The International Time Commission, which mot in Washington on last Mon day, decided by resolution to abolish the present system of numbering tho hours of the day, and substitute a syitcm be ginning with zero, at midnight, and run ning up to twenty-four at midnight again. This system will abolish all diflbrence between a. m. and p. m. time, and will alter all hourn ofter 12 meridian, so that one will bo thirteen, two fourteen, and so on to twelve at night, which will bc twenty-four o'clock. This system will now, in all probability, be rapidly adop ted all over tho world, and wo believe the change will bo very desirable. The Columbia correspondent ol the News and Oouricr has been interviewing members oi the South Carolina Repub lican Executive Committee, and reports that Shrewobury says that tho Commit tee expect to carry the electoral vote of tho Stato "by a largo majority," aci Collector and Chairman Brayton, who has jost returned from the North, says that he is very sanguine of carrying South Carolina tbr'fiiaine 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 larye 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 the negroes, growing out of 'the chasing of two thieves with blood-honnds. 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 firo, but aro 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 secosd time is three years that the tows has been burnt but by incendiaries. The Hon. John H. Evins died 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 sge. He graduated at the South Carolina College, and prac tice tl law until the war, when be went into service serf lng as Lieutenant and Captain until he was so badly wouuded 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, whoso Ufe was valuable to the community and State. His death is regretted by many friends throughout the Slate. The people of South Carolina are over, confident about our State in the coming election. There is a registered colored majority against us io the State. It is thoroughly organised and ready to come to the polls on the. dey of election. If our people do not bestir themselves, we may lose the election. With proper work, tho State ls perfectly safe, but with supine indifference or ovor-confi donco wo will lose the election. It be> comes an intelligent people to realise their danger, and by preparing for it to avert it. We wast every Democrat to realiss the fact that bia v>*? and influ ence is needed In Ibis election, and to be eura to give us *be benefit of that vote and influence. The State bsa the r.^ht to expect tbls, for the man who is abie to vote and does not do so, either inten tionally or negligently contribute.! to the possibility elf a BepubUean victory. Every maa. ?7ho values good government in South Carolina should turn out and vote on ?lection day. it is a sacred duty to do sp, and the mau who neglects it fails ia discharging that duty. , - Sixteen hogs sleeping et the .foot of a tree in Sumter County wore killed by lightning ou? night lint "weak. I) t M OCH ATI C RALLY. Ibero will be a Democratic mau meet ing for the Counties of Oconee, Piekens, (?icon vi I lc 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. ll. Murray, M. L. Bonbnni and J. L. Orr. It will be the last meeting of tho campaign in the Third Congressional District, and wa trust that it will bo a grand success. Anderson County should contribute a large attendance to thin meeting, which will do much lo 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 our people should begin to bestir them selves from this time until after the elec tion. I1KMOCIIATIC CLUI1 MKKT1N08. 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 tho purpose of transacting very important business. It is especially desired to have a full meeting, for thin will bc the Inst meeting of thc Clubs during thc cam paign, and it is necessary to mako some arrangements for tho day of thc election. One or moro spenkers will bo sent to each Club. The condition of the present canvass will require every Democrat to do*his duty. Our enemies aro vigilant and active in their eflbrts to subvert good government. Wo should meet activity with i ctivity, and victory will crOWn our o?Torts. We hope, theroforo, that tho meeting of tho Clubs may be largely attended. There is important work ahead of un, and wo should all bo pro pared to act systematically in thc endeav or to get out ihc Democratic voto, and to convert as ma??y Republican voters as possible Don't fall to attend the Club meetings. The evidence of the correctness of thc position of tho INTELLIGENCER last Fall ttpot. thc proper policy for the Democrat ic parly in Congress to pursue upon the tariff question, are now beginning to bu beyond dispute. Tho lending ngitnlors have been mc rc i lr;.