the Carnesville road a distance of eight miles, ironed two-and a-half miles of the track, and has enough on band to l?y another half mile and a $2,700 locomotive making semi-weekly ; trips. Oar people will give ancle Billy a hearty welcome when be comes to Athens, and all the aid in their power. Tbe people of Anderson have an in? terest in this enterprise, as i* may some day become a part of a new short line from Baltimore to the West, which would give to all points along the route the advantages which tbe Air Line gives to points on its route. Another through line has been projected for some years, aud the line upon which Mr. Bowers is working would naturally be a link in that line. When the time to act comes Anderson cannot afford to remain still, but must take such steps as may be ne? cessary to secure tbe location of the road by this point. Believing that this time is not far distant, the people of Ander? son take an interest in Mr. Bowers' work, and wish him mach success. We will try to join him as soon as circumstances will permit. The time of meeting of the State Legislature is not only an inconvenient one, but it is also a very disadvantageous one for tbe State. The haste to finish before Christmas entails upon the people hasty legislation, and prevents in many instances tbe consideration of important measures. But for the Christmas period a week or ten days more would generally be added to the session, which would cost the State some ten thousand dollars more, but return to the people better legislation, which would a great deal more than compensate for the outlay. Another advantage of sessions after in? stead of before Christmas would be in the change which it would render possible in tbe arrangement of our collection of taxes. As at present arranged, property is assessed in June of one year to be tax? ed next year. Tbe taxes are collected in October, and settlements not made with j the Treasurers for the delinquent taxes ! until the months of February or March following. The Legislature adjourns without knowing the condition of tbe Slate treasury from the last tax levy. The system should be changed, so as to assess property in May and collect the taxes in November and December fol? lowing, by which means each year's taxes would be collected upon the assessments for that year. This would save a great deal of trouble to the tax officers, and some loss to the State, for, as it stands now, the man who returns property in one township in June, 1884, when tbe tax of 1885 is collected may have moved into another township or County before tbe time for collecting the tax upon this year's assessment. If bis return was only of personal property, and he is not disposed to pay the tax, it is more than possible that be may escape paying alto? gether. It is also very inconvenient, for the period between tbe assessment and the paying is so long that many land sales occur, and conseqnent confusion between the buyer andseiler. We agree with those who iavor the Legislature meeting in the Spring or Winter after Christmas. The time for paying taxes should be changed also. Maine has gone Republican with a whoop, the majority reaching up to the neighborhood of twenty thousand, while tbe Republicans only claimed about twelve before the election. It was a great Blaine victory, and shows the pow? er and influence of the Plumed Knight at hoxa. It was a great compliment to Mr. Blaine, but withal it is likely to cost him dearly enough in November. The Bepnblican party in Maine has espoused the cause of prohibition, and in the elec? tion just past, voted by an overwhelming majority in favor of an amendment to tbe State Constitution forever prohibit? ing the manufacture or sale of spirituous or intoxicating liquors?cider excepted. It was submitted to the people of Maine by a Republican Legislature. The Re? publican party espoused its cause before the people, and the Republican voters went solidly for it at the polls. Mr. Blaine himself, although at home, did not have tbe manhood to vote in the election, but it is evident that he is in j sympathy with the movement. This, at least, is the view taken of the matter out i West, and* the Germans of Ohio, Wis? consin and Illinois, propose to speak to Mr. Blaine in November. They are utterly opposed to prohibition, and ai? [ though they have been Republicans as a class, yet it is said that thousands of them will vote tbe Democratic ticket at this time as a rebuke to the temperance movement in the Republican party. Thus Mr. Blaine's victory in Maine may prove his defeat in Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois and other Western States. The New York papers have published another series of letters from Blaine to John Fisher, which have not yet been given to the public It is claimed that they are exceedingly damaging to Mr. Blaine, and that there are yet others of the same character to follow. Tbe New York Times says of them: "If anything short of horse-stealing will convince ardent Blaine Republicans that their candidate is a man without honor and without shame., these letters will certain? ly have that effect. The 'Anchor to Windward* letter has furnished the cam? paign with a watchword that will doubt* less become still more famous than Mr. Blaine's other expression with regard to not being a deadhead.n On the contrary, Mr. Blaine says: "There was not a word in the letter," Blaine added, "which was not entirely consistent with the most scrupulous integrity and honor." He hoped that every Republican paper in the United States would publish the letters in full. This is doubtless trying to put the best appearance possible npon a bad matter. T.he trouble, however, seems to be, that Mr. Blaine has a differ? ent view of "scrupulous integrity and honor" from the old time opinion of moral men. This difference is so great that it is now safe to predict that Mr. Blaine will never be President of the United States. The Tammany General Committee, at a meeting in New York last week, by a vote of 810 to 87, adopted resolutions pledging tbe party to Cleveland and Hendricks. John Kelly presided. The address sets out that Tammany was op? posed to Cleveland, but that they are Democrats, and will vote and work for the success of the ticket. Senator Grady opposed the resolution, and when it was adopted withdrew from the organization, and announced that be would vote for Butler. This action of Tammany makes the Democratic party of New York sol? id, and the leaders of the party there put the State down as safe for Cleveland by at least fifty thousand majority. "Poor Old Hayes.