The continued drought through this Sec
ton of country during June and the greater
part of July was not as disastrous to the
crops as was generally apprehended. The
wheat crop was good one, and is now
garnered; the oat was better than an aver
age, and it is hoped that corn, although
much injured on the uplands, will amount
to half or two-thirds of q crop. Should
the yield of the cotton crop prove what it
now promises, we may expect q revival of
trade this fall.
The members of the Lodge of Good Sa-
maritans at this place are endeavoring to
establish Lodges of their Order in other
portions of the County. Aleading light, &C.
companied by one of his brethren, went
down into Savannah township last week and
urged the colored people of that section
to form themselves into Lodge, and share
in the great benefits that accrue to the
members of the Order. But we under
stand they did not meet with very cordial
welcome, and of those who attended the
largest number ridiculed rather than en-
dorsed the suggestion. The dignitaries re-
turned home without having accomplished
the object of their trip, and have appointed
another meeting for the same township.
The meeting of the Anderson Democratic
Club on Thursday evening last, held for the
purpose of nominating ticket for Intend
ant and Wardens of the town, passed off
pleasantly. The meeting was held in the
Court House, and was called to order by
the President Mr.. G. F. Tolly, who stated
in few words the object of the meeting,
and declared the chair ready to receive
nominations. General Humphreys NOM
mated the entire old Council, consisting Of
Mr. G. F. Tolly, Intendant, W. S. Ligon,
J. C. Whitefeld, E. f. Murrah and J. F.
Wilson, Wardens; and Capt. John E. Allen

ant, J. D. Maxwell, ]. a. Brock, John
O'Donnell and J. ]. Baker. After remarks
by Maj. E. B. Murray in favor of the first
nomination, and by Capt Allen in favor of
the last, ballot was had, which resulted
in the choice of the first named gentlemen
as the candidates of the Club.
