NINTH ANNUAL FA I Ii. \ Splendid Exhibit J of the Endustilal Produits of Anderson Comity-Fine Weather ?nd Vnir Attentante, The ninth annual exhibition of the An derson Fanners' and Mechanics' Association was held last week, and although not PO r.anieroasly attended by visPoro as for thc lait several years, there was a goodly num ber of ladies and gentlemen from thc ?ur i carnding country who honored tho occasion with their -presence. Thc weather was all t hat could be deslied--clear, bracing October weather, neither too wena or too cool, and thc rains of the previous week hud laid the dust in good time, so that the pleasures of Fair Week were not marred in the slightest by external surroundings. The extraordi nary political activity of the past two months has so engrossed the citizens of this section that it was not expected there would be an immense assemblage Uko previous years, but it was a favorable indication of the well-balanced condition of our people, when so many agreed to enter upon the business of asocial and Industrial gathering, prol-r niitting for the time being the engrossing topic of thc day. Presidential nnd guberna torial proclamations, with their attendant rumors of martial law and military restraint, were put aside for the nonce, and the sturdy farmers, with their wives and daughters, .waight relief from these disagreeable fea tures of tho campaign In tb* enjoyment of j .social intercourse and an exhibition of their skill and industry, ever, r.ndcr the adverse circumstances tb which wo have alluded. The peaceful and deco!vas gathering each day was at once a high tributo to Lite char acter of our people, end a stem rebuke of the misrepresentations and slanders which would set them down os engaged in turbu lent, disorderly proceedings of any kind. The exhibition itself was entirely credita ble to all engaged, and in nearly ull the de partments there was the generous rivalry seen in former years. The number of en- | i tries in the aggregate were only slightly reduced fro"! last year, and in some instan ces thc entries were more numerous than heretofore. In cattle, hogs and sheep, the display was more extensive thnn ever known, while in field crops thc exhibition was no* one whit inferior. The horses were not so numerous, butthestock on exhibition made up in quality what was lacking in quantity. Thc manufacturer's department | i showed a falling off more plainly than any other class of articles. Tlieucedle and fancy department exhibited thc rarest skill and handiwork, and it was a common remark that thc display might bc considered highly superior in point of merit, ^he bread, cakes, jellies, preserves, pickles, wines, fruit, butter, lord and other articles in the house hold department received tho strongest en- I , comiums from visitors, and formed a tempt- j ing array to hungry and thirsty individuals, who were not so fortunate as to fill a place upon thc tasting committees. But we have not space thia week to do justice, even by partial description of the great display, and will only note further a few salient ixiitus of the exhibition. The "cooking match" OP. Thursday at tracted great attention. There were four co?jpctlt?is fur inc premium offered by the I 1 Association-Miss Lewis, of O con ec, Miss | * Alice Murrah, Miss Gussio Hubbard and Miss Lin.. Bewley, of Anderson. After on animated contest, lasting un hi ur or more, thc dinners were served, and several invitai * guests partook of thc feast with the officers | ? of thc Association. Thc award was made shortly afterwards, when it was announced * to the anxious throng that Miss Luta Bew- | ? ley, aged only ten years, was tile successful contestant who was to receive a handsome cooking stove for her practical knowledge of ' cooking. Tho most exciting event of tho Fair, how- ' ever, took place ojo Friday, when the "baby I show" was tn progress. The novelty of the J exhibition assembled thc entire crowd at thc * centre stand, where anxious papas and ex- ' pectant mammas were waiting the decision x of the awarding committees. A couple of J handsome baby carriages were the preml- " unis, and these were donated by B. D. Dean, I Esq., and Dr. M. L. Sharpe, whose generosi- 1 ty and public spirit afforded this novel und 1 interesting feature of our County Fair. ^ There were fifteen entries for the ' baby 1 ?u?iv"-?ve females ind ten males-all j pretty, handsome, intell.gont aud promising . specimens of humanity under twelve months old, and it was a difficult task for thc committees to decide upon the relative merits of tho infants After due considera tion of thc gravo and delicate question, thc premiums wore,given to Miss Maude Payne, > aged - months, daughter of Mr. James M. I Payne, and to Master Walter Keys Lewis, < aged - months, son of Mr. J. Baylis Lewis. At the conclusion of the baby show, it was announced by thc President of the Assoeintion that two worthy ami forlorn bachelors had'agreed ttl donate carriages as premiums for next year. The reports of awarding committees in the several departments closed tho exhibi tion on Friday afternoon, but tho distribu tion of premiums, which is usually one of thc most interesting features, did not lake place An unaccountable delay of tho pre miums, which were ordered from Now York in ample time, Interfered with this part of tho programme, much to the disappoint ment of the successful exhibitors and to thc great regret of the officers of tho Associa tion. Tho premiums will bo promptly de livered on ^Tlval, and duo notice will bc given through these columns. In concluding this hasty and imperfect sketch of our County Fnlr, we will stats that the unavoidable absence of thc Secre tary this week has prevented tho prepara tion of the listof premiums awarded, which will appear In our next Usu e. *H!

