All thc Clubs which have not contrib uted to the State campaign fund are earnestly requested to forward their con tributions aa rap'dly as possible. They aro greatly needed, and Anderson County ought not to bo behind. E. B. MURRAY, County Chairman. THE PRIMARY ELECTION. Wc publish in auother column a tabu lar statement of tho vote cast at the pri mary election held hi luis Cut'".ly :?n iaat Friday. Tho election for uominations passed off quietly, although great interest was felt by the friends of tho candidates for tho success of their respective favor ites. Thu Democratic party of Anderson has now spoken in tho manner which it docreed, and tho parties who received the nominations will receive at tho gen eral election, to bo 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 nomin?os are competes* and weil quali fied to fill their respectivo positions must be conceded, and tito people of Anderson feel assured that their interests will s udor no detriment in their banda. While this ?a true, if is equally true, that those who failc* ?o receive the nominations are true and uv/od men, competent to fill and adoru thc positions which their friends desired to confer upon them. Tho nom inations having beeu made, it is now tho duty of evciy Democrat to work in earn est to make tho Democratic majority as large aa possible. By doing this we strike terror into the Radical ranks, and show them they hayo nothing to hope for from a division of tho Democrats, or even their lethargy. Previous to tho primary election all the candidates for nominations were Democrats, standing on tho Democratic platform, and the contest was for men and not party ; but now all is cbrnged, the party has placed in nominal: . ita candidates, who rep resent the party, and tho contest ia now literally one between tho Democratic and Radical parties. It is no longer a contest between men, but ono of pringle: whether thc Democrats or Rept:V.;t?ana shall govern the State. In politics . neither men nor parties uro anything except so far as they represent principles. Tho necessity for unity and harmony in the Democratic porty was never more im perativo than at tho present time. Di visions will lead inevitably to defeat, and defeat means tho re-establlshmout of Radical 's with all the terrible con sequences which the people of the State endured for eight years. Party organiza tion is absolutely necessary for tho pre servation and perpetuation of tho princi. pies of a party, and the unity of organi zation cannot be maintained uulcss tho voies of tho party as expressed in con ventions, by primary elections or other ~?;c, az TT?sy t? determined, snail bind every member of it. Otherwise thcro will be as many factious within it as there aro candidates, and instead of pre senting a united front to our opponents, discord will rend the party and lead to certain defeat, not because thero is not sufficient adhesion to Democratic princi ples to insure success, but that the an tagonism of candidates and personal am bition h?ve ?JUD?royed that adhesion. Tho Democratic party of this State have little to fear from tho Radical party at present. Its leaders are n.'.stly scattered, fugitives from justice, acd it has no lead er to direct it; yet it is not dead, it only awaits an opportunity to again grasp the reins of government, and if tho Demo crats by either indifference or divisions afford them the opportunity nothing is sucre certain than that they will avail themselves of it, and all the Meralng se cured to the State by Democratic success wiii be lost. Evsry Democrat ia ?very County in tho State should on the Tues day after the Srst Monday in next month go to tho polls and cast his ballot for the regular nominees of the r*.rty, and not ??\j wn? success bo certain, bul the huit hope of a corrupt nerty destroyed, and the Radicals lean? jEhat they have noth ing to. expect from dissension1 among the THE ?TATE FAIR. The tenth annual fair of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society will be held in Columbia, beginning on thc 12th of November next and contin uing through ?ovcral days, ami every possible effort is being made hy the man agers to ensure a grand BUCOCHS. The State Fairs of South Carolina have not been what tho people ar*- able to make them, if the proper interest is mani fested. Tho excitement incident to the political campaign shoult not bc allowed to divert the minds of our citizens from this institution, which, if properly man aged and governed, can bc made of great benefit to thc State in developing its agricultural and mechanical resources, and by attracting to it immigration from other sections of the union. A success ful fair is the best advertising medium