The principal feature in the contest among the
Democrats for the Nsyoralty nomination has
been the effort which certain members of the
party have made to choke on several Of those
whose names were mentioned in connection with
the office. This movement was begun several
days ago, and some pretty sharp language, it is
understood has already grown out Of it THUS
far but one man has given way-Jsmes W. Ware,
who, we are informed, has withdrawn entirely
from the canvass. The Avowed object in view
was the comforting Of an unanimous nomination
upon WIN. G. Whitley, Esq, who, 1t has been
intimated, would consent to serve only on such
conditions. 1t WAS Authoritatively announced,
yesterday, however, that Mr.. whiteley would &C,
cept the nomination il rendered him, and we
take it that the struggle sill now be turned to
mastering Of forces about Mr.. Whiteley ~
against the other candidates, some Of whom re-
fuse to be put down and are vigorously working
for the nomination.

Lodge No. "a, A.. F.. NJ, held May Goth,
1875, the following resolutions were adopted
WHEREAS, it has pleased Almighty God to
remove from our midst our worthy brother,
w. B. ELROD, who departed this life at his
residence near Golden Springs, in Anderson
County, on the l1th day of May last, and who
was a worthy member of this Lodge, and
consistent member of the M. E. Church; and
whereas, we have reasons to believe that he
has been raised to the Temple not made by
hands, eternal in the heavens. Therefore, be it
l. Resolued, That in the death Of Bro. W. B.

Der and citizen.
2 That we duly sympathize with the widow

We are. not on familiar terms with the Co.
Iumbia Phenir-in fact, we quit taking 1T out
of the post Office last fall, for the reason that
there was no copy mailed to our address, or
words to that effect came to us through the

Just little annoyed by the position OF thas'
thrifty and enterprising newspaper, and we
want some of our contemporaries to explain
the matter. We learn that certain articles
from certain prominent and influential Repub-
licsns always make their first appearance in
the Pksgnsr. We refer to such as the recent
letters of Ex-Gov. Scott, Irrepressible Leslie,
ct id onsee genus. We know that Gov. Cham
berlain possesses an organ, bought and paid
for, we presume; and now we want to know if
the Picnic is the recognized organ of the
defunct ex-oAicials, who are striving to regain
power, position and plunder. We hope this
will not be considered impertinent, supercli-
Gus or anything Of that sort, nor that any one
will conclude that they cannot perceive the
good we hope TO accomplish by asking such
questions.

The storm of Wednesday afternoon, 10th
inst, was quite severe in Pickens County, de-
molishing fencing, prostrating trees and dam
aging the growing crops. The accompanying
hail demolished glass windows exposed, and
did serious injury to the wheat, corn and COT
ton crops.
An intelligent Ohiojury recently returned
a verdict in this style: eve, the jury in this
case, give our verdict of not guilty, but would
advise the parents of the culprit to keep him
at home hereafter, in order that he may not be
guilty of the same offense again."

Annual School Meetings.

The citizens of Anderson County are again
reminded that the annual meetings in the
school districts will take place on Saturday
next, 26th inst, and every taxpayer should be
present to exercise an influence upon their
action, especially in levying local tax. The
various districts can determine whether or not
there is a necessity for this tax, and unless the
funds are necessary to support the common
schools or to build school-houses, the levy
should be resisted, for we have not yet reached
q haven of reformation and low taxation in the
State government, and cannot afford to squan-
der money for useless purposes. Wherever
the local tax is needed, however, we trust it
will be levied, but the taxpayers ought to
exercise potent influence in fixing the rate of
taxation. Absence from the meeting might
bring regret hereafter and we have observed
that q slim attendance of voters generally re-
suits in tax, without regard to its necessity,
for the few imagine that the law requires some
thing at their hands.

A Terrible Gale.

