Anderson Intelligencer. PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY 1. F. CLINKSCALES, O. O. LANGSTON, edit0r8 and Proprietors. TERMS : ONE YEAR.$1 50 SIS MONTHS. 75 WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 8, 1897. The statement is tnade that four out of five of McLaurin'b colleagues in Congressi, Mesara. Stokes, Strait, Latimer and Wil son, sought his defeat. The pension swindle is at last striking .terror to tho hearts of some good Nortb '& ^o?k. Nobody objects to fair pensions vto deserving and needy Federal soldiers, but the robbers must go. Yellow fever has made its appearance at Ocean Springs, Miss., where there are over seven hundred cases. Great alarm is ielt at New Orleans, Mobile, Montgom ery and the Texas seaboard cities. Rigid quarantine laws are being made effective at. once. Hereafter the Columbia Register will issue a paper every day jn the year. Heretofore it has not published a paper on Monday morning. The Register ia now one of the best dailies in the State, and we are glad to noto this evidence of Its prosperity. Th Republicans are disturbed over tho situation in Ohio. Mark Hanna's egenta have just completed a canvass of the State and their Usares show that the Democrats will not only elect their Gov ernor, but will secare a majority in the Legislature, unless great changes occur between now and November. After October 1st Gov. Ellerbe will practically do away with the constabu lary. Only a few will be retained to work, -in the rural districts and the enforcement of the law In towns and cities will rest with the municipal' authorities. The .;. constabulary force cost the State ?52,036.6? last'year, and hereafter that expense will f be largely saved. -m m, -? " John Gary Evans has formally severed n?a connection with Tillman'a coat tail. In an interview he said that he was de feated by Tillman'a influence, the com * bin ed conservative press and the lack o?' j backbone in the Administration. He said that the personal charges made against him by McLaurin would boat tended to hereafter. The cotton recipts of Anderson are al vraya an item of interest. Anderson just ly prides herself on being one of the lar gest "and best cotton markets in South :Carolina, and every year the number of | bales of the fleecy staple received here are counted, with interest by the citizens. Our cotton dealers expect a large increase in the receipts this year. The State Democratic Executive Com mittee met in Columbia last Friday night and officially declared the result of the primary election for United States Sena tar. The total vote cast was 45,860, of S which McLaurin received 29,320, Evans, 11,372, and Irby, 5,159. This gave Mc Laurin a majority of 12,792 over Evans and Irbj\ Mr. MoLaurin was, therefore, dolared tb? nominee of the party. In one of his campaign speeches, Ex Gov. Evans made the statement that Col. W. A. Neal, Superintendent of the State Penitentiary, had taken the Keeley cure and ought to be in the Penitentiary in stead of over it. The latter, especially, is a serious charge, and Col. Neal cannot af ford to ignore it. >?Col. Neal filled the po sition he now holds ander Evans' Ad ministration, and if he is guilty of any crime the people should know itTCol.Neal should make Evans substantiate or retract the charge." One of the best representatives of the egro race, as well as one of the most sen sible, delivered an address in Washing ton, i>. C, recently, in whioh he gave some sound advice to the negroes. Amongst other things he said: "The best - friend of the Southern negro is the South ern white Democrat I assert that negro labor in the South is better paid, better treated and better fed than labor of the same grade in the North. I am firm in the conviction that the salvation of the colored race lies in making strong friends of those white Democratic neighborsand employers." This is good'sense. This man Is of the Booker Washington type, - who has realized that the only salvation of the negro lies In his disposition to be guided by tho white men amongst whom he lives, and by grace he must survive, if j eurvive he does. General Roy Stone, of the Agricultural Departmoot, whose specialty in the ser vice of the Government is the improve ment of the public highways, has com piled a great amount of data relative to the construction of the public roads in various parts of the country. Under his direction, during the past year, there have been sent oat several thousand cir culars to various county and State offi cials, asking) for information ,as to the cost and maintenance of various forms of specially constructed highways. Tho answers and the conclusions reached have been sent out to the county officials over the counUry. In a certain eense they are among the most important documents issnod from the Department, since they will undoubtedly have a great influence in the building up and improvement of the public highways. These reports may be had by application to the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. A special dispatch from Laurens says: In a short talk with Col. Irby he was ask ed, "What have you to say about the re cent primary?" To which heanswered: "I bave nothing to say except that Till mnn, protending to be 'hands off,' has sneaking ly come into the State and knifed me to the fat. I made Tiliman what he is to day. I never asked his support, and did not expect it. I gave him credit for being truthful when-he said he was 'hands oil.' When he attacked mo in his interviews I called hita down by telegrams. In his .answers he lied like a dog, but I was stopped. I made 'his fight to protect the poor people of the State against the rava ges of tho North. I expected Tiliman would help, because the poor people in the State made us what we are. As to MuLaurin, I have nothing to say. As to Tiliman, I put him upon notice that when we meet he may expect trouble. All I ask is thai; he give the rattlesnake's notice before he attacks. Further than this I baro nothing to say."

