There will be a meeting of the Execu- j tive Committee of the Democratic party of Anderson County at the Intelligen? cer Office on next Monday at 10 o'clock a. m. A full meeting is very important, and it is hoped that every member will attend. E. B. MURRAY, County Chairman. CAMPAIGN FUND. All the Clubs which have not contrib? uted to the State campaign fund are earnestly requested to forward their con? tributions as rapidly as possible. They are greatly needed, and Anderson County ought not to be behind. E. B. MURRAY, County Chairman. THE PRIMARY ELECTION. We publish in another column a tabu . lor statement of the vote cast at the pri mary election held in this County on last ? ?"Friday.^ The election for nominations . passed "off quietly, although great interest . was felt by the-friends of the candidates for the success of their respective favor? ites. The Democratic party of Anderson has now spoken in the manner which it decreed, and the parties who received the nominations will receive at the gen? eral election, to be held on the 5th day of November next, the undivided sup? port of the party, which will secure their election to the several offices for which they have been nominated. That the nominees are competent and well quali? fied to fill their respective positions must be con ceded, and the people o f Anderson feel assured that their interests will suffer no detriment in their hands. While this is true, it is squally true, that those who failed to receive the nominations are true . and good men, competent to fill and adorn the positions which th sir friends desired to confer upon them. The nom? inations having been made, it is now the duty of eveiy Democrat to work in earn . est to make the Democratic majority as large as possible. By doing this we '-strike terror into the Radical ranks, and show them they have nothing to hope for from a division of tho Democrats, or r- even their lethargy. Previous to the primary election all the candidates for t nominations were Democrats, standing " on the Democratic platform, and the .contest was for men and not party; but now all is changed, the party hrs placed in nomination, its candidates, who rep? resent the party, and the contesr, is now -literally one between the Democratic and Radical parties. It is no longer a contest between men, but one of principle: whether the Democrats or Republicans shall govern the State. In politics neither men nor parties are anything except so far as they represent principles. The necessity for unity and harmony in - the Democratic party was never more im? perative than at the present time. Di? visions will lead inevitably to defeat, and defeat means the re-establishment of Radical rule with all the terrible con v sequences which the people of the State endured for eight years. Party Organiza? tion is absolutely necessary for the pre? servation and perpetuation of the princi. pies of a party, and the unity of organi? zation cannot be maintained unless the voice of the party as expressed in con? ventions, by primary elections or other? wise, its may be determined, shall bind every member of it. Otherwise there will be as many factions within it as there are candidates, and instead of pre? senting 3 united front to our opponents, discord will rtnd the party and lead to certain defeat, not because there is not sufficieat adhesion to Democratic princi? ples to insure success, but that the an? tagonism of candidates and personal am? bition have destroyed that adhesion. The Democratic party of this State have little to fear from the Radical party at present. Its leaders arc mostly scattered, fugitives from justice, and it has no lead? er to direct it; yet it i? not dead, it only awaits an opportunity to again grasp the reins of government, and if the Demo? crats by either indifference or divisions afford them the opportunity nothing is more certain than that they will avail themselves of it and all the blessing se? cured to the State by Democratic success will be lost. Every Democrat in every County in the State should on the Tues? day after the first Monday in next month go to the polls and cast his ballot for the regular nominees of the party, and not only will success; D6 certain, but the lost hope of a corrupt party destroyed, and the Radicals learn that they have noth? ing to expect from dissension* among the Democrats. THE STATE FAIR. The tenth annual fair of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society will be held in Columbia.-beginning on the 12th of November next and contin? uing through ?cveral days, and every possible effort is being made by the man? agers to ensure a grand success. The State Fairs of South Carolina have not been what the people are able to make them, if tho proper interest is mani? fested. The excitement incident to the political campaign should not be allowed to divert the minds of our citizens from this institution, which, if properly man? aged and governed, can be made of great benefit to the State in developing its agricultural and mechanical resources, and by attracting to it immigratiou from other sections of the union. A success? ful fair is the best advertising medium for the section of country in which it is held in the world, as it furnishes unmis? takable evidence of thrift and industry. The benefits do not stop in the develop? ment of the resources of the State, but by bringing the people together from different sections in social intercourse, they form acquaintances and friendships that contribute a vast deal to the pleas? ures and comforts of life. A successful fair