The Primary Election on Friday is equiv
alent to an election in Anderson County,
therefore if you wish to have voice in
selecting the officers for this County, go out
and vote or send your vote to the managers.
Do not fail to vote in the Primary Elec-

County ought to vote or send his vote in
order that the largest possible vote may be
pollsd so as to give no cause for complaint
at the result.

nhirts.
Over $4,000 tickets for the primary elec-
tion in this County have. been printed at
the INTELLIaENcER Job Office, besides seve-
raj thousand in other counties. This will
certainly supply each of the $500 voters in
our Clubs with rs many tickets as the pres
ent programme intends shall be used by
each one.
Numerous wagons of cotton have been
brought to Anderson from Hart and Elbert
Counties, Georgia, and sold during the past
week. Our trade is looking up more than
it mas dons since the building of the Air
Line Railroad. The Anderson market is
now beyond question the best in the upper
portion of the State.

Tuesday last will long be remembered as
"Big Tuesday" in Anderson. On that day
over three hundred bales of cotton were
sold, the crowd was immense, quiet and
orderly, everybody apparently in good hu-
NOR, though necessarily delayed in having
their cotton weighed. If the receipts con-
tinue as large during the remainder of the
week, the sales will probably reach twelve
or fifteen hundred bales. 'Rah for Ander-
son.
We would call attention of the trading
public to the advertisement of Miss Lizzie
Williams i Co., proprietors of che popular
Ladies' Store OF Anderson. They have q
large and carefully selected stock of goods,
which they propose to sell at very low
figures for the cash during the next two or
three months. Their stock was selected in
person by Miss Williams, which is suffi-
cient guarantee that they arc first class in
every respect. Be sure to examine their
stock before purchasing elsewhere.
The citizens of Anderson and their guests
will have rare opportunity for two even
ings' enjoyment during the Fair next week.
An able corps of amateur actors, under the
supervision of Mrs E. C. Davis, are rehears-
ing the dramas "Single Life" and Married
Life" which they will present to the public
on Thursday and Friday evenings next, in
the Masonic Hall. The proceeds will be
given to the Palmetto Riflsmcn. Admis-
sion so cents, without extra charge for re-
served seats. We wish them q generous
patronage.
On last Tuesday the quantity of cotton in
Anderson was larger than We have seen
during the past six years. AT one time the
line of wagons leading to the depot to have
cotton weighed extended from the depot to
the public square, distance of about half
mile, and the square had large number
of wagons standing with loads of cotton
awaiting sale. The price given for the
fleecy staple here is better than at the mar
kets which have hitherto drawn the trade,
and the amount brought to this point every
day is very large.
The combined railroad and political meet
ing at Bolton on last Friday was attended
