Several of our low-country exchanges state that there was frost in their sections " on the 1st instant, but tbey must be joking about it. The farmers of Pickens County ought to be happy, as they are prosperous. Their crops this year are better than they have been in any year since the war. Come to the Fair next week and contri? bute to the interest of the occasion. It is on enterprise that our farmers and mechan? ics, and all others, should encourage.

The Ladies' Store is sustaining its. excel *\ lent and well-earned reputation this season. Miss Lizzie Wilhams is one of the best bus? iness ladies in the State, and knows just how to please everybody that can be pleased, v Tho ladies will alwavs be treated hand . somoly by the Ladies Store Thv3 White Sulphur Springs near Cokes bury,, in Abbeville County, is to be im? proved. A"joint stock company of Abbe? ville gentlemen, with a capital of $30,000, is being-organized for the purpose of erecting a commodious hotel at the Springs, which r, will give the up-countn- another watering! fe.place. The ladies of the Baptist Church at Pen? dlet? n will bave'*?n er^rtainment in Fann? ers Hall, in that w>\.n, to-morrow, 15th instant, beginning at 12 o'clock and contin I; uing into the night, at which refreshments of every kind wdl be furnished at reasona yx ble prices. We have no doubt the occasion wiltbe a pleasaxit one for all who attend. Messrs. Cunningham & Co. are one ofl our most enterpiising mercantile firms, and ? their business this fall is excellent. Tbey keep a large stock , of goods on hand, par? ticularly .of hardware, fancy groceries and . agricultural implements,- which are sold at figure) to suit the times. Give them a trial and be convinced of what we say. The following are the estimates of the yield of corn, cotton, rice and peas as based upon the returns to the Department of Ag riculnre from the Northern counties of the Stah>: Corn, 76; cotton, 82; rice, 93; peas, ,83. t An average production is rated at 100. Then?turns from the Middle and Southern counties give a higher estimate than those from the Northern counties. The following is the result of the primary election of Oconee County: Senate, J. L.

Robbins; Judge of Pro? bate, Richard Lewis; School Commissioner, Isaac Wickliffe; County Commissioners, M. Nickilson, Gottob Wanner, M. W. Moss; ; Treasurer, H. F. Alexander; Auditor, J. W. Googe. . > \\ Charles A. McClung and J. Campbell Martin, the parties charged with the murder of L, P. GufHn in Abbeville week before last, the former as principal and the latter as accessory, were brought before Judge McGowan, at Abbeville, on Monday of last week upon a writ of habeas corpus, and, j ? aiter examination; admitted to bail in the sum of $3,000 each. Bird's Crossing, a station on the Blue Ridge Bailroad about one mile above Six and-Twenty trestle, has been made a flag station, which will be a very great advan? tage to citizens living in that vicinity. The fare from that place to Anderson is 35 cents, or 45 cents for return ticket.^ The fare to Pendleton is 30 cents, or 40 cepts for a return ticket. Return tickets are good for three ; days. Several parties bave been brought before the Town Council during the past week for violating the provisions of the Ordinance -. published last week against carrying con? cealed weapons and hitching horses to shade trees, but as it was not generally known that such an Ordinance hod been passed, the offenders were all forgiven. We are authorized to state, however, that after this date tb"se provisions of the Ordinance will be rigidly enforced, as it should be. On last Sunday morning a bale of cotton that had been left in the press of Mr. John E. Peoples, situated on the lot in the rear of his store on Brick Range, was discovered to be on fire, but owing to its being confined the fire had made but little headway. Mr. Peoples .thinks the cotton was set on fire by some evil disposed person during the night, as a burnt match was found lying by the press, and besides it was hardly possible that the cotton could have been ignited by other means. The merchants and business men of Co I lumbia bave published a "commercial, manufacturing and mechanical gazette and planters' and farmers' guide" of 82 pages. ' It is simply an advertising pamphlet that ' will not pay them for the paper it is printed on. The same amount of money judicious? ly extended in newspaper advertising would have paid them five times as well as their "gazette," and at the same time been much better for the printers of their city. News? papers are the Dest advertising mediums in -we world, and wo are surprised that the business men of Columbia have not long since found that out. Mr. Benj. C. Crawford's residence on the "Keowee