Tho Thirteenth Amm-il Fair of tho

in Andorson, beginning on Wednesday,

vost enter.i this year upon his iir.it torin
as President of tho Association, having
boon olectod last eiimmor to tho position
tu tho plcco of Hon. B. F. Crayton, who
declined a re-election. We hopo tho
Bamo sonorous and extensivo support
Will bo accorded tho now management
which has heretofore boon er: tended, for
we aro satisfied Unit every offert will bo
made by tho officers this year to render
tho Fair a great success.
Several additional features of interest
havo boon added to tho oxhibltlon, and
tho rato of admission has bonn reduced to
twenty-llvo instead of fifty couts, BO that
all may attend. These agricultural fairs
aro very hnprovlug- to tho country, and
dcHOivo a very liberal patronage. Not
only should our peoplo nttond and tako
tbolr families, but thoy should, as far as
possiblo, put nomo ono or moro articles
on exhibition. As many of our pl an toro
as possible should show spoclnion's of
their vatious crops and of stock, our
housekeepers should contributo to the
oxhibltlon in tho household department,
cur yor.r.g l?d?c? ouuulii contribute to
tho ornamental und fanoy department,
and every industry should endeavor to
havo Specimens of ita work shown, Tho
exhibition can only bo made a success by
united effort, and lt wlU not cost any

this effoit. Let us determino, then, to
rondor this Fair the best wo have ever
had. If wo will all oxhlbltas many ar

