TRUST what Time has Sanctioned.

The maxim that the voice of the people is the
voice of the divinity, may in some cases, be-
open to doubt, but the testimony of honest and
enlightened witnesses extending through Sc
ries of years, and all to the same purpoxt, is
worthy of credence, admits Of no question:
Upon such testimony the reputation of Hostel
ters Stomach Bitters as an antidote and cure
for many ailments is based. During the twenty
years that it has been before the world, innu~
merable preparations intended to compete with
it, have gone up like rockets, and come downs
the extinguished sticks. Meanwhile the prog
ress of that incompatible tonic has been swift
and steady-always upward and onward, like
the eagles flight. Its Introduction produces,
revolution in therapeutics, and it proved to be
one of those salutary revolutions that cannot go
backwards. To-day Hostetter's Bitters is one
of the most popular remedies in christendom;
and commands larger sale than any other
medicinal preparation, domestic or imported,
on this side of the Atlantic. AS q cure for dys-
pepsia, bilious disorders, nervous affections,
general debility, and as preventive Of epidem-
ic fevers, it takes precedence of every other
remedy. This fact should teach the ambitious
country dealers who endeavor to foist their
local abortions on the public in its stead, how
futile their small attempts to cajole the COM
munity must necessarily be. Where the game
fish have failed there is no Chance for the
"suckerS." .,t

For the anderson Mtelliqencer.

The Committee of the Agricultural Associa-
ton have heard from many of the ladies of the
subj Committee, and are gratifed to know that
they are meeting with encouraging success in
their efforts in behalf of the enterprise they have
so generously consented to aid. AS the time
designated for holding the Fair list November)
is rapidly approaching, the Committee would
urge them to increase their energies, and
make the most of the short time now remain
ing.
By an oversight few of the ladies of the
subj Committee we're not furnished with their
lists. This was purely accidental. and we hope
they will do what they can.
The Committee would like to have report
from each member of the sub Committee at
least week in advance of the time of holding
the Fair. All contributions of money may be
left with either Capt Pegg or Mr.. N. K. sulli-
van and other contributions of poultry,
shoats, ham, &C., may be left with any mem
Der of The Committee within such time prece-
ding the Fair as will enable them to have the
same cooked and ready for the entertainment.

A REMEDY FOR POLITICAL EvILs.-We
have withheld the expression of any opinion
hitherto upon the proposed system of "cumula-
tive voting as remedy for evils inflicted up
on US by corrupt Government, because,
though the system was favored by many whom
we respect we had serious doubts of its policy
and its efficacy. Neither will we discuss the
subject now.
With regard to an educational qualification"
for suffrage, that, we think, is quite impractica-
BILE in this State.
There is remedy, however, which may yet
be practicable, and which certainly would
prove most eficacious. The great evils to be
remedied grow out of the Governments being
in the hands of those who are incompetent, cor
rupt and dishonest.
We propose that it shall be provided by law
that no public officer who shall have been
proved guilty of any corrupt or dishonest action
while in office, shall ever after be eligible to
any Office whatever.
We propose also that every person who shall
have been convicted of either grand or petit
larceny, or other infamous crime, shall forever
be debarred from the right of suffrage as well
as from eligibility to Office; and that in no case
whatever shall the Governor or any other au'
thority have power to restore the eligibility to
Office or the right of suffrage once forfeited.
We do not see what objection can be made
to this remedy except on the part OF rogues and
thieyes.-Sumter Neaos.

