E. B. ?1UKIIAY, Editor. THltRSOAY, APRIL 8, 18S0 TB RMS s ??NEYR?X. ..?1.50. SIX MONTHS. 75c. The Anderson correspondent of tho Augusta Sentinel announces that Maj. B. F. Whitner, of Andersou, will be a can? didate for Congress from the Third Con? gressional District of this. State, and speaks in confident terms of his chances for the nomination. We have also heard of one or two other prominent gentlemen iu Audersou County who are expected to run for this position. It is a little early to figure on such matters, but it is about time for Anderson County to have a showing iu this nomination. The nomination of Col. Wm. L Trenholm, as Comptroller of the Cur? rency, has been confirmed by the Senate, although a considerable opposition to him was developed, by the silver men on account of recent speeches of Col. Tren? holm upon the silver question?particu? larly his recent speech before the bank? ers' convention in which he spoke in de? cidedly harsh terms of the advocates of the preseut' silver coinage law. Col. Trenholm is an accomplished gentleman, and'thoroughly qualified for the duties of the position to which he has been appointed._ A case of considerable interest was tried in Greenville on last Saturday before Judge Witherspoon in the Court of Common Pleas. The wife of Jas. F. Harrison bronght suit against J. ?. Payne, a liquor dealer, for selling her husband whiskey after she had notified him not do so. The jury rendered a verdict for $125 for the plaintiff. This is believed to be the first case of the kind tried in the State under tbe statutes. If these suits were more frequent there would be less of the crime of selling whiskey to minors and intemperate per? sons. _ The Republicans are determined to capture the next Presidency, and to assist them in this purpose the National Republican calls upon the Union League to prepare for the removal of 20,000 male negroes fioni Mississippi to Ten? nessee, 20,000 to Missouri, 10,000 to West Virginia and 5,000 to Florida. If this plan should succeed, the Republican ? might see those States go Democratic still, for sometimes the negroes are per? suaded 13 vote the Democratic ticket. It just depends on how fascinating the Democrats of Tennessee, Missouri, Florida and West Virginia, can make themselves. The caucus of the Republican mem? bers of the Senate met last week to agree upon the policy to be pursued with President Cleveland in the instances of Republican officers who have been re? moved, and in whose cases the President, and those acting under him, refuse to furnish the papers relating to the change to the Senate. Senator Edmunds favored vigorous action by the caucus, but he could not command the acquiesence of the whole of the Republican Senators, and therefore his schemes failed. The caucus adjourned without agreeing to any policy, and the Senate is going ahead with confirmations. The Republican members of the Senate have made faces at the President, but are unable to ac? compli*!) any more harmful or creditable achievement in the matter. That the Catholic Church of America is giving more direct attention to the cause of temperance in this country is evinced by the action cf the third Plenary Council of Baltimore, which recently closed an important session. One of the decrees praises especially societies for ^checking immorality and drunkenness, aBT!"*2"~particular tribute is paid by the bishops to the Catholic Union, the Total Abstinence and the Sacred Thirst Socie? ties. In concluding this decree, the bishops say : <-We admonish . all the faithful who make their living by trading iu the various liquors, to seriously reflect npon tbe many dangers and occasions of sin with which this business is surrounded, although in itself not forbidden. Let them choo>e, if possible, a more honora? ble method of acquiring a livelihood, but should this not be feasible, they must endeavor to remove both from themselves and others all occasions of sin. Let them not sell intoxicating drinks to minors or to those whom they know to be habitual drunkards. They must also close their stores on Sunday, and vigo? rously refuse to allow blasphemies, oaths or indecent conversation withiu their place of business." Mr. Editor: You do not seem in? clined to answer my questions, but no offense, sir, for that. This does not keep me and my neighbors from talking and thinking. If there is no way of finding out how much the whiskey business of Anderson- coats the people of tie County in the way of fines, in addition to drinks, I take it for granted that it is enormous, aud that those who know do not like to tell. Secrecy, profound secrecy, which would unfold poverty, want and ruin. But we have learned one thing, and that 13 that people's rights depend upon where they may happen to live. If they happen to live in towns they may decide whether they will allow whiskey sold or not. If they live iu the country the authorities and legislators say, you