Troublo in Georgia. J^rom ,reports given in the Augus ta papers, it seeins that a reign of Aercor.ejcisle in a portion of Baldwin and .Iiaucoek Counties, Ga., caused l>y a gang of lawless men, Btyling themselves "regulators." Dwellings, gin houses, provisions and other val uable property have been destroyed by these men; negroes have been whipped, and lives taken in the mo?.i brutal and savage manner; officers of .thedaw have beeil defied and justice prostituted to subserve the vengeance of a few despeiatc characters; and as a consequence of this terrorism the particular section of country where it prevails has been abandoned by the citizens to protect their lives, nor ,cnn they be induced to return unless a sufficient force is furnished to insure protection. It is understood that a thorough investigation of the trouble has been made, and every means will .be employed by the authorities to re store the section to peace and order. The Governor has determined to ar rest the band if it takes a regiment of soldiers ; and with a purpose to re sist the authorities the gang have for tified themselves in an almost impen etrable swnmp am? bid defiance to sheriff and constables, The causes which provoked these men to such a lawless course of conduct must be great, or the men themselves, losing all the restraints of society, have be come desperate in purpose and mean to lead lives of crime regardless of ftiie consequences. For the sake of ,the peace and order of society and the prosperity of the countr)*, it is a matter of interest to every' one that the partieu lie arrested and mado toJ .antler tho full vengeance of the law they have violated. A United Parly. The present experience through .which the Democrats of Charleston arc passiug, and the troubles incident to the split in the party of New York, remind the citizens of Orangcburg, who are looking on not as indifferent spectators, that no good can come out of a divided parly. The folly of Mich a course becomes more apparent in those states and counties where elections arc close, and resolves it ijolf into a crime in all localities where the Radicals are in the majori ty. In Orangcburg County our po litical opponents are not only in tho majority, but their leaders arc influ ential men among the colored people. .Some of them still linger in office .even though the Democratic party .control the government, and they .will be slow to give up their seeming .birth-right without a struggle. It is .oasier to live off the pickings of a fat ofllco than by the swoat of ones face, und these gentlemen don'!, mean to try it unless forced to do so. Schemes ure being concocted and plang laid by which theso offices might be re tained for themselves and others if possible obtained for their friendo. We may expect, therefore, to have stubborn opposition during the next campaign, and if wc get them out at all wc must be united and vole to-j getker. Independence in politics out side of party organization is a cheat and a fraud. A united party in JLhesc days can only be independent. Surrender of Cornwallis. At a recent meeting of the Gover nors of the thirteen original colonies J.o'.d in Independence Hall, Philadel phia, it was resolved to have such a celebration of tho centennial of this occasion as shall be befitting its his torical importance and the greatness of the American States. Nine Gov ernors were present, including Gov. Simpson of South Carolina, and each spoke in the highest terms of the le ception and welcome they had receiv ed wjiich gave birth to the hope that |his meeting would exercise a power ful influence in bringing about unity of feeling and sentiment between the North and South. This meeting can not fail to call up its parallel qeea BBBB5B sion when, in 18(!b* at the National1 Convention held in the satno city, South- Carolina walked arm in arm with Massachusetts, and thus laid the foundation for hopes that have not yet found their realization m fact. Will it require another centennial of the Yoiklotvn surrender for the seed of good feeling sown to-day lo "ma nure its expected fruit? When the harvest time comes then we will have emerged from the conflict ol the "Lost C use," fo g?lten the mem ories of the past *tnd taken up the energies, the .social principles and ihe political doctrines of the new age. Our Annual Fair. The lime of holding our regular Fair is now at hand, and wo tafca the liberty of calling the attention of our reads! 