For the anderson Mteligeacer.

Mr. EDITOR: 1t is conceded by all that there
is a strong feeling among large portion of our
people disappearing of County nominations,
and it is in view of that fact, and because of
the near approach of the day of election, that
I desire short space in your valuable paper to
express my views upon the subject. The result
of the elections in this County two years ago,
which resulted in the defeat of nearly every
candidate of the Reform party, would seem to
indicate the uselessness of nominations, but
when we consider the political standing of
some of the Independents then professedy
Democrats, now avowedly Radicals of the ex-
trcmcst type, it would not be unreasonable to
hope for different result in the approaching
election. In 1870 our fellow-ctizens in the
country were taught to believe that there was
a clique in the village, organized for the pur-
pose of monopolzing all the Offices, either in
their own behalf, or in that of particular
friends The Independents preached that over
and over again-not from selfish motives, oh,
no ! 1t was to defeat the clique and promote
the interests of the country. They also claimed
to be as good Democrats as the regular nomi-
nees The people now know whether or not
they were sincere in their professions, and it is
my belief that they could not be so easily I'M
posed upon another time.
Again. Considering the large number of
candidates now before the people, with an un-
known number yet coming, the most careless
observer knows beyond doubt that the Radi-
Gals will fill every Office in the County unless
some arrangement be made to consolidate the
Democratic VOTE How is that to be done? 1t
is almost impossible for the candidates to de-
eide who shall withdraw and who shall con-
tinue the canvass Each has his particular
friends, and such a course would lead to lnevl-
table defeat. There is no other way under
Heaven whereby we can elect Democrats to
Office in this County than by convention OF
the whole people, to nominate and present to
the voters of Anderson such men as are known
to be acceptable to the masses. Any other
course will result in ignominious defeat, be-
cause no other course will produce anything
like unity among the whites, and without that
it is useless to make any contest whatever.
When we recollcct that we have majority OF
at least thousand and are then defeated, it is
sad commentary upon the wisdom which guides
our action-it is lamentable, it is humiliating.
We should never stultify ourselves by claiming
an intelligence superior to that of our colored
fellow-citizens They are greatly in the mi,
nority, yet their excellent organization and
their unity in all political matters enables them
to control Anderson County. 1 have written
this in the hope that it may arouse the earnest
thought of our people, and that some action
may be inaugurated whereby unity may be Sc
cured CIIIAEN.

The Saluda Baptist Association.

AS previously announced through our col
umns, this body convened at the Baptist Church
in this place on Thursday morning last The
Introductory sermon was preached by Rev. j.
R. Earle, when the roll of churches was called
and an organization effected. Rev. w. E.
Walters was elected Moderator; Rev. B. F.
Mauldin, Clerk; G. E. Horton, Assistant Clerk
and Treasurer All the churches composing
the Association were duly represented. Busi-
ness sessions were held in the morning and
afternoon, and the utmost harmony and kind
feeling prevailed. The business was concluded
at an early hour on Saturday afternoon, when
many of the delegates returned to their homes
There was preaching at the stand-which had
been erected near the brennan spring-on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and also preach
ing in the Baptist Church every night. Among
the ministers from distance, we noted the
presence of Rev. Tilman r. Games, Agent of
the Palmetto Orphan Home; Rev. A. w. La
mar, Agent of the State Board of Missions,
and Rev. James K. Mendenhall, Agent of the
Furman University. Each of these gentlemen
presented the claims of their respective inter-
ests, and were successful in obtaining pecunia-
ry aid in behalf of the several enterprises
named They likewise preached to large au-
diences, and on Sunday morning Mr.. Menden-
hall delivered the Missionary Sermon at the
stand, after which collection was taken up
for the various benevolent objects in which the
Association is interested.
Good order was maintained, and the throng
of visitors was quite happy accession to our
town. The hospitality of our citizens seemed
gratifying to delegates and friends, and most
certainly the occasion will be pleasantly re-
membered in our midst
The next meeting of the Association will be
held with Union Church, eighteen miles south
of this place, beginning on Thursday before
the second Sunday in August, 1873.

The Anderson Meeting.

So far as any expression Of opinion has
reached us from other quarters, the call for
State Convention on the 2Sth inst. seems to be
regarded as premature. 1t is evident that the
movement cannot practically go into effect,
since the time is too short for the various coun-
ties to appoint delegates, after thoroughly di-
gesting the proposed scheme; and in the pc
culiar condition of State politics, there is every
incentive to deliberate and prudent counsels
among the people. We cannot too calmly and
discreetly weigh the effect of every movement
at this juncture. The prospect of an irrecon-
cilable split in the Radical party is plainly ap-
parent, and it behooves the Democratic ele-
ment to be united and ready to form coalition
with any portion of the Radical party promis
ing decent, respectable and honest govern
ment in South Carolina 1t was in this spirit,
we are informed, that the meeting at this place
on saleday contemplated action, and to that
extent we reiterate the approval of this jour
nal. But we coincide with the expression that
the call is premature, and might be damaging
to the object in view, provided the Radical
State Convention could be worked upon to heal
any difference in that party and concentrate
their strength as heretofore. We think there
is time enough, after the full development of
plans and purposes by the opponents of thiev-
ing and plumber who are within the ranks of
the Radical party, to inaugurate movement
that will effectively unite the white people and
aid in the overthrow of corrupt officials

Letter from Hon. John Wilson Approving the
Singer Sewing Machine.
ANDERSON G. H., S. c., August IA, 1872.

