The Star is the name of a hew afternoon ?paper that has just made its appearance in . Charleston. It is published by J. A. Sei by Co., and is ably edited and neatly printed.

J Keys and get a copy of the ioil and sketch of the Company- The pamphlet was I printed in the Baptist Courier office, .and is I a model piece of work. - The sketch, which j was written by Col.

McCully's plantation, in Cen terville Township, has made 52 gallons of sorghum off of one-fifth of an acre.. The cane was the Early Amber variety, and was ground at Mr- P. F. Kings' mill.

I Attention is directed to the advertise I meht of the Anderson Female Seminary I in this issue. Parents having daughters I to educate would do well to inquire into I the advantages Of this institution, which j stands in the front rank of the educational institutions of this State. The terms of tuition and board aro very reasonable. Write to Gen. Ayer, the Principal, for a catalogue. Mr. Chesley C. Murphy, of Anderson County, Texas, paid us a visit last Thurs? day. Mr. Murphy is a native of Brushy J Creek Township, this County, having re 1 moved from here to Texas in 1851. He j thinks this County has gone through con? siderable change since he left hero. He -reports fine crops in Texas. Mr. Murphy ia an old subscriber to the Intelligen? cer, and it gives us pleasure to greet him once more on his native soil. I The Greenville Neu3, of the 12th inst., says: ; "Our neighbor city Anderson will 1. please accept Greenville's hearty congrat? ulations on the completion of the Savan? nah Valley railroad, which will bo cele? brated to-day. We ought to send a big delegation to help our neighbor rejoice over the fruit of her brave enterprise, patient waiting and unflagging effort. May she receive from the new road all the. good she deserves, which is more than her most sanguine expectations can look fott Well done, Anderson!" - Rev. J. Leigh ton Wilson, of Abbeville, occupied the pulpit of the Presbyterian Church last Friday night, Saturday and Sunday, preaching both morning and evening to large congregations. His ! seimons were deep and exceedingly in? teresting. Abbeville is fortunate in hav? ing such a minister within her borders. The meeting is still in. progress. Rev. Mr. Burkehead reached the city Tuesday morning, and will conduct the services through the week, prcashing both morn? ing and evening. Mrs. J. P. Ducket met with a painful accident while out riding last Saturday afternoon. She and a lady friend were in the buggy together, and while going j down the hill, opposite Mr. Bleckley's j residence, on Main street, the horse stum j bled, and in attempting to. regain. his steps, the holding-back straps broke, and the buggy ran into a ditch, precipitating bo(h ladies out. Mrs. Ducket was pain? fully braised in several places on her per? son, and it is feared that her shoulder blade is slightly fractured. The other I lady was not hurt. Mrs. Ducket has suf I fered considerably from her wounds, but j her friends are hopeful of a speedy re? covery. j The new City Council was sworn in last I Monday morning. Mayor Tolly appoint? ed the following as the standing commit I tees: On Streets?J. M. Payne, J, G. Cun I ninghani and Foster Fant; Fire Depart? ment?Foster Fant; T. F. Hill and C. F. Jones; Health?T. F. Hill, J. L. McGee and J. G. Cunningham ; Finance?C. F. Jones, J. L. McGee and T. F. Hill.. All the bid city officers were re-elected. The old Conncil -go out of office with a fine record. When they took charge of the I government, the city was about $500 in debt. They have paid this off, have can? celed $2,000 of the city bonds, and have turned over to their successors about $1,800. They also repaired the steamer, purchased the hand engine and otherwise improved the Fire Department. At the j same tune the streets 1iave been kept in j good order. This is a splendid showing, I and if the new Council will only do as well they need never fear pf hearing any complaint. j Mr. Frank M. Norris died at the resi? dence of Mr. S, T. Craig, in this city, last Tuesday morning at 2 o'clock, in the 35 th year of his age. Mr. Norris was the youngest son of the late A. O. Norris, I Esq., and was well-known throughout the County. For the past three years he has been the chief clerk in the office of the Clerk of Court, and by bis uniform kindness and courtesy to the general pub? lic, he made many friends, all of whom -will regret to hear of his death. Four years ago he had a severe attack of fever, and at the same time lost his wife, who had the same disease. Since that time Mr. Norris has been in feeble health, be? ing afflicted with that terrible disease, diabetes. He was never confined to his bed at any length of time, and was able to attend to his duties up to the close of last Saturday. On Sunday morning a nhange came over him, and he gradually grew worse until he passed away. Mr. Norris leaves four little children and many relatives to mourn his death. His remains were interred by the side of his Wife, in the cemetery at Flat Rock Church, in Varennes Township, on Tuesday after? noon, Rev. T. C. Ligou conducting the funeral services, in the presence of a large concourse of friends and relatives. Belton Democratic Club. A full meeting of the Belton Democratic Club is desired on Friday afternoon, at 41 o'clock. The object of the meeting is to mak- .rrangementa for the County cam? paign discussion at Belton