The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1878-09-12

urday the 2sth inst, which the ladies and
gentlemen are all invited to attend. The
military and red shirt companies are re-
ouested to arrive early in the morning to
participate in drill before the speaking
begins. A number of gentlemen will ad-
dress the meeting, and pleasant and in.
teresting day is anticipated.
The Ryans' will be the best of the season.
We would call attention to the advertise
ment of the Ladies' Store, which appears
elsewhere. Miss Lizzie Williams has just
returned from New York, where she pur-
chased large and elegant stock ofladies'
goods to supply the wants of her many Gus
toners this fall. Her experience and sue
cess in business are sufficient guarantee of
the goods which will be found at the La
dies Store, and those wishing to get the ad-
vantage of selecting their fall and winter
outfits will be compelled to call carly to do
so.
Mr.. w. C. Chapman, who recently bought
the Emporium of Fashion at this place from
Mr.. 2. D. Chamblee, is now in New York,
where he is purchasing large and varied
stock of ladies goods, together with gen.
eral stock of fancy goods, notions, dry goods
&C., which will begin arriving in few days.
Mr.. Chapman has had considerable expert
ence in merchandise, es member of the
firm of Anderson e. Chapman, of William
ston, and will no doubt bring on an excel
lent selection of goods, which he will be
pleased to have the public call and exam
inc for themselves.
Mr.. N. A. McCully deserves the thanks
of the business men of Anderson for the
persistence with which he has worked for
low freights to Anderson by way Of Central.
He has recently seen Col. Foreacre, the
Superintendent. of tho Air Line Railroad,
and expects to increase the business still
further. One Of the results of his labors is
that the Greenville and Columbia Railroad
has reduced its freight on cotton to Charles
ton from Anderson to $265 per bale, instead
of 1925, as it has heretofore been. If our
people will support him in his efforts to re-
duce freights the railroads will have 10 come
down still lower.
The meeting of the Democratic Club OF
Anderson on last Friday afternoon attend
ed to some routine business of importance,
and appointed committee to arrange for
the grand rally which is to be held at this
point on the 5th day of October next. The
Club expects to do all in its power to con-
tribute to the pleasure and comfort OF sii
who attend the meeting on that occasion.
The time for the next meeting of the Club
was changed back to the night instead Of
the afternoon of each first Fridsy in ,he
month. The Anderson Palmetto Band was
present and enlivened tine meeting by ren-
dering some of its most charming music.
Col. Joseph n. Brown returned on last
Monday from visit to New YORK and Bal
timore, whittier he went on professional
business connected with the litigation in
reference to the South Carolina and Green
vile & Columbia Railroads. Col. Brown
represents large number of the bonds of
each of these Roads, and is very cheerful
over the prospects of the pending litigation,
which he thinks will probably result in the
appointment of separate Receivers for each
of the Roads, so as to cause the Roads to be
run separately in the interest of the cred
ito,s of each Road. This. will secure the
running of the Greenville & Columbia and
the Blue Ridge Roads in connection both
with the Air Line and the various Roads
running into Columbia, from which course
the various points along the line Of the
Road. aud especially Anderson, will be
likely to derive very material reductions in
freights, and the profits of the Road will at
the same time in all probability be increased
by an enlarged business.
The Hypochondriac is simply superb. l