have no rights in this matter, for this is deci? ded by others for you. Out our way sometime ago, when they wanted us to help build a railroad by taxing ourselves, they said we were incorporations; but when it comes to the whiskey business they say we are outsiders, and must do our drinking in town, and pay our fines there. This is nice, isn't in ? But I wanted to write you about the farmers' meeting. I was there, but there was so much talking and speechifying, that in fact f never got either beginning or end of it. I couldn't tell whether it was a farmers' meeting or a meeting of all sorts. Tlif-re seemed to be such a general mixing up, that it was impossible for one uninformed to find out anything about it. Now. Mr. Editor, I am a farmer?at any rate I cultivate the soil?and I want to know how ?11 this fuss and noise is ever going to benefit the farmers? Will it make our produce any higher? Will U diminish the price of what we buy ? Will it lessen the rate of interest we pay on money? Will it put our property assessments for taxation on an equal and just fooling with Edgefield and other Counties? Will it diminish the pre? mium we pay for credit, for the meat and bread and clothes we purchase ? Or what will it do? A good many of us, humbly micm, who c-..uldii'l find out Monday, want to ku.iw :i!l about i!. i. it political or farmaticnl, if that's the word? We are iu a bad condition Many wauls ami necessities, and bul lit ,t!e with which to buy. We need cur? tailment, reform, somewhere along the line. Where shall we begin? In the whiskey shop? the Mayor's Court? the interest table? the merchants' lien? or will the Farmers' Convention cause the dawn of deliverance to break upon us, and raise us out of all our troubles? Which of these, Mr. Editor, if any? Simon. Mr. Editor : In last week's issue of the Intelligencer I read with pleasure the communication of "Citizen." iu regard to building a bridge across Seneca River at or below the mouth of Deep Creek; also, your editorial on this sub? ject, and the invitation to persons living in this Township to give their views. I regard this question as one of vital importance to the Fork. We have a thrifty population and good lands, but are too remote from markets, and espe? cially from our County Seat. Any measure which will place us in closer and more certain communication with Ander? son is greatly to be desired. There are many objections to the present route by Earle's Bridge?the most important, perhaps, the fact that we arc only in partial communication with Anderson, for often when we can cross the river Deep Creek caunot be crossed. The road, from the intersection of the Sloan's Ferry and Earle's. Bridge Roads, to a point near Mr. Wm. Bolt's residence, is a succession of bends and turns and precipitous hills, which in wet weather become almost impassable, aud prevent persons going to Anderson from hauling a load. The distance by Earle's Bridge i3 also from one to perhaps three miles further to ma.*iy persons than by the proposed route. If a bridge is to be kept up for the convenience of the residents of this Township, aud persons traveling through, ?hen it should be situated so as to do "the greatest good to the greatest number." The route proposed will receive the solid support of the people of the lower half of the Fork, as the'present bridge is of little benefit to them, it being a difficult matter for them to make the trip to Anderson and back in a day by that route. Cousequcntly, they are compelled, often, to go to Hartwell and other points. On the other hand, so far from being an injury the proposed change will be a benefit to those residing in the upper part of the Township, for I have been informed, by those who should know, that by actual survey the new route would be one mile nearer to Townville, (and I should thiuk, also, to persons' residing near Fair Play,) than by Earle's Bridge, besides affording a good ridge road instead of hills, and the certainty of reaching Anderson, instead of the uncertainty of being able to cros3 Deep Creek. Petitions are now being circulated through the Townships, requesting our County Commissioners to build a bridge at or below the mouth of Deep Creek. These petitions are beiug signed by men, the majority of whom are compelled to practice the strictest economy in their private matters, aud who favor an eco? nomical administration of our County and State affairs ; but they are men of practical good sense, who fully realize that there is as much false economy in coustantly patching up au old bridge as in repairing a run-down vehicle; and, also, that "time is money," and who can ill afford the loss of time aud injury to stock in going through the "Deep Creek hills." V. F. Martin. Fighting at Fort Worth. The extensive strike which has been in progress along the line of the Missouri Pacific culminated most seriously at Fort Worth, Texas, on the 3rd inst. St. Louis, April 3.?A