Anderson Intelligencer. PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY. J. F. CLINKSCALES, ) EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, PROPRIETORS. TERMS : ONE YEAR.?1 60 SIX MONTHS . 75 WEDNESDAY, NOV. 17, 189-3 Thc cool weather has put a check to the spread of yellow fever in the gulf district, and the rigid quarantine has been raised in that section. The State Fair in Columbia last week was a success in every respect. The exhibits were fine, and thc at tendance was larger than it has been in years. New varieties of cotton are beirjg numerously propogated, so reports go. A variety that will bring more than 5 cents in the markets would strike a popular chord with farmers just at present. E. A. Webster, of Oraogeburg, the Republican boss of South Carolina, has been appointed Collector of In ternal Revenue for this State. He held the same position under Presi dent Harrison. We have received a copy of the first issue of the Greenwood Index, which made its appearance last week. W. Gr. Chafee is the editor. It is brim full of interesting matter, and has our best wishes for its success. Preston Rion, a son of the late Col. James H.'Rion, has been appointed Postmaster at Winnsboro. He was endorsed by Mr. Webster, and the ap pointment is very much appreciated by the people of Winnsboro. Democrats control the Ohio Senate, but the Republicans have the House and five majority on joint ballot. The Wood County case was settled by the Court in favor of the Republicans. There is still talk of a combine against Hanna for Senator. Judges Pardee and Newman, of the United States Circuit Court in At lanta, handed down a decision last Saturday compelling the Southern Railway to haul the goods of the At lanta whiskey dealers into th;is State. This is another victory for the origi nal package dealers. m. m - Alabama is furnishing 100,000 tons of coal to Mexico for her railroad loco motives in competition with English coal. Here is another important Americau industry finding a foreign market. English coal cannot suc cessfully compete with the products of the rich fields of the South. Judge Izlar has been suggested as a fit candidate for the Judgeship of the First Circuit, and the Columbia Reg ister is authority for the statement that he has consented to run. Judge Izlar's many friends throughout the State would be, more than pleased to see him again elevated to the Bench. The "Southern Farmer and Horti culturist," published twice a month at Newberry by E. H. Aull, and edited by Prof. J. S. Newman, of Clemson College, has made its appear ance. It is devoted to thc develop ment of Southern agriculture and to the interest of the farm, garden and household. It is well worth the sub scription price-one dollar a year. The preliminary report of the De partment of Agriculture at Washing ton in reference to the yield of cotton has been made public, and indicates an average yield of 1S1. pounds per acre. The State averages are as fol lows: North Carolina 184, South Caro lina 189, Georgia 178, Alabama 155, Mississippi 220, Louisiana 245. Texas 155, Tennessee 152, Oklahoma 155, Indian Territory 200. - .^a - 0 wm Tlie Dispensary supporters believe that the only show for the mainten ance of the State's liquor shops is for Senator Tillman to return and enter the race for Governor next year. It is reported that Mr. Tillman has made the statement that he would, if neces sary, resign from the Senate and make the race for Governor on that issue, but we do not believe he will ever do so. The killing of Turner by Newbold ia Spartanburg last week is another outrageous crime that can be laid at the door of thc dispensary system. The murdered man was an upright, law-abiding citizen, and his life was worth more tlian all the profits that ever can be yielded by the dispensary. Newbold is a State constable and there was no excuse for his crime. Ile shoald be captured and pay the pen alty of his crime. Once more Mr. Neill comes to the front with his cotton estimates. On the first of September, or thereabouts, he guessed that the crop would reach tan and a half million bales. Ile now revises this guess so far as to announce that the minimum yield of the Ameri can crop will be ten and a half million huies, and predicts that the price in Liverpool will fall to 2 7-Sd. This means about 5 cents on this side, and even less, for the average grades. g'For thc first Ttime in seven years there is au insufficient supply of