lor was an employee of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad, and while engaged in
coupling cars was crushed between them,
from the effects of which he died in short
while. He was personally known to many
of our citizens from childhood, and the an
nouncement of his sad and untimely death
carried sorrow to the hearts of many relatives
and friends in our midst. He possessed
many good qualities of head and heart,
and enjoyed the confidence and esteem of
both the officers and employees of the
Company he was serving. His remains
were brought to Pendleton and there in
tered on Saturday.
Visitors to Charleston last week We're af-
forded q pleasant excursion around the
Harbor on Thursday. Several prominent
gentlemen were on board the steamer, and
speech making was INDUCED in to consid-
erable extent. We make the following ex-
tract from the report in the Ne,rs and Courier
of the remarks of Hon. S. Y. Tupper, and
the response to the same by Senator Cray
ton:
We are gratifed to see among our guests
to-day distinguished merchant of the up
country. 1t is men of his intelligence and
enterprise that build up communities, and
dignity the mercantile profession. allude
to:the Hon. B. F. Crayton, of Anderson: l
am sure he will agree with me as to the inl-
portance of Charleston to the State as the
outlet for her products and the market for
her supplies. We would be happy to hear
from the gentleman from Anderson.
This Of course brought out Mr.. B: +.
Crayton, of Anderson, who spoke in pleas
ant terms of the reception which Charles
ton had accorded to her visitors, of the
kindly feeling which had been engendered
by the occasion. He alluded to the revival
of the Blue Ridge Railroad project as one
of the most cheering signs of the growing
prosperity of the country. The feeling Of
jealousy between Charleston and the up
country, which was said to exist, existed
only in Imagination of the politicians and
The people Of the two Sec
tions were one in interest and would work
together for the prosperity of our common
State. [Cheers.]

will fully loom up as such before the next
election takes place and insure its success.
Apart from National politics, we have our
State politics to look after, and just now
they should demand our serious attention,
for there is mischief ahead among the Rad
icals in our State. They will make great
struggle to regain in part their former pow
er. This State as well as every other one,
should act upon the principle Of "take care
of the cents and the dollars will take care
of themselves" and would say then, let
each State take cure Of itself and the National
Government wiN take care Of itself. Gary,
Jeter, Hagood and Burt have been men,
toned as suitable persons for the guberna-
torial chair of our State, besides other
worthy men for the other Offices, thus CIV
ing US long list to choose from. We have
not only large list but good one to
choose from, and if we make bad choice
we will have no one to blame but ourselves.
A "boom" for each one has already been
sounded, and other "booms" will continue
to be sounded for them throughout the
year. We should not let these "booms"
blind US, but should act with cool dscrc-
ton. Our candidate for Governor should
be Straightout Democrat, with honesty,
ability, discretion, fearlessness to act
when in the right and he should also have
the States good at heart. Place such man
in the lead and we are sure to succeed.
The above is substantiated by the past
political history of the State. The straight
out plan succeeded in '76, and if acted upon
it will continue to keep our State politics in
healthy condition, and our people will
thus be enabled to continue to enjoy home
rule and prosperity; but deviate from this
plan and no one can tell what the conse
quences will be. The demagogues may
work the wires in any way they may deem
fit. They may bring their great love of
the people before the public; they may
clothe themselves in any garb they please,
but they cannot cover themselves with a
veil thick enough to hide their hypocrisy
from the public, and they will, sooner or
later, be found out. We want none OF
them, and we will not have them. The
man that possesses the proper ability and
worth will be found out soon enough, and
he should be elevated to the position which
he deserves. Persons of this stamp are the
kind that should be elevated to office by
the people. They should be sought and re-
quested to act. Moves like the one inaugu.
rated by Col. Keitt and the Tor rather a
portion of the) farmers that surround him,
like the "Aiken idea," should be cried
down by the Press. Though, when this
move is looked at closely, it will be found
too weak to amount to feathers weight.
As the editor of the Columbia Register says,
"even admitting the slaves of the Colonel's
tub to be good, the hoops are rotten, and it
has no bottom in it," &C., &c. Iwould add
to this that the Colonel had.as well try to
mix oil and water as the two elements he
is thus trying to unite. G.

Editor Intelligencer-S1R: My attention
has just been called to an article in your
issue of the 29th ult., signed "Nemo,"
wherein he says that am never able to get
the mail arranged by the time get to
Honea Path. That he receives his Ander-
son mail by up train and Due West mail
by down train, and suggests that some one
be appointed to assist me. Now, Mr.. Edi-
tor, under ordinary circumstances I would
not reply to such scurrilous article as
"Nemo's," as the four years I spent ON the
Blue Ridge Road, distributing your valua-
BILE papers and others, convinces the citizens
of the up-country that "Nemo's" statements
are false. But there may be some to whom
am not so we'll known, that may be led to
believe the statements true; therefore pro-
nounce his assertions to be wilful and ma
licious falsehoods.
Respectfully,

