Some Of the Massachusetts, papers dc
not like what the INTIi.TIuETCii;;i;ss ssa::4a
about Gov. Rice refusing to surrender
Kimp.on under Gov. Hampton's requisi-
tion. We are not particular about
whether they are pleased or not, mas
much as we did not express our views on
that subject for the purpose Of securing
the commendation Of set of Journals
whose highest ambition is to villify one
section of tho union for the purpose Of
keeping in power & party whose only life
consists in hate, and whose only food is
public plumber. En fast. L tho Radical
papers Of Massachusetts had agreed with
US we would have been convinced our
views were wrong, for that portion of the
press has not been known to be right on
public matters in the last fifteen years.
by the way, however, |. strikes ns that
the people of Massachusetts do not seem
to think the !NTELLIaENCER's views
were SO unreasonable, after all, for even
the Republicans have thrown aside both
Gov. Rice and Mr. Attorney General
Train, and nominated other men to take
their places, thus showing that if these
officials and their newspaper allies were
willing to let the State become al asylum
for political rogues, that the people Of
tfnt State nave suuio objections TO such
policy. They realize that their State
has been scandslized and disgraced by
the course Of Gov. Rice, and have shown
determination to retrieve their integrity
Us State by utterly diGcarding him and
the Attorney General who assisted in
perpetrating this outrage upon law
While the people even Of Massachusetts
thus condemn these men, We can afford
to look with complacenCy upon tho dis
com6ture manifested by their partizan
nresq

Extra Liability to Malarlal Ineeetion

Persons whose blood is thin. di.astion

tho attacks of malarial disease The most
trininG exposure may, un,ie. such condi.
tons, infect system which, If healthy,
would resist the miasmat;', taint. The only
way to secure immunity from malaria in
localities where, 1t is prevalent, is to tone
and regulate the system by improving
weakened digestion, enriching the blood
and giving wholesome impetus to hillary
secretion. These results are accomplished
by nothing so effectively as Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which long experience has
proved to be the moat reliable safeguard
against fever ana ngue and kindred disor-
ders, as well Us the best remedy for them.
The Bitters are, moreover, an excellent in.
yigorant of the organs Of urination, and an
active depnrant: eliminating f-cr. The ti!c;..

The meeting at KingStree, in Williams
burg County, on last Monday was 0
large and enthusiastic one, considering the
proportion of the population TO othc,
counties. There were some two tbous
and persons present, one-fourth of whom
were colored. The stand was magnifi
Gently decorated, ano the greatest inter
est was manifested by tho people of this
county. Speeches were madc by Gov
Hampton, Hon. John 8. Richardson and
E. B. Murray, Esq, after which Solicitor
Hirsch, who has heretofore been Re-
publican, was introduced, and announced
his determination tosupport Gov. Hamp-
ton and the cntiro Democratic ticket.
Taken oil together 1t seems to us that the
prospects for Swails and the other Radi-
Gals il blue one in this county. The
motto of the day was "Williamsburg
must be redeemed" and we believe the
taak vii. be performed.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD.

The management of the South Caro-.
lima Railroad passed into the hands OF
the Receiver, Mr.. John Y. Fisher, ap-
pointed by Judge Bond, on lest Monday.
AS number of our readers are inter
ested In this road, we make the following
extract from an editorial in the Ncrs and
Courier as to its future prospects and
management:
The South Carolina Railroad, however.
is not dead, or sleeping. Mr.. Fisher, in
some respects, will be more free than the
President and Directors were. Upon
him there will not press a mass of com.
plex and conflicting liabilities, and as he
is familiar with railroad management, In
every branch, there is no reason to doubt
that ne will make good use of his adyan-
tages. The successful working of the
South Carolina Railroad ineci:s.. s o-S
ing in tho interest Of Charleston, The
two, the City and the Road, canncs be
divorced. without mortal hurt tn keth
One is dependent ON the other. Mr..
Fi4hef appreciates this fact, and, as he
was appointed by Judge with whom he
Is in nowise connected, upon the nomi-
nstion OF the counsel representing the
Road, the Syndicate and other defendant
interests at Baltimore, he will take a
pride In retaining everything in the con-
duct OF the Road that is broad and liberal
and suited to the times, pushing the pro-
greasiye features of the policy Of the retir-
Ing administration to point which Mr..
Meggrath end HE ssseciases unfortunately
could not reach. We are assured that
Mr. Fisher contemplates nothing extreme
or revolutionary. He will do no more
and 40 less, than Is requisite to bring the
South Carolina RailroAd to the frat fank
among Southern RoaIs, aud to make Il
Q valuable end paying property to oil
interested.

