The State Executive Commitleeof the Democratic party have appointed Friday, the twenty-sixth day of the present month, for the mass meeting in Ander soo, and have assigned the following distinguished gentlemen as speakers for that occasion: Hon. Wade Hampton, Hon. J. C. Sheppard, Hon. J. M. Bryan, Bon. D. W. Aiken, Hon. George John? stone. Hon. J. P. Richardson, Hon, A. Coward, Hon. J. L. Orr and Hon. W. C. Benet. These speakers are eloquent orators and forceful reasoners, so that those who attend will be more than delighted fe ?th tho occasion. The two Clubs iu the City of Anderson have arranged the preparations for the meeting, and those who attend will find ample accommoda tion in seats. The peopte of the County -ladies and gentlemen, young and old, whits and colored-should make it a point to attend this meeting. The Na tional canvass is now becoming very interesting, and this will ba the beat time to hear the Issues of that canvass discuss ed. The State campaign thia year will be abort and sharp. South Carolina must help to elect Cleveland, and An G3!*0!!2iB3t bft?n |0 ?t!i-s?3?S9 he? sS*jOF?y, Let na all be picsent to imbibe the enthusiasm of the campaign, and help in enthusing those around u?. Other Counties are propsrlng for a great day, and Anderson ahonld not be behind them. AU of our people should come on the twenty-sixth. ? ?AJXHOAD KINO. Tho Athena Banner- Watchman says : Uncle Billy Bowers, the great old railroad king of Franklin county, says he will visit Athena in a few days In the interest of a railway from our city to Anderson, S. C., and that if our citizens will give him any encouragement he will build the line. Mr. Bowen saya the people over in his section are anxious to trade with Athens again, aud a railroad from thia place to tap the Elberton Air T t-_ -?111 -^.t?^. ... .11 I-I-? AilUU Tr... .uww.w wv w.w MI. nw ?.cv .uaw. Through his individual exertions this old roan baa graded the Oarneaville road a distance of eight miles, ironed two-and*. a-half miles of the track, and has onough on hand to lay another half mile and a $2,700 locomotivo making semi-weekly trips. Our people will give uncle Billy a nearly welcome when be comee to Athena, ead all the aid In their power. The people of Anderson have an in terest in thia enterprise, aa I? may some day become a part ot a new short Hue from Baltimore to tho Weat, which would give to all points along the route the advantages which the Air Line gives to points on its route. Another through line has been projected for some years, and the line upon which Mr. Bowers is working would naturally be a link In that line. When the time to aot comes Anderson cannot afford to remain atilt, but moat take auch steps as may be ne? oessary to secure the location of the road . by thia point. ? Believing that thia time la not far distant, the people of Ander* son tafco an interest Ia Mr. Bowers' work, and wish bira much sttccc^. We will try to join bim as soon aa circumstances will permit. The time of meeting of the State Legislature li, not only au inconvenient one, but it is also a Very disadeanta^eous ono fot tho State. The haste to finish hefcre Chris tm CB entails upon the people hasty.legislation, and prevents In many instances the consideration of important measures. But for tho Cbristmas period a week or fen days more would generally bo added to tho session/ which would .cost the State some ten thousand dollars more, but return to the people better l?gislation, which would a great deal more than compensate for the outlay. Another advantage of sessions after in atoad of before Christmas would be In the change which it would render possible in the avr&ngement of our collection ot taxes: As at present arranged, property is amassed in June of ca o year to bo tax ed oexfc year. The tsaes are collectedl its October, and settlements not made7 with tho Tireas'srera for the delinquent taxes pnixl tho months of february or March following. Tho Legislature adjourns without knowing tho condition of the State treasury from tho last tar levy. Thesyeteu-ahbuld be changed, to as tb 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, aa it elanda now, tho man who returns property io one township in June, 1884, wben tba tax of 1885 is collected may have moved into another township or County before the 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 tho tax, it is more than possible that he may escape paying alto gether. It is also very inconvenient, for the period between the assessment and the paying is so long that many land sales occur, and consequent confusion betweeu the buyer and seller. We agree with those who favor the Legislature meeting in tho Spring or Winter after Christmas. Tho time for paying taxes should be changed also. Maine has gone Republican with a whoop, tbe majority reaching up to the neighborhood of twenty thousand, while the 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 home. It was a great compliment to Mr. Blaine, but withal it is likely to cost him dearly enough in November. The Republican party in Maine bas eopouscd tbe cause of prohibiten, and in the elec tion just past, voted by an overwhelming majority in favor of an amendment to the 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 causo before the people, and the Republican ?