Mr.. Andrew McLees, the oldest citizen of
the County, died at his residence on Sad

year of his age. Mr.. McLees was born in
Newberry District in 1887, but removed to
this County in 1904. Mr.. M. was not only

3 We regret to announce that Col. Thos. j.
Pickens, our accommodating and efficient
County Auditor, has been prevented from
attending to the duties of his Office for the
past week by terrible carbuncle upon his
neck. For several days serious consequent
ces were feared, but We hope the crisis has
been passed, and that he will recover as
speedily as possible, though it is feared that
his convalescence will be slow. During his
sickness the work of the Office is well at
tended to by his deputies, Messrs. T. J..
Webb and J. Miles, ,Pickens.

The Anderson Democratic Club held q
very pleasant and harmonious meeting on
last Friday afternoon. The principal bust
ness before the Club was the nomination of
candidates for Intendant and Wardens of
the town, and an address from Col. R. w.
Simpson, of Pendleton. The first of these
items was discharged by nominating the
following municipal ticket, by unanimous
vote of the Club, viz. For Intendant-
G. F. Tolly. For Wardens-E. F. Murrah,
W. S: Ligon, j. F. Wilson and John G..
Whitefeld. Col. Simpson then made very
interesting address, after which the Club
adjourned.
We are indebted to Messrs. Geo. w. Will
liams & Co. for copy Of the new freight
tariff from Charleston to points in the up
country. Freight from New Market to Golden
Grove and Anderson is per 100 lbs. for 4th
class rs cents, 5th class GO cents, 9th class 40
cents, while to Greenville the rates are re-
spectively, 80, 50 and 35 cents, and from
Pendleton to Walhalla the rates are 80, 65
and 45 cents. In the matter of flour, ba-
con, salt and molasses all the points named
are given equal rates with Greenville. This
is the old story Of discrimination, and the
next Legislature should be further petition
ed to do something to relieve the people of
this section Of the country from railroad
determinations.
Every citizen of Anderson should be alive
to the interests of the town of Anderson in
the election next Monday. The Democratic
ticket ought to be, and no doubt will be,
elected by handsome majority. The only
issue involved in this election is of Democ
racy, or, against Democracy. Whatever
pretext may be used for getting up another
ticket than the one nominated by the De-
mocratic Club is an effort to disorganize our
party in the town of Anderson, and will be
opposed by every one who is Democrat.
The present ticket was unanimously nomi-
mated by the Democratic Club, and the plat
form upon which they rnn was also unani-
mously adopted by the Democratic Club.
Any opposition to the ticket will be an OPP
position to the Democratic party, and the
men who engage i'll it should be remem-
bercd as either Republicans, or allies Of the
