Mr, Cohen, the Solicitor for tho Augusta Exposition, has recently been visiting Greenville, Spartanburg and other por? tions of upper Carolina. On his return to Augusta a few days ago a Chronicle reporter interviewed him in leference to his trip, and in that interview Mr. Cohen had this to. say about Anderson County: "I se? cured while in upper Carolina one of the biggest drawing cards we will have for our big show. It is the exhibit of An? derson County ; and I will tell you right now that Anderson will make a big show for first place among the exhibiting conn ties of the two States. They have secured a good deal of space, and, among other things, lion. Augustiuo Smythe, secretary of the exhibit, has secured fifty stalls for the horse and cattle exhibit for his coun? ty, which will bo very good indeed. Keep your eye on Anderson County." The Greenville News, of last Saturday, says: "Mr. Dill met a man on Main street just this side of the bridjje between 12 and 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon, who stop? ped him and begged him to carry him to a doctor, saying that he was shot. The man gave his name,as Wm. Martin, of Anderson, and said that he had been ex? amining a pistol when it went off and shot him in the breast. He was taken to Dr. T. W. Bailey's office, where it was found that the ball, a 32 calibre, had entered the right breast near the nipple and penetrated to a point under the shoulder blade. The man was too weak to take care of himself and he was taken to his home in Ander? son by Dr. Bailey. Serious fears are en? tertained that he will not recover." Mrs. Nancy L. Fretwell, relict of the late Mr. J. Y. Fretwell, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. N. A. McCully, in this city, on last Saturday morning, about 2 o'clock. Mrs. Fretwell has been a great sufferer for about a year, but she bore her illness with much patience. She was about 65 years of age, and was born and reared in this County, where she has always resided. In early childhood she joined the Baptist Church, and through? out hers was a pure, sweet, simple Chris? tian life?just such a life as everybody admires and loves. Those who knew her best loved her most, for she possessed a most lovable disposition. Besides a host of friends and relatives, she leaves behind her two sons and one daughter, who are consoled with the thought that she has passed from this world of sorrow to that bright world above. On Saturday after? noon, in the presence of a large concourse of friends and relatives, her remains were laid to rest in the Baptist cemetery, Rev. A. A. Marshall, assisted by Rev. Dr. Fri erson, conducting the funeral services. Deafh of Mrs. Broyles. It is our' sad duty this week to record the death of one of Anderson's oldest and most highly esteemed ladies, Mrs. Sarah A. Broyles, which occurred at her home in this city last Sunday afternoon, at about 4 o'clock, after a brief ill? ness. She had not been conscious since Friday afternoon, having been stricken with paralysis, and she quietly passed away without suffering any pain. Mrs, Broyles' maiden name was Talia ferro, she being the eldest daughter of Zacharias Taliaferro, who married and came from Virginia to upper Carolina in 1802f settling three miles east of Pendle ton, where the deceased was bom and raised. She was born in 1803, which would make her at the time of her death more than 85 years of age. In 1823 she married Dr. 0. R. Broyles, and continued to live near Bendleton until 1852, when they moved to Anderson, where she has ever since resided. Dr. Broyes died in 1875. Mrs. Broyles was a lady of superior intellect, and possessed many noble quali? ties of both heart and mind. The writer of this has known her intimately since his boyhood, having resided a flear neighbor to her all that time, and he fe?>l3 his ina? bility to do justice to her many excellent virtues. She was a splendid type of a pure, cultured, true womanhood, and in her religious duties, in the social circle, at home and in every other station where she. was called upon to do her duty, she was ever faithful and true. In her latter years the feebleness of old age kept her at home, but in cases of sickness and sor? row among her immediate friends she was ever ready to administer to their com? fort, cither by deeds of kindness or sympa? thetic words of consolation. She lived a faithful Christian life that spread joy and sunshine wherever she went. Mrs. Broyles was brought up in the Episcopal church, but united herself with the Methodist church in 1845. She reared a family of ten children,. eight of v* horn survive her. She -retained her mental vigor up to her illness, and long ago ex? pressed herself as being ready for the summons of death at any time. Her memory will long be cherished by her numerous friends. She has entered that bright