The International Time Commission, which met in Washington on last Mon? day, decided bj resolution to abolish the present system of numbering tbe hours of the day, and substitute a system be? ginning with zero, at midnight, and run? ning np to twenty-four at midnight again. This system will abolish all difference between a. m. and p. m. time, and will alter all hours after 12 meridian, so that one will be thirteen, two fourteen, and bo on to twelve at night, which will be twenty-four o'clock. This system will now, in all probability, be rapidly adop? ted all over the world, and we believe the change will be very desirable. The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier has been interviewing members of the South Carolina Repub .-' lican Executive Committee, and reports that Shrewsbury says that the Commit? tee expect to curry the electoral vote of the State "by a large majority," and Collector and Chairman Brayton, who has just returned from the North, says that he is very sanguine of carrying South Carolina for'Blaine and Logan. A word to the wise is sufficient, and it now be? comes the duty of all true Carolinians to see that these expectations of the enemies of good government in this State are defeated "by a large majority." The Town of Edgefield was visited by a terribly destructive fire at daybreak on Saturday morning, which swept away the greater portion of the business houses on the square* The burning was the work of incendiaries, and was a means of revenge on the part of tbe negroes, growing out. of the chasing of twoj thieves with blood-hounds. The loss) from the fire will reach about forty thou? sand dollars. We regret to see that our friends of the Chronicle had their office burnt in this fire, but are glad to note that they will continue their publication and .rebuild as soon as possible. The guilty fiends who fired the town should be ferreted out and hung. This is the second time in three years that the town has been burnt but by incendiaries. The Hon. John H. Evinsdied at his residence in Spartanburg on last Monday from Bright's disease. Col. Evins was a native of Spartanburg County, and was fifty-three years of age. He graduated at the South Carolina College, and prac? ticed law until the war, when be went into service serving as Lieutenant and Captain until he was so badly wounded as to be discharged from service. He afterwards, however, rejoined the army, serving as an aid with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. In 1876 he was nominated and. elected to Congress by the Democrats of the Fourth District, and was repeatedly re-elected. He was an intelligent, conscientious and influen? tial member of Congress. He was a genial, Christian gentleman, whose life was valuable to the community and State. His death is regretted by many friends throughout tbe State. The people of South Carolina are over, confident about our State in the coming election. There is a registered colored majority against us in the State. It is thoroughly organized and ready to come to the polls on the day of election. If our people do not bestir themselves, we may lose the election. With proper work, the State is perfectly safe, but with supine indifference or over-confi? dence we will lose the election. It be? comes an intelligent people to realize their danger, and by preparing for it to avert it. We want every Democrat to realize tbe fact that bis vote and influ? ence is needed in this election, and to be sure to give us the benefit of that vote and influence. The State has the right to expect this, for the man who is able to vote and does not do so, either inten? tionally or negligently contributes to the possibility of a Republican victory. Every man who values good government in South Carolina should turn out and vote on election day. It is a sacred duty to do so, and tbe man who neglects it fails in discharging that duty. ? Sixteen hogs sleeping at the foot of a tree in Sumter County were killed by lightning one night last week. democratic rally. There will be a Democratic mass meet? ing for the Countiea of Oconee, Piekens, Greenville and Anderson at Seneca City on Saturday, November 1, 1884, which will be addressed by Senator Hampton, Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken and Messrs Leroy F. Youmans, W. C. Benet, E. B. Murray, M. L. Boaham and J. L. Orr. It will be the last meeting of the campaign in the Tbkd Congressional District, and we trust that it will be a grand success. Anderson County should contribute a large attendance to this meeting, which will do much to swell our majority In the Federal elections, if it is largely attended. The State is in danger if every man does not do his duty, and onr people should begin to bestir them? selves from this time until after the elec? tion._ democratic club meetings. All of the Democratic Clubs in Ander? son County will meet at their usual places on next Saturday, the 25th inst., at two o'clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of transacting very important business. It is especially desired to have a full meeting, for this will be the last meeting of the Clubs during the cam? paign, and it is necessary to make some arrangements for the day of the election. One or more speakers will be Bent to each Club. The condition of the present canvass will require every Democrat to do'his duty. Our enemies are vigilant and active in their efforts to subvert good government. We should meet activity