TBB PKTim.ETON STOCK EIHimTin?!:
The show of fine colts and blooded
cattle at Pendleton on lest Thursday was
far better than the most enthusiastic
originators of the exhibition anticipated.
It waa the sixty-ninth anniversary of the
Pendleton Farmers' Society, which, as
our readers know, ia one of the oldest
?nd most influential organizations of
farmers that has ever exhibited in this
State. Long before tho war ita nnnlvoz
sary meetings were the occasion of large
gatherings, and eloquent discussions of
aii. tho questions of interest upon the
farm. Since ibo war, there has been no
effort to revive the public work of this
Society until the happy inspiration o!
th? exhibition of atook waa thought of.
The public square nt Pendleton waa
?.ned for the exhibition, tho park being
. ten np to cattle, and th? spacious
y jets around lt occupied hythe horses
abd colts. There were some fifty exbi
bilious of cattle, Including Jerseys,
Ayresbireo, Derona, Brahmins, Holsteins
and grades. We have not space to notice
th? many merit? ?nd attractions of thte
exhibit, but must say that it was a better
exhibit than we have ?verseen at the
State Fair.
. The Holstein? exhibited by Col. M.
W. Coleman, of Seneca, attracted a great
deal of attention, from th? faotthat they
aro the only animals of the. kind in the
upper portion of the State. Tho many
stock fai-is around Pendleton had ?p?en*
did specimens of blooded cattle there,
which attracted universal commendation.

The Society bad also arranged for an
address upon the occasion to be delivered
by Ex-Gov. B. F. Perry, and for the ac
commodation of the hearers had erected
a stand, handsomely decorated, and a
number of comfortable seats. Qov. Perry
was introduced by Col. It. W. Simpson
and was greeted with hearty applause.
He spoke about thirty minutes upon tho
lcadiog ideas of the agriculture of to day.
The speaker exhibited an intimate ac
quaintance with the practical manage
ment of the farm. He spoke of the ad
vautoges of improved labor-saving ma
chinery, tho benefits of the Stock law, in
tho improvement of stock, advocating
tho more general use of homemade ma
nures, doep ploughing in the preparation
of land and shallow cultivation after
wards, and urged the more common
planting of clovers sud grames. Gov.
Perry made eloquent references to tho
distinguished men of the past who had
been members of tho Society, and in
passing recalled tho trials through which
the State bad passed under the rule of
scalawag scoundrels from the North who
came here to steal, and the glorious re
demption of the State in tho struggle of
1876. He spoke also of the evils of the
protective tariff to the country and to
tho laboring classes, of tho defalcations
of public officers under Grant's adminis
tration, and of tho corruption of tho
Republican party in general. Before
closing the speaker paid a high compli
ment to Cleveland and Hendricks and
confidently predicted their election.
There was a large crowd of spectators
present, and they were well repaid for
their attendance. The originators of
this exhibition have done a good work
for the public, sud it hos resulted in giv
ing wlde-snrcad information of the
progress and success of the people of
Pendleton and vicinity in the matter of
the improvement of the stock and cattle
of this country. We have no doubt that
thero is more blooded and valuable stock
within Ove miles of Fendloton than In
the same territory in any other portion
of South Carolina. Wo trust this exhi
bition will give a new impetus to the
spirit of stock and cattle improvement in
this section of the State.
Silence is sometimes said to be golden,
but at this particular juncture Mr. W. W.
Bussell is losing a golden opportunity in
not speaking. His reputation is at stake,
and the timo lo prove himself to bo a
sincere man is fast passing away. He
said two years ago that bc was a truer
Democrat Iban those who controlled the
Democrat!? party, and that if tbs Repub
licans nominated a State ticket he would
come immediately bock to the Democrat
ic party. The Republicans have nomi
nated a full ticket, and Mr. Bussell is on
that ticket as a presidential elector. He
must, therefore, either decline this nomi
nation 01 adssU 'bal L& U not only no
2>5EG=rst, hst that be ti a fell Sledged
Badical, and that be did not mean lt
when he promised to oppose the Radicals if
they nominated a ticket. It makes very
little difference to anybody what Mr.
Russell does, except so far as they would
personally like tn see him maintain bis
reputation for sincerity of purpose and
of opcecb. He and the motly crew with
whlob be ia associated will be buried out
of sight at the polia in November. If
Mr. Russet! wants to stay away from the
decent people of his Stater io order to
make bia political companions of auch'
men as Corbin, Melton.Stolbraod, Small J,
McLano, et id cmne genu?, be has the
light to indulge Mattete. It may be a
consolation to him to know that; he will
not be able to lead off any Dem?crata
into such disreputable political company
tu he seems disposed to cast hi - We
even yet hope that Mr. Russell, u . hie
own cake, and the sake of his friends,
Will not allow thc* Radicals to make' o
sacrifice of bim, but that be will come
out like a man ?nd fulfill blt promises of
two yean ago by declining the empty
nomination of a party with which lt will
be ft disgrace for him to be Identified.

