The present number of Tnu NEws AND HlERALD is sent to all- the old suslcribers of the 2ri- eekly Ne'ws and the FPairfield IHerald. From this can be formed somo es tiiate of the character of the news paper we purpose to p)ublish tholugh we shall miake considerablo aditions and improvenents. We trust that each old subscriber will prouiptly place his namo upon the list of Tim NEWS AND IiHAaD. Tho cash system we have adopted, while it is simply ncctessary for the sne cessful management of our business, will work neither hardship nor in convenience to the subscribers. It is quite as easy to pay the small sum charged for a single copy of the paper now, in payment for the cominig year's subscription, as to pay the same stmn one year hence for the year then past. This is the universal practice of every successful newspaper in the country. Nor is there over any objection made to it. Thousands of persons in South Carolina subscribe to papors out side of the State, and they un hesitatingly pay the subscription money in advance This should likewise be done with the county paper. We would also call attention to our club rates. It will be little or no trouble for a person to raise among his immediate neighbors a club of ten or of twenty subscribers. In the former erase there is an ag grogate saving of four dollars and in the latter of ten-besides giving the club- maker a copy free. We trust that the liberal terms ofoered will induce many to 'make up clubs Any in form ati on desired, together with specimen copies of THE~ NEWs AND HIERALD, may be had upon application to the Publishers. We append our rates of subscrips One copy, one year.. . ..... 83.00 One copy, six months. .. .. .1.60 Ouec copy, three months.... 1.00 Five copies, one year, at. . . 2.75 Teni copies, one year, at. .. 2.60 T 'wenty copies. one year, at. . 2.50 The namies constituting a club need not all be at the same post office. The Radical County Convention. The County Convention of the Radicals met on Monday, and ro mained in session two entire days. Th body was about as noisy as ever, aind at times the uproar was so great that no business whatever couldl proceed. It was five~ o'clock before a permanen toirgani zation was effect ed. Prince Martin was madoe chair man, and WV. R1. Marshall secretary. It was seven o'clock before a single nomination was made. )uring a recess, a joint discussion bet woon Dem ocrats and Reul icans was propoucd, and1( Majoir Woodward made a telling sp)eech. lie was attentively heard by almost tihe onl tire audience. Andy Stewart, a Radical negro leader, attempted some interruption, .but the Major sooni aquelched himl. It had been arranged that there should be0 a re ply from I. B. Smith, but the hour of business arrived and the body went to work. The following nominations were made: For Senator--Israel Byrd, colored. For Reopresentatives--.Joh1n Gib son, colored, S. S. Gibson, white, Prince Martin, colored. For Clerk of Court---Jno. J. Neil. For School Commissioner-John Russel, colored. For Probate Judge--I. B. Smith, colored. The Convention now adjourned till Tuesdag morning, and in the me antime considerable dissatisefac lion was shown in the ticket. Soveral of the better class of Republicans Niessrs. Crawford, Nelson, Martin mud Harvey refused to accept a plae an suob a ticket, and there was a very general complaint'. ' So when' the Conventiot re-aAsoibled, it was f6ud necodsaiy toxundo all tho pro vious work. A' now organization eiditiro wag effected, and A new com mittee on credentials tpp'ointed. John Gibson was chosen "permanent chairman, and C. W. Cummings secretary. After a groat doal of wrangling noise and confussion, a revised and inproved (?) ticket was gotten up. And here it is : For Scnator-Warren R. Mar shall, white. For Reprenttives-John Gib son, Daniel iird and Prince Mar till, ill colore'd. For Clerk of Comnt-Jno. J. Neil. For J -Ago of Probato-. B. Smith, colored. For School Commissionr-John Russel, colored. For County Commisioners-John Wilson, white, Carter Boaty and Jim June, colored. This is a fine reform ticket! Ridgeway Items. Jno. Wilson (vulgarly termed No-Nose Wilson) and Alf. Smith, colored, had a high wordy duel on Friday lIast Tho.