A PAPER O'oR THE PEOPIE The Herald is in the highest respect aFai ily Newspaper, devoted to the material i terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see first page. The County Convention. Let there be a large turn-out of delegates and citizens generally to the County Convention at the Court House Thursday. Matters of much importance to the County are to be considered. Every portion and every interest of the County should be represented. The Color Line. A delegation of South Carolina blacks went to Washington last week to call on President Hayes, with the complaint that the mulat toes have thus far monopolized the offices that should have been given to the pure blacks. There are not offices enough within Hayes' appointment to satis fy the Southern negroes' greed for office, and he would as well cease trying. We have received a copy of the Annual Report to. the Legislature of the Lunatic Asylum, by Dr. J. F. Ensor, for the fiscal year 1875-6. The average number of patients for that year was 300. The Superin tendent says "There is now due the institution $5,000 of the appropria tion of year before last, and $29, 000 for the year now just closed, making a total of $34,000." Dr. Ensor is Superintendent, and Dr. 5. W. Parker, House Physician. The Cabinet Shaky. It is currently reported that Postmaster-General Key, the only Democrat in Hayes' Cabinet, is about to resign. His position in the Cabinet is embarrassing to Hayes. Secretary of War McCrary also contemplates resigning. The Re publican Convention of Iowa, Mc Crary's State, has lately expressed a most decided disapproval of Hayes' policy, and the Secretary thinks that in respect to the views of his constituents he is bound to resign. Fence, or No-Fence. What do our farmers say ? If the3 want the no-fence law to be adopted this year it is high time that something should be done. We believe the law should be adopt ed this year, so as to take effect the first of January next. There is no time to lose. The Act provides that a petition from any township, signed by seventy-five citizens, shall be pr-esented to the County Corn missioners, when they shall order an election to take place either be tween the 10th and 20th of Aug ust or the same dates in December, thirty days previous notice being given. The best way, indeed the only way, to test the sentiment of the county on the question is to take the proper steps and have the election. This will cost little or nothing either of time or money. The Managers of the Election will receive no compensation for their [;ervices, nor will the County Com missioners. By all means, let us have the election. Meanwhile onr columns are openi to any farmer who wishes to discuss the- question and will do so concisely. .Editorial Review. The Summer Meeting of the State Grange will be held at An derson C. H., the 8th of August. Hubbard Garmany was tried last week at Greenville for the killing of Van. B. Hendricks, a revenue officer. He was acquitted. The Greenville News says, "A woman is naturally conscientious in every respect. save in the mat ters of smuggling and flirting." Chamberlain and Blaine made speeches at the 4th of July celebra tion at Woodstock, Conn. They both made violent attacks on Hayes' Southern policy. Walhalla has raised her subscrip tions to $13,600 for the new college to be established there. Rev. J. B, Adger, D.D., of Pendleton, S. C., it is soaid will be the Presirlent. The thing most needed nowis an Ethnological Society, which will enable Hayes to distinguish be tween a pure negro and a mixed one, and Hilton to tell a Jew from a Hebrew. Female Education. A correspondent to the Sunny South tells how he fell in love with a beautiful and fashionable young lady, and how he fell out again. He had been paying most devoted addresses to her for months. Being separated for a short time he wrote a loving let ter to this pretty creature, to which she replied. He thus speaks of her letter: At the beginning of this written effort, in the first line.at the left I read "deer," &c. Lower down I saw that she would "except" my kind "invatation" for the next "Wedsday" eve if the weather did not prove to be "inclemmant;" in case it was "stor mey," she was kind enough to ask we to call "eny how" and spend the eve ning with her. She further said that she had "bin" sick "having been" (spelled like the first "bin") "troubled" with a slight "attact" of "newmonia." In the next breath or line she re marked that she was "geting along ellegently" with her French and "Ital lan" lessons, and that her teacher had said that her "progres" in those -lan gugages" (she