with activity, and victory will crown our efforts. We hope, therefore, that the meeting of the Clubs may be largely attended. There is important work ahead of us, and we should all be pre? pared .to act systematically in the endeav? or to get out the Democratic vote, and to convert as many Republican voters as possible. Don't fail to attend the Club meetings._ The evidence of the correctness of the position cf the Intelligencer last Fall upon the proper policy for the Democrat? ic party in Congress to pursue upon the tariff question, are now beginning to be beyond dispute. The leading agitators have been mercilessly beaten at the polls, even the gifted Frank Hurd having suc? cumbed to a Republican protectionist. The State of Ohio has been lost by the failure to.restore the duty on wool. The party had a magnificent opportunity, if it bad only refused to go into the Morri? son snare, and appointed a committee to revise the existing tariff and report at the next session. That action would have been prudent and conservative, and would have commended itself to the judgment of thinking men. As it is, we have lost heavily by ill-attempted legisla? tion, but fortunately the Republicans have blundered, too, and by presenting the great jobber io American politics for the presidency, have, in a large measure, cured the Democratic blunder. But for Blaine's nomination we would have stood no possible chance of success, and but for the Democratic tariff folly the Re? publicans wonld already have been com? pletely whipped. To tho Nominees of the Democracy of Anderson Connty. Gentlemen: The people of Ander? son have done you high honor, and with that bonor have imposed weighty respon? sibility. . They have chosen you, not merely to fill the offices for which you have been nominated, but as standard bearers in the conflict which even now is raging. Are you content, gentlemen, to sit idly down, reposing upon your prospec? tive laurels, and unwilling or unable to strike a single blow for good government and against Blaineism and corruption ? Is gratitude with yon "a lively sense of favors to come?" Do you intend that we shall fight your battle at the polls, and you stand aloof and condescendingly consent to be honored? Surely not, gentlemen; surely not 1 Daring the canvass preceding the primaries you were active enough. Why are you less so now ? Have all dangers to onr State and Connty been overcome by your nomination ? Will your election by a small majority favorably affect the fortunes of our sister Counties? Are you not aware that there is lamentable apathy?almost disaffection in our ranks? Can you do nothing ? Can you "find no ways in which you may be useful ?" Are you content to be "deadheads" in this matter ? Do you not know that every Democratic vote in the State must be cast on November 4, and that it is your duty to labor, in season and out of season, to secure that result? We feel sure that our appeal will not be in vain. We know some of you too well to doubt. Bnt, gentlemen, the "times are waxing late." The fateful day is near. Take care that it be not a "dies tree" for us and for you. Get to work! Do all you can with heart, brain, mouth and pen 1 and then, when the struggle is over, whatever the result, yon, too, will have "cast your anchors to windward," and they will have taken hold in the affections of a grateful people. E. L. P. Mr, Melton Declines an Empty Honor. Ex-Judge Melton's name adorns the ticket recently nominated by the Repub? lican State Convention io Columbia as their candidate for attorney general. The nomination was made while Mr. Melton was away from the State, and up to this time there has been no authentic state? ment of his views upon his own nomina? tion. In answer to the inquiries of a reporter of the News and Courier Judge Melton paused yesterday in the midst of his business at the United States Court, to say in his own peculiar and emphatic way, "I don't know anything about it. I was not in the State when the nomina? tion was made. I was not consulted, and nobody bad any authority to speak for me. I absolutely know nothing about it and haven't given the subject any thought. I care nothing about it. I bave always expressed the opinion that it was inexpedient for the Republican party in this State to nominate a State ticket, and I haven't changed my views yet. I regret very much that a nomina? tion was made this year. I certainly don't intend to canvass the State for the ticket, nor to bother myself about it one way or the other. There is no chance of the ticket being elected, and even if there was I am not prepared to say that I would have accepted the nomination."?News and Courier. ? George Galy, a negro well digger, was killed by foul gases in a well :it Abbeville the other day. TO THE PEOPLE. An Address From the Nntlonul Commit tee. New Yoke, October 17.?Tbe follow? ing was made public to-day : Headquarters National Democratic Committee, No. 11, West street, October 16.?To the People of the United States; The result of the elections of Tuesday last, in the Stales of Ohio and West Vir? ginia, is before you. Ohio chose Repub? lican electors in 1868, 1872, 1876 and 1880. West Virginia chose republican presidential electors in 1868 and 1872, and democratic electors in 1876 and 1880. Garfield obtained a plurality in Ohio in 1880 of 34,227 votes. The republican candidate in tbe late election for secreta? ry of State was a gallant soldier and a representative man. The vote of