As our r^/Uy- hr.c-, v? ha?? noi onij been disposed to let Judge Reed alone, bul bave even sought to sustain and defend bin against chargea which ..e believed to Ix unjust. We are ready to do ao still, bot n< sentiment towards^rim canT1nfJuw us U IMiss unnoticed his actions, which are so un just and insulting to our people, as we deen his conduct in regard to James Miles, i colored youth of nineteen or twenty yean ?f agc, who waa convicted at the late Cour of Assault and Battery. Ile is the fellow who threw a rock or rocks into thc Demo eratic torch-light procession in Andersor lost August, and struck an old colured mar named Solomou Wright, who was riding in it. Tho offense being a very serious on* and one which, but for tho prudence am influence of some men who were in flu procession, might have led to grave conse quencei, Trial Justice Wm. 8. Brown verj properly sent it tip to the Circuit Court foi trial, ami as we have said, upon the tria Miles woa convicted of Assault and Batter} under aggravated circumstances, endanger lng the liv? of numbers of persons. Judgt Peed sentenced him to five dayslmprison nient in the County Jail, and bc is now fire? to rock Democratic meetings, or co ni tull any other political offence he chooses. We have never teen nor heard of such t sentence before. Thc worst of this matter is, that soon af ter he was committed to jail JO await hit trial, in default of buil, Judge Recd, thet not expecting to hold the Court, called Mr Brown into his office and asked him, as tin Trial Justice, to let afiles out without an> security, saying the offence was a trivia! ine and that it did not make any ditTcrenci whether he ever came to trial or not. Ii was unbecoming conduct in tho Judge o thc First Circuit to come into thc Eightl Circuit and endeavor to induce a Trial Jus lice to violate his sworn duty. If this 1B Judge Reed's mode of deal in; with political offenders against tho law, wt are not surprised to hear of riots in Citarles ton and at Calnhoy in his Circuit, and if hi has not a better Idea of apportioning till punishment to thc offence, we sympathize deeply with thc people of tho First Circu? when it comes to vindicating the majesty o violated law in thc casey of these two riots Had this rock been thrown by a Democra into a Republican procession, Judge Ree< md every one else knows the pelion win threw it would have been severely and de ?ervedly punished, but bc thinks five day mougb punishment for rocking Democrat: Wc warn thc Republicans of this Count; not to take license from this sentence, for i :hcy do they will be badly disappointe when they come to trial before Judge Cook? Whatever may be thc new fashioned idea n the First Circuit, our Judge has au ol ashioued way of punishing men who ar xmvicted of violating the law. The nej ntimidator of Democrats in this Count viii not fare so well. Thc New York Herald says: " We cu ;vsc the colored man to take Gen. Humpto it hu word, and give him a trial. L iromiscs more than Governor Chamberlax ins performed, and he ha? the ability to c chat he says." Bead this to your colon leighbor. THAT ORiiHD JURY. The report of the Audcison grand jur vhich we publish elscwdiere, was made : Vndei-Jii on Wednesday and was publish? m Saturday in the New York Herald. nts beer read ali over the ?tau.-, and is nc lelng presented to thc people of this gre inion as an authoritative contradiction he Governor's proclamation. Judge Rc nust have known it was destined to tell ti ruth on his chum, Governor Chauibcrlai ind that, probably, is the reason he was mxious to have the portion presenting t iSovemor stricken out. But his cour rying to bully the grand jury developed . mportant fact that there were six color nen on it. and every one of them stood c br the presentment in spite of the Jud] ??Yer since that day we have lieen look! br law to show that a grand jury cam iresent a Governor, but have found noi In Orangcburg grand jury presented I i?overnor Mose? for malfeasance in offlc ew years ago, and ujion thc presentment vos indicted, and the right of that gm ury to present him was never question IVe think the grand jury of this County 1 xiwer equal to the Orangeburg grand ju md tre cannot sec that Governor Chaine ain has any more rights before the law tl Moses had, although Judge Reed thinks s too high to bo looked ofter by a grt ury. The fact is, he felt bound to do soi bing to retain Chamberlain's frbudsl ind could not afford to defend him ; th? bro, he tried to escape on the law point, loing this bc either tried to fool other \ ide about the rights of grand juries, or diowed that he is not acquainted with tl rights and powers himself. We aro [ ;hat something has forced him *.J take p .ion, as we wanted to know wherehestai He is, we believe, a supporter of Govei TOiamberlain, and wo have no doubt ho vote for him, as he has shown an evie disposition to shield him from just c siam. Wc cannot dismiss this subject witl again complimenting our grand jury their exhibition of moral courage in court room. Aftor tho first attack ol Judge, when thc- foreman called on who wished to change the presenting] make it known, it ls true ho told the was u matter with which bc had nothil do, but at thc same time he used his ii most efforts both to argon and to Beare I Into withdrawing tba report, but thc: malned firm in tho very face of thc c and unanimously sustained tho prc mont. Judge Reed must have known lt Is without precedent to hare n grand voting in open court, and yet ho not permitted such a vote, but trieu bard I rlucnec the result. It ufforded an oxct exhibition of thc stern integrity and lion to duty of tho citizens of And County. Tiie purest and most indepci of thc old Romans themselves cou! have acted with more becoming fin and dignity than tho members of that i jury- ^ There in no time for idling.

