the State on the ticket at the head of!
which stands the nauie of the very!
man that he boldly avowed could be1
oonvieted of larceny, and whose nomination
would plant a dagger in the
lieart of Republicanism within our
borders. What an acknowledgement
of weakuess and disintegration ! What
an evidence of unmanly concession on
the part of Chamberlain's supporters
and dishonorable cringing on the part
of the candidate himself! The very
piau that covered him with villification
and heaped infamous charges upon
his devoted head is forsooth honored
fur those charges with a high distinction
which, just to the extent that
Elliott is honored by It, 1b d^weditable
to C'hamberlaiti. To what can be as
pribed this backing down of our
"plucky Governor," who "is as brave
as Julius Ctesarand as ambitious as
Jfapoleon ?" Is it not the_ result of
the arrangement that waseOeeteil Uetwecn
Patterson and himself when the
jailer visited Washington City for the
purpose of obtaining troops with
which our cruelly wronged State
should he dragooned ? Why, look at
the horrible political blunder of these
relentless carpet-bag couspirators. Not
a native white man can Ik; found upon
the ticket, and when the antecedents ?
of the colored nominees are recalled,
it will be observed that they, t >o, are
Carpet-baggers, with perhaps <m J exception.

Messrs. Patterson and Chamberlain?
Can they expect with honest arguments
to convince the colored masse*

to indulge in the "five years

The Republican State Convention mot!
to-day at 10 A. M., and proceeded at1
anubtu the work of completing the J
ticket. .
X. 1^ Myers, of Beaufort, and Juno
Moblec of Union, were nominated:
for secretary of State. At this point a j
committee appeared escorting Chamberlain
and Gleaves; Charpberlain J
jmd Elliot walking arm-in-arm. I
ilioth ascended the speaker's stand, j
and both spoke briefly, accepting the j
nominations. I
Chamberlain said he accepted the'
nomination onlv as an endorsement'
by the people of bis efforts for reform
during the past two years. He claimed
that material reform had been really
effected ; taxes had been reduced, a;
higher tone among public officials established,
the judicial bench had been !
saved from pollution, public expenses]
have been diminished, official responsibility
had been established. It now
remains for us, he said, to go forward
devoted to the idea that reform is the
only purpose of any political party in
South Carolina, if, said he, your
nomination is an endorsement of my
administration, as 1 understand it to
be, then you are bound to see to it that
the ticket shall be in harmony with
such reform. If it is not, if I am not
surrounded by such men, it will bo a
difficult question for me to determine
whether it will be worth while for me
to undortake to carry out the campaign.
Put none but honest and competent
Republicans upou the ticket,
men that will do honor to you. He
bc-gged that, in accordance with these
suggestions, they would see to it also J
Hv.i'.hp wiw not hanmered hereafter
by a legislature not in sympathy with
him, ami which would oppose liiui
like the lust. He wanted to shake ofi*
ull the public abuses which now endanger
the success of the party. ]\To
campaign, he said, can compare with I
thig in bitterness, and we must make
the fight, he said, <ui principle and not
for power. lie proposed to advocate
reform wherever the people ask him
to address them, with such protection
as the State and the United states can