speaks volumes of the resources of a State, and may be considered a true measure of her enterprise and industry. We sincerely hope tha industries of the people of Anderson County will be fully represented in every department of the coming State Fair. There are none in the State who are in a condition to contribute more to its success than they, and if sufficient interest is only taken a very creditable exhibition of her re? sources and industries can be made. Let those articles that are awarded premiums at our County Fair this week be sent to the State Fair three weeks hence, and if they do not take the premiums that are given there, they will help to make the exhibition aL*ractive and interesting, and will ensure for Anderson the largest and most creditable display of any county in the State. We merely make this as a suggestion, but hope it will bo care? fully considered by those taking premi? ums at the Fair this week. The success of the State fair is of almost equal im? portance to our people as the success of the county fairs, and we know of no means by which its permanent establish? ment can better be secured than the one suggested. It remains for the people of the State to say whether it shall be a success or failure. The premiums of? fered are all liberal ones, and persons winning them will certainly receive them, as ample funds for that purpose are on band. Tbe various railroads iu the State will pass visitors to and from Columbia for one fare, and we hope every one who can will go, whether they have anything to exhibit or not. If General Gary has any real greivan ces of which he has cause to complain, it strikes us that party fealty and patriotism would conspire to induce him^to with? hold the effort to' right them until after the present campaign is over. He must realize that the triumph of Democracy is more important in South Carolinathan the immediate vindication of any son of our commonwealth. Where a public ser? vant suffers wrong, and bears it for the good of his people until a crisis is past, his vindication by the people is sure to be overwhelming; but when a smr.ll side-issue is thrust into public notice for decision at a time when the very civili? zation of a great people is on trial, the public mind is as apt to do wrong as to do right. For this reason, we think Gen. Gary has done wrong to alldw himself zo be interviewed while tbe State canvass is pending, for it brings into our ranl:9 an irritating subject which should have been kept out, even if a private citizen, however estimable, must temporarily suffer by tbe silence. We do not mean to take any sides upon the subject now, and think the people of the State will act wisely not to give it any attention at such an important crisis as this, when every effort should be directed towards defeating Radicalism, and none of it wasted in quarrels among ourselves. If Gen. Gary will wait until after the elec? tion, the people of South Carolina will take pleasure in hearing of any mistreat? ment he or any other citizen may have received in order that they may correct it in a substantial manner. The people are sure to see fair play, but it is not ex? pedient to attempt to distract their atten? tion from the main business before them now to consider General Gary's case. Another outrage has been committed on four citizens of Sunr.er County, who were arrested in Sumter last week on the charge of threaiening the life of T. J. Coghlan, a white Radical, in violation of the provisions of Chaptar 7, Title 70, of the Revised Statutes, at a Republican meeting lately held in the County. The affidavits were made by Coghlan and the warrants issued by the notorious Sam Lee. The parties arrested were carried to Charleston and a hearing had before a United States Commissioner, the District Attorney representing the Government. The first case heard was against Mr. McCoy. There was not a particle of tes? timony to criminate him in any way. It was not proved that he was in the town on the day of the difficulty, and even Coghlan, under whose affidavit he was arrested, swore that he did not know McCoy ; that he did not see him on the day of the difficulty, and that the Depu? ty Marshal had got the wrong man. McCoy was discharged. The other cases were continued until further testimony could be obtained, and the parties bailed, Coghlan the prosecutor becoming surety for them. There yet remain of the Rad? ical party such men as Coghlan, Sam Lee, Swails and a few others in the State who are bent on mischief, and if these bad men can in any way produce col? lision and antagonism of race they will do it._ The gentlemen who ,vere unsuccessful in the late canvass in this County have occupied a very dignified and honorable position in the canvass, and neither they nor their friends have anything to le ashamed of. They have made creditable, and in some cues flattering, runs, and the people of the whole County will no doubt appreciate their patriotic course in warmly supporting the ticket nominated. The Democrats of this County illustrate in practice their profession, that duty rises higher than personal consideration, i Up to this Time we have been working for our friends in Anderson County, but the party nominations have now been made, and we should henceforth work for the party and our ticket. Let the Dem? ocrats ui'istJ in the spirit of 76, which knew nothing except a deadly fight against Radicalism. What we did in 1S76 should be perfected in 1S7S. Wc should utterly annihilate Radicalism in this Couuty on the 5th of November. Address of the Sfnlo Democratic Execu* live