as tho admission is so cheap, It will bo
a credit to Andorson County and a bone

NEW YOUS. CITY "SOLID."
:Tho two factions of Uio Now York City
Democracy are now as solidly ono nj any
thtng epui? ^J. A rousing moetlug was
held in tlie ?Ry on lost Thursday night,
which, for gomilno enthusiasm, sur
passes e;.yyot held in tho Union. '.A
grand torchlight procession, sovernl
rallos if , length, in which over 100,000
Domoc.'ute took part, hal tod nt Tammany
flo??, * here seVeral speeches .wore made
hy lobing Democrats of the Union.
. Dougherty, of Philadelphia, oponed tho
ball, r.nd was repeatedly cheered by tho
:hrongof pooplo, who were packed Uko
.icrrlogs. ..During his speech .Bayard eh?
.ored, and was enthusiast lollly greeted,
.ho speech being interrupted, for sovorul
minutos. After Dougherty, August Bel
mont addressed tho meeting, but was
fztiqnoutly IntcrrRptod by calls for Bay
ard, who, when Introduced, was received
by a storm of applnuso which lasted lit
erally for flvo minutes. Bayard KrfJW
red and white, and could do nothing.
Ho bctf-ni bis speech after threo rousing
cheers for him bad ended the uproar.
Ho rovlowod briclly tho effoots of the
war, said that tho young man of to-day
knew not what our war was, and tho old
man ought to bo Kcnslblo enough to for
got and burj its - bitterness. Ho ridi
culed C'onkllng's Southern war claim
bogy and declared Hancock's determina
tion to stand by thc Constitution. Ho
proclaimed bis own failli in tho principle?
of tho Union, but also his respect for
Stuto Rights. Tho money that tho .South
bad collected so far in tho way of South
ern claims had gono straight Into North
ern pockets. Unllko t'oukliiig, Bayard
bad something to Hay for tho honesty and
uprightness of bis candidate, Hancock's
nam? eliciting nuothor roar of applause
Bayard's speech was tho groat event of
tho campaign. Tho crowd could not be
gin to linar any ono spoakor, as it reached
along tho streets for several blocks, and
to gratify tho desire of tho thousands
upon thousands who desired to hour
speaking, somo eight or ten stands wero
erected nt suitable- distances apart, HOM
which diirorent Speakers addreswod tho
vaHt throng. Among tho distinguished
orators of tho night wero Senators Ran
dolph, Kr i nan and Hampton, Geuorals
Plaistcd and SieklcH, Ex-Gov. Tilden,
Speaker Hernial I, Judjro T. J. Mackey, of
South Carolina, nnd many others. It ls
described by tho Now York papers as the
grandest demonstration over made in
Now York, and ensures tho Empire State
to tho Democracy in Nov.nnbor.
Tho moiioy bears aro ?it work on Wall
Strcot, where thoro seems to bo a combi
nation of financiers to dopress stocks and
Hccuritlcs gonornlly. Even govorninont
bouda havo boon fallin;; cir in price du
ring tho last ton days, und tho Republi
cans claim that this is tho result of tho
present indications of Democratic, tri
umph in November. It is a stock panic
gotten up by tho Republicans to frighten
tho timid voters in Indiana, Ohio and
Colorado nt tho approaching elections in
thoso States. It is a cold-blooded stock
gambling scbemo of tho money kings,
and is but a scbomo to rob holples.s per
sons who aro compelled to sell their secu
rities, and at tho Hamo limo to assist tho
Republican party, which is in such a
stiait. just nov/. Even thin bug-boar will
not frighten tho country. Dis too appa
rent. Tho nvorago votor knows full well
that tho success of tho Democratic party
does not endanger tho properly or
ilnune.es of tho country, and tho party
which spends its timo in trying to fright
en tho uitizouH of tho Union with tho
horrors of Democratic triumph instead
of promising something for itsolf, shows
that it hos outlived its usefulness, and a
considerate and caro ful pooplo will allow
lt to dio. Such reid;less schemes show its
uttor degradation and turpitude HO clear
ly that tho simpleton himself may under
stand. Tho present Republican cam
paign is a crimo against Ibo intelligence,
tho peaco and fhoprosporily or tho Union.
That crimo mast and will bo punished,
wo boliovo, by its complete overthrow In
Novombor.
from a Republican standpoint (Jon.
Hancock IIOH shown himself to bo a most
ungenerous and HOIUHII mau. They only
bad ono bug-bear to urgo against bim,
nnd that was tho question of paying tho
Confodorato war dobt and tho Southern
olainis for proporty destroyed, mc.niling
tho fi colng of tho negro. Upon all other
quostiouH Cen. Hancock's record wes
clear and unoxcoptionable, mid oven on
that thoro was nothing against him, ex
cept Ibo fact that bo had not expressed
himself as to thoso claims, which gavo tho
Republicana tho opportunity to charge
him with favoring their payment. Tho
payment of theso dobbs bas never been
contemplated by tho South, for our poo
plo know that having lost tho causo for
which tho war wat fought, '.boy need
not expect that tiley will bo paid their
losses in that war, and in fact the
expenses of conducting tho war itself;
but it would Htirprlso our peoplo
to know how much lnlluo.ico tho charge
that tho South expects to niako an at
tempt to secure tho payment of thoso
debts la having In tho North nnd West.
It has up to this timo boon tho lifo of Ibo
Republican canvass, and tho lotter of
Gen. Hancock completely explodes lt at
a critical part of tho campaign, and leaves
tho Republicans aimost nothing to stand
upon. Tho lotter is plain, positive, une
quivocal, and cannot luavo any doubt
upon tho mind of any man who belloves
in tim sincerity of Cen. Hancock. It ls
a judicious lotter, and greatly strengthens
tho prospect of Democratic success.
A correspondent of the Now York Tri
bune nays that In Columbia h.? saw "white
eon tl?) in en (?) rofuso to pay n negro for
lacking their boots, treating tho demand
for t om pens?t ion as a good joko; end
wbon tho negro remonstrated, bo was
told to got out or lt would not bo woll for
bim." Another yarn Is that "a fow days