The local column gives an account of the
terrific storm which prevailed in this region on
Wednesday afternoon of last week. We will
not consume space by additional description
of its effects, which were much less serious
than any one anticipated while the storm was
raging. The population of Anderson has new
er witnessed anything so threatening in ap-
pearance, however, and when the angry, pur-
plish cloud came with such frightful velocity,
scarcely any were prepared for the emergency.
The wind blew with such fearful rapidity that
every one instinctively dreaded its presence,
believing that the terrible roar and suddenness
of the storm surely indicated the awful cyclone,
with its attendant destruction of life and prop
erty. The graphic pictures of similar vista
tions elsewhere filled the minds of all with ap-
prehensions for the safety Of themselves and
their friends, and for time there was intense
excitement throughout the town. The clouds
of dust and sand which arose around the pub
lie square especially only added to the frightful
appearanee Of the bewildering scene, ana none
could conjecture what was transpiring twenty
yards of, except now and then by glimpse
through the whirling blast. We cannot accu-
rately describe the scene for this reason, as the
view was obstructed and vision limited by the
clouds of dust. It was more than relief to lind
that the storm was neither cyclone or tornado
since the rotary motion Of these dread visitors
was lacking, and the wind came for the most
part with steady, straight velocity.
The ground was exceedingly dry, and not
much rain accompanied the storm, which will
account for the preservation of much timber,
which otherwise must have been destroyed.

gnsericarl Bible Society.

In travelling down the railroad on Saturday
morning, we noticed that Conductor Isaac's train
had been supplied with bronzed iron racks for
the first class passenger coach, each containing
a neat copy of the Holy Scriptures, inscribed
with gilt letters, Presented by the American
Bible Society to the Greenville and Columbia
Railroad" and the iron rack setting forth, in
plain letters, "Search the Scriptures" These
Bibles are intended for the perusal of passen-
gers. and are not to be taken away. All of the
passenger trains are thus supplied, but we be-
ieve the arrangement is confined to the first
class coaches, whilst the occupants of the Sec
oud-class cars as general rule need most to be
reminded of their duty to search the Scriptures.
The present arrangement was made through
the instrumentality of Rev. E. A. Bolles, and
has been carried into effect on the principal
railroads in South Carolina.

Furman University.

The commencement exercises of Furman
University took place in Greenvlle on Wednes-
day, 10th inst. There were seven full gradu-
ates this year, including Mr.. James K. FAINT,
of Anderson, who is beneficiary of the Saluda
Baptist Association, and a young man OF ex-
ceeding promise. The address before the
Alumni Association was delivered by Mr.. j.
E. Tindal, of Clarendon County. The address
before the literary societies was delivered by
Prof. James IT. Carlisle, of Wofford College,
OH Tuesday night.
We learn that the occasion was delightful
and entertaining, as may we'll be imagined
from the programme But we are constrained
to enter protest against the quiet, reserved
manner of conducting these exercises. Fur
man University does not belong exclusively to
Greenville and its citizens, nor are they enti-
tied to monopoly of its public demonstra-
tions, as was nearly the case in the recent
exercises. The institution belongs primarily
to the largest and most influential denomina-
ton of Christians in the State, who are enti-
tied to known the time at which their favorite
college will hold its annual commencements.
Not word appeared in the newspapers, in
Guiding the Greenville journals, to indicate the
commencement season until the very day on
which the exercises took place. 1t is singu-
lar omission on the part of some one, and
should be corrected hereafter. But the inter-
est which attaches to Furman University
ought not to be confined to the Baptist denom-
ination, for its success as an educational insti-
tuition is matter of pride and interest to
every citizen of South Carolina, who is labor
ing for the general welfare. We need the
thorough education of our young men, and
there is no earthly reason to prevent their
training at home. The position occupied by
Furman University, sustained as it is by the
strongest denominaticnal influence within our
borders, gives it a decided advantage over other
institutions in the race for prominence and
general patronage. The destruction of educa-
tional facilities under State guidance and con-
troll offers the opportunity for bringing for
ward, developing and enlarging the sphere of
usefulness heretofore occupied by denomina-
tional colleges. We trusted that this opportu-
nifty was recognized at Greenville, and that
efforts now making to endow Furman Univer-
sity would secure that enlargement and devel-
opment to which we allude. But we confess
that the management of the recent commence
ment, with the light of that institution securely
hid under bushel, does not inspire confidence
in the thought, nor advance the prospects of
its attaining extraordinary prominence in the
minds of the people.