8 to it, and of urging upon our whole people the imp ?rlanee of sus taining an institution which has done so much to further the agricultutal in terests of our County, and which has contributed very largely to the social enjoyment and improvement of all who attend. It is ccrtaiuly a very small matter for every formal* and farmer's wife to bring something to help out the exhibition, to say noth ing of I lie chance of taking a premium. A great many little things can make a very large show, and we should all contribute our mite to make the Fair a grand success. Taken altogether it has been admirably managed, and if there has been some dissatisfaction at the awarding of premiums, it should be remembered that nothing of hu man origin can be perfect, and that as far as possible tho managers of t he Fair desire that all shall have jus tice. Thou let everybody turn out and show that it does not need the presence of a Governor to make us at tend our Fair. Go the first day for the exhibition, the secone to sec the crowd, and the third to hear the premium list read out. The Ohio Reverse. The Neioa and Courier thus moral izes on the result of the Ohio election, and thinks that the Republican boom may even roach South Carolina, aud warns her citizens to be on the alert: "The Republican party clings to the sectional issue. Upon that issue mainly, it has swept Ohio ; and upon that issue, solely, it hopes to carry New York. It is certain that it will make every effort to perpetuate, at any cost, the political unrest at the South at least until after the Presiden tial campaign of 1880. South Caro lina, we may be sure, will become not the least important battle ground of Republicanism in the South. The Stalwarts insist that this is a Repub lican State ; they mean to make it so if they can ; and it will require cease less vigilance, unflagging work and, above all, adsolute unity on the part of the Sourh Carolina Democracy, to thwart the combination of influences that will be enlisted for their over throw. - if * ? tm - John Quincy Adams. At the late convention of tho Dem ocratic party of Massachusetts this gentleman received tho nomination for Governor, and in his letter of ac ceptance recognizes the impossibility of his election, lie only accepts the position because it is necessary, in these times of political corruption, that one, representing the ancient principles of the party, should bear the standard through the approach ing campaign in a State where there is such a departure from tho princi ples that controlled the fathers. Mr. John Quincy Adams is tho grandson of President John Q. Adams, and none is better suited to lead the for lorn hope than he. Tilden's Chance. In regard to the Presidential nom inations, the irrepressible and incom prehensible Tlntrlow Weed is quoted as having said to a recent interviewer : "There are two facts well established : one is, that. Tilden will not '?o a pow erful candidate. 1( Cornell is elected Tilden will fail to get even the votes of his one stale ; aud if Robinson is rcclcclcd, his chances in the Dem ocratic Convention would not be mat erially improved. The fact is, Til den,s name docs not appear on the slate ; he has been ciphered out." Tin: Ralliraore American enter tains hopes of a revival in tho Repud lican party in the South. It says: "Recent trustworthy advices from South Carolina and Texas report se rious dissensions among the Demo crats of both states that may prove a powerful force for party disintegra tion. In Texas there is every pros poet that two independents pledged not to act with the Democrats, will bj elected to the next Congress, and in Soutli Carolina there seems to he no doubt that tho Republicans will effect a perfect organization during the coming year." Fault-Finding at tho Fair. The following essay was road to the Chcmung Valley Grange, October 2d, 1879 : "Those of you who at tended our late county fair every day as exhibitors and competitors for pre mium?, often, yes very often, heard tho words from tho lips of visitors, "J have better than that at home.'* I >vus si'ting in one of the booths watching and listening to the rematk* ftom those who visited and inspected tho different articles on exhibition until at last patience was lost. A lady came in and looked at the differ ent articles, and then expressing her scorn, said : 'Why I havo got bet ter at home.' I sprang to my feet out of patience, and exclaimed : 'Why didn't yon bring them, mad am? Do you think it pleasant for these exhibitors to bring their articles here ami spend a week's time in watching and taking care of them, run the risk of their being spoiled, damaged or stolen, and then to bo obliged to listen over and over again to the words you have uttered so scornfully?'I have got belter at home ?' There is a class of people, and 1 nm sorry to say they constitute quite a large number, who make it a prac tice to attend the fairs nnd pass through the different departments finding fault with everything. And the disease is contagious, for Mr. A. will say to his neighbor, 'just look at those apples, you havo great deal finer specimens in your orchard.' Then this neighbor will go and find Mr. C. and show him those apples, and say, 'Why, what did they tiring those apples here for? I wonder if he expects to get a premium on them ; why I havo great deal larger applcB at home in my orchard.' Then Mr. C. remembers that he has a very fine