Committee. Columbia, S. C, October 21,1878. The State Democratic Executive Com? mittee earnestly and heartily congratulate the Democracy of South Carolina on the splendid work already done in the present canvass. In every town and village and in many counties at every cross-road, the Demo? cratic candidates have confronted the Radical speakers, turning upon them their own arguments, and proving to the people, white and colored, the para? mount fact that there is no place or hope, no salvation or success for South Caro? lina, except by and through the Demo? cratic party. In no case have our opponents been de? nied a hearing. Every where the colored people have been invited to the Demo? cratic meetings. In like manner, in con? formity with the policy of the party, the vigilant Democratic speakers have made themselves welcome wherever were gath? ered together those who would separate the honest white man from the honest colored man, to the lasting injury of the whole State. The canvass, whatever be said, has been as peaceful as successful. It is no more iu the power of the Democratic party to prevent occasional and acciden? tal offenses than it is in the power of or? ganized human society to abolish crime. But the Democratic party of this State have the satisfaction to know that no commouwealth in the Union of equal population is more peaceful than South Carolina, and that iu no State anywhere are the laws, without respect of party or condition, more fearlessly and faithfully administered. To the law we remit those who have grievances. From the law alone and under the law the Democracy expect and compel redress. The Executive Committee, however, consider it of the utmost importance that there shall not be even the faintest dis? turbance of the public peace, or any ap? proach to turmoil or disorder. We must regard the interest of the national De? mocracy as well as the interest of the De? mocracy of South Carolina. Face to face as we are with momentous issues for ourselves and the republic, we must not give any excuse for interference with our canvass, or afford any pretext for the in? troduction this year of the hostile ele? ment which prored so embarrassing in the campaign of 1S76. The Executive Committee arc confi? dent that the Democracy will pursue without flinching the path they now tread, and pursue it to a glorious and tranquil end. The justice of our cause gives courage; organization gives force; work will :*.nd shall give us a surpass? ing and final victory. John I). Kennedy, Chairman. J. M. Johnson, W. C. Coker, J. J.

An Interview with (Jen. M. W. Gary. From the Edgcficld Advertiser. Reporter?General, we see that you are uot invited to speak at the various appointments made by the Executive Committee, what is the cause of this? General Gary?I received a letter from General John D. Kennedy, Chair? man of the State Democratic Executive Committee, several weeks ago, asking if I would take part in addressing the De? mocracy in the present campaign and consent to be assigned to speak at the mass meetings appointed by the Com? mittee. I replied that it would afford me pleasure to do so, and asked to be as? signed to the Eastern aud Southern Counties, as I had never spoken in those portions of the State. I received a no? tice dated September 16th assigning me to speak at Aiken on the 20th of Sep? tember. Ou my way there I met General Kennedy and we went to Aiken together. While we were together he told me that he had received a letter from Governor Hampton in which he said that he [Gov. Hampton) must not be assigned to the same meetings with myself, for he would not attend meetings at which I was to speak. General Kennedy asked me what it meant. I replied I did not knowj but I regarded it a high-handed request, and that he was on a very high horse. He said the request appeared an unreason? able one, and that he would look into tho matter. At the same time I informed him that I had been invited by the Chair? man of the County Executive Committee of Marlboro Couuty to speak at Bennetts ville, on the 27th of September. I found that on the 18th of September Governor Hampton, in a speech at Greenville, had made an unexpected and unfair attack upon ine politically and personally. I also found an invitation, dated Septem? ber 17th, from Cot. Law, Chairman of the County Executive Committee of Darlington, inviting me to address the Democracy on the 25th of September. Also an invitation from J. R. Bovlston, S. D. Ford, J. H. Wilson, per W. G. Vardcll, Jr., for Committee, and one from Col. George Tupper, President of Dorchester Democratic Club, to address the Democracy on the 26th of September at Summcrville. I accepted the invita? tion to go to Darlington on the 25th of September and declined with sincero re? gret the invitation to speak at Summcr? ville. Having received no notice or com? munication from General Kennedy or the Exccutivc"Committee since the Conven? tion at Aiken, I left home Monday night, September 2:!d, and reached Darlington on the evening of the 24th of Septem? ber. I went at once to the homo of my friend, Cupt It. W. Boyd, and soon af? ter my arrival there I informed him of what Gen. Kennedy had told me in ru-. gard to Gov. Hampton's request, by let? ter to Gen Kennedy. JCapt. Boyd then stated that he did not intend to tell me what he knew about the matter as he did not want to embarrass me, but since I seemed to know some of the facts he would tell me what he knew about it. He then stated that Col. Law had called upon him and had asked in his (Col. Law's) name to revoke the invitation which