Tho Roault of the Elections.
The elections in Pennsylvania, Now Jorsoy, '
Nobrasku, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan,
"Wisconsin and Kansas, rosultod in favor of
tho Republicans by increased majorities. In
Mississippi and Maryland the Democrats
wero successful. Virginia is also Democratic,
though moro Republicans havo boon clootcd
to tho Legislature than usual. Tho groat
contost in Virginia was over ber public debt.
Tho McCullough plan was to rcduco tho
interest to four por cont. Tho ro-adjusters,
headed by Qon. Mahonc, aro in favor of nd"
justing tho dobt to suit themselves. This
party claims the Legislature Massachusetts
was tho scene of a big triangular fight.
Tbero wero throo tickets in tho field-Ropub*
Hean, Democratic and tho Butleriles. Tho
Butlor party increased their voto from last
yoar. Tho Republicans wero successful, not
by a majority, but by a plurality. It was in
Now York, however, whoro tho greatest
interest was felt. Tho bolt of Tammany by
Kelly took nearly 100,000 votes from Robini
son, tho Democratic nominco for Governor.
In all olso, tho bolt gavo bira strength. Tho
whole independent and conservativo element
voted for him. Some of tho Kelly orowd ?
voted for Cornoll, tho Republican machine
^c?ndVoV?A?a^.JLLo was_?Jooted by a plurality of |
35,000. Tho latest indications are that
Potter, the Dcmooratio candidato for Lieuten
ant Oovernor, and Seymour, tho Democratic
candidato for Canal Commissioner, aro
eleotod.
County Expenses.
Wo publish in this issue tho annual roport
of tho County Commissioners touching tho
expenses of the county for the yoar just past.
It loots up a fearful exponso, but to eliminate
any item in ordor to reduce expenses would
bo a difficult matter to any one. Somo ex
pensive bridges have been built, and whilo
ve aro satisfied wo havo too many bridges,
wo aro equally satisfied tho act of outting off J
could not bo located. Tho pooplo want good
roads and bridges, and in past indebtedness
tho cost of bridges is $750 for last year and
$465 for this yoar.
Tho cost of trial justices and constables
foot up tho round sum of $735, whilo tho
cost of tho court and stationery foots
up $1,536. Wo cannot complain, for
tho pay of tho County Commission
ers is not largo for this year, and wo
aro unablo to seo whoro tho reduction of ex?
penses aro to bo mado. Whilo this is true,
with a special tax, wo aro in debt about two
thousand dollars, which could bo paid if tho
railroad tax could be realized. This should
bo dono, but our roads are so mixed up in
1 itigation that it seems they are to havo an
exomption for all time. If othor legislation is
needed, our members should pass it, so that
in realizing this tax, our county would bo
froo from dobt, a thing which has not hap
pened for years. It is sad to bo involved in
dobt, without tho prospect for roliof. A cash
fund would get our county straight and
would go farther to rcduco expenses than any
other ono thing, in securing tho prompt pay?
mont of County claims. Wc havo tho pros
pect next year of nn expensive Court, by
reason of a murdor trial, with a company of |
witnesses and the board of prisoners.
Those accounts aro published under tho
law for tho information of tho people, and
should bo closely scanned that any saving
which can bo mado to tho county moy bo
suggested and carried out.

NEW YORK, November 10.-Hon. Richard
Schell died (his morning.
Death of Miss Laura Nevill.
Wo regrot to chronicle tho (loath, from con?
sumption, of Miss Laura Nevill, ob last
Friday morning, tho 7th instant. Miss Novill
was the second daughtor of our follow ottiton,
Wm. O'. Nevill, and was admired for hor
many oxoellont and ennobling qualities. Shu
Wa? young, tulon ted, lovely and nmiablo, the
prido and joy of bor fond parents. She has
boen called away jU8t as sbo was budding
Into womanhood, and her doath will bo tho
moro koooly folt on that account. Her puro
lifo and ohnrnoter will bo worthy of imitation
by all hor school-mates and acquaintances.
After appropriate and touching religious
sorviooB in tho Baptist Church on Saturday
morning by tho pastor of tho church, tho
body of Miss Novill was deposited in mother
oarth from which it carno, to sloop until tho
resurrection morn. Our deepest sympathies
aro with tho bereaved family and thoir
I friends.
Death of Samuel Loving g o od.
Tho old hoads aro passing away abd in tho
doath of Col. Snmuol Lovinggood, wltlch
ooourred on Tuosday morning, tho 11th
instant, another link which connects us with
tho past history of our oounty haft boen bro
ken. Wo can now almost count on our
fingers tho fow men of prominence who live
to conncot us with tho old regime. Wo had
known Col. Lovinggood sinco our curliest
recollection, remembering him in our boyhood
ns a sucsoBsful minor in Cbeohce. Ho wns born
in Elbert County, Georgia, and romovod to
South Carolina years ago and settled in
Chocheo, whoro bo married tho daughter of
James Lay, a loading citi/.on of that section.
