There were also some amusements during
the Fair the attention of the crowd at times
being attracted towards a vendor of pens and
pencils, who used his oratorical powers to the
best advantage in endeavoring to dispose of his
wares. There was also on the grounds wheel

and proved to be the wheel of misfortune to
many, and small tent used for Photographic
gallery, wherein many pictures were taken.
Upstairs in the main building the crowd was
greatest, owing to the splendid view from this
elevated position. In the afternoon delightful
music was discoursed by the Harmonic Club.
Later in the evening the committees report
ed, and the premiums were awarded, and the
Fair closed with a mule race, which was enjoy
ed by all present. The vast crowd then wended
their way homewards, much pleased with all
they saw, and inwardly wishing that the Coun-
ty Fair would take place oftener. Much credit
is due Mr.. B. F. Crayton, and the other officers
of the Association, for the enterprising spirit
manifested by them in the whole arrangement
of the Fair, and the grand success in which It
terminated reflects unbounded credit upon
their zeal and energy.

HOMICIDE.

On Friday evening last as Mr.. William Mar
tin and Stephen Chastain, jr., were on their way
home from this place, the latter, after coming
to the road that turned in the direction of his
house volunteered to go home with Martin, as
he was somewhat under the influence of liquor.
They proceeded on together quietly, until near
the residence of Mr.. McLesky, when Martin
dropped his hat in the road and began looking
for it. After finding it, he drew his pistol, and
said to Chastain, "You called me d-n liar,
and am going to shoot you." Chastain said
to him, "Biil, put up your pistol" Martin
then fired, the ball striking Chastain in the left
breast, and passing through the upper lobe OF
the left lung and lodging. Chastain then foil,
and Martin fled. Mr.. McLesky heard the shot
fired, came and found Chastain lying in the
road bleeding. He had him conveyed to his
house only a short distance off, where he re-
manned until Sunday morning, when he was
taken to his fathers, Mr.. John Chastain. Med
ical attendance was called soon after he was
shot, but all to no purpose. He died on Mon
day at one o'clock p. m. Martin is still at
large, but his arrest will soon be made.

The Independent Republicans held meet
ing on Friday night, in front of the Benson

forward speech. giving much good advice to
his colored hearers. He was followed oy E. B.
Seabrook, Esq, in an eloquent and powerful e.
fort against the Chamberlain ticket. The next
speaker was Prof w. FL. Thomas, an educated
colored man, who made an able and truthful
exposition of the real issues involved in the
campaign. Messrs. J. r. Cochran and j. s.
Murray followed in telling, effective speeches,
urging the claims of Green and Delaney upon
the colored people. AL of the speakers were
warmly applauded, and We have no doubt that
their efforts bore fruit in the election on Tues

Green's majority in Oconee County is six hum
dred votes, and McGowan's over seven hum
dred. Greenville went strong for Green and
Kershaw, and we hear that MCGOWAN carried
Abbeville County. 1t is too early to determine
the result for Governor or Congress, though we

Election Returns.

We are unable to give complete return OF
the election on Tuesday last, as many OF the
precincts are not yet heard from. Below will
be found an aggregate statement OF the vote
each candidate received at the following pre-
cincts, to wit: Anderson G. H., Milford's,
Balls Mill, Sandy Springs, Fork, Greenwood,
Centreville, Bolton, Dark Corner, Craytonville,
Williford's Store and Williamson. 1t will be
seen that the majority for Green is 5S3 in this
County, which will be incre sed considerably
by the returns from other precincts, and may
be safely estimated at not less than 700 in this
county. McGowan's majority over Hoge is
now 797, and will be increased to 900. The
figures indicate the successful candidates, with

WAR OF RACES.

The late battles in the South between

the Republic with "a new danger.
1t Is very true that ''war legislates. :

Combating the protesting policy Of
the Democracy, the Republicans have
gone too far. Not satisfied with giving
to the negro all the rights enjoyed by the
white people of the Republic, they have
attempted TO legislatc him into social
equality with the white man-they
have become the apologists of all his
crimes-thcy have melted him to assume
airs of superiority, and with insolence to
demand the homage OF the white people of
