All the speak ere were accorded resppctful atten? tion and no bowling down nor mobism disgraced the occasion. About 2000 per? ilous attended the speaking, and they were about equally divided in their political opinions. Let Anderson keep up the re? cord. Jim Porter, Jr..

Tuey'aie charged with holding a negro about seven miles north of here while another negro cut hirrr-fearfully, slashing him horribly. Dr. Duckett, Toad and Gray attended the wounded man. We bear that it is reported that there are a number of cases of typhoid fever in the city. Chief of Police Fant says only two cases of typhoid fever have., been reported In the last twelve months, and that tbey are on the outskirts of the city. He says the city is remarkably free from sickness of any kind and that the record is even better than for years. A very pleasant campaign meeting was' held at Mountain Creek last Saturday, and the most of the candidates got an opportu? nity to express their views on the ques? tions of the day and were given a respect* ful and courteous bearing.

Pearson and Mrs- Pearson and Frank, of Due West, spent a night in the city last week-. Mr. Pearson had just completed a protracted meeting in the neighborhood of Clem son College, and is now conducting a series of services at the Varennes Church. He is an earnest and able expounder of the Word, and bis dis? courses are deservedly popular wherever they are heard. ( A nimble-fingered son of Ham slipped a water melon out of Mr. H. W. Major's buggy last week aod had summoned his "pard" to the feast when the owner ap? peared on the scene, recognized the melon and called the police.

Marchaut, of Granite ville, S- C, has been spending a few days .with Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Johnson in this olty. Prot Marcbant teaches the factory chil? dren of Granite ville and bis salary Is paid by the factory. He is an ardent supporter of Gov. Til) man. but we venture to say that bis patrons are not Tiilmanites, as tbey have better educational facilities given them by the corporation for which they work than Tillmao's $3 poll tax scheme could possibly furnish then. Spartanburg correspondence News and Courier: "After the death of Mr. James Geddes, the executors determined to sell his stock of goods. The store was under the charge of Mr. Bateman, his head clerk. He sold out during the summer as much as be could, and a few dayj ago the bal? ance of the stock, was sold to J. EL Mor? gan, of Greenville, R. S. Hill, of Andereon, and Mr. Bateman. They will add a large stock of fall goods at once and continue business on a larger scale than heretofore." Greenville News: ' A gentleman of this city has returned from a business trip through Anderson County. He has seen and talked with many of the best farmers and brings back glowing news of the rapid change in favor of the conservative candi? dates in that County. . In the Sandy Springs section he saw and conversed with twenty-seven men, each having a EDod deal of influence io their neighbor oods, who were Tillman men two years ago and are now as heartily supporting the conservative nominees." . The store room of Mr. ?. G. Fant, on South Main Street, was broken and enter? ed on Sunday cast at about 12 o'clock m. by some one who secured only some canned goods aud cigars, so far as can be ascertained. Entrance was made through a rear window. A negro boy heard* the noise and reports that he saw a young white man get out of the window. The yonng man lives a few miles oat of the city, and when the alarm was given he jumped on his mule and galloped towards home. The police gave chase, but the young man had gotten too far away to be captured in the city. His name is with? held until a legal investigation can be had. A week ago last Friday a jealous woman in Atlanta dashed a cup of vitriol in the face of the woman who she claimed had taken her husband from her. The wounds caused by the fearful acid were severe in the extreme, and the loss of eye? sight was expected. The woman who threw the vitriol and her sick babe were put in jail, and the victim was sent to the hospital. The case awakened the interest and sympathy of Atlanta, and the papers have sold much about' it. The deserted woman and her aiok infant in jail and the cruelly punished and suffering woman in the hospital seem to share about equally the sympathy of the public. The perfidy of drunken husbands gave rise to the com? mission of the diabolical deed and its aw? ful consequences. The Saluda Baptist Association, com. prising most of the Churches in Anderson County and a few in the upper edge of Abbeville County, met at Broadmouth Church on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week, with a large at? tendance of delegates and visitors.