give him, in the cause of Republican
reform, Not only our liberties, he
said, but those of the people of the
.State are wrapped up in this campaign.
I fear, he continued, 1 am a timid
man ; hut every drop of blood I have
shall bo given before the principles of
the Republican party shall be dishonored
or its great record soiled. As a
comment upon the remarks made
above, in reference to the State ticket,
it is worthy of note that Mr. Chamberlain
refused to vote for one of the uomi
nees, Hayne or Elliot, (I forgot which,)
and that he voted against Dunn. i
Cleaves followed in u speech which Ii
contaiued nothing worthy of special
notice, ' 1
At the close of the speeohes business I
was resumed, and Jfayne was alsof
nominated for secretary of State.
liowen seconded him. Mobley attack- '
ed Hayne in a long speech, in which I
he denounced him one of the most '
noted corruptions in the party. At '
jne point of his speech. Hayne, who i
sat near him, called him a liar, and 1
ijuito an excitement ensued, but it '
blew over. Mobley withdrew his <
name from the contest. The vole re- <
suited, Hayne 93, Myers 2-jV
For Comptroller-general J. S. Fille- '
baown and T. C. Dunn were nomina- 1
ted. Hirsh attacked Dunn in another j
bitur speech, charging him with hav
?;j -n........ !
nijr cuuspiri-u in uu-iuuv'? vimuwcw, |
and bringing lip other charges. Elli-j
i>t replied, and ihe vote stood; Dunn :1
94, Fillcbrowu 20. !
For treasurer, C'ardozo was nomina
ted by Chamberlain, who spoke warm-!
ly in his behalf. Iieubin Tomliuson
and Harry Noah were also nominated.
Earle afterwards withdrew Tomlinsou
in Cardozo's behalf. The vote was
C'ardozo 109*, Tomlinson, 4: Noah, J.
For attorney general, Earle declined
to run as he saw no chance for him, 1
and Patterson nominated Elliot amidst 1
great cheering. A?. attempt was mane
to nominate him by acclamation, but
the rules were insisted upon, and lie
received 115 votes and Corbiu 10.
For superintendent of education,
Jillison and Shrewsbury were nominated,
but it was late, and it wasapparent
that a serious fight would be made
on the part of the up country, it was
decided to postpone further action until
to-morrow, and the Convention adjourned.
S. J. Lee was to-day nominated for 1
solicitor of the First Circuit, and E. M.
Braytou for the Fifth.
It is thought a new candidate, J. E.
Bryant, of Spartanburg, will receive
the nomination tor superintendent of I
education. It is also very nearly certain
that Heading Clerk J. O. Marshall,
of Fairfield, will receive the
nomination foradjutaut-general. The
candidates for this office are Marshall,
C. D. Hay lie, of Aiken, and J.
I). ivcnneuy,(H w>iuinoia.
The up-country delegates are ]ou<l
to-night in their complaints of the
way Earle was treated. His defeat
makes a white superintendtnt and
adjutant absolutely necessary for harmony
in J he party.
The Charleston delegates assure me
lhatli. li. Cain will secure the long
term for congress, and that ('. \Y.
Luttz will he nominated for thesolicitorshipfor
the First Circuit.
The great torchlight procession
which .should have come oil' lo-night,
and to allow which the Convention
held no night session, was prevented
by a heavy rain. The town is
now disturbed by wet negroes mouti-j
ted on mules, who ride in every direction
shouting th.omselvt'H hoarse. The
majority have already gone homo in j
disgust.
The State ticket thus far nominated
is as follows:
For Coventor. D. II. Chamberlain, i

