have been going around through some por
tions OF this County with new scheme fol
| invading the rights of our citizens. They
claim that no man can have more than fi fty
stalks OF tobacco, and have In some in.
stances pulled up the overplus owned by
some of our farmers. We wcald suggest
that the proper remedy for this mode oi
procedure IS to take warrants for these fel.

Will have few Of them arrested, they will
learn that the rights Of peaceable citizens
cannot be SO wantonly invaded without che
trespasser receiving punishment for his dep
relations.
We regret TO announce the death of Mr..
Leroy Barr, which occurred at his residence
near Easley Station, in Pickens County, on
last Sunday the 18th inst, after short i'll.
ness from paralysis. Mr.. Barr was highly
respected by oil who knew him, and lived
to ripe old age, being in the 74tn year OF
his age at the time he died. He was for O
number of years citizen of this County,
and was one Of the first residents os Ander-
son, and now has a son, MFR. w. +. Barr, in
business here. A number of years ago,
however, he removed to Pickens County,
and settled at the residence occupied by him
at the time of his death. On Monday after.
noon his remains were inferred in St. Paul's
churhyard in this County.
The Anderson Democratic Club held
meeting on last Wednesday afternoon, for
the purpose of considering what action
should be taken in regard to the late town
election, and unanimously decided to protest
and contest the election for Intendant, OH
the grounds heretofore stated. A commit
tee of two from each ward, consisting of
Messrs. T. K. McCully, s. NJ. Orr, G. F.
Tolly, ]. A. Daniels, A. b. Towers, d. S.
Il -
Fall, were appointed to look up the. .fraudu-
lent voters and secure the necessary proof in
each case. Nfessrs. Murray & Murray, John
B. Moore and ]. n. Brown were retained rs
counsel for the club, and O resolution was
passed directing the prosecution Of all illegal
voters, without regard to person. AT the
conclusion Of the business, president A. J.
Watt resigned the presidency of the Ander-
son Club, because lie had removed from the
town, and vote of thanks for his efficient
and able service in the past was rendered
him. The meeting then adjourned, subject
to the call of the acting president. It was
evident that tho members Of the Club do
not intend to submit to the town elections
being controlled by perured votes any
longer. The day of reckoning is at hand
for illegal voters in this town. The Demo
cratic Club will not be cheated out of its
fairly won victory.
The cGse cf the contested town election
was taken up by the old Council or last
Monday i'll the Court House, and the point
OF jurisdiction was put in question by the
respondent, Capt. John McGrath, who was
ebly represented by Messrs. A. T. sBroyles
and J. W. Harrison, who made carefully
prepared and close arguments attempting
tn snow that the nrerent Council canine.
consider q protest or contest for want Of
Jurisdiction. They were replied to by
Messrs. J. N. Brown and ]. s. Murray, two
Of che attorneys of the Democratic Club or
contestants, who assumed the position, and
we think, fully maintained themselves, that
the law requires the outgoing Council to
count and declare the election only upon
the legal votes cast The argument occupied
near four hours, and much interest was
manifested in it by the spectators At the
conclusion Ofthe argument the Council re-
served its decision until 10 o'clock this,
(Thursday) morning. If the Council de-
eide, as is generally believed it will, that
they have jurisdiction, the technical difficult
ties having been removed, the merits OF the
contest will be reached, and the proof of
both sides adduced upon the stand 1t viii,
no doubt, be exceedingly interesting, as it is
very important matter, and has already en-
listed the solicitude of our people, who wish
to See check placed upon the unbridled
perjury which continually manifcsts itself
in our town elections,
