The Greenville Mountaineer states that a "combi? nation ticket" waa run in Anderson, and seems to be under thc impression that such a ticket was successful. This is a mistake, and we make the correction for several reasons, unnecessary to meu tion. The regular Democcraiic ticket was elected throughout, and there was no combination, except so far as the Radical party put out another ticket, composed entirely of Democrats, and got defeated by a "combination" of true, genuine Democracy. ?:-o BAYNFS INDIA RUBBER SCEUBBEH. "We are indebted to MessrB. Sharpe & Fant for a ?'sample copy" of this useful invention, which is intended to assist house-wives in these days of un? certain and unreliable labor. Thc scrubber is very cheap and quite simple in its construction, and possessen an additional merit of being a South? ern invention, manufactured by Jons Alexander & Co., Columbia, S. C. Every household in the District should*be supplied with ene of these arti? cles, and wc are confident that Sharpe & Fant will take pleasure in keeping a full supply until this has been accomplished. -9 ? MASONIC CELEBRATION AT WALHALLA. - The Masonic fraternity at Walhalla have dotcr amed tc- observe St. John's Day, 24th of June, in an appropriate manner, and for this purpose have invited Grand Master Orr and others to deliver addresses on that occasion. Tho usual notice from the committes of arrangements will be found in our columns to-day. Wc are authorized to extend an .invitation to members of Hiram Lodge, No. C8, and Burning Bush Chapter, No. 7, to unite in the contemplated celebration. If application be made early enough, wc have no doubt that President Hammett .would take pleasure in affording the Ma? sons in. .thia vicinity, an accommodation, train on thc 24th, provided ?hat a sufficient number of pas? sengers be obtained. Business engagements will .prevent us from attending, and we can only offer a heartfelt wish for much pleasure and enjoyment to those more favored, and that the occasion may redound to the honor and glory of Masonry, and to the credit of our Walhalla biethren. - THE LATE DEMO CB ATI C CONVENTION. We publish the proceedings in full of the Con? vention recently held in Columbia, and direct the attention of our readers to the first page of to? day's issue for complete information as to the ac? tion of that body. There were ten Districts rcp 'resenfed, several of them by a single individual. The Charleston Mercury and Columbia rh?nix, representing the two wings of the Democracy in this State, have both announced in substance that the party is now united in policy and sentiment, although each of those popers take a differeut view of the substantial results produced. We arc not disposed to utter one word tending to bring about drvisioD in our ranks, and will not, there? fore, comment, freely on the recent meeting in Co? lumbia. . If our friends in Edgefield and Charles? ton are -satisfied, so are we of the up-couutry. They are now pledged lo sustain the party, and we trust will work earnestly and persistently for a Democratic success in the Presidential contest? not merely resolve, but put into practical execu? tion saeh measures as will show forcible, actual resistance at the ballot-box against Radicalism. Let ur fight the Radicals, and keep peace among ourselves. ^?*- - THE ANDEBSOH---?T?MOCEATIC CLUB?ITS - PAST;"PRESENT AND FUTURE. Now that thc unity of the Democratic party in South Carolina h'as been accomplished, and our friends everywhere are preparing to make the most strenuous efforts to carr}- this State for thc Demo? cratic nominee for President?whoever tl.at may bc?we are admonished that the actual condition of affairs at home does not evince that degree of en? ergy and activity necessary to a ti nal triumph ul our principles. We allude particularly, to the or? ganization known as the "Anderson Democratic Club," which was formed among thc first in the State, and has undoubtedly rendered good service in its brief career. This club was originally in? tended as a forerunner and au example to our fel? low-citizens throughout the district, and was not organized upon the basis of a Central Club, hav? ing power and authority to act for the people gen- j erally. Its suggestions, however, received a fa? vorable consideration among all classes, and its | ?action has been endorsed in every instance. Other clubs have organized in almost every section of the District, and in this way the original intcn- ' tion of the Anderson Club has been fully accom- I pl ?shed. But what arc thc facts now? The immediate, pressing necessity which stimulated action in the first instance has passed away, it is true, and yet there is greater need in the future for combined, earoost effort than at any period hitherto. Thc Anderson club, of course, expects to aid in thc good work, but its present organization docs not warrant the same exercise of authority as ia the beginning of our triumphs, and cvory oue must feel a delicacy in thrusting himself forward as the spokesman of an entire party when there arc so many mediums all around to give expression to its sentiments. In other word?, the club at this place, under present circumstances, cannot undertake to give direction to party mensures, when lhere are fifteen clubs in. thc District, perhaps, organized on an cquaLfooting, aud as fully empowered lo exer? cise authority. Further than this, the Presiden? tial contest will som begin, and it is important that every effort be made to obtain voles for thc Democratic nominee. Advice and counsel from some quarter will become indispensable, and the various clubs are deeply iuterestcd in having a recognized head from whence to obtain this advice. This necessity becomes reciprocal, then, and the ' re organization of thc Anderson Democratic club, upon the basis of a central club for the District, in j a natter of general importance. If our friendi! agree with the viuws herc pre? sented ?0 briefly, and recognize the necessity for j united, diligent and concerted action, we sincerely i trust ilirl this agreement will be manifested in a| practical manlier; and in the event that cur hon- | ored Trcsidont cols proper to call a meeting at an I etiSij dav io re-urganac the club upou a pernio- i neat toot.?.g.