had been sent to me to attend their meeting, and that after consider? ing it he had declined to act in the pre? mises. He suit' Col. Law, iu obedi? ence to a request instruction from the State Executive Committee, or its Chair? man, had sent me a telegram not to come, and it was understood it was done at the instance of Gov. Hampton. I replied that I regretted that I had not received it, for then I would not have come. Shortly after my arrival at the home of Capt. Boyd and after the above conversation with him, Col. Law called upon me and took me to drive. During the drive he stated to mc he had sent me a telegram not to come. I told him that if I had received it I would not have come. He then stated that he had re? ceived information from the Slate Dem? ocratic Executive Committee that Gov. Hampton would not attend a meeting where I was to speak. Under these cir? cumstances he said he had sent me the revocation of the invitation and had de? termined to invite me to address the De? mocracy of Darlington during the County Fair. He said that the Governor would be there on the next day and that he was in somewhat of a dilemma, lie asked me if I wished to Bpcak. I replied that I had come lo address the people of Dar? lington at the invitation of the Democ? racy of the County, expressed through him as their County Chairman, and I would not willingly consent to be de? prived of the freedom of speech by Gov. Hampton or any other person. He then said, you and Gov. Hampton are the guests of Darlington County and you both shall speak. lie then asked me as a favor to him not to reply to Gov. Hampton's attack upon me in his Green? ville speech, I replied that I had made up iny mind before I left home not to re? ply to this speech of the Governor's either at Darlington or Bcnnettsvillc. If however, Gov. Hampton should attack me, 1 certainly would reply to him. Col. Law expressed himself as satisfied with the assurance. I met the. Governor tbe next day on tiic speakers stand?he did not speak to nie nor I to him. I take this occasion to say, that Col. Law behaved with the utmost delicacy and kindness towards me, in the whole matter, and that I was warmly and sat? isfactorily received by all of the people of Darlington. Reporter..?Did vou attend the meeting at Ilenncttsvilleon the 27th Sep? tember '? Gen. Gaiiy.?I did, and it was one of the best I have ever attended. I was enthusiastically received, ahd was treated with tbe greatest kindness by all the people. Gov. Hampton did not attend this meeting. Reporter.?Have yon been assigned to speak at any other meeting by the State Executive Committee? Gex. Gary.?The Executive Com? mittee assigned me to speak at Aikcn in September. Thi# is the only meeting during the campaign to which I have been assigned by that committee. On my way home I called at the rooms of State Executive Committee and was in? formed by the Secretary that I had not been assigned to speak at any other meet? ing during the campaign. Reporter.?Have you since your re? turn home received invitations to speak elsewhere in the campaign? Gen. Gaiiy.?I have been invited to speak at Walterboro on the JOth October by William J. Fishburu, Chairman of tbe Committee of Invitations. As I do not wish to interfere with the arrangments ! which may be made by the Executive Committee of the State in view of their recent order, I do not feel at liberty to to accept the invitation. An invitation has been extended to me to meet Gov? ernors Vance, Hampton and Col. J. S. Richardson and other distinguished gen? tlemen at Cberaw in the iast of this month. I have been invited by Mr. J. P. J. Caldwell, of Newberry, the County Chairman, to speak at Prosperi? ty, this week, and I have accepted the invitation. The people are the masters of Gov. Hampton, of the Executive Committee, and of myself, and they alone can successfully abridge the free? dom of speech, and they alone can ef? fectually gag me. Gen. Kcimuriy'h Version or the Mutter. As one of the reporters of the Register, we stepped into the rooms of the'State Democratic Executive Committee, as usual, to gather the news from the dif? ferent parts of the State. We found General Kennedy, the able and energetic chairman, engrossed in State affairs. After gctti'.g what news we could, we ventured to put to General Kennedy the following question : "Have you read the interview of General M. W. Gary, pub? lished in the Edgcfield Advertiser and copied by the Register: and if so, what do you think of it?'' General K.?I would not notice the article you refer to were it cot so direct and personal; nor do I deem it necessary to state what I "think of it;" but, in justice to myself and the State Executive Committee, I do regard it my duty to state a few facts in reply to your ques? tion. At the second meeting of the State Executive Committee, a list of speakers was made out to supply vacancies for the campaign, which might occur by the absence of State and Congressional nom? inees. General Gary's name was placed on that list. At a subsequent meeting of the State Committee, he requested to be assigned as speaker to Darlington, Benncttsville, and several other places, or, as he says in his own interview, to the "eastern and southern counties." His request was read to the meeting (certaiu of the members of the committee from those parts of the Slate being then pres? ent,) and it was not deemed advisable to send him there. At the same meeting, however, he was assigned to Aiken, where it was thought he would be of service. I went, to Aiken myself, and in conversation with General Gary, as to his