Two Years More of Sco:t.

How do our people, white and black, relish
the idea of DR.. Scott prescribing foE their
financial ills two years longer? 1t has been
understood that he would decline to serve be-
yond the present term, and not long ago in
Charleston he unequivocally declared that he
was not candidate for reelection. Although
his propensity for saying one thing and doing
another was perfectly familiar to us, it must be
confessed that we were not prepared to hear OF
his being candidate. Yet, the Chester Re-
porter thinks there is no doubt that Gov. Scott
will force himself upon the Radical party for re-
nomination. "The more the merrier," and the
better chance for grand split among the sup
porters of Grant, when they come to divide the
State Offices. This is all the consolation we
can derive from the prospective candidacy OF
the truthful, patriotic Scott, who is again will
ing to be inundated upon the altar of his
"beloved State"

For the Anderson htezHaencer.

Mr.. EDITOR: Reading an article in one of
your recent papers, "How shall the dead be
buried ?" my thoughts turned to our neglected
village churchyards, where sleep those dear to
us all, and 1 determined, through the columns
of your valuable journal, to call the attention
of the citizens of Anderson to them. One
would think this. unnecessary, for the homes OF
our dead should be sacred to US, and it should
be privilege to keep them in order, and pre-
serve them from the depredations of stock, &C.
Such, however, is not the case, and the condi-
ton of our cemeteries is a sad reflection on lis
all as individuals and as town. The Pres
byterian churchyard, used more generally as
town cemetery, is in sad condition. No order
or system preserved as to lots for burial, grown
up in weeds and nettles; and when an effort is
made by some individual to improve or beauti-
fly lot, the gates are left open, COWS stray in,
hedges of evergreens-the growth of years-are
eaten down and ruined, and the dust of those
dear to us as life itself is desecrated and neg
lected. know full well it is not within the
means of many to place such monuments or
enclosures as they would wish, (such is the
case with the writer,) but the yard could be
kept neat and clean, it could be laid out in
walks and squares, and thus preserve the
graves; and means surely could be adopted
by which the stock can be kept from the en-
closure.
Anderson boasts of her mercantile strength,
of her energy and steady improvement, and
surely her citizens vii! give of their riches to
make less gloomy the Getty of the Dead"
Beautiful flowers and rich evergreens might
make this spot even attractive. The decora-
tion of their graveyards is religious duty
with the Germans, handed down from genera
ton to generation, and by these means the
graves of our dear ones are less gloomy and
terrible to us, and it gives melancholy salts
faction to keep them in order and covered with
bright flowers. The briars and nettles grow
apace in our churchyards, until it is difficult
matter to get from grave to grave. The rains
have washed the yard, and in several instances
sunk the graves and removed the stone which
may have marked the spot, and it is wilder
ness which cries out against us as Christians
and people. 1t seems to me some fund might
be collected, for as I said before, we are all in
terested, and the place should at least be kept
"dccently and in order" Pardon me for con-
suming so much of your time, but it appeals
powerfully to my heart, and sadly am re-
minded that Oblivion grows more rapidly over
the grave than grass"

The Rock Mill Lantern oives a dets;,e

shall. 1t seems that report reached the mill
tary headquarters at Yorkyille that Dr. Avery
was at his home on visit to his wife and chill
dren. Therefore sergeant with a squad of
soldiers was dispatched to make the capture of
DR.. Avery. They reached the house between
12 o'clock and daylight, surrounded the prem
and thoroughly searched the whole house, in
Guiding the bed-chamber of the lady of the
house They also searched the premises. The
when the troops returned to headquarters. The
Lantern gives the following explanation of the
affair: cit was suspected that he was home on
visit to his wife and children. The report, it
seems, originated with an old colored man, who,
wandering in the woods somewhere near Dr::
Avery's place, came upon small pile of ashes
and few half burnt chunks. Contemplating
these ashes, the bright idea flashed upon him
that DR.. Avery had camped here the night be-
fore. The more the old darkey studied over
these ashes the more convinced he was that his
first impression was correct. He spread the re-
port. 1t reached the ears of some malicious
person, it is supposed; and thence it few to
headquarters. And the result-a midnight
military raid, wholly fruitless. In justice to
the soldiers we are glad to state that they be-
haved in most civil and courteous manner to-
wards Mrs. Avery and her children, making no
impertinent remarks, offering her no wanton
indignities, and conducting the search in as
quiet and peaceable manner as possible"

St. Johns Day.

Pursuant to announcement a special COM
munication of Hiram Lodge, No. 6S, A. F. NJ,
was held on Monday evening, the 24th inst.
1t was our pleasure to be present on that occa-
sion, which was appropriately celebrated by
the presentation of Past Masters Jewel
to R. W. Bro. James A. Hoyt by the Wor-
shipful Master on behalf of the Lodge. Bro.
S. M. Pegg, the Worshipful, presented the
handsome and costly Jewel, accompanied by
words eminently suited to the occasion. He
recounted the efficient and honorable services
of Past Master James A. Hoyt, to whose de-
voted efforts he attributed the prosperity of
Hiram Lodge. In this we are assured that he
represented fully the sentiments of the Lodge,
and visiting brethren, of whom there were a
goodly number present. Bro. Pegg concluded
by an earnest invocation for the prosperity and
happiness of our distinguished brother in his
onward Masonic career.
Then came the response, which was we'll
conceived and impressively and feelingly enun-
ciated, gaining the earnest and marked atten-
ton of all present. No one who listened to
this feeling address of Bro. Hoyt, embodying
q clear presentation of Masonic virtues and
obligations, could fail to be impressed with the
high mission of Masonry.
The presentation concluded, the craft was
called from labor to refreshment. The Stew
ards, not being unmindful of the wine and oil,
had prepared suitable repast for the occa-
sion. Intellectually and physically, it will be
pleasant to remember these things hereafter.

