For Adjutant General : J. GARY WATTS, of Laurens. r For Congress : W. J. TALBERT, of Edgefield. . For Solicitor: THE ELECTION. The election, is near at hand next Tuesday., the 3rd of Novem ber being the day^ fixed by law for j tho votes to be cast fer all offices in * the gift of the people of these Uni ted States from President down to | Coroner, not all equally important, to be sure, but all important. The notices of election both State"and Federal, which we pub lish this week, are full and give all information needed to managers, and a generous synopsis of the elec tion law so that neither managers or voters need err therein. So far as Edgefield county is concerned we know nothing but Democracy pure and simple, and all those candidates of this faith will be elected beyond peradven ture, but our opponents are wily and unscrupulous and we must see to it that all legal avenues of es cape from defeat are effectually closed and sealed to those who would thwart tbe will of the people expressed at the ballot box accord ing to law. The most important office to our ] people in thi3 election is probably that of Representative in the lower] house of Congress, and if there be any way possible to do so, Chat field, the Republican nominee from this district, will contest the election of Talbert,-a great deal depending of course on the com plexion of the next House. The grounds of such contest, if made, would probably be based upon al legations that many republicans made the effort to vote and were refused, and, if enough affidavits from such rejected applicants to vote should be produced, Chatfield might be seated or, at least, the election declared void. Thia was the programme adopted in the con tested election case of Johnson against Stokes in the last Con gress, with the result last indica ted. To head off such a scheme would it not be well for tho Man. agers of Election at every precinct in the couuty to keep a list of the names of all applicants who were not allowed to vote, with the reason for such rejection opposite each name? We have no idea that many unregistered voters will make the effort to vote, but, in the case of a contest, hosts of negroes will be brought up to swear that they did make the attempt, were refused, and that they would have voted for Chatfield. Now such a list as we hare advised, sworn to if necessa-' ry by the Managers, showing as it would, incontestably, that very few were refused the privilege of vo ting, would knock the stuffing out of Chatfield even in a Republican House. Fore-warned is fore-armed. Ex-Speaker Charles F. Cri3p died in Atlanta on Friday last. Since the death of Ben Hill Crisp has been the foremost mau in all the South. The argument of the South Car olina dispensary cases before the Supreme court of the United States bas been concluded. The court now "has the case," and we shall soon have the matter settled for good aud all, that is as to its constitutionality. No intimation has been given as to how the court will decide. Capt. Dunn gives us the good news that Kentucky Democrats will not touch the P&lmer-Buck ner-Assistaut-Rep-'blicau ticket, because they know them too well. After the war Gen. Palmer was in ?command of the Department of Kentucky and would not permit Ex-Confederate soldiers or sym pathisers with the lost cause co vote iu the elections or get near the polls. There was no law against their voting but Palmer had the power and disfranchised them of his own motion and meanness* Next Tuesday the Kentucky Dem ocrats will go to the polls and pay him back by giving the vote of the State to Bryan. Surviving Con ? federates who served under Buck ner during the war are almost in tears and sack cloth over the de sertion of their old commander. Barnwell People. The people of the United States, just now, are listening with seri ous, and even dangerous attention to tho summary of John A. Lo gan. "You may theorize aud argue until you are hoarse, yet you will fail to get the people to prefer low prices to high ones for their pro ducts. They know that one bushel of wheat at $1.25 in currency will buy one acre of government land, while it takes two and a half bush els at 50 cen ta to purchase it, though it be in gold. They know that $1 in paper of legal tender, will pay $1 of taxes as well as $1 in gold* They know well enough form ex perience that if you ruo down prices by lessening the currency there will no corresponding de *?~-"? _ist-rr ni -> r.

Butler was in Cleveland, the other day attend ing the exercises of Perry's Vic tory Day, a Cleveland man said to him : "I supposa you've buried all belligerent animosities, Senator?" "Yes," replied the General, "ten thousand fathoms deep. I don't even harbor resentment against Gregg's battery. The fact is, while I was planning to shoot off Gregg's head, he got a little the start of me by shooting off my foot. So the honors were easy-as far *as intention goes. No, sir; L'm a a Union mau now, in every fibre that is left to me." The Piedmont Sun says: "The following comes from sister town Pelzer : About seven years ago there was a fire in Pelzer in which a large quantity of cotton was burned or partly burned, and the old debris and burnt cotton was thiowu into a ditch and dirt placed on top of it to make a road-way. For seven years wagons have ran over this place until it has worn down to the burnt cotton placed there to fill up the ditch. Some one noticed smoke coming out of the ground aud upon examination it was discovered that the cid cotton was still burning. As there is no way for fire to get there it must have beeu buruiug ever since it was placed there sev en years ago." Summer Diarrhoea Cured. G. W. Clark, McGregor, Texas, says: ''Our little baby daughter has beeu cured of a violent case of simmer diarrhce from Teething, by the use of Dr. King's Royal Germetuer. She had been reduced nearly to a skeleton. The first dose of Germetuer helped her, and now is well and fat." We Offer Yon a Remedy Walch Insures SAFETY to LIFE of Both Mother and Child.

BRADFIELD BI0?LAT0B CO., Atlanta,Ga. 80LP ST ALL DRUGGISTS. r AN ANCIENT DOCUMENT. Do Any of Our Readers Recog nize It? OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GEN'L. j COLUMBIA, S. C., July 5,1870. j MY DEAR KIMPTON : Parker ar rived last evening and spoke of the G. and C. matter etc. I told him that I had just written you fully on that matter and also about the old Bk bills. Do you undeistand fully the plan of the G. and C. en terprise? It is proposed to buy $350,000 worth of the G. and C. stock. This with the $433,000 of stock held, by the Stato will give entire control to us. The Laurens branch will be sold in February by decree of court and will cost not more than $50,000 and proba bly not moro than $40,000. The Spartauburg and Union can also be got without difficulty. We shall then have in G. & C. 168 miles, in Laurens 31 and in S & W 70 miles -in all 269 miles-equipped and running-put a first mortgage of $20,000 a mile on this-sell the bonds at 85 or 90 and the balance, after paying all outlays for cost ?iud repain is immense, over $2, 000,000. There is & mint of money in this; cr I vin a fool. Then we will soon compel the S. R. R. to fall into our hands and complete the connection to Ashville, N. C, There is an indefinite range for expansion of power before us. Write me fully and tell me of any thing you want; d ?ne. My last let ter was very full. Harrison shall be attended to at once. I don't think Neagle will make any trou ble. Parker hates Neagle and mag nifies ^his intentions. Yours truly, D. H. CHAMBERLAIN. No, "Sir Hubert" is no fool. He knows a good thing when he sees it. The idea if the writer of the ibove letter presuming to address % Routh Carolinian on thc question ?f morality. It. is sickening in its hypocrisy and the News and Cou rier publishes this indirect reflec tion on gentlemen whom it knows to be pure and upright heads, it: 'Praise from Sir Hubert."
