FARMERS ASSOCIATION OF ANDERSON Dis
TRICT

Felloao Citizens: We see pressing necessity for
an Association of the farmers of this District.
There are many interests in this section Of the
country that alono can be controlled by the farm
ers. 1t is now we'll understood that the present
supply of labor is not profitable, and 1t IS equally
we'll understood that it will not become profitable
willie it is controlled by the present system.
What, then, is to bo done to better the present
system of labor, and make the farming interest
more profitable in the future? Aro the farmers
not capacitated 10 si.a the proper answer to thls'
and all other questions that affect tho farming IN
tercst Of the country? We say go, without the
fear Of contradiction. And, in order that we may
havc concerted and uniform plan throughout tho
entire Dictriet, VIC ask that the farmers Of this
District resolve themselves into an association,
and adopt such measures as may be deemed neces-
sary to improve the farming interest of the Dis
trict. If tie freedmen are to bo employed by our
farmers, and receive support and protection ct
their hands, they should be required, without the
slightest deviation, to conform to the rules and
regulations adopted by the Association If any
should ask, can this be done so as to benefit the
farming interest ? We answer it can, without
doubt, provided you organize and edopt rules and
regulations for tho Association, eEd then observe
them without deviation. In this way each farmer
Of the District will protect every ether farmer, and
by every other farmer be protected. Such an
effort on the part Of our farmers would result in
good to every citizen of tie District Of whatever
caste or color. While the regulating Of the labor
of The District s Of The utmost importance to the
farming interest, it is by no means the only good
that is to be cGectod by such an Association. The
experiments OF each and every farmer of our Dis
triet may DO obtained free Of charge, and in this
way the present system Of the farmers would be
remodeled into new and bcttor system. Under
such an organization, white labor could be intro
duced into our District with more confidence than
in any other way, it would be easy for the farm
ers to regulate, 80 that no farmer or person tex
cept Re,ls) could interfere with your sborcr after
lie had been imported into ho District at your ez-
pcnsa. Aud If this be done, we arc satisfied that
two hundred families of white laborers might be
introduced into tho District for our next crop.
This Association might soon frd itself in condition
to form itself into joint stock company, Gnd rear
fine factory in their nidst 20 manufacture all Lo
material thOy produce, snd save themselves, in
this way, the untold fortunes that have been taken
from US, anu placed into the hands of others. Ii
the farmers ready for this Association, let them
speak, and speak 10 Get. ~

TEE aEs1euAT1oN oF GEH. GRANT.

This subject is already being discussed among
newspapers and politicians, and it is stated that
Gen. GRANT will resign about the ist Of November
When Gen. MCCLELLAN was candidate for Presi-
don't in 1864, he rendered his resignation on the
day of election. Says hoI I-va.ional La:c'hgeHccr:
"The point of danger is not in fuct that General
Grant holds n high commission and enjoys wide
distinction as soldier, but that ho is at the head
of fifty thouSanl men without superior in COM
mand, save President who is on trial before
body having the power TO remove him no success
sor being prescribed for the Chief Magistraoy over
the sword but an unpopular Senator, sincerely be-
leved by large proportion of unquesiOnably pa
tion. These circumstances, peculiarly operative
on the position of General Grant afford him but
ono method Of relieving that apprehension, which
will prow with reflection, in the sound mind of the
country. will he resign his Office Of General aftor
accepting the nomination at Chicago?"

OUTRAGE UPON cITIzEEs.

Several citizens Of Hamburg woro recently ar
rested for refusing 10 allow the negroos and carpet
baggers to occupy the church in that town. for the
purpose of holding radical meeting. The Angus
Ia Csron,ce and Seai;e learns the following partic-
ulars of this unwarrantab!o proceeding against
private individuals Tie fellow Ars1M will bo
remembered by our readers, as we had occasion to
yentilatc his character some time ago:
From conversation with one Of the gentlemen
arrested in Iiambarg We learn that on tho arrival
of the party in Aiken they were set to work clcan-
ing out stables and doing other merial service {;
this, too, before any examination was had into the
character of the charges of which they were accus-
ed. After working nearly allday tho commandsnt
Of Tho rost OF Aiken released these citizens on
promise Of giving bail 10 stand their trial whenever
the ccse was brought up.
The citizens il. question were arrest ell ct the in
stance of carpet-bagger named Arnm, who re-
sides in Inc ncghborhocd Of Hamburg. This
individual induced several "cgroes 10 make afhGa-
Wis that the citizens CT Hamburg who were arrest
ed attempted 10 mob and incite riot against them,
for simply refusing to give their consent to this
carpet -bagger hrnim, and the negroes to hold one
of their midnight orgies in church.
This constituted the whole offence; and yet, at
the instance of en- irresponsible character, and
some equally worthless and irresponsible negroes,
this General Canhy arrests and puts to hard labor
six respectable citizens of the State, which is now
insultcd and oppressed by his arbitrary acts and
unbridled license
