MURRAY, County Chairman. - The Peudleton stock exhibition comes to-day (Thursday). Quite a large aumber of improved horses and colts will be exhibited, and also numerous ] ^HltjeHs^of registered .cattle. In addition -tojthese attractions, Ex-Governor Perry; '?will, deliver an address'before the Pen ;'-xUeton/: Farmers' Association. Great preparations- have: been made for the ; occasion, and a most interesting exhibi % iion' may birexpected. " : ;; Two years ago Mr. W. W. Russell stated in private conversation and in hfs public speeches that he was a true Dem ^^oerat?that he was as much opposed to textile Itepublican "party as any man in the Hg?tate, and that if the Republicans at - tempted, to run a ticket he would come back to the Democratic party, and work earnestly for its success. Now the con? ditions have been fulfilled which Mr. if] .Russell stated w'ould bring him back to the Democratic party. The Republicans have nominated presidential electors and a Staie ticket. Mr. Bussell is nominated as-one of tbe presidential electors. His ?Efriends are now watching his actions with anxious solicitude. There are many of thsm who believe that in 1882 he was mistaken in judgment, bat honest and idncere in his statements-and promises. The time has now come which will prove whether he spoke truthfull v when -hei promised to come 7 back to the Democratic party if the - Bepubb'cann nominated a ticket. It will also prore whether or not Mr. Russell. %-Arassincerewhen be stated that he had ho . sympathy with the Republicans. BgWili he rno now as a Republican Elec? tor? We shall be greatly disappointed if he dots,; for after the speeches he > made two-years ago he cannot honorably do so. We will, however, not have to , watt long to decide, for if be declines he will h&?e to do so promptly. If he docs " not decline, he will have to go back upon ? "v hk promises two years ago, and will prove, himself an associate and compan? ion of the tag-end of the Republican party in this S. t?te. A Modern Gretna Green, As the law in this Slate forbids tbe issuance of a marriage license to a couple '.'J. where one of them is under age and objection is raised thereto from paternal sources, it is becoming quite the style for ''youthful couples in this section to flee to South Carolina and have the bans pro . claimed. It is being carried to such an excess that it is probable a system of I ? inter-Siate laws will have to be made to ; .put & stop to it. As long as the business was confined to one couple here and . .there, it did hot make much difference, but it has now come to such a pass that the old folks are beginning to grumble. They have commenced to take the South Carolina trip on a wholesale scale, the . couples forming parties and going togeth- I -er on grand matrimonial pilgrimages. When the train came in from Fort Mill, 3. C, yesterday afternoon,'a pair of j bridal couples got off and boarded the train for Concoid, being on their return home. Anybody could have told tbat they were bridal couples by their looks, and out of pare curiosity nearly every? body about the depot got to talking to them. It was found that of one of the couples, the groom was the younger by a number of years, and it was for bis bene? fit that the bride bad consented to flee to South Carolina and be joined. The other couple found that it would be more pleasant for them also to be united in a neutral country where marriage licenses are not terrors, and had accordingly fol? lowed the first couple. The schedule is so arranged that they were able to leave Concord at dinner, go to Fort Mill, get married and return home in time for supper. This is a nice little arrangement; and while we would not in the least man? ifest a disposition to interfere with it, yet we must warn -overs that some of these days they are going to get off the train at Fort Mill and find some old bald-headed gentleman there waiting for them with a club. The Fort Mill trip is too good to last \o?g.~Charhllet fr. C, Observer, Republicans in Secret Session. The Columbia Register, of last Friday, says: *? The State Executive Committee of the Republican party met at the Postoffice building last night. A sentinel was stationed at the Main Street entrance to the building who was instructed/ not to admit * any one who did not bear the stamp of a true blue Republican or who was not of their friends, tho Indepen? dents. The door was locked and unlock? ed as occasion required. The partici? pants in the meeting were pledged to secrecy except as to those matters which were desired to be made public. Ora? tions were frequently delivered during the session of the committee, but they sounded only as a mumble of words to the reporters who hung on the railings to the rear of the building. .The platform and address of the com? mittee to tbe Republicans and Indepen? dents will be prepared by a sub-comnrt tee. J. Hendrix McLane was present, en? gineering the interests of the Independ? ents, who failed to accomplish anything under the name of Greenbackers in 1882, and whose ranks to-day are only of strength in the imagination. Bnt the Independents have managed to make the National Republican Committee believe that they are "some pumpkins/' and hence the State Committee have been compelled to give them recognition, as will be seen by the fusion in tbe follow? ing Electoral ticket: Electors at large?-Dr. W. D. Krum, colored, of Charleston; W. W. Russell, Independent, of Anderson. 1st District?Dr. M. H. Collins of Charleston. 2d District?Dr. W. D. Durham, Inde? pendent, of Aiken. 3d District?J. C.