I Ho soon after lost his wife, leaving one
daughter, on whom ho bestowed a liberal
education, giving hor overy ndvftntago money
could obtain. Ho wns bold and fearless,
advising tho young, and speaking his mind
frcoly but kindly. Ho started in lifo poor,
but by a courso of strict honesty, economy
and porsovoranco, ho had, before tho war,
accumulated a large property, much of which
his sound judgment enabled bim to carry
through tho war. For soveral years bo has
resided in Walhalla with his daughtor and
becu engaged in tho banking business, hav
ing been tho first and last President of tho
Walhalla Bank, and after its dissolution
oonlinuing with W. C. Ervin a privato bank.
Through a long lifo of over seventy years
success nltondcd all his undertakings. After
tho war ho was goncrous in settling by com
promising with his creditors, taking fifty couts
on tho dollar of what was duo him, and
giving his creditors timo to mako monoy and
pay without sacrificing thoir property, whon
he might havo pressed thoir proporty to Balo
and bought it for a trino. Strictly eobor and
tomperate in all things, ho was highly ro?
spoctcd in this community nnd will bo greatly
missed. Col. Lovinggood represented old
Piokens District iu the Legislature ono or
two terms, but bo had no political aspirations
and sought no preferment in that lino. His
remains will bo interred at Chcobco on
Wednesday, whero they will rest by bis wife,
until tho last trump shall nwako the dead to
liio.
(CORRESPONDENCE OF TUE KEOWEE COURIER.]
LETTER FROM CHARLESTON.
.-cos
CHARLESTON, S. C., November 7,1879.
To-morrow the registration of voters of this
city begins, and wo aro all agog with politics.
Tho candidates arc tho samo ns those an
nounced in tho carly part of tho Bummer, thc
Radicals having put out no candidato of thoir
own. Salo and Oayor, who run as Indepcnd'
onts, seem to havo tho qualifications ncccs*
sary to mako them nccoptabloto tho Radicals,
and it is understood that they will divido the
Radical vote.
Salo practices such unaccountable folly that
many of his own party support him only
because they do not Uko tho other candidates,
and thero is littlo doubt that beforo election
day ho will bo virtually out of tho fight, and
tho roal contest will bo between Courtenay
and (layer. Indeed, somo think this is tho
case now.
Gayer is exactly tho samo sort of Inde
pendent ns was Hon. Jas. B. Campboll in tho
State election of last yonr, and yet he calls
himself a Hampton Democrat, although
Hampton condemns this sort of thing in thc
strongest terms. Courtenay is tho nominee
of tho Democratic party, and bas always said
that bc would bo governed by the party.
Tho voto polled in his favor at tho Domouratic
Primarios hold somo weeks ago, was very
handsome, and was not only a testimonial of
tho determination of good men to frown down
Indopcndontism, but a strong ground for
having confidonco in his election. In addi?
tion to tho whito voto, his organization
amongst tho negroes will probably secure a
largo colored vote.
Business is in full blast, nnd a great deal
of cotton is being handled. I notice that a
groat many largo irou steamships aro now
hoing used in shipping cotton from this port
to Europe. Ooo went out tho other day with
5,000 halos in her cargo. Prices on this
markot aro good, and it scorns now as if tho
consumption of tho world having caught up
with tho production of tho stnplo, they will
hold up well for tho present crop at least.
I seo tho idoa of a Calhoun monument, to
bo placed somo whoro on tho lino of tho Air
Lino Railroad, has boon agitated rocently in
tho up-oountry. If may not bo forgotten by
somo of your roaders that beforo tho war a
Calhoun Monument Association was organ?
izod, whioh collootod about sixty thousand
dollars for a monument. Tho fund has been
romnrkubly presorved, ubout forty thousand
dollars now remaining, nnd the Association
aro pushing forward plans fur tho onrly ac
complishment of thoir objects. As tho
Stato will thus havo n monument worthy of
Calhoun, it is hardly in timo to talk about
another, though, if our pooplo eould afford it,
we would Uko to sec monuments to our grout
statesmon all ovor tho Stato.
Thors is, however, an object whioh may
woll ooinmcnd tho solioitudo of our whole
pooplo, for its nooda aro pressing. I rofor to
tho "Confodorato Homo" of this city, and
perhaps a fow foots in regard to it will not bo
nmiss. The "Homo" was founded soon after
tho war, and its chief aim is to educate tho
daughtors of Confederate soldiers, whoso
povorty proven?s thom from othorwiso obtain
ing oducalion. During tho Inst nino yonrs
tbcro has hoon au average uttondnnco of
sixty rosidont pupils from all parts of tho
State.
