Our best wishes attend him in his new home. - ?We were shown on Friday a very ^ fine sun-flower by Mr. R. M. Huey. It was <^rown by his father on his place near White Oak, and measured eighteen inches in diameter. It was ^ undoubtedly the iinest ever seen in ^ this section of the State. ?Several citizens went down to Columbia on Sunday to attend the j baseball tournament which began there I on Monday. Our club received an I invitation to attend, but owing to physical disabilities of several members k it was unable to accept the invitation. m -We are requested to announce that the ladies of the Presbyterian church will give another ice-cream fete at the residence of Jno. J. Neil, Esq., on Thursday evening, commencing at o and lasting till 9 o'clock. All who desire to spend a pleasant evening should by all means attend. ?A eolored woman was found on the street near Mr. l)oag?s on Sunday in quite a serious condition, by a member of our police force. She was suffering from heart disease, and seemed to be friendless and homeless. ^ She was kept by the Town Council until Mondav morning1 when arrange^ = => mcnts were made for conveying her to the poor house. Land Sales.?We learn that the quantity of land offered for sale will be unusually large this fall. Good opportunities will be offered to pnrI chase real estate at small values, and all who contemplate investing in this kind of securities will do well to read our advertising columns from this on for several months. Dixxer.? Wc arc requested tu announce that the Ladies' Aid Societv of i / J the Baptist church :it this place will 1 . serve dinner in the Thespian Hall on i Tuesday next, from one to three o'clock. The proceeds are to be ap1^^ Zmiied to the fund now being raised to T)uild a parsonage. The patronage of the public is respectfully solicited for this most worthy object. The Baptist Parsoxage.?Through ^ the energetic efforts of the Bev. J. v Howard Carpenter, pastor of the Bap^ tist church at this place, sufficient funds have been raised to commence the building ot a parsonage at this ^ ~ ^ ~ ~c tf piiiCC lor U1U HSU VI UiG J.i, !,r" will be situated on the lot just in rear L, of the Baptist church. Carpenters are rv, busy in preparing the lumber, and the work will be pushed forward rapidly until completed. Tiie Edgefield Chronicle.?The j Edgefield Chronicle has beeu purchased i by Messrs. Bacon & Durisoe, and is J now under the management of these j experienced gentlemen. The editorial conduct of the paper will be under Mr. James T. Bacon, whose name is familiar to all in South Carolina who remember the struggles of the good people against the oppression and outrage of the Radical party. His return to active journalism is an acquisition to the press of the State, and he will do his full part in making the Chronicle rank among the best and ablest papers Hi OOUUl V/iUV/iiiJu. The Citadel Academy.?As will be seen from an advertisement found in anolher column, there will be two beneficiary vacancies from Fairfield at the Citadel next year. As will be seen, the examination to fill these vacancies will be held in "Winnsboro on the 14th of September. Applications for information and forms on which to apply for permission to appear before the examining board must be made to Gen. Johnson Iiagood on or before the 4tii of September. This is a good opportunity for two young men to secure a good education at a small cost, and we feci sure the opportunity will be appreciated. Toracco Culture.?Mr. Calvin Brice, of Woodward, has about three and a half acres planted in tobacco. He was selected by the Agricultural Department to conduct the experiinenf.?vm ill flliv OAllTlh'. ThO plant is in a very flourishing condition, the stalks being all the way from one to five feet high, covered with long, green leaves. Mr. Bricc thinks it requires more care and attention than cotton. It has to be wormed morning and evening. Nevertheless, the luxuriant condition of the growth clearly proves that our soil is adapted to its cultivation. Whether the experiment will prove a financial success remains to be seen, and the resnlt will be awaited with interest by our farmers. Neav Street.?At a recent meeting of the Mount Zion Society it was determined to stop travel across the property of the Society known as the "College Green." But as some of our citizens have to cross the green to reach their residences, it was determined to oncn uo a street across it. With this in view, they gave to the Council fifty feet of ground, commencing from the fence which surrounds the residence of Mr. Beatv. The street will begin at Zion street at the corner of Mr. Beaty's residence and run directly east. As this ground consists mainly of ditches some work will have to be done upon it before it can attain the dignity of a street. It is the intention of the Society to fence this 5rccn at some future day. Campaign* at Eidgeway.?A large number of voters of Itidgewav and Long Town assembled at Ridgeway nn Safnrflav. to hear the different can | didates express their views upon the I various political questions of the day. j An effort was made to limit the can| didates to a certain time, but the i people seemed to thrist for political Kno^a?