Nominating Convention.

The Pickens Sentinel of last week contains
the proceedings of the Democratic Convention
held at Pickens G. H. on the first Monday in
this month, and we learn therefrom that it is
proposed to hold Nominating Convention at
this place on the 3rd of September next, for
the purpose of selecting candidate for Solici-
tor of the Eighth Judicial Circuit. We ap-
pend the preamble and resolutions relating to
the proposed Convention, which were unani-
mously adopted, as follows:
WHEREAS, the delegates of the Conservative
Democratic party of Pickens County, in con-
vention assembled, for the purpose of nomina-
ting candidates for the various County offices,
feel the vital Importance of securing the elec-
ton of Democrat to the office of Solicitor OF
the Eighth Judicial Circuit; and whereas, the
Radicals have instructed their delegates from
each Judicial Circuit to their State Convention
on 21st inst, to nominate candidates for S0lici-
tor for each Judicial Circuit in the State; and
whereas, we feel the impossibility of electing a
candidate to that Office without concentration
of our forces upon one candidate. Therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That Circuit Convention is called
to meet at Anderson G. H., on the Ord day OF
September next, for the purpose of nominating
candidate for the office of Solicitor of the
Eighth Judicial Circuit and that the counties
composing said Circuit are requested to send
five delegates each to the said Convention.
Resolred That this Convention, now in ses-
sion, select five delegates to represent this
County in the said Circuit Convention at An
derson G. H., on the 3rd day of September
next, and that they be instructed 10 vote fol
the nomination of the present incumbent, Col
w. H. Perry, as the choice of the people Of
The chair appointed the following gentlemen
as delegates to the Circuit Convention, viz
Messrs. r. A. Child, D. F. Bradley, J. R. Hol
combe, Jas. NJ. McFall and r. A. Bowen.

From the Sandwich Islands.

We make the following extract from private
letter received not long ago from Capt. Walter
NJ. Gibson, formerly citizen of Anderso,,
and for some years past a resident in the
Sandwich Islands:
"Our islands are now in flourishing condi-
ton. Sugar planting is rapidly assuming very
large proportions Owing to the rejection of
our proposed Reciprocity Treaty with the
United States, which advocated at Washing
ton, we have, in seeking for new markets,
opened up large and lucrative intercourse
with Australia and gained large accessions of
foreign population from the British Colonies,
so that the result is now probable that we will
become Australianized, rather than American
lied, which latter ought to be the case, had the
American Senate given us proper considera-
ton.
"We take lively interest in political move
ments in the States; and will mention to you,
merely as an item, showing the political SYM
pathy of the Pacific, that all former political
opinions in the Islands are now united in a
cordial endorsement of the nomination of Hor-
ace Greeley for the Presidency, and hope for
his election OF course, he was bitter dis
turber of the peace in the South, but if he
brings peace now, amnesty, and some return to
States rights, suppose you ought to hail him,
in the absence of something better. 1t would
be very curious, though"

they are hereby, instructed not to support for
nomination to any State Office F. J. Moses, jr.,
nor any member of the Land Commission, the
Sinking Fund Commission, or the Financial
Board.
A speech was made by Maj. William Stone,
who gave calm and dispassionate account of
the condition of affairs, and advised the Con-
vention that the Republican party owed it to
themselves to work out the reform which is so
much needed They have it in their power to
do it, the men with which to do it, they alone
can do it, and the responsibility rests with
them.
Several other speeches in a like vein were
made, which were enthusiastically received by
the Convention.
A resolution was unanimously adopted, de-
claring the preference of the Convention to be
for the denomination of Hon. A. S. Wallace
as candidate for Congress.
The delegates to the State Convention were
instructed to cast the vote of the County fol
Absalom Blythe, Esq, as candidate for solici,
tor of the Eighth Judicial Circuit.
The proceedings of the Convention were
most harmonious, and the entire body acted
with united purpose.

Another Call.

