Mr.. .Ehrd F. Stokes made a public po-
litical Ssh in Greenville on last Monday
night. ie is red-hot Democrat, and
withal anti-indationist, or in other
words O, ,rd-money man. Mr.. Stokes has
not spol either in public or private until
this tmwe believe, since his imprison-
ment f9ontempt of court near three years
ago. Ware glad his silence has been bro
ken, amope he will in future enjoy the
society mankind as he formerly did.

active I'D valuable citizen, the Baptist
Churc,tzealous and consistent deacon, the

The tate Agricultural and Mechanics
Fair bns in Columbia on the 9th of next
month 1t will doubtless be very interest
ing ocdon, and we hope the people OF our
State vi make it what it should bean
eminerl success. There is premium OF
thre hulred dollars offered to the county
exhibitg the largest number of agricultu-
raj projections, and the competition be-
tween me counties promises to be very
close, al is awakening much interest. We
would lie to see Anderson display more
interest,rst in our County Fair and then
in the Ste Fair. Articles exhibited here
can ver,asily be sent to Columbia after
wards. +" t..' @
g Threatengs and slaughter against the
New iYorRemocracy are breathed by the
brethren in Pennsylvania as WI as in
Ohio. Here is the Titusville Courier taine
in this way: "The deep and unforgivina
sentiment against the Tammany Democ
for their perfdious- conduct toward Y
Ohio brethren in their hour of trial is III
versal with the Democracy of this State, q
it has nerved them to greater exertion tn
ever. The Keystone Democrats will tx
no step backward. Every day there is cn
ing fresh evidence that the people wilde
clare against contraction. With the bgh
prospects before us, we call upon every .na1
to consecrate himself to the good workror
this time on to the election"
Judge Mackey is said to have expesse
the opinion that case within the juisdi
ton of Trial Justice cannot be carrisd OF
of the township in which he lives, tnle:
he is absent or too sick to attend to tln bu
iness of his Office. Such construction
the law may be forced one, but we a
disposed to believe it would be o good ldt
for the Legislature to give it the shape OF
law. One Trial Justice is a plenty for eac
township, and the besiness cfeach townsh
should be transacted within its own limit
With such Trial Justice system and goo
appointees, the general good of the countl
would be advanced. Incompetent appoln
ees in the office of Trial Justice is the grea
est curse of our present system.
The Washington correspondent OF Il
Ne,cs and Courier says that Ex-Gov. Nose
of South Carolina, has made application
President Grant for an appointment
Minister Plenipotentiary to Liberia but Tn
he is not likely to receive it. The same &C

company with some northemcrs, concoct'
q scheme for the construction of Graz
African Continental Railway, to ruri fro
Liberia through Soudan and Abyssinnia