on Monday, August 23rd. By order of the Club, John M. Geek, Corresponding Secretary. THE SAVANNAU VALLEY It. IL A Brief History of the Enterprise? A Grand Celehrntion nnd Banrmot In Hon or <?f its Completion?A Gulii Day fui A mi croon. Tho citizens of Anderson celebrated ok last Thursday the completion of the Sa vaunah Valley Railroad, b)' which the cities of Augusta and Anderson are direct ly connected by railroad. This meeting celebrated the accomplishment of an even! which has been thodronm of agonoration and which was actively begun in 1852 by a charter for "Tho Savannah River Val? ley Railroad.1' Tho first meeting of the j stockholders of this Road was held in ?Hamburg on the 18th day of October, 11853, and tho then town of Anderson was represented by Messrs. Daniel Brown, B, j F. Crayton, J. L. Orr, J. W. Harrison and j J. B. Benson. Judge Orr was elected j chairman. A committee to investigate land report as to the amount of stock I subscribed was appointed, and made the following report, which was adopted: J The committee to whom it was referred to ascertain and report the amount of stock J subscribed to the Savannah River Valley Railroad, &c., beg leave to report, that they have performed the duty assigned them, I and nod on -the Books of subscription shares taken to the number of (5684) five thousand six hundred and eighty-four shares. Upon examining the Books, your I committee find that a portion of the stock I has been subscribed for upon conditions, I which might be acceptable to the company I after it was organized, but 'which are una I vailable for the purpose of organization, I Your commitee therefore recommend that j the subscription Books be recommitted to I the respective boards of Commissioners, I with instructions to collect the notes given I for the first installment, and use active I exertions to procure additional subscrip I tions. I Your committee further reccommend, I that this meeting adjourn to meot again at j Hamburg on Wednesday, the 23d day oJ I November next, when the organization I will be completed, and that public notice I to that effect be given by the commissioners J at Hamburg. Jko. Bauskett, Ch'm. I Tho Convention then adjourned to I meet on the 23rd of November, at which I time Mr. William Sherard was enrolled I as an additional stockholder from Ander I son County. Mr. J. W. Stokes, Chairman I of Commissioners to raise the capital I stockt submitted the following report I which was adopted: I We the undersigned Commissioners ap I pointed to receive subscriptions to the Stock j of the Savannah River Valley Railroad, at j the Town of Hamburg, do hereby report J and certify unto the subscribers of said Railroad Company, now assembled in gen I eral meeting at Hamburg, that the Capital J Stock of the said Company has been sub? scribed for, and taken to the amount and I sum of Five Hundred and Seventy-one I Thousand and Nine Hundred dollars. On I which'has been paid ten per cent, amount I ing to Fifty-Beven Thousand One Hundred j and Ninety Dollars in notes and specie pay I ihg Banks of this State, which saidamount of Fifty-seven Thousand One Hundred and I Ninety dollars has been deposited in the Bank of Hamburg, S. C, as will appear by J a certificate of said deposit, herewith sub I mitted, subject now to the order and- direc I tion of the said Savannah River Valley j Rail Road Company. The said subscribers being declared by j the terms of their charter an incorporated j Company, may tjow proceed to a formal J organization, whenever it shall be their j pleasure so to do. Respectfully submitted by i J. W. Stokes, Ch'm of Com'ers. Nov. 24,1853. I J. W. Stokes, Esq. Chairman of Coni I missioners, also submitted a certificate of j the Bank of Hamburg, that there was de? posited in that institution to the Credit of J the Commissioners, Fifty-seven Thousand One Hundredaiid Ninety Dollars, ($57,190.) On motion of Daniel Brown, Esq., a committee of seven was appointed to nom? inate ofiicurs. Committee, Messrs. Daniel Brown, W. W. Belcher, 8. F. Stevens, J. T. Middleton, J. W, Stokes, Wm. Sherard and John Brownloe, who retired from the Hall. 1 During the absence of the above Commit? tee, Col. J. W. Harrison, of Anderson, sub? mitted a Draft of By-Laws, which after some amendment were adopted. These by-laws fixed the salary of the President at $3000.00. Daniel Brown, Esq., Chairman of Com? mittee on nomination, submitted the fol I lowing report: I Your Committee upon whom devolved the duty of nominating officers, have per? formed the task assigned them, and the following is the result of your committees' deliberations: I .For President, Hirani Hutchison. For Directors: Hamburg?Messrs. J. J. Black wood, Charles Hammond, and Col. John Bausket. Wood Lawn?Dr. N. Merriweth er. Dora's Mine?Messrs. W. B. Dorn, R. Jennings and Col. Tompkins. Calhoun's Mills?D. M. Rodgers. Lowndesville? John Speer. Anderson, C. H-?Messrs. J. L. Orr, J: W. Harrison and D. Brown. All of which is respectfully submitted. (Signed) Daniel Brown, Chairman ; W. IW. Belcher, John Brownlee,- William Sherard, S. F. Stephens, J. T. Middleton. J. W. Stokes, Esq., submitted the follow? ing minority report. The undersigned, being in the minority I of the committee oh whom devolved the I duty of nominating a President and. Direc? tors, in the Savannah Valley Railroad, availing himself of his privilege, begs leave to submit the following report: Your I committee, adopts the principle, which he believes to be sound in logic as well as in I practice, that the amount of stock, sub? scribed at the respective localities, ought to I be the governing rule in the distribution, and election of Directors. And as an ad? ditional reason why a larger number of I directors should be in Hambprg and its I vicinity is, that the President of the Com - I pany should have, at or near him, a quo I rum of the Board, to consult with, as I there, most likely, will arise many ques I tions, which he would desire to submit to them, without being under the necessity oi assembling the whole Board from distant points. I nominate the following list of gentle? men as eminently calculated, to represent the interest of the Company as Directors: I For President?Hiram Hutchison. For j'Directors?General J. W. Harrison, Daniel Brown, Esq., Dr. Nicholas Merriwether, W. B. Dorn, Esq., Col. Cames Tompkins, Col. John Bauskett, John Speer, D. M. Rogers, J. J. Blackwood, ? A. Burnside, Charles Hammond and Josiah Sib ley, Esq'rs. All of which is respectfully sub? mitted. J. W. Stokes. C. W. Styles, Esq., nominated Dr. J. W, Stokes, for Director; seconded by Col. Bauskett, who requested that Dr. Stokes's name be used in the place of his (Col. B.] J. J. Blackwood, Esq., requested Col. Baus I kett's name be used in the place of his (J, I J. B.) Col. Orr declined the nomination as l.director.l The Commissioners after counting the vote submitted the following report: We certify that the following named gen? tlemen have been elected President and Directors for one year, and until a new election in the said company, to wit: Pres? ident?Hiram Hutchinson. Directors Gen. J. W. Harrison, William B. Dorn, Dr. Nicholas Meriwether, Daniel Brown, Col. James Tompkins, D. M. Rodgers, Robert Jennings, John Speer, J: W. Stokes, I Charles Hammond, J. J. Blackwood, Josiah Sibley. After resolutions thanking everybody, j as usual, the Convention adjourned. Mr, I Hutchison afterwards took a trip tc Europe, and nothing beyond surveying the road was ever done by them. The money paid in by the stockholders was lost by the war, and the enterprise went the way of the average railroad?on paper, In 1875-C the people of Greenwood start? ed the Groenwood & Augusta Railroad, which they oompleted rapidly, and from McCormick'8 (Dora's Mine, as it was then termed) occupied substantially the origi? nal route, except that instead of erossing the river at Hamburg, they crossed about eighteen miles above Augusta. The late Col. James M. Latimer, of Lowudesville, reviewed the agitation of the Anderson end of the line, and by his personal influ? ence and energy induced others to take hold of the matter and help the work for? ward. The Editor of the Intelligencei well remembers mooting him !or the first time in August, 1877, while attending a meeting of the Saluda Association at Honea Path, and, after a full conference, agreeing to write up his views in the In? telligencer, and help him to create an interest in the enterprise. A short, time afterwards he came to Anderson and mots number of our citizens in the office ol Messrs. Murray & Murray, at which time it was agreed to begin an active agitation of the enterprise. A mass mo6ting was callod at Lowndes? ville, of which Col. Latimor was made chairmnn, and a committee to draft and apply for u charier was appoiulod. TJic corporation waa chartered in 1.S78 under the name of "Tho Savannah Valley Rail? road." Meetings wore hold in all uf tht Townships along the route in Anderson aud Abbeville Countios, and various gentlemen participated in speaking foi the road, but Messrs. Latimer, Hum ' phreys and E. B. Murray, attended the mootihgs all along the routo, and the ro suit of these meetings secu rod subscript ' tions from ovory Township, aggregating some fifty-fiVH thousand dollars, which sum was expected to do the grading, but tho company failod to socure convict labor froc, and hence a dead halt was necessi? tated whon the money was gone. The experiment of working convicts on the Greenwood & Augusta Road, for a time stopped the working of convicts on railroads by producing a public senti? ment against such employment. Mr. 1 Murray secured tho passage of a bill giv? ing the road 150 convicts until comploted, but it failed in tho Senate. After doing an invaluable work in so curing rights of-ways, and in making the people along the routo friends of tho road, Col. Latimer resigned tho Presidency and was succeeded by Gen. Humphreys, under whoso administration the Townships in I Abbeville subscribed $20,000 additional, and the City of Anderson $50,000, making a total of $135,000 subscribed, of which the City of Anderson gave $02,500. Gen. Humphreys originated and completed I the negotiations by which tho Central I road becamo interested in this line and finally completod its construction. This is a brief outline of the more im? portant events connected with the con? struction of this important railroad line to Anderson, and its completion will doubtless realizo all that the friends of the road hope for. Tho realization of the enterprise which has been on hand so long with such I varying prospects justified the rejoicing which" our people celebrated on last J Thursday. THE CELEBRATION. When it was first decided to celebrate tho completion of tho Road, our people determined to make tho occasion equal to any ever held