ex-Secretary of the Navy, took place

usual profuse floral offerings were
omitted.

Gold Weakens.

Following the passage of the Bland
bill, in the Senate on Monday, gold
dropped TO 81 per cent. premium.
The bill, as amended by the Senate,
will probably pass the House to-day
or tomorrow, unless its friends disa-
gree, in which case it will take
month.

Col. Bob Ingsrsoll Catches 1t.

Col. Bob Ingersoll delivered lee
ture on "Hell'' in New York. The
large audience present seemed to enjoy
it, but the New York papers severely
condemn it. OF the lecture the New
York Graphic says: "Tho lecture was
full of coarseness. 1t lacked scholar
ship. 1t was uncharitable. Its tone
may be said, in one word, to have been
entirely unworthy of any leader of
men, and to be unworthy the present
day. 1t was full of hate. 1ngersoll
has inherited the narrow and intoler
ant spirit of the eighteenth century
infidels-a spirit which has plagued
them and their memoties and works.
What they did not like they denounced
as sham, aud what they found in the
way of progress they declared had
never any reason for its existence, but
the cowardice of peoples and the CHI
canery of priests. This is just what
Colonel Ingersoll said last night about
"Hell."

Don't Forget It.

Don't forget that in the face Of all
that was said by the mono-metalists,
and the ruin prophesied by not only
the gold bugs, but the pulpits and re-
ligious journals of the east, the pas
sage of the silver bill by the Senate
did not affect the price of gold the
thousandth part of cent.

Hon James q. Mead, Col. Jocelyn and
others:
GENTLEMEN received your very
complimentary letter requesting a
more popular announcement of my
theories on national finance. 1t is a
sacrifice of both time and disposition
But obedient to your desires, as to
what seems to me the pressing neces-
stiles of our common country and peo-
pie, propose to promulgate them at
once, in some west ern points at least,
at which they may have been solicit
ed, trusting they may be found as ac-
ceptable abroad as they have been at
home, and may lead to a prompt re-
version of our financial confusion and
an early restoration OF confidence,
without which progression, impend-
ing financial ruin is the only certain
future. Your friend and obedient SER
want, w. G. WooDMAN.

W. Q. Wsodman Invited to Give his Views Of
National Financial Policy. in
Other Cities.

The following letter and answer ex-
plain themselves. Impressed with
the wisdom of the scheme offered by
Mr.. Woodman in his late address, and
believing that it only needs laying be-
fore the people Understandings to in
sure its adoption, several gentlemen
have united in letter asking Mr..
Woodman to go before the country
with it. To this proposition Mr.. w.
acccdes, as will be seen:
I'm. c. Woodmaa, Esq. DEAR
SIR-lt is manifest to the most casual
observer that the class in whose inter-
est all recent measures of national fl
nance haze been shaped, are nsing, at
this moment, all means in their power
to control pending legislation in Con-
gress.
1t is therefore imperatively necessa-
ry, as matter of self-defense, that
every influence looking to the welfare
of the people at large. should bo
brought to bear at this critical time to
counteract the baneful influence of
Wall street upon the financial meas
ures Of the national legislature.
We believe your views upon this
vexed question, as the result of much
experience, embrace many ideas of i'm
portance in the present crisi: aud that
the public interest would be subserye d
by giving them more extended utter
ance, We therefore respectfully sug-
gest the propriety, if your engage
ments permit, of delivering your lec-
ture on finance at prominent points
throughout the country to the end
that public attention may be more
thoroughly aroused to the situation
and the popular will emphasized in
such manner as shalt serve to sustain
and give direction TO the efforts of all
friends of financial reform in the ma
tional Congress.
We have the honor to be very re-
specially, ETC.,

THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

The rules for governing the Primary Elec-
ton in this County are published on the
fourth page of this paper, and persons who
have not already familiarized themselves
with them would do well to read them
over. Where the managers of these elec.
tions have not been appointed, the Execu-
tive Committee of each club should at once
appoint them and arrange for the election.
The Executive Committee of each club must
also be in session at the place of the election
to receive and act upon applications for
membership on that day. We hope every
Democrat in the County will 90 out and
vote on that day, so that the result of the
election, whatever it may be, will represent
the wishes of the largest number of all the
Democrats in the County. The election
comes off on Friday the 18th day of October,
at the usual place of meeting of each club,
unless otherwise ordered. The polls open
at s o'clock a. m, and continue open until
o'clock p. m, giving eight hours for the
balloting. After the election is over the
managers must proceed Immediately to
count out the votes, keeping the poll list
and the ballots together with the result,
and return the same to the County Execu-
tive Committee, at Anderson Court House,
by II o'clock O. NJ, on the following day.
Saturday the 10Th inst. We have made
these comments in order to attract the at
tention of all our readers to the mode OF
conducting the coming Primary Election,
and we hope there will be no misunder-
standing about it on the part OF any person.

TOWNVILLE.

Rev. Prof. Riley, the pastor, will preach
in the Presbyterian Church here next Sum
day.....The people are ve-y busy gathering
cotton, and owing to tho unusual rapidity
of its maturing, some have resorted to the
old time means of "piciings," giving as
compensation big dinners and frolics at
night. Prof. Werner will reopen his
school in the Academy here about the, first
of November proXimo, and it is probable
that some other schools i'll the township
will begin at that time......Mr. D. Sloan
White has been quite sick for some time,
his complaint being so aggravated at times
as to require the presence Of two or three
physicians. We are glad to report, how
ever, that his condition is somewhat i'm
proved. ......At recent business conference
of the Baptist Church at this place, the
Rev. Z. L. Sisk was unanimously reelected
to serve as pastor for the incoming year.
...... The Baptist Sunday School here, Of
which Mr.. T. P. Earle is the worthy Super
intendent, give celebration on last Sum
day afternoon. The Church was well filled,
and the entire exercises were highly ell
joyed by all present. Rev. Mr.. Hudson,
pastor Salem Church. AMI Nessrs. l.. 7.

abounded in practical truths and words of

ioyable feature of the OCCASION, was con-
Quoted by Prof. w. Ii. Evans. The school
will continue unintcrruptedly through the

trary being erroneous.