since, noar Greenville, a party of young
whtto mon passing ulong tho road-?aw an
old darkoy In tho Hold picking ootton.
They hailed him. asking nomo questions.
Tho negro lookrul At ?he::: solemnly, but
said nothing, apparently not bnariiig
thom or not understanding them. Tboy
repeated their auenlion several times,
and then ono of thom, drawing his re
volver, shot tho old mun dead. A c.ir
oner's ju ry found it a COKO of Justiliablo
homicide. '
Our peoplo can KOO from theso mali
cious and Hilly falsehoods, which aro
published ir. one ?>f ibo most rcspoclablo
Republican papers, to what depth of vii
lany and misrepresentation tho Republi
can:! uro willing to descend for political
ends. It is, howovor, not to bo wondorcd
that tho papor which would send secret
corroanonil.or.ts to public meetings will
stoop to thia moan and contemptible sort
of journalism. By tho way, this ai lido
muy heve emanated from tho pcs of this
vory defectivo correspondent. A man
who has no moro self-respect than to
travol through tho country attending
public moetlngn, where other reportera
go as gontlnmcn, whllo bo top rcs o nts tho
sneak, would not, In our opinion, host
tato (o ol thor misrepresent or lio outright.
Wboovcr wroto tho abovo nitlclo dbl tho
latter. _
At the cloie of tho war, when Horace
Greeley went on JeiT. Davis' ball bond to
release the Confederate President from
prison, tho war feeling ron high, and pas
sion and hate wero uppermost in the minds
of hundreds of thousands of the American j
people, the Union League Club, of which
Greeley was a member, served bim with a
notice that he was in danger of being dis
ciplined for bis act of humanity, and he
replied to their threats tn tho following
grand language : "Your attempt to base a
great, enduring party on the bate and
wrath necessarily engendered by a bloody
civil war, is ns though you should plant a
colony on an Iceberg which bad somehow
drifted Into a'tropical ocean.'1 This is ex
nelly what tho Republican party did. They
founded their party on bate and perpetual
sectional strife,.and year by year the genial
influences of peace have been melting away
Its foundation until now, fifteen years after
tho last gnn of the great war was fired, that
Iceberg of which Grccloy wroto has been
well nigh melted away, and the once proud
and iKJWCrfiil warty, which has built ita
existence upon it, is destined upon the
Bccond of November to bo launched into
the boundless ocean of chao?, never to re
turn to power or trust to plague thc Ameri
can citizen by lits corruption and usurpa
tion. In its death the Union will find
peace, and tho principios of our govern
ment v.?ll uguin hies? e 'ree people.
Tho New York Herald somet? mon gets
Into n fair mood and thou delivers its
Kopubllcnii friend? Homo very pointed
lessons, which they would do well to
learn. In ono of these moody tho Herald
recently said :
No party coming into power it going to
destroy Itself by measures Injurious to
tho credit or honor of tho nation. That
is rather tx? bo expected of? party de
moralized by ton Jong ponsossion of
power ?nd ready to bbl too high or stoop
too low for continued support. Tho Dom
oerats, if thoy should elect (Jen. Han
cock, would moko it their first aim by
careful good bohuvior to conc?llalo tho
conlidence of tho public, ia ordor that
their predominance should not bo short
lived. They would bo conscious that
oven ii moderate amount of misconduct
would send thom buck li to a very hoj?c
lcss minority.
Theso very pructlenl reasons why tho
D?mocratie party will not purwuo any
revolutionary polk')' to tho Injury of tho
established Institutions of property or
government, vhouhl convince every son- ]
i,i hie man that there ls no danger to tho
country in D?mocratie triumph. It
would, of courso, bo more careful,
economical and conciliatory than tho Re
publican party, which has grown profli
g?lo and corrupt by too long uso of
power. At least, appearances iud lento
that tho peoplo of tho Union aro becom
ing Halisfled of thin fact, and that they
will rink tho change in Novembor.
Gen. Grant was oloctod President of tho
San Pedro Mining Company sovornl
wooka ago, atid it was announced that ho
had accepted tho presidoncy, Immediate
ly upon which there was n boom in Its
stock, and great expectations woro cre
ated an to its importance and prospocts.
After allowing this ?tato of things to con
tinuo for a consldornhlotiine, tho < ! encrai
quietly wrote n lotter declining tho posi
tion of President of tho Company, ?nd
its bottom immediately dropped out.
Tho prlco of its atocha shot downward
faa ter than it had gono up, and many un
suspecting victims found lt an easy de
vice by which to rid themselves of their
surplus greenbacks. Tho matter, how
ever, lins cieated considorahlo comment,
and, in solf-defonso, Mr. (Jcorgo William
Kallon, tho promotor of tho enterprise,
showod Grant's lotter of acceptance to
tho editors of tho Bonton Herald, so that
there can bo no rensonablo doubt of tho
fact, unless Mr. nation's lotter is a
forgory. This puts Gon. Grant in a vory
unenviable light. After attaining tho
highest honors that could bo given him
by his country, and endeavoring to so
curo tho Presidoncy n third time, bo Ima
actually, If Mr. Bullou'n showing ls cor
rect, stooped to tho dograded position of
a tool for unprincipled Block Jobbing'
sharks.
Tho Republicans aro so hard pressed
in Indiana that they aro foreod to mako
ovory edgo cut that cun, and thoroforo
they contemplate trying to arouse tho
military feeling in their behalf by hav
ing a mooting of thc veterans In Indian
apolis a fow days bofore tho olection.
Tho following ordor has "neon Issued in
their bohalf :
."Headquarters Union Veterans1 Na
tional Committee, Nev/ York City, Sep
tember 25.-Gcnerul Order No. IO.-Tim
Union Veteran Soldiers and Sailors of
tho Unit- d States will moot In Conven

