ANDERSON C. H., S. C. THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. 7, 1872. a@* The Colrnrrbia Union says there is an unmailaWe letter in the Augusta post office for W. EL Scott, of Anderson^ S> C. Send a post? age stamp, and get the letter. U?* The mass meeting of the Republican party, advertised to take place in our town on Saturday .last, was a complete failure. There! were no speakers from abroad, and no attempt to get up a meeting. The enthusiasm for Grant has oozed out in this section. , t&* Two tracts of land were sold on last Monday, by order of the Probate Court, as fol? lows : One tract of 14$ acres, belonging to the Estate of Mrs. Jane Smith, deceased, for $1,850; one tract of 886 acres, belonging to the Estate ?f Robert Holland, deceased, for $1,460. 'jjgy- We learn that the railroad bridge over j Tbree-and-Tweuty Creek is rapidly approach- j ing completion, and trains will pass over with? in the next week. The energy of Col. Doda mead will be appreciated by the traveling pub- J Ec, as .the break has caused. serious inconveni- J euce. Au advertisement elsewhere gives the mformation that' the citizens of Pendleton have united in offering a reward of $500 for the apprehension, with proof to convict, of the J person or persons engaged in setting fire to the gin house of Mr. A. J. Sitton, in that town, on the night of the 29th of October. |^ We take pleasure in calling attention to the-advertisement of George S. Hacker, Esq., an enterprising citizen of Charleston. He is a native Carolinian, to the manor born, and is doing what he can to buildup the old State. We trust that he will receive a liberal patron? age and encouragement from our citizens. . S?~ The Charleston Courier says that Mr. James Brennan, editor and proprietor of the SbuViern Celt, is the only member of the news? paper fraternity who has been elected to the State Legislature since reconstruction. Our cotemporary is mistaken, as CoL W. C. Keith} the Senator elect from Oc?hee County, is editor of the Keowee Courier. He was also a member of the House of yjjppresentative elected in 1868. - ' .BS* The November number of the Southern Cultivator has been received. Its contents are varied, appropriate, instructive and entertain? ing: No farmer can read this pre-eminently I Southern Magazine, which is carefully adap? ted to the wants and situation of our farmers, without obtaining valuable facts and having I profitable trains of thought suggested. Pub? lished by W. L. Jones, Athens, Ga. Two dol? lars per an mm. .We direct attention to the advertise? ment of Capt. W. H. McDonald, who wishes i? rent,.lease, sell or work on shares the splen? did mine, on his farm,'seven'miles south of this place". It is a fine opportunity for capitalists, as ah examination by competent judges has re-, sealed the discovery of crystal and other quartz, magnetic iron, asbestos, &c. A full de? velopment of the several veins would make it profitable to the persons engaged in this work. ? ? m dOff* We invite attention to the dental card of Dr. W. G. Browne, who has recently located in our town, and occupies the rooms lately vacated by Dr. Gurley, on Granite Row. Dr. Browne is a native of this County, but has been a resident of Albany, Ga., for the past several years, where he won the esteem and confidence of the best and most prominent citizens, who recommend him as an honorable, high-toned gentleman, whose social, moral and profes? sional career in their midst was entirely satis? factory in every respect. We commend him to the patronage of our citizens. The Charade Entertainment. The Charades and Supper for the benefit of the Masonic'fraternity were liberally patronized by. the public last week. We understand that nearly $200 was realized from the Entertain- j went/which was open on Wednesday, Th?rs-j day and Friday evenings. The young folks acquitted themselves roost handsomely in the Charades, and deserve the thanks of the com? munity for this source of innocent recreation. Another Gin House Burnt. The gin house of Messrs. T. M. White and John W. Daniels, situated two and a half miles southwest of town, was entirely destroyed by fire on last Wednesday night. The flames were discovered a little after dark, and a number of persons weut to the scene of the conflagration, but it was too late to prevent a total destruc? tion of the building and its contents. We learn that the loss of the proprietors and otter persons will amount to about $2800. Nine bags of cotton, belonging to various parties, are inoluded in the loss sustained by the fire. The building was nearly new, and was constructed for milting and ginning purposes, but the mill portion had never been operated. The fire is supposed to have been accidental, as we are in? formed. Serious Accident. We regret to chronicle a serious accident to eur friend, Mr. A. W.Thompson, of Walhalla, which occurred in our town on Wednesday morning of last week. Mr. T. was riding in a buggy with another gentleman, drving in the direction of the Fair Grounds, and just after crossing the new bridge on Main street some disarrangement of the buggy shafts caused the horse to take fright, and the driver was either thrown out, or jumped from the buggy, carry? ing the lines with him, and leaving Mr. Thomp? son in a perilous position. In attempting to slide off the back of the buggy, Mr. T. was thrown violently to the ground, where he re? mained until assistance reached him. There were no