labor in thc coal and iron region of Ala bama, annouuecs thc New York Mail and Krjn-ess. The industrial devel opment in that State has been so rapid and tho demand for its products ha5; grown so enormously that employers are advertising in other States for ad ditional labor. The situatiou is with out precedent in that section and it foreshadows an era of widespread ac tivity and prosperity for Southern in dustry. . _ Thc Cotton Growers' Convention to be held in Atlanta on the 13th of De cember may be able to accomplish some good if the politicians are kept out of it and made to understand that their services are not needed. Here tofore every movement inaugurated by the farmers for their mutual benefit has been captured by the politicians who would use it for their own selfish motives, and who, by attempting to array the farmers against every other class or business interest, would crip ple the organization and destroy its im uence. This is an agricultural country, and everybody is interested in the welfare and success of the farmers, for their success means the success of every other busiuess. At the same time the farmer needs the encouragement and aid of every other business man, and he will have it if he refuses to make war on other avo cations. Past experience should be a lesson to them. Attention, Prohibitionists ! TOWN VILLE, S. C., Nov. 14, 1897. To the Voters of Anderson Count;/: It ia only a few weeks before the convening of the General Assembly. The condition of affair! will necessitate some change in the present management of the whisky traf fic in this State. We cannot afford to go back to the open saloon under uny condi tions, nor can we hope for anything much better under the present state of af fairs. The people of South Carolina voted for prohibition, and they are far more unanimous for it to-day than ever before. The failure of the dispensary has solved the matter o half-way, half-hearted, com promising work. We cannot afford to make any compromises or concessions to the heartless monster, which is the source of so much pauperism, misery and crime. Will some one whose heart is in the work, who is a friend to humanity and loyal to God, at each voting precinct in Anderson County, secure the blank peti tions from Thos. LaMotte, 1521 Main St., ana get all the voters of his precinct to sign the petition, to be presented at the next General Assembly, asking them to make such changes in the laws a3 will prohibit the manufacture and sale of in toxicating liquors as a beverage. When all the names are secured, who will sign it, return the list to Mr. LaMotte to be presented to the Legislaturo at tho oppor tune time. Don't delay in this matter, for the time is Bhort. Don't think some body else will attend to this; they may not, and this is your business, you who read this, I am speaking lo. You as one who must give an account to God for the innocent blood you might have saved. You can't afford to leave a rattlesnake in your house tc bite your children, neither can you afford to die and leave this mon ster demon in the land to destroy your children and grandchildren, and rob and dishonor your God. May your conscience and reason stir you up. J. F. SINGLETON. Cotton Growers' Association. EDITORS INTELLIGENCER: You have doubtless seen an account of the action taken by the Cotton Growers' Associa tion, which met in Columbia during Fair week. The general opinion by those in formed as to the cause of the low price of cotton nov/, is that it is caused by inocu lation in "futures " We decided in th t convention to call a meeting in each County in South Carolina for tho first Monday in December, and urge every cotton "grower, with bankers, lawyers, merchants, and all the professions who are interesad in advancing the price of cotton, to meet at the County seat in each County at that time and aid in every way possible in this undertaking. I, there iore, ask that you publish in your paper a notice of the meeting and urgo through the editorials a full attendance. We want a grand rally on the first Monday in De cember, and desire tho presence of every, man in Anderson County who is inter ested in advancing the price of cotton. Wo expect concert of action throughout this State and the Soathern cotton grow ing States, and have no doubts as to the result of prompt, united, decided action. Very respectfully, A. C. LATJMER. Jloseley News. Messrs. John A. and J. Riss Drown came home last week from