TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION,

Saturday afternoon the sudden disap-
pearance of four year-old son OF j. A.
Coffee, who resides five miles south OF
Yreka, California, created much an
xiety to the mother and neighbors
growing into a general excitement by
sundown. no trace OF the little fellow
having been found. A messenger was
dispatched to Yreka for assistance, and
nearly . hundred citizens left and
ioined the search, which continued all
night and up to the finding of the little
child at 10 o'clock Sunday morning.
The little fellow had strayed from the
house one and half miles, and was
found dead in the road. having perished
from cold during the night. He was
lying on his face, one chubby little
hand supporting his head, and the tear
stained face did not denote in the least
the intense suffering through which he
must have passed. His parents are
wild with grief, and the mother Is suf-
fering from exposure, ha'ing joined in
the search for her darling boy all
through the bitter cold night. Her
clothes were in tat.ers in the morning,
and her limbs frightiully lacerated from
coming in contac. with brush.
The collections of internal revenue
for the FIRST four months OF the fiscal
year endiug June 30, 1855, were S5S.-
375, G1G; for the same period the pregi'

TIE evidence of the correctness of the
position IF the INTELL1GENcER last Fall
upon the proper policy for the Democrat
ic party in Congress to pursue upon the
tariff question, are now beginning to be
beyond dispute. The leading agitators
have been mercilessly beaten at the polls,
even the gifted Frank Hurd having sue
cumbed to a Republican protectionist.
The State of Ohio has been lost by the
failure to>restore the duty on wool. The
party had magnificent opportunity, il
it had only refused to 60 into the Morri.
son snare, and appointed a committee to
revise the existing tariff and report at
the next session. That action would
have been prudent and conservative, and
would have commended itself to the
judgment Of thinking men. As it is, we
have lost heavily by ill-attempted legisla-
ton, but fortunately the Republicans
have blundered, too, and by presenting
the great jobber in American politics for
the presidency, have, in large measure,
cured the Democratic blunder. But for
Blaine's nomination we would have stood
no possible chance Of success, and but
for the Democratic tariff folly the Re-
publicaus would already have been COM
pletely whipped.

DEMOCRATIC CLUB MEETINGS.

All of the Democratic Clubs in Ander.
SON County will meet at their usual
places on next Saturday, the 25th inst,
at two o'clock in the afternoon, for the
purpose of transactipg very important
business. It is especially desired to have
a full meeting, for this will be the last
meeting of the Clubs during the cam.
paign, and it is necessary to make some
arrangements for the day of the election.
One or more speakers will be sent to each
Club. The condition of the present
canvass will require every Democrat TO
do.his duty. Our enemies are vigilant
and active in their efforts to subvert good
government. We should meet activity
with activity, and victory will crown our
efforts. We hope, therefore, that the
meeting of the Clubs may be largely
attended. There is important work
ahead of us, and we should all be pre-
pared to act systematically in the endeav'
or to get out the Democratic vote, and to
convert as many Republican voters as
possible. Don't fail to attend the Club
meetings.

Mr, Melton Declines an Empty Honor.

Ex.Judge Melton's name adorns the
ticket recently nominated by the Repub'
lican State Convention in Columbia as
their candidate for attorney general. The
nomination was made while Mr.. Melton
was away from the State, and up to this
time there has been no authentic state
ment of his views upon his own nolnina-
tion. In answer to the inquiries of a
reporter of the Ne,cs and Courier Judge
Melton paused yesterday in the midst OF
his business at the United States Court,
to say iu his own peculiar and emphatic
way, II don't know anything about it. /
was not in the State when the uomina.
ton was made. I was not consulted, and
nobody had any authority to speak for
me. / absolutely know nothing about it
and haven't given the subject any
thought. I care nothing about it.. |
have always expressed the opinion that
it was inexpedient for the Republican
party in this State to nominate State
ticket, and i haven't changed my views
yet. / regret very much that nomina'
ton was made this year. l certainly
don't intend to canvass the State for the
ticket, nor to bother myself about it one
way or the other. There is no chance oi
the ticket being elected, and even if there
was am not prepared to say that would
have accepted the nomination. ."-Ne'''

The people of South Carolina are over
confident about our State in the coming
election. There is registered colored
majority against US in the State. 1t is
thoroughly organized and ready to come
to the polls on the day of election. If
our people do not bestir themselves, we
NAV lose the election. With proper
work, the State is perfectly safe, but
with supine indifference or over-confi-
dence we will lose the election. 1t be-
comes an intelligent people to realize
their danger, and by preparing for it to
avert it. We want every Democrat to
realize the fact that his vote and indu-
ence is needed in this election, and to be
sure to give us the benefit of that vote
and influence. The State has the right
to expect this, for the man who is able
to vote and does not do so, either inten.
tionally or negligently contributes to the
possibility of a Republican victory.
Every man who values good government
in South Carolina should turn out and
vote on election day. 1t is sacred duty
to do so, and the man whc neglects it
fails in dischargiug that duty.

Ayers Pills.
A CARD.