D., Secretary of the State Mission Board, Rev. A. J. 8. Thomas of the Baptist Courier, Rev. J. L. Voss of the Connie Maxwell Orphanage, and Rev. G. B. Moore of Furman University. The reports from tho various boards and socie? ties showed -an encouraging progress in the work of the Churches, and the meet? ing was an unusually harmonious one. The delegates were enthusiastic in their praise of their hospitable treatment at the hands of the Broadmouth Churob and community. The New Council. On Monday last the general election for Mayor and Aldermen of the city of An? derson took place in* the Court House and was managed by Capt. J. M. Patrick, W. H. Frierson, Esq., and Mr. R. E. Belcher. The ticket that had been nominated at the primaries was elected, as follows; Mayor: G. F. Tolly; Aldermen: B. F. Moss, J. P. Duckett, A. C. Strickland, J. R. Vandiver, W. D. Brown and S. D. Brownlee. In selecting the City Fathers for the next term our people have wisely chosen. The new Council is composed of men who have given the best evidence of their fit? ness lor the management of municipal affairs in that they have as individuals managed their own business successfully and with profit to themselves and evi? dently to the satisfaction of the commu? nity. Mayor ToUy is rich in experience as the helmsman. Thrice was he Intendant of the town of Anderson. Thrice and one time more has he been elected Mayor of the City of Anderson. He is a man our people delight to honor. By repeated elections have the peonle proclaimed, "Well done, thou ^Ithful servant.'' Mr. Tolly has long beep a citizen of Ander? son, and h|s immense furniture estab? lishment rank? among the first in the State.' Mr. Mobs has for the secoud time in succession had aldefmanio honors thrust upon him. By strict attention to his own business he has won the confidence of the people. As a merchant and con? tractor he has made friends everywhere, and is accumulating the good things of life around him, Dr. fJuckett enters upon his first term of pubHo service by this election. In him the voters saw the qualifications an al? derman should possess, and without Us cqhspnt they called fefoto a ppqt Ol hon? or in the city, D,r, XfOolc?tt is a well equipped, successful physician, and $ WFBP practice testifies to the high esteem in which he is held among his people. Dr. Strickland was transferred from the old to the new Council, and in this re? newed expression of confidence in him a high tribute was paid to a worthy man. Dr. Strickland is a Dentist, and his skill and ability in his profession have estab? lished a wide and lucrative practice for him. Mr. Vandiver, as in the case of M r. Moso and- Dr. Strickland, was not uUbwed a moment's released jtn aider manic duties.' and, immediately on laying down the old ha will assume- thei new*. In' his second election the people have approved' the' wisdom of. their first eteotiojrj of Mr. Vandiver and'have paid him S deserved compliment. Mr. Vandiver is Caahlenof the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank, and his selection for that responsible office was abundant evidence of bis ability and integrity in tbe discbarge of duty. Mr. Brown has before been tried by the people. Some years ago he served the city in his present capacity. In his re-elec? tion the people again bear witness to his usefulness as a man and an officer. As a merchant and cotton buyer he is recog? nized as one of the first business men of the city. Mr. Brownlee, as does Dr. Duckett, now first assumes the duties of a member of the City Council. The reputation he has established as a business man and an a citizen has won for him the esteem and friendship of a host of friends, and in thus highly honoring him the voters of the city have honored themselves. As a mem? ber of tbo firm of E. W. Brown & Sons his business qualifications have marked him as one of tbe most progressive and substantial citizens of Anderson. The interests of the city have been com? mitted to men who will Bee to it that An? derson keeps abreast of tbe times and who will serve her with fidelity and abil ty. We extend congratulations on the hon? or dono them by their fellow citizens and wish for them a quiet and prosperous term of office. Belton News. I guess your readers will begin to think soon that instead of signing "Substitute," I ought to sign "regular." But Mr. "Taw" is away again, and has requested me to give the news from Belton this Mr. E. B. Bice, with bis neice. Miss Rena Rice, has gone on a visit to relatives in Picken? County. They are expected to return in a few days. W. K. Stringer, who has been visiting at the same place, returned Monday via Williamston. Miss Emma Blnckwell, who has been visiting Mrs. R. A. Lewifl, has returned toberhomein Darlington. Miss Maud Wakefield returned to Co? lumbia on Tuesday, after a week's stay with Mrs. J. H. Frazier. Mr. Geo. S. Andrews arrived on Mon? day afternoon in onr town on a visit to tbe family of Mrs. M. E. Oeer. George was a student in Prof. Kemp's school one year, end was a general favorite in our town. We are glad to have him among us again. Mrs. F?x and two little children are visiting at Mrs. A. 0. Latimsr's. Mrs. A. L. Brown and her son, Carroll, have been at Mrs. Lntimer's also. Prof. J. T. Smith and family are visiting in Greenville County. Bro. S. is assisting his brother la a protracted service over there. Prof. W. E. Breazeale and Julius Es kew spent a day or two in town last week. Prof and Julius have in former days spent considerable time in Belton as teacher and pupil, and their friends are glad to Bee them, always. Mr. Walter H. Geer has been spending several days in town with his mother's family. Well, the Advocate either thought our reply in last week's paper unworthy of no? tice, or intends confessing