^&?2i\? andiuate unlimited time to ventilate his views. The President Major, C.E. Thomas, introduced each candidate and from the very nature of the case none of them said anything materially different from what was said at the oSer meetings, hence a report of their addresses would not be necessary as they have already been published. Suffice it to say that each one acquitted himself creditably and the usual good will and humor prevailed. Contrary to general custom and expectation of the various candidates and "camp followers" there was no picnic, but Mr. Cornelius Means had prepared a little barbecue near the stand and dispensed an excellent dinner for twenty-five cents. The meeting upon the whole was a most pleasant one. Most of the candidates remained in Itidgeway or vicinity in order to be on hand at the meeting at Blythewood on Monday. Democratic Clud Meeting.?xne Young Men's Democratic club, according to appointment, held a meeting in the Court House on Thursday evening. The first business which came up for consideration was the ratification of the amendments proposed to the constitution of the party at the last county convention. All of the amendments were ratified. Mr. C. A. Douglass tendered his resignation as a member of the county Executive Committee, and Mr. G. W. Ragsdale was elected to fill the vacancy. An election for managers of the primary was held, and resulted in the selection of Messrs. J. W. Hanahan and II. B. McMaster. After some discussion relative to the entertainment of the candidates 011 the day of the meeting at this place, a committee of five- was appointed to confer with a similar committee from the other club in town as to what arrangements should be made. On motion, a committee consisting of the Rev. J. Howard Carpenter and Messrs. G. \\r. Ilagsdale and W. J. Elliott was appointed to draft suitable resolutions on the death of Dr. E. "VV. Aiken, a tnpmhpr nf fhfi fihib. There bellio- no other business the club adjourned to meet at the call of the president. Jacksox Creek Farmer's Club.? The Farmers' Club of Jackson Creek met on Friday at the School House, near tho Presbyterian parsonage. The Club was called to order by the President, Mr. Harvey, -who introduced the essayist of the meeting, Mr. J. M. Galloway, of "White Oak. Mr. Gallo wan react an excellent essay, snowing the great advances that had been made in agriculture ,in modern times. He spoke of the aversion of most voting men of education to agricultural pursuits. He thought farmers made their life too much a life of drudgery. More attention should be devoted to mental improvement. Farming could be made the happiest occupation in life. We need more educated farmers. Mr. Galloway spoke of various other matters pertaining to the farm?such as fertilizers, machinery, etc. His essay was an excellent one and was well received. Mr. Jas. B. Turner next favored the audience with an essay touching upon the various topics that are most inter\ esting to agriculturists. His essay was a most interesting one, corninsr from one who has made farming a ! success. Flic Club then adjourned and tackled an excellent dinner in the grove. It was one of the nicest, quietest little picnics imaginable. The Democratic Citib met immediately after dinner and appointed managers for the coining primary election. They also appointed a com- j inittee to confer with Winnsboro in i reference to the corning meeting at | this place. A small proportion of the ; ever-ready candidates being present,! they were ca'.icd upon, made short j addresses r*nu the Club then adjourned, j Base B.u.i.. ?As was previously an- j nounocd the game of base ball between | the Wiunsboro and Chester clubs took ; place on the College green on Tuesday evening. A large crowd assembled to witness the game and give our boys courage- Promptly at four and onehalf o'clock the game was called with the "Boro" boys at the bat, and the Chester men in the field. The "Winnsboro club was