Senator N. G. Butler, Colonel Aiken,
Speaker Sheppard, Judge Bacon, Capt
Dawson, of the Netcs and Courier, and
Col. Cothran are the speakers for next
Saturday. Every man, woman and child
in the County should bo certain, if pos
sible, to attend this meeting, The ora
tions will be eloquent and entertaining
We should on this day show how old
Anderson appreciates the Democracy
and its triumph. Darlington County
had Eve thousand persons present at her
Hampton meeting. Anderson must do
as,well, or lose the name of the banner
County. Ten thousand persons ought to
be here next Saturday.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING ON NEXT
SATURDAY.

Arrangements are now being perfected
for the gathering Of the Democratic hosts
at Anderson Court House on next Sat
urday. A number Of distinguished
speakers from abroad: engaged In the
State canvass, vii, be prccent and ad.
dress the assemblage on the lie issues of
the day. This meeting may not be
necessary for the success Of the Demo
cratic party in this County at the ensu-
ing election, but it, in connection with
those held and being held in every Coun-
ty in the State, is absolutely necessary to
carry the State. The enthusiasm and de.
termination Of the people of the upper
and middle counties Of the State in 1875
gave to the whole State such assurances
OF success that every heart was nerved
for the contest, and decided victory the
result. So long as the same enthusiasm
and determination animate the people
success is inevitable. If, with the whole
State government against US, we defeated
the Radicals 30 thoroughly, certainly,
with that government with US, we can
defeat the demoralized hosts Of our oppo.
nents. The only danger that we sec to
the Democratic party of the State in the
future arises from conviction of over
confidence. In 1876 every man felt his
duty TO the State, and made every sacri-
flee necessary TO discharge that duty, and
thereby secured an honest and econom-
ical government, by which he has been
most amply repaid for every sacrifice lie
made. SO long as the spirit Of 1876 en-
thuse the people, 80 long will we hare
good government. When tho great
masses of the people from cr-conf;cncc
or any other cause become Indifferent
about the administration of the govern
ment, then is defeat and maladmistration
only question of time. The Democrats
of Anderson are called upon to give an
other day to the party and State and to
iGako the same effort TO retain and per-
petuate good government that they made
to defeat the horde Of thieves who had
usurped the Offices and powers of the
State. The same determination that
characterized the canvass two years ago
should now be manifested, and next Sat
urday become noted as the day upon
which the masses have reiterated their
resolve that South Carolinians shall rule
South Carolina. Let every Democrat in
the County feel that the SUCCESS of the
meeting depends upon him, and then the
assembled thousands will unmistakably
declare that what has been achieved in
the past shall not be lost in the future by
indifference or inactivity. Able and dis
ti.guished speakers, among whom will
be Gen. NJ. G. Butler and the Hon. ID.
w. Aiken, will be present, and let the
Democracy of Anderson give them such
reception as the occasion merits. The
business ;,o" cf Anderson have de-
termined to close their doors OH that day,
and 80 let all business in the County De
suspended for one day, and that day
given to tho State, and the County will
save thousands of dollars in the one item
of taxes, besides securing good and hon
est government