Place," near the Air Line Rail? road, in Pickens County, was burned on Sunday afternoon last. Mr. Crawford had gone with his family to spend the afternoon with his lather, Mr. J- W. Crawford, a mile and a half away, and while there discovered his house on fire, which i3 in plain view from that place. He hastened home, and reached there in time to save some bedding, a sewing machine, and nearly all of the wearing~apparel of the family, everything else being consumed with the building. The fire is supposed to have originated from a box of ashes, which were taken up and placed in one room of the house that had formerly been used as a kitchen. As the room had a stone floor, no danger was ap Srehended from the box of ashes. The onse was the former residence of John E. Cttlhoun. A colored man by the name of George Norris, who lives in the Corner, we believe, was arrested in town on last FridRy after? noon jnst as he was preparing to leave for home for stealing. He had a bag, m which was found the following articles: two um? brellas, two pieces of bacon, eight pairs of shoes, one bolt of jeanB, seven pounds of 1 cheese two hats, one vest, one ball of twin*, one box of matches and five or six sample lots of coffee, the whole amount worth 835, and taken from the stores of Messrs. Arn? stein & Rose. Reed, Moorhcad & Co., A. Lesser Blecklev, Brown & Co. and J. R. Fant <k Co. He was taken before Trial Justice Waitefield on three separate indict? ments and committed to jail for 30 days on each of the indictments. He is at least one man that didn't come to town simply to attend the circus. The hot supper given by the colored Baptists in Masonic Hall on Friday night last ended in a most disgraceful row Two colored men, both of whom were drinking, got into a difficulty and became so boister? ous that it was found necessary to call in the police, whose authority was most defi? antly opposed, not only by the principals of the difficulty, but also by several of their friends, among whom were two or three women. As soon as Mr. Fant, Chief of Police, entered the hall a crowd of mad? dened and infuriated negroes surrounded him and in a few seconds had him on the floor, and Sloan Williams, who seemed to be the leader of the gang, did his best to take his life with a knife, but whose blows were successfully warded off, Mr. Fant re? ceiving only a slight cut on the left eye? brow. While Mr. Fant was being abused, the crowd did all in t heir power to keep the other policemen from interfering, which indicates strongly that the whole affair was a preconcerted plan to entrap the police of the town and wreak vengeance upon them for some imaginary wrong. It tcok several minutes1 hard work to quell the disturbance and restore things to order. In the fracas Williams received a severe blow on the head, and was carried to the callaboose, but was afterwards released on bond to appear for trial. Tilda White, a sister of Wil? liams', also received a severe blow for inter? fering with the police and attempting to prevent the latter's arrest, from the effect of which we understand she has since suffered considerably. Friday, Circus Day. It is pretty generally conceded that the crowd in town on last Friday was about the largest ever congregated at this place on any occasion. It was variously estimated at from eight to ten thousand persons, at least two-thirds of whom were colored. They came from every section of the County, and by 6 o'clock the sou are snd streets of the town were crowded with people and vehi? cles to such an extent that it was with diffi? culty that a person could get from one part of the main portion of town to the other, except on foot. It was evident early in the morning that the day would be an extreme? ly boisterous one, as ardent spirits were be? ing freely imbibed by old and young, big and little, which seemed to develop the fighting qualities to a remarkable degree in even those wbo ordinarily are quiet and inoffensive while under the influence 'of strong drink. We do not think there ever was as much drunkenness and disorderly conduct in oar town in one day before, and although there was a police force of eighteen or twenty on duty, it was simply impossible to preserve order. A large num? ber of arrests of both white and colored persons were made, who were committed to the callaboose, and who have since been dealt with by the Town Council for their several offences. The circus arrived at this place at about 3 a. in., and the scene at the Blue Ridge yard, where the exhibition was given, from that time until about 7 p. m., when they left, was indeed a lively one. By 10 o'clock everything was in readiness for the exhibi? tions of the day, which opened with a street parade, and about