In view of the fact that everything is
now much cheaper tha1 it has been in
the past, we have decided to furnish our
subscribers with the INTELLIGENCEI ut

paid in advance. or Two Dollars If paid
at the end of the year.
In doing this we do not intend to reduce
the size Of our paper, nor to pay less at
tenton TO it, out will endcavor to make
it better than it has been heretofore, and
hope to receive large additions to our
subscription list. We ought to have at
least twenty-five hundred readers in An
derson County, and hope that our friends
will help us to secure that number very
soon. In making this change in price,
we have put the paper down to the lowest
possible margin, and must have the
money in advance. We could not afford
to publish Mt this price upon any other
plan. We hope all of our subscribers
will at once come in and pay up their
arrea,ages and renew at our reduced rates
for another year. The following gentle
men are our authorized agents, and pay
mcnts made to them will be accredited
by us:

CARoL1NA COLLEGIATE 1ssr1ruTE.

This most excellent institution will re.
open on Monday, the l4th inst, and de-
serves to receive the liberal patronage of the
citizens Of Anderson and adjoining Coun.
ties Our people are interested in having q
College of high order at this place. and to
secure such an institution should give Prot.
Lyon not only the benefit Of their patron
age, but also Of their influence He is O
gentleman of very fine literary attninments,
and if encouraged to an extent to Justify
him in doing so, would make this College
the peer of any in the State. 1t is founded
upon the plan of u co. education of the sexes,
and has demonstrated by its practical work
ings for several years past that the system
under which it is operated is not only n
possible, but that it is a very desirable and
successful plum of instruction. The town of
Anderson is healthy location, and pos
sesses highly intellectual and moral popu-
la:ion, which affords improving und pleasant
associations to those who may come into
our midst for educational purposes. With
such school as that presided over by Prof.
Ligon, and such advantages as those pos
sessed by our town, we are satisfied that
parents ut home and abroad cannot find q
more desirable institution III which to edu-
cate their boys and girls than in the Caro-
lima Collegiate Institute at Anderson.

ARREST OF MunpERERs.

On last Thursday night two colored men
went to Mr.. A. ]. Stringer, the Express
Agent at Bolton, for package belonging to
l.. M. Williams, but failed to obtain it, as
they could not produce the Express receipt
or be identified. On Thursday morning the
parties called with the receipt and paid the
express with ten dollar bill, tor which Mr..
Stringer gave them change. Having heard
that Williams was charged with completely
in the Franklin murder, Mr.. Stringer ex-
amined the ten dollar bill closely, and, with
tie aid of q microscope, discovered tllat GER
tain stains on it were evidently blood,
whereupon he communicated the fact TO
Maj. b. d. Dean, the Intendant. who tele-
| gaphed the facts to Ninety-Sfx, and re-
| ceivcd all answer directing the arrest of the
| parties. The arrest was made, and officers
| arrived OH the Fridays train to take charge
| ofthe prisoners. They were searched aud
q considerable sum of money was found OH
them. It is said they made efforts 10 get
cOlorcd men to carry them to Georgia. nni q
letter was found in the pocket of one of
them saying he would like to 20 buck to
Abbeyille, but that times were too hot now.
| The parties were discovered to be l.. 81.
Williams and Tom Carroll, an cx-Coroncr
and acting Sheriff of Edgefield under Radi-
| cal rule. 1t is said that the testimony
against them is ample, and that If they fail
| in this they will have other cases against
them in which there is no doubt OF their
guilt. The action of Mr.. Stringer and Mai.
Dean was prudent and yet decided, SD that
the whole credit Of these arrests is due to
| them.

After drill Captain Simpson stated that he
had been rendered position of honor by
Governor Hampton, which he could not
accept without resigning his Captaincy; that
he highly appreciated the compliment of the
Governor, but that the members of the
Company were his neiglbors, with whose
interests his were identified, and with whom
he was united by many dear ties that lie
had labored hard in aiding the Company to
attain the perfection which it had attained,
and that if he left il it would be with great
reluctance however. If the Company
thought best, he would accept the position
offered by the Governor Immedia.ely
afterwards he retired from the Company,
leaving 1t alone to consider the matter.
The following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Resolftd, That the Conner Light Dragons
assure their Captain that they highly ap-
preciate his past service, End cannot accept
his resignation, unless by remaining with II
he will make great personal sacrifice and

For reasons best known to Captain Simp-
son he asked to withhold his decision till

28th ul, at this place. a lack of prompt.

tanning decision induced some members
of the company to suspect that he thought

auently, on the day last referred to the
Company unanimously decided 20 der,and
his continued services as their Captain. He

to him. in an appropriate speech le ex-

MR.. EDITOR: There seems to be considera-
Die doubt In the minds of the people in re-
gard to the new FeTce Law, and numerous
enquiries have been made as to when it will
go into effect We desire to state that the
Commissioners have declared and published
the result of the said election, and that the
now Fence Law, according to the Act, and
not of the Commissioners took effect in
those Townships adopting it the first day of
January, 1878. Parties who suffer their
stock to run at large, do so at their own
risk.
The line fences will be built as soon as
practicable, and the fact that they are not
built is no license for parties to suffer their
stock to run at large.