FREIGHTS Considerable reductions have recently been made In bulk freights to Anderson, sc that our furmers or merchants by combin ing together can obtain articles at such freights as to enable them to compete suc cessfully with Greenville or other point-'. For instance, a car load of molasses, weigh ing 18.000 pounds, costs $45 freight from Charleston, or the freight par sack On a car load of salt is 35 cents. There ara also through rates on corn, flour, bacon, ?Vc, from thc West, via Augusta, so that our people may know Anderson is gaining lu its mercantile advuntuges. Weare indebted to Col. Dodamcad for these favors, and ho may rest assured we appreciate them highly. Otir County ticket is safe; xcork for thc Xatiorjil and State candidates. MEETING AT TOWHVILLK. Ju accordance with tho notice of the Ex ecutive Committee the voters sud ladies of Fork Township and the lower part of Oconce county assembled nt Townvlllc Church in large numbers, and heard some excellent speeches on the situation from Messrs. J. L. Orr, E. M. H?cker, J. W. Livingston and G. W. Maret. Capt. H. It. Vnndivcr pre sided over tho meeting. They intend to have a Democratic majority in Fork Town ship this election of ono hundred and seven ty-five votes. Tho speeches were full of Democratic enthusiasm and ardor, which was reciprocated by the assemblage thut listened to them. Tho order of the day was good, und the colored people who were present in considerable numbers were atten tive to thc arguments advanced, and were evidently much impressed by them. Every rote changed from Chamberlain to Hampton is equal to two vota for the latter. REPUBLICAN SUPERVISORS.

About two or three weeks Ugo souio colored men in tho town of Anderson concocted a plau to manufacturo some thing for the out: ugo mill, and procured p "offln with a suit of grave clothes In it, to be placed in tho yard of a colored man living some miles in tho country, and then accused a Democrat of doing the deed. It was promptly reported to GOT. Chamberlain, we are informed, and Is no doubt safely stored among the archives of lies sont him or procured by bim from this County. Tho diy-ovcry os to tho origin of thia deed waa accidental, but it la so suro that wo adviso certain rolov;d Republicans in this town not to at cmpt to mako a case of intimidation f>nt of lt.

