LOCAL MATTERS.
REDUCTION in PRICE.
$3.50 PER YEAR.

Ia view of the fact that everything is
now much cheaper than it has been in
the past, we have decided to furnish our
subscribers with the INTELLIGENCER at
One Dollar and Fifty Gents year, if
paid in. advance, or Two Dollars if paid
atthe end of the year.
In doing this We do not intend to reduce
the size of our paper, nor to pay less at
tention to it, but will endeavor 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
sderson 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 at this price upon any other
plan. We hope all of our subscribers
will at once come in and pay up their
arrearages.and renew at our reduced rates
for another year. The following gentle
men are our authorized agents, and pay
ments made to them will be accredited

ARREST OF MURDERERS.

On last Thursday night two colored men
went to Mr.. A. J. stringer, the Express
Agent at Belton, for package belonging to
L. NJ. 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
the aid of microscope, discovered that GER
tain stains on it were evidently blood,
whereupon he communicated the fact to
Maj. B. D. Dean, the Intendant. who tele-
graphed the facts to Ninety-Six, and re-
ceived an answer directing the arrest of the
parties. The arrest was made, and officers
arrived on the Fridays train to take charge
of the prisoners. They were searched and
a considerable sum Of money was found OH
them. 1t is said they made efforts to get
colored men to carry them to Georgia, and q
letter was found in the pocket of one Of
them saying he would like to 20 back to
Abbeyilie, but that times were too hot now.
The parties were discovered to be L. NJ.
Williams and Tom Carroll, an ex-Coroncr
and acting Sheriff of Edgefeld 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 Maj
Dean was prudent and yet decided, 50 that
the whole credit of these arrests is due to
them.

WILLIAMST0N. /.

AS the last few days in Williamson have
been days of raking, scraping, moving and
general commotion, or changing of situa-
tion, shall give you few of the dottings.
Our schools, both male and female, have
closed their fall sessions. The young ladies
of tSe female college have dispersed and
gone 10 their several homes, for TIE present,
at least-though we hope that the most, if
not all of them, will return in due time-as
we do not think that they could 60 to bet
ter institution anywhere to prosecute their
studies ..... We are sorry to state that Mr..
Miller principal of the male academy, is
speaking of leaving US soon, and.he will
certainly be missed by number of warm
friends and others who have formed quite
an attachment for him during his sojourn
among us. May prosperity and a bright fu-
ture attend his steps through life....Mr. N.
R. Wilson has removed from the place
which he has been occupying on the corner
of Bridge street on the Pickensville road, to
the lot on Main street, recently vacated by
Mr.. David Stoddard, and our iovial old
friend, Col. Hodges, has purchased and gone
to the place just vacated by Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. ]. w. Dacus has removed from the
corner of Jug Handle and Bridge street, to
the residence lately occupied by friend
Wicker. Mr.. Dacus has also purchased his
copartner's interest in their stock of goods
and will continue the business at the same
stand, first door east of the G.. & G.. R. R.
Mr.. Wicker has gone back to his old home
IN Newberry County. Several other changes
will probably be made in few days......
Rev. DIR. Furman, of Greenville, s. c., has
been chosen to supply the Baptist Church
with preaching next year, and has already
commenced his ministerial duties, which
we think will be acceptable and profitable
with all classes. Rev. S. Lander will still
continue to supply the Methodist church.
No permanent arrangements have as yet
been made for supplying the Presbyterian
church for the ensuing year, but we suppose
they will likely have preaching once q
month. .... There has been some auctioning
of dry goods in town; the Christmas holi-
days have been ushered in; Santa Claus has
paid his annual visit, and made glad the
hearts of many Of the little juveniles who
are out on the streets, and seem to be en-
joying themselves with youthful glee, not
withstanding the unfavorable and gloomy
weather which is now prevailing. Before
closing, I must say that the boys of Viii
liamston have been more quiet and peacca-
Bile during the holidays thus far than they
have usually been heretofore on such occa-
sions.
