B. B. MURRAY, Editor. MSSBayTsEPT. 10, 1885. TBRMS: E TEAT. ....._..,.....?..........._81,50. MONTHS........ 75c. Dollars If not paid In advance. HAL, MATTER. We take this occasion to reiterate each and every statement made by the Editor of this piper in the speech which he made at Flat Bock on last Saturday, in reply to Maj. Moore. We proved by Tessra. Backer, Scndday and Clinkscales that Maj. Moore lied when he charged the Intelligences with publishing a lie about the time necessary for a bill to ^passjihe Legislature, and we now brand him with it. He asserted that the In? telligences claimed that it was the people. We pronounce this statement a . wilfull, malicious and depraved lie. The files of the Intelligences will prove the truth-or falsity of this charge, and we challenge Maj. Moore to produce the article in which the claim he states was made. We will give him access to our files, and pay him or his agents one hun? dred dollars If they will find it. If they do-not produce it, the public will see that Maj. Moore stands duly convicted of lying. Now,;Maj. Moore talks glibly of cowards. Let us see where he ranks. We do not make these assertions in a Church, but utter and publish them j deliberately;, and' meaning what we say. Now, let us see how much of a bully our Senator can be. simply simpler. . The Anderson Journal replies as follows to the article in the Intelligencer last week: \ , "We have neither the space nor the ^inclination to reproduce the Intelli IGENCer's rambling, wriggliug, attenuated editorial of this week, nor to reply to it at length. After attempting to twist our first article into a tangle, and smearing it | over with suggestions as to what it might l^ taean, the Intelligencer's imperti : iience in alluding to the Journal at all "an connection with tbe matter of pro ion"''now merges' into impudence.

"j The sum of the whole matter is that j Intelligencer evidently concluded >t prohibition was popular, and then jSuck out to work it for all the notoriety '' .worth. It is welcome to all it can by such ignoble course, but if it **ain( any advantage over the promise to see it at Phi lip pi. iper that only represents the faspirations of its editor, as is fy of ?he Intelligencer in re B, caoflay-no claim to impartial and the hurrah of a dema flower of public opinion will not fSlakjen for the voice of a Reader." gjcle of the Journal, compared 3t attack on the Intelligen jply simpler. The Journalhza le idea of fair controversy, and ?resent only its side of a question aders. Therefore, it terms an rhich dissects its article, and it it is at heart opposed to pro [j?rambling, wriggling and atten )rial. It presented facts which it comfortable for the Journal to >lic, and therefore it very pru se to ask its readers to put up statement of the character of lligencer's position. When il says that> it has fully defined ion, it 3hows that it either wishes represent the facts or does not take a position. Its posi is that it does not want the people to low what its position is. It may have le approbation of many of our most eminent citizens, but what is the posi? tion tbey approve would be difficult to retain.. It neither expresses itself as prohibition or against it, but would ike for prohibitionists to think it favor t prohibition, and for s n t i-proh ibitionis ts 5 think it was opposed to prohibition, le Journal renews its accusation that he Intelligencer antagonized certain lembers of the Legislature on prohibi :-Uod. We repeat that the Intelligent had taken its position before tbe ?iure acted, and hence our antago* Dunted simply to maintaining our ya. ijfournal says that its record for the jrears makes our article go for stating our belief that the Uy ever takes position upon supon which there is public Ve may be wrong, but our that the Journal took no de End as to the Stock Law, and Jonejia to taxation to build the Savannah ley Kailroad. These, with prohibi i, have been tbe subjects upon which ?re was division and strong public feel ag in our midst. If wo have erred in ^rjrrawollection we will stand corrected ^if tho Journal will give ua the articles fefjie date^'In which it took sides in j||ta?efe. There have also been ?tf jn'jt matfera which it took no We denied the charge of being *'^r cock," and stated that the iarge Upon that jjoint was. We had and have no ~~-N other defense to it th?n~thaiJt-is not true, and the Journal knows it. The Imtelligencer has never done other? wise than favor prohibition whenever the people are ready for it, and no man can assert to the contrary without telling a malicious falsehood. The Journal is not consistent in its attack on the Intelligencer. It says .the Intelligencer favors prohibition because it thinks it is the popular side, and then again it contends that the In? telligencer agitated the question. Both of these charges Cannot bo true. If we began tbe