nendS ana COOL tempers OF the wise men
who are to meet in Columbia"
u The following ia un extract of a private
letter to gentleman in this city, from
Anderson, dated June 8, 1872:
Court closed here On last Saturday.
The only matter of much Importance
that was brought before the court was
the trial of VIM Davenport aud Hnrviu
Vandiver, for the murder of r. Mr..
Meeks, in the year 1865. Tho facts ro-
latlng to this murder were singularly
brought to light. 1t appears that in
clearing up piece of bottom land. a
pair of pants were found in hollow loo.
containing spots of blood. The pants
were passed round till they finally were
recognized by lady to be pair OF
pants she had made for negro man. six
or seven years ago. by the name of
Brock. Brock, hearing of this fact. be-
came SO uneasy that he at length thought
it best to divulge all the facts relating to
the murder of Meeks. His statement is
that Davenport. Vandiver and Brsazeale,
with himself. were at Breazeale's mill,
late one evening, and were expecting
Meeks to come to or pass by the mill
that evening; and that little after cum
down Meeks was seen at we'll, not fur
from the mill; that Davenport took a
gun from the mill and shot Meeks, who
fell forward on his face, but on going
to him he was found not to be dead, and
alter little time was able to get up and
Chamber over fence near by-evidently
trying to make his escape. Breazeale
ordered the negro (Brock) to take the
gun and finish him; this the negro re.
fused to do. Breazeale then took the
gun and followed Meeks. and struck him
across the back of the neck, which
knocke ed him down. after which he soon
expired. From this testimony Daven.
port aud Vandiver were convicted OF
murder in the first degree. and are CON
demned to be hanged on the 18th OF
January. 1873. The negro got off by
being States evidence. Breuzeale has
not yet been arrested, he having been in
Texas ior several years. Daven port and
Vandiver have taken an appeal for O new
hearing.

At meeting Of the citizens Of Abbe-
vile, held on Monday last, for the pur-
pose OF electing delegates to the Colum-
bia Convention, the following resolutions
were adopted:
RssolOed, That ills the sense OF this
meeting. that delegates be appointed to
represent the people OF Abbeville in the
Columbia Convention.
Resolued, That it is the sense Of this
meeting that the Democratic Convention
soon to meet in Baltimore should not
make party nomination, but approve
the Cincinnati platform and adjourn,
leaving the Conservatives of the country
to vote for the opponents Of that plat
form.
Mcssrs. F. A. Connor, J. W. Hearst,
VIM. Hood, @. A. Waller, J. NJ. Lpti-
NOR, Samuel MCGOWAN, Armistead Burt,
were elected delegates.
Commenting on the meeting, tho Alb.
beville Press and Banner says:
"If representation in Baltimore ill.,
wolves the risk Of being in honor bound
again to hoist strict party banner, aud
fight only to be defeated. thou wo would
be willing to forego the doubtful chances
OF furthering our ends at Baltimore. Iu
other words, il the sending of delegates
necessarily leads to tho organization of
q Democratic party here for party
fight, we suppose that there will be no
difference of opinion TINT the State
should not bo represented. Upon that
point we judge that the PHOENIX and tho
Charleston Ne,os arc at one. And this
seems to be the important question
which awaits solution from the clear
heads and cool tempers of the wise men
who are to meet in Columbia"

Aggrnvnted IndIarntIon.

Persons who are predispOsod to dyspepsia, find
their suIerings from this cause greatly aggravated
by damp weather. easterly winds, and sudden
changes from mild to chilling atmosphere. In
the spring, therefore, the pangs Of Indigestion are
seriously augmented by the atmospheric variations
peculiar to the season, and Is incumbent upon all
who desire to pass through the ordeal Of its cold
miss and insalubriOus gale with easy stomachs and
untormented by the indescribable torments which
accompany dyspepsia, to tone and strengthen the
digestive organs with healthful and effective veg
etable inylgorant and no one at all familiar with
the medical record Of the age can question for one
moment that Hostetters Stomach Bltters Is the Tonic
best adapted to this purpose.
The credentials of the Great Restorative are nm
equaled In number and character by those Of any
other advertised medicine In the wOd II ever there
was preparation TO rank as a National Remedy
this wonderful specific has fair claim TO the title
For period OF twenty years it has literally been
the Champion Tonic and Alternative on this side of
the Atlantic. In popularity 1t has never been ap-
preached by any OF Its wOuld-be competitors and
It's annual sales are far In advance Of those Of
any other medicine Of its class that comparisons
would be ridiculous. One OF two conclusions ia in
evltable. Either the American people are deficient
In common sense and incapable Of rational dlscrim-
ination or Hostetters Bters is the best preventive
remedy for indigestion, fever and ague, bilious re-
mittent fever, constipation, rheumatism, neryious
complaints, and all maadies Of an epidemic or en-
demc type. The reader will Judge for himself which
OF the two conclusions is most conclusions is most

Miss s. in the faithful discharge Of her duties,
and handed the watch to her. The lady arose, and
in a few spontaneous and fitting words, thanked