its inability to justify its course in the matter. Tbe disgraceful mobbing of Maj. Mur? ray was, we suppose, the direct outcome of the advice given a few days ago at a club meeting in Belton. A prominent speaker advised tbe crowd, who were Tillmanites, to first insult the an ties, and if they didn't like that to mash tbeir months. Maj Murray was first insulted and they, attempted afterwards to break bis bones. How has this state of things been brought about? No-man can successfully assail Mr. Murray's record. No man can say be is directly oppotted to their interests. No, it has been brought about by the lead? ers giving just such advice as that referred to above. What kind of a man was at the head of this mob? Are such men as him to be followed by white Democrats of South Carolina for the purpose of mobbing a man like Maj. Hurray ? I won't disclaim Jrou a* fellow citizens because I can't, but et me appeal to you to coolly examine your deeds of that day at Cedar Grove and see bow low and cowardly aud mean was your action. Now contrast tbe meeting at Williamston with that at Cedar Grove. Just think of an assemblage of 2,500 people at a po? litical meeting and not one fight or any? thing of the kind to mar tbe pleasure of ladies present Cheers in abundance, but a complete absence of rowdyism. No in? sults were offered to men of opposite opinions. But what was the case on the. other Bide ? I will show to what extremes they went ? Some ladies and young men from this town were hissed at and bad sand thrown at them as they passed Cedar Grove Church. They report it as the most disgraceful thing they have ever known white men to engage m in their presence, We don't want to accuse the whole crowd of this thing, hut wish the blame could be fixed on individuals. Let us re? peat that the leaders are to blame for most of the trouble. Say, Democrats, can you vote for a man who will give such advice as was men? tioned in the beginning of this article. Do you want to know who this man is? If you do come to Belton and he can be named. Let us continue to work for Sheppard and Orr and pure Democracy. _Substitute. Eureka Items. % This dry, hot weather is parching things hi a hurry. Corn is being seriously dam? aged and cotton will be out off considera? bly if it does not rain in a few days. This section is about, as dry as any we know of. It has been three weeks since we have had anything like a good rain. We may talk about reducing the acreage, or the use of fertilizers to reduce the cotton crop, which ia alright if we could get every one to do it, but when an All wise Providence steps forth and vetoes the making of a large crop it's simply sure to be, however big we little fellows may kick. Mr. Julius Eskew, of Salem, spent last Friday night in this community while on bis way home from the Association. He seema to have enjoyed it hugely. Mrs. C. B. McCown spent the day at Col. Campbeli'B last Tuesday. We had the pleasure of attending the pic nie and baibecue at Williamston on Monday, the 8th iast., and to say it was a grand success is putting the matter in a rather tame way. Tbe issues of the day were ably discussed by those peerless sons of the State, Messrs. Sheppard, Orr, Mur? phy, Humbert and Murray. The splendid order at Williamston was in striking con? trast with the disgraceful howling at Ce? dar Grove on the arrival of Maj. Murray at that place. We are reliably informed that he waa immediately surrounded by a Selling mob, who abused and insulted im until he was obliged to leave tbe place without having been allowed to apeak a word, and from what we have heard from good authority, there don't seem to have been very much done by tbe leaders to quell the riot. Such a proceed? ing is a disgrace to any County, and espe? cially to Anderson, as it has been consid? ered the banner County of the State. It is practically the outcome of Tillmanism, the outcome of arraying class against class, and for not having a Governor that has respect for the dignity cf his position. What a "Poor Ma a" Says, Editobs DjteiJ'IQenoeh: If you will give space to a few thoughts from your humble servant I would like to submit the following card from a poor man of the very poorest: I am not in favor of or for Mr. TUlman. I cannot see how any poor white man, if he will let reason have its course, can think of going to the polls and voting for a man that is seeking with all the power of his wits to deprive the poor white man of all bis rights and privileges to think, vote and act for himself in a free country as we have always done heretofore. We all know full well Mr. Tillman's $3 poll tax will be a heavy burden to Ut> as poor men, and then comes his expected eight day road tax law, and bis property and his educational qualification law be? fore we would be allowed to have our vote in this country where we have always held these rights. Should this poll tax law take effect how many of us could, as a class of people, spare our children to go. to school any more than we do with the $1 poll and the two mill tax on property 3 In love for our rights \ hope every poor white man will think and look this mat? ter square in tbe face. On tbe 30th inst. the death knell will be sounded to us should Mr. TUlman, who I believe to be our greatest enemy politically and relig? iously receive sufficient votes to become the nominee for the office of CJci^ao.v of ourS^tnte. It will be $njeh1f4farus. for ever, ' " j W, M, G. Club Meettnp, Brushy Creek Democratic Club will meet at Cedar Wreath schoolhouBe on Saturday, August 20th inst., at 3 o'clock p. m. Every member is urged to be present, as this will probably bo the last meeting before the primary electiou, and business of importance will be before the Club. L W. Pickens, President. No, O^ce-^i^o Pa^-^ui?rantee.

