will help to break down monopolies and
expose corruption Of all kinds.
l have been Republican ever since
there was Republican party; l have

vociferous for Grant in 1872; but can

for me. have done with the party
which is responsible for them.
The Republican psrty has performed
. great work IN the abolition Of slav-
cry, but its mission is fulfilled Its
work is done. Now our motto should
be principles rather than : party. We
must associate ourselves in one common

Notice.

We want our friends from all parts OF the
State to send US letters for publication, Civ
ing the local news, their political views, &c.
1t makes no difference whether you agree
with us or not; we will give all respectful
hearing.
Never mind the spelling and the grammar,
provided you have good sound sense and
honest purpose. Any type-setter can fur
nish the first two, but only the Lord is able
to provide the latter; and he does not scat
ter them around by any means plentiful.
Write whenever you have a point to make

Give US man We can conscientiously
support and this town and county will
roll up q handsomer majority against
the party in power than they did last
Fall. The man who, above all others,
is able to carry this district, is Hon. Ara
Barton Of Mortified. Rice county
would roll up handsome majority for
him. We will not support bad man
on the Autobiography ticket any soon
er than We would on the Monopoly; and
the leaders of all parties must remember
that poor nominees will be scratched
as bad as they were last Fall, when but
few straight tickets found their way
into the ballot-box. The people have
taken this matter in hand and are de-
termined that none but good, honest,
temperate and faithful men shall repre-
sent them in places Of trust. The men
who have ''hay-seed in their hair are
learning to think and act for them
selves, Although they are forbidden
freedom Of speech in the Grange
room, yet they exercise the freedom of
thought out of it. Political questions,
and political candidates must be ignored
IN the Grange, but out of it they can
and do receive proper attention.
Give us free thought, free speech,
and free independent press
after the model of the ANTI. MoxopoL1sT,
and no one need fear the result. Thanks
to the Grange the people are becoming
more enlightened on all matters per-
tanning to their interests. There are
five newspapers taken now where there
was not one q year and half ago.
Nearly every Granger in this section of
country takes from two to five weeklies,
and those Of the Independent, reform
stamp, if you please. Not a solitary
Press is taken at this Office.
Ha. vest is over in the woods. The
dry, hot weather ripened grain too fast.
Wheat sown in May was in the shock in
July, The berry is not quite so large
as in former years yet it cannot be said
to be shrunken. Oats will be very light
not over Is or 20 bushels per acre.
Wheat will not exceed Is bushels. Corn
is not filling very good and potatoes
will be potatoes again this year and
''small potatoes at that.
Yours for the right,
TIC.

DEAR SIR: On the 18th inst. we had
a grand good meeting, here. We united
the Liberal Republicans. Democrats and
Anti-Monopolists in one caucus; in fact
everything in the town except the thiev-
ing Republicans who still cling to the
ark of corruption. We elected town
committee to consist Of one man from
each party, viz: Ira D. Beeman, Chris
tan Remuna and P. M'Dermott. Our
caucus was very we'll attended although
the notice was short The Republicans
failed to get enough together for quo
rum. There were ouly two at the eau
sus, and only about half the towns in
the county were represented in the
county convention. So you may Judge
of the show they have in the coming
campaign. Respectfully yours,

WEARING SrEcrAcLEs.-We have consulted
a number of people with reference to glasses,
and the common verdict is SIS follows: When
the eyes begin to fail use them as little as pos
sible at night, and avoid reading fine print or
doing any work by lamp light, which tries
them. But when you instinctlvcly, ADJUST your
book so as to get better light, when the eyes
are easily fatigued, and there is a sense of ef-
fort to make out the letters in print or to take
stitches in sewing, spectacles are needed,
They are the last thing to be bought for cheap
ness. Brazilian glasses are best, because OF
natures make, and most difficult to be scratched,
but you should wear manufactured glasses flrst
until the eye becomes accustomed to their use
Always note the number Of your glasses and the
date of first using them-if lost, you can tell
what number you want. Glasses should pc
washed in cold water every day, wiped dry with
a linen fabric, and then with. buckskin, never
with paper, as it scratches them.

THE BEST BALE OF CoTToN IN THE WORLD
The prize for the best bale of cotton ATTN at the
Greenwood and Call, of New Orleans, on
bale raised in Mississippi. We are pleased to
give the following details of its history from
the Mississippi Central:
In 1871, Henry Broom, a farmer living three
m;les oast of CoiTccvi]le. in Yalobusha county,
Mississippi raised and sold bale Of cotton at
L. R. Williamson's to Bryant & Heron, of
Cofieevile for 1885 cents per pound ,,,l;ai This
firm, attracted by its very superior quality,
marked the bale Beauty and shipped it to
Stewart Brothers & Co., New Orleans, These
merchants put it on exhibition on. at the Stat s9te
Fair of Louisiana and won the first prize sHop sIop
staplc. It was there sold to Mr.. Greenwood and
MIR. Cali for Is cents pound. These enter
prisng gentlemen, appreciatng the value "a and d
extraordinary quality Of their purchase, haa II II
duck bagging, and sent it to the exhibition at
Vienna where it received the first prize.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1874-01-08

generous proportion. The prime cause of this
is not so much the immediate promise of ia
vorable conditions under which to colonize, as
the demand for reliable labor, and the move
ment is therefore strongest in those States
where employers of ali sorts have lost conf
dence in the old labor classes. Thus in South
Carolina recently, there was a marked influx
of English, German, Swiss, Irish and French
families, for that State, of all Others is running
to waste on account of the lack Of willing and
competent laborers The freedmen have de-
serted honest industry for politics, and differ
ent class must take their places until the false
notions which carpet-baggers have inculcated
are dissipated, and they learn that work is the
universal condition of honest living. Europe
ans may, in many instances, also be on the
lookout for a speedy change for the better, and
shrewdly anticipate its coming.