in Anderson, and so it was. The morning dawned bright and clear, and it was not long before tho peo? ple were flocking vjnto the city from every direction.' By 10 o'clock the streets presented a lively scene. All business in tbe city was suspended, and everybody had turned out for a pleasant holiday. The first excursion train over the Sa? vannah Valley Railroad came in about 10 o'clock, bringing near 300 persons from the various stations along the Road as far down as' McCormick. The crowd continued to increase until about Hi o'clock, when the Young Amorica Cor? net Band appeared on the square going in the direction of tho University campus, where the speaking was to take place. The greater portion of the crowd followed tho Band to the campus, and whon we reached there everything was in readiness for the speeches. The famous old stand that had been used at the great political meeting in 1S7C had beon repaired, and was occupied by the speakers and a num? ber of distinguished gentlemen. The stand was neatly decorated. A large number of seats had been arranged in front of tbe stand, and these were all occupied. Numerous carriages filled with ladies and children, were scattered around through the grove. The Young America Cornet Band was stationed on the left of the stand, and at the conclusion of each speech rendered a fino selection of music. The exercises were opened with a few appropriate remarks from Maj. B. F. Whitner, who had been appointed by President Humphreys to preside during the speaking. At tho conclusion of his remarks, he introduced Mayor Tolly as the first speaker. Mr. Tolly said: At the last moment I have been assigned to welcome this large and intelligent audience to Anderson, audit is a duty that I scarcely know how to per? form. Our city has put on an holiday at? tire for the purpose of celebrating the com? pletion of the Savannah Valley Railroad. Our people have long wished for this event, and our noble women have prayed for it. Anderson rejoices that the Road is finished ; she rejoices that by its completion she has made new neighbors. Our city will do more for the people of this County now than ever before. If she, with only one railroad, could compete with sister towns in selling goods, how much more can she do it now ? Anderson is a live, progressive city, and we welcome you, friends, to our homes and firesides. The latch string is hanging on the outside of every door ; take hold of it. I extend a cordial, hearty wel I come to all. We hope tbe people along tbe line of our new Road will come and trade with us. We can sell goods cheaper than any other town or city In America. We are happy and rejoicing to-day, but there is sc. .ething that mars our pleasure, and that is the absence of one who worked so hard, using his time, energy and money to complete this great enterprise. I refer to James M. Latimer, who, for a number of years, was President of tbe Road, but whose frail bark has passed into its eternal port. Let us all keep him in memory. Again my friends, I extend you a hearty welcome to Anderson. Hon. Joseph Canahl, a distinguished citi? zen of Augusta, was noxt Introduced, and spoke, in substance, as follows : We have assembled to-day to congratulate each other and rejoice over an event that is but an incident of this century. Steam, that great creative power, which was intro? duced less than one hundred years ago, has linked Anderson and Augusta together. It was but sixty years ago that the completion .of the first railroad in the world was cele? brated, which occurred in England, and this celebration to-day is as important an event to th)s section as thqt was to the mother country. Anderson and Augusta are old friends. We are fed by the same stream. Where were your products carried and where did your merchants buy their goods years ago ? We are naturally allied and are bound together by physical and other tics. Augusta should not he spoken of as a stranger. The completion of this Road brings us close together, and we come back-to renew those ties of friendship, that were found by our lathers. It required ten days in their time to visit us, but now, my friends, you can make the round trip in eight hours. In future our ties of friend? ship should be stronger. Col. R. W. Simpson followed next, aud spoke as follows : You are to be congratulated, my fellow rcitizens, of Anderson, upon the completion of the 8. V. It. R.?an enterprise begun more than thirty years ago, and I feel as? sured that all who are here to-day heartily 'unite with you in the spirit which prompts you to this celebration. The importance and utility of railroads, with you, has long ago ceased to be a question for to-day, or at least in the near future railroads are to a community what highways were in the olden times. A city without proper rail? road facilities is behind the timos,. and is i indeed a laggard in the race for civilization and advancement. The completion of the S. V. R. R. not only secures to you another outlet to the commercial world, but it demonstrates the fact that tbe citizens of Anderson arc determined to be abreast with tho progress of the times, and are possessed of such business tact, energy, and persever? ance as to guarantee that whatever else is to be done to make the city of Anderson the equal of any other city in South Caro? lina, will be peformed without the shadow of a doubt. In the adjustment and location of