*' Sahatoga, N. Y., September 11.?A rural-looking gentleman, wearing a shiny, old alpaca coat, was pointed out on the United States Hotel piazza as Mr. Hayes, formerly President of the United States. He sat in a corner, quite apart from any of the guests, and looked thoroughly lonesome and out of place as he ran bis fingers mechanically through his beard, that is rapidly showing streaks of gray. He has been here several days attending the meetings of the Prison Reform As? sociation. Except al these meetings he has not been seen to talk to any of the guests, though the house is full of prom? inent men and women who knew him well?they say too well. But tbe ex President is being politely cut and delib? erately shunned,, At his approach there is a quiet dropping of eyes and an in-1 creased attention to other things. He Bneaks in and out of the dining-room unattended and is almost the only one of the 300 guests who dines quite alone. And yet in the same dining-room, almost at his elbow, certainly within eyesight, there are fifty men whom he once called friend. He seems tbe more out of place because of tbe absence of Mrs. Hayes, who so frequently accompanies him. "Poor Hayes" whispered a politician of national note, pointing to the ex President, "he seems to be utterly ignor? ed. And this contempt, do you know, is not because he stole the Presidency. Why, that has been forgiven long ago. It is altogether a personal feeling, ex? pressive of disgust at the littleness of the man's character, at bis commonplace mediocrity. The Americans are a gen? erous people and can't bear a stingy man, and bis stinginess has done more to os? tracise him than any other quality. I guess that is why I dislike him." ? Mrs. Mary Weeks-Burnett of Chi? cago recently stated that she bad made a study of the use of tobacco. She has found that many of the divorces of the present day were the results of the use of "tbe weed." Tobacco affected th? sympathetic nerves which controlled the heart. The nerve became paralyzed, and many a husband was thus estranged frb'm his wife'. ' Pendleton Farmers' Clnb. The 69tb anniversary of the Pendleton Farmers' Society will be celebrated at Pendleton on tbe 9th of October, 1884. It is intended by the managers to make the occasion as interesting and instruct* ive as possible. There will be on exhi? bition many colts sired by Red Chief, and perhaps fifty or more colts of the Norman-Percheron stock, besides other horses, herds of Jersey Cattle, and some of the best breeds of hogs. The P. F. Society was organized in the year 1815, and was first incorporated in the year 1817. When Pendleton Dis? trict was divided into Pendleton and Anderson Districts this Society purchased tbe old Court House building at Pen? dleton, which they had taken down and rebuilt into the present Farmers' Hall. From the date of its organization down to the present time tbe Pendleton Farmers' Society has kept up its organi? zation. Pendleton being the home of John C. Calhoun, a practical farmer, and many other prominent sons of South Carolina, and being also the Summer resort of many of tbe most distinguished citizens of the State, all of whom were practical agriculturists and engaged in farming operations, a powerful influence j was thus brought to bear, through this Society, upon the industry of farming, j Tbe Society, supported by such influen? ces, exerted all its powers to elevate, lift i up and dignify the business in which they were engaged. The education of the [ farmer was early recognized as the surest means of accomplishing these results? improved stock of all kinds were import? ed, improved implements were tested, and improved methods in the cultivation of the crops were introduced. These labors, continued for so many years, were not without their fruits. To day the farming community around Pendleton feel the impulse thus given to it. By reason of the changed conditions of the country resulting from the war, new meth? ods of farming, new industries, improved labor-saving implemen' ?., and a different variety of work animals have become a necessity. Recognizing these facts, the Pendleton Farmers' Society, with its past experience before it, early after the war lent its in? fluence in assisting the farmers to adapt themselves to these new conditions. Tbe raising of such stock as was best adapted to the wants and necessities, as well as the pleasure of the country, was promptly entered into as a business, and to day there are numerous stock farms dotted all over the surrounding country. To exhibit tbe stock of these farmB, and demonstrate their fitness and adap? tability to the present wants and neces? sities of the country, and thereby en* courage a business which has already proven itself profitable, is tbe principal object of the celebration and stock show on the 9th of next October. We invite all who feel an interest in building up the prosperity of our coun? try, and particularly those who feel an interest in tbe raising of improved stock, to come and see for themselves what