Last Thursday afternoon when the news that Cleveland was certainly elected was confirmed, the pent up ieelings of our people could no longer be restrained, . and when darkness settled over onr city everybody was wild with excitement and enthusiasm. A large crowd had collected on the Court House square, "Hurrah for Cleveland" came from everybody's lips. Bonfires were burn? ing, fireworks were illuminating the skies and balloons were ascending' The Heavens seemed to be rejoicing over the victory, ?s meteor after meteor darted across the skies. The enthusiasm kept up until after 10 o'clock, when the crowd dispersed. On Friday morning the news was somewhat conflicting, though the dis? patches indicated that Cleveland was cer? tainly to be our next President, The ex? citement and enthusiasm increased da? ring the day, and by nightfall it was apparent that another demonstration was to take place. Fireworks and bonfires were again brought into use. A proces? sion was formed, and the crowd paraded through the prominent streets, making the welkin ring with their ioyoua shouts. Impromptu speeches were had from vari? ous citizens. These two demonstrations passed off very pleasantly and without an accident, but'still onr people were not satisfied. -The glorious victory which had been achieved could not be realized. It was decided to have a grander and larger dem? onstration. *0ur cannon, "Old Reform . er," had, been loaned to onr Abbeville friends, and as it had proclaimed the good news in 1876, it was agreed to send for it immediately, so that it could again let everybody know that a grand victory had been won. Tuesday night was decided upon as the time 10 have the torchlight procession. Committees were appointed and put to" work., and by Tuesday everything was .complete for the demonstration. At 7 o'clock the Court House square presented a view that carried ns back to 1S76. People were coming in from every direction. Directly the sweet strains of the young America Cornet Band were heard, and amid the booming of the can? non, the display of fireworks and the bright glare of the bonfires, a procession was formed, under the command of Col. M. P. Tribble, as Chief Marshal, assisted by a number of other gentlemen. There were hundreds of torches, and the proces- ; sion moved up main street, headed Dy the young America Cornet Band. The pro? cession marched down Main street, across Hampton to 'McDuflle, up McDuffie to Orr, down Orr to North'Main street and back to the square, where a halt was made. The sidewalks along the line of march' were crowded with spectators, whose deafening cheers mingled with those of the torch-hearers rent the very skies. Fireworks were displayed all along, and on the piazzas and ont of the windows of . every house the lovely faces and smiles of our noble women, with their handkor I chiefs waving, could be seen. The church, ? bells were ringing and engines blowing' their whistles.-? - : When the halt was made upon the Square, and after a spirited piece of music by the Band, loud calls were made for Maj. E. B. Murray, the Chairman of the Anderson County Democracy. Mr. Mur? ray could not be found for some time, but he was finally brought up on the piazza of the Court House, where he made a : brief but eloquent speech. The procession then moved off, and after marching and countermarching again halted in front of the Court House. Msj. John B. Moore was called for and responded in a few brief remarks. At this juncture it was whispered around that Georgia had an able representative present in the person of Mr. George C. Grogan, a prominent member of the El , berton Bar. He was called for, and was introduced by H. G. Scudday, Esq. Mr. Grogran made a very happy speech.. Mayor Tolly, Messrs, H. G. Scudday, J. Belton Watson, W. H. Friersou, M. P. Tribble, Pi A. Wilhite, Foster Fant, P. K. McOully, F. O'Donnell, Col. Roberts and several others were called upon, each responding with appropriate remarks. The noise was so great that it was almost impossible to hear what was said. Each speaker was loudly and enthusiastically applauded. After the speaking the Chief. Marshnl - dismissed the procession, and for two hours afterwards the excitement and en? thusiasm continued. Everybody seemed ?wild with -joy. In short, the town was "painted red." Whrnr.we were leaving the Square the crowd was giving three hearty cheers for Cleveland, and three, groans for Blalne. The demonstration was a grand one, and the committee having it in charge are to be congratulated upon its success. . With the exception of the demonstration in 1876, we doubt if there ever was a more brlUiant occasion in Anderson. It will long be remembered. JUBILEK KOTES. ~~ There was only one accident during the evening. A man was run over by a horse and knocked down, but fortunately was .only slightly bruised. A number of colored Democrats took part in the demonstration. Dr. R. F. Divver, General Agent of the Geiser Company, is a small man, .there? fore ho can't yell very loud, so he brought out one of his new engines and whistled loud and long. Messrs. B. F. Cray too & Sons large win? dows were beautifully illuminated with candles. The Anderson Female Seminary board? ing-house presented, a beautiful sight .when the procession -passed there. The. windows were, brilliantly illuminated,, reflecting the sweet smiles of the crowd of young ladies on the front piazza. . Several drummers witnessed the de? monstration, and pronounced it a grand success. Everything passed off pleasantly, and everybody was in a good humor. Wo did not see or hear of a single row, not with-, stauding that considerable fire-water was imbibed.