other roads now in contemplation, An? derson should feel the liveliest interest. These roads, when once located, are fixed forever, and if by chance or indifierence the ? city of Anderson should be passed by, or sidetracked, as it were, it would be a , calamity to the whole County, as well as to the city of Anderson. The bencflts to be derived from the railroads already complet? ed, and those in contemplation, are not oonfined to the city of Anderson alone, but are participated in by every oitizen of Anderson County, and it will not be amiss on this day of rejoicing to call your atten? tion to this important matter, which for the common good I wish every citizen in tho County realized. Every section of the County, no doubt, desires railroad facilities, 1 but we of Anderson County can not have but one railroad center. Anderson occu . pies that position to-day, and the interest of all will be best advanced by helping to poniplete the work which has been so auspiciously begun. And now, fellow-citi? zens, if properly understood, there is no conilict of interest between the citizens of the County and the city of Anderson. Their interests ? are one and insepanble. Agriculture is undoubtedly Important, in but agriculture itself can never prosper without proper railroad and commercial facilities. If the merchant can place An? derson in direct communication with the commercial world, can purchase goods cheaply and secure low rates of freight, the agricultural classes, who are the principal consumers will be the ones principally bene? fited. Again the commerce of a city can not be prosperous unless it is sustained b, a prosperous agricultural community should therefore be the aim of all to remove as far as possible every thing calculated to engender prejudices, and to realize that we arc all citizens of one County?all having a common interest and that we must all share alike the common weal or woe. I am not properly speaking a citizen of the city of Anderson, but I am proud of your success. Indeed, no one is more so than I am. I am proud of your business men, their energy, and pluck, and enterprise; aud whatever I, in ray humble capacity can do to advance the interest and prosperity of our city, by helping to build up and create a feeling of mutual trust and confidence between all the citizens of Anderson County and the city^ of Anderson, irrespective of their occupation, will regard it to be not only my duty but will be ray pride and pleasure as well. Now, fellow-citizens, in conclusion I am assured that I voice the sentiment of this entire audience, the city of Anderson, and the sentiment of the County of Anderson, when I soy to my friends here, the representatives of t he beau? tiful city of Augusta, that it is the wish of us all to encourage the best of relations between the two sections, and speaking for Ui. ir Carolina I hope our friendships may be "as strong as the steel bands which have so securely united us. Col. R. A. Childs, of Pickcns, was next introduced. He said he had been invited since his arrival on the ground to deliver an address. He was not prepared to say much, but extended his hearty congratulations to our people upon the completion of this great enterprise. His people were engaged in a similar enterprise and he wanted them to follow our example. He hoped the Savan? nah Valley would not stop in Anderson, but would push on until it connected his people of the mountains with the seaboard. Hon. W. C. Benet of Abbeville was in? troduced as the last speaker. He said: This is no County meeting, no State meeting, but an inter-County and inter State meeting. I have the same excuse to make as those who have preceded me._ I was drawn here by a beautiful invitation to participate in the pleasures of this occa? sion, and to listen to distinguished speakers. I am glad to be able to rejoice with you on this occasion. The speaker then paid a beautiful tribute to the late James M. Lati? mer, and said he was glad to bear tbe words of praise that had been spoken of him by Mayor" Tolly. I He was proud to say that the first railroad built in America was built in South Carolina. The school books gave that honor to Massachusetts, but to South Carolina and to Charleston the honor belonged. My town (Abbeville) is asleep, and I am here to learn a lesson how to build a railroad. I have learned one. My friends, yon have paid your taxes and built this road, and you do not regret it. The locomotive is the best friend we have to? day. We are now celebrating the nuptials of Anderson and Augusta. Augusta is reaching out in every direction. She is a Mormon. She has married Greenwood, Laurens, Spartan burg and Greenville, and now she has taken your city, the youngest and loveliest of her brides. There has been more development in the last few years than in the past fifty years, and it is all due to railroads. They are the pioneers of civilization. If we want to get the full benefit of this country, we must build railroads. When the officers of the 8. V. came to my town to ask us to join in build? ing it, our people laughed at the idea. But you have built it. I hope if we can't reach the mountains by the Cumberland Gap Road, you may do so by the Savannah Valley. This Piedmont section is the richest in the State, and it will be the rail? road center of tbe South. 1 versa I gann/n in j-aiun. jic.-|iuiiuui iu uj Col. E. M. Rucker. Proposed by Col. J, A.

