SIX MONTHS_....... 75. county executive committee. ; There will he a meeting of the County Democratic Exocutivc Committeo at the Inteixigencek Office on next Monday, the lllH inst., at 10 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of attending to important busi - Bess. It will be the most Important meeting we will have before the election, ~ and every member of the Committee is especially urged to be piesent at the ap? pointed hour. E. B. MURRAY, County Chairman. G. F. Tolly, Secretary; the greenback movement. jSjSi': About forty-five self-constituted dele? gates to the State Greenback Convention " \ met in Chester last week, and after some. . discussion decided to nominate an Elec? toral and State ticket, which decision they proceeded to carry out with the fol? lowing result: for Governor,Col.L. W. R. Blair, of Kernhaw j_ for Lieut. Go v., Col. David E. Gist, of Union; for Attor? ney General, ex-Chief Justice A. J. Wil |p?lard, of Richland; for Secretary of State, ex-Judge T. H. Cooke, of Greenville; for Comptroller General, ex-Mayor John Agnew, of Colrynbia; for Treasurer, Mar? tin J. Chapin; of Lexington; for Adju? tant and Inspector Generai, David P.. El kin, of Fair field. The names of their electoral ticket appear in another col? umn; This ticket is composed largely of soreheads, and we may fairly style any man who accepts a position on this ticket $&as a disorganizer. In South Carolina there is no middle ground. The issue is squarely and fairly between the friends of good government and its enemies. All who oppose the democratic party ^ assist the Republicans, and are either their dupes or tools. In either view they make themselves enemies of good government, and deserve, the condemna? tion which is meted out to the public enemy.. We trust tho gentlemen named on this ticket well, for their own reputa? tions as will as for the peace and harmo - ny of the State, refuse to run. If they do not the people should see to it that they get no votes in November. * danger ahead. The Democrats have never had a more dangerous campaign in this State than -the present one. The Republicans are making anlusidions effort to capture the . State, and it is impossible to convince our people that there is any possible dan? ger. Their work is quiet, but it is thorough, and every portion of the State wiR be canvassed just at the close of the campaign, and after it is too late for us effectively to undo the mischief those meetings wul work. They profess to run no ticket, but then the Green backers have given them a ticket for State offi? cers, which they will support if found to possess any strength. In fact, it looks to us very much like a bargain between the Republicans and the Greenback era, for tho latter have no hope whatever of car? rying the State against the Democrats ex? cept, by Republican votes. They could not give a union electoral ticket with the Republicans, for that would bo too plain, ... so they nominate a third set of electors, so that every man that votes for them will be helping to keep down the vote for the Democratic electors and assisting the chances of the State's voto being cast for Garfield. It is no child's play, for we have not votes enough to spare any to such movements as this, which are only Republican ruses to divide the Demo? cratic vote in order that they may win. As little as we may think of the situation in South Carolina to-day, it is a grave, very grave, one, indeed, if the Democrats of the whole State, and particularly of the white counties, do not arouse them? selves for the contest, and use every pos? sible effort to secure the presence of every Democratic voter at the polls, and to change as many Republicans as possible both before and at the election. With a full vote, and good, earnest, intelligent work, we are safe, but with a failure to . turn out and an over-confidence, which amounts to indifference of lethargy, we will be beaten. This we cannot afford? it would be unworthy in us to allow it. Our whole people should not lose an opportunity from this to the election to make a Democratic vote or to persuade an inconvincible Republican to stay away from the polls. It is time now to come down to good, steady work?sys? tematic work. Every citizen should select out one colored man and persuade him to vote the Democratic ticket in No? vember. Show him the benefits of Dem? ocratic role and the evils to come from the return to power of the Republican party. As we prize good government, as