- _ beaten al tho polls, even tho gifted Frank Hurd having suc cumbed to a Republican protectionist. The State of Ohio has been lost by tho failure to restore tho duty ou wool. Thc party had n magnificent opportunity, if it lind only refused to go into the Morri son snaro, and appointed a committee to revine tho existing tariff and report nt tho next session. That action would have been prudent and consorvn,5vp, nr,d would have commended itself to ino judgment of thinking meu. As it is, we have lost heavily by ill-attempted legisla tion, but fortunately tho Republicans have blundered, too, and by presenting the groat jobber in American politics for the presidency, have, in a lnrge measure, cured the Democratic, blunder. Rut for Blaine's nomination we would hnvo stood no possible chance of success, and but for tho Democratic Inriff folly the Re publicans would already have beon com pletely whipped. To tho Nominees of the Democracy of Anderson County. GENTLEMEN : The people of Ander son ha/e dono you high honor, and willi that honor have imposed weighty respon sibility. They have chosen you, not merely to fill the offices for which you have boen nominated, but as standard bearers in the conflict which ovon now is raging. Aro you conlent, gentlemen, to sit idly down, reposing upon your prospec tive laurels, and unwilling or unable to strike a single blow for good government and againat Blaiueism and corruption ? In grntitudo with you "a lively sense of favors to come?" Do you intend that wo shall fight your battle at tho polls, and you stand aloof and condescendingly consent to bo honored? Surely not, gentlemen ; suroly not I During the canvass preceding the primaries you were acti vo enough. Why are you less so now ? Havo all dangora to our State and County boen overcome by your nomination ? Will your election by a small majority favorably affect the fortunes of our sister Counties ? Are you not a tv aro that ibero 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 "deadheada" in this matter? Do you not k* ow that every Democratic vote in tho S .ato m mit be cast ou November 4, and t'.at it ls your duty to labor, in season and out of season, to secure that reault? We feel sure that our appeal will not be in vain. We know some of you tob well to doubt. But, Gentlemen, the "times are waxing late." The fateful day is near. Tako care that it be not e "dirj ira" for us and for you. Get to work I Do ail 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 bold in the affections of e grateful people. Et. I*, P. HV. Melton Declines an Empty Honor. Ex-Judge Melton's name adorns, the ticket recently nominated by (be Repub licen State Convention in Colombie es their candidate for attorney general. The nomination was made while Mr. Melton was eway from the State, and up to this time there bas been no authentic state ment of bis views upon his own nomina Uon. In answer to the inquiries , of a reporter of the Newe and Courier Judgo Malton paused yesterday in the midst of hts business at the United States Court, to say lo his own peculiar end emphatic way, "I don't know anything about lt. I wes not in the State when the nomina tion was made. I waa not consulted, and nobody bar! any authority to speak for mo. I absolutely know nothing about it and h aren't given the subject any thought. I cere nothing about Ik I hero always expressed the opinion that 1? was inexpedient for the Republican party in this Stato to nominate a Bute ticket, end J haven't changed my views yet, I regret very much '.bat a nomina tion was made this year. 1 certainly don't intend to canvass the State for. the ticket, nor to bother myself about it ope way or the other. There ia no chance of tho ticket belog elected, and even if there was I am not prepared to say that I would baye accepted inc nomination."--AWJ and Churisr. . . ; \ ?-i George Qaly, a negro well digger, ?Nsf killed by fool gases in a wellt at Abbeville the other day. 1 TO THE PEOPLE. An A(tdr?ii From the National Commit tee. NSW YoltK, October 17.-Thc follow ?oe was made public to dar : Headquarters National Democratic Committee, No. ll, West street, October 10.