the poorest we ever saw. The side show, which are usually first-class frauda, was very good?better than usual? the most attractive features of which were educated animals and an illusionist. The inenagery was about as attractive as menag? eries generally are, but had no animals not usually found' in such exhibitions. In the circus proper, there was some good acting, good riding, a .tolerably good clown and some splendidly educated dogs, the feats and pranks of which afforded the audience more pleasure than any other one feature of thin exhibition. There were about four or five thousand persons under the canvas, about equally divided between tbe races. Taken all together, the entire performan? ces and exhibitions of the day would com? pare favorably with those of other circuses that have visited our community. One es? pecially commendable feature of Robinson's Circus is the fact that it is not accompanied by the horde of thieves and gamblers that usually follow circuses for the purpose of robbing and cheating the ignorant out of their hard-earned means.' Opening Up the Savannah River. Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, has written a letter to gentlemen on the subject of opening up the Savannah River to navigation, in which he says that tbe late Congress appropriated the sum of $20, 000 for that purpose, which is to be expend? ed between July 1,1880 and July 1, lSdl. Mr. Stephens says: Like all other appropriations in the same bill, which aggregate to between eight and ten millions dollars, the money is to be un? der the direction of the Chief Engineer of the United States. He in this, as in all other cases, will appoint some subordinate officer to supervise the work. Federal appropriations for improvements in rivers ana harbors are always expended under the direction and control of Federal officers, and in accordance-with previous surveys made by Federal officers. In this case I had an act passed ordering a survey to be made, with estimates for improving the Savannah River above Augusta up to - the mouth of Tugaloo River. The survey was made by Lieut. Carson, I think his name is, two years ago. He made a favora? ble report. The aggregate, I now think, was about $250,000 to complete the work as he thought the public interest requires. Forty or fifty thousand he recommended (I think this was the sum) to be used annually. I madejevery exertion in my power to have his recommendation, whatever it was, carried out, but could not get the appropriation the first year for a larger sum than $20,000. This was about the same ratio, granted to esti? mates made by engineers on other rivers. I suppose an officer will be detailed to take charge of this work within a month at least. I have not as yet heard from the En? gineer in Chief. There are so many works of this sort provided for in the bill it will require some time for him to organize his numerous corps. 1 suppose also the work will begin at Au . gnsta and proceed upwards. I am not cer? tain of this, however. The Engineer may upon arrival and examining the report of Lieut. Carson come to the conclusion that $20,000 may be more usefully expended up? on some points or shoals above Augusta. As soon as I know who the officer is I will give him a letter to you and other well in? formed, practical men along the line who can let him know where the chief difficul? ties and obstructions lie, and to consult with him as to how the money can be most use? fully expended according to the purpose of Congress. An Appeal to the Temperance Feople of Anderson County. Temperance people, why should we Talk longer? Is it not in order to ask, Shall we begin1 work? Or has the temperance talk of the past year done so much for the cause that no further effort is needed ? So much indeed was gained in the temperance inter? est that more liquor was sold last year than daring the year before. Could it be unwise for temperance people to do a judicious amount of work now? A movement has began in our County, and thus far its suc? cess is encouraging. Its object is to got the Connty Local Option law forourState, and to do something for the condition of Charles? ton. Without staoding upon ceremony, and waiting for some one else?in end amounting to nobody?to take or to make action, let some one in each neighborhood join with willing heart in the work. Write to either of the committee below for special informa? tion and directions. Let the temperance people be all together, and show their strength, and do something by the time of the meeting of the coming Legislature.? The enterprise requires work; it deserves work; mav it get work. W. T. Landeb, ) J. G. Clikkscai.es, [ Committee. G. W. Anderson, J Williau3lon, & C, Oct. Silt 1880. Wllliamston.
