The meetings are very important, and it is earnestly hoped every member of J the Clubs, who can do so, will attend these meetings and unite in sending representa? tive delegates to the coming Convention.

B. B. MURRAY, County Chairman. The Radical County Converttion. In obedience to the call of W. R. Parker, County Chairman, the Republicans of this County met in Convention at Anderson on last Saturday for the purpose of electing delegates to the State Republican Conven? tion, which met in Columbia yesterday to elect delegates to the National Convention, which meets in Chicago. At about 11 o'clock the delegates,. 35 or 40 in number, all colored, gathered at the Greeley Institute, and after they had been pretty generally and thoroughly collogued and juggled with by Parker and Pat Kirk land, assembled in the Institute and was called to order by Parker, who stated that there was a considerable difference of opin? ion as to where the meeting should be held, whether in the Court House, which had been tendered, or at the place where they were then assembled. He said that he was himself in favor of holding the meeting in the Court House, but as there was a good many of .the delegates who were "opposed to going to the Court House and thought they should hold forth in the Institute, he would submit the question to the delegated for them to ' decide, which he did, and which resulted in an almost unanimous vote in ' favor of the Institute, there being only two delegates voting to go to the Court House. This vote showed very clearly that the re? port circulated on the public square a few minutes before the delegates gathered at the Institute that the Convention would be held in the Court House, and that the meet-1 ing appointed at the Institute was only for the purpose of arranging the details for the Convention, was intended to deceive the white people and keep them from attending the Convention. There was not a single reason given in the Convention for holding the meeting in the Institute, except that some of the delegates were afraid of being worried by the Democrats. After the settlement of this matter, Par? ker read the call for the State Convention and also his call for the County Convention, giving the number of delegates each pre? cinct in the County were entitled to, and then stated that the first business was to elect temporary officers, which was' accord? ingly proceeded with. Sam. Johnson was nominated and elected temporary chairman and G. D. Williams temporary secretary. Williams declined the election, and Jehu Thomas was chosen in his stead. Johnson, who was found not to be in the house, was loudly and repeatedly called for, but as ;he was a little tardy about coming in, it gave Lawrence Walker time to put in an objec? tion to elevating Sam, to the chair on the. | ground that he would be more valuable to the Con vention out of the chair. This bril? liant idea seemed to take, and a motion was then made by Henry Kennedy, who was not a member of the Convention, that Par? ker be made temporary chairman, which was enthusiastically received and adopted. It was then moved and seconded that a committee of five be appointed on creden? tials, but before the motion was submitted another motion was made to appoint an as? sistant secretary. This created some con? fusion, and one of the learned ones arose "to a pint of order," and submitted that two motions could not be considered at the same time, and that it was the duty of the chair to put the motion appointing the committee of five on credentials first, whereupon Prof. (?) G. D. Williams, who seems to know more about parliamentary law than even Prof. Meli, arose and stated "for the information of the chair" that ac? cording to parliamentary law the last mo? tion made before a body should always be the first considered. This seemed to please Parker, who nodded approval to what Wil? liams bad said, and proceeded in accordance with his decision. Henry Harrison was then elected assistant temporary secretary, after which the motion to appoint the com? mittee on credentials was adopted, and the following constituted the committee, viz.: Anthony Webb, W. R. Redmond, Mose Lee, Davis Williams and James McDowell. On motion of Sam Johnson, the chairman of the committee was then called up by Parker and examined as to whether he was a delegate or not, after which the committee retired to make up their report. During the absence of the committee, Sam Johnson and Parker were colloguing nearly the entire time, and seemed intent on some matter of vital importance. After an ab? sence of about half an hour, the committee returned and reported thirty-five delegates present, all of the precincts in the County being represented exoept Honea Path, Wil liamBton, Sandy Springs, Craytonville and the Corner. Parker here again raised the question of going to the Court House, and said that if the colored people got afraid to hold their County Convention in the Court House they would get afraid to go to the polls and vote. Considerable confusion here prevailed, and jawing was here indulged in pretty generally, but very few expressions could be caught. It was evident, however, that they did not intend to rescind their for? mer vote, and after the lapse of a few min? utes order was restored, and the report of the committee was received and adopted. The temporary officers were then made the permanent officers of the Convention and Parker, with characteristic pomposity, an? nounced the Convention duly organized and ready for business. Sam Johnson then moved to elect Juhn B. Cochran the first delegate to the State Convention, which was unanimously adopt? ed. Lawrence