tho 7th day of October. 1880,

It may turn out that this Ordor will
not help their causo any more than
Granta' celebrated ordor to tho "Boys in
Dino," requiring thom to organizo for
tho support of Garfield and Arthur.
Thoy did not orgnuizo any to hurt, and
When tho meeting in Indianapolis is hold
wo apprehend that tho veteran soldlors
will not toko much stock in any opposi
tion to Gen. Hancock.
On noxt Tuesday wook, tho li:th of Oo
tobor, tho groat States of Ohio, Indiana
and West Virginia volo for Slnto oftlcorS.
West Virginia will go largely Demo
cratic, and tho remita in tho other States
arc uncertain, with tho chances favoring
tho Republicans in Ohio, which is tho
residence of Mr. Garfield ?nd whero State
prldo la expected to and probably will
carry him through. In Indian? both
parties aro badly acm od, and tho election
will not bo a great surprise either way
tho State goos. If tho Dem?crata carry
Indiana lt settles beyond a reasonable
doubt tho presidential race, and Han
cock will occupy tho Whito Houso
niter tho fourth of noxt March. If, how
ever tho Republicana aro successful
there it unsettles tho prospecta very
much. If we loso Indiana wo will hove
to got Connecticut ?nd Now Jersey or
ilftcon voles from some Northern States
outside of Now York. It would not thon
bo a hopeless raeo for us, but would, we
must confess, bu uncomfortably close.
Colorado votes on next Tuesday, and
wldle it ts oxpectod Unit the state will go
for tho Republicans, still tho aurprlso in
Maine renders tho result just enough
doubtful to m ike both ?Ides anxious to
hoar tho nows. In October, 1870, Colo
rado gavo Routt, Romtblicnn. for Gov
ernor, 14,154 votes, n?d Hughes, homo
oral, 13,316. In 1878, tho Inst Stole oleo
ti m, lt gave Pltkin, Republican, 14,390;
Loveland, Democrat, 11,073; Bucking
ham, Oreenbaekor, 2,784. It Is, thoro
foro, likely lo go Republican Af*???? at this
election. If, however, lt should go Dem
ocratic, tho result would completely
knock tho bottom out of tho Republican
Presidential canvass.
Georgi? elects lier Stoto officers on next
Wednesday, and, though no Republican
tickot is In tho field, a very excited and
blttor .contest has boon waged between
tho two portions of tho Democratic party,
headed respectively by Gov. Colqultt
and ox-Senator Norwood, tho rival can
didatos for Governor. The contest han
been ?erco, malignant and thorough, but
wo predict that Colqultt will bo hand
somely elected Governor, and that a Leg
islature will bo sol oe tod that will rotnrn
ox-Governor Joseph Ii. Brown to the
I United States Sonate. The people of
Georgia havo too much Judgment to do
otherwise.
Gon. Piala tod has boen conceded to be
elected Governor of Maine by about tour
hundred majority over Davis, the Re
publican candidate Thus iKa Pine Tree
Stoto has passed from th? control of the
Plumed Knight, and ls no longer under
tho thraldom of Republicanism. Tf tho
Democrats gain as much in other quar
ters aa there, tho Garfield prospects aro
decidedly niuo.
Tho Now York 7W6un< dalmo the re
sult In Maloo aa a Republicen victory.
If lt is we hopo thoy will achieve just
thirty-eight victories or that kort In No
vember, for If they do it will be impos
sible to prove by tho electoral collogo
that GarAold was over ? candidate for
prosldont.
Mr. Conkliug says that tho Sont li doon
not pay nu much tax to tho general Gov
ernment a? IhO New England .Staten, und
io thia assertion shows his gross igno
raneo. Tho South ba? very fow import
ing cities, and buys bet- merchuudiso
principally in tho North. Wo pay tho
custom charges on all tho foreign goods,
groceries, Ac., that wo consumo, and tho
internal revenue on tho whiskey ami to
bacco, HO that taking theso things into
consideration we puy ten fold tho taxes
that New England does.
Tho nominees of tho Democratic poi../
of Anderson County aro now in tho field.
Tho party hos spoken. Henceforth in