for thc section of country in which it ix held in the world, as it furnishes unmis takable evidence of thrift and industry. Tho benefits do not stop in the develop ment of the resources of the State, bul by bringing the people together from different sections in social intercourse, they form acquaintances and friend-hips that contribute a vast deal tb thc pleas ures and couiforts of life. A successful fair speaks volumes of thc resources of a State, and may be considered a true measure of her enterprise and industry. We sincerely hope tho industries of the people of Anderson County will be fully represented in every department of the coming State Fair. There are none in tho State wi: > are in ft condition to contribute more to ils succ?s? than they, and if sufficient interest is only taken s, very creditable exhibition of her re sources and industrie* can be made. Let those articles that arc awarded premiums at our County Fair this week be sent to the State Fair titree weeks hence, and if they do not take the premiums that are given thers, they will help to make the exhibition attractive and interesting, and will ensure for Anderson the largc-t and most creditable display of any county in the State. We merely make this as a suggestion, bul hope it will be care fully considered by those taking premi ums ut 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 wc know of no means by which its permanent establish ment can better he 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 aro all liberal ones, and persons winning them will certainly receive them, as ample funds for thai purpose are on hand. The various railroads in the State will pass visitor: to and from Columbia for one faro, and we hope every one who can will go, whether they hnve anything to exhibit or not. If General Gary h:ts 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 td righi them until after thc present campaign is over. He must realize that tho triumph of Democracy is moro important in South Carolina than tho immediate vindication of any son of our commonwealth. Where a public ser vant suffers wrong, and hears it for thc good of his people until a crisis is past, his vindication by the people is sure to bo overwhelming; but when a small side-issue is thrust into public notice for decision nt 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, wc think Gen. Gary has dono wrong to aildw himself to be interviewed while the State canvass is pouding, for it brings into our ranks au irritating subject which should have been kept out, even if a private citizen, however estimable, must temporarily suffer by thc silence. We do not mean to take any sides upon the subject now, aud think the people of thc State will not wiselv .!!..! . i crlvr. lt an? attention at B -J -...v... ..V such an important crisis ns 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 tile 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 bas been committed on four citizens ol Sumter County, who were arrested in Sumter last week on the charge of threatening the life of T. J. Coghlan, a whito Radical, in violation of tho provisions of Chapter 7, Title 70, of tho Revised Statutes, at a Republican meeting lately held in the County. The affidavits were mado by Coghlev *\nd thc warrants issued by tho notc-'-us Sam Leo. The parties arrested were carried to Charleston and a hearing had before a United States Commissioner, the District Attorney representing tho Government. Tho first case heard was against Mr. McCov. Therfl wa* not. a >">?riiclc cf tes timony to criminate bira in any way. It was not proved that ho was in the town on tho day of tho difficulty, and even Coghlan, antler whoso affidavit ho was arrested, Bworo that he did not know McCoy ; that ho did not seo him on thc day of tho difficulty, and that the Depu ty Marshal had got tho wrong man. McCoy was discharged. The other cases were continued until further testimony could be obtained, and tho 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 were unsuccessful in the late canvass ir. this County have occupied a very dlgn'.ficd and honorable position in the C?A '/ass, and neither they nor their friends hare anything to bo ashamed of. They have made creditable, and in some cases flattering, runs, and tho people of tho whole County will no doubt appreciate their patriotic course in warmly supporting the ticket nominated. The Democrats of this County illustrate in pmcttco their profession, that duty* rices higher tbah personal consideration. Up to t li is time we have been working for our friends in Anderson County, ind tbe party nominations have now been made, and we should bedeck1 ftli work for Ihe party and our ticket.

