W. Keys have boen appointed man agers of election for Anderson Democratic Club. The number of pupils in attendance on tho Fall Session of Williamston Female College this year ia larger than any year sinco its establishment. The time at which it is lawful to shoot gamo in this State arrived on last Tuesday, the 15th inst., and the sportsmen will no doubt maka good usa of the permission. Mr. James Anderson informs us that ho will be prepared to furnish refreshments of every description on the Fair Grounds next week. We bospeak for him a liberal pat ronage. Persons who have books in their posses sion belonging the Library of Anderson Division are requested to return them as soon os possible to Mr. C. W. Webb, tho present Librarian. Messrs. R. A.

We hopo every one who cnn will come to the Fair next week, and bring something for exhibition. The pooplo of Anderson can, if th"-y will, mako this exhibition the best thr.t has been made since tho war. Tho Primary Election on Friday is equiv alent to an election in Anderson County, therefore if you wish to have a voice in selecting the officers for this County, go out and vote or send your vote to tho managers. Do not fail to vote in the Primary Elec tion on Friday. Every Democrat in -tbs County ought to vote or send his vote in order that tho largest possible vote may be polled so as to give no causo for complaint at the resuh. Hopewell Domoci.itic Cltth ^?11 hold their primary election at J. TM. Hamlin's school house. Managers-J. A. Hall, L. W. Gentry, L. D. Stringer. The members are requested to meet at an carly hour for the transaction of some busiucss of the Club. Wo are reliably informed that tho Rad icals of tho Fork will hold a meeting et Parker's Church, aeaf Townvllle, on tiie 25th instant, at which they invite a joint discussion. Tho other side will be well represented, both by sneakers and red shirts. Over 25,000 tickets for tbs primary elec tion in this County have, been printed at the IXTELLIQBKCEB Job Office, besides seve ral thousand in other counties. This will certainly supply each of the 3,300 voters in our Club3 with as many tickets as the pres ent programme intends shall be used by each one. Numerous wagons of cotton have been brought to Anderson from Hart and Elbert Counties; Georgia, and sold during thc past week. Our trade is looking up more than it has dono since tho building of tho Air Linc Railroad. Tho Anderson market is now beyond question tho best in tho upper portion of the State. A Division of Sont of Temperance was orgauiEcd on the 0th instant at Cross Roads Church by Rev. E. R, Cornwell, D. G. W. P., with thirty-one members. Tho following o nio ra were elected: R. 0.

Tuesday last will long be remembered as "Big Tuesday" in Anderson. On ?hst day over three hundred bales of cotton were sold, the crowd was immense, quiet and orderly, everybody apparently in good hu mot, though necessarily delayed in having their cotton weighed. If tho receipts con tinue as largo during tho remainder ofjthe week, th? sales will probably reach twelve or fifteen hundred bales. 'Rab for Ander son. We would call attention of the trading public to th? advertisement of Miss Lizzie Williams A Co., proprietors of the popular Ladies' Store of Anderson. They havo a large and carefully selected stock of goods, whirh thr>v nrniuvio to Se!! St VC~ ?C7T figures for the cash during th? next two or three months. Their stock was selected in person by Miss Williams, which is suffi cient guarantee that they sro first*class in ovcry respect. Be sure to examino their stock before purchasing elsewhere. Tho citizens of Anderson and their guests will have a rare opportunity for two even ings' enjoyment during thc Fair next week. An ablo corps of amateur actors, undor the supervision of Mrs. E. C. Davis, are rehears ing tho dramas "Single Lifo" and "Married Life," which they will present to the pnblio on Thursday and Friday evenings next, in the Masonic Hall. The proceeds will be given to tho Palmetto Riflemen. Admis sion 50 cehta, without extra chargo for re served scats. We wish them n generous patronage. On last Tuesday tho quantity of cotton in Anderson was larger-than we havo seen during the past six years. At one time tho lino of wagons leading to tho depot to have cotton weighed extended from the depot to tho public oquare, a distance of about half a nillo, and the -quote had a largo number of wagons sta.iding with loads of cotton awaiting sale. Th? price given for the fleecy staple herc is better than at the mar kets which have hitherto drawn tho trade, and tbs amennt brought to this point ovnry day ia very large. The combined railroad and political meet lng at BelUm on last Friday was attended by about two hundred persons, who IL-'cu ed moat attentively;io a number of railroad speeches in tba morning, witing forth tho advanta??s of rsilroada, lautlcularly those! seeking a Wettern connection, and allowing tbe advantaged offered by the Belton, Eas by and French Broad line, after which a . considerable sum of money waa subscribed towards the projected roath A magnificent basket dinner- was then spreaoV and waa greatly enjoyed by all who were present. After dinner a unmber of political speeches were made, at the conclusion of which tho meeting was adjourned. If Uie outrage at Townvillo is in accord aneo with tu? programme of thc Radicals in this County lor the treatment of.colored men, who have'thc independence and intel ligence to support the Democratic party, which hov given this Stato tho only good government it has had since reconstruction, then we take this occasion to waru them tbattbey had better change that programme, for it will not bo submitted to under any circumstances. Ono of tho pledges mudo to the colored peoplo by the Democratic party in this Stato is that they will protect tho colored men who voto A it h us from tho vio lence of thc tscnsulcvj mob, which ls swayed by wily and designing leaders. This prom ise, .like all others that we have made, we Intend most solemnly to maintain, and tho law will bb most rigidly administered to those who mistreat a colored Democrat. The colored people of this County shall have the right to vote tho Democratic ticket without molestation, and ovcry Democrat in thc County stands ready with his life, if need be, lo see that this guarantee ls fully com piled with. We do not trouble Republicans, and they will not bo permitted to interfere with Democrats. If Parker and his violent followers have not learned this already they had better understand it now, for if it is at tempted again the whole of those aiding or abetting mid not only the ring leaders will bc arrested. The colored Democrats and all who wish to go with us may rest assured Dint they will fee protected by tho Demo crats, und that any person attempting tc harm them will bo severely punished.