Grand Demonstration.
Splendid Enttiuiasm.
The Old Fort Resounds to the Shouts

Sires.
Cooke, McGowan, Cothran, Aikuu
and Maxwell Speak.
Just as we were going to press our
reporter arrived from the town of
Ninety-Six, where an enthusiastic
crowd assembled yesterday to hear the
standard j,bearers of Democracy. To
tiieir great disappointment General
Hampton was not preseut, but there
were worthy canvassers there who nobly
upheld the banner of Reform.
About one thousand persons were
present, many colored men among
them, who appeared deeply interested
in all that was said.
Judge Cooke spoke first. He led off
with a statement of his position in the
canvass, and liis reasons for renouncing
the Republican party in this State.
His denunciations of Radical rascality
were tremendous, coming as they
did from one who spoko whereof he
knew. His points were well made and
to judge from the loud applause they
elicited, were evidently appreciated.
The colored people presont appeared
to be convinced by tbe Judge's appeals,
and determined on the spot to
organize a Democratic club. I^ct the
ball roll on!
Among the notes at the meeting
were these:
<'fto North, Carpet-baggers."
Home, Sweet Home.
"Go to hell, Scalawags,"
There is no place like Home.
These constituted the text of Judge
Cook's eloquent remarks, and served
as beacons to guide his thoughts.
The Boanergesof Abbeville. General
iMcGowan next held the attention
of the audience in one of his characteristic
appeals, abounding in wit, humor,
sound and convincing argument
iuid fervent appeals. It is needless to
uttempt anj' analysis of his effort; we
will only add that it was up to the
General's usual high standard.
"The wheel horse of the Abbeville
Democracy," Colonel Colli run, came
gracefully to the front and delighted
the audience with his salient thrust at
the already undermined and welluigh
toppling citadel of Kadical Government
in South Carolina. The Colonel's
speeches are always pithy and
pointed, but on this occasion his effort
wjis peculiarly so. He was followed
by our "successful agriculturo-politi
;al candidate for Congress, Colonel D.
Wyatt Aiken, who in the expressive,
if not classic language of oue of the
transparencies used hero on Friday
night last, turns Hog(e) into Bacon.
The Colonel always ready and forcible,
kept the crowd in excellent humor
and made some hits which showed
how fully posted he was on the issues
of the day. His remarks tcrthe
colored people were very strong and
ought to convince them.
When our reporter left, Dr. Maxwell
was speaking, our candidate for
State Senator. We have no doubt
that he acquitted himself bravely.
The ladies were out in force ana add
ed greatly to the pleasure and interest
of tiie oeccasion. Everything passed
uff quietly, and the visitors were hospitably
entertained by the kind citizens
of the place.
Abbeville Silver Cornet Band furnished
spendid music on the occasion.
On Monday many persons visited
the classic ground where now stand
the remains of the Revolutionary fortress
of Ninety-Six. Standing upon
the historic soil, the memories of '7(j
surged over the crowd and created an
enthusiasm which could not be suppressed.
In response to numerous
wills, Gen. McCowan and Judge Cooke
made pithy speeches.
To show how our people are aroused
it is only necessary to say here that
this large and enthusiastic meeting
was the result of only two days notice.
"When the day of election comes
on, Ninety-Six will bo "found at the
fore" as usual, and will roll up her
majority for "Hampton and Home
Rule." General McGowan, with
Colonels Cothran and Aiken left for
Honea Path where a grand rally of
the Democracy takes place to-day.
Abbeville is "horse-high, pig-tight
and bull-strong" on the election and
moreover the hearts of all her people
are united and "beat as one."
.Heeling of the Lebanon Labor Re
form Association.
Editor Press and Banner:
Below, for the consideration of other
clubs, I hand you minutes of the
proceedings of the Lebanon # Labor
Reform Association on last Saturday.
Cotton baggiug has been a grievous
sin in this community and has done
us as much injury financially as the
carpet-baggers, and as we hope in
November to clean out the foreign
scum politic, we invoke the aid of all
good men in condemning thtir domestic
fungi:
A meeting of Lebanon Labor Reform
Association was held at Thos.
Mann's well on Saturday, September
Ulh, inst. l)r. J. W. Thomas, President,
took the chair, and called the
meeting to order.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read and confirmed. The following
resolution which was introduced
at the last medting but laid over for
the action of the club at its next meeting
was unanimously adopted.
Jicxolvt d, Thnt It is the serine of this Association
that no person in this community be
allowed to trude or trutllc In seed cotton or
ot.her t'urin produce under any circumstances
whatsoever.
In order the more efTectuallly to carry
out the intent of the above resolution,
the Executive Committee sub
milted and recommended the following
as a supplemental resolution :
Itexolved, That themembersof this Association
consider themselves a vigilance Committee
to watch the handling of cotton and
other l'arm produce and report to this club
every case where they suspect dishonesty,
that we may deal with it as it deserves, and
we pledge ourselves to sustain one another
and invoke the co-operation of all honest
citizens to aid us in putting it down.
Captain L. J. Johnson and others
supported the resolution in pointed
and eurnest speeches, referring to the
manner in which this community
has suffered for many years by the
illicit traffic in seed cotton and other
farm produce. Heavy blows were
dealt the cross road merchant vampires,
who have for years with impunity,
at the expense of their neighbore,
regardless of the wrongs they
are committing and the sufferings they
are causing an already impoverished
people, taking in seed cotton and all
other fann produce from irresponsible
and thieving negroes, either at night
or in open daylight. The resolution
was unanimously passed.
On motion, the Secretary was direct
ed to request the Editor of the Frets
and Banner to publish the above proceedings
of the club.
J. W. THOMAS, President.
E. Edwaiids, Sec'y.
Something
Definite.
The returus frora Maine, like those
from Vermont, show an increased
Democratic vote. Since the organization
of the Republican party, in each
Presidential election, Maine has averiged
18,000 Kepuhlicau majority. At
the election last Monday this majority
was reduced 8,000 ; thus infusing renewed
vigor and activity into the
Democratic ranks. We can well afford
to hurrah for Vermont and Maine.
This is only the beginning of theenil.

