Democratic Meeline at Fair Play. According to appointment on Tuesday, tho 1st of October, a meeting was hold hero for tho purposo of giving tho candidatos of tho county an opportunity of showing themselves to thc people of our community and expres sing their views on thu political issues of tho day. County State and national politics all received due attention. Thoro was truly a large crowd ol' candidates out. They began to arrive hore on Monday evening and contin ued to como in until Tuesday about ll o'clock. I am sorry to report that tho crowd in attend ance was very small. The coming election is an important ono in thc history of South Carolina, and as Maj Pendy remarked in his speech, "Wc want tho upper counties of thc Stuto to give a majority saflicicntto overcome handsomely thc Radical majority in the lower counties, especially in this Congressional District." There is not onough enthusiasm shown on thc part of tho pcoplo herc, and it seems to bo thc case, from tho reports of tho candidates, r.ll over tho county. Wc have the reins ol' government in our hands and let us hold them. Let Goonoo givo this fall the largest majority to thc Dom'ooratlo cause that she has ever given. The people may, though, ho somewhat excused for their slim attendance herc Tuesday on account of tho cotton crop being so much advanced. Thc farmers have endeavored to keep up with the cotton, but in vain. They do not like to lo-c that for which thoy have toiled so hard. Fair Play can be counted on beyond a doubt when thc election comes oft' There were plenty oi" candidates on hand and I am sorry that I cannot report all tho proceedings of thc day, as I do not want to encroach upon your spaeo too muoh. I will only mention tho speakers on tho ocen sion. I hope that all made some votes by coming to our town. Although thc crowd was small wc were determined to have some speaking. Some of tho candidates remarked that they would say what they bad to say to the few that were hero and they could tell tho absent ones ubout it. Only tho candi dates for tho Legislature addressed tho crowd, with tho OXCOption of Col. Livingston, who was called for nt tho close AV o tried to got some of thc candidates for county ofliecs to speak, but failed. I bolievo that there is an agreement among thc last named candidates that they would not speak nt all during thc county canvass. About ll o'clock Rev. ILM. Harton, thc Presidoutof our club, announced that speak ing was in order and requested Mr. Joel Beard to opon tho speaking. Mr. Barton then introduced MR. HEARD, who expressed his regrets that ibero were su few out and said that it would be a hard matter for him to speak nuder the circum stances. Ile opened his speech on thc politi cal issu es between tho Democrats and Fede rals of 1801, tho former headed by Thomas Jefferson and tho latter by Washington, and kopt on down to the present day in a manner that showed ho is worthy tu rcceivo ibo support of tho peuple of Oconce for the office for which ho is running. After thanking tho people for their attention ho retired and MAJ. s. l\ DEN nv was introduced next, who opened his speech on tho probability of tho various tickets of the Stato being clcctod. Ho said that there was no doubt about tho State ticket, as it had no opposition; but that thc fight would bc mado for tho Legislature. Thc Radicals arc trying to got a majority in the Legislature in order to cripple Governor Hampton in his endea vors to run our government properly; and that Governor Hampton could do nothing without a proper Legislature to back him. Ho next commented on tho recent Radical Convention, held in this county, Buying that Radicalism in this county was dodd, and that they would never hold another convention in tho county, thus giving us an opportunity to swoll tho Democratic majority of this Con gressional District. Mnko tho majority lnrgo enough to insure Col. Aiken's election to Congress ovor tho Radical majority of tho lower oouutics. Ho stated that there would bo itt 1880, according to somo poisons, three parties in tho Uuitod States, viz: Domoeratic, Radical and Grconbnck, and that tho olootion of a President would bo likoly to fall upon Congress, boneo tho importance of thc nt.xt Congress being Dcmooratic. In conclusion, Maj. Dendy said that if tho pooplo would olect bim to tho liOgislaturo he would dis charge .the duties entrusted lo him faithfully. At tho next election Int us kill out tho Radi cal party in South Carolina. Aftor Mnjor Dendy Mit. J. fl. VEKNEIt was introduced. Ho statod that tho Radical party did not intend to light tho Stato ticket, hut intended to como at us backward and fight for mcmbors of tho Legislature Ho spuke of tho. Congressional election lu tho saino strain ns Maj. Dendy did, and then ho wont on to show that tho expenditures of tho Inst legislature had not exceeded, whon taken proportionately, the expenditures ~ tho Legislature of '00 ?odor our i fathers and in tho good old limos that wo all liko to droam and talk of BO much. Ho gavo tho figures of both, comparing tho oxpondituros of tho different dopartmonts, in ordor ho said, to suppress tho howl that had boon raised against tho last Logislaturo on account of alleged extravagances, and claimed that tho legislators did all in their power to cut down expenso?, and that tho Lcgislatnro had faith fully kopt its pledgee in regard to roform, ns iho records of tho Logislaturo will show to any ono who may examine them. After correcting 8omo reports that bad boon spread ovor tho oounty about himself, Mr, Voruor rotired. Mr. Livingston hoing called for, Mr, Barton introduced COL. lilYIMO$T0N, our prosont Sonator. Ho mudo a short, timely spcoch, which was woll rccoivod, and ho also substantiated what Mr. Vernor had said in regard to tho last Legislature. Mr. Porchor collected moro taxes than was expeotod. "C."

When tho Howards announced that they had abundant moans, it had tho roliof of tho sick alono in view, but si nco thoy havo found it nccossary to extend their field of oporations, owing to tho liront and increasing destitution among tho laboring clnssos, thoy do not think there is nay woy ol' giving full roliof without gov~ Amnion t aid. Tho socrotary then telegraphed Dollootor Smith at Now Orloans ns follows: "It appearing that tho Howard association is ioutributing toward tho roliof of tho destitute, whether sick or not, nnd that ibero is want ind suffering that thoy cannot relievo.