yoke of oxen at home. So he goes and looks at the oxen and tells his neighbor what poor looking oxen they are, and winds up by telling what a nice yoke he has at home. So I claim that this fault-finding dis ease at our fairs is very contagious. It is not only contagious, but it is un pleasant and discouraging to those who do exhibit; and it is injurious, too, for these very same people will go home hugging the delusion that their products at home are a little 1 better than those at the fair. Nino times out of ten they are deceiving themselves, for wo cannot decide un til wc bring our products together and compare them with those of our neighbors. This is the only true test. 1 inquired of a good many of my friends what they were exhibiting, and they answered 'nothing.' The" in a low tone, and confidentially, they would tell mo their grievance, how one year and another they brought such and such things to the fair and failed to get a premium. The judges were all wrong, they gave premiums to the men who had the most inferior articles, and since that time my friends had censed to exhibit at the fairs. To one farmer who talked in this way I said : 'I want you to look at this exhibition of potatoes, is it not vciy fine? Here arc, say, fifteen en tries, now only two of these can get a premium. Would it be right for the other thirteen exhibitors to get offended and make the foolish resolu tion never to bring anything to the fair again?' Hero, in every department, you will find a great many different arti cles, for which no premiums are offer ed. They are simply brought here to fill up the departments, and to mako the fair pleasant and attractive to visitors. Another well-to-do farmer said it was nothing but a 'ring,' a regular 'machine,' and unless a man was in tho 'ring' he need not look for any premiums. I tried to convince this man that he was prejudiced against the society. I told him that I had just received | the first premium in a class where the number of tho entries and the excellence of the exhibits had never been equaled in the past history of the Society, and that I was quite sure that I did not belong to any 'ring' or 'machine' I do not say that the management is perfect?neither does the Society claim that it is in all its work. Let us get out of this narrow rut of selfishness and help tho Socie ty on by our earnest efforts until it shall come nearer perfection in its workings. 11, :z said that our fairs do not equal those of many of our neighbor ing counties. Who is to blame? Is it the Society? No, the farmers of this county, this grange, yes, every grange in the county. This grange and each one of tho othor granges of this county are able to offer a list of special premiums at our fairs, that would call out an exhibition that would rival our State fairs. There is another thing, while I am criticising that I would say a word about, and that is in reference to far mer's eons and daughters exhibiting at our fairs. While in conversation with a lady, who visited both of the great fairs held in Minneapolis and St, l'nul, last year, she said one ol their greatest attractions was a youth's or children's department. Thc80 departments were filled with articles cither grown or made exclu sively by children. Now 1 say, for one, let us have n children's depart ment at our fairs. There Is one other department in which the ladies are very much iutci'7 cstcd ; the ono Jn which fancy work and domestic manufactures are dis played, which sadly needs its premi urn list' extended. It is all well onough to give a premium for the [best bed-quilt exhibited, but tho la jdies say thej want a chance to com ! pete for something besides bod-quilts. Several ladies signified their willing ness to give special premiums in tins department. J "Would suggest also, that a committee of young ladies be appointed " by the Society, another year, to arrange the articles in this department. A*" great deal of skill and taste could be displayed in this way, which would add largely to the attractiveness of the exhibition. Let 119 corantencc now, planning and working for the next fair, and when it does come, we will have an exhibition for variety and excellence that cannot be excelled by any of our si3tcr counties. Fletciikh Carr. The County Fair. Editor Oraiigeburg Democrat; The Agricultural Fair of our coun ty is coining close on hand, and I have made it my business to enquire of its managers, the probabilities of its success. The, Board of Directors are greatly encouraged by reports from all parts of the county, and ful ly expect to have a heavy exhibition and full attendance. Besides, this information, I ' have been assured from different parts of the county that the people are taking the right spirit to make it a success. From the preparations, I see the Hoard of Directors arc making every conccivn ble effort lo give satisfaction to all worthy contestants. They have promised to pay the