Esq., of the Abbeville fVew mid ?tanner, was in town last week. Wc <lid not have the pleasure of meeting him. Hon. I). Wyatt Aiken is upon the Con gressional Committee upon Agriculture. Col. Aiken will make a valuable member upon this committee. The State Fair begins on next Tuesday week, in Columbia, and will no doubt be very largely attended. All the Railroads will pass visitors to it at reduced rates. The Grand Division of SonB cl Temper ance of South Carolina will meet in Colum bia on Tuesday, 13th inst., during the week of the State F?ir. A large meeting is cx |iected. Mr. R. L. Moorhead from the house of Sloan, Leo* Taylor, of Greenville, B.C., was in Anderson last Friday. He was look ing very much like an Anderson man al though lie lives in Greenville. Mr. Joe B. McGee, of the house of Thos. W. Davin, of Greenville, 8. C., was at the Fair Inst Friday. His stay in Greenville bas not been long enough to rob him of a familiar appearance to our people. Our townsman, Mr. B. F. Crayton, has been suggested for the presidency of the State Fair Association, and will no doubt Ixe elected if be will consent to servo, which wc hope bc will do, a? a better president could not possibly be procured. L. P. Smith, Grand Scribe of tho Sons of Temperance of this State, will organize a Division of that Order at Cross Roads Church on next Saturday evening at 7J o'clock. We understand the prospects for a strong Division there are very good. Managers of Election in this County for '1870 would do well to read the card of Col. James A. Hoyt, chairman of the board of .commissioners of election for this County. It ls Important to have the account mode .out by the beginning of tho session of the Legislature. Mr. Curran H. Sloan, of the enterprising finn of Sloan, Lee ix Tuylor, uf Greenville, 8. C., was in attendance Upon our County Fair on Friday. His ninny friends in this community were pleased to sec him in our midst, even for so ?hort a time. A little child of Maj. John B. Moore came near being drowned on iast Saturday altcr noon, by wandering from the other chil dren and Billing into a tub of water. For tunately, however, the little one was dis covcmiln time to resuscitate it, though the escnpo from death was a very narrow one. The business of the town of Anderson bas been larger during the month of Octo ber than that of any month tor the past ?hree or tour years. Season-because lt is one of the best cotton markets in South Carolina, and goods are suld here as cheap as they con be bought at any neighboring ?own for the cash. Rev. Thomas F. Gadsden, who has been iprer.iihlng some time in this place, assumes the Rectorship of Grace Protestant Episco pal Chinch to-day. His sermon next Sab bath will treat of subjects appropriate to the .occasion, ofter which the Lord's Supper will ?lie administered. Hon. Thoa. C. Gower, formerly Mayor of 'Greenville, and at present the president of ber city railroad, was in Anderson last Fri .day. He la one of the most enterprising ?and success i ul men In South Carolina, and is the senior member of the well known firms of Gower, Cox & Markiey, and ofT C. Gower ?fe Co., of Greenville, 8. C. Mr. Warren Keown shot Mr. J. N. Van diver at tho circus on last Tuesday. Mr. Vandlvcr was acting os a policeman for the town, and had endeavored to keep Mr. Keown quiet, but at thc time he was shot had leR him. Tho ball struck Mr. Vnndl ver in thc back, but did not seriously hurt him. This case will undergo judicial inves tigation, and therefore we withold com ment. We return thanks to Mr. T. P. QuarleB, ?Sccretaiy of tho Abbeville Fair Association ?for a complimentary ticket to tho Abbeville .County Fair, which is now in progress. 'This Fair will no doubt be a great success, as Abbevillo County hos come out to a very great extent since ita political regeneration, and shows it on every occasion. It will not be behind on this. The exhibition in Calisthenics ot the Ma sonic Hall on last Friday evening was a very great success. The address of Major B. F. Whitncr upon the advantages of tills system of education was terwi, elegant and interesting, and the performance evinced much training and system in the pupils, rcflect.'ng high credit upon their teacher Mit.3 Wade, of tho Southern Home School. The attendance waa large, and the enter tainment in every way u decided success. Sol Smith Russell, the great musical actor whose facial grimaces sonic of our people remember In connection with tho Swiss Bell Ringers, will afford the people of An derson a rare trc?t in the Masonic Hall on Friday evening. He bringa with him au atrray of musical talent which is seldom met with in traveling companies, and will more ?bon repay tho attendance of all who love a chaste and elegant perforuuince. See the advertisement elsewhere. The merchants of Anderson should dis* cuss, tho propriety of chartering a ferry across the Savannah river to Induce the trade of neighboring counties in Georgia to como here in greater