-To tbo People of the United ?tates : The result of the elections of Tuesday last, in the ff tates of Ohio and Weil Vir Finia, is bofore vou. Ohio elrose Kepub iean electors In 1868, 1H72, 1876 and 1880. Weil Virginia chose republican presidential electors in 1868 and 1872, anti democratic electors in 1870 and 1880. Garfield obtained a plurality in Ohio in 1880 of 04,227 votes. The republican candidate in the late eic? on for secreta ry of .State was u 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 tho congressional delegation of the Stute. WILL ?O DEMOCRATIC IN NOV UM HER, We may confidently expect a majority in Ohio fur Cleveland and Hendricks in November. West Virginia ho?, by its splendid and decisive majority for tho democratic governor at the October elec tion, already declared ?ls purpose to give its electoral vole for *>ur candidates in November. The Blaine managers em ployed extraordinary methods in both ?States. They cxpendid not less than five hundred thousand dollars in Ohio, and more (han ono hundred tboii-and in West Virginia. Jn their political work they did not use money only. They called from every State tho officeholders best fitted to do thc work at which they were put. They crowded these two States with such men an they employed in po litical jobs ; meo engaged in the postal service of the United States. They left the veteran, who had saved the life of tho nation, without the puy with which they were entitled, under the pretence ol having an insufficient clerical forco in the ponsiou bureau, and then lined the commissioner of pensions and a great number of his clerks tts parts of their political machinery in the last elections in Ohio and Wost Virginia. THE ABUttE OF OFFICIAI. PATRONAGE. It has boon openly charged, without denial thal thc payment of the veterans by the commissioner of pensions, has been delayed by him, with thc purpose of compelling them lo vot? for Hluiite. These ?busesof political power have been committed under the over looking eye of Mr. Blaine, and with his full sanction. They show the manner in which, if be wero elected, the public office* would be subordinated lo his personal service, and tho bounty of tho country he made the means of advnuciug his personal inter ests. They mado lue marshals of the United States and their deputies, who ought to he thc guardians of the rights of every citizen of tho United States, part of their machino forco. They arm ed them and incited ihem to violence and to outrage. They expect lo pay for the weapons und services of (hose men out of the treasury of tho United States. They made Blaine one of their county and ward workers in Ohio mid West Virginia, ami hu entered willi /cst upon his familiar dulles. They devised with his knowledge the methods of compelling workmen lo vote ns their employers dic tated ; they kept him in daily association with tho worst elements of their political or"? i?zHtiou ; 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 theil purposes lo make gains in Cincinnati at the election by using armed deputy mar al?ala and negroes to drive voters from thc polls. BLAINE'S PERSONAL CORRUPTION. Tho methods of their campaign in Ohio and West Virginia, and the shnrt of their candidates ia theso methods, have added to tho opprobrium already resting upon his name, and havo assured bit dofest ::J thc general election fr. Novem ber. Blaine has been a member of thc house of representatives, a senator ic congress ano Secretary of Stato of thc United States. He has been accused of corruptly using bis Influence as speaker and as a memboi of the houBO nf representativo for hi: individual profit. His misconduct hat beuu proved by bis own letters. These have confronted him wherever be hot gone. Tho phrases of these letters art so wall known that they are by-words on the streets and jests on the slage. A speaker of the house of repr?sentatives a member of that bouse, who would divert bis influence for money or proper ty, might avail himself of the largei opportunities which the office and powen of president affords. These are not wordi directed by party rancor. They sum ur. the judgment of that iodependeut press which is and always will remain the bul wark of a good und constitutional gov ernment. They express tho convictior of the leading republican journals, ant tho belief of the.se. republican statcBtnei whoso lovo of country has forced theu to declare that the nomination of Blaini was ono not fit to bo mado. THE HOVE FOR KOVSMBXR. There are reasons for our confident, that we will achieve victory in November Tho army of officeholders engaged for i month past in manipulating votes ii Ohio and West Virginia, munt now dis band. Each roan of tho number mus go to his own place. The comraissionoi of pensions, and his bureau clerks canna bo concentrated for political purposes ii the November election. When they an acting individually at their several State they will be unable to do mischief. Th marshals of the United States, by reasoi of the powers which they exercise, ma again do harm in November. The ought to understand that for what thc may have done, and what they may dt they will he hereafter held to the stricte; account by a justly indignant people Tho hopes of reward and the promises t indemnity which tho republicans hoi out to them will not avail them in tb days which are close at hand. Tb country is fully aroused. TUB COUNTRY ALARMED. It is alarmed by the corrupt influence surrounding Mr. Blaine, and will rejee him aa