must have noticed that she was dreadfully stuck on this word, for to do her justice she had scratched out some of those letters !) was some thing "remarkeball." Then. after a highly original sentence about the weather, in which she attewpted a very aged and terribly feeble joke, saying the weather was "extremeley" lab-like-meaning mild-she kindly explained this humorous effort so I would fully appreciate it-she con cluded this model letter by inelosing her "deerest" love and a "hole" bunch of the "sweatest kisses." She pre faced her signature by informing me that she was mine until "deth" should paft when she "hopped" we would be "reunitted" in "Parridise." I have not been to see that young lady since, and the snows of many winters and thunders of a large num ber of summers will fall ere I do again gaze upon her sweet face. On the Wing. Profiting by late experience, the reader of the HERALD is informned that we (Senior) are absent and may be at large for a period-destination, Lincolnton, N. C.; prospect,mon taim scenery. pure water; object, rest, health. 'We do not propose to per manently settle at the above named place, but shall, after recuper-ating, strike tent and peregrinate elsewhere. During the time we shall endeavor to give the reader such items as strike us will afford refreshment. We are on the wing now, and make note as we go, and first is a passing tribute to Messrs. David R. and John P. El kins, of Alston, who can show the finest and LARGEST STOCK OF MILCEI COWS and Springers it was our good fortune] to see. It was in the cool of the af ternoon that we followed them to the pens, and the animals had just re-] turned from the green pastures which abound on the river bottoms. It was a sight worth beholding-those beau tifully formed animals, fat as butter balls, with sleek and glossy coats, and distended bags, ready to fill the bright tin buckets and pails which stood in their proper places to receive the bounteous yield of laeteal fluid. We wished that some of our Newberry friends had been there to enjoy such1 a refreshing sight. That Mollohoni vegetable grower would have gone in to a transport of delight and have ac knowledged gracefully that he did not have everything of the biggest and best. The Messrs. Elkins have cer tainly the finest stock in the country, of which they are naturally and justly proud. It is difficult to say which of them excels ini the fineness of their stock-they cannot decide the point themselves, but each one of course claims superiority in some oae or oth er respect. They should be the hap piest of men, as no doubt they are. We noticed two magnificent animals. called the pets, which let down daily EIGHTEEN TO TWENTY-ONE QUARTS, one a rich red thoroughbred belong ig to David, and a cream-colored beauty belonging to John ; the latter was generously affording of her abun dance refreshment to two calves. The number of animals owned by mother and sons is seventy-five head-out of these, twenty are milkers, so the read- ] er can form an idea of the vast quan- t tity of milk and butter afforded, and wish that he or she were as happily provided for in this respect. If the reader cloes not admit the above to be a first-class item we shall be mortified. The mistaken idea has long prevailed. that Alston is a sickly place, but we re glad to say that it is one which is rapidly exploding. An old gentleman, n proof that people live long here, says that in a period of fifteen or. tenty yars there have died about attended the 4th of July picnic, (we are glad to know the glorious Fourth was observed somewhere) who was 95 years of age, and was as lively. as a cricket. Strange to say, it was her first picnic, and we are happy to say that she has endorsed the institution as pleasant and profitable, and that she hopes to attend the next one and keep the young folks out of mischief. We omitted, while gushing on the milk question, making pleasant men tion of grandmother Elkins with her big pitcher of buttermilk, as seen from the window of,the coach as we rolled up. Somehow she found out that the editor was aboard, and of course dry, and there she was ready to refresh us. We .,eed not say that it was delicious and highly enjoyed; no such buttermilk can be found in the country-Bro. Sidi H. Brown will bear testimony to the fact. The train is coming and we must close. The next will be from under the mountains. FoR THE IHERALD. Our Washington .tter. WASHINGTON, 1). C., July 4, 1877. There is vigor still in the Adams family, if the inter.view with Charles Francis, published in a New York pa per yesterday, is genuine. The sub ject is the