J Result of the State Election.

The State Board of Canvassers are at work
TO ascertain the result of the election held on
the 10Th of last month, and it may reasonably
be expected that sometime before Christmas we
will know the exact result of the election for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor. So much
for the general election law enacted by our last
Legislature Enough is known, however, to
place Gov. SCOTS majority in the neighborhood
of $4,000.
The Republicans have triumphed in every
Congressional District, and South Carolina will
be represented in the Forty Second Congress by
Messrs Rainey, DeLarge, Elliott and Wallace,
the three first-named colored men. We be-
lieve it is an improvement upon the delegation
sent to the present Congress-Whittemore,
Bowen and Hoge.

turns Of saleday in November, 1869, shows a
large decrease in the price of real estate.
Lands then brought $s, SO, s12 and SIS per

may be set down as a fixed fact that real estate
is one hundred per cent. lower than one year
ago, if we take the public sales as criterion.

MR. EDITOR: take pleasure in announcing
that the Masonic Fair, which we promised from
time 10 time should be a grand affair, has cul-
minated in complete success. For three days
and four successive nights, Anderson was en-
livened by crowd of bright faces and merry
hearts. The feast of both body and mind was
all that we could wish. The entertainments at
stage and table were admirable, indeed. And
l believe that some of the children became 80
excited that they even danced a little. would
not be- surprised if some, in the midst of their
mirth, almost wished that Hiram Lodge would
get in debt again. Sir, if you want anything
done ia time and done well, ''good work and
true work." enlist the hearts and minds of the
good women of our country. Don't you know
that woman can't bear to be in debt? There
fore, as soon as the wives and daughters Of
Masons learned our distress, they sprang in.
stantly and successfully to our relief, And 1
imagine if more of US would consult our wives
in our dealings, that fewer of us would go into
bankruptcy.
Owing to the fact that a great many subscrip-
tion lists have not yet been returned to me by
various members of the committee, we are not
able to ascertain the full amount realized
Many suppose that the gross receipts will be
81, 500. Now, sir, with very low bow, (espe-
cially the ladies on my committee,) I withhold
for the present, expressing the hope that those
who have not yet been able to do so will return
their lists (howe7er smalI) at the earliest possi-
BILE day. Respectfully,
RS. HILL, 2
Chm'n Com. Donations.

Which is Right?

The Charleston Daily Republican claims that
Anderson will be represented in the next Leg
islature as follows A Republican Senator and
two Republican Representatives, with one Rep
resentative Reformer. On the other hend,
the Charleston Daily Neeos alleges that Ander-
son has elected Reform Senator and three
Representatives. Which is right? The sue
eessful candidates, with the exception of DR..
John Wilson, were nominated as Independent
candidates, received the unanimous support of
the Radical party in the election, but declined
to express any preference as to the Radical and
Reform parties during the canvass. We can
not define their positions, and would like an
explanation from our Charleston cotemporaries
IS to the method of arriving at their respective
conclusions.

ORCHARD AND NURSERY.

Your Committee on Orchards and Nursery
beg leave to report:
That they have examined the few specimens
of fruit that have been offered. They take oc-
casion to say that from the excellence OF the
few specimens that were presented, that many
more specimens might have been brought, if
proper interest had been taken by the many
known raisers of fruit in our county. Your
Committee believe that abundant, cheap and
healthy food,fo mar, horses, COWS andhogs might
be raised in this county at small expense; and
they would suggest that for home use many
varieties ripening from June to November,
would be the true policy. But if the product
of the orchard be intended for market, then
the experience of others prove that the true
policy is to plant but two varieties, and they
should consist of the Red June and the choicest
variety of Winter Apples to be procured. We
had before us apples large and beautiful, meas
uring Ia inches in circumference; but your
Committee does not approve of that sized ap-
pie, first, because that species of tree bears
very sparsely and, second, because the fruit
being large and heavy, is very liable to be
blown off by the wind. A moderate sized ap-
ple and a heavy bearer is thought to be the
better for all purposes.
A basket of choice Fall Pears were present
ed by Mr.. Provost, which well deserved atten-
tion, but as no premium was offered for Pears,
we could do no more than taste, admire and
commend others to grow them.
A few choice varieties of Winter Apples
were presented by Mr.. A. E. Rice, which de
serve special commendation but Mr.. A. S.
McClinton presented basket of six varieties
of Winter Apples, which were not only COM
mended for their keeping qualities, but for their
fine flavor We therefore award the premium
to Mr.. A. s. McClinton for the "Best and lar
gest variety of Apples" and also for the "Best
Apples for Winter Keeping" Also, premi-
um to Mr. D. J. Sherard for the "Best sample
of Cabbage" and to B. Earle Seaborn for the
"Best variety of Garden Vegetables"
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Annual Meeting of the Anderson Farmers
Association.
ANDERSON G. r., Nov. 4, 1870.

