WHO Is RESP oNsIBLE.

None Of the Representatives from this
County have given the people the infor-
nation which we called upon them to
furnish relative to the failure of the bill
to allow the voters Of this County to pass
upon the question Of license or no license
for the sale of spirituous liquors in An
derson County. Over 1000 Of the citi-
I zens Of this County asked for the right
TO vote upon the matter, but five men
who we're elected TO serve the people, or
some Of them, ,thwarted the wishes of the
petitioners, and undertook to settle the
question by allowing the sale Of liquor
to continue, whether the people wanted
3siit 3ssiit OF not. In other words, they constitut-
ed Themselves masters Of the people.
Nov, when ne call on them for informa-
I; ton as to who is responsible, they are all
dumb. We want TO know, and . great
many Of our readers want to know, how
our delegation stood on the subject. We
shavemads q general call upon them, but
have secured no response. Therefore we
have determined to ask each member
personally, some questions which may
elicit the information We want.
To begin with, therefore, We would

These are questions upon the public

right to an answer to them, and such

PELzER, S. c., Jan. 9, 1885.
Editor Anderson IntelHgencer: In an
article signed ed. E. F." in your issue of
the 9th inst, allusion is made to me as
one who was member of the late Synod
at Greenyille. This is an error. have
never been member of any Church
court. I am not eligible, holding no
official position in the Church, and I'D.
E. F." should know his co.Presbyters
better.
1 believe the Synod of South Carolina
Was more tolerant than either of the
others, doubtless owing to the fact that a
large minority was ably defending DR..
Woodrow and the Church from the intol-
erance Of the majority, but "the spirit of
intolerance it has been found impossible
to check" has been manifested by the
positions assumed by the anti.evolution
Church papers, one shouting Darwin
whenever it heard Woodrow, and another,
I am informed, severely criticising DR..
Woodrow before the Editor had read his
address. This spirit was also shown in
our various Church courts, when men
who knew nothing of Evolution three
months before, land others, and dozens
of them,) who voted without having read
line of DR.. Woodrow's address, and
without any knowledge or information on
the subject. The spirit Of intolerance
was shown in the Synod of Georgia, in
refusing to allow DR.. Woodrow the time
to speak in; in ejecting director of the
Seminary from his seat as member Of
the board, because he would not promise
to obey the intolerant spirit of that Sy-
nod; aid in following the example of
our own Synod, in taking up man, and
trying and condemning him, and decapi-
tating him without the forms of regular
proceeding and the privileges which were
his right.
II am not mistaken sd. E. F." was
one of the late Board of Directors of The
Seminary, elected on purpose to condemn,
which refused the just demands of the
accused fol trial, which invited him to
show cause, &C., but limited him as to
time, and whit. sbeared him of the usu.
al privileges extended to most criminals;
then expelled him from Office with arbi-
trary power. Is it now for him to talk
about intolerance? What would the
Church call it but intolerance, ifscience,
backed by the power of the State, were
to say to minister in scientific school
you shall not inculcate christianity? /
can understand the wish Of the majority
70 avoid all discussion, and to let the
matter drop. This, however, will not do.
Tie Church has been paric.stricken, led
away by its fears, and misled by gross and
c,nsummate Misrepresentation. A change
of feeling has already begun, and will
slowly but surely spread. Those of the
minority, who like myself prize highly
their blrthright in the Presbyterian
Church, must possess their souls in pa
tience and wait, mortified though they
may be, at the unfortunate position OF
the Church. 1t may be months, il may
be even years, but as certain as the day
succeeds the night, the Church will be
set right, and under such young men as
Hempbill, Boggs, Daniel, Bracket, Mar
tin, Finn, Morris, Mckay, Clisty,
Goetcheous, Crosby and others, educated

TOBACCO GROWING.
.T,ba Columbia Reqister says:

.sRecently q lively interest has sprung
.np in Spartanburg County in the cultiva-
tion of tobacco, and letter from Mr..
I Charles H. Carlisle, Of Spartanburg, to
/ Colonel "a. p. Butler states that num-
!. ber of citizens Of that County are de-
sirous of engaging in tobacco growing
! and if successful to establish warehouse
in that city. Mr.. Carlisle asks for in.
structions, directions, seed, etc, all OF
which Colonel Butler will at once en-.
deasor to provide. He will furnish
8 pamphlets containing instructions as to
the cultivation and curing of tobacco
from the seed to the salesroom. He will
encourage this new field of labor and
profit to the extent of his power, and has
applied for seed, which he will distribute.
The soil of a large portion Of the Coun-
ties. Of Spartanburg, York, Chester,
Fairfield, Laurens, Greenyiile, Anderson,
) Pickens, Abbeyille and Newberry is
adapted to the growth oftthe finest grades
of tobacco. The extra fine article was
introduced into Spartanbnrg by a tramp,
who enlisted the interest of several clti-
zens in the subject, and who remained
there long enough to prepare the ground
and prove his theories by his works. 10.
bacco will soon be one of the leading
articles of cultivation in this State"
The cultivation of tobacco constitutes
the chief industry Of large and -four
ishing portion Of North Carolina, and
We believe that it could be made an
equally profitable crop in this State.
The tobacco growing sections Of North
! Carolina make very little cotton, if any
at all, and yet they abound in an increas-
ing prosperity and thrift. If this crop
should be introduced into this section Of
South Carolina, it would supplement the
cotton crop and give to our planters the
tuo most profitable money crops in the
world. The cotton would give money in
the Fall and Winter, while the tobacco
would bring money IN the Spring and
Summer. It's a cheaper crop to raise
than cotton, and yields more in money
value to the acre. We can grow here
cotton, corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye,
tobacco, and an endless variety of fruits
and vegetables. IF we would quit plant
ing so much cotton and begin the culture
of tobacco, and increase our care Of the
orchard and garden, together with the
cereals, this would be the most indepen.
dent and the most prosperous country in
the world. It is true there is no market
for the leaf tobacco here, at this time,
bnt warehouses and factories would be
established as soon as the culture of
tobacco is begun as one Of the industries
Of this country. We would like to see a
movement begun in the direction Of
tobacco culture in Anderson County.
Any of our planters who would like to
try raising tobacco upon a small scale, to
test its pro6tablehess,. can be supplied
with seed by applying to Col. A. ?. But
Ter, Commissioner of Agriculture, Co.
lumbia, IS. @. We hope that very many
Of our people will try tobacco patch
this year, preparatory to planting more
extensively next season, if the culture
promises the profitable return for which
its advocates hope.

Death of an Old Physician.

Dr. Robert Mattingly, one of Pulaski county's
Oldest and most valued citizens, died at Francis
vile, on Monday, of pneumonia. He was born
at Richmond, KY, and began the practice of
medicine at Corydon, this State, in 1845. He
had lived at Francisvile nearly thirty years.
He was long leader of the Republicans of his
section of the State, and co-worker and friend
of Colfax, Calkins, Packard and others, though
never candidate for Office. He stood deservedly
high in his chosen profession, and was one of
the bestknown practitioners in Indiana. He
leaves as few enemies any man of his un1inch-
ing integrity could WISH while his friends are
numbered by the thousand. The discharge of
duty was his controlling motive, and he never
yielded to self, pain pecunary profit At the
age of eighteen, during the celebrated debates of
Alexander Campbell, he joined the Christian
Church. About 1863 he connected himself with
the Methodist Church. which membership he re-
tanned to his death. He was long prominent
member of the l. o. O. F., and was buried with
the rites of that order.