bones fractured, but his left hip was so seriously injured by the fall and strain upon it that he has been suffering intensely ever since. He was taken to tho residence of his partner, Mr. T. J. Steele, and we are glad to report that his injuries are of a less dangerous character that at first imagined, with the pros? pect of no permanent disability arrisiug there? from. Our County Fair. The Fifth Annual Fair of the Anderson Farmers' and Mechanics' Association ended on Friday last, and was a complete and .thorough success in its most essential features. The number of eatries in some of the departments was not so great as last year, but the superiori? ty and excellence of articles and animals on exhibiticw fully compensated for lack of num I bers. The attendance of visitors on Thursday and Friday was truly gratifying to the mana? gers, and we were glad to observe the presence of numerous persons from surrounding coun? ty, manifesting a deep interest in the prosperi? ty of our Association, and giving full credit to the energy and enterprise of our citizens for the maintenance of so creditable an institution in our midst. Wednesday was chiefly occupied in making entries of articles intended for exposition in? side the main building, and the Secretary's of? fice presented a busy scene throughout the day, notwithstanding the disagreeable weather, which doubtless prevented persons from a dis? tance coming here on that day for the purpose of . making entries in the household, mechani? cal and other departments, in which the books were closed that evening.. The finishing touches to the main building and grounds were likewise given on Wednesday, in order that everything might be in readiness for the reception of visi? tors next morning, according to the published programme. : Thursday, contrary to general expectation, was more favorable as regards the weather, aud between eight and nine hundred people from all sections enlivened the scene. The Anderson Brass Band was in attendance, and furnished good music for the entertainment of the multi? tude. A preliminary exhibition of stock took place at noon, under the superintendence of the Committee on Horses, and the committees in all the other departments organized and made every possible progress in the discharge of their duties. The day was pleasantly and profitably spent by the visitors, examing the various arti? cles and stock ou exhibition, and mingling free? ly in social groups around the grounds and build? ings. Every one seemed delighted with the ar? rangement of the interior exposition, and we did not hear an adverse criticism upon the consruc tion and adaptability of the building, which appeared to meet with general favor and hearty approbation from every quarter. The day closed with no untoward event to record, and with all looking anxiously forward to the developments of the morrow, which was generally conceded to be the most attractive period of the Fair. On Friday morning, with bright and beauti? ful weather, the anticipated throng began to crowd the principal streets at an early hour. The gates of the Fair Grounds were opened at nine o'clock, and for two or three hours there was a steady stream in that direction. The number of people in attendance on the Grounds is estimated at from fifteen to eighteen hundred, while there was a large number of persons out? side the enclosure, and scattered over the town. Inside the building, it was almost impossible to obtain standing room for several hours, but the exhibition of stock again formed the centre of attraction, and the excitement on that subject rose to fever heat as the judges began to tie the bine and red ribbons. Thqjjeveral classes of horses and mules on exhibition were critically examined, and much time was necessarily oc? cupied with'this part of the programme. When the judges finally concluded, the entries for the trotting and pacing matches were in order, and the track was cleared for the trial of speed. There were several entries for each match, and every one appeared to have a favorite on the track, so eager and manifest was the interest dis? played. Mr.T. J.Steele's "White Stocking" won the trotting mc.tch, and Mr. S. M. Harbin's Black Stallion distanced the rest of the pacers. The distribution of Premiums took place inside the building immediately after the racing conclu? ded, and thus ended the regular programme of the Fair. Our space is too limited this week to enter into details, especially in regard to the articles on exhibition. The anxiety to know the awards of committees compels us to surrender a portion of our columns for that purpose, and to these reports we would invite attention, fur? nishing as they do a very good idea of the ar? ticles under competition. The display of field crop*, though not so extensive as formerly, was quite creditable to our farmers in many re? spects, and demonstrated the fact that they were alive to improved and enlightened culture of the soil. In- the household, needle-work and fancy departments, the ladies of Anderson fully sustained their reputation as thrifty, in? dustrious housewives, and far surpassed their previous efforts to lend attraction and interest to the Fair. The exhibition of poultry was truly commendable, making a fine display, and attracting much attention. The cattle and hogs were not bo numerous as we might have desired, but the stock was generally of an im? proved character, and sufficiently varied to