Governor Hampton has appointed the following-named gentlemen commissioners of election for Fair field county : T. W. Woodward, F. Gerig, Democrats, and David Ashford, Republican. THE COLORED DEMORATS.-ThG following resolutions, unanimously adoptod by ti D.,.ncratic County Exocutive Committoo at its last meeting, explain themselves : Resolved, That we doom it of great importance to have enrolled in the Democratic organization all those colored persons who proved themselves true to the party in the campaign of 1876. Resoloer, That we recommend the reception into the Democratic clubs, with all the rights of member ship, of all those colored persons who voted the Democratic ticket at the general election in 1876. MEETING OF TIE DEMOORATIc CLUD. -An adjourud meeting of the Democratic Club of this township will be hold on Monday evening the 9th instant. Pors->ns desirous of joining the club unst be on hand to join that night, if they wish to participate in the primaries. The constitution provides that none but regularly enrolled Democrats can vote at the primaries, and the Winnsboro club will consider an amendment on Monday night re quiring fifteen days' membership to entitle one to vote. It is of great importance to every individual and to the party at large that every person in smpathy with the Demo cratie party should have a voice in the nominations. This can be dlone in only one way, by joining the club. We hope for a .full atton dance. HYMENEAL.-TIe Associate Re formed Presbyterian church was filled to overflowing on Wednesday evening, the gathering being to witness the wvedding ceremony ol Mr. W. A. Beaty, son of Capt. James .Beaty, and Miss Annie H. Mc.feaster, daughter of George H. McM-aster, Esq. The pulpit, tastefully deco~ rated with flowers and evergreens, was occupied by Rev. J. M. Todd, pastor of the church, and Rev. Dr. 3. I. Bonner, of Due West. At the appointed hour, the bridal party on, tered, the attendants being as fol lows : Mr. J. M. Beaty with Miss Ella Elliott ; Mr. H. B. MeMas ter with Miss Mattie Boaty;i Mr. R. C. Gooding with Miss Hattie .Walker ; Mr'. J. N. Center with Miss Belle G.ooding ; Mr. T. H. Kotchin with Miss Kittie Rion ; Mr. W. T. Crawford with Miss Sallie McMaster ; Mr. T. K. Elliott with Miss Chellie McMaster ; Mas ter Fitz McMaster with Miss Sallie MeMaster. The marriage ceremony was performed by Itev. Mr. Todd, assisted by Rev. Dr. Banner, after which the assemblage dispersed, and the bridal party, with invited guests, repaired to the residence of the bride's father, where the even ing was spent in pleasant unIon. We tender to th~e young couple our best wishes foi- their happiness through life. THE EXAMINATIONS.-The exami nations for teachers in Fairfield will be held some time in October. The questions for each grade will be different, and an applicant must choose the grade for which to apply. As the questions are sent from Columbia it will be necessary to have but one day for examina tions in each grade. After the questions have once been made public they cannot he used again, and a new set will not be prepared before the lapse of months. Last spring the County Board conducted examinations on seven or eight different occasions. The present rule prevents this. And the Board are only required to meet twice a year. Applicants must therefore appear punctually on the day ap pointed, or lose their opportunity. Notice of the time and place will be given. Another thing : quite a number of applicants made the plea last spring that they had made no preparation. This excuse will not avail now. All have had notice of yearly examinations, and they are expected to prepare for thoem. No person who will not prepare for examinations should be suffered to teach. The examinations will be conducted in reading, writing, spelling, arithimetic, geography, history and grammar. Algebra will not be required this year. Any good text book on the subject will do for preparation, but applicants are advised to procure the books prescribed by the State Board. The Salaries of Public Offlcors. Misapprehension seems to exist in the minds of many concerning the salaries of public oflicers, the work of the Legislature in remorse lessly cutting down the enormous rates fixed by the Radicals not being generally appreciated. Pub lic officials earn their salaries pretty fully, and some are underpaid. From an examination of the law in some cases and inquiry in otherE we estimate the salaries of thc officers in Fairfield as follows: The sheriff and clerk of court, from fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars each. Their fees and costa have been greatly reduced and their pay can be only .guessed at. On< item in the clerk's office is that of liens, which constituted the chiol surce of emolumnent. Instead ol charging a dollar and a half foi recording each, he now gets fifteeu cents for; entering it. The shorifi loses by the late act a number 0: sales wvhich he formerly made. The auditor gets seven hundred dollars and is allowed four hundrei for clerk hire. The treasurer re ceives commissions not to exceesJ eight hundred dollars, is allowed no clerk, and is entitled to som( costs on executions, which, by the way, are generally on nulla bon returns. The judge of probat< reeives about six hundred dollari a year in fees and costs. Th< county commissioners are limnitei to two dollars a day for seventa days' work, a maximum of one hun dred and forty dollars. The schoo commissioner and tihe trial justicei fare worst of all. The latter living in the country are not allowed t< exceed a hundred dollars a .year and many fall below, while th< costs of those living in towns hav< been so reduced as to amount to a very few hundred. We knowv o: two causes lasting several hours each, for hearing which the trial justice received only twenty-five cents each. This is sta'rvatiot wages. The school commissionei used to get a thousand dollars s year. He is now allowed pay for not more than two hundred days at not more than three dollars s day, and he is compelled to mak< out an itemized account of his ser vices, sworn to as correct, and then it rests with the two county ex. aminers an~d the auditor to approve or disapprove the account, or te reduce the per diem if they deem the work on any day not worth three dollars. .The board limited the work of the present school commissioner to one hundred and twenty offiee'days and thirty days for visiting the country- schools, a maximum of four hundred and fift dollars, with a redluction if all the days are not occupied in the desig. natod work. It will be seei that the amount of the school commission, or's salary rests with the county board. Those figures show that the officials are not getting bloated 'with pap, and when the Legislaturo propitiates the dear people by re ducing its own pay, South Carolina may boast of one of the cheapost governments in the United Statos.
