Perhaps gentleman is rarer sPeci-
men than some of MS think for. Which
of us can point out many such in his cir
Gle; men whose aims are generous, whose
truth is constant, and not only constant
in its kind, but elevated in its degree;
whose want of meanness makes them
simple; who can look the world honestly
in the face with an equal, manly sym
pathy for the great and small? We all
know how hundred whose coats are
very well made, and score who have
excellent manners. and one or two hap
py beings who are.in what they call the

gentlemen, how many? Let US take q

his list. ~ Thacke-ay.

LF-RELIANCE.-The success of in
dividuals in life is greatly owing to
their early learning to depend upon
their own resources. Money, or the ex-
pectation of II by inheritance, has ruined
more men than the want of it ever did.
If you teach young men to rely upon
their own efforts, to be frugal and in
dustrious, yon furnish them with pro-
dnctive capital which no man can ever
wrest from them.

THE EARTH DOES NOT REvoLvE AROUND
THE MOON.

Professor Trauser asserts that the
moon does not revolve around the earth,
as the modern astronomy says; because.
if il were so, the eclipses of the sun
would begin by the oriental part of that
luminary, and end to the west; absolute
ly the contrary of what is observed.
But the moon accompanies the earth,
from west to east, in her annual revolu-
ton. Her apogee and perigee take place
indifferently when she is new. full, or in
her quarters. Apogee signifies the
point of the moons orbit the farthest
from the earth. At the summer solstice
the moon may be at perigee, when she is
new, and at apogee when she is full. At
the winter solstice, she may be at apogee
when she is new, and at perigee when
she is full.
From this regulation may be deduced
the general characteristics of the whole
plan: that the moon, in her movement
of annual translation, makes excursions
on each side of the terrestrial orbit; that
these excursions are included within
two circular limits, concentrlc with the
center of her orbit, and beyond which
she never passes; that the orbit Of the
earth being eccentric TO these two circn-
lar limits. our vision may allow itself to
be surprised by deceptive perspectives'
and thereby assign to the movements of
the moon, which are constantly uniform
and always in the plane Of the eeliptic,
inequalitie that do not exist: in fine,
may subordinate the judgment TO the
errors of a system of false appearances.

THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 9, 1875
Rev. Ellison Capers.

Rev. Ellison Capers, of Greenville, has
resigned the charge of the Episcopal
Church in that city, and has accepted an
unanimous invitation to Selma, Ala,
where larger and more extensive field
of usefulness is profered to him. 1t has
been apparent to the friends of Mr..
Capers that his removal from Greenville
was only question of time, for he has
received numerous calls during the last
several years, and his reputation was
certain to secure for him the most liberal
offers from distance. He had no desire
to leave the State at any time, and the
allurements of increased salary would
not alone influence him to forsake the
people of South Carolina but the oppor-
tunity is afforded him. to enter upon a
wider sphere of christian labor, besides
afording to his family greater comfort,
and to himself more absolute relief from
the cares of life. Mr.. Capers is justly
beloved wherever known, and in this
community he has many warmly at
tached friends, whose earnest wishes for
his welfare and prosperity will always at
tend him.

The State Fair.

It has been formerly announced that
the Seventh Annual Fair of the State
Agricultural and Mechanical Society
will be held in Columbia during the Sec
ond week in November. In addition to
the regular premium list, additional in
ducements have been offered for liberal
display of the agricultural products Of
the State. A premium of $500 is offered
to the County that makes the largest and
best exhibition of its products, including
stock, mechanical implements, field crops
and handiwork. A premium of 5000 is
offered for the second best, and pre-
MUM of 500 is offered for the third best
exhibition of this character. Of course,
in the counties where there are regularly
organized agricultural societies, it is ex-
pected for these societies to undertake
the collection of the articles to be exhibi-
ted; but in the counties where no such
societies exist, the Patrons of Husbandry
are urged to collect and prepare the pro-
ducts for exhibition, and to enter the list
for these prizes. Here is chance for
the farmers and mechanics of Anderson
County to wilma handsome premium, and
we trust the exhibitors at our County
Fair will unite in sending their animals
and articles to Columbia.

The California Election.

The general election which was held in
California on the 1st inst. resulted in a
sweeping victory for the Democracy, and
straightcns out party lines in that State.
VIM. Irwin, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, is chosen by an immense ma
jority over Phelps, Republican, and the
Independent candidate, Bidwell, did not
carry county in the State. Three out
of the four Congressman are Democrats,
and the Legislature is overwhelmingly
Democratic. This triumph proves that
the tidal wave has not rcccdcd, and that
the people of California have rcpudiated
President Grant and his allies in the most
emphatic manner.

Our County Fair.

