Married, at the residence of the bride, on Sunday morning, July 4, 1880, by Rev. H. N. Hayes, Mr. John Hubbard formerly of Columbia, S.O., and Miss Eliza Fred? ericks, of Oconee County. \ The whole expenses of the County Jail Tec the six months ending June 30, includ? ing the dieting of prisoners, amounted to only $156. Is there another County in the State with as good a record ? Rev. E. R. Carswell and Rev. J. C. Hud? son, the pastor, are conducting an interest? ing protracted meeting at Cross Roads . Church, which gives promise of much good, and will be continued until next Sunday. The people are leaving the low-country by the hundred, and are seeking in the mountain districts a more pleasant climate. Every train that leaves Charleston is well filled, a great many of the passengers com? ing to points along the Greenville & Colum? bia Railroad. Mr. James Hinton, a tenant of Mr. C. S. Beaty, sent us, a couple of sweet popatoes, this year's crop, on Monday that were three or four inches long and one and a half or two inches in diameter. They were a red variety and were taken from the patch on the first day of this month. Mr. J. 0. Vaudiver, of Hopewell town? ship, brought the first.load of watermelons of the season to town on Saturday, and by presenting us with one placed- us under ob? ligations to him. Sweet potatoes and wa? termelons are decidedly more palatable than cotton blooms and oats. The rains last week were general, but not everywhere bountiful. It some sections of the County barely enough fell to lay the dust, and the crops are now in as much need of rain as before it fell. In other lo? calities, however, the season was fine, and the growing corn and cotton were greatly benefited. The Raikes Centennial Celebration in the Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon was largely attended, and afforded a pleasant hour's service to all present. The addresses ot Messrs. Tribble and Bell were to the point, and made good impressions on the congregation, while the music by the choir was unusually fine. The Carolina Collegiate Institute closes to-day after a prosperous session. The ex? ercises arranged for last evening consisted of speeches and compositions by the pupils, and for this evening of humorous dramas and plays. All the details for making the evenings pleasant for those who attend have been perfected. The little boys about Pcndleton have gone back on base balling, if we are allowed to judge from a reply sent by them to a chullenge from the little boys' club of An? derson. Their reply was, in substance: "We haven't got any 'picked nine,' and if we did have we've got something else to do besides play base ball." The Honea Path and Martin Townships 'Singing Convention will con.ene at First Creek Church on Saturday before the fourth Sabbath in July, and continue through Sunday. Sunday Schools and Singing As? sociations in these townships arc requested to send delegate* to the meeting as itnnor --tant business will come up for considera? tion. We have been requested to announce that Rev. S. Lander, President of the William ston Female College, will deliver an address on Education at Ebenezer Clinrch, ten miles south of Anderson, on Saturday, the 17th instant, at 11 o'clock a. m. Every person feeling an interest in the subject of educa? tion is invited to attend the meeting, which will be both pleasant and profitable. The most cheering reports of the crop prospects come to us from every section of the County. Cotton everywhere is looking very fine, and with favorable seasons will make an unusually fine yield. Only the most forward corn has suffered in the least for rain, and as yet that has not been to any considerable extent. The farmftrs all say they never had better prospects, and are consequently in high spirits. The Fork Democratic Club, No. 1, will meet at Mr. N. O. Farmer's on Saturday, the 24 th day of July hist., at 2 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of attending to business connected with the campaign. Addresses ijpon the ctjrront topics of the, <]ay will be delivered by Messrs. J. L. Orr and E. B. Murray. A full attendance of all the citi? zens, both white and colored, of the sur? rounding country is requested, as matters of importance will be considered by the meeting. The exercises of Mrs. J. R. Cochran's school closed on Tuesday, and the occasion was celebrated by the children with a pound party, to which their parents and a large rjnmber of friends were inyjted. The oc? casion passed off most pleasantly for all present, the children delighting themselves with innocent aniusements while the older set engaged in social and pleasant conver Bation. At about 10 o'clock a bountiful supply of refreshments were served! after which the party dispersed at the seasonable hour of 11. One of our visitors in Cincinnati expresses the opinion that it would be a good invest? ment for the County of Anderson tosend at least three hundred of our farmers each year to the Northwest, at the County's ex? pense, just for the purpose of letting them see how the fanners of that section carry on their farm