The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1880-08-12

We regret to announce the death of Miss
F. L. w. Robinson, daughter OF Mr.. James
L. Robinson, of Abbcville County, on the
29th ult., of typhus tover, i'll the fifteenth
year of her age AFTER all illness Of nineteen
days. which she bore with Christian resig-
nation. Although young, she had been for
several years consistent member of the
Little River Baptist Church, and in her last
sickness cherished the hope which only u
pure and Christian life can impart. The
family have the heartfelt sympathy of their
friends and acquaintance in their sore be-
reavcment.
The Marion Merchant and Farmer, speak
ing of the primary election system of nom-
mating candidates. says: This much We
do know, tina. leading men from the coun.
ties adopting it, officeholders, if you please,
elected under the primary system, denounce
it, and say they would be glad to get rid of
it." This is not true Of Anderson County,
nor of any other County that has tried the
primary system that we know of. The
more re see of it in this County the better
we like it, and it is fact that no one can dis
pute that the Democracy of Anderson
County was never thoroughly united until
the convention system wcs done away
with.
Il is very gratifying to see the marked
improvements that have recently been made
in the Greenville Daily News, which is now
an excellent paper, in every respect worthy Of
alibcral patronage by the up.country. 1t is
printed in small type, and contains the
latest telegraphic news from all quarters Of
the globe, besides able and sensible editori-
ais and all the State news of general inter-
est. To the people of Anderson it especially
commends itself, inasmuch as it reaches this
place eleven hours ahead of any other daily
papes published. The up-country has long
needed q first-class daily, and it is gratifying
to sec the degree of success that is attending
the efforts of the entefprising proprietors OF
the Nsos, and we only hope they may be ac-
corded that generous patronage of which
they have shown themselves eminently de-
serving.
Even the chickens have discovered
means of finding out the candidates. We
have often heard tina. they could tell q
preacher from other men, but we never be-
fore heard of them being able to distinguish
candidates, but if the story that has reached
our ears from the Hopcwell country is true,
there is no doubt of the fact. 1t is this: A
very diligent and energetic candidate, one
who has travelled about as many miles in
the last six weeks Us the next one, called
on one Of his friends the other day, and
after being in his house few minutes an
old hen came into the room and few upon
table. She was Of course driven out, but
in few minutes returned, when she was
frightened out second time. But she was
not to be foiled in her mission, and the first
thing they knew she was again upon the
table, and before she could be frightened
off deposited an egg, on which was plainly
to be seen the seal of Anderson County, in
the centre of which was the first letter of
the candidates name. This little incident,
of course, has filled the candidates heart
with new hope, and he is now urging his
claims with still greater earnestness than
ever before.
The late session Of the Saluda Association
at Townville was one of the most interest
ing sessions of that body for number of
years. Although the weather was very In
clement the attendance of delegates was
large and the audience remarkably atten-
tive for such large gathering. The bust.
ness of the Association was transacted in
harmony. and the spirit of tho body deeply
interested in the promotion of all the be-.
ncvolent objects in which the body is ell.
gagged. The reports of the various COM
mittees were terse, to the point, and will
doubtless impress the churches with the
subjects Of which they treat. The reports
from the Executive Board were particularly
interesting, showing that during the last
Association year more had been accom-
plished for Missions and other benevolent
enterprises than during any previous yoar,
the contributions having reached the sum
of eighteen hundred dollars. Nearly all
the churches are now in hear y cooperation
and contribute to the various objects which
the Association seeks to foster Rev. J. S.
Murray was unanimously reelected Node
rator and R0v. NJ. McGee Clerk. Townville
extended cordial welcome to both dele.
gates and visitors, and oil left impressed
with the hospitality of the citizens and the
pleasantness OF the meeting. The next AS
sociation will be held with the Church at
Williamson.
