The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1876-09-07

Rev. E. r. Carswel requests US to state
that he will begin protracted meeting at
Lebanon Baptist Church on Friday ITO
morrow night, to continue as long as may
be deemed proper.
A young man of Anderson went to
sleep in one of our churches on last Sunday
night, and when awakened exclaimed !:
"Hurrah for Hampton" This shows that
our people both think and dream of Democ-
racy.
Gapt.J. P. Reed, of the Anderson Demo-
cratic Artillery left on Wednesday, in COM
pany with Messrs. R. L. Moorhead and John
s. Smith, with cannon for the Greenville
ratification meeting to-day. Listen for the
reports ofthe meeting, as they are proclaim
ed to-day by the Anderson gun.
We regret to announce the death of Mr..
Luke Hamilton, on aged citizen who resided
near Storeyille in this County, which oc-
Cured on the 5th instant from dropsy. He
was seventy-six years of age. On Wednes-
day last his remains were deposited to rest
in Varennes churchyard.
A prominent republican Of Anderson told
the colored people on last Saturday, that
the Democratic demonstration meant war
that the same men who were at the head of
the war were leading now. We suppose,
therefore, that it was not q failure this time,
and hence twill do to call big thing.
1t is more than probable that there will be
a new leader for the Anderson Republicans
after Saturday next, as we understand that
Senator Cochran proposes to decline re-
election as County Chairman. The position
is rather expensive, and the thanks of the
party for past services not over-abundant.
Who is the coming man?
Two months from to-day the great election
for President of the United States and Gov
ernor of South Carolina comes Off Its re-
suit will fix the destiny Of this Nation and
State for years to come. Work, then, dill
gently from now until it is over for the
redemption of all that is dear to us of liberty
and country.
Will not some man in this County volun-
teer to drink all the blood split in the pres
ent war which Republicans prophesy in this
State on account Of the Democratic canvass? {?
1t is simply war upon thieves and plum
derers, so the promise will not be as difficult
to be performed as if it had been made in
1860.
We are requested to announce that there
will be meeting of the Hall Township
Democratic Club at the Carswell Institute
on next Saturday afternon at o'clock p. m.
Speeches upon the politics of the day may
be expected, and full attendance of the
members of the Club, as well as of the citi-
zens of the vicinity and township is earnest
ly desired.
We regret to announce the death of Mrs.
Martha, wife of w. L. Dobbins, which oc-
Cured at the residence of her husband in
this County on Wednesday morning at 2
o'clock, after protracted and painful i'll
ness of four or FIVE months duration. Her
remains are to be inferred by the Double
Springs Grange on this morning in the Rob-
erts' Church graveyard at II o'clock.
Religious services are announced for
Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings of
this week in the Baptist Church ofthe Town.
A prayer meeting will also be held in this
church this afternoon, in addition to the
regular weekly prayer meeting of Friday.
A protracted meeting is contemplated, and
the membership of the church, together with
the citizens of the town, are earnestly in
vited to attend the meetings.
E1-Gov. q. B. Vance, of North Carolina,
was too closely engaged in his own canvass
to accept the invitation to Anderson,
although his sympathies are strongly en-
listed for the people of South Carolina, and
when the opportunity offers he will visit the
State before the election. His brilliant
campaign at home is almost unprecedented,
and we are confident glorious triumph
awaits him in November.
On last Thursday night storm of rain
and wind passed over Anderson. The saw
mill portion of Mr.. A. n. Osborne's build
ing was blown down, freight car was
blown from the track, and trees were brok-
en- off and blown up in different parts Of
town. One of these fell on one end of the
house occupied by Mrs. Keith, but, fortu-
nately, did no serious damage For few
moments the wind was very severe.
The citizens of Garvin Township organ
lied rifle club at Bishops Branch on the
31st day of August last, and elected the
following officers: Captain, ]. P. Glenn I;
First Lieutenant, John c. Watkins; Second
Lieutenant, w. J. Martin; Third Lieuten-
ant, N. T. Martin; Orderly Sergeant, James
Carson; Sergeants, e. ]. Pickle. Miles Pick
ems and W. W. Watkins; Corporals, ]. G..
Scott, Thos. White and VIM. Slatton.
The Republican County Convention meets
at this place on Saturday next, 9th inst, for
the purpose of electing delegates to the State
Convention. It has been rumored that Gov.
Chamberlain was expected to visit Anderson
on Saturday, but this is denied upon good
authority. Some of the smaller guns are
more likely to be on hand from Columbia
as, for instance, Solomon L. Hoge and l..
Cass Carpenter, who are seeking the Con-
gressional nomination.
The first bale of cotton has been received
from several of the lower and middle coun-
ties. None as yet has been carried to mar
ket from the upper counties, and we hope to
see Anderson ahead of her neighbors in pre-
pairing the staple for shipment. 1t is open
ing rapidly in some localities, and picking
will soon begin in earnest. We only regret
that the prospects are poor, so far as the