premiums in silver coin, so that those Tho win can purchase if they choose, some article as a premium of the So ciety. From what I hear from differ ent parts of Uie county, (if the weather be go\d), I expect the grounds lo bpjjfepwdcd each day. From inquiries, I find that the amuse ments each day will be interesting and novel, and the exhibition so va ried aud full that it will take at least three days to sec all?one to enjoy the pleasures and amusements of the occasion ; one to examine tho improve ments- and ingenuity of our people ; and one to enjoy the social pleasures of each other, and see the curiosities of nature. I know of several remark able natural curiosities that will alone be worth coming to sec. Then the programme of the Tournament, the Judges decked up in a fine carriage, accompanied by the King and Herald of the occasion, and a fine band of music followed by fifteen or tweuty knights each in their varied costumes, and escorted by Captain Hoyden's company of Light Dragoons, to the gionnd, there to compete and vie with each other to crown the Queen of Beaut}'. Who is it (then) that would not leave off his daily voca tions to recreate a few days with his people and enjoj' the pleasures of life? Who is it that would not send his sons and daughters and thus unite his efforts with others to make everything around them pleasant and interesting. Tho refreshment room, I under stand, will be more commodious and convenient than usual; the tables will groan under pigs, turkeys, hams and other good things, and that too, to be served by tho winning ones?the ladies. Now in behalf of the Board of Di rectors ami of tho efforts of tho Agri cultural Society generally, I appeal to tho fanners of the county to send up contributions, and come with their families?yes, tho last ono of them? and patronize the Fair. You cannot spend your money more profitably. Again, I appeal lo tho citizens of all other professions, especially the mer chants and traders of our county, who fatten and reap their very cxist cuco from tho hard earning of the farmer, to palronizo tho Fair. Re lease your employees, pay thoir way, and say go and help those that help us. Why is it that the streets of our town are sutdi thoroughfares at this season of Ihe year? Because it is the farmer moving his produce to enrich your pockets ; yes, and often sacrifice Iiis hard earnings to maintain Iiis credit with the merchant. Who then, in the name of common sense, can pocket his profits without patronizing iho fanner's efforts. We hear of new county fairs to be held in various parts of our State, and as Orangeburg County has rank ed high in the past among them in that respect, let her still hold this honoicd position for all time to come. A Friend to Agriculture. October 21st, 1879. A Wonderful Discovery?A Panacea for Cotton Mania. Editor Oranyeburg Democrat.: I am due you one more letter on Oals, but you, in your editorial, gave us such admirable advice on this sub ject, that I thought] I would give you a few suggestions under the abovo heading, Cotton Mania. This disease prevails to an alarming extent among the cotton planters of Orange burg County. It is deep seated, very difficult to eradicate. I need not to diagnose. As you pass along the highways symptoms on the right and lett prove that cotton is on the brain. In my first letter 1 showed that farm ers were in the last stages of the dis ease. In this, I propose a remedy, palliative if not curative. I would class tins disease among the self-lim iting diseases. It will run its course. To convince a, farmer that it is more profitable to plant oats on that rich lot or productive field is impossible. Cotton must grow there, it is good for ten bales, 810 per bale. Wc know wc can't remove these ten bales from your brain, it is too cumbrous, we wish to add 400 bushels of oats more, if your cranium can toat it. Sow one and a half bushels of red rust proof oats per acre, after having applied twenty bushels of cotton seed mixed with two hundred pounds of acid or four hundred pounds of ash element per acre, as a fertilizer. This will secure you forty or fifty bushels of oats per acre. Leaving the land in good heart with a little 'soluablo manure to make you your ten bales of cotton. Now, brother farmers, if you think your brain will admit of more weight we would add peas at the last plowing of cotton. We have demonstrated this fact, the present year, a good crop of cotton and peas on the same acres. J. C. H. will be at the County Fair, happy to meet his friends and discuss the present subject in detail. Very res pectfully, J. C. H. The Charlotte Observer repotts that a coal-black negro named Robert Johnston, who has been living with Mr. Isaac Sncel, providence town ship, Mecklenburg county, run olf on Monday night of last week, taking with him a little daughter of Mr. Sneel, aged 13 years. It is thaught that Johnston crossed over into South Carolina. IS ot ice.