The Coming Elections-The Kind OF Per

The Coming Elections-The Kind Of Per-
sons That Should be Elected, &c.
NR. EDITOR: It is admitted on all sides,
and by every one, that the coming elections
will be important ones, as well as critical
for both the Democratic and Radical par
ties; and while this is the case 1 do not
doubt but that the Democratic party, if it
will act with discretion, will be the winner
in this great race. 1t is founded on consti-
tutional principles, and consequently has
the constitution as cornerstone, that will
bolster it up, while the Radical party, from
the very name it bears, implies the uproot-
ing of these principles, and it is using every
means in its power to further its ends. The
people Of the North as well as those of the
South and West, who have the country's
good at heart, will never allow this radical
element to predominate, for they are fully
aware, should this element get full control
of the government, that it would virtually
change our Republican form of govern
ment, and bury for ever those principles
which have been SC long cherished by the
majority Of the people Of the United States.
The Radical pape-s may blow and say what
they please, but when the true test comes
the people will rally to the support of the
government of our forefathers, and it will
be sustained against all odds.
In this election the people must use their
own brains and not trust their political
opinions in the hands of demagogucs who
propose 10 run our government for their
own advancement. True and tried patriots,
and men Of ability and known worth men
who are willing to work for their country's
good, regardless of self, are the men that
should be exalted to Office. I know that it
is at times hard matter to tell what men
are, but still We should be very circumspect
and use care in our selections. There has
been q great number of names mentioned
in connection with the various Offices, both
National and State; and in regard to Ma
tional nominations 1 do not propose to
have anything to say, for I do not deem
myself competent to judge, though from
the information that 1 have been able to
gather good and true men have been spoken
of in connection with the National offices
in the Democratic ranks. Such as Bayard,
Seymour, Tilden and Others, any of whom,
should, they secure the Democratic nomi-
nation for the presidency, would receive
the solid vote of the South and majority
Of the votes of the electors Of the North.
Differences like the financial question will
be merged in the great issue of preserving
our constitution and our republican form of
government as established BY the first Con-
gress and supported Washington, Jefferson,
and others. The Democratic party is the
protector of constitutional rights, and it

Ee- WE desire to inform the public gen.
orally of our prospectus for this year.
While we are thankful to all for their libe-
raj share Of patronage bestowed upon us
during the last few years, We feel satisfied
that we have fully mcrited our great success.
1t was due to no especial good fortune, but
the result of combination Of causes
principally of which is our strict cash sys-
tenn. We have to sustain no losses, run no
risks, but receive the cash for every article
sold. AS our expenses are small, compared
with the amount of business we transact, q
small margin will suffice, and we firmly be-
lieve in the maxim, make slow haste to be
rich."
While at all times we offer great bar
gains to our many customers, we shall adopt
for this year the metropolitan idea of hay
ing Especial Sales in certain Departments"
We have no doubt that it will be successful,
for the ladies will soon find out that if we
have Especial sale' in Embroideries, for
instance, for one week, the low prices for
the time being are Especial" and much be-
low regular value. 1t thus creates mu-
tual interest, for while we are selling those
goods at Especial Prices" we will sell twice
as many Of them; and by buying twice as
much as we used to, we certainly will buy
cheaper. Our inaugural sale will last thirty
days, beginning February 1st, and in order
to introduce this system will be exception
ally grand, our whole stock of Winter
Goods are to be offcred-in spite Of the re-
cent advances-at lower prices than ever,
and we hope our many friends will come
and look, if nothing more.
For the coming season, besides an I'M
MENsE STOCK OF DRY GOODS, we
shall have line of Ladies', Misses and
Childrens' SHOES that is unsurpassed in
this State, the orders for which we have
given already. as each pair is made to our
order and warranted.
We shall also have a complete line of
samples of Cloths and Cassimeres-up to
the very fnest-and make to order all kinds
of garments for gentlemen in the very 10
test styles.
Our stock of Millinery Goods shall be
thus supplying q long needed
want-an effort that we know the ladies
will appreciate. Everything that is desira-
BILE and new, we intend to show it, and our
stock shall be first-clnss in every particular,
and our prices always the very lowest.

enlarged to double its present size and ca
pacity. It is really refreshing to see such
substantial prosperity on the part of this
worthy enterprise, and our only regret is
that there are not several such enterprises
in our own County.
Mr.. Henry Eubank, the travelling agent
and correspondent of the Ne,rs and Courier,
writing from Greenville, has this to say in
regard to the feeling in that city concerning
the Blue Ridge Railroad: 1.-THE marked
sympathy manifested in Charleston with
the Anderson Blue Ridge Railroad depu-
tation meets with hearty accord here, and
it is, / am informed, understood that the
Greenville delegation will give their sup
port to any measure wisely framed to resus-
citate and carry to completion this enter
prise"
The improvements in the town Of An
derson for the last two or three years have
been considerable. Dwelling houses, store
houses and warehouses have been erected,
and as soon as completed occupied. The
business of the town for the last six months
was much larger than ever before during
the same period. Our streets are now daily
crowded with wagons bringing cotton to
market and carrying omesupplies of every
description. This is due to the energy and
business character of our merchants. There
is no better market in the State for the
farmer to sell his cotton and buy his sup
plies.
