Announcing Candidates five dollars, in *1lvance. Democratic Success. The Hon. Samuel Dibble, of Orangeburg ounty, the Democratic nominee, has been vlooted to Congrass from the Second District, a fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of ae lion. M. P. O'Connor. The Republicans made no contest, Mickey prefering the chan ,es of securing his seat under the election of 'lst fall, when he was a candidate against Nir. O'Connor, and whose seat, lie was con :.esting when Mr. O'Connor died. Mr. Dibble Is a gentleman of fire charac. Ler, fair abilities and will make a good re presentative. A Graded School. We are informed that it is the purpose of Professors Dreher and Cary to establish, about the first of September next, a graded iohool at this place. Professor Dreher is a teacher of experience and once held a pro. fessorship in Newberry College at Walhalla Mr. Cary is a graduate of that College, and haW been the successful head of the high school at this place for the past five months. No place in the State affords more- or better facilities for a graded school t)ian Pickens, and by the aid and co-operation of our peo ple, we believe these gentlemen will succeed .in their undertaking. We will have more to fay about this Important subject in the future, but in the mean time we hope that either Professor Dreher or Professor Car- (or both) will favor the public, through our columns, with the particulars of their plan. The voters of Laurens county, voted on the question of a subscription cf $76,000 to the Greenville and Laurens Railroad, and $76,000 to the Greenwood, Laurons and Spartanburg Road, on the 9th instant. Both subscriptions were carried by a majority of 1,820. Green viele county has already voted $76,000 to the Greenville and Laurens Road, which with the $76,000 now voted by L-ntrons county, will build the road between the two places. The Greenville News advises the commencement of work at. once, and entertains a lingering hope of Greenville yet securing the Virginia Midland. We hope all these roads and others may be built in our State. They will give our people more market and mall facilities, enhance the value of real estat3; cause fac tories to spring up and immigrants to come amongst us, and add thousands of dollars to the taxable property of the State. The dead lock still continues at Albany. The usual Republican method of carrying an election, bribery, lhae been'r esorted to. One Bradley, a st alwart, Conkling representative, placed $2,000 In the hands of the Speaker of the House, 'which lhe swears was offered him as a bribe to desert Conkling. Hie swears that Senator Sessions, the leader of the anti Conkling faction gave him the money. An investigation is in progress. Other members of the Legislature are making statements that they have been offered bribes. There is nothing unusual in this attempt, or actual bribing of Republican legislators, but it is unusual for them to confess the fact and give up the money. Seneca City la excited over the finding of diamonids in that vicinity. Some of the aewspapers are incredulous about it, and seem to think there has been some "salting" done; the Seneca Journal protests that such is not thie case, and that there Is no humbug gery about it. WV. HI. Priester was tried in Blarnwell last week, for the .killing of his father. lie was .ibly defended by the lHon. Robert Aldrich, aind acquitted on the grounds of insanity. Judge Mackey, the despatch says, sentenced the prisoner to the Lunatic Asylum for life. This Is th~e first instance we ever heard of a Jiudge sentencing a prisoner to a lunatic asylum, but we are not surprised as Judge Mackey did it. The chairman of the Repsblican party of North Carolina has Issued' an address to the Republicans of that State, advising them to oppose prohibition and make it a party issue. A cyclone passed over a portion ot the State of Kansas on the 9th inst. doing much damage and killing several persons.

The Cotton Eahimon. Col. A. P. Butler, our indeltigable Com missioner of Agriculture, is doing all he can to' have Wouth Carolina properly represented at the Cotton Exhibition whieh is to be held at Atlanta, Oeorgia, Ootober 5th, 1881. The following oircular from the Commis, sioner.egplains itself: CoxxusuIosua or AorioULTUR, CoLUMPIA, 8. 0., May, 1880. DUAIL SIR: At the last, regular session of the Legislature an act was passed creating an Agricu tural Department. This is an impor. tant recognition of the rights of the planters, I and I sincerely trust that I may have their C co-operation in the effiont to develop the resour ces of our State. We will soon havew at thewoomis of the Com missioner, in Columbia, cases or apartments for each County, and it I& our desire to exhib it the products of every County; and we re quest that every citizen will feel that this cir cular Is directed especially to him and aid the Department by all means in his power. The Commissioner will neglect nothing that will advance the agricultural and mechanical in dustries of the State, and he confidently relies upon the people to sustain him. We desire to have samples of the producte of every County. They will be carefully ar ranged in the proper cases and plainly marked I with the name of County and contributor, We want specimens of wheat, corn, oats, peas, rye, barley, rice, buckwheat, flax, peanuts, tobac co, cotton, millet, clover and grasses, dried I fruit, chufas, molasses, wines, woods minerals, stone, marble, any article used for agricultu. ral or mechanical purposes manufactured in the State, native birds, insects, and, in short anything and everything that will show- the wealth of the County, aid and encourage home manufactures and prove interesting to visitors. The importance of having such an' exhibit at the capitol is apparent. It will be our best advertisement in showing our wonderful re sources, and more can be learned In this way, by strangers seeking information, in a day, than in a year's travel. It