fight we could not have known that it was the strongest side. The Journal has made a false accusation in one instance or the other. . When the Journal asserts thai the Intelligencer only represents the po? litical aspirations of its editor, it states a deliberate falsehood. The Intelligen? cer has never yet contained an article presenting its editor's claims for prefer? ment. It has seldom ever contained an article of compliment to its editor. It has contained tho candid views of its editor upon public questions, as plainly expressed as he could write them. It has frequently taken sides when it would have been better for its editor's personal interest for him to have done like the Journal does, "ride the fence;" but as we have frequently stated, as long as we conduct a newspaper we shall speak out our convictions upon all public questions which we deem of interest to onr readers. The Intelligencer neither cloaks nor dissembles its views. If this be the hurrah of a demagogue, then we would suggest to it to become like it. If it be not so, then the Journal has ooce more simply told a falsehood. The people can decide. AN EXTREME POSITION. The Greenville News gives the follow? ing extract from a speech made in- that County by Bev. H. F. Chrietzberg on the temperance question: "Now the State of South Carolina says it shall be unlawful for you to do a certain thing unless you first procure a license, and in order to get this license yon have to get six of your nearest neigh? bors to sign a petition that you are a man of good moral character. Did you ever see a moral bar-keeper? The good Book says judge a man by his fruits. Every? one who has signed such a petition puts his name to a lie. Bar-keepers have to sell their manhood, character and con? science. A man before entering this infamous business has to take from him? self every feeling of human nature. For ten cents he sells to his fellow man damnation and sinks-himself pretty low in the human scale. Between the two, the highway robber is the best, because he takes your life in an instant and you have your chance for entering Heaven. The bar-keeper who deals to yon the poisonous drug takes your life by degrees, and sends your soul to hell. *,-.,/< ? * # * * . "The liquor dealer is the.biggest liar outside the kingdom of the devil. I do not respect a bai-keeper as much as. I do a hog. I would drive by a hog in a mud hole and notice it with more respect than I would a whiskey deafer." When the Greenville News published this extract we thought surely it must be mistaken in its quotation, for tbe language imputed to the speaker is very extreme. It has not, however, been corrected, and therefore we presume it was correctly' reported. Those who oppose the liquor traffic should be more temperate in their reasons than those presented in this par- j agraph, or they cannot expect to accom? plish any good. There are bar-keepers whose lives violate no law of the State, and who discharge the duties of citizen? ship with much advantage to the com-; j munities in which they live. There are many of them who would spurn to tell a falsehood, or do an act that violates the lawB of society. We think their business is injurious to mankind, and that it should be prohibited by law wherever the people are ready for such prohibi? tion ; but where a community sees prop? er to license bar-rooms, we fail to perceive any propriety in such unmeasured de? nunciation of the men who simply avail themselves of the privilege which the community gives then. There are, we think, some very clever bat keepers and some very mean ones, but this much may be said of any other class of men. We have no sympathy for the liquor traffic. It ought to be abolished, but it can never be accomplished by unreason? able denunciation of men who conduct a business legalised by the laws of a Christian people. Mr. Chrietzberg might do a great deal better work, we think, by showing the evils growing out p." bar? rooms thau by abusing tho men who keep them. The people by their laws permit them to exist. If tbe law will abolish the right to sell whiskey, bar? rooms and bar-keepers will cease to exist. The people are responsible for their existence, und it id not reasonable to put the whole of the attack upon the men who only do what the law permits them J to do. The News and Courier endorses the views of the Italian Government as fol? lows: "Tho proposed action of the Italian Government looking to the pro? hibition of officials in the public service from acting as journalists shows that in this respect, at least, Italy is more en? lightened than this country. The public press should bo guarded from deteriora? tion and kept up to the highest standard by every possible means, and one way to accomplish this desirable end is to keep government offices and newspaper offices as distinct and separate as possible. It