Edward T. Stokes, the champion Democrat
of South Carolina, and who signs himself a
member of the Executive Committee of the
Democratic party of the United states,p has
issued call for "the true Democrats of South
Carolina" to meet in Convention in the city of
Columbia on Friday, Aug. 23rd, for the pur-
pose of electing delegates to the National
Democratic Convention, which will be held at
Louisville, KY, on the 9rd of September. We
opine that the Convention will be principally
confined to the signer of this call, unless DIR.
Ensor could be persuaded to send delegates
from the institution over which he presides.

The North Carolina Election.

The intelligence that the Democrats had
gained complete victory in North Carolina
was heralded over the country last week, and
caused much rejoicing at the prospect Of an-
other Southern State being thoroughly re-
deemed from Radical misrule and oppression.
But the majority claimed for Merrimon, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, was stead
lily reduced by later returns, until finally the
result was announced that Gov. Caldwell had
been reelected by about. 1900 majority. The
Democrats allege that the most infamous frauds
were perpetrated by their opponents, and steps
are being taken to contest the election
Enough is left, however, to make us congratu-
late the conservative voters of North Carolina,
as a large majority of the Legislature just cleo
ted are Democrats, and five out of the eight
Congressman belong to the same party. We
believe that old Rip Van Winkle will record
her vote for Greeley and Brown in November
next.

A Perilous Season.

Glorious and delightful as the Summer wealth
er is, it's tropical heat is severe trial to the
vital powers. Even the strongest are some
times prostrated by its effects. The common
phrase applied to this condition of the body is
general debility" Now, general debility
arises from, and includes a variety OF ailments
The liver is more or less affected, the bowels
are either constipated or too much relaxed, the
stomach but half performs the work OF d1ges-
ton the appetite is poor, and the spirits 0e-
pressed. This is what is called general deblli-
ty. It is a general disarrangement of all the
physical functions, and requires as remedy
ter's Stomach Bitters is specially adapted to
this purpose. Its general operation is not con-
fined to single organ. If the liver is affected,
it restores its tone. If the stomach is torpid, 1t
recenerates it. If the nerves are tremulous
and weak, it braces and reinforces them. II the
mind, which ever sympathizes with the body,
is gloomy and despondent, it relieves the diff
Guilty, and soon brings the whole mechanism
of the body into harmony with the laws OF
health.
There is no civilized nation in the Western
Hemisphere in which the utility of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters as tonic, corrective and anti
bilious medicine, is not known and apprecia-
ted. Throughout the tropics it is considered,
both by the people and the profession, tho
standard specific While it is medicine for all
seasons and all climates, it is especially suited
to the complaints generated by the weather,
being the purest and best vegetable stimulant
in the world.
Beware of the Bitters made Of acrid and dam
gerous materials which unscrupulous parties
are endeavoring to foist upon the people. Their
name is legion, and the public has no guaran-
tee that they are not poisonous. Adhere to the
tried remedy, uostetter's Bitters, sold only in
glass, and never i'll kegs or barrels.

The Radical State Convention.

The Columbia correspondent of the Beaufort
Republican gives his impressions about tine
forthcoming Radical Convention in the follow
ing manner, which will prove interesting to
persons outside the camp of the Philistines,
who are now quarelling among themselves:
As the day approaches for the meeting of the
State convention, the politicians become more
and more uneasy, doubtful and bewildered.
The numbers, earnestness and industry of the
opponents of rascality in the Republican perty
has so alarmed the ring that they are ready to
promise anything that may be required and are
casting about to form a ticket satisfactory to
the malcontents. Two months ago this would
have been an easy matter. To-day it is too
late Nothing will now satisfy the people but
the utter overthrow of the whole horde.
There is no doubt, therefore, that there will
be two Republican conventions. The regulars
will head theirs with Chamberlain or Moses,
and with Hoge, Parker and Melton for Comp
troller, Treasurer and Attorney General. The
ornamental offices of Lieut.. Governor, Secre-
tary of State, Superintendent of Education
and Adjutant General being assigned to the
colored element.
The Reforlners are generally agreed upon
Tomlinson for Governor, Edwin L. Gary for
treasurer, anu w LIE II. IIdilO, Va O'SSh''AAN,
for Attorney General. Gen. Warren, OF
Charleston, is named by some for Superinten-
dent of Education, but Jillson is quite general
" named for the place. The balance of the
ticket as in that of the regulars will be given
to colored men, among whom are named Bose
mon, of Charleston, Henry Cardozo, of Ker-
shaw, and Henry Hayne
F. L. Cardozo and Ransier are candidates tor
Congressman-at-large. Cardozo will easily be
able to secure the nomination from the regular
convention. Ransier wants nomination, but
wants an election also. He is dreadfully un-
certain as to which party will win. He alter
nately counts both sides. He prefers Congress
man -at-large, but would accept reelection to
his present position or would be quite willing
to go to Congress from the Second District
B.. F. Whttemore intends to dispute with
Rainey for the latter's seat in Congress-
Should he succeed in getting the nomination,
Rainey will probably be put on the Reformers'
ticket for Lieut.. Governor.
From all parts of the State the reports are
favorable to an overwhelming defeat of the
ring. The Columbia men are slow to believe
it, but they have so accustomed themselves tc
see and hear only the servile slaves who de-
pend upon them for a living, that they are the
least informed of any men in the State as to the
true drift of popular opinion.