Lincolnton, Ga-, after an agence of four weeks. Mr. Walter Newby went to Lisbon, Ga., last week to see his parents and frieuds. Miss Nora Barton, lroni Anderson, ia spending two weeka here with relatives and friends. MM. E. P. McAdams, formerly of this place, now residing at Athens, Ga., spent a ffiw days here last week. Miss SlH;>gie Brown, with her brother, Charles, spent a few duys in Georgia re cently. Occasionally we hear of a corn shucking. The last one was at Mr. J. M. Stack's and was attended by both young and old, great and small of both sexes. There was an abundant supply of candy and chewing gum for.the fair sex, and for the young heroes whiaky just went there in a large tin bucket, but without the knowledge or approval of the gentleman of the house Howbeit, the corn was shucked, tufter which the crowd (total 63) repaired to the dining room, and found the table fairly groaning under the weight of the many good things that had been prepared for them, and they all had plenty and to spare, and went home rejoicing, but its hard, hard times. The Wesleyan Methodists of this vicini ty, will assemble in Fellowship Church on the night of the 24th inst., and spend the eutire night giving thanks and praise and asking special blessings. We are told also that there will be a gathering imilar in purpose in the M. E. Church here on the same date. The farmers are about done gathering and are improving tho time by cursing the money powers and abusiug the merchants. We move and second the motion thut they let upon the merchant and buy, borrow or beg a kicking machine and attach themselves thereto and let it on with full force until they are willing to admit that they tried to glut the world in cstton in stead of niuking a living at home We farm to make a living, and to enrich our selves, and the merchant sells goods to live and to make money, and in tho spring the farmer wants him to run him, and at this heaaon he hales bim because he does run him. Again, we say, let up oa the mer chant. Show bim that you enjoy it as well an you did when you were buy ing his gooda on time. We have had one or two light frosts, but j of no consequence. The health of our place is tolerably good, j A few marrriagts are booked tor the near-by. PEDRO. Znrlinc Zigzags. The languor and dreaminess of hazy Indian Hummer i3 over, and tho cool, bracing atmosphere of November is here once again, giving everyone a real long ing for something of hard work to do. The cotton fields, which, a few weeks pasr,mieht havo been compared to a snow bank, are now looking bare and naked. Everybody is almost through picking cotton, and many of them have hauled it to the market and-just gave it away. There wili be as great a famine here as there is in tho European countries if the farmers don't stop giving their cotton away. Digging potatoes is now the order of the day. On account of tho long drought thia summer the potato crop is very hort. Jack Frost was rather late coming this year, bu , for the past few weeks his vis its have been very frequent. The union meeting met at Mt. Bethel Church last fifth Sunday. Quite a num ber of our young peopie attended. Mr. Hugh Bowen, one of our most en ergetic young men, worshipped at Belton the first Sunday. Zarline Academy opened Monday with Miss Leslie Branyon, president, and Miss Cora Elgin, assistant. Kev. P. G. Hopper preached an excel lent sermon Sunday morning at Littie River, taking for his te:ct the 8th chapter and 28th verse of Romans. Our farmers are showing their good sense in sowing larger cropa of wheat this year than usual. If all the farmers would follow suit, times would be better any how. Some of our young people worshipped at Due West Sunday. Misses Cray ton and Bertie Robinson re turned home Monday after a brief visit to friends at Dean's Station. Miss Emma Shirley, who has been on the sick list for eome time, is now conva lescent. Mr. and Mrs. D. Dunlap, of Annie, vis ited relatives in this eection Friday and Saturday. Quite a number from here took in the State Fair at Columbia last week. The wedding bells are pealing forth their sweet chimes, and ere many moons shall wax and wane, several hearts shall be made happy, What is lt that is so near? Thanks giving Day. Hurrah for the fat turkey! Is the podding done? We hold Thanks giving very dear. It only comes just once a year. We couldn't stand it more, we fear. We eat BO much Thanksgiving Day. BROWN EYES. Boleman News. Misse? Gertie