work. There is no doubt that the more knowledge our Southern farmers acquire of the way in which Northern and Western farmers manage their allitirs (lie better it will be for them. Rev. T. P. Bell, the newly elected pastor of the Baptist Church, arrived in Anderson on last Saturday, and preached his first ser? mon on Sunday morning to a large congre? gation. Mr. Bell is a young man, unmar? ried, has just recently graduated in the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and is a very promising young minister. He meets with a warm reception not only by the members of his own church, but by the people of the whole town generally, and will doubtless receive that cordial and earn? est support in the work of his pastorale that has always been given his predecessor. There was an excursion of colored people from Ncwberry to Greenville on last Satur? day, and from the reports we have heard the behavior of the excursionists was sim? ply outrageous. As the train passed through this County they were shooting and cursing to the annoyance of persons living along the Road, and we learn were fighting among themselves, several being badly bruised and cut up. "It was at first reported that one or two had been killed, but this was incorrect. Persons t:aveling on railroads ought to be made to behave themselves, and where guilty of such con? duct as that on Saturday, the Conductors should be instructed to have the rioters arrested and taken from the trains. As usual, the Due West Commencements last week were largely attended, and the exercises throughout most interesting. Anderson County was well represented, as is customary. Rev. Samuel B. Junes, D. D., of Pendleton, preached the Baccalau? reate Sermon on Sunday morning, and Bev. John B. Adger, D. D., of the same town, by invitation of the students of the Theo? logical Seminary, preached one of his finest sermons on Sunday afternoon. The ad? dress before the Alumini Society of Erskine College was delivered by Rev. J. M. Thom? son, of Selma, Ala., a son of Mr. Matthew Thomson, formerly of this County, and a grandson of Peter Keys, one of the first settlers of this section of country. There were 8 graduates in Erskine Cc.lege and 9 in the Female College. Sandy Springs. Most of the farmers are laying by their crops of corn and cotton, which are very fine. Capt. Peter McPhail has the finest acre of cotton we have seen anywhere. It will average twenty inches high, and is well fruited with squares and bolls.Our schools re-opened on the 5th inst.There is a large and interesting Sunday School at this place.Our Debating Society meets on the 10th inst., and will debate the ques? tion, "Should woman be equally educated with man ?" The discussion will be public, and all of the ladies are especially invited to attend.Rev. William Hutto preaches for us on the first and third Sundays of each month. He is well liked throughout the bounds of his work, and is accomplish? ing great good. M. H. M. Fair Play. After a drouth of nearly four weeks dry, windy weather, we have been blessed with copious showers, which have revived the drooping crops, and they are now looking well.The fields are as white with blooms as they generally are ten days later, and if the seasons continue the crop will be the largest ever produced in this section.The mail passed our place on Friday last for the first time from Anderson to Westminister, but we were disappointed in not receiving any except the Anderson papers. We sup? pose the reason was on account of the car? rier having more mail than be could briftg. We hope to get our mail in the future, or a change in the route. We believe a change can be made to the advantage of the people along both lines and the contractor, by dividing the route, and running one from Anderson by Andersonville, Shallow Ford and back to Anderson, and one from West? minister by Bachelor, Fair Play, Townville, Oakway and back to Westminister. By this means the. contractor will cut off the distance between Fair Play and Anderson? ville 13 miles, over which there is no office, and 7 miles from Shallow Ford to Townville.Oconee hasn't as many can? didates out yet as some of her sister coun? ties, but they are coming like mush-rooms in wot weather.Politics seems to be quiet, and we anticipate one of the most peaceable elections we have had since the war, and feel fully confident of a complete democratic victory in the State and Na? tional elections.There will be a public pic nie at WhY. Pulleu's spring, 2 miles be? low Fair Play, on Saturday, July 10th. The people generally are invited to attend with well filled baskets for the the dinner. Addresses will be delivered by Messrs. E, B. Murray, H. G. Scudday, Win, J. Strib ling, J. A. Johnson and Wm, P. Calhoun. .The Fair Play Debating Society is pro? gressing finely, and will no doubt prove to be of much advantage to the community. Townville. Maxwell's Bridge, on Seneca River, was rendered unsafe by a heavy gale that passed down the River last Saturday night. Trees were uprooted and fields of corn laid fiat to the ground in that vicinity.A little child of Mr. N. W.

