on Colonel Renwick's place, some
ten miles from the court house, in
this DISTRICT Neooberry Herald.
The Fairfild Herald, of July Ii,
says:
We understand that since the |
white Company was formed, and
being the first in the field, was ae
cepted and then rejected by Gov.
Scott, there has been great activi-
ty among the colored population
in raising other companies for
Fairfield. Accordingto Governor
SCOTS tactics, he prefers having
colored troops to white; hence the
rejection of the whites. 1t proves
very conclusively that he intends
to use them, if they consent to be
used, as capital in the coming
eampaign-or in other words, as
safety-valves for the election of
thieves, plunderers and robbers.
In the Horny News we find the
genealogy of Whittemore
He is the grandchild of Con
gress; for Congress begat negro
suffrage, and negro suffrage begat
Whittemore.
A transaction of the Land Com
mission has been unearthed in
Lancaster, by which the tax pay
ers of that district have been de-
liberately swindled out of $4,000.
The State Senator from Chester
field, Radical of course, seems to
have been a prominent manager
in this swindle.
B. F. Whittemore has been
nominated for reelection to Con
gress oy the Radicals of Marlboro.
The Winnsboro News predicts
that in ten years the Southern
whites, unless the negroes them
selves prevent it, will champion
negro suffrage as giving them
power in the Union, against a
powerful anti-negro party at the
North.
MThe Union Times says a lady of
that county, week or two ago,
presented her liege lord with a
trio of responsibilities, or in other
words, the poor woman had three
babies at one time.
The Columbia Phoenix says
Ground has been broken in
Wayne street, by the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta Railroad,
for the purpose of connecting with
the Greenville Railroad. The
Wilmington, Columbia and Au-
gusta Railroad will soon follow
suit, when it is contemplated to
erect vast freight depot, and,
we presume, a passenger depot,
also.
The County Auditor of Fairfield
advertises that the county Treas
urer will sell forty-fiye thousand
acres of land in that county, for
taxes, penalties and assessment.
A result of Radical rule!
The officers to be voted for at
the next general election in this

School Commissioners, Judges OF
Probate, and County Commits
Sioners.
The juries in Laurens have
adopted the scaling process on all
old debts, and debts contracted

satisfaction, and is founded in
equity and justice.
The Columbia Phoenix says thai
arms and ammunition are still be
ing distributed over the State
10000 rounds OF fixed ammunition
have recently been sent to Rocb
Hill, by order of Gov. Scott
Trouble ahead.
We clip the following item from
the Chester Reporter:
PACK UP.-More than one col
cred man was heard to say on tn,
4th nlt., that in ten years from
thisstime there would not be {
white person in this State, that
the State belonged to the coloret
people, and that they intended t.
drive the whites out. No excep
ton was made in favor of carpet
baggers, scalawags or whangdoo
dies. Every body has fair motto,
now, and plenty of time to pacl
upin.
Maj. w. I. Gary, of Edgefeld