the republican party in that election was broken down by the weight of Mr. Blaine, a factional seeker after the presi? dency. The people there elected a dem? ocratic majority of the congressional delegation of the State. will go DEMOCRATIC in november. We may confidently expect a majority in Ohio for Cleveland and Hendricks in November. West Virginia has, by its splendid and decisive majority for the democratic governor at the October elec? tion, already declared its purpose to give its electoral vot2 for our candidates in November. Tbe Blaine managers em? ployed extraordinary methods in both States. They expendid not less than five hundred thousand dollars in Ohio, and more than one hundred thousand in West Virginia. In their political work they did not use money only. They called from every State tbe officeholders best fitted to do the work at which they were put. They crowded these two States with such men as tbey employed in po? litical jobs; men engaged in tbe postal service of the United States. They left the veteran, who had saved the life of the nation, without tbe pay with which they were entitled, under the pretence of having an insufficient clerical force in the pension bureau, and then used the commissioner of pensions and a great number of his clerks ?s parts of their political machinery in tbe last elections in Ohio and West Virginia. the abuse of official patronage. It has been openly charged, without denial that the payment of the veterans by the commissioner of pensions, has been delayed by him, with the purpose of compelling them to vote for Blaine. These abuses of political power have been committed under the over-looking eye of Mr. Blaine, and with bis full .sanction. Tbey show the manner in which, if be were elected, the public offices would be subordinated :o his personal service, und the bounty of the country be made tbe means of advancing his personal inter? ests. They made tbe marshals of tbe United States and their deputies, who ought to be the guardians of the rights of every citizen of the United States, part of their machine force. They arm? ed them and incited them to violence and to outrage. They expect to pay for the weapons and services of these men out of tbe treasury of the United States. They made Blaine one of their county and ward workers in Ohio and West Virginia, and he entered with zest upon his familiar duties. They devised with his knowledge the methods of compelling workmen to vote as their employers dic? tated ; they kept him in daily association with the worst elements of their political organization ; they made him their coun? selor in every disreputable plan which they devised to promote bis success. He could not have been a stranger to their purposes to make gains in Cincinnati at the election by using armed deputy mar? shals and negroes to drive voters from the polls. - blaine's personal corruption. The methods of their campaign in Ohio and West Virginia, and the share of their candidates in these methods, have added to the opprobrium already resting upon his name, and have assured his defeat in the general election in Novem? ber. Blaine has been a member of tbe house of representatives, a senator in congress and Secretary of State of the United States. He has been accused of corruptly using bis influence as speaker and as a member of the house of representative for his individual profit. His misconduct has been proved by his own letters. These have confronted hira wherever he has gone. The phrases of these letters are so well known that they are by-words on the streets and jests on the stage. A speaker of the house of representatives, a member of that house, who would divert his influence for money or proper? ty, might avail himself of the larger opportunities which the office and powers of president affords. These are not words directed by party rancor. They sum up the judgment of that independent press, which is and always will remain the bul? wark of a good and constitutional gov? ernment. They express the conviction of tbe leading republican journals, and the belief of those republican statesmen whose love of country has forced them to declare that the nomination of Blaine was one not fit to be made. the hope for november. There are reasons for our confidence that we will achieve victory in November. The army of officeholders engaged for a month past in manipulating votes in Ohio and West Virginia, must now dis? band. Each man of the number must go to his own place. The commissioner of pensions, and his bureau clerks cannot be concentrated for political purposes in the November election. When they are acting individually at their several States, they will be unable to do mischief. The marshals of the United States, by reason of the powers which they exercise, may again do harm in November. They ought to understand that for what tbey may have done, and what they may do, they will be hereafter held to the strictest account by a justly indignant people. The hopes of reward aud the promises of indemnity which the republicans bold out to them will not avail them in tbe days which are close at hand. The country is fully aroused. the country alarmed. It is alarmed by the corrupt influences surrounding Mr. Blaine, and will reject him as president. Mr. Blaine has grown rich; the men around him have grown rich ; the speculators whom he aided by forming laws to suit them, are rich, the corporations which he has helped have monopolized the public