Heed: The Urand Jury, in making this their third and last presentment, congratulate tho county upon the pcaco and order that preval?a throughout ita entire limita, not withstanding- the heated political cam paign that ia being waged by both politi cal parties at this time. They aro prepared to say that at no timo within their knowledge has there over provalled a greater respect for, or submission to, tho law and constituted authorities than at presont by tho whole people. Both political parties hold their meetings undisturbed and in perfect se curity, each respecting tho rights of tho others. At no tinto has there been greater immunity from crimoofan ag gravated nature than tho present. The civil courts, without lot or hindrance from uti}' source, aro enabled to enforce nil tho laws of tho Stato within tho coun ty. Tho Jury havo not heard of a single Instance of any person charged with criminal offouso rofuslug to submit, to nrrost by tho officer of tho law. Tho Jury would further submit that in obedlance to instructions from your Honor they visited and examined tho various public offices, to wit : J migo of Probato, Clerk of Court, Sheriff, County Commissioners, Auditor, Treasurer and School Commissioner, and find tho saino neatly and well kept. They also visited tho Jail, and found ?ho same In admirable order and tho wanta of tho prisoners carefully looked after and anticipated ; 'and by committee of their body they visited the pocr-house nnd form, and found tho samo neatly and orderly kept, tho inmates contented and cheerful, and their every reasonable wants supplied. The J ury, after a free interchange of opinions, respectfully submit further thnt to restore prosperity to the county and roliove In some measure tho great burthen of taxation that is weighing down our people and sapping their ener gies, it is necessary as a first step to abol ish many of tho offices now in existence in this State, and to commence at borne, thoy recommend to tho Legislature of tho Stato the consolidation of tho ofiicos of County Auditor and School Commis sioner, and that tho salaries of County Treasurers be reduced. In this way sovoral thousand dollars will bo saved annually to tho so ve ral cc un t leu, and competent men con bo found who will accept the place and discharge the1 com bined duties of those, offices for a reasona ble compensation. In conclusion, thoy would return their thanks to tho presiding Judge for his courteous attention-.?, and boar witness to the fair and impartial manner in which ho hes discharged his onerous duties and tho promptness and dispatch displayed by him. In view of tho foregoing facts as pre sented by this Grund Jury, we bog leave to present Gov. D. H. Chamberlain for using tho sacred office which ho holds to traduce tho poople of this county by bb) recent proclamation, declaring that dis order and riot exist throughout tho State and tho arm of the law is powerless to .'oreo the docrces of tho courts. So fur as this county is concerned, the procla mation ls without foundation in fact and la itself n libel upon our pooplo. Wo ?o qucst that a copy of this presentment be forwarded to the Governor that ho may correct tho wrong he has done us or stand before the world a willful and confessed conspirator against tho reputation of the peoplo bo ls sworn to rule In justice.

Wyatt Aiken ls o vote I to place an honest, intelligent and represen- I tativc man iu Congress. A vote for L. Cass Carpenter is a vote to place a malignant, un reliable carpet-bagger in the next Congress os a m?-representative of South Carolina. He knows nothing of our country nor of the wants of its people. He bates our State, and has never done a single deed to entitle him to the respect much less the suffrages of our people. Col Aiken is a native, of unsullied character, who has labored hard to restore prosperity to our State, and is identified with every interest that is necessary to make him a valuable repr?sentative of our people Be sure to vote for him.

Our uicrchunts pay thc highest prices, and Anderson still holds her own us a cotton market. A vote for Tilden is n vote for thc restora tion of thc Union in thc heart of tho people of thc nation. It is n vote for the burial of sectional hostility, for thc restoration of local Stute government, for the expulsion of thieves nnd corruptionista from oQice und for thc reduction of taxation. Hurrah for Tilden ! An error occurred in the advertisement of the Commissioners of Election last week, by which the precinct at Ball's Mill was omit ted. The omission has been corrected, ns will anpr-ir by reference to the announce ment. Thc mistake was not the fiiiilt of the Commissioners, whose original copy desig nated thc managers named.