His only remedy, and his only chance for independence and Erosperity, is to raiso his own hog and ominy, and make bis cotton his surplus crop. This doctrine may be considered stale, but it is true; and weshall continue to preach it." BRIEF MENTION. Cotton Beed now produces oil, bulter and lard.

Mr. Sam'l McCrary, an enterprising farmer residing near Autun, in this Coun? ty, has left at our office a few cotton seed o*f the Peterkin variety, which he has greatly improve!- From 1265 pounds of seed cotton of this variety he made 535 pounds of,lit it, which, we think, is an! extraordinary y ield. The seed are black; and af ter they pass through the gin there is scarcely n particle of lint left upon them. Mr. McCrary says a bushei of the seed weighed 42 pounds. The following persons from. Anderson County were awarded premiums at the Piedmont Fair at Greenville last week: Sample-*trgfer cane;1 J. H.

Drake, who resides about four and a half miles, from this city, on the Abbeville road, met with the misfor? tune of losing bis gin house and contents by fire. His gin and press and twelve bales of cotton, with a quantity of cotton seed, were burned. His loss, together with the loss of his customers, is esti? mated at about $1,200, on which there was no insurance. No work had been done at the gin since about 2 o'clock that after? noon, and as the gin was run by water power, it is believed that tho fire was the work of an incendiary. The Grand Jury of Hart County, Ga., in their Presentment to the recent session of the Court for that County, say: "Pro? hibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors in our County has done more to build up the moral, industrial and religious senti? ment than was hoped for by the most sanguinej and has also done more to less? en crime and give our citizens permis? sion to walk on a higher plane of civili? zation than they have ever enjoyed be? fore." Our Grand Jury could make a similar report, if the people of Anderson County will vote for prohibition. Mr. Runaround was out late tho other night, and the next morning at breakfast, in order to 'justify" himself, he remark? ed to his Wifei '.'My Hear, we have been married twenty years, and you look al? most as young as yon aid then.'* "You have not changed a particle," she re? sponded, sweetly. "Not changed 1" he answered in surprise, remembering his gray locks and ruby nose. "Why, how can you say that?" "Because things pre? served in alcohol never change," she an-! swered. Mr. R. buttered his napkin ring, ander the impression that it was a muffin, and the meal progressed in silence. A little one-horse show, calling itself "Frank Stowe's United Shows," exhibit? ed in this city last Monday. The big pic? tures on several walls in the city had at? tracted the attention of everybody for more than a week past, and of course the news spread rapidly over the County that a big(?) show was to be here. At an early hour Monday morning a crowd came in from every direction, and by 11 o'clock the streets were jammed and crammed with a surging mass of colored people, comparatively few white people being among them. Nearly every negro in the County must have been here. All of them, were apparently circus hungry. We think the greater portion of the crowd came to see a grand street parade, for when the hour arrived for that to take place, and only four or five dirty, slouohy looking men, blowing as many old worn out instruments, marched around, every? body seemed badly sold, disappointed and disgusted. We did not attend the exhibition, therefore can say nothing about it. The confectioneries and saloons did a good business. Coroner Nanco held an Inquest over the remains of Mr. W. M. McMurtry, son of Mr. W. H. McMurtry, of Garvin town? ship, last Monday afternoon. From the evidence it seems that Mr. McMurtry had been visiting in his neighborhood on Sunday night, and in returning home he had to cross Three-and-Twenty Creek at Passmore's bridge. After crossing the* bridge, on the North side there is a lagoon of water in the road for a hundred yards or more, which is about two feet deep the year around. Mr. McMurtry was sub? ject to epileptic fits, and it. is supposed that whilo riding through this lagoon he was seized' with a fit and fell oil and was drowned. The mule he was riding was met in the* road about a mile from the stream by a friend of the young man. This caused some uneasiness, and .search was immediately made for Mr. McMurtry, which resulted in finding his body in the water. Tho verdict of the jury rof in? quest was in accordance with these facts. Mr. McMurtry was about 22 years uld, and his sad death has greatly bereaved a host of friends, who deeply sympathize with his grief stricken family. The Market.

