Dockets. No business OF Importance was trans

UNITED STATES CoURT-Hon. GEO. 8. BRYAN

breadth Of the land, the wall has gone 1ortn'
'swater, water, everywhere, and nothing else 70
drink" Variety is tho spice Of life, aud an enforc
ed temperance code can never be made binding,
beside, the natural procliyity OF man TO eVade
oppressive laws will prevent the order from being
obeyed implicitly. We learn that, notwithstand-
ing the fine imposed by.Counci for the violation
Of Order No. 50, they will relax somewhat OF tner
severity and will grant licenses to inn-keepers. AS
there are numbers in the city who come unaer
this category, the announcement will be received
with pleasure, not only by them but by the numer-
ous sufferers who have been deprived OF their daily
beverages, and who trust that the action OF Coun-
Gil win not be long delayed.
CHARLESTON LADY IN AHpERsoN.-The many
friends Of Miss BATES will be pleased to learn that
her lectures in the country have been decided
success, and that her known talents have induced
numbers TO attend and contribute their mite to the
cause Of charity. Tho Anderson hrteatgencer says:
sThe citizens of this village will be delighted to
learn that Miss BATES, Of Charleston, will give
one OF her attractive readings in tho Court House.
on tomorrow Thursdly) evening, at o'clock.
The subject esEight Days in Scotland, will prove
interesting to the public generally, and we are
confident that the accomplished lady will find her
efforts appreciated on this occasion. Her attain
ments and vast research into the dusty tones of
the past, and personal observation while on re-
cent visit to Scotland will render description OF
that country at once graphic. entertaining and in
structiye. Besides the proceeds are to be do
mated for the beneft Of tho poor in Anderson, and
we presume that this charitable disposition will
augment the receipts Of tho evening""
TIE FAR.-The absence Of any other attraction
last night proved that the fair was not forgotten
and at an early hour the floor was crowded with
gay promenaders. Tho band was stationed on
the outside piazza, and the sound Of tho music
proved q potent inducement for many to pay q
visit to the penetraha-once inside, the final step
was taken and there was no retracing it. As Q
consequence OF this rush Of visitors many wares
were sold, and the exchequer Of the church made
somewhat heavier. It would be useless to refer to
tho appearance of the booths; for 30 much taste
was displayed in furnishing and decorating them
that no comparison could be drawn. They were
each of them chef fouures, and reflected tho great
est credit on the fair constructors. The amuse-
ments of the Fair were the same as in the past few
nights, with the exception that the fairy forms,
fitted across tho hall more frequently, and the
demand for q purchase was reiterated oftener
than before. It is well known that the object OF
this Fair is to repair st. Stephens Church, and all
who wish to give their. mite to good cause, and
at the same time enjoy themselves, should not
neglect to pay st. Stephens Fair visit.
DnLoN's UNIVERSAL CorroN TH.-Attention OF
planters, factors, and all others who are interest
ed in packing and baling, is resquested to the
advertisement Of Mr. WM. ROACH, which appears in
another part Of our paper in reference 10 valu-
able band and tic for cotton bales. This useful
invention, which gives good promise Of suppressed
ing the old practice Of baling with rope, was
patented by Mr.. RoBT. DILLON, of New York, in
February last, and from its striking convenience
and usefulness, is coming into rapid notice. 1t
possesses the following advantages: sthe hoop
bears evenly across its whole width, and
across its entire breadth, cannot be put on
wrong, and does not require one-fourth OF
an inch slack to admit OF inserting the
pin. The universal tie" weighs no more than
the usual rope-planters can avoid the frequent
loss Of cotton from broken bales, heavy mendins
bills, &c. The inventor Of the "tie" has had thir-
ty.six years practical experience in mending,
packing baling and compressing cotton, both in
New York and the South, and the cite" is the re-
suit of his observation and experience. The nu-
merous advantages this improvement is saidto
possess renders it necessary that our cotton grow
ers should give it an early trial. The agent MIR.
WIN. ROACH, Of our city, will afford every necessary
information to parties who may be desirous Of try
ing this valuable improvement.