Boone and the Black Diamond Railroad. . Editor: The people* of our city may see from the resolutions adopted by the citizens of Abbeville that they are rully alive to their interest in" Col. Boone's Black Diamond Bail road to the sea: At a meeting of the merchants, busi ness men and other representative citi none of the city of Abbeville held this day in the Hall of the City Council in the interest of the grand through trnnk line o? railway, known as the "Black Diamond Bailroad," which is to extend from Indianapolis, Ind., via Carrollton and Lawrenceburg, Ky., .Telli co and Knoxville, Tenu., thence "by Wal halla, Anderson, Abbeville, and on to Pqrt Boyal, S. C. The following pream ble and resolutions were unanimously adonted: Whereas, the citizens of the City of Ab beville, S. C, having heard of the unpre cedented eacceeses which the promoters of the grand project of connecting the North, West and South Atlantic Seaboard by direct line of Bailway have met with in the way of subscriptions on the part of those living along the line of said pro posed Bailway, and believing that in it they see a guarantee beyond question of the ultimate success of the enterprise; And whereas, recognizing the vast ben fits that will assuredly result to their City and the surrounding community by reason of the construction of the proposed Railway, desire to put themselves on re cord as heartily endorsing the scheme. Therefore be it Resolved., First, That the people of the City of Abbeville extend their most hearty congratulations to Colonel Boone and the other active promoters of the scheme, which bids fair to culminate in the realization1 of a long-cherished hope on the part of many of bur people; upon the brilliant prospects and ultimate success in the groat under taking in which they are engaged. 2. That they- hail with unfeigned pleas ure the fact that Abbeville is pnt down as one of the points on said railway. 3. That they stand ready and willing to contribute liberally, not simply In good wishes, but of their means, to the very utmost of their ability, in aid of this grand enterprise. ? 4. That the action of this meeting bo published in the County papers, and a copy o? these resolutions be forwarded to Col. Boone at Knoxville, Tenu., by the Secretary of this meeting. B. M. Hill, Mayor. A. Cohen, Secretary. - The Public. Messenger, published at Dover, Ky., Sept. 4, has this to say: ' The West Union Scion says : The Black Diamond Railroad- project is booming. The surveying corps is heading this way and will reach West Union about the 6th of September. Ripley raised $15,000 and the first stake of the survey will be made to-day at 10 o'clock. The surveying corps can covo? about odo and a "half iniles a day, so that it will be some days before they will be here. Hon. Wm. Kirkby and Gen. J. C. J. Williams are with the corps. They are very much gratified over the ontlook. Col Boone w?l join the party in West Union and a monster railroad meeting will be held. The route runs entirely through the best part of Adams county, and the people are asked to raise but $20,000. It is a small amount considering what the county wiil gain by the completion of the road. Due notice will be given of the meeting and It is expected that all Interested in the project will turn out and give the neces sary encouragement. Mr. Boye*, the vice president of the local division of the road, met many old friends in Cynthiana who were glad to greet him again. He is enthusiastic in the belief that the road will be built and gives c ue an idea ot the earnestness of the Maso county people. Mr. H. W. T. Earnshaw, of the engineer ing corps, remains In Cynthiana to assist the gentlemen who are working for the road. He has lately been to Germantown and vicinity where the people are thor ou'ghly aroused to the importance of the Black Diamond enterprise. Gen. Wil liams, who spoke so eloquently at the meetings Monday afternoon and evening and who is so thoroughly in earnest about securing the railroad is a lawyer of dis tinction. During President Cleveland's first term he was U. 8. district attorney. He occupies an enviable position at the bar and is an bld-iashioned Southern gentleman of culture and refinement" From these clippings it will be seen that Col. Boone has some able assistants, and they are meeiing with that sort of co-op eration from the people that insures the building of the road. When Col. Boone has finished his pre liminary work in Ohio and Kentucky, he expects to come South from Knoxville. Our people may rest assured that Col. Boone means business?that is, he intends to build the Black Diamond Bailroad to the sea. The completion of this road will be a monument to Col. Boone?a prize worthy of his genius. It is one to give him hope and .inspiration. There in not a hill, valley or dale over and through which the loaded trains will thunder along but what will echo and re-echo his name. I woold rather be the instrument in building such a road through this South land than to be the machine President of some party. Our people need to be ready to do our part whon the time comes, so that w e may reap the great benefits to b9 derived ?rom the road when built. J. L. Tbibole. Good-bye to the Constables. Columbia, September 2.?The bright new day in politics in thi3 State is shin ing with unusual and unexpected splen dor. McLaurin's election seems to have marked a distinctively new era so far as the dispensary Is concerned. One of the sores of the State, and one which has caus ed inox e friction than any other one thing in the l ast few years, has been the con stabulary force. Senator