The eighth annual fair of the Ander-
son Farmers and Mechanics Association
will be held on the 9th, 2Sth and 29th
of October next, and we again extend an
Invitation to the farmers, mechanics aDd
manufacturers of this section to hIlng
specimens of their skill and ingenuity
FOE exhibition. These annual reunions
Of our people are looked forward to with
much interest, and we are confident that
great practical benefit has resulted from
the honorable rivalry amongst our far
mers and MECHANICS i'm the past. The
exhibition has always shown a steady
improvement from year to year, and with
the co.operatiop Of those most interested
in such exhibitions, there is no reason to
Ioubt the increased excellence and en-
larged display of products at the coming
Fair. Every arrangement will be made
for the accommodation of visitors and
exhibitors, and it is contemplated that
additional improvements will be made
upon the Fair Grounds. All persons in
terested in the development and improve
ment of our domestic industry are earnest
ly requested to cooperate with the officers
Of the Association in making the exhibit
ton complete and gratifying success.
The ladies have always been foremost
in encouraging the County Fair, and to
their efforts we will look for continued
exhibitions of taste and skill in their va
rious departments. A new feature has
been introduced this year, intended for
the encouragement of the unmarried
ladies, which is the offer of a handsome
premium for the best dinner, not exceed
ing six dishes, to be cooked and served
upon the Fair Grounds, by any single
lady usder twenty years of age, on Thurs
day, 2Sth of October. This premium is
splendid cooking stove, which has been
generously donated to the Association by
the manufacturers, Messrs. Rathbone,
Saw & Co., Of Albany, N. Y. Young
ladies desiring to compete for this hand
some and useful premium must give no.
tice to the Secretary on or before the l1th
of October, in order that arrangements
may be made for the contest, and the
requisite number of stoves supplied.
The meals will be cooked at the same
time, and each young lady competing
for the premium furnished with stove.
The committee, to decide upon the con-
test, will consist of the officers of the AS
sociation. This is novel and interest
ing feature, and we trust there will be
lively competition among the young
ladies for this valuable premium, which
is one of the best cooking stoves manu-
factured in this country.

WalhalIa.

1t was our privilege to spend few
days in Walhalla during the past week.
The principal object of the visit was to
attend meeting of the Oconee Agricul-
tural Society, which proposed to reorgan-
ize and inauguratc a County Fair, and
an invitation had been extended for us
to meet with the Society. The meeting
was held on Saturday last, when several
hundred persons assembled in the Court
House, and listened to an able and in
structive address from Col. D. Wyatt
Aiken, of Cokcsbury, who had been in
vited to address the people generally
upon the subject of agriculture. AS
Master of the State Grange, Col. Aiken
is doing a good work in visiting different
sections, and explaining the objects and
purposes of the Patrons of Husbandry.
He deals in stubborn and striking facts
to illustrate the necessity of cooperation
among the farmers, and at the same time
sets forth the great needs of the farmer
with searching truths and exceeding
plainness. His speech at Walhalla oc-
cupied two hours, and was mainly devo-
ted to discussion of the social, educa-
tional and pccuniary advantages of the
Grange, dwelling with emphasis upon
the lack of information among the farm
ers of South Carolina as to matters per-
tanning to their calling. He urged with
great force the necessity of education in
its broadest sense, and that the Grange
supplied the means, when properly un-
derstood and acted upon, to benefit the
farmer constantly with the best practical
education in such things as tended to
elevate and advance the farming commu-
nifty.
At the conclusion Of Col. Aiken's
speech, the meeting was called to order
by Col. J. w. Livingston, President OF
the Oconee Agricultural Society, who
explained the object in view, and called
upon the writer for information in regard
to the arrangement and conduct of Coun-
ty Fairs. We gave brief history of the
progress and success of the Anderson
Fair, with which we have been connec-
ted since its inception seven years ago,
and endeavored to encourage the idea OF
the farmers in Oconee County establish
ing these annual re-uniode for their mu-
al benefit and improvement.
A series of resolutions was offered by
Col. R. A. Thompson, and some discus
sion ensued thereupon. As finally adop-
ted by the meeting, the resolutions con-
template beginning this fall by holding
a County Fair in the town of Walhalla ;
the selection of grounds for permanent
location hereafter; the organization of a
Joint stock company, with capital stock
of s2,5OO; and the appointment of suit
able committees to perfect the plan OF
organization. Seneca City and Walhalla
will compete for the permanent location
of the Fair Grounds, and it is understood
that liberal offers will be made by both
places in the donation of lands for the
purpose.
Walhalla is considerable place of
resort for health and pleasure seekers,
and the number of visitors this summer
has been greater than any previous year.
Biemann's Hotel has been crowded for
several months, and there are number
of excellent boarding-houses in town al
most constantly filled with persons from
the low country.
