Anderdon Farmen' and Meclianio's Assoctstioi will j be held on the 25th, S6th and 2Tth day? of October ?. 3 ti;s jtgj- ^ nip???j ap. j preaching, we lieg to remind our friend? j throughout thia section that thc prepara tiona now making by the officers <jt the As sociation ar? intended to make the coming orhibitlon equal in interest und importance to any of itu predecessors. It will depend largely upon the form?is, manufacturers and mechanics, who are asked to contribute the products of their industry, skill and inge nuity for exhibition, whether we arc to have a successful and imposing display, and to these classes we apical w'Ah perfect confi dence, believing that they witt uuitc with the officers of tho Association in keeping up thc spirit of improvement and development so manifestly encouraged and promoted by previous exhibitions. The absorbing in terest in political topic- should not beget in difference on the pjtft of the public bl thia industrial display, and wc would suggest that a truce be agreed upon for the three duya allotted to the County Fair, and that the people generally observe ?hose days ns a season of recreation from the labor and ex citement incident to a heated polit Va! cam paign. We feel ensured tba', the ladled of the country will cordlolly co-operate with the Association, and most heartily sympa thize with tho su-gestion that the County Fuir shnll bc regarded as usual hy oil classes as a time for general re-union and cessation of lab-rs of every description. The Board of Directors have extended an invitation to Gen. Alfred H. Colquitt, of Georgia, to deliver an agricultural address at some convenient time during the Fair. Gen. Colquitt his been thc President of the P'atc Agricultural Society of Georgia for a number of years, and only recently resigned that position, soon after bc was nominated by thc Democratic State Convention for thc position of Governor. The election in Georgi.t taken place next week, and Gen. Colquitt wilt undoubtedly be chosen to serve thc people an thsir chief magistrate. We sincerely trust, it may prove compatible with his engagements at home to accept the invitation to come amongst us, and more especially because 'uo is fitted by education and exjierience to give wise counsels to an agricultural community. Tba great success which attended the cooking contest lost year has induced thc Association to offer another premium for tho best dinner, ty be cooked and crvcd on the Fair Grounds, by any unmarried lady under eighteen years of oge. Thc premium is n first-class cooking stove. Young indies desiring to compete for this handsome and useful premium roust give notice to the Sec retary on or before the Otb of October, in order that suitable arrangements may bc made. As tho number of contestants will be limited, it Ls important that all desirous of competing for this premium will take special notice of the time fixed for entering their names. The list of general premiums embraces the customary variety, including all articles of domestic skill and industry. Premium lists eau bc obtained on application at thLs office. COTTON. Cotton ls coming in rather slowly, and the price rcmnins down. On Wednesday lt was selling in Anderson at B@0} cents per pound. LI?GSJ LIEETinO AT DOUBLE ?PBIMQO. The mass meeting held at Double Springs on last Saturday was an entire suer-'is in every respect, and our friends of the Fork Democratic Club may congratulate them selves upon the occasion. Between eight hundred and a thousand persons were pres ent, including several hundred ladies, whoso I bright ?miles and cheering approbation of the good cause enhance the enthusiasm and zeal of tl?e campaign. Maj. G. W. Maret acted as chairman of the meeting, and in troduced tin jpeakers. Messrs. W. C. Brown, lt. PT', Simpson, James L. Orr, H. II. Vandivcr and E. M. Rucker addressed the crowd before dinner, and Messrs. J. W. Harrison and John B. Moore after thc recess. Several colored men made pointed and en couraging remarks before thc meeting closed, and thc best feeling prevailed throughout thc day. The hospitality of the Fork was exemplified in an unusual degree, and thc whole occasion was marked by an earnest ness and determination which presages a faithful and brilliant record on election day. A CARD. ? To the Voting Citizens of Anderson County: I am in entire accord with tho platform and principles enunciated by thc Democracy of our country ; and one of their first decla rations, when forming clubs for the cam paign, was to make the office seek the man and not to encourage thc seeking of thc office by the man. But since the notice of my own name by kind friends of