The Dem?crata of the Second District have nominated Hon. Samuel Dibble, of Orangeburg, as their candidate for Con* gress to succeed tho late Hon. M. P. O'Conner. The selection of Gen. Dibble , is an excellent ono, and bis election will give to tho people of the State au able and vigilant representative. The elec tion comes off to-day, and iv is well known that the Republicans intend vot ing for E W. M. Mackey. Gen. Dibble desorves success, and it would be a strange exhibition if E. YV. M. Mackey can beat so good a man. Tho colored vote is largely in excess in this District, but wo trust there will bo a sufficient de fection in it to elect tho Democratic can dida^. ANDERSON'S ?ll NE BAL WEALTH. Prof C. Fromm, an experienced min eralogist who bas resided in Anderson fer the past two years, and has mado during that time numerous discoveries of valuable minerals, has consented to collect for Col. A. P. Butler, Commis sioner of Agriculture for this State, specimens of tho' minerals of Anderson County to la exhibited at tho Atlanta Exposition this Fall. Any person hav ing ores of any kind can have them exam ined without charge by bringing them to Prof. Fromm at this place, who will also tako charge of specimens of minerals from thia County for tho Exposition in Atlanta. During his stay in Anderson he . has found tho following minerals herc: Copper, gold, galena, asbestos, plumbago, epidote, corrundum, zircon, amethyst, beryl, garnet, rutile, mica, rock crystal, . (serpentine, mangan?ese, kaolin, - granite, tourmalin, kyanite, chalcedony, chrysolite and eumcrhito. In his opinion tho following mines wonld pay a good dividend upon the necessary capital to operate them. A mica mino, situated on the lan?! of Mr. Samuel Whorton, in the Corner township, u A minc of tho same on tho land of Capt. Jas A. Gray, in tho same town ship. A mine of corrundum aud zircon, situ ated on lands of Messrs. Ben Strickland and John Kaufman, in Hall township. B . Ines of plumbago, situated on lands of Rev. Wilson Ashley and Mr. John T. Ashley, lo Martin township. These raines are said by Prof. Fromm to be the most ostensivo and valuabto plumbago mines in the whole conntry. Ho took from ono of them a solid lump of ono hundred and forty pounds, and ls satisfied that a lump of pure quality can bo taken out weighing from on '.bou saud to ten thousand pounds. T.'.e vein extends from fifty to ono hundroo feet in thickness, and appears to be very rich. He thinks there are other minerals in the Count} .?ith veins of sufficient rich ness tb ropay working, but a? yet they have.not been sufficiently oxplorod to base an opinion upon their quality and oxtent. These are mattera of considerable im portance to tho county, and we hopo our citizens will rendor Prof Fromm every nssietanco possible in bis efforts to make a handsome collection for display in Atlanta. TSE ATLANTA EXPOSITION. Tho Cotton Exposition, which ia to bo held in Atlanta, beginning on the third of October and ending in December, promises to bo such a success that its directors have decided to extend tho scope of tho original onterprise, so as to make it in reality an Industrial Exposi tion, and with this purpose in view ex* hibits of the resources and products of the Southern Slates ar? invited, and will doubtless bo contributed in large imm bera. . It ia, thorofore, important that our Stato should be thoroughly repre sented in every department of her won? derful resources, in order that her capa bilities in minorai, agricultural, meehan? ical add ' manufacturing development may bo fully demonstrated to the thou? sands of visitors from every section of this country and Europe who will gather in Atlanta during that period. It will be the best possible advertising; medium for our State, and a creditable exhibition from South Carolina on this occasion will do moro, to attract hither an immigration of espitar and worthy labor than, all of the circulars, newspaper articles and Immigration agents in the State can do. Realizing this, fact, Col. A. P. Butler, onr able and watchful Commissioner of Agriculture, has taken active steps to secure a full representation in the exhib its from this State, aud baa received, very gratifying assurance of co-operation from tho various counties. Specimens aro wanted of Wheat. Coro. 0?t?, Peas, Rye, Barley, Cotton, Rice, Buckwheat, Flax, Peanuts, Tobacco, Millet, Clover and Grasses, Dried Fruit, Chufas, Molasses, Wines, Woods, Minerals, Stone, any agricultural or mechanical home manu factures, birds and insects, and "every thing that wilt show the wealth of the country." Among tbs articles specially desired are, the largest pumpkin, gourd, eat gf corn, stalks of corn, and relton, boll cf colton, hod of wheat, ?Ad of oat?, -Xbibtts of manufactured goods, and in i'rtct, everything that will display the enterprise, skill, sud natural advantages of the country. We are gratified to see finch general interest, and trust that while tho various portions of the State will be fully represented, that Anderson iii not b? behind auy other Our cottons aro said to rank sid by all anio.' Wo jr various elr cOndd? d felling within their peculiar Tho way to mske a certainty tts? will be io amugo for the J the crop IA growing, thor aod prepare it for exhib?