Tho pupils live in tho Homo during tho
oohool year, and both thoir conreo of studies
and thoir housohold trnintog aro dosiguod to
enable thom to support themselves as tooohors
and governesses, as ?roll no to fit thom for
domostio life. Thero is nothing denomina*
tionnl or sooially exclusivo about it. Somo
of tho scholars pay what thoy ono, but n
Inrgo portion pny nothing. Tho oconomio
mnnogomont is romnrknblo. Although fur
nishing sixty young ludios with tuition,
bonrd, lodging, light?, fuol nnd washing, for
nine nnd n half months in tho yenr, tho
annual expenses aro only about six to sovon
thousand dollnrs. This shows at onco that
no mo noy is wu 8 tod.
Tho rccont failures boro havo placed tho
Homo in a very critical financial condition.
It lins not only lost heavily of its own monoy,
but those who havo boon its liberal supportor?
aro not now nblo to extond thoir hands.
Tho Homo is opon tinssent m as usunl, but
tho small cash amount which tho Hoard hn\o
on hand is nlmost oxponded, and thoy cannot
600 where they will get monoy to sustain tho
Institution through tho session. Tho up?
country can not do bettor than to come to tho
rosouo at this juncture, nnd it cannot fail to
take interest in tho Homo, for nil over tho
Stato its boncfioiurics aro scattered. It isa
groat work, nnd surely wo can hardly escapo
a blush for our people, if thc Home is not
sustained. R. E. H.
Fair Play Locals.
There has not boon as much damngo dono
to tho corn crop by tho recent freshet, as was
at first supposed; though it bus been conside
rably injured. Tho loss in cotton will bo
comparatively light. There aro hardly
enough pumpkins left for seed purposos.
Fair Play can now boast of a cash cotton
market. Cul. ll. E. Mason is buying cotton for
a house in Richmond, Va. He pays tho
highest market prices for cotton. Ho ls
offering to-day (tho 27th) 10J and will pay
always as much as they aro paying
cither nt Seneca City or Anderson. This is
tho wny it stands in Oconco: Lovinggood &
Ervin nt Walhalla buy for a bouso in Philu~
dopbin; I think M r. John C. Cary at Seneca
City, and Mr. A. Zimmerman nt "Westminster,
for Philadelphia h onsen, i.nd Col. R. E. Mason
nt Fair Pb y fur a Richmond house, nnd
Charleston, our chief commercial city, is loft
out entirely. I would liko to know if B)IO
expects to keep up nt this rate. Sim should
havo representatives all through tho up
country buying ootton for her houses.
Messrs. W. II. Lindsay and W. II. O'llry
nnt caught out of eight races live loses reu
ccntly. They have exco lieut hounds nnd
propose to run them ngainst uuy in tho
county. If thero uro any persons desiring to
run ngainst them they will bo accommodated.
Our worthy Congressman, lion. D. Wyatt
Aiken, is a wido awake man and makes a
good representativo. Ho thinks that thc
United States is far ahead of thc rest of the
world for inventive genius, and ho is right,
too. In his address before thc Ninety-six
Literary Club recently, ho bas the following
to say on American genius: "But why con
tinuo to instance evidences of our mechanical
progr?s*? Thoy ni e around and about us
continually, nnd show themselves in ovcry
instrument wc usc As in tho mechanics, so
in nil thc arts and sciences, American genius
is pre-eminent and unrivalled, lt is as sue?
cosful in discovering hitherto unknown
planets away in tho regions of tho fixed stars,
as it is in manufacturing spurious coin and
substituting it for genuino monoy. Whether
it bo in astronomy or alohomy, moral science
or rascality, tho American expert isa master
mind." "'Rabi for America nnd Pair Piny!
Thoy aro always nhcndl"
I do nut hear quito ns much about mil?
roads and wheelbarrow linos ns I did n short
time since; but still thc endeavors in lichnlf
of tho Pair Play nnd Westminster Railroad
havo not ceased by nny means, and subscript
tions arc gradually coining in. Col. lt. E.
Mason and perhaps Mr. 1). H. Glenn will go
to Atlanta this wook in tho interest of thc rond.
Tho pcoplo of Westminster should wnko up
and go to work, as tho road would bo moro
beneficial to thom than any others.
Frost has put a stop to tho growth of
cition and it will not bo long boforo thc crop
will bc picked out, with tho exception of a fow
late bolls.
I reported some timo ?ince that Mr. N.
Cobb, living at Col. W. W. Holland's gin,
near herc, attempted suicide by taking laud
anum, and that failing to produco tho desired
ond, his making UPO of a rope. Ho denies
tho charge ns to the laudanum, saying that
ho only desired to take a nap, but bo has not
explained his performances on thc slack ropo
yet.
