Election Frauds.

The Laurensrille Herald says that
Ellis Thompson: at precinct No. 1,
opened the polls at FIVE instead of SIX
o'clock, and that he positively refused
to let his box be inspected. At halt
past six o'clock four hundred and
ninety votes were pollcd, aud ouly
FIVE hundred and thirty-three during
the whole day. At the count, ballots
were found iu said box folded together,
in some cases four, III others two, and
all radical. Yet, strange to say, there
were more names on the poll lists than
there were ballots in the box. This
shows evidently that not only was
there stuffiug, but 'thac the lists were
filed up by this manager.
In another place will be found a
statement Of the difficulty which oc.
CURED On the day after the election.
The Herald says nothing in regard
to the report that the Hon. Joseph
Crews was set upon by two hundred
and fifty Ku Klux, and that his horse
was shot from under him while leap
ing the jail fence, in which asylum

refuge. It is not believed here that
any attempt was made to hurt him.

For THE HERALD
CI. SQUEpIN, So. Ca,

EDITOR HERALD: Perhaps some few
of the many readers of the HERALD
may remember that your humble writer
had gone up the spout. We are pleased
to tell them our visit was extremely
pleasant. Returning, we stopped at the
house of Mr.. David Hipp, near Ruffs
Mountain, in the upper part of Lexing-
ton, and were highly entertained. We
had backbones for dinner, and they
were we'll prepared. Suffice it to say,
both man and beast flrcd sumptuously.
We were panied to learn Mr.. Hipp
had sold his steam saw mill, and no
doubt many Of his customers will long
remember Mr.. HIS courtesics. Mr..
Dennis Sutton was the fortunate possess
sor, and he promises to give entire sat
isfaction in the lumber business. Soon
afler dinner we travelled on, and saw
some fine fields of small grain, mostly
oats and barley. We noticed quite 4
fine field of oats owned by Capt. Geo.
/ pting, and were ut 4 loss to know if
they were q new kind, but as the Cal
tain is one Of the farmers of the old
time our curiosity was soon satisfied,
for undoubtedly there were no humbug
farmers in the good old days of the past.
Night coming on we sought lodging at
the house of Mr.. G. ?. Harvard, and
were highly entertained by Mrs. H.,
MIS-. Martha Welch and the entire
family. but the above named ladies at
tracted our attention most, rs they talk
ell Of the good old peaceful days of the
past, when roast turkey for dinner
was nothing uncommon. Mr.. II. in
terested Us also, as he is quite 4 sue
ccssful fisherman. We cannot better
illustrate to YOU the fact than to tell you
that we had two fine scale fish for
breakfast, each weighing about four
pounds. These were well prepared by
their noted cook, Maria, who has re-
manned with them ever since she was Il
small girl. We next stopped at the
residence Of Col. G. II. Chapman's, and
found Mrs. C. quite unwell, but we
were also highly entertained, for the
Colonel spoke solid, and not Of the
many ''hear-says" Of the present day.
Mr.. Editor, I noticed some weeks ago
where honorable mention was made
through the columns Of the HERALD
of wagon made by Mr. David Weda-
man, now Col. G. II. G.. has also made
him four-horse wagon quite worthy
of notice. and for durability it will
compare f;.vorably with any made in
the State, il runs light and in fact is
everything that is needed. 1t is neat,
and is void of any "ginger bread at
as we old folks call it, but
the more refined call it fancy work.
We here met DR.. J. X. Chapman, who
has an extensive practice from the
banks of Broad to Saluda rivers. The
Doctor is looking well, Notwithstanding
his arduous labor and the many nights
of disturbed natures sweet repose,
sleep. The crops around here look well,

cert of the Public L;braiJ OF Ken lucky on

now that all the tickets will be sold, and that
the drawing will be full one; but whether
all are sold or NOT, the drawing will ueVerthe-
less certainly come off on the day appointed.
The special object Of this card is 10 call 4
meeting Of the ticket-holderS at Public Libra
~ Hall, on the Goth OF November, TO make
arrangements in connection with the COM
mittee appointed by the Trustees 10 saperin-
tend the counting of the t.gs representing
the number of tickets sold. While there is
no actual necessity for the presence of ticket
holders, IS under our arrangements the in
teieSts Of all are equally cared for, yet at the
same time would greatly prefer that as
many of those interested as can, would at
tend this meeting and each see for himself
how ei.ectly fair and imp -rtial the distribu-
tiOn must be.
Every arrangement hes been made for the
little more than month re-
mains for the sale of the remainder Of the
tickets, and whatever is done must be done