Drainage of Rocky River Lands.
ANDERSON, S. c.. June 18th, 1875

ANDERSON, S. c., June 18th, 1875.
A meeting of the landowners on Rocky
River was held to-day in the Court House for
the purpose of considering the question of
draining the same. The meeting was large, a
majority of the landowners being present,
together with representation from the Town
Council.
The meeting was called to order by Mr..
James A. Keown, who moved that Col. R. S.
Hill take the chair, which was unanimously
agreed to. S. NJ. Pegg was invited to act as
Secretary.
The chairman, Col. Hill, stated that he sup
posed the object of the meeting was for the
purpose of taking into consideration the impor-
tance of draining the lands of Rocky River
from Majors Shoal upward as far as necessary
to guard the people against the dangerous re-
suits of malaria, which has visited so many Sec
tions of our country since the lands on our
rivers and creeks have been allowed to fill up,
thereby causing the dangerous result of sick
ness, besides depreciating the value of these
lands to an extent that they have in many in
stances been rendered worthless.
On motion of Mr.. Joseph B. Moore, list
was made of the Landowners interested, to-
gether with the number of acres owned by
each, when it was found that there was near
one thousand acres owned by the parties inter-
ested. This, however, was only a rough esti-
mate-the exact amount many think upon
survey will reach fifteen hundred.
Able and interesting remarks were made by
Messrs. James B. Moore, R. S. Bailey, T. w.
Harrison, James A. Keown, Maj. w. W.
Humphreys and Capt. w. D. Evins. The two
latter spoke at some length upon the law
touching the case, and also upon the impor-
tance of draining lands both for healthful and
pccunary purposes.
On motion of Capt. Evins a committee OF
five was appointed by the chair, who were
charged with the duty of ascertaining the
number of acres and the sanitary condition of
the stream from Majors Shoal upward as far
as necessary, say to Drayton Stringer's on the
Little Beaverdam also, to examine the Big
Beaverdam, and to report plan to an ad-
journed meeting, which was fixed for Saturday,
26th inst All the landowners and all inter-
ested in good health are requested to be present
at the next meeting.
The committee appointed by the chair is
composed of the following gentlemen: Capt.
W. d. Evins, James A. Keown, S. Bleckley,
James B. Moore and R. S. Bailey.
On motion, the editors of the InteNigencer
and C0nservator were asked to give place i'll
their papers for the publication of these pro-
ceedings.
The meeting then adjourned to meet again
on the 26th inst.

Arrested and DISCHARGED.

Adam Crews, the'son of Joe Crews, was ar
rested in Columbia on Saturday last,
charged with the murder of DR.. E. G. Shell,
of Laurens County, He was committed
to jail, and remained there until Monday morn
ing, when he was brought before Judge Mackey
under writ of habeas corpus, and released up
on his own recognizance in the sum OF s3o0
to appear at the September term of the Lau-
rens Court. It appears that the warrant was
considered defective by Judge Mackey, since
the attestation was not made in due form, and
the body of the affidavit charged homicide,
when the endorsement on it was murder. The
release of the prisoner upon these legal tech
nicaities should have been unconditional, in
order that proper warrant might at once is
sue; but it is very plain that this mockery of
Justice was intended to assist the prisoner, who
will not be forthcoming at the time designated,
unless the evidence against him has been sup
pressed by the potent magic of his illustrious
SIRE Judge Mackey may inveigh against the
newspaper press for exposing criminals and be-
rating scoundrels, but he cannot reconcile the
position he has assumed with common sense
and due regard for the laws of the country.
If there is no legal ground upon which the af-
fdavit can rest, as alleged by his Honor, where
fore was the prisoner made to answer solemn
charge based upon illegal grounds? Thetimes
are out of joint when the prison doors are
swung open so easily.