we have already accomplished in that line. R. W. SIMPSON, W. H. D. GAILLARD, B. E. SEABORN, Committee. A Shocking Story From Georgia. On the night of the 25th ult. a man by the name of Tom Harris, accompanied by two negroes, came over from South Carolina and drove up to a house in tbe upper portion of this county, where his wife, Mrs. Harris and her six little chil? dren lived, and just after supper, while Mrs. Harris was washing dishes, Harris, with one of the negroes, went to the kitchen where Mrs. Hariris was?took her by force?bareheaded and barefooted, and put her in tbe carriage, which the other negro had in waiting, and left in great baste for South Carolina. The carriage was a double-seated one, and Harris and one of the negroes took the back seat, while tbe other negro did the driving, which was done at the full speed of tbe horses most of the way. Mrs. Harris was placed on the floor of the carriage, with her head drawn back between tbe knees of Harris, who kept bis bands over her mouth to prevent her from making a noise, while tbe negro on the seat with him held Mrs. Harris's hands in order to keep her in tbe position desired. It is said she begged her husband most pite* ously not to smother her, and to let her get her breath, but his only response was an oath and a command to keep quiet. One of the negroes has been captured and lodged in jail at this place. We are informed that Harris is a na? tive of Hart County, and married in the upper portion of this county; that he has always treated his wife most cruelly, often whipping and beating ber. He was prosecuted in Hart County last year for wife whipping, and through the in? tervention of some friends the court was induced to let him off with a light pun? ishment, after which be took his family and went to South Carolina, where he soon commenced his old practice of whipping his wife, and treated her so cruelly that she took her little children some time ago and came back on this side of tbe river near her mother's, where she was living when taken away. Har? ris, it is said, went to the livery stable at Anderson on Monday morning aud hired the team and carriage iu which he carried bis wife away, paying six dollars for the same. He is said to be a very worthless, bad character, and that on account of cruel treatment bis wife has left bim several times before.?From the Elberton, Ga., South. Treasure Revealed in a Dream. Social Circle, Ga., September 9 ? Walnut Grove, in Walton County, is en? joying a remarkable sensation. Among tbe most respected residents of tbe place is Miss Laura Shelnut, who has passed the meridian of youth, but yet remains an active participant in society events. About a week ago she bad a dream. Before her imaginary gaze was spread tbe pauorama of tbe su rrounding country. A young man, elegantly dressed and or? namented with a red necktie, stepped up to her, and pointing out a certain spot, told ber to dig and wealth would be hers. Just then she awoke, and tbe young man was gone, but tbe memory of the dream so troubled ber that she slept no more that night. Last Friday night the dream was substantially repeated. The third night she again had tbe dream, which so impressed her that on the following morning she went out, and, sure enough, at tbe designated spot, about two feet under the ground, she found a small tin box filled with gold coin. There are wit? nesses both to the finding and digging up of the box of gold. The whole commu? nity is excited over the finding of the treasure. I ? G. W. Cromer, of Abbeville Coun? ty, planted this year an acre and a-hal? in Borgbum. On this he made 150 gal lous of fiue syrup, which at 50 cents per gallon would make $75. There is money in such farming. For Cleveland. Ex-Secretaries Hamilton Fish, of New York, and Benjamin H. Bristow, of Kentucky are both outspoken in favor of Cleveland and against Blaine for Presi? dent. The venerable Mr. Fish, whose services as Secretary of State under Grant, and as Governor of New York elected by Whig voters, make bim one of the most prominent men in bis party, was some? what averse to talking publicly of his preference for Cleveland. ''I am out of politics altogether,' he said, "and it would hardly look right for me to take any active part in the cam? paign under the circumstances. I have the greatest respect and admiration for the Democratic candidate, and personal? ly I should like to see bim President. He has made a splendid record as Gover? nor, and I believe would do equally well as the Chief Executive. There is only one thing I shall possibly fear in voting for him, and that is the Southern Demo? cratic element. Cleveland himself is all that could be desired, but be might mind, I say might?be controlled by the Southern Democratic majority. Even though I vote for Cleveland it is the man and not the party I endorse. Why, I still consider myself a Republican, too," and tbe ex-Governor dropped into a reverie as he reviewed his half century of political service. "Now, about Blaine," he resumed, in a retrospective sort of way. "I know him personally, and a more agreeable, fascinating man I never met. But bis past record"?and Mr. Fish broke off abruptly and pursed up his lips, fear/ul of saying too much. "I won't say any? thing of his doings in Congress, for on that point there is some dispute. But bis course in tbe Department is patent to all?you know it as well as I?and it cannot be too strongly condemned. I don't want to talk publicly?I am out of politics and really must not say any more. Still, it is tbe most uncertain election I ever saw. What with Butler in the East and St. John in the West and tbe Independents everywhere, there is no telling where we will bring up. I wish I knew," and with an inquiring look be turned to a party of friends as though they could tell bim. ?