The Republican Congressional Con
vention, which met at 8eneca last
week, nominated W. J. Tolbert, of Ab
beville, for Congress from the Third Con
gressional District. Mr. Tolbert ia a
white scaUowag who deserted the people
bf the State some yeera ago, and has
aloco that timo been moat bitter and vin
dictive in bis hatred towards the white
people. He ia a man of means, and will
doubtless make aa good a canvass aa any
mau the Republicana could have nomi
nated. Our pcoplo must see to it that
Gol. Aiken beata bim at least three
thousand votes In tb ls County.
Dr. Fish, one of tho nominees of thc
Republican parly for presidential elector
in New York, baa resigned because he
cannot conscientiously vote for Mr,
Blaine for President. It baa come to a
pretty pass when the Republicana are
eaking the people of thia great country'
to vote for a man for President who many
lifelong Republicans cannot support,
bmow they do not believe him to be
honest. .

British Capital Dl?trn.*tf<| Blaine's Hon
or.
MB. EpiTOn: In the July number of
the landon Quarterly Review there ap
peared an article entitled "Romaneo nod
Reality of American Railroads.3' With
the view of enlightening Ibo minds of
British capitalists, it proceeds to give
au exhaustive and startling account of
our Railway system, and exposes to view
a record of such infamy as would almost
seem impossible. British capital ls
warned by the lestons of the pa**, and
tho gloomy outlook of the future, to bo
cautious. The picturo drawn of thc
Enos' and Fisk?, the Grants & Wards,
and their operations and failures is sim
ply terrible, and enough to mako even a
Wall 8lrcet broker blush, and tho moral
deduced is well put, "when tho man of
business takes with him to bis office the
spirit and habit? of the gambler bis fate
is only a question of time."
The author then proceeds to some re
flections on tho decliue of stocks, the
panic, the stnguaut nature of tho wheat
market and of trade generally. Ho pre
Jicts that American wheat will never
again bc so protilnblo a crop as it bas
been in thc past, and shows what are thc
causes which will dethrone the "Great
West" from her supremacy. Tho enor
mous increase of exportation of wheat
from "British India," and the immense
advantage which /ree trade with India
offers to Englinh and Continental Manu
facture?.
At the close of tho article tho author
deals in some reflections upon our polit
ical condition and our pending Presiden
tial olection, ami bis word* aro HS fol
lows:
"Mr. Blaine is intensely anti-English,
but ho is moderate in bis views in com
parison with Gen. Logan who might be
President one day, and who as President
of the ?eoato must exorcise grout influ
ence. Should these candidates be elected,
wc do not hesitate to say that il would be
hoove English people to be trebly cautious
how (hey invested money in the United
Stales. They will do well to watch the
course of events very closely. "The author
then indulges in a few dignified remon
strances against tho ungenerous treat
ment of England by Americn, and goes
on to say : "We repeat our waruing, that
for some timo to come the greatest cir
cumspection should bo used in regard to
American investments. The facts which
we have given aro alone sufficient to sug
gest the witdom of this course at all
times, but it in especially incumbent upon
people of moderato means lo follow it
?ow. For it is by no means so certain,
as some Americans profess to think, that
tho worst of the storm ia over, and that
tho year 1884 will come to an end with
out another startliug collapse of a great
railroud, or a repetition perhaps on a
grander scale of the strange story of
Mr. Ferdinand Ward."