The State Democratic Executive Com mittee earnestly and heartily congratulate the Democracy of South Carolina on the hplcudid work already ?lone in thc pre-cut canvass. In every town and village ami in many counties ut every cross-road, thc Demo cratic candidates have confronted the Radical .'.peaker*, turning upon them their own argument*, and proving to the people, white and colored, the para mount fact that tiler?' is no place or hope, no salvation or success for South Caro lina, except by and t! rough the Demo cratic party. In no casu have our opponents been de nied a hearing. Everywhere the colored people have been invited to the Demo cratic meeting!*. In like manner, in con formity with thc policy of thc party, the vigilar:; Democratic -peaker* have made themselves welcome wherever were gath ered together tho. e who would separate the honest white man from the houc.-t colored man, to the lasting injury uflhc whole State. The canvass, whatever he said, has been as peaceful as successful. It is no more in the power of the D?mocratie party to prevent occasional and acciden tal offenses than it i-? in tin; power ni or ganized human society to n liol ?sh c ?e. Hut thc Democratic party of this State have the satisfaction to know that no commonwealth in thc I nion of equal population i-> inure peaceful than South Carolina; and that in no State anywhere are the laws, without respect of party or condition, more fearlessly and faithfully ?id m i ri i ste red. To thc law we remit those who have grievances. From th;- law atone and under the law the Democracy expect and compel redress. Th" Executive Committee, however, consider it of th?' utmost importance ih.it there shall not he evi n the faintest dis turbiincc of the public peace, or any ap proach to turmoil or disorder. We must regard thc interest ni the national De mocracy as well a> the interest of thc De mocracy of South Carolina. Face to face as wc are willi 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 cle ment which proved so embarrassing iu thc campaign of 1876. The Executive Committee are confi dent that the Democracy will pursue without flinching the path they now tread, and pursue it lo a glorious and tranquil end. The justice ot our cuu.-e ?.ives courage ; organization gives force; work will and shall give us a surpass ing and final victory. John 1>. Kennedy, Chairman. J. M. Johnson, W. C. Coker, J. J.

An Interview with (Jen. M. W. tiary. I'rnin the Edycficld Advertiser. RKI'ORTER-General, we sec that you are not invited to speak ut tho various appointments made by thc Executive Committee, what is the cause of this? GENERAL OAKY-I received a letter from (Ieueral John I>. Kennedy, Chair man of the State Democratic Executive Committee, several weeks ?go, 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 alford mc pleasure to do so, and usked to bo as signed to the Eastern and Southern Counties, as I had never spoken ia those portions of the Statf. I received a no tice dated September liJth assigning me to speak at Aiken on the 20ib of Sep tember. Un my way lhere I met General Kennedy and ve went to Aiken together. While wo were together he told nie that he hud received si Kiter from Governor Hampton in which ho said that he (Gov. Hampton) must not be assigned to the same meetings with myself, for he would uol attend meetings ut which I was to .>peak. (5ener.il Kennedy asked me what it meant. I replied I did not know', hut. I regarde ; high-handed request, and that he wai vin a very high horse. He said the request appeared an unreason able one, and that he would look into thc matter. At the same time I informed him tint 1 had been invited hy the Chair man of the County Executive Committee of Marlboro County to speak at Rennet ts ville, on thc 27ih of September. I found that on the 18th of September Governor Hampton, iu a speech ut Greenville, hud made au unexpected and unfair attack upon me politically and personally. I ! als/? found an invitation, dated Septem j ber 17th, from Col. Law, Chairman of the County Executive Commitleo of Darlington, inviting mc to address thc Democracy on the 25th of September. AUo au invitation from J. R. Boylstoti, S. D. Ford, J. II. Wilson, per W. G. Vardell, Jr., for Committee, und one fiom Col. George Tupper, President of ' Dorchester Democratic Club, to addre?