* tho best adven The Governor on hut Wednesday ap pointed Col. Jarr.es L. Orr, formerly ol Anderson, but nor/ an attorney of the Greenville bar. Solicitor of tho Eighth Circuit, to succeed Judge Oothran. Col. Orr is an attorney of ability and vigor, who will discbarge the duties of the in* portant ofiko to which he has been appointed in an efficient end creditable manner. Col. Orr for iw0 i-rsie repre sented this County in the State Legisla ture, and as a member of the historic Wallace House, made a reputation and formed attachments which have led to his promotion. Although a citizen ol Greenville our p*oplo feel a peculiar in terest in bim, because of bis former rosi dence here, and will always be gratified at any success whic'i may attend him in life. Mr. Conkling is an expert at produ cing dead-locks. Ho is credited with engineering the recent Sonstr.rial dead lock in Washington, and now he Is run ning a little ope of his own in tho New York Legislature at Albany. In the race for re-election to the 8enate he has fallen far below the expectation of the public, only commanding at best 32 votes out of a possible 108 Ro^ublican votes. This, however, is enough to make a dead-lock, as the Democrats vote for Democratic candidates. The Legislature being unable to elect will probably ad journ noon. This gives tho election of Senators to the next Legislature, which will be chosen this summer, and will probably givo to the Dem?crata two now Senators. At least it will ranko the campaign in New York exceodlngly in teresting. In tho meantime Mr. Conk ling stands out as tho most successful promoter of dead-locks. The applicants for tho Sol' ^torship of tho Eighth Circuit, made vacant by tho appointment of JudgoCothran to fill tho unexpired term of tho late Judge Thom son, were Messrs. J. L. Orr, J. W. Gray, M. F. Annol, A. C. Carlington and C. W. F?rman, of Greenville; Mr. E. B. Gary, of Abboville; Messrs. E. B. Murrray and B. F. Wbitnor, of Ander son, and Mr. J. S. Vernor, of Walhalla. All of these gentlemen wero endorsed by their friends, and as they were so numer ous it waa impossible for any ono of thom to sccuro tho endorsement of a majority of tho professional or political influences of tho Circuit. In this condition of the canvass, the appointment was reduced practically to a matter of personal pref erence on the part of the Govornor. Tho Readjuster*' Convention in Rich mond last week nominated Cameron for Governor and Lev/in for Lieutenant-Gov ernor. It t 'JO endorsed Mahone. They have performed tho easiest part of their task. Tho hardest work before them is tho election of their ticket, and from preseut appearances they will not bo ablo to accomplish it. Tho Clydes aro not to scoop up the Augusta and Knoxville Road without a contest. The Virginia Midland is OIHO after it. Between the two the people of Augusta are likely to obt-.i'i tory liberal tarma in any disposition th. j may make of their stock in tho road. Conkling has endorsed Mahone, but the trouble is just now that Conkling needs an endorsement himself whloh he does not seem able to get. A Boheme of the Clydes. AGUUSTA, Jane 1.-Col. A. C. Haskell. prcaldc.it of tho Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, hos boon here all day In conference with Prcsidont Verdory, of the Augusta and Knoxville Railroad, and with tho mayor of the city, the object of his vL-dl being to obtain control of tho Augusta and Knoxville Railroad, and this, lt has trans ?ircd, ho ts In a fair way to accomplish, le proposes to tho city to take tho latter's stock, which ts very nearly a controlling interest, and In rotara will guarautce tho Immcdlato completion of tho road to Green wood and tho building of a through Uno to Knoxville via Elberton, Ca.. Toccoa City a\?d Rabuu Gap within three years, giving the city an cqnnl amount of stock in tho nsw line. He will give the city a bond of 950,000 for tho faithful performance of these measures and begin work at onco if tho agree .tent ls perfected. Mt a meeting of tho City Council this afternoon tho proposition was discussed and met with general approval. Thcro ta no doubt that tho arrangement will bo cor.*.: summated, provided, tho requisite bond ls given. This ls looked upon hero aa a movement on the port of tho Clyde Syndl cato to koop out tho Baltimore nud Ohio, which is expected to reach Augusta via tho North Carolina Midland, Spartanburg and Greenwood. Mr. Haskell endeavored to day to purchaso from private partial enough stock to mako a controlling interest with that owned by tho city, and lt ls be lieved that he succeeded. The carrying out of this agreement insures. Augusta another Western connection. - A Mysterious Affair. SociBTY HILT., 8. C., Juno-1.-John H. Hartwell, aged eleven years, son of the Hov. Dr. J. u.