Presidency and its accept ance by Mr. Hayes. Mr. Adams met Mr. Hayes, whom he does not acknow ledgeto be the rightful President, at the Harvard Commencement, and his remarks to the reporter are in the na ture of a defence of his own course in thus associatiug with an acting Presi dent. on whose brow is the "brand of fraud." It is hardly fair to say that Mr. Adams represents or leads any body of men, but in this matter he speaks the sentiments of a vast majori ty of the people, and he speaks them in a way to command attention. The black-totally black-Commit tee which was reported as on its way from South Carolina to visit the Presi det, has not yet put in an appear ance. Its reported intention was to protest against the giving of office to men half white and half black--those, as has been said, who can have no pridle of ancestry or hope of posterity --to the exclusion of mren entirely black. This at once raises the race question in a way which will probahly perplex Mr. Hayes, as, so far, he has elvated only white and yellow citizens to office. Senator Blaime was seen on the streets a day or two ago but did not stay with us long. The Woodstock celebration was evidently occupying ill his thoughts, though he was not communicative on that or any other subject. When this letter reaches you he will have spoken his piece in he ancient New England village, and will probably have given to the Re publican party his idea of what. its ~ourse hereafter should be. That portion of the Maryland Re publicans who support the Adminis ~ration is divided on the subject of ffices. The Collector at Baltimore, he most important office in the State, efuses to resign and is suspended to nake a place for the great Republican wire-puller, John L. Thomas. This s not reform, as the present Collector was endorsed by most of the business nen of Baltimore. He will fight the :onfirmation of Thomas before the Senate, like Pitkin, of Louisiana, and >thers. What support they will get ~rom Senators remains to be seen, but bey evidently act upon the advice of eading men. At no point inr the whole extent of he country is it more difficult to en ineer an enthusiastic celebration of ny event, particularly a political one, han at the Capital City. The chief reason is because we more clearly ap reciate the insincerity and hypocrisy inderling partisan politics as used y the professional politician for his wn glory. We know just how cheap i creature he is, and for what he can be bought. Hence there is rarely ever n organized attempt to celebrate the inaiversary of our independence as is bserved elsewhere. The crowds of office-hunters who iccumulated here during the Presi jent's Eastern visit soon learned the way to his summer retreat, at the Sol iers' ilome, and he will not lack for ompany even during the most torrid weather.

Broadbrim's New York Letter. No. 25. Our Colored Brethren-Dar's Trubble in de Church-Affairs in Wall Street-Dull Times-Fourth of .uly--Fire Works-General News. Among the cherished traditions of Central Africa there is not one that has a firmer hold on the heart of the ortho dox believer than the fact that the devil is white. Many of us have suf fered from attacks of the blue devils. We have seen him painted yellow, ied and green, but in Africa alone the devil is depicted of that peculiar hue which the darkey down in Mis sissippi declared "Wasn't no color at all." Whether warned by the. tre mendous evangelical efforts put forth by Brothers Moody and Sankey, sup plemented by the eminent services of those distinguished sentinels on Zion's watch-towers, Brother Earl and the Widow Van Cott, I cannot tell, but certain it is that he appears to have forsaken his former happy hunting grounds for the nonce, and, looking for a weak spot in the walls of the church militant, has fallen upon our colored brethren. I regret to say, with a terrible and alarming success. Many of our colored congregations are hope lessly disrupted, and the leaven of discontent fermenting in many others gives alarming evidence that the devil is busily at work. For a year past the Fleet Street African Methodist Church of Brook lyn has been no pleasant abode for the Prince of Peace, Ind on more than one occasion the interposition of the poli,e alone prevented the contri bution boxes from being converted into Irish shillalahs, and even the sacred Scriptures themselves from being used as a bolt, like that which sent the unfortunate Pheton sprawl ing on the plains of Ilion. All the parties have been several times before the courts, black eyes and bloody noses have been by no means uncommon, while in the