WE would like to call to the attention
of the people of Anderson County few
significant facts concerning the Drug
Store of HILL BROS, recently moved
from Broyles' Building on Main Street to
McCully's Corner on the Public Square
Smiths old stand.
In the first place these men endeavor,b by
watching their business closely, to keep
always on hand such Drugs, Patent Med
icines, Lamps, and other articles in their
line, that parties wishing to come or send
to their Store for anything, not entirely
out of date, can always be accommodated.
For instance, the season for sowing wheat
is now upon US, and they have plenty of
Blue Stone for soaking it all; and so
when the bilious seasons come they have
always on hand a plenteous supply of
Liver Regulators, Pills, &C., and in the
chills and fever time they double their
stock of Quinine and Chill Cures of all
kinds. And even so in the season when
"youDg mems fancies lightly turn" &C.,
that is, along about Christmas, you can
always find there what you want in the
way of beautiful Celluloid Sets, hand.
some Dressing Cases, deliciously scented
md elegantly decorated Pe.fumed Bottles,
Ladies' Work Boxes, lovely Mirrors and
Fancy Articles of every description.
1t is true they keep stock of all these
things throughout the year, but they try
to regulate the quantities to suit the
season for which they are particularly
adapted; and while even in Spring and
Summer they keep their stock Of Lamps
full, you will find that they bave now on
hand the largest and best selected stock
of Library, Extension, Stand and Hand
Lamps they have ever kept before-it is
really worth walk over there to see the
display.
Another significant fact is, that the
Juuior partner, who is the Druggist,
sleeps on the Public Square, in easy ac'
cess to those wishing Prescriptions OK
Medicines prepared at night.

DEMOCRATIC RALLY.

There will be Democratic mass meet
ing for the Counties of Oconee, Piekens,
Greenville and Anderson at Seneca
City on Saturday, November l, 1884,
which will be addressed by Senator
Hampton, Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken and
Messrs Leroy F. Youmaus, W. c. Benet,
E. 3. Murray, M. L. Boubam and J. L.
Orr. It will be the last meeting of the
campaign in the Third Congressional
District, and we trust that it will be g
grand success. Anderson County should
contribute large attendance to this
meeting, which will do much toswell our
majority in the Federal elections, if it is
largely attended. The State is in danger
if every man does not do his duty, and
our people should begin to bestir them
selves from this time until after the cleo
ton.

The many friends of Congressman
Evins will regret to learn that there has
been no improvement in his health since
his return to bis home in Spartanburg.
He is confined to his house the greater
part of the time, and is seldom seen
upon the streets. It is not at all likely
that he will be able to 60 to Washington
this Winter.
On Wednesday oflast week Blanche,
the three.year old daughter of Frank j.
Harman of Lexington, ran against a
negro woman who was carrying bucket
of boiling water. The bucket was upset
and the child so terribly scalded in the
breast that she died the next day.
"A negro in Sumter County picked
up a gun, and, pointing it at another
darkey, said, "Look out, I am going to
shoot you" He fred, tearing off the
mans lower jaw and splitting his tongue
in several places. He didn't know it
was loaded, but he laDguishes in Jail all
the same. The wounded negro will pro.

The Columbia correspondent of the

that Shrewsbury says that the Commit

the State "by a large majority" and
Collector and Chairman Brayton, who
has Just returned from the North, says
that he is very sanguine Of carrying South

The International Time Commission,
which met in Washington on last Mon.
day, decided by resolution to abolish the
present system of numbering the hours
of the day, and substitute system be-
ginning with zero, at midnight, aud run
ming up to twenty -four at midnight htagain.
This system will abolish all difference
between a. m. and p. m. time, and will
alter all hours after IL meridian, so that
one will be thirteen, two fourteen, and
so on to twelve at night, which will be
twenty.four o'clock. This system will
now, in all probability, be rapidly adop-
ted all over the world, and We believe
the change will be very desirable.

To tho Nominees Of the Democracy Of
Anderson County.

GENTLEMEN: The people of Ander-
son have done you high honor, and with
that honor have imposed weighty respon.
sibility. They have chosen you, not
merely to fill the Offices for which you
have been nominated, but as standard
bearers in the conflict which even now is
raging. Are you content, gentlemen, to
sit idly down, reposing upon your prospec-
the laurels, and unwilling or unable to
strike q single blow for good government
and against Blaineism aud corruption ?
Is gratitude with you ga lively sense of
fagors to Gomez" Do you intend that
We shall fight your battle at the polls,
and you stand aloof and condescendingly
consent to be honored7 Surely not,
gentlemen surely not!
During the canvass preceding the
primaries you we're active enough. Why
are you less so now? Have all dangers
to our State and County been overcome
by your nomination? Will your election
by small majority favorably affect the
fortunes of our sister Counties Are
you not aware that there is lamentable
apathy-almost disaffection in our ranks
Can you do nothing? Can you "fnd no
ways in which you may be useful?" Are
you content to be "deadheads" in this
matter? Do you not know that every
Democratic vote in the State must be
cast on November 4, and that it is your
duty to labor, in season and out of season,
to secure that result? We feel sure that
our appeal will not be in vain. We
know some of you too we'll to doubt.
But, gentlemen, the "times are waxing
late" The fateful day is near. Take
care that it be not "dies iro" for us and
for you. Get to work! Do all you can
with heart, brain, mouth and pen aud
then, when the struggle is over, whatever
the result, you, too, will have "cast your
anchors to wiudward," and they will
have taken hold in the affections Of
grateful! people.

THOROUGH ORGANIZATION CALLED FOR.
You will not be disappointed. Re.
member that victory in November over
the unscrupulous men who are now en-.
deavoripg to seize the presidency can
only be assured by your complete organ.
ization. When men are of one mind
and want to impress their opinion upon
the community in which they live, they
must stand together and work together.
The highest and best organization of
which men are capable is that in which
every man wants to do that part Of the