seems, however, to take a long time for the conviction to dawn upon the peo? ple of the United States that a newspa? per editor, who amounts to anything, is at his best in his uncomfortable chair in his little office." Our contemporary must bear in mind the fact that Italy is ruled by a monarch, while the United States is a free country. Here all citi? zens are equal in their right to exercise the privilege of suffrage and of holding office by the will of the people. Why editors should be made a criminal class, by taking from them the rights which every other citizen in the land possesses, does not clearly appear to U3. In fact, we differ with the News and Courier on this question. If the people choose to elect an editor to office, he ought not to be disqualified from serving because be has presided over a paper. A man who can conduct a paper well is not, thereby, made prima facie unfit to conduct any other business. We think it is a matter which must be regulated by individual editors and the voters, just as the par? ticipation of the members of any other class of our citizens in politics is regu? lated. All editors do more or less en? gage in politics. Even our friend Williams, of the Greenville New*, has yielded to the temptation, and is seeking the .position of Alderman, or meekly allowing the position to seek him, and the editor of our contemporary, the Ncwi 'and Courier., while enjoying* more disr tincMony wielding more power and re ceiving better compensation as editor of that most excellent journal than be could enjoy in most of the political po? sitions of the country, did not hesitate to promote the interest of a connection by securing his appointment to a good office. That is participating in politics in both instances. Other editors might prefer to seek a different office from brothei Williams, or to pursue a differ? ent course from our able and efficient contemporary of the News and Courier. The editor of a political newspaper is more or less thrown into the current of politics. We do not think that the pub? lic service is benefited by office seeking from any source, and if our contempo? rary could devise some scheme by which public office could seek the man instead of the heated canvasses which we have in this country, we believe tbe public in? terest would be greatly promoted, but we do not think any class distinctions should be established. The Augusta Chronicle and Constitution? alist says that about three-fourths of tbe Georgia Legislature are said to save about three-fourths of their pay. They are expert financiers, but poor politicians to let the fact be known. Such large profits from the office must add largely to the number of candidates for the Legisla? ture in that State. John Sherman is seeking to revive sectional prejudice and passion in Ohio in order to carry that Stale for the Re? publicans this fall. Gen. Grant in his last illness among other things said: ('I am thankful for the providential extension of my time to enable me to continue my work. I am further thank? ful, and in a much greater degree thank? ful, because it has enabled me to see for myself the happy harmony which so suddenly sprung up between those en? gaged but a few short years ago in deadly conflict." Grant was a soldier in time of war, and hence he could afford to be a civilian in time of peace. John Sher? man was a civilian in time of war?it is not strange therefore, that he now seeks to prove bis valor by fighting constant battles of words in time of peace. Such speeches as Sherman's show how utterly void of vitality the old Republican party has grown. Its chief issue to day is one of hate to the South. We will see wheth? er the dead lion's sentiments of reconcil? iation are not more powerful in our country than the bowlings of tbe living hyena. The Greenville News pours oil on the troubled waters of Anderson journalism in the following manner: Editor Todd, of the Andersou Journal, and Editor Murray, of the Andersou In? telligencer, have locked horns on the prohibition question, They have now reached tbe point where Editor Todd has called Editor Murray a "hobby-rider" and a "weather-cock" and Editor Murray has in cold and formal type and phrase? ology denounced bis esteemed brother as having written, printed, circulated, pro? mulgated and uttered knowingly and wilfully a falsehood. As these good brethren live in the same town and are constantly brought face to face it is not likely that personal combat can be long avoided. We suggest that they have the affair decently and in order and set time and place. A small admission fee might be charged, the proceeds to be devoted to some charitable purpose or to the solace of the winner, very few of our people can go to Baltimore to see the Sullivan Ryan fight, and an excursion train to Anderson on the day appointed for a culmination of the Murray-Todd diffi? culty will, we