He spent some itime at the Hot Springs and everything possible was done for his relief, but he ?gradually grew worse nntil death claimed him as its victim.

And any person so doing shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon con? viction thereof shall be fined not more than twenty dollars, or bo imprisoned not more than thirty days." We take great pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to one ?l the most daring, If not the most marvel . achieve? ment, that bas yet been accoT;- shed in the publishing world. We reief to a new and most' valuable publication, entitled "Sbepp's Photographs of the World," rep? resenting renowned picturesque scenery, historic castles, views of cities, avenues, buildings', monuments, copies of cele? brated paintings and artistic statuary, col? lected from every corner of the world.

Messrs. Jones, Seybt & Co. are now ex? hibiting the prettiest stock of Spring goods they have ever brought to Anderson, and in their new advertisement this week Ibey tell our readers something about them.

These gentlemen, as is well known, keep everything that is in? cluded in tbe dry goods line, besides a big stock of millinery, gents' famishing goods, shoes, etc., and just now it is especially interesting to young and old, male or fe male, to inspeot these beautiful goods, which will be shown with pleasure.

Bigby, who lives near Honea Path, just across the line in Abbe? ville County, was in tbe city Tuesday, and paid bis annual visit to tbe Intelligen? cer office. South Carolina bas no better citizen than Mr. Bigby, and' it always gives us pleasure to meet him. While be was in our office, Mr. W. N. Copeland, who lives about twelve miles east of tbe city, stepped in. After the usual saluta? tions, and during a general conversation which followed, Mr. Bigby remarked that, whUe he was a citizen of Abbeville Coun? ty, he took more interest in Anderson County affairs, and had long been & reader of tbe Intelligencer. He further re? marked that he had not visited Abbeville C. H. in thirteen years. "Well, I can beat that," remarked Mr. Copeland, "I live within twelve miles of Anderson and to? day is the first time I have been here in fifteen years." Both gentlemen explain? ed that they never had much business at their respective County sites, and that they spent nearly all of their time at and around their homes. Republicans In Session. It was not known to many of the white citizens of the city that the Republicans were to have a meeting at this place on last Wednesday night. There can be.no doubt that the information was generally known among tbe negroee, however, for some 250 or 300 of them assembled iu O'DonneU's Hall to bear tbe speaking. The writer got wind of tbe m "Hing, and on going to tbe place was invited; witb a few other white men, by Cul. Tobn R. Cochran to go up and attend tu-_ meeting. Having provided their while visitors witb seats near the Chairman's desk, the meeting was called to order by Henry Kennedy, on whose motion Sam Johnson was elected Chairman, and Ben Church well Secretary of the meeting. Col. Cochran was asked to State the ob? ject of the meeting. He came forward and said the meeting was called to put in nom? ination candidates for delegates to tbe Minneapolis (Republican National) Con? vention. Before sitting down he made a talk of some length. He thought the Har? rison administration bad been correct aud honest. Favored Harrison's renomiua tion (applause), but didn't love Harrison. He bad received no favors from him. He wanted delegates elected who wouldn't sell out. (applause). Drum out of tbe party any man connected with anything unclean or dishonest (applause). Attend the precinct meetings on the 8th of April. The Speaker referred exultingly to tbe lack of harmony in the Democratic party, and was loudly applauded. He urged his party not to nomiuate a State ticket. Told then to "lie low," and when tbe Demo? crat-t-r'i: then support a ticket made up from both parties. He bitterly denounced the Tillman ad? ministration, especially referring to the rule which forbids a negro voting in the primaries unless he can prove by ton white men be bas voted tbe Democratic ticket in every election since '76. The speaker said if the Democratic County Chairman could prove that much for him? self he would vote tbe Democratic ticket the rest of his life. Tillman bas not only closed the doors against you, said he, but he has closed up the key-holes so you can't even peep iu at them. Your vo;es made Hampton Goyernor iu '7(5, but i ow you are thrown overboard. These re? marks were cheered and applauded vig? orously. He announced himself a candidate for tbe Minneapolis Convention from this Congressional District. In answer to hta question, do