retired without placing a single run to their credit, and tins Chester men took the bat. They were retired in one, two three order, bv the Wiunsboro battery. In the second inning the Chesters succeeded i:i making one run, which was all they were abie to chalk up during the game. The Winnsboro club went to the bai for their second inning and scred one run. The game then became quite interesting. But it was soon seen that i the Chester men could not bat the de- j livery of Fctncr, and the Boro boys i had it all their own way. The playing of the Fetner brothers, of Columbia, with the "Wiunsboro club was superb, and was doubtless the best playing ever done on the green. \^e would be unjust to the battery oft lie Chester nine, Messrs. Roddy and Irby, of Roclc JLill, if we failed to say thattheir work wis AvfivMnelv fine. The following gentlemen composed the two clubs: j Chester? Eiiich, Frew, lloddv, Irby, ; Massey, Curry, Melton, Murphy, j Dunovant. Winnsboro?Willi ford, Fetner, ?T., Matthews, Elliott, Rabb, Fetncr, F., Crawford, Gaillard, "Worthy. The score stood as follows: Chester 1: Winnsboro 9. '* The game was highly appreciated by the audience, and was perhaps the j best ever ssen in Winnsboro, W L. j McDonald, F.sq., umpired, and as far j as we are able to learn, his decisions ; were perfectly satisfactory to both ; clubs. We hope our boys will be able ! to meet with the Chester men again, ; when each club will have its own j i batterv. ; Appointments of Public Meetings. At Dr. Ira T.

Ragsdale moved that the j following be added to Paragraph 11: In case any ballot shall contain more | names, not erased, for any particular office than the number of officers to be elected, such ballot shall not be counted for such particular office. The amendment was adopted. Mr. D. G. Ruff offered the following as a further amendment to Paragraph 11: The managers at each poll, or one of them, shall notify each voter that no ballot will be counted, unless iu ibe form prescribed by the County Executive Committee.

Under the call for members there were several new members enrolled. 2tlr. J. H. Neil was elected a member of the County Executive Committee vice S. B. Johnston, resigned.

The following members were chosen managers of election: W. L. Timmons j by the Club; J. H. Neil by the Presi- ! dent: and J. O. Nichols by the County j Committee. The President then an-1 nounced the following committee on | arrangements, and on reception of the j canvassers: S. R. Johnston, J. J. Mc- j Dowel 1, J. A. Gibson and C.

Vdttnrsi I am trillv thank- j fill to my kind friends for their good intentions in nominating me for the office of School Commissioner; but I must beg them to allow me to decline, us, under the circumstances, I cannot be a candidate at present. Jas. Douglas. Blacksfock, August 18, 1S8G. Mr. Goodlettc not a Candidate. Messrs. Editors: Before the primary comes oft', I should perhaps state (hat I nominated Mr. Goodlette "for County Commissioner in the way I did for fnn, with his knowledge and consent. I make this explanation for the reason that reports show that our joke has been taken in earnest by some, and if not corrected my friend may "be elected and forced to serve. democrat. [advertisement. ] BETTER LATE THAXNEVER. In a public specch at Feasterville on tie 17th August Mr. S. K. Kutlaud, a candidate for the Legislature, is credited with saving that "he had beeu sent to join the Union League by the then County Chairman of the Democratic party to act as a spy," etc. This was equivalent to calling my name, in my known absence, and in a remote portion of the county. The public can feel but little interest in the private aiioitpIs iif Mr. Rutland and myself, and yet the material matter of veracityis at issue between us. In order that the maf.ter may not be garbled by any prearranged plan as was done at Feasterville, and that Mr. Rutland may not exact remuneration for a service for which he has already been paid twice, once by me from the meagre funds contributed for campaign purposes and taxed out of the povorty-stricken and Radical-ridden patriots of this county when all were willing to do and dare, without money and without price, and again by being sent to the Legislature at the last election, as a recognition of this identical service, upon the presumption that he had rendered patriotic service, I propose now to give my version. Not many days before this speech I was called on by Mr. Rutland, in company with a party of his friends who, L am now informed, were brought along as witnesses of the i'etractionjliA&b<fcas ^ ^e also