ex? cite favorable comment. Finally, touching upon what seems to be a weakness with most persons, we will accord the fullest praise to the horse show, which is unabated in interest, proving conclusively that our people are giving more attention to the quality of animals em? ployed for work or pleasure, and arc discarding the inferior grades of equine stock. The Fair has not only been a success as re? gards the articles aud animals exhibited, and the attendance of visitors, but we are gratified to state that the pecuniary condition of the Association is entirely satisfactory. The erec? tion of the buildings "and the expense of en? closing the grounds have already been met, and there only remains the debt for a portion of the laud purchased. Even this might be cancelled by au addition to the capital stock, which so far has been limited to the original sharehold? ers, and will not likely be increased much be? yond its present amount. -a -o- m The General Assembly. The next Legislature will he politically con? stituted as follows: Senate?Regular Radicals, 21; Bolters, 4; Conservatives, 8. Conservative gain, 3., House of Jiepresentatives?Reguhr Radicals, 80; Bolters, 19; Conservatives, 24. Conserva? tive gain, 11. In Joint Assembly?Regular Radicals, 101; Bolters, 23; Conservatives, 32. Conservative gain, 14. It will be seen that the Bolters and Conser? vatives have obtained more than one-third of I either House, and by their united strength can i prevent unwholesome legislation in some cases. The Presidential Election. The election on Tuesday last was very quiet? ly conducted in this.County, and there is every probability that a small vote was cast on either side. The indications at this writing are in favor of a larger colored vote, relatively, than at the recent election for State officers. The whites continue to maintain a lethargic indif? ference to tbe exercise of the right of suffrage, while the majority of the colored people prompt? ly avail themselves of this privilege on all occasions. We give the vote at tbe boxes heard from up to the hour of going to press, viz: Greeley Electors. . Grant Elector^ Anderson C. H., - 274 357 Pendleton, - ?69 94- ? Sandy Springs, 33 32 Belton, 107 151 Honca Path, 71 78 Holland's Store, ,3" 36 The name of Thomas . Mackey, one of the Grant Electors, was stn cen from thirty-three tickets at Anderson C. H. Executive Clemency. '-. Gov. Scott has pardoned Mr. Harvin Vandi ver, of this County, who was tried and convict? ed of murder at the May term, and sentenced by Judge Orr to be hung in January next. Our readers are sufficiently familiar with the cir? cumstances of this peculiar case, without enter? ing into the particulars at this time. Mr. Van diver is upwards of seventy years old, and has been a Baptist minister. His father was a Revolutionary i soldier, and he is respectably 'connected. Wm. M. Davenport, who was also convicted and sentenced at the same time with Vandi ver for being engaged in the murder of Meeks, is yet in jail. His case cannot be decided by the Supreme Court, to which an appeal has been made, until January. We are not advised that any effort is making to obtain Executive clem? ency in his behalf. Old John Robinson's Circus. It was announced in these columns sometime ago that the famous showman, Old John Rob? inson, intended to visit our town this winter with his mammoth exhibition, which he is now transporting through the Southern States. But we regret to learn from his agent, who was here last week, that it is impossible for .the Greenville and. Columbia Railroad to furnish transportation at this busy season for such a colossal establishment,' and the up-country will be deprived of the contemplated pleasure in. witnessing the greatest show now traveling through the South. The management, has made arrangements, however, to secure return tickets on the railroad for all persons who de? sire to visit Columbia on next Monday, 11th of November, at which time the exhibition will take place in that city. Handsome Compliment to our Merchants. "Long Cane," a correspondent of the Abbe? ville Medium, writes as follows concerning a recent visit to our town, in which he pays a just compliment to the energy, enterprise and business tact of our merchants. The writer is evidently puzzled at the high prices paid for cotton in this market, and so have other people been puzzled at the same thing. We might possibly offer an explanation of this fact, but the farmers all around only want to know that it is a fact, without entering into the particu? lars, and it is useless to make the explanation. Therefore, we desire to reiterate the statement so often made that Anderson is the best cotton market in the up-country, and to invite "all the world and the rest of mankind" to test its truthfulness by bringing their produce to this place, where they can purchase every desirable article at the lowest prices, and meet with lib? erality and kindness at the hands of onr mer? cantile friends: Editors Medium: I promised to drop you a few lines if anything turned up worth relating on my way to Anderson. I met several Abbe? ville farmers driving their wagons loaded with bagging, ties, bacon, salt, hats, shoes, &c? "Where have you been ?" says I. "To Ander? son," say they?"selling cotton and buying my necessaries. They pay higher prices for cotton in Anderson than they do iu Abbeville, and they sell goods as cheap." I inquired how that could be, for Anderson