Wilson, col? ored, of Darlington. 7th District?Thos. Raskins, Indepen? dent, of Sumter. A Stirrer up of Strife. The Abbeville Press and Banner pub? lishes a circular letter, from Lem Guffin. which was sent to certain persons in that county urging the negroes to action. The letter is as follows: August, 28,1884.?Do you remember, if not ask some of the older, members of your family if they remember how they were watched and guarded in old times, when there was a spy in your chimney corner, and all your conversations cave dropped to keep you from learning what was being d^jne-by tne Abolition party to make-you free. You are still watched jbfthe same party. You cannot hold a prayer meeting but they have thoir spies and sneaks around to report all that is said or done. That is the way they accord your rightn. Read what the Press and Bannersays. Don't that recall tbe days when a meddling Abolitionist was treated to a coat of tar and feathers for interfering with their loved institution? slavery. But now that you are free, the penalty for advising you to contend for those God given rights that are dear to tbe hearts of all freemen is death. Does the- Press and Banner not advise the Democracy to murder me if I come to Abbeville to help you in this your hour of need? Some general said all he I wanted to know in laying his plan of , battle was first to find out what his ene? my wanted him to do, and that be was ; sure hot to do. Wilson wants Ab. Titus for chairman of the Republican party of Abbeville County.-. Don't have him. Look for your old friend, , Lem Guffin. Blaine and the Letters. New York,, October 5-2 a. m.?An? other letter referring to the Mulligan business has come to light. In 1880 Blaine.be'ieved he had a fair chance to {secure the- Presidential nomination in spite of the Stalwart scheme to renomi nate Geu. Grant. It is well known .that he laid his plans to break the Grant delegations from New York and Penn? sylvania. "He succeeded in doing so, and then began to cast bis anchor to windward preparatory to his leading, as be believed he would, the grand bid party in the Presidential campaigu. It was rnmored at that time, and tbe rumor was renewed early in this year's ! campaign, that he bad made attempts to secure his letters.which remained in the I hands of James Mulligan. ? The following letter from Warren Fisher, of which a/ac simile copy will be published in the World to-morrow morn? ing, proves that these rumors were true: "In April or May of 1880, Blaine sent word to have me meet him at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. He then authorized me to get the letters from, Mulligan, pay $10,000 if I could not get them for less, and then wanted Mr. Mulligan and my? self to go to Europe and remain until after the election, all at his expense. Mr.- Mulligan declined the offer. He said Blaine had stolen bis letters in Washington and he never should have what he held at any price. Youn?, &c, Warren Fisher. Windsor, Vt., July 12,1884." Hanged And Tet Alive. Little Rock, Ark., September 30.? Particulars of the execution of Joe Bo? gard at Lonoke, on the 27th of August, lor assault on the eleven-year-old daugh? ter of a farmer named Rbea, have already been given. Mr. George Sibley, a lead? ing lawyer of Lonoke County, who was appointed by the court to defend tbe negro, is now in this city. He reports positively that although the negro was suspended in the air forty minutes and was pronounced dead, he is alive to-day. The negro was raised near Des Arc, in Prairie County, and after tbe execution his body was delivered to his father, who started in a wagon with the corpse for bis home. Before proceeding far the old man was nearly frightened out of his wits by bearing a groan from the lips of his sou. One of his . companions poured some whisky down the throat of the supposed corpse, and in less than an hour Joe Bogard had opened his eyes, and by the time bis father's home in Prairie County was reached he was able to get out of the wagon without help. Sheriff Reinhart of Prairie County, according to Sibley's story, first heard that Bogard had return? ed to life from some negroes, who wished him to go and arrest him. Sibley says Bogard's relatives have secreted him and have asked Sibley for his legal opinion as to whether the man can be hanged again, having once paid tbe penalty of the law. The Georgia State Election. Augusta, Ga., October 2.?In yester? day's State election there was no opposi? tion to the Democratic ticket and tbe vote was veiry much lighter than four years ago, when a bitter contest for Governor was waged between Colquitt and Norwood. The Legislature elected will return Hon. Joseph E. Brown to