E. B. HVBBAY, Editor.. THURSDAY, MAY 7. 18*6. TBRMBi ONE TEA1U...~-..?1.00. 8IX MONTHS. 78c. Two Dollar? IC not paid In nd vance. The President bas appointed Judge John E. Bacon, of Columbia, Charge dc Affairs for Paraguay and Uraguay. Judge Bacon was recommended by the entire South Carolina Congressional delegation, and his appointment will be recognized as a suitable one by all of our people. He is an accomplished and able gentle man, and possesses especial qualifies' ions for tho work assigned him. Col. Thomas Slobo Farrow, of Spar tanburg, has been appointed Chief of Division in thc office of the Sixth Audi tor of tho Treasury, with instructions to report for duty May 21, at a salary of $2,000 per annum. The many friends of Coi. FV.rrow will be gratified at this appointment. He is a most accurate and officient officer, and will discharge the duties of bis new position with fidel ity AMI ability. The Augusta Chronicle and Conslitu tionalitt bas displayed a wonderful amount of enterprise and research in the publication of its Centennial edition of the Chronicle, which is composed of six teen pageti of well written reminiscences of Augusta and its surroundings, during tho past one hundred yearn. The Citron ide ls one of our most rallied exchanges. It is always high in the tone and charac ter of its utterances, and ?B an ornament to the world of journalism. We hope it may live to celebrate its milleoium, and that ita prosperity may measure up with its high merit. Senator Eustis, of Louisiana, Uko a spoilod child, is abusing Proaident Cleve land because the latter has not seen proper to make the Senator Deputy President, as it wero, for Louisiana. Mr. Eustis will only injure himself by the exhibition of such arrogance. Until he can show that the President has done something worse than merely to prefer some other man for office than Mr. Eustis wants, he can make nothing out of at tacking the President. The country wants good officers, and it cares very little whether those officers are friendly to Mr. Eustis or not. Tho President, so far, seems to be supplying the wants of the people, though he hos failed to meet Mr. Eustis's wants. 4 _ M The Greenville Newt, replying to our remarks lest week about its making us allude to Anderson where we had referred to Edgefield, says : "Wo are only care ful about quotations, esteemed contempo rary, when the source is important. We confess to occasional carelessness about small matters." This is a complacent way of getting out of a trifling mistake, but is not in accordance with the facts. The Newe did not make a quotation in the sense of a copy of the words used by the INTELLIGENCER, but made a state ment of fact as to what was in an article in thia paper. If our contemporary moana to admit that it is careless about the way in which it states its facts, then its predictions will bo about os valuable as ita statements of fact. Th'j European situation has changed materially in the lost week, and'it now appears that England and Russia will s?bmlt their differences to arbitration. The King of Denmark lo supposed to be the neutral sovereign upon whom tbe two countries will agree to decide between them. Everything, however, is uncer tain, and those are not wanting who think the pacific measures under consid eration are being employed by crafty diplomats to gain time in which to pre pare for war. ' The outlook for peace now is better, at any rate, than it has been since the trouble arose, and we hope tbe end will justify the hope that tho danger of war ls rapidly disappearing, lt is a comfortable, fooling for our people that are raising their own supplies to feel that they'are safe Whether there be war or peace. They, aro in an independent po sition, while our all-cotton farmers must . have many anxious days yet beforo they have the doubts as to their crop outcome solved. "} '. '? . _. . ' '. j The- appointment pf Maj. Jauh ea JJ. Morgan, to the. consulate at Melbourne, with a salary of $4,600* has created quite a a ti r ! a this S ta tc, from th? fact that ho r/M n supporter pf Blaine In tho recent election, r.nd j from the further fact, that bia appointment'?3 credited to this State, whiib' MK. Morgan1 has for years been a resident pf. New York,' where' he wrote a pamphlet. last year urging Blaine's elco-, tion to tho Presidency. . Maj.