GONE VERY GOOD REASONS why 1t is that
= FOUT sells such immense quantities OF coal: in
the nrst place. he always buys the best that he
bought for money, without regard to price; and
second, his coal is kept In well built sheds, wi h
oors In them and third it is all irefully screened
and picked. Weight guaranteed; delivered prompt
ly and sold as low as the lowest Office and yard,

NIOW is THE TIME to buy coal as 1t has not
~ been lower for years. Reliance Mt. Carmel
and Lehigh are the favorite kinds. All sizes kept
under cover, and carefully screened.

Mr The Reform Radicals held meeting in
the Court House ON Tuesday night, which was
largely attended by white and colored citizens.
Hon. John Wilson was called to- the chair, and
Jack Harrison (colored) requested to act as
Secretary. Speeches were delivered by Sam
johnson, (colored,) Judge Orr and J. S. Muir
ray, Esq, in the order named. Messrs. Orr
and johnson gave accounts in detail of their
action as delegates to- the Republican State
Convention, and both of them assailed the
Moses party in unstinted terms for corruption,
bribery and thieving generally. Both asserted
most uneualfedly, however, thata Democratic
nomination forState officers would re-unite the
two wings Of the Radical party, and prevent
the defeat of Moses and his crowd. sai "a

FOURTH Days PROCEEDINGS.

SATURDAY, aug. "a, lofL.
The business in order was the nomination of
candidate for State Treasurer.
On motion, the friends of the different can
didates were allowed three hours in which to
state the claims of their favorites.
F. Fl. Frost, of Williamsburg, proceeded to
denounce Cardoza in unmeasured terms, and
was followed by Swails, of Williamsburg, in
severe arraignment of Cardoza for his acts as
member of the Land Commission, his connec-
ton with the infamous railroad ring, and for
sealing an enormous over-issue of State bonds.
Cardoza replied to his assailants in an eabo-
rate speech, defending his conduct and charg-
ing heavily upon Scott, Parker and others.
After considerable interruption and confu-
sion, call of the roll was commenced, and the
balloting opened. The result was as follows
large number of delegates changing to Car
doza, after it was ascertained that he was cleo
ted: Cardoza, II; Adams, l; McKinlay, 2;
Perry, 8; Alexander, 8; Noah, 26.
The nomination fer Comptroller General
being next in order, Mr.. Rainey nominated
Solomon L. Hoge-who, having received eigh-
ty-six, majority of the votes, was declared the
nominee of the Convention.
Mr. S. J. Lee proposed II. W. Purvis for the
Office of Adjutant and Inspector General, who
was nominated without opposition.
Judge Mackey nominated j. Z. Jillson for
Superintendent of Education; elected unani-
mously.

col. Aiken,s. Address.

The able and interesting address Of Col. D.
WYATT Aiken, which was deliveredin the Court
House on Thursday last, was listened. to with
unaagging attention by goodly number OF
substantial citizens, from whom We heard an
united expression Of qualification at the pleas
ure offered. by his instructive and excellent ef-
fort. Col. Aiken attributed the main portion
of our want of prosperity as people to their
restlessness lack Of information, absence Of
union among the farmers, and to the cultiva-
ton of corn end cotton-two of the most ex-
pensive and exhaustive crops that can be put
in the ground. Under each of these heads, in
q clear and foreible manner, the Colonel made
practical illustrations to defend the position as
sumed by him, and while he may not have
convinced every one of his hearers that he was
right in every particular, the ideas advanced
by him furnished food for reflection to thinking
and practical men, that, like bread cast upon
the waters" will yield its beneficial results in
days and years to come. We fully agree with
the editor of the Spartanburg Spartan: :" If
the State Agricultural Society had never done
ANYTHING more than send COL Aiken on this
lecturing tour through the State, it would have
accomplished a. great work in developing the
material resources Of the country" And our
only regret, in connection with his visit to this
place, lies in the fact that every farmer in An
derson was not present to hear his plain, sensi-
lie, practical talk concerning the best method of
n,anaginc a farm and econoulizipg their re-
sources

Correction.

In reporting the proceedings of the Radical
County Convention, in our last issue, we stated
that Mr.. J. S. Murray expressed the opinion
"that two Democrats would vote for Grant to
where one would vote for Greeley" Mr.. Muir
ray alleges that we made mistake in reporting
his remarks, and we take pleasure in making
the correction, as we never intend to misrepre-
sent political opponent in the slightest par
ticular. He believes that two Democrats will
vote for Grant to where one Republican will vote
for Greeley, and this is what he intended to say,
although we failed to catch the word "Repub-
lican." Of course, we differ widely with him
in opinion after this modification, bat we will
lingly accord the correction, as already stated.

FIFTH Days PROCEEDINGS.

MONDAf, aug. ~, Ioi =.
The Convention entered upon the discussion
of the platform, which had been submitted on
Saturday. After several important amend
ments had been proposed and adopted, the
platform as a whole was then unanimously ap-
proved by the Convention.
Mr.. Cardoza submitted report from the
committee on Rules for the government of the
Republican party.
1t half-past 5 O'Clock, the Convention took
recess for one hour. Upon re-assembling, the
Convention proceeded to the nomination of
Electors, which resulted as follows:
For the s.. It Large.-D. II. Chamberlain,
w. B. Nash, Gen. VIM. Gurney.
First Congressional District.-S. A. Swails.
Second Congressional Distric.-W. N. Taft.
Third Congressional District.-Henry Spar
nick.
Fourth Congressional District-T. J. Mackey.
The rules for the government of the party
were then taken up and discussed at length,
and various amendments were submitted. The
report of the committee as amended was finally
adopted.
The next business in order was the election
of State Central Committee, the County
Chairmen, &c., which completed the regular
routine, and the Convention then adjourned,
subject to the call of the President, upon the
recommendation of the State Central Commit
tee.