ANDERSON C. H, S. c., August IA, 1872.
Mr.. JOHN FL. CLARKE, agent Singer Sea0-
ing Machine:
SIR-Your letter Of over month ago, ma
king enquiry in regard to the performance of
the Sewing Machine you left with my family
some month or six weeks before, as well as for
my opinion in reference to the construction
and arrangement Of its machinery, came duly
to hand. You must, however, pardon me for
purposely delaying to answer your enquiries
until sufficient time had been given me forfully
testing the merits of your Machine.
Now, however, after its having been kept in
almost constant operation by the members of
my own family and others, for at least three
months, being ample time to test its operations,
I am now happy to inform you that it has per-
formed admirably, and to my entire satisfac-
ton.
My opinion in regard to the construction and
arrangement of its machinery, was, perhaps,
as well and fully intimated when I selected
your machine in preference to any one OF the
other machines now in the market for sale, as
I could possibly express it by words. 1t may
be well, however, for me to state that in select
ing machine, was not governed alone by
its price, but the simplicity and durability of
the machine In word, 1 wanted a machine
that could be operated with ease, perform its
work accurately, durable and easily kept in
order, and one that persons but little skilled in
the management of machinery could operate
successfully.
Suffice it to say, then, land without dispar-
agement to others) that when purchased your
machine, all of those desirable object were fully
attained. Very respectfully,
| JOHN WILSON.

State Committee, declines to make speeches

in favor of Greeley, who "will bring peace,

To the Afflicted.
HoNEA PArH. S. c.. Aug.

HoNEA PATH, S. c., Aug. 6, 1872.
I have been an invalid ever since the
second year of our late civil war. My whole
system dilapidated and nervous structure
shattered, perhaps brought on by a long, labo-
rious practice Of my profession. In 1862 had
camp fever and dysentery, followed by palsy
and rheumatism. This was cured in one year,
but left me in shattered state. I have at
tended several fashionable watering places,
tried medicine, but with little benefit. Recent
ly visited Williamson Springs, and can with
joy exclaim Eureka" and say with honesty
and candor, the water has relieved me and i'm
proved my health more than anything fate or
fortune has thrown in my pathway for nine
years.
The analysis of the water is before you, but
the effects of it on the system is what you want
to know, and ought to know. am prepared
to detail them The carbonate of iron builds
up and gives tone to the whole physical organ
ization, and by increasing the red globules of
blood gives color; also, gives tone to the stom-
ach and bowels. The suphate of magnesia
breaks up constipation, and acts just right on
the bowels. Victims to diarrhea, don't be
afraid of it, it will benefit you.) The iodine
and sulphur act as alternatives, and will reach
almost any case of impure blood. Some duali-
ty about the water acts as asedative, and brings
on most delightful sleep. 1t also produces
buoyancy of spirit When 1 arrived at Will
liamston 1 was dull and detected, walked like
an old man, and wanted to shun company
Very soon got to be a pretty jolly fellow and
could walk as straight as any man. I have
been home, and my family and friends compli-
mented me so highly on my improved appear
ance, that I feel taller, younger and bigger
than have since the war. I am nov on my
way back, in fine spirits. Dear afflicted friends,
1 know how you feel, know how to sympathize
with you, and know how to advise you. Come
away from your dreary, solitary and melancholy
scenes Of suffering and afliction. Come to
Williamson Springs and get bran new. You
will meet cordial greeting, and get as COM
Portable quarters, among as nice and as clever
people as Carolina affords.
Yours in sympathy,

The GREAT HAIR PRODUCER.-
Hair oils, Pomatums and Ponadcs
have had their day. They belong to
the musty past. Nobody that I'M
stands the chemistry of the hair and
the philosophy of its growth thinks
of using them. Instead of clogging
the pores of the scalp with thick I'M
guents, and thus obstructing the in
sensible perspiration which is essen
tial to the health of the fibers, we
now tone the surface ofthe head with
an invigorating application which
penetratcs to the roots of the hair
and stimulates them in the same way
that the fertilizing agents spread
over the meadows stimulate the
grass roots and cause the blades to
spriug up in myriads, coating the
earth with vendure. The invigorant
best adapted to this purpose is LIZ
oN's kATHAIRoN. Itmay well be cal
led the fertilizer oftde head To the
barren scalp it communicates vege-
tatiye power. 1.-THE hair is drop
ping out or becoming dry and with
cred, it arrests the process of dilapi-
dation or blight. The hair thickens
and becomes a glossy and flexible
under its genial operation, and as a
dressing it is unapproached by any
preparation that has yet been laid on
the toilet of Fashion.