quantities. It might bc made free for personB who trade at thin point and not elsewhere by issuing certifi cates to every Georgian who sells a bale of cotton and buys a bill of good3 lu Anderson. By charging all others the ferry would pay expenses and be tho source of gain to our town, os well as a benefit to portions of Georgia. Tho entertainments given in th,; Masonic Hall on last Wednesday and Thursday evenings for the benefit of the Episcopal Church, were quite a success. During the two evenings tho two highly amusing com-, etiles of "Colleen iJawn,'' "Should This Meet Yew Eye" "??I "Krii? Kinnie." were well rendered by en amateur club bf ladies and gentlemen to a highly delighted audience. Thcso entertainments were very amusing, nnd were weU attended. We learn that nlwut eighty dollars was real ?red from them. Judge Recd was prevented iron holding thc Fall terni of Court In Beaufort, on ac count of the yellow fever, which luis been raging at Port Roval and other points along thc coast. The Chief Justice directed him to hold thc October term of Court otOrcen >ut tlie members of the bar were not ex pecting a term of Court, and hence ore un prepared . with tho business of tho term. A petition from the membcre of the Anderson Bar has been forwarded to the Chief Jus tice, requesting an extra term of Court for November, and. asking for Judge Reed to hold tlie Court. This application baa not been lu ard from, but lt ls probable an extra tenn will lie onlered during thc coming month. Now and Thee. It ls only now and then that such men as Hon. Alex. H.

Rainy Weather aud a Smiler Attend ance thun UsaaL The Tenth Annual Fair of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Fair Association of Ander son County waa held hurt week, beginning on Wednesday and concluding on Friday. The exhibition was very fine in all the de partment, and better than last year in even* respect, except, perhaps, the Art department and one of the Manufacturers' departments, in which a very small uumber of articles were entered. TUB HOfBEIlOLD OKPARTMKirr contained the largest number of entries, and displayed greater progress on the part ot its exhibitors than can well be described. Al most everything that is prepared for table uso was exhibited hi great variety, and in the most tempting manner imaginablo, showing the highest skill and perfection In. the exhibitors. Thc jellie*, picke?s, pre serves, cakes, wines, salads, breads and cooking of meats, fowls, Ac, presented by far a finer appearance than th. y have ever done before at any of our County Fairs, and there were numbers of dishes of each of I these articles which deserved premiums or any other complimentary recognition that could bc extended to them. THE FIELD CHOP DEPARTMENT, though pcrhajw not containing as many entries as in some former years, was well rilled with much finer specimens of agricul ture than those presented lost year. The wheat, corn, cotton stalks, oats, beets, cab bages, sugar and broom cane, millet, petr: toes, vegetages, Ac, showell that thev had been raised by thc most thorough and pro gressive system of agriculture. Among the many worthy exhibits in this department we can mcntiou specially but one. and that ls a second en-p of Irish potatoes. There were th rca or tour entries of these, and all of them were very fine, indeed, showing that thc Irish potato is susceptible rf be coming a very valuable crop in this country. Two crops of it can bc raised upon the same ground during a year, and the yield from them is immense each crop, If properly cul tivated. We leam that Mr. D. 8, Maxwell's exhibit took the premium. They were very largo and beautiful, ns tho others were also. MANliFACTORKlts' I) K PA RT MENT. There were a number of manufactured articles on exhibition, which attracted n great deal of altonion from all persons taking an interest in such things. Captain John L. Thornley, of Pickens, had on ex hibition, in this department, a SEW COTTON TIE, which operates upon ttie principle of the wedge, and for simplicity and efficiency it is beyond doubt far ahead of any tie that has ever been ottered to the cotton trade by any manufacturer. By using it the danger of breaking is lessened, and {he same tie can be used and re used for a number of times. Mr. A. H. Osborne, of our town, had A PATENT GATE, suitable for usc across roads, on exhibition, which is an invention of his own, and is a very ingenious device. Ey z system of levers and pulleys a person on horseback or in a vehicle can open thc gate without dis mounting, and after passing through can also shut it without getting down. This gate is a fine invention, for it is a great con venience and safety in case of wild horses. We hojie it moy come into general use. Mr. Osnomo also had on exhibition a PORTADLE FENCE of bis own invention, which will very likely come into gcnerr.1 usc among the farmers in fencing up their stock in those portions of thc County where the old rystcm of fencing