sALEs-pAY aoss R IN ANDERSON.
The Intellieencer says: 1.-The property sales
in front of the courthouse were largely at
tended, and the bidding in several instances
was quite spirited. W.W. Humphreys. ESQ.,,
Judge of Probate, sold several tracts of land
as follow: 265 acres, $1965; 99s acres, s625;
40 acros, $3.50; IA acres in the village OF Bel
ton. $3.50; acre lotin Pendleton, $Soo sherlh
acres, at s485. Those prices indicate an in
creased value of land, Notwithstanding the
prospect of taxation. We talked with good
many farmers concerning their crops, and from
the best Information we can gather, the con-
clusiou is general that not more than half
crop of corn and cotton will be made in Ander-
son County. The cold weather early in August,
attended by partial rains, was succeeded BY
intensely hot and dry weather. and the last
drought has done far more injury than its
predecessor. Altogether, the signs indicate
scarcity Of breadstuffs and money"

Railroad was approaching the depot grounds

lumber and one box car were thrown from the
track by coming in contact WIN n, - COW. sS Inc
cipitated down the embanknent. The dam
age will amount to one thousand dollars, it
is said. The president OF the company has
ordered rigid investigation OF the facts at-
tending the occurrence.
SCALING OLD DEBTS.
The Walhalla Courier having stated that the
pro ,ess of scaling old debts originated at
Andersen, under the auspices Of General Har-
risor, the Anderson Intellgencer remarks
'In this our contemporary Is mistaken. l. was
first applied on this circuit IN the manner
stated, but the scheme originated in Edge6eld
two or three years ago when debts were scaled
at twenty-five 10 thirty cents on the dollar.
Governor Plckens was the first public man, go
far as our knowledge extends, who advocated
this course in reference TO ante-war obllga-
tiOns.
ANOTHER sLANDER REFUTED.
The AbbevIlle Press contradicts the Radical
falsehood which has been published that tho
Rev. Manning Brown, Of that place, had declined
to perform the funeral services ov.r the re-
mains OF G. w. Allen, deceased member Of
the consta abulary. The Press says ''Mr.
Brown authorizes US to deny this statement as
false in every particular. He WAS not at home
at the time of the application. and knew moth
ing Of it until his return. Had he been ap-
piled to, common humanity WOULD have pre-
cltoed his refusal"