An AFFRAY.-It is our unpleasant
duty to report difficulty that occurred
at this place on Wednesday, the day
after the election. 1t was between
two young men from Spartanburg, and
two colored men from Columbia. The
cause of this difficulty we have not
been able to ascertain, but understand
that it was altogether personal and
that politics had nothing to do with 1t.
It resulted in the wounding Of the
two colored men slightly: and the ar
rest, by the military, Of the two young
men from Spartauburg. Two other
young men, citizens of this County,
were also arrested by the military as
partieigants: one of whom Vas after
In this connection we will add that
the mi!itar; made the arrests before
the civil authorities even had an op-
portunity to act. If We have been
correctly Informed the Sheriff Was at
his dinner at tltle the dlnculty TOOK
place, and that he never so much as
requested the aid Of the military
Neither did the Municipal authorities
have time to act. 1t is proper to state
further that the two young men who
were arrested made no attempt to es-
cape. We have. heretofore, enter
tanned the old fogy notion that the
military was subservicnt to the civil:
and only to be called upon when the
civil authorities had exhausted proper
efforts. But we do not propose to
comment upon the matter at this time
We give the facts to the world, and
they are trumpct-tongued of them

We have learned that disturb
auce took place at Ridge Spring, in
Edgefeld County. on yesterday. The
affray originated from co!orcd mans
voting the Conservative ticket. where
upon the Chambcrlainites attempted to
mob him, and at this the whites inter
fered, and at one time the row was
general and promised trouble, though
no one was badly hurt While the
row WIS going on outside, the ballot
box was snatched from the managers
and totally destroyed. From last ac-
counts all were quiet
The above from the Lexington
Dispatch: is all that we can learn
as to the reported difficulty in Edge
field County on election day. The
Adrertiser makes no mention of it.
The report then that a negro was
killed has no confirmation. ! gen
tlenau in town here the following day
from that ueighborhood, says that just
as the box at the above namci pre-
cinct was closed negro fred oil: his
pistol, and Immediately at least TWO
hundred shots were fred, and that
some persons were wounded. There
was no further difficulty.

Foa THE HERALD.

One evening. after discharglng tho
many duties Of the day, | felt tired
and weary and retired for the night.
l had beeu SO busy all day that |
Omitted reading my accustomed chap
ter, and was thinking of this and Of
the unsatistying nature of earthly pur-
suits and pleasures.
I could not have wished better sue
cess in business than was mine OIL that
day, yet remembered that if I had
asked Divine favor at all it was merely
through the force Ct habit or mechan-
ically. But on that evening felt
depressed and "heary laden" and
really desired happiness which is
independent Of earth and earthly
duties, so I knelt to ask it. | could
not pray as in days of yore, and was
merely kneeling when kind Of vision
came to my mental view, as Moses
and the "burning bush," turned to
see what this could be. I saw in
thoughts the Prince of Peace pre-
pairing place for the saints. He was
taking children iu His arms-movlns
them-placing them nearer together,
making room for others, yet Heaven
did ~. seem crowded. | stood Won
dering-lookins to see if He were
going to place me amoug them-when
another scene opened to my view a
road broada long, an d Twas standing
by its side.
saw many distinguished persons
there, two of whom I recognized. \
minister with folded arms was standing
there in conversation with other men
of distinction. I may here state, tha;
many stood by the roadside. Many
-eur1su,ans who had navnr
perpetrated any considerable c ime,
but who were merely gaily dressed
idlers enjoying life, suffering their
time to pass away unlmproved.
I saw only a few in progress on the
road-the others were inactive mere
ly standing by the wayside.
\ beautiful young lady on the road,
instead Of progressing came backward
as if to meet me: but | was afraid and
brcathed i prayer that she night not
come nearer, and I saw her no more.
This part of my vision did not un
derstand 50 well, but thought surely
this is the Broad Road that leads TO
destruction, and with little hope or
depending, I exclaimed, Show me the
Narrow Way that leads to life eternal.
A pause ensued, when by a faint light
1 saw company marching rapidly
through the wilderness without any
apparent haste. This little company,
for it was small comparatively speak
ing, marched straight forward, looking
neither to the right nor left | could
not recognize one of them as they
RAPIDLY passed me by.
The two roads we're lying in
direction to cross each other, but they
never came in contact, then I wonder
ed why I recognized any Of those in
the "Broad Road" and not one in the
Narrow. Something seemed to answer,
because you are not one Of them"
Now, my friends, am convinced,
;s l hope you may be, that all those
who place their affections in earthly
pleasures, styles and fashions, who are
standing by the wayside doing nothing
for the cause; and more than this,
that all whose chief aim is not to press
forward for the prize regardless Of all
else, are beyond doubt in the road that
leads to death. Oh. let "to live with
us be Christ or to die can never be
gain" AMARlNTHlA \ d.