you want me, "yes," "yes," rang out from one end of the' ball to the other. The Republican party is made up of two factions, the one bitterly opposed to the other. Col. Cochran represents the old line Republicans The independent Republicans find their prominent leader in Postmaster W. W. Russell. When the first speaker bad finished calls were made for "Russell," "Russell," but most boisterously by the independent fac? tion. When the noise subsided Chair? man Johnson said: "Give him honest and noble attention. Mr. Russell responded and asked all present who bad had registration certifi? cates but had lost them to stand up. A i great many had lost them. He assured them they were entitled to certificates, aud that be would see that they got them if they would consult with him before tbe time for issuing certificates had expired. They were guaranteed rights by the Con? stitution and by demanding their rights they could obtain them. By an infamous law, said the speaker, be was deprived oi bis citizenship (he failed to procure a reg? istration certificate within the time pre? scribed by law) but he proposed to make an effort to enable every citizen of South Carolina to vote. He spoke of the numerical strength of the negroes, and tcld them if tbey wore allowed their rights they noald control the politics of the State. Mr. Russell made a long s< -merit of a parsonal nature, saying th.. vhen his nomination for tbe postmastersLip at this place was sent by tbo President to the Senate Committee on elections he- was told that "old man Hampton" bad Haid he would oppose it, for he (Russell) ex? erted too great an influence in the upper sectiou of this State to he placed in so im portant a position. He said be went to Washingtou to meet his accusers before the Committee. "Aud what did old man Hampton do when he saw me there ?" asked the speaker. "Why, he tucked his tail and skee-daddled for shelter." (Laughter and applause.) The speaker baid he had written a history of the troubles in the Democratic party, by re? quest, and bad it "riled iu tbe archives at Washingtou." After much of this kind of talk, and having predicted the Democratic party would fall to pieces of its own corruption', he announced himself as a candidate for delegate at large to the Minneapolis Con? vention. While doing thi3 be turned to t.'ol. Cf'obrau aud said, in effect, that Coch? ran seemed to want to keep his faction out in the cold. Cochran replied that he did, onless they would come in at the front door. Th? next speaker was a negro from Pickens named Bird. He bnwled con'sid erably for Russell's crowd and said he wanted to nominate a State ticket. "Dat'n why I votod for Haskell summer 'fore iHHt." Cochran said in reply to this that if the Rt-puhlicans nominated a ticket this year the Democrats would settle their differ? ences before Saturday night and oppose you solidly. Lawrence Jones and one Gaines were alHO mentioned as candidate for delegate from this District. Toe meeting adjourned at about 11 o'clock. Col. Cochran made a quiet and conserv ative speech to the negroes, and gave them good advice. Postmaster Russell's speech bordered on tbe inflammatory style, and was calcu? lated to excite and arouse tbe passions of the negroes. No good can come to the community at large from the speech he made, but evil might be instigated by it. While we believe the factions in tbe Re? publican party are more hostile to each other than those in the Democratic party, every Democrat. in the State, could he have attended that "pow-woh," would have felt the necessity of unity within their ranks, and would have realized that the blacks of the country, under leader? ship of shrewd white men, might yet again bring to pass tbe time that would witness "black heels upon white necks." Look Oat For this Xtascal. Editors Intelligencer: A woods pas? ture on Rev. J. R. Earle's place, contain? ing about 50 acres, was fired near tbe cen? ter, on Monday, the 21st. D. T. Thomp sou, hearing Mr. Earle's farm bell at an. unusual hour, (it being about 10 a. m.,) hastened to their assistance. While Mr. T. and family wero absent from their bouse, some one forced an entrance into his dwelling, evidently in search of money, as his bureaus, trunks, &c., wero broken into, aud tho contents scattered over the bouse, tbe 3aie opened at d the cold bread and a plate of butter missing. Mr. T. suspected at once that tho fire was expected to attract him from home, for tho purpose of robbing his house. Early in the day Mrs. Pink Little was startled by a negro man coming to her door and asking lor matches. She hurriedly gave them to him and in a short time heard of tbe fire and the robbery. She at onco suspected the man who procured tho matches. His description points to