Walker moved that a com ruittee of five be appointed to nominate the remaining three delegates, when Parker re? marked: "As God moves in a mysterious way, I put the motion, but I cannot see why one delegate should be elected one way and the other three another." This witty re? mark brought down the liouso, and after everybody had laughed until they were sat? isfied the motion was submitted and carried by a large majority, but it "appeared" to Parker that the "Xos" had it, and he so decided. A delegate by the name of Fisher then nominated Parker as a delegate, who was unanimously elected. Jere Cherry from the Fork nominated Sam Johnson and Cape Skeltou nominated Pat Kirkland, of Spar? enburg, both of whom were elected. This completed the delegation, with which every? body seemed perfectly satisfied, and after the election of Mose Lee and Henry Kenne? dy as alternates, a motion was made to ad? journ, but, as Sam Johnson objected to it, Parker did not submit it to a vote. A petition to the President for the appoint? ment of Col. Cochran as United States Mar? shal for the District of South Carolina was read to the Convention, when it was decided that it should be signed by the delegates and forwarded to Washington. The petition de? clared that Col. Cochran was a staunch Re [ publican, that he had done more to reform the Republican party in South Carolina ; than any other man in the State, that his record as a legislator during the six years he represented Anderson County in the Gener? al Assembly of South Carolina would com? pare most favorably with that of any Sena? tor or Representative in the State before or since the war, and that his appointment as Marshal would give universal satisfaction to the citizens of the entire State, regardless of political opinions. Sam Johnson then introduced a resolution highly complimentary of Senator Hampton, and pledging the Republicans of Anderson County to support him for whatever office he may offer for in the future. Sam denomi? nated his resolution " Peace and Harmony," but instead of promoting peace and harmo? ny it created confusion and aroused the ire of a few of the mast faithful, among whom was Parker, who declared that he could not endorse the resolution and would not abide by it if it was adopted. This remark seemed to satisfy Johnson, who declared that what? ever Parker said was law with Anderson Radicals, and that he would withdraw the resolution. We endeavored to secure the resolution for publication, but were in? formed by one of the secretaries that it was taken from his desk by some one, he did not know whom. The request was made in the presence of Parker and a number of others, and we discovered at the time that Parker especially did not want the resolu? tion printed, which, no doubt, fully explains its mysterious and unaccountable disappear? ance. But Johnson was bent on having a resolution of some kind passed, and after his "Peace and Harmony" resolution was withdrawn, offered another, which provided for the appointment of three persons, who, with the County Chairman, were to consti? tute a board of counsel for the Republican party of this County. But this resolution met with no better reception than the other, and so displeased Parker that he declared that if it was adopted he would at once re? sign. He did not believe in forming cliques, and that was what the resolution proposed to do. It would take from him his power as County Chairman, and would render in? effective any efforts he might make to carry the party successfully through the coming campaign. Sam then took the floor, and was beginning to score it to Pasker pretty severely, when Willis Redmond moved to adjourn. The motion was seconded, and when put to the Convention was unani? mously adopted. This, of course, put a stop to Sam's speech, and seemed to give Parker a great deal of pleasure. The Convention was accordingly declared adjourned, and the delegates, after talking among themselves for some time, dispersed. Honea Path. The Methodist Sunday School will have a celebration at this place onj'the 8th of May, at which time Prof. Duncan, of Wof ford College, will deliver a Sunday School address, and a Temperance lecture in the evening. An effort will then be made to organize a Good Templars Lodge, which, no doubt, will meet with cordial support. With no barroom and a Temperance Lodge, Honea Path will be particularly dry.A number of our citizens, both married and single, made a fishing party on last Satur? day, and spent the day on Broadmouth Creek catching the finny tribe, &c. Other duties prevented your correspondent the pleasure of attending, but from what I can learn the day was greatly enjoyed by all present, and although the party was small Anderson, Beiton, Williamston and Lau rens were represented. The representatives from Anderson were the most successful in catching fish as well as larger game.Our farmers-are getting along nicely with their work, many of them are now almost through with their planting, and we notice several fields of cotton up beautifully. The destruction of the peach crop is not near so general as was first supposed. A number of orchards are very full.Mr. A. P. Shirley may be considered one of our enterprising citizens. Besides a splendid j residence, he has just finished a neat side? walk from his residence to the businesspor j tion of the town, and is now busily engaged getting out lumber for two store-rooms. I Mr. C. E. Harj?er is also busy making brick for three store-rooms.In the near future we expect to see Honea Path doing a large mercantile business. The amount of fertili? zers sold here this season proves