IlEe %Ieiut ani er W1NNSIORO, S. C. > atu~vay, Ji-.l 7, 1877. J NO. S. LIS YNOT.DS, Assoc into Fiktor. orXJi fiher third tilm, reports are rif that lihe President's eainet, will ?) n break up. As yel, however, it has nut )roken worth a cont. 'Tie .'cV?"s and Co(uri'r urges the whites to revive the custom ofce le bratiig the Fourth of .July. Not while the thermometer is high up in the nineties, neighbor. Hun. Jero Black h:ts an article in the Norh American Review, in which 'he reviows tho -history and 'conduct of the Electoral Commis sion. 'The hotoriousEiglit vill not .fool puffed up after reading it. Offtial'roturns of the 'Charleston olection 'have been received. Col. B. H.'Rutledge heads the list with 8,146 votes, -Col. It. B. Rhitt res coivel 8'145, and Messrs. '1. F. Fiecen and G. Lamb -Buist 8,141 votes each. The lowest on the list, B. O'Neil, Esq., received 8,009. There wore 240 ballots cast in the whole county for Republicans. Democratic gain about twelvo thou sand votes. What will the majority -be in the Stato at the next election ? The Russians have crossed 'the Danibo in force, and are pressing to the Balkan Mountains. Both armies lack generalship. A sensational dis patch hia been received that Eng, land is preparing to assist Turkey " and prevenft'Muscovite occupation of Constantinople. It is said that John Bull, on short notice, can put 150,000 nen in the field, while 300,000 Mahormnedan Sepoys can be brought from India to operato in Asiatic Turkoy. Such a course Ihight result in the discomfiituro of Russia ; but at preset Turkey has small chances of escaping :a sevuo drubbing. The Fence Law. There is danger that in the pros ont politicaTl comllications in this county, the important question of fencing will be -overlooked. The county commissionors have appoint ed the 15th of August as the day for holding the election in any towns~hips~ that desire it. As yet bult a1 few have complied with the tho . l tod cf .eerin a vote.. SceatyVive taxpayersi' 8ro nieeded on t he pet it ion. T1here should be4 a pet ition) for each towvnshiip. The petition it4elf mea~ns noth:ing. Par ties whlo sign it are fr~ee to) o, 'io the chanUge. It is but just inl 'he onemies of a change to give the ad vocates an opportunity of voting on the quesCtionl. Th'Ie quest ion ha~s not been agitated in Fairhidd to any extent, and it is ditlicult to catch tho true sentiment 'of the peoplo14. In different town. ships dife'rent viewvs are expressed. We would be gWad to see the law -ohanged for the entire county. While a fewv individuals own stock, it is nevertheless true that, by long odds, the preponderating industry is agriculture, and this industry should be -'ostered and encouraged. It is absurd to incur .thousands of - dollars of expense for the sake of two or three hungry stors or goats belonging to a neighbor. Much better to make him keep them in his pasture. It has been estima ted that by the present law, :it costs two hundred dollars a year at least for simply-.fhe repairs of fencimig .on a . thousand acres of land. The ex.. 'pense avoided by changing the law .would'be quite a help to the farmor. So numny arguments exist in favor c of the proposed change, they cannot :all be mentioned hero. At -someo future time they will be developed. .11n the mean time het .the potitions Wbo presented. Developments sin a recent Now \York smuggling case proved on in-. vestigation to be meost alarming. .Ita believed that it is one of the most gigantic frauds on record. One man makes an affidavi& to having smuiggled over sixty barrels of silks which will amount to aboiut $800, nn0. Communication.

Elkin, as ho eviden tly re fers to ime as having uude a st at a mont before the Execntive Com. imittee to the eff'ect that he had been removed from that Comxmiiitto by the Jenkinsvillo Township Club. I deny having made any such state mcnt. I simply stated that by tihe request of the preshdent of the Jenikinsvillo Club, for reasons which somed to him to be good and su-li cient and which I iam prepaLed to furnish if desired, I pr esented iy claims to act as a member of the Co. mittee until int expression of opiu. ion concerning Mr. Elkin could be had from the township club. The proiderit of the Jenkinsv'lle Club in formed me on the 25th of June tha t a meeting of the Exeentive Comunititee was to be lhoil on thce 0 Lih. There was consequienitly no0 timLe( to cail a meeting of the Club.

Mr. Elkin afterwards requested the club~ to approve his course in acting on the committee before being elected. T he vote was by acclamation and Mr. Elkin's pre vious action was alpprovedl. He was after that regarded by the township club as its Executive Committee :ean. This was the only vote taken by the club, to my knoweldge, concerning Mr. Elkins s status in the Executive Committee.