hos been abolished. The'fence is built of plank, and is" very substantial. Messrs. T C. Gower A Co. of Greenville, 8. C., had a WOOD PUMP in operation, which is fast becoming n fa vorite on account of its excellence, com bined With cheapness. It has a patent at tachment of the handle, and a curved 3j>out, so that it cannot get out of order by being stopped up by sticks, rocks, Ac, as most pumps do. it works easily and bringst iavgc and rapid stream. It seems to be as good 2 pump as can possibly be made, and is much cheaper than any other kind of wood. Messrs. Gower A Co. are agents for this State, and are also the most extensive deal ers in doors, sash and blinds in upper Caro lina. Mr. Wm. Todd had on exhibition an in vention of castors for sewing machines so arranged as to enable any person to put the machine on 'Tillers or off ot them at will. It is simple a. i excellent in its operations. Its conveniez - 3 insnres for it a general use. Col. John Alexander bod several pieces of casting from thcCoogaree Iron Works, such os sugar-cane mills, evaporators, bullustcrs for piazzas and fencing, Ac His exhibit was a fine one, and will no doubt direct the attention of our people to this manufactory, which ls within the limits of our own State. Mr. Richard Toser liad one of his porta ble steam engines in operation on the grounds, os were also two engines ?uni the manufactory of Tolbert A Sons, Richmond, Virginia. Messr". Winship A Bro., of Atlanta, Go. had in operation one of their cotton gin*, with a condenser attached. At first it diu not work well, in consequence of difficulty about regulating it upon the ground, but on the second day it was properly adjusted, and did most excellent work. It is in many re a great improvement upon the ordi nary gins. Messrs. McCulley A Taylor also showed one of their Pratt Gins, which is very popu lar with thc ginncrs of this County, and obtained the premium at this Fair. Mr. John Catlett had his patent chum there for inspection. It is a model chum, and is destined to become a great favorite with all makers of butter, as it not only does its work sooner, but also more thor oughly than common churns. Mr. R. Y. H. Nance had on exhibition some work from bis boot and shoe shop, and was awarded the premium for the best pair of hand made gaiters. The horse and cattle departments were far better than usual, and had exhibitors from this and adjoining counties. The display of fancy work was very fine, os also was the exhibit of flowers, which, though not as elaborate as in former years, displayed the finest taste in selection and nrrangement. The cooking matches did not come off, as thcic were no entries for either contest. The baby show likewise did not come off on account of the bad weather on Friday, which induced the management to dispense with this show. We learn ?hat there were only two entries for this exhibition, and suppose the reason more did not enter for comjiviioii was i ?mi most parents arc Ri.Ha il ed that they have the finest b?by In the world, end do not care to put a committee to the trouble of telling them of it. Seri ously, however, wo believe this part of thc Fair would be improved in interest by hav ing tho exhibition in the building instead of in the c&ttlo ring. We would like very much to mako more extended comment upon thc Fair exhibi tion, but space forbids. We can only add that we regret that such a fine agricultural, mechanical, animal and miscellaneous ex hibition should not have received a more extensive attendance from our people. It was far superior in all that deserves patron age to any circus that ever came here, and yet the attendance upon it was for less than that at Cole's circa?. By attending these Fairs our people can improve themselves in many ways, and we nope hereafter that least one day. It deserves publio patron ago. Mn TO KAHAGBEB OF ELECTIOH. COLOMBIA, 8. C., Oct. 81,1877. To the Manager* of Election in Anderton County : In response to several inquiries, I desire to state that the Legislature has made no provision as yet for tho expenses of conduct ing thc last general election, and eonse qu*atly iln-rn cannot be any monev in the ??>:.* treasury for that purpose, uritil after an h?>propriatiou has been made nt tbs next session, which will come ont of next year's taxes, if levied at all. In the meantime, however, as Chairman of the Board of Election Commissioners for Anderson County last fall, I would respectfully re quest managers and clerks of the different precincts to file their accounts with E. B. Murray, Esq., during the month of November, so that a statement can be prepared to show the amount necear? for the payment of such expenses. Hy absence from the coun ty of Anderson so constantly after thc elec tion, and subsequent removal to this city, prevented prompt attention to this matter, but the failure to make any appropriation to meet such expenses has rendered lt un necessary heretofore to mako ap tho state ment.