wo love our country, and as we wish to promote our own and our children's prosperity, we should work faithfully | and cbaerfully for an overwhelming vie-* tory In Novemer. two stalwarts confused. The Republicans of Philadelphia re? cently intended to give a magnificent ? demonstration in honor of their national j ticket, and hence they summoned Blaine, R. Stockwell Matthews and other leading Republican speakers to deliver the ora? tions, which were expected to enliven their droopiug cause. Tho night came, and over thirty thousand persons assem? bled to greet the smiling speakers. Tho meeting was opened by the introduction of Blaine as tho first orator of the day, and he immediately proceeded to unfurl the bloody flag of hate and abuse of tbe South, and all went well enough for a while, as the crowd ..ept quiet until the speaker came to that part of his address where he wished to comment on the . nominees of the Democratic party. As soon as he mentioned Hancock's name thousands of the crowd shouted enthusi? astic cheers for the hero of Gettysburg, and the orator's effort was ruined. He could not rally his thoughts, and after floundering a while like a school-boy bunting for the thread of bis speech without success,.the plumed knight, who had but recently been plucked of his feathers in Maine, was compelled to sit down. Mr. R. Stockwell Matthews was next introduced, and., tbe Philadelphia Times says of his effort: He went on to show that the reason the Democrats chose Hancock was "not be? cause his white. Navarre-like plume was seen on every b ittle-field," but that, de? spite his "pure personal character," they recognized in him one who would be subservient to their wishes. "Tbree cheers for Hancock!" was shouted near the stand and responded to by hundreds. "You'd better tako out your cheers for Hancock," shouted the speaker, only to -cet a response in the character of re iewed cheers for Hancock, without any iounteractioti from Republican throats. It was evident that immediately in front of the stand there was a very large num- j her of Hancock followers. "Suppose you hurrah now for Jeff.' Davis," Mr. Matthews sarcastically sug? gested, when the Hancock cheering had subsided. This was followed by roars of laughter ?"for Robert E. Leo," continued the speaker in the same strain. "He was a soldier and as good a one as Hancock." The crowd laughed again, aud then the cheers for Hancock were renewed as if in defiance, although the people seemed good-natured. From this it would appear that the Re? publicans have cause to fear the result in Pennsylvania. If the Democrats carry Indiana on next Tuesday nothing short of a miracle can prevent the election of Hancock in November. Anderson County has never failed to do he;: whole duty in any contest since the straight-out policy was begun. She must not neglect to sustain her proud position this year, even if it does cost a little time and work to keep it up. We bad better leave our cotton and corn in the fields until after the 2nd of November, than allow the State to be carried by the Re? publicans or the Greenbackers. If the vote Is as close as it was-in 1876, it will require a full vote and hard work in this County to save the National and State Democratic tickets. Our County ticket is absolutely secure, but tho State calls on Anderson for from threo to four thou? sand Democratic majority in November. The Greenbackers are the allies of the Republicans in South Carolina. Their candidates are aiding and abetting in the Republican scheme to secure the State, and our people should place the candi? date who runs on the Greenback platform and the man who votes the Greenback ticket upon the same level as the Radical. They are one and the same so faras tbeir influence in the effort to retain good gov ! ernment is concerned. Conkling has spoken his "little word" for Garfield in New York, and it was the bitterest assault yet made upon the South -and the Southern people. It properly displays the sectional hate and venom of the Republican party. In this, nowever, he has not hurt us for he I w?l be sent by the vote of New York on the second of November to console James G. Blaine. If the bloody shirt could not carry Maine, it cannot control New York. Three Tickets. There are now in the field in South Carolina three complete sets of candi? dates for Electors and two sets and a fraction for Congress, representing re? spectively the Democratic, Republican and National Greenback parties.