ANDERSON y. b., NOV. & loIU.
The annual meeting of the Anderson Far
mers' Association was held in the Exhibition
Hall this day at one o'clock. Maj. T. II. Rus
sell, first Vice President of the Association, pre-
sided over the meeting, and congratulated the
members upon the success of the Third Annu-
al Fair, and in brief, excellent manner urged
upon all present the necessity and Importance
of sustaining the Farmers Association, and
placing it upon more permanent basis. He
concluded by calling upon Hon. ]. P. Reed to
address the Association. Mr.. Reed responded
in felicitous effort, and made several sugges-
tons towards carrying out the idea of the Vice
President in giving permanence and impor-
tance to the Association.
On motion of Maj. G. W. Maret, the present
officers of the Association were continued for
another year in their respective positions, as
follows:
Tresident-Hon. James L. Orr.
IIce Presidenh-Maj. T. H. Russell, James
c. Legs, D. M. Watson and R. N. Wright
Secretary and Treasurer-James A. Hoyt
The presiding officer suggested that it would
be necessary to call an extra meeting of the
Association, to discuss the future prospects and
present condition of the organization, and after
some discussion, it was ordered that an extra
meeting be held on Saturday, 9th of Decem-
Der next.
Maj. Russell then announced that the reports
of Committees would be received and premi-
ums awarded. The Secretary read the reports
of the various Committees, and the premiums
were delivered, after which the Association ad-
journed.

The Masonic Fair.

The programme of the Masonic Fair was
fully carried out on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday last The entertainment on Tuesday
evening, alluded to last week. raised the expec-
tations Of friends and strangers, and large au-
dienee was il attendance when the Fair opened
on Wednesday evening. The display OF fancy
articles, and the beautiful array OF cakes ana
refreshments of all kinds, in the second story
of the Masonic building, were truly attractive
and tempting, while the substantial supper
spread in the Lodge room was no less entlcing
to the hundreds of hungry people then and
there assembled.
Thursday afternoon the building was thrown
open at two O'Clock, and many visitors from the
country availed themselves of the opportunity
to inspect and patronize the establishment
And again at night the Hall was crowded with
an eager and gratifed audience, to whom was
disposed large portion of the articles and
viands offered for sale.
Friday afternoon the Hall was again opened,
and the Fair most literally patronized But it
was on Friday evening, when the closing scenes
were enacted, that the Hall was most densely
crowded. The general desire for repetition of
the Charades induced the managers to add this
attraction without extra charge for admittance.
Hence, the entire Hall was literally filled with
ladies and gentlemen. Three Charades were
performed to the intense delight and gratifca-
ton of those present, and it was unanimously
agreed that the actors had surpassed their efforts
on Tuesday night. Mr.. F. rendered "Bur-
lesque On Jenny Lind" in admirable style, and
at the close of the entertainment, "Old Bob
Ridley" made his appearance, and "snatched
the dilapidated linen off the shrubbery," to use
the polite expression of popular phrase. The
ladies in charge of the tables were industriously
engaged during the evening in disposing of the
articles yet for sale, and combined with auctions
and rafting, great success was achieved. After
reasonable time had been thus occupied, the
Committee of Arrangements permitted the
worshippers Of Terpsichore to "trip the light
fantastic" to the music of string band, and
the Masonic Fair was closed with joyous and
happy memories which will scarcely be efaced
by Times remorseless hand.
The refreshment saloon at the Agricultural
Fair on Thursday and Friday was managed
successfully, and received liberal support.
That the Masonic Fair was a complete and
overwhelming success, socially and pecuniarily,
none will attempt to deny. The ladies worked
energetically, and to them is due the highest
praise for their noble efforts. The fraternity
will seek an early opportunity to express their
gratitude in more fitting words that we can
command. 1t is estimated that the proceeds of
the Fair, over and above expenses, will amount
to 1000.