Extensive preparations for that occasion are in progress, so that visitors?official and otherwise ? will be handsomely entertained.Mr. G. N. C. Boleman began the summer session of his school at Tugaloo Academy on the 5th inst. Mr. Boleman is perhaps the most efficient and popular teacher in this school district.A pound party was given on the 3d instant by the Double Springs Sun? day School, the proceeds of \y.hich were to be applied to charitable uses.The people of the Fork give considerable attention to bee culture, but it is reported that the honey crop this year is a failure.More persons' names?'513?in Fork township begin with H than with any other letter, ami the fewest ?i?witii V. A most excellent lady pos? sesses that name, and we presume she will be able to guess to whom the allusion is made.A well attended meeting was held at Beaverdtun Clnirch, at. Fair Flay, re? cently to consider the wisdom of forming new Association frojii portions of Saluila, Fork and Tugaloo Associations. Delegates from all these were present, but a very de? cided majority disfavored'the plan, at least for' the present. Anderson vi lie, Double Springs and Beaverdam Churches, of Tu? galoo, will, hd\yeyer. organize a new Asso? ciation, and hope to be joined by other churches from time to time. ' I). YVilllHIIlMtoil.

Johns is correct, and if yon will examine my manuscript you will find it written cor? rectly.1 tun requested by the members of the Willianiston Base Hull Club to thank the Horse Shoe Club of your town for their kindness and liberality evidenced by sending to our hoys two very excellent hats. Our club failed to find any laus in Green? ville, and were about to find none in An? derson, when a member pf the II. S. Club promised to send them two of their best bats, with no other charge than their first cost. This was very kind, and will not he forgotten by the Willianiston boys, who know bow to appreciate such generosity. After they have sufficiently practiced, I hope the two clubs will have a friendly contest for the championship. The boy? here have an excellent ground, presented them by Maj. Geo. W. Anderson, whose generosity is by no means behind that of the Horse Shoe Club.Local rains have fallen on the eastern side the County, al? though we have not had enough just here to benefit us a great deal. Mr. Gaines says we are too wicked, and the Lord intends to roast us for it. Dr. Cannon says last year he lived between two deacons, and the Ruler of rains could not. well send them refreshing showers without giving him some. This year one of the deacons is dead, and the showers all go to one side. Mrs. James Johnson died this morning about 8 o'clock after n painful illness of two weeks. The Doctors report very little sickness in this section.The Williamston Division S. of T. speak of having a picnic excursion to some point below here on the G. & C. R. R., provided Bel ton and Ander? son Divisions will join them. If wo can have an excursion made up of strictly tem? perance workers, I am in favor of it; but if, as is sometimes the cose on temperance excursions, the occasion is to be disgraced by the presence and unmanly conduct of drunken ruffians, I am opposed to it in toto. I claim that it is inconsistent with the pro? fessions of S. of T. to suffer the pleasure of such occasions to be marred by uncouth ruffians.How is it that so few candidates have been announced? We want to know who expect to run for the various offices. It will not be long before the clubs will be expected to make nominations, and how can they make them when there are no candidates in the field? I think you should call for announcements, Mr. Editor, so that the people may be considering the merits and demerits of the aspirants to office. Sali*pro tempore. Knilc.