Psss Him Around.

The facts herewith appended are derived
from responsible source, and an anxiety to
prevent other communities from being imposed
upon, induces re to give publicity to this state
ment. One T. Cary Cole married lady Of
high respectabiity in this County, and after
wards decamped from this section, leaving his
family without protection. He went to Flori-
da, and there married another lady. When the
facts became known, he was indicted for biga-
my and lodged in Jail. The proof was abun-
dant TO secure his conviction, but he made his
escape on the 2Srd of May last from the Jail of
Columbia county, Fla, and has not been heard
from since He is about As years old, five feet
ten inches, weighs about 165 lbs, has blue eyes,
coarse auburn hair, with beard nearer red
than any other color, and possesses mean
countenance, according to our information. He
is very religious, and claims to be Hard-Shel
Baptist preacher.
Our exchanges will confer favor by giving
the purport of this information in their COL
umns, and in all probability arrest the career
of this gay Lothario in other places.

sa~ Mr.. Oscar L. Lindsay, of spartanburg,
died at the residence of Mr.. Samuel D. Smith,
four miles east of this place on Friday last, and
was buried at the Presbyterian churchyard on
Saturday. Mr.. Lindsay was young man Of
good character and fine intelligence, and was
gallant soldier in the late war, serving for n
time in Or's Regiment. He came to this
neighborhood several months ago, and was
taken sick at the residence Of Mr.. Smith, where
he received the kindest and most devoted at
tention for eleven weeks, until death ended his
suferings. His remains were followed to the
grave by many old comrades, who were warmly
attached to him in life, and who sorrowingly
deplore the loss of faithful soldier and kind
friend

The Weather and Crops.

!. This region of country was blessed on Sum
day and Monday last with copious and general
showers Of welcome rain, saturating che parch-
ed earth and enlivening the countenances Of
our farmers to an. extent that is truly crafty
ing. Partial showers also visited US on Tues
day, and the ground is thoroughly wet at this
time. The months of May and June have
been unprecedentedly dry, and the anxious
watching of occasional clouds had we'll nigh
exhausted the hopes of all. But the rains
have come, and in good timer too, for the crops
are better worked than usual, and although
che growth of cotton and corn has been re-
4arded, the prospect to-day is Aattering- The
wheat crop has been harvested, and is remark
able for its abundant yield and fine quality of
grain. The only drawback is the small area
devoted to its culture. The oat crop is below
the average, on account Of the dry weather.

GreeIev's Chances at Baltimore.

1t is now eight weeks since the Cincinnati
Convention put forth its platform of principles,
and nominated Horace Greeley for the highest
of6ce.w within the gift of the American people.
The nomination caused surprise and disap-
pointment to many persons in every section OF
the country, who were expecting totally dit-
ferent result and whose hopes centered in an
entirely opposite direction. Had the National
Democratic Convention assembled within a
few days after the result at Cincinnati was
known, there would not have been the slightest
chance of Greeley's nomination being confirmed
in that body. But tke time elapsing between
the two Conventions has given an opportunity
to overcome surprise and outlive the disap-
pointment. The fact has been steadily devel-
oping itself that Greeley was stronger among
the masses than the leaders Of the Cincinnati
movement really believed at the moment he
was nominated, and hence we find that delega-
ton after delegation has been pledged to his
support, and in all probability the Baltimore
Convention will endorse the nomination by
large majority. Then the question arises,
whether this endorsement will aggregate
strength to the ticket, or repel any considera-
BILE number from its support, first, of the
straight-laced Democrats who want no obliter-
tior of party lines, and secondly, of those Lib
eral Republicans whose belief in Greeley's
fidelity to Republican principles will be won
derfully shaken when he is endorsed by the
Democrats in national council assembled.
We think it extremely probable that the
contemplated action at Baltimore will not gain
strength in the aggregate to Mr.. Greeley, and
that the wisest course to be pursued is simply
to ratify the Cincinnati platform and decline
to make nominations. This would maintain
the Democratic organization, and at the same
time leave its members untrammeled as to
choice for President when the great bulk of
them would naturally fall in with the only op-
position to Grant, while the Liberal Republi-
cans would become strengthened in their ad-
vocacy of Mr.. Greeley. Only two weeks re-
main in which these questions can be discussed,
and the result at Baltimore will then be known
to the country. So far as our information ex-
tends, we are confident that Greeley will be
endorsed as above stated, and this is contrary,
as our readers know, to the opinion entertained
by us few weeks ago. But this expression is
based upon the actual results of the various
State Conventions, and is more reliable than
mere conjecture. The whirligig of politics is
curious study, and even the present favorable
omens for Mr.. Greeley may be turned into
darkness ere the Baltimore Convention meets,
though we think the chances for such an ex-
traordinary change are exceedingly slender.
The campaign will begin in earnest when the
result at Baltimore is made known.

Death Of a Prominent Citizen.

We have to record the untimely death of
Dir. David M. Watson, which occurred at his
residence in this County on Sunday night last,
in the 44th year of his age. Mr.. Watson was
aprominent and useful citizen, an active and
jealous member Of the Baptist Church at New
Prospect, and an intelligent, successful farmer.
He was identified with the mercantile interests
of this town, as member of the we'll known
firm of Watson & Bro. His remains were
inferred at the family burying-ground, near
the residence Of his father-in-law, Rey. Jacob
Burriss, on Monday afternoon, amid large
eoncourse of sorrowing friends and relatives.
As a token of respect to his memory the stores
and business houses in this town were closed
from p. M on Monday until Tuesday morn