was further from mar ket than Abbeville, and it cost more to ship a bale of cotton from the former than the latter place, and it cost more to ship goods from Charleston and New. York, how then could they pay higher prices for cotton and sell goods as cheap ? The reply was, "They did not know about that, but they knew they did it." . On my arrival here I saw many more familiar faces, selling cotton and buying groceries, and they all made the same reply to my interroga? tories. This, I confess, was a "turn up" I was not looking for and don't care to relate. It is all wrong from beginning to end, the merchants can pay as much for cotton in Abbeville, and more too, than they can pay at Anderson, and it is a shame and a scandal that our farmers have to sell their produce and buy their gro? ceries here. What's the matter ? An editor is supposed to know everything, then please enlighten us. Are the people here wider awake? Have they more capital? more energy than they have at home ? I tell you we must work up aud push, or we will be left out in the cold. Anderson is lengthening her cords and strengthening her stakes; you see signs of thrift on every street. This is my first visit here since the war. In ante bellum times it was a little, old, one-horse concern?I thought the most old fogy, stupid, dull town in creation; but, sir, things have changed?everything is lively and looks smiling; the clerks move like Broadway boys, and the merchants seem con? tented with their lots in life. The Death of Mrs. Gheeley.?The tele? graph announces the death of the wife of the Hon. Horace Greeley, in New York city on the 30th ult., of consumption. Mrs. Greeley was a native of New York, where she became ac? quainted with Mr. Greeley while he was the editor of the Ncto Yorker, and boarding at the Graham House in that city,-at which place she first met him. She shortly afterwards removed to Warrenton, North Carolina, to teach school. Her maiden name was Mary Y. Cheuey. Hor? ace Greeley and Miss Cheney were married in Emanuel Church, Warrenton, North Carolina, on the 5th of July, 183G, by the Rev. Wm. Norwood, according to the Episcopal form.? For some months Mrs. Greeley's health has been gradually declining, and for a week past her death has been hourly expected. She has been in Madeira and Europe for a year past, attempting to restore her health, and returned within the last three months. Mrs. Greeley was a woman of intellectual culture, and devo? ted her time largely to the acquisition of knowl? edge. ? Rev. J. M. Carlisle, of Sumter, has inven? ted a machine to shuck corn.

Death of Wm. O. Alexander. Mr. Alexandor left his homo near Crayton ville, in this County, in the fall of 1870, for Falls County, Texas; but not satisfied with that part, he removed last fall one hundred miles west, into the upper Cross Timbers, in Johnson County. Returning to Falls County in January last on business, he encountered a "Norther" in crossing the prairie, and his feet were so frozen that he was unable to walk. The shock to his system, and the sufferings he en? dured superinduced dropsy, which his physi? cians com batted with varied success until Au? gust 23, 1872, when he died at a Sulphur Spring in Hood County, in the 57th year of his age. SPECIAL NOTICES. Scrofula Is tho dread disease which annually sweeps its thousands to the grave. It makes its ap? pearance in many forms; in Consumption, Glandula Swelllings, Rheumatism, Cutaneous Diseases, many or the affections with which females are troubled, etc. Perhaps no one is wholly free from its taint. The only way it can be successfully treated is through the me? dium of the circulation. It is a blood disease. Dr. Tutt's Sarsaparilla and Queen's Delight possesses the qualities to expel it from the sys? tem and restore perfect health. Being free from violent minerals, it may be taken with safety by old and young. The most delicate female may take it at any time. If your child has worms, or a bad breath, or sallow complexion, or restless at night, or no appetite, or general had health, give it Dr. Tutt's Liver Pills. It will soon be restored. Dr. Tutt's Hair Dye contains no Sugar of Lead. There was a man in our town, And he was wondrous wise, He had a pain from car to ear, Another between his eyes; And when he saw he had eatarrh, With all his might and main, He purchased Sage's Remedy, And has his health again. It is sold by druggists everywhere. The Horse and his Rider.?It was a happy day for the Horse and his rider when the Mus? tang Liniment was introduced for the exter? nal diseases ami injuries of both. In the stable, the barn and the household this wonderful emollient is equally useful. If a horse is spav? ined, or foundered, or harness-galled, or afflict? ed with any other of the many superficial ills that equine flesh is heir to, thcLinimenteffects a speedy cure, and it is equally efficacious when applied to draught oxen or cows suffering from outward swellings, strains, or hurts of any de? scription. As_an application for bruises, cuts, burns, rheumatism, stiff joints, sprains, neu? ralgia, earache and toothache, it takes prece? dence of all other tropical remedies, and is thereforo an article of prime necessity in fam? ilies. Advertised by Smiles Is SOZODONT, and if you use it daily, the white gleam ot the pearls between the parted rubies will provo its excellence as a Dentrifice, and tho sweetness of tho breath will attest its purifj-ing properties.