^ the Democracy on the 26th of September at Summerville. I accepted the invita tion to go to Darlington on thc 25th of I September and declined with sincere re gret the invitation to speak at Summer ville. Having received no notice or com munication from General Keuncdy or thc Executivc"Comniittee since tho Conven tion at Aiken, I left home Monday night, September 2;td, and reached Darlington on thc evening of the '2-lth of Septem ber. I went at once to thc home of my friend, Capt R. W. Royd, nod soon af ter my arrival thcro 1 informed him of what Gen. Kennedy hud told me in r,? gardtoGoV. Hampton's request, by let ter to Gen Kennedy. |Capt. Boyd* then stated that he did not intend to tell me what he knew about tho matter as he did not w ant to embarrass, me, but since I seemed to know some of thc facts he would tell mo what he knew about it. He then stated that Col. Law hud called upon him and had asked in his (Col. Law's) name to revoke thc invitation which had been sent to mo to attend their meetina. and that after cotisiuC-? hig it he hud declined to act in thc pre mises. Ho said that Col. Law, in obedi ence to a request or 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 T regretted that I had not roceived it, for then I would not havo come. Shortly after my arrival at the home of Capt. Boyd and after tho above conversation with him, Col. Law called upon me and took me to drive. During tuc drive he stated to me he had sent mo a telegram not to come. I told bim that if I hud received it I would not have como. He fr -n stated that he had re ceived information from the State Dem ocratic Executive Com millee that Gov. Hampton would not attend a meeting where I was to speak. Under these cir ! cumstanccs he said ho had sent me fhn ! revocation of thc invitation and had de termined to invite mo lo nddreas the De mocracy of Darlington during tho County Fair. Ile said that the Governor would be there on tho next day and that he was in somewhat of a dilemma. He' asked me if I wished to speak. I replied thai ! im 1 come lo address the people of Dar lington at thu invitation OJ* lue Democ racy of the County, expressed through hiin as their Comity Chairman, and 1 ivould not willingly consent to be dc pi'ved of the freedom of speech by Gov. Hampton or any other person. He then . ii i. you and GOT. Hampton are the guests' of Darlington County and you both shall speak. Ile then asked meas a favor lo him not to reply lo Gov. Hampton"- attack upon inc in lija Green ville speech, I replifd that 1 had made ni? my mind before I left home not tb >..? ply to this speech of the Governor's either nt Darlington or iJenncttsville. If ; however, Gov. Hamilton idionld attack mo, i certainly would rcpiy to him. Col. i I.aw expressed himself its satisfied with ^ thc assurance. linet tho Governor the next dav ou thc speakers stand-he did not ?peak to me nor I to him. I rake thi-. occasion to say, that Col. Law behaved with tho utmost delicacy ? and kindlier towards me. in tin-whole i matter, and that I was warmly, and ?at- ! i.sfactorily received by all of the people of Darlington. l.Kl'OKTKlt.-Did von attend the meeting at Bennetuville on tho 27thSep tember 1 GRS. GAIIY.-I did, and it was one of the best I have evtr attended. 1 was enthujinstically received, and was treated with the greate-t kindness by ali the; people. Gov.

A* I do not wish to i mer ft v with the arraiigineuls which may he made by the Executive Committee of the Stats* in view of their recent order, I do nut feel at liberty to toucrcptthc invitation. Ari invitation ha? been extended tome to meet Gov ernors Vance, Hampton ami Col. J. S. Ilichardsnn and other distinguished gen tlemen at Ct.craw in the last of this month. I have boen invite! by Mr. J. F. J. Caldwell, of Newberry, the County Chairman, to speak at Prosperi ty, this week, and I have accepted the invitation. The people arc the masters of Gov. Hampton, of thc Executive Committee, and of myself, and they alone can successfully abridge the free dom of speech, and they alone can ef fectually gag me. Hrn, Kennedy*! Version of thc Matter. As one of the reporters of the Ilegish we ?ttpped into the rooms of tho ?tale Democratic Executive Committee, usual, to gather tiie news from tho dif ferent parts of the St.ito. We found General Kennedy, the able and energetic . hairmau, engrossed in Slate altai rs. After getting what news we could, ve ventured to out to General Kennedy the following question : "Have yon ? cad the interview of General .M. \V. Gary, pub lished in thc Edgcfield Adi ,rlij<r and copied by the Jiegister: and if so, what do you think of it ?" General K.