Editor Anderson Intelligencer': In what I have to say in these few lines prohibition and temperance will be taken as meaning the same thing. In speaking of those who oppose temperance I do not refer to those who keep bar-rooms, nor to those who are so blinded by intoxicants as not to be able to see any force in any argument that might be offered in favor of prohibition ; but refer to those gentle? men who, as they may see fit, frequent bar-rooms and drink. Also to those who do not use intoxicants, and yet will take no stand against the licensing and sale of whiskey. Of course they are in favor of the sale of liquor, or presumed so to be, at least. Now, as to tho first of these, those who frequent these saloons and drink, it is not hard to see their inconsistency. Can it be supposed that these gentlemen would stand by unconcerned and see their sons or their clerks go to these places as often as they do? No, indeed. But if it is wrong for one to go, why not wrong for . the other ? It has come to bo a fact that no farmer wants a laborer who drinks, and no merchant will have a clerk if he know that clerk to be a regular drinker, or that be frequents bar-rooms. Now, where is there any consistency in their doing what they think makes a subordinate unde? sirable and actually untrustworthy ? In passing I would like to ask this ques? tion : If drinking and drunkenness un? fits a. man-for a place on the railroad, or. for a clerkship in a store, or for being a bank officer, why is it that those who run ? our State and County affairs persist in thinking that drunkards, or at least drink ? ing characters, can be safely intrusted with these very important interests? But to return. There are those who do not think saloons proper places for them to go; they see clearly that they cannot bear the expense of frequent drinking, and further they will not employ those who go to such places or drink. And yet these same men will do nothing to re? move what to them would bean evil, and to others must be a severe temptation. Persons in business bring young men here into the midst of new and trying scenes, where they must be greatly tempt-, ed, and yet I am told that some of these business men.will-not even sign a paper to ask for a vote oh this important ques? tion, in order that others may try to close up these places of enticement, and put an end to this unholy business. As far as getting signers for the petition- is con? cerned, I am thankful to say that over twice as many names as were needed have been gotten. But how can the per? sons above referred to fail to see thoir in? consistency. They believe and sny that the sale of whiskey is an evil, and yet will render no assistance in trying to re? move the evil. I have written the above not to censure or complain, but to try to persuade those ^Who are otherwise so excellent, to aban? don a course which brings harm, and only barm, to themselves and sets such a hurt? ful example to the rising generation. And further to try to induce one and all, to belp in removing this monster evil from our land. J. W. W. Good Things Cannot be Told too Often, Great many people who read this will no doubt make up their minds to try the store which positively sells the best for the least, the very first time they come to town.

Some eight years ago I was inoculated with poison by a nurse who infected my babe with blood taint.

I was covored with sores and ulcers from head to foot, and in my great extremity I prayed to die. No language can express my feelings of woe during those long six years.

C, the celebrated trotting horse, (named after his owner J. I. Case, Esq.,) was recently entered at Prospect Park, Brooklyn, to low? er his own record of 2.10, so as to beat "Maud 8," Vanderbilt's great mare, the fastest animal on record, and whose time was 2.09J. The ex? citement was intense, 6,000 people having assembled to witness the contest, every one being eager and expectantly looking for the favor? ite to appear. At about 3 o'clock p. m. 4,J. I. C," amid tremendous applause, came down the track, passing the Grand Stand of the Judges, throwing first one ear and then the other forward, as if in re? cognition of the cheering of the crowd, then passing once around the race course, just to get warmed upandpreparehimself fortherace, the excitement running higher eve? ry minute, until "He is off! He is off!" echoed through the crowd. And sure enough, he was off!