world above, where she will wear a crown of many jewels. The funeral services were held at the home of the deceased on Tuesday morn? ing at 11 o'clock, being conducted by Rev. W. S. Wightman, after which the remains were interred beside those of her husband on the premises. Tho Primary. Election. ? Last Friday the first primary election took place. There was not much interest taken in it except by the candidates and their immediate friends. The vote was about the same as that polled two years ago. The race for Treasurer seemed to tike the lead. . By 12 o'clock Saturday all the returns were in, and the Executive Committee bagau the tabulation. This took a long time, and about 4 o'clock in the afternoon the.bell rang as a signal that they were ready to declare the result of the election. The Court House was soon filled with those anxious to know the fate of their friends. The number of votes received by each candidate was announced, and the total vote fixed at 3423, which made it requisite for a candidate to get 1712 votes before he could be declared elected. At this point Gen. W. W. Humphreys moved that the total vote be ascertained by adding up the votes cast for the various candidates for the same office, and dividing this sum by the number to be elected. For instance, add up all the votes received by the candi? dates for County Commissioners and di? vide the sum by 3, the number to be elect? ed. This motion was put and carried. There was considerable opposition to it. Adopting this rule, .Capt. B. C. Martin would have been elected, so would John E. Breazeale, Esq. A motion was made to reconsider, and Capt. Martin arose and said he hoped it would be reconsidered, as he was willing to take his chances with the rest of tho candidates in the second race. It was reconsidered and the total vote fixed according to the poll lists, The following is the result as declared by the Executive Cominittoe: J. Perry Glenn, H. R Vandiver and J. Belton Wat? son elected to the Legislature. J. E. Brea? zeale aud R. P. Clinkscalcs will run the race over for the Legislature. M. P. Trib? ble elected Clerk of Court, W. F. Cox Judge of Probate, W. L. Bolt Sheriff, W. H. Frierson Treasurer, R. Y. H. Nance Coroner, and T. J. Webb Auditor. R. W. Todd and D. H. Russell will run the sec? ond race for Sc?ool Commissioner. . No one received a majority for County Com? missioner, and Cupt. B. C, Martiu, W. T. McGill, A. W. Pickens, a B. Gilber, R. S. Bailey and J. P. McGee will have to make the second race, Mr. McGee, however, publishes a card in this paper announcing his withdrawal from the race. Tho official returns from the other Counties show that Messrs. Ansel and Mc Gowan will run the second race for Solic? itor, Col. Child having been loft out on the first ballot. The second primary will take plaoe on the 81st inst., at which will be voted for a Solicitor, one Representative, a School Commissioner, and three County Commis? sioners.

The- eighty-sixth annual meeting of the Saluda Baptist Association was held with the Barker'a Creek Church August 7?0. There was an unnsally large attendance on Tuesday, the'first day of meeting. The in? troductory sermon was preached under the arbor by Key. A. A. Marshall, at the close of which a recess', was taken. Upon assembling in the Church in the afternoon, the Association was called to order by Rev. J. S. Murray. The letters from the various Churches were read, and the names of delegates enrolled. The Association is composed of thirty-one Churches situa? ted in Abbeville and Anderson Counties, twenty-eight of which were represented. The old officers, J. 8. Murray Moderator, Rev. M. McGee Clerk, and Dr. J. A. Rob? inson Assistant Clerk and Treasurer, were re-elected by acclamation. Upon the or? ganization of the body, it at once proceed? ed to business. There were reports submitted during the session upon the various subjects submit? ted to Standing Committees, namely: On State of Religion, Sunday Schools, Edu? cation, Temperance, State Missions, For? eign Missions, Home Missions, Woman's Mission,' Col portage, and on Deceased Ministers. These reports were ably pre? pared and elicited interesting and instruc? tive discussion. The time of the Associa? tion was principally occupied in the con? sideration of these various reports, which, embracing as they do, the fields of Christian labor in which the Association is especial? ly engaged, were ably discussed and enforc? ed by a number of the delegates and also by visiting ministers. These discussions were highly interesting and instructive and were attentively listened to by crowd? ed houses. The Committee on Deceased Ministers reported that there was cause for profound gratitude to Him in whose hands are the lives of all, that no minister had been removed by death from his Christian work during the