president. Mr. Blaine has grow rich ; the men nround him have grow rich ; the speculators whom he aided b forming laws to suit them, are rich, tb corporations which be has helped bat monopolized the public land; nut trad ha? dwindled, the commerce of tb country is in danger; milla arc atandiu idle; whore wages havo not been stoppe tbey4are reduced ; mechantes and 1 a bo ersgo about seeking employment in vait women and children are beginning I want bread, and the farmer can fina c profitable market' for his grain. Th ci circumstances afford conclusivo pro? that a few int vests have beau cared f< by tho Republican managers st the c: pense of the interest of the present bod of the people. The creation in tb favored land of suth extremes o? weall and prosperity, and the evil days whit have overtaken nil who ara engaged I labor, are not your fault. WHERE THE VAULT LIES. It baa been and ts the fault of tho selfish moo who use the powers wbi< you givo them for their own advanc mont, leaving you to fare as best yt could. It is for you to determine whet) cr these evils shtll continue and lucres* or diminish and end tn general prospc sty, shared io by 'nil alike. You ha tho right to expect that your party lea ere. to whom you have gives suppc ana accorded,honors io past years, w lay aside all differences and win aa eve lasting claim' upon your gratitude I making common cause in your sonre? efforts to obtain tho Messing ot go govaromtr?t. < '< ? - ? ? P' THOROUGH ORGANIZATION CALLED FOI!. You will not be disappointed. Ile. member tbat victory in November over tbe unscrupulous meu who are now en deavoring to seize tho presidency can only bo assured by your complete organ ization. When men aro of ono mind and want to impress their opinion upon thc community in which they live, they must stand together and work together. The highest and liest Organization of which men are capable in that in which every man wants to do that port of the common work which he can d'?, and do with all his might. Your organisations should be of such a nature, and if they aro Oovernor Cleveland will bc elected in November by an unparalleled ma jority. W. II. BARNUM, Chairmun, A. T. GORMAN, Ch'n Coug'ual Committee. - Tho many friends of Congressman Evins will regret to leam that there bas been no improvement in his health hinco his return to his home in ripartanburg. He is confined to his houso the greater part of the time, and is seldom seen upon the street*. It ?H not at all likely that he will be able to go to Washington this Winter. - On Wednesday of Innt week Hlanehe, the three-year old daughter of Frank J. Harman of Lexington, ran ngain.st a negro woman who was carrying a hucket of boiling water. The bucket was upset and the child HO terribly scalded in tho breast that she died the next day. - A negro in Humter County picked up a gun, and, pointing it (lt another 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. Hu didn't know it waa loaded, but he languishes in jail all the ?ame. The wounded negro will pro bably recover.

WE would like to call to the attention of tho people of Anderson County a few significant facts concerning tho Drug Store of HILL BROS., recently moved ircui Broyles' Building on Main ?Street io McCully's Corner on the PublicSquare Smiths' old stand. In the first place these men endeavor.by watching their business closely, to keen always on hand such Drug?, Patent Mea. ici ties, Lamps, nud otb oj- articles in their line, that parties wishing to come or send to their Store for anything, not entirely out of date, can always bo accommodated. For instance, the season for sowing wheat is now upon us, and they have plenty of Blue Stone for peaking it all ; and so when the bilious seasons como they have always on hand a plenteous Bupply of Liver Regulators, Pills, &a, aud in the chilla nnd fever time they double their stock of Quinine and Chill Cures of all kinds. And even so in the Heason when "young men'H fancies lightly turn," Ac., that is, along about Christmas, you can always find there what you want in the way of beautiful Celluloid Sets, hand some Dressing Cases, deliciously sceuted i<nd elegantly decorated Pe.'fumed Bottles. Ladies' Work Boxes, lovely Mirrors and Fancy Articles of every description. It is true they keep a stock of all these things thtuughout the year, but they try to regulate the quantities to suit the eaaon for which they are particularly adapted ; and while even in Spring sud Summer they keep their stock of Lamps full, you will find that they bavo now on hand tho largest and best selected stock of Library, Extensi?n, Stand ann Hand Lamps they have ever kept before-?ti? 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 PublicSquare, in easy ac cess to thoBe wishing Prescriptions or Medicines prepared at night. Anderson, 8.