are sure, be liberally pat? ronized. The brethren are about of a size and one is a blonde and the other a brunette. These facts will add interest to tbe occasion. Whether the above Bug? gestions are adopted or not, we hope one of our esteemed contemporaries will at least drop a postal card to the News office to give notice of when the fight is expected to be. We want to see it if i nobody else does> The Cotton Outlook. New Orleans, September 3.?Tbe monthly report of tbe National Cotton Exchange says of tbe growing crop: "For the first time this season reports show a- deterioration in the crop, pros? pects, but shedding has beeu so preva? lent during the greater portion of August that excepting Virginia and Florida no State has held its former rating. Rust and worms have also done some harm. Bottom lands complain of excessive rains, and tbe cessation thereof would do much toward bringing those sections up. Drought has been the trouble on the up? lands and throughout the greater part of Texas, but, in the latter State particular? ly, timely showers have fallen quite re cently in many localities, and the pros? pects have accordingly brightened in the districts so favored. Labor as a rule is sufficient and is working well. Taken altogether the crop has met with a re? verse, but favoring seasons from now on with a late freeze would go far toward compensation. For the reasons above stated tbe percentage has been reduced from 97 at the end of July to 91 now. Appended arc the State averages: Vir? ginia, 91; North Carolina, 9; South Car? olina, 89; Georgia, 94; Florida, 92; Alabama, 94; Tennessee, 91; Arkansas, 89; Mississippi, 91; Louisiana, 90; Tex? as, 90; average for belt, 91. ? Tho largest farm In the world is in Canada. This is the ' Bell farm," be? longing to the Qu'Appelle River Farm? ing Company. This farm consists of 5-4,000 acres, of which 13,000 acres are under close cultivation. The average yield of the whole 13,000 acres is 25 to 30 bushels of wheat per acre. On one of the best sections of 1,000 acres the yield is 85,000 bushels of wheat. Every 200 acres has upon it a cottage with a man living in it, rent free, having charge of three horses. ? Mrs. W. H. Lackey of Alexander County, North Carolina, killed a chicken a few days ago, and while cleaning it found in its gizzard a largo green stone which proved to be a valuable emerald. Professor Hidden, an expert, says tho gem is worth uncut at least a thousand dollars. A Walking Skeleton, Mr. B. Springer, of Mc.hanicsburg, Pa., writes: ''I was afllicted with lung fever and abscess on lungs, and reduced to a wulkintj skeleton. Got a l'roo trial bottlo of Dr. King's Now Discovery for Consump? tion, which did mo so much good that I bought a dollar bottlo. After using three bottles, found myself once more a man, completely restored to health, with a hearty appetite, and a gain in flesh of 48 lbs." Call at Hill Bros. Drug Store and get a free trial bottle of this certain euro for all Lung Diseases. Large bottles $1.00. A LITTLE GOLD WAS SPENT. Mr. Z. A. Clark, of Atlanta, Qa., in speaking of $-180.00 in gold, desires to say to the readers of this paper, that the wholo of tho above amount was spent in i a fruitless effort in finding relief from a torrible Blood Poison affectiug his body, limbs and nose?presenting ugly ruuniug ulcers.

Purchaser to' pay extra for papers. W. W. HUMPHREYS, Master. JSept 10^1885 _ 9_4_ Nothing but the Truth. Mr. Editor : We are nor approaching the harvest-lime of our Summer crops. Providence has singularly blessed us all In various ways this season. It delights the eye of even the wayfaring man to view the wide-spreading fields of corn and cotton which deck this sunny land of ours from its four corner*. Prosperity stares us in the face The rains continue to come? com and cotton to grow. Everybody is happy, and verily we have many things to be thankful for; yet there is one thing none of us seem to appreciate as wc ought, and it is that in order to be prosperous in this world a man must be as careful in saving as he is in making. For instance, the Fruit Crop is short, and yet there will be enough wasted in this County this sea? son to feed a regiment of hungry soldiers six months. If our people would go to the little expense, and less trouble, of securing a package of this Fruit Preserver from Hill Bros., they could keep all the fruit ! and vegetables they didn't need this Sum? mer for next Winter, thereby saving great expense and providing a luxury for them? selves and family. There is no doubt but tlmt the prepara? tion will do what is claimed for it. Some of our best people used it last year, and are using it, and recommending it to their friends, this season. We wish to see everybody prosperous, ' happy and comfortable, and would sug? gest that, in onlcr to be so, they must look closely after small matters. More anon. RUSTKJUS.
