Surplus. Observation-Disclosures. sl3!6,IO4
This surplus, together with 81, 036 100 rec eiyed
from the trustees has been expended for improve
ment of the property-thrd rail, double track
new equipment, etc. The working expenses were
40 per cent of the gross earnings President jew
EFT remarks concerning these expenses: When
the enormous increase of tonnage for the year
and the extremely low rates received for carrying
it are considered, these will be- found to compare
favOrably IN point of economy with previous
years; indeed, the cost of moving $500 cent? per
ton per mile is lower than before III the history
of the road"
The increase in the merchandise tonnage was
sol ,952 tons, and the movement one mile was III
creased IL 1866, 72s tons bnt the earnings from
merchandise fell off $75S,740 because the aver
age rate received per ton per mile was only $500
cent against the average of 1.O2 cents in 1878.
The increase in the coal tonnage was l,560,221
tons. ana the increase of tons moved one mile was
233. O91,o7l tons. The earnings FROM coal
increased only SLOTTED because the aver
age rate received per ton per mile was
64IOo cent against 300 cent in 1873
1t Is probably understood that the company Is not
now paying full interest upon its debt and Will not
pay il until the year 1854 when the annual inter-
est upon the present debt of the company will
amount to $I31f, 1874 exclusive of the interest on
50, 100000 of prior lien bonds the issue of which
was contemplated Dy the Reconstruction scneme.
The present report does not state whether or not
this issue or any portion of it has been made and
the charge for interest," rentals. etc. being Jumped in
the report furnishes no evidence that the interest
paid is more than $2,05O,0s4, which SUN accrued
on the debt without the prior lien bonds.
At all events, the interest accruing last year
was at least 50 500 less than the interest to be
paid IN 1854 So that the net earnings of the year
ended Sept ember 30, 1870, were at least $9ls.696
less than the sum which will be required to pay
the first charges Of 1884.
The directors of the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad met to-day and declared the usual quar-
terly dividend of 1s per cent on its preferred stock

business OF the six months is furnished for publ

Tho Bali and Bat,

a match game of baseball was played at
this place on Saturday morning between
the Resolutes of Greenville and Hamskins
of Anderson, which resulted in an over
whelming victory for the Greenville boys.
The score stood as follows:
Resolutes -3 1 1 So 8 4 2 1-27
Hamskins-2 2 o o 1 2 2-13
tits but fair to the Hamskins to state, how
ever, that they were not in practice, and
that their nine was not composed OF their
best players, as several of them were dis
ablei. It was more of scrub than picked
nine. The game was commenced on Friday
afternoon, and had it not been broken up
by the rain would doubtless have terminal
ed in favor of the Anderson club. They
had only played two innings when they
stopped, and the score stood 8 to in favor
of the Hamskins, with the Resolutes badly
hacked. The Greenville boys are well
practiced, and play good game, but theil
victory this time will not compare with the
one of the Hamskins over them some time
ago. =.
They left Anderson Saturday afternoon
for Pendleton, and on Monday played q
game with the club at that place. The
score stood 10 to 18, in favor of the Reso'
lutes.

SaIuda Association.

The Saluda Baptist Association held it!
nth annual session with the Mount Bethe
Church last week, beginning its session OF
Tuesday and closing on Thursday. All th'
Churches except three were represented
The attendance was large and orderly
The old officers were reelected by acclama'
ton without dissenting voice. The re-
ports of the various standing committees
were concisely and forcibly drawn, and
those on missions and education elected
considerable discussion, disclosing the fact
that the Association is in full sympathy
and practical cooperation with the great
missionary and educational enterprises OF
the denomination. The financial plan
adopted several years ago is working admi-
rably, and large amount of money was
raised and applied to the various charitable
and religious works in which the Associa-
ton is engaged. The plan of operation
supersedes the necessity of agents visiting
the Churches to raise money, and commits
the whole matter to an Executive Board
composed of fifteen ministers and laymen,
whose duty it is to visit every Church and
place before it the work in which the Asso-
citation is engaged. The Association was
largely attended, and hearty, cordial and
hospitable welcome extended by the Church
and citizens in the neighborhood to the
delegates snd visitors.

Another literary Society.

Pursuant to appointment several young
men met in the Office of Moore & Allen on
Tuesday evening last for the purpose of
taking steps towards the organization of a
literary society. Mr.. Columbus Wardlaw
was called to the chair, and Mr.. w. D.
Bewley requested to act as secretary. After
remarks by Messrs. W. W. Keys, h. G..
scudday and A. s. Todd, favoring the Or
ganization of the society, committee was
appointed to draft constitution and by
laws, to be submitted to an adjourned meet
ing on next Tuesday evening, at which it is
hoped there ewin be full attendance of the
young men Of the town. The question,
''Haye the results of the Civil War been
beneficial to the South?" viii also be dis
cussed. We sincerely hope that the present
efforts Of the young men to establish first
class literary society in Anderson will prove
successful, as it is much r,eeded, and if prop
erly conducted can be made of very great
benefit to our entire community, and espe-
cially to our young men.

Sunday School Celebration.

The Sunday School at Walters Church
celebrated its anniversary on last Sabbath
morning, and can boast of the distinction
of having met on every Sabbath during the
year. Addresses were made by Messrs.
G. F. TeIly and z. B. Murray, after which
the following resolutions were adopted:
Re.olred, That the thanks of the Sabbath
School at Carswen Institute are due, and
are hereby most cheerfully rendered, to
Messrs. G. F. Tolly and E. B. Murray for
the very able and appropriate addresses
which they have delivered to Us on this
our first anniversary as Sabbath School
Resolved, That the ANDERSON INTELLI-
eENcER be requested opublish these resolu-
tions.
The superintendent, Col. w. E. Walters,
then delivered an excellent address, after
which the school was dismissed. This is
really 1--we and enthusiastic school, and
though small in numbers is doing good