Imman? uel Keese, a ginger-cake colored negro, about 21 years of age and about 5 feet 8 inches tall, with high, round, fiat face, thick lips, a sleepy expression, and a feminine voice. Look out for him as he. is a constitutional rogue. On Tuesday night, the 22nd, a corn and fodder house, together with a new ten nant honst? on J. J. Coker's place, was destroyed by fire, about eleven p. m., tbo inmates, a colored family, barelv escap? ing with their lives. It was evidently the act of an incendiary. On Wednesday, tbe 23rd, Henry Hol laud, a worthy colored man of this sec? tion, met Emanuel Keese near Mr. Coker's. Henry asked where he was go? ing, :u such haste. Emanuel Baid to Georgia, as he had heard that a warrant was out for him. Henry requested him to return with bim, as Mr. Coker bad suspected no one iu particular, but in? stead of returning he made haste in a run for the Savannah River. Henry immedij ately informed some white and colored neighbors, who gave pursuit, arriving at the river only to find a brokeu lock, aud the Batteau on tbo Georgia side. Procur? ing another boat, the partv crossed to Georgia, where, beingjoined by a num? ber of Georgians, tbe trail was taken Up and the man overhauled near Hartwell. He was taken before a Georgia officer, where he agreed to be delivered across tbe line, rather than go to jail at Hart well. He came back and was being guarded by some colored men who were awaiting u warrant, when he made a break for liber? ty and succeeded iu escaping, leaving his old hat as the only evidence of bis ever having been captured. He should be looked after in this and our sister State, Georgia, as ho'is a noted rascal, housebreaker ana thief. He serv? ed a term in the Georgig chain-gang for breaking in a store at Hartwell. He also broke into and stole money, jewelry, and other things from tbe bouses of Isaac Adams, Claud Dean, and perhaps Thompson, of this State. He stole chickens from Mr. Willis, confessing the same. He will possibly hire to some one in the County in the next few days, remain un? til he can steal something, then make his way to another part of this or Hart Coun? ty, Ga., where he will repeat the game, therefore look out for him. Thomas Thompson, J. J. Coker, Nathau Hardy or Henry Holland, Holland's Store P. O., will appreciate hearing of him. Rook Mills. Cedar Grove Items. Election year bas again rolled around, and everybody is endeavoring to keep posted on tbe times. As we said in your paper two years ago, we are neither & Till manite nor an anti-Tillmanite. We voted tor Tillman at tbe general election on principle, but this year we will not sup? port him under- any circumstances, nor will we vote for any man who holds with him. Tbe old darkey, July Duckworth, who we mentioned some time ago as having tbe grip, is dead. She was perhaps tbe oldest person in the County. Her age was not known exactly, but from all accounts she must have been over one hundred years old. ? Au infant child of Mr. Jim. Chapman was buried here a few days ago. On Sun? day, 20th inst., Mr. John Owens, of Pel zer, also buried a little babe here. We have the largest attendance at our Sunday School since it was re-organized that we have ever had, and the indications are that it will also be the bestSuuduy School we have ever had. The prayer meeting bas also taken on new life, and, from tbe large attendance, it is doing good work. The people who uso to hunt and fish on Sunday now attend the Sunday School. We now want to get those few persons who would rather visit their neighbors and talk politics and business on Sunday to come and join us, Mr. J. P. Lawless says he set a hen on fifteen eggs and she came off with sixteen chickens. The many friends of Mr. Hugh Mahaf fey, Jr , will be glad to hear that he is now clerking in the Alliance Store at William? ston. He has been clerking for ilt. G. W. Sullivan, and it was reported he was going to Pelzer. Hugh bas a good following of customers, and they would regret to see him-leave Williamstou, Give him a call at the Alliance Store, and you will find bim ever ready and willing to serve his friends. Messrs. 