to overawe me by their presence and numbers. In reply to Mr- Rutland's question, I stated that k-? had said that he was a member of fhe Union League in full fellowship and good standing prior to the arrangement with me." "That there were rumors (since confirmed) that he had accepted fees of larger portion from the Radical party, contrary to my most earnest protest to his doing so." I am sorry to say that nothing has turned up since calculated to mitigate mv opinions or modify my statements as made to Mr. Rutland in person. It vould have been manly a!nd carried quite an air of dash had Mr. Rutland notified me to be present at my arraignment. It would have been fairminded if not graceful had he intimated to his audiences that the "Grand Old County Chairman" (I quote from his speeches in the last campaign) held u slightly different' version. In this event I should not have opened my mouth through the press, but would have abided any disposition of the matter at issue between us which the public saw fit to make. In conclusion, let me say to Mr. Rutland and all others that threats of "buckshot," "dynamite bombs," mobbings" and "retractions at the mouth of the pistol," rumors of which are industriously circulated by his followers, have not terrified me as yet. T. \V. "Woodward. ? ? ITEMS JFi?OJTSTROTHEJt. Messrs. Editors: In the absence of your regular correspondent, a few words from your humble servant may not be mal-a-propos. It is almost impossible to realize that four weeks ago the whole face of the earth was flooded with water. The burning August suns have caused the farmers to fear a drought (which is iu fact upon us) which would preclude the possibility of even half a crop of cotton. As you know, the freshets ol May and June swept away the corn on the rivers and creeks, and the outlook is gloomy enough. A cyclone in '84, a drought in '85, repeated freshets, followed by a drought in '86, would seem sufficient to discourage the most stout-hearted. Candidates are the order of the day. Each one seems confident of success, and a great many will have to be disappointed. At least we have had the pleasure of entertaining some genial gentlemen who would otherwise have remained unknown to us. On the 31st July all that was mortal of Mr. Robert Hutchinson was consigned to "mother earth." He was a member of Sixth Regiment. S. C. V.r and served the "Lost Cause" gallantly and well?bearing to his grave scars of wounds received in its defence. The annual meeting at Salem is in progress, and much interest is manifested. Yesterday, the congregation far exceeded the limits of the church. A gloom has been ciuit over our neighborhood by the death of Dr E. W. Aiken, lie was well known here, and universally respected and beloved. The family have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire communityIf sympathy could bring: consolation, t it would be showered upon those grietf stricken parents, sisters and brother. Only God can bind up the broken heart. May His countenance ever shine upon them all, and may the dear departed rest in peace, "Yonder comes the glorious King of Day, rejoicing in the east." "With us the duties of the day begin with the first sweet dawn of the light, and we have already trespassed upon that time. There is a great deal of sickness, especially among poor little innocent babies. More anon. c. a. s. Strother, August 16. THE COTJXTX CANVASS. The Meetings at Feasterville, White Oak and Bcthesda Church. Messrs. Editors: Having nau me pleasure of accompanying the candidates to three points on their tour around the county, I thought it would [ be interesting to give a brief descrip; tion of the meetings and of the plat| form of those offering for seats in the j lower house of the Legislature. I The Feasterville Club turned out in j fall nnmbers at Walling's Store. A I letter was read from the Rev. James ! Douglass, statiug that he had not ; authorized his name to be placed be1 fore the people as a candidate for School Commissioner. The speakers were introduced by President Walling, the Representatives leading off. Excellent music was rendered by the Crosbyville Cornet Band. At White Oak, on the following day, the White Oak and the Woodward j Club assembled about 11 o'clock, and ; while there was no music to inspire the speakers, yet this feature was perhans more than compensated for by the presence of the ladies. After the speakers were done, having been introduced by Mr. Johnston, president of the White Oak Club, an elegant dinner was fully enjoyed. At Bethesda, on the day after this, the Oakland and the