We regret to slate that last Friday the Ginhouse, Gin and gearing, with a quautity of cotIon, on Mr. J. K. Meng's plantation in thisCoun ..j, ncm ouriieu 10 ine grouua. Mr. Meng estimates his individual loss at over $3,000.? About 9 bales of cotton, belonging to other pnrties were also burned. The fire was purely accidental, but should be another solemn warning to e?'ery man who runs a gin not to take a caadle or any otl er open light into the lint room. Mr. Meng is truly unfortunate. Only a few weeks ago he had one of his hands badly lacerated by the gin saw. Almost ever since the war he has boen struggling to extricate himself from ante helium security debts, and he had begun to sop light through tho darkness, when this last calamity came to him. We sincerely sympathize with him. About Town. W. A. Nicholson's large now store house is rising as fast us wind and weather will permit. Mr. McNeace's handsome two-story building will soon be finished. It looks very City-like. Messrs. l'orter, Moses and Spears, Colton & Co., are each doing good business in the new block. P. M. Cohen and Gibhes k Co. expect to move into their new stores nbeat the first of January. Fair k Co'a extensive new building ie going up rapidly. It will be a very handsome store when completed. The one-story building next to the Hotel, when finished, will be occupied by J. P. Mullinax, Root and Shoe Maker, and Tho*. Nelson, Tailor. The beautiful dwolling of Reuben T. Gee, with.its Mansard roof, is near r enclosed and ad ls much to the good looks of .itwendof town. .Mechnnically, the town looks flourishing; financially there is not inuch flourish about it, although lusincss is looking up somewhat. The County and State Fairs. Quite a number of our citizens visited the Siato Fair last week, and returned highly delighted with whnt thoy saw and heard there.? They pronounce the Fair a decided success, in .point of numbers in attendance, the many attractions and financial results. Wo are $>leas4d to note that Union carried off a number ef Pre-' niiuins?some off them very valuable, as wilt be seen by the following, which wo take from the published awards : Heavy draft Brood Mare J.

Before tlio war Union made as good a Show in every department of the State Fair as. any County in the State, and we earnestly liope that now the way has again been blnzed it will hereafter resume its former prominence ut every annual exhibition of that yistitution. ^ While all nflrna Wir jfr &y,ociM in many respect, none dony that our County*" run- nifs equaiiy as succcssiul, so tar as tne oorapuritive quantity of articles oxhibited was considered, while in the quality of the articles, in almost every department at all allied to Agriculture, Mechanics and Domestic iudustry and economy, it was fully equal. No doubt the cattle exhibition at Columbia was larger and better than ours, for we must confess thnt iu that department we made but a poor showing, cither in number or the quality of the few shown.? We must do better next year, and, like Mr. Hunter, take them to Columbia for higher premiums. From what we can learn nil the County Fairs this year hnve been successes in every respect, and we hope it is the beginning of a new and more commendable order of things in all our industries. We hope hereafter to see a greater desire to learn of one another, and that that old self-conceited notion which so many entertained, that '-they know too much to be taught auy more'' will be entirely rooted out. On our first page will be found an article headed "Fairs ' the Farmers' School," which we asked every one of our subscribers to read, as it contains some well said truths. Let the annual County and State Fairs .become periods to which our Farmers, Mechanics, Wives, Daughters and boos,.look forward to with as much interest and delight, nnd prepare for with more energy nnd ambition than any other period of the year ; then wYll^rfcase. exhibitions be not only successful iu themselves financially, but eminently profitable to the people at lnrce and confer lasting benefits upou the State. Let all prepare now for having something in each line j of occupation to exhibit at the next County mid Slut* futis. - ? Death of Robert Garlington. With sincere regret wo announce the death of this pure citizen aud profound scholar, which occurred at Home, (Jeo., on the 27th of last month. Mr. Garlington was born in Laurens District in this State, "where he spent his youth and several years of his maturor life." He then moved to Newberry, and was elected Professor of Mathematics in the Lutheran College at that | place, lie was twice married, llis first wife was Miss Mary Williams, oldest daughter of the late Col. John D. Williams, of Laurens ; his second wife was Miss Jeter, sister of the lion. T. n ~??? o?*? ? ..... I'wtvi | |?v.u-ni ocuuiur irom i uts county, vvlio, | with four interesting children now mourn their irroparable loss in the death of a kind husband and father. Robert Garliugton was one of the purest men,.' in thought, word and deed, that we ever knew and although one of the brightest scholars in the country, his modesty was so g/eat that lie shrank from any public display of his intellectual abilities. It may truly be said of him that he was modest to a fault. A good mac has gone to hia long home. Somebody, in tlie Charleston Journal of Commerce, Dominates Hon. \Y. L>. Simpson for the expeeted vacancy on the Supreme [touch. A good nomination?ho could not liuve made a ueiier. No man in the Stale would confer greater honor upon that high position than the llou. \V. D.Simpson. The great objection to removing him from his present position,?being ex officio President of the Senate?is that Swuils, a colored member of dial body, whose skirts are not believed to be clean of the filth and offenses which attach to Nash and others who have considered it the better policy to resigu their positions, wilt succeed him, and preside over the Senate. We believe Swails was elected President at the last sessiou, but before the decision was made in favor of the Hampton government. ' Hut for this danger, our great admiration for the high talents and pure character of Col. Simpson would long ago have induced us tojpress his olauus toaseat upon the Supreme Henctj, if a vacancy should occur.