and all should work together for tho
common end-that ls, to soc ore tho elec

tho largest possible majority. Tbero
should bo no lukewarmness, and espe
cially tbero should bo no scratching.
Voto tho ticket straight, from Governor
down to Coroner.
BUH?IIGSS all over tho country bas been
better this fall than in any year nineo
1873, and an ern of gonuino prosporlty
noorna lo have dornod upon our whole
country. Even tho effort of tho Repub
licans to unsettle business for partisan
pm poses bas utterly failed and tho load
ing mendiants of both pasties agree in
testifying that tbolr trade ?a larger this
.eaHou than for many years, and that nil
of tho indications show a decided bust*
nesH gain for tho country.
The Republicans of .South Caro
lina will givo us a surpriso lu November
If wo do not kocp up our interest lu poli
tics to tho day of election. They aro
playing tho most dangeioua gamo possi
ble to us. While appearing to make no
State fight they aro thoroughly though se
cretly organizing, and if tbero 1H any
possible chance they will run tbolr ticket
nt tho last mluuto after their apparent
apathy bas disarmed us.
Tho Union Leaguo Club of Philadel
phia was so confident, of a Republican
victory in M niuo that they had a magnifi
cent chandelier made to ordor for tho re
ception they intended holding tho night
after that election. It was so arranged
that tho gos Jots spelled tho words,
"Maino-Victory." After Ibo election
tho roception was indefinitely postponed,
and tho beautiful chandelier remained
unlighted.
Tho Courier'Journal says tho Republi

Hancock Beilues H'm Fosiiiou on
Southern Claims.
NEW YoitK, September 24.
Goiters! Hancock, responding to Theo
dore Cook, of Cincinnati, who bad writ
ten to him concerning tho General's at
titude on tho quostinn of Southern
elidion, replies as follows, under dato of
tho 23d :
Your lcttor of tho 20th inst, has been
rocoived. I regret that you aro dinturbed
about that bug-be.--, Soutboru war
claims. Tho peoplo can not bo misled
by it to suppose that "rebel claims" or
claims in tho interost of persona who
wero in tho rebellion can in any degree
bo countenanced, lt is an imputation of
disloyalty such as unod to bo made
against Democrats oven when thoy wero
in anns defending tho country. So far
os it toucbos mo, I denounco it. Tho
government can never pay a. debt or
grant a pension or reward of any sort for
waging war upon its existence, nor
could 1 bo inducod to approve or oncour
ago tho payment of nu eli a debt, pension
or reward. Nobody oxpoctti or wants
Buch unnatural action. To oroposo it
would bo an Insult to the inteillgonco
and honor of our pooplo. Whoa tho re
bellion was crushed tho heresy of seces
sion in every form and in overy incident
wont down forever. It is a thing of tho
dead post. Wo movo forward, not back
ward. If I wore President I would veto
all legislation which might como boforo
mo providing for tho consideration or
payment of claims of any kind for losses
or damages by persons who were tn the
rebellion, whether pardouod or not. In
rotation to Union war claims tho govern
ment's obligations to its defender", como
first. They are .asting mid sacred. Tho
publia laws of civilized nations do not in
guttural recognize, claims for Injury to
proporty resulting from operations of
war, nevertheless our government has
treated with great indulgence tho claims
for losses and damages Buffered by Un
ion mon from tho military operation of
tho war of tho Union. But ns hostilities
woro oiosed moro than tit teen years ago,
claims ol' that, nature aro now mostly in
tho hands of brokers, or persons ' or
than tho original sufTorora, aro beco ..lng
stale, and, in my Judgment, might fairly
bo considered as barred by tho lapso of
timo, nnd if hereafter entertained at all,
should ba subjected to tho strictest
scrutiny. Yenni very truly.

IIonmnLE DEATH ON THU RAIL.
About 4 n. m, un S??sdsy. tb?> westwnru

rounding a curvo of 0 degreos, two miles
west of Spartanburg struck a man lying

tho dead body, and tho authorities
promptly notified on tho nrrival of tho

romains woro at last Identified as thoso of
Willie Abbot, a young man, and nativo
of thia placo. Ho left homo yesterday
morning, telling his father and family
that bo was going to the meeting at Can

him noar tho place of his death, evidently
and hoavtly under the influent? of 11
S[uor. It ls thought whilo tn this Mtat he

Abbot was twenty years of age. a printer