land; but trade has dwindled, the commerce of the country is in danger; mills are standing idle; where wages have not been stopped they#are reduced ; mechanics and labor? ers go about seeking employment in vain; women and children are beginning to want bread, and the farmer can find no profitable market for his grain. Theso circumstances afford conclusive proof that a few interests have been cared for by the Republican managers at the ex? pense of the interest of r,he present body of the people. The creation in this favored land of such extremes oi wealth and prosperity, and the evil days which have overtaken all who are engaged in labor, are not your fault. where the fault lies. It has been and is the fault of those selfish men who use the powers which you give them for their own advance? ment, leaving you to fare as best you could. It is for you to determine wheth? er these evils shall continue and increase, or diminish and end in general prosper? ity, shared in by all alike. You have the right to expect that your party lead? ers, to whom you have given support and accorded honors in past years, will lay aside all differences and win an ever? lasting claim upon your gratitude by making common cause in your supremo efforts to obtain the blessings of good government. thorough organization called for. You will not be disappointed. Re. member that victory in November over the unscrupulous raeu who are now en? deavoring to seize the presidency can only be assured by your complete organ? ization. When men are of one mind and want to impress their opinion upon the community in which they live, they must stand together and work together. The highest and best organization of which meu are capable is that in which every man wants to do that part of the common work which he can do, and do with all his might. Your organisations should be of such a nature, and if they are Governor Cleveland will be elected in November by an unparallelled ma? jority. W. H. Barn?m, Chairman, A. P. Gorman, Ch'n Cong'ual Committee. ? The many friends of Congressman Evios will regret to learn that there has been no improvement in his health since his return to his home in Spartanburg. He is confined to hia house the greater part of the time, and is seldom seen upon the streets. It is not at all likely that be will be able to go to Washington this Winter. ? On Wednesday of last week Blanehe, the three-year old daughter" of Frank J. Harm an of Lexington, ran against a negro woman who was carrying a bucket of boiling water. The bucket was upset and the child so terribly scalded in the breast that she died the next day. ? A negro in Sumter County picked up a gun, and, pointing it at another i darkey, said, "Look out, I am going to shoot you." He fired, tearing off the man's lower jaw and splitting his tongue in several places. He didn't know it was loaded, but he languishes in jail all the same. The wounded negro will pro? bably recover.

The world Is wiser now, and knows that SCROFULA can only be cured by a thorough purifica? tion of the blood. If this is neglected, the disease perpetuates its taint through generation after generation. Among its earlier, symptomatic developments are Eczema, Cutaneous Eruptions, Tu? mors, Boils, Carbuncles, Erysipelas, Purulent Ulcers, Nervous and Phy? sical Collapse, etc. If allowed to con? tinue, Rheumatism, Scrofulous Ca? tarrh, Kidney and Liver Diseases, Tubercular Consumption, and vari? ous other dangerous or fatal maladies, aro produced by it. ^ Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is the only powerful and always relidbler blood-purifying medicine.

WE would like to call to the attention of the people of Anderson County a few significant fact3 concerning the Drug Store of HILL BROS., recently moved from Broyles' Building on Main Street to McCully's Corner on the Public Square Smiths' old stand, In the first place these men endeavor,by watching their business closely, to keep always on hand such Drugs, Patent Mea iciues, Lamps, and otbe/ articles in their line, that parties wishing to come or send to their Store for anything, not entirely out of date, can always be accommodated. For instauce, the season for sowing wheat is now upon us, and they have plenty of Blue Stone for soaking it all; and so when the bilious seasons come they have always on hand a plenteous supply of Liver Regulators, Pills, &c, and in the chills and fever time they double their stock of Quinine and Chill Cures of all kinds. And even so in the season when "young men's fancies lightly turn," &c, that is, along about Christmas, you can always lind there what you want in the way of beautiful Celluloid Sets, hand? some Dressing Cases, deliciously scented ?nd elegantly decorated Perfumed Bottles, Ladies' Work Boxes, lovely Mirrors and Fancy Articles of every description. It is lr.:e they keep a stock of all these things throughout the year, but they try to regulate tho quantities to suit tho season for which they are particularly adapted; and while even in Spring and Summer they keep their stock of Lamps full, you will find that they have now on hand the largest and best selected stock of Library, Extension, Stand and Hand Lamps they have ever kept before?it is. really worth a walk over there to see the display. Another significant fact is, that the Junior partner, who is the Druggist, sleeps on the Public Square, in easy ac? cess to those wishing Prescriptions or .Medicines prepared at night. Anderson, S.