and Lutie MabafFsy have gone to Hopewell, to attend school at that place, which is taught by their brother, Prof. L. M. Mabaffey. Miss Gertie will be cmploved as hi3 assistant. Mrs. Wm. McGukin, of Atlanta, Ga, was in this section visiting friends and relatives laBt week. Mrs. McGukin was the widow of the late Rev. Samuel Isbell, before her marriage to Mr. McGukin She was for a long time a resident of the Fork, aDd has many friends here who were glad to meet her. In our last communication, in speaking of Miss Mamie Jolly going to Augusta, to spend several months with her sinter, Mrs. Claude E. Skelton, tho printer made a mistake, which made us eay Golly, which bhould huve bof n Jolly. Mrs. Wm. Waddell, who has been in feeble health for some lime, we are sorry to say is very sick again. The members of the Double Springs Baptist Church have made all necessary arrangements for the entertainment of tbo Sunday School Convention, which will convone there next Tuesday and Wednes day. Mr. C S. Maret is erecting a neat and substantial cotton house that will add much to the appearance of his place when completed. Rumor bas it that there will be several marriages in the Fork this fall and winter, which will include some of our widowers and widows. The patrons of the Tuga loo school have succeeded in securing Miss Maude Cromer to teach for them this session. Miss Maude bad comm ced to teach the Dou ble Springs Behool, but owing to some dis agreement with her and the trustees of that school she gave up the school at that pla^ and deoided to teach at Tagaloo. She taught for us at Tugaloo last year and we were well pleased with her as a teacher. We are glad to be able to secure her again this session. Maj G. W. Maret and wife, of near Boleman, paid their old friends. Mr. and Mrp. James A. Gartt, of near Townville, B viait last Friduy. We aro having some exceptionally fine weather for sowing ou'r small grain crop. SCRIUCLEB. Holland's Store Items. Our community waa enddened ou last Sunday morning when it was known th?.t Mr. L M. Tilley wes dead. Though not unexpected, it nevertheless r?ent a thrill of sorrow through our heart*. Some ten days ago he was stricken with paralysis of the brain, and was for thc greater part of the time, until deotb' nticanscious. Mr. Tilley had passed the three acoro and ten mile post of life, but being all bis life an active business man was well preserved and would have passed for many years young er. Asa friend :md neighbor, as a kind and indulgent father, as an unassuming, God-fearing man, he will he missed-miss ed by his pastor and Cnurcb, ruined by all who knew him. His body waa laid besid'i that of his wife in tho Providence Cemetery, on the day following his death to await the tina! resurrection, a large con course of friends and relatives witnessing the services, which were conducted by his former pastor, Rev. T. A. Thornton, of Hartwell, Ga., from John 13:7. It wa-, a most appropriate and timely sermon. The grief-stricken children and other relatives have tbesympathy of a host of friends in this sad hour of affliction. Cotton picking still continues. Wheat and oat sowing has begun. Corn has bren gathered. Potatoes aro noe as good as we would like, but w-i re nnvertkeless thank ful. 'Possums are fat, 'aimmoAs and lo custs are bountiful, and it only requires a littlo eifert to have plenty of meat and something to drink as well. Rumor says that wedding bells will ring ere long in this neighborhood. We will see. BURKE. J __ Alice Dots. Well, Mr. Editor, we ail are coming to the show on the 20th. Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Boyd, of Bowen ville, Ga., were visiting in thia communi ty last week. The young folks of Ibis section meet about once a week to shake their feat. A ood number of our citizens are at tending the tent meeting at Cooks. A big tent show will toe at thin pince on the 2(ilh inst. You boys and young men who go to Church and carry pistols in your pockets, ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Mr. Edgar Blauchet has moved to Ab beville to work in tbe cotton mill. It seems that W. P. Bell and R. M. Roe have gone into the real estate business. Mr. Tom. Townsend went to Giorgia last week on a businoss trip. Well, we are all growing fat and getting rich o T cent cotton. Home of our neighbors are feasting on fresh meat. Our farmers are sowing wheat. Mr. J F Gilliard and Mrs D. B. Hall have gone to North Carolina on busiuess.