0. J. and L. E Copeland visited friends in the upper section of the County last Sunday. Last Saturday was fisherman's day iu this section. It seems everybody went fishing, and the majority of them had good luck. Mr. Joe Kinard spent Saturday and Sun? day at Pelzer visiting a fair friend. Miss Mettie Surratt has been in charge of Miss Mamie Stephen's school for the last few days. Miss Mamie's mothor is very sick, and she is attending her bedside. GlUT. Sandy SprlDgs Items. As this is my first attempt, Mr. Editor, to write to your valuable paper, I hopo it will escape the waste basket. We regret to report that tbe health of this section is not good Mr. T. P. Hob son is sick witb typhoid-malarial fever, and two of hia children are also afflicted with same disease. Several of Mr. W. E. McAllister's family are on the sick list. too. The farmers have about finished put? ting in guano, and several have p,anted some corn. The wheat and oats are look? ing well. We had a severe wind storm on the 10th inst., and a great deal of timber was blown down. Mr. Reid Garrison had tho misfortune to lose a fine miloh cow recently. The school at this place has closed for the present. Dinner bells are quite numerous in this section now. They have taken tbe place of tbe old-fashioned dinner horn. The mules begin to bray as soon as they hear the bells, for they have learned what it means. The political excitement will soon be up to fever beat. My prayer is that peace and harmony will reign supreme. Girsi?r. i.(.Tri:c!Civille Items. l'?litic^l interest is rwpidlr increjsing in Ulis community. Since the cat 1 of t.ho thirteen for a March Convention thtre lins been good work aoromplished by the antiTilluianites. The reception of the news of the nominations that, were mado at this Convention was received with much enthusiasm, and has given n9w hope of final success. Themen who con? stitute the ticket, and who will use every practical aud conservative meaus to make the causi which they have espoused a suc? cess, are not deficient in ability, and are strong iu the counties from which thoy were taken. Many of the farmers who were ?trong supporters ofTillman in '00, and who spared no means of abpttiug his interest in that campaign, have seen their error long since, and are now heartily en? dorsing the pear-e and unity call of the thirteen; and ful'y satiHfied with the nominations that were made by that con? servative and patriotic body, they are losing no time to do good work." Till man'8 chances are not vary promising, to say the least, and with determined, in? creasing effort, he can be defeated. The name of W W. Dixon appears on the list of State noniinationM made by the March Convention. Mr. Dixon is a grad unts of the South Carolina Military Acad cmy. and ia a strong and able young man His career as a cadt-t was promising. He .vas held in the highest esteem by his fol? low school mate-*, and ihey will not be B'ii'prisKl to learn of tlio honor which which has been conferred up>.iu him by the 0 Misbrvative element of South Carolina. He is fully competent to perform the du? ties of the office for whi'jli he has beou nominated, and if elected, will leave noth? ing undone that will add ins re to the lair n?me of his State. They could not have found a hotter man for the office. The High School, of Lowndesville, has made wonderful progress under the able supervision of Prof. H. B. Humbert. By his unceasing efforts he has built up a school of which any man of his profession might well be proud. The scholarship is large, and tho decorum of the school, un? der the utrict discipline which he placed into effect upou assuming charge of the institution, has been wonderfully im? proved. He is a graduate of Erskine Col? lege, a progressive and euergetic young man, and is much admired in this town and community. The farmers are well up with their work, and prospects for less cotton and more home supplies are very promising. They are beginning to learn that the fleecy staple will not pay their indebted? ness at present prices, when provisions are so high aud their farms are not self sustaining. Mr. J, O. Chambers and family are oil on a visit to relatives iu Atlanta. The> will return some time next week. Mr. T. Baker is having his residence re? painted- Toe. work adds much to the beauty of his homo. Messrs. J. M Baker and E. II. Mathews are just from Atlauta, where they have been on business. Mr. T. A Daniels died at his home near here ins; week. Ho was one of the oldest farmers in this section. Your correspondent will try to givo you the news more regular, and you may con? sequently expect a "budget" each week. Old Eyes. Andersonvllle Items. The farmers arc well up with their work. The wheat and oat crop is looking vory well at this time, aud if no disisters come we may expect better times -in the future. The acreage i9 larger than for several years. The Cotton acreage has been'cut down to some extent, and more com is being planted than usual. Mr. W. J. Reed, an energetic young farmer, has and will plant fifty acres. Mr W. H. Edwards, of the Fork, thinks he will come in as an heir to the Edwards estate in New York. He is a grandson of the lato Wo. Edwards. Say, Mr. E? when you get yonr pile, you must divide with your friends. Miss F. H. Earle, of Oconoe, paid a fly? ing visit to this place this week. Mr. W. J. Reed lost a valuable cow last, week, which