SYM PTOM s..

The symptoms OF Catarrh are at first very
siight. Persons find they have a cold, that
they have frequent attacks, and are more sem
sitive to the changes of temperature. In this
condition The nose may be dry, or a light dis
charge, thin and acrid, Afterwards thick and
adhesive, may ensue.
AS the disease becomes chronic, the dis
charges are increased in quantity and changed
in quality; they are now thick and heavy. and
are hawked or coughed off. The secretions
are offensive, causing a bad breath; the voice
thick and nasal; the eyes are weak; the sense
of smell is lessened or destroyed; deafness
frequently takes place.
Another common and important symptom Of
Jatarrh is, that the person is obliged 20 clear

DEBATING SOCIETY.

A few evenings since, at a pleasant gathering
of friends OF the house of one of our hospitable
citizens the suggestion was made by distinguished
gentleman present that the young men Of Ander-
son should form an old-fashioned Debating Society.
The idea was SO forcible and pertinent that we
have deemed it proper to rentilate the suggestion
through these columns. The gentleman referred
to, one of the most successful and prominent law
yers attributes in great measure his facility in
public speakingt one of these Societies, in which
he was an active participant some thirty years ago.
What say our young men and boys to the fOrma-
ton of Society which will vastly improve the
mind, promote Thought and action, and perhaps
bring to light talents of high order that may now
be hidden from view? We hope for IN earnest
response, and are authorized to state that many
of our leading citizens will encourage the move
and cooperate in this laudable undertaking.

POST oFFIcEs DIscoNTINUED.

The Postmaster at this place has received in
structions from the Department at Washington to
discontinue the delivery of mails for offices
where there is no regularly appointed person to
receive them. The refusal of Congress to modify
the test oath has necessitated this action upon the
part of the Postmaster General, and cores
ponding necessity for people to secure the SER
vices, if possible, of those who can subscribe to
the aforesaid oath. If none such can be found,
the recent mail arrangements throughout the Dis
trict will be permanently disarranged, and other
arrangements to secure the delivery of packages
must be determined upon. Rocky Ridge, Shall
low Ford, Townville and the Post Office ut this
place are the only Offices now open, and it be-
hooves our fellow citizens to make every laudable
effort to secure the transmission of mails by the
authorized carriers.

uTEE sITUATIoN.n

European advices to the 1st instant bring no
definite information as regards the conference of
all the powers involved in the impending i'm
broglio. The time of meeting is not agreed upon,
and it is merely supposed that LOUIS NAPOLEON
will preside. Meanwhile, the work of prepara-
ton for war is continued, and belligerent forces
are being rapidly mobolized.
The most ridiculous JfascO of the present centu-
ry, s.the Fenian War;" hos suddenly collapsed.
The invasion of Canada terminated in q fight near
the boundary line, in which the Fenians were
routed and dispersed. Disprited and demoral-
lied, the deludcd Irish gladly accepted transpor-
tation and have sought their homes.
Congress has been doing little or nothing du-
ring the week past Many are absent from their
seats. There is some talk of adjournment
The trial of JEFFERSON DAVIS is postponed un-
til October next. In oil probability bail will be
granted for the distinguished prisoner, provided
the question is settled that the Courts have the
power. Otherwise, he may be liberated on parole.

THE EDITORS EGER1A.

From the frequent wailings of the honorable
fraternity to which we belong, one would presume
that there were no bright oases in the broad and
blank desert of an Editors life. But the informa-
ton is at length given that there is one spot on
this green earth where the happiness and comfort
of poor editors are most sedulOusly cared for
That place is Union Springs, Alabama, and the
public may confidently look forward to general
stampede of the ''press gang" in that direction,
unless other communities can be induced to emu
late the example which is thus pathetically placed
before them:
"Union Springs, Alabama, must be rice place
for an editor. The editor of the Times, published
at that place, acknowledges the receipt CT batch
of Canada papers from lady, some turnips from
another, az plate of 'good things" from third,
and carriage ride rendered by tie same lady,
(imagine an editor in carriageI) a box of pigs
from gentleman and "cold drinks" from, another.
Who wouldn't like to publish a paper in such q
place."

ANOTHER HOT SUPPER.

We are pleased to announce that the ladies Of

giving.a Hot Supper OF the Masonic Hall on this
(Thursday) evening. The object had in view, to
wit, re-ftting and repairing the interior of the
Church, is most praiscworthy, and we heartily
commend the occasion to lovers of the substantial

undoubtedly provide bountifully, and there need
be no hungry people in town tonight. Tickets of
admission 25 cents, to be had at the principal
stores and at the postofice

THE TERM uFENrAN.n

Since the recent excitement created by the or
ganization known as Fenians, We have been re-
peatedly asked as to the origin of the term. The
following explanation is authorized by Head Centre
STEPHENS, who is supposed to be autait in oil mat
tcrs pertaining to his erratic and ouixotic Broth
erhood:
"Every student of Irish history will recollect
that achieftain existed in Ireland just anterior to
the Christian era, named Fion McCuol. This per-
sonage vas the commandant of the, Fenian Erin
or Irish militia at period when Ireland was
nation, and her people protected themselves against
the encroachments of all invaders. AS the present
organization is instituted for the same purpose,
after the foreign robber shall have been expelled,
the name of Fenian was adopted for the branch OF
the brotherhood in the United States"

STATE NEWS.

