.pERsoNAL MATTER.

We take this occasion to reiterate each
i and every statement made by the Editor
of this psper in the speech which he
made at Flat Rock on last Saturday, in
reply to Maj. Moore. We proved by
Messrs. Rncker, Scudday and Clinkscales
that Ms. Moore lied when he charged
the INTELLIGENcER with publishing a
! lie abou. the time necessary for a bill to
pass the Legislature, and We now brand
him with it. He asserted that the IN
TRLk1GEgcER claimed that it was the
people. ne pronounce this statement a
wilfnll, malicious and deprayed lie. The
files of the INTEnL1GENcER will prove
the truth or falsity of this charge, and we
challenge Maj. Moore to produce the
article IN which the claim he states was
made. We will give him access to our
Sfles, and psy. him or his agents one hun
dred dollars if they will find it. If they
do not produce it, the public will see
that Mai. d core stands duly convicted of
lying Now, Maj. Moore talks glibly Of
towards. Let us seeswhere he ranks.
We do not make these assertions in a
Church, but utter and publish them
deiiberately and meaning what We say.
Now, lstns see how much of a bully our
1 Senator can be: Z

Nothing but the Truth.

Mr.. EniroR We are now approaching
the harvest.time of our Summer crops
Providence has singularly blessed us all In
various ways this season. 1t delights the
eye of even the wayfaring man to view the
wide.spreading fields of corn and cotton
which deck this sunny land of ours from
it's four corners. Prosperity stares us in
the face The rains continue to come
corn and cotton to grow. Everybody is
happy, and verify we have many things to
be thankful for; yet there is one thing
none of us seem to appreciate as We ought,
and it is that in order to be prosperous in
this world man must be as careful in
saving as he is in making. For instance,
the Fruit Crop is Short and yet there will
be enough wasted in this County this sea-
son to feed a regiment of hungry soldiers
six months. II our people would go to the
little expense, and less trouble, of securing
a package of this Fruit Preserver from
HILL Bros, they could keep all the fruit
and vegetables they didn't need this Sum-
mer for next Winter, thereby saving great
expense and providing luxury for them
selves and family.
There is no doubt but that the prepara-
ton will do what is claimed for it. Some
of our best people used il last year, and
are using il, and recommending it to their
friends, this season..
We wish to see everybody prosperous,
happy and comfortable, and would sug-
cest that, in order to be so, they must look
closely after small matters.

The Greenville News pours .oil on the
troubled waters Of Anderson journalism
in the following manner:
Editor Todd, of the Anderson Journal,
and Editor Murray, of the Anderson In
TELL1GENcER, have locked horns on the
prohibition question, They have now
reached the point where Editor Todd has
called Editor Murray a "hobby.rider"
and q "weather. cock" and Editor Murray
has in cold and formal type and phrase,
ology denounced his esteemed brother as
having written, printed, circulated, pro.
mulgated and uttered knowingly and
wilfully falsehood. AS these good
brethren live in the same town and are
constantly brought face to face it is not
likely that personal combat can be long
avoided. We suggest that they have the
affair decently and in order and set time
and place. A small admission fee might
BE charged, the proceeds to be devoted to
some charitable purpose or to the solace
of the winner. Very few of our people
can 20 to Baltimore to see the Sullivan
Ryan fight, and an excursion train to
Anderson on the day appointed for a
elimination of the Murray.Todd diff.
Guilty will, we are sure, be literally pat.
ronized. The brethren are about of a
size and one is blonde and the other a
brunette. These facts will add interest
to the occasion. Whether the above sug.
gestions are adopted or not, we hope one
Of our esteemed contemporaries will at
least drop postal card to the Neacs
Office to give notice of when the fight is