*oters went solidly for it at the polls. Mr. BIRIRP himself, slthoush at hornf, did not have the manhood to vote in the election, but it is evident that be is in sympathy with tho movement. Thin, at least, is tho view taken of the matter out West, and tho Germans of Ohio, Wis consin and Illinois, propose to speak to Mr. Bl&'na ia November. They are utterly opposed to prohibition, and al though they have been Republicans as a clans, yet it is said that thousands of them will vote the 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 Westero Slates. The New York papers have published another series of letters from Blaiue to Jobo Fisher, which have not yet beea given to the public. It ?B claimed that they are exceedingly damaging to Mr. Blaine, and that there are yet others of the same character to follow. The New York Times says of them : "If anything short of horse-stealing will convince, ardent Blaine Republicana that their candidate ia a man without honor and without abame, these letters will certain ly have that effect. The 'Anchor to Windward' letter bas furnished the cam paign with a watchword that will doubt lesa become atill more famous than Mr. Blaioe's other expreasioo with regard to not being a deadhead." On the contrary, Mr. Blaine saya : "There was not a word in the letter," Blaine added, "which waa not entirely conaiatent with the moat cern pu IOHO integrity and honor." He boped thftt every Republican p3per in tbs United States would publish ihe lettera in full. This ia doubtleas trying to put tbe beat appearance possible upon a bad matter. The trouble, however, seems to be, that Mr. Blaine bas a differ ent view of "scrupulous integrity and honor" from the old time opinion of moral meu. Thia difference in so great that it is now safe to predict that Mr. Blaine will never be President of tbe United States. The Tammany General Committee, at a meeting io New York last week, by a vote of 810 to 87, adopted resolutions pledging tbo party to Cleveland and Hendricks. John Kelly preaided. The address sets out that Tammany was op posed to Cleveland, but that they aro Democrats, and v?iii vois and work io. the auccesa of tbe ttaket. Senator Grady opposed the resolution, and when lt waa adopted withdrew from the organization, and announced that he would vote for Butler. Thia action of Tammany make? the Democratic party of New York sol id, and the leaders of tbe party there put the State down aa asfe for Cleveland by at least fifty thousand majority. ?'Poor Old Bayes.*' SAnATooA, N. Y., September 7.1.-A rural-lookinggentleman, wearing v, shiny, old alpaca coat, waa pointed out on the United States Hotel piazza as Mr. Hayes, formerly President of the United Staten. Ho sat in a corner, quite apart from any of the guests, and looked thoroughly lonesome and out of place aa he ran bia fingen mechanically through bia beard, that ia rapidly showing streaks of gray. He has been here several days attending the meetings of the Prison Reform As sociation. Except ot these meetioga he has not been seen to talk to any of the guests, though the house la fall of prom inent men abd women ?ho knew him well-they cay too well. But the ex President ia being politely cut and delib erately shunned. At hia approach there ls a quiet dropping of eyea aod an in creased) attention to other th Ingo. He eneaka In and out of the dining-room unattended and is almost the only one of the 800 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 caliea friend. He acema the more out or piece because of the absence of Mrs. Bayes, who so frequently accompanies him. "Poor Hayes" whispered a politician of national noto, pointing to the ex President, "he seems to be rttcrly ignor ed. And thia contempt, do you know, is not because he atolo the Presidency. Why, that baa.been xorgiven long ago. It ia ai'ogelher p. personal feeling, ex 5restive cf dismast at the littleness of in nan's character, ft bia commonplace mediocrity. Tba Americans am a gen erous people and can't bear a Clingy man, and hie atingi?os* bas uoae more to os tracise him than any other quality. I guess that la wby I dislike him." - Mrs. Mary We*3?-Buruelt of Chi cago recently stated ?bat she bad made a study of the Use of tobacco. She has found that many of the divorce? of the press?t day wm tho results of tho use of "the weed." Tobacco aftVcted the ?ympath+tlo nerves which controlled the kean. The nervo became paralyzed, and naay a husband was thus cttrtaged Pendleton For mr rs' Club. The 69th anniversary of thc Pendleton Formers' Society will be celebrated at Pendleton on the Otb of October, 188*. It is intended by the rnauagera to make the occasion as interesting and instruct? ive aa possible. There will be on exhi bition msny colts sired by Ked Chief, and perhaps fifty or more colt? of the Norman-Percheron stock, besides other horses, herds of Jersey Cattle, and ?orne 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 the old Court House building mt Pen dleton, which they had taken down and rebuilt into the present Farmers' Hall. From the date of ?ti organization down to the present time the Pendlctou Farmers' Society has kept up its organi zation. Pendleton being the horne of John C. Calhoun, a practical farmer, aud many other prominent sons of South Carolina, and being also the Summer resort of many of the most distinguished citizens of the State, all of whom were practical agriculturist? aud engaged in farming operations, a powerful iufluence was thus brought to bear, through thia Society, upon the industry of farming. The Society, supported by such influen ces, exerted all its powers to elevate, Hil up and dignify the business in which they were engaged. Tho 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 tho crops were introduced. These laborB, continued for so many years, were not without their fruits. To day the farming community around Pendleton fee! the impulse tba*! givim to it. Ry reason of the changed conditions of tba country resulting from the war, new meth ods of farming, new industries, improved labor saving implements, and