Thia ia the r?rse of our great Centennial, and now we ar* to commence a new one, ' I want you to recollect'that I am a Republican of the deepest rlyc, and although we have no organization we ought to understand one another. For myself, I expect to vote for' L. C. Carpenter fur the Third Cbngrcbsional District and for the entire Democratic State ticket, with this exception. Let us now pour oil upon thc troubled waters, and go to the polls on Uie 7th November and vote for honest men ? but do not forget Hayes and Wheeler. Try and shun the Radlral ring. Some of my Cul?rod friend* say if Hampton is elected Governor there will be a chain g&ng. I wish they knew that a Governor can't make laws, but I will say those that j want to vote for Chamberlain let them vote for him. Now, let us look to thc finan?a and seo if there bas been any corruption, and see what has become of thc money that has been paid In for taxes, of which the Democrats paid ibo largest amount. Why not then throw a safeguard around tho finrncea of thc State by electing men of their own choice to look aver this department-Secretary of Str.tc, [>>mptrol!er General, Attorney General and Treasurer. This is a time that we ought to make sacrifices of our greatest friends, even If it ls a brother. Some may say thc rcaaon [ Bpoak these words is because I am persua ded or hy fear. This is Hot so. I can prove this has been my watchword for the last four year?. I have always got plenty of [aboi to do, and at good pay. Thc Demo- ' /rata have never asked me ta define my po dium or policy before giving mc work. If I prosper am! my neighbor perish, is thai deas ure to tue? No. The reason I tell you hz* you ""ght to vote for the National Rc- i mbliean ticket is because thc contest in the 1 S'orth is very different to what it is here in j ho South. In tho Northern States thc two tarries pay near equal taxes. A great many jf you know that I organized thc Republi- \ .au party in this County, and assisted in , itber counties, and did so w??b no bitter eelings, and thought that I was right, and i bink so still. Have I ever told you any- I bing to do you harm or that would take 1 iway any of your rights?

October 10, 1870. - The school commissioner of Beau- i fort county, 8. C., writes to tho Boston Globe: "A strong personal friend as I im of Governor Chamberlain, and almost tho Oiily ono in my county who has stood by him in his efforts for reform, for the past two years, I am nt loss to understand how he can now leek arms with B.

No sooner had; thia become known by the leading Radicals of the county, i who had become alnmud, Minn steps were takon to prevent a recurrence of euch a tttng. Tho meeting at Beaufort on Saturday last, when Cardoso, Smalls, Fillohrowa and othero spoke, having proven a per- . feet failure, there not Teing more than thirty or forty colcryd ;acn pr?tent, tue leaders determined to hold several meet ings outside of tho town, and established themselves in the edge of the village, un all tho road? ieadiug out of it, to prevent the negroes from coming, in ,to hear the Democrats-Gleavec, Small? ?nd other Radicals making themselves particularly conspicuous in this latter business. Genera I Hampton opened the iteino cratic meeting in a speech of about three quarters of an hour, and was listened to with quiet attention by about ,400 colored H.en, who, in apite ot tho efforts of Oh-.*vea tt> Co., bad assembled in front of the court house. After General Hamp ton'u sptfccb, Colonel h. F. Youmans, ci Columbia, rose to apeak, and shortly aftei opening, began to read tho opinions of Chamberlain, Elliott, Cardoso, Dunn. Gleaves & Co. of each other, as expressen by, themselves in the post. Immediately the crowd, who had been put up to it by one J. M. Crawiut, a low white Radical, and who had iwnrn that inm? of the Democratic orators shou'd not speak, began yelling and howling, using the most obscene and abusive language.

Judge Cooke then rpse to speak, and told thc negroes that bs wanted to speak to them as a Republican and wanted them to listen to him os a Republican. At this point one Langley, a pure blooded negro, who had been convicted of ballot-box stuning two years ago and sentenced to the penitentiary for two years, but who was pardoned by Grant after lie had served one vcar. mid the negroes that Cooke was a Democrat and a traitor, nnd Mint he had been the means of causing hundreds of colored men in the up-country to leave thc Radical par ty. Langley, with tuc -aid of his gang, by jeers and curses, prevented a word of what Judge Cooke said from being heard. After a half hour spent in vain attempts to gain attention, Judge Cooke also aban doned the stand. Col. James G. Gibbes, who has done such good service in Richland for tho State, and who has everywhere been greeted by thc colored people as a good man and their friend, then essayed to weak. He began by amusing them with anecdotes, ana finally attempted to ex plain the political situation to them. At this point tho crowd, led by thc ex-con vict Langley, began yelling like a pack af Comanche Indians, and he, too, was compelled to desist. Gen. Hampton, seeing that the minds r>f tho negroes had been poisoned, and that there was no possiblo chanco of the speaking being concluded, dissolved the meeting, and informed thc negroes that be regretted that they hvl been again misled by their bad leaders, and that he would inform them, for their edification, thal tight or ten ojneert from the fleet at Poi t Mogal, and ioho xoere in citizens dress, had witnessed their disgraceful condini This foll like a bombshell among tho ignorant crowd, and they gradually broke up and dispersed.