Several impromptu toasts were offered and responded to. One of them was tc the "Women of Anderson," which was responded to in an eloquent manner by Mr. W. C. Benet, of Abbeville. During the. banquet a ball was in pro? gress in the south wing of the building, which was attended by quite a crowd ol young ladies and gentlemen. It was one of the most pleasant features of the occa? sion. Each speaker was liberally applauded. The speeches were brief but to tbe point, and were listened to very attentively by the large audience. ? At tbe conclusion of tho speaking, the crowd scattered throughout the grove, and was soon gathered around the tempt? ing dinner baskets, each one seemingly doing full justice to the contents. Inside the spacious chapel of the University were spread four long tables, and those who were not fortunate enough to come in contact with a dinner basket, wore in? vited there and supplied with an excellent dinner. The Augusta delegation arrived on a special train from Augusta at 2 o'clock, about tho time the speaking was conclud? ed. The party was composed of about fifty of Augusta's prominent and most energetic business men, and were in charge of Capt. John W. Clarke. Messrs. W. S. Ligon, J. D. Maxwell,. A. G. Means, and F. C. Whitner, who bad been sent down on the preceding day from this city to act as a committee of escort, were with the delegation. Tbe train was met at tbe - depot by a number of citizens in carriages, and tbe delegation was at once driven to the University, where they were served with a fine dinner. ' At 4 o'clock the Fireinen'sjparade took place. Tho Young America Band "was stationed on the balcony of the Waverly House, from which place it discoursed sweet music. The Square was almost lit? erally packed with people, and every available window around tbe Square was crowded with ladies and children. The Firemen paraded through several streets, and then halted on tho Square, where they indulged in a practice for an hour or more. The boys, as they always do, ac? quitted thcmsolves admirably, and we heard many compliments passed upon the Department. The day thus passed off. and a pleasant day it was. The order throughout was excellent, the police having very little to do. The crowd of visitors in the city during the day has been variously estimated at from two to three thousand. THE I1AKQUET was hold in the University chapol in the evening. Tke committee had honored us with a ticket of admission, and early in tho evening wo turned our steps in that direction. Wo reached the building be? fore the guests had assembled, and on be? ing ushered inside wo found a number of our most onergetic and noble ladios busy at work arranging for the feast. As we viewed tho neatly arranged tables and decorations, we thought, what would man do without fair woman? Nothing can be made a success without her assistance, and she is ever ready to lend a helping hand to any enterprise. When tho ladies completed their work they retired. The guests soon began to arrive, and by 0.45 o'clock all were seated around the heavily ladoued tables. There were about 300 persons present. . Tho ontertainment was opened by a brief prayer from Mayor Tolly, after which Prosident Huraphroys, who was presiding, bade the crowd to at? tack whot'they saw before tbem. There was an bundanco of fruits, eatables (deli? cacies and substantials) and drinkables, and overytbing was served with eiise and dispatch by attcntivo waitpru. Tho following were the regular toasts ol the evening : Proposed by the Committee: The Savannah Valley Railroad?its comple? tion the consummation of Anderson's hope long deferred. Responded to by Gen. W. W. Humphreys, the energetic President of the Road. Proposed by Maj. B. F. Whitner: The Central of Georgia?the great Southern syudloate whose indomitable pluok and bold enterprise have accomplished more than all others in developing the resources of upper Carolina. Responded to by Hon. Joseph Canahl,' of Augusta. Proposed by Capt. P. X. McCully: Augusta?that beautiful City, whose solid prosperity commands tbe admiration of all true lovers of the South; may the cord that now binds us to her grow stronger with tho comingyoars. Respon to by Hon. John S. Davidson, of Augusta. Proposed by Col. J. J. Norton, of Walhalla: Anderson?ovor progressive, yet conservative, she has contributed largely of her means to insure the success of this grand entorpriso.? May she reap a rich reward. Responded to by Hon. G. F. Tolly. Proposed by Mr. W. S. Ligon: The Press?educating the people, conserving civil liberty, nursing great enterprises, she does much to create and .foster the pros Eerity of this Southland. Responded to y Hon. J. R. Randall, of Augusta. Propoaed by Mr. J. R. Vandiver: Ag? riculture?tho unfailing souroe of material well-being and national independence. Agricultural industry, persistent and in Among the many cakes that had been prepared for the banquet were two that attracted considerable attention and ad? miration. On tbe top of ono was a minia? ture engine, made of frosting, and arched over tho top of the - other were tho letters "S. V. R. R." These cakes were present? ed to tho committee of arrangements by Mrs. J. D. Maxwell and Mrs. J. G. Cun? ningham, respectively. The first named cake was presented to the Augusta delega? tion for Mr. Raoul, President of tbe Cen? tral system of railroads. It was received by