The Cincinnati Gazette, speaking of Ohio crime, says that "it has become very difficult to convict a murderer, and rather more difficult to hang him after he has been convicted." Such is tho re? sult of Republican rule in Ohio. ? The Philadelphia Republican organs have not yet explained how it is that the new census gives that city 160,500 quali? fied voters and the Republican registra? tion shows 210,346 voters. Which is right? Or is the registration a forgery? ? A Washington letter says: "An item of gossip has been floating around in political circles here for ten days past to the effect that a movement was on foot for the withdrawal of Geu. Garfield from the head of the Republican ticket, and the substitution of Gen. Grant in his place; Not much importance has been attached to this, and for two reasons: First, that there is no recognized author? ity which could undei take tho responsi? bility'of substituting Gen. Grant, oven if Mr. Garfield was willing to get out of the way, and, second, all shrewd politicians agree that if the Republican cause is in such dire straits as some of its supporters seem to fear, it is too late now for Gen. Grant or any one else to savo it. The meeting yesterday between Gen. Gar? field and Gen. Grant, Senators Conkling, Logan and Simon Cameron lias, however, given fresh interest to this pieco a gossip and prominent Republicans to-day, while not exactly crediting it, talk of the possibility of it as a forlorn hope. In this connection it is much commented on that neither Gen. Grant nor Senator Conkling in their speeches yesterday made any personal allusion to Mr. Gar? field, and it is a fact which has never been the case in any previous Presiden? tial campaign, that scarcely any of the leading speakers of the Republican party bring Sir. Garfield into tbeir speeches at all. Several high Government officials to-day were expressing grave doubts as to Republicans success in Ohio next month; and said the Republicans could scarcely have settled on a candidate less calculated to arouse popular enthusiasm than Gen. Garfield." ? A leading authority at New Orleans, viewing tho position of the cotton crop as it stands to-day, figures an increase in Texas of 150,000 bales; an increase in the Atlantic States of 100,000 bales; a de? crease in the country tribut ?ry to New Orleans and Mobile of 300,000 bales, leav? ing Alabama to stand at last year, and making the crop 5,700,000 bales. The abovo figures agree with tho best infor? mation received here from other sources, except with regard to Alabama, which, it is believed, will produce less of tho staple than in 1870, and thus bring tho crop below fifty-seven. With peace in Europe and prosperity at home this cot? ton will all be wanted at figures rather above than below tho averago of tho crop just closed, and for the very sound rea? son that all the desirable cotton of the 5,757,000 bales crop of last year has disap? peared, while the wants of the present year will be, it is thought, rather greater than they were during tho year just closod. ? Three weeks ago Anna Chaplin, a daughter of a director of the First Na? tional Bank at Warshaw, Ind., presented a check for $3,000, signed by her father, I which was paid. He discovered it was forgery and put his daughter in jail, re? fusing to bail her out. In threo days she confessed that the real forger was G. L. Smith, a sewing-machine agent. Smith was also arrested but was admit? ted to bail- On Wednesday aftertoon Smith called at the jail and was allowod to walk with Miss Chaplin in tiio back? yard. They iiad not been there Jong before four pistol shots wero hoard, and when the jailor's family reached the yard the dead bodies of Miss Chaplin and Smith wero discovered lying side by sido the revolver smoking, still remaining in Smith's band Smith had a wife and had been trying to procure a divorce. ? A few weeks ago, when Mr. George Wasson and sistor, of New berry, wore returning home from church, the mule they wero driving to the buggy became frightened, and Miss Jaiuo Wasson jumped from the buggy, breaking tho large bone of tho left arm, Tho other day, -while Mrs. Alexander Nabors, and Miss May Nabors, of tho samo county wero going to Goodgion's Eactory, tho mule attached to their buggy ran away and threw Miss Nabors from the buggy, dislocating the arm at the shoulder and otherwise injuring her. A night or two ago a negro boy, Willis Garllngton, climbed a sapling after a 'possum, from which he felf, breaking both bones of tho left fore-arm. an ordinance: To Prevent Disturbances of the Peace, Public Drunkenness and other Inde? cencies, for the Protection of Pnblic Property, for the Prevention of the Carrying of Concealed Weapons, and for otter Purposes therein Specified, T>E IT ORDAINED by the Intendant JJ and Wardens of the Town of An? derson, S.