conclusive? ly that it is located for a large trade, and I an" that is necessary to bring the trade here ! is for the merchants to sell as cheap as other j markets, and we believe they will do this as soon as the frieghts to this place are put on I an equal footing with other markets. I There will be communion services held in1 ' the Presbyterian church on next Sabbath, Rev. W. F. Pearson officiating. After this j date there will be regular service every first j Sabbath in the Presbyterian church, every | second and third in the Methodist, and ev? ery fourth in the Baptist. Honea Path will, therefore, be supplied with preaching every Sabbath. Vidette. Golden Wedding. Mr. Edito3 : On Tuesday, 20th inst., we had the pleasure of assisting in celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of Col. T. J. and Mrs. Pickens' wedding. There were some thirty-five or forty persons present, consist? ing of children, grand-childrenfold neigh? bors and friends. The drawing-room was very tastefully decorated with flowers, and on the walls hung pictures of the Colonel and lady, as they were in their younger days. Over the pictures in the form of an arch, inscribed in letters of gold, was, "Thy children will arise up and call thee blessed." As soon as all the guests had arrived, they sat down to a magnificent and most recherche banquet, which was presided over by the bride and groom in their usual hospitable and courte? ous manner. Among the servants was an old colored man who officiated as butler, both on this occasion and the original wedding fifty years ago. All went as merry as weddings in general should, ard just before nightfall the guests hft, each and all, heartily wishing the ven? erable couple many more years of wedded happiness. Exe. The guano "boom" has about subsided. BRIEF MENTION. The water oaks on our streets present a beautiful appearance. Mr. W. W. Keys, our local editor, is ab? sent this week in Charleston. In the absence of the pastor, Rev. J. 6. Murray supplied the Baptist pulpit on last Sunday. j Messrs. Bleckley, Brown & Co. are huving their commodious warehouse, in the rear of their store, painted. Last Saturday was one of the busiest days our merchants have had since the opening of the Spring trade. It is the general opinion now that we will have a half peach crop. If this is true, we will have plenty of fruit. Dr. A. P. Johnstone is at present on a visit to his relatives in Newberry. He will return home next Wednesday. Do not forget to attend the Hot Supper in Masonic Hall on Friday evening. Din? ner will also be served at 1 o'clock. Mr. John A. Wilcox, a compositor on that-spicy little paper, the Hartwell (Ga.) Sun, gave us a call on last Saturday. Rev. J. S. Murray has been nominated by the State Builder, published at Spartan burg, for Superintendent of Education. Anderson can boast of as an efficient Postmaster and accommodating clerk as any town under "Uncle Sam's" domain. Our visitors to Charleston have been re? turning on every train since Friday. Every? body seems to have enjoyed the trip very much. ? The small grain crops are beginning to head out; many fields around the town look well, and it is hoped the yield will be abundant. Married, April 22nd, 1580, by Rev. W. P. Martin, at his residence, Mr. Win. Smith and Miss Mary E. Thompson, all of An? derson County. Married, April 25th, 1880, by Rev. W. P. Martin, at his residence, Mr. Joseph E. Gambrell and Miss Annan. Pool, all of An? derson County. Married, on Thursday evening, April 15, 1880, by Rev. G?W. Peyton, Mr. W. K. Sanders and Miss Nannie Vandiver, all of Belton, Texas. St. Matthew Baptist Church, colored, sit? uated about five miles from town, on the Shallow Ford road, will be dedicated on the 1st Sunday in May. The Baptist 8unday School will have a picnic on Silver Brook on Saturday, 15th of May, and every arrangement will be made to ensure a pleasant occasion. Allendale, in Barnwell County, has passed an ordinance providing against the carrying of concealed weapons. Why can-' not Anderson do the same ? The Anderson County Singing Conven? tion convenes with Midway Church, about five miles North of this place, on Saturday and Sunday, 15th and 16th of May. From a letter received in Columbia on last Saturday, it is learned that the physi? cians of ex-Governor Chamheriain, former? ly of South Carolina, have pronounced him insane. Capt. T. C. Ligon, the polite and accom? modating Clerk of the Town Council, in? forms us that the books are now open for the collection of the Savannah Valley Rail? road tax. Married, at the residence of the bride's father, March 25th, 1880, by S. A. Hardin, Esq., Mr. D. T. Moorhead, of Forsyth Co., Ga., and Miss Emma Roland, of Dawson County, Ga. We hear it whispered that the young ladies intend getting up a Leap Year Picnic sometime soon. We venture the assertion that it will excel any picnic ever projected in Anderson. Appointments of the Y. M. C. A. for next Sunday: To conduct the afternoon meeting, John E. Breazeale?Scripture, Acts 26; Poor House Committee, Rev. L. M. Ayer and Stephen McCuIly. Mr. J. A. Dobbins, of Rock Mills town? ship, one day last week killed a large eagle, measuring seven feet and four inches from point to point. This is a very unusual bird for this section, and was viewed with con? siderable interest by the people of that locality. The colored town Republicans held a meeting in the Greeley Institute on Monday night for the purpose of raising money with which to defray Sam Johnson's expenses to the State Convention. We suppose the necessary funds were raised, and that when Sam returns they will be reimbursed. On last Friday a young white