Beset has purchased h half iqtcrI est in the Abbeville /'rets and Banner, and will hereafter contribute to the already well merited popularity of that paper, ae its Assoeiate Editor. This will give our friead Wilson more time Is run round, and we sincerely hope he will be aa successful in finding seme one to take an interest in the other half of the concern. We can't see hew it is that such a good feMow as Hugh Wilson should remain so long in single misery. We are afraid he is too modest for his own good. Try a widow or two, Hugh,?they don't care a red how modest a inun is, if he's worth ''going fur"?they'll relieve you in your most modest moods, and got you into the matrimonial harness just as e-vs-y as putting on an old shoe! The good uomo of the Pre*-,? and Hamur ought, to get you half a dozen wives- if so many is necessary for your domestic bliss I ? I | I HI ' I = n - g For the Times. The Duty of True Demoorats. ^ ,, Greenville, Oct. HO, 1877. , Kuitor Union Times :?The signs of the times afe so plainly legible that rightly to construe t^e<njM|ftO deduce from them the lessons thoy toa\JVAppend a medicine only of that sense whjch "we call oorameo. ,In that policy of Mr. Ilnyes which has raised s^ many Democrats to the Seventh Heaven of oontent, hnd drawn upon him from the extremists of his ptfc-fy so mnny muttered anuthcinas and outspoken threats of defiance, we can find only good intentions ; so far, it is true, exhibited in croditnblc and praiseworthy docds; but having yet to meet in open field with a bitter partisan antagonist, to be pacified only by a greater or less concession to its demands. Already wo sco Mr. Hayes, with tlfe olive branch ofj peace in ono hand held out to the South, extending the other in quasi friendliness to the very creatures whose deliborato and unrelenting animosity towards tlie South made his policy of conciliation as much a necessity as it is claioicd to be an evidence of good will. "Hy their fruits ye shall know them;" and no one more than the present writer is more, ready to ay^a the full nfeimWic'&f liis^leserts. If.it be found that principle laid the cornerstone of that "Southern policy" of Mr. Hayes which, as it is iterated and reiterated, has inaugurated a time of jubilee, to be indefinitely prolonged, then the Democracy of tha South, on all question uot subversive ef established Democratic tenets, can and should be found a force to which he may not in vain appeal, but ??uu me poiui must ue imuie nerc ?snoutu Mr. Hayes lower that standard of honorable observance of constitutional law and spirit which he has invited all true patriots, regardless of party, to support; if, in a word, lie he found construing his duty to "party" as justification fcr patronage of the declared and implacable enemies of his "policy,'' it is no more a ques lion what the Democracy of the South shoul i dc in the premises. The Southern Democracy, in Ajuoli. ?t)se, must be n unit of coustitutiona opposition; the "Solid South" must, whilst bid ing its lime for ultimnte deliverance from "lie publicau domination," maintain its ranks un broken, and regard ns traitors and outlaws all who, for self nggrandizemeat, would tamper wit 1 its declared principles. It is not to indulge in the g'.oomy utterance: of the pessimist to assert that, from whatcve cause, general demoralization, political, religion and commercial, rules the times. If all that is im plied in the term organization bo net, in leltei us well ns in spirit, rigidly maintained, nvenue: of approach will "be left ungarde I by which wil enter insidious influences, from at home and abroad, fatally detrimental to that unity and so lidity of attitude which alone can prevail to tli I ailimatco. crtlirow of unit-constitutional aggros sion, ami to tlie restoration of a Government <1 ngUiy mIiuaIajIaiiiI ro?tiniiMillie power. There nre "powers'' now operating in tlii Country, of a potency for evil unknown to or to little appreciated hy the Statesmen of past times anil notably amongst thciu is that power of wealtl centered in individuals and corporations; fron the malign influences of which how many of tit honorably mighty have fallen, and how man; of the safeguards of popular free Govermcn have been weakened ! There is a possibility?call it, if you will, i strong probability?that this and other power for evil will be sternly rebuked and bid to stau aside at the next Presidential election. If w would sec this probability a certainty, we shnl not allow ourselves to be blinded by the mist; haTtrnf Mr. Hayes' Southern or any other "pol ify." hut, whilst rendering unto Ctosar th things that arc Caesar's, carefully see to it thai v?Jel*our lamp* kept trimmed and burning, w wait for the advent of such a Democratic victor in 1880 as will, de facto as well as de jure, con sign all "policies" and all parties that canno show on their face the broad seal of the Const! tutiou of cur fathers, to the lumber rootn u moral and political monstrosities. llriefly, our victory is before, not behind us.Comment on this very palpable truth is neediest H. E. For the Times. From Skull ShoalsMk. Editor :?The people of this section nr now very busy trying to finish gathering tltei crops. Some havealrtady begun to sow wheat,am from what I can learn, a much greater area t'tai usual will be seeded litis season. This is, it doubt, a step in the right direction, for the soi is improved by a rotation of crops and wcll-fillc< garners of wheat are a well-spring of prosperi ty to any people. Fer the farmer to be inde pendent as he should be, it be tooves us that hi should raise a full supply of corn, pork, am flour. TheMfney expended annually for thesi articles will nl once account for the atringencj in regard to money matters. Another drawbacli to our prosperity is tlio disposition of many ol ur farmers to increase the acreage of tlicit landed, estates, which for the most part is i dormarrt capital. Less territory, more develop meat, Setter cultivation, should be the watch words, The old idea of a pretty little wife ant biy plantation has, to some extent, given pine to the more intelligent consideration of the mod ern sage and philosopher, viz: A little farn well Ulled, a little house well filled, a little wif well willed, give me ! give me !