is the fourth that has died in tbis section this year. The New Hope correspondent has taken us up wrong. We did not- say that the young ladies wanted to marry, but we did say if they were to take the advice of the many correspondents of the Intelligen cek, and take advantage of the leap year, there wr uld be no more marriages, <fcc. Look up your Intelligencer of the 3rd and read it again. Andrew went to see bis best girl lust Sunday and found ber absent. Call again, Andrew We wi9h you may have better luck next time. E and H. carried their best girls to Bethlehem Church last Sunday evening, and H. broke bis buggy. We bad an invitation to dinner at our old friend's, Mr. B F. Wright, last Sun? day, which was gladly excepted and highly enjoyed. In the afternoon we repaired to the home of our old fiiend, Mrs. Sarah Cox, to a prayer meeting and singing. The attendance was not large, but every? body present enjoyed the occasion. Tho people will meet again at the same place the 3rd Sunday evening in April. Waco. * Long Branch item?. The news is scarce wilh us this week, Mr. Editor, but will try and givo your many readers a few dots. We have been having some of the cold? est weather I have ever experienced at this limo of year. It seems strange to see so much ice and frozen ground. The people of Long Branch are gener? ally well, and no wonder. It is true that people get sick here as iu other places, but Dr. Campbell will not let any one en? joy a spell of sickness any length of time. There are lots of little chickens in this section, which indicates a good titue com? ing. Call around, Mr. Editor, aud we will suck bones together. The cows aro still dying in our commu? nity. We do not know what is the cause. Mr. W. H. Cobb and H. A. Cummings have each lost a valuable cow recently. A seleetion of friends were gathered at Mr. C. M. Campbell's on Friday night, the 18tb, where several hours were spent very pleasantly. Tho* farmers aro a great deal farther along with their work than thoy were this time last year. Some of them are through planting corn. There will be a great ceal more coru planted thau there has been for many years. That is right; havo your coru crib and meat house at home. Mr. B. II. Greer says it can bo done, for bo knows by experience He is a man that has never bought neither meat nor corn, and every farmer can do the same and then afford to raise cotton at six cents. Remember' your potato patch, brother. I wonder what is lue matter with our Schoo! Commissioner ? He has not visited Long Branch. Farmer's Boy. Alice loots. News is scarce in our section at this writing. Gentlo Spring has at last arrived?at leas.t the nweet melody of the birds and the beautiful fruit blossoms and flowers indicite it. If wo havo uo more frost there will be plenty of fruit. The wedding bells will shortly ring in tbis section. When tho cake is cut, please remember this humble correspondent. Mr S. O. Jackson is a hustler. He is nearly through planting his corn crop. Rev. J. T. Morgan will preach at Rocky River n?xt Sunday at 11 o'clock a. in. Baldwin Townsend lias opened a black? smith shop. Give him your patronago. Mr. Clayton Hampton has bad luck every time he visits a certain fair friend's home. His mule gets loose and leaves him. Hard limes is still theory. If we can only pull through until blackberries are ripe, we think the country is safe. Now, brother farmers, let uh plant plen? ty of corn And when you have finished planting the number of acn-s you contem? plated planting in corn, just put in live acres more. You will then have plenty. One of tbo Hartwell (Ga.) boys visited this section recently, and nfterho rotumed homo his fair friend visited a neighbor's to get a cake baked. Come again, Jim, the cake is now ready. Ono of our girls sayssho is going to gi ve a certain widower over the river a pig. Come over, old fellow, and got the pig. When you go to buy stamps, don't ask for credit, as "Uncle Sain" don't do a credit business. John. Thrce-and-Twonty Items. Mrs. A-. Quales has had a very severe attack of la grippo, but she is improving. We hope she will bo up and about in a few days. Spring oats are looking fine. There are a few eases of whooping cough in this sectiou. Mr. Editor, come up and wo will go fish? ing and see what sort of luck we will have. The people arouud here cry out ever once and a while hard times. Why don't they go to work and make easy times ? Witto Woo. Catd of Tbauks. In behalf of our family I desire to re? turn my thanks to the kind friends and neighbors for their many acts of kindness and assistance rendered us during tho re? cent illness and death of our father and brother. I can assure them that their kind acts will never be forgotten, but will loog be remembered by