"What will be thc future of thc ho?? What will his numbers bc? What will his price bc? What will his individ uality bc? Fifty years ago they raised cotton in the Southern States and sold it for 50 cents a pound. Thc producers made money: they bought their pre visions elsewhere. Cotton decreased in value to 2") cents a pound, but still they grew it at a good profit, and bought their flesh food of the corn producing States. But cotton came down to 1") cents a pound and still they produced it. But necessity is the mother of invention, and about this time the cry went up, "What shall we do to bc saved?" They be gan to sec that they could not produce their chief product so cheaply and buy one of thc great necessities abroad. Can wc raise corn and hogs here at home? Experiment set in along that line and resulted favorably. Cotton came on down to 10 cents a pound, experimenting became general, and it was demonstrated that the sunny South was self-sustaining, and no longer de pended on her Northern neighbors for her meat product. . Cotton came on down to 3 cents a pound and even lower, and the people of the South turned their attention to ward stock and grain raising, and as a result the South is developing into a wonderf ahcountry, and it is destined to rival what we call thc great corn-pro ducing States in the number of hogs and bushels of corn. And instead of thc once valuable buyer and consumer that she was, she has become almost self-sustaining, and very soon will be throwing her pro duct on the markets of the world cheaper than her Northern sister Statesc an possibly do.-Drovers' Jour nal. - The movement in some of the church ea in New York to abolish Santa Claus, on the ground that he is of pagan origin, hs making a certain degree of progress. Dr. John Hall has barred Santa Claas from his ch urch, the Rev. S. Park s Cad man will oleo obliterate him from the Christ mas observance this year, and Mrs. R. S. Townsend, who is well known in mis sionary work, is doing what she can against tne ancient presiding spirit of the festival. The sentiment in his favor, however, is so* overwhelming that St. Nicholas is likely to maintain his place in the minds and hearts of children the world over. - It is with narrow-fouled people as with narrow-necked bottles ; the less they have in them, the more noise they make in pouring it out. - If we see nothing good in others they will not be likely to see much good in us. - The world will never got any bettor until children aro an improvement on their parents. - It would keep a half dozen harvest ing maohines busy gathering in the crop of wild oats sown by some young men. - If all the lies told in a political cam paign were nailed, the nail factories would have to run twenty-four hours a day. - The druggist would rather sell a pound of cure than an ounce of preven tion. - Some men grieve two dollars' worth over every dollar they lose. - A cheap watch is usually in sympathy with tho eight hour movement. - Any fool can lay plans, but it takes a wise man to hatch them out. - Tho man who attends strictly to his own business has a good, steady job. - Some men aro so exceedingly modest that they shun tho naked truth. - Cows are now milked by machinery, but the milk is watered by bandas usual. - Admit the right, though you are obliged to say, "I was mistaken." - It is hard to feel at home with people wbu never make mistakes. - Be the kind of mau that you would liko to h ive your boys become.

G np JU THE ALLIANCE STORE will go out of business at the close of tin's year, if not earlier. My physicians have advised that I cannot stand the strain of the mercantile business any longer. The Directors of the Store are unwilling to accept ray resignation as Manager and elect another man iu ray place. So the only alternative left is to close out, and we realize fully in order to Jo so speedily it will be imperative to ofier great inducements in prices. Unfortunately for our Stockholders we bought a much heavier and better Stock of Fall and Winter Goods than ever before. It was an error in judgment, but I thought in July and August that we were making a big crop in this country, and would get a good price for it, but it is cut both ways, and our idea is the first loss i.s the easiest borne. We have a cash ofier from a party in New York to take our entire stock at so much on the dollar, but it is so much less than real intrinsic value for fresh, new, desirable Goods, we have decided that where we are forced to give away anything we prefer that our own people shall get the benefit of it. Hence we inaugurate A SLAUGHTER SALE All through the Store. Heretofore we have endeavored to maintain the one price system, but now in order to close out in a short while, quantities will necessarily be something of a leverage in prices, as it is necessarily less ex pense to close out quickly than to take a long time to do so. ' Again, it is impracticable to sell all lines at a uniform cut rate. It is im portant to reduce the stock uniformly, so as to keep a good assortment intact, thereby enabling us to fit up every customer. Any articles we are specially overetocked in we will naturally cut lower at first, and afterwards we may make further reductions on lines not moving so rapidly. For instance we are OVERLOADED in Shoes, Men's Clothing, Hats and Furnishings, And Ladies' Fine Dr^ss Goods* Millinery md Notions, And we have CUT PRICES on many of these Goods O THE Q.UICK; Remember, these Special Prices are for PROMPT CASH only.