It was the child's first vi: to a gin house, and, as might have been e peeled, the moat attractive feature about t place to bim waa tue horses and machine underneath the gin.

After 1 speaking a splendid barbecued dinner v spread before the crowd, and every c seemed to-have a most plonRunfc d?y. Several citizens from tho Brushy Cr? country have been to Anderson with cotl to sell during tho past week, and expr?s: themselves as highly ploased with the pl as n market.

At about nino o'clock last Wednesday night the citizens of this placo were sudden ly thrown into considerable excitement by tho rapid succession of some ten or twelve ulstnl -th ota Toceodin1* from the direction of a colored man's house in tho edge of town where a "nigger break-down" or "shin-dig" waa in progress. As soon as some gentlemen could bestir themselves a colored man was discovered in f?ll ?ight tor thc main street, being closely pursued by a mob of his own color, shouting "catch him," -'kill him," " shoot the d-d rascal," and much simi lor language. Before many of tho citizens could get to the scene thc colored man had taken refuge in the house of Mr. Gaines, for whom be bad worked in the early part of this year. Ho had barely passed the gate and reached tho piazza before the mob had clambered upon the yard fence and threat ened to go in end take him out forcibly and kill him. It was with difficulty that Mr. Gaines and some gentlemen who had bzen attract et. thither could pruveut them from further attempting to carryout their threat. The mob then declared they would follow their would-be victim-to where he lives about a mile out of town-and there kill bim before the night wore away ; but thoy were finally induced to disperse and go away, and Mr. Gaines protected their in tended victim tho remainder of tho night. Thc colored man, John Williams by name, who hud been thus violently set upon, is an avowed Democrat, of an eminently pcacea- I bie disposition ; but the fact of his political preferences renders him, as well os some other colored men of this community who have the boldness to express their determi nation to volo with tho Democrats, ex tremely obnoxious to those of their color who blindly porslst in adhering to Radical ism. Williams had been cordially invited to bo at tho frolic, but th* real purpose in the invitation is clearly shewn by the sequel. Tho other negroes charged Wil liams with raising tho difficulty and with firing first, but tho evidence adduced at tho preliminary examination held by Justice W. F. M. Font refutes this. Williams is known to bo inoffensive, while the others aro known everywhere to bo tho worst kind of characters-excepting ono of thom, per haps. Williams procured warrants for th? arrest of six of the party that attacked bim, and they were all promptly brought before Justice Font, who held the examination as above stated. In default of bail tho six Andy Lewis, Dock, Williams, Vernon Mack, Norris Edwards, Ntimor Campbell and Jim Edwards-were committed to Anderson jail .on Friday ?o await for their investiga tion. Tho community is quiet. The oc currence is regretted by the whites, though they had no part in it. It is clearly a coso of political persecution, and is no doubt the outgrowth of Parker's teachings. The final result will doubtless teach the negroes the egltimnte reward of all such dastardly at tempts. Qui Viva. SHOE SHOP AT WHITE HALL.