being sent to certain places, said in effect, among e ther things, that Governor Hampton was dissatisfied with bis speech at Greenville, and also at his sneer of what he termed the "Hampton Democ? racy," and that, under the circumstances, it would be unpleasant for him to speak at tHe same lime, with one who differed ; with him so widely upon the issues of the day. Governor Hampton, on the 18th of September, in his speech at Greenville, had said, among other things: "I must enter my most emphatic dissent to the views expressed by General Gary at the recent meeting here and in his card in reply to General Gray. These views I believe to be inconsistent with the true policy of the Democratic party. I say they do not represent the opinions of our standard-bearers, nor of the Dem? ocratic party of South Carolina, and that he was not authorized to speak for your nominees." At a meeting of the com? mittee, on the 2lst of August, a resolu? tion was offered and adopted authoring the chairman to designate speakers at meetings appointed by the committee. This was clone in no spirit of dictation, bin simply to establish a rule for the as? signment of speakers, and because it was thought that the chairman being at head? quarters, and bearing from all parts of the State, might the belter judge who would be the most available speakers at the respective meetings. Reporter.?General Gary speaks of be? ing gagged. General K.?What of that? I have stated the facts. From them it appears that General Gary was selected by the State Committee ns one of the campaign speakers. He had spoken nt Spartan burg and at Greenville. It was not deemed polic, as I have stated, to send him, at his own request to Charleston, Colletnn, Darlington, Benncttsville and other places?that is to the "eastern ami southern counties." Besides that, (he speakers selected by the committee were written to as the occasion required, and requested to andres? such and such meetings, and did not thcm&ict* ask, as did General Gary, that they might be sent here and there; Moreover, he did speak at Darlington and Benncttsville, although the committee had not, at his own re? quest, sent him there ; and if General Gary was not sent where he asked the State Committee to send him, it was simply because il was not deemed ad? visable. A further answer to this talk about being "gagged" will be found in the fact that be spoke at Spartan burg and Greenville before the campaign opened, and at Darlington, Bennctts? ville and Aiken afterwards, and I, as chairman, asked him to speak at York. Some of the speakers appointed at the same time with General Gary, though among the ablest men in the State, have never spoken at all, most of them only once or twice. None of them, not even the State and county nominees, have asked to be assigned by the committee to "the eastern ami southern counties," comprising a dozen or more places, but have waited to be requested to go where the committee thought they could he of most service to the State. ' I cannot see of what General Gary has to complain, and I regret that his allusions to me have been, as I havu ?nid. so direct and per ? The Chicago Inter Ocean ?nys the" President is deeply disappointed in Wade Hampton, ff this he true Gov? ernor Hampton should go out and hang himseli immediately. Bereft of the con? fidence of Mr. Hayes ho has nothing to live for. ? If State Senator Swails, of South Carolina, says the Philadelphia Times, had lived in any Northern State and prostituted his Senatorial office as openly and recklessly as is clearly proven lie did in that State, he would be in the peniten? tiary; but having resigned his seat to escape dismissal and fled to escape pun? ishment, he has settled down in Wash? ington, where a few carpet-bug thieves yet linger, and is telegraphing over the country how the Hampton riile clubs have driven him from the Slate. As the South Carolina Penitentiary evidently haunts his dreams, he should hie him? self to the Massachusetts Botany Hay of public thieves, and put himself under the protecting wing of Gov. Rice. He will find Kimptoti there, and a fellow feeling will make Kimpton wondcrous kind to Swails. PROGRAMME ok Tin: ELEVENTH ANNUAL FAIR OF TUB ANDEBSON FAEMEBS' AND MECHANICS' ? ASSOCIATION.

J. L. TniBDLE, Secretary. Extra Liohilitv to Malarial Infection. ? Persons whose blood is thin, digestion weak and liver sluggish, are extra-liable to the attacks of malarial disease. The niOSt trifling exposure may, under such condi? tions, infect a system which, if healthy, would resist the miasmatic taint. The only way to secure immunity from malaria in localities where it is prevalent, is to tone and regulate the system by improving weakened digestion, enriching the blood, and giving a wholesome impetus to biliary secretion. ThCSC results are accomplished by nothing so effectively as Hoslctter's Stomach Hitters, which long experience lias proved to be I lie most reliable safeguard ?gainst fever and ague and kindled disor? ders, as well as the best remedy for them. The Bitters are, moreover, an excellent in vigorant of the organs of urination, and an active tlepurent, eliminating from the blood those aerid impurities which originate rheumatic ailments._ "\TOTICE TO CREDITORS. .Ol All persons having demand- against the Estate of Stephen Hanks, deceased, are hereby notified to present their claims, prop./rly proven, to the undersigned, Ad? ministrator of said Estate, within the time pre.-eril.ed by law. and all persons indebted to said Estate are hereby notified tu make prompt pavinciit to the undersigned.