Mr. Editor: Your correspondent "M." 1 touched a chord thai should vibrate to thc heart every person employing laborers on thc farm elsewhere. South of Mason & Dixon's line. I as we are not expected to provide for thc pol i ti' and domestic welfare of friends and fellow-suif ers abroad, we shall confine our remarks to t District alone. We admit a >lprestiny"?yon, nn irrepressible ", cesxity"?for the adoption of some means by whi farmers may command a moro reliable system labor. No argument i~ needed to convice tIic who have tried cropping-frecdmen for the li thrco years, of thc utter inefficiency anil suicii policy of that plau. If any were necessary, might bc found on the plantations pretended be cultivated by thc "so-called" best hands in t country. In the rotten fences and dilapidai farm-houses?in the neglected ditches and ri spots of ground and fcuce-comers overrun w: briars?horses abused?defectivo cultivation?li rising and slow commencing work?keeping gu and hunting squirrels when the plow ought run?in being insolent and unamiublc in their i tercour3e with employers?in refusing to do ar thing outside of the growing crop, and many 01 er like things which thc orpericr.ee of thc farir will readily supply. Farmers cannot afford employ one sett of hands to cultivate the soil, a another to repair thc premises at the usual rc rates of this country. Three years ie about long as a small farmer can afford to experiment this department. Hence, some of thc more p: dent farmers arc already dropping the cxperime in disgust?impatient, provoked and disccurag by the unsuccessful and futile eifert. These fa ures are the legitimate effect of employing uure able labor. To make farming r.leasant aud pro table, wo must have a reform in this respect. 0 system of labor must bc reconstructed, not ; military force, but by moral suasion, and the coi bined, reciprocating wisdom of employers, su ported by the Letter classes of laborers. T native freedman is belier aduptcd in all rospeci except volition, to perform thc labor of our cou try than any wc can procure. Ho must work ai live among us, for he can't get away, and -\ have no desire to go. Hence we are called upi by a pressing duty to ourselves, to the freedmi and to pociety, to bring our minds together ai devise some plan for the management of labor the District. Dy organizing a Farmer's Associ tion, and adopting rules and regulations, and a hering to them scrupulously, uevery farmer te protect every other fanner, and ly every o/h'r farm bc protected." This is one of the things cvci farmer feels that he needs in these times of unco tainly. But this is not the only good to bo anti ipated from such an organization. It must have powerful iufluence in harmonizing, civilizing ai moralizing the freedman. If the plan of rcqu ring a certificate of industry and moral chamen should bo adopted, thc moral, industrious free< man suffers nothing, while the opposito class a: forced by example and ncccrsity to mend the ways iu order to secure employment. This woul ?be the commencement of making labor more relit ble, and of course more remunerative. F.mploj ors can well afford to pay higher wages for reli: ble labor, and freedmen will moke better crops ft themselves and employers, always having in vie tho certificate which must accompany the next rn plication for r place. This will produce harmon and a co-operative interest in the welfare of cac other, and make farming a most delightful an self-sustaining busiucss, even in this persecute land of ours. But wc have already written more than man farmers will have time or inclination to rcai In conclusion, allow me lo insist on your immedi ate and thoughtful attention to this subject. Lc us have a mass meeting and a serious talk togeihe about the matter, and if wc fail to devise mean to regain our lost fortunes, we may lay the faun dation of important rosuits to posterity, and in sure to ourselves more plentiful harvests in th future. I respectfully suggest that this Mass Meeting t> Farmers take place at Anderson Court- House 01 the 18th of July next, und that "M." hold h i msc! in position to disgorge his lucubrations en tin subject then and there. And to the cad that lint matter may be brought to the serious notice o farmers everywhere, let primary meetings bc heh in every neighborhood for deliberation and dis mission, so that when wc come together it may bt for edification and hearty co-operation in th< great desideratum of tho times. 2s. HURDER IN KERSHAW DISTRICT. Thc following accouut of the recent murder in Kershaw District is copied from tho Camden Journal : Solomon C. \V. Dill, Representative elect from this District, together with a negro man, named Nester Ellison, who we understand, had been nct I ing in thc capacity of gitardman for Dill, were killed at the house of thc latter on Thursday night last about b o'clock, and Mrs. Dill seriously wounded at thc same time. Thc particulars, lnr as we have been able to learn them, are as follows : It appears that DUI, his wife, a white man by the name of Taylor and his wife and Ellison were in 1 >.'.?