Bloody Work.
THE NEGROES TEAR UP A RAILROAD
AND WRECK A TRAIN,
A NUMBER OF MEN KILLED.
Hou?e? Burned,
Augusta, Ga., Sept. 18.
Mrs, Alonzo Harley, who lives near
SilvertoD, Aiken County, South Carolina,
was assaulted at her residence
last Friday by two negro men. Harley
was at work on his farm, and Mrs.
Harley was alone with her son, aged
9 years, and an infant 3 weeks old.
She was knocked down two or three
times. Her screams and those of her
boy alarmed the negroes, who fled.
When the report of the assault on
Mrs. Harley became known, the
neighboring citizens assembled and
made search for the negroes, one of
whom was arrested aud shot. The
other negro escaped. On Saturday a
warrant was issued for his arrest.
The warrant was placed in the hands
of a constable, who, with the aid of a
ponae of whites, attempted to make
the arrest, which was resisted by a
large crowd of negroes, said to be 200,
armed with shot guna and Winchester
rifles. Sunday the excitement
continued, both whites and blacks being
fully armed and watching each
others movements.
There are reports of a skirmish during
the day, in which two or three
persons were wounded. Toward
night a compromise waa agreed upon,
both parties agreeing to disband and
retire to, their homes. The negroes
agreed to surrender the colored mau
who made the assault ou Mrs. Harley,
and deliver him over to the authorities
at Aiken. With this understanding
the whites dispersed, and while
retiring to tneir comes it is reported
that several of the latter were ambushed
and shot by negroes. The
city is full of rumors as to the number
killed, but there is nothing definite.
Later.?It has been ascertained,
up to this hour, that a passenger train,
from Augusta for Port Royal, which
left this morning at 8 o'clock, has returned.
Proceeding to Jackson Station
the track was found torn up and
a freight train, which left here at 6
o'clock this morning, was found
wrecked. The negroes had possession
of the road. Superintendent Flemming,
of the Port Royal Road, has
telegraphed the state of affairs to Governor
Chamberlain, asking him for
troops.. He also applied to Lieutenant
Barn hard t, of the United States army,
stationed at Hamburg, for assistance.
A liumoeror citizens uaveieji. iur me

Death of an Estimable Lady.
Mrs. Fraucis G. Connor, wife of Mr.
F. A. Connor, of Cokesbury, was the
second daughter of the late Geu. G.
W. Hodges, and the first of that large
aud influential family to assume the
vows of the christian religion. When
a little girl, only ten years old, she felt
the drawings of the spirit of God upon
her heart. She met with no encouragement
from her pareuts, -however,
either by precept or example, but notwithstanding
this she yielded to the
sweet attractions of the cross, and
made an open professiou, of the Savior.
As young as she was she began
to feei a concern for her parents and to
iuterest them to give attention to the
subject of religion. She was importunate
; and it was not long before the
father yielding to the simple earnestness
of his little daughter was induced
to attend a meeting then in progress
and at which he was brought to feel
and publicly to confess his need of a
Savior. He aud, after him, other members
of the family followed the childs'
example, a striking instance of the
truth, "and a little child shall lead

wusof a retiring, unassuming disposition,
and vet, on account of her untiring
zeal, her love for the Masters
cause, and her fine sense she was found
at the head of many a pious enterprise
in lier church, and iu this community.
Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock after a
protracted illness she quietly fell asleep
in Jesus in the 55th year of her age.
Today a large and sympathizing audience
attended her funeral service at
the Methodist Church whence her remaint.
were taken to the family burying
ground at Old Tabernacle.
She has a large family, an attached
church and a smitten community to
mourn her loss. I am awure that
terms eulogistic of the dead or love are
often strong and exaggerated, but I am
certain it were no easy task to.exaggerate
the worth of this elect lady to our
community or to over estimate the loss
we sustain in her removal. May the
God of all comfort bind up the bleeding
hearts of her smitten husband and
children. . It. D. S.

Give it, if it has already fever, nothing
but warm, sourish lemonade, with
some gum arabic in it. Then cover its
abdomen t with some dry flannel.
Take a well-folded bed-sheet aud put
it in boiling water, wring it out dry
by means of dry towels, and put this
over the flannel on - the abdomen.
Then cover the whole, and wait. The
hot cloths will, perhaps, require repeated
heat. Accordingly to the severity
of the case and its stage of progress,
perspiration will commence in
the child from ten to two hours. The
child is then saved; it soous falls
asleep. Soon after the child awakes,
it shows slight (symptoms of return
log inclination ior ioou ; neip us uowels,
if necessary, with injections of
oil, soap and water and its recovery
will be as steady as the growth of a
green-house plant, if well treated.
>f course, if the child was already dying,
nothing could save It, or if it has
effusions in the lining of the heart or
brain ; it is much better that it should
die. But if the above is applied in
due time, under the care and direction
of a competent physician, I will gurantee
that not oue In a hundred children
will ever die with the scarlet fever.
1 know this will startle some of
my readers, especially those who have
lost children already ; but I shall go
still further. I maintain that a child
will never get scarlet fever if properly
treated. If a child has correctly mix'