Tillman has said that the dispensary law could not get along without the constables; that they were the backbone of the law. Gov ernor Ellerbe thinks differently, and to day announced that on the 1st of October he woe Id dismiss the entire constabulary force. This was somewhat unexpected, but in this day and time there are slips between the enp and the Hp. The people generally had begun to give up all hope of ever seeing the removal of the constab ulary system, which has caused so many riots and homicides and all manner of disturbance of the peace of the State. Matters had, perhaps, adjusted them selves so, and the people had been so ac customed in the days of Tillman and Evans to hope for no change that they were taking the constabulary as best they could. To-day when the newspaper men went into the Executive office Governor El lerbe eaid that he had a brief statement to make. He did not have anything special ly prepared, but said in an off-hand man ner: "On the 1st of October I expect to withdraw all constables from towns and cities. There will only be a few consta bles retained to suppress 'blind tigers' and the like. A few will be retained to look after the county where there are no I police. The enforcement of the law will be left entirely to the municipal authori ties, and I will ask their support and co operation in enforcing the law." Then Governor Ellerbe went on to spy that the constabulary force cost the State last year$52,03i).G6, and this great expense could very well be saved, and he thought by eeourlng the co-operation and sympa thy of the municipal authorities more suc cess would be bad in the enforcement of the law. "The constables will have nothing whatever to do with making raids, ar rests or anything else in the towns and cities of the State. Those matters will be left entirely to the municipal authorities," said Governor Ellerbe. He went on to say that he gave out this statement to-?3y so as to give the constables about a month's time In which to securo other employ ment. Governor Ellerbe did not care to have anything ta say on matters which might be expected to boar upon the constabula ry situation. So much for to-day ?X least, v There are now between forty-five and fifty mon employed on the constabulary force, about the same number that has beeo employed all along.?News and Courier. ? While stopping one night at a farm house in Missouri a traveler was aston ished-to see his hostess walk up to her husband about every fifteen minutos and box his ears or give his hair a pull. In the morning the guest, eeeiug the woman alone, asked an explanation of hor strange conduct, and her reply was : "You see, stranger, me and the old man has been figbtln' for ten years to see who shall boss this 'ere ranch, and I have jest got him cowed, but if I should let up on him for a day he would turn on me again and my work would all go for nothin'." ? A London physician, Dr. Marcot, an nounced his reasons for thinking that asthma may be relieved or cured if the patient will ride a bicycle. His theory is that "training of the respiration" should have an effect like that of practicing climbing on those who suffer from mountain sickness. In practice he cites the case of an asthmatic person who took to very moderate bicycle riding, and now finds the attacks much fewer, while "the tightness and wheezing which occurred every night have dieappeared." > Moseley News.

He also requests us to nay that wnen he feels the need of a guardian he will apply to those whom he thinks are more wor thy. In connection with this we will add that two other old slow things are com ing in for a good ebare of all that is being tattled, added and multiplied, through this vicinity, and if they continue, ere long they must engage somebody to at tend to their own business for them, while they are peddling out that nasty, stuff tbey are calling news, which, in re ality, is nothing but brasa lies with a lid on and a lon<: handle.

The better class of tho people of South Carolina are weary of the litigation, the turmoil and strife which have succeeded tho establishment of the dispensary sys tem of selling liquor within our borders, and their hearts yearn for peaoe and rest. Many loyal people approve of the dispen sary eyetem, but condemn the manage ment, and deem it, as it is to-day an un holy outrage. Tho dispensary has never yet been run on an economical plan, and the goods handled have never been sold at fair prices. Everyone who has drank liquors knows this. One can buy better liquors for less money in Charlotte or Augusta than at on o of our dispensaries. There is no honest reason why this should be so. The dispensary management alone is responsible for the imposition. It is but natura!, then, thai people rebel. Biind tigers are thus encouraged. These are watched, caught and punished. The order business hau been persecuted and prosecuted, and original package stores are the rosulr. These are hampered, and though the Courts sustain them tbey are burdened with costs of litigation. The original package stores are here to stay, in our opinion, as long as tho dis pensary stays. The dispensary law has created more litigation than any other cause we know of, and we are no nearer the end now than we were at the begin ning. The people are tired of it, and they want rest from the strife. If the matters pertaining to the sale and nee of liquors in the State cannot be set at rest, then may the coming Legislature pass a law giving us prohibition puro and simple. In the meantime the people "pay the fiddlers," while the music goes on.?Prosperity Advortiscr. Care fer Headache.