will be a fine me dium of exchange, purchase or sale of seeds to our own people, and in learning more of our capabilities. I earnestly appeal to you to aid me in this great work by sending any article for exhibition that you think would be at all interesting. They should be plainly marked and addressed to A. P. Butler, Commissioner of Agriculture, Columbia South Carolina. The Department will pay all expenses of ship ping. Very respectfully, A. P. BUTLEn, Oommissioner of Agriculture. In addition to the above, the Commissioner writes us personally on the opposite bide of the circuler, which we take the liberty of publishing, as it gives more fully than we could do, the purposes of the Department, and the importance of having the County properly represeuted: COLUMBIA S. C., May 24, 1881. DEAR SIR: The Cotton Exposition to be hold at Atlanta Georgia, Oct. 5, 1881 promises to be of immense benefit to the entire South. In addition to the exhibition of cot ton fabrics, and machinery for the manufacture of the same it Is contemplated to exhibit Agricultural and forest products and minorals. It. is of the greatest importance that the South Carolina exhibition should be creditable to the State -- 1t will be a splendid advertisement of our re sources and will largely contribute t~o the in,. ducement of capital and immigration. We appeal to you personally to assist us in mak,. ing a collection of our products. We earnest,. ly desire that every County shall be properly represented and in making this appeal to you we feel that you will render the Depart mont every assistance in your power to make a proper showing for your County. Beside the articles mentioned on the opposite side of t his sheet we want the largest pumpkin, gourd, ear of corn, boll of cotton, stalks of corn and 4 cotton &c., &c. that you can send and fruit of all kinds. The fruit should either be preo served in alcohol or forwarded so as to reach < us before it has matured. We request that all contributions will be forwarded at the earliest practicable time, so < that we may have space allotted us in Atlanta. Trusting that you will feel an interest in this 4 matter, I am very truly yours,1 A. P. BUTLaR, Commissioner of Agriculture. This Is a matter of great importance to the. farmers of our County, and they should tak e great pride in having the County creditably represented. They will observe that the Department proposes to pay all expenses of transportation, and if they will forward us samples of any or all the articles mentioned, we will properly label and forward as re quested, to the Department. We consider Pickens one of the best Counties In the State, and shall feel very much chagrined if she is not creditably represented at the Exhibition. So we trust the farmers will send in their articles and see that there Is no failure. Let us show Pickens off for once. A Gary Memorial Fund. At a meeting of the Democratic Executive Committee of Edgefield County, recently, steps were taken to raise a memorial fund for the purpose of erecting a monument to the mem, ory of General M. W. Gary. Upon this sub,. ject we take from the resolutions adopted by the committee the following: "8. That, for this purpose, we recommend that a mass meeting of the citizens of Edge., field county be held at Edgefield C. H., on Monday, the 20th instant, to take measures for raising a Gary Memorial Fund, to be ex pended in the erection of a monument, statue or bust of the great soldier and statesman, as may be hereafter determined. 4. That we cordially invite the Democratic Executive Committe~s of sister counties, and our fellow citizens throughout the State, to co-operate with us in raising a Gary Memo rial Fund." The French Broad Railroad. President Bradley is pushing the work on this road with his usual energy and judgment. Lie has a complete force sut-veying the route and reached Abbeville the other day, and is going on in the direstica of kiue West. Cap tamn Kirk, a skillful esgiineer is doing his' part of the business with good judgment and aiieod. The signs are all propitious. Very' likely the road will run along ,the Blue. Hill and strike town on the opposite side from( Fort Pfckens as we thought would have been best. If the Blue Hill Is the best route no reasonable man should object. We confes we know nothing about railroada except ri ding on them and therefor-e .don't pretend to a be authority. Mr. Bradley says he has no doubt thie road will be graded beyondthis place In the .conree of twalye month s. He says the grading can be done for $00 a mile 'which will be cheap ndeed. WVhen finished we will be on a great through-lhne from the Atlantis to the North west, and the dream of thme progressive men before the war will be realIed.--Abberile Medium.---,.. Our WshMgton Lettar WASUINGTON, June 12, 1881. To those sooutomed to observe the eourse of ivents from the standpoint of the National "Spital, and to note the vibrations of the poll. leal pulse as they are to be seen here, the igns of disintegration and utter dissolution if the party in power could not be more dis. inotly marked than they are at this time. It 9 as if the edict were written in large chars. era upon the wall of the Capitol building. A >arty with nothing to hold it together but the iohesive power of spoils, and beset on every ide with conflicting interests and personal Luarrels, cannot long exist under any circum-. tances- but when, besides this, it is reeking rith corruption and its leaders have lost not on y the confidence of each other but of the rank tnd fic, and the party organs have set to abu ing opposite factions and threatening to "bust hings," the end is in plain sight. This is the sondition of the Republican party to-day. It is not the Conkling quarrel that is going ,o ruin the party, but it is those conditions hat make the quarrel dangerous; which it ias only aided in uncovering. The National Eepublican, for years the organ of the party iere, and now a strong supporter of