On last Friday the attendants upon the Anderson County Fair enjoyed the privi lego of witnessing one of tlie most Interest ing tournament', that has ever been given in Anderson. Messrs. J. E. Allen, G. E. brown, F. E. Harrison, jr., G. Harrison, C. H. Orr, J. E. Peoples, Louis Shanie, J. J. Fretwell, J. L. McGee. J. O. Wilhite, E. W. Taylo: competed for tlie price, which was a handsome saddle and bridle, worth $25. The contest was a very exciting one, and re sulted in a victory for Slr. Lon is Sharpe, who carried ofT seven rings in three runs. The second price-a bridle and martingales, worth $5-was won by Mr. J. J. Fretwell, who toole live rings- Mr. John E. Allen took four rings and secured the third price, which was a silver plated jmir of spurs, lt was ascertained that six of the knights bad carried off two rings, and hence bad tied for the tin cup, which was by for tlie most popular and hotly contested prize of the day. Messrs. Peoples. Wilhite, Orr, Taylor, Brown and McGee competed for it, mid vic tory nt length puched upon tho lance of the lost named gentleman, who se cured thc proverbial tin cup of the tourna ment. Messrs. John B. Moore, D. 8. Maxwell and James L. Orr acted os judges, and at the conclusion of the contest Mr. Orr an nounced the result and presented the prices to the winning knights and stated that the coronation of the queen and two maids of honor would be performed by the three gen tlemen winning the highest prizes at the TOURNAMENT CALL which came ofT at the Waverly House on Friday night. At that time Mr. Louis Sharpe, in a graceful manner, and with an appropriate speech, crowned as Queen of Love and Beauty, Miss Rebecca Keys, who responded in an elegant and dignified ncopp tance. Mr. Fretwell then, in like manner, crowned as fiisi Maid of Honor, Miss Lula Neville, of W -.-.'.halla, and Mr. Allen crowned as second Maid of Honor, Miss Lucy Reed, of this place, each of whom responded with appropriate beauty of expression. The cor onation presented a beautiful tableau, and was follo'v,-ed by one of the merriest and most pleasant, yet dignified and elegant, evening's amusement that hos been enjoyed in Anderson for many years. THE CIRCUS. Cole's New York and New Orlctm ; Circus and Menagerie visited Anderson a.. billed on last Tuesday, and with it came a warm, sultry rain and au immense concourse of people, white and colored, from all sections of Anderson and adjoining counties. Thc street procession was a very good one, and at the appointed hour an immense con course of people assembled at the tent in the Blue Ridge Railroad yard, and soon filled it to its uttermost capacity, occupying the seats and also the standing room. The tent leaked badly in places, and the continued tramping of thc ground soon made thc whole affair a perfect mud-puddle. The arrangement for seats was greatly inade quate to the demand for them, and quanti ties of lumber was improvised to meet the demand, but with all tlial could be dono in this direction failed to afford accommoda tion to the crowd, and tho consequence was that the audience waa more boisterous than usual at snell places. The circus perform ance went on under difficulties. The ground was wet, the hera es damp and the crowd talkative. The services of tue clown were completely wasted, as he could not be heard at all, and hence all who like this part of a circus thought the affair a very poor one, but the riding and acrobatic feats were marvellous, and equalled any ever pre sented lu this place. The Menigerie, though not as extensive as some that have been herc, contained a number rf fine and rare wild beasts. Thc lion-'J? mer entered the euge and put MB head ir Lie lion'e mouth, and performed other v. d . derful feats. The deportment of the managers of this Circus was unexceptional, and under favor able circumstances no doubt it would bf, all that circusea generally arc lp. tho way of performances. The crowd present was esti mated at from three to four thousand per sons. County Correspondence. GARDY SPRINGS. We have deon blessed with a delightful Fall, so far.