each and every member of au afflicted and bereaved household. May Heaven bless them. J. J, Finley. Cms- Roads Items. Wbo^t and oats are looking fine. Tho Iruit trees are blooming and if the. weather continues like it bas been tlnro will be very few peaches Tho young doctors evitienlly have some very sick palienls by tlie way they go down the road. We witnessed a very comical sight last Sunday. A very popular young man came down tho road wheu a squall came up and lifted his derby hat off bis head and carried it gracefully across a wheat field. The youon man could not leave his horse, as there whs not anything to hitch to. ho ho hobbled his horse and started in pur? suit of his truant head wear. In the nioantimo the animal became frightened and broke loosp. When the gent returned, and had somewhat recovered from his surprise, started in pursuit of the animal Ho succeeded in catching him after a chose of about two hours and a half. So I hope friend Smith's Trinity girl will ex? cuse him for being dull that night. Several of onryonng people are going to have, a fishing party an soon as the weather will admit all the fish and boys to bite. I heartily endorse Senator Glenn's wine bill Sjdoe, every one who has any re? gard lor their country, religion and hu? manity. I am glad to see the move the Demo? crats made the othor day. I think we are on the right line. Hurrah for obeppard and Orr! Uncle Josu. Rocky River News. As I have never seen any news in your paper, Mr. Editor, from our neighbor? hood, I thought I would try and give you a few items. Our little neighborhood is located on tho lower edge of the County. We have one Church and a school. Just now, we aro sorry to say, the school is closed, tho measles having attacked nearly all of the pupils, nnd our good teacher, Miss Minnie Cowan, has gone home. Wo have a fine Sunday School. Rev. G. M. Rogers is pastor of our Church. Mrs. E. Hall has had a sovoro attack of rheumatism, but undor theskilliuj treat? ment of Dr. A. at Alice, she is now re? covering. When you get sick send for Dr. A., and if you need a lawyer, employ tho lawyer at Alice, and you will always do well. Mr. Charlie Stone, of tho Plat Rock section, has been visiting this section. Some of tho fair sex say call again, Char? ley. The farmers of otir neighborhood are very near done planting corn. They say thoy are going to try and make euough corn to do them. That is right, farmers, make something to eat, and we will have easy times. , Wo will not say anything about friend Burt's mustache. In our next we may tell'you all about it. Goosefoot. lola Items. There will bo preaching at Lebanon the Jirst Sabbath in April, at 11 o'clock a. m,, by Rev. W. M. Pinson. We hope there will be a large congregation out to hoar him. We have Missionary meetings on every third Sabbath in tho afternoon, and have very interesting programmes. Wo wonld be very glad to have you, Mr. Editor, at? tend some of our meetings. Prof. J. M. Hamlin's school is still in a flourishing condition. He has been called from his school to tbe bedside of his sister in Williamnton, and left his school in charge of his efficient assistant, Miss Rosa Groer, who kept things going very nicely, indeed. Mrs. J. H Hutchinson, who has been very ill for some time, is. we are glad to say, now convalescing. Dr. J. G. Duckworth is now making preparations to tear awoy bis old resi deuce, prepnratoay to erect i?g a larger and more substantial one. Mr. Lawrence Thompson is also making preparations to build him a nice residence. Mr. Editor, don't you think it would be well for some one of your little correspon? dents to remember how the streets of Je? rusalem were kept clean ? Prudentia. Townvllle Locals. The many friends of Mr. W. A. Brown lee will teglad to learn that he is better. Mr. J. W. Suttlc3 and family have moved in town. We aro glad when good men settle among us. Welcome, friend Suttles, thrice welcome. We hear that Mr. Suttlo3 and Dr Sharpe are prospecting for geld. Gold digging In this commu? nity is not a new thing. Before tbe war there was gold dug from Mrs. H. T. Brown's farm, and also other farms around this place. Tho Methodists are contemplating build? ing a Church in this place in the near fu? ture. That's right; let us have more Churches and fewer bar rooms, and that will give ua empty jails. Mr. Editor, I have not noticed any ao count of Anderson's sending a relief fund to the starving Russians. I do hope that our grand old State will contribute some? thing. Christ says, ' Feed the hungry, clothe tbe naked," &c., and we will not lose our reward. J. R. Bruce and G. E. Smith are con? templating attending the Southern' Bap? tist Convention, which convenes in At? lanta In May. Old Rosin De Bow. A Card of Thanks. Messrs.