A BENEVOLENT ENTERTAINMENT.

The Childrens Missionary Society of
Anderson, of which Miss Pearl Cochran is
President, will have an entertainment in
Masonic Hall on next Friday night for the
benefit of the yellow fever sufferers. They
will have an elegant hot otsupper-with cakes,
ice cream and other dclicacies in addition.
The price of admission will be ten cents, or
a ticket for supper and admission also for
fifty cents. The evening will be wound up
with Mother Goose Party" This enter
tainment should be largely attended and
literally patronized for two reasons: First
of all, because it is gotten up by little girls,
who should be encouraged in their lauda-
BILE desire to alleviate the sufierings of
others; and second, because the particular
object of this supper deserves contribution.
The suffering and want in the smitten cities
has increased, and literal starvation in addi-
ton to the plague is upon them. We hope
the entertainment Of next Friday night will
be a great success, and that all of the ladies
and gentlemen of the town who can do so
will patroniZe it.

THE HoNEA PATH MEETING.

Greenville and Laurens Counties will have
grand political rally at Honea Path on
next Wednesday the 10th inst, at which
Gov. Hampton, Gen. John D. Kennedy,
Gen. S. MCGOWAN and Judge Cooke are ex-
pected to speak. The meeting will be
largely attended by both ladies and gentle
men. A splendid pic mic dinner is in the
programme, and no doubt the demonstra-
ton will be one of the finest in the up
country. All of the red shirt companies in
the four counties are urged to attend, and
very many of them will accept the invita-
ton. Honea Path always gets up large
and enthusiastic meeting, and those who
can arrange to be present may confidently
rely upon spending most pleasant day.
We trust every person who can attend on
that OCCASION will do 50 for the purpose Of
enthusing the counties which the meeting
is intended to represent.

a CARD.

Mr.. EDITOR: will be obliged to you for
sufficient space in your columns to an
nounce to the members of the Democratic
Clubs of the County, that it has not been
owing to any indifference rs to receiving
their endorsement at the primary election
that have not attended any of their club
meetings. The cause has been severe and
protracted case of sickness, from the effects
of which l have not yet entirely recovered.
I stand where stood in 1876, when, in de-
clining a nomination for the Legislature I
advocated in your issue of the 3rd of Au-
gust straight-out nomination for oil the
State and County offices as the only means
of preventing the banner of State rights and
reform, under which we would do battle,
from being trailed through the mire of Rad
ical corruption. In conclusion, I will say
that have always endeavored to discharge
my official duties faithfully and impartially
and I appeal to the voters at the primary
election to prove by their votes whether
they think have done so or not.
Yours truly,
T. j. PIcKENs, Auditor.

Good Digestion.

"Give us this day our daily bread" and
good medicine to digest it, is both reyerent
and human. The human stomach and liver
are fruitful sources of lifc's comforts; or,
disordered and diseased, they tingle misery
along every nerve and through every artery.
The man or woman with good digestion see
beauty as they walk, and overcome obstacles
they meet in the routine of life, where the
dyspeptic sees only gloom and stumbles and
growls at even imaginary objects. The
world still needs two or three new kinds of
medicine before death can be perfectly abol
ished; but that many lives have been pro-
longed, and many sufferers from Liver dis
ease, Dyspepsia and Headache, have been
cured by MERREL1is HEPATINE, is no longer
doubt. 1t cures Headache in twenty min
utes, and there is no question but what it is
the most wonderful discovery made in med
ical science. Those afflicted with Biliousness
and Liver Complaint should use MERRELL's
HEpATINE. 1t can be had from Simpson,

THE COUNTY FAIR.

Mr.. EDITOR: In the multitude of busi-
ness, politics, and all the ills and vexations
the body polite is heir to- our people have
almost forgotten TINT the County Fair will
be open again this Fall. The people of An
derson are eminently agricultural in their
tastes and ways, and surely everything that
tends to develop, dignity and improve them
in such noble pursuit is deserving of their
best wishes and patronage. There is no
avocation in life that conduccs half so much
to a nation, prosperity as the pursuit of
agriculture. The man who cultiyates the
soil enjoys a life of independence Of which
the proudest monarch might envy him.
The soil Is Gods vast store-house, from
which no issues supplies and advancements
without asking for high interest or liens on
the crops in return. "W1ile the earth re.
maineth, seed time and harvest shall not
cease" has come ringing down through the
corridors of time to cheer man onward in
the pursuits of agriculture, and never yet
has he asked of his mother earth bread and
been turned away empty. Well may our
Anderson farmers take heart A generous
soil, salubrious and healthful climate, a
good government to protect them, o County
Fair to bring together for exhibition the
evidences Of her prosperity and develop
ment in agriculture. What other people
have more advantages? Who would wish
for more2
Every farmer in the County should feel
on interest in this Fair-should come for
ward with specimens of the labor of his
hands. 1t will do him good to bring them,
and perhaps will do his neighbor. good, too.
There will be large lot of premiums to be
awarded by the various committees. They
will be distributed without favor or partial
ity, and the officers of the Association
would certainly be glad to see every one get
a premium, and they shall have it when
properly awarded by the committees.
Respectfully.

show you that Green's August Flower will