number of specials from Fort Worth report that fighting occurred there to-day between the strikers and the Sheriffs posse, in which several persons were killed and wounded on both sides. Several hundred merchants and citizens are now marching down the main street, ail armed with Winchester rifles and shotguns. Seven men are now dead and a uujnber are wounded. The gun stores are closed and under guard. Details of the desperate affair are given as follows: The suggestive quiet that marked the passage of the freight traiu through the city was not without its sequel. Wbeu the train left the depot it was uuder the protection of a posse of j officers, commanded by Jim Courtwright. The train proceeded to the crossing of the Fort Worth and Missouri road, when it was stopped, as is customary. What followed is reported by a railroad employee who was on the train. He says: When the train stopped it was noticed that several men were congregat? ed on the track in front. Th sse commander approached the me and asked why they impeded the progress of the train, to which they replied tbat they had nothing to do with it; that they were not armed aud had no intention of interfering with the road. As the officer returned to the train he noticed several meu sitting or lying on the grass a few. yards from the train. The entire posse advauccd toward the men in ambush until they had reached a ditch alongside the track, when they commanded the throwing up of hands. The command was obeyed, but a3 the hands came up they brought rifles with them, which belched forth a deadly fire, it is said, with fatal effect. There were perhaps 100 shots fired. After the first fire the posse advanced and continued firing. The ambushers retreated behind some piles of ties, which proved most excellent breast works, aud from the security.of which they poured a murderous fire into the posse. From this position they were finally j dislodged and driven beyond the range of the posse's pistols. Later.?Police Officer Fulford was shot through both thighs. Special Officer Dick Townsend was shot twice through the left breast near the nipple. He died at 5.30 o'clock. Special officer Charles Sueed was shot through the throat and jaw. His wounds are fatal. Drs. Vaecker and Farrow, of the Mis? souri Pacific hospital, say tbat Sueed and Fulford cannot possibly survive. Only one of the strikers?Tow Nace, a switch? man?was wouuded. He is said to bo shot through the groin. The people are in a terrible state of excrement and appear dumbfounded. The breach between the law and the strikers has beeu widened and the bitter? est expressions ca*i be heard on' every side. There are hundreds of Knighis of Labor iu the city, who do not appear to regret the occurrence of to day. The Mayor has issued a proclamation appointing 75 deputy policemen and ordering the saloons to remain closed until Wednesday next. A petition has been sent to the Governor for the Stale Rangers, aud military transportation for troops has been applied for from Receiver Sheldon. The news is received here at midnight tbat Adjutant General King aud two compauies of State rangers arc on their way to Fort Worth on a special train. ? Insuranne estimates show that last year in this country dwellings were burned at the rate of one for every hour, with a loss of ?1,393 on each. The Floods. 'Vi i' i.iiiis i.i |a>l week produced ?nu of j tho greatest Hoods e ver known in this country and we give below a few of tho accounts from points which sinTercd most: Mauox, Ga, April 1.?Hundreds of people were to be seen on the banks of the boumiug Oemuigce to day, watching the mighty current as it swept past carry? ing death" and destruction in its course. The incidents last night were fearful, and with the coming of daylight it was foutid that an unfortunate man named Cornell Cheely, a drayman, who had climbed to the top of a tree for safety, and whose cries for help were heard at intervals during the night, was nowhere to be seen, He was one of the men who refused to leave his house yesterday morning, even after the water had reached it. Another man named Jack Reeves, who was a fireman at tbe compress, ia also missing, and it is supposed he was drown? ed. A number of attempts were made yesterday and last night to rescue these men, but each lime the boat capsized, and the rescuers were compelled to return to land. Of the forty or more houses near the river, iu East RIacon, about twenty-five were undermined aud have toppled over and are in all sorts of positions. Many of the occupants lost all their household effects and are suffering for the necessi? ties of life. The river has fallen about three feet to day aud it is hoped that the worst has passed. * Birmingham, April 1.?Specials to I the Age from the river towns of North Alabama show that the effects of the freshet are worse even than telegraphed yesterday. Gadsden reports the Coosa river at its highest mark aud rising, with