little matter of counter-swearing I can only say that in point of circumstantial ex cellence, and general truthful discre pancy, their swearing would have re flected credit on a first-class white di vorce suit, or even a church action for slander.' One Brother Murray has presided as watchman of this Chris tian citadel, to the infinite disgust of one-half of the worshiping congrega tion ; but while opposed by one-half, the other, and better half, remained firm and unshaken-this latter half embracing most of the female mem bers of the congregation on whom brother Murray appears to have made a decided and lasting impression. In one of the scrimmages which occurred a few weeks since, a sister weighing about 250 pounds was almost knocked clean through the pulpit, losing a val uable chignon which cost a dollar and seventy-five cents, and having her head jammed up against the vestry door. This flagrant outrage was perpetrated by one of the discontented board of trustees, who, on being arraigned be fore the courts for this .outrageous in fraction of the peace, swore positively that he not only "did not do it," but dat he didn't know de lady even by name, and nebber saw her befo' in his life. To be brief, the trustees, after a running fight which lasted over a year, at last drove Brudder Murray out, and compelled him to take up quarters in a place called the Lyceum, recently distinguished by a brutal prize-fight. Brother Murray got up a church party to celebrate the tri umph of his secession, and among the numerous attractions of strawberries and cream, candy pulling and post ffice, was one called a cake-walk-in which a big cake all covered with su gar and things was to be given to the :ouple who could walk dat fib' do pud liest. I tell you dar was some tall walking for dat cake. Miss M., whose father is one of the most eminent and successful whitewashers in Brooklyn, accoapanied by Mr. S., a waiter from Dieter's, had the prize almost within her grasp, when a false step on the part of the gentleman sent the couple to the wall in disgrace. Various par ties struggled for the prize, and all ad retired except the Widow B., whose graceful gait and general style ad stirred the bitter envy of the wo men and ear-ned smiles of admiration ad approval from the men. Her skirt swept the floor for a yard and a half, and the manner in which she slung it around with her heel every time she turned a corner won vehe ment and boisterous applause. "Dat :ake is gwine round to 221 Pine street shoo"-she lovingly whispered to Mr. L., formerly a dashing waiter at the Eotel Brunswick, but now an artist in kalsimine and whitewash, with excel lent business prospects. The last ound was almost complete,- the cake was as good as won, when he stepped on a piece of lemon-peel which some vil-disposed person had thrown upon the floor-his legs flew from under im, and as he was going he wildly rasped the first thing within reach, which happened to bo the skirts of Widow B. The shock was terrific; the pins and tapes gave way, and the harming widow stood revealed before the company in her hoops, the eleva bion of which was heightened by two opies of the New Yor-k Sun. The idow fainted and was carried to a arbershop near by. The outraged ~ongregation threw Mr. L~. out of the back door, and a suit is now pending or damages, which threatens to de troy the future usefulness of the bhurch. The Thirty-first Street Afri an Methodist has not been free from ontention, one of the deacons threat ning to put a head on the pastor, be ause he said "dat de deacon's conduc' id one of de sistern was unbecoming LChristin" Both the partie were which places in jeopardy this portion of our colored Zion. Several shucking suicides have star tied the coiiunity during the last week. In one case a mother murders her little girl and herself, and in ano ther, a pour shoemaker, over fifty years of age, tired of living, deliberately and sadly throws off his weary load of life. Poverty and suffering have very little to do with increasing the statistics of suicide, the overtasked brain having much more to do with it than either sickness, suffering or penury. The races this summer have not been as attractive as in former years. The breaking up of the pools has had financially rather disastrous effect upon the race-courses, and while all decent people rejoice that gambling is sepa rated from what ought to be an enno bling sport, still there is no use deny ing the fact that where this law has been put in force the race-courses will show a balance on the wrong side of the ledger. The report that Dr. Mary Walker was going to be