Fruit, nothing; wine from grapes, very little; honey, very small; wool, very little; hay, not much. A farm, for census purposes, is any num? ber of acres over three, cultivated either as owner or tenant. It will be observed tltut the cotton crop, after deducting cost of fertilizers, amounts to about the same in money value as all other crops. The whole cost of fertilizers, including hauling from and to depot, will increase said amount to about 3-10 of the whole market value of said crop, or nearly one-third. This is a very large rent out of the cotton crop, to be paid usually out of the first and best cotton prepared for mar? ket. Can this leak be stopped? We think so. How? -Lot every farmer during the winter months compost and manipulate his own fertilizers on the farm, using only so mush commercial fertilizers (or lime, which would be better) as may be necessary for composting purposes, then this large per centage of every cotton crop will be saved to fill the pockets of the farmer. In addition, let the cereals and forage crops receive the first consideration, not neglect? ing, by any reasons, the garden, potato and truck patches generally, superodding so much cotton only as can be well manured and well cultivated. Then will prosperity again dawn upon our depressed farming industries. It is but just to the farming industries of Brushy Creek township to remark that '79 was one of the dryest years experienced since '45, hence the smallness of the crop. Indeed, under this adverse condition, the amount of the grain crops, especially corn, is surprisingly lurge. Taking the number of farm enumerated the average of the corn crop is over 100 bushels to the farm, and but little less than 100 bushels to the family. It is gratifying to observe the general fa? vorable report in regard to the dairy pro? ducts of the farm. The never-failing milch cow, where she has been allowed a living chance, has come to the relief of the nu? merous households of Brushy Creek town? ship by freely giving from her lacteal re? sources those rich supplies of milk and butter, which are so necessary to the com? fort and sustenance of every family. It may be that the enumerator was particu? larly fortunate, but he never sat down to the table of any household where the milk and butter did not maintain a conspicuous position, and in some oaseu the beautiful, rich, golden color of the nicoly-prepared butter would have, we think, entitled it to a place alongside of the Northern creame? ries or oleomargarine. Of course, this was not the happy lot ot all, but there is no good reason why it may not be. The pre? paration of clover and gra>s lots, with rye or barley for a winter pasture, will enable the poorest to reve! in the luxuries of milk and butter. So mote it be. Under the operation of the stock law the number of stock is gradually being reduced to be supplied by a better quality. Hogs and sheep, particularly the latter, have largely disappeared since the war, priuci pally because of the mistaken policy of raising cotton to b\\y nieat \v\t]\. We du nqt mean to say that the raising of bacou In this country Is likely to be a leading in? dustry, but enough should be raised to supplement the supply of beef, mutton and kid, ivinch should be raised more abund? antly than they are. As fiue a lot of sheep an we have ever seen was found in the cow pasture of one of our best farmers, where they have been ever since the stock lav; was adopted. Of course, all these statistics are only an approximation, so far as crops are con? cerned. They arc, however, sufficiently accurate in the aggregate for statistical pur? poses. At another time, an<l when nmre at lei^; tire, (he enumerator wjli pjohsihly give some o.f the incidents, amusing and other? wise, which occurred during the perform Anco of Iiis arduous duties. In conclusion, permit me to make my acknowledgement for the uniform kindness shown by the people of Brushy ('reek township, and the promptness and candor exhibited generally in giving the informa? tion desired. .Some of che most satisfac? tory returns made were by women, either widows or wives of ubsent husbands. The necessity for the women generally making themselves more and better acquainted with the business of the farm was strongly brought out during the enumeration. In? deed, in the ease of wives, the husbands should esteem it. a duly as well as a privi? lege lo keep their belter-halves posted in all their business arrangements, trusting se? curely that they have no trurer friends on earth than their bosom companions and the mother of their children. One other remark, and we have done. The ever-recurring Census every tenth year (Including the State census, every fifth) should teach us all the great necessity of keeping exacl accounts of our farms and flocks and herds from ,year to year. Of course, in other pursuits this is a necessary consequence of the transaction of any pub? lic business, and it should be equally the duty, as it would be to the interest and pleasure, of every farmer to keep exact yearly accounts of all the different branches of agriculture, horticulture, stock raising, dairying, &c. Although accurate returns have not as yet been received from all the townships of the population, enough is known to justify the conclusion that the average for each township will not fall below 2.000, and perhaps more.
