Is There no Law to Reach aim 2

MEssRs. EDITORS: In a certain section
of this County there is nasty, filthy, vul-
gar, rouguish. drunken white or mulatto
man, claiming to be an Indian Doctor
This man and his wife are about the
filthiest couple your correspondent ever
saw. The man rarely, at home or else
where. wears shoes, and never hat. The
room in which they live is said to be the
personifcation of uncleanliness. The
stencil of the house is unbearable. When
the Doctor bleeds any one or performs an
operation, tho overflow goes to the floor,
and there remains until time removes it.
In short, the den is more unpresentable
and less attractive than that of the hum
blest peasant In the County.
Now, strange as 1t may appear, it would
surprise you to know to what extent this
ignorant inpostor is being patronized.
1t is stated, on reliable authority, that he
had 10l patients in single day. How
many he is carrying to premature grave,
future developments only can tell. In
proof of how he Is destroying, we will
refer to his treatment In single case. A
oolored child was taken to the so-called
Doctor. The Doctor said to the parents,
"your child's liver is growing to its side.
Take it home and hang it by its heels a
half an hour each morning." While 30
suspended the child died. Last Saturday
quite crowd, say fifty, of his patients
came in to be treated, and among them
were several ladies. The old Doctor was
dead drunk, having run his wife from
home, and it is said that oaths and most
Objectionable vulgarity proceeded from
his mouth in the very presence ofladies,
as he lay vomiting and rolling on the
floor.
For the sake OF decency, and 2n the ac-
count of ths parity Of your columns, we
refrain fEom telling all the truth. But the
most surprising thing is that ha has fol-
lowing of respectable white people, who
will defend him in all his iniquities.
Now, is there no law to reach such a
tramp? Ifso, he ought to be given the
fullest extent. It is certainly disgrace
and an insult to civilization, intelligence,
refinement and progress to allow the cul-
mination Of such. There is point at
which forbearance ceases to be virtue.
Now, to those of our f-iends whom we
believe to to ocassientiGda, hut who are
de;ud1d wa would say for the sake OF
Humanity keep away yourself, and above
all see that your wives, daughters, &C.,
shall net hs the patients of this untutored
tramp. REX

rh. a,darson Cotton Mills.

Last Monday the subscribers to the Cot
ton Factory fund met in the Court
House for the purpose of organization. A
very favorable representation was in
attendance. Mr.. J. A. Brock, President
pro ten,pore, on taking the chair announced
that the subscription lists were still open,
and those present who had not subscribed
and wished to, and those who wished to
increase their subscription, could now
come forward and make their subscrip-
ton, whereupon several new names were
added to the lists, and several subscrip-
tions were doubled. The roll was called,
and majority of the stock found to be
present.
A motion was then made and carried
that the stockholders 60 into perma'
nent organization, by the election of nine
Directors. The following were elected
Directors j. A. Brock; J. N. Brown, S.
Bleckley, George A. Wagner, A. j. Sit
ton, W. w. Humphreys, W. G. Watson,
A. A. Dean and s. NJ. Orr. These are
men of both financial and executive abil-
ity, and men who have managed their
own business successfully. They are
careful and prudent, and yet men of pro-
gress. Their election as the managers
would seem to insure the success of the
Anderson Cotton Mills"
Several short addresses were made urg-
ing the present subscribers each to con-
slider himself a committee to secure as
much additional stock as he had already
taken, and by this means the present SUBJ
scriptions would be doubled.N
After the meeting, the Directors held a
meeting and organized by electing j. A.
Brock President, and Mr.. J. j. Baker
Secretary
In the election of Mr.. Brock to the Pres
idency of the "Anderson Cotton Mills"
deserving compliment was paid to one
of Anderson's most worthy young citi.
zens. He is the right man in the right
place-one who will be an honor to and q
worker for the cotton mills.
In this connection we would urge our
citizens to nourish, and cherish, and en-
courage the enterprise. Do notstand aloof
aud say it is good thing, and hope it will
succeed, and stop there; but run your
hands right down into your pockets and
come down with the chink, and thus
show your faith in the success of the
enterprise by your work. We need your
help, and We want it. The larger the
factory the better the investment, and the
greater the results, both in financial
view and as material progress. Let us
not have any "Betsy and I killed the
bear" in this undertaking, but let every
man and woman come right square up to
the full measure of duty, If you feel an
inter est in the prosperity of Anderson and
Anderson County, show 1t. The South
must be developed, and in this develop
ment Anderson County must fall into
line and keep up with progress, or lag
behind. By your work you shall be
known.

The celebrated Court preacher,
Kober, once preached a very powerful
sermon against intemperance. The Grand
Duke ofSaxony, whose nose looked Like
a chinese lantern, happened to be present,
and he naturally regarded the remarks as
referring to himself; consequently he
looked very severely at the eloquent Court
preacher, who, catching the Grand
bucal eye, modified bis remarks by say
ing: drunkenness is undoubtedly a
great and heinous sin, against which
every true Christian should be warned,
excepting, of course, our beloved Grand
Duke, whom God preserve to US many
years yet"

The weather remains wet-the crops are
grassy-harvest is at hand-the small
grain crop is below the average.
Mr.. E. E. Earle, of Andersoqville, su-
perintends large and flourishing Sunday
School at Double Springs.
Mrs. Nancy Yeargan, an aged and re.
spected lady, is dangerously ill at her
home near Townville.
Tell Burke" your Hollands Store
correspondent, that our bear has departed
these coasts, and revels at present in
parts unknown.
Rev. DR.. Frierson, of Anderson,
preached in Mr.. Ligon's place at Town
vile on the last fourth Sunday. He gave
an able exposition Of the decalogue, and
his grand discourse was highly apprecia-
ted by large and intelligent audience.
Rev. T. @. Ligon, while engaged in
making small repair upon his pasture
fence some days ago, accidentally fell over
some rubbish and broke his leg. His
injuries, however, are not dangerous, and
it is hoped that he will speedily recover.
Mr.. E. P. Bruce, young man who re-.
sided with his mother in Oconee County,
four miles from Townville, died suddenly
in Atlanta on Friday morning, the 25th
ult., after brief and painful illness of
dysentery. The deceased had been but a
few weeks in Atlanta, whittier he had
gone to take business course, and the
announcement of his sudden demise was
great shock to his many friends and
relatives in this community.
The public roads of this section arc not
in good condition. To say the least, the
eight-day feature Of the road law is q
failure. There are ridge roads that need
but little work-in fact the least amount
of dirt broken the better, and a law that
compels hands to kill time upon them
for eight days is purely nonsensical
Again in many places in the billy Sec
tions, through long neglect, the roads
have been washed out and channeled into
deep narrow ruts, so that the present
apportionment of hands could not make
first rate road in thirty days. Property
should keep up the public highways,
Rev. W. R. Parker seems to have lost
his charm, by virtue of which he has so
long been able to dominate the Ethiopian
will. The Townville colored church, of
which he had long been pastor, discarded
him last fall by engaging the services of
another preacher. Since that time he has
been silenced, suspended frorl the church
indefinitely, and at present be is held in
bond to answer two 'indlctments-one for
burglary, and the other for fraud. The
way of the transgressor is, indeed, hard
hard. YoX.