Mr. James Tobin, of Augusta, in a few appropriate remarks. Tbe other cake was presented to tho Augusta delegation, and was received by Mr. W. H. Barrett, jr., in a few remarks. ' The Young America Cornet Band was present, and at intervals during the even? ing rendered some of its charming music. By 1J o'clock tbe merry banquoters had retired from the hall to their homes, there to dream over the many pleasures they had experienced during the day and evening. Nothing happened during the occasion to mar its pleasure, and the committee of arrangements deserve tbe thanks and gratitude of our whole city for the admirable manner in which thoy dis? charged their duties. It was a big under? taking, but the members of tbe commit? tee were equal to tbe task, and to their untiring efforts and zeal is due in a great measure the success of the celebration, which will ever be looked upon as a most pleasant event in the history of Anderson. NOTES. Col. J. A. Hoyt, of the Baptist Qmricr, attended the celebration. Mr. W. E.Gon? zales, one of the Columbia correspon? dents, of the News and Courier, also spent a few hours in the city during the day. On Friday morning the Augusta dele? gation, in charge of a committee, rode over the city and out to Hon. B. F. Cray ton's farm. They enjoyed the ride very rauch, and were charmed with the ap? pearance of Anderson and Mr. Crayton's model farm. "I had no idea that Anderson was such a beautiful, live, progressive town," said one of Augusta's prominent business men in our presence. Mr. Jos. R. Randall, of the Augusta Chronicle,' and one of the most brilliant members of tbe Southern press, was among the guests at the banquet. His letters to the Chronicle from Washington are among the most interesting thataresent ont from the Capital. Augusta may well be proud of her bus? iness men, if all of tbem arc like those who came up to the celebration. Messrs. Joe W. White, Travelling Pas? senger Agent of. the Central system, of Augusta, and Mr. Geo. T. Bryan, solicit? ing Freight Agent, of Spartanburg, at? tended the banquet. These gentlemen are genial, courteous representatives of their Company, and make frieuds every? where they go. Gen. Humphreys has received tbe fol? lowing resolutions, which were adopted by tbe Augusta delegation after returning home from Anderson: Desiring to express the deep sense of obligation which rests upon them, tho excursionists to An? derson, S. a, In meeting assembled, Capt. J. W. Clark in the chair, appointed aComiultteo to draft resolutions expresslag their appreciation of tho hospitality extended to theui on their rccent'vlslt. That Committen have performed the duty assign? ed them, and submit the following resolutions : Resolved, That from the moment the train rolled out of tho Union Depot to tho hour of their re? turn, the excursion was one continuous round of pleasure and gratification, fully realizing the most sanguine expectations. Resolved, That the cordial reception at Anderson depot was characteristic of whole-souled Caroli? nians and southern gentlemen ; hut even that was eclipsed by the genial and smiling reception at the hands of their lovely wives and daughters, who spared no exertions to make our stay delight? ful. Resolved, That wo will ever hold in grateful re? membrance their many and variod attentions, with the hope that at no distant day wo may be able to reciprocate, thus affording us an opportu? nity to show by our actions what wo now assert with our pen. Resolved, That our thanks are due, and herebv tendered to the Committee of Reception, the Mayor and citizens generally of Anderson ; to Capt. W. G. Raoul and the Central Road, for tbo handsome coach furnished for our special accommodation, and finally to everyone who in any way contrib? uted to our comfort and pleasure on this memor? able occasion. Holland's Store Items. This section has been visited by refresh? ing rains, and crops aro looking joyful. The peach crop is not as good as was an? ticipated ; they are rotting and falling ofl before they get ripe. The watermelon crop is a failure?the extreme wet weather ol the spring and early summer caused the vines to die. The candidates are on their rounds, with a broad sinile and kind word for every one they meet. Fodder-pulling will begin in a few days with some of our earliest farmers, and the person that fajlz to make good use of his time, and save everything in tho food line, will stand a chance to go under next sum? mer with the dry grins. Walker, a little son of Mr. M. T. Flem? ing, died on the 11th ult- of dysentery. Mr. Floming has the sympathy of the en? tire neighborhood in his bereavement. Rev. E. R. Carswell preached on the ho? liness doctrine on Sunday, the 8th ult., at Cross Roads Church. The house was filled to overflowing, and the best of attention was given. His exposition .of the doctrine was thorough, satisfactory and. complete, convincing the most incredulous in his forcible, logical, common-sense style. His sermon, which was nearly two hours long, was marked throughout by a manly, un* prejudiced, Christian spirit, giving the ad? vocates of the doctrine all that is due them, and exploding the errors in an undeniable, straight-forward shower of gospel truths. All expressed themselves as highly pleased with the proceedings throughout, and went home fully satisfied that heaven is the home of the angels and not this world. Burke.