year. At the meeting last year, the Associa? tion made a departure from general usage by appointing a committee of ladies to write the report upon "Woman's Mission to Woman." This was read, at the request of the committee, by Rev. A. A. Marshall, and followed by able addresses on the sub? ject by Dr. Munday, Prof. Townes and Rev. A. A. Marshall. The Association was composed of earnest workers; its de? liberations were harmouions throughout, and having finished its work adjourned. Thursday afternoon, to meet at Dorches? ter in August next. The meeting was one of the most pleasant, and all who attended it will long remember the hospitality and kindness of the Pastor and members or the Chnrch at Barker's Creek and the citizens of the community. To the Public. The communication published last week by Mr. G. N. C. Boleman, embodying cer? tificates from the School Trustees .of Fork Township, while calculated to do me injury without further explanation, in reality only amounts to an admission of the correctness of all that I haye said in regard to Mr. Boleman. I have never charged him with fraud, nor have I at any time reflected on the character or conduct of the good men who are the Trustees in Fork Township. It is a fact, though, that in the conscientious discharge of my official duty, (returning to Mr. Boleman papers that had been irreg? ularly made out,) I incurred his ill will, and while he acknowledged, in writing, that my explanation was satisfactory, his subsequent conduct proved that he was not satisfied, and it was simply by way of explaining his active opposition to me in the campaign that I stated to a few intimate friends the facts that originally elicited his displeasure. In the certificates published last week, the Trustees admit the irregular signing of papers, one signing another's name, which was clearly illegal to my mind, not according to the law laid down, and so I was also advised by recog? nized legal ability. This was all that was wrong, and is what I wanted corrected, but it seems that Mr. Boleman did not wish to do business in a regular legal way, and ho became greatly offended at me, and has never ceased to dispange my official con? duct. Mr. Boleman's auimus can be under? stood, when it is known that the facts in this matter transpired about five years ago, while he re-opens it just upon the eve of an election in such a way that I could not defend myself before the ballots were cast. I have never., while serving as School Commissioner, knowingly approved a school claim not drawn by a majority of the Board of Trustees, each signing his own name, and was not aware of the prac? tice in Fork School District until the facts were brought out by the discovery at the Bank, that the signature of Capt. Vandivcr, in the case in question, was not his own, and this discovery. would probably have been made sooner, but for the similarity in the hand-writing of Capt. Vandiver and Mr. Fant, as those who are familiar with both can attest. The practice of one Trustee-signing for another was, to some extent, prevalent when I took charge of the office ten years ago, and one of the first reforms instituted was that of requiring genuine signatures to all school orders presented before giving them my official approval. Some weeks ago I received a letter from Fork Township stating that Mr. Boleman was circulating slanderous reports concern? ing myself, to the effect that I voted for bar-rooms, and that I was unfit for School Commissioner. It was to defend myself by showing the spirit of this attack, that I gave to a few intimate friends a statement of the facts in regard to Mr. Boleman's school claims, and his subsequent opposi? tion to me. Mr. Boloman cannot deny making the statements to which the letter referred that relates .to him, for reliable men have heard him make the same state? ment. I could not have been misunder? stood in what I told my friends, and Mr. Boleman has never given any authority for what his first card charged me with doing. There is no proof that any report damaging Mr. Boleman was in circulation, and there is grave' doubt whether auy damaging report was current. But sup? pose it was, Mr. Boleman was not a can? didate. His reputation did not have to be saved before August luth. He could have saved that by a personal letter to me. I would gladly have given him privately, to be used whenever needed, any statement like my published card. But that was not what he wanted. My honest belief is, and I think I have showed it, that Mr. Bole? man's charge, ' 'that I gave currency to reports so damaging," is a campaign false? hood manufactured for a purpose. R. W. Tonn. A Card. Tv the Citizens of Anderson County: I desire thus publicly to express ray appreciation of, and sincere thanks for, your yery kind treatment toward me dur? ing the recent campaign.