< house The first intimation that they had of thu presence uf any one else, was a phot, which took effect upon Ellisun, who immediately got up io run when he was felled by another shot. Dili was next shot from behind, having two buck-shot through his neck, one of which struck just above tho left ear coming out in the cheek. Mr?. Dill was shot in attempting toescHpe, her thigh broken. Taylor ran out. of the house us soon as thc firing commenced, badly frightened, so badly indeed, that although he was in it fence corner touching thc road, and saw. two men pas? and even heard them whisper nud noticed that they spoke rapidly, and although the muon was full and not a cloud iu the sky, he could not toll whether they were white cr colored. So far as we are informed, there has been very Utile excitement among tho negroes in relation lo ! the murder. Thc general desire, expressed by j them being that every effort should bo made to de- | tect the guilty, but that thc innocent should not | suffer. ??n Tuesday an inqnest was held over (he dend ? bodies hy .1 K. Witherspoon, who rendered Ihe following verdict: timi the parties carno lo their death from trun shot wounds iu the bandit of per? sons to the Jury unknown. On Sunday th" bodies of Dill and Ellison were brought over to Camden, and Mineral services per? formed in thc coloi eil Methodist Church, after which they wr.ro interred, the former in the whilo and the hitter in the colored burial ground. Thc fanerai procession was a Tory large one, composed exclusively of blacks. On Monday afternoon, n detachment of U. S. Soldiers arrived, the object of whose visit wo arc informed is to detoe!; if possible, the perpetrators of the murder. Ai rests have been made of sever Pl respectable while men. merely upon suspicion. We do uot kuow upon whnt grounds the suspicion I is haded, or what disposition is io be made of the ( pari""? arrested, but feel confident uot a tittle uf t.v,Jcnco r?m i>" produced to conner them with th? perpetration of the deed. j For the Anderson Intelligencer. Ma. Editor : Some time ?ince I saw in your j jier the constitution of the Fiat Rock Dci.iocr ? Club. Thc sixlh.article reads as follows : ! "That wo wiU.not rent land, or employ any to work the same, who takes a part of the-cro] wages, unless they agree to pay their pro i share of the taxes on said land, nnd thus make land tax equitable on all who cultivate the sa or any part thereof." I had hoped, sir, to see more on the same t joct from other quarters, but so far wc have b disappointed. It is undoubtedly suggestive of wisest and most efficient plan for protect against Radical aggression and iniquitous legi tion of anything that I have seen. You kt that it has been suggested, aud pretty woll ust lained, that while the Republican party w moved alone by a low, vile, despicable purposi seek vengeanco upon a brave, magnanimous, do j trodden people, yet they would not dare by dir positive legislation to confiscate thc landa of South, but would produce, practically, the si result by a plan more insidious, and but little 1 effectual, which is lo put a tax on real estate burdensome that thc owner would be compellcc sell at an enormous encrifice, aud thus not o support the party in most abominable and un] c?dent ed extravagance, but also practically vclop the "JO acre" idea, which no doubt hash a very effectual electioneering hubby in sc sections. Now, sir, the plan suggested iu the above a eic, if generally adopted by all the landholder: the State, becomes a powerful argument to mind of thc voter; and not only so, but will \ duce a telling influence upon the action of Legislature, which is, of course, but the expon of the domiuaut party. This plan is* not intern to relieve us of taxation, but to place it cpo just, and ?quitable basis. Any system of tax?t is not only wrong in principle, but most pemici in its results, which seeks to oppress one port of thc community for the protection of anotl Let any man who makes his living from soil, whether owner or tenant, be made practice to feel his connection with the system of tax?t i and you will thereby produce such a divers from this favorite scheme of confiscation as * be decidedly beneficial lo the country. It \ not be denied that every man has a right to ? tate the terms on which his own land shall bc c rivaled. If, then, all should unite upon this pr ciple, it would become practically, to all iute and purposes, the law of the land, lt become: bulwark to the landholder, who is otherwise i fenceless. If an onerous tax should be levied the merchant or manufacturer, he has thcresou: of defence within himself, lie may place sud profit on his goods as will indemnify him agni all losses, nnd thereby make the consumer sh: with him the burden of taxation. But, fdr, I have already extended this arti beyond what I intended. I only desire to call i attention of tho people to this Flat Rock artic and suggest that thc various D?mocratie Clubs the Statu give it a careful consideration.

And Satan smiled when his eyes first rested on his last born and favorite bantling. Special gjto&ts. Masonic Celebration.