<o worthics were whippors-in for several of the 999 candilidates in the fiel previosi to the Ralical County Convention. Thoir trouble was the result of a ccnflict of intci ests, illustrating the proverb, "Two of a trade ean't agro." The Hampton Bille Club and the Disio Sabre Club attended the Co mden Democratic meeting. The citizens of Ridgeway aro much enconraged. I The colored people are favorably impressed with the fair, open speechos made at the recont Democratic meeting, and twelve of them have actually signed the roll of the Democratic Club. A large number have faithfully promised their white friends to walk boldly up and vote with them on the 7th of Novewber. The colored ifeople composing the lft wing of the iadical army, cani in on "critters" on Saturday last. They were counted and numbered actually reventy. They cheeoed loudly for Mr. Marshall, ald, aftor remaining in session some time, went to his house an1d escortcd hili to the meeting-place, wheo e he deliver ed an address. He did not get a nomination. The procession wont round and round, "up the hill and down again," but failed most utterly to get up any degree of enthusiasm. in fact, manny of the members, after all was over, signitied their willing ness to heaur argufmenlt! Every thing encourages the hope that truth will soon prevail. A strong case of political per eccution took p)laco a few days age. Cornelius Minmms, colored, express ed his intention oin last Saturday to dra out of political slavery, and be a free man. On Sunday he was publicly expelled from thme colored Presbyuterian church. Cornelius is about the only ma~n in the church who really has any religious pr inciples, and he has long enjoyed tbe corfi dkee of the whito people. The Democracy will take good care of all suchm deserving men. Meeting at Ridgeway. Thursday, the 5th of Octobor, w*as a great day for Ridgeway and for Fairfield. The p)ublic meeting hlcd there will long he remiembered as one of the most enthusiastic gather ings ever known in the county. By nine o'clock the Democratic Clubs that were to participate, began to arrive-most of thorm, oif core being mouun tod. Everythming promi - sodl a fine meeting. The p~eople of Ridgeway had (levotedl both time and n'onmey to Imakinig it a success, and they have no roasoni to feel at all disappointed. 'Thle busineas of thme town wvas practicatlly suspended, and tho place had tihe appearance whuich is always presented on a general hloliday. Theore wore several 1hu1n dred men~l ill town by the time the northern bound train arrived. Ini the car was Col. John H-. Evins, ourm next Congressman, and tihe opportu nity was taken by the Clubs pies. ent to have a speech from that gentleman. Standing uponl the platform of the freight-depot, lhe addcressed a crowd in front of him. His specech was full of force anld full of good cheer for' the Democracy of the county and the State. He was frequently interrupted with loud applause, and as lie stepped into the moving car, the air rang with three cheers for Ev'ins. The procession was Boon formed, under the command of Col. B3. E. Elkin, as chief marshal, in the fol lowing o rder : Speakers in Carriages. Brass Band. Hampton Riftes. Ridgeway )omocrtic Club. Dixie Demooratic Club. Green Brior Cl). Rion's Sabre Club. Jones' Longtown Club. Nelson's Club. Stack's Club. Boykin's Club. Boar Creek Club. Citizens. The ground pelocted for the stpeaking is remarkable in its natural beauty and in its adapf;t.bility for the purpose for which it ha more than once beeii utted. A natural iuplithelatre, formed by a gradual ascotit u1pon all 01 sides from its celitre, well shaded with hipidsoei trees whose foliage is as abuin.lant as it is verdant, this spot has all the fen tures needed to namko.it suitable for publie gatherings. Nor is it with out historic interest. Here have bten held tlireo public meetings at intervals of just eight yearis. Late in the year 1860, thopeaple assem bled to discurs the great questions which were then atgitatilig the pop ular mind, aid the olitioni of which was then tle topic of ill thinking men. Again, in 1868, a )ulic meeting was held on the same pout, and idressos were (dl iver 'by distinguished Carolinians in behalf of the Democratic cause, then repuo sented in Ih persons of Seymour and Blair. Now, in this Centennial year, aftrii the lapse of eight years morO we find the same spot used1 as5 a meceting-pla(e of the good pe'. pl of Fiairlield intent upon a high plrpose, and filled with enthusii.sm in the cause they 1:n-w to be jast. On the present occasion, there wa erected a stand for speakers. so situated as to make it convenient for lhe audience to htve pl:Icos near )y, and yet have no crowding or confusion. The stand Iwas vcry tastefully decorafed with flowers r-nd evergreens-these fmming an at bor, acrtss which vas written the single word-HAMIVTON. The coluni of mounted men1 moved up, and soon the tspace around the stand svas well filled. After a short interval there arrived a large Club from Caiden, uder cOm.l.nd of Capt. W. L. Depass. After miic hy the band, the illeet ing wasi called to order by Col. i1. C. Davis, who statel tile purpose of the meeting, weleolwed the entire assem~bage, and added thme colored people esp)cially t'o occupy lace'i very near thle stand, that they might hear nil that was said. He then introdneed as the first speaker of the day. cOL. LEROY F. YOUJMA.\. The spe-iker opened by says ing lhe was present in the discharge of what he considered a high duty.