Tho SAWS aro made of the best imported steel. Tho Kaw abaft is tho largest made. An examina tion of other Gins will convince you it is the most substantially built Gin in usc. It never breaks tho roil, and theroforo does away with tho expense of the revolving bead, ns tho secret of making the Gin to prevent its breaking tho roll is in the proper shape of tho roll-box. It is tho only Gin that runs successfully with the Feeder and Condenser attached, and tito only Gin that will feed yellow cotton. Below I give you a few testimonials and names : Lewis C.

We run it by Bteara, and ?in 10 bales of 450 lbs. pet 4?y with ease. It is the best con structed and finest finished Gin I ever BOW. It glnB faster, makes a better sample, and thus far excels in turnout any Gin ever used in this part of tbe country. 'Ibis can be proved by all tho people who huvo had cotton ginned by mo. Wo ginned for the public last Fall 600 bates, and give the best satisfaction of all the gtnners. The seed being so perfectly clean, it makes a better sample. Further, it separates from tho seed cotton, before going into the roll-box, rocks, grit, nails and matches. There is less dangor from fire, owing lo tho Self-Feeder taking out all hard r.::bstan ces before they come in contact with tho saws. The cotton picked by the Cia tho last season was carefully weighed before it was picked and aftev being baled, and the average yield tho season through was 1 lb. of lint for every 2} lbs. of seen cot ton. I have used nineo tho war Gins of four difihrent makes. Yours makes a better liut, clean!', the seed bettor, gins much faster, und for its simplicity unsurpassed. I think it is destined, in a great measure, to supersede all others. I hahrtHy recom mend it to thoso who wish to purchase Gins. It will more than >opay the additional coat. very respectfully, KNIGHT & BALENTINE. BELTON, S. C., May 4, 1881. Afr. John E. Peoples, Anderson, S.

Now, if you desire a good Gin, try the Hall Gin, Feeder and Condenser, made at Sing Sing, N. Y. The Feeder and Condenser can't bo beut, as the Feeder will feed any kind of cotton yellow or dog-tail.

I found no difficulty in ginning yellow cotton, os tho Feeder feeds yellow cotton, and takes out all grit and hard substances before it comes in contact with tho saws. WM. A. NEAL. AKDEESON, 8. C., April 30, 1831.-John E. Peoples, Anderson, fi. C.-DEAR Sra: Tho S0-3aw Hall Oin, Feeder and Condenser, made at 8ing Sing, N. Y., bought of you last Fall, beata anything of the kind that I have ever used, and I have used several different makes of Cotton Gins. It is tho best Oin in uso for durability, lightness of draft, clean ing: tho seed perfectly, and never breaks thc roll, and gives entire satisfaction to myself and customers. I was burnt out thc 25th of last September, and my customers waited ono month on mo until I could get another Hall Gin to gin their cotton. This can be proven by my neighbors. The Feeder and Condenser can't bo beat, I have never had any trouble vdth them. You? truly, M. A. COBB. PIKBCKTOWN, S. C.-Mr. J. E. Peoples, Anderson, 8. G.-DEAD Stu: The 50-SRW Self Feeding Hall Cotton Gin, with Condenser uttached, m&de at Sing-Sing, N. Y., purchased o'you last Fall has given entire satisfaction. It saves tho labor ci one band, and feeds more regularly than could be dono by hand, never breaking thc roll for a day at a time if attended to. I ginned 360 bales lost Fall with it, and it is Tn aa good order appcarantly aB ever. It makes samples to competo with any other gin. Mr. Sanford Martin had a bale ginned on my gin last Fall tUat was pronounced by tho Piedmont Manufacturing Company to bo tho best ever brought to that market, . D.H.HAMMOND. DUE WEST, S.

Ageat, Anderson, S. CL Jua? 2, ISSI 47 -3m DANIEL PRATT GIN COMPANY GIN, FEEDER and CONDENSER. TRIS ia the 60th year of tho Daniel Pratt Colton Gin Business, during which time they hare manufactured over 22.000 Gins, whi :h arc used in every cottton-growing Stat? in the Union, in Mexico, South America, British East Indies, and in almost every other country where cotton is grown. , . The Revolving Head plact>J in thc end of the cotton-box prevent the Gin from chok ing and the roll from breakiug. Any common plantation hand being abto to food tho Gin satisfactorily. The Feeder is superior to any otner machino of the Kind in uso. They are simple in construction, und cosily managed. Thoy stand upon tho floor, and are therefore not so hard io get at. The Condenser is enual to any in use-we believe superior to any now made. The lower end of the cylender being open, ull dirt from tho lint is driven through tho floor by the air from thc gin-brush. By tho uso of thin Condenser the lint-room can be entirely done away with, saving many dollars in the construction of ' buildings, making the labor of handling the cotton before packing far easier, and loss and damage by lire is reduced to u minimum. The Feeder a'd Condenser will pay for theui selv?( in one ?eason. Every machine ls fully warranted to do perfect work, and until tho purchaser is fully satisfied with tho machine wo do not ask for payment. Should any machine provo in any way defective, we make tho hume good at our rxpenie, upon notice being given to us. We givo the names of gentlemen in this and adjoining Coun ties who have the Dariel Pratt GinB, Feeders and Condensers in use. and refer tho public to them, believing that their recommendation of the machines will bo more satisfactory to any ono ctaeiring to purchase than tho ordinary stereotyped form so r /mmon : J.B.