A College In the Piedmont.
PICKENS, October 9.-Much interest
is now manifested in this section about a
new college enterprise. Some two or
three months ago the Rev. Hugh McLees
was present at a large meeting of the
citizens of Pickens and Anderson Coun
ties, at Carmel Church, which is nearly
on the line separating the two Counties.
At this gathering Mr. McLees made an
address in which he strongly advocated
the establishment in this section of the
8lnte of a college or school whose main
work would be to fit young men for spe
cial vocations iu life. The suggestion
took weil, and stops are now being taken
which look toward such an institution.
Mrs. Eleanor Walker bas given one hun
dred and twenty acres of valuable laud,
and Mr. Berry Martin thirty acres, as a
location for the institution.
The name of the institution is to be
the Walker-Mcllmolle College. The
lands shove mentioned ha**e been deeded
to a noora of trustees, of which sx Gov
ernor ?. F. Perry is president. The
College will be located on the line be
tween Pickens and Anderson Counties,
about six miles from Pendleton. The
main object in the minds of the founders
Is to fit young men for scientific farming
and the practical trades of life. Stil,
other donations are expected.- The
board is to meet at an carly day to con
sider the subject fully. Much praise ia
due to tho Kev. Hugh McLees for the
interest ho is manifesting in the enter
prise. Thinking men are of the opinion
that such an enterprise can be made a
success, and that it will add greatly to
the educational advantages or this sec
tion cf the State.
The New Cern?an Colony,
Simeon Hyde, of Charleston, waa in
the oity yesterday, and in behalf of di
em-- siloed and delivered a contrae? of
tale of the Table Bock tract in Ouonco
end Pickens Counties to Mr. Busaebaum,
of Germany. Mr. Bussebaum is author
ised to take immediate possession of the
unoccupied-land of th i B tract and will
furoceea to have it surveyed and divided
tito convenient tracts without delay,
?fte! vbioh ho will begin to bring Immi
grants of the best class from Germany
and settle them.
Mr. Busaebaum is a thorough business
man and his course has been auch aa to
win for him. the confidence and respect
of all who have met him. There io
nothing of the visionary or the enthusi
ast about bim. Ho has settled down'
here in a quiet nay and gone carefully
to work in the slow ant? sure German
manner to master all the details ot his
undertaking. Ile is backed by ample
capital at home, and ls the man to make
Immigration a sucoeae. He ia delighted
with Greenville and this section of
country, and will begin active operations
as aeon aa possible, lie ii confident
that he will succeed, and talks of his
plana in a businesslike way that carries
conviction with it.
The importance of tho movement of
which he ia the pioneer cannot be over
estimated. It promises to open up to
intelligent cultivation a vast tract of land
now useless and to settle the mountain ;
country thickly with, a moat valuable
population bf thrifty, industrious and In
teljlgent Germana.

Keely's Motor Tented.
Jobo \V. Keely, the inventor, last
evening gave ?. private exhibition of Ibo
power of hi" -mysterious motor in the
presence of a party of prominent New
York capitalists, who came over to wit
ness the experiments upon the invitation
of F. G. Green, the president of tho
Keely Motor Company. The re-ult of
the experiments was very satisfactory
although they were but a reproduction
of previons tests made by Mr. Keely in
the presence of the directors of ihc
motor company. In his Grst experiment
Mr. Keely charged his generator with
two goblets of water, which he injected
into the reservoir by means of his mouth.
In less than five seconds he charged the
receiver with the etheric vapor, lie
communicated the force through a long,
slendor hollow brasa tube lo a piston
capabW. of withstanding a pressure of
2S,000 pounds to the square inch. The
piston operated a lever, upon one end of
which was a big iron ball weighing 570
pounds. With one expulsion of the
vapor this great weight was lifted as
easily as though it were a feather. Mr.
Keely then added to the long arm of the
lever another iron ball weighing 112
pounds, making tho total weight 682
pounds. A Becond expulsion of vapor
was made in two seconds, by simply
turning a stopcock on the generator, and
tho two iron balls silently moved upwards,
showing that the vapor was exerting nt
tho piston a force of Tl,730 pounds to tho
square inch. Two gentlemen of the
party then stepped on tho long arm of
the lever, and were also easily lifted up,
the pressure shown nt the piston hoing
over 16,000 pounds tothe square inch.
Mr. Keely's next experiment was with
the motor gun he recently used at Sandy
Hook. The first bullet, of lead, nearly
an inch in diameter, was projected
through two blocks of wood each three
inches thick and placed one foot apart.
The holes in the wooded barricades were
as clean na though bored by an augur.
Tho barrel of the gun WBB not heated by
tho projection of ibe missiles. Several
phots were fired aud the bullets were
flattened out as big as a saucer and as
thin ns paper against a steel barricade.
Some of tho gentlemen present were
afraid the gun would burst, so great was
the power of propulsion developed, and
sought refuge behind the largo motor as
yet uncompleted.
Tho third experiment was with tho
small fifteen horse-power motor. Tho
connection witii thc motor and the gen
erator was made only after considerable
delny, it being found necessary to do
considerable soldering to the joints in the
tube leading from one mucnine to the
other. Finally, shortly before midnight,
this was accomplished, the etheric vapor
was turned ou and thc motor moved off
os easily and regularly as if operated by
a steam engine. Mr. Keely regulated the
revolutions at will. Efforts were made
to stop the revolutions of the motor by
means of an iron crowbar, but were
without effect. The motion was not
perceptibly affected. In many respects it
was tue most successful exhibition of the
motor ever given. A very high and
uniform rato of Bpced was .-diown, and it
was demonstrated by scientific tests that
tho power developed was enormous
sufficient to operate with equal case a
500-horse power machine. The gentle
men present were delighted with the
experiment.
The final exhibition was that of an
ingenious contrivance devised by Mr.
Keely to display a simple application of
the etheric vapor. It consists simply of
a rod of metal running from a very Bmall
receiver. One end of the rod was placed
against the support of a hollow brass
globe set on an axis. By bitting the re
ceiver nnd intensifying tho vibrations
over the rod, the hollow *.;lobe was made
to revolve BO rapidly ai to produce a
sound like that made by a buzz-saw.
Three cheers were given for Mr. Keely at
the end of the experiment.-Philadelphia