Ms. EniToa : Tho question of tho great Importance and inestimable utility of rail roads hos long since ceased to be problemat ical. No sane man in thia progressive age, unless he be an incorrigible old fogy of tue worst type, will attempt to controvert the pioposition that railroads are of thc first importance to our country, both in on agri cultural and commercial point of view. But, sir, railroads are not only of the first importance aa developers ' and utilizers of tho agricultural and commercial resources of our country, but tho great facilities which they afford In tho way of swift transit and cheap transportation have absolutely becomo to us as citizens of Anderson County a prime neceuUy, without which we cannot possibly live and keep even pace with our more for tunate competitors in thu ?ivat progressiv" race of agricultural advancement, commer cial enterprise, material wealth and general prosperity. We have not attended any of the public meetings held in the interest of this great, inestimable enterprise, but we understand from your journal that there are meetings to be held at three different points during the next eight or ten days to ascertain if the people living along tho line of this prospec tive re-ad are willing to tax themselves io construct land ravL New, that a few indi vldcals V.\ rug along the immediate line of tba reid will be specially bevjefittod is quite plausible; but that the manses in this sec tion of the County will be more immediate ly or directly benefit ted by the road than those living in other sections of the County, we cannot so very clearly perceive. And hence, we write not In tho interest of any particular route, save that of the nearest and cheapest which will connect Anderson and Aurusta by rail. This ia the great de tideratum; the great object which should be xmtinually kept in view, so os not to sacri fice the road in the vain attempt to locate it ac aa to run by Mr. A's blacksmith shop or Mr. B's gin house, Mr. Ca Mill or Mr. D's school house, for it is patent if Ute road is ever to be built all these local minor inter ests of particular individuals must bo ig nored. And now, sir. as Anderson is our judicial capital, and also our commercial emporium, cur nearest market town, wo think every citizen of tlie County should be actuated by the principles of patriotism, were there no other motives to impel, to be willing to ta? himself to the utmost of his pecuniary ability to construct th? toad. Let aa, there fore, as citizens of Anderson County, work ing together for the general benefit and pros perity of ourcelvce. our children, and chil dren's children, shake off and put to flight ih? f?rov??l,ng selfishness which causes soma to ray, "If they will locate the road by tay place I Trill give them $1,000. but If they locate it five miles away 1 will not contri bute a single cent." Kow, evidently, if the rood ia ever to be built, we must not depend noon thia very venerable, but nono the leas ideal, Irrespoosibl- personage, They, to con struct it. But let us employ the real oona fide, responsible personage We, and our word for lt, we con budd the road. W. II. J I'ill Tvwiuhip. Now I? tho time to subscribe for the Is TM.UOKSCEH.

OUR GRANGE COLUMN. Under the Supervision of the Executive Committee of romona Grange. II ll .III-.? Mil Hill ll.I 1 ???nrWHUMB ??~!ng Wheat In Cotton Land. We are always pleased to recoivo Just such letters as tho following, and can commend its perusal ta our readeru bo causo it comes from a man of experience und great practical agricultural knowl edge. Mal.lt. A. Griffin, of Ninety-six, writes as follows : "Your correspondent 'E.' asks, bow and wbon to sow wheat in cotton land ? You iceni to think your experience too limited to assure a truthful reply. I venture to elvo my tnodua opemndt, which has heretofore boon successful. Early In October. 