We are ouly able to issue a half sheet of the | Times this week, iu cuusequence of one ol our compositors leaving us very unexpectedly We supposed that nil our arrangements had been sat" isfaclorily made, for the winter At least, but on | Saturday morning, while at breakfast, we were notified, greatly to our surprise, that ouc of our young men would leave that day for school iu Ch .rlvston. There are no printers lyiug around loose" iu Uuion, and as none but a person who could set type would be the least service to us, | we found ourself iu a tcry unpleasant dilemma. And to make our difficulty still worse-, on Wednesday our principal hand was attacked i with chills and fever, au>l is now unable to woik< ! and this half sheet has been almost gotten out by two small, boys neither of theui more than 15 years old. The work in a newspaper office is nut like any other we can now think of. There is just so much work to be doue every week, by a certain hour to meet the mails, and none hut printers enn do that work. No office can afford to keep I au idle hand about it, fur au emergency, bach one iu the office must do hie allotted chare of the work, and to do that he has no time for idling. If time is lost it must be made.up before the next paper is issued, or tbe mails are misse I and the ? iitor is assailed by subscribers iu every part of the couury for delinquency. And we cannot woudcr at such complaints, for many subscribers iibh: iu go irum two 10 iour nine.* to a postottice Tor their paper an J if it is not there 011 the day expected it causes not merely disappointment, but iuvolves jreat loss"cTf time and uuicli inconvenience ! so it will be seen that n printing office is mucli like a clock?its hands must move reg ular and constant, and if anything interfere* 1 with its working it must either stop outright 1 or be in danger of being cast aside as unreliable and, consequently, worthless* Shall vc Have a White or Negro Government 1 < The white people of South Carolina cannot 1 afford to, nay, they dure not, let the State go ' back into the hands of the negroes. They are I not in such flourishing condition as to be ubleto stand eight more years of oflicial stealing, ex ( travipance nnd corruption. i Hide it uuuer whatever captivating name you i miy, outside the democratic party in South Carolina, it is nothing but the negro Republican , party and, as was plain in the last Republican , i Convention, if any but the democratic party is ( | elected the negro will demand, and command, an, equal share irrespective.of capacity, of the | State, ami County offices, litre the intelligent property owners of Uuion nnd throughout the State with the terrible experience they have had, willing again to risk the Slate and County governments in the hands of such men as June Mobley, Jim Depcau, Whippcr, l'unis, Cardozo, Smalls, and the like of them?

As many enquiries are made as to whether ; there will be a County Fair this year, we will | stute that arrangements have heeu completed to | have the annual Fair, commencing the J4th and | ending the 26th of this month. The premium lis: was handed to us for pubI licatiou last week, hut it was immnssililo IVir nu !

The premium list is it bout the sutnc as last i year, embracing almost every article produced | i 011 the farm, manufactured in the shop, or made by the skillful hands ol' the Lulies. The accommodations of the Fair grounds have been improved and every arrangement male for the best display of articles, I be comfort and suft ty of animals exhibited and the pleasure of visitors. We would suggest that hereafter the Premium List be published a tew months before the Fair, to give parties time to prepare fur it, uud not left to the last moment almost, creating great doubt whether there will be an exhibition, thereby causing many, who would make and prepared articles for exhibition, not to do so, for waut of time. ??? ?

Cash, after a very turbulent and noisy procession through the in| streets, was addressing a crowd of noout 700 T, negroes. Mr. Carter, editor ot the Ledger, had taken his position on the stand as reporter lor his paper, nud ('ash was profuse in his nbuso of the Legislature and charged that the planters p'.< and farmers were cheating the negroes out of their earnings. _ The negroes were drinking at the stand and ' were wrought up to a high pitch, ('ash, it is said, would turn around to Carter and make repeated remarks that he, although he would ' not vote for him, was his sympathizer. Carter in theu asked Cash to allow liitn to reply. Cash said certainly, and remarked thut he should have a respectful hearing Carter attempted to reply, but the negroes would nut hear Iiiui.? >? Cash asked iheui to be quiet, but it did no good, and Carter and the negroes getting into a wrangle, Cash left the stand and went direct to his To room at the hotel. The negroes were drinking and they had a jug of whiskey near the stand. Carter being promised both by Cash and the county chairman a reply, still tried to speak hut fol the nigroes cow Jed so up in the stand that the stand broke down. Thereby being grcitljr infuriated (lie e.owd took hold of Cater und dragged bun oil'I he stand, nud he would have been nn kdled had it not been for Albeit Clintou nud Ed. co ?ittiii:vr ami oiiu'i-rs. ] Afterwards a luge number of ncgiots mounted on horse* anil ariucd with pistols rode through the streets of Lancaster. A negro named Crock- 8'' ett with a pistol buckled around hitc headed the gi procession, and on passing a street corner where a while matt was standing, said "There is the d?d rascal who did the firing." The white man told hint that he lied, whereupon Crockett v< pulled out his pistol and fired at the white innit, gt the ball narrowly missing his bend and passing m through the coat of another white ntati who was I standing by. Three our four shots were fired at ] Crockett, who fell from It s horses dead. The fir- I log lorn became general, and three untie negroes ' were killed and six wounded The negroes then l_ rode iulo another part of the town and hulted. I Setiotts fears were entertained that they would renew the uttnek, and to prevent further blood- c* shed the Inlendaut of Lancaster sent to Chester li for aid. The disturbance was, however, quieted t) down without the use of the military. It is not known whether there were any casualties among the whites. Col. Cash remained in Ins room front the beginning of the trouble until he left this e: morning on the train for Chester. ,| The following ate the names of those killed on the spot, viz: Willi tin Crockett, Tin mas Cunningham and Nathan Cureton, and Mack 1" Mobley difd the next day front his wounds, ft The iiillowing were fearfully but not fatallv inj it red : Hansom Itrowu, Joseph Foster and William Cureton. About eight or ten were slightly 18 w?.untied. The wounds of the whites were very slight. There were t wo or three mules killed outright and several wounded. c( The wife of Mack Mobley testified before the inquest that Mack stated before he died that the while people were not to blame for lite trouble; v that thu blacks had brought it all on themselves, p and it is said many others of the colored people j, say the same thing, and some say that the colored women are largely responsible for the Iroub- 01 hie. lint who will not believe that the speaking o together with the whiskey had utuch to do will* p the affair ?

September c V5 ?on Saturday night, the Vlld, n large crowd of negroes bad congregated with a few white Green- rl buckets in front of the bar room run by "the Greenback nominee for Stale Treasurer, W. li. j Stanton. Some of the negroes became boisterous, using profane and vulgar language, wheu the marshal of the place, Mr. W. D. Dickson, attempted to hush it up,|wheretipon some twentyfive or thirty negroes tushed upon hiut with j sticks and clubs, indicting a serious wound in the head. Mr. Dickson fought manfully, knocking down two a it It his club. Mr. William Hamilton started to his assistance, but was met by a brickbat over I lie eye from one of the crowd.? There were several white Qeeubackers near by, but they did not offer nny nsaistance. It is i bought I bat the thing was "cut and dried" No i ndignation meeting has been held, hut the good citizens are fully aroused. Two negroes, Henry I'erry end Hem Itohcreon, have been arrested nttd loilged in the calaboose. Some of the good citizens in the surrounding country say that the little nest of Greenhackers here have injured the reputation of Seneca City to such an extent that it will take years to get over it.