alarming reports from above. All rail? road bridges on the branch road, between Atalla aud Gadsden, are swept away and a number of washouts on the Alabama Great Southern are reported on both sides of the Atalla. The mill and lum? ber interests at Gadsden have suffeted immense damage. The Teunessee is reported out of its bank? at several points. From Tusca loosa, on the Warrior river, advices are serious, though it is believed the worse has passed. Many houses on eit.jer side of the river have been abandoned and the water is running through the doors and windows. Some families occupy the upper stories of dwellings and ski ?s and fiat boats are used for transportation. The village of Northport, across the river from Tuscaloosa, is almost submerg? ed now. The water is a fo^t deep in the Tuscaloosa Cotton Factory, and work had to be abandoned. Just before dark tbe wreck of a small house passed down the river, and several persons were observed clinging to the timbers. Rescuing par? ties, in skiffs, started out in pursuit from the Tuscaloosa shore and were rapidly borne out of sight by the rapid current. Many persons living on low lands below Tuscaloosa had to be rescued from their homes in a skiff. No calculation can yet be made of the amount of damage to the farming interests and to railroads and other highways. ? An illicit distiller,, near Gaines? ville, Ga., which for six years has escaped detection, has been discovered and raided. The proprietor had dammed a small creek, ostensibly to make a fish pond, and under the-dam he placed his distillery, with tunnels for ingress and egress. The smoke was conveyed to his house and passed out through the kitch? en chimney. ? Postmaster General Vilas ?eems to be getting along pretty well. Besides all the fourth-class postmasters whose terms have expired, or who have died or re? signed, lie has removed 8,635, a list of whom has been sent to the Senate. He js doing his beat to reform the civil ser? vice of the Government, and is entitled to the thanks of the country for the ex? cellent manner in which he is adminis? tering the affairs of his department. Turn the rascals out! ? The young ladies of the Catholic Churches of Oshkosh, Wis., have signed a pledge to abstain from round dances and other dances which are forbidden, and to do all they can to preveut the practice of round dancing. They have formed a society to aid them in carrying out these purposes. Part of their agree? ment is to the effect that if they violate either the letter or spirit of their pledge by eugaging in any of the objectionable dances, or in encouraging the same, thev shall be expelled from the society. ? The New York Herald thinks that a wart is a good thing to have in the house. Once there was a happy home. The husband went about his business and felt secure. The wife had a big wart on her cheek, and knowing her ugliness was satisfied to remain iudoors attending to her duties. In an evil hour a physician was allowed to remove the wart. No scar was left, and the'wouan looked into her mirror and found herself beautiful. Other people made the same discovery. The vain little thing no longer busied herself with the broom and the duster. Her husband's buttons were allowed to drop off iu April showers. The deluded creature promenaded the streets, and pretty soon it was the old story of "Good? bye John." She disappeared, and now there is a desolate home. ? The Hon. -Jefferson Davis has ac? cepted au invitation to attend, if practi? cable, the unveiling of the Btatue of the late Senator B. H. Hill, at Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Davis states that he cannot make an address on the occasion, as his strength will not permit, though he admits "both love and admiration for Georgia's great son, who, rising with pressure, shone brightest when weaker natures were overwhelmed with despair." As Mr. Davis is to deliver an address at Mont? gomery, Ala., on the 26th of April, iu aid of the Confederate soldiers' monu? ment fund, it is expected the unveiling exercises at Atlanta will take place April 28. The Atlanta Constitution says a vast crowd of Georgians will welcome Mr. Davis, limited only by the capacity of the trains that run into the city. ? A vessel will leave New York next week with eighty colored emigrants for Liberia. One of the number is a pupil of Lincoln University, near Philadelphia. Next Fall a larger Dumber will be.