various clubs, I am urged to canvass, as others are said to do, but this I am unable to do on account of fecblR health, ?nd my friends 1 must therefore excuse what may seem to be 1 indifference. I have never Lad but one po ? litieal faith-my motto is, "Honesty and 1 capacity for office," thc lowest possible taxes " consistent with a creditable administration ' of the government, few offices and officers, ^ short and working sessions by thc Legisla 1 turo, low fees, salaries or per diem; let the officers be servants rather than masters of , their constituents, and encourage that gov f eminent which dispenses the greatest good to the grcatcat number. To these and kin \ dred sentiments I am fur from being indif . fercnt ; nay, .rho could bc indifferent or who : can dare even to remain idle wdicn our moth . er country is to sj>cedily bc redeemed from > those shackles which threaten lier disaolu : tion? for while she needed thc smallest pos 2 albie measure of taxation, she hus been dosed ? with a portion ten fold above her ability to s bear ; she needed a stimulant composed of t equal parts of "Honesty and capacity," and instead thereof her pretende! physicians gave her an unbearable dose of ignorance. 1 Imbecility and corruption ; when her resto " ration required the fewest of well-skilled . nurses in thb various denn- ments, shebas " been bcsclged with on innumerable host of . pretenders who fill every possible niche, and B thus forbid even thc breathing or healthy 8 atmosphere, until nbc is well nigh suflbca . tea ; and. above all, when abc most needed 1 mutual confidence, forbearance and harmo .', nv in thc household, those quacks stirred up - jealousy, animosity and bickering amongst . her children, thereby giving to themselves thc opportunity-which they havo made haste to improve-of robbing her tills, emp tying her pantries, ruining her credit and 1 degrading her children unlil they have so L completely bankrupted her entire estate that 1 even children's children must suffer in con 1 seque... J thereof; and now those croakers . have thc audacity to tell us that they arc c thc only phyaiciana that can effect a cure. I May God speedily deliver us from such ? monsters, and may tho people all cry, t "Amen." I submit my past as a guarantee for thc future, if on thc 19tb of October my friends r. place me in position as one of the cup bcar ? era in nomination for tho Legislature, ' though at a sacrKce, i will strive to serve [1 with my might; if they prefer others, I - shall bc content cheertully to step behind I and assist in holding up their hands. ? With thanks to hind friends who present my claims, I remain, obediently, 0 W. S. PICKEN8. Hr)>te.h?tcT 23, 1876. APPOINTMKKTS VO? TSISi ?JAM PA li; fi ROOMS CK**. KX. COM.

TUE RAD?CAIL PROGRAMME.--The Co lumbia Phoctnix makes the following statement of the Programms agreed upon hy ibo leaders' cf tho Radica? party in thh.oiate: ^ It bas been divulged recently that tho Radical party aro to hold no morn public matinga during the present canvass. Thia course, wo learn, wa? resolved, npon in the secret session of tue late Radical State Convention The object of this move on tho political chess-board la eaid to bc to mateo it apr ?rent that tho Demo crats intend to co tuoue the procesa of intimidation, which, the Radicals allege, has already been inaugurated in thia State. The leaders of thia faction hope in this way to be able to make out a case sufficiently strong to iuduco the author! ties at Washington to declare at least half the counties in South Carolina under martial law, in order that tho vote of tbs State may be cast foi their party. The presence of Gov. Chamberlain at tho na tion tl capital, just now, accompanied by ?orno of tho greater light? of bia peculiar creed, whoso mission is presumed to be of a political nature, would seem to giro some coloring to tho statements made above. As additional evidence, it ia a noticeable fact that, since the adjourn ment of the Convention, there havo boen no Kr heal public meetings held, nor any announced to be holden. A colored member of tbs late Conven tion, who went over into North Carolina, the other day, is reported to have di vulged this programme of bia party in presence of it Democrat, from whom w? obtained the intelligence. AU of which may or may not be the truth. We are, however, loth to believe that tho great Democratic party of thc uation would stand idly hy and witness euch a nagrpnt violation* of tho Constitutlonj as the de claration of martial law, perpetrated upon auy section of the Union. That tho Radical party should attempt such measures is but in keeping with their former history.