married on the 4th of July to an eminent politician of Wash ington, turns out to be a canard. The Doctor says that she is not yet tired of wearing the breeches, and when she is she will notify the press. The Seligman-Hilton affair led to a little round of fisticuffs between some brokers on Wall Street ; one got a" black eye and the other lost a sleeve button. All quiet on the Potomac. Two brothers pitched into each other in the Gold Room on Tuesday, and as they are both top-sawyers on Mur ray Hill the affair has caused a very profound sensation in the fag-end of our fashionable society which still remains in town ; some say a girl was at the bottom of it, and another report is that the row was about money. In either case one young gentleman will need a beefsteak to his eye for a week, while the other rejoices in a head done up in diachylon plaster. The ordinance forbidding fire-works in the cities of New York and Brook lyn has raised a terrible commotion, the furnishing of fire-works on the fourth of July being a favorite and profitable job. It did not matter how many lives were placed in jeopardy or how much.property was imperiled, the job must be carried through, and somebody must -reap the benefit. Brooklyn has forbidden the use of miscellaneous fire-works altogether, but New York still gives the rising American a chance. One foolish al derman actually had the effrontery to move that the sum to be devoted to fire-works be donated to the sufferers at St. John. I wonder they did not throw him out of the window-in fact, it is not certain that they did not, he has not been seen for the last twenty-four hours. One only " e is that he may turn up in some ?a tic asylum. Every kind of trade is com plaining of the dull times, yet money was never so low, and our crops give promise of abundance. Fruit of all kinds common to the season is plenti ful and good, and of tropical fruits the orange, banana and pine-apple glut the market. The weather has been uncommonly close and oppress ive, one or two days the thermometer away up in the nineties. The general health, notwithstanding, is good. Hoping to be able to get out of town long enough to make a raid on some body's melon patch or cherry tree, I am, Truly yours, BROADBRIM. FOR TH m RAD Agricultural. ENOREE PLANTATION, S. C., July 5th, 1877. MESSRS. EDITORS :-I -ask a limited space in your paper to speak to the planters of Newberry. For eleven years we have been under a cloud and there was nothing to rouse our pcople to permanent in,provements that con stitute the wealth and power of States. Now that the just and sage Hampton has dispelled the cloud with prudent ounselors in our legislative balls we will have wholesome laws, and if we ct intelligently we will in ten years e more prosperous than we have ever been. Before us are wealth, prosperity and power, and the planters are the foundation stones of the superstruc ture; upon thenm every business and profession rests for a support, for there ever was a dollar in the world but what was dug out of the ground-the great reservoir of all things. .Let us realize the fact that the late war has nade vast changes in our industrial system, which necessitate correspond ing changes in our farming operations. Let us cast about and see what other peoples have done and are doing bhat gives them wealth and power, d let us avail ourselves of every dvantage. I have traveled from the anadas to the Gulf of Mexico and save read and studied the soil and . ~linate of the most powerful people f the earth, and there is no spot that ~ombines more, if as many, of the ele nents that produce wealth as does our wn beautiful Newberry. Her galled ills and gullied slopes are the works )f those who have gone before us. [et us restore and beautify them, and lelay not the work. Let us leave, in measure, the rut traveled by our ~athers. Let us no longer spend all our ener ies scraping and leaving bare our ands to clothe the world and impov ~rish ourselves. The grasses that we ~ave been taught to fight as pests .ve the eah .a a carpet and are will be famed as the garden spot of the- States. With well-filled barns, her fields mantled with green the year round, her hills and valleys covered with flocks, and her lint whitening the seas, she will be more enchanting than the green "Isle of Erin" or the f2r famed meadows of Lombardy. Let us no longer view the landscape, but let us cross the Jordan and reap the rich harvest. In my next letter I will show what the grasses have done for other countries and what they will do for us if properly cultivated. I remain yours. Very respectfully, ELLISON S.