-ent, and during the next four years tho American Colonization Society will spend ?12,000 a year iu sending out c 1-mists. "Liberia," said Secretary Hubbard, of the Pennsyl vania Colonization Society, to an inter? viewer, "is the most fertile and beautiful section in West Africa. It is no place for white people, however, as the African fever is fatal to them, while the negro will flourish under it. To a negro the climate is salubrious; to a white man it is almost certain death, although plenty have beeu able to live there. Liberia has five hundred miles of coast line and has vast mineral and agricultural resourc? es. It is strange that American capital? ists do not make an attempt to work the miues in Africa, where gold and diamonds abound. The Liberiau Republic has about a million inhabitants, of whom eighteen thousand are American negroes aud the rest natives. The latter are being gradually civilized, aud the time is not far distant when a great republic will exist there." ? l ?eiNew l'ork World stales that the difficulties in the way of aerial nav? igation have been to a great extent over come. In 1S83 M. Tissandier construct? ed a machine in France with which he obtained a velocity of nine miles an hour, proper allowance being made for the wind. Here the French military authorities took the matter up and au? thorized further experiments, which were conducted by Engineers Renard and Krebs. These officers have recently achieved the results of thirteen miles an hour with a manageable machine which was made to return to its startitig point. With wind moving faster than thirteen miles an hour, the return, of course, could not have been made. It is claimed that the speed can be increased by fur? ther experimentation, and it is not an unwarranted assumption that flying machines will eventually be built which can hold their direction in anything less j than a gale. Of course further exper- ! intents will he made, and if air ships can j be put to tiny practical use we may ex- j pect to see them tailing over our heads in the near future. ? A novel temperance organization ha* bren formed in Sali bury, Maryland. Each im n,!i ; puts -I in ;. common pt:r>o ami promises nut tu drink anything for a year. If he breaks bis pledge, he forfeits his :1 to those who remain faith til. ? The evolution of the tomato is going on in a remarkable way. Not many years ago the fruit was mostly sbin and seeds, but the newest varieties are almost solid pulp with very few seeds. Possibly, as in the case of the banana, the seeds will yet disappear altogether and the plants will have to be propaga? ted by cuttings. A Remarkable Escape. Mrs. Mary A. Dailoy, of Tunklinunock, Pa., was alilielcd for six years with Asth? ma and Bronchitis, during which lime the best physicians could give no relief. Her life was despaired of, until in last Octo? ber she procured a Bottle of Dr. King's "New discovery, when itnuicdiato relief was felt, and by continuing its use for a short time she was completely cured, gaining in flesh oO lbs. in a few months.

C, July, 1S3-J. Westmoreland Bros.?Gentlemen : I have very thoroughly tested your Cali? saya Tonic, and do not hesitato to pro? nounce it a most remedial agent As a stomachic and general tonic it is unsur? passed. For eliminating malarial pois? ons from the system and repairing their deleterious effects; for rebuilding, rein vigorating and giving tone to tho system when reduced by protracted or sevore fevers or other debilitating causes, there is in my judgment no other preparation in the whole'field of medicines equal to it. But especially is it useful in malarial disorders, both as a curative and a pro? phylactic. J. P. ENSOR, M. D Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic will cure you of Chills and Fever when quinine fails.

STILL KICKING I BUT NOT KICKING VERY HIGH. IT does not matter with the dear people whether I am making money or doing business iust for the fun of the thing, so long as they can buy Goods from me cheaper tbau from those who are doing a legitimate badness. Folks who buy on credit have to stand "legitimate profits"; but those who can pay cash are free to buy where the best bargains are offered, even when done by small potatoes like me. I will stand to all I advertise as long as the Goods last. I do not guarantee the prices for six months, nor that I can keep the Goods even a month. My past experience has been that the wide-awake people generally took my offerings during the first and second weeks after advertised. Be assured if you come AT ONCE you will get them. No humbuggery in this. Notwithstanding the number sold, I still have The Best Goose-Necked Hoes at 35 Cents, And when I say this I do not meau the cheap, light Hoes usually put off as substi? tutes by some others for these Goods. When I say Ames' Long Handled Shovels at 75 Cents, j I mean it. I offer another good Shovel, made by Oliver Ames ?Sc Sons at C5 cent?, j PITCH FORKS 40 cents. SINGLE TREES 25 cents, j RED CEDAR BUCKETS 50 cents, Former price 75 cents. I STILL OFFER AT COST! My HARNESS and a few SADDLES. Also, a very nice line of TRUNKS, and LL MY CANNED GOODS. IF YOU WANT FLOUR, I can sell you at prices to please. I have no low grade stuff to offer, but if you want BRAN I can sell you that.

Only a few of the Curtis $6.00 Shoes, which I am sell? ing for $4.75, left; but if you find what you want, it is as good as if I had a thou? sand pav'rs. MORE ABOUT SHOES.