-Morgan is a brother-in-law Of Capt. F. W.Dawfcou, of tho, News and Courier, hud it lr enid his appointment ,, wai. made upon the. personal application j of - Capt.. Dawsosj endorsed by our Senators. Wo do not seo os much' of anational'issue in the appointment aa some, of our exchanges do. It is always bad policy, we think, for fl 'Dem ocr?tic'administr?t ion to ap point Republicans to represent it in im portant foreign positions, to tba csclu eton of wien who served the Democracy in the hoar of its peril ; but Capt. Daw* spa has. rendered, the party distinguished service since 1876, and if ho ch oso to abdicate bis personal claims- for recogni tion, ;aml give hts.influence to his con ced?an, who seems to have been e ??p porter of Blaine, nnd tho President knowing this was willing to pay Capt. Dawson ?hs . complimcht cf respect i og his . request to' this extent, we do not sea that any? ceasiAro eau oe attached to tho IrinaacUoa; provided, of course, that he ii a competent and suitable m&u for tho poait?eh.' -The character of. the men who <?n&tMftr1 Mm ar? t?^MtW- fihmv of Maj. Morgan could not bave been asked as from South Carolina by Capt. Dawson or either of out Senators. The fact that tho application was made by South Carolina men doubtless led to the mistake of crediting him to this State AU of tho parties to tho transac tion owe it to themselves to have Maj. Morgan credited to the State of which he is a citizen. Of courso it is wrong in principle and bad in policy to appoint men to office from one State when thoy live in another. It is totally at variance with the spirit of our government. It is a practico which was established by the Republicans, and should be abolished by the Democrats. A DOUBTFUL 8ALUTK. A Washington dispatch of the fourth in L says : To-day tho President, Secretaries Endi cott and Whitney and Postmaster-General Yilan accompanied tho veterans of tho Army of the Potomac to tho Gettysburg battlefield. The President und his party arrived from Gettysburg at a quarter past nine o'clock this evening. When the return ing train was near Mount Hope station, Mci., about 8 o'clock this evening, three fdstol shots wero heard in rapid success on as from a revolver, and the flash wo* seen within two or three feet of the mov ing train. It is probable that some enthusiast had devised this method of celebrating the passage of tho President, and that the demonstration WBB only in tended as a 8aluto. It created some amusement, and gave rise to some jocu lar comment among the passengers, but since tho return of the train the rumor bas spread through the city that the President was shot at. UNHEUITBD OBITICIflH. The Columbia Reguter nay ?i : "It is safe to say that Mr. Bayard bas suffered serious loss in the respect and confidence of Democrats in all parts of tho Union. The storm of criticism which has befallen tho new Secretary for treating bis high office as his own per sonal property, ontitling timo to bestow positions and preferments on bis personal favorites to tue exclusion of other;;, in just what be deserves. This sharp criti cism of Mr. Bayard's course, it is Baid, is approved by his Cabiuot associates. People nearer borne may profit by Mr. Bayard's example with much advantage to themselves. Everybody is about tired of this sort of thing, and ere going to HIIOW their teeth about it." We do not think this kind of criticism of Secretary Bayard ?B well founded, 01 that it ia approved by our people. Il was not to be expected that the new ad' ministration would correct the errora o! twenty-four years of Republicanism without making some mistakes, but wt submit that no single act has yet beer committed by Secretary Bayard or Pres! dent Cleveland that is discreditable lc their honor or their ability. Tho idei that Mr. Bayard is UBing his position tc favor bis personal friends ?B preposterous All of tho important positions in tin State Department are appointed by thi President. Of course, in making ap pointmenta the administration, wbetbe it be one of the Secretaries or the Pres ident, must rely upon the endorsemen and recommendation of other people This country ls too large for any one o any one dozen men to attempt to ap point of their individual preference ti tho many offices in the gift of the gov ernmont. They must take the advice o other people, and doubtless they tnki the advice of their friends in filling ap poiotmeuts. They would be silly to ad vise with their enemies. In this the; will make some mistakes, but those mis takes will be credited by nu inteliigen people to the men who recommend th appointments, moro than to those v/h make them. While there hate BO fa been some annoyances in making ap pointmenta, there has been notbinj which has damaged either the country o the Democratic party. The policy of th new administration bas been conservati v and wise. It commands, we believe both the confidence and the respect o the peoplo of the United States. The politicians who are disappointei in getting office are doubtless diasatia 6ed end wast "to sher their teeth," ,bu the people only care for honest, compe tent and courteous officers, and as lon; ns the new administration gives then men of this character, the growling wil be confined to the disgruntled place hunters. The new administration doubt lens is prepared for criticism, and will, o ooaree, be criticised.