ARE WE IN WAR OR PEAcE?-Informatio
reached us that squad of United States SOL
diers, under command of Deputy United
States Marshal, went to the residence of j..
Banks Lyles, one morning last week, to arrest
him. Capt. Lyles was not at home, and the
soldiers broke down doors and behaved in very
unmanly manner. They rode their horses into
the front yard, took corn from Capt. Lyles' crib
and fed their animals there. Capt l.. is prin-
cipal of large male academy, and when the
squad arrived, the breakfast for the students was
either on the table or ready to be put there
This the soldiers took foreible possession of and
ate it up. If this report is true, we think it
the greatest outrage perpetrated upon any one
individual in this State, since Shermans bum-
mers left. Such conduct is allowed IN times of
war, but cannot be tolerated in time OF pro-
found peace.
The recent arrests in Spartanburg have been
accomplished too peaceably and quietly for the
Radicals in this State The leaders are disap-
pointed and chagrined at finding that our pee-
pie are ready and willing to submit peaceably
to the Federal authority. They hoped to find
resistance to that authority in South Carolina,
and in that way bolster up the infamous lies
they have issued against us. They, however,
are determined to do something that humanity
cannot submit to- in order to force resistance,
even though it comes from women and children,
80 that they may howl it into willing ears as
corroboration of their devilish lies Union
Times.

THE FAsHIoNsl

THE readers of the Intelhgeucer are assured
by the proprietor of the EMPORIUM OF FASH
1oN' at Abbeville, 8. c., that his stock of Dry
Goods and Millinery was never so large and

it comes to real handsome and stylish goods,
the Emporium of Fashion" is unsurpassed.
Especial attention is called 10 his stock of Dress
Goods, Shawls and Millinery, and to many ar
ticles useful and ornamental for ladies, not to

nlent, has been in Baltimore for two months
looking up and studying the styles. She is as
sisted by Miss SMALL, Mrs. WIER and Miss
GATOR.

Safety Driving Apparatus.

This is the name given to an invention by
Mr. John L. Arnold, of LowndesvilIe, which is
cutie novelty, and we think is destined to
create sensation wherever known. Mr. Ar
nold has applied for a patent and will probably
secure it in a few days. 1t is cheap, safe
eontrivance, and supercedes the expensive,
elaborate harness now in use. AS yet, the ap-
paratus is intended for use with single horse
in shafts, but we are told by the inventor that
it can easily be adapted to pair of horses
We will not enter upon detailed description
of this curious appliance, but will simply refer
10 its chief feature, namely, that of perfect Sc
,.eurity and safety in case of danger. Attached
to the bit and harness is 8 cord that can be used
to unhitch the horse; and in case Of necessity,
the driver can retain his seat in the buggy and
detach the horse from the vehicle in an instant,
at the same time controlling the shafts an6
stopping the vehicle. We understand that it
has been tested thoroughly, and has given en-
tire satisfaction to every person who has ex-
aminedit- As an evidence that the invention
Is considered an important one, we will state
that Mr.. Arnold has already received commu-
uaunications from Northern houses, whose rep
resentatiyes examined the model in the Patent
Office. in reference to the sale of the patent
night for the Northern States. The inventor
will exhibit the apparatus at our Fair in No
yember, when opportunity will be given to test
It's merits. A draft of this invention can be
saen at nrlr office

AT His Old Tricks.

Information was received here, some weeks
ago, that the notorious Harris, of manufactu-
ring fame, had been seen in Atlanta, Ca, by
one of our former citizens, and that inquiries
then Instituted had revealed the fact that he
was operating in the vicinity of Dalton under
the name of w. w. Thompson. He was bar
gaining for real estate, and intending to erect
magnificent steam tannery at Dalton. No steps
were taken to ascertain further news of Mr.
Harris alias Thompson, or to have him brought
back to the scene of his earlier labors in devel-
oping (7) the resources of this poverty-stricken
land Indeed, there is no process OF law to
compel his return, as we are informed, and there
is no likelihood that he will voluntarily give
our citizens an opportunity Of looking upon his
benign counteuance ever again. But II there
is any consolation in the old adage that "mis-
cry loves company" we think the annexed
paragraph from the Augusta Chronicle and
Sentinel affords that peculiar balm, as we are
satisfied that the individual in question is none
other than the veritable Harris, who duped our
citizens in similar style about eighteen months
ago:
An enterprising individual, calling himself
Thompson, went to Carrollton, professed to be
very wealthy, negotiated for property to the
value of $4,000, rented store, with the
ayowed intention of opening large stock of
goods, borrowed $4,000 from some confding
citizen, and left for parts unknown. All Car
rollton is inauiring for Mr.. Thompson" who
spells his name with 'p."