Ostrich eggs are said to be worth $12 each. ? The estate of the late Arthur W. Austin, of Boston, which will eventually go to the University of Virginia, will amount to some $400,000. ? Atlanta is to have a grand taber? nacle for tbe people who are not regular church goers to worship in. Senator Brown subscribes $5,000, and tbe proba? ble cost will be $100,000. ? The orange trees in. Florida are making an unprecedentedly rapid growth this season, and tbe fruit promises to be unusually bright, in fact, there is scarcely any rusty fruit visible. ? Mr. Daniel Livingston, of Tampa, has recently sold his orange grove, situ? ated on tbe avenue named for bim, to Mr. M. W. Coleman, of South Carolina, for tbe Bum of $8,000. ? The State industrial and technical college for females, to be established at Columbus, Mississippi, will be the first institution of tbe kind ever started uu der State auspices in America. ? Mr. S. V. Massey, of Oconee Coun? ty, is making a success by tobacco grow? ing. He has placed on exhibition in Walhalla one stalk six feet high contain? ing twenty full sized leaves, each of which measured twenty-five inches in width and thirty-seven inches in length. ? A sentiment of dissatisfaction is growing up in Memphis against the large proportion of judges in Tennessee com? pared with those of other Southern States, and several Representatives will come to tbe next Legislature from Shel? by County who will advocate a redistrict ing of the judiciary. ? The Birmingham Age calls atten? tion to a strange and disgraceful exhibit of some Alabama counties. A Lime? stone county-editor has been gathering statistics aha shows that in his part of the State tbe value of farming imple? ments is $3,099, while the value of dirks, pistols, etc., is $5,587. ? One of tbe curiosities to be exhibi? ted at tbe New Orleans exposition from South Carolina, is a palmetto stump completely petrified. It was dug up recently from the sand beach near Mount Pleasant, and weighs about forty pounds. It is solid stone, and tbe grain of the palmetto wood is easily discerned. It is regarded by geologists as a remarkable specimen, since no instance is on record of palmetto wood being petrified. ? Tbe report of Ben Butler's sudden death was started in Omaha a day or two ago, and was, we are glad to say, speedily contradicted by old Ben bimsJf. The country could ill afford to lose this great man at present.

Cotton mill nen in Atlanta are gloomy and speak of the outlook as any? thing but encouraging. The situation is certainly very depressing when goods cannot be manufactured and sold at the price of tbe raw cotton. A mill presi? dent said to nie that a very grave mis? take was made at the meeting of spin? ners at Augusta when the proposition 'o shut down tbe mills failed. However, the near future may bring about a better state of things; if not, cotton manufac? turers in the South, especially tbe small? er mills, will suffer, if they do not have to go to the wall.?Atlanta letter to Macon Telegraph.

Another Rescue from Death.?In 1S81 while sewing on a machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in her side, which was soon followed by hemorrhages from he." lungs, severe cough, fever, and she could neither eat or sleep, and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton. Her stomach refused to retain any food, and the physician thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. At a final consultation of two physicians her case was pronounced hopeless. I tried Brewer's Lung Restorer by advice of one of tbe physicians, and she began to improve after the third dose. She continued the medicine, and is now in ex? cellent health, and is better than she has been in several years. 1 believe Brewer's Lung Restorer saved her lifo. Benj. F. Herndo.v. .17 YatesYille, Ga.