The Wi?y the Froyle Used Whiskey In the Good Old Days of Long ARO. MB. EDITOK : The subject matter of License sud no License, Prohibition and no Prohibition, is going at such a rate that I feel like I would bo glad if I had the language and intelligence tu write a few lines for your columns, provided they could get a place there. To begin with, I will endorse what our Beuator, Maj. J. II. Moore, has said in the third place os to his views on the subject, in the INTELMOESCEK of the 12th of February lost. Fellow-citizens, I will say I was young aud now I am old, and I will speak that 1 do know aud testify lo that I have ?ccu. That to-day I could point out end show the very ?pot of ground on which stood threo or four still-bouses fifty years ago, within three or four miles of each other. Well, what next? In all of these places whiskey was made, and brandy when there was a fruit crop. These distilleries were allowed to make aud sell any quantity above a quart without any tax or licouso to make or sell. Very frequently people would carry in corn and have it distilled on shares-one-half for tho other-carry it home and use it whenever they chose. In those days, old Kock Mills was a business place. In connection with tho mill was a cotton gin, wagon shops, smith shops, tailor shop, still-house and store in which spirituous liquors were kept and sold. This place wan carried on by Maverick & Lewis. At that day and timo a retail business in spirits paid a small tax. Well, how did things go on at Rock Mills? I can tell you, and no mistake about it. Occasionally you might see a few of older men a little tight, once and a whilo ono drunk. Sometimes a little list and skull fight, but no harm dono. Such a thing as a young man getting drunk was seldom known. Well, now lot mo tell you n little about the way of managing and carry ing on things and business in tho neigh borhood in reference to whiskey or liquor. It was hardly ever otherwise if a man had any thing to do, and needed and asked some of his neighbors to help him, in ninety-nine cases out of one hundred that man would have a jug of whiskey on hand, and it made no difference whether a man had a house-raising, a log-rolling, a corn-huBking or what else, the work was. done and the whiskey was drank, and a drunk man on those occa sions was a rare case. I have been present on many of the above named occasions when a number of persons present would not drink a single drop. I will ask the question, how is it now, and why is it BO that BO many of our people, old and young, in the church and out of the church, aro given up and addicted to thin useless and wicked habit of drunkenness. I don't know that I can give the true answer to the question I have asked, but I know of no better rule in this matter than to judge tho future by the past. Now, what is some of the past. For a number of years back there nave been many organizations, or bodies associated together called temperance socioties. I have said called temperance societies, and still say the uamo thing. My honest and humble opinion is, that moro than one-half of the male member* of these associations are drinking people, to a greater or less degree ; ana furthei my opinion is. to make a broad sweep, that every effort, plan or Boheme that has beon resorted to and adopted baa only aggravated and increased the abuse ol spirits in our land. I bsse my opinion thus on the grouud of free agency. You may reason, argue or persuade a man to do most anything, but whenever you say to your friend or neighbor he shall do sc and so, wbethor he Tikes it or not, thal very moment that mau will renolve nol to do that very thing, unless the civil law forces him. So you see, fellow-citi zens, that all these plans and schemer adopted for the cause of temperance sayi indirectly to those that take a little toe much occasionally, that we will make you quit drinking by having it put out o; your reach. And does not the single fact of the bar-keepers at Anderson being taxed to the enormous sum of $500 oi $6,00 per annum, prove to a demonstra tion that the same amount or more ii used. Is the cause of temperance bene fited or improved? I say il is not. and 1 will say mnr? thss that, I don't believe il ever will be any belter, so long as pm people follow their present course. In conclusion, from what I have eaid some may come to the conclusion that ] know a remedy for this great evil-in temperance. I call it an evil, aud so thc abuse of spirits is a great evil indeed. 