FARMERS ASSOCIATION.

Our friends in the country will bear in mind
that tomorrow is the day set apart foranoher ex-
hibition of stock, agricultural implements, and
domestic manufactures, according resolution
adopted at the annual meeting of the Farmers
Association We trust that there will be much
larger attendance than formerly and that many
are prepared TO contribute TO the interest and i'm
portance of the exhibition By having on hand their
live stock. improved implements Of husbandry, or
articles Of domestic manufacture: Unless the
farmers cvince more interest in the operations of
this society, we cannot see how the benefits in
tended by its establishment will possibly accrue 10
them. Merchants and business men around town.
If they are alive to the occasion, might afford
greater assistance than heretofore and render SER
vice to their District by pushing forward this So
ciety, "A word TO the wise is sufficient"

VISITORS FROM THE NORTH.

It being understood that party of Maryanders
and Pcnnsylvanians, now visit to this section,
would pass up TO Grcenville by special train on
Monday last, the Town Council of Anderson held
a meeting and authorized Maj. BoEsTELto extend
a cordial invitation to these gentlemen to visit our
town and accept the hospitality of its citizens,
Accordingly Maj B. proceeded TO Bel,on by the
afternoon train, but was disappointed in not meet
ing with the party of gentlemen, as they had con-
cluded to stop at Greenwood. The invitation,
nevertheless was forwarded to them, and if they
are deprived of the opportunity sought 10 be given
then of sharing The courtesy aud hosptable treat
ment of our citizens, the will must be taken for
the deed. These Marylanders and Pennsylsanians
are said to be the agents OF large class of people
desiring to emigrac to this section of country and
as such every good citizen would feel an interest
and pleasure in affordiug every facility to full
knowledge oil the condition, prospects and resources
of our District. we regret to know that their
visit will not extend TO this place.

TO THE PUBLIC.

A recent issue of the South Carolina Republican,
published in Charleston, contained the following:
"The Democratic County Commissioners Of An
derson County, have rejected the bond of Jno. r.
Cochran, as County Auditor. One Of his suretes
was Wm. Perry, gentleman worth Mt least thirty
Thousand dollars The others were good response
ble men, The reason for rejection was simply
that Cochran is b Republican. The Democratic
Commissioners may rest assured that the Demo-
cratic appointces for county officers, will not be
confirmed by the Senate until cochrans bond is
accepted.
The attention of the undersigned having been
called to the above paragraph, they would state
that they did net regard the acquisitions of the
LAW complied with, in the execution of Mr.. Coch-
rams boud-that they were not influenced in their
action by any partisan feeling, but solely by de-
sire to discharge the duty imposed upon them by
law. Admitting the sovency and strength of one
of the sureties the Act Of the Legislature requires
"not less than two nor more than twelve sureies, >
which certainly implies two surctics OF means 1t
is generally known to this community that two of
the names TO the bond add no strength, one having
been sold out by the Revenue Collector for taxes,
leaving n balance unpaid. The other, so far as
is known to this Board, is young man of good
character, but without means.
The threat issued by the Republican will not
be likely to force this Board into approving bonds,
unless the rcqurmcnls of the law are fulfilled