man, who resides in the lower part of this County, near the Abbeville line, was arrested and committed to the Abbeville County jail for the burning of Rocky River Church. The evidence against him is said to be very strong, and his guilt will no doubt be estab? lished. Drs. P. A. Wilhite and W. H. Nardin represented the Anderson physicians in the annual meeting of the State Medical Asso? ciation at Columbia last week. Dr. Wilhite was elected a delegate to the American Med? ical Association and Dr. Nardin was as? signed a place on the committee on State Medicines. We learn that the Greenwood people are thinking about running a picnic excursion to Williamston some time soon. They cer? tainly can not find a more pleasant place at which to have a picnic than Williamston, whose people knov. so well how to make such occasions pleasant for all who go to their beautiful little town. Tarker, the Republican Coun ty Chairman, aays that the Republicans of this County are ! solidly in favor of Grant as the nominee of their party for President. This is owing no doubt to the fact that both Parker and ex Senator Cochran are Grant men, who, it is well known, exercises supreme control over their deluded followers in this County. Mr. T. B. Crews, senior editor of the Laurensville Herald, President of State Press Association, and Intendant of Lau? rensville, has been nominated lor the Legis lature from Laurens County. Mr. Crews is a most excellent gentleman, and the people of that County could not trust their inter? ests in the hands of a more faithful man. The ladies of the Presbyterian Church arc making preparations for another entertain? ment on Friday, which will be conducted similarly to those heretofore given. They will furnish both dinner and supper at moderate charges, and the patronage of our citizens is respectfully solicited. Both sub? stantial and delicacies will be had in abui> dance. A great many persons have been at a loss to know what business brought Pat Kirk land, a well known Republican understrap? per, to Anderson last week, but if they will only read the list of delegates elected to the State Convention hy the Republicans of this County on Saturday they will readily un? derstand 5t. He is at present, we believe, a citizen of Spartanburg, and of course didn't seek the honor of representing his Radical brethren of Anderson in the Convention it was a free-will olTering most joyfully made. The colored Lodge of Good Templars of this place held a public temperance mass meeting in the colored Methodist Church on Wednesday evening, the 21st inst., and were addressed by several speakers. This Lodge now numbers about two hundred members, and are doing a good work among their people. They could not be engaged in a more nobler cause, and we hope their efforts will be crowned with success on every hand. Mr. J. W. Fry, formerly Superintendent of the Richmond and Danville Railroad, has been appointed General Superintendent of the Greenville and Columbia Road, vice Col. R. H. Temple resigned. Col. Temple has made an excellent Superintendent, and resigned the position on this Road to accept the place of Chief Engineer of the Rich? mond and Alleghany Railroad. We only hope that Mr. Fry is as enterprising and public spirited as his worthy predecessor. Early last Tuesday morning a negro by the name of Van Holland came into the store of Messrs. Bleckley, Brown & Co. with a large roll of leather, valued at about $20, and offered it for sale for $12. The low price of the article aroused the suspicions of a member of the firm, and he at once questioned the negro as to where he got it. The negro stated that he bought it from Mr. Thos. Harper, of Seneca City. Mr. Harper was at once telegraphed to, and replied, ad? vising them to retain the negro until further investigation. Policeman McGruder was notified, and immediately arrested the negro, whereupon he acknowledged as hav? ing stolen it from a Mr. Watkins. He was sent to jail to await investigation. WilUainaton Democratic Club Met in the Masonic Hall on Saturday, 17th instant, for purpose of considering means to induce all the members of the Williamston Democratic Club to re-enroll their names and be ready for the campaign of 1880. About thirty members of the Club were present. The President stated that the County Executive Committee, at their last meeting, recommended that the Anderson County Democratic Clubs meet on Saturday, the 8th of May next, to reorganize and elect officers for the next term. The following gentlemen were appointed a committee to revise the club-list and to enlist the enroll? ment of new members: White?Dr. W. Wilson, B. W. Duckworth, H. Mahaffey, B. L. Johnson, Dr. Richardson, W. S. Rog? ers, W. F. Owen; colored ? Israel Dalton, Berry Mattison, Ed. Jones, Nathan Green, Perry Henderson and Alfred Rogers. Re? marks were made by J. G. Clinkscales and H. M. Prince, encouraging the members to do their duty. The Club adjourned to meet on Saturday, the 1st day of May. H. L Eptino, Sec. Club Meeting. Broadaway Democratic Club will meet at Neal's Creek Church on the 8th day of May next, at 2 o'clock p. m., to elect delegates to the County Convention, and to transact such other business as may be thought necessary by the Club. All the members are requested to be present. Wm. Shirley, 1st Vice President. Hall Democratic Club. The members of the Democratic Club of Hall township are requested to meet at Carswell Institute on Saturday May 8th, 1880, at 2 o'clock p. m. It is very essential that each member of the Club should be present, as business of importance will be transacted. W. E. Walters, President. Anderson Market Reports.