1 do not know that I have a remedy foi thU great evil. If I were to give my views and Ideas on thia subject, in ordei to remedy, thc evils connected with th? abuse of spirits, the great majority ol the people of Anderson County would be struck with wonder and surprise tc hear such views or ideas coming from i roan of my age and standing in the com munlty and In tho church. Not at al boaating of roy standing in State oi church, although I feel proud, .and J think thankful, that I'occupv an honora ble place amongst Wen ena in society I mean, I am a sober man, Wei), whs are some of my notions and ideas on th< subject r The first thing to do would b< to not only allow the sale of snirituoui liquor;? within the corpora ted limita o Anderson City, but allow it to be mad? and sold in Anderson County by any om that chose to make it-just aa it wa forty ot fifty years ago; That was tb right and' privilege of our. people lt thoso days,and itu, I believe, the jus right of the people to-day. But thi right oi making and selfing hes beei taken from the people qf tte County and tho salo oi whiskey exclusive!; given to the incorporation of Andersoi City-the very-last place bi the Chant, it ought to be sold. Well, what is tb result? If there ia any one that don' know I cnn tell von in half s minute There is none in the country, every on knows; that very few ere ebie to-bu and keep it at home st present price: So you ?es whiskey is about as scarce a hens* teeth, sud wheo s great many c ou r people go to Anderson on bnsinesi as most of oar people do occasion al I j those that ere disposed to drin at all very often tako a little too mao! from the met that they have not had sn for some time, and may not get any moi for some time to come, and th finit thing a great mauy 'mon know I they ste tight, and find themselves 1 tho calaboose, with a fino of $10 tops] sod sometimes more. Let us take a view of thu subjectfiroi another stand-point, to wit? The Bibi which ia tho only infallible rule of fait and practice. Now jest let any ma 7? nere made bv Him, and without Him waa not anything made tbat waa made. Now, tho B?ole teaclie.4 all tbrougb tbat ?God created heaven, earth, B?as and all tbat io them it, and without Him was not anything made that waa made. Weil, now the question naturally comes up. who made whisky first in our world ? Whisky is apart of what exists in this world, and some one, finite or infinite, must have made it or produced it some way or other. I don't know who made tho first drop of whisky that ever wat made, and I don't suppose there ia a man on this earth that does know, but 1 have no doubt thorc are many persons of our day aud time that would pretend to know ?11 about it, and would at once say it was and is tho work or works of thc Devil. That may bo so, for aught I know, and if so neither Ibo Devil nor auy one else could have doue it without being permitted ic dc r.e. I den'i Lor.w aoy placo in the Bible that Jesus Chi iel gave any direct instruction or command, in so many words, to make whisky, brandy, rum or giu ; but it is no trouble to fi ml the place where Jesus Christ was pre8CDt at a marriage festival and turned water into wino for the uso and accom modation of that occasion. Now, I will ask, what is wine ? 1 don't know that 1 can answer tho question logically. I will say, however, that wine is a liquid, aud is used as a drink or for drinking. In a common HCCBO it is used in a special seu?o in the administration of the Lord's Suppar in the Christian Church. I believe wine is not considered a spirit, and if any one will take the trouble to turn to the Cth chapter and 3rd verse of the book of Numbers, they will find tho word liquor used, having reference to what has been made or pro duced from the grape. Wino is not con sidered a spirit in the same nenne tbat whisky, brandy and other liquors are. but if a man drinks enough of it, it will make him as drunk a9 anythiog else in the world. If this be so, will any one pretend to suy there would be more guilt and crime in being drunk on whisky than there would be on wine ? I Bay, then, that wine is a good thing, I say whisky is a good thing in their right and proper places^ just as water, fire, or any other blessing heaven has bestowed on us for our use and comfort. Is not a good warm Sro a good thing to sit around on a cold day ? or is not a cool draught of water on a warm day, when we are warm and thirsty, a good thing ? Every ono is