State, which resulted in the nomination of
Henry f. Hayne, late Land Commissioner, and
F. 81. Frost, of williamsburg. The result
was: Hayne, 65; Frost, 93. The President
announced Mr.. Hayne as the successful candi-
date.
Mr.. Jamison, after highly eulogistic speech,
nominated Judge Samuel w. Melton for the
Office of Attorney General. MIR. Neagle nomi-
mated Hon. d. II. Chamberlain. The former
received the nomination by vote of 100 to 6 /;
when on the motion of W. r. Jones, the vote
was made unanimous.
A committee, consisting of Messrs Smalls,
Hedges and Jones, was appointed to inform
Judge Melton of his election and conduct him
to the speakers stand. In few minutes, the
committee returned, with the Judge upon their
shoulders, and were greeted with great applause
the band playing national air. The Presi-
dent on behalf of the Republican party of the
State, congratulated him upon his nomination.
Judge Melton responded in few remarks.
Mr.. Rainey nominated Hon. F. L. Cardoza
for State Treasurer, and was seconded by Judge
Mackey and Gen. F. J. Moses.
Judge Mackey read communication from

by Rainey, Maxwell, Moses, 7. J. Mackey and
Elliott.

70.
Mr.. Swails nominated Mayor Alexander,
which was seconded by Frost and Mobley. A
discussion here ensued, which resulted in Mob
ley and others becoming greatly excited |; an
inkstand was smashed over the reporters table,
and the Sergeant-at-Arms called upon to put
the offending member out. His friends rallied
around the member from Union, when, amidst,
the greatest excitement, the Convention ad-
journed.

The State Savings and Insurance Bank of
Anderson.

We re.gratifed to announce that this lnsa-
tuition, which was chartered at the last session
of the Legislature, and formally organized du-
ring the month of June, commenced business
under very favorable auspices few days ago.
An exceedingly handsome and convenient office
has been fitted up for the Bank in Maj Bors-
stel's building on Brick Range, Immediately in
front of the Court House, and we observe that
the polite and accommodating Cashier, Mr. !.
a. Brock, assisted by the energetic Vice Presi-
dent Coz. J. NJ Brown, are in regular atten-
dance, prepared to wait on such persons as
desite Bank accommodations.
Il will be seen that the. institution, as ex-
pressed by its title, is a, Savings and Insu-
rance Bank" but it has, in addition to these,
all the powers and privileges possessed by any
and all other sirilar institutions that have been
or may Be chartered in this State. AS savings
institution it will be of incalculable benefit to
this community, if our people will avail them
selves of ITS advantages, and we have no doubt
on this point, when they come to understand
its practical value as means OF aggregatlng
their earnings. Its commercial Importance to
our place can hardly be over-estimated, as it
will furnish the money and exchange to handle
the twelve or fifteen thousand bales of cotton
that will reach this market during the season,
and likewise daily illustrate the convenience OF
banking facilities to our business men IN every
department of trade. These are only two OF
its prominent features, however. In addition,
the Bank will discount notes, bills of exchange,
and other evidences of indebtedness; loan
money on colaterals, and on bond and mort
gage of real and personal estate; buy and sell
stocks, bonds, gold and silver and mutilated
currency, and transact any other business Incl
dent to such an institution.
The stock of the Bank is owned nearly alto
gether by our most reliable and responsible CIT
Iens. who are determined to manage its affairs
as to promote the permanent interest of this
community. As to the officess, they are all
men to the manor born, whose every interest is
identified with this immediate community, and
who are distinguished amongst us, not only for
pecuniary responsibility and integrity, but tor
their financial skill and ability. "fhe State
Savings and Insurance Bank of Anderson, T"
therefore, may be confidently relied upon as
one of the permanent and prosperous instltu-
tions of the country, and we are confident that
the officers will receive hearty greeting INTO
the business circles Of the State.

The Public Meeting on Next Monday.

The call which appears in another column,
so numerously signed, is indicative of the spirit
peryadine the anti-Radical masses in regard to
thesnecessity of making proper arrangements to
defeat the schemes of our political opponents
in this County. We want the subject thorough
Iy discussed, and to this end we would invoke
thepresence of every citizen disposed to aid in
reaching right conclusion. Let none remain
aloof from this initial point in the movement,
whatever their predictions and prejudices
may be on the question of nominating candi-
dates by the proposed method. We are quite
sure that the citizens of Anderson County will
patiently and calmly consider the views and
opinions of every one as to the best means of
securing unity and harmony in our acton, and
we reiterate the expression that those who
agree with us in opinion will cheerfully abide
the decision of our fellow-citizens. We are
not in favor of tamely submitting to the dicta-
ton Of Radicals as to who shall fill the offices
in Anderson County, when there is such large
majority of voters opposed to that party, and
we are willing to agree upon any plan that Will
secure defeat of their nominees. 1t is idle to
talk about the disposition of the Radicals to
favor the election of this or that candidate,
when we know that they will never go outside
of their ranks to obtain candidate, except
where it is possible to divide their political op-
ponents and strengthen their own position
thereby. We must recognize the facts as they
exist to-day, and not trust to the possible ad-
vancement and advantage of individuals. The
entire tax-paying element is deeply interested
in the selection of judicious and competent
officers, and who is better calculated to make
that selection than themselves? The promo
tion of individual interests must succumb to
the general good, and we think that every one
should be anxious to combine our strength and
hurl it against tho citadel Of Radicalism, when
we have the power to prevent this County from
passing under the control of that corrupt party.

Bsg The political cauldron has been seething
and boiling during the past week in Columbia,
and there have been gatherings ofthe clans from
the Radicals, the Reform Radicals, the Liberal
Republicans, the Greeley Democrats and the

Convention, after the nomination of Franklin
J. Moses, jr., and in consequence of that action,
he issued call to all honest Republicans who
were dissatisfied with the nominee for Governor
to meet at the Court House in Columbia the
next morning. Some twenty-five or thirty
delegates answered the call, and proceeded to
organize by choosing Judge Orr to preside over
the meeting. On taking the chair, the Judge
made lengthy and able speech in vindication
of his course, setting forth the objects of the
movement, and commenting in severe terms
upon the corruption of the other wing. He was