a different variety of work nnimnls 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 funner? to adapt themselves to these new conditions. The raisiug of such stock as was best adapted to the wants nnd 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 nil over the surrounding country. To exhibit the stock of these farms, 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 the principal object of the celebration and stock show on the Otb of next October. We invite all who feel an interest in building up thc prosperity of our coun try, and particularly those who feel an interest in the 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, M. E. SEABORN, Committee. A Shocking Story From Georgia. On the night of tbe25th 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 the upper portion of this county, where bis wife, Mrs. Harris and ber six little chil dren lived, and just after supper, while Mrs. Harris waa washing dishes, Harris, with one of the negroes, went to the kitchen where Mrs. Harris was-took her by force-bareheaded and barefooted, and put ber io the carriage, which the other negro had in waiting, and left in great haste for South Carolina. The carriage was a double-seated one, and Harris and one of the negroes took the back seat, while the ether negro did the driving, which was done at toe full speed of the hors?? moat of the way. Mrs. Harris waa El aced on the floor of the carriage, with er head drawn baok between the knees of Harris, who kept bis bauds over her mouth to prevent her from making a noise, while the negro on the seat with him held Mrs. Harris's hands in order to keep ber in the position desired. It is aaiu she begged her husband. mcs% pite ously not to smother her. and to let her get her breath, but his only response waa an oath and a command to keep quiet. One of the uegroea baa been captured and lodged in jail at thia place. We are informed that Harris is a na j live of Hart County, and married in the upper portion of this county ; that be jas alwaya treated bis wife most cruelly, often whipping and beating ber. Ho was prosecuted in Hart County laat year for wile whipping, aud through the in tervention of some friends the court waa induced to let him off with a light pun ishment, after which he took hia family and went to South Carolina, where he soon commenced bia old practice of whipping bia wife, and treated her so cruelly that she took her little children some time ago and came back on thia side of the river near her mother's, where she waa living wheo taken away. Har ris, it ia said, went to the livery atable at Anderson on Monday morning and aired the team and carriage iu which he carried bia wife away, paying six dollars for the same. He la aaid to be a very worthless, bad character, ead that on account of cruel treatment his wife has left bim several times before.--From the Elberton, Ga., South. Treasure Revealed Ia a Dream. SociAL CIRCLE, GA., September 9 - Walnnt Grove, in Walton County, is en joying a remarkable sensation.

Just then she awoke, and the young man was gone, but the memory of tho dream so troubled her that she slept no more that night. Last Friday night the dream waa substantially repeated. The Caird night she again bad tue dream, which so impressed Der that on the following morning abe went out, and, aura enough, at the designated spot, about two feet under tb? ground, she round a small tin box; filled with gold coin.

For Cleveland. Ex-.Secretarle* Hamilton Kiah, of Nev? 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 a? Governor of New York elected by Whig voters, make him one of the moat prominent men in hit? party, wag some what averse to lulling pub ?cly of his preference for Cleveland. "I am out of politic* altogether," he said, "and it would hardly look right for mu to tako any active part in the cam I gn under the circumstance?. I bave tee greatest respect and admiration for the Democratic candidate, and personal* ly I should like lo see him President. He has made a splendid record a? Gover nor, and 1 believe would do equally well as tho Chief Executive. There ia only one thing I shall possibly fear in voting for him, end that is the Southern Demo eratic e!.'u.ent. Cleveland himself itali that could be desired, but he might mind, I say might-be controlled by the Southern Democratic majority. Even though I vote for Cleveland it ??the man and not the party I endon-e. Why, I still consider myself a Republican, too," and the 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 his past record"-and Mr. Fish broke off abruptly and pureed up his lins, feurful of saying too much. "I won t say any thing of his doings in Congress, for on that point there is some dispute. But his course in the 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 the most uncertain election I ever saw. What with Butler in the East and St. John in the West and the Independents everywhere, there is no telling where we will bring up. I wish I knew," and with an iuquiring look he turned to a party of friends as though they could tell him. - ? wom&u who ?rad once remaikubio for her great beauty, died In Atlanta Sunday from tneefiectaof intemperance. - A gentleman ia about starting an ostrich ranche near Laredo, Texas.

It was dug up recently from tho sand beach near Mount Pleasant, and weighs about forty pounds. It is solid stone, and tho grain of the palmetto wood is easily discerned. It is regarded by geologiats as a remarkable specimea, since no instance is on record of palmetto wood being petrified. - The report of Bea Butler's suddoa death waa started in Omaha a day or two ago, and was, we are glad tn say, speedily contradicted by old Ben himself.