The Darlington Southernsr hears doubtful &C.
counts Of the crop prospect. Much of the cotton
is dying, and the freedmen are indolent, perversc
ard disobedient. with few exceptions.
The Cheraw Advertiser states that during the
week preceding there was almost deluge of rain,
with consequent bad effects upon the crops.
The Yorkgiilc Enquirer has an account of des-
tractiye storm Of wind and hail, on Saturday pre-
yious, passing throughthe central portion Of that
District, and resulting in great damage to the
wheat crops And on Tuesday another terrific
tornado passed from the same direction, uprooting
trees and unroofng houses. The streets and dside-
walks of Ycrkyille we're literally covered by the
debris of the storm. ssThe crops must have suf-
fered additional heavy injury"
e The Sumter Netcs learns that Mr.. w. G. Duncan
has been appointed Postmaster at that place. !.
The Pickens Courier is of opinion that the yield
of wheat in that District will be good, although
there is some rust. The "oldest inhabitant" of
Pickenshas not before Witnessed the fall Of so much
and such heavy rains as have recently visited
many portions of the District. The soil, in some
sections, has been badly washed. The Courier re-
grets to learn that q private of the 18th Maine
Volunteers, OF garrison duty at Walhalla, was
..ambushed and fred into" one night recently, the
ball passing through his uniform. The editor
properly adds that .'such conduct, if persisted in
by the turbulent in midst, cannot fail to pro-
duce the most disastrous consequences
The Marion Star says that Lewis ]. Harrall, the
murderer of DR.. James Jarrett, one of the most
psominent physicians in that section of the State,
exfated his crime upon the gallows on Friday the
lst Instant. Reports from different parts of she
District represent crops generally as looking
rather sAkly, particularly cotton. The store

Obhuarp.

DIED, June 8, 1866, near Abbeville, So. Ca,
PRESTON BELCHER in the nineteenth year of
his age.
He was manly youth, an afrectionate son and
brother and warm-hearted friend. He gave
promise of becoming an honored and useful citi-
zen. All who knew him loved him, and many
there are to sympathize deeply with the bereaved
household He was spared through the closing
scenes of the late war to die among those who
were dear to him.
He fell asleep in Jesus 1t was given him to
behold the Sinners Friend, and by faith to stake
the salvation of his immortal soul upon the So
viour's infinite love and mercy. None ever trusted
Him in vain.
He is not dead but asleep, and them that sleep
in Jesus will God bring with Him. Weep not for
him. Let his memory be cherished as of one who
has only gone before US, and whom We shall see
again and let the Saviour be adored as the Re-
deemer of another Of our loved Ones 8.

THE BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD.

At meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Blue Ridge Railroad Company, held in Charleston
two weeks ago, the following gentlemen were ap-
pointed Committee to visit Cincinnati and other
Western cities relative to the enterprise of connect
ing Charleston and Cincinnati by railway:
JOHN T. SLOAN, President, and Messrs. G. A.
TRENHOLM, HENRY GouRDIN, EDWARD FROST, G.
M. FuRMAN, II. NJ. JOHNSON, B. F. PERRY and J..
P. REED. -
In accordance with this appointment, our fellow
townsman, Col REED, has taken his departure to
ioin the other members of the Committee in their
visit to the commercial metropolis of the great
West. His eminent ability and active public spir-
it, together with his accumulated information of
years upon the subject of Railroads and the re-
sources Of the country which this Road will pene-
trate, cannot fail to make him leading member Of
the Committee, and will undoubtedly exercise a
material influence upon the capitalists of that Sec
ton to induce them to contribute literally towards
the completion of an enterprise which will rebound
to their aggrandizement and prosperity. No bet
ter selection from this region could have been
made, and we are rejoiced that the interests of
people are COuuueu W tlI6 CdIo Va Ouo oo tio
oughly acquainted with their wishes and aspira-
tions
The resuscitatiQn of this work will do more to
revive the languishing spirits Of our people than
aught else which could be devised, whether poiti-
ical. commercial or social. The energies of all
were vigorously directed tohis enterprise in other
DAYS, and though indefinitely deferred the citizens
of this section have always maintained steady
belief that the Road would some day be completed.
Now that the finances of our State, in common with
all other things, lie prostrate and crippled, the OBJ
iect is well worth the effort to induce assistance
from those who are yet able TO lend helping
hand in the furtherance of project designed to
bring the utmost prosperity and pecuniary adj
vantage to both sections, less than to knit with
hooks of steel the intimate relations of the two
Queen citics-South and West.
The friends of the Road will await with anxiety
the report of the Committee, and in the meantime
we hope to keep our readers advised as to the eff
forts on their important mission