ready at ouce to answer these questions in the affirmative. Let us now reverse the case. If a man were to plunge himself headlong into the ocean without any just cause, knowing there would be no escape, would not that bo destruction to that man? It certain ly would. So with fire, so with wine, and so with whisky. So I am fully per suaded it is neither the water, fire, wine nor whisky that will destroy us. Our own impropriety in tho use of any of these things .jay do the work. I very often think that a great many of our warmest and strongest advocates for Tempor?neo Associations and prohi bition movements, have not read their Bibles very much, or at least not very carefully. The Bible is full, in various places, plain and explicit upon wine and strong drink ; recommending the use of these things in a right and proper way ; forbidding the improper uso and abuse of them. If I were a prohibition ist I would go just os strong against wine as whisky. If the one is right the other is not wrong. Whisky is just as harm less as wine, if you do not abuse it. I say, a man is not ordinarily bound to drink either wine or brandy. If a man of bis own accord drinks to excess and destroys bis own life, I say that man will j be responsible to God for his own de struction. I have heard men say tbe man that made or gave tbat man the whisky that killed bim, will have to account for the death or destruction of that soul. I don't believe it. It is not tho act of a man that makes bim out a murderer. It muBt be from mallice aforethought-pre meditated. I might in some way or other, as well call it by accident, kill a man as dead as a hammer, and there would be no murder. So if I were to make wbisky from pure and honest motives, that it might be useful and ben eficial to mankind, and some men drank it and killed themselves, I would not be guilty of their death. I will clone these very awkward and scattering remarks by saying that I have not the most distant desire or expecta tion of getting into a dispute or argu ment with any person on this subject or any other, but I am afraid our people are going to do something that they will be norry for wheo it will be too late. I would recommend onr peoplo to read the ?iece nut in the INTELLIGENCER of Feb. 2, 1885, by our worthy and honorable Senator, J. B. Moore. Major Moore has certainly bit the nail plumb and square on the head. JAB. MCLEES. Temperance in the Orange. MB. EDITOR : By your permission I will call to the notice of the severe Granges of Anderson County the im portance of the discussion of the Tem perance question in tho Granges, both Duh ordinate and associate. We are through the discussion of the subject of fertilisers and compost heaps for this Spring, and have decided on what crops we will plant, and the mode of cultiva* tion, and the most ol os, I believe, have determined to make our farms selfsus taining, if we are blessed with health and favorable rains. This, it seems to me, ts a favorable time for the members of all : the Granges in this County to discuss the Temperance question, and discuss it thoroughly, for the good, of the people generally, and determine by what course they will Induce our Representa tives to no tico and act upon a petition sent * to them. And if a petition with twelve hundred and-nine names is not enough; swell it to taree times that number. I use the word wo and tint, because I consider every true Granger a temperate man or woman, and one that duse not claim to know all, but cae that j ia open tojeonviction on all questions for the good of tho people at large, and one that after patiently viewing all the good and evil of any Important question, wBl decide and act in such a manner that they will be noticed. What say youT I want to hear from others. ? GRANGER. A Blast frees Bast?s. ..The newspapers are bnsl..- discussing an interview telegraphed fi om New Or lil In which Senator Bustle, ot Louis* isas, denounces President Cleveland and bis Cabinet and declares that he will fight in tho Senate the policy now being pursued by Cleveland. 