Gladden's Grove Club met. On account of the inclemency of the weather not as many ladies were present, but what few wej'e did not neglect their baskets, and a dinner of delicious things followed the speakers. Mr. W. S. Hall introduced the speakers at this place. At the last two meetings the several candidates in a zealous and pathetic manner pleaded for the influence and sympathy of the ladies. Xow for the position of the Representatives on the main issues of the campaign. Mr. Hogau favored the completion of the State House and the continuance of the Columbia Canal with the strictest economy, and a decrease in the salary of some of the State officials. Dr. McKinstry thought that we had passed the era when the services of soldiers were needed, and therefore favored the abolition of the Citadel Academy. However, if it could be supported without the appropriation, and could be sustained as a pay insti nHnn if-, mio-ht continue. Further more, the military feature could be *o^fc|^^the South Carolina College. Ho also ^PRmgO^f^iteatablisbmenc of an Agricultural CTx.'-U'1 female college, provided, it coum uk*1 done with a reasonable appropriation. Mr. Buchanan advocated free tuition in the South Carolina College and the continuance of the Citadel, but if this.did not meet with the approval of the people, the most expedient method of solving these problems would be to have a constitutional convention and make the State Constitution more explicit on these and many other-.vexatious and disputed issues, and with a beautiful tribute to the good accomplished by woman, added that he thought it a just recompense for her services to give her a college. He also advocated biennial sessions of the Legislature. Mr. Rutland invited the audiences I to take a retrospect over his record in j the last General Assembly, and- ascerj tain for themselves whether he had striven for the good of the county and State. He mentioned the prominent part he and his colleagues had taken in establishing the Priority Act and the present trial justice system. Mr. Brice and Mr. Douglass, like Mr. Rutland, invited the people to investigate their past record, laying special stress on the advantages gained by the present trial justice system; and Mr. Douglass pledged that he would use all his efforts to make the valuation of property more uniform, if he should be re-elected. Both Mr. at,. T)nncrlass favored the auu ?ui< ^ w ?? proposed fanners' college, provided it could be established with economy. All of the speakers mentioned, except Mr. Buchanan, favored making a compromise in regard to free tuition at the State University, and the continuance of the Citadel Academy. They proposed that those who are able be required to pay, exempt those who are not, and abolish the beneficiaryfeature of the Citadel, and withdraw j the appropriation, but continue it as a J pay institution. The candidates for School Commissioner, Messrs. Boyd and Johnston, demonstrated the importance of education, and each pledged himself to promote the educational interests of the county if elecfod. After the Commissioners had finished, the mree candidates for Probate Judge assured the audiences that they would fill the office satisfactorily, if entrusted to them. Then came the County Commissioners, who are too numerous to give j their names. They all exerted them. ?nlict tlip svmnathv of the OWVCO IV ViiUwrv 1 y people, and utilized the ten minutes allotted tc them in beseeching their suffrages. visitor. Interesting .Experiences. .Hiram Cameron, Furniture Dealer of Columbus, Ga., tells Ms experience, thus: "For three years have tried every remedy on the market for Stomach and Kidney Disorders, but got no relief until I used Electric Bitters." Took five bottles and am now cured, and think Electric Bitters the Best Blood Purifier in the world." Major A. B. Beed, of West Liberty, Kv., used Electrie Bitters for au old standing Kidney affction and says: "Nothing has ever done me so much good a$ Electric Bitters." j Sold at fifty cents a bottle by McMaster, : Brice & Ketchin. * A Captain's Fortunate Discovery. Capt. Coleman, schr. Weymovth, plying ; between Atlantic City and New York, had ? been troubled with a'eough so that he was 5 unable to sleep, and was induced to try ! Dr. King's New Discovery for ConsumpS tion. It not only gave him instant relief, i but allayed the extreme soreness in his j breast. His children were similarly afI fected and a single dose had ttie same i happy effect Dr. King's New jjiscovery i is now the standard remedy in the Coleji man household and on board the schooner. .