-I would not notice tin article you refer to wore it not so dircc! and personal; nor do I deem it necessary to state what I "think of it;" hut, in justice to myself and the State Executive Committee, I do regard it my duty to state a few fact? in reply to your ques tion. At the second meeting of the State Executive Committee, u list of speakers wa* made out to supply vacancies for i tho campaign, which might occur by the absence of State anil Congressional nom inees. General Gary's name was placed on that list. At a subsequent meeting of the State Committee, he requested to he assigned as sneaker to Darlington, Bennettsville, 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 (cettaiu of tho members of the committee from those parts of the State being then pres ent,'! and it was not deemed advisable r > send him there. At thc same meeting, however, he was assigned to Aiken, where il was thought he would he 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 other things, that Governor Hempson was dissatisfied with hi? opee al Greenville, ami also nt. his sneer of ! ...V.... kn'tAMItlwl ll... "tl....... n - n ass ::~ vvr:::~"i '.'.'.li ........,|>ivsu i/cmi racy," and that, under the circumstances, it would bo unpleasant for him to speak al the same t ne, willi ono who dillered willi him so widely upon the issues of j the day. Governor Hampton, on the 18lh of September, in bia .-.peech at < "?reenville, had said, among other things: i must outer my most emphatic dissent to the views expressed by General Gary at thc recent meeting here and in his card in reply to General Gray. These views I believe to bc 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 tho com mittee, on thc 21st of August, a resolu tion was oflered and adopted authorizing the chairman to designato speakers at meetings appointed by thc committee. This was done in no spirit of dictation, bm simply to establish a rule for the as signmcnt ot speakers, and because it was thought that the chairman being at head quarters, and hearing from all parts of I the State, might the better judge who I would be the most available speakers at tho respective meetings. Reporter.-General Gary speaks of be ing gagged. Getioral K.-What of that? I have -datod the facts. From them it appears that General Gary was selected by the State Committee as ono of the campaign speakers. He had spoken at Spartan burg and at Greenville. It VIM noi deemed polic, as I have staten, to send him, ut his own request to Charleston, Colleton, Darlington, Benncttavillo and other places-that is to the "eastern and southern counties." Besides that, the speakers selected by thc committee were written to as the occasion required, and request?-; ( to address such and such meetings, and did not t/mnsrlres ask, ns did General Gary, that they might be sent here and there; moreover, he did speak ai Darlington and Bcnnettsviiic, nithough the committee had not, at his own re quest, sent him there ; and if General Cary was not sent where he asked thc State Committee to send him, it was. simply because it waa not deemed ad visable. A further answer to this talk about being "gagged" will be found in tho fact (nat ne spoke at Spartanburg and Greenville before the campaign opened, and at Darlington, Bennetts ville and Ai!-:. afterwards, and I, as chairman, askt. aim to speak at York. Some of tho speakers appointed at the same time with General Gary, though nmong thc ablest men in the Stats, have novor spoke:: at all, most of theta Otiiy once or twice. Nono of them, not even the State and county nominees, have asked to be assigned by the committee to "the eastern and southern counties,'7 comprising a doten or more places, but ll t VA t.. 1 v.. ........... t ..

Thc most trifling oxposuro may, under such condi tions, infect a system which, if healthy, would resist th? miasmatic taint. Thc only way to secura immunity from malaria in localities where it is prevalent, is to tone and regulate thc system hy improving weakened digestion, enriching the blood, und giving a wholesome, impetus to biliary socrt-tiou. These resulta are accomplished by nothing so effectively as Hostetter'i Stomach Bitters, which long experience has proved to be tho most reliable safeguard against fever nod ague and kindled disor ders, as well as thc best remedy for thom, The Bitters ara, moreover, on excellent in i igorant of thc "rgnns cf urination, um? un active d?purent, eliminating from the blood those acrid impurities which originate rheumatic ailments.