the United States Senate. The Independents were defeat? ed in Burke and Green Counties and their other strongholds. In soveral Counties in this section the prohibition ticket was generally successful but creat? ed no Democratic division. Prohibition in one form or another exists in 90 of the 137 Counties in the State. ? A gentleman of prominence in both Georgia and Carolina predicts that frost will visit this section before the clore of next week. If it proves true, he will 1 e a good successor to Vennor. "SUCCESS IS IN THE AIR." Conkling Predicts that Cleveland Will Carry New York. New Yoke, October 2.?Roscoe Conkling, who knows New York politics as well as any man in tbe country, said yeBterday: "The best judges in New York City do not think Butler will poll 12,000 votes there, and it is doubtful if be gets 20,000 in the whele Empire State. Even this vote subtracted from the Dem? ocratic numbers seems disastrous at first sight, but closer consideration shows that throughout the Republican canvass thus far one factor has not been taken into account. This unspoken element which is to play so prominent a part in the campaign is tbe disaffected Stalwart element, which is better defined in New York than elsewhere, and which will un? doubtedly overcome all effort that can be made by the Republicans for gaining che Empire State to Blaine's support. It is also very probable in New York, and almost unquestionable in Massachu? setts, that tbe Independent Republicans will by far exceed any addition that the Irish-American elements may give Blaine and Logan in those States, and considering these facts, there are no reasons why Cleveland will no? carry New York, provided that State does not give Blaine a stronger vote than it did Garfield, which is out of the question at this era of affairs." The reports from the great Indepen? dent meeting in Boston last night show how deep the disaffection is there. One opinion is quoted here to-day with great satisfaction, namely, that of Dr. James Freeman Clarke, one of Boston's bright? est, intelligent lights, who said: "I re* cently visited Governor Cleveland in Albany, and spent an hour with him alone in his private room. He talked with simplicity and freedom, with a man? ner which carried conviction of its truth? fulness. He . did not pretend that he had not done wrong. From what be said I was satified that no one suffered more than himself from his past errors, and I was convinced that he had left them behind. But I gathered this not from any formal confession or profession, but from the depth of conviction with which he spoke." The Republican said: "Boscoe Conk? ling is the man over all the New York Stalwarts, and all of tbe work done during tbe campaign will be under his direction. It was'just the other night that & number of influential Boston and New York Stalwarts held a meeting in New York. It was then decided topj-e pare an address, whicj^os-beerriihlshed and which wilLbe-plissed along the lines from ^e^-ATTantic to the Mississippi, and circulated in every p lace where it will do the most good." Matters are boom ing at headquarters, and money is pouring in. Within the last fortnight a wonderful change has come over tbe spirit with which the Eublic seems to look at National politics, democratic success seems to be in the air. A dozen men with whom I have talked to day say that tbeir doubts of two weeks ago have been entirely cleared away, and they are now sure of Cleve? land's election.

Harter, of North Manchester, Ind., write, under date of May 1st: "The lady with cancer is im? proving right along. The Specific in? creased the discharge for the first few days, but the soreness is gono and she is much better." Mrs. W. H. Route, of Gordonsville, Va., writes, under dsite of May 11, 1884: "I am much improved. The cancer is better, does not pain me at all. It is a wonder to all my friends." Mr. James E. Ligen, of Michaux Fer? ry, Va, writes under date of May 19, 1884: "My condition is greatly im? proved ;. my general health is good; my appetite good; cancer decidedly better, and has begun to heal nicely. How can I ever repay you ?" Mr. J. S. Rhodes, of Mill River, N. C, writes under date of May 19,1884: "My mother has been using Swift's Specific about two weeks, and is improving. The cancer is not l jav painful and is healing." Mr. T. J. Teate.of Wacissa, Flu., writes under date of May 2,1884: "Swift's Spe? cific has cured a cancer on my face, and has almost made a young man out of me." Mr. E. Tinsley, of Burr Mills, Va., writes May 1,1884: "My wife has taken four bottles of Swift's Specific for a can? cer, and has improved wonderfully. I shall keep it up; have no doubt it will cure her."