The Peoples Stamp Of Value.

The Government endorsement, which legal
ICES the sale of Plantation Bitters, is not the
only stamp affixed to that famous Vegetable
Tonic. 1t bears, in addition to that official
lie appreciation. This inestimable voucher Of
its rare properties as Tonic, Corrective and
Alternative, is of much earlier date than the
Government credcntial; for millions of sick
persons had pronounced it the Grand Specific:
of the Age long before Congress thought OF
taxing proprietary medicines 1t is M fsis
wonderful Vegetable Invigornnt. The best re-
ference that can be offered to those who desire
the full particulars of its virtues, is the Gene
raj Public. Ask those who have tried it as a
remedy for dyspepsia constipation, biliousness,
tism, sea sickness, low spirits, or loss of vital
power, what Plantation Bitters has done for
them, and be governed by the response they
make to your inquiries.

Anderson Farmers and Mechanics AS
sociation.

We understand that the President and Di-
rectors of the Anderson Farmers and Mechan-
ics' Association have entered into contract
with Col. F. A. Hoke for the erection of
suitable building in which to hold the ap-
preaching County Fair. The building will be
completed on or before the 18th of October
next. The site for the Fair grounds has not
YET been selected, but we learn that choice
will be made shortly from several lots offered
for that purpose, when the contract for an en-
closure and other buildings will be awarded.
The Fifth Annual Fair of this Association
will be held about the usual time, and an en-
larged and comprehensive Premium List will
be issued at an early day. Subscribers to the
capital stock of the Association will be expect
ed to pay the amount of their subscriptions in
ample time to meet the obligations now being
incurred, and persons having lists are earnestly
requested to renew their efforts forthwith to-
wards increasing the capital stock. We trust
that the farmers of Anderson will promptly
come forward, and by their means and influence
secure the permanent success of this Associa-
ton.

ANDERSON Q. H., S. G.
THURSDAY MORNING, AUG. Is, 1872
Returned.

The editor of this paper returned home last
week, and has again entered upon the duties
and labors of the sanctum. Although we have
enjoyed the brief recreation, and have seen
much to admire in other communities, there Is
q pleasure in being at home and in the midst
of friends that counterbalances all other attrac-
tions, and we return among the people OF An
dersen with higher appreciation of the many
advantages possessed by this community, not
withstanding the unfavorable aspect of public
affairs in our State, when compared with more
fortunate and more independent people. With
a determination to abate neither energy nor
zeal in the advocacy of all that is good. and
true, we extend the right hand of fidelity to
our many readers, and will seek to strengthen
the ties between us by renewed effort and ap-
plication to business.
In this connection, we cannot refrain from
publicly rendering our thanks to j. G. Q.
Featherston, Esq, for the able and excellent
manner in which he discharged the duties of
editor pro tenn. during our absence. His judg-
ment and discretion were frequently called into
uequisitiop, and the results manifested an entire
fitness for the high duties of journalist. We
appreciate his services in this behalf, and CRATE
fully render the just need of praise for his ad-
mirable conduct of these columns for the last
six weeks.