Blaine and Mulligan.
NEW YOBK, October|10.-The Wald
will to-morrow publish the following dis*
patch :
Bo?TOS-, Ortober 10.-ia icference to
Mr. Blaine's denial of the assertion of
Warren Fisher that he (Blaine) had
offered a sum of money for the Mulligan
letters, Mr. Fisher, in an interview, aays
tbat, at the request of Mr. Elisha Atkins,
ac-i at the special request of Mr. Blaine,
he went to New York in the apring of
1880, and met Mr. Blaine at the 5th
Avenue Hotel, that then and there Mr.
ijiaine made his ??quest, definitely stated.
What was Mr. Blaine's request ?
To obtain by money or ot her wino from
Jim Mulligan all letters, copies of letters,
all the letter books, copies from letter
books, and memoranda of every name
and nature in which Mr. Blaine waa
mentioned or had any interest.
What was the amount to be paid for
the delivery of these ?
The amount to be paid was not limited.
I was to pay $10,000 if I could not obtain
them for less. Mr. Blaine further Btated
that Mr. John Cummings, the partner of
Elisha Atkins & Co., could furnish all
the money for the parchase of the letters, .
and he authorised me to confer with Mr.
Cummings about the money to be paid to
Mr. Mulligan if the letters could be pur
chased.
Did Mr. Elisha Atkins know of this
proposition ?
Certainly, . He knew of roy progress
from tiro*? tn time about the ourchase of
the letters, and' stated that his partner
bad all the funds required if the pur
chase was made as his partner (Mr.
Cummings), had recently sold all of
Blaine's Little Bock and Fort Smith
Railroad Btock at about $80 per share,
which Mr. Atkins thought at the time
was a foolish sale, as the stock afterwards
advanced, reaching about $60.

A Strange Story of a Tree. .
The Charlotte Observer is responsible
for the following story: The people
about Bock Hill are at present dividing
their attention between politics and a
mysterious plum tree that hos recently
been discovered ia their neighborhood
and which possesses qualities that mystify
and astonishes the people. Th? tree is an
ordinary plum tree,yet all day long there
hangs about it a sort of a moist or fog
?nd tho grass under it is constantly wet
as with drops cf dew. The citizens call
lt "the rain tree." Mr. John Budisill of
thia city yesterday returned from Rook
Hill, where he had been on business.
While there he heard tho people talking
?bout thia tree and having his curiosity
excited, he concluded to Investigate the
matter. When ha arrived at the tree the
?an was shining bright and hot' and all
the earth waa parched, yet from the tree
hung a mist that resembled a fog. Mr
Rudi si li stood, under the tree for about
Av? minutes, at the ?nd of which Unie
water stood in drops on bis bat. Ho ?aya
that tho nco really drops water, but the
cause is something tbat the people can't
understand. This curious behavior of
th? tree was discovered about tao weeks

A CARD.
WE would like to call to the attention
of the people of Anderson County a few
significant facts concerning the Drug
Store of HILL BROS., recently moved
from Broyles' Building on Main Street to
McCul ly's Corner on the Public Square
Smiths' old stand.
In the first place these men endeavor,by
watching their business closely, to keep
always on bend suoh Drugs, Patent Med
icines. Lamps, and other articles in their
line, that parties wishing to come or send
to their Store for anything, not entirely
out of date, can always be accommodated.
For instance, the season for sowing wheat
is now upon us, and they have plenty of I
Blue. Stone fur soaking it all; And so
when the bilious seasons come they have
always on band a plenteous supply of
Liver Regulators, Pula, Ac., end in the
chills and fever time they double their
stock of Quinine and Chill Cures of all
kinds. And even so in tho season when
"young mien's fancies lightly torn," &c.
that ia, along about Christmas, you can
always find there what you went in the
way of beautiful Celluloid Sets, hand
some Dressing Cases, deliciously scented :
..nd elegantly decorated Perfumed Bottles. '
L&dtesrWork Boxes, lovely Mirrors anti
Fancy Articles of every description.
It is true they keep a stock of ali these
things throughout the yeer, but they tty
to regulato the quantities to nuit the
season for which they are particularly
adapted ; and while even in Spring and
Summer they keep their stock of Lamps
foll, you will find that they have now on
band the largest and best selected stock
of Library, Extension, Stand end Hand
Lampa they have ?ver kept before-it is
really worth a walk over there to see the
display.
mother significant tact is, that the
Junior partner, who i? the Druggist,
steeps on the Public Bqoaro, Ia easy ac
cess to those wishing Prescription? cr
