A grand temperance mass meeting and
pic mic will take place at Warriors Creek
Church, in Laurens County, on Friday,
goth of August. Distinguished speakers
will be present, and a good time is antici-
pated. We thank the committee for an
invitation.
1t has been generally commented upon
that the people of the United States are
without an ex-President, since the death
of Andrew johnson. The fact seems to
be overlooked that the people of the
Southern States are not exactly in this
condition, for We have ex-President Da-
Wis yet in our midst.
The great State of New York is entire
ly under Democratic rule, and as the re-
suit the whole State tax for next year
need mot exceed 8 to 81 mills. This
would not run one session of the South
Carolina Legislature, and is between one
fourth and one fifth of what is necessary
to run our excellent ~ State government
under Republican rule.
Messrs. Wright & James, of Walhalla,
are engaged in the manufacture of smok-
ing tobacco, and we are indebted to these
gentlemen for a package of the "Issa-
quena" brand. Its flavor and quality
rank with the standard brands of the
oldest manufactures, and we believe that
their prices are equally as favorable.
Merchants ought to give them trial.
Elections will be held in number of
States this year as follows: California,
Sept. /; Arkansas, Sept. 6; Maine, Sept.
13; Iowa and Ohio, Oct. IL; Virginia,
Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts,, Missis-
sippi, Minnesota, Missouri, New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Nov. q;
Texas, Dec. z. After these elections are
over the question as to republicanism or
democracy will be settled, and appear
ances now are favorable to the Demo-
Gratis.
We are in receipt of the rules, regula-
tions and schedule of premiums of the
Third Annual Fair of the Greenville
Agricultural and Mechanical Associa-
ton, which will commence on Wednes-
day, October Goth, and continue for
three days. The premium list is hand
somely printed by J. G. Bailey of the
Enterprise and Mountaineer. The officers
of the Association are offering splendid
list of premiums, and exhibitors are in
vited from every section of the country.
The Abbeville Medium notes the pres
ence of Rev. D. E. Frierson, of Ander-
son, who recently preached in the Pres
byterian church at that place, and says:
ellis sermon was learned, logical and
eloquent. 1t was kind of running COM
mentary upon the history and religion of
the Jews and the Christian religion,
which sprang from the old Jewish faith,
or is continuation of that faith under a
new dispensation, but possessing all of
the ancient grandeur. Mr.. Frierson is a
power in the pulpit, and his preaching is
effective"
Ex-Governor William A. Graham, of
North Carolina, died of heart disease at
Saratoga, N. Y, on Wednesday morning,
18th inst, in the list year of his age.
He arrived at Saratoga about three weeks
before his death, and had been confined
to his room only four days. Gov. Gra-
ham entered public life at an early age,
and filled many exalted stations. He
was elected United States Senator in 1S41,
was Governor of North Carolina from
1S45 to 1S49, was member of Mr.. Fill
more's cabinet until 1852, and in that
year resigned to accept the Whig nomi-
nation for Vice President. He was Con-
federate States Senator for short time,
and was recently elected member of the
State Convention to revise the constitu-
ton of North Carolina. He was an hon
est, upright, Jealous and faithful public
servant, and the occurrence Of his death,
even at such an advanced age, is widely
regretted.
DR.. w. L. Love, of Franklin, N. c.,
calls attention to the recent action of the
citizens of Knoxville, who propose to
take $3.50, 1000 stock in the Blue Ridge
Railroad, in order to complete said road
to Walhalla, S. c., and requesting the
city authorities to submit this question
to the qualified voters. A meeting of
the stockholders of the Knoxville and
Charleston Railroad was held in Nash
Vile, when DR.. VIM. Morrow was elected
President, and resolutions were adopted,
looking to the completion of this work,
provided the proper assistance be given
by the towns and counties to be benefit
ted by this extension. DR.. Love says
this looks like business, and wants to
know whether Oconee and Anderson will
lend the "proper assistance" He further