44Mr. Clevelaad," says tho Senator, "has been s conspicu ous and humiliating fallare. This Ad ministration was commenced with a se ri's of blunders. The question now is ant sections. It ie now no longer a mat ter of the distribution of offices and Gov ernment patronage, b?t a question of party principle, ?nd the Democratic ele* meut will soe to it that the Administra tion ie Democratic in the full significance of the term, or that Mr. Cleveland and bis Cabinet shall fall and be buried in the ruins they have made." Tho Washington Star says : This de claration of war against the Administra tion on the part of Senator Eustis is the outgrowth of the failure of himself and the Democratic faction bo representa to control tbe Federal patronage of Louisi ana. Senator Eustis ia identified with what is called by ita opponents the "Riug Democracy" of Louisiana. This faction is dominated by tho State officers, and for a long time it bad almost abso lute political away in Louisiana. With in the Innt few years a pretty strong Dcmc-rGt'.c opposition to tue ruling ele ment has grown up, including some of tho most prominent Dem?crata of thc State. Soon after the inauguration of Tresident Cleveland the Federal patron age of the State was claimed for the dominant faction, but this claim was not undisputed. Thc "bosses" particularly wanted to coutrol tho customhouse and ita patronage. By tboso who were not of the machine faction ex-Sonutor Jouas was recommended for the collector of the port aa a man of high character, admit ted ability, and who would conduct the office upon a higher plano than mero par tisan necessity might dictate. Senator Eustis and his co-laborers particularly objected to Mr. Jonas, but tho latter was heartily endorsed by nearly all the lead ing business men of New Orleans, by Senator Gibson and other party leaders. Finally, when it was quite well known that the appointment of ex Seuator JonaH had been determined upon Sena tor Eustis went home. The ruling faction Beemed to regard the control of Federal patronage in the State as neces sary to their continued ascendancy, a? the opposition bas been steadily increasing. Senator Eustis was first chosen by the Democrats in 1872 as United States Sen ator, but a contest arose with \V. P. Kellogg for the seat aud bo was not ad mitted until 1877. He waa n candidate for re-election, but Mr. Jonas was chosen by the Legislature. Mr. Eustis succeed ed last year in defeating Senator Jonas for the current term. Another fact in connection with the political situation in Louisiana which is said to have influenced Senator Justis is tbiB : It seems that tho Legislature to be elected next year will choose succes sors to both Senators Gibson and Suatia. This comes about under the new Consti tution, which provides for tho election of a Legislature every four years. So that Mr. Eustis scarcely enters upon his sen atorial term when he bas to begin look ing after bis succession. Louisiana Dem ocrats say that he fears the candidacy of ex-Senator Jonas, who was only beaten by a single vote in the last contest, and hence Eustis objects to Jonas being placed in a position of power. The Eustis interview was a general theme of comment in political circles to-day. The general expression was that the Senator had made a mistake. "Eustis is a fool," said a Louisiana Democrat of prominence. "The truth is that he stauds alone in the Congres sional delegation. The entire delegation except Eustis represent the reform De mocracy of Louisiana. They represent the best elements of the State. The President is u reformer, and ho chooses to sustain the progressive and reform wing of the party." - Three men in York County killed forty-seven squirrels in two days last week. - Bragg B.

It it a fad, known to everybody, that if ire Aar? a ?? Hu mor in the. [Blood, it is almost sure to break out in the Spring months in Emma, Erythema, Tetter, Ring Worm, Splotches on face, <i-c.,d:c. Now, the reason for this is generally supposed to be the change of the seasons, and u want of abstinence from food. During the Winter, when the weather is bitter cold, we eat a great deal of grease-especially hog meat. Our whole systcvi becomes, as it were, permeated and clogged up with our heavy diet, and when Spring comes, and hot weather begins, very few of us are careful in our eating, continuing the same heavy articles of diet, that art oidy fit for bitter cold weather, when, in fact, we should eat very little until our system becomes acclimatized to the hot weather. Most people understand that they have lo take a dose of Pills or Calomel, or something of the kimi, ta prepare the system jor the Spring and Summer ; and most of them now know that to prevent the "Spring Rashes,' Boils, etc., they must take some kind of Blood Purifier-such as SARSAPA RILLA, with IODIDE POTASSIUM or QUEEN'S DELIGHT and IODIDE PO TASH, or SARSAPARILLA and YELLOW DOCK-which latter is made and highly re commended by Lamar, Rankin & Lamar, of At?anta. Or 8UCCUS ALTERAN8, which is a very fine and efficacious remedy, or some of the Patent Medicines, which are very highly recommended by the parties who made them. Now, we always keep on hand a good stock of the above remedies, and many others, for th: diseates of Spring and Summer.