EDITORS :-Last week was most delightfully spent, three evenings we repaired to the Town Hall to par ticipate by splendid attntion - and hearty co-operation in the closing exer cises of the Male and Female Acade mies. Academy is a grand, glorious word, savoring much of antiquity and forcibly reminding one of the ancient schools of learning when science not only approximated but attained the acme of perfection. The young misses displayed artistic taste in the floral decorations, the mottoes were -pretty and appropriate. Hampton, our noble ruler and patriot, was not forgotten amid our pleasure. This was clearly demonstrated by the conspicuous posi tion which his picture occupied, afford ing each one the pleasure of beholding his noble and handsome face. The school exercises were justly termed Exhibitions. Yes, the boys and girls not only showed their handsome, smiling faces, their pretty suits and dresses made after the latest Parisienne style, but showed that talent was not foreign to their minds, au contraire, reigned unconsciously there. The original essays were nicely composed and well read. Miss Nellie Chapman's subject was a happy one, she treated it well and read it finely. This essay, too, evinced her native talents; we could not fail to notice how finely she intonated each word. The selections were unsurpassed. Miss Sallie Brown rendered "Pied Piper" in a humorous manner, which accorded nicely with the words. The music, both vocal and instrumental, was well executed by all the pet ites cantatrices, who are indebted to Mrs. F. 0. Bailey, the elegant and accomplished lady and thorough tutoress in this beautiful art, for their knowledge which was not superficial-only surface deep. "White Rose March" and the sweet Irish melody were elegantly performed by two of those sprightly creatures which adorn our beautiful earth.. Prof. Pifer's entertainment included two evenings. Wednesday, the second evening, we were highly amused and pleasantly entertained with dialogues, which were rendered in a very felici tous manner, each one acted her part well, but we must be allowed to award the palm to Misses Flora Meredith, Carrie Mayer, Mattie McIntosh and Emma McKellar. Prof. Pifer's talent for imparting and making instruction thorough is too well known to need mention from our pen. We must now speak of' Mr. Clark son's handsome boys, each of whom seemed a son of a genius as he deliv ered the oration assigned him by his scholarly teacher. Some of these boys were much enthused with their sub jects and -gave promise of success in the histrionic profession. The orations by Jno. B. Jones on "The Destruction of Columbia," Jas. B. Singleton, "The Patriotism of South Carolina," Chas. D. Wright, "The Evils of Gaming," were creditably delivered. The oration in the Latin.-tongue was ably given by Mr. W. E. Merchant, and caused many happy recollections of girl-hood days to cluster in our memory. ~The boys oped well with the girls in their ren dition of dialogues. Valedictory, by M. Foot, dr., was so well delivered that it led us to think that both in structor and pupil had great cause to be proud, we may add jubilant over their united success. Numerous bou quets of flowers, sweetly tern)ed Earth's stars, were showered upon the boys, servinig as words of praise. The Professors are proud of their pupils, and will always remember each other with kindness and affection. We shall long remember these happy evenings, and wish both preceptors and pupils a pleasant vacation. "PEARL." Newberry, July 9th, 1877.

A CARD. July 8th, 1877. MEssRs. EDIToRS : A notice in your last issue from Capt. J. N. Lipscomb, Chairman County Executive Committee, calls a con vention of the people on the 12th inst. This is a step in,the right direction, and I presume the most important business of the convention will be to make a nomina tion for a Representative to the lower house, and nominations to fill certain County offices, viz: One Clerk of the Court and two County Commissioners As to Representative, the minds of the people seem centered on Y. J. Pope, Esq., who has borne the heat and burden of the whole past campaign with unparalleled zeal, and is one of the three who so suc cessfully showed to the legislature the in eligibility and entire unfitness of Will H. Thomas. As to Clerk of the Court, please allow your "Voter" to submit the name of Capt. D. A. Dickert to the careful consid eration of our County Convention. The time has certainly come when gifted, tal ented and responsible men, who have served their country in the front ranks of danger and honor, and men who have al ways responded to the call of Nation, State or County in their darkest hours of trial, should, and ought to be rewarded. To this class belongs Capt. D., and to the above merits I must add that of an accom plished gentleman, a correct accountant, business qualifications and obliging man ners. Messrs. Editors., I hope you will not think me too presumptive by mentioning one more name, that of our estimable friend L. Bates Maffett, for County Comir missioner. Mr. Maffett has served his county acceptably for many years, and in the organization of the late "Wallace House of Representatives" at Columbia, was of a service (in connection with a faiend) to the present government, and people of this State, the value of which can never be estimated.

A dressing which is at once agree able, healthy, and effectual for preserv ing the hair. Faded or gyay hair is soon restored to its original color, witi the gloss aad freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can re store the hair where.the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remin can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious sub stances which make some prepara tions dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can onl1y benefit but notbharm it. If wanted merely for a *HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desir able. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cam bric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfiune.. PREPARED BY Dr.. C.