Politics aro vory quiet. They arc hardly
ever mentioned, but still tho pcoplo will volo
tho Domocratio ticket as a unit in 1880. Tho
littlo differoncos about tho fence law will all
bo quieted by that time.
I havo heard nothing lately from tho
Knox-Parkor difficulty, though nomo timo
Inst wook Hill Parkor went ovor intoOoorgia
and bad a wnrrant issuod against Mr. Knox.
Fair Play is still on tho mend. In a fow
days we will have n watch repairer hero to
keep our watches and clocks all right. Mr.
Samuel Mason is tho person nt tho bend of
this enterprise.
Mr. lt. A. Patterson, formerly of Walhalla,
is running n shoo shop boro. Ho is over head
nnd cars in work, nnd ho is n good shoo mn
kor. Mr. W. H. Lindsay has been nesistinghini.
Wo nocdod just such a man as Mr. Patterson
among us, and it is to bo boped that tho com
munity will continuo to supply him with
work.
Col. It. E. Mason was informed in Atlanta
that thero would bo no difficulty ?n obtnining
rolling stock and iron for tho Fair Piny and
Westminster Railroad. All, ^hon, that is
necessary for our pcoplo to do will bo to
grado tho rond and put down tho tion. Thoy
can, and, I think, will do it, and that, too, at
no distant day.
Tho farmors aro busily engaged sowing
wheat nnd picking out what littlo cotton
romnins. Thoy hnvo nbout finished hauling
up their corn.
Although this lins boen a vory bad year
for farming, some of our fnrmors havo mado
good orops and scorn hopeful. Whilo eu a
visit recently to Mr. John Hendrix, who lives
below boro, nour tho Anderson lino, my atten
tion was coiled to bis orop of oom, winch is
very good indood. Tho cars aro largo and
woll filled. Ho claims that ho has tho best
socd oom anywhere norn*. Special attontion
has boon paid to tho selection of corn for
seed, 8eleoting onoh year tho top oars and
th oso woll filled and per leal v. healthy. My
attontion was oallcd to tinco stulks on which
woro twolvo full grown oars. This oom was
grown, not on bottom land, but on a rather
high ridge It would bo a good thing if all
of our farmers would pay more attontion to
selecting and improving their seed, not only
of oom, but every thing olso.
Mr. P. N. Lindsay is our champion sweet
potato grower. Iliu crop is very good and ho
showed mo tho largest ono I havo evor seen.
Mr. John A. Johnson, of Duo Wost, Abbe
ville County, will teach at South Union this
year. His school oponed Monday, the 3d
instant. Mr. Johnson comos among us well
recommended and it is to bo hoped that ho
will Bccuro a good patronage from tho com
munity in which he has cast his lot. Wo
extend to him a hearty wolcomo nod our best
wishes.
Dr. J. L. McCurry thinks that there is
'No placo Uko homo." Ho has ornamented
his flower yard with a flowor pit and is
repairing his IIOUBO generally.
Sovcral of tho "young bloods" around hero
aro having buggies put up. This speaks well
for thom, you know, with tho fair POX.
Sovoral coots havo boen caught nour boro.
They must havo been blown in this direction

WE8T.MINBTBK. S. C., November 10, 1879.
Editors Kcowec Courier: In your issuoof]

and signed O. C., appears an article which,
whore its author is not known, docs injustico
to ?B and to our town. Tbcreforo wo ask
space in your columns to reply, and wc say
(but thc statements therein contained which
refer to usnsofficersoftbctown.arc, inouropin
ion, unwarranted, false and malicious. Above
all others this would-be distinguished fu?o?
lionary is ho who should never charge
any ono with being unduly officious sr dere
lict to duty. It has not occurred to us when
any violation bas been made known to tho
Intendant or any officer without proper cogi
nizanco of tho onmo being taken, or
when any good citizen or honornblo
man has been maltreated by a mar
shal with any view of profit to himself.
Ho says obsorvcr saw on ono occasion,
about lower end of street, negroes drunk and
trying to fight. Notwithstanding this Oak
way author is an officer of State, enjoined with
tho duty of seeing to tho enforcement of the
law and order, and ought at lcnBt to have
known his duty in tho premises; yet in tho
face of bis oath of ellice and of his solemn
duty to bis county, ho passes it by nnd seeks
in ti is baso and cowardly way to exhibit us lo
tho world as champions of drunkenness-evil
spirits, as it were, brooding over ibo place,
only to uppi'uSS tho Israel of the land. The
must eminent canso of drunkenness and dis-i
satisfaction, to us known, in our community,
in our opinion, is traceable to this Trial Jus?