A Itcply to Tax I'aycr. Jlu. Editor: Replying to the coiniuu . nicution of "Tax Payer" in yonrlnst issue - we wish to stale-: That when the present I Hoard of County Commissioners came into oillco thoy found the County iu dubt r to the amount of $5,033.00, with no provis - ion to meet this debt. Since they came into office they have paid all current ex I penses and reduced the past indebtedness f by J37G.00. There was'carried over from ' last year, the mini of $1200, after paying ' current expenses of that year, and applied to the expenses of this year. ! The past indebtedness of the County at 1 this time is $4,657, which the present ' Bocrd had no part in creating, but which I they hope to reduce by $2,000 as soon as I this year's collections are made. As to County claims selling at a dis \ count the Commissioners are not respon i sible, as under the law, the taxes are not j collected until the end of the fiscal year ; | if they were collected at tbo beginning of j the fiscal year, then tho Commissioners ? could pay in cash all claims contracted by r them. J. Jameson, , A. O. Norms, \ V7. J. Robins. I HniitiHr Anm'n. A NEW DEP -AT THE NEW YORK CASH RAILROAD FACILITIES, Q ! LOWER RATES OF FREIGHT, AND Mb. Editor : I hear of some criticism, if not complaint, 01 che expense of our recunt County Teachers' Institute. I wish to throw a light upon the subject, in order thai we may all see the truth clearly and accurately. The census of 1880 gives the school pop ulation of our County, at about 10,000, The expense of the Institute amounted to $1&U00. If we divide this amount among these 10,000 children, each would get cent, 5 mills, and 6-10 of a mill. Or, in other words, the Institute cost each school child the above, fraction over a copper cent or a postal card. I:" the expense ho divided among our 17 Townships, it will make $9,17 cents, and 0 mills to each. The Legislature has provided for an annual expenditure of $200.00 for a Nor? mal Institute; and about J of this paltry sum was spent last month for this pur? pose. Surely in the light of these facts, no man can charge expensiveness to our recent County Institute. M. Dots From Belton. Our farmers are wearing smiles now, cau3ed by the encouraging prospects of the cotton crop. With favorable seasons a good crop may yet be made. The town authorities have been doing some substantial work on our streets. Rev. W. A. Betts is conducting a series of interesting revival services at the Meth? odist Church. Misses Lou Breazeale, of Greenville, and May Burton, of Newbcrry, who have been visiting friends, have returned to their respective homes. Miss Lula McGee is visiting friends in Greenwood. Dr. J* M. Hoicombe has removed to Fountain Inn, Greenville County, and will make that his future home. The Doctor had been in our midst for three years, and we -egret to lose him from our town. W. E. B. Wllllamston Correspondence. We are having splendid rains now and pleasant days, giving our people a good chance to succeed in turnip raising; and many are trying this week, for all can sure? ly realize how important it is to have plen? ty of turnips for their stock through the long, sleety winters, and greens in abund? ance during the spring months, not only for their own families, but to give to their mo:*e unfortunate neighbors. To try and succeed in cabbage, beets, potatoes, and many other vegetables of the kind, we could always have our tables bountifully supplied through the severest winter. To bank the sweet potatoes, first with corn? stalks a foot deep, then with dirt two feet deep, preserves them well, provided they are so well covered that not one drop of wa ter can leak on them. To throw a little dirt: over the beets in the same manner, and quarter the cabbage, press them down in salt, with enough water added to cover, preserves well for months. Our climate favors us in. storing away the many good things, and ?II we need is energy to work arid health to enjoy it. When we see our Northern friends working for dear life?yes; not spending an idle moment over their beeps of pumpkins, apples, Irish potatoes, hop yards and maple trees, from which they make sugar, and think of their lands and. climate?how poor, cold, dreary, com par;d to our own sunny South, with such a variety of fruits and vegetables?we can see so muck difference in the two peoples. Thoir bop yards are beautiful at this season of the year?lar^e fields planted in hops, aud frames so arranged that the running vines weaving through each other, forms a perfect net work of living green as far as the eye can reach. In the tall when the season conies for picking hops, the farmers go into the large cities and hire the rabble off the streets, and what a season of frolic and fun they have to get out hopping for abc ut six weeks. The mountains of pump? kins piled up in their fields every Fall is a strenge aud uncommon sight to the eye of a pusser-by from our Southland. Notwithstanding our difference in heart and. feeling, we can't help but admire that indomitable will aud perseverauce for which they are characteristic, and wish from the depths of our souls our people had been trained in the same way. Their motto is for everybody to have employ? ment and everyone to stick close to their business, and it takes all of that for nation to grow strong. A. P. N. Union Meetings.