= TWO sudden deaths occurred in
Fairfield County last week, the victims
being youths just entering into man
hood. john Wiley, a son of Can't.
John Wiley, was seized with acute rheu-
matism on Saturday, the l4th instant.
Medical attendance was called. and he
seemed to &c improving, and appeared
so we'll on Saturday that his father rode
into town. While absent he received
the sad news that his son was dead.
On the same day, at 2 o'clock, Andrew
Mobley third son of E. p. M0bley, ESQ.,,
aged about fifteen years, was at his
fathers ginhouse cleaning pistol which
he did not know was loaded. The mug
zle was turned towards him, and the
weapon was accidentally discharged, tie
ball entering the abdomen and passing en-
tirely through the body, inflicting inju.
riea from which lie has since died.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR Is DUE.
The True. Story of tho "IsuIIet-Sawn Oak
OF the bloody Angle"

The AbbeviIle Press and Banner. in
noticing Gen. McGowan's report of the
Wilderness and Spottsylvania Court
house, says:
Of ali Che fierce struggles Of the war,
iirultful, in glory and fearful liz bloodshed,
those battles are unsurpassed. "The
Bloody Angle" then described by lines OF
death.dealng fire stands out unique
picture in the gallery of war.
We are informed that the stump OF
the tree cut down by myriads of mlisket
balls, referred, 10 by GET. McQowan, has
beer. uprootcd, removed to Washington
and is now on exhibition l.ierc at the war
department. 1t was displayed at the
Centennial Exhibition at PHILADELPHIA
rs remarkable evidence of bravery and
endurance Of soldiers in battle. II Ger.
tainly affords the highest evidence pos
siblo of tie intensity and duration of a
musketry fire, and Of the devotion of the
soldiers who could stand such fire. But
1t must not be forgotten that il was not
the Fedcrals, but the Confederate soldiers
who received that fire. The tree stood
within "thc Bloody Angle" few steps
~ the rear OF the Confederate trenches,
and every ball which struck it was dis.
charged from Federal rife, and pas
sed over the "boys in gray" and struck
the tree in their rear
Col. A. T.. Butler, now the Honcrabl.
Senator from Aiken County. then com
mandcd the First South Carolina Regi-
mcnt,. was very near the tree, witnessed
the whole ocess Of scaling" and saw
it when it fell upon and injured some OF
his men. The diameter Of the tree was
measured by the sword of Gen. Wilcox
and found to be twenty inches. The in
cident is perfectly we'll authenticated and
is certainly one of the most interesting
in the annal Of war There are many
famous trees, but not one that we wot OF
not the Royal Oak Of England, nor the
Charter Oak of America, can vie histor-
ical interest with the bullet-sawn oak of
the Bloody Angie. Let the Federal
government give it an hon0red place
among the spoi!s Of that bloody war; let
it be preserved as proof of the terrific
power and concentration Of the firing OF
the Northern soldiers. But it would be
strange reversion of title to glory if the
pierced and Jagged stem Of that sacred
tree should be regarded a. redounding to
the honor Of the Fcderals, instead OF
as signal of the Confederate bravery
unmatched in warlike story.

Practical Wisdom.

An ancient adage says, SIN time of
peace prepare for war" Is it not equally
wise to prepare for sickness in time of
health? When anticipating journey,
guide books end maps are studiously ex-
amined, and all possible information of
the route and country obtained. Yet
many make the tourney Of life" and
throughout the entire trip remain almost
strangers to themselves, in profound
ignorance of their abilities, and have no
knowledge of the physiological laws that
govern mind and matter. To such, life
is like boy handling an engine, he may
have ascertained how to start and stoplt,
but he knows not how to keep it in run
ming order. The Peoples Common Sense
Medical Adviser, an illustrated work of
over 900 pages, is designed by Its author,
as a popular handbook of an atomy,
physiology, hygiene, medicine and the
most common diseases to which all are
liable, ana with which many are afflicted.
The work is replete with sound, practi-
cal suggestions. Price, S1.50. Address