Conkling, ias just taken a very significant position Its ditor, George C. Gorham, late candidate for 3ecretary of the Senate, was Dorsey's lieuten 6nt in Indiana and helped to distribute the mormous fund with which that State was purchased in October. He now declares that .he Republican party has come to be the party )f corruption and monopoly; that it no longer represents the people or has any principle, and that the present Administration is the oreature and embodiment of the great corpo ration monopoly power. This is strange talk to come from a Republican Journal but it is the truth. But for the active influence of the 3orporations and the money contributed by them or their representatives the party would have been beaten in the last campaign. The President elected knows whathe owes to these influences, and he has always leaned toward them. His first appointee to the Supreme Bench is a corporation attorney. The leading member of his Cabinet is a man who has been investigated by Congress for complicity in job, and who is believed to have prostituted his rormer position as Speaker of the House to the :orrupt service of corporations. Every icbheme Ihat has been before Congress for years ias had the support of James U. Blaine and or the Brazilian steamsihip subsidy of John Ioachi he was the especial advocate. We shall icar more of this later on. The star route scandal is hurting the party juite as much as did the whiskey ring expos ires The Posisister General and the Ator aey General, I now learn, are In dead earnest n their (det erminat ion to get to-the bottom of t, but among certain others in authority there e a desire to have the matter hushed. 'jet hey (10 not. see how to do it. Even if the P~resident. or Secret-ary Blaine were disposed to liscontinue the investigation they could not wtell do it, for the true inwardness of that yourse would be at once apparent. The mat er has gone so far that. it nmurt be allowed to ake its course. Meanwhile the local organs >f the ring are abusing the two Cabinet offi% sers engaged in the investigation and the de. ectives employed by them, calling daily upon lhe President to inter-fere. The evidence is low so comaplete that it will be laid before the grand jury at once and indictments may be ixpected in~ a few (lays. The office ofthe hixh Auditor of the Treasury, through which ho Post office accounts pass, has beeni cleaned ut. by the removal of Auditor McGrew and hief Clerk Lilly, so that no further obstruc ion, or covering up of evidence is to be en ountered there. There Is little news or stir in politics outside f the senatorial compliestlon in New York, >ut. in Government circles there is a good deal i flutter and excitement. RLeports of numer. uis changes In the different D~epuartm'ents are *u circulation and there has come to be little ioubt that. a number of heads will shortly fal. Bureau officers and chiefs who have had their lay will be called upon to make room for new blood. Dr. Loring will take charge of the Agricultural Department. July 1st; meanwhIle Le Duo is making hay while the sun shines. lie proposes to spend just as much of the ap. propriat ion for his Department before going ut as he can. To thIs end he is about to start on a trip to Colorado at Government ex, >ense. Pension Commissioner Bentley is also Ineasy. and those who ought to be posted say hat he may feel authorized to pack his trunk. Probably no official connected with the Gov rament could leave it and be as little regret ed, notwithstanding the fact that he has In omo respects made a good 0ommissioner.

EDITOR: As I see in TH N SENTIaNX., a request for items from every section of the County, I will give you a few from thi, point. The farmers are doing all they can, working almost day and night. I never saw better workers in my life than we has e in this neigh borhood, and It is all principally for Guano Companies. We hear grumbling about high taxes, "a fence" law, and all these things, but we hew no complaint if it takes the whole cotton erop to pay the guano bills. I don't condems the use of guano entirely, but, let us use iese of it and make more manure at home. This we can do by using lime, which cost hardly anything compared with the cost of Xsanes Th an if we fail to make a good crop, we can keep what we make instead of being com pelled to give e whole years work to the guano companies. Lime with rotten leaves and some rich soil will make just as good ootton as any guano-I tested the two last year side by side on the same land. If we would follow this Iplan, we could soon gpt out of debt, tax or no tax, and be able to pay the SBNTINEL for advertisements and sub. scription. I hope the people will take this matter Fto, consideration and begin in time, so as tobe able to keep at home the profits that go t& thke guano companies. Yours truly, The Cireuit Judges. The following compiled from the receratig~ published volume of Supreme Court Repoute,. showing ia how many cases the various C' cult Judges have been sustained and in hrew many overruled, may not be uninteresting; s our pro fessional readers: CASES.

Congressman Jorgensen, of Virginia, a tepumblican, predicts. that Mahione will be mashed politically, in the fall election. North Carolina copper and gold mines are booming. Balt imor..capitalists have invested $l,500,000 in one company. The mimes are situated in Davidson county. North Carolina, in tihe middle part of the .itate, six miles east of Lexington, the county seat, and four miles from: Conrad station, on the Richmond and Danvill Railroad, and two hundred and twenty miles from tidewater, at Richmond, Va. The Rome (Ga.) Courier estimates that Georgia farmers pay out for commercial for tilisers $6,000,000 per annum, the conse quence of which is penury at home and pal aces abroad. The profits of the cotton crop are absorbed by strangers. The South would be the richest country in the world if she would live more within herself. Notice to Creditors. J. C.