Miss Rosa Grcer, onr efficient and ac? complished teacher, has now an average attendance of forty pupils. She is doing good work, and well may the patrons feel proud in securing her services. Some of the large boys are going, and it is amus? ing to hear them hollering for Shoppurd and Tillman. TheSheppardites hold tho v fort.'and get the best of every argument. I would attend tho Academy if I did not have to stay at home and help the old wo? man preserve fruit. Not yery long ago a Tillman goat called to see if he could not convert me, (not knowii that my old lady had come into the foh..) Great was his astonishment when he was met at the door by the old woman with a kettle of hot water and the carving knite. He broke off down the road at a 2.40 gait, and if he knew her as well as I do, he would keep three miles ahead of her. We are needing rain very bad. Corn is parching up, and if this drought lasts much longer cotton will be injured a great deal. Mr. J. L. Tucker has had his new resi? dence painted, which adds greatly to the beauty of this little burg. Friend William is going to build him tj bouse also. We suspect he i9 going to take unto a himself a better half. We say let the good work go on. Mr. Editor, I wish you could have boen at the Academy last Friday afternoon to have listened to the speaking. I would have liked to have been there myself. It is said that Master Jackson Ballard made a fine speech. It would have done older boys credit. It is as follows: Tillman had a little goat, His coat was long and brown, Josh Ashley jumped upon bis back, And rode him through the town. And as they camo across the square, The anties were in a hilarious strain, For the boys knew very well, They'd never see such a sight again. And when they went around the cor? ner, To where the Tillman crowd was waiting, Tbegoatdumpedbisriderin the mud, And then ran off bleating. We say hurrah for Jackson, Nelse Green and all the rest of the Conserva? tives. ' Uncle Josh. Carswell Institute Items. Some time has elapsed, Mr. Editor, since yon have heard from our communi? ty, and we now feel that you should hear again. We are just doing the best we can dur ring the hot weather. Corn and cotton are doing finely, and the people are eating watermelons, thinking and talking politics, and con? gratulating themselves o^er the prospects of good crops, and feeling that Tillman will score a complete "walk-over" on election day. In regard to the latter, however, we have our doubts as to the ".walk-over." We call on free-thinking men to look the situation squarely in the face. Look over past records. Consider future intentions of Tillmanites and Con? servatives. Vote according to honest judgment and convictions of what will be best for the State, for or against Tillman. Our Democratic Club met according to call, but we were not present, having {;one to the Union Meeting. We havent earned what was done in our club. Our school is again on a boom, there being about seventy pupils enrolled. The session, however, will close the 2nd of September. .There will be recitations, songs and dialogues at the closing exerci? ses. 'Tis also the intent to have someone to address the people on the occasion. The exercises are public. Everybody in? vited to come and bring their dinner and make a picnic after the exercises of the school. At night a local club is expected to act a drama entitled. "Too much of a good thing." That will be worth seeing and hearing. Miss Mattie Eskew and Mr. Oscar Hembree, of the Denver neighborhood, gave the family of Mr. D. P. Bowen a visit Saturday and Sunday. They are al? ways welcomed in onr community. We will try to let you hear again soon from this flourishing community. Quin Nunc. Neva News. We are needing rain very bad now. Crops are injured on account of the drouth, especially corn. . The singing at Long Branch closed on' the night of August - 4th. It was very well attended throughout, and we think the crowd enjoyed the concert Thursday night. The excellence with which the class conducted themselves was due to the teacher, Prof. J. T. Milford. The an? thems, solos, etc., were very interesting to the congregation, which was large. Miss Elvie Milford, of Antreville, has returned home after spending two weeks with friends and relatives in this section.