JjeUerFrom Colonel Thomas.
Charlotte, N. C., Sept. 9th, 1876.-*Gentlemen
/?Your esteemed favor, inviting
me to address the democratic
meeting to be held In Abbeville on Sept,
16th next, has been received.
For the honor conferred, which is the
more highly appreciated because, as
you well know, I am not in political
life and seek no political preferment,
accept niy acknowledgments. It would
give me pleasure to be with my friends
on that occasion and I would regard it
a privilege to address the meetiug. But
my present duties iu counection with
my educational work, will preveut my
alteudao^e. The Institute resumes its
exercises on tbe 15th inst., and my post
of duty on the 16th will be here.
Were it iu my power, I would enter
actively in the present canvass, aud ask
my countrymen to hear me even^from
the mountains to tbe seaboard. Jtsut I
must forego this wish of the heart and
content myself with labors for theS^te
in another sphere, and with giving
only some occasional blows on the political
Held. Allow me, however, to assure
you of my hearty sympathy with
the grand popular uprising that now
shakes the State from pentre to circumfereuce.
The cause is a great one. It
looks to the salvation of an ancient
commonwealth and anoble people. The
plan of campaign is wise. The standard
bearers are true and trusty. In my
judgment, the path upon which you
have entered leads to ultimate victory.
I see with exultant pride that the State
is aroused as it has never before been?
that its great heart, quickened under
the influence of patriotic fervor, has
sent the warm blood coursing through
all the veins of the body politic. This
shows that there is soul in the movement.
And I see further that the
masses are abreast with the leaders or
perhaps ahead. This presages victory.
I thank Heaven that the political
trumoet in Routh Carolina now sends
forth no uncertain sound. Let it summon
to the political work of the hour
all that the (State has of virtue and intelligence.
Let it echo and re-echo until
the entire manhood of the State ia
aroused. Let the decree go forth that
the present infamous regime must and
shall go down. It is unphilosophical.
It is illogical. It contradicts history,
defies reason and challenges divinity.
Tell my couutrymen of old Abbeville,
whom I had the honor of addressing in
a kindred campaign in 18Q8, that I have
kept my loyalty, my love, my zeal for
fhof mw rmliMp.nl
UUi UiUbUbl uvaw I VUMV
principles and my political faith are
unchanged ; that as 1 declared then, bo
I declare now*; there is no reaaqn to
doubt the end in South Carolina. The
issues forced upon the whites by the
partisan statesmanship of a dominant
national party, must result in the triuinph
of those moral and mental forces
that always prevail ip a normal condition
of society. The manhood of tbe
State, fully aroused and rightly directed,
will save the State. The policy of
tbe Democracy is that of reasonable
byt resolute self-assertion.
I am. Gentlemen^
Very truly yours,

The author of "I want to be an

An Algerian idea is that the angel of

O
THIS one of the oldest institute
the State. The location is
high and healthy, the population
around moral and correct; thetemptations
to vice and crime are few, compared
with those that exist in large
town and cities.
SESSION AND'VACATION.
The College Session commences on
the first day of October, and closes on
the first Wednesday of July. The
Session is equally divided, without intermediate
vacation, into two Terms:
the second commences on the third
Monday of February.
It is very important that students
should enter or return to College a
the beginning of the Session, since
an absence of a few days at a time,
i 1_ _ m j.
wtien a new oraiicu ui ?iuuj j? cum*
menced, seldom fails to embarrass the
whole course, and some are unable to
make up the loss.
EXAMINATIONS.
Students are required to stand a written
examination on every branch or
textbook completed during the whole
course. The intermediate examinations
occur irregularly through the
year, as the different branches or subject*
are finished.?The final examinations
covering such branches and sub
jects as have not been previously finished,
begin on Thursday before the
first Wednesday in July, and close on
the following Tuesday. The examinations
are open to the public.
EXPENSES.
These include Tuition, Board, WashI
in T.io-lifa ViipI. Hooks. Collecre and
Society fees as follows:
Certificate of Scholarship in the $100,?
000 Endowment, which pays Tuition
one year $ 2(1
Board, $12 per month - 112
Washing, $1,25 per month 11
Lights and Fuel peryear ... 1J]
Books, ,r 44 1C
College and Society Fees, peryear,
(average), about .. 5
Thin statement may be sufficient to
satisfy inquiries, which are frequently
made in respect to the necessary exj
penses of a student at this place. Everv
one knows that clothing, pocket
money, and all matters of this sort,
depend entirely on the indulgence of
the parents and the habits of their
i huuh. The only possible way, in many
cases, to avoid heavy and often extravagant
store bills, is for the parent
or guardian to deposit with some membe!
of the Faculty just the amount of
money he or she wishes to be spent
'in these incidentals. We have given
above the necessary expenses of the
Institution, and it is unfair to charge
the College with heavy expense when
really they are such iu no proper
1 sense.