1808, I mado my first experi ment with this kind of work. All bands wore put to work picking cotton, and dose behind them I followed with turn ing ploughs, tho bar aldo to the cotton stalks ; tho wheat way then eowod broad cast, and at tho samo timo a good manu ring of cotton seod was thrown broadcast from a wagon driven lengthwise with tho rows ; a one horse cultivator was Uren run ono tinto In each row. From nino bushole of wheat thus sown on ten acres I reaped - no hundred and ninety bush els. Kineo that time I have sown several fields in tho samo manner with satisfac tory results. If tho cotton rows aro four foot wldo I run a third furrow through tho middle. The wheat and fertilizers will be inassod in tho open furrows, but you need fear no injurious effects upon tho wheat, which should not bo sown very thickly. "Last year I planted four acres In tur nips in thirty inch drills, and failed en tirely to get a stand. About tho 20th October I ran a double-footed plough along tho beds as in covering cotton ; thia with a furrow in the alloy loft three open furrows. I Bowed the patch with rivo busbys of a large variety of amber wheat, and covered by running a two-horso har row length wiso with tho rows. The wheat canto up In three well defined drills and yieldod ono hundred bushels. "I ogrco with you in saying wo sow wheat too late. I have always succeeded best oven with tho rod spring variety, when sown between tho middle and last of October. When we postpone sowing until Novomber or December the laud is apt to bo wet, and will consequently bo loft in bad order after plowing, and tho wheat is covered too deeply, which resulta In bad stands. I believe that fair land ??hinted In cotton, with an application of 50 pounds of fort il ?zen;, if tovm In wheat as above without additional manure, will inako moro than if postponed until the lust of Novomber or first of Decem ber, and then recoivo an additional ap plication of 100 pounds of fertiliser. "I intend to com monee sowing wheat about tho 10th of October. In Feoroary after, I will tun s two-horso harrow over tho land to level tho cotton beds so tho crop can bo cut with a reaper. The har row will tear off" tho limb? from the cot ton stalks, leaving tho BU ns to bo knockod down by hand.-News and Con Fattening Crops. Tho most complete thing in figures we have ever seen, Is tho report of tue Com missioner of Agriculture of Georgia, (Dr. Janos) upon tue subject of the relative value, of crops for fattening hogs. The Doctor takes the cluo from a writer in a Florida paper, and selects five different articles of food, end runs a comparison between them as to their nuiritlvc?value. It is asserted that all food must contain oil, sugar and starch to fatten weih Tak ing corn os the basis, as being tho most universal food for hogs, the comparison ls run betweon corn, peas, sweet potatoes, chufas and peanuts, pnd aro ranked as follows In tho percentage of oil. the most valur.bio ingr?dient in the food: ohufas, peanuts, corn, peas, potatoes. Tho por centaje of sugar CM m tai ned ls as follows : chufas, sweet potatoes, corn, peas, pea nuts. Of ataren tboy rank thus : peanuts, corn. peas, chufas, potatoes. When the proportions of the various analyses aro consolidated, we find the following relative value of fleVt and fat ?traducing material : peanuts, corn, chu us, peas, potatoes. The comparison gees on to say, that If j land produces per aero, corn ton oushels, poos ton bushels, peanuts twenty-five bushels, potatoes oue hundred bushels I and chufas one hundred bushels, the pork producing value of each acre, ac cording to tbo above analysis, is as fol lows: Chufas, potatoes, peanuts, corn, peas. He assumes that lt costs to culti vate an acre of corn $5, peanuts $6, pota toes $5.25, peas $4.50, chufas $3.75. To tho producer, therefore, corn ls worth 60c. por bushel, peas 45., peanuts 24c., pota toes 51c, chufas Sic Taking corn, then, as tho unit of value, au acre of chufas ls worth 7.8 acros of corn, peanuts 3.01, peas 75 ; potatoes 3.0 ; while ton bushels of corn costa the pro ducer BS much as 133 bushels of chufas, or 20.8 of peaunta. or 8 bushels of peas, or 05 bushels of potatoes. This calculation comes near reducing tho theory of feeding to a science, but as tho calculation is made all on ono eldo, wo suggest to tho Doctor and his Florida friend that they give us something on tho part of tho hog, showing his capacity to assimilate food ot different ages, and whether as a fattening hog at ten months ho needs moro of the olly, sugary, or starchy matter to complote his growth ; and too whetbor tho same proportions of these Ingredients are necessary at all ages. Will not an old hog fatten moro on potatoes than a young ono? Will not poas fatten a growing hog more rapidly than corn ? There aro too sides to every question, and wo seo very clearly two to this, and unless some ono will bring the other side prominently bofore us wo are bound to say all this finely drawn com farison "don't amount toa row of pins." .ast fall wo turned an old sow and three shoats into a potato patch.
